Good morning. Good morning.
00:00:16.36\00:00:18.50
Happy Sunday. It's
happy Sunday right?
00:00:19.20\00:00:23.93
Praise God. Alright
you know the Bible text,
00:00:24.90\00:00:28.43
faith coming by hearing.
And hearing by the what?
00:00:28.43\00:00:32.70
Word. Word of God,
00:00:33.36\00:00:34.53
faith is so important
in our Christian life.
00:00:34.53\00:00:38.26
And we're told that faith is,
00:00:38.80\00:00:41.66
is opposite from
what? Alright, doubt, okay,
00:00:42.20\00:00:47.43
but faith is, is
opposite also from feelings.
00:00:47.43\00:00:53.16
Have you heard that before?
00:00:53.16\00:00:54.13
Yeah, faith and feelings
are like the east to the west.
00:00:54.56\00:00:57.80
So, then the question is,
00:00:58.63\00:01:00.33
what should we do with feelings?
00:01:00.33\00:01:02.46
Because we do feel, right.
00:01:02.93\00:01:04.80
So, what should
we do with feelings?
00:01:05.70\00:01:07.20
Do you think
feelings are important?
00:01:07.20\00:01:08.53
Or should we think
feelings are not that important.
00:01:10.30\00:01:13.50
We just kind of ignore it;
00:01:13.50\00:01:15.80
deny it and just
kind of walk away from it.
00:01:15.80\00:01:19.80
Yes, there are times
that, yes I understand.
00:01:20.16\00:01:22.60
There are times that we
need to deny our feelings,
00:01:22.60\00:01:25.40
we must ignore our feelings;
00:01:25.66\00:01:27.96
we must walk away
from our feelings,
00:01:27.96\00:01:30.30
but my friends,
don't get confused?
00:01:30.56\00:01:35.00
This does not mean
that we should live
00:01:36.00\00:01:39.16
our Christian faithful life
00:01:39.16\00:01:43.26
with totally without feelings.
00:01:43.26\00:01:46.46
We cannot become so
robotic. You with me?
00:01:48.53\00:01:53.13
Yes. We cannot becomes so,
00:01:53.13\00:01:55.33
so ritual or ceremonial
00:01:55.83\00:01:58.76
because our
experience should be real.
00:01:59.43\00:02:04.03
So, then what should
we do with our feelings?
00:02:05.53\00:02:08.16
You know, if I can
ask the ladies. Ladies,
00:02:08.16\00:02:12.30
is feeling
important? Yes. Yes, guys,
00:02:12.30\00:02:18.23
gentleman, is feeling important.
00:02:18.23\00:02:20.90
Yeah. Yeah, I knew
it, I knew it, I knew it.
00:02:20.90\00:02:25.06
I, I tell you, you know, we men,
00:02:25.96\00:02:28.10
we're, we're a
big trouble sometimes.
00:02:28.10\00:02:29.83
Because you know,
we have feelings too,
00:02:30.50\00:02:33.43
but we don't like
to talk about them.
00:02:33.43\00:02:34.76
You never have guys you know,
00:02:35.93\00:02:38.56
they get together hey guys,
00:02:38.56\00:02:40.00
let's talk about feelings.
00:02:40.00\00:02:41.10
And I would be like, hey man,
00:02:43.90\00:02:45.20
I'll see you later.
I'm not going there.
00:02:45.20\00:02:49.03
Yeah, but it's, but if
you really break it down
00:02:49.63\00:02:52.50
my friends feelings
is so important for male
00:02:52.50\00:02:57.76
and female. And,
and listen, look,
00:02:57.76\00:03:00.36
we're told that
when we go to heaven,
00:03:00.83\00:03:02.93
we're not going
to take our house;
00:03:03.56\00:03:05.63
we're not going to
take our car, bank account,
00:03:05.63\00:03:09.13
our clothes.
There is only one thing
00:03:09.13\00:03:12.06
that we can take to
heaven. What is that?
00:03:12.06\00:03:13.76
Character.
Character so important.
00:03:14.13\00:03:17.16
Character,
alright. So, be there,
00:03:17.60\00:03:19.83
so by the grace of
God, by the mercies of God
00:03:19.83\00:03:22.70
may God transform my character
00:03:23.06\00:03:26.10
when I go to heaven.
00:03:26.43\00:03:27.66
Now, or before I go to heaven.
00:03:27.66\00:03:29.43
Now, but what is character?
00:03:30.13\00:03:32.10
What is character?
00:03:35.50\00:03:36.50
Character is
character. What is character?
00:03:37.76\00:03:40.23
Aah, we are told that
character is a combination,
00:03:42.33\00:03:46.10
alright. Combination
between thoughts and feelings.
00:03:46.80\00:03:55.73
Thoughts and feelings combined,
00:03:56.60\00:03:58.76
meaning my friends.
00:03:59.26\00:04:01.06
Before we come to Christ
00:04:01.06\00:04:03.06
we have these wrong thoughts
00:04:03.06\00:04:05.33
and we've these wrong feelings.
00:04:08.03\00:04:10.60
Yes, I understand
that many times temptation,
00:04:11.83\00:04:16.50
obviously temptation is not sin.
00:04:16.90\00:04:19.50
And sometimes or
many times temptation
00:04:20.53\00:04:23.26
can come to you
with wrong thought
00:04:23.26\00:04:24.96
and you must deny that and claim
00:04:24.96\00:04:28.30
the right thought, amen.
00:04:29.06\00:04:30.66
By the word of God.
00:04:31.63\00:04:33.06
But when you look at
that character is based upon
00:04:34.23\00:04:37.46
thoughts and
feeling. That means my friend,
00:04:37.83\00:04:40.50
not only we need
to know how to claim
00:04:40.50\00:04:44.80
right thinking but by faith,
00:04:45.46\00:04:49.33
we also need to know
how to claim right feeling.
00:04:49.33\00:04:53.30
But the problem is
many times before we can
00:04:56.16\00:05:00.30
choose the right
feeling; we're already confused
00:05:00.30\00:05:04.66
with our own feelings.
00:05:04.66\00:05:06.13
So, in order to understand this
00:05:08.30\00:05:09.86
we need to understand
what the Bible says about
00:05:11.10\00:05:14.60
what happened to our
feeling in the Bible?
00:05:15.00\00:05:18.50
So, turn your Bibles with me.
00:05:19.76\00:05:21.46
Let's study about
feelings in the Bible.
00:05:21.46\00:05:24.23
In the Book of
Genesis, you should know it.
00:05:25.10\00:05:28.73
In the Book of Genesis,
00:05:29.46\00:05:31.03
first of all let
me introduce to you
00:05:32.73\00:05:35.26
God's feelings, divine feeling.
00:05:36.50\00:05:41.76
Question for you,
00:05:42.50\00:05:43.50
when God created everything
00:05:44.46\00:05:46.93
in the
beginning almost everyday.
00:05:46.93\00:05:51.30
At the end of his creation,
00:05:52.93\00:05:55.93
at the end of the day he said,
00:05:57.26\00:05:59.96
it's good, right.
And he repeated that word
00:06:01.70\00:06:05.56
good many other days.
00:06:06.30\00:06:09.80
And when everything was created
00:06:11.20\00:06:15.56
at the end of the sixth day
00:06:16.60\00:06:19.86
just before going
into the seventh day
00:06:19.86\00:06:23.46
the Bible says, let's read it.
00:06:24.06\00:06:27.10
In Genesis chapter
1; Genesis chapter 1
00:06:27.66\00:06:33.03
and verse 31. And
God saw everything
00:06:33.86\00:06:39.26
that he had made
and behold, it was what?
00:06:39.76\00:06:43.53
Very good and
evening and the morning
00:06:44.36\00:06:48.93
were the sixth day,
oh my friends here is
00:06:48.93\00:06:53.40
my spiritual application
for you and that is this.
00:06:53.40\00:06:57.06
It is God's plan that
we should feel everyday,
00:06:57.96\00:07:05.13
we should feel
good every single day.
00:07:05.13\00:07:09.76
What do you
think? Yes, I believe so.
00:07:10.43\00:07:14.00
And just before we
enter into the Sabbath.
00:07:15.10\00:07:18.93
We should feel what? Very good,
00:07:20.00\00:07:23.03
so if I can glean
or observe to see,
00:07:23.70\00:07:30.06
what is God's
plan for our feelings?
00:07:30.46\00:07:33.70
I think I can say,
it is God's plan that
00:07:34.76\00:07:38.43
we should feel good everyday
00:07:38.43\00:07:40.50
and for the Sabbath day
we should feel very good.
00:07:41.00\00:07:44.36
This was God's
plan. What do you think?
00:07:44.96\00:07:46.73
But then something
happened? Something,
00:07:48.10\00:07:51.56
something went wrong.
And that was when Satan
00:07:52.53\00:07:56.30
came in the form of a serpent
00:07:56.30\00:07:59.43
and just to remind
you, just to remind you that
00:08:00.70\00:08:03.43
when every thing was very good,
00:08:03.43\00:08:06.00
that came with
something for the humanity.
00:08:07.63\00:08:12.20
God felt what? Very good,
00:08:13.26\00:08:16.06
but what was the
feelings of Adam and Eve.
00:08:16.70\00:08:19.20
Just, just before he;
they enter into the Sabbath.
00:08:19.73\00:08:22.56
Look with me
what the Bible says,
00:08:23.06\00:08:24.70
in Genesis chapter
2. Genesis chapter 2
00:08:24.70\00:08:29.06
and look with me at the
end of Genesis chapter 2,
00:08:29.06\00:08:32.23
verse 25. At the end
of Genesis chapter 1,
00:08:33.90\00:08:36.90
we see God's
feeling, but now we begin to
00:08:36.90\00:08:40.33
observe the feelings
of perfect human beings
00:08:40.33\00:08:44.13
at the end of chapter 2.
Check this out, verse 25.
00:08:44.83\00:08:47.93
And they were what? Both naked,
00:08:48.50\00:08:53.73
the man and his
wife and were not what?
00:08:54.33\00:08:57.30
Ashamed, and I want to
suggest to you the idea that
00:08:58.23\00:09:02.56
they felt without shame.
00:09:03.53\00:09:06.70
And as I
mentioned to you yesterday
00:09:07.40\00:09:09.10
that means perhaps
they felt confidence
00:09:09.83\00:09:12.53
in a good way. Confidence,
00:09:12.53\00:09:14.33
feeling secure
or feeling accepted,
00:09:14.73\00:09:19.56
feeling like in total peace.
00:09:20.73\00:09:23.30
They are not shame,
00:09:23.80\00:09:26.20
with this with
the creation of man,
00:09:26.70\00:09:30.80
male and female. And
they are not feeling shame,
00:09:30.80\00:09:37.23
with every good
things around them
00:09:37.96\00:09:41.13
without shame God
called everything very good,
00:09:41.93\00:09:49.26
are you with me? It
is very good my friend
00:09:49.26\00:09:53.76
that we are without shame
00:09:53.76\00:09:57.46
and that's how we should feel.
00:09:58.00\00:10:00.96
If you want to, you
will see the connection.
00:10:01.60\00:10:05.53
If you want to feel
the power in your life,
00:10:05.96\00:10:10.20
if you want to feel
the power in your life,
00:10:11.73\00:10:14.30
the energy of life my friends,
00:10:14.30\00:10:16.23
it is life without shame.
00:10:16.23\00:10:19.26
Because shame drag us down,
00:10:20.80\00:10:23.70
shame discourages us.
We're depressed by shame,
00:10:24.10\00:10:28.53
we're driven by shame and
you'll begin to understand
00:10:28.53\00:10:32.63
my friends that
when serpent came to Eve,
00:10:32.63\00:10:36.23
yes Satan he wants Eve
and Adam to sin and die.
00:10:36.73\00:10:45.06
But in the
process with all of that,
00:10:45.93\00:10:48.96
he came, listen. He came
to change their thoughts.
00:10:49.83\00:10:56.50
But much more their feelings;
00:10:58.23\00:11:01.60
let me show you
from the Bible. Alright,
00:11:03.60\00:11:06.06
so let's look at it
Genesis chapter 3 and verse 1,
00:11:06.40\00:11:11.10
I'm sure you're
familiar with this story.
00:11:12.00\00:11:14.43
You read it many times,
you studied it many times.
00:11:14.43\00:11:18.36
But here we go,
Genesis chapter 3, verse 1.
00:11:18.36\00:11:21.30
Now the serpent
was more subtle than
00:11:21.30\00:11:26.43
any beast of the field
which the Lord God had made.
00:11:26.43\00:11:33.40
And he said unto the
woman, Ye, as God said,
00:11:33.80\00:11:37.06
Ye shall not eat of
every tree of the garden?
00:11:37.06\00:11:41.30
You know it is very
interesting obviously
00:11:42.10\00:11:44.86
I cannot use this
is as a biblical proof
00:11:44.86\00:11:48.73
but it is interesting to notice,
00:11:49.10\00:11:50.96
that the word
serpent means enchantment
00:11:51.43\00:11:58.40
or enchanter and
the word enchanter,
00:11:58.73\00:12:02.93
English word comes
from this Latin word incanto
00:12:03.90\00:12:08.96
and incanto means to sin.
00:12:10.40\00:12:13.43
Now, I thought this
was very interesting, why?
00:12:14.50\00:12:16.96
Because you know
Ellen White talked about,
00:12:16.96\00:12:19.96
how this serpent
had a melodious voice,
00:12:20.66\00:12:25.06
melodious voice,
because I don't imagine,
00:12:27.36\00:12:31.83
I don't imagine this
serpent sounded very scary,
00:12:31.83\00:12:35.26
do you? Hey woman come here,
00:12:35.60\00:12:38.60
do you think God said,
ye shall, oh runaway right.
00:12:40.30\00:12:43.76
I think he had a very
beautiful, musical voice.
00:12:46.43\00:12:51.63
Oh! Woman did God
said, ye shall not eat of,
00:12:52.70\00:12:58.93
I don't know, I
don't know what he did.
00:12:58.93\00:13:00.63
I don't know what
he did, but I think he,
00:13:01.40\00:13:04.30
he had this
incredible musical tone.
00:13:04.30\00:13:08.16
Now I just want to
point out to you that, if we.
00:13:08.16\00:13:11.86
If we observe that
carefully, then yeah,
00:13:12.50\00:13:15.70
if that was true
then that melodious
00:13:16.56\00:13:19.90
voice provided what? Feelings,
00:13:19.90\00:13:25.70
why do we like
to listen to music.
00:13:26.30\00:13:28.46
Aha it makes us
feel good that's right,
00:13:29.00\00:13:34.10
that's right. So, he the
serpent was attracting her
00:13:34.10\00:13:38.00
with this feeling and
what is he trying to do.
00:13:38.43\00:13:40.93
He's trying to deceive
her and what is deception?
00:13:41.30\00:13:45.70
Deception my friend
is simply to introduce
00:13:47.50\00:13:52.10
new thoughts and new
feeling and to change you
00:13:52.83\00:13:56.83
and to change the
way you feel about God
00:13:56.83\00:14:00.73
and the way you think about God.
00:14:00.73\00:14:02.53
That's it, and so many
times, we as a Christians.
00:14:04.16\00:14:08.06
We concentrate on. Okay,
00:14:08.06\00:14:09.56
this is the right thinking then,
00:14:09.56\00:14:11.00
but then we don't know
00:14:11.00\00:14:12.83
what to do with our feelings;
00:14:12.83\00:14:15.63
because our
feelings are many times
00:14:16.06\00:14:19.13
stronger than our thought.
00:14:19.13\00:14:22.50
And here we have Satan
in the form of serpent.
00:14:26.03\00:14:29.03
Beautiful
animal, so look at this,
00:14:29.03\00:14:31.46
a beautiful animal
with beautiful sound.
00:14:32.00\00:14:37.03
This is fantastic and
this woman was walking
00:14:37.50\00:14:41.00
in the Garden of Eden by herself
00:14:41.00\00:14:44.26
and she was
wondering, you know where
00:14:44.26\00:14:46.86
and just walking around,
she came near to this tree
00:14:46.86\00:14:51.26
of the
knowledge of good and evil
00:14:51.26\00:14:52.96
and she was
wondering about why God said
00:14:56.06\00:14:59.66
we should not eat this
fruit and this voice came
00:15:00.06\00:15:05.70
from the tree and
when she turned around,
00:15:05.70\00:15:10.50
she is seeing this
animal talking to her.
00:15:11.20\00:15:15.66
How did she feel?
How would you feel,
00:15:17.40\00:15:21.10
you're walking down the tree?
00:15:21.86\00:15:23.10
Here comes a little dog
00:15:23.60\00:15:24.83
and the dog and
this dog he runs past you
00:15:26.56\00:15:29.73
and he turns
around, stops you and says
00:15:29.73\00:15:31.80
hey you got any
bones. What would you do?
00:15:31.80\00:15:36.46
Maybe some ladies
go, oh and faint and,
00:15:38.80\00:15:41.10
you know just or scream and run
00:15:41.10\00:15:43.40
and then guys. We
may just kick the dog;
00:15:43.90\00:15:47.90
hey you're not supposed to talk.
00:15:49.63\00:15:51.20
I mean we get scared right.
00:15:54.20\00:15:55.83
But aha remember,
no, no fear for Eve.
00:15:56.83\00:16:02.90
So then, how did she
feel, she was feeling what?
00:16:04.63\00:16:09.66
Curious, you know curiosity.
00:16:12.70\00:16:15.96
Curiosity it's
like a strong magnet,
00:16:16.40\00:16:20.30
oh! You want to
know, you are so curious.
00:16:21.03\00:16:25.50
Have you ever felt, I mean,
00:16:26.80\00:16:27.86
can you imagine in
the city of Sydney,
00:16:27.86\00:16:31.33
you have this long
white wall. Alright
00:16:31.93\00:16:36.40
you got this long white wall
00:16:36.40\00:16:38.40
and then there is a little hole,
00:16:38.40\00:16:40.03
right and then above that hole,
00:16:40.53\00:16:43.46
it says please do not look
00:16:43.86\00:16:46.66
and when you're walking by that,
00:16:52.26\00:16:53.96
how would you feel? Oh!
Man I'm dying to look at it,
00:16:53.96\00:16:58.16
I'm dying. You see curiosity,
00:16:59.50\00:17:02.36
yeah it kills you
and when you look at it,
00:17:02.36\00:17:05.76
it kills you too and so
this woman was so curios
00:17:05.76\00:17:11.50
and she was fascinated. You see,
00:17:12.00\00:17:15.56
you know how like TV has
lot of fascinating things.
00:17:15.56\00:17:17.70
So, you know, very interesting,
00:17:17.70\00:17:20.10
so she was looking at
this and just thinking Wow!
00:17:20.56\00:17:24.50
How can this, this,
this animal. Yesterday,
00:17:24.90\00:17:28.60
he was not talking to me,
00:17:28.60\00:17:30.06
but now he's talking to me Wow!
00:17:30.06\00:17:33.00
So Satan got her attention
00:17:33.80\00:17:38.86
and then he begins
to introduce these,
00:17:41.40\00:17:44.66
these thinking, these
thoughts and continuing
00:17:44.66\00:17:48.26
the Bible says and the
woman said unto the serpent,
00:17:48.26\00:17:51.96
we may eat of the fruit
of the tree of the garden:
00:17:52.36\00:17:57.03
But of the fruit
of the tree which is
00:17:57.46\00:17:59.50
in the midst of the garden,
00:17:59.50\00:18:00.76
God has said, Ye
shall not eat of it,
00:18:00.76\00:18:03.56
neither shall ye
what, touch it, lest ye die.
00:18:03.56\00:18:08.46
Can you imagine how she
was feeling when she said,
00:18:08.46\00:18:11.66
you know what she
said, I know what God said,
00:18:12.16\00:18:14.56
she felt how. Confident, right,
00:18:14.56\00:18:20.20
she felt confident,
I know what God said.
00:18:20.66\00:18:24.46
You cannot tell
me, what God said.
00:18:24.46\00:18:26.80
I know what God said.
00:18:26.80\00:18:28.30
So, she was
feeling this confidence.
00:18:28.30\00:18:30.73
But if she knew what God said,
00:18:32.40\00:18:34.93
why is she standing there.
00:18:34.93\00:18:36.33
She should have said
I know what God said.
00:18:37.73\00:18:39.66
This is what God said, Umm! Bye.
00:18:39.66\00:18:41.50
But she's like standing there.
00:18:45.20\00:18:46.93
I know, what God said,
00:18:46.93\00:18:48.06
can you talk to me
more. This is fascinating.
00:18:51.06\00:18:55.13
Do you see what's happening,
00:18:56.73\00:18:57.83
you know what God said,
00:18:59.20\00:19:00.90
you have the right thinking.
00:19:00.90\00:19:03.10
But your feeling
says this is fascinating.
00:19:05.46\00:19:10.33
Pay attention to this,
00:19:10.73\00:19:13.20
so don't go after
all the fantastic things.
00:19:14.80\00:19:17.56
You may end up being deceived.
00:19:19.83\00:19:21.63
So she's standing
there and wanting some more.
00:19:23.20\00:19:25.43
That's, that was
her body language
00:19:25.90\00:19:27.63
and the serpent
continued with these words
00:19:28.00\00:19:30.56
and the Bible says:
00:19:30.80\00:19:31.90
And the serpent
said unto the woman,
00:19:31.90\00:19:33.36
Ye shall not surely die:
00:19:33.73\00:19:35.43
For God does know
that in the day ye, what?
00:19:35.86\00:19:38.70
Eat thereof, then
your eyes shall be opened,
00:19:39.66\00:19:42.70
and ye shall be as
Gods, knowing good and evil.
00:19:42.70\00:19:47.73
Now how was she
feeling at that time,
00:19:47.73\00:19:49.50
based upon his
argument, what is he saying?
00:19:50.70\00:19:53.66
Oh! If you eat this,
your eyes shall be opened
00:19:54.03\00:19:57.26
and then you shall
know good and evil,
00:19:57.63\00:20:00.90
you shall be like Gods.
00:20:00.90\00:20:02.90
So, basically if you eat
this you will become better.
00:20:03.30\00:20:09.60
If you eat this
you will become better.
00:20:12.53\00:20:15.73
How would you feel when somebody
00:20:16.86\00:20:17.90
says you can be better?
00:20:17.90\00:20:18.93
Oh! You can come,
you can be elevated,
00:20:21.63\00:20:25.10
you can go little
higher. How was she felling?
00:20:26.23\00:20:30.60
Ah! Now only
curious, not only fascinated
00:20:33.00\00:20:37.56
but now maybe see
felt a little flattered.
00:20:37.56\00:20:42.10
Oh! Yeah I should be,
I deserve to be better.
00:20:43.40\00:20:46.70
I deserve to be better.
00:20:47.10\00:20:49.13
These feelings are just
attacking her like virus.
00:20:49.13\00:20:52.73
But on top of
that, on top of that
00:20:56.66\00:20:59.36
the serpent said God knows,
00:20:59.83\00:21:02.93
it's like God knows
this but he is holding back.
00:21:03.50\00:21:06.93
So, there is that little
bit of this is injustice.
00:21:07.40\00:21:11.40
How do you feel when you know
00:21:12.20\00:21:14.33
that something is not fair?
00:21:14.33\00:21:16.13
How do you feel? You want to?
00:21:16.73\00:21:18.80
Do something about it.
You wanna do something,
00:21:20.30\00:21:23.26
it's like
injustice. It's not fair.
00:21:23.26\00:21:26.10
That's a problem, if
there is a problem what do
00:21:27.03\00:21:29.90
you wanna do with
it. Fix it, exactly.
00:21:29.90\00:21:32.10
Can't you see, all
these attacks with feelings.
00:21:32.53\00:21:36.80
Very tricky, so she
is curious, fascinated,
00:21:38.30\00:21:42.10
she is feeling
confidence like I am strong,
00:21:42.50\00:21:46.43
I can stand here,
I can protect myself
00:21:46.43\00:21:49.00
I know what God
said but at the same time
00:21:49.00\00:21:51.16
I'm curious and
the serpent is saying
00:21:51.16\00:21:53.80
oh! You can be
better, come up higher.
00:21:53.80\00:21:56.23
But now she is
analyzing all of these things
00:21:56.63\00:22:00.66
and she is thinking this animal,
00:22:01.13\00:22:03.30
he didn't talk to me yesterday
00:22:04.56\00:22:06.33
but he is talking to me today.
00:22:06.96\00:22:09.10
Most likely he ate the fruit,
00:22:09.63\00:22:12.00
if he can talk
today and got better
00:22:13.30\00:22:15.53
then oh if I eat this.
00:22:15.93\00:22:18.16
I guess I can be
better. So, she had this visual,
00:22:18.93\00:22:25.10
visual
evidence, audible evidence
00:22:26.33\00:22:31.73
that what the
serpent was saying true.
00:22:32.23\00:22:34.90
With all these
feelings she only got one thing,
00:22:38.13\00:22:43.20
I know what God said
but she was overwhelmed
00:22:43.20\00:22:47.00
by these tangible
feelings that were around her.
00:22:47.00\00:22:52.56
What I'm about to
read to you is a shocker,
00:22:59.16\00:23:01.66
it is a, it is a
shock. Look at it verse 6,
00:23:02.40\00:23:06.83
and when the woman saw
that the tree was what?
00:23:07.56\00:23:11.80
Was what? Good for food.
00:23:13.00\00:23:17.10
God said it's not good,
00:23:21.10\00:23:24.46
don't eat it, but now
she is telling herself what?
00:23:25.40\00:23:30.20
Good for food. And that tells me
00:23:31.73\00:23:35.93
how she felt about
the fruit now. Good,
00:23:35.93\00:23:40.86
before she was harsh,
she would avoid, stay away.
00:23:41.40\00:23:45.73
Don't, you know even touch it
00:23:46.40\00:23:48.20
but now it's good for food.
00:23:48.20\00:23:52.66
Her feelings
changed, she is being deceived
00:23:53.10\00:23:59.30
and by the way good for food.
00:24:00.43\00:24:02.36
The serpent did
not say its good food.
00:24:03.53\00:24:05.73
He didn't say that, did he?
00:24:06.76\00:24:08.30
He didn't say this food contains
00:24:08.76\00:24:11.10
20 percent proteins,
five percent vitamin c,
00:24:11.76\00:24:14.83
six percent vitamin D,
00:24:14.83\00:24:16.20
you know he didn't
give that fill, did he.
00:24:16.70\00:24:18.23
It's very nutritious.
00:24:19.03\00:24:20.30
What, just a little bit of evil.
00:24:20.90\00:24:22.86
He didn't say that, did he? No,
00:24:26.16\00:24:29.46
it's like she is making up
00:24:31.20\00:24:33.83
stories to convince herself.
00:24:33.83\00:24:36.10
It's like, we all this,
00:24:36.36\00:24:38.56
you know how we try
to convince ourselves
00:24:38.56\00:24:40.13
when we buy something. You know,
00:24:40.13\00:24:41.60
give ourselves more
reason to buy it's like okay,
00:24:42.06\00:24:46.23
and this is also good for this.
00:24:46.23\00:24:48.13
That tells me my
friend her thoughts
00:24:50.60\00:24:52.56
and feelings changed
and she committed sin
00:24:52.56\00:24:57.03
and she gave her sins
so to speak to her husband.
00:24:57.66\00:25:02.00
And you know what happened
after they committed sin.
00:25:03.76\00:25:06.46
Their eyes were open,
they saw that they were naked
00:25:06.46\00:25:10.20
and notice with
me from the Bible,
00:25:10.60\00:25:14.43
I know death is
the result of sin.
00:25:15.56\00:25:21.50
But listen as soon as
they committed sin the first,
00:25:21.50\00:25:27.60
may I suggest to
you; the first change
00:25:28.00\00:25:31.40
that they felt was not
so much the immediate death.
00:25:31.40\00:25:36.60
It was not like you know
Adam and Eve ate the fruit
00:25:37.20\00:25:39.93
and they both going
on, they both were going,
00:25:39.93\00:25:42.30
Oh what's going
on, I'm feeling little,
00:25:42.66\00:25:45.56
something is wrong with my body.
00:25:46.60\00:25:48.00
No, no, no, no, no,
what was the very first
00:25:48.00\00:25:52.26
change that came to them.
00:25:52.26\00:25:53.53
It was their
feeling, how do I know,
00:25:55.30\00:25:58.20
the Bible says, the
Bible says in verse 7,
00:25:58.20\00:26:01.00
it says and the eyes
of them both were opened,
00:26:01.96\00:26:04.36
and they knew
that they were naked;
00:26:04.36\00:26:06.00
and they sewed
fig-leaves together
00:26:06.33\00:26:08.66
and made
themselves what? Aprons.
00:26:08.66\00:26:12.10
Those aprons were
what, what are they for?
00:26:13.80\00:26:16.40
To cover, so their
action to cover is showing that,
00:26:17.70\00:26:22.13
now what do they feel? Shame.
00:26:22.50\00:26:26.40
Ladies and
gentlemen take notice of this.
00:26:26.40\00:26:31.13
The first feeling that
came to both Adam and Eve
00:26:31.70\00:26:39.40
after they committed sin. Shame,
00:26:39.40\00:26:43.10
and if you really
analyze your life, our life,
00:26:44.60\00:26:48.73
we are slaves to our own shame.
00:26:49.16\00:26:54.10
We are moved and motivated,
00:26:54.83\00:26:57.00
driven by our shame.
00:26:57.00\00:26:59.00
Many, many ways
00:27:01.00\00:27:02.16
and their action to
their visible shame,
00:27:03.93\00:27:07.00
their action to
their, their, their reaction
00:27:08.03\00:27:10.63
to their visible shame.
00:27:10.63\00:27:12.06
What do they do?
They just covered it.
00:27:12.30\00:27:16.00
Problem solved,
what do you think?
00:27:19.13\00:27:21.53
You know I was
looking at this and obviously
00:27:21.90\00:27:24.13
I looked at the word
apron in the original language,
00:27:24.13\00:27:27.60
it's just basically covering.
00:27:27.60\00:27:29.23
But if I go by the
usual English definition
00:27:29.96\00:27:34.46
or the way we
use the word apron.
00:27:34.46\00:27:36.73
Do you know what
aprons look like?
00:27:37.00\00:27:38.53
Yeah basically
covers the front right.
00:27:39.66\00:27:42.73
Not so much the back,
00:27:43.06\00:27:44.30
so they're
thinking if that was true,
00:27:44.80\00:27:46.66
if that was true,
they sowed together this
00:27:46.66\00:27:50.16
you know garden
fashion, Eden fashion fig leaves
00:27:50.56\00:27:54.86
and then they covered
themselves in the front,
00:27:55.43\00:27:57.66
it's like okay, problem solved
00:27:57.66\00:27:59.83
even though the
back is completely open.
00:27:59.83\00:28:01.63
It's like as long as we
cover the problem areas,
00:28:04.20\00:28:08.00
little embarrassing areas,
00:28:08.00\00:28:09.93
ah! Okay the problem solved.
00:28:09.93\00:28:12.10
Okay, then now
they can just continue
00:28:12.53\00:28:14.20
with their happy life.
00:28:14.20\00:28:15.60
Oh! That was it,
we only feeling shame,
00:28:16.70\00:28:18.43
we only feeling naked,
00:28:18.43\00:28:19.83
we only feeling a
little embarrassed.
00:28:19.83\00:28:21.63
Well, that's
solved their problem,
00:28:21.63\00:28:24.60
let's just cover it
and how did they feel
00:28:24.60\00:28:28.60
after they
covered their nakedness.
00:28:28.60\00:28:30.53
I'm sure they
probably felt what?
00:28:31.80\00:28:33.26
It's like okay
what, that wasn't too bad,
00:28:33.80\00:28:37.10
problem solved.
Okay, but my friends
00:28:37.10\00:28:41.90
there is what we called
visible shame like pimple,
00:28:42.30\00:28:46.60
zit, and there is what
we called invisible shame.
00:28:48.23\00:28:53.60
When you have a visible shame,
00:28:55.30\00:28:56.73
I don't know if
you're too big go get,
00:28:56.73\00:29:00.20
you know do exercise
and if you have something
00:29:00.20\00:29:03.10
on your forehead you know
get something to cover up.
00:29:03.10\00:29:05.63
You know, your
teeth are sticking out
00:29:06.76\00:29:08.83
and go to see, go
and see a dentist.
00:29:08.83\00:29:11.00
You know and, and
if you don't look;
00:29:11.46\00:29:14.26
if you don't like the
way you look you know go
00:29:14.26\00:29:16.80
and do some surgery
and you know I tell you,
00:29:16.80\00:29:20.33
you know Asians
are really getting
00:29:21.13\00:29:22.33
into this plastic surgery.
00:29:22.33\00:29:23.40
Yeah, I mean they all
want to have big eyes,
00:29:24.96\00:29:27.33
yeah and eye lids
and bigger nose and
00:29:28.66\00:29:32.33
when I go to Korea, I see
a lot of beautiful people.
00:29:32.80\00:29:35.20
But I am
wondering which one is fake
00:29:36.16\00:29:37.80
and which one is really?
00:29:37.80\00:29:38.76
And you know can you imagine
you see beautiful parents,
00:29:40.26\00:29:43.13
but the children they
don't look like the parents.
00:29:44.00\00:29:46.00
It's like oh man. So,
we do all kinds of things
00:29:46.90\00:29:50.56
to just cover our
shame to make ourselves okay.
00:29:51.30\00:29:54.80
We can now feel confident,
00:29:55.33\00:29:58.90
but then there is what we
called an invisible shame.
00:30:01.23\00:30:05.30
Let's see what the Bible
has to say, come with me.
00:30:06.26\00:30:09.60
Let's see what
the Bible has to say.
00:30:12.23\00:30:13.63
In Genesis
chapter 3, here we go.
00:30:15.43\00:30:18.03
in Genesis
chapter 3, and verse 8,
00:30:19.53\00:30:22.43
and they heard
the voice of the Lord.
00:30:23.53\00:30:27.23
God walking in the
garden, in the cool of the day.
00:30:27.23\00:30:31.43
Adam and his wife hid themselves
00:30:32.30\00:30:36.06
from the presence of the Lord
00:30:36.06\00:30:38.43
God amongst the
trees of the garden
00:30:38.43\00:30:41.33
and the Lord God
called on to Adam
00:30:42.26\00:30:44.76
and said unto
him where are thou?
00:30:45.20\00:30:48.66
Where are you Adam?
You know if I was Adam.
00:30:50.90\00:30:55.66
I would be like,
God you know where I am.
00:30:57.60\00:31:01.60
Why is God asking this question
00:31:03.93\00:31:05.30
where are you
Adam? I don't know,
00:31:05.30\00:31:08.16
where are you? No, he knows.
00:31:08.70\00:31:11.76
He is asking the
question listen carefully,
00:31:13.73\00:31:17.60
he is asking the
question because he wants Adam
00:31:18.53\00:31:22.30
to know that he does
not know where he is.
00:31:22.30\00:31:28.90
Listen my friends,
look at this reaction.
00:31:34.00\00:31:35.86
Visible shame, cover it,
00:31:37.16\00:31:39.26
but when they
heard the voice of God.
00:31:40.70\00:31:43.46
Voice of God, it
penetrates into your own heart
00:31:44.60\00:31:50.06
revealing
invisible shame in your mind
00:31:51.63\00:31:56.73
and when you begin to
feel your invisible shame
00:31:58.66\00:32:02.00
what is your
reaction? You cover it,
00:32:02.56\00:32:06.20
it doesn't work, you
cannot cover invisible shame,
00:32:07.36\00:32:10.86
you cannot, so what you do.
00:32:10.86\00:32:12.50
Only thing that you can do is
00:32:13.63\00:32:14.80
to run away from that voice.
00:32:15.60\00:32:19.03
Because that
voice is reminding you
00:32:21.13\00:32:25.16
that you are naked;
00:32:25.93\00:32:29.90
because when God
said why are you hiding.
00:32:30.60\00:32:32.83
Noticed what Adam
said. This is really funny,
00:32:33.23\00:32:35.83
because in Genesis
chapter 3 and verse 9, verse 10
00:32:35.83\00:32:40.23
and then he said,
notice the way Adam
00:32:40.23\00:32:42.36
responding to God and
he said I heard thy voice
00:32:43.00\00:32:47.30
in the garden and
I was what? Afraid,
00:32:47.30\00:32:51.70
because I was naked
and what? I hid myself.
00:32:51.70\00:32:57.50
He say he was what? Naked. Adam,
00:32:57.50\00:33:01.80
you know if I was
there, Adam come out man,
00:33:01.80\00:33:04.86
look you got the fig
leaves fashion, you're covered.
00:33:04.86\00:33:09.23
What do you mean
your naked, don't lie.
00:33:09.70\00:33:11.60
You're covering yourself, yeah.
00:33:13.10\00:33:15.66
Yeah he was. But
then what he can do,
00:33:15.66\00:33:22.76
what he can do
to cover his shame,
00:33:24.23\00:33:28.13
cannot cover his shame.
00:33:28.96\00:33:30.50
So, it doesn't matter what we do
00:33:31.46\00:33:33.20
to make ourselves good
00:33:33.20\00:33:35.03
it cannot take away our shame.
00:33:35.03\00:33:37.90
Do you understand
that? So, stop trying to do
00:33:37.90\00:33:42.13
what you can to
save yourselves. Amen.
00:33:42.13\00:33:45.73
Only way to save
yourselves is to not run away.
00:33:47.76\00:33:54.20
Do you
understand; he was completely,
00:33:56.83\00:34:01.00
he was covered but
he says I am naked.
00:34:01.00\00:34:03.83
So, look at the
sequence, very interesting.
00:34:03.83\00:34:06.20
Sin brought
shame; visible shame,
00:34:06.56\00:34:14.73
they covered it but then when
00:34:14.73\00:34:16.90
they heard the voice of God.
00:34:16.90\00:34:18.03
He said I was afraid.
Right and then he hide.
00:34:19.36\00:34:28.26
Look at this, this is the way
00:34:29.10\00:34:30.46
we react guys check it out.
00:34:30.46\00:34:32.20
With visible shame we cover it,
00:34:33.50\00:34:35.33
but with invisible
shame we have this fear within
00:34:35.33\00:34:40.53
and because of this fear,
00:34:41.40\00:34:43.13
this fear that we have, we run.
00:34:43.13\00:34:46.76
And what causes us to discover
00:34:48.00\00:34:52.00
and to be in touch
with our invisible shame.
00:34:53.26\00:34:57.03
What? The voice of God.
00:34:57.03\00:35:00.43
Voice of God reveals very
clearly that we are naked,
00:35:01.76\00:35:07.40
but we don't want
to think that way.
00:35:08.40\00:35:11.90
That sounds miserable we
don't feel that depressed
00:35:11.90\00:35:15.46
or you know just,
we don't want to have,
00:35:15.46\00:35:17.90
we don't want to go there.
00:35:17.90\00:35:19.30
This is a reason
why my friends I believe
00:35:19.90\00:35:22.66
many times this
is the reason why
00:35:23.66\00:35:25.73
we refuse to hear God's voice.
00:35:26.13\00:35:29.26
The word of God, the Bible,
00:35:30.50\00:35:33.26
we don't want to
hear his voice because
00:35:33.70\00:35:36.26
when we listen to his voice,
00:35:36.26\00:35:38.93
the Bible says you are naked,
00:35:39.26\00:35:41.26
shall I open the
Bible, you are naked. Naked.
00:35:43.90\00:35:48.10
Ah! Ah! I don't want
this, I don't want this,
00:35:51.13\00:35:53.70
just leave me
alone, give some ecstasy
00:35:53.70\00:35:56.40
and crystal meth
and give me some drugs.
00:35:56.40\00:35:59.10
Give me some marijuana, cocaine,
00:35:59.43\00:36:01.06
give me some alcohol.
Let's go party and dance
00:36:01.06\00:36:03.80
and let's just listen to music.
00:36:03.80\00:36:05.23
Ah! I cannot deal
with this because I,
00:36:05.23\00:36:07.60
I just want to feel
happy. Yeah, with ignorance.
00:36:08.00\00:36:12.73
Just leave me alone,
00:36:13.66\00:36:15.03
don't bother me I
will, I am not interested,
00:36:18.63\00:36:20.96
I don't want any literature.
00:36:20.96\00:36:22.06
I am busy watching
football, leave me alone.
00:36:23.83\00:36:27.10
This is my problem I will deal,
00:36:30.93\00:36:32.53
I will deal with it,
you cannot deal with it.
00:36:32.53\00:36:35.10
We cannot do brain
operation hope that,
00:36:37.36\00:36:40.40
shame will just come
out and just can throw away.
00:36:41.40\00:36:44.50
It gets worse; it gets worse,
00:36:53.93\00:36:58.26
so the feelings shame,
00:36:58.26\00:37:00.60
fear, hide and
then discovered guilty,
00:37:01.66\00:37:11.06
convicted, the next thing.
00:37:12.00\00:37:14.43
Oh my, this is so,
00:37:18.60\00:37:21.70
it's a history of
humanity look at this.
00:37:22.30\00:37:25.13
Genesis 3, look
at this, verse 11,
00:37:25.60\00:37:29.46
And he said I told
him that thou was naked,
00:37:29.70\00:37:33.46
oh sorry verse 11 and he said
00:37:34.90\00:37:37.10
who told you
that thou was naked.
00:37:37.10\00:37:39.13
Has thou eaten
of the tree where of
00:37:39.63\00:37:41.86
I commanded thee that
thou shouldeth not eat?
00:37:41.86\00:37:44.76
And the man said, the
biggest man I say he is;
00:37:44.76\00:37:49.90
the biggest man, macho man,
00:37:50.70\00:37:52.73
right with all the muscles.
00:37:52.73\00:37:55.76
You know, I
don't, I don't think God
00:37:55.76\00:37:57.00
created him with, you
know wimpy, skinny body.
00:37:57.00\00:37:59.63
I think God created
with already six pack.
00:38:00.13\00:38:02.93
Not like many of us
with one pack, he was just,
00:38:03.33\00:38:07.00
just you know
standing straight I am a man.
00:38:07.00\00:38:10.06
I am a man said,
woman caused me to do.
00:38:10.06\00:38:14.13
Poor man. What a wimp huh!
00:38:15.80\00:38:20.80
And the woman is like I
am helpless, the serpent.
00:38:23.70\00:38:27.06
Blaming others,
why do we blame others?
00:38:31.56\00:38:36.06
Because we just
cannot stand the fact that
00:38:36.86\00:38:40.13
we have been
discovered with our guilt.
00:38:40.53\00:38:45.03
We cannot face our
own invisible shame
00:38:48.03\00:38:50.76
because of that we
cannot handle this,
00:38:50.76\00:38:53.53
so we blame other people.
00:38:53.53\00:38:55.10
And when we blame
other people in the moment,
00:38:55.90\00:38:58.66
that moment we feel good
00:38:58.66\00:39:00.46
because we pass
our responsibility
00:39:02.06\00:39:04.83
to somebody else. So,
that moment we feel good
00:39:04.83\00:39:11.16
and then movement
you're like okay, okay,
00:39:11.16\00:39:14.20
I am not going to do that again.
00:39:14.20\00:39:15.73
I mean yes even
though it's her fault,
00:39:15.73\00:39:18.53
I am not going to
do it again. Okay.
00:39:18.93\00:39:21.10
So, you, you,
you, you tell yourself
00:39:22.13\00:39:25.76
I am not going to
do it again and you so,
00:39:25.76\00:39:27.96
you, you begin to build
this little self confidence.
00:39:27.96\00:39:32.96
But the problem is my friends,
00:39:34.06\00:39:35.80
we love our sin.
00:39:40.30\00:39:44.50
So it goes
something like this, sin,
00:39:47.16\00:39:49.36
shame, fear, hide, discovered,
00:39:49.80\00:39:57.23
blame, feeling
guilty and then we blame
00:39:59.60\00:40:03.16
and then we,
after we blame others
00:40:04.00\00:40:08.00
we tell ourselves we
are not going to do it.
00:40:09.93\00:40:12.10
But then
because we love our sin,
00:40:13.13\00:40:17.60
we go back and
then we go through this
00:40:18.13\00:40:21.00
vicious cycle of shame.
00:40:22.06\00:40:25.23
Over, over, over,
over, again, again, again,
00:40:26.60\00:40:32.53
until we are completely
depressed, discouraged
00:40:33.16\00:40:39.36
and we say to
ourselves I give up.
00:40:39.90\00:40:44.30
And we have these feelings,
00:40:51.33\00:40:53.13
even though we are
trying to read the Bible,
00:40:53.76\00:40:56.63
even though we're
trying to go to the church,
00:40:56.63\00:40:59.50
even though we
are trying to witness
00:40:59.50\00:41:02.06
these feelings may
come and attack your soul.
00:41:03.06\00:41:08.10
What is God's good
news for this couple?
00:41:13.36\00:41:15.83
Total chaos, feeling wise.
00:41:17.46\00:41:20.40
And when you look
them right I mean,
00:41:22.80\00:41:24.20
when you look
at them before God,
00:41:24.20\00:41:25.66
I mean do they start
having wrinkles in their face,
00:41:25.66\00:41:28.53
they look beautiful.
00:41:29.60\00:41:30.86
Do they have any
physical problems,
00:41:31.70\00:41:32.96
their lungs are not working?
00:41:32.96\00:41:34.03
No, they look
perfect. Have nice hair,
00:41:34.53\00:41:37.63
yeah, beautiful
eyes, yeah they look good.
00:41:38.43\00:41:41.13
They look good, but they
have this internal problem
00:41:41.13\00:41:46.23
that they cannot solve.
00:41:47.76\00:41:49.50
So, then what is
God's solution for them.
00:41:49.50\00:41:53.03
What is God's solution?
00:41:53.63\00:41:54.93
Verse 15, look at this,
00:41:56.30\00:41:59.23
Genesis chapter 3,
verse 15, the Bible says
00:41:59.70\00:42:02.93
look and listen to these
words and we are told that.
00:42:03.26\00:42:08.43
That this is the first, this is,
00:42:09.46\00:42:12.03
this was the announcement
00:42:12.33\00:42:14.16
of the gospel
for the first time.
00:42:14.16\00:42:15.66
Genesis 3:15 the Bible says
00:42:16.96\00:42:19.00
and I will
what? And I will what?
00:42:19.40\00:42:23.70
Put enmity between
thee and the woman,
00:42:24.70\00:42:28.00
that means he will
put enmity between Satan
00:42:30.06\00:42:33.66
and God's
people. What is enmity?
00:42:34.03\00:42:38.73
Hatred, that word
hatred is a more thinking word
00:42:41.60\00:42:45.76
or a feeling
word, I know it's both.
00:42:45.76\00:42:49.66
I know it's both. But if
we have to decide just one,
00:42:49.66\00:42:52.03
which one, it's
more feeling isn't it.
00:42:52.03\00:42:54.83
You see my friend the
Bible says Jesus, Jesus,
00:42:55.40\00:42:59.00
he loves
righteousness, he hates sin,
00:42:59.00\00:43:03.13
but we, we hate righteousness
00:43:04.50\00:43:07.23
and we love sin.
00:43:07.23\00:43:08.90
So, the very
first gospel, good news,
00:43:10.70\00:43:14.56
what is good news
he will put enmity,
00:43:14.56\00:43:17.40
what is enmity; hatred,
00:43:17.83\00:43:19.56
so first good news
is to help you to hate.
00:43:19.56\00:43:23.26
The first good news
to help you to hate.
00:43:27.03\00:43:29.00
Hating is good
news? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:43:29.00\00:43:32.96
Yeah, it is good
news. Why? It's a promise,
00:43:33.40\00:43:37.03
it is a promise my friends.
00:43:38.93\00:43:41.13
Not only God can
change your behavior,
00:43:42.00\00:43:46.40
but that's not a
change. Behavior modification,
00:43:47.00\00:43:51.50
that's not real change.
00:43:52.10\00:43:53.66
Yes, God can do that for you.
00:43:54.20\00:43:55.96
But the real change,
God really wants to help
00:43:56.70\00:44:01.20
is to change your
heart, your motivation,
00:44:01.66\00:44:08.83
your desire, your passion,
00:44:09.80\00:44:12.46
your emotions, your feelings.
00:44:13.76\00:44:17.13
God can give you
the gifts, what gifts?
00:44:18.60\00:44:21.26
To deny your wrong feelings
00:44:23.10\00:44:26.43
and boldly with courage
00:44:27.56\00:44:30.80
you can clean the
feelings of God. Amen.
00:44:31.76\00:44:36.00
My friends that is,
00:44:38.30\00:44:40.03
that is a wonderful
gift think about it,
00:44:40.43\00:44:43.10
many times we are
thinking I'm bound,
00:44:43.10\00:44:45.33
I am in bondage, I
cannot get out of here.
00:44:45.33\00:44:47.90
I just cannot free myself.
00:44:47.90\00:44:49.80
I feel this way and
when I feel this way,
00:44:49.80\00:44:52.73
I think this is me.
00:44:52.73\00:44:55.66
If this isn't me
I should not change.
00:44:56.70\00:44:59.30
But Gods says no, no,
no, no, you've been deceived,
00:45:00.43\00:45:04.00
you feel that way because
00:45:04.00\00:45:05.26
you've been deceived
by Satan that feeling,
00:45:05.26\00:45:08.40
those feelings
they are not yours,
00:45:08.40\00:45:13.20
because I brought you
00:45:14.80\00:45:16.60
with the blood
of my own son. Amen.
00:45:18.80\00:45:22.73
You can claim new feelings.
00:45:22.73\00:45:25.63
You can get out of
this vicious cycle of shame.
00:45:26.73\00:45:33.40
You don't have to repeat,
00:45:35.10\00:45:36.80
you don't have to
go back come unto me,
00:45:37.56\00:45:41.53
all that hatred, all
that labor had been laid,
00:45:42.26\00:45:44.50
then come unto me
and I will give you rest
00:45:44.50\00:45:47.53
and this rest is not
just a sleep but rest,
00:45:48.50\00:45:52.63
having peace in your mind.
00:45:53.60\00:45:55.76
Isn't this what you want? Amen.
00:45:58.83\00:46:01.36
Isn't this what you want? Yeah.
00:46:01.36\00:46:03.56
God says I will put hatred,
00:46:04.30\00:46:07.20
I will change your hearts.
00:46:07.20\00:46:09.36
Now, the question is God,
00:46:10.16\00:46:11.70
how are you going to do this?
00:46:12.13\00:46:14.23
How are you going to do this?
00:46:14.73\00:46:16.30
Well, continue reading
the Bible says in verse 15.
00:46:16.30\00:46:19.63
I will put enmity
between thee and the woman,
00:46:20.06\00:46:22.46
and between thy
seed and her seed;
00:46:22.93\00:46:26.30
it shall bruise thy head,
00:46:26.80\00:46:28.30
and thou shalt bruise his heel.
00:46:28.66\00:46:31.36
And you know this is a prophecy.
00:46:31.36\00:46:32.66
Prophecy regarding the Messiah.
00:46:32.96\00:46:34.86
Our savior, Jesus is
coming to this world to die.
00:46:34.86\00:46:39.16
So, basically what we
you got here is this. Listen,
00:46:40.13\00:46:42.50
I will put hatred and
then we have a prophecy,
00:46:43.00\00:46:46.00
what prophecy?
Jesus someday will come
00:46:46.00\00:46:49.40
and he will be
bruised for our sin,
00:46:49.40\00:46:53.26
meaning he will die.
00:46:53.80\00:46:55.46
So put it
together. Check this out,
00:46:55.46\00:46:58.63
I will put hatred in your heart,
00:46:58.90\00:47:01.76
I will perform this miracle
00:47:02.06\00:47:05.10
through the death of Jesus.
00:47:07.00\00:47:10.06
You know what that means;
00:47:10.83\00:47:11.83
you know what
that means my friends.
00:47:11.83\00:47:13.80
You want to have new feelings.
00:47:13.80\00:47:15.96
Yes, you want to have total;
00:47:17.33\00:47:20.20
you want to experience a miracle
00:47:20.20\00:47:21.56
of having new feelings.
00:47:21.56\00:47:22.76
How to start, you know where?
00:47:23.73\00:47:26.03
We must go to the
foot of the cross,
00:47:27.00\00:47:29.60
kneel before
Jesus die on the cross.
00:47:30.96\00:47:35.60
Stay right
there, think about this,
00:47:36.16\00:47:39.43
meditate upon this,
if you have to everyday
00:47:39.86\00:47:44.10
I think you
should think about this,
00:47:44.10\00:47:47.60
only at the cross you can choose
00:47:48.26\00:47:53.96
a new pathway.
Amen. In your thinking
00:47:54.76\00:47:58.53
and in your feelings. Amen.
00:47:58.53\00:48:00.66
Only when you see
Jesus; when you see Jesus
00:48:01.36\00:48:05.10
bleeding for you,
seeing him suffering for you,
00:48:05.10\00:48:08.66
not only his
physical suffering although
00:48:09.10\00:48:11.70
that's so painful I know,
00:48:11.70\00:48:13.86
but you have to
imagine his internal suffering.
00:48:13.86\00:48:18.40
What God had to give up for us
00:48:20.43\00:48:22.66
and when you meditate
just dwelled and abide,
00:48:23.30\00:48:26.30
you forget, don't
worry about breakfast,
00:48:26.63\00:48:29.73
don't worry about biology book,
00:48:29.73\00:48:31.76
don't worry
about your assignments.
00:48:31.76\00:48:33.33
You just, you find
your time and just sit there
00:48:33.63\00:48:37.80
and just spend time
with God, one on one
00:48:38.23\00:48:43.13
and just sit there
until you just let God
00:48:43.13\00:48:46.56
do his upper his operation.
00:48:47.40\00:48:49.70
Again, again, and again,
00:48:50.86\00:48:54.20
until you can begin
to feel heavenly things,
00:48:56.33\00:49:02.16
heavenly feelings, even though
00:49:03.70\00:49:06.76
you are attacked by earthly
00:49:06.76\00:49:09.20
old men worldly feelings.
00:49:09.70\00:49:12.70
You can say not
I but Christ, amen,
00:49:13.76\00:49:19.70
which liveth in me
00:49:20.03\00:49:21.56
and a life which I
now live in the flesh.
00:49:22.83\00:49:24.76
I live by the faith of
son of God who loves me.
00:49:25.56\00:49:32.43
Are you with me? Oh! My friend
00:49:34.03\00:49:38.10
and who gave himself for me,
00:49:38.10\00:49:41.03
this is the only way,
the bottom line is this.
00:49:43.13\00:49:46.96
Are you, are you
running away from God
00:49:48.93\00:49:53.13
your like what me; I am
not running way from God.
00:49:53.13\00:49:55.40
Look at me I am,
I am in the church.
00:49:55.40\00:49:57.90
I go to church, I
am not running away.
00:49:58.50\00:50:00.36
No, no, no,
that's not what I mean.
00:50:00.96\00:50:02.23
Do you have
something to hide before God?
00:50:04.33\00:50:07.76
If you do, it means two things,
00:50:13.26\00:50:16.50
you are running away
and it means you're naked.
00:50:17.23\00:50:23.16
If you have
something to hide from God,
00:50:26.33\00:50:28.16
you are running
away and you're naked.
00:50:29.13\00:50:32.73
In the book of Revelation,
00:50:34.00\00:50:35.50
we go all the way to
the book of Revelation,
00:50:35.50\00:50:36.96
let me show you this,
Revelation chapter 16,
00:50:36.96\00:50:39.80
we read
something very interesting,
00:50:39.80\00:50:41.56
Revelation
chapter 16 let's go there.
00:50:42.10\00:50:44.36
Revelation chapter 16
the Bible says in verse 15,
00:50:44.90\00:50:47.76
notice regarding the
second coming of Jesus
00:50:48.50\00:50:50.30
it says "Behold,
I come as a thief!
00:50:50.30\00:50:55.13
" Revelation chapter
16 verse 15, "Behold,
00:50:55.63\00:50:58.53
I come as a thief!
Blessed is he that watches me,
00:50:58.53\00:51:04.63
or stay awake and
keepeth his garments,
00:51:04.63\00:51:11.46
righteousness of
Christ. Keepeth his garments,
00:51:12.03\00:51:15.80
lest he what, walk
naked, and they see his shame.
00:51:15.80\00:51:22.96
" How to be prepared for
the second coming of Christ?
00:51:24.70\00:51:27.80
Why are those people
running away from Jesus,
00:51:29.00\00:51:31.86
hiding from Jesus,
asking the mountains
00:51:31.86\00:51:34.93
and the rocks to
fall upon them. Why?
00:51:34.93\00:51:37.36
Because my
friends the bottom line is
00:51:37.36\00:51:40.73
they see it now or
they refuse to see before,
00:51:40.73\00:51:47.33
but now they really
see it that they are naked.
00:51:47.86\00:51:51.96
So, in the last
days covered people,
00:51:54.46\00:51:58.53
naked people, which
one are you going to be?
00:51:59.83\00:52:04.93
And the question is
how do I cover myself,
00:52:06.66\00:52:11.23
what do I need? You
need righteousness of Jesus.
00:52:11.23\00:52:13.83
But, before you can have
the righteousness of Jesus
00:52:16.33\00:52:18.56
and you cannot earn that
righteousness only by faith
00:52:20.50\00:52:23.90
and surrender, but a condition.
00:52:23.90\00:52:29.13
What condition?
Before you can have
00:52:29.13\00:52:30.93
the righteousness of Jesus,
00:52:30.93\00:52:32.00
you have to
repent and confess. Okay,
00:52:32.00\00:52:34.46
repent and
confess, but confessing,
00:52:34.46\00:52:39.86
the word confess
means to acknowledge,
00:52:41.00\00:52:44.50
it means to May I say uncover.
00:52:45.13\00:52:48.40
So then before Jesus
comes, what we need to do?
00:52:49.90\00:52:52.76
We need to uncover everything.
00:52:53.26\00:52:56.76
This is the reason
why we are living in a day
00:52:59.13\00:53:01.00
and typical day of atonement,
00:53:01.00\00:53:03.10
afflicting our own soul.
00:53:03.10\00:53:05.03
Searching our own heart,
00:53:05.90\00:53:07.96
this is not
righteousness by works no,
00:53:07.96\00:53:10.40
this is, I love
Jesus; I want him
00:53:11.30\00:53:15.93
to have everything of me.
00:53:16.40\00:53:18.86
I don't wanna hold
back anything from God.
00:53:22.50\00:53:24.96
God, search me, help
me to uncover everything.
00:53:24.96\00:53:32.46
Because you love me so much,
00:53:34.90\00:53:36.60
I want to hate sin,
00:53:39.40\00:53:41.20
it's so easy to
say, it's so easy to say
00:53:43.00\00:53:45.56
I hate sin, in Brother John.
00:53:45.56\00:53:48.46
I hate sin in
Brother Susan, Sister Susan.
00:53:49.30\00:53:53.76
I hate sin in Brother Matthew,
00:53:53.76\00:53:56.70
I can say I hate sin
over there, sin over there
00:53:57.40\00:53:59.26
but I love my sin.
We need to uncover,
00:53:59.26\00:54:06.16
but look at this uncover means
00:54:06.66\00:54:09.06
not only to acknowledge,
00:54:09.46\00:54:11.93
but at the same time,
I'm willing to hate the sin.
00:54:14.13\00:54:23.20
Jesus I give you the permission
00:54:24.70\00:54:26.73
to do a miracle in my heart.
00:54:27.93\00:54:29.46
Grant unto me
perfect hatred towards a sin
00:54:31.13\00:54:35.70
and give me perfect
love for your righteousness.
00:54:36.60\00:54:43.33
Then we can live
without shame. Amen.
00:54:48.73\00:54:53.03
Amen. How many of you
are willing to say Lord,
00:54:56.40\00:55:00.63
help me to live a
life without shame,
00:55:04.33\00:55:10.33
if you do, stand please.
00:55:10.33\00:55:11.76
