  • 00:00:24.614 --> 00:00:27.750
  • >> welcome to our thursday's
  • 00:00:27.817 --> 00:00:28.885
  • Broadcast of the gospel truth. i
  • 00:00:28.885 --> 00:00:31.421
  • Tell you, i've been sharing some
  • 00:00:31.421 --> 00:00:32.522
  • Things about the true nature of
  • 00:00:32.522 --> 00:00:34.190
  • God, what he is really like,
  • 00:00:34.190 --> 00:00:36.693
  • And trying to portray that
  • 00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:38.094
  • And trying to portray that god is love. 1 john, chapter
  • 00:00:38.161 --> 00:00:40.396
  • God is love. 1 john, chapter 4, verse 8 and 16 says that.
  • 00:00:40.463 --> 00:00:43.399
  • 4, verse 8 and 16 says that. and yet there's things
  • 00:00:43.466 --> 00:00:44.467
  • And yet there's things even in the bible where
  • 00:00:44.534 --> 00:00:46.369
  • Even in the bible where god's wrath was poured
  • 00:00:46.436 --> 00:00:47.904
  • God's wrath was poured out, and because of it, people
  • 00:00:47.971 --> 00:00:49.672
  • Out, and because of it, people just aren't sure about, is god
  • 00:00:49.739 --> 00:00:52.408
  • Just aren't sure about, is god going to be a merciful god today
  • 00:00:52.475 --> 00:00:54.377
  • Going to be a merciful god today or is he going to deal harshly
  • 00:00:54.444 --> 00:00:55.979
  • Or is he going to deal harshly with me because i've sinned? and
  • 00:00:56.045 --> 00:00:58.581
  • With me because i've sinned? and some of the confusion about
  • 00:00:58.648 --> 00:01:00.650
  • Some of the confusion about the true nature of god comes
  • 00:01:00.717 --> 00:01:02.252
  • The true nature of god comes from scripture. not because
  • 00:01:02.318 --> 00:01:03.953
  • From scripture. not because the scripture is wrong. the
  • 00:01:04.020 --> 00:01:05.355
  • The scripture is wrong. the scripture is 100% correct in
  • 00:01:05.421 --> 00:01:07.590
  • Scripture is 100% correct in every detail, but people have
  • 00:01:07.657 --> 00:01:09.993
  • Every detail, but people have interpreted it in a way that
  • 00:01:10.059 --> 00:01:12.195
  • Interpreted it in a way that has presented god as
  • 00:01:12.262 --> 00:01:13.496
  • Has presented god as this harsh, angry god.
  • 00:01:13.563 --> 00:01:15.598
  • And so i've been showing
  • 00:01:16.132 --> 00:01:17.500
  • That the law was given,
  • 00:01:17.567 --> 00:01:19.035
  • That the law was given, not to set you free, but to
  • 00:01:19.102 --> 00:01:21.571
  • Not to set you free, but to show you how bound you
  • 00:01:21.638 --> 00:01:23.540
  • Show you how bound you were. it was to amplify sin.
  • 00:01:23.606 --> 00:01:26.176
  • And as it says in 1 corinthians,
  • 00:01:26.242 --> 00:01:27.877
  • And as it says in 1 corinthians, chapter 15, verse 56, the
  • 00:01:27.944 --> 00:01:29.846
  • Chapter 15, verse 56, the strength of sin is the law.
  • 00:01:29.913 --> 00:01:32.649
  • The law was given to strengthen
  • 00:01:32.715 --> 00:01:34.517
  • The law was given to strengthen sin in its battle against you,
  • 00:01:34.584 --> 00:01:36.686
  • Sin in its battle against you, not to strengthen you in your
  • 00:01:36.753 --> 00:01:38.454
  • Not to strengthen you in your battle against sin. somebody
  • 00:01:38.521 --> 00:01:40.890
  • Battle against sin. somebody says, why would god do that?
  • 00:01:40.957 --> 00:01:42.859
  • Says, why would god do that? because the truth is sin had
  • 00:01:42.926 --> 00:01:44.194
  • Because the truth is sin had already beaten us, and we
  • 00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:45.895
  • Already beaten us, and we didn't know it. and so we needed
  • 00:01:45.962 --> 00:01:48.164
  • Didn't know it. and so we needed to see how bad sin was and it
  • 00:01:48.231 --> 00:01:51.201
  • To see how bad sin was and it strengthened sin when the
  • 00:01:51.267 --> 00:01:53.670
  • Strengthened sin when the law was given. i also used 2
  • 00:01:53.736 --> 00:01:56.039
  • Law was given. i also used 2 corinthians, chapter 3. and
  • 00:01:56.105 --> 00:01:57.507
  • Corinthians, chapter 3. and let me just go back and
  • 00:01:57.574 --> 00:01:58.374
  • Let me just go back and read some of these verses.
  • 00:01:58.441 --> 00:01:59.842
  • In verse 7, it says, but if the
  • 00:01:59.909 --> 00:02:01.811
  • In verse 7, it says, but if the ministration of death, talking
  • 00:02:01.878 --> 00:02:04.314
  • Ministration of death, talking about the law. calls it a
  • 00:02:04.380 --> 00:02:05.515
  • About the law. calls it a ministration of death,
  • 00:02:05.582 --> 00:02:07.217
  • Ministration of death, written and engraven in
  • 00:02:07.283 --> 00:02:08.351
  • Written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that
  • 00:02:08.418 --> 00:02:09.819
  • Stones, was glorious, so that the children of israel could
  • 00:02:09.886 --> 00:02:11.020
  • The children of israel could not stedfastly behold the
  • 00:02:11.087 --> 00:02:13.223
  • Not stedfastly behold the face of moses for the glory of
  • 00:02:13.289 --> 00:02:16.226
  • Face of moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory
  • 00:02:16.292 --> 00:02:17.660
  • His countenance; which glory was to be done away. for those
  • 00:02:17.727 --> 00:02:19.495
  • Of you that don't know, this is
  • 00:02:19.562 --> 00:02:20.563
  • Of you that don't know, this is referring to moses after he had
  • 00:02:20.630 --> 00:02:22.765
  • Referring to moses after he had spent 80 days up on the mountain
  • 00:02:22.832 --> 00:02:25.268
  • Spent 80 days up on the mountain with god. when he came down, his
  • 00:02:25.335 --> 00:02:27.403
  • With god. when he came down, his face was actually glowing. he
  • 00:02:27.470 --> 00:02:29.405
  • Face was actually glowing. he was radiating light. it wasn't
  • 00:02:29.472 --> 00:02:32.075
  • Was radiating light. it wasn't coming from him, but it was
  • 00:02:32.141 --> 00:02:33.409
  • Coming from him, but it was reflecting the glory of god that
  • 00:02:33.476 --> 00:02:35.712
  • Reflecting the glory of god that he had been in for 80 days, and
  • 00:02:35.778 --> 00:02:37.780
  • He had been in for 80 days, and they had to put a veil over his
  • 00:02:37.847 --> 00:02:39.482
  • They had to put a veil over his face because the people couldn't
  • 00:02:39.549 --> 00:02:40.750
  • Face because the people couldn't stand to look at him. so it's
  • 00:02:40.817 --> 00:02:42.352
  • Stand to look at him. so it's saying, if that was glorious,
  • 00:02:42.418 --> 00:02:44.087
  • Saying, if that was glorious, which that was glorious, what we
  • 00:02:44.153 --> 00:02:46.389
  • Which that was glorious, what we have today is even better than
  • 00:02:46.456 --> 00:02:48.491
  • Have today is even better than that. it's more glorious.
  • 00:02:48.558 --> 00:02:49.959
  • In verse 8, it says, how
  • 00:02:50.026 --> 00:02:51.527
  • In verse 8, it says, how shall not the ministration of
  • 00:02:51.594 --> 00:02:53.029
  • Shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
  • 00:02:53.096 --> 00:02:54.897
  • The spirit be rather glorious? for if the ministration of
  • 00:02:54.964 --> 00:02:56.165
  • For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, and again
  • 00:02:56.232 --> 00:02:58.167
  • That's referring to the old
  • 00:02:58.234 --> 00:03:00.236
  • That's referring to the old testament law. it calls it a
  • 00:03:00.303 --> 00:03:01.704
  • Testament law. it calls it a ministration of condemnation. do
  • 00:03:01.771 --> 00:03:03.906
  • Ministration of condemnation. do you know in the new testament,
  • 00:03:03.973 --> 00:03:05.008
  • It says in romans, chapter 8,
  • 00:03:05.074 --> 00:03:06.509
  • It says in romans, chapter 8, verse 1, there is therefore now
  • 00:03:06.576 --> 00:03:08.411
  • Verse 1, there is therefore now no condemnation to them who
  • 00:03:08.478 --> 00:03:11.247
  • No condemnation to them who are in christ jesus, who walk
  • 00:03:11.314 --> 00:03:12.982
  • Are in christ jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but
  • 00:03:13.049 --> 00:03:14.117
  • Not after the flesh, but after the spirit. we are
  • 00:03:14.183 --> 00:03:15.818
  • Not supposed to be condemned,
  • 00:03:15.885 --> 00:03:17.287
  • Not supposed to be condemned, and yet the law was called
  • 00:03:17.353 --> 00:03:19.255
  • And yet the law was called a ministry of condemnation.
  • 00:03:19.322 --> 00:03:22.158
  • A ministry of condemnation. you know, condemnation is
  • 00:03:22.225 --> 00:03:23.326
  • You know, condemnation is a word that is kind of a
  • 00:03:23.393 --> 00:03:25.061
  • A word that is kind of a religious term. we don't
  • 00:03:25.128 --> 00:03:26.462
  • Religious term. we don't use it a lot today. but like
  • 00:03:26.529 --> 00:03:28.998
  • Use it a lot today. but like a building, if the thing is
  • 00:03:29.065 --> 00:03:30.633
  • A building, if the thing is unfit for use, they will say...
  • 00:03:30.700 --> 00:03:33.202
  • Unfit for use, they will say... they condemn that building.
  • 00:03:33.269 --> 00:03:35.471
  • They condemn that building. means it's unfit for use.
  • 00:03:35.538 --> 00:03:37.674
  • Means it's unfit for use. that's kind of a layman's
  • 00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:38.675
  • That's kind of a layman's definition of what this means.
  • 00:03:38.741 --> 00:03:40.076
  • Definition of what this means. if you feel unfit for use... in
  • 00:03:40.143 --> 00:03:42.578
  • If you feel unfit for use... in other words, you believe that
  • 00:03:42.645 --> 00:03:44.013
  • Other words, you believe that god answers my prayer, and
  • 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:45.615
  • God answers my prayer, and when i say that i've seen my son
  • 00:03:45.682 --> 00:03:47.383
  • When i say that i've seen my son raised from the dead, and i've
  • 00:03:47.450 --> 00:03:48.651
  • Raised from the dead, and i've seen multiple people raised from
  • 00:03:48.718 --> 00:03:50.386
  • Seen multiple people raised from the dead, and i've seen blind
  • 00:03:50.453 --> 00:03:51.688
  • The dead, and i've seen blind eyes open and deaf ears open,
  • 00:03:51.754 --> 00:03:53.856
  • Eyes open and deaf ears open, you may believe and say, well i
  • 00:03:53.923 --> 00:03:55.425
  • You may believe and say, well i believe that, but i f... i say,
  • 00:03:55.491 --> 00:03:57.226
  • Believe that, but i f... i say, all right, you pray for it, and
  • 00:03:57.293 --> 00:03:59.228
  • All right, you pray for it, and you all of a sudden feel unfit
  • 00:03:59.295 --> 00:04:01.464
  • You all of a sudden feel unfit for use, that's condemned. and
  • 00:04:01.531 --> 00:04:04.367
  • For use, that's condemned. and you know why you're condemned?
  • 00:04:04.434 --> 00:04:05.635
  • You know why you're condemned? because of the law. because you
  • 00:04:05.702 --> 00:04:07.370
  • Because of the law. because you haven't yet transitioned from
  • 00:04:07.437 --> 00:04:09.739
  • Haven't yet transitioned from trying to serve god through the
  • 00:04:09.806 --> 00:04:11.541
  • Trying to serve god through the law, through your performance,
  • 00:04:11.607 --> 00:04:13.710
  • Law, through your performance, and you aren't relating to god
  • 00:04:13.776 --> 00:04:15.545
  • And you aren't relating to god totally by grace through faith,
  • 00:04:15.611 --> 00:04:18.081
  • Totally by grace through faith, you are relating to god based
  • 00:04:18.147 --> 00:04:20.116
  • You are relating to god based on the law. the law ministered
  • 00:04:20.183 --> 00:04:22.251
  • On the law. the law ministered condemnation. so that's
  • 00:04:22.318 --> 00:04:23.986
  • Condemnation. so that's what this verse is saying.
  • 00:04:24.053 --> 00:04:25.088
  • It says, for if the ministration
  • 00:04:25.154 --> 00:04:27.590
  • It says, for if the ministration of condemnation be
  • 00:04:27.657 --> 00:04:28.791
  • Of condemnation be glory, much more doth
  • 00:04:28.858 --> 00:04:30.693
  • Glory, much more doth the ministration of
  • 00:04:30.760 --> 00:04:32.261
  • The ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
  • 00:04:32.328 --> 00:04:35.598
  • Man i could spend a week or
  • 00:04:35.665 --> 00:04:36.866
  • Man i could spend a week or two right here and just unplug
  • 00:04:36.933 --> 00:04:38.534
  • Two right here and just unplug and talk about, you become
  • 00:04:38.601 --> 00:04:40.203
  • And talk about, you become righteous, not because you've
  • 00:04:40.269 --> 00:04:41.838
  • Righteous, not because you've done everything right, but you
  • 00:04:41.904 --> 00:04:43.873
  • Done everything right, but you become righteous through
  • 00:04:43.940 --> 00:04:46.008
  • Become righteous through jesus. it says in 2 corinthians,
  • 00:04:46.075 --> 00:04:49.312
  • Jesus. it says in 2 corinthians, chapter 5; since i'm just right
  • 00:04:49.379 --> 00:04:51.147
  • Chapter 5; since i'm just right here, i'll turn over and
  • 00:04:51.214 --> 00:04:51.914
  • Read it. it says, for he hath
  • 00:04:51.981 --> 00:04:53.216
  • Read it. it says, for he hath made him to be sin for us,
  • 00:04:53.282 --> 00:04:55.818
  • Made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that
  • 00:04:55.885 --> 00:04:57.854
  • Who knew no sin; that we might be made the
  • 00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.255
  • We might be made the righteousness of god in him.
  • 00:04:59.322 --> 00:05:02.859
  • You have been made righteous.
  • 00:05:02.925 --> 00:05:04.627
  • You have been made righteous. you aren't becoming righteous.
  • 00:05:04.694 --> 00:05:06.829
  • You aren't becoming righteous. you aren't righteous based on
  • 00:05:06.896 --> 00:05:08.898
  • You aren't righteous based on how holy you live. and again,
  • 00:05:08.965 --> 00:05:10.967
  • How holy you live. and again, righteous is another religious
  • 00:05:11.033 --> 00:05:12.635
  • Righteous is another religious term that people don't use a
  • 00:05:12.702 --> 00:05:14.537
  • Term that people don't use a lot, but it just really simply
  • 00:05:14.604 --> 00:05:16.906
  • Lot, but it just really simply says right standing with god.
  • 00:05:16.973 --> 00:05:18.408
  • Says right standing with god. you don't get in right standing
  • 00:05:18.474 --> 00:05:19.976
  • You don't get in right standing with god through what you did,
  • 00:05:20.042 --> 00:05:22.278
  • With god through what you did, but through what jesus did. and
  • 00:05:22.345 --> 00:05:23.880
  • But through what jesus did. and if you'll put faith in jesus,
  • 00:05:23.946 --> 00:05:25.581
  • If you'll put faith in jesus, then his righteousness gets
  • 00:05:25.648 --> 00:05:27.316
  • Then his righteousness gets imputed unto you, and you
  • 00:05:27.383 --> 00:05:29.051
  • Imputed unto you, and you become the righteousness of
  • 00:05:29.118 --> 00:05:31.421
  • Become the righteousness of god. you'll often hear people
  • 00:05:31.487 --> 00:05:33.322
  • God. you'll often hear people say things like, all of our
  • 00:05:33.389 --> 00:05:34.924
  • Say things like, all of our righteousness is like filthy
  • 00:05:34.991 --> 00:05:37.293
  • Righteousness is like filthy rags. but did you know
  • 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.129
  • It says in 1 corinthians,
  • 00:05:40.196 --> 00:05:41.831
  • It says in 1 corinthians, chapter 1, it says, in
  • 00:05:41.898 --> 00:05:43.766
  • Chapter 1, it says, in verse 30, but of him are
  • 00:05:43.833 --> 00:05:45.601
  • Verse 30, but of him are we in christ jesus, who
  • 00:05:45.668 --> 00:05:47.203
  • We in christ jesus, who of god is made unto us
  • 00:05:47.270 --> 00:05:48.871
  • Of god is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and
  • 00:05:48.938 --> 00:05:51.674
  • Wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.
  • 00:05:51.741 --> 00:05:54.844
  • If you say that your
  • 00:05:54.911 --> 00:05:55.912
  • If you say that your righteousness is like a
  • 00:05:55.978 --> 00:05:57.046
  • Righteousness is like a filthy rag, now see, that's
  • 00:05:57.113 --> 00:05:58.247
  • Filthy rag, now see, that's the old testament law, isaiah,
  • 00:05:58.314 --> 00:05:59.882
  • The old testament law, isaiah, chapter 64, verse 6, all of our
  • 00:05:59.949 --> 00:06:02.785
  • Chapter 64, verse 6, all of our righteousness is as filthy
  • 00:06:02.852 --> 00:06:04.253
  • Righteousness is as filthy rags. that's talking about
  • 00:06:04.320 --> 00:06:05.254
  • Rags. that's talking about self-righteousness, your own
  • 00:06:05.321 --> 00:06:07.290
  • Self-righteousness, your own actions. but when you get born
  • 00:06:07.356 --> 00:06:09.592
  • Actions. but when you get born again, you were created in
  • 00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:12.195
  • Again, you were created in righteousness and true holiness.
  • 00:06:12.261 --> 00:06:13.629
  • Ephesians 4:24, says, put on
  • 00:06:13.696 --> 00:06:16.032
  • Ephesians 4:24, says, put on the new man, which after god
  • 00:06:16.098 --> 00:06:17.300
  • The new man, which after god is created in righteousness
  • 00:06:17.366 --> 00:06:19.569
  • Is created in righteousness and true holiness.
  • 00:06:19.635 --> 00:06:20.903
  • Your born-again person was
  • 00:06:20.970 --> 00:06:22.839
  • Your born-again person was made righteous, and jesus
  • 00:06:22.905 --> 00:06:25.475
  • Made righteous, and jesus becomes your righteousness.
  • 00:06:25.541 --> 00:06:26.709
  • Right here, jesus is made unto
  • 00:06:26.776 --> 00:06:28.611
  • Right here, jesus is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness,
  • 00:06:28.678 --> 00:06:30.580
  • Us wisdom, and righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
  • 00:06:30.646 --> 00:06:32.615
  • So if you say all of your
  • 00:06:32.682 --> 00:06:34.417
  • So if you say all of your righteousness is as filthy
  • 00:06:34.484 --> 00:06:36.018
  • Righteousness is as filthy rags, like isaiah 64:6, you
  • 00:06:36.085 --> 00:06:39.722
  • Rags, like isaiah 64:6, you have to be talking about
  • 00:06:39.789 --> 00:06:40.756
  • Have to be talking about self-righteousness. or if you're
  • 00:06:40.823 --> 00:06:43.392
  • Self-righteousness. or if you're talking about you as a
  • 00:06:43.459 --> 00:06:44.927
  • Talking about you as a born-again christian, your
  • 00:06:44.994 --> 00:06:46.762
  • Born-again christian, your righteousness is as filthy rags,
  • 00:06:46.829 --> 00:06:48.431
  • Righteousness is as filthy rags, you would be calling jesus a
  • 00:06:48.498 --> 00:06:50.333
  • You would be calling jesus a filthy rag, because he is now
  • 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:52.301
  • Filthy rag, because he is now your righteousness. you are the
  • 00:06:52.368 --> 00:06:54.403
  • Your righteousness. you are the righteousness of god in him, is
  • 00:06:54.470 --> 00:06:57.607
  • Righteousness of god in him, is what it says, 2 corinthians
  • 00:06:57.673 --> 00:06:58.941
  • What it says, 2 corinthians 5:21. i'm saying things right
  • 00:06:59.008 --> 00:07:02.378
  • 5:21. i'm saying things right here that are just radically
  • 00:07:02.445 --> 00:07:04.947
  • Here that are just radically opposed to religion. and i know
  • 00:07:05.014 --> 00:07:07.316
  • Opposed to religion. and i know that there's people struggling,
  • 00:07:07.383 --> 00:07:08.684
  • That there's people struggling, how can you say these things?
  • 00:07:08.751 --> 00:07:10.219
  • How can you say these things? i'm quoting scripture. i'm
  • 00:07:10.286 --> 00:07:12.688
  • I'm quoting scripture. i'm saying very few words that
  • 00:07:12.755 --> 00:07:14.357
  • Saying very few words that aren't straight out of
  • 00:07:14.423 --> 00:07:15.625
  • Aren't straight out of scripture. i'm quoting these
  • 00:07:15.691 --> 00:07:16.893
  • Scripture. i'm quoting these scriptures to you. and yet most
  • 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.061
  • Scriptures to you. and yet most people don't let the word of god
  • 00:07:19.128 --> 00:07:20.730
  • People don't let the word of god get in the way of what they
  • 00:07:20.796 --> 00:07:21.731
  • Get in the way of what they believe. they're going to
  • 00:07:21.797 --> 00:07:22.532
  • Believe. they're going to believe what they've been taught
  • 00:07:22.598 --> 00:07:24.433
  • Believe what they've been taught all of their life. no, you
  • 00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:26.369
  • All of their life. no, you become righteous, and we are
  • 00:07:26.435 --> 00:07:28.371
  • Become righteous, and we are now living under a ministry of
  • 00:07:28.437 --> 00:07:31.240
  • Now living under a ministry of righteousness, and it... and it
  • 00:07:31.307 --> 00:07:34.110
  • Righteousness, and it... and it exceeds in glory over the old
  • 00:07:34.176 --> 00:07:36.612
  • Exceeds in glory over the old testament righteousness.
  • 00:07:36.679 --> 00:07:37.914
  • In verse 10, it says, for even
  • 00:07:37.980 --> 00:07:41.183
  • In verse 10, it says, for even that which was made glorious,
  • 00:07:41.250 --> 00:07:42.785
  • That which was made glorious, talking about the old testament,
  • 00:07:42.852 --> 00:07:44.520
  • Talking about the old testament, had no glory in this respect, or
  • 00:07:44.587 --> 00:07:47.223
  • Had no glory in this respect, or you could say, compared to the
  • 00:07:47.290 --> 00:07:50.459
  • You could say, compared to the glory that now excelleth.
  • 00:07:50.526 --> 00:07:52.595
  • We now have something so
  • 00:07:52.662 --> 00:07:54.363
  • We now have something so much better. hebrews,
  • 00:07:54.430 --> 00:07:55.898
  • Much better. hebrews, chapter 8, verse 6
  • 00:07:55.965 --> 00:07:57.366
  • Says, that we have a better
  • 00:07:57.433 --> 00:07:59.835
  • Says, that we have a better covenant, established
  • 00:07:59.902 --> 00:08:01.070
  • Covenant, established upon better promises.
  • 00:08:01.137 --> 00:08:02.905
  • And he... it calls... there's a
  • 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:05.741
  • And he... it calls... there's a reason it's called the old
  • 00:08:05.808 --> 00:08:07.176
  • Reason it's called the old testament, because we have
  • 00:08:07.243 --> 00:08:08.611
  • Testament, because we have a new testament. a testament is
  • 00:08:08.678 --> 00:08:11.380
  • A new testament. a testament is like a contract or a covenant.
  • 00:08:11.447 --> 00:08:14.250
  • Like a contract or a covenant. it was a way of relating to god.
  • 00:08:14.317 --> 00:08:16.218
  • It was a way of relating to god. and there was an old testament
  • 00:08:16.285 --> 00:08:17.920
  • And there was an old testament way of relating to god that was
  • 00:08:17.987 --> 00:08:19.889
  • Way of relating to god that was based on your performance.
  • 00:08:19.956 --> 00:08:21.657
  • Based on your performance. under the new testament, your
  • 00:08:21.724 --> 00:08:23.392
  • Under the new testament, your relationship with god is based
  • 00:08:23.459 --> 00:08:25.294
  • Relationship with god is based on what jesus did and your
  • 00:08:25.361 --> 00:08:27.930
  • On what jesus did and your faith in him. if your faith is
  • 00:08:27.997 --> 00:08:30.533
  • Faith in him. if your faith is in yourself, well then you're
  • 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:32.101
  • In yourself, well then you're still under the old testament
  • 00:08:32.168 --> 00:08:33.569
  • Still under the old testament law. if your faith is in
  • 00:08:33.636 --> 00:08:35.304
  • Law. if your faith is in jesus, then you're under
  • 00:08:35.371 --> 00:08:36.472
  • Jesus, then you're under the new covenant, and
  • 00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:37.840
  • The new covenant, and it exceeds in glory.
  • 00:08:37.907 --> 00:08:39.976
  • It goes on to say in
  • 00:08:40.042 --> 00:08:41.077
  • It goes on to say in verse 11, for if that which was
  • 00:08:41.143 --> 00:08:42.745
  • Verse 11, for if that which was done away was glorious. boy the
  • 00:08:42.812 --> 00:08:44.947
  • Wording here is so important.
  • 00:08:45.014 --> 00:08:48.250
  • Wording here is so important. notice it says, that which
  • 00:08:48.317 --> 00:08:49.752
  • Notice it says, that which is done away, and every bit
  • 00:08:49.819 --> 00:08:51.621
  • Is done away, and every bit of this is talking about
  • 00:08:51.687 --> 00:08:52.488
  • Of this is talking about the old testament law.
  • 00:08:52.555 --> 00:08:53.823
  • Back in verse 7, it talks about
  • 00:08:53.889 --> 00:08:55.791
  • Back in verse 7, it talks about the ministration of death,
  • 00:08:55.858 --> 00:08:57.026
  • The ministration of death, written and engraven in
  • 00:08:57.093 --> 00:08:58.761
  • Written and engraven in stones. that was the ten
  • 00:08:58.828 --> 00:09:00.563
  • Stones. that was the ten commandments. and it says
  • 00:09:00.630 --> 00:09:02.031
  • Commandments. and it says that that has been done away.
  • 00:09:02.098 --> 00:09:04.100
  • I know that this just sounds
  • 00:09:05.901 --> 00:09:07.370
  • I know that this just sounds crazy. it sounds like heresy to
  • 00:09:07.436 --> 00:09:10.940
  • Crazy. it sounds like heresy to the average religious person,
  • 00:09:11.007 --> 00:09:12.475
  • The average religious person, because the average religious...
  • 00:09:12.541 --> 00:09:14.043
  • Because the average religious... religious person has not entered
  • 00:09:14.110 --> 00:09:16.612
  • Religious person has not entered into the new covenant fully. now
  • 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.281
  • Into the new covenant fully. now you may have gotten born again,
  • 00:09:19.348 --> 00:09:20.883
  • You may have gotten born again, but then as soon as you're born
  • 00:09:20.950 --> 00:09:22.351
  • But then as soon as you're born again you go back under the law
  • 00:09:22.418 --> 00:09:24.153
  • Again you go back under the law thinking that you got to please
  • 00:09:24.220 --> 00:09:25.554
  • Thinking that you got to please god through all of these things
  • 00:09:25.621 --> 00:09:27.256
  • God through all of these things that you do, and that's what
  • 00:09:27.323 --> 00:09:28.758
  • That you do, and that's what brings death, that's what
  • 00:09:28.824 --> 00:09:30.459
  • Brings death, that's what brings condemnation. and it
  • 00:09:30.526 --> 00:09:34.163
  • Brings condemnation. and it says that it has been done away.
  • 00:09:34.230 --> 00:09:36.699
  • It says, for if that which is
  • 00:09:36.766 --> 00:09:39.235
  • It says, for if that which is done away was glorious,
  • 00:09:39.301 --> 00:09:41.303
  • Done away was glorious, much more doth that
  • 00:09:41.370 --> 00:09:42.538
  • Much more doth that which remaineth is glorious.
  • 00:09:42.605 --> 00:09:45.174
  • Which remaineth is glorious. and then in verse 12, seeing
  • 00:09:45.241 --> 00:09:46.676
  • And then in verse 12, seeing then that we have such hope,
  • 00:09:46.742 --> 00:09:48.044
  • Then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of
  • 00:09:48.110 --> 00:09:49.779
  • We use great plainness of speech: and not as moses,
  • 00:09:49.845 --> 00:09:51.881
  • Speech: and not as moses, which put a vail over his
  • 00:09:51.947 --> 00:09:53.349
  • Which put a vail over his face, the children of israel
  • 00:09:53.416 --> 00:09:55.117
  • Face, the children of israel could not stedfastly look to
  • 00:09:55.184 --> 00:09:57.520
  • Could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is
  • 00:09:57.586 --> 00:09:58.754
  • The end of that which is abolished: but their minds
  • 00:09:58.821 --> 00:10:00.589
  • Abolished: but their minds were blinded: for until this day
  • 00:10:00.656 --> 00:10:02.625
  • Were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken
  • 00:10:02.692 --> 00:10:04.960
  • Remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the
  • 00:10:05.027 --> 00:10:06.962
  • Away in the reading of the old testament; which vail
  • 00:10:07.029 --> 00:10:08.631
  • Old testament; which vail is done away in christ.
  • 00:10:08.698 --> 00:10:10.800
  • Boy this is so powerful. it says
  • 00:10:10.866 --> 00:10:12.501
  • Boy this is so powerful. it says that moses, he was the man that
  • 00:10:12.568 --> 00:10:14.403
  • That moses, he was the man that brought the law into being,
  • 00:10:14.470 --> 00:10:16.105
  • Brought the law into being, and it was glorious. it was so
  • 00:10:16.172 --> 00:10:17.807
  • And it was glorious. it was so glorious that when he came
  • 00:10:17.873 --> 00:10:18.974
  • Glorious that when he came down from spending 80 days
  • 00:10:19.041 --> 00:10:21.043
  • Down from spending 80 days in the presence of god, his face
  • 00:10:21.110 --> 00:10:22.812
  • In the presence of god, his face was actually shining, and it
  • 00:10:22.878 --> 00:10:24.914
  • Was actually shining, and it scared people so much they
  • 00:10:24.980 --> 00:10:26.282
  • Scared people so much they couldn't talk to him, and he had
  • 00:10:26.348 --> 00:10:27.416
  • Couldn't talk to him, and he had to put a veil over his face to
  • 00:10:27.483 --> 00:10:30.252
  • To put a veil over his face to keep them from being intimidated
  • 00:10:30.319 --> 00:10:33.189
  • Keep them from being intimidated by him. that's the way it was
  • 00:10:33.255 --> 00:10:34.857
  • By him. that's the way it was under the old testament. but
  • 00:10:34.924 --> 00:10:36.625
  • Under the old testament. but under the new testament,
  • 00:10:36.692 --> 00:10:38.494
  • Under the new testament, the veil is now removed,
  • 00:10:38.561 --> 00:10:40.162
  • The veil is now removed, and we actually have the glory
  • 00:10:40.229 --> 00:10:42.498
  • And we actually have the glory of god. we have something that
  • 00:10:42.565 --> 00:10:43.799
  • Of god. we have something that is much greater than what
  • 00:10:43.866 --> 00:10:45.101
  • Is much greater than what moses had. and it says... it
  • 00:10:45.167 --> 00:10:48.671
  • Moses had. and it says... it just continues to amplify this.
  • 00:10:48.738 --> 00:10:51.073
  • It says in verse 15, even unto
  • 00:10:51.140 --> 00:10:53.676
  • It says in verse 15, even unto this day, when moses is read,
  • 00:10:53.743 --> 00:10:55.444
  • This day, when moses is read, the vail is upon their face. the
  • 00:10:55.511 --> 00:10:57.113
  • Veil is talking about the law.
  • 00:10:57.179 --> 00:10:58.681
  • Veil is talking about the law. the law is what kept us from
  • 00:10:58.748 --> 00:11:00.583
  • The law is what kept us from seeing the full glory of god.
  • 00:11:00.649 --> 00:11:02.852
  • Seeing the full glory of god. it had a measure of glory, but
  • 00:11:02.918 --> 00:11:05.121
  • It had a measure of glory, but nothing compared to what jesus
  • 00:11:05.187 --> 00:11:06.889
  • Nothing compared to what jesus did. jesus manifested the glory
  • 00:11:06.956 --> 00:11:08.824
  • Did. jesus manifested the glory of god so much better. so under
  • 00:11:08.891 --> 00:11:11.060
  • Of god so much better. so under the old testament, they had to
  • 00:11:11.127 --> 00:11:12.361
  • The old testament, they had to put a veil over moses' face. and
  • 00:11:12.428 --> 00:11:14.263
  • Put a veil over moses' face. and that veil, it says in the next
  • 00:11:14.330 --> 00:11:16.332
  • That veil, it says in the next verse, is still on them unto
  • 00:11:16.398 --> 00:11:20.302
  • Verse, is still on them unto this day when they read
  • 00:11:20.369 --> 00:11:22.004
  • This day when they read the old testament law.
  • 00:11:22.071 --> 00:11:23.339
  • And it says in verse 16,
  • 00:11:23.405 --> 00:11:25.007
  • And it says in verse 16, nevertheless when it shall
  • 00:11:25.074 --> 00:11:26.242
  • Nevertheless when it shall turn to the lord, the vail
  • 00:11:26.308 --> 00:11:27.777
  • Turn to the lord, the vail shall be taken away. talking
  • 00:11:27.843 --> 00:11:29.245
  • Shall be taken away. talking about the old testament law.
  • 00:11:29.311 --> 00:11:30.713
  • About the old testament law. when your heart turns to
  • 00:11:30.780 --> 00:11:32.047
  • When your heart turns to the lord, the veil is removed.
  • 00:11:32.114 --> 00:11:34.750
  • The lord, the veil is removed. now the lord is that spirit:
  • 00:11:34.817 --> 00:11:37.019
  • Now the lord is that spirit: and where the spirit of
  • 00:11:37.086 --> 00:11:37.953
  • And where the spirit of the lord is, there is liberty.
  • 00:11:38.020 --> 00:11:39.355
  • The lord is, there is liberty. but we all, with open face,
  • 00:11:39.421 --> 00:11:42.291
  • That's talking about
  • 00:11:42.358 --> 00:11:43.125
  • That's talking about that no veil, no law, no
  • 00:11:43.192 --> 00:11:45.461
  • That no veil, no law, no performance-based thing,
  • 00:11:45.528 --> 00:11:47.396
  • Performance-based thing, that god, i've got to do this
  • 00:11:47.463 --> 00:11:49.031
  • That god, i've got to do this and this and this to be good
  • 00:11:49.098 --> 00:11:50.366
  • And this and this to be good enough for you to love me.
  • 00:11:50.432 --> 00:11:51.801
  • Enough for you to love me. when you get away from that
  • 00:11:51.867 --> 00:11:53.269
  • When you get away from that and you start relating to
  • 00:11:53.335 --> 00:11:54.403
  • And you start relating to god based totally on what
  • 00:11:54.470 --> 00:11:56.605
  • God based totally on what he did for you and not
  • 00:11:56.672 --> 00:11:57.807
  • He did for you and not what you do for him,
  • 00:11:57.873 --> 00:11:58.941
  • Then we with open face, without
  • 00:11:59.008 --> 00:12:01.944
  • Then we with open face, without this law, beholding as in a
  • 00:12:02.011 --> 00:12:04.146
  • This law, beholding as in a glass the glory of the lord.
  • 00:12:04.213 --> 00:12:06.415
  • The glass here is talking about
  • 00:12:06.482 --> 00:12:07.817
  • The glass here is talking about a mirror. man, this... again
  • 00:12:07.883 --> 00:12:11.420
  • A mirror. man, this... again this is just so deep, it is so
  • 00:12:11.487 --> 00:12:13.355
  • This is just so deep, it is so detailed that most people
  • 00:12:13.422 --> 00:12:14.990
  • Detailed that most people just struggle with this.
  • 00:12:15.057 --> 00:12:16.392
  • Just struggle with this. i could spend literally multiple
  • 00:12:16.458 --> 00:12:18.727
  • I could spend literally multiple programs trying to say this,
  • 00:12:18.794 --> 00:12:20.129
  • Programs trying to say this, but a glass is talking about
  • 00:12:20.196 --> 00:12:22.364
  • But a glass is talking about a mirror. and a mirror shows
  • 00:12:22.431 --> 00:12:24.633
  • A mirror. and a mirror shows you who you are. and if you
  • 00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:27.636
  • You who you are. and if you were to take the veil, the law
  • 00:12:27.703 --> 00:12:30.005
  • Were to take the veil, the law away, this performance-based
  • 00:12:30.072 --> 00:12:31.774
  • Away, this performance-based thing that told you about
  • 00:12:31.841 --> 00:12:33.108
  • Thing that told you about everything that's wrong with you
  • 00:12:33.175 --> 00:12:34.577
  • Everything that's wrong with you and how you are unholy, and god
  • 00:12:34.643 --> 00:12:36.979
  • And how you are unholy, and god is holy, and... and if you took
  • 00:12:37.046 --> 00:12:38.547
  • Is holy, and... and if you took that law mentality away, and if
  • 00:12:38.614 --> 00:12:41.116
  • That law mentality away, and if you looked in the perfect law of
  • 00:12:41.183 --> 00:12:42.885
  • You looked in the perfect law of liberty, which james, chapter 1
  • 00:12:42.952 --> 00:12:44.687
  • Liberty, which james, chapter 1 says, is like a mirror, and you
  • 00:12:44.753 --> 00:12:46.655
  • Says, is like a mirror, and you look... you would see the glory
  • 00:12:46.722 --> 00:12:48.390
  • Look... you would see the glory of god in you. when you get
  • 00:12:48.457 --> 00:12:50.693
  • Of god in you. when you get born again, you become the
  • 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:52.661
  • Born again, you become the righteousness of god. and again,
  • 00:12:52.728 --> 00:12:55.898
  • Righteousness of god. and again, i know that some of the things
  • 00:12:55.965 --> 00:12:56.966
  • I know that some of the things i'm saying are so offensive to
  • 00:12:57.032 --> 00:12:59.368
  • I'm saying are so offensive to people that you just feel like,
  • 00:12:59.435 --> 00:13:01.070
  • People that you just feel like, man, you're going to get struck
  • 00:13:01.136 --> 00:13:02.304
  • Man, you're going to get struck with lightning for saying this,
  • 00:13:02.371 --> 00:13:03.572
  • With lightning for saying this, but i'm reading scripture to
  • 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.074
  • But i'm reading scripture to you. did you know when the lord
  • 00:13:05.140 --> 00:13:07.209
  • You. did you know when the lord first showed this to me, i don't
  • 00:13:07.276 --> 00:13:09.378
  • First showed this to me, i don't have time to go into everything,
  • 00:13:09.445 --> 00:13:10.846
  • Have time to go into everything, but when i... i was born again
  • 00:13:10.913 --> 00:13:12.348
  • But when i... i was born again at 8. when i was 18 i had this
  • 00:13:12.414 --> 00:13:14.783
  • At 8. when i was 18 i had this miraculous encounter with the
  • 00:13:14.850 --> 00:13:16.151
  • Miraculous encounter with the lord, and i saw the glory of
  • 00:13:16.218 --> 00:13:17.753
  • Lord, and i saw the glory of god, and i saw my relative
  • 00:13:17.820 --> 00:13:20.189
  • God, and i saw my relative unworthiness. and when i saw
  • 00:13:20.256 --> 00:13:22.491
  • Unworthiness. and when i saw that, man i humbled myself, i
  • 00:13:22.558 --> 00:13:24.360
  • That, man i humbled myself, i threw myself on the mercy of
  • 00:13:24.426 --> 00:13:25.961
  • Threw myself on the mercy of god, and to my surprise, mercy
  • 00:13:26.028 --> 00:13:29.331
  • God, and to my surprise, mercy and grace and love just
  • 00:13:29.398 --> 00:13:31.100
  • And grace and love just overwhelmed me. for four
  • 00:13:31.166 --> 00:13:32.368
  • Overwhelmed me. for four and a half months i was caught
  • 00:13:32.434 --> 00:13:33.869
  • And a half months i was caught up in the presence of god,
  • 00:13:33.936 --> 00:13:35.971
  • Up in the presence of god, and i was just experiencing
  • 00:13:36.038 --> 00:13:37.673
  • And i was just experiencing an unconditional love that
  • 00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:40.576
  • An unconditional love that radically changed my life. but
  • 00:13:40.643 --> 00:13:44.213
  • Radically changed my life. but after the emotion wore off
  • 00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:45.948
  • After the emotion wore off after four and a half months,
  • 00:13:46.015 --> 00:13:47.783
  • After four and a half months, i started trying to understand
  • 00:13:47.850 --> 00:13:49.618
  • I started trying to understand what had happened to me, and
  • 00:13:49.685 --> 00:13:51.353
  • What had happened to me, and i was still under the law. i was
  • 00:13:51.420 --> 00:13:53.422
  • I was still under the law. i was still thinking that god would
  • 00:13:53.489 --> 00:13:54.823
  • Still thinking that god would love me when i did everything
  • 00:13:54.890 --> 00:13:56.125
  • Love me when i did everything right, and for the first time
  • 00:13:56.191 --> 00:13:57.426
  • Right, and for the first time in my life, i realized i hadn't
  • 00:13:57.493 --> 00:13:59.561
  • In my life, i realized i hadn't done anything right, and i just
  • 00:13:59.628 --> 00:14:01.563
  • Done anything right, and i just totally repented of anything
  • 00:14:01.630 --> 00:14:03.399
  • Totally repented of anything i had or would ever do. and
  • 00:14:03.465 --> 00:14:06.535
  • I had or would ever do. and i just threw myself on the
  • 00:14:06.602 --> 00:14:07.670
  • I just threw myself on the mercy of god, and that's when i
  • 00:14:07.736 --> 00:14:08.904
  • Mercy of god, and that's when i experienced all of this goodness
  • 00:14:08.971 --> 00:14:11.006
  • Experienced all of this goodness and grace of god. and so it was
  • 00:14:11.073 --> 00:14:12.474
  • And grace of god. and so it was wonderful, but after the emotion
  • 00:14:12.541 --> 00:14:14.677
  • Wonderful, but after the emotion wore off, i was trying to figure
  • 00:14:14.743 --> 00:14:15.844
  • Wore off, i was trying to figure out how does this work? how
  • 00:14:15.911 --> 00:14:17.513
  • Out how does this work? how could god love somebody like me?
  • 00:14:17.579 --> 00:14:20.582
  • Could god love somebody like me? and i remember, after i got out
  • 00:14:20.649 --> 00:14:22.284
  • And i remember, after i got out of vietnam, i had been studying
  • 00:14:22.351 --> 00:14:23.786
  • Of vietnam, i had been studying the word, and i was beginning
  • 00:14:23.852 --> 00:14:24.987
  • The word, and i was beginning to get little bits and pieces of
  • 00:14:25.054 --> 00:14:26.855
  • To get little bits and pieces of this, but i just couldn't seem
  • 00:14:26.922 --> 00:14:28.223
  • This, but i just couldn't seem to fit them together. and i
  • 00:14:28.290 --> 00:14:30.225
  • To fit them together. and i went to a bible study that was
  • 00:14:30.292 --> 00:14:32.728
  • Went to a bible study that was conducted by a woman, and in the
  • 00:14:32.795 --> 00:14:36.632
  • Conducted by a woman, and in the baptist church, you were taught
  • 00:14:36.699 --> 00:14:38.267
  • Baptist church, you were taught that women couldn't teach men.
  • 00:14:38.334 --> 00:14:39.935
  • That women couldn't teach men. now women could teach little
  • 00:14:40.002 --> 00:14:41.337
  • Now women could teach little children, male children, but you
  • 00:14:41.403 --> 00:14:43.405
  • Children, male children, but you couldn't teach men. and so i had
  • 00:14:43.472 --> 00:14:45.407
  • Couldn't teach men. and so i had a prejudice against women
  • 00:14:45.474 --> 00:14:47.176
  • A prejudice against women preachers. so i went to this
  • 00:14:47.242 --> 00:14:50.045
  • Preachers. so i went to this bible study because i was just
  • 00:14:50.112 --> 00:14:51.814
  • Bible study because i was just so hungry to figure this out,
  • 00:14:51.880 --> 00:14:53.315
  • So hungry to figure this out, and i was hearing awesome things
  • 00:14:53.382 --> 00:14:55.284
  • And i was hearing awesome things about was... what was happening
  • 00:14:55.351 --> 00:14:56.652
  • About was... what was happening at this bible study. so i went,
  • 00:14:56.719 --> 00:14:58.287
  • At this bible study. so i went, but when i saw that a woman was
  • 00:14:58.354 --> 00:15:00.356
  • But when i saw that a woman was teaching the bible study,
  • 00:15:00.422 --> 00:15:01.623
  • Immediately i already was
  • 00:15:03.258 --> 00:15:05.894
  • Immediately i already was offended. and then they had...
  • 00:15:05.961 --> 00:15:08.263
  • Offended. and then they had... this is back... this would
  • 00:15:08.330 --> 00:15:09.698
  • This is back... this would have been in 1971 or '72... '72.
  • 00:15:09.765 --> 00:15:11.000
  • And this is back when hippies
  • 00:15:13.836 --> 00:15:15.604
  • And this is back when hippies were just you know becoming
  • 00:15:15.671 --> 00:15:17.473
  • Were just you know becoming popular, and guys were wearing
  • 00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:19.174
  • Popular, and guys were wearing their hair long and... and
  • 00:15:19.241 --> 00:15:21.744
  • Their hair long and... and wearing dirty clothes and not
  • 00:15:21.810 --> 00:15:23.779
  • Wearing dirty clothes and not wearing shoes and... and just
  • 00:15:23.846 --> 00:15:25.748
  • Wearing shoes and... and just all of the flower-power stuff.
  • 00:15:25.814 --> 00:15:27.950
  • All of the flower-power stuff. and i was raised in a baptist
  • 00:15:28.017 --> 00:15:29.685
  • And i was raised in a baptist church that if your hair
  • 00:15:29.752 --> 00:15:30.786
  • Church that if your hair ever touched your collar
  • 00:15:30.853 --> 00:15:32.688
  • Ever touched your collar you go directly to hell. you
  • 00:15:32.755 --> 00:15:34.723
  • You go directly to hell. you don't pass go. you couldn't
  • 00:15:34.790 --> 00:15:36.058
  • Don't pass go. you couldn't have long hair as a man.
  • 00:15:36.125 --> 00:15:37.760
  • Have long hair as a man. so i... i went to this bible
  • 00:15:37.826 --> 00:15:39.294
  • So i... i went to this bible study, a woman was teaching
  • 00:15:39.361 --> 00:15:40.496
  • Study, a woman was teaching it, there were hippies there,
  • 00:15:40.562 --> 00:15:42.097
  • It, there were hippies there, but i thought i was being very
  • 00:15:42.164 --> 00:15:43.799
  • But i thought i was being very gracious by not saying anything
  • 00:15:43.866 --> 00:15:45.901
  • Gracious by not saying anything and trying to look past that and
  • 00:15:45.968 --> 00:15:47.669
  • And trying to look past that and just figuring out what they were
  • 00:15:47.736 --> 00:15:49.471
  • Just figuring out what they were saying. and they got to teaching
  • 00:15:49.538 --> 00:15:51.874
  • Saying. and they got to teaching on being the righteousness
  • 00:15:51.940 --> 00:15:53.609
  • On being the righteousness of god. and, i mean, i had...
  • 00:15:53.675 --> 00:15:58.781
  • Of god. and, i mean, i had... i felt like i had been pretty
  • 00:15:58.847 --> 00:16:00.449
  • I felt like i had been pretty gracious up until that time,
  • 00:16:00.516 --> 00:16:01.784
  • Gracious up until that time, but man, anybody could tell
  • 00:16:01.850 --> 00:16:03.085
  • But man, anybody could tell by looking at them, they had
  • 00:16:03.152 --> 00:16:04.153
  • By looking at them, they had long hair, they were dirty,
  • 00:16:04.219 --> 00:16:05.421
  • Long hair, they were dirty, they stunk, and here they
  • 00:16:05.487 --> 00:16:07.523
  • They stunk, and here they were saying that they were
  • 00:16:07.589 --> 00:16:08.590
  • Were saying that they were righteous, that they were
  • 00:16:08.657 --> 00:16:09.758
  • Righteous, that they were in right standing with god.
  • 00:16:09.825 --> 00:16:11.794
  • In right standing with god. and man, i just couldn't take
  • 00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:13.162
  • And man, i just couldn't take it any longer. and i stood
  • 00:16:13.228 --> 00:16:14.363
  • It any longer. and i stood up and quoted my three
  • 00:16:14.430 --> 00:16:15.597
  • Up and quoted my three scriptures, isaiah 64:6, all
  • 00:16:15.664 --> 00:16:18.333
  • Scriptures, isaiah 64:6, all our righteousness is like filthy
  • 00:16:18.400 --> 00:16:20.202
  • Our righteousness is like filthy rags, all have sinned, and come
  • 00:16:20.269 --> 00:16:21.737
  • Rags, all have sinned, and come short of the glory of god, there
  • 00:16:21.804 --> 00:16:23.872
  • Short of the glory of god, there is none righteous, no, not one.
  • 00:16:23.939 --> 00:16:26.208
  • Is none righteous, no, not one. and i whooped those scriptures
  • 00:16:26.275 --> 00:16:27.609
  • And i whooped those scriptures out on them, and just waited to
  • 00:16:27.676 --> 00:16:29.545
  • Out on them, and just waited to see how they respond. and to
  • 00:16:29.611 --> 00:16:31.313
  • See how they respond. and to my surprise, instead of getting
  • 00:16:31.380 --> 00:16:33.182
  • My surprise, instead of getting angry at me and responding in
  • 00:16:33.248 --> 00:16:35.150
  • Angry at me and responding in the flesh the way that i thought
  • 00:16:35.217 --> 00:16:37.252
  • The flesh the way that i thought they would, because i thought
  • 00:16:37.319 --> 00:16:38.287
  • They would, because i thought there's no way that these people
  • 00:16:38.353 --> 00:16:39.588
  • There's no way that these people could have a relationship with
  • 00:16:39.655 --> 00:16:40.956
  • Could have a relationship with god because they... they're
  • 00:16:41.023 --> 00:16:42.558
  • God because they... they're hippies. and i just... i was
  • 00:16:42.624 --> 00:16:46.095
  • Hippies. and i just... i was shocked. instead of them having
  • 00:16:46.161 --> 00:16:47.996
  • Shocked. instead of them having some carnal response, they
  • 00:16:48.063 --> 00:16:50.065
  • Some carnal response, they showed so much love towards
  • 00:16:50.132 --> 00:16:51.867
  • Showed so much love towards me. and they said, we understand
  • 00:16:51.934 --> 00:16:54.136
  • Me. and they said, we understand exactly what you're saying.
  • 00:16:54.203 --> 00:16:55.337
  • Exactly what you're saying. we've been taught the same
  • 00:16:55.404 --> 00:16:56.605
  • We've been taught the same thing. and then for every
  • 00:16:56.672 --> 00:16:57.973
  • Thing. and then for every one scripture that i quoted,
  • 00:16:58.040 --> 00:17:00.576
  • One scripture that i quoted, they quoted five or six
  • 00:17:00.642 --> 00:17:02.611
  • They quoted five or six scriptures that said...
  • 00:17:02.678 --> 00:17:04.413
  • Like ephesians, chapter 4,verse
  • 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:06.915
  • Like ephesians, chapter 4,verse 24, put on the new man, which
  • 00:17:06.982 --> 00:17:08.984
  • 24, put on the new man, which after god is created in
  • 00:17:09.051 --> 00:17:11.320
  • After god is created in righteousness and true
  • 00:17:11.386 --> 00:17:13.255
  • Righteousness and true holiness, that he made him
  • 00:17:13.322 --> 00:17:16.125
  • Holiness, that he made him who knew no sin, to be made sin
  • 00:17:16.191 --> 00:17:18.494
  • Who knew no sin, to be made sin for us; that we might be made
  • 00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:20.062
  • For us; that we might be made the righteousness of god, 2
  • 00:17:20.129 --> 00:17:21.630
  • The righteousness of god, 2 corinthians 5:21. and then
  • 00:17:21.697 --> 00:17:23.932
  • Corinthians 5:21. and then philippians, chapter 3, be found
  • 00:17:23.999 --> 00:17:26.001
  • Philippians, chapter 3, be found in him, not having my own
  • 00:17:26.068 --> 00:17:27.603
  • In him, not having my own righteousness, which is the
  • 00:17:27.669 --> 00:17:28.737
  • Righteousness, which is the law, but the righteousness
  • 00:17:28.804 --> 00:17:30.105
  • Law, but the righteousness which is of god by faith.
  • 00:17:30.172 --> 00:17:31.940
  • And they just started sharing
  • 00:17:32.007 --> 00:17:33.242
  • And they just started sharing scripture with me, and it
  • 00:17:33.308 --> 00:17:35.511
  • Scripture with me, and it overwhelmed me. and i wasn't
  • 00:17:35.577 --> 00:17:37.946
  • Overwhelmed me. and i wasn't convinced right then, but i knew
  • 00:17:38.013 --> 00:17:40.315
  • Convinced right then, but i knew that i wasn't seeing the whole
  • 00:17:40.382 --> 00:17:41.850
  • That i wasn't seeing the whole thing, and i went home, and i
  • 00:17:41.917 --> 00:17:44.019
  • Thing, and i went home, and i studied for a whole week. i
  • 00:17:44.086 --> 00:17:46.188
  • Studied for a whole week. i fasted all week long. i didn't
  • 00:17:46.255 --> 00:17:48.357
  • Fasted all week long. i didn't eat anything, because man, i was
  • 00:17:48.423 --> 00:17:49.925
  • Eat anything, because man, i was focused on this and i wanted to
  • 00:17:49.992 --> 00:17:51.627
  • Focused on this and i wanted to know the truth. and i looked
  • 00:17:51.693 --> 00:17:53.762
  • Know the truth. and i looked up every time that the word
  • 00:17:53.829 --> 00:17:55.764
  • Up every time that the word righteous, righteousness,
  • 00:17:55.831 --> 00:17:57.666
  • Righteous, righteousness, righteousness says was used in
  • 00:17:57.733 --> 00:18:00.035
  • Righteousness says was used in the bible, and there's thousands
  • 00:18:00.102 --> 00:18:01.470
  • The bible, and there's thousands of times. and i wrote every one
  • 00:18:01.537 --> 00:18:03.672
  • Of times. and i wrote every one out for a solid week. i spent 10
  • 00:18:03.739 --> 00:18:05.674
  • Out for a solid week. i spent 10 to 15 hours a day studying this.
  • 00:18:05.741 --> 00:18:08.677
  • To 15 hours a day studying this. and at the end of that week, i
  • 00:18:08.744 --> 00:18:10.812
  • And at the end of that week, i was convinced based on what the
  • 00:18:10.879 --> 00:18:12.381
  • Was convinced based on what the bible said that i was righteous.
  • 00:18:12.447 --> 00:18:14.516
  • Bible said that i was righteous. i couldn't see it, i didn't feel
  • 00:18:14.583 --> 00:18:16.418
  • I couldn't see it, i didn't feel it, but that's exactly what
  • 00:18:16.485 --> 00:18:18.287
  • It, but that's exactly what the bible says. and i mean, i
  • 00:18:18.353 --> 00:18:19.721
  • The bible says. and i mean, i studied it out. and you know
  • 00:18:19.788 --> 00:18:21.490
  • Studied it out. and you know one of the ways that it kind of
  • 00:18:21.557 --> 00:18:22.791
  • One of the ways that it kind of dropped from my head into my
  • 00:18:22.858 --> 00:18:24.459
  • Dropped from my head into my heart, was after i'd studied all
  • 00:18:24.526 --> 00:18:26.695
  • Heart, was after i'd studied all of these things, and i was just
  • 00:18:26.762 --> 00:18:28.063
  • Of these things, and i was just struggling, god, i see it, but
  • 00:18:28.130 --> 00:18:29.698
  • Struggling, god, i see it, but how could you call me righteous?
  • 00:18:29.765 --> 00:18:32.834
  • How could you call me righteous? it was because i was only
  • 00:18:32.901 --> 00:18:34.570
  • It was because i was only looking on the physical. i
  • 00:18:34.636 --> 00:18:35.804
  • Looking on the physical. i wasn't recognizing that it's
  • 00:18:35.871 --> 00:18:37.372
  • Wasn't recognizing that it's the spirit part of me that was
  • 00:18:37.439 --> 00:18:38.707
  • The spirit part of me that was born again. but right after i'd
  • 00:18:38.774 --> 00:18:40.742
  • Born again. but right after i'd read all of these things, i... i
  • 00:18:40.809 --> 00:18:43.111
  • Read all of these things, i... i walked out into my backyard, and
  • 00:18:43.178 --> 00:18:45.247
  • Walked out into my backyard, and i had a dog that i had bought
  • 00:18:45.314 --> 00:18:46.815
  • I had a dog that i had bought for my mother while i went
  • 00:18:46.882 --> 00:18:48.750
  • For my mother while i went to vietnam, and it was a 3/4
  • 00:18:48.817 --> 00:18:50.586
  • To vietnam, and it was a 3/4 shepherd and 1/4th chow, and
  • 00:18:50.652 --> 00:18:52.221
  • Shepherd and 1/4th chow, and it was a big dog, a female dog,
  • 00:18:52.287 --> 00:18:54.957
  • It was a big dog, a female dog, and it looked tough and it
  • 00:18:55.023 --> 00:18:56.191
  • And it looked tough and it could bark, and i mean, it
  • 00:18:56.258 --> 00:18:57.626
  • Could bark, and i mean, it was intimidating looking. but
  • 00:18:57.693 --> 00:18:59.528
  • Was intimidating looking. but whoever had that dog before we
  • 00:18:59.595 --> 00:19:01.263
  • Whoever had that dog before we got it must have beat it, and as
  • 00:19:01.330 --> 00:19:03.565
  • Got it must have beat it, and as a result, every time that dog
  • 00:19:03.632 --> 00:19:05.200
  • A result, every time that dog would come to you... it was this
  • 00:19:05.267 --> 00:19:06.935
  • Would come to you... it was this big dog, it looked mean, but
  • 00:19:07.002 --> 00:19:08.704
  • Big dog, it looked mean, but we'd get about five feet away
  • 00:19:08.770 --> 00:19:10.239
  • We'd get about five feet away and it'd roll over on its side
  • 00:19:10.305 --> 00:19:11.740
  • And it'd roll over on its side and go to whimpering and just
  • 00:19:11.807 --> 00:19:13.075
  • And go to whimpering and just scoot up to you, afraid that you
  • 00:19:13.141 --> 00:19:15.043
  • Scoot up to you, afraid that you were going to hit it. and so
  • 00:19:15.110 --> 00:19:16.979
  • Were going to hit it. and so anyway, i'd been meditating
  • 00:19:17.045 --> 00:19:18.313
  • Anyway, i'd been meditating on all of these verses, and i
  • 00:19:18.380 --> 00:19:19.548
  • On all of these verses, and i walked out into the backyard,
  • 00:19:19.615 --> 00:19:20.782
  • Walked out into the backyard, here comes my dog. and this dog
  • 00:19:20.849 --> 00:19:22.851
  • Here comes my dog. and this dog was named honey because it
  • 00:19:22.918 --> 00:19:24.253
  • Was named honey because it looked like honey. you know, i
  • 00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:25.988
  • Looked like honey. you know, i found out later that abraham
  • 00:19:26.054 --> 00:19:28.223
  • Found out later that abraham lincoln, he had a dog just like
  • 00:19:28.290 --> 00:19:29.992
  • Lincoln, he had a dog just like that, and he named it honey. so
  • 00:19:30.058 --> 00:19:31.893
  • That, and he named it honey. so anyway, this dog comes running,
  • 00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:33.762
  • Anyway, this dog comes running, and i just lost my temper with
  • 00:19:33.829 --> 00:19:35.597
  • And i just lost my temper with this dog. and i said, honey, one
  • 00:19:35.664 --> 00:19:37.933
  • This dog. and i said, honey, one time i'd like you to act like i
  • 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:39.735
  • Time i'd like you to act like i don't beat you, just come and
  • 00:19:39.801 --> 00:19:41.336
  • Don't beat you, just come and jump on me like a normal dog.
  • 00:19:41.403 --> 00:19:43.171
  • Jump on me like a normal dog. i said, you treat like... you...
  • 00:19:43.238 --> 00:19:44.906
  • I said, you treat like... you... you act like i've mistreated
  • 00:19:44.973 --> 00:19:46.375
  • You act like i've mistreated you, like i've done these
  • 00:19:46.441 --> 00:19:47.442
  • You, like i've done these things, and i haven't done
  • 00:19:47.509 --> 00:19:48.944
  • Things, and i haven't done any of that to you. and
  • 00:19:49.011 --> 00:19:50.812
  • Any of that to you. and while i was reading this
  • 00:19:50.879 --> 00:19:51.980
  • While i was reading this dog the riot act, the lord
  • 00:19:52.047 --> 00:19:53.415
  • Dog the riot act, the lord just spoke to me and he says,
  • 00:19:53.482 --> 00:19:54.750
  • Just spoke to me and he says, andrew, that's exactly the way i
  • 00:19:54.816 --> 00:19:56.485
  • Andrew, that's exactly the way i feel about you. he said, i died,
  • 00:19:56.551 --> 00:20:00.155
  • Feel about you. he said, i died, made you the righteousness of
  • 00:20:00.222 --> 00:20:01.723
  • Made you the righteousness of god, all of these scriptures i'd
  • 00:20:01.790 --> 00:20:03.125
  • God, all of these scriptures i'd been studying, but you just have
  • 00:20:03.191 --> 00:20:04.660
  • Been studying, but you just have this sin consciousness. you come
  • 00:20:04.726 --> 00:20:06.428
  • This sin consciousness. you come before me, and every time you
  • 00:20:06.495 --> 00:20:07.663
  • Before me, and every time you come into prayer, the first
  • 00:20:07.729 --> 00:20:09.298
  • Come into prayer, the first thing you do is, oh god, i'm so
  • 00:20:09.364 --> 00:20:10.866
  • Thing you do is, oh god, i'm so unworthy, god, i'm so sorry,
  • 00:20:10.932 --> 00:20:12.634
  • Unworthy, god, i'm so sorry, i know that i don't deserve
  • 00:20:12.701 --> 00:20:14.002
  • I know that i don't deserve anything. he said, just one time
  • 00:20:14.069 --> 00:20:16.104
  • Anything. he said, just one time i'd like you to act like i have
  • 00:20:16.171 --> 00:20:17.673
  • I'd like you to act like i have forgiven you and that you
  • 00:20:17.739 --> 00:20:19.541
  • Forgiven you and that you weren't sin conscious and
  • 00:20:19.608 --> 00:20:20.976
  • Weren't sin conscious and you weren't under all this
  • 00:20:21.043 --> 00:20:22.010
  • You weren't under all this condemnation. boy, it was a
  • 00:20:22.077 --> 00:20:24.479
  • Condemnation. boy, it was a graphic illustration. i can
  • 00:20:24.546 --> 00:20:25.981
  • Graphic illustration. i can still vividly remember all of
  • 00:20:26.048 --> 00:20:28.417
  • Still vividly remember all of that, and that's been about
  • 00:20:28.483 --> 00:20:29.451
  • That, and that's been about 50-something years ago. and
  • 00:20:29.518 --> 00:20:32.387
  • 50-something years ago. and i'm telling you, there's people
  • 00:20:32.454 --> 00:20:33.455
  • I'm telling you, there's people watching this program today that
  • 00:20:33.522 --> 00:20:36.558
  • Watching this program today that you don't call it the law. you
  • 00:20:36.625 --> 00:20:38.894
  • You don't call it the law. you may not relate to some of the
  • 00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:40.862
  • May not relate to some of the words that i'm using because i'm
  • 00:20:40.929 --> 00:20:42.164
  • Words that i'm using because i'm just using biblical words, but
  • 00:20:42.230 --> 00:20:43.932
  • Just using biblical words, but the truth is, you... you prayed,
  • 00:20:43.999 --> 00:20:46.668
  • The truth is, you... you prayed, you believed that you're saved,
  • 00:20:46.735 --> 00:20:48.070
  • You believed that you're saved, if you were to die, you'd go to
  • 00:20:48.136 --> 00:20:49.338
  • If you were to die, you'd go to heaven, but in this life, you
  • 00:20:49.404 --> 00:20:51.373
  • Heaven, but in this life, you don't enjoy the goodness of god.
  • 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.842
  • Don't enjoy the goodness of god. you know, the word justified,
  • 00:20:53.909 --> 00:20:55.477
  • You know, the word justified, you can give a theological
  • 00:20:55.544 --> 00:20:57.713
  • You can give a theological explanation of that, but my
  • 00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:59.348
  • Explanation of that, but my little layman's definition is
  • 00:20:59.414 --> 00:21:01.083
  • Little layman's definition is justified means, just as if i'd
  • 00:21:01.149 --> 00:21:03.752
  • Justified means, just as if i'd never sinned. and that's what
  • 00:21:03.819 --> 00:21:06.355
  • Never sinned. and that's what justified... that's really a
  • 00:21:06.421 --> 00:21:07.389
  • Justified... that's really a pretty good characterization of
  • 00:21:07.456 --> 00:21:09.191
  • Pretty good characterization of it. and there's some of you that
  • 00:21:09.257 --> 00:21:10.692
  • It. and there's some of you that every time you come before the
  • 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:11.860
  • Every time you come before the lord, you just are constantly
  • 00:21:11.927 --> 00:21:13.862
  • Lord, you just are constantly reminding him of your sins, and
  • 00:21:13.929 --> 00:21:15.630
  • Reminding him of your sins, and you've repented of the same sin
  • 00:21:15.697 --> 00:21:17.432
  • You've repented of the same sin dozens, hundreds of times,
  • 00:21:17.499 --> 00:21:19.501
  • Dozens, hundreds of times, and you are sin conscious.
  • 00:21:19.568 --> 00:21:21.570
  • It says in hebrews, chapter
  • 00:21:21.636 --> 00:21:23.138
  • It says in hebrews, chapter 10, verse 2, that there should
  • 00:21:23.205 --> 00:21:24.473
  • 10, verse 2, that there should be no more conscience of sin.
  • 00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:27.142
  • Why is it that you're living
  • 00:21:28.276 --> 00:21:29.578
  • Why is it that you're living this way? it's because of the
  • 00:21:29.644 --> 00:21:30.979
  • This way? it's because of the law. you may call it something
  • 00:21:31.046 --> 00:21:32.881
  • Law. you may call it something else, but it's the law. it's a
  • 00:21:32.948 --> 00:21:34.783
  • Else, but it's the law. it's a performance-based mentality,
  • 00:21:34.850 --> 00:21:37.819
  • Performance-based mentality, and jesus has set you free
  • 00:21:37.886 --> 00:21:39.588
  • And jesus has set you free from that. and if you don't
  • 00:21:39.654 --> 00:21:41.256
  • From that. and if you don't understand this, if you still
  • 00:21:41.323 --> 00:21:42.991
  • Understand this, if you still are trying to approach god based
  • 00:21:43.058 --> 00:21:44.626
  • Are trying to approach god based on the old testament law, then
  • 00:21:44.693 --> 00:21:46.661
  • On the old testament law, then you don't understand the new
  • 00:21:46.728 --> 00:21:47.329
  • Testament grace. you don't
  • 00:21:47.896 --> 00:21:49.231
  • Understand the nature of god.
  • 00:21:49.231 --> 00:21:52.267
  • You don't understand why he gave
  • 00:21:52.267 --> 00:21:54.336
  • The old testament law, and you
  • 00:21:54.336 --> 00:21:55.871

  • So foreign to the average
  • 00:22:08.083 --> 00:22:10.285
