I want to spend my life
00:00:01.96\00:00:07.87
Mending broken people
00:00:07.90\00:00:12.71
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.74\00:00:19.01
Removing pain
00:00:19.05\00:00:24.09
Lord, let my words
00:00:24.12\00:00:27.62
Let my words
00:00:27.66\00:00:30.36
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.39\00:00:34.86
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.90\00:00:40.50
Mending broken people
00:00:40.54\00:00:46.11
I want to spend my life
00:00:46.14\00:00:51.65
Mending broken people
00:00:51.68\00:00:55.08
Hello, and welcome
to 3ABN Family Worship.
00:01:09.00\00:01:11.63
We're so glad
that you joined us.
00:01:11.67\00:01:13.54
You know, we're gonna have
a really exciting hour here
00:01:13.57\00:01:16.20
in God's Word.
00:01:16.24\00:01:17.57
And we want you
to get your Bible
00:01:17.61\00:01:18.94
and get some things out so
you can study along with us.
00:01:18.97\00:01:21.51
We have looked at it
00:01:21.54\00:01:22.88
and we are
excited about this topic.
00:01:22.91\00:01:25.28
This is a second
part, by the way.
00:01:25.31\00:01:26.78
If you missed
the first, you know,
00:01:26.82\00:01:28.75
you might be
missing out a little bit,
00:01:28.78\00:01:30.25
but we're going to
go over those things
00:01:30.29\00:01:32.05
in just a moment.
00:01:32.09\00:01:33.62
Excuse me.
00:01:33.66\00:01:34.99
But we're going to be looking
at restitution of all things.
00:01:35.02\00:01:39.23
And other word for
restitution is restoration?
00:01:39.26\00:01:42.30
Restoration of all things.
00:01:42.33\00:01:44.57
So praise the Lord for that.
00:01:44.60\00:01:46.43
But I think first of all,
00:01:46.47\00:01:47.80
it'll be good to
introduce everyone
00:01:47.84\00:01:49.47
and then we're going to go back
00:01:49.50\00:01:50.84
and then we're
going to have prayer
00:01:50.87\00:01:52.21
and then we're going to
have some special music.
00:01:52.24\00:01:53.68
So on my right, Dr. J.D. Quinn.
00:01:53.71\00:01:56.38
Good to have
you. It's my pleasure.
00:01:56.41\00:01:58.61
It's always fun to talk about
restoration or restitution,
00:01:58.65\00:02:02.02
that's a big
word for a Texas boy.
00:02:02.05\00:02:03.49
Yes. That's right.
00:02:03.52\00:02:04.85
That's right. Restitution.
00:02:04.89\00:02:06.22
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:02:06.25\00:02:07.59
We're glad you've taken
time to be with us today,
00:02:07.62\00:02:09.19
and we praise God for you.
00:02:09.22\00:02:10.79
And I'm Kenny Shelton,
00:02:10.83\00:02:12.23
and on my left is
my wife Chris Shelton.
00:02:12.26\00:02:13.80
Hello! Yeah.
00:02:13.83\00:02:15.16
And on your left, we
have Brother Ryan Day.
00:02:15.20\00:02:17.33
Amen. It's always good.
00:02:17.37\00:02:18.70
I know you're busy all the time.
00:02:18.73\00:02:20.07
Man, hey, busy in the
Lord, brother, but it's good.
00:02:20.10\00:02:23.07
It's kind of
hard to turn it down
00:02:23.10\00:02:24.44
even though you're busy
00:02:24.47\00:02:25.81
to be able to
say with due season.
00:02:25.84\00:02:27.18
I have lot of
passion for the gospel.
00:02:27.21\00:02:28.54
That's right.
00:02:28.58\00:02:29.91
And the good news is that
Jesus is not busy working.
00:02:29.94\00:02:31.28
It's a holy work, exciting work,
00:02:31.31\00:02:32.98
and I'm excited to be
able to do it with you guys.
00:02:33.01\00:02:34.35
Yeah. Oh, praise the Lord.
00:02:34.38\00:02:35.72
We're always glad to have
you. And, Brother Don Owens.
00:02:35.75\00:02:37.25
Yes, sir. Glad to have you.
00:02:37.29\00:02:38.62
We miss your wife today,
but we're glad to have you.
00:02:38.65\00:02:40.92
She's a little busy. I like it.
00:02:40.96\00:02:42.32
There's another word
you can add in is recovery.
00:02:42.36\00:02:44.79
Okay, yes. Recovery.
00:02:44.83\00:02:46.16
Yeah, I like the word recovery.
00:02:46.19\00:02:47.53
I want to be recovered so...
00:02:47.56\00:02:48.90
Amen. Praise the
Lord. Praise the Lord.
00:02:48.93\00:02:50.60
Why don't we sing in a little
00:02:50.63\00:02:52.03
while we have our
piano player there,
00:02:52.07\00:02:53.84
Summer Boyd,
00:02:53.87\00:02:55.20
we're so glad
that you've come in
00:02:55.24\00:02:56.57
and playing the piano for us.
00:02:56.60\00:02:57.94
It makes us so
nice and so wonderful.
00:02:57.97\00:02:59.67
We praise God for that.
00:02:59.71\00:03:01.04
But before we have the song,
00:03:01.08\00:03:02.41
I think it'd be nice if we pray.
00:03:02.44\00:03:03.88
I know before I
sing, I need to pray.
00:03:03.91\00:03:05.78
Oh, absolutely.
First we need to pray.
00:03:05.81\00:03:08.28
Yes.
00:03:08.32\00:03:09.75
Brother, J.D., how about you
start off the prayer, please?
00:03:09.78\00:03:12.45
Father, as we come to
You on this Sabbath day,
00:03:12.49\00:03:14.56
we just want to thank You, Lord,
00:03:14.59\00:03:15.92
for Your many, many blessings.
00:03:15.96\00:03:17.46
Lord, we thank You
that we can come before You
00:03:17.49\00:03:20.70
and just give
You permission, Lord,
00:03:20.73\00:03:23.47
to be in charge
of this time tonight.
00:03:23.50\00:03:28.70
And, Father,
that we will be able
00:03:28.74\00:03:30.27
to undo these things.
00:03:30.31\00:03:31.64
And, Father, that
it will make sense
00:03:31.67\00:03:33.01
to each of us.
00:03:33.04\00:03:34.41
And thank You,
Lord, that we have people
00:03:34.44\00:03:36.24
that we're sharing
00:03:36.28\00:03:37.78
with our brothers and
sisters in Christ Lord.
00:03:37.81\00:03:40.28
And, Father, we
do submit our lives
00:03:40.32\00:03:42.82
and our energies to you.
00:03:42.85\00:03:44.69
We ask this in
the name of Jesus.
00:03:44.72\00:03:46.35
Amen. Amen. Amen.
00:03:46.39\00:03:48.42
Okay, Brother Ryan,
00:03:48.46\00:03:49.79
you're gonna lead us
on this music, aren't you?
00:03:49.82\00:03:51.16
We're going to
sing good old fashioned.
00:03:51.19\00:03:52.99
I like this. Turn
your eyes upon Jesus.
00:03:53.03\00:03:55.26
Perfect song for
this particular topic.
00:03:55.30\00:03:57.07
Amen.
00:03:57.10\00:03:59.30
You guys got to
sing out loud for me.
00:03:59.33\00:04:00.84
Amen, amen.
00:04:00.87\00:04:03.17
O soul, are you
weary and troubled?
00:04:03.20\00:04:10.75
No light in the
darkness as you see?
00:04:10.78\00:04:17.99
There's life for
a look at the Savior
00:04:18.02\00:04:25.43
And life more abundant and free
00:04:25.46\00:04:33.03
Turn your eye upon Jesus
00:04:33.07\00:04:39.74
Look full in His wonderful face
00:04:39.77\00:04:46.92
And the things of
earth will grow strangely dim
00:04:46.95\00:04:54.62
In the light of
His glory and grace
00:04:54.66\00:05:02.43
Through death
into life everlasting
00:05:02.46\00:05:09.67
He passed, and
we follow Him there
00:05:09.70\00:05:16.88
Over us sin more hath dominion
00:05:16.91\00:05:24.19
For more than conquerors we are
00:05:24.22\00:05:31.96
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
00:05:31.99\00:05:38.77
Look full into
His wonderful face
00:05:38.80\00:05:45.91
And the things of
earth will grow strangely dim
00:05:45.94\00:05:53.82
In the light of His glory
00:05:53.85\00:05:58.52
And grace
00:05:58.55\00:06:02.52
Amen. Thank you so much. Amen.
00:06:02.56\00:06:03.89
Such a wonderful choice,
Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
00:06:03.93\00:06:07.66
We're going to encourage
you to do that as we study,
00:06:07.70\00:06:09.70
turn your eye upon Jesus.
00:06:09.73\00:06:11.63
And again, we're
going to be getting
00:06:11.67\00:06:13.00
to restitution of all things.
00:06:13.03\00:06:14.50
And we started
on our first part,
00:06:14.54\00:06:16.20
and I think it
will be good to go over
00:06:16.24\00:06:17.61
just for some quick things
00:06:17.64\00:06:18.97
that we covered
the first in case,
00:06:19.01\00:06:20.34
so no one's lost as
we go into the study.
00:06:20.38\00:06:22.84
And we had a wonderful,
I call it a memory verse,
00:06:22.88\00:06:25.61
foundation scripture.
00:06:25.65\00:06:27.22
Would you read that
for us? Oh, absolutely.
00:06:27.25\00:06:28.68
From the Book of Acts Chapter 3.
00:06:28.72\00:06:30.65
Get your Bible, Acts 3:19-21.
00:06:30.69\00:06:34.56
Yes. I love this scripture
00:06:34.59\00:06:35.92
This is good.
00:06:35.96\00:06:37.29
It reads, "Repent ye
therefore and be converted,
00:06:37.33\00:06:40.43
that your sins
may be blotted out,
00:06:40.46\00:06:42.80
when the times of
refreshing shall come
00:06:42.83\00:06:45.07
from the presence of the Lord,
00:06:45.10\00:06:46.97
and He shall send Jesus Christ,
00:06:47.00\00:06:49.90
which before was
preached unto you,
00:06:49.94\00:06:52.01
whom the heaven must receive..."
00:06:52.04\00:06:53.68
Now this what really stuck out
00:06:53.71\00:06:56.08
when I read
this a few weeks ago.
00:06:56.11\00:06:58.11
"Whom the heaven must receive
00:06:58.15\00:06:59.65
until the times of
restitution of all things,
00:06:59.68\00:07:04.12
which God has spoken
00:07:04.15\00:07:05.49
by the mouth of
His holy prophets
00:07:05.52\00:07:07.62
since the world began."
00:07:07.66\00:07:09.92
Wonderful, you made a point
I think is very interesting,
00:07:09.96\00:07:12.56
the fact that
it's in our notes here,
00:07:12.59\00:07:14.56
"Restoration of
something lost or stolen
00:07:14.60\00:07:18.43
to its proper owner."
00:07:18.47\00:07:20.07
I like that, God said,
"I'm going to give it back."
00:07:20.10\00:07:22.64
But I kind of had a
thought along those lines.
00:07:22.67\00:07:25.27
And I said, you know,
00:07:25.31\00:07:26.64
did the enemy
really steal this earth
00:07:26.68\00:07:29.64
or did he win this earth?
00:07:29.68\00:07:31.08
Right.
00:07:31.11\00:07:32.68
I mean, it's
something we need to think about
00:07:32.71\00:07:34.35
'cause I thought
he's never been fair,
00:07:34.38\00:07:35.72
he's never told the truth,
00:07:35.75\00:07:37.09
he's never been
right, he's a liar,
00:07:37.12\00:07:38.45
he's a deceiver, he's a fraud.
00:07:38.49\00:07:39.82
That's right
00:07:39.85\00:07:41.19
And still yet,
00:07:41.22\00:07:42.56
as he took the world over
00:07:42.59\00:07:44.36
because man chose to follow him.
00:07:44.39\00:07:46.76
That's right.
00:07:46.80\00:07:48.13
So something that's
been challenged here
00:07:48.16\00:07:50.97
is as we look at it.
00:07:51.00\00:07:53.80
The world was, you know,
the enemy says it's mine.
00:07:53.84\00:07:56.34
That's right. It's
actually stolen though.
00:07:56.37\00:07:58.11
Stolen, really? It's actually.
00:07:58.14\00:08:00.44
Wouldn't be
because of the premise
00:08:00.48\00:08:01.98
in which he received
it, he deceived, didn't he?
00:08:02.01\00:08:04.71
He started out as a
deception and he took it,
00:08:04.75\00:08:06.65
so praise God we
look at our study.
00:08:06.68\00:08:09.48
Jesus said, "I'm going
to restore all things."
00:08:09.52\00:08:12.45
And I just kind of wondered,
00:08:12.49\00:08:13.82
we talked about it
in our first lesson,
00:08:13.86\00:08:16.36
what's all things?
00:08:16.39\00:08:18.23
How far does that go,
somebody have an idea?
00:08:18.26\00:08:20.53
What's our thoughts? All things.
00:08:20.56\00:08:22.23
Well, the saying
that did really confuses
00:08:22.26\00:08:24.27
a lot of people, if God's God,
00:08:24.30\00:08:26.97
how could He allow
that to even happen?
00:08:27.00\00:08:28.70
Yeah. Well.
00:08:28.74\00:08:30.44
I mean, yeah.
00:08:30.47\00:08:32.21
Well as far as that
particular question.
00:08:32.24\00:08:34.88
In a sense, he won it,
00:08:34.91\00:08:37.08
because he was able to
deceive and we gave it to him.
00:08:37.11\00:08:39.98
Amen. We gave it to him.
00:08:40.02\00:08:41.85
But the beautiful thing is,
00:08:41.88\00:08:43.62
God gave us a pattern,
00:08:43.65\00:08:45.05
He gave us a pattern back
to salvation, back to Him,
00:08:45.09\00:08:48.49
a way of
restitution or restoration.
00:08:48.52\00:08:52.09
And as I've been
studying this over and over,
00:08:52.13\00:08:55.30
because it always amazed me,
00:08:55.33\00:08:56.67
when we do evangelistic series
00:08:56.70\00:08:59.07
throughout the different
dispensations of history,
00:08:59.10\00:09:02.34
we'll talk about the
present truth for that time.
00:09:02.37\00:09:04.71
And what it is,
00:09:04.74\00:09:06.07
is God restoring
what was taken away.
00:09:06.11\00:09:10.05
You see the devil
himself in heaven was Lucifer,
00:09:10.08\00:09:13.58
and what was Lucifer?
00:09:13.62\00:09:14.95
He was covering
cherub over the law of God.
00:09:14.98\00:09:19.45
And if he was
protecting the law,
00:09:19.49\00:09:22.32
he lived the law.
00:09:22.36\00:09:24.03
But pretty soon he began to
go around to the other angels
00:09:24.06\00:09:26.93
and say, "Hey, we can be holy,
00:09:26.96\00:09:30.10
we don't need God to be holy.
00:09:30.13\00:09:32.53
We can be holy on earth."
00:09:32.57\00:09:33.90
You know he didn't go and say,
00:09:33.94\00:09:35.34
"Hey, Brother Ryan,
you want to be evil?"
00:09:35.37\00:09:37.31
Yeah.
00:09:37.34\00:09:38.67
"Let's be evil,
let's challenge Him."
00:09:38.71\00:09:40.38
No, he deceived them
00:09:40.41\00:09:42.54
and so that's how he
won third of the angels.
00:09:42.58\00:09:45.65
So God gave us this pattern
00:09:45.68\00:09:47.52
and the more I look
at it, the more I see
00:09:47.55\00:09:49.82
that it's somewhat
infinite in its study.
00:09:49.85\00:09:52.95
I don't think we can ever
come to a complete conclusion
00:09:52.99\00:09:56.36
as we go through each
article of the sanctuary,
00:09:56.39\00:09:59.69
you know the laver,
00:09:59.73\00:10:02.06
the altar of sacrifice,
the table of showbread,
00:10:02.10\00:10:05.90
the incense, the light
stand, the holy of holies
00:10:05.93\00:10:09.64
that contains the
Ark of the Covenant,
00:10:09.67\00:10:11.24
I don't think we'll
ever exhaust that study.
00:10:11.27\00:10:13.98
But it's so neat
when we begin to see
00:10:14.01\00:10:17.11
that the enemy
attacked that pattern...
00:10:17.15\00:10:22.38
That's right. Absolutely.
00:10:22.42\00:10:23.75
Because that
pattern represents God...
00:10:23.79\00:10:25.42
Absolutely.
00:10:25.45\00:10:26.79
And that pattern
contained the Ten Commandments.
00:10:26.82\00:10:28.82
And so because he's brought in
00:10:28.86\00:10:31.13
just little bits
and pieces of deception
00:10:31.16\00:10:33.46
throughout the ages,
00:10:33.50\00:10:34.83
God is just so
wise, He's so encompassing
00:10:34.86\00:10:37.73
that through each dispensation
He began to restore.
00:10:37.77\00:10:41.47
And that's what we
talked about on our first lesson
00:10:41.50\00:10:44.04
was the
restoration of the Word of God.
00:10:44.07\00:10:45.71
Sure. Amen.
00:10:45.74\00:10:47.08
Because I think we're
all on agreement, right?
00:10:47.11\00:10:48.71
That the Word of
God was covered up.
00:10:48.74\00:10:51.81
Sure, absolutely.
00:10:51.85\00:10:53.18
Yeah, and so God said,
basically I'm going to what?
00:10:53.21\00:10:55.32
Brother Ryan, is uncovered.
00:10:55.35\00:10:57.22
Yeah, absolutely.
00:10:57.25\00:10:59.02
I think, you know,
we're taking this approach
00:10:59.05\00:11:01.26
through the
pattern of the sanctuary
00:11:01.29\00:11:02.62
which is very
appropriate, genius.
00:11:02.66\00:11:05.33
Because that's exactly
what the Bible is best patterned
00:11:05.36\00:11:07.63
after this
blueprint of the sanctuary.
00:11:07.66\00:11:09.96
And one for, you know,
just for our viewer at home,
00:11:10.00\00:11:11.60
there may be someone asking
00:11:11.63\00:11:12.97
that's tuning in
for the first time
00:11:13.00\00:11:14.37
asking why the sanctuary?
00:11:14.40\00:11:15.80
Why would you
approach this topic
00:11:15.84\00:11:17.37
from the point of the sanctuary?
00:11:17.41\00:11:19.24
If you think about it logically,
00:11:19.27\00:11:20.71
the Bible always
explains itself...
00:11:20.74\00:11:22.08
Oh, absolutely.
00:11:22.11\00:11:23.45
There's a couple of
scriptures really quickly...
00:11:23.48\00:11:24.95
The Bible says,
"All we like sheep
00:11:24.98\00:11:26.92
have gone astray.
00:11:26.95\00:11:28.72
Every man went his own way."
00:11:28.75\00:11:32.39
When we take our way
out of the way of Christ,
00:11:32.42\00:11:36.29
into our own way,
then we become lost sheep.
00:11:36.32\00:11:39.49
We become,
walking into a direction
00:11:39.53\00:11:41.56
that is not towards
heaven but towards destruction.
00:11:41.60\00:11:44.37
And so we went,
everyone on our own way.
00:11:44.40\00:11:47.30
When Jesus shows up,
Jesus say, "Look, I am the..."
00:11:47.34\00:11:50.07
Way. "I am the way."
00:11:50.11\00:11:52.64
you want to be
saying, I am the way.
00:11:52.67\00:11:54.48
I am the door.
00:11:54.51\00:11:55.84
If you want to
walk through that door,
00:11:55.88\00:11:57.61
there's only one way in.
00:11:57.65\00:11:58.98
And so Christ is the way.
00:11:59.01\00:12:00.72
Now, we take
that a step further,
00:12:00.75\00:12:02.18
Psalm 77:13 says,
00:12:02.22\00:12:04.35
"Thy way, O God,
is in the sanctuary."
00:12:04.39\00:12:08.59
Is Christ in the sanctuary? Yes.
00:12:08.62\00:12:10.69
Christ in His
way of righteousness
00:12:10.73\00:12:12.79
is found in the sanctuary.
00:12:12.83\00:12:14.16
So that's why
we're approaching this
00:12:14.20\00:12:15.53
from the sanctuary
because the sanctuary
00:12:15.56\00:12:16.90
is the blueprint of salvation.
00:12:16.93\00:12:18.60
Well, and we often think,
00:12:18.63\00:12:20.27
and you just
opened up a can of worms
00:12:20.30\00:12:22.40
'cause last night
when I was going through
00:12:22.44\00:12:24.07
this right at the end,
00:12:24.11\00:12:25.44
it's like the Lord
just turned on a light bulb
00:12:25.47\00:12:27.21
and I started writing
here and then I thought,
00:12:27.24\00:12:29.71
no, I better get up my computer.
00:12:29.74\00:12:31.51
And then when I
printed, I printed so...
00:12:31.55\00:12:33.31
It's such tiny,
00:12:33.35\00:12:34.68
I really need a two
pair of glasses to see it.
00:12:34.72\00:12:36.85
But it was so neat,
00:12:36.89\00:12:38.79
because often we think
00:12:38.82\00:12:40.16
of the different
pieces of furniture
00:12:40.19\00:12:43.53
represent a
different dispensations,
00:12:43.56\00:12:45.89
different things
that are being restored,
00:12:45.93\00:12:47.80
different time periods.
00:12:47.83\00:12:49.40
Some people can
take the Old Testament,
00:12:49.43\00:12:51.73
and even the teachings of Christ
00:12:51.77\00:12:53.64
and apply them to
those pieces of sanctuary.
00:12:53.67\00:12:56.10
But all of a sudden
last night I thought,
00:12:56.14\00:12:59.11
Jesus is the door of tabernacle.
00:12:59.14\00:13:02.01
That's right.
00:13:02.04\00:13:03.38
You know it says that
He had the key of David,
00:13:03.41\00:13:05.38
He says, "I am the
way as you said the truth,
00:13:05.41\00:13:07.45
and the life no one
comes to the Father but by me."
00:13:07.48\00:13:10.55
Jesus is the altar of sacrifice.
00:13:10.59\00:13:14.52
The Bible says in 1 John 3:16,
00:13:14.56\00:13:17.06
"He laid down His life for
us, behold the name of God."
00:13:17.09\00:13:20.16
We find that in John
1:29, "Jesus is the laver."
00:13:20.20\00:13:25.30
He is the laver."
00:13:25.33\00:13:26.67
"Wash Me and I will
be whiter than snow."
00:13:26.70\00:13:29.50
We find that in Psalms 51:7.
00:13:29.54\00:13:31.77
I've to write these down,
00:13:31.81\00:13:33.14
because I am not able to
regurgitate quite as well.
00:13:33.17\00:13:36.85
"And then wash away thy sins."
00:13:36.88\00:13:39.28
We find that in Acts 22:16.
00:13:39.31\00:13:41.78
So even though, or
let me just keep going.
00:13:41.82\00:13:45.45
"Jesus is the
showbread," John 6:35.
00:13:45.49\00:13:49.26
It says, "I am
the bread of life.
00:13:49.29\00:13:51.09
He that cometh to
Me shall never hunger."
00:13:51.13\00:13:53.63
Oh, I'm telling you
00:13:53.66\00:13:55.00
as these
passages came last night,
00:13:55.03\00:13:57.00
it was just so...
00:13:57.03\00:13:58.37
It filled me up.
It was so beautiful.
00:13:58.40\00:14:01.94
It says, "Jesus is the
seven-branched candlestick."
00:14:01.97\00:14:04.97
"I Am," He says in John 8:12,
00:14:05.01\00:14:08.04
"I am the light of the
world, the light of life."
00:14:08.08\00:14:11.51
"Jesus is the altar of incense,"
00:14:11.55\00:14:14.82
1 Timothy 2:25.
00:14:14.85\00:14:17.19
"He is the mediator
between God and man."
00:14:17.22\00:14:20.72
He is that
incense. The only mediator.
00:14:20.76\00:14:22.86
That's right. Thank you.
00:14:22.89\00:14:24.23
"Jesus is the
Ark of the Covenant.
00:14:24.26\00:14:26.46
The law was contained
00:14:26.49\00:14:28.36
inside of His
mind and His heart."
00:14:28.40\00:14:31.30
And it says in Romans 8:7,
00:14:31.33\00:14:34.67
"Carnal mind is
enmity against God:
00:14:34.70\00:14:36.74
for it is not
subject to the law of God."
00:14:36.77\00:14:39.57
"The law of God
is in His heart,"
00:14:39.61\00:14:42.58
Psalms 37:31.
00:14:42.61\00:14:44.51
So truly
restitution of all things
00:14:44.55\00:14:48.62
is the restoration of God,
00:14:48.65\00:14:53.09
in our hearts, and in our mind.
00:14:53.12\00:14:55.22
It is actually
putting the pieces
00:14:55.26\00:14:57.56
that the enemy
stole back together...
00:14:57.59\00:15:01.43
Wow. Which is
also in Christ Jesus.
00:15:01.46\00:15:03.87
Those are the
foundations of everything
00:15:03.90\00:15:06.03
that we'll discuss more.
00:15:06.07\00:15:08.10
So let's not
forget these things,
00:15:08.14\00:15:09.50
at home you're
jotting down quickly.
00:15:09.54\00:15:11.87
Because we want to go
into, maybe more depth as we go.
00:15:11.91\00:15:14.81
But, man, that's a good
overall projection of it.
00:15:14.84\00:15:17.91
It's really good.
00:15:17.95\00:15:19.28
And it's good
to see you excited.
00:15:19.31\00:15:20.65
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:15:20.68\00:15:22.48
Oh, well, it's just so beautiful
00:15:22.52\00:15:24.29
when you begin to
dissect and put this together,
00:15:24.32\00:15:27.26
it's just like, wow!
00:15:27.29\00:15:29.09
You know, why didn't
we see that years ago.
00:15:29.12\00:15:30.86
But the more we look
at it, the more we see,
00:15:30.89\00:15:33.43
the more the curtain,
you know is rolled back.
00:15:33.46\00:15:36.60
And we're in that
time in world's history
00:15:36.63\00:15:39.20
when we need this
pattern more than ever.
00:15:39.23\00:15:41.84
Because we need to
be putting these things
00:15:41.87\00:15:43.97
into our hearts
and into our minds
00:15:44.01\00:15:46.27
and fully reflect,
remember Jesus said,
00:15:46.31\00:15:48.54
"Let this mind be in you
which is in Christ Jesus."
00:15:48.58\00:15:52.81
You know, so we
need a mind of God,
00:15:52.85\00:15:54.82
we need to be
praying about that,
00:15:54.85\00:15:56.32
and we need to be
able to share these things.
00:15:56.35\00:15:58.85
And say here,
00:15:58.89\00:16:00.22
"This is the
pattern God left us,
00:16:00.26\00:16:01.66
let's follow through."
00:16:01.69\00:16:03.02
And what each part means,
00:16:03.06\00:16:04.53
we don't leave anything out
00:16:04.56\00:16:05.89
because the world
likes to leave out,
00:16:05.93\00:16:07.26
they like to pick and choose
00:16:07.30\00:16:08.83
which piece of
furniture they want.
00:16:08.86\00:16:10.43
That's right.
00:16:10.47\00:16:11.80
And you know here at the end,
we're restoring the last piece,
00:16:11.83\00:16:15.60
which is the altar, you
know, the mercy seat, excuse me.
00:16:15.64\00:16:19.97
Yeah, we talked about
just throw the Word of God
00:16:20.01\00:16:21.48
then covered up, that's right,
00:16:21.51\00:16:23.21
we found 1300 or so and
forth and began to be uncovered.
00:16:23.24\00:16:26.25
Yes.
00:16:26.28\00:16:27.85
And, you know,
looking at the Word of God,
00:16:27.88\00:16:29.22
confidence was built
back in the Word of God.
00:16:29.25\00:16:30.92
Then we move on
to 1400s and 1500s,
00:16:30.95\00:16:33.02
we're talking
righteous by faith.
00:16:33.05\00:16:34.39
Martin Luther, I thought,
00:16:34.42\00:16:36.73
I mean, really
restoration of what?
00:16:36.76\00:16:39.29
The altar of sacrifice
if you look right here.
00:16:39.33\00:16:41.83
Question number two,
then bring in somebody,
00:16:41.86\00:16:43.67
we kind of get it
all together here,
00:16:43.70\00:16:45.47
that you have something else
just make sure you speak up.
00:16:45.50\00:16:47.74
I was going to
mention in Psalms 68,
00:16:47.77\00:16:49.44
kind of we're talking
about Psalms 68:24 says,
00:16:49.47\00:16:51.44
"They have seen
thy goings, O God,
00:16:51.47\00:16:52.91
even the goings of my
God, my King in the sanctuary."
00:16:52.94\00:16:56.64
So you're watching what Christ
is doing in the sanctuary,
00:16:56.68\00:16:58.61
and that's what
relates to this whole...
00:16:58.65\00:16:59.98
Amen, yes.
00:17:00.02\00:17:01.35
I'm talking about. Yes.
00:17:01.38\00:17:02.72
Well, that question number
two, I think it's talking about,
00:17:02.75\00:17:04.65
explain
righteousness about faith.
00:17:04.69\00:17:06.45
Now that can take a long time
to do that and place to go on.
00:17:06.49\00:17:09.16
That's okay.
00:17:09.19\00:17:10.53
But it's, yeah, it's
okay, because it's good
00:17:10.56\00:17:11.89
because the enemy
then try to do what?
00:17:11.93\00:17:14.30
He tried to conceal
this from the people.
00:17:14.33\00:17:17.80
So we realize that as
we look at this today,
00:17:17.83\00:17:20.40
we're thinking
now, Martin Luther,
00:17:20.44\00:17:21.77
when he discovered
this, it changed his life.
00:17:21.80\00:17:25.14
Absolutely.
00:17:25.17\00:17:26.51
And I'm kind of wondering here
00:17:26.54\00:17:27.88
if we
discovered, you discovered,
00:17:27.91\00:17:30.51
will it change your life,
or should it change your life?
00:17:30.55\00:17:32.95
Absolutely.
00:17:32.98\00:17:34.32
You know I just want to mention,
00:17:34.35\00:17:35.68
since we're on this note.
00:17:35.72\00:17:37.22
Speaking from the
perspective of Martin Luther,
00:17:37.25\00:17:39.79
prior to this,
it's from a biblical,
00:17:39.82\00:17:41.82
kind of a
historical perspective.
00:17:41.86\00:17:43.63
You know, when you
leave the Book of Daniel,
00:17:43.66\00:17:45.76
you have this understanding,
00:17:45.79\00:17:47.86
especially from the
chapters of Daniel Chapter 8.
00:17:47.90\00:17:51.60
it says that
this antichrist power,
00:17:51.63\00:17:54.37
this little on
power is attacking
00:17:54.40\00:17:56.40
and casting down
the truth to the ground,
00:17:56.44\00:17:59.41
and he's trampling upon
God's people and his sanctuary.
00:17:59.44\00:18:03.41
Okay.
00:18:03.45\00:18:04.78
Now when you look at that,
00:18:04.81\00:18:06.15
some people are gonna
take that very literal.
00:18:06.18\00:18:07.52
And I believe
that while there was,
00:18:07.55\00:18:09.25
there can be and should be
a little application of that
00:18:09.28\00:18:11.82
as viewed in history.
00:18:11.85\00:18:13.76
Also a spiritual application,
the message of the sanctuary,
00:18:13.79\00:18:16.76
the way of the Lord,
00:18:16.79\00:18:18.13
there's
righteousness by faith concept
00:18:18.16\00:18:19.86
that's put on
display in the sanctuary
00:18:19.89\00:18:22.33
over a period of
time from, you know,
00:18:22.36\00:18:25.70
several hundred years before
Christ all the way through
00:18:25.73\00:18:28.60
until this time period,
00:18:28.64\00:18:30.77
the late, you know
early to mid 1500s.
00:18:30.81\00:18:34.64
You see that
God's sanctuary message
00:18:34.68\00:18:36.88
had been trampled,
the truth about the Word
00:18:36.91\00:18:39.25
had been cast down.
00:18:39.28\00:18:40.62
And so now what
we are getting into,
00:18:40.65\00:18:41.98
which I love this,
00:18:42.02\00:18:43.35
as you start to see a
pattern through history,
00:18:43.39\00:18:45.12
really beginning
with John Wycliffe
00:18:45.15\00:18:46.79
in the 1300s,
moving up to the 1400s
00:18:46.82\00:18:49.42
as the Word of
God has been restored.
00:18:49.46\00:18:50.79
Now, we're in the 1500s,
early 1500s, Martin Luther,
00:18:50.83\00:18:54.13
through Martin
Luther, through this man,
00:18:54.16\00:18:56.06
God is now going
to begin to restore
00:18:56.10\00:18:58.63
each and every major
aspect of His sanctuary message
00:18:58.67\00:19:02.10
that this antichrist
power, the enemy of God,
00:19:02.14\00:19:05.14
ultimately the devil
has been trampling down,
00:19:05.17\00:19:07.58
has been casting to the ground.
00:19:07.61\00:19:08.94
So now we come to
Martin Luther 1500s,
00:19:08.98\00:19:11.05
and so what did
God show Martin Luther?
00:19:11.08\00:19:13.38
What did he open his mind to?
00:19:13.42\00:19:14.82
You know what?
There's only one savior.
00:19:14.85\00:19:16.65
There's only one
way of salvation.
00:19:16.69\00:19:18.69
There's only one way
to obtain righteousness
00:19:18.72\00:19:21.36
and that's only through
Christ and His sacrifice.
00:19:21.39\00:19:25.39
And so, that's
exactly what we're seeing here
00:19:25.43\00:19:27.60
and so too...
00:19:27.63\00:19:28.96
The question says
explain righteousness by faith
00:19:29.00\00:19:30.60
and how the enemy
has tried to conceal
00:19:30.63\00:19:32.83
the truth from his people.
00:19:32.87\00:19:34.74
Well, if you take
righteousness by faith,
00:19:34.77\00:19:36.47
it's just simple definition,
a simple explanation,
00:19:36.50\00:19:39.21
just take those words,
righteousness by faith.
00:19:39.24\00:19:41.11
Whose righteousness? Christ.
00:19:41.14\00:19:42.84
Not my righteousness,
00:19:42.88\00:19:44.21
but the Bible says my
righteousness is what?
00:19:44.25\00:19:45.58
Filthy rags. Filthy rags.
00:19:45.61\00:19:46.95
Through righteousness of
Christ by, notice, faith.
00:19:46.98\00:19:49.75
And you're left
asking question, whose faith?
00:19:49.78\00:19:51.62
Yeah. Christ.
00:19:51.65\00:19:52.99
The third angel's message says,
00:19:53.02\00:19:54.66
here's the
patience of the saints
00:19:54.69\00:19:56.02
where they keep
the commandments of God
00:19:56.06\00:19:57.39
and the faith of Jesus.
00:19:57.43\00:19:59.29
So we obtain the
righteousness by Christ
00:19:59.33\00:20:01.83
through exemplifying
in our life the faith
00:20:01.86\00:20:04.63
that Jesus
exercised too on earth
00:20:04.67\00:20:07.17
which is faith in His Father
to give Him victory over sin.
00:20:07.20\00:20:10.01
Martin Luther began to see that,
00:20:10.04\00:20:11.51
and Martin Luther
began to point us back
00:20:11.54\00:20:13.41
to Jesus, the cross.
00:20:13.44\00:20:14.78
Absolutely.
00:20:14.81\00:20:16.14
I think what he went through
00:20:16.18\00:20:17.78
to learn this his willingness
because he went, we know,
00:20:17.81\00:20:21.88
he read the Bible as
it was chained, you know,
00:20:21.92\00:20:24.19
in monastery he began to read.
00:20:24.22\00:20:26.29
Also when he went to the library
00:20:26.32\00:20:28.59
first time ever that he found
the whole Bible as it were.
00:20:28.62\00:20:32.56
And I'm sure that he came
up with, was it Romans 1:17?
00:20:32.59\00:20:36.97
I mean what does it tells?
00:20:37.00\00:20:38.33
I guess, "For there in
is the righteousness of God
00:20:38.37\00:20:40.44
revealed from faith to
faith, as it is written,
00:20:40.47\00:20:44.21
the just shall live by" what?
00:20:44.24\00:20:46.88
"Faith." Just to live by faith.
00:20:46.91\00:20:48.24
Absolutely.
00:20:48.28\00:20:49.61
What did this do to man
00:20:49.64\00:20:50.98
who tried to work
yourself into the kingdom?
00:20:51.01\00:20:52.51
What might it do to us?
00:20:52.55\00:20:53.88
I think it's important,
too, to mention not only work,
00:20:53.92\00:20:57.22
but, you know,
during that period of time
00:20:57.25\00:20:59.75
for him and for other people,
00:20:59.79\00:21:01.62
if they had been baptized
00:21:01.66\00:21:03.39
according to the
Catholic theology,
00:21:03.43\00:21:05.69
the sacrament of
penance was the only way
00:21:05.73\00:21:08.53
that they could find
forgiveness from sins.
00:21:08.56\00:21:10.63
And so, I mean,
he mutilated his body
00:21:10.67\00:21:14.94
and he never felt that peace
that passes all understanding.
00:21:14.97\00:21:19.14
He tore his knees
going up and down the steps.
00:21:19.17\00:21:23.04
People were
dark, can you imagine?
00:21:23.08\00:21:26.25
Just imagine.
00:21:26.28\00:21:27.82
If you were praying
today and you never ever felt
00:21:27.85\00:21:32.05
the presence of
God in an answer.
00:21:32.09\00:21:34.76
Or that you were okay,
00:21:34.79\00:21:36.12
or that your sins were forgiven.
00:21:36.16\00:21:38.23
I mean, they were
dark, they were crying out,
00:21:38.26\00:21:41.33
they had no hope,
except going to the priest,
00:21:41.36\00:21:45.00
and the priest would
tell you have been bad,
00:21:45.03\00:21:47.04
you've got to do this.
00:21:47.07\00:21:48.40
And they would
mutilate their body
00:21:48.44\00:21:50.11
trying to find
that gift of heaven
00:21:50.14\00:21:53.24
which is the
righteousness of Christ.
00:21:53.27\00:21:55.64
What's even more,
00:21:55.68\00:21:57.35
just to break it
down more simplistically,
00:21:57.38\00:21:59.75
from this perspective. You know,
00:21:59.78\00:22:01.12
the enemy used human
agents to distort God's message.
00:22:01.15\00:22:04.92
You know, there were
decades and decades of people,
00:22:04.95\00:22:07.79
centuries of
people who were confused
00:22:07.82\00:22:09.59
and deceived into believing
00:22:09.62\00:22:11.23
that they had to
work their way to heaven.
00:22:11.26\00:22:12.96
And so, you know,
00:22:12.99\00:22:14.33
now what's amazing is now
00:22:14.36\00:22:15.70
God is going to use human agents
00:22:15.73\00:22:17.07
to restore this message,
00:22:17.10\00:22:18.43
He's going to help
us blow the trumpet
00:22:18.47\00:22:19.83
to let people know
that there is good news.
00:22:19.87\00:22:21.97
We don't have to
go and pray to a man,
00:22:22.00\00:22:23.34
we don't have to work
our way or beat our self up.
00:22:23.37\00:22:26.11
Christ took those stripes,
00:22:26.14\00:22:27.78
through His
stripes we are healed.
00:22:27.81\00:22:29.28
Amen. Yeah. Amen
00:22:29.31\00:22:31.11
You know, what's
interesting is that it is,
00:22:31.15\00:22:33.31
you know God is a God of order.
00:22:33.35\00:22:35.95
But He did strike back
in the 1300s and the 1400s,
00:22:35.98\00:22:38.82
just a little bit at a time.
00:22:38.85\00:22:40.56
You brought the word
earlier of how genius God is.
00:22:40.59\00:22:45.89
Because if He had given
the whole lump sum at one time,
00:22:45.93\00:22:49.73
they would have
probably, you know,
00:22:49.76\00:22:51.17
just found a way
to erode it somewhere.
00:22:51.20\00:22:54.04
But, boy, He's just giving
a little bit to be built on,
00:22:54.07\00:22:56.54
to be built on, to
be built on, and...
00:22:56.57\00:22:59.17
Go ahead.
00:22:59.21\00:23:00.54
I mean to me it's God
will work it all time.
00:23:00.58\00:23:03.81
And here we are
with the main topic,
00:23:03.85\00:23:05.58
you know,
righteousness by faith.
00:23:05.61\00:23:06.95
Is that somehow maybe,
00:23:06.98\00:23:08.32
like when we
state the Word of God
00:23:08.35\00:23:09.68
that we should even...
00:23:09.72\00:23:11.05
We should do it today. Yes.
00:23:11.09\00:23:12.42
Again you study
one subject at a time,
00:23:12.45\00:23:15.12
you can't throw
everything all out there once
00:23:15.16\00:23:17.19
and then try to digest.
00:23:17.23\00:23:18.56
So you take one thing,
get it clear in your heart,
00:23:18.59\00:23:20.93
get clear in your mind,
00:23:20.96\00:23:22.30
and then you
react to that, you know.
00:23:22.33\00:23:25.33
As we just evolve, I mean,
00:23:25.37\00:23:26.70
the first time
I read the lesson,
00:23:26.74\00:23:28.07
I said, "Wow, it's
little complicated."
00:23:28.10\00:23:30.64
And then I read
it the second time,
00:23:30.67\00:23:32.07
"Wow, this could be built on."
00:23:32.11\00:23:34.91
And then the third
time, I was really excited.
00:23:34.94\00:23:36.81
Right.
00:23:36.85\00:23:38.18
And then here we are
00:23:38.21\00:23:39.55
and we're just
building on each other,
00:23:39.58\00:23:41.08
and...
00:23:41.12\00:23:42.75
If you, at least,
what I can identify with,
00:23:42.78\00:23:46.32
I think there comes a
time in all of our lives
00:23:46.35\00:23:48.32
when we get sick and
tired of being sick and tired.
00:23:48.36\00:23:50.33
Yes, come on.
00:23:50.36\00:23:51.69
And at that particular time,
then it's time to make a move.
00:23:51.73\00:23:54.10
Yes. Right.
00:23:54.13\00:23:55.46
And then a little
nugget will come your way,
00:23:55.50\00:23:57.70
and you built on that nugget.
00:23:57.73\00:23:59.07
I think it's important
00:23:59.10\00:24:00.44
because we were
talking about the history,
00:24:00.47\00:24:01.87
you are talking
about being sick and tired.
00:24:01.90\00:24:03.84
But there are people
and I have been one of them
00:24:03.87\00:24:06.68
that have been so
down and so depressed
00:24:06.71\00:24:09.44
and felt so unworthy.
00:24:09.48\00:24:11.61
I felt that there
was no hope, you know
00:24:11.65\00:24:14.55
and there were actually
times in my life years ago
00:24:14.58\00:24:17.35
that I thought
about committing suicide.
00:24:17.39\00:24:21.06
And I wanted to commit
suicide, except I kept thinking,
00:24:21.09\00:24:25.06
who would take
care of my children?
00:24:25.09\00:24:27.66
Who would take
care of the children?
00:24:27.70\00:24:29.06
That's right.
00:24:29.10\00:24:30.43
You know so,
coming and understanding
00:24:30.47\00:24:34.70
that Christ's righteousness
will cover all of that.
00:24:34.74\00:24:39.34
We just need to
reach out to Him in faith
00:24:39.37\00:24:43.14
and accept that free gift.
00:24:43.18\00:24:46.01
That is such a blessing for you,
00:24:46.05\00:24:47.88
many of you who may be watching.
00:24:47.92\00:24:49.78
You may have tuned in
thinking there's no hope for me,
00:24:49.82\00:24:52.15
I've been too bad.
00:24:52.19\00:24:54.02
But Christ says there is hope.
00:24:54.06\00:24:56.22
I've been there, I've done that,
00:24:56.26\00:24:57.79
and I want to
give you My victory.
00:24:57.83\00:24:59.66
Ain't that beautiful? Amen.
00:24:59.69\00:25:01.03
Praise the Lord.
00:25:01.06\00:25:02.40
Kind of what you're touching at,
00:25:02.43\00:25:03.77
we watched a
movie just recently,
00:25:03.80\00:25:05.13
was a Christian film,
a film I think in Poland.
00:25:05.17\00:25:07.07
Anyways it had
English titles underneath.
00:25:07.10\00:25:09.80
But the woman
was thrown in prison.
00:25:09.84\00:25:11.27
She was supposed to be
speaking against the government.
00:25:11.31\00:25:14.28
So they put her in there,
and how she got through this,
00:25:14.31\00:25:16.91
she stared writing
scriptures on the wall.
00:25:16.95\00:25:19.28
And she wrote
those scriptures in...
00:25:19.31\00:25:21.45
Some time period later,
00:25:21.48\00:25:22.82
she ends up in
this different barracks,
00:25:22.85\00:25:24.19
in this different camp.
00:25:24.22\00:25:25.55
And one lady,
00:25:25.59\00:25:26.92
they threw in
this camp with her,
00:25:26.96\00:25:28.29
and she came out to find
out she was in the same room.
00:25:28.32\00:25:30.33
And those
scriptures on that wall
00:25:30.36\00:25:32.59
that gave her the
confidence to get through,
00:25:32.63\00:25:34.30
so God's Word is that powerful.
00:25:34.33\00:25:36.06
It is.
00:25:36.10\00:25:37.43
And this woman, she
could even thank the guards
00:25:37.47\00:25:38.80
who were beating
her and wiping her,
00:25:38.83\00:25:40.17
she could thank
them for the food,
00:25:40.20\00:25:41.80
yeah, literally.
00:25:41.84\00:25:43.17
Oh, wow. I think
I heard that story.
00:25:43.20\00:25:44.54
Yeah. That's amazing.
00:25:44.57\00:25:46.47
I mean, God is
always there to help.
00:25:46.51\00:25:48.24
Always, always on time.
00:25:48.28\00:25:49.64
In that kind of situations,
God will send you somewhere,
00:25:49.68\00:25:53.01
something will happen,
He will send you somebody.
00:25:53.05\00:25:54.68
That's right.
00:25:54.72\00:25:56.05
We can remember
that there is a lady
00:25:56.08\00:25:57.45
that called into
ministry one time.
00:25:57.49\00:25:59.79
She'd been out to the, we
call it "the dump" you know.
00:25:59.82\00:26:03.26
Taking the trash and
stuff all that big old junkyard,
00:26:03.29\00:26:06.29
or whatever to
get rid of the trash.
00:26:06.33\00:26:08.50
And she was thinking of suicide.
00:26:08.53\00:26:10.13
Life was just too much,
00:26:10.17\00:26:11.50
she just
couldn't stand it anymore,
00:26:11.53\00:26:13.37
too many questions
00:26:13.40\00:26:14.94
that were not
answered in her life.
00:26:14.97\00:26:17.47
She said, "Why
continue to go on?
00:26:17.51\00:26:19.14
It's just one
failure after the other."
00:26:19.17\00:26:21.28
She's looking to
herself and work around,
00:26:21.31\00:26:22.81
and encourage
people to look at Jesus,
00:26:22.84\00:26:24.18
the author of our faith.
00:26:24.21\00:26:25.61
It's what
righteousness by faith,
00:26:25.65\00:26:26.98
all about Him, nothing about us,
00:26:27.02\00:26:28.35
it's all about Him.
00:26:28.38\00:26:29.72
Anyway, she's
thinking, I'm just...
00:26:29.75\00:26:31.09
Once I get down,
I'm gonna kill myself.
00:26:31.12\00:26:33.69
And as she was walking
around throwing her trash.
00:26:33.72\00:26:35.66
Now, it was a great big
old land field, you know.
00:26:35.69\00:26:38.16
One day, she
stepped on something,
00:26:38.19\00:26:40.43
and she moved her foot,
00:26:40.46\00:26:41.80
she reached down
and picked it up.
00:26:41.83\00:26:43.16
And, of course, that's
why she called the minister.
00:26:43.20\00:26:44.53
It's the VCR.
00:26:44.57\00:26:45.90
You know, this
little, had little tape on it,
00:26:45.93\00:26:48.74
it's from Behold the Lamb
and it had a subject on it
00:26:48.77\00:26:52.14
that was
exactly what she needed.
00:26:52.17\00:26:54.74
That doesn't mean anything good
00:26:54.78\00:26:56.11
for anyone here.
00:26:56.14\00:26:57.48
It simply meant that was
what she needed at that time.
00:26:57.51\00:26:59.81
Somebody, somebody
had thrown it away.
00:26:59.85\00:27:02.45
That's right. Yeah, yeah.
00:27:02.48\00:27:03.82
Somebody had thrown it away
00:27:03.85\00:27:05.19
because it
didn't do them any good
00:27:05.22\00:27:06.55
or they didn't care for it,
00:27:06.59\00:27:07.92
they didn't need
it in their life.
00:27:07.96\00:27:09.36
But there was this one poor soul
00:27:09.39\00:27:11.83
that needed a Word.
00:27:11.86\00:27:13.19
And she reached down
and played that thing,
00:27:13.23\00:27:14.56
then called him and said,
00:27:14.60\00:27:15.93
"I don't think
about suicide anymore."
00:27:15.96\00:27:17.30
One man's trash is
another man's treasure.
00:27:17.33\00:27:18.67
You never might,
00:27:18.70\00:27:20.04
with Jesus everything
changed, but He's God.
00:27:20.07\00:27:22.57
Or perhaps, you know,
the player didn't play,
00:27:22.60\00:27:26.21
she thought of
doing both the way
00:27:26.24\00:27:27.88
and I mean, wow, what a miracle.
00:27:27.91\00:27:29.61
God is good.
00:27:29.64\00:27:31.25
He promises that His
Word will not return void.
00:27:31.28\00:27:34.35
And it's just so powerful,
00:27:34.38\00:27:35.75
that's why you can get
excited on these lessons
00:27:35.78\00:27:38.32
because we have to
dig into the Word of God
00:27:38.35\00:27:41.66
for the jewels that
apply to these subjects
00:27:41.69\00:27:44.49
and they're so beautiful.
00:27:44.53\00:27:46.16
You know, it
reminds me of another story
00:27:46.19\00:27:48.43
of a lady in New York.
00:27:48.46\00:27:49.80
We were in Florida at the time,
00:27:49.83\00:27:52.37
and this lady,
she's a Jewish lady.
00:27:52.40\00:27:54.87
I still have contact with her.
00:27:54.90\00:27:56.94
But she had been
in a terrible wreck.
00:27:56.97\00:28:01.08
And it had crippled her.
00:28:01.11\00:28:03.38
And she was just on
her knees and crying,
00:28:03.41\00:28:06.15
the wreck eventually
destroyed her marriage
00:28:06.18\00:28:09.18
and she was just
pleading with God for help.
00:28:09.22\00:28:12.89
I don't know what to do,
00:28:12.92\00:28:14.26
she didn't know whether
she wanted to go on or not,
00:28:14.29\00:28:17.13
and she just was crying
and weeping and weeping.
00:28:17.16\00:28:20.76
And when she got done,
00:28:20.80\00:28:22.13
she turned on her
TV to put a tape in
00:28:22.16\00:28:24.03
because she didn't have a
satellite dish or anything.
00:28:24.07\00:28:26.74
But when she turned on
the TV, 3ABN was there,
00:28:26.77\00:28:30.84
Behold the Lamb
presents was playing,
00:28:30.87\00:28:33.84
you were speaking and she said,
00:28:33.88\00:28:36.28
"Everything he said was
what I just dreamed about."
00:28:36.31\00:28:40.98
Everything, so she
called, praising God,
00:28:41.02\00:28:45.65
because everything that was said
00:28:45.69\00:28:48.16
and she told her
friends, they said,
00:28:48.19\00:28:49.52
you can get that channel.
00:28:49.56\00:28:53.43
God wants you to
have that channel.
00:28:53.46\00:28:55.00
That's right. You'll get it.
00:28:55.03\00:28:56.60
You'll get that channel.
00:28:56.63\00:28:57.97
That is true.
00:28:58.00\00:28:59.33
Amen. Praise God.
00:28:59.37\00:29:00.70
Isn't that wonderful?
00:29:00.74\00:29:02.07
If anyone here can give
00:29:02.10\00:29:03.44
a definition of
righteousness by faith,
00:29:03.47\00:29:05.67
it could be in few words,
00:29:05.71\00:29:07.04
it might be a quote or
something that you have.
00:29:07.08\00:29:08.78
What would it be?
00:29:08.81\00:29:10.45
Anybody wants to volunteer just.
00:29:10.48\00:29:13.31
Well, I'd give a scripture
00:29:13.35\00:29:15.35
and then kind of
recap what I said earlier
00:29:15.38\00:29:17.12
and that is,
00:29:17.15\00:29:18.49
what comes to my
mind is Proverbs 3:5-6.
00:29:18.52\00:29:21.79
Amen.
00:29:21.82\00:29:23.16
"Trust in the Lord
with all your heart
00:29:23.19\00:29:24.53
and lean not on
your own understanding,
00:29:24.56\00:29:25.89
in all your ways acknowledge Him
00:29:25.93\00:29:27.26
and He shall direct your path."
00:29:27.30\00:29:30.73
I want His righteousness
because mine's filthy rags.
00:29:30.77\00:29:34.10
So in order to
obtain His righteousness,
00:29:34.14\00:29:36.24
I have to do that by faith.
00:29:36.27\00:29:38.54
Amen. Whose faith?
00:29:38.57\00:29:39.91
Not my faith,
00:29:39.94\00:29:41.28
I'll have to
have faith in Christ,
00:29:41.31\00:29:42.68
so that His faith,
His exercising faith
00:29:42.71\00:29:45.45
can be replicated in me.
00:29:45.48\00:29:47.12
So through Christ's
faith, through the righteousness
00:29:47.15\00:29:50.59
that Christ has
already obtained,
00:29:50.62\00:29:52.12
I can also have that
what she has won victory over.
00:29:52.15\00:29:55.82
It's a victory over sin.
00:29:55.86\00:29:57.19
That's really what
righteousness by faith is,
00:29:57.23\00:29:58.86
victory over sin.
00:29:58.89\00:30:00.23
Absolutely.
00:30:00.26\00:30:01.60
To say in Zachariah 3 is
a beautiful word picture,
00:30:01.63\00:30:02.96
it shows God in His
throne judging, Chris,
00:30:03.00\00:30:04.87
Satan would be coming in
to throw everything at you,
00:30:04.90\00:30:06.53
that's your trash or junk.
00:30:06.57\00:30:08.20
And Jesus comes in and He says,
00:30:08.24\00:30:09.64
it's a brain plugged by
the fire, now it's at in.
00:30:09.67\00:30:12.34
What I think he
means to say is, he says,
00:30:12.37\00:30:14.04
you see his nail
pierced hand here.
00:30:14.08\00:30:15.98
I hung on a cross for
this my blood and die from it.
00:30:16.01\00:30:18.15
I purchased you from my blood.
00:30:18.18\00:30:19.51
And remember,
00:30:19.55\00:30:20.88
and Joshua was
in filthy garments
00:30:20.92\00:30:22.25
as you mentioned
before of the garments.
00:30:22.28\00:30:23.62
So Christ is only gonna take
that filthy garment off you,
00:30:23.65\00:30:25.69
put my robe of
righteousness over you.
00:30:25.72\00:30:27.69
Yes. So He's gonna cover you.
00:30:27.72\00:30:29.26
And while you guys are talking,
00:30:29.29\00:30:31.13
I thought that the lady
that was caught in adultery
00:30:31.16\00:30:33.36
that came and then before...
00:30:33.40\00:30:35.33
You know, was bought to Christ.
00:30:35.36\00:30:37.47
And then Christ
began to write in the sand,
00:30:37.50\00:30:40.57
and pretty soon all
of her accusers left.
00:30:40.60\00:30:43.44
Disappeared.
00:30:43.47\00:30:44.81
And he said, "Well,
where are thy accusers?"
00:30:44.84\00:30:47.44
Then she said,
"They're not here."
00:30:47.48\00:30:49.01
And what Did he say?
00:30:49.04\00:30:50.38
"Go and sin no more."
00:30:50.41\00:30:52.05
I can just almost picture like,
00:30:52.08\00:30:54.85
it was His
righteousness He was putting in
00:30:54.88\00:30:56.82
and covering her.
00:30:56.85\00:30:58.19
But in that righteousness,
00:30:58.22\00:31:00.09
He didn't say go back
and do what you were doing.
00:31:00.12\00:31:01.79
Yes.
00:31:01.82\00:31:03.16
He says, "Go and sin no more."
00:31:03.19\00:31:05.76
So Christ never
wants us to stay in sin.
00:31:05.79\00:31:08.50
He's always
pulling away from sin.
00:31:08.53\00:31:11.13
That's the one thing that
separates us from salvation,
00:31:11.17\00:31:15.20
from Jesus, from God,
00:31:15.24\00:31:16.74
from being the
citizen in the new world,
00:31:16.77\00:31:19.17
in heaven is sin.
00:31:19.21\00:31:20.68
So He says, "Go
and sin no more."
00:31:20.71\00:31:23.01
We can do that through history,
00:31:23.04\00:31:24.91
through His grace
and through His power.
00:31:24.95\00:31:26.95
Let me read this.
00:31:26.98\00:31:28.32
Took this out of
the commentary and just,
00:31:28.35\00:31:30.15
it certainly touched my heart.
00:31:30.19\00:31:32.62
God has a plan for you.
00:31:32.65\00:31:35.59
And upon
conversation, listen to this,
00:31:35.62\00:31:38.59
He gives you the
power to accelerate...
00:31:38.63\00:31:41.26
Well, there you go now.
00:31:41.30\00:31:42.86
For the
fulfillment of His purpose.
00:31:42.90\00:31:44.37
Amen.
00:31:44.40\00:31:46.00
Boy, all of a sudden,
00:31:46.03\00:31:48.10
because that's
where we get bogged down.
00:31:48.14\00:31:50.44
I'm not moving fast enough,
I'm not moving fast enough,
00:31:50.47\00:31:52.94
if you got a plan for
my life, let's have it.
00:31:52.97\00:31:55.38
But he's gonna
accelerate it at the right time.
00:31:55.41\00:31:57.21
That's right.
00:31:57.25\00:31:58.58
Amen. And wow!
00:31:58.61\00:32:00.68
I just
absolutely, thank you, Jesus.
00:32:00.72\00:32:03.39
Yes.
00:32:03.42\00:32:04.75
And, you know,
00:32:04.79\00:32:06.15
He's the one
that's always on time...
00:32:06.19\00:32:08.02
Yes. Lot of
time, like the enemy.
00:32:08.06\00:32:10.79
Thanks, well, I'm
the one that's in charge.
00:32:10.83\00:32:14.13
You gonna pay attention to this,
00:32:14.16\00:32:15.50
this is what you can have.
00:32:15.53\00:32:16.97
But the Lord said,
"Just hold on J.D.,
00:32:17.00\00:32:19.07
I'm going to accelerate
just at the right time.
00:32:19.10\00:32:22.17
Your wings going to
be blowing in the wind,
00:32:22.20\00:32:24.24
so just hold on, you know.
00:32:24.27\00:32:25.97
But anyway, I just
love that. That's beautiful.
00:32:26.01\00:32:27.64
Thank you, Jesus, that it's You
that does accelerate our plan.
00:32:27.68\00:32:30.61
Amen.
00:32:30.65\00:32:31.98
You know, Brother
Kenny, I have to read this one.
00:32:32.01\00:32:33.35
I saw this quote,
short, simple but to the point.
00:32:33.38\00:32:35.75
Come on now.
00:32:35.78\00:32:37.12
You want to talk about a quote
00:32:37.15\00:32:38.49
that really nails down
righteousness by faith.
00:32:38.52\00:32:39.85
Yes.
00:32:39.89\00:32:41.22
This comes from The
Upward Look, page 303.
00:32:41.26\00:32:44.09
Powerful, it's a
heavy hitter though,
00:32:44.13\00:32:45.53
are you ready for it?
00:32:45.56\00:32:46.90
I love it. Come on.
00:32:46.93\00:32:48.26
"Christ took humanity and
bore the hatred of the world
00:32:48.30\00:32:52.50
that He might
show men and women..."
00:32:52.53\00:32:55.70
Yes, go on. What
does he want to show us?
00:32:55.74\00:32:57.74
"That they could
live without sin."
00:32:57.77\00:33:00.38
Amen. Wow.
00:33:00.41\00:33:01.88
That's powerful. Yes.
00:33:01.91\00:33:03.24
That's
powerful. That's the goal.
00:33:03.28\00:33:04.61
People don't want to,
really want to hear that.
00:33:04.65\00:33:06.31
Do you know what?
00:33:06.35\00:33:07.68
But that is our message,
00:33:07.72\00:33:09.05
that's our message
to get to the world.
00:33:09.08\00:33:11.15
So that's beautiful,
00:33:11.19\00:33:12.52
I like those
punches once in a while.
00:33:12.55\00:33:14.69
I found one in the Testimonies
to Ministers, page 91 and 92.
00:33:14.72\00:33:18.99
Little paragraph,
that was really good.
00:33:19.03\00:33:21.73
Talking about
righteousness by faith
00:33:21.76\00:33:23.13
was to bring a more
prominently before the world,
00:33:23.16\00:33:26.10
is to be
brought more prominently
00:33:26.13\00:33:27.47
before the world.
00:33:27.50\00:33:28.84
"The uplifted Savior,
00:33:28.87\00:33:30.21
the sacrifice for the
sins of the whole world.
00:33:30.24\00:33:33.74
It presented justification
through faith in the Surety..."
00:33:33.78\00:33:36.71
who is the Surety?
00:33:36.75\00:33:38.08
Christ. Christ is.
00:33:38.11\00:33:39.78
"It invites the
people to receive
00:33:39.81\00:33:41.55
the righteousness of Christ,
00:33:41.58\00:33:43.72
which is made
manifest," notice this,
00:33:43.75\00:33:45.49
"made manifest in obedience
to all the commandments of God,
00:33:45.52\00:33:50.99
imparting the priceless gift
00:33:51.03\00:33:53.26
of our
righteousness to helpless man
00:33:53.29\00:33:56.36
or his
righteousness to helpless man."
00:33:56.40\00:33:58.60
That's right. So we...
00:33:58.63\00:34:00.04
If you really think
about we are helpless,
00:34:00.07\00:34:01.94
we are doomed, we are...
00:34:01.97\00:34:03.34
We could say we are finished.
00:34:03.37\00:34:04.71
Yes.
00:34:04.74\00:34:06.07
There's nothing that
can help us, only Christ.
00:34:06.11\00:34:08.31
That's right.
00:34:08.34\00:34:09.68
So we reach out to Him
and the world needs to know
00:34:09.71\00:34:11.11
that there is help
out there for them.
00:34:11.15\00:34:12.95
Reach out, and it
say and touch Him today.
00:34:12.98\00:34:16.25
And He will certainly share,
00:34:16.28\00:34:17.62
I'd say would give
that righteousness,
00:34:17.65\00:34:19.05
His righteousness.
00:34:19.09\00:34:20.42
At a place you
mentioned while ago
00:34:20.46\00:34:21.79
over filthy rags that
we are as human beings.
00:34:21.82\00:34:24.66
So praise God that we
have that surety in His Word.
00:34:24.69\00:34:28.23
Amen.
00:34:28.26\00:34:29.60
It's something the Lord gave
me just a couple of week ago,
00:34:29.63\00:34:31.13
He always gives me
these little quips.
00:34:31.17\00:34:32.50
Anyways it says,
00:34:32.53\00:34:33.87
"When you turn to the
pole, he takes control,
00:34:33.90\00:34:36.20
when you turn to the
cross self gets lost."
00:34:36.24\00:34:38.91
Oh, I love that.
00:34:38.94\00:34:40.31
Yeah. Praise...
00:34:40.34\00:34:41.71
You see, that's out part.
00:34:41.74\00:34:43.14
We've been talking
about through His power,
00:34:43.18\00:34:44.85
through His grace,
through His righteousness.
00:34:44.88\00:34:47.12
But our part is
to submit and commit,
00:34:47.15\00:34:50.55
and to make a decision.
00:34:50.59\00:34:51.92
You know, I have had
friends for many, many years.
00:34:51.95\00:34:54.46
They pray, they talk,
00:34:54.49\00:34:55.82
they get into
difficult times in their family.
00:34:55.86\00:34:58.19
And they're always like,
"Well, we want God to do this,
00:34:58.23\00:35:00.26
please pray He'll do that."
00:35:00.30\00:35:02.26
But as far as I know,
00:35:02.30\00:35:03.63
I've never even seen
a Bible in their home.
00:35:03.67\00:35:05.53
They may have a
Bible, but I've not seen it.
00:35:05.57\00:35:08.00
You know,
00:35:08.04\00:35:09.37
I've never seen
evidence of Bible study.
00:35:09.40\00:35:11.37
So, brothers and sisters,
those of you who are watching,
00:35:11.41\00:35:14.08
that is your part, turn,
00:35:14.11\00:35:15.94
submit and
commit your life to Him
00:35:15.98\00:35:17.58
and then begin to study.
00:35:17.61\00:35:19.01
That's right. Amen.
00:35:19.05\00:35:20.38
And ask, always praying
and ask for the guidance
00:35:20.42\00:35:22.05
for the Holy Spirit.
00:35:22.08\00:35:23.42
And then thus be this book.
00:35:23.45\00:35:26.05
The book, book becomes alive.
00:35:26.09\00:35:30.19
It is a living,
breathing, life changing book.
00:35:30.23\00:35:34.80
Because it's not
just words on a paper,
00:35:34.83\00:35:36.77
but it's backed up
by the Holy Spirit.
00:35:36.80\00:35:38.73
Amen.
00:35:38.77\00:35:40.10
You know, we like to
put our money in the banks,
00:35:40.14\00:35:41.80
and it's backed up by
the federal government.
00:35:41.84\00:35:44.44
Well, this is backed
up by the God of heaven.
00:35:44.47\00:35:47.88
You cannot lose,
00:35:47.91\00:35:49.38
and it is
powerful and it's living.
00:35:49.41\00:35:51.31
But we have to taste.
00:35:51.35\00:35:52.91
We have to take a bite of it.
00:35:52.95\00:35:54.52
A bite at a
time, a piece at a time
00:35:54.55\00:35:56.79
day by day, moment by moment,
00:35:56.82\00:35:58.52
being continuing,
learning to continue to be
00:35:58.55\00:36:01.59
in of atmosphere
prayer, you know.
00:36:01.62\00:36:05.03
Right. Amen.
00:36:05.06\00:36:06.39
Isn't that kind of
goes into the 1500s?
00:36:06.43\00:36:08.76
That's right.
00:36:08.80\00:36:10.13
Kind of get to that
in John Calvin on prayer.
00:36:10.17\00:36:12.57
What did he find out?
00:36:12.60\00:36:13.94
What did he find out
00:36:13.97\00:36:15.30
when he started reading
the scriptures about prayer?
00:36:15.34\00:36:17.11
That's right. What
do you no longer need?
00:36:17.14\00:36:19.24
That's right. You
no longer needed a...
00:36:19.27\00:36:21.21
We no longer needed in advance.
00:36:21.24\00:36:22.58
You didn't need a man,
you didn't need a priest,
00:36:22.61\00:36:24.15
right, for any kind
of intercession with God.
00:36:24.18\00:36:26.92
He knew He could...
00:36:26.95\00:36:28.28
That must have been so exciting,
00:36:28.32\00:36:29.65
maybe to be in
the Word all the time.
00:36:29.68\00:36:31.72
You love Jesus
with all your heart
00:36:31.75\00:36:33.09
and then one day,
it's boom over the head.
00:36:33.12\00:36:35.46
You get, you hear
this, "I don't need a man!"
00:36:35.49\00:36:37.79
That's right.
00:36:37.83\00:36:39.16
"I don't need a
women. I don't need Mary.
00:36:39.19\00:36:40.53
I don't need, you
know, anything to intercede.
00:36:40.56\00:36:42.76
Yeah, someone
called me, was this,
00:36:42.80\00:36:44.13
some of this material
I'm using from Ivor Myers,
00:36:44.17\00:36:45.63
he said something,
00:36:45.67\00:36:47.00
you think about the
booth, the confessional booth.
00:36:47.04\00:36:48.37
That's right.
00:36:48.40\00:36:49.74
There's a veil in
between, and a man sitting...
00:36:49.77\00:36:51.11
Two compartments. Right, right.
00:36:51.14\00:36:52.47
And that blows you
away because you think,
00:36:52.51\00:36:53.84
whoa, you're whole.
00:36:53.88\00:36:55.21
Oh, just another example
of what's the devil's done.
00:36:55.24\00:36:56.81
That's the replica of the...
00:36:56.85\00:36:58.21
It's the distortion of the...
00:36:58.25\00:36:59.58
perversion of the sanctuary.
00:36:59.61\00:37:00.95
You guys are going
to do it to me again
00:37:00.98\00:37:02.32
because you know
what is this all about,
00:37:02.35\00:37:04.12
this great controversy?
00:37:04.15\00:37:05.49
He wants worship,
00:37:05.52\00:37:07.06
and He has taken
the things of God
00:37:07.09\00:37:09.26
and turn them in the way
he wants to be worshiped.
00:37:09.29\00:37:12.63
Yes. But they
are not the right...
00:37:12.66\00:37:14.33
You mentioned
before the program,
00:37:14.36\00:37:16.23
you think better when
things are on your right,
00:37:16.26\00:37:18.53
that we all need to think right.
00:37:18.57\00:37:20.84
We have to go back to the Bible
to find what is the right way
00:37:20.87\00:37:24.11
because all this
spiritual confusion.
00:37:24.14\00:37:25.67
But...
00:37:25.71\00:37:27.58
I love this flow
because you have,
00:37:27.61\00:37:29.28
you have John Calvin,
00:37:29.31\00:37:31.01
his influence came
somewhat after Martin Luther.
00:37:31.05\00:37:34.82
That was technically
around the same time,
00:37:34.85\00:37:36.58
but still somewhat
after Martin Luther.
00:37:36.62\00:37:40.19
Martin Luther pointed people
away from the church to Christ.
00:37:40.22\00:37:46.53
Because the focus
that had basically
00:37:46.56\00:37:49.63
been centralized
within the church
00:37:49.66\00:37:51.60
was around the holy church,
00:37:51.63\00:37:53.57
that the church
had the authority,
00:37:53.60\00:37:54.94
the church had the power.
00:37:54.97\00:37:56.30
And, of course, the
man, the pope, the bishop
00:37:56.34\00:37:58.11
was the head of that church,
00:37:58.14\00:37:59.47
and everybody looked to the man,
00:37:59.51\00:38:00.84
looked to the church.
00:38:00.88\00:38:02.21
What God showed Martin Luther,
00:38:02.24\00:38:03.58
you know no, no, no
point back to Christ.
00:38:03.61\00:38:04.95
So Martin Luther pointed
us to the man, Jesus Christ.
00:38:04.98\00:38:07.48
Yes, amen.
00:38:07.52\00:38:08.85
And now follow this logic,
00:38:08.88\00:38:10.39
now what John Calvin
is looking and he said,
00:38:10.42\00:38:12.62
"Okay, if this gospel is really
about what Christ has done,
00:38:12.65\00:38:16.62
he started to see Jesus
00:38:16.66\00:38:17.99
for exactly whom the Bible
said that He was, a high priest.
00:38:18.03\00:38:20.40
He didn't have to go
00:38:20.43\00:38:21.76
to some manmade
earthly priest no more.
00:38:21.80\00:38:24.43
He could go as the
Book of Hebrews says,
00:38:24.47\00:38:26.17
to the high priest, Christ,
00:38:26.20\00:38:28.10
the only mediator
between God and man.
00:38:28.14\00:38:30.61
And that's exactly what
we see historically here
00:38:30.64\00:38:33.27
is right here along
this 1500s time frame,
00:38:33.31\00:38:36.44
John Calvin rises up and says,
00:38:36.48\00:38:37.81
"You know what?
00:38:37.85\00:38:39.18
Christ is My high priest.
00:38:39.21\00:38:40.55
I don't have to
go pray to some man
00:38:40.58\00:38:41.98
in a confessional booth.
00:38:42.02\00:38:43.35
I just need to
go to Jesus Christ.
00:38:43.39\00:38:44.82
He hears my
prayers, He forgives my sins.
00:38:44.85\00:38:47.56
So why would I need to return
to some man or some church?
00:38:47.59\00:38:50.53
So John Calvin helped to restore
00:38:50.56\00:38:52.86
that altar of incense.
00:38:52.89\00:38:54.30
Absolutely.
00:38:54.33\00:38:55.66
And which reminds
me of real quick...
00:38:55.70\00:38:57.03
I want to read
this quote real quickly.
00:38:57.07\00:38:58.60
Back to what we were
just speaking of earlier,
00:38:58.63\00:39:01.90
this quick quote
here, I love this,
00:39:01.94\00:39:03.27
this come from
the Faith I Live By,
00:39:03.30\00:39:05.41
page 197.
00:39:05.44\00:39:06.78
Now get this,
00:39:06.81\00:39:08.14
righteousness by faith
connection with the sanctuary.
00:39:08.18\00:39:11.08
She says "The incense ascending
with the prayers of Israel."
00:39:11.11\00:39:14.38
So she points to the altar.
00:39:14.42\00:39:16.25
"It represents the merits
and intercession of Christ."
00:39:16.28\00:39:20.56
And notice what she says here,
"His perfect righteousness,
00:39:20.59\00:39:26.13
which through faith,
righteousness by faith.
00:39:26.16\00:39:29.63
His perfect righteousness,
00:39:29.66\00:39:31.00
which through faith
is imputed to His people,
00:39:31.03\00:39:33.84
and which can alone
make the worship of sinful
00:39:33.87\00:39:36.67
being acceptable to God."
00:39:36.71\00:39:38.14
Amen. That's powerful.
00:39:38.17\00:39:39.57
So Christ is our intercessor,
He's the high priest.
00:39:39.61\00:39:42.14
Only through His righteousness
and through His faith
00:39:42.18\00:39:45.11
which is
replicated in our lives,
00:39:45.15\00:39:46.85
by faith in Him can we
come to the throne of God.
00:39:46.88\00:39:50.12
Yes. That's powerful.
00:39:50.15\00:39:51.49
That's powerful.
00:39:51.52\00:39:52.85
And it's through
that sanctuary message
00:39:52.89\00:39:54.22
which we are talking about.
00:39:54.26\00:39:55.59
And from a practical standpoint,
00:39:55.62\00:39:57.09
whoever we
communicate is normally
00:39:57.13\00:39:58.96
who we have relationship with.
00:39:58.99\00:40:00.43
That's right.
00:40:00.46\00:40:01.80
And so we can
take out the middle man
00:40:01.83\00:40:03.73
and go directly to the Man.
00:40:03.77\00:40:06.50
That is where the relationship
is established right there.
00:40:06.53\00:40:08.40
Amen.
00:40:08.44\00:40:10.31
And because He is the creator,
00:40:10.34\00:40:12.77
then He can make things
00:40:12.81\00:40:15.94
that we don't think is possible.
00:40:15.98\00:40:18.55
Possible. Amen.
00:40:18.58\00:40:20.28
All things are possible.
00:40:20.32\00:40:22.78
I say the altar and whatever
he's been talking about here,
00:40:22.82\00:40:25.19
was completely covered.
00:40:25.22\00:40:27.66
I mean, you know,
00:40:27.69\00:40:29.06
by manmade traditions
and thoughts and so on.
00:40:29.09\00:40:31.83
Now, why would the
enemy want to cover the altar
00:40:31.86\00:40:34.96
really of incense,
if you think about it?
00:40:35.00\00:40:37.27
What about when we pray?
00:40:37.30\00:40:39.93
What do I need?
00:40:39.97\00:40:41.57
What is the incense
that was put on the altar?
00:40:41.60\00:40:44.24
Remember the fire with the smoke
00:40:44.27\00:40:46.14
and it would go up over the veil
00:40:46.17\00:40:47.94
into the most holy place.
00:40:47.98\00:40:49.68
What is the incense?
00:40:49.71\00:40:51.05
What does it represent? Prayer.
00:40:51.08\00:40:52.91
Represents the prayers
of the saints of Christ.
00:40:52.95\00:40:54.32
Prayers of the saints.
00:40:54.35\00:40:55.68
But then was
myrrh and frankincense
00:40:55.72\00:40:58.22
and so on, those at
Christ's righteousness.
00:40:58.25\00:41:01.36
Their prayers are
going to be answered,
00:41:01.39\00:41:02.89
there' power going to be there.
00:41:02.92\00:41:04.56
It's going to
go up as it were...
00:41:04.59\00:41:05.93
To me, I want to think sometime
00:41:05.96\00:41:07.30
as the smoke that goes up.
00:41:07.33\00:41:08.66
But not about the fires,
smoke goes up, and we say,
00:41:08.70\00:41:11.03
I wonder sometime
too if that's not the...
00:41:11.07\00:41:13.07
We talk about the
forgiveness of sin
00:41:13.10\00:41:16.34
being burned up, it's gone.
00:41:16.37\00:41:17.97
You know, it's no more.
00:41:18.01\00:41:19.61
But also it's our prayers
00:41:19.64\00:41:21.31
mingled with Christ's
righteousness, the incense.
00:41:21.34\00:41:25.35
So you have the incense
as Christ's righteousness,
00:41:25.38\00:41:27.38
you have fire on that altar.
00:41:27.42\00:41:30.05
So we need to be
praying, when we pray,
00:41:30.09\00:41:31.69
we need to pray with fire.
00:41:31.72\00:41:33.29
That means through the
power of the Holy Spirit.
00:41:33.32\00:41:35.76
Around that altar
of incense was a crown.
00:41:35.79\00:41:39.53
You know, what
does a crown represent?
00:41:39.56\00:41:40.96
You know we talk
about in Scripture.
00:41:41.00\00:41:42.76
It's certainly,
it's victory, isn't it?
00:41:42.80\00:41:44.57
So there's victory in Christ.
00:41:44.60\00:41:46.67
So there's victory in
the blood of the Lamb.
00:41:46.70\00:41:48.94
Or you'd say,
00:41:48.97\00:41:50.31
"What do you mean,
blood of the Lamb?"
00:41:50.34\00:41:51.67
Because there was
four horns on that altar,
00:41:51.71\00:41:54.58
that the blood was applied,
00:41:54.61\00:41:55.94
you know, one time,
twice I guess every day, daily.
00:41:55.98\00:41:59.31
And then one
time ?of the year...
00:41:59.35\00:42:00.68
Blood to the horns.
00:42:00.72\00:42:02.05
To the horns,
and that means what?
00:42:02.08\00:42:03.42
The blood, that's
power, horns represents power.
00:42:03.45\00:42:05.92
That's right.
00:42:05.95\00:42:07.29
So we have power through
the blood of Jesus Christ.
00:42:07.32\00:42:09.92
Right? He mingles with, right?
00:42:09.96\00:42:12.19
He elevates us as we're
up and over, we'd say...
00:42:12.23\00:42:15.53
Amen. I praise God for that.
00:42:15.56\00:42:18.00
John Calvin saw that
that you were talking about.
00:42:18.03\00:42:20.37
He saw that
because of Jesus Christ
00:42:20.40\00:42:23.74
and while He lived and He died,
00:42:23.77\00:42:25.81
and He gave to mankind
00:42:25.84\00:42:28.41
that the wrath
of God was appeased.
00:42:28.44\00:42:32.61
Think about it,
because of Jesus Christ,
00:42:32.65\00:42:34.58
we're looking at today, right?
00:42:34.62\00:42:36.65
That's how we get
forgiveness of sin.
00:42:36.69\00:42:38.55
It's not because I'm
begging and pleading,
00:42:38.59\00:42:39.92
and I'm on my knees
and I'm, you know it's...
00:42:39.95\00:42:43.36
You know we should
maybe do that at times.
00:42:43.39\00:42:45.23
But it's simply because of
Jesus Christ and His blood,
00:42:45.26\00:42:49.23
His righteousness
that we can bowl it, right?
00:42:49.26\00:42:53.57
Bowl it to the throne.
00:42:53.60\00:42:56.10
A grace to find
help in our time of need.
00:42:56.14\00:42:59.21
This is something I
think that we need to study
00:42:59.24\00:43:01.54
more and more about
00:43:01.58\00:43:02.91
that smoke that's
going over the veil,
00:43:02.94\00:43:05.75
again another thought,
00:43:05.78\00:43:07.12
it's just, you
know, we talk about,
00:43:07.15\00:43:08.48
is think about it
is that sin, right?
00:43:08.52\00:43:12.02
Had been traded in for
the righteousness of Christ.
00:43:12.05\00:43:15.79
I mean, that's heavy duty study
00:43:15.82\00:43:17.16
when you get to
thinking about it.
00:43:17.19\00:43:18.69
Yeah, it's fantastic,
00:43:18.73\00:43:20.06
because if you think of it
in relation to the sanctuary,
00:43:20.10\00:43:22.86
our job is to
come to the sanctuary,
00:43:22.90\00:43:25.20
come to Christ,
00:43:25.23\00:43:26.70
and plead in
sincerity for forgiveness.
00:43:26.74\00:43:29.77
When we... You
think about the sanctuary.
00:43:29.80\00:43:31.84
The sinner would place his hands
00:43:31.87\00:43:33.21
upon the head of that lamb.
00:43:33.24\00:43:34.81
And then after he
would confess his sins,
00:43:34.84\00:43:36.85
again that lamb
representing Christ,
00:43:36.88\00:43:38.81
he would then take the knife
00:43:38.85\00:43:40.18
and he would take
the life of that lamb.
00:43:40.22\00:43:41.58
Now, the priest figure
would then take a receptor bowl
00:43:41.62\00:43:44.99
of some kind, catch
that blood in the bowl,
00:43:45.02\00:43:47.52
and now the sins,
the record of sins
00:43:47.56\00:43:50.09
which is in the
blood symbolically
00:43:50.13\00:43:51.79
is now taken into the sanctuary,
00:43:51.83\00:43:53.40
it's been
transferred into the sanctuary.
00:43:53.43\00:43:55.33
So we have to be
willing, it all begin,
00:43:55.36\00:43:57.47
all starts with a
harmless, a willingness
00:43:57.50\00:44:00.80
where we has to
come to Christ to say,
00:44:00.84\00:44:02.24
"Lord, take what I
can give you know."
00:44:02.27\00:44:04.67
And so, we come
and we give it to him,
00:44:04.71\00:44:06.94
and then he takes the record
into that most holy place.
00:44:06.98\00:44:10.01
It's transferred in,
00:44:10.05\00:44:11.38
now as that incense goes
up, and this is what I love.
00:44:11.41\00:44:12.88
Check this out.
00:44:12.91\00:44:14.25
We're going to get to it,
00:44:14.28\00:44:15.62
maybe not today,
maybe another time.
00:44:15.65\00:44:16.99
But as that incense goes up,
00:44:17.02\00:44:18.35
notice how it's
going over the veil,
00:44:18.39\00:44:19.72
it's going to go in
the most holy place.
00:44:19.75\00:44:21.09
Yes, it is.
00:44:21.12\00:44:22.46
It's going to go
into the most holy place.
00:44:22.49\00:44:23.83
Yes. Yeah.
00:44:23.86\00:44:25.19
That's right.
00:44:25.23\00:44:27.00
Where Christ is right now,
00:44:27.03\00:44:29.13
He's our high
priest, the Bible tells us
00:44:29.16\00:44:31.03
that we're living
in a judgment time.
00:44:31.07\00:44:33.03
Christ is our high priest,
00:44:33.07\00:44:34.40
He's doing a work
in the most holy place
00:44:34.44\00:44:37.44
to cleanse that
sanctuary, cleanse...
00:44:37.47\00:44:39.31
From all those
sins of all the world
00:44:39.34\00:44:41.71
through all history.
00:44:41.74\00:44:43.08
That's what
you're talking about.
00:44:43.11\00:44:44.45
It's His blood, His
merits, we'd like to say,
00:44:44.48\00:44:46.48
in that incense,
you think about incense,
00:44:46.51\00:44:49.38
it tells of Jesus Christ, right?
00:44:49.42\00:44:51.55
You had what was myrrh.
00:44:51.59\00:44:53.05
What did that tell about?
00:44:53.09\00:44:55.22
That the
sacrifice is going to die.
00:44:55.26\00:44:56.73
That's right.
00:44:56.76\00:44:58.09
And you think about,
then you talk about gold,
00:44:58.13\00:44:59.93
what that represent?
00:44:59.96\00:45:01.30
That He was
divine. That's right.
00:45:01.33\00:45:03.26
Then you have the frankincense,
00:45:03.30\00:45:04.63
it means, He's a
preserver of life.
00:45:04.67\00:45:07.27
That's so beautiful
00:45:07.30\00:45:08.64
when you think about
the preserver of life
00:45:08.67\00:45:10.54
is wrapping His arms of love
00:45:10.57\00:45:11.91
around each and every one of us.
00:45:11.94\00:45:14.04
And He's inviting us to come in.
00:45:14.08\00:45:15.54
He's inviting us to say,
00:45:15.58\00:45:16.91
lay everything that
you have on the altar.
00:45:16.95\00:45:19.35
I'll take it from
you, all your burdens,
00:45:19.38\00:45:21.15
all your sins, all
the misery that you have.
00:45:21.18\00:45:23.52
And I'll replace it
with joy and sweetness
00:45:23.55\00:45:25.19
of the Holy Spirit.
00:45:25.22\00:45:26.82
We need to be
praying more in the spirit,
00:45:26.86\00:45:28.62
isn't that right?
00:45:28.66\00:45:29.99
That's right. Amen.
00:45:30.03\00:45:31.36
Amen. Ooh!
00:45:31.39\00:45:32.73
Hallelujah!
00:45:32.76\00:45:34.10
Go ahead. I think this fits.
00:45:34.13\00:45:35.80
What I mean, to
me it certainly fits.
00:45:35.83\00:45:38.23
It's the way I'm
talking about now is,
00:45:38.27\00:45:40.14
of course, is Romans 8:26.
00:45:40.17\00:45:42.94
Even whenever we feel
like we may not be an adequate,
00:45:42.97\00:45:46.17
we may be inadequate,
00:45:46.21\00:45:48.38
but yet if we
would step out in faith
00:45:48.41\00:45:50.68
and just the
utterances are going up,
00:45:50.71\00:45:53.78
they're the very
best that you can.
00:45:53.82\00:45:55.92
Then the Holy Spirit then
is gonna super charge that.
00:45:55.95\00:46:01.79
He's going to
interpret. Interpret, exactly.
00:46:01.82\00:46:04.46
What we fail to be
able to communicate.
00:46:04.49\00:46:06.23
Yes, Lord, You know
what I'm trying to say.
00:46:06.26\00:46:07.60
Read that text, read that text.
00:46:07.63\00:46:08.96
It's beautiful what it says.
00:46:09.00\00:46:10.33
"Likewise the spirit
also helps in our weaknesses,
00:46:10.37\00:46:13.07
for we do not know
00:46:13.10\00:46:14.64
what we should
pray for as we ought,
00:46:14.67\00:46:17.07
but the spirit himself
makes intercession for us
00:46:17.11\00:46:20.61
with groanings
which cannot be uttered."
00:46:20.64\00:46:22.68
Praise God.
00:46:22.71\00:46:24.05
I mean, that is just,
to me it's just beautiful.
00:46:24.08\00:46:25.58
Yeah, we can't because I
find myself so many times.
00:46:25.61\00:46:27.38
I don't know about you guys,
I find myself so many times,
00:46:27.42\00:46:29.75
you know, the devil,
he could seek it to us.
00:46:29.78\00:46:31.65
No matter how much we think
we're strong, he gets to us.
00:46:31.69\00:46:34.79
And there's times that
I just fall on my knees
00:46:34.82\00:46:36.32
and I want to say a prayer.
00:46:36.36\00:46:37.93
And I don't know what to pray.
00:46:37.96\00:46:39.79
And so praise
God for that promise
00:46:39.83\00:46:41.43
because I know
that I can just call out
00:46:41.46\00:46:43.10
on the name of Jesus
and say, "Lord, save me."
00:46:43.13\00:46:46.00
And then somehow He's
gonna take those few words
00:46:46.03\00:46:48.04
and He's going to go right
to the throne of God and say,
00:46:48.07\00:46:50.17
"This is what Ryan needs."
00:46:50.21\00:46:51.54
Yeah, this is what he
wants to say, you know.
00:46:51.57\00:46:55.81
And there's
people that say that.
00:46:55.84\00:46:57.35
You know, when you're
working with them in whatever,
00:46:57.38\00:46:59.25
they'll say, "Oh,
I've never prayed before."
00:46:59.28\00:47:01.95
And then they'll say,
00:47:01.98\00:47:03.35
"I don't know even how to pray."
00:47:03.39\00:47:04.72
Right.
00:47:04.75\00:47:06.09
We can give them
some good news here,
00:47:06.12\00:47:07.46
isn't that right?
00:47:07.49\00:47:08.82
God reads the
heart. He knows the heart.
00:47:08.86\00:47:10.36
He knows the
heart, and He'll answer
00:47:10.39\00:47:12.13
according to what's best for us.
00:47:12.16\00:47:13.50
And there are still
people that are in bondage,
00:47:13.53\00:47:15.70
still people that feel like
they have to go through a man.
00:47:15.73\00:47:18.83
You know part of the question
00:47:18.87\00:47:20.44
that we didn't
actually read the question.
00:47:20.47\00:47:22.04
But it says, what can we do
00:47:22.07\00:47:23.41
to help free the
people from this deception?
00:47:23.44\00:47:25.57
One of the best
passages is Hebrews 4:14-16.
00:47:25.61\00:47:30.41
It says, "Seeing then
that we have a High Priest
00:47:30.45\00:47:34.02
and is passed into the heavens.
00:47:34.05\00:47:36.55
Jesus the Son of God,
00:47:36.58\00:47:38.59
let us hold fast our profession.
00:47:38.62\00:47:41.56
For we have not a High Priest
00:47:41.59\00:47:43.12
that cannot be touched
00:47:43.16\00:47:44.49
with the feelings
of our infirmities,
00:47:44.53\00:47:46.29
but was in all point tempted
00:47:46.33\00:47:49.23
like as we are yet without sin."
00:47:49.26\00:47:51.40
Remember, and
this is something else
00:47:51.43\00:47:53.64
that I wanted to point out.
00:47:53.67\00:47:55.37
You know, the
restitution of all things.
00:47:55.40\00:47:58.11
Acts 3 tells us that
Christ had to go back to heaven,
00:47:58.14\00:48:01.68
so everything could be restored.
00:48:01.71\00:48:03.24
That's right.
00:48:03.28\00:48:04.61
And yet so many
people in Christendom say,
00:48:04.65\00:48:06.51
"It was all done at the cross."
00:48:06.55\00:48:08.48
And, you know, it was years
ago before I understood this,
00:48:08.52\00:48:10.55
I thought if
it's all at the cross,
00:48:10.59\00:48:12.62
why are we still here, you know?
00:48:12.65\00:48:14.62
They're dwelling
in the courtyard.
00:48:14.66\00:48:16.96
Yeah.
00:48:16.99\00:48:18.33
They haven't went
into the holy place yet.
00:48:18.36\00:48:19.69
And then you got sum
that are in the holy place,
00:48:19.73\00:48:21.50
but haven't yet experienced
the most holy place experience.
00:48:21.53\00:48:24.17
Come on, that's exactly right.
00:48:24.20\00:48:26.63
Jesus greeting
on in Hebrews 4:16.
00:48:26.67\00:48:29.60
It says, "Let us therefore,"
is what we talked about,
00:48:29.64\00:48:32.87
"come boldly unto
the throne of grace
00:48:32.91\00:48:35.84
that we may obtain mercy."
00:48:35.88\00:48:37.78
Do we ever need mercy?
00:48:37.81\00:48:39.95
That we may obtain
mercy, and find grace,
00:48:39.98\00:48:43.28
the help in time of need.
00:48:43.32\00:48:45.59
Brother and
sisters, what a promise.
00:48:45.62\00:48:47.86
You want mercy today,
00:48:47.89\00:48:49.46
you want His
grace, His forgiveness,
00:48:49.49\00:48:51.79
His robe of
everlasting righteousness
00:48:51.83\00:48:54.30
and love for you, it's there.
00:48:54.33\00:48:56.80
You just need to ask for it.
00:48:56.83\00:48:58.17
That's right. By
faith, pray by faith.
00:48:58.20\00:48:59.53
We need to pray by faith.
00:48:59.57\00:49:00.90
Amen. That's powerful.
00:49:00.94\00:49:02.30
Powerful scripture
in 2 Corinthians 5:21
00:49:02.34\00:49:04.87
which relates to
what you were saying.
00:49:04.91\00:49:06.24
"For he hath made
him to be sin for us,
00:49:06.27\00:49:08.68
who knew no sin
that we might be made
00:49:08.71\00:49:10.38
the
righteousness of God in Him."
00:49:10.41\00:49:11.75
Amen.
00:49:11.78\00:49:13.11
So the idea of that
righteousness of God,
00:49:13.15\00:49:14.58
yeah, in Him.
00:49:14.62\00:49:15.95
Is it possible
that, as Sabbath keepers,
00:49:15.98\00:49:19.92
and believing on
all Ten Commandments
00:49:19.95\00:49:23.02
by the grace of
God can keep those.
00:49:23.06\00:49:25.16
I am a true
believer in victory over sin.
00:49:25.19\00:49:27.50
Why? Because
Jesus is my example.
00:49:27.53\00:49:29.80
Right? That's right
00:49:29.83\00:49:31.17
He says, "We can gain victory,
00:49:31.20\00:49:32.53
all things are
possible through Him."
00:49:32.57\00:49:33.90
But is it possible that maybe
00:49:33.94\00:49:35.70
that we sometime
bolster up to and lean against
00:49:35.74\00:49:39.87
maybe we keep the law.
00:49:39.91\00:49:43.18
Because we keep
it, we're justified.
00:49:43.21\00:49:46.21
And even if we don't, the
world seems to think that we do.
00:49:46.25\00:49:51.45
In one passage there
in Romans, was it 3:28?
00:49:51.49\00:49:54.02
I got 28 here, it
says, "Therefore we conclude
00:49:54.06\00:49:56.12
that a man is justified by faith
00:49:56.16\00:49:59.19
without the deeds of the law."
00:49:59.23\00:50:01.93
That's right. That's kind of...
00:50:01.96\00:50:03.30
So how we justify?
00:50:03.33\00:50:05.23
By keeping, by doing?
00:50:05.27\00:50:06.60
No, but we realize that
we're going to have to work,
00:50:06.63\00:50:08.70
we realize we're going to
do, because we love Jesus.
00:50:08.74\00:50:11.01
But I like this here,
faith, we're justified by faith
00:50:11.04\00:50:14.08
that we've been talking about
in our Lord and our Savior.
00:50:14.11\00:50:18.01
Well, and it goes back
00:50:18.05\00:50:19.41
because we're not justified
by the deeds of the law.
00:50:19.45\00:50:22.28
Remember, our very best
acts are as filthy rags.
00:50:22.32\00:50:26.02
So our deeds even
though Jesus said,
00:50:26.05\00:50:28.42
"If you love Me,
keep My commandments."
00:50:28.46\00:50:30.13
I mean, we are to strive
to keep those commandments,
00:50:30.16\00:50:32.49
we're strive to be like Christ,
00:50:32.53\00:50:34.60
but our very best is
still as the filthy rag.
00:50:34.63\00:50:36.93
It's not good
enough. That's right.
00:50:36.97\00:50:38.30
So He is everything,
00:50:38.33\00:50:39.67
He is all in all
and in everything,
00:50:39.70\00:50:42.60
every piece is the Word of God.
00:50:42.64\00:50:44.37
I just want to
add really quickly
00:50:44.41\00:50:46.07
'cause I know our
time is ticking away.
00:50:46.11\00:50:47.58
But I want to
add this for someone
00:50:47.61\00:50:48.94
who may be watching,
00:50:48.98\00:50:50.31
who may not be aware
of this, but the gospel,
00:50:50.35\00:50:52.68
we're talking about
that experience with Christ,
00:50:52.71\00:50:54.88
that righteousness
by faith experience.
00:50:54.92\00:50:58.25
There are two realities
that one must experience,
00:50:58.29\00:51:01.36
and will experience if
you are really fully abiding
00:51:01.39\00:51:04.53
in the vine of Jesus Christ.
00:51:04.56\00:51:06.23
Number one, justification.
00:51:06.26\00:51:07.60
When you come to Christ
as we've been talking about.
00:51:07.63\00:51:09.60
Justification,
you're truly pardoned.
00:51:09.63\00:51:11.87
Justification, I think,
00:51:11.90\00:51:13.23
another word for
that is pardoned.
00:51:13.27\00:51:14.60
You are pardoned.
00:51:14.64\00:51:15.97
God shows you grace,
00:51:16.00\00:51:17.34
He gives you what
you don't deserve.
00:51:17.37\00:51:18.71
I found this quote
here, Review and Herald,
00:51:18.74\00:51:20.08
August 19, 1890,
00:51:20.11\00:51:21.64
"To be pardoned in the
way that Christ pardons
00:51:21.68\00:51:23.85
is not only to be forgiven,
00:51:23.88\00:51:26.15
but to be renewed in
the spirit of your mind.
00:51:26.18\00:51:29.15
The Lord says, 'A new
heart will I give unto thee.'
00:51:29.18\00:51:31.69
The image of
Christ is to be stamped
00:51:31.72\00:51:33.56
upon the very
mind, heart, and soul.'"
00:51:33.59\00:51:36.12
So Christ comes, He pardons us.
00:51:36.16\00:51:38.09
But being pardoned
is kind of the vehicle,
00:51:38.13\00:51:41.06
the avenue that
takes us into the direction
00:51:41.10\00:51:43.90
that Christ
wants to ultimately do
00:51:43.93\00:51:45.50
and that's to
experience sanctification.
00:51:45.53\00:51:48.10
We are pardoned,
00:51:48.14\00:51:49.90
and that's the
beginning process.
00:51:49.94\00:51:51.51
But then the lifelong process...
00:51:51.54\00:51:53.94
Did you hear, I
want to emphasize that,
00:51:53.98\00:51:55.54
the lifelong process
that we'll continue dating.
00:51:55.58\00:51:59.08
What did Paul
say? "I die daily."
00:51:59.11\00:52:01.42
The fact that he had
to get up and die daily.
00:52:01.45\00:52:03.28
Communicates and
implies that this is a daily,
00:52:03.32\00:52:06.19
ongoing life long
process of sanctification
00:52:06.22\00:52:09.29
and I just want to add in here,
00:52:09.32\00:52:10.83
Christ wants to sanctify
us by the truth of His Word.
00:52:10.86\00:52:14.83
And one scripture
that comes unto me,
00:52:14.86\00:52:16.60
I love this right here.
00:52:16.63\00:52:17.97
"I can do all
things through Christ
00:52:18.00\00:52:19.43
who strengthens me."
00:52:19.47\00:52:20.84
Christ wants to sanctify us.
00:52:20.87\00:52:22.67
And another one Jude
1, Jude 24 and 25 says,
00:52:22.70\00:52:26.17
"Now unto him that is
able to keep you from falling,
00:52:26.21\00:52:30.18
and to present you faultless
00:52:30.21\00:52:31.98
before the
presence of his glory."
00:52:32.01\00:52:33.62
So when we're talking
about righteousness by faith
00:52:33.65\00:52:36.08
in this amazing experience
that we're experiencing.
00:52:36.12\00:52:38.85
He does want to pardon us,
He does want to justify us,
00:52:38.89\00:52:41.66
because we've come to Him.
00:52:41.69\00:52:43.49
But now He wants to sanctify us.
00:52:43.53\00:52:45.33
Amen.
00:52:45.36\00:52:46.70
That's what the
sanctuary is about
00:52:46.73\00:52:48.06
so that holy place experience
00:52:48.10\00:52:49.43
is about to
sanctify us from our sins.
00:52:49.46\00:52:51.67
So that we can eventually
walk into the most holy place
00:52:51.70\00:52:54.57
in the presence of God.
00:52:54.60\00:52:55.94
Yes. Amen.
00:52:55.97\00:52:57.31
That's the sanctuary.
That will get me started.
00:52:57.34\00:52:58.67
That's life and
death, that's good.
00:52:58.71\00:53:00.44
That's life and death issue
00:53:00.48\00:53:01.81
that we realize
here from the sanctuary,
00:53:01.84\00:53:03.75
we must make that
movement to the most holy place.
00:53:03.78\00:53:06.85
We have to be where, what?
00:53:06.88\00:53:08.22
Where Jesus is. That's right.
00:53:08.25\00:53:10.45
And when He leaves something,
it's very interesting.
00:53:10.49\00:53:12.35
The enemy has a way
00:53:12.39\00:53:13.72
in which he tries to
come in and counterfeit it.
00:53:13.76\00:53:15.22
That's right.
00:53:15.26\00:53:16.59
It's a lot of
good study in there.
00:53:16.62\00:53:17.96
I love this point
too, real quickly.
00:53:17.99\00:53:19.33
You know, did God save
the Jewish people from Egypt?
00:53:19.36\00:53:22.53
No.
00:53:22.56\00:53:23.90
Now, understand this.
00:53:23.93\00:53:25.27
Did He save them
from Egypt? Yeah.
00:53:25.30\00:53:26.70
Did He bring them out of Egypt?
He brought them out. Yeah.
00:53:26.74\00:53:28.70
Did He bring them out of Egypt
00:53:28.74\00:53:30.14
and directly into
the Promised Land?
00:53:30.17\00:53:32.17
No, no, you had
to think to buy that.
00:53:32.21\00:53:34.61
So notice how the
pardoning aspect was.
00:53:34.64\00:53:37.18
I'm getting you out of
this bondage, I'm saving.
00:53:37.21\00:53:39.78
I'm giving you
what you don't deserve.
00:53:39.81\00:53:41.25
But I'm gonna
take you out of Egypt.
00:53:41.28\00:53:42.62
I'm pulling you out
of the land of bondage.
00:53:42.65\00:53:44.62
But they still had to go
00:53:44.65\00:53:45.99
through this 40 year
of sanctifying experience
00:53:46.02\00:53:49.16
before they could go
into the Promised Land.
00:53:49.19\00:53:50.79
That's right. So
why are we still here?
00:53:50.83\00:53:52.53
Jesus has a work to do.
00:53:52.56\00:53:53.90
He still has a
work to finish in us.
00:53:53.93\00:53:55.26
I praise God for that.
00:53:55.30\00:53:56.67
Think of how many people,
00:53:56.70\00:53:58.13
only two were able to go
in by the time it was done.
00:53:58.17\00:54:01.17
Oh, have mercy.
00:54:01.20\00:54:02.87
Only two, you know.
00:54:02.90\00:54:04.67
And we bicker in and sit down
00:54:04.71\00:54:07.34
and try to study the
Word of God, 144,000,
00:54:07.38\00:54:10.21
is it this, or is
it that, you know.
00:54:10.25\00:54:12.11
It's okay to study these things,
00:54:12.15\00:54:13.48
we understand that.
00:54:13.52\00:54:14.85
But remember in the
Promised Land how many,
00:54:14.88\00:54:16.69
you know, in the Promised Land
00:54:16.72\00:54:18.05
how many really
entered in, she just said.
00:54:18.09\00:54:19.82
How many entered in the
ark at the time of the flood?
00:54:19.85\00:54:22.59
Very small, remnant,
00:54:22.62\00:54:24.33
that's going to be
saving God's kingdom.
00:54:24.36\00:54:25.89
You can be one of those.
00:54:25.93\00:54:27.30
Anyone who wants
to be, simply say,
00:54:27.33\00:54:28.86
right now I'm gonna put
Jesus in my heart, in my life.
00:54:28.90\00:54:31.20
I'm going to
follow Him all the way.
00:54:31.23\00:54:33.90
And I guarantee
if you're praying,
00:54:33.94\00:54:35.27
you want to know the
truth, is this truth.
00:54:35.30\00:54:37.17
God's going to
reveal that to you.
00:54:37.21\00:54:38.54
Absolutely.
00:54:38.57\00:54:39.91
I'm convinced that
He would end somebody
00:54:39.94\00:54:41.28
around the world if He needs to,
00:54:41.31\00:54:43.45
to make sure somebody's praying,
00:54:43.48\00:54:44.81
I want to know...
00:54:44.85\00:54:46.18
He's going to do His end. Amen.
00:54:46.21\00:54:48.35
He always keeps
that going, doesn't He?
00:54:48.38\00:54:49.72
Amen.
00:54:49.75\00:54:51.09
You know, we don't
have a whole lot of time,
00:54:51.12\00:54:52.62
but I thought just mention
at least the candlestick.
00:54:52.65\00:54:54.86
I thought the lamp stand.
00:54:54.89\00:54:56.49
Because it's talking about
John Wesley here in the 1700s.
00:54:56.52\00:55:00.06
What did he want?
00:55:00.10\00:55:01.46
We went over the lesson.
00:55:01.50\00:55:02.83
What did he really
want everybody to become?
00:55:02.86\00:55:05.13
Lights.
00:55:05.17\00:55:07.10
Yeah, several answers on it.
00:55:07.14\00:55:09.50
But light into the world.
00:55:09.54\00:55:10.87
He wanted everybody
to become evangelist,
00:55:10.91\00:55:12.87
to be missionary, to
shine the light, you know,
00:55:12.91\00:55:16.78
the seven branched candlestick.
00:55:16.81\00:55:19.25
What happened to that?
00:55:19.28\00:55:20.62
Let's say, you know,
daily, what happened?
00:55:20.65\00:55:24.19
The light you had
because of the oil.
00:55:24.22\00:55:25.89
What does the oil represent?
00:55:25.92\00:55:27.42
The Holy
Spirit. The Holy Spirit.
00:55:27.46\00:55:29.12
And so, yeah.
00:55:29.16\00:55:30.49
And so what
happens when that wick,
00:55:30.53\00:55:32.49
we talk about there,
when it begin to go down
00:55:32.53\00:55:35.43
and the oil begin to
run out, what happen?
00:55:35.46\00:55:37.70
It had to be
changed, isn't that right?
00:55:37.73\00:55:39.73
You mentioned,
kind of, while ago,
00:55:39.77\00:55:41.10
what happens when that
is changed out, you know.
00:55:41.14\00:55:44.31
Children had to wander for
40 years in the wilderness.
00:55:44.34\00:55:46.98
But we as a people,
00:55:47.01\00:55:48.34
we look at that
and we say, when we...
00:55:48.38\00:55:50.65
When our wicks,
00:55:50.68\00:55:52.01
spiritual wicks need
to be trimmed, you know,
00:55:52.05\00:55:54.68
and the light as it were,
00:55:54.72\00:55:56.38
you know, the oil is going down.
00:55:56.42\00:55:57.79
Right. That means what?
00:55:57.82\00:55:59.49
They had. What they had?
00:55:59.52\00:56:00.86
They had mufflers,
00:56:00.89\00:56:02.22
you know wherever
they put out the light.
00:56:02.26\00:56:03.69
But when that happen
and the light went out,
00:56:03.73\00:56:05.53
what was that
simply represented?
00:56:05.56\00:56:07.63
When tests and
trials come to us,
00:56:07.66\00:56:09.26
it takes a long
time to get to it.
00:56:09.30\00:56:10.83
But when tests and trials
come and then we are relit.
00:56:10.87\00:56:14.77
We're stronger and
brighter than ever before
00:56:14.80\00:56:17.51
because of tests and
trials that God used.
00:56:17.54\00:56:19.24
Very well put.
00:56:19.27\00:56:20.61
Yeah. Praise God.
00:56:20.64\00:56:21.98
We ought to be strong some day.
00:56:22.01\00:56:23.35
Yeah, and help me, you know,
00:56:23.38\00:56:24.71
maybe next time we can
expand upon that even more.
00:56:24.75\00:56:28.72
You know, Jesus
says in the Word of God
00:56:28.75\00:56:30.52
to not forsake yourselves
the assembling together.
00:56:30.55\00:56:34.22
As I listen to everybody
how the Lord has touched
00:56:34.26\00:56:37.26
and given all of you
a word in due season.
00:56:37.29\00:56:40.33
This is the reason why.
00:56:40.36\00:56:41.80
We cannot be a
candle on our own.
00:56:41.83\00:56:45.83
We need to be shining our light,
00:56:45.87\00:56:47.30
sharing our light,
00:56:47.34\00:56:48.67
and together we build,
00:56:48.70\00:56:50.21
together we grow,
together you at home
00:56:50.24\00:56:52.61
are growing prayerfully with us.
00:56:52.64\00:56:54.81
I think we need to
have a closing prayer.
00:56:54.84\00:56:56.64
We just have two
minutes. We need those...
00:56:56.68\00:56:58.08
Is it snuffers? Was it snuffers?
00:56:58.11\00:56:59.78
There we go.
00:56:59.81\00:57:01.48
Absolutely, in our life.
00:57:01.52\00:57:02.95
We need a quick
prayer before we end.
00:57:02.98\00:57:04.72
We thank you for joining
us. What a blessing that it.
00:57:04.75\00:57:07.22
Brother, Don, how about
you, a quick prayer to end up?
00:57:07.26\00:57:08.92
All right.
00:57:08.96\00:57:10.29
Heavenly Father, we
want to thank You, Lord,
00:57:10.33\00:57:11.66
for expounding on us Your Word
00:57:11.69\00:57:13.09
and for showing
us in that light,
00:57:13.13\00:57:15.10
Lord, light that
expounds our minds,
00:57:15.13\00:57:16.73
understand the sanctuary
00:57:16.77\00:57:18.13
and how we can move
through each chamber
00:57:18.17\00:57:20.34
in that
sanctuary together with You
00:57:20.37\00:57:21.90
as we talked about
00:57:21.94\00:57:23.27
justifying us
through Your blood,
00:57:23.30\00:57:24.67
sanctifying us in that
process that we can, Lord,
00:57:24.71\00:57:27.18
walk in that most
holy place one day soon,
00:57:27.21\00:57:29.41
to see you face to face
00:57:29.44\00:57:30.78
and know we can
hear those words,
00:57:30.81\00:57:32.15
well done, thou good
and faithful servant.
00:57:32.18\00:57:33.98
Your title is clear.
00:57:34.02\00:57:35.35
We thank you and we
ask this in Jesus' name.
00:57:35.38\00:57:37.42
Amen. Amen.
00:57:37.45\00:57:38.82
Praise the Lord.
00:57:38.85\00:57:40.19
