1
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,160
Where would you stand for the 
reading of the word? 

2
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,800
I do want to thank you. 
You know, we have not had an 

3
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,240
official staff meeting since 
Kingdom Rise. 

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,440
And so again, I asked you to be 
patient with us that until we 

5
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,200
can communicate this out, we all
get in the habit that when that 

6
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,640
first set of scripture comes 
out, we're going to stand and 

7
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,360
I'm going to probably repeat 
this all month, you know, so do 

8
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,160
not get tired of hearing it is 
to remind us. 

9
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,840
The reason we are doing this is 
Apostle Morrissey referenced 

10
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:48,920
this occasion when Ezra of the 
the priest did the reading of 

11
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,360
the word after they had come out
of Babylon and they were 

12
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,120
rebuilding the walls in 
Jerusalem. 

13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,560
And when they read the word that
said the people stood and the 

14
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,640
Lord spoke to me and says you've
done really real well at 

15
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,040
teaching the students at 
Washington to honor authority, 

16
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,520
that every time an adult comes 
in the room they stand up. 

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,120
Don't you think it's time that 
we do that with the word? 

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,040
Amen. 
Now, it's not that we were 

19
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,000
lacking in respect. 
It's just some of these things 

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,960
can become traditional. 
So what we have to do is 

21
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:23,840
reminder this is not a 
tradition. 

22
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,520
We are standing for the first 
reading of whatever, however 

23
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,800
many scriptures we do. 
And you're imagining with your, 

24
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:36,600
your faith eye that we have been
transported, as Paul said, to 

25
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,240
the 3rd heaven. 
And now we are standing before 

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,640
the throne of which the Father 
is there. 

27
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,120
And he has leaned over to his 
son Jesus at his right hand and 

28
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,240
says, say this. 
And basically it's like, hear 

29
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,000
ye, hear ye. 
The king is speaking. 

30
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,960
And so we are in awe of the 
words that are coming out of the

31
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,600
King's mouth. 
And so we are setting an 

32
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,120
atmosphere of saying, God, we 
honor you. 

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,200
You are king. 
You understand Jesus is not your

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,280
homeboy. 
He's not your buddy, your pal. 

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,680
He is savior. 
He's king. 

36
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:13,000
He's Lord. 
He's to be respected. 

37
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,440
Now that doesn't mean that he 
couldn't joke with you that he's

38
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,840
not has it would have one of the
greatest personalities and easy 

39
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,640
to get along. 
But he's not a chump. 

40
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,840
He's not a chump. 
He's not someone you just kick 

41
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,640
back when it's all he don't man.
You fall on your face when he's 

42
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:32,920
in the room. 
Are you hearing me? 

43
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,720
There is protocol in a Kingdom 
and we've treated Jesus like he 

44
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,000
just some back, you know, 
somebody that we just come in 

45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,080
and you know, I can just talk to
him so easy. 

46
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:51,080
I can talk always knowing He's 
on the throne with great honor 

47
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,440
and respect. 
And I will not allow myself to 

48
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,200
cross that line. 
Mark chapter 1, verses 21 to 27.

49
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,320
It says this. 
And they went to Capernaum, and 

50
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,000
immediately on the Sabbath he 
entered the synagogue and began 

51
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,920
to teach. 
And they were amazed at his 

52
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:10,240
teaching, for he was, for he was
teaching them as one having 

53
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,600
authority, and not as the 
scribes. 

54
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,520
Just then there was a man in the
synagogue with an unclean 

55
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,520
spirit, and he cried out, 
saying, What business do we have

56
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,680
with each other? 
Jesus of Nazareth, have you come

57
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,360
to destroy us? 
I know who you are, the Holy One

58
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,160
of God. 
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, 

59
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,000
Be quiet, come out of him, 
throwing him into a convulsion. 

60
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,560
The unclean spirit cried out 
with a loud voice and came out 

61
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,760
of him. 
They were all amazed. 

62
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,600
So they debated among 
themselves, saying, what is 

63
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,280
this? 
A new teaching with authority? 

64
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,160
He commanded even unclean 
spirits, and they obey him. 

65
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,880
You can be seated. 
So today I want to start on 

66
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,680
Wednesday nights to discuss 
God's Kingdom authority because 

67
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,600
it's very important for us to 
understand authority if we are 

68
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,880
going to be people of faith, 
meaning operate in faith. 

69
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,600
You will not actually operate in
faith until you truly understand

70
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,680
authority. 
At the end of the day, most 

71
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,839
people that do not understand 
authority will say they're in 

72
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,720
faith, but the reality is they 
are in hope and they're almost 

73
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,960
not even in hope. 
They may be more in wishful 

74
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,560
thinking because wishful 
thinking is they know God can. 

75
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:34,000
They hope he does, but they 
already accept if he doesn't, 

76
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,160
it'll be all right. 
We're going to praise him 

77
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,520
anyway. 
Well, that's not knowing what 

78
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,640
he's going to do. 
Hope is actually in Bible 

79
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,200
definition. 
Hope is confident expectation, 

80
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:52,480
which means then you can 
confidently expect that what is 

81
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,440
being said will come to pass 
which then moves you over into a

82
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,880
firm persuasion. 
Faith is a firm persuasion 

83
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,880
meaning what I have heard cause 
faith comes by hearing and 

84
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,360
hearing from the word of God. 
That's where our firms 

85
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,520
persuasion is to come from. 
We then become this unmoved. 

86
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,920
No other option is going to 
enter my mind. 

87
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,960
I will stay with the word that 
the King has spoken. 

88
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,840
It will be that way. 
No other way, period, because 

89
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:31,560
the King does not lie. 
God is not a man that he should.

90
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,240
He should lie. 
God is not a man and we treat 

91
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,480
him like a man now. 
He came as a man, Jesus did, but

92
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,920
he's still not a man that we 
treat him like. 

93
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,680
He's again a buddy in power. 
You're my buddy in power. 

94
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,760
I mean, man, you don't want 
that, all right? 

95
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,600
You want him as your king. 
So Jesus, he's here in the 

96
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,160
synagogue, which is the Jewish 
church, OK, we can say it that 

97
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,240
way. 
And he's ministering there. 

98
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,480
He is ministering from the same 
Torah and the papers of the 

99
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,280
prophets, both major and minor. 
And he would speak concerning 

100
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:12,440
and he would teach things. 
And it says that when he did 

101
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,920
this, that all the people were 
amazed at his teaching. 

102
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,400
And they said this. 
He was teaching as one having 

103
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:31,960
authority as one having 
authority, and they compared his

104
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,720
teaching to the scribes they 
were used to hearing. 

105
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,040
But yet when the scribes use the
same passages, it did not come 

106
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:47,480
across the same way. 
And in this case, there just 

107
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,080
happened to be another 
individual in the church that 

108
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,440
had an unclean spirit that 
apparently had no problem 

109
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,800
hanging out in the service when 
the scribes talked. 

110
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:05,400
But when Jesus talked, when 
authority started to speak and 

111
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:12,840
declare, all of a sudden that 
realm knows it must bow. 

112
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,040
You understand demons do not 
attack Jesus. 

113
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,160
There's nowhere can you find the
scripture that the demonic 

114
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:31,600
attacks Jesus. 
When they are in a human vessel.

115
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:39,440
They run to Jesus and then fall 
down and bow and then get into a

116
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:46,640
plead agreement. 
In essence, they beg, they're 

117
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,920
begging. 
Not like the horror movies that 

118
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,240
we, you know, not we, you like 
to watch. 

119
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,080
All right, You know, because The
Exorcist never would have turned

120
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,920
out that way. 
If somebody from Anchor Faith 

121
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,120
Church would have been in the 
room, right? 

122
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,520
You'd have been like, shut up, 
come out. 

123
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,640
And then she would have been in 
her right mind and none of that 

124
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,600
puking stuff would have been 
happening and the movie would 

125
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,480
have been over, right? 
And people have been like, well,

126
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,520
that wasn't very scary. 
Well, if you the reason it 

127
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,400
turned out like it is 'cause 
this guy in the movie, which I 

128
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,720
never watched the movie, you 
understand, I'm just giving you 

129
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,159
thought processes from what 
little clips that I've heard 

130
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:37,080
about or seen, period. 
But this guy obviously was of 

131
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,880
the line of the seven sons of 
Skiba, which is the only reason 

132
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,920
he had problems, because they 
didn't know who they were and 

133
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,720
they didn't know the authority. 
They knew Jesus had authority 

134
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,360
and they saw Paul function with 
that authority, but they 

135
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,120
themselves did not have that 
authority. 

136
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:59,560
Jesus preaches and they're like,
man, this guy is teaching as one

137
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,280
who has authority. 
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

138
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:09,480
So with that being said, look at
Matthew chapter 15, verse 3, 

139
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:15,920
Matthew chapter 15, verse 3, 
Jesus saying to religious, the 

140
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,200
Pharisees, he said to them, why 
do you yourselves transgress the

141
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:24,880
commandment of God for the sake 
of your traditions? 

142
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,400
So some traditions have 
manifested and he's saying 

143
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,440
there's an there's authority 
with the word that functions, 

144
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,440
but you have created traditions 
that have no authority, no 

145
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,080
power. 
He goes on in verse 7 to 9, he 

146
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:48,040
says you hypocrites. 
He says you hypocrites rightly 

147
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:54,600
did Isaiah prophecy of you. 
This people honor me with their 

148
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,120
lips, but their heart is far 
away from me. 

149
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,640
But in vain do they worship me, 
teaching as doctrines the 

150
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,360
precepts of men. 
Are you seeing that? 

151
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,080
So what can we learn from this? 
The difference between precepts 

152
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,720
of men or religion and the 
Kingdom of God is authority. 

153
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,240
It's authority. 
This is why every place that 

154
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:28,360
calls itself Church may not be 
functioning as what Jesus 

155
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,240
intended. 
Now I'm not here to judge that. 

156
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,000
I have no say about any other 
church anywhere in the planet. 

157
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:42,640
All I'm saying is, is that there
are places that ascribe to the 

158
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:49,400
name Church, and yet they teach 
as doctrines, precepts of men. 

159
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:56,920
And in their teaching there is 
no authority, zero. 

160
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,680
In essence, they're teaching 
leaves you in ambiguity. 

161
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,840
It could, it couldn't, maybe it 
will, maybe it doesn't, but 

162
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,280
we're going to follow him 
anyway. 

163
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,280
We love God. 
It's a mystery, you know, His 

164
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:18,600
ways are higher than our ways. 
His thoughts are higher than our

165
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,240
thoughts. 
So, you know, maybe He'll heal 

166
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,400
you, maybe he won't. 
Can he? 

167
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,480
Yes. 
Can God deliver you? 

168
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,200
Can God set you free? 
Does God do? 

169
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,480
Yes. 
However, it could be your lot in

170
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,200
life. 
Now you understand all those 

171
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:42,840
things sound genuine, but how do
you attach faith to that? 

172
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,040
Will you attach faith to that? 
If you see faith as basically a 

173
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:54,040
belief of God, not bringing 
something from God's realm into 

174
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,240
this realm, manifesting 
something that God has said. 

175
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:01,720
Now, if we use faith, if, you 
know, if the church universally 

176
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,080
is just using faith as we 
believe in God, that's faith. 

177
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,920
Well, that's not Bible faith. 
That's just religious faith. 

178
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,320
Because again, Buddhists have 
faith. 

179
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,840
You know, Islam has faith. 
Zen is faith. 

180
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,000
New Age is faith. 
They have a belief system, 

181
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:23,320
right? 
But do they have authority? 

182
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:30,840
I said, do they have authority? 
And so again, you know, if we 

183
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:36,840
don't watch out, our teaching 
can become so concerned about 

184
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,920
saying something that some it 
may challenge someone's ability 

185
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:46,920
to believe firmly persuaded. 
So we leave layers of ambiguity.

186
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,240
But then no one has nothing to 
attach itself to. 

187
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,360
Jesus left no layers of 
ambiguity. 

188
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,160
He said this is how it is Now. 
Do you understand? 

189
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:03,240
Jesus did not say my father 
could cast the devil out of 

190
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,320
this, this unclean spirit. 
He could do it. 

191
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,160
Now, whether he will or not, I 
don't know. 

192
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:12,880
I don't know what it would have 
seen, what would have happened 

193
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,800
in the synagogue that day. 
I mean, we probably could 

194
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,800
surmise, but again, Jesus is 
just mere teaching. 

195
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,560
Obviously there was something he
was saying. 

196
00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:25,000
They're like this guy's talking 
like it can happen because 

197
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,800
here's the word authority in 
this passage of Scripture. 

198
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:34,360
It's the Greek word exusia and 
it means power to act authority.

199
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,320
In the new American Standard, it
is translated 7 times 

200
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,600
authorities, 65 time authority, 
one time charge, one time 

201
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,880
control, 1/2 times domain, one 
time dominion, one time 

202
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,880
jurisdiction, one time liberty, 
11 times power, one time powers,

203
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,880
and 11 time right. 
Thayers says this. 

204
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,120
Most of us when we hear 
authority. 

205
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:02,000
I know I was taught this way 
because it is in a context and 

206
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,160
there's a reality to that 
context which is authority or 

207
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,720
this authority is delegated 
power. 

208
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:14,400
And I have no problem with that 
because the Father has absolute 

209
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:25,160
final authority, period, And he 
can delegate his final say. 

210
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,560
But Thayer's points out another 
definition of authority that I 

211
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,240
believe is really more fitting 
when you understand that Jesus 

212
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,800
is not just the one who saved 
the world, but is King of all 

213
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,920
creation. 
It is the power of rule or 

214
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:49,640
government, the power of him 
whose will and commands must be 

215
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,280
submitted to by others and 
obeyed. 

216
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,880
I'm going to say that again, 
this is a definition of the 

217
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:05,920
Greek word authority, the power 
of rule or government, the power

218
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:11,800
of Him whose will and commands 
must be submitted to by others 

219
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,600
and obeyed. 
Now we said this forever because

220
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,640
God's doing this. 
He will let you do whatever you 

221
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,680
want to do. 
However, He will hold you 

222
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,440
accountable to whatever you do. 
Now, how will He hold you 

223
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,120
accountable to your word, to 
your mama's word for you that 

224
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,320
you've been following, to your 
daddy's word for you that you've

225
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,040
been following from your 
auntie's word, to your grandma's

226
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:44,480
word, to your boss's word, to 
your president's word, to your 

227
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:51,360
spouse's word, or to his word? 
You understand, it's really easy

228
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,920
when you have conversations with
anyone it, it all comes down to,

229
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,560
well, whose word are you believe
in? 

230
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:06,240
Are you believing your take on 
it or his take, your take or his

231
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,840
take? 
You know, there's a lot going 

232
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,320
around right now with the book 
of Enoch, a lot going around. 

233
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,960
It's not in the canonization of,
of the Bible. 

234
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,560
But yeah, there's a lot. 
And you know, I have no problem 

235
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,160
that people have interest. 
But if we're not even going to 

236
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:27,840
master the 1st 66, you know, 
some are going to the Book of 

237
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,800
Enoch, which we call Enoch. 
That's Enoch. 

238
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:36,240
I say Enoch, but whichever one 
it is, OK, right. 

239
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,440
The man lived and went with the 
Lord. 

240
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,560
Pretty amazing. 
And there was something out 

241
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,880
there that Jude communicates 
about it. 

242
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,120
So there's something there. 
However, it's not what we would 

243
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:59,640
major on in order for us to live
a life fully submitted to the 

244
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,240
word and Lordship of Jesus. 
Because you understand it is 

245
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,160
very significant based upon 
these particular right? 

246
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:14,200
Because again, you understand 
God, God has to make sure his 

247
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:20,079
word is in the earth that all 
could have access to. 

248
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:27,880
He's not holding a book out that
would all of a sudden bring off 

249
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,240
all the missing. 
He's not doing that because he 

250
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,120
could not rightly judge you. 
Like if we only would have had 

251
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:39,560
that book Lord Lord's like bro, 
but he wouldn't say bro, you 

252
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,880
understand because he's not your
buddy in power. 

253
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:47,360
He's the Lord would say I have 
given you the word. 

254
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:54,320
These canonizations or these 
writings are refute irrefutable.

255
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,960
And if you there, there's so 
much trues in just the letter of

256
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:05,800
Ephesus, the book of Romans, we 
wouldn't be able to mine out in 

257
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,200
our lifetime. 
And then we want to get over to 

258
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,000
1st and 2nd Maccabees and all 
these other, you know, extended 

259
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,600
ones, if they they historically 
can help us understand some 

260
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,800
things. 
And most of this is 'cause, you 

261
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,480
know, we're just digging a 
little deeper. 

262
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,840
But the reality is, are we 
really submitted to his 

263
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,480
authority now? 
Because at the end of the day, 

264
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,640
what does the Bible say 
concerning Jesus's authority? 

265
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:39,120
How many knees going to bow? 
Every knee, every knee will bow,

266
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,160
every tongue will confess. 
And that's not a Earl Glisten 

267
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,880
statement. 
That is a word of God statement 

268
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:53,920
Jesus his authority into the 
realm of the fallen. 

269
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,720
Had them obey that unclean 
spirit. 

270
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:11,560
Didn't say I'm not going right, 
right, right, right. 

271
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:22,400
Didn't say, has no authority, 
none to say you can't make me 

272
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,880
Hallelujah, Ecclesiastes, this 
sets you free. 

273
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,840
I mean, at the end of the day, 
the majority of the struggles in

274
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,760
the world today is a submission 
issue. 

275
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,240
Husbands have a hard time 
submitting to the Lord and 

276
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,360
walking in the right 
relationship with their spouse. 

277
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,480
Wives having a hard time 
submitting to in the marriage 

278
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,520
relationship. 
Employees to employers 

279
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,920
submission issues. 
Children to their parents 

280
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:07,080
submission issues, government 
submission issues. 

281
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:13,440
Right, All these issues, but the
biggest one is submitting to the

282
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,480
Lord, yet it is the one that 
brings life. 

283
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:23,320
Because He is life, all right. 
So again, Jesus is not asking 

284
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,880
you to be born of Him without 
submission. 

285
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:34,400
In fact, salvation alone is 
literally addressing submission.

286
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:41,440
You have to acknowledge your 
choices and what you thought was

287
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:49,120
right must bow to God's way. 
You have to admit you were off. 

288
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,840
Then in order to be saved, you 
must call on the name of the 

289
00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,080
Lord, supreme authority or the 
power of the government that 

290
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,600
communicates His will that he 
expects. 

291
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,080
Or he says you must submit and 
obey you. 

292
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,840
Now that is, and it's happening 
now in our society. 

293
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,680
People are saying Jesus is a 
narcissist. 

294
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:28,290
Jesus is love, but Jesus is the 
ruler. 

295
00:21:31,050 --> 00:21:33,650
Hallelujah. 
And you know what? 

296
00:21:33,650 --> 00:21:38,530
He's not making you at all, but 
he is offering. 

297
00:21:40,850 --> 00:21:47,330
I said he is offering because 
again, it's our rebellion that 

298
00:21:47,330 --> 00:21:55,280
says I'm going to do it my way, 
but it's God's way that is life.

299
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,400
Are you hearing me now? 
These statements that I'm making

300
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,720
are pretty emphatic right, 
because there's nowhere with the

301
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,760
Lord saying, well, maybe you're 
right. 

302
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,240
What do you, what do you think? 
I mean, I've heard minister say,

303
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,400
well, if I was at the beginning,
maybe I ought to talk to the 

304
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,440
Lord and said, you know, maybe 
certain sexual orientations 

305
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,600
would have been a big deal. 
Well, you can say what you want,

306
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,640
but he's Lord and he's life. 
And really who do you think you 

307
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,880
are to question now why do I say
that? 

308
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,000
Look at Ecclesiastes 8 and verse
4. 

309
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:36,880
It says this for the word of a 
king is authority and power. 

310
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,760
And who can say to him, what are
you doing? 

311
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,680
I mean, did the demon say, what 
are you doing? 

312
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,440
You know how many times I've 
been in this synagogue with all 

313
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,880
these other scribes teaching the
same passage as you've been 

314
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,320
doing? 
Don't be bothering me. 

315
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,560
I have found a house and I'm 
comfortable here, and I've got 

316
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:06,040
this human to submit to me. 
And he does what I want and I 

317
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,520
don't want to leave. 
So you just go ahead and roll up

318
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,600
your scroll and head on out the 
door. 

319
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,960
Pretty good teaching you had 
today. 

320
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,880
No, that's not what it sounded 
like, did it? 

321
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,040
No, he started to teach. 
And whatever he was teaching 

322
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,760
that day, it caused the spirit, 
that unclean spirit to squirm. 

323
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,640
And he was like, this is it, 
this is the guy. 

324
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,480
This is the guy, this is the one
that the devil's been talking 

325
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,840
about, that anointed cherub that
fell. 

326
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,560
He said that a cease coming 
through a woman. 

327
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,040
We have been killing kids for 
generation. 

328
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,560
This is the guy. 
I'm telling you, this is the 

329
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,480
guy. 
This is the guy. 

330
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,800
You hear how we go? 
That's the guy right there. 

331
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,640
He's it. 
That's the one. 

332
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,040
I know who you are, the holy one
of God. 

333
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:08,040
That's the one he says shut up 
and come out and the vocal cords

334
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,720
of the human stop and the 
unclean spirit as he went 

335
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,840
through the guy down he went 
into like epilepsy episode and 

336
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:29,800
then boom, gone Hallelujah and 
everyone, which I love, at least

337
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,280
in the synagogue, they didn't 
run away like that would 

338
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,520
probably happen in most American
churches today. 

339
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:44,080
Somebody started you'd be like 
get your kids, you got to get 

340
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,440
your kids. 
I I don't know what's going on 

341
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,480
at that church right there. 
I don't know what's going on, 

342
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,880
but I am out of here. 
We are out of here. 

343
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,680
No, that church just took 
authority over an unclean spirit

344
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,240
and freed somebody. 
But you're so ignorant in the 

345
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,760
word you don't know what's going
on. 

346
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,800
What you should do is bring all 
your other devil with possessed 

347
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,720
friends and say we going to 
church, we have found a place 

348
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,920
that you cannot be comfortable 
there. 

349
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,360
That thing that has got you in 
bond is going to have a hard 

350
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:16,640
time sitting in that service. 
Right? 

351
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:23,000
Say Hallelujah. 
I mean, when the authority of 

352
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:29,200
the King manifests, everything 
stops. 

353
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,920
Say Amen. 
Look at Matthew chapter 8, verse

354
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,400
five through 10. 
Then we'll jump down to 13. 

355
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,520
It says this. 
And when Jesus entered 

356
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,040
Capernaum, a centurion came to 
him. 

357
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,400
Implore him, saying, Lord, what 
do you say? 

358
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,320
What do you say? 
What do you say, Lord? 

359
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:58,320
Let me say it in the definition.
Supreme authority, whose 

360
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:03,640
government is above all, and 
your will must be obeyed. 

361
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,200
My servant is lying paralyzed at
home, fearfully tormented. 

362
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,440
Jesus said to him, I will come 
and heal him. 

363
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,200
But the centurion said, what? 
What he calling? 

364
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,840
Come on, what he calling not 
savior, not buddy, not homeboy 

365
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:27,240
Jesus. 
There was honor definitely with 

366
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,480
the centurion. 
I mean some of the greatest 

367
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,280
displays I've ever seen are 
military exercises because 

368
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,640
there's a level of honor there, 
yet the civilian be like big 

369
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,520
deal because you don't 
understand honor. 

370
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,240
This is deeper then just you 
thinking you walk in and do what

371
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,640
you want to do. 
There's a respect and honor and 

372
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,120
atmosphere that is larger than 
you. 

373
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,920
You're not the center of 
attention, right? 

374
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,320
He said. 
Lord, I'm not worthy for you to 

375
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:03,320
come under my roof, but say the 
word and my servant will be 

376
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:09,640
healed. 
For I also am a man under 

377
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,600
authority, right? 
With soldiers under me. 

378
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,440
One translation, I'm a man under
authority and in authority. 

379
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,120
The first thing you recognize, 
Jesus was not his seat of 

380
00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:26,680
authority, but the seat he was 
under, because Jesus has always 

381
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:33,640
been under authority and will 
always be under authority. 

382
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,440
He said I, I do nothing on my 
own initiative. 

383
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:39,520
Why do we struggle with being 
under? 

384
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,440
Because Jesus doesn't struggle 
with being under. 

385
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,360
Why do we struggle with being 
under? 

386
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,560
It's your old man, It's your old
nature. 

387
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,560
It's your dead man. 
The minute you struggle, well, I

388
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,480
just don't want to do it. 
That's your old man talk. 

389
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:04,200
Because Jesus is not struggling 
with being under authority at 

390
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,280
all. 
So he recognized, he says, 

391
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,600
listen, I am a man also under 
authority with soldiers under 

392
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,080
me. 
And I say to this one, go and he

393
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,320
talks back to me. 
And then we have to debate. 

394
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,040
It's an argument. 
And eventually, because I'm a 

395
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,120
centurion, I've been in many 
wars and I've killed many men, I

396
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:28,600
take them down and I let them 
know I'm the man. 

397
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,880
And then they finally do it. 
That's not what happens, does 

398
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:39,000
it? 
No, I say come and he said I'll 

399
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:46,840
be there in 5 minutes and he 
comes to my slave do this. 

400
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:57,280
I don't feel like it. 
I don't want to do that All 

401
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:03,240
right, shout Amen. 
Now, when Jesus heard this, he, 

402
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:10,920
you know why Jesus is not 
marveling over many believers is

403
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,960
because most believers want 
Jesus to be a genie. 

404
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,440
Lord, I wish you would do this 
for me. 

405
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,840
I don't know if you will, but I 
want you to do it. 

406
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,080
Really, I want you to do it. 
And I'll say, if you don't do 

407
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,000
it, I'm probably going to be 
upset because I know you can, 

408
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,400
because you can do anything, 
because I know the scripture, it

409
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,880
says all things are possible 
with you. 

410
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,040
So this is how I want this to be
resolved. 

411
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,600
So I'm praying and I'm going to 
have what I say. 

412
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:52,960
See, that's not submission. 
That is telling God your wish 

413
00:29:52,960 --> 00:30:01,320
list. 
He says. 

414
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,720
And the centurion is not even 
coming for his own interest. 

415
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,120
He's thinking about somebody 
else. 

416
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,440
He's like, Lord, I have a 
servant. 

417
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,520
Like, what do you even care 
about the servant? 

418
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,760
And he's a gentile, he's a Roman
soldier. 

419
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:28,520
He's not even in. 
He is the occupying government. 

420
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,280
Wow this is so awesome. 
When Jesus heard this he 

421
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,080
marvelled and said to those who 
are following, look what he 

422
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,360
said. 
He said truly I say to you, I 

423
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:45,000
have not found such great. 
Which tells me great faith is 

424
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:51,360
directly connected to 
understanding, submission and 

425
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:57,080
authority. 
You will not function in great 

426
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:02,640
faith if you fail to have 
revelation of submission to 

427
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,920
authority. 
And the authority, you have to 

428
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,880
understand, will do exactly what
it says. 

429
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:15,360
We are so conditioned in our 
world where people who have had 

430
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,920
authority failed to do what they
said. 

431
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,960
Man, we're humans and 
unfortunately that happens. 

432
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,960
It does happen sometimes. 
It happens not because you want 

433
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,200
to. 
Sometimes it happens because you

434
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:31,280
forget, but somebody remembers 
and doesn't remind you of what 

435
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,600
you said you would do and you 
sure would have done it. 

436
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,360
They remind you because you 
didn't really not want to do it,

437
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,960
you just forgot, got busy or 
something. 

438
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,760
But then they get offended and 
now we have a problem submitting

439
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,280
to authority because the 
authority said they were going 

440
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,640
to do this and they didn't do 
it. 

441
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,240
But see, God says this put me in
remembrance of my word. 

442
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:56,480
Now that's not because God's a 
forgetter, it's because God 

443
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,680
wants you well versed in 
understanding His Word and 

444
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,640
knowing His Word and you keeping
His Word in front of you. 

445
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:11,680
Because time will sometimes rob 
you of what God is moving 

446
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,560
towards you. 
Time will open up the door for 

447
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,720
doubt and you'll begin to 
question the authority. 

448
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,080
See, when you have a lack of 
faith, what you're really doing 

449
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,640
is you're questioning the 
authority of God. 

450
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,800
You're saying God won't do what 
he says. 

451
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:43,800
No, God will do what he says 
every time without fail, say 

452
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,480
Amen, Amen, Hallelujah. 
So Jesus marvelled. 

453
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,680
He marvelled and he says I have 
not found such great faith with 

454
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,120
anyone. 
And he's saying among those that

455
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:01,840
are I am in covenant with, it is
my covenant nation I cannot 

456
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,800
find. 
I mean, they have a history of 

457
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:17,200
me conquering, delivering, 
healing, providing, overcoming 

458
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,840
realms of darkness. 
I mean, they've seen the gamut. 

459
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:27,520
And then this guy that's a 
Gentile in an occupying 

460
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,600
government that is inferior to 
my nation, if they would only 

461
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:39,160
obey, they never would have been
at a conquer has more 

462
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:45,880
understanding of the authority I
possess than my whole nation. 

463
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:52,680
So experience with God will not 
keep you staying with the 

464
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,080
authority of God. 
Just because some God has done 

465
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,520
something in your life doesn't 
mean the next time you will 

466
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,920
maintain he functions with 
authority. 

467
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,160
He will always do what he says. 
You have to keep that in your 

468
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,719
own mind. 
That's right. 

469
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:10,719
All right, y'all doing all 
right. 

470
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,400
OK then you go to verse 13. 
Jesus said to the centurion, go,

471
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,400
it shall be done for you as you 
have. 

472
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,679
And what was his faith in the 
authority of Jesus word? 

473
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:31,199
That's what his faith was in. 
His faith was not in He's God. 

474
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,040
His faith was not in, you know 
you could take me to heaven when

475
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,760
you die. 
His faith was in you have 

476
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:44,800
authority. 
Speak the word, it will happen, 

477
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,440
period. 
And I understand taking orders. 

478
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,199
Now here's the crazy thing, He's
wanting Jesus to speak to 

479
00:34:54,199 --> 00:35:00,360
symptoms. 
This guy has enough revelation 

480
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,040
of understanding God that he's 
like I'm not asking you to talk 

481
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:08,160
to my servant. 
I'm asking you to speak to the 

482
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,280
symptoms that are tormenting my 
serve and they will leave his 

483
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:17,440
body and you do not even have to
be present for that to occur. 

484
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:23,920
Just make the command because 
those symptoms will hear your 

485
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:31,440
words and will release itself 
from the from the cells on a 

486
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:38,200
Monette molecular level of his 
body and leave it and look what 

487
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:45,360
it says the servant was healed 
that very by the time he got 

488
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,160
back, he's completely healed and
he says, how long you been like 

489
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,280
this? 
And he said, well, actually, 

490
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,040
I've been like this for about 
whatever that time was and that 

491
00:35:53,040 --> 00:36:02,640
time the centurion says that's 
exactly when Jesus said go come 

492
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:08,480
on, say Hallelujah, Amen. 
Say you want to shout about 

493
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:09,600
these things. 
You want to have an 

494
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,040
acknowledgement of Amen, or so 
be it. 

495
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,160
Because again, you know, you go 
through season and season and 

496
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,400
season and season of certain 
things that you'll get dull and 

497
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,960
all of a sudden medical science 
and all this stuff and you will 

498
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,880
fail to remember that he's the 
healer, the Lord that healeth 

499
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,880
thee, and that he actually has 
the final say about everything. 

500
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:31,960
And he shouldn't be the last 
say. 

501
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,160
He should be the first say in 
the process of anything being 

502
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,760
said because I'm not against you
doing things. 

503
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,200
Sometimes the Lord will say, go 
tell them to cut that out. 

504
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,040
Go and find out what it is so 
that you can speak to it. 

505
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,000
Because God's already healed 
everything, but He needs your 

506
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,400
mouth submitted to His 
authority, believing like the 

507
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,560
centurion and say it is this 
way. 

508
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,160
Now you understand for the 
servant, he can stand in the 

509
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,840
gap. 
As you grow in faith, you're 

510
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,360
going to have to stand in your 
own gap. 

511
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,400
God will allow people to 
function in faith for season for

512
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:21,240
you, but you can't maintain 
ignorance and expect someone 

513
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:27,800
else to believe for you. 
You need to understand His 

514
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,880
authority yourself. 
Is he still the healer? 

515
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,960
Come on, I said, is he still the
healer? 

516
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:35,520
Is he healing still today? 
Amen. 

517
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,240
And again, faith comes by 
hearing. 

518
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,440
So again, if you are not the 
authority of his word is that 

519
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:50,280
way, then guess what, keep 
hearing because of all the other

520
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,480
noise is talking and it's not 
just healing. 

521
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,040
Could be provision, could be a 
plethora of things, right? 

522
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:59,040
Because God's authorities over 
everything. 

523
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,240
There's no situation. 
His name's not above. 

524
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,200
There is no name higher than his
name. 

525
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:11,880
Glory to God I said glory to God
and he's the Redeemer. 

526
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,680
Praise the Lord, Hallelujah, 
Amen. 

527
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:24,440
Whoo again, you can get around 
people that do not believe and 

528
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,280
can be like, you know, the 10 
lepers and the one guy like Lord

529
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,640
or the one leper, you know, 
Lord, if you're willing, you can

530
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,360
heal me. 
And the Lord says I am. 

531
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,560
So again, you get around and 
say, well, you know, I know the 

532
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,400
Lord can he will you got to keep
but he will. 

533
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:47,640
But he will because he has. 
So it's not that he can, he 

534
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,480
will. 
And what is your assignment to 

535
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:55,680
help them or at least be honest 
and say listen, if why are you 

536
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,320
not wanting? 
Because again, most people, 

537
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:05,920
guys, our whole society, we'll 
go to a doctor, a dentist or a 

538
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:14,240
real estate, all these 
transactions and we'll believe 

539
00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:16,200
the person across the table at 
their word. 

540
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:22,120
Seriously, show of hands right 
now for all of you who own a 

541
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,080
home and have a mortgage. 
When you went on the day of 

542
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:32,200
closing and the document showed 
up, you read every word 

543
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:39,660
yourself. 
Anyone. 

544
00:39:39,900 --> 00:39:46,300
No, I did not do this. 
What did you do? 

545
00:39:48,060 --> 00:39:54,980
Sign here now. 
This form is about next form. 

546
00:39:55,020 --> 00:39:59,800
When I went in the army, this 
form is, I mean, I could have 

547
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,320
gave my kidneys away, my liver, 
my eyeballs. 

548
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,480
If you get shot in the shoulder,
we will kill you and harvest all

549
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,760
of your organs. 
I mean, I didn't read it. 

550
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:18,160
It could have said that. 
I mean, it's stacks of paper 

551
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,120
people. 
This one's, you know, your 

552
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:21,920
credit. 
This one's means that if there's

553
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,280
anything that we didn't do, you 
give us power of attorney. 

554
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:30,840
Let me read that one. 
But you don't read it, Doctor. 

555
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,200
Say, you know what? 
I think it's this. 

556
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:41,100
We're going to give you this. 
What's wrong? 

557
00:40:41,260 --> 00:40:43,420
I need. 
Can you get my prescription? 

558
00:40:43,420 --> 00:40:47,140
I mean, we. 
You didn't go to the lab. 

559
00:40:47,740 --> 00:40:49,260
You didn't want. 
You don't understand the 

560
00:40:49,260 --> 00:40:52,100
chemicals. 
You sure aren't reading the side

561
00:40:52,100 --> 00:40:58,260
effects unless they show up. 
Come on. 

562
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,280
I mean, you see all the plethora
because if you watch any Fox 

563
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:07,960
Nation, any Fox Show, there are 
so many prescription being 

564
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:14,600
advertised on a Fox channel and 
everybody's smiling while 

565
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,520
they're giving you the long 
list, which is more than half of

566
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:23,480
the commercial of the side 
effects thoughts of suicide. 

567
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,800
There have been serious case 
where people have actually died.

568
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:29,720
But maybe it's right for you. 
And everybody's fine the whole 

569
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:31,840
time. 
I'm free. 

570
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,240
Yeah. 
We just heard a whole bunch of 

571
00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:37,160
people that got cancer. 
They had heart issues, livers, 

572
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,920
you know, the eyeballs fell out,
Their tongue fell out. 

573
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,280
They lost all their teeth, 
right. 

574
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,240
Their stool looked like coffee 
grounds. 

575
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,440
Why you look at me like at 
Arnell Arnell's like, I know 

576
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:57,840
coffee grounds, right? 
I mean, we just, and we're like,

577
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,760
I mean, there are people who 
will go, you know, I saw a 

578
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:18,070
commercial and yet Jesus says, 
why do we only believe him at 

579
00:42:18,070 --> 00:42:26,790
this word? 
I came through a virgin and I 

580
00:42:26,790 --> 00:42:33,680
died on a cross and I shed my 
blood for the forgiveness of 

581
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,600
your sins. 
That if you accept me as your 

582
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:42,760
savior, you'll be saved. 
Why do we believe that alone? 

583
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,600
Why is that the one that if I, I
mean, I could walk around, say, 

584
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,040
Gil, you born again. 
Do you know? 

585
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,800
Gee, how do you know? 
Maybe you don't. 

586
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,080
What? 
How do we know we really came, 

587
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,040
bro? 
I mean, you would argue red in 

588
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,320
the face, even get mad at me. 
I don't even think you're safe, 

589
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,200
bro. 
I mean, you would get upset 

590
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,320
because that's how firmly 
persuaded you are that you're 

591
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,800
saved. 
Why are we not that way? 

592
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:17,760
With healing or a sound mind or 
a plethora of everything else? 

593
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,960
I'll take that wave. 
Yeah, right. 

594
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,120
Why not? 
Because when you know, he 

595
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:30,440
doesn't just have authority over
the grave, He has authority over

596
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:38,760
every device of the devil. 
Hallelujah. 

597
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,440
Come on, shout Amen. 
All right, can y'all handle one 

598
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:47,600
more? 
Matthew Chapter 9 verses one 

599
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:48,600
through 8. 
Getting in a boat. 

600
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,160
Jesus crossed over the sea and 
came to his own city and they 

601
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:57,800
brought him a paralytic lying on
a bed, seeing their faith, Jesus

602
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,760
said to the paralytic, take 
courage son, your sins are 

603
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,720
forgiven. 
And some of the scribes said to 

604
00:44:03,720 --> 00:44:11,680
themselves, This fellow 
blasphemes Jesus, knowing their 

605
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:16,080
thoughts said, why are you 
thinking evil in your hearts? 

606
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:22,240
Which is easier to say your sins
are forgiven or to say get up 

607
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:31,920
and walk, but so that you may 
know that the Son of Man has has

608
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:39,480
what not faith authority on 
earth to forgive sins. 

609
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:46,960
Then he said to the paralytic, 
get up, pick up your bed and go 

610
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,960
home. 
And he got up and went home. 

611
00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:53,800
And when the crowd saw this, 
they were awestruck. 

612
00:44:54,120 --> 00:45:00,400
Glorified God who had given such
authority to men. 

613
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:02,880
Come on, are you hearing what 
I'm saying? 

614
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:09,400
I just used the Scripture that 
in Jesus's time is the reverse 

615
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:14,040
of what's happening today. 
In Jesus time everybody had seen

616
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,440
him healed so they believed he 
would heal and they were not 

617
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,760
surprised at him healing. 
So no one in the crowd would 

618
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,560
have been surprised for the 
paralyzed guy to get up and walk

619
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,560
because Jesus is healing all who
are Press of the devil. 

620
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,840
But Jesus steps over into a 
whole nother realm of authority 

621
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:43,440
and says you sins are forgiven. 
And then he gives it this, which

622
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:51,880
is say the word, which is which 
is how hard was it to get you 

623
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:58,640
saved, Gil? 
Did we have to pull you down and

624
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,520
wrestle with the Lord? 
Come on, Lord, get inside him. 

625
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:07,200
Lord God, please save this guy. 
Help this man be born again. 

626
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,680
He's calling on you. 
He's saying you're. 

627
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,760
Oh, please, would you do it? 
God, please. 

628
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,840
I don't know if you are. 
Come back tomorrow. 

629
00:46:21,330 --> 00:46:24,410
No, we hear him say. 
And we lead them. 

630
00:46:25,490 --> 00:46:31,520
Just repeat after me, say I 
believe, I believe. 

631
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,760
And we go through the whole 
sinner's prayer and they say in 

632
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,400
the name of Jesus, and then what
do we do? 

633
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:44,520
Whoa, you're saved. 
That's the easiest thing ever. 

634
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,160
We will tell them you don't know
what I've done, don't matter 

635
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:51,760
what you've done. 
Don't matter what you've done. 

636
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:53,520
You don't know how many bath, 
doesn't matter. 

637
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:58,120
He's paid the price, man. 
All you have to do is believe. 

638
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,200
And we're like, see how easy 
that was then? 

639
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:03,360
Why now? 
My life's so changed. 

640
00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:05,720
How many you got born again? 
And you're like, man, my life is

641
00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:07,720
different. 
Was that hard? 

642
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,840
I mean, did you have like, was 
your old man going? 

643
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,680
Who's this new creature coming 
into this house? 

644
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,160
No, you're not. 
No, you're not. 

645
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,560
You get out. 
I have been in here all these 

646
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,360
years and you think you're going
to come? 

647
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:33,640
And he fixed me, right? 
Didn't look like I did it. 

648
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,400
It was like poof, gone. 
I mean, you went down, you came 

649
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,680
up. 
You're like man light. 

650
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,560
You felt like a whole way to 
guilt condemnation. 

651
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,040
You fell off your shoulder and 
you can't explain it, but you 

652
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,840
were different. 
You are seeing new colors. 

653
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,600
I mean it was like wow, a 
freedom. 

654
00:47:48,600 --> 00:48:00,400
You've like what is going on and
Jesus says which is which is 

655
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:07,880
easier because his word is 
authority on all subject matter.

656
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:16,600
Last verse Matthew 2818 woo and 
Jesus came up and spoke to them 

657
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:24,000
saying how much come on how 
much, how much, how much, how 

658
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:31,080
much all. 
Now This is why places that 

659
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:37,960
preach precepts of men. 
This is a hard sell. 

660
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:43,760
Now you can say it, but you 
always give excuses why it may 

661
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:49,920
not happen. 
Like sickness can tell Jesus no 

662
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:55,640
depression. 
In fact, we, because his 

663
00:48:55,640 --> 00:49:01,320
authority is obscure in our 
mind, we know he's supposed to 

664
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:05,960
be final, but we've concluded 
because we don't actually 

665
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,760
believe that, that he's using 
those things to teach us 

666
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:14,600
something. 
So we turn it all around. 

667
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:19,960
And that way when a person has a
problem, they're like, well, I 

668
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:24,120
don't know, I really hope God 
does something, but if he 

669
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:28,040
doesn't, I'm going to love him 
anyway. 

670
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,440
And yet the king saying, what do
you mean? 

671
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:38,320
But do you understand this was a
rebuke Jesus gave to one person.

672
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:49,160
He said, Lord, my son, I took 
him to your disciples, couldn't 

673
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,680
do nothing. 
You know, he's possessed and his

674
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:57,680
demon throws him in the fire, 
you know, thrashes around if you

675
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:03,040
can do anything. 
And what did Jesus say? 

676
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:16,080
If I can, If I can, wow. 
You don't know my authority. 

677
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,800
And Jesus did something with his
authority, not because he had to

678
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,800
prove, but he's trying to 
continue to teach his disciples 

679
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:28,520
some things. 
Because when I get translated 

680
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:34,600
and go up to heaven, I need you 
to know that all authority has 

681
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:39,760
been given to me. 
Most of churches are preaching 

682
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,240
the authority he possesses in 
heaven. 

683
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:50,920
No one's going to argue that he 
has all authority in heaven, but

684
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:55,440
on earth there's the debate. 
And that's the difference 

685
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:00,080
between preaching with authority
or the precepts of men. 

686
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:08,320
Because when we know he's going 
to reign there and reigns there 

687
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:16,160
but not here, you know, there's,
you know, it's like a yin and 

688
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:25,240
Yang effect instead of all I 
need to know is a word from my 

689
00:51:25,240 --> 00:51:27,920
king on the situation I'm going 
through. 

690
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,920
Because I'm telling you right 
now, it will be as he said. 

691
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,640
And the minute I hear that, no 
one's going to talk me out of it

692
00:51:37,240 --> 00:51:40,160
because he'll do exactly what he
said he'd do, period. 

693
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,160
And I'm not asking you to 
believe because I don't need 

694
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,320
your belief. 
I just need the word myself. 

695
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,040
Now, I would love for you to 
touch and agree with me. 

696
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:54,440
Be awesome, it'd be great, but 
if you choose and you think that

697
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,320
his authority does not extend 
here, then let's don't have a 

698
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:01,680
conversation because I know it 
extends here and I can have his 

699
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,480
will on earth as it is in 
heaven. 

700
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:09,040
Cause all authority. 
All authority over sickness, 

701
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,800
disease, all authority over 
poverty and lack, all authority 

702
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,320
over your mind, all authority 
over any circumstance, situation

703
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,160
you're going on, every 
relationship He has, all 

704
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:23,280
authority. 
If you just go to Him as the 

705
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,440
centurion did, a man out of 
covenant. 

706
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,800
How much more us as believers, 
Lord? 

707
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,040
Lord, that's what I'm going 
through. 

708
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:42,120
What's your word on it? 
Because you have the authority. 

709
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:46,720
Just speak the word only and I 
will believe it. 

710
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,600
Period, He said. 
Well, I haven't heard. 

711
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,480
Well, there's an answer for 
that. 

712
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,240
Keep seeking. 
Why did you get up? 

713
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:02,920
Why are you watching TV? 
Why are you going on vacation? 

714
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:08,400
Why are you going through the 
routines of life if it's that 

715
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,840
bad? 
Why? 

716
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,080
Well, God can do whatever He 
wants to do in heaven. 

717
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:14,800
He's got all thrown. 
If He wants to do it, He'll do 

718
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:15,680
it. 
If you don't, I'm going to love 

719
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:20,120
him anyway. 
And the Lord's like, wow, I do 

720
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,120
want to do it. 
I just want you to ask because I

721
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:24,640
know what you need before you 
even ask. 

722
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,120
But I need you to ask so I can 
tell you, so that you can 

723
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:33,520
declare. 
And I will work with you to 

724
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,400
accomplish My word, because my 
word will not return unto me, 

725
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,280
Boyd, but it shall accomplish 
what that which it was sent to 

726
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:39,880
do. 
Amen.
