  • 00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:25.014
  • A brand-new series entitled,
  • 00:00:25.014 --> 00:00:27.117
  • The word became flesh.
  • 00:00:27.117 --> 00:00:29.085

  • 00:00:29.085 --> 00:00:30.687
  • Out on this, and let me
  • 00:00:30.687 --> 00:00:32.188
  • Just introduce this by saying,
  • 00:00:32.188 --> 00:00:33.923
  • That this is my wife's
  • 00:00:33.923 --> 00:00:35.125
  • Favorite teaching of mine.
  • 00:00:35.125 --> 00:00:37.727
  • You know,
  • 00:00:37.727 --> 00:00:38.294
  • She's always supportive,
  • 00:00:38.294 --> 00:00:39.195
  • But she actually
  • 00:00:39.195 --> 00:00:40.296
  • Complimented me.
  • 00:00:40.296 --> 00:00:41.164
  • There's five teachings in here
  • 00:00:41.164 --> 00:00:43.199
  • In this series,
  • 00:00:43.199 --> 00:00:44.100
  • And she liked every one of them,
  • 00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:45.535
  • And that's...
  • 00:00:45.535 --> 00:00:46.102
  • That may be a first.
  • 00:00:46.102 --> 00:00:47.570
  • So anyway, hopefully,
  • 00:00:47.637 --> 00:00:48.638
  • So anyway, hopefully, this will be a blessing to you.
  • 00:00:48.705 --> 00:00:50.573
  • This will be a blessing to you. and we're nearing
  • 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:51.374
  • And we're nearing the christmas season,
  • 00:00:51.441 --> 00:00:53.276
  • The christmas season, and so, i'm going to
  • 00:00:53.343 --> 00:00:54.644
  • And so, i'm going to be talking a lot about
  • 00:00:54.711 --> 00:00:55.812
  • Be talking a lot about the virgin birth of jesus.
  • 00:00:55.879 --> 00:00:58.248
  • The virgin birth of jesus. but, you know, jesus said this
  • 00:00:58.314 --> 00:00:59.582
  • But, you know, jesus said this in matthew...mark, chapter 7,
  • 00:00:59.649 --> 00:01:02.051
  • In matthew...mark, chapter 7, verse 13, he says,
  • 00:01:02.118 --> 00:01:03.686
  • Verse 13, he says, your traditions
  • 00:01:03.753 --> 00:01:05.088
  • Your traditions and doctrines of men
  • 00:01:05.155 --> 00:01:06.222
  • And doctrines of men make the word of god
  • 00:01:06.289 --> 00:01:07.090
  • Make the word of god of none effect.
  • 00:01:07.157 --> 00:01:08.858
  • Of none effect. and we have so many traditions
  • 00:01:08.925 --> 00:01:12.061
  • And we have so many traditions around christmas that i believe
  • 00:01:12.128 --> 00:01:14.397
  • Around christmas that i believe have compromised
  • 00:01:14.464 --> 00:01:15.565
  • Have compromised us really understanding
  • 00:01:15.632 --> 00:01:17.534
  • Us really understanding some of the greatest truths
  • 00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:18.935
  • Some of the greatest truths that there are in the bible
  • 00:01:19.002 --> 00:01:20.336
  • That there are in the bible surround the virgin birth,
  • 00:01:20.403 --> 00:01:22.906
  • Surround the virgin birth, and so i'm going to take
  • 00:01:22.972 --> 00:01:23.873
  • And so i'm going to take a little while to get into it.
  • 00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:25.208
  • A little while to get into it. i'm going to be talking about
  • 00:01:25.275 --> 00:01:26.276
  • I'm going to be talking about some other things.
  • 00:01:26.342 --> 00:01:26.910
  • Some other things. actually, some of the things
  • 00:01:26.976 --> 00:01:27.911
  • Actually, some of the things i'll be talking about
  • 00:01:27.977 --> 00:01:29.479
  • I'll be talking about could go into a number of
  • 00:01:29.546 --> 00:01:30.647
  • Could go into a number of different series i've got.
  • 00:01:30.713 --> 00:01:31.347
  • I've got one series entitled
  • 00:01:31.948 --> 00:01:33.449
  • Killing sacred cows,
  • 00:01:33.449 --> 00:01:35.552
  • And a teaching that i've got
  • 00:01:35.552 --> 00:01:37.487
  • On the sovereignty of god
  • 00:01:37.487 --> 00:01:38.788
  • Would be included in that.
  • 00:01:38.788 --> 00:01:40.190
  • I've got another series on
  • 00:01:40.190 --> 00:01:42.125
  • The authority of the believer,
  • 00:01:42.125 --> 00:01:43.493
  • And i'm going to be
  • 00:01:43.493 --> 00:01:44.227
  • Focusing on that a lot,
  • 00:01:44.227 --> 00:01:45.762
  • And then a teaching on
  • 00:01:45.762 --> 00:01:47.664
  • The importance of
  • 00:01:47.664 --> 00:01:48.731
  • The word of god,
  • 00:01:48.731 --> 00:01:49.699
  • A sure foundation.
  • 00:01:49.699 --> 00:01:50.600
  • So i'm going to be taking
  • 00:01:50.667 --> 00:01:52.068
  • So i'm going to be taking bits and pieces from a number of
  • 00:01:52.135 --> 00:01:53.636
  • Bits and pieces from a number of different things that i teach
  • 00:01:53.703 --> 00:01:55.939
  • Different things that i teach and directing all of them
  • 00:01:56.005 --> 00:01:58.775
  • And directing all of them towards understanding
  • 00:01:58.841 --> 00:02:01.010
  • Towards understanding the virgin birth,
  • 00:02:01.077 --> 00:02:02.779
  • The virgin birth, and most people honestly
  • 00:02:02.845 --> 00:02:04.147
  • And most people honestly have not given a lot of
  • 00:02:04.214 --> 00:02:05.048
  • Have not given a lot of thought to this.
  • 00:02:05.114 --> 00:02:05.715
  • Thought to this. and like i was saying earlier,
  • 00:02:05.782 --> 00:02:06.916
  • And like i was saying earlier, some of it's
  • 00:02:06.983 --> 00:02:07.483
  • Some of it's because our christmas traditions
  • 00:02:07.550 --> 00:02:10.920
  • Because our christmas traditions have overwhelmed
  • 00:02:10.987 --> 00:02:12.355
  • Have overwhelmed the real message of jesus coming
  • 00:02:12.422 --> 00:02:13.990
  • The real message of jesus coming to this earth,
  • 00:02:14.057 --> 00:02:14.691
  • To this earth, but i tell you,
  • 00:02:14.757 --> 00:02:15.225
  • But i tell you, jesus becoming a man
  • 00:02:15.291 --> 00:02:17.961
  • Jesus becoming a man is probably the greatest
  • 00:02:18.027 --> 00:02:19.862
  • Is probably the greatest miracle of all.
  • 00:02:19.929 --> 00:02:21.531
  • Miracle of all. and i don't know
  • 00:02:21.598 --> 00:02:21.931
  • And i don't know if other people think this way,
  • 00:02:21.998 --> 00:02:23.032
  • If other people think this way, i'm beginning to think
  • 00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:24.167
  • I'm beginning to think that i may be a little weird,
  • 00:02:24.234 --> 00:02:26.169
  • That i may be a little weird, but ever since
  • 00:02:26.236 --> 00:02:27.136
  • But ever since i was a little kid,
  • 00:02:27.203 --> 00:02:28.638
  • I was a little kid, i always wondered why
  • 00:02:28.705 --> 00:02:30.106
  • I always wondered why the lord waited 4,000 years
  • 00:02:30.173 --> 00:02:33.176
  • The lord waited 4,000 years after the sin of adam and eve
  • 00:02:33.243 --> 00:02:35.044
  • After the sin of adam and eve to come to the earth
  • 00:02:35.111 --> 00:02:35.979
  • To come to the earth and redeem mankind.
  • 00:02:36.045 --> 00:02:38.147
  • The bible says in
  • 00:02:38.214 --> 00:02:38.615
  • The bible says in hebrews, chapter 8,
  • 00:02:38.681 --> 00:02:40.016
  • Hebrews, chapter 8, that what we have
  • 00:02:40.083 --> 00:02:40.950
  • That what we have is a better covenant,
  • 00:02:41.017 --> 00:02:41.985
  • Is a better covenant, that's established upon
  • 00:02:42.051 --> 00:02:42.919
  • That's established upon better promises.
  • 00:02:42.986 --> 00:02:44.554
  • Better promises. so, if what we've got now
  • 00:02:44.621 --> 00:02:46.155
  • So, if what we've got now is better, why did it take
  • 00:02:46.222 --> 00:02:47.357
  • 4,000 years for
  • 00:02:47.423 --> 00:02:49.626
  • 4,000 years for the lord to show up?
  • 00:02:49.692 --> 00:02:51.427
  • The lord to show up? i mean, the people under
  • 00:02:51.494 --> 00:02:52.228
  • I mean, the people under the old covenant
  • 00:02:52.295 --> 00:02:53.062
  • The old covenant didn't have near the benefits
  • 00:02:53.129 --> 00:02:54.664
  • Didn't have near the benefits that we have today.
  • 00:02:54.731 --> 00:02:56.366
  • That we have today. another thing i wondered about,
  • 00:02:56.432 --> 00:02:57.767
  • Another thing i wondered about, if god is god, why did he choose
  • 00:02:57.834 --> 00:02:59.936
  • If god is god, why did he choose to become a man
  • 00:03:00.003 --> 00:03:01.137
  • To become a man and have to live on this earth
  • 00:03:01.204 --> 00:03:03.506
  • And have to live on this earth and suffer crucifixion?
  • 00:03:03.573 --> 00:03:05.208
  • And suffer crucifixion? i mean, if he's god,
  • 00:03:05.275 --> 00:03:06.576
  • I mean, if he's god, couldn't god do anything
  • 00:03:06.643 --> 00:03:07.877
  • Couldn't god do anything that he wanted to do?
  • 00:03:07.944 --> 00:03:09.779
  • That he wanted to do? and so, i remember
  • 00:03:09.846 --> 00:03:10.413
  • And so, i remember as a little kid
  • 00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:11.347
  • As a little kid asking people these questions
  • 00:03:11.414 --> 00:03:12.915
  • Asking people these questions and nobody in my church
  • 00:03:12.982 --> 00:03:13.983
  • And nobody in my church could answer those questions.
  • 00:03:14.050 --> 00:03:15.752
  • Could answer those questions. i'm going to be answering
  • 00:03:15.818 --> 00:03:16.619
  • I'm going to be answering some of those things,
  • 00:03:16.686 --> 00:03:17.520
  • Some of those things, and once you begin to understand
  • 00:03:17.587 --> 00:03:19.355
  • And once you begin to understand all of the things that led up to
  • 00:03:19.422 --> 00:03:22.292
  • All of the things that led up to jesus becoming a man
  • 00:03:22.358 --> 00:03:24.027
  • Jesus becoming a man and coming to this earth
  • 00:03:24.093 --> 00:03:25.762
  • And coming to this earth to redeem us it will make you
  • 00:03:25.828 --> 00:03:27.797
  • To redeem us it will make you appreciate so much more
  • 00:03:27.864 --> 00:03:29.332
  • Appreciate so much more what jesus has done for us
  • 00:03:29.399 --> 00:03:31.834
  • What jesus has done for us because it was no small thing.
  • 00:03:31.901 --> 00:03:33.903
  • Because it was no small thing. let me just start with
  • 00:03:33.970 --> 00:03:34.537
  • Let me just start with this verse out of
  • 00:03:34.604 --> 00:03:35.238
  • This verse out of galatians, chapter 4, verse 4,
  • 00:03:35.305 --> 00:03:37.006
  • Galatians, chapter 4, verse 4, and i'm breaking right into
  • 00:03:37.073 --> 00:03:38.007
  • And i'm breaking right into the middle of what he's saying,
  • 00:03:38.074 --> 00:03:39.842
  • But he says in verse 4,
  • 00:03:39.909 --> 00:03:41.210
  • But he says in verse 4, but when the fulness of
  • 00:03:41.277 --> 00:03:42.879
  • But when the fulness of time was come,
  • 00:03:42.945 --> 00:03:44.547
  • Time was come, god sent forth his son,
  • 00:03:44.614 --> 00:03:46.549
  • God sent forth his son, made of a woman,
  • 00:03:46.616 --> 00:03:47.917
  • Made of a woman, made under the law.
  • 00:03:47.984 --> 00:03:49.619
  • Made under the law. this says that when
  • 00:03:49.686 --> 00:03:50.386
  • This says that when the fulness of time,
  • 00:03:50.453 --> 00:03:51.988
  • The fulness of time, if you look this up in the greek
  • 00:03:52.055 --> 00:03:53.356
  • If you look this up in the greek and study it out,
  • 00:03:53.423 --> 00:03:54.190
  • And study it out, it's talking about that there
  • 00:03:54.257 --> 00:03:55.291
  • It's talking about that there was an appointed time.
  • 00:03:55.358 --> 00:03:58.061
  • There were certain things
  • 00:03:58.127 --> 00:03:59.228
  • There were certain things that had to take place
  • 00:03:59.295 --> 00:04:01.364
  • That had to take place before jesus could come to
  • 00:04:01.431 --> 00:04:02.865
  • Before jesus could come to this earth and redeem us
  • 00:04:02.932 --> 00:04:05.001
  • This earth and redeem us from our sins and provide
  • 00:04:05.068 --> 00:04:06.703
  • From our sins and provide the salvation that's available
  • 00:04:06.769 --> 00:04:08.271
  • The salvation that's available to us today.
  • 00:04:08.338 --> 00:04:09.572
  • To us today. and again,
  • 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:10.139
  • And again, this goes against a lot of
  • 00:04:10.206 --> 00:04:11.407
  • This goes against a lot of religious teachings,
  • 00:04:11.474 --> 00:04:12.942
  • Religious teachings, a lot of redi...
  • 00:04:13.009 --> 00:04:14.477
  • A lot of redi... religious traditions.
  • 00:04:14.544 --> 00:04:16.679
  • Religious traditions. you know,
  • 00:04:16.746 --> 00:04:17.113
  • You know, people just say things like,
  • 00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:18.281
  • People just say things like, well, god is sovereign.
  • 00:04:18.348 --> 00:04:19.682
  • Well, god is sovereign. god can do anything he wants to,
  • 00:04:19.749 --> 00:04:22.018
  • God can do anything he wants to, and they take that kind of
  • 00:04:22.085 --> 00:04:23.653
  • And they take that kind of an attitude and then
  • 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:24.987
  • An attitude and then they apply it towards
  • 00:04:25.054 --> 00:04:26.289
  • They apply it towards every single thing that happens,
  • 00:04:26.356 --> 00:04:27.857
  • Every single thing that happens, and they become fatalistic,
  • 00:04:27.924 --> 00:04:29.759
  • And they become fatalistic, believing that whatever happens,
  • 00:04:29.826 --> 00:04:31.461
  • Believing that whatever happens, it must be god's will,
  • 00:04:31.527 --> 00:04:33.396
  • It must be god's will, and so they blame god.
  • 00:04:33.463 --> 00:04:34.497
  • And so they blame god. we even write it
  • 00:04:34.564 --> 00:04:35.365
  • We even write it in our contracts and say
  • 00:04:35.431 --> 00:04:36.799
  • In our contracts and say that you're insured
  • 00:04:36.866 --> 00:04:37.567
  • That you're insured barring an act of god,
  • 00:04:37.633 --> 00:04:39.402
  • Barring an act of god, and they blame god
  • 00:04:39.469 --> 00:04:40.370
  • And they blame god for tornadoes and hurricanes
  • 00:04:40.436 --> 00:04:42.271
  • For tornadoes and hurricanes and all kinds of things
  • 00:04:42.338 --> 00:04:43.673
  • And all kinds of things that god has nothing to do with.
  • 00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:45.641
  • That god has nothing to do with. but people just have this
  • 00:04:45.708 --> 00:04:46.843
  • But people just have this mindset that god is god,
  • 00:04:46.909 --> 00:04:48.611
  • Mindset that god is god, he can do anything he wants to.
  • 00:04:48.678 --> 00:04:50.680
  • He can do anything he wants to. let me use another
  • 00:04:50.747 --> 00:04:51.280
  • Let me use another passage of scripture in
  • 00:04:51.347 --> 00:04:52.348
  • Passage of scripture in ephesians, chapter 3, verse 20,
  • 00:04:52.415 --> 00:04:54.851
  • Ephesians, chapter 3, verse 20, and this is a prayer
  • 00:04:54.917 --> 00:04:55.818
  • And this is a prayer that the apostle paul
  • 00:04:55.885 --> 00:04:57.387
  • That the apostle paul was praying for the people,
  • 00:04:57.453 --> 00:04:58.521
  • Was praying for the people, and he had prayed
  • 00:04:58.588 --> 00:04:59.155
  • And he had prayed that they could understand
  • 00:04:59.222 --> 00:05:00.056
  • That they could understand the height, the depth,
  • 00:05:00.123 --> 00:05:01.090
  • The height, the depth, the length and the breadth of
  • 00:05:01.157 --> 00:05:02.859
  • The length and the breadth of the love of god.
  • 00:05:02.925 --> 00:05:04.160
  • And then he says,
  • 00:05:04.227 --> 00:05:05.561
  • And then he says, that you might know
  • 00:05:05.628 --> 00:05:07.764
  • That you might know the love of god,
  • 00:05:07.830 --> 00:05:09.332
  • The love of god, which passeth knowledge,
  • 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.768
  • Which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled
  • 00:05:11.834 --> 00:05:12.802
  • That ye might be filled with all the fulness of god.
  • 00:05:12.869 --> 00:05:13.903
  • With all the fulness of god. how can you know something
  • 00:05:13.970 --> 00:05:14.871
  • How can you know something if it passes knowledge?
  • 00:05:14.937 --> 00:05:16.873
  • If it passes knowledge? what he's talking about
  • 00:05:16.939 --> 00:05:17.740
  • Is that you would experience god
  • 00:05:17.807 --> 00:05:20.376
  • Is that you would experience god instead of just
  • 00:05:20.443 --> 00:05:20.943
  • Instead of just an intellectual knowledge
  • 00:05:21.010 --> 00:05:22.111
  • An intellectual knowledge about god.
  • 00:05:22.178 --> 00:05:23.246
  • And then the next verse,
  • 00:05:23.312 --> 00:05:24.347
  • And then the next verse, verse 20 says,
  • 00:05:24.414 --> 00:05:25.982
  • Verse 20 says, that he is able to do
  • 00:05:26.048 --> 00:05:27.583
  • That he is able to do exceeding abundantly above
  • 00:05:27.650 --> 00:05:29.218
  • Exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think,
  • 00:05:29.285 --> 00:05:31.454
  • All we ask or think, according to the power
  • 00:05:31.521 --> 00:05:33.689
  • According to the power that works in us.
  • 00:05:33.756 --> 00:05:34.924
  • You will have people often just
  • 00:05:34.991 --> 00:05:36.559
  • You will have people often just stop and leave the last part of
  • 00:05:36.626 --> 00:05:38.027
  • Stop and leave the last part of that verse off,
  • 00:05:38.094 --> 00:05:38.961
  • That verse off, and you'll hear people say,
  • 00:05:39.028 --> 00:05:39.862
  • And you'll hear people say, god is sovereign,
  • 00:05:39.929 --> 00:05:40.830
  • God is sovereign, god can do anything,
  • 00:05:40.897 --> 00:05:42.899
  • God can do anything, god can do anything that you...
  • 00:05:42.965 --> 00:05:44.867
  • God can do anything that you... above anything you ask or think.
  • 00:05:44.934 --> 00:05:47.069
  • Above anything you ask or think. that's actually
  • 00:05:47.136 --> 00:05:47.737
  • That's actually an untrue statement.
  • 00:05:47.804 --> 00:05:49.605
  • It says he's able to do
  • 00:05:49.672 --> 00:05:50.873
  • It says he's able to do exceeding abundantly above
  • 00:05:50.940 --> 00:05:52.341
  • Exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think,
  • 00:05:52.408 --> 00:05:53.709
  • All we ask or think, according to the power
  • 00:05:53.776 --> 00:05:56.379
  • According to the power that works in us.
  • 00:05:56.446 --> 00:05:57.113
  • That works in us. the word, according to,
  • 00:05:57.180 --> 00:05:58.147
  • The word, according to, if you look it up
  • 00:05:58.214 --> 00:05:58.614
  • If you look it up in the dictionary,
  • 00:05:58.681 --> 00:05:59.282
  • In the dictionary, it means, to the degree of
  • 00:05:59.348 --> 00:06:01.217
  • It means, to the degree of or in proportion to,
  • 00:06:01.284 --> 00:06:03.419
  • Or in proportion to, the power that works in us.
  • 00:06:03.486 --> 00:06:06.456
  • So i'm going to say
  • 00:06:06.522 --> 00:06:07.824
  • So i'm going to say something right here
  • 00:06:07.890 --> 00:06:08.724
  • Something right here that may shock some people,
  • 00:06:08.791 --> 00:06:09.559
  • That may shock some people, but if you'll stick with me,
  • 00:06:09.625 --> 00:06:11.027
  • But if you'll stick with me, i'll explain this and i...
  • 00:06:11.093 --> 00:06:12.261
  • I'll explain this and i... it'll wind up benefiting you
  • 00:06:12.328 --> 00:06:14.397
  • It'll wind up benefiting you and helping you,
  • 00:06:14.464 --> 00:06:15.865
  • And helping you, but god is limited
  • 00:06:15.932 --> 00:06:18.034
  • But god is limited in what he can do.
  • 00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:19.202
  • In what he can do. he's not limited in the sense
  • 00:06:19.268 --> 00:06:20.870
  • He's not limited in the sense that somebody else limited him,
  • 00:06:20.937 --> 00:06:23.473
  • That somebody else limited him, but he's limited himself.
  • 00:06:23.539 --> 00:06:25.842
  • But he's limited himself. god almighty has said,
  • 00:06:25.908 --> 00:06:28.978
  • Psalms, chapter 89, verse 34,
  • 00:06:29.045 --> 00:06:31.047
  • Psalms, chapter 89, verse 34, my covenant will i not break,
  • 00:06:31.113 --> 00:06:32.982
  • My covenant will i not break, nor alter the thing that is
  • 00:06:33.049 --> 00:06:34.817
  • Nor alter the thing that is gone forth out of my lips.
  • 00:06:34.884 --> 00:06:36.919
  • Gone forth out of my lips. that's saying
  • 00:06:36.986 --> 00:06:37.420
  • That's saying that when god says something,
  • 00:06:37.487 --> 00:06:39.288
  • That when god says something, it's a covenant,
  • 00:06:39.355 --> 00:06:40.256
  • It's a covenant, it's binding, it's a contract.
  • 00:06:40.323 --> 00:06:42.124
  • It's binding, it's a contract. hebrews, chapter 6, says
  • 00:06:42.191 --> 00:06:43.759
  • Hebrews, chapter 6, says that it's impossible
  • 00:06:43.826 --> 00:06:45.528
  • That it's impossible for god to lie.
  • 00:06:45.595 --> 00:06:46.696
  • For god to lie. 2 corinthians, chapter 1 says,
  • 00:06:46.762 --> 00:06:48.764
  • 2 corinthians, chapter 1 says, that all of the promises
  • 00:06:48.831 --> 00:06:50.366
  • That all of the promises of god are, yes, and amen.
  • 00:06:50.433 --> 00:06:52.969
  • The integrity of god
  • 00:06:53.035 --> 00:06:55.404
  • The integrity of god causes him to never
  • 00:06:55.471 --> 00:06:58.207
  • Causes him to never violate his word.
  • 00:06:58.274 --> 00:07:00.643
  • Violate his word. you know, another scripture
  • 00:07:00.710 --> 00:07:01.511
  • You know, another scripture that just really has ministered
  • 00:07:01.577 --> 00:07:02.812
  • That just really has ministered to me, and i could go into
  • 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:04.080
  • To me, and i could go into a lot of explanation.
  • 00:07:04.146 --> 00:07:05.181
  • A lot of explanation. i'm not going to take time
  • 00:07:05.248 --> 00:07:06.115
  • I'm not going to take time on today's program,
  • 00:07:06.182 --> 00:07:07.650
  • But hebrews, chapter 1, verse 3
  • 00:07:07.717 --> 00:07:10.019
  • But hebrews, chapter 1, verse 3 says that jesus is
  • 00:07:10.086 --> 00:07:11.387
  • Says that jesus is the brightness of his glory,
  • 00:07:11.454 --> 00:07:13.623
  • The brightness of his glory, and the express image of
  • 00:07:13.689 --> 00:07:15.791
  • And the express image of god's person,
  • 00:07:15.858 --> 00:07:17.527
  • God's person, and the express image there
  • 00:07:17.593 --> 00:07:18.628
  • And the express image there is talking about,
  • 00:07:18.694 --> 00:07:19.395
  • Is talking about, he is a perfect representation.
  • 00:07:19.462 --> 00:07:21.397
  • It wasn't
  • 00:07:21.464 --> 00:07:22.164
  • It wasn't a vague representation.
  • 00:07:22.231 --> 00:07:23.466
  • A vague representation. he didn't model god for us
  • 00:07:23.533 --> 00:07:25.167
  • He didn't model god for us in some ways.
  • 00:07:25.234 --> 00:07:26.636
  • In some ways. he was god manifest
  • 00:07:26.702 --> 00:07:28.037
  • He was god manifest in the flesh.
  • 00:07:28.104 --> 00:07:29.372
  • And it says that he was
  • 00:07:29.438 --> 00:07:30.473
  • And it says that he was the express image of god,
  • 00:07:30.540 --> 00:07:31.741
  • The express image of god, and then it goes on to say,
  • 00:07:31.807 --> 00:07:32.875
  • And then it goes on to say, that he upholds all things
  • 00:07:32.942 --> 00:07:36.045
  • That he upholds all things by the word of his power.
  • 00:07:36.112 --> 00:07:38.881
  • By the word of his power. now that is
  • 00:07:38.948 --> 00:07:39.782
  • Really significant.
  • 00:07:39.849 --> 00:07:40.716
  • Really significant. again, if you were to
  • 00:07:40.783 --> 00:07:41.384
  • Again, if you were to study this out
  • 00:07:41.450 --> 00:07:42.351
  • Study this out and if i took time to go into
  • 00:07:42.418 --> 00:07:44.353
  • And if i took time to go into all of these words in the greek,
  • 00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:46.589
  • All of these words in the greek, it literally is saying
  • 00:07:46.656 --> 00:07:47.857
  • It literally is saying that the entire creation
  • 00:07:47.924 --> 00:07:50.493
  • That the entire creation is held together
  • 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.128
  • Is held together by the integrity of god's word.
  • 00:07:52.194 --> 00:07:54.297
  • By the integrity of god's word. god spoke the world
  • 00:07:54.363 --> 00:07:55.665
  • God spoke the world into existence.
  • 00:07:55.731 --> 00:07:56.899
  • Into existence. genesis, chapter 1,
  • 00:07:56.966 --> 00:07:58.501
  • Genesis, chapter 1, he said, let there be light.
  • 00:07:58.568 --> 00:07:59.869
  • He said, let there be light. he said,
  • 00:07:59.936 --> 00:08:00.102
  • He said, let the dry land appear.
  • 00:08:00.169 --> 00:08:01.404
  • Let the dry land appear. he said,
  • 00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:01.871
  • He said, let the earth bring forth.
  • 00:08:01.938 --> 00:08:03.439
  • Let the earth bring forth. let...all of these things.
  • 00:08:03.506 --> 00:08:04.807
  • Let...all of these things. he spoke everything
  • 00:08:04.874 --> 00:08:06.609
  • He spoke everything into existence.
  • 00:08:06.676 --> 00:08:08.044
  • Into existence. everything was created
  • 00:08:08.110 --> 00:08:09.445
  • Everything was created by words.
  • 00:08:09.512 --> 00:08:10.913
  • By words. so, words are the parent force,
  • 00:08:10.980 --> 00:08:13.349
  • So, words are the parent force, and e...everything
  • 00:08:13.416 --> 00:08:15.284
  • And e...everything in creation responds
  • 00:08:15.351 --> 00:08:17.053
  • In creation responds to god's word.
  • 00:08:17.119 --> 00:08:18.387
  • To god's word. and, you know,
  • 00:08:18.454 --> 00:08:18.821
  • And, you know, i heard oral roberts one time,
  • 00:08:18.888 --> 00:08:21.157
  • I heard oral roberts one time, i don't have the ability
  • 00:08:21.223 --> 00:08:22.959
  • I don't have the ability to say this emphatically,
  • 00:08:23.025 --> 00:08:24.760
  • To say this emphatically, but i heard him say,
  • 00:08:24.827 --> 00:08:25.661
  • But i heard him say, that in all of the atoms
  • 00:08:25.728 --> 00:08:27.830
  • That in all of the atoms there is enough nuclear power
  • 00:08:27.897 --> 00:08:29.832
  • There is enough nuclear power that you could take
  • 00:08:29.899 --> 00:08:30.566
  • That you could take a slice of white bread,
  • 00:08:30.633 --> 00:08:32.602
  • A slice of white bread, just a common slice of
  • 00:08:32.668 --> 00:08:34.370
  • Just a common slice of white bread,
  • 00:08:34.437 --> 00:08:35.237
  • White bread, and if you could
  • 00:08:35.304 --> 00:08:35.805
  • And if you could somehow or another
  • 00:08:35.871 --> 00:08:36.606
  • Somehow or another split those atoms,
  • 00:08:36.672 --> 00:08:38.174
  • Split those atoms, and release the energy
  • 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:39.609
  • And release the energy in the nucleus of those atoms,
  • 00:08:39.675 --> 00:08:41.344
  • In the nucleus of those atoms, there's enough power
  • 00:08:41.410 --> 00:08:42.211
  • There's enough power in one slice of bread
  • 00:08:42.278 --> 00:08:43.546
  • In one slice of bread to pow...power an ocean liner
  • 00:08:43.613 --> 00:08:45.281
  • To pow...power an ocean liner across the ocean and back,
  • 00:08:45.348 --> 00:08:47.350
  • Across the ocean and back, but man has only been able to
  • 00:08:47.416 --> 00:08:48.751
  • But man has only been able to split unstable atoms,
  • 00:08:48.818 --> 00:08:50.319
  • Split unstable atoms, like uranium, plutonium,
  • 00:08:50.386 --> 00:08:52.421
  • Like uranium, plutonium, and things like that.
  • 00:08:52.488 --> 00:08:53.923
  • And things like that. but in every atom,
  • 00:08:53.990 --> 00:08:55.691
  • But in every atom, you have the nucleus,
  • 00:08:55.758 --> 00:08:56.659
  • You have the nucleus, and they are likely...
  • 00:08:56.726 --> 00:08:58.327
  • And they are likely... like charged particles.
  • 00:08:58.394 --> 00:09:00.096
  • Like charged particles. according to everything we know,
  • 00:09:00.162 --> 00:09:01.931
  • According to everything we know, you put two ends of
  • 00:09:01.998 --> 00:09:03.165
  • You put two ends of a magnet together,
  • 00:09:03.232 --> 00:09:03.833
  • A magnet together, two positive ends,
  • 00:09:03.899 --> 00:09:05.001
  • Two positive ends, they'll repel each other,
  • 00:09:05.067 --> 00:09:05.901
  • They'll repel each other, two negative ends,
  • 00:09:05.968 --> 00:09:06.802
  • Two negative ends, they will repel each other.
  • 00:09:06.869 --> 00:09:08.404
  • They will repel each other. but in the nucleus of an atom,
  • 00:09:08.471 --> 00:09:09.939
  • But in the nucleus of an atom, you've got these
  • 00:09:10.006 --> 00:09:10.506
  • You've got these like charged par...particles.
  • 00:09:10.573 --> 00:09:12.642
  • Like charged par...particles. according to all of
  • 00:09:12.708 --> 00:09:13.409
  • According to all of the laws we understand
  • 00:09:13.476 --> 00:09:14.777
  • The laws we understand the nucleus should be
  • 00:09:14.844 --> 00:09:16.679
  • The nucleus should be exploding in...
  • 00:09:16.746 --> 00:09:18.180
  • Exploding in... and falling apart,
  • 00:09:18.247 --> 00:09:19.815
  • And falling apart, and yet they're held together
  • 00:09:19.882 --> 00:09:21.217
  • And yet they're held together so tightly that there's
  • 00:09:21.283 --> 00:09:22.518
  • So tightly that there's only a few unstable elements
  • 00:09:22.585 --> 00:09:24.620
  • Only a few unstable elements that we can split.
  • 00:09:24.687 --> 00:09:26.288
  • That we can split. why is that?
  • 00:09:26.355 --> 00:09:27.123
  • Why is that? according to hebrews 1:3,
  • 00:09:27.189 --> 00:09:28.891
  • According to hebrews 1:3, it's the word of god
  • 00:09:28.958 --> 00:09:31.093
  • It's the word of god that holds everything together.
  • 00:09:31.160 --> 00:09:33.262
  • That holds everything together. so i can say it this way,
  • 00:09:33.329 --> 00:09:34.397
  • So i can say it this way, the integrity of god's word,
  • 00:09:34.463 --> 00:09:37.433
  • The integrity of god's word, what he has said
  • 00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:38.367
  • What he has said out of his mouth,
  • 00:09:38.434 --> 00:09:39.535
  • Out of his mouth, is what holds all of
  • 00:09:39.602 --> 00:09:40.970
  • Is what holds all of creation together.
  • 00:09:41.037 --> 00:09:42.171
  • Creation together. if god was to ever lie,
  • 00:09:42.238 --> 00:09:44.373
  • If god was to ever lie, if he was to ever
  • 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:45.141
  • If he was to ever break a promise,
  • 00:09:45.207 --> 00:09:47.410
  • Break a promise, then the universe, you and i,
  • 00:09:47.476 --> 00:09:49.645
  • Then the universe, you and i, everything would self-destruct.
  • 00:09:49.712 --> 00:09:51.714
  • Everything would self-destruct. he holds all things together
  • 00:09:51.781 --> 00:09:54.016
  • He holds all things together by the power of his word.
  • 00:09:54.083 --> 00:09:55.451
  • By the power of his word. so the reason i bring that out
  • 00:09:55.518 --> 00:09:56.619
  • So the reason i bring that out is to say that people
  • 00:09:56.686 --> 00:09:58.187
  • Is to say that people that believe that god just
  • 00:09:58.254 --> 00:09:59.622
  • That believe that god just sovereignly controls things,
  • 00:09:59.689 --> 00:10:01.323
  • Sovereignly controls things, and god can do
  • 00:10:01.390 --> 00:10:02.024
  • And god can do whatever he wants to,
  • 00:10:02.091 --> 00:10:03.759
  • Whatever he wants to, they aren't taking into account
  • 00:10:03.826 --> 00:10:04.994
  • They aren't taking into account that when god said something,
  • 00:10:05.061 --> 00:10:07.263
  • That when god said something, and he said, for instance,
  • 00:10:07.329 --> 00:10:08.864
  • You could take
  • 00:10:08.931 --> 00:10:09.398
  • You could take james, chapter 4, verse 7,
  • 00:10:09.465 --> 00:10:10.866
  • James, chapter 4, verse 7, where it says,
  • 00:10:10.933 --> 00:10:11.400
  • Where it says, submit yourselves
  • 00:10:11.467 --> 00:10:12.268
  • Submit yourselves therefore unto god.
  • 00:10:12.334 --> 00:10:13.836
  • Therefore unto god. resist the devil,
  • 00:10:13.903 --> 00:10:15.404
  • Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
  • 00:10:15.471 --> 00:10:17.073
  • And he will flee from you. right there he limits himself
  • 00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:19.575
  • Right there he limits himself by saying that because he says,
  • 00:10:19.642 --> 00:10:20.910
  • By saying that because he says, you resist the devil,
  • 00:10:20.976 --> 00:10:23.312
  • You resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
  • 00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:25.014
  • If you aren't resisting
  • 00:10:25.081 --> 00:10:27.149
  • If you aren't resisting the devil, if you are
  • 00:10:27.216 --> 00:10:28.350
  • The devil, if you are yielding to the devil,
  • 00:10:28.417 --> 00:10:29.018
  • Yielding to the devil, if you're embracing satan's ways
  • 00:10:29.085 --> 00:10:31.387
  • If you're embracing satan's ways and his values and stuff,
  • 00:10:31.454 --> 00:10:33.389
  • And his values and stuff, you limit god's ability
  • 00:10:33.456 --> 00:10:35.991
  • You limit god's ability to intervene because he said,
  • 00:10:36.058 --> 00:10:37.460
  • To intervene because he said, you resist the devil.
  • 00:10:37.526 --> 00:10:38.794
  • You resist the devil. if he just did it for you,
  • 00:10:38.861 --> 00:10:40.663
  • If he just did it for you, he would be violating
  • 00:10:40.730 --> 00:10:41.597
  • He would be violating his own word.
  • 00:10:41.664 --> 00:10:43.099
  • His own word. the entire universe,
  • 00:10:43.165 --> 00:10:44.433
  • The entire universe, creation, would fall apart.
  • 00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:46.869
  • Creation, would fall apart. you know, it's amazing
  • 00:10:46.936 --> 00:10:47.636
  • You know, it's amazing that even a lot of christians
  • 00:10:47.703 --> 00:10:49.538
  • That even a lot of christians don't have this concept.
  • 00:10:49.605 --> 00:10:51.173
  • Don't have this concept. and again, they have
  • 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:51.907
  • And again, they have just embraced this thing
  • 00:10:51.974 --> 00:10:53.809
  • Just embraced this thing that god is sovereign,
  • 00:10:53.876 --> 00:10:55.177
  • That god is sovereign, god can do anything
  • 00:10:55.244 --> 00:10:56.312
  • God can do anything he wants to.
  • 00:10:56.378 --> 00:10:57.313
  • He wants to. that is not true.
  • 00:10:57.379 --> 00:10:59.014
  • It says in, i believe it's
  • 00:10:59.081 --> 00:11:00.316
  • It says in, i believe it's psalms, chapter 15, verse 4,
  • 00:11:00.382 --> 00:11:03.052
  • Psalms, chapter 15, verse 4, it says a godly man
  • 00:11:03.119 --> 00:11:04.687
  • It says a godly man will swear to his own hurt
  • 00:11:04.754 --> 00:11:06.789
  • Will swear to his own hurt and change not.
  • 00:11:06.856 --> 00:11:07.556
  • And change not. the word, godly, means,
  • 00:11:07.623 --> 00:11:08.824
  • A person like god.
  • 00:11:08.891 --> 00:11:10.025
  • A person like god. so god swears to his own hurt
  • 00:11:10.092 --> 00:11:13.262
  • So god swears to his own hurt and changes not.
  • 00:11:13.329 --> 00:11:15.131
  • And changes not. people would sit there
  • 00:11:15.197 --> 00:11:16.031
  • People would sit there and they'll...
  • 00:11:16.098 --> 00:11:16.565
  • And they'll... they'll promise you something,
  • 00:11:16.632 --> 00:11:17.700
  • They'll promise you something, and if it turns out
  • 00:11:17.767 --> 00:11:18.734
  • And if it turns out that what they've promised
  • 00:11:18.801 --> 00:11:20.002
  • That what they've promised is going to be inconvenient
  • 00:11:20.069 --> 00:11:21.337
  • Is going to be inconvenient for them, or hurt them,
  • 00:11:21.403 --> 00:11:22.438
  • For them, or hurt them, or cause them any grief,
  • 00:11:22.505 --> 00:11:24.140
  • Or cause them any grief, they'll just sit there and say,
  • 00:11:24.206 --> 00:11:25.107
  • They'll just sit there and say, well, i...i'll change my mind.
  • 00:11:25.174 --> 00:11:26.976
  • Well, i...i'll change my mind. or king's x, and they change,
  • 00:11:27.042 --> 00:11:28.811
  • Or king's x, and they change, but god's not like that.
  • 00:11:28.878 --> 00:11:30.846
  • But god's not like that. now, see if you understand
  • 00:11:30.913 --> 00:11:31.847
  • Now, see if you understand the things i'm saying,
  • 00:11:31.914 --> 00:11:32.615
  • The things i'm saying, you may not relate this
  • 00:11:32.681 --> 00:11:33.849
  • You may not relate this to the virgin birth of jesus,
  • 00:11:33.916 --> 00:11:36.152
  • To the virgin birth of jesus, but all of these things
  • 00:11:36.218 --> 00:11:37.253
  • But all of these things factor into it.
  • 00:11:37.319 --> 00:11:38.754
  • Factor into it. because in the fullness of times
  • 00:11:38.821 --> 00:11:42.691
  • Because in the fullness of times jesus came.
  • 00:11:42.758 --> 00:11:43.926
  • Jesus came. if you were to study that out,
  • 00:11:43.993 --> 00:11:45.094
  • If you were to study that out, that means,
  • 00:11:45.161 --> 00:11:46.262
  • That means, at the first opportune moment
  • 00:11:46.328 --> 00:11:49.565
  • At the first opportune moment jesus actually came
  • 00:11:49.632 --> 00:11:51.333
  • Jesus actually came to this earth.
  • 00:11:51.400 --> 00:11:52.535
  • To this earth. the lord had been working
  • 00:11:52.601 --> 00:11:54.003
  • The lord had been working ever since adam and eve
  • 00:11:54.069 --> 00:11:55.805
  • Ever since adam and eve transgressed against him
  • 00:11:55.871 --> 00:11:57.540
  • Transgressed against him to bring his son to this planet
  • 00:11:57.606 --> 00:12:00.576
  • To bring his son to this planet so that he could become a man,
  • 00:12:00.643 --> 00:12:02.711
  • So that he could become a man, bear our sins,
  • 00:12:02.778 --> 00:12:04.113
  • Bear our sins, redeem us from the curse
  • 00:12:04.180 --> 00:12:05.881
  • Redeem us from the curse that was placed upon us
  • 00:12:05.948 --> 00:12:07.550
  • That was placed upon us for sinning, and he had been
  • 00:12:07.616 --> 00:12:09.652
  • For sinning, and he had been working towards that,
  • 00:12:09.718 --> 00:12:11.053
  • Working towards that, but he was limited,
  • 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:12.655
  • But he was limited, because when he created
  • 00:12:12.721 --> 00:12:14.490
  • Because when he created adam and eve,
  • 00:12:14.557 --> 00:12:15.991
  • Adam and eve, he gave them authority
  • 00:12:16.058 --> 00:12:17.993
  • He gave them authority over the earth.
  • 00:12:18.060 --> 00:12:19.128
  • Over the earth. if you were to turn to
  • 00:12:19.195 --> 00:12:19.728
  • Psalms 115, verse 16, it says,
  • 00:12:19.795 --> 00:12:22.565
  • Psalms 115, verse 16, it says, the heaven, even the heavens,
  • 00:12:22.631 --> 00:12:23.866
  • The heaven, even the heavens, are the lord's:
  • 00:12:23.933 --> 00:12:24.667
  • Are the lord's: but the earth hath he given
  • 00:12:24.733 --> 00:12:27.503
  • But the earth hath he given to the sons of men.
  • 00:12:27.570 --> 00:12:29.238
  • To the sons of men. god gave the control,
  • 00:12:29.305 --> 00:12:31.307
  • God gave the control, the authority,
  • 00:12:31.373 --> 00:12:32.308
  • The authority, over this earth to man.
  • 00:12:32.374 --> 00:12:33.576
  • Over this earth to man. you can turn back to
  • 00:12:33.642 --> 00:12:34.543
  • You can turn back to genesis, chapter 1,
  • 00:12:34.610 --> 00:12:36.345
  • And look at this.
  • 00:12:36.412 --> 00:12:37.146
  • And look at this. in genesis 1:26 is where
  • 00:12:37.213 --> 00:12:38.914
  • In genesis 1:26 is where god created adam and eve,
  • 00:12:38.981 --> 00:12:40.482
  • God created adam and eve, and then he turned around
  • 00:12:40.549 --> 00:12:41.383
  • And then he turned around and he says, you have dominion
  • 00:12:41.450 --> 00:12:43.886
  • And he says, you have dominion over the fish of the sea,
  • 00:12:43.953 --> 00:12:45.120
  • Over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air,
  • 00:12:45.187 --> 00:12:46.388
  • Over the fowl of the air, and over everything
  • 00:12:46.455 --> 00:12:47.489
  • And over everything that creeps upon the earth.
  • 00:12:47.556 --> 00:12:50.025
  • That creeps upon the earth. that includes the devil
  • 00:12:50.092 --> 00:12:51.227
  • That includes the devil because he is a creep.
  • 00:12:51.293 --> 00:12:53.462
  • Because he is a creep. amen.
  • 00:12:53.529 --> 00:12:54.396
  • Amen. but god gave us
  • 00:12:54.463 --> 00:12:55.364
  • But god gave us absolute control and authority,
  • 00:12:55.431 --> 00:12:57.566
  • Absolute control and authority, but by giving it to us,
  • 00:12:57.633 --> 00:13:00.035
  • But by giving it to us, he limited his control
  • 00:13:00.102 --> 00:13:02.371
  • He limited his control over this earth.
  • 00:13:02.438 --> 00:13:03.772
  • Over this earth. you know,
  • 00:13:03.839 --> 00:13:04.306
  • You know, i actually had a car one time
  • 00:13:04.373 --> 00:13:05.808
  • I actually had a car one time that was given to me.
  • 00:13:05.875 --> 00:13:07.276
  • That was given to me. it was the nicest car
  • 00:13:07.343 --> 00:13:08.077
  • It was the nicest car we'd ever had at that time,
  • 00:13:08.143 --> 00:13:10.112
  • We'd ever had at that time, but i had a guy working for me
  • 00:13:10.179 --> 00:13:11.547
  • But i had a guy working for me who really needed a car,
  • 00:13:11.614 --> 00:13:13.215
  • Who really needed a car, and i wound up giving him my car
  • 00:13:13.282 --> 00:13:15.751
  • And i wound up giving him my car and it was a very nice car.
  • 00:13:15.818 --> 00:13:17.586
  • And it was a very nice car. i mean, it was...
  • 00:13:17.653 --> 00:13:18.520
  • I mean, it was... it was really nice.
  • 00:13:18.587 --> 00:13:19.188
  • It was really nice. it was the nicest car
  • 00:13:19.255 --> 00:13:20.022
  • It was the nicest car we had ever had,
  • 00:13:20.089 --> 00:13:21.557
  • We had ever had, and i gave it to him,
  • 00:13:21.624 --> 00:13:22.191
  • And i gave it to him, and he was
  • 00:13:22.258 --> 00:13:23.325
  • And he was struggling financially,
  • 00:13:23.392 --> 00:13:25.027
  • Struggling financially, and after a brief
  • 00:13:25.094 --> 00:13:26.195
  • And after a brief period of time,
  • 00:13:26.262 --> 00:13:26.762
  • Period of time, a couple of months,
  • 00:13:26.829 --> 00:13:27.963
  • A couple of months, he came to me and he...
  • 00:13:28.030 --> 00:13:29.331
  • He came to me and he... he was kind of apologetic,
  • 00:13:29.398 --> 00:13:31.133
  • He was kind of apologetic, and he says,
  • 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:32.234
  • And he says, would you mind
  • 00:13:32.301 --> 00:13:32.968
  • Would you mind if we sold this car
  • 00:13:33.035 --> 00:13:35.004
  • If we sold this car and got something that was
  • 00:13:35.070 --> 00:13:36.372
  • And got something that was less than this and use the money
  • 00:13:36.438 --> 00:13:39.842
  • Less than this and use the money to help them?
  • 00:13:39.909 --> 00:13:40.776
  • To help them? and i told him, i said,
  • 00:13:40.843 --> 00:13:41.277
  • And i told him, i said, it's your car.
  • 00:13:41.343 --> 00:13:42.211
  • It's your car. you can do with it
  • 00:13:42.278 --> 00:13:43.145
  • You can do with it whatever you want to,
  • 00:13:43.212 --> 00:13:44.513
  • Whatever you want to, and he says, but yeah,
  • 00:13:44.580 --> 00:13:45.347
  • And he says, but yeah, you gave it to me,
  • 00:13:45.414 --> 00:13:46.348
  • You gave it to me, and i just wanted to make sure
  • 00:13:46.415 --> 00:13:47.816
  • And i just wanted to make sure you were okay with it,
  • 00:13:47.883 --> 00:13:48.684
  • You were okay with it, and i said, look,
  • 00:13:48.751 --> 00:13:49.518
  • And i said, look, it's not my car.
  • 00:13:49.585 --> 00:13:50.686
  • It's not my car. when i gave it to you,
  • 00:13:50.753 --> 00:13:52.221
  • When i gave it to you, i gave it to you.
  • 00:13:52.288 --> 00:13:53.255
  • I gave it to you. i put the title in your name.
  • 00:13:53.322 --> 00:13:55.457
  • I put the title in your name. if you want to park
  • 00:13:55.524 --> 00:13:56.258
  • If you want to park the thing outside and...and,
  • 00:13:56.325 --> 00:13:58.527
  • The thing outside and...and, you know, give people
  • 00:13:58.594 --> 00:13:59.828
  • You know, give people five dollars to use
  • 00:13:59.895 --> 00:14:01.130
  • Five dollars to use a sledgehammer on it
  • 00:14:01.196 --> 00:14:02.398
  • A sledgehammer on it and...and make money that way,
  • 00:14:02.464 --> 00:14:03.532
  • And...and make money that way, you can do anything
  • 00:14:03.599 --> 00:14:04.199
  • You can do anything you want to with it,
  • 00:14:04.266 --> 00:14:05.401
  • You want to with it, it's yours.
  • 00:14:05.467 --> 00:14:07.002
  • It's yours. and see, a lot of people
  • 00:14:07.069 --> 00:14:08.137
  • And see, a lot of people don't understand that god,
  • 00:14:08.203 --> 00:14:09.171
  • Don't understand that god, when he gave control of
  • 00:14:09.238 --> 00:14:11.273
  • When he gave control of this earth to adam and eve,
  • 00:14:11.340 --> 00:14:13.709
  • This earth to adam and eve, he never intended for them
  • 00:14:13.776 --> 00:14:15.210
  • He never intended for them to turn around
  • 00:14:15.277 --> 00:14:16.111
  • To turn around and yield that control
  • 00:14:16.178 --> 00:14:17.780
  • And yield that control over to satan,
  • 00:14:17.846 --> 00:14:19.315
  • Over to satan, and give satan control
  • 00:14:19.381 --> 00:14:20.616
  • And give satan control over this earth and over people.
  • 00:14:20.683 --> 00:14:22.985
  • Over this earth and over people. that wasn't god's plan.
  • 00:14:23.052 --> 00:14:24.586
  • That wasn't god's plan. there's many, many scriptures
  • 00:14:24.653 --> 00:14:25.821
  • There's many, many scriptures i could bring to show you that
  • 00:14:25.888 --> 00:14:27.056
  • I could bring to show you that that's not what god
  • 00:14:27.122 --> 00:14:28.324
  • That's not what god created us for.
  • 00:14:28.390 --> 00:14:29.725
  • Created us for. but god loved us so much,
  • 00:14:29.792 --> 00:14:31.860
  • But god loved us so much, and he gave us dominion.
  • 00:14:31.927 --> 00:14:34.463
  • And he gave us dominion. again, if you study
  • 00:14:34.530 --> 00:14:35.564
  • Again, if you study these words out
  • 00:14:35.631 --> 00:14:37.032
  • These words out in the hebrew language over
  • 00:14:37.099 --> 00:14:38.067
  • In the hebrew language over there in genesis, chapter 1,
  • 00:14:38.133 --> 00:14:39.535
  • There in genesis, chapter 1, it means absolute control.
  • 00:14:39.601 --> 00:14:42.905
  • It means absolute control. the earth was mankind's
  • 00:14:42.972 --> 00:14:45.007
  • The earth was mankind's to do with as they chose to do.
  • 00:14:45.074 --> 00:14:47.609
  • To do with as they chose to do. god didn't put any restrictions.
  • 00:14:47.676 --> 00:14:49.545
  • God didn't put any restrictions. he didn't say,
  • 00:14:49.611 --> 00:14:50.145
  • He didn't say, i give you dominion
  • 00:14:50.212 --> 00:14:51.180
  • I give you dominion as long as you obey
  • 00:14:51.246 --> 00:14:52.414
  • As long as you obey what i want you to do.
  • 00:14:52.481 --> 00:14:53.482
  • What i want you to do. there was no conditions on this.
  • 00:14:53.549 --> 00:14:54.984
  • There was no conditions on this. there was no fine print
  • 00:14:55.050 --> 00:14:56.752
  • There was no fine print in the contract.
  • 00:14:56.819 --> 00:14:57.920
  • In the contract. and remember,
  • 00:14:57.987 --> 00:14:58.587
  • And remember, that god upholds everything
  • 00:14:58.654 --> 00:15:00.189
  • That god upholds everything by the power in his word,
  • 00:15:00.255 --> 00:15:01.724
  • By the power in his word, the integrity of in...
  • 00:15:01.790 --> 00:15:02.524
  • The integrity of in... of his word.
  • 00:15:02.591 --> 00:15:04.126
  • Of his word. he can't lie.
  • 00:15:04.193 --> 00:15:04.927
  • He can't lie. when he says something
  • 00:15:04.994 --> 00:15:05.861
  • When he says something out of his mouth,
  • 00:15:05.928 --> 00:15:06.662
  • Out of his mouth, it's a contract.
  • 00:15:06.729 --> 00:15:08.197
  • It's a contract. and so, by giving us
  • 00:15:08.263 --> 00:15:10.599
  • And so, by giving us this much power, and dominion,
  • 00:15:10.666 --> 00:15:13.469
  • This much power, and dominion, and authority to run our life,
  • 00:15:13.535 --> 00:15:15.771
  • And authority to run our life, and to have dominion
  • 00:15:15.838 --> 00:15:16.505
  • And to have dominion over this earth, he says,
  • 00:15:16.572 --> 00:15:17.539
  • Over this earth, he says, you can control
  • 00:15:17.606 --> 00:15:18.807
  • You can control the fish of the sea,
  • 00:15:18.874 --> 00:15:19.608
  • The fish of the sea, the fowl of the air,
  • 00:15:19.675 --> 00:15:21.076
  • The fowl of the air, and the animals that are
  • 00:15:21.143 --> 00:15:22.144
  • And the animals that are upon this earth, everything.
  • 00:15:22.211 --> 00:15:23.545
  • Upon this earth, everything. he gave it to us.
  • 00:15:23.612 --> 00:15:25.047
  • He gave it to us. by giving that to us,
  • 00:15:25.114 --> 00:15:27.049
  • By giving that to us, god limited his ability
  • 00:15:27.116 --> 00:15:30.319
  • God limited his ability to run and control the earth.
  • 00:15:30.386 --> 00:15:32.855
  • To run and control the earth. again, i go back
  • 00:15:32.921 --> 00:15:33.489
  • Again, i go back to that scripture
  • 00:15:33.555 --> 00:15:34.256
  • To that scripture i've already quoted
  • 00:15:34.323 --> 00:15:35.024
  • Out of psalms 115, verse 16,
  • 00:15:35.090 --> 00:15:37.860
  • Out of psalms 115, verse 16, and it says, the heaven,
  • 00:15:37.926 --> 00:15:39.161
  • And it says, the heaven, even the heavens
  • 00:15:39.228 --> 00:15:40.229
  • Even the heavens are the lord's:
  • 00:15:40.295 --> 00:15:41.196
  • Are the lord's: but the earth hath he given
  • 00:15:41.263 --> 00:15:43.265
  • But the earth hath he given to the sons of men.
  • 00:15:43.332 --> 00:15:44.600
  • To the sons of men. now some people may compare
  • 00:15:44.666 --> 00:15:45.834
  • Now some people may compare that with where it says
  • 00:15:45.901 --> 00:15:46.835
  • That with where it says the earth is the lord's,
  • 00:15:46.902 --> 00:15:47.803
  • The earth is the lord's, and the fulness thereof
  • 00:15:47.870 --> 00:15:48.971
  • And the fulness thereof and all those who dwell therein.
  • 00:15:49.038 --> 00:15:51.106
  • And all those who dwell therein. and they say,
  • 00:15:51.173 --> 00:15:51.607
  • Are those contradictory?
  • 00:15:51.673 --> 00:15:53.308
  • Are those contradictory? no, the earth belongs
  • 00:15:53.375 --> 00:15:54.276
  • No, the earth belongs to the lord.
  • 00:15:54.343 --> 00:15:55.811
  • To the lord. he's the one that created it,
  • 00:15:55.878 --> 00:15:57.179
  • He's the one that created it, and so therefore as creator,
  • 00:15:57.246 --> 00:15:59.148
  • And so therefore as creator, he is the owner,
  • 00:15:59.214 --> 00:16:00.616
  • He is the owner, but he gave the dominion,
  • 00:16:00.682 --> 00:16:02.284
  • But he gave the dominion, the rulership, the control of it
  • 00:16:02.351 --> 00:16:04.653
  • The rulership, the control of it over to us.
  • 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:06.321
  • Over to us. it would be like if i owned
  • 00:16:06.388 --> 00:16:07.790
  • It would be like if i owned an apartment complex
  • 00:16:07.856 --> 00:16:08.924
  • An apartment complex or something and if i was
  • 00:16:08.991 --> 00:16:10.426
  • Or something and if i was the one who built it,
  • 00:16:10.492 --> 00:16:11.360
  • The one who built it, and i owned it,
  • 00:16:11.427 --> 00:16:12.294
  • And i owned it, but if i made you the manager
  • 00:16:12.361 --> 00:16:13.829
  • But if i made you the manager and if i said you can do with it
  • 00:16:13.896 --> 00:16:15.497
  • And if i said you can do with it whatever you want to,
  • 00:16:15.564 --> 00:16:17.399
  • Whatever you want to, i am not going to intervene,
  • 00:16:17.466 --> 00:16:18.934
  • I am not going to intervene, it is yours.
  • 00:16:19.001 --> 00:16:19.968
  • It is yours. now here's what
  • 00:16:20.035 --> 00:16:20.369
  • Now here's what i would like you to do,
  • 00:16:20.436 --> 00:16:22.137
  • I would like you to do, but if i gave you
  • 00:16:22.204 --> 00:16:23.072
  • But if i gave you that much authority,
  • 00:16:23.138 --> 00:16:24.940
  • That much authority, if you chose not to run things
  • 00:16:25.007 --> 00:16:26.542
  • If you chose not to run things the way that i wanted to,
  • 00:16:26.608 --> 00:16:27.743
  • The way that i wanted to, as owner, i guess i could come
  • 00:16:27.810 --> 00:16:29.978
  • As owner, i guess i could come and take the thing back,
  • 00:16:30.045 --> 00:16:31.680
  • And take the thing back, and destroy the thing,
  • 00:16:31.747 --> 00:16:32.915
  • And destroy the thing, but i can't intervene
  • 00:16:32.981 --> 00:16:35.184
  • But i can't intervene in your affairs if i said,
  • 00:16:35.250 --> 00:16:36.618
  • In your affairs if i said, you run it however you want to.
  • 00:16:36.685 --> 00:16:38.287
  • You run it however you want to. if i was going to hold
  • 00:16:38.353 --> 00:16:39.455
  • If i was going to hold to my word,
  • 00:16:39.521 --> 00:16:40.656
  • To my word, i had to honor what i said.
  • 00:16:40.722 --> 00:16:42.791
  • I had to honor what i said. and this is the way it was
  • 00:16:42.858 --> 00:16:43.792
  • And this is the way it was with god.
  • 00:16:43.859 --> 00:16:44.893
  • With god. god never intended for us
  • 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:46.662
  • God never intended for us to destroy this earth,
  • 00:16:46.728 --> 00:16:49.131
  • To destroy this earth, and destroy our own lives,
  • 00:16:49.198 --> 00:16:50.866
  • And destroy our own lives, and all of the murder,
  • 00:16:50.933 --> 00:16:51.867
  • And all of the murder, and the rape, and the plunder.
  • 00:16:51.934 --> 00:16:53.202
  • And the rape, and the plunder. this is never god's will.
  • 00:16:53.268 --> 00:16:54.803
  • This is never god's will. this is not what he intended,
  • 00:16:54.870 --> 00:16:56.939
  • This is not what he intended, but he created us and gave us
  • 00:16:57.005 --> 00:16:59.975
  • But he created us and gave us such dominion and authority
  • 00:17:00.042 --> 00:17:02.244
  • Such dominion and authority that even though things went
  • 00:17:02.311 --> 00:17:03.545
  • That even though things went contrary to what he said,
  • 00:17:03.612 --> 00:17:04.780
  • Contrary to what he said, he didn't just come in
  • 00:17:04.847 --> 00:17:06.014
  • He didn't just come in and intervene and change
  • 00:17:06.081 --> 00:17:08.617
  • And intervene and change the rules and take his contract
  • 00:17:08.684 --> 00:17:11.353
  • The rules and take his contract back and violate his word.
  • 00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:13.589
  • Back and violate his word. the entire universe
  • 00:17:13.655 --> 00:17:14.389
  • The entire universe would have self-destruct.
  • 00:17:14.456 --> 00:17:15.891
  • Would have self-destruct. he was...he was bound
  • 00:17:15.958 --> 00:17:17.626
  • He was...he was bound by his own integrity.
  • 00:17:17.693 --> 00:17:20.729
  • By his own integrity. boy, tho...these are
  • 00:17:20.796 --> 00:17:21.530
  • Boy, tho...these are powerful truths,
  • 00:17:21.597 --> 00:17:22.498
  • Powerful truths, and i'm ultimately working
  • 00:17:22.564 --> 00:17:24.433
  • And i'm ultimately working towards talking about
  • 00:17:24.500 --> 00:17:25.534
  • Towards talking about the virgin birth,
  • 00:17:25.601 --> 00:17:26.301
  • The virgin birth, but if you don't
  • 00:17:26.368 --> 00:17:26.902
  • But if you don't understand this, again,
  • 00:17:26.969 --> 00:17:28.737
  • Understand this, again, you'll just think,
  • 00:17:28.804 --> 00:17:29.438
  • You'll just think, why did god wait 4,000 years?
  • 00:17:29.505 --> 00:17:31.106
  • Why did god wait 4,000 years? he could have come at any time
  • 00:17:31.173 --> 00:17:32.007
  • He could have come at any time he wanted to.
  • 00:17:32.074 --> 00:17:32.841
  • He wanted to. it's not true.
  • 00:17:32.908 --> 00:17:33.642
  • It's not true. i'm going to explain that
  • 00:17:33.709 --> 00:17:34.276
  • I'm going to explain that in a lot more detail,
  • 00:17:34.343 --> 00:17:35.711
  • In a lot more detail, and also you could have said,
  • 00:17:35.777 --> 00:17:36.578
  • And also you could have said, well, why didn't he come up
  • 00:17:36.645 --> 00:17:37.479
  • Well, why didn't he come up with a different way of
  • 00:17:37.546 --> 00:17:38.981
  • With a different way of redeeming mankind
  • 00:17:39.047 --> 00:17:40.149
  • Redeeming mankind and solving the problems?
  • 00:17:40.215 --> 00:17:42.184
  • And solving the problems? if you understand
  • 00:17:42.251 --> 00:17:42.885
  • If you understand what i'm saying,
  • 00:17:42.951 --> 00:17:43.652
  • What i'm saying, he was bound by his own
  • 00:17:43.719 --> 00:17:45.587
  • He was bound by his own teg...integrity.
  • 00:17:45.654 --> 00:17:46.788
  • Teg...integrity. he couldn't come down here
  • 00:17:46.855 --> 00:17:48.323
  • He couldn't come down here and change the rules and just
  • 00:17:48.390 --> 00:17:49.958
  • And change the rules and just override our own free will.
  • 00:17:50.025 --> 00:17:52.761
  • Override our own free will. and so, god himself
  • 00:17:52.828 --> 00:17:55.130
  • And so, god himself had to become a man
  • 00:17:55.197 --> 00:17:56.231
  • Had to become a man because he gave authority
  • 00:17:56.298 --> 00:17:58.100
  • Because he gave authority over this earth to physical,
  • 00:17:58.167 --> 00:18:00.402
  • Over this earth to physical, human beings.
  • 00:18:00.469 --> 00:18:01.203
  • And john, chapter 4, verse 24
  • 00:18:01.270 --> 00:18:03.172
  • And john, chapter 4, verse 24 says that god is a spirit,
  • 00:18:03.238 --> 00:18:05.607
  • Says that god is a spirit, and those who worship him
  • 00:18:05.674 --> 00:18:06.942
  • And those who worship him must worship him
  • 00:18:07.009 --> 00:18:08.443
  • Must worship him in spirit and in truth.
  • 00:18:08.510 --> 00:18:10.679
  • In spirit and in truth. god isn't a physical being.
  • 00:18:10.746 --> 00:18:12.281
  • He created
  • 00:18:12.347 --> 00:18:13.048
  • He created physical human beings,
  • 00:18:13.115 --> 00:18:14.416
  • Physical human beings, but he himself is a spirit,
  • 00:18:14.483 --> 00:18:16.518
  • But he himself is a spirit, and he gave authority
  • 00:18:16.585 --> 00:18:18.554
  • And he gave authority over this physical planet
  • 00:18:18.620 --> 00:18:20.689
  • Over this physical planet to people with physical bodies.
  • 00:18:20.756 --> 00:18:23.725
  • To people with physical bodies. since god didn't have
  • 00:18:23.792 --> 00:18:24.826
  • Since god didn't have a physical body,
  • 00:18:24.893 --> 00:18:25.961
  • A physical body, he honestly would have
  • 00:18:26.028 --> 00:18:27.496
  • He honestly would have violated his own instructions,
  • 00:18:27.563 --> 00:18:29.498
  • Violated his own instructions, his own integrity,
  • 00:18:29.565 --> 00:18:30.666
  • His own integrity, if he would have
  • 00:18:30.732 --> 00:18:31.333
  • If he would have come down here
  • 00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:32.034
  • Come down here and have just wiped out satan,
  • 00:18:32.100 --> 00:18:34.169
  • And have just wiped out satan, dealt with all of the evil,
  • 00:18:34.236 --> 00:18:35.837
  • Dealt with all of the evil, fixed things
  • 00:18:35.904 --> 00:18:37.139
  • Fixed things and made things work.
  • 00:18:37.206 --> 00:18:38.106
  • And made things work. he would have violated
  • 00:18:38.173 --> 00:18:39.241
  • He would have violated his own word,
  • 00:18:39.308 --> 00:18:40.409
  • His own word, because he didn't have
  • 00:18:40.475 --> 00:18:40.976
  • Because he didn't have a physical body.
  • 00:18:41.043 --> 00:18:42.044
  • A physical body. so this is why jesus had to
  • 00:18:42.110 --> 00:18:44.947
  • So this is why jesus had to become a man.
  • 00:18:45.013 --> 00:18:46.014
  • Become a man. let me turn over
  • 00:18:46.081 --> 00:18:46.481
  • Let me turn over and read this verse to you.
  • 00:18:46.548 --> 00:18:47.516
  • And read this verse to you. i'm not sure i can
  • 00:18:47.583 --> 00:18:49.151
  • I'm not sure i can quote this one exactly.
  • 00:18:49.218 --> 00:18:50.519
  • Quote this one exactly. i don't use this quite as much.
  • 00:18:50.586 --> 00:18:52.054
  • I don't use this quite as much. but in john, chapter 5,
  • 00:18:52.120 --> 00:18:55.224
  • But in john, chapter 5, jesus was talking about
  • 00:18:55.290 --> 00:18:57.926
  • Jesus was talking about his authority that he had
  • 00:18:57.993 --> 00:18:59.328
  • His authority that he had from the father,
  • 00:18:59.394 --> 00:19:00.596
  • And in verse 25
  • 00:19:00.662 --> 00:19:01.697
  • And in verse 25 he says, verily, verily,
  • 00:19:01.763 --> 00:19:02.564
  • He says, verily, verily, i say unto you,
  • 00:19:02.631 --> 00:19:03.432
  • I say unto you, the hour is coming, and now is,
  • 00:19:03.498 --> 00:19:06.401
  • The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear
  • 00:19:06.468 --> 00:19:07.603
  • When the dead shall hear the voice of the son of god:
  • 00:19:07.669 --> 00:19:09.638
  • The voice of the son of god: and they that hear shall live.
  • 00:19:09.705 --> 00:19:12.574
  • And they that hear shall live. for as the father
  • 00:19:12.641 --> 00:19:14.009
  • For as the father hath life in himself;
  • 00:19:14.076 --> 00:19:15.811
  • Hath life in himself; so hath he given to the son
  • 00:19:15.877 --> 00:19:17.546
  • So hath he given to the son to have life in himself;
  • 00:19:17.613 --> 00:19:19.381
  • To have life in himself; and hath given him authority
  • 00:19:19.448 --> 00:19:21.783
  • And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
  • 00:19:21.850 --> 00:19:23.885
  • To execute judgment also, because he is the son of man.
  • 00:19:23.952 --> 00:19:26.755
  • Now, again, most people
  • 00:19:28.056 --> 00:19:28.957
  • Now, again, most people just read over these things
  • 00:19:29.024 --> 00:19:30.359
  • Just read over these things and don't think about it.
  • 00:19:30.425 --> 00:19:31.994
  • And don't think about it. i tell you, if you would
  • 00:19:32.060 --> 00:19:32.794
  • I tell you, if you would use your brain for something
  • 00:19:32.861 --> 00:19:34.630
  • Use your brain for something besides a hat rack it's amazing
  • 00:19:34.696 --> 00:19:36.765
  • Besides a hat rack it's amazing what you would come up with.
  • 00:19:36.832 --> 00:19:38.700
  • What you would come up with. but think of this, he says,
  • 00:19:38.767 --> 00:19:39.801
  • But think of this, he says, this is the reason
  • 00:19:39.868 --> 00:19:41.603
  • This is the reason god, the father,
  • 00:19:41.670 --> 00:19:42.804
  • God, the father, gave jesus authority
  • 00:19:42.871 --> 00:19:44.206
  • Gave jesus authority to execute judgment
  • 00:19:44.273 --> 00:19:46.041
  • To execute judgment in order...you... you could say,
  • 00:19:46.108 --> 00:19:47.843
  • In order...you... you could say, in order to in...intervene
  • 00:19:47.909 --> 00:19:49.945
  • In order to in...intervene in the affairs of men
  • 00:19:50.012 --> 00:19:51.113
  • In the affairs of men and to have control
  • 00:19:51.179 --> 00:19:52.547
  • And to have control and to deal with things.
  • 00:19:52.614 --> 00:19:53.482
  • And to deal with things. the reason he was given
  • 00:19:53.548 --> 00:19:54.883
  • The reason he was given this authority is because he was
  • 00:19:54.950 --> 00:19:57.653
  • This authority is because he was the son of man,
  • 00:19:57.719 --> 00:19:59.087
  • The son of man, and i'm not going to take time
  • 00:19:59.154 --> 00:20:00.088
  • And i'm not going to take time to go through, but you could
  • 00:20:00.155 --> 00:20:01.189
  • To go through, but you could study this out.
  • 00:20:01.256 --> 00:20:02.224
  • Study this out. it's consistent in the gospels
  • 00:20:02.291 --> 00:20:04.159
  • It's consistent in the gospels that when jesus is called
  • 00:20:04.226 --> 00:20:05.761
  • That when jesus is called the son of god,
  • 00:20:05.827 --> 00:20:07.162
  • The son of god, it's referring to his divinity.
  • 00:20:07.229 --> 00:20:09.665
  • It says over in
  • 00:20:09.731 --> 00:20:10.198
  • It says over in 1 timothy, chapter 3, verse 16,
  • 00:20:10.265 --> 00:20:12.301
  • 1 timothy, chapter 3, verse 16, that god was
  • 00:20:12.367 --> 00:20:13.035
  • That god was manifest in the flesh,
  • 00:20:13.101 --> 00:20:14.503
  • Manifest in the flesh, jesus was god in the flesh,
  • 00:20:14.569 --> 00:20:16.438
  • Jesus was god in the flesh, so when it calls him
  • 00:20:16.505 --> 00:20:17.472
  • The son of god, that's referring
  • 00:20:17.539 --> 00:20:19.241
  • The son of god, that's referring to his divinity.
  • 00:20:19.308 --> 00:20:21.109
  • The angels,
  • 00:20:21.176 --> 00:20:21.810
  • The angels, at the birth of jesus said,
  • 00:20:21.877 --> 00:20:23.145
  • At the birth of jesus said, come see christ the lord.
  • 00:20:23.211 --> 00:20:25.580
  • Come see christ the lord. that word for, lord,
  • 00:20:25.647 --> 00:20:26.581
  • That word for, lord, is the exact word that's used
  • 00:20:26.648 --> 00:20:27.949
  • Is the exact word that's used for god all throughout
  • 00:20:28.016 --> 00:20:29.718
  • For god all throughout the new testament.
  • 00:20:29.785 --> 00:20:30.786
  • Jesus was god at birth.
  • 00:20:30.852 --> 00:20:32.854
  • Jesus was god at birth. he didn't grow
  • 00:20:32.921 --> 00:20:33.622
  • He didn't grow into becoming god,
  • 00:20:33.689 --> 00:20:34.856
  • Into becoming god, he was god.
  • 00:20:34.923 --> 00:20:36.491
  • He was god. so when it refers to jesus
  • 00:20:36.558 --> 00:20:38.727
  • So when it refers to jesus as being the son of god,
  • 00:20:38.794 --> 00:20:39.928
  • As being the son of god, that's talking about
  • 00:20:39.995 --> 00:20:40.595
  • That's talking about his divinity,
  • 00:20:40.662 --> 00:20:41.997
  • His divinity, but when it refers to jesus,
  • 00:20:42.064 --> 00:20:43.665
  • But when it refers to jesus, as the son of man,
  • 00:20:43.732 --> 00:20:45.167
  • As the son of man, that is referring to
  • 00:20:45.233 --> 00:20:46.301
  • That is referring to his physical body,
  • 00:20:46.368 --> 00:20:47.869
  • And luke 2:52 says,
  • 00:20:47.936 --> 00:20:49.471
  • And luke 2:52 says, jesus had to grow in
  • 00:20:49.538 --> 00:20:50.906
  • Jesus had to grow in wisdom and in stature,
  • 00:20:50.972 --> 00:20:53.241
  • Wisdom and in stature, and in favor with god and man.
  • 00:20:53.308 --> 00:20:54.976
  • And in favor with god and man. his physical body grew.
  • 00:20:55.043 --> 00:20:57.346
  • He didn't come out of the womb
  • 00:20:57.412 --> 00:20:58.613
  • He didn't come out of the womb speaking hebrew.
  • 00:20:58.680 --> 00:20:59.981
  • Speaking hebrew. he had to learn to talk.
  • 00:21:00.048 --> 00:21:01.416
  • He had to learn to talk. he had to learn to walk.
  • 00:21:01.483 --> 00:21:02.617
  • He had to learn to walk. his physical body had to grow,
  • 00:21:02.684 --> 00:21:05.654
  • His physical body had to grow, but in the spirit,
  • 00:21:05.721 --> 00:21:06.588
  • But in the spirit, he was christ the lord at birth.
  • 00:21:06.655 --> 00:21:10.058
  • He was christ the lord at birth. so, when it refers to the reason
  • 00:21:10.125 --> 00:21:11.960
  • So, when it refers to the reason he has authority is
  • 00:21:12.027 --> 00:21:13.295
  • He has authority is because he was the son of man,
  • 00:21:13.362 --> 00:21:15.797
  • Because he was the son of man, he's saying it's because of
  • 00:21:15.864 --> 00:21:16.932
  • He's saying it's because of this physical body
  • 00:21:16.998 --> 00:21:19.167
  • This physical body that he now had authority.
  • 00:21:19.234 --> 00:21:22.437
  • That he now had authority. i've got so much more
  • 00:21:22.504 --> 00:21:23.538
  • I've got so much more to share about this.
  • 00:21:23.605 --> 00:21:24.773
  • To share about this. i'm running short of time today,
  • 00:21:24.840 --> 00:21:25.507
  • I'm running short of time today, but i tell you, if you can
  • 00:21:25.574 --> 00:21:27.008
  • But i tell you, if you can piece these things together,
  • 00:21:27.075 --> 00:21:28.110
  • Piece these things together, and i...i'm going to
  • 00:21:28.176 --> 00:21:28.977
  • And i...i'm going to be talking about this,
  • 00:21:29.044 --> 00:21:30.545
  • Be talking about this, it will help you to understand
  • 00:21:30.612 --> 00:21:32.848
  • It will help you to understand why the lord waited 4,000 years.
  • 00:21:32.914 --> 00:21:35.817
  • Why the lord waited 4,000 years. he came at the first
  • 00:21:35.884 --> 00:21:37.185
  • He came at the first opportune moment,
  • 00:21:37.252 --> 00:21:38.420
  • Opportune moment, the first time that he could.
  • 00:21:38.487 --> 00:21:40.922
  • The first time that he could. and again, i know that
  • 00:21:40.989 --> 00:21:41.690
  • And again, i know that that rubs some people's
  • 00:21:41.757 --> 00:21:42.758
  • That rubs some people's religious thinking the wrong...
  • 00:21:42.824 --> 00:21:44.793
  • Religious thinking the wrong... because god can do anything.
  • 00:21:44.860 --> 00:21:45.994
  • Because god can do anything. no, he can't lie,
  • 00:21:46.061 --> 00:21:47.295
  • No, he can't lie, he can't violate his word.
  • 00:21:47.362 --> 00:21:49.364
  • He can't violate his word. he cannot just intervene
  • 00:21:49.431 --> 00:21:50.832
  • He cannot just intervene and...and wipe things out
  • 00:21:50.899 --> 00:21:52.768
  • And...and wipe things out that he had promised mankind.
  • 00:21:52.834 --> 00:21:54.236
  • That he had promised mankind. so, he came at the first
  • 00:21:54.302 --> 00:21:55.537
  • So, he came at the first opportune time,
  • 00:21:55.604 --> 00:21:56.738
  • Opportune time, and it was necessary
  • 00:21:56.805 --> 00:21:58.874
  • And it was necessary that jesus had to become
  • 00:21:58.940 --> 00:22:01.376
  • That jesus had to become a man so that he could have
  • 00:22:01.443 --> 00:22:03.945
  • A man so that he could have authority in this earth.
  • 00:22:04.012 --> 00:22:06.548
  • Authority in this earth. he had given authority
  • 00:22:06.615 --> 00:22:07.616
  • He had given authority to physical human beings,
  • 00:22:07.682 --> 00:22:09.151
  • And god is a spirit:
  • 00:22:09.217 --> 00:22:10.886
  • And god is a spirit: and those who worship him
  • 00:22:10.952 --> 00:22:11.887
  • And those who worship him must worship him in spirit
  • 00:22:11.953 --> 00:22:13.288
  • Must worship him in spirit and in truth.
  • 00:22:13.355 --> 00:22:13.989
  • And in truth. john 4:24.
  • 00:22:14.055 --> 00:22:15.023
  • John 4:24. so god had to
  • 00:22:15.090 --> 00:22:16.558
  • Become a man.
  • 00:22:16.625 --> 00:22:17.793
  • Become a man. i tell you, i ans...
  • 00:22:17.859 --> 00:22:18.727
  • I tell you, i ans... i asked these questions
  • 00:22:18.794 --> 00:22:19.828
  • I asked these questions for decades
  • 00:22:19.895 --> 00:22:20.695
  • For decades before i got answers
  • 00:22:20.762 --> 00:22:21.930
  • Before i got answers studying the word of god,
  • 00:22:21.997 --> 00:22:23.432
  • Studying the word of god, and it has just
  • 00:22:23.498 --> 00:22:24.699
  • And it has just blessed me so much.
  • 00:22:24.766 --> 00:22:26.101
  • Blessed me so much. and in this series
  • 00:22:26.168 --> 00:22:26.835
  • As we go through this,
  • 00:22:27.335 --> 00:22:28.703
  • This will also not only
  • 00:22:28.703 --> 00:22:30.439
  • Explain to you the virgin birth,
  • 00:22:30.439 --> 00:22:32.274
  • Why it was necessary,
  • 00:22:32.274 --> 00:22:33.608
  • How it happened,
  • 00:22:33.608 --> 00:22:34.843
  • But it'll also share with you
  • 00:22:34.843 --> 00:22:36.645
  • About how you can
