1 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,560 So turn over to Second Timothy chapter 2, verses 11 to 13. 2 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,720 Say not denied. Come on, say not denied. 3 00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:28,280 We're going to talk about the word of the king today. 4 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,520 Second Timothy 211 to 13 says this and there's a lot we can 5 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,160 mine out just in this verse. I'm going to focus on the 13th 6 00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:39,840 verse, but it says it is a trustworthy statement for if we 7 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,680 died with him, we will also live with him. 8 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,880 Verse 12. Now let me just let me back up 9 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,160 one minute. There's a 2 letter word in here 10 00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:01,360 called if, if it's a conditional statement, all right, that means 11 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,239 you must meet the condition in order for the latter to happen. 12 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:08,320 So when it says if that's a condition and that condition is 13 00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:13,680 predicated on us. So if we died with him, then 14 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,800 what's the result? We will also live with him. 15 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,320 But if you've not died with him, then you're not living with him. 16 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,080 Verse 12, if we endure. So endurance is necessary. 17 00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:31,280 That tells us that just asking Jesus to be Lord of our lives, 18 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,800 or as it's typically portrayed, to come into our heart and save 19 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:41,400 us is not an enduring event. That is a one time confession. 20 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,480 So something else takes place once you're born again, there's 21 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:51,000 an endurance you must endure. So if we endure, then what will 22 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,560 take place? We will also reign with Him, 23 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,080 which tells us you can die with Him and live but not reign. 24 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,080 In order to reign in life, you're going to have to endure. 25 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,560 I'm going to say that again. In order to reign in this life, 26 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,400 you must endure. Unfortunately, most people are 27 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:16,080 dying with Him, acknowledging their sin state that they need a 28 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,000 Savior and they confess Jesus as Lord so that they come alive, 29 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:27,400 but yet they do not endure in this earth with the Word in 30 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,680 order for the word to reign with them in this life. 31 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,920 We always see this as a future, but you understand, you can 32 00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:40,880 reign now, all right. It says if condition we deny 33 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:48,280 Him, He also will deny us. So if we don't deny Him, then 34 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,480 guess what? He's not going to deny us. 35 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,040 If we do not deny Him, He is not going to deny us. 36 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,440 Now, most of the time, this particular passage of Scripture, 37 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:08,000 this one statement is set solely with the lost, that if the lost 38 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,840 deny him, he'll deny. But it's not just in the lost 39 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,360 because a believer can deny him. And I'm going to show you why 40 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:22,200 here in a minute, because we have taken Jesus and only placed 41 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,200 him in one late, one particular category. 42 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:31,960 Although his name is Jesus, he is something else prior to the 43 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,560 name Jesus. Jesus is his name because God 44 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:42,360 had to send His Son in the form of a man to regain the dominion 45 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:48,320 that Adam lost. Yet he's always been a son and 46 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:54,960 he also serves another purpose within the Godhead, that if you 47 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,680 deny that it will be denied you. Y'all right? 48 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,560 I know I'm speaking a little, you know, in mystery, but it'll 49 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,560 be revealed here in a second verse 13. 50 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:17,519 If we are faith less, if we are faith, He remains what? 51 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,760 Faithful. Why? 52 00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:28,640 For he cannot deny himself, He cannot deny himself. 53 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:36,600 I said he cannot deny himself, he cannot deny himself. 54 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:43,560 So if we are faithless, he remains faithful. 55 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,200 Now, a lot of times this particular Scripture is kind of 56 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,480 kicked off in this type of interpretation. 57 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,120 I'm probably going to question that a little bit, But it says, 58 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,040 you know, if we are faithless, like if we aren't believing God, 59 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,160 God will still be faithful and do it for us to spite us. 60 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,600 So at this point, then why even live by faith? 61 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,440 Why is there a requirement to live by faith? 62 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,560 Because he'll do it anyway, whether we're in faith or not, 63 00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:17,360 based upon our lives. Well, you know, if God, because 64 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,760 this is where sovereignty kicks in, in air. 65 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,800 Well, God's sovereign, he's going to do what he wants to do, 66 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,360 how he wants to do it. And so you understand, whether 67 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,760 you believe or not, God's going to do it for you anyway. 68 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,360 So even if we're faithless, God's faithful to do it for you 69 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,000 anyway. And you'll get the result of it, 70 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,840 period. But that's not what that 71 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:46,160 Scripture means. I said it's not what it means. 72 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,160 And so let's look at a couple of the translations of 13 before we 73 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,120 break this verse down. The Young's little translation 74 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,520 says it this way. If we are not steadfast, he 75 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,040 remains steadfast to deny himself. 76 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:11,160 He is not able to deny himself. He is what He's not able. 77 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,320 He cannot deny himself. The word cannot means this. 78 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:27,800 No power or ability to be unable or incapable of. 79 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:35,040 So we are finding one of the things God cannot do. 80 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,640 Oh wow, I thought I'd have had a better response here. 81 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:48,240 OK, I expect that on YouTube this is one of the things God 82 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,120 cannot do. See this is the problem with the 83 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:58,760 the air of sovereignty is that we don't understand sovereignty 84 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,040 from a Kingdom perspective. We only understand sovereignty 85 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,880 from a religious perspective. Religion teaches us sovereignty 86 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,040 is God's in control of everything. 87 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,680 This is why so many people stay lost because they are perplexed 88 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,000 how in the world if he is a God of love and he's sovereign and 89 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,600 in control of everything, why is there raping, murdering and all 90 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,160 these things? Because now we have associated 91 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,680 that God is controlling those things. 92 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,800 And that's not true. God is not controlling, nor is 93 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:38,840 he allowing. There is an enemy that does 94 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,520 these things, and because men are separated from God, this is 95 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,040 the result of their behavior and their actions that are contrary 96 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,800 to the behavior and nature of God. 97 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,200 God is not controlling that, nor is He authorizing that, nor is 98 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,520 He condoning that, nor is He in control of that. 99 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,160 So religious sovereignty has it where God is controlling 100 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,360 everything. This is why Christians take up 101 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,480 this banter that, you know, well, you know, whatever God 102 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,280 wants to do, it'll do because you know, he's sovereign. 103 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,360 Well, why pray you understand some of these thinkings? 104 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,600 Because we have lost critical thinking. 105 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,880 We have really. And when we say critical 106 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,000 thinking, that's really a word, word term. 107 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,800 Let me give you a biblical term. Because we quit seeking first 108 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,800 the Kingdom and His righteousness. 109 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,400 See, when you begin to seek God, you can't help but ask questions 110 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,880 and say, now Lord, do you mean that? 111 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,280 What does this mean? And you're not questioning God. 112 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:46,040 You are seeking God and His way of doing, processing and 113 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,800 thinking. His ways are higher than our 114 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,640 ways. His thoughts are higher than our 115 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,400 thoughts, but they're not unobtainable. 116 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,400 They can be found. God wants us to seek Him to be 117 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,520 found. He wants us to not so He can 118 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,560 open. He wants us to ask so He can 119 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,920 give, so we can receive, not so that He can keep dangling A 120 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,920 revelation that you can never come to a truth. 121 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,280 God is not withholding truth. He is revealing truth to the 122 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,960 seeker. Because God does not violate His 123 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,320 own word, He would never cast His pearls before the swan. 124 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,040 God is not casting revelation to you for you to chew it up and 125 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,800 eat it for your own personal pleasures. 126 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,120 All right, Amen. This is really a great good 127 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,640 stuff we're talking here. So he cannot. 128 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,680 God does not have this power. This is one of the things God 129 00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:52,000 cannot do. The next word is deny. 130 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:59,360 Deny means to contradict, to reject, to abnegate, to refuse. 131 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:08,000 So God has no ability to reject himself. 132 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:18,800 God is powerless to refuse himself. 133 00:10:24,370 --> 00:10:29,960 So Jameson Fawcett Brown biblical scholars and their 134 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,560 commentary said this. Three things are impossible to 135 00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:37,000 God, and I don't think you're going to disagree with this. 136 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,840 Number one, it's impossible for God to die. 137 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:50,320 God cannot die, Amen. He's eternal. 138 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,240 He's not going to die. He cannot be separated from 139 00:10:53,240 --> 00:11:00,640 himself #2HE cannot lie, can't do it. 140 00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:04,640 And the last thing is he cannot be deceived. 141 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,680 God cannot be deceived. We have been deceived. 142 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:17,040 We have walked in a life of deception, but God has never 143 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,200 been deceived, and I don't know why. 144 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,080 Why the lost think they can deceive God? 145 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,800 Nor do I understand why a born again believer thinks they can 146 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:34,920 deceive God as well. God knows it all. 147 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,440 He knows the heart. He knows the secrets of man. 148 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,400 There is nothing that's hidden, but he cannot be deceived. 149 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,200 You can pray the most eloquent prayer and be over and praying 150 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,600 in the Spirit all the while. God knows what's going on in 151 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,280 your heart. You can say the most eloquent 152 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,920 scriptural things and God can say I would love to do for you. 153 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:06,800 However, I need you to do this. There are many scriptures that 154 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,400 talk about how prayers are hindered, yet we think just 155 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,840 because we pray God's obligated to answer. 156 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,920 Yet the Bible has a lot to say about God not listening. 157 00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:24,000 But we've a lot of us have been religiously taught that if we 158 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,840 say any prayer, God is listening. 159 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,080 Yet there are many accounts where God doesn't hear the 160 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:35,400 prayers and does not answer them. 161 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:42,400 And This is why corporate prayer services are as small as they 162 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:49,480 are because we have a religious sovereignty mentality that then 163 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,720 we take into our prayer life with God and when the answer 164 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,200 doesn't come, we humanize the Lord. 165 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,720 I'm hoping this week is going to allow me to launch into God is 166 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,160 not a man. They go on to say the 167 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,320 impossibility is not one of infirmity, but of infinite power 168 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,600 and majesty. Also indirectly, comfort is 169 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,000 suggested to the believer that he is faithful to his promise to 170 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,120 them. At the same time that apostates 171 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:30,760 are shaken out of their self deceiving fancy fancy that 172 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,680 because they change, this is their thinking. 173 00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:40,040 Christ similarly may change, but he warns Timothy to be steadfast 174 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,440 in faith. In essence he's saying God is 175 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:50,560 not the change we are. God is not wishy washy with his 176 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:56,360 words. We are because John come on 1/1 177 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,680 we call him Jesus. But long before he was given the 178 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:08,720 human name Jesus, Jesus in Spanish John 11 says in the 179 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:14,040 beginning was the was the what was the word and the word was 180 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,560 with God and the word was God verse 14 and the word became 181 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,520 what's his name? Come on, what's his name? 182 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,560 So before he was given the name Jesus through the Virgin Mary 183 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,960 who was married to Joseph the Son of God is known as the word. 184 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:40,120 This is why he cannot deny himself, because God cannot deny 185 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:48,520 a word he has spoken. It is impossible for God to 186 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:54,240 refuse his own word. It is impossible for God to say 187 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,600 a word and then say, oh not you know what? 188 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,840 I'm not going to keep that. It's impossible. 189 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,920 God keeps his word. I said God keeps his word. 190 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:12,560 God never fails to keep His word. 191 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,520 Look what it says here in Isaiah 4610 to 11. 192 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,560 It says declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient 193 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,360 times things which have not been done. 194 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,240 Saying My purpose will be established and I will 195 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,080 accomplish all my good pleasure. Calling a bird of prey from the 196 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,440 East, the man of my purpose from a far country. 197 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,480 Truly I have what spoken. Truly I will bring it to pass. 198 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,840 I have planned it. Surely I'll do it now. 199 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:49,720 This scripture does not mean that what he intends for you, 200 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:55,680 you will do. What it does mean is God did his 201 00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:01,080 part so that you are at. You have no excuse not to do 202 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:09,400 your part. You're without excuse not to do 203 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,280 your part. Again, if we can't continue to 204 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,320 keep this religious mindset of sovereignty that God's in 205 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,920 control, do whatever he wants to do, then it would be very 206 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,520 difficult for us to be able to believe that anyone could be 207 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:28,720 cast into the lake of fire. However they will be. 208 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:35,200 So the Bible's very clear. There is a God side, but there 209 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,680 is also His creation side and of His creation side that has been 210 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,840 given free will. They have the responsibility to 211 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:52,240 yield and submit their will to the One who cannot lie, to the 212 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:57,520 one that is life. Are you hearing me now? 213 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:03,200 We know that there's an at some point the angelic realm rebelled 214 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:09,599 against that word, and God did not deny himself, meaning what 215 00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:13,480 He said would occur. If someone goes against His 216 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:19,000 word, the action would happen. And we do not have the back 217 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,319 story of that whole thing. We just know rebellion happened, 218 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,480 that this one anointed cherub convinced others that we're 219 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,800 going to take over the throne, we're going to overthrow the 220 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,360 Creator. However, the Creator has spoken 221 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,880 and he cannot be overthrown. Man, I should get you. 222 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,600 Like just running. I mean that one statement of law 223 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,800 should make a Pentecostal church shout that King Jesus King the 224 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,920 Father can never ever be overthrown. 225 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:58,200 Wow, never overthrown and what God says He does so when He 226 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,680 creates the heavens and the earth and then we get over into 227 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,720 this earth, He's created in a way so that he places a man in 228 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:13,640 his likeness in his image to have the dominion on the earth 229 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,400 as he has in heaven. He speaks it into existence. 230 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,360 He said let us make man in our image according to our likeness 231 00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:25,320 and let them rule, have dominion like we do here in heaven. 232 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,160 He'll have on earth. I'm authorizing him to function 233 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,760 that way as long as he is hearing my words and obeying 234 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,480 them. And he said, this Son, you can 235 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,520 eat from any tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge 236 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,400 of good and evil you shall. Now this lets us know that God's 237 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,920 Word reigns supreme in every part of His creation. 238 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:50,080 Although He gave Him rule, man, rulership to administrate, 239 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,720 dominion or rule on the earth, it was still at the 240 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,920 authorization of God the Father who resided in heaven. 241 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,080 Adam as a ruler could not just eat any tree he wants to. 242 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,200 He's eating what has been authorized from heaven's will. 243 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,200 This is why Jesus said, Now when you pray, pray this way, our 244 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,840 Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, your 245 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,720 Kingdom, your will be on as it is. 246 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,360 Earth's Kingdom cannot reflect heaven's Kingdom without the 247 00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:28,560 will of heaven. That's right. 248 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,760 So Adam cannot function or have heaven's will or God's Kingdom 249 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,360 in the earth unless he has the will of heaven, because the will 250 00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:40,200 of heaven is the will of the king. 251 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,880 And as the will of the king is, so goes the Kingdom. 252 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,480 That's right. So he says, Son, you can eat 253 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,520 from any tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of 254 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,800 good and evil you shall not eat, for the day you eat you will. 255 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,240 Surely. I have spoken. 256 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,920 I have spoken now is it, is it God's will that man would die? 257 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,800 No, God didn't say let us make man in our image according to 258 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,040 our likeness. Let them rule Adam. 259 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,760 You can eat from any tree of the garden, but if the tree of the 260 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,280 knowledge of good and evil, I will for some of you to die. 261 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,000 No, don't eat it. And again, we've said this 262 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,920 before, if Adam is created out of the love of God and is of the 263 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,120 nature of God. Adam had to do more than just 264 00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:29,120 say I love you. His love is demonstrated through 265 00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:33,600 his obedience and he obeyed. As long as he obeys, there's a 266 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:39,680 connection. But the minute he disobeys, now 267 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,760 what did the enemy do? He came in and says, what has 268 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:49,440 God said? Because he knows this. 269 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,560 He knows this better than Adam and Eve. 270 00:20:53,960 --> 00:21:01,680 He cannot deny himself. He will not deny his word. 271 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,800 What he has said, what he has spoken, he'll bring. 272 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,000 It'll come to pass. So he says, what does he said? 273 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,400 She recounts it. And then he says you're not 274 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,360 going to die. There's the deception, there's 275 00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:19,920 the lie. Now a lying and deception are 276 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,320 hand in hand. In order for you to be deceived, 277 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,520 you have or to walk in deception, you have to accept a 278 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,200 lie. And there are many believers 279 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,960 that are born again that live under deception because they 280 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:37,640 accept lies. They're hand in hand. 281 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,200 I said they're hand in hand. They're hand in hand. 282 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,120 The men, you accept a lie, you're going to walk over in 283 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:48,880 deception. So he he gives them a deceptive 284 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,920 plan. That sounds better, but this 285 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,280 root is just a lie. And why is a lie? 286 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:59,400 Because he now has truth. Truth is do not do this or this 287 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,920 will occur. And he says God's not going to 288 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:09,560 do what he said he would do. God will not do what he says he 289 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:15,400 will do. Now if this is how we in our 290 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,080 modern day Christianity are living a relationship with the 291 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:24,120 Lord, we're in trouble and we hear it all the time. 292 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,000 Well, you know, the Lord may heal you, but he may not. 293 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:36,000 Now that's not coming from heaven, you know, because sister 294 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,200 so and so, aunt such and such, you know, Uncle so and so, my 295 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:46,360 Mama, love God and believe. But she received something 296 00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:54,560 contrary to what God said. And now God isn't who he says he 297 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,760 is. God is who you say he is. 298 00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:02,280 So when God in the beginning said let's make man in our 299 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:08,680 image, He is obligated to not to deny that opportunity. 300 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:15,040 Even after Adam eats the fruit. And all now are subject to 301 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,600 eternal separation, for all have sinned and fallen short of the 302 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,360 glory of God. Even if the Lord knew no one 303 00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:25,960 will ever receive the forgiveness I have given them 304 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,880 through my Son Jesus, I still must send him because I cannot 305 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,240 deny my word concerning that opportunity. 306 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:42,600 Hallelujah. Now talking about love, God so 307 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:48,600 passionate to see his word fulfilled by every T cross and 308 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:56,560 every I dotted that he is willing to send himself before 309 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,840 he even speaks man into existence because he said the 310 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,880 lamb was slain before the foundations of the world. 311 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,360 So he already knows Adam's going to eat. 312 00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:11,880 Keeping a tree out doesn't save men. 313 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,680 That's right. Come on. 314 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,400 This is why, because God's life, when it's all said and done 315 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:27,800 everything we'll know I keep my word. 316 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,000 Now the problem with today's religion is that when you say 317 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,720 keep the word, they think of legalism, you know, and works 318 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,080 and all that kind of stuff. Well that's just religious 319 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:46,720 garbage that we've been taught. The reality is it's always about 320 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:52,520 your free will acknowledgement, but that's not without something 321 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,640 you're doing yourself, meaning you're involved in the process. 322 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:06,320 I don't earn God, I receive him based upon his instruction. 323 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:14,080 So when I do what God says, He can't deny me because He cannot 324 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,080 deny Himself. This is why I can boldly go 325 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,800 before the throne of grace and have confidence when approaching 326 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,720 Him, knowing that if I ask anything according to His will, 327 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,720 He hears me because He always hears His own word. 328 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:34,280 So He's not doing for me based upon me, He's doing for me based 329 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:39,440 upon what He said about me. And why am I arguing with the 330 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,960 father saying I don't deserve to be who you say I am? 331 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,040 He's like, that's not the issue, I said. 332 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:52,080 And I just cannot deny myself, can't do it. 333 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,600 This is what I desire is to have man in my image according to my 334 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,080 likeness, to have dominion, to rule and reign with me. 335 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,920 And that's what I want. Say it about you, but if you'll 336 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,280 meet it, if you'll do what I say, if you'll get up in faith, 337 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,600 if you'll believe me at my word, if you'll recognize that I 338 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,000 always keep my word. So by faith you're really just 339 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,160 receiving all that He has already accomplished. 340 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:24,240 Wow. And He never fails to keep His 341 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,600 word. Hebrews 617 and 18 says this in 342 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,840 the same way. God desiring more, even more, to 343 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,680 show to the heirs of the promise of the unchangeableness of His 344 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:42,080 purpose, interposed with an oath, so that by two 345 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:48,720 unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we 346 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,560 who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take 347 00:26:52,560 --> 00:27:02,200 hold of the hopes set before us. Man, Hallelujah, thank you 348 00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:08,160 Jesus, Hallelujah, God is unchangeable. 349 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,800 Now I know there are passages in Scripture, and again, the 350 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:19,240 religious mind runs through those to try to justify things 351 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:26,480 that that happen because we, for whatever reason, do not want a 352 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,680 person to feel bad because they're not firmly persuaded of 353 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:40,800 His word. And so we act like God to 354 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:50,320 change, and then we'll invoke Scripture like, well, the Lord 355 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:55,240 went to Hezekiah the king through the prophet and says, 356 00:27:55,320 --> 00:28:00,120 get your house in order, you're going to die, right? 357 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,120 What did Hezekiah do? Hezekiah then as a king took and 358 00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:07,400 threw out stuff all over the bed. 359 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,480 The word that God has spoken concerning things, His own word 360 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,680 is what he did and he began to entreat the Lord based upon 361 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,640 legislative amendments. I'm going to use it that term 362 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:29,080 because when God, because Hezekiah is in the law of Moses 363 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,560 and the law of Moses reads like this. 364 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,960 Just read Deuteronomy if that's how it reads. 365 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,320 If you obey me, if you'll do this, that and the other, I'll 366 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,120 do all these things. Then it drops down and says, but 367 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,920 if you don't, then all these things are incur will occur. 368 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,320 But then he goes on. He has writings like this. 369 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:58,360 If my people rebel against me, yet at some point turn, repent, 370 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:05,800 cry out to me with their heart out here and I'll I'll invoke an 371 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,280 amendment. There's another. 372 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,480 I'll pull them off that path and put them on another path. 373 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:19,080 They will determine which path will develop in their lives. 374 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,840 Now here's the thing. God plays pays the price for 375 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,760 both paths. I just want you to know that God 376 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,920 has paid the path of death because Jesus took on our sin. 377 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,720 He died for us. He took on our transgressions. 378 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,240 So everything ever wrong ever done, every wrong thing King 379 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,800 Hezekiah ever did that required the payment of death, Jesus is 380 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,240 going to pay the price. It's not going away. 381 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:51,040 It's not under a rug. It's going to be paid for and 382 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,880 that word concerning it has to be met. 383 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:59,000 Jesus met that because God cannot deny that word, cannot 384 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,360 deny it. So he'll make the payment and 385 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,040 it's the blood of Jesus, glory to God. 386 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,520 So during that dispensation, you could come off that line and be 387 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,000 back on a line of blessing. But he also said, if you're 388 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,880 blessed, but then you go away from me, you begin to worship 389 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,000 the gods of the land and you begin to forget, then it drops 390 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,240 down. So you understand in the nation 391 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,200 of Israel, they were like up and down on this. 392 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,680 Now God's long-suffering as well. 393 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,720 But that doesn't mean, because eventually we know when Jeremiah 394 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,560 shows up, he says nobody's going to repent, Tell them they should 395 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,560 repent, but no one's going to. And they're going to Babylon, 396 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,960 period. The rest of these prophets that 397 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,040 are saying they're not going to be, it's going to be OK. 398 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,200 They're a bunch of liars. They're listening to deceiving 399 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,160 spirits. They are going, they are going 400 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:50,720 to be conquered. Did they get conquered? 401 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,360 But didn't God say they would be conquered if they kept those 402 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,040 actions absent? Because God always keeps his 403 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,880 word. So when Hezekiah threw out his 404 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:06,680 appeal, he invoked God's word of what I will do to one who will 405 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,280 repent. But here's the thing, God 406 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,960 actually did not change his mind concerning Hezekiah. 407 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:20,080 He just delayed. When he would leave, he said, 408 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:27,080 I'll give you 15 more years. OK, Same thing. 409 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:33,200 Moses Lord, I know you want to kill everybody out here because 410 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,320 they're stubborn, stiff neck. They saw all the miracles you 411 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,440 did in Egypt. My gosh. 412 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,160 And here we are in the wilderness there wine bag 413 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,400 complaining. I understand this is horrible. 414 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,320 I just move out of the way. I'll start a whole nother nation 415 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,960 with you no problem. And why does he know this? 416 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,680 Because he knows the end from the beginning. 417 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,960 He already knows their heart and He's righteous and He's already 418 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,040 displayed His goodness to them by delivering out of a whole 419 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,880 name. They have had enough evidence to 420 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:07,440 act this way is punishable. But Moses throws up this 421 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,800 thought. It's really ain't about them. 422 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,800 It's about these other nations. Because we sure don't want the 423 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,800 testimony that you brought them out just to kill them. 424 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,680 Well, now obviously the Lord wouldn't want that testimony 425 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,440 either, right? Because what testimony he is 426 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,960 leaving with those nations. And we know there's a testimony 427 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,760 because Rahab the harlot knew to testimony 40 years later. 428 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,160 We have been afraid of you because we know what you, what 429 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,120 your God did in Egypt. So the Lord didn't change his 430 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,680 mind. The Lord delayed or says I'll do 431 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,000 what I said. I'll just take 40 years 432 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,640 according to your request instead of ending it now. 433 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,680 Now Moses looking back may have thought probably should let him 434 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,520 do that. Now you say why that? 435 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:08,040 Because that congregation for 40 years was such a thorn in his 436 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:13,000 flesh that one day God said go speak to the rock. 437 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:21,840 And Moses was so just like I am fed up with them man, that what 438 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,200 once worked as a word of the Lord hit the rock and it 439 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,280 remained blessed. He hit the rock twice. 440 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,520 Water still flowed, but it was against God's word and it cost 441 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,800 him the promised land. And let me tell you, God keeps 442 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:44,600 what he says because Moses begged him and he shows him the 443 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,560 whole land on a mountain one day and he says, see this, this is 444 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,360 where they're going. I'm giving you permission to 445 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:54,960 see, he said, but don't you ever talk to me again about going in. 446 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,000 I'm not changing my mind. You dishonored me and did not 447 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,840 treat me wholly in front of the congregation. 448 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:12,480 But what we do now in grace is we let God be a mind changer. 449 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,360 Because of the grace of God, we act like God could say one thing 450 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,960 to us. And believers do it all the 451 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,000 time. The Lord called me to this 452 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,360 church. Well, then he calls you out of 453 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,520 the church. I mean, six months later. 454 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:34,400 Wow, that's interesting. Wow, right. 455 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,400 I mean, there's all kinds of things, you know, you believe 456 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,120 God till the first trial comes. So I love what Pastor Darryl 457 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,480 Huffman says. He said when I made Jesus Lord, 458 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,960 it was for life forever, forever. 459 00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:52,960 The first offense, the first issue, the first conflict, the 460 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,840 first run in with someone, the first time you get corrected by 461 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:02,000 your spiritual overseers. I can't tell you how many people 462 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,120 have come up to me through the years and talk about how 463 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,680 anointed the services are only to blast me on Instagram, you 464 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,680 know, years later, this craziest thing you've ever seen in your 465 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,880 life. Why? 466 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,720 Because they say they're hearing from God, yet they're acting 467 00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:21,360 like God could change his mind concerning things all the time. 468 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,120 God is not that God. First of all, God is not bipolar 469 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,320 because God is not a man. He's not bipolar. 470 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,600 Yeah, it's a T-shirt. Yeah, my King's not bipolar. 471 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,280 He does what he says. Hallelujah. 472 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,480 Hallelujah. You understand. 473 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,480 You have to let this get seared in your mind, because when you 474 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,120 have the firm persuasion, my God will do what he says, you 475 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,600 understand, Then nothing will ever take you off your faith. 476 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,760 Nothing. No one can pull you from your 477 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,600 purpose. No one can stop you from your 478 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,840 destiny because you know what God has said concerning me and 479 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,360 His church is going to come to pass Hallelujah. 480 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,880 Titus 1-2 says this in the hope of eternal life, which God, who 481 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:21,440 cannot lie, promised long ago. Here's 2 scriptures that led us. 482 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,640 So he doesn't lie. So he doesn't lie. 483 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:31,720 If he says you're healed, if he says you're, you're, you have 484 00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:35,120 favor. If he says you prosper. 485 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,520 I mean, if he says that you can have the mind of Christ, and I'm 486 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:47,400 just throwing out general out of general, yes, general statements 487 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,840 right now. If he says that the fruits of 488 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:55,520 the Spirit are in you, then you can't tell me that your family 489 00:36:55,520 --> 00:37:00,920 has a long line of having a short temper, 'cause my family 490 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,360 does not. That's the problem. 491 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,320 You keep associating yourself with a natural family and then 492 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,040 you put it on a God that's supernatural and you try to make 493 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,240 him natural, but God's not a man. 494 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,600 God raise you up out of just the natural. 495 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:24,040 He says you got a new bloodline and your Father in heaven has 496 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:29,160 never lost his temper unrighteously. 497 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,640 Your Father in heaven has never had in his DNA cancer. 498 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,720 He's never had depression. I, I mean, I'm blown away at 499 00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:44,080 believers talking about their depression and their anxiety 500 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,760 while you're doing this, identifying with your flesh. 501 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,280 God has stripped it, whipped it, taking it off. 502 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,640 He has pulled it away. He said, I've conquered it. 503 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,760 I've conquered a grave, I've conquered death, hell in the 504 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,800 grave. I've conquered sin, I've 505 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,160 conquered depression, anxiety. Why are you letting it on you? 506 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,880 Why would you let it on you, 'cause God said the joy of the 507 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:15,200 Lord is your stream. That's joy every morning, every 508 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,960 morning. Don't live another day 509 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:25,120 depressed. You don't have to 'cause when 510 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:30,520 you know that God can't lie concerning that, all you have to 511 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,680 do is believe you didn't earn the joy. 512 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,080 He paid the price. So you could have the joy just 513 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,440 by faith you but you have to receive it by faith. 514 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:44,120 You have to exercise it. You have to say, no, I'm not 515 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,800 going to be depressed today. No, I'm going to rejoice in the 516 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,640 Lord. I mean, what did Paul say? 517 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:53,240 Rejoice in the Lord. And again, I say always rejoice. 518 00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:58,600 Hallelujah. But what is the modern day 519 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,160 church doing? The modern day church is, yeah. 520 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,240 But the truth is, I know people are going through things and we 521 00:39:05,240 --> 00:39:07,760 don't want to see. You're supposed to raise them up 522 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:12,720 to the culture of the Kingdom, not try to bring God down to 523 00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:18,720 identify with them. Jesus did not come to identify 524 00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:23,280 with you. Jesus has been tempted on 525 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:30,840 accounts like you so he can sympathize with your weaknesses, 526 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:36,040 but the only reason he came that way is because Adam lost the 527 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:42,800 dominion as a man so it requires man to get it back and God did 528 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,280 it through Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. 529 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,120 Hallelujah Jesus. I never heard Jesus say to his 530 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,240 disciples. I'm really depressed right now. 531 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,960 Now, that doesn't mean he wasn't weighed down. 532 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,160 He said. He was tempted on all accounts. 533 00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:01,320 He was tempted to have anxiety. He was tempted to have fear. 534 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:06,080 He was tempted to be depressed. He was tempted to worry. 535 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,400 But he didn't. He cast it down. 536 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:14,480 He obeyed his father. He stayed in the nature of God. 537 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:19,080 Although he lived in a skin suit, he overcame. 538 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,080 And you know what we're called? We're called. 539 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,280 Oh, they're preaching that little God. 540 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,760 Your bet we are. We are sons of. 541 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,800 Yeah, I'm a child of. I was created by. 542 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,280 Yeah, I'm not God, but I am his child. 543 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:42,480 I do have his nature and his nature's are overcoming, 544 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,080 conquering. And my God said that I would 545 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,160 conquer. He said that I was more than a 546 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,320 conqueror. He said that I would triumph in 547 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,760 all things. God said that about me. 548 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,000 And by the grace of God, I'm going to conquer and win. 549 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,560 I'm not a loser. No more else. 550 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,640 Yeah, no more else. We ain't taking no else in this 551 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,800 house. Yeah, we ain't taking no else in 552 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,520 this house, people. No way. 553 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:16,080 No way. God never said, you loser, 554 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,360 aren't you glad? You just in the house, you 555 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,920 maggot of a man. Now he said, son, you have no 556 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,360 idea what it was that I ordained you for. 557 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,440 Get up out of that dark mess and get over here in the Kingdom. 558 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,000 I'll show you your work. I'll show you your power. 559 00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:34,080 I'll show you who you are as a child of God. 560 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,160 Whoa. Glory to God. 561 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:43,760 Yeah, see, This is why we stand up and shout because that's like 562 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,160 getting a touchdown in the fourth quarter. 563 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,040 And when in a game you can't stay, as you see, when you know 564 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,000 who you are and you know the victory that he has gotten for 565 00:41:53,000 --> 00:42:00,040 you, My goodness, Hallelujah. And let me give you a speed 566 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,320 round and we'll close First Samuel chapter 15, verse 29 just 567 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,840 to concrete the thoughts. And also the glory of Israel 568 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:15,560 will not lie nor repent, for he is not a man that he should 569 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,560 repent. The glory of Israel is God. 570 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,160 He will not lie nor repent. He doesn't have to change his 571 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:28,600 thinking because He thought before He spoke, because when he 572 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:34,000 speaks it comes to pass. Numbers 2319 says God is not a 573 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,800 man. Are we going to preach this 574 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,120 soon? I hope Sunday God is not a man 575 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,120 that he shall lie nor the Son of man that he should repent. 576 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,680 Has he said and will he not do it? 577 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:54,360 That is a rhetorical question. That is not like, yeah, I don't 578 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,120 know if he will. That's that's a rhetorical 579 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,800 question. It is absolutely he will do what 580 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:05,480 he said or has he spoken and will he not make it good? 581 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,400 The problem is, is that we are speaking things God's saying 582 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:21,120 without God's saying and and you cannot speak on behalf of God 583 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:25,400 and be outside of His word because God's will is His word. 584 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:32,360 You cannot listen to modern day Christian music and some of the 585 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,640 modern day praise songs. You cannot listen to it and it 586 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,920 and and and recite it and expect God to move because God's in 587 00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,600 some instances aren't moving at all. 588 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,880 You have to be in the word. All right, speed round. 589 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,000 I said, let's go to the next one. 590 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,360 Want to get you out of here. Isaiah 40 and verse 8. 591 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:58,080 The grass Withers, the flowers fade, but the word of our God 592 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,280 what for the word of our God, what man? 593 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,680 I'm trying to get this in your spirit because in the last days 594 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:10,840 were great deceptions coming in the last days where the the love 595 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:18,480 of many will wax cold that people will fall away from the 596 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,320 faith. Why? 597 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:25,040 Because they are actually not really believing that God does 598 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,720 what he says. They know he can. 599 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,600 Knowing he can do something is not firmly persuaded He will 600 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,320 only do what he says because the many of you are saying well God 601 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,480 can. You are setting it on a 602 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:41,720 condition and thinking it's not. It may not be applicable to you. 603 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:49,600 Healing is applicable to everyone, definitely the 604 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,120 believer, because even the laws can get access to it through 605 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:57,760 mercy so that God can show his compassion and to draw them, but 606 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,320 they cannot have it habitually. But a believer can walk in it. 607 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,520 Now you just can't slingshot and go up in there and grab 608 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,240 scripture and begin to not meditate on it and say, I'm 609 00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:12,320 going to use this one. You got to say now, Lord, what 610 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,920 is it that I because if you'll go to the Lord, Lord, I know 611 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,480 your scripture says this and I know it says this and I know I 612 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,320 can be healed and I know that the healing God is mine and it's 613 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,680 mine now and it's for me today and it's what I need to have. 614 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:23,640 And it's this, that and the other. 615 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,840 And you keep saying it and then you're saying, is there anything 616 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,840 I need to do so that these things are alive and come to 617 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,080 pass? And the end results is what you 618 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:32,760 say. And the Lord may say, change 619 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,760 this in your diet, quit drinking this, let go of that. 620 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,880 There could be a multiplicity of things that God could say in 621 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,360 your hearing that the minute you act on it, then you receive it. 622 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,800 For some, the reason why they do not have healing is because they 623 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:49,520 have unforgiveness. And you can go read all the diet 624 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,360 books you want to and quote all the healing scriptures you want 625 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,080 to. But the Lord knows your heart 626 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,160 and he's not deceiving. He says you got unforgiveness. 627 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,560 You need to go ask Him to forgive you. 628 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,160 If you don't do that, healing won't be yours because you're 629 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:07,560 not doing the word of the King. It's a hindrance. 630 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:16,040 He knows what hinders His word. Unbelief, ignorance, and your 631 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,560 failure to act on another word to release a word. 632 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,040 Are you hearing me? Last scripture Is this, Luke 633 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:28,200 2133, Heaven and earth. Now that doesn't mean it will 634 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,920 cease to exist. That means the sin that's 635 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:36,480 contained within the 1st and 2nd heavens and the earth, that'll 636 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:40,080 pass away because we'll have new heavens and a new earth. 637 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:54,520 But my words will not pass away. His word concerning the church 638 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,560 will not pass away, and His word concerning you will not pass 639 00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:04,160 away, and His word concerning you individually is for the 640 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:12,000 church. It's for the church, Hallelujah. 641 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:18,880 So he cannot deny himself. Every time I go to Scripture, I 642 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,080 said, now Lord, you have to do what you said. 643 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:23,560 You said you're making a demand on God. 644 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,800 I'm making a demand on his word because he tells me to do so. 645 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:32,680 And it pleases our Father that you come and bring his word back 646 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,120 to him. It pleases him. 647 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:36,640 He's like, that's it right there. 648 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,880 Now you talk in my language. Now you talk in my life. 649 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,160 Now you talk in my nature. Now you talking how we supposed 650 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,280 to function. That's right, that's right, 651 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,040 that's right, that's right. And then he says, let it be 652 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:51,160 according to your faith, Let it be according to your faith. 653 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,440 And all of a sudden that which once bound you was loose from 654 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,280 you, free from you, and you're walking in the fullness of God. 655 00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:03,680 Hallelujah, Hallelujah. He will always keep His word 656 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,160 concerning you and the Church.
