1 00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:04,840 Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,200 from St. Augustine, FL. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:16,640 Now enjoy this message. Relations, Chapter 2. 4 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:24,520 It's going to be a minute before I get there because the Lord. 5 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,600 When I woke up this morning, he he added some things to this 6 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,640 message. So that means I'm going to have 7 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,000 to eliminate some other things out of the other message. 8 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,240 I didn't know what your song set was going to be, Marcus. 9 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,120 I I didn't know Pastor didn't know. 10 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,960 I didn't tell him what I was going to minister on. 11 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,680 But the song that we sang, I am who I am. 12 00:00:55,650 --> 00:00:58,450 Because the I am tells me who I am. 13 00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:08,130 I'd like to change that I am who I am because the I am already 14 00:01:08,130 --> 00:01:13,650 told me who I am. Now. 15 00:01:13,650 --> 00:01:16,690 I'm not saying he doesn't stop telling you, but he already told 16 00:01:16,690 --> 00:01:22,730 you and a lot of people are are still waiting on God to tell him 17 00:01:22,730 --> 00:01:27,130 something he already told you. He told you through his word, 18 00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:30,370 and he continues to talk to you, but you're too busy on your 19 00:01:30,370 --> 00:01:33,490 device to hear him. You're too busy with your 20 00:01:33,490 --> 00:01:35,890 entertainment to hear him. Now none of you would do that. 21 00:01:35,890 --> 00:01:41,610 Just the people watching haven't helped anybody yet. 22 00:01:43,090 --> 00:01:45,930 So before you post that, because they're they're going to, before 23 00:01:45,930 --> 00:01:48,290 you put that up, I want you to listen to this because they're 24 00:01:48,290 --> 00:01:49,330 going to, they're going to cheat. 25 00:01:50,730 --> 00:01:53,810 That is really a nice a nice graphic. 26 00:01:57,090 --> 00:02:00,530 But as I told the parents, we're staying in a hotel this week 27 00:02:00,530 --> 00:02:04,250 where they're having a mini Comic Con 100%. 28 00:02:05,330 --> 00:02:08,889 Last night when we went back to the hotel, I dropped Darlene off 29 00:02:08,889 --> 00:02:11,170 the door and I had to park out because the parking lot is just 30 00:02:11,170 --> 00:02:17,810 packed and I get in in a in a Gandalf walked by me. 31 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:30,800 And and and and then right behind him was Satan, and then 32 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,960 right behind him were, you know. The Three Bears, I mean, it was 33 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:42,240 it was it's an identity crisis convention. 34 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:51,990 These are grown people. They're in costume and their 35 00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:54,430 hair and the whole thing and their makeup and all that. 36 00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:59,670 And I'm talking about grown men. What we got on the elevator 37 00:02:59,670 --> 00:03:04,550 today, We're the only ones dressed up on Sunday, you know, 38 00:03:04,590 --> 00:03:13,870 And I wanted to say we identify with Christ, but I was nice. 39 00:03:13,870 --> 00:03:19,550 I didn't say. But what I want to talk to you 40 00:03:19,550 --> 00:03:22,750 about is. Today is our identification with 41 00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:24,670 Christ. Say that with me. 42 00:03:24,830 --> 00:03:28,630 Our identification with Christ. Say with Christ. 43 00:03:29,150 --> 00:03:30,870 Not just in Christ. With Christ. 44 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:36,830 That's why I like the fact that y'all change. 45 00:03:36,830 --> 00:03:40,550 That chorus instead of God is working for us. 46 00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:42,950 God's working with. Us because that's scriptural. 47 00:03:43,790 --> 00:03:47,110 He's working with us. You know too much of the body of 48 00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:51,860 crisis into. Things like, well, I know God's 49 00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:56,140 able. Is that really the question? 50 00:03:57,260 --> 00:03:59,260 God's ability? Is that really in question? 51 00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:05,780 My Bible says he's more than able, He's more than enough. 52 00:04:06,140 --> 00:04:08,620 So his ability is never in question. 53 00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:12,860 Or if God's willing, that's never the question. 54 00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:17,220 It is His will. So. 55 00:04:18,860 --> 00:04:21,140 Regarding our identification with Christ, this is what the 56 00:04:21,140 --> 00:04:22,740 world gave me this morning. I put it in my phone. 57 00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:27,860 Our identity. Mindedness versus image 58 00:04:27,980 --> 00:04:31,740 mindedness. You see, the world today is 59 00:04:31,740 --> 00:04:36,020 consumed with image. What do I look like? 60 00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:38,420 And I I'm not even talking about the world. 61 00:04:38,620 --> 00:04:48,090 It's crept into the church. I see pastors all the time. 62 00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:53,990 And I mean, they post a selfie every day. 63 00:04:56,430 --> 00:04:58,830 Really. I'm not talking about family 64 00:04:58,830 --> 00:05:01,150 photos. I'm not talking about grandkids. 65 00:05:01,150 --> 00:05:03,870 I'm not talking about, you know, stuff to do with ministry. 66 00:05:03,910 --> 00:05:07,710 I'm talking about a picture of themselves every day. 67 00:05:10,470 --> 00:05:19,070 And there's some with their shirts off and their wife is 68 00:05:19,070 --> 00:05:21,570 not. I mean, if you're on the beach, 69 00:05:21,570 --> 00:05:25,170 that's a different thing, but how much you're on the beach, 70 00:05:26,450 --> 00:05:29,610 especially where in my area you got to go a long way to find the 71 00:05:29,610 --> 00:05:38,290 beach, but yet their clothes are hanging off and there's a church 72 00:05:38,290 --> 00:05:49,130 in our town that they, I was telling pastors that they very 73 00:05:49,130 --> 00:05:52,830 image conscious. Derek's family used to attend 74 00:05:52,830 --> 00:05:57,830 that Church of very image conscious and and they their 75 00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:59,750 men's ministry was BYOB and that. 76 00:05:59,790 --> 00:06:03,950 It doesn't mean Bible. Bring your own bottle to the 77 00:06:03,950 --> 00:06:06,350 men's ministry. How's that going to work? 78 00:06:07,750 --> 00:06:10,390 Well, that pastor's now gone. Why? 79 00:06:10,590 --> 00:06:12,030 Because the church got so carnal. 80 00:06:12,030 --> 00:06:15,070 I'm talking about breast augmentations and all kinds of 81 00:06:15,070 --> 00:06:16,830 things. Because everybody's image and 82 00:06:16,830 --> 00:06:20,270 therefore there was multiple adulteries even in the staff, 83 00:06:20,270 --> 00:06:22,630 multiple adultery. And why does that happen? 84 00:06:22,750 --> 00:06:27,710 How does that happen to a church, a socalled spirit field 85 00:06:27,710 --> 00:06:29,470 church? How does that happen? 86 00:06:30,990 --> 00:06:35,790 Because your image conscious instead of identity conscious. 87 00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:40,230 You're so concerned about how you look and and please take a 88 00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:41,310 bath. Please take a shower. 89 00:06:41,310 --> 00:06:43,670 Please put on some smell good. Please do that. 90 00:06:43,910 --> 00:06:50,590 Brush your toothpaste. That's what my son said as a 91 00:06:50,590 --> 00:06:53,990 little boy. So I still say that that's 40 92 00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:59,070 years ago. I still remember that, so please 93 00:06:59,590 --> 00:07:02,950 be clean and modest and but come on. 94 00:07:04,190 --> 00:07:07,270 Be more concerned about your identity of who you are in 95 00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:09,550 Christ and who he's made you to be. 96 00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:14,310 Then who you want man to perceive you as being. 97 00:07:16,430 --> 00:07:21,270 That's your image, and we're going to get to the right kind 98 00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:27,750 of image in scripture today. But if he's just 612 says this 99 00:07:27,750 --> 00:07:31,110 you can put it up for we. And this is the amplified We are 100 00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:32,950 not wrestling with flesh and blood. 101 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,680 Contending only with physical opponents, Wrestling. 102 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,000 That means contending fighting. We're in a fight, we're in a 103 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,920 warfare, I said to the families yesterday. 104 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,920 We're in spiritual combat. But a lot of church. 105 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,760 The church didn't get the memo and so that is real casual. 106 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,520 And they're Christianity. I love Jesus. 107 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,840 I love him so much. I love Jesus. 108 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,520 Yes, I do. I love Jesus. 109 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:05,780 How about you? And they're kind of cheerleaders 110 00:08:05,780 --> 00:08:12,340 for Jesus instead of in the army of Christ. 111 00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:21,300 You know, I, I don't know if you realize it, but your pastors are 112 00:08:22,020 --> 00:08:36,450 stinking, spiritually militant. And I'm, I don't mean that in a 113 00:08:36,450 --> 00:08:42,929 negative connotation whatsoever. So we wrestle not against flesh 114 00:08:42,929 --> 00:08:46,530 and but so we're in a fight. This is New Testament, right? 115 00:08:47,170 --> 00:08:49,210 This is out of the book of Ephesians, which I shared with 116 00:08:49,210 --> 00:08:52,810 the people yesterday. But the the book of Ephesians is 117 00:08:52,810 --> 00:08:56,410 a it is an authority book every single chapter. 118 00:08:58,690 --> 00:09:01,730 If you want to learn of who you are in Christ, first of all read 119 00:09:01,730 --> 00:09:04,190 Romans. And then get over to Ephesians 120 00:09:04,190 --> 00:09:08,110 as fast as you can. Find out your positional 121 00:09:08,110 --> 00:09:11,030 authority and how you're supposed to be dressing. 122 00:09:11,310 --> 00:09:19,910 Because you can't fight very well when you're naked, so 123 00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:24,230 contending only with physical. So we're not contending only 124 00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:29,830 with physical opponents, but against despotism. 125 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:40,720 Against the powers against They are powers against the master 126 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:46,600 spirits. We're not just fighting little 127 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,960 Sissy demons now some Christians. 128 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,200 All it takes is a Sissy demon to get them off track. 129 00:09:57,550 --> 00:10:03,670 We're we're fighting against master spirits who are. 130 00:10:04,850 --> 00:10:08,330 The world rulers in this present darkness, of this present 131 00:10:08,330 --> 00:10:12,690 darkness. Now they're operating on earth, 132 00:10:13,570 --> 00:10:17,490 but primarily they're in the high places, the heavenly 133 00:10:17,490 --> 00:10:27,690 places, not in heaven. They got evicted umpteen million 134 00:10:27,690 --> 00:10:29,450 years ago, or however long it was. 135 00:10:29,450 --> 00:10:31,770 We don't really know. We don't have a calendar for 136 00:10:31,770 --> 00:10:33,330 when the devil got kicked out of heaven. 137 00:10:35,490 --> 00:10:38,010 There's no date that that depicts that. 138 00:10:40,530 --> 00:10:45,530 That's the only rebellion that there's ever been in the 3rd 139 00:10:45,530 --> 00:10:48,690 Heaven. But the other rebellion is still 140 00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:56,810 going on in the Heavenlies. That's why John the only First 141 00:10:56,810 --> 00:11:06,270 Baptist. John said repent, for the 142 00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:14,790 Kingdom of heaven is at hand, not the 3rd heaven, not a 143 00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:17,590 capital H, not where God resides. 144 00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:22,670 He's talking about the Heavenlies. 145 00:11:26,350 --> 00:11:30,070 Repent. Change the way you think the 146 00:11:30,070 --> 00:11:31,630 word repent in the New Testament. 147 00:11:32,170 --> 00:11:39,370 Is not a holy term. It was a commonly used term in 148 00:11:39,370 --> 00:11:45,690 the Greek that depicts changing the way you think, In other 149 00:11:45,690 --> 00:11:49,490 words, have a paradigm shift in the way you think about things. 150 00:11:50,250 --> 00:11:53,010 And he's appealing to the religious people of the day. 151 00:11:53,210 --> 00:11:55,290 These are all Jews he's preaching to. 152 00:11:55,730 --> 00:11:57,530 Not even Gentiles. They're all Jews. 153 00:11:57,690 --> 00:11:59,690 You're going to have to change the way you're thinking. 154 00:11:59,930 --> 00:12:02,730 You're no longer going to be able to serve God like you used 155 00:12:02,730 --> 00:12:04,850 to. There's a new sheriff come to 156 00:12:04,850 --> 00:12:07,170 town. He's greater than I I'm not even 157 00:12:07,170 --> 00:12:10,050 able to tie his shoelaces. I'm not. 158 00:12:10,090 --> 00:12:14,050 Even able to carry his sandals, I don't even come close to him. 159 00:12:15,530 --> 00:12:17,810 What does Jesus say about John, the only First Baptist? 160 00:12:17,970 --> 00:12:22,170 He says the greatest man whoever lived coming from Jesus. 161 00:12:22,170 --> 00:12:25,170 That's that's. I mean, Jesus knows all things. 162 00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:28,580 And he said that about John, the only First Baptist. 163 00:12:34,750 --> 00:12:37,790 When I played the Friday night light school, it's Odessa, TX, 164 00:12:37,830 --> 00:12:40,350 West, TX. And there was even an 11th 165 00:12:40,350 --> 00:12:42,310 Baptist Church. There's so many splits. 166 00:12:44,590 --> 00:12:48,750 I mean, do you proudly go to the 11th Baptist Church? 167 00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:56,550 I mean, come on. So John said, Repent ye for the 168 00:12:56,550 --> 00:13:00,390 Kingdom of heaven as a hand. And we know that Jesus showed up 169 00:13:00,390 --> 00:13:02,710 in the next chapter. That's Matthew 3, Matthew 4. 170 00:13:02,790 --> 00:13:08,790 Jesus showed up desiring to be baptized by John and the river 171 00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:11,630 Jordan. He was not only water baptized, 172 00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:16,030 he was Spirit baptized in that river where the Holy Spirit 173 00:13:16,030 --> 00:13:19,830 descended upon him like a dove and gave him the Spirit without 174 00:13:19,830 --> 00:13:28,360 measure. What was his first message? 175 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,610 Repent. For the Kingdom of heaven is 176 00:13:32,610 --> 00:13:35,850 ahead. He plagiarized John the Baddest, 177 00:13:40,730 --> 00:13:44,890 and people talk about us. Well, that's just Kenneth Hagan 178 00:13:45,530 --> 00:13:48,490 message. You're just copying Kenneth 179 00:13:48,530 --> 00:13:50,450 Hagan. Jesus, copy John the baddest. 180 00:13:50,450 --> 00:14:00,650 So shut up. No, don't teach your children to 181 00:14:00,650 --> 00:14:03,250 say shut up. Teach them not to say shut up. 182 00:14:04,610 --> 00:14:10,030 But. It was the same message Jesus 183 00:14:10,030 --> 00:14:15,750 had that John the Baptist had. Same Holy Ghost, same plan of 184 00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:18,350 God. For the Kingdom of heaven is a 185 00:14:18,350 --> 00:14:19,790 hand. In other words, what's he 186 00:14:19,790 --> 00:14:24,390 saying? The Kingdom of the heavenlies is 187 00:14:24,390 --> 00:14:27,510 now open. It's an open heaven. 188 00:14:28,390 --> 00:14:31,510 It's now open and you're going to have to learn to operate. 189 00:14:31,930 --> 00:14:34,290 In the heavens, you're going to have to learn to take your 190 00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:37,010 authority to a new degree and to a new level. 191 00:14:37,170 --> 00:14:38,930 It's going to It's going to have to be against these 192 00:14:38,930 --> 00:14:42,610 principalities and powers. In other words, your rituals are 193 00:14:42,610 --> 00:14:46,730 no longer going to be able to worship God like we did in the 194 00:14:46,730 --> 00:14:49,330 Old Covenant. The New Covenant is different. 195 00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,850 Now let's put that back. Back up guys, if you would. 196 00:14:55,730 --> 00:14:58,810 So we we we fight. We war. 197 00:14:58,810 --> 00:15:04,610 We wrestle against the rulers. In this present darkness, be a 198 00:15:04,610 --> 00:15:08,250 good title of a book. OK, some of you don't know that. 199 00:15:08,250 --> 00:15:10,610 All right. Against the spirit forces, say 200 00:15:10,610 --> 00:15:13,610 spirit forces. What are they? 201 00:15:13,610 --> 00:15:17,770 Forces of wickedness and the heavenly or the supernatural 202 00:15:18,290 --> 00:15:22,130 sphere? They're everywhere. 203 00:15:25,010 --> 00:15:29,890 They're at Walmart. They used to be at Ponce de Leon 204 00:15:29,890 --> 00:15:32,160 Mall, but they they got. They got evicted. 205 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,880 So this is what the Spirit of God said to me this morning. 206 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,720 He gave me that scripture. But he said the gravitational 207 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:52,400 forces of this fallen world are continually warring against 208 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,720 mankind to recruit us to join their ranks. 209 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,910 Their purpose? To join the spiritually 210 00:16:01,910 --> 00:16:06,630 rebellious entities against Christ and his Kingdom, 211 00:16:08,030 --> 00:16:14,910 ultimately to take you to hell, but they have zero authority, 212 00:16:14,910 --> 00:16:22,710 say 0 authority to do so without your consent and cooperation 213 00:16:24,310 --> 00:16:29,030 either through outright rebellion or. 214 00:16:29,820 --> 00:16:35,260 This is the danger thing here for any church or will, for 215 00:16:35,380 --> 00:16:39,620 willful ignorance of the church in the church. 216 00:16:40,340 --> 00:16:43,420 There are people in this room watching, listening, that are 217 00:16:43,420 --> 00:16:48,020 willfully ignorant of the truth, willfully ignorant of who they 218 00:16:48,020 --> 00:16:50,460 are in Christ. How do you know that? 219 00:16:50,980 --> 00:16:56,860 I've heard them. Talk you don't have the right 220 00:16:56,860 --> 00:16:58,870 language. You don't have the language of 221 00:16:58,870 --> 00:17:00,190 faith. You don't have the language of 222 00:17:00,190 --> 00:17:02,590 authority. You're the language of a victim. 223 00:17:04,630 --> 00:17:08,390 It's a common language today. Everybody's against me. 224 00:17:08,670 --> 00:17:11,670 Life is so unfair. What scripture says life is 225 00:17:11,670 --> 00:17:13,470 fair? Where is that found? 226 00:17:18,349 --> 00:17:23,390 Their efforts are totally futile, talking about the 227 00:17:23,390 --> 00:17:26,089 spirits. Their their efforts are totally 228 00:17:26,089 --> 00:17:29,770 futile against believers who know their position in Christ's 229 00:17:29,770 --> 00:17:36,130 Kingdom and are growing in their positional authority in Him. 230 00:17:36,970 --> 00:17:40,330 I want to repeat it again. Their efforts, these spirits, 231 00:17:40,330 --> 00:17:44,610 these forces, these powers, these despotisms, these master 232 00:17:44,610 --> 00:17:49,050 spirits, these world rulers in the present darkness their their 233 00:17:49,050 --> 00:17:54,070 efforts are futile. Against the believers who know 234 00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:58,430 their position in Christ's Kingdom and who are growing, 235 00:17:58,550 --> 00:18:07,190 say, growing, not resting, not plateauing, who are growing. 236 00:18:08,430 --> 00:18:15,270 And the only way to grow is to change your mind to repent. 237 00:18:21,330 --> 00:18:24,010 You know that you develop we as humanoids. 238 00:18:24,130 --> 00:18:26,130 We develop bad habits very quickly. 239 00:18:27,570 --> 00:18:31,570 Only takes seven days to build a bad habit into your routine. 240 00:18:31,610 --> 00:18:35,210 Seven days, that's all. Takes 21 days to break it, and 241 00:18:35,210 --> 00:18:37,330 that's aggressively 21 days breaking. 242 00:18:37,330 --> 00:18:46,410 It so we we easily pick up all kinds of goofy things because 243 00:18:47,970 --> 00:18:49,890 maybe be Pastor Frank for a moment. 244 00:18:51,730 --> 00:19:03,050 Because we have too many voices that we lend our ears to even 245 00:19:03,570 --> 00:19:16,430 supposed Christian voices. The great man is from the South, 246 00:19:17,310 --> 00:19:22,570 is now in heaven. He did a masterful work at 247 00:19:22,570 --> 00:19:28,330 getting people born again and baptized and set free and master 248 00:19:28,330 --> 00:19:32,330 teacher. And he's a closet charismatic 249 00:19:33,610 --> 00:19:38,570 reason I know that is because I have a friend who's spoken to, a 250 00:19:38,570 --> 00:19:45,610 staffer, a great man of prayer and honor and integrity, but 251 00:19:45,610 --> 00:19:47,050 he's in heaven now. But they. 252 00:19:47,570 --> 00:19:50,970 Have a series that's going on right now on his television show 253 00:19:51,130 --> 00:19:55,570 where they they're just replaying those things and it's 254 00:19:55,650 --> 00:20:01,410 talking about how God uses adversity to position you. 255 00:20:04,130 --> 00:20:07,370 Well, I was interested in it. What's he going to say here? 256 00:20:07,610 --> 00:20:11,370 And he used Paul thorn in the flesh, and he was saying that 257 00:20:11,370 --> 00:20:15,490 God gave that thorn in the flesh to the Apostle Paul. 258 00:20:17,070 --> 00:20:19,150 To grow him. To change him. 259 00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:23,990 Here's the problem with that. The Bible says turn your. 260 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:28,150 Never say. The Bible says that the thorn in 261 00:20:28,150 --> 00:20:30,870 the flesh was a messenger from Satan. 262 00:20:35,550 --> 00:20:39,310 So God and the devil are working in cahoots to to position you. 263 00:20:39,790 --> 00:20:46,380 I think not. But yet he's a good Baptist and 264 00:20:46,380 --> 00:20:51,380 therefore a good Baptist has to interject that stuff that's in 265 00:20:51,380 --> 00:20:55,220 their doctrines. It's scary. 266 00:20:56,260 --> 00:20:58,340 Have you found Galatians too yet? 267 00:20:58,740 --> 00:21:04,660 I've been waiting on you. Galatians is right after Second 268 00:21:04,660 --> 00:21:07,900 Corinthians. Most of us can quote this out of 269 00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:10,540 the King Jimmy and says I am crucified with Christ. 270 00:21:10,540 --> 00:21:14,200 Nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ live within me and 271 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,520 the life that I now which I now live in the flesh. 272 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,200 I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave 273 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,640 himself for me. But let's look at the screen 274 00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:27,400 amplifies a bit different. I have been say I have been. 275 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,320 Now it says in the King James I am. 276 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,640 But actually it's a mistranslation because the 277 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:41,680 original Greek says I was past tense was have been right. 278 00:21:42,540 --> 00:21:44,660 So I have been crucified with Christ in him. 279 00:21:44,660 --> 00:21:47,540 I shared his crucifixion. How did I share his crucifixion? 280 00:21:47,540 --> 00:21:49,820 I wasn't there. I I wasn't there physically. 281 00:21:49,980 --> 00:21:51,780 You know, I I watched Passion of the Christ. 282 00:21:51,780 --> 00:21:53,780 I've seen all these other movies about the crucifixion, but I 283 00:21:53,780 --> 00:21:55,540 wasn't there. I just watched it. 284 00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:57,500 I wasn't there. How did I share? 285 00:21:57,780 --> 00:22:02,620 Whose sin was it? It was your sin. 286 00:22:02,620 --> 00:22:06,380 It was my sin. Jesus never sinned. 287 00:22:07,020 --> 00:22:11,300 It says that sector of Christmas 521 and him he who knew no sin 288 00:22:12,540 --> 00:22:18,460 became sin, was made to be sinned, that through him we 289 00:22:18,460 --> 00:22:22,420 might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. 290 00:22:22,860 --> 00:22:26,420 He never knew sin, he never sinned, but he suffered as if he 291 00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:29,700 did. He never sinned even. 292 00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:32,380 When he ran the money changers out of the temple and turned 293 00:22:32,380 --> 00:22:36,380 over the tables, he even made his own whip. 294 00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:48,000 It was a premeditated weapon, and he didn't repent one time. 295 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,640 God, I know I'm thinking these. Wrong thoughts about this 296 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,280 weapon. I'm weaving it, making it. 297 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,240 Oh oh, I need some teeth and I need some bone. 298 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,840 I need some metal. That's what the whips were made 299 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,000 out of back there. I don't need the right kind of 300 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,080 Oh my God, I oh, just please forgive me for making it, but I 301 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,200 really need some other. He made it himself. 302 00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:11,320 He took the time to find the components and weave it. 303 00:23:13,050 --> 00:23:14,810 And he still didn't send doing that. 304 00:23:14,810 --> 00:23:17,610 Why? Well, didn't he love all those 305 00:23:17,610 --> 00:23:20,050 money changers? You mean those people that were 306 00:23:20,050 --> 00:23:25,090 lying and cheating and deceitful and ripping off all the people 307 00:23:25,090 --> 00:23:27,610 that were coming in for the sacrifice? 308 00:23:27,810 --> 00:23:31,050 And they didn't have their own spotless lamb, and so they were 309 00:23:31,050 --> 00:23:35,410 providing them a spotless lamb, supposedly for an exorbitantly 310 00:23:35,450 --> 00:23:38,210 outrageous price. They were taking advantage of 311 00:23:38,210 --> 00:23:41,550 these people. And Jesus was protecting them. 312 00:23:41,950 --> 00:23:44,710 This is supposed to be a House of prayer, and you've made it. 313 00:23:44,710 --> 00:23:52,990 Identities, you bunch of losers. Well, that's not very nice, 314 00:23:52,990 --> 00:23:56,670 It's. Militant, wasn't it? 315 00:23:57,990 --> 00:24:03,510 I said it was militant. You know who you love more? 316 00:24:04,750 --> 00:24:08,350 The people that are being ripped off, the disadvantaged. 317 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,160 Hello. The people being cheated and 318 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,840 lied to. That's who we love more, but 319 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,840 even more so. You know who he loved the most? 320 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,680 He loved the word, and he loved God. 321 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,400 And he wasn't going to allow the House of God to be soiled. 322 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,400 Hello. It's time for the church to 323 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,760 stand up like Jesus. It's time for the church to stop 324 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,370 being mamsy Pamsy. I'm not talking about making a 325 00:24:38,370 --> 00:24:41,490 whip. Don't make one ordered on 326 00:24:41,490 --> 00:24:45,170 Amazon. I'm kidding. 327 00:24:50,410 --> 00:24:51,570 No, don't make a whip. We're not. 328 00:24:51,690 --> 00:24:52,370 We're not. We're not. 329 00:24:52,450 --> 00:24:54,450 We're not wrestling against flesh and blood. 330 00:24:57,090 --> 00:24:59,330 But Jesus didn't know the scripture was going to come 331 00:24:59,330 --> 00:25:00,570 later. No, he did. 332 00:25:00,570 --> 00:25:02,290 He's the one who orchestrated this. 333 00:25:02,330 --> 00:25:10,130 He's the word. But we can't be operating just 334 00:25:10,130 --> 00:25:15,130 from a fleshly motivation. Jesus wasn't operating from a 335 00:25:15,130 --> 00:25:17,210 fleshly motivation at the temple. 336 00:25:18,170 --> 00:25:20,650 He was operating by from a spiritual motivation. 337 00:25:22,370 --> 00:25:25,210 It's just like, you know, I don't go to many football games 338 00:25:25,210 --> 00:25:27,850 and sit in the stands. If I can't stand on the 339 00:25:27,850 --> 00:25:31,010 sidelines or the side and get down there where the action is, 340 00:25:31,050 --> 00:25:35,140 I probably won't go. Because I played there. 341 00:25:35,140 --> 00:25:39,140 I played at these stadiums in these high level places. 342 00:25:39,820 --> 00:25:41,300 As a high school and a college athlete. 343 00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:45,700 I played in every pro stadium in Texas and every major college 344 00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:48,540 stadium in Texas and even in the Southwest and all over the 345 00:25:48,540 --> 00:25:51,100 country, played in many, many stadiums. 346 00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:54,900 So I didn't play up in the bleachers. 347 00:25:56,380 --> 00:26:00,540 I was down on the field. So even now, I I probably won't 348 00:26:00,540 --> 00:26:06,940 buy a ticket because I want to be where the action is. 349 00:26:08,660 --> 00:26:12,820 I I want to be able to smell that sweat. 350 00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:20,220 I want to be able to high five and chest bump those guys coming 351 00:26:20,220 --> 00:26:21,980 off the field when they make a great play. 352 00:26:23,980 --> 00:26:27,660 But you know what I what I I've had to be reeled in on. 353 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:37,400 When I see a dirty play and the officials refused to throw a 354 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,760 flag, I'm talking about tackling somebody out of bounds, punching 355 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,040 them under the pile, that kind of stuff, kicking them, gouging 356 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,720 them in the eyeballs. I've seen it on the sidelines 357 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,760 and the officials don't see it. That's where I kind of come 358 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,720 unglued. Why? 359 00:26:58,650 --> 00:27:02,770 Because I'm in created in the image of Christ and he doesn't 360 00:27:02,770 --> 00:27:07,970 like unfair life. That's my motivation now. 361 00:27:12,370 --> 00:27:15,490 And so I said some things, not ugly, not me. 362 00:27:16,570 --> 00:27:20,690 I said, Sir, did you not see? Did you not see that? 363 00:27:22,090 --> 00:27:25,810 Did you not see? He just gouged him in the eyes. 364 00:27:26,820 --> 00:27:28,900 I mean, his eyes are bleeding. Did you not see that? 365 00:27:30,180 --> 00:27:31,740 But don't look at me in that tone of voice. 366 00:27:36,180 --> 00:27:39,660 Angie knows this. Our son played basketball at 367 00:27:39,660 --> 00:27:43,460 Raymond, and during those three years, Pastor Hagan always had 368 00:27:43,460 --> 00:27:47,060 me sit beside him. I couldn't get the seat right 369 00:27:47,060 --> 00:27:48,300 next to him because I get elbowed. 370 00:27:49,900 --> 00:27:53,620 But there's a seat down. I saw him take off his glasses, 371 00:27:53,940 --> 00:27:55,220 try to hand them to the officials. 372 00:27:57,230 --> 00:27:59,470 Here you need this more than. I do. 373 00:28:01,150 --> 00:28:03,110 So don't look at me in that tone of voice. 374 00:28:04,230 --> 00:28:10,910 He's from Texas, too. Why? 375 00:28:12,070 --> 00:28:13,830 Because we don't like unfairness. 376 00:28:15,430 --> 00:28:19,630 We don't like cheating. We don't like the the underdog 377 00:28:19,710 --> 00:28:21,710 getting ripped off and cheated. We don't. 378 00:28:21,830 --> 00:28:24,750 We don't like the disadvantage being taken advantage of. 379 00:28:24,750 --> 00:28:27,910 Come on. And that riled up Jesus. 380 00:28:30,310 --> 00:28:36,830 So here we are. We shared in this crucifixion 381 00:28:36,990 --> 00:28:39,630 because it was our sin. It said it's no longer I who 382 00:28:39,630 --> 00:28:42,150 live, but Christ. The Messiah lives in me. 383 00:28:42,750 --> 00:28:52,950 So some of that, some of that whipping is in us, some of that 384 00:28:52,950 --> 00:28:59,820 fight is in us and it needs. To be We've been too passive. 385 00:29:00,980 --> 00:29:04,660 The church has been silent. We're called the Silent witness 386 00:29:04,660 --> 00:29:07,980 or the Silent majority, Silent Witness. 387 00:29:08,260 --> 00:29:10,020 Those words don't even go together. 388 00:29:11,220 --> 00:29:18,500 That's like saying jumbo shrimp. Excuse me, that doesn't go 389 00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:25,460 together. And the life that I now live, 390 00:29:25,460 --> 00:29:28,420 say I now live. The life that I now live in the 391 00:29:28,420 --> 00:29:32,900 body or in the flesh, I live differently. 392 00:29:32,900 --> 00:29:36,140 In other words, I live by faith. Say by faith. 393 00:29:38,020 --> 00:29:40,780 Here's our problem. This is our problem. 394 00:29:44,220 --> 00:29:46,540 Most of us have some type of device like this. 395 00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:49,260 This is not really just a. Phone and a camera. 396 00:29:49,380 --> 00:29:51,780 This is a computer that has a phone and a camera. 397 00:29:52,580 --> 00:29:54,980 It's really a computer. There's more technology in this 398 00:29:54,980 --> 00:29:58,740 than what they sent Man in the Moon with in 1969. 399 00:30:00,740 --> 00:30:03,380 I never forget that night. We see it on TV. 400 00:30:03,380 --> 00:30:07,060 We run outside, look up there at that man, my brother and I, Wow, 401 00:30:07,060 --> 00:30:08,420 they're up there. I think I see him. 402 00:30:11,300 --> 00:30:14,790 Something shiny up there. We run inside, man. 403 00:30:14,790 --> 00:30:17,430 They just jumped off the ladder. They're running around kicking 404 00:30:17,430 --> 00:30:19,550 that dust. Well, this set up the American 405 00:30:19,550 --> 00:30:20,590 flag. You think we can see it? 406 00:30:20,590 --> 00:30:22,590 We got some. But doctors, we of course, we 407 00:30:22,590 --> 00:30:24,110 can't see it. But man, was it. 408 00:30:24,470 --> 00:30:27,910 Anybody remember that night? Wow, it was so cool. 409 00:30:28,510 --> 00:30:31,870 Well, that was just down on a sound stage in Los Angeles. 410 00:30:32,590 --> 00:30:35,150 No, it wasn't all these conspiracy there. 411 00:30:35,150 --> 00:30:39,550 Come on, get a life. 9/11 was an inside job. 412 00:30:39,550 --> 00:30:41,270 It really didn't happen. Come on. 413 00:30:42,990 --> 00:30:47,710 I was there three weeks after I had a friend that lost eleven. 414 00:30:47,710 --> 00:30:52,470 Buddies at the Pentagon went to all their funerals. 415 00:30:54,350 --> 00:30:56,830 Don't tell me it was the inside that wasn't the plane that hit 416 00:30:56,830 --> 00:30:58,470 the Pentagon. Come on. 417 00:31:00,470 --> 00:31:03,710 The Internet has something stupid in it every moment. 418 00:31:04,830 --> 00:31:06,990 Don't buy the don't buy the lies. 419 00:31:07,630 --> 00:31:08,910 Come on. Hello. 420 00:31:11,470 --> 00:31:15,400 If it's in the media, most of it's not true. 421 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:25,480 I know that's a shock to some people, so, but this is what we 422 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:31,280 do with these these devices we have. 423 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,240 All of us have this. If you got a tablet, whatever, 424 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,000 you got all these apps on there, right? 425 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:45,480 I got page after page after page of apps applications, right? 426 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,080 Do you have to have those applications for your phone to 427 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,040 work? No. 428 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:58,080 But those apps have to have an 0 S or an operating system to 429 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,320 work. This is what we've. 430 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,360 Done in the church, and many preachers are fought for this. 431 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:12,910 We've made faith an app. Just to meet our needs instead 432 00:32:12,910 --> 00:32:17,590 of living by it. Instead of walking by faith. 433 00:32:17,870 --> 00:32:20,870 We're we just. Well, I'm sick, so I better we 434 00:32:20,870 --> 00:32:23,230 try everything else. Let's just try faith. 435 00:32:23,910 --> 00:32:26,790 You don't try faith, darling. This is what it says. 436 00:32:27,030 --> 00:32:29,710 You stick with it. You adhere to it. 437 00:32:29,870 --> 00:32:31,910 You don't try. You stick to it. 438 00:32:32,150 --> 00:32:36,910 You never leave it. You rely on it. 439 00:32:37,670 --> 00:32:40,070 And you have complete trust in faith. 440 00:32:41,390 --> 00:32:44,110 This is not an up. This is not an application. 441 00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:47,190 It's an operating system. And we're all commanded. 442 00:32:47,470 --> 00:32:53,110 The just shall live by faith not, might live not. 443 00:32:53,110 --> 00:32:56,070 Well, why don't you try it for a while, see if it's for you. 444 00:32:58,260 --> 00:33:01,340 A lot of your fleshly, flaky, funky religious friends, I just 445 00:33:01,340 --> 00:33:05,060 say spiritual religious friends say, well, I've tried that faith 446 00:33:05,060 --> 00:33:08,380 and I'm just so glad it worked for you, but it just didn't work 447 00:33:08,380 --> 00:33:12,940 for me. Well, God's a liar then, isn't 448 00:33:12,940 --> 00:33:16,140 he? And they're smarter than God. 449 00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:25,380 We've got to live by faith. It's necessary. 450 00:33:26,740 --> 00:33:31,870 You cannot ever gain your true identity and who you are in 451 00:33:31,870 --> 00:33:35,670 Christ, and what He's already made you to be, And what are we 452 00:33:35,790 --> 00:33:41,670 already He is identified to you. And told you you are if you 453 00:33:41,670 --> 00:33:45,590 don't want by faith. If you don't live by faith. 454 00:33:46,670 --> 00:33:48,790 Faith is not optional for a believer. 455 00:33:50,750 --> 00:33:54,550 You mean it's come to that the believer should actually 456 00:33:55,030 --> 00:34:03,680 believe? That's pretty scary thought. 457 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:14,600 You see those wicked forces that we read about Ephesians 6? 458 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,639 Those wicked forces are working overtime today and trying to 459 00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:23,639 reidentify and reconstitute what's in the word. 460 00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:27,610 They're trying to change what's there. 461 00:34:28,130 --> 00:34:31,810 You got these preachers that say, well, the Bible is obsolete 462 00:34:31,810 --> 00:34:35,570 today. It's not modern, it's. 463 00:34:35,690 --> 00:34:37,810 Old school. It's not old school. 464 00:34:37,810 --> 00:34:47,770 It's eternal. There's only one school, 465 00:34:47,770 --> 00:34:53,330 darling, and that's his way. The way. 466 00:34:55,199 --> 00:35:01,360 And it's critical that we join forces with what he has already 467 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,760 done. Get the mentality out of your 468 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,880 brain. Well, I know what Sunday. 469 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,080 God's going to do something for me. 470 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:12,800 He's already done it. Jesus is not going to cross 471 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,920 again. He's not going to be at the 472 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,000 whipping post again. He's not going to the pit of 473 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000 hell and and the pit of the earth again. 474 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:25,100 He's risen. And that same resurrection power 475 00:35:25,100 --> 00:35:27,860 lives on the inside of us as believers. 476 00:35:33,820 --> 00:35:36,620 So what are we doing as the church? 477 00:35:38,020 --> 00:35:41,060 We're playing church, not this church. 478 00:35:43,580 --> 00:35:47,940 Some of you are new and you're just coming into this and you've 479 00:35:47,940 --> 00:35:50,100 already recognized. Wow. 480 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:57,920 These people are wow. They actually sing the song 481 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,000 instead of just watching the concert. 482 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:12,690 You. May ask the question, what does 483 00:36:13,890 --> 00:36:17,050 identification with Christ actually mean? 484 00:36:17,770 --> 00:36:22,410 It's a good question. Simply stated, it's complete 485 00:36:22,410 --> 00:36:26,670 union with him. It's not, it's not this. 486 00:36:29,790 --> 00:36:31,070 It's not just hanging around him. 487 00:36:32,110 --> 00:36:41,030 Complete union with him in him. Over 175 verses in the epistles, 488 00:36:41,710 --> 00:36:43,950 which when I got born again, I thought those were the apostles 489 00:36:43,950 --> 00:36:48,310 wives, but I was young and ignorant. 490 00:36:48,310 --> 00:36:50,230 I didn't know who. I didn't know anything 491 00:36:50,230 --> 00:36:52,110 spiritually. I I wasn't raised in church. 492 00:36:52,230 --> 00:36:53,430 I didn't know what the epistles were. 493 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,880 And I I I played like I knew what they were. 494 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,040 When people say, well, turn to the epistle of it and I'm going, 495 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,360 I'll just look around and see what everybody else is doing, 496 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,440 because I don't know what that means. 497 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,720 Epistle of what it means. Letters. 498 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,800 So if you hadn't been in church, you don't know these 499 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:16,040 terminologies. So identification with Christ 500 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,840 simply means complete union with him. 501 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,080 It's our identification who and who he's made us to be. 502 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,100 Turn over to Romans. Oh, if you get into Romans, it's 503 00:37:25,100 --> 00:37:28,180 hard to get out. You need to read Romans on a 504 00:37:28,180 --> 00:37:31,980 regular basis. Romans is a treasure trove. 505 00:37:32,660 --> 00:37:37,260 It's filled with revelation of who we used to be and what he's 506 00:37:37,260 --> 00:37:40,860 made us into. Now our redemption is all 507 00:37:40,860 --> 00:37:43,380 through Romans. It's not just something to beat 508 00:37:43,380 --> 00:37:45,580 somebody up to get them saved and tell them how. 509 00:37:45,980 --> 00:37:51,180 For all the fallen, short of the glory of God, there is none 510 00:37:51,180 --> 00:37:54,280 righteous, no, no one. That's not the end of those 511 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:55,760 chapters. Keep reading. 512 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,680 Yes, we we were unrighteous at one time. 513 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,800 Yes, we we. We we all fell short of the 514 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,640 glory God. But no more. 515 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:14,240 As a believer, I'll prove it to you in a minute, Roman chapter 6 516 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,840 verse six says Knowing this. Say what? 517 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,640 Knowing. Not knowing about it. 518 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,280 You need to know this. There's the problem. 519 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,240 Most of the body of Christ doesn't know the word. 520 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,120 They don't know who they are. Because if you don't know the 521 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,080 word, you don't know who you are. 522 00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:36,720 And that goes for every teenager in this room. 523 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,040 You need to know who you are. If you can read, you need to 524 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,040 read your Bible. And you need to make your 525 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,000 bedroom a Bible. School and then instead of an 526 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:50,280 entertainment complex, parents need to pull the plug. 527 00:38:58,460 --> 00:39:03,220 So knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, say 528 00:39:03,220 --> 00:39:08,180 with him. See it's with him that the body 529 00:39:08,180 --> 00:39:10,140 of sin might be destroyed that hits forth. 530 00:39:10,140 --> 00:39:14,220 We should not serve sin. Look at this and the amplified 531 00:39:14,340 --> 00:39:17,900 it says we know. Again, we're not guessing. 532 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,720 Here's the problem with most of the church world. 533 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:26,720 Well, I hope so. I hope I'm going to happen. 534 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,120 I hope. I'm saying it, it's just like I 535 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:34,920 was at Doctor Mark Barclays Church back in the spring at 175 536 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,360 Minute a men's conference. But he held me over and did 537 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,920 Sunday. And as is the case with a lot of 538 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:48,040 these hotels, the weekends are full of either partiers. 539 00:39:48,770 --> 00:39:55,890 Or teams this this was full of baseball teams girls softball 540 00:39:55,890 --> 00:40:02,890 teams and boy was noisy and but I noticed that I was getting 541 00:40:02,890 --> 00:40:04,770 ready the next morning was Saturday morning because we had 542 00:40:04,770 --> 00:40:07,410 Saturday morning sessions noticed getting ready outside 543 00:40:07,410 --> 00:40:10,930 the hall even though the IT was a room full of girls next door. 544 00:40:11,290 --> 00:40:12,970 How do I know? Because it was giggling until 545 00:40:12,970 --> 00:40:17,410 2:00 AM. Just giggling and Sissy and and. 546 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,120 And and boys knocking on the door to check them out, you 547 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,880 know. But the next morning I heard the 548 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,280 coach out in the hallway, which I had not seen. 549 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,480 And so there's a baseball player out there with him, and I didn't 550 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,240 see him either. But there's full baseball teams 551 00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:36,240 at the junior college school and they were having a tournament. 552 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,960 And so there's lots of teams staying in this hotel. 553 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:44,160 And so I hear the coach, Are you ready to take the ball today? 554 00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:49,150 Meaning he's going to be the pitcher and the player says, I 555 00:40:49,550 --> 00:40:52,230 hope so. That's the last thing a coach 556 00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,110 wants to hear. You're going to have the ball in 557 00:40:56,110 --> 00:40:59,830 your hand every single play when we're in the field and you hope 558 00:40:59,830 --> 00:41:03,870 so. Take your jock off and go back 559 00:41:03,870 --> 00:41:07,670 and get your diaper on. That's why my coaches would have 560 00:41:07,670 --> 00:41:16,140 said or worse. I can't, I can't repeat it now. 561 00:41:16,260 --> 00:41:20,900 Now listen to me. When I heard that, the Lord 562 00:41:20,900 --> 00:41:23,020 spoke to me. Lord speaks to me in all kinds 563 00:41:23,020 --> 00:41:27,500 of funny places. The Lord spoke to me and said 564 00:41:28,300 --> 00:41:30,740 that's most of the church. I hope so. 565 00:41:32,860 --> 00:41:35,620 Hope I'm going to heaven. I hope everything's going to 566 00:41:35,620 --> 00:41:37,580 turn around. I hope I can get my healing. 567 00:41:39,980 --> 00:41:41,740 I hope. I hope my ship's coming in. 568 00:41:42,980 --> 00:41:49,830 We're so wussified, and I don't anchor faith. 569 00:41:49,830 --> 00:41:51,110 Church has taught better than that. 570 00:41:53,230 --> 00:41:56,790 But there's probably still some in here and you get a great big 571 00:41:56,790 --> 00:41:59,630 W on your chest. And that doesn't mean Wonder 572 00:41:59,630 --> 00:42:05,910 Woman. And I don't mean that ugly. 573 00:42:07,390 --> 00:42:12,990 I mean that to shock you into reality. 574 00:42:14,150 --> 00:42:20,190 Of what you've got to do. We're supposed to have a warrior 575 00:42:20,190 --> 00:42:22,430 mentality, be a good name for a mascot. 576 00:42:23,150 --> 00:42:25,430 We're supposed to have a militant mentality. 577 00:42:25,550 --> 00:42:28,070 We are. We are the soldiers of Jesus 578 00:42:28,070 --> 00:42:30,270 Christ. Supposed to be the good soldiers 579 00:42:30,270 --> 00:42:31,990 of Jesus Christ. You know what? 580 00:42:31,990 --> 00:42:37,630 Bad soldiers look like my our oldest 2 grandsons are soldiers. 581 00:42:38,070 --> 00:42:40,310 One of them's in Harm Way today in Asia. 582 00:42:40,990 --> 00:42:42,870 I can't tell you where he is because I'd have to shoot you. 583 00:42:43,810 --> 00:42:47,050 No, I'm kidding. I know generally where he is, 584 00:42:47,330 --> 00:42:49,450 but I'm going to find out exactly where he is later 585 00:42:49,450 --> 00:42:51,890 because he can't even tell his own, his his own mom. 586 00:42:51,970 --> 00:42:55,250 He can't tell him where he is and we know where he was and 587 00:42:55,250 --> 00:42:59,490 where he where he flew into into Japan and Okinaw and those kinds 588 00:42:59,490 --> 00:43:01,610 of things. But but that's real general. 589 00:43:02,370 --> 00:43:08,570 But he's a Marine, so he's on a ship and they have to stay in 590 00:43:08,570 --> 00:43:10,570 the belly of that ship. Sometimes they don't even know 591 00:43:10,570 --> 00:43:13,450 where they're going till they dump them out on a beach 592 00:43:13,450 --> 00:43:18,530 somewhere because of Marines. And they're they've seen 593 00:43:18,530 --> 00:43:22,050 bloodshed. It's not in the news, but 594 00:43:22,050 --> 00:43:24,810 neither are the Marines in Syria in the news. 595 00:43:24,810 --> 00:43:27,890 But we got, we got a a battalion of Marines in Syria right now. 596 00:43:28,450 --> 00:43:32,850 We we got Marines in Ukraine. And nobody's telling us that. 597 00:43:33,290 --> 00:43:34,970 Why? Because the media is complicit 598 00:43:34,970 --> 00:43:38,650 with the lies. But you've been around bad 599 00:43:38,650 --> 00:43:41,960 soldiers and this is what he's telling me along with Doctor 600 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:46,000 Barkley, who's a former Marine as well combat vet and rent 601 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,360 combat missions in Vietnam. Have any former Marines here? 602 00:43:52,840 --> 00:44:02,440 Hooyah, hoorah, Army. Look at all the Army, Navy. 603 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:11,680 Thank you, Air Force. No Air Force? 604 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,600 Well, how? How'd the rest of Y'all get 605 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,320 around? You needed transportation. 606 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:25,520 Our oldest grandson's Air Force, and so he's been in harm's way. 607 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,400 But one of the most devastating things? 608 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,240 When he was home for Christmas, he lost two buddies to suicide. 609 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:39,040 Back at this base in California, he's had scores of suicides in 610 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:45,370 his own platoon or, excuse me, his own battalion scores. 611 00:44:46,250 --> 00:44:50,290 Doctor Barkley told me he has a relationship with Oliver North. 612 00:44:50,490 --> 00:44:55,010 It's very difficult to find worthy soldiers today because 613 00:44:55,010 --> 00:45:00,010 they're so soft, because their parents have never told them no. 614 00:45:03,250 --> 00:45:04,890 Well, you get in the military, you're going to hear a lot of 615 00:45:04,890 --> 00:45:08,610 nose and a whole lot of adjectives that go on the nose. 616 00:45:10,350 --> 00:45:13,430 Front of the no, behind the no, over the top of the no. 617 00:45:18,710 --> 00:45:23,630 Now, I got to hurry. But what I want you to see is 618 00:45:24,510 --> 00:45:32,630 look at this scripture again. We need to know this, that our 619 00:45:32,670 --> 00:45:39,190 old, unrenewed self was nailed to the cross with Him. 620 00:45:39,890 --> 00:45:42,010 This is all about being with Him. 621 00:45:44,250 --> 00:45:53,250 It was our sin on the cross with Him, and in order that our body, 622 00:45:53,530 --> 00:45:58,850 our flesh, which is the instrument of sin, might be made 623 00:45:58,850 --> 00:46:03,130 ineffective. Jesus did that to make sin 624 00:46:03,290 --> 00:46:08,530 ineffective in your. So stop calling yourself a 625 00:46:08,530 --> 00:46:12,860 Sinner. You're no longer a Sinner. 626 00:46:12,860 --> 00:46:14,460 If you're a believer, you're a believer. 627 00:46:14,860 --> 00:46:17,940 You're the righteous. You're no longer a Sinner. 628 00:46:18,140 --> 00:46:21,300 Sin is dead to you. If you call yourself a Sinner, 629 00:46:21,300 --> 00:46:24,820 you've never read the book of Romans, Never read Romans 5, 630 00:46:24,820 --> 00:46:27,500 Romans 6. He goes on and says that the sin 631 00:46:27,500 --> 00:46:34,260 might be made ineffective and inactive for evil, That we might 632 00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:40,570 no longer be the slaves of sin. Everybody thinks America created 633 00:46:40,570 --> 00:46:42,490 slavery. You don't know history. 634 00:46:44,330 --> 00:46:47,250 Slavery started in the Garden of Eden. 635 00:46:51,690 --> 00:46:55,650 And those weren't white people. Those were not Europeans. 636 00:46:56,930 --> 00:46:59,490 They were Middle Eastern. Hello. 637 00:46:59,810 --> 00:47:03,210 Come on, you don't know your history. 638 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,440 It's one of my minors in college and I I still read a lot of 639 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:06,960 history. Why? 640 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:08,880 Because it always repeats itself. 641 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:17,360 And slavery is. Horrible in every facet. 642 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,600 It's straight from hell. It is of the devil, and he 643 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,600 revealed it in the Garden of Eden, and he's been doing it 644 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:28,080 ever since. Now the greatest slaveries are 645 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,440 taking place in China and the secondly, Africa. 646 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,500 And it's not by white people in Africa. 647 00:47:34,820 --> 00:47:37,260 It's my black people. Africa. 648 00:47:37,460 --> 00:47:45,180 Not, not, not African American Africans in the Congo, Rwanda, 649 00:47:46,340 --> 00:47:49,620 Rwanda and all Burundi, all these places. 650 00:47:50,060 --> 00:47:51,700 It's evil. What's taking place? 651 00:47:51,820 --> 00:47:53,940 It's of the devil. What is it? 652 00:47:54,060 --> 00:47:56,780 It's people that have yielded their feel to the devil. 653 00:47:56,860 --> 00:48:01,740 And he grew a crop in it. So sin. 654 00:48:03,090 --> 00:48:08,290 Is the greatest amount of slavery in the universe, and it 655 00:48:08,290 --> 00:48:10,650 puts you into bondage. And know what slavery is about? 656 00:48:10,810 --> 00:48:13,810 It's about bondage. So sin puts you into bondage. 657 00:48:17,050 --> 00:48:21,890 But we've been delivered. Look at Romans chapter 8, Romans 658 00:48:21,890 --> 00:48:26,970 chapter 8, and I wind down Romans chapter 8, verse 29. 659 00:48:27,930 --> 00:48:34,350 Am I helping anybody yet, You know, have you, while you're 660 00:48:34,350 --> 00:48:39,390 turning there, you know how many know about Alexa and then Siri, 661 00:48:39,390 --> 00:48:43,150 You know, you've been kind of concerned about what you say in 662 00:48:43,150 --> 00:48:45,990 front of them because then you start getting all these popups 663 00:48:45,990 --> 00:48:47,790 and ads of your discussions, right? 664 00:48:48,310 --> 00:48:50,590 Well, they, they come up with a new one called Charlie. 665 00:48:50,590 --> 00:48:56,990 It's male dominated because you can say anything you want to in 666 00:48:56,990 --> 00:48:59,150 front of Charlie because men don't listen to anything. 667 00:48:59,150 --> 00:49:06,150 So every wife should have said Amen on that one. 668 00:49:10,230 --> 00:49:14,390 OK Have you found Romans 8? Look at verse 29. 669 00:49:14,390 --> 00:49:15,510 What does read it out the amplified. 670 00:49:15,510 --> 00:49:19,470 It says for those whom HE4 knew pastor or got in this this 671 00:49:19,470 --> 00:49:24,070 morning in the baby dedication. I didn't know what he was going 672 00:49:24,070 --> 00:49:25,150 to share. He didn't know what I was going 673 00:49:25,150 --> 00:49:27,990 to share. So whom HE4 knew, of whom he was 674 00:49:27,990 --> 00:49:32,100 aware and love beforehand. In other words, God was made 675 00:49:32,100 --> 00:49:35,980 aware of you long before, not only you or you before. 676 00:49:35,980 --> 00:49:41,140 There was even parents that recreated you, procreated you, 677 00:49:41,300 --> 00:49:44,780 and even before there was even a planet or even a Milky Way or a 678 00:49:44,780 --> 00:49:52,180 solar system, God knew you beforehand and he also destined 679 00:49:52,180 --> 00:49:55,300 from the beginning. Again, the beginning is not on a 680 00:49:55,300 --> 00:49:57,580 calendar. Our finite minds can't 681 00:49:57,580 --> 00:50:01,760 understand what beginning is. We we couldn't comprehend it. 682 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:06,040 Our minds was talk about shut down, they blow up. 683 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,680 So he destined from the beginning for ordaining them or 684 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:19,080 giving them a purpose Don't get into the predestination extreme 685 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,160 doctrine because it's not it's not true. 686 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:26,040 In other words you have moral, free moral agency. 687 00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:30,640 You can choose whatever you want to do, but we're supposed to be 688 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:34,200 discovering what he's for, ordained for us. 689 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,280 Because how did he know me before where there's a planet 690 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,000 Because you were first spiritually made. 691 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,440 You are a spirit being. You're creating his image. 692 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,520 He doesn't have a physical body just because we do. 693 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,000 We identify everything with that. 694 00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:58,310 But he made you as a spirit being, and he saw you in the 695 00:50:58,310 --> 00:51:02,390 spirit realm, and he invested everything necessary into your 696 00:51:02,390 --> 00:51:03,750 spirit realm. Come on. 697 00:51:04,550 --> 00:51:11,150 So you could access it by. Faith, it doesn't come by 698 00:51:11,150 --> 00:51:13,710 osmosis, doesn't come from just coming to church. 699 00:51:13,910 --> 00:51:17,030 It doesn't come from the giving ties and paying ties. 700 00:51:17,110 --> 00:51:19,390 It doesn't come from just being kind. 701 00:51:20,310 --> 00:51:23,350 I just think because I'm kind, I should know what I need to know 702 00:51:23,350 --> 00:51:26,710 from God and and I could go to heaven because I'm really nice. 703 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,160 Sorry nice people are in hell today. 704 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,160 Moral people are in hell today. That's not the prerequisite. 705 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:39,720 So he goes on and says he for ordained them to be molded into 706 00:51:39,720 --> 00:51:45,240 the image of his son and share inwardly in his likeness. 707 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:49,480 We're supposed to look like and be like Jesus. 708 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:59,160 Not Mike, not Grandma, not Grandpa Paul, Not Papa John, not 709 00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,160 Nana. We're supposed to be molded to 710 00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:10,040 the image of Christ and share inwardly, spiritually in his 711 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:16,160 likeness. Molded, formed. 712 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,800 That means we got some changing to do. 713 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:27,680 Because here's the problem. Too many Christians are trying 714 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:38,680 to mold Christ into their form, doing whatever we want to do and 715 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,960 asking God to bless it. That's not submitting to Christ. 716 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:47,440 That's requiring him to submit to me won't work. 717 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:52,740 So he says, molded into the image of his son, and share 718 00:52:52,740 --> 00:52:56,620 inwardly in his likeness, that he might become the first born 719 00:52:56,620 --> 00:52:59,580 among many brethren. And he did, He was the first one 720 00:52:59,580 --> 00:53:02,660 born again. And it goes on and says, And 721 00:53:02,660 --> 00:53:08,020 those whom he thus for ordained, that's us he also called. 722 00:53:08,260 --> 00:53:12,620 And those who he called he also what he justified. 723 00:53:12,620 --> 00:53:16,900 Next screen, he justified. What does that mean? 724 00:53:17,220 --> 00:53:20,580 Justified never sin. But it's even much deeper than 725 00:53:20,580 --> 00:53:21,940 that. It means acquitted. 726 00:53:22,060 --> 00:53:28,620 That means absolved. All charges erased like they 727 00:53:28,620 --> 00:53:32,300 never existed. That's why you're no longer a 728 00:53:32,300 --> 00:53:36,980 Sinner. He acquitted you. 729 00:53:38,500 --> 00:53:41,220 All charges are dropped like they were never there. 730 00:53:42,300 --> 00:53:45,620 So it doesn't matter what the devil tries to lay on you. 731 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:50,920 About says he's ever. He's always accusing you to God, 732 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,640 and Jesus is at the right hand of the throne of God ever making 733 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,240 intercession. He is your advocate, He is your 734 00:53:58,240 --> 00:54:02,840 attorney, and he's not some cheesy billboard ambulance 735 00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,280 chaser attorney. He's the real deal. 736 00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:10,160 He's your defense attorney. And he's saying, father, that's 737 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:14,600 a lie. They are in me. 738 00:54:15,410 --> 00:54:19,410 They are victorious. They are more than conquerors. 739 00:54:19,770 --> 00:54:22,770 They are not victims. They're victors. 740 00:54:24,130 --> 00:54:28,970 That's who he made you to be. That's your identity. 741 00:54:29,850 --> 00:54:33,810 So stop acting like a loser. Stop acting like a victim. 742 00:54:37,650 --> 00:54:41,210 And it's not just a matter of changing your vocabulary in your 743 00:54:41,210 --> 00:54:43,770 vernacular. It's a matter of changing your 744 00:54:43,770 --> 00:54:47,710 heart and renewing your mind to what the word says you are. 745 00:54:49,310 --> 00:54:52,310 The very things you're seeing around here, the very things 746 00:54:52,310 --> 00:54:54,110 you're you're, You're taught and preached. 747 00:54:54,390 --> 00:54:57,790 It says, So what shall we? Well, let's finish the rest of 748 00:54:57,790 --> 00:55:03,190 the So not only were we justified, those he justified he 749 00:55:03,190 --> 00:55:07,870 glorified. So that kind of eradicates 750 00:55:08,270 --> 00:55:09,670 Romans. Chapter 3. 751 00:55:10,670 --> 00:55:12,030 That's still Book of Romans, right? 752 00:55:12,610 --> 00:55:14,250 Romans chapter 3. For all of a sudden falling 753 00:55:14,250 --> 00:55:17,090 shore of the glory of God. That's who we used to be. 754 00:55:18,610 --> 00:55:21,010 Now we've been glorified, I said. 755 00:55:21,010 --> 00:55:25,690 Now we've been glorified so much, so, so much so that as you 756 00:55:25,690 --> 00:55:28,610 walk in the light, you're walking around in the light and 757 00:55:28,610 --> 00:55:39,810 darkness acknowledges you. Three Sunday nights ago in San 758 00:55:39,810 --> 00:55:45,760 Diego, CA, we had a the pastor wanted to have a Sunday night 759 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,800 healing service. So we had Sunday morning. 760 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,800 I talked on some something similar to this on Sunday 761 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:53,960 morning and part of Sunday night. 762 00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:56,240 So we wanted to have a healing service. 763 00:55:56,240 --> 00:56:01,280 So their church is about as wide as these three sections right 764 00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:06,360 here, and not quite maybe just 2 1/2 of these. 765 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:12,910 And so with a prayer line fill the front double, triple people 766 00:56:13,910 --> 00:56:17,710 visitors that never come before because they had their friends 767 00:56:17,710 --> 00:56:21,190 in the church invite them for healing, whatever. 768 00:56:22,230 --> 00:56:23,510 And so there's some ladies over here. 769 00:56:23,510 --> 00:56:26,790 I prayed for 1st and I said, now you stay here, I'm going to pray 770 00:56:26,790 --> 00:56:28,350 for the rest of these, but you stay here. 771 00:56:28,750 --> 00:56:32,670 And I have something from the Lord for you and I I had a few 772 00:56:32,670 --> 00:56:35,030 words of knowledge for a couple of ladies and then I got to this 773 00:56:35,030 --> 00:56:37,270 third one. Her name was Norma, which is my 774 00:56:37,270 --> 00:56:43,010 mom's name. So it's easy to remember, and we 775 00:56:43,010 --> 00:56:47,970 got this on video by the spirit of God I just shared with her. 776 00:56:49,730 --> 00:56:56,170 You've been the enemies tried to isolate you, separate you for 777 00:56:56,170 --> 00:57:00,690 the purpose of devouring you, like a lion does its prey to 778 00:57:00,690 --> 00:57:02,490 separate from the rest of the herd. 779 00:57:03,810 --> 00:57:05,210 You know that's what he does to all of us. 780 00:57:05,210 --> 00:57:08,020 So that's a general statement, and I told everybody that every, 781 00:57:08,140 --> 00:57:13,060 every one of us can take this, But I said, but you in 782 00:57:13,060 --> 00:57:21,420 particular, Norma, you've overcome that to date, but now 783 00:57:21,540 --> 00:57:25,940 that you've heard this teaching, you can stand up again. 784 00:57:26,980 --> 00:57:30,700 And as soon as I got to that point, a demon manifested in 785 00:57:30,700 --> 00:57:33,940 her. I had a had her by the hand with 786 00:57:33,940 --> 00:57:39,860 both of my hands up front, and this is a pretty Hispanic lady 787 00:57:41,020 --> 00:57:49,580 and she got ugly, really fast hair, stood up on my arms and 788 00:57:49,580 --> 00:57:52,500 the people around me later asked, did did y'all sense that? 789 00:57:52,660 --> 00:57:57,940 Oh yeah, I got goosebumps. It's the same goosebumps you get 790 00:58:00,140 --> 00:58:04,180 when that spooky movie comes, even the commercial. 791 00:58:05,220 --> 00:58:07,070 Why? Because it's a demon. 792 00:58:12,710 --> 00:58:17,070 And this is spooky movie season. We're coming up into October. 793 00:58:18,270 --> 00:58:20,550 Hell's not. You know what they're calling 794 00:58:20,550 --> 00:58:25,510 Detroit Devil's Night? That's what happens in Detroit. 795 00:58:27,270 --> 00:58:29,310 Much of Detroit's burned out because of that. 796 00:58:29,790 --> 00:58:33,630 It's they're getting some smarter people in and getting 797 00:58:33,630 --> 00:58:36,970 rid of that junk. But they burned down a lot of 798 00:58:36,970 --> 00:58:48,810 these cities on October 31st, and so he manifested in her with 799 00:58:48,810 --> 00:58:52,850 this ugly male nasty voice. And I won't get into detail 800 00:58:52,850 --> 00:58:57,090 because there are children in here, but she pulled her hands 801 00:58:57,090 --> 00:59:02,010 back and she snarled and just contorted her face at me. 802 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:07,000 And the ushers were even like, whoa, we're not used to this 803 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:13,960 kind of catching. And I'm standing up here on a 804 00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:19,720 step adminishing to her. And as soon as she pulled back 805 00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:23,960 her arm and her hand like that and criled and snarled and said 806 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:26,640 stuff to me, can't hear it all on video. 807 00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,320 But they all heard it. I heard it. 808 00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,800 And I won't repeat what it was. It was. 809 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:36,040 The bottom line is you cannot have her. 810 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:40,520 She's mine. She doesn't want me out. 811 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:46,640 And so I said. Let's all have a Bible study and 812 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,600 let's pray in this spirit because we're really afraid. 813 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,320 The reason I made fun of that is because I've seen pastors do 814 00:59:56,320 --> 01:00:08,950 that when a demon man. Bible says when we pray in 815 01:00:08,950 --> 01:00:10,950 tongues, we're praying to God. We're not praying. 816 01:00:10,950 --> 01:00:13,750 The devils don't speak in tongues to the devil. 817 01:00:15,910 --> 01:00:20,070 You can pray in tongues but not in fear. 818 01:00:20,430 --> 01:00:28,430 Not a scared tongues. People do it because they're 819 01:00:28,430 --> 01:00:31,180 afraid, because they don't know who they are. 820 01:00:35,900 --> 01:00:43,340 I just calmly pointed at her and she continued to back up in this 821 01:00:43,340 --> 01:00:47,580 aisle, Didn't touch her. She backed up and I said, Devil, 822 01:00:47,580 --> 01:00:51,500 you can't have her, you shut up. And then I said, Norma, Norma, 823 01:00:51,500 --> 01:00:56,740 you got to right here, Norma. I'm talking to you. 824 01:00:57,780 --> 01:01:01,660 You want to be free? Yes. 825 01:01:01,660 --> 01:01:03,420 Yes. Then I went to lay hands on and 826 01:01:03,420 --> 01:01:07,140 I didn't even get to her and the Holy Ghost and the power of God 827 01:01:07,380 --> 01:01:10,300 threw her back on the floor. I did. 828 01:01:10,300 --> 01:01:14,020 Ended up laying hands on her, but before I did it just threw 829 01:01:14,020 --> 01:01:18,980 her back in the floor. Here's the problem with the 830 01:01:18,980 --> 01:01:22,900 church. The Great Commission is found in 831 01:01:22,900 --> 01:01:24,620 March 16th. Found in Matthews. 832 01:01:24,620 --> 01:01:29,340 Found in a couple other places, he said. 833 01:01:29,860 --> 01:01:31,300 Go in all the world and preach the gospel. 834 01:01:31,300 --> 01:01:35,540 These signs to follow them to believe is verse 617. 835 01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:41,300 The first sign is you shall cast out devils speak with Newtons 836 01:01:41,300 --> 01:01:44,060 talking about tongues of the Holy Ghost. 837 01:01:46,300 --> 01:01:50,500 And that's exactly what the denominational church speaks 838 01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:55,660 against. There are no longer any demons 839 01:01:59,460 --> 01:02:01,100 and tongues have been done away with. 840 01:02:02,460 --> 01:02:06,540 Well, if you're going to do that, and then the next one, lay 841 01:02:06,540 --> 01:02:08,620 hands on the sick and they shall recover. 842 01:02:09,140 --> 01:02:11,180 Actually, that's after after the eat or drink. 843 01:02:11,180 --> 01:02:12,460 Any deadly things should not hurt you. 844 01:02:12,740 --> 01:02:15,780 Lay hands on the sick and they shall recover the Oh that's been 845 01:02:15,780 --> 01:02:18,180 done away with. We just don't lay hands. 846 01:02:18,340 --> 01:02:20,300 We don't have any prayer lines. We don't have any healing 847 01:02:20,540 --> 01:02:21,900 because that's been done away with. 848 01:02:21,940 --> 01:02:25,900 No one hasn't. If that's been done away with, 849 01:02:26,020 --> 01:02:34,300 so is preaching the gospel. This is easy math, folks, to 850 01:02:34,380 --> 01:02:41,100 help anybody with that. So we see this, he says. 851 01:02:41,700 --> 01:02:45,260 We've been glorified. See the enemy. 852 01:02:45,700 --> 01:02:50,290 The enemy is darkness. I've been in cities I've never 853 01:02:50,290 --> 01:02:52,450 been in before, places have never been in before. 854 01:02:52,650 --> 01:02:56,330 And had people hit the hood of my rental car and curse me and 855 01:02:56,330 --> 01:03:00,890 speak in some language, was it was not human because they saw 856 01:03:00,890 --> 01:03:04,130 the light on me. It's happened to some of you, 857 01:03:04,130 --> 01:03:05,570 too. You've had complete strangers 858 01:03:05,570 --> 01:03:07,410 cut you out and you don't even know them. 859 01:03:08,490 --> 01:03:10,090 Why? Because they've yielded to 860 01:03:10,090 --> 01:03:11,610 darkness. And you have light. 861 01:03:11,610 --> 01:03:13,930 You are glorified. You have the power of light on 862 01:03:13,930 --> 01:03:18,660 you. You don't fear that he goes on 863 01:03:18,660 --> 01:03:21,660 and says he justified. He also glorified, raising them 864 01:03:21,660 --> 01:03:24,860 to heavenly dignity and the condition and state of state of 865 01:03:24,860 --> 01:03:26,300 being. That's not talking about going 866 01:03:26,300 --> 01:03:27,780 to heaven. That's what he made us, that 867 01:03:27,780 --> 01:03:29,620 here on this, on this planet right now. 868 01:03:29,860 --> 01:03:33,220 And he goes on and says, what then shall we say to all this? 869 01:03:33,380 --> 01:03:36,260 If God is for us, who can be against us? 870 01:03:36,460 --> 01:03:39,420 Who can be our foe? If God is on our side? 871 01:03:41,580 --> 01:03:43,780 Nobody. That's what it's inferring. 872 01:03:43,980 --> 01:03:45,780 Nobody. No thing. 873 01:03:45,980 --> 01:03:48,520 Amen. Didn't help anybody today. 874 01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,320 And let me just read you in closing in this, this very 875 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:59,200 expensive Office Depot stationery, this is what he 876 01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:08,840 said, he said. Your creator has a race for you 877 01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:15,760 to run. Not one you choose, but one you 878 01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:21,620 enter. See, there's a problem. 879 01:04:22,420 --> 01:04:24,220 We're looking around a multiple choice. 880 01:04:24,300 --> 01:04:26,380 We're trying to choose a race to run. 881 01:04:26,580 --> 01:04:31,700 No, no, no, no, no, no. He's already put you in the race 882 01:04:31,820 --> 01:04:33,620 you're supposed to be running in. 883 01:04:33,900 --> 01:04:38,420 You've got to enter into it. Stop resisting the race he puts 884 01:04:38,420 --> 01:04:41,340 you in. Stop resisting what he called 885 01:04:41,340 --> 01:04:44,660 you to do and told you to do. Get in that race. 886 01:04:47,980 --> 01:04:54,660 He went on and said he chooses a race we choose to obey. 887 01:04:59,020 --> 01:05:00,780 Well, that's just not my cup of tea. 888 01:05:00,780 --> 01:05:06,220 Pastor Faith is just not for me. I tried it. 889 01:05:06,980 --> 01:05:09,900 What part of what part of these verses did we read that said 890 01:05:09,900 --> 01:05:16,530 try? He went on to say this as 891 01:05:16,530 --> 01:05:25,770 believers, our core identity is no longer rooted in earthly 892 01:05:25,770 --> 01:05:29,530 identities. No longer rooted in the culture. 893 01:05:30,370 --> 01:05:31,970 No. Longer rooted in our own 894 01:05:31,970 --> 01:05:35,490 families. No longer rooted in our 895 01:05:36,330 --> 01:05:41,200 ethnicities and races, No longer rooted in our gender. 896 01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:43,800 Which one are you of the 52 today? 897 01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:48,000 Which one did you choose? Uh, huh. 898 01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:54,280 Doesn't bring anything but confusion in every evil word no 899 01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:59,560 longer rooted in the language. I'm not talking about dialects. 900 01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,400 I'm not talking about French or English or Spanish. 901 01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,680 I'm talking about how people talk. 902 01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:09,270 Your identity is no longer in that, no longer in your 903 01:06:09,270 --> 01:06:14,390 socioeconomic status. It's no longer in any worldly 904 01:06:14,390 --> 01:06:20,150 belief systems, but it's now found in a unique Ethnos, a new 905 01:06:20,150 --> 01:06:23,470 group of people. It's what an Ethnos is, The 906 01:06:23,470 --> 01:06:26,110 church. The Jesus culture. 907 01:06:27,430 --> 01:06:31,350 With scriptural beliefs based upon the word, not based upon 908 01:06:31,350 --> 01:06:35,350 ideologies, not based upon psychology or opinions or 909 01:06:35,350 --> 01:06:37,790 experiences.
