Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast
from st. Augustine Florida.
Now, enjoy this message. Last week we started talking
about separate. Okay.
And it was Resurrection Sunday. And you know, today we're going
to finalize that message. What was initially in my heart
as I began to study that more. I'm like, man, I can't even
touch that today. And God knows what he's doing
because he himself said, don't touch that till next week
because there's more I need to download in you concerning that,
but we went from Matthew Chapter 13, last week versus 47 to 50,
and I'm just going to do a quick little high.
Highlight for Jesus. And again, the Kingdom of Heaven
is like a Dragnet Dragnet, which was cast into the sea and
gathered fish of every sword when it was full men, dragged it
up on the beach and set down and shorted out the good fish into
baskets but the worthless ones they were thrown away.
So we'll be at the clothes and consummation of the age.
The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from the
righteous. Those who are upright and in
right standing with God and cast them, the wicked into the
furnace of Fire will, there will be weeping and wailing grinding
of teeth. We talked about separate means
this, it means to mark off from others by boundaries to limit
the separate in a bad sense. It means to exclude in a good
sense. It means to set apart for
purpose. So separate has a positive and
negative side to it. The positive side to that is
that if you separate for a purpose then, Separate turns
into holiness. Because to be, holy is to be
separated unto God. Holiness is not something that
you obtain in and of yourself. Holiness is something that God
sets you in, and then you are to maintain.
Are you hearing me? Because once you're born again,
your made in the righteousness of God in Christ in your spirit.
Now, the problem is in the church, a lot of times we don't
teach of the threefold nature of man, because man is not just a
spirit, he has a soul and he lives in a body.
And so the spirit of the man that separated are excluded cut
off from God because of sin, Jesus Christ, came and died pays
the price, his blood that makes atonement for us so that we can
have an opportunity to be born again.
Well when were born again, it's not a natural birth and our mind
itself doesn't actually change but our spirit becomes brand
new, it becomes a new creature. What in Christ and that Spirit
man is now made righteous. Righteous is not a religious
word, it means right standing with the governing Authority.
Now, our spirit is in, right? Standing with God, who is king
of all Are you hearing me? And so then our spirit becomes
separated unto God. It's made.
Holy, but once that takes place, then the third person of the
godhead. He's called the Holy Spirit, he
will come and move in and live inside your skin suit or your
body and he will bear witness with your spirit that your child
of God that you've been made righteous that he did this.
He's made you this way. Way through his death burial and
Resurrection. Your spirit man is now alive,
not separated from God. But separated to God.
Can I get an amen? Now, it is the work of your new
spirit and the Holy Ghost. Who lives within you to start
changing your soul realm and get your body in alignment with the
spirit. This is why the Bible tells us
to renew our minds by the washing of the word or the
reading of the word are renewing.
Our minds through the reading of the word, the studying of the
word, because then it allows our mind to get Sanctified.
Our spirit is in sanctification, it's been synced, but our minds,
not our mind has to be renewed and it's our responsibility.
Now that we are alive and our spirit can hear God and wants to
hear God and wants to live for God that we must develop it.
Are you hearing me the Bible calls us when we're a new
creature in Christ, a babe in Christ it's a baby.
Are you hearing me and a baby wants to be ultimately trained
to walk to talk and to be able to go to the bathroom by itself.
Amen. It wants to eat wants to dress
in there the whole time, but you have to train it.
There's a training that takes place and those who are not
trained, takes longer to develop, and it's not because
it's not in there to develop, but it is, we have a preschool
here and some parents, wait longer to train their children
to go to the bathroom on their own, some come to our preschool
with And you know, there are 12 months and they're already going
to the bathroom some there, three or four and they want to
bring one like we can't even put them in our class because you've
not yet potty trained them. Just go ahead and say, Amen.
Anyway, okay. It's not because they couldn't
have been trained earlier. Is that a lot of times we choose
to let certainty but they've got to develop the same thing
happens to us once we are born again, we must develop.
So you could be 53, like me and be undeveloped in your mind.
My alright still be a babe and one of the teenagers that go to
the current are more mature spiritually in their soul realm.
Then you are in yours even though you're 53 years old
because if you don't train yourself to not be led by your
feelings but by the spirit. Amen.
And so, we now have the responsibility to separate or
disconnect our soul and body from the world.
We are to limit put Boundaries sin doesn't own me anymore.
The law of sin and death is no longer my law.
I'm not bound to it. I'm not subject, I master it.
Amen. I've been bought with a price
and now I'm to come over and to be able to live for God.
Continually last week, we talked about how we are not to have
mismatched alliances with things of the world.
We talked about last week how that once we I've come over to
God, we're not to go back into sloppy living.
We're supposed to say separated from it, and Paul, when we
concluded last week in Romans chapter 6, said, shall we
continue to sin? So that Grace may increase or
bound? And his answer was, May it never
be, because if you've acknowledged that you're dead,
That I died and I've been raised up with Christ.
Well then, how can he, who died still participate in that?
Which he's died too. So God has separated you from
that, which separated you You no longer have to be a sinner saved
by grace. You can be a believer, you were
a sinner. You've been saved by grace
through faith. Now you're a Believer and you
are separated from that which separated you you can live.
Holy on all three aspects of your life in your spirit, soul
and body. Amen.
You can do it. Many of you did listen to your
body today, when it said, stay in the bed because it was
talking to you, how many was it talking to you?
This morning said, just stay in the bed.
Yeah, look at that. Talking to, you know, what's
crazy about that is that it did not win.
Apparently, you had dominion over your body and you said, no,
you gonna get up. We have a pointed time with the
King this morning. We need to go here from the King
this morning and we're not going to lay around here.
And be lazy and get into sloppy sleeping.
When my spirit man, neat wants to be fed and my mind needs to
be renewed. So you overcame your body's
talking, you overcame. Well, you understand you can do
that in any temptation. I said any Temptation you could
overcome you can overcome every man in this room that's working
somewhere and they some female comes and makes a pass at you.
You can overcome You can resist the temptation.
You don't have to fall into it. Well, I'm just a guy can't help
it. Yeah, you can't because you're
not a dog. I said you're not a dog.
Quit sniffing around like someone's in heat and you can't
help yourself. No, you can.
Are you hearing me? Yeah, you could put your phone
down so that you're not looking at stuff, you can get it
together. You can take control of your
mind. But it takes you working
together with Christ because the minute you'll yield Christ will
Empower, you Grace will be activated in your life and
you'll be able to overcome some phenomenal things.
So this thing separate cept is serious business, especially
when you're separated from God is serious business.
So, turn over to Matthew chapter 26, we really do not understand
seriously nobody in the room including myself, we really do
not have enough revelation of what it means to be.
Separated from God. We really don't because if we
did, we wouldn't put up with it one bit.
Wouldn't do it. I said we wouldn't do it.
All right, let's see what Jesus said in the garden.
Jesus said in the garden and Genesis 26 starting in verse 36.
He said this, that Jesus came and said, came with them to a
place. This is the garden is said to
his disciples sit here while I go over there and pray, and he
took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be
what grieved And distressed. Jesus was what grieved and
distressed. This is a very difficult,
emotional time in his life, then he said to them, my soul is
deeply grieved to the point of death.
Remain here and keep watch with me.
And he went a little Beyond them and fell on his face and prayed
saying, O my father. If it is possible let this cup
pass from me yet. Not as I will but as you will
when Bible scholar said that it was so deep on him that he said
he went a little further, he only took a couple steps and the
and the amount of pressure That was on him.
He just fell to the ground. He couldn't even stand up.
Couldn't even stand up. Verse 40 and when he came to his
disciples, he found them sleeping and said to Peter.
So you men could not keep watch with me for one hour.
How do you think that sounded think it was cute.
Things Jesus said gentlemen, I can't believe you can't sleep.
Right, I mean he's already distressed at the point of
death. His soul is completely grieved.
He's at this point that any he he would love to not do.
What's about to happen? And is looking for an amendment.
He's looking for the king to have an amendment to declare
another way. Much like what took place with
Mordecai? And Esther, the king, decreed,
the Jews are going to die. And they're like, man, we need
an amendment and the King says, I cannot change.
You're going to die, but I can give you the ability to defend
yourself on that day, and if you defend yourself and live, then
whomever you kill, who comes to kill.
You will not be murder. It will be self-defense and so
an amendment was enacted by the king so that when the day
arrived for the Jews to be destroyed and their enemy did
come after them, they defended themselves and routed their
enemy because the king gave them another way.
Can you hear me? Jesus is appealing to the great
king if there's any other way. Let it pass but not my will,
your will be done. So he comes to Peter and then
they're sleeping. I can just imagine that he
probably didn't sound super great.
When he said this, he goes in verse 41, keep watching and
praying that you may not enter into temptation.
The spirit is willing willing, but the flesh is weak.
And when he went again a second time and prayed saying, father
If this cup, if this cannot pass, unless I drink it, your
will be done again. He came and found them sleeping.
For their eyes were heavy and he left them again and went away
and prayed at third time saying the same thing once more.
So what did he say? The third time if there's any
other way let this cup pass but not my will your will be done.
Verse 45 said, then he came to a decision After the said to them,
are you still sleeping and resting?
Behold the hour is at hand and the son of man is being betrayed
into the hands of Sinners, get up, let us be going.
Behold, the one who betrays me is at hand, Did Jesus know what
was going to happen? Sure.
Because he's read the prophets. Jesus said on a road after his
resurrection where he encountered a couple of
disciples, he began to show them through the law and the prophets
himself. This means, Jesus fulfilled, all
that was written concerning him through the law and the
prophets, he as a child, when he got up underneath the law and
began to study It as all good Jewish people did from the
nation, he's from the tribe of Judah.
He studied this thing. It was a requirements, their
Heritage, their tradition, then he had the, the prophets he were
able to receive and read them. Well, don't, you know, he came
across Isaiah's letter. And Isaiah's letter starting in
verse 3 of the 53rd chapter it says this.
He was despised and forsaken of men.
A man of what sorrows and acquainted with grief and like
one from whom men hide their face.
He was despised and we did not esteem him.
Surely our griefs, he himself bore and our sorrows.
He carried yet we ourselves esteemed him stricken smitten.
Smitten of God and Afflicted, but he was pierced through for
our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities.
The chastisement of our well-being fell upon him and by
his scourging, we are healed. All of us like sheep.
Have gone astray each. One of us turn to his own way,
but the Lord caused the iniquity of all of us to fall on him.
He was oppressed and he was afflicted yet, he did not open
his mouth. Like a lamb that is led to
slaughter like a sheep. That is silent before it's
Shearer's. He did not open his mouth by
oppression and judgment. He was taken away and as and as
for his generation who considered that he was cut off
out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my
people, to whom the stroke was due.
His grave was assigned with the wicked men yet.
He was with a rich man in his death.
Death because he had done no violence nor was there any
deceit in his mouth, but the Lord was pleased to crush.
Him putting him to grief if he would render himself as a guilt
e offering He will see his offspring, he will prolong his
days and the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in his
hands. As a result of the anguish of
his soul, he will see it and be satisfied by his knowledge.
The righteous one. My servant will justify the
many. He will bear their iniquities.
Therefore, I will allot him a portion with the great and he
will divide the beauty among the strong because He poured out
himself to death and was numbered with the transgressors
yet. He himself bore the sin of many
and interceded seated for the transgressors.
I'm sure Jesus read this Prophet.
I know he reading because he quoted in Luke 4:18.
He said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me for he has anointed
me now that's Isaiah chapter, 61 eight chapters.
After this chapter, Jesus. Jesus found himself.
He knew By revealed to him by the spirit of who he was and his
assignment to the Earth, he is Lord of all.
But he came to be savior, he came to save Humanity.
He came to provide the way that we could get out of the dead of
Adam. And come into The Marvelous
Light and become children of God.
Once again, second Corinthians 5:21 said it this way.
He who made, he made him who knew no sin to be sin, y on our
behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
What bothered Jesus in the garden.
What was it? What was it?
That was causing him so much. Anguish such issues.
Is it? The beating was it just the
physical challenges he was about to go through?
I mean, I'll be honest with you, if I do that I was fixing to get
beaten so bad. You couldn't tell I was a man,
I'd that would cause me some grief.
There's no doubt about that and I'm sure Jesus himself.
Wasn't thrilled about that action, but that did not give
him the greatest discomfort. I said it did not give him the
greatest discomfort. Why?
Because the Lord was with him during the be, you could not
take the beating Jesus Took without the anointing present,
couldn't have done it. This gentleman, this guy
anointed of God steps up, it is falsely accused of things just
because they wanted to kill him. And then once they determine
that, he has his first Physical altercation is when he makes the
statement and they talk to him slap him because they said I
can't believe you're talking to a high priest that way.
Then from there as he begins to say I am and they're saying
blasphemy, then they handed him over to the Romans and the
Romans who happen to have be a whole cohort or you could say it
this way. A centurion had a group of
people that they probably numbered anywhere from 600 to
2000. Of a company that grab Jesus
Roman soldiers, once he was turned over and they said
member, they stripped him, they put a robe around him.
They tied up a crown of thorns. Why?
Because they are going to try him as a king, not as a
religious leader. And you understand Romans are
not well if you think you're a king above their King, now their
King is Caesar. So they Others who would even
try to identify as the king or even with Rome, those kings saw
themselves as gods. And so they put that crown of
thorns on his head and they put a robe around him and then they
took a staff and used it as his Sceptre and then the Roman
soldiers, one by one would come by and take that staff and hit
him on the head. They would pull on his beard one
by one. if they're 600 men, that's 600 blows If it was two
thousand men, it was 2000, bulb blows.
But this is not to mention the scourging that he had to endure,
where the Roman soldiers took, the cat of nine, tails, and had
bones and glass, and different sharp objects that they would
interlace between all of the leather, and they would be able
to hit his back and strip the flesh off of him.
You understand, this thing just didn't stay on his back, it
would come around to the front. It would hit the side of your
face. I mean wherever it came in.
They were so proficient as torturers that they could whip a
man within a breath of his life. And stop.
So he would stay alive then. According to the Greek scholar
Rick Renner, he said, during the scourging after they would rip
his back open, in order to stop the blood loss.
They would because he would be in like, a little pit where they
would have his hands up on a pole.
And they would begin to whip at him not like The Passion of
Christ, but it would, because blood would be all filled up in
the bottom of this. You little trench that they had
built, then they would take some salt.
And throw it up into the wounds. No man.
Without the anointing could have endured and yet after all that
he was still able to carry his own cross for a little while
before he became so exhausted, he couldn't carry it.
Wow. Are you hearing me all the while
the Lord was with him, I said was with him.
So when Jesus is recalling this this is not the issue.
That causes him. Great distress.
It's because a man who knew no sin became our sin.
See you understood sin, did something something that he's
never experienced. In fact, let me give you an
account of the issue of man, even man is Holy Meek, faithful
obedient still has an issue because he has fallen In Exodus
chapter 33, Moses. The man, the prophet who saw God
face to face, the Bible says, in one sense, his glory would come
down, he would speak to him face-to-face.
He would be able to hear him and when I say that he would, he
would talk to him plainly, he wouldn't do it in riddles or
different things. He would just clearly converse
with him. And there is a time here that
Moses has been in the presence of God.
So much that Now, he's gotten Bold And he says, Show Me Your
Glory. He said, I pray you starting in
chapter 33 verses 18 to 23 said, I pray, you show me your glory
and he said I myself will make all my goodness pass before you
and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you, and I will
be gracious to whom. I will be gracious and I will
show compassion on whom I will show compassion, but he said you
cannot see my face for no, man can see me.
And and live Then the Lord said behold there's a place by me.
There is a place by me and you shall stand there on that rock
and it will come about while my glorious passing by that.
I will put you in the cleft of The Rock and cover you with my
hand. Until I have what passed by
then. I will take my hand away and you
will see my back, but my face shall not be seen.
Here's someone who has been in the presence of God.
I mean the glory of God to the 11 that when he comes down from
the mountain his face would shot.
Yeah the Lord says if you actually saw me you were in my
physical presence, you die. You would die is much as I've
done to be able to have this relationship with you, to be
able to walk in this manner with you.
You still can't see me because you're unclean.
Come on. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
Jesus was concerned about this moment, the psalmist in Psalms
88 verses 1 through 7 and then we'll jump down to verse 14,
through 16. You know, Jesus read this song.
And it reminded him of the day that would come.
It says this Lord, the god of my salvation, I've cried, I cried
out by day, and in the night, before you let my prayer come
before you incline your ear to My Cry For My Soul has had
enough troubles. He says, and my life has
approached. She'll, I am counted among those
who go down to the pit. I have become like a man without
strength abandoned among the dead.
Like the slain who lie in the grave, who you no longer
remember? And they are cut off from your
hand, you have put me in the lowest pit in dark places in the
depths your wrath has rested upon me.
And you have Afflicted me with all your ways, verse 14?
Why Lord? Why do you reject my soul?
Why do you hide your face from me?
I was miserable and about to die from my youth on, I suffered
your tears, I grow. Weary you're burning anger has
passed over me. Your tears have destroyed me.
Jesus. Was not concerned about the
grave. when we think about, Jesus in The Garden and we're
like, man. Jesus fixing to get beat but God
was with him. Jesus is going to go to the
Grave. but that wasn't as concerned because Jesus himself
said this listen, He said. Now, I'm going to die. by the
hands of the Pharisees and the scribes, but on the third day,
but on the third day, I said on the third day, I'll be raised
up. I said I'll be raised up, but on
the third day, I'll be raised up.
Three days in the grave. Do you know what happened in the
grave? Most won't know what happened in
the grave because they've not actually read the Bible.
They're assuming what took place in the grave, but Jesus tells us
exactly what happened when he was in the grave.
Look what he says on the cross and Luke chapter 23 verses 42
43. Jesus says this, but on the
other but the other answered, this is the thief.
Now there's two thieves, right? And both of them have been
Railing at Jesus. Running him down like everybody
else. Curse him like everybody else
but along the way, one had revelation.
And the one who didn't have Revelation was yelling at Jesus
and then the one who had Revelation says this, but the
other answering rebuked in the other Thief.
He said, do you not even fear God?
Since you are under the same sentence of condemnation for we
indeed are suffering justly for. We are receiving what we deserve
for our Deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.
I let me stop right there. Isaiah said that, he would be a
guilt offering. That is a better translation
than many other translation that says, he's an offering for sin,
although a guilt offering was for sin, but a guilt offering.
Leviticus chapter 4 going through to chapter 6 describes,
what a guilt offering was for because Leviticus for talked
about a sin offering and Leviticus for the sin offering
always was in a context of sinning unintentionally.
Meaning, you found yourself in a sin, you didn't really realize
it, but it's there and now you need to do an offering, but a
guilt offering. A guilt offering means I know I
did it. I know it and you had to then
pass your guilty verdict over to the sacrifice.
The sacrifice was to Bear your guilt.
Although the sacrifice was blameless without spot, it was
not guilty, it hadn't, it was no reason for it to die.
Should not die. It should live but if bore your
guilt It bore your guilt and this guy realizes this man is
our guilt offering. We're guilty, but he's not.
And he gets Revelation. All of the things that I've
heard concerning the day, you would come.
You are taking my guilt, my shame, my verdict, and he goes
on, and he was saying, verse 20, 42 Jesus.
Remember me? When you come into your kingdom
and he said to him, look what Jesus said, truly.
I say to you. What's that next word?
What's that? Next word?
What's that next word? Today?
You will be with who, who? Who's me?
Whose me in? Where was Jesus?
Going that day. The paradise.
There's a Bible talk about Paradise.
Well sure. It does.
The bible talks about paradise and Luke chapter 16.
In Luke chapter 16, it talks about Paradise.
The place that Jesus would be today with that thief because
that Thief has recognized that, he's the guilt offering.
He's the one who can save. He's the Messiah.
He's the savior of the world, he's the lamb.
That was slain. And look what it says here in.
Luke, 16, starting in verse 19. Now there was a rich man, this
is not a parable because Jesus used actual names.
He does not start this account with the kingdom of God is like
or there's a parable that Jesus spoke in a parable this as an
actual event that occurred these were actual people that lived
says now there was a rich man and he was so bitterly dressed
in purple and fine linen, joyfully living a splendid,
splendid Door and Splendor everyday and a poor man named
Lazarus, was late at the gate do not be confused with the lashes.
That was raised on the fourth day, covered with sores and
longing to be fed with the crumbs that were falling from
the rich man's table. Besides even the dogs were
coming and licking his sores. Now, the poor man died and was
carried away by the angels to who Abraham's bosom, Abraham's
bosom is Paradise. And the rich man also died and
was buried. Notice, it didn't say Moses's
bosom. Okay, doesn't say Moses is bosom
because why there's a promise before the law was written?
And again, the law is just revealing that man needs to be
able to believe God and that his ways are corrupt and he's in
need of a savior. But there was a promise made to
a man named Abram. That received the name Abraham,
a father of many nations. I'll make you.
So he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom and
the rich man, also died and was buried in where That's the
grave. He lifted up his eyes being in.
What? What was he in and saw Abraham
far away? And Lazarus in his bosom.
And he cried out, said, Father, Abraham have mercy on me and
send Lazarus so that he may dip, the tip of his finger in water,
and cool off my tongue for. I am in agony in this Flame And
he goes on but Abraham said, child remember that during your
life, you received your good things and likewise Lazarus has
bad things. Now he is being comforted here
and you are in agony, Agony. And besides all this between us
say between us between us and you, there is a great Chasm
fixed so that those who wish to come over here to you will not
be able even in the grave. At this time, those in Paradise
long to get those beyond the chasm out.
But notice those that are in agony.
Their first thought is not for others.
But for their own selfish desire, send him over so he can
dip his tongue in water and cool my tongue.
It is an until Abraham reveals that we can't go across that
none may cross over from here to us.
That later on he said sin Lazarus back.
I got five brothers worse than me.
And Abraham said, listen, if they don't receive from the law
and the prophets, they will not receive even if a man is raised
from the dead. Are you hearing me?
Jesus said today, you will be with me.
We're in Paradise. In Paradise.
Now, in Paradise they weren't in torment.
So, what is Jesus problem? Why in the garden?
Is he under such distress? Because it's not the physical
beating. God was with him.
It is until he's on the cross that he says my father.
Why have you? Because when Jesus became sin
the father had to what Separate. Jesus knows he's going to be in
Abraham's bosom. He's going to be in Paradise.
Yeah, and only for three days, but the thought of being
separated from his father. For three days, has given him
more anxiety than anything he's ever faced in his life.
We flippantly walk around in sin and at like, it's not a big deal
to be cut off because you have no revelation of what it means
to be United. Jesus had only always been with
the father, had only always been in his Loving Care has always,
and he wasn't concerned about the grave.
He knows I'm coming out. The grave didn't bother him
going down, the paradise. Him bother him.
He knows he's gonna conquer. Her in here.
What causes the stress? I am not going to be in the
presence of my father. He treated separation as the
worst thing you could possibly. Bien.
Yeah, we treated as no big deal. Jesus knows the devil is
defeated. Jesus knows he's going to win.
Jesus knows, he's gonna he knows that the Lord will do, what he
said, God's already given him Security in the natural.
When he raised Lazarus up on the fourth day, it was to Jesus.
That ain't no problem me. Get you on the third son.
Are you hearing me? If at your word he can come back
you've already said on the third day you're coming you've been
saying it repeatedly and the Holy Spirit, did he come?
I said, did he come? But those three days of being
separated from the father? Those three days, the very
thought that I would be in a position That cuts me off from
the father. So if we, as Believers could get
this same Revelation that when the Temptation is simply be like
that, cut me off from my father. Now, I'm not talking about when
you're born again, the minute you see in your cutoff and you
need to be reborn again. I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying get what Jesus was thinking.
Jesus is like, I don't even want amitai second outside of the
presence of my God. Yeah.
We will entertain sin, although, and calls our own Spirit and the
Holy Ghost within us to become grieved, And Jesus said this is
a huge deal even though he knew this only 3 days.
I mean, think about it, I could endure this for three days.
That just means we don't know his presence.
We've not even gotten into the worship of our King to the place
that we disdain. That which separates us.
Even force a millisecond. We wouldn't want it to penetrate
any part of our being. We did we don't want it to get
in our mind or Spirit Man's Alive, but we don't even want it
to get in our mind. We don't want to entertain it
with our but we don't want anything.
That doesn't have the fear of God.
We'll play with it. Entertain it.
And Jesus prayed if there's any other way, I don't want to be
away from you. I just don't want to be away.
Do you think Jesus would have struggled come to church?
He my I'm not going to be away from you.
You think Jesus would have struggled to sing praises you
inhabit, the Praises of your people.
I'm going to sing, I'm going to sing loud and everybody in this
room right now. I mean, I'm going to say now
when I say that, I mean, don't be obnoxious Lee louder than
everybody else in the room to try to draw attention to
yourself, okay? I mean there is a blending of
our voices to go. I'm just saying, we passion with
your heart, with your whole heart connected to your spirit.
Because I've seen a lot of passionate worship that was only
soulish and God wasn't even in the room.
I said, God wasn't in the room. I One very clear time.
When I was a youth, pastor. I went to a particular camp and
these teenagers were along a wall and they were, it's like a
Wailing Wall, really is what it looked like and they were just
wailing and crying going after. And I'll never forget the, Holy
Ghost says, I don't hear anything they're saying and I'm
like, what? Lord, how can that be?
He said, it's all from their soul, their Spirits, not
connected. They have not trained their
Spirit to connect with me. He said, this is why you got to
train them for who they are in Christ.
You want to believe that your emotional expression is touching
God. But, wait up, we, you can't
violate scripture mean you want to, but you can't, they will
worship me. And what not in Seoul in spirit.
And in truth, And those are the one he seeks after.
Yeah. Yeah.
We have to keep ourselves undefiled from the things of the
world, because Jesus didn't want to take did one in on him one
bit. Because he knew it's going to
cut that off. It's going to cut Dad off.
It's going to cut that off. You know what else?
It cut off the Holy Ghost. Both the father and the spirit
cut off. Cut off.
He had to be just like us in Paradise, awaiting.
I can't even imagine what those three days were like for him.
It's not the torment of the Lake of Fire, that's the dish issue
and we're selling people and you don't want to go to hell, you
don't want to be tormented, you don't want to be Jesus like
torments not that that's not the issue.
The issue is the separation. Separation is the issue.
The issue is a separation. There's no torment like the
separation. There's no torment like being
separated from life. This is why Believers struggle
so much in the earth there, like, a freaking nature,
because, again, on the inside their Spirit Man's Alive, but
then they continue to respond to the things of the world, and
they struggle and they're having issues, and they're having their
whole life becomes a chaos. It's why?
Because they're entertaining, something they should already be
separated from. And they're not taking in
account. Jesus didn't even want to
participate in that anymore. Just didn't want to go down the
road. He never once questioned God's
plan until the reality of the separation.
The reality of the separation, this is why people sing songs on
the highway to hell. This is why people act like
they're going to go and take Dominion.
In fact, they're acting like they're going to go down there
and kick the devil out. Like he was living there.
Anyway, Jesus did not go down to the grave and find the devil.
The devil wasn't there, Satan was not there.
He's the prince of the power of the are not of the That's not
where he was hanging out. Now it makes good for videos and
movies but the reality is he's like an angel of Light, he was
ruling in the heavens, he's moving around on the earth job.
Let us know how Satan operated in Dominion prior to Jesus.
He when he went up to the heavens and saw the father, he
says, what if what have you been doing?
He said, well, I've been on the Earth moving to and fro he said,
we'll have you considered my servant job.
He said, yep. The Bible talks about him, roams
around like a roaring lion seeking, whom he may devour,
he's not sitting down in hell where they became this big you
know, 12-round battle. Are you hearing me?
It wasn't until he led captivity captive.
Because once the separation was over in the Holy Spirit showed
up, because there was a court in heaven, that says, a man is in
the grave that should not be in the grave.
He has been falsely crucified executed.
Holy Spirit, go get him and all who were in Paradise Abraham's
bosom were those who were the righteous dead.
Those believe that this day would come that the Messiah
would show up that the blood, the atonement would take place
and their existence in the grave demonstrated that they were a
part of a group that wasn't like the ones on the other side of
the chasm. Because the ones on the other
side of the chasm, does it get out?
They come up later? Oh, come on now and it said he
led captivity captive in the Bible says that when he broke
out of the Grave by the Holy Ghost, the dead rose with him.
Those came out of and they walked through the streets of
Jerusalem and people saw their loved ones who had died decades,
hundreds of years, centuries, earlier, they spoke with them.
But then we get to Colossians chapter 2.
I said we get to Colossians chapter 2 because Jesus has a
few conversations tells one don't touch me cuz I ain't been
glorified God, take my blood up, he takes his blood up, pours it
out on The Mercy Seat of Christ on The Mercy Seat in heaven, and
makes atonement. The guilt offering is complete.
Now, the way home is available the way back to life is been
made and now that he has conquered the grave, he goes, To
the air where he goes to deal with the prince of the power of
the air. And it says, this realm of death
describes, our former State. We were held in sins grip.
But now, you've been resurrected out of the realm of death.
Never to return for, we are alive, forever alive.
And forgiven of all our sins verse 14, for he cancelled out
every legal violation, we had on our record and the old arrest,
warrant that stood to endure. Bite us.
He erased it all our sins, our stain.
So he deleted it all and they cannot be retrieved everything.
We once were in, Adam has been placed on his cross and nailed
permanently there. As a public display of
cancellation, verse 15, then Jesus made a public spectacle
made a public spectacle, this is not in hiding.
We didn't see it in this earth round, but in the spirit realm,
he went straight up to the devil, the God of this world.
And in front of us, has fallen angel in front of all of his
principalities and powers and Jesus made a public spectacle of
all the powers, my gosh, and principalities of Darkness.
Look what he did. He stripped away from them.
Every weapon and all their Spiritual Authority and power to
act. Accuse us.
He said, devil you don't own them anymore and you don't own
this anymore and you don't own that anymore, and I stripped
that power. And I stripped that power and I
stripped that power and I stripped that power and I
stripped that power little strip that power.
And by the power of the Cross, Jesus led them around.
Then he showcased them when all the way up to him said, Daddy.
Look at all my prisoners. Look at all the ones that I've
defeated. Look at all the ones that are
now under my feet, and not only under my feet, but all who call
on the name of the Lord. Yeah, around his prisoners in A
procession of tribe. He was not their prisoner.
They were his. What does that tell us?
You don't have to, for one millisecond, entertain something
that a separate you from Daddy. You're not stuck to sin anymore,
you're not stuck in this thing that keeps you bound and
separate it from the most vibrant life of Victory and
overcoming with God. My gosh man, God's blood has
separated you from that which separated you.
And you are never to return. And I heard the Lord say this.
Any king of mine that is in sin is a self sentenced King.
They proclaimed, a self sentence, they bond themselves
to it themselves because I stripped It Off.
The devil does not have a right to you.
When you fall, you have the power to fall.
When you sin, you took the power to sin.
The devil is only trying to throw out booby traps to see if
you'll condemn yourself. Because he can't condemn you
again. He can't condemn you he's been
stripped of all this power. He's been whipped of it.
He has power over those that are still in his realm.
But for you, you've been raised, you've been seated, you're
alive, you're above and not beneath your the head and not
the tail, you are more than a conqueror in Christ.
There's no reason for you ever take another thought that would
separate you from the father. And may we have the revelation
of Jesus. I don't ever want to be in a
place that I'm not completely connected Spirit soul and body
to my heavenly father, because of the finished work of Jesus, I
don't have to be I said I don't have to be Hallelujah.
With that being said, we close with this Revelations, one, 17,
and 18, and Paul. And John said, when I saw him, I
fell at his feet as dead and he laid his right hand upon me
saying unto me fear. Not, I am the first and the last
I am, he that liveth and was dead and behold I am alive for
Evermore. Amen.
And have the keys of hell and of death that word hell.
There is the grave He has the keys of the grave and there will
come a day that the grave will give up the dead and come up to
the great white Throne, Judgment of, which he'll open up the
books. And he'll first say, is there a
name written in the Lamb's Book of Life?
Because if there is none of this will matter but when they
couldn't find their name in the Lamb's Book of Life there, no,
they weren't a citizen of the Kingdom.
They had not made Jesus Lord. Then he judged them according to
the books and he cast them into the Lake of Fire which is the
second death. It's not the Lake of Fire.
That's the worst. It's the separation.
For eternity, that you chose to be eternally separated from the
Father and Jesus didn't even want three days.
He didn't even want three days. He didn't want it.
I don't ever want to be cut off from my father.
And I'm glad that Jesus died, Rose.
His blood is the guilt offering from my life.
And that I don't have to one more for a millisecond.
Have to be separated from the heavens.
