00:11 >> HELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO THE SECOND HOUR OF OUR THURSDAY 00:16 NIGHT LIVE. AS YOU HAVE BEEN LISTENING, WE 00:19 HAVE BEEN ENJOYING BIBLE QUESTIONS. 00:21 WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO COVER A LITTLE BIT MORE. 00:27 WE DEALT WITH CHALLENGING QUESTIONS IN THE FIRST HOUR, NOT 00:30 IN THE SENSE THAT THEY COULDN'T BE ANSWERED, BUT ONE OF THE 00:35 CHALLENGES WE ALL HAVE AS BIBLE STUDENTS IS WE'RE THINKING WHAT 00:39 YOU ARE THINKING YOU ARE THINKING. 00:42 AND WE'RE TRYING TO PREEMPT WHAT YOU ARE THINKING AFTER WE ANSWER 00:48 THE QUESTION. [ LAUGHTER ] 00:50 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> WE'RE GOING TO TRY -- WE'RE 00:53 GOING TO TRY TO GET MORE QUESTIONS COVERED IN THE SECOND 00:57 HALF. BUT THANK YOU RYAN, SHELLEY, AND 01:02 JOHNNY, OR PASTOR DINZEY. AND PASTOR DAY. 01:05 WE HAVE -- WE ONLY HAVE 14 QUESTIONS LEFT. 01:11 [ LAUGHTER ] >> WHEN I FIRST SHOWED THE LIST 01:15 OF THE 18 QUESTIONS, RYAN SAID IS THAT ALL WE HAVE? 01:21 WELL, WE ONLY COVERED FOUR. SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY OUR BEST 01:26 TO COVER MORE QUESTIONS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE MUSIC. 01:31 JAMIE GEORGE, IF YOU ARE JUST TUNING IN, THIS PROGRAM IS ABOUT 01:36 ANSWERING BIBLE QUESTIONS. IF THERE IS A QUESTION IN YOUR 01:39 MIND, YOU CAN SUBMIT THOSE AT LIVE@3ABN.TV. 01:47 GO TO WEBSITE AND SUBMIT QUESTIONS AS YOU LOOK AT WAYS OF 01:51 CONNECTING US. BUT JAIME JORGE IS GOING TO PLAY 01:56 A BEAUTIFUL SONG "THE HOLY CITY," AND I KNOW YOU ARE GOING 02:01 TO BE BLESSED. ♪ 06:39 >> WOW. [ LAUGHTER ] 06:40 >> AMEN. >> IF THAT DIDN'T RE-ENERGIZE 06:43 YOU FOR THE SECOND HOUR, THEN NOTHING WILL. 06:46 IS HE A MINISTER OR WHAT? >> AMEN. 06:49 >> AMEN. PRAISE THE LORD. 06:50 >> I JUST THINK -- WE'RE ON THIS SIDE OF IMPERFECTION, WHAT WILL 06:56 HAPPEN IF THERE ARE VIOLINS IN THE NEW EARTH? 07:00 THE GOOD THING IS THERE WOULD BE NO PRIDE, SO EVERYBODY WOULD BE 07:04 GOOD. BUT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT 07:07 SIN. IS IT POSSIBLE TO LIVE WITHOUT 07:11 SIN? AND LET ME SUMMARIZE IT BY 07:13 SAYING -- I WANT YOU TO GO AHEAD -- THAT -- 07:16 >> YES.-YES. >> SURE.-SURE. 07:19 SO WE WERE JUST TALKING, YOU KNOW, KIND OF OVER THE BREAK 07:24 THAT WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS QUESTION OF, YOU KNOW, SIN 07:29 AND NOT SINNING AND PERFECTION AND NOT PERFECTION. 07:34 IT ALWAYS COMES BACK TO -- SOME PEOPLE HAVE THIS LEGALISTIC 07:40 MENTALITY THAT I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING PERFECT. 07:42 SO IT ELEMENTS A RULES AN PROECH TO CHRISTIANY. 07:46 WE HAVE GOT TO FOLLOW THE RULES PERFECT. 07:48 I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING PERFECT, OR I'M NOT WORTHY OF HEAVEN. 07:53 I WATCHED A SERIES, AND I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT HE USED WAS 07:59 IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU DO. AND AS SOON AS YOU SAY THAT, 08:06 AUTOMATICALLY PEOPLE PUT UP A BARRIER. 08:09 BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU DO, IT'S WHO YOU KNOW. 08:14 AND WHO YOU KNOW CHANGES WHAT YOU DO. 08:16 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> THAT'S POWERFUL BECAUSE WHEN 08:19 YOU TAKE YOUR FIND OFF OF THE RULES AND PUT YOUR MINE ON THE 08:25 RULER, SO THE SABBATH MEANS NOTHING WITHOUT THE LORD OF THE 08:29 SABBATH. SO YOU PUT YOUR MIND ON THE LORD 08:31 FIRST, AND THEN THE RULES COME, BECAUSE CHRIST HELPS YOU 08:36 OVERCOME. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 08:37 >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WHEN WE THINK ABOUT GRACE, TO ME THE 08:41 THREE GREATEST GIFTS OF GRACE ARE JESUS CHRIST, GOD SO LOVED 08:46 THE WORLD, HE GAVE US HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THE HOLY SPIRIT 08:50 AND THE WORLD. WHEN CHRIST IS LIVING IN OUR 08:55 HEARTS, WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS DWELLING IN US, HE IS GOING TO 09:00 WORK IN US TO DO HIS WORK. AND JAMES 21 SAYS WHEN THE WORD 09:05 OF GOD IS IMPLANTED IN OUR HEART [ INAUDIBLE ] SAVE OUR SOUL, BUT 09:10 PERFECTION IS IN STAGES. JESUS TALKS ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF 09:19 GOD IS AS A MAN WHO SCATTERED SEED ON THE GROUND, SHOULD SLEEP 09:25 BY NIGHT AND RISE BY DAY AND THE SEED SHALL GROW. 09:32 FIRST THE BLADE, THEN THE HEAD, AND AFTER THAT THE FULL GRAIN IN 09:39 THE HEAD. SO WHEN WE PLANT GOD'S WORD IN 09:44 OUR HEART, HOW DOES A MAN KEEP FROM SINNING, BY HIS WORD. 09:50 YOU PLANT GOD'S WORD IN YOUR HEART. 09:53 AND THIS LITTLE BLADE POPS UP. THIS IS SOMETHING I DON'T WANT 09:56 TO DO. IT DOESN'T PLEASE MY LORD. 09:59 YOU MAY STILL STUMBLE AND FALL, BUT YOU ARE PERFECT AT THAT 10:04 STAGE, AGAIN WHEN IT COMES UP, AND THE EAR POPS UP, YOU ARE 10:09 MATURING. SANCTIFICATION IS THE WORK OF A 10:12 LIFETIME, BUT GOD HAS GIVEN US THE GRACE TO GO FORWARD, AND HE 10:18 WILL PHILIPPIANS 1:6, HE WILL FINISH IT. 10:25 >> FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE THINKING WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO 10:29 DO TO BE SAVED. WHEN CHRIST IS BORN WITHIN, HE 10:33 WILL FULFILL THE RIGHTEOUS REQUIREMENTS OF HIS LAW THROUGH 10:38 US. AND SO JUST ININVITE CHRIST TO 10:40 COME INTO YOUR LIFE. THE SIMPLICITY OF SALVATION IS 10:46 OFTEN CAMOUFLAGED IN HUMAN DOISM, RATHER THAN CHRIST. 10:51 AND SOMETIMES WE SAY WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO DO. 10:56 UNTIL YOU ARE INCORRUPTIBLE, YOU WILL ALWAYS NEED CHRIST. 11:02 >> THAT'S RIGHT. AMEN. 11:04 >> I WANT TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION, BECAUSE A LOT OF 11:07 THESE SIN QUESTIONS -- LET ME THROW ANOTHER OUT HERE. 11:12 WHY DOESN'T GOD ANSWER MY PRAYERS? 11:15 WHY DOESN'T GOD ANSWER MY PRAYERS? 11:18 >> WE ALSO ANSWERS. >> OKAY. 11:21 >> 1 PETER SAYS THERE ARE THINGS THAT CAME INTO A MAN'S PRAYERS 11:26 IN A WAY -- AND ALSO -- I CAN'T THINK OF THE SCRIPTURE, BUT THE 11:30 OLD TEST SAYS THAT SIN CAN PUT UP A BARRIER. 11:34 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> BUT IF YOU ARE LIVING A LIFE 11:38 WITH THE LORD, HE ALWAYS ANSWERS. 11:43 IF IT'S A SPIRITUAL QUESTION, THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS YES. 11:46 SOMETIMES IT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT HE IS SAYING NO.-OR IT COULD BE SIMPLY LATER. 11:53 BUT I BELIEVE GOD -- IF WE'RE WALKING WITH THE LORD -- HE IS 11:58 ALWAYS GOING TO ANSWER OUR PRAYER. 12:00 >> THAT'S RIGHT. PASTOR DINZEY. 12:02 >> I WANT TO BE CAREFUL HERE, BECAUSE SOMEIMES PEOPLE PRAY 12:07 THINGS THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR THEM. 12:09 THEY ARE ASKING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT FOR THEIR BEST 12:13 SPIRITUAL BENEFIT, AND SO GOD MAY NOT GIVE IT TO YOU. 12:17 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES 12:21 THAT WE CAN GIVE TOWARDS THAT. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT IF YOU 12:28 PRESENT A NEED TO THE LORD, THE LORD WILL ANSWER THAT PRAYER. 12:34 IF YOU SAY LORD, I HAVE THIS NEED, ALL OF YOUR NEEDS WILL BE 12:39 MET BY THE LORD. YOU READ PSALMS 34, IT SAYS THAT 12:45 THE -- THAT HIS CHILDREN WILL NOT LACK ANY GOOD THINGS. 12:49 SO GOD WILL SUPPLY YOUR NEEDS. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 12:53 >> NOW WHEN YOU ARE ASKING FOR THINGS THAT YOU WANT AND NOT 12:58 NECESSARILY NEED, THERE MAY BE A DELAY IN RECEIVING THAT REQUEST. 13:03 BUT I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT SOMETIMES PEOPLE PRAY FOR THE 13:06 WRONG THING. >> AMEN. 13:08 >> I REMEMBER A GENTLEMAN THAT CALLED HERE, AND I'M JUST GOING 13:14 TO DESCRIBE BRIEFLY WHAT HE SAID. 13:16 HE SAID, YOU KNOW, I NOTICED IN THE BIBE THAT THERE APPEARS TO 13:21 BE A GOD'S PERMISSIVE WILL, AND HE SAID, I REALLY LOVE THIS 13:27 WOMAN, AND I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE HER, BUT I REALLY LOVE HER. 13:32 AND I WONDER IF YOU WOULD JOIN ME IN PRAYER TO ASK FOR THE LORD 13:37 THAT THROUGH HIS PERMISSIVE WILL, HE WOULD LET ME HAVE THIS 13:42 WOMAN? NOW FOR SOME REASON HE THOUGHT 13:44 THIS WAS NOT GOOD FOR HIM TO HAVE THIS WOMAN. 13:47 SO I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE ASKING. 13:51 YOU ARE ASKING FOR THE RESULTS -- DO YOU UNDERSTAND 13:57 WHAT YOU ARE ASKING. SO WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES, IF 14:02 WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR, IS IT REALLY FOR OUR BENEFIT? 14:06 NOW THERE ARE REASONS WHY THE LORD WILL NOT ANSWER PRAYER. 14:12 IN PSALMS 66 IT SAYS IF I REGARD THE INIQUITY IN MY HEART, THE 14:21 LORD WILL NOT HEAR ME. SO IF YOU ARE PRAYING FOR 14:25 SOMETHING -- YOU HAVE PLANS TO DO SIN, IT'S BEST FOR YOU TO PUT 14:33 YOURSELF IN THE HANDS OF THE LORD, AND PRAY FOR THE LORD TO 14:37 GIVE YOU VICTORY, INSTEAD OF LIVING A LIFE AND SIN AND THEN 14:43 YOU ARE ASKING THE LORD TO BLESS YOU. 14:46 WE HAVE TO LINE OURSELVES UP WITH THE LORD'S WILL, AND THEN 14:49 WE CAN REST ASSURED THAT IF IT'S GOOD FOR US, GOD WILL LET US -pHAVE IT. 14:54 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> RYAN? 14:56 >> I THINK THERE'S A FEW REASONS PERHAPS THAT GOD DOES NOT ANSWER 15:02 OUR PRAYERS. A FEW THINGS COME TO MIND. 15:06 FIRST OF ALL, ARE WE BEING OBEDIENT. 15:09 >> OKAY. >> YES. 15:10 >> SOMETIMES WE ASK FOR THINGS FROM GOD OR WE SIMPLY PRAY TO 15:15 GOD AND DECLARE HIM TO COME THROUGH FOR US, AND YET OUR 15:20 CURRENT LIFE IS NOT IN ALIGNMENT WITH HIS WILL. 15:24 TEXT THAT COMES TO MIND IS PSALMS 84:11. 15:31 AND SO WE HAVE TO BE OBEDIENT. WE HAVE TO WALK IN THAT LIGHT 15:36 THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US. BUT WE CAN EXPECT GOOD THINGS 15:40 FROM HIM. ANOTHER THING THAT COMES TO MIND 15:43 IS SOMETIMES WHAT WE THINK IS GOOD FOR US ISN'T WHAT IS GOOD 15:49 FOR US. IT MAY NOT BE WHAT GOD 15:53 CONSIDERED TO BE BEST FOR US. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 15:55 >> IS IT THE RIGHT TIME. TIMING IS IMPORTANT. 16:02 THERE IS A SONG I USED TO SING CALLED "HE'S AN ON TIME GOD." 16:11 SO SOMETIMES WE WONDER WHY HASN'T GOD ANSWERED MY PRAYER, 16:16 AND MAYBE IT'S JUST NOT THE RIGHT TIME FOR HIM TO ANSWER 16:20 THAT PRAYER. AND ARE YOU ASKING IN FAITH? 16:22 ARE YOU ASKING -- WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU ARE PETITIONING GOD 16:26 FOR, IS IT OUT OF TRUE BIBLICAL FAITH. 16:38 JAMES SAYS WHEN YOU ASK YOU MUST BELIEVE AND NOT DOUT, BECAUSE 16:44 THE ONE WHO DOUBTS [ INAUDIBLE ] OF THE SEA BLOWN AND TOSSED BY 16:49 THE WIND, THAT PERSON SHOULD NOT EXPECT TO RECEIVE ANYTHING FROM 16:52 THE LORD. SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ASK IN 16:57 FAITH. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 16:59 SHELLEY? >> I STILL BELIEVE GOD IS 17:01 ANSWERING THAT PRAYER. THE ANSWER IS NO. 17:04 BECAUSE WE DO KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO PRAY IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS 17:08 WILL. BUT THERE ARE TIMES THAT PEPLE 17:12 SAY, GOD DOESN'T ANSWER MY PRAYERS. 17:14 YOU ARE NOT PRAYING FOR THE RIGHT THINGS. 17:19 SO THERE ARE TIMES WHEN A CHILD IS ASKING THEIR PARENT FOR 17:22 SOMETHING -- MOMMY I WANT A MOTORCYCLE. 17:28 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> BUT THE GOOD THING IS WHEN WE 17:31 PRAY FOR SPIRITUAL HELP, YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY BE CERTAIN THAT THE 17:36 ANSWER IS ALWAYS YES. >> YES. 17:38 >> THE PROMISE THAT THE LORD HAS MADE, MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL OF 17:47 YOUR NEEDS. BUT SOMETIMES HE WILL SAY NO, 17:51 YOU WILL KILL YOURSELF IF YOU GET THAT CAR. 17:54 AND SOME PEOPLE CANNOT HANDLE WEALTH OR CERTAIN POSITIONS IN -LIFE, BECAUSE THEY WILL KILL 18:00 THEMSELVES, BECAUSE THEY PRAYED TO BE THE BEST OR THE TOP OR IN 18:04 THE FIRST SEAT OR THE LEADER, AND THEY GET THE POSITION, AND 18:08 THEY DIE FROM PRIDE. SO VERY QUICKLY, THE POINTS WERE 18:15 MADE, BUT PROVERBS 28:9, AND JAMES 4:3. 18:27 THE LORD SAYS YOU DON'T NEED -- MY DAD SAID YOU DON'T 18:35 NEED A BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD. YOU JUST NEED A CAR. 18:40 WE ASK FOR WHAT WILL BRING SATISFACTION TO OUR SINFUL 18:48 HEARTS. AND 1 JOHN 5:14. 18:53 FATHER LEAD ME TO ASK ACCORDING TO YOUR WILL. 18:55 AND YOU WILL HAVE THE CONFIDENCE HE HEARS, AND HE WILL CHOOSE THE 19:03 TIMING. PASTOR DINZEY IS SMILING OVER 19:07 THERE -- >> WE DO HAVE TO GO TO OTHER 19:10 QUESTIONS, BUT GOD INVITES US TO ASK. 19:15 HE IS MORE WILLING TO GIVE US MORE THINGS THAT OUR EARTHLY 19:21 PARENTS ARE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 19:25 HE IS MORE WILLING TO GIVE US HIS HOLY SPIRIT THAN WE ARE 19:33 WILLING TO ASK. LET ME GO TO ANOTHER ONE HERE 19:41 THAT -- WHERE DID SIN COME FROM? OKAY. 19:45 LET'S GO BACK INTO THIS ONE? WHERE DID SIN COME FROM. 19:50 >> ISAIAH 14 -- >> YEAH, LET'S GO BACK TO A 19:55 COUPLE OF MORE SCRIPTURES. >> YOU WANT TO DO ISAIAH 14? 20:01 BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS SIN ORIGINATED IN THE HEART OF A 20:07 PERFECTLY CREATED BEING, WHEN HE BECAME PRIDEFUL. 20:17 IN PHILLIPIANS, WHEN PAUL SAYS LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU, WHO 20:22 BEING IN THE FORM OF GOD DID NOT THINK IT BRIBERY TO BE 20:28 CONSIDERED EQUAL TO GOD, BUT HE HUMBLED HIMSELF AND CAME IN THE 20:35 LIKENESS OF MEN. HUMILITY IS ONE OF THE 20:40 ATTRIBUTES THAT GOD HAD. AND HUMILITY IS TO LEARN TOTAL 20:46 DEPENDANCE UPON GOD. PRIDE IS JUST THE OPPOSITE. 20:49 PRIDE IS WHEN YOU STAND UP AND YOU REFUSE -- AND GOD HAS REALLY 20:55 SHOWN ME THIS. WHEN I REFUSE TO BE DEPENDANT 21:01 UPON GOD, THEN I'M BEING PRIDEFUL. 21:07 HE SAID IF I WILL LIFTED UP -- HE HAD I TROUBLES, RIGHT? 21:12 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> EZEKIEL SAYS HE WAS WALKING 21:19 TO AND FRO IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD, YET HE WAS CAST DOWN. 21:24 I THINK THE ROOT OF ALL SIN IS PRIDE, WHICH IS A LACK OF 21:31 DEPENDANCE UPON GOD. >> IF I WILL LIFTED UP, JESUS 21:35 MADE THAT STATEMENT. I WILL EXALT MYSELF -- 21:38 >> THANK YOU. >> EXALTING ONESELF. 21:44 >> YES. >> RYAN? 21:46 >> REALLY QUICKLY. WE MENTIONED EZEKIEL CHAPTER 28 21:52 IN THAT PARTICULAR PASSAGE, GOD IS DESCRIBING THE ETERNITY PAST, 21:59 OF LUCIFER WHO WAS THE PERFECT ANGEL, BUT HE SAYS YOU WERE ONCE 22:05 THE ANOINTED CHERUB, I ESTABLISHED YOU. 22:10 BUT THEN HE GOES ON TO SAY, YOU WERE PERFECT IN ALL OF YOUR WAYS 22:15 FROM THE DAY YOU WERE CREATED UNTIL INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN YOU. 22:22 SO THAT SIN WAS BORN OUT OF A SELFISH HEART OF A PERFECT ANGEL 22:29 AT ONE TIME, AND HE BROUGHT THAT SIN. 22:33 THE QUESTION IS ABOUT SIN, WHICH OF COURSE IS THE OPPOSITE -- ON 22:38 THE OPPOSITE SPECTRUM OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS THE 22:42 CHARACTER OF GOD. A PASSAGE THAT COMES TO MIND IS 22:48 JOHN 8, VERSE 42, CHRIST IS HAVING A -- A -- A CONVERSATION 22:56 WITH THE PHARAOH SEES. HE SAYS NOR HAVE I COME OF 23:06 MYSELF, BUT HE SENT ME. IT SAYS WHY DO YOU NOT 23:09 UNDERSTAND MY SPEECH? BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO 23:12 LISTEN TO MY WORD. YOU ARE OF YOUR FATHER, THERE IT 23:17 IS, NOTICE THE SEPARATION -- YOU ARE YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL, AND 23:22 THE DESIRES OF YOUR FATHER YOU WANT TO DO. 23:26 HE WAS A MURDER -- ONE OF THE ASPECTS OF THE LAW IS NOT TO 23:30 KILL -- HE WAS A MURDER FROM THE BEGINNING AND DOES NOT STAND IN 23:35 TRUTH BECAUSE THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM, WHEN HE SPEAKS A LIE, HE 23:40 SPEAKS FROM HIS OWN RESOURCES, FOR HE IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER 23:44 OF IT. SO WE SEE A DISTINGUISHING 23:48 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND SIN. 23:50 >> IT ALWAYS BEGINNING WITH THE FATHER. 23:52 HE IS THE FATHER OF UNRIG UNRIGHT 23:59 UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 24:00 >> I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT THERE IS NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON 24:05 FOR SIN TO EXIST OR ORIGINATE BECAUSE GOD MADE A PERFECT 24:12 WORLD, A PERFECT UNIVERSE, AND LUCIFER WAS PERFECT IN THE 24:20 BEGINNING. THAT MEANS THERE WAS NO FLAW, OR 24:28 MINUTIST ATOM IN HIM THAT CONTAINED EVIL. 24:35 AND THEN EZEKIEL 28:14, YOU WERE PERFECT FROM THE DAY YOU WERE 24:40 CREATED UNTIL INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN YOU, AND THAT PHRASE WAS 24:45 FOUND -- THE HEBREW PHRASE IS A PHRASE THAT SPEAKS OF -- THERE 24:50 WAS NOTHING THERE UNTIL IT SURFACED. 24:53 >> UH-HUH. >> IT'S LIKE AN INVESTIGATION IS 24:56 MADE, AND PRIOR TO THAT MOMENT WHEN SIN --HE DESIRED TO DO 25:01 SIN, THEN IT EXISTED. THEN IT ORIGINATED, BUT BECAUSE 25:06 THIS, THERE WAS NO SIN BECAUSE GOD MADE A PERFECT BEING, BUT 25:11 THERE'S NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON -- AND WE CAN LOOK AT 25:14 THIS AS PRIDE AND SELFISHNESS AS THE ROOT OF ALL OF THIS COMING 25:20 OUT. BUT THERE WAS NO JUSTIFIABLE 25:22 REASON FOR IT. AND I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THAT 25:26 GOD IS GOING TO DO AWAY WITH SIN, AND WE'RE GOING TO LIVE IN 25:31 A SINLESS WORLD. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 25:34 >> BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ORIGINATION OF SIN IN HEAVEN. 25:39 AND GOD DID NOT CREATE A DEVIL. BUT WHAT HAPPENED WAS WHEN THE 25:45 SERPENT WITH ADAM AND EVE, WHAT HE DID WAS TO LIE ABOUT THE 25:50 CHARACTER OF GOD. HE MADE GOD SOUND UNLOVING AND 25:56 CONTROLLING, AND HE -- HE TWISTED GOD'S WORD. 26:00 HE WOULD SAY, WELL, DID GOD REALLY SAY THIS? 26:03 HE WOULD REPEAT LIKE 90% OF IT, BUT THEN HE WOULD ADD SOMETHING 26:07 TO IT. SO HERE IS MY POINT, IS THAT WE 26:10 HAVE GOT TO BE CAREFUL WHEN WE ARE TALKING TO OTHERS THAT WE 26:15 DON'T DO THE SAME THING AS SATAN DID. 26:19 WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL THAT WHEN WE'RE DESCRIBING GOD, GOD AS 26:25 LOVE, THAT WE DON'T GO OUT AND SAY, IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, GOD'S 26:30 GOING TO -- THAT'S NOT UP TO US HERE. 26:34 SO WE ARE TO -- AS PAUL TOLD TIMOTHY -- WE ARE TO SPEAK THE 26:40 TRUTH IN LOVE, TEACH IN A GENTLE FASHION WITH HUMILITY AND BE 26:46 CAREFUL HOW WE REPRESENT THE CHARACTER OF GOD. 26:50 >> THAT'S RIGHT. AND TO SEGUE, SIN WAS BORN IN 26:55 LUCIFER'S HEART, BUT IT STILL DIDN'T HAVE ENTRANCE INTO THE 27:01 WORLD UNTIL SATAN OPENED THE DOOR. 27:04 AND THUS DEATH SPREAD TO ALL MEN. 27:07 LUCIFER -- IT COULD HAVE ENDED RIGHT THERE, HAD ADAM NOT OPENED 27:16 THE DOOR. SATAN WAS THE FATHER OF LIES AND 27:21 MURDER, BUT IT COULDN'T COME INTO THE WORLD UNLESS ADAM 27:25 OPENED THE DOOR. SO EVEN THOUGH SIN EXISTS, WE 27:28 DON'T HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR TO IT. 27:31 >> AMEN. >> THAT'S THE KEY. 27:33 IF WE DON'T SIN -- WE DON'T WALK PAST A CONVENIENCE STORE AND 27:41 GRAB A CIGARETTE BECAUSE IT IS THERE, OR BEER, OR WHATEVER. 27:49 HERE IS ANOTHER ONE -- LET ME THROW ANOTHER ONE AT YOU. 27:53 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR EARTHLY DIET AND HEAVENLY 27:58 DIET? KIND OF JUST TO MIX IT UP A 28:00 LITTLE BIT. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 28:06 OUR EARTHLY DIET AND OUR HEAVENLY DIET. 28:11 AND WE DON'T NEED TO SAY IT WON'T BE IN A CAN. 28:15 >> WELL, THERE WILL BE N KILLING. 28:19 SO WE WON'T BE EATING ANIMAL FLESH. 28:25 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> OKAY. 28:27 WHO -- WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR HEAVENLY DIET AND 28:31 OUR EARTHLY DIET? >> WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, TODAY 28:37 PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING WE CAN EAT HAS HAD SEVERAL THOUSAND 28:40 YEARS OF -- >> POLLUTION. 28:43 >> POLLUTION AND CONTAMINATION AND -- SO THE FOOD WE HAVE TODAY 28:49 IS NOT PERFECT. THE -- THE FOOD -- THE HEAVENLY 28:52 DIET IS GOING TO BE PERFECT, BECAUSE GOD IS GOING TO BRING 28:56 EVERYTHING BACK TO PERFECTION AGAIN. 28:58 SO AS FAR AS THE DIET IS -- I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY ARE CONCERNED 29:02 ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW -- >> THEY WANT TO GET READY. 29:06 >> YES, WE NEED TO GET READY. GOD HAS GIVEN US INSTRUCTION IN 29:14 THE BIBLE SO WE CAN AVOID SICK N 29:22 -- SICKNESS TO A GREAT DEGREE. AND SO WE WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE 29:26 TO LOOK TO GENESIS 1, AND GENESIS 2, AND LEE VIF CUSS 11 29:37 TO HELP US AVOID DISEASES. GOD IS GIVING US THE GUIDELINES 29:43 FOR -- TO AVOID THE MAJORITY OF THE DISEASES THAT ARE OUTTHERE 29:48 TODAY. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 29:50 >> SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU THAT -- IT'S A STEP -- IF YOU 29:54 ARE NOT EATING ACCORDING TO GENESIS 2 AND 3, AND AS SHELLEY 30:00 SAID, GENESIS 1 AND 2, THAT WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO THAT 30:09 ORIGINAL DIET, AND LEVITICUS 11, IS A GOOD PLACE TO START. 30:14 AND ONE OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE TO AVOID IS SWINE OR PORK, 30:18 BECAUSE IT CONTAINS SO MUCH THAT CAN HARM YOU. 30:23 >> GOD CREATED PIGS TO BE THE GARBAGE COLLECTORS. 30:29 >> THAT'S RIGHT. THE THINGS THAT GOD TELLS US TO 30:34 AVOID ARE THE SCAVENGERS. >> CAN YOU IMAGINE SOMEBODY 30:41 RUNNING OUT OF HERE WHEN THEY HEAR A GARBAGE TRUCK PASSING BY, 30:45 AND SAY IT'S LUNCHTIME. [ LAUGHTER ] 30:48 >> WHAT IS HE DOING? HE IS TRYING TO CATCH UP TO THE 30:52 LUNCH TRUCK. THAT'S A GARBAGE TRUCK. 30:56 EXACTLY. THE PIG IS PERFECT FOR WHAT IT 30:58 IS CREATED FOR. ALL OF THE ANIMALS OF GOD ARE 31:02 PERFECT FOR WHAT THEY ARE CREATED FOR. 31:05 BUT A GARBAGE TRUCK IS QUITE DIFFERENT THAN THE RESTAURANT. 31:08 GARBAGE TRUCKS ARE NOT CREATED FOR US TO EAT FROM THEM. 31:13 PASTOR RYAN YOU WANT TO ADD SOMETHING? 31:20 >> VERY QUICKLY. PASTOR DINZEY HAS DONE A 31:25 WONDERFUL JOB. AND GOD ADDED VEGETABLES TO THE 31:30 DIET. AND BIBLICALLY GOD HAS GIVEN 31:35 PERMISSION FOR US TO EAT CLEAN MEATS WHEN PREPARED PROPERLY. 31:39 BUT TALKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EARTHLY DIET AND THE 31:43 HEAVENLY DIET, THERE IS ONE ASPECT WE HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED 31:49 ON EARTH. REVELATION 22, HE SHOWED ME A 31:54 CLEAR RIVER OF THE WATER OF LIFE. 31:56 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREAM ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RIVER WAS THE 32:02 TREE OF LIFE, WHICH BORE 12 FRUIT. 32:05 THE LEAVES OF THE TREE WERE FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS. 32:08 SO WE'LL HAVE ACCESS TO THAT TREE OF LIFE. 32:12 I HAVE TO BELIEVE THERE IS GOING TO BE AN AVOCADO ON THAT TREE, 32:18 MAN. [ LAUGHTER ] 32:19 >> OR SOMETHING EVEN BETTER THAN AN AVOCADO OR EVEN BETTER THAN A 32:28 MANGO. >> I WILL GUARANTEE THIS, AND WE 32:31 CAN ALL AGREE ON THIS, WHATEVER HE PROVIDES, YOU ARE GOING TO BE 32:35 VERY HAPPY. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SAY, MAN, I 32:38 MISS -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS. 32:40 THE FORMER THINGS WILL NOT BE REMEMBERED, NOR COME TO MIND. 32:44 AND YOU USED THIS TEXT A MOMENT AGO, THIS ALSO APPLIES TO DIET, 32:52 NO GOOD THING WILL HE WITHHOLD FROM THOSE WHO WALK -- 32:55 >> AMEN. >> DON'T DO TO YOUR BODY WHAT 33:00 YOU WILL NOT DO TO YOUR CAR. >> PSALM 84:11. 33:05 >> THAT'S RIGHT. LET ME THROW YOU ANOTHER 33:09 QUESTION. I'M JUST MIXING IT UP A LITTLE 33:15 BIT HERE. [ INAUDIBLE ] WALKED WITH GOD 33:18 FOR 300 YEARS. I HAVE A HARD TIME STAYING IN 33:21 STEP WITH HIM FOR A WHOLE DAY. THEY SAID, HO DID HE DO THAT? 33:27 [ LAUGHTER ] >> HOW DID HE DO THAT? 33:30 DO YOU THINK ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD FOR 300 YEARS, OR HE WALKED 33:38 WITH GOD MOMENT BY MOMENT. >> GOOD POINT. 33:40 >> I'LL KICK IT OFF FOR US HERE. BECAUSE I'M SURE THEY HAVE 33:45 WONDERFUL THINGS TO SAY. MANY TIMES WHEN YOU THINK OF 33:49 ENOCH, THESE GREAT CHARACTERS THAT WERE TRANSLATED, FOR 33:52 INSTANCE, ENOCH, OR ELIJAH -- >> DEFINE TRANSLATION. 34:00 SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW -- >> RIGHT. 34:02 PAUL TALKED ABOUT IN -- IN -- I THINK IT'S THE 16TH CHAPTER OF 34:10 1ST CORINTHIANS. HE SAYS WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED 34:16 IN THE TWINKLE OF AN EYE. SO WHETHER WE HAVE FELL ASLEEP 34:21 IN CHRIST IN THIS LIFETIME, OR YOU ARE ALIVE AND AWAKE, EVERY 34:28 PERSON SHALL BE TRANSLATED. I BELIEVE THAT MEANS TRANSFORMED 34:33 INTO A DIFFERENT HEAVENLY LIKENESS. 34:36 LIKENED TO THAT OF THE GLORIOUS BODY OF CHRIST. 34:39 SO IN THIS CASE, I BELIEVE WE HAVE TO FIRST REALIZE THAT THE 34:44 BIBLE SAYS ALL HAVE FELL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. 34:51 WAS ENOCH PERFECT IN THAT HE NEVER SINNED? 34:55 ABSOLUTELY NOT. HE HAD AT ONE TIME SINNED, BUT 34:58 HE HAD SUCH A TIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, THAT ACCORDING TO HIS 35:02 LIFE, HE WAS CHANGED OR TRANSFORMED OR TRANSLATED FROM 35:07 HIS EARTHLY BODY INTO HIS HEAVENLY BODY AND TAKEN TO THE 35:12 KINGDOM OF GOD. WHEN I THINK OF THAT PARTICULAR 35:16 CONCEPT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT -- YOU KNOW, 35:19 THAT WAS -- I BELIEVE THAT CONTINUAL WALK AS WE TALKED 35:24 ABOUT EARLIER, WAS A DAILY SANCTIFYING MOMENT. 35:31 PAUL DESCRIBES IT AS FAITH TO FAITH, GLORY TO GLORY, STEP BY 35:37 STEP. IT'S NOT JUST ONE GIANT LEAP OR 35:41 BOUND THAT WE REACH PERFECTION. BUT IT'S THE SANCTIFICATION THAT 35:47 IS THE WORK OF A LIFETIME. I THINK WE NEED TO FOLLOW THE 35:53 EXAMPLE OF LIFTING JESUS UP. THAT EXPERIENCE THAT NICK DEE 36:02 MOUSE DESCRIBED.-A LIFE -- THERE IS A LIFE AND A LOOK AT THE SAVIOR. 36:09 >> OKAY. AND CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF 36:14 GLORY. >> RIGHT. 36:15 >> IT IS GOD WHO WORKS IN US FOR HIS WILL -- GOD WAS IN ENOCH. 36:21 GOD IS WANTING TO BE IN ALL OF US TO WORK OUT HIS PERFECT WILL. 36:26 IT IS CHRIST IN US, FOR GOD WORKS IN US THROUGH CHRIST. 36:31 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> HERE IS ONE SCRIPTURE -- I 36:35 WANT TO JUST ADD THIS HERE. BECAUSE I MADE THE SUGGESTION, I 36:39 MADE THE ILLUSION THAT ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD MOMENT BY 36:43 MOMENT, THAT ADDED UP TO 300 YEARS. 36:47 THAT'S WHY WE SHOULD NEVER THINK OF TOMORROW -- THE BIBLE SAYS 36:50 TAKE NO THOUGHTS OF TOMORROW SAYING WHAT SHOULD WE DRINK OR 36:55 EAT OR WEAR. DON'T SAY BY DECEMBER I'M GOING 37:00 TO BE RIGHTEOUS. THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. 37:03 NOT IN THIS LIFE. WE HAVE GOT TO ABIDE IN CHRIST 37:07 MOMENT BY MOMENT, DAY BY DAY. 1 JOHN 2:6, AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT 37:17 THE LIFE OF CHRIST, THAT PHRASE, AS HE WALKED, AS JESUS IS 37:22 WALKING TOWARDS THE JORDAN. AS WE WALKED, JOHN SAID BEHOLD 37:26 THE LAMB OF GOD, SO AS WE WALK, THE LAMB OF GOD MUST BE REVEALED 37:31 IN YOUR LIVES. AND THE JOURNEY WAS NOT A DRIVE 37:34 OR FLIGHT, IT WAS A WALK. IT'S YOUR MOMENT BY MOMENT WALK 37:39 WITH CHRIST, IN CHRIST THAT BRINGS ABOUT MOMENT BY MOMENT 37:43 VICTORY, AND ARE WE SAFE FOR ONE MOMENT? 37:46 HERE IS THE ANSWER. IS A TIGHT ROPE WALKER SAFE FOR 37:50 ONE MOMENT? [ LAUGHTER ] 37:52 >> IF HE TAKES HIS EYES OFF OF THE ROPE? 37:55 NO. >> I THINK HIS EVER-LASTING ARMS 37:58 ARE BENEATH US, AND HE IS READY TO CATCH US IF WE FALL. 38:08 GALATIANS 5:16 WHERE PAUL SAYS WALK IN THE SPIRIT, YOU SHALL 38:15 NOT FULFILL LESS THAN THE SPIRIT. 38:17 AND THE CNTRARY TO ONE ANOTHER. BUT I DON'T KNOW -- I DO KNOW 38:23 THAT JOHN SAYS THAT TO AS MANY IS RECEIVED -- THE GAVE THE 38:27 RIGHT TO BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD. 38:29 HE ADOPTED US BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, BUT WHEN WE'RE BEING 38:34 LEAD BY THE SPIRIT, A LOT OF US ARE KIND OF LIKE -- IT'S KIND OF 38:38 LIKE, HE IS DRAGGING US ALONG, AND A LOT OF US TRY TO GET AHEAD 38:43 OF THE SPIRIT, I THINK TO WALK REQUEST CHRIST MOMENT BY MOMENT 38:47 IS JUST A SIMPLE MATTER OF YIELDING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AND 38:52 DEPENDING ON GOD. >> AND THE BATTLE IS OUR DESIRE 38:57 TO DO HIS WILL. WHY CAN'T I DO WHAT GOD WANTS ME 39:01 TO DO? BECAUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF SIN IS 39:05 THE LETTER I. THAT'S THE REAL ISSUE. 39:07 I DON'T WANT TO DO IT. THAT'S OUR NATURAL TENDENCY. 39:15 >> JESUS SAID IN LUKE 9:23, ANY MAN WHO COMES AFTER ME, LET HIM 39:23 DENY HIMSELF, PICK UP HIS CROSS DAILY AND FOLLOW ME. 39:28 AND AS YOU DO THIS, KEEP YOUR EYE ON JESUS. 39:30 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND THAT'S HOW WE SHULD LIVE 39:34 OUR LIVES. JESUS SAID ABIE IN ME, AND 39:38 ABIDING IN HIM MEANS YOU KEEP YOUR EYES ON HIM, KEEP FOCUSED 39:42 ON HIM. ISAIAH 26:3-4, GOD WILL KEEP HIM 39:49 IN PERFECT PIECE WHO'S MIND HAS STAYED ON THEE. 39:54 SO KEEPING OUR MINDS WITH HIM IS HOW WE CAN WALK WITH HIM. 39:59 >> AND TO LIVE WITHOUT BEING CONDEMNED ROMANS 8:1, THEREFORE, 40:05 NO CONDEMNATION TO THOSE WHO ARE, CHRIST JESUS. 40:13 YOU CAN'T DO IT UNLESS YOU WALK. AND YOU HAVE TO WALK IN THE 40:17 SPIRIT AND NOT INTHE FLESH. >> I'M GOING TO READ THIS FROM 40:22 [ INAUDIBLE ]. WHILE -- WHILE ENGAGED IN OUR 40:25 DAILY WORK, WE SHOULD LIFT THE SOUL TO HEAVEN IN PRAYER. 40:29 THESE SILENT PETITIONS RISE LIKE INFANTS BEFORE THE THROWN OF 40:32 GRACE, AND THE ENEMY IS BAFFLED. THE CHRISTIAN WHOSE HEART IS 40:38 THUS STAYED UPON GOD CANNOT BE OVERCOME. 40:41 ALL OF THE PROMISES OF GOD'S WORD, ALL OF THE POWER OF DIVINE 40:46 GRACE, ALL OF THE RESOURCES OF JEHOVAH ARE PLEDGED. 40:55 IT IS THUS THAT ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD. 40:57 AND GOD WAS WITH HIM IN EVERY TIME OF NEED. 41:01 >> THAT'S POWERFUL. >> HERE IS ANOTHER QUESTION THAT 41:04 KIND OF GOES ALONG THE SAME LINE. 41:09 WHEN WILL WE BE PERFECTED? WE ANSWERED THAT IN A NUMBER OF 41:14 WAYS, BUT RYAN YOU TALKED ASHE THAT IN EXPLAINING THE WORD 41:19 TRANSLATE. GO BACK TO THAT. 41:20 >> YEAH, LET ME TAKE YOU TO THAT PARTICULAR VERSE. 41:24 I KNOW SOMETIMES AS WE'RE PUT ON THE SPOT HERE, WE WILL QUOTE 41:29 SCRIPTURE WITHOUT GIVING A REFERENCE. 41:32 THIS IS 1 CORINTHIANS 15, SHOULD BE AROUND 53 -- YEAH, HERE IT IS 41:41 51. BEHOLD I TELL YOU A MYSTERY, WE 41:45 SHALL ALL BE CHANGED IN THE MOMENT OF THE TWINKLING OF AN 41:50 EYE AT THE LAST TRUMP. FOR THE TRUMP WILL SOUND, AND 41:53 THE DEAD WILL BE RAISED, HERE IT IS -- INCORRUPTIBLE. 42:01 WE SHALL BE CHANGED, THIS MORE TALL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY, SO 42:09 WHEN THIS [ INAUDIBLE ] THEN SHALL BE BROUGHT TO PASS THE 42:12 SAYING THAT IS WRITTEN, DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY. 42:18 SIN BRINGS DEATH. WE CAN ONLY SAY THAT AT THE LAST 42:22 TRUMP WHEN CHRIST HAS COME. WE ARE ON A PATH TO PERFECTION. 42:28 WE WANT TO BE PERFECT IN CHRIST AS CHRIST IS MOLDING US INTO 42:33 THOSE BEAUTIFUL VESSELS OF HONOR, PREPARED FOR THE KINGDOM 42:37 OF GOD. BUT THAT ULTIMATE PERFECTION IS 42:41 GOING TO HAPPEN AT THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS. 42:45 >> LET ME THROW THIS OUT THERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 42:49 I LIKE THAT. ADDRESS THE ISSUE THAT SOME 42:52 PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING WITH. THE LINE OF QUESTIONS, HOW CAN 42:56 BE SAVED? HOW CAN I OVERCOME SIN? 43:00 THEY ARE FALLING IN THE SAME CATEGORY, BUT EACH QUESTION IS 43:05 VERY VITAL AND IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS PERFECTION IDEA, SOME 43:09 PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR SALVATION. 43:14 AND I WANT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE 43:18 FEARFUL OF YOUR SALVATION. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE WALKING 43:22 ALMOST LIKE A PERSON ON GLASS THAT IS JUST ABOUT TO BREAK AND 43:25 YOU ARE AT 10,000 FEET. BECAUSE THE PERFECT LOVE OF GOD 43:32 CAPS THAT FEAR. >> FIRST OF ALL, I REMEMBER THAT 43:36 I WAS QUOTING 2 CORINTHIANS 3:18. 43:48 IT'S FROM ONE LEVEL OF HIS CHARACTER TO THE NEXT. 43:52 JUST AS BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD. 43:54 AND I'M PRAYING THAT AND THANKING GOD THAT HE'S TAKING ME 44:01 BY HIS SPIRT, AND SUDDENLY I BEGAN TO WEEP AND SAID LORD, I 44:07 DON'T FEEL LIKE I AM GROWING LIKE I SHOULD BE. 44:11 BOTTOM LINE, HE GAVE ME A PICTURE IN MY MIND, I SAW MYSELF 44:16 RUNNING ON THESE HUGE STEPS, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN AS I'M 44:21 RUNNING -- I'M 6 FEET TALL, THESE STEPS WERE PROBABLY 60 44:27 FEET TALL, I'M LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER, AND I RAN INTO A STEP. 44:32 AND I SAID LORD WHAT IS IT? AND THE LORD SAID, I WILL SOON 44:37 SHOW YOU THE WALL THAT YOU ARE HITTING. 44:39 AND I THOUGHT THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FELT, LIKE I WAS HITTING A 44:44 WALL IN MY GROWTH. AND THE BOTTOM LINE WAS, A FEW 44:48 WEEKS LATER, AS I'M TRULY -SEEKING HIM, HE TOLD ME THAT THE WALL THAT I WAS HITTING WAS A 44:55 WALL OF SELF PRESERVATION. ISN'T THAT POWERFUL? 45:01 >> RIGHT. >> YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GIVE -pUP -- IF WE WANT GOD TO TAKE HIM 45:06 FROM ONE LEVEL OF HIS GLORY TO THE NEXT, WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO 45:10 GIVE UP JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE. BUT IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT 45:14 YOUR SALVATION, LITEN TO THIS. JOHN WRITES HE -- EXCUSE ME -- 1 45:21 JOHN 5, AND I'LL BEGIN WITH VERSE 10. 45:25 HE WHO BELIEVES IN THE SON OF GOD HAS THE WITNESS IN HIMSELF. 45:30 HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE GOD HAS MADE HIM A LIAR BECAUSE HE HAS 45:37 NOT BELIEVED THE TESTIMONY THAT GOD HAS GIVEN OF HIS SON. 45:41 AND THIS IS THE TESTIMONY, THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE 45:48 AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. HE WHO HAS THE SON HAS LIFE. 45:54 HE WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE SON DOES NOT HAVE LIFE. 45:57 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> IF YOU ARE SAYING TO THE LORD 46:04 I NEED YOU, I WANT YOU, HELP ME TO WALK, FILL ME WITH YOUR HOLY 46:11 SPIRIT, LORD HELP ME TO KEEP MY EYES FOCUSED ON YOU, TRANSFORM 46:16 ME FROM ONE IMAGE TO THE NEXT. IF YOU ARE COMMITTING YOURSELF 46:21 YOURSELF TO THE LORD, YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. 46:24 YOU MAY NOT BE PERFECT. IT MAY BE THAT LITTLE BITTY 46:32 BLADE, BUT HE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW YOU, AND IF YOU THINK THAT 46:37 YOU HAVE BEEN WALKING WITH THE LORD FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS, AND 46:41 YOU DON'T HAVE SALVATION, [ INAUDIBLE ] SAYS YOU ARE 46:47 CALLING GOD A LIAR. BECAUSE HE IS SAYING IF WE HAVE 46:50 THE SON, WE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 46:55 OKAY. ANYONE ELSE? 46:57 RYAN? >> THERE ARE OFTENTIMES I 47:00 MYSELF -- I'M VERY HARD ON MYSELF. 47:03 I BEAT MYSELF UP SOMETIMES. THINKING LORD, WHY DO I DO THE 47:07 THINGS I SHOULDN'T DO, OR SAY THE THINGS I SHOULDN'T SAY. 47:12 AND I CAN SEE WHY SOME PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE THAT MENTALITY THAT I 47:16 CAN'T BE PERFECT.-WE TAKE THAT SCRIPTURE WHERE CHRIST SAYS AT THE END OF 47:22 CHAPTER 6, BE THERE -- CHAPTER 5 BE PERFECT AS YOUR FATHER IN 47:30 HEAVEN IS PERFECT. I BELIEVE I'LL SEE PAUL IN THE 47:35 KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. I BELIEVE THAT WHILE PAUL WAS 47:40 NOT A PERFECT MAN, HE DID STRUGGLE WITH THE SAME THINGS 47:44 THAT WE STRUGGLE WITH, AND THE FAMOUS TEXT FROM PAUL ROMANS 7, 47:50 HE SAYS FOR I KNOW THAT IN ME NOTHING GOOD DWELLS FOR 47:57 [ INAUDIBLE ] FOR TO WILL IS PRESENT WITH ME, BUT HOW TO 48:00 PERFORM WHAT IS GOOD, I DO NOT FIND. 48:02 HE SAYS FOR THE GOOD THAT I WILL TO DO, I DO NOT DO, BUT THE EVIL 48:07 I WILL NOT TO DO, THAT I PRACTICE, SO HE IS LIKE, MAN, 48:12 MAN THE THINGS THAT I SHOULDN'T DO, I DO. 48:16 AND THE THINGS I SHOULD I DON'T DO. 48:18 AND THEN HE SAYS A RETCHED MAN THAT I AM, WHO WILL DELIVER ME 48:25 FROM THE BODY OF DEATH? WHO IS GOING TO DELIVER ME FROM 48:29 THIS IMPERFECTION. AND HE SAIDS I THANK GOD THROUGH 48:38 CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD, AND VERSE 8 IT SAYS THERE IS NO 48:43 CONDEMNATION TO THOSE WO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO GO NOT WALK 48:48 ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, BUT ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT. 48:53 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND THIS IS A WALK. 48:56 THIS IS A STEP BY STEP -- YOU KNOW -- THIS WHOLE LIFE IS GOING 49:00 TO BE A SANCTIFICATION PROCESS. I LOVE THAT SCRIPTURE THAT YOU 49:06 QUOTED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, IN POR -- PROVERBS, A RIGHTEOUS 49:22 MAN MAY FALL SEVEN TIMES. SO GOD'S PEOPLE ARE GOING TO 49:27 FALL. BUT WHAT SEPARATES THE COMMITTED 49:30 CHRISTIAN FROM AN UNCOMMITTED SO-CALLED CHRISTIAN, IS THAT 49:35 PERSON DOESN'T STAY DOWN, THEY GET BACK UP AND KEEP PRESSING 49:39 FORWARD. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 49:40 THE MAN WHO IS BEATEN UP, THAT REPRESENTS US AND THE LORD CAME 49:45 AND HEALED US. PASTOR DINZEY ANYTHING YOU WANT -pTO ADD? 49:50 >> THOSE WERE THE SAME SCRIPTURES I WAS GOING TO READ. 49:54 BUT IT'S A MARVELOUS THING TO GO FROM THE POINT OF THIS FEAR, I'M 49:59 NOT GOING TO BE SAVED. BECAUSE WE LOOK AT OUR LIVES AND 50:04 SEE WE FAILED ALONG THE WAY. AND I'M REMEMBERING SOMETHING 50:08 THAT SISTER SHELLEY QUOTED, MY LITTLE CHILDREN, THESE THINGS I 50:12 WRITE UNTO YOU, AND IF ANY MAN SINS, WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE WITH 50:19 THE FATHER JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HE IS THE 50:23 [ INAUDIBLE ] FOR OUR SINS, AND NOT FOR OURS ONLY BUT FOR THE 50:27 SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 50:29 >> SO ALL OF THIS -- WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, IT SAYS, 50:33 THIS -- WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS SURRENDER OUR WILL TO THE LORD. 50:39 AND THIS IS WHY PAUL SAYS I DIE DAILY. 50:42 AND JESUS SAID IF ANY MAN WHO COME AFTER ME, LET HIM DENY 50:50 HIMSELF PICK UP HIS CROSS AND FOLLOW ME. 50:52 IT'S A CHOICE TO SURRENDER OURSELVES TO THE LORD, AND 50:57 FOLLOW JESUS. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 51:01 >> AND FOR WE AS LOOKING INTO GLASS ARE CHANGED FROM GLORY TO 51:05 GLORY, EVEN BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD. 51:08 THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WORKING IN US AS WE ARE FOLLOWING HIM AND 51:14 LEARNING OF HIM. A WORK IS BEING DONE THAT WE MAY 51:18 NOT PERCEIVE, BUT YOU SAY I REMEMBER I USED TO DO THIS EVIL 51:23 THING. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 51:24 >> AND YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SEE THAT GOD HAS HELPED ME. 51:29 I DON'T SWEAR AS MUCH AS I USED TO. 51:34 YOU KNOW. YOU PLACE YOURSELF IN THE HANDS 51:36 OF THE LORD. >> AMEN. 51:40 >> ISAIAH [ INAUDIBLE ] BEFORE THE LORD, AND JEREMIAH 23:6, 51:48 RIGHTEOUSNESS HAS ALWAYS BEEN BY FAITH. 51:50 >> ALWAYS. >> HERE IS THE PROMISE I WANT TO 51:53 GIVE YOU, MICAH 7:8, MICAH 7:8 SAYS DO NOT REJOICE OVER ME MY 52:01 ENEMY WHEN I FALL, I WILL RISE. WHEN I SIT IN DARKNESS, THE LORD 52:07 WILL BE THE LIGHT TO ME. I HAVE SINNED AGAINST HIM. 52:10 AND UNTIL HE PLEADS MY CASE -- >> AMEN. 52:15 >> -- AS OUR ADVOCATE, AND EXECUTES JUSTICE FOR ME, HE WILL 52:21 BRING ME FORTH TO THE LIGHT. AND WHO IS A GOD LIKE YOU. 52:31 PARDONING INIQUITY AND PASSING OVER THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE 52:36 REMANENT OF HIS HERITAGE. HE DOES NOT MAINTAIN HIS ANGER 52:41 FOREVER, BECAUSE HE DELIGHTS IN MERCY. 52:45 HE WILL HAVE PASSION ON US. HE WILL CAST ALL OF OUR SINS 52:48 INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 52:52 PRAISE GOD. AND SINCE I'M A PAR OF THE 52:56 PANEL, LET ME ADD A LITTLE PIECE TO THIS. 52:59 IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PASSAGE. AND MY FAVORITE PASSAGE USED TO 53:04 BE ROMANS 13 [ INAUDIBLE ]. I SAY FORGET MY NAME, READ THE 53:11 SCRIPTURE, BUT HERE IS THE PASSAGE. 53:13 I WANT TO ADD HE PUTS OUT A NO FISHING SIGN. 53:19 >> AMEN. >> 1 JOHN 3:1. 53:23 THE FATHER HAS BEDESTROYED ON US THAT WE SHOULD BE CALLED 53:28 CHILDREN OF GOD. AND THEN VERSE 2, BELOVED NOW WE 53:32 ARE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND THIS IS THE PART WHERE PEOPLE ARE 53:36 WORRIED, HOW IS IT GOING TO TURN OUT? 53:39 AND IT HAS NOT YET BEEN REVEALED WHAT WE SHALL BE. 53:43 WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK LIKE. 53:48 BUT WE KNOW -- BUT WE KNOW -- THOSE ARE MY THREE 53:54 WORDS -- THAT WHEN HE IS REVEALED, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM. 53:59 CAN I GET AN AMEN. >> AMEN. 54:02 >> AMEN. >> FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE 54:05 IS. BUT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN JUST BY 54:09 US SITTING STILL AND DOING NOTHING. 54:11 THERE IS A PART THAT WE MUST PLAY. 54:14 AND EVERYONE WHO HAS THIS HOPE IN HIM, PURIFIES HIMSELF EVEN 54:18 JUST AS HE IS PURE. WE HAVE TO MAKE PURE CHOICES. 54:23 BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT IT IS HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, NOT OURS. 54:28 IT'S THE WORK THAT HE BEGAN, THAT HE IS GOING TO FINISH, BUT 54:33 WE CANNOT MAKE BAD CHOICES AND EXPECT TO HAVE GOOD RESULTS. 54:37 >> THIS COMES FROM JEREMIAH 32. I TALKED ABOUT THE EVERY-LASTING 54:46 COVENANT. LISTEN TO GOD'S HEART. 54:49 THIS IS JEREMIAH 32:40, I WILL MAKE AN EVERY-LASTING COVENANT 54:56 HAVE -- WITH THEM. YES, I WILL REJOICE OVER THEM TO 55:06 DO GOOD, AND I WILL ASSUREDLY PLANT THEM IN THIS LAND. 55:11 I WILL REJOICE OVER THEM TO DO GOOD WITH ALL OF MY HEART AND 55:15 WITH ALL OF MY SOUL. >> PRAISE GOD. 55:18 >> WOW. >> HUGE. 55:20 >> THANK YOU FOR THAT PASSAGE. >> AND JESUS -- IN ENCOURAGING 55:25 HIS DISCIPLES IN THAT JOHN 10 PASSAGE HE MADE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL 55:34 STATEMENT, HE SAYS? JOHN 10:28 AND 29, AND I GIVE 55:39 THEM ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEY SHALL NEVER PARISH. 55:44 NEITHER SHALL ANYONE SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY HAND. 55:47 NOBODY CAN TAKE YOU OUT OF GOD'S HAND BUT YOU. 55:49 >> AMEN. >> MY FATHER WHO HAS GIVEN THEM 55:53 TO ME IS GREATER THAN ALL, AND NO ONE IS ABLE TO SNATCH THEM 55:57 OUT OF MY HAND. AND HE HAS GIVEN US ETERNAL 56:02 LIFE. AND SO MANY QUESTIONS ARE AROUND 56:06 SIN, CAN I BE PERFECTED? WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME? 56:10 WE HAVE TO LIVE OUR LIVES WITH THE BLESSED ASSURANCE THAT IF WE 56:15 CONFESS OUR SINS HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE. 56:18 AND THANK YOU, PANEL, YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB. 56:21 AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE ALL IN SOME SENSE LITTLE THEOLOGIANS, BUT WE 56:28 ARE CONTINUALLY LEARNING, AND WHAT THIS PROGRAM TEACHES US IS 56:34 THERE IS SO MUCH WE KNOW, BUT THERE'S SO MUCH MORE THAN WE 56:39 NEED -- >> AMEN. 56:42 >> THANK YOU PASTOR RYAN DAY. SHELLEY, LOVE YOU. 56:45 >> LOVE YOU. >> LIKE YOUR DEDICATION TO THE 56:48 WORD OF GOD, AND SHE HAS MANY BOOKS YOU CAN GET HERE AT 3ABN. 56:55 PASTOR JOHN DINZEY THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. 57:03 MAY YOU KNOW GOD AND MAY HE BLESS YOU CONTINUALLY. 57:07 >> AMEN. ♪ |
