1 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,080 Jeremiah 1/4 through 12 says this. 2 00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:23,840 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Before I formed you 3 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,840 in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I 4 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,479 consecrated you. I have appointed you a prophet 5 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,040 to the nation's. Verse 6. 6 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,440 Then I said, Alas, Lord God, behold, I do not know how to 7 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,120 speak, because I'm a youth. But the Lord said to me, do not 8 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,760 say I'm a youth, because everywhere I send you, you shall 9 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,480 go, and all that I command you, you shall speak. 10 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,640 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, 11 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,840 declares the Lord. Then the Lord stretched out my 12 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,920 hand, or stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. 13 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,160 And the Lord said to me, Behold, I have put my word in your 14 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,400 mouth. Now you know most people today 15 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,880 wish that's the same way that the Holy Spirit would just touch 16 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,640 your mouth in this context, you know, and it's instantly there. 17 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,760 Well in this in this dispensation even more so we are 18 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,040 to study to show ourselves on approved unto God. 19 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,160 If you want the Holy Spirit to put things in your mouth, you're 20 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,960 going to have to be in the word of God. 21 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,240 Hallelujah. Are you hearing me? 22 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,760 This is not by osmosis or by some magic wand. 23 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,320 It's by discipline and study because the teachers on the 24 00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:44,840 inside of you glory to God. Verse 10, He says, see, I have 25 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,600 appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms to 26 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,720 pluck up the breakdown, to destroy, to overthrow, to build 27 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,160 and to plant man. I could just camp on that one 28 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,360 verse again. He's appointed you this day over 29 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,400 the nations and over the kingdoms. 30 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,320 What is he going to do? He's going to pluck up and to 31 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,920 break down, which means every prophetic utterance is not 32 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,800 always positive and the and the gift of the prophet is not just 33 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,400 to bring you good news, but also to bring correction. 34 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,520 It goes on to say to destroy and overthrow. 35 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,720 Wow Hallelujah. But then to build into plant 36 00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:28,760 verse 11. The word of the Lord came to me 37 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,640 saying now here it is very clear. 38 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,640 He said, what do you see Jeremiah? 39 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:39,320 And he says, I see a rod of an almond tree and then the Lord 40 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,960 says this. Then the Lord said to me, you 41 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,240 have seen what for? I am watching over my word to 42 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,560 perform it. Now this is 1 particular case 43 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,280 specifically. I'm going to give you another 44 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,840 case here and that is with the gift of the prophet. 45 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,360 There is a training of seeing and knowing. 46 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,320 Jeremiah has this. God says what do you see? 47 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,240 What is He doing? He's training him how to see in 48 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,120 the Spirit. Just because he's put the word 49 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,320 in his mouth doesn't mean he is trained enough to be sensitive 50 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,160 to accurately interpret everything. 51 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,800 And the Lord has done this with multiple prophets. 52 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,080 He did this with Isaiah. He did this with Ezekiel. 53 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,800 He says, what do you see? And he would ask that question 54 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,960 and they would say, well, I see this. 55 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,200 And he said, OK, you've seen correctly. 56 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,360 You're perceiving right? You're getting what I you're 57 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,560 you're you're peering into what I'm doing by the spirit. 58 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,800 Now let me give you an interpretation of what that is. 59 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:45,320 Are you hearing me? Another one is Amos. 60 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:54,760 Amos Chapter 7 says this. Amos says this thus he showed 61 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,760 me, and behold, the Lord was standing by a vertical wall with 62 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:04,080 a Plumb line in his hand. And the Lord said to me, What do 63 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:10,840 you see, Amos, what do you see? And I said, IA Plumb line. 64 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,960 Then the Lord said to him, Behold I am, I'm about to put a 65 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:20,360 Plumb line in the midst of my people Israel, I will spare them 66 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,760 no longer. Let me show you a Plumb line. 67 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:32,080 So the Lord in the spirit had a Plumb line that Amos saw a Plumb 68 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,280 line is what Masons used to be able to build a wall so that it 69 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:40,800 would be straight. And so it's obviously waited the 70 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,360 line here. And so when they build the 71 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,520 foundation and have their footer, then they begin to stack 72 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,040 the rocks up is to keep it straight. 73 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:58,040 That way nothing can bulge out or come in, nor do we build it 74 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,320 in a way that it would start to lean that when it got it gets 75 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,520 taller, it's going to topple over. 76 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:11,160 So in essence, this is true. This is straight. 77 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,080 The wall doesn't dictate what straight is, the line does. 78 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,520 Are you hearing me? Which means then when the Mason 79 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,160 is working, if, and again, we're talking about rocks here, not 80 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,680 just brick, but let's talk about rocks as they begin to do that. 81 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,680 If one of the rocks bowls out too much, then they will carve 82 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,400 that off because if they want it flat and straight to the Plumb 83 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,280 line, there's going to be things they have to remove. 84 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:44,360 They have to adjust. They have to constantly be 85 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,360 coming back and looking at the line. 86 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,040 Are you hearing me? And the line doesn't lie. 87 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,320 The line doesn't lie. The line always shows the 88 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:05,320 imperfection because when the Mason goes down, says, ah, man, 89 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,200 that brick has gotten too close. Is is push the line. 90 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,520 You know, they can get going long and don't realize one 91 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,440 touches it and the next thing you know, they go along, they're 92 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,760 building. They're like, oh, it's not, it's 93 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,360 not hanging. Oh, we're off. 94 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:27,000 So they have to go back, tear down what is out to get it back 95 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,520 Plumb or they begin to build up and they don't pay attention. 96 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,120 They were off now and they're like we're leaning in. 97 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,800 We're not even close to the line. 98 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,480 Once again we have to tear down in order to get us back on 99 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,240 point. Are you hearing what I'm saying? 100 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:52,680 So Amos saw a Plumb line that was in whose hand come on? 101 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,640 Whose hand was it in? It was in the Lord's hand. 102 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,160 Do you understand? The Lord is your Plumb line. 103 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:07,040 So in these cases, the gift of the prophet, if anything is 104 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,680 communicating to you, are you straight? 105 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,520 A true prophet is going to ask you, are you straight? 106 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,080 You understand there were kings that didn't want certain 107 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,200 prophets to show up because there were false prophets who 108 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:29,160 had no care for the plum line. In fact, Amos is not even 109 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,760 technically a prophet or come through a line of prophets or 110 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,400 study to be a prophet. He actually says, listen, I am 111 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,920 just a farmer, but the Lord came to my field. 112 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:47,560 And because none of the prophets that had the ability to function 113 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,560 that way, we're no longer paying attention to the Plumb line of 114 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,960 God. He has now called me to come and 115 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,520 speak on his behalf. Are you hearing me? 116 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,520 And so there's a Plumb line that is associated with the walk of 117 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,640 God. Because at the end of the day, 118 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,320 the most sure prophecy we have is not what flows through the 119 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,280 gift of the prophet, but it is the Word of God. 120 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,840 And the word of God is our plum line. 121 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,440 It's not your opinion. It's not how you want to do it. 122 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:33,000 It's not What you think's best because Amos is letting us know 123 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,159 as we could Fast forward into this dispensation, is that the 124 00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:45,160 church itself is not. It is susceptible of getting off 125 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:50,800 the Plumb line as well if it does not keep first the Kingdom 126 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:56,960 of God and his righteousness of which they seek to study, 127 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,480 rightly dividing the word of truth, not having an opinion of 128 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,040 their all. But what does the word say? 129 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:10,440 A congregation can get off, can get off. 130 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,920 Now I'm not here to talk about those. 131 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,120 I'm here to talk about we want to stay with a Plumb line, 11 132 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,200 scholar said. This. 133 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:24,000 God tests the character of it, a Plumb line in his hand. 134 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,680 The Mason used Plumb line to determine the straightness of 135 00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:30,560 the wall and thus God tests the character of human action. 136 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,280 What is God's Plumb line number one? 137 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,960 His law as inscribed upon the human conscience. 138 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,800 By this he tries all men. In fact Paul wrote in the book 139 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,680 of Romans chapter 2 I believe it was where he says listen the 140 00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:51,960 Gentiles function in a law even though it's not written and 141 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:57,920 based upon it they are tried. The Jews had a law of which was 142 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,840 their Plumb line to be able to stay straight. 143 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,280 The Gentiles didn't even have a written law, but their 144 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,680 conscience had them live in a straight enough line that then 145 00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:15,520 would bear witness against them. So all men because as as Paul 146 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:22,280 said, creation itself testifies of the glory of God and his 147 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,800 reality that he exists Are you hear me? 148 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,480 And that all of us are without excuse, Jew and Gentile alike. 149 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,880 The second thing is God's law as written in the Scripture. 150 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,120 By this he tries all who possess the revelation. 151 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,520 Do you understand revelation is very important. 152 00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:44,360 Most people want to be known as knowing, but they don't really 153 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,560 want to have revelation. But here's the thing, revelation 154 00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:51,480 is what God will try you. His Plumb line is on that. 155 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,360 This is why Paul said, listen, I have to live to what I've 156 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,680 attained to. I have to live to that I have 157 00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:03,080 through the years of 21 years of planting Anchor Faith Church 158 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,760 here specifically, there are multiple times I've asked the 159 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,960 Lord Lord, if all that really matters is just a priest, that 160 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,880 Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave, That's 161 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,760 all that really matters. Then I will no longer minister 162 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:28,040 on the other stuff. Just tell me because I'm not 163 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,240 here to minister to where an individual would come in and 164 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,920 struggle with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. 165 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,240 What evidence is speaking in tongues the authority of the 166 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,120 believer that healing is now that the Kingdom of God is in 167 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,880 function and operation today that the Bible's about a king 168 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,840 his Kingdom and the world lost Ram There's all kinds of gamuts 169 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,400 of things that that we say that that that run against the 170 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:59,000 tradition of US Christianity. So Lord, if that's it we if if 171 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,880 Pat if everybody's just packing out because they're talking 172 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,520 about the death burial and resurrection of Jesus. 173 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,840 Just let me do it and in 21 years. 174 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,640 Do you know how he replies to me silence. 175 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,120 He won't he, he already knows that I know and it always shows 176 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,640 back up in the Philippian letter when Paul says I must live to 177 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,120 what I have attained to. I do not turn back. 178 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,320 I do not go backwards in revelation. 179 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,960 I do not let go of revelation and, and, and just walk in what 180 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,080 I started in. I must live to what I attained 181 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,240 to. This is why again, I'm just 182 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,560 going to communicate a little bit. 183 00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:49,400 Why? Because we have a Plumb lot, and 184 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,600 our Plumb line is not based solely on the death, burial, 185 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,640 resurrection of Jesus of which that opened the door to all the 186 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,840 other revelation we have. But we have to acknowledge that 187 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,280 Christ is the healer. We have to acknowledge that He's 188 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,480 given authority to the believer. We have to acknowledge that He's 189 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,600 made us kings in this earth today. 190 00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:11,600 We have to acknowledge that the enemy is at our feet. 191 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,960 We have to acknowledge that our soul realm does not dominate us 192 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,480 nor our emotions, and we are not led by them, but we are led by 193 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,800 the spirit. Which means then song sung in 194 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,840 certain congregations are based upon the revelation they have. 195 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:34,320 But if that song came to this house, it becomes a problem 196 00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:40,840 because I can't just sing about how I feel because I'm not moved 197 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,800 by how I feel. I'm moved by His word. 198 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:54,160 So that's why, well, how do we sing this in the revelation we 199 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,680 have? And this is not saying you're 200 00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:00,080 better. It's knowing what you have 201 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,360 attained to. But I'm amazed again at the 202 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:09,240 Saints is they will let singing run through their ears even 203 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,120 though they know doctrinally it is off. 204 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,920 Which tells me, what else will you compromise to accommodate? 205 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,920 But I'm thankful that the prophetess said there'll be a 206 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,280 new sound out of this house. Whoo Hallelujah, I said a new 207 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,040 sound. Amen. 208 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,000 Because there's revelation and you understand it's easier to 209 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,240 just use somebody else's stuff and not actually stop and pray 210 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,000 and get a song in your own spirit. 211 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,640 I mean, it's easier to let somebody else do the work of 212 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,240 mining out of truth and just sit and receive the effort of their 213 00:14:54,240 --> 00:15:03,480 time and their their sacrifice to be close with God. 214 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:13,560 The third thing is God's law has embodied in Christ by this, he 215 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,080 tries all who have the gospel. You understand we live in a new 216 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,880 and better covenant and so we have to keep things in line with 217 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,840 that covenant. This is why a lot of times songs 218 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,440 in our in our church services do not have a new covenant 219 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,960 perspective because they're dabbling in old covenant 220 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:36,120 feelings. But the same thing as with 221 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,720 preaching, and this is a holistic approach that when we 222 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,040 do not keep context of Scripture from Genesis 11 to Revelations 223 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,200 2221, then in essence, what we do is we miss out on the big 224 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,640 picture of what God is saying. And there is a Plumb line that 225 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,000 is based upon the revelation. You have Reverend Randy and I 226 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,920 have said on multiple times that when people have been exposed to 227 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,880 the Kingdom of God and, and, and it's seen the Kingdom and walked 228 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,720 and then to turn away and go back into churches that don't 229 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,360 even mention it. It's like what is happening. 230 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,240 I mean, it's no different than someone who has put their hand 231 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,680 to a plow of a a particular revelation and now has looked 232 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,560 back. What are we doing? 233 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:25,040 We're trying to accommodate our opinion of God and how we want 234 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,720 to live with him instead of his truth about himself. 235 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,880 God's always trying to raise us up, always trying to perfect us, 236 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,160 always trying to. Because here's the thing, God, 237 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:51,120 God never wanted to be like man. And we preached that Jesus 238 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,480 became a man and he did. Don't get me wrong, he did. 239 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,560 And he suffered on our account. He was tempted on all accounts. 240 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,680 He could sympathize with our weaknesses, but God never wanted 241 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,920 that. See, we like say, wow, God loved 242 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,960 us so much, he became a man. No, the reason he became a man 243 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,480 and so we could be like him because originally he said let 244 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,680 us make man in our image according to our likeness and 245 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,480 let them rule and have dominion. God's plan for man was always 246 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:32,960 that man would be like God, not that God would be like man, but 247 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,880 we want to identify with God through our humanity. 248 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,680 And I really wish God would release this word I have 249 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:49,240 concerning God is not a man, so we cannot approach him from our 250 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,840 human aspect, even though we know he can identify with our 251 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,640 humanity because he became a human, because he gave dominion 252 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,480 to a human that lost the dominion in the first garden 253 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,160 where Jesus gained it in the ladder garden. 254 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,640 And so that we can have the life that He originally gave us in 255 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,960 the garden in the 1st place, and that we would be like God we are 256 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,800 children of, and He wants us to revel in that. 257 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,880 Hallelujah. So man's character of this Plumb 258 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,440 line may be compared to masonry in several aspects. 259 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,880 It has one foundation. Walls are built not upon 2, but 260 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:38,160 upon one foundation. So is every man's character. 261 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:43,720 There are some one principle on which it is organized. 262 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,240 That principle is the paramount affection of the man. 263 00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:51,080 Whatever he loves most governs him. 264 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,520 If he loves pleasure most, his character is sensual. 265 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,680 If he loves money most, his character is worldly. 266 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,840 If he loves wisdom most, his character is philosophic. 267 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,720 If he loves God most, his character is divine. 268 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,600 Hallelujah. And our character is to be that 269 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,720 which is divine. It is our Plumb line. 270 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,200 Isaiah 2816 and 17 says this. Therefore, thus says the Lord 271 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:28,640 God, Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, a 272 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,960 costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. 273 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,680 He who believes in it will not be disturbed. 274 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,040 Come on, who is the cornerstone? What's his name? 275 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,400 Come on, what's his name? His name's Jesus. 276 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,160 Jesus is the cornerstone by which God the Father drops from 277 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,960 heaven his plum line of which he peers into the character of man 278 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,800 and says to those who call on the name of Jesus to be saved, 279 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,560 He says, now it's within you the ability to be straight. 280 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,320 The new birth gives you the ability to be straight. 281 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,960 Now what do I mean? Righteous, holy, just in 282 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,120 alignment with God, no imperfections. 283 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,040 Here's the thing, God knows that through the light, through your 284 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,880 life and the renewing of your mod, in essence He is saying 285 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,880 here's Christ, you're in Christ, this is out. 286 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,760 I'm pushing it in or I'm cutting that off. 287 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,880 This is too far, we're going to pull that back out. 288 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,080 He's constantly looking at you and He's examining you according 289 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:50,120 to this Plumb line in this dispensation and was awesome. 290 00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:54,400 Unlike the old dispensation with the nature of man could not 291 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,360 change in ours, the nature of man does change. 292 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,960 We become new creatures in Christ. 293 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,280 We are set up on His foundation, and if we allow the Holy Spirit 294 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,040 to renew our minds through the reading of the Word, the 295 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,920 studying of the Word, and through the gifts associated 296 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,600 with the Church, then we will cut things off. 297 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,120 We will get things right, We will make adjustments. 298 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,400 Why? Because when God's peering over 299 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:26,120 it, He'll be able to say that is my servant or my child in whom 300 00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:30,600 I'm well, well pleased. Hallelujah. 301 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,440 So again, you understand as an apostle or pastor or teacher of 302 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:40,840 the Word, you understand a lot of times the gifts get attacked 303 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,880 because God is using our voices to mess with your wall. 304 00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:55,840 And instead of you saying thank you, Lord Jesus, you just want 305 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,400 me to be straight in every aspect of my life, Hallelujah. 306 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,280 I mean, when the Lord spoke to me on a physical sense of 307 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,280 alignment, he says, Son, you need to get your diet together. 308 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,480 I'm like, Lord, I'm not overweight, you know, I work 309 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,760 out, he says. You don't know what that food is 310 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,920 doing to your insides. Later on when I had blood work 311 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:23,280 years later, come to find out I had some vascular slug things 312 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,560 within my vascular system that didn't show up on the outside, 313 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,640 but on the inside. It was the steps towards heart 314 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:36,440 disease. Just because I could burn things 315 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,040 off didn't mean it wasn't leaving a residue. 316 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,640 But by the spirit He spoke to me. 317 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,440 Why? Because he wants me to be in 318 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:50,560 alignment with him, spirit, soul and body, in order to accomplish 319 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,040 the work that he's called me to do. 320 00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:55,960 And what he's called me to do requires me to be able to 321 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:02,120 physically manage and move. In fact, one particular prophet, 322 00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:06,600 Kenneth E Hagin, he went from a teacher to a prophet later on in 323 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,320 life. He himself admitted, He said, I 324 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:14,600 wish I had taken care of my body better because he said on the 325 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:20,080 inside I'm strong, vibrant, but my physical man just cannot stay 326 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,480 up. There was a challenge. 327 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,400 And you know, I get a little bit older every year and, you know, 328 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,400 so things are different each year and I have to be very, I 329 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,320 have to be more intentional. I could be less disciplined when 330 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:42,520 I was younger, it seemed, however, I can't afford it as 331 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,680 much. It shows up quicker. 332 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:51,680 You're like, what's that right now again, somebody may look at 333 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,000 me and say, what are you complaining about? 334 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,680 It's all relative. Listen, I'm not judging my body 335 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,080 against your body. I'm judging my body against his 336 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,760 word and what I'm called to do period. 337 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,800 And so that to me is what's important. 338 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,680 Acts chapter 17, verses 30 to 31. 339 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,840 It says. Therefore, having overlooked the 340 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,680 times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people 341 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,440 everywhere should repent, because He has fixed today which 342 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,880 he will judge the world in righteousness through a man whom 343 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,520 he has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by 344 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,840 raising him from the dead. Amos comes at a time that the 345 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:45,240 nation of Israel has gone, has rebelled against God for 346 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:50,760 generations. And let me just say it this way 347 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,520 because I I've got another, I got a few things working. 348 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,760 And when God delivered in Egypt, they took gods with them and 349 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,760 they had them the whole time they were in the wilderness. 350 00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:09,680 And there were groups that were sacrificing to them the whole 351 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,800 time they were in the wilderness. 352 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,160 This bears out in. Other prophets words and in the 353 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,240 New Testament specifically of the of the gods that they 354 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,640 brought from Egypt, even though they watched, God himself 355 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:32,080 delivered them. And I would say in. 356 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,680 The new Covenant. When you know what God. 357 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,440 'S done for you to give you life, yet you still have other 358 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,920 idols in your life you keep carrying along. 359 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,200 That you keep putting in. Front of God that becomes a 360 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:50,240 decision first for you and churches later. 361 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,760 Now, I say church because again, it's a little bit of 362 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,360 controversy, you know, within the Saints world. 363 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,760 But the reality is you need to get revelation that you are 364 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:07,760 trying to amputate, are trying to decapitate Jesus every time 365 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,640 you act like the church is not important or that it's 366 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,960 secondary. Jesus is not the head of you. 367 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,440 He's the head of the. Of which you're a part of once 368 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:32,200 you're born again. Hallelujah and the body. 369 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,160 Is where he assigns you, not where you pick. 370 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,880 All right, First Timothy, chapter one, say Amen. 371 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,200 Anyway, First Timothy, chapter one, verse 18 and 20. 372 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,760 I'll be even more bold than that. 373 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,040 This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance 374 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,880 with the prophecies previously made concerning you. 375 00:26:53,760 --> 00:27:00,640 That by them. You fight the good fight how 376 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,520 verse 19 keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have 377 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,680 rejected and suffered a shipwreck in regard to their 378 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:17,880 faith among them are and he names them Paul names them. 379 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,560 You know who they are. Now. 380 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,440 Now this is a. Letter to Timothy. 381 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,760 I'm not telling you that it was a letter to the whole church 382 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,680 body. All I know is it made it to the 383 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,240 canonization. And as the church, we are aware 384 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,040 of these two individuals and they have shipwrecked their 385 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,200 face, so much of which Paul moves into a prayer life for 386 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,640 them, that most believers are not praying for Saints this way. 387 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,480 Whom I have. Handed over to Satan. 388 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,600 So that they will be. Taught not to blasphemy, Paul 389 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,960 was more concerned about these two people based upon the 390 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:03,640 revelation and how they have function in the Kingdom of God 391 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,840 that by turning now they are at risk of blasphemy of the Holy 392 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,880 Spirit. And he is like, it's better that 393 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,480 I would send them on over to darkness, pray that the enemy 394 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,880 would go ahead and eradicate them, take them out of the 395 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,480 planet where they could still be present with the Lord, than them 396 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:27,200 to totally abandoned and reject Jesus, the one who saved them in 397 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,760 the first place. And love does that. 398 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,840 But what do we see? Out of this passive scripture, 399 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,800 first and foremost, a word is spoken over Timothy and Paul was 400 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,200 saying in order for you to accomplish that which was spoken 401 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,200 to you, you're going to have to fight the good fight of faith. 402 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:53,400 As we Pastor Mike ministered on Wednesday Apostle Marcy spoke in 403 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,560 prayer today and last week prophet Doctor Mary Francis said 404 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,520 contend for your destiny. And when she said that she 405 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,040 wasn't talking about your personal destiny. 406 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,920 She's talking about the destiny you have connected with the 407 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,600 church because when she was praying for us, she was praying 408 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,560 for the church, not just for us individually, although she was 409 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,120 listening. That if God had something that 410 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,640 she would be sensitive to move. And I'm just going to be honest 411 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,480 with you, she had nothing on anyone except my wife and I 412 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,480 because she knew us as the overseers and that's it. 413 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,880 She did not know your name, did not know your circumstance. 414 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,600 It was when she was in service, she was able to come over and 415 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,400 talk to you about worship and your leadership because she saw 416 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,240 something then or you hear me now, I'm not telling you that 417 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,760 she couldn't have seen a face, couldn't have done that. 418 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,000 But the majority time she's seeing it as she's with me and 419 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:52,160 she's sensitive to that. On our occasion, she was. 420 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:57,160 God spoke to her about us. And there were things mentioned. 421 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,720 In at the Olive Garden that she didn't entirely mention to the 422 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,120 whole church. So that's for my wife and I 423 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,680 Hallelujah. And she just confirmed things 424 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,560 that we already knew. And it let me know. 425 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,320 God knows. And what I've been praying. 426 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,480 He's heard. Hallelujah. 427 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,600 And he'll do exactly what he says. 428 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,280 Amen. Praise the Lord, But let me tell 429 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,960 you this, the Bible is full of prophecies about you already. 430 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,280 The Bible prophecies. That all men would repent, which 431 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,320 means there's a prophecy that you would be right with God and 432 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,960 He wants you to fulfill that. There's a prophecy that you'd be 433 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,520 in do with power from on high He wants you to fulfill. 434 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,840 That there's a prophecy about you having the authority of a 435 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,720 believer and walking as ruling in reign in this life. 436 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,520 There's prophecies already about you about living by the Spirit 437 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,360 and not according to the flesh. And if you would just fulfill 438 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,840 those and fight the good fight of faith, you can accomplish 439 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,760 your purpose. And the thing that is? 440 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:05,440 What's so crazy is that Saints will abandoned church to get out 441 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,880 in sectors of society, but you can't help sectors of society if 442 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,760 you don't stay connected to the church properly. 443 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,280 Because the reality is it is these two individuals that begin 444 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,320 to peer back into society and separation. 445 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,440 He Paul even wrote of another man by the name of Demas and 446 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,640 said this he has abandoned me for he has love for the world 447 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,880 has shown back up. In essence, he started to align 448 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,840 his life with the Plumb line of the world. 449 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,400 And let me tell you, we live in a world that is seen. 450 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:43,160 And even though you may be born again, you can align yourself 451 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,440 with the culture of the world and the way it does. 452 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:51,000 And the devil is easy to accommodate you with scripture 453 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:58,040 to get you out of alignment. You say I don't believe. 454 00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,120 He can do that. Really. 455 00:31:59,120 --> 00:31:59,840 He did it. Did you? 456 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,960 He tried to do it to Jesus. Jesus said when he said, hey, if 457 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,320 you're the Son of God, turn this stone into bread. 458 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,320 He said, man shall not live on bread alone. 459 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,200 But I have every word that proceed out of the mouth, right? 460 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,760 It is written. So then the devil comes back and 461 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,600 says, you know what else is written so. 462 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,920 He used. Scripture to try to get Jesus 463 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,280 out of alignment. And if you don't know. 464 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,240 How to rightly divide? Guess what? 465 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,400 He'll get you out of alignment using Scripture. 466 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,040 He'll say, you know what? The Lord wants you to take this 467 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,360 job and prosper you, so you're going to have to move. 468 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,440 OK, man, because you know the Lord wants to prosper you. 469 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,640 Well, yeah, he does. But yet the Lord doesn't want 470 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,600 you to move. Because there's no church. 471 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,560 That you're going to nor body he's planting you in. 472 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,400 But we have to. Fight the good fight of faith to 473 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,360 the things that were spoken to us, because if we do not, we can 474 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,560 find ourselves suffering shipwreck. 475 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,720 The Plumb line still exists today, even though the blood of 476 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,240 Christ has been shed. Because the standard. 477 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,280 Is the Lord. He never. 478 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,960 Ever. Nor is it preached this way. 479 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,280 To be born again gives you the ability to stay out of alignment 480 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,280 in the world until you come home. 481 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:33,440 Ecclesiastes 12. We're closing down now 13. 482 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,040 And 14. Says the conclusion. 483 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:41,440 When all has been heard. Is fear God keep his 484 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,000 commandments? Because this applies. 485 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:51,760 This applies 2 Come on, finish it. 2 Are you a person? 486 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:58,280 It applies to you, for God will bring every act to judgment. 487 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:06,040 How many acts? Who's this applied to Lost and 488 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,520 saved? Now again in the. 489 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,199 Church, because we're not rightly divine the word of 490 00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:13,280 truth. We're saying, oh, I'm born 491 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,560 again. I'm free from judgment. 492 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,880 No, you're not. You are free from. 493 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:28,080 Eternal damnation. That's that's that's in. 494 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:35,480 Existence OK, but judgment is there nonetheless for what 495 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,360 you've done in Christ. He says so he goes on. 496 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,440 For God will bring every act to judgment. 497 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,000 Everything. Which is what? 498 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,120 Whether it is doesn't matter. Now let me get you into the new 499 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,600 covenant because again, I know I'm reading out Ecclesiastes, 500 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:55,480 but King Solomon had insight into this because King Solomon 501 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,360 started this thing out. Lord, give me wisdom to follow 502 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,520 your people. And the Lord's like, man, that's 503 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,160 pretty amazing. You're not asking about anything 504 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,760 for yourself. She didn't. 505 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,520 Ask for a long life. You didn't ask for the death of 506 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,040 your enemy. You didn't ask for wealth. 507 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,360 You. Asked for the. 508 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,920 Wisdom from me to lead my people. 509 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,600 You understand your responsibility. 510 00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:15,960 Man. I wish Saints would have that 511 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,080 same responsibility today. That our first thought was not. 512 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,040 About Lord Prosper me Lord, you know how they're attacking me. 513 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:30,480 It's at work. Lord, I just want to live. 514 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,560 Forever let me have a healthy life. 515 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,320 Solomon didn't ask about himself. 516 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:36,960 He said. Give me wisdom to lead others 517 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,920 that are yours. That's a big picture. 518 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,680 The problem is, as he was moving in that endeavor, and though the 519 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,720 Holy Spirit could come upon him because he was a king, the 520 00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:54,120 reality is, is that he allowed his wives and he did not keep 521 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,160 what was written from the law of Moses. 522 00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,440 That the king is supposed to have the law writ, writ, read 523 00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:04,320 before him, and he was to ride it out every year himself. 524 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,040 And because he did not do it, he violated things that would have 525 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:14,480 kept his soul. And then because of all. 526 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,400 The treaties and things he did with women, then they brought in 527 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,800 their gods from their countries and he began to appease them. 528 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,040 And that the then this whole Ecclesiastes is how I started 529 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,440 with God. Now I just went and tried to see 530 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,920 what it was like for myself. And he has come to a conclusion 531 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,600 and this is the conclusion. Fear God, keep his commandments 532 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,400 because he's going to judge every act whether good or evil. 533 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,200 Romans chapter 2 verse 16 says is on the day when according to 534 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:53,560 my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ 535 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,640 Jesus. And then the last scripture. 536 00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:03,480 Is this Second Corinthians 510 For we all, for we must, For we 537 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,920 must all. Appear before the judgment. 538 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,320 Seat of Christ Now not everyone appeared before the judgment. 539 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,600 Seat of Christ because those that are never called on the day 540 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,680 of the Lord, they'll go before the great white throne of God 541 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,640 and Thrones are in kingdoms not religions and judgment has to do 542 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,720 with a judicial system that the Kingdom of God is because the. 543 00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:28,720 Bible's actually about a. King his Kingdom in his royal 544 00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:33,360 offspring, of which God is the judge, and He is the only 545 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,400 righteous one, of which he holds the Plumb line. 546 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,320 And so we're all going. To appear before the judgment 547 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:46,840 seat of Christ, so that each one may be huh, recompensed, 548 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:51,000 rewarded for his deeds in the body according to what he has 549 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,760 done, whether good or bad. So even as a believer, God will 550 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,680 judge your motives. He knows what's in your. 551 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,480 Heart. He knows what's going on. 552 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:06,320 He knows why you do what you do. And all the while he's sticking 553 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,840 out his Plumb line. He's saying now do this because 554 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:14,080 of this, because if you do this because of this, you're out. 555 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,120 You're not in alignment. You may be on the foundation of 556 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:23,080 the rock, but your walls getting off. 557 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,960 You're leaning one way. Or the other, and if you keep 558 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,040 going in this direction, you'll lean either too far in or too 559 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:38,720 far out and you'll fall and grade is the fall. 560 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,920 But the foundation will stay steady. 561 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,360 I said it'll stay steady. And This is why we've seen 562 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,960 people that started the first few layers of their life on the 563 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,280 wall straight, pure. They were in church serving God, 564 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,600 hungry for the word, worshipping him, totally engaged. 565 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,280 But then all of a sudden, somewhere along the line, some 566 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,160 things got pushed out of alignment and they allowed those 567 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,320 things to stay. And when the world was trying to 568 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,400 make them adjustments they didn't do till eventually they 569 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,480 got out and they fail and all this, they're back to the the 570 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,920 few layers that were true. And I would much rather fall and 571 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:20,160 get to a few layers that are true and rebuild of which God is 572 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,680 a Redeemer of time, glory to God. 573 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,960 See, the biggest lie the devil can tell you is that if you've 574 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,000 gotten out or you've gotten in and you're leaning and you're 575 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,560 falling and you can't get back in alignment, he's a liar. 576 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,600 Not only can he get you, God get you in alignment, but he could 577 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,720 double time to build into that wall and get you back to where 578 00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:40,880 you supposed to be before he returns. 579 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,600 But there is a sliver of time coming. 580 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:46,920 Just like with. Israel. 581 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,840 Because what did he tell? He said I got my Plumb line out 582 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,640 this time I will not pass over, which means he had come by 583 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,600 before and he says that's out and that's out and that isn't in 584 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,200 alignment and this isn't right. And that needs to be fixed. 585 00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:06,080 So prophet, you go and say this, and prophet, you go and say 586 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,560 that, and prophet, you go and do that. 587 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,600 Because all that's about getting them in alignment. 588 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,160 But they did not heed the words of the prophet. 589 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,160 In essence, what did they do? They put them in prison and they 590 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,840 killed them and they persecuted them. 591 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,760 And then finally he said, Amos, I'm pulling out the line. 592 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:28,200 This time I will not go by. I'm tearing it all. 593 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,040 Down. I'm going to get it straight. 594 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,040 And in the last. Of the last days, he's doing 595 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:41,000 that in the believer's life. He says the time of ignorance is 596 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,400 there, but he's coming and you need to get it straight. 597 00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:50,440 You need your Kingdom character to produce. 598 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:57,360 It's not your religion of. Jesus, it's the King and what he 599 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:57,840 says.
