00:01:19.022 --> 00:01:20.423
Inspiration of god, and is profitable for doctrine, for

For every good work." all scripture.
00:01:38.107 --> 00:01:38.741
All scripture. say, all scripture.
00:01:38.808 --> 00:01:40.710
Say, all scripture. this word is given by
00:01:40.777 --> 00:01:42.111
This word is given by inspiration of god.
00:01:42.178 --> 00:01:43.213
Inspiration of god. inspiration of god is one word
00:01:43.279 --> 00:01:44.814
Inspiration of god is one word in the greek.
00:01:44.881 --> 00:01:46.416
In the greek. it's one word.
00:01:46.482 --> 00:01:47.450
It's one word. literally, it is god-breathed.
00:01:47.517 --> 00:01:51.221
Literally, it is god-breathed. the bible you hold in your hands

Is god-breathed.
00:01:53.489 --> 00:01:54.757
Is god-breathed. the words are god-breathed.
00:01:54.824 --> 00:01:57.727
The words are god-breathed. now this breath of god is the
00:01:57.794 --> 00:01:58.995
Now this breath of god is the same breath in genesis 2 when
00:01:59.062 --> 00:02:01.297
Same breath in genesis 2 when the bible says that god breathed
00:02:01.364 --> 00:02:04.500
The bible says that god breathed into adam's nostrils the breath
00:02:04.567 --> 00:02:07.637
Of life and man became
00:02:07.704 --> 00:02:10.139
Of life and man became a living soul.
00:02:10.206 --> 00:02:12.141
A living soul. amen.
00:02:12.208 --> 00:02:12.675
Amen. so imagine if you are getting
00:02:12.742 --> 00:02:15.845
So imagine if you are getting weaker, you are feeling like you
00:02:15.912 --> 00:02:17.947
Weaker, you are feeling like you don't have the energy.
00:02:18.014 --> 00:02:19.649
Don't have the energy. when you spend time in this
00:02:19.716 --> 00:02:20.817
When you spend time in this word, even physically, it has
00:02:20.883 --> 00:02:22.819
Word, even physically, it has an effect on you.

It is the breath of god. god's breath is in this book.
00:02:27.924 --> 00:02:29.959
God's breath is in this book. so every time you read this
00:02:30.026 --> 00:02:30.994
So every time you read this book, it breathes on you.
00:02:31.060 --> 00:02:32.695
Book, it breathes on you. god is breathing on you again.
00:02:32.762 --> 00:02:35.298
God is breathing on you again. every scripture is god-breathed.
00:02:35.365 --> 00:02:38.268
Every scripture is god-breathed. this is not the word of men.

This is not the word of men. can i have a good amen?
00:02:39.769 --> 00:02:41.904
Can i have a good amen? in proverbs 4, one of my
00:02:41.971 --> 00:02:44.240
In proverbs 4, one of my favorite scripture, passage of
00:02:44.307 --> 00:02:45.041
Favorite scripture, passage of scripture, "my son, give
00:02:45.108 --> 00:02:46.342
Scripture, "my son, give attention to my words; incline
00:02:46.409 --> 00:02:48.511
Attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.
00:02:48.578 --> 00:02:50.213
Your ear to my sayings. do not let them depart from your
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.081
Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of
00:02:52.148 --> 00:02:53.816
Eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are," what?
00:02:53.883 --> 00:02:56.085
Your heart; for they are," what? "life."
00:02:56.152 --> 00:02:57.120
"life." say life.
00:02:57.186 --> 00:02:58.788
Say life. to whom, to whom, to everybody?
00:02:58.855 --> 00:03:00.356
To whom, to whom, to everybody? no, no, no.
00:03:00.423 --> 00:03:01.090
No, no, no. "to those that find them,
00:03:01.157 --> 00:03:03.860
"to those that find them, and health," what?
00:03:03.926 --> 00:03:05.695
And health," what? health what?
00:03:05.762 --> 00:03:06.396
Health what? "to all their flesh."
00:03:06.462 --> 00:03:08.865
"to all their flesh." you see the word "all their" in
00:03:08.931 --> 00:03:09.999
You see the word "all their" in the hebrew is the word col.
00:03:10.066 --> 00:03:11.634
The hebrew is the word col. col means all your flesh.
00:03:11.701 --> 00:03:15.405
Col means all your flesh. many a times, medicine is for
00:03:15.471 --> 00:03:17.507
Many a times, medicine is for a specific area.
00:03:17.573 --> 00:03:19.075
A specific area. and then, while it ministers to
00:03:19.142 --> 00:03:21.344
And then, while it ministers to that area of need in your body,
00:03:21.411 --> 00:03:24.213
That area of need in your body, it actually can produce side
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:25.381
It actually can produce side effects in other areas.
00:03:25.448 --> 00:03:26.983
Effects in other areas. but only god's word has an
00:03:27.050 --> 00:03:28.918
But only god's word has an effect where it is, when you
00:03:28.985 --> 00:03:30.553
Effect where it is, when you read it, when you spend time in

Life to those that find them and health to all your flesh.

Health to all your flesh. to all your flesh.

To all your flesh. from the crown of your head
00:03:41.731 --> 00:03:42.632
From the crown of your head to the soles of your feet.
00:03:42.699 --> 00:03:44.701
To the soles of your feet. that's good news.
00:03:44.767 --> 00:03:46.502
That's good news. and you know what?
00:03:46.569 --> 00:03:47.136
And you know what? again, god's gifts are always
00:03:47.203 --> 00:03:48.805
Again, god's gifts are always available for all.
00:03:48.871 --> 00:03:51.140
Available for all. all right, you don't have
00:03:51.207 --> 00:03:51.874
All right, you don't have to say, you must get
00:03:51.941 --> 00:03:53.076
To say, you must get a special version.
00:03:53.142 --> 00:03:54.243
A special version. you must get, you know, must go
00:03:54.310 --> 00:03:56.045
You must get, you know, must go to this place and get from this
00:03:56.112 --> 00:03:57.547
To this place and get from this special copy and all that.
00:03:57.613 --> 00:03:58.948
Special copy and all that. there is no such thing.
00:03:59.015 --> 00:03:59.816
There is no such thing. amen?
00:03:59.882 --> 00:04:00.583
Amen? i love god.
00:04:00.650 --> 00:04:01.517
I love god. i love the way he makes
00:04:01.584 --> 00:04:02.585
I love the way he makes it practical.
00:04:02.652 --> 00:04:03.453
It practical. now, the bible says that the
00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:05.521
Now, the bible says that the word of god, every scripture,
00:04:05.588 --> 00:04:07.390
Word of god, every scripture, say every scripture,
00:04:07.457 --> 00:04:09.459
Say every scripture, is god-breathed.
00:04:09.525 --> 00:04:11.561
Is god-breathed. now, there is an idea right now
00:04:11.627 --> 00:04:14.530
Now, there is an idea right now that people say things like, you
00:04:14.597 --> 00:04:16.399
That people say things like, you know, people think that the
00:04:16.466 --> 00:04:17.433
Know, people think that the bible is not relevant.
00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:18.501
Bible is not relevant. so when i preach, there are
00:04:18.568 --> 00:04:19.469
So when i preach, there are preachers who say, when i
00:04:19.535 --> 00:04:20.336
Preachers who say, when i preach, i don't use the bible
00:04:20.403 --> 00:04:22.105
Preach, i don't use the bible anymore because people don't
00:04:22.171 --> 00:04:25.908
Anymore because people don't believe the bible.
00:04:25.975 --> 00:04:27.076
Believe the bible. well, you know something?
00:04:27.143 --> 00:04:28.378
Well, you know something? you just have to preach the
00:04:28.444 --> 00:04:29.278
You just have to preach the bible and the holy spirit is
00:04:29.345 --> 00:04:30.847
Bible and the holy spirit is able to confirm it in
00:04:30.913 --> 00:04:31.814
Able to confirm it in their hearts.
00:04:31.881 --> 00:04:33.516
Their hearts. i love billy graham the way
00:04:33.583 --> 00:04:34.450
I love billy graham the way he preached.
00:04:34.517 --> 00:04:35.084
He preached. billy graham said, the bible
00:04:35.151 --> 00:04:36.018
Billy graham said, the bible says, all have sinned and come
00:04:36.085 --> 00:04:37.453
Says, all have sinned and come short of the glory of god.
00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:38.921
Short of the glory of god. the bible says, it's appointed
00:04:38.988 --> 00:04:41.057
The bible says, it's appointed unto men to die once and after
00:04:41.124 --> 00:04:43.926
Unto men to die once and after this, the judgment.
00:04:43.993 --> 00:04:44.894
This, the judgment. the bible says, there is a place
00:04:44.961 --> 00:04:46.896
The bible says, there is a place called hell.
00:04:46.963 --> 00:04:47.630
Called hell. amen.
00:04:47.697 --> 00:04:48.197
Amen. the bible says, i love the way
00:04:48.264 --> 00:04:49.399
The bible says, i love the way he said, the bible says,
00:04:49.465 --> 00:04:50.433
He said, the bible says, the bible says, the bible says.
00:04:50.500 --> 00:04:52.335
The bible says, the bible says. amen.
00:04:52.402 --> 00:04:52.902
Amen. that's authority right there.
00:04:52.969 --> 00:04:54.804
That's authority right there. every scripture, and if you are
00:04:54.871 --> 00:04:56.773
Every scripture, and if you are wondering where we stand,
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.574
Wondering where we stand, we believe in the verbal
00:04:58.641 --> 00:04:59.976
We believe in the verbal inspiration of scripture.
00:05:00.042 --> 00:05:02.078
Inspiration of scripture. which means there are even
00:05:02.145 --> 00:05:03.813
Which means there are even christians who believe that the
00:05:03.880 --> 00:05:07.049
Christians who believe that the ideas in the bible is inspired,
00:05:07.116 --> 00:05:10.052
Ideas in the bible is inspired, but the words are not.
00:05:10.119 --> 00:05:10.920
But the words are not. no, we don't believe that.
00:05:10.987 --> 00:05:12.422
No, we don't believe that. we believe that every word
00:05:12.488 --> 00:05:14.457
We believe that every word is inspired.
00:05:14.524 --> 00:05:16.426
Is inspired. jesus said, "think not i am come
00:05:16.492 --> 00:05:19.095
Jesus said, "think not i am come to destroy the law.
00:05:19.162 --> 00:05:20.163
To destroy the law. i am not come to destroy,
00:05:20.229 --> 00:05:21.864
I am not come to destroy, i am come to fulfill."
00:05:21.931 --> 00:05:22.765
I am come to fulfill." now that's what he did.
00:05:22.832 --> 00:05:23.900
Now that's what he did. we are not under law because the
00:05:23.966 --> 00:05:25.802
We are not under law because the law has been destroyed.
00:05:25.868 --> 00:05:26.936
Law has been destroyed. no, we are not under law because
00:05:27.003 --> 00:05:29.038
No, we are not under law because christ fulfilled the law and
00:05:29.105 --> 00:05:31.307
Christ fulfilled the law and brought us all under grace.
00:05:31.374 --> 00:05:33.342
Brought us all under grace. can i have a good amen?
00:05:33.409 --> 00:05:34.877
Can i have a good amen? but he says that, i tell you
00:05:34.944 --> 00:05:36.479
But he says that, i tell you this, not one yod.
00:05:36.546 --> 00:05:39.081
This, not one yod. the smallest, like a comma, the
00:05:39.148 --> 00:05:41.083
The smallest, like a comma, the smallest letter in the hebrew
00:05:41.150 --> 00:05:43.486
Smallest letter in the hebrew alphabet is a yod.
00:05:43.553 --> 00:05:45.455
Alphabet is a yod. as small like a comma.
00:05:45.521 --> 00:05:47.190
As small like a comma. jesus said, not one yod
00:05:47.256 --> 00:05:49.492
Jesus said, not one yod or one tittle.
00:05:49.559 --> 00:05:50.460
Or one tittle. tittle is the crown in a letter
00:05:50.526 --> 00:05:52.195
Tittle is the crown in a letter of the hebrew alphabet.
00:05:52.261 --> 00:05:54.564
Of the hebrew alphabet. not one yod or one tittle will
00:05:54.630 --> 00:05:56.265
Not one yod or one tittle will pass away till all these things
00:05:56.332 --> 00:05:58.201
Pass away till all these things be fulfilled.
00:05:58.267 --> 00:05:59.669
Be fulfilled. so everything points to jesus.
00:05:59.735 --> 00:06:02.038
So everything points to jesus. i'll give you an example.
00:06:02.104 --> 00:06:03.406
I'll give you an example. one time the pharisees and the
00:06:03.473 --> 00:06:05.141
One time the pharisees and the sadducees they came to test
00:06:05.208 --> 00:06:07.944
Sadducees they came to test jesus, to tempt him.
00:06:08.010 --> 00:06:10.379
Jesus, to tempt him. the sadducees don't believe in
00:06:10.446 --> 00:06:12.081
The sadducees don't believe in the resurrection, the pharisees,
00:06:12.148 --> 00:06:13.783
The resurrection, the pharisees, they believe in
00:06:13.850 --> 00:06:14.617
They believe in the resurrection.
00:06:14.684 --> 00:06:15.785
The resurrection. but they are sticklers for using
00:06:15.852 --> 00:06:17.720
But they are sticklers for using the law to condemn people.
00:06:17.787 --> 00:06:20.122
The law to condemn people. the strict adherence to the
00:06:20.189 --> 00:06:21.524
The strict adherence to the outward form of the law instead
00:06:21.591 --> 00:06:23.493
Outward form of the law instead of seeing god's grace and love.
00:06:23.559 --> 00:06:25.495
Of seeing god's grace and love. so the sadducees don't believe
00:06:25.561 --> 00:06:26.496
So the sadducees don't believe in resurrection.
00:06:26.562 --> 00:06:27.563
In resurrection. and the two groups came to
00:06:27.630 --> 00:06:28.698
And the two groups came to tempt jesus.
00:06:28.764 --> 00:06:29.599
Tempt jesus. it's one time they gang
00:06:29.665 --> 00:06:30.299
It's one time they gang up together.
00:06:30.366 --> 00:06:30.833
Up together. they are actually at odds
00:06:30.900 --> 00:06:31.634
They are actually at odds against each other.
00:06:31.701 --> 00:06:33.002
Against each other. so they came one time and then
00:06:33.069 --> 00:06:34.337
So they came one time and then the sadducees questioned jesus
00:06:34.403 --> 00:06:36.606
The sadducees questioned jesus about the resurrection saying
00:06:36.672 --> 00:06:37.707
About the resurrection saying that a man had a wife and then
00:06:37.773 --> 00:06:40.042
That a man had a wife and then what happened was that there
00:06:40.109 --> 00:06:41.511
What happened was that there were seven brothers.
00:06:41.577 --> 00:06:42.612
Were seven brothers. this man died and then his
00:06:42.678 --> 00:06:43.813
This man died and then his brother married the wife.
00:06:43.880 --> 00:06:45.047
Brother married the wife. and then this man died.
00:06:45.114 --> 00:06:46.215
And then this man died. and then in heaven one day,
00:06:46.282 --> 00:06:47.383
And then in heaven one day, whose wife will it be?
00:06:47.450 --> 00:06:48.251
Whose wife will it be? something comes from
00:06:48.317 --> 00:06:48.918
Something comes from crazy notions.
00:06:48.985 --> 00:06:49.752
Crazy notions. today people ask the same
00:06:49.819 --> 00:06:50.720
Today people ask the same questions, right?
00:06:50.786 --> 00:06:52.221
Questions, right? when they want to challenge you.
00:06:52.288 --> 00:06:54.390
When they want to challenge you. so let me just tell you this.
00:06:54.457 --> 00:06:56.993
So let me just tell you this. look at the way jesus answered.
00:06:57.059 --> 00:06:59.161
Look at the way jesus answered. jesus said these words.
00:06:59.228 --> 00:07:01.297
But," jesus answered and said,
00:07:01.364 --> 00:07:03.299
But," jesus answered and said, "concerning the resurrection of
00:07:03.366 --> 00:07:04.500
"concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read."
00:07:04.567 --> 00:07:07.570
The dead, have you not read." i tell you this, i believe that
00:07:07.637 --> 00:07:09.639
Most of our problems is because
00:07:09.705 --> 00:07:11.674
Most of our problems is because we have not read.
00:07:11.741 --> 00:07:15.044
We have not read. how many times in the bible,
00:07:15.111 --> 00:07:16.145
How many times in the bible, jesus said, have you not read?
00:07:16.212 --> 00:07:18.314
Jesus said, have you not read? have you not read?
00:07:18.381 --> 00:07:19.749
Have you not read? do you not know the scriptures
00:07:19.815 --> 00:07:20.883
Do you not know the scriptures that say?
00:07:20.950 --> 00:07:21.817
That say? amen.
00:07:21.884 --> 00:07:22.418
Amen. when the devil came to tempt
00:07:22.485 --> 00:07:23.586
When the devil came to tempt jesus in the wilderness, jesus
00:07:23.653 --> 00:07:25.288
Jesus in the wilderness, jesus answered with, it is written,
00:07:25.354 --> 00:07:26.822
Answered with, it is written, it is written, it is written.
00:07:26.889 --> 00:07:27.990
It is written, it is written. and he is the son of god.
00:07:28.057 --> 00:07:29.058
And he is the son of god. and yet he used the word,
00:07:29.125 --> 00:07:31.327
And yet he used the word, "it is written,"
00:07:31.394 --> 00:07:32.128
"it is written," not it is spoken.
00:07:32.194 --> 00:07:34.130
Many a time, people don't read
00:07:34.196 --> 00:07:35.031
Many a time, people don't read the bible so they don't know
00:07:35.097 --> 00:07:36.832
The bible so they don't know the truth.
00:07:36.899 --> 00:07:37.433
The truth. "what was spoken to you
00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:38.100
"what was spoken to you by god saying,"
00:07:38.167 --> 00:07:38.701
By god saying," now this is god
00:07:38.768 --> 00:07:40.002
Now this is god speaking to moses at the
00:07:40.069 --> 00:07:41.804
Speaking to moses at the burning bush.
00:07:41.871 --> 00:07:42.672
Burning bush. "'i am the god of abraham,
00:07:42.738 --> 00:07:44.273
"'i am the god of abraham, the god of isaac, and the god
00:07:44.340 --> 00:07:46.075
The god of isaac, and the god of jacob'?
00:07:46.142 --> 00:07:46.676
Of jacob'? god is not the god of the dead,
00:07:46.742 --> 00:07:48.110
God is not the god of the dead, but of the living.
00:07:48.177 --> 00:07:50.112
But of the living. and when the multitudes heard
00:07:50.179 --> 00:07:50.980
And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at
00:07:51.047 --> 00:07:51.981
This, they were astonished at his teaching."
00:07:52.048 --> 00:07:52.848
His teaching." now, how does that answer
00:07:52.915 --> 00:07:54.083
Now, how does that answer the question?
00:07:54.150 --> 00:07:55.585
The question? is there resurrection
00:07:55.651 --> 00:07:56.752
Is there resurrection of the dead?
00:07:56.819 --> 00:07:58.821
Of the dead? he says that have you not read
00:07:58.888 --> 00:08:00.523
He says that have you not read in the bible?
00:08:00.590 --> 00:08:01.223
In the bible? it says, god says, "i am the god
00:08:01.290 --> 00:08:03.159
It says, god says, "i am the god of abraham."
00:08:03.225 --> 00:08:03.859
Of abraham." notice everything that he says
00:08:03.926 --> 00:08:06.796
Notice everything that he says hinges on this word, am.
00:08:06.862 --> 00:08:09.098
Hinges on this word, am. i am.
00:08:09.165 --> 00:08:11.100
I am. god did not say, i was the god
00:08:11.167 --> 00:08:12.501
God did not say, i was the god of abraham, isaac, and jacob.
00:08:12.568 --> 00:08:14.770
Abraham, isaac, and jacob
00:08:14.837 --> 00:08:16.205
Abraham, isaac, and jacob have lived in the past.
00:08:16.272 --> 00:08:17.740
Have lived in the past. but god did not say, i was
00:08:17.807 --> 00:08:18.741
But god did not say, i was their god.
00:08:18.808 --> 00:08:19.642
Their god. god says, i am their god.
00:08:19.709 --> 00:08:20.876
God says, i am their god. in other words, they are still
00:08:20.943 --> 00:08:22.044
In other words, they are still alive somewhere in heaven and i
00:08:22.111 --> 00:08:24.113
Alive somewhere in heaven and i am still their god.
00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:27.083
Am still their god. anokhi elohe avika, "i am the
00:08:27.149 --> 00:08:31.220
Anokhi elohe avika, "i am the god of your father" at the
00:08:31.287 --> 00:08:32.321
God of your father" at the burning bush.
00:08:32.388 --> 00:08:33.756
Burning bush. elohe avraham, elohe yishak,
00:08:33.823 --> 00:08:36.993
Elohe avraham, elohe yishak, ve elohe yaakov.
00:08:37.059 --> 00:08:38.527
Ve elohe yaakov. i am.
00:08:38.594 --> 00:08:39.762
I am. just one word in the hebrew,
00:08:39.829 --> 00:08:42.064
Just one word in the hebrew, one word here.
00:08:42.131 --> 00:08:43.833
One word here. i am.
00:08:43.899 --> 00:08:45.501
I am. jesus argues from
00:08:45.568 --> 00:08:46.636
Jesus argues from the word of god based on
00:08:46.702 --> 00:08:48.738
The word of god based on just one word.
00:08:48.804 --> 00:08:50.973
Just one word. and none of the sadducees or
00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:52.842
And none of the sadducees or the pharisees says, hey, you're
00:08:52.908 --> 00:08:54.176
The pharisees says, hey, you're arguing from one word.
00:08:54.243 --> 00:08:56.145
Arguing from one word. don't you know the bible is
00:08:56.212 --> 00:08:57.380
Don't you know the bible is poetic expression?
00:08:57.446 --> 00:08:58.981
Poetic expression? you cannot argue from a word.
00:08:59.048 --> 00:09:01.083
You cannot argue from a word. no, the word of god, every word
00:09:01.150 --> 00:09:03.419
No, the word of god, every word is inspired.
00:09:03.486 --> 00:09:04.854
Is inspired. god did not say, i was.
00:09:04.920 --> 00:09:07.523
God did not say, i was. god says abraham, isaac, and
00:09:07.590 --> 00:09:09.158
God says abraham, isaac, and jacob is still alive and i am
00:09:09.225 --> 00:09:10.593
Jacob is still alive and i am their god.
00:09:10.660 --> 00:09:13.429
Their god. i am their god.
00:09:13.496 --> 00:09:14.330
I am their god. are you with me so far?
00:09:14.397 --> 00:09:16.332
Are you with me so far? look at the apostle paul when he
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.701
Look at the apostle paul when he wrote the book of galatians.
00:09:18.768 --> 00:09:20.302
Wrote the book of galatians. he argued from this.
00:09:20.369 --> 00:09:21.804
He argued from this. you know, the jewish people say
00:09:21.871 --> 00:09:22.838
You know, the jewish people say that we are the seed of abraham
00:09:22.905 --> 00:09:25.441
That we are the seed of abraham and paul says, yes, no doubt you
00:09:25.508 --> 00:09:26.909
And paul says, yes, no doubt you are the physical descendants
00:09:26.976 --> 00:09:28.811
Are the physical descendants of abraham.
00:09:28.878 --> 00:09:29.979
Of abraham. but god has a seed and when god
00:09:30.046 --> 00:09:31.747
But god has a seed and when god gave promises to abraham and his
00:09:31.814 --> 00:09:33.783
Gave promises to abraham and his seed, this is what god says,
00:09:33.849 --> 00:09:36.018
Seed, this is what god says, "now to abraham and his seed
00:09:36.085 --> 00:09:37.920
"now to abraham and his seed were the promises made.
00:09:37.987 --> 00:09:39.755
Were the promises made. he does not say, 'and to seeds,'
00:09:39.822 --> 00:09:43.559
He does not say, 'and to seeds,' as of plural, many, but as of
00:09:43.626 --> 00:09:46.162
As of plural, many, but as of one, 'and to your seed,' who
00:09:46.228 --> 00:09:49.165
One, 'and to your seed,' who is christ."
00:09:49.231 --> 00:09:50.199
Is christ." he argues from one letter now.
00:09:50.266 --> 00:09:54.503
He argues from one letter now. hello?
00:09:54.570 --> 00:09:56.072
Hello? seeds is plural with an s.
00:09:56.138 --> 00:09:59.642
Seeds is plural with an s. seed is singular.
00:09:59.709 --> 00:10:01.243
Seed is singular. an argument from a letter.
00:10:01.310 --> 00:10:06.215
An argument from a letter. and who is that seed?
00:10:06.282 --> 00:10:08.918
And who is that seed? christ.
00:10:08.984 --> 00:10:10.219
Christ. in other words, all of us
00:10:10.286 --> 00:10:11.454
In other words, all of us inherit the blessings
00:10:11.520 --> 00:10:12.722
Inherit the blessings of abraham.
00:10:12.788 --> 00:10:14.223
Of abraham. because the bible says, if you
00:10:14.290 --> 00:10:15.491
Because the bible says, if you believe in christ, you are
00:10:15.558 --> 00:10:16.559
Believe in christ, you are abraham's seed.
00:10:16.625 --> 00:10:18.794
Abraham's seed. are you listening people?
00:10:18.861 --> 00:10:20.296
Are you listening people? an argument based on one letter.
00:10:20.362 --> 00:10:24.033
An argument based on one letter. that's why we believe in the
00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:25.334
That's why we believe in the verbal inspiration of scripture.
00:10:25.401 --> 00:10:27.069
Verbal inspiration of scripture. can i have a good amen.
00:10:27.136 --> 00:10:29.605
Can i have a good amen. and when you spend time in the
00:10:29.672 --> 00:10:31.040
And when you spend time in the word, whether you have a daily
00:10:31.107 --> 00:10:32.241
Word, whether you have a daily devotional, i recommend my daily
00:10:32.308 --> 00:10:34.076
Devotional, i recommend my daily devotional because i know what
00:10:34.143 --> 00:10:35.311
Devotional because i know what i teach.
00:10:35.377 --> 00:10:36.045
I teach. amen.
00:10:36.112 --> 00:10:37.446
Amen. but there are many good
00:10:37.513 --> 00:10:38.414
But there are many good daily devotional.
00:10:38.481 --> 00:10:39.982
Daily devotional. but if you do a daily
00:10:40.049 --> 00:10:40.883
But if you do a daily devotional, look at the passage
00:10:40.950 --> 00:10:41.884
Devotional, look at the passage of scripture and read it up.
00:10:41.951 --> 00:10:43.819
Of scripture and read it up. when i have my bible and i write
00:10:43.886 --> 00:10:45.855
When i have my bible and i write down in my bible, i can just
00:10:45.921 --> 00:10:48.157
Down in my bible, i can just turn around and i see
00:10:48.224 --> 00:10:49.125
Turn around and i see revelations here.
00:10:49.191 --> 00:10:50.159
Revelations here. i'm looking at this verse but i
00:10:50.226 --> 00:10:51.227
I'm looking at this verse but i see the verse over here.
00:10:51.293 --> 00:10:52.828
See the verse over here. and something that speaks to me.
00:10:52.895 --> 00:10:54.296
And something that speaks to me. you know, like, it's nothing
00:10:54.363 --> 00:10:55.498
You know, like, it's nothing like the hard copy here.
00:10:55.564 --> 00:10:56.665
Like the hard copy here. i just tell you what i do, okay?
00:10:56.732 --> 00:10:58.300
I just tell you what i do, okay? i have a white margin bible.
00:10:58.367 --> 00:11:00.503
I have a white margin bible. that means on the sides here is
00:11:00.569 --> 00:11:02.538
That means on the sides here is a white margin for me to write
00:11:02.605 --> 00:11:04.073
A white margin for me to write down my own notes.
00:11:04.140 --> 00:11:05.307
Down my own notes. there are a lot of bibles out
00:11:05.374 --> 00:11:06.375
There are a lot of bibles out there with other people's, other
00:11:06.442 --> 00:11:07.777
There with other people's, other scholars' notes.
00:11:07.843 --> 00:11:09.044
Scholars' notes. but again, some scholars, to
00:11:09.111 --> 00:11:10.279
But again, some scholars, to tell you the truth, some of them
00:11:10.346 --> 00:11:11.881
Tell you the truth, some of them are biased against healing.
00:11:11.947 --> 00:11:14.283
Are biased against healing. some are biased against the
00:11:14.350 --> 00:11:15.351
Some are biased against the gifts of the spirit.
00:11:15.417 --> 00:11:16.986
Gifts of the spirit. so they are not true in
00:11:17.052 --> 00:11:19.421
So they are not true in those areas.
00:11:19.488 --> 00:11:20.222
Those areas. they will say that the gifts
00:11:20.289 --> 00:11:21.023
They will say that the gifts have ceased.
00:11:21.090 --> 00:11:22.625
Have ceased. so i like to allow god to speak
00:11:22.691 --> 00:11:24.894
So i like to allow god to speak to me.
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.262
To me. amen.
00:11:26.328 --> 00:11:27.129
Amen. so i have my own notes
00:11:27.196 --> 00:11:27.997
So i have my own notes on the side.
00:11:28.063 --> 00:11:28.597
On the side. so let me give you an example
00:11:28.664 --> 00:11:30.065
So let me give you an example of my white margin bible.
00:11:30.132 --> 00:11:31.500
Of my white margin bible. actually, when i wrote this
00:11:31.567 --> 00:11:32.568
Actually, when i wrote this down, it has cancellation and
00:11:32.635 --> 00:11:34.003
Down, it has cancellation and all that.
00:11:34.069 --> 00:11:34.537
All that. it's very bad handwriting so
00:11:34.603 --> 00:11:36.038
It's very bad handwriting so forgive me.
00:11:36.105 --> 00:11:37.106
Forgive me. i want to show you this.
00:11:37.173 --> 00:11:38.474
I want to show you this. but when i wrote it, i didn't
00:11:38.541 --> 00:11:40.709
But when i wrote it, i didn't expect i would be using it.
00:11:40.776 --> 00:11:42.378
Expect i would be using it. it was my own consumption.
00:11:42.444 --> 00:11:44.380
It was my own consumption. so this is very personal, okay,
00:11:44.446 --> 00:11:45.514
So this is very personal, okay, so don't laugh.
00:11:45.581 --> 00:11:46.649
So don't laugh. there you laugh.
00:11:46.715 --> 00:11:47.950
There you laugh. i haven't shown you,
00:11:48.017 --> 00:11:48.884
I haven't shown you, you laugh already.
00:11:48.951 --> 00:11:49.819
You laugh already. okay, this is my bible.
00:11:49.885 --> 00:11:51.821
Okay, this is my bible. white margin bible.
00:11:51.887 --> 00:11:52.655
White margin bible. so there's a white margin on
00:11:52.721 --> 00:11:54.223
So there's a white margin on the side, right?
00:11:54.290 --> 00:11:55.357
The side, right? so chapter 6 says, "...on that
00:11:55.424 --> 00:11:56.759
So chapter 6 says, "...on that night could not the king sleep,
00:11:56.826 --> 00:11:58.093
Night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the
00:11:58.160 --> 00:11:59.261
And he commanded to bring the book of records of the
00:11:59.328 --> 00:12:00.496
Book of records of the chronicles, and they were read
00:12:00.563 --> 00:12:01.964
Chronicles, and they were read before the king."
00:12:02.031 --> 00:12:02.932
Before the king." i want to show you some
00:12:02.998 --> 00:12:03.899
I want to show you some practical handles on how
00:12:03.966 --> 00:12:05.234
Practical handles on how to study the word of god.
00:12:05.301 --> 00:12:07.436
To study the word of god. so that night, the king could
00:12:07.503 --> 00:12:08.637
So that night, the king could not sleep.
00:12:08.704 --> 00:12:09.705
Not sleep. so can you see what i wrote?
00:12:09.772 --> 00:12:11.740
So can you see what i wrote? "when we cannot sleep, while in
00:12:11.807 --> 00:12:13.742
"when we cannot sleep, while in the night seasons of our life,
00:12:13.809 --> 00:12:16.245
The night seasons of our life, take god's book of records."
00:12:16.312 --> 00:12:18.280
Take god's book of records." how many know there's
00:12:18.347 --> 00:12:19.915
How many know there's a memorial here?
00:12:19.982 --> 00:12:21.016
A memorial here? david killing goliath and a lot
00:12:21.083 --> 00:12:22.685
David killing goliath and a lot of memorials.
00:12:22.751 --> 00:12:23.519
Of memorials. and then when you can't sleep,
00:12:23.586 --> 00:12:25.120
And then when you can't sleep, not only in the night seasons,
00:12:25.187 --> 00:12:26.522
Not only in the night seasons, when you're going through a bad
00:12:26.589 --> 00:12:27.857
When you're going through a bad season, a trial, that's called
00:12:27.923 --> 00:12:29.859
Season, a trial, that's called the night season.
00:12:29.925 --> 00:12:30.726
The night season. but literally, you can't sleep
00:12:30.793 --> 00:12:32.027
But literally, you can't sleep at night, read the bible.
00:12:32.094 --> 00:12:35.464
At night, read the bible. amen.
00:12:35.531 --> 00:12:36.999
Amen. and read god's book of
00:12:37.066 --> 00:12:38.033
And read god's book of chronicles, maybe even the book
00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:39.235
Chronicles, maybe even the book of chronicles.
00:12:39.301 --> 00:12:40.002
Of chronicles. there's a book of chronicles.
00:12:40.069 --> 00:12:43.505
There's a book of chronicles. and read it.
00:12:43.572 --> 00:12:44.740
And read it. there's a cancellation
00:12:44.807 --> 00:12:45.541
There's a cancellation down there.
00:12:45.608 --> 00:12:46.242
Down there. so we will see jesus.
00:12:46.308 --> 00:12:47.643
So we will see jesus. number one, in the bible,
00:12:47.710 --> 00:12:48.777
Number one, in the bible, we want to see jesus.
00:12:48.844 --> 00:12:50.145
We want to see jesus. now who is jesus in the book
00:12:50.212 --> 00:12:51.247
Now who is jesus in the book of esther?
00:12:51.313 --> 00:12:52.414
Of esther? mordecai.
00:12:52.481 --> 00:12:53.883
Mordecai. mordecai is the leader of the
00:12:53.949 --> 00:12:55.017
Mordecai is the leader of the jews and he is the one that god
00:12:55.084 --> 00:12:56.518
Jews and he is the one that god used to deliver the people
00:12:56.585 --> 00:12:58.087
Used to deliver the people of israel.
00:12:58.153 --> 00:12:59.455
Of israel. so mordecai, literally his name
00:12:59.521 --> 00:13:01.323
So mordecai, literally his name is little man as opposed to
00:13:01.390 --> 00:13:04.126
Is little man as opposed to haman, the prime
00:13:04.193 --> 00:13:05.561
Haman, the prime minister, right?
00:13:05.628 --> 00:13:06.562
Minister, right? who is the illustrious one.
00:13:06.629 --> 00:13:09.365
The prime minister of the king,
00:13:09.431 --> 00:13:13.035
The prime minister of the king, who was hell-bent on killing
00:13:13.102 --> 00:13:14.904
Who was hell-bent on killing the jews.
00:13:14.970 --> 00:13:17.373
The jews. and after this, the king
00:13:17.439 --> 00:13:18.574
And after this, the king realized that mordecai actually
00:13:18.641 --> 00:13:21.343
Saved his life.
00:13:21.410 --> 00:13:22.611
Saved his life. mordecai heard two guys, his
00:13:22.678 --> 00:13:26.115
Mordecai heard two guys, his bodyguards, actually plan to
00:13:26.181 --> 00:13:28.250
Bodyguards, actually plan to kill him, kill the king.
00:13:28.317 --> 00:13:30.419
Kill him, kill the king. and mordecai heard about it,
00:13:30.486 --> 00:13:31.353
And mordecai heard about it, told someone who told the king
00:13:31.420 --> 00:13:33.522
Told someone who told the king and they had those two arrested
00:13:33.589 --> 00:13:35.024
And they had those two arrested and killed.
00:13:35.090 --> 00:13:36.025
And killed. and the record of mordecai was
00:13:36.091 --> 00:13:37.860
And the record of mordecai was written in the
00:13:37.927 --> 00:13:38.627
Written in the book of chronicles but he
00:13:38.694 --> 00:13:39.495
Book of chronicles but he was never rewarded.
00:13:39.561 --> 00:13:41.063
Was never rewarded. so during this time when he
00:13:41.130 --> 00:13:41.864
So during this time when he can't sleep, he asked for the
00:13:41.931 --> 00:13:42.998
Can't sleep, he asked for the book of chronicles to be read to
00:13:43.065 --> 00:13:44.533
Book of chronicles to be read to him and it came to the part
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:45.601
Him and it came to the part where mordecai did this for the
00:13:45.668 --> 00:13:46.769
Where mordecai did this for the king and the king says, what
00:13:46.835 --> 00:13:48.103
King and the king says, what has been done for this man?
00:13:48.170 --> 00:13:49.738
Has been done for this man? and it says here, i say that
00:13:49.805 --> 00:13:51.740
And it says here, i say that because of that, they say that
00:13:51.807 --> 00:13:52.975
Because of that, they say that nothing has been done for him
00:13:53.042 --> 00:13:54.043
Nothing has been done for him and the king says,
00:13:54.109 --> 00:13:54.743
And the king says, you know what?
00:13:54.810 --> 00:13:55.311
You know what? tomorrow, put him on my best
00:13:55.377 --> 00:13:56.812
Tomorrow, put him on my best horse, like his best ferrari,
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:58.681
Horse, like his best ferrari, you know what i'm saying?
00:13:58.747 --> 00:13:59.581
You know what i'm saying? all right, put my clothes on
00:13:59.648 --> 00:14:01.650
All right, put my clothes on him and march him down the
00:14:01.717 --> 00:14:03.185
Him and march him down the street and say, such a man
00:14:03.252 --> 00:14:04.453
Street and say, such a man will be honored.
00:14:04.520 --> 00:14:05.087
Will be honored. this is how the king honors such
00:14:05.154 --> 00:14:06.221
This is how the king honors such a man, all right?
00:14:06.288 --> 00:14:07.256
A man, all right? so i write down there, "and will
00:14:07.323 --> 00:14:09.258
So i write down there, "and will remember to give him the honor,
00:14:09.325 --> 00:14:10.859
Remember to give him the honor, give jesus in other words,
00:14:10.926 --> 00:14:12.094
Give jesus in other words, the honor and dignity that
00:14:12.161 --> 00:14:13.228
The honor and dignity that he deserves."
00:14:13.295 --> 00:14:14.363
He deserves." now i wrote this down, "a
00:14:14.430 --> 00:14:15.597
Now i wrote this down, "a sleepless night plus reading the
00:14:15.664 --> 00:14:17.499
Sleepless night plus reading the book equals turn around."
00:14:17.566 --> 00:14:21.036
Book equals turn around." everything hinges on this.
00:14:21.103 --> 00:14:23.339
Everything hinges on this. everything hinges on this part.
00:14:23.405 --> 00:14:25.407
Everything hinges on this part. so when i wrote it down,
00:14:25.474 --> 00:14:27.009
So when i wrote it down, honestly, i didn't plan to
00:14:27.076 --> 00:14:28.243
Honestly, i didn't plan to preach on it, right?
00:14:28.310 --> 00:14:30.846
Preach on it, right? but as i was preparing myself,
00:14:30.913 --> 00:14:32.781
But as i was preparing myself, i felt the lord tell me to tell
00:14:32.848 --> 00:14:34.650
I felt the lord tell me to tell you because you are my flock,
00:14:34.717 --> 00:14:38.587
You because you are my flock, in a sense.
00:14:38.654 --> 00:14:39.321
In a sense. i'm your under shepherd.
00:14:39.388 --> 00:14:40.723
I'm your under shepherd. amen.
00:14:40.789 --> 00:14:41.323
Amen. i think the flock should copy
00:14:41.390 --> 00:14:42.458
I think the flock should copy the pastor.
00:14:42.524 --> 00:14:44.827
The pastor. amen.
00:14:44.893 --> 00:14:45.794
Amen. have your own bible that you can
00:14:45.861 --> 00:14:47.663
Have your own bible that you can write your notes.
00:14:47.730 --> 00:14:48.497
Write your notes. every time you have a pen ready
00:14:48.564 --> 00:14:49.598
Every time you have a pen ready to stand by and you have a white
00:14:49.665 --> 00:14:51.233
To stand by and you have a white margin bible and you just read
00:14:51.300 --> 00:14:52.534
Margin bible and you just read the word and every time god
00:14:52.601 --> 00:14:53.602
The word and every time god shows you is something,
00:14:53.669 --> 00:14:54.536
Shows you is something, it's your own revelation.
00:14:54.603 --> 00:14:55.437
It's your own revelation. so you know, the pen down there
00:14:55.504 --> 00:14:57.006
So you know, the pen down there is faith in god, isn't it?
00:14:57.072 --> 00:14:58.707
Is faith in god, isn't it? you're telling god, i know you
00:14:58.774 --> 00:14:59.675
You're telling god, i know you will speak to me.
00:14:59.742 --> 00:15:00.909
Will speak to me. and then you start writing down
00:15:00.976 --> 00:15:01.910
And then you start writing down and you never know in the future
00:15:01.977 --> 00:15:03.912
And you never know in the future how many times those notes of
00:15:03.979 --> 00:15:05.681
How many times those notes of yours were minister to you.
00:15:05.748 --> 00:15:08.017
Yours were minister to you. how many felt you were
00:15:08.083 --> 00:15:08.751
How many felt you were ministered by this evening?
00:15:08.817 --> 00:15:10.652
Ministered by this evening? all right, and that's a sermon
00:15:10.719 --> 00:15:11.754
All right, and that's a sermon by itself.
00:15:11.820 --> 00:15:12.955
By itself. a sleepless night plus reading
00:15:13.022 --> 00:15:14.757
A sleepless night plus reading the book equals what?
00:15:14.823 --> 00:15:17.359
The book equals what? turn around.
00:15:17.426 --> 00:15:19.028
Turn around. everything in the story hinges
00:15:19.094 --> 00:15:20.295
Everything in the story hinges on this.
00:15:20.362 --> 00:15:21.330
On this. everything in the story hinges
00:15:21.397 --> 00:15:22.698
Everything in the story hinges on this.
00:15:22.765 --> 00:15:24.767
On this. so i know some of you literally
00:15:24.833 --> 00:15:27.136
So i know some of you literally cannot sleep.
00:15:27.202 --> 00:15:29.104
Cannot sleep. literally at night.
00:15:29.171 --> 00:15:30.873
Literally at night. amen?
00:15:30.939 --> 00:15:31.407
Amen? why not literally read?
00:15:31.473 --> 00:15:33.575
Why not literally read? amen?
00:15:33.642 --> 00:15:35.811
Amen? get up, read, read the word.
00:15:35.878 --> 00:15:38.680
Get up, read, read the word. can i have a good amen?
00:15:38.747 --> 00:15:39.915
Can i have a good amen? praise the lord.

So i just want to tell you that the word of god is such

The word of god is such a precious word.
00:15:43.485 --> 00:15:44.386
A precious word. it unveils jesus christ,
00:15:44.453 --> 00:15:45.521
It unveils jesus christ, that's number one.
00:15:45.587 --> 00:15:47.022
That's number one. and i just want to tell you
00:15:47.089 --> 00:15:49.091
And i just want to tell you that that's how lives
00:15:49.158 --> 00:15:50.059
That that's how lives are transformed.
00:15:50.125 --> 00:15:51.026
Are transformed. can i have a good amen?
00:15:51.093 --> 00:15:51.994
Can i have a good amen? i want to read to you
00:15:52.061 --> 00:15:52.895
I want to read to you a testimony right now from
00:15:52.961 --> 00:15:54.563
A testimony right now from this lady in germany.
00:15:54.630 --> 00:15:56.899
This lady in germany. she says, this came in
00:15:56.965 --> 00:15:59.768
She says, this came in this year.
00:15:59.835 --> 00:16:00.369
This year. i was diagnosed with
00:16:00.436 --> 00:16:01.804
I was diagnosed with streptococcus infection,
00:16:01.870 --> 00:16:03.439
Streptococcus infection, a bacteria that causes disorders
00:16:03.505 --> 00:16:05.974
A bacteria that causes disorders such as strep throat, pneumonia,
00:16:06.041 --> 00:16:08.143
Such as strep throat, pneumonia, and bloodstream infection.
00:16:08.210 --> 00:16:09.545
And bloodstream infection. and i experienced unbearable
00:16:09.611 --> 00:16:11.580
And i experienced unbearable pain in my head, hands,
00:16:11.647 --> 00:16:13.549
Pain in my head, hands, and feet.
00:16:13.615 --> 00:16:14.817
And feet. i visited multiple hospitals 14
00:16:14.883 --> 00:16:16.819
I visited multiple hospitals 14 times within two years and was
00:16:16.885 --> 00:16:18.587
Times within two years and was prescribed antibiotics and other
00:16:18.654 --> 00:16:21.056
Prescribed antibiotics and other heavy medication.
00:16:21.123 --> 00:16:22.524
Heavy medication. the fever would go away for a
00:16:22.591 --> 00:16:23.826
The fever would go away for a while but not the pain.
00:16:23.892 --> 00:16:25.060
While but not the pain. then i was given morphine
00:16:25.127 --> 00:16:26.495
Then i was given morphine because no other pain killers
00:16:26.562 --> 00:16:27.696
Because no other pain killers would help me.
00:16:27.763 --> 00:16:28.630
Would help me. after two years of treatment
00:16:28.697 --> 00:16:29.665
After two years of treatment with no results, the doctors
00:16:29.731 --> 00:16:30.833
With no results, the doctors told me they could not help
00:16:30.899 --> 00:16:31.733
Told me they could not help me anymore.
00:16:31.800 --> 00:16:32.501
Me anymore. i lost all hope.
00:16:32.568 --> 00:16:34.269
I lost all hope. at that time, i was told i was
00:16:34.336 --> 00:16:35.637
At that time, i was told i was sick because god was either
00:16:35.704 --> 00:16:36.805
Sick because god was either teaching me a lesson or it was
00:16:36.872 --> 00:16:38.807
Teaching me a lesson or it was a consequence of the sins
00:16:38.874 --> 00:16:39.942
A consequence of the sins i had committed.
00:16:40.008 --> 00:16:41.243
I had committed. year by year, my morphine dosage
00:16:41.310 --> 00:16:43.679
Year by year, my morphine dosage increased until i reached the
00:16:43.745 --> 00:16:44.980
Increased until i reached the maximum dose.
00:16:45.047 --> 00:16:46.281
Maximum dose. i was addicted to morphine and
00:16:46.348 --> 00:16:48.050
I was addicted to morphine and could not lead a normal life.
00:16:48.117 --> 00:16:50.552
Could not lead a normal life. eight years ago, i went to a
00:16:50.619 --> 00:16:51.920
Eight years ago, i went to a rehabilitation center but
00:16:51.987 --> 00:16:53.155
Rehabilitation center but stopped after 14 days as i could
00:16:53.222 --> 00:16:54.823
Stopped after 14 days as i could not stand the terrible
00:16:54.890 --> 00:16:55.791
Not stand the terrible withdrawal symptoms.
00:16:55.858 --> 00:16:57.025
Withdrawal symptoms. the doctors explained to me that
00:16:57.092 --> 00:16:58.494
The doctors explained to me that because morphine is a synthetic
00:16:58.560 --> 00:17:00.429
Because morphine is a synthetic drug, the drug withdrawal
00:17:00.496 --> 00:17:01.797
Drug, the drug withdrawal symptoms would be painful and
00:17:01.864 --> 00:17:03.165
Symptoms would be painful and take longer to go away.
00:17:03.232 --> 00:17:04.900
Take longer to go away. five years later, someone came
00:17:04.967 --> 00:17:06.935
Five years later, someone came to our church and told us to be
00:17:07.002 --> 00:17:08.937
To our church and told us to be wary of a preacher on tv called
00:17:09.004 --> 00:17:11.273
Wary of a preacher on tv called joseph prince.
00:17:11.340 --> 00:17:13.542
Joseph prince. this was in germany.
00:17:13.609 --> 00:17:18.347
This was in germany. so by the way, we are also on in
00:17:18.413 --> 00:17:20.449
So by the way, we are also on in germany, okay?
00:17:20.516 --> 00:17:22.618
Germany, okay? intrigued, this always happens.
00:17:22.684 --> 00:17:25.454
Intrigued, this always happens. intrigued, i started watching
00:17:25.521 --> 00:17:27.222
Intrigued, i started watching pastor prince's sermons secretly
00:17:27.289 --> 00:17:29.124
Pastor prince's sermons secretly with much caution
00:17:29.191 --> 00:17:30.159
With much caution and skepticism.
00:17:30.225 --> 00:17:31.827
And skepticism. so i should thank the preacher,
00:17:31.894 --> 00:17:33.295
So i should thank the preacher, whoever it is.
00:17:33.362 --> 00:17:34.296
Whoever it is. danke.
00:17:34.363 --> 00:17:36.632
Danke. but the more i watched the
00:17:36.698 --> 00:17:37.933
But the more i watched the sermons, the more hopeful and
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.169
Sermons, the more hopeful and free i became.
00:17:40.235 --> 00:17:42.237
Free i became. finally, god's grace completely
00:17:42.304 --> 00:17:44.206
Finally, god's grace completely changed my christian life.
00:17:44.273 --> 00:17:45.841
Changed my christian life. it was a revelation for me to
00:17:45.908 --> 00:17:47.509
It was a revelation for me to learn that there is now no more
00:17:47.576 --> 00:17:49.411
Learn that there is now no more condemnation for those who are
00:17:49.478 --> 00:17:51.280
Condemnation for those who are in christ jesus.
00:17:51.346 --> 00:17:52.281
In christ jesus. hallelujah!
00:17:52.347 --> 00:17:53.515
Hallelujah! since then, i would watch
00:17:53.582 --> 00:17:55.284
Since then, i would watch pastor prince's sermons
00:17:55.350 --> 00:17:56.084
Pastor prince's sermons twice a day.
00:17:56.151 --> 00:17:57.586
Twice a day. i would also partake of
00:17:57.653 --> 00:17:59.254
I would also partake of the lord's supper regularly,
00:17:59.321 --> 00:18:01.056
The lord's supper regularly, believing that by his stripes
00:18:01.123 --> 00:18:02.858
Believing that by his stripes i was healed.
00:18:02.925 --> 00:18:04.493
I was healed. i have also been confessing that
00:18:04.560 --> 00:18:05.794
I have also been confessing that i am the righteousness of god
00:18:05.861 --> 00:18:07.362
I am the righteousness of god in christ daily.
00:18:07.429 --> 00:18:09.064
In christ daily. since last year, after almost
00:18:09.131 --> 00:18:12.801
Since last year, after almost 18 years, just like the woman in
00:18:12.868 --> 00:18:13.802
18 years, just like the woman in the bible, 18 years, bowed down.
00:18:13.869 --> 00:18:16.305
The bible, 18 years, bowed down. after almost 18 years,
00:18:16.371 --> 00:18:18.040
After almost 18 years, i have been set free from
00:18:18.106 --> 00:18:19.107
I have been set free from morphine addiction and pain.
00:18:19.174 --> 00:18:21.143
Morphine addiction and pain. this was completely effortless
00:18:21.210 --> 00:18:23.278
This was completely effortless and i experienced no
00:18:23.345 --> 00:18:24.446
And i experienced no withdrawal symptoms.
00:18:24.513 --> 00:18:27.749
Withdrawal symptoms. hallelujah!
00:18:27.816 --> 00:18:28.317
Hallelujah! to god be the glory!
00:18:28.383 --> 00:18:29.685
To god be the glory! that brings me to the next thing
00:18:29.751 --> 00:18:30.719
That brings me to the next thing when you study the bible, you
00:18:30.786 --> 00:18:32.020
When you study the bible, you have to, the bible says, study
00:18:32.087 --> 00:18:34.289
Have to, the bible says, study to show thyself self approved
00:18:34.356 --> 00:18:35.390
To show thyself self approved unto god rightly dividing
00:18:35.457 --> 00:18:36.825
Unto god rightly dividing the word.
00:18:36.892 --> 00:18:37.359
The word. you have to rightly divide
00:18:37.426 --> 00:18:38.460
You have to rightly divide the word.
00:18:38.527 --> 00:18:39.394
The word. when you read the old testament,
00:18:39.461 --> 00:18:41.063
When you read the old testament, be very careful especially,
00:18:41.129 --> 00:18:42.998
Be very careful especially, when you read the old testament,
00:18:43.065 --> 00:18:43.932
When you read the old testament, there are some direct laws.
00:18:43.999 --> 00:18:45.500
There are some direct laws. i know there are
00:18:45.567 --> 00:18:46.134
I know there are a lot of stories we love
00:18:46.201 --> 00:18:47.035
A lot of stories we love in the old testament but there
00:18:47.102 --> 00:18:48.170
In the old testament but there are also laws down there.
00:18:48.237 --> 00:18:49.304
Are also laws down there. the laws, listen carefully, the
00:18:49.371 --> 00:18:51.473
The laws, listen carefully, the laws itself must be interpreted
00:18:51.540 --> 00:18:53.342
Laws itself must be interpreted in the light of the
00:18:53.408 --> 00:18:54.276
In the light of the new covenant.
00:18:54.343 --> 00:18:55.811
New covenant. we must rightly divide
00:18:55.877 --> 00:18:57.346
We must rightly divide the word of god.
00:18:57.412 --> 00:18:58.814
The word of god. can i have a good amen?
00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:00.716
Can i have a good amen? we are no more under law,
00:19:00.782 --> 00:19:02.251
We are no more under law, we are under grace.
00:19:02.317 --> 00:19:03.819
We are under grace. the law demands, grace supplies,
00:19:03.885 --> 00:19:06.955
The law demands, grace supplies, all right?
00:19:07.022 --> 00:19:07.723
All right? when they didn't obey the law,
00:19:07.789 --> 00:19:09.491
When they didn't obey the law, they died.
00:19:09.558 --> 00:19:11.693
They died. under grace, you don't die.
00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:15.664
Under grace, you don't die. under grace, in fact, you turn
00:19:15.731 --> 00:19:17.566
Under grace, in fact, you turn around and you learn to confess,
00:19:17.633 --> 00:19:19.401
Around and you learn to confess, "i'm the righteous of god
00:19:19.468 --> 00:19:20.402
"i'm the righteous of god in christ."
00:19:20.469 --> 00:19:20.936
In christ." you learn to look to
00:19:21.003 --> 00:19:22.104
You learn to look to jesus alone.
00:19:22.170 --> 00:19:22.938
Jesus alone. and guess what?
00:19:23.005 --> 00:19:23.939
And guess what? what comes back to you is much
00:19:24.006 --> 00:19:25.874
What comes back to you is much more than what you have lost.
00:19:25.941 --> 00:19:30.646
More than what you have lost. grace can--listen, law condemns
00:19:30.712 --> 00:19:34.483
Grace can--listen, law condemns the best of us, grace saves
00:19:34.549 --> 00:19:36.685
The best of us, grace saves the worst of us.
00:19:36.752 --> 00:19:37.853
The worst of us. we have to rightly divide the
00:19:37.919 --> 00:19:39.187
We have to rightly divide the word of god, okay?
00:19:39.254 --> 00:19:41.423
Word of god, okay? now, usually when you read the
00:19:41.490 --> 00:19:42.224
Now, usually when you read the gospels, people think, well,
00:19:42.291 --> 00:19:43.425
Gospels, people think, well, the gospels is all grace.
00:19:43.492 --> 00:19:44.760
The gospels is all grace. yes, jesus is full of grace
00:19:44.826 --> 00:19:46.194
Yes, jesus is full of grace and truth.
00:19:46.261 --> 00:19:47.362
And truth. but jesus said right at the end
00:19:47.429 --> 00:19:49.164
But jesus said right at the end of 3/12 years' ministry,
00:19:49.231 --> 00:19:50.198
Of 3/12 years' ministry, "i have many things to say
00:19:50.265 --> 00:19:51.633
"i have many things to say unto you, but you're not yet
00:19:51.700 --> 00:19:53.435
Unto you, but you're not yet able to receive.
00:19:53.502 --> 00:19:55.137
Able to receive. but when the holy spirit comes,
00:19:55.203 --> 00:19:57.072
But when the holy spirit comes, he will guide you into
00:19:57.139 --> 00:19:58.440
He will guide you into all truth."
00:19:58.507 --> 00:20:00.175
All truth." that tells us that paul's
00:20:00.242 --> 00:20:01.810
That tells us that paul's teachings are not
00:20:01.877 --> 00:20:02.744
Teachings are not paul's teachings.
00:20:02.811 --> 00:20:04.413
Paul's teachings. paul's teachings are the
00:20:04.479 --> 00:20:05.314
Paul's teachings are the teachings of the heavenly
00:20:05.380 --> 00:20:06.515
Teachings of the heavenly christ, the glorified christ at
00:20:06.581 --> 00:20:08.050
Christ, the glorified christ at the father's right hand through
00:20:08.116 --> 00:20:10.352
The father's right hand through apostle paul.
00:20:10.419 --> 00:20:12.054
Apostle paul. and that's why paul, when you
00:20:12.120 --> 00:20:12.854
And that's why paul, when you read the book of pauline
00:20:12.921 --> 00:20:14.256
Read the book of pauline revelation as well as all the
00:20:14.323 --> 00:20:16.325
Revelation as well as all the peter, and all the john, and all
00:20:16.391 --> 00:20:17.959
Peter, and all the john, and all that in new testament, these are
00:20:18.026 --> 00:20:19.394
That in new testament, these are not the words of man, it's the
00:20:19.461 --> 00:20:20.429
Not the words of man, it's the words of god.
00:20:20.495 --> 00:20:22.197
Words of god. now i'm not saying old testament
00:20:22.264 --> 00:20:23.065
Now i'm not saying old testament is not relevant.
00:20:23.131 --> 00:20:23.932
Is not relevant. old testament is very relevant.
00:20:23.999 --> 00:20:24.833
Old testament is very relevant. i showed you last week about
00:20:24.900 --> 00:20:25.901
I showed you last week about "thou shalt not muzzle the ox,"
00:20:25.967 --> 00:20:26.768
"thou shalt not muzzle the ox," how to interpret that, right?
00:20:26.835 --> 00:20:28.804
Remember that?
00:20:28.870 --> 00:20:29.938
Remember that? for example, for the benefit of
00:20:30.005 --> 00:20:32.040
For example, for the benefit of this message, so that it is
00:20:32.107 --> 00:20:33.575
This message, so that it is inclusive in this message.
00:20:33.642 --> 00:20:34.876
Inclusive in this message. for example, in 1 corinthians 9,
00:20:34.943 --> 00:20:36.044
For example, in 1 corinthians 9, it's amazing.
00:20:36.111 --> 00:20:38.113
Paul looks at this law and paul
00:20:38.180 --> 00:20:39.047
Paul looks at this law and paul says, "it is written in the law
00:20:39.114 --> 00:20:39.981
Says, "it is written in the law of moses," in deuteronomy.
00:20:40.048 --> 00:20:41.583
Of moses," in deuteronomy. "you shall not muzzle an ox
00:20:41.650 --> 00:20:43.218
"you shall not muzzle an ox while it threads out the grain."
00:20:43.285 --> 00:20:45.554
While it threads out the grain." so there's a law there, so this
00:20:45.620 --> 00:20:47.189
So there's a law there, so this is the old testament, right?
00:20:47.255 --> 00:20:49.224
Is the old testament, right? so are we to read the
00:20:49.291 --> 00:20:50.125
So are we to read the old testament?
00:20:50.192 --> 00:20:50.692
Old testament? yes!
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:51.226
Yes! there's a benefit there.
00:20:51.293 --> 00:20:52.394
There's a benefit there. so when you read the
00:20:52.461 --> 00:20:53.462
So when you read the old testament, it says, "don't
00:20:53.528 --> 00:20:54.496
Old testament, it says, "don't muzzle the ox when it treads
00:20:54.563 --> 00:20:56.031
Muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain."
00:20:56.098 --> 00:20:58.100
Out the grain." why do they muzzle the ox?
00:20:58.166 --> 00:20:59.201
Why do they muzzle the ox? they don't want the ox to
00:20:59.267 --> 00:21:01.403
They don't want the ox to eat the grain.
00:21:01.470 --> 00:21:02.104
Eat the grain. you should not muzzle an ox
00:21:02.170 --> 00:21:03.171
You should not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.
00:21:03.238 --> 00:21:05.874
While it treads out the grain. "is it oxen god is
00:21:05.941 --> 00:21:08.009
"is it oxen god is concerned about?"
00:21:08.076 --> 00:21:08.577
Concerned about?" the question is asked, when paul
00:21:08.643 --> 00:21:09.745
The question is asked, when paul looks at this law, you should
00:21:09.811 --> 00:21:10.746
Looks at this law, you should not muzzle an ox that threads
00:21:10.812 --> 00:21:11.780
Not muzzle an ox that threads out the grain, he says, is god
00:21:11.847 --> 00:21:14.216
Out the grain, he says, is god concerned about oxen?
00:21:14.282 --> 00:21:16.218
Concerned about oxen? what do you think?
00:21:16.284 --> 00:21:17.185
What do you think? is god concerned about oxen?
00:21:17.252 --> 00:21:18.787
Is god concerned about oxen? no, more than that.
00:21:18.854 --> 00:21:19.755
No, more than that. so listen to this.
00:21:19.821 --> 00:21:20.655
So listen to this. this is the purpose of scripture
00:21:20.722 --> 00:21:22.157
This is the purpose of scripture even in the old testament.
00:21:22.224 --> 00:21:23.859
Even in the old testament. "or does god say it altogether
00:21:23.925 --> 00:21:25.394
"or does god say it altogether for our sakes?"
00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:26.762
For our sakes?" underline that, "altogether."
00:21:26.828 --> 00:21:28.697
Underline that, "altogether." altogether means all
00:21:28.764 --> 00:21:29.297
Altogether means all the scriptures.
00:21:29.364 --> 00:21:30.499
The scriptures. god writes it or documents it
00:21:30.565 --> 00:21:33.802
God writes it or documents it for our sake.
00:21:33.869 --> 00:21:35.971
So that, "those who plow should
00:21:37.439 --> 00:21:39.040
Plow in hope.
00:21:39.107 --> 00:21:40.375
Those who thresh in hope should
00:21:40.442 --> 00:21:41.576
Be partakers of this hope."
00:21:41.643 --> 00:21:44.112
And the last verse says, "if we
00:21:44.913 --> 00:21:46.281
And the last verse says, "if we have sown spiritual things for
00:21:46.348 --> 00:21:48.016
Have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we
00:21:48.083 --> 00:21:49.251
You, is it a great thing if we reap your material things?"
00:21:49.317 --> 00:21:50.585
Reap your material things?" so paul is saying that the ox
00:21:50.652 --> 00:21:52.154
So paul is saying that the ox there is a minister
00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:53.255
There is a minister of god's word.
00:21:53.321 --> 00:21:54.489
Of god's word. amen.
00:21:54.556 --> 00:21:55.023
Amen. he should be amply rewarded.
00:21:55.090 --> 00:21:57.359
He should be amply rewarded. that's also in timothy.
00:21:57.426 --> 00:21:58.493
That's also in timothy. 1 timothy says the same verse,
00:21:58.560 --> 00:22:00.362
1 timothy says the same verse, "thou shalt not muzzle the ox
00:22:00.429 --> 00:22:01.430
"thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treads out the grain."
00:22:01.496 --> 00:22:03.298
That treads out the grain." and a quotation from jesus
00:22:03.365 --> 00:22:04.733
And a quotation from jesus in the gospels.
00:22:04.800 --> 00:22:05.901
In the gospels. "let the laborer be worthy
00:22:05.967 --> 00:22:07.836
"let the laborer be worthy of his wages."
00:22:07.903 --> 00:22:10.038
Of his wages." jesus quoted that.
00:22:10.105 --> 00:22:11.640
Jesus quoted that. that's from jesus.
00:22:11.706 --> 00:22:12.874
That's from jesus. and then he says, "let the
00:22:12.941 --> 00:22:13.675
And then he says, "let the elders who rule well be worthy
00:22:13.742 --> 00:22:16.044
Elders who rule well be worthy of double pay especially those
00:22:16.111 --> 00:22:18.079
Of double pay especially those who labor in the word and
00:22:18.146 --> 00:22:19.014
Who labor in the word and doctrine," all based on one
00:22:19.080 --> 00:22:21.283
Doctrine," all based on one old testament scripture.
00:22:21.349 --> 00:22:26.154
Old testament scripture. amen?
00:22:26.221 --> 00:22:27.088
Amen? so this is amazing that all
00:22:27.155 --> 00:22:29.124
Scripture is written
00:22:29.191 --> 00:22:30.025
Scripture is written for our benefit.
00:22:30.091 --> 00:22:30.625
For our benefit. number one, all scripture is
00:22:30.692 --> 00:22:31.793
Number one, all scripture is written to unveil christ.
00:22:31.860 --> 00:22:34.463
Written to unveil christ. number two, it is not for
00:22:34.529 --> 00:22:36.164
Number two, it is not for the oxen or the animals.
00:22:36.231 --> 00:22:37.165
The oxen or the animals. god prioritizes you first.
00:22:37.232 --> 00:22:38.467
God prioritizes you first. people are the priority, amen.
00:22:38.533 --> 00:22:39.134
