The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - The Spirit-Filled Life | June 22, 2026
- You go to
- 00:00:01.980 --> 00:00:03.015
- A church and you hear more than anything else,
- 00:00:03.015 --> 00:00:05.484
- Holy spirit, holy spirit, holy spirit, holy spirit,
- 00:00:05.484 --> 00:00:09.755
- Holy spirit, holy spirit, you got another church.
- 00:00:09.755 --> 00:00:13.092
- All you hear is doctrine.
- 00:00:13.092 --> 00:00:15.060
- We need doctrine.
- 00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:16.195
- We need biblical truth.
- 00:00:16.195 --> 00:00:17.629
- We have to have doctrine.
- 00:00:17.629 --> 00:00:20.132
- Both of them are what sided
- 00:00:20.132 --> 00:00:22.968
- And not biblical.
- 00:00:22.968 --> 00:00:26.038
- You see, the holy spirit operates
- 00:00:26.038 --> 00:00:30.242
- Always on the basis of truth.
- 00:00:30.242 --> 00:00:33.245
- Get that?
- 00:00:33.545 --> 00:00:34.680
- Always on the basis of truth.
- 00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:36.548
- And truth is found in doctrine,
- 00:00:36.548 --> 00:00:40.119
- In biblical truth.
- 00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:59.404
- We're studying
- 00:00:59.738 --> 00:01:02.107
- Romans chapter eight.
- 00:01:02.107 --> 00:01:03.675
- Many people believe it is the goat of the bible,
- 00:01:03.675 --> 00:01:07.179
- The greatest of all time.
- 00:01:07.179 --> 00:01:08.947
- The greatest word of instruction to us. and
- 00:01:08.947 --> 00:01:12.818
- We've made our way all the way through the 17th verse.
- 00:01:12.818 --> 00:01:16.421
- But we're going back
- 00:01:16.421 --> 00:01:19.024
- And we're going through verse
- 00:01:19.024 --> 00:01:20.559
- 12 and 17 again,
- 00:01:20.559 --> 00:01:23.362
- Because there's so much depth in there.
- 00:01:23.362 --> 00:01:26.431
- Remember chapter eight, primary purpose is
- 00:01:26.431 --> 00:01:30.068
- To understand that those who are in christ,
- 00:01:30.068 --> 00:01:35.440
- Who are in christ, they in turn
- 00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:40.479
- Have the assurance, the assurance of heaven.
- 00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:45.217
- But you have to be in christ.
- 00:01:45.217 --> 00:01:49.154
- And chapter eight shows us how
- 00:01:49.154 --> 00:01:52.658
- If we're in the family of god, we're in christ.
- 00:01:52.658 --> 00:01:55.794
- The holy spirit gives us assurance.
- 00:01:55.794 --> 00:01:59.298
- A couple of verses up front.
- 00:01:59.298 --> 00:02:01.066
- Let's go back to eight.
- 00:02:01.066 --> 00:02:04.903
- Verse number six.
- 00:02:05.337 --> 00:02:08.974
- The mind
- 00:02:09.241 --> 00:02:11.476
- Governed by the flesh
- 00:02:11.476 --> 00:02:14.446
- Is death,
- 00:02:14.446 --> 00:02:16.081
- But the mind governed by the spirit
- 00:02:16.081 --> 00:02:20.419
- Is life.
- 00:02:20.686 --> 00:02:21.386
- Hold on to that.
- 00:02:21.386 --> 00:02:23.755
- All the battle that we've been talking about,
- 00:02:23.755 --> 00:02:26.458
- Between the spirit and the flesh,
- 00:02:26.458 --> 00:02:28.427
- The flesh and the spirit, the spirit and the flesh.
- 00:02:28.427 --> 00:02:31.396
- And here god tells us that
- 00:02:31.396 --> 00:02:34.633
- The mind set on the flesh
- 00:02:34.633 --> 00:02:38.370
- Is death.
- 00:02:38.670 --> 00:02:40.939
- There are many different kinds of death,
- 00:02:40.939 --> 00:02:43.442
- And the mind set on the spirit
- 00:02:43.442 --> 00:02:46.178
- Is life.
- 00:02:46.178 --> 00:02:49.481
- A lot of times when we live
- 00:02:49.481 --> 00:02:51.149
- On a strictly human level,
- 00:02:51.149 --> 00:02:54.486
- We don't see spiritual things.
- 00:02:54.486 --> 00:02:57.923
- And the spiritual things are the things that last forever.
- 00:02:57.923 --> 00:03:02.361
- Remember when this old body dies,
- 00:03:02.361 --> 00:03:05.163
- The soul and the spirit will remain,
- 00:03:05.163 --> 00:03:07.065
- And this body is thrown aside, and we'll get
- 00:03:07.065 --> 00:03:09.868
- A resurrection body
- 00:03:09.868 --> 00:03:11.303
- When we leave this life, a body that's equipped for heaven
- 00:03:11.303 --> 00:03:14.906
- That will be in the spiritual area, and a resurrection
- 00:03:14.906 --> 00:03:19.077
- Body will be a prototype we see in jesus.
- 00:03:19.077 --> 00:03:22.748
- So we're talking about spiritual insight,
- 00:03:22.748 --> 00:03:26.785
- And we come to christ.
- 00:03:26.785 --> 00:03:28.553
- We begin to understand that
- 00:03:28.553 --> 00:03:30.222
- And what gives us this spiritual quality.
- 00:03:30.222 --> 00:03:33.225
- It's the holy spirit,
- 00:03:33.225 --> 00:03:36.428
- The third person of the trinity,
- 00:03:37.129 --> 00:03:39.598
- God the father, god the son, god the holy spirit.
- 00:03:39.598 --> 00:03:43.168
- You say, i don't understand how you can have three.
- 00:03:43.168 --> 00:03:46.004
- Can you understand that h2o can be ice,
- 00:03:46.004 --> 00:03:50.475
- It can be liquid, it can be vapor.
- 00:03:50.475 --> 00:03:52.911
- So we understand there are three natures of god almighty.
- 00:03:52.911 --> 00:03:56.982
- And those natures perform certain duties,
- 00:03:56.982 --> 00:03:59.751
- Have certain functions and they overlap.
- 00:03:59.751 --> 00:04:03.288
- But we have to understand this spiritually.
- 00:04:03.288 --> 00:04:05.624
- So we go right back to the book of romans,
- 00:04:05.624 --> 00:04:09.695
- Chapter eight, verse number 12.
- 00:04:10.329 --> 00:04:13.265
- He's already talked about the battle
- 00:04:13.265 --> 00:04:15.400
- Between the flesh and the spirit,
- 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:16.968
- And the spirit and the flesh.
- 00:04:16.968 --> 00:04:18.236
- And paul tells us that the spirit has won.
- 00:04:18.236 --> 00:04:22.307
- And now he says, this is how we live the life.
- 00:04:22.307 --> 00:04:26.378
- Therefore, brothers
- 00:04:26.378 --> 00:04:27.713
- And sisters, christians, we have an obligation.
- 00:04:27.713 --> 00:04:31.817
- Your translation may say duty.
- 00:04:31.817 --> 00:04:34.353
- We have an obligation, and our obligation
- 00:04:34.353 --> 00:04:37.222
- Has a negative aspect to it and a positive aspect.
- 00:04:37.222 --> 00:04:42.327
- Other words, we become christians.
- 00:04:42.327 --> 00:04:45.030
- There's a negative part of the christian life, he said.
- 00:04:45.030 --> 00:04:47.766
- But it is not to the flesh to live according to the flesh.
- 00:04:47.766 --> 00:04:52.504
- The holy spirit has brought us this far,
- 00:04:52.504 --> 00:04:55.474
- And now we are in the in the flesh.
- 00:04:55.474 --> 00:04:59.077
- But yet there's a spiritual dimension to us,
- 00:04:59.077 --> 00:05:01.713
- And the holy spirit is involved in everything in your life
- 00:05:01.713 --> 00:05:05.484
- And in my life, first of all, in salvation,
- 00:05:05.484 --> 00:05:09.955
- We heard, are you full of the spirit?
- 00:05:09.955 --> 00:05:12.624
- Do you have the fullness of the spirit?
- 00:05:12.624 --> 00:05:14.526
- It's involved in salvation.
- 00:05:14.526 --> 00:05:16.561
- Acts chapter number nine.
- 00:05:16.561 --> 00:05:18.363
- Paul damascus road, confronted by christ, struck
- 00:05:18.363 --> 00:05:22.167
- Blind, went to damascus.
- 00:05:22.167 --> 00:05:24.302
- There he was blind, knowing that now the one he had
- 00:05:24.302 --> 00:05:28.273
- Persecuted is indeed the messiah, the son of god.
- 00:05:28.273 --> 00:05:32.110
- And then ananias comes over there and puts his hand
- 00:05:32.110 --> 00:05:35.547
- On paul's head, instructed by the holy spirit.
- 00:05:35.547 --> 00:05:38.717
- And paul could see
- 00:05:38.717 --> 00:05:40.419
- And it says he was filled with the holy spirit.
- 00:05:40.419 --> 00:05:45.190
- So in salvation, the holy spirit comes
- 00:05:45.190 --> 00:05:49.227
- And fills us with his spirit.
- 00:05:49.227 --> 00:05:52.330
- Now i became a christian.
- 00:05:52.898 --> 00:05:54.833
- I was about 11, but i didn't understand
- 00:05:54.833 --> 00:05:57.569
- All this, as some do not understand all this now.
- 00:05:57.569 --> 00:06:00.672
- But the holy spirit comes and enables us
- 00:06:00.672 --> 00:06:04.409
- To understand things we didn't understand before
- 00:06:04.409 --> 00:06:08.580
- Christmas.
- 00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:10.449
- Calvary, easter,
- 00:06:10.449 --> 00:06:13.351
- Resurrection, ascension,
- 00:06:13.351 --> 00:06:16.388
- Jesus at the right hand of god,
- 00:06:16.388 --> 00:06:19.191
- Interceding for those who are in his family.
- 00:06:19.191 --> 00:06:21.626
- So the holy spirit was a part of your salvation in mind.
- 00:06:21.626 --> 00:06:26.097
- Also, the holy spirit was a part of our sanctification.
- 00:06:26.097 --> 00:06:29.401
- Ephesians five paul says, be filled with the spirit.
- 00:06:29.401 --> 00:06:34.873
- How do you know you're filled with the spirit?
- 00:06:34.873 --> 00:06:37.609
- Singing, singing.
- 00:06:37.609 --> 00:06:40.078
- Thanksgiving.
- 00:06:40.078 --> 00:06:42.047
- And then he moves on and says, submission, submitting.
- 00:06:42.047 --> 00:06:45.951
- And it says, submit one to another.
- 00:06:45.951 --> 00:06:49.321
- These are marks that we are growing
- 00:06:49.321 --> 00:06:52.023
- In our word, sanctification.
- 00:06:52.023 --> 00:06:53.859
- Remember that. that means we're growing up.
- 00:06:53.859 --> 00:06:56.061
- We're maturing
- 00:06:56.061 --> 00:06:58.163
- Before the spirit, the spirit involved in our salvation.
- 00:06:58.163 --> 00:07:01.299
- It's involved in our growth in the lord jesus christ.
- 00:07:01.299 --> 00:07:04.603
- And then finally, it's involved in something else.
- 00:07:04.603 --> 00:07:08.073
- It's involved in our assurance.
- 00:07:08.073 --> 00:07:11.710
- And you read that in acts chapter four, man,
- 00:07:11.710 --> 00:07:14.946
- You know what happened at pentecost.
- 00:07:14.946 --> 00:07:16.681
- And then he moves from pentecost
- 00:07:16.681 --> 00:07:18.683
- And they're persecuted.
- 00:07:18.683 --> 00:07:19.784
- And people understood in their own language.
- 00:07:19.784 --> 00:07:22.020
- And 3000 came to
- 00:07:22.020 --> 00:07:23.688
- Christ and 5000 came to christ, and they came and jerked up.
- 00:07:23.688 --> 00:07:27.459
- Peter and paul put them before the sanhedrin,
- 00:07:27.459 --> 00:07:29.861
- And they were bold in what they did,
- 00:07:29.861 --> 00:07:33.064
- And they somehow let them go and said, don't tell anybody.
- 00:07:33.064 --> 00:07:36.768
- But they said, how can we not tell people
- 00:07:36.768 --> 00:07:39.838
- What we've experience and what we've heard?
- 00:07:39.838 --> 00:07:42.107
- And it says they were full of the holy spirit.
- 00:07:42.107 --> 00:07:45.076
- The holy spirit gives us assurance.
- 00:07:45.076 --> 00:07:48.346
- So in every aspect of life,
- 00:07:48.947 --> 00:07:50.582
- And if we had time, we can look biblically
- 00:07:50.582 --> 00:07:53.018
- And see that god the father, god the son, god
- 00:07:53.018 --> 00:07:55.487
- The holy spirit is involved in all three
- 00:07:55.487 --> 00:07:58.323
- Of these endeavors, our salvation and our assurance
- 00:07:58.323 --> 00:08:02.794
- That we are indeed in the family of almighty god.
- 00:08:02.794 --> 00:08:06.898
- So we see
- 00:08:06.898 --> 00:08:08.199
- We have to understand this and it comes out in a negative
- 00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:12.070
- Way, this obligation, we understand that.
- 00:08:12.070 --> 00:08:15.106
- And then it says, for if you live
- 00:08:15.106 --> 00:08:17.742
- According to the flesh, you will die.
- 00:08:17.742 --> 00:08:21.246
- Now there's a controversial verse in the bible,
- 00:08:21.246 --> 00:08:24.583
- You will die.
- 00:08:24.950 --> 00:08:26.051
- So here i am, i receive christ, i've been baptized,
- 00:08:26.051 --> 00:08:29.955
- I know him, i claim that i'm a christian.
- 00:08:29.955 --> 00:08:32.824
- I have the name.
- 00:08:32.824 --> 00:08:35.627
- But, you know, i'm
- 00:08:36.061 --> 00:08:37.862
- Sort of went back in the old flesh
- 00:08:37.862 --> 00:08:40.298
- And i've got the same old habits coming up again.
- 00:08:40.298 --> 00:08:43.802
- And i confess, and i repent and believe,
- 00:08:43.802 --> 00:08:47.072
- And suddenly i'm way away, away from the lord.
- 00:08:47.072 --> 00:08:51.309
- And when i came to christ,
- 00:08:51.309 --> 00:08:52.944
- I didn't know, i didn't understand.
- 00:08:52.944 --> 00:08:54.846
- What i really wanted was about $3 worth of god.
- 00:08:54.846 --> 00:08:58.783
- I didn't want any more than that.
- 00:08:58.783 --> 00:09:00.285
- About $3 of god.
- 00:09:00.285 --> 00:09:02.787
- And all of a sudden it says, if we profess christ
- 00:09:02.787 --> 00:09:07.058
- And we continue to live with besetting, ongoing sin,
- 00:09:07.058 --> 00:09:11.363
- This may be the
- 00:09:11.730 --> 00:09:14.232
- Unpardonable sin in a sense that god
- 00:09:14.232 --> 00:09:17.402
- Sometimes i think, take people who mouth profession
- 00:09:17.402 --> 00:09:22.140
- And are a million miles from living profession,
- 00:09:22.140 --> 00:09:25.243
- And they just take them out of this world.
- 00:09:25.243 --> 00:09:28.246
- They just take them out of this world.
- 00:09:28.246 --> 00:09:30.682
- Because when we're in god's family, christ is in you.
- 00:09:30.682 --> 00:09:34.352
- Christ is in me.
- 00:09:34.352 --> 00:09:35.620
- We don't have a blank check now.
- 00:09:35.620 --> 00:09:37.789
- We're in the family.
- 00:09:37.789 --> 00:09:38.757
- We want to live like a member of the family.
- 00:09:38.757 --> 00:09:41.559
- Dangerous verse.
- 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:43.228
- So there's a negative thing here.
- 00:09:43.228 --> 00:09:45.563
- And we have to understand that clearly.
- 00:09:45.563 --> 00:09:48.800
- Then there's a positive part of this obligation.
- 00:09:48.800 --> 00:09:51.970
- It goes that said for verse 13, for if you live
- 00:09:51.970 --> 00:09:54.906
- According to the flesh, you will die.
- 00:09:54.906 --> 00:09:56.441
- But if by the spirit you will put to death
- 00:09:56.441 --> 00:10:00.979
- The misdeeds, the sin in your body,
- 00:10:00.979 --> 00:10:04.082
- The holy spirit helps you, and i kill sin.
- 00:10:04.082 --> 00:10:08.153
- Now, if you hadn't figured it out
- 00:10:08.153 --> 00:10:09.788
- Yet, sin will kill you or we have to kill sin.
- 00:10:09.788 --> 00:10:13.625
- You got it.
- 00:10:13.625 --> 00:10:14.859
- Sin died on the cross with christ,
- 00:10:14.859 --> 00:10:16.861
- I know that, but yet, here's
- 00:10:16.861 --> 00:10:18.630
- The obligation for those of us who are now in the family.
- 00:10:18.630 --> 00:10:21.399
- We have to be in the business of killing sin
- 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:25.103
- Because we haven't reached perfection yet, have we?
- 00:10:25.103 --> 00:10:29.607
- We haven't gotten there yet.
- 00:10:30.208 --> 00:10:32.677
- You see, when sin comes in your life,
- 00:10:32.677 --> 00:10:35.947
- And in my life, it is like a tick.
- 00:10:35.947 --> 00:10:38.550
- And it sucks life out of you and sucks life that me
- 00:10:38.550 --> 00:10:42.287
- And we have to have.
- 00:10:42.287 --> 00:10:43.421
- Something sin dealt with effectively
- 00:10:43.421 --> 00:10:47.625
- Is sin dealt with radically.
- 00:10:47.625 --> 00:10:50.528
- What is sin?
- 00:10:50.528 --> 00:10:51.463
- Basically, it's my running, my own life.
- 00:10:51.463 --> 00:10:53.865
- You're running your own life,
- 00:10:53.865 --> 00:10:56.067
- You say, well, i don't know what my sin is.
- 00:10:56.067 --> 00:10:58.903
- Just spend about it won't take long.
- 00:10:58.903 --> 00:11:02.140
- 3 or 4 minutes before the lord and ask him,
- 00:11:02.140 --> 00:11:06.311
- Man, every time i do that,
- 00:11:06.878 --> 00:11:09.881
- The answer comes back like.
- 00:11:09.881 --> 00:11:13.485
- If you're in christ, if you're in christ.
- 00:11:14.352 --> 00:11:17.422
- So we have an obligation
- 00:11:17.422 --> 00:11:19.224
- Not to the flesh, but we have obligation to the spirit.
- 00:11:19.224 --> 00:11:22.927
- And then we move to the second stanza of this,
- 00:11:22.927 --> 00:11:26.264
- Reminding us once again, again
- 00:11:26.264 --> 00:11:28.199
- That we're in the family of god.
- 00:11:28.199 --> 00:11:30.969
- Verse 14, for those who are led by the spirit of god,
- 00:11:30.969 --> 00:11:34.706
- Our children of god, the spirit you receive
- 00:11:34.706 --> 00:11:38.510
- Does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again.
- 00:11:38.510 --> 00:11:42.914
- Rather, the spirit you receive brought about your adoption
- 00:11:42.914 --> 00:11:47.485
- To sonship, adoption to sonship.
- 00:11:47.485 --> 00:11:51.389
- Now we think of adoption in a high level.
- 00:11:51.389 --> 00:11:53.925
- But in the greco-roman world, adoption
- 00:11:53.925 --> 00:11:56.628
- Was in another level, more than we can think about it.
- 00:11:56.628 --> 00:11:59.998
- The father of the son or daughter
- 00:11:59.998 --> 00:12:01.699
- Would have to say to the one who wanted to die.
- 00:12:01.699 --> 00:12:03.568
- Here's the price. they would agree on it.
- 00:12:03.568 --> 00:12:05.703
- The deal would be closed,
- 00:12:05.703 --> 00:12:06.805
- And then they would go back on the deal.
- 00:12:06.805 --> 00:12:09.107
- Time would pass. they would agree on it.
- 00:12:09.107 --> 00:12:10.909
- It'd be closed.
- 00:12:10.909 --> 00:12:11.609
- They'd go back on the deal,
- 00:12:11.609 --> 00:12:13.511
- Time would pass, would be closed,
- 00:12:13.511 --> 00:12:15.180
- And the third time it would be dogmatic.
- 00:12:15.180 --> 00:12:18.049
- And now that adopted son or daughter would be a member
- 00:12:18.049 --> 00:12:22.520
- That family and have all the rights
- 00:12:22.520 --> 00:12:25.390
- And privileges of someone who was blood kin,
- 00:12:25.390 --> 00:12:29.160
- A son or daughter who was born in that family.
- 00:12:29.160 --> 00:12:31.830
- And if you were a legitimate son and daughter
- 00:12:31.830 --> 00:12:36.768
- By blood, born into the family in a natural way,
- 00:12:36.768 --> 00:12:40.438
- You could be disowned by the father.
- 00:12:40.438 --> 00:12:44.108
- But if you were adopted,
- 00:12:44.642 --> 00:12:47.278
- You could never be disowned by the father.
- 00:12:47.278 --> 00:12:50.782
- Marriage is one of god's greatest gifts.
- 00:12:51.616 --> 00:12:54.552
- You might say, next to the gift of our salvation, christ.
- 00:12:54.552 --> 00:12:58.590
- It's number one.
- 00:12:58.590 --> 00:12:59.858
- But let's be honest, it also brings real challenges.
- 00:12:59.858 --> 00:13:03.595
- Every couple of face disagreements, miscommunication
- 00:13:03.595 --> 00:13:08.900
- Or financial pressure, family tensions, and seasons
- 00:13:08.900 --> 00:13:12.237
- Of frustration in the whole area of marriage.
- 00:13:12.237 --> 00:13:15.173
- You know, saying that if you're married, left unchecked,
- 00:13:15.173 --> 00:13:19.410
- Those struggles can slowly erode into
- 00:13:19.410 --> 00:13:23.147
- Even a marriage that should be great.
- 00:13:23.147 --> 00:13:24.916
- Into a marriage, that's just okay.
- 00:13:24.916 --> 00:13:27.619
- But that does not have to be your story.
- 00:13:27.619 --> 00:13:31.589
- In the ten commandments of marriage,
- 00:13:31.589 --> 00:13:33.391
- I share biblical truth, practical wisdom,
- 00:13:33.391 --> 00:13:36.327
- And a little humor drawn from more than 50
- 00:13:36.327 --> 00:13:39.731
- Years of ministry and marriage experience.
- 00:13:39.731 --> 00:13:42.667
- These ten timeless principles are designed to help husbands
- 00:13:42.667 --> 00:13:46.871
- And wives protect what matters most and strengthen
- 00:13:46.871 --> 00:13:50.775
- That relationship, and build a marriage
- 00:13:50.775 --> 00:13:53.378
- Based on love and joy, and a lasting commitment
- 00:13:53.378 --> 00:13:56.948
- That's filled with laughter and pleasure and excitement.
- 00:13:56.948 --> 00:14:02.220
- Listen, god never intended marriage to be.
- 00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:05.990
- Let's just survive and hang on.
- 00:14:05.990 --> 00:14:08.526
- He attended it to sing and to thrive.
- 00:14:08.526 --> 00:14:12.463
- Listen, if you really want a healthier,
- 00:14:12.463 --> 00:14:15.500
- Christ centered marriage that still has warmth, passion,
- 00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:19.304
- And purpose, these ten commandments of marriage
- 00:14:19.304 --> 00:14:22.774
- Is just for you.
- 00:14:22.774 --> 00:14:24.575
- Call them on your screen or visit the website below
- 00:14:24.575 --> 00:14:27.278
- To regress your copy of the ten commandments of marriage.
- 00:14:27.278 --> 00:14:31.616
- Do it today.
- 00:14:31.616 --> 00:14:40.992
- Legitimate son
- 00:14:41.326 --> 00:14:42.794
- And daughter by blood, born into the family
- 00:14:42.794 --> 00:14:45.596
- In a natural way, you could be disowned by the father.
- 00:14:45.596 --> 00:14:50.802
- But if you were adopted,
- 00:14:51.336 --> 00:14:53.972
- You could never be disowned by the father.
- 00:14:53.972 --> 00:14:57.342
- You say, what about jesus?
- 00:14:57.342 --> 00:14:58.843
- He, god the father, god the son.
- 00:14:58.843 --> 00:15:01.412
- He was disowned by god.
- 00:15:01.412 --> 00:15:04.515
- Did you not know that?
- 00:15:04.515 --> 00:15:07.685
- Did you not remember that from the cross?
- 00:15:07.685 --> 00:15:11.356
- When all the trash, your trash and my trash
- 00:15:11.356 --> 00:15:15.393
- Were placed about him, god the father turned
- 00:15:15.393 --> 00:15:18.096
- His back on his son and disowned him.
- 00:15:18.096 --> 00:15:23.368
- Jesus says,
- 00:15:23.701 --> 00:15:24.902
- My god, my god, why hast thou forsaken me?
- 00:15:24.902 --> 00:15:28.072
- And remember, that's the only place in the bible
- 00:15:28.072 --> 00:15:30.842
- Where jesus offers to god is god.
- 00:15:30.842 --> 00:15:33.478
- Every other time he says, abba, father.
- 00:15:33.478 --> 00:15:36.414
- He was disowned for
- 00:15:36.881 --> 00:15:38.282
- That moment, but we know he took him back in.
- 00:15:38.282 --> 00:15:44.522
- Jesus said,
- 00:15:44.856 --> 00:15:46.391
- My god, abba, abba,
- 00:15:46.391 --> 00:15:48.860
- I come into you, my spirit.
- 00:15:48.860 --> 00:15:51.496
- So when you're adopted and we're adopted and
- 00:15:51.496 --> 00:15:54.132
- Look what happens to where adopted, it's amazing to me.
- 00:15:54.132 --> 00:15:57.235
- I just read it over and over again.
- 00:15:57.235 --> 00:15:59.437
- We cry.
- 00:15:59.437 --> 00:16:00.138
- I'm a father now.
- 00:16:00.138 --> 00:16:01.239
- We can say, abba, dad.
- 00:16:01.239 --> 00:16:03.775
- The spirit in self testifies to our spirit that we are
- 00:16:03.775 --> 00:16:08.046
- God's children.
- 00:16:08.046 --> 00:16:09.047
- How do you know that you're really in christ?
- 00:16:09.047 --> 00:16:10.715
- How do you know you're really a son or daughter of god?
- 00:16:10.715 --> 00:16:14.218
- It's because the holy spirit affirms
- 00:16:14.218 --> 00:16:17.955
- That in my spirit and my spirit firms it
- 00:16:17.955 --> 00:16:22.060
- With the holy spirit,
- 00:16:22.060 --> 00:16:23.061
- And that should be for all who are in christ.
- 00:16:23.061 --> 00:16:26.297
- It's an affirmation,
- 00:16:26.764 --> 00:16:28.833
- And we have to understand the function of the spirit.
- 00:16:28.833 --> 00:16:31.602
- Remember, we've talked about it.
- 00:16:31.602 --> 00:16:33.037
- The holy spirit has a
- 00:16:33.037 --> 00:16:35.239
- Floodlight ministry, the holy spirit.
- 00:16:36.040 --> 00:16:39.444
- If jesus is in front of me and i am here, the holy spirit,
- 00:16:39.444 --> 00:16:43.614
- I don't look to the holy spirit.
- 00:16:43.614 --> 00:16:45.416
- The holy spirit turns light on jesus and the holy spirit.
- 00:16:45.416 --> 00:16:49.053
- Primary purpose is to honor jesus this.
- 00:16:49.053 --> 00:16:51.956
- Remember we said, let me remind you,
- 00:16:51.956 --> 00:16:53.758
- You know, say, do you know jesus?
- 00:16:53.758 --> 00:16:56.194
- Certainly, if you're in christ,
- 00:16:56.194 --> 00:16:58.062
- We've already dealt with that.
- 00:16:58.062 --> 00:17:00.264
- But do you have the holy spirit?
- 00:17:00.264 --> 00:17:01.632
- Certainly we have the holy spirit.
- 00:17:01.632 --> 00:17:03.501
- It is in your life, in my life from the beginning.
- 00:17:03.501 --> 00:17:05.870
- And now we grow becomes more and more powerful.
- 00:17:05.870 --> 00:17:08.539
- It is that search like ministry.
- 00:17:08.539 --> 00:17:11.342
- A word of warning.
- 00:17:11.342 --> 00:17:13.111
- You go to a church and you hear more than anything
- 00:17:13.111 --> 00:17:15.980
- Else, holy spirit, holy spirit, holy spirit, holy spirit,
- 00:17:15.980 --> 00:17:20.885
- Holy spirit, holy spirit, you got another church.
- 00:17:20.885 --> 00:17:24.222
- All you hear is doctrine.
- 00:17:24.222 --> 00:17:26.190
- We need doctrine.
- 00:17:26.190 --> 00:17:27.325
- We need biblical truth.
- 00:17:27.325 --> 00:17:28.759
- We have to have doctrine.
- 00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:31.262
- Both of them are what sided and not biblical.
- 00:17:31.262 --> 00:17:36.434
- You see, the holy spirit operates
- 00:17:37.168 --> 00:17:41.372
- Always on the basis of truth.
- 00:17:41.372 --> 00:17:44.375
- Get that?
- 00:17:44.675 --> 00:17:45.810
- Always on the basis of truth.
- 00:17:45.810 --> 00:17:47.678
- And truth is found in doctrine,
- 00:17:47.678 --> 00:17:51.249
- In biblical truth, and therefore biblical truth
- 00:17:51.249 --> 00:17:55.887
- Is necessary for the holy spirit to operate
- 00:17:55.887 --> 00:17:59.190
- Because the holy spirit operates on the basis of truth.
- 00:17:59.190 --> 00:18:01.792
- How do you know this?
- 00:18:01.792 --> 00:18:02.860
- Those who wrote this scripture
- 00:18:02.860 --> 00:18:04.529
- Were inspired by the holy spirit,
- 00:18:04.529 --> 00:18:07.198
- And they wrote this word of god.
- 00:18:07.198 --> 00:18:09.534
- And therefore we have to know and properly interpret
- 00:18:09.534 --> 00:18:13.204
- The word.
- 00:18:13.204 --> 00:18:14.405
- And then the holy spirit can work in and through your life.
- 00:18:14.405 --> 00:18:18.342
- Now look at the rest of it.
- 00:18:18.342 --> 00:18:21.012
- And by him we cry, abba, father!
- 00:18:21.012 --> 00:18:24.815
- The spirit himself testifies with our spirit.
- 00:18:24.815 --> 00:18:27.685
- We're god's children now.
- 00:18:27.685 --> 00:18:29.353
- If we are, then we are heirs and heirs
- 00:18:29.353 --> 00:18:32.623
- Of god and co-heirs with christ.
- 00:18:32.623 --> 00:18:35.426
- Man, what a wonderful thing that is.
- 00:18:35.426 --> 00:18:38.129
- In other words, we take the truth of the bible
- 00:18:38.129 --> 00:18:40.898
- In our life.
- 00:18:40.898 --> 00:18:42.066
- The holy spirit helps us interpret it, and then we
- 00:18:42.066 --> 00:18:45.203
- Not only have to know it and interpret it.
- 00:18:45.203 --> 00:18:47.905
- The challenge we have is to live it out.
- 00:18:47.905 --> 00:18:51.409
- You see, the bible gives us information,
- 00:18:52.243 --> 00:18:55.046
- And then we have to take and let the holy spirit
- 00:18:55.046 --> 00:18:57.481
- Take that information and plant it in our heart.
- 00:18:57.481 --> 00:19:00.818
- It has to be mental and emotional with application.
- 00:19:00.818 --> 00:19:04.755
- That's how we as christians are to live,
- 00:19:05.590 --> 00:19:07.959
- Ladies and gentlemen.
- 00:19:07.959 --> 00:19:09.060
- And then the end of this is absolutely magnificent.
- 00:19:09.060 --> 00:19:12.296
- And we're just going to touch on the operative word here.
- 00:19:12.296 --> 00:19:16.167
- It says we're heirs and co heirs with christ.
- 00:19:16.167 --> 00:19:19.704
- If indeed we share in his sufferings
- 00:19:19.704 --> 00:19:23.074
- In order that we may also share in
- 00:19:23.074 --> 00:19:26.844
- His glory,

- Glory, glory,
- 00:19:30.581 --> 00:19:32.883
- We're going to meet glory in other places.
- 00:19:32.883 --> 00:19:35.820
- He's saying here that now when the family of god
- 00:19:35.820 --> 00:19:39.190
- Now we know what
- 00:19:39.190 --> 00:19:40.124
- Our obligation not to do
- 00:19:40.124 --> 00:19:41.459
- Is now in order to obligation that we are to do
- 00:19:41.459 --> 00:19:44.595
- Now we know the inheritance that is ours.
- 00:19:44.595 --> 00:19:47.465
- Now we know how to distinguish.
- 00:19:47.465 --> 00:19:49.200
- The holy spirit gives us light in a darkened world.
- 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:52.403
- And now, he says,
- 00:19:52.403 --> 00:19:53.638
- We are to share in the sufferings of christ.
- 00:19:53.638 --> 00:19:57.408
- We're to share in suffering.
- 00:19:57.408 --> 00:19:59.310
- So we experience more and more of his glory.
- 00:19:59.310 --> 00:20:03.214
- I don't know about you.
- 00:20:03.714 --> 00:20:04.915
- I'm sorry he brought up suffering, aren't you?
- 00:20:04.915 --> 00:20:07.551
- I mean, you know
- 00:20:07.551 --> 00:20:09.487
- That anybody here think
- 00:20:09.487 --> 00:20:12.189
- That you and i, in our era of influence,
- 00:20:12.189 --> 00:20:14.759
- Can make a difference in this broken world and culture
- 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.895
- And many of our families, without suffering,
- 00:20:17.895 --> 00:20:21.198
- We think that god can use us.
- 00:20:21.832 --> 00:20:24.268
- It'll be slick and smooth and everybody.
- 00:20:24.268 --> 00:20:26.203
- Oh, that's the truth.
- 00:20:26.203 --> 00:20:27.738
- I'll change.
- 00:20:27.738 --> 00:20:28.806
- It takes suffering from addiction.
- 00:20:28.806 --> 00:20:33.878
- And i have a feeling that the body of christ,
- 00:20:33.878 --> 00:20:36.514
- Those who hang in there, they may not be, but 2 or 3,
- 00:20:36.514 --> 00:20:40.618
- They may or may not be, but 2 or 3000,
- 00:20:40.618 --> 00:20:42.953
- But those that hang in there and stand for god in christ in
- 00:20:42.953 --> 00:20:46.624
- This book
- 00:20:46.624 --> 00:20:47.525
- Are going to know something
- 00:20:47.525 --> 00:20:48.626
- About suffering in the 21st century.
- 00:20:48.626 --> 00:20:51.429
- We never know that much in america.
- 00:20:51.429 --> 00:20:54.498
- Hang on, it will be coming
- 00:20:54.498 --> 00:20:58.002
- If there's even a second chance
- 00:20:58.002 --> 00:21:00.705
- For our united states.
- 00:21:00.705 --> 00:21:03.240
- And the result of that
- 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:05.676
- Is absolutely fabulous.
- 00:21:05.676 --> 00:21:08.646
- It says we may also share
- 00:21:08.646 --> 00:21:12.316
- In his glory here a lot about glory.
- 00:21:12.316 --> 00:21:15.886
- Oh, give glory to god.
- 00:21:15.886 --> 00:21:17.621
- You know how you basically give glory?
- 00:21:17.621 --> 00:21:19.357
- You have.
- 00:21:19.357 --> 00:21:19.990
- The word glory means doxa.
- 00:21:19.990 --> 00:21:22.360
- It means weight.
- 00:21:22.360 --> 00:21:24.195
- It means heavy.
- 00:21:24.195 --> 00:21:26.630
- You and i glorify god when jesus christ in your life
- 00:21:26.630 --> 00:21:31.836
- And my life, empowered by the holy spirit, makes jesus
- 00:21:31.836 --> 00:21:36.006
- Heavy to you, makes jesus weighty to me.
- 00:21:36.006 --> 00:21:40.711
- And jesus has great significance in our life.
- 00:21:40.711 --> 00:21:44.181
- That's what it means.
- 00:21:44.181 --> 00:21:45.416
- Do we give glory when jesus?
- 00:21:45.416 --> 00:21:47.518
- Can't we don't keep jesus on the outskirts of the city.
- 00:21:47.518 --> 00:21:50.488
- We put him right in the middle of the town,
- 00:21:50.488 --> 00:21:52.323
- And we take the holy spirit and use the holy spirit
- 00:21:52.323 --> 00:21:55.226
- As a grid for everything you do and everything i do.
- 00:21:55.226 --> 00:21:58.796
- Well in the business world, no,
- 00:21:58.796 --> 00:22:01.298
- Especially the business world,
- 00:22:01.298 --> 00:22:03.801
- Especially the family world, especially in relationships.
- 00:22:03.801 --> 00:22:08.105
- We run everything by through the grid of the holy spirit.
- 00:22:08.105 --> 00:22:12.076
- You will discover in
- 00:22:12.076 --> 00:22:13.377
- A practical way the difference between knowledge.
- 00:22:13.377 --> 00:22:16.714
- Oh, i know that.
- 00:22:17.114 --> 00:22:18.149
- I understand that i've studied that and wisdom.
- 00:22:18.149 --> 00:22:22.353
- The holy spirit takes knowledge that we have
- 00:22:22.353 --> 00:22:25.022
- And tax on it wisdom.
- 00:22:25.022 --> 00:22:27.925
- And that's a different dimension.
- 00:22:27.925 --> 00:22:30.060
- Now we move into the spiritual area of living
- 00:22:30.060 --> 00:22:33.564
- That he's not on the outskirts.
- 00:22:34.198 --> 00:22:35.966
- He's right downtown, this holy spirit,
- 00:22:35.966 --> 00:22:38.235
- This holy spirit is the middle of your life.
- 00:22:38.235 --> 00:22:40.237
- In my life of decision, the action of fun
- 00:22:40.237 --> 00:22:43.340
- And life and everything that comes out.
- 00:22:43.340 --> 00:22:46.177
- You see,
- 00:22:46.177 --> 00:22:47.144
- We not only have knowledge and figures out,
- 00:22:47.144 --> 00:22:48.546
- All of a sudden, we've got
- 00:22:48.546 --> 00:22:49.680
- Absolutely the mind of god in jesus christ.
- 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:52.716
- We have wisdom.
- 00:22:52.716 --> 00:22:53.717
- See this briefly here.
- 00:22:53.717 --> 00:22:54.919
- It's fabulous in the book of second corinthians,
- 00:22:54.919 --> 00:22:58.923
- One of my my favorite favorite passages, verse number 16.
- 00:22:58.923 --> 00:23:03.661
- But whenever anyone turns to the lord,
- 00:23:03.661 --> 00:23:07.431
- The veil is taken away.
- 00:23:07.431 --> 00:23:10.100
- Now the lord is the is the spirit.
- 00:23:10.100 --> 00:23:12.703
- And where the spirit is the lord, there is freedom.
- 00:23:12.703 --> 00:23:15.673
- And we all who with unveiled faces
- 00:23:15.673 --> 00:23:19.977
- Remember moses in the presence of god,
- 00:23:19.977 --> 00:23:23.247
- Had the reflection of god on him, and his face shone.
- 00:23:23.247 --> 00:23:27.318
- And every time he'd go before the people, they said,
- 00:23:27.318 --> 00:23:30.287
- That's moses.
- 00:23:30.287 --> 00:23:31.322
- His face is showing he was with god.
- 00:23:31.322 --> 00:23:33.657
- And then finally the the, the shekinah melted
- 00:23:33.657 --> 00:23:38.829
- And his the, his face no longer shown.
- 00:23:38.829 --> 00:23:41.398
- So moses were ovale.
- 00:23:41.398 --> 00:23:43.567
- So all the people would think,
- 00:23:43.567 --> 00:23:44.802
- Man, i'm still got my face shining.
- 00:23:44.802 --> 00:23:46.704
- I was with god, but he was gone.
- 00:23:46.704 --> 00:23:48.873
- And now paul says, when we come to jesus christ.
- 00:23:48.873 --> 00:23:52.176
- Look what happens.
- 00:23:52.176 --> 00:23:53.477
- There is freedom and we all come and our faith,
- 00:23:53.477 --> 00:23:56.981
- Our faces are unveiled.
- 00:23:56.981 --> 00:23:59.683
- We contemplate the lord's glory.
- 00:23:59.683 --> 00:24:02.486
- What is glory?
- 00:24:02.486 --> 00:24:03.554
- The weight,
- 00:24:03.554 --> 00:24:04.655
- The influence of christ in your life and in my life
- 00:24:04.655 --> 00:24:08.592
- With ever increasing glory
- 00:24:09.159 --> 00:24:11.795
- Which comes from the lord, who is the spirit.
- 00:24:11.795 --> 00:24:15.065
- That is a fabulous.
- 00:24:15.065 --> 00:24:17.268
- We could spend ten years on that one passage.
- 00:24:17.268 --> 00:24:20.037
- Do you see it?
- 00:24:20.037 --> 00:24:21.071
- In other words, moses had the reflection of god.
- 00:24:21.071 --> 00:24:26.277
- We who are in the family of god, see,
- 00:24:26.277 --> 00:24:29.079
- We've got so much more than we ever
- 00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:30.981
- Calculate, understand, believe a claim.
- 00:24:30.981 --> 00:24:33.517
- That's what we got to pick up.
- 00:24:33.517 --> 00:24:34.818
- We're in the family of god.
- 00:24:34.818 --> 00:24:36.153
- We don't have reflected glory because christ is in us,
- 00:24:36.153 --> 00:24:40.124
- The christ in you.
- 00:24:40.124 --> 00:24:41.225
- We have a radiant glory that comes out of us,
- 00:24:41.225 --> 00:24:44.528
- And that is that unveiled faith.
- 00:24:44.528 --> 00:24:46.764
- And the more we walk and grow with christ,
- 00:24:46.764 --> 00:24:49.233
- The bright it becomes.
- 00:24:49.233 --> 00:24:51.902
- There's a beam from lives.
- 00:24:51.902 --> 00:24:54.338
- You see somebody
- 00:24:54.338 --> 00:24:55.639
- Sold out to god in christ.
- 00:24:55.639 --> 00:24:57.508
- When you're with them,
- 00:24:57.508 --> 00:24:58.709
- They don't have to advertise anything.
- 00:24:58.709 --> 00:25:00.711
- It just overflows with the glory
- 00:25:00.711 --> 00:25:03.881
- Because they've given jesus christ,
- 00:25:03.881 --> 00:25:06.584
- The sinner, and the heaviness of their life
- 00:25:06.584 --> 00:25:08.953
- And the significance of their life.
- 00:25:08.953 --> 00:25:11.922
- Deep water,
- 00:25:12.256 --> 00:25:14.825
- Water to swim in,
- 00:25:14.825 --> 00:25:17.628
- Going deeper with god.
- 00:25:17.628 --> 00:25:19.964
- And this is just the introduction to the glory
- 00:25:19.964 --> 00:25:23.233
- That's going to follow.
- 00:25:23.233 --> 00:25:26.103
- Thanks be to god.
- 00:25:26.537 --> 00:25:29.540
- Thanks be unto god.
- 00:25:29.540 --> 00:25:32.576
- Available to everybody.
- 00:25:33.077 --> 00:25:36.714
- The spiritual dimension of life
- 00:25:37.348 --> 00:25:40.584
- Takes a physical dimension, and it catches fire
- 00:25:40.584 --> 00:25:45.055
- As we give him center place.
- 00:25:45.055 --> 00:25:48.626
- Significance
- 00:25:48.959 --> 00:25:51.462
- Slowly.
- 00:25:51.462 --> 00:25:52.429
- Sure has been slow with me.
- 00:25:52.429 --> 00:25:54.665
- Slowly, slowly through the process,
- 00:25:54.665 --> 00:25:58.135
- We begin to give forth light
- 00:25:58.736 --> 00:26:02.673
- And the glory
- 00:26:03.040 --> 00:26:05.976
- Of almighty god.
- 00:26:06.377 --> 00:26:09.179
- Marriages today face more pressures than ever.
- 00:26:10.147 --> 00:26:13.283

- With stress, disappointment, distance and discouragement,
- 00:26:14.752 --> 00:26:18.589
- Wondering if the joy they want shared can ever return.
- 00:26:18.589 --> 00:26:22.526
- But god's design for marriage has not changed.
