Welcome to Behold
the Lamb Presents,
00:00:39.97\00:00:42.63
I'm Chris Shelton
your host and yes we hope
00:00:42.64\00:00:46.00
that is your heart
felt desire to break
00:00:46.01\00:00:49.26
the enemy's power
over you in your life
00:00:49.27\00:00:51.86
but how can this
be done. Every time
00:00:51.87\00:00:55.14
we turn around,
intentional or not,
00:00:55.15\00:00:57.40
it just seems like we
make the wrong decisions
00:00:57.41\00:01:00.93
and in some areas
of life, life continues
00:01:00.94\00:01:03.98
to scroll out of
control. We've all
00:01:03.99\00:01:07.16
been there, battling
with the enemy its real,
00:01:07.17\00:01:10.53
we are engaged in
a spiritual warfare
00:01:10.54\00:01:13.88
for our eternal
souls. The enemy is doing
00:01:13.89\00:01:17.18
all he possibly
can to keep you off
00:01:17.19\00:01:20.79
the straight and
narrow road that leads to
00:01:20.80\00:01:22.96
eternal life. Why?
Because he knows that
00:01:22.97\00:01:26.17
he's a scapegoat,
you can read all about
00:01:26.18\00:01:28.65
this scapegoat in
Leviticus chapter 16.
00:01:28.66\00:01:32.52
The enemy knows
that his day is coming
00:01:33.61\00:01:35.89
when all who make
it to heaven will have
00:01:35.90\00:01:38.80
their sins placed
upon the scapegoat for him
00:01:38.81\00:01:41.82
to receive the due punishment;
00:01:41.83\00:01:44.22
therefore he
would rather that you be
00:01:44.23\00:01:46.93
punished for your
sins in the lake of fire
00:01:46.94\00:01:49.41
then for him to
be. And I believe that
00:01:49.42\00:01:52.18
he is just so full of jealousy,
00:01:52.19\00:01:54.51
just so full of
hatred for all that
00:01:54.52\00:01:56.88
God's stands for, that he just
00:01:56.89\00:01:59.59
can't stand it for us
to one day live in the
00:01:59.60\00:02:03.59
heavenly atmosphere that he lost
00:02:03.60\00:02:05.59
because of his wrong choices.
00:02:05.60\00:02:08.10
Therefore if we
desire heaven be our home
00:02:08.11\00:02:12.11
some day we must
learn how to break the power
00:02:12.12\00:02:15.89
of the enemy over our actions,
00:02:15.90\00:02:18.12
over our decisions,
our thoughts, our desires,
00:02:18.13\00:02:21.27
over any avenue that
he may open to your soul.
00:02:21.28\00:02:25.90
That's why, today's
message is so vital,
00:02:25.91\00:02:30.14
so get out your
Bibles and lets study along
00:02:30.15\00:02:33.06
with Pastor Kenny as
he reveals the message
00:02:33.07\00:02:35.72
that God has
placed upon his heart.
00:02:35.73\00:02:37.80
It is entitled
breaking the power of the enemy.
00:02:37.81\00:02:41.39
To help prepare our
hearts for this message
00:02:41.40\00:02:44.07
we're once again
blasting with music from
00:02:44.08\00:02:47.61
3ABN's worship
center and today's special
00:02:47.62\00:02:50.18
music is
entitled New Jerusalem and
00:02:50.19\00:02:53.95
it is sung by
Brother Christian Berdahl.
00:02:53.96\00:02:56.63
I saw the Holy City
Descending from the sky
00:03:20.00\00:03:30.35
So brilliant
with the light of God
00:03:30.36\00:03:36.85
The city is His
bride. There is no temple
00:03:36.86\00:03:45.28
in this town. No
sun, no moon, no lamp
00:03:45.29\00:03:51.51
For God's own
glory is it's light
00:03:51.52\00:03:57.62
Illuminated by the
Lamb And God Himself
00:03:57.63\00:04:06.64
will wipe the tears
From every weeping eye
00:04:06.65\00:04:13.14
No death, no
pain, no mourning cry
00:04:14.33\00:04:19.64
And every tear made dry
00:04:19.65\00:04:26.57
And now our God
will dwell with them
00:04:27.59\00:04:32.45
The new Jerusalem
And He Himself will
00:04:32.46\00:04:40.51
walk with them The new Jerusalem
00:04:40.52\00:04:48.85
And so let all
of those who thirst
00:04:56.52\00:05:03.42
Come now and drink for free
00:05:03.43\00:05:08.03
And to the one who overcomes
00:05:08.04\00:05:13.75
Come now and you will see
00:05:13.76\00:05:18.64
Behold the old has passed away
00:05:19.60\00:05:24.30
Now everything is
new. The Alpha and
00:05:24.31\00:05:31.93
Omega's words Are trustworthy
00:05:31.94\00:05:36.78
and so true. And
God Himself will wipe
00:05:36.79\00:05:44.71
the tears. From
every weeping eye
00:05:44.72\00:05:49.50
No death, no
pain, no mourning cry
00:05:50.67\00:05:55.77
And every tear
made dry And now our God
00:05:55.78\00:06:06.27
will dwell with
them The new Jerusalem
00:06:06.28\00:06:13.29
And He Himself
will walk with them
00:06:13.30\00:06:18.59
The new Jerusalem
And now our God will
00:06:18.60\00:06:27.19
dwell with them
The new Jerusalem
00:06:27.20\00:06:33.89
And He Himself
will walk with them
00:06:33.90\00:06:39.14
The new Jerusalem
The new Jerusalem.
00:06:39.15\00:07:01.47
Thank you for
joining us once again,
00:07:29.94\00:07:32.27
we're thrilled to be
able to spend this time
00:07:32.28\00:07:34.45
with you and we
always look forward
00:07:34.46\00:07:37.39
to you know
receiving your response
00:07:37.40\00:07:40.33
to the program. So,
why don't you sit down,
00:07:40.34\00:07:42.20
get the pencil and
paper, you might have a
00:07:42.21\00:07:44.13
question or comment
we are more than happy
00:07:44.14\00:07:46.33
to look at that
and to respond to you.
00:07:46.34\00:07:48.60
You know, I
believe that God's people
00:07:48.61\00:07:51.11
have a lot on their
heart and a lot on their
00:07:51.12\00:07:53.80
mind and you may
want to share that.
00:07:53.81\00:07:56.03
Feel free to do
it, again we're glad
00:07:56.04\00:07:58.11
that you are with
us wherever you may be,
00:07:58.12\00:07:59.74
we are gonna be
studying about the breaking
00:07:59.75\00:08:02.11
the power of the
enemy. How does a
00:08:02.12\00:08:05.74
individual break
the power of the enemy?
00:08:05.75\00:08:08.38
Can an individual
or is it going to take
00:08:08.39\00:08:10.81
some outside help.
We're gonna be looking
00:08:10.82\00:08:13.15
at this after we have prayer.
00:08:13.16\00:08:14.93
So, if you can
why don't we just pray
00:08:14.94\00:08:16.96
together, I'm gonna
kneel and if you can,
00:08:16.97\00:08:18.85
fine, if you can't
prayer where you're at,
00:08:18.86\00:08:20.62
we're gonna ask for the power
00:08:20.63\00:08:21.66
of the Holy Spirit.
Kind loving heavenly Father,
00:08:21.67\00:08:26.21
we thank you for
the privilege of sharing
00:08:26.22\00:08:28.37
your word today,
they are words of life.
00:08:28.38\00:08:30.99
We pray for their
knowing of the high
00:08:31.00\00:08:33.11
Holy Spirit trace
will open my heart,
00:08:33.12\00:08:35.32
my mind, may I
be able to hear your
00:08:35.33\00:08:37.44
sweet spirit, the
words that need to be spoken
00:08:37.45\00:08:39.82
as you open the ears of the each
00:08:39.83\00:08:41.78
and everyone and
the eyes of those around
00:08:41.79\00:08:43.58
the world that are
seeking to make heaven
00:08:43.59\00:08:46.11
their home. Now for
the anointing of thy spirit
00:08:46.12\00:08:49.59
we give you praise
and honor and glory
00:08:49.60\00:08:52.30
and we pray as
this program is anointed
00:08:52.31\00:08:55.28
that it will reach thousands,
00:08:55.29\00:08:57.17
ye millions of
people around the world.
00:08:57.18\00:08:59.65
We thank you for that privilege
00:08:59.66\00:09:00.85
in Jesus name,
Amen. Always a question,
00:09:00.86\00:09:07.16
a lot of times
people make phone calls
00:09:07.17\00:09:09.09
and usually when
they make these calls
00:09:09.10\00:09:11.70
they're in some
kind of a dilemma.
00:09:11.71\00:09:13.08
Something is
going on in their life
00:09:13.09\00:09:14.88
and they have
questions and they usually
00:09:14.89\00:09:17.87
boils down to the
little bottom like is that
00:09:17.88\00:09:20.74
the devil is raking
havoc over their life.
00:09:20.75\00:09:24.58
They want to
know how they can gain
00:09:24.59\00:09:28.06
the victory over the
enemy. Well just a real
00:09:28.07\00:09:31.35
short quick answer
could be for us today
00:09:31.36\00:09:33.63
well you know just
see how Jesus did it.
00:09:33.64\00:09:36.39
But lets just go a
little bit more here
00:09:36.40\00:09:38.48
in depth as we live
day by day by every word
00:09:38.49\00:09:41.62
that proceeds
out the mouth of God.
00:09:41.63\00:09:43.99
And then we focus on
how Jesus would have us
00:09:44.00\00:09:48.56
to be working along
with him because Jesus
00:09:48.57\00:09:51.99
realizes that the
devil is a real problem
00:09:52.00\00:09:54.61
in this world. You
know the devil has an awful
00:09:54.62\00:09:57.49
lot of assaults and he
brings them against us,
00:09:57.50\00:10:00.74
he has delusions they're many,
00:10:00.75\00:10:03.25
the things that he's
working in every area.
00:10:03.26\00:10:05.34
He is busy in
every aspect of life,
00:10:05.35\00:10:08.32
he doesn't leave
one area uncovered.
00:10:08.33\00:10:11.46
So, where ever you
maybe your weakness
00:10:11.84\00:10:13.78
might be he is going to be there
00:10:13.79\00:10:15.61
and the good news
is that we can be weak
00:10:15.62\00:10:18.62
in a certain area
but through Jesus Christ
00:10:18.63\00:10:21.02
it can become
our strongest point.
00:10:21.03\00:10:23.19
But is there
working, he's there chiseling
00:10:23.20\00:10:25.31
away, doing all that
he can, he is constant,
00:10:25.32\00:10:28.95
he is consistent and
he is also the accuser
00:10:28.96\00:10:33.32
of the Brethren,
00:10:33.33\00:10:35.78
tells us. So, we
have an accuser of what?
00:10:35.79\00:10:38.77
Of the brethren. So
the devil is always going
00:10:38.78\00:10:42.19
about accusing someone.
He is bringing something
00:10:42.20\00:10:45.08
up to God, oh
these are your people,
00:10:45.09\00:10:48.38
these are your children,
well look what they did.
00:10:48.39\00:10:51.17
Look what they're
doing, he is the accuser
00:10:51.18\00:10:54.33
of the brethren. Now
the devil realized because
00:10:54.34\00:10:58.80
the Bible tells us
in Revelation 12:12,
00:10:58.81\00:11:00.98
it says the devil
has come down to you
00:11:00.99\00:11:04.36
having great wrath
and then it says because.
00:11:04.37\00:11:08.71
Now the devil has great wrath,
00:11:08.72\00:11:10.51
why does he have
such great wrath because
00:11:10.52\00:11:13.21
he knows his
time is what? Short.
00:11:13.22\00:11:17.15
He knows that he has
just a short time to go.
00:11:17.16\00:11:21.93
You know that tells
me, he already knows
00:11:21.94\00:11:24.25
he's defeated, he already knows
00:11:24.26\00:11:26.35
that he is a loser
and yet he's still trying
00:11:26.36\00:11:29.10
to lure the world
through his delusions,
00:11:29.11\00:11:31.07
through his
temptations and through the lust
00:11:31.08\00:11:33.59
of the eye and
lust of the flesh,
00:11:33.60\00:11:35.09
he's still taking
the world captive.
00:11:35.10\00:11:37.03
But he knows he
has just a short time,
00:11:38.82\00:11:41.37
do you know that you
just have a short time.
00:11:42.99\00:11:45.30
Let's not say
well the enemy knows
00:11:45.31\00:11:47.63
more than we know
here, we're not trying
00:11:47.64\00:11:49.34
to give him any
praise and lift him up.
00:11:49.35\00:11:51.54
This is reality of
it, the devil knows
00:11:51.55\00:11:54.08
his time is short and
so he is working constantly
00:11:54.09\00:11:57.25
and consistently,
oh! Much more than
00:11:57.26\00:12:00.53
many so called
Christian, we think
00:12:00.54\00:12:03.44
we have all the
life span, we're gonna be
00:12:03.45\00:12:05.99
here forever and ever and ever.
00:12:06.00\00:12:07.26
Are we really
consistent in our walk with God?
00:12:07.27\00:12:10.14
Are we aggressive
in the cause of God?
00:12:10.15\00:12:12.46
Do we realize our time is short
00:12:12.47\00:12:14.25
and we must haste we
must redeem the time?
00:12:14.26\00:12:17.39
The devil does. Oh!
He loves us to sit back
00:12:17.40\00:12:21.28
and to do nothing,
and because he knows
00:12:21.29\00:12:24.49
his time is short,
because he was cast out
00:12:24.50\00:12:27.80
to this earth.
Revelation 12:17 says
00:12:27.81\00:12:31.71
he went to make war
with the remnant of her
00:12:31.72\00:12:33.41
seed those who keep
the commandments of God,
00:12:33.42\00:12:35.55
and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ.
00:12:35.56\00:12:38.04
Two identifying
marks as you know of the
00:12:38.05\00:12:40.75
God's last day remnant church,
00:12:40.76\00:12:42.30
you don't have
those two identifying mark
00:12:42.31\00:12:44.50
you cannot
possibly be God's last day
00:12:44.51\00:12:46.86
remnant church. Not
talking about just names
00:12:46.87\00:12:49.72
on the door I'm
talking about identifying marks
00:12:49.73\00:12:52.12
that the Bible gives.
So the devil is angry,
00:12:52.13\00:12:55.17
the devil is working on what,
00:12:55.18\00:12:56.79
people who keep and I'm
talking about all ten by
00:12:56.80\00:13:00.46
God's grace. You
think about works no not all
00:13:00.47\00:13:03.53
we're talking
about what? We're obeying
00:13:03.54\00:13:05.53
because we love him. We
are going to be obedient
00:13:05.54\00:13:08.33
to God, the
devil was disobedient,
00:13:08.34\00:13:11.27
he didn't keep
the laws of heaven
00:13:11.28\00:13:14.04
and he was cast out
and if you're not by
00:13:14.05\00:13:16.25
God's grace, you're
not looking to beholding
00:13:16.26\00:13:17.89
that Ten
Commandments you see and eying
00:13:17.90\00:13:20.23
those things up
and looking and saying,
00:13:20.24\00:13:21.73
God help me with these issues.
00:13:21.74\00:13:23.20
Wow! We're not even
gonna make it to heaven
00:13:24.05\00:13:26.71
are we, to be cast
out. Something we need to
00:13:26.72\00:13:29.75
contemplate and think on today.
00:13:29.76\00:13:31.43
The Bible said, he
was cast out to this earth
00:13:31.44\00:13:33.59
and you know what
he did, he planted
00:13:33.60\00:13:37.62
his standard of
rebellion right here
00:13:37.63\00:13:42.60
on this thing we
call earth, this planet.
00:13:42.61\00:13:44.91
He planted a rebellious standard
00:13:45.75\00:13:49.19
and he's saying, I'm
going to rally the world
00:13:49.20\00:13:51.92
around my
standard. We're talking about
00:13:51.93\00:13:56.26
breaking the power of the enemy
00:13:56.27\00:13:58.29
but he's come
down with great power,
00:13:58.30\00:13:59.95
he's planted a
standard, that's his law,
00:13:59.96\00:14:05.37
man made rules and regulations,
00:14:05.38\00:14:06.80
this is not
God's, but God's also
00:14:06.81\00:14:08.32
has a standard. And
we're gonna rally around
00:14:08.33\00:14:11.66
one or the other,
you're gonna rally around
00:14:11.67\00:14:13.98
the old enemy and his
standard all around God
00:14:13.99\00:14:18.93
and his standard,
what is it going to be,
00:14:18.94\00:14:21.05
are you going to break
the power of that enemy
00:14:21.06\00:14:24.41
in your life, then
we have to so regulate
00:14:24.42\00:14:27.92
our life by the grace of God.
00:14:27.93\00:14:30.00
Come in harmony with scripture.
00:14:30.01\00:14:32.02
The enemy, the
Bible said was cast out
00:14:33.57\00:14:37.15
of heaven, you know he
was cast out of heaven,
00:14:37.16\00:14:38.78
yeah because he was rebellious,
00:14:38.79\00:14:40.24
he wouldn't go
along with God's rules
00:14:40.25\00:14:42.07
and regulation
that's put in a very
00:14:42.08\00:14:43.97
simple way, that's
true. And when he was
00:14:43.98\00:14:47.11
cast out, he had, he
no longer had any right
00:14:47.12\00:14:49.88
to be in the courts of heaven.
00:14:49.89\00:14:52.20
Why? Because he
rebelled, because
00:14:53.37\00:14:55.39
he was disobedient,
yet the world is saying
00:14:55.40\00:14:57.62
we no need to be obedient.
00:14:57.63\00:14:59.21
But the devil was
cast out because of
00:14:59.97\00:15:01.55
disobedience. So,
there is something
00:15:01.56\00:15:04.07
we need to look at
here a little bit closer
00:15:04.08\00:15:07.32
today as we see
we need to break that
00:15:07.33\00:15:09.61
power of the
enemy. The enemy knew
00:15:09.62\00:15:12.96
that when he came to
this world he is going
00:15:12.97\00:15:14.84
to set up his you
guys call his empire
00:15:14.85\00:15:17.36
this world and he
said, I'm going to destroy
00:15:17.37\00:15:21.60
as many people as I can or what?
00:15:21.61\00:15:25.48
I'm going to take down
as many people as I can.
00:15:25.49\00:15:28.52
And you know the
one's that he was wanting to
00:15:30.89\00:15:32.55
take down those
that were created
00:15:32.56\00:15:35.82
in the image of
God that's all mankind
00:15:35.83\00:15:38.04
isn't it. Because
we were created in the
00:15:38.05\00:15:40.90
image of God the devil hates you
00:15:40.91\00:15:44.68
and so he's
picked a fight with you
00:15:45.46\00:15:48.47
and he's either going
to win or you're going
00:15:49.06\00:15:51.67
to win. He chooses
many avenues in which
00:15:51.68\00:15:55.48
to defeat you and a
lot times this always
00:15:55.49\00:15:58.20
wasn't the devil, it
just you know I choose.
00:15:58.21\00:16:00.13
Yeah that's true
you have a choice devil
00:16:00.14\00:16:02.71
can't make you do
anything. He just tempts
00:16:02.72\00:16:05.60
you and the flesh
sometimes wants to do
00:16:05.61\00:16:08.43
these things and so
we make wrong choices
00:16:08.44\00:16:11.36
and wrong decision,
the devil doesn't care
00:16:11.37\00:16:13.47
as long as we're disobedient to
00:16:13.48\00:16:16.37
God's word. So
there is something to say
00:16:16.38\00:16:19.27
about obedience, in
the world we live in,
00:16:19.28\00:16:21.84
they start
crying foul when you say
00:16:21.85\00:16:24.31
we need to be
obedient to God's rules,
00:16:24.32\00:16:26.75
his regulations, his
law. Why? Why is it that
00:16:26.76\00:16:33.55
we have such problem?
As the Bible has said,
00:16:33.56\00:16:37.32
the accusing power
of Satan he has that
00:16:37.33\00:16:40.51
he is Accuser of the Brethren,
00:16:40.52\00:16:41.85
but how can it be
broken. Oh it's simple
00:16:41.86\00:16:45.29
Bible passage, I'm
going to turn my Bible,
00:16:45.30\00:16:47.10
and you do it too if you, in the
00:16:47.11\00:16:48.28
New Testament in
the Book of John.
00:16:48.29\00:16:50.30
This is probably the most quoted
00:16:50.31\00:16:52.16
in the Bible, but
how much sense it makes
00:16:52.17\00:16:55.16
and how that it
answers the question that
00:16:55.17\00:16:58.05
we're talking about
here. In the Book of
00:16:58.06\00:17:00.14
John we're going
to go to chapter 3.
00:17:00.15\00:17:02.35
John chapter 3,
there are several verses
00:17:02.36\00:17:05.33
but I'm just, because
of time we're just gonna
00:17:05.34\00:17:07.12
concentrate just
on a couple. John 3,
00:17:07.13\00:17:09.45
the Bible says here
in verses 14 and so on,
00:17:09.46\00:17:12.73
it says, as Moses
lifted up the serpent
00:17:12.74\00:17:16.16
in the wilderness,
even so the Son of Man
00:17:16.17\00:17:19.81
must be lifted up, then
the Bible goes on to say
00:17:19.82\00:17:24.17
that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish
00:17:24.18\00:17:27.54
but have eternal
life. And then probably
00:17:27.55\00:17:30.70
the most passage,
scripture that everybody
00:17:30.71\00:17:33.93
knows. John 3 what?
You see it written on side
00:17:33.94\00:17:37.60
of the road in different places,
00:17:37.61\00:17:38.69
many license plates, John 3:16,
00:17:38.70\00:17:41.38
'cause we're talking
about the accusing power
00:17:41.39\00:17:44.23
of the devil has to be broken,
00:17:44.24\00:17:46.12
how can it be
broken. Something you can do
00:17:46.13\00:17:48.07
something that
you could pay for,
00:17:48.08\00:17:49.18
something you can
get, no here it is.
00:17:49.19\00:17:50.90
"For God so loved
the world that he gave
00:17:52.07\00:17:54.07
his only begotten
Son, that whosoever
00:17:54.08\00:17:56.37
believeth in him
should not perish,
00:17:56.38\00:17:59.23
but have everlasting
life."There is no way
00:17:59.24\00:18:04.35
to break the power
of Satan other than
00:18:04.36\00:18:07.63
the name of Jesus.
This is where its at
00:18:07.64\00:18:11.01
and the devil doesn't
want us to behold Jesus,
00:18:11.02\00:18:13.75
because he knows
that breaks his back,
00:18:13.76\00:18:15.94
that breaks his
power, whosoever, anyone who
00:18:15.95\00:18:22.28
believes in me
shall not perish but have
00:18:22.29\00:18:23.97
everlasting life
and in believing in him
00:18:23.98\00:18:26.83
we also willing to
be what? Obedient to him
00:18:26.84\00:18:30.73
not just say why
you say I just believe
00:18:30.74\00:18:33.06
now the Bible
says, the devil believe
00:18:33.07\00:18:34.71
and tremble,
they're not going to heaven.
00:18:34.72\00:18:36.48
Don't think you're
going to go to heaven
00:18:36.49\00:18:38.30
in disobedience
and just by believing,
00:18:38.31\00:18:40.34
it's a word that
denotes that we need to be
00:18:41.28\00:18:43.35
some action
involved in believing Him,
00:18:43.36\00:18:46.92
that we need to
follow him and be obedient
00:18:46.93\00:18:49.22
to him. If you're
jotting them down,
00:18:49.23\00:18:51.92
read Galatians 6:14
and also Hebrews 9:22,
00:18:51.93\00:18:56.37
because it gives
the answer of the power
00:18:56.38\00:18:59.34
that can break the
enemy that has broken him
00:18:59.35\00:19:01.97
and certainly
that is Jesus Christ,
00:19:01.98\00:19:04.53
that's
encouraging. If we just dissect
00:19:04.54\00:19:07.11
just a little bit,
if you let me do that,
00:19:07.12\00:19:09.50
John 3:14, said
Moses lifted up what?
00:19:09.51\00:19:13.49
The serpent in the wilderness.
00:19:13.50\00:19:15.54
Remember that the
death of Jesus Christ
00:19:16.63\00:19:19.02
on the cross, what
happened to the enemy,
00:19:19.03\00:19:21.35
was his power broken,
we have to realize that
00:19:22.55\00:19:27.29
Calvary as we see
Calvary the Cross of
00:19:27.30\00:19:29.23
Calvary is our
only hope in this world.
00:19:29.24\00:19:32.51
This is our only hope
is the Cross of Calvary
00:19:34.10\00:19:36.89
and its theme is
so great and so that
00:19:36.90\00:19:41.10
we can't even
comprehend its going to be our
00:19:41.11\00:19:43.55
theme through the
ceaseless ages as the
00:19:43.56\00:19:45.46
Cross of
Calvary. We'll be learning
00:19:45.47\00:19:47.96
more and more and
more and more than a 1000s
00:19:47.97\00:19:49.98
and millions of
years, we still never feel
00:19:49.99\00:19:52.58
eons of times, never ever really
00:19:52.59\00:19:54.55
oh we understand
all there is to know
00:19:54.56\00:19:56.36
about Calvary that's how great.
00:19:56.37\00:19:59.27
Oh! You think
you know what Calvary
00:19:59.28\00:20:01.19
because someone
was nailed to a cross.
00:20:01.20\00:20:02.55
You don't
realize, I do not realize
00:20:02.56\00:20:04.35
what was given
up, what Jesus gave up
00:20:04.36\00:20:06.82
in the courts of
heaven to come down here
00:20:06.83\00:20:09.01
and to live this life
among men, to be a man.
00:20:09.02\00:20:11.21
Go through all the
tests and the trials
00:20:11.22\00:20:15.81
and the devils, demons
of hell everyone of them
00:20:15.82\00:20:18.22
was against him.
So thankful he was
00:20:18.23\00:20:20.85
victorious, because I failed
00:20:20.86\00:20:22.15
and I need somebody victorious,
00:20:22.16\00:20:23.79
only Jesus could be
that for me how about you?
00:20:23.80\00:20:25.86
His answer John 3:15
we simply said whosoever
00:20:25.87\00:20:30.98
believe in him
should not perish,
00:20:30.99\00:20:32.50
so we must realize
as Christ died upon
00:20:33.57\00:20:35.40
the cross the
destruction of the enemy
00:20:35.41\00:20:37.90
was made sure.
When Jesus died what?
00:20:37.91\00:20:40.46
The destruction of
the enemy was made sure.
00:20:40.47\00:20:43.73
There is no use to
doubt and say well I'm
00:20:43.74\00:20:45.40
not sure what took
place, it was they say,
00:20:45.41\00:20:47.55
nail in the coffin of the devil.
00:20:47.56\00:20:48.98
Jesus died upon
the cross, he died for
00:20:50.37\00:20:52.68
my sins, how
about yours. His blood
00:20:52.69\00:20:54.99
was shed so that it
might be whiter than
00:20:55.00\00:20:57.19
snow Praise God for
that and some good news
00:20:57.20\00:21:01.11
that atonement will
never ever need to be
00:21:01.12\00:21:03.65
repeated again. Once
is appoint at the time.
00:21:03.66\00:21:07.29
One time to die on
the Cross of Calvary
00:21:07.30\00:21:09.65
and friends that's
it. He's our security
00:21:09.66\00:21:13.21
not only in this life
but in the life to come.
00:21:13.22\00:21:16.33
Is he your security
today, are you really
00:21:16.34\00:21:19.39
banking and counting on him.
00:21:19.40\00:21:20.82
All we need to do is
look to the Lamb of God,
00:21:21.87\00:21:26.33
by looking to the
Lamb of God we break
00:21:26.34\00:21:28.94
the power of the
enemy, but too often
00:21:28.95\00:21:32.08
we are looking
around at ourselves
00:21:32.09\00:21:33.39
and other people who can help me
00:21:33.40\00:21:34.70
what can this, what can this be,
00:21:34.71\00:21:36.04
we need to look
to the Lamb of God.
00:21:36.05\00:21:38.27
Why? Because we just read, God
00:21:39.16\00:21:40.68
so loved the
world that he gave his
00:21:40.69\00:21:43.73
only big answer
through the cross
00:21:43.74\00:21:45.75
so we are talking
about here because
00:21:45.76\00:21:48.47
if we don't break
the whole of the enemy,
00:21:48.48\00:21:50.21
he's gonna break
you. He is gonna break me,
00:21:50.22\00:21:52.33
he is trying to break the world.
00:21:52.34\00:21:53.84
Even though he
knows he is defeated
00:21:53.85\00:21:55.75
he is going to
take down as many as he
00:21:55.76\00:21:57.09
possibly can.
Cross of Calvary we can
00:21:57.10\00:22:02.66
understand that our
heavenly Father loves us
00:22:02.67\00:22:05.76
with an infinite
and everlasting love.
00:22:05.77\00:22:08.42
Not only Jesus came down here
00:22:08.43\00:22:11.09
and suffered but God
suffered with his son.
00:22:11.10\00:22:13.37
You know what the
accusations was in
00:22:14.07\00:22:16.27
heaven against God,
your enemy is saying
00:22:16.28\00:22:20.93
you know what
God doesn't know what
00:22:20.94\00:22:23.08
it's like to be
selfless, he doesn't
00:22:23.09\00:22:26.17
have to sacrifice
anything, he doesn't
00:22:26.18\00:22:28.47
give up
anything. Because the devil
00:22:28.48\00:22:33.72
is not only the
Accuser of the Brethren
00:22:33.73\00:22:35.31
but he is the accuser of God.
00:22:35.32\00:22:36.94
You say well how
does, how did this.
00:22:38.14\00:22:40.13
As we see in John 3:16
we can see very callous
00:22:40.14\00:22:44.56
words that God was
challenged by the enemy
00:22:44.57\00:22:47.98
to give up what?
To give up his son.
00:22:47.99\00:22:51.28
God so loved the world
that he gave up his son,
00:22:53.07\00:22:55.97
same cause giving up Jesus,
00:22:56.91\00:22:59.14
God had to be willing
that was a selfless act.
00:22:59.15\00:23:02.66
Mankind was
challenged 'cause Jesus said
00:23:05.03\00:23:07.68
to his disciples
in Matthew 16:24,
00:23:07.69\00:23:11.06
he said, if any
man will come after me,
00:23:11.07\00:23:13.80
do what, let him deny himself,
00:23:13.81\00:23:16.22
and take up his
cross, and do what,
00:23:16.23\00:23:18.14
and follow me.
First thing he says
00:23:18.15\00:23:20.31
that you have to deny yourself.
00:23:20.32\00:23:21.98
The devil tells you
that you don't have to deny
00:23:21.99\00:23:24.04
yourself. You can
have what you want,
00:23:24.05\00:23:26.37
you can go where
you want, you can do
00:23:26.38\00:23:28.06
what you want, you
can say what you want,
00:23:28.07\00:23:30.07
you can run with
this group, you can,
00:23:30.08\00:23:31.86
oh that's a lie of the devil.
00:23:31.87\00:23:33.44
It's a big lie of
the devil and you know
00:23:34.38\00:23:37.06
what because we
like that, little bit of
00:23:37.07\00:23:39.86
independence that
we can come and go,
00:23:39.87\00:23:41.61
as we you know,
children you know at home,
00:23:41.62\00:23:45.20
they can't wait till
they get a certain age
00:23:45.21\00:23:46.55
so they can get a life and make
00:23:46.56\00:23:49.01
their own
decisions. They can't wait
00:23:49.02\00:23:51.83
to get out, now be
careful here you know
00:23:51.84\00:23:53.78
I can't wait to
get out and make a mess
00:23:53.79\00:23:55.12
of things. Why?
Because I did it,
00:23:55.13\00:23:57.58
you probably did
it. We want to get out
00:23:57.59\00:24:00.83
on our own to be
able to say Oh! Boy,
00:24:00.84\00:24:03.16
one guy tell me one
time, I can't wait till
00:24:03.17\00:24:06.17
I get 18 or so I leave the house
00:24:06.18\00:24:08.57
and then I will,
I'll go to bed any time
00:24:08.58\00:24:12.01
I want to. Oh! Come on now,
00:24:12.02\00:24:15.77
surely life has
more important things
00:24:15.78\00:24:17.31
than that. What was his thought,
00:24:17.32\00:24:20.51
I can go to bed when I want to
00:24:20.52\00:24:22.33
and so we see here
that if Jesus challenges
00:24:24.50\00:24:27.22
if any man will come
after me the first thing
00:24:27.23\00:24:30.26
he says is you
must deny yourself.
00:24:30.27\00:24:32.89
So Jesus said to
me Kenny, you go,
00:24:33.78\00:24:36.48
if heaven's
going to be your home,
00:24:36.49\00:24:38.26
you're gonna have
to deny, deny self.
00:24:38.27\00:24:41.95
And so the enemy says
no you don't have to worry
00:24:44.12\00:24:46.68
about that he says why, Kenny,
00:24:46.69\00:24:49.07
why should you deny yourself,
00:24:49.08\00:24:50.42
the Father is
not denying his self
00:24:50.43\00:24:52.29
and if Father
doesn't deny his self
00:24:53.12\00:24:54.85
why should you deny yourself?
00:24:54.86\00:24:56.23
He's doing everything he wants,
00:24:57.37\00:24:58.84
oh boy in this
passage we can sure see that
00:25:00.11\00:25:03.03
the Father denied himself when
00:25:03.04\00:25:04.71
he was willing to give what?
00:25:04.72\00:25:05.98
To give his son.
Manuscript 2 in 1903,
00:25:05.99\00:25:14.09
now this is, just
this is just solid,
00:25:14.10\00:25:16.46
this is good. You know what,
00:25:16.47\00:25:20.73
because we find this in
and around those who are
00:25:20.74\00:25:24.28
working for
Jesus. Now when the shoe
00:25:24.29\00:25:28.23
fits you wear it. The shoe fits
00:25:28.24\00:25:32.85
I need to wear it,
those who bring self
00:25:32.86\00:25:37.72
into the work
can not be trusted.
00:25:37.73\00:25:42.80
Those who what? We
just been doing some study
00:25:43.63\00:25:46.69
on that as you
will know talking about
00:25:46.70\00:25:48.56
trusting in God, those who bring
00:25:48.57\00:25:51.34
self into what? His
work cannot be trusted.
00:25:51.35\00:25:55.71
There is too much
of self, too much of I,
00:25:57.41\00:25:59.19
too much of he,
too much this person
00:25:59.20\00:26:01.25
and that person
did this and we did,
00:26:01.26\00:26:02.73
you didn't do
anything. It was God working
00:26:02.74\00:26:06.29
in you and through
you. He opened the doors,
00:26:06.30\00:26:09.08
he paved the way,
he made it possible,
00:26:09.09\00:26:11.93
we need you to
quit saying well he did,
00:26:11.94\00:26:14.33
she did, they
did, this group did,
00:26:14.34\00:26:16.81
somebody else did over here.
00:26:16.82\00:26:18.55
He did it all, the
song says all to him I owe.
00:26:18.56\00:26:24.42
No doors could be
open up unless God opens
00:26:25.11\00:26:27.51
the door, because the
enemy will close them,
00:26:27.52\00:26:28.78
he's stronger than we
are, but we have a power
00:26:28.79\00:26:30.54
inside of us.
This is important that
00:26:30.55\00:26:32.67
we know this,
nothing is impossible
00:26:32.68\00:26:34.85
in the work of God
and yet if we bring
00:26:34.86\00:26:38.93
self into it, well
the ministry is really
00:26:38.94\00:26:44.03
flourishing because I'm in it.
00:26:44.04\00:26:45.97
You need to get
out, its not flourishing
00:26:45.98\00:26:50.78
the way it should maybe because
00:26:50.79\00:26:52.03
you are still in it.
I just want you to think
00:26:52.04\00:26:54.53
a little bit
here well God blessed
00:26:54.54\00:26:57.28
I'm in this
position, he blessed in spite
00:26:57.29\00:27:01.40
of your pathetic
message you made, I made.
00:27:01.41\00:27:03.91
See we have to come to
grips with these things
00:27:05.39\00:27:07.32
we can't be
trusted inspiration says
00:27:07.33\00:27:10.22
if they would lose here's hope,
00:27:11.14\00:27:13.68
here's hope,
here's encouragement,
00:27:13.69\00:27:15.51
if they would
lose sight of self,
00:27:15.52\00:27:18.72
focus upon Christ
their effort then would be
00:27:20.44\00:27:25.04
a value to his cause.
See regardless of what
00:27:25.05\00:27:28.55
people say oh! This
is big, this is great,
00:27:28.56\00:27:30.42
great things are happening,
00:27:30.43\00:27:31.54
God he doesn't even approve it,
00:27:31.55\00:27:33.76
if self is in the
work. As many times
00:27:33.77\00:27:37.86
as we've studied
before and you have studied,
00:27:37.87\00:27:39.65
as Israel, they won
battles and pretty soon
00:27:39.66\00:27:43.40
the next day we
did it all, next battle
00:27:43.41\00:27:46.89
they went into
they were defeated
00:27:46.90\00:27:48.41
they were mopped up
on. Did it have to be
00:27:48.42\00:27:51.70
that way, but God
says I will accept
00:27:51.71\00:27:55.19
your ministry, your
work if self was out of it
00:27:55.20\00:27:59.42
and you rely totally upon me.
00:27:59.43\00:28:02.17
Self denial,
humility of mine, nobility of
00:28:02.18\00:28:06.56
purpose marked
the savior's life.
00:28:06.57\00:28:09.20
We are to imitate
Jesus, not some ministry,
00:28:10.03\00:28:13.90
not some pastor,
not some preacher,
00:28:13.91\00:28:15.78
not some evangelist,
oh! I want to be like him,
00:28:15.79\00:28:18.41
no I don't want to
be like any earthly man.
00:28:18.42\00:28:20.23
My goal it is to be like what?
00:28:21.08\00:28:22.56
It is to be like
Jesus. It seem like
00:28:22.57\00:28:24.32
such a far cry,
makes your heart just ache
00:28:24.33\00:28:27.31
sometime and hurt
because we're so weak
00:28:27.32\00:28:28.86
and so vacillating,
but don't get discouraged,
00:28:28.87\00:28:31.51
keep your eyes on
Jesus. When you make a mistake
00:28:31.52\00:28:34.73
go to God and say,
I made this mistake,
00:28:34.74\00:28:36.64
I said this, I thought
this I should have done,
00:28:36.65\00:28:38.55
God forgive me.
Help me to be strong,
00:28:38.56\00:28:40.54
in the ministry we
think well we're being blessed
00:28:40.55\00:28:43.07
because I'm in it oh!
Get yourself out of it
00:28:43.08\00:28:45.07
and watch what God
can do. Here behold
00:28:45.08\00:28:47.33
the lamb, we want to do that,
00:28:47.34\00:28:48.31
we need to do that,
we desire to do that,
00:28:48.32\00:28:50.13
has nothing to do
with us. We're saying
00:28:50.14\00:28:52.68
walls torn down,
we're seeing petitions
00:28:52.69\00:28:55.73
that are broken,
we're seeing the hand of God
00:28:55.74\00:28:58.90
work mildly in
spite of us, in spite of
00:28:58.91\00:29:02.92
other people,
people that should be maybe
00:29:02.93\00:29:05.24
shouldering up with
you, people that should be an
00:29:05.25\00:29:07.36
encouragement with
you, people they should be
00:29:07.37\00:29:09.03
praying with.
They're trying to discourage
00:29:09.04\00:29:12.93
other people,
they're causing a stain
00:29:12.94\00:29:16.33
in the cause of of
Christ. They're causing
00:29:16.34\00:29:18.82
a commotion in the
world when God's last day
00:29:18.83\00:29:21.14
moment should be
shoulder to shoulder,
00:29:21.15\00:29:23.94
working together
for the cause of Christ.
00:29:23.95\00:29:25.71
Up on that pillar,
that platform of truth.
00:29:25.72\00:29:28.66
Most important
is that we have the
00:29:31.66\00:29:33.57
unity of spirit,
but self has to go
00:29:33.58\00:29:38.72
in the work. So, let's answer
00:29:38.73\00:29:42.49
the question a
little, maybe a little
00:29:42.50\00:29:43.92
clearer for us, can
there be any self denial
00:29:43.93\00:29:48.07
with God, we've
somewhat answered that,
00:29:48.08\00:29:50.06
but can there be any
self denial with God.
00:29:50.07\00:29:52.21
Must there be, if
so how can we prove it.
00:29:52.99\00:29:57.82
Oh! You say well I
never thought of that before,
00:30:00.17\00:30:02.30
there must be
self denial with God.
00:30:02.31\00:30:04.83
Jesus asked me to deny self,
00:30:04.84\00:30:06.79
he denied self while
it was him, well how about
00:30:07.92\00:30:10.16
the Father. Devil said well,
00:30:10.17\00:30:12.80
the Father is not going
to, the answer is simple
00:30:12.81\00:30:14.97
that's right you are
the answer we have been
00:30:16.79\00:30:18.39
talking about, the
cross, the cross proves
00:30:18.40\00:30:22.71
beyond a shadow of
a doubt at this point,
00:30:22.72\00:30:24.83
no questions
asked about it as Christ
00:30:24.84\00:30:28.75
hung upon the
cross, giving himself
00:30:28.76\00:30:32.08
for the sins of
the world because
00:30:32.09\00:30:35.67
the Bible says
he loved us with an
00:30:35.68\00:30:38.02
everlasting
love. He loved mankind,
00:30:38.03\00:30:40.84
God had in his son
denied himself I hope
00:30:40.85\00:30:47.23
you got that. God
had in his son denied
00:30:47.24\00:30:52.44
himself you say
well I don't get it.
00:30:52.45\00:30:54.82
Why because Christ was God,
00:30:55.71\00:31:00.31
condescending
coming down to this world,
00:31:02.19\00:31:04.99
coming down in
the flesh, he assumed
00:31:05.00\00:31:07.92
humanity, the
Bible was clear on that
00:31:07.93\00:31:09.98
and he became
obedient unto death
00:31:09.99\00:31:12.33
and sure, yes,
did God deny self?
00:31:12.34\00:31:14.46
Absolutely he
did. God denied himself
00:31:14.47\00:31:18.80
and his son Jesus as
he hung upon the cross oh!
00:31:18.81\00:31:21.12
How much painful
that must have been,
00:31:21.13\00:31:22.46
how heaven must have wept,
00:31:22.47\00:31:24.09
and how we take it so lightly.
00:31:25.99\00:31:27.96
What a cost, for
somebody as miserable
00:31:29.88\00:31:34.16
and we came
vacillating as a human race.
00:31:34.17\00:31:36.12
I take it serious
when the Bible said
00:31:37.80\00:31:39.65
there is non good, no not one.
00:31:39.66\00:31:42.07
You see because if you say well
00:31:43.56\00:31:45.63
we're
righteous, you're righteous
00:31:45.64\00:31:47.60
because of the
robe of righteousness
00:31:47.61\00:31:49.31
he gives to you when you repent.
00:31:49.32\00:31:50.75
Yeah but they've
done good deeds over here,
00:31:51.72\00:31:53.50
no good deeds have you done.
00:31:53.51\00:31:55.81
No good deeds ever.
You think anything good
00:31:56.35\00:31:58.28
comes out well
its Jesus coming out.
00:31:58.29\00:32:00.43
It's all about
him, why not give him
00:32:00.44\00:32:02.77
all the credit,
and all the praise.
00:32:02.78\00:32:04.84
Self denying God,
self denying His son
00:32:04.85\00:32:08.51
and He says, I want
you first of all to deny
00:32:08.52\00:32:10.69
self, take up
the cross because you
00:32:10.70\00:32:12.72
will never take up
the Cross of Calvary
00:32:12.73\00:32:14.94
unless you're willing
to deny yourself first
00:32:14.95\00:32:16.92
because I'm
telling that there are some
00:32:16.93\00:32:18.73
difficulties lying
in there in the path
00:32:18.74\00:32:20.25
and that cross is
there I find in that
00:32:20.26\00:32:22.77
directions I go in
life, there is a cross
00:32:22.78\00:32:24.67
just before me.
Sometimes I chose to go
00:32:24.68\00:32:27.32
I wanna go around
that cross because
00:32:27.33\00:32:28.69
I don't want to
endure because it means
00:32:28.70\00:32:30.43
I can't do what
I've been wanting to do,
00:32:30.44\00:32:32.29
or its going to change
my life and I had to go
00:32:32.30\00:32:34.68
around it and so I
tried to get over here
00:32:34.69\00:32:36.43
and then all of
sudden it stood in front of
00:32:36.44\00:32:38.49
me again. I'm going
to have to come to grips
00:32:38.50\00:32:41.55
with that because
that's the way to heaven
00:32:41.56\00:32:43.13
for me, how about you.
You can't get around it,
00:32:43.14\00:32:47.05
you can't change it,
God will put it there again
00:32:47.06\00:32:49.04
until you finally say
I don't want it anymore
00:32:49.05\00:32:50.93
oh! Friend then you're hopeless,
00:32:51.78\00:32:53.78
you're a hopeless
cause. God's encouraging
00:32:53.79\00:32:57.58
his people today,
Calvary has silenced
00:32:57.59\00:33:03.12
the answer to the
question the charge is
00:33:03.13\00:33:05.93
self denial possible with God.
00:33:05.94\00:33:08.56
Was it impossible to God no,
00:33:11.59\00:33:14.12
because the devil
said if it was not possible
00:33:15.89\00:33:19.22
for God then it would
not be essential for us.
00:33:19.23\00:33:23.55
Isn't that interesting,
whatever Jesus has said,
00:33:25.43\00:33:28.92
deny self take up, the devil's
00:33:28.93\00:33:31.27
counterfeit is
what. Well you don't have
00:33:31.28\00:33:33.55
to be self denial,
you hear people in there,
00:33:33.56\00:33:37.45
they committed
crime, just doing all
00:33:37.46\00:33:38.82
kind of things in
the world. For instance,
00:33:38.83\00:33:40.61
well I never got this
when I was growing up,
00:33:40.62\00:33:43.50
I never had that everybody was
00:33:43.51\00:33:45.45
ugly to me,
everybody that may be true
00:33:45.46\00:33:47.61
but if you invite
Jesus into your heart
00:33:47.62\00:33:50.43
into your life,
all of those old things
00:33:50.44\00:33:52.86
become new you're
a changed individual.
00:33:52.87\00:33:55.10
I've often said,
you say well I was born
00:33:55.11\00:33:57.62
this way, well you know what,
00:33:57.63\00:33:58.81
you need to be born again then.
00:33:58.82\00:34:00.04
Why because you
start to love those things
00:34:05.65\00:34:08.06
that you hated and
the things that you,
00:34:08.07\00:34:09.49
you know you
hated, you began to love
00:34:09.50\00:34:11.94
and things you
love you begin to hate
00:34:11.95\00:34:13.38
and your life
just changes totally,
00:34:13.39\00:34:15.58
when you fall in
love with Jesus Christ
00:34:16.46\00:34:18.51
and have that
peace that passes all
00:34:18.52\00:34:19.78
understanding.
Reading a little book called
00:34:19.79\00:34:22.85
9 Testimonies 183
I made this comment,
00:34:22.86\00:34:25.43
Everyone who
enters the pearly gates,
00:34:25.44\00:34:28.50
see I get excited
about that because it talked
00:34:28.51\00:34:31.02
about the pearly
gates, talking about
00:34:31.03\00:34:33.04
going to heaven. So,
I want you to be excited
00:34:33.05\00:34:35.90
about that too. You
know I just can't say
00:34:35.91\00:34:39.16
well you're
getting a little excited
00:34:39.17\00:34:40.14
about that, you
know I just cannot
00:34:40.15\00:34:41.60
stand up here and
say now when we enter
00:34:41.61\00:34:43.50
the pearly gate.
That maybe alright for
00:34:43.51\00:34:45.30
somebody else,
that's not my character,
00:34:45.31\00:34:47.14
if you're going to
enter the pearly gates
00:34:47.15\00:34:49.81
of the city of God, you
will enter into the city
00:34:49.82\00:34:53.03
of God as a
conqueror. That's beautiful,
00:34:53.04\00:34:57.51
everyone, every
individual who enters
00:34:57.52\00:35:00.16
the pearly gates
of God will enter
00:35:00.17\00:35:02.28
in as a conqueror. Oh I hope
00:35:02.29\00:35:04.77
you're excited about that.
00:35:04.78\00:35:06.46
Now let me just
finish with this,
00:35:07.92\00:35:10.93
this part I want
you to listen carefully.
00:35:12.07\00:35:13.72
Though you say well
I've repeat it twice,
00:35:15.02\00:35:16.53
I may repeat it three times,
00:35:16.54\00:35:17.72
in fact I may just
go till time runs out
00:35:17.73\00:35:19.50
because I'm excited about this.
00:35:19.51\00:35:20.92
Everyone who enters
the city of God will enter
00:35:21.73\00:35:23.60
as a what? As a conqueror,
00:35:23.61\00:35:26.39
Praise God for that.
Now his greatest conquest
00:35:26.40\00:35:31.80
will have been, come on in here,
00:35:33.32\00:35:35.36
the greatest conquest that
00:35:36.70\00:35:38.52
he has had is over
himself, is over self.
00:35:38.53\00:35:44.15
I'm talking about the enemy,
00:35:46.80\00:35:47.77
is one I'm talking
about, you go to heaven
00:35:47.78\00:35:50.81
you're going as the conqueror,
00:35:50.82\00:35:52.65
and the biggest
conquest and the biggest
00:35:53.13\00:35:54.99
victory that you're
going to have is over self.
00:35:55.00\00:35:58.82
That's why Jesus,
that's why he said it first,
00:35:59.69\00:36:02.14
deny self. I know you're
willing to do that today,
00:36:02.98\00:36:07.03
victory over
self, victory over sin,
00:36:07.62\00:36:10.95
what a struggle. I
think of my whole life,
00:36:11.67\00:36:15.97
if somebody is
thinking about yours today
00:36:15.98\00:36:17.48
how painful it is at
times. How discouraging, why?
00:36:17.49\00:36:25.59
Oh because we see
our deformities in
00:36:28.16\00:36:31.89
our characters, we
don't like to see those
00:36:31.90\00:36:34.68
deformities, we
don't like to see why
00:36:34.69\00:36:35.91
we need some changes
and then what happens,
00:36:35.92\00:36:39.16
when we get
discouraged here's what happens.
00:36:39.17\00:36:40.90
Now look to Jesus I
see some deformities
00:36:40.91\00:36:43.22
in me that need to be changed,
00:36:43.23\00:36:45.15
and then I start
looking at those deformities
00:36:46.28\00:36:48.20
and I keep looking
at those deformities
00:36:48.74\00:36:50.74
and I keep looking
at them, I keep focusing
00:36:50.75\00:36:53.11
on them and
presume I say there is no
00:36:53.12\00:36:54.62
help for me, what
is the problem here.
00:36:54.63\00:36:57.69
Once we see those
deformities we must take
00:37:00.29\00:37:02.48
our eyes off of
what? Good self and begin
00:37:02.49\00:37:05.60
to look to Jesus who
is the remedy for these
00:37:05.61\00:37:09.72
deformities. He is the victor,
00:37:09.73\00:37:12.22
he gives power
to gain the victory.
00:37:12.88\00:37:14.91
I hear people say
oh! I read the Bible
00:37:15.37\00:37:17.54
and listen here, be
careful, reading the Bible
00:37:17.55\00:37:20.45
it depresses me. I
read spirit of prophecy
00:37:20.46\00:37:24.22
books oh! I get depressed, why?
00:37:24.23\00:37:26.06
Because I see so
many things wrong with me,
00:37:27.74\00:37:29.88
well start praising
God, see something wrong
00:37:30.32\00:37:32.57
is not going to go
heaven but you're not
00:37:32.58\00:37:34.45
to keep looking at those things,
00:37:34.46\00:37:36.12
you are to submit
them to Jesus Christ.
00:37:36.13\00:37:38.75
He will give
you the victory over
00:37:39.99\00:37:41.79
those things, don't be
afraid of those things.
00:37:41.80\00:37:45.17
Thank you Lord for showing me,
00:37:45.76\00:37:48.11
see we're born again
Christian when new truth
00:37:48.74\00:37:51.55
is given to them,
they're gonna cry out oh!
00:37:51.56\00:37:54.92
This is good. This
is good, I was believing
00:37:54.93\00:37:58.60
something over here
the Bible really teaches
00:37:58.61\00:38:00.40
something different,
I'm thankful for that,
00:38:00.41\00:38:02.83
thank you Lord and
so was our deformities
00:38:02.84\00:38:05.91
and our pits and
our character exposed,
00:38:05.92\00:38:08.72
we need to be
thanking God for that.
00:38:08.73\00:38:10.30
Don't make it so
painful, all you do is dwell
00:38:11.76\00:38:13.47
on those things,
well on Jesus Christ
00:38:13.48\00:38:15.22
if I be lifted up
draw them all to me.
00:38:15.23\00:38:17.80
We need to be
breaking the power of the
00:38:18.56\00:38:20.65
enemy and that is
simply by, simply looking
00:38:20.66\00:38:23.21
to Jesus who is the
author and the finish
00:38:23.22\00:38:26.02
of our faith. Are
you looking to him today,
00:38:26.03\00:38:28.00
or you sitting around
being mourning because
00:38:28.01\00:38:29.83
you don't have what you want.
00:38:29.84\00:38:31.02
I do, I hope
I'm stirring you up,
00:38:35.40\00:38:36.86
I want you to get
excited, just prove it
00:38:38.36\00:38:41.43
from the word of God, just prove
00:38:41.44\00:38:43.29
what I'm talking
about. Here is the simple
00:38:43.30\00:38:46.49
answer you don't
have to go to the doctor,
00:38:46.50\00:38:48.95
you don't have
to have medication,
00:38:48.96\00:38:50.31
you don't have to
be set yourself away
00:38:50.32\00:38:52.24
from everybody for six months.
00:38:52.25\00:38:53.44
You take your mind off of self,
00:38:55.10\00:38:56.56
and begin to look
to Jesus, begin to get
00:38:56.57\00:38:58.30
in his word,
spend sometime praying,
00:38:58.31\00:39:00.12
start doing
something for somebody else
00:39:00.13\00:39:01.97
beside yourself or
you watch your life change
00:39:01.98\00:39:04.50
it will change.
Everyone of us can go
00:39:04.51\00:39:07.47
in a corner and sit
down, throw up our hands
00:39:07.48\00:39:09.02
and scream, we
choose not to do that,
00:39:09.03\00:39:12.44
don't you. Today
you're going to say,
00:39:12.45\00:39:13.61
that's my last day
of sitting in the corner
00:39:13.62\00:39:15.31
screaming and
crying. I'm committing myself
00:39:15.32\00:39:18.17
to Jesus, I'm
going to look him out,
00:39:18.18\00:39:19.42
I've got
deformities, things are not
00:39:19.43\00:39:20.51
going well, but
God's gonna help me.
00:39:20.52\00:39:24.08
I'm gonna cast my care on him.
00:39:25.39\00:39:27.56
Why don't you do that
today, it all that takes
00:39:29.03\00:39:31.35
that's right,
God I need some help.
00:39:31.36\00:39:32.70
Deformities of
character is just too much,
00:39:33.08\00:39:34.82
I got so many things
but God you can help me,
00:39:34.83\00:39:36.88
be what I need to be. I
want to repopulate heaven.
00:39:36.89\00:39:39.63
Let me ask you a question.
00:39:42.02\00:39:42.99
How is the only way
that Satan can obtain
00:39:43.30\00:39:46.30
power over
mankind. And I'm gonna hurry
00:39:46.31\00:39:48.45
right along here
now. How is the only way
00:39:48.46\00:39:52.75
that Satan can
gain power over mankind.
00:39:52.76\00:39:56.76
Now that's covering
a lot here isn't it,
00:39:57.20\00:39:59.63
you want to know that don't you.
00:40:00.14\00:40:01.61
How is the only,
how can he do this.
00:40:02.05\00:40:04.36
I read this in 5
Testimonies, 470,
00:40:04.96\00:40:07.24
it says only way
the devil can do is only
00:40:07.25\00:40:10.87
through the transgression
of God's law can he have
00:40:10.88\00:40:15.22
power over them or over us.
00:40:15.23\00:40:17.74
The only way the
devil can have power
00:40:19.05\00:40:20.80
over me and over
you is if he gets us to
00:40:20.81\00:40:24.24
transgress his
Ten Commandment law
00:40:24.25\00:40:27.61
that's why the
world, the religious world
00:40:27.62\00:40:29.92
is teaching you
don't had to keep them
00:40:29.93\00:40:31.03
anymore, devil's
working isn't he.
00:40:31.04\00:40:32.79
Because he knows he
can get you to transgress
00:40:35.31\00:40:37.18
those and you
know you transgress,
00:40:37.19\00:40:38.54
he's got you, he's
got you in his power,
00:40:38.55\00:40:40.61
got you in the
grasp, but he's never gonna
00:40:40.62\00:40:42.95
let you go, unless
God comes into heart
00:40:42.96\00:40:45.16
and your life. The
only one that can free
00:40:45.17\00:40:47.26
you from that grip
is yeah but God's law
00:40:47.27\00:40:50.64
we're talking about sin,
00:40:50.98\00:40:51.95
sin separates us
from God? Sin separates us
00:40:52.61\00:40:57.42
from God and
separation from God you see
00:40:57.43\00:41:02.38
that the enemy
can come in and what
00:41:02.39\00:41:04.44
does he do. He
started separating from God,
00:41:04.45\00:41:07.59
the enemy comes
in, he sets up shop,
00:41:08.02\00:41:09.83
in other words he
says I'm coming in,
00:41:11.23\00:41:12.51
I'm gonna stay in
here. I'm not gonna
00:41:12.52\00:41:15.12
let him go by sin,
they understand what
00:41:15.13\00:41:18.54
it is they're doing
wrong and I've set up
00:41:18.55\00:41:20.44
shop and I'm going to stay.
00:41:20.45\00:41:21.92
He plans on staying
for life and you know
00:41:22.32\00:41:25.60
what he says, I have
a right, does the enemy
00:41:25.61\00:41:29.08
have a right. Yeah, if you know
00:41:29.09\00:41:30.95
you've been sinning,
that's exactly right.
00:41:30.96\00:41:32.55
You know that's
the right thing to do
00:41:32.56\00:41:34.25
and you're doing
just the opposite,
00:41:34.26\00:41:35.80
he has the right to
come in and set up shop.
00:41:35.81\00:41:37.96
And he's going to
use you like an old dirty
00:41:38.80\00:41:40.98
dish rag. Anyway
he wants to use you,
00:41:40.99\00:41:43.80
now must get down
to the nitty gritty.
00:41:47.13\00:41:50.69
First John 3:4,
the Bible says this,
00:41:50.70\00:41:52.57
Whosoever commit
sin transgresseth what?
00:41:53.23\00:41:56.57
The law, for sin is the
transgression of God's law.
00:41:57.00\00:42:01.67
Please pay
special attention to this,
00:42:03.00\00:42:05.49
Whosoever committed
what? Sin, whosoever
00:42:06.04\00:42:10.48
committed sin,
transgresseth the what?
00:42:10.49\00:42:12.52
The law: This is the
only biblical definition
00:42:12.93\00:42:18.67
of what sin is.
Remember sin separates us,
00:42:18.68\00:42:21.82
sin gets the
biblical right to come
00:42:22.19\00:42:23.54
and set up shop.
00:42:23.55\00:42:24.56
That's funny how
religious leaders in the world,
00:42:24.92\00:42:26.97
they don't want to
talk about sin as a
00:42:26.98\00:42:28.79
transgression of
God's love, you know
00:42:28.80\00:42:30.37
why they can't, because
they're saying God's law
00:42:30.38\00:42:32.72
is done away with.
How can you get the
00:42:32.73\00:42:35.99
only biblical
definition of what sin is,
00:42:36.00\00:42:38.13
but yet the
preachers have the audacity
00:42:38.50\00:42:40.40
to get into the
pulpit and what they do.
00:42:40.41\00:42:41.73
Oh I tell you,
well sins got to go,
00:42:42.36\00:42:43.82
we've got to go,
that's true but dear
00:42:43.83\00:42:45.99
friends what is
sin? It's a transgression
00:42:46.00\00:42:48.28
of God's love, you
can't say sins got to go
00:42:48.29\00:42:50.09
and God's law is gone.
00:42:50.10\00:42:51.41
There is no harmony
there, I say wow boy
00:42:53.28\00:42:57.62
you know, First
John 3:8, the Bible says,
00:42:57.63\00:43:00.81
He that. Oh oh,
now some of you are not
00:43:00.82\00:43:02.87
going to get this.
He that committeth sin
00:43:02.88\00:43:05.78
is of the devil;
he that committeth sin
00:43:05.79\00:43:11.36
is of the devil,
for the devil sinneth
00:43:11.37\00:43:15.72
from what good,
from the beginning.
00:43:16.08\00:43:19.35
And for this
purpose the Son of God
00:43:20.18\00:43:22.25
was manifested,
that he might destroy
00:43:22.26\00:43:24.89
the works of the
devil. Why did Jesus have
00:43:24.90\00:43:29.23
to come down here? To do what?
00:43:29.24\00:43:31.51
Good, that's exactly.
Son of man was manifested
00:43:32.09\00:43:35.75
that he might destroy
the works of the devil,
00:43:35.76\00:43:38.37
all for what? For sin.
Sin is the transgression
00:43:38.38\00:43:41.40
of God's law.
Friend, it just makes good
00:43:41.41\00:43:44.06
sense to me, how about you,
00:43:44.07\00:43:45.42
lets weight it out
here. It makes good sense
00:43:45.43\00:43:49.47
to realize you know if
God's love is still binding.
00:43:49.48\00:43:52.97
It was binding when Jesus came,
00:43:54.53\00:43:56.10
it's binding when he
was dead and resurrected
00:43:56.11\00:43:58.45
and went back to
heaven and still is because
00:43:58.46\00:44:00.24
sin is still an
issue. You wouldn't know
00:44:00.25\00:44:02.54
what sin is if it
wasn't for the love.
00:44:02.55\00:44:03.92
And Jesus died on
the cross for what?
00:44:06.36\00:44:08.53
Good,
transgression, right, somebody,
00:44:09.50\00:44:13.71
they broke the law,
we did. Jesus didn't
00:44:13.72\00:44:16.83
but we broke God's
law, if his law could
00:44:16.90\00:44:19.88
have been changed,
those Ten Commandments,
00:44:19.89\00:44:21.81
Christ would not have
had to die on Calvary.
00:44:21.82\00:44:24.57
There is no way
he would have to die,
00:44:25.15\00:44:26.78
if God could change
that but he couldn't change.
00:44:27.13\00:44:29.15
What went out of his mouth
00:44:31.67\00:44:32.64
he cannot change or alter.
00:44:32.65\00:44:33.72
And so Jesus came
down here to die showing
00:44:35.19\00:44:37.11
that you cannot
do away with God's
00:44:37.12\00:44:39.03
Ten Commandments and
I mean all ten of them.
00:44:39.04\00:44:40.84
You say wow! Boy, I
tell you I don't know.
00:44:41.85\00:44:44.05
We need a savior
because we've broken God's law.
00:44:46.12\00:44:48.81
We need Jesus
Christ, this is gonna break
00:44:51.99\00:44:53.87
the power of the
enemy because it could not
00:44:53.88\00:44:58.94
be changed, it
demanded the death of
00:44:58.95\00:45:01.42
Jesus Christ. Why?
Bible is clear Romans 6:23
00:45:01.43\00:45:04.66
the wages of sin is
what? The wages of sin
00:45:04.67\00:45:07.45
is death, without
the shedding of blood
00:45:07.46\00:45:10.44
there could be what?
Good, no remission of sin.
00:45:10.45\00:45:12.73
Jesus had to again
what, because of the
00:45:13.31\00:45:15.03
Ten Commandment law
we transgresseth it,
00:45:15.04\00:45:17.91
he had to come, he
had to prepare a way
00:45:17.92\00:45:20.19
because there
was no hope for us,
00:45:20.20\00:45:21.65
without we're helpless.
You remember us talking
00:45:21.66\00:45:23.72
about that, we're
helpless without Jesus.
00:45:23.73\00:45:25.48
I think people had
the, may I say audacity,
00:45:26.66\00:45:29.46
may be the confusion,
may be not even realizing
00:45:30.11\00:45:33.26
or knowing. People
say well we know Adventist
00:45:33.27\00:45:36.99
folks while they think
they're safe by keeping
00:45:37.00\00:45:39.32
God's law, that's not true.
00:45:39.33\00:45:40.52
God's Ten
Commandment law does not save
00:45:40.98\00:45:43.75
you by keeping it.
God's Ten Commandment
00:45:43.91\00:45:46.10
law points what
sin is, have you read
00:45:46.11\00:45:49.12
that lately, Romans
3:20, well try that one
00:45:49.13\00:45:52.33
and then try
Romans 7:7, it's for what,
00:45:52.34\00:45:58.18
by the law is
the knowledge of sin.
00:45:58.19\00:46:02.33
Wow, so the law
then just tells me what,
00:46:04.51\00:46:07.39
Ten Commandments, what sin is,
00:46:07.73\00:46:09.16
and it's very
interesting here as you read
00:46:10.47\00:46:12.25
Romans 4:15 and
also Romans 5:13,
00:46:12.26\00:46:16.39
it tells us that
sin is not imputed then
00:46:16.83\00:46:20.20
it goes to saying,
listen very carefully,
00:46:20.21\00:46:21.61
where no law is,
there is no transgression.
00:46:21.62\00:46:24.92
So, if the law is
done away with then
00:46:25.35\00:46:28.25
there is no transgression.
You may do as you want to.
00:46:28.26\00:46:31.47
Now, are you saying
the law is done away with,
00:46:32.20\00:46:34.14
people saying
that we're on the law.
00:46:34.15\00:46:35.36
Well you're not on
the law until you break
00:46:36.10\00:46:37.44
it then you are. If
there is no law then
00:46:37.45\00:46:40.61
there is no sin and
it pertains to all ten,
00:46:40.62\00:46:43.62
do you believe
that? Sure, it does,
00:46:43.63\00:46:45.14
remember its all or
nothing. You say well
00:46:45.64\00:46:47.97
I'm not so sure
about that. How about
00:46:47.98\00:46:50.02
James 2:10, Bible is very clear,
00:46:50.03\00:46:52.44
For whosoever
shall keep the whole law
00:46:52.45\00:46:54.10
and yet offend in one point,
00:46:54.11\00:46:56.28
he is guilty of
all. And some people
00:46:56.29\00:47:00.63
make excuses, well
we're not sure what
00:47:00.64\00:47:02.37
to talk about. Verse
11 talks about killing,
00:47:02.38\00:47:05.13
it talks about adultery,
you think it's not talking
00:47:05.14\00:47:07.79
about the Ten Commandments
00:47:07.80\00:47:08.77
yes it is, Verse 12 says this.
00:47:08.78\00:47:10.18
So speak ye and so
do, as they that shall be
00:47:10.88\00:47:14.91
judged by the law of liberty.
00:47:14.92\00:47:16.89
Why is it that the
world says oh! Keeping
00:47:17.31\00:47:20.06
the Ten Commandments its
just as, like the bondage,
00:47:20.07\00:47:22.07
it just puts me in bondage.
00:47:22.08\00:47:23.56
The devil's got you in bondage,
00:47:24.09\00:47:25.96
the devil binds
you up, not Jesus.
00:47:26.38\00:47:28.60
My Bible I read here
it says here you shall be
00:47:28.99\00:47:31.71
so speak ye and so
do as they that will be
00:47:31.72\00:47:35.41
judged by the
perfect law of liberty.
00:47:35.42\00:47:37.64
It's the law of liberty,
it points out what sin is,
00:47:38.56\00:47:41.59
it doesn't cure me
from that but it drives me
00:47:41.60\00:47:43.76
to Jesus and I can
ask him for forgiveness,
00:47:43.77\00:47:47.04
then this is so
simple as we look at it,
00:47:48.07\00:47:50.73
we study it. It's
a sure thing today,
00:47:50.74\00:47:54.45
we're not saved
by keeping the law.
00:47:54.46\00:47:57.62
The law simply identifies
or points out what sin is,
00:47:59.61\00:48:03.91
that's all. You
can't do away with that
00:48:03.92\00:48:07.91
we would know what
sin, we wouldn't know
00:48:07.92\00:48:09.62
right or wrong and
that's why the country's
00:48:09.63\00:48:11.55
in the mess that
it's in, because they keep
00:48:11.56\00:48:14.32
trying to shove it
out, we don't know,
00:48:14.33\00:48:15.62
we don't know what's wrong.
00:48:15.63\00:48:16.60
It's very simple, we
have problems in this country,
00:48:16.61\00:48:19.36
big time problems
because we're trying to take
00:48:19.37\00:48:21.77
God's love away from
it. Ten little precept,
00:48:21.78\00:48:24.15
ten little gas. Thou
shall, thou shall not,
00:48:24.16\00:48:27.39
and we won't heed them why?
00:48:28.63\00:48:29.70
Because the devil
doesn't want us to,
00:48:29.71\00:48:30.81
because the only way
that the enemy can get
00:48:33.23\00:48:34.75
to us is get to
what? Get us to transgress
00:48:34.76\00:48:37.35
God's love or sin.
00:48:37.36\00:48:39.83
We're talking
about breaking the power
00:48:42.63\00:48:44.15
of the enemy here.
00:48:44.16\00:48:45.45
Purpose of the
law shows that we miss
00:48:48.51\00:48:50.51
the mark and if
you miss the mark then
00:48:50.52\00:48:52.98
we need to comeback
and ask God for what?
00:48:52.99\00:48:54.50
For help.
Drives us to the cross,
00:48:54.51\00:48:58.41
that we may ask for forgiveness
00:48:59.56\00:49:01.80
and for grace and
for those who are saying
00:49:01.81\00:49:04.30
you know biblical
definition, let's do that
00:49:04.31\00:49:07.30
shall we, Ephesians
2:8, the Bible says,
00:49:07.31\00:49:09.43
For by grace are ye
saved through faith;
00:49:09.44\00:49:13.45
and that not of
yourself, it is a gift.
00:49:13.46\00:49:17.36
I understand that
we are saved, what.
00:49:18.46\00:49:19.98
We're not keeping some law,
00:49:19.99\00:49:21.75
which simply
points out what sin is.
00:49:22.09\00:49:23.63
I'm saved by grace through faith
00:49:23.64\00:49:25.59
and it is a gift of
God. Somebody say oh good,
00:49:25.60\00:49:28.36
see we got it now,
before you just jump
00:49:28.37\00:49:31.30
on your high horse
and try galloping away,
00:49:31.31\00:49:33.68
what are we going to
do with this grace thing.
00:49:34.08\00:49:37.66
Praise God for it,
grace is not a license to do
00:49:38.12\00:49:41.51
what to sin, it never
has been, it never will be.
00:49:41.52\00:49:45.46
It's not an excuse,
grace is an excuse for
00:49:47.06\00:49:50.46
a lot people to say great,
00:49:50.47\00:49:51.73
so we don't had to keep God's
00:49:51.74\00:49:52.87
Ten Commandments anymore.
00:49:52.88\00:49:54.19
You're using grace as an excuse.
00:49:54.69\00:49:56.22
It's that what
the Bible teaches,
00:49:56.83\00:49:58.31
lets balance it
shall we with scripture.
00:50:00.45\00:50:02.51
Some will say
well we live by faith,
00:50:05.60\00:50:07.35
good Praise God,
those who say that
00:50:08.26\00:50:12.24
we live by faith
and they want to use
00:50:12.25\00:50:15.56
it as excuse to
not keep God's law,
00:50:15.57\00:50:17.74
what do we do with Roman's 3:31,
00:50:17.75\00:50:19.56
it says, do we make
void the law through faith?
00:50:20.69\00:50:22.99
God forbid, we
establish the law.
00:50:23.86\00:50:26.34
That's clear and
that's simple those who say
00:50:26.35\00:50:28.88
well we're living
by faith, now we're not
00:50:28.89\00:50:30.29
underneath no law,
do we make avoid the law
00:50:30.30\00:50:32.69
through faith, God
forbid we establish it.
00:50:32.70\00:50:34.71
Didn't say done
away with, they say
00:50:34.72\00:50:35.79
we establish it.
Now those who are saying
00:50:35.80\00:50:38.68
well we live under
grace, we're in New Testament,
00:50:38.69\00:50:40.54
Praise God for that,
that's right, it's grace,
00:50:40.55\00:50:42.34
but we use it as an
excuse its not going
00:50:42.76\00:50:47.86
to be accountable to
God because he encourages
00:50:47.87\00:50:51.54
us to keep it by His
grace and His strength.
00:50:51.55\00:50:53.56
What do we do with Romans 6:1-2,
00:50:53.57\00:50:55.91
what shall we say then?
Shall we continue and sin,
00:50:55.92\00:50:58.95
that grace may
abound? God forbid.
00:50:58.96\00:51:02.14
How shall we that
are dead to sin live
00:51:02.15\00:51:05.02
any longer therein?
Praise God for grace
00:51:05.03\00:51:08.72
dear friends, but
its not a license to sin,
00:51:08.73\00:51:10.49
doesn't mean we can
go about doing anything,
00:51:10.98\00:51:12.66
breaking God's law at all,
00:51:12.67\00:51:13.78
it wasn't for his
grace none of us will make it
00:51:13.79\00:51:15.48
to the kingdom of
God. How about Romans 6:15,
00:51:15.49\00:51:18.49
what then shall we
sin, because we are not
00:51:19.05\00:51:21.38
under the law, but
under grace? God forbid.
00:51:21.39\00:51:25.26
See while we're
coming up with some of
00:51:26.76\00:51:28.21
these thoughts, last
few minutes that we have
00:51:28.22\00:51:32.41
here I just want to
think and go through
00:51:32.42\00:51:34.03
some passages real
quickly here because remember
00:51:34.40\00:51:37.03
sin is the issue, the
only way that the devil
00:51:37.04\00:51:39.35
can get a choke hold
around you and keep it
00:51:39.36\00:51:41.97
there is if he
gets you to transgress
00:51:41.98\00:51:43.97
God's Ten
Commandant law and the best way
00:51:43.98\00:51:46.04
the devil says I'll
get the people to think
00:51:46.05\00:51:47.81
that it's done away
with, you don't have to
00:51:47.82\00:51:49.19
worry about it. The
Bible does not teach that,
00:51:49.20\00:51:51.42
not even close to
that. Roman 7:7 says,
00:51:51.84\00:51:56.08
What shall we say
then? Is the law sin?
00:51:56.09\00:51:59.00
God forbid. Is the
law sin? No, God forbid.
00:52:00.15\00:52:04.05
Roman 7:12, The
law is holy, and the
00:52:04.66\00:52:08.65
commandment
holy, just, and good.
00:52:08.66\00:52:11.27
How brothers,
sisters how are we gonna
00:52:11.91\00:52:13.96
fight this, how are
we gonna fight it when
00:52:13.97\00:52:16.55
something is that
clear and clear cut so
00:52:16.56\00:52:19.17
the law is holy the
Commandment is holy,
00:52:19.18\00:52:21.52
it's just and it's
good, please think about
00:52:21.53\00:52:25.78
that with me, its just,
its holy and it is good.
00:52:25.79\00:52:28.76
How about Romans
7:14, the Bible says,
00:52:29.47\00:52:31.46
For we know that
the law is spiritual,
00:52:31.47\00:52:34.55
the law is what?
Good, the law is spiritual.
00:52:35.33\00:52:39.27
If the law is spiritual
then how can it be done
00:52:39.78\00:52:42.70
away with, is it good for us,
00:52:42.71\00:52:44.45
is it not good for
us. If its spiritual
00:52:44.46\00:52:47.57
dear friends,
spiritual things are spiritually
00:52:47.58\00:52:49.47
discerned, its
got to be good for us.
00:52:49.48\00:52:51.43
Romans 7:22 the Bible says,
00:52:53.13\00:52:54.81
For I delight in
the law of God after the
00:52:54.82\00:52:58.34
inward man. Oh! I'm just
wanting you to think here,
00:52:58.35\00:53:01.42
it's too easily the
devil has to toss out
00:53:01.43\00:53:03.39
that which God has demanded that
00:53:03.40\00:53:05.08
we be obedient, and
he'll give us the grace
00:53:05.09\00:53:07.52
and the strength. Romans 8:6,
00:53:07.53\00:53:11.36
says to be spiritually
minded is life and peace.
00:53:11.95\00:53:16.47
We just read but we
know that the law is what,
00:53:17.09\00:53:19.33
the law is spiritual
and then to be spiritually
00:53:19.34\00:53:22.85
minded is life
and peace, not death.
00:53:22.86\00:53:25.31
You want to be
spiritual minded, you want peace
00:53:27.29\00:53:29.12
in this life, you
want some happiness
00:53:29.13\00:53:30.94
and people say well
we don't have to worry
00:53:33.20\00:53:34.60
about all. Look, you
want the Holy Spirit,
00:53:34.61\00:53:36.75
hey people, well we
have the Holy Spirit,
00:53:36.76\00:53:38.31
we have the Holy
Spirit Acts 5:32,
00:53:38.32\00:53:41.43
says the Holy
Spirit is given to those
00:53:41.44\00:53:43.78
who obey him. If
you're being disobedient,
00:53:43.79\00:53:47.28
you don't have the
Holy Spirit, you may have
00:53:47.29\00:53:48.61
another spirit, why?
Because the Bible is clear,
00:53:48.62\00:53:51.02
Holy Spirit is given
to those who obey him.
00:53:51.03\00:53:54.53
Well that makes
sense doesn't it.
00:53:55.04\00:53:56.56
I want it to make sense to you,
00:53:56.57\00:53:57.54
it's just not
something that's passed out
00:53:58.29\00:53:59.91
without any thought.
God says if you be obedient
00:53:59.92\00:54:03.33
my laws, up,
up, get that spirit.
00:54:03.87\00:54:06.66
Spiritual things,
spiritual discerned.
00:54:07.45\00:54:09.63
The Romans 8:14 the Bible says,
00:54:10.55\00:54:12.30
For as many as are
led by the Spirit of God,
00:54:12.31\00:54:15.01
they are sons of
God. You want to be a son
00:54:15.02\00:54:18.28
and daughter of God today, I do.
00:54:18.29\00:54:19.85
As many as are
what? Led by the spirit.
00:54:20.73\00:54:23.52
Spiritually minded,
the law is spiritual,
00:54:26.77\00:54:29.98
I'm carnal, I need
some help, how about you?
00:54:31.51\00:54:34.28
Are you under a
bondage today you want
00:54:37.91\00:54:39.91
to get out from that,
there is only one remedy
00:54:39.92\00:54:42.02
and that's Jesus
Christ. You want to break
00:54:42.03\00:54:45.31
that choke hold that
devil has on you through some,
00:54:45.32\00:54:47.54
it could be
appetite, it could be eyes,
00:54:47.55\00:54:49.98
it could be the
ears, it could be we lack
00:54:49.99\00:54:51.62
a desire to spend
some time with Jesus,
00:54:51.63\00:54:53.48
we spend time on everything else
00:54:53.49\00:54:54.92
but things of
Jesus, heaven knows
00:54:54.93\00:54:57.11
those things. You might
fool the church members,
00:54:57.12\00:55:00.69
you're not fooling God.
00:55:00.70\00:55:01.67
How do you spend the
time, most of your energy?
00:55:03.18\00:55:05.06
God's going to
give you that grace,
00:55:07.80\00:55:09.05
he's going to give you
that help that you need
00:55:09.06\00:55:11.52
and Jesus simply
made it so simple as we
00:55:11.53\00:55:13.55
close today, so
simple John 14:15 he said,
00:55:13.56\00:55:17.17
if you, good, if you love me,
00:55:17.18\00:55:20.51
keep my commandments.
Do you love Jesus today,
00:55:21.24\00:55:25.33
if you want to break
the power of the enemy
00:55:26.86\00:55:29.69
and the enemy says,
I'm gonna break them
00:55:30.38\00:55:32.72
because I'm gonna
give them to not worry
00:55:32.73\00:55:34.42
about God's love.
That's his hold on us;
00:55:34.43\00:55:37.86
once we recognize
it we can have freedom.
00:55:37.87\00:55:40.57
God help us, we
break one, we go to him
00:55:40.58\00:55:43.42
and for forgiveness
and he is willing and just,
00:55:43.43\00:55:46.05
he needs to
forgive us of our sins,
00:55:46.06\00:55:47.76
cleanse us from all unrighteous.
00:55:47.77\00:55:49.60
Why don't we
pray about it today.
00:55:49.61\00:55:50.86
I want to give food for thought,
00:55:51.24\00:55:52.46
I want just agitate you
in a good spiritual way,
00:55:52.47\00:55:54.88
you'll get the
Bible out and you begin
00:55:54.89\00:55:56.32
to really check, but
we're going to pray right
00:55:56.33\00:55:57.86
now that God will
give you that desire.
00:55:57.87\00:55:59.53
Shall we do
that before we close.
00:55:59.54\00:56:01.01
Merciful Father in
heaven, thank you for your
00:56:01.33\00:56:02.97
sweet Holy
Spirit. Bless we pray,
00:56:02.98\00:56:05.48
those who are
looking and searching for
00:56:05.85\00:56:07.54
truth may they find
it, in Jesus name, Amen.
00:56:07.55\00:56:10.57

Welcome back
friends, breaking the power
00:56:34.58\00:56:37.47
of the enemy. The
devil has absolutely
00:56:37.48\00:56:40.11
no power over an
obedient soul whose trust,
00:56:40.12\00:56:43.77
faith and strength all
comes from the Lord God
00:56:43.78\00:56:46.88
of heaven. Christ
is pleading for us,
00:56:46.89\00:56:49.67
he's bleeding for us
to become one with him.
00:56:49.68\00:56:52.64
To submit our
wills to Him, follow Him,
00:56:52.65\00:56:56.49
trust Him, love Him and
he will direct our paths.
00:56:56.50\00:57:01.41
God wants to
become your best friend
00:57:01.42\00:57:03.77
in all areas of
your life but how can you
00:57:03.78\00:57:07.08
be His best
friend without spending
00:57:07.09\00:57:09.28
time with him.
You can't, so please
00:57:09.29\00:57:12.80

00:57:12.81\00:57:14.74
