00:00:13.790 --> 00:00:14.691
>> joseph prince: today we celebrate the resurrection of jesus christ, why?
00:00:14.757 --> 00:00:16.292
We celebrate the resurrection of jesus christ, why? because jesus
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:17.193
Jesus christ, why? because jesus rose from the dead,
00:00:17.260 --> 00:00:18.261
Because jesus rose from the dead, not metaphysically,
00:00:18.328 --> 00:00:19.662
Rose from the dead, not metaphysically, not in an ethereal way.
00:00:19.729 --> 00:00:21.464
Not metaphysically, not in an ethereal way. jesus rose from the dead,
00:00:21.531 --> 00:00:23.199
Not in an ethereal way. jesus rose from the dead, bodily, and he says,
00:00:23.266 --> 00:00:24.501
Jesus rose from the dead, bodily, and he says, "because i live,
00:00:24.567 --> 00:00:25.668
Bodily, and he says, "because i live, you shall live also," amen.
00:00:25.735 --> 00:00:32.308
"because i live, you shall live also," amen. so one of the things jesus
00:00:32.375 --> 00:00:33.576
You shall live also," amen. so one of the things jesus conquered on the cross
00:00:33.643 --> 00:00:35.111
So one of the things jesus conquered on the cross is death itself, hallelujah!
00:00:35.178 --> 00:00:39.115

And resurrection of our lord jesus christ.
00:00:42.652 --> 00:00:44.554
Of our lord jesus christ. join joseph prince as he shares
00:00:44.621 --> 00:00:46.156
Join joseph prince as he shares about the life-changing victory
00:00:46.222 --> 00:00:47.790
About the life-changing victory that is ours today
00:00:47.857 --> 00:00:49.192
That is ours today because of jesus
00:00:49.259 --> 00:00:49.959
Because of jesus and his finished work
00:00:50.026 --> 00:00:50.493
And his finished work on the cross.
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.529
>> female announcer: and now,
00:00:52.595 --> 00:00:53.229
>> female announcer: and now, here is pastor joseph prince
00:00:53.296 --> 00:00:54.063
>> joseph prince: jesus said
00:00:56.166 --> 00:00:56.799
>> joseph prince: jesus said in john 10, "the thief
00:00:56.866 --> 00:00:58.735
>> joseph prince: jesus said in john 10, "the thief does not come except to steal,
00:00:58.801 --> 00:01:00.303
In john 10, "the thief does not come except to steal, to kill, and to destroy.
00:01:00.370 --> 00:01:02.472
Does not come except to steal, to kill, and to destroy. i have come that they
00:01:02.539 --> 00:01:04.274
To kill, and to destroy. i have come that they might have life,
00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:05.975
I have come that they might have life, and have it more abundantly."
00:01:06.042 --> 00:01:09.445
Might have life, and have it more abundantly." so notice jesus said,
00:01:09.512 --> 00:01:10.947
Who is that?
00:01:13.049 --> 00:01:14.017
Who is that? that's the devil.
00:01:14.083 --> 00:01:15.351
That's the devil. he comes to steal,
00:01:15.418 --> 00:01:18.621
He comes to steal, and then to kill.
00:01:18.688 --> 00:01:19.556
And then to kill. notice he cannot kill
00:01:19.622 --> 00:01:20.823
Notice he cannot kill unless he has first stolen.
00:01:20.890 --> 00:01:23.259
Steal from you?
00:01:25.528 --> 00:01:26.563
Steal from you? he steals the truth,
00:01:26.629 --> 00:01:28.431
Steal from you? he steals the truth, the truth of god's word.
00:01:28.498 --> 00:01:29.699
He steals the truth, the truth of god's word. he has to remove what you are
00:01:29.766 --> 00:01:32.068
The truth of god's word. he has to remove what you are believing that is right.
00:01:32.135 --> 00:01:34.003
He has to remove what you are believing that is right. now jesus himself said
00:01:34.070 --> 00:01:35.672
Believing that is right. now jesus himself said in john 10:10,
00:01:35.738 --> 00:01:36.539
Now jesus himself said in john 10:10, we just read, that the thief
00:01:36.606 --> 00:01:37.941
In john 10:10, we just read, that the thief comes to steal, kill,
00:01:38.007 --> 00:01:39.475
We just read, that the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
00:01:39.542 --> 00:01:40.710
Comes to steal, kill, and destroy. god never steals from you.
00:01:40.777 --> 00:01:42.712
And destroy. god never steals from you. god never kills.
00:01:42.779 --> 00:01:43.913
God never steals from you. god never kills. god doesn't destroy.
00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:45.281
God never kills. god doesn't destroy. god is a good god.
00:01:45.348 --> 00:01:46.816
God doesn't destroy. god is a good god. is this the kind of world
00:01:46.883 --> 00:01:47.684
God is a good god. is this the kind of world that god brought us into?
00:01:47.750 --> 00:01:50.486
Is this the kind of world that god brought us into? no, i regret to tell you,
00:01:50.553 --> 00:01:55.959
That god brought us into? no, i regret to tell you, we are in a fallen earth.
00:01:56.025 --> 00:01:58.661
No, i regret to tell you, we are in a fallen earth. but this is not the way
00:01:58.728 --> 00:01:59.495
We are in a fallen earth. but this is not the way god made the earth.
00:01:59.562 --> 00:02:00.897
But this is not the way god made the earth. this is not the way--
00:02:00.964 --> 00:02:02.198
God made the earth. this is not the way-- the father's plan for us in
00:02:02.265 --> 00:02:03.633
This is not the way-- the father's plan for us in the beginning is that
00:02:03.700 --> 00:02:04.500
The father's plan for us in the beginning is that we enjoy lavish abundance.
00:02:04.567 --> 00:02:08.137
The beginning is that we enjoy lavish abundance. we enjoy health, wholeness,
00:02:08.204 --> 00:02:11.174
We enjoy lavish abundance. we enjoy health, wholeness, that we will never die.
00:02:11.241 --> 00:02:13.076
We enjoy health, wholeness, that we will never die. so to god,
00:02:13.142 --> 00:02:14.410
That we will never die. so to god, death is but an enemy.
00:02:14.477 --> 00:02:16.946
So to god, death is but an enemy. the bible is very clear.
00:02:17.013 --> 00:02:17.814
Death is but an enemy. the bible is very clear. the bible uses the word,
00:02:17.880 --> 00:02:18.881
The bible is very clear. the bible uses the word, the last enemy
00:02:18.948 --> 00:02:19.816
The bible uses the word, the last enemy that should be put
00:02:19.882 --> 00:02:20.650
The last enemy that should be put under jesus's feet is death.
00:02:20.717 --> 00:02:23.052
That should be put under jesus's feet is death. so death is foreign
00:02:23.119 --> 00:02:24.254
Under jesus's feet is death. so death is foreign to god, amen.
00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:26.222
So death is foreign to god, amen. god hates death as much
00:02:26.289 --> 00:02:27.590
To god, amen. god hates death as much as he hates sin.
00:02:27.657 --> 00:02:29.225
God hates death as much as he hates sin. but in the very beginning
00:02:29.292 --> 00:02:30.493
As he hates sin. but in the very beginning when god created man
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:31.661
But in the very beginning when god created man and woman, the first man
00:02:31.728 --> 00:02:33.229
When god created man and woman, the first man and woman,
00:02:33.296 --> 00:02:33.997
And woman, the first man and woman, adam and eve,
00:02:34.063 --> 00:02:34.964
And woman, adam and eve, our first parents,
00:02:35.031 --> 00:02:37.267
Adam and eve, our first parents, god put them in a garden
00:02:37.333 --> 00:02:39.035
Our first parents, god put them in a garden where he surrounded them
00:02:39.102 --> 00:02:40.270
God put them in a garden where he surrounded them with abundance, magnificence,
00:02:40.336 --> 00:02:45.975
Where he surrounded them with abundance, magnificence, extravagance.
00:02:46.042 --> 00:02:47.477
With abundance, magnificence, extravagance. there was more than enough
00:02:47.543 --> 00:02:48.578
Extravagance. there was more than enough for one couple.
00:02:48.645 --> 00:02:49.779
There was more than enough for one couple. they were the first couple.
00:02:49.846 --> 00:02:51.347
For one couple. they were the first couple. and god lavished them
00:02:51.414 --> 00:02:52.448
They were the first couple. and god lavished them with more than enough.
00:02:52.515 --> 00:02:54.050
And god lavished them with more than enough. so in a world of selfishness
00:02:54.117 --> 00:02:56.853
With more than enough. so in a world of selfishness and self-centeredness and sin,
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.555
So in a world of selfishness and self-centeredness and sin, people have robbed these
00:02:59.622 --> 00:03:02.959
And self-centeredness and sin, people have robbed these provisions that god
00:03:03.026 --> 00:03:04.093
People have robbed these provisions that god has given to all men to share.
00:03:04.160 --> 00:03:05.828
Provisions that god has given to all men to share. and one person can actually
00:03:05.895 --> 00:03:07.263
Has given to all men to share. and one person can actually enjoy more than enough.
00:03:07.330 --> 00:03:08.765
And one person can actually enjoy more than enough. but why then do we have poverty?
00:03:08.831 --> 00:03:10.867
Enjoy more than enough. but why then do we have poverty? why was jesus the son of god
00:03:10.933 --> 00:03:13.770
But why then do we have poverty? why was jesus the son of god who came to earth to die
00:03:13.836 --> 00:03:15.004
Why was jesus the son of god who came to earth to die for us, crucified
00:03:15.071 --> 00:03:16.572
Who came to earth to die for us, crucified without any clothes on.
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:18.207
For us, crucified without any clothes on. why?
00:03:18.274 --> 00:03:19.375
Without any clothes on. why? he who flung the stars
00:03:19.442 --> 00:03:21.010
Why? he who flung the stars and the suns into space,
00:03:21.077 --> 00:03:24.514
He who flung the stars and the suns into space, amen, the galaxies, the planets.
00:03:24.580 --> 00:03:26.716
And the suns into space, amen, the galaxies, the planets. he who created the sapphires,
00:03:26.783 --> 00:03:28.251
Amen, the galaxies, the planets. he who created the sapphires, diamonds, rubies.
00:03:28.318 --> 00:03:29.919
He who created the sapphires, diamonds, rubies. he was made poor,
00:03:29.986 --> 00:03:30.953
Diamonds, rubies. he was made poor, the bible says,
00:03:31.020 --> 00:03:32.088
He was made poor, the bible says, that you, through his poverty,
00:03:32.155 --> 00:03:33.956
The bible says, that you, through his poverty, might be rich.
00:03:34.023 --> 00:03:35.191
That you, through his poverty, might be rich. because what happened
00:03:35.258 --> 00:03:35.925
Might be rich. because what happened on the cross
00:03:35.992 --> 00:03:36.959
Because what happened on the cross is a divine exchange of all
00:03:37.026 --> 00:03:39.095
On the cross is a divine exchange of all that we have lost
00:03:39.162 --> 00:03:39.996
Is a divine exchange of all that we have lost because of our sin.
00:03:40.063 --> 00:03:40.997
That we have lost because of our sin. on the cross,
00:03:41.064 --> 00:03:41.931
Because of our sin. on the cross, jesus wore the crown of thorns.
00:03:41.998 --> 00:03:43.333
On the cross, jesus wore the crown of thorns. why?
00:03:43.399 --> 00:03:44.133
Jesus wore the crown of thorns. why? because when adam sinned,
00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:45.468
Why? because when adam sinned, god says from now on,
00:03:45.535 --> 00:03:47.170
Because when adam sinned, god says from now on, the ground will not easily yield
00:03:47.236 --> 00:03:49.238
God says from now on, the ground will not easily yield to you its harvests.
00:03:49.305 --> 00:03:50.673
The ground will not easily yield to you its harvests. by the sweat of your face,
00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:52.709
To you its harvests. by the sweat of your face, you will eat bread
00:03:52.775 --> 00:03:54.644
By the sweat of your face, you will eat bread from the ground.
00:03:54.711 --> 00:03:55.878
You will eat bread from the ground. you know, jesus to redeem us
00:03:55.945 --> 00:03:57.847
From the ground. you know, jesus to redeem us in the passion--
00:03:57.914 --> 00:03:58.848
You know, jesus to redeem us in the passion-- he was in
00:03:58.915 --> 00:03:59.649
In the passion-- he was in the garden of gethsemane
00:03:59.716 --> 00:04:00.483
He was in the garden of gethsemane just a few hours before
00:04:00.550 --> 00:04:01.384
The garden of gethsemane just a few hours before he was crucified on the cross.
00:04:01.451 --> 00:04:03.286
Just a few hours before he was crucified on the cross. jesus was in the garden praying
00:04:03.353 --> 00:04:06.222
He was crucified on the cross. jesus was in the garden praying and the bible says
00:04:06.289 --> 00:04:07.156
Jesus was in the garden praying and the bible says he sweat so much
00:04:07.223 --> 00:04:08.558
And the bible says he sweat so much that his capillaries burst.
00:04:08.624 --> 00:04:10.393
He sweat so much that his capillaries burst. now it's a condition
00:04:10.460 --> 00:04:11.861
That his capillaries burst. now it's a condition that scientists call
00:04:11.928 --> 00:04:12.929
Now it's a condition that scientists call only under great duress,
00:04:12.995 --> 00:04:14.630
That scientists call only under great duress, under great extreme stress,
00:04:14.697 --> 00:04:16.966
Only under great duress, under great extreme stress, the capillaries were burst
00:04:17.033 --> 00:04:18.601
Under great extreme stress, the capillaries were burst and mix up with your sweat
00:04:18.668 --> 00:04:20.036
The capillaries were burst and mix up with your sweat and you are
00:04:20.103 --> 00:04:20.737
And mix up with your sweat and you are literally sweating blood.
00:04:20.803 --> 00:04:22.872
And you are literally sweating blood. it's a very rare case,
00:04:22.939 --> 00:04:24.607
Literally sweating blood. it's a very rare case, but it does happen.
00:04:24.674 --> 00:04:27.110
It's a very rare case, but it does happen. and jesus sweat blood
00:04:27.176 --> 00:04:30.213
But it does happen. and jesus sweat blood and the blood dropped
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:31.147
And jesus sweat blood and the blood dropped to the ground.
00:04:31.214 --> 00:04:31.881
And the blood dropped to the ground. what does that tell us?
00:04:31.948 --> 00:04:32.815
To the ground. what does that tell us? well, the bible says,
00:04:32.882 --> 00:04:34.117
What does that tell us? well, the bible says, we are all redeemed
00:04:34.183 --> 00:04:35.084
Well, the bible says, we are all redeemed by the blood of jesus.
00:04:35.151 --> 00:04:37.086
We are all redeemed by the blood of jesus. there is no sin
00:04:37.153 --> 00:04:37.920
By the blood of jesus. there is no sin in the blood of jesus.
00:04:37.987 --> 00:04:38.755
There is no sin in the blood of jesus. he was born of a virgin.
00:04:38.821 --> 00:04:40.189
In the blood of jesus. he was born of a virgin. the blood in him
00:04:40.256 --> 00:04:41.057
He was born of a virgin. the blood in him all came from his father.
00:04:41.124 --> 00:04:42.425
The blood in him all came from his father. and the blood in him
00:04:42.492 --> 00:04:43.626
All came from his father. and the blood in him was there to be shed.
00:04:43.693 --> 00:04:46.229
And the blood in him was there to be shed. he came to die for us, amen,
00:04:46.295 --> 00:04:48.631
Was there to be shed. he came to die for us, amen, because we needed
00:04:48.698 --> 00:04:49.399
He came to die for us, amen, because we needed to be redeemed.
00:04:49.465 --> 00:04:50.733
Because we needed to be redeemed. all creation has fallen.
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:52.602
To be redeemed. all creation has fallen. there is no hope in creation.
00:04:52.668 --> 00:04:54.704
All creation has fallen. there is no hope in creation. no matter how organic
00:04:54.771 --> 00:04:56.739
There is no hope in creation. no matter how organic your diet is, you will die.
00:04:56.806 --> 00:05:01.477
No matter how organic your diet is, you will die. no matter how much you exercise,
00:05:01.544 --> 00:05:03.446
Your diet is, you will die. no matter how much you exercise, you will die, amen?
00:05:03.513 --> 00:05:05.381
No matter how much you exercise, you will die, amen? but jesus came to bring the gift
00:05:05.448 --> 00:05:07.750
You will die, amen? but jesus came to bring the gift of eternal life
00:05:07.817 --> 00:05:09.085
But jesus came to bring the gift of eternal life through his name, hallelujah!
00:05:09.152 --> 00:05:11.687
Of eternal life through his name, hallelujah! praise the lord.
00:05:11.754 --> 00:05:12.588
Through his name, hallelujah! praise the lord. and the first area he covered
00:05:12.655 --> 00:05:13.956
Praise the lord. and the first area he covered for us was actually
00:05:14.023 --> 00:05:14.991
And the first area he covered for us was actually in the garden because
00:05:15.057 --> 00:05:16.292
For us was actually in the garden because what happened to
00:05:16.359 --> 00:05:17.860
In the garden because what happened to our first parents actually
00:05:17.927 --> 00:05:19.262
What happened to our first parents actually happened in a garden.
00:05:19.328 --> 00:05:20.963
Our first parents actually happened in a garden. so jesus, to redeem us,
00:05:21.030 --> 00:05:22.932
Happened in a garden. so jesus, to redeem us, he was in a garden,
00:05:22.999 --> 00:05:23.900
So jesus, to redeem us, he was in a garden, another garden.
00:05:23.966 --> 00:05:24.667
He was in a garden, another garden. but this time, he sweat blood.
00:05:24.734 --> 00:05:26.302
Another garden. but this time, he sweat blood. and later on,
00:05:26.369 --> 00:05:27.703
But this time, he sweat blood. and later on, they will put a crown of thorns
00:05:27.770 --> 00:05:28.938
And later on, they will put a crown of thorns on his head.
00:05:29.005 --> 00:05:29.872
They will put a crown of thorns on his head. why did he sweat blood?
00:05:29.939 --> 00:05:31.340
On his head. why did he sweat blood? because his blood has redeeming,
00:05:31.407 --> 00:05:33.876
Why did he sweat blood? because his blood has redeeming, buying back property,
00:05:33.943 --> 00:05:35.178
Because his blood has redeeming, buying back property, buying you from
00:05:35.244 --> 00:05:36.045
Buying back property, buying you from the slave market,
00:05:36.112 --> 00:05:36.946
Buying you from the slave market, buying you from the curse,
00:05:37.013 --> 00:05:38.381
The slave market, buying you from the curse, buying you out of darkness
00:05:38.448 --> 00:05:39.749
Buying you from the curse, buying you out of darkness with a price.
00:05:39.816 --> 00:05:40.716
Buying you out of darkness with a price. and the price
00:05:40.783 --> 00:05:41.417
With a price. and the price was his precious blood.
00:05:41.484 --> 00:05:42.485
And the price was his precious blood. and by his blood,
00:05:42.552 --> 00:05:43.653
Was his precious blood. and by his blood, he redeemed all of us
00:05:43.719 --> 00:05:44.921
And by his blood, he redeemed all of us from that curse that
00:05:44.987 --> 00:05:46.556
He redeemed all of us from that curse that came on mankind when he sinned,
00:05:46.622 --> 00:05:48.658
From that curse that came on mankind when he sinned, when adam sinned.
00:05:48.724 --> 00:05:49.492
Came on mankind when he sinned, when adam sinned. god says, "by the sweat of
00:05:49.559 --> 00:05:50.960
When adam sinned. god says, "by the sweat of your face, you will eat bread."
00:05:51.027 --> 00:05:52.228
God says, "by the sweat of your face, you will eat bread." in other words,
00:05:52.295 --> 00:05:52.862
Your face, you will eat bread." in other words, all the good things in life
00:05:52.929 --> 00:05:54.030
In other words, all the good things in life can only come by your sweat,
00:05:54.096 --> 00:05:55.832
All the good things in life can only come by your sweat, by your hard work,
00:05:55.898 --> 00:05:56.999
Can only come by your sweat, by your hard work, by your painful labor.
00:05:57.066 --> 00:05:58.568

When he sweat blood, because of the redeeming quality of his blood.
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:10.780
Because of the redeeming quality of his blood. when his sweat and the blood
00:06:10.847 --> 00:06:12.515
Of his blood. when his sweat and the blood mixed, he redeemed all of us
00:06:12.582 --> 00:06:14.784
When his sweat and the blood mixed, he redeemed all of us from the curse of human sweat.
00:06:14.851 --> 00:06:19.188
Mixed, he redeemed all of us from the curse of human sweat. so today, we receive

From the curse of human sweat. so today, we receive the blessings, the good life,
00:06:21.090 --> 00:06:22.492
So today, we receive the blessings, the good life, life more abundant, as a gift.
00:06:22.558 --> 00:06:24.560
The blessings, the good life, life more abundant, as a gift. not by our sweat, blood,
00:06:24.627 --> 00:06:26.295
Life more abundant, as a gift. not by our sweat, blood, and tears.
00:06:26.362 --> 00:06:27.196
Not by our sweat, blood, and tears. not by our human effort,
00:06:27.263 --> 00:06:28.698
And tears. not by our human effort, but by his grace.
00:06:28.764 --> 00:06:30.433
Not by our human effort, but by his grace. for god to forgive us our sins
00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:31.868
But by his grace. for god to forgive us our sins is free for us.
00:06:31.934 --> 00:06:33.870
For god to forgive us our sins is free for us. but it cost god his son.
00:06:33.936 --> 00:06:35.538
Is free for us. but it cost god his son. his son has to come down.
00:06:35.605 --> 00:06:37.740
But it cost god his son. his son has to come down. and his son chose
00:06:37.807 --> 00:06:39.275
His son has to come down. and his son chose to come down, amen.
00:06:39.342 --> 00:06:41.811
And his son chose to come down, amen. he chose to go to the cross
00:06:41.878 --> 00:06:43.946
To come down, amen. he chose to go to the cross and gave his life for us on that
00:06:44.013 --> 00:06:45.848
He chose to go to the cross and gave his life for us on that cross, bearing our sins
00:06:45.915 --> 00:06:47.216
And gave his life for us on that cross, bearing our sins in his own body.
00:06:47.283 --> 00:06:48.518
Cross, bearing our sins in his own body. why?
00:06:48.584 --> 00:06:49.418
In his own body. why? we go back again
00:06:49.485 --> 00:06:50.286
Why? we go back again to the garden, amen?
00:06:50.353 --> 00:06:51.020
We go back again to the garden, amen? not only god says, "by the sweat
00:06:51.087 --> 00:06:52.788
To the garden, amen? not only god says, "by the sweat of your face,
00:06:52.855 --> 00:06:53.422
Not only god says, "by the sweat of your face, you will eat bread."
00:06:53.489 --> 00:06:54.590
Of your face, you will eat bread." god says, "from now on--"
00:06:54.657 --> 00:06:56.092
You will eat bread." god says, "from now on--" in fact, god told adam, "the day
00:06:56.158 --> 00:06:57.560
God says, "from now on--" in fact, god told adam, "the day you eat from that tree,
00:06:57.627 --> 00:06:58.828
In fact, god told adam, "the day you eat from that tree, the tree of knowledge
00:06:58.895 --> 00:06:59.729
You eat from that tree, the tree of knowledge of good and evil,
00:06:59.795 --> 00:07:00.930
The tree of knowledge of good and evil, dying you shall die."
00:07:00.997 --> 00:07:02.632
Of good and evil, dying you shall die." in other words,
00:07:02.698 --> 00:07:03.199
Dying you shall die." in other words, dying spiritually, you shall die
00:07:03.266 --> 00:07:05.067
In other words, dying spiritually, you shall die one day, physically.
00:07:05.134 --> 00:07:07.003
Dying spiritually, you shall die one day, physically. but from that day, when man
00:07:07.069 --> 00:07:08.271
One day, physically. but from that day, when man partook of that fruit,
00:07:08.337 --> 00:07:10.072
But from that day, when man partook of that fruit, man died inside, spiritually.
00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:12.708
Partook of that fruit, man died inside, spiritually. you see, friends,
00:07:12.775 --> 00:07:13.743
Man died inside, spiritually. you see, friends, let me just say this.
00:07:13.809 --> 00:07:14.544
You see, friends, let me just say this. you are not just a body,
00:07:14.610 --> 00:07:17.680
Let me just say this. you are not just a body, all right?
00:07:17.747 --> 00:07:18.314
You are not just a body, all right? you're not just a mind.
00:07:18.381 --> 00:07:20.349
All right? you're not just a mind. you are a spirit.
00:07:20.416 --> 00:07:21.884
You're not just a mind. you are a spirit. god made you a spirit.
00:07:21.951 --> 00:07:23.286
You are a spirit. god made you a spirit. the bible says in the beginning,
00:07:23.352 --> 00:07:24.787
And the earth.
00:07:26.923 --> 00:07:28.057
And the earth. when god made man, god says,
00:07:28.124 --> 00:07:29.425
When god made man, god says, "let us--"
00:07:29.492 --> 00:07:30.593
"let us--" have you noticed the word "us"
00:07:30.660 --> 00:07:31.994
Have you noticed the word "us" in your english bible,
00:07:32.061 --> 00:07:33.229
In your english bible, the king james bible?
00:07:33.296 --> 00:07:34.330
The king james bible? "let us," that is plural,
00:07:34.397 --> 00:07:36.065
"let us," that is plural, isn't it?
00:07:36.132 --> 00:07:36.933
One god, three distinct persons,
00:07:40.236 --> 00:07:43.139
One god, three distinct persons, one god.
00:07:43.205 --> 00:07:43.739
One god, three distinct persons, one god. father, son, holy spirit.
00:07:43.806 --> 00:07:45.708
One god. father, son, holy spirit. god says,
00:07:45.775 --> 00:07:46.542
Father, son, holy spirit. god says, "let us make man in our image."
00:07:46.609 --> 00:07:47.843
God says, "let us make man in our image." god made you a triunity as well
00:07:47.910 --> 00:07:51.180
"let us make man in our image." god made you a triunity as well because you are made
00:07:51.247 --> 00:07:52.114
God made you a triunity as well because you are made in god's image.
00:07:52.181 --> 00:07:53.215
Because you are made in god's image. you see, you are a spirit.
00:07:53.282 --> 00:07:54.984
In god's image. you see, you are a spirit. you dwell inside, amen.
00:07:55.051 --> 00:07:57.453
You see, you are a spirit. you dwell inside, amen. all of us, we are spirit beings.
00:07:57.520 --> 00:07:59.288
You dwell inside, amen. all of us, we are spirit beings. that's why we can sense things
00:07:59.355 --> 00:08:00.823
All of us, we are spirit beings. that's why we can sense things that are spiritual long before
00:08:00.890 --> 00:08:02.525
That's why we can sense things that are spiritual long before our mind catches up.
00:08:02.592 --> 00:08:04.360
That are spiritual long before our mind catches up. we can sense things intuitively
00:08:04.427 --> 00:08:06.629
Our mind catches up. we can sense things intuitively long before our understanding
00:08:06.696 --> 00:08:09.665
We can sense things intuitively long before our understanding can relate to us
00:08:09.732 --> 00:08:10.967
Long before our understanding can relate to us what is happening.
00:08:11.033 --> 00:08:12.602
Can relate to us what is happening. our spirit is faster
00:08:12.668 --> 00:08:14.036
What is happening. our spirit is faster than our brain.
00:08:14.103 --> 00:08:15.871
Our spirit is faster than our brain. sometimes you can sense,
00:08:15.938 --> 00:08:17.006
Than our brain. sometimes you can sense, that's why young children,
00:08:17.073 --> 00:08:18.074
Sometimes you can sense, that's why young children, they can sense evil people.
00:08:18.140 --> 00:08:19.909
That's why young children, they can sense evil people. they don't like certain ones,
00:08:19.976 --> 00:08:21.210
They can sense evil people. they don't like certain ones, amen, faster than we can.
00:08:21.277 --> 00:08:23.412
They don't like certain ones, amen, faster than we can. their spirit is alive, amen.
00:08:23.479 --> 00:08:27.316
Amen, faster than we can. their spirit is alive, amen. so, for us, we don't realize
00:08:27.383 --> 00:08:29.619
Their spirit is alive, amen. so, for us, we don't realize that we just think
00:08:29.685 --> 00:08:30.353
So, for us, we don't realize that we just think we are our bodies.
00:08:30.419 --> 00:08:31.020
That we just think we are our bodies. we are not our bodies.
00:08:31.087 --> 00:08:32.221
We are our bodies. we are not our bodies. our bodies is an integral part
00:08:32.288 --> 00:08:34.023
We are not our bodies. our bodies is an integral part of god's creation because god
00:08:34.090 --> 00:08:35.524
Our bodies is an integral part of god's creation because god made us tripartite, okay?
00:08:35.591 --> 00:08:37.860
Of god's creation because god made us tripartite, okay? you are a spirit.
00:08:37.927 --> 00:08:39.095
Made us tripartite, okay? you are a spirit. you have a soul that is
00:08:39.161 --> 00:08:40.963
You are a spirit. you have a soul that is your mind and your emotions.
00:08:41.030 --> 00:08:44.266
You have a soul that is your mind and your emotions. okay, your will, your mind,
00:08:44.333 --> 00:08:45.768
Your mind and your emotions. okay, your will, your mind, emotions are what's called soul.
00:08:45.835 --> 00:08:47.870
Okay, your will, your mind, emotions are what's called soul. you're not--soul is not spirit.
00:08:47.937 --> 00:08:49.105
Emotions are what's called soul. you're not--soul is not spirit. spirit is spirit,
00:08:49.171 --> 00:08:50.006
You're not--soul is not spirit. spirit is spirit, the bible tells us.
00:08:50.072 --> 00:08:50.906
Spirit is spirit, the bible tells us. spirit is like god.
00:08:50.973 --> 00:08:51.841
The bible tells us. spirit is like god. god is a spirit.
00:08:51.907 --> 00:08:52.975
Spirit is like god. god is a spirit. god made us all spirits.
00:08:53.042 --> 00:08:55.578
God is a spirit. god made us all spirits. then we have souls,
00:08:55.645 --> 00:08:57.213
God made us all spirits. then we have souls, and we live in a body, amen.
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:00.950
Then we have souls, and we live in a body, amen. so with the body, you contact
00:09:01.017 --> 00:09:02.451
And we live in a body, amen. so with the body, you contact the physical world.
00:09:02.518 --> 00:09:04.286
So with the body, you contact the physical world. with the mind,
00:09:04.353 --> 00:09:05.254
The physical world. with the mind, the intellectual world.
00:09:05.321 --> 00:09:06.922
With the mind, the intellectual world. but with the spirit,
00:09:06.989 --> 00:09:08.157
The intellectual world. but with the spirit, you contact god.
00:09:08.224 --> 00:09:10.159
But with the spirit, you contact god. now that part when man's sin
00:09:10.226 --> 00:09:12.028
You contact god. now that part when man's sin was cut off from god.
00:09:12.094 --> 00:09:13.996
Now that part when man's sin was cut off from god. that part died.
00:09:14.063 --> 00:09:15.965
Was cut off from god. that part died. when the bible says you must be
00:09:16.032 --> 00:09:16.999
That part died. when the bible says you must be born again, it's that part
00:09:17.066 --> 00:09:18.234
When the bible says you must be born again, it's that part the bible is referring to.
00:09:18.300 --> 00:09:19.235
Born again, it's that part the bible is referring to. the real you.
00:09:19.301 --> 00:09:21.804
The bible is referring to. the real you. your spirit and soul
00:09:21.871 --> 00:09:23.739
The real you. your spirit and soul is your inner man.
00:09:23.806 --> 00:09:25.007
Your spirit and soul is your inner man. but you live in a body.
00:09:25.074 --> 00:09:26.242
Is your inner man. but you live in a body. so if i die right now,
00:09:26.308 --> 00:09:27.677
But you live in a body. so if i die right now, which i won't, i'll try not to
00:09:27.743 --> 00:09:29.111
So if i die right now, which i won't, i'll try not to by the grace of god.
00:09:29.178 --> 00:09:30.212
Which i won't, i'll try not to by the grace of god. okay, if i die right now,
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.782
By the grace of god. okay, if i die right now, my body drops, right?
00:09:32.848 --> 00:09:34.850
Okay, if i die right now, my body drops, right? but i will step out of my body.
00:09:34.917 --> 00:09:36.886
My body drops, right? but i will step out of my body. that's the real me.
00:09:36.952 --> 00:09:41.023
But i will step out of my body. that's the real me. i look down and say, "wow,
00:09:41.090 --> 00:09:43.059
That's the real me. i look down and say, "wow, what's that good looking corpse
00:09:43.125 --> 00:09:44.627
I look down and say, "wow, what's that good looking corpse doing down there?"
00:09:44.694 --> 00:09:46.328
What's that good looking corpse doing down there?" oh, you all laugh.
00:09:46.395 --> 00:09:49.865
Doing down there?" oh, you all laugh. okay, no corpse look good, yeah?
00:09:49.932 --> 00:09:52.101
Oh, you all laugh. okay, no corpse look good, yeah? so i'm stepping out of my house
00:09:52.168 --> 00:09:56.105
Okay, no corpse look good, yeah? so i'm stepping out of my house but i can't call out
00:09:56.172 --> 00:09:57.039
So i'm stepping out of my house but i can't call out to you anymore.
00:09:57.106 --> 00:09:57.640
But i can't call out to you anymore. why?
00:09:57.707 --> 00:09:58.174
To you anymore. why? my vocal cords by which
00:09:58.240 --> 00:09:59.775
Why? my vocal cords by which i communicate with the physical,
00:09:59.842 --> 00:10:01.277
My vocal cords by which i communicate with the physical, you communicate
00:10:01.343 --> 00:10:01.944
I communicate with the physical, you communicate with the physical.
00:10:02.011 --> 00:10:03.079
You communicate with the physical. the corpse is no more with me.
00:10:03.145 --> 00:10:05.181
With the physical. the corpse is no more with me. it's down there, right?
00:10:05.247 --> 00:10:08.818
The corpse is no more with me. it's down there, right? but i'm still alive.
00:10:08.884 --> 00:10:11.220
It's down there, right? but i'm still alive. how do you explain?
00:10:11.287 --> 00:10:11.987
But i'm still alive. how do you explain? there must be a place
00:10:12.054 --> 00:10:12.888
How do you explain? there must be a place to house me.
00:10:12.955 --> 00:10:14.223
There must be a place to house me. heaven or hell?
00:10:14.290 --> 00:10:16.358
To house me. heaven or hell? we know that death
00:10:16.425 --> 00:10:18.360
Heaven or hell? we know that death is not natural.
00:10:18.427 --> 00:10:19.662
We know that death is not natural. that's why we don't like
00:10:19.729 --> 00:10:20.696
Is not natural. that's why we don't like to attend funerals.
00:10:20.763 --> 00:10:21.797
That's why we don't like to attend funerals. we go because of our love
00:10:21.864 --> 00:10:22.965
To attend funerals. we go because of our love and respect for the people
00:10:23.032 --> 00:10:24.066
We go because of our love and respect for the people that are there.
00:10:24.133 --> 00:10:25.301
And respect for the people that are there. but we don't like to be there.
00:10:25.367 --> 00:10:27.269
That are there. but we don't like to be there. we enjoy being at weddings.
00:10:27.336 --> 00:10:28.537
But we don't like to be there. we enjoy being at weddings. it's a celebration of life
00:10:28.604 --> 00:10:30.206
We enjoy being at weddings. it's a celebration of life and new births.
00:10:30.272 --> 00:10:31.073
It's a celebration of life and new births. but we don't enjoy death because
00:10:31.140 --> 00:10:32.641
And new births. but we don't enjoy death because we know that death is foreign
00:10:32.708 --> 00:10:34.043
But we don't enjoy death because we know that death is foreign to our nature.
00:10:34.110 --> 00:10:35.111
We know that death is foreign to our nature. you are right, my friend.
00:10:35.177 --> 00:10:36.078
To our nature. you are right, my friend. you sense that in your spirit
00:10:36.145 --> 00:10:37.346
You are right, my friend. you sense that in your spirit because death was never
00:10:37.413 --> 00:10:38.547
You sense that in your spirit because death was never meant to be.
00:10:38.614 --> 00:10:39.882
Because death was never meant to be. and today we celebrate
00:10:39.949 --> 00:10:40.950
Meant to be. and today we celebrate the resurrection
00:10:41.016 --> 00:10:41.817
And today we celebrate the resurrection of jesus christ.
00:10:41.884 --> 00:10:42.918
The resurrection of jesus christ. why?
00:10:42.985 --> 00:10:43.586
Of jesus christ. why? because jesus rose from
00:10:43.652 --> 00:10:44.754
Why? because jesus rose from the dead, not metaphysically,
00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:47.022
Because jesus rose from the dead, not metaphysically, not in an ethereal way.
00:10:47.089 --> 00:10:48.724
The dead, not metaphysically, not in an ethereal way. jesus rose from the dead,
00:10:48.791 --> 00:10:50.092
Not in an ethereal way. jesus rose from the dead, bodily, and he says,
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:51.660
Jesus rose from the dead, bodily, and he says, "because i live,
00:10:51.727 --> 00:10:52.962
Bodily, and he says, "because i live, you shall live also," amen.
00:10:53.028 --> 00:10:59.802
"because i live, you shall live also," amen. so one of the things jesus
00:10:59.869 --> 00:11:01.103
You shall live also," amen. so one of the things jesus conquered on the cross
00:11:01.170 --> 00:11:02.438
So one of the things jesus conquered on the cross is death itself, hallelujah!
00:11:02.505 --> 00:11:07.209
Conquered on the cross is death itself, hallelujah! when god wanted to make man,
00:11:07.276 --> 00:11:08.878
Is death itself, hallelujah! when god wanted to make man, god spoke to himself.
00:11:08.944 --> 00:11:12.982
When god wanted to make man, god spoke to himself. he didn't speak to the ground.
00:11:13.048 --> 00:11:14.316
God spoke to himself. he didn't speak to the ground. he didn't speak to the sea.
00:11:14.383 --> 00:11:16.218
He didn't speak to the ground. he didn't speak to the sea. he spoke to himself.
00:11:16.285 --> 00:11:17.753
He didn't speak to the sea. he spoke to himself. and this is what god said:
00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:18.754
He spoke to himself. and this is what god said: let us make man in our image.
00:11:18.821 --> 00:11:22.758
And this is what god said: let us make man in our image. and in the image of god,
00:11:22.825 --> 00:11:25.628
Let us make man in our image. and in the image of god, man was created.
00:11:25.694 --> 00:11:27.296
And in the image of god, man was created. male and female,
00:11:27.363 --> 00:11:29.231
Man was created. male and female, he created them, amen.
00:11:29.298 --> 00:11:31.801
Male and female, he created them, amen. what does that mean?
00:11:31.867 --> 00:11:33.803
He created them, amen. what does that mean? apart from the ground,
00:11:33.869 --> 00:11:38.007
What does that mean? apart from the ground, the tree is dead.
00:11:38.073 --> 00:11:39.041
Apart from the ground, the tree is dead. apart from the waters,
00:11:39.108 --> 00:11:41.210
The tree is dead. apart from the waters, the fish is dead.
00:11:41.277 --> 00:11:42.778
Apart from the waters, the fish is dead. apart from god, man is dead.
00:11:42.845 --> 00:11:47.049
The fish is dead. apart from god, man is dead. and god ordained also that
00:11:47.116 --> 00:11:49.618
Apart from god, man is dead. and god ordained also that the tree would draw its fruit,
00:11:49.685 --> 00:11:51.854
And god ordained also that the tree would draw its fruit, its food, nourishment,
00:11:51.921 --> 00:11:53.889
The tree would draw its fruit, its food, nourishment, from the ground.
00:11:53.956 --> 00:11:55.791
Its food, nourishment, from the ground. the fish would draw
00:11:55.858 --> 00:11:57.827
From the ground. the fish would draw its nourishment from the sea.
00:11:57.893 --> 00:11:59.395
The fish would draw its nourishment from the sea. likewise, we would draw our life
00:11:59.461 --> 00:12:01.997
Its nourishment from the sea. likewise, we would draw our life force, amen, our health,
00:12:02.064 --> 00:12:03.999
Likewise, we would draw our life force, amen, our health, our sustenance from god.
00:12:04.066 --> 00:12:08.137
Force, amen, our health, our sustenance from god. but then god didn't make man
00:12:08.204 --> 00:12:09.238
Our sustenance from god. but then god didn't make man totally of himself.
00:12:09.305 --> 00:12:10.606
But then god didn't make man totally of himself. god made man out of the dust
00:12:10.673 --> 00:12:12.074
Totally of himself. god made man out of the dust of the ground like a mannequin.
00:12:12.141 --> 00:12:13.509
God made man out of the dust of the ground like a mannequin. just a house.
00:12:13.576 --> 00:12:14.810
Of the ground like a mannequin. just a house. there was no--nothing inside.
00:12:14.877 --> 00:12:16.779
Just a house. there was no--nothing inside. and then the bible says god
00:12:16.846 --> 00:12:18.747
There was no--nothing inside. and then the bible says god breathed into man.
00:12:18.814 --> 00:12:19.715
And then the bible says god breathed into man. i love the hebrew word.
00:12:19.782 --> 00:12:20.916
Breathed into man. i love the hebrew word. the word there
00:12:20.983 --> 00:12:21.917
I love the hebrew word. the word there has a breathing out.
00:12:21.984 --> 00:12:22.985
The word there has a breathing out. vahipah!
00:12:23.052 --> 00:12:24.353
Has a breathing out. vahipah! god breathed, in the hebrew.
00:12:24.420 --> 00:12:25.688
Vahipah! god breathed, in the hebrew. vahipah!
00:12:25.754 --> 00:12:26.255
God breathed, in the hebrew. vahipah! god breathed into man.
00:12:26.322 --> 00:12:28.657
Vahipah! god breathed into man. and man became a living soul.
00:12:28.724 --> 00:12:30.793
God breathed into man. and man became a living soul. yo, what's up?
00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:34.396
And man became a living soul. yo, what's up? he became a living,
00:12:34.463 --> 00:12:35.364
Yo, what's up? he became a living, animated man, amen?
00:12:35.431 --> 00:12:37.533
He became a living, animated man, amen? it's a god-man in a sense.
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.902
Animated man, amen? it's a god-man in a sense. we are not divine.
00:12:39.969 --> 00:12:40.569
It's a god-man in a sense. we are not divine. we will never be divine.
00:12:40.636 --> 00:12:41.570
We are not divine. we will never be divine. understand.
00:12:41.637 --> 00:12:42.238
We will never be divine. understand. understand this.
00:12:42.304 --> 00:12:42.972
Understand. understand this. jesus is divine, god,
00:12:43.038 --> 00:12:45.107
Understand this. jesus is divine, god, fully god, fully man.
00:12:45.174 --> 00:12:47.309
Jesus is divine, god, fully god, fully man. we are sons of man
00:12:47.376 --> 00:12:50.613
Fully god, fully man. we are sons of man who are born again
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.915
We are sons of man who are born again and become sons of god
00:12:52.982 --> 00:12:54.149
Who are born again and become sons of god but we are not divine.
00:12:54.216 --> 00:12:56.385
And become sons of god but we are not divine. you follow what i'm saying?
00:12:56.452 --> 00:12:57.486
But we are not divine. you follow what i'm saying? partakers of the divine nature
00:12:57.553 --> 00:12:58.821
You follow what i'm saying? partakers of the divine nature but not divine.
00:12:58.888 --> 00:13:00.990
Partakers of the divine nature but not divine. okay, only god is divine.
00:13:01.056 --> 00:13:03.359
But not divine. okay, only god is divine. so watch this.
00:13:03.425 --> 00:13:04.426
Okay, only god is divine. so watch this. now we have the life from god.
00:13:04.493 --> 00:13:06.595
So watch this. now we have the life from god. so that life from god
00:13:06.662 --> 00:13:08.030
Now we have the life from god. so that life from god cannot die.
00:13:08.097 --> 00:13:10.366
So that life from god cannot die. it must be housed somewhere.
00:13:10.432 --> 00:13:12.768
Cannot die. it must be housed somewhere. it cannot be housed in heaven
00:13:12.835 --> 00:13:14.270
It must be housed somewhere. it cannot be housed in heaven because if it's full of sin,
00:13:14.336 --> 00:13:16.372
It cannot be housed in heaven because if it's full of sin, it cannot enter heaven.
00:13:16.438 --> 00:13:18.607
Because if it's full of sin, it cannot enter heaven. so it must be housed somewhere.
00:13:18.674 --> 00:13:20.910
It cannot enter heaven. so it must be housed somewhere. and hell was not created
00:13:20.976 --> 00:13:22.678
So it must be housed somewhere. and hell was not created for man.
00:13:22.745 --> 00:13:23.879
And hell was not created for man. jesus himself said hell
00:13:23.946 --> 00:13:24.980
For man. jesus himself said hell was created for the devil
00:13:25.047 --> 00:13:26.916
Jesus himself said hell was created for the devil and his fallen angels, amen.
00:13:26.982 --> 00:13:29.685
Was created for the devil and his fallen angels, amen. but man will go there if that's
00:13:29.752 --> 00:13:32.288
And his fallen angels, amen. but man will go there if that's who they want to follow.
00:13:32.354 --> 00:13:34.256
But man will go there if that's who they want to follow. man sinned against god,
00:13:34.323 --> 00:13:36.158
Who they want to follow. man sinned against god, committed high treason,
00:13:36.225 --> 00:13:37.626
Man sinned against god, committed high treason, bowed his knee to satan
00:13:37.693 --> 00:13:39.495
Committed high treason, bowed his knee to satan and gave literally
00:13:39.561 --> 00:13:40.496
Bowed his knee to satan and gave literally the key of authority
00:13:40.562 --> 00:13:41.430
And gave literally the key of authority over this earth,
00:13:41.497 --> 00:13:42.364
The key of authority over this earth, gave it to satan.
00:13:42.431 --> 00:13:45.100
Over this earth, gave it to satan. now who has the key now?
00:13:45.167 --> 00:13:46.669
Gave it to satan. now who has the key now? satan.
00:13:46.735 --> 00:13:48.137
Now who has the key now? satan. and satan brought in anything
00:13:48.203 --> 00:13:51.307
Satan. and satan brought in anything abominable and damnable you can
00:13:51.373 --> 00:13:53.475
And satan brought in anything abominable and damnable you can think of, all right, disease,
00:13:53.542 --> 00:13:56.879
Abominable and damnable you can think of, all right, disease, growing old, mental conditions
00:13:56.946 --> 00:14:01.216
Think of, all right, disease, growing old, mental conditions of depression, anxiety, stress,
00:14:01.283 --> 00:14:04.720
Growing old, mental conditions of depression, anxiety, stress, broken relationships, strife,
00:14:04.787 --> 00:14:07.489
Of depression, anxiety, stress, broken relationships, strife, bitterness, wars, even a weather
00:14:07.556 --> 00:14:10.092
Broken relationships, strife, bitterness, wars, even a weather going crazy, you know,
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.027
Bitterness, wars, even a weather going crazy, you know, earthquakes and all that.
00:14:12.094 --> 00:14:13.028
Going crazy, you know, earthquakes and all that. all this is not from god.
00:14:13.095 --> 00:14:14.496
Earthquakes and all that. all this is not from god. it's from the devil.
00:14:14.563 --> 00:14:15.364
All this is not from god. it's from the devil. the thief comes to steal,
00:14:15.431 --> 00:14:16.632
It's from the devil. the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
00:14:16.699 --> 00:14:19.335
The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. now, why didn't god just come in
00:14:19.401 --> 00:14:20.436
Kill, and destroy. now, why didn't god just come in and say, "devil, i take back
00:14:20.502 --> 00:14:22.037
Now, why didn't god just come in and say, "devil, i take back the key."
00:14:22.104 --> 00:14:22.838
And say, "devil, i take back the key." if god did that, god will be
00:14:22.905 --> 00:14:24.940
The key." if god did that, god will be powerful, yes, but unjust.
00:14:25.007 --> 00:14:27.142
If god did that, god will be powerful, yes, but unjust. god is not just all-powerful.
00:14:27.209 --> 00:14:28.677
Powerful, yes, but unjust. god is not just all-powerful. he is a just god.
00:14:28.744 --> 00:14:30.579
God is not just all-powerful. he is a just god. and he does things justly and
00:14:30.646 --> 00:14:32.414
He is a just god. and he does things justly and righteously and judiciously.
00:14:32.481 --> 00:14:36.151
And he does things justly and righteously and judiciously. so god cannot do that.
00:14:36.218 --> 00:14:37.019
Righteously and judiciously. so god cannot do that. it was through man that god
00:14:37.086 --> 00:14:38.687
So god cannot do that. it was through man that god gave the authority.
00:14:38.754 --> 00:14:39.955
It was through man that god gave the authority. man gave the authority
00:14:40.022 --> 00:14:41.056
Gave the authority. man gave the authority to the devil by his sin.
00:14:41.123 --> 00:14:43.158
Man gave the authority to the devil by his sin. now it must be a man,
00:14:43.225 --> 00:14:44.360
To the devil by his sin. now it must be a man, another man,
00:14:44.426 --> 00:14:45.194
Now it must be a man, another man, that will take back
00:14:45.260 --> 00:14:45.961
Another man, that will take back the authority.
00:14:46.028 --> 00:14:47.296
That will take back the authority. hence, we have
00:14:47.363 --> 00:14:48.063
The authority. hence, we have the beautiful love story.
00:14:48.130 --> 00:14:49.732
Hence, we have the beautiful love story. god loved you and i.
00:14:49.798 --> 00:14:52.968
The beautiful love story. god loved you and i. god sent his son, jesus christ.
00:14:53.035 --> 00:14:56.271
God loved you and i. god sent his son, jesus christ. and that's why jesus
00:14:56.338 --> 00:14:57.139
God sent his son, jesus christ. and that's why jesus is called, what?

To be righteous, but i am righteous in god's eyes.
00:18:49.071 --> 00:18:50.339

But herein lies the crux. you must receive. it's not automatic.
00:19:08.090 --> 00:19:09.358
You must receive. it's not automatic. see, when god made man,
00:19:09.424 --> 00:19:10.692
It's not automatic. see, when god made man, god made man with a free choice.
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:12.361
See, when god made man, god made man with a free choice. god does not want a being that

God made man with a free choice. god does not want a being that he has created in his image
00:19:15.430 --> 00:19:16.999
God does not want a being that he has created in his image to have no free choice.
00:19:17.065 --> 00:19:18.934
He has created in his image to have no free choice. but this is the thing you see,
00:19:19.001 --> 00:19:20.068
To have no free choice. but this is the thing you see, when god made man and woman,
00:19:20.135 --> 00:19:21.203
But this is the thing you see, when god made man and woman, god surrounded them
00:19:21.270 --> 00:19:22.471
When god made man and woman, god surrounded them with so many, not so many,
00:19:22.537 --> 00:19:25.374
God surrounded them with so many, not so many, it's wrong to say so many.
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:26.908
With so many, not so many, it's wrong to say so many. everything that was good for
00:19:26.975 --> 00:19:29.278
It's wrong to say so many. everything that was good for them, that was beneficial
00:19:29.344 --> 00:19:31.380
Everything that was good for them, that was beneficial for them, that was abundant for
00:19:31.446 --> 00:19:33.348
Them, that was beneficial for them, that was abundant for them, that was rich for them.

For them, that was abundant for them, that was rich for them. it's all for them.
00:19:36.618 --> 00:19:37.853
Them, that was rich for them. it's all for them. everything around them is good.
00:19:37.919 --> 00:19:40.389
It's all for them. everything around them is good. people ask, "why did god
00:19:40.455 --> 00:19:42.391
Everything around them is good. people ask, "why did god put that tree in the center
00:19:42.457 --> 00:19:44.426
People ask, "why did god put that tree in the center of the garden and tell them
00:19:44.493 --> 00:19:45.460
Put that tree in the center of the garden and tell them not to eat from that tree?"
00:19:45.527 --> 00:19:46.695
Of the garden and tell them not to eat from that tree?" god has to.
00:19:46.762 --> 00:19:48.397
Not to eat from that tree?" god has to. because if he created a man
00:19:48.463 --> 00:19:49.931
God has to. because if he created a man with a free choice
00:19:49.998 --> 00:19:51.033
Because if he created a man with a free choice and he surround himself
00:19:51.099 --> 00:19:52.000
With a free choice and he surround himself with everything good around
00:19:52.067 --> 00:19:54.403
And he surround himself with everything good around that man and say,
00:19:54.469 --> 00:19:58.140
With everything good around that man and say, "remember, my advice
00:19:58.206 --> 00:19:59.374
That man and say, "remember, my advice is choose good."
00:19:59.441 --> 00:20:02.444
"remember, my advice is choose good." you know what i'm saying or not?

Is choose good." you know what i'm saying or not? everything i choose is good.
00:20:03.445 --> 00:20:04.413
You know what i'm saying or not? everything i choose is good. why?
00:20:04.479 --> 00:20:05.681
Everything i choose is good. why? so in order for
00:20:05.747 --> 00:20:06.214
Why? so in order for god's judicial side,
00:20:06.281 --> 00:20:09.518
So in order for god's judicial side, okay, to be portrayed,
00:20:09.584 --> 00:20:10.619
God's judicial side, okay, to be portrayed, to be showed,
00:20:10.686 --> 00:20:11.787
Okay, to be portrayed, to be showed, or else the devil himself
00:20:11.853 --> 00:20:12.621
To be showed, or else the devil himself will say, "you never
00:20:12.688 --> 00:20:13.522
Or else the devil himself will say, "you never give man a choice,"
00:20:13.588 --> 00:20:14.356
Will say, "you never give man a choice," there must be at least
00:20:14.423 --> 00:20:15.223
Give man a choice," there must be at least one tree that will cause man
00:20:15.290 --> 00:20:18.026
There must be at least one tree that will cause man to choose whether
00:20:18.093 --> 00:20:19.528
One tree that will cause man to choose whether he still wants god or not.
00:20:19.594 --> 00:20:22.464
To choose whether he still wants god or not. unfortunately,
00:20:22.531 --> 00:20:23.398
He still wants god or not. unfortunately, there's the very one tree.
00:20:23.465 --> 00:20:24.566
Unfortunately, there's the very one tree. the devil himself came and said,
00:20:24.633 --> 00:20:26.301
There's the very one tree. the devil himself came and said, "god--is god generous?"
00:20:26.368 --> 00:20:27.336
The devil himself came and said, "god--is god generous?" by the way, the devil always
00:20:27.402 --> 00:20:28.804
"god--is god generous?" by the way, the devil always make god to be more stingy
00:20:28.870 --> 00:20:29.805
By the way, the devil always make god to be more stingy than he really is, okay?
00:20:29.871 --> 00:20:32.341
Make god to be more stingy than he really is, okay? god is a good god.
00:20:32.407 --> 00:20:33.975
Than he really is, okay? god is a good god. he is the one that comes to give
00:20:34.042 --> 00:20:35.677
God is a good god. he is the one that comes to give and to give and to bless and to
00:20:35.744 --> 00:20:37.245
He is the one that comes to give and to give and to bless and to bless and to heal and to heal
00:20:37.312 --> 00:20:39.348
And to give and to bless and to bless and to heal and to heal and to build you up
00:20:39.414 --> 00:20:40.182
Bless and to heal and to heal and to build you up and to build you up, amen.
00:20:40.248 --> 00:20:41.850
And to build you up and to build you up, amen. he doesn't come to kill
00:20:41.917 --> 00:20:42.784
And to build you up, amen. he doesn't come to kill and steal and destroy.
00:20:42.851 --> 00:20:44.453
He doesn't come to kill and steal and destroy. the devil does that.
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:46.021
And steal and destroy. the devil does that. now once man choose
00:20:46.088 --> 00:20:47.356
The devil does that. now once man choose the wrong side,
00:20:47.422 --> 00:20:48.457
Now once man choose the wrong side, god cannot say, "aye, aye,
00:20:48.523 --> 00:20:49.458
The wrong side, god cannot say, "aye, aye, never mind," lah, you know?
00:20:49.524 --> 00:20:50.759
God cannot say, "aye, aye, never mind," lah, you know? god cannot do that.
00:20:50.826 --> 00:20:52.494
Never mind," lah, you know? god cannot do that. god has to win man back
00:20:52.561 --> 00:20:54.463
God cannot do that. god has to win man back righteously, judiciously.
00:20:54.529 --> 00:20:56.531
God has to win man back righteously, judiciously. hence the cross of jesus christ.
00:20:56.598 --> 00:20:58.967
Righteously, judiciously. hence the cross of jesus christ. there, all the sins of man
00:20:59.034 --> 00:21:01.036
Hence the cross of jesus christ. there, all the sins of man fell on jesus.
00:21:01.103 --> 00:21:03.171
There, all the sins of man fell on jesus. he died in our place.
00:21:03.238 --> 00:21:04.840
Fell on jesus. he died in our place. the bible records jesus's youth
00:21:04.906 --> 00:21:07.409
He died in our place. the bible records jesus's youth in just one passage
00:21:07.476 --> 00:21:08.877
The bible records jesus's youth in just one passage when he was 12 years old.
00:21:08.944 --> 00:21:11.913
In just one passage when he was 12 years old. and he told his parents when
00:21:11.980 --> 00:21:14.416
When he was 12 years old. and he told his parents when he was in the temple, "did you
00:21:14.483 --> 00:21:16.485
And he told his parents when he was in the temple, "did you not know i must be about
00:21:16.551 --> 00:21:17.819
He was in the temple, "did you not know i must be about my father's business?"
00:21:17.886 --> 00:21:20.489
Not know i must be about my father's business?" and the father's business is to
00:21:20.555 --> 00:21:21.857
My father's business?" and the father's business is to seek that which is lost, to heal
00:21:21.923 --> 00:21:24.760
And the father's business is to seek that which is lost, to heal that which is broken,
00:21:24.826 --> 00:21:26.495
Seek that which is lost, to heal that which is broken, to raise those who are dead.
00:21:26.561 --> 00:21:29.030
That which is broken, to raise those who are dead. and on the cross, he cried,
00:21:29.097 --> 00:21:30.665
To raise those who are dead. and on the cross, he cried, "finished!"
00:21:30.732 --> 00:21:32.501
And on the cross, he cried, "finished!" the assignment that he came
00:21:32.567 --> 00:21:33.835
"finished!" the assignment that he came to do was finished.
00:21:33.902 --> 00:21:36.538
The assignment that he came to do was finished. the law, the ten commandments,
00:21:36.605 --> 00:21:38.473
To do was finished. the law, the ten commandments, fulfilled in christ.
00:21:38.540 --> 00:21:41.443
The law, the ten commandments, fulfilled in christ. so then when you believe
00:21:41.510 --> 00:21:42.244
Fulfilled in christ. so then when you believe on christ, god gave you
00:21:42.310 --> 00:21:43.178
So then when you believe on christ, god gave you an a-plus as far
00:21:43.245 --> 00:21:44.880
On christ, god gave you an a-plus as far as the ten commandments
00:21:44.946 --> 00:21:46.415
An a-plus as far as the ten commandments is concerned,
00:21:46.481 --> 00:21:47.816
As the ten commandments is concerned, as if you kept them all.
00:21:47.883 --> 00:21:54.523
Is concerned, as if you kept them all. the devil's power over you
00:21:54.589 --> 00:21:56.425
As if you kept them all. the devil's power over you is now broken, finished.
00:21:56.491 --> 00:21:59.728
The devil's power over you is now broken, finished. he still act--a master deceiver
00:21:59.795 --> 00:22:02.998
Is now broken, finished. he still act--a master deceiver and a great liar is someone
00:22:03.064 --> 00:22:04.766
He still act--a master deceiver and a great liar is someone who knows to act like
00:22:04.833 --> 00:22:05.867
And a great liar is someone who knows to act like he has power when he has
00:22:05.934 --> 00:22:06.935
Who knows to act like he has power when he has no more power.
00:22:07.002 --> 00:22:11.006
He has power when he has no more power. and the bible says jesus
00:22:11.072 --> 00:22:13.341
No more power. and the bible says jesus went down during the three days
00:22:13.408 --> 00:22:15.610
And the bible says jesus went down during the three days and three nights.
00:22:15.677 --> 00:22:17.612
Went down during the three days and three nights. after he paid for our sins,
00:22:17.679 --> 00:22:18.814
And three nights. after he paid for our sins, he went down
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:20.015
After he paid for our sins, he went down to a place called sheol
00:22:20.081 --> 00:22:21.283
He went down to a place called sheol which is hell.
00:22:21.349 --> 00:22:23.218
To a place called sheol which is hell. and there, jesus proclaimed
00:22:23.285 --> 00:22:28.490
Which is hell. and there, jesus proclaimed the news that he was
00:22:28.557 --> 00:22:29.591
And there, jesus proclaimed the news that he was the long-promised messiah
00:22:29.658 --> 00:22:31.026
The news that he was the long-promised messiah in the old testament
00:22:31.092 --> 00:22:32.360
The long-promised messiah in the old testament to all those who were
00:22:32.427 --> 00:22:33.295
In the old testament to all those who were bound there.
00:22:33.361 --> 00:22:35.464
To all those who were bound there. this is not purgatory.
00:22:35.530 --> 00:22:37.132
Bound there. this is not purgatory. this is another teaching
00:22:37.199 --> 00:22:37.966
This is not purgatory. this is another teaching altogether.
00:22:38.033 --> 00:22:39.134
This is another teaching altogether. to all those who are righteous,
00:22:39.201 --> 00:22:40.635

To come before jesus came. that includes all the old testament saints.
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:47.275
That includes all the old testament saints. they were kept in a place
00:22:47.342 --> 00:22:48.176
All the old testament saints. they were kept in a place in hell.

In hell. not the suffering place, not the tormented place.
00:22:50.912 --> 00:22:52.080

00:22:54.182 --> 00:22:55.650
It's a place called paradise. today, it's vacant. jesus brought them all out with
00:22:55.717 --> 00:22:58.053
Today, it's vacant. jesus brought them all out with him when he rose from the dead.
00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:00.021
Jesus brought them all out with him when he rose from the dead. and jesus rose from the dead,

00:23:45.634 --> 00:23:47.068
A lot of things going on, not realizing that we have
00:23:47.135 --> 00:23:48.703

00:23:51.273 --> 00:23:52.908
