anchor Faith, Message podcast 

2
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:15,900
from st. 
Augustine Florida. 

3
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:23,600
Now, enjoy this message. 
Amen. 

4
00:00:23,700 --> 00:00:26,300
You have your Bible turn to 
Philippians chapter 1 and talk 

5
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:28,600
to you about gained tonight, 
right? 

6
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,300
IMA talk about gaining weight. 
All right? 

7
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:34,900
Don't let the Kingdom Life. 
You gain, right? 

8
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:38,200
You gain. 
It's always about increase. 

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,200
We have this saying that we say 
here at a church. 

10
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,700
Always advancing Siempre Amazon 
do that's in Spanish. 

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,100
All right. 
We're always advancing. 

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,600
We're game. 
We're making games all the time 

13
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,200
because you know, with the 
kingdom of God is always 

14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,100
increasing. 
Creasing is growing right now. 

15
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:58,800
We know the Bible says that the 
Gates of Hell grow wider, but 

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,700
don't think the kingdom is not 
growing either. 

17
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,000
Amen. 
And the kingdom is growing, and 

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,300
it's not only, is it growing in 
numbers, but more importantly, 

19
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:10,900
it's continually growing in as 
demonstration of power because 

20
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:13,100
the Kingdom's never lost his 
power. 

21
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:17,200
The kingdom has it. 
Although the Kingdom's 

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,000
expression has been Limited in 
the Earth because of sin but 

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,900
it's never lost his power. 
And if someone would dare to 

24
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:27,200
believe then all of Heavens 
power would show up in the 

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,800
planet. 
I mean, would you can you get 

26
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,300
that for a moment? 
I mean, just that mirror thought

27
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:36,500
on a law, makes me think. 
Wow, the only thing that stops 

28
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:40,700
the power of Heaven showing up 
is my belief. 

29
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:48,400
My ability to believe that's all
that stops. 

30
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,600
IT. 
And if I would believe, do the 

31
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,500
things that release unlock the 
kingdom, because there are 

32
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:57,900
things that unlock the Kingdom, 
right? 

33
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,200
We know the power to conquer 
Eternal separation from God. 

34
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:07,200
Is contained in the prayer of 
faith. 

35
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,600
In the prayer Faith, believe in 
your heart. 

36
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,300
Confess with your mouth. 
Jesus Christ is Lord, and that 

37
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:20,000
power. 
Has the ability to keep Eternal 

38
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,100
judgment to be thrown into the 
lake of fire away from you. 

39
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,100
Wow. 
And that amazing. 

40
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:32,000
And that same expression of 
belief in prayer, the prayer of 

41
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,900
faith. 
Okay. 

42
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,400
The prayer of faith me, I 
believe what God says. 

43
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,800
So I say it That it has the 
power to have that come to pass 

44
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,400
in our lives. 
How amazing is that right? 

45
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,000
Now we would just have to admit 
though that all of us get into 

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,800
these seasons of life where we 
are more confident, we are more 

47
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:02,400
aware conscious of what we're 
seeing than who we are in Christ

48
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,300
in the Unseen. 
And you know, when those Seasons

49
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:08,800
come, when those opportunities 
come, we have to arrest her. 

50
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,200
Ourselves and say, wait a 
minute, I just need to believe. 

51
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,700
I need to believe. 
I need to believe. 

52
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,900
All right. 
So with that being said, I want 

53
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:21,300
to look at this phrase that Paul
said in Philippians 1:21, this 

54
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:24,200
struck me today when I was 
reading it, y'all are really 

55
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,100
came to my spirit and then I 
went there. 

56
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:35,700
It says this for to me to live 
is Christ and to die is gain. 

57
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:43,100
Now in context, all right, in 
context literal context, Paul is

58
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:46,200
in prison, he's been thrown in 
jail and he is pinning the 

59
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,800
letter to the Philippians 
church. 

60
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,600
And the reason why he's having 
this, you know, letter to be 

61
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,600
written as because he's actually
received from this church and 

62
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,500
offering Finance. 
So caetano offering to his 

63
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:03,200
ministry but money to him. 
Personally that basically said 

64
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,200
Paul when you get out, here's 
resource for you too. 

65
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,200
Back to us and this is their way
of communicating Paul. 

66
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,500
We love you, we believe in you 
and we're bringing resource to 

67
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:15,300
you. 
Are you hearing me? 

68
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:17,700
Because that's what his fourth 
chapters about. 

69
00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:21,800
But prior to that, he's letting 
them know where he's at the 

70
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,800
position that he has been in. 
And that is, he's been in a 

71
00:04:25,808 --> 00:04:29,200
tough spot and it's caused him 
to contemplate. 

72
00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:34,900
Right contemplate. 
Now the Greek scholar. 

73
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:40,100
Rick Ritter who's an apostle in 
Moscow, his writing of the this 

74
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:43,700
particular context here in 
chapter 1, says history 

75
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:48,500
historically speaking in Pastor 
marching, I've been to this jail

76
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:54,400
in Philippi that Paul was put in
the deepest part of the jail 

77
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,200
cell, which means he wasn't on 
the floor where the prisoners 

78
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,000
were, he was down. 
It underneath the floor where 

79
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,600
the prisoners were there was 
another place. 

80
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:04,900
It's another chamber, because 
when the prisoners, in the Upper

81
00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:09,500
Floor, defecated are urinated. 
It would flow down to his floor.

82
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,600
Are you understanding me? 
And he said history says that 

83
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,200
they would chain them within 
that space and they can be 

84
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,900
anywhere from ankle to 
waist-deep in waste. 

85
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:23,100
That'd be tough, right? 
I mean it's hard to go into a 

86
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:26,500
porta potty sometimes right? 
I mean it's hard to go in the 

87
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:28,500
bathroom after somebody 
sometimes. 

88
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,600
I mean for some of you it's just
hard to open up a diaper. 

89
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:34,600
Those are some of the funniest 
videos I've ever seen in my life

90
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,900
is watching these guys gag over 
a baby's diaper, right? 

91
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,100
So I mean that has to be, you 
know, traumatic myself, right? 

92
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:46,900
And so Rick Renner describes 
that, this historical moment 

93
00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:49,300
that there would be actually 
rats that would run across the 

94
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:52,200
top of stuff like that. 
And because they were 

95
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,800
underneath, you know, there's 
not Windows and air condition 

96
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,100
happening. 
You know Stones? 

97
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,300
Right, no ventilation happening.
All right. 

98
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,300
So then everything would be Be 
moist wet. 

99
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,700
And so then the change which 
were made of iron would begin to

100
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:09,500
rust. 
So the prisoner who would 

101
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:12,800
actually be Shackled to that, 
then all of a sudden, you know, 

102
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,200
the rust, what? 
Because it hanging and stuff 

103
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,200
would eventually wear Source or 
could turn into gangrene next 

104
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,500
thing. 
You know, rat smell that they 

105
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:22,500
come knowing at night when 
you're kind of hang in there 

106
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:23,900
sleeping. 
I'm just telling you what the 

107
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:27,900
Greek scholar tells me, okay? 
Whether that's completely 

108
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:29,700
accurate though? 
Historically speaking Apparently

109
00:06:29,700 --> 00:06:33,500
that is this is where Paul is. 
Is, so when he says, I am 

110
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:37,100
betwixt, or I'm between two 
places, where did the go on and 

111
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:40,900
be with the Lord, Which is far 
better or to remain here with 

112
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:43,400
you? 
Okay. 

113
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,100
That's kind of where he's at. 
He's like man a it be better to 

114
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:50,400
die right now, right? 
And I don't know that any of us 

115
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,700
have been in this place where 
like it'd be better to die. 

116
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:55,400
Now depression will try to get 
you in that place, but I've told

117
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,300
my like Paul's Place, I don't 
think anybody in this room has 

118
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:02,100
been in that kind of scenario. 
Now, we may have been close to 

119
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:04,800
some other types of scenarios 
outside of this that you're 

120
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,700
like, man. 
It might be better to die right 

121
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:10,100
now but you know, that's 
probably not a whole lot of us, 

122
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:13,500
right? 
Okay, so We understand he's kind

123
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:17,700
of in this particular moment, 
but he gets a message, they let 

124
00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:21,800
him know that he has a letter. 
There's obviously some Finance 

125
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,500
associated with that and out of 
that, he's having this 

126
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:28,400
conversation for him, you know? 
I'm asking the question right 

127
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,600
now in my life, whether to go on
to be able to lower, Which is 

128
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,000
far better, or to remain here 
with you. 

129
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:39,500
So he says, in this verse, he 
says, for me to live is Christ 

130
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,900
and to God, die is gain. 
So we all know that the minute 

131
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:46,900
we shed this Earth suit more 
present with the Lord. 

132
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:50,000
That's obviously going to be 
better, correct. 

133
00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:53,000
I mean no one disagrees with 
that even though we'll come back

134
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,400
to this Earth, where sin will 
still be during the millennial 

135
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,300
Reign and will reign with Christ
on the Earth, but will be in 

136
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:02,200
glorified bodies to be totally 
different existence for us. 

137
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,200
All right? 
And there's things that are 

138
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,400
going to take place as a result 
of that, but we understand that 

139
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,700
natural side. 
But you know what else? 

140
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:13,200
There's a hidden thing. 
Thing within this when I say 

141
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,500
hidden because Paul in his 
latter letters rights on this 

142
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,600
from a figurative standpoint. 
When I say figurative, I don't 

143
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,900
mean physically dying but 
literally dying somewhere. 

144
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:31,400
There is still a death to occur,
so let's take dying. 

145
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,299
Look, physically off the table 
and the phrase is still 

146
00:08:35,299 --> 00:08:39,400
accurate. 
For me to live is Christ and to 

147
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:44,700
die is gain. 
Okay so if I die then I actually

148
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:47,700
live y'all know this scripture 
right? 

149
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,500
Of any man tries to save his 
life. 

150
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:53,400
He'll what loser but if he loses
his life for my sake he'll he'll

151
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,600
find his life he'll be saved. 
Okay so in this context if we 

152
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:03,700
die to self We're gaining. 
We know physically. 

153
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:06,700
If we left our physical body, we
be present with the Lord, is 

154
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:08,300
going to be far better. 
I get that. 

155
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:12,700
But if we die to self, Gain is 
there. 

156
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,300
Gain, is there. 
Now, the thing about dying to 

157
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:22,500
self is much like working, I 
physically is that you've got a,

158
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:23,700
there's going to be some 
pressure. 

159
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:27,600
Apply, it's gonna be painful, 
it's gonna be a layer of pain 

160
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,500
associated with that. 
Because, again, if you want to 

161
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:35,300
get stronger, you've got to 
undergo some pain in order to 

162
00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:38,800
get stronger. 
The same thing is that in this 

163
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,000
kind of dying to self, you've 
got to die to your flesh. 

164
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:48,000
And that can be painful because 
there's part, there's a there, 

165
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,100
the nature of the world where we
can't, what we came out of the 

166
00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:56,700
domain of Darkness. 
We came out of still is trying 

167
00:09:56,700 --> 00:10:02,200
to court us because our skin 
suits themselves have not become

168
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,600
a glorified, body detached from 
the things of the world. 

169
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,100
We have to in our soul realm, 
once our spirit, man is made the

170
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:14,100
likeness of God No, I'm not 
doing it anymore. 

171
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:17,700
And that sense, I consider 
myself dead to that. 

172
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:21,700
Although everything in my body 
screams do it. 

173
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,900
Right, even though sometimes my 
emotions say, do it. 

174
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,400
But I have to say, but that's 
dead as David Mackey for years. 

175
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,200
If you've ever spent some time, 
talking with him, he'll say the 

176
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,700
old man. 
The old man, the old man. 

177
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:41,600
Your the Bible talks about an 
old man and a new man, you don't

178
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,200
want to be associated with the 
old man. 

179
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:46,700
You want to be a new man, right?
You want to be a new man? 

180
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:49,900
And so Paul saying here, look 
for me to live is Christ. 

181
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,400
So if we're going to live, then 
we have to recognize life is in 

182
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,900
Christ. 
And we say, in Christ, we're not

183
00:10:54,900 --> 00:10:57,100
talking about the last name of 
Jesus, we're talking about the 

184
00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:00,600
title of Jesus which is the king
to live. 

185
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,500
Right, for me to live is Christ,
is the king life is to the king,

186
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,300
to Jesus Christ. 
The King because Jesus came to 

187
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:15,200
reintroduce, the world to the 
kingdom of God. 

188
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,700
That's why I went in the 
gospels. 

189
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:18,900
He preached for the Kingdom of 
Heaven is like this, and the 

190
00:11:18,908 --> 00:11:20,600
kingdom of God is like that, 
right? 

191
00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:23,200
And he says, man, if I cast out 
demons with the Finger of God, 

192
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,300
you know, the kingdom is here, 
he gave all examples of kingdom 

193
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,700
and the reality is he's the Kia 
King of the kingdom. 

194
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:33,100
And so Says I've lived for the 
king. 

195
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,500
Life is with the King. 
My life is for the king because 

196
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:42,700
the king gave his life for me, 
it's very easy exchange. 

197
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,000
When I didn't deserve the king, 
the king gave me an opportunity 

198
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:53,300
and life is in the cape and so 
dying to self is gay. 

199
00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:58,300
His game. 
And in this context in 

200
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:03,400
Philippians 1, he made a very 
unselfish decision. 

201
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:07,600
He said I'm between two places. 
Whether to go on to be with the 

202
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,300
Lord which means there's 
something about his physical 

203
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:14,700
body that was talking to him. 
That was probably saying go 

204
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:18,400
ahead and go ahead and die. 
Just go ahead and die. 

205
00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:22,500
You know, when people are on the
verge of physical death, they'll

206
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:25,300
fight that a lot of times people
will fight that, you know. 

207
00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:27,700
Have you ever seen y'all know of
these stores were people? 

208
00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:31,600
You know, they have the will to 
live and they'll fight that, you

209
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,500
know, that I've been, I don't 
don't make sense, you know, they

210
00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:35,400
really shouldn't be around but 
they're fighting, right? 

211
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,000
There's something about. 
I don't want to go, I don't want

212
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,500
to go on others, you know, they 
slip off, he's a while cause I 

213
00:12:39,508 --> 00:12:42,800
don't want to be here, don't 
even want to be here, okay? 

214
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,000
But Paul is like, look, there's 
some about his body, but he 

215
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000
says, listen to live is Christ 
for the Inge. 

216
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,400
And in this context, I'm between
two places where there go on 

217
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,800
with him or to stay here with 
you. 

218
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,100
And what did he conclude? 
I should stay for you not for 

219
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:06,000
him because for him, I can go. 
I've made Jesus. 

220
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,700
Lord, I began I answered a call 
that he had eyes II. 

221
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:14,000
Got stopped everything I was 
doing when I was confronted with

222
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,400
God on the road to Damascus. 
I began to move in fact that you

223
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,100
exist as a church because I 
answer that call. 

224
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:23,500
So at the end of the day I saw 
people born against all people 

225
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:25,500
filled with the Holy Ghost, I've
planted a church. 

226
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:31,300
Got that on my little you know, 
resume for And I can go because 

227
00:13:31,300 --> 00:13:34,300
this is harder than I thought. 
I'm getting persecuted. 

228
00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:37,100
Now, they throw me in jail over 
this stuff. 

229
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:40,300
Right. 
And my body's saying, you know 

230
00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:42,300
what, you're right. 
We God, just go ahead and slip 

231
00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:45,300
on off. 
Amen. 

232
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,500
But he said, no, I'm staying 
because of you. 

233
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:51,800
And I'm glad he stayed because 
because he stayed, then we have 

234
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,500
the current of the church in 
Corinth, we have the church in 

235
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:56,200
Ephesus. 
We have the church, I mean, 

236
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,100
these churches, he planted the 
in galatia, and then we have 

237
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:02,800
multiple letters and then the 
letter to the Roman, and the two

238
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,900
letters to create and ended the 
relationship he had with 

239
00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:08,500
Timothy. 
I mean, it all the people that 

240
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:12,200
were touched and changed because
he decided, you know what, I'm 

241
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,100
not going because I sensed the 
purpose that I'm here, which is 

242
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:20,400
not for me. 
Still is here and I'm staying. 

243
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,000
Amen. 
We need to come to the place 

244
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,400
that we like, Paul died to self 
so that we can truly gain. 

245
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,900
And let me say it this way, you 
have to do it on a consistent 

246
00:14:32,900 --> 00:14:36,100
basis. 
This is not a one-time event. 

247
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:39,400
Aunt, this is a daily deal. 
In fact, Paul and one of his 

248
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,200
first Corinthians 15 he says I 
Die daily. 

249
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,400
I Die daily. 
Now, some of that was 

250
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,800
persecution out on him, but 
then, on his own self, he died a

251
00:14:49,808 --> 00:14:51,800
lie because we can see it in his
writings, turn over to 

252
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:57,000
Galatians. 2:20, you know, this 
one he says, I've been crucified

253
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:05,100
with Christ and it is no longer 
I who live but Christ lives in 

254
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:07,800
me and the life. 
I now live in the flesh. 

255
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,000
Now, this word flesh is not a 
the word flesh. 

256
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,200
We're going to use later. 
This word flesh is your skin. 

257
00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:17,400
Oh, suit your body. 
Okay, we are threefold nature, 

258
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,600
man. 
We are Spirit. 

259
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,900
We have a soul. 
We live in a body, so he says, 

260
00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:23,300
listen the life. 
I now live in the, in the body 

261
00:15:23,300 --> 00:15:27,900
that I'm in, I live how by faith
in the Son of God, who loved me 

262
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:30,300
and gave himself up for me now. 
Keep this scripture up, going to

263
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:36,400
break it down, he said I've been
crucified with the King Okay, 

264
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:42,800
the king took on my sin and 
became sin and what he died for.

265
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,700
I've died too. 
I must say that again what he 

266
00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:51,900
died for. 
I'd I do is dead to me, right? 

267
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:55,000
And and it's no longer I who 
live now that doesn't mean 

268
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,200
Paul's not living because when 
he says, it's no longer I who 

269
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,500
live but Christ lives in me, 
that doesn't mean Paul was 

270
00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:03,900
actually Jesus. 
Now, it became a possession. 

271
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:08,600
You are not possessed with 
Jesus. 

272
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,800
None of us are possessed but you
would think with some of the 

273
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:18,100
Christian knees, talk out there 
is that we are actually 

274
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:21,500
possessed of Jesus, because we 
say he's in control, and if he 

275
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:23,200
was in control, he'd make you do
stuff. 

276
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,000
You don't do. 
Just go ahead and say, Amen. 

277
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,400
Anyway? 
Because I mean, Jesus don't 

278
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:38,100
understand control then. 
If he's in control, now, he is 

279
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:43,500
in control of his word to those 
who believe because he watches 

280
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:47,800
over his word to perform it and 
if you believe him at his word 

281
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:49,800
he's going to make sure it comes
to pass. 

282
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,200
No matter what comes against it 
that happened. 

283
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,700
Every time he will make sure 
that word comes to pass. 

284
00:16:56,100 --> 00:17:00,100
Now if he has a plan and he 
wants you to be a part of that 

285
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:03,000
plan and he's giving you a word 
to help be a part of that. 

286
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,800
Plan. 
But you don't don't fulfill your

287
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,300
part. 
Well then he'll still fulfill 

288
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:10,400
his plan. 
He'll just find somebody else 

289
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,000
who can believe and his word 
will still come to pass, 

290
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,599
although it didn't come to pass 
in you. 

291
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:17,900
So when Paul says, it's no 
longer I who live, He's not 

292
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:20,700
saying I became possessed by 
Jesus. 

293
00:17:22,099 --> 00:17:25,099
And I'm not even actually in the
skin suit really I could say hi.

294
00:17:25,099 --> 00:17:28,200
My name is Jesus Christ 
incarnate again in a different 

295
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,000
suit. 
Now in one sis, there is a 

296
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,400
reality of that. 
What I mean by that is you're in

297
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:39,000
Christ, you shouldn't look at 
yourself only as you you should 

298
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,100
see yourself in the image of 
God. 

299
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,300
With the authority of Christ 
with the authority of a king. 

300
00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:49,800
He is the king of kings. 
So you've been made royalty the 

301
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,800
minute you're born again. 
So in a figurative sense. 

302
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,700
It is Christ Living in you 
because again you're only there 

303
00:17:56,700 --> 00:18:02,400
to do his word and do his way 
and when you do that oh my gosh.

304
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,600
There's nothing that stops you. 
Nothing. 

305
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,300
Nothing can stop you from 
fulfilling. 

306
00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:11,400
Your purpose period no one not 
even. 

307
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,900
A devil in hell. 
Can't do it. 

308
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,700
Cannot happen. 
Cannot happen. 

309
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,900
Are you hearing me? 
So but Paul had to come to this 

310
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,300
realization that if I've been 
crucified with Christ, the 

311
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:27,800
person Christ died for has to be
in the grave with Christ. 

312
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:38,200
So he says that guy no longer 
lives, no longer. 

313
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,400
And we have to set it in our 
mind on more than one occasion. 

314
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,100
That guy doesn't live anymore. 
That woman does not live 

315
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:51,700
anymore. 
They are dead. 

316
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:56,800
So how he used to respond. 
I don't respond that way because

317
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,500
I respond like Christ. 
Why he goes on. 

318
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:03,100
And says, now the life that I'm 
living in my body, I live how by

319
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:07,400
faith. 
Now Faith is what substance of 

320
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,500
things, the evidence of things. 
How do we get faith? 

321
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:15,600
Faith comes by hearing and 
hearing our faith comes by 

322
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,800
hearing the word of God. 
So he says, I'm living by faith,

323
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,000
he's saying I'm Living by the 
word. 

324
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,700
I hear from God. 
So what he says I do, which 

325
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:28,800
means when he tells me 
something, when a situation 

326
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,700
occurs, I when the other thought
comes contrary to what my king 

327
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:35,800
just said I say no, I'm dead 
too. 

328
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,500
That I will not do that. 
The person who would have would 

329
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:45,100
answer that boys is dead. 
I only listen to this voice 

330
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,100
period. 
So the life that I Live. 

331
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:51,900
Now in this body, I live y by 
faith in the Son of God. 

332
00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:54,700
Who what? 
Who loved me. 

333
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:56,600
And We Know What Love really is 
God's. 

334
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,600
True love is doing his word and 
Jesus loved us so much that he 

335
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,100
went to the Cross because the 
father said, this is the only 

336
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:10,400
way. 
That while I was in Rebellion to

337
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,400
God's kingdom, Jesus still 
obeyed the father and went to 

338
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:21,800
the cross for me. 
Wow, he said I'll still be there

339
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,200
sacrifice, even if they never 
make me Lord, why? 

340
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:32,500
Because Dad said to do it, love 
is doing dad's word period, 

341
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:36,100
okay? 
So with that being said, then 

342
00:20:36,100 --> 00:20:39,800
turn over to Galatians 5:24 and 
25. 

343
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,700
This is Amplified classic 
version. 

344
00:20:41,900 --> 00:20:47,300
Because again, when we die to 
self gain is on, so here's the 

345
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:50,500
kingdom principle. 
Well, some things you're 

346
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,600
sometimes you're going to have 
to lose something in order to 

347
00:20:54,600 --> 00:21:01,500
gain something. 
Nobody wants to have a loss. 

348
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:06,000
They only want to invest and 
there's some investments in the 

349
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,100
Kingdom, but in God's cares. 
There is a total loss in order 

350
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:16,300
to have a total game. 
You got to lose everything 

351
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:21,100
first. 
In essence, you have to become 

352
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:24,000
bankrupt. 
You have to be willing to be 

353
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:28,000
bankrupt. 
The life. 

354
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,100
You lived. 
Must go bankrupt. 

355
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:32,400
You can't have a little savings 
over here. 

356
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:37,800
Little old me savings account. 
Well, in case, you know, I get 

357
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,600
one of those situations that I 
need to call him back up. 

358
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,000
He's there now. 
Just pull it out of savings. 

359
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,200
I'll give you everything. 
But, you know, every once in a 

360
00:21:48,208 --> 00:21:50,600
while there's a condition by 
which the old man I think did a 

361
00:21:50,608 --> 00:21:53,300
pretty good job. 
Well, there are some things, the

362
00:21:53,300 --> 00:21:55,800
old man did that I kind of 
liked, and I'm going to leave 

363
00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,500
that in there for a rainy day. 
Jesus told the Rich Young Ruler,

364
00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:04,600
sell it all. now, if you would 
have went bankrupt that day, 

365
00:22:06,900 --> 00:22:10,100
Then he would have gained Beyond
his wildest dreams but he 

366
00:22:10,108 --> 00:22:11,800
couldn't see it. 
You know, a lot of times 

367
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,000
Believers can't see it. 
Because Believers can't see 

368
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,700
themselves other than what they 
see themselves as or what others

369
00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:22,800
have told them about themselves.
The Little voices in their mind 

370
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:25,700
was usually sounds like their 
parents or grandparents or 

371
00:22:25,700 --> 00:22:29,300
something because they haven't 
been able to wit that yet. 

372
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:32,800
We only need to listen to what 
the Lord says, he says. 

373
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,500
Now goes on and says, Galatians 
5:24 and those who belong to 

374
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:41,200
Christ, Jesus, the Messiah have 
crucified, the flesh the Godless

375
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,000
human nature with his passions 
and appetites and desires. 

376
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:51,200
If we live by the Holy Spirit, 
that's a conditional statement. 

377
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,100
If we're living by the Holy 
Spirit, then what will be the 

378
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,700
outcome. 
Let us also walk by the spirit. 

379
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,500
So if you're saying you live by 
the Holy Spirit, then you're 

380
00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:06,700
after walk by it. 
If the Holy Spirit, we have we 

381
00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:09,500
have our life in God, let us go 
forward. 

382
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:13,700
Walking in line are conduct 
controlled by the spirit. 

383
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:15,400
Now, it says controlled 
obviously. 

384
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:19,700
It really A Better Way. 
Would say yielded Because again 

385
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:23,800
the Holy Spirit won't control 
you, he will communicate and you

386
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,400
have to yield and when you yield
basically you're saying I'll do 

387
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,300
it your way. 
Now you can say, I'm going to 

388
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:35,900
let your words control my life, 
but you are in control of that, 

389
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:42,500
you have to make the decision. 
I let you control what I do. 

390
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:48,200
Are you getting what I'm saying?
Because there's a lot of issues 

391
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,800
with this word could control. 
And this is why people, you 

392
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,900
know, are going through Waiting 
for God to actually take the 

393
00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:57,300
wheel. 
The Lord's, not taking the well 

394
00:23:57,300 --> 00:23:59,500
doors, not kicking you out of 
your seat and say I got this. 

395
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:03,600
He's like, give me the. 
Will you have the seat? 

396
00:24:03,700 --> 00:24:05,400
Thank you. 
I've been waiting to get in it. 

397
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,200
I don't know why you were there 
anyway. 

398
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,100
No, I mean I don't have a 
problem with you driving because

399
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:15,600
we're co-laborers with Christ. 
Just when you're driving the 

400
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,800
car, he's the GPS. 
I know a shortcut. 

401
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:25,500
Lord, don't do the shortcut. 
Hey man, stay on God's path. 

402
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,200
With all right. 
Anyway, so those who belong to 

403
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,100
Christ Jesus again, the Messiah 
Christ in Messiah, are the same 

404
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:34,900
word. 
Messiah is the Hebrew word. 

405
00:24:34,900 --> 00:24:39,000
Christ is the Greek word for the
anointed one and his anointing, 

406
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,800
which means the king. 
You anoint a king and everyone 

407
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,200
was looking for God's anointed 
king, who would come and 

408
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,200
establish a kingdom, that would 
never end and Jesus. 

409
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,400
Is that one? 
He's Jesus the king. 

410
00:24:56,100 --> 00:24:58,800
Say he's the king. 
Say he's the king. 

411
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:04,600
The king is the savior of the 
world, but he did more to more 

412
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,900
than just save you. 
He came to save you to conquer 

413
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,300
and as long as you identify with
the old self, you're going to be

414
00:25:15,300 --> 00:25:20,100
a Slave. 
Your mentality is going to stay 

415
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:23,700
with the old nature and you're 
gonna side with it in essence. 

416
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:31,200
You're not dying to self, but if
you will go to the new man and 

417
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,900
die to self, then you'll say 
whatever. 

418
00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:35,400
God says, going to come to pass 
period And I believe it and 

419
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,100
that's it. 
And I won't believe anything 

420
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:41,800
else. 
Man, I was reading in Exodus, 

421
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,600
you know, because this, you 
know, past week we were in 

422
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,000
Exodus a man. 
There was a big Context about 

423
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,300
them coming out right Moses. 
You brought us out here so you 

424
00:25:53,300 --> 00:25:57,200
kill us and our kids, right, 
man, I got a whole sermon I 

425
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,800
could have preach tonight on 
that deal. 

426
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,700
I'm not. 
But, I asked, can I preach on 

427
00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:04,200
this right here? 
This is gonna be good. 

428
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,300
This is liberate some people, 
amen. 

429
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,400
Right. 
You know, when someone still a 

430
00:26:10,408 --> 00:26:12,500
victim when they taught like 
that chapter. 

431
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:16,800
All right, so he says, listen 
for those who belong to Christ. 

432
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,300
What do you have? 
Crucify. 

433
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:21,700
The flesh was that mean the god,
the Godless human nature. 

434
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:23,800
With its passions, appetites and
desire. 

435
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,400
This word, crucify means to 
crucify the flesh. 

436
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,100
It means to destroy its power 
utterly. 

437
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,100
So you have to look at things 
that are contrary to God's way 

438
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,200
word and nature. 
With such hatred. 

439
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,500
So wait a minute, we're not 
supposed to. 

440
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:48,800
Hey, we're supposed to love you,
haven't read Proverbs. 

441
00:26:49,700 --> 00:26:53,600
You haven't read the Psalms 
where it says, there are some 

442
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:59,100
things God hates love. 
Hates hate, is not the opposite 

443
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:04,000
of love. 
At all, lust is actually the 

444
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,600
opposite of love. 
Hate is not because God hates 

445
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:14,900
some things. 
He hates it, we should hate some

446
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:18,000
things, we should hate things 
that are against the word of our

447
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,400
King and we should be at a place
where it's utterly destroyed in 

448
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,200
my life. 
Are you hearing me? 

449
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,700
It's utterly destroyed in my 
eyes. 

450
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,600
It's not going to happen now 
that doesn't mean the idea the 

451
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,000
thought the Temptation is it 
going to occur? 

452
00:27:36,100 --> 00:27:39,600
It's that when it does you're 
like it's not going to happen 

453
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,500
that is utterly destroyed in my 
life. 

454
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,500
Because as long as you're alive,
it becomes an option. 

455
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,400
If there's any part of you 
alive, I guarantee you the devil

456
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,500
will create a condition that 
will allow you to step back in 

457
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:04,800
and resurrect that old man. 
He will, he will. 

458
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:10,200
He is the master at creating The
Perfect Storm, they can anybody 

459
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,000
identify with this? 
Yeah, he'll did. 

460
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,600
I mean there's been times in my 
life that I've been running 

461
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:21,000
doing and I'm like, man, I'm I 
sense in my spirit, I need to go

462
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,700
pray in the Holy Ghost and read 
a little bit because I am. 

463
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,800
I am seriously, giving out way 
more than I'm having an intake 

464
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,500
right now. 
And I've had the thought on a 

465
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:34,700
couple occasions, this is not a 
great place to even be at 

466
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:39,700
because there could become a 
perfect storm scenario and the 

467
00:28:39,700 --> 00:28:41,900
minute that thought has hit my 
mind. 

468
00:28:41,900 --> 00:28:47,400
I will stop everything. 
Because I'm like I refuse to 

469
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:52,400
have that man. 
Resurrected Refuse the things 

470
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,100
I'm talking about tonight will 
set you free. 

471
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:57,200
I'm telling you really will 
because know, everybody in this 

472
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,500
room, everybody in this room has
this problem. 

473
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:06,400
Is a resurrection of self and 
that crazy thing will come. 

474
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,600
I was talking to our staff. 
Who do I preach out of the? 

475
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,900
Do I read a let me look. 
It's an earlier earlier. 

476
00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:17,700
In this verse it talks about how
the Flesh and the spirit battle 

477
00:29:17,700 --> 00:29:20,500
constantly. 
I told our staff, we've been 

478
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,500
doing a church for 19 years and 
many people have been with me 

479
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:27,800
for 19 years and plus I've known
some beyond that I'm like have 

480
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,000
we not learned a lot in 
scripture? 

481
00:29:30,100 --> 00:29:31,200
Yeah. 
Have we not? 

482
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,900
I've seen God, demonstrate his 
power and lat. 

483
00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:35,700
Yeah. 
Have we not like grown 

484
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:37,000
tremendously? 
Yeah. 

485
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,600
Have we not conquered and 
overcome and won? 

486
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,000
Many Faith battle. 
Yeah. 

487
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,400
I said then how is it? 
No matter how strong and mature,

488
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:49,000
I get in the spirit that dog 
gone flesh, can still show up. 

489
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,100
Spiritual maturity does not 
mean, the flesh won't talk. 

490
00:29:58,700 --> 00:30:01,400
Spiritual maturity means you 
keep it dead. 

491
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,500
But it never stops. 
And it's amazing. 

492
00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:12,000
You cannot get so spiritually 
mature, that the flesh can't 

493
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,700
talk. 
That is not a conflict you know 

494
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:21,700
and I feel I see it's that there
are many Believers that have 

495
00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:25,800
abandoned God because they had 
this fantasy about their 

496
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,000
spiritual walk that they would 
not have to deal with certain 

497
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:36,300
things. 
Yeah, you're always going to 

498
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:38,800
deal. 
It's just that the same thing 

499
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,400
that got the victory. 
The last time is all you got to 

500
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:47,200
do this time, but we get weary 
in our well doing. 

501
00:30:50,500 --> 00:30:53,700
And it's because a lot of times,
we just get back in a site 

502
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:57,500
driven thought process because 
you understand the devil can't 

503
00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:00,400
directly destroy you. 
He'll start picking off people 

504
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,700
around you. 
Are you hearing me? 

505
00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:08,900
I mean, his goal is to try to 
get something that you get. 

506
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:11,800
So like I can't even believe 
these people are acting like 

507
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,800
this doing the. 
Because again, he's trying to 

508
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,100
eat away at your soul. 
Because he wants a resurrection 

509
00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:20,800
himself. 
He wants your old man to show 

510
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,800
back up to start, calling the 
shots to start making the 

511
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,200
decisions. 
Amen. 

512
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:31,200
The good news is if you do have 
the old man talk to you for a 

513
00:31:31,208 --> 00:31:34,000
second and you respond to it and
you're like cheese, I shouldn't 

514
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,900
have done that because it's the 
Newman's. 

515
00:31:35,900 --> 00:31:38,700
Like, why did you lie? 
Why'd you let him talk? 

516
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,800
Why'd you do that? 
You can repent. 

517
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:45,200
Are you hearing me? 
But again, maturity is not 

518
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,900
letting the old man, talk all 
the time and then repentant real

519
00:31:48,900 --> 00:31:50,700
fast. 
Well, you know, I Repent every 

520
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:52,000
time. 
That doesn't mean mature. 

521
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,500
That means your baby your tossed
to and fro that's in maturity 

522
00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:56,900
when you're living. 
By the flesh. 

523
00:31:56,900 --> 00:31:58,400
One moment and living by the 
spirit. 

524
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,800
The next minute living by the 
flesh. 

525
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,300
One minute living by the spirit,
and your, I can't help it. 

526
00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:03,700
You're I'm just a sinner saved 
by grace. 

527
00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:06,500
You were a sinner. 
Now, you're a new man. 

528
00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:09,700
You're in the likeness of God, 
put identifying with your old 

529
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:11,700
nature. 
Come on over to the other side 

530
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:14,700
that God placed you in and that 
is the kingdom of God, a child 

531
00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:16,600
of God. 
And I have the third person of 

532
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,600
the godhead. 
The Holy Ghost on the inside of 

533
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,400
you who's trained in our mind. 
Renewing our mind and we can 

534
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,000
live a conquering life. 
That's what we have to stay, 

535
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,100
right? 
So we don't identify that way 

536
00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:30,000
anymore because I've learned, 
man. 

537
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,000
My gosh gain happens. 
The more I keep myself dead. 

538
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,100
This was the very first concept 
message. 

539
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:39,700
Not this literal message, but 
concept message. 

540
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:43,200
I preached when I was hired as a
youth, pastor in Oklahoma with 

541
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,800
Josh clay, and and Marcus, I 
don't think Todd was even coming

542
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,600
to church them nor Meredith. 
I'm trying to think of my 

543
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,500
Oklahoma people here. 
Probably just Josh and Marcus 

544
00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:55,300
were the only two teenagers that
were there. 

545
00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:58,300
And the first message of the I 
heard me preach was Earl has to 

546
00:32:58,300 --> 00:33:01,500
die because there was a country 
song by The Dixie Chicks. 

547
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:05,600
You're in, Oklahoma, is country 
capital of the world. 

548
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,000
I mean, Oklahoma's more country,
capital than Nashville. 

549
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,700
Are you okay? 
And so I'm like, you might as 

550
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:17,600
well go ahead and preach that 
one because it was popular and 

551
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:22,100
then I'm Pastor Earle, it's 
coming. 

552
00:33:23,300 --> 00:33:26,100
So let's just go away. 
I played up the portion of the 

553
00:33:26,100 --> 00:33:29,500
song, right? 
When I came out first sermon and

554
00:33:29,500 --> 00:33:33,800
I'm like that's right. 
Earl had to die because Earl was

555
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,600
killing me. 
I need to get in Christ. 

556
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,300
I need to be crucified with 
Christ I Quit living according 

557
00:33:41,300 --> 00:33:43,600
to my flesh. 
Amen. 

558
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,100
So galatian tells us that we 
have to under Lee. 

559
00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:49,800
Just we have to destroy the 
flesh, we have to destroy his 

560
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,400
power utterly. 
And here's the thing, you have 

561
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,200
the ability because Christ has 
done it. 

562
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,500
And now the third person of the 
godhead is he listen who raised 

563
00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:08,199
Jesus from the dead. who did 
come on, who did so on the third

564
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:16,699
day, the Holy Spirit went to the
Grave where Jesus was Who became

565
00:34:16,699 --> 00:34:21,300
sin, but he was illegally killed
because he was not a sinner. 

566
00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:28,100
And the power of God pulled him 
out of that dead place, which 

567
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:33,400
means then the holy spirit is a 
conqueror of dead things, and if

568
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,699
he lives in you, the, same 
spirit that raised Christ from 

569
00:34:35,699 --> 00:34:41,300
the dead lives in you, then he 
has the ability to get you out 

570
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:46,900
of dead things. 
So, you don't have to live 

571
00:34:46,900 --> 00:34:51,400
according to the flesh. 
If you're born again, it becomes

572
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,400
a choice. 
Go ahead and say it. 

573
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:59,000
Anyway, it's a choice. 
So again, when you are lost 

574
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,900
without Jesus, it wasn't a 
choice. 

575
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:03,500
Even though you think you're 
choosing everything, you're 

576
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:06,600
doing is wrong. 
Paul said, look man, I was 

577
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,600
trying to do everything. 
I mean the what the good I 

578
00:35:09,608 --> 00:35:11,400
thought I was doing. 
I found myself doing the bad. 

579
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,400
I didn't even want to do that. 
Stuff about myself doing it 

580
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,500
anyway. 
I was just a Wretched Man. 

581
00:35:16,500 --> 00:35:18,200
Right? 
He said, man, when I looked at 

582
00:35:18,208 --> 00:35:21,400
my life, my religious life prior
to knowing Christ and all the 

583
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,000
things I was doing, I mean, 
according to my religion, I was 

584
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,900
the best, but when I met Jesus, 
it smelled like poop. 

585
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,500
Now, he said that that's in 
scripture. 

586
00:35:33,700 --> 00:35:36,700
He said it was dung was the 
term. 

587
00:35:36,700 --> 00:35:43,200
He said that, that whole 
existent Was human feces, that's

588
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,800
what it smelled like and I 
thought I was living for God. 

589
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,600
Right. 
But that's what the old man 

590
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,400
smells like he's dead. 
I said he's dead. 

591
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,900
He's dead. 
I mean sometimes you know you 

592
00:35:58,900 --> 00:36:00,700
know in my mind I have these 
ideas. 

593
00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:02,300
There's a couple things I'm 
thankful for number one. 

594
00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:05,300
I'm thankful that when we pass 
gas smoke, doesn't show up 

595
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,900
right. 
I know, I know it's a weird 

596
00:36:14,900 --> 00:36:16,900
thought but I had this fall. 
I thought, man. 

597
00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:20,500
Aren't you? 
Glad he didn't, it wasn't smoke.

598
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,000
Right. 
I mean, basic is your body 

599
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,700
burning off things. 
It's just it's natural gas. 

600
00:36:30,700 --> 00:36:33,400
Its natural gas. 
I'm just glad it doesn't have 

601
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,500
smoke associated with it because
there is no such thing as 

602
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:39,100
silent. 
But deadly anymore, it's like, 

603
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:45,400
why are you smoking over there? 
It would be easier to identify 

604
00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:47,800
where the smell was coming from,
right. 

605
00:36:49,900 --> 00:36:53,500
Can you imagine being on a plane
and God would have done that 

606
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,800
been like oh man right. 
Three key. 

607
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:05,500
Be yeah yeah yeah no doubt. 
I mean that's embarrassing. 

608
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:08,000
And you know obviously I mean 
have you ever been embarrassed 

609
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,500
that his was loud somehow some I
understand you get around some 

610
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:12,500
people. 
It's a game. 

611
00:37:12,900 --> 00:37:17,200
I get that right? 
I get it and they need to renew 

612
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,100
their minds. 
I understand that. 

613
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,300
Because it's not fun. 
It's not like funny, you know, 

614
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:32,700
to be doing that loud, right? 
Yes, it's not nice right. 

615
00:37:32,900 --> 00:37:35,800
Okay. 
My point is and I said, 

616
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,100
sometimes you just can't help. 
So you're at running somewhere, 

617
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,000
there are place. 
You're like, I don't want this 

618
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,800
to happen right now, am I right?
Okay. 

619
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,400
So I'm glad that the Lord didn't
do that. 

620
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:52,700
Amen. 
And my point is, that's where 

621
00:37:52,700 --> 00:37:57,900
I'm stalling to find that point 
of gift, because it was, it was 

622
00:37:57,900 --> 00:38:01,100
a good point, here it is. 
Thank you, holy spirit, because 

623
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:02,300
thank you for bailing me out of 
that. 

624
00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:04,500
They be like, why do you talk 
about gas flagellants in 

625
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:09,600
service? 
Sometimes I wish the Lord would 

626
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:18,300
allow us to smell like the sin 
were in Because if you send, and

627
00:38:18,300 --> 00:38:22,900
you started to smell like your 
flagellant, what's that? 

628
00:38:23,900 --> 00:38:28,900
What's up with you? 
The toughest smell I've ever 

629
00:38:28,900 --> 00:38:32,200
smelled before, okay? 
And again, this is tame for most

630
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:33,200
people. 
I get it. 

631
00:38:33,300 --> 00:38:35,800
But I went with my dad, he was a
contract paying her and we were 

632
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,200
working on a hotel and we were 
doing some finishing touches. 

633
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,900
Well, there were some people 
that were coming to clean and 

634
00:38:41,900 --> 00:38:44,500
the person that had come to 
clean, it happened to be a 

635
00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:46,200
female, which was even more 
shocking. 

636
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,600
But the female was cleaning the 
windows. 

637
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:54,200
Well, they had some serious body
odor, serious body odor. 

638
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:59,500
But what made it worse is they 
put perfume on so for whatever 

639
00:38:59,500 --> 00:39:05,600
reason, the perfume in the body 
odor created a much, Potent 

640
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:10,800
smell that I could not be in the
same room when they were 

641
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,200
cleaning. 
It was tough. 

642
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:16,800
Now, I felt for the person got 
my first, all his do they know 

643
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,600
you know, because you can get 
used to Smells right. 

644
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,200
I never knew that nicotine or 
cigarettes had a smell never in 

645
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,500
my life. 
My dad, smoked my whole life did

646
00:39:26,500 --> 00:39:30,300
had no idea that cigarette smoke
gets left on your body. 

647
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,300
And about three months after my 
father died. 

648
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:38,400
There was a new Aroma that 
showed up in places, I had were 

649
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,700
around where people smoked and I
had, I realized I went to school

650
00:39:42,700 --> 00:39:46,000
smell like this, my whole life, 
and didn't know means. 

651
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,000
All my friends smelled me like 
this, and I don't even know it. 

652
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,300
You know what's instincts like 
that except worse. 

653
00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:58,000
So Paul realized and look my 
whole life as Saul of Tarsus, 

654
00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:01,000
but really, I was just walking 
around smelling. 

655
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,200
Horrible to God. 
If if we when we went back to 

656
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,800
our old self had that we would 
man you wouldn't want to live in

657
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,100
that. 
But Genesis to Weiss living by 

658
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:16,500
faith, not by sight because they
are by all right, smelling is a 

659
00:40:16,500 --> 00:40:20,100
in the sense realm. 
And if you can go up, oh wow. 

660
00:40:20,100 --> 00:40:22,500
Yeah, everybody's going to know 
I send this weekend. 

661
00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:25,200
I smell horrible. 
I mean you're not many people 

662
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,600
would be asking the Lord to 
forgive them for they ever walk 

663
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,000
in the room, you know, I need a 
Holy Ghost. 

664
00:40:31,100 --> 00:40:32,900
Right now. 
But you know somebody I need a 

665
00:40:32,908 --> 00:40:38,100
hold of goes bath. 
Because your sin will surely 

666
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:40,500
find you out, which means, and 
when it's found, I was like, 

667
00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:43,600
wow, what do you typically say, 
find out when someone's blown 

668
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,500
it? 
Well, that stinks. 

669
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:49,700
Right. 
Oh man. 

670
00:40:49,700 --> 00:40:53,800
That stinks. 
And it does to God. 

671
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:59,000
So, the old man must stay dead. 
Romans 6, verse 4, and 5. 

672
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,800
Therefore we have been buried 
with him, through baptism into 

673
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,800
death, so that as Christ was 
raised from the dead, through 

674
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:10,000
the glory of the father. 
So we too might walk in newness 

675
00:41:10,500 --> 00:41:14,900
of Life, both in galatia 
Galatians and now enrollments is

676
00:41:14,900 --> 00:41:17,300
talking about walking now. 
I'm not going to be preaching on

677
00:41:17,300 --> 00:41:18,800
the fruits of the spirit 
tonight. 

678
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,900
But you want to know whether or 
not you're walking, you're going

679
00:41:20,900 --> 00:41:24,700
to have the fruits of the spirit
Are light flowing out of your 

680
00:41:24,700 --> 00:41:26,400
life. 
People are tasting them all the 

681
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,400
time, okay? 
And you don't have that kind of 

682
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,500
fruit if you're alive to 
yourself. 

683
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,900
You stuck fruit production, the 
fruit of the spirit production, 

684
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,100
okay, but I'm not preaching on 
that. 

685
00:41:40,100 --> 00:41:42,700
Anyway, we are to walk in the 
newness of life. 

686
00:41:42,700 --> 00:41:46,900
For if we have become United 
with him in the likeness of his 

687
00:41:46,900 --> 00:41:51,300
death, certainly we shall also 
be in the likeness of his what 

688
00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:55,600
Resurrection. 
So, again, it's not, it isn't 

689
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,800
good enough and in fact God 
never wanted us to have the 

690
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,200
realization that Christ died for
our sins. 

691
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:06,300
Ins. 
And he's made a way for our sins

692
00:42:06,300 --> 00:42:08,500
to be forgiven but yet still 
walk in them. 

693
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,900
And still be bound to him that 
was never. 

694
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,900
And that we're still kind of 
stuck and can't help it till we 

695
00:42:14,900 --> 00:42:17,100
go to heaven, because that's 
when true Liberty happens. 

696
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,000
And that's just not true It's 
not true at all. 

697
00:42:21,700 --> 00:42:25,500
Full Liberty can happen. 
Now, there is a mechanism called

698
00:42:25,500 --> 00:42:29,400
your mortal body that is still 
decaying. 

699
00:42:29,700 --> 00:42:35,000
That has a Detachment out here 
that can draw on the flesh. 

700
00:42:35,100 --> 00:42:38,600
But if you'll keep your spirit 
strong and your mind renewed, 

701
00:42:38,700 --> 00:42:44,900
you can keep that crucified 
utterly destroy its power And 

702
00:42:44,900 --> 00:42:48,000
just be living on the hope and 
then your body itself will 

703
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,200
perform it the best. 
It can even as it breaks down 

704
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,900
because the spirit will Quicken 
your mortal body and cause you 

705
00:42:54,900 --> 00:42:58,800
to be in a house. 
This eternal life, Spirit, full 

706
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,100
of the life of God to fulfill, 
the purpose God has for. 

707
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,400
So we need to walk in this 
newness of life. 

708
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,500
We have to recognize he died for
me so that I could be raised up 

709
00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:12,500
to walk in this newness of Life.
Say I can walk in this newness 

710
00:43:12,500 --> 00:43:14,500
of life. 
You got to get that now. 

711
00:43:14,500 --> 00:43:17,600
Jump down to verse 8, verse 8, 
and same chapter says, now, if 

712
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,700
we have died with Christ, we 
believe that we shall also live 

713
00:43:20,700 --> 00:43:24,400
with him, and that's not heaven.
Although most people believe it 

714
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,400
that way, but it's not. 
It's right now. 

715
00:43:26,500 --> 00:43:31,000
Say right now, you can live with
Christ now, he talks to you now.

716
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,500
He talks and communicates with 
you through his word revealed by

717
00:43:35,500 --> 00:43:38,200
a spirit, that's on the inside. 
And when you get in any 

718
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,800
situation, all you have to do is
say King Jesus. 

719
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,100
What do we do? 
I don't live on my own. 

720
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,000
And I'm not going to. 
I have no idea how to respond or

721
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,900
how I want to respond. 
Right now, that's an old way of 

722
00:43:48,900 --> 00:43:52,000
responding and that person is 
dead not listening to that. 

723
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,800
So I'm waiting on instructions 
and the many gives you 

724
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,600
instructions that that's how we 
gonna handle this. 

725
00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,700
That's how we're going to handle
this. 

726
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,900
Period. 
That's how we're going to handle

727
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:05,400
it. 
Why? 

728
00:44:05,500 --> 00:44:07,800
Because I'm dead. 
That Man's dead. 

729
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,000
Jump down to verse 13, verse 13.
It says, and do not go on 

730
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,900
presenting the members of your 
body, at to sin as instruments 

731
00:44:14,900 --> 00:44:18,100
of unrighteousness. 
But present yourself to God, as 

732
00:44:18,100 --> 00:44:21,300
alive from the dead and your 
members, as instruments of 

733
00:44:21,300 --> 00:44:25,400
righteousness to God. 
At the end of the day, the one 

734
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:32,700
who controls The outward 
expression of righteousness that

735
00:44:32,700 --> 00:44:36,700
has been completed in your 
spirit, by Christ is you. 

736
00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:43,100
And the only reason why it's not
modeled more frequently, is 

737
00:44:43,100 --> 00:44:48,400
because of how we identify Don't
doing all right now. 

738
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,200
Please don't take this as boring
teaching. 

739
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,400
Because I'm going to tell you 
right now this to change your 

740
00:44:53,400 --> 00:45:00,300
life. 
It is this this what I would 

741
00:45:00,300 --> 00:45:06,000
consider Elementary principle 
but yet a consistent one that 

742
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,900
has caused me to conquer 
multiple things because the 

743
00:45:10,900 --> 00:45:16,100
minute, you take this thought on
my gosh, let me re Colossians. 

744
00:45:16,100 --> 00:45:20,400
First Colossians 3, 3 and 4 says
this for, you have died and your

745
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,800
life is hidden with Christ in 
God. 

746
00:45:23,100 --> 00:45:26,400
When Christ, who is our life is 
revealed? 

747
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,100
Then you, Also will be revealed 
with him in glory, so if you 

748
00:45:30,100 --> 00:45:32,900
want to know who I am Christ, is
going to show up. 

749
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:39,000
That Christ answers going to 
show up when I learned this here

750
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,400
for you died and I've always, 
you know, kind of had this 

751
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,500
concept with John. 
The Baptist says statement I 

752
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:49,200
must decrease, he must increase,
right? 

753
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,900
So I'm always being renewed in 
my mind to get rid of me. 

754
00:45:55,100 --> 00:45:58,800
The old me. 
The human nature, the sin 

755
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,800
nature, the way of response. 
That's not the kingdom response.

756
00:46:03,900 --> 00:46:07,800
And anytime that kind of like, 
you know what, which brought 

757
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,900
this thought it's nothing 
personal. 

758
00:46:12,900 --> 00:46:16,600
So now no matter what happens, 
it's nothing personal. 

759
00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:24,000
Because Jesus is really blunt 
with us in John chapter 17 when 

760
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,700
he's talking to the disciples. 
He said, now, listen, They're 

761
00:46:27,700 --> 00:46:31,200
going to hate you in this world.
Why? 

762
00:46:31,300 --> 00:46:34,900
Because the world lives by the 
Flesh and you live by the spirit

763
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,600
and they're in opposition. 
So the world's going to hate you

764
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,300
because they hated me. 
So, in essence, he saying don't 

765
00:46:41,300 --> 00:46:50,100
take it but how can you take it 
personal if you're dead, Let me 

766
00:46:50,100 --> 00:46:51,800
say this way. 
How can you get offended if 

767
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,300
you're dead? 
Because you can't offend a dead 

768
00:46:54,300 --> 00:46:57,900
man. 
A dead man. 

769
00:46:57,900 --> 00:47:02,000
Can't get offended offense. 
Can come, but it can't stay to a

770
00:47:02,008 --> 00:47:07,600
person dead. 
So there's a lot of thing 

771
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,300
weapons that the enemy form 
against us. 

772
00:47:10,300 --> 00:47:14,800
That doesn't even can't stay 
with me because it's associated 

773
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,800
with the dead man. 
And I know that Man's dead. 

774
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:24,300
I keep him in the grave. 
In the grave. 

775
00:47:24,300 --> 00:47:26,200
So I'll give you a couple 
examples. 

776
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,100
Obviously, I won't go into great
detail on all any of them but in

777
00:47:29,100 --> 00:47:32,300
a, from a pastor church 
perspective, when we were 

778
00:47:32,300 --> 00:47:35,400
located over here across from 
Cobblestone and we were 

779
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:39,300
Remodeling and the County 
Inspector came in and says, shut

780
00:47:39,300 --> 00:47:41,400
down the work. 
You're not allowed to be here at

781
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,700
all. 
You're not even zoned to be 

782
00:47:43,700 --> 00:47:51,000
here, which was a surprise I 
didn't take it personal, I just 

783
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,800
said to them, okay, you know, he
said don't shoot the messenger. 

784
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,200
I said you're just doing your 
job. 

785
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:57,800
Thank you for doing your job, no
problem. 

786
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,300
I just need some instruction and
that's when he said, you sure 

787
00:48:01,300 --> 00:48:03,800
are taking this. 
Well, well Christ takes 

788
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,700
everything well, because Christ 
is the answer. 

789
00:48:07,500 --> 00:48:10,000
There's not a problem Christ's 
face that he couldn't conquer. 

790
00:48:12,100 --> 00:48:15,000
So, you're not attacking me. 
I mean, you're just actually 

791
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,400
doing your assignment. 
At this point Christ has an 

792
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,000
answer and I need to lean to it 
because he's like, wow, you 

793
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,200
know, what, you're not acting 
like the other pastors. 

794
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,600
They get mad. 
Well, the old man could get mad 

795
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,700
I mean, cause plenty of thoughts
are. 

796
00:48:33,300 --> 00:48:35,600
Well, I called the county. 
They said, I could be here. 

797
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,200
Who's this guy think he is? 
Who complained, who called? 

798
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:39,900
And complained on us, because 
that's what happened. 

799
00:48:41,900 --> 00:48:45,300
Somebody called and complained. 
So it's somebody's call 

800
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:46,800
somebody's complaint against 
you. 

801
00:48:46,900 --> 00:48:49,500
You need to find out who it is. 
You need to go to their house. 

802
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,600
I'm, I can give you all kind of 
thoughts that the old man would 

803
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:56,900
say, right? 
You're gonna, you're gonna, you 

804
00:48:56,900 --> 00:48:58,500
can't even be here. 
Now, you've signed a lease 

805
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:00,200
you're gonna have to pay all 
this money and go somewhere 

806
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,200
else. 
And then you're going to go 

807
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:02,900
broke and everybody's gonna look
at you laughs. 

808
00:49:02,900 --> 00:49:04,300
I mean, I can tell you all kind 
of stuff. 

809
00:49:05,500 --> 00:49:07,800
Now, you got this whole 
congregation says coming and now

810
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:08,400
you're going to have to tell 
them. 

811
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,400
They can't be here. 
They're all going to leave you. 

812
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:16,400
You're just a waste. 
You should have never came to 

813
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:21,800
this city. 
But that Man's dead, that man 

814
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,500
would even listening the Christ 
was listening. 

815
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,300
Christ was like, who do we need?
Talk to That's all Christ. 

816
00:49:28,300 --> 00:49:30,200
Need to know who's the 
authority. 

817
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:33,000
I have no problem getting in 
front of authority because the 

818
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:38,000
king is the gate. 
He is a softy, he changes all 

819
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,000
kind of stuff. 
And sure enough, y'all know the 

820
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,300
end of the story froze. 
Have been here. 

821
00:49:43,300 --> 00:49:46,900
A while those who hadn't we 
want, we stayed in the building.

822
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,300
We overcame the obstacle because
we didn't take it personal. 

823
00:49:51,300 --> 00:49:54,700
We were friendly. 
Did not raise our voice. 

824
00:49:55,100 --> 00:49:58,600
At the county did not I cussed 
him out. 

825
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:06,200
I say that because there are 
some leaders within churches and

826
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,000
Ministries. 
I could we compare a Church 

827
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,700
Ministries, you know, their 
Ministries outside, the church 

828
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,300
that will cuss people out. 
We're like well how can you talk

829
00:50:15,300 --> 00:50:17,800
holy Hallelujah. 
Jesus, and because somebody else

830
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:25,400
when you're mad because you Doug
someone up, And you know that 

831
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,200
dead man's back in the corner 
light, Let Me In. 

832
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,500
Come on tag, let me remember. 
Wrestling have the Tag Team tag 

833
00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:31,700
me. 
Clunk just touch me. 

834
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,800
Touch me. 
Just, Just Let Me In The Rain. 

835
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,600
I'll take care of this, but you 
understand? 

836
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,200
You're in Christ. 
You're like the strongest ones 

837
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,300
in the ring right now. 
That's the problem. 

838
00:50:41,300 --> 00:50:43,400
The strongest one is in the ring
right now. 

839
00:50:43,500 --> 00:50:47,900
I let you in, we gonna get 
whipped honey, I'm not. 

840
00:50:47,900 --> 00:50:50,600
In fact, I don't have to have a 
partner right now. 

841
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,600
Okay. 
Amen. 

842
00:50:55,700 --> 00:50:59,700
So You Gotta Die. 
You know, I know that some of, 

843
00:50:59,700 --> 00:51:02,100
you know, that our whole 
Community, we first bought them 

844
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:04,300
all had a great opinion about 
stuff. 

845
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:12,100
Many people have opinions People
pep personally, attacked me. 

846
00:51:13,500 --> 00:51:17,300
And people like are you going to
say something like the king? 

847
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:19,900
Then just as my thus saith the 
Lord, I will repay. 

848
00:51:19,900 --> 00:51:23,700
That's my response. 
I'm not saying nothing because 

849
00:51:23,700 --> 00:51:27,300
that guy's dead. 
They're picking a fight with the

850
00:51:27,300 --> 00:51:29,500
King. 
You don't want to pick a fight 

851
00:51:29,500 --> 00:51:31,000
with the King. 
Can I say that? 

852
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,300
You do not want to pick a fight 
with King Jesus? 

853
00:51:33,700 --> 00:51:39,200
But yet many even believers do. 
Because they resurrect an old 

854
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:43,300
man and do an old man way of 
doing it, right? 

855
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,800
Hey men and I'm telling you 
you'll win in life. 

856
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:52,700
If you do that my wife and I we 
can get in disagreements. 

857
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,000
In the home. 
Why does our marriage 

858
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,600
flourishing? 
Be 32 years. 

859
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:05,400
This year, why? 
Because I died I don't and I 

860
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,300
tell you don't have a right to 
hold this position. 

861
00:52:10,900 --> 00:52:13,900
You're dead. 
Your, your position is Christ 

862
00:52:13,900 --> 00:52:17,000
position and you don't Christ, 
position is reconciliation. 

863
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,900
You got to reconcile this, 
you've got to get this 

864
00:52:19,900 --> 00:52:22,800
reconciled. 
You have to get this reconciled.

865
00:52:22,900 --> 00:52:25,100
You know, say Pastor Martian, I 
don't have conflict like a lot 

866
00:52:25,100 --> 00:52:27,000
of marriages because we don't 
live according to the flesh 

867
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,200
anyway. 
So our disagreements are never, 

868
00:52:29,300 --> 00:52:34,000
you know, a sin issue. 
Their opinion based. 

869
00:52:36,300 --> 00:52:39,000
Right? 
I don't want the couch there. 

870
00:52:43,700 --> 00:52:47,200
It's opinion-based, you know. 
Well let's go clean this one. 

871
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,500
I'm going to clean it. 
Are you giving me a sign or 

872
00:52:50,500 --> 00:52:53,500
something back there? 
Don't give you a song, I'm not 

873
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:59,300
done. 
Anyway, my point is, is that, 

874
00:52:59,300 --> 00:53:01,600
you know, well, what do you do 
this? 

875
00:53:02,100 --> 00:53:05,300
Well, I'm going to do it this 
way, and at the end of day, we 

876
00:53:05,300 --> 00:53:07,000
can choose. 
Am I gonna do it your way, or my

877
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,600
way? 
Because neither way sinful, 

878
00:53:09,100 --> 00:53:14,000
they're just different. 
But yet, opinions can create 

879
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,400
emotions. 
Same in any way. 

880
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,000
I'm helping some of y'all going 
to get married one day, right? 

881
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,100
I learned this lesson give up 
your right to be right. 

882
00:53:26,500 --> 00:53:31,300
I don't have to be right. 
My wife doesn't have to be 

883
00:53:31,300 --> 00:53:33,100
right. 
That's why we compromise, that's

884
00:53:33,100 --> 00:53:38,000
why it can change. 
That's why and what seems like a

885
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,600
conflict that we're not 
resolving, we have to resolve 

886
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,100
it. 
And let me tell you, I've been 

887
00:53:45,100 --> 00:53:48,500
adamant about the one scripture 
says do not let the sun go down 

888
00:53:48,500 --> 00:53:51,400
on your anger. 
Now, when I was a little less 

889
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:56,100
mature, I took it so literal 
that my wife and I were having a

890
00:53:56,100 --> 00:53:59,600
disagreement. 
The lights, don't go off, even 

891
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,800
if she turned them off, they 
came back on. 

892
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:06,500
We are resolving this conflict. 
Now I know my wife is so 

893
00:54:06,500 --> 00:54:10,300
merciful to me she resolved in 
on my behalf so we she could 

894
00:54:10,300 --> 00:54:13,700
sleep, I get it. 
And then Somewhere in the Night,

895
00:54:13,700 --> 00:54:16,800
her and God squared at away and 
when the morning hit we were 

896
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,700
good. 
I had the championship belt as 

897
00:54:20,700 --> 00:54:25,200
if I conquered that. 
I know that happens, sometimes I

898
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,800
do I'm not delusional, you know,
there were some that it worked 

899
00:54:29,900 --> 00:54:34,100
other times, it was like okay 
honey you're right in sh shut 

900
00:54:34,100 --> 00:54:36,700
up. 
Let's go to bed because it's 

901
00:54:36,700 --> 00:54:40,400
really not a big deal for me at 
this point and I feel praise God

902
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,300
we got this right? 
Can we kiss now? 

903
00:54:45,100 --> 00:54:47,600
Right. 
Hey man. 

904
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,100
There's nothing worse than 
laying in the bed opposite. 

905
00:54:50,100 --> 00:54:54,000
Each other You're not even want 
to touch the person on the other

906
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,200
side. 
None worse than that. 

907
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:02,600
You're like don't touch them. 
Yeah, the night before you like 

908
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:07,500
I'm touching you everywhere. 
Just say, Amen. 

909
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:13,100
Okay. 
But when you die to self, This 

910
00:55:13,100 --> 00:55:15,100
is what you have to do. 
I'm not alive. 

911
00:55:15,500 --> 00:55:17,100
All right to scriptures and will
be gone. 

912
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,000
Romans chapter 8 when I say to 
two passages. 

913
00:55:21,100 --> 00:55:26,900
Okay. 
Just want to be clear, Roma's 

914
00:55:26,900 --> 00:55:30,700
eighth chapter 5, we'll start 
there and we'll end somewhere. 

915
00:55:31,500 --> 00:55:34,400
The passage translation says 
that this way, see the guys they

916
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,600
never helped me. 
They're like oh this is all he's

917
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,700
gonna say. 
Okay thanks those who are 

918
00:55:39,700 --> 00:55:42,900
motivated by the flesh, only 
pursue what benefits themselves 

919
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,000
but those who live by the 
impulses of the Holy Spirit are 

920
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,500
motivated to pursue spiritual 
realities for the Mind Set On 

921
00:55:50,500 --> 00:55:55,700
the flesh, is but the mind set. 
Controlled by the spirit. 

922
00:55:55,700 --> 00:55:58,900
We've already explained what 
that actually means, finds life 

923
00:55:58,900 --> 00:56:03,100
and peace. 
In fact, the mindset focused on 

924
00:56:03,100 --> 00:56:07,400
the flesh fights. 
God's plans, God's plan and 

925
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:11,600
refuses to submit to his 
Direction because it cannot no 

926
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,100
will no matter how hard they 
try. 

927
00:56:14,300 --> 00:56:17,800
God finds no pleasure with those
who are controlled by the flesh.

928
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,800
Now, these are the ones that are
trying to convince God their way

929
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,000
is right? 
And though you scripture to do 

930
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:28,400
that, Okay, do you scripture to 
do that? 

931
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,100
All right. 
Let's go on bug when the spirit 

932
00:56:31,100 --> 00:56:34,400
of Christ, empowers your life. 
You are not dominated by the 

933
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:38,300
flesh, but by the spirit, and if
you are not joined to the spirit

934
00:56:38,300 --> 00:56:40,600
of the anointed one, you are not
of him. 

935
00:56:40,700 --> 00:56:45,000
Now, Christ lives his life in 
you and even though your body 

936
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,100
may be dead because of the 
effects of sin, meaning its 

937
00:56:48,100 --> 00:56:49,700
mortal. 
It's decaying, it's not 

938
00:56:49,700 --> 00:56:53,000
glorified his life, giving 
spirit and parts life to you 

939
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,300
because you are fully accepted 
by God. 

940
00:56:55,700 --> 00:56:59,900
Amen, this means that we have 
this comp capacity to say you 

941
00:56:59,900 --> 00:57:05,500
know what, flesh is dead. 
Now for me, I began to see 

942
00:57:05,500 --> 00:57:07,500
spiritual maturity play out this
way. 

943
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:13,300
How fast? 
Do I utterly destroy the flesh? 

944
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:23,500
If it takes you three days to 
get over yourself, right? 

945
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:27,400
I M in it. 
But then you finally come out 

946
00:57:28,100 --> 00:57:30,900
and then you it's only takes two
days, you're progressing. 

947
00:57:32,100 --> 00:57:35,900
When you get it to where, you 
know the minute it hits your 

948
00:57:35,900 --> 00:57:39,600
like whoa. 
Because the things of the spirit

949
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,900
are that readily available, 
you're that much red. 

950
00:57:41,900 --> 00:57:44,400
In the words, you're that much 
time in the spirit that much 

951
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:49,500
time in prayer that it comes up 
and you're like, okay, now we're

952
00:57:49,500 --> 00:57:51,400
starting to get to spiritual 
maturity and I'm talking about 

953
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:58,600
in any situation, any situation.
Because the devil will Mount 

954
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,900
multiple things against your 
life. 

955
00:58:01,300 --> 00:58:04,800
You got to be able to handle any
type of situation. 

956
00:58:05,700 --> 00:58:09,400
I know what some people if I 
talked about their kids, as 

957
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,600
great as they are, in certain 
areas, they would be fleshly 

958
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:16,600
unglued because they have not 
conquered the flesh with their 

959
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,200
kids. 
What do I mean by that? 

960
00:58:19,300 --> 00:58:23,200
Don't you talk about my kid? 
Who are you where did that 

961
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:25,900
person come from? 
Because the minute you thought 

962
00:58:25,900 --> 00:58:27,800
your child was an angel, you 
there's a problem already. 

963
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,400
I mean, I'm not going to talk 
about your kid, and I must say 

964
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:36,300
you what, your kid may not be 
doing with the King, and if you 

965
00:58:36,300 --> 00:58:37,700
can't handle that, that's the 
problem. 

966
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:39,800
But you can sure let the coach 
correct them. 

967
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,300
And their, I coach Leo that let 
you chew them up one side and 

968
00:58:43,300 --> 00:58:44,900
down the other, you know, in a 
nice way. 

969
00:58:44,900 --> 00:58:47,200
I know, right? 
Like, yeah, because your face, 

970
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,600
you know, like you better, this 
is the Old Coach, but then 

971
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,100
passed. 
Like, I'm telling you, you need,

972
00:58:51,100 --> 00:58:52,800
they need to get out of here. 
Don't you tell me about my kid? 

973
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,100
My relationship make me an okay,
fine. 

974
00:58:55,100 --> 00:58:59,300
Let em fornicate but I don't 
respond that way because he's 

975
00:58:59,300 --> 00:59:05,300
dead. 
But I want to Go, let you miss 

976
00:59:05,300 --> 00:59:06,800
Angel. 
Go on there and sleep with 5 or 

977
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,900
6 people because you are so, 
asinine and know what thought 

978
00:59:09,900 --> 00:59:12,100
thinking that your phone and 
getting them in trouble right 

979
00:59:12,100 --> 00:59:19,800
now. 
But, you know, coaches can talk 

980
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,400
away pastors. 
Can't there's areas. 

981
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,000
You got to ask yourself, is 
there a place that if someone 

982
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,300
went there with me, I would 
respond fleshly about that. 

983
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,600
Then you need to fix that 
because there's no place, the 

984
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,100
devil ought to be able to push a
button on you. 

985
00:59:38,700 --> 00:59:43,000
That resurrects your whole old 
being and they show up in the 

986
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:47,300
room. 
You got to be able to smell your

987
00:59:47,300 --> 00:59:51,700
old self. 
What is Oh, no, you're not. 

988
00:59:51,700 --> 00:59:55,100
You are not coming out. 
You are not coming out. 

989
00:59:55,700 --> 00:59:57,900
All right, I'm praying I'm 
reading. 

990
00:59:57,900 --> 01:00:02,100
You are not coming out. 
You are not a quit, making the 

991
01:00:02,100 --> 01:00:04,400
excuse. 
Well, we don't, you know, 

992
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:10,100
everybody blows it. 
You know how crazy that really 

993
01:00:10,100 --> 01:00:11,700
is in the realm of the spirit. 
Can I tell you? 

994
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,800
That's like me going down to the
cemetery by Craig's funeral home

995
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:22,000
and dragging a casket on 
platform Sunday and opening up a

996
01:00:22,008 --> 01:00:24,200
dead body. 
And be like Pastor. 

997
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:27,800
What did you do? 
You know that takes effort to 

998
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:31,500
dig that junk up what? 
I'm saying is you can't all what

999
01:00:31,500 --> 01:00:35,200
I can't help it. 
You took effort to dig your old 

1000
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:42,500
self up. 
You put work to it, you work to 

1001
01:00:42,500 --> 01:00:45,100
rest to get grab that thing out 
of the Grave. 

1002
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:48,400
It takes work to dig dead bodies
up. 

1003
01:00:50,100 --> 01:00:53,200
Something this utterly destroy 
it, it takes work. 

1004
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:02,800
To dig that up. 
Amen, don't let it dig up, 

1005
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:07,400
praise the lord, we close with 
this to scriptures, second 

1006
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:13,300
Corinthians 5:14, and 15 for it 
is, Christ's love that fuels our

1007
01:01:13,300 --> 01:01:17,600
passion and motivates us because
we are absolutely convinced that

1008
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,000
he has given his life for all of
us. 

1009
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:25,100
This means all died with him so 
that those who live should no 

1010
01:01:25,100 --> 01:01:29,800
longer live, self-absorbed 
lives, but live, but lives that 

1011
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:33,600
are poured out, Out for him, the
one who died for us and now 

1012
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:37,300
lives again. 
That needs to be our daily 

1013
01:01:37,300 --> 01:01:41,500
thought I died today. 
I'm dead today, too. 

1014
01:01:42,300 --> 01:01:44,700
I only live for one person. 
Jesus King Jesus. 

1015
01:01:44,700 --> 01:01:45,700
What have you got to say? 
Jesus? 

1016
01:01:45,700 --> 01:01:47,400
I said, I'm for spawning doesn't
matter. 

1017
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:49,600
What I go through today. 
You have a word for me. 

1018
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,700
You have a direction, and if I 
hear nothing, I stay quiet 

1019
01:01:54,700 --> 01:01:57,400
because even a fool seems wise. 
They keep your mouth shut. 

1020
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,700
I know that scripture and that 
is keep myself from, stinking in

1021
01:02:00,708 --> 01:02:04,800
a situation, like, hmm, what did
you say to me? 

1022
01:02:04,900 --> 01:02:18,000
Oh my gosh. 
Why you smiling you just walk 

1023
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,300
off, right? 
And then they fill all your 

1024
01:02:21,300 --> 01:02:22,600
puffed up, you know. 
Whip down. 

1025
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:24,400
We told them. 
We told him who he and your 

1026
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,100
life. 
That's all right. 

1027
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:30,300
You got an answer for me because
I really did not they're dead. 

1028
01:02:30,900 --> 01:02:37,200
They're dead, not doing it. 
I'm not doing it because 

1029
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,500
whatever that was was attacking 
somebody. 

1030
01:02:39,500 --> 01:02:41,700
Do you have silly? 
It looks we think about get this

1031
01:02:41,700 --> 01:02:43,900
in your mind. 
This is what's happening when 

1032
01:02:43,900 --> 01:02:48,900
they attack you. 
It's like going to a grave and 

1033
01:02:48,900 --> 01:02:54,900
yelling at it. 
I'll beat you. 

1034
01:02:54,900 --> 01:02:57,400
I'm going to be you. 
I'm gonna kick you and your kid.

1035
01:02:57,500 --> 01:02:59,700
I'm gonna do this on do that. 
And what, I mean, really, what's

1036
01:02:59,700 --> 01:03:01,600
the dead person thinking right 
now? 

1037
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:07,000
Now, those inhale are probably 
thinking, I wish you could, 

1038
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,600
because we're, I'm, as bad. 
I would love to come back and 

1039
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:13,400
experience what you're saying to
me, because it's bad, but those 

1040
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:16,400
that are in the Kingdom up there
in heaven with the Lord, I mean,

1041
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:20,800
with the Lord present, because 
wearing the kingdom now Okay, 

1042
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:26,600
it's saying what a crazy, what 
do you think? 

1043
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,700
I'm going to get up, Jesus, let 
me just stand up one time for 

1044
01:03:29,700 --> 01:03:33,700
fun. 
I mean right now because no 

1045
01:03:33,700 --> 01:03:36,200
matter who you are, if all of a 
sudden, the ground started to 

1046
01:03:36,208 --> 01:03:42,200
shake and all of a sudden it 
comes to nobody is like, they go

1047
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:45,300
home and I don't know of anybody
that's probably going to stay. 

1048
01:03:45,300 --> 01:03:47,400
They gonna be freaking out a 
little bit because there's too 

1049
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,700
many Walking Dead movies out 
there. 

1050
01:03:50,100 --> 01:03:52,900
Right now, right? 
And they're running. 

1051
01:03:53,100 --> 01:03:56,200
Okay, my point is that's what 
it's like, you got it when 

1052
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,700
they're yell at, you got to be 
like they're talking to the 

1053
01:03:58,700 --> 01:04:08,800
cemetery because I'm dead. 
And I'm only got a response is 

1054
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:14,600
from Jesus. 
And I've seen hard Hearts melt 

1055
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,100
away. 
I'll close with this one. 

1056
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:20,800
Alright. 
So my closer, literally, y'all 

1057
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,700
heard me say this before, I was 
at Rhema as a student, now 

1058
01:04:23,700 --> 01:04:26,900
pulled up to get off the campus 
look one way, look the other 

1059
01:04:26,900 --> 01:04:30,400
way, right? 
Because four-lane highway is, 

1060
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:34,300
looking looked looked how much 
shot I took off. 

1061
01:04:34,300 --> 01:04:36,400
Well, apparently the four-lane 
highway. 

1062
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,300
This guy was behind. 
Someone took off and started 

1063
01:04:39,300 --> 01:04:41,200
coming. 
When I came out, they were a 

1064
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:46,600
Closer, you know, and they were 
close enough, made them that. 

1065
01:04:47,300 --> 01:04:50,200
So I started heading this 
direction, they were coming, 

1066
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:55,100
this direction, they turn that 
truck around in the road and 

1067
01:04:55,100 --> 01:04:57,500
boom got on me. 
I mean, we ain't even a quarter 

1068
01:04:57,500 --> 01:05:01,500
mile and they're on me and 
they're say your number one and 

1069
01:05:01,500 --> 01:05:05,600
he uses finger. 
You're Number One, You're Number

1070
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:07,300
1, right? 
And so I'm looking in the 

1071
01:05:07,308 --> 01:05:09,600
rearview mirror. 
I mean, they are like all kind 

1072
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,800
of, you know, beautiful. 
Language is happening, you know,

1073
01:05:13,300 --> 01:05:22,700
about how number one I am. 
And so in my spirit I pulled 

1074
01:05:22,700 --> 01:05:26,600
over and got in a parking spot. 
I mean, typically just keep 

1075
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:31,300
driving, I pulled off that and 
when I pulled off, they come 

1076
01:05:31,300 --> 01:05:33,200
flying in. 
Got right here beside me. 

1077
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:35,400
I got up and went around my 
vehicle. 

1078
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:40,700
I mean, I came right towards 
them and they were anticipating.

1079
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,800
Now I wasn't a huge guy, I don't
remember what year it was. 

1080
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,600
I feel second year, I'd have 
been bigger a lot bigger. 

1081
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,700
I mean, I'd have been bigger But
if I was first year ice, pretty 

1082
01:05:52,700 --> 01:05:54,900
skinny, this guy was skinny too,
though. 

1083
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:56,600
Okay. 
But that means nothing because 

1084
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,600
I'm not a fighter anyway. 
Anyway, so the guy's got his 

1085
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:01,400
wind down. 
So he pulls back because he 

1086
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,700
thinks I'm coming in and I came 
with my hand. 

1087
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,900
I mean I came leading with my 
right hand. 

1088
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,100
I came around. 
I said, hey man, I just want to 

1089
01:06:10,108 --> 01:06:16,600
say, I am so sorry. 
I didn't see you and I'm sorry 

1090
01:06:17,500 --> 01:06:21,900
that I pulled out in front of 
you and he was like, I mean. 

1091
01:06:23,100 --> 01:06:29,400
He, he was dumbfounded. 
And he laid forward, he shook my

1092
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:31,400
head. 
All right, man. 

1093
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:35,900
Well, God bless you. 
He said that, I mean, I was 

1094
01:06:35,900 --> 01:06:40,200
coming out of the church rice of
this is what Sinners do when 

1095
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,000
they get around Christians. 
They have to act like they're 

1096
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:46,200
right. 
Just and it was over. 

1097
01:06:47,900 --> 01:06:52,300
Right. 
But it that other guy was dead. 

1098
01:06:53,500 --> 01:06:55,500
I didn't have a road rage 
moment. 

1099
01:06:56,100 --> 01:06:58,300
I didn't have a house. 
Tell him who I am. 

1100
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:00,800
I can't believe he's cussing me 
like this. 

1101
01:07:01,700 --> 01:07:04,000
You know, God forbid of my kids 
would have been here. 

1102
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:06,700
I would you not many people like
getting the flesh to defend 

1103
01:07:06,700 --> 01:07:12,300
their kids. 
Wow, thanks for showing that So 

1104
01:07:12,300 --> 01:07:17,700
showing him Jesus. 
But it disarmed them completely.

1105
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:20,700
Just like that. 
One time, I got slapped in the 

1106
01:07:20,700 --> 01:07:25,400
face and I said, here's the 
other cheek and then that person

1107
01:07:25,900 --> 01:07:31,400
pay for my second year, Rhema. 
Because the person was dead. 

1108
01:07:32,500 --> 01:07:36,400
That got hit and if you live 
your life that way you'll be 

1109
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:44,800
