Hello, and welcome back
to Behold the Lamb presents.
00:00:39.00\00:00:41.50
I'm Chris Shelton, your host.
00:00:41.54\00:00:42.87
I want to thank
you for joining us.
00:00:42.90\00:00:44.84
Today's message is
Satan Zeros In, part 2.
00:00:44.87\00:00:48.78
And I want you
to just think back
00:00:48.81\00:00:50.95
to the Garden of Eden.
00:00:50.98\00:00:52.35
After the fall in the garden,
God did something different.
00:00:52.38\00:00:55.62
He did something that maybe
we didn't quite understand.
00:00:55.65\00:00:58.62
It says that God put enmity
between Satan and His people,
00:00:58.65\00:01:03.56
God's people, His church.
00:01:03.59\00:01:05.59
Have you ever
wondered what enmity was?
00:01:05.63\00:01:08.40
Enmity is a state
00:01:08.43\00:01:10.07
or being of actively
opposing something or someone.
00:01:10.10\00:01:15.87
So it's a state of feeling
00:01:15.90\00:01:18.74
of actively opposing
someone or something.
00:01:18.77\00:01:22.81
By this action, I want you
to listen to this very closely.
00:01:22.84\00:01:26.41
By this action, God
was actually protecting
00:01:26.45\00:01:30.79
the whole human race.
00:01:30.82\00:01:33.86
It may not be obvious
unless you've gone back
00:01:33.89\00:01:36.32
and maybe read some of
this in the great controversy,
00:01:36.36\00:01:39.16
but He was protecting
you and He was protecting me
00:01:39.19\00:01:42.26
because if He hadn't done this,
00:01:42.30\00:01:43.90
the whole human race
would have sided with Satan
00:01:43.93\00:01:47.34
and would have been
against the God of heaven.
00:01:47.37\00:01:50.54
This act of placing enmity
between the church and Satan
00:01:50.57\00:01:54.51
was part of the
great plan of salvation.
00:01:54.54\00:01:57.18
I love that.
00:01:57.21\00:01:58.55
I felt like the
Lord had given me that
00:01:58.58\00:01:59.91
thought early this morning
00:01:59.95\00:02:01.28
to draw all of our
hearts and our minds
00:02:01.32\00:02:03.49
and God's children
00:02:03.52\00:02:04.95
into a saving
relationship with Him,
00:02:04.99\00:02:08.29
a relationship that
would allow men and women
00:02:08.32\00:02:11.46
to repopulate heaven.
00:02:11.49\00:02:13.60
And think about it.
00:02:13.63\00:02:14.96
You've often
heard Pastor Kenny say
00:02:15.00\00:02:17.27
that he believes
that we will be the ones
00:02:17.30\00:02:19.47
that will replace
the third of those angels
00:02:19.50\00:02:22.24
that fell from heaven.
00:02:22.27\00:02:24.11
They fell from heaven
because they were deceived
00:02:24.14\00:02:27.18
and the one that
deceived them was Lucifer,
00:02:27.21\00:02:30.55
which we now call Satan.
00:02:30.58\00:02:32.61
This war of souls
obviously began in heaven
00:02:32.65\00:02:36.72
and is still very active today.
00:02:36.75\00:02:39.32
And as we realizes,
day by day continues on
00:02:39.35\00:02:43.46
that it is
escalating in intensity
00:02:43.49\00:02:46.36
as we are now entering
into the very last moments
00:02:46.39\00:02:49.83
of this world's history.
00:02:49.86\00:02:51.40
Satan realizes church,
00:02:51.43\00:02:53.57
Satan realizes
those of you who at home,
00:02:53.60\00:02:56.07
that his time to even be
alive is very, very short.
00:02:56.10\00:03:00.01
He realizes it even
much more than we do,
00:03:00.04\00:03:03.08
and it is his goal
to keep as many of us,
00:03:03.11\00:03:08.32
as many souls as he possibly can
00:03:08.35\00:03:11.19
from entering
into those pearly gates
00:03:11.22\00:03:13.42
from which he was cast out.
00:03:13.46\00:03:16.32
Thus, Satan is zeroing in,
00:03:16.36\00:03:19.13
he is ramping up
his tactics of deceit
00:03:19.16\00:03:23.20
and he's getting ready.
00:03:23.23\00:03:24.93
Listen, he's getting
ready for his final deception,
00:03:24.97\00:03:28.14
his final push against
God and against his church,
00:03:28.17\00:03:33.04
of which I hope all
of you are a part of.
00:03:33.07\00:03:36.31
We invite you
today to stay tuned
00:03:36.34\00:03:38.58
and listen to Pastor
Kenny as he presents,
00:03:38.61\00:03:41.15
Satan is zeroing in part two,
00:03:41.18\00:03:43.35
but first we're going
to take just a quick break
00:03:43.39\00:03:45.75
and we're going to visit
3ABN and listen to a song
00:03:45.79\00:03:48.79
that is entitled I will
go as sung by Ashley Sabol.
00:03:48.82\00:03:52.99
Give me ears to hear Your Spirit
00:04:20.66\00:04:27.10
Give me feet to follow through
00:04:27.13\00:04:32.37
Give me hands to
touch the hurting
00:04:32.40\00:04:38.34
And the faith to follow You
00:04:38.37\00:04:44.35
Give me grace to be a servant
00:04:47.88\00:04:54.16
Give me mercy for the lost
00:04:54.19\00:04:59.53
Give me passion for Your glory
00:04:59.56\00:05:05.70
Give me passion for the cross
00:05:05.73\00:05:11.64
And I will go where
there are no easy roads
00:05:11.67\00:05:17.91
Leave the comforts that I know
00:05:17.95\00:05:23.45
I will go and let
this journey be my home
00:05:23.49\00:05:29.92
I will go
00:05:29.96\00:05:33.40
I will go
00:05:33.43\00:05:39.40
I'll let go of my ambitions
00:05:51.88\00:05:58.35
Cut the roots that run too deep
00:05:58.39\00:06:03.53
I will learn to give away
00:06:03.56\00:06:09.76
What I cannot really keep
00:06:09.80\00:06:15.00
What I cannot
00:06:15.04\00:06:17.91
Really keep
00:06:17.94\00:06:22.34
Help me see
00:06:22.38\00:06:26.18
With eyes of faith
00:06:26.21\00:06:30.09
Give me strength
00:06:30.12\00:06:33.62
To run this race
00:06:33.66\00:06:37.86
And I will go where
there are no easy roads
00:06:37.89\00:06:44.33
Leave the comforts that I know
00:06:44.37\00:06:50.21
I will go and let
this journey be my home
00:06:50.24\00:06:56.18
I will go
00:06:56.21\00:06:59.21
I will go
00:06:59.25\00:07:02.32
And I will go Lord
00:07:02.35\00:07:05.02
Where Your glory is unknown
00:07:05.05\00:07:08.89
I will live for You alone
00:07:08.92\00:07:14.86
I will go because
my life is not my own
00:07:14.90\00:07:21.54
I will go
00:07:21.57\00:07:25.37
I will go
00:07:25.41\00:07:29.91
I will go
00:07:29.94\00:07:35.92
Thanks for
joining us once again here
00:07:49.73\00:07:51.37
at Behold the Lamb Ministries.
00:07:51.40\00:07:52.73
Again, it's always...
00:07:52.77\00:07:54.10
I'd say it's a
treat, it's a blessing
00:07:54.14\00:07:55.47
to be able to
come into your home
00:07:55.50\00:07:57.21
wherever you might be
00:07:57.24\00:07:58.57
and to be able to study
the Word of God together.
00:07:58.61\00:08:00.98
I always look forward to
that, it's such a blessing,
00:08:01.01\00:08:03.35
at least to me as I
prepare these messages
00:08:03.38\00:08:05.41
and you know
spend time with Him.
00:08:05.45\00:08:07.15
And, first of all,
00:08:07.18\00:08:08.52
you know, I'm wanting
to fit for me in my life
00:08:08.55\00:08:10.22
and I want to be
a blessing for me.
00:08:10.25\00:08:11.59
And as I see, it's a blessing
for me to study this message,
00:08:11.62\00:08:14.76
I pray by the grace of God
00:08:14.79\00:08:16.12
is going to be a
real blessing to you.
00:08:16.16\00:08:17.53
Maybe an eye-opener to a few,
00:08:17.56\00:08:19.19
maybe just a reminder to others,
00:08:19.23\00:08:21.63
the coming of Jesus
and God has a church,
00:08:21.66\00:08:24.27
He has a people with a
specific message to give
00:08:24.30\00:08:27.80
and we need to be thankful.
00:08:27.84\00:08:29.17
If you realize that how happy
00:08:29.20\00:08:31.41
that each one of us
should be to realize
00:08:31.44\00:08:34.08
that God has a church
and it is identifiable,
00:08:34.11\00:08:37.25
based upon the Word of God.
00:08:37.28\00:08:38.61
We're going to be
looking at our message today
00:08:38.65\00:08:40.25
Satan zeros in.
00:08:40.28\00:08:43.79
Did you get it? Satan zeroes in.
00:08:43.82\00:08:46.19
And he began as mentioned
00:08:46.22\00:08:48.06
because he
realized his time is short.
00:08:48.09\00:08:51.36
He's wanting to take out
as many as he can take out.
00:08:51.39\00:08:54.90
By God's grace, right,
we're gonna hang in there
00:08:54.93\00:08:57.40
by the grace of God and do
what God has asked us to do
00:08:57.43\00:08:59.70
but always before again,
00:08:59.73\00:09:01.07
we thank you for your cards,
your letter, your support,
00:09:01.10\00:09:03.10
and sometimes even
your differences of opinion.
00:09:03.14\00:09:05.91
You can feel free to do that.
00:09:05.94\00:09:08.51
Because most of
you when you write in,
00:09:08.54\00:09:10.31
not most of it, some
of that writes in and say,
00:09:10.35\00:09:12.71
you know, if you
listen to what I have to say,
00:09:12.75\00:09:14.98
then you'll learn something.
00:09:15.02\00:09:17.29
So I'm thankful for those also,
00:09:17.32\00:09:20.09
you know, as we say
it's all right, it's good
00:09:20.12\00:09:21.92
because I always want
to look at those things.
00:09:21.96\00:09:24.06
God has light, and
we always in regards
00:09:24.09\00:09:26.16
to where somebody comes from,
00:09:26.19\00:09:27.53
there may be something that
God has in mind in store for us,
00:09:27.56\00:09:30.57
but doesn't take very long
00:09:30.60\00:09:32.20
as you get into some
time what some had to say.
00:09:32.23\00:09:35.67
You can see it
deviates from scripture,
00:09:35.70\00:09:37.54
and so forth there
I just leave it there.
00:09:37.57\00:09:39.47
Man, we're glad you join us.
00:09:39.51\00:09:40.84
We're going to have
prayers we always do.
00:09:40.88\00:09:42.61
I'm going to kneel up here.
00:09:42.64\00:09:43.98
Those of you at home
watching, please kneel with me,
00:09:44.01\00:09:46.21
those of you who
cannot maybe in a car,
00:09:46.25\00:09:48.15
just lift your
hearts up to God right now
00:09:48.18\00:09:50.12
as we pray for
power from on high.
00:09:50.15\00:09:53.42
Merciful God in heaven,
00:09:53.46\00:09:54.79
we thank You again for
the privilege of prayer.
00:09:54.82\00:09:56.29
We thank You that we
can call You our Father.
00:09:56.32\00:09:58.43
Lord, with great
confidence we come before Thee
00:09:58.46\00:10:01.43
because not of man but
what You said in Your Word.
00:10:01.46\00:10:04.27
You said we can come
boldly to the throne of God,
00:10:04.30\00:10:06.87
to find grace and
help in our time of need.
00:10:06.90\00:10:08.97
Lord, I need some help.
00:10:09.00\00:10:10.74
So I pray that
Your Holy Spirit now
00:10:10.77\00:10:12.44
will take my mind, my heart,
00:10:12.47\00:10:14.11
I pray to you your
blood will cover of any sin,
00:10:14.14\00:10:16.34
anything in my heart and
life that needs not be there.
00:10:16.38\00:10:18.38
Oh Lord, I need
to hear from You.
00:10:18.41\00:10:20.18
Your church, Your
body, Your children
00:10:20.22\00:10:21.92
need to hear from you today
00:10:21.95\00:10:23.35
maybe that which
someone may learn something
00:10:23.39\00:10:26.12
that will draw them
closer to Jesus today.
00:10:26.15\00:10:28.39
Give us
confidence in where we are at
00:10:28.42\00:10:30.29
in our walk with You
00:10:30.33\00:10:31.66
that we may continue on,
00:10:31.69\00:10:33.03
in Jesus' name we
pray as we thank you.
00:10:33.06\00:10:34.60
Amen.
00:10:34.63\00:10:36.97
Again, if you have your Bible,
00:10:37.00\00:10:38.33
please turn to Revelation 12:17,
00:10:38.37\00:10:43.34
I can remember
this text from umpteen,
00:10:43.37\00:10:46.78
can I say umpteen?
00:10:46.81\00:10:48.14
I'm not sure how
many years that is.
00:10:48.18\00:10:49.51
Umpteen, that
means many, doesn't it?
00:10:49.54\00:10:51.05
Umpteen, many,
many years as a child.
00:10:51.08\00:10:54.62
I remember, Pastor reading
this passage of Scripture
00:10:54.65\00:10:57.52
and it always
meant something to me,
00:10:57.55\00:10:59.49
Revelation 12:17.
00:10:59.52\00:11:00.99
Now I'll tell you why
it meant something to me
00:11:01.02\00:11:03.06
and it still does today
00:11:03.09\00:11:04.59
because this is
a dynamite passage
00:11:04.63\00:11:07.33
of Scripture
00:11:07.36\00:11:08.70
that identifies
God's last day church.
00:11:08.73\00:11:11.50
Now I know everybody out there
00:11:11.53\00:11:13.44
don't care what
church you go to,
00:11:13.47\00:11:14.80
you're gonna say
that's us but I say,
00:11:14.84\00:11:16.57
well, if you match the criteria
based in the Word of God,
00:11:16.60\00:11:19.97
then you are,
00:11:20.01\00:11:21.34
if you don't match
it, then you are not.
00:11:21.38\00:11:23.18
I think it's pretty
simple, isn't it plain?
00:11:23.21\00:11:25.91
We can't just say, Well,
God's listed five things,
00:11:25.95\00:11:28.45
here are three things
here and we get one of those
00:11:28.48\00:11:30.69
or two of those
that's close enough.
00:11:30.72\00:11:32.35
It's not.
00:11:32.39\00:11:33.72
As He gives us Ten Commandments,
00:11:33.76\00:11:35.59
nine won't do, nine and a half
00:11:35.62\00:11:37.79
if there's such a
thing, it won't do.
00:11:37.83\00:11:39.63
It's all 10.
It's all or nothing.
00:11:39.66\00:11:41.76
And that's the game of
life that we're in right now.
00:11:41.80\00:11:44.37
It's all or nothing.
Revelation 12:17, I love it.
00:11:44.40\00:11:47.20
It says here, and
the woman was what...
00:11:47.24\00:11:49.57
Ooh, my.
00:11:49.60\00:11:50.94
What was I on?
00:11:50.97\00:11:52.31
I was in 17, I'm sorry.
00:11:52.34\00:11:53.68
"And the dragon was
wroth with the woman
00:11:53.71\00:11:55.51
and went to make," what?
00:11:55.54\00:11:57.38
"War with a remnant of her seed,
00:11:57.41\00:11:59.88
which keep the
commandments of God
00:11:59.91\00:12:01.55
and have the
testimony of Jesus."
00:12:01.58\00:12:03.18
Now remember,
this is a second part.
00:12:03.22\00:12:04.82
So we went and
covered I think pretty well,
00:12:04.85\00:12:06.89
last time on this message here.
00:12:06.92\00:12:08.96
The dragon we found out
00:12:08.99\00:12:10.33
in Revelation 12 is
the enemy, the devil.
00:12:10.36\00:12:13.33
So the devil then
was angry with the woman
00:12:13.36\00:12:15.60
which is the church
and went to make war
00:12:15.63\00:12:17.97
with the remnant
of her seed, right?
00:12:18.00\00:12:19.40
The last little
part of her seed,
00:12:19.43\00:12:21.77
her children,
notice this, which,
00:12:21.80\00:12:23.37
now notice this, they keep what?
00:12:23.41\00:12:26.21
So this group, if you
don't fit in this group,
00:12:26.24\00:12:30.31
then you're not one of them.
00:12:30.35\00:12:33.45
Well, I want to get heavy duty.
00:12:33.48\00:12:34.82
Somebody said heavy duty,
00:12:34.85\00:12:36.18
so I'm gonna
say, okay, heavy duty.
00:12:36.22\00:12:38.99
This is heavy duty why?
00:12:39.02\00:12:41.06
Because the Bible says it.
00:12:41.09\00:12:42.92
Why aren't we all
getting heavy-duty about it.
00:12:42.96\00:12:46.13
Read this passage of Scripture.
00:12:46.16\00:12:47.50
It says here, the devil is angry
00:12:47.53\00:12:51.30
and he's going to
make war with you.
00:12:51.33\00:12:53.23
That means he's trying,
00:12:53.27\00:12:54.60
in war he's going
to try to kill you.
00:12:54.64\00:12:56.07
He's going to try
to get rid of you.
00:12:56.10\00:12:57.44
He's going to
try to deceive you.
00:12:57.47\00:12:58.81
He's going to try
to get rid of you.
00:12:58.84\00:13:00.68
He doesn't want
you to speak out.
00:13:00.71\00:13:03.35
And so he went to make war,
notice this, with the church.
00:13:03.38\00:13:06.31
There's a church
here the people, right,
00:13:06.35\00:13:08.92
who keep the
commandments of God.
00:13:08.95\00:13:11.09
So if your church teaches
00:13:11.12\00:13:12.62
that the law has been
done away with the 10 command,
00:13:12.65\00:13:14.82
you can't be the remnant church.
00:13:14.86\00:13:16.56
Now, I'm just
gonna put it out there.
00:13:16.59\00:13:18.33
So we don't have no questions
to start, is that truth?
00:13:18.36\00:13:20.46
Can we do that?
00:13:20.50\00:13:22.36
Regardless how many good
people God knows the hearts,
00:13:22.40\00:13:25.67
many people Jesus said,
00:13:25.70\00:13:27.04
"Many people have
I not of this fold."
00:13:27.07\00:13:28.90
Isn't that right?
00:13:28.94\00:13:31.57
But he's doing what?
00:13:31.61\00:13:32.94
He says, "I'm not
going to leave him there.
00:13:32.97\00:13:35.51
I'm calling them out in
the three angels' message
00:13:35.54\00:13:38.28
to hear what's
being taught here."
00:13:38.31\00:13:40.18
So there are two
things you have to keep.
00:13:40.22\00:13:42.72
That means all
ten and the reason
00:13:42.75\00:13:44.85
they can't say that
00:13:44.89\00:13:46.22
is because they
throw the fourth one out,
00:13:46.25\00:13:47.89
which is
remember the Sabbath day
00:13:47.92\00:13:49.39
to keep it holy.
00:13:49.42\00:13:51.59
So that can't be God's
last day remnant church
00:13:51.63\00:13:55.36
must keep the
seventh day Sabbath.
00:13:55.40\00:13:58.63
Did you get it?
00:13:58.67\00:14:00.00
Oh, it sounds like oh,
yeah, here we go again.
00:14:00.04\00:14:01.64
That's right.
00:14:01.67\00:14:03.00
Here we go again
00:14:03.04\00:14:04.37
because that's
what the Bible says.
00:14:04.41\00:14:05.74
The Bible keeps
coming back to that.
00:14:05.77\00:14:07.31
God said I'm
gonna make it so simple
00:14:07.34\00:14:09.04
that even Kenny
can understand it.
00:14:09.08\00:14:11.75
Kenny can
understand there's two points.
00:14:11.78\00:14:14.08
If you just match one of them,
you are not the remnant church.
00:14:14.12\00:14:17.85
You can't be, why?
00:14:17.89\00:14:19.62
Not because we say
but because God says.
00:14:19.65\00:14:22.72
That just makes
sense to me, right?
00:14:22.76\00:14:25.73
And again, if you say, yeah,
00:14:25.76\00:14:27.10
we keep nine of
them you still can't be.
00:14:27.13\00:14:30.13
It has to be all 10 or nothing.
00:14:30.17\00:14:32.10
We'll get that more as we go.
00:14:32.13\00:14:33.64
Because if you offend
in one point, what are you?
00:14:33.67\00:14:35.47
James 2:10-12,
00:14:35.50\00:14:37.17
you're guilty of
them all we know that.
00:14:37.21\00:14:38.97
We'll go again
and again and again,
00:14:39.01\00:14:41.04
if we have to with it,
00:14:41.08\00:14:42.41
because listen,
this is very powerful.
00:14:42.44\00:14:45.01
And notice this and this
group, they claim it that all 10
00:14:45.05\00:14:49.82
which brings back
the first angel's message
00:14:49.85\00:14:52.35
of Revelation 14,
00:14:52.39\00:14:53.76
right, the judgment hour,
00:14:53.79\00:14:55.12
and go back to
the one who did what?
00:14:55.16\00:14:56.66
Created heaven
and earth and the sea
00:14:56.69\00:14:58.36
and all them in the midst.
00:14:58.39\00:14:59.73
You go back to creation,
00:14:59.76\00:15:01.10
we can go back to
the seventh day Sabbath,
00:15:01.13\00:15:02.60
which has been covered
by a multitude of errors.
00:15:02.63\00:15:05.30
And, you know, people
claiming to know what is truth.
00:15:05.33\00:15:08.64
And if they're
not telling the truth,
00:15:08.67\00:15:10.11
they're just taking a shovel
00:15:10.14\00:15:11.47
and throwing stuff on the truth.
00:15:11.51\00:15:12.91
And God said, there'll
be people in the last day,
00:15:12.94\00:15:14.64
I'm going to give a shovel to.
00:15:14.68\00:15:16.75
I'm going to give a shovel
and they're going to get down,
00:15:16.78\00:15:18.45
they're gonna start
taking this junk off
00:15:18.48\00:15:21.08
of what the truth,
00:15:21.12\00:15:22.75
and there's going to be exposed,
00:15:22.78\00:15:24.32
and the world
well might be shocked,
00:15:24.35\00:15:26.49
they might be a
little bit upset,
00:15:26.52\00:15:27.96
they might be mad at you,
00:15:27.99\00:15:29.32
and then they might want
to try to get rid of you.
00:15:29.36\00:15:31.29
They want to close your mouth.
00:15:31.33\00:15:32.89
Man, we see that
happening in the world today,
00:15:32.93\00:15:35.13
right, and
whether it's politics,
00:15:35.16\00:15:37.07
or whether it's religion,
00:15:37.10\00:15:39.07
they want everybody
to be happy and agree,
00:15:39.10\00:15:41.57
but yet they don't
want to touch on doctrines
00:15:41.60\00:15:43.74
and different
things in the Bible
00:15:43.77\00:15:45.24
where they disagree.
00:15:45.27\00:15:46.61
So they just don't talk
about those things anymore.
00:15:46.64\00:15:48.74
We're going to talk about those
00:15:48.78\00:15:50.11
because God says we
need to talk about them.
00:15:50.15\00:15:52.21
And this says, the second one
00:15:52.25\00:15:53.95
is the
testimony of Jesus Christ.
00:15:53.98\00:15:55.98
We read that in Revelation 19:10
00:15:56.02\00:15:57.62
is the Spirit of Prophecy.
00:15:57.65\00:15:59.19
God's last day church
will be guided by a prophet,
00:15:59.22\00:16:03.26
God's Bible comes first.
00:16:03.29\00:16:04.79
And then we have a lesser light
00:16:04.83\00:16:06.16
to lead us always
to the greater light.
00:16:06.19\00:16:08.90
There's nothing wrong with that.
00:16:08.93\00:16:10.27
The Bible said, Ephesians,
we read that last time,
00:16:10.30\00:16:12.43
we spent 15 or 20
minutes on this subject,
00:16:12.47\00:16:15.80
and I just bring it forth
00:16:15.84\00:16:17.17
because we always have
new people who tune in.
00:16:17.21\00:16:19.14
And it's so difficult,
at least for me, in my mind,
00:16:19.17\00:16:21.48
not to go over
some of the same things.
00:16:21.51\00:16:23.65
When you do two parts,
you just can't hardly do it.
00:16:23.68\00:16:25.98
But you know what?
00:16:26.01\00:16:27.35
You could always
send for part number one
00:16:27.38\00:16:28.72
and watch it.
00:16:28.75\00:16:30.09
And then you get
number two, and you watch it,
00:16:30.12\00:16:31.72
and we pray that
it will fit together.
00:16:31.75\00:16:33.59
But remember, the
Spirit of Prophecy,
00:16:33.62\00:16:34.96
God said that gift will be...
00:16:34.99\00:16:36.32
Isn't it interesting?
00:16:36.36\00:16:37.69
We need the gifts of the Spirit,
00:16:37.73\00:16:39.06
do we not in the church?
00:16:39.09\00:16:40.43
Every one of the
gifts of the Spirit there
00:16:40.46\00:16:42.26
in 1 Corinthians 12,
00:16:42.30\00:16:43.63
Ephesians what is it, 3:4,
00:16:43.67\00:16:45.73
it talks about the
gifts that are in the church.
00:16:45.77\00:16:48.00
And almost all churches
say we need those gifts,
00:16:48.04\00:16:52.81
except prophets.
00:16:52.84\00:16:55.24
Why in this world
would they say that?
00:16:55.28\00:16:59.15
Isn't that's something?
00:16:59.18\00:17:00.52
Just like they say we need
to keep all the commandments
00:17:00.55\00:17:03.02
except the fourth one
00:17:03.05\00:17:04.39
which is
remember the Sabbath day,
00:17:04.42\00:17:05.75
because they're not going
to church on the seventh day.
00:17:05.79\00:17:07.92
So therefore they've
got to have some reason
00:17:07.96\00:17:09.66
why they're not.
00:17:09.69\00:17:11.03
I think you
follow what I'm saying?
00:17:11.06\00:17:12.39
Interesting throw that,
00:17:12.43\00:17:13.76
the first, keep
all the commandments,
00:17:13.80\00:17:15.13
they throw it out,
00:17:15.16\00:17:16.50
because they wanna keep
the nine working, right?
00:17:16.53\00:17:18.63
And then the other spirit...
00:17:18.67\00:17:20.00
Oh, let's not
worry about prophecy.
00:17:20.04\00:17:21.37
We need that, we need help
00:17:21.40\00:17:22.74
and we need all
this other stuff here
00:17:22.77\00:17:24.11
and well, we
don't need prophets.
00:17:24.14\00:17:26.01
It will be in operation
until Jesus shall come.
00:17:26.04\00:17:29.74
God will not leave
His last day church
00:17:29.78\00:17:32.38
without a voice.
00:17:32.41\00:17:34.78
He will not do it.
00:17:34.82\00:17:36.15
He loves you too much.
00:17:36.18\00:17:38.02
And these are such
blessings for me over the years
00:17:38.05\00:17:40.16
because my mind's not very good.
00:17:40.19\00:17:41.89
But praise God,
00:17:41.92\00:17:43.26
the Spirit of Prophecy
helped me to understand
00:17:43.29\00:17:45.46
what the Bible has said,
00:17:45.49\00:17:47.96
what the Bible says.
00:17:48.00\00:17:49.80
And if you read all
the Old Testament come up,
00:17:49.83\00:17:52.70
or you read one
prophet after the other,
00:17:52.73\00:17:54.34
one prophet after the other,
00:17:54.37\00:17:55.80
message from God
00:17:55.84\00:17:57.17
in the New
Testament prophet of God, why?
00:17:57.21\00:17:59.57
Why would it be thrown out now
when we need it so desperately?
00:17:59.61\00:18:03.38
When the devil is
going to work harder
00:18:03.41\00:18:04.75
than he ever has before?
00:18:04.78\00:18:06.25
If possible to deceive, right?
00:18:06.28\00:18:08.38
Very elect.
00:18:08.42\00:18:09.82
Satan zeroes
in, I'm telling you.
00:18:09.85\00:18:13.49
How is it or what is it
that Satan plans to zero in on?
00:18:13.52\00:18:19.43
He has something, he
has a specific target
00:18:19.46\00:18:22.13
that he's always zeroing in on
00:18:22.16\00:18:25.83
and he continues to do it
00:18:25.87\00:18:27.57
and I think
that's worth examining
00:18:27.60\00:18:29.44
just a little bit.
00:18:29.47\00:18:30.81
I mean, why and who is
he really fighting, see?
00:18:30.84\00:18:35.04
Remember, he's fighting
a certain group of people.
00:18:35.08\00:18:37.81
If you don't
fit into that group,
00:18:37.85\00:18:39.58
while you may have ups
and downs and blah-blah.
00:18:39.61\00:18:41.65
You know, what's
embarrassing as it might be,
00:18:41.68\00:18:43.95
Satan is not
really worried about you.
00:18:43.99\00:18:46.49
Can I say that?
00:18:46.52\00:18:47.86
No, he's really not
00:18:47.89\00:18:49.22
because God's given
it two identifying marks,
00:18:49.26\00:18:50.86
if you don't have both of those,
00:18:50.89\00:18:52.59
devil's not worried
because he says I...
00:18:52.63\00:18:54.46
Oh, boy.
00:18:54.50\00:18:55.83
Once I get started, I
can't quit, Brother Herb.
00:18:55.86\00:18:58.93
You just got to zero
in on it because, right?
00:18:58.97\00:19:01.84
He's not worried
because he says he's got us.
00:19:01.87\00:19:04.27
According to the Word of God,
00:19:04.31\00:19:05.71
sin is the
transgression of the law.
00:19:05.74\00:19:07.31
The penalty is death.
00:19:07.34\00:19:08.68
So the devil says,
00:19:08.71\00:19:10.05
you don't have
to break them all,
00:19:10.08\00:19:11.41
just one and
that was it, just one.
00:19:11.45\00:19:13.68
And so the world basically
and maybe they don't know it.
00:19:13.72\00:19:16.42
God doesn't hold you accountable
00:19:16.45\00:19:17.79
for what you don't know, right?
00:19:17.82\00:19:19.15
God is merciful. I
thank him for that.
00:19:19.19\00:19:21.26
He's had plenty of
mercy with me and still does.
00:19:21.29\00:19:24.26
But, boy, when we
look at this right here,
00:19:24.29\00:19:25.99
we're saying what
is the Satan's plan?
00:19:26.03\00:19:27.56
He's zeroing in, he's
looking at the bull's eye.
00:19:27.60\00:19:31.80
You know, I used to
shoot a bow and arrow
00:19:31.83\00:19:33.17
every once in a while,
00:19:33.20\00:19:34.54
you know, and
different things there.
00:19:34.57\00:19:35.90
Then I focused in
on the bull's eye.
00:19:35.94\00:19:37.54
I didn't want to
just hit the target.
00:19:37.57\00:19:39.54
I want to knock the eye out.
00:19:39.57\00:19:43.14
I guess I'm the only one.
00:19:43.18\00:19:45.05
Right?
00:19:45.08\00:19:46.41
Well, when you play darts
or you do anything that's got,
00:19:46.45\00:19:48.88
I call it bull's eye.
00:19:48.92\00:19:50.25
What are you aiming for?
00:19:50.29\00:19:51.65
The bull's eye and the
devil is aiming at your eyes.
00:19:51.69\00:19:56.36
Hey, did he not aim
at the eyes of Samson,
00:19:56.39\00:20:01.23
but Samson still is
the last thing work for God
00:20:01.26\00:20:04.50
and did something marvelous,
even blinded, didn't he.
00:20:04.53\00:20:08.30
Who is he furious with
is what we have to come?
00:20:08.34\00:20:11.27
Why is it that every time
00:20:11.31\00:20:13.14
those who match up to
the Spirit of Prophecy
00:20:13.17\00:20:15.98
and the keeping
all the commandments,
00:20:16.01\00:20:17.41
every time you tried
to inch your way forward
00:20:17.45\00:20:20.48
in the fight
that's going on every day
00:20:20.52\00:20:22.42
that the enemy is fighting you?
00:20:22.45\00:20:24.69
He's putting up all kinds
of smoke screens and things
00:20:24.72\00:20:26.86
that you can't seem to
get where you want to go
00:20:26.89\00:20:29.19
because he's fighting you
because he said he's going to.
00:20:29.22\00:20:32.43
He said, "I've
waged war against those
00:20:32.46\00:20:34.10
who keep the
commandments of God."
00:20:34.13\00:20:36.56
Wow.
00:20:36.60\00:20:37.93
Remember the commandments of God
00:20:37.97\00:20:39.30
will prove that
by the grace of God
00:20:39.33\00:20:40.67
if we have time to do it today
00:20:40.70\00:20:42.04
because what we say the
law of God is a transcript.
00:20:42.07\00:20:45.01
The law is the
transcript of God's what?
00:20:45.04\00:20:47.61
Character.
00:20:47.64\00:20:48.98
So God is on trial.
00:20:49.01\00:20:50.91
When I read that,
again studying on it,
00:20:50.95\00:20:53.52
it just almost
moved you to tears
00:20:53.55\00:20:56.35
to takes part of it I read
00:20:56.38\00:20:58.12
and you put part
of the puzzle here
00:20:58.15\00:21:00.46
another part of
the puzzle in front,
00:21:00.49\00:21:02.56
and it basically
comes down to this.
00:21:02.59\00:21:04.39
God needs you.
00:21:04.43\00:21:08.70
I'm getting goosebumps.
00:21:08.73\00:21:10.77
God needs you.
00:21:10.80\00:21:12.47
When I first got
that in my head I thought,
00:21:12.50\00:21:15.30
I need before what?
00:21:15.34\00:21:18.21
What does he
need me and you for?
00:21:18.24\00:21:21.34
When He, right,
He runs the universe?
00:21:21.38\00:21:25.85
He's looking for people
00:21:25.88\00:21:27.35
who will
vindicate His character.
00:21:27.38\00:21:30.32
Why did He make this world?
00:21:30.35\00:21:32.92
Why did He have
the enemy come and say
00:21:32.95\00:21:35.79
you can go to
this right the earth,
00:21:35.82\00:21:37.99
but you can't, you
basically you can't go anyplace.
00:21:38.03\00:21:40.50
I'm going to confine
you to the earth here.
00:21:40.53\00:21:44.37
Remember, there
was a battle royale
00:21:44.40\00:21:46.13
going on and it started what?
00:21:46.17\00:21:47.67
Between God and Lucifer,
00:21:47.70\00:21:49.97
Satan, okay, well,
00:21:50.01\00:21:51.84
that's where it began in heaven.
00:21:51.87\00:21:53.81
And then he was thrown out.
00:21:53.84\00:21:55.18
And God said, "You go down,"
00:21:55.21\00:21:56.54
because the rest of the
angels didn't quite understand.
00:21:56.58\00:21:58.91
I hope we get to
that more as we go along.
00:21:58.95\00:22:01.85
You must, I must now
hear the roar of the dragon.
00:22:01.88\00:22:06.25
The roar of the
dragon is loud right now,
00:22:06.29\00:22:08.42
should be
piercing our ears right now
00:22:08.46\00:22:11.23
because the devil is working.
00:22:11.26\00:22:12.93
I mean, he's loud, he's roaring.
00:22:12.96\00:22:15.93
Sometimes we know
things are good in the world.
00:22:15.96\00:22:18.30
We love it the way it's going.
00:22:18.33\00:22:20.77
He is struggling right now
00:22:20.80\00:22:22.60
to cut off
every earthly support.
00:22:22.64\00:22:26.91
He's trying to
cut off earthly what?
00:22:26.94\00:22:29.61
Support.
00:22:29.64\00:22:30.98
What do you think
he's firing people?
00:22:31.01\00:22:32.35
What do you think
he's getting rid of people?
00:22:32.38\00:22:33.72
Why is he demanding
00:22:33.75\00:22:35.08
as it were I'm seeing
behind the vaccination thing,
00:22:35.12\00:22:36.92
if I can say that.
00:22:36.95\00:22:38.29
Somebody will say,
"No, you can't say it."
00:22:38.32\00:22:39.79
But I said it anyway.
00:22:39.82\00:22:41.16
He's using all kinds
of things to bring about
00:22:41.19\00:22:44.23
where God's people will
not be able to buy or sell.
00:22:44.26\00:22:47.23
He's going to try to put
God's people out of business.
00:22:47.26\00:22:50.37
This is a time you
need to go in business.
00:22:50.40\00:22:53.07
This is a time you
need to start God's business
00:22:53.10\00:22:55.50
and rather than
your own business.
00:22:55.54\00:22:56.87
Are you with me?
00:22:56.91\00:22:58.37
This is the time
right now. This is it.
00:22:58.41\00:23:01.04
You may never have
another opportunity.
00:23:01.08\00:23:03.75
I may never.
00:23:03.78\00:23:05.11
The enemy has us in his sight.
00:23:05.15\00:23:09.15
And he's waiting to say okay,
now their mind because what?
00:23:09.18\00:23:12.65
Because they're breaking
the commandments of God,
00:23:12.69\00:23:14.26
they're mine.
00:23:14.29\00:23:15.62
I can shoot them now as it were.
00:23:15.66\00:23:16.99
I can get rid of them.
00:23:17.03\00:23:20.60
Now, possibly
while we are living,
00:23:20.63\00:23:23.43
and I throw this out
and just think about it.
00:23:23.47\00:23:26.87
Possibly we are living in
the world's last generation.
00:23:26.90\00:23:31.77
Is that true?
00:23:31.81\00:23:33.14
We could be living
in the last generation.
00:23:35.84\00:23:38.11
This is the last
moments of earth's history.
00:23:38.15\00:23:41.92
We find the same
issue is still going on,
00:23:41.95\00:23:45.72
still exists from
the very beginning.
00:23:45.75\00:23:49.49
So from the very beginning
and then now to the end,
00:23:49.52\00:23:51.99
we still have the same what?
00:23:52.03\00:23:53.50
The same issue that's going on,
00:23:53.53\00:23:55.66
which should
help you to understand
00:23:55.70\00:23:57.13
you are in the right
place at the right time.
00:23:57.17\00:24:00.17
You need not be
looking for another church,
00:24:00.20\00:24:02.37
you need not be
looking for well,
00:24:02.40\00:24:04.01
I know, blah-blah, something
that fits my lifestyle.
00:24:04.04\00:24:06.44
How about
fitting God's lifestyle?
00:24:06.47\00:24:09.04
You see what I mean?
00:24:09.08\00:24:10.41
How about, you
know, and people have,
00:24:10.45\00:24:12.45
we to talk to them.
00:24:12.48\00:24:13.82
They come here
and they shop around,
00:24:13.85\00:24:15.25
they shop around,
00:24:15.28\00:24:17.02
they go looking
and they say well,
00:24:17.05\00:24:18.39
this church down
here just few miles away
00:24:18.42\00:24:20.29
and they do this
and their lacks on this
00:24:20.32\00:24:22.29
and they don't talk about this.
00:24:22.32\00:24:23.66
We'll just go there.
00:24:23.69\00:24:25.09
We'll just check it out.
00:24:25.13\00:24:26.46
How about going to
where God will approve of
00:24:26.49\00:24:28.63
and then every area here
00:24:28.66\00:24:30.43
as we're learning
together by God's grace
00:24:30.47\00:24:33.23
we want to keep
and to do those things
00:24:33.27\00:24:35.24
that He has said in His Word.
00:24:35.27\00:24:38.14
I want you to please be careful.
00:24:38.17\00:24:39.81
The great issue
here in these last days,
00:24:39.84\00:24:43.04
remember is from the
very beginning of time,
00:24:43.08\00:24:45.95
the last great
battle will focus on it.
00:24:45.98\00:24:49.25
The last great
deception will focus on it,
00:24:49.28\00:24:52.15
the deciding question for
the world and the universe
00:24:52.19\00:24:55.26
and individually the great test.
00:24:55.29\00:24:58.83
The final test is going to come,
00:24:58.86\00:25:01.63
Satan zeroes in
on the law of God.
00:25:01.66\00:25:05.13
Somebody stay with me.
00:25:05.17\00:25:06.50
He zeroes in on what?
00:25:06.53\00:25:07.97
The law of God.
00:25:08.00\00:25:09.34
And notice the
question will be this,
00:25:09.37\00:25:10.87
whether or not
God's law is eternal,
00:25:10.91\00:25:15.68
unchangeable,
00:25:15.71\00:25:17.91
binding upon the
Christian who are under grace,
00:25:17.95\00:25:22.52
praise God,
00:25:22.55\00:25:23.89
whether or not it
can be perfectly obeyed.
00:25:23.92\00:25:27.19
That was the big deal
in heaven, was it not?
00:25:27.22\00:25:30.69
And interesting, it's
a big deal right here,
00:25:30.73\00:25:33.36
right now, just
before Jesus comes,
00:25:33.40\00:25:35.83
it has not changed.
00:25:35.86\00:25:38.40
Remember, the devil's what?
00:25:38.43\00:25:39.77
He zeroed in on
this because he said,
00:25:39.80\00:25:41.47
I can destroy God's character
00:25:41.50\00:25:43.67
if I can get people
that will go against it,
00:25:43.71\00:25:46.11
I can destroy God's character.
00:25:46.14\00:25:48.78
And certainly, the
people will be lost.
00:25:48.81\00:25:51.01
And I still have a chance
he thinks to rule this world.
00:25:51.05\00:25:55.32
He says you
can't perfectly obey.
00:25:55.35\00:25:58.09
Let me make a statement.
00:25:58.12\00:25:59.45
I always say, I
like to make a statement.
00:25:59.49\00:26:00.82
And it's always good.
00:26:00.86\00:26:02.19
If you don't
like it, throw it out.
00:26:02.22\00:26:04.36
I always like to be challenged.
00:26:04.39\00:26:05.73
Somebody in pulpits
or anybody can challenge
00:26:05.76\00:26:07.33
with anything like
it makes you think.
00:26:07.36\00:26:09.60
Somebody said, I
got something heavy,
00:26:09.63\00:26:10.97
I said put it on.
00:26:11.00\00:26:12.33
I may not be able
to answer a thing,
00:26:12.37\00:26:13.70
but just put it on.
00:26:13.74\00:26:15.07
Let's hear it.
00:26:15.10\00:26:16.77
God's people
cannot be delivered.
00:26:16.81\00:26:20.08
Now, I'm not
going to stop there.
00:26:20.11\00:26:22.51
Stay with me as we move on.
00:26:22.54\00:26:23.88
God's people cannot be delivered
00:26:23.91\00:26:27.52
from this old world of sin.
00:26:27.55\00:26:29.85
I'm not going to leave it there.
00:26:29.88\00:26:32.12
Christ cannot come
00:26:32.15\00:26:36.36
until God's law is vindicated.
00:26:36.39\00:26:40.26
Did you get it?
00:26:40.30\00:26:41.63
Christ can't come
until His law is vindicated,
00:26:41.66\00:26:44.67
because that's been the issue
00:26:44.70\00:26:47.30
from the beginning of
time that caused this war,
00:26:47.34\00:26:49.44
caused this separation,
00:26:49.47\00:26:50.81
it caused sin in this world.
00:26:50.84\00:26:53.04
Because God said what?
00:26:53.07\00:26:54.64
There will be a people.
00:26:54.68\00:26:57.55
Again, that's why He created.
00:26:57.58\00:26:59.45
You know what's that?
That's why He created us.
00:26:59.48\00:27:01.28
Remember, He created the world,
00:27:01.32\00:27:03.15
and He created man
to put in the world
00:27:03.18\00:27:05.25
because there was going
to be the great controversy.
00:27:05.29\00:27:07.29
Isn't that right?
00:27:07.32\00:27:08.66
The Great War was going
to be played out right here.
00:27:08.69\00:27:11.33
And that's why
God says, I need you.
00:27:11.36\00:27:14.00
Wow!
00:27:14.03\00:27:15.43
I need you.
00:27:15.46\00:27:16.80
And His law cannot be vindicated
00:27:16.83\00:27:19.83
until He has a
people all over the world
00:27:19.87\00:27:23.97
who honor and keep it.
00:27:24.01\00:27:26.14
Did you get it? Three
Angels' message, right?
00:27:26.17\00:27:28.78
Message goes into all the world.
00:27:28.81\00:27:30.81
So one hinges upon the other.
00:27:30.85\00:27:33.45
I want Jesus to come,
you want Jesus to come.
00:27:33.48\00:27:36.12
Want Him to deal.
00:27:36.15\00:27:37.49
He's dealing with sin,
we want to get rid of sin.
00:27:37.52\00:27:38.85
Isn't that right?
00:27:38.89\00:27:40.22
We want Christ to come
00:27:40.26\00:27:41.59
and a new world to
live in, praise God.
00:27:41.62\00:27:45.16
But God's character
has to be vindicated.
00:27:45.19\00:27:48.86
Now you think
Satan knows this or not?
00:27:48.90\00:27:51.27
Absolutely. He knows it, good.
00:27:51.30\00:27:53.20
So he's constantly at work.
00:27:53.23\00:27:55.47
He's constantly
sowing seeds of doubt,
00:27:55.50\00:27:58.94
and sowing seeds of
rebellion, troubling the church.
00:27:58.97\00:28:03.68
We can't get along
in the church, you see.
00:28:03.71\00:28:07.42
We're having
disagreements and blah-blah.
00:28:07.45\00:28:11.55
If there ever was a time,
00:28:11.59\00:28:12.92
we don't need
that kind of stuff,
00:28:12.95\00:28:15.12
it's right now.
00:28:15.16\00:28:16.59
We need to stand
shoulder to shoulder to realize
00:28:16.62\00:28:19.06
that most of the
stuff we say here,
00:28:19.09\00:28:20.60
the Bible says, you say,
00:28:20.63\00:28:21.96
"Well, why do you
folk study the Bible?
00:28:22.00\00:28:23.33
Or you maybe come and
join the church?" Why?
00:28:23.37\00:28:24.87
Because unless two agree,
how can they walk together?
00:28:24.90\00:28:29.00
Or later on six months
down the road, they'll say,
00:28:29.04\00:28:31.11
"Why didn't you tell you
believe this way before we came
00:28:31.14\00:28:33.61
and became a
part of your church."
00:28:33.64\00:28:35.11
You study for.
00:28:35.14\00:28:36.48
That's what the Bible says,
00:28:36.51\00:28:37.85
study to show
yourself approved unto God,
00:28:37.88\00:28:39.41
study and then baptized.
00:28:39.45\00:28:41.68
Are you still there?
Come on, let's think.
00:28:41.72\00:28:43.69
It's so important
00:28:43.72\00:28:45.05
that we stand
shoulder to shoulder.
00:28:45.09\00:28:46.59
Who else do you
have in the whole world
00:28:46.62\00:28:48.42
that you can stand
shoulder to shoulder with,
00:28:48.46\00:28:50.33
except someone who believes
00:28:50.36\00:28:51.69
in the seventh day Sabbath?
00:28:51.73\00:28:53.06
Someone who believes
in the Spirit of Prophecy?
00:28:53.09\00:28:55.36
You can't stand
shoulder to shoulder
00:28:55.40\00:28:56.83
with anybody else who
doesn't believe in it.
00:28:56.87\00:28:58.43
They're going to laugh you
out of town, they'll try to.
00:28:58.47\00:29:01.20
But you know what?
00:29:01.24\00:29:02.57
I'm gonna laugh
right back and say,
00:29:02.60\00:29:03.94
"Praise God, look
what He's given to us."
00:29:03.97\00:29:06.78
He's given all this information.
00:29:06.81\00:29:09.34
So that will help us to find Him
00:29:09.38\00:29:11.95
and how much He loves us.
00:29:11.98\00:29:14.08
We know it doesn't mean, we
shouldn't have to repeat it.
00:29:14.12\00:29:18.55
But there's
always those who tuned in
00:29:18.59\00:29:20.26
who they never went
to church in their life.
00:29:20.29\00:29:24.26
They don't know.
00:29:24.29\00:29:25.63
Some of the people say
00:29:25.66\00:29:27.00
I've never really
heard about Jesus too much,
00:29:27.03\00:29:29.00
except people
using foul language,
00:29:29.03\00:29:30.37
you know, I just...
00:29:30.40\00:29:32.27
So we have to keep that in
mind as we go, as we study,
00:29:32.30\00:29:35.90
but there's only
two classes of people
00:29:35.94\00:29:38.17
that will be
recognized in the judgment,
00:29:38.21\00:29:40.18
Brother Terry, only two
in the judgment only two,
00:29:40.21\00:29:44.91
those who obey His commandments,
00:29:44.95\00:29:46.72
and those what?
00:29:46.75\00:29:48.48
Yeah, those who are disobedient,
00:29:48.52\00:29:50.95
they don't want to obey.
00:29:50.99\00:29:52.32
That's just two classes.
00:29:52.35\00:29:53.69
So you can be in the obedient
00:29:53.72\00:29:55.06
or you can be in the disobedient
00:29:55.09\00:29:56.59
and you know what happens
to disobedient, don't you?
00:29:56.62\00:29:59.56
I think about one
side God calls you
00:29:59.59\00:30:01.50
as the creator to come over
00:30:01.53\00:30:03.80
and stand underneath His banner.
00:30:03.83\00:30:06.17
Wow, how
awesome that is to stand
00:30:06.20\00:30:08.00
under the banner of the
Creator of heaven and earth.
00:30:08.04\00:30:12.71
And everybody on this side over
here has this signet on them,
00:30:12.74\00:30:16.01
or they have the seal of God.
00:30:16.04\00:30:18.71
Man, we need to have the
seal of God if we ever did.
00:30:18.75\00:30:21.58
It's like the angel, you know,
the blood over the doorposts.
00:30:21.62\00:30:24.32
Man, we need that
blood over the doorpost.
00:30:24.35\00:30:26.35
So that destroying
angel will pass by.
00:30:26.39\00:30:29.49
But how many of us are
really putting that blood
00:30:29.52\00:30:31.29
as it were over the doorpost?
00:30:31.33\00:30:32.93
How many of us
really making it known
00:30:32.96\00:30:34.33
to the universe or to the enemy,
00:30:34.36\00:30:36.10
that I love Jesus,
my home loves Jesus,
00:30:36.13\00:30:38.90
my family loves
Jesus, Jesus lives here,
00:30:38.93\00:30:41.74
the spirit of living
God lives here, you see?
00:30:41.77\00:30:44.64
How many of us are
really willing to do that
00:30:44.67\00:30:46.24
and step out, rather
than just talk about it
00:30:46.27\00:30:48.54
or make a profession.
00:30:48.58\00:30:50.98
We're living it out in
our lives like we should be.
00:30:51.01\00:30:53.55
The seal of living God,
00:30:53.58\00:30:54.92
that means they are obedient
to the commandments of God.
00:30:54.95\00:30:57.79
You can't do it on your own.
00:30:57.82\00:30:59.15
I can't do it on my own
00:30:59.19\00:31:00.52
but by the grace of
God, it can take place.
00:31:00.56\00:31:02.92
This is part of our message
that God wants us to come up.
00:31:02.96\00:31:06.83
I think Martin
Luther different one,
00:31:06.86\00:31:08.20
remember the righteous,
00:31:08.23\00:31:09.86
you know, live by
faith, isn't that right?
00:31:09.90\00:31:12.30
The righteous.
00:31:12.33\00:31:14.40
It's not about works,
00:31:14.44\00:31:15.77
even though he's the
one to blame you about that.
00:31:15.80\00:31:18.41
They gonna say, you're talking
about works, works, works.
00:31:18.44\00:31:20.38
I'm not talking
about works at all.
00:31:20.41\00:31:22.08
I'm talking
about the power of God,
00:31:22.11\00:31:23.65
the Holy Spirit in the life
00:31:23.68\00:31:25.31
brings conviction
and gives you power
00:31:25.35\00:31:27.02
to gain victory
over sin in your life.
00:31:27.05\00:31:30.82
Remember, Adam and Eve,
they went wrong in one area,
00:31:30.85\00:31:33.86
and what happened?
00:31:33.89\00:31:35.22
They were cast out.
00:31:35.26\00:31:37.23
Think about in your life
00:31:37.26\00:31:38.59
and think about
in my life today,
00:31:38.63\00:31:39.96
might there be one thing
00:31:40.00\00:31:41.33
that needs a
little bit of tweaking?
00:31:41.36\00:31:44.47
Maybe several things that
need to be tweaked a little bit.
00:31:44.50\00:31:47.70
Remember, if they
do, I'm just gonna say
00:31:47.74\00:31:51.11
heavens not
going to be our home?
00:31:51.14\00:31:52.94
Why would God judge differently
00:31:52.97\00:31:54.51
and deal
differently with people?
00:31:54.54\00:31:57.71
Look, Moses put up
with I don't know how,
00:31:57.75\00:32:00.48
only by the grace of God, right?
00:32:00.52\00:32:02.25
He's a meek man
but how he had to deal
00:32:02.28\00:32:04.09
with those
millions of a disobedient,
00:32:04.12\00:32:06.12
ornery characters.
00:32:06.15\00:32:08.26
Right?
00:32:08.29\00:32:09.62
Every time God
would show him something,
00:32:09.66\00:32:10.99
they'd last a day or two,
00:32:11.03\00:32:12.36
and then they'd go
back to their old ways.
00:32:12.39\00:32:14.93
God said, "Speak to
the rock and tell him."
00:32:14.96\00:32:16.97
and he struck it with it.
00:32:17.00\00:32:18.33
He said, "You can't
go in the Promised Land."
00:32:18.37\00:32:20.87
You think God doesn't care about
00:32:20.90\00:32:22.27
obedience and disobedience?
00:32:22.30\00:32:23.94
Yes, He does.
00:32:23.97\00:32:25.67
Every word that proceeds
out of the mouth of God,
00:32:25.71\00:32:28.14
we need to get with the program.
00:32:28.18\00:32:29.61
We think about it.
00:32:29.64\00:32:31.55
I hear people talk about
the judgment of the living.
00:32:31.58\00:32:34.52
You ever heard
people talk about it.
00:32:34.55\00:32:35.88
I wonder when we're
going to enter that time
00:32:35.92\00:32:37.45
of the judgment of the living.
00:32:37.49\00:32:39.12
Interesting thought, isn't it?
00:32:39.15\00:32:40.82
I mean, you can
go deep with that,
00:32:40.86\00:32:42.22
but Six Testimonies
130 brings this out.
00:32:42.26\00:32:45.36
It says, "Now, when
the great work of judging
00:32:45.39\00:32:49.06
the living is about to begin."
00:32:49.10\00:32:53.03
I could just
leave it there, mark it,
00:32:53.07\00:32:56.14
because people read it
00:32:56.17\00:32:57.51
and then they
just leave it alone.
00:32:57.54\00:32:58.87
Did you get it?
00:32:58.91\00:33:00.24
You know why people don't get it
00:33:00.28\00:33:01.61
is because they don't
realize about the judgment hour.
00:33:01.64\00:33:04.18
They don't understand
about the three angels' message
00:33:04.21\00:33:06.82
that we've been
in the judgment hour
00:33:06.85\00:33:08.42
since 1844.
00:33:08.45\00:33:09.92
They don't believe it, right?
00:33:09.95\00:33:11.29
When they look
at, in the Word of God
00:33:11.32\00:33:12.92
and says I begin what?
00:33:12.95\00:33:14.29
Judgment in my house,
He begins with His people.
00:33:14.32\00:33:16.86
He begins with those
00:33:16.89\00:33:18.23
who have
professed of a Christian,
00:33:18.26\00:33:21.06
and he goes through that.
00:33:21.10\00:33:22.43
The other people who are
not professing Christian,
00:33:22.46\00:33:23.80
they're not even
in this part of it.
00:33:23.83\00:33:26.60
Can we, when we talk?
00:33:26.63\00:33:28.30
1 Peter 4:17, the
word of God is clear.
00:33:28.34\00:33:31.41
It says, "Judgment
begins in the, come on,
00:33:31.44\00:33:34.01
the house of God."
00:33:34.04\00:33:36.31
Oh, wow, the house of God.
00:33:36.34\00:33:38.81
And that means it
begins back with Adam and Eve
00:33:38.85\00:33:44.05
and then goes on.
00:33:44.09\00:33:45.99
I think it's Ezekiel 9.
00:33:46.02\00:33:47.62
Boy, there's a lot of
prophecy in that and heavy-duty.
00:33:47.66\00:33:50.39
It says that the judgment
of God begins in the sanctuary,
00:33:50.43\00:33:55.16
it begins with
His people, His church
00:33:55.20\00:33:58.40
because they are
supposed to know.
00:33:58.43\00:34:00.30
This church should know
what they need to be to doing.
00:34:00.34\00:34:03.51
This church
should know the message
00:34:03.54\00:34:05.61
and but most of us don't know it
00:34:05.64\00:34:08.04
because we won't get
around it long enough to study,
00:34:08.08\00:34:11.15
to find out what our message
00:34:11.18\00:34:12.51
is to give to the world.
00:34:12.55\00:34:14.22
You think we will not
be accountable to God?
00:34:14.25\00:34:16.25
You better believe we will.
00:34:16.28\00:34:18.65
He said, "I gave it to you,
00:34:18.69\00:34:20.02
I put it to you to
say on a silver platter.
00:34:20.06\00:34:21.92
I couldn't do any more
than I've done to give it to you
00:34:21.96\00:34:23.79
without making you do it.
00:34:23.83\00:34:25.16
I won't do that."
00:34:25.19\00:34:27.46
We need to know this message.
00:34:27.50\00:34:31.17
As we say they know
the back of your hand.
00:34:31.20\00:34:34.07
The execution of the judgment
00:34:34.10\00:34:36.14
begins in the
house of God first.
00:34:36.17\00:34:39.34
Ezekiel 9 as you read that, wow.
00:34:39.37\00:34:42.58
And it begins with
those who have made, listen,
00:34:42.61\00:34:44.58
the highest profession.
00:34:44.61\00:34:46.51
That means some of our leaders,
that mean some of our pastors
00:34:46.55\00:34:49.05
and our teachers
and our high ups.
00:34:49.08\00:34:51.72
Oh, they're so holy,
they're so righteous.
00:34:51.75\00:34:53.79
Bible said there's
none good, no not one.
00:34:53.82\00:34:55.66
Get off of that part, you know?
00:34:55.69\00:34:57.43
We're all in need of a Savior.
00:34:57.46\00:34:59.09
Nice to have those positions.
00:34:59.13\00:35:00.46
Nice to have you
know the love of God,
00:35:00.50\00:35:02.80
but we need help.
00:35:02.83\00:35:05.10
We need help.
00:35:05.13\00:35:06.47
And God said I'm
going to help you.
00:35:06.50\00:35:09.80
Because the time
that we're living
00:35:09.84\00:35:11.17
in of the
judgment is a time, listen,
00:35:11.21\00:35:13.68
that God expects much
00:35:13.71\00:35:17.21
from His people.
00:35:17.25\00:35:19.88
He expects what?
00:35:19.91\00:35:21.65
Not little.
00:35:21.68\00:35:23.02
He expects much.
00:35:23.05\00:35:24.39
And so we can't have time out
00:35:24.42\00:35:25.75
fooling around
with a bunch of stuff.
00:35:25.79\00:35:27.69
My Dad always said,
didn't mount to hill of beans.
00:35:27.72\00:35:31.23
Did we get that?
00:35:31.26\00:35:32.79
Yeah.
00:35:32.83\00:35:37.27
I find some time
that some of the holdup
00:35:37.30\00:35:40.54
to getting our job
done is for the devil
00:35:40.57\00:35:42.74
to put you in
contact with somebody
00:35:42.77\00:35:44.64
that takes 10 words to say
00:35:44.67\00:35:46.11
something they
could have said in two.
00:35:46.14\00:35:49.18
Talk about
Jeremiah, different ones,
00:35:49.21\00:35:50.55
you know, come
down from the wall
00:35:50.58\00:35:52.65
and let's talk about it.
00:35:52.68\00:35:54.85
Let's have another meeting.
00:35:54.88\00:35:56.92
The last thing we might
need is another meeting,
00:35:56.95\00:35:58.82
we need to meet and
that meeting in the air
00:35:58.85\00:36:00.86
when Jesus comes
00:36:00.89\00:36:02.22
but before then we
need to go to the highways
00:36:02.26\00:36:03.76
and byways and
compel them to come in.
00:36:03.79\00:36:06.36
We have Bible study,
00:36:06.39\00:36:07.73
you know, the Bible
study here on Wednesday.
00:36:07.76\00:36:09.10
Praise God for that.
00:36:09.13\00:36:10.47
We don't have a
Wednesday night prayer meeting.
00:36:10.50\00:36:11.83
I encourage
people to take that time
00:36:11.87\00:36:13.20
and go out to the
highways and byways,
00:36:13.23\00:36:15.20
get some Bible studies going
00:36:15.24\00:36:16.60
and bring them in
before it's too late.
00:36:16.64\00:36:18.64
If that's all the
time that you have,
00:36:18.67\00:36:20.14
people are gonna
do different things
00:36:20.18\00:36:21.98
but mine is evangelism,
go out and do something.
00:36:22.01\00:36:24.91
We're in the hour
of God's judgment.
00:36:24.95\00:36:26.88
It's time for us to work.
00:36:26.92\00:36:29.88
Little book
Evangelism, page 226 says this.
00:36:29.92\00:36:34.02
Now you say, "Well,
why are we talking about
00:36:34.06\00:36:35.46
this stuff again?
00:36:35.49\00:36:36.83
We know that." Really?
00:36:36.86\00:36:38.19
If you know, you're gonna
be doing something about it.
00:36:38.23\00:36:40.16
"The light
concerning the binding claims
00:36:40.20\00:36:42.43
of the law of God is to
be presented everywhere."
00:36:42.46\00:36:46.53
What's our part of our job?
00:36:46.57\00:36:48.30
The light from what
about the law of God
00:36:48.34\00:36:50.94
once we
understand that it's binding,
00:36:50.97\00:36:52.61
claims all 10,
00:36:52.64\00:36:53.98
including the seventh
day Sabbath, including...
00:36:54.01\00:36:56.31
Who in the world has
the audacity to think
00:36:56.34\00:36:58.08
they're going
to change something
00:36:58.11\00:36:59.45
that God wrote
with his own finger
00:36:59.48\00:37:00.82
and just say, I'm gonna
take this fourth one out?
00:37:00.85\00:37:03.59
And we just
diddle around with like,
00:37:03.62\00:37:05.09
Oh, well, you know, but...
00:37:05.12\00:37:06.45
No! That's...
00:37:06.49\00:37:08.22
That person, that
thing that whatever does that
00:37:08.26\00:37:10.76
must think
they're bigger than God.
00:37:10.79\00:37:13.29
Is that right?
00:37:13.33\00:37:14.66
And those who follow after that,
00:37:14.70\00:37:16.10
was following after
that power and not God.
00:37:16.13\00:37:19.27
Then that's heavy-duty.
00:37:19.30\00:37:20.90
God's side or the enemy's
side, the enemy's doing this,
00:37:20.94\00:37:23.57
we know.
00:37:23.61\00:37:25.27
It's going to test the world.
00:37:25.31\00:37:28.98
The little book
I read, I like it,
00:37:29.01\00:37:30.45
it's Call in High Places.
00:37:30.48\00:37:31.81
Some of you know that
book and many of you will not.
00:37:31.85\00:37:34.12
Page 34 for says this.
00:37:34.15\00:37:35.75
It says, "We are
rapidly approaching
00:37:35.78\00:37:38.72
the end of this
world's history."
00:37:38.75\00:37:40.76
Anybody believe that?
00:37:40.79\00:37:42.92
Remember you're going to hear
00:37:42.96\00:37:45.19
from this pulpit
on and on and on.
00:37:45.23\00:37:46.73
So if you're tired of
it, now, bless your heart.
00:37:46.76\00:37:49.83
You've got to hear it again.
00:37:49.86\00:37:51.20
We are rapidly
00:37:51.23\00:37:53.54
coming to an end of
this world's history.
00:37:53.57\00:37:56.30
Listen,
obedience to the law of God
00:37:56.34\00:37:59.67
is the great issue.
00:37:59.71\00:38:01.58
Obedience to what?
00:38:01.61\00:38:03.91
Because Satan is
zeroing in on the law of God.
00:38:03.95\00:38:06.75
If we could just see it
00:38:09.82\00:38:11.45
and believe it
by the grace of God
00:38:11.49\00:38:13.29
what the Word says,
00:38:13.32\00:38:15.62
and many open the
Scriptures and said,
00:38:15.66\00:38:17.09
"This is what the Bible says."
00:38:17.13\00:38:19.09
But people don't
want to hear sometimes
00:38:19.13\00:38:20.56
what the Bible has to say.
00:38:20.60\00:38:22.70
They don't care
about the last great issue.
00:38:22.73\00:38:25.63
And maybe we should
care a little more about it.
00:38:25.67\00:38:28.24
Bible says 1 John 2:3-4,
these are familiar passages,
00:38:28.27\00:38:32.81
and they should be.
00:38:32.84\00:38:34.31
It says, "And
hereby we do know," what?
00:38:34.34\00:38:37.55
We know.
00:38:37.58\00:38:38.91
Hereby we know,
notice this, we know this.
00:38:38.95\00:38:43.08
That we know Him.
00:38:43.12\00:38:45.62
"We know this,
that if we know Him,
00:38:45.65\00:38:49.06
if we keep the commandments."
00:38:49.09\00:38:51.83
Oh, my! Did you get it?
00:38:51.86\00:38:54.33
If somebody says I know Him.
00:38:54.36\00:38:56.43
Now they may be ignorant to it,
00:38:56.46\00:38:58.30
that I'm saying in the nice way,
00:38:58.33\00:39:00.00
they may not understand it.
00:39:00.04\00:39:01.37
Once you understand the claim
of what God is saying here.
00:39:01.40\00:39:04.81
This is proof that you know Him.
00:39:04.84\00:39:07.74
The proof is if you know Him,
00:39:07.78\00:39:09.51
you will keep the
commandments of God,
00:39:09.54\00:39:11.58
which is saying if you
don't, then you don't know him,
00:39:11.61\00:39:14.45
profess all you want.
00:39:14.48\00:39:17.05
It's time to look
at it reality here.
00:39:17.09\00:39:21.52
If you don't,
you don't know Him.
00:39:21.56\00:39:24.16
Verse 4, that's
because is very familiar.
00:39:24.19\00:39:26.46
He that saith I know him
00:39:26.49\00:39:28.70
and keepeth not his
commandments is a liar,
00:39:28.73\00:39:31.50
and the truth is not in him.
00:39:31.53\00:39:34.20
And somebody had the
audacity as a Christian,
00:39:34.24\00:39:36.24
you wanna say,
well, we don't believe
00:39:36.27\00:39:37.64
we have to keep the law of God.
00:39:37.67\00:39:40.21
The Bible says you are a liar
and the truth is not in you.
00:39:40.24\00:39:43.38
Now again, you may not
understand all but does what,
00:39:43.41\00:39:45.58
that's what the
word said or is it not?
00:39:45.61\00:39:47.45
Or should I just
sit down and be quiet?
00:39:47.48\00:39:50.99
I mean, you know what
I'm talking about here
00:39:51.02\00:39:52.35
is we don't
attack that we read these
00:39:52.39\00:39:54.12
and we just leave them.
00:39:54.16\00:39:55.49
The Bible says this.
00:39:55.52\00:39:56.86
I'm just reading
what the Bible says.
00:39:56.89\00:39:59.19
He that saith,
you say I know Him.
00:39:59.23\00:40:04.77
But if you don't
keep His commandments,
00:40:04.80\00:40:07.10
it said you are a liar,
00:40:07.14\00:40:09.34
and the truth is not in him.
00:40:09.37\00:40:12.61
Whether he knows or not,
00:40:12.64\00:40:13.98
God knows the
heart and everything,
00:40:14.01\00:40:15.51
let God deal with the issue.
00:40:15.54\00:40:17.28
But this is the thing
00:40:17.31\00:40:18.65
that he's
talking about to profess.
00:40:18.68\00:40:20.02
We know God, we're Christian,
00:40:20.05\00:40:21.38
and we've been 50
years in the church,
00:40:21.42\00:40:22.82
and we know all this
and we know all of that.
00:40:22.85\00:40:24.82
We don't keep the
commandments of God,
00:40:24.85\00:40:26.19
we're a liar, and
the truth is not in us.
00:40:26.22\00:40:28.06
The devil loves that stuff.
00:40:28.09\00:40:30.36
He loves you say,
I've been here a long time,
00:40:30.39\00:40:31.99
or I've done this, blah-blah.
00:40:32.03\00:40:33.86
The Bible's clear.
00:40:33.90\00:40:36.33
Just, maybe just add a
quick thought here as we go.
00:40:36.36\00:40:40.20
I believe that
God has chosen mankind
00:40:40.24\00:40:44.64
from eternity to be holy.
00:40:44.67\00:40:48.81
Come on church.
00:40:48.84\00:40:50.18
I believe that God
has chosen men to be holy.
00:40:50.21\00:40:52.75
The Bible is so clear in
the passage after passage,
00:40:52.78\00:40:57.19
but we need a blueprint.
00:40:57.22\00:40:58.82
We can't get rid
of the blueprint.
00:40:58.85\00:41:01.82
We've got to have a blueprint.
00:41:01.86\00:41:04.56
Years ago, we build
a house for somebody
00:41:04.59\00:41:06.29
that gave us a blueprint
00:41:06.33\00:41:08.13
and they expected us
to follow that blueprint.
00:41:08.16\00:41:10.97
I can tell you if you
got just a little iota off
00:41:11.00\00:41:13.34
of that blueprint, they knew it.
00:41:13.37\00:41:14.70
Why?
00:41:14.74\00:41:16.07
Because they
studied the blueprint.
00:41:16.10\00:41:17.61
Well, weren't they
supposed to be like?
00:41:17.64\00:41:20.41
Why did you do it like that?
00:41:20.44\00:41:21.78
This says
that's the Word of God.
00:41:21.81\00:41:24.51
We have a right to come back
and say this is what it says,
00:41:24.55\00:41:26.55
I know you're thinking this way.
00:41:26.58\00:41:27.92
But this is what it says.
00:41:27.95\00:41:29.58
I mean, read Romans 3:24-28.
00:41:29.62\00:41:32.82
It makes it so clear,
this is the will of God,
00:41:32.85\00:41:36.79
even your sanctification.
00:41:36.83\00:41:39.76
The will of God is what?
00:41:39.79\00:41:41.13
Sanctification or
preparation for heaven.
00:41:41.16\00:41:43.97
Preparation for
heaven being holy.
00:41:44.00\00:41:47.70
My, how's that really possible?
00:41:47.74\00:41:51.24
Because I can say this
based upon the Word of God,
00:41:51.27\00:41:54.38
God's law tolerates no sin.
00:41:54.41\00:41:59.05
Hello now.
00:41:59.08\00:42:00.42
God's law tolerate,
and listen, some of that,
00:42:00.45\00:42:03.75
almost said weaklings,
00:42:03.79\00:42:05.12
some of the spiritual
weaklings in the church,
00:42:05.15\00:42:08.19
as always saying, well,
we're gonna do the best we can.
00:42:08.22\00:42:10.43
And when God comes,
00:42:10.46\00:42:11.79
He's going to
make up the difference.
00:42:11.83\00:42:13.16
No, He won't.
00:42:13.19\00:42:14.53
Remember in every
stage that we are in,
00:42:14.56\00:42:16.36
that can be perfect.
00:42:16.40\00:42:17.90
First, the blade, then the
ear, and then the full corn.
00:42:17.93\00:42:23.10
Where's perfection at?
00:42:23.14\00:42:24.54
Perfection is as soon as
that little blade comes up,
00:42:24.57\00:42:27.04
that's the
function of the blade.
00:42:27.08\00:42:28.78
The blade is
perfect in that stage.
00:42:28.81\00:42:30.91
It's not complete
yet, but in that stage,
00:42:30.95\00:42:33.15
we're still working
like with sanctification.
00:42:33.18\00:42:35.62
Then the ear still not,
but perfect in that stage,
00:42:35.65\00:42:40.09
then the full corn or perfection
00:42:40.12\00:42:42.09
or the most holy place,
00:42:42.12\00:42:43.86
this is what God's
looking for people.
00:42:43.89\00:42:45.73
Because what?
00:42:45.76\00:42:47.10
He's wanting to make sure
He can trust you and trust me
00:42:47.13\00:42:49.03
to make heaven our home.
00:42:49.06\00:42:51.27
It's not going to
be unruly ever again.
00:42:51.30\00:42:54.04
God's gonna put an end to it.
00:42:54.07\00:42:56.07
And so he let
the battle royale go
00:42:56.10\00:42:58.27
so that the angels could see.
00:42:58.31\00:43:01.04
The universe could see.
00:43:01.08\00:43:02.41
You realize how
many other worlds,
00:43:02.44\00:43:03.78
there are millions and billions,
00:43:03.81\00:43:05.15
I'm convinced it's
trillions of other worlds
00:43:05.18\00:43:06.75
that God has created.
00:43:06.78\00:43:08.38
There's people on them.
00:43:08.42\00:43:09.75
Oh, I know, it's too
much for some of you.
00:43:09.78\00:43:12.29
You think God's going to limit.
00:43:12.32\00:43:13.89
God that He is to
little old earth right here
00:43:13.92\00:43:16.69
and just a few people.
00:43:16.73\00:43:19.43
He created them for
His glory, remember?
00:43:19.46\00:43:21.96
Man, he, there should be
a lot of glory given to Him,
00:43:22.00\00:43:25.00
isn't that right?
00:43:25.03\00:43:26.37
Three angels'
message, give glory to Him
00:43:26.40\00:43:28.84
for the hour of
His judgment is come.
00:43:28.87\00:43:32.77
God's law, He
demands perfect obedience.
00:43:32.81\00:43:36.08
Remember, the devil is
angry with the remnant,
00:43:36.11\00:43:40.12
who do what?
00:43:40.15\00:43:41.58
Who keeps the
commandments of God.
00:43:41.62\00:43:43.42
It's still the same
argument. I love this.
00:43:43.45\00:43:46.42
The same argument is still there
00:43:46.45\00:43:48.06
that began in heaven.
00:43:48.09\00:43:49.52
Again, it's
impossible to keep the law.
00:43:49.56\00:43:53.19
So again, the real issue
00:43:53.23\00:43:54.60
in the great controversy is not,
00:43:54.63\00:43:56.43
notice this, it's not an
outward thing recognition
00:43:56.46\00:44:01.47
or even compliance
with the law of God.
00:44:01.50\00:44:04.91
It's the inner state.
00:44:04.94\00:44:07.61
Inner state in the mind,
00:44:07.64\00:44:08.98
state of the
mind, and the heart,
00:44:09.01\00:44:11.21
which is revealed by
obedience or disobedience.
00:44:11.25\00:44:14.42
So what do you
have inside of you?
00:44:14.45\00:44:16.25
You have obedience or
you have disobedience,
00:44:16.28\00:44:18.99
you see.
00:44:19.02\00:44:20.36
Man, we need to be
obedient to what God says.
00:44:20.39\00:44:22.79
So Satan, then again,
00:44:22.82\00:44:24.16
begins to attack the law of God.
00:44:24.19\00:44:27.03
He said is faulty, that
no one can perfectly obey it.
00:44:27.06\00:44:32.27
Now, I might throw this out.
00:44:32.30\00:44:35.17
What he said, in my
opinion, is partially true.
00:44:35.20\00:44:38.71
Now, if there
wasn't something in there,
00:44:38.74\00:44:40.51
you wouldn't listen, would you?
00:44:40.54\00:44:42.01
You say, "Oh, no,
that's all false."
00:44:42.04\00:44:43.75
He said, wow,
00:44:46.98\00:44:48.68
it's faulty and
you can't keep it.
00:44:48.72\00:44:52.15
Well, okay.
00:44:52.19\00:44:54.82
No one can
perfectly obey God's law
00:44:54.86\00:45:00.50
unless they truly love God.
00:45:00.53\00:45:03.93
I'm talking about
a real love for God
00:45:06.97\00:45:10.21
and then exercise
real faith in Him.
00:45:10.24\00:45:14.81
Unite with Him.
00:45:14.84\00:45:16.38
Divinity and humanity
00:45:16.41\00:45:18.71
coming together
yoking up together.
00:45:18.75\00:45:21.45
Man, you can't beat that.
00:45:21.48\00:45:23.45
That's a winner when
you yoke up with Christ,
00:45:23.49\00:45:27.42
you're more than a conqueror.
00:45:27.46\00:45:29.39
Isn't that right?
00:45:29.42\00:45:30.76
I mean, that's wonderful news.
00:45:30.79\00:45:32.33
Our problem is we don't yoke up.
00:45:32.36\00:45:33.96
We're not yoking up.
00:45:34.00\00:45:35.33
We're professing to
yoke up, but we don't.
00:45:35.36\00:45:37.23
The same old thing goes
on day after day in the home,
00:45:37.27\00:45:40.34
and maybe out in the workplace.
00:45:40.37\00:45:42.04
We living for
the devil out there,
00:45:42.07\00:45:43.41
and we get around Christians,
00:45:43.44\00:45:44.77
we try to live a Christian life.
00:45:44.81\00:45:46.14
You're not going
to heaven that way.
00:45:46.17\00:45:47.64
It's not going
to happen that way.
00:45:47.68\00:45:50.58
We need to ask God
for help, Lord have mercy.
00:45:50.61\00:45:55.52
Remember, an
attack upon God's law,
00:45:55.55\00:45:58.49
listen, is really an
attack upon God's what?
00:45:58.52\00:46:01.79
Good. Character
and His authority.
00:46:01.82\00:46:05.89
The Bible is clear
what's in the heart
00:46:05.93\00:46:09.10
is revealed by the outward life.
00:46:09.13\00:46:13.27
Bible said, "By their
fruits, you shall know them."
00:46:13.30\00:46:15.77
See, a lot of time we say that,
00:46:15.80\00:46:17.17
you know, we need to
make sure as Christians
00:46:17.21\00:46:19.61
that we dress and
we act when we talk,
00:46:19.64\00:46:21.74
and we eat what?
00:46:21.78\00:46:23.11
Like a Christian
should, what the Bible says.
00:46:23.14\00:46:26.35
It makes a
difference because sometimes,
00:46:26.38\00:46:30.29
what's on the
outside is an indication
00:46:30.32\00:46:32.69
of what's on the inside.
00:46:32.72\00:46:34.82
Is that not true?
00:46:34.86\00:46:37.06
It comes out on the outside
00:46:37.09\00:46:39.09
sometimes we see rebellion
00:46:39.13\00:46:40.46
and all kinds of
stuff on the outside,
00:46:40.50\00:46:42.66
come from the inside.
00:46:42.70\00:46:45.53
God wants the inside.
00:46:45.57\00:46:47.17
The Jews were good
00:46:47.20\00:46:48.54
about cleansing
the cup, were they not?
00:46:48.57\00:46:50.81
The outside while
we're always looking good
00:46:50.84\00:46:53.21
but the inside was full.
00:46:53.24\00:46:55.11
Things that God said
no, we need not do that.
00:46:55.14\00:46:58.41
God wants to clean
us inside and outside
00:46:58.45\00:47:01.78
the central issue of the war
00:47:01.82\00:47:04.12
between Christ and Satan.
00:47:04.15\00:47:05.49
Come on, let's do it again.
00:47:05.52\00:47:06.86
Let's trace it fast
as we can, it's simple.
00:47:06.89\00:47:09.22
You ask ourselves the
question from the beginning.
00:47:09.26\00:47:11.83
Notice the question
00:47:11.86\00:47:13.19
when Lucifer first
rebelled in heaven,
00:47:13.23\00:47:16.16
what was the issue about?
00:47:16.20\00:47:17.77
Think about it?
00:47:17.80\00:47:19.70
Over the law of God,
00:47:19.73\00:47:21.07
just what we've
been saying, right?
00:47:21.10\00:47:22.44
So we're starting
up in heaven right now.
00:47:22.47\00:47:24.34
And whether or
not this law could be
00:47:24.37\00:47:28.21
if it was good, and
if it was necessary,
00:47:28.24\00:47:31.61
and whether or not
it could be obeyed.
00:47:31.65\00:47:33.95
That's where the
rebellion began up there.
00:47:33.98\00:47:36.48
Interesting.
00:47:36.52\00:47:38.22
Great Controversy,
page 582 says this,
00:47:38.25\00:47:41.56
"From the very beginning
00:47:41.59\00:47:43.83
of the great
controversy in heaven,
00:47:43.86\00:47:45.43
it has been Satan's purpose
to overthrow the law of God."
00:47:45.46\00:47:50.03
What was his purpose?
00:47:50.07\00:47:51.53
To overthrow, yeah,
00:47:51.57\00:47:52.90
the law of God
and he was cast out.
00:47:52.93\00:47:55.54
Isn't that right?
00:47:55.57\00:47:56.91
He was cast out of heaven,
00:47:56.94\00:47:58.34
and he continued his
warfare on this earth.
00:47:58.37\00:48:01.61
Now let's, let's follow these
00:48:01.64\00:48:03.48
and we'll get six
or seven things here.
00:48:03.51\00:48:04.88
Notice, we'll follow it
from heaven to the end of time,
00:48:04.91\00:48:08.72
and see what the
issue has always been
00:48:08.75\00:48:11.62
and will continue to
be until Jesus will come.
00:48:11.65\00:48:14.79
First of all,
Lucifer rebelled where?
00:48:14.82\00:48:16.86
In heaven, the issue,
00:48:16.89\00:48:18.66
whether or not
God's law could be obeyed.
00:48:18.69\00:48:20.93
Number two, there was
war in the Garden of Eden.
00:48:20.96\00:48:25.17
Are you still there?
00:48:25.20\00:48:26.77
Before Adam and Eve sinned issue
00:48:26.80\00:48:29.47
was whether or not
God's law could be obeyed?
00:48:29.50\00:48:33.58
Does that make sense?
00:48:33.61\00:48:35.18
Yes, the same issue,
00:48:35.21\00:48:36.85
whether or not the law
of God could be obeyed.
00:48:36.88\00:48:39.55
After Adam sinned,
00:48:39.58\00:48:43.25
the issue was whether or not
00:48:43.28\00:48:45.19
God's law could be obeyed.
00:48:45.22\00:48:49.59
What would he say?
00:48:49.62\00:48:51.23
What has God said?
00:48:51.26\00:48:52.89
You'll surely die?
00:48:52.93\00:48:54.26
Oh, no, you see.
00:48:54.30\00:48:56.23
Even right then.
00:48:56.26\00:48:57.60
So we find that number
four, in the Old Testament,
00:48:57.63\00:49:00.54
all through the Old
Testament, let's take it there.
00:49:00.57\00:49:03.81
What happened?
00:49:03.84\00:49:05.17
What was the real
issue in the Old Testament?
00:49:05.21\00:49:07.38
It remained the
same whether or not
00:49:07.41\00:49:11.18
God's law could be obeyed.
00:49:11.21\00:49:13.92
Now we go to the New Testament,
the time Jesus was here.
00:49:13.95\00:49:19.25
What was the central
issue between God and Satan?
00:49:19.29\00:49:23.76
Whether or not,
isn't that right,
00:49:23.79\00:49:26.53
God's law could be obeyed?
00:49:26.56\00:49:28.16
I've done the same thing.
00:49:28.20\00:49:29.53
It hasn't
changed did you see it?
00:49:29.56\00:49:31.00
It hasn't changed from
heaven when it came down here.
00:49:31.03\00:49:34.00
It didn't change in
the garden before the fall.
00:49:34.04\00:49:37.14
It didn't change after the fall.
00:49:37.17\00:49:39.87
In the Old Testament,
the issue was still the same
00:49:39.91\00:49:42.18
of whether you could
be obedient to God or not.
00:49:42.21\00:49:44.51
The New Testament time
00:49:44.55\00:49:45.88
when Jesus said
the same thing, six.
00:49:45.91\00:49:47.65
So let's take it from
Christ time to our time.
00:49:47.68\00:49:52.22
It's the same issue.
00:49:52.25\00:49:53.82
It's unchanged.
00:49:53.86\00:49:55.19
Still yet whether or not
the law of God can be obeyed.
00:49:55.22\00:49:59.83
You hear people tell you that,
00:49:59.86\00:50:01.20
that don't believe in
keeping all the commandments.
00:50:01.23\00:50:02.60
"You can't keep
God's law anyway,
00:50:02.63\00:50:03.97
doesn't matter,
just to do that."
00:50:04.00\00:50:05.70
Really?
00:50:05.73\00:50:07.07
So God is not
able, Christ is not able,
00:50:07.10\00:50:09.14
the Holy Spirit is not
able to keep you from sinning
00:50:09.17\00:50:11.37
what the Bible says.
00:50:11.41\00:50:12.84
Yeah, that's not the
problem with the word
00:50:12.87\00:50:15.44
just like it wasn't the
problem with the Old Covenant.
00:50:15.48\00:50:18.71
Right? There's no problem there.
00:50:18.75\00:50:20.18
It's with the
people, it's with me,
00:50:20.22\00:50:22.52
that may be with you
and I look in the mirror,
00:50:22.55\00:50:24.29
I'm the problem, not God.
00:50:24.32\00:50:26.52
So we look and we say,
okay, from Christ time to ours,
00:50:26.55\00:50:29.19
the same issue exists,
00:50:29.22\00:50:31.33
whether or not the
law of God can be obeyed.
00:50:31.36\00:50:34.03
One more time,
just think about here
00:50:34.06\00:50:35.50
in this last generation,
00:50:35.53\00:50:37.17
just before Jesus
comes, what is the great issue?
00:50:37.20\00:50:42.17
Whether or not God's
law can be obeyed perfectly
00:50:42.20\00:50:46.24
by the grace
and strength of God?
00:50:46.27\00:50:48.21
The Holy Spirit,
00:50:48.24\00:50:49.68
Great Controversy 451 says this,
00:50:49.71\00:50:52.05
"The last great conflict
is between truth and error."
00:50:52.08\00:50:56.92
The last great conflict is what?
00:50:56.95\00:50:59.49
It's between truth and error.
00:50:59.52\00:51:01.32
Desire of Ages, 763
says, "The law is changeless."
00:51:01.36\00:51:07.30
It cannot change.
00:51:07.33\00:51:08.66
It will not change
00:51:08.70\00:51:10.03
because it is
the character of God.
00:51:10.07\00:51:12.60
Does that make sense?
00:51:12.63\00:51:16.04
Boy, when you look at all
this, you say, well, this is...
00:51:16.07\00:51:19.67
What people are trying to do.
00:51:19.71\00:51:21.04
The Bible said, people
come and say, oh, yeah,
00:51:21.08\00:51:23.55
we don't need all
the law, most of us good.
00:51:23.58\00:51:26.05
We quoted James
2:10, you remember,
00:51:26.08\00:51:28.02
says, "For whosoever
shall keep the whole law
00:51:28.05\00:51:29.95
yet offend in," what?
00:51:29.98\00:51:31.59
"One point, he's guilty of all."
00:51:31.62\00:51:34.69
And you say, well,
we don't know what law.
00:51:34.72\00:51:36.39
Yes, we do know what law.
00:51:36.42\00:51:37.76
You got to read
beyond verses 11 and 12.
00:51:37.79\00:51:40.13
The Bible goes on
to say, let's you know,
00:51:40.16\00:51:42.00
speaking of God's
Ten Commandment law
00:51:42.03\00:51:43.97
because it says,
"Do not commit adultery,
00:51:44.00\00:51:46.70
do not kill."
00:51:46.74\00:51:48.07
That's God's
Ten Commandment law.
00:51:48.10\00:51:49.74
And it says, "So speak ye,
00:51:49.77\00:51:51.47
and so do as they
that shall be judged
00:51:51.51\00:51:54.28
by the law of liberty."
00:51:54.31\00:51:55.98
Oh, I hear people say oh,
00:51:56.01\00:51:57.71
you poor for we
feel so sorry for you.
00:51:57.75\00:52:00.78
Oh, you legalistic,
I almost said outfits.
00:52:00.82\00:52:04.29
You can't say that, can
you? You legalistic people.
00:52:04.32\00:52:06.76
Oh, I'm telling you, you
know, there's no law of bondage.
00:52:06.79\00:52:10.03
Oh, you're in handcuffs.
00:52:10.06\00:52:11.46
No, no, no, that's not
what the Bible says at all.
00:52:11.49\00:52:14.06
You're going to be judged
by the perfect law of liberty.
00:52:14.10\00:52:17.07
It's the law of
liberty when I lay my head down
00:52:17.10\00:52:19.00
at night knowing I
have been willfully,
00:52:19.03\00:52:21.27
right, broken one
of God's commandments.
00:52:21.30\00:52:23.04
Man, that's liberty.
Man, that's freedom in Christ.
00:52:23.07\00:52:26.11
And here's an argument,
00:52:26.14\00:52:27.84
you can always use
an argument against that
00:52:27.88\00:52:30.01
reasoning
sometime people give you.
00:52:30.05\00:52:32.58
Adam and Eve before sin
for however many years it was.
00:52:32.61\00:52:37.09
They were perfectly
happy in the Garden of Eden,
00:52:37.12\00:52:41.32
in obedience to the law of God.
00:52:41.36\00:52:43.32
Were they obedient?
00:52:43.36\00:52:44.69
Yes, they were,
don't know how many years
00:52:44.73\00:52:46.56
they were
obedient to the law of God.
00:52:46.59\00:52:48.33
This fact we know
that it was a fact
00:52:48.36\00:52:50.93
was a constant
testimony against that claim
00:52:50.97\00:52:53.97
that sometimes people make
00:52:54.00\00:52:55.34
that Satan had
urged in heaven entered,
00:52:55.37\00:52:58.17
that God's law was oppressive,
00:52:58.21\00:53:00.24
that God's law was opposed
to the good of His creation.
00:53:00.28\00:53:05.05
Evidently, they didn't
know it for a long time.
00:53:05.08\00:53:07.82
They did exactly
what God want them to do,
00:53:07.85\00:53:09.32
in perfect obedience.
00:53:09.35\00:53:10.69
They were perfect
like the angels of heaven
00:53:10.72\00:53:12.05
until she made a choice,
00:53:12.09\00:53:15.06
he made a choice.
00:53:15.09\00:53:16.96
How could this
take place background?
00:53:16.99\00:53:19.09
How could this
possibly take place?
00:53:19.13\00:53:20.46
Great Controversy, 495,
00:53:20.50\00:53:22.33
Lucifer was dearly
beloved and reverenced
00:53:22.36\00:53:25.20
by the angels in heaven.
00:53:25.23\00:53:27.67
What was he?
00:53:27.70\00:53:29.44
They loved him.
00:53:29.47\00:53:31.51
He was fourth, right?
00:53:31.54\00:53:33.31
In power made like
God, close as it could.
00:53:33.34\00:53:37.95
We can't understand that.
00:53:37.98\00:53:39.41
Try to get it in our
head, it's like awesomeness.
00:53:39.45\00:53:44.05
The first being
created by God was Lucifer,
00:53:44.09\00:53:48.96
made him nearly
like Himself as He could.
00:53:48.99\00:53:53.03
And he was to occupy
the position next to Christ.
00:53:53.06\00:53:58.00
Next to Christ, he
was most honored by God.
00:53:58.03\00:54:02.14
Man, that's heavy.
00:54:02.17\00:54:04.11
But pride and jealousy
and all this stuff came in,
00:54:04.14\00:54:06.51
doubts came in
about God's character
00:54:06.54\00:54:08.24
and His government.
00:54:08.28\00:54:10.85
Now, remember,
00:54:10.88\00:54:12.21
the third of the
angels were fooled.
00:54:12.25\00:54:14.48
You know the reason
why, think about it,
00:54:14.52\00:54:16.08
the third of the
angels were fooled.
00:54:16.12\00:54:18.25
Here's what we have to remember.
00:54:18.29\00:54:20.09
We have to remember
that sin was a new thing.
00:54:20.12\00:54:24.89
How could angels
without sin be fooled?
00:54:24.93\00:54:29.10
They didn't know sin.
00:54:29.13\00:54:30.97
They couldn't comprehend
what sin was that little
00:54:31.00\00:54:33.54
nor tell how
many years thousands
00:54:33.57\00:54:36.07
or millions of learning?
00:54:36.10\00:54:37.44
You know what I mean?
00:54:37.47\00:54:38.81
So they didn't understand
00:54:38.84\00:54:40.18
so something brand
spanking new to them.
00:54:40.21\00:54:42.84
Evil didn't appear as evil.
00:54:42.88\00:54:44.68
The angels looked at
amazement upon the devices
00:54:49.88\00:54:54.29
that Satan had
against the Divine Law of God.
00:54:54.32\00:54:56.99
They couldn't believe it.
00:54:57.03\00:54:58.69
But they still
couldn't quite figure it out.
00:54:58.73\00:55:02.03
The angels pled with
Lucifer to get things right.
00:55:02.06\00:55:05.70
God pled with
Lucifer to get right
00:55:05.73\00:55:07.80
before he was
kicked out of heaven.
00:55:07.84\00:55:09.17
Jesus came to the
enemy several times,
00:55:09.20\00:55:12.27
pleading with
him to get it right
00:55:12.31\00:55:14.14
so he could come back
in his original position,
00:55:14.18\00:55:16.64
he would not do it.
00:55:16.68\00:55:18.51
Great Controversy, 495 says,
00:55:18.55\00:55:21.75
"The Son of God presented
before him the greatness,
00:55:21.78\00:55:24.79
and the goodness, and
the justice of the Creator,
00:55:24.82\00:55:28.09
the unchanging
nature of His law.
00:55:28.12\00:55:30.43
God Himself had
established the order of heaven
00:55:30.46\00:55:33.73
and departing from it,
00:55:33.76\00:55:35.10
Lucifer would
dishonor his Maker,
00:55:35.13\00:55:37.37
and bring ruin upon himself."
00:55:37.40\00:55:40.04
Why didn't God just
go ahead and destroy
00:55:40.07\00:55:41.94
the old devil
and the evil angels?
00:55:41.97\00:55:45.47
Listen quickly as
time's running out,
00:55:45.51\00:55:46.84
Desire of Ages, 759 makes sense,
00:55:46.88\00:55:49.61
says in the council's of heaven,
00:55:49.64\00:55:51.81
listen, don't you
come up, whatever you do?
00:55:51.85\00:55:55.78
Don't dare.
00:55:55.82\00:55:57.25
I'm not saying
this in an ugly way.
00:55:57.29\00:55:58.62
Don't dare to go
against the councils of heaven.
00:55:58.65\00:56:01.06
When it says the
council of heaven
00:56:01.09\00:56:02.42
that means the rulers of
the universe got together
00:56:02.46\00:56:04.96
and here's what they
said the council of heaven,
00:56:04.99\00:56:07.10
and I still believe God
and Jesus and Holy Spirit,
00:56:07.13\00:56:09.43
notice, "In the councils
of heaven it was decided time
00:56:09.46\00:56:12.13
must be given to Satan
to develop his principles
00:56:12.17\00:56:15.30
which were the foundation
of his system of government."
00:56:15.34\00:56:17.64
Why?
00:56:17.67\00:56:19.01
Because they didn't understand,
the universe didn't understand.
00:56:19.04\00:56:21.21
God said, now we
got to give it time.
00:56:21.24\00:56:23.45
Until he exposes himself
for what he's really up to.
00:56:23.48\00:56:25.88
We know it, but
the rest of them don't.
00:56:25.91\00:56:27.82
It's all new to them.
00:56:27.85\00:56:29.18
It would be wrong
for me to go ahead
00:56:29.22\00:56:30.55
because they'd
all have questions
00:56:30.59\00:56:31.92
and sin would rise up
and continue to rise up.
00:56:31.95\00:56:33.79
We've got to give it
time, time was given like to us.
00:56:33.82\00:56:37.09
When we sinned and we rebelled,
00:56:37.13\00:56:38.46
he doesn't take
our life immediately.
00:56:38.49\00:56:40.20
He gives us a little
bit of time to get it right.
00:56:40.23\00:56:42.96
He wants us to know the
real true character of sin.
00:56:43.00\00:56:45.57
He wants to know
the penalty for sin.
00:56:45.60\00:56:48.17
Transgression is an ugly
thing put on the whole world.
00:56:48.20\00:56:51.64
It's a death
sentence on the world,
00:56:51.67\00:56:53.38
we need a Savior.
00:56:53.41\00:56:56.41
And I know right
we needed a Savior,
00:56:56.44\00:56:58.21
I can hear the words in heaven.
00:56:58.25\00:56:59.88
You know, in heaven it was said,
00:56:59.91\00:57:01.25
I have found a ransom.
00:57:01.28\00:57:05.22
Heaven found a ransom
for man and for this world,
00:57:05.25\00:57:07.86
which was Jesus Christ.
00:57:07.89\00:57:09.99
How many times have you heard it
00:57:10.03\00:57:11.36
said we can't go into,
00:57:11.39\00:57:12.73
we'll do it another time
00:57:12.76\00:57:14.10
that God's law is a
transcript of His character.
00:57:14.13\00:57:16.23
Man, we could go
through that so quick.
00:57:16.26\00:57:18.23
I'm not going to
give you the passage of it
00:57:18.27\00:57:19.83
but in the board
of God, it says this,
00:57:19.87\00:57:21.70
how's God's law
transcript of His character?
00:57:21.74\00:57:23.47
Notice quickly. God
is love, His law is love.
00:57:23.51\00:57:27.21
God is holy, His law is holy.
00:57:27.24\00:57:29.11
He's righteous,
His law is righteous.
00:57:29.14\00:57:31.65
Man, isn't that
beautiful when you look at it,
00:57:31.68\00:57:33.08
God is perfect,
His law is perfect.
00:57:33.11\00:57:34.78
God is spiritual.
00:57:34.82\00:57:36.15
I can't give
you all the passage.
00:57:36.18\00:57:37.52
His law is spiritual.
00:57:37.55\00:57:38.89
God is everlasting,
His law is everlasting.
00:57:38.92\00:57:40.36
God is truth, His law is truth.
00:57:40.39\00:57:42.06
God is light, His law is light.
00:57:42.09\00:57:43.86
God is good, His law is good.
00:57:43.89\00:57:45.83
God is just, His law is just.
00:57:45.86\00:57:49.20
It's a
transcript of His character,
00:57:49.23\00:57:50.73
that just gave the
fruits of the Spirit of God
00:57:50.77\00:57:52.93
and His law gave the same thing.
00:57:52.97\00:57:55.20
So you can't separate the two.
00:57:55.24\00:57:58.11
May God help us to see the devil
00:57:58.14\00:58:00.08
to tell you that the enemy,
00:58:00.11\00:58:02.34
he's putting you in his sights.
00:58:02.38\00:58:04.21
He's getting ready to
fire and by the grace of God,
00:58:04.25\00:58:06.55
we have to say no.
00:58:06.58\00:58:07.92
We stand on the side
of right because what?
00:58:07.95\00:58:09.98
Those who keep
the commandments God
00:58:10.02\00:58:11.55
and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ.
00:58:11.59\00:58:13.72
Shall we pray together?
00:58:13.76\00:58:16.79
Loving Father in heaven,
00:58:16.83\00:58:18.16
we thank You for
Your precious Word.
00:58:18.19\00:58:19.53
Thank You that
You made it so clear.
00:58:19.56\00:58:21.23
You have people
in these last days,
00:58:21.26\00:58:22.93
it can be anybody that
wants to be part of it.
00:58:22.96\00:58:25.60
Just read the Scripture
00:58:25.63\00:58:26.97
and have the holy
boldness to stand and say,
00:58:27.00\00:58:28.84
"You know what?
00:58:28.87\00:58:30.21
I may have been
going a different route
00:58:30.24\00:58:31.57
for a lot of years
00:58:31.61\00:58:32.94
but I know you
were still leading
00:58:32.97\00:58:34.31
and guiding in
my heart, in my life
00:58:34.34\00:58:35.68
for a time just like this."
00:58:35.71\00:58:37.48
So, Lord, give us that courage
00:58:37.51\00:58:39.11
that we need to
take our stand for You.
00:58:39.15\00:58:40.58
We thank You,
Lord, for Your love.
00:58:40.62\00:58:42.15
We thank You for how
just made it so clear
00:58:42.18\00:58:45.79
that You have a
people that have a message
00:58:45.82\00:58:48.42
as part of a movement,
00:58:48.46\00:58:49.79
and we want to
be a part of that.
00:58:49.82\00:58:51.16
Thank you for loving us.
00:58:51.19\00:58:52.53
Thank for decisions made
right now in Jesus' name.
00:58:52.56\00:58:54.53
Amen.
00:58:54.56\00:58:55.90
