Hello, and welcome once
again to Pillars of our Faith.
00:00:24.22\00:00:27.76
We got a brand
new series for you
00:00:27.79\00:00:29.76
and we are excited
for the word of God,
00:00:29.79\00:00:31.83
what shall we preach today.
00:00:31.86\00:00:33.50
This is Pillars of our Faith,
00:00:33.53\00:00:35.33
a word for today
in today's world,
00:00:35.36\00:00:38.23
and our speaker is
Pastor John Dinzey,
00:00:38.27\00:00:41.04
who is the general
manager of 3ABN Latino channel.
00:00:41.07\00:00:47.34
John has been here, we
were just talking backstage,
00:00:47.38\00:00:49.91
for 27 years, he's been at 3ABN,
00:00:49.94\00:00:53.15
and done a very, very fine job.
00:00:53.18\00:00:54.82
He was the, dare
I say if not thee,
00:00:54.85\00:00:57.92
certainly one of the
leading and moving forces
00:00:57.95\00:01:00.46
in getting the
Latino channel established.
00:01:00.49\00:01:04.13
It is growing
and has been growing
00:01:04.16\00:01:06.13
over the past several
years by leaps and bounds.
00:01:06.16\00:01:09.30
Excuse me.
00:01:09.33\00:01:10.67
And God has blessed
it so very, very much
00:01:10.70\00:01:13.74
wherever we go, when I
travel with my wife Irma
00:01:13.77\00:01:16.30
in the Caribbean
Latino countries,
00:01:16.34\00:01:18.54
we see the fruit of
the labor of the small,
00:01:18.57\00:01:22.94
but power packed
Latino department.
00:01:22.98\00:01:25.65
John is ably
assisted by his wife, Idalia.
00:01:25.68\00:01:28.82
And there's not a lot of
people in that department
00:01:28.85\00:01:32.95
but God gets maximum
effort and maximum results
00:01:32.99\00:01:36.83
from a relatively
small amount of individuals
00:01:36.86\00:01:39.96
who are dedicated to the Lord,
00:01:40.00\00:01:41.60
and we see the
fruit of their labors
00:01:41.63\00:01:43.77
and the growth of
the Latino channel,
00:01:43.80\00:01:45.83
perhaps Johnny will mention,
00:01:45.87\00:01:47.80
how many cable
stations around the globe
00:01:47.84\00:01:50.47
that 3ABN Latino is present on.
00:01:50.51\00:01:53.27
And so we're very, very pleased,
00:01:53.31\00:01:55.04
John is a student of the word,
00:01:55.08\00:01:57.15
a preacher and
teacher of the word,
00:01:57.18\00:01:59.21
has a good handle
on the word of God,
00:01:59.25\00:02:01.65
is a pleasant
person to work with,
00:02:01.68\00:02:04.12
sometimes I go into his
office and sit and talk,
00:02:04.15\00:02:06.45
or he comes to my
office and we sit and talk,
00:02:06.49\00:02:08.62
and we have a
good rapport together.
00:02:08.66\00:02:10.83
I call him El Jefe
which means the chief,
00:02:10.86\00:02:15.00
and he affectionately
calls me Distinguido
00:02:15.03\00:02:17.50
which means distinguished one,
00:02:17.53\00:02:19.23
so we don't even
use names anymore,
00:02:19.27\00:02:20.87
we just call each
other by these titles,
00:02:20.90\00:02:22.84
and we enjoy our times together.
00:02:22.87\00:02:24.67
But John is good
speaker of the word,
00:02:24.71\00:02:27.94
and a good student of the word
and we expect a informative,
00:02:27.98\00:02:30.95
inspirational message from
him and we're looking forward
00:02:30.98\00:02:35.15
to the title of
his sermon today,
00:02:35.18\00:02:37.22
which is the First
Angel's Message part 1.
00:02:37.25\00:02:42.02
John's subject for
these five presentations
00:02:42.06\00:02:45.69
will be the
Three Angels' Messages,
00:02:45.73\00:02:48.23
and so the first two
will deal specifically
00:02:48.26\00:02:50.93
with the First Angel's Message.
00:02:50.97\00:02:54.04
This message part 1,
the next message part 2.
00:02:54.07\00:02:57.04
There is so much to
be learned as we look at
00:02:57.07\00:02:59.37
and study the
messages of the three angels,
00:02:59.41\00:03:02.64
and so we are please to
invite Pastor John Dinzey
00:03:02.68\00:03:07.12
to the sacred desk to
speak a word for the Lord.
00:03:07.15\00:03:09.95
I'm going to pray now and
then we will ask the man of God
00:03:09.98\00:03:13.02
to come forward and to do
what God has called him to do,
00:03:13.05\00:03:17.39
and that's preach with power.
00:03:17.43\00:03:18.76
Shall we pray, Father God,
00:03:18.79\00:03:21.00
we do praise you and
thank you for your love for us
00:03:21.03\00:03:25.13
and for your goodness to us.
00:03:25.17\00:03:27.44
We thank you for
the power of the word,
00:03:27.47\00:03:29.77
and we thank you for
those who've dedicated time
00:03:29.80\00:03:32.14
and talent to the
study of that word
00:03:32.17\00:03:34.48
that they may preach the
word with power and authority.
00:03:34.51\00:03:38.51
Bless now your man servant.
00:03:38.55\00:03:41.42
Speak to him so
that he will speak to us.
00:03:41.45\00:03:45.29
Bless him so that he
will be a blessing to us.
00:03:45.32\00:03:48.79
And may Christ be
seen and glorified
00:03:48.82\00:03:52.56
in all that happens
in this place on this day
00:03:52.59\00:03:56.90
and we thank you dear Father
in Jesus name, amen, and Amen.
00:03:56.93\00:04:02.27
And now, John Dinzey.
00:04:02.30\00:04:07.04
Thank you Pastor CA, I
appreciate your kind words.
00:04:07.08\00:04:10.75
And yes, we are going to be
studying God's words together,
00:04:10.78\00:04:15.02
a very important
series, a very important topic.
00:04:15.05\00:04:19.55
One I believe
that every individual
00:04:19.59\00:04:22.52
should be acquainted with,
00:04:22.56\00:04:24.13
for it talks
about these last days
00:04:24.16\00:04:26.43
in which we live in.
00:04:26.46\00:04:27.96
And it helps us understand
00:04:28.00\00:04:30.73
that we are approaching the time
00:04:30.77\00:04:33.10
when our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ
00:04:33.13\00:04:36.14
will come in the
clouds of heaven.
00:04:36.17\00:04:38.64
And we are very
grateful for the word of God
00:04:38.67\00:04:41.28
that we have the liberty to read
00:04:41.31\00:04:43.68
and study and share
with others in this country,
00:04:43.71\00:04:47.15
and it is the same in many
countries around the world.
00:04:47.18\00:04:49.85
Really I believe the Lord
is opening up the possibility
00:04:49.88\00:04:53.52
of preaching the
gospel in the whole world.
00:04:53.56\00:04:56.66
Doors are opening all
over the world, and yes,
00:04:56.69\00:05:00.10
3ABN Latino is one instrument
in the hands of the Lord,
00:05:00.13\00:05:04.30
that is reaching millions
of people for Jesus Christ.
00:05:04.33\00:05:07.00
We are on over
1100 cable companies
00:05:07.04\00:05:11.54
with 3ABN Latino alone,
we're not counting 3ABN,
00:05:11.57\00:05:15.41
our flagship
network, our parent network,
00:05:15.44\00:05:18.51
and we just praise the
Lord for what God is doing
00:05:18.55\00:05:20.98
through Three Angels
Broadcasting Network.
00:05:21.02\00:05:24.25
And this network is entitled,
the title of the network
00:05:24.29\00:05:29.06
is Three Angels
Broadcasting Network,
00:05:29.09\00:05:30.83
and yes, we will be studying
the Three Angels' Messages
00:05:30.86\00:05:34.36
during these five topics,
00:05:34.40\00:05:35.90
I must say here in the beginning
00:05:35.93\00:05:38.43
that our five
topics is not enough
00:05:38.47\00:05:41.74
to really cover these
Three Angels' Messages,
00:05:41.77\00:05:46.44
we would need many, many more.
00:05:46.47\00:05:48.91
I might think I've seen
one pastor spent 25 hours
00:05:48.94\00:05:53.68
talking about the
Three Angels' Messages.
00:05:53.72\00:05:55.05
We have the limit of
five sermons to deal with,
00:05:55.08\00:05:58.72
and so we're asking
for the Lord to bless us.
00:05:58.75\00:06:01.22
I encourage you
to pray for, for me.
00:06:01.26\00:06:03.53
And speaking of prayer,
00:06:03.56\00:06:05.23
I know that
Pastor CA already prayed,
00:06:05.26\00:06:07.90
but before I go to the
Lord to present his word,
00:06:07.93\00:06:12.23
before we go to
present his word,
00:06:12.27\00:06:13.74
I like to go to the
Lord again in prayer.
00:06:13.77\00:06:16.20
And I would like
to, I'm going to kneel
00:06:16.24\00:06:19.27
and I'm gonna ask of course
that you will also pray for me.
00:06:19.31\00:06:26.05
So let us go to the Lord
in prayer at this moment.
00:06:26.08\00:06:28.98
Our loving heavenly Father,
00:06:32.69\00:06:35.42
we are grateful to you Lord
for your goodness and mercy.
00:06:35.46\00:06:39.49
We thank you for
the holy scriptures
00:06:39.53\00:06:41.20
that are able to make
us wise unto salvation.
00:06:41.23\00:06:44.73
Lord, your time has come
00:06:44.77\00:06:46.10
to speak to your
children once again.
00:06:46.13\00:06:48.47
And I place
myself in your hands,
00:06:48.50\00:06:52.11
so that you'll speak.
00:06:52.14\00:06:53.88
We ask that every
word will come directly
00:06:53.91\00:06:56.11
from your throne of grace.
00:06:56.14\00:06:58.18
Speak to your
children for you only know
00:06:58.21\00:07:00.22
what they need to hear.
00:07:00.25\00:07:01.72
We ask you Father in Jesus' holy
00:07:01.75\00:07:04.19
and blessed name, amen.
00:07:04.22\00:07:09.19
As we look into Revelation 14,
00:07:09.22\00:07:13.50
we see that
there are three angels
00:07:13.53\00:07:16.06
mentioned beginning in verse 6.
00:07:16.10\00:07:19.40
Revelation 14:6-12,
00:07:19.43\00:07:23.61
really through
the end of chapter 14
00:07:23.64\00:07:26.57
brings us the
Three Angels' Messages.
00:07:26.61\00:07:30.11
And so as you
look at Revelation 14,
00:07:30.15\00:07:33.25
you'll notice that it's
really a new group of angels,
00:07:33.28\00:07:36.52
because angels have
been mentioned prior
00:07:36.55\00:07:39.39
to Revelation 14:6,
00:07:39.42\00:07:41.69
this is why when
we look at verse 6,
00:07:41.72\00:07:44.46
it begins with the
word I saw another angel.
00:07:44.49\00:07:47.66
However when you continue
reading in Revelation 14,
00:07:47.70\00:07:51.50
you'll notice that it
mentions in Revelation 14:9,
00:07:51.53\00:07:56.40
and it says,
and the third angel.
00:07:56.44\00:07:59.11
In other words,
00:07:59.14\00:08:00.48
these three angels
are a series of angels
00:08:00.51\00:08:03.31
that have a message for
the world in the end time.
00:08:03.35\00:08:08.02
And it's really
these three angels
00:08:08.05\00:08:09.72
are linked
together in the message
00:08:09.75\00:08:12.45
and they compliment
one another as it were,
00:08:12.49\00:08:16.06
and it is a continuing message
for the people in the end time.
00:08:16.09\00:08:21.16
So I would like to encourage you
00:08:21.20\00:08:22.96
to open up the Holy Scriptures
00:08:23.00\00:08:25.17
and those of you
joining us in different places
00:08:25.20\00:08:27.24
might open your
phone application
00:08:27.27\00:08:30.11
to a Bible or tablet.
00:08:30.14\00:08:32.17
And so let's go
to Revelation 14:6,
00:08:32.21\00:08:36.64
and begin our message for today.
00:08:36.68\00:08:39.78
In Revelation 14:6, we
have the following words.
00:08:39.81\00:08:45.45
"And I saw another angel
fly in the midst of heaven,
00:08:45.49\00:08:51.03
having the everlasting
gospel to preach unto them
00:08:51.06\00:08:54.66
that dwell on the earth,
00:08:54.70\00:08:56.46
and to every
nation, and kindred,
00:08:56.50\00:09:00.20
and tongue, and people,
Saying with a loud voice,
00:09:00.24\00:09:04.64
Fear God, and give glory to him,
00:09:04.67\00:09:08.01
for the hour of his
judgment is come and worship him
00:09:08.04\00:09:12.51
that made heaven,
and earth, and the sea,
00:09:12.55\00:09:16.22
and the fountains of waters."
00:09:16.25\00:09:19.79
Here in Revelation 14:6 and 7,
00:09:19.82\00:09:24.03
we have the
first angel's message.
00:09:24.06\00:09:27.73
Let's look at this
first angel's message
00:09:27.76\00:09:30.40
so that we can
understand it a little more.
00:09:30.43\00:09:32.20
Again I say that even
this first angel's message
00:09:32.23\00:09:35.77
will take at least 10
sermons to really understand it.
00:09:35.80\00:09:39.94
However we're
going to, by God's grace
00:09:39.97\00:09:43.08
cover it in two messages.
00:09:43.11\00:09:45.18
So let's look at this message
00:09:45.21\00:09:46.92
and go back to the
beginning of the message.
00:09:46.95\00:09:49.72
It says, I saw another angel,
00:09:49.75\00:09:53.96
so John the apostle is
said to have seen an angel,
00:09:53.99\00:09:59.59
in other words the
act that he sees the angel
00:09:59.63\00:10:02.53
is something that the
world needs to take notice of.
00:10:02.56\00:10:07.54
However this angel
is very interesting
00:10:07.57\00:10:11.14
because he has the
everlasting gospel to preach.
00:10:11.17\00:10:17.35
Now notice that
the word angel here
00:10:17.38\00:10:20.78
is a Greek word
angelos which means angel
00:10:20.82\00:10:26.22
for the most part it is
used as angel in the Bible,
00:10:26.25\00:10:29.86
in the New Testament.
00:10:29.89\00:10:31.36
But this word angel,
the Greek word angelos
00:10:31.39\00:10:36.90
is also used for
the word messenger.
00:10:36.93\00:10:41.67
For this reason, I
would like to invite you
00:10:41.70\00:10:43.97
to look at least one example
of how this Greek word is used.
00:10:44.01\00:10:49.51
And I invite you to turn
in your Bibles to Luke 7,
00:10:49.54\00:10:53.65
and we're going to look at
verses 27 and 28 for context.
00:10:53.68\00:10:57.89
Luke 7:27 and 28,
notice the words of the Lord.
00:10:57.92\00:11:03.12
This is he, this
was Jesus speaking,
00:11:03.16\00:11:05.59
"This is he, of
whom it is written,
00:11:05.63\00:11:08.36
Behold, I send my
messenger before thy face,
00:11:08.40\00:11:13.67
which shall prepare
thy way before thee."
00:11:13.70\00:11:18.27
Right here in verse 27
00:11:18.31\00:11:19.64
the word messenger
is the same Greek word
00:11:19.67\00:11:21.84
used in Revelation 14:6,
00:11:21.88\00:11:25.31
"I send my
messenger, it would be,
00:11:25.35\00:11:27.52
I send my angel before thy face,
00:11:27.55\00:11:29.55
which shall prepare
thy way before thee.
00:11:29.58\00:11:31.75
For I say unto you,
00:11:31.79\00:11:33.12
among those that
are born of women
00:11:33.15\00:11:35.69
there is not a greater
prophet than John the Baptist
00:11:35.72\00:11:39.79
but he that is least
in the kingdom of God
00:11:39.83\00:11:42.20
is greater than he."
00:11:42.23\00:11:44.00
So what is that,
that we have here,
00:11:44.03\00:11:45.90
what we have here is that
John the Baptist was called
00:11:45.93\00:11:51.04
the messenger of the Lord,
00:11:51.07\00:11:53.31
and as he is called
the messenger of the Lord,
00:11:53.34\00:11:55.84
the same Greek
word angelos is used,
00:11:55.88\00:11:58.18
that means he is a
messenger of the Lord,
00:11:58.21\00:12:00.92
and here you know it
is talking about John.
00:12:00.95\00:12:04.15
When the translators are
looking in at the Greek words,
00:12:04.19\00:12:07.66
they say this,
this says messenger.
00:12:07.69\00:12:10.63
We cannot put
the word 'angel' here
00:12:10.66\00:12:12.56
because it's talking
about John the Baptist,
00:12:12.59\00:12:14.73
therefore they put the
word messenger incorrectly so.
00:12:14.76\00:12:18.93
But when we go
to Revelation 14:6
00:12:18.97\00:12:22.50
and we look at the
fact that it uses an angel,
00:12:22.54\00:12:26.54
helps us to understand
that it's a heavenly message,
00:12:26.57\00:12:30.65
it's a message from heaven of...
00:12:30.68\00:12:33.08
the origin is heaven,
the origin is God's throne,
00:12:33.11\00:12:36.15
and this angel
that has the message,
00:12:36.18\00:12:39.79
has the everlasting
gospel to preach to the world,
00:12:39.82\00:12:43.02
a very important message,
00:12:43.06\00:12:44.43
because that message is
supposed to go to every nation,
00:12:44.46\00:12:47.80
kindred, and tongue, and people.
00:12:47.83\00:12:51.33
So at this stage we
ask the following question
00:12:51.37\00:12:55.90
who is this angel,
who is this messenger?
00:12:55.94\00:13:01.48
I say to you that
if the message of the,
00:13:01.51\00:13:07.28
or the task of
preaching the gospel
00:13:07.32\00:13:09.35
was committed to
angels or to an angel,
00:13:09.38\00:13:12.39
that job would have
been done a long time ago,
00:13:12.42\00:13:17.83
therefore we need to understand
00:13:17.86\00:13:20.26
that even though it is
represented as an angel
00:13:20.30\00:13:23.37
flying in the midst of heaven,
00:13:23.40\00:13:25.03
this is a symbol used
to represent God's people
00:13:25.07\00:13:29.24
that are going to
take the everlasting gospel
00:13:29.27\00:13:31.94
to the world.
00:13:31.97\00:13:33.38
It is not a literal
angel that is going to do this,
00:13:33.41\00:13:36.04
it is God's
children, God's people.
00:13:36.08\00:13:39.45
The task has been
committed to God's children
00:13:39.48\00:13:42.55
to preach the
gospel to the world.
00:13:42.58\00:13:45.29
And it is supposed to be
preached to every kindred,
00:13:45.32\00:13:49.16
tongue, and people.
00:13:49.19\00:13:51.06
No one is to be excluded.
00:13:51.09\00:13:53.29
Every nation is included,
every language is included,
00:13:53.33\00:13:56.43
the everlasting gospel
has to go to all the world.
00:13:56.46\00:13:59.20
Why is this?
00:13:59.23\00:14:00.57
Because God so loved the world
00:14:00.60\00:14:02.80
that He gave His
only begotten Son
00:14:02.84\00:14:05.14
that whosoever believes
in Him should not perish,
00:14:05.17\00:14:08.48
but have everlasting life.
00:14:08.51\00:14:12.05
Therefore this is a message
00:14:12.08\00:14:13.78
that needs to go
to the whole world.
00:14:13.82\00:14:16.05
However, as you look
at Revelation 14:6 and 7,
00:14:16.08\00:14:20.16
you will notice that
it is like a preparation
00:14:20.19\00:14:23.16
for the second
coming of Jesus Christ.
00:14:23.19\00:14:25.63
This angel,
00:14:25.66\00:14:27.00
the actual fact of preaching
the gospel to all the world
00:14:27.03\00:14:29.76
is linked to the
second coming of Jesus Christ.
00:14:29.80\00:14:33.94
How is it that we know that?
00:14:33.97\00:14:35.54
We will see that in a moment,
00:14:35.57\00:14:37.04
but first let's look at the fact
00:14:37.07\00:14:39.41
that the preaching of the gospel
00:14:39.44\00:14:40.91
has been
committed to human beings
00:14:40.94\00:14:43.41
and not to angels.
00:14:43.45\00:14:45.41
Angels aid human
beings in the process,
00:14:45.45\00:14:48.45
however it has been
committed to you and to me
00:14:48.48\00:14:51.39
to preach the gospel.
00:14:51.42\00:14:52.75
I invite you to look in
your Bible to Matthew 28.
00:14:52.79\00:14:58.03
In Matthew 28, we're
going to look at verses,
00:14:58.06\00:15:03.00
actually verses 18-20.
00:15:03.03\00:15:05.77
Verses 18-20.
00:15:05.80\00:15:07.14
Matthew 28:18-20,
00:15:07.17\00:15:10.07
let us begin reading
God's word at verse 18,
00:15:10.11\00:15:13.98
"And Jesus came and
spake unto them, saying,
00:15:14.01\00:15:18.08
All power is given unto
me in heaven and in earth.
00:15:18.11\00:15:23.49
Go ye therefore, for this reason
00:15:23.52\00:15:25.72
because he has all power,
00:15:25.75\00:15:27.16
go ye therefore
and teach all nations,
00:15:27.19\00:15:31.56
baptizing them in
the name of the Father,
00:15:31.59\00:15:34.30
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost,
00:15:34.33\00:15:37.17
teaching them to
observe all things
00:15:37.20\00:15:40.37
whatsoever I have commanded you
and, lo, I am with you always
00:15:40.40\00:15:46.27
even unto the end of the world."
00:15:46.31\00:15:49.48
Before Jesus tells his disciples
00:15:49.51\00:15:52.15
to go and preach the
gospel to every nation,
00:15:52.18\00:15:55.52
he assures them
00:15:55.55\00:15:57.39
that all power has
been given to him in heaven,
00:15:57.42\00:16:00.49
and in earth and he
says, go ye therefore
00:16:00.52\00:16:03.39
and preach the
gospel to every nation.
00:16:03.43\00:16:06.90
The gospel is to be preached
00:16:06.93\00:16:08.33
and wherever you go to
preach the gospel Jesus said,
00:16:08.36\00:16:12.53
I will be with you always
00:16:12.57\00:16:15.17
even until the end of the world.
00:16:15.20\00:16:17.27
So who, to whom has the task
00:16:17.31\00:16:21.18
of preaching the
gospel been given to?
00:16:21.21\00:16:23.71
Non other than human
beings that means you,
00:16:23.75\00:16:26.41
and that means
I, and I tell you,
00:16:26.45\00:16:28.65
brothers and sisters,
00:16:28.68\00:16:30.02
and those
listening wherever you are
00:16:30.05\00:16:32.19
that we need to get
as they say on the ball
00:16:32.22\00:16:35.12
and get the job done.
00:16:35.16\00:16:37.09
It has been a long time
00:16:37.13\00:16:39.13
that this message needs
to get to the whole world,
00:16:39.16\00:16:41.73
but the church
seems to be asleep
00:16:41.76\00:16:47.27
instead of doing the task
00:16:47.30\00:16:49.50
that has been
given to the church.
00:16:49.54\00:16:51.27
Yes, we see
some people waking up
00:16:51.31\00:16:53.91
or there are wonderful reports
of the gospel being preached
00:16:53.94\00:16:56.41
in different places,
00:16:56.44\00:16:57.78
but the people of
God need to awaken
00:16:57.81\00:17:00.65
to preaching the gospel.
00:17:00.68\00:17:02.02
Literally when you look at
the prophecies of Revelation,
00:17:02.05\00:17:05.79
you'll notice actually
that this angel is said
00:17:05.82\00:17:08.76
to have a point in time,
00:17:08.79\00:17:10.73
there was a mighty movement
of the preaching of the gospel
00:17:10.76\00:17:14.36
that began in the 1840s,
00:17:14.40\00:17:17.00
and I'm talking to you
some people may understand this
00:17:17.03\00:17:20.20
as the Millerite
movement or the Advent movement.
00:17:20.24\00:17:24.74
And
prophetically or historically
00:17:24.77\00:17:28.04
it began in the
1840s to be preached,
00:17:28.08\00:17:30.65
but it's supposed to continue
until Jesus Christ returns.
00:17:30.68\00:17:35.15
And so I say to you,
like I said this is linked
00:17:35.18\00:17:40.16
to the second
coming of Jesus Christ,
00:17:40.19\00:17:41.99
Hark Christ,
how do we know this?
00:17:42.02\00:17:44.86
Let us go to Matthew 24:14.
00:17:44.89\00:17:49.26
Matthew 24:14, many
people know by memory
00:17:49.30\00:17:52.93
and I will quote it by memory.
00:17:52.97\00:17:54.67
The Bible says, "And
this gospel of the kingdom
00:17:54.70\00:17:59.01
should be preached
in the whole world.
00:17:59.04\00:18:02.81
For a witness unto all nations,
and then the end shall come.
00:18:02.84\00:18:09.42
And then the end shall come.
00:18:09.45\00:18:12.45
I have to say, I've
been speaking Spanish
00:18:12.49\00:18:14.42
and only Spanish for
the last six, seven days
00:18:14.46\00:18:17.26
and so I'm here
trying to get back
00:18:17.29\00:18:19.39
in the gear of speaking English.
00:18:19.43\00:18:21.16
And so Matthew 24:14,
00:18:21.20\00:18:22.90
tells us that the
preaching of the gospel
00:18:22.93\00:18:24.73
has to be go all over the world
for witness unto all nations.
00:18:24.77\00:18:27.94
You see similar
language in Revelation 14,
00:18:27.97\00:18:31.97
and so when this job
is done, the second coming
00:18:32.01\00:18:36.88
of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ takes place.
00:18:36.91\00:18:39.68
So therefore,
brothers and sisters,
00:18:39.71\00:18:41.52
we need to get the job done,
00:18:41.55\00:18:43.99
and I make a call right now
from 3ABN to the whole world,
00:18:44.02\00:18:49.06
brother and sister,
00:18:49.09\00:18:50.56
get yourselves, put yourself
in the hands of the Lord,
00:18:50.59\00:18:54.36
that he may use you to bring
the gospel to those around you,
00:18:54.40\00:18:58.13
and to the whole
world if necessary
00:18:58.17\00:19:00.44
and I might say
to you, I say to you,
00:19:00.47\00:19:03.20
you don't have to
get in front of a pulpit
00:19:03.24\00:19:05.01
to preach the gospel.
00:19:05.04\00:19:06.88
You can preach the
gospel in different ways,
00:19:06.91\00:19:08.48
there are
different things you can use.
00:19:08.51\00:19:10.38
Nowadays there are so
many varieties of ways
00:19:10.41\00:19:13.48
of preaching the gospel.
00:19:13.52\00:19:15.15
In fact you can
preach the gospel
00:19:15.18\00:19:17.75
without even leaving your home.
00:19:17.79\00:19:19.49
My wife for a period of time,
she used to grab the phonebook,
00:19:19.52\00:19:23.43
this is not so
easily done nowadays.
00:19:23.46\00:19:25.79
She used to grab the phonebook
00:19:25.83\00:19:27.40
and just pick a name
out of the phonebook,
00:19:27.43\00:19:29.30
and my wife Idalia would say,
00:19:29.33\00:19:30.80
pray about it and would
call the person and say,
00:19:30.83\00:19:34.30
you don't know me
00:19:34.34\00:19:35.67
and I just picked your
name out of the phonebook,
00:19:35.70\00:19:37.71
but I'm calling just to ask you,
00:19:37.74\00:19:40.28
do you need
prayer about something
00:19:40.31\00:19:42.48
or anything in particular.
00:19:42.51\00:19:44.35
And people were surprised
00:19:44.38\00:19:46.38
that someone would
call them out of the blue
00:19:46.41\00:19:48.22
as you would say,
00:19:48.25\00:19:49.58
just to ask them
if they need a prayer,
00:19:49.62\00:19:52.25
and many were very
happy to hear that,
00:19:52.29\00:19:55.02
and Idalia prayed with them.
00:19:55.06\00:19:57.29
As a matter of
fact there are messages
00:19:57.33\00:19:59.06
you can send to people.
00:19:59.09\00:20:00.70
Some people are using
Facebook to preach the gospel,
00:20:00.73\00:20:02.86
Twitter and
there are other systems
00:20:02.90\00:20:06.50
or other
applications that they use.
00:20:06.53\00:20:08.84
I can't think of
them all in this moment.
00:20:08.87\00:20:11.41
In other words, you
can use the internet
00:20:11.44\00:20:12.84
to preach the gospel,
00:20:12.87\00:20:14.21
some people have open
up a page on the internet,
00:20:14.24\00:20:17.71
so that people can go
there and read the scriptures
00:20:17.75\00:20:20.35
or listen to
messages or read messages,
00:20:20.38\00:20:23.45
and I say to you,
00:20:23.49\00:20:24.82
use whatever means
is available to you
00:20:24.85\00:20:27.69
to bring the
gospel to other people.
00:20:27.72\00:20:29.92
Some people pass our pamphlets,
00:20:29.96\00:20:31.46
some people pass our booklets,
some people pass our books,
00:20:31.49\00:20:34.26
some people get
on radio stations,
00:20:34.30\00:20:35.93
and today, it is
easier than ever.
00:20:35.96\00:20:38.10
Before to get on
radio was a big process,
00:20:38.13\00:20:40.94
you have to go
to a radio station
00:20:40.97\00:20:43.24
and record there or do it live.
00:20:43.27\00:20:45.51
Nowadays in the comfort
and privacy of your home,
00:20:45.54\00:20:49.14
you can record a radio program,
00:20:49.18\00:20:51.21
send that electronically
00:20:51.25\00:20:52.58
or take it to the radio station.
00:20:52.61\00:20:54.45
There are so many ways
you can get the job done.
00:20:54.48\00:20:57.79
And I say to you
pray for God's Holy Spirit
00:20:57.82\00:21:00.19
to use you to bring
the gospel to others,
00:21:00.22\00:21:03.29
and another way
to preach the gospel.
00:21:03.32\00:21:07.00
I'm not gonna mention
every single one of them.
00:21:07.03\00:21:08.56
I don't know every
single one of them,
00:21:08.60\00:21:10.17
and the Lord will bless
you with ideas to get it done.
00:21:10.20\00:21:12.93
I know there are
people in their homes,
00:21:12.97\00:21:14.90
you cannot walk,
you cannot do much,
00:21:14.94\00:21:19.94
but if you can speak,
you can record something,
00:21:19.97\00:21:23.24
if you can speak,
you can call someone,
00:21:23.28\00:21:26.08
if you can speak,
you can tell somebody
00:21:26.11\00:21:29.25
that would visit you
or comes to your door,
00:21:29.28\00:21:31.25
tell them about Jesus Christ.
00:21:31.29\00:21:32.82
If you can write,
you can write to someone
00:21:32.85\00:21:35.36
and bring the gospel to them.
00:21:35.39\00:21:37.49
So I say to you place yourself
in the hands of the Lord,
00:21:37.53\00:21:41.53
and the Lord will use
you in a wonderful way
00:21:41.56\00:21:44.43
to bring the
gospel to other people.
00:21:44.47\00:21:46.74
As a matter of fact,
3ABN for a while in the lobby,
00:21:46.77\00:21:49.94
we had a little sign,
00:21:49.97\00:21:52.67
and it was a
very colorfully done.
00:21:52.71\00:21:55.28
And the sign said
this, "Preach the gospel
00:21:55.31\00:22:00.12
and if necessary use words."
00:22:00.15\00:22:04.95
Wow, what a
profound message that is.
00:22:04.99\00:22:07.39
The reality is that
you can preach the gospel
00:22:07.42\00:22:10.66
by the way you live your life.
00:22:10.69\00:22:14.13
So therefore,
brothers and sisters,
00:22:14.16\00:22:16.30
put yourself in
the hands of the Lord
00:22:16.33\00:22:18.13
and as it says in Matthew 5,
00:22:18.17\00:22:21.24
"Let your light
therefore so shine before men,
00:22:21.27\00:22:25.24
that they may
see your good works,
00:22:25.27\00:22:27.14
and glorify your
Father which is in heaven."
00:22:27.18\00:22:31.45
So I say to you awake,
00:22:31.48\00:22:33.62
if you're
sleeping spiritually awake
00:22:33.65\00:22:35.85
and say to the Lord,
here I'm Lord, send me,
00:22:35.88\00:22:39.22
here I'm Lord, use me,
00:22:39.25\00:22:41.22
here I'm Lord at your disposal
to use as it is your will
00:22:41.26\00:22:45.36
to bring the message
of salvation to others.
00:22:45.39\00:22:48.90
And I say to you, if
you look at yourself,
00:22:48.93\00:22:51.73
and you say well,
00:22:51.77\00:22:53.10
I don't really have
capabilities of talking,
00:22:53.13\00:22:55.47
I don't know what to say.
00:22:55.50\00:22:57.74
The Lord will
give you words to say.
00:22:57.77\00:23:00.04
Jesus said, "Go,
I have all power."
00:23:00.08\00:23:02.91
The Lord will give
you the words to say.
00:23:02.94\00:23:05.08
And as a good
friend of mine used to say,
00:23:05.11\00:23:07.88
now passed away,
Pastor Ray Cordell,
00:23:07.92\00:23:10.05
he used to say
that your testimony
00:23:10.09\00:23:13.96
is the most powerful way
you can preach the gospel.
00:23:13.99\00:23:17.19
You can tell people
what God has done for you,
00:23:17.23\00:23:21.63
and no one knows
that story like you do.
00:23:21.66\00:23:25.90
And God has done
many things for you.
00:23:25.93\00:23:28.97
You can bring
the gospel to others
00:23:29.00\00:23:31.54
in many different ways and
is, if you're listening to me,
00:23:31.57\00:23:35.44
and it has been a long time
that you do absolutely nothing,
00:23:35.48\00:23:39.88
this day, this week,
00:23:39.91\00:23:42.65
put yourself in
the hands of the Lord,
00:23:42.68\00:23:44.55
and do everything that
the Lord shows you to do
00:23:44.59\00:23:47.66
to bring the gospel to others.
00:23:47.69\00:23:49.49
And in this way
you will contribute
00:23:49.52\00:23:52.39
to bringing the
everlasting gospel
00:23:52.43\00:23:55.00
to the whole world,
00:23:55.03\00:23:56.70
and I say praise
be to the Lord's name.
00:23:56.73\00:24:00.04
Now the fact that
this angel is flying
00:24:00.07\00:24:03.30
in the midst of heaven,
00:24:03.34\00:24:04.67
this act of flying
into midst of heaven,
00:24:04.71\00:24:07.64
shows not only
that he has to be seen,
00:24:07.68\00:24:11.15
he has to be heard, and
the flying is an aspect,
00:24:11.18\00:24:15.78
in Bible prophecy,
it talks about speed.
00:24:15.82\00:24:18.99
It has to be done quickly.
00:24:19.02\00:24:20.46
It has to be something
that is not done in a slow,
00:24:20.49\00:24:25.59
as you can preach the gospel.
00:24:25.63\00:24:27.13
No, preach the gospel
to every nation, kindred,
00:24:27.16\00:24:30.60
tongue, and
people, and I say to you
00:24:30.63\00:24:33.27
that we have to get the job done
00:24:33.30\00:24:35.77
and by the Lord's
grace it shall be done.
00:24:35.80\00:24:37.91
Jesus said it will be
preached, it's not a possible,
00:24:37.94\00:24:41.98
possibly preached...
00:24:42.01\00:24:43.35
The gospel might possibly
be preached in all the world.
00:24:43.38\00:24:46.61
Perhaps it might be preached,
00:24:46.65\00:24:47.98
it says and this gospel
shall we preach in all the world
00:24:48.02\00:24:51.85
for a witness unto all nations
and then the end shall come.
00:24:51.89\00:24:55.89
So be a part of it,
grab, order some pamphlets,
00:24:55.92\00:25:00.26
order some
booklets, order some books,
00:25:00.30\00:25:02.73
you can even mail them
from your home to other people.
00:25:02.76\00:25:05.17
You can send books
electronically nowadays,
00:25:05.20\00:25:07.64
in PDF forms, in word
or some other type of form,
00:25:07.67\00:25:11.94
so that people can read books.
00:25:11.97\00:25:13.91
There are endless opportunities
00:25:13.94\00:25:16.34
for those that place themselves
in the hands of the Lord.
00:25:16.38\00:25:20.55
Now, take a look at
the fact that this angel
00:25:20.58\00:25:24.52
is said that he is
saying with a loud voice.
00:25:24.55\00:25:29.12
When you say
something with the loud voice,
00:25:29.16\00:25:31.23
it is because
you want to be heard,
00:25:31.26\00:25:34.30
you want people to
hear what you have to say,
00:25:34.33\00:25:36.67
and this angel is said to
be speaking in a loud voice,
00:25:36.70\00:25:42.07
that means it's a
message that has to be heard.
00:25:42.10\00:25:44.64
It's a message that has to reach
00:25:44.67\00:25:46.57
the ears of the people.
00:25:46.61\00:25:48.08
It's a message that
people have to understand
00:25:48.11\00:25:51.18
and under the
power of the Holy Spirit
00:25:51.21\00:25:53.78
we can do it by God's grace.
00:25:53.82\00:25:56.02
We have been called
upon by Jesus himself
00:25:56.05\00:25:58.35
to get it done,
so I urge you to get
00:25:58.39\00:26:01.66
and get yourself in
the hands of the Lord,
00:26:01.69\00:26:04.33
so that it can be done.
00:26:04.36\00:26:07.06
Amen.
00:26:07.10\00:26:08.43
And so as we look
at Revelation 14:6,
00:26:08.46\00:26:13.74
it says that this angel
has the everlasting gospel,
00:26:13.77\00:26:19.24
is the gospel that has
from the very beginning
00:26:19.27\00:26:24.65
been a message that God
has to bring to the world.
00:26:24.68\00:26:28.62
We're talking about
from the beginning of time,
00:26:28.65\00:26:30.45
when sin entered into
the world, the message.
00:26:30.49\00:26:32.85
The everlasting
gospel has to be preached.
00:26:32.89\00:26:35.46
The everlasting
gospel is the message
00:26:35.49\00:26:37.89
that God has a plan of salvation
00:26:37.93\00:26:41.60
and everyone is supposed to
be preached to the uttermost
00:26:41.63\00:26:45.73
and everyone has the
opportunity to be saved,
00:26:45.77\00:26:48.77
everyone has the
possibility of being saved,
00:26:48.80\00:26:53.11
and everyone has
to make a decision.
00:26:53.14\00:26:56.44
You think of the
words of John 3:16,
00:26:56.48\00:26:59.38
"For God so loved the world
00:26:59.41\00:27:01.32
that He gave His
only begotten Son,
00:27:01.35\00:27:04.22
that whosoever, includes anyone,
00:27:04.25\00:27:06.96
believeth in Him
shall not perish,
00:27:06.99\00:27:09.56
but have an everlasting life.
00:27:09.59\00:27:11.43
If you pursue a life of sin,
00:27:11.46\00:27:16.67
you are going to perish,
00:27:16.70\00:27:19.87
but if you
believe in Jesus Christ,
00:27:19.90\00:27:21.80
accept His salvation,
you can have everlasting life
00:27:21.84\00:27:27.01
and this is part of
the everlasting gospel.
00:27:27.04\00:27:29.81
Part of the everlasting
gospel is not that you,
00:27:29.84\00:27:32.25
not only that you can
be forgiven for your sins,
00:27:32.28\00:27:35.38
and I say to you
if you have any sin,
00:27:35.42\00:27:38.19
whatever amount
of sins they are,
00:27:38.22\00:27:39.85
however horrible they may be,
00:27:39.89\00:27:42.06
God can forgive
everyone of them,
00:27:42.09\00:27:44.56
because the precious
blood of Jesus Christ
00:27:44.59\00:27:48.53
makes that possible.
00:27:48.56\00:27:51.33
So come to
Jesus just as you are,
00:27:51.37\00:27:53.70
place yourself in
his hands and say, Lord,
00:27:53.74\00:27:57.14
I have done wicked things.
00:27:57.17\00:27:59.67
I have seen wicked things,
I have shared wicked things,
00:27:59.71\00:28:04.28
I have spoken wicked
things, when I come to you
00:28:04.31\00:28:08.78
and I ask you
for your forgiveness,
00:28:08.82\00:28:11.35
and I claim the
blood of Jesus Christ
00:28:11.39\00:28:13.99
and I accept Jesus
Christ as my personal savior.
00:28:14.02\00:28:17.56
I choose to separate
myself from all the evil
00:28:17.59\00:28:20.26
that I have done, and
I say to you forgive me
00:28:20.30\00:28:24.57
and accept me and
the beautiful thing is,
00:28:24.60\00:28:28.77
the Bible portrays
it in different ways.
00:28:28.80\00:28:31.64
It portrays as if the shepherd
is looking for a lost sheep.
00:28:31.67\00:28:35.68
It portrays as if a son
is coming back to his father
00:28:35.71\00:28:39.48
after going out in the world,
00:28:39.51\00:28:41.25
and spending
everything on wicked living,
00:28:41.28\00:28:44.22
that the father
runs to meet the son.
00:28:44.25\00:28:48.89
And God will
receive you with open arms.
00:28:48.92\00:28:51.09
And Jesus said in John 6:37,
00:28:51.13\00:28:54.00
"He that cometh unto me,
I will in no ways cast out."
00:28:54.03\00:28:58.87
This is the everlasting gospel.
00:28:58.90\00:29:00.77
And the everlasting gospel
00:29:00.80\00:29:02.44
is also that God is not
gonna leave you as you are.
00:29:02.47\00:29:06.37
You are to place
yourself in his hands,
00:29:06.41\00:29:08.44
turn your back on
sin, and walk with Jesus.
00:29:08.48\00:29:11.65
If any man will come
after me, Jesus said,
00:29:11.68\00:29:14.05
let him take up his
cross daily and follow me.
00:29:14.08\00:29:17.49
In other words
you're following Jesus.
00:29:17.52\00:29:19.39
And if you follow
Jesus, you would do as he did.
00:29:19.42\00:29:22.29
Jesus said in John 14:15,
00:29:22.32\00:29:25.29
"If you love me,
keep my commandments."
00:29:25.33\00:29:27.66
In other words
you're gonna choose to walk
00:29:27.70\00:29:30.00
and follow what Jesus did,
00:29:30.03\00:29:33.17
he kept all of his
father's commandments.
00:29:33.20\00:29:35.20
In other words
00:29:35.24\00:29:36.57
you're separating
yourself from the world,
00:29:36.60\00:29:38.57
from the evil of the
world and following Jesus.
00:29:38.61\00:29:41.41
And Jesus is not
gonna leave you as you are,
00:29:41.44\00:29:43.35
he's gonna transform
you into his lightness.
00:29:43.38\00:29:47.22
This is the part of
the everlasting gospel.
00:29:47.25\00:29:49.28
It's not just that
you'll be forgiven,
00:29:49.32\00:29:51.05
is that you'll be transformed,
changed into a new person,
00:29:51.09\00:29:55.39
a new creation, and
old things are passed away,
00:29:55.42\00:29:58.69
all things become new
00:29:58.73\00:30:00.16
and as you
continue following Jesus,
00:30:00.20\00:30:02.20
he will
continue to transform you
00:30:02.23\00:30:04.43
into his likeness.
00:30:04.47\00:30:06.20
It is the everlasting gospel.
00:30:06.23\00:30:10.17
So we see that in John 14,
00:30:10.21\00:30:13.61
we have the message
that the angel speaks.
00:30:13.64\00:30:18.55
Matthew 24:14,
00:30:18.58\00:30:20.65
we said that this is a message
that has to go to the world,
00:30:20.68\00:30:23.42
and this message is a
message for every kindred,
00:30:23.45\00:30:28.69
tongue, and people
for every language,
00:30:28.72\00:30:30.29
for every nation we
cannot leave a nation out,
00:30:30.33\00:30:34.33
everyone has to be included.
00:30:34.36\00:30:36.90
Now let's look at
what the angel said,
00:30:36.93\00:30:39.47
remember the angel has
the everlasting gospel.
00:30:39.50\00:30:45.51
So the messengers of God
00:30:45.54\00:30:46.88
are to have the
everlasting gospel,
00:30:46.91\00:30:48.58
it's a pure gospel,
00:30:48.61\00:30:50.15
the fact that is
an angel talks to you
00:30:50.18\00:30:52.35
about the purity of the
message that should be sent
00:30:52.38\00:30:56.05
or given to the people.
00:30:56.08\00:30:58.52
It is not a
message of human origin,
00:30:58.55\00:31:02.62
it's a message of divine origin,
00:31:02.66\00:31:04.29
so you need to be come
familiar with God's word,
00:31:04.33\00:31:07.63
so you can preach the
pure message of the gospel.
00:31:07.66\00:31:11.93
So one of the things that
is interesting to consider
00:31:11.97\00:31:15.04
as we look at the
first angel's message is,
00:31:15.07\00:31:18.14
that he has the
everlasting gospel,
00:31:18.17\00:31:20.28
so therefore what he says
00:31:20.31\00:31:23.18
is part of the
everlasting gospel.
00:31:23.21\00:31:26.01
So what is it
that the angel says?
00:31:26.05\00:31:28.25
For this we need to
turn to Revelation 14.
00:31:28.28\00:31:32.42
We have talked a little
bit about Revelation 14:6.
00:31:32.45\00:31:36.16
Let us move now
into Revelation 14:7,
00:31:36.19\00:31:41.40
because as I
mention what the angels says
00:31:41.43\00:31:44.87
is part of the
everlasting gospel.
00:31:44.90\00:31:47.57
What is it that he says?
Let's read verse 7 once again.
00:31:47.60\00:31:51.04
"Saying with a
loud voice, fear God,
00:31:51.07\00:31:53.98
and give glory to him,
00:31:54.01\00:31:55.54
for the hour of his
judgment is come and worship him
00:31:55.58\00:31:59.35
that made heaven,
and earth, and the sea,
00:31:59.38\00:32:01.72
and the fountains of waters."
00:32:01.75\00:32:04.29
So the first thing that we have
the angel saying is fear God,
00:32:04.32\00:32:10.79
so we have to ask a question,
what does it mean to fear God?
00:32:10.83\00:32:15.66
That means to
have reverence for God.
00:32:15.70\00:32:19.27
That means to be in awe of God.
00:32:19.30\00:32:21.70
Let's look at a few scriptures
that help us understand
00:32:21.74\00:32:24.94
what it means to fear God.
00:32:24.97\00:32:27.41
The first one that
we're gonna look at
00:32:30.95\00:32:33.68
is 1 Timothy 6:15 and 16.
00:32:33.72\00:32:38.69
1 Timothy 6:15 and 16,
00:32:38.72\00:32:43.32
and here we have
the following words.
00:32:43.36\00:32:46.16
"Which in his
times he will show,
00:32:46.19\00:32:50.03
who is the blessed
and only Potentate,
00:32:50.07\00:32:53.77
the King of
kings, and Lord of lords,
00:32:53.80\00:32:56.84
Who only hath immortality,
00:32:56.87\00:33:00.34
dwelling in the light
which no man can approach unto,
00:33:00.38\00:33:05.28
whom no man hath
seen, nor can see:
00:33:05.31\00:33:08.55
to whom be honor
and power everlasting.
00:33:08.58\00:33:13.62
Amen."
00:33:13.66\00:33:16.16
So we have to
understand that God is holy
00:33:16.19\00:33:20.06
and dwells in a light
which no man can approach unto,
00:33:20.10\00:33:23.97
so we should fear
God for these reasons,
00:33:24.00\00:33:26.50
stand in awe and reverence him.
00:33:26.53\00:33:29.77
We're gonna talk in a moment
00:33:29.80\00:33:31.14
about how light
people use God's name.
00:33:31.17\00:33:34.51
Before we do that,
let's go to Psalm 24.
00:33:34.54\00:33:38.88
Psalm 24 and we're going
to look at verses 3, 4 and 5.
00:33:38.91\00:33:44.45
Psalm 24:3, 4 and 5.
00:33:44.49\00:33:49.32
I have it already in my notes.
00:33:49.36\00:33:52.09
So I will read it from on there.
00:33:52.13\00:33:55.90
Matthew 24: 3-5.
00:33:55.93\00:33:58.90
"Who shall ascend
into the hill of the Lord?
00:33:58.93\00:34:01.90
Or who shall stand in his place?
00:34:01.94\00:34:04.77
He that hath clean
hands, and a pure heart,
00:34:04.81\00:34:08.34
who hath not lifted
up his soul unto vanity,
00:34:08.38\00:34:11.51
nor sworn deceitfully.
00:34:11.55\00:34:13.58
He shall receive the
blessing from the Lord,
00:34:13.62\00:34:16.18
and righteousness from
the God of his salvation."
00:34:16.22\00:34:21.16
You have to have what?
00:34:21.19\00:34:22.52
It says here clean hands,
those are the things you do,
00:34:22.56\00:34:26.49
and a pure heart, the
things you think about.
00:34:26.53\00:34:30.57
And so in other words,
00:34:30.60\00:34:32.37
you have to put
these things behind you.
00:34:32.40\00:34:34.94
Speaking bad
things, thinking bad things,
00:34:34.97\00:34:37.44
doing bad things,
00:34:37.47\00:34:38.84
before you stand in
the presence of the Lord.
00:34:38.87\00:34:41.01
Worry it not for the
wonderful forgiveness
00:34:41.04\00:34:44.41
and cleansing that
Jesus Christ does in us
00:34:44.45\00:34:49.18
through his precious holy blood,
00:34:49.22\00:34:52.39
we could not stand in
the presence of an Almighty,
00:34:52.42\00:34:55.82
Holy God.
00:34:55.86\00:34:57.59
So I say to you, we
are completely dependent
00:34:57.63\00:35:00.23
and Jesus
cleansing us from all sin
00:35:00.26\00:35:03.00
before we could even present
ourselves before the Lord.
00:35:03.03\00:35:08.04
And as you consider this,
00:35:08.07\00:35:10.21
please understand that to
even use his name in vain,
00:35:10.24\00:35:14.88
in common conversation
is a horrendous sin.
00:35:14.91\00:35:19.88
People lightly use
God's name and even profanity.
00:35:19.91\00:35:24.29
This is horrible
and they should stop
00:35:24.32\00:35:27.19
right at the moment
the person understands
00:35:27.22\00:35:30.29
that he is doing something wrong
00:35:30.33\00:35:32.83
and so, praise the Lord for 3ABN
00:35:32.86\00:35:36.13
that is helping
people to understand this.
00:35:36.16\00:35:38.83
And God's people should
help other people understand
00:35:38.87\00:35:41.90
that to takes God's
name in vain is even a sin
00:35:41.94\00:35:45.07
because it is written
in one of the commandment.
00:35:45.11\00:35:49.01
So as we consider
what it is to fear God,
00:35:49.04\00:35:53.15
let us go to
Exodus 24:16 and 17.
00:35:53.18\00:35:57.12
Exodus 24:16 and 17.
00:35:57.15\00:36:01.89
"And the glory of the
Lord abode upon Mount Sinai,
00:36:01.92\00:36:06.26
and the cloud
covered it six days:
00:36:06.29\00:36:09.06
and the seventh day
he called unto Moses
00:36:09.10\00:36:11.73
out of the midst of the cloud.
00:36:11.77\00:36:14.27
And the sight of
the glory of the Lord
00:36:14.30\00:36:17.21
was like a devouring
fire on the top of the mount
00:36:17.24\00:36:21.38
in the eyes of the
children of Israel."
00:36:21.41\00:36:25.41
Oh, if you continue reading,
00:36:25.45\00:36:27.25
you'll notice that
the people of Israel,
00:36:27.28\00:36:29.88
shook the mountain
00:36:29.92\00:36:32.69
when God manifested
himself on the mountain,
00:36:32.72\00:36:34.99
the mountain was
shaking, the ground was shaking,
00:36:35.02\00:36:37.49
and there were
lightnings and fire
00:36:37.53\00:36:39.93
and they feared God
00:36:39.96\00:36:42.46
because of his
power and holiness.
00:36:42.50\00:36:46.17
So at this moment if
you're hearing my voice
00:36:46.20\00:36:49.77
and you have as
a common practice
00:36:49.80\00:36:51.27
just to say God's
name and common talk,
00:36:51.31\00:36:53.91
common language or even
use God's name in profanity,
00:36:53.94\00:36:57.55
I urge you to ask the
Lord to help you put that
00:36:57.58\00:37:01.08
to a complete stop
00:37:01.12\00:37:03.55
and live your life
in a different manner.
00:37:03.59\00:37:07.72
Notice again as John,
00:37:07.76\00:37:12.46
the apostle saw what
he saw in Revelation 1:17.
00:37:12.49\00:37:17.57
Revelation 1:17, we
have the following words.
00:37:17.60\00:37:21.37
And when I saw him, I
fell at his feet as dead.
00:37:21.40\00:37:27.01
And he laid his right
hand upon me, saying unto me,
00:37:27.04\00:37:31.21
fear not, for I am
the first and the last."
00:37:31.25\00:37:36.89
This is none
other than Jesus Christ.
00:37:36.92\00:37:39.42
You may remember
the glory of an angel
00:37:39.45\00:37:42.19
when Jesus was in the tomb
00:37:42.22\00:37:44.66
and the angel was
sent to resurrect him.
00:37:44.69\00:37:47.43
The men or the Roman soldiers
that were there by the tomb,
00:37:47.46\00:37:51.27
when they saw the
angel, they were horrified
00:37:51.30\00:37:55.60
and they fell as dead men,
that's the glory of an angel.
00:37:55.64\00:37:59.77
Imagine the glory of God
00:37:59.81\00:38:02.44
when he fully reveals his glory.
00:38:02.48\00:38:06.82
So I say to you fear God,
00:38:06.85\00:38:08.38
and don't take his name in vain.
00:38:08.42\00:38:11.29
We should reverence God's name
00:38:11.32\00:38:14.26
and that means to
hold in deep respect
00:38:14.29\00:38:16.99
and admiration.
00:38:17.03\00:38:19.16
The commandment that tells
us that we need to be careful
00:38:19.19\00:38:24.13
using God's name is
found in Exodus 20:7.
00:38:24.17\00:38:28.47
Exodus 20:7, let's
look at that verse.
00:38:28.50\00:38:32.67
"Thou shalt not take the name
of the Lord thy God in vain,
00:38:32.71\00:38:37.71
for the Lord will
not hold him guiltless
00:38:37.75\00:38:40.75
that takes his name in vain."
00:38:40.78\00:38:42.95
So I urge you to
examine your speech,
00:38:42.98\00:38:46.42
and see if you're
using God's name in vain
00:38:46.45\00:38:49.62
and I urge you to
put it rest, to stop.
00:38:49.66\00:38:54.73
So this is something
that needs to be done
00:38:54.76\00:38:58.80
and I urge you to do it.
00:38:58.83\00:39:00.94
We should speak of God
with solemnity and reverence
00:39:00.97\00:39:05.11
instead of just common language
00:39:05.14\00:39:07.01
or using God's name in
profanity or even jokes.
00:39:07.04\00:39:12.61
We should fear
God, and give glory Him.
00:39:12.65\00:39:15.18
Speaking of what
it is to fear God,
00:39:15.22\00:39:18.32
I like to invite you
now to the Book of Proverbs.
00:39:18.35\00:39:21.86
And the Book Proverbs
also helps us to understand
00:39:21.89\00:39:24.83
what it means to fear God.
00:39:24.86\00:39:27.10
Proverbs 8:13,
00:39:27.13\00:39:30.23
it's like a definition of
how what it is to fear God.
00:39:30.27\00:39:34.00
Proverbs 8:13,
00:39:34.04\00:39:36.67
"The fear of the
Lord is to hate evil:
00:39:36.71\00:39:42.81
pride, and
arrogance, and the evil way,
00:39:42.84\00:39:46.28
and the froward
mouth, do I hate."
00:39:46.31\00:39:48.68
So what is it to fear God?
00:39:48.72\00:39:50.75
It's to hate evil,
and pride and arrogance.
00:39:50.79\00:39:57.03
Human being such as you and I,
00:39:57.06\00:39:58.83
this idea of hating evil
00:39:58.86\00:40:03.43
is not something that
we can do of ourselves.
00:40:03.47\00:40:07.40
It is only when Jesus
Christ dwells in your heart
00:40:07.44\00:40:11.17
that you can learn to hate evil.
00:40:11.21\00:40:13.78
He is the only one
that can help you hate evil,
00:40:13.81\00:40:17.48
so as Jesus said
take up your cross daily
00:40:17.51\00:40:21.88
and follow him.
00:40:21.92\00:40:23.25
So what do you mean by
taking up your cross daily?
00:40:23.28\00:40:24.62
What in the
world does that mean?
00:40:24.65\00:40:26.62
That means that you
choose to take your cross,
00:40:26.65\00:40:32.76
that means, that you're
gonna put to death self,
00:40:32.79\00:40:37.70
that means that you're putting
to death your way of living,
00:40:37.73\00:40:41.67
your way of
speaking, your way of acting
00:40:41.70\00:40:44.24
and you're gonna follow Jesus,
00:40:44.27\00:40:45.91
and by his grace
do as he would do,
00:40:45.94\00:40:48.74
speak as he would speak,
and think as he would think.
00:40:48.78\00:40:52.88
This can only be
done by allowing Jesus
00:40:52.91\00:40:55.28
to come into your heart,
00:40:55.32\00:40:56.65
and this is why Jesus is
pictured in Revelation 3:20,
00:40:56.69\00:40:59.95
"Behold I stand at
the door and knock,
00:40:59.99\00:41:03.02
if any man hears my
voice and opens the door,
00:41:03.06\00:41:06.76
I will come into
him and support him
00:41:06.80\00:41:09.63
and he with me."
00:41:09.66\00:41:11.47
We read in Proverbs 8:13,
00:41:11.50\00:41:14.04
"The fear of the
Lord is to hate evil:
00:41:14.07\00:41:17.57
pride, and
arrogance, and the evil way,
00:41:17.61\00:41:19.47
and the froward
mouth, do I hate.
00:41:19.51\00:41:21.51
Psalms 34:11 helps us further
to understand what it is,
00:41:21.54\00:41:26.61
the fear of the Lord.
00:41:26.65\00:41:27.98
Psalms 34:11,
00:41:28.02\00:41:33.25
and in Psalms 34,
00:41:33.29\00:41:35.09
coming all the way
to the Book of Job.
00:41:35.12\00:41:36.69
Let's go to the
Book of Psalm 34:11,
00:41:36.73\00:41:40.26
here are the words of the Lord,
00:41:40.30\00:41:41.70
"Come, ye
children, He hearken unto me:
00:41:41.73\00:41:45.63
I will teach you
the fear of the Lord."
00:41:45.67\00:41:49.64
So when we read
in Proverbs 8:13,
00:41:49.67\00:41:53.48
that to fear the
Lord is to hate evil,
00:41:53.51\00:41:55.58
and in Psalms
34, it tells us come,
00:41:55.61\00:41:57.85
I will teach you
the fear of the Lord.
00:41:57.88\00:42:01.18
So to fear the Lord,
00:42:01.22\00:42:03.32
we must come to the Lord
to learn how to fear the Lord.
00:42:03.35\00:42:07.76
In Job 28:28,
00:42:07.79\00:42:10.23
Job 28:28, we have
the following words.
00:42:10.26\00:42:13.29
"And unto man he said,
Behold, the fear of the Lord,
00:42:13.33\00:42:18.33
that is wisdom, and to depart
from evil is understanding."
00:42:18.37\00:42:23.67
To depart from
evil is understanding.
00:42:23.71\00:42:25.64
In Ecclesiastes 12: 13,
00:42:25.67\00:42:28.21
I would just read
this from my notes.
00:42:28.24\00:42:29.84
Ecclesiastes 12:13,
00:42:29.88\00:42:32.35
"Let us hear the conclusion
about the whole matter,
00:42:32.38\00:42:36.05
fear God, and
keep his commandments,
00:42:36.08\00:42:40.42
for this is the
whole duty of man."
00:42:40.46\00:42:44.69
So what is the
whole duty of man?
00:42:44.73\00:42:46.80
Fear God and hate evil.
00:42:46.83\00:42:50.37
Be in all of God, reverence him,
00:42:50.40\00:42:54.54
and keep his commandments,
this is our whole duty.
00:42:54.57\00:42:58.64
The Bible says,
and so I encourage you
00:42:58.67\00:43:02.18
to place yourself
00:43:02.21\00:43:03.88
in right
relationship with the Lord,
00:43:03.91\00:43:07.08
that you may fear God hate
evil and depart from all evil.
00:43:07.12\00:43:13.76
And by God's grace
as we read in Psalms 34,
00:43:13.79\00:43:17.63
if we place
ourselves in the hands of Lord,
00:43:17.66\00:43:19.46
He will teach us
how to hate evil.
00:43:19.49\00:43:23.13
Psalms 34:11.
00:43:23.16\00:43:25.83
So let's go back
to Revelation 14:7
00:43:25.87\00:43:30.01
and pick up the
next part of the verse,
00:43:30.04\00:43:32.67
Revelation 14:7,
00:43:32.71\00:43:34.71
the angel said with
the loud voice fear God
00:43:34.74\00:43:37.85
and give glory to him.
00:43:37.88\00:43:40.02
Let us deal with
that aspect of the verse,
00:43:40.05\00:43:42.78
give glory to him.
00:43:42.82\00:43:44.15
God's glory is his character.
God's glory is his character.
00:43:44.19\00:43:49.99
I like to invite you to
quickly join me in Exodus 33:18.
00:43:50.03\00:43:54.96
Exodus 33:18, God's
glory is his character.
00:43:55.00\00:43:58.57
Notice the
conversation that takes place
00:43:58.60\00:44:01.20
here in Exodus 33:18,
00:44:01.24\00:44:03.54
Moses speaking to the Lord says,
00:44:03.57\00:44:05.37
"And he said, I beseech
thee, show me thy glory."
00:44:05.41\00:44:12.18
Moses said show me thy glory.
00:44:12.21\00:44:14.45
Notice how God
responds to Moses.
00:44:14.48\00:44:17.15
Exodus 33:19, "And he said,
00:44:17.19\00:44:20.19
I will make all my
goodness pass before thee,
00:44:20.22\00:44:24.56
and I will proclaim the
name of the Lord before thee,
00:44:24.59\00:44:28.00
and will be gracious to
whom I will be gracious,
00:44:28.03\00:44:30.80
and will show mercy on
whom I will show mercy."
00:44:30.83\00:44:34.74
So he said he was
gonna proclaim his goodness,
00:44:34.77\00:44:37.27
those are
attributes of his character.
00:44:37.31\00:44:40.64
Furthermore, he said,
00:44:40.68\00:44:42.74
that he will
proclaim his name before him.
00:44:42.78\00:44:46.55
In Exodus 34:1,
for in order for Moses
00:44:46.58\00:44:52.19
to see His glory,
to see God's glory,
00:44:52.22\00:44:56.29
God was gonna proclaim
00:44:56.32\00:44:58.03
the attributes of his character.
00:44:58.06\00:45:00.10
Notice what he told Moses to do.
00:45:00.13\00:45:03.23
Exodus 34:1, "And
the Lord said unto Moses,
00:45:03.26\00:45:06.43
Hew thee two tables of
stone like unto the first:
00:45:06.47\00:45:09.84
and I will write upon
these tables the words
00:45:09.87\00:45:12.74
that were in the first
tables, which thou brakest."
00:45:12.77\00:45:15.78
In other words, Moses
broke the Ten Commandments
00:45:15.81\00:45:18.71
that God had given him,
00:45:18.75\00:45:20.88
and now they
have to be replaced,
00:45:20.92\00:45:23.75
and part of that
process was for God
00:45:23.79\00:45:27.76
to show Moses his glory.
00:45:27.79\00:45:30.86
And notice what God did,
00:45:30.89\00:45:33.66
when he was
showing Moses his glory.
00:45:33.70\00:45:38.60
Exodus 34:5, 6 and 7.
00:45:38.63\00:45:41.77
"And the Lord
descended in the cloud,
00:45:41.80\00:45:44.04
and stood with him there,
00:45:44.07\00:45:45.64
and proclaimed
the name of the Lord.
00:45:45.67\00:45:48.48
Attributes of his character.
00:45:48.51\00:45:50.15
And the Lord
passed by before him,
00:45:50.18\00:45:52.05
and proclaimed,
The Lord, The Lord God,
00:45:52.08\00:45:55.15
merciful and gracious,
attributes of his character,
00:45:55.18\00:45:58.55
longsuffering,
00:45:58.59\00:45:59.92
and abundant in
goodness and truth,
00:45:59.95\00:46:03.06
Keeping mercy for
thousands, forgiving iniquity
00:46:03.09\00:46:06.83
and transgression and sin,
00:46:06.86\00:46:08.96
and that will by no
means clear the guilty,
00:46:09.00\00:46:12.23
visiting the
iniquity of the fathers
00:46:12.27\00:46:14.04
upon the children,
00:46:14.07\00:46:15.40
and upon the
children's children,
00:46:15.44\00:46:16.77
unto the third and to
the fourth generation."
00:46:16.81\00:46:20.24
So notice what he did.
00:46:20.28\00:46:21.98
Give me two tables of stone,
prepare two tables of stone,
00:46:22.01\00:46:25.08
and God proclaimed
attributes of his character.
00:46:25.11\00:46:29.42
Why are we saying these things?
00:46:29.45\00:46:31.89
To give glory to God is
also to characterize him.
00:46:31.92\00:46:37.46
And so the Ten
Commandments are virtually,
00:46:37.49\00:46:40.73
literally a
transcript of God's character.
00:46:40.76\00:46:45.73
The first four commandments,
00:46:45.77\00:46:48.97
you'll notice speak about
our relationship with the Lord.
00:46:49.00\00:46:53.88
And as we speak about our
relationship with the Lord,
00:46:53.91\00:46:57.35
the first four commandments
00:46:57.38\00:47:00.22
that talks about our
relationship with the Lord,
00:47:00.25\00:47:01.58
reminds us of what Jesus say,
00:47:01.62\00:47:03.02
this is the first
and great commandment.
00:47:03.05\00:47:04.75
Love the Lord your
God with all your heart,
00:47:04.79\00:47:06.55
with all your
mind, with all your soul,
00:47:06.59\00:47:08.06
with all your strength.
00:47:08.09\00:47:09.42
This is the first
and great commandment.
00:47:09.46\00:47:12.09
The second part of
the Ten Commandments.
00:47:12.13\00:47:15.30
The second part of
the Ten Commandments
00:47:15.33\00:47:16.97
deal with our relationship
with our fellow man.
00:47:17.00\00:47:20.70
Thou should not kill,
thou should not steal,
00:47:20.74\00:47:23.27
honor your
father and your mother,
00:47:23.30\00:47:24.64
I'm not saying them in sequence,
00:47:24.67\00:47:26.27
and etcetera, etcetera.
00:47:26.31\00:47:28.78
And so these Ten Commandments
00:47:28.81\00:47:31.78
are a transcript
of God's character,
00:47:31.81\00:47:34.18
and if you live by them,
you will be following God,
00:47:34.22\00:47:40.06
you will be glorifying God,
you will be characterizing God
00:47:40.09\00:47:43.39
because this is the way God is.
00:47:43.43\00:47:46.96
So in other words, to fear God,
00:47:47.00\00:47:50.57
that means to characterize him,
00:47:50.60\00:47:54.50
and so and give glory to
him means to characterize him,
00:47:54.54\00:47:58.34
God's glory is his character.
00:47:58.37\00:48:01.51
Yes, we look at,
when we look at God
00:48:01.54\00:48:03.91
and we see the light that
is, we're not even able to bear
00:48:03.95\00:48:09.95
and shall we think
of that's his glory.
00:48:09.98\00:48:11.95
But that's yes,
that's his glory,
00:48:11.99\00:48:13.72
but also his
character is his glory.
00:48:13.76\00:48:17.06
In fact I like to
read to you from a book
00:48:17.09\00:48:19.89
called Christ Object
Lessons, page 415 and 416,
00:48:19.93\00:48:24.23
Christ Object
Lessons has a message
00:48:24.27\00:48:26.30
and it's explained in
better words than I could.
00:48:26.33\00:48:28.90
So I would like to summarize
we need to say in these words.
00:48:28.94\00:48:32.97
The last message of
mercy to be given to the world
00:48:33.01\00:48:38.38
is a revelation of
his character of love.
00:48:38.41\00:48:42.48
That's through you and me.
00:48:42.52\00:48:44.59
The children of God
are to manifest his glory
00:48:44.62\00:48:48.12
in their own life and
character they are to reveal
00:48:48.16\00:48:52.19
what the grace of
God has done for them.
00:48:52.23\00:48:56.93
Praise be to God.
00:48:56.97\00:48:58.43
So to give glory to
God is to characterize him,
00:48:58.47\00:49:02.80
that's the highest
form of giving glory to God.
00:49:02.84\00:49:07.24
Yes, you can give glory
to God by praising his name
00:49:07.28\00:49:11.58
and saying thank you Lord,
and you're great and marvelous,
00:49:11.61\00:49:15.65
you're my
creator, your words express
00:49:15.68\00:49:19.95
also that you're
giving glory to God.
00:49:19.99\00:49:23.66
In Romans 13, Romans
13:10, the Bible tells us,
00:49:23.69\00:49:29.20
"Love worketh no
ill to his neighbour,
00:49:29.23\00:49:33.13
therefore love is the
fulfilling of the law."
00:49:33.17\00:49:36.47
Matthew 22:38, 39 and 40,
speaking of the commandments.
00:49:36.50\00:49:43.35
"This is the first
and great commandment,
00:49:43.38\00:49:45.31
Jesus said.
00:49:45.35\00:49:46.68
And the second is like unto it,
00:49:46.72\00:49:51.15
Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.
00:49:51.19\00:49:53.76
On these two commandments hang
all the law and the prophets."
00:49:53.79\00:49:58.06
I should read Matthew
22:37, we already quoted it
00:49:58.09\00:50:02.50
which is to "Love the Lord
your God with all your heart,
00:50:02.53\00:50:05.53
and with all your soul,
and with all your mind."
00:50:05.57\00:50:07.44
This is the first
and great commandment.
00:50:07.47\00:50:09.20
The second is love
your neighbour as yourself.
00:50:09.24\00:50:12.31
So my brothers and sisters,
00:50:12.34\00:50:13.74
those that are listening
to give glory to God is,
00:50:13.78\00:50:17.15
not only with words,
00:50:17.18\00:50:18.51
but also to characterize
him and remember it says,
00:50:18.55\00:50:22.48
in the Bible in
Matthew 5:13, 14,
00:50:22.52\00:50:27.59
it says, let your light,
therefore so shine before men,
00:50:27.62\00:50:30.96
that they may
see your good words
00:50:30.99\00:50:32.33
and glorify your
father which is in heaven.
00:50:32.36\00:50:37.40
As we continue we
like to invite you
00:50:37.43\00:50:39.37
to turn to Hebrews 1, Hebrews 1.
00:50:39.40\00:50:43.71
Notice the words of
Hebrews 1:1, 2 and 3.
00:50:43.74\00:50:49.64
"God, who at sundry times
00:50:49.68\00:50:51.65
and in divers
manners spake in time
00:50:51.68\00:50:53.75
past unto the
fathers by the prophets,
00:50:53.78\00:50:56.69
Hath in these last days
spoken unto us by his Son,
00:50:56.72\00:51:00.72
whom he hath
appointed heir of all things,
00:51:00.76\00:51:03.12
by whom also he made the worlds,
00:51:03.16\00:51:05.33
Who being the
brightness of his glory,
00:51:05.36\00:51:08.83
and the express
image of his person,
00:51:08.86\00:51:11.03
and upholding all things
by the word of his power,
00:51:11.07\00:51:14.40
when he had by
himself purged our sins,
00:51:14.44\00:51:16.94
sat down on the right
hand of the Majesty on high."
00:51:16.97\00:51:21.91
These words found in verse 3,
00:51:21.94\00:51:24.98
express image
is the Hebrew word,
00:51:25.01\00:51:28.28
I mean the Greek word Charakter,
00:51:28.32\00:51:31.99
which means character.
00:51:32.02\00:51:34.92
So Jesus was the,
00:51:34.96\00:51:36.29
express image was
the character of God.
00:51:36.32\00:51:39.46
He manifested
the character of God
00:51:39.49\00:51:41.73
as he was on earth.
00:51:41.76\00:51:43.60
And for you and I
too, give glory to God
00:51:43.63\00:51:47.70
the best way is
to characterize him
00:51:47.74\00:51:50.57
by following him and
obeying his commandments.
00:51:50.61\00:51:55.81
Notice in Luke 17:17 and
18, we need to give glory to God
00:51:55.84\00:52:01.65
by praising His name
for the wonderful things
00:52:01.68\00:52:03.79
he does for us.
00:52:03.82\00:52:05.15
Luke 17:17 and 18,
"And Jesus answering said,
00:52:05.19\00:52:10.89
We're not ten cleansed?
But where are the nine?
00:52:10.93\00:52:15.40
There are not found that
returned to give glory to God,
00:52:15.43\00:52:18.30
save this stranger."
00:52:18.33\00:52:21.00
As I've read these two
verses you'll recognize
00:52:21.04\00:52:23.37
that 10 lepers came to Jesus
and said, have mercy on us,
00:52:23.41\00:52:26.98
have mercy on us, and he says
go show yourself to the priest
00:52:27.01\00:52:30.85
and as they obeyed his voice
00:52:30.88\00:52:32.91
and started
walking to show themselves
00:52:32.95\00:52:35.68
to the priest
they were cleansed,
00:52:35.72\00:52:37.69
they were made
whole, Jesus healed them.
00:52:37.72\00:52:42.12
And only one of them
return to give thanks to Jesus
00:52:42.16\00:52:48.30
and praise God's name.
00:52:48.33\00:52:50.53
So the words of
Jesus in verse 18
00:52:50.57\00:52:53.87
are there not found,
00:52:53.90\00:52:55.90
only one is here
to give glory to God,
00:52:55.94\00:52:59.81
so the words of
expressions of gratitude to God,
00:52:59.84\00:53:04.15
we give glory to him.
00:53:04.18\00:53:07.78
Remember Matthew 5:16,
is not 14, Matthew 5:16,
00:53:07.82\00:53:11.62
I said Matthew
5:14 previously, it's,
00:53:11.65\00:53:14.12
"Let your light
so shine before men,
00:53:14.16\00:53:16.49
that they may
see your good works,
00:53:16.52\00:53:18.56
and glorify your
Father which is in heaven."
00:53:18.59\00:53:22.66
So I say to you
is there another way
00:53:22.70\00:53:24.73
we can give glory to God,
00:53:24.77\00:53:26.27
one way in which we
can give glory to God
00:53:26.30\00:53:29.20
is found in 1
Corinthians 6:19 and 20,
00:53:29.24\00:53:33.64
we're gonna have to hurry
00:53:33.68\00:53:35.01
because our time is almost over.
00:53:35.04\00:53:37.18
1 Corinthians
6:19 and 20. "What?
00:53:37.21\00:53:41.18
Know ye not that your body
is the temple of the Holy Ghost
00:53:41.22\00:53:45.79
which is in you,
which ye have of God,
00:53:45.82\00:53:48.86
and ye are not your own?
00:53:48.89\00:53:50.79
For ye are bought with a price:
00:53:50.83\00:53:52.56
therefore
glorify God in your body,
00:53:52.59\00:53:56.00
and in your
spirit, which are God's."
00:53:56.03\00:54:00.27
So verse 20 tells us
00:54:00.30\00:54:02.37
that we are to
glorify God in your body.
00:54:02.40\00:54:05.81
How do you
glorify God in your body?
00:54:05.84\00:54:11.28
This is helping us to understand
00:54:11.31\00:54:14.05
that we cannot
just put in our mouth,
00:54:14.08\00:54:16.79
just anything that pleases
us, anything that taste good.
00:54:16.82\00:54:21.99
We have to be temperate,
we have to be cautious
00:54:22.02\00:54:27.23
about what we put
in our mouth to eat,
00:54:27.26\00:54:30.10
because it can cause us,
it cause damage to our health,
00:54:30.13\00:54:34.27
and it could cause us
to do damage to the temple
00:54:34.30\00:54:38.37
that God has given us.
00:54:38.41\00:54:39.94
Our body is the
temple of the Holy Spirit.
00:54:39.97\00:54:43.51
And as our body is the
temple of the Holy Spirit,
00:54:43.55\00:54:46.01
we should not do anything
that will harm our body,
00:54:46.05\00:54:50.49
excess of eating,
even lack of eating.
00:54:50.52\00:54:53.59
And so we have
to be very careful
00:54:53.62\00:54:56.36
with what we put in our body,
00:54:56.39\00:54:57.73
because we are to
glorify God in our body.
00:54:57.76\00:55:01.60
So this is what we
could call the health message.
00:55:01.63\00:55:05.33
A message that
we should be careful
00:55:05.37\00:55:08.20
about what we eat and drink,
00:55:08.24\00:55:10.21
so that our body could
be in optimum condition
00:55:10.24\00:55:13.01
to glorify God.
00:55:13.04\00:55:14.38
We are to
glorify God in our body.
00:55:14.41\00:55:16.48
There are many benefits
00:55:16.51\00:55:18.35
to following the
health principles
00:55:18.38\00:55:21.15
found in the Bible
00:55:21.18\00:55:22.92
that help us to
understand the diet
00:55:22.95\00:55:25.45
that will be of best
benefit, for you and for me.
00:55:25.49\00:55:30.33
So I would like to encourage you
00:55:30.36\00:55:32.03
to look at your habits
of eating, and drinking
00:55:32.06\00:55:34.86
and if they're not
in line with the Bible,
00:55:34.90\00:55:36.73
you can look at Leviticus
11, they're not in line,
00:55:36.77\00:55:40.04
you can look in
Genesis in the beginning
00:55:40.07\00:55:41.70
and see the original diet,
and follow that and you'll know
00:55:41.74\00:55:45.67
that you can
glorify God in your body.
00:55:45.71\00:55:48.21
And so a lot of people,
00:55:48.24\00:55:51.05
the majority of what
they eat is a lot of sweet,
00:55:51.08\00:55:53.88
a lot of grease,
00:55:53.92\00:55:55.75
things that are
going to harm you.
00:55:55.78\00:55:58.15
And some people use things
00:55:58.19\00:55:59.89
they're not even supposed
to enter into your system,
00:55:59.92\00:56:01.92
cigarette
smoking, drugs, alcohol,
00:56:01.96\00:56:05.43
and all these type of
things damage your body,
00:56:05.46\00:56:09.16
therefore I urge
you to leave them
00:56:09.20\00:56:11.70
as soon as you hear this message
00:56:11.73\00:56:14.44
as God to give
you power over them.
00:56:14.47\00:56:17.21
And so as we fear God
and give glory to him,
00:56:17.24\00:56:20.54
we understand that
we are to glorify him
00:56:20.58\00:56:24.58
with the things we
say, the things we do,
00:56:24.61\00:56:27.48
and what things we think about.
00:56:27.52\00:56:29.28
And we glorify God in our body.
00:56:29.32\00:56:31.22
We have talked about
the first angel's message,
00:56:31.25\00:56:33.36
this is part one.
00:56:33.39\00:56:34.76
We're going to go into part two,
00:56:34.79\00:56:36.32
because there are
other things the angel said
00:56:36.36\00:56:38.59
which are part of
the everlasting gospel
00:56:38.63\00:56:41.06
that we need to consider.
00:56:41.10\00:56:42.66
We have to
consider that the message
00:56:42.70\00:56:46.87
that the first
angel has is a message
00:56:46.90\00:56:49.17
that the whole
world needs to understand
00:56:49.20\00:56:51.31
to every nation,
kindred, tongue and people.
00:56:51.34\00:56:54.28
I encourage you and
invite you to be here with us
00:56:54.31\00:56:56.98
for part two of the
first angel's message.
00:56:57.01\00:56:59.65
We'll see you next time.
00:56:59.68\00:57:01.02
