WE PRAISE THE LORD. 01:45 WE'LL GO RIGHT TO OUR MUSIC AND WE'LL COME BACK AND LAUNCH OUT. 01:51 WE WANT TO MOVE TO JUSTIFICATION. 01:55 JUSTIFICATION IS SO BEAUTIFUL, WHEN MARTIN LUTHER WAS STUDYING, 01:59 HE STOPPED THERE. HE DIDN'T REALLY GET TO 02:08 SANCTICATION. WE WILL UNPACK IS IN A LITTLE 02:09 BIT. WHAT A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, 02:13 GOD-BREATHED DOCTRINE. AND FOR NOW, OUR MUSIC IS COMING 02:19 FROM PASTOR JOHN LOMACANG. AND HE WILL BE SINGING "A 02:26 CHASING OF THE WIND."

WE MOVE TO THE DOCTRINE OF 07:00 PROCLAMATION, DOCTRINE THAT FREED MARTIN LUTHER FROM THE 07:05 FELLOWS FROM THE PLEASURE OF GOD, FROM THE PILGRIMAGES AND 07:13 SUFFERING AND SELF-FLAGRATION, THE WONDERFUL DOCTRINE CALLED 07:18 JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH. I WANT TO READ A TEXT AND HAVE 07:24 SHELLEY HAVE IT. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21. 07:30 GOD IN HIS LOVE AND MERCY MADE CHRIST, TO BE SIN FOR US THAT WE 07:35 MAY BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM. 07:39 >> ISN'T THAT AN AMAZING THOUGHT? 07:43 >> YEAH. >> AND LET'S DEFINE 07:46 JUSTIFICATION. BOTH CONDEMNATION AND 07:49 JUSTIFICATION ARE FORENSIC TERMS. 07:51 >> THEY ARE. >> THEY HAVE TO DO WITH 07:57 EVIDENCE, EXAMINING THE EVIDENCE. 08:00 CONDEMNATION MEANS YOU FOUND ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO FIND AN 08:04 ACCUSED PARTY GUILTY AND DECLARE THAT THEY ARE GUILTY AND THAT, 08:09 YOU KNOW, THEY ARE GOING TO GET A SENTENCE, A PUNISHMENT. 08:13 JUSTIFICATION IS JUST THE OPPOSITE. 08:17 JUSTIFICATION IS TO PRONOUNCE AND ACQUITTAL BECAUSE -- THERE'S 08:24 NO EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM. YOU ARE MAKING AN OFFICIAL 08:29 DECLARATION THAT THEY ARE INNOCENT. 08:31 SO HOW DID -- HOW DID WE GET JUSTIFIED? 08:36 IT IS PURELY. THIS IS A DEFINE SOVEREIGN ACT 08:40 OF THE LORD. OUR JUSTIFICATION IS BECAUSE HE 08:43 SENT JESUS CHRIST TO BE A PROPISATION, THE BLOOD OF 08:49 CHRIST, THE DEATH OF CHRIST, THE ATONEMENT OF JESUS CHRIST IS WHY 08:53 GOD COULD SAY AS JESUS STOOD IN FOR OUR SUBSTITUTE, HE DIED THE 09:00 DEATH THAT WE DESERVE. AND THEN THE BLOOD OF CHRIST IS 09:05 COVERING THAT RECORD OF SIN AND SAYS, HEY, YOU ARE JUSTIFIED BY 09:10 FAITH. SO IT CHANGES YOUR RECORD. 09:13 IT IS THE IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS. 09:17 >> TWO TERMS I WANT TO TRY TO TALK A LITTLE BIT AND USE THEM 09:22 AND USE THEM WELL. ONE HAS TO DO WITH FORENSIC. 09:25 FORENSIC HAS TO DO WITH QUANTIFYING EVIDENCE. 09:28 AND BASICALLY YOU HAVE A PILE OF STUFF, SAYS YOU'RE GUILTY. 09:31 I COULD SEE IT, COULD EXAMINE IT AND IT SAYS YOU'RE GUILTY. 09:36 SO FORENSIC SAYS THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN HOLD 09:39 AGAINST YOU. BUT WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL ABOUT 09:43 JUSTIFICATION IS THAT THAT EVIDENCE NO LONGER EXISTS 09:47 BECAUSE IT'S HIDDEN UNDER SOMETHING. 09:50 WHAT IS IT HIDDEN UNDER? IT'S HIDDEN UNDER THE BLOOD OF 09:53 CHRIST. SO WHEN GOD LOOKS AT YOUR 09:56 EVIDENCE, THE GUILT RECORD THAT YOU HAVE, YOU CAN'T SEE IT. 09:59 YOU COULD ONLY SEE THE SACRIFICES THAT CHRIST MED. 10:02 SO GIVEN THE FACT THAT HE DOESN'T SEE THAT, HE CAN DECLARE 10:09 YOU AS JUST AND RIGHTEOUS. HE COULD MAKE THAT, SO HE GIVES 10:13 YOU NOW CREDIT FOR SOMETHING YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE. 10:16 THAT'S WHAT THE IMPUTED STATEMENT MEANS. 10:20 YOU'RE GETTING CREDIT FOR SOMETHING THAT ONLY EXISTS 10:23 BECAUSE GOD SAYS IT EXISTS. IT ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE HE 10:27 CHOOSES NOT TO SEE YOUR SINS. WHY? 10:30 JESUS HAS COVERED YOUR SINS WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS. 10:34 IT'S A FABULOUS DOCTRINE. >> THE WAY I WILL TALK ABOUT 10:39 RECONCILIATION IS IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT LIKE THIS. 10:42 WE OWED A DEBT THAT WAS SO GREAT, WE COULD NEVER PAY IT. 10:47 >> TRUE. >> IF YOU THINK OF GOD AS THE 10:49 INTERNATIONAL BANKER, WE HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT THAT IS SO FAR 10:54 OVERDRAWN THAT IT COULD NEVER EVER BE PAID. 10:57 >> OH. >> THERE'S NO WAY, A GUILTY 11:00 MAN -- IT HAD TO BE OUR CREATOR WHO DIED FOR US. 11:05 AND BECAUSE ALL MEN HAD SINNED. WE HAVE ALL BROKEN THE LAW. 11:09 HERE YOU HAVE THE BANK ACCOUNT THAT'S JUST SO FAR IN THE RED. 11:15 WHAT IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THAT CHRIST RECORD, HIS PERFECT 11:22 LIFE. HE WAS TOTALLY SINLESS. 11:24 EVEN THOUGH THE BIBLE SAYS, HE WAS TEMPTED IN ANYWAY AS WE ARE 11:30 SO HE MIGHT BE SYMPATHETIC AND EMPATHETIC WITH US. 11:35 HE WAS WITHOUT SIN. HE MADE HIM, TO BE NO SIN FOR 11:40 US, THAT WE MAY BECOME RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST 11:44 JESUS. CHRIST RIGHTEOUSNESS. 11:48 AND RIGHTEOUSNESS, MEANS, YOU'RE IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD. 11:54 HERE'S THE BANK ACCOUNT THAT'S JUST TANKED AND IT'S SO FAR IN 11:57 THE RED. SO CHRIST POURS HIS RECORD OF 12:00 HIS PERFECT LIFE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, HERE WE ARE, WE'VE 12:07 BEEN IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS. ALL OF HIS CREDIT, ALL HIS 12:12 RIGHTEOUSNESS HAS BEEN CREDITED TO US. 12:15 >> IT DOES KIND OF MAKE YOU LOOPY. 12:17 IT'S A WONDERFUL THING. WE'RE OVER IN LONDON, PASTOR 12:23 LOMACANG AND I. WE WERE LOOKING AT THE CROWN. 12:27 JOHN SAID TO THE CROWD, HOW MUCH DOES THE CROWN WORTH 12:34 >> WHAT'S THE NATIONAL DEBT. $18 MILLION-PLUS. 12:38 THAT MAY JUST PAY FOR IT. THAT MAY PAY THE DEBT OF YOUR 12:42 COUNTRY WELL, I THINK YOUR ILLUSTRATION 12:44 IS SO APP. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DEBT OF SIN 12:47 THAT WE OWE, JUST ABOUT THE NATIONAL DEBT. 12:50 THERE'S NO WAY IT COULD BE YET CHRIST THROUGH HIS SINLESS LIFE, 12:59 IT WOULD MAKE YOU GO WOOHOO. DID YOU HAVE A STATEMENT? 13:09 >> NO, I WILL COME BACK TO SCRIPTURE IN A MINUTE. 13:14 >> I'M IN EFESSIANS. I WANTED TO START EPHESIANS 2:4. 13:21 GOD WHO IS RICH IN MERCY, BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT LOVE WHICH 13:25 YOU LOVES US, EVEN WHEN WE WERE DEAD IN TRESPASS MADE US ALIVE 13:30 TOGETHER IN CHRIST. BY GRACE, YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED 13:34 AND RAISED US UP TOGETHER AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN HEAVENLY 13:38 PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS. SO YOU SEE, IT'S ALL WOVEN INTO 13:43 THE SACRIFICE MADE BY CHRIST. THAT IN AGES TO COME, HE MAY 13:49 SHOW THE EXCEEDING RICHES OF HIS GRACE AND KINDNESS TOWARDS US 13:54 AGAIN IN CHRIST JESUS. SO THE LEVEL, THE KEY IS ALL 14:00 ABOUT CHRIST. YOU HIT THE FAMOUS, BY GRACE, 14:04 YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED, THROUGH FAITH. 14:07 AND NOT OF YOURSELF, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD. 14:10 THE ONE TEXT WE TEND TO PULL OUT, WONDERFUL TEXT, STANDS ON 14:14 THE PROCEEDING TEXTS, THAT IS BASED ON THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS 14:19 CHRIST. >> AND THE IMPORTANT THING IS BY 14:21 GRACE, THROUGH FAITH, IT IS A GIFT. 14:25 THAT FAITH, IT IS LIKE, IN GENESIS 15:6, IT TALKED ABOUT 14:35 ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD. IT WAS CREDITED THROUGH HIM 14:38 THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS. PAUL REPEATS THAT SAME, IN 14:42 ROMANS 4:3, HE REPEATS THE SAME THING. 14:46 TO BELIEVE GOD MEANS YOU WERE RELYING ON HIM TOTALLY. 14:50 IT IS, AS YOU COME TO GOD AND SAY, LORD, I BELIEVE THAT YOU 14:55 DIED FOR ME. I'M A SINNER. 14:58 I NEED A SAVIOR. YOU NEED TO RECOGNIZE YOUR NEED 15:01 AS A SAVIOR. AS YOU DO THAT, YOU'RE 15:05 JUSTIFIED. I WANT TO ADD A SCRIPTURE. 15:08 >> PLEASE DO. >> EPHESIANS. 15:12 THIS IS ROMANS 5:17. I THINK IT IS MY FAVORITE 15:17 SCRIPTURE. IT SAYS, FOR IF ONE MANNY 15:20 OFFENSE, SPEAKING OF ADAM, IF BY SPEAKING ONE MAN'S OFFENSE, 15:27 WOULD ADAM AS A FATHER OF A HUMAN RACE, WHEN HE SINNED, WE 15:33 WERE ALL BORN WITH THE PROPENSITY OF SIN AS FALLEN 15:38 NATURE. IF BY THE ONE MAN'S DEATH REIGNS 15:44 THROUGH MUCH MORE, THOSE WHO RECEIVE AN ABUNDANCE OF GRACE 15:47 AND THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL REIGN IN LIFE THROUGH THE 15:52 ONE CHRIST JESUS. IT'S THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. 15:58 RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH IS THE ONLY KIND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS THERE 16:01 IS. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT TO 16:04 THINK THAT HE WHO KNEW NO SIN BECAME SINFUL. 16:07 >> YEAH. IT'S A HUMBLING DOCTRINE. 16:11 YET AT THE SAME TIME AN EXHILARATING AND FREEING 16:15 DOCTRINE. BECAUSE IT FREES YOU FROM THE 16:17 SLAVERY OF TRYING TO WORK YOU INTO HEAVEN AS YOU ONCE LABORED 16:21 UNDERSTAND FROM THE IDEA, INDULGENCES AND PENANCE OR A 16:28 FORCED PENITTANCE, WILL GET YOU INTO THE -- THE WORD, PROPENS 16:37 SAYINGS, WHICH MEANS TOWARDS LEANING TOWARDS. 16:40 IF YOU'RE SAYING, HE'S WAITING FOR ME TO MAKE MISTAKES. 16:44 HE'S SITTING WITH SPRINGS BUT HE'S WAITING FOR TO YOU OPEN 16:47 YOUR HEART. HE'S KIND OF WAITING. 16:50 HE'S NOT WAITING TO CONDEMN YOU. HE'S WAITING TO PUT HIS ARMS 16:55 AROUND YOU AND LOVE YOU. >> IT TALKS ABOUT THE LORD 17:00 REJOICING OVER US. GOD HAS -- I THINK THE DOCTRINE 17:05 ON HELL HAS DONE MORE DAMAGE TO THE REPUTATION OF GOD THAN 17:09 ANYTHING ELSE. >> AGREED. 17:11 >> IT'S INCORRECT, THAT GOD BURNS FOREVER AND EVER. 17:16 AND I WANTED TO SAY THIS. ONCE I UNDERSTOOD JUSTIFICATION, 17:26 IT FREED ME. THAT'S REALLY OUR FIRST STAGE OF 17:31 SALVATION. >> YEAH. 17:32 >> IT IS CORRECT TO SAY I AM SAVED, I AM BEING SAVED AND I 17:39 WILL BE SAVED. BECAUSE JUSTIFICATION, THIS IS 17:44 ALL MY PAST SINS. GOD HAS CLEARED THE RECORD MUCH 17:49 HE'S NOT GOING TO STOP THERE. JESUS SAID HE CAME TO DESTROY 17:53 THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. HE CAME, HE RECEIVED US AS WE 17:58 ARE BUT HE LOVES US TOO MUCH TO LEAVE US IN THAT CONDITION. 18:06 THE BEAUTY IS AN UNDERSTANDING, JUSTIFICATION IS A SOVEREIGN ACT 18:11 OF GOD, CHANGES OUR RECORD, FREE GIFT. 18:14 NOW IT'S GOT THE FREE GIFT OF SANCTIFICICATION. 18:28 SANCTIFICATION IS THE IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS CHRIST. 18:33 IT'S WHEN CHRIST LIVES IN OUR HEART BY FAITH THROUGH THE POWER 18:36 OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. AND SUDDENLY YOU WERE TALKING 18:39 ABOUT HOW HE CHANGES YOU. AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH 18:43 REPENTANCE AND WE WERE REALIZING THINGS. 18:46 SUDDENLY WE REALIZE GOD IS WORKING THROUGH US TO DO INTO 18:53 SELF PLEASURE. AND HAD A FRIEND, HE HATED 18:58 CHRISTIAN MUSIC. HE WOULD LISTEN TO THE WESTERN 19:02 STATION. FEW MONTHS AFTER HIS CONVERSION. 19:05 HE WAS CATHOLIC. IT WAS SO FUNNY BECAUSE HE WENT 19:09 AFTER DOING HIS PARTY COCAINE AND HIS DRINKING AND STUFF, HE 19:14 WAS DATING DALLAS CHEERLEADERS, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. 19:18 HE WOULD GO IN AFTER A NIGHT OF PARTYING. 19:21 THE PRIEST DID SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND HE TOLD HIM TO GO 19:27 READ HIS PSALM. HE'S IN MINISTRY TODAY. 19:33 HE SAID I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. 19:36 I'M JUST SINGING ALONG TO THE SONG ON THE RADIO. 19:39 ALL OF A SUDDEN, I REALIZED, IT WAS A CHRISTIAN SONG. 19:43 HE SAID, I KNEW IT. AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN I 19:49 STARTED LISTENING TO CHRISTIAN MUSIC BUT HE OBVIOUSLY WAS 19:54 LISTENING TO IT LONG ENOUGH -- >> THAT'S HOW GENTLE GOD IT. 19:59 >> YEAH, YEAH WHEN WE LOOK AT JUSTIFICATION 20:02 AND SANCTIFICATION, IT SHOWS HOW THOROUGH GOD IS IN DOLING WITH 20:10 US. JUSTIFICATION IS AN ACT WHEN GOD 20:13 SAYS, I DECLARE YOU RIGHTEOUS. THAT TAKES CARE OF YOU AT THE 20:17 BEGINNING OF YOUR WALK. IF SHELLEY QUINN COMES TO THE 20:21 LORD, JESUS, I ACCEPT YOU AND HAS A HEART ATTACK. 20:28 IT'S LIKE A THIEF IN THE CHRIST, YOU'RE IN. 20:32 YOU'VE BEEN DECLARED JUST. YOU HAVE BEEN DECLARED 20:36 RIGHTEOUS. YOU'VE BEEN DECLARED WORTHY. 20:40 IF SHELLEY QUINN, LORD I GIVE MYSELF TO YOU, AND LIVES 30 20:45 YEARS. GOD BEGINS THE SAME NIGHT DOING 20:47 A WORK THAT MAKES YOU MORE LIKE CHRIST SO THAT 30 YEARS LATER, 20:52 YOU ARE BETTER THAN YOU WERE AT THE BEGINNING BECAUSE THERE'S 20:55 MORE CHRIST NEW. YOUR WITNESS HAS CHANGED. 20:58 YOUR ABILITY TO STAND UP TOWARDS JESUS HAS CHANGED. 21:01 THE THINGS YOU LIKE ARE CHANGED. IF AT ANY POINT YOU ARE ALONG 21:06 THAT LINE, YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES IN DEATH, YOU'RE IN. 21:09 SO HE'S TAKEN CARE OF YOU FROM THE BEGINNING OF YOUR WORK TO 21:15 THE VERY END. AND AS LONG AS YOU HOLD ON TO 21:19 CHRIST, WHENEVER YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, YOU ARE IN BECAUSE YOU ARE 21:24 JUSTIFIED. HE CALLED YOU RIGHTEOUS. 21:26 HE'S TREATING YOU AS RIGHTEOUS. HE'S DECLARED YOU THE SON OF 21:30 GOD. THE WORK OF GRACE IS MOVING 21:33 ITSELF. EACH DAY EUROMANS 12:1 HOLY 21:39 SACRIFICE TO HIM, TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE, SO WHEN YOU CLOSE 21:42 YOUR EYES, PRAISE GOD, YOU'RE IN. 21:44 >> I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING. I HAVE A GENTLEMAN WHO IS A 21:50 PRECIOUS BROTHER OF THE LORD. I WON'T CALL HIS NAME. 21:53 I WANT TO SAY THIS TO YOU. HE E-MAILS ME FREQUENTLY. 21:58 AND HE WILL SAY, YOU'RE PREACHING ON A DIFFERENT GOSPEL. 22:02 THAT IS WHAT HE WILL SAY. 3ABN IS PREACHING A DIFFERENT 22:06 GOSPEL. IT'S FINISHED. 22:08 THE WORK OF JESUS IS DONE. THERE'S NO MORE TO IT. 22:13 LET ME READ SOMETHING TO YOU. IN HEBREWS 13. 22:16 I LOVE THIS SCRIPTURE. NOW MAY THE GOD OF PEACE WHO 22:21 BROUGHT OUR LORD JESUS FROM THE DEAD, GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE 22:24 SHEEP THROUGH BLOOD OF THE EVER LASTING COVENNANT MAKE YOU 22:28 COMPLETE IN EVERY GOOD WORK TO DO HIS WILL, WORKING IN YOU WHAT 22:32 IS WELL PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT THROUGH JESUS CHRIST TO WHOM THE 22:38 GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. THERE'S AN EVER LASTING 22:44 COVENNANT. BIBLE SAYS, GOD KEEPS COVENNANT 22:48 BY THOSE WHO KEEPS COVENNANT THROUGH HIM. 22:52 AND REVELATION 1:6. THE GENTLEMAN'S IDEA, THAT'S A 22:59 DIFFERENT GOSPEL. WHEN IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE EVER 23:02 LASTING GOSPEL, IT'S THE SAME AS THE EVER LASTING COVENNANT, EVER 23:09 LASTING GOSPEL IN THE 3RD ANGEL SMITH. 23:12 AND IT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE, WHEN JESUS SAID ON 23:17 THE CROSS, IT IS FINISHED. WHAT WAS FINISHED ON THE CROSS, 23:23 IT WAS TOTALLY COMPLETE. THAT WAS THE PRICE THAT WAS PAID 23:27 FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION. THAT WAS THE PRICE THAT CHRIST 23:32 PAID TO BUY US BACK, IF YOU WILL, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS 23:37 IN ROMANS 6:16. YOU ARE SLAVES TO THE ONE WE 23:45 OBEY. WE WERE IN THE CAMP OF SATAN. 23:48 HE BOUGHT US BACK. HE JUSTIFIED US. 23:52 YES SUS THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE, HE IS TALKING ABOUT HIS MINISTRY. 23:59 WHERE AM I WANTING TO GO? HEBREWS. 24:04 HEBREWS CHAPTER 4. OKAY. HEBREWS CHAPTER 4 SAYS 24:10 THIS. WE DO NOT HAVE A HIGH PRIEST 24:13 THAT CANNOT SYMPATHIZE WITH OUR WEAKNESS BUT WITH ALL POINTS 24:18 TEMPTED AS WE ARE YET WITHOUT SIN. 24:21 THERE'S A REASON WHY HE WENT THROUGH ALL OF THIS. 24:27 THEREFORE, LET HIM COME BOLDLY, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY AND 24:30 GRACE IN THE TIME OF NEED. BECAUSE WE HAVE A HIGH PRIEST, 24:35 AN ADVOCATE OF THE FATHER. JESUS SAID HIS FATHER WORKS TO 24:43 THIS DAY HE IS SITTING AT THE RIGHT 24:48 THROWN OF THE FATHER. HE'S THERE TO BE AN ADVOCATE, 24:52 SOMEBODY WHO COULD EMPATHIZE, TEMPTED IN ALL WAYS, HEBREWS 2, 24:58 IN ALL THINGS, HE HAD TO BE MADE. 25:00 THIS IS HEBREWS 2:17, LIKE HIS BRETHREN, HAS TO BE FAITHFUL. 25:10 AND HIS WORKS IS NOT FINISHED. HE'S UP THERE DOING THESE 25:14 THINGS. AND IT SAYS, FOR HIMSELF, HE'S 25:18 TEMPTED HE'S ABLE TO AID THOSE WHO ARE TEMPTED. 25:21 CHRIST IS VERY ACTIVE IN THE MINISTRY. 25:24 >> VERY MUCH SO. WHEN I HEARD, I WENT TO THE SAME 25:28 POINT FROM THE OTHER CHAPTER, HEBREWS 8:1. 25:32 THIS IS THE MAIN POINT FROM THE THINGS WE'RE SAYING. 25:35 WE HAVE SUCH A HIGH PRIEST, SEATED IN THE HIGH POINT OF THE 25:40 MAGISTRATE, IN THE HEAVEN, MINISTRY OF THE SANCTUARY AND A 25:44 TRUE TABERNACLE WHICH THE LORD ERECTED AND NOT MAN. 25:50 AND IT GOES TO JUSTIFY THE WORKS, THAT CHRIST HAS AT THE 25:55 PRESENT TIME. THERE'S BENEFITS FROM THE CREW. 25:57 IT'S LIKE YOU GET A CREDIT CARD. EVERY TIME YOU BUY SOMETHING, 26:01 YOU GET A LITTLE CASH BACK. YOU GET SOMETHING A LITTLE 26:06 EXTRA. CHRIST MADE A TOTAL AND COMPLETE 26:10 SACRIFICE, A EFICACIOUS SACRIFICE IN HEAVEN. 26:19 NOW HE'S MINISTERING THE BENEFITS OF THE SACRIFICE TO HIS 26:22 PEOPLE. IN THAT SENSE, THE PHASE OF THE 26:26 WORKS IS COMPLETE. THERE'S ANOTHER PHASE THAT'S 26:29 GOING ON NOW, THAT'S JUST AS IMPORTANT BASED ON THE WORKS OF 26:35 CALVARY. THAT'S WHAT HEBREWS IS TRYING TO 26:37 SAY. THERE'S STUFF YOU NEED THAT IS 26:39 AVAILABLE TO YOU. THE BOOK OF HEBREWS WAS WRITTEN 26:43 BY HEBREW CHRISTIANS, WHO WERE THINKING OF GOING BACK TO THE 26:47 HEBREW RELIGION. PAUL'S MESSAGE TO THE HEBREWS, 26:50 WHICH IS WHY YOU COULD FIND IT IN THE HEBREWS 2, HEBREWS 4 AND 26:58 A LITTLE HEBREWS 13. HE COME BACK, CHRIST IS THE REAL 27:04 DEAL, HE'S SUFFICIENT FOR YOU, HE'S MINISTERING TO YOU. 27:08 DON'T GIVE UP ON HIM BECAUSE HE'S NOT GIVING UP ON YOU. 27:13 WORK WITH HIM, SERVE HIM, AND HE WILL SAVE YOU. 27:17 >> AND THE WAY I LEARNED ABOUT SANCTIFICICATION. 27:25 I WAS PRAYING ONE DAY AND LORD, WHAT IS YOUR WILL FOR MY LIFE? 27:29 HE SAID LOOK IT UP. LET ME READ FIRST THESSOLIANES. 27:39 THERE'S PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THE BIBLE DOCTRINE OF 27:45 SANCTICICATION. THESSALIANES, CHAPTER 4:3. 27:50 THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD. YOUR SANCTIFICATION. 27:56 GOD DID NOT CALL US TO UNCLEAN US BUT IN HOLINESS. 28:02 THEREFORE, HE WHO REJECTS THIS DOESN'T REJECT MAN. 28:06 GOD WHO ALSO HAS GIVEN US HIS HOLY SPIRIT. 28:12 GOD'S WILL FOR YOUR LIFE IS YOU'RE SANGTIVE FIED. 28:26 AND IN GREEK, IT IS HAGASMOS. WHICH MEANS, SANCTFICICATION. 28:39 THOSE ARE SYNONYMS. STRIFE TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH 28:46 EVERYBODY. AND PURSUE THE CONSECRATION AND 28:50 HOLINESS AND WITHOUT WHICH NO ONE WILL SEE THE LORD. 28:54 AND IF WE DON'T PURSUE HOLINESS. IF WE'RE NOT HOLY, WE ARE NOT 29:00 GOING TO SEE GOD. SANCTIFICATION IS CRITICAL. 29:07 WE HAVE TO BE SEPARATED FROM SIN. 29:09 YOU TALK ABOUT PURSUE HOLINESS AND PEOPLE JUST GET, THEY GET TO 29:17 TWITCHING. >> YEAH 29:18 I WAS GOING TO SAY, THEY GO CRAZY. 29:21 >> THEY GET TO TWITCHING. >> WHEN YOU REALIZE, TO PURSUE, 29:25 MEANS TO SEEK. SANCTIFICATION AND HOLINESS ARE 29:32 SYN SYNONYMS. 29:35 TO SEEK HOLINESS IS TO SEEK SANCTFICICATION. 29:41 AND THE BIBLE SAYS WE'RE SANCTIFIED BY THE GIFT OF HOLY 29:46 SPIRIT, THE GIFT OF GOD'S LOVE, THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE 29:50 GIFT OF FAITH. AND WE'RE SANGTIVE FID BY THE 29:59 HOLY SPIRIT. THIS IS GOD'S WORK. 30:01 THIS IS HOW GOD WORKS IN US TO WILL AND TO DO HIS GOOD 30:08 PLEASURE. IT HAS TO DO WITH US BEING WITH 30:13 THE LORD. HELP ME PICK UP MY CHRIST. 30:16 BY THE POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT, ROMANS 8:13-14. 30:22 AND PUT TO DEATH THE DEEDS OF MY FLESH. 30:28 FILL ME WITH YOUR FRESH SPIRIT. IT IS ONLY WITH THE SPIRIT'S 30:32 POWER THAT WE CAN BE SEPARATED FROM SIN. 30:37 AND THIS IS GOD'S WORK. ALL WE'RE DOING, HERE I AM, FILL 30:44 ME. >> WE GO BACK TO EPHESIANS 2:10. 30:49 WE ARE CREATED IN CHRIST. AND THAT'S CA MURRAY, IN 2016, 30:59 OUGHT TO BE MORE LIKE JESUS THAN CA MURRAY IN 2000. 31:08 THERE OUGHT TO BE FRUIT OF MY WALK WITH JESUS. 31:12 THERE OUGHT TO BE EVIDENCE OF MY WALK IN JESUS. 31:14 YEARS AGO, I DID LISTEN TO THAT. I DON'T LISTEN TO THAT ANYMORE. 31:19 YEARS AGO, I DID DRINK THAT. I DON'T DRINK THAT ANYMORE. 31:26 THERE SHOULD BE GROWTH, YOUR LIFE OUGHT TO BE QUALITATIVE 31:31 BETTER IN CHRIST AS WE SPEND MORE TIME IN JESUS. 31:34 AND THE BIBLE SAYS, THE DEAR -- THERE OUGHT TO BE THIS 31:43 HUNGRYIANING AND THIRSTING TO BE LIKE JESUS. 31:46 IF YOU HAVE THAT MIND-SET, CHRIST WILL COME IN YOU AND 31:50 LIVING HIS WAYS THROUGH YOU. THAT'S WHAT THE SANCTIFICATION 31:56 EXPERIENCE, IS BECOMING MORE LIKE JESUS. 31:59 COUPLE YEARS I GO, I GOT HOT AND MAYBE GIVE THEM A SMACK. 32:04 I DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE. WHEN I'M IN ATTACK, I DON'T 32:11 RETURN EVIL FOR EVIL. CHRIST IS LIVING HIS WAY THROUGH 32:16 ME NOW SO I AM ACTUALLY CHANGING. 32:18 OLD THINGS ARE PASSED. EVERYTHING IS BECOMING NEW. 32:22 I'M BECOMING MORE LIKE JESUS EACH AND EVERY DAY. 32:27 THAT'S THE SANCT FYING. >> IF YOU'RE NOT GROWING IN 32:34 CHRIST, YOU'RE GOING BACKWARDS. >> YOU CAN'T TREAD WATER. 32:37 >> I COMPARE IT TO WALKING THE DOWN ESCALATOR. 32:41 THE WORLD, YOU SEE CHILDREN DO THIS. 32:44 WHEN THEY ARE, THEY ARE IN THE MALLS. 32:46 AND THEY USUALLY, WHAT THEY DO, RUN HALFWAY THROUGH THE 32:52 ESCALATOR. THEY WILL DO IT AGAIN. 32:53 THEY HARDLY GO TO THE TOP. AS CHRISTIANS, THE TREND OF THE 32:58 WO WORLD. 33:02 WE'RE WALKING AGAINST THE DOWNWARD TREND. 33:11 IF WE STOP, WE'RE GOING RIGHT BACK DOWN 33:17 I FORGOT MY OTHER THOUGHT. I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT. 33:20 IF YOU KNOW IT'S GOD'S WILL FOR YOU TO BE SANCTIFIED, IF YOU 33:27 KNOW HIS WORK, WE CAN ONLY BE SANCTIFIED BY THE POWER OF THE 33:32 HOLY SPIRIT. 1 CORINTHIANS 1:30, IT IS 33:37 BECAUSE OF GOD, WE WERE GIVEN IN JESUS, OUR WISDOM, 33:46 SANCTIFICICATION. EPHESSIANS 3. 33:51 WE'RE RIGHT BACK TO THE LOVE. IF WE UNDERSTAND GOD'S LOVE. 34:00 EPHESIANS -- I KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. 34:04 YOU WERE SAYING, IF WE WOULD HUNGER AND THIRST FOR 34:08 RIGHTEOUSNESS -- I DON'T ALWAYS HUNGER AND THIRST FOR 34:12 RIGHTEOUSNESS. THERE'S SOME DAYS I GET SO BUSY 34:16 I FORGET TO HUNGER AND THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. 34:21 IF YOU ARE SITTING, YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THAT IN YOUR OWN 34:27 STRENGTH. FATHER, CAUSE ME TO HUNGER AND 34:33 THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. THE BEATTUDES, THOSE WHO HUNGER 34:40 AND FILLED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL BE FILLED IN THE PROMISE. 34:51 YOU HAVE TO GO BEFORE THE LORD AND JUST SAY, FATHER, PLEASE. 34:55 CAUSE ME TO HUNGER AND THIST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND LISTEN TO THIS 35:01 PROMISE. I GET SO EXCITED. 35:16 HE LOVE GETTING INTO THE WORD AND TALKING ABOUT. 35:19 IN EPHESSIANS IS SAYING, I PRAY ON IT. 35:25 I PRAY, SPEAKING OF GOD, WILL GRANT YOU ACCORDING TO THE 35:31 RITTIOUS OF HIS STORY. TO BE STRENGTHENED WITH MIGHT. 35:44 FIRST OF ALL, MIGHT, I'M PRAYING THAT GOD WILL STRENGTHEN WITH 35:48 THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. WHY, VERSE 17 WILL ANSWER. 36:00 THAT CHRIST WILL DWELL IN YOUR HEART THROUGH FAITH 36:04 >> ONLY WAY TO DWELL IN YOUR HEART. 36:06 >> VERY TRUE. >> THAT YOU, WHEN HE'S IN OUR 36:10 HEARTS THROUGH FAITH, THAT YOU BE ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE. 36:15 HE'S TALKING IN AGRICULTURAL TERMS HERE. 36:20 YOU GET THE PICTURE. WHEN YOU'RE ROOTED AND GROUNDED 36:25 IN LOVE WHAT'S THE LENGTH, DEPTH, 36:33 HEIGHT, TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, SURPASS HIS KNOWLEDGE, 36:37 THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD. 36:40 >> AMEN. >> GOD IS LOVE. 36:42 IT'S ONLY AS WE COME TO UNDERSTAND THE WIDTH, DEPTH, 36:46 HEIGHT. THE MORE WE UNDERSTAND GOD'S 36:49 LOVE, WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US. 36:52 ROMANS 5:5, HE POURS HIS LOVE THROUGH OUR HEARTS BY THE POWER 36:58 OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE GOES ON. 37:01 THIS IS HOW WE'RE COMING INTO THE FULLNESS OF GOD: AFTER HIM, 37:07 EXCEE EXCEEDINGLY, THAT WE ASKED. 37:10 ACCORDING TO THE POWER, THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 37:15 TO HIM BE GLORY OF THE CHURCH, THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, FOREVER 37:20 AND EVER >> PRAISE GOD. 37:23 >> DOESN'T THAT EXCITE YOU? >> IT REALLY IS. 37:25 >> IT HUMBLES YOU AND EXHILL RATES YOU AT THE SAME TIME. 37:30 >> IT DID. >> AND MAKES YOU HUMBLY PROUD AS 37:33 A PASTOR. THAT CHRIST WOULD CONDESENT. 37:44 I'M ENTITLES. FOR THE GRACE OF GOD HAS 37:48 APPEARED TO ALL MEN, TEACHING US, THAT DENYING, AND WE SHOULD 37:52 LIVE SOBERLY, RIGHTEOUSLY AND GODLY IN THIS PRESENT AGE. 37:58 WE CAN DO THAT. LOOKING FOR THE BLESSED HOPE AND 38:03 APPEARING OF THE GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. 38:07 WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL IT THAT PARTICULAR DAY, YOU KEEP YOUR 38:12 EYES ON THE GOLD. I WAS LISTENING TO THE NEW YORK 38:17 CITY MARATHON, BIG, BIG EVENT. THEY TALK ABOUT HITTING THE 38:23 WALL. AFTER YOUR INITIAL BIRTH, YOU 38:26 GET INTO THE SPACE MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY, YOUR BODY IS SAYING, 38:32 WE'RE NOT GETTING INTO THIS. YOU RUN THROUGH THAT BECAUSE 38:35 YOU'VE DONE IT BEFORE. YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR GOAL IS. 38:38 AND SO YOU'RE NOT THINKING ABOUT YOUR PRESENT PAIN. 38:42 YOU'RE PRESSING TOWARDS YOUR GOAL. 38:44 >> AMEN. >> THAT'S WHAT ALLOWS YOU TO GET 38:47 THROUGH YOUR GOAL. SOON, YOUR SECOND WIND COMES. 38:52 YOU MAKE IT HOME. THE SPIRITUAL RACE IS LIKE THAT. 38:55 SOME DAYS, YOU'RE GETTING UP AND YOU DON'T GET IN THE WALL. 38:59 YOU DON'T FEEL IT. IT'S NOT IN YOUR HEART. 39:02 IT'S NOT IN YOUR SOUL. I SAY IT TO COUPLES SOMETIMES. 39:05 YOU'VE BEEN MARRIED X NUMBER OF YEARS. 39:08 SOME DAYS YOU FEEL REALLY MARRIED. 39:11 YOU FEEL MARRIED. YOU LOOK OVER YOUR WIFE AND 39:14 SHE'S SO CUTE AND WONDERFUL. YOU FEEL SO MARRIED. 39:20 SOME DAYS, YOU DON'T FEEL SO MARRIED. 39:24 IT COULD BE SOMETHING YOU ATE. YOU JUST DON'T FEEL REAL 39:31 MARRIED. WHEN YOU FEEL YOU DON'T FEEL 39:33 MARRIED, YOU'RE STILL MARRIED. YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THROUGH THAT. 39:37 BECAUSE IT WILL GO AWAY. YOU WILL BE MARRIED AGAIN. 39:41 SOME DAYS, YOU FEEL LIKE THE STRONGEST CHRISTIAN IN THE 39:43 WORLD. YOU FEEL LIKE YOU COULD CARRY 39:46 THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD. THEN THERE'S DAYS YOU ARE 39:52 CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD. 39:54 ON THOSE DAYS WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING CRUSHED, YOU'RE 39:57 STILL A CHILD OF GOD. THE SAME GOD WHO GETS YOU 40:01 THROUGH THE GOOD DAYS. ON THE BAD DAYS, KEEP YOUR EYES 40:10 FOCUSED ON THAT END. IT'S COMING AS SURE AS IT BEGAN. 40:15 HE'S COMMITTED TO THE END, OF THAT DAY, AND THAT DAY IS THE 40:23 COMING OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. 40:28 >> AS I WAS PRAYING OVER MY LIFE, LET ME READ IT. 40:33 WE WITH UNVEIL FAITH, BEHOLDING ARE TRANSFORMED TO THE SAME A 40:41 AIMAGE TO THE FLORY, OH, FATHER, THANK YOU THAT IT IS BECAUSE OF 40:46 YOU THAT YOU ARE WORKING IN ME BUT BY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT AND 40:50 YOU'RE TRANSFORMING ME INTO YOUR IMAGE FROM ONE LEVEL OF YOUR 40:55 GLORY, WHICH MEANS HIS CHARACTER TO THE NEXT. 40:59 AS I AM PRAYING AND SAYING THAT, I DO KNOW, ISAIAH 55:11, GOD 41:07 SAYS, MY WORD WILL NOT RETURN TO ME BUT IT WILL ACCOMPLISH EVERY 41:12 PURPOSE FOR WHICH I SEND IT. THERE'S POWER IN RETURNING THE 41:19 WORD TO THE LORD. IN ROMANS 4:17, PAUL SAYS IN 41:24 ROMANS 4:17. GOD IS THE GOD THAT GIVES LIGHT 41:29 TO THE DEAD AND CALLS THOSE WHO ARE NOT AS IF THEY ALREADY WERE. 41:34 I REALIZE WHEN I'M CLAIMING HIS PROMISE AS LIFE RECLAMATION, I 41:40 AM SAYING THINGS AS THOUGH THEY ALREADY WERE. 41:43 THIS IS HIS PLAN FOR MY LIFE. I'M PRAYING IT. 41:46 I'M ALL OF A SUDDEN, WEEPING. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I'M ADVANCING 41:51 AT ALL. AND AS I'M CRYING OVER THIS, YOU 41:53 KNOW WHAT, HE PRESSED UPON MY MIND WHAT YOU JUST SAID. 41:59 HE SAID, WILL SOON EXPLAIN THE WALL THAT YOU ARE HITTING. 42:02 >> WOW. >> SEE, I GOT SO EXCITED. 42:05 I GOT SO EXCITED, IT WAS LIKE, YEAH 42:10 THAT'S EXACTLY. I FELT LIKE I WAS HITTING THE 42:14 WALL. SOMETIMES GOD TEACHES YOU 42:15 SOMETHING AND YOU RUN IN THE TEACHING FOR A WHILE. 42:18 ONE DAY YOU WAKE UP AND YOU'RE NOT DOING IT ANYMORE. 42:21 I FELT LIKE I HIT THE WALL. WHEN HE SAID THAT, IT WAS LIKE, 42:26 OH, THANK YOU LORD. THAT'S IT. 42:28 I HIT THE WALL. SO THEN IT'S INTERESTING HOW GOD 42:36 WORKS. AND I BELIEVE GOD WANTS TO SPEAK 42:38 TO ALL OF HIS CHILDREN. I'VE GOT A GREAT STUDY ON THAT. 42:43 IT'S SCRIPTURAL. BUT THERE'S SO FEW OF US WHO 42:47 LISTEN. WHEN I'M NOT LISTENING, HE'S NOT 42:49 SPEAKING TO ME EITHER. WHEN I SAY SPEAKING, IMPRESSING 42:53 THE HOLY SPIRIT, IMPRESSING HIS THOUGHT UPON MINE. 42:59 HE ALWAYS WOULD GIVE ME ITSY BITSY BIT. 43:05 HERE HE'S SAYING, I WILL SOON EXPLAIN THE WALL YOU'RE HITTING. 43:11 SO IT WAS TWO WEEKS LATER, I'M BEGGING HIM EVERY DAY. 43:16 EXPLAIN THIS, LORD. EXPLAIN THIS. 43:19 AND IT CAME TO JOHN 2:6, THOSE THAT ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, MUST 43:24 WALK AS HE WALKS. I'M SAYING BEING FATHER THANK 43:27 YOU THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M IN CHRIST BECAUSE OF YOU. 43:30 THANK YOU THAT, I'M WALKING AS CHRIST WALKED. 43:34 ILL REALIZED I'M CALLING THINGS THAT ARE NOT, AS THOUGH THEY 43:38 ALREADY ARE. I MEAN, I'M WEEPING BEFORE THE 43:44 LORD. WHAT IS THIS WALL? 43:48 HE SPEAKS TO ME. I KEEP SAYING THIS BECAUSE 43:50 PEOPLE GET UPSET WHEN I SAY HE SPEAKS TO ME. 43:54 THE SMALL VOICE OF THE LORD, HOLY SPIRIT AND PRESS THIS UPON 43:58 MY MIND. THIS IS WHAT HE SAID: THE WALL 44:04 THAT YOU ARE HITTING, IS THE WALL OF SELF-PRESERVATION. 44:09 HE SHOWS ME THIS PICTURE IN MY M 44:17 MIND. THERE'S THIS STAIRCASE RUNNING 44:19 TO HEAVEN. I COULD SEE THIS RUNNING. 44:22 I HIT THE WALL THAT IS JUST LIKE 60 FEET HIGH. 44:26 HE SAID, IT'S THE WALL OF SELF-PRESERVATION. 44:31 PUT THIS TOGETHER. IF GOD IS LEADING US FROM ONE 44:37 LEVEL, HE WORKS SOMETHING IN US. WE'RE RUNNING ALONG AND ALL OF A 44:43 SUDDEN, WE GET TO THE WALL. WE HAVE TO GET TO THE POINT, 44:47 DAVID SAYS, BY GOD, I WOULD LEAP BEFORE THE WALL. 44:52 WE ARE THEN REACHING UP AND SAYING, OKAY, GOD, I'M READY TO 44:58 GIVE UP EVEN MORE. I'M READY TO TAKE YOU TO THE 45:01 NEXT LEVEL. IT'S ALL ABOUT SURRENDER OF 45:04 SELF. >> IT'S SURRENDER. 45:06 THE SEEKER IS ALWAYS SURROUNDER. >> THERE'S NOTHING MORE 45:09 CALCULATED BY THE ENEMY TO STOP YOU IN ADVANCING IN GOD, IN 45:13 HOLDING ON AND NOT LETTING GO. TRYING TO PRESERVE YOURSELF. 45:16 YOU REALLY NEED TO, TO TALLY SELL OUT FOR WANT A BETTER TERM. 45:21 >> LET'S JUST EXPLAIN SURRENDER. SOME PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE. 45:25 IT JUST MEANS GIVE GOD CONSENT TO WORK IN YOUR LIFE. 45:29 IT MEANS TO YIELD TO YOUR GOD. IT'S THAT SIMPLE. 45:33 IT REALLY IS. >> THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS, 45:35 AND I HAVE MY FINGER AND PILING UP TEXT AND PILING UP TEXTS. 45:40 I WANT TO FINISH THIS DEAL, IN TIGHTIS. 45:47 WHEN THE KINDNESS AND LOVE OF GOD OUR SAVIOR TOWARDS MAN 45:51 APPEARED, NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE 45:54 DONE, ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY, HE SAVED US THROUGH THE WASHING OF 46:02 REGENERATION AND RENEWING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 46:05 YOUR DESIRE TO SERVE THE LORD IS NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE WORKING 46:10 YOURSELF UP AND THERE'S A TEXT. THOUGH HE WATCHED WITH -- AND 46:16 IT'S IN JEREMIAH, STILL BEFORE ME. 46:19 IT'S NOT YOU SELF-CLEANING. GOD DOING THE CLEANING. 46:23 YOU WILL BE CLEANED BUT HE'S GOING TO DO THE CLEANING. 46:27 THE ROAD TO GLORY IS AS WELL, AS YOU SHOULD KNOW, A STRAIGHT 46:33 LINE. THINKING ABOUT 1 PETER 4:12, THE 46:37 TRY, THE STRANGE THING HAS HAPPENED UNTO YOU. 46:40 IT'S NOT STRANGE. THE ONLY WAY YOU KNOW YOU HAVE 46:44 BRAKES IN YOUR CAR, IS TO TAP YOUR BRAKES. 46:48 ONLY WAY YOU KNOW YOU HAVE FAITH, IS TO TEST IT. 46:53 GOD WILL ALLOW TRIALS TO COME, ONE, SO YOU ARE PARTAKERS OF 46:58 CHRIST'S SUFFERING. ALSO SO YOUR FAITH CONTESTED AND 47:02 GROW. YOU HIT THE WALL. 47:03 AS YOU SURRENDER, AND AS YOU GIVE GOD PERMISSION TO TAKE YOU 47:08 THROUGH THE STEPS AND EXPERIENCES, YOU LEAN ON HIM 47:12 MORE THAN YOU LEAN ON YOURSELF. AND YOUR SUCCESS IS NOT IN YOUR 47:17 OWN STRIVING. NOT IN YOUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, 47:21 AND LEANING TOTALLY, DEPENDING TOTALLY ON JESUS CHRIST, EVEN 47:26 WHEN IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. >> LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE 47:30 ILLUSTRATION. SOMETHING THAT I WAS PRAYING. 47:33 HERE, HE'S TALKING ABOUT HITTING THE WALL OF SELF-PRESERVATION, 47:38 TO MATCH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. THE LORD ONE DAY SHOWED ME, AS I 47:45 WAS PRAYING, OKAY, LORD, HOW DO I DO THIS. 47:48 HE SHOWS ME A LITTLE SUGAR NEXT TO THIS HUGE ELEPHANT. 47:54 HE SAYS YOUR -- THIS IS SO PRECIOUS. 47:58 YOUR GREATEST HUMAN STRENGTH IS LIKE THIS OF THE SUGAR ANT, 48:03 COMPARED TO MY STRENGTH WOULD BE LIKE THE ELEPHANT, MILLIONS OF 48:07 TIMES GREATER. HE SAID MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT 48:10 FOR YOU. MY STRENGTH WILL BE MADE PERFECT 48:14 IN YOUR WEAKNESS. WE CAN'T WALK OUT A CHRISTIAN 48:19 WALK IN OUR OWN LIFE, IN OUR OWN POWER. 48:24 IT'S LIKE -- WHEN PAUL WROTE TO THE GALATTIANS, YOU FOOLISH 48:35 GALATTIANS. WE'RE PERFECTED IN THE FLESH. 48:38 WE CAN'T. ALL GOD IS SAYING, IF YOU WILL 48:41 BE YOKED TO ME, GET THIS PICTURE, HUGE ELEPHANT AND TINSY 48:48 ANT, IF IT IS YOKED TO THE ELEPHANT, WHO IS CARRYING THE 48:52 WEIGHT. IT IS ALL ABOUT DOING THE WORK 48:56 IN US. >> IT IS SO FAR FULL BEAUTIFUL. 49:01 >> IN STUDYING THE BOOK OF JOHN, NOT TOO LONG AGO. 49:06 THE MIRACLES OF JOHN, CHRIST PERFORMED, ARE TOUCHLESS 49:11 MIRACLES. THERE'S NO LAYING HANDS ON JOHN. 49:15 THEY ARE TOUCHLESS. THERE ARE NO TOUCHING MIRACLES. 49:19 THEY TOUCHED US. AND HE DECREED IT WITHOUT THE 49:23 LAYING OF THE HANDS. JOHN, OF COURSE, HAS WRITTEN 49:28 RIGHT AT THE CLOSE OF THE FIRST CENTURY. 49:30 MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO SAW JESUS AND HANDLED JESUS WERE DEAD. 49:34 JOHN IS WRITING TO THE SECOND GENERATION OF PEOPLE, WHOSE ONLY 49:39 CONNECTION OF JESUS THE WORD. THEY NEVER HAD THE PHYSICAL 49:43 EVIDENCE. SO HE'S SAYING THAT THE WORD IS 49:45 AS POWERFUL AS THE PRESENT. SO ALL OF HIS MIRACLES PROVE 49:53 THAT. THERE'S NO PRESENT. 49:55 JESUS IS OVER HERE AND A MIRACLE HAPPENS OVER HERE. 49:58 AND HE'S SAYING TO THOSE WHO ARE FOLLOWING, HE'S TRYING TO DO THE 50:02 SAME THING PAUL IS WRITING IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS. 50:06 HE IS TRYING TO SAY, JESUS IS THE REAL DEAL. 50:11 EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT PRESENT, YOU HAVE THE WORD. 50:18 YOU HAVE THE WORD. AND SO THERE'S POWER IN THE 50:21 WORD. WHEN YOU HIT THAT WALL THAT THEY 50:24 WERE TALKING ABOUT, YOU HAVE THE WORD. 50:27 WE BEGAN THE HOUR, TWO HOURS AGO, WITH THE WORD. 50:32 WITHOUT THE WORD, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT PROMISES YOU COULD CLAIM 50:36 BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE WORD. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE 50:41 SANCTIFICICATION EXPERIENCE. YOUR PROMISE IS YOUR POWER, ALL 50:44 COME FROM EATING AND STUDYING AND DIGESTING AND MAKING PART OF 50:50 YOUR LIFE THE WORD. >> AND I WANT TO SAY ONE THING. 50:53 SO MANY PEOPLE, IT STRIKES THEM STRANGE WHEN YOU FIRST SAY, DID 50:57 YOU KNOW THAT ALL OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS ARE PROMISES OF 51:01 WHAT HE WILL DO IN YOU? GOD WILL CAUSE YOU TO BE ALL 51:05 THAT HE HAS CALLED YOU TO BE. AND EVEN THE 10 COMMANDMENTS 51:11 WERE WRITTEN IN THE HEBREW IN FUTURE TENSE. 51:15 SO WHAT GOD IS SAYING IN THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, HE STARTS OFF 51:20 SAYING, YOU KNOW, I HAVE LOVED YOU WITH THIS LOVE AND I'VE BEEN 51:25 LIKE THIS EAGLE, DRAWING YOU TO MYSELF. 51:29 AND THEN HE SAYS, IF YOU'RE IN COVENNANT RELATIONSHIP WITH ME, 51:35 YOU WILL NOT HAVE OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. 51:38 I PROMISE. YOU WILL NOT SERVE IDOLS. 51:44 WILL YOU NOT TAKE MY NAME IN VAIN. 51:48 YOU WILL BE EXCITED TO SPEND THE SABBATH WITH ME. 51:53 YOU WILL HONOR YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER. 51:54 YOU WILL NOT MURDER. YOU WILL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY. 51:58 YOU WILL NOT LIE. YOU WILL NOT COVET. 52:02 WHY? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT RELATIONSHIP 52:05 IS WITH ME. SEE IT'S IN THE FUTURE TENSE. 52:08 IT'S IN THE FORM OF A PROMISE. WE'RE SO USED TO CHARLESTON 52:16 HESTON STANDING, THOU SHALL NOT. THAT'S THE WAY WE FEEL BUT ALL 52:22 OF GOD'S COMMANDS ARE PROMISES BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T ASK US TO DO 52:28 ANYTHING THAT HE'S NOT GOING TO DO FOR US. 52:30 >> PRECISELY. >> YOU SEE THEN HOW 52:35 COMPREHENSIVE IS THE SANCTIFYING THING OF THE CONTINUEAM. 52:44 AS I SAID, WE CAN SPEND HOURS. SANCTIFICATION IS A WAY. 52:57 AND WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. JOHN, DID FOR THE GENERATION, 53:00 SAME THING THAT PAUL DID FOR THE HEBREW CHRISTIANS. 53:04 IN HEBREWS CHAPTER # 11. AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER, HAD 53:11 TO STAND UP AND JUST REALLY YELL AT THE LORD AND JUST PRAISE HIM. 53:16 AND I STARTED VERSE 26. HE TALKS ABOUT THE FAITH-BASED 53:27 MOVES AND TALKS ABOUT GOD. WE PICKED IT UP AT MID. 53:32 STILL OTHERS HAVE TRIALS OF MOCK AND -- THEY WERE STONED, AND 53:37 THEY WERE SLAINED BY THE SWORD, WANDERED IN SHEEP SKIN, 53:43 TORMENTED IN WHOM THE WORLD WAS NOT, AND PEOPLE WHO SUFFERED FOR 53:50 THE LORD. AND ALL OF THESE HAVING OBTAINED 53:53 GOOD REPORT THROUGH FAITH DID NOT RECEIVE THE PROMISE. 53:56 THAT MEANS THEY DIDN'T GET AN ULTIMATE SALVATION. 53:59 HERE'S A TEXT THAT KNOCKS YOU OUT. 54:02 GOD HAVING PROVIDED SOMETHING BETTER FOR US THAT THEY SHOULD 54:06 NOT BE MADE PERFECT APART FROM US. 54:09 WHAT IS IT SAYING? IT'S SAYING, ALL OF THOSE WOULD 54:13 SUFFERED SO VALIANTLY AND WONDERFULLY FOR THE LORD, DIDN'T 54:18 GET THE ULTIMATE REDEMPTION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. 54:22 GOD PROVIDED SOMETHING BETTER, THAT THEY APART FROM US, WILL 54:26 NOT GET THEIRS. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE NOT 54:29 GOING TO GO INTO HEAVEN ONE SECOND BEFORE YOU DO. 54:32 GOD HAS MADE THIS PROMISE THAT WE'RE ALL GOING TO GO IN 54:36 TOGETHER. FOR THE LORD HIMSELF, WITH THE 54:38 SHOUT, WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARC ANGELS, CALLED TOGETHER TO MEET 54:46 THEM IN THE CLOUD AND SHALL WE BE EVER BE WITH THE LORD. 54:50 EVEN THOUGH THEY SUFFERED, GOD SAID, WE ARE GOING TO GO IN 54:54 TOGETHER. WHEN YOU LOOK AT MOSES AND AARON 54:58 AND GREAT ONES IN THE BIBLE AND MILLIONS WHO SUFFERED OVER THE 55:02 YEARS, GOD SAID THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GET IN AND YOU'RE GOING 55:06 TO COME IN A YEAR LATER. WE ARE GOING TO COME TOGETHER BY 55:12 THE GRACE OF GOD. THAT'S THE ULTIMATE REDEMPTION, 55:17 GLOR FICICATION WHEN WE COME TO BE WITH JESUS. 55:21 AND WE LIVE WITH HIM FOREVER. SHALL I GIVE YOU A MINUTE TO PUT 55:24 A BOW ON YOUR THOUGHT? BECAUSE WE'RE JUST ABOUT DONE 55:28 >> ONLY THING THAT'S COMING TO MY MIND AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. 55:33 WHEN MY MOTHER WAS IN INTENSIVE CARE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, AND HER 55:39 HEART WOULD QUIT BEATING IN A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS. 55:41 THEY WOULD GO AND TAKE THE PADLES. 55:45 >> YEAH . 55:46 >> THE DOCTOR WOULD COME AND SAY, WE HAVE CONVERTED HER. 55:51 I THINK OF CONVERSION. IT'S NOT ALWAYS JUST A ONE TIME 55:55 THING. I THINK OF GOD REACHING DOWN 55:57 WITH HANDS OF LOVE AND TOUCHING OUR HEART. 56:00 HE SAID, I WILL REMOVE YOUR HEART OF STONE. 56:02 I WILL GIVE YOUR HEART OF FLESH. HE TOUCHES OUR HEART AND HE 56:08 CONVERTS US AND CHANGES US. AND LORD DO IT AGAIN. 56:13 >> PRAISE THE LORD, GIVE IT TO GOD. 56:15 >> WE TALK ABOUT JEREMIAH, LUKE CHAPTER 8. 56:20 COVER HASN'T CHANGE. THE ONLY THING THAT'S CHANGED IS 56:23 THE TABLET. IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, WRINT IN 56:31 STONE. NOTHING HAS CHANGED ABOUT THE 56:33 LANGUAGE. IT'S THE PLACE WHERE IT IS 56:37 WRITTEN. GOD HAS TO -- GOD WANTS TO LIVE 56:42 HIS LIFE, HE WANTS TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU, THROUGH, AND 56:49 THAT COULDN'T BE DONE WITHOUT THE HEART OF JESUS, AND 56:52 AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE IF YOU ASK, YOU SHOULD BE SAVE. 56:55 WE PRAY THAT YOU SHOULD ALLOW ME IN CLOSING TO WISH YOU BOTH 56:58 GRACE AND PEACE THROUGH THE LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. 57:04 WE'LL SEE YOU THEN. BYE-BYE, AND GOOD NIGHT 57:06 >> AMEN. |
