00:01:18.53\00:01:22.23
RALPH, WELCOME TO
SACRAMENTO CENTRAL.
00:01:22.23\00:01:24.63
IT'S BEEN A LONG
TIME SINCE YOU WERE HERE.
00:01:24.63\00:01:27.10
>>IT'S BEEN A WHILE, YES,
BUT I'M GLAD TO BE HERE TODAY.
00:01:27.10\00:01:29.63
IT'S NICE TO BE
VISITING WITH YOU HERE.
00:01:29.63\00:01:31.70
>>TELL ME A LITTLE BIT - SHORT
- OF HOW DID YOU GET HERE TODAY.
00:01:31.70\00:01:34.90
EVERYBODY HAS A STORY.
00:01:34.90\00:01:36.33
>>HOW I GOT HERE TODAY? I
CAME BY PLANE FROM FLORIDA.
00:01:36.33\00:01:39.03
>>IN LIFE, YES. >>OH, IN LIFE.
00:01:39.03\00:01:41.23
IN LIFE, WE STARTED A
MUSIC MINISTRY BACK IN 1994.
00:01:41.23\00:01:45.06
IT WAS CALLED 'CALL
TO PRAISE MINISTRY'.
00:01:45.06\00:01:47.60
AND ACTUALLY, I KIND OF FEEL
LIKE SACRAMENTO CENTRAL IS OUR
00:01:47.60\00:01:50.33
HOME BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE
FIRST PLACES THAT WE ACTUALLY
00:01:50.33\00:01:53.93
BEGAN AS WE
STARTED OUR MUSIC MINISTRY.
00:01:53.93\00:01:56.70
AND FROM THERE - I DID THAT FOR
ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AND THEN BEGAN
00:01:56.70\00:01:59.96
PASTORING A SMALL CHURCH UP
IN SCOTTS VALLEY, CALIFORNIA AND
00:01:59.96\00:02:04.16
THEN WENT DOWN TO FLORIDA
AND I'M NOW PASTORING THE
00:02:04.16\00:02:07.90
PLYMOUTH-SORRENTO
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH AND
00:02:07.90\00:02:10.20
THE NEW BEGINNING MISSION.
00:02:10.20\00:02:12.13
PLYMOUTH-SORRENTO IS
RIGHT OUTSIDE OF APOPKA AND
00:02:12.13\00:02:15.20
NEW BEGINNING MISSION IS JUST
OUTSIDE OF ORLANDO A LITTLE BIT.
00:02:15.20\00:02:18.73
>>WELL RALPH AND I HAVE BEEN
FRIENDS - I FIRST MET HIM AND
00:02:18.73\00:02:21.46
HIS LOVELY WIFE JONI WHEN
I WAS SEVENTEEN AND WE WORKED
00:02:21.46\00:02:24.56
TOGETHER FOR A TIME.
AND ONE THING THAT I ALWAYS
00:02:24.56\00:02:27.36
APPRECIATED ABOUT RALPH IS THAT
HE LIKED TO GET THE YOUNG PEOPLE
00:02:27.36\00:02:31.26
INVOLVED IN
PARTICIPATING IN CHURCH.
00:02:31.26\00:02:34.03
YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW THIS BUT
- HE WOULD SIGN ME UP TO HELP
00:02:34.03\00:02:36.20
WITH SABBATH SCHOOL AND THINGS
LIKE THAT AND THAT MEANT A LOT
00:02:36.20\00:02:38.86
BECAUSE WE FELT, AS YOUNG
PEOPLE, THAT WE WERE VALUABLE
00:02:38.86\00:02:42.80
AND WE WERE GIVEN A PLACE
TO HELP LEARN TO LEAD SONG
00:02:42.80\00:02:45.53
SERVICES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO THANK YOU RALPH, FROM ME, FOR
00:02:45.53\00:02:49.33
- AS - YOU KNOW, TEENAGERS THEY
NEED ENCOURAGEMENT AND THEY NEED
00:02:49.33\00:02:52.63
ADULTS TO TAKE THEM UNDER THEIR
WINGS SO RALPH AND JONI WERE A
00:02:52.63\00:02:59.20
SO TODAY RALPH IS GOING TO SING
FOR US TWO SONGS - OH, LET ME
00:02:59.20\00:03:02.43

YOU HEAR HIM YOU'RE GOING TO GO
00:03:02.43\00:03:04.76

>>BE STILL AND
KNOW THAT HE IS GOD.
00:03:49.20\00:03:57.26
BE STILL AND
KNOW THAT HE IS HOLY.
00:03:57.26\00:04:05.33
BE STILL, O RESTLESS SOUL OF
MINE, BOW BEFORE THE PRINCE OF
00:04:05.33\00:04:12.70
PEACE, LET THE
NOISE AND CLAMOR CEASE.
00:04:12.70\00:04:21.46
BE STILL AND
KNOW THAT HE IS GOD.
00:04:21.46\00:04:29.20
BE STILL AND KNOW
THAT HE IS FAITHFUL.
00:04:29.20\00:04:37.40
CONSIDER ALL THAT HE HAS DONE.
STAND IN AWE AND BE AMAZED AND
00:04:37.40\00:04:46.16
KNOW THAT HE WILL
NEVER CHANGE. BE STILL.
00:04:46.16\00:05:00.56

BE STILL. BE SPEECHLESS. BE
STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD.
00:05:24.26\00:05:42.86

00:06:04.00\00:06:15.56
BE STILL, BE STILL.
00:06:15.56\00:06:37.53
>>THIS NEXT SONG IS A SONG
THAT I WROTE MANY YEARS AGO.
00:06:37.53\00:06:41.16
WHEN WE HAD OUR MUSIC
MINISTRY. WE WERE TRAVELING FROM
00:06:41.16\00:06:43.63
CALIFORNIA TO COLORADO AND I WAS
DRIVING THE BIG BUS UP FRONT ALL
00:06:43.63\00:06:47.43
ALONE AND THE LORD BROUGHT THIS
SONG TO ME AND I WANT TO SHARE
00:06:47.43\00:06:50.70
IT WITH YOU THIS MORNING.
00:06:50.70\00:06:52.13
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN YOUR
LIFE IS THAT YOU COME TO MEET
00:06:52.13\00:06:54.30
JESUS AND KNOW HIM AS YOUR
PERSONAL FRIEND AND SAVIOR.
00:06:54.30\00:07:00.70
(MUSIC)
00:07:00.70\00:07:01.70
>>I'VE TRAVELED ALL ACROSS
THIS LAND AND EVERY WHERE I GO
00:07:19.83\00:07:29.90
PEOPLE'S HEARTS ARE FILLED WITH
FEAR FOR A FUTURE THEY DON'T
00:07:29.90\00:07:36.13
KNOW. THEY DON'T
SEEM TO UNDERSTAND
00:07:36.13\00:07:43.96
THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY, TO
PLACE THEIR LIVES IN JESUS'
00:07:43.96\00:07:51.73
HANDS AND COME TO HIM TODAY.
I WANT THEM TO MEET JESUS.
00:07:51.73\00:08:03.96
HE'S A FRIEND ABOVE ALL FRIENDS.
HE'LL NEVER FORSAKE THEM,
00:08:03.96\00:08:13.80
HIS LOVE KNOWS NO END.
NO MATTER WHAT THEY'VE COME
00:08:13.80\00:08:21.66
THROUGH, NO MATTER WHERE THEY'VE
BEEN, HE CAME NOT TO CONDEMN
00:08:21.66\00:08:30.86
THE WORLD BUT TO
SAVE THEM FROM THEIR SIN.
00:08:30.86\00:08:38.33
ARE YOU SECURE IN THE LIFE THAT
YOU LIVE OR ARE YOU LOST AND
00:08:38.33\00:08:45.00
CONFUSED? YOU SEARCH
AND STRUGGLE FOR THAT
00:08:45.00\00:08:50.30
PEACE OF MIND AND YOU
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
00:08:50.30\00:08:58.60
LET ME INTRODUCE YOU NOW TO
A FRIEND OF MINE AND WHEN YOU
00:08:58.60\00:09:09.23
GIVE YOUR LIFE TO HIM
THAT PEACE YOU'LL SURELY FIND.
00:09:09.23\00:09:18.43
I WANT YOU TO MEET JESUS.
HE'S A FRIEND ABOVE ALL FRIENDS.
00:09:18.43\00:09:28.10
HE'LL NEVER FORSAKE
YOU. HIS LOVE KNOWS NO END.
00:09:28.10\00:09:37.63
NO MATTER WHAT YOU'VE COME
THROUGH NO MATTER WHERE YOU'VE
00:09:37.63\00:09:45.00
BEEN HE CAME NOT TO CONDEMN
YOUR LIFE BUT TO SAVE YOU FROM
00:09:45.00\00:09:54.56
YOUR SIN. NO
GREATER LOVE HAS ANY MAN
00:09:54.56\00:10:03.63
THAN THE SAVIOR HAS FOR YOU.
HE GAVE HIS LIFE THEN ROSE AGAIN
00:10:03.63\00:10:13.26
THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE LIFE TOO.
CONSIDER LIFE WITHIN HIS HANDS,
00:10:13.26\00:10:22.63
HOW DIFFERENT IT WOULD BE.
JUST TAKE THE TIME TO MEET MY
00:10:22.63\00:10:30.53
FRIEND AND COME ALONG WITH
ME. I WANT YOU TO MEET JESUS.
00:10:30.53\00:10:42.83
HE'S A FRIEND ABOVE ALL FRIENDS.
HE'LL NEVER FORSAKE YOU,
00:10:42.83\00:10:52.43
HIS LOVE KNOWS NO END.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU'VE COME
00:10:52.43\00:10:59.70
THROUGH, NO
MATTER WHERE YOU'VE BEEN,

00:13:27.10\00:13:31.56
WELL, WE ARE GOING INTO OUR
FINAL LESSON FOR THIS QUARTER SO
00:13:31.56\00:13:37.26
WE'RE IN LESSON NUMBER 13 AND
THE TITLE IS 'EXHORTATIONS FROM
00:13:37.26\00:13:41.76
THE SANCTUARY' AND WE'RE
GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THAT IN
00:13:41.76\00:13:46.10
PARTICULAR HERE THIS MORNING.
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT OUR
00:13:46.10\00:13:48.46
MEMORY TEXT AND I WANT TO - I'M
GOING TO READ IT FROM THE KING
00:13:48.46\00:13:52.20
JAMES VERSION HERE
THIS MORNING SO HERE IT IS.
00:13:52.20\00:13:55.06
IT'S FOUND IN HEBREWS CHAPTER
10, VERSES 21 AND 22 AND THIS IS
00:13:55.06\00:13:58.60
A PART OF THE PASSAGE OF
SCRIPTURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:13:58.60\00:14:01.73
LOOKING AT THIS MORNING. HEBREWS
CHAPTER 10, VERSES 21 AND 22.
00:14:01.73\00:14:07.40
IT SAYS, "AND HAVING A HIGH
PRIEST OVER THE HOUSE OF GOD,
00:14:07.40\00:14:10.76
LET US DRAW NEAR WITH A
TRUE HEART IN FULL ASSURANCE OF
00:14:10.76\00:14:14.80
FAITH, HAVING OUR
HEARTS SPRINKLED FROM AN EVIL
00:14:14.80\00:14:17.50
CONSCIENCE AND OUR
BODIES WASHED WITH PURE WATER."
00:14:17.50\00:14:22.13
JUST PRIOR TO THIS, FROM CHAPTER
7 AND ON, PAUL HAS GIVEN A
00:14:22.13\00:14:26.13
FANTASTIC THEOLOGICAL
DESCRIPTION OF CHRIST'S
00:14:26.13\00:14:29.66
SACRIFICE AND HIS
HIGH PRIESTLY MINISTRY.
00:14:29.66\00:14:32.70
IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 7, CHRIST IS
PORTRAYED AS A HIGH PRIEST AFTER
00:14:32.70\00:14:37.16
THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.
THEN IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 8,
00:14:37.16\00:14:41.56
CHRIST IS PRESENTED AS THE HIGH
PRIEST OF THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY
00:14:41.56\00:14:45.13
AND OF THE NEW
COVENANT - THE BETTER COVENANT.
00:14:45.13\00:14:48.56
HEBREWS CHAPTER 9 - THE BLOOD
OF CHRIST MAKES THE NEW COVENANT
00:14:48.56\00:14:53.43
EFFECTIVE. AND THEN
IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 10,
00:14:53.43\00:14:56.13
JUST PRIOR TO THESE VERSES,
CHRIST'S SACRIFICE IS PRESENTED
00:14:56.13\00:15:00.20
AS BEING SUPERIOR
TO ANIMAL SACRIFICES.
00:15:00.20\00:15:04.40
NOW, THE WRITER OF
HEBREWS CLAIMED THAT THE EARTHLY
00:15:04.40\00:15:06.73
SANCTUARY SHOULD NO LONGER CLAIM
THEIR LOYALTY - OR CLAIM THE
00:15:06.73\00:15:11.16
LOYALTY AND DEVOTION OF THE
JEWISH PEOPLE BECAUSE GOD HAD
00:15:11.16\00:15:15.96
SET UP SOMETHING FAR MORE
SUPERIOR - SOMETHING FAR BETTER
00:15:15.96\00:15:19.43
THAN THE EARTHLY SANCTUARY.
00:15:19.43\00:15:21.26
THE EARTHLY WAS SIMPLY A SHADOW
OF THAT GREAT SANCTUARY IN
00:15:21.26\00:15:25.83
HEAVEN THAT WE'VE BEEN STUDYING
ABOUT OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS.
00:15:25.83\00:15:29.26
THE LATTER - THE HEAVENLY
SANCTUARY - IS SUPERIOR WITH A
00:15:29.26\00:15:32.86
SUPERIOR PRIEST - A DEATHLESS
PRIEST IN HEAVEN - A PRICELESS
00:15:32.86\00:15:37.16
SACRIFICE THAT CHRIST MADE FOR
US. A MORE - AS THE WRITER SAYS,
00:15:37.16\00:15:42.06
'A MORE EXCELLENT
MINISTRY' WHILE THE FORMER -
00:15:42.06\00:15:45.80
THE EARTHLY SANCTUARY
- THE TYPE - IS INFERIOR.
00:15:45.80\00:15:50.43
YOU HAVE PRIESTS
BUT THEY DIED, YOU SEE.
00:15:50.43\00:15:53.26
YOU HAD SACRIFICES OF ANIMALS
AND YOU HAD TO ACCESS GOD
00:15:53.26\00:15:57.90
VIA A HUMAN EARTHLY PRIEST.
YOU COULDN'T GO INTO THE MOST
00:15:57.90\00:16:02.06
HOLY PLACE OF THE HEAVENLY - OF
THE SANCTUARY, RATHER, WITHOUT
00:16:02.06\00:16:05.60
THE WORK OF THE PRIEST.
THE PRIEST - THE HIGH PRIEST
00:16:05.60\00:16:09.46
WOULD GO INTO
THE MOST HOLY PLACE.
00:16:09.46\00:16:11.83
BUT NOW, PAUL, HAVING BUILT HIS
CASE HERE, HE ENCOURAGES AND HE
00:16:11.83\00:16:17.20
EXHORTS BELIEVERS TO LIVE
ACCORDING TO THE IMPLICATIONS OF
00:16:17.20\00:16:20.73
THESE TRUTHS - THAT THERE
IS A BETTER SANCTUARY, A BETTER
00:16:20.73\00:16:24.73
MINISTRY, A BETTER
HIGH PRIEST YOU UNDERSTAND,
00:16:24.73\00:16:27.20
BETTER SACRIFICES.
00:16:27.20\00:16:28.63
AND SO LET'S READ THE TEXT THAT
WE'RE GOING TO BE SPENDING A
00:16:28.63\00:16:30.63
LITTLE TIME ON HERE,
THIS MORNING, IN OUR STUDY.
00:16:30.63\00:16:33.20
HEBREWS CHAPTER 10 AND
WE'RE READING VERSES 19 AND ON.
00:16:33.20\00:16:36.16
IT SAYS, "THEREFORE, BRETHREN,
HAVING BOLDNESS TO ENTER THE
00:16:36.16\00:16:39.23
HOLIEST BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS,
BY A NEW AND LIVING WAY WHICH HE
00:16:39.23\00:16:44.60
CONSECRATED FOR US THROUGH THE
VEIL, THAT IS, HIS FLESH, AND
00:16:44.60\00:16:49.06
HAVING A HIGH PRIEST OVER THE
HOUSE OF GOD, LET US DRAW NEAR
00:16:49.06\00:16:53.53
WITH A TRUE HEART IN FULL
ASSURANCE OF FAITH, HAVING OUR
00:16:53.53\00:16:57.03
HEARTS SPRINKLED FROM AN EVIL
CONSCIENCE AND OUR BODIES WASHED
00:16:57.03\00:17:00.76
WITH PURE WATER.
00:17:00.76\00:17:02.20
LET US HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION
OF OUR FAITH WITHOUT WAVERING,
00:17:02.20\00:17:05.06
FOR HE WHO
PROMISED IS FAITHFUL."
00:17:05.06\00:17:08.10
VERSE 24, "AND LET US CONSIDER
ONE ANOTHER TO PROVOKE UNTO LOVE
00:17:08.10\00:17:11.70
AND TO GOOD WORKS, NOT FORSAKING
THE ASSEMBLING OF OURSELVES
00:17:11.70\00:17:15.60
TOGETHER, AS IS THE MANNER OF
SOME, BUT EXHORTING ONE ANOTHER;
00:17:15.60\00:17:20.16
AND SO MUCH THE MORE AS
YOU SEE THE DAY APPROACHING."
00:17:20.16\00:17:26.03
NOW THE LESSON BRINGS THIS OUT
AND IT WAS QUITE INTERESTING.
00:17:26.03\00:17:28.50
THERE WERE TWO FACTS THAT WERE
MENTIONED - TWO FACTS, WHICH
00:17:28.50\00:17:31.40
LEADS TO THESE THREE
EXHORTATIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO
00:17:31.40\00:17:33.66
SPEND TIME LOOKING
AT HERE THIS MORNING.
00:17:33.66\00:17:36.03
THE TWO FACTS ARE THAT WE
CAN ACCESS THE THRONE - THE VERY
00:17:36.03\00:17:39.96
THRONE OF GOD VIA TWO THINGS.
DID YOU SEE WHAT THEY WERE?
00:17:39.96\00:17:44.40
THROUGH TWO THINGS: THE BLOOD
OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS HIGH
00:17:44.40\00:17:49.70
PRIESTLY MINISTRY. WE
CAN ACCESS THE THRONE OF GOD
00:17:49.70\00:17:52.46
VIA THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND HIS
HIGH PRIESTLY MINISTRY AND THIS
00:17:52.46\00:17:57.06
LEADS TO THESE
THREE EXHORTATIONS.
00:17:57.06\00:18:00.56
'LET US DRAW NEAR' IS THE FIRST
EXHORTATION - THAT'S THERE IN
00:18:00.56\00:18:05.93
VERSE 22 AND THEN VERSE 23, 'LET
US HOLD FAST' AND THEN VERSE 24,
00:18:05.93\00:18:14.43
'LET US CONSIDER ONE ANOTHER
TO PROVOKE UNTO LOVE AND TO GOOD
00:18:14.43\00:18:18.80
WORKS'. AND THESE
THREE COMPRISE THAT
00:18:18.80\00:18:21.33
FAMILIAR TRIAD OF
FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE.
00:18:21.33\00:18:25.60
YOU REMEMBER READING ABOUT THAT
IN 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 13 AND
00:18:25.60\00:18:29.06
VERSE 13 - THAT
GREAT LOVE CHAPTER.
00:18:29.06\00:18:31.46
PAUL SAYS, 'AND NOW
ABIDES' - YOU REMEMBER? -
00:18:31.46\00:18:34.30
'FAITH, HOPE, AND' - THE
KING JAMES SAYS 'CHARITY' BUT -
00:18:34.30\00:18:38.03
'LOVE' - THAT'S RIGHT - 'FAITH,
HOPE AND LOVE, THESE THREE; BUT
00:18:38.03\00:18:40.53
THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE.'
AND SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT
00:18:40.53\00:18:43.03
THESE THREE IMPORTANT ELEMENTS
TO CHRISTIAN LIVING HERE AND
00:18:43.03\00:18:46.60
WE'LL REVIEW THIS
HERE IN OUR LESSON TODAY.
00:18:46.60\00:18:49.90
NOW, WE'RE ONTO SUNDAY'S
LESSON: 'ACCESS TO THE HEAVENLY
00:18:49.90\00:18:54.26
SANCTUARY' - ACCESS TO
THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY.
00:18:54.26\00:19:00.46
I DON'T THINK ANYONE HERE
WOULDN'T CONSIDER IT, PERHAPS, A
00:19:00.46\00:19:04.63
HIGH HONOR IF YOU RECEIVED AN
INVITATION FROM THE PRESIDENT OF
00:19:04.63\00:19:08.83
THE UNITED STATES
OR, IF YOU LIKE ROYALTY,
00:19:08.83\00:19:12.43
THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND.
00:19:12.43\00:19:14.03
YOU WOULDN'T CONSIDER IT - YOU
WOULDN'T NOT CONSIDER IT TO BE A
00:19:14.03\00:19:17.36
HIGH HONOR TO RECEIVE AN
INVITATION - IRRESPECTIVE OF
00:19:17.36\00:19:20.06
YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS IT'S QUITE
- IT'D BE QUITE AN HONOR TO
00:19:20.06\00:19:22.96
RECEIVE A PERSONAL LETTER
FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
00:19:22.96\00:19:25.20
STATES SAYING,
'COME INTO MY PRESENCE'.
00:19:25.20\00:19:28.46
BUT AN INCREDIBLY GREATER OFFER
HAS BEEN OFFERED TO ALL THOSE
00:19:28.46\00:19:32.63
WHO ARE WILLING TO RESPOND.
00:19:32.63\00:19:34.53
WE MAY ENTER IN, THE BIBLE SAYS,
THROUGH THE HOLIEST - THROUGH A
00:19:34.53\00:19:38.36
NEW AND A LIVING WAY
THAT JESUS HAS OPENED FOR US.
00:19:38.36\00:19:42.86
IN THE ANCIENT TABERNACLE - THAT
ANCIENT SANCTUARY - NO ONE BUT A
00:19:42.86\00:19:46.70
PRIEST COULD ENTER THE HOLY
PLACE AND THE MOST HOLY PLACE
00:19:46.70\00:19:50.60
AND THEY COULD - THEY'RE THE
ONLY ONES THAT COULD APPEAR IN
00:19:50.60\00:19:54.50
THE SANCTUARY IN
THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:19:54.50\00:19:56.16
BUT HERE WE'RE
INVITED TO ALL GO IN.
00:19:56.16\00:19:59.56
WE'RE ALL INVITED TO COME IN.
THERE'S A FEW VERSES WE'RE GOING
00:19:59.56\00:20:01.70
TO LOOK AT HERE AND THESE WERE
IN YOUR LESSON STUDY SO LET'S
00:20:01.70\00:20:04.66
LOOK AT THEM. WE'RE
IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 4.
00:20:04.66\00:20:06.13
BY THE WAY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
SOMEONE READ HEBREWS 10:19 TO 22
00:20:06.13\00:20:09.73
- WHO HAS THAT ONE?
HEBREWS 10:19 TO 22 -
00:20:09.73\00:20:13.26
RIGHT HERE - MAN, LOOK AT
THAT, HOW CONVENIENT. WONDERFUL.
00:20:13.26\00:20:15.83
EXCELLENT. HEBREWS
10:19 TO 22 AND MANJEET,
00:20:15.83\00:20:20.50
IF YOU COULD JUST READ THE FIRST
- READ IT, BUT THE FIRST PART OF
00:20:20.50\00:20:23.86
VERSE 22 AS WELL - NOT
THE ENTIRE VERSE OF 22.
00:20:23.86\00:20:26.93
SO HERE WE ARE, HEBREWS 4, VERSE
16 - A FAMILIAR PASSAGE TO US.
00:20:26.93\00:20:33.10
IT S"BOLDLY TO THE THRONE OF
GRACE, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY
00:20:33.10\00:20:39.63
AND FIND GRACE TO
HELP IN TIME OF NEED."
00:20:39.63\00:20:44.13
MAN, ISN'T THAT
A WONDERFUL THING?
00:20:44.13\00:20:45.60
LET US - HERE'S THE INVITATION.
WE CAN COME AND WE'RE NOT JUST
00:20:45.60\00:20:49.23
GOING TO COME, IT
SAYS WE CAN COME BOLDLY.
00:20:49.23\00:20:51.56
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT
IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
00:20:51.56\00:20:53.16
AND WHY DO WE COME TO
GOD'S THRONE OF GRACE?
00:20:53.16\00:20:56.70
YOU NOTICE, RIGHT NOW
IT IS THE THRONE OF GRACE.
00:20:56.70\00:20:59.56
WHY IS IT THE THRONE OF GRACE?
00:20:59.56\00:21:01.63
IT'S THE THRONE OF GRACE BECAUSE
- BECAUSE THE DOOR OF - THE PLAN
00:21:01.63\00:21:05.53
OF SALVATION - THE DOOR OF
SALVATION IS STILL OPEN TO ALL
00:21:05.53\00:21:08.96
WHO WILL COME AND ALL WHO
WILL RECEIVE CHRIST'S OFFER OF
00:21:08.96\00:21:13.20
ETERNAL LIFE, YOU SEE.
THIS IS THE THRONE OF GRACE.
00:21:13.20\00:21:15.76
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN JESUS
COMES BACK, HE'LL BE SITTING ON
00:21:15.76\00:21:18.73
THE THRONE OF HIS -
DO YOU REMEMBER? - GLORY.
00:21:18.73\00:21:21.93
PROBATION WOULD HAVE CLOSED.
00:21:21.93\00:21:23.50
GRACE TO SINNERS
NO LONGER ACCESSIBLE.
00:21:23.50\00:21:27.06
EVERYONE'S MADE THEIR
DECISION ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
00:21:27.06\00:21:29.50
BUT NOW IT'S THE THRONE OF
GRACE AND WE CAN COME AND OBTAIN
00:21:29.50\00:21:32.46
TWO THINGS. WE CAN
OBTAIN MERCY FOR THE
00:21:32.46\00:21:36.16
FORGIVENESS OF SINS AND WE
CAN ALSO FIND GRACE TO DO WHAT?
00:21:36.16\00:21:40.50
HELP IN TIME OF NEED.
DO WE HAVE TIMES OF NEED?
00:21:40.50\00:21:44.70
YEAH, THERE ARE
PLENTY OF TIMES OF NEED.
00:21:44.70\00:21:46.23
WHEN TEMPTATION COMES KNOCKING
AT YOUR DOOR IS THAT A TIME OF
00:21:46.23\00:21:48.60
NEED? SO THAT'S
THE TIME WE CAN COME
00:21:48.60\00:21:50.40
TO THE THRONE OF GRACE
AND PRESS OUR PETITIONS.
00:21:50.40\00:21:53.40
THEN HEBREWS 6, VERSES 19 AND 20
- IT SAYS, "WHICH HOPE WE HAVE
00:21:53.40\00:21:58.20
AS AN ANCHOR OF THE SOUL, BOTH
SURE AND STEADFAST, AND WHICH
00:21:58.20\00:22:04.00
ENTERETH INTO THAT WITHIN THE
VEIL; WHITHER THE FORERUNNER IS
00:22:04.00\00:22:07.40
FOR US ENTERED, EVEN JESUS, MADE
AN HIGH PRIEST FOR EVER AFTER
00:22:07.40\00:22:12.36
THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."
AND SO WE CAN HAVE ACCESS.
00:22:12.36\00:22:17.00
WE CAN COME WITHIN THE VEIL
BECAUSE THE FORERUNNER, JESUS,
00:22:17.00\00:22:20.13
HAS MADE A WAY FOR US.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT HOW WE CAN
00:22:20.13\00:22:22.76
ACCESS THE THRONE OF GOD
HERE IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.
00:22:22.76\00:22:25.53
HEBREWS 10:19
THROUGH 22. THANKS MANJEET.
00:22:25.53\00:22:29.23
>>THEREFORE, BRETHREN, HAVING
BOLDNESS TO ENTER THE HOLIEST BY
00:22:29.23\00:22:36.00
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, BY A NEW AND
LIVING WAY WHICH HE CONSECRATED
00:22:36.00\00:22:42.23
FOR US, THROUGH THE VEIL, THAT
IS, HIS FLESH, AND HAVING A HIGH
00:22:42.23\00:22:49.00
PRIEST OVER THE HOUSE OF
GOD, LET US DRAW NEAR..."
00:22:49.00\00:22:54.73
>>OKAY. PERFECT. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. EXCELLENT.
00:22:54.73\00:22:58.66
SO HERE WE HAVE - WE CAN HAVE
ACCESS - WE CAN ENTER INTO THE
00:22:58.66\00:23:01.90
HOLINESS BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS
AND WE ARE INVITED TO DRAW NEAR.
00:23:01.90\00:23:07.10
HOW CAN WHAT WAS POSSIBLE
TO ONLY A FEW INDIVIDUALS THOSE
00:23:07.10\00:23:10.83
YEARS AGO BE NOW ACCESSIBLE
TO EVERY CHILD OF GOD?
00:23:10.83\00:23:14.16
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?
ACCORDING TO THE VERSE IT SAYS,
00:23:14.16\00:23:16.26
'A NEW AND LIVING WAY HAS
BEEN OPENED UP FOR US AND WE CAN
00:23:16.26\00:23:20.16
ENTER IN' - BY THE
WHAT, FRIENDS? - 'THE BLOOD' -
00:23:20.16\00:23:23.26
THE PRECIOUS
BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:23:23.26\00:23:26.66
A WONDERFUL CONCEPT AND
WONDERFUL IDEA - A WONDERFUL
00:23:26.66\00:23:30.40
THING THAT GOD HAS DONE FOR US.
00:23:30.40\00:23:31.76
IF YOU GO BACK - AND WE'VE
STUDIED THIS THIS QUARTER - YOU
00:23:31.76\00:23:34.30
GO BACK TO THE EARTHLY SANCTUARY
AND YOU REMEMBER THAT WHEN THE
00:23:34.30\00:23:38.66
SINNER CAME - AND LET'S JUST SAY
THAT HE BROUGHT OR SHE BROUGHT A
00:23:38.66\00:23:41.73
LAMB - THEY CAME INTO THE COURT,
THEY LEANED - THEY WEIGHED UPON
00:23:41.73\00:23:46.83
THAT PARTICULAR ANIMAL,
CONFESSING THEIR SINS, THE SIN -
00:23:46.83\00:23:49.93
THE GUILT - WAS TRANSFERRED
FROM THE SINNER TO THE INNOCENT
00:23:49.93\00:23:52.20
VICTIM. NOW,
BECAUSE THEY BORE THE SIN,
00:23:52.20\00:23:54.90
THE ANIMAL MUST DIE. AND
SO THE SINNER TOOK THE LIFE
00:23:54.90\00:23:58.20
OF THAT PARTICULAR ANIMAL
HIMSELF/HERSELF, AND THEN THE
00:23:58.20\00:24:02.40
PRIEST DID
SOMETHING WITH THE BLOOD.
00:24:02.40\00:24:05.06
HE TOOK THE BLOOD AND - DO
YOU REMEMBER WHAT HE DID? -
00:24:05.06\00:24:06.70
HE WENT INTO THE HOLY PLACE OF
THE HEAVENLY - OF THE SANCTUARY
00:24:06.70\00:24:10.80
- I KEEP TALKING ABOUT
THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY -
00:24:10.80\00:24:12.03
WE WILL GET THERE. HE
WENT INTO - THE PRIEST - THE
00:24:12.03\00:24:14.80
PRIEST WENT INTO THE HOLY PLACE
AND WHAT DID HE DO WITH THE
00:24:14.80\00:24:17.26
BLOOD? HE SPRINKLED
THE BLOOD, RIGHT? WHERE?
00:24:17.26\00:24:21.46
RIGHT THERE BEFORE THE VEIL -
THE ALTAR OF INCENSE, YOU SEE.
00:24:21.46\00:24:24.70
ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT THE HIGH
PRIEST - THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD
00:24:24.70\00:24:28.20
GO INTO THE MOST HOLY PLACE ON
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT - HE WOULD
00:24:28.20\00:24:30.60
GO IN WITH THE BLOOD OF THE GOAT
AND THEN HE WOULD GO IN AND WHAT
00:24:30.60\00:24:36.23
WOULD HE DO WITH THE BLOOD?
HE WOULD SPRINKLE THE BLOOD
00:24:36.23\00:24:38.20
WHERE? BEFORE
THE MERCY SEAT, OKAY,
00:24:38.20\00:24:41.66
WHICH WAS ON TOP OF THE ARK
OF THE COVENANT. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:24:41.66\00:24:45.50
WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE THRONE OF
GOD THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
00:24:45.50\00:24:51.53
CHRIST'S BLOOD HAS PAVED THE WAY
FOR US TO HAVE COMPLETE AND FULL
00:24:51.53\00:24:55.33
ACCESS TO GOD RIGHT THERE
IN THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY.
00:24:55.33\00:24:59.23
JESUS PREPARES THE WAY
FOR US AT EVERY SINGLE STEP.
00:24:59.23\00:25:04.36
ON THAT DAY OF ATONEMENT, BY THE
WAY, THE PRIEST WOULD COME OUT
00:25:04.36\00:25:07.30
OF THE MOST HOLY PLACE - HIGH
PRIEST WOULD COME OUT OF THE
00:25:07.30\00:25:09.26
MOST HOLY PLACE AND HE WOULD
TOUCH THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR OF
00:25:09.26\00:25:13.10
INCENSE WITH THE BLOOD.
00:25:13.10\00:25:14.40
HE'D COME OUT AND HE'D TOUCH
THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR OF BURNT
00:25:14.40\00:25:16.66
OFFERINGS OUT THERE IN THE
COURTYARD - BLOOD ALL THE WAY
00:25:16.66\00:25:19.73
THROUGH. THROUGH CHRIST'S BLOOD
WE HAVE FULL AND COMPLETE ACCESS
00:25:19.73\00:25:23.46
TO THE FATHER.
ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL NEWS?
00:25:23.46\00:25:25.80
THIS IS VERY GOOD
NEWS HERE THIS MORNING.
00:25:25.80\00:25:29.00
OKAY, AND SO WHAT WE FIND
IS WE HAVE THE HOPE OF ONE DAY
00:25:29.00\00:25:33.26
BEING REUNITED WITH GOD AT LAST.
00:25:33.26\00:25:36.76
SIN GOT IN THE WAY BACK THERE
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN, IT MESSED
00:25:36.76\00:25:40.00
THINGS UP - MESSED UP GOD'S
PLANS AND THEN JESUS HAS MADE A
00:25:40.00\00:25:44.36
WAY POSSIBLE WHEREBY WE WILL
HAVE A REUNION ONE DAY WITH GOD.
00:25:44.36\00:25:49.30
WE WILL BE IN THE PRESENCE OF
GOD AND WE WILL SEE GOD FACE TO
00:25:49.30\00:25:52.90
FACE. NOW, THE TEXT TELLS US
THAT WE CAN COME IN - IT SAYS
00:25:52.90\00:25:57.33
IN VERSE 19, "HAVING, THEREFORE,
BRETHREN" - WHAT'S THAT WORD? -
00:25:57.33\00:25:59.66
"BOLDNESS." NOW
THAT'S NOT, OF COURSE, THE
00:25:59.66\00:26:02.30
BOLDNESS OF PRESUMPTION, BUT THE
ASSURANCE OF FAITH AS WE PRESENT
00:26:02.30\00:26:05.73
CHRIST'S BLOOD, YOU UNDERSTAND,
AND THE INCENSE OF HIS MERITS.
00:26:05.73\00:26:09.83
AND WE'LL COME BACK TO THIS IDEA
OF BOLDNESS IN JUST A MOMENT.
00:26:09.83\00:26:12.63
AND IT SAYS THERE THAT
"HAVING BOLDNESS TO ENTER IN THE
00:26:12.63\00:26:16.10
HOLINESS BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS,
BY A NEW AND LIVING WAY WHICH HE
00:26:16.10\00:26:19.20
CONSECRATED FOR
US, THROUGH THE VEIL."
00:26:19.20\00:26:22.63
YOU REMEMBER WHEN JESUS DIED,
THE VEIL IN THE TEMPLE WHAT?
00:26:22.63\00:26:25.43
RENT IN TWAIN OR TORE
IN TWO FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
00:26:25.43\00:26:29.30
AND THEY SAY THAT THAT VEIL WAS
ABOUT THE THICKNESS OF A MAN'S
00:26:29.30\00:26:32.23
HAND. AND THAT
SYMBOLIZED A DIVINE ACT
00:26:32.23\00:26:35.46
- BEING TORN FROM THE TOP
TO THE BOTTOM. IN OTHER WORDS,
00:26:35.46\00:26:38.13
IT SIGNIFIED - CHRIST'S DEATH
SIGNIFIED A TRANSITION FROM
00:26:38.13\00:26:41.76
THE EARTHLY SANCTUARY
TO THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY.
00:26:41.76\00:26:45.63
ALSO, A VEIL NEED NO LONGER
STAND BETWEEN GOD AND MAN.
00:26:45.63\00:26:50.83
AND THEN IT SAYS THERE IN VERSE
20, IT SAYS, 'THROUGH THE VEIL,
00:26:50.83\00:26:55.10
THAT IS, TO SAY, HIS FLESH.'
WHEN JESUS CAME - HE CAME NOT
00:26:55.10\00:27:00.70
JUST TO TELL US HOW TO LIVE,
JESUS CAME TO SHOW US HOW TO
00:27:00.70\00:27:05.03
LIVE, DIDN'T HE? JESUS
CAME TO SHOW US HOW TO LIVE.
00:27:05.03\00:27:08.73
IF WE LOOK AT ROMANS CHAPTER
8, VERSES 3 AND 4 - AND YOU CAN
00:27:08.73\00:27:11.43
FEEL FREE TO TURN THERE WITH ME
- ROMANS CHAPTER 8, VERSES 3 AND
00:27:11.43\00:27:14.23
4, WE FIND
SOMETHING INTERESTING HERE.
00:27:14.23\00:27:18.10
ROMANS CHAPTER
8, VERSES 3 AND 4.
00:27:18.10\00:27:20.06
THE BIBLE SAYS, "FOR WHAT THE
LAW COULD NOT DO IN THAT IT WAS
00:27:20.06\00:27:23.36
WEAK THROUGH THE FLESH,
GOD SENDING HIS OWN SON IN THE
00:27:23.36\00:27:27.16
LIKENESS OF SINFUL FLESH, AND
FOR SIN, CONDEMNED SIN IN THE
00:27:27.16\00:27:30.20
FLESH: THAT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
OF THE LAW MIGHT BE FULFILLED IN
00:27:30.20\00:27:33.66
US, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE
FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT.
00:27:33.66\00:27:39.50
AND SO, WHAT JESUS DID HE DID IN
HUMAN FLESH - HE KEPT GOD'S LAW.
00:27:39.50\00:27:45.86
WHAT WE COULDN'T DO IN THAT WE
WERE WEAK, JESUS CAME AND HE DID
00:27:45.86\00:27:49.00
AND NOW HE OFFERS TO US HIS
SPIRIT WHO WILL WRITE THAT LAW
00:27:49.00\00:27:51.93
UPON OUR HEARTS
AND IN OUR MINDS.
00:27:51.93\00:27:55.03
THAT'S THE NEW COVENANT PROMISE.
THAT'S WHAT GOD WANTS TO DO FOR
00:27:55.03\00:27:57.53
EACH ONE OF US, YOU SEE.
WHEN JESUS CAME HE SHOWED US THE
00:27:57.53\00:28:02.33
WAY. JESUS GAINED VICTORY
BY DEPENDING UPON HIS FATHER,
00:28:02.33\00:28:06.13
YOU UNDERSTAND.
REVELATION 3, VERSE 21 - LET ME
00:28:06.13\00:28:09.10
JUST FLIP OVER THERE AND IF YOU
WANT TO JOIN ME YOU'RE WELCOME.
00:28:09.10\00:28:11.70
REVELATION CHAPTER 3, VERSE 21 -
IT SAYS, "TO HIM THAT OVERCOMES"
00:28:11.70\00:28:16.50
- AND THIS IS TO THE CHURCH OF
LAODICEA - REVELATION 3:21 - "TO
00:28:16.50\00:28:19.96
HIM WHO OVERCOMETH WILL I GRANT
TO SIT WITH ME IN MY THRONE,
00:28:19.96\00:28:24.56
EVEN AS I ALSO OVERCAME, AND AM
SET DOWN WITH MY FATHER IN HIS
00:28:24.56\00:28:32.16
THRONE." AND SO
HERE WE READ THAT THE
00:28:32.16\00:28:36.06
PROMISE TO ALL THOSE WHO
OVERCOME - WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO
00:28:36.06\00:28:40.23
SIT WITH - WHAT
DOES IT SAY THERE?
00:28:40.23\00:28:42.33
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SIT THERE -
SIT DOWN WITH HIS - WITH HIM BY
00:28:42.33\00:28:46.63
HIS FATHER, YOU UNDERSTAND.
NOW I SUSPECT THAT GOD HAS NOT -
00:28:46.63\00:28:50.06
OR JESUS AND GOD THE FATHER -
THEY'RE NOT SO MUCH INTERESTED
00:28:50.06\00:28:53.30
IN US - OUR ENTITLEMENT TO
ROYALTY, YOU UNDERSTAND, SITTING
00:28:53.30\00:28:58.26
WITH THEM - SITTING WITH
THEM AT THEIR THRONE - BUT MORE
00:28:58.26\00:29:02.73
INTERESTED IN HAVING US
WITH THEM, YOU UNDERSTAND?
00:29:02.73\00:29:06.26
I MEAN GOD WANTS
TO PLACE US THERE.
00:29:06.26\00:29:08.00
YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF IRONIC,
THIS WHOLE EPISODE OF SINNERS
00:29:08.00\00:29:12.83
BECOMING SAINTS BY THE GRACE OF
GOD AND THEN BEING ABLE TO SIT
00:29:12.83\00:29:16.10
AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE
OF GOD - SIT THERE WITH JESUS.
00:29:16.10\00:29:19.40
ISN'T THAT WHAT THE DEVIL WANTS?
ISN'T THAT WHAT THE DEVIL WANTS?
00:29:19.40\00:29:22.83
HE SAID, 'I WILL BE
LIKE THE MOST HIGH.'
00:29:22.83\00:29:24.36
HE WANTED TO
TAKE THE PLACE OF GOD.
00:29:24.36\00:29:25.66
HE WANTED TO SIT
IN THE THRONE OF GOD.
00:29:25.66\00:29:28.33
BUT IN THE END, THOSE WHO
HAVE EXPRESSED FAITH IN CHRIST -
00:29:28.33\00:29:31.23
THOSE WHO HAVE ACCEPTED CHRIST -
HIS SACRIFICE - AND LEAN HEAVILY
00:29:31.23\00:29:35.00
ON HIM AS HIGH PRIEST IN HEAVEN
- MAN, WONDERFUL THING - WE GET
00:29:35.00\00:29:41.83
TO SIT WITH HIM AT HIS
THRONE. IT'S PHENOMENAL.
00:29:41.83\00:29:47.13
IT IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL
WHAT GOD DOES FOR HUMAN BEINGS.
00:29:47.13\00:29:52.56
SO JESUS, WHEN HE
CAME, HE OVERCAME.
00:29:52.56\00:29:55.33
WHEN HE WAS HERE HE OVERCAME
BY DEPENDING ON HIS FATHER.
00:29:55.33\00:29:57.53
HE DIDN'T CONSULT HIS
FEELINGS, HE JUST SIMPLY LIVED
00:29:57.53\00:30:00.80
BY THE WORD OF GOD.
00:30:00.80\00:30:02.20
NOW WE GET INTO TROUBLE WHEN WE
LIVE BY OUR FEELINGS, DON'T WE?
00:30:02.20\00:30:05.30
WE SOMETIMES PARLAY AND DISCUSS
AND HAVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS WITH
00:30:05.30\00:30:09.60
OUR OWN FEELINGS AND WE - OUR
FEELINGS DECEIVE US MANY TIMES.
00:30:09.60\00:30:13.93
JESUS DIDN'T CONSULT HIS
FEELINGS, HE LIVED BY THE WORD
00:30:13.93\00:30:17.96
OF GOD AND WE ARE
ENCOURAGED TO DO THE SAME.
00:30:17.96\00:30:20.93
HE OVERCAME BY TRUSTING HIS
FATHER AND WE CAN OVERCOME AS WE
00:30:20.93\00:30:23.90
TRUST IN JESUS, AMEN? SURE.
00:30:23.90\00:30:26.46
NOW TO ENTER INTO THE SANCTUARY
THEN - TO ENTER INTO THE
00:30:26.46\00:30:29.53
SANCTUARY - WE ARE INVITED TO
ENTER INTO THE SANCTUARY THEN -
00:30:29.53\00:30:31.93
IS TO UNDERSTAND - IT SIMPLY
MEANS FOR US TO UNDERSTAND THE
00:30:31.93\00:30:34.80
WORK THAT CHRIST IS DOING
IN THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY.
00:30:34.80\00:30:38.50
WE ARE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WORK
HE WAS DOING IN THE HOLY PLACE
00:30:38.50\00:30:40.83
AND TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT WORK HE'S DOING NOW
00:30:40.83\00:30:43.43
IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE.
BY FAITH, YOU SEE, WE ARE TO
00:30:43.43\00:30:46.56
UNDERSTAND HIS WORK AND TO
FOLLOW JESUS BY FAITH THERE IN
00:30:46.56\00:30:52.03
THE MOST HOLY PLACE.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD ONE OF THOSE
00:30:52.03\00:30:55.76
INSTANCES WHERE PEOPLE WERE
TALKING, THINGS WERE GOING ON
00:30:55.76\00:30:59.03
AROUND YOU, BUT YOUR
MIND WAS A MILLION MILES AWAY?
00:30:59.03\00:31:02.50
AND MEN DON'T SAY THAT THAT
HAPPENED TO YOU WHILE YOUR WIVES
00:31:02.50\00:31:04.43
WERE TALKING.
DON'T BE SAYING THAT.
00:31:04.43\00:31:06.56
BUT STUFF IS HAPPENING ALL
AROUND YOU AND YOU JUST - YOU'RE
00:31:06.56\00:31:10.93
NOT PAYING ANY ATTENTION -
WALKING DOWN THE STREET, STUFF
00:31:10.93\00:31:13.33
FLASHING AT YOU FROM THE STORE
WINDOW, CARS BUZZING BY, HORNS
00:31:13.33\00:31:17.23
HONKING, AND YOUR MIND
IS A MILLION MILES AWAY.
00:31:17.23\00:31:20.63
IT CAN BE THE
SAME FOR THE BELIEVER.
00:31:20.63\00:31:23.20
WE HAVE DISTRACTIONS
APLENTY HERE ON PLANET EARTH.
00:31:23.20\00:31:25.63
ISSUES A LOT WE MUST DEAL AND
CONTEND WITH, BUT OUR MINDS CAN
00:31:25.63\00:31:28.76
BE WHERE? CAN BE THERE.
OUR MINDS CAN BE IN HEAVEN.
00:31:28.76\00:31:33.03
OUR MINDS CAN BE
THERE WHERE CHRIST IS
00:31:33.03\00:31:34.80
IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE.
00:31:34.80\00:31:36.30
ISSUES CAN BE HAPPENING ALL
AROUND US, BUT WE ARE FOCUSED -
00:31:36.30\00:31:39.76
OUR MINDS ARE IMAGINING
WHAT CHRIST IS DOING UP THERE.
00:31:39.76\00:31:43.66
THE ANGELS OF GLORY ALL GATHERED
AROUND THE BOOKS AND HIS
00:31:43.66\00:31:48.53
JUDGMENT PROCESS, THE 24 ELDERS,
ENOCH, AND ELIJAH AND MOSES.
00:31:48.53\00:31:53.76
OUR MINDS CAN GRASP - OUR
IMAGINATIONS CAN GRASP THE
00:31:53.76\00:31:57.43
SCENES UP THERE AND
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON.
00:31:57.43\00:32:00.93
THEY SAY THAT - WELL, I
SHOULDN'T SAY 'THEY SAY' BUT
00:32:00.93\00:32:03.76
IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS AS SPACE
SHUTTLES GO - FLY FURTHER AWAY
00:32:03.76\00:32:07.90
FROM THE EARTH AND GET CLOSER TO
THE MOON, THE MOON BECOMES A LOT
00:32:07.90\00:32:11.50
LARGER AND THE EARTH
BECOMES A LOT SMALLER.
00:32:11.50\00:32:15.50
THE QUESTION FOR US IS
WHICH DIRECTION ARE WE HEADING?
00:32:15.50\00:32:18.46
THAT'S THE QUESTION.
WHICH DIRECTION ARE WE TENDING?
00:32:18.46\00:32:20.53
ARE WE TENDING MORE TOWARDS
HEAVEN AND THINGS OF THIS EARTH
00:32:20.53\00:32:23.50
ARE GROWING STRANGELY DIM IN THE
LIGHT OF HIS GLORY AND GRACE, OR
00:32:23.50\00:32:27.50
DO ISSUES AND PROBLEMS LOOM
LARGE HERE ON PLANET EARTH AND
00:32:27.50\00:32:31.16
IT'S VERY DIM UP THERE IN
HEAVEN WHAT JESUS IS DOING.
00:32:31.16\00:32:34.60
WHAT DIRECTION ARE WE GOING?
WHERE IS OUR FOCUS AND WHAT ARE
00:32:34.60\00:32:39.46
WE LOOKING AT?
THANK THE LORD WE CAN HAVE
00:32:39.46\00:32:43.40
DIRECT ACCESS TO GOD BY FAITH
IN JESUS CHRIST, AMEN? SURE.
00:32:43.40\00:32:50.86
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO
OVER TO MONDAY'S LESSON.
00:32:50.86\00:32:52.33
WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE
BIT HERE ABOUT THIS ADMONITION -
00:32:52.33\00:32:55.40
THIS EXHORTATION - THIS ADVICE
THAT PAUL IS URGING UPON US.
00:32:55.40\00:33:01.06
ALRIGHT, SO WHAT ARE THE FOUR
CONDITIONS FOR APPROACHING GOD
00:33:01.06\00:33:04.16
IN THE SANCTUARY? HERE
ARE SOME OF THE - HERE'S
00:33:04.16\00:33:07.23
THE FIRST PART: HEBREWS CHAPTER
10 AND VERSE 22 - BACK THERE IN
00:33:07.23\00:33:13.00
HEBREWS - HEBREWS 10, VERSE 22
- THE FIRST THING IT SAYS HERE -
00:33:13.00\00:33:16.33
WELL, LET'S READ THE WHOLE TEXT.
IT SAYS, "LET US DRAW NEAR WITH
00:33:16.33\00:33:19.63
A TRUE HEART IN FULL ASSURANCE
OF FAITH, HAVING OUR HEARTS
00:33:19.63\00:33:23.76
SPRINKLED FROM AN EVIL
CONSCIENCE, AND OUR BODIES
00:33:23.76\00:33:26.70
WASHED WITH PURE WATER."
DID YOU SEE THE FOUR THERE?
00:33:26.70\00:33:29.10
THE FOUR ARE: DRAW NEAR WITH
A TRUE HEART - IN FULL ASSURANCE
00:33:29.10\00:33:32.96
OF FAITH, #2 - HAVING OUR
HEARTS SPRINKLED FROM AN EVIL
00:33:32.96\00:33:35.13
CONSCIENCE, #3 - AND OUR
BODIES WASHED WITH WATER, #4.
00:33:35.13\00:33:38.76
LET'S TALK ABOUT THESE
FOR JUST A FEW MOMENTS.
00:33:38.76\00:33:40.63
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO DRAW NEAR?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO DRAW NEAR?
00:33:40.63\00:33:44.36
NOW YOU REMEMBER ON THAT GREAT
DAY OF ATONEMENT, AS AARON WENT
00:33:44.36\00:33:48.93
INTO THE TABERNACLE AND HE WENT
INTO THE MOST HOLY PLACE ON THE
00:33:48.93\00:33:53.63
DAY OF ATONEMENT, PEOPLE WOULD
GATHER AROUND, THE SCRIPTURES
00:33:53.63\00:33:57.10
TELL US - PEOPLE WERE TO
DRAW NEAR BECAUSE THEY WERE
00:33:57.10\00:34:00.93
INTERESTED IN WHAT WAS HAPPENING
IN THE TABERNACLE - IN THE
00:34:00.93\00:34:04.26
SANCTUARY ON
THAT PARTICULAR DAY.
00:34:04.26\00:34:06.23
WHEN WE WATCH THEM - WHEN WE
LOOK AT HOW THEY APPROACHED AND
00:34:06.23\00:34:09.73
HOW THEY DREW NEAR AND WHAT THEY
DID, WE CAN LEARN OURSELVES AS
00:34:09.73\00:34:13.46
TO HOW TO DRAW NEAR ALSO.
LEVITICUS CHAPTER 16 AND VERSE
00:34:13.46\00:34:19.90
29 GIVES US A COUPLE OF IDEAS AS
TO WHAT THEY DID ON THAT DAY OF
00:34:19.90\00:34:25.83
ATONEMENT WHEN
JUDGMENT WAS TAKING PLACE.
00:34:25.83\00:34:28.00
YOU UNDERSTAND - AND WE'VE
STUDIED THIS - THIS WAS A GREAT
00:34:28.00\00:34:30.16
DAY WHERE SINS WERE TO BE
BLOTTED OUT AND IF YOU HADN'T
00:34:30.16\00:34:33.06
CONFESSED YOUR SINS AND THEY
WEREN'T IN THE SANCTUARY, YOU'D
00:34:33.06\00:34:35.30
BE CUT OFF - OUT OF ISRAEL, YOU
UNDERSTAND, ON THAT PARTICULAR
00:34:35.30\00:34:38.56
DAY IF YOU HAD NOT EXPRESSED
FAITH IN THE COMING MESSIAH BY
00:34:38.56\00:34:43.46
OFFERING UP YOUR SACRIFICES AND
CONFESSED AND FORSAKEN YOUR SIN.
00:34:43.46\00:34:48.00
AND SO HERE LEVITICUS CHAPTER
16 - THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT DAY.
00:34:48.00\00:34:50.86
AND CHAPTER 16 IN
LEVITICUS TELLS YOU A LOT ABOUT
00:34:50.86\00:34:54.03
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
00:34:54.03\00:34:55.36
VERSE 29 - IT SAYS, "AND THIS
SHALL BE A STATUTE FOR EVER UNTO
00:34:55.36\00:34:59.20
YOU: THAT IN THE SEVENTH MONTH,
ON THE TENTH DAY" - THAT'S WHEN
00:34:59.20\00:35:02.56
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT TOOK PLACE
- "YE SHALL AFFLICT YOUR SOULS,
00:35:02.56\00:35:07.16
AND DO NO WORK AT ALL, WHETHER
IT BE ONE OF YOUR OWN COUNTRY,
00:35:07.16\00:35:11.46
OR A STRANGER THAT SOJOURNETH
AMONG YOU:" NOW JUMP OVER TO
00:35:11.46\00:35:15.36
CHAPTER 23 OF LEVITICUS -
LEVITICUS CHAPTER 23 AND WE'RE
00:35:15.36\00:35:20.10
LOOKING AT VERSE 27 - LEVITICUS
CHAPTER 23 AND VERSE 27.
00:35:20.10\00:35:25.70
IT'S GOING TO GIVE US A LITTLE
BIT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW
00:35:25.70\00:35:28.46
THE PEOPLE - WHAT THE
PEOPLE WERE DOING ON THE DAY OF
00:35:28.46\00:35:30.33
ATONEMENT AS THEY WERE TO DRAW
NEAR TO THE SANCTUARY - SHOWING
00:35:30.33\00:35:33.43
INTEREST IN WHAT
WAS HAPPENING IN THERE.
00:35:33.43\00:35:35.66
LEVITICUS
CHAPTER 23 AND VERSE 27.
00:35:35.66\00:35:39.90
IT SAYS, "ALSO ON THE TENTH
DAY OF THIS SEVENTH MONTH THERE
00:35:39.90\00:35:43.70
SHALL BE A DAY OF ATONEMENT:
IT SHALL BE AN HOLY CONVOCATION
00:35:43.70\00:35:47.16
UNTO YOU; AND YE SHALL
AFFLICT YOUR SOULS, AND OFFER AN
00:35:47.16\00:35:50.46
OFFERING MADE BY
FIRE UNTO THE LORD."
00:35:50.46\00:35:55.20
AND SO HERE ARE SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT THEY DID ON THE DAY
00:35:55.20\00:35:58.70
OF ATONEMENT AND
WE'RE ENCOURAGED TO DO.
00:35:58.70\00:36:00.60
FIRST OF ALL, THEY WERE TO
AFFLICT THEIR SOULS AND OFFER UP
00:36:00.60\00:36:03.43
A SACRIFICE AND THAT JUST SIMPLY
REFERS TO HAVING HUMILIATION
00:36:03.43\00:36:07.50
OVER SIN AND DEPEND - HAVING
A GREAT - RECOGNIZING OUR GREAT
00:36:07.50\00:36:12.93
NEED AND DEPENDENCE UPON THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS CHRIST,
00:36:12.93\00:36:17.46
YOU UNDERSTAND.
THAT'S ALL IT MEANS.
00:36:17.46\00:36:19.26
IT MEANS HAVING HUMILIATION OVER
OUR SINS AND SENSING OUR GREAT
00:36:19.26\00:36:22.80
NEED WHILE CLINGING ONTO
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS.
00:36:22.80\00:36:25.93
YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK THERE
WILL EVER BE A TIME WHEN WE WALK
00:36:25.93\00:36:28.80
THROUGH THIS WORLD,
WHERE WE'LL EVER FEEL SECURE -
00:36:28.80\00:36:33.23
WE SHOULD EVER FEEL
SECURE IN OURSELVES.
00:36:33.23\00:36:36.56
BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FEELING
SECURE IN YOURSELF AND FEELING
00:36:36.56\00:36:40.56
SECURE IN JESUS
CHRIST, YOU UNDERSTAND.
00:36:40.56\00:36:43.76
THERE WILL NEVER BE A TIME -
WE SHOULDN'T EVER FEEL SECURE IN
00:36:43.76\00:36:45.80
OURSELVES. THERE'LL
NEVER BE A TIME WHEN WE
00:36:45.80\00:36:47.43
SAY, 'LOOK, I'M DONE. NO
MORE STRUGGLING. I'M SAVED.
00:36:47.43\00:36:49.66
THERE'S NOTHING MORE
TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT.'
00:36:49.66\00:36:51.96
THERE WILL NEVER BE A
TIME WHERE WE'LL SAY THAT.
00:36:51.96\00:36:54.43
WE HAVE ONE BUSINESS TODAY AND
THAT BUSINESS IS TO MAKE AN END
00:36:54.43\00:36:57.36
OF SIN BY THE
GRACE OF GOD, AMEN?
00:36:57.36\00:36:59.40
THAT'S THE WORK THAT JESUS IS
DOING IN THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY.
00:36:59.40\00:37:03.13
AND THEN IT SAYS
THEY WERE TO DO NO WORK.
00:37:03.13\00:37:05.80
THEY WERE TO DO NO WORK.
AND SOMEONE SAYS, 'WELL, PASTOR
00:37:05.80\00:37:08.33
CHRIS, WE'RE LIVING HERE IN
THIS GREAT ANTITYPICAL DAY OF
00:37:08.33\00:37:10.40
ATONEMENT AND YOU'RE TELLING
ME THAT WE SHOULD JUST KIND OF
00:37:10.40\00:37:12.90
RESIGN - THROW IN THE TOWEL -
TURN IN OUR HOURS AND THAT'S IT?
00:37:12.90\00:37:17.06
NO. NOW GOD MADE PROVISION - AND
THIS IS A WONDERFUL SPIRITUAL
00:37:17.06\00:37:20.83
LESSON FOR US. GOD
MADE PROVISION ON THE DAY OF
00:37:20.83\00:37:23.16
ATONEMENT BACK THEN
FOR FOLK TO DO NO WORK.
00:37:23.16\00:37:26.06
IN OTHER WORDS, THERE
WAS TO BE NO DISTRACTIONS.
00:37:26.06\00:37:29.06
THERE WERE TO
BE NO DISTRACTIONS.
00:37:29.06\00:37:30.63
THE LESSON FOR US IS TO
SEEK TO REMOVE SOME OF THOSE
00:37:30.63\00:37:33.80
DISTRACTIONS FROM OUR LIVES, BY
GOD'S GRACE, THAT HINDER US FROM
00:37:33.80\00:37:37.30
SPENDING TIME LOOKING AT WHAT
CHRIST IS DOING IN THE HEAVENLY
00:37:37.30\00:37:40.73
SANCTUARY - SPENDING TIME IN
HIS WORD, YOU SEE. MATTHEW 6:33
00:37:40.73\00:37:44.03
SAYS, "SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM
OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS;
00:37:44.03\00:37:47.66
AND ALL THESE THINGS
SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU."
00:37:47.66\00:37:49.56
SOMETIMES WE GET
THAT TURNED AROUND.
00:37:49.56\00:37:51.30
I'M GOING TO SEEK ALL THESE
THINGS FIRST AND THEN WHEN I
00:37:51.30\00:37:53.60
HAVE TIME I'LL SEEK GOD.
IF YOU'RE LIVING THAT WAY - IF
00:37:53.60\00:37:57.33
YOU PLAN TO WORK THAT
WAY - YOU'RE JUST GOING TO BE
00:37:57.33\00:37:59.33
FRUSTRATED AND
UPSET AND THINGS ARE NOT
00:37:59.33\00:38:01.16
GOING TO GO REALLY THE WAY
YOU THINK THEY OUGHT TO GO.
00:38:01.16\00:38:08.63
BTHEN ALL THESE THINGS WILL
BES ADDED UNTO YOU AND ALL THOSE
00:38:08.63\00:38:11.30
THINGS HE REFERS TO IN THE
PREVIOUS VERSES IS CLOTHING, A
00:38:11.30\00:38:15.16
ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD,
AND FOOD FOR YOUR BELLIES.
00:38:15.16\00:38:18.33
EVERYTHING ELSE IS AN
EXTRA BONUS. AND SO THOSE THINGS
00:38:18.33\00:38:22.93
GOD PROVIDES FOR HIS PEOPLE.
AND SO WE'RE TO PUT GOD FIRST.
00:38:22.93\00:38:26.70
AND THE THIRD THING IT
SAYS IS WE ARE TO FAST.
00:38:26.70\00:38:29.30
THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS - THEY WERE
TO FAST THAT PARTICULAR DAY.
00:38:29.30\00:38:32.30
YOU KNOW IT MAY ACTUALLY REQUIRE
SOME OF US A LITTLE MORE SELF-
00:38:32.30\00:38:35.40
DENIAL TO EAT JUST PROPER FOOD
AT THE PROPER TIMES THAN TO FAST
00:38:35.40\00:38:38.63
FOR A 24-HOUR PERIOD OF TIME.
YEAH, IT MIGHT JUST DO THAT.
00:38:38.63\00:38:42.70
THE SOUL NEEDS TO BE NOURISHED
AS WELL. PERHAPS HAVING A FAST
00:38:42.70\00:38:45.80
FROM TV AND CERTAIN
MAGAZINES AND DIFFERENT THINGS.
00:38:45.80\00:38:48.53
MORE TIME WITH THEM MEANS LESS
TIME WITH JESUS AND SO WE HAVE
00:38:48.53\00:38:54.36
TO ASK THE QUESTION: 'HOW
DO YOU FIND PERSONAL TIME?'
00:38:54.36\00:38:57.00
WELL, WHEN YOU TITHE YOU
DON'T TITHE WHAT'S LEFT, RIGHT?
00:38:57.00\00:38:59.96
YOU GET YOUR PAYCHECK - YOU GET
YOUR MONEY - AND YOU TITHE FROM
00:38:59.96\00:39:02.20
WHAT? THE TOP. DO THE
SAME THING WITH GOD WITH
00:39:02.20\00:39:06.20
TIME - TITHE FROM THE TOP AND
GIVE HIM THE BEST AND THE FIRST,
00:39:06.20\00:39:10.80
YOU UNDERSTAND.
SPEND TIME WITH HIM IN THE
00:39:10.80\00:39:13.56
MORNING, FIRST THING - TIME
IN PRAYER STUDYING HIS WORD.
00:39:13.56\00:39:16.66
AND SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE
THINGS THEY DID - THE CHILDREN
00:39:16.66\00:39:20.23
OF ISRAEL DID AS AARON
WENT INTO THAT - WENT INTO
00:39:20.23\00:39:23.13
THE MOST HOLY PLACE
ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
00:39:23.13\00:39:25.30
THEY WERE TO DRAW NEAR WITH
A TRUE HEART OR JUST SIMPLY A
00:39:25.30\00:39:29.13
DEDICATED HEART - A SINCERE
HEART - WITHOUT HYPOCRISY AND
00:39:29.13\00:39:33.16
WITHOUT ANY
RESERVATION - A SINCERE HEART.
00:39:33.16\00:39:36.93
THE BIBLE SAYS IN OTHER PLACES
- IT REFERS TO THE HEART BEING
00:39:36.93\00:39:40.20
PERFECT -
HAVING A PERFECT HEART.
00:39:40.20\00:39:42.30
THAT JUST SIMPLY MEANS A HEART
THAT IS CONSECRATED ENTIRELY TO
00:39:42.30\00:39:45.33
GOD. IT DOESN'T
MEAN THE LIFE MAY BE
00:39:45.33\00:39:47.36
PERFECTLY FLAWLESS -
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT.
00:39:47.36\00:39:49.93
IT JUST MEANS THAT YOU'RE
HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
00:39:49.93\00:39:52.30
AND YOU HAVE EVERY INTENTION TO
DO GOD'S WILL BY HIS GRACE AND
00:39:52.30\00:39:55.90
THROUGH THE POWER
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:39:55.90\00:39:57.56
AND THEN IT SAYS THAT WE ARE, IN
THAT VERSE - LET ME GO BACK TO
00:39:57.56\00:40:00.86
HEBREWS CHAPTER 10, VERSE 22,
"DRAW NEAR WITH A TRUE HEART" -
00:40:00.86\00:40:04.60
THAT'S #1. #2 -
"IN FULL ASSURANCE OF
00:40:04.60\00:40:07.80
FAITH" - WITHOUT FAITH IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD - ISN'T
00:40:07.80\00:40:12.63
THAT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS? IT
SAYS THAT RIGHT OVER THERE IN
00:40:12.63\00:40:14.66
HEBREWS CHAPTER 11. WE
MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS AND A
00:40:14.66\00:40:17.93
REWARDER OF THEM
THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.
00:40:17.93\00:40:21.70
WE MUST COME WITH
FULL ASSURANCE OF FAITH.
00:40:21.70\00:40:24.56
YOU KNOW, AS PARENTS, IF OUR
CHILDREN EVER DOUBTED OUR WORD
00:40:24.56\00:40:31.33
OR OUR PROMISES - YOU KNOW, AS
A PARENT, YOU KIND OF KNOW WHAT
00:40:31.33\00:40:34.56
THAT FEELS LIKE WHEN THEY COME
TO YOU AND SAY, 'DAD, MOM, ARE
00:40:34.56\00:40:38.13
YOU SURE? YOU SURE THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO DO TODAY?' - OR
00:40:38.13\00:40:41.90
'YOU SURE THAT THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE - YOU SURE?'
00:40:41.90\00:40:45.13
CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW THE FATHER
- THE HEAVENLY FATHER MUST FEEL
00:40:45.13\00:40:48.00
WHEN WE COME TO HIM SAYING, 'YOU
KNOW WHAT? GOD, I'M NOT SO SURE.
00:40:48.00\00:40:50.96
I MEAN, YOU'RE SAYING IT
HERE BUT I'M NOT SO SURE.'
00:40:50.96\00:40:54.20
DO YOU THINK IT MIGHT HURT HIS
HEART A LITTLE BIT TO REALIZE
00:40:54.20\00:40:57.00
HIS EARTHLY
CHILDREN DOUBT HIS PROMISES?
00:40:57.00\00:41:03.33
DASSURANCE OF FAITH.?
AND FAITH IS SIMPLY JUST
00:41:03.33\00:41:05.70
BELIEVING WHAT GOD
SAYS. THAT'S ALL IT IS.
00:41:05.70\00:41:07.90
THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE
EASIEST DEFINITIONS OUT THERE.
00:41:07.90\00:41:10.76
BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS. IF
GOD SAYS HE CAN CLEANSE YOUR
00:41:10.76\00:41:13.40
HEART FROM SIN,
GUESS WHAT HE CAN DO?
00:41:13.40\00:41:15.20
HE CAN CLEANSE
YOUR HEART FROM SIN.
00:41:15.20\00:41:17.03
IF HE SAYS THAT HE CAN IMPART
GRACE TO YOU TO LIVE ABOVE SIN,
00:41:17.03\00:41:20.53
GUESS WHAT THAT MEANS. IT
MEANS HE CAN IMPART GRACE SO
00:41:20.53\00:41:23.60
THAT YOU CAN LIVE
ABOVE SIN, YOU SEE.
00:41:23.60\00:41:26.40
FAITH ACCEPTS THAT.
DOUBT AND UNBELIEF JUST SIMPLY
00:41:26.40\00:41:29.36
ROB A PERSON OF THE CAPACITY TO
ACCEPT WHAT JESUS PROMISES TO DO
00:41:29.36\00:41:34.96
FOR YOU AND ME.
THAT'S WHAT IT DOES - IT JUST
00:41:34.96\00:41:37.03
ROBS US OF THE CAPACITY
TO APPLY JESUS' SAVING GRACE.
00:41:37.03\00:41:40.90
OKAY, THAT'S #2. #3 -
WE'RE TO COME WITH HEARTS
00:41:40.90\00:41:44.93
SPRINKLED FROM
AN EVIL CONSCIENCE.
00:41:44.93\00:41:47.60
WHAT IS THE CONSCIENCE?
00:41:47.60\00:41:48.93
THE CONSCIENCE IS THAT
QUIET VOICE THAT SPEAKS TO YOU.
00:41:48.93\00:41:51.80
NO, IT'S NOT PINOCCHIO'S JIMINY
THE CRICKET OR ANOTHER YOU.
00:41:51.80\00:41:56.06
THE CONSCIENCE IS THE AVENUE BY
WHICH GOD SEEKS TO SPEAK TO YOU.
00:41:56.06\00:42:00.23
NOW YOUR CONSCIENCE - WHAT YOUR
CONSCIENCE SAYS DEPENDS ON WHO'S
00:42:00.23\00:42:04.26
PLAYING IT, YOU
UNDERSTAND - OR PLAYING ON IT.
00:42:04.26\00:42:07.16
IT DEPENDS ON - IF SOMEONE HAS A
GUITAR IN THEIR HANDS, WHAT TYPE
00:42:07.16\00:42:10.90
OF MUSIC IS PLAYED DEPENDS
ON WHO IS PLAYING, CORRECT?
00:42:10.90\00:42:15.03
- WHO'S PLAYING THAT GUITAR.
WHAT YOU HEAR FROM THE GUITAR
00:42:15.03\00:42:18.80
DEPENDS ON WHO'S
STRUMMING THE CHORDS.
00:42:18.80\00:42:21.30
IF SATAN IS PLAYING ON THE
CHORDS OF YOUR CONSCIENCE HE MAY
00:42:21.30\00:42:24.76
GIVE YOU AN EASY TIME
WHEN YOU SHOULD BE, ACTUALLY,
00:42:24.76\00:42:27.10
HAVING A HARD TIME.
00:42:27.10\00:42:28.40
OR HE MAY HOUND YOU AND WORRY
YOU WHEN YOU SHOULD JUST BE
00:42:28.40\00:42:31.60
EXPERIENCING HAPPINESS
AND FREEDOM IN JESUS CHRIST.
00:42:31.60\00:42:34.80
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
CAN - OUR CONSCIENCES ARE TRULY
00:42:34.80\00:42:38.53
GUILT FREE AND THAT CAN ONLY BE
DONE AS THEY'RE SPRINKLED WITH
00:42:38.53\00:42:43.43
THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
NOTHING ELSE WILL WORK.
00:42:43.43\00:42:46.16
THE BLOOD WAS SPRINKLED IN THE
HOLY PLACE FOR THE FORGIVENESS
00:42:46.16\00:42:49.80
AND THE COVERING OF SIN AND ONCE
A YEAR IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE
00:42:49.80\00:42:53.13
FOR THE BLOTTING OUT OF SIN.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT A FEW
00:42:53.13\00:42:55.83
VERSES HERE: HEBREWS 11,
VERSE 28 - JUST SO WE CAN TRY TO
00:42:55.83\00:42:59.00
UNDERSTAND THIS A LITTLE BIT
- HEBREWS CHAPTER 11, VERSE 28.
00:42:59.00\00:43:02.90
ALRIGHT, IT SAYS, "BY FAITH
HE" - THAT IS, MOSES - "KEPT THE
00:43:02.90\00:43:07.46
PASSOVER AND" - WHAT'S THAT
PHRASE? - "THE SPRINKLING OF
00:43:07.46\00:43:11.76
BLOOD, LEST HE WHO DESTROYED THE
FIRSTBORN SHOULD TOUCH THEM."
00:43:11.76\00:43:16.93
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
ON THAT PARTICULAR NIGHT?
00:43:16.93\00:43:19.03
THEY WERE TOLD TO TAKE THE BLOOD
OF THE ANIMAL AND THEY WERE TO
00:43:19.03\00:43:21.46
PUT IT ON THE LINTELS -
DOORPOSTS - OF THE DOOR - AND
00:43:21.46\00:43:24.10
THEY WERE TO
SPRINKLE THE BLOOD UP THERE.
00:43:24.10\00:43:25.96
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY
WERE TO APPLY THE BLOOD.
00:43:25.96\00:43:29.23
THE SPRINKLING OF THE
BLOOD OF JESUS MUST BE APPLIED
00:43:29.23\00:43:32.70
OR IT'S OF NO USE WHATSOEVER.
00:43:32.70\00:43:35.93
HEBREWS CHAPTER 12, VERSES
22 TO 24 - NOTICE THIS - HEBREWS
00:43:35.93\00:43:39.46
12:22-24 - IT SAYS, "BUT YOU
HAVE COME TO MOUNT ZION AND TO
00:43:39.46\00:43:44.46
THE CITY OF THE LIVING GOD,
THE HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, TO AN
00:43:44.46\00:43:47.50
INNUMERABLE COMPANY OF ANGELS,
TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND
00:43:47.50\00:43:50.30
CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN WHO ARE
REGISTERED IN HEAVEN, TO GOD THE
00:43:50.30\00:43:54.06
JUDGE OF ALL, TO THE SPIRITS OF
JUST MEN MADE PERFECT, TO JESUS
00:43:54.06\00:43:57.93
THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW
COVENANT, AND TO THE BLOOD OF
00:43:57.93\00:44:02.90
SPRINKLING" - THERE IT IS AGAIN
- "THAT SPEAKS BETTER THINGS
00:44:02.90\00:44:05.16
THAN THAT OF ABEL." SO
UNDERSTAND THAT THE WRITER
00:44:05.16\00:44:09.30
HERE IS SIMPLY WRITING
FIGURATIVELY OF CHRISTIANS
00:44:09.30\00:44:12.23
TODAY WHO ARE BEING ASSEMBLED
BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD - AND
00:44:12.23\00:44:16.43
HOW IS IT THAT WE CAN BE
ASSEMBLED BEFORE THE THRONE OF
00:44:16.43\00:44:18.40
GOD? HOW IS IT POSSIBLE? I
TOLD YOU THAT WE WERE GOING TO
00:44:18.40\00:44:21.70
COME TO IT IN JUST A
MOMENT AND HERE WE ARE.
00:44:21.70\00:44:23.56
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE
CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THE THRONE OF
00:44:23.56\00:44:25.76
GOD? OF COURSE, YES,
THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
00:44:25.76\00:44:28.16
YES, THROUGH HIS
HIGH PRIESTLY MINISTRY.
00:44:28.16\00:44:30.46
BUT HOW CAN WE COME INTO THE
PRESENCE OF GOD? THROUGH PRAYER.
00:44:30.46\00:44:35.53
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT AND THAT'S
WHAT HE'S REFERRING TO HERE.
00:44:35.53\00:44:38.30
WE CAN COME INTO - PRESS
INTO THE VERY THRONE ROOM OF GOD
00:44:38.30\00:44:41.90
THROUGH PRAYER.
NOTHING TO HINDER US - I MEAN,
00:44:41.90\00:44:45.23
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU TALK TO GOD
IN PRAYER YOU DON'T HAVE TO -
00:44:45.23\00:44:47.83
YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO BE PUT ON HOLD.
00:44:47.83\00:44:50.30
THERE'S NO ONE THAT'S GOING TO
- YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE SOME
00:44:50.30\00:44:53.23
AUTOMATED MESSAGE TELL
YOU TO PRESS 1 OR PRESS 2.
00:44:53.23\00:44:56.06
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE - NO
SECRETARY IS GOING TO GET IN THE
00:44:56.06\00:44:59.86
WAY FOR YOU TO APPROACH GOD.
YOU CAN COME INTO HIS PRESENCE,
00:44:59.86\00:45:04.43
YOU SEE, IT SAYS HERE, 'THROUGH
PRAYER BEFORE JESUS THE MEDIATOR
00:45:04.43\00:45:07.93
OF THE NEW COVENANT AND
THE BLOOD OF SPRINKLING' -
00:45:07.93\00:45:10.26
NOW NOTICE - 'THE BLOOD OF
SPRINKLING SPEAKS BETTER THINGS
00:45:10.26\00:45:12.83
THAN THE BLOOD OF ABEL.'
CAN BLOOD SPEAK? APPARENTLY SO.
00:45:12.83\00:45:17.46
YOU REMEMBER THAT GOD
SAID TO CAIN, 'THE VOICE OF THY
00:45:17.46\00:45:20.26
BROTHER'S BLOOD CRIES
UNTO ME FROM THE GROUND.'
00:45:20.26\00:45:22.30
ABEL'S BLOOD CRIED
FOR WHAT? VENGEANCE.
00:45:22.30\00:45:25.13
IT CRIED FOR VENGEANCE. BUT
ACCORDING TO HEBREWS, JESUS'
00:45:25.13\00:45:28.23
BLOOD SPEAKS BETTER THINGS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK JESUS' BLOOD
00:45:28.23\00:45:30.23
SPEAKS? MERCY.
JESUS' BLOOD SPEAKS MERCY.
00:45:30.23\00:45:35.46
THE DOUBLE - THE SPRINKLING
BLOOD HAS A DOUBLE MESSAGE.
00:45:35.46\00:45:38.70
FIRST, IT REVEALS TO
US SINS ARE TERRIBLENESS.
00:45:38.70\00:45:42.96
WHEN WE SPEND JUST A - WHEN WE
SPEND TIME LOOKING AT THE CROSS,
00:45:42.96\00:45:46.80
WE SEE OUR WONDERFUL SAVIOR
UP THERE ON CALVARY, THE BLOOD
00:45:46.80\00:45:50.60
DRIPPING FROM HIS BROW AND HIS
HANDS AND HIS SIDE AND HIS FEET.
00:45:50.60\00:45:54.33
IT SPEAKS TO US OF THE
HORRIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN.
00:45:54.33\00:45:58.26
SECONDLY, IT SPEAKS TO US OF THE
WONDERFUL - IT SPEAKS TO US OF
00:45:58.26\00:46:02.76
THE WONDERFUL LOVE OF GOD.
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE CROSS IT
00:46:02.76\00:46:07.03
SPEAKS TO US OF JESUS' TERRIFIC
AND MAGNIFICENT LOVE FOR SINNERS
00:46:07.03\00:46:11.63
LIKE YOU AND ME. THAT'S
THE THIRD THING - THAT'S
00:46:11.63\00:46:15.23
THE THIRD CONDITION FOR
COMING INTO THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:46:15.23\00:46:17.40
#4 - BODIES WASHED IN
WATER - THAT'S BAPTISM.
00:46:17.40\00:46:21.26
BAPTISM, OF COURSE, SIMPLY
PROCLAIMS TO ALL WITNESSES THE
00:46:21.26\00:46:24.73
INTENTION OF THE PERSON TO
ENTER INTO THE PRIVILEGES AND TO
00:46:24.73\00:46:28.33
ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHILD OF
00:46:28.33\00:46:31.13
GOD - THAT'S BAPTISM.
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO TO TUESDAY AS
00:46:31.13\00:46:33.63
WE TRY TO MOVE ALONG AND
SEE IF WE CAN'T FINISH HERE.
00:46:33.63\00:46:37.96
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
ARE AFRAID OF APPROACHING GOD.
00:46:37.96\00:46:40.33
SOME REASONS MAY BE THAT THEY
FEEL THEY'RE TOO - THEY'VE DONE
00:46:40.33\00:46:43.46
TOO MANY BAD THINGS OR DONE
TOO MANY THINGS THAT GOD CAN'T
00:46:43.46\00:46:46.03
FORGIVE, BUT THAT
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE WAY.
00:46:46.03\00:46:48.60
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.
HEBREWS CHAPTER 10, VERSES 19
00:46:48.60\00:46:52.43
AND 20 TELL US THAT WE
CAN COME WITH BOLDNESS.
00:46:52.43\00:46:54.90
WE'VE BEEN READING THESE VERSES
- 'HAVING THEREFORE, BRETHREN' -
00:46:54.90\00:46:56.96
WHAT'S THAT WORD?
'BOLDNESS TO ENTER INTO THE
00:46:56.96\00:47:00.26
HOLINESS BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.'
AND THEN IN VERSE 22, "LET US
00:47:00.26\00:47:03.26
DRAW NEAR WITH A TRUE HEART
IN FULL ASSURANCE OF FAITH.
00:47:03.26\00:47:09.03
NOW BOLDNESS IS THAT WORD FROM
THE GREEK PARRHESIA AND WE CAN
00:47:09.03\00:47:14.66
EXTRACT SEVERAL ENGLISH
WORDS FROM THAT: OUTSPOKENNESS,
00:47:14.66\00:47:18.13
FRANKNESS, PLAINNESS OF
SPEECH, COURAGE, CONFIDENCE,
00:47:18.13\00:47:23.76
AND FEARLESSNESS.
00:47:23.76\00:47:25.50
SO WE ARE ENCOURAGED TO
COME BOLDLY WITH COURAGE, WITH
00:47:25.50\00:47:29.63
CONFIDENCE, WITH FEARLESSNESS
INTO THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:47:29.63\00:47:32.90
IF A PERSON - I MEAN, YOU KNOW -
YOU KNOW - AND WE'RE AS HUMAN AS
00:47:32.90\00:47:36.90
THE NEXT PERSON - THE
PERSON SITTING NEXT TO US.
00:47:36.90\00:47:39.86
YOU DO SOMETHING, YOU KNOW
YOU'VE SINNED, AND YOU'RE JUST
00:47:39.86\00:47:42.50
SO RELUCTANT -
WILL GOD TAKE YOU AGAIN?
00:47:42.50\00:47:44.93
THE ANSWER IS YES HE
WILL. YOU CAN COME BOLDLY - WHY?
00:47:44.93\00:47:50.00
WE READ IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 4,
VERSE 16, "LET US THEREFORE COME
00:47:50.00\00:47:53.60
BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE
THAT WE MAY OBTAIN" - WHAT? -
00:47:53.60\00:47:57.13
"MERCY." THESE TEXTS SPEAK TO US
ABOUT A GOD WHO WANTS US TO COME
00:47:57.13\00:48:02.00
TO HIM. A GOD WHO
DESIRES US TO COME TO HIM.
00:48:02.00\00:48:04.60
A GOD WHO KNOWS THAT IF WE
DON'T COME TO HIM WE'LL BE LOST.
00:48:04.60\00:48:07.73
AND SO HE SAYS, 'COME,
COME BOLDLY' YOU UNDERSTAND.
00:48:07.73\00:48:11.10
NOW THE ASSURANCE AND CONFIDENCE
THAT WE'RE TO HAVE - THAT IS NOT
00:48:11.10\00:48:13.73
COCKINESS - DIFFERENT THING
ALTOGETHER, YOU UNDERSTAND.
00:48:13.73\00:48:16.96
OUR CONFIDENCE IS NOT IN
OURSELVES IT IS IN - WHOM?
00:48:16.96\00:48:19.76
JESUS CHRIST. YOU
CAN HAVE FULL ASSURANCE.
00:48:19.76\00:48:22.50
YOU CAN HAVE
CONFIDENCE BECAUSE OF JESUS.
00:48:22.50\00:48:24.73
WE CAN'T SAVE OURSELVES.
WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING THAT IS
00:48:24.73\00:48:27.53
GOOD WITHOUT GOD'S HELP,
BUT WE CAN HAVE FULL ASSURANCE.
00:48:27.53\00:48:31.90
NOTHING MORE, BECAUSE
THERE'S NOTHING MORE THAN FULL
00:48:31.90\00:48:34.30
ASSURANCE, AND NOTHING LESS,
BECAUSE THAT'S NOT OUR GOD.
00:48:34.30\00:48:38.20
HOW DO WE GAIN THIS ASSURANCE?
00:48:38.20\00:48:40.10
SIMPLY THROUGH A
THING CALLED FAITH.
00:48:40.10\00:48:42.86
AND THE BIBLE TELLS US WE CAN
ACCESS OR HAVE THIS THROUGH A
00:48:42.86\00:48:45.96
THING CALLED 'FAITHFUL SERVICE'.
WE CAN ACCESS IT BY FAITH AND WE
00:48:45.96\00:48:51.00
CAN HAVE IT BECAUSE OF THE
FAITHFUL SERVICE WE DO FOR OUR
00:48:51.00\00:48:55.96
LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
SO WE CAN HAVE CONFIDENCE TODAY.
00:48:55.96\00:49:00.93
LET'S GO TO WEDNESDAY - HOPE
- BE STEADFAST AND UNSWERVING.
00:49:00.93\00:49:05.90
I JUST READ A STORY THE OTHER
DAY ABOUT A COMMUTER FLIGHT.
00:49:05.90\00:49:10.06
CAPTAIN HARRY DEMPSEY - THIS
TOOK PLACE IN 1987 - HE HEARD A
00:49:10.06\00:49:14.43
STRANGE - THEY WERE
FLYING - TAKING OFF -
00:49:14.43\00:49:15.83
AND HE HEARD A
STRANGE NOISE AT THE BACK OF
00:49:15.83\00:49:17.30
THIS LITTLE
15-PASSENGER AIRPLANE.
00:49:17.30\00:49:19.26
SO WHEN HE WENT BACK
THERE - LEFT THE CONTROLS TO HIS
00:49:19.26\00:49:23.06
CO-PILOT - HE WENT BACK THERE
TO CHECK OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
00:49:23.06\00:49:27.20
THE PLANE HIT AN AIR POCKET AND,
OF COURSE, IT BOUNCED EVERYBODY
00:49:27.20\00:49:30.40
AROUND IN THERE AND IT THROUGH
DEMPSEY AGAINST THE BACK DOOR
00:49:30.40\00:49:35.10
AND THE DOOR ACTUALLY POPPED
OPEN AND THAT'S THE NOISE HE
00:49:35.10\00:49:39.13
HEARD - THE DOOR WAS
LOOSE - IT WASN'T SHUT - FULLY
00:49:39.13\00:49:42.80
CLOSED THERE - WHEN THE
PLANE TOOK OFF. AND SO DEMPSEY -
00:49:42.80\00:49:46.43
THE DOOR FLUNG OPEN AND DEMPSEY
GOT SUCKED OUT AND THEY WERE
00:49:46.43\00:49:51.43
ABOUT 5,000 FEET IN THE AIR.
WELL, THE CO-PILOT REALIZED WHAT
00:49:51.43\00:49:55.30
WAS HAPPENING. HE
RADIOED TOWERS AROUND AND
00:49:55.30\00:49:57.60
TRIED TO FIND A PLACE WHERE HE
COULD LAND THE PLANE AND QUICKLY
00:49:57.60\00:50:00.70
AND SO WHEN THEY -
THE PLANE LANDED - THEY
00:50:00.70\00:50:03.70
ACTUALLY FOUND DEMPSEY ALIVE.
THEY FOUND DEMPSEY ALIVE AND HE
00:50:03.70\00:50:07.23
WAS STILL CLINGING TO
THE OUTDOOR STAIR RAILING.
00:50:07.23\00:50:09.66
APPARENTLY WHEN THE DOOR FLUNG
OPEN IT DROPPED THE STAIRS.
00:50:09.66\00:50:12.03
HE INSTINCTIVELY GRABBED THE
RAILING AND HE HUNG ON FOR DEAR
00:50:12.03\00:50:15.13
LIFE FOR TEN MINUTES
IN 200 MILE AN HOUR WINDS.
00:50:15.13\00:50:19.10
AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO TAKE A
FEW MINUTES TO PRY - TO GET HIS
00:50:19.10\00:50:23.30
HANDS LOOSE FROM
- YOU CAN IMAGINE!
00:50:23.30\00:50:27.03
YOUR LIFE IS IN THE BALANCE
- IT'S HANGING BY YOUR GRIP.
00:50:27.03\00:50:31.20
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT HERE ON WEDNESDAY -
00:50:31.20\00:50:34.23
'HOLD ON'. HANGING ON.
WHAT DO THE FOLLOWING TEXTS TELL
00:50:34.23\00:50:38.03
US TO HOLD ON TO?
SOMEONE'S GOT HEBREWS 10:23 -
00:50:38.03\00:50:41.33
OKAY, MICHAEL'S GOT THAT.
VERY CONVENIENT HERE FOR YOU
00:50:41.33\00:50:45.03
THIS MORNING. HEBREWS
CHAPTER 10, VERSE 23 -
00:50:45.03\00:50:47.53
WE'RE LOOKING AT
HEBREWS 3:6 AND 14.
00:50:47.53\00:50:49.10
I'M JUST GOING TO READ
THESE FOR US RELATIVELY QUICKLY.
00:50:49.10\00:50:51.06
HEBREWS 3:6 AND 14 SAYS, "BUT
CHRIST AS A SON OVER HIS OWN
00:50:51.06\00:50:57.06
HOUSE, WHOSE HOUSE WE ARE
IF WE HOLD FAST THE CONFIDENCE
00:50:57.06\00:51:01.93
AND THE REJOICING OF HOPE."
00:51:01.93\00:51:03.63
HEBREWS 4:14 SAYS, "SEEING THEN
THAT WE HAVE A GREAT HIGH PRIEST
00:51:03.63\00:51:07.70
WHO HAS PASSED THROUGH THE
HEAVENS, JESUS THE SON OF GOD,
00:51:07.70\00:51:09.73
LET US HOLD FAST OUR
PROFESSION." HEBREWS 6:18,
00:51:09.73\00:51:14.23
"BY TWO IMMUTABLE THINGS, IN
WHICH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD
00:51:14.23\00:51:17.20
TO LIE, WE MIGHT HAVE STRONG
CONSOLATION WHO HAVE FLED FOR
00:51:17.20\00:51:20.56
REFUGE TO LAY HOLD ON THE
HOPE THAT IS SET BEFORE US."
00:51:20.56\00:51:25.63
HEBREWS 10:23,
MICHAEL, THANK YOU.
00:51:25.63\00:51:27.83
>>HEBREWS 10:23, "LET US HOLD
FAST THE CONFESSION OF OUR HOPE
00:51:27.83\00:51:31.80
WITHOUT WAVERING, FOR HE
WHO PROMISED IS FAITHFUL."
00:51:31.80\00:51:35.86
>>AMEN. SO WE ARE TO DO WHAT?
HOLD FAST AND DON'T LET GO.
00:51:35.86\00:51:41.66
IT'S A MATTER OF LIFE
OR DEATH. IT TRULY IS.
00:51:41.66\00:51:45.40
IT'S A MATTER OF LIFE
OR DEATH. DO NOT LET GO.
00:51:45.40\00:51:48.36
WE CAN TRUST THAT GOD WILL
FULFILL HIS PROMISES, AMEN?
00:51:48.36\00:51:51.66
THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF STORIES
IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT
00:51:51.66\00:51:54.03
THAT TELL US WE CAN TRUST GOD.
00:51:54.03\00:51:56.70
WE CAN KNOW THAT
HIS PROMISES ARE SURE.
00:51:56.70\00:51:59.03
HE TOLD ABRAHAM AND SARAH,
'YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A CHILD'.
00:51:59.03\00:52:01.40
DID THEY HAVE A
CHILD? YES, THEY HAD A CHILD.
00:52:01.40\00:52:04.10
THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHESIED
OF THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH.
00:52:04.10\00:52:07.33
DID THE MESSIAH COME
THE FIRST TIME? YES HE DID.
00:52:07.33\00:52:10.36
THESE PROMISES HAVE BEEN
FULFILLED THAT LEAD US TO
00:52:10.36\00:52:13.56
BELIEVE THAT WE CAN TRUST
GOD'S PROMISES FOR US TODAY.
00:52:13.56\00:52:17.16
WHEN IT SAYS HE IS COMING
BACK CAN WE TRUST THAT PROMISE?
00:52:17.16\00:52:20.03
YOU'D BETTER BELIEVE IT.
00:52:20.03\00:52:21.00
GOD'S WORD SAYS
IT, WE CAN BELIEVE IT.
00:52:21.00\00:52:22.70
DON'T LET THE DEVIL TELL
YOU THAT YOU'RE NOT GOOD.
00:52:22.70\00:52:25.63
DON'T LET THE DEVIL TELL YOU
THAT YOUR SIN IS TOO BAD - TOO
00:52:25.63\00:52:28.00
BIG FOR GOD TO TAKE CARE
OF. WHERE SIN ABOUNDS, GRACE DID
00:52:28.00\00:52:32.06
THAT MUCH MORE ABOUND.
AND IF IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOUR
00:52:32.06\00:52:35.93
GRIP IS SLIPPING, REMEMBER THAT
GOD HAS A TIGHTER AND FIRMER
00:52:35.93\00:52:39.16
HOLD ON YOU AND YOU CAN
TRUST HIM TO HOLD YOU. ALRIGHT.
00:52:39.16\00:52:43.93

>>IN 3 - 2 - 1 - ACTION. (MUSIC)
00:53:17.06\00:53:30.03
>>THIS DOCUMENTARY
COVERS A SPAN FROM THE FIRST
00:53:30.03\00:53:33.76
COMING OF JESUS AND WHAT WAS
GOING ON IN THE CHURCH UP UNTIL
00:53:33.76\00:53:37.60
JUST BEFORE THE
SECOND COMING OF JESUS.
00:53:37.60\00:53:40.36
IT SHOWS THE GREAT APOSTASY THAT
CREPT INTO THE CHURCH AND THEN,
00:53:40.36\00:53:46.76
ULTIMATELY, THE GREAT REVIVAL
THROUGH THE GREAT REFORMATION.
00:53:46.76\00:53:51.90
THIS IS A LIFE AND DEATH BATTLE.
00:53:51.90\00:53:54.83
IT'S NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT IS
HAPPENING IN HALLUCINATIONS OF A
00:53:54.83\00:53:59.03
PROPHET, THOSE THINGS ARE
PLAYED OUT IN REAL HISTORY.
00:53:59.03\00:54:02.96
(MUSIC)
00:54:02.96\00:54:13.93
>>THE SCARLET HARLOT
WOMAN IN REVELATION 17, WHO
00:54:13.93\00:54:17.06
REPRESENTS THE CHURCH THAT
HAS FALLEN INTO APOSTASY AND WE
00:54:17.06\00:54:21.76
THOUGHT, IN THE CONTEXT OF THESE
TWO POLAR OPPOSITE VISIONS IN
00:54:21.76\00:54:26.56
REVELATION, WE COULD TELL THE
STORY OF WHAT THE DEVIL WANTED
00:54:26.56\00:54:29.86
TO DO TO THE CHURCH - THIS
COUNTERFEIT CHURCH AND THIS
00:54:29.86\00:54:33.63
PERSECUTING POWER AND THE REAL
PURITY THAT GOD WANTED FOR HIS
00:54:33.63\00:54:37.26
PEOPLE - THE PURE TRUTH -
THE PURE WORD - AND JUST SEE THE
00:54:37.26\00:54:40.20
BATTLE - THE
CONFLICT BETWEEN THESE TWO
00:54:40.20\00:54:43.76
AND THE DRAGON
APPEARS IN BOTH STORIES.
00:54:43.76\00:54:46.90
YOU'VE GOT THE SAME DRAGON
- THAT SEVEN-HEADED DRAGON IS
00:54:46.90\00:54:49.70
PERSECUTING THIS ONE WOMAN AND
YET THE OTHER WOMAN IS RIDING
00:54:49.70\00:54:54.10
UPON IT - THEY'RE WORKING IN
COOPERATION - THEY'RE A TEAM.
00:54:54.10\00:54:57.53
THE CONTEXT OF THESE TWO VISIONS
CREATES A VERY CLEAN WAY TO
00:54:57.53\00:55:02.03
ILLUSTRATE THE BATTLE BETWEEN
TRUTH AND ERROR - TRUE CHURCH -
00:55:02.03\00:55:05.46
FALSE CHURCH - GOOD CHURCH - BAD
CHURCH - PURE CHURCH - DEFILED
00:55:05.46\00:55:10.20
CHURCH - AND THAT'S THE GREAT
CONTROVERSY GOING ON IN THE
00:55:10.20\00:55:13.33
RELIGIOUS WORLD TODAY.
>>WE DON'T WANT HER TO GO TO THE
00:55:13.33\00:55:16.63
POINT WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE
'OH MAN, SHE'S KIND OF SCARY.
00:55:16.63\00:55:18.93
>>NO, THE FACE IS GOING
TO BE LIKE FLAWLESS BEAUTY -
00:55:18.93\00:55:22.36
JUST INTENSE EYES.
I'VE GOT CRAZY LASHES.
00:55:22.36\00:55:27.26
I'VE GOT LIKE THREE
DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR LASHES.
00:55:27.26\00:55:29.30
>>OKAY.
>>UM...LIKE A REALLY VIBRANT
00:55:29.30\00:55:31.40
LIP, YOU KNOW, SO JUST REALLY,
REALLY INTENSE IN THE FACE AND
00:55:31.40\00:55:36.20
FLAWLESS BUT WE CAN ALSO DO, YOU
KNOW, DECORATIVE STUFF TOO LIKE
00:55:36.20\00:55:40.00
WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT ON THE HAND.
00:55:40.00\00:55:43.33
>>AND WE'RE GOING TO ADD A
00:55:43.33\00:55:45.06
PIECE THAT'S A FALL AND IT'S
GOING TO HAVE BRAIDS AND IT'S
00:55:45.06\00:55:49.00
GOING TO ADD MORE HAIR AND MORE
WAVE AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO ADD
00:55:49.00\00:55:52.50
A BUNCH OF JEWELS AND
CROWNS AND GEMS AND JEWELRY.
00:55:52.50\00:55:58.56
>>SHE IS GOING TO
BE HIGHLY DECORATED.
00:55:58.56\00:56:00.36
>>YEAH, DECORATIONS.
00:56:00.36\00:56:03.06
>>THE WOMAN ON THE DRAGON ALSO
HAS WRITING ON HER FOREHEAD:
00:56:03.06\00:56:07.23
'MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND THE
00:56:07.23\00:56:09.80
ABOMINATION OF THE EARTH.'
WE HAD NICOLE, OUR MAKE-UP
00:56:09.80\00:56:12.76
ARTIST, WRITE ALL THE
ACTUAL SCRIPTURE VERSE THERE
00:56:12.76\00:56:16.60
ON HER FOREHEAD IN HEBREW.
00:56:16.60\00:56:19.23
>>ALRIGHT, TAKE HER AROUND. VERY
NICE. TIP THE HEAD A LITTLE BIT.
00:56:19.23\00:56:26.83
>>AS AN EVANGELIST, WE HAVE
PREACHED - FOR YEARS I'VE TALKED
00:56:26.83\00:56:29.43
ABOUT REVELATION 17 - THIS
INFAMOUS WOMAN - AND I'VE NEVER
00:56:29.43\00:56:33.50
REALLY SEEN AN ARTIST'S CONCEPT
THAT RIGHTLY PORTRAYS WHAT I
00:56:33.50\00:56:37.00
THOUGHT IN MY MIND JOHN
SAW IN VISION. AND IT JUST -
00:56:37.00\00:56:41.20
SOMETHING ABOUT THE VIVID BRIGHT
COLORS - EVERYBODY THAT WALKED
00:56:41.20\00:56:47.56
IN AND SAW THAT BEING
SHOT - THEIR MOUTHS FELL OPEN.
00:56:47.56\00:56:50.60
I EXPECT THIS IS GOING TO BE A
MIXTURE OF RESPONSES AND THAT'S
00:56:50.60\00:56:54.33
ALWAYS THE CASE WHEN YOU SHARE
TRUTH WITH PEOPLE, BUT THE TRUTH
00:56:54.33\00:56:57.53
IS THE TRUTH AND SO WHEN PEOPLE
SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE
00:56:57.53\00:57:02.10
CHURCH AND THE GREAT COMPROMISE
AND THE PERSECUTION THAT GOD'S
00:57:02.10\00:57:08.90
PEOPLE HAVE GONE THROUGH -
EVEN AT THE HANDS OF PROFESSED
00:57:08.90\00:57:11.33
CHRISTIANS, I THINK SOME PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO SAY, 'WOW, HOW COME
00:57:11.33\00:57:16.53
I NEVER SAW THIS BEFORE?
00:57:16.53\00:57:18.20
I'M GOING TO TAKE A
STAND FOR THE TRUTH.
00:57:18.20\00:57:20.26
I BELIEVE THIS IS
GOING TO AFFECT MY LIFE.
00:57:20.26\00:57:22.50
THIS IS GOING TO LIBERATE
ME. THIS IS GOING TO MAKE ME A
00:57:22.50\00:57:24.46
BETTER PERSON. THIS IS
A BETTER PICTURE OF GOD.
00:57:24.46\00:57:27.56
ANYTHING WE DO TO DISTORT THE
TRUTH OR TO COVER THE TRUTH, IT
00:57:27.56\00:57:31.46
HIDES OR VEILS JESUS IN
SOME WAY. AND SO THIS FILM -
00:57:31.46\00:57:35.10
WE'RE WANTING TO TEAR
THE VEIL AWAY AND REALLY SHOW
00:57:35.10\00:57:37.36
WHO JESUS IS THROUGH A PURE
VIEW OF THE TRUTH AND EVERYBODY
00:57:37.36\00:57:43.30
IS AFFECTED BY THAT. (MUSIC)
00:57:43.30\00:57:44.30
