00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,560
Thanks for checking out the 
Anchor Faith Message podcast 

2
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:06,960
from St. 
Augustine, FL. 

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:16,160
Now enjoy this message. 
Hallelujah. 

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,440
Now, now we're ready. 
Luke chapter 12 verse 32 says 

5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,000
this. 
Do not be afraid. 

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,760
Do not be afraid. 
Who's talking? 

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,280
Come on, who's talking? 
Who's talking Jesus? 

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,120
So why do we do things Jesus 
tells us not to do? 

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,320
If you do things that Jesus 
tells you not to do, then it's 

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,560
sin. 
If you do not keep His word, 

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,640
it's sin. 
Jesus says do not be afraid we 

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,120
He has not given us the spirit 
of fear. 

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,000
There's nothing going on in the 
planet today that would cause us

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,320
any fear or trepidation. 
We do not have fear. 

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,280
We are not to be afraid. 
And why is that? 

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,760
He said, do not be afraid, 
little flock, for your Father 

17
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:04,000
has chosen gladly to give you 
the Kingdom, not heaven. 

18
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,360
Although heaven comes if you 
leave your body, you'll get 

19
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,480
there, right? 
And you'll get there as long as 

20
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,960
Jesus is there 'cause He's not 
going to stay there forever. 

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,600
But at the end of the day, the 
Kingdom of God you can access 

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:22,120
now and it's He loves for you to
have access to His Kingdom. 

23
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:25,800
And when you have access to his 
Kingdom, there is No Fear. 

24
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,280
There's No Fear, there's No 
Fear. 

25
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,040
There's No Fear because I'm not 
even afraid of what man can do 

26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,240
to me. 
I'm not even afraid that if a 

27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,640
man came and martyred me, killed
me for my faith in Christ, it 

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,760
doesn't matter because I can 
shed my blood here. 

29
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,960
He thinks he's taken me out of 
the earth, but my blood is still

30
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:49,200
talking, and it will talk for 
generations, so much so that the

31
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,960
great Court will show up and try
that individual for the crime of

32
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,320
murdering me. 
If they do not repent. 

33
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,160
If they repent, I'll welcome 
them, those who killed me with 

34
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,960
open arms, as my brethren, 
because they were deceived, 

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,680
lost, and didn't realize it. 
But if they do not, my King will

36
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,199
judge them and put them into the
lake of fire. 

37
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,320
No blood is ever spilt and not 
reckoned with. 

38
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,200
Never happens. 
All right, so at the end of the 

39
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,760
day, what am I afraid of? 
I'm not afraid of who's in 

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,840
power. 
I'm not afraid who gets elected.

41
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,640
I'll be a part of the process. 
I'd look for righteous people, 

42
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:30,200
people who are are sensitive to 
the word, who are favorable to 

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,080
the church. 
I'm definitely going to vote for

44
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,560
those individuals. 
I do not vote for parties. 

45
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,400
I vote for individuals that have
favored towards the church and 

46
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,560
the calls of God. 
However, if something gets in 

47
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,640
the mix and they do not arrive 
into government power, it 

48
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:49,080
doesn't stop my government 
because the king is on the 

49
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,520
throne. 
He's not been voted into power. 

50
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:54,840
He's not going to be dethroned. 
He still's going to win and be 

51
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,680
victorious and he's with me. 
And if God is for me, who can be

52
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,200
against me? 
So do not be afraid little 

53
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,840
flock. 
Your Father has chosen gladly to

54
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,720
give you the Kingdom. 
Now here's the thing, if you 

55
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,520
don't understand Kingdom, you 
can't get it. 

56
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,200
Jesus says this in Matthew 417. 
We're using words here that most

57
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,720
people don't understand because 
again, at the end of the day, 

58
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,240
they assume Kingdom is heaven. 
He said from that time Jesus 

59
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,360
began to preach and say repent, 
for the Kingdom of heaven is at 

60
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,520
hand. 
Now there's a Kingdom of heaven 

61
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,160
and there's a Kingdom of God, 
but there's a Kingdom that 

62
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,520
command that is already a 
manifestation in heaven and he 

63
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,640
wants that Kingdom to manifest 
in the earth. 

64
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,040
We know this because in Matthew 
chapter six, he says when you 

65
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,400
pray, pray this way. 
Our Father, that's your Father, 

66
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,640
my Father, and Jesus is Father, 
our Father, who art in heaven, 

67
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,240
hallowed be your name, your 
Kingdom come, your will be done 

68
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,120
on earth as it is in heaven. 
So Kingdom can't be heaven 

69
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,760
because Kingdom can be in the 
earth. 

70
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,760
Kingdom is the government rule 
of the king, it's his domain. 

71
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,480
So there is no such thing as 
separation of church and state 

72
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,760
in the Bible because the state 
of the church is the Kingdom. 

73
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,400
In fact the the church is the 
legislative assembly. 

74
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,480
If you read the passions 
translation and again if you 

75
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,760
break it down in the Greek, it 
literally means that. 

76
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,800
So they actually actually 
interpreted that phrase church 

77
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,680
correctly. 
Ecclesia or ecclesia. 

78
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,000
It is called out ones or 
separated ones. 

79
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,840
It was not a new term. 
It was a term Jesus used 

80
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:27,840
intentionally to say Rome has a 
called out one or a Senate, a 

81
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,200
legislative assembly, a body of 
governing people. 

82
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,800
I I have one too. 
We call it church, which is 

83
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,840
giving it a religious 
connotation. 

84
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,760
But in God's ears, church is not
religious. 

85
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,640
It's actually the embassy by 
which all the ambassadors come 

86
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,840
together to hear from the home 
country. 

87
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,040
So when we go out into this 
world, this planet among people 

88
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,800
who are lost, separated from 
God, we say, I do not represent 

89
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,200
myself, but my king in the words
that I speak. 

90
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,200
I only say what he says because 
I don't represent me, I 

91
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,200
represent him. 
And when we actually live like 

92
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,800
that, then the Kingdom power of 
God can show up in our lives and

93
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,760
through our lives. 
Now here's the thing, you can't 

94
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,120
represent a Kingdom if you're 
not listening to the one who's 

95
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,440
king of the Kingdom. 
So that's why Jesus says repent.

96
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,200
Repent is not a religious word. 
It literally means change your 

97
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,400
thinking. 
One translation says it this 

98
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,680
way. 
Side with my party, what would 

99
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,320
be a case in point today, if you
are a registered Democrat and 

100
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,600
you got you, you left that party
and went over and registered as 

101
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,120
a Republican or vice versa. 
That is changing sides. 

102
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,320
And at this point, those two 
particular parties are, you 

103
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,760
know, almost are on polar 
opposites from each other. 

104
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,080
So we were in the domain of 
darkness. 

105
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,320
We were under the power and sway
of the enemy. 

106
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,920
Our Daddy, our Father, is the 
father of lies of which we were 

107
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,920
children of because all of sin 
and fallen short of the glory of

108
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,880
God. 
We all committed rebellion and 

109
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,320
treason against the crown of 
God, and we were under the sway 

110
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,200
of our Father the devil. 
But Jesus, while we were yet 

111
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,960
sinners, died for us. 
Paid the payment of the penalty 

112
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,760
that was communicated to Adam in
the garden. 

113
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:29,760
Should he eat the fruit. 
That that word is still in play 

114
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:37,320
today, still in play, and will 
be acted on. 

115
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,800
It's still in play. 
Adam, if you eat of the fruit, 

116
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,800
you're going to die. 
He ate the fruit. 

117
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,720
He became a fall in a fallen 
nature. 

118
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,080
He lost dominion. 
He gave his dominion over to the

119
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,680
devil whom he serves. 
Then all humanity now, because 

120
00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:01,880
we are born of that seed, is 
lost, separated from God, dead. 

121
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:07,880
However, God said on that day 
after the fall of man, he said 

122
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,960
I'll bring my seed through the 
woman and he's going to crush 

123
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,840
the enemy, which means I'm going
to pay the price associated with

124
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,760
death. 
It has to be paid however you 

125
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:28,600
just don't receive it unless you
bow to Jesus cause Lord is not a

126
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,680
religious word, it is supreme in
authority. 

127
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,320
Jesus is the King of Kings and 
the Lord of Lords. 

128
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,920
We are leaving the allegiance to
the devil and his realm and his 

129
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,840
Kingdom and his way of doing and
his behavior and his thinking 

130
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,320
and it all that he does. 
And we are bowing our knee to 

131
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,960
Jesus Christ the King because he
paid the price to live, berate 

132
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,880
us and allow us to get back into
the position that Adam wants 

133
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,200
hell, which is a position of 
dominion. 

134
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,880
OK, so a Kingdom to find. 
Is this a Kingdom? 

135
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,920
Is the government influence of a
king over his territory, 

136
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,920
impacting it with his personal 
will, purpose and intent, 

137
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,880
producing citizens expressed, 
expressing the culture, values, 

138
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,480
morals, lifestyles, reflecting 
the King's nature? 

139
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,600
So Jesus said, My father has 
chosen gladly to give you the 

140
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,920
Kingdom, but you understand 
this, You can't have a Kingdom, 

141
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,640
that you're not functioning in 
it as the Kingdom will allow. 

142
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,520
The Kingdom has a value, a 
moral, a lifestyle associated 

143
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,480
with it. 
In fact, you weren't allowed 

144
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,840
into that Kingdom with your old 
nature. 

145
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,800
No man could get into that 
Kingdom on his own merits. 

146
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,640
No one could do their own 
personal good to be acknowledged

147
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,560
by God. 
That you can get over my Kingdom

148
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:58,360
and serve here. 
It was not available for all 

149
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,760
have sinned. 
However, Christ died so he made 

150
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,680
the way. 
He said I'm the door, you can 

151
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:07,000
come on in. 
He told Nicodemus. 

152
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,160
He said if a man is born again 
or born from above, he can enter

153
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,920
or see the Kingdom. 
Now, again, God never intended 

154
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:19,160
for you just to enter and stand 
at the threshold like most 

155
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,720
Christians do. 
They, they leave the domain of 

156
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,000
darkness. 
You know, this would be the 

157
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,760
door. 
They're at the threshold. 

158
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,240
They get in, they're inside the 
house, but they're in the 

159
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,160
threshold. 
And so they're like, I'm born 

160
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:41,000
again. 
But they do this, you know, and 

161
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:48,000
they do it so much that they're 
like, they're living like this. 

162
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,840
They got their little pinky toe.
I mean, when I say pinky toe, 

163
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,280
I'm talking about the nail on 
the pinky toe. 

164
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,120
Still on the threshold. 
You remember Jesus, I called on 

165
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,760
you once. 
That's not lordship. 

166
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,840
Lordship is I'm in the house. 
Shut the door to that. 

167
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,920
I'm done with that. 
I'm done with that. 

168
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,760
Now here's the thing, when you 
get in and you're done with 

169
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,760
that, you don't think this way 
yet. 

170
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:18,560
That's why the Kingdom says 
repent. 

171
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:24,440
Jesus saying your thinking is 
completely off, but I can change

172
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,720
it. 
I can change it. 

173
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,800
So what you can't do is get your
spirit right. 

174
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,960
Only God could do that. 
And when you call on the name of

175
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,320
the Lord, supreme authority to 
be saved, you become a new 

176
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,680
creature in Christ. 
The old passes away. 

177
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:44,120
That means that dead spirit is 
evicted from your skin suit and 

178
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,640
cut off from your soul. 
You are three-part B. 

179
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,400
It is cut off from that. 
Then he puts a new spirit in 

180
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,840
you. 
Not renovated, not remodeled, 

181
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,680
brand new. 
And it looks like Jesus. 

182
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:02,760
Hallelujah. 
And only God could do that. 

183
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,280
But then he says now that this 
spirit is alive to me and like 

184
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,320
me, I'm going to move the Holy 
Ghost in. 

185
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,200
And now He's going to start 
teaching you. 

186
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,960
Why? 
Because your soul still has 

187
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,800
residual thinking from the old 
way of living. 

188
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,280
And we've got to clean up the 
attic. 

189
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,240
Some of y'all need to clean up 
the attic. 

190
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:32,000
All right, so the Bible tells us
the saving of our soul is ours. 

191
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,640
We are to work out our salvation
with fear and trembling. 

192
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,720
It is not working out. 
So our spirit man's right with 

193
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,200
God so that we're right with 
God. 

194
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,360
Only God could do that. 
But we are working out our mind,

195
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,360
our soul realm to get in line 
with our new created spirit who 

196
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,400
can hear God, wants to hear God,
and is not in any position to 

197
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:57,560
want us in our new spirit. 
Man in Christ will resist 

198
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:03,480
temptation every time. 
It's that strong every time. 

199
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,320
If if you falter in a 
temptation, you've done it 

200
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,360
within your mind realm, in your 
soul realm, because you started 

201
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,560
looking at the scene instead of 
remembering who you are. 

202
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,400
All right, so tonight then we 
need to talk about another 

203
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,000
Kingdom principle. 
You know, the last couple 

204
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,400
Wednesdays we talked about the 
Kingdom Code of Ethics 

205
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,880
principle. 
If you weren't here, you can go 

206
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,560
online and listen to it. 
But tonight I want to remind you

207
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:33,720
about the Kingdom education 
principle. 

208
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,040
And that is the education system
is designed to transfer, 

209
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,240
reinforce and teach with 
repetition, say with repetition,

210
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,080
say with repetition, say with 
repetition, say with repetition,

211
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,720
the laws, the values, morals and
manners of the king and the 

212
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,800
Kingdom to succeeding 
generations and new citizens 

213
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:01,640
with repetition. 
So you know, the church has this

214
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,320
problem. 
When I say the church, I don't 

215
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,440
know that I'm saying the one 
Jesus is building. 

216
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,040
But people that go to church 
that call themselves believers, 

217
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,720
they are only concerned about 
where they're going to go when 

218
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,080
they die. 
So they know that if I that if I

219
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,560
accept Jesus as Savior, could we
love Savior Jesus? 

220
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:27,560
He saved me from going to hell. 
Lord Jesus, a whole nother ball 

221
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,080
game. 
Whole nother ball game. 

222
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,640
Because we love Savior Jesus. 
Because again, we love anything 

223
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,040
that we do wrong and someone 
saves us and keeps us from 

224
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,240
wrong, but yet we don't actually
have to change. 

225
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,000
We like that kind of saving Lord
is a whole another ball game 

226
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,040
because now you've got to yield 
your will, your thoughts, your 

227
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,000
way of doing. 
And some of us just think we're 

228
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,440
way smarter than God after 
salvation. 

229
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,240
Now we weren't smart enough to 
get in without him, but now that

230
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,760
we're in, we're smarter than him
to stay there and to behave like

231
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,760
we want to. 
We want to teach Jesus doctrine.

232
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,160
So the Lord says, I'm going to 
bring you into here. 

233
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,720
You're going to be alive unto me
through your spirit. 

234
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,840
But we're going to have to 
change your thinking. 

235
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,200
Got to get your mind right. 
You need to go to class and in 

236
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,080
order to go to class, you have 
to go through repetition. 

237
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,200
But again, what happens? 
Most believers, you know, they 

238
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,520
just want to go on to the next 
thing. 

239
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,320
They don't want to keep hearing 
the same stuff. 

240
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,680
The problem is if you do not 
know the concept of addition or 

241
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,400
or multiplication, let me go 
ahead and get over into English 

242
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,240
'cause I'm dealing with that 
grammar right now. 

243
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,960
You understand if you don't 
understand about simple 

244
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:49,680
sentences, complex sentences or 
clauses, I mean, and I did not 

245
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:56,960
know, I have to change my 
thinking. 

246
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,640
OK, so again, at the end of the 
day, some of you went to school,

247
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,560
you took precalculus like I did,
but if I put that test in front 

248
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,320
of you, you would fail. 
And why would you fail? 

249
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:15,040
Because you lack the repetition 
to keep the subject there. 

250
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,160
So in the natural, we know if we
don't keep a repetition, we lose

251
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,320
what we have. 
Same thing in the realm of the 

252
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,480
gym. 
It was your body. 

253
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,200
If you don't keep a repetition 
with your body, you lose it. 

254
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:33,480
I, I can testify, I let go in 
March when we went to the 

255
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,680
Mediterranean. 
Everything is healthier there. 

256
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,200
We're going to eat it all 13 lbs
later. 

257
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,880
How do I gain 13 lbs with 
nothing but healthy food? 

258
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,280
Because you can't pull off 
restraints. 

259
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,160
Because the fat cells that I 
suck dry and said you can't be 

260
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,280
fat anymore in my body, right? 
These particular cells, they 

261
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:58,080
found a way. 
They found a way. 

262
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,440
They found a way to come back. 
Well, I fed them. 

263
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,600
Whatever you feed will find a 
way. 

264
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,560
Are you hearing me? 
Yeah. 

265
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,040
So again, when we come in and 
have certain subjects, it's 

266
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,360
amazing how quick a believer 
will check out. 

267
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,400
Oh, I know you don't know, 
'cause you're failing in life. 

268
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,320
You fail with your emotion issue
with your spouse, you're failing

269
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,440
at work. 
You know, you're not hanging on.

270
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,880
You need to say whoa, this is a 
great opportunity for me to 

271
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,720
reinforce and re strengthen so 
that when I get out there, I 

272
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:40,200
don't fail in this capacity. 
So there's no element honestly 

273
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:45,040
of our spirit, of our nature. 
And I it includes the spirit. 

274
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,600
The reality is in the spirit, 
God has done everything in you 

275
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,760
at once at salvation. 
You are the righteousness of God

276
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,720
in Christ. 
It is there, but it will not be 

277
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,280
released unless you develop it, 
period. 

278
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,359
There is a process. 
I'm not going to preach on this.

279
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,960
Pastor Marsha is going to preach
on some spiritual growth coming 

280
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,920
up and starting next Wednesday. 
But yet when you get into the 

281
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,079
Kingdom of God, you are babe in 
Christ. 

282
00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:15,960
It says that. 
That doesn't make you a mature 

283
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,240
believer. 
In fact, Christ is coming back 

284
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,760
for the church without spot or 
wrinkle for a mature church. 

285
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:29,320
Well, why isn't he back yet? 
Because apparently we have not 

286
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:34,840
matured. 
And then you can go into some 

287
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,080
congregations and you feel like 
you're at a preschool. 

288
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,800
You want to know where what the 
preschool churches look like? 

289
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,000
Read Ephesians chapter 6, verse 
one through verse four. 

290
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,600
It'll tell you the elementary 
principles. 

291
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,320
And if that's all the doctrine, 
the church ministers, they, they

292
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,880
are willfully keeping their 
congregation in a childlike 

293
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,600
state spiritually, although 
their spirit man wants to be 

294
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,360
giants and grow and mature and 
take dominion over their soul 

295
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:11,760
and their body. 
But you got to train that that 

296
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,600
doesn't come just because you're
born again. 

297
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,000
It gives you access to it. 
Are you hearing me? 

298
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:22,000
So Matthew 2818 to 20 says this.
And Jesus came up and spoke to 

299
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,600
them, saying, all authority has 
been given to me in heaven and 

300
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,360
on earth. 
Go therefore and make what make 

301
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:32,000
what? 
Come on make what and all of all

302
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,120
the nations baptizing them in 
the name of the Father, Son, the

303
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:37,080
Holy Spirit teaching them, 
teaching them to observe all 

304
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,920
that I commanded you. 
And lo, I'm with you always, 

305
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,600
even to the end of the age. 
Now here's the thing. 

306
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,040
This is how the modern day 
church has changed us. 

307
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,920
I'm going to give you the modern
day. 

308
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,800
Let me, I'm going to give you 
the US Christian Church 

309
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,280
interpretation. 
And Jesus came out, spoke to 

310
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:59,960
them and says authority has been
given to me in heaven and on 

311
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:05,960
earth only to me. 
Go therefore and make converts 

312
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,400
of all nations, baptizing them 
in the name of the Father, Son, 

313
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,640
the Holy Spirit, letting them 
know where they're going to go 

314
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,080
when they're die because they're
sure not going to be able to 

315
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,480
accomplish it while they're 
here. 

316
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,760
And whether they do what I say 
or not, it's really irrelevant 

317
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,960
because all I care about is that
they're born again. 

318
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,920
And lo, I'm with you. 
Even to the end of the age. 

319
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,040
Because I'm not concerned about 
your spiritual growth, I'm only 

320
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,200
concerned about where are you 
going to go when you die, which 

321
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,160
is every other religions 
statement. 

322
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:48,520
That was never Jesus's platform.
Jesus never asked the crowd once

323
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:54,560
where are you going to go when 
you die and he never said that. 

324
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,280
I'm just saying as anchor fake 
church, you need to abandon that

325
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,960
witnessing tool. 
You need to abandon that. 

326
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,520
You need to become more well 
versed in the Kingdom so that 

327
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,480
you so that you can live it, 
demonstrate it and then 

328
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,600
articulate it in a way so that 
people will want to come into 

329
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,520
the Kingdom today instead of 
waiting till they're on their 

330
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:19,320
deathbed. 
And scare tactics is not what 

331
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,160
gets people in the Kingdom. 
Where would you go today if you 

332
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:27,880
died? 
Well, if they're lost, they 

333
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,080
don't know. 
I mean, they just have their own

334
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,880
issue. 
And again, at the end, why do we

335
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,640
limit God's power? 
God's only powerful enough to 

336
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,280
keep you from going to hell, but
he sure can't do nothing with 

337
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,120
you down here on the earth with 
the devil. 

338
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,120
And that's exactly how most 
people live. 

339
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:55,520
But he said go make what 
disciples. 

340
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,120
Disciples is different. 
It means to become a pupil and 

341
00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:03,920
roll as a scholar, say scholar, 
say scholar. 

342
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,720
Now scholar is not some fly by. 
I'm going to study the night 

343
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,160
before the test, but I haven't 
been listening during the 

344
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,600
classes anyway. 
And so I'm going to cram for an 

345
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,880
exam. 
So when I get there, I pass 

346
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,920
enough. 
Then I forget it because now 

347
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,920
that subject's done and we can 
go on to the next thing. 

348
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:31,400
And this is how believers, how 
do I know this? 

349
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,920
They're in trouble. 
So they go cramming scripture 

350
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,600
and cramming the Airways of 
their social media. 

351
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,320
Please pray for me. 
I need a prayer chain. 

352
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:45,680
We need something to happen and 
they're cramming this and God is

353
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,280
merciful. 
He's long-suffering, He is good,

354
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:52,080
He's benevolent. 
He can still do things for his 

355
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,440
children because he's trying to 
get them to identify. 

356
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,160
I do this all the time. 
I'll do this all the time to him

357
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,200
who believes. 
However, when Christ is sitting 

358
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,200
there, they live their own life 
because I know where I'm going 

359
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,840
to go when I die. 
Don't talk to me about anything.

360
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:16,200
What can you teach me anyway? 
Then crisis comes and then they 

361
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,160
come to you because you actually
live it and you get a little 

362
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,000
tired, like I'm not praying for 
you. 

363
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,080
I mean, I understand you do, but
sometimes you think that, right?

364
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,480
Why am I praying for you now? 
Sometimes the Lord can say don't

365
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:36,840
pray for him because God himself
is not going to be abused, taken

366
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,240
advantage of, taken for granted,
manipulated. 

367
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,400
You can't manipulate God. 
You don't manipulate God through

368
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,400
wistful wishful thinking or 
tears. 

369
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,080
God's not moved by tears, He's 
moved by faith. 

370
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,720
Are you hearing me? 
So we are to make disciples. 

371
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,920
Now, in order to become a 
disciple, you must be born 

372
00:22:58,920 --> 00:22:59,880
again. 
You're going to have to be 

373
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,760
converted. 
You're going to have to come out

374
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,080
of the domain of darkness into 
the Kingdom of his beloved Son. 

375
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,880
But the reason why you're coming
out is so that you can become a 

376
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:12,960
scholar, a scholar. 
I said a scholar. 

377
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,200
And you know what? 
I understand that we have 

378
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,240
natural education because you 
understand the church at one 

379
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,640
point was the leader in 
educating humanity. 

380
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:25,640
Well, then the natural 
government got involved. 

381
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,600
Now we have what we call public 
school. 

382
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,120
And so the government says we'll
educate them, and now we're 

383
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:34,240
going to actually educate them 
without any reference to God. 

384
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,600
So now we have a Society of 
people that are wise in their 

385
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,560
own estimation, lifted up in 
pride cause knowledge puffs up, 

386
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:46,200
you know, and as a result of 
that, you know, they are so 

387
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,640
educated, so full of wisdom 
based upon natural things, but 

388
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,400
have no acknowledgement towards 
God. 

389
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,960
And as a result of that, there's
this huge disconnect. 

390
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,840
So what's happened? 
Because you were trained that 

391
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,240
way, when you come to church, 
you don't have the because you'd

392
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,600
hated going to school anyway. 
Very few people in this room 

393
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,160
love school. 
Couldn't wait to get there. 

394
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,720
Very few people. 
So the disdain of that makes 

395
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,280
this a disdain because we don't 
want to be lectured. 

396
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,200
We don't have to hear. 
We don't have to yet. 

397
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,000
This is life. 
Peter's like, where am I going 

398
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,280
to go? 
You have the words of life. 

399
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,320
If you don't see what's being 
ministered at the body that God 

400
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,320
has placed you in in order to 
educate you so you can glad 

401
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,280
because he gladly wants to give 
you the Kingdom and access to 

402
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,800
the Kingdom, then you're going 
to miss out and it's only 

403
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:43,360
because of a lack of self 
restraint and understanding the 

404
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:46,520
value of the word of God in your
life. 

405
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,640
So Doctor Miles Monroe said this
in in his book Applying the 

406
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,600
Kingdom. 
He said learning is more than 

407
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,840
mental knowledge of facts and 
information. 

408
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,400
The knowledge must be 
reproducible. 

409
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,480
In practical terms, this means 
demonstrating the ability to 

410
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,360
perform the action learned as 
well as teach it to someone else

411
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:14,680
so that they can learn it also. 
That's powerful because again, 

412
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,520
what we do if we don't watch out
is we come just to go through a 

413
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,600
class. 
All right, we have new Anchor 

414
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,320
Faith Life classes starting July
7th. 

415
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,040
You can go into our guest 
relations and register for those

416
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,760
now. 
But we have Anchor Faith Life 

417
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,600
classes not so that you can 
because we don't give 

418
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,240
certificates for that. 
You don't get a little 

419
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,400
certificate at the end of it to 
say you complete because people 

420
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,160
just love to get their little 
certificates, right? 

421
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,560
They love to get their little 
degrees. 

422
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,800
They love to get their little 
stuff. 

423
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,040
You know, again, most people 
have degrees on their wall 

424
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:46,400
they're not even functioning in.
They gave the state or that 

425
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:53,320
institution 10s of thousands of 
dollars to receive a degree in a

426
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,240
subject matter that they do not 
function in. 

427
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,520
And I'm supposed to be impressed
with you that I should hire you 

428
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,080
in another echelon for a totally
different just because you have 

429
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:14,440
a degree. 
I could say, well, you weren't 

430
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,720
smart enough to get a degree 
that you were actually going to 

431
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:21,440
function in the rest of your 
life because what you're trained

432
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,520
in, you're not even doing. 
So you're no different than 

433
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,080
someone who has no degree in the
position I'm hiring you. 

434
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,120
So why am I giving you credit 
for a degree that of something 

435
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:36,720
that I'm putting you in now and 
you're not even trained to do 

436
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,000
and it's all over the place? 
You must have a bachelor's to 

437
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,920
apply or a master's no matter 
what it is as long as you have 

438
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,960
it. 
And yet people are hiring people

439
00:26:51,960 --> 00:27:00,280
all the time, yet hiring them in
positions that they were never 

440
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,960
trained in? 
Well, heck, you could walk off 

441
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:09,520
the street and do that same in 
anyway you can go ahead and look

442
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,360
it up yourself. 
The percentage of people who are

443
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:15,000
actually working within the 
degree field they have they they

444
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,920
received, you're going to be 
shocked. 

445
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:23,040
You're going to be shocked. 
So Proverbs 35 and six says this

446
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,680
trust in the Lord with all your 
heart. 

447
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,760
Do not lean on your own 
understanding in all your ways. 

448
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,240
Acknowledge him and he will what
make your path straight. 

449
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:38,520
Now this is really this right 
here is very problematic a lot 

450
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:46,120
of times and again, I I I have 
an honorary degree, OK, but it's

451
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:52,520
not because I haven't done the 
work OK, so there's a couple 

452
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,680
ways you can get them right. 
You can pay money for them, sit 

453
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,040
in the actual classes or you. 
Can do the work yourself. 

454
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,040
And it be recognized that you've
done that work within that 

455
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,360
particular field and as a result
of that you haven't. 

456
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:06,920
I actually the degree that I 
have is within the field that 

457
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,160
I'm doing. 
OK. 

458
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,160
With that being said, I did go 
to Bible school to be trained. 

459
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,680
They just could not issue 
degrees at the time. 

460
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,280
But I'm well equipped because of
that. 

461
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,680
Ultimately, a degree issuing 
university. 

462
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,080
As you know, FCU gave me a 
doctorate few years ago of which

463
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:28,120
I have written eight books, 
right? 

464
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:30,440
We have authored 8 books. 
And again, I didn't panel 

465
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,920
myself, but I sure did do the 
studying because anyone that was

466
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,920
a part of the project had my 
content. 

467
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,760
And I'll just tell you right 
now, people who are on the best 

468
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,480
selling authors of The New York 
Times, which is kind of a 

469
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:50,440
gimmick anyway, but most of them
did not sit down and pin their 

470
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,400
own books. 
All right. 

471
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,960
With that being said, he said do
not lean to your own 

472
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,640
understanding which tells us we 
should never put confidence in 

473
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:07,640
our own personal work ethic 
where you put more value in a 

474
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:12,400
degree you have than in what 
you're receiving by revelation 

475
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:17,920
from God. 
I'm not downplaying the study. 

476
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,040
Again, if you're called to be a 
brain surgeon, please go study 

477
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,920
how to do it. 
I really don't want you to show 

478
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,840
up and say I saw something on 
YouTube. 

479
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Cause seriously, how many of you
go to YouTube? 

480
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,720
Yes, you're going to YouTube on 
how to fix things in your house.

481
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,800
You're not calling the plumber, 
You're not calling an 

482
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,320
electrician, you're not calling 
us. 

483
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,000
Whatever. 
You're looking at a mechanic, 

484
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,720
you're trying to figure it out 
yourself. 

485
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,400
Somebody's got on there. 
You don't know who they are. 

486
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,520
You don't even know if they can 
actually fix the thing that 

487
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:54,560
they're telling you to fix. 
And by all abandonment of faith,

488
00:29:54,720 --> 00:30:00,240
you begin to rip your whole tear
down all of your brake system on

489
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,440
your vehicle. 
I mean, seriously, some of them 

490
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:05,720
don't. 
You don't even go to the end of 

491
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,200
the video to make sure they 
don't say, man, I didn't know 

492
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:13,160
what I was doing because he's 
like, oh, here's one. 

493
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,560
We'll start here. 
Now take this, OK? 

494
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,960
And you start tearing it off and
you don't know how it ends yet. 

495
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,880
That's faith, people. 
That's a confident persuasion 

496
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,640
that someone you don't know is 
going to lead you down the right

497
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:32,680
path to completion. 
Oh Hallelujah and all our ways 

498
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,800
we are to acknowledge Him and 
make our paths straight, and 

499
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,760
that is after salvation. 
But again, if Jesus is only 

500
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,720
where am I going to go when I 
die, then you don't take that 

501
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,960
serious. 
Obviously we do, but many don't 

502
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,880
take that serious because 
they've got it covered. 

503
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,680
I know where I'm going to go 
when I die. 

504
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,200
The rest will work itself out. 
Well let's go on. 

505
00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:00,040
Proverbs 1412 says there is a 
way which seems right to a man, 

506
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,600
but it's bend is the way of 
death. 

507
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,680
So again, the Lord's life before
me, everything you thought was 

508
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,040
right was actually wrong. 
It just led to death. 

509
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,080
And I'm here to correct this 
thinking so that it will be 

510
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,120
different. 
First Corinthians chapter 2 

511
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,080
verse 14 says, But a natural man
does not accept the things of 

512
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,840
the Spirit of God, for they are 
foolishness to him and he cannot

513
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,440
understand them because they are
what spiritually appraised. 

514
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,400
Again, we already know on the 
natural. 

515
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,720
If we do not through repetition 
keep things in front of us, we 

516
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:39,520
can lose that information and 
knowledge because no longer are 

517
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,520
we practicing it. 
We are not keeping it in front 

518
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,360
of us. 
OK, how much more the things of 

519
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:51,080
the Spirit, because God never 
intended for you to learn His 

520
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:58,200
Word for trivia purposes only. 
If you ever get around the 

521
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,600
spiritual elites, you know how I
call them spiritual elites? 

522
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,640
Because they ask what I consider
stupid questions. 

523
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,600
And I say that because it comes 
across like, you know, they want

524
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,920
to attain to some kind of higher
revelation. 

525
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,280
And here's one of them. 
Did Adam and Eve have a belly 

526
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,880
button? 
That is the dumbest thing ever 

527
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,680
because knowledge of that 
doesn't do anything for your 

528
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:29,200
faith. 
Have you you've been around? 

529
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:33,840
They always try to ask these 
obscure questions to try to seem

530
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,320
and, which makes me think. 
That's a trivia person. 

531
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,680
This is a trivia Christian. 
'Cause they're going to let me 

532
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,760
know, you know who killed David,
They're going to let me know 

533
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,120
about Noah and his family. 
They're going to give me all the

534
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,840
talking points. 
They're going to try to impress 

535
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,520
me by telling me who Shadrach, 
Meshach and Abednego in their 

536
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:55,480
original names were, right? 
I mean, they're going to want to

537
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,880
be impressive. 
They're going to exegesis, 

538
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,920
they're going to want to break 
down Greek stuff and all this. 

539
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000
But then you see them in life. 
They can't handle their 

540
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,920
emotions. 
They can't handle conflict, they

541
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,280
can't handle stress. 
A situation comes and they freak

542
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,440
out. 
It takes them so much time to 

543
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:20,800
recover. 
Where's your knowledge of who 

544
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,920
God saved in the flood now? 
And how important is that belly 

545
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:31,360
button right now? 
How important is that 

546
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,360
Hallelujah? 
I said Hallelujah. 

547
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,840
We need to hunger for this 
spiritual appraisement. 

548
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,840
Proverbs 26 says this, for the 
Lord gives wisdom. 

549
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,200
From his mouth come knowledge 
and understanding. 

550
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,760
From his what? 
Where's that at? 

551
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,840
Because you're not looking at 
Jesus. 

552
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:02,360
So where's his mouth at today? 
It's the Word, and if you're not

553
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,760
in the word, he's not talking to
you. 

554
00:34:11,100 --> 00:34:14,219
Proverbs, 1514. 
The mind of the intelligence 

555
00:34:14,219 --> 00:34:17,199
seeks knowledge. 
Now again these verses, you 

556
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:19,920
know, I'm using them, you know, 
just portions of them because 

557
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,040
again, the mouth of the full 
feeds on on folly and man, 

558
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,239
there's plenty of people that 
again are feeding on folly 

559
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,880
because again, they don't care 
about any other thing about God 

560
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,159
and how to overcome in life. 
They just know I know where I'm 

561
00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:33,199
going to go when I die. 
And so they miss out on the 

562
00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:35,280
Kingdom God wants to gladly give
them. 

563
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,760
Now, God is not in a delayed 
program. 

564
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,639
There are things he's 
strategically doing because of 

565
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:46,360
humanity and there are 
dispensations that ultimately 

566
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,760
here's why all these 
dispensations change. 

567
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,080
They are progressive revelations
of God. 

568
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,480
In the very first one, which was
Adam and Eve in the garden, it 

569
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,800
was heaven and earth exactly 
alike, perfect. 

570
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,880
There's no change between the 
two. 

571
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,840
He, they could, they could, He 
could calm down, no issues, no 

572
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:09,120
conflict, no sin, everything. 
And he had knowledge like no 

573
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,160
one's no one on earth has ever 
had. 

574
00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:17,720
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
Which lets us know then because 

575
00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:21,640
he ate fruit in that 
environment. 

576
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:25,520
There is no I'll forgive you, 
son. 

577
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:32,040
You've never blown it moment in 
that environment. 

578
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,440
It was cut off. 
Love put Adam out the garden 

579
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:44,920
with his wife. 
No second chance in that moment.

580
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,680
Now, that doesn't mean Adam 
couldn't believe that God 

581
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,960
through his conversation. 
I'm going to send my seed, a 

582
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,880
messiah's coming. 
Someone's going to come and 

583
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,720
deliver me, and I'm going to be 
able to come. 

584
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:56,800
Because we know there were 
people in Abraham's bosom that 

585
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,400
Jesus delivered. 
And all those people were the 

586
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,280
righteous dead. 
They were believing for the 

587
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:01,800
Savior, they believing for the 
King. 

588
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,760
And they were in a place that 
was not the grave, not where 

589
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,600
torment was. 
They were in a different 

590
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:13,320
location awaiting the death, 
burial and then resurrection of 

591
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,560
Jesus. 
OK and by all rights Adam and 

592
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,560
Eve could could have been in 
there. 

593
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,840
Bible doesn't say it, but they 
could have been OK. 

594
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,360
The point is, is that sin 
entered the world. 

595
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:32,000
The whole system changed because
of one failure immediately. 

596
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,000
But then we get into other 
dispensations where God begins 

597
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,800
to reveal things in a different 
way. 

598
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:43,040
In essence, He's putting man in 
so many conditions how God's 

599
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,400
revealing himself, then he holds
them accountable to how He's 

600
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,880
revealed himself specifically. 
We are in a dispensation now 

601
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:58,000
that is that is more. 
How do I want to say it is at a 

602
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,240
higher level than the old 
covenant? 

603
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:07,040
It's not. 
It's not more tolerant. 

604
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,880
Can I say that it's not more 
tolerant, It's at a higher level

605
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:15,160
because in the old covenant, 
they weren't alive to the 

606
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,080
Spirit. 
They were dead, and there were 

607
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,640
only three types of individuals 
that had the Holy Ghost come 

608
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,880
upon them, and the sprinkling of
blood did a lot. 

609
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:32,120
It didn't save them, it didn't 
redeem them in its totality, but

610
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,280
it did keep a covenant around 
them. 

611
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:40,360
However, we are in a new 
covenant, a better covenant, and

612
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,560
if we're in a better covenant, 
then that means we have more 

613
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:47,600
responsibility in this covenant,
not less. 

614
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:52,040
And and the education principle 
of the Kingdom, The king in his 

615
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,680
writings to us through the 
apostle Paul mainly, but in 

616
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:01,200
others in Jude and John and in 
Paul and Peter, they all deal 

617
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:06,840
with these doctrines that try to
put you in a lower state instead

618
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,440
of the higher state to where you
think you can come in and live 

619
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,360
like you used to. 
And God tolerates it. 

620
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:19,440
He does not tolerate that. 
He expects you to live different

621
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,320
because what excuse do you have?
You're born of God and the Holy 

622
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,440
Ghost lives in you. 
He lives in you. 

623
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,720
So I don't understand why a 
believer would want to live such

624
00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:38,040
a sub level life. 
And the only reason they do is 

625
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:43,120
because they're still a babe. 
Because babes don't care about 

626
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:49,000
nobody but themselves when the 
baby comes out of the womb. 

627
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,560
Doesn't care about Mama. 
Although Mama loves a baby. 

628
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,840
Going crazy over the baby. 
But the baby's not saying mom 

629
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,480
now, before this thing. 
Starts. 

630
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,320
What would you? 
How would you like to sleep at 

631
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,360
night? 
What are your hours? 

632
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,080
Because I really want to make it
convenient. 

633
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,400
I I love you and I'm thinking 
about you. 

634
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:20,600
I sure don't want to make years 
and Dad's life a living hell for

635
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,120
the first six months because I 
don't get on the right schedule.

636
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,320
So just tell me what you need 
and listen, I'm not going to bug

637
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:33,160
you when I'm real hungry, OK? 
I'm just going to tap, OK? 

638
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,520
I'm going to be peaceful about 
it, you know? 

639
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,760
When I get a little hungry, I'm 
just going to tap on your 

640
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:38,360
shoulder. 
I'm. 

641
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,560
Going to say I think it's Tom, 
right? 

642
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,800
Is this how it rolls out? 
No, don't roll out now. 

643
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,320
I know some of your life man. 
My child was so great. 

644
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:56,280
Yeah, have another one. 
'Cause you know what, usually we

645
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,160
get a few to come out, you know,
pretty good. 

646
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,240
They tend to just for whatever 
reason, hit it right. 

647
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:07,280
They sleep all night. 
They very are are very rarely 

648
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,920
irritable and you know, don't 
really cry a whole lot, you 

649
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,920
know, in the whole grand scheme 
of things, but don't think 

650
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,200
something's not going to show up
right. 

651
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,240
But then you so excited about 
that. 

652
00:40:16,240 --> 00:40:17,680
Let's have another one. 
The next one comes out. 

653
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:25,440
It's like I'm not my sibling, 
right here we go And it's like, 

654
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,200
why is this one scream all the 
time? 

655
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:28,920
Apparently it's going to be a 
singer. 

656
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,200
I wish it would get some words 
right now, right. 

657
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,360
So again, why do they do this? 
Believers is because they whine,

658
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,280
cry. 
They're selfish. 

659
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,440
They need to be. 
Educated, trained. 

660
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,520
All right, so Proverbs, let me 
skip a few. 

661
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,560
I'm I'm going to skip a few. 
Let's go to Proverbs 1533 Be the

662
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,560
last proverb I go and we'll get 
into Galatians. 

663
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,640
The fear of the Lord is the 
instruction for. 

664
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,880
Wisdom Galatians four one 
through 2. 

665
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:02,240
The King James says this. 
Now I say that that the heir, as

666
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:06,680
long as he is a child, differeth
like I'm in the King James 

667
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,480
nothing from the servant, though
he be Lord of all. 

668
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:16,880
So the heir is Lord of all, but 
he looks no different than the 

669
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:23,000
servant but under tutors and 
governors until the time 

670
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,520
appointed of the father. 
So at the end of the day, here's

671
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:33,840
a child that ultimately at birth
has a right because of their 

672
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,360
birth. 
It is by birth. 

673
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:41,360
Everything because of birth is 
already sealed within them to be

674
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:46,800
able to have full authority and 
power of whatever it is that 

675
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,800
they are an heir to. 
However, the servant who was not

676
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,240
born in that position does not 
have that. 

677
00:41:53,320 --> 00:42:00,600
And they do not look different 
in the beginning because the one

678
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:06,080
that's the heir is being told 
what to do, being instructed how

679
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,920
to respond, being communicated 
to in this situation. 

680
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,320
This is how you handle yourself.
You're the heir now. 

681
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:18,680
The heir doesn't have like that,
The air doesn't walk like that, 

682
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,720
the air doesn't talk like that. 
So the air is being corrected 

683
00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:26,520
just as a servant would be 
corrected in the context. 

684
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,440
We don't put the table together 
that way or we don't do this, 

685
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,880
that and the other and then give
instruction to the servant. 

686
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,400
Now this is how you prepare this
and this how you prepare that, 

687
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,680
and this is how you do this 
particular position. 

688
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,840
They don't differ, but they are 
being, but those heirs are under

689
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,080
tutors and governors. 
Look what it says here in John 

690
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,280
chapter 14 verse 25 and 26. 
New Living translation says it 

691
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,040
this way. 
He said I'm telling you these 

692
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,160
things now while I'm still with 
you. 

693
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:55,000
But when the Father sends the 
advocate, one translation says 

694
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,400
counselor as my representative, 
that is the Holy Spirit. 

695
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,200
He will teach you everything and
will remind you of everything 

696
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,920
I've told you. 
So the reason, number one reason

697
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:09,200
why the Lord or a reason why I'm
not going to say #1 it's, it's, 

698
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:16,000
but it's just as impactful, OK. 
And that is the reason why the 

699
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:20,120
the Lord places the Holy Spirit 
in you is not just to bear 

700
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,360
witness with your spirit. 
You are a child of God. 

701
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,440
Now, why is that necessary 
though? 

702
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,960
Because the Holy Spirit has an 
assignment to say to you, 

703
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:34,920
listen, you're a child of God. 
Because up to this point you 

704
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,320
have fallen short, you're flat, 
you have you have guilt, shame, 

705
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:39,680
you don't think you're worthy to
be. 

706
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,360
And he has to say, now listen, 
we going to go to work because 

707
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,560
listen, you're a child of God. 
You are a child of God. 

708
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,440
You are the son and daughter of 
the King. 

709
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,040
So that's why he bears witness 
with your spirit. 

710
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:59,120
You are of God, you're of God. 
And what's he saying now? 

711
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,440
Listen, you're of God. 
God's never been defeated by 

712
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:07,160
evil, never been overcome by, 
never been put down by it, never

713
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:11,280
been destroyed by it, never 
yielded to at one time it he, 

714
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,600
that spirit always conquered and
it's in you. 

715
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,880
You are child of God. 
That's why he's bearing because 

716
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,680
he's giving you your identity as
an heir. 

717
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,640
You are joint heirs with Christ.
But now that you're an heir, 

718
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,880
it's time to go to work. 
I said it's time to go to work, 

719
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,880
it's time to be trained through 
the Kingdom education principle.

720
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,600
We call it the renewing of the 
mind. 

721
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,040
But again, so many people 
abandoned this process. 

722
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,960
And when you abandon this 
process, you are not going to 

723
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:46,400
pull the Kingdom into this 
natural life while you're in the

724
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:51,120
life and live it to its 
fullness, because your lack of 

725
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:55,400
knowledge of His Kingdom and how
it functions and operates will 

726
00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:01,160
hinder you from having what God 
has with great joy to give you. 

727
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:07,080
God is not withholding the 
Kingdom from you, You withhold 

728
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:12,640
it from yourself through a lack 
of being a scholar and staying 

729
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:13,720
in. 
Repetition. 

730
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:23,360
Are you hearing me? 
He goes on to say John 1415 to 

731
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,480
17 again, the New Living 
Translation. 

732
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,560
I really think these 
translation, they have it, 

733
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,440
they're they probably didn't 
have it, so they had a different

734
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:30,720
one. 
But it says, if you love me, 

735
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,200
here we go, right? 
If you love me, what are you 

736
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:35,800
going to do? 
You're going to obey my 

737
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,480
commandments. 
Why is that? 

738
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,680
Because you're the child of a 
king. 

739
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:44,200
Because Jesus himself says I 
only do what Dad says, he said I

740
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,480
love Dad. 
How does Dad know? 

741
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:50,600
Because I obey. 
Again, we've already said this 

742
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,680
and I'm going to say it again 
for repetition. 

743
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,000
Surely Jesus would love the 
Lord. 

744
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,600
He's of his nature, He's God. 
He's the second person of God. 

745
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,160
Yet that alone doesn't say I 
love you, Father. 

746
00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:08,520
The same thing with the first 
Adam, because Jesus is 

747
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,200
considered the last Adam out of 
God's nature. 

748
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:15,400
He breathes into this skin suit,
or this man made out of the 

749
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,080
dust. 
He forms him out of the dust of 

750
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,480
the earth, breathes into his 
nostrils the breath of life. 

751
00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:22,000
Then he wants to know, do you 
love me? 

752
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,720
It's of His nature. 
How would Adam not be of the 

753
00:46:25,720 --> 00:46:30,640
nature of love? 
Because love is only manifested 

754
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:36,360
in obedience to His Word. 
Love is not a feeling. 

755
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,320
So he says, Adam, you can eat 
from any tree of the garden, but

756
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,360
of the tree of the knowledge of 
good, evil, you shall not eat 

757
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,640
for the day you eat you will. 
Surely This is why Jesus says, 

758
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,320
now listen, if you love me man, 
you're going to keep my word 

759
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,400
because I've only kept the 
Father's word. 

760
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,560
I've only done that. 
This is why the Father loves me 

761
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,880
because I prove it all the time.
Now again, I know what your mom 

762
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:05,560
wants to. 
Do. 

763
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,640
You want to kick back on those 
statements and say, don't tell 

764
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,440
me I don't love God when I did 
wrong. 

765
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:17,720
That is an act of rebellion. 
And in order to stay in right 

766
00:47:17,720 --> 00:47:21,280
standing, you repent from that 
and get back into doing what He 

767
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,560
told you to do. 
That's an act of love. 

768
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,160
And the Bible's very clear about
this. 

769
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,120
It doesn't mince words with 
this. 

770
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,240
We we want it to be the other 
way because we want to still do 

771
00:47:35,240 --> 00:47:39,400
our way. 
We want to know all that we can 

772
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:44,400
do and he still accept us. 
Well, God's never accepted you. 

773
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:52,400
He accepted Jesus. 
We were not acceptable. 

774
00:47:53,960 --> 00:48:02,600
We were damnable, rightly so, 
but God through Christ said, 

775
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,880
I'll accept you in Christ, make 
him Lord. 

776
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,200
Well, what's it mean? 
Make him Lord. 

777
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,440
I'm going to obey you because I 
love you. 

778
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,040
I mean, my gosh, you died for 
me. 

779
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,280
You took all my treason, my 
rebellion, my wrongdoing, my 

780
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,560
disobedience. 
In fact, God in his new covenant

781
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,000
within the Gospels, I think it's
Galatians that he's storing up 

782
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:26,000
wrath for the sons of 
disobedience and that's for 

783
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,280
dispensation that we've not even
hit yet. 

784
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,560
But this is easy for the new 
believer because my nature is to

785
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,560
love God. 
He has the Holy Spirit in me. 

786
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,160
He's telling me I'm a child of 
God and he has empowered me with

787
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,240
the same spirit because of the 
same spirit of the race crash on

788
00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:47,880
the dead lives in me and my 
spirit is in Christ. 

789
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:53,840
Then how I'm incapable in the 
spirit realm to not do his word.

790
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,840
So all I got to do is say, mind 
you going to get it together. 

791
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,200
We going to learn this 
principle. 

792
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,640
We are going to quit wine 
bagging and complaining like the

793
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,600
old man. 
We're done with that. 

794
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,040
I'm a higher species of being 
now. 

795
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,640
So what do you say, Dad? 
And we're like, wow, that hurts,

796
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:18,080
but that's OK. 
I'll crucify that deal and do 

797
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,840
the word anyway because your 
word's life. 

798
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,240
So if you love me, you'll obey 
my commandments. 

799
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,360
I'll ask the Father, and he will
give you another counselor who 

800
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:30,760
will not never leave you. 
He is the Holy Spirit who leads 

801
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:36,360
into all truth. 
So Hebrews 513 and 14. 

802
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,880
Then we'll jump over into the 
first verse of chapter 6. 

803
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:44,600
It says for everyone who 
partakes only say only say only 

804
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,280
only of milk is not accustomed 
to the word of righteousness, 

805
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:53,560
for He is an infant. 
OK, but solid food, say solid 

806
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,880
food. 
Now here's the thing about solid

807
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,880
food, though. 
If you're if you can only drink 

808
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:08,080
milk, you can't eat solid food. 
OK so at the end of the day it's

809
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:14,080
amazing how many infants in 
Christ try to go to places where

810
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,560
there's solid food. 
You take a baby to an all you 

811
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:23,720
can eat BBQ buffet. 
I don't care how much that child

812
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:30,480
is drooling for a brisket for a 
a a BBQ rib from Captain's BBQ 

813
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,240
down off of A1A. 
Right. 

814
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,760
I don't care how much they have 
no teeth, no ability to handle 

815
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,640
the solid food. 
Unless you're throwing it in a 

816
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:47,040
blender and turn it in liquid 
form, it's not happening. 

817
00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:54,240
And I agree that would be nasty.
However, when they threw milk, 

818
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:58,160
grow and develop the ability to 
start handling. 

819
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,160
And how can you handle solid 
food? 

820
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,080
You are doing the milk of the 
word. 

821
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,080
If you're not doing the milk of 
the word, then you can't eat 

822
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,360
solid. 
Now that doesn't mean you can't 

823
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:13,760
hear solid. 
Be around solid, smell solid, 

824
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:18,360
put solid in your mouth and gum 
it to death. 

825
00:51:19,720 --> 00:51:22,320
But when you try to swallow, 
what will happen? 

826
00:51:22,720 --> 00:51:27,640
You're going to choke and die on
something that you cannot 

827
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,720
assimilate because you're not a 
doer of milk. 

828
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:35,880
See if a solid food is for the 
mature. 

829
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,880
So again, infants don't get do 
not get solid food. 

830
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:54,000
Infants do not get solid food. 
You have to move to maturity. 

831
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,320
You said, well, how long does it
take to become mature? 

832
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:06,920
As fast as you are always a doer
of what you've heard and in 

833
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:11,440
repetition continue in it. 
You're practicing it. 

834
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,360
You're practicing it so. 
But solid food is for the 

835
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,760
mature. 
Who, because of what practice, 

836
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,280
have their senses trained to 
discern good and evil? 

837
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,680
And I don't have time to dissect
this, but you already know that 

838
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:35,240
most believers that are infants 
or babes cannot discern good or 

839
00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:37,800
evil, although they think they 
can. 

840
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,440
The Scripture declares they 
cannot. 

841
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,240
And This is why our nation's 
like, it is because we've turned

842
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:54,160
out converts at the turn of the 
century after the World War Two 

843
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,840
that some people came together 
and said, how can we make the 

844
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,600
gospel its simplest form, what 
we preach on? 

845
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:02,680
Where are you going to go when 
you die? 

846
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:08,080
It was not the prevailing 
conversation over 100 years ago.

847
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,640
This is recent within our own 
nation, but man, we have taken 

848
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,360
it hook, line and sinker because
again, we don't want 

849
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,760
responsibility of discipleship, 
or at least churches do. 

850
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:23,160
Not now that's not us. 
Because we have a plethora of 

851
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:24,880
opportunities for you to be 
discipled. 

852
00:53:25,240 --> 00:53:27,360
You come to church on why do we 
do midweek? 

853
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:31,400
You know how many churches don't
even do midweek, Don't even do 

854
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:35,760
midweek, and then this Sunday 
they're only teaching for 25 

855
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:45,000
minutes and you're supposed to 
mature with 25 minutes of 168 

856
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:49,040
hours in a week That the enemy 
is bombarding you with other 

857
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:53,480
conversations. 
That is called insanity. 

858
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:59,920
That pastors believe that their 
congregations are maturing 

859
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:04,440
because, and here's the thing, 
every pastor knows the people 

860
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:10,880
don't come every service. 
I mean, it's like a pastor's 

861
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:16,920
biggest dream is that everyone 
who said they went to their 

862
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:22,720
church showed up at one time. 
I think people are going to be 

863
00:54:22,720 --> 00:54:24,800
surprised when they're catching 
away because they're going to be

864
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,360
like, we're all going. 
Some of you might not. 

865
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:35,560
I'm not going to get into that 
one anyway, but we just like, 

866
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,680
come on. 
So again, if it's 25 minutes and

867
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:46,600
we, we think regular attendance 
is one or two, two services is 

868
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:53,440
50 minutes of training. 
Because here's the thing, you 

869
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:58,360
know as well as I do, it is a 
challenge sometimes to learn on 

870
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:04,760
your own. 
Now I've, I would much rather, I

871
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,000
thank God for you too, but I'd 
love to be able to see where's 

872
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,920
that go, right, 'cause how many 
guys, we get some project from 

873
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,120
IT or something. 
And what do we do? 

874
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:18,400
We start laying it all out and 
you already start to see how 

875
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:22,200
this thing through common sense 
is going and you start to 

876
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,040
process. 
Yet there's an instruction 

877
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:29,200
manual. 
We don't look at that and you 

878
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,440
understand the structure. 
Manners have gotten so dumbed 

879
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:32,960
down. 
They don't have words anymore. 

880
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:36,720
It's just pictures. 
Do you understand how how we 

881
00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:38,480
are? 
We're being treated like 

882
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:42,320
preschoolers. 
It is a coloring book that they 

883
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,960
have given us to put whole 
pieces of furniture together. 

884
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:51,080
Sometimes I'm looking, I'm like,
what's the length on this there?

885
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,360
I have two ones longer than the 
other. 

886
00:55:53,360 --> 00:56:01,040
And you're not really, I mean my
shapes, but again, you start 

887
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,040
getting documents to learn in 
words. 

888
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:06,280
Well then you got to be to 
understand the context and you 

889
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,120
understand God did not give you 
a picture. 

890
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,520
Book I don't want to hear this 
it. 

891
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,720
Didn't give you a picture book 
because again, you know, if we 

892
00:56:13,720 --> 00:56:19,040
got a IKEA setting that says 
insert and you're reading you're

893
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,960
like, I don't even know what 
they're talking about right now.

894
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,320
What are they saying? 
It's this and they're have you 

895
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:30,560
ever read a property? 
If they appraisers paragraph of 

896
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:35,360
your property, It isn't 2121 US 
One South. 

897
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,440
That's not how that goes. 
I mean, it's like this whole 

898
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,720
massive description of all these
points and everything you're 

899
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:47,360
like, what the that's my 
property. 

900
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:51,840
I mean, if if someone handed me 
your property appraiser 

901
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:57,800
paragraph and says here's 
directions to my house, I feel 

902
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:04,640
like I ain't coming, right? 
I mean, again, that literally 

903
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:10,520
says anywhere on the globe where
you are, but none of us can 

904
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,720
decipher that. 
Now someone could train us. 

905
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,240
That then you'd be like, oh, I 
know where you live. 

906
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,240
But you got to know where the 
longitude and latitude and all 

907
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:30,080
that kind of stuff's hitting. 
Anyway, all right, so Ephesians 

908
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:34,360
4, we know that they gave us 
pastors and the fivefold 

909
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,880
ministry to equip the Saints. 
Again, we are here to train. 

910
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,560
I'm closing down now. 
We're here to train so that we 

911
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:46,560
can all grow up to become a 
mature body, right? 

912
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,840
Verse 16 From whom? 
The whole body being fitted and 

913
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,120
held together by what every 
joint supplies according to the 

914
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,920
proper working of each 
individual part, causes the body

915
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,840
to for the building up of itself
in love. 

916
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:03,280
It also says in verse 13, until 
we attain, till we all attain to

917
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,760
the unity of the faith and of 
the knowledge of the Son of God 

918
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,800
to a mature man, to the measure 
of the statute which belongs to 

919
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,000
the fullness of Christ. 
And again, God doesn't want to 

920
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,760
leave anyone behind, so we all 
have to mature. 

921
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,760
It is the requirement of God for
his church. 

922
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:26,640
He doesn't want preschoolers. 
He wants people to move to 

923
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,720
maturity. 
And I do believe the day's 

924
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,080
coming where this can be at a 
greater level. 

925
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,080
You know, could it be that right
before he returns and catches us

926
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,800
away that the ones that come in 
are technically geniuses? 

927
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,360
Because, you know, there have 
been people that are 

928
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,920
academically really intelligent 
and they're 12/13/14, they're 

929
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,920
graduating, going to college. 
I mean, they just have the mind 

930
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,960
to do it. 
And can God do things in the 

931
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:52,320
spirit with you once you're born
again and grow you up and you 

932
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,720
take control of that soul realm?
You allow the education 

933
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,960
principle of the Kingdom to 
function in your life so that 

934
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:02,960
you start immediately showing 
the values, the morals, and the 

935
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,920
lifestyle of a citizen of the 
Kingdom of God so that it 

936
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,880
reflects the king himself. 
I believe that's highly 

937
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:13,680
plausible. 
Highly plausible, most likely, 

938
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,000
actually. 
OK. 

939
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,040
But again, it's still because 
you're going to submit to a 

940
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:22,040
training for, you know, it just 
comes natural that I can just do

941
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:23,280
the things of God. 
Well, you know what comes 

942
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,840
natural to you too, because 
you're a supernatural being. 

943
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:31,080
When I say comes natural, it's 
within you to be able to take 

944
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:35,440
control of your thoughts, your 
mind and, and and yield it to 

945
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:39,040
the word of God. 
First Corinthians 1420 says 

946
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:45,320
this, brethren, do not be 
children in your thinking yet in

947
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:48,440
evil be infant. 
So what's he saying in the 

948
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:57,080
subject of being evil, diabolic,
fleshly, like your old life, be 

949
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,520
an infant, know nothing about 
it. 

950
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:05,680
Quit act like you're an expert 
in slander, gossip, malicious 

951
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:10,720
fornication, sexual sins. 
I mean you left that life all of

952
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:14,680
a sudden become infant to it at 
like I don't even know how to do

953
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,680
that now. 
You're old way. 

954
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:23,080
You used to be professional and 
expert, but in this new life I 

955
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:28,680
don't even know how to do that. 
That is a foreign concept to me.

956
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,560
So Paul is saying in your 
thinking, don't be children, 

957
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,600
quit being a child. 
Look at your neighbor and say 

958
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:41,080
quit being a. 
Child, my wife and I real quick,

959
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:44,680
you know, went to breakfast this
morning and Mandy's people have 

960
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:48,120
their kids there because of 
vacation and this kid just 

961
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,040
started blowing his nose with 
nothing snotting. 

962
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:56,040
And they're like, don't do that.
He did it again. 

963
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:01,280
Then that grandparent put, you 
know, a rag, you know, on him. 

964
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,440
And he then when he pulled it 
off, he did it again. 

965
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:08,320
Just defiance. 
Then then the threats came. 

966
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,040
You understand? 
I'm going to call you dad. 

967
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,480
Then they started calling their 
name call and then they don't be

968
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:21,520
and they're talking, but no 
action, no action, no action. 

969
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,480
And they just kept their deal. 
And then one of the little ones 

970
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,680
went and grabbed a little 
coaster, went over because we're

971
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:32,520
on a, you know, upper floor. 
We were outside eating and threw

972
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:35,720
it, don't do that. 
And said their name like, well, 

973
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:37,520
if you'd have been paying 
attention, they wouldn't have 

974
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:41,640
got so close with it anyway. 
Don't. 

975
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,680
But you know how many believers 
act childish like this? 

976
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:52,480
Now let me just say this as your
pastor, I'm not going to be one 

977
01:01:52,480 --> 01:02:01,400
of those parents. 
So if you come to this church 

978
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:06,080
and you want to keep acting 
rebellious, well, you can find 

979
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:11,680
another one. 
Come on, you can find another 

980
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,280
one. 
I mean if you willfully want to 

981
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:15,480
be. 
Rebellious. 

982
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,640
Then you go somewhere else. 
And we'll help you get there. 

983
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:28,600
We're going to hold you 
accountable to maturity because 

984
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,200
I'm not here just to be excited 
that you're going to heaven when

985
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:37,720
you die. 
I'm here to mature the body. 

986
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:43,920
And we're not going to have a 
spoiled rotten spiritual child 

987
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,440
acting out. 
They will be corrected. 

988
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:54,480
All right, OK, let's leave on a 
smiling note. 

989
01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:00,000
Do not be children in your 
thinking yet. 

990
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,120
And evil be infants, but in your
thinking be mature. 

991
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,800
Do you understand? 
Right now I have given you 3. 

992
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,720
Sundays at another church 
tonight. 

993
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,320
But in your thinking, mature. 
Mature. 

994
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:15,360
The word mature here means this 
literally. 

995
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,880
In the Greek it means pertaining
to being mature in one's 

996
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:22,920
behavior. 
Mature Grown up to be a mature. 

997
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:27,600
Person it means in context to 
the measure of the stature of 

998
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,520
the fullness of Christ. 
God wants us. 

999
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:35,160
It means maturity of behavior. 
You are the mature in your 

1000
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:39,000
behavior. 
You shouldn't be easily 

1001
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,040
offended, right? 
Right. 

1002
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:45,640
You should be quick to forgive. 
You should be quick to 

1003
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:49,520
righteousness and run from evil.
You should flee the appearance. 

1004
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:55,720
You should be constantly 
thinking about somebody else 

1005
01:03:55,720 --> 01:04:01,520
other than yourself. 
No slander, no gossip, no 

1006
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,960
division among the brethren. 
None of this stuff happens to 

1007
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:10,160
the with the mature. 
Are you hearing me? 

1008
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:16,120
It means not lacking any moral 
quality. 

1009
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:21,040
In fact, it includes the word 
perfect, and the reason it uses 

1010
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:26,080
that is because God himself is 
perfect, or that word is. 

1011
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:30,880
Complete God never intended for 
Jesus to come. 

1012
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:34,680
To have you. 
Incomplete in the three areas of

1013
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:36,720
your being. 
You'd be beat. 

1014
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:40,800
Down, broke down physically in 
sickness, disease, just barely 

1015
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:42,520
holding on. 
And man, you know it's going to 

1016
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:43,880
let go of your spirit man 
anyway. 

1017
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,800
Your mind, your emotions are 
going to be broke, beat down, 

1018
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:51,320
destroyed, crushed because of 
how much oppression issues 

1019
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:55,640
people have come against you. 
All the abuse that's happened to

1020
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,680
you verbally, mentally, 
emotionally, you know, both 

1021
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,240
physically, whatever the case 
may be, but you know what? 

1022
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:02,960
At least you're going to go to 
heaven when you die. 

1023
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:04,760
That was never the gospel he 
preached. 

1024
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,280
He allowed you to become 
complete in every three area 

1025
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,280
that you don't even recognize 
that other person and people 

1026
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:14,280
like I don't even recognize that
other person in you. 

1027
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,280
So we close with Romans chapter 
12, verse 2. 

1028
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,200
The new American standard says 
do not be conformed to this 

1029
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:25,960
world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind so that 

1030
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:30,280
you may prove what the will of 
God is, that which is good and 

1031
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:31,720
acceptable and perfect. 
Guess what? 

1032
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:33,920
You're not going to prove the 
will of God just because you're 

1033
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:37,800
born again. 
In fact, you're incapable of 

1034
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:39,920
proving the will of God just 
because you're born again. 

1035
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:44,400
You're only given access to the 
Kingdom that now you can gain. 

1036
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:52,440
You can receive knowledge on how
to begin to function effectively

1037
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:58,680
in His Kingdom by birthright 
because there are many that are 

1038
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:06,800
not exercising the will of God 
based upon immaturity and as 

1039
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:10,080
long as you want self, you'll 
stay a baby. 

1040
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:15,960
The Passion says it this way. 
Stop imitating the ideals and 

1041
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:26,330
opinions of the culture around 
you, but be inwardly transformed

1042
01:06:26,330 --> 01:06:29,650
by the Holy Spirit through a 
total reformation of how you 

1043
01:06:29,970 --> 01:06:34,330
think of how you think of how 
you think. 

1044
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:36,760
You understand. 
I can't control your thoughts. 

1045
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,840
You can't control my thoughts, 
but I can do by the Spirit. 

1046
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:44,000
If you and I have got, we have 
something that we're dealing 

1047
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:48,200
with. 
The scripture says this, and if 

1048
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,840
you have not come to the 
conclusion you're going to do 

1049
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,000
it, I have come to the 
collusion. 

1050
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,360
I am going to do it. 
Then I also can exercise 

1051
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,600
patience until you get to that 
place. 

1052
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:06,200
I don't have to rant and rave 
just because you haven't come to

1053
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:11,480
where this is the best place to 
be because I can trust God. 

1054
01:07:16,900 --> 01:07:20,140
So even though a person may not 
be totally functioning in the 

1055
01:07:20,140 --> 01:07:23,540
light of what they could know in
the word, it doesn't mean that 

1056
01:07:23,540 --> 01:07:25,540
I'm coming against them, a heart
against them or whatever the 

1057
01:07:25,540 --> 01:07:28,500
case, me and pay I can say well.
Lord, you can deal with that. 

1058
01:07:28,820 --> 01:07:30,060
You can go on and deal with 
that. 

1059
01:07:30,060 --> 01:07:34,500
I'm going to be at peace anyway 
because I've matured. 

1060
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,840
So this will empower you to 
discern God's will as you live a

1061
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:45,000
beautiful life, satisfying and 
perfect in his eyes. 

1062
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:47,720
Amen. 
So Jesus never intended for you 

1063
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:53,040
to be converted and then just 
figure what you can out, why you

1064
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:54,440
can. 
No, he said, I have a very 

1065
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:58,440
strategic system. 
I'm offering them a Kingdom. 

1066
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:01,960
I'm giving them the dominion 
back that Adam lost. 

1067
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:03,680
This was never about them coming
to heaven. 

1068
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,080
It was about them having 
dominion and becoming a child of

1069
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:07,920
God. 
It was about their destiny, not 

1070
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:11,240
a destination. 
And so as a result of that, if 

1071
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,680
they're coming into our Kingdom,
they sure are not going to 

1072
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:15,520
function well with their 
thinking. 

1073
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:17,800
I'm not here to change their 
soul. 

1074
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,600
I'm here to give them a new 
spirit and then give them a 

1075
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:30,160
teacher in them who will educate
them from my realm on how they 

1076
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:34,880
as an heir are is they are 
supposed to respond and act. 

1077
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,960
And as they yield to that 
spirit, they can wash their mind

1078
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:43,960
with my word, change their 
thinking and begin to live on a 

1079
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,680
whole nother level. 
A level they were always 

1080
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:49,600
destined to live 'cause they 
were never supposed to live. 

1081
01:08:50,319 --> 01:08:55,359
In the aspect of sin, 
disobedience, where death 

1082
01:08:55,439 --> 01:09:02,120
reigns, I'll give them the 
ability to reign in life.
