00:00:12.769 --> 00:00:14.237
Explaining the word to you,

And helps you to digest what
00:00:17.207 --> 00:00:19.142
He's saying at the same
00:00:19.142 --> 00:00:20.176

00:00:26.649 --> 00:00:29.119
>> welcome to our monday's
00:00:29.185 --> 00:00:30.720
Gospel truth broadcast. i tell
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:32.956
You this is going to be an
00:00:32.956 --> 00:00:34.524
Awesome day. i've got a brand
00:00:34.524 --> 00:00:37.060
New series that i'm going to
00:00:37.060 --> 00:00:38.995
Start teaching on. something i
00:00:38.995 --> 00:00:40.363
Mention often. i mention this
00:00:40.363 --> 00:00:42.765
Probably as much as anything
00:00:42.765 --> 00:00:44.134
Else, but i haven't ever had a
00:00:44.134 --> 00:00:45.535
Teaching that is just
00:00:45.535 --> 00:00:46.803
Specifically on this subject.
00:00:46.803 --> 00:00:48.872
And let me just say, as a tease,
00:00:48.872 --> 00:00:51.975
This will bother some people,
00:00:51.975 --> 00:00:54.477
It'll bless others, but i am
00:00:54.477 --> 00:00:56.246
Going to be teaching against
00:00:56.246 --> 00:00:57.881
What i consider to be the worst
00:00:57.881 --> 00:01:00.683
Doctrine in the body of christ
00:01:00.683 --> 00:01:02.485
Today. the most damaging thing.
00:01:02.485 --> 00:01:04.320
Something that has its origins
00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:06.890
In the pits of hell, and yet it
00:01:06.890 --> 00:01:08.725
Is really popular among
00:01:08.725 --> 00:01:11.794
Believers today. and what i'm
00:01:11.794 --> 00:01:13.696
Going to be doing is teaching
00:01:13.696 --> 00:01:15.398
Against a wrong sovereignty of
00:01:15.398 --> 00:01:18.501
God. and just a couple of months
00:01:18.501 --> 00:01:20.904
Ago, i just sat down, and i
00:01:20.904 --> 00:01:22.772
Ment... like i said, i mention
00:01:22.772 --> 00:01:24.007
This a lot, but i haven't ever
00:01:24.007 --> 00:01:25.475
Just had a product that talks
00:01:25.475 --> 00:01:27.443
Specifically about the
00:01:27.443 --> 00:01:29.612
Sovereignty of god. and so i sat
00:01:29.612 --> 00:01:31.548
Down and wrote this over about a
00:01:31.548 --> 00:01:33.583
Week's time. and this is just
00:01:33.583 --> 00:01:36.119
About a 50 page little summary
00:01:36.119 --> 00:01:39.055
Of this entitled, the
00:01:39.055 --> 00:01:40.490
Sovereignty of god. and so i've
00:01:40.490 --> 00:01:42.525
Got that little booklet. of
00:01:42.525 --> 00:01:44.360
Course, we got cds and dvds that
00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:46.362
Will be taken from the tv,
00:01:46.362 --> 00:01:47.864
And then we have a usb
00:01:47.864 --> 00:01:49.199
That has both the audio
00:01:49.199 --> 00:01:50.900
And the video on there.
00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:52.902
And i know that when i
00:01:52.969 --> 00:01:54.871
And i know that when i say that this is, in my
00:01:54.938 --> 00:01:56.706
Say that this is, in my estimation, the worst doctrine
00:01:56.773 --> 00:01:59.409
Estimation, the worst doctrine in the body of christ today,
00:01:59.475 --> 00:02:00.877
In the body of christ today, this just shocks a lot of people
00:02:00.944 --> 00:02:02.712
This just shocks a lot of people because people just say that god
00:02:02.779 --> 00:02:05.014
Because people just say that god is sovereign. you know, the niv
00:02:05.081 --> 00:02:07.617
Is sovereign. you know, the niv translation, it took the term
00:02:07.684 --> 00:02:11.654
Translation, it took the term god almighty, lord god almighty,
00:02:11.721 --> 00:02:14.190
God almighty, lord god almighty, all of these different
00:02:14.257 --> 00:02:15.124
All of these different variations of that in the old
00:02:15.191 --> 00:02:16.926
Variations of that in the old covenant, and it translated, i
00:02:16.993 --> 00:02:19.195
Covenant, and it translated, i think, over 300 times in the
00:02:19.262 --> 00:02:21.464
Think, over 300 times in the bible our... as sovereign lord.
00:02:21.531 --> 00:02:24.300
Bible our... as sovereign lord. and so the niv kind of
00:02:24.367 --> 00:02:26.336
And so the niv kind of popularized this term,
00:02:26.402 --> 00:02:28.137
Popularized this term, sovereign. and let me just say
00:02:28.204 --> 00:02:30.206
Sovereign. and let me just say upfront that if you are going to
00:02:30.273 --> 00:02:32.075
Upfront that if you are going to define sovereign the way
00:02:32.141 --> 00:02:34.010
Define sovereign the way the dictionary defines it,
00:02:34.077 --> 00:02:35.411
Here's what the dictionary
00:02:35.478 --> 00:02:36.579
Here's what the dictionary says. that a sovereign
00:02:36.646 --> 00:02:38.214
Says. that a sovereign is a supreme ruler, monarch,
00:02:38.281 --> 00:02:41.217
Is a supreme ruler, monarch, or first in order or rank.
00:02:41.284 --> 00:02:43.786
Now, if you're going to
00:02:43.853 --> 00:02:45.288
Now, if you're going to say that god is sovereign in the
00:02:45.355 --> 00:02:46.956
Say that god is sovereign in the sense that he is almighty and
00:02:47.023 --> 00:02:49.259
Sense that he is almighty and that he is a ruler, and that he,
00:02:49.325 --> 00:02:51.995
That he is a ruler, and that he, you know, first in order or
00:02:52.061 --> 00:02:53.696
You know, first in order or rank, that he's the top of the
00:02:53.763 --> 00:02:55.565
Rank, that he's the top of the food chain, that nobody tells
00:02:55.632 --> 00:02:57.533
Food chain, that nobody tells god what to do, well then, i
00:02:57.600 --> 00:02:59.836
God what to do, well then, i agree with that 100%. so i am
00:02:59.902 --> 00:03:02.205
Agree with that 100%. so i am not against the sovereignty of
00:03:02.272 --> 00:03:04.274
Not against the sovereignty of god, but i'm against the
00:03:04.340 --> 00:03:06.109
God, but i'm against the religious definition of the
00:03:06.175 --> 00:03:08.778
Religious definition of the sovereignty of god. and what
00:03:08.845 --> 00:03:10.847
Sovereignty of god. and what religion has defined this as is
00:03:10.913 --> 00:03:13.750
Religion has defined this as is that god controls everything.
00:03:13.816 --> 00:03:16.319
That god controls everything. god either originates everything
00:03:16.386 --> 00:03:19.255
God either originates everything or he controls everything. i
00:03:19.322 --> 00:03:22.458
Or he controls everything. i even heard one man say that
00:03:22.525 --> 00:03:24.961
Even heard one man say that satan is like a dog on a leash,
00:03:25.028 --> 00:03:27.463
Satan is like a dog on a leash, and he can go... only go as far
00:03:27.530 --> 00:03:29.565
And he can go... only go as far as god allows him to go. so even
00:03:29.632 --> 00:03:32.302
As god allows him to go. so even if something isn't a direct
00:03:32.368 --> 00:03:34.170
If something isn't a direct attack of the devil, there are
00:03:34.237 --> 00:03:36.406
Attack of the devil, there are people teaching that god, that
00:03:36.472 --> 00:03:38.374
People teaching that god, that couldn't happen unless god
00:03:38.441 --> 00:03:39.642
Couldn't happen unless god allowed it. so they believe that
00:03:39.709 --> 00:03:41.577
Allowed it. so they believe that god controls every single thing
00:03:41.644 --> 00:03:45.148
God controls every single thing that happens in your life. and i
00:03:45.214 --> 00:03:47.717
That happens in your life. and i am 1,000% in disagreement with
00:03:47.784 --> 00:03:51.921
Am 1,000% in disagreement with that. i'm in disagreement with
00:03:51.988 --> 00:03:53.890
That. i'm in disagreement with it because the word is in
00:03:53.956 --> 00:03:54.957
It because the word is in disagreement with it. that is
00:03:55.024 --> 00:03:56.726
Disagreement with it. that is not what the word of god
00:03:56.793 --> 00:03:57.960
Not what the word of god teaches. and i'm going to be
00:03:58.027 --> 00:03:59.495
Teaches. and i'm going to be sharing things with you that if
00:03:59.562 --> 00:04:01.130
Sharing things with you that if you will listen to this, i
00:04:01.197 --> 00:04:02.999
You will listen to this, i guarantee you it will change the
00:04:03.066 --> 00:04:05.368
Guarantee you it will change the way you think if you're one that
00:04:05.435 --> 00:04:07.303
Way you think if you're one that thinks that god just sovereignly
00:04:07.370 --> 00:04:09.539
Thinks that god just sovereignly controls every single thing that
00:04:09.605 --> 00:04:11.574
Controls every single thing that happens. if you really believe
00:04:11.641 --> 00:04:14.243
Happens. if you really believe that, it really takes away all
00:04:14.310 --> 00:04:16.913
That, it really takes away all incentive for seeking the lord,
00:04:16.979 --> 00:04:19.215
Incentive for seeking the lord, for doing anything. what's the
00:04:19.282 --> 00:04:20.483
For doing anything. what's the purpose in anything because
00:04:20.550 --> 00:04:21.718
Purpose in anything because whatever happens, god allows it.
00:04:21.784 --> 00:04:24.120
Whatever happens, god allows it. god either wills it or god
00:04:24.187 --> 00:04:26.155
God either wills it or god allows it. that is not what the
00:04:26.222 --> 00:04:28.124
Allows it. that is not what the word of god teaches. and i'm
00:04:28.191 --> 00:04:29.659
Word of god teaches. and i'm going to be using dozens and
00:04:29.726 --> 00:04:31.828
Going to be using dozens and dozens and dozens of scriptures
00:04:31.894 --> 00:04:34.063
Dozens and dozens of scriptures that will, i believe, prove this
00:04:34.130 --> 00:04:36.399
That will, i believe, prove this to you. let me just start. in
00:04:36.466 --> 00:04:38.034
To you. let me just start. in james, chapter 4, and verse 7,
00:04:38.101 --> 00:04:42.071
James, chapter 4, and verse 7, i'll be using this verse a lot
00:04:42.138 --> 00:04:43.906
I'll be using this verse a lot as i go through this series
00:04:43.973 --> 00:04:45.174
As i go through this series because it's just one of the
00:04:45.241 --> 00:04:46.409
Because it's just one of the pivotal scriptures that really
00:04:46.476 --> 00:04:49.479
Pivotal scriptures that really speaks to us and... and gives us
00:04:49.545 --> 00:04:51.714
Speaks to us and... and gives us instruction about how we're
00:04:51.781 --> 00:04:53.082
Instruction about how we're supposed to deal with things. so
00:04:53.149 --> 00:04:55.685
In james, chapter 4, verse 7, it
00:04:55.752 --> 00:04:57.487
In james, chapter 4, verse 7, it says, submit yourselves
00:04:57.553 --> 00:04:58.821
Says, submit yourselves therefore to god. resist
00:04:58.888 --> 00:05:01.057
Therefore to god. resist the devil, and he will
00:05:01.124 --> 00:05:02.759
The devil, and he will flee from you. now that
00:05:02.825 --> 00:05:04.293
Just makes it very clear
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:05.762
Just makes it very clear that there are things that
00:05:05.828 --> 00:05:06.963
That there are things that are from god; you submit to
00:05:07.029 --> 00:05:09.031
Are from god; you submit to them, you yield to them. there
00:05:09.098 --> 00:05:11.768
Them, you yield to them. there are things that are from the
00:05:11.834 --> 00:05:13.269
Are things that are from the devil, and you resist them. the
00:05:13.336 --> 00:05:16.305
Devil, and you resist them. the word resist means to actively
00:05:16.372 --> 00:05:18.574
Word resist means to actively fight against. it isn't a
00:05:18.641 --> 00:05:20.843
Fight against. it isn't a passive word. it's a strong,
00:05:20.910 --> 00:05:22.578
Passive word. it's a strong, active word that there are
00:05:22.645 --> 00:05:24.647
Active word that there are things that from... are from
00:05:24.714 --> 00:05:26.115
Things that from... are from god; you submit to them. there
00:05:26.182 --> 00:05:27.517
God; you submit to them. there are things that are from the
00:05:27.583 --> 00:05:28.618
Are things that are from the devil, and you resist them. if
00:05:28.684 --> 00:05:31.187
Devil, and you resist them. if you really believe that god is
00:05:31.254 --> 00:05:33.122
You really believe that god is sovereign, if you define
00:05:33.189 --> 00:05:34.424
Sovereign, if you define sovereign in the sense that he
00:05:34.490 --> 00:05:36.559
Sovereign in the sense that he controls everything and that
00:05:36.626 --> 00:05:38.394
Controls everything and that nothing can happen to you
00:05:38.461 --> 00:05:40.363
Nothing can happen to you without it being god's will for
00:05:40.430 --> 00:05:42.465
Without it being god's will for it to happen, well then, for you
00:05:42.532 --> 00:05:44.000
It to happen, well then, for you to resist the devil, you would
00:05:44.066 --> 00:05:46.803
To resist the devil, you would be resisting god. that's not
00:05:46.869 --> 00:05:49.105
Be resisting god. that's not smart. i think everybody knows
00:05:49.172 --> 00:05:51.441
Smart. i think everybody knows that man, you don't want to
00:05:51.507 --> 00:05:52.442
That man, you don't want to resist god. god is almighty.
00:05:52.508 --> 00:05:54.911
Resist god. god is almighty. he's god, and you aren't, and
00:05:54.977 --> 00:05:56.879
He's god, and you aren't, and you need to learn to submit. but
00:05:56.946 --> 00:05:58.247
You need to learn to submit. but this verse makes it very clear
00:05:58.314 --> 00:05:59.682
This verse makes it very clear that there are certain things
00:05:59.749 --> 00:06:01.484
That there are certain things that are from god; you submit to
00:06:01.551 --> 00:06:04.053
That are from god; you submit to them. there are things that are
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:05.888
Them. there are things that are from the devil, and you resist
00:06:05.955 --> 00:06:08.558
From the devil, and you resist them, you actively fight against
00:06:08.624 --> 00:06:11.127
Them, you actively fight against them. if god controlled
00:06:11.194 --> 00:06:13.329
Them. if god controlled everything, if nothing could
00:06:13.396 --> 00:06:15.031
Everything, if nothing could happen to you without it passing
00:06:15.097 --> 00:06:16.933
Happen to you without it passing god's desk, and him, you know,
00:06:16.999 --> 00:06:19.469
God's desk, and him, you know, stamping approved on it, go
00:06:19.535 --> 00:06:21.103
Stamping approved on it, go ahead and do this. if that's the
00:06:21.170 --> 00:06:23.039
Ahead and do this. if that's the way that it was, well then you
00:06:23.105 --> 00:06:24.774
Way that it was, well then you would be resisting god when you
00:06:24.841 --> 00:06:27.844
Would be resisting god when you resist sickness, poverty,
00:06:27.910 --> 00:06:29.645
Resist sickness, poverty, disease, depression, grief,
00:06:29.712 --> 00:06:32.482
Disease, depression, grief, sorrow, suicide, on and on and
00:06:32.548 --> 00:06:34.517
Sorrow, suicide, on and on and on you could go. man, that...
00:06:34.584 --> 00:06:36.853
On you could go. man, that... that is just so obvious to me.
00:06:36.919 --> 00:06:39.288
That is just so obvious to me. and you know some people will
00:06:39.355 --> 00:06:41.591
And you know some people will sit here and say, well,
00:06:41.657 --> 00:06:42.859
Sit here and say, well, everything that happens is of
00:06:42.925 --> 00:06:44.427
Everything that happens is of god. but right here again in the
00:06:44.494 --> 00:06:46.195
God. but right here again in the context... just for time sake,
00:06:46.262 --> 00:06:47.930
Context... just for time sake, i'm skipping over some things.
00:06:47.997 --> 00:06:49.699
But in james, chapter 4, verse
00:06:49.765 --> 00:06:51.667
But in james, chapter 4, verse 1, it says, from whence come
00:06:51.734 --> 00:06:53.169
1, it says, from whence come wars and fightings among you?
00:06:53.236 --> 00:06:55.905
Wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of
00:06:55.972 --> 00:06:57.673
Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your
00:06:57.740 --> 00:06:59.442
Your lusts that war in your members? you lust, and have not:
00:06:59.509 --> 00:07:02.278
Members? you lust, and have not: you kill, and desire to have,
00:07:02.345 --> 00:07:04.447
You kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: you fight and
00:07:04.514 --> 00:07:06.582
And cannot obtain: you fight and war, yet you have not, because
00:07:06.649 --> 00:07:09.085
War, yet you have not, because you ask not. you ask, and
00:07:09.151 --> 00:07:10.786
You ask not. you ask, and receive not, because you ask
00:07:10.853 --> 00:07:12.355
Receive not, because you ask amiss, that you might consume it
00:07:12.421 --> 00:07:13.856
Amiss, that you might consume it upon your own lusts. again, if
00:07:13.923 --> 00:07:16.192
God is sovereign the way that
00:07:16.259 --> 00:07:17.860
God is sovereign the way that religion has defined sovereign,
00:07:17.927 --> 00:07:19.795
Religion has defined sovereign, that he just controls
00:07:19.862 --> 00:07:20.997
That he just controls everything, and whatever happens
00:07:21.063 --> 00:07:23.132
Everything, and whatever happens to you, it must be god's will.
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.769
To you, it must be god's will. then this scripture would be
00:07:26.836 --> 00:07:28.604
Then this scripture would be totally wrong. the... james is
00:07:28.671 --> 00:07:31.307
Totally wrong. the... james is writing right here and says,
00:07:31.374 --> 00:07:32.408
Writing right here and says, where do wars come from?
00:07:32.475 --> 00:07:34.176
Where do wars come from? according to the sovereignty of
00:07:34.243 --> 00:07:35.611
According to the sovereignty of god doctrine, you would have to
00:07:35.678 --> 00:07:36.646
God doctrine, you would have to say, well god's the one causes
00:07:36.712 --> 00:07:38.514
Say, well god's the one causes all of these wars. no, it says
00:07:38.581 --> 00:07:40.650
All of these wars. no, it says they come forth out of our lusts
00:07:40.716 --> 00:07:43.452
They come forth out of our lusts that war in our members. it is
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.756
That war in our members. it is not coming from god. there's a
00:07:46.822 --> 00:07:49.025
Not coming from god. there's a lot of people that when a person
00:07:49.091 --> 00:07:50.493
Lot of people that when a person dies, they'll just say well, it
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:51.928
Dies, they'll just say well, it must have been their time. they
00:07:51.994 --> 00:07:53.563
Must have been their time. they have this concept that god's got
00:07:53.629 --> 00:07:55.865
Have this concept that god's got a calendar in heaven.
00:07:55.932 --> 00:07:57.133
A calendar in heaven. everybody's name is on it, and
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:58.634
Everybody's name is on it, and he's got a date circled and then
00:07:58.701 --> 00:08:00.202
He's got a date circled and then that's your appointed time to
00:08:00.269 --> 00:08:01.637
That's your appointed time to die. that's not so. did you know
00:08:01.704 --> 00:08:04.307
Die. that's not so. did you know that even moses spoke
00:08:04.373 --> 00:08:05.675
In the 90th chapter of
00:08:05.741 --> 00:08:07.443
In the 90th chapter of the book of psalms, and
00:08:07.510 --> 00:08:09.545
The book of psalms, and he said that the days
00:08:09.612 --> 00:08:11.080
He said that the days of a man's life shall be
00:08:11.147 --> 00:08:12.748
Of a man's life shall be threescore years and ten. that's
00:08:12.815 --> 00:08:14.584
Threescore years and ten. that's 70 years. and if by reason of
00:08:14.650 --> 00:08:17.453
70 years. and if by reason of strength they be fourscore, 80
00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:19.555
Strength they be fourscore, 80 years, yet is that time spent in
00:08:19.622 --> 00:08:21.624
Years, yet is that time spent in labor and travail. so right
00:08:21.691 --> 00:08:23.459
There it shows you that god
00:08:23.526 --> 00:08:24.527
There it shows you that god doesn't have a date circled and
00:08:24.594 --> 00:08:26.028
Doesn't have a date circled and if this person dies, it was
00:08:26.095 --> 00:08:27.930
If this person dies, it was god's will that they die on that
00:08:27.997 --> 00:08:29.899
God's will that they die on that day because it says that god has
00:08:29.966 --> 00:08:31.701
Day because it says that god has allotted us 70 years. and if
00:08:31.767 --> 00:08:33.769
Allotted us 70 years. and if you're strong, you can push that
00:08:33.836 --> 00:08:35.438
You're strong, you can push that on to 80 years, and i believe
00:08:35.504 --> 00:08:37.773
On to 80 years, and i believe you can go beyond that. the very
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.342
You can go beyond that. the very person who wrote that was moses,
00:08:39.408 --> 00:08:41.744
And according to deuteronomy,
00:08:41.811 --> 00:08:43.312
And according to deuteronomy, chapter 34, moses lived to be
00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:45.348
Chapter 34, moses lived to be 120 years old, and his natural
00:08:45.414 --> 00:08:47.917
120 years old, and his natural force wasn't abated, nor his
00:08:47.984 --> 00:08:49.986
Force wasn't abated, nor his eyesight dim. so this isn't
00:08:50.052 --> 00:08:52.221
Saying that this is a maximum.
00:08:52.288 --> 00:08:53.923
Saying that this is a maximum. it's saying that god allotted
00:08:53.990 --> 00:08:55.391
It's saying that god allotted everybody a minimum of 70 years.
00:08:55.458 --> 00:08:58.794
Everybody a minimum of 70 years. if god hadn't of given us a
00:08:58.861 --> 00:09:00.329
If god hadn't of given us a minimum of 70 years, i guarantee
00:09:00.396 --> 00:09:02.531
Minimum of 70 years, i guarantee you, as ungodly as people were
00:09:02.598 --> 00:09:04.066
You, as ungodly as people were living, people would be dying
00:09:04.133 --> 00:09:06.002
Living, people would be dying off at a very, very young age.
00:09:06.068 --> 00:09:08.004
Off at a very, very young age. and even at 70 years, that's not
00:09:08.070 --> 00:09:09.772
And even at 70 years, that's not guaranteed you're going to get
00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:11.207
Guaranteed you're going to get that. but that's what god has
00:09:11.273 --> 00:09:12.575
That. but that's what god has allotted us. you can change that
00:09:12.642 --> 00:09:14.744
Allotted us. you can change that through suicide. you could have,
00:09:14.810 --> 00:09:17.046
Through suicide. you could have, you know, you could go to war.
00:09:17.113 --> 00:09:18.648
You know, you could go to war. you could be killed in war. you
00:09:18.714 --> 00:09:19.915
You could be killed in war. you could have a car accident.
00:09:19.982 --> 00:09:21.150
Could have a car accident. there's all kinds of things.
00:09:21.217 --> 00:09:22.551
There's all kinds of things. this isn't saying that everybody
00:09:22.618 --> 00:09:24.053
This isn't saying that everybody is guaranteed 70 years, but god
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.123
Is guaranteed 70 years, but god has allotted that. but when it
00:09:27.189 --> 00:09:28.457
Has allotted that. but when it says that you can extend it to
00:09:28.524 --> 00:09:30.393
Says that you can extend it to 80, that shows you that there is
00:09:30.459 --> 00:09:31.927
80, that shows you that there is not a certain time that god has
00:09:31.994 --> 00:09:34.697
Not a certain time that god has picked for you to live here on
00:09:34.764 --> 00:09:36.265
Picked for you to live here on this earth. and yet i have been
00:09:36.332 --> 00:09:38.501
This earth. and yet i have been to many, many, many funerals
00:09:38.567 --> 00:09:41.003
To many, many, many funerals that people just stand up and
00:09:41.070 --> 00:09:42.405
That people just stand up and say, well, it must have been
00:09:42.471 --> 00:09:43.739
Say, well, it must have been their time. it must have been
00:09:43.806 --> 00:09:45.641
Their time. it must have been god's will for them to go. that
00:09:45.708 --> 00:09:48.310
God's will for them to go. that is not what the word of god
00:09:48.377 --> 00:09:49.779
Is not what the word of god teaches. you know i know that as
00:09:49.845 --> 00:09:52.848
Teaches. you know i know that as you're listening to this,
00:09:52.915 --> 00:09:54.350
You're listening to this, watching it, that there are many
00:09:54.417 --> 00:09:55.651
Watching it, that there are many of you that are having
00:09:55.718 --> 00:09:56.452
Of you that are having scriptures come to you, romans
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:57.920
Scriptures come to you, romans 8:28, other things. i'm going to
00:09:57.987 --> 00:10:00.389
8:28, other things. i'm going to be dealing with all of these,
00:10:00.456 --> 00:10:01.757
Be dealing with all of these, but i can't deal with all of
00:10:01.824 --> 00:10:03.292
But i can't deal with all of them in one program. that's the
00:10:03.359 --> 00:10:04.026
Them in one program. that's the
00:10:03.359 --> 00:10:04.060
Reason that i've written this
00:10:04.694 --> 00:10:05.961
Little booklet, and i will deal
00:10:05.961 --> 00:10:07.997
With those things, and i
00:10:07.997 --> 00:10:08.964
Encourage you to please take
00:10:08.964 --> 00:10:10.166
Advantage; we're going to give
00:10:10.166 --> 00:10:11.100
This away as a free gift to you.
00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:14.270
But this is, i believe, probably
00:10:14.336 --> 00:10:17.506
But this is, i believe, probably one of the worst doctrines in
00:10:17.573 --> 00:10:20.176
One of the worst doctrines in the body of christ because as i
00:10:20.242 --> 00:10:21.777
The body of christ because as i said, it just makes you passive.
00:10:21.844 --> 00:10:24.246
Said, it just makes you passive. if you really believe that
00:10:24.313 --> 00:10:26.215
If you really believe that everything that happens to you
00:10:26.282 --> 00:10:28.384
Everything that happens to you is god ordained, that god is the
00:10:28.451 --> 00:10:31.087
Is god ordained, that god is the one who made it happen, then it
00:10:31.153 --> 00:10:33.289
One who made it happen, then it just takes away your incentive
00:10:33.355 --> 00:10:35.725
Just takes away your incentive to seek the lord, to resist the
00:10:35.791 --> 00:10:37.927
To seek the lord, to resist the devil. there is no point in
00:10:37.993 --> 00:10:39.095
Devil. there is no point in resisting the devil if you
00:10:39.161 --> 00:10:41.197
Resisting the devil if you believe that god has, you know,
00:10:41.263 --> 00:10:43.899
Believe that god has, you know, a purpose of siccing the devil
00:10:43.966 --> 00:10:45.668
A purpose of siccing the devil on you and doing these kind of
00:10:45.735 --> 00:10:47.136
On you and doing these kind of things. this is just wrong. it's
00:10:47.203 --> 00:10:50.406
Things. this is just wrong. it's wrong in so many ways. and all
00:10:50.473 --> 00:10:53.609
Wrong in so many ways. and all of this has to do with the
00:10:53.676 --> 00:10:54.777
Of this has to do with the authority that god has given us.
00:10:54.844 --> 00:10:57.179
Authority that god has given us. god gave us authority over the
00:10:57.246 --> 00:10:58.681
God gave us authority over the devil. right here in this
00:10:58.748 --> 00:10:59.749
Devil. right here in this verse, james 4:7, that i was
00:10:59.815 --> 00:11:01.250
Verse, james 4:7, that i was using, you can see this.
00:11:01.317 --> 00:11:02.985
He said you resist the devil,
00:11:03.052 --> 00:11:05.321
He said you resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
00:11:05.387 --> 00:11:07.790
The word you isn't listed
00:11:07.857 --> 00:11:11.327
The word you isn't listed right there, but it's the
00:11:11.393 --> 00:11:12.461
Right there, but it's the understood subject
00:11:12.528 --> 00:11:13.496
Understood subject to this sentence.
00:11:13.562 --> 00:11:14.530
You resist the devil, and
00:11:14.597 --> 00:11:16.398
You resist the devil, and he will flee from you. if
00:11:16.465 --> 00:11:19.401
You don't resist the devil, he's
00:11:19.468 --> 00:11:21.537
You don't resist the devil, he's not going to flee. you know i
00:11:21.604 --> 00:11:23.405
Not going to flee. you know i remember one time listening to
00:11:23.472 --> 00:11:24.774
Remember one time listening to kenneth hagin and kenneth hagin
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:26.342
Kenneth hagin and kenneth hagin said that he had this vision,
00:11:26.408 --> 00:11:28.110
Said that he had this vision, and he saw god standing there,
00:11:28.177 --> 00:11:29.979
And he saw god standing there, and the lord was giving him
00:11:30.045 --> 00:11:31.280
And the lord was giving him instruction and telling him some
00:11:31.347 --> 00:11:32.782
Instruction and telling him some things that he was supposed to
00:11:32.848 --> 00:11:33.816
Things that he was supposed to do. and this demon came in
00:11:33.883 --> 00:11:36.018
Do. and this demon came in between them and was just, you
00:11:36.085 --> 00:11:37.419
Between them and was just, you know, making this noise and
00:11:37.486 --> 00:11:38.954
Know, making this noise and racket and jumping up and down,
00:11:39.021 --> 00:11:40.723
Racket and jumping up and down, and he couldn't see. he was
00:11:40.790 --> 00:11:42.057
And he couldn't see. he was trying to see around this demon,
00:11:42.124 --> 00:11:43.559
Trying to see around this demon, and he wasn't catching every
00:11:43.626 --> 00:11:45.027
And he wasn't catching every word that the lord said. and he
00:11:45.094 --> 00:11:47.763
Word that the lord said. and he said that... this is kenneth
00:11:47.830 --> 00:11:49.098
Said that... this is kenneth hagin he said he remembered,
00:11:49.165 --> 00:11:51.600
Hagin he said he remembered, asking or... or thinking, why
00:11:51.667 --> 00:11:54.036
Asking or... or thinking, why isn't the lord stopping this
00:11:54.103 --> 00:11:55.604
Isn't the lord stopping this demon? and eventually he just
00:11:55.671 --> 00:11:57.506
Demon? and eventually he just got tired of it, and he yelled
00:11:57.573 --> 00:11:59.375
Got tired of it, and he yelled at this demon and said, get out
00:11:59.441 --> 00:12:01.010
At this demon and said, get out of here in the name of jesus,
00:12:01.076 --> 00:12:02.378
Of here in the name of jesus, and ppshoom, that demon was gone
00:12:02.444 --> 00:12:04.580
And ppshoom, that demon was gone like that. and he said that the
00:12:04.647 --> 00:12:06.215
Like that. and he said that the lord spoke to him, and he said,
00:12:06.282 --> 00:12:07.349
Lord spoke to him, and he said, if you hadn't of done that, i
00:12:07.416 --> 00:12:09.218
If you hadn't of done that, i couldn't. now again, see, this
00:12:09.285 --> 00:12:12.087
Couldn't. now again, see, this really bothers people
00:12:12.154 --> 00:12:13.689
Really bothers people who are into this extreme
00:12:13.756 --> 00:12:16.091
Who are into this extreme religious sovereignty of god
00:12:16.158 --> 00:12:18.027
Religious sovereignty of god because they say god could do
00:12:18.093 --> 00:12:19.929
Because they say god could do anything. it's not what the
00:12:19.995 --> 00:12:22.064
Anything. it's not what the word says. the bible says
00:12:22.131 --> 00:12:23.632
In ephesians, chapter 3, and
00:12:23.699 --> 00:12:25.267
In ephesians, chapter 3, and in verse 20, now unto him
00:12:25.334 --> 00:12:27.803
In verse 20, now unto him who is able to do exceeding
00:12:27.870 --> 00:12:29.638
Who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or
00:12:29.705 --> 00:12:32.107
Abundantly above all we ask or think. and most people just stop
00:12:32.174 --> 00:12:34.243
Right there, and they say see,
00:12:34.310 --> 00:12:35.311
Right there, and they say see, god can do anything. he can
00:12:35.377 --> 00:12:37.179
God can do anything. he can do exceeding abundantly
00:12:37.246 --> 00:12:38.480
Do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think.
00:12:38.547 --> 00:12:40.182
Above all we ask or think. that's not what it says.
00:12:40.249 --> 00:12:41.517
It goes on to say, according
00:12:41.584 --> 00:12:43.352
It goes on to say, according to the power that works
00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:45.588
To the power that works in us. if you don't have any
00:12:45.654 --> 00:12:47.957
Power of god, faith and love
00:12:48.023 --> 00:12:51.227
Power of god, faith and love working on the inside of you,
00:12:51.293 --> 00:12:53.262
Working on the inside of you, you stop the power of god. so
00:12:53.329 --> 00:12:55.965
You stop the power of god. so when kenneth hagin was listening
00:12:56.031 --> 00:12:58.100
When kenneth hagin was listening to the lord and he said if you
00:12:58.167 --> 00:12:59.201
To the lord and he said if you hadn't of done that, i couldn't,
00:12:59.268 --> 00:13:00.736
Hadn't of done that, i couldn't, that is 100% correct because god
00:13:00.803 --> 00:13:03.639
That is 100% correct because god gave authority to you and me
00:13:03.706 --> 00:13:06.709
Gave authority to you and me over sickness, over disease,
00:13:06.775 --> 00:13:08.644
Over sickness, over disease, over all kinds of things. in the
00:13:08.711 --> 00:13:10.980
Over all kinds of things. in the 10th chapter of the book of
00:13:11.046 --> 00:13:12.248
10th chapter of the book of matthew, the lord told his
00:13:12.314 --> 00:13:14.083
Matthew, the lord told his disciples, i give you power. let
00:13:14.149 --> 00:13:17.553
Disciples, i give you power. let me just turn over and read this
00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:18.921
Me just turn over and read this because i'm not sure i'll
00:13:18.988 --> 00:13:20.489
Because i'm not sure i'll quote that exactly right.
00:13:20.556 --> 00:13:21.824
Quote that exactly right. but this is matthew,
00:13:21.891 --> 00:13:23.659
But this is matthew, chapter 10, and in verse 1,
00:13:23.726 --> 00:13:26.829
It says, and when he had
00:13:26.896 --> 00:13:29.131
It says, and when he had called unto him his twelve
00:13:29.198 --> 00:13:30.499
Called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power
00:13:30.566 --> 00:13:32.935
Disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast
00:13:33.002 --> 00:13:35.137
Against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner
00:13:35.204 --> 00:13:36.939
Them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of
00:13:37.006 --> 00:13:39.275
Of sickness and all manner of disease. and then he lists the
00:13:39.341 --> 00:13:40.876
Apostles' names. and
00:13:40.943 --> 00:13:42.978
Apostles' names. and then he told them
00:13:43.045 --> 00:13:44.213
In verse 5, he says, go
00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:45.714
In verse 5, he says, go not into the way of the
00:13:45.781 --> 00:13:47.983
Not into the way of the gentiles, and into any city of
00:13:48.050 --> 00:13:49.685
Gentiles, and into any city of the samaritans, enter ye not:
00:13:49.752 --> 00:13:52.254
The samaritans, enter ye not: but go rather to the lost sheep
00:13:52.321 --> 00:13:54.056
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of israel. and as
00:13:54.123 --> 00:13:55.424
Of the house of israel. and as you go, preach, saying, the
00:13:55.491 --> 00:13:56.725
You go, preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
00:13:56.792 --> 00:13:58.727
Kingdom of heaven is at hand. that means it's present. you
00:13:58.794 --> 00:14:00.562
That means it's present. you aren't waiting for it anymore.
00:14:00.629 --> 00:14:02.464
Aren't waiting for it anymore. and then in verse 8, he said,
00:14:02.531 --> 00:14:03.732
And then in verse 8, he said, heal the sick, cleanse the
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:05.901
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
00:14:05.968 --> 00:14:08.704
Lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have
00:14:08.771 --> 00:14:10.606
Devils: freely you have received, freely give. that 8th
00:14:10.673 --> 00:14:13.442
Verse, he didn't tell you to
00:14:13.509 --> 00:14:14.843
Verse, he didn't tell you to pray for the sick, he told you
00:14:14.910 --> 00:14:16.512
Pray for the sick, he told you to heal the sick. again, this is
00:14:16.578 --> 00:14:20.382
To heal the sick. again, this is just so offensive to people see
00:14:20.449 --> 00:14:22.885
Just so offensive to people see that have... that believe in
00:14:22.952 --> 00:14:24.320
That have... that believe in this extreme, unbiblical
00:14:24.386 --> 00:14:26.722
This extreme, unbiblical sovereignty of god because they
00:14:26.789 --> 00:14:28.424
Sovereignty of god because they think, well, everything that
00:14:28.490 --> 00:14:29.591
Think, well, everything that happens, it's god's will. so
00:14:29.658 --> 00:14:31.427
Happens, it's god's will. so what you do, you just pray for a
00:14:31.493 --> 00:14:33.295
What you do, you just pray for a person and you ask god if it's
00:14:33.362 --> 00:14:36.098
Person and you ask god if it's your will, heal this person. and
00:14:36.165 --> 00:14:38.801
Your will, heal this person. and so you just kind of throw your
00:14:38.867 --> 00:14:40.035
So you just kind of throw your prayer out there, and if nothing
00:14:40.102 --> 00:14:42.538
Prayer out there, and if nothing happens, well then it must have
00:14:42.604 --> 00:14:43.772
Happens, well then it must have been god's will for them to stay
00:14:43.839 --> 00:14:45.341
Been god's will for them to stay sick. if they were to get
00:14:45.407 --> 00:14:46.742
Sick. if they were to get healed, well then you say,
00:14:46.809 --> 00:14:47.843
Healed, well then you say, praise god, it must have been
00:14:47.910 --> 00:14:49.111
Praise god, it must have been god's will. but that's not what
00:14:49.178 --> 00:14:50.679
God's will. but that's not what this is saying. this is saying
00:14:50.746 --> 00:14:52.181
This is saying. this is saying that you go, and you heal the
00:14:52.247 --> 00:14:53.882
That you go, and you heal the sick. it didn't tell you to pray
00:14:53.949 --> 00:14:55.951
Sick. it didn't tell you to pray for the sick. it said heal the
00:14:56.018 --> 00:14:57.219
For the sick. it said heal the sick. in the 3rd chapter of
00:14:57.286 --> 00:14:59.088
Sick. in the 3rd chapter of the book of acts, you see
00:14:59.154 --> 00:15:00.756
Peter and john going
00:15:00.823 --> 00:15:02.024
Peter and john going into the temple at the hour
00:15:02.091 --> 00:15:03.926
Into the temple at the hour of prayer. and they saw a
00:15:03.993 --> 00:15:05.661
Man that had been lame there
00:15:05.728 --> 00:15:07.796
Man that had been lame there for 38 years. you find that out
00:15:07.863 --> 00:15:10.032
For 38 years. you find that out in the 4th chapter when it's
00:15:10.099 --> 00:15:11.367
In the 4th chapter when it's repeated, this story, and it
00:15:11.433 --> 00:15:12.968
Repeated, this story, and it says it was 38 years ago that
00:15:13.035 --> 00:15:15.371
Says it was 38 years ago that this had happened to him. so for
00:15:15.437 --> 00:15:16.805
This had happened to him. so for 38 years this man had been
00:15:16.872 --> 00:15:18.707
38 years this man had been begging and had been lame.
00:15:18.774 --> 00:15:21.110
Begging and had been lame. and when he saw peter and
00:15:21.176 --> 00:15:23.278
And when he saw peter and john, he asked for an alm.
00:15:23.345 --> 00:15:25.180
And peter told him, he said,
00:15:25.247 --> 00:15:26.682
And peter told him, he said, silver and gold have i none;
00:15:26.749 --> 00:15:28.484
Silver and gold have i none; but such as i have, give
00:15:28.550 --> 00:15:31.153
But such as i have, give i unto thee: in the name of
00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:33.222
I unto thee: in the name of jesus christ of nazareth, rise
00:15:33.288 --> 00:15:35.124
Jesus christ of nazareth, rise up and walk. and they just
00:15:35.190 --> 00:15:36.625
Up and walk. and they just reached down and grabbed him by
00:15:36.692 --> 00:15:37.960
Reached down and grabbed him by the hand, and lifted him up: and
00:15:38.027 --> 00:15:40.229
The hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle
00:15:40.295 --> 00:15:41.997
Immediately his feet and ankle bone received strength. and he
00:15:42.064 --> 00:15:43.599
Bone received strength. and he went walking, and leaping, and
00:15:43.665 --> 00:15:46.235
Went walking, and leaping, and praising god. did you notice
00:15:46.301 --> 00:15:48.404
That he didn't pray for this
00:15:48.470 --> 00:15:49.838
That he didn't pray for this man? he just said, such as i
00:15:49.905 --> 00:15:52.474
Man? he just said, such as i have give i unto thee. and he
00:15:52.541 --> 00:15:56.145
Have give i unto thee. and he just reached down, grabbed him
00:15:56.211 --> 00:15:58.180
Just reached down, grabbed him and yanked him up. did you know,
00:15:58.247 --> 00:16:00.816
And yanked him up. did you know, again, this is so offensive to
00:16:00.883 --> 00:16:03.385
Again, this is so offensive to people who have a wrong
00:16:03.452 --> 00:16:04.920
People who have a wrong interpretation of the
00:16:04.987 --> 00:16:06.155
Interpretation of the sovereignty of god, because they
00:16:06.221 --> 00:16:08.123
Sovereignty of god, because they think, well we have no power. we
00:16:08.190 --> 00:16:10.025
Think, well we have no power. we can do nothing. it's just
00:16:10.092 --> 00:16:11.460
Can do nothing. it's just totally up to god. no, the lord
00:16:11.527 --> 00:16:13.595
Totally up to god. no, the lord said, i give you power over all
00:16:13.662 --> 00:16:16.031
Said, i give you power over all sickness, over all disease, and
00:16:16.098 --> 00:16:18.167
Sickness, over all disease, and over all demons to cast them
00:16:18.233 --> 00:16:20.069
Over all demons to cast them out. and then he says, now you
00:16:20.135 --> 00:16:21.236
Out. and then he says, now you go heal the sick. and again, i
00:16:21.303 --> 00:16:25.174
Go heal the sick. and again, i know that there's a lot of
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:26.241
Know that there's a lot of people that are being offended
00:16:26.308 --> 00:16:27.509
People that are being offended by what i'm saying, because this
00:16:27.576 --> 00:16:29.011
By what i'm saying, because this is not the way that religion
00:16:29.078 --> 00:16:30.646
Is not the way that religion teaches us. people will approach
00:16:30.712 --> 00:16:32.815
Teaches us. people will approach god as o god, i am nothing, i
00:16:32.881 --> 00:16:35.317
God as o god, i am nothing, i have nothing, i can do nothing,
00:16:35.384 --> 00:16:37.519
Have nothing, i can do nothing, but we know that you can do all
00:16:37.586 --> 00:16:39.354
But we know that you can do all things. would you stretch forth
00:16:39.421 --> 00:16:40.823
Things. would you stretch forth your hand. would you please
00:16:40.889 --> 00:16:42.624
Your hand. would you please touch this person? and we come
00:16:42.691 --> 00:16:44.793
Touch this person? and we come as a beggar. that is not what
00:16:44.860 --> 00:16:47.396
As a beggar. that is not what peter and john did and that's
00:16:47.463 --> 00:16:48.864
Peter and john did and that's the reason they saw this man
00:16:48.931 --> 00:16:50.165
The reason they saw this man healed and it's the reason that
00:16:50.232 --> 00:16:51.500
Healed and it's the reason that people today who pray these
00:16:51.567 --> 00:16:53.535
People today who pray these chicken prayers, where they just
00:16:53.602 --> 00:16:55.504
Chicken prayers, where they just ask god to do it, but they
00:16:55.571 --> 00:16:57.306
Ask god to do it, but they assume no responsibility, no
00:16:57.372 --> 00:16:59.441
Assume no responsibility, no authority over anything, and
00:16:59.508 --> 00:17:02.344
Authority over anything, and they just pray. it's... and like
00:17:02.411 --> 00:17:03.846
They just pray. it's... and like i heard a man one time say that
00:17:03.912 --> 00:17:05.314
I heard a man one time say that the way he gave his offerings to
00:17:05.380 --> 00:17:07.516
The way he gave his offerings to the lord, he took the offerings
00:17:07.583 --> 00:17:08.951
The lord, he took the offerings from the church service, and he
00:17:09.017 --> 00:17:10.519
From the church service, and he put them in a bucket. and then
00:17:10.586 --> 00:17:11.620
Put them in a bucket. and then he just threw it up in the air
00:17:11.687 --> 00:17:13.188
He just threw it up in the air and he says, god, if you want
00:17:13.255 --> 00:17:14.356
And he says, god, if you want something, take it and anything
00:17:14.423 --> 00:17:15.657
Something, take it and anything that falls back to the ground,
00:17:15.724 --> 00:17:16.959
That falls back to the ground, it's mine. did you know if you
00:17:17.025 --> 00:17:18.927
It's mine. did you know if you do that, everything's going to
00:17:18.994 --> 00:17:20.462
Do that, everything's going to fall back to the ground. that's
00:17:20.529 --> 00:17:21.763
Fall back to the ground. that's not the way that it works. well
00:17:21.830 --> 00:17:24.133
Not the way that it works. well likewise, some people just throw
00:17:24.199 --> 00:17:25.601
Likewise, some people just throw their prayer out there, and god,
00:17:25.667 --> 00:17:27.136
Their prayer out there, and god, if it's your will, heal this
00:17:27.202 --> 00:17:28.670
If it's your will, heal this person. if it's your will, do
00:17:28.737 --> 00:17:30.506
Person. if it's your will, do this. you aren't going to see
00:17:30.572 --> 00:17:32.574
This. you aren't going to see things done that way. you have
00:17:32.641 --> 00:17:34.176
Things done that way. you have to know that there are certain
00:17:34.243 --> 00:17:35.577
To know that there are certain things that are from god, and
00:17:35.644 --> 00:17:36.945
Things that are from god, and you yield, and you submit
00:17:37.012 --> 00:17:38.580
You yield, and you submit yourselves to them. but there
00:17:38.647 --> 00:17:40.582
Yourselves to them. but there are other things that are from
00:17:40.649 --> 00:17:41.783
Are other things that are from the devil and unless you take
00:17:41.850 --> 00:17:43.986
The devil and unless you take your authority and unless you
00:17:44.052 --> 00:17:46.622
Your authority and unless you rebuke the devil, he's not going
00:17:46.688 --> 00:17:49.324
Rebuke the devil, he's not going to flee god. god and the devil
00:17:49.391 --> 00:17:51.960
To flee god. god and the devil have already met in conflict.
00:17:52.027 --> 00:17:54.129
Have already met in conflict. jesus went into hell and came
00:17:54.196 --> 00:17:56.398
Jesus went into hell and came out of hell with the keys of
00:17:56.465 --> 00:17:58.167
Out of hell with the keys of death and of hell and of the
00:17:58.233 --> 00:17:59.535
Death and of hell and of the grave dangling on his side. he
00:17:59.601 --> 00:18:01.803
Grave dangling on his side. he has beaten the devil. there is
00:18:01.870 --> 00:18:03.872
Has beaten the devil. there is no direct conflict between god
00:18:03.939 --> 00:18:06.041
No direct conflict between god and the devil. satan isn't
00:18:06.108 --> 00:18:08.043
And the devil. satan isn't fighting god directly. what he's
00:18:08.110 --> 00:18:09.778
Fighting god directly. what he's doing, he's coming against you
00:18:09.845 --> 00:18:11.380
Doing, he's coming against you and me with lies and with
00:18:11.446 --> 00:18:14.016
And me with lies and with deceptions. and if he can get us
00:18:14.082 --> 00:18:16.652
Deceptions. and if he can get us to yield to him through the
00:18:16.718 --> 00:18:18.720
To yield to him through the wrong understanding or through a
00:18:18.787 --> 00:18:20.622
Wrong understanding or through a lie, we stop the power of god.
00:18:20.689 --> 00:18:22.824
Lie, we stop the power of god. satan can't stop god. but god
00:18:22.891 --> 00:18:25.861
Satan can't stop god. but god has shared authority with us.
00:18:25.928 --> 00:18:27.896
Has shared authority with us. he's made us co-heirs with him.
00:18:27.963 --> 00:18:30.599
He's made us co-heirs with him. he turned around after he gained
00:18:30.666 --> 00:18:32.301
He turned around after he gained all authority in heaven and
00:18:32.367 --> 00:18:33.635
All authority in heaven and earth, and he said, now go ye,
00:18:33.702 --> 00:18:35.204
Earth, and he said, now go ye, and he shared that authority
00:18:35.270 --> 00:18:36.772
And he shared that authority with us. and so we are co-heirs
00:18:36.838 --> 00:18:39.608
With us. and so we are co-heirs with god. and if we stop the
00:18:39.675 --> 00:18:43.245
With god. and if we stop the power of god, we can stop him,
00:18:43.312 --> 00:18:44.947
Power of god, we can stop him, but satan can't. and one of the
00:18:45.013 --> 00:18:46.882
But satan can't. and one of the greatest things that satan uses
00:18:46.949 --> 00:18:49.918
Greatest things that satan uses to stop people from taking their
00:18:49.985 --> 00:18:52.321
To stop people from taking their authority and releasing what god
00:18:52.387 --> 00:18:54.790
Authority and releasing what god has given them, is this wrong
00:18:54.856 --> 00:18:56.558
Has given them, is this wrong teaching on the sovereignty of
00:18:56.625 --> 00:18:58.594
Teaching on the sovereignty of god, that god controls
00:18:58.660 --> 00:18:59.995
God, that god controls everything. and i'm going to
00:19:00.062 --> 00:19:01.863
Everything. and i'm going to give you a lot of personal
00:19:01.930 --> 00:19:03.065
Give you a lot of personal testimonies. i was nearly
00:19:03.131 --> 00:19:04.666
Testimonies. i was nearly destroyed through this. i have
00:19:04.733 --> 00:19:06.201
Destroyed through this. i have seen people die because of this
00:19:06.268 --> 00:19:09.004
Seen people die because of this sovereignty of god teaching, a
00:19:09.071 --> 00:19:10.672
Sovereignty of god teaching, a lot of people. a lot of
00:19:10.739 --> 00:19:13.041
Lot of people. a lot of religious people are being
00:19:13.108 --> 00:19:14.376
Religious people are being destroyed by this. in my
00:19:14.443 --> 00:19:16.411
Destroyed by this. in my estimation, i think it's the
00:19:16.478 --> 00:19:18.547
Estimation, i think it's the worst doctrine in the body of
00:19:18.614 --> 00:19:21.917
Worst doctrine in the body of christ today because it just
00:19:21.984 --> 00:19:23.385
Christ today because it just renders people passive. nobody's
00:19:23.452 --> 00:19:26.088
Renders people passive. nobody's going to take their authority.
00:19:26.154 --> 00:19:27.022
Going to take their authority. nobody is going to operate like
00:19:27.089 --> 00:19:28.523
Nobody is going to operate like peter and say, such as i have
00:19:28.590 --> 00:19:30.959
Peter and say, such as i have give i unto thee, because after
00:19:31.026 --> 00:19:32.761
Give i unto thee, because after all, it's just totally up to
00:19:32.828 --> 00:19:34.563
All, it's just totally up to god. we don't have any control.
00:19:34.630 --> 00:19:36.198
God. we don't have any control. it's whatever god wills. you
00:19:36.265 --> 00:19:39.901
It's whatever god wills. you know, if you really believe
00:19:39.968 --> 00:19:40.969
Know, if you really believe that, why would you resist
00:19:41.036 --> 00:19:43.038
That, why would you resist sickness? why not just, you
00:19:43.105 --> 00:19:45.207
Sickness? why not just, you know, let sickness have its full
00:19:45.274 --> 00:19:46.708
Know, let sickness have its full work? why would you go to the
00:19:46.775 --> 00:19:47.743
Work? why would you go to the doctor? why would you have
00:19:47.809 --> 00:19:49.011
Doctor? why would you have surgery? why would you get
00:19:49.077 --> 00:19:50.412
Surgery? why would you get medication and try and get out
00:19:50.479 --> 00:19:52.547
Medication and try and get out of god's will? if nothing
00:19:52.614 --> 00:19:54.783
Of god's will? if nothing happens to you but what it's
00:19:54.850 --> 00:19:56.051
Happens to you but what it's god's will, then, i'm saying
00:19:56.118 --> 00:19:58.053
God's will, then, i'm saying this in love, i'm not trying to
00:19:58.120 --> 00:19:59.388
This in love, i'm not trying to be mean, but i am trying to be
00:19:59.454 --> 00:20:00.756
Be mean, but i am trying to be blunt and get my point across
00:20:00.822 --> 00:20:03.225
Blunt and get my point across that it's hypocrisy. it's
00:20:03.292 --> 00:20:05.227
That it's hypocrisy. it's hypocritical for us to say, oh
00:20:05.294 --> 00:20:07.362
Hypocritical for us to say, oh god gave this sickness to me,
00:20:07.429 --> 00:20:09.164
God gave this sickness to me, and then you're going to go to
00:20:09.231 --> 00:20:10.265
And then you're going to go to the doctor and try and get out
00:20:10.332 --> 00:20:11.833
The doctor and try and get out of god's will? of course, i
00:20:11.900 --> 00:20:14.069
Of god's will? of course, i don't believe that, and you
00:20:14.136 --> 00:20:15.671
Don't believe that, and you shouldn't believe that either
00:20:15.737 --> 00:20:16.805
Shouldn't believe that either but that is what the sovereignty
00:20:16.872 --> 00:20:18.607
But that is what the sovereignty of god teaching says. you know,
00:20:18.674 --> 00:20:21.343
Of god teaching says. you know, when i minister along these
00:20:21.410 --> 00:20:22.744
When i minister along these lines, and i mention this often
00:20:22.811 --> 00:20:24.346
Lines, and i mention this often in my meetings, i've had people
00:20:24.413 --> 00:20:26.315
In my meetings, i've had people get so incensed at me and come
00:20:26.381 --> 00:20:28.684
Get so incensed at me and come up and say, what you're saying
00:20:28.750 --> 00:20:30.452
Up and say, what you're saying is of the devil. and they just
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:32.954
Is of the devil. and they just ream me out and say, and you
00:20:33.021 --> 00:20:35.190
Ream me out and say, and you are... this is not god. god is
00:20:35.257 --> 00:20:37.292
Are... this is not god. god is not telling you to speak this.
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:39.027
Not telling you to speak this. and i'll just hume their... use
00:20:39.094 --> 00:20:40.395
And i'll just hume their... use their own theology against them.
00:20:40.462 --> 00:20:42.464
Their own theology against them. and i said, do you believe that
00:20:42.531 --> 00:20:43.532
And i said, do you believe that everything that happens is god's
00:20:43.598 --> 00:20:45.100
Everything that happens is god's will? yes, that's what i
00:20:45.167 --> 00:20:46.401
Will? yes, that's what i believe. and i said, well then i
00:20:46.468 --> 00:20:47.536
Believe. and i said, well then i couldn't be preaching this if it
00:20:47.602 --> 00:20:48.870
Couldn't be preaching this if it wasn't god's will. amen. if
00:20:48.937 --> 00:20:51.773
Wasn't god's will. amen. if you're upset and thinking, how
00:20:51.840 --> 00:20:52.974
You're upset and thinking, how could you be saying this? well,
00:20:53.041 --> 00:20:54.576
Could you be saying this? well, then that right there it... by
00:20:54.643 --> 00:20:56.044
Then that right there it... by your own doctrine proves that
00:20:56.111 --> 00:20:58.413
Your own doctrine proves that god doesn't just control
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:00.048
God doesn't just control everything. if you really
00:21:00.115 --> 00:21:01.883
Everything. if you really believe what you were saying,
00:21:01.950 --> 00:21:03.151
Believe what you were saying, then i couldn't be preaching
00:21:03.218 --> 00:21:04.419
Then i couldn't be preaching these things if god didn't allow
00:21:04.486 --> 00:21:06.355
These things if god didn't allow it. that would mean that people
00:21:06.421 --> 00:21:07.322
It. that would mean that people that are proclaiming satanism
00:21:07.389 --> 00:21:09.124
That are proclaiming satanism and human sacrifice, and
00:21:09.191 --> 00:21:11.460
And human sacrifice, and pedophilia, and all kinds of
00:21:11.526 --> 00:21:13.528
Pedophilia, and all kinds of things, god would have to be
00:21:13.595 --> 00:21:15.230
Things, god would have to be allowing it. god would have to
00:21:15.297 --> 00:21:16.965
Allowing it. god would have to be the one who's... who's
00:21:17.032 --> 00:21:18.300
Be the one who's... who's letting satan do these things. i
00:21:18.367 --> 00:21:20.769
Letting satan do these things. i tell you if you believe that,
00:21:20.836 --> 00:21:22.404
Tell you if you believe that, that is just wrong on so many
00:21:22.471 --> 00:21:24.940
That is just wrong on so many levels. and yet there are a lot
00:21:25.006 --> 00:21:27.876
Levels. and yet there are a lot of religious people that believe
00:21:27.943 --> 00:21:31.012
Of religious people that believe that god just controls
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:32.481
That god just controls everything. and then there's a
00:21:32.547 --> 00:21:33.782
Everything. and then there's a lot of people that will... will
00:21:33.849 --> 00:21:35.150
Lot of people that will... will say they believe that. but then
00:21:35.217 --> 00:21:37.018
Say they believe that. but then when it comes to a personal
00:21:37.085 --> 00:21:38.186
When it comes to a personal bay... everyday life, you know,
00:21:38.253 --> 00:21:40.922
Bay... everyday life, you know, they will sit there and say, oh,
00:21:40.989 --> 00:21:42.124
They will sit there and say, oh, well no, this isn't of god. it's
00:21:42.190 --> 00:21:44.025
Well no, this isn't of god. it's either true or it isn't true.
00:21:44.092 --> 00:21:45.227
Either true or it isn't true. either he controls everything,
00:21:45.293 --> 00:21:46.628
Either he controls everything, or he doesn't control
00:21:46.695 --> 00:21:47.829
Or he doesn't control everything. and if he doesn't
00:21:47.896 --> 00:21:49.297
Everything. and if he doesn't control everything, then you are
00:21:49.364 --> 00:21:50.766
Control everything, then you are going to have to adjust your
00:21:50.832 --> 00:21:53.034
Going to have to adjust your doctrine about the sovereignty
00:21:53.101 --> 00:21:55.203
Doctrine about the sovereignty of god. again, in my estimation,
00:21:55.270 --> 00:21:57.806
Of god. again, in my estimation, i think this is the worst thing
00:21:57.873 --> 00:21:59.374
I think this is the worst thing because it just allows people to
00:21:59.441 --> 00:22:01.543
Because it just allows people to sit there and just allow satan
00:22:01.610 --> 00:22:03.879
Sit there and just allow satan to come against them, and they
00:22:03.945 --> 00:22:05.580
To come against them, and they don't fight against it. they
00:22:05.647 --> 00:22:06.948
Don't fight against it. they don't take the authority that
00:22:07.015 --> 00:22:08.617
Don't take the authority that god has given us and fight,
00:22:08.683 --> 00:22:10.919
God has given us and fight, actively fight against the devil
00:22:10.986 --> 00:22:12.821
Actively fight against the devil because they think that god is
00:22:12.888 --> 00:22:15.056
Because they think that god is somehow or another either
00:22:15.123 --> 00:22:16.124
Somehow or another either causing this or allowing it
00:22:16.191 --> 00:22:18.593
Causing this or allowing it somehow for his glory. that is
00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:20.862
Somehow for his glory. that is not what the word of god
00:22:20.929 --> 00:22:22.197
Not what the word of god teaches. i'm going to be using
00:22:22.264 --> 00:22:24.332
Teaches. i'm going to be using examples about the children of
00:22:24.399 --> 00:22:26.268
Examples about the children of israel to prove this. about our
00:22:26.334 --> 00:22:28.470
Israel to prove this. about our own lives. if god doesn't
00:22:28.537 --> 00:22:30.205
Own lives. if god doesn't control you, well then what
00:22:30.272 --> 00:22:32.307
Control you, well then what makes you think he controls
00:22:32.374 --> 00:22:33.675
Makes you think he controls everything else? i can guarantee
00:22:33.742 --> 00:22:36.011
Everything else? i can guarantee you the people watching this
00:22:36.077 --> 00:22:37.112
You the people watching this program if you would be honest,
00:22:37.179 --> 00:22:39.281
Program if you would be honest, there has been some time in your
00:22:39.347 --> 00:22:41.082
There has been some time in your life where you felt god was
00:22:41.149 --> 00:22:43.051
Life where you felt god was leading you to do something, and
00:22:43.118 --> 00:22:45.120
Leading you to do something, and you didn't do it. i believe
00:22:45.187 --> 00:22:46.922
You didn't do it. i believe every person watching this would
00:22:46.988 --> 00:22:48.223
Every person watching this would have to agree and say, yes,
00:22:48.290 --> 00:22:49.691
Have to agree and say, yes, that's true. and so god told you
00:22:49.758 --> 00:22:52.093
That's true. and so god told you to go this direction. you went
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.862
To go this direction. you went that direction, which means god
00:22:53.929 --> 00:22:56.698
That direction, which means god did not force you. god did not
00:22:56.765 --> 00:22:58.867
Did not force you. god did not control you. you have a free
00:22:58.934 --> 00:23:00.969
Control you. you have a free will, and you chose to go a
00:23:01.036 --> 00:23:03.839
Will, and you chose to go a different direction. so if god
00:23:03.905 --> 00:23:05.474
Different direction. so if god doesn't control you like a chess
00:23:05.540 --> 00:23:07.709
Doesn't control you like a chess piece, well then, what makes you
00:23:07.776 --> 00:23:09.644
Piece, well then, what makes you think he's controlling
00:23:09.711 --> 00:23:10.745
Think he's controlling everything else and everybody
00:23:10.812 --> 00:23:12.314
Everything else and everybody else that way? that's just
00:23:12.380 --> 00:23:13.815
Else that way? that's just inconsistent. so anyway, i'm out
00:23:13.882 --> 00:23:16.084
Inconsistent. so anyway, i'm out of time today. this has been
00:23:16.151 --> 00:23:16.618
Pretty much introduction but
00:23:17.219 --> 00:23:18.487
We're going to get into this in
00:23:18.487 --> 00:23:19.654
More detail. and i've written
00:23:19.654 --> 00:23:21.356
This little book entitled the
00:23:21.356 --> 00:23:22.691
Sovereignty of god. this is a
00:23:22.691 --> 00:23:24.893
Free gift to you, and i promise
00:23:24.893 --> 00:23:26.828
You this would enlighten you.
