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

2
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:06,920
from St. 
Augustine, FL. 

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:15,640
Now enjoy this message. 
Amen. 

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,920
Well, I'm really excited about 
today and where we're going to 

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,000
go for the next three Sundays 
starting today. 

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,680
And so I really want to 
encourage you to make sure you 

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,760
hear you're in attendance of 
what God wants to say and do in 

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,360
our lives. 
You understand we started out 

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,400
our this year calling it talking
about the reigning spirit. 

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,880
We have the reigning spirit. 
You know it's really kind of 

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,840
it's truth but unfortunately in 
a lot of believers mouths it's 

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,400
more cliche than it is reality 
and that is greater is he that's

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,800
in me than he that's in the 
world. 

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,240
That's easy to say. 
It's another thing to yield, I 

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,360
said. 
It's another thing to yield to 

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,040
that because the Holy Spirit is 
greater. 

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,800
And when the Holy Spirit's 
working on behalf of the king, 

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,080
he's going to tell you what the 
king is saying and how you're 

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,200
supposed to respond. 
But you've got to do something. 

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,400
Amen. 
And if you do something, then 

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,840
it'll come to pass. 
But if you don't, I said, if you

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,480
don't, he's not going to make it
happen. 

23
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:18,600
I said it's just not going to 
happen. 

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,400
Amen. 
And so we need to learn these 

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,760
things because in the last of 
the last days, we know there's 

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,920
some trials and tribulations, 
some troubles are going to come 

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,320
on an accelerated and more 
powerful level. 

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,600
But we will be ready for it. 
Amen. 

29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,600
And we will be equipped to 
overcome. 

30
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,680
Come on, say Amen. 
So let's receive the engrafted 

31
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,480
word of God, which is able to 
save our soul. 

32
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,280
Amen. 
You know, as it says in Matthew 

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,720
15. 
Three, he says, Why do you 

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,240
transgress the commandments of 
God? 

35
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,360
For the sake of your traditions?
And maybe I'll come back and 

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,320
touch on that a little bit more.
But again, we want to know what 

37
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,960
God's saying, not what we're 
thinking. 

38
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,280
Because when we do that, things 
that change. 

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,640
So if you have your Bibles turn 
to Genesis chapter one, verse 

40
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,160
one, we're going to start 
reading here and we'll go 

41
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,160
through the whole Bible today. 
No, I'm just kidding. 

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,360
Amen. 
This is a. 

43
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,240
Theater. 
We used to watch 2 1/2 three 

44
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,920
hour movies here, so just buckle
up. 

45
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,920
In Genesis chapter one, verse 
one, it says this In the 

46
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:26,640
beginning. 
God created the heavens and the 

47
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:29,840
earth. 
In the beginning, so before the 

48
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,880
heavens and the earth, God was. 
Now, obviously this document we 

49
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,800
call the Holy Bible is a 
reference to our beginning, But 

50
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,760
that doesn't mean there wasn't 
something before our beginning. 

51
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,120
All right. 
But we could say there's God in 

52
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,240
the beginning. 
So in the beginning, before the 

53
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,800
beginning, God was He creates 
the heavens and the earth. 

54
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,520
And we understand heavens is 
plural. 

55
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,480
It's not just one. 
So we're not just talking about 

56
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,040
where He lives and resides. 
There are more than one heaven. 

57
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,600
In fact, Paul said this. 
I knew a man in body or out of 

58
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,720
body. 
I do not know. 

59
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,080
Caught up to the what? 
3rd heaven. 

60
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:11,000
Which if it's their 3rd heaven, 
then there must be a first and 

61
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,240
2nd. 
And God created all three, 

62
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,120
right? 
But then he also created this 

63
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,160
planet. 
I said he created this planet. 

64
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,920
Amen. 
How did this come to pass? 

65
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:27,000
Well, Hebrews elevens threes 
gives us some insight of how 

66
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,120
this happens, and it says it 
this way By faith. 

67
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,520
Say by faith, come on, say by 
faith. 

68
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:38,200
By faith we understand that the 
world's were prepared by the 

69
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,200
word of God so that what is seen
was not made out of things which

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:48,000
are visible. 
Now I'm using this scripture in 

71
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,320
a context that's not 
contextually in this particular 

72
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,040
passage. 
All right. 

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,480
In this particular passage, this
word world is not earth, nor is 

74
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,480
it planet systems. 
It is how our environment is 

75
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,640
shaped around us is based upon 
faith. 

76
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,480
So he said, by faith we 
understand that the world's were

77
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,839
prepared by the word of God. 
So the Word of God is 

78
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:22,920
interjected inside in society 
and people's worlds, how they 

79
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:29,240
live are functioned by that 
word, which means they have the 

80
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,320
capacity to call those things 
that be not as though they were.

81
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,960
We're not limited to what we see
now. 

82
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,560
If we go back to the Book of 
Beginnings though in Genesis 11,

83
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,000
then we have to understand in 
the beginning God created the 

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,360
heavens and the earth. 
Verse two says then God said so 

85
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,000
God speaks according to his 
word. 

86
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,480
Now let's go over to Romans 
chapter 10 verse 17. 

87
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,960
So we can kind of tie this 
together. 

88
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,800
So faith comes by hearing and 
hearing by the word of Christ. 

89
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,160
So we've established this is 
that faith comes by hearing 

90
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:05,720
really period not so much comma 
but period. 

91
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,280
Everybody, even the lost, the 
people cut off from God, have 

92
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:13,320
faith. 
It's just that their faith is 

93
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,360
based upon what they're hearing,
what they're hearing. 

94
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:26,200
And, you know, a lot of times we
hear by our eyes, we hear by our

95
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,600
eyes. 
You know, somebody come by and 

96
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,840
they, you know, throw their nose
up or they look at you a certain

97
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:35,400
way and all of a sudden you hear
that they're miffed at you, 

98
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,960
aggravated with you, you know, 
not well with you. 

99
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,160
And you begin to talk to 
yourself about them. 

100
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,040
And they haven't even said 
anything to you. 

101
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,000
In fact, most of the time they 
didn't even know you were even 

102
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,120
on in the hallway. 
But we done picked up an offense

103
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,760
by our eyes because our eyes 
heard something, right? 

104
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:01,440
So if faith in comes by hearing,
he's establishing our hearing. 

105
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,280
Our hearing should be connected 
to the word of Christ or the 

106
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:07,720
word of the King or the Word of 
God. 

107
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,800
That's where we should build our
faith from. 

108
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:17,320
Our faith could come from God 
because God's word spoken comes 

109
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,960
to pass. 
So in the beginning God created 

110
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,480
the heavens and the air. 
So out of nothing God spoke and 

111
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,200
creation was made. 
Hebrews again 11/3 gives us the 

112
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,760
insight that because we were 
creating the image of God, we 

113
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,600
were to speak ours into 
existence as well. 

114
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,400
How we live, how we function, we
can actually have God's realm, 

115
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,760
this unspeak. 
If we could pull back the veil 

116
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,560
into the Spirit, we can pull 
heaven over into earth because 

117
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,480
we can create things with our 
words. 

118
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,280
God creates with words. 
And I know I'm not saying 

119
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:56,600
anything new unless, you know, 
you haven't been here very long.

120
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,760
But we're going to see some 
things because I'm going to talk

121
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,680
to you about the most powerful 
thing, period. 

122
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,880
The most powerful thing, period.
Now look at what it says in 

123
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,480
Jeremiah 112. 
Jeremiah 112 says. 

124
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,440
If then the Lord said to me, you
have seen well, for I am what? 

125
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:23,720
Watching over my, over my what? 
Over my what word to perform it.

126
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,080
So what's the Lord doing? 
He's watching over his word. 

127
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,720
What's he watching over? 
What's he watching over his 

128
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:41,640
children, his church, the lost. 
He's watching over his word to 

129
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,160
perform it. 
Look over Isaiah 5511, Isaiah 

130
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,920
5511, he says. 
So will my word be, which goes 

131
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,040
forth from my mouth. 
It will not. 

132
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,440
Say, will not. 
Come on, say, will not. 

133
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:01,360
It will not return to me empty, 
without accomplishing what I 

134
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:07,480
desire and without succeeding in
the matter for which I sent it. 

135
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:13,080
Why, 'cause He's watching over 
His word to perform it. 

136
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,000
Why? 
Because in the beginning God 

137
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,400
created the heavens and the 
earth with a word. 

138
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,920
Let there be and there was. 
And then God said, let there be,

139
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,200
and there was. 
And then God said, let there be,

140
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,240
and there was. 
And then God said, let there be.

141
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,280
So in the thought and 
imagination of God, He spoke and

142
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,600
it came to be and He watched 
over it to perform it, which 

143
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,240
means when He spoke, those 
things happened. 

144
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,440
That's pretty powerful. 
Then we go over to John chapter 

145
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,360
8, starting at verse 31. 
He says, So Jesus was saying to 

146
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:53,680
those Jews who had believed him.
If say, if if you continue in my

147
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:59,520
word, then you are truly 
disciples of mine and you will 

148
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,160
what? 
Know the truth, and the truth 

149
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,600
will make you free. 
I said the truth will make you 

150
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,840
free. 
That's if you know it. 

151
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,760
I said that's if you know it. 
So he says if that's a 

152
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,600
conditional statement. 
If you continue in my word. 

153
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,080
Now what does God do with His 
word? 

154
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,920
He watches over it to perform 
it. 

155
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,120
When He speaks it, it won't 
return unto him, boy, but it 

156
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,760
shall accomplish that which it 
was set to do, right. 

157
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,120
So His word is a very powerful 
thing. 

158
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,000
In fact, we could almost call it
the most powerful thing, 

159
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,120
couldn't we? 
We could almost say it's the 

160
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,880
most powerful thing. 
But I want you to understand 

161
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:47,000
there's something connected to 
his word and we need to discuss 

162
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,520
this today. 
In fact, he goes on. 

163
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,600
If you drop down to the 51st 
verse, it says this truly, 

164
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,960
truly, I say to you if say if, 
if anyone keeps. 

165
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,240
My word. 
He. 

166
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,920
Will what? 
He'll never see death. 

167
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,520
Wow. 
What a statement that God is 

168
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,400
watching over to what to 
perform. 

169
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:16,200
But notice in the 31st verse and
the 51st verse there's this two 

170
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:23,280
letter word called if and if is 
what's considered a conditional 

171
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:32,040
statement, which means if you 
don't meet the condition, then 

172
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,360
you don't get what the condition
creates. 

173
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:41,600
So if if you are my disciple, 
you'll continue in my word. 

174
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,320
If you continue my word, then 
you are a truly a disciple of 

175
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,560
mine. 
So if you're not continuing in 

176
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:53,360
the Word, you may call yourself 
a disciple, but God would not. 

177
00:10:53,360 --> 00:11:05,320
Call you one. 
Now we know this. 

178
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,280
Matthew chapter 6 Again Jesus. 
Now when you pray, pray this 

179
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,720
way. 
Our Father who art in heaven, 

180
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,200
hallowed be your name, your 
Kingdom. 

181
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:19,760
Your. 
What your what your what now? 

182
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:31,720
What is always done, His word. 
So his word is His is his will. 

183
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,440
It's his will. 
I said it's his will. 

184
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,040
And God himself doesn't go 
against his will. 

185
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,560
That's why he exalts his word 
even above all of his name. 

186
00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:01,160
Oh my goodness. 
But so, with this being said, 

187
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,800
we're going to have to have a 
conversation about a doctrine of

188
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:11,800
demons. 
And here it is. 

189
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:24,440
God is in. 
Now, if you define control 

190
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,920
properly, you might be able to 
say that. 

191
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:36,600
But if you've been around any 
believer that's immature in the 

192
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,640
things of God, you know that 
literally is meaning to them. 

193
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:48,800
That God is literally carving 
out their path, that they can't 

194
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:55,160
deviate from whatever he wants 
done for them is going to happen

195
00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:00,080
regardless of anything because 
he's in. 

196
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:06,400
Even if you get in a car 
accident, he controlled that 

197
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,760
because he's trying to teach you
something because you understand

198
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,120
his ways are higher than your 
ways and his thoughts are. 

199
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:19,120
So they take scripture out of 
context to justify because the 

200
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,080
devil takes scripture out of 
context to help justify his 

201
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,800
doctrine. 
Well does God control something?

202
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:37,240
His word, Because his word is 
his will. 

203
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:53,680
Yep. 
Yet he states in John, If, well,

204
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,200
how in the world can you go 
against? 

205
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:02,000
It then. 
If he's in control, everything. 

206
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:11,920
The word control, by definition 
of the Merriam Webster 

207
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:17,000
definition, as far as a verb, 
means to have power over to 

208
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,640
exercise, restraining, or 
directing. 

209
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:25,360
Influence over the noun is to 
act or or an instance of 

210
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,680
controlling. 
Have you ever heard that word, 

211
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,920
man? 
You're just being controlling. 

212
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,160
Right. 
And again, we hear this term, 

213
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,640
people's receiving this in the 
definition of they're making me 

214
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,440
and forcing me. 
I see nowhere in Scripture that 

215
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:57,000
God forces because if God was in
total control, well, it's his 

216
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,840
ways the best. 
Then why are people going to 

217
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:04,600
hell? 
Which is why a lot of people 

218
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,200
have fallen away from the faith 
because they have a hard time 

219
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,280
siding God's in control with all
the sin going on in the world. 

220
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,320
And if God's all controlling and
powerful, why is he letting the 

221
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:22,480
devil do what he does? 
Since you're thinking Because if

222
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,200
we're going to understand the 
reigning spirit and be able to 

223
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,360
overcome in life, we've got to 
deal with this thing first, and 

224
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:33,800
it's called will power, 
willpower. 

225
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,160
Now here's the thing you've got 
to understand. 

226
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:41,600
God's creation has within it a 
will of its own. 

227
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:49,720
I'm going to say that again, 
God's creation has within it a 

228
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:58,640
will of its own, because God is 
not the only one with a with a 

229
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:09,440
will. 
And God never violates the will 

230
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:19,760
of another. 
God cannot Force One against 

231
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,800
their will, but only influence. 
It. 

232
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,680
But you understand this is 
happening all. 

233
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,080
Over the place. 
My wife influences me all the 

234
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:39,520
time concerning what to wear. 
Yeah, sometimes I come out of 

235
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,360
that closet feeling like 
Superman. 

236
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:47,280
And she said you better get back
in there, Clark Kent, I don't 

237
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,360
know what you were thinking when
you put that together. 

238
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,280
Now, ultimately she can't 
control me, right? 

239
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,000
I remember one time I'm like, 
I'm wearing it anyway and did 

240
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:04,000
and somebody had the audacity on
social media to talk about my 

241
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:15,800
clothes and my wife came back 
and said, see, she can't control

242
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:21,480
me, but she can bring influence.
But I have the ultimate. 

243
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:24,240
Willpower Oh y'all, don't want 
to hear this. 

244
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:33,200
I have the ultimate willpower. 
I decide whether I'm going to do

245
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,680
this or not. 
And so God has a will, but when 

246
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,640
there's places, layers within 
his creation, that has a will as

247
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:54,280
well and he doesn't override it,
even if they go against his. 

248
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,000
We've said this before, but I'm 
going to say it again. 

249
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,040
God will let you do anything you
want to do, but will hold you 

250
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,960
accountable to whatever you do 
to. 

251
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:15,320
His will I'm. 
Going to say that again and let 

252
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,600
me just say this, it couldn't be
any other way. 

253
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:26,320
God could not be a God of 
justice if he didn't give you 

254
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,320
the free will. 
To do something else. 

255
00:18:35,630 --> 00:18:39,190
And he did this in his creation 
before God even spoke anything, 

256
00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:41,750
he said. 
The minute I speak, I'm life. 

257
00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:46,270
And when I create elements, 
Heavenly host, we're going to 

258
00:18:46,270 --> 00:18:51,030
talk about Heavenly host today. 
We'll talk more about man next 

259
00:18:51,030 --> 00:18:56,990
week, OK? 
That he gave them the power of 

260
00:18:56,990 --> 00:19:06,600
will because the minute he sets 
the condition of life and if you

261
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,960
want to be with him, to truly 
love him. 

262
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:21,320
You have to of your own free 
will, and God will not violate 

263
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:26,000
your will even though He is life
and love. 

264
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,920
This is the most powerful thing.
Will is the most powerful thing.

265
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,720
This is why Jesus said again 
said in Matthew he said why do 

266
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:44,080
you transgress the commandment 
of God for the sake of your So 

267
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,880
you have a saying that you're 
saying is your will about this 

268
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,840
concerning God. 
But God has a saying concerning 

269
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:58,320
him, and you've chosen to hear 
your side, and God didn't stop 

270
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,240
you. 
Now that doesn't mean he didn't 

271
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:06,360
try to influence you. 
He didn't try to send his word 

272
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:09,440
by you. 
He didn't try to say, hey, I 

273
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,960
said before, you lie, fan, 
choose. 

274
00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:19,120
But you have to now. 
Just because God knows his will 

275
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:22,040
for your life doesn't mean he's 
going to be guaranteed you'll 

276
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,440
you'll do it. 
The word will means this again 

277
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,880
to, according to the Merriam 
Webster dictionary, the power to

278
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,320
control one's own actions and 
emotions. 

279
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:46,560
Mental powers manifested as 
wishing, desiring, choosing, or 

280
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:52,600
intending to determine by an act
of choice. 

281
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,080
Now think about if we drop this 
will down to a the simplicity. 

282
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,200
This is why you can't separate 
will from word. 

283
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:09,720
OK, you can't separate will from
word because will is the sum 

284
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:18,000
total of word and when you are 
deciding, you're deciding based 

285
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:24,920
upon some word. 
The question is, is the word 

286
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,800
you're siding with to make it 
your will, the supreme word and 

287
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,160
the word that has life? 
Because God will let you side 

288
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,080
with whatever word you want to 
side with. 

289
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,920
And he even allowed this with 
heavenly hopes. 

290
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:54,000
And he can't stop it because 
he's a God of justice and mercy 

291
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,960
and love. 
And he wants you to love him 

292
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:03,920
because you want to love him, 
not because he's forced you. 

293
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,120
He stripped you of your ability 
to choose. 

294
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,520
Because his way is right, 
Because his way is, oh man, his 

295
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,960
way is life. 
I mean, it's love. 

296
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,440
It's everything. 
It's perfection. 

297
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,120
It's awesome. 
It's the existence of love and 

298
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:20,960
life. 
It's that we can't even fathom 

299
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,080
it. 
It's so awesome we can't even 

300
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:34,040
look into the face yet. 
We can choose another word. 

301
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:41,440
That's good. 
That's why in First Timothy 4/1 

302
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,320
it says this. 
But the Spirit explicitly says 

303
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,960
that in the latter, at the time,
some would fall away from the 

304
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,240
faith. 
And why did they fall away? 

305
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:55,680
Paying attention. 
This is why I said in 

306
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:01,640
Corinthians chapter 10 tells us 
we are to take every Oh my gosh,

307
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,680
because God's like, listen, I at
the end of the day it's in your 

308
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:10,000
power. 
I've said my word of delivery 

309
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,360
but it's in your power. 
You have the power to take the 

310
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:20,800
thought captive, but if you 
don't, you can have your will 

311
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,200
but. 
Ultimately, in the end, it's my 

312
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,880
will that's going to be done and
you really want to side with his

313
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,760
will. 
Because it's the Creator. 

314
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,360
He knows more about you and for 
you and better for you than you 

315
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:39,160
know about yourself. 
And I love that word that came 

316
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,560
up today that you know through 
the unction of the Spirit, it'd 

317
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,320
be by all rights, in First 
Corinthians chapter 12, the gift

318
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,440
of prophecy, where the Lord 
wanted to give you a 

319
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,040
encouraging, edifying word that 
God's faithful and that many. 

320
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,760
If you don't watch out, you're 
trying to view the things that 

321
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,720
are happening around you through
your own broken mirror, your 

322
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:04,800
experiences, instead of, let me 
just let God define how to 

323
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,960
handle this deal. 
How to look at this? 

324
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,960
How to view this? 
Let me get my let me yield. 

325
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,000
Because you understand, you 
don't put your will on the 

326
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,520
table. 
You get your will assigned to 

327
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:19,840
his. 
That's why Jesus said he said, 

328
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,800
Lord, if there's any way for 
this cup to pass yet, not mine, 

329
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:28,600
because at the end of the day 
I'm siding, I will side with 

330
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,800
your will. 
I will side with your will. 

331
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,200
So if there's a different will 
of yours that keeps this thing 

332
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,680
from happening, it's tell me. 
Let me know so that I don't have

333
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,040
to be separated from you. 
I don't have to go to the cross.

334
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,840
I don't have to bear all this 
in. 

335
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,160
But if that's is the only way, 
if this is life, if this is how 

336
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,240
redemption must come, then I 
give my will to your will. 

337
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,760
And my will becomes your will 
because your Will's live and I 

338
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,480
do it with all my heart. 
No reservations. 

339
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,000
I'm not holding back. 
It is all me totally committed 

340
00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:09,720
to your way of doing it. 
Because Jesus had the power in 

341
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:18,040
the suit to say no. 
Wow. 

342
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,040
They're paying attention to 
deceitful spirits and doctrines 

343
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,840
of demons. 
Even in the heavenly host, a 

344
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,520
will was available. 
Isaiah chapter 14, Isaiah 

345
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,840
chapter 14. 
Now again, most scholars believe

346
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,720
this action occurred prior to 
the creation of the earth we're 

347
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,280
in today. 
As far as how the earth is 

348
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,800
functioning today, there are 
many scholars that believe that 

349
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,200
this account took place prior to
this. 

350
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:53,480
But in Isaiah chapter 14 verse 
12 it says this all or how you 

351
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,360
have fallen from heaven. 
All Star of the Morning, Son of 

352
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:01,000
Dawn, you have been cut down to 
the earth. 

353
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,080
You have weakened the nations, 
but you said in your heart. 

354
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,160
In essence, this is his will. 
I will ascend to heaven. 

355
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,400
I will raise my throne above the
stars of God. 

356
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,840
I will sit on the mount of the 
Assembly in the recesses of the 

357
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,840
north. 
I will ascend above the heights 

358
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,440
of the clouds. 
I will make myself like the Most

359
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,000
High Revelations gives us a 
little inside of some things 

360
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,200
that are happening in the realm 
of the spirit Revelations. 12. 

361
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,240
Seven through 9 it says. 
And there was a war in heaven. 

362
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,680
Michael and his angels raging 
war with the dragon, and the 

363
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,320
dragon and his angels waged war,
and they were not strong enough 

364
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,480
and there was no longer a place 
for them in heaven. 

365
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,400
And the great dragon was thrown 
down. 

366
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,200
The serpent of old who was 
called the devil and Satan who 

367
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,240
deceives the world, whole world.
He was thrown down to the earth 

368
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:56,480
and his angels were thrown down 
with him. 

369
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,920
Now get this. 
God creates the heavens and the 

370
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,960
earth. 
He is perfection, love, no sin. 

371
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,920
He said there's no darkness in 
him. 

372
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,520
He's not a man that he shall 
lie. 

373
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,920
In fact Jesus said when he goes 
to the God of this world or the 

374
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,760
tempter of the devil, he said he
has no part in me. 

375
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,720
There's nothing about me that we
are connected together. 

376
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,600
So in God it is life, love, 
perfection, it's everything. 

377
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,240
And he creates in his heavenly 
realm a heavenly host of cherubs

378
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,440
and Seraphims and angels and 
archangels A heavenly host. 

379
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:36,120
Yet they had the choice in a 
realm of perfection before any 

380
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:39,560
type of alternative thought 
manifested. 

381
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:51,400
The anointed Cherub himself, 
because of will, because of 

382
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:59,880
willpower, corrupted himself in 
perfection. 

383
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,880
I mean, the tempter wasn't 
tempted. 

384
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:11,480
No one's up there tempting him 
because the minute the Creator 

385
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,920
creates beyond himself the 
capacity and free will is to 

386
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:22,000
choose an alternative even 
though it's not written. 

387
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,440
Now with that being said, I 
can't tell you what was spoken 

388
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,000
in that realm. 
If I was to go with the 

389
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,840
character of God, that is, that 
is spoken within the context of 

390
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:37,720
the Bible, I might conclude God 
gave the capacity of choice, and

391
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,960
most likely did because we see 
with another creation that God 

392
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,400
gave the power of. 
So there must have been 

393
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:52,120
something that took place in the
heaven realm to where pride gets

394
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:57,080
lifted up in this anointed 
cherub and his will was so 

395
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,720
powerful that God couldn't stop 
it. 

396
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,600
Oh y'all, don't want to hear 
that. 

397
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,200
Nobody wants to ever hear that. 
Why? 

398
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,880
Because we think God is all 
power. 

399
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,120
He is according to his word, but
he wasn't. 

400
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,440
He's not all powerful at the 
point that he can stop someone 

401
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,760
from not choosing him when he's 
given them the power to not 

402
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,120
choose and he gives that choice.
This is why she had never have 

403
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,360
sympathy for the Satan or for 
any fallen Angel. 

404
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,040
Are you hearing me? 
What did Jesus say in Luke 

405
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,360
10/18? 
He said. 

406
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,800
Then he said to them I was 
watching Satan fall like 

407
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,440
lightning from heaven. 
And why does Satan fall? 

408
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,200
Because God didn't like him. 
Because God was on a power trip.

409
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,520
Because God sits up in the 
heavens is like, I'm so awesome.

410
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,280
I'm so cool. 
I'm a narcissist. 

411
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:56,200
Look at me. 
No, He's the embodiment of love,

412
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,680
right? 
Well, we go pick on somebody 

413
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,840
today. 
See, that's through the fragment

414
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:10,120
of sin that we look at. 
That when the reality is, as 

415
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:18,680
long as you have a will and you 
always will, then you can always

416
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:27,680
choose. 
I can't believe that Pastor's 

417
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:35,160
controlling my Sundays service 
at 10:30. 

418
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,760
I would much rather be here at 
11:45. 

419
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,240
Well, I'm not actually 
controlling you, am I? 

420
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:46,320
Because you made a choice to 
come within the boundaries that 

421
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:55,210
have been set. 
I'm telling you, if you're 

422
00:30:55,210 --> 00:30:59,330
hanging your hat on stuff in 
your life based upon what 

423
00:30:59,330 --> 00:31:06,940
someone's done to you. 
The Lord wants to liberate you 

424
00:31:07,820 --> 00:31:11,180
in this series because the 
minute you get liberated from 

425
00:31:11,180 --> 00:31:13,740
that and you realize the power 
of your will, then it does never

426
00:31:13,740 --> 00:31:17,560
matter. 
'Cause you can always choose his

427
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,280
word. 
Always. 

428
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,840
This is what I love about the 
power of will, that it didn't 

429
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,200
matter what happened to me, what
life, whatever. 

430
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,520
Even if I was still in the 
perfect environment, I can 

431
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:36,240
choose. 
I get to choose. 

432
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,560
What does Jude say? 
Jude says this, Jude chapter 

433
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,760
one, which is only one chapter, 
verses 5 to 6. 

434
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,280
The Passion says this, he says. 
I need to remind you, even 

435
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:50,160
though you are familiar with it,
that the Lord Jesus saved his 

436
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,840
people out of Egypt, but 
subsequentially destroyed those 

437
00:31:54,840 --> 00:32:00,240
who were guilty of unbelief. 
What we'll talk about this more,

438
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:08,840
I mean, he delivers them, yet 
because of their will, because 

439
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,640
of their will, they don't get to
the promised land. 

440
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,000
Verse six, though, is where we 
want to, you know, focus on 

441
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,600
because we're talking about the 
heavenly hosts, he says. 

442
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,600
In the same way there were 
heavenly messengers in rebellion

443
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,080
who went outside their what 
rightful domain of authority, 

444
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,840
and abandoned their appointed 
realms. 

445
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,120
God bound them, and everlasting 
chain is in key, and is keeping 

446
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:41,040
them in the dark of dark abyss 
of the netherworld until the 

447
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,560
judgment of the great day. 
Which means then this heavenly 

448
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:54,520
host had the willpower to leave 
what was assigned to them, where

449
00:32:54,520 --> 00:33:02,200
life existed. 
God through His Word, created 

450
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,200
the boundaries of life for this 
heavenly host, and the minute 

451
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:15,240
they chose to come out, then the
effect of His Word concerning 

452
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,560
going against His Word goes into
play. 

453
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:29,320
It goes into play because not 
because God wanted this, not 

454
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:35,160
because God desires it, but 
because the power of will has 

455
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:42,880
now made it mandatory. 
God can't be in sin, so the 

456
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,160
minute you choose to go against 
his will cause again sin, simply

457
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,760
defined, is disobeying God's 
word, and God can't be in the 

458
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,360
presence of that. 
That's nothing to do. 

459
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,240
He can't be in darkness. 
So you choose darkness not 

460
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,320
because God wants you to choose 
it, but you choose it. 

461
00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:59,800
And he'll let you have that 
choice. 

462
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:07,440
But he'll give you the 
consequence of that choice, that

463
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,360
you won't be able to blame God 
because you always have the 

464
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:21,030
power. 
See, the power of will can 

465
00:34:21,030 --> 00:34:24,070
overcome any circumstance. 
It doesn't matter. 

466
00:34:24,070 --> 00:34:25,469
That we're in a fallen state 
now. 

467
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,920
But before we get you to fallen 
state, let's trickle over a 

468
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,400
little bit this morning into the
realm of man Genesis 126. 

469
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:42,800
Come on, you see, in this God is
love and life, and every part of

470
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:49,440
His creation wants to be with 
Him, will be with Him of their 

471
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:55,679
own free will and those who do 
not. 

472
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:03,040
Will not of their own free will,
and he will not violate their 

473
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,200
will. 
He did not do this with the 

474
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,120
heavenly host, and he certainly 
will not do this with those 

475
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,640
created in his image, because at
the end of the day for him to be

476
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:20,120
a God of justice. 
See, it's such an error for us 

477
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,520
to take this so well. 
God's in control. 

478
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,840
He's controlling everything. 
He won't let this happen, this, 

479
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:24,800
that, and the other. 
You understand. 

480
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,480
God will not let you be tempted 
beyond what you're able to 

481
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,600
handle, which means he will help
influence things. 

482
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,040
But at the end of the day, if 
you accept the temptations that 

483
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:38,160
you are able to handle, then 
additional temptations are going

484
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,000
to show up. 
So He won't let you be tempted 

485
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,680
beyond what you're able. 
Which and what are you able 

486
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,280
what? 
He's already empowered you with 

487
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,680
his will, which is his word, to 
overcome that thought. 

488
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,600
But if you don't overcome it, 
guess what? 

489
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,120
More temptations are coming and 
you end up going down the road. 

490
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,520
He never intended you to be 
because he gave you the power to

491
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,560
overcome it here, but you didn't
choose it. 

492
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,400
You chose to go a different 
direction. 

493
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,640
And it's not God's fault. 
It's your fault for not 

494
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:07,480
choosing, because you never lose
personal responsibility, even in

495
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,480
grace. 
Grace does not 'cause your will 

496
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:19,000
to be exempt. 
You got into grace because of 

497
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,200
your will. 
You received the grace of God 

498
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,280
because of your will. 
Why? 

499
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,600
Because you made a choice by 
faith to believe God in his 

500
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,480
word, and that Jesus Christ died
and that he rose from the dead. 

501
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,760
And you called on his name to be
Lord of your life, and it caused

502
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,720
the grace of God to show up. 
But when Grace moved in, your 

503
00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:45,760
will didn't move out. 
Steal your will, and what's 

504
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,360
really awesome is Grace actually
empowers you to be able to have 

505
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,880
without issues anymore. 
He's able to clean up all the 

506
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,640
broken places. 
He's able to make the glass 

507
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,560
completely clear. 
He's able to pull the veil back.

508
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,600
He's able to show you a great 
clarity. 

509
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,440
Because he's giving you the 
teacher on the inside, to say 

510
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,840
this is my word, this is my 
will, this is my word, this is 

511
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,480
my will, Get your will with my 
will. 

512
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,880
And there's nothing that'd be 
impossible with you. 

513
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,320
But at any time, even in 
deliverance, you can side with 

514
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:23,920
the wrong party. 
You can side with the wrong 

515
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,600
party. 
And that's not God's fault. 

516
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:31,160
That's God saying I'm not going 
to force you. 

517
00:37:33,720 --> 00:37:35,840
See, there's a day that comes 
called judgment. 

518
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,400
He's spoken it. 
He's spoken it. 

519
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,680
But you know what else He's 
spoken how? 

520
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:48,400
You don't get it. 
So when the judgment comes, if 

521
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,120
it's coming to you, it's not 
because he didn't give you his 

522
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,480
word or his will on the matter 
for you to submit your will to 

523
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,840
and want it to be your will too,
so that when he judges you, 

524
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,600
he'll say I'm giving you what 
you wanted. 

525
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,760
Now you understand. 
Liars lie then. 

526
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,400
Oh, Daddy, what I wanted, Lord, 
he's like, really? 

527
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,320
Let me just go ahead and show 
you your heart. 

528
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,840
Oh my gosh, the Lord knows my 
heart. 

529
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:22,040
You bet he does. 
This is why Jesus came and 

530
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,320
started ripping on the will. 
Are you hearing me? 

531
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:26,600
He said. 
You've heard it said. 

532
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,280
Thou shalt not commit murder. 
But I say unto you, you didn't 

533
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,640
kill the guy, but on the inside 
you wanted to kill the guy. 

534
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,800
You wish that you could get away
with it. 

535
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,960
You wanted to do it so bad. 
If there was any way that you 

536
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,200
could will it this way, you 
would have done it. 

537
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,840
And you rehearsed it in your. 
Mind 100 times and every time 

538
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,600
you saw them, you're like, I 
wish they were dead. 

539
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,920
Although I won't do it because 
I'm holy. 

540
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,480
Are you hearing me? 
And Genesis 126th? 

541
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,320
And God said, let us make man in
our image according to our 

542
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,520
likeness. 
Well, if he's in your image and 

543
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,000
in his likeness, God has a will.
Guess what you have. 

544
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,040
Yeah, and let them. 
So what's the will of the 

545
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,720
Father? 
For man to rule. 

546
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,000
Over the fish of the sea, Over 
the birds of the sky. 

547
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,200
Over the cattle. 
Over all the earth. 

548
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,600
Over every creepy thing that 
creeps on the earth. 

549
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,640
God created man in his own 
image. 

550
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,080
In the image of God, He created 
him male and female. 

551
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,600
He created them, he said. 
You're like me. 

552
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,240
You can speak things in 
existence if you'll just hear 

553
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:31,560
what I say. 
You have your will side with my 

554
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:32,920
will. 
You can speak life. 

555
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,080
You can call those things that 
be not as though they were. 

556
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,880
You can live by faith. 
The whole world will function at

557
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,320
your word according and it will 
build life. 

558
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,520
It will build life. 
It will build life according to 

559
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,320
your word. 
It will build life, just like 

560
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:48,120
me. 
But if you choose other, then 

561
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,360
your words will build death. 
And out of your own mouth you 

562
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:58,040
build death. 
Because life and death are in 

563
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:06,760
the because the tongue is 
expressing the will of the words

564
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:11,360
you have sided with, that you've
kept in constant repetition in 

565
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:19,240
your mind. 
And it wasn't God. 

566
00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:21,000
I can't believe God put me 
through this. 

567
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,160
God ain't put you through 
nothing. 

568
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:29,440
Your will put you through a lot.
Are you hearing me now? 

569
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,880
We live in a sin state, which 
means people's will can get on 

570
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,160
you. 
Are you hearing me? 

571
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:42,920
And people can violate you, but 
you still have your will on how 

572
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,760
to respond. 
And nobody can stop that. 

573
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:49,920
I can't believe you forgave 
them. 

574
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,920
I mean, how could you forgive 
them for what they did to you? 

575
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:05,880
Well, because the Creator of 
life said his will is to 

576
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,080
forgive. 
And he sure forgave me and his 

577
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,160
will said, well, if I've 
forgiven you, then you need to 

578
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,840
forgive. 
So I'm going to side with him 

579
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,680
and I'm just going to forget. 
Now that doesn't mean 

580
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,160
consequences, but that just 
means I forgive. 

581
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,280
I'm not holding this account 
against you. 

582
00:41:29,980 --> 00:41:34,500
So really, if we're talking 
control, you want to know who's 

583
00:41:34,500 --> 00:41:38,380
in control. 
Just stare at yourself in the 

584
00:41:38,380 --> 00:41:45,700
mirror. 
Just stare at yourself for a 

585
00:41:45,700 --> 00:41:49,400
while when you're complaining 
about how things are going down 

586
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:52,920
because trials and tribulations 
are coming. 

587
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,920
Yeah, they may be outside of 
what you would have wanted, but 

588
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:01,280
yet you can change them. 
You can turn it what the devil 

589
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,600
meant for bad. 
God will empower you to turn it 

590
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,080
for good. 
But if you don't stay with his 

591
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:11,560
side in the midst of the storm, 
if you don't take control, then 

592
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,960
it will ultimately influence you
and you will take control of 

593
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,160
that thought as well and let 
that thought happen. 

594
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,320
I refuse to be a puppet to 
anyone's strings. 

595
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,600
Amen. 
Genesis 215 to 17. 

596
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,920
You've heard us say this says 
Then God took the man and put 

597
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,360
him in the garden of Eden and 
cultivated it and kept it. 

598
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:41,600
And the Lord God commanded the 
man saying, from any tree of the

599
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,600
garden you may eat freely, but 
from the tree of the knowledge 

600
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:45,960
of good and evil you shall not 
eat. 

601
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,240
From the day you eat, you will, 
surely I can't tell you how many

602
00:42:49,240 --> 00:42:50,640
times I've had people have 
conversation. 

603
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,160
Well, if God knew he was going 
to eat it, why'd he put it there

604
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,920
in the 1st place? 
Because man, God can't know if 

605
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:05,960
you love him. 
God doesn't want anyone with him

606
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,240
because he's made them. 
Yeah. 

607
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:14,720
That's good. 
And the power of choice is what 

608
00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:16,800
makes you decide you'll be with 
him. 

609
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:24,520
So God having this condition in 
the guard, in a perfect 

610
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:29,760
environment, no sin, no sin. 
God clean that up. 

611
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:36,440
No sin. 
And yet, man, all he has to do 

612
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:45,080
is say I choose to have my will 
be his will, and I have that 

613
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:50,720
power, which means Adam had the 
power, which is true authority. 

614
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:58,200
God really gave him some 
authority here, the power of his

615
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:05,720
will that God can't control, he 
can't influence. 

616
00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:09,160
If that's all we're going to use
the word for control with, he 

617
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:15,160
can do that. 
But he cannot make because in 

618
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:22,400
the end, do you want it? 
Then you make the choice to want

619
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,840
it. 
And now you're free. 

620
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,240
You won't with God. 
Not 'cause you have to. 

621
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,600
Then you say, well, that seems 
kind of bad, though. 

622
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,040
I mean, I have to really, 'cause
if I don't, it's death, OK? 

623
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,080
I didn't even make sense that 
you would choose death, because 

624
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:46,040
really what you're saying is my 
idea of life is higher than 

625
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,680
God's idea of life. 
So again, now we've just moved 

626
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:53,760
down to the simplicity of words.
So basically you're saying your 

627
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:58,160
way would be actually better 
than God's way. 

628
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:00,800
And you know what? 
You can do that. 

629
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,600
But here's the thing. 
God's way is the highest way 

630
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:13,040
because before any of us 
existed, God, before the 

631
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:18,400
heavenly host God, before sin 
God. 

632
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,040
So at the end of the day, the 
argument is, is that you want 

633
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:28,120
God to actually submit to you 
and your will. 

634
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:39,640
And God does not yield to any 
other God, not even his own 

635
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:44,240
creation. 
He doesn't do it. 

636
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,200
He just lets you choose. 
And he's giving you. 

637
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,120
That power. 
See, This is why we're without 

638
00:45:55,240 --> 00:45:58,520
excuse. 
We're with that excuse. 

639
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:07,360
We're with that excuse, right? 
Think about it. 

640
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,880
You could read the Bible as 
often as you want. 

641
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,960
You can pray in the Spirit as 
often as you want or not. 

642
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:21,800
You have the choice. 
Now I get it. 

643
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,800
Because again, well, that's not 
true. 

644
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,600
I mean, in life, you know, we 
have to do well. 

645
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,920
Again, all of you are going to 
go to work tomorrow and guess 

646
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,400
who's choosing what time you 
show up. 

647
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:32,080
But you know what? 
You actually don't have to show 

648
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,600
up. 
So they're really not 

649
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:40,120
controlling your time. 
What they're doing is they're 

650
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:44,600
saying we have determined that 
this is success business and 

651
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,480
this is the type of workers we 
want. 

652
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,040
Now of your own free will, you 
can be a part of that or not. 

653
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:56,840
Now, we'll reward you to these 
levels if you do it our way, but

654
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:06,720
at the end, and any environment 
that's technically having a 

655
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:11,280
forced agenda in one sense you 
understand, is coming from the 

656
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:16,920
devil's side. 
Because really all the devil is 

657
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,120
doing is doing everything he 
can. 

658
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,440
Because here's the thing. 
Even if they threw you in prison

659
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,880
today and beat you daily and 
gave you just enough so you 

660
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:25,600
could. 
Survive. 

661
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:30,800
You could keep your will intact.
You could still love your the 

662
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,920
ones who beat you. 
You can still pray for them. 

663
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:42,000
They can't break your they may 
break your body, they may abuse 

664
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,040
you, they may do, but they can't
break you. 

665
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,440
And you choosing to stay with 
the nature of God. 

666
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:56,360
And God says, I don't care what 
happens to you, I'll still 

667
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,080
reward you. 
And when you take the account of

668
00:47:59,240 --> 00:48:02,320
that kind of life, even if it 
was their whole time on the 

669
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,320
planet, what will that be 
compared to Eternity. 

670
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:13,880
It's not even like a dust. 
Yet the majority of humanity is 

671
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,240
not going to live under that 
kind of condition. 

672
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:23,320
So what we do is we take 
extremes to try to justify our 

673
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:28,080
will and how we're doing it, how
we want God to associate with 

674
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:29,080
us. 
And you know what? 

675
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:34,200
And God won't stop you from that
thinking, although that thinking

676
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:40,480
will bring death to you, because
God has no. 

677
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:50,720
Power over your will. 
He can influence, I'm not 

678
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:54,160
saying, and he does trust me, he
influences. 

679
00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:57,320
He's the greatest influencer. 
In fact, he's the chief 

680
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:01,680
influencer because he can 
influence you with his spirit, 

681
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,320
with other people. 
And again, he's given before you

682
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,560
live and he's just telling you, 
choose it, choose it, choose it.

683
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,360
But at the end of the day, you 
have to. 

684
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:17,840
You have to choose it. 
So when people say from the 

685
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,680
statement God's in control of 
God's such a loving God, then 

686
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:21,880
why is he throwing people in 
hell? 

687
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,760
He's not. 
They choose to go of their own 

688
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:31,160
free because your will is always
free, even if you're caged. 

689
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,240
How can the madman of Gadarean 
who had a legion of demons still

690
00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:46,360
be able to find himself when God
showed up that they abused his 

691
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,320
body, controlled him? 
I mean manipulated Ki mean 

692
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:55,400
that's how the devil functioned,
yet that willpower of that guy, 

693
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,720
that human spirit was able to 
run towards God fall. 

694
00:49:59,720 --> 00:50:03,760
Down then the other. 
Started to manifest. 

695
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,840
Have you come to torment us 
before our time? 

696
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:12,360
And he delivered the man. 
Are you hearing me? 

697
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:17,680
Wow, the power of the human 
will. 

698
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,560
So again, God says to him, if 
you don't eat the fruit, you're 

699
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,240
going to live forever. 
If you eat the fruit, you're 

700
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:26,720
going to what? 
You're going to die. 

701
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,520
So was it God's fault that he 
put the tree? 

702
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:37,280
Because you understand what 
people do like we holier than 

703
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,840
God. 
Well, God should put a tree 

704
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:39,720
there. 
It's your fault. 

705
00:50:44,200 --> 00:51:01,400
No, no, 
Genesis 3 one through 5 says now

706
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,400
the serpent was more crafty than
any beast of the field which the

707
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,760
Lord God had made. 
And he said to the woman, 

708
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,240
indeed, as God said, has God 
what? 

709
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,440
Why does he want to know what 
God says? 

710
00:51:18,860 --> 00:51:24,140
Because what God says is his 
will and his word. 

711
00:51:26,820 --> 00:51:28,380
You shall not eat from any tree 
of the garden. 

712
00:51:28,380 --> 00:51:30,580
But the woman said to the 
serpent, from the fruit of the 

713
00:51:30,580 --> 00:51:32,500
tree of the garden we may eat, 
but from the fruit of the tree 

714
00:51:32,500 --> 00:51:34,780
which is in the middle of the 
garden, God said, you shall not 

715
00:51:34,780 --> 00:51:36,100
eat or touch it, or you will 
die. 

716
00:51:36,900 --> 00:51:38,420
And the serpent said to the 
woman. 

717
00:51:39,660 --> 00:51:44,280
And the serpent what serpent 
What said? 

718
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:51,720
He's. 
Trying to control her, which 

719
00:51:51,720 --> 00:51:53,800
means he's just trying to 
influence her. 

720
00:51:54,520 --> 00:52:07,840
'Cause he actually can't control
her, it is impossible to 

721
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,040
control. 
Her. 

722
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,920
This is really powerful. 
Adam and Eve are in the nature 

723
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:25,720
of God, and when you're in the 
nature of God, it's impossible 

724
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:30,200
for the enemy to control you. 
That's why the New Covenant 

725
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:31,760
we're in 'cause it's a new and 
better covenant. 

726
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,840
We are born in Christ, we are 
born again. 

727
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,200
Our spirit man is alive to God, 
and the Holy Ghost lives on the 

728
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,480
inside of us and bears witness 
with our spirit that we're child

729
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:39,640
of God. 
That's why the Scripture says 

730
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,120
this. 
The devil roams around the earth

731
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:49,560
roaring like a lion, seeking 
whom he can get permission of 

732
00:52:49,560 --> 00:53:00,320
those who are in covenant whom 
he may devour Devil has no power

733
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:01,440
over you. 
If you're in a new covenant, 

734
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,120
you're born again unless you 
yield it. 

735
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:07,360
And how do you yield it? 
The same way these before sin 

736
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:11,080
ever entered the earth. 
How did was it abdicated or 

737
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:17,600
yielded to him? 
Through a word, a thought, they 

738
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,360
align their will to his. 
Saying. 

739
00:53:28,720 --> 00:53:31,120
And let me tell you, it's not 
too opposing. 

740
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,520
It's not. 
The devil is the author of 

741
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:37,760
death. 
Death manifests the minute life 

742
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:41,160
is spoken. 
What do I mean by that? 

743
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:42,800
The minute you take the 
alternative. 

744
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:48,720
And anyone could have awoken. 
Caused that to wake up. 

745
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:55,320
Could have caused that to wake 
up OK. 

746
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:08,680
Anyone of free will could choose
to rebel in the heavenly host 

747
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:13,440
realm. 
It was an only cherub in the 

748
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,240
human realm. 
It was Adam. 

749
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,720
I said it was Adam. 
So. 

750
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:23,480
Sin on the earth is not God's 
problem. 

751
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:33,760
It was willpower, but God has 
the power of the will. 

752
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:41,480
And he says, Nah, I'm going to 
establish a condition that I'll 

753
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,960
come myself in the form of a man
and get it back. 

754
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:50,000
And here's the condition. 
If they call on my name and they

755
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,720
willfully want to stay with me 
in covenant, the minute they get

756
00:54:52,720 --> 00:55:02,120
in covenant and never deviate, 
then they'll never taste death. 

757
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:12,680
The power of will, the power of 
will. 

758
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:18,320
Man ate the fruit and God came 
down verse 9. 

759
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:22,680
Then the Lord God called the man
and said, where are? 

760
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,520
You. 
And he's still asking that 

761
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:30,400
question today, not only of 
those outside of his Kingdom, 

762
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:35,760
but even those in his Kingdom. 
Where are you? 

763
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:37,600
Where are your thoughts right 
now? 

764
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,480
What are you entertaining? 
What are you thinking? 

765
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,120
What are you allowing to start 
influencing your willpower? 

766
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,800
What are you meditating and 
churning and letting get in your

767
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,600
mind? 
Is it? 

768
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:52,560
It is written. 
It is written. 

769
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:54,240
It is written. 
Or is it? 

770
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,680
I can't believe they did that. 
I can't believe that happened. 

771
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,800
I can't believe our history. 
That's good. 

772
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,120
You know, we, I've never been a 
my whole family. 

773
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:13,520
We've never I've. 
Always had this? 

774
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:17,800
Yes, that's good. 
What are you chewing on? 

775
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:24,040
And it will manifest in your 
willpower cause out of the 

776
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:28,720
abundance of the heart and it's 
what you're meditating on. 

777
00:56:28,720 --> 00:56:30,600
It's what you keep churning 
around. 

778
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:33,360
And This is why in this covenant
we're in. 

779
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:35,280
He's like, I know your mind's 
broken. 

780
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,200
I know it's all jacked up. 
I know junks happened to you. 

781
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,200
But I've given you a willpower 
to come out. 

782
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,000
When I brought my word by. 
And not only did I save you, not

783
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,720
only did I give you a new 
spirit. 

784
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:46,240
Not only have I made your spirit
alive. 

785
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,240
I put myself in you. 
And now, if you'll continue in 

786
00:56:49,240 --> 00:56:52,040
my word. 
If you'll take the willpower to 

787
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,160
continue in my word, my word is 
going to be truth. 

788
00:56:55,240 --> 00:56:58,240
It's going to set you free. 
And you'll be my disciple. 

789
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,040
And if you'll keep my word, 
you'll never taste death. 

790
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,160
But it's you got to get your 
willpower to be my will. 

791
00:57:04,240 --> 00:57:07,680
You got to align your will to my
will To my will. 

792
00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:09,960
I don't care that what is God 
saying? 

793
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,080
Truly free people are like, 
doesn't matter. 

794
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:28,430
What does the word say? 
They stole my money. 

795
00:57:29,670 --> 00:57:32,400
What if they did? 
That's all right. 

796
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,280
I got a God in heaven that says 
he'll supply all my needs 

797
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:35,960
according to his riches and 
glory, and I'm fine. 

798
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:45,960
There's not a situation I can't 
overcome 'cause I have the power

799
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:52,880
to believe God, and you can't 
stop it, and nobody can stop 

800
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,960
you. 
Ain't that amazing that the 

801
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:01,560
Creator of heaven and earth has 
given you the power? 

802
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:09,200
To maintain your righteousness, 
to live holy and blameless, To 

803
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:14,400
to display the nature of God. 
If. 

804
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,880
You'll continue in his word, 
because his word is his will, 

805
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,160
and he watches over his word to 
perform it and will never 

806
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:23,440
return. 
A damn boy, but it shall 

807
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,000
accomplish that which it was 
sent to do. 

808
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:34,680
Isn't that amazing? 
Which means if I can have joy in

809
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:41,160
the Holy Ghost, then when my 
whole world makes me want to 

810
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:46,320
cry, I can choose by the power 
of my own will. 

811
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,040
To say, I'll just take. 
Some joy in the Holy Ghost. 

812
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,920
I can get over in the Spirit. 
I can pray in the Holy Ghost. 

813
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,440
I can begin to laugh. 
In the Spirit, I can begin to 

814
00:58:56,440 --> 00:59:00,120
build up my most holy faith. 
But again, if you're talking 

815
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,520
about what's going on and the 
problem that's happening and the

816
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:03,720
issues that are going, guess 
what? 

817
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:09,720
Your will is siding with your. 
And God didn't do that. 

818
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:15,760
He sent His word to heal you, to
deliver you, to redeem you, to 

819
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,680
set you free. 
But you have to choose. 

820
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:30,480
It all comes down to this. 
The personal responsibility to 

821
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:36,440
choose because a loving God lets
you choose. 

822
00:59:42,320 --> 01:00:03,330
Period. 
No excuse, man. 

823
01:00:03,330 --> 01:00:06,130
How liberating is this? 
This is I mean if you're because

824
01:00:06,130 --> 01:00:08,890
again, right now if you're if 
you're just thinking on what you

825
01:00:09,050 --> 01:00:11,690
want to think on and you're 
like, yeah, but I feel like I I 

826
01:00:11,690 --> 01:00:16,050
mean I'm I'm entitled, OK now. 
I mean now see if you go there, 

827
01:00:16,050 --> 01:00:17,170
I shoot. 
I I get it. 

828
01:00:17,890 --> 01:00:19,530
God can't stop you from going 
there. 

829
01:00:19,890 --> 01:00:22,130
I mean if you want to debate 
with God about your entitlement 

830
01:00:24,490 --> 01:00:26,210
or if you want to go over to 
God's side. 

831
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,000
I mean, whatever happens, I just
go to God's. 

832
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,280
I'm like, let me just let me get
a vision of the cross real 

833
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,000
quick. 
Lord, just give me a vision of 

834
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:37,560
the cross. 
I sometimes it's just good to go

835
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,360
read the crucifixion again. 
Why? 

836
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,920
Because I can say OK. 
Let me see that crown of thorns 

837
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,440
on your head. 
Let me let me imagine right now.

838
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,440
Maybe I should just watch the 
Passion of Christ. 

839
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,920
And even though that's G rated 
compared to what really happened

840
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,640
to Jesus, let me just imagine as
I read these scriptures of them 

841
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,280
putting a crown of thorns on 
your head and stripping the 

842
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,680
flesh off your back. 
Let me just get this imagination

843
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:00,160
of them taking and punching you 
in the face and ripping your 

844
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,040
beard. 
Let me and taking that staff and

845
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:03,920
punching you in the top of the 
head. 

846
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,200
Let me just envision this thing 
that you laid out in front of 

847
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:10,160
everyone completely naked and 
you're taking on my sin. 

848
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,320
Let me just imagine. 
You're doing this willfully so 

849
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,840
that I can align my will to your
will. 

850
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,840
So before I feel like I have an 
injustice done before, I feel 

851
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,160
like, man, there's something 
here. 

852
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:24,160
Let me just take all this real 
quick. 

853
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,760
Let me just think on. 
Let me just meditate on this and

854
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:28,400
let me move. 
Because at the end of the day, 

855
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:30,600
if there's anything out there 
that ain't right, you're going 

856
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:32,440
to deal with that. 
You're going to vindicate me. 

857
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:33,720
You're going to bring vengeance 
for me. 

858
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,000
You're going to do those things.
You're going to make it right by

859
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,520
me. 
You're going to do these things.

860
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,080
You, you, you're. 
In fact, there are times that 

861
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:43,240
the Lord has said just go ahead 
and bless your enemy, man. 

862
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:45,560
It's like, I don't feel like it,
but you all going to take your 

863
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:48,120
will on this deal. 
The enemy said walk a mile, I'm 

864
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,160
a walk 2 with them. 
They don't deserve for me to 

865
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:51,680
walk through. 
They don't even deserve for me 

866
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,720
to acknowledge they exist. 
But I'm a walk two mile because 

867
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,840
the will of the Father is for me
to go 2 miles now and I'm going 

868
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,200
to go 2 miles because I'm free. 
I'm free. 

869
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,760
From what they did, I'm free. 
From what they did, I'm free. 

870
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:04,800
From how they act, I'm free. 
From this circumstance. 

871
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,520
I'm free from this situation 
because he took all that on so I

872
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:09,840
could be free. 
Free. 

873
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:15,200
Indeed, I'm free. 
My gosh, I'm free. 

874
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,680
I'm free. 
I'm free. 

875
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,320
I'm free to prosper. 
I'm free to have joy. 

876
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,560
I'm free to run. 
I'm free to laugh. 

877
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:25,800
I'm free to dance. 
I'm free to shout. 

878
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:27,800
I'm free to overcome my 
emotions. 

879
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,400
I'm free. 
I'm free to act like God. 

880
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,920
I'm free to be full of life, To 
be full of joy, To be full of 

881
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:35,560
peace. 
In the midst of the storm. 

882
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,480
I'm free. 
You can't stop me from acting 

883
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:40,600
like God. 
From responding like God. 

884
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,880
From being like God. 
From having joy like God. 

885
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,480
From being redeemed. 
From my past, From having my 

886
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,360
mind renewed. 
You can't stop my progression. 

887
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,600
That's true freedom, I said. 
That's freedom. 

888
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:57,480
You can't stop the crowns that 
God wants to throw down at me 

889
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,720
for my reward of being faithful.
Can't stop it. 

890
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,560
I'm free And whom the Son is 
set. 

891
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:09,520
Free Free indeed. 
Free indeed. 

892
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:12,240
Free indeed. 
Free indeed. 

893
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,680
Free indeed free indeed. 
I'm free. 

894
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,240
I'm free. 
I'm free. 

895
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:22,320
I'm free. 
I have the power of my own will 

896
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,840
to get with the will of God and 
have God's stuff come into my 

897
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,320
life. 
Woo man. 

898
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,840
That's true freedom. 
That's freedom. 

899
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,840
That's freedom, yeah. 
In this life you go have trials 

900
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:35,840
and tribulation. 
Jesus said that, he said. 

901
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:40,080
But be of good, for I've 
overcome the what if that's his 

902
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,400
will to overcome the world and 
be happy, Then I'm happy. 

903
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:49,480
I choose happy. 
I choose it 'cause really. 

904
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,920
Half the stuff that we're 
choosing to side with isn't even

905
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,640
as. 
Bad as the enemy is puffing it 

906
01:03:55,640 --> 01:04:00,560
up to be Woo. 
I'm free. 

907
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,320
I'm free. 
Come on. 

908
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:06,120
Anybody free in this place? 
Yeah. 

909
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:11,400
God has given you power. 
Even though you can choose 

910
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:13,960
against it. 
Still your choice. 

911
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:16,640
That's why we're out. 
Excuse. 

912
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,520
What's awesome is I'm alive to 
God and I just choose life. 

913
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:24,200
I choose life. 
I choose life. 

914
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,640
Devil can't stop me. 
Demons can't stop me. 

915
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:32,560
Temptation can't stop me because
I want to love God. 

916
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,920
I want to do His word. 
I want to live according to His 

917
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,560
word and His will. 
I want it to manifest in my 

918
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:40,960
life. 
I want heaven to show up in the.

919
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:47,080
Earth through me and through you
and through His church. 

920
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:53,680
Wow, what a powerful. 
How powerful is your will? 

921
01:04:55,880 --> 01:05:03,720
It determines your destination. 
God will guide your steps, but 

922
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:15,240
will not drag you there, not 
drag you there. 

923
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,280
We'll talk more because there's 
a lot that that. 

924
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,400
God's in control. 
It's taken a lot of Scripture 

925
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,200
out of context that we're going 
to have to talk about. 

926
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:30,240
We're going to talk about. 
Are you hearing me, Father? 

927
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:31,560
We love you and we honor you. 
We thank you. 

928
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,520
You're the King of Kings and the
Lord of Lords. 

929
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,360
We thank you for willpower that 
you gave creation. 

930
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:42,600
So we choose. 
We choose you. 

931
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:47,120
We choose life. 
We choose you. 

932
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,400
Oh, we choose you. 
Whatever head bow and every eye 

933
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:51,400
closed. 
No one's looking around. 

934
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:52,840
We're going to do communion here
in a second. 

935
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:59,120
But in order to have communion, 
you must be born again, and it's

936
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:05,160
your choice. 
See, God through the act of 

937
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:14,680
Jesus Christ has conquered every
wrongdoing and has given an 

938
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:20,040
opportunity for you to choose. 
Look at me real quick. 

939
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:25,800
Look at me even if. 
Jesus is not Lord of your life. 

940
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:31,080
And you by your spirit, which is
dead and separated from from 

941
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:34,480
God, has to sin. 
It's its nature. 

942
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:40,280
Yet your. 
Willpower is strong enough to 

943
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:45,720
tell that dead spirit you're not
staying in me any longer. 

944
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:52,400
I'm going to accept Jesus. 
Listen, your dead spirit that 

945
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:57,040
cannot go after God, that God at
him at his word to speak to you 

946
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:59,400
and let you know that Jesus died
on the cross. 

947
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:01,440
For all your sin, all your 
wrongdoing, everything you've 

948
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,360
ever done wrong, whatever, it 
doesn't matter. 

949
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:06,120
God Forgives you. 
All you got to do is make him 

950
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:07,840
supreme in authority, Lord of 
your life. 

951
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,880
He will take his blood, apply to
your account, He'll make you a 

952
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:15,240
new person, and you have the 
willpower even in as a lost 

953
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:20,840
person. 
To make that choice with all 

954
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:24,160
your heart and confess with your
mouth. 

955
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:28,840
Jesus is Lord, and God will take
that spirit according to your 

956
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:33,720
will that was dead, snatch it 
out of you, and put a new one on

957
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:35,440
the inside of you that's alive 
to God. 

958
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:39,640
That's the power you have right 
now, but it's up to you. 

959
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:45,400
Because he will not remove a 
dead spirit from you if you 

960
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:54,920
choose to remain dead, but if 
you want life, he'll do it now. 

961
01:07:54,920 --> 01:08:02,840
If you're a believer today, 
sometimes we choose death. 

962
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:07,600
We entertain thoughts that bring
division and strife to us. 

963
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:14,160
Anxiety and our eyes are being 
filled and our ears are being 

964
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:18,080
filled to support it as the 
reality of life. 

965
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:25,520
But God, I said but God and 
today if you are believing you 

966
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:31,439
say man I know I'm meditating 
and my will in a particular area

967
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,160
is is set against the will of 
the father. 

968
01:08:34,279 --> 01:08:37,960
In this situation you can come 
and repent and get that right. 

969
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:45,920
You can turn on a dime. 
You can become willing because 

970
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:52,479
the Bible says it's the willing 
and which means you can obey 

971
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,640
without being willing and you 
don't qualify. 

972
01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:05,800
That's called manipulating God's
word on your condition. 

973
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,200
And there's plenty of people 
that keep the word, but on their

974
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:18,200
condition needs to know the 
willing and the obedient. 

975
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:23,200
We eat the good of the land. 
So whether you're born again and

976
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:25,680
you know there's an area in your
life, you need to get under 

977
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:29,680
God's will cause your mind is 
definitely not entertaining his 

978
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:33,600
will. 
Or you've never made Jesus Lord 

979
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:40,680
and you want to make Jesus Lord.
Today I want you to be bold and 

980
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:45,279
step out. 
I'm calling you out because at 

981
01:09:45,279 --> 01:09:48,680
the end of the day, it's a great
exercise for you to show 

982
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:52,520
yourself that my body doesn't 
control me. 

983
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:59,720
They didn't do what I say, and 
I'm going down and getting right

984
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:04,840
with God. 
But you got to move. 

985
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:09,560
If it's you, whether you're born
again and you need to just 

986
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:13,560
repent of something, or whether 
you are not right with God and 

987
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:15,520
you want to be born, I got 
people to my right, left that 

988
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,280
pray with you because I don't 
want you taking communion. 

989
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,920
If you're not right with God, in
fact, if you're right with God 

990
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:24,640
and there's an issue that you're
in right now, you know it. 

991
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:26,640
And this is how I know, because 
the Spirit of truth is here to 

992
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:28,360
liberate you. 
He's here to set you free. 

993
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:32,040
And if you know God's word about
it, but you're not choosing, 

994
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,560
that's that's tough. 
Because when you take communion,

995
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:36,800
you'll start drinking judgment 
to yourself because you're 

996
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,800
judging the situation according 
to how you want it done. 

997
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:47,640
It's not what he has said. 
God is the only righteous judge,

998
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:55,400
and he'll work it out. 
Make no mistake about it. 

999
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,840
There's no sin that's not going 
to be dealt with. 

1000
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,840
There's no situation that's not 
going to be dealt with. 

1001
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:07,280
None. 
I'm going to ask one more time. 

1002
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:11,000
Definitely not begging because 
God's worth running to because 

1003
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,680
that's mercy. 
God's mercy is saying just take 

1004
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:16,360
my will. 
Come choose life anyone, law, 

1005
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,320
anyone, law before we take 
communion. 

1006
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:25,320
Hallelujah. 
Well, let's have a seat. 

1007
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:30,760
If you did not get a communion 
elements, just lift your hand 

1008
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:32,480
our. 
Ushers are going to look around,

1009
01:11:32,480 --> 01:11:34,720
find you. 
And give it to you. 

1010
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,640
Amen. 
Oh my Mama. 

1011
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:50,200
God has given you the ability to
believe him at his word. 

1012
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:53,120
You can do it with your 
willpower. 

1013
01:11:56,640 --> 01:12:00,800
Oh, my Mama. 
You can do it with your 

1014
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,520
willpower. 
You can do it. 

1015
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:21,960
You can do it, my Mama. 
Thank you, Jesus. 

1016
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:36,760
Do you know there are people in 
the earth that have not done 

1017
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:39,680
wrong, but a wrong was done to 
them? 

1018
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:45,240
That has happened in prison 
right now. 

1019
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:50,240
There are some people in prison 
right now that did not do what 

1020
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:55,240
they've been accused, tried and 
sentenced, but the majority 

1021
01:12:55,240 --> 01:13:03,400
have. 
The majority have, but how they 

1022
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:06,840
live on the inside is up to 
them. 

1023
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:12,120
In this sanctuary right now, 
there are people that were in 

1024
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:16,080
PCI. 
And you know what they did? 

1025
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:22,880
They chose to come to service. 
They didn't have to. 

1026
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:27,120
They weren't forced. 
But they made a choice. 

1027
01:13:27,480 --> 01:13:34,200
And then they chose to entertain
the words of God and live like 

1028
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:38,040
God in prison. 
And then when they got out, they

1029
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:44,080
chose to stay with him. 
And every day they choose. 

1030
01:13:48,480 --> 01:13:54,560
But there's others in that same 
prison that didn't take the 

1031
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:58,040
invite because if I had them 
stand up and say, did you invite

1032
01:13:58,040 --> 01:13:59,600
anybody to come to service? 
When? 

1033
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,560
Anchor Face showed up. 
I'm telling you, it'd be 100% 

1034
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:07,800
that they'll say I did. 
Was there some that didn't come?

1035
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:12,000
They didn't. 
So of their own free will, a 

1036
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:16,160
place that spoke the word 
rightly divided, and could have 

1037
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,000
set them free. 
Of their own free will they 

1038
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:20,040
chose. 
But when they stand. 

1039
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:21,400
Before the Lord, the Lord would 
say. 

1040
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:25,600
Didn't I send you so and so? 
Didn't he invite you? 

1041
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:34,280
You had the power the whole 
time. 

1042
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:42,480
It wasn't the system. 
It wasn't your upbringing, It 

1043
01:14:42,480 --> 01:14:47,520
wasn't your crime. 
Because even in prison I came to

1044
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:53,840
you, there's not a place that 
God doesn't go to. 

1045
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:03,520
God was so meticulous with this 
guys that Romans one tells us. 

1046
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:09,320
By nature, people know that 
there's God. 

1047
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:19,560
Wow. 
The Bible tells us. 

1048
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:21,880
In the night in which Jesus was 
betrayed, he was with his 

1049
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:28,160
disciples at least eleven of 
them, because one left to betray

1050
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:36,120
him, one took it upon himself to
do the will of the devil and 

1051
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:45,040
betrayed Jesus for money. 
Yeah, Jesus didn't make him. 

1052
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:50,400
This is his choice. 
Even after the miracle signs and

1053
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:56,600
wonders, he's still with his own
willpower, chose to betray 

1054
01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:02,040
Jesus. 
But the 11, he said this bread 

1055
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:04,200
represents my body. 
It's going to be broken for you 

1056
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:08,840
because ultimately it's going to
enact a covenant of healing in 

1057
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:15,680
your life so that you can be 
healthy and whole in my Kingdom,

1058
01:16:16,440 --> 01:16:22,000
so that your body can stay 
healthy to house your spirit and

1059
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:26,120
my spirit and your soul to 
fulfill the will of God for your

1060
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:29,960
life. 
And then he raised the cup and 

1061
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:33,400
said, this cup is my blood. 
It represents the covenant of 

1062
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:38,360
and blood where I'm going to 
shed my blood for the remission 

1063
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:40,120
of sin. 
It's going to be the payment to 

1064
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:44,040
redeem you, because without the 
shedding of blood, there is no 

1065
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:47,040
forgiveness. 
I'm going to take on all your 

1066
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:49,960
sin. 
I'm going to take on all your 

1067
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,680
hurt. 
I'm going to take all on all 

1068
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:55,520
your injustice. 
I'm going to take it all on all 

1069
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:59,200
your problems. 
And in return, I'm going to give

1070
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,320
you my righteousness. 
But you'll have to choose. 

1071
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:10,400
And so they broke the bread and 
they ate and they drank the cup.

1072
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:13,280
And he says, And often, as you 
do this, do this in remembrance 

1073
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:20,040
of me of his death, the ultimate
price that Jesus said, not my 

1074
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:29,440
will, but your will be done. 
And I'm so glad Jesus sided with

1075
01:17:29,440 --> 01:17:34,920
the Father, because he's given 
me life and he set me free. 

1076
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:41,000
Father, I thank you, Lord, for 
the communion today, for the 

1077
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:45,400
bread and for the cup, for the 
covenant of healing and the 

1078
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:49,920
covenant of salvation, the 
covenant of the Kingdom, that we

1079
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:51,680
get all the benefits of the 
Kingdom. 

1080
01:17:52,480 --> 01:17:55,240
That we can have the Kingdom 
manifest here because you want 

1081
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:59,360
your will to be done on the 
earth as it is in heaven and you

1082
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:03,280
can't through us because you've 
given us the power to choose 

1083
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:08,560
life and we choose it in Jesus 
name. 

1084
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:20,660
Break the bread and take it 
and take the cup 

1085
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:47,680
if you don't learn anything 
today. 

1086
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:59,300
But this, when it comes to 
humanity, us creating the image 

1087
01:18:59,300 --> 01:19:09,420
of God, is that the devil 
attacked man when he knew God 

1088
01:19:09,700 --> 01:19:18,160
and was liking the most. 
He's never satisfied in any 

1089
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:23,160
covenant that you would side 
with his will, and he'll always 

1090
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:29,040
come after you, and he's always 
going to use things to try to 

1091
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:32,960
get your will to side with one 
of his thoughts, even if it 

1092
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:36,600
means using scripture out of 
context. 

1093
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,800
That's why doctrines of demons 
and seducing spirits are going 

1094
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:48,040
to prevail in the end, because 
people don't know the word, but 

1095
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:52,240
it will still be their power 
that does this. 

1096
01:19:54,960 --> 01:20:02,400
If any thought brings division, 
you should cast it down, because

1097
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:06,200
this is what Jesus is coming 
back for the Church. 

1098
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:11,840
And if anything's trying to get 
you out of the church, know that

1099
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:14,760
that is not the voice of God, 
even if it's using scripture.
