To take--to lie to you about your health, you have this or
00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:29.661
Your health, you have this or not, remember that you are

Already standing on your possession.
00:03:32.331 --> 00:03:33.131
Your possession. now you look at healing, or
00:03:33.198 --> 00:03:34.833
Now you look at healing, or whether it's peace that you want
00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:37.302
Whether it's peace that you want from your depression or
00:03:37.369 --> 00:03:38.670
From your depression or addiction and all that,
00:03:38.737 --> 00:03:40.172
Addiction and all that, remember this.
00:03:40.238 --> 00:03:41.106
Remember this. it's not a ground that you want
00:03:41.173 --> 00:03:42.574
It's not a ground that you want to take.
00:03:42.641 --> 00:03:43.742
To take. so you pray to take the ground.
00:03:43.809 --> 00:03:45.610
So you pray to take the ground. once you pray that way, you are
00:03:45.677 --> 00:03:46.945
Once you pray that way, you are praying from defeat.
00:03:47.012 --> 00:03:49.181
Praying from defeat. we don't pray from defeat.
00:03:49.247 --> 00:03:50.415
We don't pray from defeat. we are already on

We are already on healing ground.
00:03:51.149 --> 00:03:52.517

All to stand." all you gotta do is stand.
00:04:11.336 --> 00:04:12.304
All you gotta do is stand. stand, the devil wants to move
00:04:12.371 --> 00:04:13.105
Stand, the devil wants to move you away from your position, and
00:04:13.171 --> 00:04:15.140
Many a times, he makes us do
00:04:15.207 --> 00:04:17.008
Many a times, he makes us do things that are "christian,"
00:04:17.075 --> 00:04:19.711
Things that are "christian," nothing wrong.
00:04:19.778 --> 00:04:20.345
Nothing wrong. you pray, but when you pray out
00:04:20.412 --> 00:04:22.114
You pray, but when you pray out of desperation, you move
00:04:22.180 --> 00:04:23.281
Of desperation, you move yourself out of that position.

The gospel of grace that we preach.
00:05:10.529 --> 00:05:11.196
We preach. every piece of it has got to
00:05:11.263 --> 00:05:12.697
Every piece of it has got to do with it.
00:05:12.764 --> 00:05:13.398
Do with it. it's nothing to do with
00:05:13.465 --> 00:05:14.332
It's nothing to do with the old covenant.
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:14.933
The old covenant. it's got to do with
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:15.801
It's got to do with new covenant, and if you have
00:05:15.867 --> 00:05:17.402
New covenant, and if you have wrong believing in any one of
00:05:17.469 --> 00:05:18.703
Wrong believing in any one of these areas, there's an area
00:05:18.770 --> 00:05:20.472
These areas, there's an area where the devil can attack.
00:05:20.539 --> 00:05:22.507
Where you can be shaken off
00:05:22.574 --> 00:05:23.408
Where you can be shaken off from your position.
00:05:23.475 --> 00:05:24.209
From your position. are you listening?
00:05:24.276 --> 00:05:25.177
Are you listening? so the first one is, "stand
00:05:25.243 --> 00:05:26.912
So the first one is, "stand therefore, having girded your
00:05:26.978 --> 00:05:28.513
Therefore, having girded your waist with truth."
00:05:28.580 --> 00:05:29.347
Waist with truth." now, the assumption is that,
00:05:29.414 --> 00:05:30.449
Now, the assumption is that, "having girded," means past
00:05:30.515 --> 00:05:31.349
"having girded," means past tense, right?
00:05:31.416 --> 00:05:31.850
Tense, right? a rear tense here and it
00:05:31.917 --> 00:05:32.651
A rear tense here and it says, "having girded," that
00:05:32.717 --> 00:05:34.719
Means you have your belt
00:05:34.786 --> 00:05:35.720
Means you have your belt of truth.
00:05:35.787 --> 00:05:36.288
Of truth. now, how many under the sound of
00:05:36.354 --> 00:05:37.456
Now, how many under the sound of my voice have received the truth
00:05:37.522 --> 00:05:39.491
My voice have received the truth and the truth has set you free?
00:05:39.558 --> 00:05:41.426
And the truth has set you free? amen, you're born again.
00:05:41.493 --> 00:05:42.527
Amen, you're born again. if you're not, by the end of
00:05:42.594 --> 00:05:43.462
If you're not, by the end of this service, praise god,
00:05:43.528 --> 00:05:44.629
This service, praise god, you can get saved right now.
00:05:44.696 --> 00:05:45.530
You can get saved right now. just ask jesus to come into your
00:05:45.597 --> 00:05:46.932
Just ask jesus to come into your life, believe on him, he died
00:05:46.998 --> 00:05:48.300
Life, believe on him, he died for your sins, amen.
00:05:48.366 --> 00:05:50.402
For your sins, amen. praise the lord, and you
00:05:50.469 --> 00:05:51.803
Praise the lord, and you are saved.
00:05:51.870 --> 00:05:52.370
Are saved. now your loins are girded
00:05:52.437 --> 00:05:53.505
Now your loins are girded with truth.
00:05:53.572 --> 00:05:54.206
With truth. what are your belt--what is your
00:05:54.272 --> 00:05:55.507
What are your belt--what is your belt for?
00:05:55.574 --> 00:05:56.508
Belt for? all right, what's your belt for?
00:05:56.575 --> 00:05:58.043
All right, what's your belt for? to hold up your pants!
00:05:58.109 --> 00:06:00.579
To hold up your pants! now in those days, the armor of
00:06:00.645 --> 00:06:01.513
Now in those days, the armor of god, this is the armor, okay,
00:06:01.580 --> 00:06:03.548
God's armor.
00:06:03.615 --> 00:06:04.416
God's armor. notice, "take up the whole armor
00:06:04.483 --> 00:06:06.051
Notice, "take up the whole armor of god," verse 13.
00:06:06.117 --> 00:06:07.452
Of god," verse 13. this is the armor of god.
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:08.353
This is the armor of god. it's not our armor, and yet,
00:06:08.420 --> 00:06:09.821
It's not our armor, and yet, paul is using the analogy of
00:06:09.888 --> 00:06:10.989
Paul is using the analogy of the romans at that time.
00:06:11.056 --> 00:06:13.024
Their belt is not just to hold
00:06:13.091 --> 00:06:14.759
Their belt is not just to hold up their pants.
00:06:14.826 --> 00:06:16.528
Up their pants. it's to--where they hold up
00:06:16.595 --> 00:06:18.964
It's to--where they hold up their sword, the scabbard.
00:06:19.030 --> 00:06:20.765
Their sword, the scabbard. all right, the sword and also
00:06:20.832 --> 00:06:22.968
All right, the sword and also all their small daggers, amen,
00:06:23.034 --> 00:06:25.871
All their small daggers, amen, and all their possessions are
00:06:25.937 --> 00:06:27.005
And all their possessions are actually in their
00:06:27.072 --> 00:06:29.174
Actually in their special girdle.
00:06:29.241 --> 00:06:31.276
Special girdle. "having put on the breastplate
00:06:31.343 --> 00:06:33.311
Of righteousness."
00:06:33.378 --> 00:06:33.945
Of righteousness." now, breastplate
00:06:34.012 --> 00:06:34.813
Now, breastplate of righteousness.
00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:35.680
Of righteousness. the romans, they have this
00:06:35.747 --> 00:06:36.781
The romans, they have this breastplate of righteousness.
00:06:36.848 --> 00:06:38.550
Breastplate of righteousness. you ever saw that?
00:06:38.617 --> 00:06:39.918
You ever saw that? it extends all the way
00:06:39.985 --> 00:06:41.152
It extends all the way to your--it's a one piece here.
00:06:41.219 --> 00:06:42.587
To your--it's a one piece here. it's a whole piece here that
00:06:42.654 --> 00:06:43.655
It's a whole piece here that covers your abdominal areas.
00:06:43.722 --> 00:06:45.957
Guys, have you seen that before?
00:06:46.024 --> 00:06:47.526
Guys, have you seen that before? they have this six-pack.
00:06:47.592 --> 00:06:49.294
They have this six-pack. i love that, and then when you
00:06:49.361 --> 00:06:51.062
I love that, and then when you watch a ben hur movie or one of
00:06:51.129 --> 00:06:52.531
Watch a ben hur movie or one of those kind of movies, they take
00:06:52.597 --> 00:06:53.532
Those kind of movies, they take off that whole piece.
00:06:53.598 --> 00:06:54.366
Off that whole piece. oh man, the guy just flabby.
00:06:54.432 --> 00:06:57.135
Oh man, the guy just flabby. you feel that?
00:06:57.202 --> 00:06:57.702
You feel that? put it back on bro, amen.
00:06:57.769 --> 00:06:59.871
Put it back on bro, amen. i feel like putting that on all
00:06:59.938 --> 00:07:01.006
I feel like putting that on all the time, amen.
00:07:01.072 --> 00:07:02.407
The time, amen. some of them have
00:07:02.474 --> 00:07:03.875
Some of them have eight pieces, amen.
00:07:03.942 --> 00:07:05.844
Eight pieces, amen. so when they put on,
00:07:05.911 --> 00:07:07.312
So when they put on, the whole piece comes on.
00:07:07.379 --> 00:07:08.146
The whole piece comes on. it's a breastplate because this
00:07:08.213 --> 00:07:09.281
It's a breastplate because this area is the most severe.
00:07:09.347 --> 00:07:10.849
Area is the most severe. in warfare, all right, if you
00:07:10.916 --> 00:07:12.350
In warfare, all right, if you get stabbed in your heart, you
00:07:12.417 --> 00:07:13.518
Get stabbed in your heart, you get stabbed in your lungs,
00:07:13.585 --> 00:07:14.185
Get stabbed in your lungs, you can die, amen.
00:07:14.252 --> 00:07:16.221
So the breastplate covers the
00:07:16.288 --> 00:07:17.222
So the breastplate covers the whole thing, and what is
00:07:17.289 --> 00:07:18.023
Whole thing, and what is the breastplate?
00:07:18.089 --> 00:07:18.623
The breastplate? it is the breastplate
00:07:18.690 --> 00:07:19.724
It is the breastplate of righteousness.
00:07:19.791 --> 00:07:21.326
Of righteousness. now some people, when they teach
00:07:21.393 --> 00:07:22.527
Now some people, when they teach on this part here, the armor,
00:07:22.594 --> 00:07:24.062
On this part here, the armor, they teach that it's your
00:07:24.129 --> 00:07:25.030
They teach that it's your moral integrity.
00:07:25.096 --> 00:07:26.264
Moral integrity. it is your right doing.
00:07:26.331 --> 00:07:28.333
It is not.
00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:29.267
It is not. every piece here has got to do
00:07:29.334 --> 00:07:31.002
Every piece here has got to do with the gospel.
00:07:31.069 --> 00:07:33.071
With the gospel. it has got to do with objective
00:07:33.138 --> 00:07:36.741
It has got to do with objective truths, not subjective truths.
00:07:36.808 --> 00:07:39.978
Truths, not subjective truths. it's not your inward
00:07:40.045 --> 00:07:41.446
It's not your inward righteousness that you work out
00:07:41.513 --> 00:07:43.615
Righteousness that you work out that gives you the breastplate.
00:07:43.682 --> 00:07:45.350
That gives you the breastplate. if you think that way, you're
00:07:45.417 --> 00:07:46.751
If you think that way, you're never sure you have your
00:07:46.818 --> 00:07:47.752
Never sure you have your breastplate on.
00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:48.954
Breastplate on. no, you are the righteousness of
00:07:49.020 --> 00:07:50.422
No, you are the righteousness of god in christ, amen.
00:07:50.488 --> 00:07:51.923
God in christ, amen. that's your breastplate from the
00:07:51.990 --> 00:07:53.224
That's your breastplate from the accusations and the fiery darts
00:07:53.291 --> 00:07:54.859
Accusations and the fiery darts of the enemy.
00:07:54.926 --> 00:07:55.994
Of the enemy. all right, the enemy aims at
00:07:56.061 --> 00:07:57.128
All right, the enemy aims at your heart.
00:07:57.195 --> 00:07:57.929
Your heart. he comes to you and says things
00:07:57.996 --> 00:07:59.230
He comes to you and says things so that your heart will be--you
00:07:59.297 --> 00:08:00.298
So that your heart will be--you will condemned, and the bible
00:08:00.365 --> 00:08:02.801
Will condemned, and the bible says, if our heart condemn us.
00:08:02.867 --> 00:08:05.570
Says, if our heart condemn us. the devil wants to condemn our
00:08:05.637 --> 00:08:07.105
The devil wants to condemn our hearts, correct?
00:08:07.172 --> 00:08:09.240
Hearts, correct? okay, so this part that you must
00:08:09.307 --> 00:08:11.209
Okay, so this part that you must be established in righteousness.
00:08:11.276 --> 00:08:13.178
Be established in righteousness. can i have a good amen?
00:08:13.244 --> 00:08:14.346
Can i have a good amen? your inward man many a times is
00:08:14.412 --> 00:08:15.780
Your inward man many a times is known as the hidden man of the
00:08:15.847 --> 00:08:17.115
Known as the hidden man of the heart, known as your heart, your
00:08:17.182 --> 00:08:18.783
Heart, known as your heart, your inward heart, okay?
00:08:18.850 --> 00:08:19.851
Inward heart, okay? that must be protected by
00:08:19.918 --> 00:08:21.453
That must be protected by knowing that you are the
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.488
Righteousness of god in christ.
00:08:23.555 --> 00:08:24.923
Righteousness of god in christ. can i have a good amen?
00:08:24.990 --> 00:08:25.890
Can i have a good amen? then it says, "having shod your
00:08:25.957 --> 00:08:27.692
Then it says, "having shod your feet with the preparation of the
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:28.960
Feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace."
00:08:29.027 --> 00:08:30.528
Gospel of peace." now, your shoes is called the
00:08:30.595 --> 00:08:32.063
Now, your shoes is called the gospel of peace.
00:08:32.130 --> 00:08:33.331
Gospel of peace. i say the gospel of peace.
00:08:33.398 --> 00:08:36.468
Now this word preparation in the
00:08:36.534 --> 00:08:38.169
Now this word preparation in the greek is the word preparation,
00:08:38.236 --> 00:08:41.339
Greek is the word preparation, but i like what w.e. vines
00:08:41.406 --> 00:08:42.941
But i like what w.e. vines says about this
00:08:43.008 --> 00:08:44.342
Says about this word preparation.
00:08:44.409 --> 00:08:45.844
Word preparation. he has this little insight from
00:08:45.910 --> 00:08:47.512
He has this little insight from the septuagint, the greek
00:08:47.579 --> 00:08:49.080
The septuagint, the greek version of the old testament,
00:08:49.147 --> 00:08:50.348
Version of the old testament, where in psalms it says,
00:08:50.415 --> 00:08:52.350
Where in psalms it says, "righteousness and justice are
00:08:52.417 --> 00:08:54.052
"righteousness and justice are the foundation of god's throne."
00:08:54.119 --> 00:08:55.887
The foundation of god's throne." the word foundation there,
00:08:55.954 --> 00:08:57.355
The word foundation there, all right?
00:08:57.422 --> 00:08:58.056
All right? of course, old testament is in
00:08:58.123 --> 00:08:58.990
Of course, old testament is in hebrew, but the greek version,
00:08:59.057 --> 00:09:00.925
Hebrew, but the greek version, the septuagint says exactly the
00:09:00.992 --> 00:09:03.094
Same word as preparation.
00:09:03.161 --> 00:09:06.131
Same word as preparation. in other words, w.e. vine says
00:09:06.197 --> 00:09:08.099
Most likely this verse actually
00:09:08.299 --> 00:09:09.668
Most likely this verse actually means, all right,
00:09:09.734 --> 00:09:10.602
Means, all right, not preparation.
00:09:10.669 --> 00:09:12.137
Not preparation. your shoes as a preparation of
00:09:12.203 --> 00:09:13.104
Your shoes as a preparation of the gospel of peace, but it's
00:09:13.171 --> 00:09:15.073
The gospel of peace, but it's actually your foundation.
00:09:15.140 --> 00:09:16.474
Actually your foundation. it is your firm footing.
00:09:16.541 --> 00:09:18.309
It is your firm footing. when you have the gospel of
00:09:18.376 --> 00:09:19.944
When you have the gospel of peace, you know you're on firm
00:09:20.011 --> 00:09:22.681
Peace, you know you're on firm footing, amen, because the
00:09:22.747 --> 00:09:25.083
Footing, amen, because the gospel of peace does not depend
00:09:25.150 --> 00:09:26.518
Gospel of peace does not depend on you.
00:09:26.584 --> 00:09:27.385
On you. it depends on christ.
00:09:27.452 --> 00:09:28.787
It depends on christ. it's not about how bad you are.
00:09:28.853 --> 00:09:30.388
It's not about how bad you are. it's about how good he is.
00:09:30.455 --> 00:09:31.823
It's about how good he is. it's not how faithful you are.
00:09:31.890 --> 00:09:33.191
It's not how faithful you are. it's how faithful he is.
00:09:33.258 --> 00:09:34.459
It's how faithful he is. it's not how obedient you are.
00:09:34.526 --> 00:09:36.061
It's not how obedient you are. it's by the obedience of christ,
00:09:36.127 --> 00:09:37.962
It's by the obedience of christ, and that's what we must bring
00:09:38.029 --> 00:09:39.197
And that's what we must bring our thoughts to, to the
00:09:39.264 --> 00:09:40.131
Our thoughts to, to the obedience of christ,
00:09:40.198 --> 00:09:41.332
Obedience of christ, not our obedience.
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:42.300
Not our obedience. the moment it's got to do with
00:09:42.367 --> 00:09:43.601
The moment it's got to do with you, you know you will fail.
00:09:43.668 --> 00:09:45.603
You, you know you will fail. you are no more on firm
00:09:45.670 --> 00:09:46.638
You are no more on firm footing, okay?
00:09:46.705 --> 00:09:48.673
Next, so, "above all, taking the
00:09:48.740 --> 00:09:51.543

Before he gave the ten commandments.
00:11:53.131 --> 00:11:55.133
God told them the moment they

00:12:12.717 --> 00:12:13.785
Flinty rock. god took care of them, not
00:12:13.852 --> 00:12:14.886
God took care of them, not because they were good,
00:12:14.953 --> 00:12:15.753
Because they were good, but because he is good.
00:12:15.820 --> 00:12:17.121
But because he is good. not because they were faithful,
00:12:17.188 --> 00:12:17.989
Not because they were faithful, because he is faithful, but god
00:12:18.056 --> 00:12:19.257
Because he is faithful, but god brought them out and all of a
00:12:19.324 --> 00:12:20.225
Brought them out and all of a sudden, they took their position
00:12:20.291 --> 00:12:22.227
Sudden, they took their position on, "kol asher dibir
00:12:22.293 --> 00:12:23.261
On, "kol asher dibir adonai, na'aseh."
00:12:23.328 --> 00:12:24.229
Adonai, na'aseh." "all that god says to us,

"all that god says to us, we can do it."
00:12:25.630 --> 00:12:26.130
We can do it." long before, they even heard the
00:12:26.197 --> 00:12:27.732
Long before, they even heard the ten commandments men presumed
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:30.001
Ten commandments men presumed on his strength.
00:12:30.068 --> 00:12:30.969
On his strength. straight away, god told moses,
00:12:31.035 --> 00:12:32.403
Straight away, god told moses, "moses tell them, don't come
00:12:32.470 --> 00:12:33.571
"moses tell them, don't come near, and even if a man or a
00:12:33.638 --> 00:12:37.208
Near, and even if a man or a beast touches mount sinai," the

Beast touches mount sinai," the mountain of law, "it will die."
00:12:39.577 --> 00:12:41.479
How does it die?
00:12:42.213 --> 00:12:43.214
How does it die? it will be stone or shot with
00:12:43.281 --> 00:12:44.782
It will be stone or shot with an arrow.
00:12:44.849 --> 00:12:45.950
An arrow. the bible says when god came
00:12:46.017 --> 00:12:47.151
The bible says when god came down, there was an appearance
00:12:47.218 --> 00:12:49.454
Of fire.
00:12:49.520 --> 00:12:50.188
Of fire. okay, the fiery dart--the fiery
00:12:50.255 --> 00:12:53.091
Okay, the fiery dart--the fiery arrow, and this word arrow is
00:12:53.157 --> 00:12:54.626
Arrow, and this word arrow is the same from the root word,
00:12:54.692 --> 00:12:56.160
The same from the root word, we get fiery dart.
00:12:56.227 --> 00:12:57.262
We get fiery dart. the "belos," the

Can happen. i'm going to tell you right now.
00:14:52.710 --> 00:14:53.911
I'm going to tell you right now. if you jump ahead, verse 18,
00:14:53.978 --> 00:14:55.613
If you jump ahead, verse 18, look at verse 18 down there.
00:14:55.680 --> 00:14:57.148
Look at verse 18 down there. "praying always with all prayer
00:14:57.215 --> 00:14:58.316
"praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit."
00:14:58.383 --> 00:15:00.351
And supplication in the spirit." right, so that's one way.
00:15:00.418 --> 00:15:01.853
Right, so that's one way. and the word quench is what?
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:02.653
And the word quench is what? when you hear the word quench,
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.689
What kind of idea do you
00:15:04.756 --> 00:15:05.823
What kind of idea do you have, quench?
00:15:05.890 --> 00:15:07.592
Have, quench? water, very good.
00:15:07.658 --> 00:15:09.660
Water, very good. water, and fiery.
00:15:09.727 --> 00:15:11.262
Water, and fiery. fire and water, who wins, water.
00:15:11.329 --> 00:15:14.432
Fire and water, who wins, water. so you pray.
00:15:14.499 --> 00:15:15.800
So you pray. as you pray in the spirit,
00:15:15.867 --> 00:15:17.468
As you pray in the spirit, you're praying in tongues.
00:15:17.535 --> 00:15:18.970
You're praying in tongues. it quenches all the fiery
00:15:19.037 --> 00:15:20.204
It quenches all the fiery thoughts of the wicked, amen.
00:15:20.271 --> 00:15:22.306
Thoughts of the wicked, amen. i remember years ago, the helmet
00:15:22.373 --> 00:15:23.808
I remember years ago, the helmet of salvation for me wasn't
00:15:23.875 --> 00:15:25.476
Of salvation for me wasn't working too well because i
00:15:25.543 --> 00:15:26.677
Working too well because i remember how it happened.
00:15:26.744 --> 00:15:28.312
Remember how it happened. i had a bout where i started
00:15:28.379 --> 00:15:30.181
I had a bout where i started believing that i had committed
00:15:30.248 --> 00:15:31.449
Believing that i had committed the unpardonable sin.
00:15:31.516 --> 00:15:32.483
The unpardonable sin. now i tell you what happened.
00:15:32.550 --> 00:15:34.218
Now i tell you what happened. i can trace it back to the very
00:15:34.285 --> 00:15:35.486
I can trace it back to the very day that my thoughts became
00:15:35.553 --> 00:15:37.388
Day that my thoughts became an open field to the devil's
00:15:37.455 --> 00:15:40.124
An open field to the devil's thoughts and fiery darts.
00:15:40.191 --> 00:15:41.926
Thoughts and fiery darts. it's almost like the gates open.
00:15:41.993 --> 00:15:42.827
It's almost like the gates open. i don't know what happened.
00:15:42.894 --> 00:15:43.795
I don't know what happened. the gates open and almost every
00:15:43.861 --> 00:15:45.963
The gates open and almost every other hour, i have blasphemous
00:15:46.030 --> 00:15:47.598
Other hour, i have blasphemous thoughts about god.
00:15:47.665 --> 00:15:48.933
Thoughts about god. later on, i found out that
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:49.734
Later on, i found out that john bunyan also suffered that.
00:15:49.801 --> 00:15:51.803
John bunyan also suffered that. john bunyan of
00:15:51.869 --> 00:15:52.403
John bunyan of "pilgrim's progress."
00:15:52.470 --> 00:15:53.237
"pilgrim's progress." i was so encouraged
00:15:53.304 --> 00:15:54.205
I was so encouraged to know that.
00:15:54.272 --> 00:15:54.839
To know that. that he went through
00:15:54.906 --> 00:15:55.606
That he went through the same journey.
00:15:55.673 --> 00:15:56.307
The same journey. the one who wrote
00:15:56.374 --> 00:15:57.008
The one who wrote "abounding grace
00:15:57.075 --> 00:15:57.708
"abounding grace to the chief of sinners."
00:15:57.775 --> 00:15:58.576
To the chief of sinners." the one who wrote
00:15:58.643 --> 00:15:59.243
The one who wrote "pilgrim's progress."
00:15:59.310 --> 00:16:00.211
"pilgrim's progress." all right, he had
00:16:00.278 --> 00:16:01.145
All right, he had the same problem.
00:16:01.212 --> 00:16:01.746
The same problem. his blasphemous thoughts,
00:16:01.813 --> 00:16:03.247
His blasphemous thoughts, but what opened that door?
00:16:03.314 --> 00:16:05.383
But what opened that door? i had very bad thoughts about
00:16:05.450 --> 00:16:06.551
I had very bad thoughts about god almost constantly.
00:16:06.617 --> 00:16:08.052
God almost constantly. i tell you what opened the door,
00:16:08.119 --> 00:16:08.986
I tell you what opened the door, i read a book.
00:16:09.053 --> 00:16:10.788
I read a book. i read a book.
00:16:10.855 --> 00:16:11.389
I read a book. i got hold already of good
00:16:11.456 --> 00:16:13.191
I got hold already of good teachings and all that,
00:16:13.257 --> 00:16:14.325
Teachings and all that, all right, and i don't blame
00:16:14.392 --> 00:16:16.227
All right, and i don't blame the author of this book.
00:16:16.294 --> 00:16:17.462
The author of this book. it's not his fault in the way i
00:16:17.528 --> 00:16:19.630
It's not his fault in the way i receive it, but nonetheless, i
00:16:19.697 --> 00:16:21.632
Receive it, but nonetheless, i read this book, christian book,
00:16:21.699 --> 00:16:23.568
Read this book, christian book, and it says that you can lose
00:16:23.634 --> 00:16:24.602
And it says that you can lose your salvation.
00:16:24.669 --> 00:16:26.037
Your salvation. i don't know why it bothered me.
00:16:26.104 --> 00:16:28.906
I don't know why it bothered me. all of a sudden, i said, "wow,
00:16:28.973 --> 00:16:30.741
All of a sudden, i said, "wow, i was enjoying this romance
00:16:30.808 --> 00:16:33.177
I was enjoying this romance with the king.
00:16:33.244 --> 00:16:33.778
With the king. i was enjoying the lord's love.
00:16:33.845 --> 00:16:36.147
I was enjoying the lord's love. i was enjoying the peace of god.
00:16:36.214 --> 00:16:38.583
I was enjoying the peace of god. i thought it was secure forever,
00:16:38.649 --> 00:16:39.817
I thought it was secure forever, but all of a sudden, i read this
00:16:39.884 --> 00:16:40.918
But all of a sudden, i read this book and it says you can lose
00:16:40.985 --> 00:16:41.986
Book and it says you can lose your salvation."
00:16:42.053 --> 00:16:42.987
Your salvation." a christian can lose his
00:16:43.054 --> 00:16:45.123
A christian can lose his salvation, and the guy went to
00:16:45.189 --> 00:16:46.224
Salvation, and the guy went to point out some ways that you can
00:16:46.290 --> 00:16:47.291
Point out some ways that you can lose your salvation, and the
00:16:47.358 --> 00:16:48.793
Lose your salvation, and the moment i heard that, or i read
00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:50.561
Moment i heard that, or i read that, something happened to me.
00:16:50.628 --> 00:16:53.998
That, something happened to me. it's as if my mind, the helmet,
00:16:54.065 --> 00:16:57.502
It's as if my mind, the helmet, opened up.
00:16:57.568 --> 00:17:00.037
Opened up. the hope of salvation was gone.
00:17:00.104 --> 00:17:04.509
The hope of salvation was gone. the confident expectation of
00:17:04.575 --> 00:17:07.111
The confident expectation of salvation was gone.
00:17:07.178 --> 00:17:10.515
Salvation was gone. "i won't make it to the end.
00:17:10.581 --> 00:17:11.849
"i won't make it to the end. i might be safe now, but can
00:17:11.916 --> 00:17:13.484
I might be safe now, but can i make it?"
00:17:13.551 --> 00:17:14.085
I make it?" hope has to do with the future.
00:17:14.152 --> 00:17:15.386
Hope has to do with the future. "can i make it all the way?"
00:17:15.453 --> 00:17:18.189
"can i make it all the way?" i started worrying that i might
00:17:18.256 --> 00:17:20.791
I started worrying that i might lose my salvation, and the door
00:17:20.858 --> 00:17:23.060
Lose my salvation, and the door was open.
00:17:23.127 --> 00:17:23.628
Was open. all of a sudden, i had
00:17:23.694 --> 00:17:25.029
All of a sudden, i had a blasphemous thought about god
00:17:25.096 --> 00:17:26.197
A blasphemous thought about god and i said, "how can i think
00:17:26.264 --> 00:17:27.298
And i said, "how can i think that about god?"
00:17:27.365 --> 00:17:29.233
That about god?" another thought about god.
00:17:29.300 --> 00:17:31.602
Another thought about god. then another thought
00:17:31.669 --> 00:17:32.370
Then another thought about jesus.
00:17:32.436 --> 00:17:33.471
About jesus. another thought about the
00:17:33.538 --> 00:17:34.372
Another thought about the holy spirit, and the moment it
00:17:34.438 --> 00:17:35.573
Holy spirit, and the moment it came to the holy spirit,
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:37.308
Came to the holy spirit, this verse came to my mind.
00:17:37.375 --> 00:17:38.442
This verse came to my mind. another fiery thought.
00:17:38.509 --> 00:17:39.443
Another fiery thought. how many know the devil can
00:17:39.510 --> 00:17:40.411
How many know the devil can quote bible?
00:17:40.478 --> 00:17:43.581
Quote bible? but it's never accurate.
00:17:43.648 --> 00:17:45.850
But it's never accurate. so i didn't read it accurately
00:17:45.917 --> 00:17:47.118
So i didn't read it accurately and it says, you have committed
00:17:47.185 --> 00:17:48.819
And it says, you have committed the blasphemy against the
00:17:48.886 --> 00:17:51.489
The blasphemy against the holy spirit, and because you
00:17:51.556 --> 00:17:53.724
Holy spirit, and because you have committed blasphemy against
00:17:53.791 --> 00:17:55.026
Have committed blasphemy against the holy spirit, there's no more
00:17:55.092 --> 00:17:57.695
The holy spirit, there's no more forgiveness for you, but what
00:17:57.762 --> 00:17:58.963
Forgiveness for you, but what jesus said, all right, were
00:17:59.030 --> 00:18:01.566
Jesus said, all right, were people that saw him in person
00:18:01.632 --> 00:18:04.168
People that saw him in person and rejected him and says he has
00:18:04.235 --> 00:18:06.103
And rejected him and says he has an unclean spirit.
00:18:06.170 --> 00:18:07.371
An unclean spirit. it must be people who see him in
00:18:07.438 --> 00:18:09.173
It must be people who see him in person and people who will see
00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:11.842
Person and people who will see him in person when he returns,
00:18:11.909 --> 00:18:13.578
Him in person when he returns, not in the rapture, but
00:18:13.644 --> 00:18:14.745
Not in the rapture, but the second coming of christ.
00:18:14.812 --> 00:18:16.347
The second coming of christ. with the jews then,
00:18:16.414 --> 00:18:18.983
With the jews then, not with the believers.
00:18:19.050 --> 00:18:19.784
Not with the believers. believers, your sins
00:18:19.850 --> 00:18:20.851
Believers, your sins are forgiven.
00:18:20.918 --> 00:18:21.886
Are forgiven. when paul writes to the
00:18:21.953 --> 00:18:22.787
When paul writes to the believer, he says, "in whom we
00:18:22.853 --> 00:18:25.323
Believer, he says, "in whom we have redemption through his
00:18:25.389 --> 00:18:26.257
Have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins."
00:18:26.324 --> 00:18:28.092
Blood, the forgiveness of sins." in colossians, he says again,
00:18:28.159 --> 00:18:29.927
In colossians, he says again, "we have forgiveness of sins."
00:18:29.994 --> 00:18:32.230
"we have forgiveness of sins." in colossians again, he says,
00:18:32.296 --> 00:18:33.631
In colossians again, he says, "having forgiven you
00:18:33.698 --> 00:18:34.832
"having forgiven you all trespasses."
00:18:34.899 --> 00:18:36.467
All trespasses." that means what?
00:18:36.534 --> 00:18:37.134
That means what? god saw your entire life.
00:18:37.201 --> 00:18:38.102
God saw your entire life. we see from a time perspective,
00:18:38.169 --> 00:18:41.272
We see from a time perspective, day by day.
00:18:41.339 --> 00:18:42.006
Day by day. god sees your life until the day
00:18:42.073 --> 00:18:43.507
God sees your life until the day you die or the day you meet
00:18:43.574 --> 00:18:44.809
You die or the day you meet jesus face to face, amen,
00:18:44.875 --> 00:18:46.577
Jesus face to face, amen, in the rapture.
00:18:46.644 --> 00:18:47.545
In the rapture. god sees your entire life.
00:18:47.612 --> 00:18:48.546
God sees your entire life. when god put your sins on jesus
00:18:48.613 --> 00:18:50.081
When god put your sins on jesus and god says, "having forgiven
00:18:50.147 --> 00:18:51.315
And god says, "having forgiven you all," god means all.
00:18:51.382 --> 00:18:54.085
You all," god means all. now this won't cause people to
00:18:54.151 --> 00:18:55.653
Now this won't cause people to have, you know, a propensity to
00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:57.588
Have, you know, a propensity to want to sin knowing they are
00:18:57.655 --> 00:18:59.724
Want to sin knowing they are forgiven much, because jesus
00:18:59.790 --> 00:19:00.825
Forgiven much, because jesus says, "those who know they are
00:19:00.891 --> 00:19:02.026
Says, "those who know they are forgiven much will love
00:19:02.093 --> 00:19:03.694
Forgiven much will love him much."
00:19:03.761 --> 00:19:05.062
Him much." it's for the lack of preaching
00:19:05.129 --> 00:19:06.163
It's for the lack of preaching days, we see sins rampant in
00:19:06.230 --> 00:19:07.999
Days, we see sins rampant in the church.
00:19:08.065 --> 00:19:08.966
The church. we see people struggling,
00:19:09.033 --> 00:19:10.368
We see people struggling, you know.
00:19:10.434 --> 00:19:10.901
You know. and now back to my story again.
00:19:10.968 --> 00:19:12.803
And now back to my story again. i started having blasphemous
00:19:12.870 --> 00:19:13.671
I started having blasphemous thoughts about the holy spirit,
00:19:13.738 --> 00:19:14.939
Thoughts about the holy spirit, and all of a sudden--you know,
00:19:15.006 --> 00:19:16.007
And all of a sudden--you know, i didn't know it's been shot
00:19:16.073 --> 00:19:17.108
I didn't know it's been shot from outside.
00:19:17.174 --> 00:19:18.042
From outside. it felt so much coming
00:19:18.109 --> 00:19:19.143
It felt so much coming from inside.
00:19:19.210 --> 00:19:20.211
From inside. then this verse was quoted
00:19:20.278 --> 00:19:21.946
Then this verse was quoted to me.
00:19:22.013 --> 00:19:22.546
To me. "you blaspheme against the
00:19:22.613 --> 00:19:23.247
"you blaspheme against the holy spirit, you have no more
00:19:23.314 --> 00:19:24.548
Holy spirit, you have no more forgiveness," and jesus is not
00:19:24.615 --> 00:19:25.583
Forgiveness," and jesus is not referring to the believer.
00:19:25.650 --> 00:19:26.851
Referring to the believer. a believer cannot commit
00:19:26.917 --> 00:19:28.019
A believer cannot commit this sin.
00:19:28.085 --> 00:19:30.421
This sin. a believer cannot commit
00:19:30.488 --> 00:19:31.589
A believer cannot commit this sin.
00:19:31.656 --> 00:19:32.490
This sin. i tell you, i cannot sleep
00:19:32.556 --> 00:19:33.591
I tell you, i cannot sleep at night.
00:19:33.658 --> 00:19:35.426
At night. i cannot rest in the daytime.
00:19:35.493 --> 00:19:38.229
I cannot rest in the daytime. i was troubled.
00:19:38.296 --> 00:19:39.830
I was troubled. i went to this man of god to ask
00:19:39.897 --> 00:19:41.866
I went to this man of god to ask for deliverance.
00:19:41.932 --> 00:19:42.633
For deliverance. i went to that man of god
00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:43.701
I went to that man of god to ask for deliverance.
00:19:43.768 --> 00:19:45.703
To ask for deliverance. man, my life was hell.
00:19:45.770 --> 00:19:47.638
Man, my life was hell. all right, you can read
00:19:47.705 --> 00:19:48.572
All right, you can read all about this in
00:19:48.639 --> 00:19:49.240
All about this in "destined to reign,"
00:19:49.307 --> 00:19:49.907
"destined to reign," and probably in a few other
00:19:49.974 --> 00:19:50.941
And probably in a few other books that i've written,
00:19:51.008 --> 00:19:53.144
Books that i've written, but my life was like hell on
00:19:53.210 --> 00:19:56.447
But my life was like hell on earth because of my thoughts.
00:19:56.514 --> 00:19:59.150
Earth because of my thoughts. my thoughts became so dark,
00:19:59.216 --> 00:20:00.718
My thoughts became so dark, and the more i had those bad
00:20:00.785 --> 00:20:01.752
And the more i had those bad thoughts, the more i had bad
00:20:01.819 --> 00:20:02.720
Thoughts, the more i had bad thoughts about god, you know,
00:20:02.787 --> 00:20:05.589
Thoughts about god, you know, and all because i believe.
00:20:05.656 --> 00:20:07.591
And all because i believe. and it was this area that was
00:20:07.658 --> 00:20:08.993
And it was this area that was attacked, notice that?
00:20:09.060 --> 00:20:10.561
Attacked, notice that? that the helmet of salvation was
00:20:10.628 --> 00:20:12.763
That the helmet of salvation was no longer there because of wrong
00:20:12.830 --> 00:20:14.665
No longer there because of wrong believing, but when god brought
00:20:14.732 --> 00:20:17.201
Believing, but when god brought me back--that's when god
00:20:17.268 --> 00:20:18.102
Me back--that's when god introduced to me
00:20:18.169 --> 00:20:19.370
Introduced to me the gospel of grace.
00:20:19.437 --> 00:20:20.805
The gospel of grace. when god showed me that i am
00:20:20.871 --> 00:20:23.207
When god showed me that i am saved, and the bible says,
00:20:23.274 --> 00:20:24.542
Saved, and the bible says, "having obtained eternal
00:20:24.608 --> 00:20:25.943
"having obtained eternal redemption," and, "'i give them
00:20:26.010 --> 00:20:28.312
Redemption," and, "'i give them eternal life, no man can pluck
00:20:28.379 --> 00:20:30.981
Eternal life, no man can pluck them out of my hand.
00:20:31.048 --> 00:20:32.283
Them out of my hand. my father, who is greater than
00:20:32.350 --> 00:20:33.484
My father, who is greater than all,'" amen, "'has given me
00:20:33.551 --> 00:20:36.320
All,'" amen, "'has given me them; and no man can pluck them
00:20:36.387 --> 00:20:38.723
Them; and no man can pluck them out of my father's hand.'"
00:20:38.789 --> 00:20:39.924
Out of my father's hand.'" so you have the father's hand
00:20:39.990 --> 00:20:40.858
So you have the father's hand and jesus's hands, and we are
00:20:40.925 --> 00:20:42.126
And jesus's hands, and we are completely protected.
00:20:42.193 --> 00:20:43.494
Completely protected. so i understand when people go
00:20:43.561 --> 00:20:44.562
So i understand when people go through depression or that,
00:20:44.628 --> 00:20:45.596
Through depression or that, i don't take that lightly.
00:20:45.663 --> 00:20:46.664
I don't take that lightly. i've been through that, amen.
00:20:46.731 --> 00:20:49.700
I've been through that, amen. what got me out is
00:20:49.767 --> 00:20:52.470
What got me out is the gospel of grace.
00:20:52.536 --> 00:20:53.204
The gospel of grace. one last thing and then
00:20:53.270 --> 00:20:54.271
One last thing and then i'll close.
00:20:54.338 --> 00:20:54.905
I'll close. ephesians 6, verse 16.
00:20:54.972 --> 00:20:56.874
Verse 16 says, "above all,
00:20:58.075 --> 00:20:59.343
Verse 16 says, "above all, taking the shield of faith."
00:20:59.410 --> 00:21:00.111
Taking the shield of faith." do you know that the word faith
00:21:00.177 --> 00:21:02.713
Here has a definite article,
00:21:02.780 --> 00:21:04.315
Here has a definite article, "the faith."
00:21:04.382 --> 00:21:05.549
"the faith." we all think of faith as
00:21:05.616 --> 00:21:06.851
We all think of faith as a teaching.
00:21:06.917 --> 00:21:07.651
A teaching. you know, i have faith in
00:21:07.718 --> 00:21:08.853
You know, i have faith in healing, all right, so i put up
00:21:08.919 --> 00:21:10.521
Healing, all right, so i put up the shield of faith and all the
00:21:10.588 --> 00:21:11.822
The shield of faith and all the fiery darts of symptoms can't
00:21:11.889 --> 00:21:13.724
Fiery darts of symptoms can't come near me.
00:21:13.791 --> 00:21:14.825
Come near me. i think that's true.
00:21:14.892 --> 00:21:15.893
I think that's true. i'm not saying that's not true.
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:17.027
I'm not saying that's not true. it's a general truth, but
00:21:17.094 --> 00:21:18.763
It's a general truth, but specifically, all this has got
00:21:18.829 --> 00:21:20.631
Specifically, all this has got to do with the gospel truths,
00:21:20.698 --> 00:21:23.667
To do with the gospel truths, and when the bible says,
00:21:23.734 --> 00:21:24.802
And when the bible says, "the faith," it's referring to
00:21:24.869 --> 00:21:25.903
"the faith," it's referring to justification by faith.
00:21:25.970 --> 00:21:27.905
"taking the shield
00:21:29.707 --> 00:21:30.975
"taking the shield of the faith."
00:21:31.041 --> 00:21:32.810
Of the faith." young's translation is,
00:21:32.877 --> 00:21:34.845
Young's translation is, "taking the shield
00:21:34.912 --> 00:21:35.479
"taking the shield of the faith."
00:21:35.546 --> 00:21:37.515
"the faith" is there.
00:21:37.581 --> 00:21:39.083
"the faith" is there. sometimes in
00:21:39.150 --> 00:21:39.617
Sometimes in the book of galatians,
00:21:39.683 --> 00:21:40.284
The book of galatians, for example, it says,
00:21:40.351 --> 00:21:41.185
For example, it says, "after faith has come, we are
00:21:41.252 --> 00:21:42.753
"after faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster."
00:21:42.820 --> 00:21:44.321
No longer under a schoolmaster." actually, "the" is there.
00:21:44.388 --> 00:21:45.823
Actually, "the" is there. "after the faith has come."
00:21:45.890 --> 00:21:47.291
"after the faith has come." what is "the faith?"
00:21:47.358 --> 00:21:48.459
What is "the faith?" righteousness by faith.
00:21:48.526 --> 00:21:49.994
Righteousness by faith. are you listening, people?
00:21:50.060 --> 00:21:51.729
Are you listening, people? are you listening?
00:21:51.796 --> 00:21:52.963
Are you listening? and that is where we all want
00:21:53.030 --> 00:21:54.598
And that is where we all want to rest.
00:21:54.665 --> 00:21:57.368
To rest. can i have a good amen?
00:21:57.435 --> 00:21:58.869
Can i have a good amen? you are the righteousness of god
00:21:58.936 --> 00:22:00.171
You are the righteousness of god in christ.
00:22:00.237 --> 00:22:02.039
In christ. if anyone can move you away from
00:22:02.106 --> 00:22:03.507
If anyone can move you away from that by their teaching or their
00:22:03.574 --> 00:22:05.943
That by their teaching or their unbelief, let me just tell
00:22:06.010 --> 00:22:08.512
Unbelief, let me just tell you this.
00:22:08.579 --> 00:22:09.246
You this. if you imbibe that wrong
00:22:09.313 --> 00:22:10.147
If you imbibe that wrong teaching, no wonder there is
00:22:10.214 --> 00:22:12.183
Teaching, no wonder there is uncertainty in your heart.
00:22:12.249 --> 00:22:14.051
Uncertainty in your heart. no wonder there is shakiness,
00:22:14.118 --> 00:22:17.221
No wonder there is shakiness, and it can also affect all your
00:22:17.288 --> 00:22:22.259
And it can also affect all your ability to receive the blessings
00:22:22.326 --> 00:22:26.664
Ability to receive the blessings of god.
00:22:26.730 --> 00:22:27.465
Of god. whether they be healing, health.
00:22:27.531 --> 00:22:30.201
Whether they be healing, health. many a times, those who struggle
00:22:30.267 --> 00:22:32.903
Many a times, those who struggle to receive are those, deep down
00:22:32.970 --> 00:22:35.039
To receive are those, deep down they have a wrong belief, and
00:22:35.105 --> 00:22:37.308
It's so deeply entrenched that
00:22:37.374 --> 00:22:41.278
It's so deeply entrenched that sometimes it takes hours and
00:22:41.345 --> 00:22:44.181
Sometimes it takes hours and hours of listening to right
00:22:44.248 --> 00:22:46.584
Hours of listening to right teaching, gospel truths,
00:22:46.650 --> 00:22:50.421
Teaching, gospel truths, to set them free.
00:22:50.488 --> 00:22:52.690
I didn't ask you whether you
00:22:52.756 --> 00:22:54.658
I didn't ask you whether you know these truths.
00:22:54.725 --> 00:22:56.560
Know these truths. i'm asking you, what do you
00:22:56.627 --> 00:22:59.063
I'm asking you, what do you believe deep down?
00:22:59.129 --> 00:23:04.335
Believe deep down? do you really believe that you
00:23:04.401 --> 00:23:05.302
Do you really believe that you are the righteousness of god
00:23:05.369 --> 00:23:06.003
Are the righteousness of god in christ?
00:23:06.070 --> 00:23:07.771
In christ? do you really believe that you
00:23:07.838 --> 00:23:08.973
Do you really believe that you have firm foundation under your
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:11.075
Have firm foundation under your feet because of the gospel
00:23:11.141 --> 00:23:12.710
Feet because of the gospel of peace?
00:23:12.776 --> 00:23:14.144
Of peace? do you believe that you are the
00:23:14.211 --> 00:23:17.114
Do you believe that you are the righteousness of god, justified
00:23:17.181 --> 00:23:19.750
Righteousness of god, justified by faith, and that becomes
00:23:19.817 --> 00:23:21.652
By faith, and that becomes a shield that quenches all?
00:23:21.719 --> 00:23:26.156
A shield that quenches all? do you have the hope
00:23:26.223 --> 00:23:26.857
Do you have the hope of salvation?
00:23:26.924 --> 00:23:30.060
Of salvation? if not, today is the day that
00:23:30.127 --> 00:23:33.564
If not, today is the day that you renounce all your wrong
00:23:33.631 --> 00:23:35.366
You renounce all your wrong beliefs and start
00:23:35.432 --> 00:23:37.501
Beliefs and start believing right.
00:23:37.568 --> 00:23:39.803
Believing right. i don't care how many times you
00:23:39.870 --> 00:23:41.071
I don't care how many times you click on these pieces.

Click on these pieces. it won't work if you believe
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:43.507
It won't work if you believe the wrong thing.
00:23:43.574 --> 00:23:45.009
The wrong thing. stop believing that you are
00:23:45.075 --> 00:23:46.944
Stop believing that you are vulnerable to losing
00:23:47.011 --> 00:23:48.913
Vulnerable to losing your salvation.
00:23:48.979 --> 00:23:50.414
Your salvation. stop believing that you are
00:23:50.481 --> 00:23:52.016
Stop believing that you are unclean and dirty in the eyes
00:23:52.082 --> 00:23:53.551
Unclean and dirty in the eyes of god.
00:23:53.617 --> 00:23:55.486
Of god. stop believing that god is
00:23:55.553 --> 00:23:58.789
Stop believing that god is holding your sins against you.
00:23:58.856 --> 00:24:02.226
Holding your sins against you. stop believing wrong and start
00:24:02.293 --> 00:24:04.161
Stop believing wrong and start believing right.

Believing right. all your sins are forgiven
