- Everything else falls into place,
- 00:03:53.160 --> 00:03:54.395
- Into place, which means that we have
- 00:03:54.461 --> 00:03:55.229
- Which means that we have to be a church that is filled
- 00:03:55.296 --> 00:03:56.830
- To be a church that is filled with faith and functioning
- 00:03:56.897 --> 00:03:58.832
- With faith and functioning in god's word.
- 00:03:58.899 --> 00:04:00.801
- In god's word. we cannot function the way
- 00:04:00.868 --> 00:04:02.403
- We cannot function the way the world wants us
- 00:04:02.469 --> 00:04:03.370
- The world wants us to function and be filled
- 00:04:03.437 --> 00:04:04.672
- To function and be filled with god's power.
- 00:04:04.738 --> 00:04:07.041
- With god's power. you cannot allow the world
- 00:04:07.107 --> 00:04:08.475
- You cannot allow the world to define the church
- 00:04:08.542 --> 00:04:09.576
- To define the church and expect the church
- 00:04:09.643 --> 00:04:10.744
- And expect the church to fulfill god's purpose.
- 00:04:10.811 --> 00:04:12.880
- To fulfill god's purpose. this is why the bible says,
- 00:04:12.946 --> 00:04:14.048
- This is why the bible says, "let god be true
- 00:04:14.114 --> 00:04:15.282
- "let god be true and every man a liar."
- 00:04:15.349 --> 00:04:18.852
- And every man a liar." if what a man says is
- 00:04:18.919 --> 00:04:19.953
- If what a man says is contrary to what god says,
- 00:04:20.020 --> 00:04:21.689
- Contrary to what god says, god's right and he's wrong.
- 00:04:21.755 --> 00:04:25.426
- God's right and he's wrong. why?
- 00:04:25.492 --> 00:04:25.959
- Why? because the world uses its
- 00:04:26.026 --> 00:04:26.994
- Because the world uses its feelings to create definitions.
- 00:04:27.061 --> 00:04:29.596
- Feelings to create definitions. they may use familiar words,
- 00:04:29.663 --> 00:04:31.598
- They may use familiar words, but if their feelings change,
- 00:04:31.665 --> 00:04:32.966
- But if their feelings change, they'll change the definition
- 00:04:33.033 --> 00:04:34.335
- They'll change the definition to fit how they feel.
- 00:04:34.401 --> 00:04:37.504
- To fit how they feel. jeremiah 17:9,
- 00:04:37.571 --> 00:04:39.273
- Jeremiah 17:9, it says that "the heart
- 00:04:39.340 --> 00:04:40.107
- It says that "the heart is deceitful above all things
- 00:04:40.174 --> 00:04:41.675
- Is deceitful above all things and is desperately wicked,
- 00:04:41.742 --> 00:04:42.810
- And is desperately wicked, who can know it?"
- 00:04:42.876 --> 00:04:44.578
- Who can know it?" that verse is basically saying,
- 00:04:44.645 --> 00:04:45.879
- That verse is basically saying, "your feelings will
- 00:04:45.946 --> 00:04:46.780
- "your feelings will lie to you."
- 00:04:46.847 --> 00:04:49.450
- Lie to you." romans 8:7,
- 00:04:49.516 --> 00:04:50.551
- Romans 8:7, "the carnal mind is
- 00:04:50.617 --> 00:04:51.518
- "the carnal mind is at enmity with god."
- 00:04:51.585 --> 00:04:52.619
- At enmity with god." that means that
- 00:04:52.686 --> 00:04:53.220
- That means that your natural way of thinking
- 00:04:53.287 --> 00:04:54.688
- Your natural way of thinking is at war with god's word
- 00:04:54.755 --> 00:04:56.590
- Is at war with god's word and the holy spirit.
- 00:04:56.657 --> 00:04:57.825
- Why would the righteous
- 00:04:59.093 --> 00:05:00.260
- Why would the righteous ask the wicked,
- 00:05:00.327 --> 00:05:01.362
- Ask the wicked, "how do you want us
- 00:05:01.428 --> 00:05:02.663
- "how do you want us to behave so you're more
- 00:05:02.730 --> 00:05:03.564
- To behave so you're more comfortable here?"
- 00:05:03.630 --> 00:05:09.002
- Comfortable here?" the world cannot define
- 00:05:09.069 --> 00:05:10.237
- The world cannot define the church;
- 00:05:10.304 --> 00:05:11.004
- The church; god has already done that.
- 00:05:11.071 --> 00:05:13.674
- God has already done that. in timothy 3:15 he said,
- 00:05:13.741 --> 00:05:15.776
- In timothy 3:15 he said, "you are the pillar of truth."
- 00:05:15.843 --> 00:05:17.111
- "you are the pillar of truth." that is the foundation
- 00:05:17.177 --> 00:05:18.545
- That is the foundation of everything.
- 00:05:18.612 --> 00:05:20.280
- Of everything. we cannot be what they feel.
- 00:05:20.347 --> 00:05:21.949
- We cannot be what they feel. we have to be what god
- 00:05:22.015 --> 00:05:23.283
- We have to be what god created us to be.
- 00:05:23.350 --> 00:05:24.651
- Created us to be. we cannot say what
- 00:05:24.718 --> 00:05:25.652
- We cannot say what makes others comfortable.
- 00:05:25.719 --> 00:05:26.920
- Makes others comfortable. we have to speak
- 00:05:26.987 --> 00:05:27.821
- We have to speak the truth in love.
- 00:05:27.888 --> 00:05:28.956
- The truth in love. we cannot do what the world
- 00:05:29.022 --> 00:05:30.357
- We cannot do what the world wants and expect god's power
- 00:05:30.424 --> 00:05:32.393
- Wants and expect god's power and god's presence
- 00:05:32.459 --> 00:05:33.327
- And god's presence in this place.
- 00:05:33.394 --> 00:05:35.462
- In this place. this is why paul wrote
- 00:05:35.529 --> 00:05:36.497
- This is why paul wrote in ephesians 1:19,
- 00:05:36.563 --> 00:05:38.132
- In ephesians 1:19, "what is the exceeding
- 00:05:38.198 --> 00:05:39.867
- "what is the exceeding greatness of his power
- 00:05:39.933 --> 00:05:41.268
- Greatness of his power towards us?
- 00:05:41.335 --> 00:05:42.836
- Towards us? "it's according to the working
- 00:05:42.903 --> 00:05:44.338
- "it's according to the working of his mighty power."
- 00:05:44.405 --> 00:05:45.672
- Of his mighty power." how powerful is it?
- 00:05:45.739 --> 00:05:46.907
- How powerful is it? it's so powerful that three
- 00:05:46.974 --> 00:05:48.842
- It's so powerful that three days after christ died,
- 00:05:48.909 --> 00:05:51.078
- Days after christ died, up from the grave he arose
- 00:05:51.145 --> 00:05:52.780
- Up from the grave he arose with the keys to death
- 00:05:52.846 --> 00:05:54.381
- With the keys to death and hell in his hand.
- 00:05:54.448 --> 00:05:56.083
- And hell in his hand. and that same
- 00:05:56.150 --> 00:05:57.084
- And that same power lives in you.
- 00:05:57.151 --> 00:05:58.752
- Power lives in you. it's so powerful that he has
- 00:05:58.819 --> 00:06:01.088
- It's so powerful that he has now received a name
- 00:06:01.155 --> 00:06:03.157
- Now received a name that is above every name,
- 00:06:03.223 --> 00:06:04.825
- That is above every name, and the name of jesus
- 00:06:04.892 --> 00:06:06.293
- And the name of jesus will conquer powers
- 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:07.561
- Will conquer powers and principalities.
- 00:06:07.628 --> 00:06:08.695
- And principalities. the name of jesus is over
- 00:06:08.762 --> 00:06:10.330
- The name of jesus is over every type of dominion,
- 00:06:10.397 --> 00:06:11.932
- Every type of dominion, and kingdom, and authority.
- 00:06:11.999 --> 00:06:13.667
- And kingdom, and authority. the name of jesus has
- 00:06:13.734 --> 00:06:15.335
- The name of jesus has the power to go over
- 00:06:15.402 --> 00:06:17.204
- The power to go over every nation.
- 00:06:17.271 --> 00:06:18.405
- Every nation. and the bible says
- 00:06:18.472 --> 00:06:19.573
- And the bible says in ephesians 1,
- 00:06:19.640 --> 00:06:21.008
- In ephesians 1, not only in this age,
- 00:06:21.074 --> 00:06:23.243
- Not only in this age, but in the age to come.
- 00:06:23.310 --> 00:06:24.845
- But in the age to come. what does that mean, church?
- 00:06:24.912 --> 00:06:26.213
- What does that mean, church? there's no expiration
- 00:06:26.280 --> 00:06:28.081
- There's no expiration date on god's power.
- 00:06:28.148 --> 00:06:30.250
- Date on god's power. he was powerful when he started.
- 00:06:30.317 --> 00:06:32.319
- He was powerful when he started. he's powerful now.
- 00:06:32.386 --> 00:06:34.021
- He's powerful now. he's gonna be powerful
- 00:06:34.087 --> 00:06:35.355
- He's gonna be powerful forevermore,
- 00:06:35.422 --> 00:06:36.256
- Forevermore, because he is the same
- 00:06:36.323 --> 00:06:37.691
- Because he is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
- 00:06:37.758 --> 00:06:40.127
- Yesterday, today, and forever. give the lord
- 00:06:40.194 --> 00:06:41.028
- Give the lord a hand clap of praise.
- 00:06:41.094 --> 00:06:42.129
- [applause]
- 00:06:42.629 --> 00:06:45.532
- So, we have to be a church
- 00:06:49.002 --> 00:06:50.571
- So, we have to be a church full of faith that
- 00:06:50.637 --> 00:06:53.574
- Full of faith that is functioning.
- 00:06:53.640 --> 00:06:57.945
- Is functioning. how do we function?
- 00:06:58.011 --> 00:07:00.948
- How do we function? how do we share this exceedingly
- 00:07:01.014 --> 00:07:02.883
- How do we share this exceedingly great power that paul
- 00:07:02.950 --> 00:07:04.251
- Great power that paul is speaking of?
- 00:07:04.318 --> 00:07:06.787
- Is speaking of? and the answer comes
- 00:07:06.854 --> 00:07:08.088
- And the answer comes in ephesians 1:17-18.
- 00:07:08.155 --> 00:07:12.526
- In ephesians 1:17-18. in ephesians 1:17
- 00:07:12.593 --> 00:07:14.194
- In ephesians 1:17 paul says to the church that,
- 00:07:14.261 --> 00:07:15.963
- Paul says to the church that, "the god of our lord
- 00:07:16.029 --> 00:07:17.130
- "the god of our lord jesus christ,
- 00:07:17.197 --> 00:07:18.198
- Jesus christ, the father of glory,
- 00:07:18.265 --> 00:07:19.833
- The father of glory, may give you the spirit
- 00:07:19.900 --> 00:07:21.268
- May give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation."
- 00:07:21.335 --> 00:07:23.437
- Of wisdom and revelation." say, "revelation."
- 00:07:23.504 --> 00:07:25.472
- Say, "revelation." "in the knowledge
- 00:07:25.539 --> 00:07:26.540
- "in the knowledge of him,
- 00:07:26.607 --> 00:07:27.975
- Of him, the eyes of your understanding
- 00:07:28.041 --> 00:07:30.344
- The eyes of your understanding being enlightened."
- 00:07:30.410 --> 00:07:32.045
- Being enlightened." say, "enlightened."
- 00:07:32.112 --> 00:07:35.182
- Say, "enlightened." there it is.
- 00:07:35.249 --> 00:07:36.917
- There it is. we use our faith to engage
- 00:07:36.984 --> 00:07:40.921
- We use our faith to engage god's power,
- 00:07:40.988 --> 00:07:41.989
- God's power, and we share it with
- 00:07:42.055 --> 00:07:43.223
- And we share it with the world through revelation
- 00:07:43.290 --> 00:07:45.459
- The world through revelation and illumination.
- 00:07:45.526 --> 00:07:46.827
- Revelation defined is the act
- 00:07:48.695 --> 00:07:51.265
- Revelation defined is the act of communicating divine truth.
- 00:07:51.331 --> 00:07:54.601
- Of communicating divine truth. if i tell you a divine truth,
- 00:07:54.668 --> 00:07:57.037
- If i tell you a divine truth, i have revealed what god has
- 00:07:57.104 --> 00:07:59.072
- I have revealed what god has already shown us.
- 00:07:59.139 --> 00:08:01.408
- Already shown us. it's not that i discovered it.
- 00:08:01.475 --> 00:08:04.278
- It's not that i discovered it. most people feel like
- 00:08:04.344 --> 00:08:05.245
- Most people feel like whenever they say,
- 00:08:05.312 --> 00:08:05.812
- Whenever they say, "i've got a revelation,"
- 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:06.713
- "i've got a revelation," they sound,
- 00:08:06.780 --> 00:08:07.180
- They sound, really important.
- 00:08:07.247 --> 00:08:07.948
- Really important. no.
- 00:08:08.015 --> 00:08:08.582
- No. when you have a revelation,
- 00:08:08.649 --> 00:08:09.616
- When you have a revelation, it means you read god's word.
- 00:08:09.683 --> 00:08:10.918
- [applause]
- 00:08:12.953 --> 00:08:17.824
- Which means that every
- 00:08:18.258 --> 00:08:19.993
- Which means that every person who is saying they
- 00:08:20.060 --> 00:08:21.461
- Person who is saying they have a revelation is
- 00:08:21.528 --> 00:08:22.596
- Have a revelation is not telling the truth.
- 00:08:22.663 --> 00:08:24.631
- Not telling the truth. because if what they reveal
- 00:08:24.698 --> 00:08:26.266
- Because if what they reveal does not align with god's word,
- 00:08:26.333 --> 00:08:28.368
- Does not align with god's word, it's not revelation, it's a lie.
- 00:08:28.435 --> 00:08:32.272
- It's not revelation, it's a lie. if it's not god's word,
- 00:08:32.339 --> 00:08:33.540
- If it's not god's word, it's not god's way.
- 00:08:33.607 --> 00:08:34.875
- It's not god's way. if it's not god's way,
- 00:08:34.942 --> 00:08:36.176
- If it's not god's way, it's the wrong way.
- 00:08:36.243 --> 00:08:37.344
- It's the wrong way. if it's the wrong way,
- 00:08:37.411 --> 00:08:38.512
- If it's the wrong way, it's not revelation,
- 00:08:38.579 --> 00:08:39.780
- It's not revelation, it's deception.
- 00:08:39.846 --> 00:08:40.781
- It's deception. if it comes from deception,
- 00:08:40.847 --> 00:08:42.115
- If it comes from deception, it's from the devil
- 00:08:42.182 --> 00:08:43.150
- It's from the devil who is the father of lies
- 00:08:43.216 --> 00:08:44.651
- Who is the father of lies which the bible calls
- 00:08:44.718 --> 00:08:45.686
- Which the bible calls a doctrine of demons.
- 00:08:45.752 --> 00:08:48.755
- A doctrine of demons. now, if you need me
- 00:08:48.822 --> 00:08:49.423
- Now, if you need me to repeat that,
- 00:08:49.489 --> 00:08:50.424
- To repeat that, go to jhm.org and watch
- 00:08:50.490 --> 00:08:52.025
- Go to jhm.org and watch this over again tomorrow.
- 00:08:52.092 --> 00:08:53.193
- [laughter]
- 00:08:53.660 --> 00:08:57.164
- The way it works is
- 00:08:57.898 --> 00:08:58.899
- The way it works is when a man does man work
- 00:08:58.966 --> 00:09:01.301
- When a man does man work in god's name
- 00:09:01.368 --> 00:09:02.502
- In god's name it's deception,
- 00:09:02.569 --> 00:09:03.337
- It's deception, not revelation.
- 00:09:03.403 --> 00:09:05.939
- Not revelation. but when a man does god's work
- 00:09:06.006 --> 00:09:07.708
- But when a man does god's work by god's grace,
- 00:09:07.774 --> 00:09:09.209
- By god's grace, it's revelation.
- 00:09:09.276 --> 00:09:11.745
- It's revelation. so, where does
- 00:09:11.812 --> 00:09:12.312
- So, where does revelation come from?
- 00:09:12.379 --> 00:09:13.146
- Revelation come from? revelation comes
- 00:09:13.213 --> 00:09:14.247
- Revelation comes from illumination.
- 00:09:14.314 --> 00:09:17.050
- From illumination. illumination is exactly
- 00:09:17.117 --> 00:09:19.052
- Illumination is exactly what it sounds like,
- 00:09:19.119 --> 00:09:20.520
- What it sounds like, shining a light on something
- 00:09:20.587 --> 00:09:22.189
- Shining a light on something so that it might be revealed.
- 00:09:22.255 --> 00:09:24.458
- So that it might be revealed. have you ever gone for a walk
- 00:09:24.524 --> 00:09:25.659
- Have you ever gone for a walk in the woods at night?
- 00:09:25.726 --> 00:09:27.628
- In the woods at night? how many of you know how
- 00:09:27.694 --> 00:09:28.328
- How many of you know how helpful a flashlight is?
- 00:09:28.395 --> 00:09:31.665
- Helpful a flashlight is? why?
- 00:09:31.732 --> 00:09:32.366
- Why? because it illuminates
- 00:09:32.432 --> 00:09:33.967
- Because it illuminates what you can't see.
- 00:09:34.034 --> 00:09:36.503
- What you can't see. you get to see the rock
- 00:09:36.570 --> 00:09:37.904
- You get to see the rock that you're about to kick.
- 00:09:37.971 --> 00:09:38.972
- That you're about to kick. you get to see the branch
- 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:40.207
- You get to see the branch that's gonna hit you
- 00:09:40.273 --> 00:09:41.008
- That's gonna hit you in the face.
- 00:09:41.074 --> 00:09:41.608
- In the face. you get to see
- 00:09:41.675 --> 00:09:42.743
- You get to see the massive squirrel.
- 00:09:42.809 --> 00:09:44.911
- [laughter]
- 00:09:45.846 --> 00:09:47.981
- That you thought
- 00:09:48.348 --> 00:09:48.849
- That you thought was a grizzly bear.
- 00:09:48.915 --> 00:09:49.683
- [laughter]
- 00:09:50.083 --> 00:09:52.519
- With just a little
- 00:09:53.186 --> 00:09:53.854
- With just a little bit of illumination,
- 00:09:53.920 --> 00:09:55.756
- Bit of illumination, you get revelation.
- 00:09:55.822 --> 00:09:58.825
- You get revelation. you see how that works?
- 00:09:58.892 --> 00:10:01.061
- You see how that works? what did the bible say?
- 00:10:01.128 --> 00:10:02.929
- What did the bible say? psalms 119,
- 00:10:02.996 --> 00:10:04.164
- Psalms 119, "your word is a lamp
- 00:10:04.231 --> 00:10:05.932
- "your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light
- 00:10:05.999 --> 00:10:08.301
- Unto my feet and a light unto my path."
- 00:10:08.368 --> 00:10:10.003
- Unto my path." how do you get illumination?
- 00:10:10.070 --> 00:10:11.571
- How do you get illumination? you pick up god's word
- 00:10:11.638 --> 00:10:13.006
- You pick up god's word and you read it,
- 00:10:13.073 --> 00:10:14.574
- And you read it, and every time you do,
- 00:10:14.641 --> 00:10:15.842
- And every time you do, his holy spirit will shine
- 00:10:15.909 --> 00:10:17.477
- His holy spirit will shine the light for you on what
- 00:10:17.544 --> 00:10:19.112
- The light for you on what you need to understand.
- 00:10:19.179 --> 00:10:20.380
- You need to understand. that's why proverbs 6:23 says,
- 00:10:20.447 --> 00:10:22.683
- That's why proverbs 6:23 says, "the commandment is a lamp
- 00:10:22.749 --> 00:10:24.184
- "the commandment is a lamp and the law is a light."
- 00:10:24.251 --> 00:10:25.786
- And the law is a light." this is what paul
- 00:10:25.852 --> 00:10:26.653
- This is what paul is talking about
- 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:27.621
- Is talking about in ephesians 1:17,
- 00:10:27.688 --> 00:10:29.623
- In ephesians 1:17, those who are enlightened,
- 00:10:29.690 --> 00:10:31.258
- Those who are enlightened, those who are
- 00:10:31.324 --> 00:10:31.992
- Those who are reading the word,
- 00:10:32.059 --> 00:10:33.293
- Reading the word, have a flashlight that
- 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:34.695
- Have a flashlight that they can walk through
- 00:10:34.761 --> 00:10:36.063
- They can walk through in this dark world,
- 00:10:36.129 --> 00:10:37.097
- In this dark world, and they can
- 00:10:37.164 --> 00:10:37.698
- And they can reveal to others,
- 00:10:37.764 --> 00:10:38.732
- Reveal to others, "hey, you don't need
- 00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:39.866
- "hey, you don't need to go there.
- 00:10:39.933 --> 00:10:40.434
- To go there. hey, you need to work on this.
- 00:10:40.500 --> 00:10:41.802
- Hey, you need to work on this. hey, this is what
- 00:10:41.868 --> 00:10:42.836
- Hey, this is what the bible says."

- 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:40.467
- He formed it, he filled it,
- 00:15:40.533 --> 00:15:41.968
- He filled it, and then it functioned.
- 00:15:42.035 --> 00:15:43.970
- And then it functioned. in ephesians 1:23,
- 00:15:44.037 --> 00:15:46.006
- In ephesians 1:23, it says that we are his body.
- 00:15:46.072 --> 00:15:49.409
- It says that we are his body. if we're gonna
- 00:15:49.476 --> 00:15:49.876
- If we're gonna properly function,
- 00:15:49.943 --> 00:15:51.544
- Properly function, we've got to first
- 00:15:51.611 --> 00:15:52.545
- We've got to first be formed and then filled.
- 00:15:52.612 --> 00:15:56.049
- Be formed and then filled. now, in genesis 2,
- 00:15:56.116 --> 00:15:57.584
- Now, in genesis 2, when it says that god formed
- 00:15:57.650 --> 00:15:59.619
- When it says that god formed adam of the dust of the ground,
- 00:15:59.686 --> 00:16:01.254
- Adam of the dust of the ground, one, it's unique from everything
- 00:16:01.321 --> 00:16:03.590
- One, it's unique from everything else that god created.
- 00:16:03.656 --> 00:16:05.658
- Else that god created. everything that had been created
- 00:16:05.725 --> 00:16:07.027
- Everything that had been created up until this time was created
- 00:16:07.093 --> 00:16:08.828
- Up until this time was created simply by the spoken word
- 00:16:08.895 --> 00:16:10.230
- Simply by the spoken word of god.
- 00:16:10.296 --> 00:16:12.098
- Of god. the bible says,
- 00:16:12.165 --> 00:16:12.732
- The bible says, "and god said,
- 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:14.434
- "and god said, and god said,
- 00:16:14.501 --> 00:16:15.802
- And god said, and god said."
- 00:16:15.869 --> 00:16:17.337
- And god said." and whatever he said, it was.
- 00:16:17.404 --> 00:16:20.006
- And whatever he said, it was. but when it came time
- 00:16:20.073 --> 00:16:21.107
- But when it came time for him to create mankind,
- 00:16:21.174 --> 00:16:23.109
- For him to create mankind, he didn't speak
- 00:16:23.176 --> 00:16:24.077
- He didn't speak to the dirt,
- 00:16:24.144 --> 00:16:24.911
- To the dirt, he took his hands
- 00:16:24.978 --> 00:16:26.346
- He took his hands and he formed,
- 00:16:26.413 --> 00:16:27.347
- And he formed, and he fashioned the dirt.
- 00:16:27.414 --> 00:16:29.115
- And then once he formed it,
- 00:16:30.450 --> 00:16:31.684
- And then once he formed it, he filled it.
- 00:16:31.751 --> 00:16:33.887
- He filled it. because the bible says that
- 00:16:33.953 --> 00:16:35.055
- Because the bible says that he breathed into his nostrils
- 00:16:35.121 --> 00:16:37.524
- He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.
- 00:16:37.590 --> 00:16:39.626
- The breath of life. he breathed into his nostrils
- 00:16:39.692 --> 00:16:41.895
- He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.
- 00:16:41.961 --> 00:16:42.629
- The breath of life. once god made adam look
- 00:16:42.695 --> 00:16:44.164
- Once god made adam look just right,
- 00:16:44.230 --> 00:16:44.964
- Just right, he didn't give adam
- 00:16:45.031 --> 00:16:46.599
- He didn't give adam a motor so he could run,
- 00:16:46.666 --> 00:16:47.567
- A motor so he could run, and he didn't give him
- 00:16:47.634 --> 00:16:48.401
- And he didn't give him a microchip so he could
- 00:16:48.468 --> 00:16:49.369
- A microchip so he could get a download.
- 00:16:49.436 --> 00:16:50.470
- Get a download. god gave him breath.
- 00:16:50.537 --> 00:16:52.539
- God gave him breath. he breathed into his nostrils
- 00:16:52.605 --> 00:16:54.441
- He breathed into his nostrils the same creative power
- 00:16:54.507 --> 00:16:56.409
- The same creative power that spoke the heavens
- 00:16:56.476 --> 00:16:57.277
- That spoke the heavens and earth into existence.
- 00:16:57.343 --> 00:16:58.845
- And earth into existence. he breathed into his nostrils
- 00:16:58.912 --> 00:17:00.647
- He breathed into his nostrils the same force that split
- 00:17:00.713 --> 00:17:02.549
- The same force that split cedars in lebanon
- 00:17:02.615 --> 00:17:03.750
- Cedars in lebanon and made the red sea roll
- 00:17:03.817 --> 00:17:05.185
- And made the red sea roll back left and right.
- 00:17:05.251 --> 00:17:06.619
- Back left and right. he breathed into his body
- 00:17:06.686 --> 00:17:08.521
- He breathed into his body the same prophetic power
- 00:17:08.588 --> 00:17:10.423
- The same prophetic power that caused the valley
- 00:17:10.490 --> 00:17:11.524
- That caused the valley of dry bones to stand up
- 00:17:11.591 --> 00:17:13.660
- Of dry bones to stand up as an exceedingly great army
- 00:17:13.726 --> 00:17:15.562
- As an exceedingly great army and he filled it with his
- 00:17:15.628 --> 00:17:16.663
- And he filled it with his power and with his might.
- 00:17:16.729 --> 00:17:18.531
- Power and with his might. this is why the bible says,
- 00:17:18.598 --> 00:17:20.166
- This is why the bible says, let everything that has breath
- 00:17:20.233 --> 00:17:23.403
- Let everything that has breath praise the lord,
- 00:17:23.470 --> 00:17:24.437
- Praise the lord, because the same power
- 00:17:24.504 --> 00:17:25.839
- Because the same power that went into adam
- 00:17:25.905 --> 00:17:27.140
- That went into adam is the same breath that god
- 00:17:27.207 --> 00:17:29.042
- Is the same breath that god breathed into you when
- 00:17:29.109 --> 00:17:30.443
- Breathed into you when he brought you to life
- 00:17:30.510 --> 00:17:31.678
- He brought you to life on this earth.
- 00:17:31.744 --> 00:17:32.378
- [applause]
- 00:17:32.779 --> 00:17:36.349
- And then it says
- 00:17:36.983 --> 00:17:37.517
- And then it says and man became --
- 00:17:37.584 --> 00:17:40.520
- And man became -- man began to function.
- 00:17:40.587 --> 00:17:44.591
- Man began to function. god formed it,
- 00:17:44.657 --> 00:17:46.326
- God formed it, god filled it,
- 00:17:46.392 --> 00:17:48.161
- God filled it, and it functioned.
- 00:17:48.228 --> 00:17:50.997
- And it functioned. so, how was the church,
- 00:17:51.064 --> 00:17:52.265
- So, how was the church, the body of christ, built?
- 00:17:52.332 --> 00:17:55.301
- The body of christ, built? how was this manifold wisdom
- 00:17:55.368 --> 00:17:57.203
- How was this manifold wisdom of god put together?
- 00:17:57.270 --> 00:17:59.739
- Of god put together? first, he gathered it just
- 00:17:59.806 --> 00:18:01.975

- From every nation, from every place.
- 00:18:08.414 --> 00:18:09.816
- From every place. he gathered us
- 00:18:09.883 --> 00:18:10.650
- He gathered us from the fragments
- 00:18:10.717 --> 00:18:11.584

- That sin and satan had left, and he made us one
- 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:15.388

- "and when the day of pentecost had fully come,
- 00:19:14.881 --> 00:19:15.949
- Had fully come, they were all in one accord.
- 00:19:16.015 --> 00:19:18.251
- They were all in one accord. they were all in one place."
- 00:19:18.318 --> 00:19:20.153
- They were all in one place." they were formed up.
- 00:19:20.220 --> 00:19:21.354
- They were formed up. somebody, say, "formed up."
- 00:19:21.421 --> 00:19:23.623
- Somebody, say, "formed up." but as they were formed up,
- 00:19:23.690 --> 00:19:24.891
- But as they were formed up, they were about
- 00:19:24.958 --> 00:19:25.525
- They were about to get filled up,
- 00:19:25.592 --> 00:19:26.559
- To get filled up, because the bible says,
- 00:19:26.626 --> 00:19:27.527
- Because the bible says, "suddenly, there came
- 00:19:27.594 --> 00:19:28.628
- "suddenly, there came a sound from heaven
- 00:19:28.695 --> 00:19:29.829
- A sound from heaven as a mighty rushing wind."
- 00:19:29.896 --> 00:19:31.864
- As a mighty rushing wind." the same breath that god
- 00:19:31.931 --> 00:19:33.266
- The same breath that god breathed into adam is
- 00:19:33.333 --> 00:19:35.001
- Breathed into adam is the same wind that blew
- 00:19:35.068 --> 00:19:36.202
- The same wind that blew across the upper room,
- 00:19:36.269 --> 00:19:37.570
- Across the upper room, and they were all filled,
- 00:19:37.637 --> 00:19:40.139
- And they were all filled, they were all filled,
- 00:19:40.206 --> 00:19:41.975
- They were all filled, with the holy spirit.
- 00:19:42.041 --> 00:19:43.142
- With the holy spirit. once they were filled,
- 00:19:43.209 --> 00:19:44.444
- Once they were filled, what did they do?
- 00:19:44.510 --> 00:19:45.612
- What did they do? they began to function.
- 00:19:45.678 --> 00:19:47.113
- They began to function. just like adam was filled
- 00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:48.915
- Just like adam was filled with breath and became
- 00:19:48.982 --> 00:19:49.949
- With breath and became a living being,
- 00:19:50.016 --> 00:19:50.817
- A living being, the church was filled
- 00:19:50.883 --> 00:19:51.784
- The church was filled with the holy spirit,
- 00:19:51.851 --> 00:19:52.885
- With the holy spirit, and they began to function.
- 00:19:52.952 --> 00:19:54.520
- And they began to function. how did they function?
- 00:19:54.587 --> 00:19:55.688
- How did they function? they went out into the street
- 00:19:55.755 --> 00:19:57.457
- They went out into the street where the bible says they were
- 00:19:57.523 --> 00:19:58.658
- Where the bible says they were devout men in jerusalem that
- 00:19:58.725 --> 00:20:00.994
- Devout men in jerusalem that came from all over the world.
- 00:20:01.060 --> 00:20:03.129
- Came from all over the world. and in verse 6 they said,
- 00:20:03.196 --> 00:20:04.530
- And in verse 6 they said, "when the men heard
- 00:20:04.597 --> 00:20:05.431
- "when the men heard this noise they were confused."
- 00:20:05.498 --> 00:20:07.066
- This noise they were confused." and the reason they
- 00:20:07.133 --> 00:20:07.800
- And the reason they were confused is because
- 00:20:07.867 --> 00:20:08.935
- Were confused is because these 120 people were
- 00:20:09.002 --> 00:20:10.803

- Language that was represented in the street.
- 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:15.208
- In the street. all of these devout men said,
- 00:20:15.275 --> 00:20:17.310
- All of these devout men said, "i know that he's not

- But i hear him speaking in the language that i know."
- 00:20:21.547 --> 00:20:23.349
- In the language that i know." and then they were asked,
- 00:20:23.416 --> 00:20:24.617
- And then they were asked, "what is it that
- 00:20:24.684 --> 00:20:25.351
- "what is it that they're speaking?
- 00:20:25.418 --> 00:20:28.087
- They're speaking? what are they saying?"
- 00:20:28.154 --> 00:20:31.891
- What are they saying?" verse 11 says,
- 00:20:31.958 --> 00:20:32.759
- Verse 11 says, "they're speaking
- 00:20:32.825 --> 00:20:34.827
- "they're speaking of the wonderful works of god."
- 00:20:34.894 --> 00:20:38.364
- [applause]
- 00:20:38.998 --> 00:20:43.803
- They're speaking
- 00:20:44.270 --> 00:20:45.838

- Of the wonderful works of god. they're talking about
- 00:20:49.976 --> 00:20:51.277
- They're talking about one who was born of a virgin,
- 00:20:51.344 --> 00:20:53.579
- One who was born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life,
