  • Themselves. god still performs

  • >> and now, here's andrew.
  • 00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:30.487
  • >> welcome to our wednesday's
  • 00:00:30.553 --> 00:00:31.654
  • Broadcast of the gospel truth.
  • 00:00:31.654 --> 00:00:34.124
  • Today i'm in the middle of my
  • 00:00:34.124 --> 00:00:35.325
  • Fourth week teaching on the true
  • 00:00:35.325 --> 00:00:37.494
  • Nature of god. and i tell you,
  • 00:00:37.494 --> 00:00:39.229
  • This teaching is powerful. and
  • 00:00:39.229 --> 00:00:42.398
  • It is so contrary to what the
  • 00:00:42.398 --> 00:00:44.134
  • Average christian thinks that
  • 00:00:44.134 --> 00:00:45.935
  • Most christians just kind of
  • 00:00:45.935 --> 00:00:47.470
  • Have a disconnect. like, this is
  • 00:00:47.470 --> 00:00:49.439
  • So weird compared to everything
  • 00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:51.541
  • I've ever been taught, that most
  • 00:00:51.541 --> 00:00:53.676
  • People just kind of shelve it
  • 00:00:53.676 --> 00:00:55.411
  • And put it aside. but in my life
  • 00:00:55.411 --> 00:00:58.314
  • And in the lives of so many
  • 00:00:58.381 --> 00:00:59.816
  • And in the lives of so many people that the lord has used
  • 00:00:59.883 --> 00:01:01.151
  • People that the lord has used me to reach, i have seen this as
  • 00:01:01.217 --> 00:01:04.053
  • Me to reach, i have seen this as being one of the key factors
  • 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.256
  • Being one of the key factors that just totally changes their
  • 00:01:06.322 --> 00:01:08.191
  • That just totally changes their relationship with god. because
  • 00:01:08.258 --> 00:01:10.226
  • Relationship with god. because if you think that god is this
  • 00:01:10.293 --> 00:01:11.995
  • If you think that god is this demanding, harsh, hard to please
  • 00:01:12.061 --> 00:01:16.533
  • Demanding, harsh, hard to please god, i guarantee you it's going
  • 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:18.668
  • God, i guarantee you it's going to affect your relationship with
  • 00:01:18.735 --> 00:01:20.136
  • To affect your relationship with him. just imagine this. imagine
  • 00:01:20.203 --> 00:01:22.972
  • Him. just imagine this. imagine that you worked for me, and yet
  • 00:01:23.039 --> 00:01:25.642
  • That you worked for me, and yet every day i came in and i never
  • 00:01:25.708 --> 00:01:28.344
  • Every day i came in and i never complimented you on the way
  • 00:01:28.411 --> 00:01:29.779
  • Complimented you on the way you looked, on the job you did.
  • 00:01:29.846 --> 00:01:31.781
  • You looked, on the job you did. i never complimented you
  • 00:01:31.848 --> 00:01:32.982
  • I never complimented you on anything, but instead i
  • 00:01:33.049 --> 00:01:34.884
  • On anything, but instead i nitpicked and found every little
  • 00:01:34.951 --> 00:01:37.754
  • Nitpicked and found every little thing that you did that was
  • 00:01:37.820 --> 00:01:39.422
  • Thing that you did that was wrong. you know, i just had
  • 00:01:39.489 --> 00:01:41.491
  • Wrong. you know, i just had something happen today where
  • 00:01:41.558 --> 00:01:43.193
  • Something happen today where one of my employees didn't do
  • 00:01:43.259 --> 00:01:45.094
  • One of my employees didn't do something that they were
  • 00:01:45.161 --> 00:01:45.962
  • Something that they were supposed to do, and it affected
  • 00:01:46.029 --> 00:01:47.964
  • Supposed to do, and it affected some things, but you know
  • 00:01:48.031 --> 00:01:48.998
  • Some things, but you know what? i just said, well, it's
  • 00:01:49.065 --> 00:01:50.466
  • What? i just said, well, it's some mistakes, no big deal.
  • 00:01:50.533 --> 00:01:52.435
  • Some mistakes, no big deal. and they... they knew that i
  • 00:01:52.502 --> 00:01:54.771
  • And they... they knew that i wouldn't get mad at them.
  • 00:01:54.837 --> 00:01:56.139
  • Wouldn't get mad at them. it was just a mistake, and
  • 00:01:56.206 --> 00:01:57.340
  • It was just a mistake, and so, typically they just do
  • 00:01:57.407 --> 00:01:59.876
  • So, typically they just do awesome on everything. and
  • 00:01:59.943 --> 00:02:01.744
  • Awesome on everything. and see, if you have that kind of
  • 00:02:01.811 --> 00:02:02.912
  • See, if you have that kind of a relationship, that's good.
  • 00:02:02.979 --> 00:02:04.147
  • A relationship, that's good. but if i was like the law, to
  • 00:02:04.214 --> 00:02:06.683
  • But if i was like the law, to where the law never issued a
  • 00:02:06.749 --> 00:02:08.451
  • Where the law never issued a compliment. if you did 99 things
  • 00:02:08.518 --> 00:02:10.687
  • Compliment. if you did 99 things out of 100 right, the law would
  • 00:02:10.753 --> 00:02:12.455
  • Out of 100 right, the law would never compliment you on the
  • 00:02:12.522 --> 00:02:13.623
  • Never compliment you on the 99. it'll only show you the one
  • 00:02:13.690 --> 00:02:16.025
  • 99. it'll only show you the one thing that you did wrong.
  • 00:02:16.092 --> 00:02:17.794
  • Thing that you did wrong. and if i was like the law that
  • 00:02:17.860 --> 00:02:19.429
  • And if i was like the law that just nitpicked and looked for
  • 00:02:19.495 --> 00:02:21.364
  • Just nitpicked and looked for something and said, this hair is
  • 00:02:21.431 --> 00:02:22.799
  • Something and said, this hair is out of place, you didn't do this
  • 00:02:22.865 --> 00:02:24.234
  • Out of place, you didn't do this right, you aren't dressed right.
  • 00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:25.902
  • Right, you aren't dressed right. and if i was like that kind of
  • 00:02:25.969 --> 00:02:27.604
  • And if i was like that kind of a person, i guarantee you, you
  • 00:02:27.670 --> 00:02:29.372
  • A person, i guarantee you, you wouldn't want to be around me
  • 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.174
  • Wouldn't want to be around me because i would just constantly
  • 00:02:31.241 --> 00:02:33.977
  • Because i would just constantly be pointing out what's wrong
  • 00:02:34.043 --> 00:02:35.478
  • Be pointing out what's wrong with you. and did you know that
  • 00:02:35.545 --> 00:02:37.480
  • With you. and did you know that most people, that's what the
  • 00:02:37.547 --> 00:02:39.449
  • Most people, that's what the law did, and most people don't
  • 00:02:39.515 --> 00:02:41.184
  • Law did, and most people don't understand that jesus set us
  • 00:02:41.251 --> 00:02:42.819
  • Understand that jesus set us free from the law, and so they
  • 00:02:42.885 --> 00:02:44.754
  • Free from the law, and so they still have this law mentality,
  • 00:02:44.821 --> 00:02:46.823
  • Still have this law mentality, and they still see god as
  • 00:02:46.889 --> 00:02:48.458
  • And they still see god as somebody who's just waiting
  • 00:02:48.524 --> 00:02:49.926
  • Somebody who's just waiting for them to get out of line.
  • 00:02:49.993 --> 00:02:51.461
  • For them to get out of line. you could do a hundred things
  • 00:02:51.527 --> 00:02:52.795
  • You could do a hundred things right, but if you do one thing
  • 00:02:52.862 --> 00:02:54.297
  • Right, but if you do one thing wrong, you are just absolutely
  • 00:02:54.364 --> 00:02:56.299
  • Wrong, you are just absolutely certain that god's not going to
  • 00:02:56.366 --> 00:02:58.067
  • Certain that god's not going to bless you. that is not a true
  • 00:02:58.134 --> 00:03:00.570
  • Bless you. that is not a true understanding of god, and yet
  • 00:03:00.637 --> 00:03:01.938
  • Understanding of god, and yet that's how the vast majority of
  • 00:03:02.005 --> 00:03:03.940
  • That's how the vast majority of christians live. they constantly
  • 00:03:04.007 --> 00:03:06.242
  • Christians live. they constantly are on the defensive. they are
  • 00:03:06.309 --> 00:03:08.778
  • Are on the defensive. they are constantly waiting on god to
  • 00:03:08.845 --> 00:03:10.580
  • Constantly waiting on god to criticize them over something
  • 00:03:10.647 --> 00:03:12.248
  • Criticize them over something that they've done wrong, and yet
  • 00:03:12.315 --> 00:03:13.750
  • That they've done wrong, and yet god is not like that. the bible
  • 00:03:13.816 --> 00:03:15.785
  • God is not like that. the bible says that... love covers
  • 00:03:15.852 --> 00:03:17.353
  • Says that... love covers the multitude of sins.
  • 00:03:17.420 --> 00:03:19.289
  • And god is love, 1 john, chapter
  • 00:03:19.355 --> 00:03:21.491
  • And god is love, 1 john, chapter 4, verses 8 and 16. god is love,
  • 00:03:21.557 --> 00:03:25.061
  • And he's covered your
  • 00:03:25.128 --> 00:03:26.562
  • And he's covered your sins. now this does not
  • 00:03:26.629 --> 00:03:28.464
  • Sins. now this does not mean that you are free to
  • 00:03:28.531 --> 00:03:29.766
  • Mean that you are free to just go live in sin. it means
  • 00:03:29.832 --> 00:03:31.067
  • Just go live in sin. it means you're free to live in sin and
  • 00:03:31.134 --> 00:03:32.335
  • You're free to live in sin and god will still love you. but
  • 00:03:32.402 --> 00:03:34.604
  • God will still love you. but that sin will give satan an
  • 00:03:34.671 --> 00:03:36.439
  • That sin will give satan an inroad into your life, and it
  • 00:03:36.506 --> 00:03:38.408
  • Inroad into your life, and it will destroy you and it will
  • 00:03:38.474 --> 00:03:39.776
  • Will destroy you and it will hurt you. so as much as you can,
  • 00:03:39.842 --> 00:03:41.711
  • Hurt you. so as much as you can, you need to live holy, but you
  • 00:03:41.778 --> 00:03:43.313
  • You need to live holy, but you don't live holy in order to
  • 00:03:43.379 --> 00:03:44.914
  • Don't live holy in order to obtain god's love. god's love is
  • 00:03:44.981 --> 00:03:47.483
  • Obtain god's love. god's love is unconditional. it is not based
  • 00:03:47.550 --> 00:03:50.320
  • Unconditional. it is not based on your performance. and if you
  • 00:03:50.386 --> 00:03:52.121
  • On your performance. and if you don't agree with what i've just
  • 00:03:52.188 --> 00:03:53.323
  • Don't agree with what i've just said right there, i'm saying
  • 00:03:53.389 --> 00:03:54.957
  • Said right there, i'm saying this in love, but you are
  • 00:03:55.024 --> 00:03:56.292
  • This in love, but you are religious. you are relating to
  • 00:03:56.359 --> 00:03:58.594
  • Religious. you are relating to god based on men's doctrines,
  • 00:03:58.661 --> 00:04:00.830
  • God based on men's doctrines, not based on the word of
  • 00:04:00.897 --> 00:04:02.198
  • Not based on the word of god. now that's a mouthful,
  • 00:04:02.265 --> 00:04:05.635
  • God. now that's a mouthful, but i tell you, i... i've
  • 00:04:05.702 --> 00:04:06.736
  • But i tell you, i... i've been verifying this. i've
  • 00:04:06.803 --> 00:04:07.904
  • Been verifying this. i've been sharing things from
  • 00:04:07.970 --> 00:04:09.038
  • Been sharing things from scripture that the average
  • 00:04:09.105 --> 00:04:10.773
  • Scripture that the average christian has never heard
  • 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.308
  • Christian has never heard of, or even if you've read it,
  • 00:04:12.375 --> 00:04:13.743
  • Of, or even if you've read it, somehow or another,
  • 00:04:13.810 --> 00:04:14.410
  • You know the traditions and
  • 00:04:14.477 --> 00:04:15.511
  • You know the traditions and doctrines of men... make
  • 00:04:15.578 --> 00:04:17.080
  • Doctrines of men... make the word of god of none
  • 00:04:17.146 --> 00:04:18.181
  • The word of god of none effect is what jesus said in
  • 00:04:18.247 --> 00:04:19.582
  • Effect is what jesus said in mark, chapter 7, verse 13.
  • 00:04:19.649 --> 00:04:21.884
  • And many times, we read
  • 00:04:21.951 --> 00:04:23.286
  • And many times, we read the bible with a religious
  • 00:04:23.353 --> 00:04:24.954
  • The bible with a religious mindset, and we just pass over
  • 00:04:25.021 --> 00:04:27.357
  • Mindset, and we just pass over these radical statements.
  • 00:04:27.423 --> 00:04:29.525
  • These radical statements. i've been using a lot of them.
  • 00:04:29.592 --> 00:04:30.993
  • I've been using a lot of them. i hadn't got time to go back
  • 00:04:31.060 --> 00:04:32.028
  • I hadn't got time to go back through that, but let me just
  • 00:04:32.095 --> 00:04:33.129
  • Through that, but let me just turn over to galatians,
  • 00:04:33.196 --> 00:04:34.230
  • Turn over to galatians, chapter 3. and in my estimation,
  • 00:04:34.297 --> 00:04:37.600
  • Chapter 3. and in my estimation, galatians, is the most
  • 00:04:37.667 --> 00:04:39.702
  • Galatians, is the most straightforward, to the point
  • 00:04:39.769 --> 00:04:41.871
  • Straightforward, to the point teaching that paul ever did on
  • 00:04:41.938 --> 00:04:43.740
  • Teaching that paul ever did on the grace of god. and in order
  • 00:04:43.806 --> 00:04:45.942
  • The grace of god. and in order to get the point about the grace
  • 00:04:46.008 --> 00:04:47.477
  • To get the point about the grace of god across, he attacked
  • 00:04:47.543 --> 00:04:50.346
  • Of god across, he attacked people who had a legalistic law
  • 00:04:50.413 --> 00:04:54.450
  • People who had a legalistic law mentality, a performance-based
  • 00:04:54.517 --> 00:04:56.686
  • Mentality, a performance-based mentality. he attacked them.
  • 00:04:56.753 --> 00:04:58.388
  • Mentality. he attacked them. like for instance, right here
  • 00:04:58.454 --> 00:04:59.756
  • In galatians, chapter 3,
  • 00:04:59.822 --> 00:05:01.524
  • In galatians, chapter 3, verse 1, he says, o foolish
  • 00:05:01.591 --> 00:05:03.459
  • Verse 1, he says, o foolish galatians, who hath
  • 00:05:03.526 --> 00:05:05.061
  • Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that you
  • 00:05:05.128 --> 00:05:06.829
  • Bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth,
  • 00:05:06.896 --> 00:05:08.231
  • Should not obey the truth, before whose eyes jesus christ
  • 00:05:08.297 --> 00:05:10.400
  • Before whose eyes jesus christ hath been evidently set forth,
  • 00:05:10.466 --> 00:05:12.702
  • Hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you. man,
  • 00:05:12.769 --> 00:05:14.937
  • He said you galatians
  • 00:05:15.004 --> 00:05:16.239
  • He said you galatians have been bewitched. this
  • 00:05:16.305 --> 00:05:17.807
  • Have been bewitched. this is talking about demonic
  • 00:05:17.874 --> 00:05:19.175
  • Is talking about demonic activity, and i guarantee
  • 00:05:19.242 --> 00:05:20.410
  • Activity, and i guarantee you a lot of our legalistic
  • 00:05:20.476 --> 00:05:22.478
  • You a lot of our legalistic mindset, it's come through
  • 00:05:22.545 --> 00:05:24.414
  • Mindset, it's come through religion, and it may be one
  • 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.649
  • Religion, and it may be one of these evangelical or
  • 00:05:26.716 --> 00:05:28.284
  • Of these evangelical or pentecostal or whatever
  • 00:05:28.351 --> 00:05:29.886
  • Pentecostal or whatever religions, but it's demonic if
  • 00:05:29.952 --> 00:05:31.687
  • Religions, but it's demonic if it violates the word of god.
  • 00:05:31.754 --> 00:05:33.523
  • It violates the word of god. satan is the author of it.
  • 00:05:33.589 --> 00:05:35.425
  • And he said that... before
  • 00:05:35.491 --> 00:05:36.993
  • And he said that... before whose eyes jesus christ
  • 00:05:37.059 --> 00:05:38.461
  • Whose eyes jesus christ hath been evidently set
  • 00:05:38.528 --> 00:05:39.896
  • Hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you.
  • 00:05:39.962 --> 00:05:41.664
  • What he's referring to
  • 00:05:41.731 --> 00:05:42.732
  • What he's referring to here, he's not just talking
  • 00:05:42.799 --> 00:05:44.434
  • Here, he's not just talking about the piece of wood
  • 00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:46.035
  • About the piece of wood that jesus was nailed to and
  • 00:05:46.102 --> 00:05:47.770
  • That jesus was nailed to and crucified, but when it talks
  • 00:05:47.837 --> 00:05:48.971
  • Crucified, but when it talks about the crucifixion of jesus,
  • 00:05:49.038 --> 00:05:51.541
  • About the crucifixion of jesus, jesus bore our punishment. jesus
  • 00:05:51.607 --> 00:05:55.077
  • Jesus bore our punishment. jesus lived holy so that we didn't
  • 00:05:55.144 --> 00:05:56.813
  • Lived holy so that we didn't have to live holy. he suffered
  • 00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.781
  • Have to live holy. he suffered our punishment so that we would
  • 00:05:58.848 --> 00:06:00.850
  • Our punishment so that we would not be punished. and this is
  • 00:06:00.917 --> 00:06:02.518
  • Not be punished. and this is what paul's referring to. he
  • 00:06:02.585 --> 00:06:04.387
  • What paul's referring to. he said that he preached jesus so
  • 00:06:04.454 --> 00:06:07.156
  • Said that he preached jesus so clearly that jesus had paid the
  • 00:06:07.223 --> 00:06:09.392
  • Clearly that jesus had paid the total debt and that we were now
  • 00:06:09.459 --> 00:06:11.427
  • Total debt and that we were now free from all of the punishment
  • 00:06:11.494 --> 00:06:13.729
  • Free from all of the punishment and the wrath and the rejection
  • 00:06:13.796 --> 00:06:15.398
  • And the wrath and the rejection of god that comes over sin. he
  • 00:06:15.465 --> 00:06:17.967
  • Of god that comes over sin. he preached that so strongly that
  • 00:06:18.034 --> 00:06:20.369
  • Preached that so strongly that he just couldn't understand how
  • 00:06:20.436 --> 00:06:21.871
  • He just couldn't understand how that the galatians had deviated
  • 00:06:21.938 --> 00:06:24.907
  • That the galatians had deviated from it. he says it's demonic
  • 00:06:24.974 --> 00:06:26.409
  • From it. he says it's demonic deception because i preached
  • 00:06:26.476 --> 00:06:27.944
  • Deception because i preached clearly that it was all about
  • 00:06:28.010 --> 00:06:29.579
  • Clearly that it was all about jesus and not your works.
  • 00:06:29.645 --> 00:06:31.781
  • And he goes on to say in
  • 00:06:31.848 --> 00:06:32.882
  • And he goes on to say in verse 2, this only would
  • 00:06:32.949 --> 00:06:34.450
  • Verse 2, this only would i learn of you. received ye
  • 00:06:34.517 --> 00:06:36.252
  • I learn of you. received ye the spirit by the works of
  • 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:37.553
  • The spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing
  • 00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:38.721
  • The law, or by the hearing of faith? and you know, this
  • 00:06:38.788 --> 00:06:40.289
  • Of faith? and you know, this same thing is repeated over
  • 00:06:40.356 --> 00:06:42.058
  • Same thing is repeated over in colossians, chapter 2, verse
  • 00:06:42.124 --> 00:06:43.626
  • In colossians, chapter 2, verse 6, where it says, as you have
  • 00:06:43.693 --> 00:06:44.827
  • 6, where it says, as you have therefore received christ jesus
  • 00:06:44.894 --> 00:06:46.662
  • Therefore received christ jesus the lord, so walk ye in him.
  • 00:06:46.729 --> 00:06:49.131
  • What he's doing is saying, how
  • 00:06:49.198 --> 00:06:50.366
  • What he's doing is saying, how did you receive salvation? did
  • 00:06:50.433 --> 00:06:52.602
  • Did you receive salvation? did you receive salvation because
  • 00:06:52.668 --> 00:06:54.136
  • You receive salvation because you were living holy and you
  • 00:06:54.203 --> 00:06:56.038
  • You were living holy and you were paying your tithes, and you
  • 00:06:56.105 --> 00:06:57.507
  • Were paying your tithes, and you were doing everything right? the
  • 00:06:57.573 --> 00:06:59.542
  • Were doing everything right? the truth is when we first got born
  • 00:06:59.609 --> 00:07:01.677
  • Truth is when we first got born again, most of us were living in
  • 00:07:01.744 --> 00:07:03.346
  • Again, most of us were living in sin. we weren't seeking god. we
  • 00:07:03.412 --> 00:07:05.715
  • Sin. we weren't seeking god. we weren't doing anything. we
  • 00:07:05.781 --> 00:07:06.782
  • Weren't doing anything. we didn't have any holiness to
  • 00:07:06.849 --> 00:07:08.818
  • Didn't have any holiness to approach god with. we had to do
  • 00:07:08.885 --> 00:07:10.953
  • Approach god with. we had to do just like that song says, just
  • 00:07:11.020 --> 00:07:12.488
  • Just like that song says, just as i am, without one plea, but
  • 00:07:12.555 --> 00:07:14.991
  • As i am, without one plea, but that thy blood was sed... shed
  • 00:07:15.057 --> 00:07:16.626
  • That thy blood was sed... shed for me, o lamb of god, i come.
  • 00:07:16.692 --> 00:07:18.361
  • We couldn't come before god
  • 00:07:20.096 --> 00:07:21.631
  • We couldn't come before god proclaiming our own goodness.
  • 00:07:21.697 --> 00:07:23.332
  • Proclaiming our own goodness. and he says so how did you
  • 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:24.400
  • And he says so how did you receive the spirit? it wasn't
  • 00:07:24.467 --> 00:07:26.469
  • Receive the spirit? it wasn't because you had deserved it. but
  • 00:07:26.536 --> 00:07:29.005
  • Because you had deserved it. but now that you are born again, how
  • 00:07:29.071 --> 00:07:30.740
  • Now that you are born again, how is it that you think now you got
  • 00:07:30.806 --> 00:07:34.043
  • Is it that you think now you got saved by grace and putting faith
  • 00:07:34.110 --> 00:07:36.045
  • Saved by grace and putting faith in what god did for you, but now
  • 00:07:36.112 --> 00:07:37.613
  • In what god did for you, but now that you're born again, somehow
  • 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:39.215
  • That you're born again, somehow or another, you got to live up
  • 00:07:39.282 --> 00:07:40.283
  • Or another, you got to live up to all of these standards. you
  • 00:07:40.349 --> 00:07:42.018
  • To all of these standards. you know, this is why many people
  • 00:07:42.084 --> 00:07:45.755
  • Know, this is why many people experience what is commonly
  • 00:07:45.821 --> 00:07:47.657
  • Experience what is commonly called a honeymoon period when
  • 00:07:47.723 --> 00:07:49.859
  • Called a honeymoon period when they first get born again. they
  • 00:07:49.926 --> 00:07:51.928
  • They first get born again. they came to the lord because they
  • 00:07:51.994 --> 00:07:53.296
  • Came to the lord because they just were so convicted over
  • 00:07:53.362 --> 00:07:54.730
  • Just were so convicted over their sin, and they humbled
  • 00:07:54.797 --> 00:07:56.499
  • Their sin, and they humbled themself and they asked god to
  • 00:07:56.566 --> 00:07:58.000
  • Themself and they asked god to forgive them. they received that
  • 00:07:58.067 --> 00:07:59.402
  • Forgive them. they received that forgiveness and i mean all of a
  • 00:07:59.468 --> 00:08:01.070
  • Forgiveness and i mean all of a sudden the grass is greener,
  • 00:08:01.137 --> 00:08:03.239
  • Sudden the grass is greener, the sky is bluer. everything is
  • 00:08:03.306 --> 00:08:06.042
  • The sky is bluer. everything is awesome. they just enter into
  • 00:08:06.108 --> 00:08:07.843
  • Awesome. they just enter into this honeymoon period where god
  • 00:08:07.910 --> 00:08:09.845
  • This honeymoon period where god loves them. they had lived
  • 00:08:09.912 --> 00:08:11.380
  • Loves them. they had lived a terrible life but now they
  • 00:08:11.447 --> 00:08:12.982
  • A terrible life but now they believe they're forgiven,
  • 00:08:13.049 --> 00:08:14.417
  • Believe they're forgiven, and they just have this great
  • 00:08:14.483 --> 00:08:15.751
  • And they just have this great honeymoon experience with
  • 00:08:15.818 --> 00:08:17.820
  • Honeymoon experience with god. and this is... actually,
  • 00:08:17.887 --> 00:08:20.256
  • God. and this is... actually, i've been in churches where
  • 00:08:20.323 --> 00:08:21.490
  • I've been in churches where they have a doctrine about
  • 00:08:21.557 --> 00:08:22.858
  • They have a doctrine about this, and they talk about
  • 00:08:22.925 --> 00:08:24.060
  • This, and they talk about that period where you
  • 00:08:24.126 --> 00:08:25.695
  • That period where you first come to the lord, and
  • 00:08:25.761 --> 00:08:27.063
  • First come to the lord, and everything is just wonderful
  • 00:08:27.129 --> 00:08:28.764
  • Everything is just wonderful because you're forgiven. but
  • 00:08:28.831 --> 00:08:30.800
  • Because you're forgiven. but then they will come out and say,
  • 00:08:30.866 --> 00:08:31.968
  • Then they will come out and say, but you can't live there. god
  • 00:08:32.034 --> 00:08:33.336
  • But you can't live there. god doesn't want you to live on a
  • 00:08:33.402 --> 00:08:34.370
  • Doesn't want you to live on a honeymoon and pretty soon
  • 00:08:34.437 --> 00:08:35.705
  • Honeymoon and pretty soon you get down and you start
  • 00:08:35.771 --> 00:08:37.173
  • You get down and you start getting... dealing with
  • 00:08:37.239 --> 00:08:38.574
  • Getting... dealing with depression and you're dealing
  • 00:08:38.641 --> 00:08:40.209
  • Depression and you're dealing with things. you know the reason
  • 00:08:40.276 --> 00:08:41.644
  • With things. you know the reason that happened? i'm not saying
  • 00:08:41.711 --> 00:08:42.678
  • That happened? i'm not saying that that doesn't happen to
  • 00:08:42.745 --> 00:08:43.913
  • That that doesn't happen to a lot of people. but i am saying
  • 00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:45.715
  • A lot of people. but i am saying that that's not the way that
  • 00:08:45.781 --> 00:08:46.616
  • That that's not the way that god intended it. you know why
  • 00:08:46.682 --> 00:08:48.818
  • God intended it. you know why that... there's a honeymoon
  • 00:08:48.884 --> 00:08:50.353
  • That... there's a honeymoon period with some people? it's
  • 00:08:50.419 --> 00:08:52.154
  • Period with some people? it's because when you first came to
  • 00:08:52.221 --> 00:08:53.589
  • Because when you first came to the lord, just like this said,
  • 00:08:53.656 --> 00:08:54.824
  • The lord, just like this said, you received the spirit by
  • 00:08:54.890 --> 00:08:56.425
  • You received the spirit by grace. and it was told you that
  • 00:08:56.492 --> 00:08:59.362
  • Grace. and it was told you that it wasn't what you did, it was
  • 00:08:59.428 --> 00:09:00.696
  • It wasn't what you did, it was what jesus did for you. and so
  • 00:09:00.763 --> 00:09:02.665
  • What jesus did for you. and so you receive by putting faith
  • 00:09:02.732 --> 00:09:04.100
  • You receive by putting faith in the lord, and your own
  • 00:09:04.166 --> 00:09:05.935
  • In the lord, and your own unworthiness doesn't hinder you
  • 00:09:06.002 --> 00:09:08.170
  • Unworthiness doesn't hinder you from having a relationship with
  • 00:09:08.237 --> 00:09:09.672
  • From having a relationship with god. you're believing that god
  • 00:09:09.739 --> 00:09:11.207
  • God. you're believing that god accepts you based on what jesus
  • 00:09:11.273 --> 00:09:12.842
  • Accepts you based on what jesus did. but then you go to church
  • 00:09:12.908 --> 00:09:15.311
  • Did. but then you go to church and the church starts telling
  • 00:09:15.378 --> 00:09:16.579
  • And the church starts telling you, unless you pay your tithes,
  • 00:09:16.646 --> 00:09:17.880
  • You, unless you pay your tithes, unless you come to church every
  • 00:09:17.947 --> 00:09:19.281
  • Unless you come to church every time the doors are open, if you
  • 00:09:19.348 --> 00:09:20.916
  • Time the doors are open, if you don't read your bible an hour
  • 00:09:20.983 --> 00:09:22.451
  • Don't read your bible an hour a day, if you don't do this and
  • 00:09:22.518 --> 00:09:24.353
  • A day, if you don't do this and this and this, god won't heal
  • 00:09:24.420 --> 00:09:26.155
  • This and this, god won't heal you. god won't bless you. you
  • 00:09:26.222 --> 00:09:27.790
  • You. god won't bless you. you may still go to heaven, but you
  • 00:09:27.857 --> 00:09:29.125
  • May still go to heaven, but you won't experience any of the joy
  • 00:09:29.191 --> 00:09:30.860
  • Won't experience any of the joy and the blessings because you've
  • 00:09:30.926 --> 00:09:32.128
  • And the blessings because you've got to earn it. you've got to
  • 00:09:32.194 --> 00:09:33.262
  • Got to earn it. you've got to be holy. that's what causes
  • 00:09:33.329 --> 00:09:36.065
  • Be holy. that's what causes this honeymoon feeling to
  • 00:09:36.132 --> 00:09:37.933
  • This honeymoon feeling to deep... depart, because you quit
  • 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.169
  • Deep... depart, because you quit operating by grace and putting
  • 00:09:40.236 --> 00:09:42.605
  • Operating by grace and putting faith in what jesus did, and you
  • 00:09:42.672 --> 00:09:44.473
  • Faith in what jesus did, and you start putting faith in yourself,
  • 00:09:44.540 --> 00:09:46.909
  • Start putting faith in yourself, and you start feeling like
  • 00:09:46.976 --> 00:09:48.210
  • And you start feeling like you've got... god accepts you
  • 00:09:48.277 --> 00:09:49.645
  • You've got... god accepts you based on your performance.
  • 00:09:49.712 --> 00:09:51.614
  • Based on your performance. if salvation would've been
  • 00:09:51.681 --> 00:09:53.082
  • If salvation would've been presented to you that way, you'd
  • 00:09:53.149 --> 00:09:54.884
  • Presented to you that way, you'd have never gotten born again,
  • 00:09:54.950 --> 00:09:56.385
  • Have never gotten born again, because you didn't deserve it.
  • 00:09:56.452 --> 00:09:58.087
  • Because you didn't deserve it. but you received it based on
  • 00:09:58.154 --> 00:09:59.455
  • But you received it based on what jesus did. but once you
  • 00:09:59.522 --> 00:10:01.190
  • What jesus did. but once you get saved, sad to say, most
  • 00:10:01.257 --> 00:10:02.825
  • Get saved, sad to say, most christians get to where they
  • 00:10:02.892 --> 00:10:04.593
  • Christians get to where they start feeling, now, i got
  • 00:10:04.660 --> 00:10:06.629
  • Start feeling, now, i got saved by grace, but i've got to
  • 00:10:06.696 --> 00:10:08.497
  • Saved by grace, but i've got to maintain my relationship with
  • 00:10:08.564 --> 00:10:10.466
  • Maintain my relationship with god based on my performance.
  • 00:10:10.533 --> 00:10:13.035
  • God based on my performance. maybe it's not my eternal
  • 00:10:13.102 --> 00:10:14.470
  • Maybe it's not my eternal relationship. if i died, i'd go
  • 00:10:14.537 --> 00:10:16.272
  • Relationship. if i died, i'd go to heaven, but i am not going to
  • 00:10:16.338 --> 00:10:17.673
  • To heaven, but i am not going to experience healing, joy, peace,
  • 00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:20.309
  • Experience healing, joy, peace, deliverance, fulfillment. god
  • 00:10:20.376 --> 00:10:23.079
  • Deliverance, fulfillment. god won't answer my prayers unless
  • 00:10:23.145 --> 00:10:24.613
  • Won't answer my prayers unless i live holy. that's not walking
  • 00:10:24.680 --> 00:10:27.316
  • I live holy. that's not walking by the same rule. and this is
  • 00:10:27.383 --> 00:10:28.384
  • By the same rule. and this is what paul is pointing out.
  • 00:10:28.451 --> 00:10:29.685
  • What paul is pointing out. how did you get saved?
  • 00:10:29.752 --> 00:10:31.087
  • How did you get saved? how did you receive the
  • 00:10:31.153 --> 00:10:32.121
  • How did you receive the spirit in the first place?
  • 00:10:32.188 --> 00:10:33.689
  • And he says, are you so
  • 00:10:33.756 --> 00:10:35.057
  • And he says, are you so foolish? having begun in
  • 00:10:35.124 --> 00:10:37.159
  • Foolish? having begun in the spirit, are you now
  • 00:10:37.226 --> 00:10:38.427
  • The spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh?
  • 00:10:38.494 --> 00:10:40.463
  • If you got saved by putting
  • 00:10:40.529 --> 00:10:42.331
  • If you got saved by putting faith in what jesus did and
  • 00:10:42.398 --> 00:10:43.799
  • Faith in what jesus did and not in your goodness, what
  • 00:10:43.866 --> 00:10:45.468
  • Not in your goodness, what makes you so foolish to think
  • 00:10:45.534 --> 00:10:47.036
  • Makes you so foolish to think that now you've got to somehow
  • 00:10:47.103 --> 00:10:48.404
  • That now you've got to somehow or another earn all of the
  • 00:10:48.471 --> 00:10:50.206
  • Or another earn all of the blessings of god? boy, what
  • 00:10:50.272 --> 00:10:53.209
  • Blessings of god? boy, what i'm saying right here just rubs
  • 00:10:53.275 --> 00:10:54.677
  • I'm saying right here just rubs religion. ninety-nine percent of
  • 00:10:54.744 --> 00:10:57.012
  • Religion. ninety-nine percent of all religion is preaching this
  • 00:10:57.079 --> 00:10:58.881
  • All religion is preaching this performance based relationship
  • 00:10:58.948 --> 00:11:01.183
  • Performance based relationship with god after you get saved.
  • 00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:02.818
  • With god after you get saved. you may get saved by grace, but
  • 00:11:02.885 --> 00:11:04.487
  • You may get saved by grace, but now you've got to maintain
  • 00:11:04.553 --> 00:11:06.055
  • Now you've got to maintain everything through your
  • 00:11:06.122 --> 00:11:07.256
  • Everything through your performance. and this is the
  • 00:11:07.323 --> 00:11:09.291
  • Performance. and this is the reason that so few christians
  • 00:11:09.358 --> 00:11:11.260
  • Reason that so few christians are, you know, keeping that same
  • 00:11:11.327 --> 00:11:13.896
  • Are, you know, keeping that same joy and that same emotion that
  • 00:11:13.963 --> 00:11:17.032
  • Joy and that same emotion that they had when they first got
  • 00:11:17.099 --> 00:11:18.434
  • They had when they first got born again. it's because they go
  • 00:11:18.501 --> 00:11:19.735
  • Born again. it's because they go to church and are told that
  • 00:11:19.802 --> 00:11:21.270
  • To church and are told that they've got to do all of these
  • 00:11:21.337 --> 00:11:22.471
  • They've got to do all of these things. i am not against church.
  • 00:11:22.538 --> 00:11:24.607
  • Things. i am not against church. i'm just against false church.
  • 00:11:24.673 --> 00:11:26.542
  • I'm just against false church. i'm against false religion. i'm
  • 00:11:26.609 --> 00:11:28.878
  • I'm against false religion. i'm against wrong representation
  • 00:11:28.944 --> 00:11:30.880
  • Against wrong representation of god, but the church is god's
  • 00:11:30.946 --> 00:11:33.082
  • Of god, but the church is god's family. it's his power here on
  • 00:11:33.149 --> 00:11:35.284
  • Family. it's his power here on the earth. i'm in support of the
  • 00:11:35.351 --> 00:11:36.685
  • The earth. i'm in support of the church, but i am against some
  • 00:11:36.752 --> 00:11:38.187
  • Church, but i am against some of the doctrines that are so
  • 00:11:38.254 --> 00:11:39.922
  • Of the doctrines that are so prevalent in church today.
  • 00:11:39.989 --> 00:11:42.424
  • So again, he says in verse 3,
  • 00:11:42.491 --> 00:11:43.826
  • So again, he says in verse 3, are you so foolish? having
  • 00:11:43.893 --> 00:11:45.027
  • Are you so foolish? having begun in the spirit, are you
  • 00:11:45.094 --> 00:11:46.128
  • Begun in the spirit, are you now made perfect by the
  • 00:11:46.195 --> 00:11:47.229
  • Now made perfect by the flesh? have you suffered
  • 00:11:47.296 --> 00:11:49.198
  • Flesh? have you suffered so many things in vain?
  • 00:11:49.265 --> 00:11:50.833
  • So many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. he
  • 00:11:50.900 --> 00:11:52.501
  • If it be yet in vain. he therefore that ministereth
  • 00:11:52.568 --> 00:11:53.803
  • Therefore that ministereth to you the spirit, and worketh
  • 00:11:53.869 --> 00:11:55.638
  • To you the spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth
  • 00:11:55.704 --> 00:11:56.839
  • Miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law,
  • 00:11:56.906 --> 00:11:58.374
  • He it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
  • 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.276
  • Well, the answer to this
  • 00:12:00.342 --> 00:12:01.177
  • Well, the answer to this is obvious. any person
  • 00:12:01.243 --> 00:12:02.845
  • Is obvious. any person who is ministering to you
  • 00:12:02.912 --> 00:12:04.113
  • Who is ministering to you and performing miracles,
  • 00:12:04.180 --> 00:12:05.915
  • And performing miracles, they don't do it because they
  • 00:12:05.981 --> 00:12:07.616
  • They don't do it because they deserve it, not because of their
  • 00:12:07.683 --> 00:12:09.151
  • Deserve it, not because of their goodness. they are telling you
  • 00:12:09.218 --> 00:12:10.486
  • Goodness. they are telling you about god's goodness, not their
  • 00:12:10.553 --> 00:12:12.588
  • About god's goodness, not their goodness. now, that's the way
  • 00:12:12.655 --> 00:12:14.356
  • Goodness. now, that's the way it's supposed to be. that's a
  • 00:12:14.423 --> 00:12:15.658
  • It's supposed to be. that's a fu... that's a true minister.
  • 00:12:15.724 --> 00:12:17.693
  • Fu... that's a true minister. sad to say we've got a lot of
  • 00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:19.061
  • Sad to say we've got a lot of people who claim to be ministers
  • 00:12:19.128 --> 00:12:20.629
  • People who claim to be ministers of the lord, and all they are
  • 00:12:20.696 --> 00:12:22.064
  • Of the lord, and all they are doing is promoting themself and
  • 00:12:22.131 --> 00:12:24.166
  • Doing is promoting themself and stuff, and so they are dealing
  • 00:12:24.233 --> 00:12:25.801
  • Stuff, and so they are dealing with performance. and if that
  • 00:12:25.868 --> 00:12:28.003
  • With performance. and if that minister is operating like that
  • 00:12:28.070 --> 00:12:30.539
  • Minister is operating like that and operating out of the flesh
  • 00:12:30.606 --> 00:12:32.074
  • And operating out of the flesh and trying to make god move by
  • 00:12:32.141 --> 00:12:34.343
  • And trying to make god move by them doing things, they wind up
  • 00:12:34.410 --> 00:12:36.612
  • Them doing things, they wind up burning out. you know, i... i
  • 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:39.915
  • Burning out. you know, i... i remember that i went over
  • 00:12:39.982 --> 00:12:41.217
  • Remember that i went over to uganda, and we started...
  • 00:12:41.283 --> 00:12:45.287
  • To uganda, and we started... man, i forget the exact number,
  • 00:12:45.354 --> 00:12:46.422
  • Forgive me, i... i may miss
  • 00:12:47.022 --> 00:12:48.824
  • This, but when i first went
  • 00:12:48.824 --> 00:12:50.292
  • There, virtually nobody had
  • 00:12:50.292 --> 00:12:53.996
  • Heard about the lord. it was
  • 00:12:53.996 --> 00:12:55.731
  • Called the karamoja region.
  • 00:12:55.731 --> 00:12:57.967
  • And when we went there,
  • 00:12:57.967 --> 00:12:59.101
  • There had been fighting
  • 00:12:59.101 --> 00:13:00.636
  • Recently and we literally
  • 00:13:00.636 --> 00:13:02.571
  • Had to have a military ex...
  • 00:13:02.571 --> 00:13:03.839
  • Escort to go in there and
  • 00:13:03.839 --> 00:13:05.207
  • They had a jeep with a gun, a
  • 00:13:05.207 --> 00:13:06.876
  • Machine gun mounted on top to
  • 00:13:06.876 --> 00:13:08.444
  • Protect us. and we went into
  • 00:13:08.444 --> 00:13:10.212
  • These places where people
  • 00:13:10.212 --> 00:13:12.081
  • Were, i mean, living in extreme
  • 00:13:12.081 --> 00:13:14.250
  • Poverty. many of the women
  • 00:13:14.316 --> 00:13:15.517
  • Poverty. many of the women weren't even clothed. they
  • 00:13:15.584 --> 00:13:16.619
  • Weren't even clothed. they didn't even have clothes on. and
  • 00:13:16.685 --> 00:13:18.854
  • Didn't even have clothes on. and it was primitive. and we went
  • 00:13:18.921 --> 00:13:19.622
  • Into these little tiny huts that
  • 00:13:20.289 --> 00:13:21.790
  • Were plastered with cow dung is
  • 00:13:21.790 --> 00:13:25.294
  • How they kept the elements out
  • 00:13:25.294 --> 00:13:27.496
  • And things like this. and i went
  • 00:13:27.563 --> 00:13:28.964
  • And things like this. and i went in to try and teach them, and
  • 00:13:29.031 --> 00:13:31.000
  • In to try and teach them, and they had never heard of jesus.
  • 00:13:31.066 --> 00:13:32.501
  • They had never heard of jesus. they'd never heard of the
  • 00:13:32.568 --> 00:13:33.302
  • They'd never heard of the romans. they didn't know what
  • 00:13:33.369 --> 00:13:34.870
  • Romans. they didn't know what crucifixion was. they had no
  • 00:13:34.937 --> 00:13:37.473
  • Crucifixion was. they had no christian influence whatsoever,
  • 00:13:37.539 --> 00:13:39.942
  • Christian influence whatsoever, and i was just at a loss, how do
  • 00:13:40.009 --> 00:13:42.077
  • And i was just at a loss, how do you communicate to people? and
  • 00:13:42.144 --> 00:13:44.480
  • You communicate to people? and so anyway, my... my reason for
  • 00:13:44.546 --> 00:13:46.916
  • So anyway, my... my reason for bringing that up is to say that
  • 00:13:46.982 --> 00:13:48.183
  • Bringing that up is to say that we started churches and now i
  • 00:13:48.250 --> 00:13:50.052
  • We started churches and now i think there's like 200... 150 to
  • 00:13:50.119 --> 00:13:52.388
  • Think there's like 200... 150 to 200 churches in that area. we
  • 00:13:52.454 --> 00:13:54.857
  • 200 churches in that area. we cooperated with one of the local
  • 00:13:54.924 --> 00:13:56.558
  • Cooperated with one of the local groups there and we've been
  • 00:13:56.625 --> 00:13:58.193
  • Groups there and we've been seeing a great revival. but
  • 00:13:58.260 --> 00:13:59.728
  • Seeing a great revival. but there was this one woman who...
  • 00:13:59.795 --> 00:14:01.797
  • There was this one woman who... i went back there two or three
  • 00:14:01.864 --> 00:14:03.098
  • I went back there two or three times, and this one woman came
  • 00:14:03.165 --> 00:14:04.833
  • Times, and this one woman came to me. she was a real petite
  • 00:14:04.900 --> 00:14:06.402
  • To me. she was a real petite woman, and she had been
  • 00:14:06.468 --> 00:14:08.704
  • Woman, and she had been pastoring a church, and she was
  • 00:14:08.771 --> 00:14:11.874
  • Pastoring a church, and she was preaching that if you smoked a
  • 00:14:11.941 --> 00:14:13.242
  • Preaching that if you smoked a cigarette, you'd go to hell, and
  • 00:14:13.309 --> 00:14:14.710
  • Cigarette, you'd go to hell, and she was just condemning people
  • 00:14:14.777 --> 00:14:16.178
  • She was just condemning people and preaching the law to them.
  • 00:14:16.245 --> 00:14:18.280
  • And preaching the law to them. and as a result, she went from
  • 00:14:18.347 --> 00:14:19.815
  • And as a result, she went from like a 100 people in her church
  • 00:14:19.882 --> 00:14:21.450
  • Like a 100 people in her church down to just 15 or 20. and then
  • 00:14:21.517 --> 00:14:24.086
  • Down to just 15 or 20. and then she got hold of my teaching. she
  • 00:14:24.153 --> 00:14:25.721
  • She got hold of my teaching. she began to recognize that she was
  • 00:14:25.788 --> 00:14:28.023
  • Began to recognize that she was preaching, you get saved by
  • 00:14:28.090 --> 00:14:29.692
  • Preaching, you get saved by grace but then you have to
  • 00:14:29.758 --> 00:14:31.193
  • Grace but then you have to maintain by your holiness, and
  • 00:14:31.260 --> 00:14:33.062
  • Maintain by your holiness, and she was preaching this holiness
  • 00:14:33.128 --> 00:14:35.030
  • She was preaching this holiness for acceptance. and she gave
  • 00:14:35.097 --> 00:14:37.700
  • For acceptance. and she gave as an example... that she saw
  • 00:14:37.766 --> 00:14:39.568
  • As an example... that she saw miracles happen. she saw some
  • 00:14:39.635 --> 00:14:41.036
  • Miracles happen. she saw some great miracles happen, but she
  • 00:14:41.103 --> 00:14:42.538
  • Great miracles happen, but she had to fast and pray and earn
  • 00:14:42.604 --> 00:14:44.606
  • Had to fast and pray and earn it. she wasn't just praying and
  • 00:14:44.673 --> 00:14:46.542
  • It. she wasn't just praying and trusting jesus. she was earning
  • 00:14:46.608 --> 00:14:48.944
  • Trusting jesus. she was earning it and being holy enough for god
  • 00:14:49.011 --> 00:14:50.846
  • It and being holy enough for god to use her. and as a result, she
  • 00:14:50.913 --> 00:14:53.615
  • To use her. and as a result, she said that she fasted, and i
  • 00:14:53.682 --> 00:14:55.317
  • Said that she fasted, and i forget, i think if i'm correct,
  • 00:14:55.384 --> 00:14:57.086
  • Forget, i think if i'm correct, if i remember this correctly, i
  • 00:14:57.152 --> 00:14:58.220
  • If i remember this correctly, i think she fasted five days every
  • 00:14:58.287 --> 00:15:01.156
  • Think she fasted five days every week for a year or two, and she
  • 00:15:01.223 --> 00:15:04.326
  • Week for a year or two, and she was down to where she was nearly
  • 00:15:04.393 --> 00:15:06.061
  • Was down to where she was nearly nothing. matter of fact, this
  • 00:15:06.128 --> 00:15:07.096
  • Nothing. matter of fact, this woman, she was speaking through
  • 00:15:07.162 --> 00:15:08.731
  • Woman, she was speaking through an interpreter, and when she
  • 00:15:08.797 --> 00:15:09.865
  • An interpreter, and when she was telling me this, she ran her
  • 00:15:09.932 --> 00:15:11.867
  • Was telling me this, she ran her hand down across my chest, and
  • 00:15:11.934 --> 00:15:14.236
  • Hand down across my chest, and she says, i was as flat-chested
  • 00:15:14.303 --> 00:15:16.071
  • She says, i was as flat-chested as you are, because she had
  • 00:15:16.138 --> 00:15:18.040
  • As you are, because she had fasted so much. she was down
  • 00:15:18.107 --> 00:15:19.975
  • Fasted so much. she was down to nothing but skin and bones.
  • 00:15:20.042 --> 00:15:22.011
  • To nothing but skin and bones. and then she got hold of
  • 00:15:22.077 --> 00:15:23.645
  • And then she got hold of this truth, and instead
  • 00:15:23.712 --> 00:15:25.247
  • This truth, and instead of preaching the law,
  • 00:15:25.314 --> 00:15:25.681
  • She started preaching the
  • 00:15:26.248 --> 00:15:27.316
  • True nature of god, the goodness
  • 00:15:27.316 --> 00:15:29.184
  • Of god. she went back to
  • 00:15:29.184 --> 00:15:31.253
  • The people that she had
  • 00:15:31.253 --> 00:15:32.421
  • Condemned to hell and had
  • 00:15:32.488 --> 00:15:33.789
  • Condemned to hell and had run off from her church, and
  • 00:15:33.856 --> 00:15:35.791
  • Run off from her church, and she started preaching the grace
  • 00:15:35.858 --> 00:15:37.192
  • She started preaching the grace of god. and her church improved
  • 00:15:37.259 --> 00:15:39.695
  • Of god. and her church improved from like 20 up to a thousand,
  • 00:15:39.762 --> 00:15:42.097
  • From like 20 up to a thousand, close to a thousand people.
  • 00:15:42.164 --> 00:15:43.632
  • Close to a thousand people. people were coming because
  • 00:15:43.699 --> 00:15:45.401
  • People were coming because of the goodness of god.
  • 00:15:45.467 --> 00:15:47.202
  • Of the goodness of god. and she actually gave me a
  • 00:15:47.269 --> 00:15:49.038
  • And she actually gave me a testimony that there was a
  • 00:15:49.104 --> 00:15:50.305
  • Testimony that there was a person in their church that
  • 00:15:50.372 --> 00:15:51.673
  • Person in their church that died, and in uganda they keep
  • 00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:54.543
  • Died, and in uganda they keep the body in in the home, and
  • 00:15:54.610 --> 00:15:56.545
  • The body in in the home, and they have people come for like
  • 00:15:56.612 --> 00:15:57.980
  • They have people come for like a week and they have meals, and
  • 00:15:58.047 --> 00:16:00.449
  • A week and they have meals, and they do things, and they...
  • 00:16:00.516 --> 00:16:01.617
  • They do things, and they... and they keep the body kind of
  • 00:16:01.683 --> 00:16:03.018
  • And they keep the body kind of laying in state and people come
  • 00:16:03.085 --> 00:16:05.154
  • Laying in state and people come over to see this dead body.
  • 00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:07.122
  • Over to see this dead body. so anyway, she went over to
  • 00:16:07.189 --> 00:16:08.223
  • So anyway, she went over to somebody's house where they
  • 00:16:08.290 --> 00:16:09.258
  • Somebody's house where they had died and they were in there
  • 00:16:09.324 --> 00:16:11.160
  • Had died and they were in there visiting and she kind of snuck
  • 00:16:11.226 --> 00:16:12.594
  • Visiting and she kind of snuck out by herself and went in to
  • 00:16:12.661 --> 00:16:14.430
  • Out by herself and went in to where this body was, all by
  • 00:16:14.496 --> 00:16:16.432
  • Where this body was, all by herself with him, and about 10
  • 00:16:16.498 --> 00:16:18.067
  • Herself with him, and about 10 or 15 minutes later, she raised
  • 00:16:18.133 --> 00:16:20.169
  • Or 15 minutes later, she raised this guy from the dead and
  • 00:16:20.235 --> 00:16:21.804
  • This guy from the dead and brought him back, and all of
  • 00:16:21.870 --> 00:16:23.539
  • Brought him back, and all of the other people saw him. and
  • 00:16:23.605 --> 00:16:24.473
  • The other people saw him. and anyway, she's now just doing
  • 00:16:24.540 --> 00:16:26.208
  • Anyway, she's now just doing great. and the thing that set
  • 00:16:26.275 --> 00:16:28.510
  • Great. and the thing that set her free was understanding the
  • 00:16:28.577 --> 00:16:31.346
  • Her free was understanding the grace of god instead of the law
  • 00:16:31.413 --> 00:16:33.649
  • Grace of god instead of the law and having to perform and earn
  • 00:16:33.715 --> 00:16:35.751
  • And having to perform and earn these things. and it changed her
  • 00:16:35.818 --> 00:16:37.786
  • These things. and it changed her life, it changed her ministry,
  • 00:16:37.853 --> 00:16:40.155
  • Life, it changed her ministry, it changed everything. i'm
  • 00:16:40.222 --> 00:16:42.124
  • It changed everything. i'm telling you brothers and sisters
  • 00:16:42.191 --> 00:16:43.325
  • Telling you brothers and sisters there's many people watching
  • 00:16:43.392 --> 00:16:44.526
  • There's many people watching this program that the things
  • 00:16:44.593 --> 00:16:46.128
  • This program that the things i'm saying may seem strange to
  • 00:16:46.195 --> 00:16:47.696
  • I'm saying may seem strange to you. it's not what you've been
  • 00:16:47.763 --> 00:16:48.864
  • You. it's not what you've been taught. it's not what you've
  • 00:16:48.931 --> 00:16:50.332
  • Taught. it's not what you've been heard, but i ham... i'm
  • 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:51.733
  • Been heard, but i ham... i'm reading this to you from
  • 00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:52.935
  • Reading this to you from scripture. and if you would
  • 00:16:53.001 --> 00:16:54.536
  • Scripture. and if you would receive it, that god loves you
  • 00:16:54.603 --> 00:16:56.572
  • Receive it, that god loves you because of what jesus did for
  • 00:16:56.638 --> 00:16:58.540
  • Because of what jesus did for you, not what you have done for
  • 00:16:58.607 --> 00:17:00.609
  • You, not what you have done for him, and if you could understand
  • 00:17:00.676 --> 00:17:02.845
  • Him, and if you could understand that you could experience
  • 00:17:02.911 --> 00:17:04.313
  • That you could experience the love of god in a way
  • 00:17:04.379 --> 00:17:05.714
  • The love of god in a way that you never have.
  • 00:17:05.781 --> 00:17:06.982
  • And then galatians,
  • 00:17:07.049 --> 00:17:07.950
  • And then galatians, chapter 5, verse 6, the last
  • 00:17:08.016 --> 00:17:09.518
  • Chapter 5, verse 6, the last part of that verse says,...
  • 00:17:09.585 --> 00:17:10.519
  • Part of that verse says,... faith works by love.
  • 00:17:10.586 --> 00:17:12.588
  • If you ever understood
  • 00:17:12.654 --> 00:17:14.289
  • If you ever understood the love of god and how
  • 00:17:14.356 --> 00:17:15.591
  • The love of god and how much he loves you, your faith
  • 00:17:15.657 --> 00:17:17.793
  • Much he loves you, your faith would go through the roof.
  • 00:17:17.860 --> 00:17:18.927
  • Would go through the roof. you would start seeing greater
  • 00:17:18.994 --> 00:17:20.462
  • You would start seeing greater manifestations. you would see
  • 00:17:20.529 --> 00:17:22.064
  • Manifestations. you would see more prayer answered. everything
  • 00:17:22.131 --> 00:17:24.833
  • More prayer answered. everything would work better if you could
  • 00:17:24.900 --> 00:17:26.268
  • Would work better if you could understand the grace of god.
  • 00:17:26.335 --> 00:17:28.670
  • And then he goes on to say
  • 00:17:28.737 --> 00:17:30.472
  • And then he goes on to say in verse 6, even as abraham
  • 00:17:30.539 --> 00:17:33.108
  • In verse 6, even as abraham believed god, and it was
  • 00:17:33.175 --> 00:17:34.443
  • Believed god, and it was accounted unto him
  • 00:17:34.510 --> 00:17:35.811
  • Accounted unto him for righteousness. and
  • 00:17:35.878 --> 00:17:37.412
  • In romans, chapter 4, paul uses
  • 00:17:37.479 --> 00:17:39.314
  • In romans, chapter 4, paul uses this same example, and he makes
  • 00:17:39.381 --> 00:17:41.083
  • This same example, and he makes it very clear that in genesis,
  • 00:17:41.150 --> 00:17:43.085
  • It very clear that in genesis, chapter 15, verse 6, god had
  • 00:17:43.152 --> 00:17:45.854
  • Chapter 15, verse 6, god had told abraham, if you can count
  • 00:17:45.921 --> 00:17:47.389
  • Told abraham, if you can count the stars in the sky or if
  • 00:17:47.456 --> 00:17:48.891
  • The stars in the sky or if you can number the grains
  • 00:17:48.957 --> 00:17:49.925
  • You can number the grains of sand on the seashore,
  • 00:17:49.992 --> 00:17:51.560
  • Of sand on the seashore, so shall your seed be.
  • 00:17:51.627 --> 00:17:53.162
  • And it says in genesis 15:6,
  • 00:17:53.228 --> 00:17:55.130
  • And it says in genesis 15:6, abraham believed god,
  • 00:17:55.197 --> 00:17:57.332
  • Abraham believed god, and it was counted unto
  • 00:17:57.399 --> 00:17:58.433
  • And it was counted unto him for righteousness.
  • 00:17:58.500 --> 00:17:59.801
  • And in romans 4, paul uses
  • 00:17:59.868 --> 00:18:02.437
  • And in romans 4, paul uses that exact example to say he
  • 00:18:02.504 --> 00:18:04.273
  • That exact example to say he became righteous the moment
  • 00:18:04.339 --> 00:18:06.041
  • Became righteous the moment he believed. and it was 17
  • 00:18:06.108 --> 00:18:08.810
  • He believed. and it was 17 years later when god gave
  • 00:18:08.877 --> 00:18:11.446
  • Years later when god gave him the... the ceremony of
  • 00:18:11.513 --> 00:18:15.551
  • Him the... the ceremony of circumcision. and it says in...
  • 00:18:15.617 --> 00:18:17.653
  • I think it's genesis chapter...
  • 00:18:17.719 --> 00:18:19.855
  • I think it's genesis chapter... 17:14, or whatever it is, it
  • 00:18:19.922 --> 00:18:22.424
  • 17:14, or whatever it is, it says that if you aren't
  • 00:18:22.491 --> 00:18:23.592
  • Says that if you aren't circumcised on the eighth
  • 00:18:23.659 --> 00:18:24.860
  • Circumcised on the eighth day, that soul shall be cut
  • 00:18:24.927 --> 00:18:26.762
  • Day, that soul shall be cut off from his people. and
  • 00:18:26.828 --> 00:18:28.363
  • Off from his people. and that phrase cut off
  • 00:18:28.430 --> 00:18:29.364
  • That phrase cut off means to be killed.
  • 00:18:29.431 --> 00:18:30.799
  • It was punishable by death
  • 00:18:30.866 --> 00:18:32.701
  • It was punishable by death if the males did not practice
  • 00:18:32.768 --> 00:18:35.103
  • If the males did not practice circumcision. and yet abraham
  • 00:18:35.170 --> 00:18:37.873
  • Circumcision. and yet abraham was justified and in right
  • 00:18:37.940 --> 00:18:40.075
  • Was justified and in right standing with god 17 years
  • 00:18:40.142 --> 00:18:42.611
  • Standing with god 17 years before the rite of circumcision
  • 00:18:42.678 --> 00:18:45.013
  • Before the rite of circumcision was given. and so romans 4,
  • 00:18:45.080 --> 00:18:46.448
  • Was given. and so romans 4, makes it very clear that the
  • 00:18:46.515 --> 00:18:48.417
  • Makes it very clear that the rite of circumcision was
  • 00:18:48.483 --> 00:18:50.118
  • Rite of circumcision was actually a fruit, a byproduct of
  • 00:18:50.185 --> 00:18:52.821
  • Actually a fruit, a byproduct of having relationship with god,
  • 00:18:52.888 --> 00:18:54.823
  • Having relationship with god, not something that gained
  • 00:18:54.890 --> 00:18:56.858
  • Not something that gained relationship with god. and the
  • 00:18:56.925 --> 00:18:58.860
  • Relationship with god. and the application to us today is that
  • 00:18:58.927 --> 00:19:00.829
  • Application to us today is that our holy living should be a
  • 00:19:00.896 --> 00:19:03.365
  • Our holy living should be a fruit and not the root of
  • 00:19:03.432 --> 00:19:06.101
  • Fruit and not the root of salvation. and so that's what
  • 00:19:06.168 --> 00:19:07.469
  • He's talking about. even as
  • 00:19:07.536 --> 00:19:08.604
  • He's talking about. even as abraham believed god, and
  • 00:19:08.670 --> 00:19:10.505
  • Abraham believed god, and it was accounted to him for
  • 00:19:10.572 --> 00:19:11.506
  • It was accounted to him for righteousness. know ye
  • 00:19:11.573 --> 00:19:13.075
  • Righteousness. know ye therefore that they which
  • 00:19:13.141 --> 00:19:14.309
  • Therefore that they which are of faith, the same are
  • 00:19:14.376 --> 00:19:16.378
  • Are of faith, the same are the children of abraham.
  • 00:19:16.445 --> 00:19:18.280
  • Did you know that this
  • 00:19:18.347 --> 00:19:19.147
  • Did you know that this was super offensive to the
  • 00:19:19.214 --> 00:19:21.783
  • Was super offensive to the jews of paul's day because
  • 00:19:21.850 --> 00:19:23.919
  • Jews of paul's day because they trusted in their physical
  • 00:19:23.986 --> 00:19:26.622
  • They trusted in their physical jewishness, not in their faith.
  • 00:19:26.688 --> 00:19:29.791
  • Jewishness, not in their faith. they believed that because they
  • 00:19:29.858 --> 00:19:31.260
  • They believed that because they were born of the seed of abraham
  • 00:19:31.326 --> 00:19:33.662
  • Were born of the seed of abraham that gave them automatic
  • 00:19:33.729 --> 00:19:35.430
  • That gave them automatic relationship with god. and paul
  • 00:19:35.497 --> 00:19:37.666
  • Relationship with god. and paul comes along saying, no, it's
  • 00:19:37.733 --> 00:19:39.201
  • Comes along saying, no, it's not those who are physical
  • 00:19:39.268 --> 00:19:40.736
  • Not those who are physical descendants. and he... i'm
  • 00:19:40.802 --> 00:19:42.471
  • Descendants. and he... i'm running out of time today, i
  • 00:19:42.537 --> 00:19:43.705
  • Running out of time today, i probably won't get to it, but
  • 00:19:43.772 --> 00:19:45.207
  • Probably won't get to it, but down in this same chapter, he
  • 00:19:45.274 --> 00:19:46.975
  • Down in this same chapter, he says those that are of faith
  • 00:19:47.042 --> 00:19:49.544
  • Says those that are of faith are abraham's seed, and heirs
  • 00:19:49.611 --> 00:19:52.714
  • Are abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. and
  • 00:19:52.781 --> 00:19:54.583
  • According to the promise. and boy, this was so offensive to
  • 00:19:54.650 --> 00:19:56.084
  • Boy, this was so offensive to the jews because they're saying
  • 00:19:56.151 --> 00:19:57.319
  • The jews because they're saying that even though i'm a physical
  • 00:19:57.386 --> 00:19:58.654
  • That even though i'm a physical jew, you're saying i don't have
  • 00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:00.188
  • Jew, you're saying i don't have a relationship with god? i
  • 00:20:00.255 --> 00:20:01.723
  • A relationship with god? i have to have the faith of
  • 00:20:01.790 --> 00:20:02.891
  • Have to have the faith of abraham? that's exactly
  • 00:20:02.958 --> 00:20:04.593
  • Abraham? that's exactly what he was saying.
  • 00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:05.694
  • So he says, know ye therefore
  • 00:20:05.761 --> 00:20:07.763
  • So he says, know ye therefore that they which are of faith,
  • 00:20:07.829 --> 00:20:09.431
  • That they which are of faith, the same are the children of
  • 00:20:09.498 --> 00:20:10.666
  • The same are the children of abraham. and the scripture,
  • 00:20:10.732 --> 00:20:11.967
  • Abraham. and the scripture, foreseeing that god would
  • 00:20:12.034 --> 00:20:13.468
  • Foreseeing that god would justify the heathen through
  • 00:20:13.535 --> 00:20:14.903
  • Justify the heathen through faith, preached before the
  • 00:20:14.970 --> 00:20:16.538
  • Faith, preached before the gospel unto abraham, saying,
  • 00:20:16.605 --> 00:20:18.340
  • Gospel unto abraham, saying, in thee shall all nations
  • 00:20:18.407 --> 00:20:20.942
  • In thee shall all nations be blessed. that's a
  • 00:20:21.009 --> 00:20:22.144
  • Quotation from genesis,
  • 00:20:22.210 --> 00:20:23.412
  • Quotation from genesis, chapter 12, and it was
  • 00:20:23.478 --> 00:20:25.013
  • Chapter 12, and it was talking about not just the
  • 00:20:25.080 --> 00:20:26.348
  • Talking about not just the jewish nation, but all nations.
  • 00:20:26.415 --> 00:20:28.417
  • Jewish nation, but all nations. any person who would put faith
  • 00:20:28.483 --> 00:20:30.719
  • Any person who would put faith in jesus could have relationship
  • 00:20:30.786 --> 00:20:33.455
  • In jesus could have relationship with god, regardless of whether
  • 00:20:33.522 --> 00:20:34.890
  • With god, regardless of whether you became a jew, regardless

  • Life. it wasn't based on your performance, it was based
  • 00:20:42.931 --> 00:20:44.566
  • Performance, it was based on what jesus did for you,

  • On what jesus did for you, and all you had to do is
  • 00:20:46.168 --> 00:20:47.235
  • And all you had to do is receive it by faith.

  • 00:20:55.377 --> 00:20:57.346
  • The law are under the curse: for it is written, cursed is

  • That's the last verse of
  • 00:21:04.786 --> 00:21:06.154
  • That's the last verse of deuteronomy, chapter 27,
  • 00:21:06.221 --> 00:21:07.856
  • Deuteronomy, chapter 27, is what he's quoting from.
  • 00:21:07.923 --> 00:21:09.224
  • Is what he's quoting from. and it gave all of the
  • 00:21:09.291 --> 00:21:10.392
  • And it gave all of the commandments and then
  • 00:21:10.459 --> 00:21:11.293
  • Commandments and then it says, you're cursed if you
  • 00:21:11.360 --> 00:21:13.061
  • It says, you're cursed if you don't do them all. it did... it
  • 00:21:13.128 --> 00:21:15.731
  • Don't do them all. it did... it didn't say just do the best
  • 00:21:15.797 --> 00:21:16.998
  • Didn't say just do the best you can and if you get, you
  • 00:21:17.065 --> 00:21:18.633
  • You can and if you get, you know, 60% or more, well then,
  • 00:21:18.700 --> 00:21:21.236
  • Know, 60% or more, well then, you're... you're in, you pass.
  • 00:21:21.303 --> 00:21:22.604
  • You're... you're in, you pass. no, you have to make 100. if you
  • 00:21:22.671 --> 00:21:24.639
  • No, you have to make 100. if you miss in one point, you become
  • 00:21:24.706 --> 00:21:25.974
  • Miss in one point, you become guilty of all, james, chapter 2,
  • 00:21:26.041 --> 00:21:28.276
  • Guilty of all, james, chapter 2, and verse 10. and so this is
  • 00:21:28.343 --> 00:21:30.278
  • And verse 10. and so this is saying that the... he's quoting
  • 00:21:30.345 --> 00:21:31.880
  • Saying that the... he's quoting the old testament scripture that
  • 00:21:31.947 --> 00:21:33.749
  • The old testament scripture that you're cursed if you don't keep
  • 00:21:33.815 --> 00:21:35.584
  • You're cursed if you don't keep every single command. for those
  • 00:21:35.650 --> 00:21:38.320
  • Every single command. for those who are promoting the law, they
  • 00:21:38.387 --> 00:21:40.422
  • Who are promoting the law, they don't ever promote it this way.
  • 00:21:40.489 --> 00:21:42.491
  • Don't ever promote it this way. they will just say, do the best
  • 00:21:42.557 --> 00:21:43.759
  • They will just say, do the best you can, and they will even say
  • 00:21:43.825 --> 00:21:45.127
  • You can, and they will even say that you won't be perfect, but
  • 00:21:45.193 --> 00:21:46.328
  • That you won't be perfect, but just do the best you can. no,
  • 00:21:46.395 --> 00:21:48.497
  • Just do the best you can. no, you have to either be perfect,
  • 00:21:48.563 --> 00:21:49.965
  • You have to either be perfect, or you need to get out from
  • 00:21:50.031 --> 00:21:50.999
  • Or you need to get out from under that law and quit relating
  • 00:21:51.066 --> 00:21:53.335
  • Under that law and quit relating to god based on your own
  • 00:21:53.402 --> 00:21:54.770
  • To god based on your own performance and just receive
  • 00:21:54.836 --> 00:21:56.471

  • 00:21:56.538 --> 00:21:58.440
  • The goodness of god as a gift and not a wage to be
  • 00:21:58.507 --> 00:22:00.542
  • Gift and not a wage to be earned. man, that's huge.

  • And look at what he goes
  • 00:22:04.246 --> 00:22:05.313
  • And look at what he goes on to say. he says in
  • 00:22:05.380 --> 00:22:07.382
  • On to say. he says in verse 11,... that no man
  • 00:22:07.449 --> 00:22:08.650
  • Verse 11,... that no man is justified by the law in
  • 00:22:08.717 --> 00:22:09.918
  • Is justified by the law in the sight of god, it is evident:
  • 00:22:09.985 --> 00:22:11.520
  • The sight of god, it is evident: for, the just shall live by
  • 00:22:11.586 --> 00:22:12.821
  • For, the just shall live by faith. and look at this in verse
  • 00:22:12.888 --> 00:22:14.589
  • Faith. and look at this in verse 12, and the law is not of faith.
  • 00:22:14.656 --> 00:22:18.527
  • 12, and the law is not of faith. put that together with the end
  • 00:22:18.593 --> 00:22:20.762
  • Put that together with the end of romans, chapter 14, verse 23,
  • 00:22:20.829 --> 00:22:23.298
