- Grateful that andrew didn't give
- 00:00:20.310 --> 00:00:22.679
- Up years ago when that man

- >> welcome to our friday's
- 00:00:29.819 --> 00:00:30.887
- Broadcast of the gospel truth.
- 00:00:30.887 --> 00:00:33.089
- This week i've started teaching
- 00:00:33.089 --> 00:00:34.924
- On the true nature of god, and
- 00:00:34.924 --> 00:00:36.993
- I tell you this is just awesome.
- 00:00:36.993 --> 00:00:39.462
- This is one of the foundational
- 00:00:39.462 --> 00:00:41.297
- Things that god has used in
- 00:00:41.297 --> 00:00:42.866
- My life. i started teaching
- 00:00:42.866 --> 00:00:45.268
- This way back in 1980, is
- 00:00:45.268 --> 00:00:49.706
- When i... i actually had a
- 00:00:49.706 --> 00:00:50.940
- Series that was entitled
- 00:00:50.940 --> 00:00:52.142
- The law is not of faith. and
- 00:00:52.142 --> 00:00:54.310
- That's incorporated into
- 00:00:54.310 --> 00:00:55.945
- This, but i've just expanded it
- 00:00:55.945 --> 00:00:57.647
- To talk about the true nature
- 00:00:57.647 --> 00:00:59.516
- Of god. and i tell you this is
- 00:00:59.516 --> 00:01:01.684
- Just elementary christianity.
- 00:01:01.684 --> 00:01:03.987
- If you don't understand who god
- 00:01:03.987 --> 00:01:06.256
- Really is, then satan is able to
- 00:01:06.256 --> 00:01:08.625
- Accuse him and misrepresent
- 00:01:08.625 --> 00:01:10.226
- Him and lie about him.
- 00:01:10.226 --> 00:01:11.895
- You know, i know my wife.
- 00:01:11.961 --> 00:01:13.630
- You know, i know my wife. we've been married now for
- 00:01:13.696 --> 00:01:15.565
- We've been married now for 52, going on 53 years, and i
- 00:01:15.632 --> 00:01:18.668
- 52, going on 53 years, and i know jamie. and if you were to
- 00:01:18.735 --> 00:01:20.603
- Know jamie. and if you were to come to me and start maligning
- 00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:23.039
- Come to me and start maligning her and saying something, i
- 00:01:23.106 --> 00:01:24.307
- Her and saying something, i could tell you whether that is
- 00:01:24.374 --> 00:01:26.176
- Could tell you whether that is consistent with who she is or
- 00:01:26.242 --> 00:01:28.211
- Consistent with who she is or whether it isn't. and if you
- 00:01:28.278 --> 00:01:30.046
- Whether it isn't. and if you were to just bring out some
- 00:01:30.113 --> 00:01:31.514
- Were to just bring out some outlandish lie against her, i
- 00:01:31.581 --> 00:01:34.017
- Outlandish lie against her, i could immediately reject the
- 00:01:34.083 --> 00:01:35.451
- Could immediately reject the thing, because i know her and i
- 00:01:35.518 --> 00:01:36.886
- Thing, because i know her and i know what she's capable of. but
- 00:01:36.953 --> 00:01:39.222
- Know what she's capable of. but did you know that most people
- 00:01:39.289 --> 00:01:40.456
- Did you know that most people don't really have an intimate
- 00:01:40.523 --> 00:01:42.025
- Don't really have an intimate knowledge of who god is, and
- 00:01:42.091 --> 00:01:44.160
- Knowledge of who god is, and because of that, the devil can
- 00:01:44.227 --> 00:01:46.462
- Because of that, the devil can come and say, oh yeah, god may
- 00:01:46.529 --> 00:01:48.398
- Come and say, oh yeah, god may do something for andrew and
- 00:01:48.464 --> 00:01:49.999
- Do something for andrew and maybe he healed people in the
- 00:01:50.066 --> 00:01:51.868
- Maybe he healed people in the bible and maybe this, but he
- 00:01:51.935 --> 00:01:53.269
- Bible and maybe this, but he won't do it for you, and you
- 00:01:53.336 --> 00:01:55.939
- Won't do it for you, and you just, you let that doubt, that
- 00:01:56.005 --> 00:01:59.442
- Just, you let that doubt, that criticism of god resonate in you
- 00:01:59.509 --> 00:02:02.879
- Criticism of god resonate in you because you don't truly know
- 00:02:02.946 --> 00:02:04.214
- Because you don't truly know god. you know there was an
- 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.282
- God. you know there was an instant... and... and let me
- 00:02:06.349 --> 00:02:07.917
- Instant... and... and let me also say it this way. that you
- 00:02:07.984 --> 00:02:09.018
- Also say it this way. that you don't just come to know god
- 00:02:09.085 --> 00:02:10.453
- Don't just come to know god perfectly all at once. it's a
- 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.155
- Perfectly all at once. it's a growth process. so even
- 00:02:12.222 --> 00:02:14.324
- Growth process. so even after i began to understand
- 00:02:14.390 --> 00:02:15.858
- After i began to understand some of the things that
- 00:02:15.925 --> 00:02:17.327
- Some of the things that i'm sharing right here, did
- 00:02:17.393 --> 00:02:19.095
- I'm sharing right here, did you know i had to grow in it.
- 00:02:19.162 --> 00:02:20.863
- You know i had to grow in it. and it seems like that you take
- 00:02:20.930 --> 00:02:22.966
- And it seems like that you take two steps forward and one step
- 00:02:23.032 --> 00:02:24.867
- Two steps forward and one step back. and then, you know, you're
- 00:02:24.934 --> 00:02:26.336
- Back. and then, you know, you're progressing but it's not just
- 00:02:26.402 --> 00:02:28.137
- Progressing but it's not just perfect. you're... you waver,
- 00:02:28.204 --> 00:02:30.106
- Perfect. you're... you waver, and you have to grow and get
- 00:02:30.173 --> 00:02:31.574
- And you have to grow and get stronger in it. and so even
- 00:02:31.641 --> 00:02:33.443
- Stronger in it. and so even after i began to see some
- 00:02:33.509 --> 00:02:34.711
- After i began to see some of these things, i was in a
- 00:02:34.777 --> 00:02:36.479
- Of these things, i was in a situation where right after
- 00:02:36.546 --> 00:02:38.014
- Situation where right after jamie and i got married, i was
- 00:02:38.081 --> 00:02:40.416
- Jamie and i got married, i was wrong thinking that if i was
- 00:02:40.483 --> 00:02:42.619
- Wrong thinking that if i was called to the ministry, that i
- 00:02:42.685 --> 00:02:44.454
- Called to the ministry, that i was sinning against god if i
- 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:45.922
- Was sinning against god if i worked a secular job, because
- 00:02:45.989 --> 00:02:47.690
- Worked a secular job, because he had called me to the ministry
- 00:02:47.757 --> 00:02:49.025
- He had called me to the ministry and i was going to devote myself
- 00:02:49.092 --> 00:02:50.693
- And i was going to devote myself fully to the ministry, so i
- 00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:52.128
- Fully to the ministry, so i didn't work, and because of it,
- 00:02:52.195 --> 00:02:53.529
- Didn't work, and because of it, jamie and i were struggling
- 00:02:53.596 --> 00:02:54.731
- Jamie and i were struggling financially. and it wasn't god's
- 00:02:54.797 --> 00:02:56.699
- Financially. and it wasn't god's fault, it wasn't god that wasn't
- 00:02:56.766 --> 00:02:58.201
- Fault, it wasn't god that wasn't providing, it was me that wasn't
- 00:02:58.268 --> 00:03:00.436
- Providing, it was me that wasn't doing the right thing. the
- 00:03:00.503 --> 00:03:01.638
- Doing the right thing. the scripture says, if you don't
- 00:03:01.704 --> 00:03:02.839
- Scripture says, if you don't work, don't eat. and i wasn't
- 00:03:02.905 --> 00:03:05.642
- Work, don't eat. and i wasn't working, and so we were
- 00:03:05.708 --> 00:03:06.876
- Working, and so we were struggling to eat, and we were
- 00:03:06.943 --> 00:03:09.078
- Struggling to eat, and we were really having a hard time. and
- 00:03:09.145 --> 00:03:10.446
- Really having a hard time. and so there was a time right after
- 00:03:10.513 --> 00:03:12.181
- So there was a time right after jamie and i first got married
- 00:03:12.248 --> 00:03:13.616
- That we had no food. we hadn't
- 00:03:15.351 --> 00:03:17.020
- That we had no food. we hadn't eaten in days. and i mean, we
- 00:03:17.086 --> 00:03:19.956
- Eaten in days. and i mean, we had nothing. you know, sometimes
- 00:03:20.023 --> 00:03:21.824
- Had nothing. you know, sometimes when people talk about having
- 00:03:21.891 --> 00:03:23.026
- When people talk about having nothing, they mean that they've
- 00:03:23.092 --> 00:03:24.127
- Nothing, they mean that they've got canned goods, they may have
- 00:03:24.193 --> 00:03:26.095
- Got canned goods, they may have something frozen. we had
- 00:03:26.162 --> 00:03:27.964
- Something frozen. we had nothing. we had a little
- 00:03:28.031 --> 00:03:29.666
- Nothing. we had a little container of salt that we kept
- 00:03:29.732 --> 00:03:32.201
- Container of salt that we kept in the fridge, because in texas
- 00:03:32.268 --> 00:03:34.137
- In the fridge, because in texas where we lived, it was humid,
- 00:03:34.203 --> 00:03:36.005
- Where we lived, it was humid, and it would clump up the salt
- 00:03:36.072 --> 00:03:37.540
- And it would clump up the salt and so we kept the fr... salt in
- 00:03:37.607 --> 00:03:39.475
- And so we kept the fr... salt in the fridge. you open up the
- 00:03:39.542 --> 00:03:40.777
- The fridge. you open up the fridge, that's it. there wasn't
- 00:03:40.843 --> 00:03:43.012
- Fridge, that's it. there wasn't any ketchup, there wasn't
- 00:03:43.079 --> 00:03:44.514
- Any ketchup, there wasn't anything. there was one little
- 00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:45.915
- Anything. there was one little container of salt in our fridge,
- 00:03:45.982 --> 00:03:47.917
- Container of salt in our fridge, and we had been days without
- 00:03:47.984 --> 00:03:49.252
- And we had been days without eating. and so, jamie took some
- 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.955
- Eating. and so, jamie took some clothes to go wash. she went
- 00:03:53.022 --> 00:03:54.657
- Clothes to go wash. she went to the washateria. it was in the
- 00:03:54.724 --> 00:03:55.958
- To the washateria. it was in the same apartment complex we lived
- 00:03:56.025 --> 00:03:57.760
- Same apartment complex we lived in. but because she didn't want
- 00:03:57.827 --> 00:03:59.329
- In. but because she didn't want to carry all of those clothes,
- 00:03:59.395 --> 00:04:00.830
- To carry all of those clothes, she put them in the car and
- 00:04:00.897 --> 00:04:01.931
- She put them in the car and drove over there. and so while
- 00:04:01.998 --> 00:04:03.066
- Drove over there. and so while she was gone washing clothes, i
- 00:04:03.132 --> 00:04:06.536
- She was gone washing clothes, i was praying, and i was... i was
- 00:04:06.602 --> 00:04:10.306
- Was praying, and i was... i was feeling terrible about not
- 00:04:10.373 --> 00:04:12.875
- Feeling terrible about not providing for jamie. we had just
- 00:04:12.942 --> 00:04:14.477
- Providing for jamie. we had just been married a short period
- 00:04:14.544 --> 00:04:15.712
- Been married a short period of time, and we had been days
- 00:04:15.778 --> 00:04:17.246
- Of time, and we had been days without eating, and you know
- 00:04:17.313 --> 00:04:18.181
- Without eating, and you know praise god for jamie. she never
- 00:04:18.247 --> 00:04:20.783
- Praise god for jamie. she never one time complained. now i think
- 00:04:20.850 --> 00:04:22.618
- One time complained. now i think she complained to god. and i
- 00:04:22.685 --> 00:04:24.887
- She complained to god. and i heard her one time praying, and
- 00:04:24.954 --> 00:04:26.356
- Heard her one time praying, and she said, i don't care what he
- 00:04:26.422 --> 00:04:27.824
- She said, i don't care what he says, but if our baby ever goes
- 00:04:27.890 --> 00:04:30.626
- Says, but if our baby ever goes without food, i'll go get a job.
- 00:04:30.693 --> 00:04:32.862
- Without food, i'll go get a job. i heard her say that, but she
- 00:04:32.929 --> 00:04:34.230
- I heard her say that, but she didn't say it to me, she was
- 00:04:34.297 --> 00:04:35.465
- Didn't say it to me, she was talking to the lord. but anyway,
- 00:04:35.531 --> 00:04:37.700
- Talking to the lord. but anyway, this is before we had a child.
- 00:04:37.767 --> 00:04:39.068
- This is before we had a child. and i was... we were struggling,
- 00:04:39.135 --> 00:04:40.803
- And i was... we were struggling, and i was just praying and
- 00:04:40.870 --> 00:04:42.105
- And i was just praying and saying, god, this isn't right,
- 00:04:42.171 --> 00:04:43.573
- Saying, god, this isn't right, what's... what's wrong? and i
- 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.975
- What's... what's wrong? and i actually got to doubting god.
- 00:04:46.042 --> 00:04:48.378
- Actually got to doubting god. and i... i was saying, god,
- 00:04:48.444 --> 00:04:49.612
- And i... i was saying, god, you... you aren't coming
- 00:04:49.679 --> 00:04:50.680
- You... you aren't coming through. what's wrong?
- 00:04:50.747 --> 00:04:52.915
- Through. what's wrong? you said you called me
- 00:04:52.982 --> 00:04:54.150
- You said you called me into the ministry, you said
- 00:04:54.217 --> 00:04:55.385
- Into the ministry, you said you'd provide my needs. and
- 00:04:55.451 --> 00:04:56.686
- You'd provide my needs. and i was totally wrong in the
- 00:04:56.753 --> 00:04:57.920
- I was totally wrong in the attitude i had. but i was just
- 00:04:57.987 --> 00:04:59.989
- Attitude i had. but i was just venting and saying all of these
- 00:05:00.056 --> 00:05:01.457
- Venting and saying all of these negative things to the lord.
- 00:05:01.524 --> 00:05:03.626
- Negative things to the lord. and in the process of this, i
- 00:05:03.693 --> 00:05:05.395
- And in the process of this, i actually said, god, i'd give my
- 00:05:05.461 --> 00:05:07.597
- Actually said, god, i'd give my right arm to feed jamie. and
- 00:05:07.663 --> 00:05:11.200
- Right arm to feed jamie. and as soon as i said that the lord
- 00:05:11.267 --> 00:05:12.902
- As soon as i said that the lord spoke to me, and he says, i gave
- 00:05:12.969 --> 00:05:15.371
- Spoke to me, and he says, i gave my son to supply your needs. and
- 00:05:15.438 --> 00:05:18.841
- My son to supply your needs. and i mean all... i mean, it was god
- 00:05:18.908 --> 00:05:21.411
- I mean all... i mean, it was god speaking to me. and all of a
- 00:05:21.477 --> 00:05:22.612
- Speaking to me. and all of a sudden i realized that i was
- 00:05:22.678 --> 00:05:24.814
- Sudden i realized that i was impugning god's character saying
- 00:05:24.881 --> 00:05:26.582
- Impugning god's character saying that i loved jamie more than god
- 00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:28.618
- That i loved jamie more than god loved me and jamie. and that i
- 00:05:28.684 --> 00:05:31.521
- Loved me and jamie. and that i was saying that god was just
- 00:05:31.587 --> 00:05:32.855
- Was saying that god was just like there with his arms folded
- 00:05:32.922 --> 00:05:34.724
- Like there with his arms folded and he was disconnected and
- 00:05:34.791 --> 00:05:37.059
- And he was disconnected and didn't care about our needs.
- 00:05:37.126 --> 00:05:38.528
- Didn't care about our needs. and when i saw that, man, i
- 00:05:38.594 --> 00:05:40.830
- And when i saw that, man, i repented. and i said, god, i'm
- 00:05:40.897 --> 00:05:43.266
- Repented. and i said, god, i'm sorry. and the lord spoke
- 00:05:43.332 --> 00:05:44.534
- Sorry. and the lord spoke to me this verse out of
- 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:45.635
- Luke, chapter 12, it says,
- 00:05:45.701 --> 00:05:47.437
- Luke, chapter 12, it says, fear not, little flock; for
- 00:05:47.503 --> 00:05:49.405
- Fear not, little flock; for it's your father's good pleasure
- 00:05:49.472 --> 00:05:51.374
- It's your father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
- 00:05:51.441 --> 00:05:53.543
- And i mean, all of a sudden,
- 00:05:53.609 --> 00:05:56.045
- And i mean, all of a sudden, i just felt the love of god,
- 00:05:56.112 --> 00:05:58.214
- I just felt the love of god, and i knew that god wasn't
- 00:05:58.281 --> 00:06:00.116
- And i knew that god wasn't the one that was holding out on
- 00:06:00.183 --> 00:06:01.384
- The one that was holding out on us. at that time, i didn't know
- 00:06:01.451 --> 00:06:03.453
- Us. at that time, i didn't know that i was the problem. i didn't
- 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.354
- That i was the problem. i didn't know where the problem was,
- 00:06:05.421 --> 00:06:06.522
- Know where the problem was, but i knew it wasn't god. and
- 00:06:06.589 --> 00:06:08.357
- But i knew it wasn't god. and i mean my faith just went
- 00:06:08.424 --> 00:06:09.826
- I mean my faith just went through the roof. it says
- 00:06:09.892 --> 00:06:11.394
- In galatians, chapter 5, verse
- 00:06:11.461 --> 00:06:12.962
- In galatians, chapter 5, verse 6, the latter part of that
- 00:06:13.029 --> 00:06:14.197
- 6, the latter part of that verse, faith works by
- 00:06:14.263 --> 00:06:15.765
- Verse, faith works by love. and when i saw
- 00:06:15.832 --> 00:06:17.266
- How much god loved me,
- 00:06:17.333 --> 00:06:18.734
- How much god loved me, i got a little glimpse of
- 00:06:18.801 --> 00:06:21.270
- I got a little glimpse of his love, he just revealed
- 00:06:21.337 --> 00:06:22.939
- His love, he just revealed to me his love, and when
- 00:06:23.005 --> 00:06:24.841
- To me his love, and when i did, my faith went through
- 00:06:24.907 --> 00:06:26.476
- I did, my faith went through the roof. so when jamie got
- 00:06:26.542 --> 00:06:28.010
- The roof. so when jamie got back from washing clothes,
- 00:06:28.077 --> 00:06:29.712
- Back from washing clothes, i told her, i said, we are going
- 00:06:29.779 --> 00:06:31.047
- I told her, i said, we are going to eat today. god loves us and
- 00:06:31.113 --> 00:06:33.616
- To eat today. god loves us and god is... i don't know what the
- 00:06:33.683 --> 00:06:34.884
- God is... i don't know what the problem is, but god is going
- 00:06:34.951 --> 00:06:36.385
- Problem is, but god is going to supply us with food today.
- 00:06:36.452 --> 00:06:38.888
- To supply us with food today. and so for lunch, we didn't eat
- 00:06:38.955 --> 00:06:40.790
- And so for lunch, we didn't eat anything. for supper, we didn't
- 00:06:40.857 --> 00:06:42.458
- Anything. for supper, we didn't eat anything. we had nothing.
- 00:06:42.525 --> 00:06:44.827
- Eat anything. we had nothing. and then we went to church that
- 00:06:44.894 --> 00:06:48.297
- And then we went to church that night, and a man came up to me,
- 00:06:48.364 --> 00:06:50.266
- Night, and a man came up to me, and he says, would you all like
- 00:06:50.333 --> 00:06:51.267
- And he says, would you all like to come over to my apartment
- 00:06:51.334 --> 00:06:52.602
- To come over to my apartment after church tonight? and i
- 00:06:52.668 --> 00:06:53.769
- After church tonight? and i said, yeah, and they lived in
- 00:06:53.836 --> 00:06:54.804
- Said, yeah, and they lived in the same apartment complex
- 00:06:54.871 --> 00:06:56.138
- The same apartment complex we did. and so we went over
- 00:06:56.205 --> 00:06:58.407
- We did. and so we went over there thinking, praise god,
- 00:06:58.474 --> 00:06:59.675
- There thinking, praise god, maybe they're going to give us
- 00:06:59.742 --> 00:07:00.676
- Maybe they're going to give us something to eat. now we didn't
- 00:07:00.743 --> 00:07:01.978
- Something to eat. now we didn't mention it and we didn't act
- 00:07:02.044 --> 00:07:03.446
- Mention it and we didn't act hungry, but we were hoping that
- 00:07:03.513 --> 00:07:05.915
- Hungry, but we were hoping that they would give us something
- 00:07:05.982 --> 00:07:06.816
- They would give us something to eat. anyway, we visited for
- 00:07:06.883 --> 00:07:08.251
- To eat. anyway, we visited for about an hour. they didn't say
- 00:07:08.317 --> 00:07:10.119
- About an hour. they didn't say anything. they didn't even offer
- 00:07:10.186 --> 00:07:11.387
- Anything. they didn't even offer us anything to drink. and so we
- 00:07:11.454 --> 00:07:13.389
- Us anything to drink. and so we said, well we got to go, and so
- 00:07:13.456 --> 00:07:14.657
- Said, well we got to go, and so we were getting ready to head
- 00:07:14.724 --> 00:07:16.125
- We were getting ready to head home. and as we left, he says,
- 00:07:16.192 --> 00:07:18.261
- Home. and as we left, he says, oh, i came over to your
- 00:07:18.327 --> 00:07:19.629
- Oh, i came over to your apartment today, and he said, i
- 00:07:19.695 --> 00:07:21.564
- Apartment today, and he said, i caught all of these fish, and he
- 00:07:21.631 --> 00:07:23.232
- Caught all of these fish, and he gave me a box like this big of
- 00:07:23.299 --> 00:07:26.369
- Gave me a box like this big of nothing but fish that he had
- 00:07:26.435 --> 00:07:28.804
- Nothing but fish that he had caught. and he says, i brought
- 00:07:28.871 --> 00:07:30.740
- Caught. and he says, i brought those over to your house today,
- 00:07:30.806 --> 00:07:32.174
- Those over to your house today, but your car wasn't there, we
- 00:07:32.241 --> 00:07:33.643
- But your car wasn't there, we knew that you weren't there, so
- 00:07:33.709 --> 00:07:34.810
- Knew that you weren't there, so i thought i'd just wait and give
- 00:07:34.877 --> 00:07:36.112
- I thought i'd just wait and give them to you tonight. did you
- 00:07:36.178 --> 00:07:37.580
- Them to you tonight. did you know the only time that that car
- 00:07:37.647 --> 00:07:39.982
- Know the only time that that car was gone all day long was when i
- 00:07:40.049 --> 00:07:42.885
- Was gone all day long was when i was praying and god showed me,
- 00:07:42.952 --> 00:07:45.354
- Fear not, little flock;
- 00:07:45.421 --> 00:07:46.722
- Fear not, little flock; it's your father's good
- 00:07:46.789 --> 00:07:47.890
- It's your father's good pleasure to give you the
- 00:07:47.957 --> 00:07:48.891
- Pleasure to give you the kingdom. and he showed
- 00:07:48.958 --> 00:07:50.359
- Me how much he loved me,
- 00:07:50.426 --> 00:07:51.527
- Me how much he loved me, and all of a sudden my faith
- 00:07:51.594 --> 00:07:53.095
- And all of a sudden my faith welled up. at that exact moment,
- 00:07:53.162 --> 00:07:55.264
- Welled up. at that exact moment, god was meeting our need, but
- 00:07:55.331 --> 00:07:57.266
- God was meeting our need, but the person he was using to
- 00:07:57.333 --> 00:07:58.501
- The person he was using to supply that need didn't think we
- 00:07:58.568 --> 00:08:00.670
- Supply that need didn't think we were home, and so he waited
- 00:08:00.736 --> 00:08:02.572
- Were home, and so he waited until we were over at his house
- 00:08:02.638 --> 00:08:03.773
- Until we were over at his house to give us that food. and, we
- 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:05.875
- To give us that food. and, we must have had, i don't know
- 00:08:05.942 --> 00:08:07.043
- Must have had, i don't know exactly. we didn't say anything.
- 00:08:07.109 --> 00:08:08.611
- Exactly. we didn't say anything. we did... we never told anybody
- 00:08:08.678 --> 00:08:10.313
- We did... we never told anybody what our needs were, but
- 00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:11.280
- What our needs were, but apparently, we acted so excited
- 00:08:11.347 --> 00:08:14.083
- Apparently, we acted so excited about getting this food that he
- 00:08:14.150 --> 00:08:16.552
- About getting this food that he says, oh well here, let me give
- 00:08:16.619 --> 00:08:17.687
- Says, oh well here, let me give you some other stuff to go with
- 00:08:17.753 --> 00:08:18.788
- You some other stuff to go with it, and he gave us some beans
- 00:08:18.854 --> 00:08:19.989
- It, and he gave us some beans and some other things. and
- 00:08:20.056 --> 00:08:21.324
- And some other things. and anyway, we rushed home, and
- 00:08:21.390 --> 00:08:23.259
- Anyway, we rushed home, and jamie cooked it up, and right
- 00:08:23.326 --> 00:08:25.428
- Jamie cooked it up, and right before midnight we sat down and
- 00:08:25.494 --> 00:08:28.030
- Before midnight we sat down and had a meal. and then the next
- 00:08:28.097 --> 00:08:29.765
- Had a meal. and then the next day was my birthday, and a woman
- 00:08:29.832 --> 00:08:32.268
- Day was my birthday, and a woman from the church gave me a whole
- 00:08:32.335 --> 00:08:34.103
- From the church gave me a whole cardboard box full of
- 00:08:34.170 --> 00:08:35.705
- Cardboard box full of porterhouse steaks. there must
- 00:08:35.771 --> 00:08:37.206
- Porterhouse steaks. there must have been 30 or 40 of them, and
- 00:08:37.273 --> 00:08:38.874
- Have been 30 or 40 of them, and we went from having nothing
- 00:08:38.941 --> 00:08:40.076
- We went from having nothing to eat for days to eating steak
- 00:08:40.142 --> 00:08:42.578
- To eat for days to eating steak and all these kind of things.
- 00:08:42.645 --> 00:08:44.146
- And all these kind of things. and it was all because i...
- 00:08:44.213 --> 00:08:46.415
- And it was all because i... i understood the true nature
- 00:08:46.482 --> 00:08:49.485
- I understood the true nature of god that he loved me,
- 00:08:49.552 --> 00:08:50.720
- Of god that he loved me, and when i understood
- 00:08:50.786 --> 00:08:51.821
- And when i understood his love, my faith abound
- 00:08:51.887 --> 00:08:53.723
- His love, my faith abound and it broke the hindrance,
- 00:08:53.789 --> 00:08:55.625
- And it broke the hindrance, and god's supply came through.
- 00:08:55.691 --> 00:08:58.294
- And god's supply came through. i can promise you that if you're

- Anything that you're dealing with, if you don't understand
- 00:09:08.037 --> 00:09:10.206
- With, if you don't understand the true nature of god, then
- 00:09:10.272 --> 00:09:12.475
- The true nature of god, then satan will be able to lie to
- 00:09:12.541 --> 00:09:14.377
- Satan will be able to lie to you and tell you that, oh yeah,
- 00:09:14.443 --> 00:09:16.479
- You and tell you that, oh yeah, god's good for andrew and for

- 00:09:24.854 --> 00:09:27.857
- Are all lies. and to be able to reject those lies, there's so
- 00:09:27.923 --> 00:09:29.558
- Reject those lies, there's so many different ways that satan
- 00:09:29.625 --> 00:09:31.160
- Many different ways that satan can lie and impugn god's
- 00:09:31.227 --> 00:09:32.795
- Can lie and impugn god's character that you can't deal
- 00:09:32.862 --> 00:09:35.031
- Character that you can't deal with every individual lie. what
- 00:09:35.097 --> 00:09:36.699
- With every individual lie. what you need to do is just come
- 00:09:36.766 --> 00:09:37.967
- You need to do is just come to realize the goodness of
- 00:09:38.034 --> 00:09:39.702
- To realize the goodness of god, and once you understand
- 00:09:39.769 --> 00:09:41.037
- That god is love, 1 john
- 00:09:41.103 --> 00:09:43.472
- That god is love, 1 john 4:8 and 16, and that's
- 00:09:43.539 --> 00:09:45.474
- Not just one of his
- 00:09:45.541 --> 00:09:46.409
- Not just one of his characteristics, that's his core
- 00:09:46.475 --> 00:09:48.210
- Characteristics, that's his core nature. everything he does is
- 00:09:48.277 --> 00:09:50.379

- Against the nature of god. so yesterday i was sharing
- 00:10:01.757 --> 00:10:04.460
- Out of romans, chapter 5, that
- 00:10:04.527 --> 00:10:06.328
- Out of romans, chapter 5, that until the law sin was in the
- 00:10:06.395 --> 00:10:07.830
- Until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed
- 00:10:07.897 --> 00:10:10.466
- World: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. and
- 00:10:10.533 --> 00:10:12.435
- I went back to the book
- 00:10:12.501 --> 00:10:13.803
- I went back to the book of genesis, and showed
- 00:10:13.869 --> 00:10:15.171
- Of genesis, and showed you that when god drove
- 00:10:15.237 --> 00:10:16.706
- You that when god drove adam and eve out of the garden,
- 00:10:16.772 --> 00:10:19.341
- Adam and eve out of the garden, it wasn't rejection, it wasn't
- 00:10:19.408 --> 00:10:21.377
- It wasn't rejection, it wasn't wrath, it wasn't punishment. it
- 00:10:21.444 --> 00:10:24.213
- Wrath, it wasn't punishment. it was mercy and it was actually
- 00:10:24.280 --> 00:10:25.815
- Was mercy and it was actually an act of love. and i know, if
- 00:10:25.881 --> 00:10:28.317
- An act of love. and i know, if you hadn't heard what i said
- 00:10:28.384 --> 00:10:29.719
- You hadn't heard what i said yesterday, that may come as a
- 00:10:29.785 --> 00:10:31.087
- Yesterday, that may come as a total shock because people just
- 00:10:31.153 --> 00:10:32.855
- Total shock because people just immediately take god driving
- 00:10:32.922 --> 00:10:35.591
- Immediately take god driving adam and eve out of the
- 00:10:35.658 --> 00:10:36.692
- Adam and eve out of the garden as punishment and
- 00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:38.861
- Garden as punishment and as rejection. but no, it was
- 00:10:38.928 --> 00:10:41.197
- As rejection. but no, it was an act of love. and it says
- 00:10:41.263 --> 00:10:42.398
- In genesis, chapter 3, and in
- 00:10:42.865 --> 00:10:45.034
- In genesis, chapter 3, and in verse 23, it says, therefore the
- 00:10:45.101 --> 00:10:47.236
- Verse 23, it says, therefore the lord god sent him forth from
- 00:10:47.303 --> 00:10:48.804
- Lord god sent him forth from the garden of eden, to till
- 00:10:48.871 --> 00:10:50.039
- The garden of eden, to till the ground. the reason he
- 00:10:50.106 --> 00:10:51.640
- Drove adam and eve out
- 00:10:51.707 --> 00:10:52.708
- Drove adam and eve out of the garden wasn't to
- 00:10:52.775 --> 00:10:53.909
- Of the garden wasn't to reject them or to punish
- 00:10:53.976 --> 00:10:55.311
- Reject them or to punish them. it was to keep them from
- 00:10:55.377 --> 00:10:57.246
- Them. it was to keep them from eating of the tree of life, and
- 00:10:57.313 --> 00:10:58.748
- Eating of the tree of life, and living forever. and some people
- 00:10:58.814 --> 00:11:00.616
- Living forever. and some people may think, well that was a
- 00:11:00.683 --> 00:11:01.650
- May think, well that was a negative thing. no, it was
- 00:11:01.717 --> 00:11:02.885
- Negative thing. no, it was actually a positive thing.
- 00:11:02.952 --> 00:11:04.620
- Actually a positive thing. because once sin and corruption
- 00:11:04.687 --> 00:11:06.722
- Because once sin and corruption entered into this physical
- 00:11:06.789 --> 00:11:08.090
- Entered into this physical world, the entire physical world
- 00:11:08.157 --> 00:11:10.526
- World, the entire physical world has been corrupted. it is...
- 00:11:10.593 --> 00:11:12.394
- Has been corrupted. it is... even though you look at
- 00:11:12.461 --> 00:11:13.896
- Even though you look at nature and you think, this
- 00:11:13.963 --> 00:11:15.264
- Nature and you think, this is beautiful and this is
- 00:11:15.331 --> 00:11:16.732
- Is beautiful and this is awesome, it is not near as
- 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.301
- Awesome, it is not near as awesome as it was before the
- 00:11:19.368 --> 00:11:21.137
- Awesome as it was before the fall. and, all of the sin and
- 00:11:21.203 --> 00:11:23.973
- Fall. and, all of the sin and the hatred and the anger and
- 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:25.541
- The hatred and the anger and the bitterness, the rape, the
- 00:11:25.608 --> 00:11:26.976
- The bitterness, the rape, the murder, the terrible things that
- 00:11:27.042 --> 00:11:28.978
- Murder, the terrible things that are going on, that's not the way
- 00:11:29.044 --> 00:11:30.112
- Are going on, that's not the way that god made it. someday this
- 00:11:30.179 --> 00:11:31.614
- That god made it. someday this world is going to pass away and
- 00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:33.149
- World is going to pass away and he's going to recreate a perfect
- 00:11:33.215 --> 00:11:35.451
- He's going to recreate a perfect world that isn't stained by sin.
- 00:11:35.518 --> 00:11:37.853
- World that isn't stained by sin. and not only things out there,
- 00:11:37.920 --> 00:11:39.455
- And not only things out there, but us. we are susceptible now
- 00:11:39.522 --> 00:11:42.024
- But us. we are susceptible now to sickness, to poverty, to
- 00:11:42.091 --> 00:11:43.793
- To sickness, to poverty, to depression, discouragement,
- 00:11:43.859 --> 00:11:45.561
- Depression, discouragement, pain, all kinds of things. there
- 00:11:45.628 --> 00:11:47.630
- Pain, all kinds of things. there are people that have deformities
- 00:11:47.696 --> 00:11:50.065
- Are people that have deformities and all of this. if adam and eve
- 00:11:50.132 --> 00:11:52.334
- And all of this. if adam and eve had eaten of the tree of life,
- 00:11:52.401 --> 00:11:54.403
- Had eaten of the tree of life, they would've lived forever in a
- 00:11:54.470 --> 00:11:56.939
- They would've lived forever in a body that would've been subject
- 00:11:57.006 --> 00:11:58.674
- Body that would've been subject to, you know, all kinds of
- 00:11:58.741 --> 00:12:01.010
- To, you know, all kinds of deformities, all kinds of pain,
- 00:12:01.076 --> 00:12:03.412
- Deformities, all kinds of pain, all kinds of you know limbs that
- 00:12:03.479 --> 00:12:06.282
- All kinds of you know limbs that have been amputated, and they
- 00:12:06.348 --> 00:12:08.083
- Have been amputated, and they would have just limped through
- 00:12:08.150 --> 00:12:09.552
- Would have just limped through eternity in this physical body.
- 00:12:09.618 --> 00:12:12.822
- Eternity in this physical body. god provided something better.
- 00:12:12.888 --> 00:12:15.257
- God provided something better. and so when he drove adam and
- 00:12:15.324 --> 00:12:16.659
- And so when he drove adam and eve, it says, therefore. this is
- 00:12:16.725 --> 00:12:18.227
- Eve, it says, therefore. this is the reason he drove them out, is
- 00:12:18.294 --> 00:12:20.062
- The reason he drove them out, is because he loved us so much, he
- 00:12:20.129 --> 00:12:22.331
- Because he loved us so much, he had already provided a new body
- 00:12:22.398 --> 00:12:25.601
- Had already provided a new body for us, a glorified body, a new
- 00:12:25.668 --> 00:12:28.103
- For us, a glorified body, a new heaven and earth, and for anyone
- 00:12:28.170 --> 00:12:30.506
- Heaven and earth, and for anyone who will accept the salvation
- 00:12:30.573 --> 00:12:33.108
- Who will accept the salvation that is offered through making
- 00:12:33.175 --> 00:12:35.044
- That is offered through making jesus your lord, there is
- 00:12:35.110 --> 00:12:37.012
- Jesus your lord, there is something much better than this
- 00:12:37.079 --> 00:12:38.714
- Something much better than this earth and this body and this
- 00:12:38.781 --> 00:12:41.183
- Earth and this body and this life. and god drove them out so
- 00:12:41.250 --> 00:12:43.485
- Life. and god drove them out so that they wouldn't eat of that
- 00:12:43.552 --> 00:12:44.887
- That they wouldn't eat of that tree of life and be trapped in
- 00:12:44.954 --> 00:12:47.223
- Tree of life and be trapped in this physical body forever. boy
- 00:12:47.289 --> 00:12:50.759
- This physical body forever. boy that is a brand new way of
- 00:12:50.826 --> 00:12:52.261
- That is a brand new way of looking at things for most
- 00:12:52.328 --> 00:12:53.495
- Looking at things for most people. but that's exactly what
- 00:12:53.562 --> 00:12:55.197
- People. but that's exactly what happened, and you can see that,
- 00:12:55.264 --> 00:12:56.332
- Happened, and you can see that, because in the 4th chapter of
- 00:12:56.398 --> 00:12:59.301
- Because in the 4th chapter of the book of genesis, right after
- 00:12:59.368 --> 00:13:00.736
- The book of genesis, right after he drove adam and eve out of the
- 00:13:00.803 --> 00:13:02.338
- He drove adam and eve out of the garden, it talks about adam and
- 00:13:02.404 --> 00:13:03.806
- Garden, it talks about adam and eve had children. the first
- 00:13:03.873 --> 00:13:05.574
- Eve had children. the first two children they had were
- 00:13:05.641 --> 00:13:07.076
- Two children they had were cain and abel. and it says
- 00:13:07.142 --> 00:13:09.645
- In verse 3, it says, in
- 00:13:09.712 --> 00:13:11.747
- In verse 3, it says, in process of time it came to
- 00:13:11.814 --> 00:13:13.315
- Process of time it came to pass, that cain brought of
- 00:13:13.382 --> 00:13:14.884
- Pass, that cain brought of the fruit of the ground an
- 00:13:14.950 --> 00:13:16.619
- The fruit of the ground an offering unto the lord. and
- 00:13:16.685 --> 00:13:17.786
- Offering unto the lord. and abel, he also brought of the
- 00:13:17.853 --> 00:13:19.755
- Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of the flock
- 00:13:19.822 --> 00:13:21.457
- Firstlings of the flock and of the fact thereof. and the
- 00:13:21.523 --> 00:13:23.225
- And of the fact thereof. and the lord had respect unto abel and
- 00:13:23.292 --> 00:13:25.427
- Lord had respect unto abel and to his offering: but unto cain
- 00:13:25.494 --> 00:13:27.029
- To his offering: but unto cain and to his offering he had not
- 00:13:27.096 --> 00:13:29.098
- And to his offering he had not respect. and cain was very
- 00:13:29.164 --> 00:13:31.300
- Respect. and cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
- 00:13:31.367 --> 00:13:33.903
- Without me going into a lot of
- 00:13:33.969 --> 00:13:35.170
- Without me going into a lot of detail, you would have to just
- 00:13:35.237 --> 00:13:36.405
- Detail, you would have to just think about this for a few
- 00:13:36.472 --> 00:13:37.573
- Think about this for a few moments, but how did he
- 00:13:37.640 --> 00:13:38.674
- Moments, but how did he show acceptance for abel and
- 00:13:38.741 --> 00:13:41.577
- Show acceptance for abel and rejection for cain? it doesn't
- 00:13:41.644 --> 00:13:44.079
- Rejection for cain? it doesn't say exactly, but right after
- 00:13:44.146 --> 00:13:46.048
- Say exactly, but right after this, cain rose up and killed
- 00:13:46.115 --> 00:13:48.550
- This, cain rose up and killed abel, his brother, and god was
- 00:13:48.617 --> 00:13:50.419
- Abel, his brother, and god was speaking to him in an audible
- 00:13:50.486 --> 00:13:52.021
- Speaking to him in an audible voice. so, at... if he was
- 00:13:52.087 --> 00:13:54.089
- Voice. so, at... if he was speaking to cain in an audible
- 00:13:54.156 --> 00:13:55.658
- Speaking to cain in an audible voice after he killed abel, it's
- 00:13:55.724 --> 00:13:57.493
- Voice after he killed abel, it's probable that he was talking
- 00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:59.561
- Probable that he was talking to cain and abel about these
- 00:13:59.628 --> 00:14:01.563
- To cain and abel about these sacrifices. how did they know
- 00:14:01.630 --> 00:14:03.265
- Sacrifices. how did they know you were supposed to bring your
- 00:14:03.332 --> 00:14:04.300
- You were supposed to bring your firstfruits offering, like cain
- 00:14:04.366 --> 00:14:06.468
- Firstfruits offering, like cain did? how did they know that you
- 00:14:06.535 --> 00:14:08.137
- Did? how did they know that you were supposed to have an animal
- 00:14:08.203 --> 00:14:09.838
- Were supposed to have an animal sacrifice? this isn't stuff that
- 00:14:09.905 --> 00:14:12.441
- Sacrifice? this isn't stuff that god was just high... hardwired
- 00:14:12.508 --> 00:14:14.510
- God was just high... hardwired into them. apparently he was
- 00:14:14.576 --> 00:14:16.545
- Into them. apparently he was still walking and talking with
- 00:14:16.612 --> 00:14:18.914
- Still walking and talking with cain and abel, the descendants
- 00:14:18.981 --> 00:14:21.517
- Cain and abel, the descendants of adam and eve. he was still
- 00:14:21.583 --> 00:14:23.652
- Of adam and eve. he was still fellowshipping with them. there
- 00:14:23.719 --> 00:14:25.454
- Fellowshipping with them. there were consequences to what they
- 00:14:25.521 --> 00:14:26.922
- Were consequences to what they did, and god drove them out of
- 00:14:26.989 --> 00:14:28.324
- Did, and god drove them out of the garden because he didn't
- 00:14:28.390 --> 00:14:29.358
- The garden because he didn't want them living forever in that
- 00:14:29.425 --> 00:14:30.960
- Want them living forever in that sinful state, but he was still
- 00:14:31.026 --> 00:14:33.862
- Sinful state, but he was still blessing them, he was still
- 00:14:33.929 --> 00:14:35.130
- Blessing them, he was still fellowshipping with them.
- 00:14:35.197 --> 00:14:36.598
- Fellowshipping with them. he was still walking and
- 00:14:36.665 --> 00:14:37.800
- He was still walking and talking with them. now again,
- 00:14:37.866 --> 00:14:40.569
- Talking with them. now again, see this showed... this shows
- 00:14:40.636 --> 00:14:42.004
- See this showed... this shows a different nature of god than
- 00:14:42.071 --> 00:14:44.807
- A different nature of god than what religion has presented.
- 00:14:44.873 --> 00:14:46.542
- What religion has presented. basically religion has
- 00:14:46.608 --> 00:14:48.110
- Basically religion has presented that the moment
- 00:14:48.177 --> 00:14:49.278
- Presented that the moment adam and eve sinned, they fell
- 00:14:49.345 --> 00:14:51.447
- Adam and eve sinned, they fell from this place of holiness, and
- 00:14:51.513 --> 00:14:53.382
- From this place of holiness, and here was holy god, and he could
- 00:14:53.449 --> 00:14:55.617
- Here was holy god, and he could have nothing to do with unholy
- 00:14:55.684 --> 00:14:57.152
- Have nothing to do with unholy man, and he rejected them,
- 00:14:57.219 --> 00:14:58.721
- Man, and he rejected them, kicked them out of his presence,
- 00:14:58.787 --> 00:15:00.289
- Kicked them out of his presence, and wouldn't have anything to do
- 00:15:00.356 --> 00:15:01.657
- And wouldn't have anything to do with them. the scriptures show
- 00:15:01.724 --> 00:15:04.593
- With them. the scriptures show that that's wrong. he was still
- 00:15:04.660 --> 00:15:05.995
- That that's wrong. he was still walking and talking with adam
- 00:15:06.061 --> 00:15:07.329
- Walking and talking with adam and eve. he was still talking to
- 00:15:07.396 --> 00:15:08.731
- And eve. he was still talking to their children, cain and abel.
- 00:15:08.797 --> 00:15:11.166
- Their children, cain and abel. and when cain wound up killing
- 00:15:11.233 --> 00:15:13.335
- And when cain wound up killing abel, god spoke to him. and
- 00:15:13.402 --> 00:15:15.637
- Abel, god spoke to him. and contrast this. the very first
- 00:15:15.704 --> 00:15:18.240
- Contrast this. the very first murderer on the face of the
- 00:15:18.307 --> 00:15:19.675
- Murderer on the face of the earth was cain. he killed his
- 00:15:19.742 --> 00:15:21.176
- Earth was cain. he killed his brother. the very first time
- 00:15:21.243 --> 00:15:24.246
- Brother. the very first time that a person murdered somebody,
- 00:15:24.313 --> 00:15:26.248
- That a person murdered somebody, how did god respond? he
- 00:15:26.315 --> 00:15:28.584
- How did god respond? he certainly didn't like it. he
- 00:15:28.650 --> 00:15:30.185
- Certainly didn't like it. he told him it was wrong. and cain,
- 00:15:30.252 --> 00:15:32.755
- Told him it was wrong. and cain, he became fearful. he says,
- 00:15:32.821 --> 00:15:34.490
- He became fearful. he says, everybody who hears about what
- 00:15:34.556 --> 00:15:36.458
- Everybody who hears about what i've done, they're going to seek
- 00:15:36.525 --> 00:15:37.926
- I've done, they're going to seek to kill me. and so, how did god
- 00:15:37.993 --> 00:15:40.062
- To kill me. and so, how did god respond? he put a mark on cain.
- 00:15:40.129 --> 00:15:43.198
- Respond? he put a mark on cain. the scripture doesn't say what
- 00:15:43.265 --> 00:15:44.500
- The scripture doesn't say what it was, but there was some kind
- 00:15:44.566 --> 00:15:46.568
- It was, but there was some kind of a visible mark that god put
- 00:15:46.635 --> 00:15:49.571
- Of a visible mark that god put on cain, and he said, if anybody
- 00:15:49.638 --> 00:15:52.441
- On cain, and he said, if anybody kills cain, i'll avenge his
- 00:15:52.508 --> 00:15:55.210
- Kills cain, i'll avenge his death sevenfold. now that wasn't
- 00:15:55.277 --> 00:15:58.447
- Death sevenfold. now that wasn't god saying that murder was okay.
- 00:15:58.514 --> 00:16:01.617
- God saying that murder was okay. it wasn't him approving of what
- 00:16:01.683 --> 00:16:03.252
- It wasn't him approving of what cain did, but he protected the
- 00:16:03.318 --> 00:16:05.687
- Cain did, but he protected the first murderer on the face of
- 00:16:05.754 --> 00:16:08.023
- First murderer on the face of the earth. now contrast this
- 00:16:08.090 --> 00:16:10.359
- The earth. now contrast this with once the law came.
- 00:16:10.426 --> 00:16:12.294
- With once the law came. if you'll go back and
- 00:16:12.361 --> 00:16:13.262
- If you'll go back and remember, i was reading
- 00:16:13.328 --> 00:16:14.263
- Out of romans, chapter 5,
- 00:16:14.329 --> 00:16:15.764
- Out of romans, chapter 5, and it says, until the law
- 00:16:15.831 --> 00:16:17.466
- And it says, until the law sin was in the world: but
- 00:16:17.533 --> 00:16:19.034
- Sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when
- 00:16:19.101 --> 00:16:21.236
- Sin is not imputed when there is no law. it's not held
- 00:16:21.303 --> 00:16:22.838
- Against, it's not recorded, it's
- 00:16:22.905 --> 00:16:24.373
- Against, it's not recorded, it's not... people weren't punished
- 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:26.575
- Not... people weren't punished until the law came. before
- 00:16:26.642 --> 00:16:29.344
- Until the law came. before the law, when cain killed his
- 00:16:29.411 --> 00:16:31.480
- The law, when cain killed his brother abel, god protected him.
- 00:16:31.547 --> 00:16:33.615
- Brother abel, god protected him. he didn't approve of it, but he
- 00:16:33.682 --> 00:16:35.284
- He didn't approve of it, but he protected the first murderer and
- 00:16:35.350 --> 00:16:37.786
- Protected the first murderer and extended mercy and protection
- 00:16:37.853 --> 00:16:39.788
- Extended mercy and protection towards him. in contrast to
- 00:16:39.855 --> 00:16:41.790
- Towards him. in contrast to that, the very first person
- 00:16:41.857 --> 00:16:43.859
- That, the very first person who violated the law of
- 00:16:43.926 --> 00:16:46.028
- Who violated the law of god in the... i think it was
- 00:16:46.095 --> 00:16:49.531
- God in the... i think it was the 16th chapter of exodus,
- 00:16:49.598 --> 00:16:52.901
- The 16th chapter of exodus, again, i'd have to look
- 00:16:52.968 --> 00:16:53.869
- Again, i'd have to look these things up, but our
- 00:16:53.936 --> 00:16:55.270
- These things up, but our crew will put the exact
- 00:16:55.337 --> 00:16:56.405
- Crew will put the exact reference up there. the very
- 00:16:56.472 --> 00:16:58.073
- Reference up there. the very first law that was given was
- 00:16:58.140 --> 00:16:59.842
- First law that was given was that on the day that... of the
- 00:16:59.908 --> 00:17:02.311
- That on the day that... of the sabbath day, manna would not
- 00:17:02.377 --> 00:17:04.746
- Sabbath day, manna would not fall on the sabbath day, and
- 00:17:04.813 --> 00:17:07.182
- Fall on the sabbath day, and that you couldn't go out and do
- 00:17:07.249 --> 00:17:09.017
- That you couldn't go out and do any work and things like that.
- 00:17:09.084 --> 00:17:10.719
- Any work and things like that. you had to make preparations
- 00:17:10.786 --> 00:17:12.054
- You had to make preparations on the sixth day, and on the
- 00:17:12.121 --> 00:17:13.655
- On the sixth day, and on the seventh day you had to totally
- 00:17:13.722 --> 00:17:15.357
- Seventh day you had to totally take a day off. the very first
- 00:17:15.424 --> 00:17:17.493
- Take a day off. the very first person who broke that law, he
- 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:19.761
- Person who broke that law, he went out and picked up sticks
- 00:17:19.828 --> 00:17:22.064
- Went out and picked up sticks so he could make a fire on the
- 00:17:22.131 --> 00:17:23.966
- So he could make a fire on the sabbath day. and so he had
- 00:17:24.032 --> 00:17:25.667
- Sabbath day. and so he had broken the law of god. and moses
- 00:17:25.734 --> 00:17:27.803
- Broken the law of god. and moses knew that he had broken the law,
- 00:17:27.870 --> 00:17:29.238
- Knew that he had broken the law, but he didn't know what the
- 00:17:29.304 --> 00:17:30.205
- But he didn't know what the punishment should be, so they
- 00:17:30.272 --> 00:17:32.474
- Punishment should be, so they shut him up until moses was able
- 00:17:32.541 --> 00:17:35.144
- Shut him up until moses was able to talk to god, and god spoke to
- 00:17:35.210 --> 00:17:37.079
- To talk to god, and god spoke to moses in an audible voice and
- 00:17:37.146 --> 00:17:38.747
- Moses in an audible voice and said, show him no mercy, stone
- 00:17:38.814 --> 00:17:40.549
- Said, show him no mercy, stone him to death. and they brought
- 00:17:40.616 --> 00:17:42.251
- Him to death. and they brought him out to the edge of the camp,
- 00:17:42.317 --> 00:17:44.219
- Him out to the edge of the camp, and the people stoned a man to
- 00:17:44.286 --> 00:17:46.455
- And the people stoned a man to death for picking up sticks so
- 00:17:46.522 --> 00:17:48.857
- Death for picking up sticks so he could make a fire on the
- 00:17:48.924 --> 00:17:50.292
- He could make a fire on the sabbath day. now if you compare
- 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:52.327
- Sabbath day. now if you compare that to cain killing his brother
- 00:17:52.394 --> 00:17:54.796
- That to cain killing his brother abel, man, i guarantee you
- 00:17:54.863 --> 00:17:58.367
- Abel, man, i guarantee you one is... they ont... don't even
- 00:17:58.433 --> 00:18:00.435
- One is... they ont... don't even compare. and yet the judgment
- 00:18:00.502 --> 00:18:04.540
- Compare. and yet the judgment that was on the man who picked
- 00:18:04.606 --> 00:18:05.841
- That was on the man who picked up sticks to make a fire was so
- 00:18:05.908 --> 00:18:08.110
- Up sticks to make a fire was so much worse than what happened
- 00:18:08.177 --> 00:18:10.012
- Much worse than what happened to cain. god actually protected
- 00:18:10.078 --> 00:18:11.713
- To cain. god actually protected the very first murderer, but the
- 00:18:11.780 --> 00:18:14.816
- The very first murderer, but the very first person to break the
- 00:18:14.883 --> 00:18:16.084
- Very first person to break the law, he gave him no mercy
- 00:18:16.151 --> 00:18:17.986
- Law, he gave him no mercy whatsoever, kill him, stone
- 00:18:18.053 --> 00:18:19.388
- Whatsoever, kill him, stone him to death. can you see the
- 00:18:19.454 --> 00:18:21.290
- Him to death. can you see the difference that the law made?
- 00:18:21.356 --> 00:18:23.058
- Prior to the law, it's just like
- 00:18:25.260 --> 00:18:26.795
- Prior to the law, it's just like it says, there was sin, people
- 00:18:26.862 --> 00:18:28.664
- It says, there was sin, people were doing the wrong things,
- 00:18:28.730 --> 00:18:29.831
- Were doing the wrong things, but god wasn't bringing the
- 00:18:29.898 --> 00:18:31.733
- But god wasn't bringing the punishment upon them until the
- 00:18:31.800 --> 00:18:34.269
- Punishment upon them until the law came. when the law came, all
- 00:18:34.336 --> 00:18:36.872
- Law came. when the law came, all of a sudden god's wrath began
- 00:18:36.939 --> 00:18:39.107
- Of a sudden god's wrath began to be poured out. and here's
- 00:18:39.174 --> 00:18:40.776
- To be poured out. and here's another point for you to
- 00:18:40.842 --> 00:18:42.044
- Another point for you to recognize. if this would've just
- 00:18:42.110 --> 00:18:44.646
- Recognize. if this would've just been the nature of god to start
- 00:18:44.713 --> 00:18:46.782
- Been the nature of god to start punishing sin and showing such
- 00:18:46.848 --> 00:18:48.784
- Punishing sin and showing such harshness and punishment upon
- 00:18:48.850 --> 00:18:51.153
- Harshness and punishment upon people when they sinned, why did
- 00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:53.121
- People when they sinned, why did he wait 2000 years until the law
- 00:18:53.188 --> 00:18:55.591
- He wait 2000 years until the law came? why didn't he start right
- 00:18:55.657 --> 00:18:57.726
- Came? why didn't he start right off with adam and eve and cain
- 00:18:57.793 --> 00:19:00.529
- Off with adam and eve and cain and abel? but no, we see that
- 00:19:00.596 --> 00:19:02.965
- And abel? but no, we see that adam and eve, the reason he
- 00:19:03.031 --> 00:19:04.066
- Adam and eve, the reason he drove them out of the garden was
- 00:19:04.132 --> 00:19:05.534
- Drove them out of the garden was so that they wouldn't eat of the
- 00:19:05.601 --> 00:19:06.802
- So that they wouldn't eat of the tree of life and live forever.
- 00:19:06.868 --> 00:19:08.203
- Tree of life and live forever. that was actually mercy and
- 00:19:08.270 --> 00:19:09.605
- That was actually mercy and judgment. and he protected the
- 00:19:09.671 --> 00:19:11.940
- Judgment. and he protected the very first murderer on the face
- 00:19:12.007 --> 00:19:14.009
- Very first murderer on the face of the earth. if it was just
- 00:19:14.076 --> 00:19:15.677
- Of the earth. if it was just god's nature to vent his wrath
- 00:19:15.744 --> 00:19:18.113
- God's nature to vent his wrath and to punish people who
- 00:19:18.180 --> 00:19:19.715
- And to punish people who violated it, well then why did
- 00:19:19.781 --> 00:19:22.217
- Violated it, well then why did he wait 2000 years to start
- 00:19:22.284 --> 00:19:25.220
- He wait 2000 years to start doing that? why didn't he do it
- 00:19:25.287 --> 00:19:27.022
- Doing that? why didn't he do it just from the get-go? because
- 00:19:27.089 --> 00:19:29.725
- Just from the get-go? because that's not his nature. he
- 00:19:29.791 --> 00:19:32.027
- That's not his nature. he actually extended mercy towards
- 00:19:32.094 --> 00:19:34.062
- Actually extended mercy towards us. he didn't want us to know
- 00:19:34.129 --> 00:19:36.198
- Us. he didn't want us to know how bad everything was. did you
- 00:19:36.265 --> 00:19:38.400
- How bad everything was. did you know if the lord wanted to, he
- 00:19:38.467 --> 00:19:39.801
- Know if the lord wanted to, he could've told adam and eve. the
- 00:19:39.868 --> 00:19:42.104
- Could've told adam and eve. the only thing that they understood
- 00:19:42.170 --> 00:19:44.373
- Only thing that they understood in genesis, chapter 3, it says
- 00:19:44.439 --> 00:19:46.775
- In genesis, chapter 3, it says that they realized that they
- 00:19:46.842 --> 00:19:47.843
- That they realized that they were naked and they went and
- 00:19:47.909 --> 00:19:49.044
- Were naked and they went and made fig leaves to cover their
- 00:19:49.111 --> 00:19:50.879
- Made fig leaves to cover their nakedness. that's the extent of
- 00:19:50.946 --> 00:19:53.348
- Nakedness. that's the extent of knowing how bad their sin was at
- 00:19:53.415 --> 00:19:55.917
- Knowing how bad their sin was at that moment. you know the
- 00:19:55.984 --> 00:19:57.886
- That moment. you know the lord could've sat them
- 00:19:57.953 --> 00:19:59.054
- Lord could've sat them down and he could've
- 00:19:59.121 --> 00:20:00.255
- Down and he could've shown them all of the...
- 00:20:00.322 --> 00:20:02.324
- Shown them all of the... i mean, the ungodliness that
- 00:20:02.391 --> 00:20:04.893
- I mean, the ungodliness that would happen in the world for
- 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.496
- Would happen in the world for all of the thousands of years to
- 00:20:07.562 --> 00:20:09.631
- All of the thousands of years to come. he could've shown them
- 00:20:09.698 --> 00:20:11.066
- Come. he could've shown them what pharaoh was going to do to
- 00:20:11.133 --> 00:20:12.768
- What pharaoh was going to do to some of their descendants. he
- 00:20:12.834 --> 00:20:13.935
- Some of their descendants. he could've shown all of these
- 00:20:14.002 --> 00:20:15.637
- Could've shown all of these things. he could've shown
- 00:20:15.704 --> 00:20:16.605
- Things. he could've shown hitler killing and burning
- 00:20:16.672 --> 00:20:18.940
- Hitler killing and burning bodies. he could have
- 00:20:19.007 --> 00:20:19.775
- Bodies. he could have shown stalin killing over
- 00:20:19.841 --> 00:20:22.110
- Shown stalin killing over 60 million russians and on...
- 00:20:22.177 --> 00:20:24.613
- 60 million russians and on... he could've shown them so much
- 00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:27.115
- He could've shown them so much what their sin had done. but i
- 00:20:27.182 --> 00:20:28.884
- What their sin had done. but i believe it would've overwhelmed
- 00:20:28.950 --> 00:20:30.185
- Believe it would've overwhelmed them. it would've been
- 00:20:30.252 --> 00:20:31.320
- Them. it would've been impossible for adam and eve to
- 00:20:31.386 --> 00:20:33.288
- Impossible for adam and eve to have lived with themself. they
- 00:20:33.355 --> 00:20:34.523
- Have lived with themself. they could not have survived knowing
- 00:20:34.589 --> 00:20:36.558
- Could not have survived knowing the full extent of what they had
- 00:20:36.625 --> 00:20:37.826
- The full extent of what they had done. so god didn't reveal all
- 00:20:37.893 --> 00:20:39.628
- Done. so god didn't reveal all of those things to them. it was
- 00:20:39.695 --> 00:20:41.863
- Of those things to them. it was 2000 years later before god
- 00:20:41.930 --> 00:20:44.399
- 2000 years later before god began to start revealing exactly
- 00:20:44.466 --> 00:20:47.169
- Began to start revealing exactly how deadly sin was. and it was
- 00:20:47.235 --> 00:20:49.538
- How deadly sin was. and it was because he loved us, and he was
- 00:20:49.604 --> 00:20:51.340
- Because he loved us, and he was willing to extend mercy towards
- 00:20:51.406 --> 00:20:53.141
- Willing to extend mercy towards us. but did you know that people
- 00:20:53.208 --> 00:20:54.643
- Us. but did you know that people began to take god's lack of
- 00:20:54.710 --> 00:20:56.645
- Began to take god's lack of punishment upon sin as approval
- 00:20:56.712 --> 00:21:00.282
- Punishment upon sin as approval of sin. and right here in the
- 00:21:00.349 --> 00:21:02.050
- Of sin. and right here in the 4th chapter of genesis, you can
- 00:21:02.117 --> 00:21:04.486
- 4th chapter of genesis, you can find lamech, who was cain's
- 00:21:04.553 --> 00:21:07.022
- Find lamech, who was cain's great, great, great grandson,
- 00:21:07.089 --> 00:21:09.658
- Great, great, great grandson, and lamech killed a man. and in
- 00:21:09.725 --> 00:21:11.893
- And lamech killed a man. and in the king james, it's awkward
- 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:13.328
- The king james, it's awkward the way it's said, but what
- 00:21:13.395 --> 00:21:15.063
- The way it's said, but what it means is that he killed
- 00:21:15.130 --> 00:21:16.498
- It means is that he killed a man in self-defense.
- 00:21:16.565 --> 00:21:18.600
- A man in self-defense. and so because his
- 00:21:18.667 --> 00:21:20.001
- And so because his was in self-defense,
- 00:21:20.068 --> 00:21:22.037
- He said, if... if cain shall be
- 00:21:22.104 --> 00:21:24.339
- He said, if... if cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly
- 00:21:24.406 --> 00:21:26.475
- Avenged sevenfold, truly lamech seventy and sevenfold.
- 00:21:26.541 --> 00:21:29.144
- Did you know god didn't
- 00:21:29.211 --> 00:21:30.712
- Did you know god didn't say that? lamech said
- 00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:32.581
- Say that? lamech said that. lamech looked at
- 00:21:32.647 --> 00:21:34.349
- That. lamech looked at cain, and basically cain
- 00:21:34.416 --> 00:21:36.017
- Cain, and basically cain got by with murder,
- 00:21:36.084 --> 00:21:37.753
- Got by with murder, and so... and his was a...
- 00:21:37.819 --> 00:21:40.222
- And so... and his was a... a murder of just passion and
- 00:21:40.288 --> 00:21:41.957
- A murder of just passion and rage. there was no justification
- 00:21:42.023 --> 00:21:43.992
- Rage. there was no justification for it. lamech killed a man in
- 00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:46.027
- For it. lamech killed a man in self-defense, and so relative to
- 00:21:46.094 --> 00:21:48.263
- Self-defense, and so relative to cain, he thought his was much
- 00:21:48.330 --> 00:21:49.865
- Cain, he thought his was much more excusable. and he said, if
- 00:21:49.931 --> 00:21:51.800
- More excusable. and he said, if cain can get by with murder, and
- 00:21:51.867 --> 00:21:54.503
- Cain can get by with murder, and he will be avenged sevenfold,
- 00:21:54.569 --> 00:21:56.171
- He will be avenged sevenfold, well then lamech will be avenged
- 00:21:56.238 --> 00:21:58.173
- Well then lamech will be avenged seventy and sevenfold. and
- 00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:00.275
- Seventy and sevenfold. and see this is the problem that
- 00:22:00.342 --> 00:22:01.676
- See this is the problem that happened. when god didn't
- 00:22:01.743 --> 00:22:03.078
- Happened. when god didn't immediately punish sin and judge
- 00:22:03.145 --> 00:22:05.914
- Immediately punish sin and judge sin, people took god's lack of
- 00:22:05.981 --> 00:22:08.517
- Sin, people took god's lack of punishment and judgment as
- 00:22:08.583 --> 00:22:10.685
- Punishment and judgment as approval of sin. and just like
- 00:22:10.752 --> 00:22:12.487
- Approval of sin. and just like lamech, they began to start
- 00:22:12.554 --> 00:22:13.688
- Lamech, they began to start saying, well cain got by with
- 00:22:13.755 --> 00:22:14.956
- Saying, well cain got by with murder, i'll get by with murder.
- 00:22:15.023 --> 00:22:16.792
- Murder, i'll get by with murder. people began to compare
- 00:22:16.858 --> 00:22:18.059
- People began to compare themselves, and they began to
- 00:22:18.126 --> 00:22:19.628
- Themselves, and they began to start losing their hatred of
- 00:22:19.694 --> 00:22:22.063
- Start losing their hatred of sin, their knowledge of sin, and
- 00:22:22.130 --> 00:22:24.132
- Sin, their knowledge of sin, and they began to compare themself
- 00:22:24.199 --> 00:22:25.634
- They began to compare themself and thinking, well, here's adam
- 00:22:25.700 --> 00:22:27.335
- And thinking, well, here's adam and eve and they lived to be 930
- 00:22:27.402 --> 00:22:29.371
- And eve and they lived to be 930 years old, and yet they rebelled
- 00:22:29.438 --> 00:22:30.939
- Years old, and yet they rebelled at god, and they're getting by
- 00:22:31.006 --> 00:22:32.374
- At god, and they're getting by with it, and they just began to
- 00:22:32.441 --> 00:22:34.376
- With it, and they just began to lose their understanding of how
- 00:22:34.443 --> 00:22:37.512
- Lose their understanding of how deadly sin was. not because god
- 00:22:37.579 --> 00:22:41.116
- Deadly sin was. not because god didn't hate sin, but because he
- 00:22:41.183 --> 00:22:42.984
- Didn't hate sin, but because he was willing to extend mercy
- 00:22:43.051 --> 00:22:44.553
- Was willing to extend mercy towards them. that's the true
- 00:22:44.619 --> 00:22:45.754
- Towards them. that's the true heart and nature and character
- 00:22:45.821 --> 00:22:47.722
- Heart and nature and character of god. so he extended mercy,
- 00:22:47.789 --> 00:22:49.357
- Of god. so he extended mercy, but people were taking his lack
- 00:22:49.424 --> 00:22:51.293
- But people were taking his lack of judgment as approval, and so
- 00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:54.095
- Of judgment as approval, and so eventually god brought judgment
- 00:22:54.162 --> 00:22:57.966
- Eventually god brought judgment in a way that nobody could
- 00:22:58.033 --> 00:22:59.634
- In a way that nobody could misunderstand so that people
- 00:22:59.701 --> 00:23:01.636
- Misunderstand so that people could begin to understand that
- 00:23:01.703 --> 00:23:03.104
- Could begin to understand that this is unacceptable living. and
- 00:23:03.171 --> 00:23:05.674
- This is unacceptable living. and that's the reason that the law
- 00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:07.209
- That's the reason that the law was given to show us the
- 00:23:07.275 --> 00:23:08.944
- Was given to show us the deadliness of sin, to make sin
- 00:23:09.010 --> 00:23:11.480
- Deadliness of sin, to make sin come alive on the inside of us
- 00:23:11.546 --> 00:23:13.782
- Come alive on the inside of us so that we would see how
- 00:23:13.849 --> 00:23:15.083
- So that we would see how terrible it was, and we would
- 00:23:15.150 --> 00:23:16.351
- Terrible it was, and we would turn from it and throw
- 00:23:16.418 --> 00:23:17.886
- Turn from it and throw ourself on god for mercy.

- While instilling the boldness he
- 00:26:15.063 --> 00:26:16.631
- Needed to step out and see

- Source of all authority, but
- 00:26:32.881 --> 00:26:34.149
