Hello friends, and thank you
00:00:41.81\00:00:43.69
for joining us for
another Behold The Lambs
00:00:43.70\00:00:46.44
presents program,
I'm Chris Shelton your
00:00:46.45\00:00:48.77
host and today we've
an interesting message
00:00:48.78\00:00:51.55
entitled do right
because it is right.
00:00:51.56\00:00:54.96
You know many of us are
parents and if not it's a
00:00:55.49\00:00:58.38
good possibility that
you'll become one in one
00:00:58.39\00:01:01.13
form or another.
As a mom thinking
00:01:01.14\00:01:04.02
back to the many
times I had to instruct my
00:01:04.03\00:01:06.39
children to do things
that on their own they
00:01:06.40\00:01:09.05
simply didn't want to
do, I recall often hearing
00:01:09.06\00:01:12.57
that we don't know
why? Why do I have to
00:01:12.58\00:01:15.36
keep my room
clean? Why do I have to be
00:01:15.37\00:01:17.86
in at a certain
time, why can't I get to
00:01:17.87\00:01:20.75
do some of the
activities the other
00:01:20.76\00:01:22.24
kids are involved
in? Ensure to stop and
00:01:22.25\00:01:25.98
give answers to
some otherwise were good
00:01:25.99\00:01:28.23
times to teach me that lessons,
00:01:28.24\00:01:30.65
but most of the times
as parents we expect our
00:01:30.66\00:01:34.27
children to
trust in our judgment,
00:01:34.28\00:01:36.14
and do as we ask
just because we asked.
00:01:36.15\00:01:40.14
And hopefully
because doing what we ask is
00:01:40.57\00:01:43.21
the right thing to do as well.
00:01:43.22\00:01:45.39
A beautiful
thing about serving our
00:01:45.91\00:01:47.84
heavenly Father
is that we can trust
00:01:47.85\00:01:50.46
him to never ask
us to do something
00:01:50.47\00:01:53.96
that is not
right. The problem comes
00:01:53.97\00:01:56.76
when we
discover that our habits,
00:01:56.77\00:01:59.98
our desires and
customs that we had
00:01:59.99\00:02:03.94
developed over the
years don't line up with
00:02:03.95\00:02:07.81
a thus saith the
Lord and self begins to be
00:02:07.82\00:02:11.37
involved in a
spiritual tug of war with God
00:02:11.38\00:02:14.98
pulling at one
direction and self and perhaps
00:02:14.99\00:02:18.27
even your friends
pulling you in totally
00:02:18.28\00:02:20.64
opposite
direction. You know what
00:02:20.65\00:02:23.18
are we to do, are we to,
00:02:23.19\00:02:25.16
how are we to
handle these situations and
00:02:25.17\00:02:28.21
really, really doesn't
make a difference if we
00:02:28.22\00:02:30.83
choose our own
way over God's way,
00:02:30.84\00:02:33.16
it means just once in a while.
00:02:33.17\00:02:34.86
I believe that
these questions and their
00:02:35.64\00:02:38.44
answers and many
more will be answered
00:02:38.45\00:02:40.94
today in today's message with
00:02:40.95\00:02:43.25
Pastor Kenny
Shelton as he addresses our
00:02:43.26\00:02:46.13
we doing right
because it is right.
00:02:46.14\00:02:48.99
But first lets
listen to a song entitled
00:02:49.87\00:02:52.71
He forgives and
forgets, as sung by Tammy Chance
00:02:57.41\00:02:58.38
at 3ABN's worship centre.
00:02:58.39\00:02:59.57
It's so easy to
say I forgive you,
00:03:20.16\00:03:25.07
But forgetting is
the hardest thing to do,
00:03:27.25\00:03:35.16
Though my mind can comprehend
00:03:36.06\00:03:40.25
That He could be
that kind of friend
00:03:40.50\00:03:44.66
On the cross He took my place
00:03:45.36\00:03:48.86
So my sin He could
erase He forgives and forgets
00:03:48.87\00:04:00.51
I stand before Him
holy He consoled my tense
00:04:00.80\00:04:09.54
That day at Calvary
00:04:10.40\00:04:15.84
Now I'm, justified,
just as He refines every sin
00:04:15.99\00:04:22.71
And yet He not only forgives,
00:04:23.41\00:04:27.62
He forgives and forgets
00:04:28.16\00:04:32.40
The mercies of
Lord are ever lasting
00:04:34.02\00:04:40.90
He forgives my sins and
remembers them your more
00:04:41.97\00:04:50.04
Though its hard for me to guess
00:04:50.58\00:04:54.86
How far the
east is from the west
00:04:55.45\00:04:59.29
On the cross he took my place
00:05:00.05\00:05:03.87
So my sins he could erase
00:05:04.37\00:05:08.95
He forgives and
forgets I stand before Him holy
00:05:10.37\00:05:21.09
He consoled my
tense That day at Calvary
00:05:21.21\00:05:31.04
Now I'm, justified,
just as He refines every sin
00:05:31.14\00:05:37.56
And yet He not only forgives,
00:05:38.14\00:05:42.38
He forgives and forgets
00:05:42.86\00:05:46.69
When you look at me
00:05:48.60\00:05:50.87
You may see me just as I'm
00:05:51.38\00:05:55.25
But when He looks at me
00:05:56.67\00:05:59.72
He only sees the pride
of the lamb of the lamb
00:06:00.15\00:06:09.78
He forgives and
forgets I stand before Him holy
00:06:10.01\00:06:19.99
He consoled my
tense That day at Calvary
00:06:20.60\00:06:30.33
Now I'm, justified,
just as He refines every sin
00:06:30.66\00:06:37.10
And yet He not only forgives,
00:06:37.74\00:06:42.11
He forgives and forgets
00:06:42.50\00:06:46.71
When you look at me
00:06:47.32\00:06:50.30
You may see me just as
I'm He not only forgives
00:06:50.78\00:07:02.43
He not only forgives
All my sins He forgets
00:07:02.91\00:07:19.74
Thank you for joining us here
00:07:29.06\00:07:30.03
Behold the Lamb once again.
00:07:30.04\00:07:31.46
Oh! What a
privilege to be able to study
00:07:31.47\00:07:32.87
God's word
together. I hope that you are
00:07:32.88\00:07:35.66
making sure that we
do this consistently.
00:07:35.67\00:07:38.61
God has a lot of
good messages for us,
00:07:39.23\00:07:40.81
His word is
powerful and its true and as
00:07:40.82\00:07:44.00
we study together,
I pray its not only
00:07:44.01\00:07:45.79
preparing you but
preparing me all of us
00:07:45.80\00:07:47.90
for the soon
coming of Jesus Christ.
00:07:47.91\00:07:49.80
Our subject for today is
00:07:49.81\00:07:51.39
"do right because it is right".
00:07:51.65\00:07:54.30
How does that take place,
00:07:54.85\00:07:56.22
and how do we
bring our lives into that
00:07:56.80\00:07:58.64
kind of order. Well we're gonna
00:07:58.65\00:07:59.87
find out when we
study the word together,
00:07:59.88\00:08:01.41
but before we do,
as always you know we,
00:08:01.42\00:08:03.90
we need to go to
God in prayer don't we.
00:08:03.91\00:08:06.10
A prayer is such a very,
00:08:06.11\00:08:07.08
very important part of as we get
00:08:07.09\00:08:10.61
into God's word,
so why don't we kneel
00:08:10.62\00:08:12.73
together and seek God's praise.
00:08:12.74\00:08:15.04
Now when we do
this remember were you
00:08:15.45\00:08:17.43
can you kneel with
me. There will be many of
00:08:17.44\00:08:19.71
you who cannot do it
but you're gonna promise
00:08:19.72\00:08:21.67
that you're gonna pray with me,
00:08:21.68\00:08:22.76
what do you see.
Let's pray for the
00:08:22.77\00:08:24.29
power of the Holy Spirit.
00:08:24.30\00:08:25.47
Kind loving heavenly Father,
00:08:29.82\00:08:30.79
we thank you for
the privilege of prayer.
00:08:30.80\00:08:32.62
We thank you that
you're our Father in heaven,
00:08:33.45\00:08:35.78
and you want us
as we study to show
00:08:35.79\00:08:37.81
ourselves approved under God.
00:08:37.82\00:08:39.32
We pray for the out pouring of
00:08:40.09\00:08:41.25
thy Holy
Spirit. Pray that you'll
00:08:41.26\00:08:43.28
take this pour mind
of mine that we will
00:08:43.29\00:08:45.66
illuminate it with
power of thy Spirit
00:08:45.67\00:08:47.79
that we may hear from
heaven and what we hear
00:08:48.93\00:08:51.44
from heaven may
some how come across
00:08:51.45\00:08:54.36
to your power to
the ears and hearts
00:08:54.72\00:08:56.42
and minds of all of
us, your people around the
00:08:56.43\00:08:59.08
world that we may be
drawn closer to Jesus.
00:08:59.09\00:09:01.57
Oh! What a
pleasant privilege this is,
00:09:02.01\00:09:04.18
thank you for sending your
00:09:04.79\00:09:05.84
Holy Spirit in Jesus name. Amen.
00:09:05.85\00:09:08.47
Once again as we
study the word as we
00:09:11.85\00:09:14.54
get into the God's
word we find that it is
00:09:14.55\00:09:16.78
sharper than any
what, two edged sword and
00:09:16.79\00:09:20.19
so its gonna
rightly divide, separate,
00:09:20.20\00:09:22.03
its gonna do some
cutting. Today if he does
00:09:22.04\00:09:24.01
some cutting, praise God it's
00:09:24.02\00:09:25.68
alright because God
allow nothing to be cut
00:09:25.69\00:09:27.90
from your life it
doesn't need to be.
00:09:27.91\00:09:30.31
We're gonna be talking about do
00:09:30.32\00:09:31.97
right because it is right,
00:09:31.98\00:09:34.75
well that sounds
like we are gonna be
00:09:35.51\00:09:36.92
operating from
principle rather than policy.
00:09:36.93\00:09:40.61
The Bible is
real clear 1 John 3:7,
00:09:41.42\00:09:43.85
you've your Bibles
turn over to jott it
00:09:43.86\00:09:45.93
down 1 John 3:7,
its start out and
00:09:45.94\00:09:48.31
says little children,
let no man deceive you:
00:09:48.32\00:09:51.57
little children,
let no man deceive you:
00:09:52.23\00:09:53.88
he that doeth righteousness
00:09:53.89\00:09:56.24
is righteous, even as
00:09:56.25\00:09:59.32
he is righteous. You realize
00:09:59.33\00:10:02.91
how powerful this scripture is,
00:10:02.92\00:10:06.21
the Bible says that he that
00:10:07.18\00:10:08.80
doeth righteousness,
righteousness here
00:10:08.81\00:10:12.55
in the Greek is mean he that is
00:10:12.56\00:10:16.14
innocent toward
God, he that is just
00:10:16.15\00:10:19.90
before God, he that is right,
00:10:19.91\00:10:22.76
that's what
righteousness right doing and it
00:10:22.77\00:10:25.74
says he is
righteous, and even as he
00:10:25.75\00:10:28.54
is righteous. Oh! How wonderful
00:10:28.55\00:10:31.84
the God's plan
for us that we can be
00:10:31.85\00:10:34.10
righteous
because of Jesus Christ.
00:10:34.11\00:10:36.68
So, there is a thing
that we're going to call
00:10:36.69\00:10:38.69
here in our study
that we need to do
00:10:38.70\00:10:40.61
right because it is
right, and when you talk
00:10:40.62\00:10:43.68
about right, you automatically
00:10:43.69\00:10:45.12
think of what,
wrong. Good and evil,
00:10:45.13\00:10:48.50
so as we study
this lesson I think
00:10:49.25\00:10:50.91
that you know, in fact I heard
00:10:50.92\00:10:53.16
it many times say just,
just do the right thing.
00:10:53.17\00:10:56.74
I think I heard that
when I was growing up,
00:10:57.14\00:10:58.74
can he just do the right thing.
00:10:58.75\00:11:00.93
Have you ever heard
that as you were at home,
00:11:01.80\00:11:04.13
mom try to tell
just do the right thing?
00:11:04.14\00:11:06.76
I'll tell you little story,
00:11:06.77\00:11:08.52
true story when I
was growing up my dad
00:11:09.75\00:11:11.56
would give me a
job to do and you know,
00:11:11.57\00:11:14.75
as soon as he,
soon as he asks me,
00:11:14.76\00:11:17.40
Kenny I need you
to do this for me,
00:11:17.80\00:11:19.23
my first, why?
Why you asking me,
00:11:19.24\00:11:25.74
you know I was
very well aware that you
00:11:26.36\00:11:28.35
know brother Danny was
around and brother Ronnie
00:11:28.36\00:11:30.54
was around and Tommy
was around and it seem
00:11:30.55\00:11:32.81
like that I did the
last job that need to be
00:11:32.82\00:11:35.47
done around the
house, seem like I was
00:11:35.48\00:11:37.22
the busy one, so you know it
00:11:37.23\00:11:40.23
seem like well, so quickly out
00:11:40.24\00:11:42.17
of my mouth would come why?
00:11:42.18\00:11:43.59
But dad, why
only me won't you tell
00:11:44.22\00:11:45.77
these other guys. Well I guess I
00:11:45.78\00:11:51.64
really didn't care
which one of them he chose
00:11:51.65\00:11:53.85
just as long as it
wasn't me as long as
00:11:53.86\00:11:56.15
somebody else I
didn't want to bother with
00:11:56.16\00:11:57.75
it but his
answer was pretty much
00:11:57.76\00:12:00.12
always the
same, thank full for a
00:12:00.13\00:12:03.31
consistent parents we
really need to be that
00:12:03.32\00:12:05.56
as parents, set a good example
00:12:05.57\00:12:07.21
for our children.
And here's what he
00:12:07.22\00:12:09.54
would say I say dad why me?
00:12:09.55\00:12:11.00
He say first of all
Kenny because I told you.
00:12:12.00\00:12:15.92
Some people don't like it oh!
00:12:16.84\00:12:17.96
That's not the
good, that's a pretty good
00:12:17.97\00:12:19.64
answer at least it was for me.
00:12:19.65\00:12:20.79
He said first of
all is because I asked
00:12:21.08\00:12:23.23
you to do it, not your brothers,
00:12:23.24\00:12:26.85
well, and if I
pressed him just a little bit
00:12:28.82\00:12:32.18
further he might
explain something like
00:12:32.19\00:12:35.76
Kenny were you were
gone the other boys they
00:12:36.21\00:12:38.11
had some other things to do,
00:12:38.12\00:12:40.35
so its your turn.
00:12:40.36\00:12:41.79
Interesting if I
pressed him a little bit more,
00:12:45.36\00:12:47.23
you've be careful
about pressing your
00:12:47.24\00:12:48.52
parents sometime too.
I pressed him a little
00:12:48.53\00:12:50.77
bit more because
I was trying to get
00:12:50.78\00:12:51.86
out of doing the
job and I would say well
00:12:51.87\00:12:54.04
you know why is that I need to
00:12:56.17\00:13:00.77
do this thing, why is that me?
00:13:00.78\00:13:03.19
And he would say
look Kenny I tell you
00:13:04.91\00:13:08.35
what here's what gonna happen,
00:13:08.36\00:13:10.14
here's what happen if you do,
00:13:10.15\00:13:11.97
here's what's going
to happen if you don't.
00:13:12.69\00:13:14.44
Well it sound like
I had an option there,
00:13:14.45\00:13:15.81
this is what will
happen if you do and this
00:13:17.49\00:13:19.01
is what's gonna
happen if you don't do it.
00:13:19.02\00:13:21.51
So, I had to contemplate
those things and most
00:13:22.02\00:13:24.97
generally I would
accept the first option,
00:13:24.98\00:13:27.64
first option you
see wasn't too bad,
00:13:27.65\00:13:29.56
I just, you know everything will
00:13:29.57\00:13:30.89
be alright if I
just go and do what he
00:13:30.90\00:13:32.31
asked me to do, but if I choose
00:13:32.32\00:13:34.08
that second option
sometime I find it very
00:13:34.09\00:13:37.19
difficult to sit down
for quite a while because
00:13:37.20\00:13:40.99
you know he had a voice
of correcting us and so,
00:13:41.00\00:13:45.37
I guess that the
thing that really got to me
00:13:45.38\00:13:47.64
more than anything
was this and I want
00:13:47.65\00:13:49.75
you pay attention to this,
00:13:49.76\00:13:50.91
thing I really got
to me the most when he
00:13:50.92\00:13:52.17
said well I want
you to do this and
00:13:52.18\00:13:53.68
don't worry about
what your brothers and so
00:13:53.69\00:13:55.08
on so forth, you just,
00:13:55.09\00:13:56.06
you just do it I
ask you to do it so just
00:13:56.07\00:13:58.71
do it and the thing
that really got to me after
00:13:58.72\00:14:01.34
it was already
settled and I decided that I
00:14:01.35\00:14:02.99
probably should
go ahead and do it.
00:14:03.00\00:14:04.74
He said and while
you're doing the job act
00:14:05.24\00:14:07.75
like you like it.
00:14:07.76\00:14:08.73
Wow, that was more
painful than the job,
00:14:11.92\00:14:14.59
what do you mean
act like you like it.
00:14:15.70\00:14:17.44
You see he was one
who didn't tolerate
00:14:18.70\00:14:20.28
that when he gave
you something to do
00:14:20.29\00:14:21.61
that you could
just act up anyway
00:14:21.62\00:14:23.14
you wanted to,
like some children do,
00:14:23.15\00:14:25.45
you ask them do something they
00:14:25.46\00:14:26.43
don't like they go
out of house and they slam
00:14:26.44\00:14:28.33
the door muttering
underneath our breath,
00:14:28.34\00:14:30.91
we weren't allowed
to mutter underneath
00:14:30.92\00:14:32.19
our breath, it was really
00:14:32.20\00:14:33.74
under our breath
where he didn't hear it.
00:14:33.75\00:14:35.15
We won't allow it you
know close the cabinet
00:14:37.19\00:14:39.17
door how often
we've been corrected,
00:14:39.18\00:14:40.81
slam any door even
act like we were upset.
00:14:40.82\00:14:44.21
So, he says now
you're doing the job go
00:14:44.29\00:14:45.77
act like you are happy.
00:14:45.78\00:14:46.91
Oh! Man, and so I
thinks the thing that
00:14:48.96\00:14:50.69
comes back to me
Kenny just do right because
00:14:50.70\00:14:55.63
it is right. Based upon
00:14:55.64\00:14:57.94
this Commandment
says Honor thy father
00:14:57.95\00:15:01.34
and thy mother. Do it Kenny
00:15:01.35\00:15:04.15
because it's a
right thing to do,
00:15:04.16\00:15:06.02
right doing is pleasing to God.
00:15:06.03\00:15:10.07
If we do the right
thing, you remember this
00:15:10.08\00:15:12.35
passage of scripture
found in 2 Peter 1:17,
00:15:12.36\00:15:16.05
2 Peter 1:17 says
that God was speaking about
00:15:17.04\00:15:21.26
Jesus he said:
This is my beloved son,
00:15:21.27\00:15:25.51
in whom I am well pleased.
00:15:26.04\00:15:28.91
Good right doing
is pleasing to God.
00:15:28.92\00:15:33.00
This is my beloved son
in whom I am well pleased.
00:15:33.40\00:15:37.34
We need to be
pleasing God rather than
00:15:38.20\00:15:40.55
pleasing our
self, doing the right
00:15:40.56\00:15:42.56
thing because it is right.
00:15:42.57\00:15:44.55
How many of us really
do, how many really work
00:15:46.46\00:15:48.16
from that kind of principle.
00:15:48.17\00:15:49.61
The Bible in 1 Thessalonians 2:4
00:15:51.19\00:15:53.18
scripture says:
even so we speak;
00:15:53.19\00:15:55.90
not as pleasing men, but God,
00:15:57.23\00:16:02.00
which trieth out
hearts. So we're not to worry
00:16:02.65\00:16:06.71
about pleasing men
only, but we are to worry
00:16:06.72\00:16:09.89
about pleasing God
because he is the one
00:16:09.90\00:16:13.06
that tries the what, the heart,
00:16:13.07\00:16:15.34
he knows the
heart, why are you doing,
00:16:15.35\00:16:17.39
what you're doing.
Why are you doing it,
00:16:17.40\00:16:19.76
because it's right
because it needs to be done,
00:16:20.81\00:16:22.71
because you are convicted of it,
00:16:22.72\00:16:24.05
because maybe
its required of you,
00:16:24.06\00:16:27.30
or people won't
think you are Christian if
00:16:27.31\00:16:28.84
you don't do that. See it's not,
00:16:28.85\00:16:30.98
it's always easy to
do the right thing is it.
00:16:30.99\00:16:34.57
1st John says 3:22:
And whatsoever we ask,
00:16:35.24\00:16:39.53
we shall what?
we receive of him,
00:16:39.54\00:16:43.76
because we keep
his commandments,
00:16:43.77\00:16:46.76
and do those
things that are pleasing
00:16:47.30\00:16:50.10
in his sight. Keep focusing
00:16:50.11\00:16:52.70
with me about
pleasing doing the right thing.
00:16:52.71\00:16:55.18
I have people
that'll quote the first
00:16:56.11\00:16:58.35
part of that, whatsoever we ask
00:16:58.36\00:17:00.48
we're going to
receive of him and they just
00:17:00.49\00:17:02.30
dance around with this thought.
00:17:02.31\00:17:03.62
Whatever we ask he
is going to give us, oh!
00:17:04.79\00:17:06.90
Why don't you
just go ahead and read
00:17:06.91\00:17:09.02
the last part, he says
00:17:09.03\00:17:10.93
you can have these
things if you whatsoever you
00:17:10.94\00:17:14.12
ask you shall
receive because we keep
00:17:14.13\00:17:18.56
his commandments.
It's conditional you
00:17:18.57\00:17:21.80
ask he is going
to give you if you
00:17:21.81\00:17:23.68
are doing what,
by God's grace if
00:17:23.69\00:17:25.39
we keep his commandments,
and do those things
00:17:25.40\00:17:28.70
that please him. Don't expect he
00:17:28.71\00:17:32.41
answers to prayer, don't expect
00:17:32.42\00:17:33.96
these things,
whatever thing you have,
00:17:33.97\00:17:35.71
if you're not
being pleasing to him,
00:17:35.95\00:17:37.88
its conditional. We've shown
00:17:39.00\00:17:42.34
just a few little of passage of
00:17:42.35\00:17:43.66
scripture here, man must meet
00:17:43.67\00:17:46.52
God's requirements.
And there are times
00:17:46.53\00:17:50.34
that we are
challenged to just simply do
00:17:50.35\00:17:53.38
right because it is
right. How many times have
00:17:53.39\00:17:57.65
you ever been
challenged with that?
00:17:57.66\00:17:59.20
As I mentioned
while ago its not,
00:18:00.51\00:18:01.94
its not always easy
to do the right thing.
00:18:01.95\00:18:06.02
Many times its such a
00:18:06.44\00:18:07.92
challenge it's a
denial of our self.
00:18:07.93\00:18:11.07
How many times
have you been confronted
00:18:14.49\00:18:16.13
with this issue?
Lets give you an example,
00:18:16.14\00:18:19.82
you may try to
correct a bad habit,
00:18:19.83\00:18:22.52
you just let in gonna work,
00:18:24.35\00:18:25.32
I want to correct
this bad habit and we think
00:18:25.33\00:18:27.83
if we correct this
bad habit this is the way
00:18:27.84\00:18:29.83
to become a Christian.
Is this really the way
00:18:29.84\00:18:35.66
that we become a Christian?
00:18:35.67\00:18:37.32
If we could become a
Christian we've to begin
00:18:39.65\00:18:41.92
at the right place.
Where would you begin?
00:18:41.93\00:18:45.82
You wanna something you don't,
00:18:45.83\00:18:47.53
maybe you never
accepted the Lord as
00:18:47.54\00:18:49.61
your personal
savior. Today you wanna do
00:18:49.62\00:18:53.01
that and you're
thinking I need to
00:18:53.02\00:18:54.39
start somewhere,
I want to do right
00:18:54.40\00:18:55.84
because it is a
right thing to do but I'm
00:18:55.85\00:18:58.57
not sure where to
begin or where to even start.
00:18:58.58\00:19:01.52
And I think if I just
get rid of this habit or
00:19:03.50\00:19:05.33
that habit then
I'll become a Christian.
00:19:05.34\00:19:06.79
No there is a
place to begin and it's
00:19:06.80\00:19:08.90
important that
we understand where
00:19:08.91\00:19:10.53
we begin this walk with Jesus.
00:19:10.54\00:19:13.03
We must begin in the
right place and where
00:19:13.04\00:19:14.99
does it begin, it begins in good
00:19:15.00\00:19:17.61
you are thinking the heart.
00:19:17.62\00:19:18.89
The heart has to be changed.
00:19:19.92\00:19:22.66
Psalm 95:10, notice
it says that it is a
00:19:23.20\00:19:27.12
people that do
err in their heart,
00:19:27.13\00:19:31.27
it is that people that what,
00:19:31.98\00:19:32.95
that do err in their
heart why because they have
00:19:32.96\00:19:36.70
not know my ways.
People err when they
00:19:36.71\00:19:42.55
don't know the way of the Lord.
00:19:42.56\00:19:45.40
The heart has to
change somewhere in our
00:19:46.47\00:19:49.71
walk as if they were
born as a baby and we
00:19:49.72\00:19:53.06
begin to grow up,
begin to understand
00:19:53.07\00:19:56.67
right and wrong,
there comes a point,
00:19:56.68\00:19:59.01
a time where every
man, woman, child doesn't
00:19:59.02\00:20:02.18
matter who it is, the human race
00:20:02.19\00:20:04.70
somewhere along
the line that heart
00:20:05.23\00:20:06.89
needs to change. We need to give
00:20:06.90\00:20:08.54
our heart which is
interchangable with
00:20:08.55\00:20:10.74
mind to God. It needs to
00:20:10.75\00:20:13.41
be converted, see our natural
00:20:13.42\00:20:16.52
tendency is do the wrong thing,
00:20:16.53\00:20:18.60
and we need some
help. And many times its
00:20:19.63\00:20:22.41
hard for us to
decide what all is wrong and
00:20:22.42\00:20:24.66
what all is right,
but we understand what we
00:20:24.67\00:20:26.90
need to do so say God
this is the right thing to
00:20:26.91\00:20:29.20
do help me to do
because it's a right thing.
00:20:29.21\00:20:31.32
You need to
understand God's word,
00:20:34.74\00:20:35.83
we begin in the
heart, the people that do
00:20:35.84\00:20:38.07
err in their heart, they err,
00:20:38.08\00:20:39.89
we err because
what we don't know God,
00:20:39.90\00:20:42.41
and we want to get
our life and something
00:20:44.58\00:20:45.71
you want to get
your life squared away,
00:20:45.72\00:20:47.11
so the heart
needs to be changed,
00:20:48.36\00:20:50.61
the heart needs to be converted,
00:20:51.11\00:20:52.86
the heart needs
to be sanctified,
00:20:53.68\00:20:55.80
set apart, it needs to be holy,
00:20:55.81\00:20:58.50
heart, mind, soul,
body, and so God wants
00:20:59.21\00:21:02.13
to begin to do some
heart surgery on you
00:21:02.14\00:21:03.90
and on me and I praise
he is doing it right now
00:21:03.91\00:21:06.69
on some people around the world.
00:21:06.70\00:21:08.25
Somehow today is the day;
00:21:09.57\00:21:10.90
the day is salvation for you.
00:21:10.91\00:21:12.52
Today you had enough
of the world and things
00:21:13.73\00:21:15.83
of the world; you've been
00:21:15.84\00:21:16.81
looking for a way
out. He is the way out;
00:21:16.82\00:21:18.80
He's prepared a
way for you and for me.
00:21:19.23\00:21:20.94
The Bible says in Jeremiah 17:9,
00:21:23.05\00:21:26.21
and when I say
heart I have people come
00:21:26.94\00:21:28.70
with this response
and this is what the
00:21:28.71\00:21:30.35
Bible does say, the Bible says:
00:21:30.36\00:21:31.78
the heart is what good deceitful
00:21:32.12\00:21:34.96
above all things.
00:21:34.97\00:21:36.70
But it say okay we
need a heart change,
00:21:38.20\00:21:39.35
that's why we need
a heart change because
00:21:39.36\00:21:41.39
the heart is what,
the heart is emotional,
00:21:41.40\00:21:43.78
heart and mind, it is emotional
00:21:44.11\00:21:45.37
sometime and we work
on emotions and feelings
00:21:45.38\00:21:48.04
and how we feel
for the day and what's
00:21:48.05\00:21:49.69
happen in our life for the day,
00:21:49.70\00:21:51.09
God says no, no, no you can't
00:21:51.10\00:21:52.87
work on
emotions, you got to do the
00:21:52.88\00:21:54.20
right thing because its right.
00:21:54.21\00:21:55.97
Do the right
thing, even when you don't
00:21:56.77\00:21:59.30
feel like doing the right thing.
00:21:59.31\00:22:00.78
You do it because it's right,
00:22:01.62\00:22:02.78
you work from principle.
00:22:02.79\00:22:03.79
Bible says the heart
is deceitful above all,
00:22:04.79\00:22:07.53
that's it, that's
it, that's a word when
00:22:07.54\00:22:09.41
you talk about this deceitful,
00:22:09.42\00:22:11.18
deceitful here
in the Hebrew simply
00:22:11.95\00:22:16.51
means it's crooked.
The heart is crooked,
00:22:16.52\00:22:20.81
deceitful, it's
crooked, it also says the heart
00:22:21.97\00:22:24.98
listen carefully
some of you is fraudulent.
00:22:24.99\00:22:27.45
You know I meet some
people who seem their
00:22:28.64\00:22:30.19
life is pretty
fraudulent; you heard them say
00:22:30.20\00:22:33.77
they are fraud,
it's because their
00:22:33.78\00:22:38.09
heart hasn't changed,
their heart is fraudulent,
00:22:38.10\00:22:42.28
it's crooked.
The word also means
00:22:42.29\00:22:46.31
it's polluted,
to have a polluted
00:22:46.32\00:22:51.05
heart means it's not right,
00:22:51.06\00:22:53.10
it's not pure, it's
not clean and its stinking
00:22:53.11\00:22:55.85
and acting in a way
that's not Christ like.
00:22:55.86\00:22:59.10
Here we see that
there is a real change that
00:23:01.09\00:23:02.89
needs to be in
your life and in mine.
00:23:02.90\00:23:04.61
I give you an
example that everybody or
00:23:06.39\00:23:09.04
at least most people
realize that what we,
00:23:09.05\00:23:11.22
you know, we need
to have a knowledge
00:23:11.89\00:23:13.28
of the truth, okay,
00:23:13.29\00:23:15.50
so yeah I need to
have knowledge of the truth
00:23:15.51\00:23:17.65
But that knowledge
of the truth doesn't
00:23:18.78\00:23:20.40
necessarily change our thoughts.
00:23:20.41\00:23:23.34
You've a knowledge
what of the truth but it
00:23:24.72\00:23:26.29
doesn't change your thoughts,
00:23:26.30\00:23:28.36
and if it doesn't
change your thoughts
00:23:29.02\00:23:30.70
after you've a knowledge
of the truth is because
00:23:30.71\00:23:33.52
your heart has not been changed.
00:23:33.53\00:23:36.16
Oh! Sure that makes sense,
00:23:37.38\00:23:38.71
little something
else to think about.
00:23:40.64\00:23:41.77
People will say okay
a person may attempt and
00:23:42.43\00:23:45.63
we've just a lot deal with,
00:23:45.64\00:23:47.42
person is going to
attempt to keep all the
00:23:47.93\00:23:49.77
commandments of
God, because he feels
00:23:49.78\00:23:54.25
he has to. Okay,
I have to do it and
00:23:54.26\00:23:58.89
I'll say I want to keep all the
00:23:58.90\00:24:00.07
commandments
okay, I'm gonna keep all
00:24:00.08\00:24:01.59
the pentacle I've to
in order to get to heaven,
00:24:01.60\00:24:03.97
I guess I'm gonna have
to keep the commandments,
00:24:03.98\00:24:05.48
he thinks wow its an obligation,
00:24:08.98\00:24:12.17
its an obligation, so
I guess I better do it.
00:24:12.87\00:24:15.07
But here's what I
found out when God's
00:24:18.31\00:24:20.24
requirements are a
burden this is not true what?
00:24:21.34\00:24:25.61
This is not true obedience;
00:24:26.84\00:24:28.25
we are talking
about true obedience here.
00:24:28.82\00:24:30.81
If it's
burdensome, is serving God a
00:24:32.02\00:24:35.59
burden to you, then there is
00:24:35.60\00:24:37.15
something wrong, your heart has
00:24:37.16\00:24:38.55
not been changed,
if it is a burden.
00:24:38.56\00:24:40.61
You get up everyday and
say oh! I can't go here,
00:24:40.62\00:24:43.09
I can't go do
that, I can't run here,
00:24:43.10\00:24:44.78
I can't run
there, I can't buy that,
00:24:44.79\00:24:46.60
I can't eat this,
I can't do that yes
00:24:46.61\00:24:48.70
your Christian is a burden,
00:24:48.71\00:24:50.01
your heart has not been changed,
00:24:50.61\00:24:52.16
to serve Jesus is a
joy, it's a privilege.
00:24:52.17\00:24:54.10
Never takes
anything away from you that's
00:24:54.55\00:24:55.82
good for you or for me.
00:24:55.83\00:24:58.03
Matthew 11 verse 30
interesting in scripture,
00:24:59.61\00:25:02.71
Jesus says my burden is light,
00:25:02.72\00:25:07.48
He says my burden is light.
00:25:10.57\00:25:11.54
Oh! Why is it that
you say my burden is heavy
00:25:11.55\00:25:13.08
because you are
fighting against God,
00:25:13.09\00:25:15.32
that's why? You think God
00:25:15.33\00:25:18.53
didn't know what
he is talking about
00:25:18.54\00:25:19.62
yes he does, when he said
00:25:19.63\00:25:20.74
my burden is
light, yoke up with me
00:25:20.75\00:25:22.51
its light come
on, and you keep oh!
00:25:22.52\00:25:25.60
It's so heavy I can't get that,
00:25:25.61\00:25:26.80
it's a bunch of do's
and a bunch of don'ts,
00:25:26.81\00:25:29.05
your heart has not been changed.
00:25:29.32\00:25:31.57
Really we need to
change your heart.
00:25:32.80\00:25:34.01
Psalm 55 you will
be really reading this
00:25:36.03\00:25:37.94
Psalms 55:22
says: Cast thy burden
00:25:37.95\00:25:41.47
upon the Lord, and he shall
00:25:41.48\00:25:44.27
sustain thee: cast your burden
00:25:44.28\00:25:47.10
upon what? Upon the Lord
00:25:47.11\00:25:48.90
and he'll sustain
you. Are you casting that
00:25:48.91\00:25:51.86
burden today, its
too heavy for you,
00:25:51.87\00:25:54.60
you can't just,
you can't continue on.
00:25:54.61\00:25:56.42
If your religion is a
burden today it simply
00:25:57.88\00:26:01.54
that's not true obedience.
00:26:01.55\00:26:03.21
Its not truly converted heart,
00:26:03.22\00:26:04.84
some changes need to take place.
00:26:04.85\00:26:06.28
If you love Jesus
you gonna find that
00:26:09.49\00:26:12.10
the its natural, the out working
00:26:12.11\00:26:15.52
of a principle
within, it comes naturally
00:26:15.53\00:26:19.96
when you love Jesus
with all your heart.
00:26:20.60\00:26:22.22
Serving him is not a burden,
00:26:23.48\00:26:24.75
its just normal the
things that will come out,
00:26:25.40\00:26:28.33
and springs from a
love of righteousness
00:26:29.18\00:26:31.88
or from right
doing. I want you to notice
00:26:31.89\00:26:35.67
the passage with
me here because I hear
00:26:35.68\00:26:37.51
people all the time
saying oh obedience,
00:26:37.52\00:26:40.17
obey, oh you don't have to obey,
00:26:40.18\00:26:42.16
are they just really
offended by this word
00:26:42.17\00:26:44.48
when you say obedience or obey.
00:26:44.49\00:26:46.29
Have you ever met
someone like that,
00:26:47.15\00:26:48.51
as soon as you say
you know we need to be
00:26:48.52\00:26:50.28
obedient to God, oh they just
00:26:50.29\00:26:52.41
puff up they just really,
00:26:52.42\00:26:53.86
let me make a big statement,
00:26:53.87\00:26:56.16
are you ready
for a big statement.
00:26:56.17\00:26:57.16
If you're serving
the devil you've to be
00:26:58.17\00:27:01.76
obedient to him,
if you're serving God
00:27:01.77\00:27:05.82
you need to be obedient to him.
00:27:05.83\00:27:08.08
You notice the words obedient.
00:27:09.15\00:27:11.55
I am gonna read you
a passage of scripture
00:27:12.32\00:27:13.91
to substantiate
that. Roman's chapter
00:27:13.92\00:27:16.17
6 verse 16, yeah
you know what it says:
00:27:16.18\00:27:20.33
know ye not that to
whom ye yield yourselves
00:27:20.34\00:27:23.81
servants to
obey, his servants ye
00:27:23.82\00:27:27.29
are to whom ye
obey. So whoever what,
00:27:27.30\00:27:30.66
whoever you obey again obey is
00:27:30.67\00:27:33.78
obedience is in
there, so if you're serving
00:27:33.79\00:27:35.99
the devil today you
are obedient to the devil,
00:27:36.00\00:27:38.80
so obedience still
plays a part did you get it.
00:27:38.81\00:27:41.47
We obey God or we obey what?
00:27:41.48\00:27:43.74
The devil, the
Bible says whether of sin,
00:27:43.75\00:27:46.96
so that means we've
to be obedient to the
00:27:46.97\00:27:48.61
devil the sin or unto death,
00:27:48.62\00:27:51.52
or by obedience
unto righteousness?
00:27:51.53\00:27:54.77
You just can't get passed that
00:27:55.69\00:27:57.07
word can you, I can't get pass
00:27:57.08\00:27:59.57
that word we
tried, trust and obey for
00:27:59.58\00:28:02.87
there is no other
way, obey don't be offended
00:28:02.88\00:28:07.46
by praise God a
test, we need test in
00:28:07.47\00:28:11.14
these hours in which we live.
00:28:11.15\00:28:12.85
God's testing and
trying his people.
00:28:13.70\00:28:15.97
Now if you're
determined to do right,
00:28:17.00\00:28:18.84
let me ask you a question,
00:28:19.41\00:28:20.38
if you really
determined to do right does
00:28:20.39\00:28:22.08
it really matter
where you start, you say,
00:28:22.09\00:28:25.36
well that's a may be
a little tricky question
00:28:25.37\00:28:27.74
but does it matter
how you start or maybe
00:28:28.09\00:28:30.52
when you start.
I'll just read you
00:28:30.53\00:28:33.92
a passage of scripture in
00:28:33.93\00:28:34.96
Hebrews chapter 3 verse 14,
00:28:34.97\00:28:37.29
Hebrews chapter 3 verse 14,
00:28:38.00\00:28:39.66
the Bible says: For
we are made partakers
00:28:39.67\00:28:42.40
of Christ, notice this,
00:28:42.41\00:28:44.49
if we are made
partakers of Christ,
00:28:45.03\00:28:48.61
if we hold the beginning of our
00:28:49.33\00:28:51.78
confidence
stedfast unto the end.
00:28:51.79\00:28:54.99
What was the
question, does it really make a
00:28:55.95\00:28:57.60
difference how we start
and the Bible comes back
00:28:57.61\00:29:00.86
and it says as
we start from where,
00:29:00.87\00:29:02.79
from the beginning of
our walk with Jesus it does
00:29:02.80\00:29:05.72
make a difference how we begin.
00:29:05.73\00:29:07.47
It says here that
if we are partakers
00:29:08.74\00:29:11.19
of Christ, if we become
00:29:11.20\00:29:13.12
part of the family
of God we've to hold the
00:29:13.13\00:29:17.04
beginning of our confidence.
00:29:17.05\00:29:19.97
The beginning of our confidence,
00:29:20.36\00:29:21.69
that means we need to,
00:29:21.70\00:29:22.68
beginning means we need to,
00:29:22.69\00:29:23.87
confidence stay
under, we need to be
00:29:23.88\00:29:26.93
connected to.
There are conditions
00:29:26.94\00:29:30.32
we need to be under
those conditions that we
00:29:30.33\00:29:32.58
first made that commitment to
00:29:32.59\00:29:34.36
Jesus Christ, not get away
00:29:34.37\00:29:35.56
from them but to
stay. How did you feel when
00:29:35.57\00:29:39.48
you first gave your
life to Jesus Christ,
00:29:39.49\00:29:41.23
the commitments
that you made to him?
00:29:41.24\00:29:43.26
Does it make a
difference how we start?
00:29:44.33\00:29:46.22
I'll read a little
book, it had one line I
00:29:47.50\00:29:49.31
thought was very
good called My Life Today,
00:29:49.32\00:29:51.98
page 122 and the
question was asked does it make
00:29:52.52\00:29:55.37
a difference how we
start in our relationship
00:29:55.38\00:29:57.98
with Christ and you
know what the answer said,
00:29:57.99\00:30:00.34
oh this is interesting.
It says be careful how
00:30:00.35\00:30:03.97
you start, start right
00:30:03.98\00:30:06.81
and then keep quietly on,
00:30:06.82\00:30:12.23
wow, that's awesome
when you think about it.
00:30:14.58\00:30:18.06
It simply says you be
careful to start right,
00:30:19.19\00:30:22.38
start right and
then keep quietly on.
00:30:22.39\00:30:26.56
You will be
tooting your horns just
00:30:27.68\00:30:29.54
quietly continue on, I may ask
00:30:29.55\00:30:31.63
another question,
and have a question,
00:30:31.64\00:30:33.10
comment put
together here but the
00:30:33.11\00:30:35.23
question is how, does it make a
00:30:35.24\00:30:37.36
difference how you
run the 100 yard dash,
00:30:37.37\00:30:39.70
when I was
going to school we run
00:30:39.71\00:30:40.68
a 100 yard dash
does it make a difference
00:30:40.69\00:30:43.88
how you start putting ahead,
00:30:43.89\00:30:45.68
it definitely made a
difference because it
00:30:45.69\00:30:47.51
was a matter of few
seconds race and if you
00:30:47.52\00:30:50.15
got a bad start you
didn't win the race and
00:30:50.16\00:30:53.72
those who got a
good start or a good jump
00:30:53.73\00:30:55.54
would they would
win. So, yes it made a
00:30:55.55\00:30:58.55
difference but yet in
the Christian race its
00:30:58.56\00:31:03.50
not exactly how you
start but how you what,
00:31:03.51\00:31:06.41
how you end up.
But as we've that
00:31:06.94\00:31:10.18
opportunity start for Christ,
00:31:10.19\00:31:11.29
let's do it positively,
let's do right because
00:31:11.30\00:31:13.92
it is right. I've had some
00:31:13.93\00:31:16.98
people who say
way you know I wanna
00:31:16.99\00:31:18.56
do the right thing
but there is going to
00:31:18.57\00:31:23.38
be a price to pay.
You've made changes
00:31:23.39\00:31:27.56
in your life and
you know you had to make
00:31:27.57\00:31:30.45
somethings right and
you knew there is gonna
00:31:30.46\00:31:34.15
be a price, may
cost you friendship,
00:31:34.16\00:31:37.90
may cost you position,
may be job but you want
00:31:39.48\00:31:42.99
to do the right
thing and then they say,
00:31:43.00\00:31:45.32
why should I do?
What kind of counsel
00:31:45.33\00:31:48.28
can you give to
anyone? When they say I wanna
00:31:48.29\00:31:51.71
do the right thing
what should I do but
00:31:53.80\00:31:54.77
it's gonna cost me.
00:31:54.78\00:31:55.75
You come to that
point I was reading a
00:31:57.72\00:31:59.26
Great Controversy
page 460 paragraph is
00:31:59.27\00:32:01.72
very
interesting, whatever may be
00:32:01.73\00:32:04.02
their
profession, it is only those
00:32:04.03\00:32:07.98
who are world servers
at heart that act from
00:32:07.99\00:32:13.23
policy rather than principle in
00:32:13.24\00:32:16.92
religious
things. We should choose
00:32:16.93\00:32:19.62
right because it is right,
00:32:19.63\00:32:24.63
and leave the
consequences with God.
00:32:24.64\00:32:27.14
In other words it
may cost you in this life
00:32:27.81\00:32:30.10
but leave the
consequences with God.
00:32:30.11\00:32:31.99
Do the right thing because it is
00:32:32.00\00:32:33.76
right and you leave
the consequences with God.
00:32:33.77\00:32:37.37
God will bless you for it,
00:32:37.55\00:32:38.96
yes it might cost you
in this life but you gotta
00:32:39.97\00:32:42.42
set things in
order, you've to got to
00:32:42.43\00:32:43.67
get your house
ready. Do right, right,
00:32:43.68\00:32:48.34
righteous, righteousness,
its always based upon
00:32:48.35\00:32:55.02
scripture always, no exception,
00:32:55.03\00:32:58.52
it is not based
on circumstances,
00:32:58.75\00:33:01.00
it is not based on situations,
00:33:01.01\00:33:03.43
its based on
the, the word of God.
00:33:05.03\00:33:06.72
And let me say friend
it is dangerous to depart
00:33:08.17\00:33:11.91
even for the very
first time from principle.
00:33:12.48\00:33:15.72
It can cause a
world of hurt for you,
00:33:16.85\00:33:19.86
maybe a situation you can never
00:33:20.61\00:33:22.07
reverse in this
life, one departure from
00:33:22.08\00:33:28.64
the truth and
what you know is right.
00:33:28.65\00:33:30.69
Well I was thinking about a man,
00:33:32.25\00:33:36.23
a man in the Bible
his name was Aaron,
00:33:37.23\00:33:41.61
Exodus chapter 30
just you get time you read
00:33:41.62\00:33:44.48
all of this but
here is a man who had a
00:33:44.49\00:33:48.77
departure from doing
the right things at time.
00:33:48.78\00:33:51.74
He never acted from
principle and it cost,
00:33:51.75\00:33:55.60
oh did it ever cost.
We hear lot about Moses
00:33:55.61\00:33:59.51
and sometime Aaron but wow,
00:34:00.47\00:34:03.27
Aaron was a Godly
man, he was a human but
00:34:03.81\00:34:06.87
he was a Godly
man, in fact he was,
00:34:06.88\00:34:08.69
Aaron was the high
priest, Aaron was a prophet,
00:34:09.09\00:34:12.41
listen Aaron was
a type of Christ.
00:34:12.42\00:34:17.51
Heard lot about Moses
very little about Aaron
00:34:18.75\00:34:20.49
at times you know
Aaron was in Gods presence
00:34:20.50\00:34:24.32
on the mount. God choose him
00:34:24.33\00:34:29.16
and his sons to
minister for him.
00:34:29.17\00:34:33.12
Aaron performed
miracles and yet what could
00:34:34.78\00:34:39.56
have taken
place, you may remember
00:34:39.57\00:34:45.05
that Moses was up in the mount,
00:34:45.06\00:34:46.98
Moses stayed with the people,
00:34:48.27\00:34:50.05
you know in Moses
absence, Aaron was incharge,
00:34:50.06\00:34:53.29
that's Exodus 19,
no time to read that.
00:34:55.82\00:34:58.68
Aaron was left
incharge the people were camped
00:34:58.92\00:35:01.66
around the base of the mount.
00:35:01.67\00:35:03.20
It wasn't very long
they became restless.
00:35:03.58\00:35:06.71
They wanted to party,
they had a lot of energy,
00:35:08.02\00:35:13.44
the little
reveling, a little excitement,
00:35:14.36\00:35:17.45
little merry
making, a little noise,
00:35:17.46\00:35:20.04
a little
festivity, you know what
00:35:20.05\00:35:22.99
would it hurt. They wanna just
00:35:23.00\00:35:26.25
you know do somethings
they are waiting for Moses
00:35:26.26\00:35:28.99
to comeback down and
so they go to the leader,
00:35:29.00\00:35:31.34
but there was two
things that Israel didn't
00:35:31.35\00:35:33.50
need in the
camp, and there are two
00:35:33.51\00:35:35.45
things that the church
doesn't need in its pews.
00:35:35.46\00:35:37.94
It doesn't need
it in the movement,
00:35:38.50\00:35:39.83
and sometime we get
little carried away.
00:35:41.99\00:35:43.62
I'll just
mention those two things,
00:35:43.63\00:35:45.43
the wrong spirit to
have for those who are
00:35:46.50\00:35:49.76
waiting for
Jesus to come reveling,
00:35:49.77\00:35:54.17
you say well that's
kind of a different world,
00:35:55.01\00:35:56.83
I don't know about
the spirit of reveling
00:35:56.84\00:35:58.38
that means people who
want to become too noisy,
00:35:58.39\00:36:01.06
people who want
to be too festive,
00:36:02.12\00:36:04.74
they are getting carried away,
00:36:05.62\00:36:07.41
it has to do with reveling.
00:36:07.42\00:36:10.77
That we don't need
to be carried away right
00:36:12.20\00:36:13.67
now we need to be
ground and firm and deep.
00:36:13.68\00:36:16.14
The only noise we need
to make is a noise that we
00:36:16.49\00:36:18.18
are telling about the
coming of Jesus Christ
00:36:18.19\00:36:20.10
in the clouds of
glory. We don't need to be
00:36:20.11\00:36:22.52
too festive right
now, we will have an
00:36:22.53\00:36:24.47
opportunity when we see Jesus,
00:36:24.48\00:36:26.32
we've a work to do right now.
00:36:27.15\00:36:28.57
Why? Because reveling
as it did to the children
00:36:30.51\00:36:33.71
of Israel led them
from a departure from God.
00:36:33.72\00:36:37.62
You've ever noticed
that someone since around
00:36:38.86\00:36:41.28
something a house
you get oh we are having
00:36:41.29\00:36:43.13
a party at Joe's house,
wow mark on the calendar,
00:36:43.14\00:36:48.07
we need to go to that party.
00:36:48.08\00:36:49.52
Same day you get an
another advertisement
00:36:49.92\00:36:51.99
you know well we
are having a meeting
00:36:52.00\00:36:53.10
at the church. No
we don't even talk
00:36:53.11\00:36:54.76
about that, you know we
00:36:54.77\00:36:55.74
can't attend the
meeting boy there is a party,
00:36:55.75\00:36:58.36
there is a big
fellowship launch,
00:36:58.89\00:37:00.12
there is a big bash somewhere,
00:37:00.38\00:37:02.17
there is a birthday
party, there is a shower,
00:37:02.18\00:37:04.53
there is a baby shower,
all of these things maybe
00:37:05.08\00:37:08.04
not bad within
themselves, but we wouldn't miss
00:37:08.05\00:37:10.43
one of those but we
can't find our way to church.
00:37:10.44\00:37:12.65
We can't find our way
to do the right thing but
00:37:13.83\00:37:17.04
we like to party, we like noise,
00:37:17.05\00:37:19.24
we like to be around laughter,
00:37:19.25\00:37:21.01
we like to be around games,
00:37:21.02\00:37:22.52
are you getting the point?
00:37:26.55\00:37:27.52
I am talking
about a failure on the
00:37:29.19\00:37:30.89
people part,
God's people of Israel,
00:37:30.90\00:37:34.35
when Moses was
getting the Ten Commandments,
00:37:34.36\00:37:37.54
and they came to
Moses it led to a complete,
00:37:38.76\00:37:43.93
because they
listen, because they just
00:37:43.94\00:37:45.64
wanted to party.
they wanted to party
00:37:45.65\00:37:49.58
around a little
bit, they sound surely
00:37:49.59\00:37:51.69
they say its
harmless, just have a few laughs
00:37:51.70\00:37:55.02
but before its
over they completely
00:37:55.86\00:37:57.21
departed from God,
this is how it starts,
00:37:57.22\00:38:00.18
it starts in the
home, starts in the family,
00:38:00.19\00:38:02.62
starts in the
school. Sometime we say oh
00:38:02.63\00:38:05.64
its just harmless, its not all,
00:38:05.65\00:38:06.77
complete departure.
These things were written
00:38:06.78\00:38:09.94
for admonition,
some of you say no
00:38:09.95\00:38:12.46
there is no way,
you need to wake up.
00:38:12.47\00:38:14.44
The Bible is clear
of these illustrations.
00:38:18.04\00:38:20.71
Remember the Bible
says in 1 Corinthians,
00:38:21.31\00:38:23.21
in that the Bible is written for
00:38:23.22\00:38:24.51
our what admonition,
1 Corinthians chapter
00:38:24.52\00:38:28.75
10 you read that
somewhere around 10, 11
00:38:28.76\00:38:31.74
said this is for
our what? Our example,
00:38:32.79\00:38:34.91
to see what happened
to God's people when they
00:38:36.18\00:38:38.30
were disobedient, and when they
00:38:38.31\00:38:40.28
were obedient. See there is
00:38:40.29\00:38:42.83
a word obey again, disobedient,
00:38:42.84\00:38:45.28
you still obeying
one spirit or the other
00:38:45.78\00:38:47.46
aren't you. And so
00:38:47.47\00:38:51.27
this spirit of what reveling,
00:38:51.28\00:38:53.51
the spirit is
always wanting to party and
00:38:53.52\00:38:55.52
to go out and have a good time,
00:38:55.53\00:38:57.11
be with
everybody, complete departure
00:38:57.54\00:39:02.69
from God it led to.
The second thing was
00:39:02.70\00:39:06.91
very interesting to me
the spirit of commonness,
00:39:06.92\00:39:12.77
common, you know
Isaiah 5 talks about here,
00:39:13.33\00:39:17.40
I can't spend much
time its fling the common
00:39:17.41\00:39:20.55
is it says we as a
people we begin to call good
00:39:20.56\00:39:24.52
evil and evil good. See we can,
00:39:24.53\00:39:28.44
there is not a
difference between that
00:39:29.11\00:39:30.51
which is common
and that which is holy.
00:39:30.52\00:39:32.61
See we forget that in
the sanctuary of the church
00:39:34.35\00:39:36.81
we've common thought
going on its holy ground.
00:39:36.82\00:39:40.18
Common thoughts,
its holy ground and
00:39:42.29\00:39:45.92
study someone
this right here and say
00:39:49.43\00:39:51.24
Kenny God helped me to
make better choices and
00:39:51.25\00:39:53.90
better decisions
because this is one
00:39:53.91\00:39:56.20
thing that common is
that we don't understand
00:39:56.21\00:39:58.31
what is common
and that which holy,
00:39:58.32\00:40:00.46
they say this
thought God hates commonness.
00:40:00.47\00:40:04.56
Spirit of Prophecy
that's exact word God hates.
00:40:06.39\00:40:08.79
wow, and that
simply means there is
00:40:11.79\00:40:14.51
no boundaries,
there is really no
00:40:14.52\00:40:17.92
difference in what
we do, and what we say
00:40:17.93\00:40:20.39
or where we're at,
it just its all of the
00:40:20.40\00:40:22.28
same thing and the
other word was I thought
00:40:22.29\00:40:25.06
interesting we are too familiar,
00:40:25.07\00:40:26.97
commonness is to familiar.
00:40:26.98\00:40:29.23
Do we get too familiar,
you remember Aaron sons,
00:40:30.77\00:40:36.68
Nadav and Avihu, remember them,
00:40:39.33\00:40:41.79
their sense
abilities were so numbed,
00:40:42.55\00:40:45.82
they know, made no
00:40:45.83\00:40:46.80
difference between
what, the sacred and the
00:40:46.81\00:40:50.00
common what happened
they lost their life.
00:40:50.01\00:40:54.25
They lost their
life from doing the
00:40:55.04\00:40:56.94
wrong thing, they did
00:40:56.95\00:40:58.82
not act from
principle, please stay with me.
00:40:58.83\00:41:01.29
Don't worry about
the phone ringing,
00:41:02.40\00:41:03.46
don't worry about
anything its going on,
00:41:03.47\00:41:04.60
this is very, very important
00:41:04.61\00:41:05.69
when I'm talking about
because there is too much
00:41:05.70\00:41:07.53
foolishness going on
in the sanctuaries today,
00:41:07.54\00:41:09.48
if God is present
there dear friends you must
00:41:09.49\00:41:13.88
conduct ourselves as
soul, but because of their
00:41:13.89\00:41:17.81
conduct Aaron son,
the high priest conduct
00:41:17.82\00:41:22.44
Aaron wasn't even
allowed to mourn over the death
00:41:23.00\00:41:27.38
of his two sons. God wanted
00:41:27.39\00:41:32.03
no sympathy, he shown up what
00:41:32.04\00:41:34.72
they were doing
because they couldn't make
00:41:34.73\00:41:37.03
a difference between common.
00:41:37.04\00:41:38.16
I said when you've
things in ministry that
00:41:38.17\00:41:40.60
belong to God, they are holy.
00:41:40.61\00:41:42.97
They should not be
used for secular things.
00:41:43.26\00:41:45.46
God holds us
accountable for those things.
00:41:47.88\00:41:49.94
Spirit of
commonness, when you know what
00:41:51.33\00:41:53.80
a commonness is, I've seen this
00:41:53.81\00:41:55.84
common practice in the
ministries and churches
00:41:55.85\00:41:59.58
today when the pastor
has your edacity to get
00:41:59.59\00:42:02.01
up in the pulp, but he has got
00:42:02.02\00:42:03.48
a pair of tennis shoes on,
00:42:03.49\00:42:04.46
some tight fitting
jeans, and his shirt button
00:42:04.47\00:42:07.55
all half way down
his chest and he is
00:42:07.56\00:42:09.59
sitting there
suppose to be representing
00:42:09.60\00:42:11.09
Jesus Christ.
He is representing,
00:42:11.10\00:42:13.46
he is supposed to
be setting something a
00:42:13.47\00:42:15.50
higher standard
for the people to see,
00:42:15.51\00:42:17.61
others may not be
able to afford anything
00:42:17.62\00:42:19.46
better and they are
doing the best they can,
00:42:19.47\00:42:21.17
but he can, he should know
00:42:21.18\00:42:22.73
the difference. If he wants to
00:42:22.74\00:42:24.21
dress like that, that's a party
00:42:24.22\00:42:25.41
time and he needs to
go out somewhere else.
00:42:25.42\00:42:27.03
He thinks he is
gonna reach people,
00:42:27.91\00:42:29.14
and they are gonna accept it.
00:42:29.15\00:42:30.12
No, they need a higher standard,
00:42:30.13\00:42:31.62
they need to see
that God is holy,
00:42:31.63\00:42:33.09
that Jesus is holy,
he demands a holy people,
00:42:33.10\00:42:35.55
we should conduct
ourselves as such.
00:42:36.04\00:42:37.62
Oh! We've lost it,
we've lost it because
00:42:42.59\00:42:43.56
of the commonness,
too familiar in our dress,
00:42:43.57\00:42:49.13
the way we dress, in
the way that we talk.
00:42:49.14\00:42:50.86
Some of you ladies
are dressing in the church
00:42:53.47\00:42:55.32
call itself last
day moment people you
00:42:55.33\00:42:57.73
love Jesus you show
way too much up here and
00:42:57.74\00:43:00.13
way too much down here,
dress like Christian men
00:43:00.14\00:43:05.06
and women, it's a
man too, too familiar.
00:43:05.07\00:43:09.09
I want to look at
several ways and I'm not gonna
00:43:10.72\00:43:12.25
have a lot of times
that Aaron showed his
00:43:12.26\00:43:14.31
weakness and lack of principle,
00:43:14.32\00:43:16.57
and lack of doing
right because it was right,
00:43:17.45\00:43:20.11
it cost, oh friend it cost,
00:43:21.40\00:43:26.54
commonness too
familiar. I've got to spend some
00:43:27.70\00:43:31.41
time on whether
I get done or not.
00:43:31.42\00:43:32.98
I've got to spend
some time on this because
00:43:33.53\00:43:36.12
you know what this
commonness and this
00:43:36.13\00:43:38.31
too familiar
with one and another,
00:43:38.32\00:43:40.54
see to me, men and women
00:43:41.13\00:43:42.26
are too familiar
with one another,
00:43:42.27\00:43:44.17
and the more familiar
you get the more problems
00:43:44.18\00:43:46.47
it can cause,
because this familiar
00:43:46.48\00:43:48.69
errata can cause un
Christ like behavior,
00:43:48.70\00:43:51.55
in words and in
actions. See the enemy uses
00:43:56.06\00:44:01.21
this commonness and
this familiar spirit such as
00:44:01.22\00:44:05.23
in flattering
statements. You know praise,
00:44:05.24\00:44:12.52
let me just to say
when I'm really on this
00:44:14.22\00:44:15.76
you know men in the
church you've no right
00:44:17.06\00:44:20.50
going up to another
women whether you are
00:44:20.51\00:44:22.35
married or not and
tell her that she looks
00:44:22.36\00:44:23.59
beautiful today,
that's not your wife,
00:44:23.60\00:44:26.02
you need to stop
it. People in church
00:44:26.03\00:44:29.55
comes down, a woman comes
00:44:29.56\00:44:30.82
in I actually married men,
00:44:30.83\00:44:32.03
married women
look a them and say oh
00:44:32.04\00:44:34.71
that's a very
pretty dress you've,
00:44:34.72\00:44:36.11
because you shouldn't
be noticing somebody's
00:44:36.38\00:44:38.03
else dress. We can
00:44:38.04\00:44:40.47
detect that's something nice
00:44:40.48\00:44:41.82
or they are
neatly done as they come
00:44:41.83\00:44:43.30
into the church, oh your hair is
00:44:43.31\00:44:44.99
beautiful oh I
just love your hair,
00:44:45.00\00:44:46.65
oh I just love your eyes,
00:44:46.66\00:44:47.63
you brother had
stepped out of bounds.
00:44:47.64\00:44:49.98
You've no right
to do that and the
00:44:51.04\00:44:52.65
women who was
addressed and familiar as
00:44:52.66\00:44:54.67
commonness right
there needs to say that
00:44:54.68\00:44:56.67
thank you and just move on,
00:44:57.08\00:44:58.35
say nothing about just move on.
00:44:58.36\00:44:59.68
Do not accept because
that is from the enemy.
00:44:59.84\00:45:03.42
Man has no right to do that,
00:45:04.11\00:45:05.75
you haven't studied
these things where you need
00:45:06.24\00:45:07.78
to be in Gods
word. You need to be
00:45:07.79\00:45:08.76
in the sprit of
prophecy, you see exactly what
00:45:08.77\00:45:10.51
I'm talking
about. In fact we'll run
00:45:10.52\00:45:13.52
over really
quickly, it says simply
00:45:13.53\00:45:14.62
when some body flatters you,
00:45:14.63\00:45:15.78
its flattery it is of the devil,
00:45:15.79\00:45:18.71
do not receive. Now if another
00:45:19.39\00:45:20.76
woman comes up to
another women said
00:45:20.77\00:45:22.13
you look good, a man says it
00:45:22.14\00:45:23.31
is a nice suite,
but between opposites
00:45:23.32\00:45:26.24
there stop it, stop it, stop it.
00:45:26.25\00:45:29.40
It's not pleasing to God,
00:45:30.70\00:45:31.84
you say you are
preparing for heaven,
00:45:32.89\00:45:34.31
don't receive
flattery, Christ never
00:45:34.74\00:45:38.32
used flattery, beware of giving
00:45:38.33\00:45:42.25
flattery to our
youth, the little children.
00:45:42.26\00:45:45.49
Oh! They're so cute,
00:45:45.50\00:45:46.47
oh! They are
saying the sweetest thing,
00:45:46.48\00:45:47.46
honey say what you said to her,
00:45:47.47\00:45:48.90
there goes the
head, care how they do
00:45:48.96\00:45:51.72
with them little
later on in the life,
00:45:51.73\00:45:53.10
they got the big head.
00:45:53.11\00:45:54.08
It's okay to commend
them, and encourage them
00:45:55.77\00:45:57.46
but be careful not flattery,
00:45:57.47\00:45:59.01
inspiration says
women should never give me
00:46:01.50\00:46:03.69
flattery and vice versa.
00:46:03.70\00:46:05.92
Its deceiving, its infatuating,
00:46:09.21\00:46:12.13
and you know what
these very words what
00:46:13.64\00:46:15.17
you're loosely going
around giving to others
00:46:15.18\00:46:17.77
you'll meet those
words in the judgment.
00:46:17.78\00:46:22.32
Do you want to?
Need to make it right
00:46:23.19\00:46:25.76
while you can? In fact flattery,
00:46:25.77\00:46:30.18
Spirit of Prophecy
says that Satan uses
00:46:31.20\00:46:32.72
to destroy souls, see how we got
00:46:32.73\00:46:36.07
so common now that
everything there no
00:46:36.08\00:46:38.28
really thing
holy that will need,
00:46:38.29\00:46:39.87
that we don't understand what
00:46:39.88\00:46:41.30
I'm talking
about up here like all
00:46:41.31\00:46:43.15
that so silly. No, its not,
00:46:43.16\00:46:44.98
the world is in a
mess because of it today.
00:46:44.99\00:46:47.52
Spirit of
Prophecy wants us and needs
00:46:50.33\00:46:51.58
be though undo
familiarity between
00:46:51.59\00:46:53.75
boys and girls be
careful, God condemns it.
00:46:53.76\00:46:58.17
God condemns it dear friends,
00:47:01.62\00:47:02.70
we need to condemn
it don't you think.
00:47:02.71\00:47:04.07
Over familiarity
leads to in fact it causes
00:47:06.21\00:47:11.80
sin to a peerless sinful,
00:47:11.81\00:47:14.53
the more familiar you are,
00:47:14.54\00:47:15.86
sin doesn't seem
quite to be so sinful.
00:47:15.87\00:47:19.17
Its less
repulsive then what it is
00:47:19.57\00:47:22.87
because we are too familiar,
00:47:22.88\00:47:24.07
we can't call sin
by its right name.
00:47:24.08\00:47:25.95
Satan uses
familiarity the commonness to
00:47:27.16\00:47:29.93
educate the mind. One act,
00:47:29.94\00:47:34.27
just one act of familiarity,
00:47:34.28\00:47:37.44
one act of familiarity
may jeopardize the soul
00:47:37.45\00:47:41.76
for eternity. Read that in
00:47:41.77\00:47:43.98
Adventist Home by the way 404,
00:47:43.99\00:47:45.88
and these warnings
may I just reading it
00:47:47.14\00:47:48.85
now a right now
I'm gonna get into
00:47:48.86\00:47:49.91
trouble anyway, I might so just
00:47:49.92\00:47:51.02
take good one.
00:47:51.03\00:47:52.00
And I'm not talking
about being too familiar,
00:47:55.19\00:47:57.45
I'm talking about
talking about positions,
00:47:57.93\00:47:59.34
I'm talking about nurses,
00:47:59.35\00:48:01.19
I'm talking
about school teachers,
00:48:02.11\00:48:03.64
I'm talking about pastors,
00:48:03.65\00:48:04.66
leaders, people
who work with you
00:48:04.67\00:48:07.73
know other folks, and this may
00:48:07.74\00:48:10.81
I go ahead a say
the women you need not
00:48:10.82\00:48:12.60
confine about your
home life with another man,
00:48:12.61\00:48:14.61
vice versa. It leads to
00:48:15.67\00:48:17.80
all kind of
trouble, it leads down to
00:48:17.81\00:48:19.93
wrong path. Did we say
00:48:19.94\00:48:21.82
do right because it is right.
00:48:21.83\00:48:24.57
Oh! That's an
awful lot to chew on
00:48:27.10\00:48:29.85
isn't it makes us
cough a little bit say wow,
00:48:29.86\00:48:32.36
man that's too
much, he's gone to Medley.
00:48:32.37\00:48:34.29
Now that's the word of God the
00:48:35.57\00:48:37.22
world in a crises right now,
00:48:37.23\00:48:39.08
in the work places
because it's too familiar
00:48:39.81\00:48:42.89
with one another,
men are too familiar
00:48:42.90\00:48:45.18
with women and
vice versa and it leads
00:48:45.19\00:48:47.11
to undo wrong
actions and thoughts.
00:48:47.12\00:48:49.69
Aaron he was
weak, was a weak leader,
00:48:56.14\00:48:57.11
his weaknesses, that's just name
00:48:57.12\00:48:58.46
them quickly we
get few minutes left,
00:48:58.47\00:49:00.10
we're gonna name
some of his weaknesses.
00:49:00.11\00:49:01.67
He didn't stand
firmly against the people
00:49:02.60\00:49:05.86
as they reveal that
they wanted to party.
00:49:05.87\00:49:08.41
Here was his first mistake,
00:49:08.42\00:49:09.61
when the people come
to a leader you are the
00:49:09.62\00:49:12.52
pastor of the
church, you're a leader or
00:49:12.53\00:49:13.76
whatever in a ministry,
and the people come and
00:49:13.77\00:49:15.76
say you know I think
we all to do this and
00:49:15.77\00:49:17.23
we all to do
that, you need to stand
00:49:17.24\00:49:18.81
for right principle,
right then right there,
00:49:18.82\00:49:21.19
shut it off.
Aaron did not do that,
00:49:21.20\00:49:26.43
he let them have their way.
00:49:28.87\00:49:30.68
We've to scorch it
when something comes that's
00:49:33.61\00:49:36.23
wrong and we know you
scouted it immediately.
00:49:36.24\00:49:39.16
Anything out of
harmony with the Bible see
00:49:39.64\00:49:41.95
if Aaron have done
this it would saved Israel
00:49:41.96\00:49:45.12
from the mess that they had they
00:49:45.13\00:49:46.33
went through. He had that
00:49:46.34\00:49:48.95
authority to do,
he did not use that
00:49:48.96\00:49:50.78
authority because
he was a weak link,
00:49:50.79\00:49:53.74
a weak link with his children,
00:49:53.75\00:49:55.03
weak link in the home.
He didn't like it make his
00:49:55.04\00:49:57.46
children obey
him. Oh! You can study
00:49:57.47\00:50:00.08
and read about some of
this thing you know was
00:50:00.09\00:50:01.66
meant God used
in miraculous way.
00:50:01.67\00:50:03.66
There were some
weaknesses here that
00:50:03.84\00:50:05.03
we can learn
from. When you know this
00:50:05.04\00:50:08.35
wrong somebody
comes in church say well
00:50:08.36\00:50:09.87
we need a, I want to
00:50:09.88\00:50:12.26
say directly; you know we
00:50:12.27\00:50:13.26
just pastor, you know we
00:50:13.27\00:50:14.36
want to a Halloween
party in the church say no.
00:50:14.37\00:50:16.29
We're not having
a Halloween party
00:50:17.21\00:50:18.50
in our church. We are not going
00:50:18.51\00:50:19.69
to be worshiping the devil,
00:50:19.70\00:50:20.67
stop it, scorch it,
stop on it, don't ask well
00:50:21.39\00:50:25.19
we need to vote on
it, we got to need to call
00:50:25.20\00:50:26.77
another meeting and
see what the people want
00:50:26.78\00:50:28.51
to do about it, say no,
00:50:28.52\00:50:30.06
we are not going to have it.
00:50:30.07\00:50:31.15
Put it down, keep it down,
00:50:31.16\00:50:32.65
you know chock it
out. This is what stops it
00:50:32.66\00:50:38.29
that Aaron could not do that.
00:50:38.30\00:50:39.73
Number two, he didn't exercise
00:50:39.74\00:50:41.90
his authority,
remember he was weak,
00:50:41.91\00:50:45.50
he didn't stand firm
against the people as they
00:50:45.51\00:50:47.76
said we want to do this first.
00:50:47.77\00:50:49.24
Number two is he
didn't exercise his God given
00:50:49.61\00:50:52.15
authority with the people.
00:50:52.16\00:50:53.66
He could have kept the
people in check because
00:50:54.08\00:50:56.35
they recognize that
he was a leader and he
00:50:56.36\00:50:58.46
could have said
no, we are not going
00:50:58.47\00:50:59.85
to do that thing.
They knew that God had
00:50:59.86\00:51:02.84
appointed him, he could have
00:51:02.85\00:51:04.42
stopped this
apostasy, he did not do that.
00:51:04.43\00:51:06.80
Hebrews 13:17 the
Bible says obey them that
00:51:07.70\00:51:11.79
have the rule over
you, and submit yourselves.
00:51:11.80\00:51:16.54
You guys have
little submitting there is
00:51:17.12\00:51:19.03
in the church now day they,
00:51:19.04\00:51:20.24
there is no respect
for the pastor and the
00:51:20.25\00:51:21.68
elders and the deacons anymore.
00:51:21.69\00:51:23.15
Doesn't mean they are
better than any of us,
00:51:23.66\00:51:25.13
but they have a
position and it is a
00:51:25.14\00:51:26.17
God given position,
the Bible says here that
00:51:26.18\00:51:28.72
you obey them that
have the rule over you,
00:51:28.73\00:51:31.30
you submit to
them. You say well that's
00:51:31.31\00:51:33.98
not good enough.
How about Titus 2:15
00:51:33.99\00:51:35.97
the Bible says speak
and exhort and to rebuke
00:51:35.98\00:51:40.08
with all
authority. He is talking about
00:51:40.09\00:51:42.40
elders of the
church, with all what?
00:51:42.41\00:51:45.53
With all
authority, do the right thing
00:51:45.54\00:51:50.56
because what its
right. Three he had a
00:51:50.57\00:51:55.15
desire to please the people,
00:51:55.16\00:51:56.99
he was a people pleaser
and I find many of those
00:51:57.00\00:51:59.73
in the movement
today. You are people pleaser
00:51:59.74\00:52:03.23
even have to
sacrifice the principle,
00:52:03.24\00:52:05.49
you just want
to please somebody.
00:52:05.50\00:52:07.14
Wow, men pleasers,
Ephesians 6:6 says:
00:52:08.95\00:52:12.41
Not with eyeservice
as menpleasers but as
00:52:12.90\00:52:16.58
a servant of
Christ. What does it mean,
00:52:16.59\00:52:18.79
not with the eyeservice?
It says we be careful
00:52:18.80\00:52:23.36
because these menpleasers you
00:52:23.37\00:52:24.69
know trying to
please men the eyeservice
00:52:24.70\00:52:26.56
here we've to
what, there is someone
00:52:26.57\00:52:28.34
who needs
watching. You need to watch
00:52:28.35\00:52:30.28
these kind of
people that's trying to
00:52:30.29\00:52:31.93
please men all the time,
00:52:31.94\00:52:32.95
and they are not trying to,
00:52:32.96\00:52:34.01
they are not pleasing God.
00:52:34.02\00:52:35.10
And I looked up there
what I thought was hatred,
00:52:37.83\00:52:38.97
they said one who man courts,
00:52:38.98\00:52:42.91
man courting, you are courting
00:52:43.88\00:52:46.55
your fellow men you
know you're just trying to
00:52:46.56\00:52:48.03
give kind a what they want,
00:52:48.04\00:52:49.01
you're trying to be
pleasing and kind of some
00:52:49.02\00:52:50.47
of you do with
the woman you marry.
00:52:50.48\00:52:52.94
Well open your
eyes the Bible said
00:52:54.51\00:52:56.93
we need to open,
we need to remember
00:52:56.94\00:52:59.71
last couple of
minutes here his no,
00:52:59.72\00:53:01.52
Aaron's no, even as a father
00:53:01.53\00:53:04.58
he failed because he would not
00:53:04.59\00:53:06.71
correct his children.
He didn't trained them
00:53:06.72\00:53:09.87
when they were
young and self control.
00:53:09.88\00:53:11.34
Self control led
to self indulgence,
00:53:12.02\00:53:14.07
they were not taught to respect
00:53:14.74\00:53:16.01
authority of their
father. They didn't realize
00:53:16.02\00:53:19.01
the necessity of
strict obedience,
00:53:19.02\00:53:21.50
and they fell
short, he lost his sons
00:53:21.51\00:53:23.91
they lost eternal life death,
00:53:23.92\00:53:26.52
why because he didn't want to
00:53:28.16\00:53:30.72
correct his
children. He didn't want to
00:53:30.73\00:53:34.71
correct his
children, they need correcting.
00:53:34.72\00:53:36.84
Aaron lacked the firmness of a
00:53:38.15\00:53:41.00
right and he
neglected discipline.
00:53:41.01\00:53:44.56
When he disciplined
in the home regards of
00:53:44.57\00:53:47.05
what the world says
I'm talking about abuse,
00:53:47.06\00:53:48.80
I'm talking about discipline.
00:53:48.81\00:53:50.10
Five, he lost control
of the people the church,
00:53:51.14\00:53:53.02
as soon as he gave
permission the very
00:53:53.03\00:53:55.85
first time that
allowed the people to go
00:53:55.86\00:53:58.41
against God's
word, he lost control.
00:53:58.42\00:54:00.87
Let me say this
quickly Adam and Eve the
00:54:01.34\00:54:04.08
first time that they
submitted to the will
00:54:04.09\00:54:10.37
outside of the will
of God they lost control.
00:54:10.38\00:54:12.74
Wow, they lost
control, yeah lost control
00:54:15.00\00:54:20.21
of their self, they lost control
00:54:20.22\00:54:21.49
of the world, when they went
00:54:21.50\00:54:23.19
contrary to Gods word and we can
00:54:23.20\00:54:24.66
do the same thing.
I wanna pray for you
00:54:24.67\00:54:26.91
today as we
close. You know we need
00:54:26.92\00:54:29.56
some changes in the
home, we need some changes
00:54:29.57\00:54:31.39
in the church, we need changes
00:54:31.40\00:54:32.96
in the world. They can only
00:54:32.97\00:54:35.18
come by beholding
him by studying his word
00:54:35.19\00:54:37.61
and seeing what he
has for us and saying
00:54:37.62\00:54:39.78
God help me to do
right because it is right.
00:54:39.79\00:54:42.08
Even the midst
of the quicken and
00:54:42.94\00:54:44.05
perverse word lot
I want to do right,
00:54:44.06\00:54:45.92
I don't want to
sacrifice principle ever.
00:54:46.97\00:54:48.56
And I'm gonna pray right now,
00:54:51.30\00:54:52.40
you pray with me,
the God will help us
00:54:52.41\00:54:54.17
get us Holy Spirit
power. We might be prepared
00:54:54.18\00:54:56.29
to meet him when he
come. Let's pray together.
00:54:56.30\00:54:58.82
Kind loving heavenly Father,
00:54:59.92\00:55:00.89
we thank you for your word,
00:55:00.90\00:55:02.05
we thank you. We realized that
00:55:02.06\00:55:04.07
message today is
straight testimony,
00:55:04.08\00:55:06.11
and as straight testimony comes
00:55:06.92\00:55:08.09
to your people we
pray that we will heed that
00:55:08.10\00:55:10.11
calling and we'll so
prepare our hearts and
00:55:10.12\00:55:12.60
our lives in the
Jesus when he shall come.
00:55:12.61\00:55:14.67
We need to be
obedient unto the very and
00:55:15.55\00:55:17.71
obedient everywhere
that proceeds out of
00:55:17.72\00:55:19.89
the mouth of God.
Thank for hearing,
00:55:19.90\00:55:21.28
thanking for answering prayer.
00:55:21.29\00:55:22.44
Thank you for
those who have made that
00:55:22.76\00:55:23.79
decision for Jesus
Christ in his name we pray
00:55:23.80\00:55:26.72
and for His sake. Amen.
00:55:26.73\00:55:28.67
Well once again as
we always say we are
00:55:32.61\00:55:34.77
so very grateful and
thankful that we've the
00:55:34.78\00:55:36.83
opportunity to come
into your home and we look
00:55:36.84\00:55:39.61
forward to this
time and set aside.
00:55:39.62\00:55:41.56
We love you, God bless you,
00:55:41.57\00:55:42.95
we'll see you next time.
00:55:42.96\00:55:44.54
Doing right because it is right,
00:55:47.01\00:55:49.72
is a lesson that
we all need to learn.
00:55:50.45\00:55:52.65
Truly it may
cut right across our
00:55:53.02\00:55:55.07
brains at times but
that is a pass that's
00:55:55.08\00:55:58.47
just a part of
the process of our
00:55:58.48\00:56:01.14
refinement for
the kingdom of heaven.
00:56:01.15\00:56:03.63
Our Godly principles
brothers and sisters,
00:56:04.07\00:56:06.66
we are never, never to waiver
00:56:06.67\00:56:09.34
just think of all
the misery and heartache
00:56:09.35\00:56:12.40
that would have
been avoided in our lives
00:56:12.41\00:56:14.94
if we had only
followed the teaching of Gods
00:56:14.95\00:56:18.77
word and listen to his voice.
00:56:18.78\00:56:20.63
How much better
life would have been
00:56:21.03\00:56:23.12
for all of us in the
past? As Christian we are
00:56:23.13\00:56:26.73
to reflect the
character of Christ and we know
00:56:26.74\00:56:29.62
from scriptures
that Christ lived a life
00:56:29.63\00:56:32.01
of always doing
what was right even,
00:56:32.02\00:56:34.33
even when it meant
the loss of his life.
00:56:34.79\00:56:37.99
We too need our
daily prayer for the power;
00:56:38.68\00:56:41.69
we need to pray daily
for the power to do what
00:56:41.70\00:56:44.53
is right and every
decision of our life.
00:56:44.54\00:56:48.30
We need to come to
the point that we would
00:56:48.84\00:56:50.66
rather die than sin,
that's a heavy thought
00:56:50.67\00:56:53.11
I want you to think about it.
00:56:53.12\00:56:54.23
We would rather die than sin.
00:56:54.63\00:56:56.72
This is the type of
faith that will only
00:56:57.16\00:56:59.99
come with a strong
connection with Christ.
00:57:00.00\00:57:02.76
So, won't you
make Him first and last
00:57:03.16\00:57:06.03
and everything in
your life today and for
00:57:06.43\00:57:09.17
ever you'll be so
thankful that you did.
00:57:09.18\00:57:11.91
And in closing we
hope that you call and ask
00:57:12.37\00:57:14.94
