  • Pastor matt hagee: in mark 12:30,
  • 00:00:15.775 --> 00:00:18.078
  • Mark 12:30, jesus christ is in jerusalem,
  • 00:00:18.178 --> 00:00:21.014
  • Jesus christ is in jerusalem, just a few days
  • 00:00:21.114 --> 00:00:21.981
  • Just a few days before his arrest,
  • 00:00:22.082 --> 00:00:24.050
  • Before his arrest, before his false prosecution,
  • 00:00:24.117 --> 00:00:27.087
  • Before his false prosecution, his crucifixion.
  • 00:00:27.153 --> 00:00:28.988
  • His crucifixion. and while he's there,
  • 00:00:29.089 --> 00:00:30.423
  • And while he's there, scribes and pharisees are doing
  • 00:00:30.490 --> 00:00:32.358
  • Scribes and pharisees are doing everything that they
  • 00:00:32.425 --> 00:00:33.526
  • Everything that they can to trip him up.
  • 00:00:33.593 --> 00:00:36.830
  • Can to trip him up. they wanna prove that this
  • 00:00:36.896 --> 00:00:37.864
  • They wanna prove that this carpenter from nazareth is no
  • 00:00:37.964 --> 00:00:40.400
  • Carpenter from nazareth is no authorized scholar,
  • 00:00:40.467 --> 00:00:41.367
  • Authorized scholar, that he's not even a real rabbi,
  • 00:00:41.434 --> 00:00:43.503
  • That he's not even a real rabbi, and his disciples who used
  • 00:00:43.603 --> 00:00:44.871
  • And his disciples who used to be fishermen have
  • 00:00:44.971 --> 00:00:46.039
  • To be fishermen have no authority or power
  • 00:00:46.139 --> 00:00:48.341
  • No authority or power or purpose as far as the will
  • 00:00:48.408 --> 00:00:50.343
  • Or purpose as far as the will and the work of god
  • 00:00:50.443 --> 00:00:51.111
  • And the work of god on earth is concerned.
  • 00:00:51.211 --> 00:00:53.379
  • On earth is concerned. so, in an effort
  • 00:00:53.446 --> 00:00:53.980
  • So, in an effort to disqualify him,
  • 00:00:54.047 --> 00:00:55.515
  • To disqualify him, they choose to debate him.
  • 00:00:55.582 --> 00:00:57.984
  • They choose to debate him. and they ask a series of
  • 00:00:58.051 --> 00:00:59.819
  • And they ask a series of "gotcha" questions.
  • 00:00:59.919 --> 00:01:02.822
  • "gotcha" questions. questions that have
  • 00:01:02.889 --> 00:01:03.490
  • Questions that have no win answers.
  • 00:01:03.556 --> 00:01:04.657
  • No win answers. if he says one thing,
  • 00:01:04.757 --> 00:01:06.426
  • If he says one thing, well then he's boxed himself
  • 00:01:06.526 --> 00:01:07.393
  • Well then he's boxed himself in over here,
  • 00:01:07.494 --> 00:01:08.294
  • In over here, and if he says another,
  • 00:01:08.361 --> 00:01:09.162
  • And if he says another, then he's boxed himself
  • 00:01:09.262 --> 00:01:10.029
  • Then he's boxed himself in over there.
  • 00:01:10.096 --> 00:01:11.664
  • In over there. it was a fool's errand,
  • 00:01:11.731 --> 00:01:12.732
  • It was a fool's errand, because not only did jesus
  • 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:13.967
  • Because not only did jesus know what their purpose
  • 00:01:14.033 --> 00:01:14.901
  • Know what their purpose and intent was,
  • 00:01:14.968 --> 00:01:15.835
  • And intent was, but jesus is the source
  • 00:01:15.902 --> 00:01:16.936
  • But jesus is the source of all truth.
  • 00:01:17.036 --> 00:01:17.704
  • Of all truth. i mean, if you're gonna
  • 00:01:17.804 --> 00:01:18.438
  • I mean, if you're gonna play trivial pursuit,
  • 00:01:18.538 --> 00:01:19.472
  • Play trivial pursuit, don't play with him.
  • 00:01:19.572 --> 00:01:24.878
  • Don't play with him. and so, one of the scribes
  • 00:01:24.978 --> 00:01:26.346
  • And so, one of the scribes and pharisees comes and asks,
  • 00:01:26.412 --> 00:01:28.314
  • And pharisees comes and asks, "is it legal to pay taxes?"
  • 00:01:28.381 --> 00:01:31.885
  • "is it legal to pay taxes?" and this is the conversation
  • 00:01:31.951 --> 00:01:32.852
  • And this is the conversation in which jesus says,
  • 00:01:32.919 --> 00:01:33.653
  • In which jesus says, "pull out money
  • 00:01:33.753 --> 00:01:34.387
  • "pull out money from your pocket and tell me
  • 00:01:34.487 --> 00:01:35.755
  • From your pocket and tell me whose picture you see on it."
  • 00:01:35.855 --> 00:01:37.323
  • Whose picture you see on it." and the pharisee says,
  • 00:01:37.423 --> 00:01:38.024
  • And the pharisee says, "well, that's
  • 00:01:38.091 --> 00:01:38.558
  • "well, that's caesar's picture."
  • 00:01:38.625 --> 00:01:39.159
  • Caesar's picture." he says,
  • 00:01:39.225 --> 00:01:39.626
  • He says, "well, if it's caesar's picture,
  • 00:01:39.726 --> 00:01:40.360
  • "well, if it's caesar's picture, it's caesar's money
  • 00:01:40.426 --> 00:01:41.161
  • It's caesar's money so give it to caesar."
  • 00:01:41.261 --> 00:01:43.663
  • So give it to caesar." and then, the next guy
  • 00:01:43.730 --> 00:01:44.364
  • And then, the next guy comes up and says,
  • 00:01:44.430 --> 00:01:45.031
  • Comes up and says, "hey, what's the greatest
  • 00:01:45.098 --> 00:01:46.132
  • "hey, what's the greatest of all commandments?"
  • 00:01:46.199 --> 00:01:48.701
  • Of all commandments?" and jesus immediately
  • 00:01:48.768 --> 00:01:49.702
  • And jesus immediately answers with deuteronomy 6,
  • 00:01:49.802 --> 00:01:53.239
  • Answers with deuteronomy 6, in which it is said,
  • 00:01:53.339 --> 00:01:54.707
  • In which it is said, "behold o israel,
  • 00:01:54.774 --> 00:01:55.475
  • "behold o israel, the lord our god is one,
  • 00:01:55.542 --> 00:01:57.377
  • The lord our god is one, and you shall love the lord
  • 00:01:57.443 --> 00:01:58.311
  • And you shall love the lord your god with all of your heart,
  • 00:01:58.411 --> 00:01:59.612
  • Your god with all of your heart, with all of your soul,
  • 00:01:59.712 --> 00:02:00.246
  • With all of your soul, with all of your mind,
  • 00:02:00.346 --> 00:02:01.014
  • With all of your mind, and with all of your strength."
  • 00:02:01.114 --> 00:02:02.482
  • And with all of your strength." and then jesus adds
  • 00:02:02.549 --> 00:02:03.850
  • And then jesus adds to the conversation and says,
  • 00:02:03.917 --> 00:02:05.251
  • To the conversation and says, "and you shall love your
  • 00:02:05.351 --> 00:02:06.186
  • "and you shall love your neighbor as yourself."
  • 00:02:06.252 --> 00:02:10.290
  • Neighbor as yourself." he lets him know it's not
  • 00:02:10.356 --> 00:02:11.191
  • He lets him know it's not just enough to be
  • 00:02:11.257 --> 00:02:12.258
  • Just enough to be in love with god,
  • 00:02:12.358 --> 00:02:14.527
  • In love with god, but it's only manifested
  • 00:02:14.594 --> 00:02:15.428
  • But it's only manifested by how you treat others.
  • 00:02:15.495 --> 00:02:18.831
  • By how you treat others. and there's a lot of people in
  • 00:02:18.898 --> 00:02:19.766
  • And there's a lot of people in this world that will claim that
  • 00:02:19.832 --> 00:02:20.934
  • This world that will claim that they love jesus but they don't
  • 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:22.168
  • They love jesus but they don't treat other people that
  • 00:02:22.268 --> 00:02:23.102
  • Treat other people that jesus loves very well.
  • 00:02:23.203 --> 00:02:26.773
  • Jesus loves very well. the bible says that if we love
  • 00:02:26.839 --> 00:02:28.074
  • The bible says that if we love god and hate our brother,
  • 00:02:28.141 --> 00:02:29.943
  • God and hate our brother, the truth is not in us.
  • 00:02:30.043 --> 00:02:33.513
  • The truth is not in us. and in the end
  • 00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:34.147
  • And in the end of this conversation,
  • 00:02:34.214 --> 00:02:35.448
  • Of this conversation, the attorney agrees with jesus
  • 00:02:35.515 --> 00:02:37.150
  • The attorney agrees with jesus because he's not only
  • 00:02:37.217 --> 00:02:38.051
  • Because he's not only answered correctly,
  • 00:02:38.117 --> 00:02:38.985
  • Answered correctly, but jesus tells the attorney,
  • 00:02:39.052 --> 00:02:41.154
  • But jesus tells the attorney, "you are close
  • 00:02:41.254 --> 00:02:43.856
  • "you are close to the kingdom."
  • 00:02:43.923 --> 00:02:45.625
  • To the kingdom." say that with me,
  • 00:02:45.725 --> 00:02:46.392
  • Say that with me, "you are close to the kingdom."
  • 00:02:46.492 --> 00:02:50.230
  • "you are close to the kingdom." but there's some things you
  • 00:02:50.296 --> 00:02:51.297
  • But there's some things you need to know about his kingdom.
  • 00:02:51.397 --> 00:02:54.000
  • Need to know about his kingdom. it doesn't operate like
  • 00:02:54.100 --> 00:02:55.168
  • It doesn't operate like the world operates.
  • 00:02:55.268 --> 00:02:57.837
  • The world operates. and when you try to function in
  • 00:02:57.904 --> 00:02:59.606
  • And when you try to function in his kingdom in the world's way,
  • 00:02:59.706 --> 00:03:01.874
  • His kingdom in the world's way, you're going to be frustrated
  • 00:03:01.941 --> 00:03:03.276
  • You're going to be frustrated because you're trying to do
  • 00:03:03.343 --> 00:03:04.611
  • Because you're trying to do the right thing the wrong way.
  • 00:03:04.677 --> 00:03:09.616
  • The right thing the wrong way. so, how does
  • 00:03:09.682 --> 00:03:10.149
  • So, how does his kingdom operate.
  • 00:03:10.250 --> 00:03:12.352
  • His kingdom operate. like all kingdoms
  • 00:03:12.418 --> 00:03:13.519
  • Like all kingdoms and foreign lands,
  • 00:03:13.586 --> 00:03:16.289
  • And foreign lands, it requires currency.
  • 00:03:16.356 --> 00:03:19.192
  • It requires currency. and currency is something that
  • 00:03:19.259 --> 00:03:20.393
  • And currency is something that you use in exchange
  • 00:03:20.493 --> 00:03:21.861
  • You use in exchange for something of value.
  • 00:03:21.928 --> 00:03:24.797
  • For something of value. in mark 12:33,
  • 00:03:24.864 --> 00:03:26.132
  • In mark 12:33, jesus settles the debate
  • 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:27.367
  • Jesus settles the debate about what his kingdom
  • 00:03:27.467 --> 00:03:28.601
  • About what his kingdom will accept as currency
  • 00:03:28.668 --> 00:03:29.902
  • Will accept as currency and it comes down to one word
  • 00:03:30.003 --> 00:03:31.271
  • And it comes down to one word and one word only,
  • 00:03:31.371 --> 00:03:32.272
  • And one word only, and that word is love.
  • 00:03:32.338 --> 00:03:35.908
  • And that word is love. love is the currency
  • 00:03:35.975 --> 00:03:38.645
  • Love is the currency of the kingdom.
  • 00:03:38.711 --> 00:03:40.079
  • Of the kingdom. say that with me.
  • 00:03:40.146 --> 00:03:40.980
  • Say that with me. love is the currency
  • 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.483
  • Love is the currency of the kingdom.
  • 00:03:43.583 --> 00:03:46.052
  • Of the kingdom. consider what the apostle paul
  • 00:03:46.119 --> 00:03:47.320
  • Consider what the apostle paul said in 1 corinthians 13.
  • 00:03:47.387 --> 00:03:49.722
  • Said in 1 corinthians 13. he said,
  • 00:03:49.789 --> 00:03:50.223
  • He said, "if i knew all that
  • 00:03:50.290 --> 00:03:50.857
  • "if i knew all that there was to know,
  • 00:03:50.957 --> 00:03:51.491
  • There was to know, if i could do all
  • 00:03:51.591 --> 00:03:52.191
  • If i could do all that there was to do,
  • 00:03:52.258 --> 00:03:53.026
  • That there was to do, if i could give all that
  • 00:03:53.126 --> 00:03:54.027
  • If i could give all that there was to give,
  • 00:03:54.127 --> 00:03:54.727
  • There was to give, but i do not have love,"
  • 00:03:54.794 --> 00:03:56.996
  • But i do not have love," i'm nothing.
  • 00:03:57.063 --> 00:03:59.432
  • I'm nothing. here, jesus tells the sadducee
  • 00:03:59.532 --> 00:04:01.267
  • Here, jesus tells the sadducee and the pharisee who are asking
  • 00:04:01.334 --> 00:04:02.935
  • And the pharisee who are asking him about the most important
  • 00:04:03.036 --> 00:04:05.171
  • Him about the most important of the commandments.
  • 00:04:05.238 --> 00:04:06.105
  • Of the commandments. he speaks to them and he says,
  • 00:04:06.172 --> 00:04:07.473
  • He speaks to them and he says, "it's exchanged in love."
  • 00:04:07.540 --> 00:04:10.610
  • "it's exchanged in love." "love the lord your god,"
  • 00:04:10.677 --> 00:04:11.844
  • "love the lord your god," and then he lists five accounts.
  • 00:04:11.944 --> 00:04:13.613
  • And then he lists five accounts. he says,
  • 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:14.113
  • He says, "with all of your heart,
  • 00:04:14.180 --> 00:04:14.914
  • "with all of your heart, with all of your soul,
  • 00:04:14.981 --> 00:04:15.915
  • With all of your soul, with all of your mind,
  • 00:04:16.015 --> 00:04:16.783
  • With all of your mind, with all of your strength,
  • 00:04:16.849 --> 00:04:18.251
  • With all of your strength, and your neighbor as yourself."
  • 00:04:18.318 --> 00:04:23.690
  • And your neighbor as yourself." john told us in 1 john,
  • 00:04:23.756 --> 00:04:25.525
  • John told us in 1 john, "we love god because
  • 00:04:25.591 --> 00:04:26.592
  • "we love god because he first loved us.
  • 00:04:26.693 --> 00:04:28.161
  • He first loved us. and if we say we love him
  • 00:04:28.261 --> 00:04:29.429
  • And if we say we love him and hate our brother,
  • 00:04:29.495 --> 00:04:30.563
  • And hate our brother, the love of god is not in us."
  • 00:04:30.630 --> 00:04:34.834
  • The love of god is not in us." when it comes to this exchange,
  • 00:04:34.901 --> 00:04:37.303
  • When it comes to this exchange, god is not interested
  • 00:04:37.403 --> 00:04:38.371
  • God is not interested in how much you give,
  • 00:04:38.438 --> 00:04:39.972
  • In how much you give, god is not interested
  • 00:04:40.039 --> 00:04:40.907
  • God is not interested in how much you know,
  • 00:04:40.973 --> 00:04:42.308
  • In how much you know, god is not interested in how
  • 00:04:42.408 --> 00:04:43.509
  • God is not interested in how many good deeds
  • 00:04:43.609 --> 00:04:44.344
  • Many good deeds you're willing to do.
  • 00:04:44.410 --> 00:04:45.078
  • You're willing to do. god is interested in how much
  • 00:04:45.178 --> 00:04:47.313
  • God is interested in how much you are willing to sacrifice
  • 00:04:47.380 --> 00:04:48.648
  • You are willing to sacrifice yourself in love for god.
  • 00:04:48.715 --> 00:04:52.618
  • Yourself in love for god. the bible tells us that we are
  • 00:04:52.719 --> 00:04:54.120
  • The bible tells us that we are kings and priests unto god.
  • 00:04:54.187 --> 00:04:57.557
  • Kings and priests unto god. we read that in revelation 1:9,

  • As hannah said, all the days of his life.
  • 00:14:22.655 --> 00:14:26.792
  • All the days of his life. but it was because hannah was

  • For psalms 120:8 says,
  • 00:15:46.939 --> 00:15:48.073
  • For psalms 120:8 says, "the man who fears the lord,
  • 00:15:48.140 --> 00:15:49.274
  • "the man who fears the lord, god will bless you out

  • Children's children." when you give your family
  • 00:15:57.316 --> 00:15:58.183
  • When you give your family to god,
  • 00:15:58.250 --> 00:15:58.817
  • To god, it pays off for generations.
  • 00:15:58.884 --> 00:16:02.921
  • It pays off for generations. some people treasure their time.
  • 00:16:03.022 --> 00:16:05.557
  • Some people treasure their time. and time is a good
  • 00:16:05.624 --> 00:16:06.325
  • And time is a good thing to treasure.
  • 00:16:06.392 --> 00:16:08.060
  • Thing to treasure. that's why the bible says,
  • 00:16:08.127 --> 00:16:08.894
  • That's why the bible says, "redeem the time."
  • 00:16:08.961 --> 00:16:11.864
  • "redeem the time." when you redeem time,
  • 00:16:11.964 --> 00:16:13.165

  • One thing about time is you're never gonna make any more of it,
  • 00:16:21.306 --> 00:16:24.376
  • Never gonna make any more of it, and you're losing it every day.
  • 00:16:24.443 --> 00:16:28.313
  • And you're losing it every day. but people say,
  • 00:16:28.380 --> 00:16:28.881
  • But people say, "how can i give god my time?"
  • 00:16:28.947 --> 00:16:32.017
  • "how can i give god my time?" if you sacrifice it in love,
  • 00:16:32.084 --> 00:16:33.685
  • If you sacrifice it in love, it becomes kingdom currency.
  • 00:16:33.752 --> 00:16:36.755
  • It becomes kingdom currency. you see,
  • 00:16:36.855 --> 00:16:37.222
  • You see, when you exchange with god
  • 00:16:37.289 --> 00:16:38.791

  • I call the middle man. now, there are hours
  • 00:17:06.018 --> 00:17:06.785
  • Now, there are hours of discussion that can
  • 00:17:06.885 --> 00:17:07.719
  • Of discussion that can be taught on this topic,
  • 00:17:07.786 --> 00:17:09.054
  • Be taught on this topic, but here it is in
  • 00:17:09.121 --> 00:17:09.855
  • But here it is in a very short synopsis.
  • 00:17:09.922 --> 00:17:11.223
  • A very short synopsis. you are a triune being
  • 00:17:11.290 --> 00:17:13.158
  • You are a triune being just like god,
  • 00:17:13.225 --> 00:17:14.193
  • Just like god, created in his image.
  • 00:17:14.293 --> 00:17:16.261
  • Created in his image. god is father, son,
  • 00:17:16.328 --> 00:17:17.963
  • God is father, son, and holy spirit.
  • 00:17:18.030 --> 00:17:19.631
  • And holy spirit. you are spirit,
  • 00:17:19.731 --> 00:17:21.366
  • You are spirit, soul, and flesh.
  • 00:17:21.467 --> 00:17:24.236
  • Soul, and flesh. now, the spirit man is the part
  • 00:17:24.303 --> 00:17:26.138
  • Now, the spirit man is the part of you that is born of god.
  • 00:17:26.205 --> 00:17:28.874
  • Of you that is born of god. when you read in the bible that
  • 00:17:28.941 --> 00:17:30.242
  • When you read in the bible that we were dead in our sins,
  • 00:17:30.309 --> 00:17:32.010
  • We were dead in our sins, the part of us
  • 00:17:32.077 --> 00:17:32.911
  • The part of us that was dead was
  • 00:17:32.978 --> 00:17:33.879
  • That was dead was the spiritual man,
  • 00:17:33.946 --> 00:17:34.913
  • The spiritual man, and jesus brought that
  • 00:17:34.980 --> 00:17:36.148
  • And jesus brought that man back to life whenever
  • 00:17:36.248 --> 00:17:38.150
  • Man back to life whenever he redeemed us with his blood.
  • 00:17:38.217 --> 00:17:41.120
  • He redeemed us with his blood. now, your flesh is
  • 00:17:41.186 --> 00:17:42.521
  • Now, your flesh is the fallen and corrupt man.
  • 00:17:42.621 --> 00:17:45.591
  • The fallen and corrupt man. and this is why you read
  • 00:17:45.657 --> 00:17:46.725
  • And this is why you read in the bible that the carnal
  • 00:17:46.792 --> 00:17:48.060
  • In the bible that the carnal mind is at enmity with god.
  • 00:17:48.127 --> 00:17:51.597
  • Mind is at enmity with god. your flesh will always
  • 00:17:51.663 --> 00:17:53.398
  • Your flesh will always try to refute,
  • 00:17:53.499 --> 00:17:55.434
  • Try to refute, and argue,
  • 00:17:55.501 --> 00:17:56.335
  • And argue, and doubt god's word,
  • 00:17:56.435 --> 00:17:57.803
  • And doubt god's word, and do everything
  • 00:17:57.870 --> 00:17:58.604
  • And do everything it can to disobey it.
  • 00:17:58.670 --> 00:17:59.972
  • It can to disobey it. your flesh is the part of you
  • 00:18:00.038 --> 00:18:01.573
  • Your flesh is the part of you that likes comfort, amen.
  • 00:18:01.673 --> 00:18:07.346
  • That likes comfort, amen. but then there's the soul,
  • 00:18:07.412 --> 00:18:09.214
  • But then there's the soul, and the soul is
  • 00:18:09.281 --> 00:18:10.048
  • And the soul is the man in the middle.
  • 00:18:10.115 --> 00:18:11.984
  • The man in the middle. the soul is the one that
  • 00:18:12.050 --> 00:18:13.118
  • The soul is the one that if he submits to god
  • 00:18:13.185 --> 00:18:14.286
  • If he submits to god and resists the devil,
  • 00:18:14.353 --> 00:18:15.287
  • And resists the devil, the devil will
  • 00:18:15.354 --> 00:18:15.888
  • The devil will flee from him.
  • 00:18:15.954 --> 00:18:16.622
  • Flee from him. and likewise,
  • 00:18:16.688 --> 00:18:17.956
  • And likewise, if he gives into the flesh,
  • 00:18:18.023 --> 00:18:19.558
  • If he gives into the flesh, then he sows corruption
  • 00:18:19.625 --> 00:18:20.926
  • Then he sows corruption back into himself.
  • 00:18:20.993 --> 00:18:23.829
  • Back into himself. and whether or not you know it,
  • 00:18:23.896 --> 00:18:24.997
  • And whether or not you know it, you've been watching this
  • 00:18:25.063 --> 00:18:26.498
  • You've been watching this doctrinally play out in
  • 00:18:26.565 --> 00:18:28.300
  • Doctrinally play out in tom and jerry cartoons
  • 00:18:28.367 --> 00:18:29.201
  • Tom and jerry cartoons all of your life.
  • 00:18:29.268 --> 00:18:31.403
  • All of your life. you remember the little devil
  • 00:18:31.470 --> 00:18:32.371
  • You remember the little devil that used to come up on tom's
  • 00:18:32.437 --> 00:18:33.539
  • That used to come up on tom's shoulder and say, "eat jerry"?
  • 00:18:33.605 --> 00:18:36.074
  • Shoulder and say, "eat jerry"? and the angel would say,
  • 00:18:36.141 --> 00:18:36.842
  • And the angel would say, "don't eat jerry."
  • 00:18:36.909 --> 00:18:39.011
  • "don't eat jerry." and tom's in the middle going,
  • 00:18:39.077 --> 00:18:39.978
  • And tom's in the middle going, "eat him, don't eat him.
  • 00:18:40.045 --> 00:18:40.779
  • "eat him, don't eat him. eat him, don't eat him."
  • 00:18:40.879 --> 00:18:43.248
  • Eat him, don't eat him." this is the same thing
  • 00:18:43.315 --> 00:18:44.183
  • This is the same thing that happens in your life
  • 00:18:44.249 --> 00:18:45.551
  • That happens in your life with decisions that you make.
  • 00:18:45.617 --> 00:18:47.853
  • With decisions that you make. the spiritual man is saying,
  • 00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:49.421
  • The spiritual man is saying, "submit to god.
  • 00:18:49.488 --> 00:18:50.522
  • "submit to god. obey his word.
  • 00:18:50.622 --> 00:18:51.690
  • Obey his word. do what he commands."
  • 00:18:51.790 --> 00:18:52.925
  • Do what he commands." the flesh man is saying,
  • 00:18:52.991 --> 00:18:54.092
  • The flesh man is saying, "well, if you understood
  • 00:18:54.159 --> 00:18:55.861
  • "well, if you understood everything that
  • 00:18:55.928 --> 00:18:56.728
  • Everything that you've been through,
  • 00:18:56.828 --> 00:18:57.296
  • You've been through, you have an excuse why
  • 00:18:57.396 --> 00:18:58.363
  • You have an excuse why you can break this rule."
  • 00:18:58.430 --> 00:19:02.267
  • You can break this rule." and when you love
  • 00:19:02.334 --> 00:19:02.935
  • And when you love the lord your god
  • 00:19:03.001 --> 00:19:03.502
  • The lord your god with all of your soul,
  • 00:19:03.602 --> 00:19:04.670
  • With all of your soul, there's no debate.
  • 00:19:04.770 --> 00:19:07.573
  • There's no debate. you tell the flesh
  • 00:19:07.639 --> 00:19:08.874
  • You tell the flesh you're crucified.
  • 00:19:08.941 --> 00:19:11.443
  • You're crucified. this is why paul said,
  • 00:19:11.543 --> 00:19:12.344
  • This is why paul said, "i am crucified with christ.
  • 00:19:12.411 --> 00:19:14.379
  • "i am crucified with christ. i no longer live
  • 00:19:14.479 --> 00:19:15.647
  • I no longer live but it is the spirit
  • 00:19:15.714 --> 00:19:16.515
  • But it is the spirit of god that lives in me."
  • 00:19:16.615 --> 00:19:19.918
  • Of god that lives in me." now, here's the thing
  • 00:19:19.985 --> 00:19:20.519
  • Now, here's the thing about this crucifixion,
  • 00:19:20.586 --> 00:19:22.654
  • About this crucifixion, nobody does it for you.
  • 00:19:22.721 --> 00:19:25.991
  • Nobody does it for you. you have to crucify yourself.
  • 00:19:26.091 --> 00:19:29.528
  • You have to crucify yourself. that's why jesus said,
  • 00:19:29.595 --> 00:19:30.462
  • That's why jesus said, "if any man comes after me,
  • 00:19:30.529 --> 00:19:31.630
  • "if any man comes after me, let him lay down his life,
  • 00:19:31.730 --> 00:19:33.699
  • Let him lay down his life, take up his cross,
  • 00:19:33.765 --> 00:19:35.834
  • Take up his cross, and follow me."
  • 00:19:35.901 --> 00:19:37.769
  • And follow me." i know lots of people
  • 00:19:37.836 --> 00:19:38.637
  • I know lots of people that keep asking god,
  • 00:19:38.737 --> 00:19:40.138
  • That keep asking god, "crucify my flesh,

  • Crucify my flesh, crucify my flesh."
  • 00:19:42.507 --> 00:19:43.442
  • Crucify my flesh." hey, you are never going
  • 00:19:43.508 --> 00:19:45.777
  • Hey, you are never going to get somebody else
  • 00:19:45.844 --> 00:19:46.778
  • To get somebody else to crucify your flesh,
  • 00:19:46.878 --> 00:19:48.280
  • To crucify your flesh, it's your job to execute that.
  • 00:19:48.347 --> 00:19:50.315
  • [applause]
  • 00:19:51.617 --> 00:19:56.722
  • So, when you love the lord,
  • 00:19:57.222 --> 00:19:57.856
  • So, when you love the lord, your god,

  • With all of your soul, the man in the middle

  • The man in the middle always goes
  • 00:20:01.526 --> 00:20:02.261
  • Always goes with the holy spirit.
  • 00:20:02.327 --> 00:20:04.463
  • With the holy spirit. when you love the lord your god
  • 00:20:04.529 --> 00:20:05.564
  • When you love the lord your god with all of your soul,
  • 00:20:05.631 --> 00:20:06.798
  • With all of your soul, you know that man shall not
  • 00:20:06.898 --> 00:20:08.100
  • You know that man shall not live by bread alone
  • 00:20:08.166 --> 00:20:09.101
  • Live by bread alone but by every word the proceeds
  • 00:20:09.167 --> 00:20:10.302
  • But by every word the proceeds out of the mouth of god.
  • 00:20:10.402 --> 00:20:12.304
  • Out of the mouth of god. when you love the lord
  • 00:20:12.371 --> 00:20:12.971

  • Your god with all of your soul, you offer him a sacrifice
  • 00:20:14.706 --> 00:20:16.308
  • You offer him a sacrifice of praise with your whole heart,
  • 00:20:16.408 --> 00:20:18.777
  • Of praise with your whole heart, and you know that in his
  • 00:20:18.844 --> 00:20:19.778
  • And you know that in his presence is the fullness of joy.
  • 00:20:19.878 --> 00:20:22.614
  • Presence is the fullness of joy. the next account that
  • 00:20:22.681 --> 00:20:23.649
  • The next account that we're supposed to love

  • We're supposed to love the lord in is our mind.
  • 00:20:24.816 --> 00:20:27.085
  • The lord in is our mind. the mind is the battlefield
  • 00:20:27.152 --> 00:20:28.353
  • The mind is the battlefield of spiritual warfare.
  • 00:20:28.420 --> 00:20:30.422
  • Of spiritual warfare. in 1 corinthians,
  • 00:20:30.489 --> 00:20:32.090
  • In 1 corinthians, it tells us that our weapons
  • 00:20:32.157 --> 00:20:32.991
  • It tells us that our weapons are not carnal,
  • 00:20:33.091 --> 00:20:33.759
  • Are not carnal, but they're mighty
  • 00:20:33.825 --> 00:20:34.459
  • But they're mighty for the pulling down
  • 00:20:34.526 --> 00:20:35.093
  • For the pulling down of strongholds and everything
  • 00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:36.662
  • Of strongholds and everything that exalts itself against
  • 00:20:36.728 --> 00:20:38.497
  • That exalts itself against the knowledge of god.
  • 00:20:38.563 --> 00:20:42.134
  • The knowledge of god. and here in this battlefield
  • 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:44.436
  • And here in this battlefield of the mind,
  • 00:20:44.536 --> 00:20:45.237
  • Of the mind, what you have to understand
  • 00:20:45.337 --> 00:20:46.705
  • What you have to understand is that god wants you
  • 00:20:46.772 --> 00:20:48.106
  • Is that god wants you to have an open mind to what
  • 00:20:48.173 --> 00:20:49.841
  • To have an open mind to what his word promises,
  • 00:20:49.908 --> 00:20:50.876
  • His word promises, and the devil wants you
  • 00:20:50.976 --> 00:20:51.910
  • And the devil wants you to have a divided mind.
  • 00:20:51.977 --> 00:20:54.546
  • To have a divided mind. have you ever heard somebody
  • 00:20:54.646 --> 00:20:55.480
  • Have you ever heard somebody describe someone
  • 00:20:55.547 --> 00:20:56.381
  • Describe someone as close-minded?
  • 00:20:56.448 --> 00:20:58.650
  • As close-minded? what they're saying is
  • 00:20:58.717 --> 00:20:59.584
  • What they're saying is there's no space
  • 00:20:59.651 --> 00:21:00.886
  • There's no space for a new thought.
  • 00:21:00.952 --> 00:21:04.523
  • For a new thought. and many times,
  • 00:21:04.589 --> 00:21:05.324
  • And many times, god's kids get close-minded
  • 00:21:05.390 --> 00:21:07.926
  • God's kids get close-minded because they would rather cling
  • 00:21:07.993 --> 00:21:09.061
  • Because they would rather cling to what they've heard
  • 00:21:09.127 --> 00:21:10.262
  • To what they've heard than read what he said.
  • 00:21:10.362 --> 00:21:13.799
  • Than read what he said. and the devil is the one
  • 00:21:13.899 --> 00:21:14.733
  • And the devil is the one who's laughing the whole time
  • 00:21:14.833 --> 00:21:16.802
  • Who's laughing the whole time because he knows that
  • 00:21:16.868 --> 00:21:17.736
  • Because he knows that if he can get you
  • 00:21:17.803 --> 00:21:18.470
  • If he can get you to doubt god's word,
  • 00:21:18.570 --> 00:21:19.604
  • To doubt god's word, then he can keep that word
  • 00:21:19.705 --> 00:21:20.605
  • Then he can keep that word from being a blessing
  • 00:21:20.706 --> 00:21:21.473
  • From being a blessing in your life.
  • 00:21:21.540 --> 00:21:24.443
  • In your life. so whenever the devil tries
  • 00:21:24.543 --> 00:21:25.744
  • So whenever the devil tries to divide your mind,
  • 00:21:25.811 --> 00:21:27.279
  • To divide your mind, the bible says that you can go
  • 00:21:27.346 --> 00:21:28.814
  • The bible says that you can go into heavenly places
  • 00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:29.848
  • Into heavenly places and pull down
  • 00:21:29.915 --> 00:21:30.816
  • And pull down those strongholds.
  • 00:21:30.882 --> 00:21:33.585
  • Those strongholds. it's like ripping the dark
  • 00:21:33.652 --> 00:21:35.120
  • It's like ripping the dark curtains off of a window.
  • 00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:36.555
  • Curtains off of a window. the second you pull it down,
  • 00:21:36.621 --> 00:21:37.823
  • The second you pull it down, the light shines in.
  • 00:21:37.889 --> 00:21:41.293
  • The light shines in. when you love the lord your god
  • 00:21:41.360 --> 00:21:42.494
  • When you love the lord your god with all of your mind,
  • 00:21:42.594 --> 00:21:43.628
  • With all of your mind, what you read in his word,
  • 00:21:43.695 --> 00:21:44.996
  • What you read in his word, you believe to be true.
  • 00:21:45.063 --> 00:21:47.899
  • You believe to be true. i hear people who profess to be
  • 00:21:47.966 --> 00:21:49.501
  • I hear people who profess to be christians say all the time,
  • 00:21:49.601 --> 00:21:51.036
  • Christians say all the time, "well, i believe parts
  • 00:21:51.103 --> 00:21:52.137
  • "well, i believe parts of the bible."
  • 00:21:52.204 --> 00:21:52.838
  • Of the bible." it's either all true
  • 00:21:52.938 --> 00:21:54.306
  • It's either all true or none of it's true.

  • I say this is in closing. the fourth account is that you
  • 00:22:06.952 --> 00:22:09.121
  • The fourth account is that you love the lord
  • 00:22:09.221 --> 00:22:09.755
  • Love the lord with all of your strength.
  • 00:22:09.821 --> 00:22:12.991
  • With all of your strength. and your strength is
  • 00:22:13.091 --> 00:22:13.925
  • And your strength is a talent that god gave you.
  • 00:22:13.992 --> 00:22:17.929
  • A talent that god gave you. your strength is nothing
  • 00:22:17.996 --> 00:22:18.830
  • Your strength is nothing that you did to earn,
  • 00:22:18.930 --> 00:22:21.800
  • That you did to earn, it's just something that
  • 00:22:21.867 --> 00:22:23.235
  • It's just something that he decided to bless you with.
  • 00:22:23.301 --> 00:22:27.105
  • He decided to bless you with. and what you need to know is
  • 00:22:27.172 --> 00:22:28.073
  • And what you need to know is no matter what that strength is,
  • 00:22:28.140 --> 00:22:29.408
  • No matter what that strength is, he has a purpose for it.
  • 00:22:29.474 --> 00:22:32.577
  • He has a purpose for it. don't let other people
  • 00:22:32.677 --> 00:22:33.478
  • Don't let other people talk you out of it.
  • 00:22:33.545 --> 00:22:37.382
  • Talk you out of it. i've seen god do too much
  • 00:22:37.449 --> 00:22:38.984
  • I've seen god do too much with people who were
  • 00:22:39.084 --> 00:22:39.851
  • With people who were willing to say "yes,"
  • 00:22:39.918 --> 00:22:45.290
  • Willing to say "yes," even if in church we've
  • 00:22:45.357 --> 00:22:46.491
  • Even if in church we've decided the usable strengths
  • 00:22:46.558 --> 00:22:48.326
  • Decided the usable strengths versus the unusable strengths.
  • 00:22:48.427 --> 00:22:51.897
  • Versus the unusable strengths. the reason that
  • 00:22:51.963 --> 00:22:52.497
  • The reason that cornerstone church
  • 00:22:52.564 --> 00:22:53.165
  • Cornerstone church has the ministry that it has,
  • 00:22:53.265 --> 00:22:56.501
  • Has the ministry that it has, the impact that it has,

  • The impact that it has, not just here
  • 00:22:58.236 --> 00:22:58.837
  • Not just here but all over the world,
  • 00:22:58.937 --> 00:23:00.839
  • But all over the world, is because individuals
  • 00:23:00.906 --> 00:23:02.107
  • Is because individuals were willing to love the lord
  • 00:23:02.207 --> 00:23:03.275
  • Were willing to love the lord their god with all
  • 00:23:03.375 --> 00:23:04.176
