>> joseph prince: being under law and grace is a matter
00:01:04.850 --> 00:01:05.751
Law and grace is a matter of life and death.
00:01:05.817 --> 00:01:06.818
Being strong.
00:01:08.887 --> 00:01:10.489
Being strong. many years ago, the lord asked
00:01:10.556 --> 00:01:11.990
Being strong. many years ago, the lord asked me a question about the
00:01:12.057 --> 00:01:14.560
Many years ago, the lord asked me a question about the centurion who had great faith.
00:01:14.626 --> 00:01:15.961
Me a question about the centurion who had great faith. he wasn't a jew, all right?
00:01:16.028 --> 00:01:17.763
Centurion who had great faith. he wasn't a jew, all right? and he was a centurion,
00:01:17.829 --> 00:01:19.231
He wasn't a jew, all right? and he was a centurion, roman centurion.
00:01:19.298 --> 00:01:20.399
And he was a centurion, roman centurion. and yet jesus said of him,
00:01:20.465 --> 00:01:21.833
Roman centurion. and yet jesus said of him, "truly, i have not found
00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:23.735
And yet jesus said of him, "truly, i have not found so great faith."
00:01:23.802 --> 00:01:25.204
"truly, i have not found so great faith." oh, i love that.
00:01:25.270 --> 00:01:26.271
So great faith." oh, i love that. i love for the lord to say
00:01:26.338 --> 00:01:27.573
Oh, i love that. i love for the lord to say that of me.
00:01:27.639 --> 00:01:28.407
I love for the lord to say that of me. how about you?
00:01:28.473 --> 00:01:29.675
That of me. how about you? jesus said of the roman
00:01:29.741 --> 00:01:31.143
How about you? jesus said of the roman centurion, "truly, i have not
00:01:31.210 --> 00:01:32.544
Jesus said of the roman centurion, "truly, i have not found so great faith!
00:01:32.611 --> 00:01:34.313
Centurion, "truly, i have not found so great faith! no, not in israel!"
00:01:34.379 --> 00:01:36.848
Found so great faith! no, not in israel!" wow, all israel combined,
00:01:36.915 --> 00:01:39.284
No, not in israel!" wow, all israel combined, no one had so great faith
00:01:39.351 --> 00:01:40.819
Wow, all israel combined, no one had so great faith like the roman centurion.
00:01:40.886 --> 00:01:42.454
No one had so great faith like the roman centurion. so, i was so hungry
00:01:42.521 --> 00:01:43.722
Like the roman centurion. so, i was so hungry and i was salivating spiritually
00:01:43.789 --> 00:01:45.691
So, i was so hungry and i was salivating spiritually to have this great faith,
00:01:45.757 --> 00:01:47.259
And i was salivating spiritually to have this great faith, you know?
00:01:47.326 --> 00:01:48.093
To have this great faith, you know? and then the lord told me,
00:01:48.160 --> 00:01:49.995
You know? and then the lord told me, "who was the other woman
00:01:50.062 --> 00:01:51.530
And then the lord told me, "who was the other woman who had great faith?
00:01:51.597 --> 00:01:52.698
"who was the other woman who had great faith? who was the other person?"
00:01:52.764 --> 00:01:53.465
Who had great faith? who was the other person?" it was a woman.
00:01:53.532 --> 00:01:54.366
Who was the other person?" it was a woman. we know it's a woman.
00:01:54.433 --> 00:01:55.367
It was a woman. we know it's a woman. it was the canaanite woman whose
00:01:55.434 --> 00:01:57.035
We know it's a woman. it was the canaanite woman whose daughter was demon possessed.
00:01:57.102 --> 00:01:58.870
It was the canaanite woman whose daughter was demon possessed. and finally she said, "lord,
00:01:58.937 --> 00:02:00.038
Daughter was demon possessed. and finally she said, "lord, even the puppies under the table
00:02:00.105 --> 00:02:02.674
And finally she said, "lord, even the puppies under the table eat the crumbs
00:02:02.741 --> 00:02:03.508
Even the puppies under the table eat the crumbs from the master's table."
00:02:03.575 --> 00:02:05.410
Eat the crumbs from the master's table." the lord says, "oh woman,
00:02:05.477 --> 00:02:06.411
From the master's table." the lord says, "oh woman, great is your faith."
00:02:06.478 --> 00:02:07.613
The lord says, "oh woman, great is your faith." and the devil was gone out
00:02:07.679 --> 00:02:08.680
Great is your faith." and the devil was gone out of her daughter, okay?
00:02:08.747 --> 00:02:10.749
And the devil was gone out of her daughter, okay? so, two greek words i use:
00:02:10.816 --> 00:02:12.818
Of her daughter, okay? so, two greek words i use: one is quantity of faith,
00:02:12.884 --> 00:02:14.219
So, two greek words i use: one is quantity of faith, one is quality of faith.
00:02:14.286 --> 00:02:15.454
One is quantity of faith, one is quality of faith. i want both.
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.923
One is quality of faith. i want both. and the lord told me
00:02:17.990 --> 00:02:19.791
I want both. and the lord told me what's the difference
00:02:19.858 --> 00:02:21.293
And the lord told me what's the difference and what is the comparative
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.762
What's the difference and what is the comparative and the similarities
00:02:23.829 --> 00:02:24.663
And what is the comparative and the similarities between these two.
00:02:24.730 --> 00:02:26.298
And the similarities between these two. "you find the common
00:02:26.365 --> 00:02:28.267
Between these two. "you find the common denominator, you've found
00:02:28.333 --> 00:02:29.301
"you find the common denominator, you've found the secret of great faith,"
00:02:29.368 --> 00:02:30.335
Denominator, you've found the secret of great faith," he told me, many years ago.
00:02:30.402 --> 00:02:32.738
The secret of great faith," he told me, many years ago. today, it's been preached and
00:02:32.804 --> 00:02:33.972
He told me, many years ago. today, it's been preached and all that, but remember, you are
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:35.307
Today, it's been preached and all that, but remember, you are hearing the original dealer.
00:02:35.374 --> 00:02:38.777
All that, but remember, you are hearing the original dealer. now my book is out there,
00:02:38.844 --> 00:02:39.578
Hearing the original dealer. now my book is out there, people, you know,
00:02:39.645 --> 00:02:40.545
Now my book is out there, people, you know, but when i first received it,
00:02:40.612 --> 00:02:41.346
People, you know, but when i first received it, it was a revelation
00:02:41.413 --> 00:02:42.314
But when i first received it, it was a revelation from the lord.
00:02:42.381 --> 00:02:43.015
It was a revelation from the lord. so i looked at it and i heard
00:02:43.081 --> 00:02:44.082
From the lord. so i looked at it and i heard other preachers say
00:02:44.149 --> 00:02:44.816
So i looked at it and i heard other preachers say the roman centurion
00:02:44.883 --> 00:02:46.218
Other preachers say the roman centurion had great faith because
00:02:46.285 --> 00:02:47.019
The roman centurion had great faith because he was a man of authority.
00:02:47.085 --> 00:02:48.820
Had great faith because he was a man of authority. he understood the disciplines
00:02:48.887 --> 00:02:50.289
He was a man of authority. he understood the disciplines of law and order
00:02:50.355 --> 00:02:51.823
He understood the disciplines of law and order and submission and, you know,
00:02:51.890 --> 00:02:54.993
Of law and order and submission and, you know, the hierarchy of military.
00:02:55.060 --> 00:02:58.363
And submission and, you know, the hierarchy of military. i heard that before
00:02:58.430 --> 00:02:59.464
The hierarchy of military. i heard that before but then i told the lord that
00:02:59.531 --> 00:03:00.565
I heard that before but then i told the lord that and the lord says,
00:03:00.632 --> 00:03:01.233
But then i told the lord that and the lord says, "what about the woman?
00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:02.000
And the lord says, "what about the woman? she's not a soldier.
00:03:02.067 --> 00:03:03.735
"what about the woman? she's not a soldier. that woman is a housewife."
00:03:03.802 --> 00:03:05.671
She's not a soldier. that woman is a housewife." oh boy, he got me there.
00:03:05.737 --> 00:03:07.572
That woman is a housewife." oh boy, he got me there. he talked about common
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:08.473
Oh boy, he got me there. he talked about common denominator between the two.
00:03:08.540 --> 00:03:15.247
He talked about common denominator between the two. after about 10-15 minutes,
00:03:15.314 --> 00:03:16.782
Denominator between the two. after about 10-15 minutes, i forgot how long it was,
00:03:16.848 --> 00:03:17.683
After about 10-15 minutes, i forgot how long it was, it was quite some time,
00:03:17.749 --> 00:03:18.684
I forgot how long it was, it was quite some time, my lightning-fast mind
00:03:18.750 --> 00:03:21.620
It was quite some time, my lightning-fast mind asked the lord, "can you please
00:03:21.687 --> 00:03:22.888
My lightning-fast mind asked the lord, "can you please give me the answer?"
00:03:22.954 --> 00:03:25.157
Asked the lord, "can you please give me the answer?" and the lord said to me,
00:03:25.223 --> 00:03:26.992
Give me the answer?" and the lord said to me, "they were both non-jews.
00:03:27.059 --> 00:03:30.962
And the lord said to me, "they were both non-jews. the woman was a canaanite woman,
00:03:31.029 --> 00:03:32.764
"they were both non-jews. the woman was a canaanite woman, a non-jew,
00:03:32.831 --> 00:03:33.832
The woman was a canaanite woman, a non-jew, and the roman centurion
00:03:33.899 --> 00:03:34.900
A non-jew, and the roman centurion was a gentile.
00:03:34.966 --> 00:03:36.902
And the roman centurion was a gentile. also a non-jew, a roman.
00:03:36.968 --> 00:03:40.672
Was a gentile. also a non-jew, a roman. they both were not conscious
00:03:40.739 --> 00:03:41.606
Also a non-jew, a roman. they both were not conscious of the ten commandments,
00:03:41.673 --> 00:03:43.108
They both were not conscious of the ten commandments, but they were conscious of me,"
00:03:43.175 --> 00:03:45.777
"they were not conscious of
00:03:48.447 --> 00:03:49.614
"they were not conscious of falling short here and there.
00:03:49.681 --> 00:03:51.149
Falling short here and there. they were just conscious of me
00:03:51.216 --> 00:03:52.284
They were just conscious of me and my power
00:03:52.351 --> 00:03:53.785
And my power and my love for them.
00:03:53.852 --> 00:03:55.487
And my love for them. and that's why
00:03:55.554 --> 00:03:56.088
And that's why they had great faith."
00:03:56.154 --> 00:03:56.688
They had great faith." i said, "wow."
00:03:56.755 --> 00:03:58.223
I said, "wow." so i submit to you,
00:03:58.290 --> 00:03:59.758
So i submit to you, the more you are under the law,
00:03:59.825 --> 00:04:01.493
The more you are under the law, your faith cannot operate.
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.028
Your faith cannot operate. the law is not of faith.
00:04:03.095 --> 00:04:06.598
The law is not of faith. so the just shall live by faith,
00:04:06.665 --> 00:04:09.868
So the just shall live by faith, but those who are under law,
00:04:09.935 --> 00:04:11.370
But those who are under law, the man who does them,
00:04:11.436 --> 00:04:12.738
The man who does them, who keeps the law,
00:04:12.804 --> 00:04:13.705
Who keeps the law, the man who performs them,
00:04:13.772 --> 00:04:15.640
The man who performs them, the man who does them,
00:04:15.707 --> 00:04:17.275
The man who does them, will live by them.
00:04:17.342 --> 00:04:19.277
Will live by them. so you've got two lifestyles
00:04:19.344 --> 00:04:20.178
So you've got two lifestyles here.
00:04:20.245 --> 00:04:21.079
Here. one is the righteous
00:04:21.146 --> 00:04:23.148
One is the righteous by faith will live.
00:04:23.215 --> 00:04:25.350
By faith will live. the other one is the one who
00:04:25.417 --> 00:04:26.485
The other one is the one who performs all the commandments,
00:04:26.551 --> 00:04:28.086
Performs all the commandments, mind you, it must be all--
00:04:28.153 --> 00:04:29.788
Mind you, it must be all-- will live.
00:04:29.855 --> 00:04:31.256
Will live. in other words, if you can keep
00:04:31.323 --> 00:04:32.190
In other words, if you can keep all the commandments,
00:04:32.257 --> 00:04:33.492
All the commandments, you will live.
00:04:33.558 --> 00:04:35.327
You will live. the way of grace is,
00:04:35.394 --> 00:04:37.496
The way of grace is, if you believe you are righteous
00:04:37.562 --> 00:04:38.697
If you believe you are righteous by faith, you will live.
00:04:38.764 --> 00:04:40.866
By faith, you will live. and the word "live" here,
00:04:40.932 --> 00:04:42.534
And the word "live" here, the just shall live, is zao.
00:04:42.601 --> 00:04:45.637
The just shall live, is zao. the man who does them
00:04:45.704 --> 00:04:46.738
The man who does them shall live is zao.
00:04:46.805 --> 00:04:50.075
Shall live is zao. now, zao is not exactly zoe.
00:04:50.142 --> 00:04:52.577

And i'm grateful here. it's not just life from the dead,
00:05:15.434 --> 00:05:16.368
It's not just life from the dead, which is its main explanation.
00:05:16.435 --> 00:05:18.503

The one who teaches the meaning of greek words.
00:05:24.943 --> 00:05:26.011

Of physical life. jesus used zao when he says,
00:05:32.150 --> 00:05:33.251
Jesus used zao when he says, "man shall not zao
00:05:33.318 --> 00:05:35.220
By bread alone.
00:05:35.387 --> 00:05:36.688
By bread alone. man shall not live by bread
00:05:36.755 --> 00:05:38.056
By bread alone. man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
00:05:38.123 --> 00:05:39.458
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of god."

Alone, by noodles alone, by chapati alone, by ramen alone, by sushi alone.
00:06:04.416 --> 00:06:08.820

00:06:08.887 --> 00:06:09.855
By ramen alone, by sushi alone. whatever it is, is your staple food.
00:06:09.921 --> 00:06:11.122
Whatever it is, is your staple food. man does not live, does not

Maintain his physical life just by that, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth
00:06:17.295 --> 00:06:18.630

00:09:32.424 --> 00:09:33.925
And the son was healed. now, the first miracle, he's the lord of time.
00:09:33.992 --> 00:09:35.493
Now, the first miracle, he's the lord of time. the second miracle,
00:09:35.560 --> 00:09:36.161
He's the lord of time. the second miracle, he's the lord of space.

He's the lord of space. time and space. he's the lord of time and space.
00:09:38.730 --> 00:09:43.368
Time and space. he's the lord of time and space. that's why we're not limited
00:09:43.435 --> 00:09:44.369
He's the lord of time and space. that's why we're not limited to time and space, amen?

That's why we're not limited to time and space, amen? so let's follow
00:09:49.641 --> 00:09:50.341
To time and space, amen? so let's follow the second miracle.

Back with me to capernaum,"
00:09:54.746 --> 00:09:56.314
Back with me to capernaum," all right, "to heal my son."
00:09:56.381 --> 00:09:57.248
All right, "to heal my son." "jesus says, 'go your way;
00:09:57.315 --> 00:09:59.384
"jesus says, 'go your way; your son lives.'"

Your son lives.'" and the word "lives" here
00:10:01.219 --> 00:10:02.220
And the word "lives" here is zao.
00:10:02.287 --> 00:10:04.622
Is zao. but notice, he could have said,
00:10:04.689 --> 00:10:05.957
But notice, he could have said, "your son is healed.
00:10:06.024 --> 00:10:07.092
"your son is healed. go your way;
00:10:07.158 --> 00:10:07.759
Go your way; your son is healed."
00:10:07.826 --> 00:10:08.460
Your son is healed." but jesus didn't use the word
00:10:08.526 --> 00:10:09.260
But jesus didn't use the word "heal."
00:10:09.327 --> 00:10:11.262
"heal." he used the word "zao,"
00:10:11.329 --> 00:10:13.765
He used the word "zao," your son lives.
00:10:13.832 --> 00:10:16.501
Your son lives. "so the man believed the word

That jesus spoke to him, and he went his way."

Is the man who doeth them, a man who lives by doing. so every day you have a choice,

A man who lives by doing. so every day you have a choice, when you wake up:

Then you are under law. and the result is fruit to death.

To death. there's stress, there's fear, there's worry, there's anxiety.
00:11:27.205 --> 00:11:28.439
There's stress, there's fear, there's worry, there's anxiety. but the life of believing
00:11:28.506 --> 00:11:29.574
There's worry, there's anxiety. but the life of believing is a life of rest.

Of preaching. you'll be surprised how many people want you

You'll be surprised how many people want you to preach bad news.
00:11:37.615 --> 00:11:40.885
How many people want you to preach bad news. because they don't like to hear,
00:11:40.952 --> 00:11:42.720
To preach bad news. because they don't like to hear, "today, hi,

Are healthy today." no, news cannot flourish. there's no business.
00:12:08.513 --> 00:12:11.216
No, news cannot flourish. there's no business. you gotta find something bad
00:12:11.282 --> 00:12:13.318
There's no business. you gotta find something bad and put it on the front.
00:12:13.384 --> 00:12:15.086
You gotta find something bad and put it on the front. headlines: "this plane crashed."
00:12:15.153 --> 00:12:18.656
And put it on the front. headlines: "this plane crashed." tomorrow, you are flying out.
00:12:18.723 --> 00:12:23.127
Headlines: "this plane crashed." tomorrow, you are flying out. the devil wants to affect
00:12:23.194 --> 00:12:24.028
Tomorrow, you are flying out. the devil wants to affect your believing.
00:12:24.095 --> 00:12:28.233
The devil wants to affect your believing. come to church and listen

Your believing. come to church and listen to good news.
00:12:29.300 --> 00:12:30.435
Come to church and listen to good news. there's a lot of bad news
00:12:30.501 --> 00:12:31.236
To good news. there's a lot of bad news out there.
00:12:31.302 --> 00:12:32.537
There's a lot of bad news out there. we're not denying
00:12:32.604 --> 00:12:33.771
Out there. we're not denying those things exist.
00:12:33.838 --> 00:12:34.906
We're not denying those things exist. "a thousand shall fall at your
00:12:34.973 --> 00:12:35.773
Those things exist. "a thousand shall fall at your side" means 10,000 do fall.
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.042
"a thousand shall fall at your side" means 10,000 do fall. and they come very near,
00:12:38.109 --> 00:12:39.844
Side" means 10,000 do fall. and they come very near, but it will not come near you.
00:12:39.911 --> 00:12:41.579
And they come very near, but it will not come near you. that's god's promise
00:12:41.646 --> 00:12:42.614
But it will not come near you. that's god's promise and i believe it.
00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:44.749
That's god's promise and i believe it. i will not dishonor my father
00:12:44.816 --> 00:12:46.451
And i believe it. i will not dishonor my father by doubting that.
00:12:46.517 --> 00:12:48.419
Okay, let's come back
00:12:49.220 --> 00:12:49.921
Okay, let's come back to this again, okay?
00:12:49.988 --> 00:12:51.956
To this again, okay? "so the man believed the word
00:12:52.023 --> 00:12:53.858
"so the man believed the word that jesus spoke to him,
00:12:53.925 --> 00:12:54.792
That jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
00:12:54.859 --> 00:12:55.460
And he went his way. and as he was now going down,"
00:12:55.526 --> 00:12:57.128
And as he was now going down," to capernaum, his house, "his
00:12:57.195 --> 00:12:58.563
To capernaum, his house, "his servants met him and told him,
00:12:58.630 --> 00:12:59.464
Servants met him and told him, saying, 'your son lives!'"
00:12:59.530 --> 00:13:01.432
Saying, 'your son lives!'" repetition.
00:13:01.499 --> 00:13:02.233
Repetition. "your son lives!"
00:13:02.300 --> 00:13:03.401
"your son lives!" zao.
00:13:03.468 --> 00:13:04.836
Zao. go on.
00:13:04.903 --> 00:13:05.904
Go on. "then he inquired of them
00:13:05.970 --> 00:13:07.071
"then he inquired of them the hour when he got better.
00:13:07.138 --> 00:13:08.439
The hour when he got better. and they said to him,
00:13:08.506 --> 00:13:09.240
And they said to him, 'yesterday at the seventh hour
00:13:09.307 --> 00:13:10.842
'yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.'"
00:13:10.909 --> 00:13:11.943
The fever left him.'" so obviously,
00:13:12.010 --> 00:13:12.911
So obviously, the son got healed of fever.
00:13:12.977 --> 00:13:14.379
The son got healed of fever. and yet, jesus says,
00:13:14.445 --> 00:13:15.246
And yet, jesus says, "go your way.
00:13:15.313 --> 00:13:15.914
"go your way. your son lives,"
00:13:15.980 --> 00:13:16.614
Your son lives," instead of healed.
00:13:16.681 --> 00:13:17.615
Instead of healed. so the idea is we must
00:13:17.682 --> 00:13:19.017
So the idea is we must understand the word "lives" is
00:13:19.083 --> 00:13:20.652
Understand the word "lives" is recovery from disease as well.
00:13:20.718 --> 00:13:24.122
Recovery from disease as well. and see how often that phrase
00:13:24.188 --> 00:13:26.491
And see how often that phrase is used: your son lives,
00:13:26.557 --> 00:13:27.558
Is used: your son lives, your son lives, your son lives.
00:13:27.625 --> 00:13:29.928
Your son lives, your son lives. have you noticed that before?
00:13:29.994 --> 00:13:31.729
Have you noticed that before? all right?
00:13:31.796 --> 00:13:32.897
All right? "so the father knew
00:13:32.964 --> 00:13:33.765
"so the father knew that it was at the same hour
00:13:33.831 --> 00:13:34.999
That it was at the same hour in which jesus said to him,
00:13:35.066 --> 00:13:36.701
In which jesus said to him, 'your son lives,'" zao.
00:13:36.768 --> 00:13:39.103
'your son lives,'" zao. "and he himself believed,
00:13:39.170 --> 00:13:40.271
"and he himself believed, and his whole household."
00:13:40.338 --> 00:13:41.806
And his whole household." whoa, isn't it beautiful?
00:13:41.873 --> 00:13:44.208
And i'm here to tell you,
00:13:46.277 --> 00:13:47.011
And i'm here to tell you, you live.
00:13:47.078 --> 00:13:48.646
And i'm here to tell you, you live. your son lives.
00:13:48.713 --> 00:13:49.981
You live. your son lives. your daughter lives.
00:13:50.048 --> 00:13:51.382
Your son lives. your daughter lives. your family lives.
00:13:51.449 --> 00:13:52.850
Your daughter lives. your family lives. i don't know what other people
00:13:52.917 --> 00:13:53.985
Your family lives. i don't know what other people believe but i believe his word.
00:13:54.052 --> 00:13:57.455
I don't know what other people believe but i believe his word. "heaven and earth will pass
00:13:57.522 --> 00:13:58.523
Believe but i believe his word. "heaven and earth will pass away," he says, "but my words
00:13:58.589 --> 00:13:59.557
"heaven and earth will pass away," he says, "but my words will never pass away."
00:13:59.624 --> 00:14:01.225
Away," he says, "but my words will never pass away." so here we have two systems
00:14:01.292 --> 00:14:02.593
Will never pass away." so here we have two systems of life: either you live, the
00:14:02.660 --> 00:14:05.229
So here we have two systems of life: either you live, the righteous by faith will live,
00:14:05.296 --> 00:14:06.898
Of life: either you live, the righteous by faith will live, or the one under the law
00:14:06.965 --> 00:14:08.900
Righteous by faith will live, or the one under the law will keep on performing,
00:14:08.967 --> 00:14:09.701
Or the one under the law will keep on performing, trying to keep the law.
00:14:09.767 --> 00:14:10.768
Will keep on performing, trying to keep the law. now the promise is if you keep
00:14:10.835 --> 00:14:12.337
Trying to keep the law. now the promise is if you keep all the law, you will have life.
00:14:12.403 --> 00:14:14.672
Now the promise is if you keep all the law, you will have life. but has anyone ever done that?
00:14:14.739 --> 00:14:16.274
All the law, you will have life. but has anyone ever done that? none.
00:14:16.341 --> 00:14:18.009
But has anyone ever done that? none. so god gives us a way paid for
00:14:18.076 --> 00:14:20.445
None. so god gives us a way paid for by the blood of jesus,
00:14:20.511 --> 00:14:21.879
So god gives us a way paid for by the blood of jesus, which is so much easier,
00:14:21.946 --> 00:14:23.314
By the blood of jesus, which is so much easier, which is a testimony
00:14:23.381 --> 00:14:24.248
Which is so much easier, which is a testimony of the people in my ministry
00:14:24.315 --> 00:14:26.317
Which is a testimony of the people in my ministry who testify of how, you know,
00:14:26.384 --> 00:14:28.419
Of the people in my ministry who testify of how, you know, when they believe they are
00:14:28.486 --> 00:14:29.354
Who testify of how, you know, when they believe they are righteous by faith, they are
00:14:29.420 --> 00:14:30.688
When they believe they are righteous by faith, they are delivered from pornography,
00:14:30.755 --> 00:14:32.423
Righteous by faith, they are delivered from pornography, from drug addiction,
00:14:32.490 --> 00:14:34.058
Delivered from pornography, from drug addiction, from all kinds of bondages.
00:14:34.125 --> 00:14:38.162
From drug addiction, from all kinds of bondages. it's just the fruit.
00:14:38.229 --> 00:14:40.231
From all kinds of bondages. it's just the fruit. so when we are sick,
00:14:40.298 --> 00:14:41.499
It's just the fruit. so when we are sick, we actually need more life.
00:14:41.566 --> 00:14:43.701
So when we are sick, we actually need more life. what are you believing?
00:14:43.768 --> 00:14:45.636
We actually need more life. what are you believing? now i'm not saying, once again
00:14:45.703 --> 00:14:46.637
What are you believing? now i'm not saying, once again i remind you, i'm not saying
00:14:46.704 --> 00:14:47.605
Now i'm not saying, once again i remind you, i'm not saying everyone who is sick,
00:14:47.672 --> 00:14:49.674
I remind you, i'm not saying everyone who is sick, that means what?
00:14:49.741 --> 00:14:50.875
Everyone who is sick, that means what? there's sin in their life or--
00:14:50.942 --> 00:14:52.110
That means what? there's sin in their life or-- but i'm telling you
00:14:52.176 --> 00:14:53.211
There's sin in their life or-- but i'm telling you that some of the reason
00:14:53.277 --> 00:14:54.979
But i'm telling you that some of the reason is because they're under law.
00:14:55.046 --> 00:14:56.914
That some of the reason is because they're under law. i'm going to show you something
00:14:56.981 --> 00:14:57.715
Is because they're under law. i'm going to show you something right now that will probably
00:14:57.782 --> 00:14:58.483
I'm going to show you something right now that will probably blow your mind, if your mind
00:14:58.549 --> 00:14:59.917
Right now that will probably blow your mind, if your mind is not blown already, okay?
00:14:59.984 --> 00:15:02.220
Blow your mind, if your mind is not blown already, okay? let's go back to galatians
00:15:02.286 --> 00:15:03.354
Is not blown already, okay? let's go back to galatians and let's try to finish it off.
00:15:03.421 --> 00:15:06.457
All right, god--
00:15:08.626 --> 00:15:09.827
All right, god-- we read this just now.
00:15:09.894 --> 00:15:10.728
We read this just now. "just as abraham 'believed god,
00:15:10.795 --> 00:15:12.363
"just as abraham 'believed god, and it was accounted to him
00:15:12.430 --> 00:15:13.164
And it was accounted to him for righteousness.'"
00:15:13.231 --> 00:15:13.965
For righteousness.'" remember?
00:15:14.032 --> 00:15:14.565
Remember? abraham, god brought him out
00:15:14.632 --> 00:15:15.767
Of a sky full of stars
00:15:18.770 --> 00:15:22.106
Of a sky full of stars and god preached to him
00:15:22.173 --> 00:15:23.608
Of a sky full of stars and god preached to him the gospel in the stars.
00:15:23.674 --> 00:15:25.209
And god preached to him the gospel in the stars. and abraham read the story
00:15:25.276 --> 00:15:27.178
The gospel in the stars. and abraham read the story of jesus in the stars, amen.
00:15:27.245 --> 00:15:29.447
And abraham read the story of jesus in the stars, amen. the stars are not for astrology.
00:15:29.514 --> 00:15:32.216
Of jesus in the stars, amen. the stars are not for astrology. that is satanic.
00:15:32.283 --> 00:15:34.152
The stars are not for astrology. that is satanic. the stars are not just for
00:15:34.218 --> 00:15:35.586
That is satanic. the stars are not just for astronomy, for scientists.
00:15:35.653 --> 00:15:37.655
The stars are not just for astronomy, for scientists. the stars, long before there
00:15:37.722 --> 00:15:39.123
Astronomy, for scientists. the stars, long before there was a bible, the stars have
00:15:39.190 --> 00:15:40.892
The stars, long before there was a bible, the stars have 12 constellations, all right?
00:15:40.958 --> 00:15:42.827
Was a bible, the stars have 12 constellations, all right? and each one tells a story
00:15:42.894 --> 00:15:43.995
12 constellations, all right? and each one tells a story of the gospel.
00:15:44.062 --> 00:15:44.996
And each one tells a story of the gospel. it's the gospel story beginning
00:15:45.063 --> 00:15:46.397
Of the gospel. it's the gospel story beginning with the woman and the child,
00:15:46.464 --> 00:15:47.999
It's the gospel story beginning with the woman and the child, all right, all the way
00:15:48.066 --> 00:15:48.866
With the woman and the child, all right, all the way to the lion of judah
00:15:48.933 --> 00:15:49.734
All right, all the way to the lion of judah in the book of revelation.
00:15:49.801 --> 00:15:50.701
To the lion of judah in the book of revelation. so, and the ancients,
00:15:50.768 --> 00:15:51.903
In the book of revelation. so, and the ancients, they knew how to read the stars.
00:15:51.969 --> 00:15:53.838
So, and the ancients, they knew how to read the stars. not astrology.
00:15:53.905 --> 00:15:54.772
They knew how to read the stars. not astrology. that's evil.
00:15:54.839 --> 00:15:55.740
Not astrology. that's evil. the devil has corrupted it.
00:15:55.807 --> 00:15:57.008
That's evil. the devil has corrupted it. but before the bible.
00:15:57.075 --> 00:15:57.975
The devil has corrupted it. but before the bible. now we don't need to look at the
00:15:58.042 --> 00:15:59.043
But before the bible. now we don't need to look at the stars because we have the bible.
00:15:59.110 --> 00:16:00.445
Now we don't need to look at the stars because we have the bible. but abraham's time before
00:16:00.511 --> 00:16:01.546
Stars because we have the bible. but abraham's time before the bible existed, abraham,
00:16:01.612 --> 00:16:03.648
But abraham's time before the bible existed, abraham, god told him the stars
00:16:03.714 --> 00:16:04.649
The bible existed, abraham, god told him the stars and god says whether you
00:16:04.715 --> 00:16:05.716
God told him the stars and god says whether you are able to read the story.
00:16:05.783 --> 00:16:08.753
And god says whether you are able to read the story. you say, "but pastor, god says,
00:16:08.820 --> 00:16:10.488
Are able to read the story. you say, "but pastor, god says, 'see if you're able to number.'"
00:16:10.555 --> 00:16:11.456
You say, "but pastor, god says, 'see if you're able to number.'" no, no, no.
00:16:11.522 --> 00:16:12.190
'see if you're able to number.'" no, no, no. read carefully.
00:16:12.256 --> 00:16:12.924
No, no, no. read carefully. number there is sephir,
00:16:12.990 --> 00:16:13.791
Read carefully. number there is sephir, which is actually--
00:16:13.858 --> 00:16:15.259
Number there is sephir, which is actually-- either can be counting
00:16:15.326 --> 00:16:16.227
Which is actually-- either can be counting the numbers or see if you can
00:16:16.294 --> 00:16:18.663
Either can be counting the numbers or see if you can recount the story.
00:16:18.729 --> 00:16:20.598
The numbers or see if you can recount the story. you can tell the story
00:16:20.665 --> 00:16:21.799
Recount the story. you can tell the story of the stars.
00:16:21.866 --> 00:16:23.468
You can tell the story of the stars. and abraham, as you read the
00:16:23.534 --> 00:16:24.402
Of the stars. and abraham, as you read the same gospel you and i believe,
00:16:24.469 --> 00:16:26.504
And abraham, as you read the same gospel you and i believe, that god will send his son
00:16:26.571 --> 00:16:27.572
Same gospel you and i believe, that god will send his son to die for our sins.
00:16:27.638 --> 00:16:28.906
That god will send his son to die for our sins. he will take our place as a
00:16:28.973 --> 00:16:30.108
To die for our sins. he will take our place as a divine substitute, die for us
00:16:30.174 --> 00:16:31.976
He will take our place as a divine substitute, die for us and be raised from the dead
00:16:32.043 --> 00:16:33.511
Divine substitute, die for us and be raised from the dead after our sins have been settled
00:16:33.578 --> 00:16:35.146
And be raised from the dead after our sins have been settled once and for all.
00:16:35.213 --> 00:16:36.247
After our sins have been settled once and for all. there's no more offering
00:16:36.314 --> 00:16:37.115
Once and for all. there's no more offering for sin.
00:16:37.181 --> 00:16:38.316
There's no more offering for sin. he has done it once and for all
00:16:38.382 --> 00:16:39.383
For sin. he has done it once and for all and he's risen for you and i.
00:16:39.450 --> 00:16:41.385
He has done it once and for all and he's risen for you and i. he's our good shepherd
00:16:41.452 --> 00:16:42.220
And he's risen for you and i. he's our good shepherd and our great high priest, amen.
00:16:42.286 --> 00:16:44.222
He's our good shepherd and our great high priest, amen. abraham says, "amen."
00:16:44.288 --> 00:16:46.190
All right, let's drop down,
00:16:46.390 --> 00:16:47.892
All right, let's drop down, verse 7: "therefore know
00:16:47.959 --> 00:16:48.693
Verse 7: "therefore know that only those who are of faith
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:51.362
That only those who are of faith are sons of abraham."
00:16:51.429 --> 00:16:52.864
Are sons of abraham." the word "sons" here are
00:16:52.930 --> 00:16:54.031
The word "sons" here are full grown, mature sons.
00:16:54.098 --> 00:16:55.333
The moment grace came, you know,
00:16:57.401 --> 00:16:58.703
The moment grace came, you know, if you read the entire story
00:16:58.769 --> 00:16:59.604
The moment grace came, you know, if you read the entire story of galatians chapter 3, it tells
00:16:59.670 --> 00:17:01.239
If you read the entire story of galatians chapter 3, it tells you that israel was once upon a
00:17:01.305 --> 00:17:02.773
Of galatians chapter 3, it tells you that israel was once upon a time a baby, a child, an infant,
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:05.510
You that israel was once upon a time a baby, a child, an infant, nepios in the greek.
00:17:05.576 --> 00:17:06.911
Time a baby, a child, an infant, nepios in the greek. when christ came, grace came,
00:17:06.978 --> 00:17:09.046
Nepios in the greek. when christ came, grace came, they came out of the law.
00:17:09.113 --> 00:17:10.081
When christ came, grace came, they came out of the law. see, law is infant.
00:17:10.148 --> 00:17:12.817
They came out of the law. see, law is infant. that's why when children come
00:17:12.884 --> 00:17:14.285
See, law is infant. that's why when children come to my house, i tell them,
00:17:14.352 --> 00:17:16.120
That's why when children come to my house, i tell them, "don't touch the kitchen stove,
00:17:16.187 --> 00:17:17.421
To my house, i tell them, "don't touch the kitchen stove, don't touch the electricity,
00:17:17.488 --> 00:17:18.789
"don't touch the kitchen stove, don't touch the electricity, don't, don't, don't, don't."
00:17:18.856 --> 00:17:20.892
Don't touch the electricity, don't, don't, don't, don't." when you come to my house
00:17:20.958 --> 00:17:21.859
Don't, don't, don't, don't." when you come to my house and i say, "don't touch the
00:17:21.926 --> 00:17:22.860
When you come to my house and i say, "don't touch the electricity, don't touch this,"
00:17:22.927 --> 00:17:24.629
And i say, "don't touch the electricity, don't touch this," i'm insulting you,
00:17:24.695 --> 00:17:25.429
Electricity, don't touch this," i'm insulting you, you understand?
00:17:25.496 --> 00:17:26.931
I'm insulting you, you understand? all right?
00:17:26.998 --> 00:17:27.698
You understand? all right? so the law was for nepios,
00:17:27.765 --> 00:17:29.800
All right? so the law was for nepios, infants.
00:17:29.867 --> 00:17:31.002
So the law was for nepios, infants. israel was a servant.
00:17:31.068 --> 00:17:32.203
Infants. israel was a servant. it was as if--
00:17:32.270 --> 00:17:33.437
Israel was a servant. it was as if-- no better than a servant
00:17:33.504 --> 00:17:34.272
It was as if-- no better than a servant because nepios is a child.
00:17:34.338 --> 00:17:36.474
No better than a servant because nepios is a child. a child cannot drive
00:17:36.541 --> 00:17:37.408
Because nepios is a child. a child cannot drive the father's rolls royce, amen.
00:17:37.475 --> 00:17:40.778
A child cannot drive the father's rolls royce, amen. even though the child inherits
00:17:40.845 --> 00:17:42.246
The father's rolls royce, amen. even though the child inherits but he cannot drive
00:17:42.313 --> 00:17:43.114
Even though the child inherits but he cannot drive as long as he is a child.
00:17:43.181 --> 00:17:44.215
But he cannot drive as long as he is a child. but when grace came, he steps
00:17:44.282 --> 00:17:45.983
As long as he is a child. but when grace came, he steps into huios, his position.
00:17:46.050 --> 00:17:48.119
But when grace came, he steps into huios, his position. today, even, the jewish people,
00:17:48.186 --> 00:17:49.854
Into huios, his position. today, even, the jewish people, they have a custom by which,
00:17:49.921 --> 00:17:51.055
Today, even, the jewish people, they have a custom by which, bar mitzvah,
00:17:51.122 --> 00:17:52.056
They have a custom by which, bar mitzvah, a child 11, 12 years old,
00:17:52.123 --> 00:17:53.524
Bar mitzvah, a child 11, 12 years old, he comes to a place where
00:17:53.591 --> 00:17:54.892
A child 11, 12 years old, he comes to a place where they have a festival, they have
00:17:54.959 --> 00:17:56.060
He comes to a place where they have a festival, they have a feast, a celebration,
00:17:56.127 --> 00:17:57.261
They have a festival, they have a feast, a celebration, where the child becomes a man.
00:17:57.328 --> 00:18:00.231
A feast, a celebration, where the child becomes a man. that is a form of huios.
00:18:00.298 --> 00:18:02.233
Where the child becomes a man. that is a form of huios. it's still your own child.
00:18:02.300 --> 00:18:03.768
That is a form of huios. it's still your own child. so when grace came,
00:18:03.834 --> 00:18:05.069
It's still your own child. so when grace came, grace brought us into
00:18:05.136 --> 00:18:05.937
So when grace came, grace brought us into the position of huios, sonship.
00:18:06.003 --> 00:18:09.207
Grace brought us into the position of huios, sonship. under law, we are infants.
00:18:09.273 --> 00:18:11.509
The position of huios, sonship. under law, we are infants. under grace, we are sons.
00:18:11.576 --> 00:18:13.878
Under law, we are infants. under grace, we are sons. under law, we call god yahweh,
00:18:13.945 --> 00:18:17.548
Under grace, we are sons. under law, we call god yahweh, all right?
00:18:17.615 --> 00:18:18.683
Under law, we call god yahweh, all right? distance.
00:18:18.749 --> 00:18:20.084
All right? distance. we are afraid of him.
00:18:20.151 --> 00:18:21.786
Distance. we are afraid of him. under grace, we call him father,
00:18:21.852 --> 00:18:24.155
We are afraid of him. under grace, we call him father, abba, daddy god, abba, amen?
00:18:24.222 --> 00:18:30.494
Under grace, we call him father, abba, daddy god, abba, amen? amen?
00:18:30.561 --> 00:18:31.495
Abba, daddy god, abba, amen? amen? are you with me so far?
00:18:31.562 --> 00:18:33.130
Amen? are you with me so far? all right?
00:18:33.197 --> 00:18:34.265
Are you with me so far? all right? and the law is all about
00:18:34.332 --> 00:18:36.033
All right? and the law is all about what man must do.
00:18:36.100 --> 00:18:36.867
And the law is all about what man must do. what man must do.
00:18:36.934 --> 00:18:37.935
What man must do. what man must do. man must be good,
00:18:38.002 --> 00:18:39.103
What man must do. man must be good, then god will be good.
00:18:39.170 --> 00:18:40.404
Man must be good, then god will be good. under grace, god is good to us.
00:18:40.471 --> 00:18:42.573
Then god will be good. under grace, god is good to us. now we can be good
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:44.075
Under grace, god is good to us. now we can be good because it's his goodness
00:18:44.141 --> 00:18:45.209
Now we can be good because it's his goodness that leads us to repentance.
00:18:45.276 --> 00:18:51.515
Because it's his goodness that leads us to repentance. under law, all right, we are
00:18:51.582 --> 00:18:54.318
That leads us to repentance. under law, all right, we are conscious of what we are to god.
00:18:54.385 --> 00:18:56.954
Under law, all right, we are conscious of what we are to god. are you like that today?
00:18:57.021 --> 00:18:58.122
Conscious of what we are to god. are you like that today? but under grace, we are
00:18:58.189 --> 00:18:59.557
Are you like that today? but under grace, we are conscious of what god is to us.
00:18:59.624 --> 00:19:02.526
But under grace, we are conscious of what god is to us. he is for us.
00:19:02.593 --> 00:19:03.661
Conscious of what god is to us. he is for us. he is our provider.
00:19:03.728 --> 00:19:04.729
He is for us. he is our provider. he is our healer.
00:19:04.795 --> 00:19:05.763
He is our provider. he is our healer. he is our refuge.
00:19:05.830 --> 00:19:06.931
He is our healer. he is our refuge. he is our keeper.
00:19:06.998 --> 00:19:08.432
He is our refuge. he is our keeper. he is our provider.
00:19:08.499 --> 00:19:10.101
He is our keeper. he is our provider. if you are conscious of that,
00:19:10.167 --> 00:19:11.135
He is our provider. if you are conscious of that, you are effectively under grace.
00:19:11.202 --> 00:19:13.104
So it says,
00:19:15.706 --> 00:19:18.376
So it says, "know that only those--"
00:19:18.442 --> 00:19:19.910
"know that only those--" say, "only those."
00:19:19.977 --> 00:19:22.146
Say, "only those." "only those who are of faith
00:19:22.213 --> 00:19:23.381
"only those who are of faith are sons of abraham."
00:19:23.447 --> 00:19:24.882
Are sons of abraham." now, the jewish people today,
00:19:24.949 --> 00:19:26.150
Now, the jewish people today, i mean,
00:19:26.217 --> 00:19:27.718
I mean, the ancient people of god,
00:19:27.785 --> 00:19:28.686
The ancient people of god, the jewish people,
00:19:28.753 --> 00:19:29.420
The jewish people, they will say,
00:19:29.487 --> 00:19:30.154
They will say, "no, we are sons of abraham,"
00:19:30.221 --> 00:19:31.255
"no, we are sons of abraham," but actually, they are children
00:19:31.322 --> 00:19:32.189
But actually, they are children of abraham.
00:19:32.256 --> 00:19:34.158
Only those of faith are sons.
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:37.261
Only those of faith are sons. and that's why when jesus was in
00:19:37.328 --> 00:19:38.462
Only those of faith are sons. and that's why when jesus was in zacchaeus's house, he says that
00:19:38.529 --> 00:19:41.899
And that's why when jesus was in zacchaeus's house, he says that salvation has come to this house
00:19:41.966 --> 00:19:43.234
Zacchaeus's house, he says that salvation has come to this house as much as zacchaeus
00:19:43.301 --> 00:19:44.235
Salvation has come to this house as much as zacchaeus is the son of abraham because
00:19:44.302 --> 00:19:45.870
As much as zacchaeus is the son of abraham because zacchaeus had faith in him.
00:19:45.936 --> 00:19:47.905
Is the son of abraham because zacchaeus had faith in him. remember that woman who was
00:19:47.972 --> 00:19:49.273
Zacchaeus had faith in him. remember that woman who was bowed down for 18 years, amen?
00:19:49.340 --> 00:19:52.410
Remember that woman who was bowed down for 18 years, amen? she was under the evil spirit.
00:19:52.476 --> 00:19:54.345
Bowed down for 18 years, amen? she was under the evil spirit. that's why number 6 plus 6 plus
00:19:54.412 --> 00:19:56.080
She was under the evil spirit. that's why number 6 plus 6 plus 6 is 18, is a number
00:19:56.147 --> 00:19:58.082
That's why number 6 plus 6 plus 6 is 18, is a number that marks bondage.
00:19:58.149 --> 00:20:00.017
6 is 18, is a number that marks bondage. and she identified people
00:20:00.084 --> 00:20:01.085
That marks bondage. and she identified people by their toenails,
00:20:01.152 --> 00:20:03.054
And she identified people by their toenails, by their sandals.
00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:04.822
By their toenails, by their sandals. imagine 18 years, a dust
00:20:04.889 --> 00:20:06.957
By their sandals. imagine 18 years, a dust mentality, a dust mentality,
00:20:07.024 --> 00:20:09.560
Imagine 18 years, a dust mentality, a dust mentality, until she met jesus.
00:20:09.627 --> 00:20:11.462
Mentality, a dust mentality, until she met jesus. and jesus says
00:20:11.529 --> 00:20:12.997
Until she met jesus. and jesus says she was in the synagogue.
00:20:13.064 --> 00:20:14.565
And jesus says she was in the synagogue. she's been there all the while
00:20:14.632 --> 00:20:16.667
She was in the synagogue. she's been there all the while and the pastor of the church,
00:20:16.734 --> 00:20:19.003
She's been there all the while and the pastor of the church, he even ministered to her
00:20:19.070 --> 00:20:19.804
And the pastor of the church, he even ministered to her and jesus says,
00:20:19.870 --> 00:20:20.671
He even ministered to her and jesus says, and he was angry that
00:20:20.738 --> 00:20:21.572
And jesus says, and he was angry that jesus would minister to her.
00:20:21.639 --> 00:20:23.474
And he was angry that jesus would minister to her. and you know what jesus says?
00:20:23.541 --> 00:20:24.408
Jesus would minister to her. and you know what jesus says? "ought not this woman--"
00:20:24.475 --> 00:20:26.010
And you know what jesus says? "ought not this woman--" listen to the language,
00:20:26.077 --> 00:20:27.178
"ought not this woman--" listen to the language, the language of love.
00:20:27.244 --> 00:20:28.813
Listen to the language, the language of love. and almost like a shepherd
00:20:28.879 --> 00:20:32.383
The language of love. and almost like a shepherd who loved the sheep so much
00:20:32.450 --> 00:20:34.618
And almost like a shepherd who loved the sheep so much that he would defend the sheep
00:20:34.685 --> 00:20:35.886
Who loved the sheep so much that he would defend the sheep against the wolf.
00:20:35.953 --> 00:20:39.390
That he would defend the sheep against the wolf. in that spirit he says,
00:20:39.457 --> 00:20:40.291
Against the wolf. in that spirit he says, "ought not this woman,
00:20:40.358 --> 00:20:41.892
In that spirit he says, "ought not this woman, being a daughter of abraham,
00:20:41.959 --> 00:20:44.061
"ought not this woman, being a daughter of abraham, be loosed from this bond?"
00:20:44.128 --> 00:20:46.864
Being a daughter of abraham, be loosed from this bond?" in other words, ought not
00:20:46.931 --> 00:20:49.166
Be loosed from this bond?" in other words, ought not a woman who is a daughter
00:20:49.233 --> 00:20:50.501
In other words, ought not a woman who is a daughter of abraham be loosed?
00:20:50.568 --> 00:20:55.072
A woman who is a daughter of abraham be loosed? wow, wow.
00:20:55.139 --> 00:20:58.876
Of abraham be loosed? wow, wow. if you are a son of abraham,
00:20:58.943 --> 00:21:00.010
Wow, wow. if you are a son of abraham, a daughter of abraham, you ought
00:21:00.077 --> 00:21:01.345
If you are a son of abraham, a daughter of abraham, you ought to be free from the curse.
00:21:01.412 --> 00:21:04.115
Amen?
00:21:05.716 --> 00:21:06.884
Amen? so let's go on.
00:21:06.951 --> 00:21:08.586
So let's go on. verse 8: "and the scripture,
00:21:08.652 --> 00:21:09.854
Verse 8: "and the scripture, foreseeing that god would
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:11.155
Foreseeing that god would justify the gentiles by faith,
00:21:11.222 --> 00:21:13.691
Justify the gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to abraham
00:21:13.758 --> 00:21:15.226
Preached the gospel to abraham beforehand, saying, 'in you all
00:21:15.292 --> 00:21:16.494
Beforehand, saying, 'in you all the nations shall be blessed.'"
00:21:16.560 --> 00:21:17.628
And god actually preached
00:21:19.697 --> 00:21:20.231
And god actually preached the gospel like i told you
00:21:20.297 --> 00:21:21.065

From the stars. god preached the gospel to abraham.
00:21:22.633 --> 00:21:23.634
God preached the gospel to abraham. abraham heard the gospel,
00:21:23.701 --> 00:21:24.735
To abraham. abraham heard the gospel, same gospel you and i believe,

Abraham heard the gospel, same gospel you and i believe, all right,

And the revelation
00:21:29.407 --> 00:21:29.974

The gospel is god will justify the non-jews, gentiles,
00:21:35.579 --> 00:21:36.914
The non-jews, gentiles, by faith.

By faith. the topic here where all
00:21:38.382 --> 00:21:40.351
The topic here where all the nations will be blessed.
00:21:40.418 --> 00:21:42.086
The nations will be blessed. blessed in what sense?

How to be blessed? in the old testament, the way to be blessed,
00:21:52.830 --> 00:21:53.664
In the old testament, the way to be blessed, you must keep all

The way to be blessed, you must keep all of god's commandments.
00:21:54.365 --> 00:21:56.167
You must keep all of god's commandments. if not, you are under the curse.
00:21:56.233 --> 00:21:57.701
Of god's commandments. if not, you are under the curse. unfortunately, everyone came
00:21:57.768 --> 00:21:59.503
If not, you are under the curse. unfortunately, everyone came under the curse.
00:21:59.570 --> 00:22:00.638
Unfortunately, everyone came under the curse. if you take that position,
00:22:00.704 --> 00:22:01.372
Under the curse. if you take that position, you are under the curse.
00:22:01.439 --> 00:22:02.106
If you take that position, you are under the curse. now, under the new covenant,
00:22:02.173 --> 00:22:04.108
You are under the curse. now, under the new covenant, how are you blessed?
00:22:04.175 --> 00:22:06.243
Now, under the new covenant, how are you blessed? by believing
00:22:06.310 --> 00:22:07.478
Remember the verse before this?

Remember the verse before this? that god would justify
00:22:10.581 --> 00:22:11.449
That god would justify the gentiles by faith.
00:22:11.515 --> 00:22:12.416
The gentiles by faith. the topic of faith here
00:22:12.483 --> 00:22:13.517
The topic of faith here is justification by faith.
00:22:13.584 --> 00:22:16.887
Is justification by faith. if you believe you are justified
00:22:16.954 --> 00:22:17.955
If you believe you are justified by faith, you believe you are
00:22:18.022 --> 00:22:18.956
By faith, you believe you are righteous by faith, amen,
00:22:19.023 --> 00:22:20.958
Righteous by faith, amen, you are blessed with

You are blessed with believing abraham.
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:23.394
Believing abraham. when a thought comes to your
00:22:23.461 --> 00:22:24.328
When a thought comes to your mind, the devil says, "i'm going
00:22:24.395 --> 00:22:25.529
Mind, the devil says, "i'm going to do something to your son."
00:22:25.596 --> 00:22:26.797
To do something to your son." you say, "i'm the righteousness
00:22:26.864 --> 00:22:28.365
You say, "i'm the righteousness of god in christ
00:22:28.432 --> 00:22:29.233
Of god in christ and my seed is delivered."
00:22:29.300 --> 00:22:31.235
And my seed is delivered." why?
00:22:31.302 --> 00:22:32.002
Why? proverbs says that the seed
00:22:32.069 --> 00:22:33.037
Proverbs says that the seed of the righteous is delivered.
00:22:33.103 --> 00:22:34.305
Of the righteous is delivered. that's you.
00:22:34.371 --> 00:22:35.573
That's you. we come back to this galatians 3
00:22:35.639 --> 00:22:37.374
We come back to this galatians 3 again: are you of faith,
00:22:37.441 --> 00:22:39.610
Again: are you of faith, justification by faith,
00:22:39.677 --> 00:22:41.779
Justification by faith, that you are blessed
00:22:41.846 --> 00:22:42.580
That you are blessed with believing abraham?
00:22:42.646 --> 00:22:44.615
With believing abraham? or are you under the works
00:22:44.682 --> 00:22:48.385
Or are you under the works of the law?
00:22:48.452 --> 00:22:50.287
Of the law? you are cursed.
00:22:50.354 --> 00:22:52.289
You are cursed. and it's so subtle that i want
00:22:52.356 --> 00:22:53.791
I show you the final verses.
00:22:56.060 --> 00:22:58.529
I show you the final verses. i want to tell you that this is
00:22:58.596 --> 00:23:00.097
I show you the final verses. i want to tell you that this is a place that you and i cannot

I want to tell you that this is a place that you and i cannot afford to be in, all right?
00:23:01.332 --> 00:23:03.934
A place that you and i cannot afford to be in, all right? we've got to make sure that,
00:23:04.001 --> 00:23:05.035
Afford to be in, all right? we've got to make sure that, whoa, we are on grace ground.

Whoa, we are on grace ground. how do you know you are on grace ground?
00:23:07.571 --> 00:23:08.239
How do you know you are on grace ground? you are able to address god
00:23:08.305 --> 00:23:09.373
You are on grace ground? you are able to address god not like a distant,
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:10.174
You are able to address god not like a distant, but god is so close.
00:23:10.241 --> 00:23:11.542
Not like a distant, but god is so close. closer than your hands and feet,
00:23:11.609 --> 00:23:12.943
But god is so close. closer than your hands and feet, than your breath.
00:23:13.010 --> 00:23:13.777
Closer than your hands and feet, than your breath. you are in the holy of holies
00:23:13.844 --> 00:23:14.778
Than your breath. you are in the holy of holies constantly.
00:23:14.845 --> 00:23:15.946
You are in the holy of holies constantly. god does not see sin on you,
00:23:16.013 --> 00:23:17.748
Constantly. god does not see sin on you, amen?

Amen? he treats you, amen, like jesus. he does.

He does. we are accepted in the beloved, amen?
00:23:23.888 --> 00:23:25.256
We are accepted in the beloved, amen? are you conscious of that?
00:23:25.322 --> 00:23:27.958
In the beloved, amen? are you conscious of that? do you call god abba or daddy?
00:23:28.025 --> 00:23:31.262
Are you conscious of that? do you call god abba or daddy? father, father,
00:23:31.328 --> 00:23:33.264
Do you call god abba or daddy? father, father, abba father, amen.

Father, father, abba father, amen. do you have a spirit of sonship
00:23:35.432 --> 00:23:36.767
Abba father, amen. do you have a spirit of sonship or a slave?
00:23:36.834 --> 00:23:38.769
Do you have a spirit of sonship or a slave? like the son going down there,
00:23:38.836 --> 00:23:40.371
Or a slave? like the son going down there, going back to the spirit
00:23:40.437 --> 00:23:41.038
Like the son going down there, going back to the spirit of slave.
