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

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

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:15,800
Now enjoy this message. 
Amen. 

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,240
So if you have your Bibles turn 
to Ephesians chapter 2, we're 

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:21,720
going to start in verse one. 
Ephesians chapter 2, we'll start

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,600
in verse one. 
And it says this, and you were 

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,640
dead in your trespasses and 
sins. 

8
00:00:29,020 --> 00:00:32,259
In which you formerly walked 
according to the course of this 

9
00:00:32,259 --> 00:00:35,100
world, according to the Prince 
of the π, the air, the spirit 

10
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:37,940
that's now working in the sons 
of this of disobedience. 

11
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:43,060
Among them it says, we too all 
formerly lived in the lust of 

12
00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:45,540
our flesh, indulging the desires
of the flesh and of the mind, 

13
00:00:45,540 --> 00:00:48,540
and we're by nature children of 
wrath, even as the rest. 

14
00:00:48,540 --> 00:00:51,630
But God say. 
But God, being rich in mercy, 

15
00:00:51,630 --> 00:00:54,670
because of his great love with 
which he loved us even when we 

16
00:00:54,670 --> 00:00:57,150
were dead, and our transgression
made us alive together with 

17
00:00:57,150 --> 00:00:58,910
Christ. 
By grace you have been saved, 

18
00:00:58,910 --> 00:01:02,710
verse 6, and raised us up with 
Him, and seated us with him in 

19
00:01:02,710 --> 00:01:06,470
heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
so that in the ages to come he 

20
00:01:06,470 --> 00:01:09,910
might show the surpassing riches
of His grace and kindness 

21
00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:18,470
towards us in the King Christ 
Jesus, So that in or bought for 

22
00:01:18,470 --> 00:01:22,150
by grace you have been saved 
through faith, and that not of 

23
00:01:22,150 --> 00:01:24,230
yourself. 
It is the gift of God, not as a 

24
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:26,630
result of work, so that no one 
may boast. 

25
00:01:26,830 --> 00:01:30,630
For we are his workmanship, 
created in Christ for good 

26
00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:35,030
works, which God prepared 
beforehand, so that we would 

27
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:37,630
walk in them. 
Now if you go back to the top of

28
00:01:37,630 --> 00:01:40,270
this again, that says you were 
dead in your trespasses in sin, 

29
00:01:40,270 --> 00:01:45,350
verse one in which you formerly 
walked, you used to have a walk.

30
00:01:47,130 --> 00:01:51,170
There was a former walk. 
And I like Paul, he said, now 

31
00:01:51,170 --> 00:01:53,930
listen, that walk is a former 
walk. 

32
00:01:54,650 --> 00:01:58,010
It's not a today walk. 
It's an old walk. 

33
00:01:59,930 --> 00:02:02,370
We're not supposed to walk that 
way anymore. 

34
00:02:02,850 --> 00:02:04,730
It's a former walk. 
Say former. 

35
00:02:05,210 --> 00:02:06,690
That means we don't. 
Walk that way. 

36
00:02:07,090 --> 00:02:12,050
That's not how we walk. 
So grace in your life does not 

37
00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:14,050
authorize you to keep a former 
walk. 

38
00:02:15,860 --> 00:02:19,020
The grace of God was never 
designed to keep you in your 

39
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:22,500
former walk, but allows you to 
go to heaven. 

40
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:25,420
Grace was never designed for 
that. 

41
00:02:26,340 --> 00:02:28,540
Grace was designed to give you a
new walk. 

42
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:33,140
I said give you a new walk. 
So we all had a former walk. 

43
00:02:33,180 --> 00:02:34,820
Well, what did that walk look 
like? 

44
00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:38,040
It was according to the course 
of this world. 

45
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,880
Now that's not planet Earth. 
It's the way the world 

46
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,440
functions. 
It's his ideas. 

47
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,120
IT systems, it's behaviors. 
So again, I don't go to the news

48
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,000
source to determine how I 
respond. 

49
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,880
I don't even go to the doctor to
determine how I respond. 

50
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,480
I don't go to the government to 
determine how I respond. 

51
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,280
I don't go to the education 
system to determine how I 

52
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,200
respond, live or whatever. 
I those those were former ways 

53
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,470
that I used to do. 
I don't go according to the 

54
00:03:05,470 --> 00:03:09,110
course of this world. 
So if the world saying everybody

55
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:14,950
should go this course, you 
should question that then the 

56
00:03:14,950 --> 00:03:17,710
course of this world, he tells 
us its influence was according 

57
00:03:17,710 --> 00:03:19,830
to the Prince of the power of 
the air. 

58
00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:24,280
Now that's not Jesus. 
I said that's not Jesus, that 

59
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Satan who was the God of this 
world are systems. 

60
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,640
Because again, God the Father 
never lost planet earth. 

61
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:38,400
But how you function the 
systems, the the, the lifestyle 

62
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,000
that was supposed to be on 
planet earth was given to man to

63
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,760
to run and he was to do it 
according to the same direction 

64
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,920
that God did in heaven. 
Because in Genesis 126 he said 

65
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,000
let it. 
Let's make man in our image 

66
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,600
according to our lightness and 
let them have dominion. 

67
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,720
Let them rule. 
They're ruling what? 

68
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,800
The things of the earth over the
earth, meaning over the system, 

69
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,360
how the world functions. 
And man was to have dominion. 

70
00:04:11,950 --> 00:04:16,149
But man fell from dominion when 
he ate the fruit that God told 

71
00:04:16,149 --> 00:04:18,470
him not to eat. 
When he ate the fruit, he 

72
00:04:18,470 --> 00:04:22,750
abdicated his throne on earth 
and gave it to the devil. 

73
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:26,310
The Devil in Luke, chapter 4, 
The Temptation of Christ says, 

74
00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:29,390
I'll give you all these kingdoms
in a moment of time, He said. 

75
00:04:29,390 --> 00:04:31,550
I'll give you all these kingdoms
where they've been handed over 

76
00:04:31,550 --> 00:04:33,150
to me and I can give them to 
whoever I wish. 

77
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,680
So the devil received the 
kingdoms of the world by from 

78
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,800
Adam when Adam ate the fruit 
that he was not supposed to eat 

79
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,560
because when he ate the fruit 
that God said commanded him not 

80
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:52,160
to eat sin enter the world are 
rebellion, disobedience, sin 

81
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,880
which its wage is death cause 
sin is simply disobeying. 

82
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,920
And when you disobey God, death 
is to follow. 

83
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,810
Are you hearing me? 
And so we see here that we 

84
00:05:04,810 --> 00:05:07,050
walked according to the course 
of this word, according to the 

85
00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:09,930
Prince of the power, the air of 
the spirit that is now working 

86
00:05:09,930 --> 00:05:13,050
where? 
And the sons of disobedience. 

87
00:05:13,330 --> 00:05:16,010
So every human being on the 
planet. 

88
00:05:16,210 --> 00:05:20,210
Although God originally designed
them to be children of God, not 

89
00:05:20,210 --> 00:05:25,130
all are children of God today. 
Many are the children of the 

90
00:05:25,130 --> 00:05:28,650
devil, and their father is the 
devil. 

91
00:05:29,030 --> 00:05:31,950
In fact, Jesus himself told the 
religious you are of your 

92
00:05:31,950 --> 00:05:34,910
father, the devil. 
He obviously wasn't talking 

93
00:05:34,910 --> 00:05:37,350
about his father. 
He's not saying we're all God's 

94
00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:40,950
loving people. 
What he said is you are in 

95
00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:43,230
rebellion, you're in 
disobedience. 

96
00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:47,550
Your nature is against God, 
against his way of doing, 

97
00:05:47,550 --> 00:05:50,550
against his Kingdom. 
And by all rights, your father 

98
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:53,850
is the devil because he has 
sinned from the beginning. 

99
00:05:54,210 --> 00:05:58,930
He is, He has fallen cherub, He 
is being cast out of heaven's 

100
00:05:58,930 --> 00:06:01,370
realm. 
He is an enemy of God and can 

101
00:06:01,370 --> 00:06:05,490
never be redeemed. 
And so he says you're of those, 

102
00:06:05,730 --> 00:06:08,690
and that spirit works within the
sons of Disobenius. 

103
00:06:08,690 --> 00:06:13,650
And then he allows us to know in
verse three that we all formally

104
00:06:13,650 --> 00:06:17,330
lived this way. 
So when we say walk, what we're 

105
00:06:17,330 --> 00:06:21,030
saying is how we live. 
So when you're saying how do you

106
00:06:21,030 --> 00:06:22,750
walk, you're saying, well, how 
are you living? 

107
00:06:24,030 --> 00:06:26,470
So his implication is in which 
you formerly walked. 

108
00:06:26,470 --> 00:06:28,350
He's saying in which you 
formerly lived. 

109
00:06:28,670 --> 00:06:29,910
Because here we are in verse 
three. 

110
00:06:29,910 --> 00:06:34,310
Among them, we too all formerly 
lived. 

111
00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:39,150
This was how we lived and how do
we live according to the lust of

112
00:06:39,150 --> 00:06:41,430
our flesh. 
Whatever our flesh wanted, we 

113
00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:46,630
wanted to satisfy it. 
We wanted to indulge the desires

114
00:06:46,630 --> 00:06:52,910
of the flesh and of the mind and
we're by nature not children of 

115
00:06:52,910 --> 00:06:57,030
God, but children of wrath, even
as a rest. 

116
00:06:57,030 --> 00:07:01,710
In essence, this verse three, it
could be summed up and all have 

117
00:07:01,710 --> 00:07:05,430
sinned and fallen short of the 
glory of God. 

118
00:07:05,790 --> 00:07:08,230
So Paul lets us know there was a
way. 

119
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:11,430
We used to live our way. 
We used to walk, it is a former 

120
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:13,190
walk. 
Then he gets to verse four and 

121
00:07:13,190 --> 00:07:16,550
he says, but God Now God has to 
do something. 

122
00:07:17,660 --> 00:07:20,260
God has to do something because 
God has said something. 

123
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:25,020
God comes back not because he 
didn't have to, He comes back 

124
00:07:25,020 --> 00:07:28,380
because he has to. 
Because when God said, Let us 

125
00:07:28,380 --> 00:07:31,260
make man in our image according 
to our likeness and let them 

126
00:07:31,260 --> 00:07:34,900
have dominion. 
Now God he we know that is He's 

127
00:07:35,020 --> 00:07:39,180
his word, says that he whatever 
word goes out of his mouth, it 

128
00:07:39,180 --> 00:07:42,100
will not return unto him, boy, 
but it shall accomplish that 

129
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:46,380
which it was sent to do. 
His word always comes to pass. 

130
00:07:46,810 --> 00:07:52,410
So if God is going to have a man
in dominion after Adam eats the 

131
00:07:52,410 --> 00:07:57,010
fruit, then God's obligated at 
his own word to bring a plan of 

132
00:07:57,010 --> 00:08:03,130
redemption because he created 
the condition that man would 

133
00:08:03,130 --> 00:08:06,810
rule like him in the earth. 
God rules in the heavens. 

134
00:08:06,810 --> 00:08:09,450
He would rule on the earth, it 
would be heaven on earth, and 

135
00:08:09,450 --> 00:08:11,690
God would come down in the cool 
of the day and talk with him. 

136
00:08:12,810 --> 00:08:15,890
They're named different, but 
their environments are the same.

137
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,480
Heaven and earth looked exactly 
alike. 

138
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,200
No sin is perfect environments 
and God freely moved through 

139
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,960
there no issues. 
And man freely had relationship 

140
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,640
with him and was not afraid of 
God at all. 

141
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,250
But when Adam ate the fruit, 
things changed and God had to 

142
00:08:38,250 --> 00:08:41,090
come down and he said, Adam, 
where are you now? 

143
00:08:41,090 --> 00:08:43,210
We know that. 
We said this before. 

144
00:08:43,370 --> 00:08:47,330
It's not because Adam was good 
at hide and go seek, covered 

145
00:08:47,330 --> 00:08:49,570
himself with leaves and hiding 
behind trees and the Lord's 

146
00:08:49,570 --> 00:08:51,570
like, wow, you're you're really 
good. 

147
00:08:51,770 --> 00:08:55,770
In fact, while my son and I and 
Pastor Marcy were up in New 

148
00:08:55,770 --> 00:08:58,570
York, or Chase went with us 
because he was our creative team

149
00:08:58,770 --> 00:09:03,180
appointed to document. 
And he showed me a picture of 

150
00:09:03,180 --> 00:09:04,780
Luna. 
Luna had stayed over at a 

151
00:09:04,780 --> 00:09:08,020
friend's house and they were 
playing hide and go seek and she

152
00:09:08,020 --> 00:09:13,300
was above the washing machine 
and dryer in the cabinets that 

153
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:19,060
are up there, hidden. 
They couldn't find it. 

154
00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:24,420
Oh, she got in there. 
Well, I'm sure she had some 

155
00:09:24,420 --> 00:09:25,980
help. 
I don't think she literally gone

156
00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:27,180
there by herself. 
She probably. 

157
00:09:27,710 --> 00:09:30,590
Coerced one of the parents to 
hide her there so that the 

158
00:09:30,590 --> 00:09:32,950
children could not find her. 
And it worked. 

159
00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:35,590
But this isn't God didn't have 
this problem. 

160
00:09:36,110 --> 00:09:38,070
Really. 
What that means is what position

161
00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:41,630
are you in now? 
Because I placed you in dominion

162
00:09:42,190 --> 00:09:46,950
and now you're not in Dominion. 
So that's why God says I'm going

163
00:09:46,950 --> 00:09:49,630
to have to come now. 
But how? 

164
00:09:50,150 --> 00:09:53,910
As a man? 
Because I've given the earth to 

165
00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:57,070
man. 
Psalms 115 and verse 16. 

166
00:09:57,070 --> 00:09:59,390
The highest heavens are the 
Lord, but the earth He is given 

167
00:09:59,390 --> 00:10:01,630
to man, and when God does 
something, he does it. 

168
00:10:02,150 --> 00:10:05,710
And so now this authority has 
been given to his created man 

169
00:10:05,790 --> 00:10:09,350
that was in his image in his 
likeness, a carbon copy of him. 

170
00:10:09,550 --> 00:10:13,390
No sin could rule in this realm 
as God rules in his realm with 

171
00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:16,470
oversight of how he ruled down 
here. 

172
00:10:16,990 --> 00:10:20,710
And when man fell from 
demeaning, God says, well, since

173
00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:23,710
man fell, a man's going to have 
to restore it. 

174
00:10:24,580 --> 00:10:28,540
And so that means I'm going to 
have to come, I'm have to send 

175
00:10:28,540 --> 00:10:32,420
my son in the form of man. 
That's why he said that this 

176
00:10:32,420 --> 00:10:37,660
woman is going to have a child, 
so she's going to be a virgin. 

177
00:10:37,940 --> 00:10:39,300
She's not going to get the help 
of man. 

178
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:43,100
Because Man Seed only produces 
rebellion. 

179
00:10:43,820 --> 00:10:47,700
Because now Adam in his fallen 
state can only produce after his

180
00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:52,640
own kind, and his own kind is 
not godly, so he produces after 

181
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,640
his own kind. 
So God says I'm going to have to

182
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,560
bring a seed of a different 
kind. 

183
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:03,360
So the Holy Spirit comes upon 
Mary and he plants his Son. 

184
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,640
And we know this according to 
Isaiah. 

185
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,400
Chapter 9 verse six says a child
is born, a son is given, the Son

186
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,760
is not born because the Son 
always existed. 

187
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,840
The Son's always been in the 
beginning was the Word, the Word

188
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,080
was with God and the Word was 
God and the Word became flesh. 

189
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,040
And verse 14 of the first 
chapter, John says And that Son 

190
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,150
his name is Jesus, right? 
The word became flesh and we 

191
00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:28,870
beheld his glory. 
That's Jesus Christ. 

192
00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:31,710
This only begotten of the 
Father, It's the Son of God. 

193
00:11:31,870 --> 00:11:34,870
So the sons always existed 
because the words always been 

194
00:11:34,870 --> 00:11:37,670
around. 
And so God clothed the word in 

195
00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:42,350
flesh so he could come and 
restore man, give them the 

196
00:11:42,350 --> 00:11:47,310
opportunity. 
By His grace he enacted an 

197
00:11:47,310 --> 00:11:51,790
amendment to His word and said, 
here's the pathway of escape. 

198
00:11:53,470 --> 00:11:56,790
And the pathway of escape 
requires us to still obey. 

199
00:11:58,350 --> 00:12:02,830
Now we could have never been 
right with God any other way. 

200
00:12:03,790 --> 00:12:06,510
No matter how good we live, we 
were not going to be living 

201
00:12:06,510 --> 00:12:08,630
called by nature. 
We're children of wrath. 

202
00:12:09,550 --> 00:12:15,070
But God being rich in His mercy 
since Jesus who became sin, 

203
00:12:15,070 --> 00:12:18,990
although he never sinned, He was
a man who knew no sin. 

204
00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:23,420
He never said he was the perfect
sacrifice so that we when we 

205
00:12:23,420 --> 00:12:28,700
call on his name can be born 
again or born from above, 

206
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:34,180
meaning we get a new nature that
now is of God now the last way. 

207
00:12:34,180 --> 00:12:37,500
So God being rich in his mercy 
because of his great love, then 

208
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:39,980
he gets down and tells us, you 
know again, it's by grace 

209
00:12:39,980 --> 00:12:43,980
through face or grace don't work
and let's face in operation and 

210
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:46,460
it says not a result of works, 
meaning we couldn't have done it

211
00:12:46,460 --> 00:12:48,180
without the finished work of 
Jesus. 

212
00:12:48,180 --> 00:12:52,270
But we have to call on the name.
We have to believe in our heart,

213
00:12:52,590 --> 00:12:55,230
confess with our mouth. 
Jesus Christ, Lord, we have to 

214
00:12:55,230 --> 00:13:01,350
believe that Jesus came, He died
on the third day, was raised 

215
00:13:01,350 --> 00:13:04,110
from the dead. 
His blood was enough to forgive 

216
00:13:04,110 --> 00:13:07,510
us of all of our sin. 
We confess that we are sinners, 

217
00:13:07,510 --> 00:13:09,110
although we cannot confess all 
of our. 

218
00:13:10,110 --> 00:13:12,870
We know that we are. 
We know we're in rebellion and 

219
00:13:12,870 --> 00:13:17,780
we say Jesus, we make you Lord. 
And when we make him Lord, then 

220
00:13:17,780 --> 00:13:21,660
the Spirit that was in us dead 
gets evicted out of this skin 

221
00:13:21,660 --> 00:13:25,660
suit and a new one comes on the 
inside and it's in the likeness 

222
00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:28,940
of God. 
It's in Christ, which means it 

223
00:13:28,940 --> 00:13:33,500
doesn't sin because Jesus 
doesn't sin. 

224
00:13:33,780 --> 00:13:35,860
And then the Holy Spirit moves 
in. 

225
00:13:35,860 --> 00:13:36,860
Can I get it? 
Amen. 

226
00:13:37,980 --> 00:13:42,500
The third person of the God had 
moves in with us and speaks to 

227
00:13:42,580 --> 00:13:47,940
our spirit and now it's our 
responsibility to hear what the 

228
00:13:47,940 --> 00:13:51,780
spirit is saying to our spirit 
and change the way we think. 

229
00:13:52,420 --> 00:13:56,220
That's why Jesus said when he 
preached publicly repent, which 

230
00:13:56,220 --> 00:13:58,260
is not a religious word, it just
means change. 

231
00:13:58,260 --> 00:14:02,900
Your thinking for the Kingdom of
God is at hand so when we get 

232
00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:06,580
born again we can hear from 
heaven and now we have the 

233
00:14:06,580 --> 00:14:12,420
capacity to live godly in a lost
and dying world. 

234
00:14:12,460 --> 00:14:15,160
Doesn't matter, right. 
And when I say lost and die, I'm

235
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,600
just saying a system that's here
that will be evicted because the

236
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,400
earth is going to remain. 
I said the earth is going to 

237
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:22,680
remain. 
It just be a new earth. 

238
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,240
Got to clean it up. 
So by the time we get then to 

239
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,360
Burt let me just get back up to 
verse a four. 

240
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,840
By grace, you have been saved 
through faith and not of 

241
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,200
yourself. 
Is a gift of God. 

242
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:38,240
That means God did the work that
opened an amendment of God as 

243
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,160
the king. 
He has a word and now here's how

244
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:47,240
you get out of the condemnation 
or the sentence of death except 

245
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,240
Jesus, because Jesus actually 
paid the price for the death. 

246
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,400
Death doesn't escape. 
It's not like death didn't dealt

247
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,680
with. 
Jesus's blood deals with the 

248
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,920
payment. 
So when God Forgives you, it's 

249
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,840
not like he just forgave. 
He can forgive because the debts

250
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:14,950
been settled. 
God did the work to settle the 

251
00:15:14,950 --> 00:15:17,310
debt. 
It's not like because again, if 

252
00:15:17,310 --> 00:15:20,430
God just could say I forgive 
you, then why didn't he come 

253
00:15:20,430 --> 00:15:21,870
down after Adam 8 the fruit? 
He said. 

254
00:15:21,870 --> 00:15:24,870
Where are you? 
Well, you know, we heard you 

255
00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:30,030
coming and we hit ourselves 
because we were naked, you know,

256
00:15:30,030 --> 00:15:31,790
we were afraid. 
So we hit ourselves because we 

257
00:15:31,790 --> 00:15:33,230
were naked, he said. 
Who told you were naked? 

258
00:15:33,230 --> 00:15:34,550
Did you eat the fruit? 
I told you not to eat. 

259
00:15:35,990 --> 00:15:39,050
And he could have said, Well, 
son, I'll forgive you. 

260
00:15:41,330 --> 00:15:48,090
And this is what how we treat 
love. 

261
00:15:49,130 --> 00:15:51,250
Well, I forgive you. 
No, no, no, no, no. 

262
00:15:51,410 --> 00:15:55,810
Some's got to be paid. 
Because if all we could just do 

263
00:15:55,810 --> 00:16:02,970
is say I forgive you, well, then
God could have done that. 

264
00:16:02,970 --> 00:16:04,090
But God couldn't do that. 
Why? 

265
00:16:04,090 --> 00:16:06,290
Because. 
Death's here now. 

266
00:16:06,290 --> 00:16:11,010
We got to pay for that. 
Now God will forgive you because

267
00:16:11,010 --> 00:16:14,490
he settled the debt. 
Now the debts been paid. 

268
00:16:14,570 --> 00:16:16,690
So why can we forgive people? 
Easy. 

269
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:21,290
Because the debts there, I mean.
I mean, the payment for the debt

270
00:16:21,290 --> 00:16:23,330
is there. 
I mean, how am I going to hold 

271
00:16:23,330 --> 00:16:26,810
you an account when he's already
settled the account? 

272
00:16:27,370 --> 00:16:29,850
And if you ask me to forgive 
you, well, I don't need a 

273
00:16:29,850 --> 00:16:31,970
payment from you. 
Christ is the payment. 

274
00:16:33,210 --> 00:16:36,250
Are you hearing me? 
But that didn't work with God. 

275
00:16:36,530 --> 00:16:40,690
God had to make payment and it 
took his blood from his own son.

276
00:16:41,010 --> 00:16:43,370
So again, that's don't cheapen 
forgiveness. 

277
00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:46,090
Sometimes I might need to say, 
you know I can. 

278
00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:48,970
I'll forgive you because Jesus's
blood paid the price. 

279
00:16:48,970 --> 00:16:53,090
For me to do this because a lot 
of times we'll we'll flippantly 

280
00:16:53,090 --> 00:16:56,090
just constantly make mistakes 
and they're like, well, you got 

281
00:16:56,090 --> 00:16:58,250
to forgive me. 
Well man, how many mistakes you 

282
00:16:58,250 --> 00:17:00,810
want to keep making so that the 
blood's being applied to your 

283
00:17:00,810 --> 00:17:03,930
situation? 
I mean, the blood works, don't 

284
00:17:03,930 --> 00:17:07,660
get me wrong, but let's just 
don't flippantly, you know, 

285
00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:11,900
treat the blood of no value like
you know, we can just get away. 

286
00:17:12,020 --> 00:17:14,819
Because again, you're now 
walking formerly. 

287
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:21,020
So for my grace you've been 
saved through faith. 

288
00:17:21,020 --> 00:17:23,099
It's not a work of yourself. 
It's a gift of God, not as a 

289
00:17:23,099 --> 00:17:25,460
result of works. 
So that no one may boast. 

290
00:17:25,460 --> 00:17:27,579
But look at this first ten. 
I'm going to send her in here 

291
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:32,140
for we are his workmanship. 
OK. 

292
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:35,940
Created in Christ for that's 
purpose. 

293
00:17:36,860 --> 00:17:39,100
So why were you created in 
Christ? 

294
00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:41,700
For us to go to heaven when we 
die? 

295
00:17:42,380 --> 00:17:44,900
Is that what it says? 
There does not say that. 

296
00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:46,940
So why are we selling Jesus this
way? 

297
00:17:47,340 --> 00:17:49,980
Why are we selling Jesus? 
Will Jesus die so that when you 

298
00:17:50,180 --> 00:17:52,500
so that if you accept him when 
you die, you get to go to 

299
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:55,700
heaven. 
God did not create you in Christ

300
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:58,260
to go to heaven. 
Now will you go to heaven when 

301
00:17:58,260 --> 00:18:00,660
you die? 
Sure to be absent from the body.

302
00:18:00,660 --> 00:18:03,500
Be present with the Lord. 
Where is the Lord right now? 

303
00:18:03,780 --> 00:18:05,740
He's in heaven. 
But what if he was down here? 

304
00:18:09,110 --> 00:18:15,230
I mean, cuz he's coming back, 
but at the end of the day, we're

305
00:18:15,230 --> 00:18:20,030
created in Christ or we're born 
again for good works. 

306
00:18:21,630 --> 00:18:25,320
So you're created to do works, 
but again, it's not work. 

307
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,200
So that you get your right with 
God, or that God, you know, can 

308
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,480
say, OK, you know you're right 
with me and you you earned it 

309
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,840
now. 
No, it's I am now actually good.

310
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,160
My spirit was bad, and all it 
could do is produce bad fruit, 

311
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,840
'cause a bad tree bears bad 
fruit. 

312
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,960
But now I'm a good tree because 
I got a good spirit. 

313
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,520
It's in Christ. 
And now I get to bear good 

314
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,350
fruit. 
I'm not good just to be good. 

315
00:18:54,350 --> 00:18:57,030
I'm. 
I'm good to bear good fruit. 

316
00:18:57,190 --> 00:19:01,270
And fruit takes work. 
Now work is just simply 

317
00:19:01,270 --> 00:19:04,830
obedience. 
So we're created in Christ for 

318
00:19:04,830 --> 00:19:08,750
good works which got prepared 
hand before prepared beforehand 

319
00:19:08,750 --> 00:19:11,950
so that we would what? 
Walk in them. 

320
00:19:12,070 --> 00:19:14,310
Walk means to live. 
So in essence, he's saying, 

321
00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:16,430
listen, the reason you're born 
again is so you'll walk 

322
00:19:17,230 --> 00:19:19,550
differently. 
You got a new walk now. 

323
00:19:19,550 --> 00:19:23,970
A new life. 
We have a new life. 

324
00:19:24,410 --> 00:19:29,130
Well, a new life begets a new 
behavior, begets new thinking, 

325
00:19:31,610 --> 00:19:36,490
begets a new attitude, begets 
new reasoning. 

326
00:19:39,450 --> 00:19:41,970
But we have to walk in. 
And I love the word walk, 

327
00:19:41,970 --> 00:19:43,890
because at the end of the day, 
nobody can make you walk but 

328
00:19:43,890 --> 00:19:48,050
you, just like God himself 
cannot make you get born again, 

329
00:19:48,770 --> 00:19:53,080
although He's provided the way. 
It requires you to walk that 

330
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,200
out. 
You to act on the word in 

331
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:02,240
obedience by faith to pull 
salvation to your skin. 

332
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,320
Suit so that you. 
Get born again. 

333
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,520
Same thing to be baptized in the
Spirit. 

334
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,640
Same thing to be healed. 
Same thing to prosper. 

335
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:13,040
Same thing to fulfill God's 
plan. 

336
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,640
Because God is not pushing you 
alone. 

337
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:22,000
He's not dragging you alone. 
He's saying come follow me, OK? 

338
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,280
So there are four points. 
Then I want to talk about in 

339
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,400
this new walk 'cause if you're 
gonna walk new, the Bible 

340
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,760
actually tells us how to walk 
because he already gave us in 

341
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,920
Ephesians our former walk. 
Now he wants to talk about the 

342
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,800
new walk. 
And when we look at this new 

343
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,080
walk, there's a former one that 
he mentions each time he said, 

344
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,560
now this is our new walk. 
Here was your former. 

345
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,310
This is your new Amen. 
So we want to walk in the new 

346
00:20:49,310 --> 00:20:51,470
one. 
That means we live this way. 

347
00:20:51,590 --> 00:20:53,550
This is how we live. 
It's like breathing. 

348
00:20:53,550 --> 00:20:58,350
This is just what we do. 
It shouldn't be surprising for 

349
00:20:58,350 --> 00:21:02,270
us to live this way. 
Are you hearing me? 

350
00:21:03,150 --> 00:21:05,990
Praise the Lord. 
It shouldn't be surprising for 

351
00:21:05,990 --> 00:21:08,430
us to do this. 
So look at this first one. 

352
00:21:08,430 --> 00:21:10,590
It's an Ephesians chapter 5 
verse one. 

353
00:21:11,030 --> 00:21:14,990
It'd be one through 7 and #1. 
The first way to walk is to walk

354
00:21:14,990 --> 00:21:17,720
in love. 
Because up to this point you 

355
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,360
could not walk in love at all. 
Now that doesn't mean you were 

356
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:26,040
walking in hate, because hate is
not the opposite of love. 

357
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:35,000
Lust is not hate because God who
is love, hates some things. 

358
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,640
Love or the love of God can hate
some things. 

359
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:47,370
So please do not confuse hate. 
As bad I'm. 

360
00:21:47,690 --> 00:21:51,530
Going to say that again, do not 
confuse hate as bad, because if 

361
00:21:51,530 --> 00:21:56,730
hate is tied to love, it's good.
But if hate is tied to lust, 

362
00:21:57,370 --> 00:21:59,850
it's bad because lust is bad all
the time. 

363
00:22:02,010 --> 00:22:06,210
All right. 
So if he's in chapter 5 verse 

364
00:22:06,210 --> 00:22:08,650
one, it says therefore be 
imitators of God. 

365
00:22:08,650 --> 00:22:11,410
Boy, that statement right there 
along should make you just go to

366
00:22:11,410 --> 00:22:16,350
your knees. 
So now be imitators of God. 

367
00:22:16,630 --> 00:22:18,830
You know how many people. 
We're not God yet. 

368
00:22:18,830 --> 00:22:23,750
Paul, under the inspiration of 
the Holy Ghost, says Be 

369
00:22:23,750 --> 00:22:26,990
imitators of him. 
Imitate him. 

370
00:22:27,230 --> 00:22:29,790
Have you ever been to a place 
where someone can imitate 

371
00:22:29,790 --> 00:22:32,790
another person's voice? 
It sounds like it's just like 

372
00:22:32,790 --> 00:22:34,270
them. 
In fact, my life and I went our 

373
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:39,070
little anniversary cruise funny.
The guy that was there actually 

374
00:22:39,070 --> 00:22:42,770
used to be a soap opera star and
bold and the beautiful. 

375
00:22:42,770 --> 00:22:44,890
I can't tell you who he is 
because I never watched the soap

376
00:22:44,890 --> 00:22:50,330
opera, but he was there and he 
was doing impersonations. 

377
00:22:51,010 --> 00:22:55,010
Now, any modern day 
impersonation, he did not do a 

378
00:22:55,010 --> 00:22:56,370
good job. 
That's why he's. 

379
00:22:56,370 --> 00:22:58,010
On the cruise ship, you 
understand? 

380
00:22:58,650 --> 00:23:03,690
All right, no problem. 
But anything that was older? 

381
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:09,300
I mean, I'm talking like, you 
know, 30s, forties, 50s. 

382
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:12,980
I'm not saying he was that old 
he was born, but he obviously 

383
00:23:13,260 --> 00:23:17,780
was around that as a kid. 
Those shows, man, he could not 

384
00:23:17,780 --> 00:23:20,260
those voices out really. 
Well, you're like, wow, he 

385
00:23:20,260 --> 00:23:25,500
sounds just, he was imitating 
their voice, OK, And here we are

386
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:29,540
to imitate the imitators of God 
as beloved children. 

387
00:23:29,620 --> 00:23:33,580
So God expects his kids to 
imitate him. 

388
00:23:35,270 --> 00:23:39,550
He doesn't expect his kids to be
sorry, center saved by grace, to

389
00:23:39,550 --> 00:23:42,430
act like the rest of the world. 
But at least they've asked him 

390
00:23:42,430 --> 00:23:44,630
into their heart and he's like, 
well, hold on. 

391
00:23:44,630 --> 00:23:47,190
Praise God, you're pathetic. 
Anyway, You're unworthy. 

392
00:23:47,190 --> 00:23:49,030
You're nondeserving. 
You know? 

393
00:23:49,030 --> 00:23:50,270
I mean, I just, you know, it's 
just a. 

394
00:23:50,270 --> 00:23:54,310
Good thing I saved you. 
That's not the attitude here at 

395
00:23:54,310 --> 00:23:56,150
all. 
That's religion. 

396
00:23:56,990 --> 00:23:59,190
That is a lack of 
responsibility. 

397
00:23:59,270 --> 00:24:02,070
That is, not knowing who you are
in Christ. 

398
00:24:03,890 --> 00:24:10,010
That's walking a former life and
trying to say God's got you 

399
00:24:10,010 --> 00:24:16,290
covered all right. 
Just because you couldn't do 

400
00:24:16,290 --> 00:24:19,170
anything to be right with God, 
the minute God did everything to

401
00:24:19,170 --> 00:24:22,770
make you right with him has now 
empowered you to be an imitator 

402
00:24:23,770 --> 00:24:27,080
so you can't imitate. 
I said you can't imitate. 

403
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,520
And they've ever been around. 
Those who don't want to imitate,

404
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,320
they get mad at those who are 
imitating and doing a real good 

405
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,680
imitation. 
But then it was like, well, you 

406
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,760
could do this too. 
Then they get all upset and then

407
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,720
they're trying to try to find a 
fault in your imitation. 

408
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,320
Instead of saying you're doing a
much better job at me than I am,

409
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,800
can you teach me? 
Alright, therefore be imitators 

410
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,800
of God as beloved children and 
walk in love. 

411
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,400
So the number one is walk in 
love. 

412
00:24:54,220 --> 00:24:57,300
Now again, you can't pick up the
religious definition of love, 

413
00:24:57,780 --> 00:24:59,380
nor the world's definition of 
love. 

414
00:24:59,380 --> 00:25:01,380
Love is love. 
That is a world definition, 

415
00:25:01,380 --> 00:25:03,820
which many make sense. 
Love is love. 

416
00:25:03,820 --> 00:25:07,500
Well, what's that mean? 
What does that mean? 

417
00:25:07,580 --> 00:25:09,100
Love is love. 
What's that mean? 

418
00:25:09,660 --> 00:25:12,860
That doesn't make sense. 
Yet people pick it up. 

419
00:25:12,860 --> 00:25:14,100
Well, you know, we got a walk in
love one. 

420
00:25:14,140 --> 00:25:20,420
What does that mean? 
Because the world and the the 

421
00:25:20,420 --> 00:25:23,620
religious church's definition of
love is acceptance. 

422
00:25:24,100 --> 00:25:25,620
You know and God don't accept 
stuff. 

423
00:25:27,580 --> 00:25:33,060
Love does not accept everything.
Love creates a condition so that

424
00:25:33,060 --> 00:25:38,620
all can walk in love means they 
can walk out the word. 

425
00:25:39,380 --> 00:25:42,620
So he says walk in love. 
Just as Christ also loved you 

426
00:25:43,140 --> 00:25:47,380
and look what he did and gave 
himself up for us and offering 

427
00:25:47,380 --> 00:25:49,660
in a sacrifice to God as a 
frequent aroma. 

428
00:25:49,660 --> 00:25:51,180
So walk in love. 
How? 

429
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:53,450
Just as. 
Cry. 

430
00:25:53,450 --> 00:25:57,610
Here's our imitation. 
Christ laid down how he wanted 

431
00:25:57,610 --> 00:26:01,370
to do it and only did it like 
the Father instructed. 

432
00:26:01,730 --> 00:26:08,450
Jesus said this so clearly in in
multiple gospels of the four 

433
00:26:08,450 --> 00:26:11,410
gospel he said I do nothing on 
my own initiative. 

434
00:26:11,770 --> 00:26:15,570
Whatever I say or what I speak 
or what I do, I have first heard

435
00:26:15,570 --> 00:26:18,650
from the Father. 
In essence, walking in love is 

436
00:26:18,650 --> 00:26:24,320
doing what God says. 
As I said to you before, Adam is

437
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,760
made in the image of God, 
correct? 

438
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,800
Let us make man in our image 
according to our likeness and 

439
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,320
let them have demean over the 
fish, the sea, yada yada yada, 

440
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,120
right? 
Then he takes man at male and 

441
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:37,200
female, puts them in the garden.
They're like God, no sin. 

442
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,680
Do they love God now? 
You would assume that they do 

443
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,480
just because they're in his 
nature. 

444
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:51,280
Yet they're the nature alone 
doesn't prove that they love 

445
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,680
him. 
There's only one way to prove 

446
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:03,040
that Adam loves God. 
He has to put an obedience 

447
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,600
factor in. 
It's the only way. 

448
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,360
Love cannot be determined any 
other way. 

449
00:27:12,170 --> 00:27:15,210
So he places a tree in the 
middle of the garden called the 

450
00:27:15,210 --> 00:27:17,930
Knowledge of Good and Evil. 
When he says, Adam, you can eat 

451
00:27:17,930 --> 00:27:21,850
from all the other trees, I 
mean, everything's yours, man, 

452
00:27:21,850 --> 00:27:24,890
in this amazing. 
But the tree of the knowledge of

453
00:27:24,890 --> 00:27:27,050
good and evil you shall not eat,
for the day you eat you will 

454
00:27:27,050 --> 00:27:35,170
surely die. 
And as long as he doesn't need 

455
00:27:35,170 --> 00:27:37,810
it, what does he prove? 
I love you. 

456
00:27:38,950 --> 00:27:41,230
Now how do we know this? 
Because Jesus himself said this.

457
00:27:41,510 --> 00:27:43,990
Religion says, well, just love 
everybody. 

458
00:27:44,110 --> 00:27:49,190
But Jesus defines love. 
And John, he says if you love me

459
00:27:50,150 --> 00:27:53,230
you will keep my word. 
It does not say if you love me, 

460
00:27:53,230 --> 00:28:00,070
you tell me. 
So let me do a little husband 

461
00:28:00,070 --> 00:28:01,230
and wife real quick. 
You ready? 

462
00:28:02,110 --> 00:28:05,190
If you love each other, at some 
point you're going to do what 

463
00:28:05,190 --> 00:28:12,480
each other says. 
Because it's proving it. 

464
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,200
Because how many times have I 
been around a wife or a husband?

465
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,600
They say they love me, but they 
never do anything. 

466
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,200
I asked. 
I asked if they could do this, 

467
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,600
could do that, and they never do
it. 

468
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:26,480
Same thing with your children. 
Well, I know my kids love. 

469
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:32,560
Do they obey you? 
Because Jesus did not qualify 

470
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,920
love with just. 
You're born of the family. 

471
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:39,510
OK? 
Jesus did not qualify. 

472
00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:41,950
Love is because you're of the 
family. 

473
00:28:42,350 --> 00:28:43,310
Because you're of the family, 
Man. 

474
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:44,990
I just love you anyway, no 
matter what you do. 

475
00:28:45,430 --> 00:28:48,510
It's not what it says. 
So we're going to walk in love. 

476
00:28:48,510 --> 00:28:51,710
Then we're going to have to be 
people who are really good at 

477
00:28:51,710 --> 00:28:54,430
being obedient to God's word for
our lives. 

478
00:28:55,190 --> 00:28:57,710
And Jesus did this. 
Then it says verse 3. 

479
00:28:57,790 --> 00:29:02,790
But immorality and impurity and 
greed must never even be named 

480
00:29:02,790 --> 00:29:05,430
among you, as is proper among 
Saints. 

481
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:13,440
Now that's old walk. 
The verse 3 is not walk in love,

482
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,960
it's walk in lust. 
So verse three saying now you 

483
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,600
used to walk in lust, but now 
you're supposed to walk in love 

484
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,400
and there must be no filthiness 
or silly talk or coarse 

485
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:31,800
gesturing, gesting, which is not
fitting but rather giving of 

486
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,360
thanks for this you know with 
certainty. 

487
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,600
I said with certainty that no 
immoral or impure person or 

488
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,800
covetous man who is an idolater,
has an inheritance in the 

489
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:51,160
Kingdom of Christ and God. 
Let no one deceive you with 

490
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,600
empty words, for because of 
these things the wrath of God 

491
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,680
comes upon the sins of sons of 
disobedience. 

492
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,720
Therefore, do not be partakers 
with them. 

493
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,680
So what's he saying? 
He says listen, you can't live 

494
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:09,320
your former life and say you're 
walking and loving God's love is

495
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:14,840
with you and sure, don't let 
somebody tell you that you can 

496
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,920
do that and God's OK with it, he
said That's deception. 

497
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,200
In fact, he reminds us, he says 
listen, nobody that does these 

498
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,640
things will inherit the Kingdom 
of God. 

499
00:30:27,030 --> 00:30:28,750
I don't care if they're walking 
around saying I have. 

500
00:30:28,750 --> 00:30:30,190
She's to come to my heart and 
save me. 

501
00:30:30,270 --> 00:30:32,310
I'm a child of God. 
I know I'm going to go to heaven

502
00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:35,630
when I die, but they live an 
immoral, A lustful life. 

503
00:30:35,750 --> 00:30:42,390
They walk according to the lust.
It's not going to. 

504
00:30:42,390 --> 00:30:44,230
Happen now again. 
What do people say? 

505
00:30:44,230 --> 00:30:46,510
Well now, brother, you're saying
this is my works. 

506
00:30:46,870 --> 00:30:50,070
It is. 
It's a good work that Christ 

507
00:30:50,070 --> 00:30:55,310
gave you a new spirit and put 
His spirit on the inside of you.

508
00:30:55,900 --> 00:31:00,860
So he expects you to walk it. 
You have no excuse not to put 

509
00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:05,220
away sexual immorality and put 
away course judge our dirty 

510
00:31:05,220 --> 00:31:12,860
talk, cussing, dirty jokes, he 
said. 

511
00:31:12,860 --> 00:31:16,180
You got to put that away. 
You can't be womanizing and 

512
00:31:16,180 --> 00:31:17,620
saying you getting in the 
Kingdom. 

513
00:31:19,260 --> 00:31:23,220
You can't be hustling around and
think you right. 

514
00:31:24,510 --> 00:31:27,990
And don't let no preacher get up
there and tell you you good. 

515
00:31:29,990 --> 00:31:32,070
In fact, I'm telling you what 
the Holy Ghost is doing. 

516
00:31:32,070 --> 00:31:40,190
Every time you do it, you feel 
condemned because the Holy Ghost

517
00:31:40,190 --> 00:31:43,870
would be like, hey, what's up? 
What's up with you? 

518
00:31:46,390 --> 00:31:47,790
Jesus delivers you from this, 
bro. 

519
00:31:48,910 --> 00:31:52,180
Get it together. 
Don't tell me it's hard. 

520
00:31:52,180 --> 00:31:54,620
We can clean this mind up. 
You keep choosing this stuff. 

521
00:31:56,260 --> 00:31:57,900
I got power up on the inside of 
you. 

522
00:32:00,020 --> 00:32:03,020
We free you from all this stuff.
Just walk in love. 

523
00:32:03,340 --> 00:32:05,860
How do you walk in love? 
You walk according to what God 

524
00:32:05,860 --> 00:32:09,060
says concerning that. 
That's walking in love. 

525
00:32:09,340 --> 00:32:11,060
If you love me, you'll keep my 
command. 

526
00:32:11,060 --> 00:32:14,340
So walking in love is keeping 
his, keeping his word. 

527
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,520
Because Jesus did it. 
Just as Jesus laid down his life

528
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,920
and only do what the Father 
says, so how do we walk in love?

529
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:27,160
We just keep His word. 
Hallelujah. 

530
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,720
Let me read a couple of these 
verses out of the Passion. 

531
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,320
Translation from verse four or 
verse three, he says, and have 

532
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,840
nothing to do with sexual 
immorality, lust or greed. 

533
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,600
For you are His holy ones. 
He says guard your or he says 

534
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,560
and let no one be able to accuse
you. 

535
00:32:44,810 --> 00:32:49,490
Of of them in any form, he said.
Guard your speech. 

536
00:32:51,010 --> 00:32:53,850
Forsake obscenities and 
worthless insults. 

537
00:32:54,250 --> 00:32:59,010
These are nonsensical words that
bring disgrace and and are 

538
00:32:59,010 --> 00:33:01,370
unnecessary. 
Instead, let worship fill your 

539
00:33:01,370 --> 00:33:04,010
heart and spill out in your 
words. 

540
00:33:05,180 --> 00:33:07,780
He says for you. 
For it has been made clear to 

541
00:33:07,780 --> 00:33:11,340
you already that the Kingdom of 
God cannot be accessed by anyone

542
00:33:11,340 --> 00:33:14,700
who is guilty of sexual sin or 
who is impure or greedy. 

543
00:33:14,700 --> 00:33:18,340
For greed is is the essence of 
idolatry. 

544
00:33:18,460 --> 00:33:21,260
So again, we say idolatry. 
Oh, I'm not worshipping an idol.

545
00:33:21,260 --> 00:33:23,180
Well, if you're worshipping 
money, you are. 

546
00:33:23,820 --> 00:33:26,900
If you can go to work more than 
you can go to church, you are. 

547
00:33:27,780 --> 00:33:31,780
If you can go to work and and 
and do the ball games and all 

548
00:33:31,780 --> 00:33:33,740
this and can't read the Bible, 
you are. 

549
00:33:36,180 --> 00:33:41,660
He goes on and says this. 
He says how could they expect to

550
00:33:41,660 --> 00:33:45,100
have an inheritance in Christ's 
Kingdom while doing those 

551
00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:47,860
things? 
He said don't be fooled by those

552
00:33:47,860 --> 00:33:51,500
who speak with their empty words
and deceptive teachings telling 

553
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:55,300
you otherwise. 
This is what brings God's anger 

554
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:58,940
upon the rebellious. 
Now I've told you before and 

555
00:33:58,940 --> 00:34:01,420
you've seen billboards that says
God's not angry with you. 

556
00:34:01,890 --> 00:34:06,690
God is angry with the rebellious
and if you are in the rebellious

557
00:34:06,690 --> 00:34:10,090
category, raft is being stored 
up for them. 

558
00:34:11,730 --> 00:34:15,290
So it's a lie to say God's not 
angry with sin. 

559
00:34:17,330 --> 00:34:20,090
So again, how can you call 
yourself a Sinner saved by 

560
00:34:20,090 --> 00:34:23,730
grace? 
Because God's angry with sin. 

561
00:34:24,330 --> 00:34:26,810
And again what do we say? 
Well you know God hates the sin 

562
00:34:26,810 --> 00:34:29,929
but loves the Sinner. 
Well, how do you differentiate 

563
00:34:29,929 --> 00:34:32,940
between sin and the Sinner? 
And if you're calling them a 

564
00:34:32,940 --> 00:34:34,100
Sinner, then they must be in 
sin. 

565
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:39,060
You don't want to hear this. 
God makes provision for the 

566
00:34:39,060 --> 00:34:44,100
human spirit to be delivered out
of disobedience. 

567
00:34:44,380 --> 00:34:47,659
So make no mistake about it, Not
only does he hate sin, but he 

568
00:34:47,659 --> 00:34:52,860
hates the one practicing it. 
And what really aggravates him 

569
00:34:52,860 --> 00:34:55,699
is that he knows they don't have
to stay there. 

570
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:05,060
Now God is ever present to 
welcome them in. 

571
00:35:05,220 --> 00:35:09,460
So when I say he's angry, it's 
not like he's mad to the point I

572
00:35:09,460 --> 00:35:10,660
ain't going to do nothing for 
you. 

573
00:35:11,260 --> 00:35:14,940
He's like, gosh, I can't. 
Come on, give what they're 

574
00:35:14,940 --> 00:35:17,420
saying. 
I sent somebody by your path to 

575
00:35:17,420 --> 00:35:20,620
tell you how to be free. 
Come on, get this thing. 

576
00:35:21,020 --> 00:35:24,940
It's that kind of anger. 
It's this anger, this, this hope

577
00:35:25,060 --> 00:35:27,860
that's like, seriously, get this
thing, man. 

578
00:35:28,060 --> 00:35:29,980
I laid down my life. 
So you don't have to be there 

579
00:35:29,980 --> 00:35:31,500
anymore. 
Come on, man. 

580
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:36,700
Get this thing. 
Because if you don't get it, 

581
00:35:39,180 --> 00:35:43,220
I'll have to judge you. 
I'll have to sit at you 

582
00:35:43,220 --> 00:35:45,740
eternally. 
Come on, get this. 

583
00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:52,580
God's not going, brother. 
I just love you anyway. 

584
00:35:56,100 --> 00:35:59,580
It's not right. 
That's not right. 

585
00:36:00,860 --> 00:36:02,180
So. 
Well, God loved me when I was in

586
00:36:02,260 --> 00:36:03,300
you. 
Betty loved you. 

587
00:36:03,420 --> 00:36:07,020
He provided a way out. 
He sure did. 

588
00:36:07,950 --> 00:36:10,470
Loved you so much that he 
provided a way out. 

589
00:36:10,830 --> 00:36:12,630
He did not. 
Look at what you were doing and 

590
00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:13,630
saying, bro. 
They deserve it. 

591
00:36:13,630 --> 00:36:15,350
I ain't doing Jack for them. 
No, he said. 

592
00:36:15,350 --> 00:36:17,910
Lord, you said you were going to
have a Dominion man, and I'll 

593
00:36:17,910 --> 00:36:20,870
put myself in the position so a 
man can come back into Dominion.

594
00:36:21,030 --> 00:36:23,070
And even though they don't 
deserve for me to do this 

595
00:36:23,070 --> 00:36:25,910
because they fail, I'm going to 
do it according to your word. 

596
00:36:26,390 --> 00:36:28,310
Now it's up to them to want to 
get back. 

597
00:36:28,350 --> 00:36:30,070
And I know you want him to get 
back. 

598
00:36:30,190 --> 00:36:33,030
That's why you keep sending 
people by to talk to him about 

599
00:36:33,030 --> 00:36:37,590
how to get on the path, how to 
walk the narrow path, how to 

600
00:36:37,590 --> 00:36:44,670
come through the door. 
Are y'all hearing me Hallelujah.

601
00:36:46,230 --> 00:36:51,030
So don't be fooled. 
Please do not be walking around 

602
00:36:51,030 --> 00:36:54,150
like the world and act like you 
good with God. 

603
00:36:58,030 --> 00:37:00,390
Now, I'm not saying that if 
you're doing all this and you 

604
00:37:00,390 --> 00:37:02,030
drop. 
Dead God's like, I can't let you

605
00:37:02,030 --> 00:37:03,570
in. 
I'm saying if you're a 

606
00:37:03,570 --> 00:37:05,090
practicer, you may be at more 
risk. 

607
00:37:05,090 --> 00:37:11,650
And you think because nowhere in
scripture doesn't say once 

608
00:37:11,650 --> 00:37:13,170
you're saved, you're always 
saved. 

609
00:37:13,970 --> 00:37:19,610
Doesn't say that at all, because
if you could always be saved, 

610
00:37:19,610 --> 00:37:22,290
then how in the world could Adam
had fallen out? 

611
00:37:24,530 --> 00:37:29,690
He was perfect without sin. 
It's because he let it go. 

612
00:37:33,340 --> 00:37:35,100
Amen. 
God's merciful. 

613
00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:37,540
Don't get me wrong. 
People can be on a very back 

614
00:37:37,540 --> 00:37:39,060
sledding course. 
I get it. 

615
00:37:39,820 --> 00:37:42,100
And God's merciful and pull them
around. 

616
00:37:42,100 --> 00:37:43,700
And many of you had testimonies,
man. 

617
00:37:43,700 --> 00:37:45,460
I knew God when I was young. 
And then I got off. 

618
00:37:45,460 --> 00:37:47,500
I was. 
But God kept pursuing me and 

619
00:37:47,500 --> 00:37:49,580
kept pursuing me. 
He wasn't accepting you. 

620
00:37:49,660 --> 00:37:52,260
He was pursuing you to get you 
off that walk. 

621
00:37:53,660 --> 00:37:55,980
And then you got on the right 
walk and you're testifying how 

622
00:37:55,980 --> 00:37:57,940
great this walk is. 
Not the old one. 

623
00:37:58,900 --> 00:38:02,100
Because the old one was so good.
Why'd you ever come back? 

624
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:17,240
Why did you feel like you had to
#2 #2 is you need to walk in the

625
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:19,680
light. 
Ephesians chapter 5 verses 8 

626
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,000
through 14. 
For you were formerly darkness, 

627
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,680
but now you are light in the 
Lord walk as children of light. 

628
00:38:27,940 --> 00:38:32,460
For the fruit of the light 
consist in all goodness and 

629
00:38:32,460 --> 00:38:36,300
righteousness and truth, trying 
to learn what is pleasing to the

630
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:40,420
Lord do not participate in the 
unfruitful deeds of darkness, 

631
00:38:40,420 --> 00:38:45,260
but instead even expose them. 
For it is disgraceful, say, 

632
00:38:45,260 --> 00:38:48,900
disgraceful. 
It is disgraceful even to speak 

633
00:38:49,220 --> 00:38:52,020
of the things which are done by 
them in secret. 

634
00:38:52,860 --> 00:38:56,860
But all things become visible 
when they are exposed by the 

635
00:38:56,860 --> 00:38:59,580
light. 
For everything that becomes 

636
00:38:59,580 --> 00:39:02,860
visible is light. 
For this reason it says awake, 

637
00:39:02,860 --> 00:39:08,420
Sleeper, and arise from the dead
and Christ will shine on you. 

638
00:39:08,660 --> 00:39:11,860
So the number two thing in this 
new walk is we are to walk in 

639
00:39:11,860 --> 00:39:14,340
the light. 
We used to be in darkness. 

640
00:39:14,340 --> 00:39:16,540
And the thing about darkness is 
that is dark. 

641
00:39:17,460 --> 00:39:18,420
You don't know where you're 
going. 

642
00:39:18,420 --> 00:39:20,980
You're having to grope around 
and feel your way around. 

643
00:39:21,340 --> 00:39:22,940
You know what? 
And you're subject to getting 

644
00:39:22,940 --> 00:39:25,060
hurt all the time, because if 
you don't know where the 

645
00:39:25,060 --> 00:39:28,850
obstacles are at. 
Then you can run into all kind 

646
00:39:28,850 --> 00:39:31,810
of stuff. 
You can get tripped up in all 

647
00:39:31,810 --> 00:39:35,850
kinds of things, and that's what
it's like being outside of the 

648
00:39:35,850 --> 00:39:38,170
will of God. 
That's why you're constantly 

649
00:39:38,330 --> 00:39:41,010
falling, falling, falling, 
getting hurt, getting hurt, 

650
00:39:41,010 --> 00:39:44,210
getting hurt. 
But when the light comes on, you

651
00:39:44,210 --> 00:39:46,570
can see. 
Right. 

652
00:39:46,730 --> 00:39:49,410
And so he says now you're going 
to need to walk as children of 

653
00:39:49,410 --> 00:39:50,930
light. 
And I like verse 9 because it 

654
00:39:50,930 --> 00:39:54,930
says for the fruit of the lights
consist in really what he's 

655
00:39:54,930 --> 00:39:57,570
saying, if you're children of 
light, then there should be a 

656
00:39:57,570 --> 00:40:00,930
perpetual display of the fruits 
of the spirit. 

657
00:40:03,010 --> 00:40:07,470
A perpetual display. 
Of the fruits of the spirit. 

658
00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:11,230
That means when a situation 
requires the fruit of love, you 

659
00:40:11,230 --> 00:40:13,710
can produce it. 
When the situation requires the 

660
00:40:13,710 --> 00:40:15,830
fruit of patience, you can 
produce it. 

661
00:40:15,910 --> 00:40:19,230
When the situation requires the 
fruit of self-control, you can 

662
00:40:19,230 --> 00:40:21,310
produce it. 
When the situation requires the 

663
00:40:21,310 --> 00:40:23,270
fruit of kindness, you can do 
it. 

664
00:40:23,270 --> 00:40:26,630
And you understand. 
Kindness doesn't always come 

665
00:40:26,630 --> 00:40:31,990
when the situation is kind. 
Kindness. 

666
00:40:31,990 --> 00:40:35,630
A lot of times that fruit will 
manifest when kindness is not 

667
00:40:35,630 --> 00:40:42,990
around and you're having to be 
the kind one, although the flesh

668
00:40:42,990 --> 00:40:49,030
says respond differently. 
But we walk as children of life.

669
00:40:49,030 --> 00:40:54,710
We're no longer retaliating. 
We have a totally different way 

670
00:40:54,710 --> 00:40:58,750
we can respond. 
We can live differently. 

671
00:40:59,210 --> 00:41:02,290
And again the whole Then he says
verse 10, trying to learn what 

672
00:41:02,290 --> 00:41:05,810
is pleasing to the Lord. 
Well, what does that mean? 

673
00:41:07,410 --> 00:41:09,650
Well, you know, if you go 
connect the dot over into 

674
00:41:09,650 --> 00:41:15,890
Hebrews Chapter 11 without 
faith, it's impossible to please

675
00:41:15,890 --> 00:41:19,410
him. 
So faith is what pleases God. 

676
00:41:19,410 --> 00:41:24,450
So verse 10 says we are supposed
to learn how to live by faith. 

677
00:41:25,130 --> 00:41:27,530
So if you're walking in the 
light, really what you're doing 

678
00:41:27,530 --> 00:41:30,850
is you're walking and living by 
faith. 

679
00:41:31,490 --> 00:41:36,170
No longer do you have to see a 
natural which is can be masked 

680
00:41:36,170 --> 00:41:40,690
in darkness anyway. 
You can see the word, you can 

681
00:41:40,690 --> 00:41:43,450
see. 
What God says is very clear, 

682
00:41:43,570 --> 00:41:46,290
even though all the 
circumstances around it says it 

683
00:41:46,290 --> 00:41:50,490
can't happen. 
You see the light, and you stay 

684
00:41:50,490 --> 00:41:54,250
with the light, and you stay 
with the word, and you walk in 

685
00:41:54,250 --> 00:41:57,290
the light of that word, and you 
walk in the light of that Word. 

686
00:41:57,330 --> 00:41:59,970
And when they say it's not gonna
work, it's not gonna happen, it 

687
00:41:59,970 --> 00:42:01,890
won't do this. 
You stay with the light of the 

688
00:42:01,890 --> 00:42:06,370
Word, and then you produce the 
fruit, Amen. 

689
00:42:06,770 --> 00:42:10,650
And that fruit then will expose 
those that are in darkness, 

690
00:42:12,370 --> 00:42:16,570
right? 
In fact, we shouldn't be talking

691
00:42:16,570 --> 00:42:18,370
about how bad everybody's 
living. 

692
00:42:21,900 --> 00:42:23,540
Well, did you see how they 
respond today? 

693
00:42:23,860 --> 00:42:24,900
I sure did. 
I can't. 

694
00:42:25,100 --> 00:42:27,900
Why are you talking about it? 
Why don't you bring a different 

695
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:29,380
fruit? 
Well, you know what? 

696
00:42:29,380 --> 00:42:31,180
Let's pray for them. 
It's obviously they were having 

697
00:42:31,180 --> 00:42:35,580
a bad day. 
What, You're going to be nice to

698
00:42:35,580 --> 00:42:38,420
them after all that they said at
the table today at work? 

699
00:42:39,780 --> 00:42:41,700
Yep. 
Because I walk in the light. 

700
00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:46,180
I said I walk in the light. 
I walk in the light. 

701
00:42:46,850 --> 00:42:52,370
So #2 we walk in the light, #3 
we walk in wisdom, say wisdom. 

702
00:42:53,730 --> 00:42:58,210
What's so awesome about being 
born of God is that God educates

703
00:42:58,210 --> 00:43:04,010
you quickly and he gives you an 
education that the world itself 

704
00:43:04,010 --> 00:43:08,450
cannot obtain. 
To cannot attain to this is 

705
00:43:08,450 --> 00:43:12,730
beyond mere knowledge. 
Ephesians chapter 5 verses 15 to

706
00:43:12,730 --> 00:43:18,590
17 says, therefore be careful 
how you walk not as unwise men, 

707
00:43:18,630 --> 00:43:23,510
but as wise, making the most of 
your time, because the days are 

708
00:43:23,510 --> 00:43:28,110
what evil. 
So then do not be foolish, but 

709
00:43:28,110 --> 00:43:31,590
understand what the will of the 
Lord is. 

710
00:43:31,950 --> 00:43:37,990
Now again he tells us to walk 
wise right we are to walk in 

711
00:43:37,990 --> 00:43:40,990
wisdom, so we're to walk as wise
men, not unwise. 

712
00:43:40,990 --> 00:43:42,550
And I like this because it goes 
on. 

713
00:43:42,550 --> 00:43:44,390
It says making the most of your 
time. 

714
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,600
What's he saying here in verse 
16? 

715
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:51,920
He's saying don't be slothful, 
don't be lazy. 

716
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:57,360
Unwise people are lazy. 
They're trying to do the least 

717
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:06,140
amount of work with the most 
amount of pay because they just 

718
00:44:06,140 --> 00:44:10,540
want to do what they want to do.
They want to fulfill their 

719
00:44:10,540 --> 00:44:13,900
desires. 
They want to have their time. 

720
00:44:15,620 --> 00:44:20,810
Well, we see here in verse 17 
that the foolish don't know what

721
00:44:20,810 --> 00:44:23,650
the will of the Lord is. 
Not only do you need to know the

722
00:44:23,650 --> 00:44:27,130
general will of the Lord, 
meaning how God's general will, 

723
00:44:27,130 --> 00:44:30,090
meaning every believer is to 
respond by the fruits of the 

724
00:44:30,090 --> 00:44:32,730
spirit. 
Every believer supposed to pray,

725
00:44:32,930 --> 00:44:35,530
every believer supposed to read 
the word, Every believer 

726
00:44:35,530 --> 00:44:38,610
supposed should be praying in 
the spirit, although they don't.

727
00:44:38,970 --> 00:44:43,450
Every believer is supposed to, 
you know, receive the benefits 

728
00:44:43,450 --> 00:44:45,850
that God has given to all of his
children. 

729
00:44:46,300 --> 00:44:49,140
These are general. 
But then there's a specific will

730
00:44:49,180 --> 00:44:51,780
for your life, the reason why 
you were born in the 1st place. 

731
00:44:51,900 --> 00:44:54,660
The book that he wrote about you
before you even got into your 

732
00:44:54,660 --> 00:44:57,260
mother's womb and said, I 
destined you in the earth at 

733
00:44:57,260 --> 00:45:04,620
this time to do this work. 
So you're foolish when you don't

734
00:45:04,620 --> 00:45:06,420
know the will of God. 
Well, how can you know the will 

735
00:45:06,420 --> 00:45:07,540
of God if you're not in his 
word? 

736
00:45:09,340 --> 00:45:12,900
So again, there's plenty of 
people that feel buildings 

737
00:45:12,900 --> 00:45:18,050
called church but don't even 
read the Bible and have no 

738
00:45:18,050 --> 00:45:20,490
concept of his will, and all 
they do is this. 

739
00:45:20,490 --> 00:45:26,330
Well, Lord, if it's your will. 
That was my Southern 

740
00:45:28,250 --> 00:45:32,850
impersonation. 
I've left New York, so I don't 

741
00:45:32,850 --> 00:45:33,970
know how they would have said 
that. 

742
00:45:35,810 --> 00:45:37,170
Right? 
Coffee. 

743
00:45:37,570 --> 00:45:39,330
But I can't. 
I don't know how to say that. 

744
00:45:39,330 --> 00:45:41,490
We will. 
Yeah, that's how you coffee. 

745
00:45:41,490 --> 00:45:42,690
You know you're saying it. 
Right. 

746
00:45:43,940 --> 00:45:46,100
Hallelujah. 
Got to pork the car. 

747
00:45:46,700 --> 00:45:51,500
OK, so you need to do the will 
of the Lord. 

748
00:45:51,740 --> 00:45:57,100
You cannot do that outside of 
being in the word and many 

749
00:45:57,100 --> 00:45:58,940
people saying Lord, whatever 
your will is. 

750
00:45:59,660 --> 00:46:02,860
And then it's like they're 
groping in darkness and if a 

751
00:46:02,860 --> 00:46:04,620
door is open, they assume it's 
God. 

752
00:46:04,900 --> 00:46:06,500
You know, devil's good at door 
opening. 

753
00:46:07,660 --> 00:46:10,540
He's really good at door. 
He's good at prosperity. 

754
00:46:11,460 --> 00:46:15,090
He's really good at prosperity. 
I mean, great at it. 

755
00:46:15,410 --> 00:46:17,290
I mean, that's what he was 
telling Jesus. 

756
00:46:17,450 --> 00:46:20,450
Look, I'll give you all the 
Kingdom this, all the prosperity

757
00:46:20,450 --> 00:46:24,730
that come, all the power, all 
the domain, all the dominion you

758
00:46:24,730 --> 00:46:26,770
get, all the wealth and riches 
here, people. 

759
00:46:27,490 --> 00:46:33,970
So what you get right. 
So devil's real good at that. 

760
00:46:34,090 --> 00:46:36,650
And if well, Lord official will 
you'll, you know, you'll give me

761
00:46:36,650 --> 00:46:38,210
that job or not. 
We don't even see if there's a 

762
00:46:38,210 --> 00:46:40,630
church there. 
And then if you move because of 

763
00:46:40,630 --> 00:46:43,550
the church, you can get off and 
not continue to stay connected 

764
00:46:43,550 --> 00:46:45,830
with the church because you 
prosper so good in the place 

765
00:46:45,830 --> 00:46:48,990
that God calls you to prosper 
because you answered him to come

766
00:46:48,990 --> 00:46:50,830
to the church. 
But now you're not doing nothing

767
00:46:50,830 --> 00:46:56,550
with the church. 
Why are we here? 

768
00:46:56,990 --> 00:47:02,710
What's the will of the Lord? 
I mean, when we supposed to 

769
00:47:02,710 --> 00:47:04,590
retire from the thing called the
church. 

770
00:47:08,550 --> 00:47:14,670
So when are you supposed to 
retire from serving well, 

771
00:47:14,670 --> 00:47:16,950
Pastor, I need a break. 
Well, Jesus need to break on the

772
00:47:16,950 --> 00:47:20,150
road to the I mean on the road 
to Galgatha. 

773
00:47:26,610 --> 00:47:28,810
But if you're in the words, 
you'll be a perpetual rest 

774
00:47:28,810 --> 00:47:31,690
anyway. 
I mean, he does tell you some 

775
00:47:31,690 --> 00:47:37,130
marathon Hallelujah. 
So condition yourself and let me

776
00:47:37,130 --> 00:47:39,890
tell you, we aren't going 
overwork you anyway because we 

777
00:47:39,890 --> 00:47:42,330
know when you get. 
You only show up when you serve.

778
00:47:45,810 --> 00:47:51,010
We're like, hold on now. 
That's not why you are here. 

779
00:47:51,770 --> 00:47:53,330
Because now you're really not 
serving. 

780
00:47:56,610 --> 00:48:01,410
You're not serving because 
serving is an overflow of your 

781
00:48:01,410 --> 00:48:06,890
relationship and your worship 
with God, not just a planning 

782
00:48:06,890 --> 00:48:10,100
center schedule. 
If you're only here when 

783
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:18,140
planning center scheduled you, 
you've turned God into a job and

784
00:48:18,140 --> 00:48:21,220
you've made him an idol. 
You've made him religious. 

785
00:48:23,900 --> 00:48:27,500
Oh, you should like want to be 
here because you love him and 

786
00:48:27,500 --> 00:48:30,380
he's assigned you here and he 
produces fruit in your life 

787
00:48:30,380 --> 00:48:31,940
because of the will of God for 
your life. 

788
00:48:32,100 --> 00:48:37,020
So wise people make the most of 
every opportunity, meaning they 

789
00:48:37,020 --> 00:48:39,530
purposeful. 
They don't say, well, let's 

790
00:48:39,530 --> 00:48:41,010
attain to this and then let's 
coast. 

791
00:48:41,570 --> 00:48:45,130
There is no real believer that 
says let's attain here and let's

792
00:48:45,130 --> 00:48:47,530
retire and just lay back and 
enjoy. 

793
00:48:49,490 --> 00:48:52,210
I get very concerned because I 
get around pastors all the time 

794
00:48:52,490 --> 00:48:58,210
that they finally build the 
building and then they're done. 

795
00:48:59,090 --> 00:49:03,010
In essence, they preach on 
Sunday because most of them 

796
00:49:03,010 --> 00:49:07,690
don't even do midweek. 
In essence, they've moved into 

797
00:49:07,690 --> 00:49:12,300
retirement and they built the 
church to the size that allows 

798
00:49:12,300 --> 00:49:19,460
them to live that way. 
Think there's more territory to 

799
00:49:19,460 --> 00:49:21,580
take. 
Amen. 

800
00:49:21,580 --> 00:49:23,500
We can keep pressing, keep 
doing, keep moving. 

801
00:49:23,500 --> 00:49:25,460
Why? 
Because the days are evil. 

802
00:49:26,220 --> 00:49:29,660
Because evil's not resting. 
In fact, we have guaranteed by 

803
00:49:29,660 --> 00:49:32,620
the scripture that evil will 
work harder in the end. 

804
00:49:34,100 --> 00:49:36,100
How can we let evil out? 
Work us. 

805
00:49:39,100 --> 00:49:41,500
Be more purposeful. 
Let's just put it that way. 

806
00:49:41,660 --> 00:49:44,220
They're more purposeful because,
you know, Christians hate the 

807
00:49:44,220 --> 00:49:46,860
word work. 
God has no problem with work. 

808
00:49:48,660 --> 00:49:52,260
Why do I know that? 
Jesus and my father's always not

809
00:49:52,260 --> 00:49:57,180
resting. 
He's always working. 

810
00:49:57,900 --> 00:49:59,580
And you're supposed to imitate 
God. 

811
00:50:00,660 --> 00:50:03,660
Well, if your father's always 
working, then you always work in

812
00:50:03,660 --> 00:50:07,880
your purpose and purpose. 
Doesn't happen just cause you're

813
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:13,120
in the walls. 
Hallelujah. 

814
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,240
Just say Amen anyway. 
Praise the Lord. 

815
00:50:16,240 --> 00:50:17,960
I know why anchor faith churches
like that. 

816
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,360
It's cause we don't We don't 
skirt around stuff. 

817
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:26,600
I mean, we're empowering you to 
be the greatest you you can be. 

818
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,800
Now at the end of the day, 
you're the one who's responsible

819
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,920
for you. 
I'm responsible for me. 

820
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,040
And I'm gonna do my part whether
you're here or not. 

821
00:50:36,460 --> 00:50:39,340
But I'm going to be a wise 
person when I'm the world's 

822
00:50:39,340 --> 00:50:41,300
pastor want to do that. 
Why does he want to add that to 

823
00:50:41,300 --> 00:50:41,980
his plate? 
Why do you? 

824
00:50:42,060 --> 00:50:44,180
Why? 
Cause the days are evil, man. 

825
00:50:45,260 --> 00:50:47,100
And we got to be about the 
father's business. 

826
00:50:49,100 --> 00:50:52,940
And here I'm in my own nation 
and people at that pastor for 40

827
00:50:52,940 --> 00:50:56,380
decades are telling me people 
are not hearing what you're 

828
00:50:56,380 --> 00:51:01,700
saying. 
Well, why am more saying it? 

829
00:51:07,900 --> 00:51:10,860
So if they're not, then I guess 
it's a pretty good good thing 

830
00:51:10,860 --> 00:51:15,700
we're out there saying it and 
that God's empowered us here to 

831
00:51:15,700 --> 00:51:18,820
be able to do it. 
Glory to God. 

832
00:51:19,660 --> 00:51:22,260
So I don't want to be foolish, 
right? 

833
00:51:22,820 --> 00:51:28,260
I want to be like the Ant that's
moving. 

834
00:51:29,220 --> 00:51:30,300
We wouldn't. 
We moving. 

835
00:51:32,070 --> 00:51:35,630
Praise the Lord, I said. 
We're moving because, you know, 

836
00:51:35,630 --> 00:51:38,110
when the winter hits, we've 
stored up stuff. 

837
00:51:40,110 --> 00:51:46,950
We're not begging for somebody 
else who stored Hallelujah. 

838
00:51:47,750 --> 00:51:52,950
No, we are not. 
Like the wicked slave son. 

839
00:51:52,950 --> 00:51:56,470
I gave you a talent and you 
buried it. 

840
00:52:01,410 --> 00:52:06,370
You could have at least drawn 
interest and that was still just

841
00:52:06,370 --> 00:52:11,890
taking it to a bank and letting 
them work it. 

842
00:52:12,170 --> 00:52:15,570
And you keep checking on it at 
minimum. 

843
00:52:15,770 --> 00:52:22,290
God always expects increase. 
So if you ever see yourself back

844
00:52:22,290 --> 00:52:28,610
slid and this is problematic and
let me tell you you do you know 

845
00:52:28,610 --> 00:52:32,410
whether you're back slate or not
how passionate are you to be 

846
00:52:32,410 --> 00:52:37,970
here that let me know real quick
because again you say wait a 

847
00:52:37,970 --> 00:52:40,930
minute how come you keep that 
like it Cause Jesus Christ is 

848
00:52:40,930 --> 00:52:44,810
the head of the and you by 
yourself is not the church. 

849
00:52:45,290 --> 00:52:47,370
You were just a finger you're 
just an elbow. 

850
00:52:47,370 --> 00:52:49,450
You're just a foot. 
You're just a toe. 

851
00:52:49,570 --> 00:52:51,970
You're just a rib. 
You're just one part. 

852
00:52:51,970 --> 00:52:56,140
You're not the body of Christ by
yourself, so you cannot be 

853
00:52:56,140 --> 00:52:59,380
having this, like, personal, 
super awesome relationship with 

854
00:52:59,380 --> 00:53:03,540
God without having this passion 
to want to be around every other

855
00:53:03,540 --> 00:53:07,100
believer. 
Because there was a time when 

856
00:53:07,100 --> 00:53:10,580
you first got saved that you 
know you love coming here. 

857
00:53:14,780 --> 00:53:18,820
And when it's not like I love 
it, then you're heading 

858
00:53:18,820 --> 00:53:22,900
backwards now again, loving it 
doesn't mean you have to feel it

859
00:53:24,190 --> 00:53:25,790
cause you got to stir yourself 
up. 

860
00:53:26,350 --> 00:53:30,030
I mean, there's days I don't 
feel like coming, especially 

861
00:53:30,030 --> 00:53:31,510
when it's raining and it's cold 
and you're like. 

862
00:53:32,310 --> 00:53:34,430
This would be kind of nice to 
stay by the fire. 

863
00:53:37,470 --> 00:53:42,990
Just cozy a little bit. 
No, you stir yourself up. 

864
00:53:43,390 --> 00:53:46,510
Was at the end of the day, Jesus
all about the church. 

865
00:53:47,030 --> 00:53:48,550
He loves it. 
He loves what we're doing. 

866
00:53:48,550 --> 00:53:52,860
Collectively and individually, 
individually, collectively, it's

867
00:53:52,860 --> 00:53:54,980
an amazing thing. 
It's like, awesome. 

868
00:53:54,980 --> 00:53:57,060
So empowering. 
I mean, I was really, my heart 

869
00:53:57,060 --> 00:53:59,540
was 4. 
Pastor Jack man up in New York. 

870
00:53:59,540 --> 00:54:04,460
I was like, I mean, I can't 
speak to it because I'm not 

871
00:54:04,460 --> 00:54:07,980
called there. 
So I don't presume to know 

872
00:54:08,700 --> 00:54:10,900
because when you get called 
somewhere, you'll get anointing 

873
00:54:10,900 --> 00:54:12,460
on how to deal with the place 
you're in. 

874
00:54:13,700 --> 00:54:15,580
But when they was telling me, 
man, they work two or three 

875
00:54:15,580 --> 00:54:19,060
jobs, both households work, you 
know, it's very difficult for 

876
00:54:19,060 --> 00:54:21,260
them. 
I'm like, jeez, some ain't right

877
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,280
was at the end of the day, 
that's not an excuse not to be 

878
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:29,240
in church. 
It's not an excuse. 

879
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:37,360
There's a disconnect somewhere. 
You know, the hustle and bustle.

880
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,720
There's a disconnect somewhere. 
I'm not going to give you the 

881
00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:43,880
answer because I'm not up there.
But if I was up there, I'd have 

882
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:48,680
the answer and we would create a
generation of packed out people 

883
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:55,540
that love to be with God or 
we're Jeremiah and that's a 

884
00:54:55,540 --> 00:54:58,340
whole nother ball game. 
Amen. 

885
00:54:58,620 --> 00:55:00,140
All right. 
So then the last one, number 

886
00:55:00,140 --> 00:55:02,380
four that we're gonna talk 
about, we're talking. 

887
00:55:02,380 --> 00:55:06,620
About again jumping back over 
any Ephesians or any Ephesians 

888
00:55:06,620 --> 00:55:08,700
chapter 2. 
Remember it says you formerly 

889
00:55:08,700 --> 00:55:13,540
walked away. 
Now we walk in the things. 

890
00:55:13,540 --> 00:55:17,380
Prepared for us. 
Because we're created in Christ.

891
00:55:17,380 --> 00:55:19,620
We have a new walk. 
We walk in love number one, we 

892
00:55:19,620 --> 00:55:22,780
walk in light #2, we walk in 
wisdom #3. 

893
00:55:22,940 --> 00:55:28,700
And the 4th one is we walk by 
the spirit, we walk by the 

894
00:55:28,700 --> 00:55:30,140
spirit. 
Now he feeds. 

895
00:55:30,140 --> 00:55:34,220
In chapter 5, verse 18 he 
mentions this a little, he one 

896
00:55:34,220 --> 00:55:37,300
statement concerning it. 
And then but we then we're going

897
00:55:37,300 --> 00:55:39,220
to jump over to Galatians, 
closing Galatians. 

898
00:55:39,220 --> 00:55:43,760
He really pulls out this walk by
the spirit when Ephesians 518. 

899
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,680
Just so you know what's in the 
Ephesians 5 section. 

900
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:53,640
He says do not get drunk with 
wine, for that is dissipation. 

901
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:58,120
But be what? 
Filled with the spirit? 

902
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,120
Okay. 
So we're not supposed to get 

903
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:02,960
drunk with wine now? 
What do we mean by that? 

904
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:07,440
You're not supposed to allow 
alcohol to intoxicate you, 

905
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:16,330
because when you're intoxicated,
it messes with your mind, I 

906
00:56:16,330 --> 00:56:20,290
said. 
It messes with your mind, It 

907
00:56:20,290 --> 00:56:25,330
messes with your mind. 
It hinders its ability to 

908
00:56:25,330 --> 00:56:30,490
function in clarity. 
Now it depends on the type of 

909
00:56:30,490 --> 00:56:34,050
person you are, how alcohol 
affects your mind. 

910
00:56:34,770 --> 00:56:40,410
Some people, when they get drunk
that are timid sober, be become 

911
00:56:40,410 --> 00:56:46,770
extremely brave and violent. 
Is that not true? 

912
00:56:47,410 --> 00:56:50,890
I mean, it beat anybody up or 
get beat up while they're trying

913
00:56:50,890 --> 00:56:54,930
to beat somebody up one or the 
other and they don't care at 

914
00:56:54,930 --> 00:57:00,490
all, right? 
Some When they get drunk, when 

915
00:57:00,490 --> 00:57:03,410
they're sober, they don't talk. 
But when they're drunk, they 

916
00:57:03,410 --> 00:57:07,940
talk a lot and they talk about 
everything and anything. 

917
00:57:10,780 --> 00:57:15,060
No filter. 
There are some that get drunk 

918
00:57:15,260 --> 00:57:21,540
and they actually get quiet and 
their quietness moves them into 

919
00:57:21,540 --> 00:57:25,020
depression and they get 
depressed. 

920
00:57:26,500 --> 00:57:29,020
Are you hearing me? 
But when sober, that's not 

921
00:57:29,020 --> 00:57:31,260
technically the case. 
Now, when they're sober, you 

922
00:57:31,260 --> 00:57:32,900
understand there's usually 
something happening in their 

923
00:57:33,140 --> 00:57:37,780
sober mind that makes them think
that the intoxication is better 

924
00:57:38,700 --> 00:57:43,140
because it's trying to suppress 
or hurt, in essence, if I can. 

925
00:57:43,180 --> 00:57:48,460
And it is interesting that we 
call alcohol spirits still this 

926
00:57:48,460 --> 00:57:51,140
day. 
Wine and spirits. 

927
00:57:52,740 --> 00:57:56,450
Spirits. 
OK, well, because it's amazing 

928
00:57:56,450 --> 00:57:59,370
what you are. 
What can get in your mind when 

929
00:57:59,370 --> 00:58:03,090
you don't have control over it. 
Are you hearing me? 

930
00:58:03,570 --> 00:58:06,370
Now, this this goes without 
saying when it comes to drugs. 

931
00:58:07,730 --> 00:58:11,170
All right, now the question is, 
And it always comes up to me. 

932
00:58:11,530 --> 00:58:14,010
OK, well, Pastor, you're just 
not supposed to get drunk. 

933
00:58:14,250 --> 00:58:22,210
Well, define drunk. 
Let's let's define it because 

934
00:58:22,210 --> 00:58:25,490
some would define drunk as 
inebriated. 

935
00:58:25,490 --> 00:58:27,450
You can't wall falling all over 
the place. 

936
00:58:27,490 --> 00:58:32,530
Well, does that the Bible 
definition of drunk because that

937
00:58:32,690 --> 00:58:35,130
that's really not the Bible 
definition of drunk. 

938
00:58:36,010 --> 00:58:39,970
The Bible definition of drunk is
that you have something in you 

939
00:58:40,130 --> 00:58:43,130
that starts to affect the 
clarity of your thinking. 

940
00:58:48,050 --> 00:58:53,630
Now I can go back in my history 
and know the first time I drank,

941
00:58:55,990 --> 00:59:03,150
especially when it came to beer.
One beer messed with my mind. 

942
00:59:04,350 --> 00:59:09,190
Now I developed a tolerance for 
alcohol, which means then the 

943
00:59:09,390 --> 00:59:14,710
mental effect I had originally 
with the first one didn't occur 

944
00:59:14,710 --> 00:59:18,350
till it became later. 
Now again in this interesting 

945
00:59:18,590 --> 00:59:23,040
that any alcoholic today started
with one. 

946
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:32,920
And again, just about every 
alcoholic today typically says I

947
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:39,960
can stop anytime I want. 
Which is the first deception, 

948
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:49,030
all right. 
Look, I don't have time to break

949
00:59:49,030 --> 00:59:51,470
all this down for you because 
again, this is where everybody 

950
00:59:51,470 --> 00:59:52,830
goes. 
Yeah, but Jesus drank wine. 

951
00:59:53,150 --> 00:59:59,750
The Bible, literally in the 
Greek, does not show the 

952
00:59:59,750 --> 01:00:04,270
difference between the. 
Fruit of the vine and fermented 

953
01:00:04,270 --> 01:00:09,990
wine, Period. 
So the fruit of the vine would 

954
01:00:09,990 --> 01:00:13,670
be all by all rights, is called 
great juice. 

955
01:00:14,510 --> 01:00:16,870
Great juice would still be 
called. 

956
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:19,560
It would not be called grape 
juice. 

957
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:24,440
So what we've done, we allowed 
our Americanized thinking to 

958
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:31,240
assume wine only has to do with 
alcohol when they would call 

959
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,840
that wine as well. 
OK. 

960
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,280
I mean, this shouldn't be hard 
for us because again, you can 

961
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:42,720
buy a Heineken, you can buy a 
Guinness. 

962
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,520
Only reason I know this because 
I've seen commercials. 

963
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,880
I knew about o'doul's, but 
o'doul's really doesn't matter 

964
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:49,720
because o'doul's is a different 
name. 

965
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:55,200
Heineken is an alcoholic 
beverage, a beer, but you can 

966
01:00:55,200 --> 01:01:01,400
get it with 0 alcohol, which 
means they make the taste 

967
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:08,880
without the alcoholic effect 0. 
Guinness now has 10 alcohol. 

968
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,440
You know, you know how much 
drunk drivers we have right now?

969
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,200
You know how many people's 
gotten in trouble with drunk 

970
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,460
driving? 
I mean if it was really serious 

971
01:01:16,460 --> 01:01:21,220
about us in the in our world and
we can make non alcoholic beer, 

972
01:01:21,260 --> 01:01:26,460
then why don't we just get rid 
of the alcohol And let me just 

973
01:01:26,460 --> 01:01:29,180
throw this one out for all the 
ones that say well but didn't 

974
01:01:29,180 --> 01:01:32,460
Paul tell Timothy to drink wine?
Why did he tell Timothy to drink

975
01:01:32,460 --> 01:01:35,220
wine for? 
So are you drinking? 

976
01:01:35,260 --> 01:01:39,660
Is your stomach hurt all the 
time that every night you got to

977
01:01:39,660 --> 01:01:43,500
drink out wine with your meal 
cause of your stomach? 

978
01:01:43,850 --> 01:01:45,930
Do you have a perpetual bowel 
issue? 

979
01:01:50,930 --> 01:01:54,410
So you see how people do just to
try to justify. 

980
01:01:55,370 --> 01:01:58,290
Now at the end of the day, 
listen, I you drink a glass of 

981
01:01:58,290 --> 01:02:00,170
wine and die, that doesn't send 
you to hell. 

982
01:02:00,170 --> 01:02:04,050
I'm not saying that. 
I mean, I had alcoholic wine in 

983
01:02:04,050 --> 01:02:06,570
Haiti because they used it for 
communion. 

984
01:02:06,810 --> 01:02:09,610
In fact, the only time Pastor 
Marcus has ever drank alcohol 

985
01:02:09,770 --> 01:02:14,620
was around me. 
And because of me the first time

986
01:02:14,620 --> 01:02:18,420
is because I did this skit one 
time when I was a youth pastor, 

987
01:02:18,660 --> 01:02:21,500
my brotherinlaw work for a 
company called Metal Container 

988
01:02:21,500 --> 01:02:23,380
and they made the lids for 
Anheuser Busch. 

989
01:02:23,380 --> 01:02:27,420
Just the lids. 
And so I had him send me the 

990
01:02:27,420 --> 01:02:33,140
lids that go on a Budweiser can,
just the lids. 

991
01:02:33,340 --> 01:02:35,620
And I put them on ice in a 
cooler. 

992
01:02:36,370 --> 01:02:38,850
And so that night we had. 
I don't know what Hunter 

993
01:02:38,850 --> 01:02:39,890
something teenagers. 
There. 

994
01:02:40,090 --> 01:02:42,490
I said, look, I'm your youth 
pastor at the end of the day. 

995
01:02:42,490 --> 01:02:43,890
I know you're dealing with this 
right. 

996
01:02:43,890 --> 01:02:44,610
This right. 
Joshua. 

997
01:02:45,050 --> 01:02:47,170
I know you're dealing with this 
about tonight. 

998
01:02:47,170 --> 01:02:49,930
Listen, if you've got to pop a 
cold one you're going to do it 

999
01:02:49,930 --> 01:02:54,250
with your youth pastor tonight. 
Tonight we go pop a cold one 

1000
01:02:54,250 --> 01:02:56,410
together. 
That's how I let that's how I 

1001
01:02:56,410 --> 01:02:58,890
set it up. 
And my message was a Budweiser 

1002
01:02:58,890 --> 01:03:03,530
than. 
Yeah, that was good, isn't it? 

1003
01:03:04,890 --> 01:03:10,570
So the youth pastor went across 
the street next door to the 

1004
01:03:10,570 --> 01:03:15,050
youth and bought a case of beer.
Yeah, well, I had to have the 

1005
01:03:15,050 --> 01:03:18,410
prop bought the case of beer. 
Walk back. 

1006
01:03:18,410 --> 01:03:20,770
I'm glad people didn't have 
phones and film and stuff like 

1007
01:03:20,770 --> 01:03:22,610
that, you know? 
Again, I took a risk. 

1008
01:03:22,610 --> 01:03:25,370
I get it. 
And so I came back and Pastor 

1009
01:03:25,370 --> 01:03:30,450
Marcus and I, we drilled the 
bottom of every beer can. 

1010
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:34,360
Now again it's been so long 
since I drank I didn't realize 

1011
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,320
they made it where it kind of 
curves up on the bottom. 

1012
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:41,200
Now it has like this little. 
I don't maybe it helps it pour 

1013
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:42,560
out. 
I don't know why they did that 

1014
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:45,440
was flat long time ago, but now 
it's got this little curve. 

1015
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:49,040
So we're we're dumping it out as
best we can. 

1016
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,440
But you know there's still some 
around that little bottom rim. 

1017
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,840
So once then I rinsed. 
It did as much as I could. 

1018
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,920
Then I took and we poured. 
Apple juice in it because, you 

1019
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,800
know, you foam up apple juice. 
It looks like beer. 

1020
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:07,400
So we poured that in and then I 
plugged it with a little screw 

1021
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,640
that had a rubber Grumman on it 
and we plugged it and put it 

1022
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:14,480
back in the case. 
So then the skit was, you know, 

1023
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,440
here they are having a party. 
But you know, again, for them to

1024
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:21,880
think Pastor Marcus had real 
beer, he could pop the top and 

1025
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,320
then he would pour it in a glass
cup and you could see it and it 

1026
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,360
would foam up and then he would 
drink it. 

1027
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:29,960
Then you know the youth are 
watching all this, right? 

1028
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:33,240
Well, I had, you know, another 
cup that was, you know, one of 

1029
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:39,120
those stadium cups that we put 
Chunky Campbell's soup in chunk.

1030
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,600
Some chunky soup in it. 
And so ultimately he's putting 

1031
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:43,760
them back, you know, putting 
them back. 

1032
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:45,920
Crushing the can, boom. 
Putting it back, crushing the 

1033
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:50,240
can, just tearing it up, right? 
Then he grabs this other cup and

1034
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:56,240
he puts it in and then he throws
up all over the place, right? 

1035
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,780
This is my skit because at the 
end of the day, don't think the 

1036
01:04:59,780 --> 01:05:02,900
parties aren't going like this. 
People are still doing this. 

1037
01:05:02,900 --> 01:05:06,580
My wife and I went out to Salt 
Life after Wednesday night 

1038
01:05:06,580 --> 01:05:10,420
service when they came out and 
we're like, is that is that puke

1039
01:05:10,420 --> 01:05:14,140
out here in the parking lot? 
Sure enough, somebody was having

1040
01:05:14,140 --> 01:05:16,540
a good old time is what we call 
it. 

1041
01:05:17,300 --> 01:05:19,900
That's I've never had a good old
time throwing up. 

1042
01:05:20,060 --> 01:05:24,460
I have never. 
Something's wrong with you. 

1043
01:05:25,580 --> 01:05:28,340
I'm having. 
I'm having such a good old time 

1044
01:05:28,340 --> 01:05:30,580
right now. 
Nobody does that. 

1045
01:05:31,180 --> 01:05:37,940
Nobody does that in their right.
My just say liar. 

1046
01:05:38,020 --> 01:05:42,780
You're a liar right now. 
You're not having a good time 

1047
01:05:42,860 --> 01:05:45,420
when your toenails are trying to
come up through your throat. 

1048
01:05:45,420 --> 01:05:47,980
No way. 
No way. 

1049
01:05:49,180 --> 01:05:50,660
Hallelujah. 
Y'all doing all right. 

1050
01:05:52,900 --> 01:05:56,580
I'm a violent thrower upper. 
My wife is super quiet. 

1051
01:05:56,580 --> 01:06:02,060
You don't even know it's. 
The self-control she has. 

1052
01:06:04,340 --> 01:06:05,220
You all right? 
Yeah. 

1053
01:06:05,220 --> 01:06:10,340
I just threw up. 
You what She's like you don't 

1054
01:06:10,340 --> 01:06:11,980
even know. 
Happens. 

1055
01:06:11,980 --> 01:06:16,300
This even happened. 
It's crazy me. 

1056
01:06:18,420 --> 01:06:21,580
Has it come? 
Just get it all out. 

1057
01:06:21,580 --> 01:06:24,020
Plus my voice, right? 
Just lose it all. 

1058
01:06:24,310 --> 01:06:28,830
Going to lose it all that's bad.
Me and Brianna, we will believe 

1059
01:06:28,830 --> 01:06:33,030
God that it will always go down 
another way. 

1060
01:06:34,270 --> 01:06:37,870
If it starts to try to serve 
like Jesus you will If you got 

1061
01:06:37,870 --> 01:06:39,590
to get out, you going out 
another way. 

1062
01:06:40,230 --> 01:06:43,550
You are so going out another way
and I don't care if it coming 

1063
01:06:43,550 --> 01:06:46,150
out fast the other way because 
I'm like that's right in Jesus 

1064
01:06:46,150 --> 01:06:47,710
name. 
You are not coming out of my 

1065
01:06:47,710 --> 01:06:50,390
mouth when I put it in. 
It does not come back out. 

1066
01:06:50,430 --> 01:06:54,690
It will not return that way. 
I hate it that much. 

1067
01:06:55,490 --> 01:06:57,050
So it's not a good time. 
It's a lot. 

1068
01:06:58,730 --> 01:07:03,650
Anyway, he tasted some, then, 
you know, he's like, I see, I'm 

1069
01:07:03,650 --> 01:07:06,170
sorry. 
And then the next time we went 

1070
01:07:06,170 --> 01:07:08,650
to Haiti, we ministered at Faith
Christian University. 

1071
01:07:08,650 --> 01:07:12,010
Actually, they had a campus 
there at the time, and so we 

1072
01:07:12,010 --> 01:07:14,010
went to a church. 
They had communion. 

1073
01:07:14,370 --> 01:07:16,130
And so I was up front helping to
serve communion. 

1074
01:07:16,130 --> 01:07:18,890
He was in the back about where 
the sound booth is right there. 

1075
01:07:19,210 --> 01:07:21,810
And I was standing here and he 
was directly in front of me like

1076
01:07:21,810 --> 01:07:23,480
this. 
We're holding this and I'll 

1077
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:24,240
drink the cup. 
And I went. 

1078
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:33,920
I went, ah, that's not Welch's. 
And Pastor Marcus went look like

1079
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:49,880
Barney Fife and I just went 
Hallelujah. 

1080
01:07:52,170 --> 01:07:57,810
Praise the Lord so, he says. 
Look, don't let nothing mess 

1081
01:07:57,810 --> 01:08:01,850
with your mind. 
Are you hearing me now? 

1082
01:08:01,850 --> 01:08:05,130
Let nothing mess with your mind.
I think if most people were 

1083
01:08:05,130 --> 01:08:08,330
honest about their alcohol 
drinking anyway, they kind of do

1084
01:08:08,330 --> 01:08:13,490
it for sophistication. 
I mean, they were honest. 

1085
01:08:14,450 --> 01:08:16,930
Why do you drink again at the 
end of the day? 

1086
01:08:16,930 --> 01:08:19,010
I'm not here to condemn or go 
any other way. 

1087
01:08:19,010 --> 01:08:20,450
You need to talk to the Lord 
about that. 

1088
01:08:21,410 --> 01:08:25,410
I just know that there's a time 
when you first start, it affects

1089
01:08:25,410 --> 01:08:27,770
your mind right out the gate. 
And why do you build up a 

1090
01:08:27,770 --> 01:08:32,250
tolerance for something that has
destroyed so many people's lives

1091
01:08:32,250 --> 01:08:33,609
when there's so many other 
options? 

1092
01:08:36,770 --> 01:08:42,450
That's all that you could, just 
not, period. 

1093
01:08:43,210 --> 01:08:47,010
And then you would never be 
concerned about it, nor would 

1094
01:08:47,010 --> 01:08:50,130
you be categorized, because how 
do they? 

1095
01:08:50,130 --> 01:08:53,250
Know when you're sitting at the 
restaurant, that's your only 

1096
01:08:53,250 --> 01:09:01,189
glass. 
And how many people say, well, 

1097
01:09:01,189 --> 01:09:05,870
you know, my pastor drinks too. 
Wow. 

1098
01:09:09,149 --> 01:09:10,109
And then they're bailing them 
out. 

1099
01:09:10,109 --> 01:09:11,550
What happened? 
Well, drains a little too much, 

1100
01:09:11,550 --> 01:09:13,910
pastor. 
Well, God loves you, man. 

1101
01:09:19,149 --> 01:09:28,670
Drink responsibly. 
That's called an oxymoron. 

1102
01:09:30,430 --> 01:09:33,149
The more you drink, the less 
responsible you are. 

1103
01:09:34,189 --> 01:09:39,870
That's like gamble responsibly. 
That can't happen. 

1104
01:09:42,189 --> 01:09:44,590
Galatians 5. 
Let's shut this down. 

1105
01:09:46,810 --> 01:09:49,930
Amen. 
Somebody on the podcast needs to

1106
01:09:49,930 --> 01:09:53,729
hear this. 
If it's in this house, then let 

1107
01:09:53,729 --> 01:09:58,130
it apply. 
Galatians 516 to 25 says this. 

1108
01:09:58,130 --> 01:10:03,810
But I say, walk by the Spirit 
and you will not carry out the 

1109
01:10:03,810 --> 01:10:07,610
desires of the flesh. 
For the flesh sets its desire 

1110
01:10:07,610 --> 01:10:09,610
against the Spirit, and the 
Spirit against the flesh, for 

1111
01:10:09,610 --> 01:10:11,810
these are in opposition to one 
another. 

1112
01:10:13,590 --> 01:10:16,750
So that you may not do the 
things that you please. 

1113
01:10:18,230 --> 01:10:22,550
The spirit is the check. 
The spirit is like, we don't 

1114
01:10:22,550 --> 01:10:24,110
live that way. 
We don't walk that way anymore. 

1115
01:10:24,790 --> 01:10:27,030
The spirit is like, that's a 
formal walk. 

1116
01:10:27,750 --> 01:10:29,870
We don't do that now. 
That's a formal walk. 

1117
01:10:30,950 --> 01:10:32,710
I know where you're going. 
That's a formal walk. 

1118
01:10:33,350 --> 01:10:35,230
Spirit on a man. 
Get up in there and talk to your

1119
01:10:35,230 --> 01:10:36,670
soul. 
Now that's a formal walk. 

1120
01:10:37,510 --> 01:10:38,790
Get them to arrest that 
thinking. 

1121
01:10:38,790 --> 01:10:41,590
Get them to get them to take 
captain that thought. 

1122
01:10:41,590 --> 01:10:42,870
Let's take Captain. 
That thought now. 

1123
01:10:43,780 --> 01:10:47,780
Because that's former walking. 
That's former walking all right.

1124
01:10:48,500 --> 01:10:50,980
But if you are led by the 
Spirit, you're not under the 

1125
01:10:50,980 --> 01:10:52,860
law. 
Now that just simply means you 

1126
01:10:52,860 --> 01:10:56,620
trying to fulfill God's word 
without the help of God. 

1127
01:10:59,220 --> 01:11:05,260
Now the deeds of the flesh are 
evident, which are, yeah, that's

1128
01:11:05,260 --> 01:11:08,290
so true, Lord. 
You know I've always, you know, 

1129
01:11:08,330 --> 01:11:11,690
like you know when he this 
statement here like that's just 

1130
01:11:11,690 --> 01:11:14,570
such a tough statement like how 
do we explain this property And 

1131
01:11:14,570 --> 01:11:16,250
the Lord says I say it this way.
Thank you. 

1132
01:11:16,610 --> 01:11:18,810
So, he says. 
Listen again. 

1133
01:11:19,090 --> 01:11:22,690
If you are led by the spirit, 
you're not under the law right 

1134
01:11:22,890 --> 01:11:26,650
now. 
Does the law say that it's okay 

1135
01:11:26,650 --> 01:11:30,130
to have immorality? 
Does the law say to have 

1136
01:11:30,130 --> 01:11:33,690
impurity or sensuality or 
adultery or sorcery or enmities,

1137
01:11:33,690 --> 01:11:35,170
or strive for jealousies or 
outburst? 

1138
01:11:35,330 --> 01:11:37,310
Does the law say that? 
Okay. 

1139
01:11:37,310 --> 01:11:39,030
So if you're living by the 
spirit, you're not under the 

1140
01:11:39,030 --> 01:11:42,310
law. 
Obviously, the law says to not 

1141
01:11:42,310 --> 01:11:45,430
covet, to not murder. 
Well, we're still not supposed 

1142
01:11:45,430 --> 01:11:47,870
to murder. 
We're still not supposed to 

1143
01:11:47,870 --> 01:11:49,110
covet. 
We're still not supposed to 

1144
01:11:49,110 --> 01:11:54,390
steal the law. 
None of the law was saying this 

1145
01:11:54,390 --> 01:11:58,930
to do these things. 
So again, when it says under the

1146
01:11:58,930 --> 01:12:00,650
law, it says you're not under 
the law. 

1147
01:12:00,650 --> 01:12:04,970
Meaning you're trying your very 
best to do it God's way, but you

1148
01:12:04,970 --> 01:12:06,930
can't because your nature 
separated. 

1149
01:12:07,610 --> 01:12:09,530
You're not under that condition 
anymore. 

1150
01:12:09,530 --> 01:12:12,290
You're actually now in the 
Spirit, and the Spirit can't 

1151
01:12:12,290 --> 01:12:15,730
fulfill God's word. 
He will. 

1152
01:12:15,730 --> 01:12:18,850
The Holy Spirit will do it, and 
he'll tell you how to do it, and

1153
01:12:18,850 --> 01:12:22,560
he'll empower you to be able to 
resist, so that the works of the

1154
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:25,080
flesh then are evident, which 
are immorality and purity, 

1155
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:28,560
sensuality, adultery, sorcery, 
enmity, strife, jealousy, 

1156
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:32,520
outbursts of anger, it says, 
disputes, dissensions, factions 

1157
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:35,080
in being, drunkenness. 
So now we're. 

1158
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:38,040
Back over to Ephesians 5 again, 
Don't be drunk with wine. 

1159
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,480
But you know, basically, you 
know, you're supposed to be 

1160
01:12:41,480 --> 01:12:45,520
filled with the spirit, 
carousing and things like these,

1161
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:48,760
of which I forewarned you, just 
as I have forewarned you that 

1162
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:52,560
those who practice such things 
will not inherit the Kingdom of 

1163
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:53,760
God. 
Thank you. 

1164
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:58,320
The Lord wanted me to let remind
you, yes, being filled with the 

1165
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:06,040
Spirit can get you demonstrating
an outward display that looks 

1166
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:11,200
like what a natural, intoxicated
person looks like. 

1167
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:18,640
Peter on the day of Pentecost, 
said these men are not drunk as 

1168
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:20,280
you. 
So there was something about 

1169
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:23,680
their behavior when they got 
under the power that made them 

1170
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:26,600
look like they were staggering 
and stammering. 

1171
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,440
Because again, a person drunk, 
you know, will slur. 

1172
01:13:29,440 --> 01:13:32,680
There's, you know, like, what? 
What? 

1173
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,240
So when they were speaking in an
unknown tongue. 

1174
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:39,840
Because, again, if they were 
only Speaking of the language 

1175
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,080
which they were speaking 
languages, people understood. 

1176
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:44,720
But if they were only doing 
that, then there'd be no reason 

1177
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,480
to associate them with 
drunkenness. 

1178
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,960
So there was the Speaking of 
tongues that no one knew what 

1179
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:53,000
they were saying, so they 
thought it was stammering of 

1180
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:54,960
lips. 
They were drunk. 

1181
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:56,920
Listen to them. 
They're stammering their lips 

1182
01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:58,960
all over the place. 
Okay. 

1183
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,400
And again you can get so full of
the spirit that the weight of 

1184
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:05,040
his glory and power could put 
you on the ground. 

1185
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,600
Just like when you people are 
drunk, they stagger and fall. 

1186
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:10,200
That can take place. 
But notice this. 

1187
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:14,880
Not every occasion when you are 
under the influence of the 

1188
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:17,240
Spirit, are you going to be 
falling all over the place? 

1189
01:14:17,440 --> 01:14:20,840
Because some people take that as
then as a religious exercise, 

1190
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:24,200
and they're just stumbling all 
over the place, making it look 

1191
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,680
like they're drunk in the spirit
when they're no more drunk in 

1192
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,840
the Spirit, they just want you 
to think they're drunk in the 

1193
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:31,480
spirit. 
Now how do I know? 

1194
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:35,160
Because their lifestyle isn't 
actually being walked out by the

1195
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:37,360
Spirit. 
Because they're doing all these 

1196
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:41,890
things still. 
You're staggering around here, 

1197
01:14:41,890 --> 01:14:44,210
but you're sleeping around. 
You're staggering around here, 

1198
01:14:44,290 --> 01:14:45,690
but you're still, you know, 
Corral. 

1199
01:14:45,690 --> 01:14:48,290
You're staggering around here, 
but you're envying. 

1200
01:14:48,290 --> 01:14:50,610
You're staggering around here 
and you got jealousy. 

1201
01:14:51,850 --> 01:14:53,330
Why? 
You staggering around and it 

1202
01:14:53,610 --> 01:15:01,010
didn't do nothing for you. 
Again, if you fall, great, but 

1203
01:15:01,010 --> 01:15:03,410
do something different once you 
get up. 

1204
01:15:07,390 --> 01:15:10,630
So a Holy Ghost meeting is not 
just the stammering of lips. 

1205
01:15:10,950 --> 01:15:13,190
Well, you will speak in it on 
untone. 

1206
01:15:13,510 --> 01:15:15,070
I'm fine with that. 
But that doesn't mean you're 

1207
01:15:15,070 --> 01:15:17,510
falling all over the place. 
Okay, let's go on. 

1208
01:15:19,150 --> 01:15:21,190
He says verse 22. 
But the fruit of the Spirit is 

1209
01:15:21,190 --> 01:15:23,310
love, joy, peace, patience, 
kindness, goodness, 

1210
01:15:23,310 --> 01:15:24,670
faithfulness, gentleness, 
selfcontrol. 

1211
01:15:24,670 --> 01:15:27,710
Against such there is no law. 
Now those who belong to Christ 

1212
01:15:27,830 --> 01:15:30,750
Jesus have crucified the flesh 
with its passions and desires. 

1213
01:15:30,750 --> 01:15:36,190
If we live by the Spirit, let us
also what walk by the Spirit? 

1214
01:15:36,730 --> 01:15:38,970
So the fourth thing is you're 
going to walk by the Spirit. 

1215
01:15:38,970 --> 01:15:41,650
Now let me just say this. 
You cannot walk by the Spirit 

1216
01:15:41,650 --> 01:15:46,810
outside the word of God. 
It cannot happen because if 

1217
01:15:46,810 --> 01:15:49,090
you're just trying to be 
spiritual, you'll tap into the 

1218
01:15:49,090 --> 01:15:51,530
wrong spirit because you don't 
have an anchor in the word to 

1219
01:15:51,530 --> 01:15:57,610
know what a correct spirit is. 
Because the enemy is in the 

1220
01:15:57,610 --> 01:16:03,130
spirit realm and the devil comes
as an Angel of light. 

1221
01:16:03,980 --> 01:16:09,060
So if you're walking by the 
spirit, you must also be in the 

1222
01:16:09,060 --> 01:16:13,580
word to be a person who's truly 
living or walking by the Spirit.

1223
01:16:13,580 --> 01:16:15,380
Two things are going to be 
necessary in your life. 

1224
01:16:15,540 --> 01:16:20,860
One is a consistent diet of 
reading and studying the word, 

1225
01:16:21,020 --> 01:16:25,620
and the 2nd is a consistent diet
of praying and praying in the 

1226
01:16:25,620 --> 01:16:30,220
spirit you must have about. 
Jesus himself knew the word, He 

1227
01:16:30,220 --> 01:16:33,980
was the word, but he prayed. 
If prayer alone made you 

1228
01:16:33,980 --> 01:16:37,780
spiritual then Jesus never would
have ever said it is written. 

1229
01:16:40,100 --> 01:16:43,380
If prayer was not important and 
all you had to do was read, then

1230
01:16:43,420 --> 01:16:44,780
Jesus never would have went and 
prayed. 

1231
01:16:47,020 --> 01:16:51,460
So a person who's truly walking 
by the Spirit, this new walk we 

1232
01:16:51,460 --> 01:16:56,430
are, should have a habit of both
reading the word and prayer. 

1233
01:16:57,070 --> 01:16:59,710
Not just praying in the natural,
but praying in the Spirit. 

1234
01:16:59,710 --> 01:17:02,590
And there should be a balance. 
Which one you should do more. 

1235
01:17:03,310 --> 01:17:06,270
It's which one's most necessary 
at the time. 

1236
01:17:09,390 --> 01:17:11,990
Now, most of the time it's gonna
kind of seem like a balance 

1237
01:17:11,990 --> 01:17:14,870
between the two. 
But sometimes you don't need to 

1238
01:17:14,870 --> 01:17:16,230
pray. 
You just need to get in the 

1239
01:17:16,230 --> 01:17:19,550
word, and you need to wash 
yourself with the Word. 

1240
01:17:19,550 --> 01:17:21,950
You need to spend some hours 
just reading the word. 

1241
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:26,440
Then there's other times that 
you need to get over and pray 

1242
01:17:26,440 --> 01:17:33,120
for quite some time until you 
break through, so it's whichever

1243
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:37,320
ones needed. 
So we don't want to emphasize 

1244
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:40,560
one more than the other because 
they're really inseparable 

1245
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,040
anyway. 
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

1246
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:45,600
All right, what, Did you learn 
anything tonight? 

1247
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,080
Are you going to, you going to 
walk your new walk? 

1248
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:51,320
I said, are you going to walk 
your new walk? 

1249
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,360
We're going to walk in love. 
We're going to walk in the 

1250
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,840
light, we're going to walk in 
wisdom and we're going to walk 

1251
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,960
by the spirit. 
And when we do that, then the 

1252
01:17:59,960 --> 01:18:02,920
world will say, who are you, 
where are you from and what can 

1253
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:07,640
I do to get what you have? 
Because you will no longer be 

1254
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:14,160
confused with the former walk, 
nor will anyone be able to 

1255
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:17,000
associate. 
They can lie and say you've done

1256
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,820
something. 
Now you can't stop that because 

1257
01:18:19,820 --> 01:18:22,060
they said Jesus walked away, He 
never walked. 

1258
01:18:24,700 --> 01:18:28,620
But you are never to walk away. 
That they can rightly accuse you

1259
01:18:29,380 --> 01:18:37,420
of a former.
