I'm not asking you to be Christ,
00:00:01.06\00:00:02.53
I'm asking you to put on Christ.
00:00:02.56\00:00:04.58
Amen.
00:00:04.61\00:00:05.66
I was trying to do
it myself in human flesh
00:00:05.69\00:00:08.54
with some help from God,
00:00:08.57\00:00:10.02
make me strong
enough and finally God said
00:00:10.05\00:00:13.99
there is only ever
been one human being
00:00:14.02\00:00:16.09
who was strong
enough and it ain't you.
00:00:16.12\00:00:19.38
Amen. It's the
Lord Jesus Christ.
00:00:19.41\00:00:22.73
Amen.
00:00:22.76\00:00:23.79
And the good news is remember
00:00:23.82\00:00:25.14
that God has
accepted Jesus as we.
00:00:25.17\00:00:31.70
What's happened to Jesus,
00:00:31.73\00:00:34.30
God considers that
it's happened to me.
00:00:34.33\00:00:37.32
It's my privilege every
day to come to the cross
00:00:37.35\00:00:41.78
and ask God to bring
the living Christ into me.
00:00:41.81\00:00:46.19
Amen.
00:00:46.22\00:00:47.25
So that I will
not be begging God
00:00:47.28\00:00:49.35
to make me strong enough,
00:00:49.38\00:00:51.68
but I'll be
taking hold of the one
00:00:51.71\00:00:53.72
who was strong enough.
00:00:53.75\00:00:57.41
That's such a mediocre response,
00:00:57.44\00:00:59.23
I can hardly handle it out.
00:00:59.26\00:01:00.99
I'll have to have a
drink to sustain myself.
00:01:01.02\00:01:04.82
Wow. Amen.
00:01:04.85\00:01:06.36
Don't wave at
me because you know
00:01:10.29\00:01:11.74
I'm gonna repeat
that statement again.
00:01:11.77\00:01:15.43
Don't wave at
me because you know
00:01:15.46\00:01:17.17
I'm gonna repeat that statement.
00:01:17.20\00:01:19.11
I hope you're not
digging the same hole
00:01:23.24\00:01:25.39
that I tried to
dig for 20 years.
00:01:25.42\00:01:28.42
God make me strong
enough, please, I'm so weak,
00:01:28.45\00:01:31.47
help me not to
do the same things
00:01:31.50\00:01:33.39
over and over again,
give me the strength.
00:01:33.42\00:01:37.47
And I found myself
being rebuked by God.
00:01:37.50\00:01:40.59
I'm not asking you to be Christ.
00:01:40.62\00:01:43.65
There's only one
person, human being
00:01:43.68\00:01:47.20
who was ever strong
enough to win the struggle
00:01:47.23\00:01:50.03
and it ain't you.
00:01:50.06\00:01:53.97
It does keep you-- Kay,
00:01:54.00\00:01:55.45
it does focus
on yourself exactly
00:01:55.48\00:01:57.93
and that's a hopeless focus.
00:01:57.96\00:02:00.17
I can't afford to take my
eyes off Christ for one minute
00:02:00.20\00:02:03.59
because they
drop back on to myself
00:02:03.62\00:02:05.53
and all of a
sudden I find myself back
00:02:05.56\00:02:07.59
in the same old struggle again.
00:02:07.62\00:02:09.42
Absolutely.
00:02:09.45\00:02:10.49
Oh, God, make me strong
enough, give me the strength.
00:02:10.52\00:02:14.76
Instead of
looking at the one person
00:02:14.79\00:02:16.97
in human flesh who
actually made it possible.
00:02:17.00\00:02:21.39
He's already fought this
fight, He's won this battle.
00:02:21.42\00:02:25.08
He is offering to indwell us,
00:02:25.11\00:02:28.68
so that His
mind can now be ours.
00:02:28.71\00:02:32.27
Amen. What a privilege that is.
00:02:32.30\00:02:34.72
We are about to
pick up that theme,
00:02:34.75\00:02:36.34
but I'm just
wanting to make sure.
00:02:36.37\00:02:37.88
Anyone sitting
out there on something
00:02:37.91\00:02:39.54
that hasn't come through yet.
00:02:39.57\00:02:41.27
Joyce, yes, microphone please.
00:02:41.30\00:02:45.16
I'm reading from Hebrews 9:14,
00:02:45.19\00:02:48.71
"How much more
shall the blood of Christ,
00:02:48.74\00:02:51.32
who through the eternal Spirit
00:02:51.35\00:02:53.16
offered himself
without spot to God,
00:02:53.19\00:02:56.18
cleanse your
conscience from dead works
00:02:56.21\00:02:59.07
to serve the living God."
00:02:59.10\00:03:00.93
Wow. Amen.
00:03:00.96\00:03:02.02
Thank you very much, Joyce.
00:03:02.05\00:03:03.64
So you can actually
have a clean conscience.
00:03:03.67\00:03:06.86
Amen.
00:03:06.89\00:03:08.22
The blood of Jesus has
cleansed our consciences.
00:03:08.25\00:03:11.85
Our sins of the
past are past. Amen.
00:03:11.88\00:03:16.59
I read a sign on the
church once and it said,
00:03:16.62\00:03:20.05
"When the devil
reminds you of your past,
00:03:20.08\00:03:23.85
remind him of his future."
00:03:23.88\00:03:25.84
Amen.
00:03:25.87\00:03:28.48
Because your past has
been placed on Jesus Christ.
00:03:28.51\00:03:34.17
Amen.
00:03:34.20\00:03:36.07
I can't believe we run
out of time again, please.
00:03:36.10\00:03:38.95
One good one.
00:03:38.98\00:03:40.01
Let's hear one good
one before we finish, yes.
00:03:40.04\00:03:43.45
It's Hebrews 9:7.
00:03:43.48\00:03:45.84
Hebrews 9:7. Kay,
jump in quickly please.
00:03:45.87\00:03:49.41
"But into the second,
00:03:49.44\00:03:50.70
only the high
priest enters once a year,
00:03:50.73\00:03:52.61
not without taking blood,
00:03:52.64\00:03:53.97
which he offers for
himself and for the sins
00:03:54.00\00:03:56.86
the people
committed in ignorance."
00:03:56.89\00:03:59.48
So all those sins
that we didn't know
00:03:59.51\00:04:01.75
we committed that
you worry about---
00:04:01.78\00:04:05.06
Sins of ignorance.
Sins in the ignorance.
00:04:05.09\00:04:07.96
Sins of ignorance.
They are all taking care of.
00:04:07.99\00:04:10.63
Are pardoned, yes
indeed. That's huge.
00:04:10.66\00:04:14.21
And we have that
in the Old Testament,
00:04:14.24\00:04:15.96
there was a special sacrifice
00:04:15.99\00:04:17.91
the sins of
ignorance, yes indeed.
00:04:17.94\00:04:20.75
God has been far more
gracious than we realize.
00:04:20.78\00:04:23.80
Amen.
00:04:23.83\00:04:26.02
Oh, but
unfortunately the time keepers
00:04:26.05\00:04:28.48
are once again sending
very serious messages to us.
00:04:28.51\00:04:35.63
Okay, so let's bow our
heads together as we conclude.
00:04:35.66\00:04:39.76
Kay, you got the mike,
00:04:39.79\00:04:40.82
would you go ahead
and close in prayer?
00:04:40.85\00:04:42.28
Thank you.
00:04:42.31\00:04:43.35
Father, what a glorious
lesson we just been with you,
00:04:43.38\00:04:47.66
in your word Father
how good does it get.
00:04:47.69\00:04:51.16
I just ask that you
would so send the Holy Spirit
00:04:51.19\00:04:54.05
to seal these
truths into our minds
00:04:54.08\00:04:56.70
that we might so live in
You that others can see You
00:04:56.73\00:05:01.33
and we can finish this work
and go home and be with You,
00:05:01.36\00:05:05.07
with Your
children and we'll give You
00:05:05.10\00:05:07.01
all the praise and
honor and glory, amen.
00:05:07.04\00:05:10.28
Amen. Amen.
00:05:10.31\00:05:12.23
Thank you very much.
