00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,900
Welcome to From the Pulpit and Classic Sermons.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,960
Each week we bring you a different message

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,900
from some of history's greatest speakers in the

4
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:09,540
Christian faith, and powerful sermons from modern preachers

5
00:00:09,540 --> 00:00:09,800
too.

6
00:00:10,260 --> 00:00:12,280
This week we have Milton Green with part

7
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,640
two of his message, The Flesh and the

8
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:15,219
Power of Darkness.

9
00:00:18,090 --> 00:00:20,130
For I on my part, though absent in

10
00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:21,570
the body but present in the spirit, have

11
00:00:21,570 --> 00:00:24,050
already judged him who has so committed this

12
00:00:24,050 --> 00:00:25,050
as though I were present.

13
00:00:25,530 --> 00:00:26,830
In the name of the Lord Jesus, when

14
00:00:26,830 --> 00:00:28,230
you are assembled and I with you in

15
00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:29,870
spirit with the power of the Lord Jesus,

16
00:00:30,110 --> 00:00:32,110
I have decided to deliver such a one

17
00:00:32,110 --> 00:00:35,310
to Satan, for the destruction of his flesh,

18
00:00:35,370 --> 00:00:37,390
that his spirit may be saved in the

19
00:00:37,390 --> 00:00:38,430
day of the Lord Jesus.

20
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,200
Now, God said, get him out of there,

21
00:00:46,220 --> 00:00:46,540
didn't he?

22
00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:51,320
This man's continuing something without any repentance and

23
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:51,620
everything.

24
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,080
What does he know about the Lord?

25
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,600
But something up here says, just love him

26
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,180
into it.

27
00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:01,820
Just love him.

28
00:01:02,860 --> 00:01:04,060
What kind of love is that?

29
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,660
Love is not love until you say what

30
00:01:06,660 --> 00:01:07,240
God says.

31
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,020
See, when you love him into something, you

32
00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:11,160
have him up there singing a special.

33
00:01:15,130 --> 00:01:16,230
That's not a good example.

34
00:01:16,330 --> 00:01:16,870
It's not God.

35
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:27,770
I'm telling you what, when you deliver this

36
00:01:27,770 --> 00:01:33,460
man over to Satan, he'll get his head

37
00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:36,580
whipped on to where he'll repent and get

38
00:01:36,580 --> 00:01:36,940
saved.

39
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,000
Oh, he's already saved?

40
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:42,820
Well, let's look at verse 9.

41
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,320
I wrote you in my letter not to

42
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:47,700
associate with immoral people.

43
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,360
I did not at all means with the

44
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,740
immoral people of this world or with the

45
00:01:51,740 --> 00:01:53,740
covetous or swindlers with dollars, for then you'd

46
00:01:53,740 --> 00:01:54,540
have to go out of the world.

47
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:58,100
But actually, I wrote you not to associate

48
00:01:58,100 --> 00:01:59,880
with any what kind of brother?

49
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,080
So-called brother, if he should be an

50
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:03,820
immoral person.

51
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:04,480
Is that plain?

52
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,900
Now, we live in a time of compromise

53
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:09,440
and everything saved that walks in front of

54
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:09,979
a church house.

55
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,860
He's a so-called brother.

56
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:15,160
And I'll show you more about that.

57
00:02:16,180 --> 00:02:18,300
If he should be immoral person or covetous

58
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:22,420
or idolater or reviler or drunkard or swindler,

59
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,000
not even to eat, don't even eat a

60
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,060
meal with such a one as him.

61
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,960
He's refusing to repent.

62
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:37,780
And the church I was in, when I

63
00:02:37,780 --> 00:02:39,220
came to that church, there was a man

64
00:02:39,220 --> 00:02:41,540
who was in the office right there, a

65
00:02:41,540 --> 00:02:44,660
responsibility, who was in adultery.

66
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:49,100
And after I came to know a few

67
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:51,320
things, I asked the pastor, one day, what

68
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,120
about that?

69
00:02:52,220 --> 00:02:53,480
You know, people see him and he helped

70
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,400
had that same position.

71
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:58,930
And he said, we just need to love

72
00:02:58,930 --> 00:02:59,070
him.

73
00:02:59,650 --> 00:03:00,650
And he kept his position.

74
00:03:00,790 --> 00:03:02,150
And when I left there, seven years later,

75
00:03:02,190 --> 00:03:04,710
he still had that very high position in

76
00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:06,630
the church and still being counseled for immorality.

77
00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:14,970
Now, I went back home here lately, and

78
00:03:18,650 --> 00:03:19,730
that man's not in church.

79
00:03:19,890 --> 00:03:20,910
He's married the other woman.

80
00:03:22,050 --> 00:03:24,010
I cannot believe a curse of immorality is

81
00:03:24,010 --> 00:03:24,550
on the church.

82
00:03:34,050 --> 00:03:41,830
Now, in 1 Corinthians 6, look with me

83
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:42,830
in verse 9, please.

84
00:03:44,590 --> 00:03:46,630
Or do you not know that the unrighteous

85
00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:48,450
shall not inherit the kingdom of God?

86
00:03:48,650 --> 00:03:49,910
Do not be what?

87
00:03:51,230 --> 00:03:53,070
Oh, when God says, do not be deceived,

88
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:54,990
does it mean that you might be deceived

89
00:03:54,990 --> 00:03:55,490
about this?

90
00:03:56,290 --> 00:03:57,590
Is there something you might be deceived?

91
00:03:57,990 --> 00:03:59,390
Do not be deceived.

92
00:03:59,390 --> 00:04:03,270
Neither fornicators, is that immoral?

93
00:04:04,490 --> 00:04:04,750
Huh?

94
00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:06,110
Okay.

95
00:04:06,830 --> 00:04:13,150
Neither fornicators or idolaters, nor adulterers, is that

96
00:04:13,150 --> 00:04:14,190
immorality, folks?

97
00:04:15,089 --> 00:04:15,490
All right.

98
00:04:16,290 --> 00:04:24,110
Nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, homosexual, little immoral, nor

99
00:04:24,110 --> 00:04:27,850
thieves, nor the covetous, nor the drunkards, nor

100
00:04:27,850 --> 00:04:29,910
ravelers, nor swindlers shall inherit the kingdom of

101
00:04:29,910 --> 00:04:30,110
God.

102
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:30,650
Is that plain?

103
00:04:32,410 --> 00:04:34,690
Now, that settled a homosexual question, didn't it?

104
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:38,190
And adulterers, it's all the same.

105
00:04:40,090 --> 00:04:41,590
That's got that plain, didn't it?

106
00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:42,330
Did you hear it?

107
00:04:43,910 --> 00:04:48,070
They don't make it unless they quit being

108
00:04:48,070 --> 00:04:57,140
a homosexual, unless they quit being, choose against

109
00:04:57,140 --> 00:04:58,480
being an adulterer or fornicator.

110
00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:00,300
It's all, I mean, whatever, you know.

111
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,460
I've seen, I know some precious, precious people

112
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,340
who have been set free from that sin

113
00:05:10,340 --> 00:05:11,320
of homosexuality.

114
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,620
Oh, let me, folks, I want you to,

115
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:14,740
I want to share a burden with you.

116
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,260
Let me, let me just kind of, let

117
00:05:16,260 --> 00:05:17,440
me just kind of put something on you.

118
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,840
I was in a fullness conference.

119
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:22,340
When I had been in a church in

120
00:05:22,340 --> 00:05:25,960
North Little Rock, Indian Hills Baptist Church, and

121
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,180
the Lord would just give tremendous freedom, and

122
00:05:29,180 --> 00:05:30,560
the pastor was at this Lord had done

123
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,940
his church, this pastor was began relating to

124
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:38,240
the people, how the people had been being

125
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,880
set free from the powers that are, and

126
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,060
what a difference, you know, it was making.

127
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,040
And there were a lot of pastors there.

128
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,740
And one of these pastors, right after that

129
00:05:47,740 --> 00:05:51,140
meeting, I came up to Brother King and

130
00:05:51,140 --> 00:05:55,520
he asked him to, he just needs some

131
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:56,580
help, he needs some deliverance.

132
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,260
And my brother asked him, he said, would

133
00:06:00,260 --> 00:06:01,760
you mind if I get one of these

134
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,520
other pastors just to kind of go, and

135
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,940
we'll go back in the office and we'll

136
00:06:04,940 --> 00:06:07,020
just, we'll just deal with that bond, we'll

137
00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:08,440
tear strongholds down.

138
00:06:09,060 --> 00:06:10,480
And he said, well, it'd be fine, it'd

139
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,000
be all right.

140
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,100
And so he got another pastor there that

141
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:13,740
he didn't even know.

142
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:14,680
He said, would you come and just let

143
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,540
me pray for this brother?

144
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,960
And they walked into an office there and

145
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,140
they, and they were in the office and

146
00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:21,150
they got in there.

147
00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:25,450
And this pastor began crying.

148
00:06:28,930 --> 00:06:31,110
And he's telling about his compulsion ever since

149
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:33,110
he'd been a little child toward homosexuality.

150
00:06:36,650 --> 00:06:38,310
Can you have some kind of idea of

151
00:06:38,310 --> 00:06:39,670
what kind of torment that is for you?

152
00:06:39,730 --> 00:06:41,510
And you have a compulsion, you're not taught

153
00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:42,130
to deal with it.

154
00:06:42,190 --> 00:06:43,530
Now, you see, folks, where I'm coming from

155
00:06:43,530 --> 00:06:43,950
right here.

156
00:06:45,050 --> 00:06:47,190
See, while people are being offended, you know,

157
00:06:47,230 --> 00:06:48,530
talking about the powers that are, if something

158
00:06:48,530 --> 00:06:49,830
comes up that don't fit in the box,

159
00:06:50,050 --> 00:06:51,630
there are people like this walking all around,

160
00:06:51,730 --> 00:06:52,270
you know, at least.

161
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,800
And he began crying.

162
00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:03,990
And so what the brother did, the man's

163
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:04,490
repentant.

164
00:07:05,210 --> 00:07:06,110
Of course, he's crying.

165
00:07:06,110 --> 00:07:08,110
I just cast that demon out.

166
00:07:08,370 --> 00:07:09,070
Man knew he's free.

167
00:07:11,890 --> 00:07:12,530
And that's good.

168
00:07:14,210 --> 00:07:16,030
That's good not to have a homosexual demon

169
00:07:16,030 --> 00:07:16,370
in you.

170
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,420
And then the man left.

171
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,040
He came through the office and then Brother

172
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,160
King, he came to the door there and

173
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,280
said, Bill, will you come in here a

174
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:25,380
minute?

175
00:07:28,820 --> 00:07:30,180
And I walked in the office and there

176
00:07:30,180 --> 00:07:31,520
the other pastor sat there and he was

177
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:31,840
crying.

178
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:38,040
When the first pastor walked out, after he

179
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,680
got set free, the other one began crying.

180
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:41,680
He said, I've got the same problem.

181
00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:45,450
And I cast the demon out of him.

182
00:07:47,730 --> 00:07:49,710
It's an amazing thing just sitting in here

183
00:07:49,710 --> 00:07:50,150
right now.

184
00:07:50,250 --> 00:07:51,470
People that love you, you know, you're not

185
00:07:51,470 --> 00:07:53,310
going to come and sit for three days

186
00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:58,630
in a word unless you're a critic and

187
00:07:58,630 --> 00:08:00,430
want to write a book, or unless you

188
00:08:00,430 --> 00:08:01,170
really love the Lord.

189
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,180
You just don't want to do it.

190
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,220
And many of you right out there sitting

191
00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:12,060
out here right now, bless your hearts.

192
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:12,580
I love you.

193
00:08:13,780 --> 00:08:14,560
I want to tell you, you can be

194
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,300
free from that thing.

195
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,860
Such a simple thing.

196
00:08:19,780 --> 00:08:20,220
Be free.

197
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,560
Sir, you can be free from that.

198
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:24,420
Adultery.

199
00:08:25,540 --> 00:08:28,060
And that compulsion, pornography.

200
00:08:31,039 --> 00:08:32,539
You can be free from all that temper

201
00:08:32,539 --> 00:08:34,320
and anger and the lust.

202
00:08:36,309 --> 00:08:37,409
Folks, let me just tell you something.

203
00:08:39,270 --> 00:08:40,390
You can be free from all of it.

204
00:08:40,850 --> 00:08:41,610
What do you think about that?

205
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,420
All these things that's coming against your mind,

206
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:46,900
your will.

207
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,420
All these things, these compulsions.

208
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,060
You know, you've seen these, some of these

209
00:08:52,060 --> 00:08:53,960
things in your family, on your ancestors, on

210
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:54,960
your mother, on your father.

211
00:08:55,020 --> 00:08:55,780
And you don't come down.

212
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,540
And it's just, you know, in my family.

213
00:08:59,380 --> 00:09:01,760
On my father's side, my father's mother, you

214
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,140
know, they call it the Lillards.

215
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,220
And the Lillards was all so proud of

216
00:09:06,220 --> 00:09:06,680
their temper.

217
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,600
You know, we always brag about our Lillard

218
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:08,860
temper.

219
00:09:08,980 --> 00:09:10,980
We could just throw the awfulest temper fit.

220
00:09:13,610 --> 00:09:14,290
It's a curse.

221
00:09:19,540 --> 00:09:21,120
And along with that was a curse of

222
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:21,600
alcohol.

223
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:23,100
The compulsion.

224
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,120
I'm going to tell you something.

225
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,560
Oh, you say the sins can't be visited

226
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:28,340
on the children.

227
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,520
It goes, those things happen.

228
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:31,500
Well, you know, that's what I used to

229
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:31,760
think.

230
00:09:37,940 --> 00:09:39,860
Adam's sins got visited on you, didn't they?

231
00:09:44,390 --> 00:09:45,290
I'm going to tell you something.

232
00:09:48,130 --> 00:09:49,330
The Lord is so precious.

233
00:09:52,270 --> 00:09:52,630
Repent.

234
00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:54,550
Just be repentant.

235
00:09:54,610 --> 00:09:55,110
Will you do that?

236
00:09:57,130 --> 00:09:58,930
And nobody ain't going to be put on

237
00:09:58,930 --> 00:10:00,010
any spot around here.

238
00:10:00,710 --> 00:10:01,550
Now, I'm going to tell you what, when

239
00:10:01,550 --> 00:10:02,350
we pray here on Friday.

240
00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:03,970
And folks, I just feel led just off

241
00:10:03,970 --> 00:10:05,210
and just tell you right here, right now.

242
00:10:06,090 --> 00:10:07,230
There's stuff coming off of you.

243
00:10:08,270 --> 00:10:09,090
All over this place.

244
00:10:09,810 --> 00:10:10,910
You're going to be so different.

245
00:10:11,790 --> 00:10:13,070
You're going to be being set free as

246
00:10:13,070 --> 00:10:14,490
you receive this word these three days.

247
00:10:16,770 --> 00:10:18,130
And on Friday, but I want you to

248
00:10:18,130 --> 00:10:20,070
do something in Jesus name.

249
00:10:20,830 --> 00:10:22,730
Don't just make mental assent the thing.

250
00:10:22,890 --> 00:10:24,250
Just agree that these things are right.

251
00:10:24,410 --> 00:10:25,650
Turn from him in your heart and say,

252
00:10:25,710 --> 00:10:26,410
God, that's right.

253
00:10:26,490 --> 00:10:27,690
And in my heart, I turn from you

254
00:10:27,690 --> 00:10:28,330
got unforgiven.

255
00:10:28,410 --> 00:10:30,230
Say, God, I choose with my will to

256
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:30,750
love and everything.

257
00:10:31,090 --> 00:10:32,270
I forgive everybody that's ever hurt me.

258
00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:33,910
And I'm willing to go to anyone you

259
00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:34,710
tell me to go to.

260
00:10:34,830 --> 00:10:35,970
You show me to go to them because

261
00:10:35,970 --> 00:10:37,770
I'm going to have it right in your

262
00:10:37,770 --> 00:10:38,070
eyes.

263
00:10:38,450 --> 00:10:39,850
Now, when you have that kind of attitude,

264
00:10:40,470 --> 00:10:41,690
folks, look out.

265
00:10:42,490 --> 00:10:44,010
And if let me ask you something.

266
00:10:44,010 --> 00:10:45,750
You got some that arthritis bothering you and

267
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:46,270
these things.

268
00:10:50,140 --> 00:10:51,480
What you do with that unforgiveness?

269
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,960
You don't have to have other arthritis.

270
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,800
What is these things that call you sneeze

271
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,640
and whatever allergies?

272
00:11:08,140 --> 00:11:09,180
That's a big, long word.

273
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,540
Well, it just wouldn't come and I need

274
00:11:13,540 --> 00:11:14,000
to say it.

275
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:14,500
Thank you, brother.

276
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:16,480
And you see what Rick's for.

277
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,240
He knows all the big ones.

278
00:11:22,830 --> 00:11:23,490
Allergies, folks.

279
00:11:25,950 --> 00:11:27,310
You don't have to leave here with allergies.

280
00:11:30,530 --> 00:11:31,650
Receive the word of God.

281
00:11:32,190 --> 00:11:33,450
Go back home without any allergies.

282
00:11:33,710 --> 00:11:34,250
OK, is that all right?

283
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:37,950
He sent his word to heal you.

284
00:11:38,070 --> 00:11:38,730
Just receive it.

285
00:11:40,350 --> 00:11:41,610
Don't try to figure it up here.

286
00:11:41,850 --> 00:11:42,630
Just get in on it.

287
00:11:44,530 --> 00:11:45,370
He'll heal, won't he, brother?

288
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:48,880
OK.

289
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:51,480
All right.

290
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,980
I turn to Romans 6, please.

291
00:12:02,890 --> 00:12:03,110
Romans.

292
00:12:09,010 --> 00:12:10,630
We're going to start in verse 1.

293
00:12:12,450 --> 00:12:13,530
All right, now.

294
00:12:14,830 --> 00:12:16,370
Romans 6, verse 1.

295
00:12:19,060 --> 00:12:20,800
What shall we say then?

296
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,880
Are we to continue in sin that grace

297
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:23,580
might increase?

298
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:24,820
Did that answer your question?

299
00:12:26,900 --> 00:12:27,900
That's a good question.

300
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:30,240
You continue in sin that grace might increase?

301
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,240
May it never be.

302
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:33,880
God forbid.

303
00:12:35,020 --> 00:12:35,880
God forbid.

304
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,680
How shall we who died to sin, believe

305
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:41,700
me, Mark, died to sin?

306
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:43,660
How will you die to sin and still

307
00:12:43,660 --> 00:12:44,120
live in it?

308
00:12:44,540 --> 00:12:45,080
Is that plain?

309
00:12:48,570 --> 00:12:51,690
Or do you not know, verse 3, that

310
00:12:51,690 --> 00:12:53,950
all of us who've been baptized into Christ

311
00:12:53,950 --> 00:12:56,210
Jesus have been baptized into his what?

312
00:12:59,390 --> 00:13:00,050
I'm going to tell you what.

313
00:13:00,070 --> 00:13:01,270
When he died, we died with him.

314
00:13:01,470 --> 00:13:01,870
We're one.

315
00:13:01,930 --> 00:13:02,430
We're hidden in him.

316
00:13:02,490 --> 00:13:02,830
Isn't that right?

317
00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:07,610
Now, this thing of grace that where you

318
00:13:07,610 --> 00:13:09,930
go and you just walk after the lust

319
00:13:09,930 --> 00:13:12,750
of flesh, folks, is not what we've been

320
00:13:12,750 --> 00:13:13,410
reading, is it?

321
00:13:15,350 --> 00:13:16,930
Matter of fact, that's what's been getting you

322
00:13:16,930 --> 00:13:17,670
killed.

323
00:13:21,050 --> 00:13:21,970
Now, verse 4.

324
00:13:22,170 --> 00:13:26,610
Therefore, we have been buried with him through

325
00:13:26,610 --> 00:13:28,090
baptism into what?

326
00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:30,690
Now, this death in order.

327
00:13:30,770 --> 00:13:31,910
Now, I want you to circle in order.

328
00:13:32,590 --> 00:13:34,630
That is, Christ was raised from the dead

329
00:13:34,630 --> 00:13:36,170
through the glory of the Father, so we

330
00:13:36,170 --> 00:13:37,350
might walk.

331
00:13:37,830 --> 00:13:39,490
Now, I want you to circle walk and

332
00:13:39,490 --> 00:13:41,350
then underline that walk in unison of life.

333
00:13:41,830 --> 00:13:43,730
Now, we were buried with him in death

334
00:13:43,730 --> 00:13:44,690
that we might walk.

335
00:13:44,810 --> 00:13:45,550
Do you understand that?

336
00:13:45,650 --> 00:13:46,690
You got a new walk.

337
00:13:47,050 --> 00:13:48,490
You walk in unison of life.

338
00:13:48,770 --> 00:13:49,490
That's in order.

339
00:13:49,670 --> 00:13:50,670
That's how you died to it.

340
00:13:50,750 --> 00:13:51,870
You walk in unison of life.

341
00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:52,330
Is that right?

342
00:13:53,830 --> 00:13:54,270
Okay.

343
00:13:55,450 --> 00:13:56,610
Now, verse 5.

344
00:13:57,330 --> 00:13:59,750
For if we have become united with him,

345
00:13:59,750 --> 00:14:00,810
is that what covenant is?

346
00:14:01,090 --> 00:14:02,030
When two become one?

347
00:14:03,250 --> 00:14:04,890
If we have been united with him in

348
00:14:04,890 --> 00:14:08,010
the likeness of his death, we deny ourself

349
00:14:08,010 --> 00:14:09,430
and take up our cross and follow him.

350
00:14:09,450 --> 00:14:09,950
Is that right?

351
00:14:11,370 --> 00:14:12,930
He who wishes to save his carton is

352
00:14:12,930 --> 00:14:13,370
going to lose it.

353
00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:15,290
Whoever loses his carton, for my sake and

354
00:14:15,290 --> 00:14:16,650
the gospel's one, is going to save it.

355
00:14:16,670 --> 00:14:16,850
Amen?

356
00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:18,770
All right.

357
00:14:18,770 --> 00:14:20,270
When you become united with him in the

358
00:14:20,270 --> 00:14:22,730
likeness of his death, certainly we shall be

359
00:14:22,730 --> 00:14:25,970
also in the likeness of his resurrection.

360
00:14:28,430 --> 00:14:29,230
Knowing this...

361
00:14:29,230 --> 00:14:30,730
Now, you're going to know something right here.

362
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:32,330
Verse 6.

363
00:14:32,410 --> 00:14:36,230
That our old man has died.

364
00:14:37,690 --> 00:14:38,690
You know what they're saying?

365
00:14:39,230 --> 00:14:40,130
Look at me, folks.

366
00:14:42,490 --> 00:14:44,030
I see a couple of people not looking

367
00:14:44,030 --> 00:14:51,470
right now.

368
00:14:53,730 --> 00:14:58,390
See, when your heart goes to the lust

369
00:14:58,390 --> 00:15:02,390
of your flesh, you love this old man.

370
00:15:02,450 --> 00:15:03,210
That's where you're married.

371
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:05,890
You're married to this.

372
00:15:06,970 --> 00:15:07,370
Corruption.

373
00:15:11,170 --> 00:15:12,610
You're married to corruption, but that's where your

374
00:15:12,610 --> 00:15:12,970
heart is.

375
00:15:14,790 --> 00:15:16,270
But then the opposite of that, your heart

376
00:15:16,270 --> 00:15:17,730
believing to righteousness.

377
00:15:19,330 --> 00:15:20,210
See, everything's a heart.

378
00:15:20,570 --> 00:15:20,890
Sinner man.

379
00:15:21,470 --> 00:15:22,270
It's all this outer man.

380
00:15:23,470 --> 00:15:23,670
All right.

381
00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:27,990
Now, knowing this, that our old man, our

382
00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:30,550
old self was crucified with Jesus, that our

383
00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:33,170
body of sin might be done away, that

384
00:15:33,170 --> 00:15:37,070
we should no longer be slaves to sin.

385
00:15:37,490 --> 00:15:38,830
If you died to sin, you're not a

386
00:15:38,830 --> 00:15:39,590
slave to sin, are you?

387
00:15:40,830 --> 00:15:45,310
Now, you understand why we possess the land?

388
00:15:46,170 --> 00:15:47,830
Now, see, it's many things of the flesh.

389
00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:50,030
Now, I'm not saying, folks, let me stop

390
00:15:50,030 --> 00:15:52,090
this because, see, some of you, there might

391
00:15:52,090 --> 00:15:54,250
be a few who never heard, never hear

392
00:15:54,250 --> 00:15:55,610
another word I say if I don't say

393
00:15:55,610 --> 00:15:55,730
it.

394
00:15:57,010 --> 00:15:59,470
I don't say everything is a demon.

395
00:16:00,730 --> 00:16:01,610
Just most everything.

396
00:16:06,170 --> 00:16:07,010
Let me just say it.

397
00:16:07,010 --> 00:16:09,330
I might forget it later on and no

398
00:16:09,330 --> 00:16:09,670
one else.

399
00:16:09,670 --> 00:16:12,910
I don't say that every sickness is caused

400
00:16:12,910 --> 00:16:13,370
by a demon.

401
00:16:13,710 --> 00:16:15,050
Just all of them I've dealt with.

402
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,430
I can't say that.

403
00:16:18,510 --> 00:16:19,250
I don't know that.

404
00:16:19,610 --> 00:16:20,530
And I've never said it.

405
00:16:26,740 --> 00:16:29,380
But because he says that he acts like

406
00:16:29,380 --> 00:16:33,500
all that sickness is caused by demons, I'm

407
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:34,620
not going to have nothing to do with

408
00:16:34,620 --> 00:16:35,440
any of it.

409
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,900
In other words, if we see a Buddhist

410
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:39,340
over here raising his hands up, we're not

411
00:16:39,340 --> 00:16:42,400
going to praise the Lord because we don't

412
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,660
like, we don't want to, we're not going

413
00:16:44,660 --> 00:16:45,160
to come over here.

414
00:16:45,260 --> 00:16:50,860
Well, in other words, see, we watch people

415
00:16:50,860 --> 00:16:52,620
merchandise the things of God.

416
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,060
And then we're going to be over here

417
00:16:57,060 --> 00:16:59,560
because we watch some devils merchandise the things

418
00:16:59,560 --> 00:16:59,840
of God.

419
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:01,220
We're unwilling to come over here and line

420
00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:02,480
up with what the word said because we

421
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,359
watch some devils working, right?

422
00:17:05,619 --> 00:17:06,960
Folks, that's what we want to avoid.

423
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:08,300
You hear?

424
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:11,420
Now, let's just stay with the word and

425
00:17:11,420 --> 00:17:13,200
its context and get in on it because

426
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,660
obviously we're looking at some things here that's

427
00:17:15,660 --> 00:17:17,460
got us really messed up.

428
00:17:17,780 --> 00:17:21,020
I'll tell you what, this is not everything,

429
00:17:21,220 --> 00:17:22,119
but I'm going to tell you this is

430
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:22,680
one of the most important things.

431
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:23,880
This is what the Spirit of God is

432
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:24,880
saying to the church today.

433
00:17:29,850 --> 00:17:31,610
Verse 7, For he who has died is

434
00:17:31,610 --> 00:17:32,350
freed from sin.

435
00:17:35,250 --> 00:17:37,670
Verse 10, For the death that he died,

436
00:17:37,950 --> 00:17:39,890
he died to sin once for all, but

437
00:17:39,890 --> 00:17:41,650
the life that he lives, he lives to

438
00:17:41,650 --> 00:17:42,030
God.

439
00:17:42,590 --> 00:17:45,030
Even so, consider yourself to be dead to

440
00:17:45,030 --> 00:17:46,830
sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

441
00:17:46,890 --> 00:17:48,610
We consider, we reckon ourselves dead.

442
00:17:48,690 --> 00:17:49,470
Isn't that right, to sin?

443
00:17:52,150 --> 00:17:55,030
Therefore, do not let sin reign.

444
00:17:56,010 --> 00:17:58,690
I heard someone say, Dominate, do not let

445
00:17:58,690 --> 00:18:02,090
sin dominate in your mortal body that you

446
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:04,470
should obey the lust of the flesh.

447
00:18:04,550 --> 00:18:05,130
Do you see that?

448
00:18:07,930 --> 00:18:08,890
I don't want to go too fast.

449
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,060
And do not go on presenting the members

450
00:18:19,060 --> 00:18:20,420
of your body to sin.

451
00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:21,620
That means the lust of the flesh.

452
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,180
So let your body, members of your body

453
00:18:23,180 --> 00:18:24,500
be involved in the lust of the flesh

454
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:26,100
as instruments of unrighteousness.

455
00:18:26,220 --> 00:18:28,460
Present yourself to God, there's a living sacrifice,

456
00:18:29,020 --> 00:18:30,100
as those who, what?

457
00:18:30,260 --> 00:18:30,780
Are alive.

458
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,100
You were dead, now you're alive.

459
00:18:32,140 --> 00:18:32,640
Is that right?

460
00:18:33,180 --> 00:18:35,500
You're alive from the dead.

461
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:35,800
Amen.

462
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,100
That's what we saw in Ephesians 2.

463
00:18:38,420 --> 00:18:41,040
And your members as instruments of what?

464
00:18:42,580 --> 00:18:43,340
Righteousness to God.

465
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,040
In other words, the members of your body

466
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,340
now, the eyes, ears, throat, the whole members

467
00:18:47,340 --> 00:18:49,680
of your body is used as right in

468
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,420
God's eyes.

469
00:18:50,860 --> 00:18:52,200
Not for the lust of the flesh.

470
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,220
Now, for sin shall not be master over

471
00:18:56,220 --> 00:18:58,780
you, verse 14, for you're not under the

472
00:18:58,780 --> 00:19:00,880
law, but you're under grace.

473
00:19:00,980 --> 00:19:01,260
Amen.

474
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,780
Mr. Sarah, he's under the law.

475
00:19:08,220 --> 00:19:09,380
And if you're led by the Spirit of

476
00:19:09,380 --> 00:19:11,220
God, you're not, you're freed from the law.

477
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:11,480
Amen.

478
00:19:14,020 --> 00:19:14,800
Verse 15.

479
00:19:14,900 --> 00:19:17,340
What then shall we sin, because we're not

480
00:19:17,340 --> 00:19:18,600
under the law, but under grace?

481
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:19,980
God forbid.

482
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,140
May it never be.

483
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,160
Folks, do we see these things over and

484
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,560
over and over and over and over?

485
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,300
May it never be.

486
00:19:34,780 --> 00:19:35,180
16.

487
00:19:35,260 --> 00:19:36,700
Do you not know that when you present

488
00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:39,780
yourself to someone as slaves for obedience, now

489
00:19:39,780 --> 00:19:40,400
watch this.

490
00:19:41,260 --> 00:19:42,740
Now, you know God is talking to you

491
00:19:42,740 --> 00:19:43,780
and the Spirit of the devil is talking

492
00:19:43,780 --> 00:19:44,180
to you too.

493
00:19:44,220 --> 00:19:44,680
Is that correct?

494
00:19:45,020 --> 00:19:46,140
Now, I want you to keep that in

495
00:19:46,140 --> 00:19:47,080
mind when we read this verse.

496
00:19:47,140 --> 00:19:47,500
16.

497
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,300
Do you not know that when you present

498
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:52,300
yourself to someone as slaves for obedience, you

499
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:56,520
are slaves of the one whom you obey?

500
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:57,560
Do you understand that?

501
00:19:58,380 --> 00:19:59,880
Now, here's your choice.

502
00:20:00,340 --> 00:20:02,720
Either of sin, if you're a slave of

503
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,060
sin, this results in what?

504
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:05,480
Death.

505
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,320
Or if you're a slave of obedience, it

506
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,120
results in what?

507
00:20:10,340 --> 00:20:12,580
If you're a slave of obedience of the

508
00:20:12,580 --> 00:20:13,180
Word, right?

509
00:20:13,420 --> 00:20:14,280
That results in right.

510
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,500
Now, you've got two choices there.

511
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:15,980
Is that right?

512
00:20:16,580 --> 00:20:16,840
All right.

513
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,120
If you will, you're going to choose.

514
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,640
Now, but thanks be to God that though

515
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,100
you were a slave.

516
00:20:24,140 --> 00:20:24,920
Now, what does that say?

517
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:26,520
You've become obedient from where?

518
00:20:29,410 --> 00:20:30,770
May I just tell you that a form

519
00:20:30,770 --> 00:20:32,110
of godliness is not godliness?

520
00:20:39,300 --> 00:20:42,500
You have become obedient from right here, your

521
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:42,840
heart.

522
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,460
Now, a lot of this obedience works up

523
00:20:45,460 --> 00:20:45,600
here.

524
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:46,480
It doesn't work, folks.

525
00:20:47,380 --> 00:20:48,920
Right here is where the obedience comes from.

526
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,000
But you have become obedient from your heart

527
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,780
to that form of teaching, which is the

528
00:20:53,780 --> 00:20:54,780
Word and the gospel.

529
00:20:54,780 --> 00:20:57,780
Would you just underline the form of teaching

530
00:20:57,780 --> 00:20:58,140
right there?

531
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,900
You've become obedient to the Word and the

532
00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:00,140
gospel.

533
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,160
That's what he's talking about.

534
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:03,600
To which you were what?

535
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,660
You're committed there when you make Jesus Christ

536
00:21:06,660 --> 00:21:06,920
Lord.

537
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,280
When you're Lord, you do what you say.

538
00:21:08,580 --> 00:21:10,760
You take every thought captive to the obedience

539
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:11,300
of who?

540
00:21:12,580 --> 00:21:14,000
And it tells you over and over and

541
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,100
over that we're not subject to not live

542
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:17,560
for the lust of flesh, but for the

543
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:17,860
what?

544
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,640
The will of God, which is our commitment

545
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,340
to the gospel.

546
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:21,640
Amen.

547
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,660
Now, there are a lot of gospels today.

548
00:21:25,740 --> 00:21:26,280
You understand that?

549
00:21:26,660 --> 00:21:28,340
I'm talking about this gospel right here.

550
00:21:32,660 --> 00:21:33,940
Now, verse 18.

551
00:21:34,060 --> 00:21:35,920
And having been freed from sin, you are

552
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:36,920
now slaves of what?

553
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,260
All right, if you're a slave of rights,

554
00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:41,100
you're a slave to the Word.

555
00:21:41,220 --> 00:21:43,800
You're a slave to walking right in God's

556
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:44,060
eyes.

557
00:21:44,540 --> 00:21:46,100
You're taking every thought captive to the obedience

558
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:47,520
of Jesus, and that's what God put it

559
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:48,720
in his Bible for, so you can do

560
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,040
it, right?

561
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,020
Okay, now verse 22.

562
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,360
But now, having been freed from sin, we're

563
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,860
freed from sin, we're now enslaved to God,

564
00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:00,780
you derive your benefit.

565
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,740
What is your benefit resulting in what?

566
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,800
All right, now look here.

567
00:22:05,140 --> 00:22:11,430
When you walk in righteousness, folks, you are

568
00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:11,970
separated.

569
00:22:12,910 --> 00:22:16,130
You don't look, you don't walk, talk, or

570
00:22:16,130 --> 00:22:16,730
act like the world.

571
00:22:16,790 --> 00:22:17,370
You're sanctified.

572
00:22:17,550 --> 00:22:18,910
You're separated into God.

573
00:22:20,530 --> 00:22:22,850
You're lively stones that make up a spiritual

574
00:22:22,850 --> 00:22:25,010
house, a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual

575
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:27,290
sacrifice, except for God in Christ Jesus.

576
00:22:30,060 --> 00:22:30,860
You're sanctified.

577
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:31,780
That's what sanctify.

578
00:22:31,980 --> 00:22:34,020
But if you walk, talk, and act like

579
00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:36,000
the world, what sanctification is there in that?

580
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,460
I couldn't tell you from the lion's club.

581
00:22:41,980 --> 00:22:43,400
Matter of fact, the lion's club, enjoy it

582
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:43,820
a little more.

583
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,950
Better fellowship than some of us have been

584
00:22:49,950 --> 00:22:50,090
in.

585
00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:53,810
Well, I thank the Lord he's changing that.

586
00:22:55,570 --> 00:22:57,490
All right, you've been freed from sin, enslaved

587
00:22:57,490 --> 00:22:59,810
to God, you derive your benefit resulting in

588
00:22:59,810 --> 00:23:02,250
sanctification, and the outcome of all of this

589
00:23:02,250 --> 00:23:02,650
is what?

590
00:23:05,690 --> 00:23:08,720
Now, that's pretty good, isn't it?

591
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,380
Now, that's the result of eternal life.

592
00:23:10,420 --> 00:23:11,300
Let's just read it again.

593
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,620
But now, having been freed from sin, enslaved

594
00:23:13,620 --> 00:23:16,060
to God, you're freed from sin, you're enslaved

595
00:23:16,060 --> 00:23:18,060
to God, you derive your benefit.

596
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,520
Now, the resulting of that sanctification, you're separated

597
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,740
from the world into righteousness.

598
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,480
You don't look, and the outcome of all

599
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,640
this is eternal life.

600
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:26,820
Isn't that good?

601
00:23:27,460 --> 00:23:29,940
Now, in verse 23, For the wages of

602
00:23:29,940 --> 00:23:30,820
sin is death.

603
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:31,960
Is that plain?

604
00:23:32,140 --> 00:23:34,540
In church, out of church, the wages of

605
00:23:34,540 --> 00:23:35,480
sin is death.

606
00:23:35,620 --> 00:23:38,220
Front row, platform, the wages of sin is

607
00:23:38,220 --> 00:23:38,540
death.

608
00:23:40,820 --> 00:23:44,580
But the free gift of God is eternal

609
00:23:44,580 --> 00:23:47,300
life in, in, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

610
00:23:47,340 --> 00:23:49,120
Now, that's a big verse there, in Christ

611
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:49,760
Jesus our Lord.

612
00:23:49,820 --> 00:23:51,160
And we'll just see a little more about

613
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,780
that in Christ Jesus our Lord later on

614
00:23:52,780 --> 00:23:54,000
in 1 John 2.

615
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,060
Do you know in Romans 9, it was

616
00:23:56,060 --> 00:23:58,280
talking about a church who was pursuing righteousness

617
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,200
as though but works.

618
00:23:59,300 --> 00:24:00,500
It's talking about the Gentiles.

619
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,980
And this is part of your scripture.

620
00:24:03,980 --> 00:24:05,040
I'm not going to turn there now.

621
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,780
But it says, Israel is not like the

622
00:24:08,780 --> 00:24:09,160
Gentiles.

623
00:24:09,260 --> 00:24:11,480
The Gentiles were pursuing righteousness as though by

624
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,780
faith, they coming into the Lord.

625
00:24:13,060 --> 00:24:15,880
And by faith, they were pursuing righteousness.

626
00:24:18,970 --> 00:24:22,270
They're walking right in God's eyes by faith

627
00:24:22,270 --> 00:24:23,370
in this word.

628
00:24:26,020 --> 00:24:32,220
But Israel was pursuing righteousness by works.

629
00:24:34,150 --> 00:24:35,750
They were helping God out, a number of

630
00:24:35,750 --> 00:24:36,010
things.

631
00:24:37,950 --> 00:24:39,110
I want to tell you what Paul said

632
00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:39,570
about them.

633
00:24:40,450 --> 00:24:44,890
Paul said, in Romans 10, he says, I

634
00:24:44,890 --> 00:24:48,440
pray for the church, Israel.

635
00:24:51,350 --> 00:24:53,610
He says, I pray for their salvation.

636
00:24:54,950 --> 00:24:55,770
Are you hearing me?

637
00:24:56,930 --> 00:24:58,730
I pray for their salvation.

638
00:25:00,350 --> 00:25:02,190
They have a zeal for God.

639
00:25:03,810 --> 00:25:05,910
This church, Paul says, has a zeal for

640
00:25:05,910 --> 00:25:09,370
God, but it's not according to the word,

641
00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:09,950
knowledge.

642
00:25:12,030 --> 00:25:14,810
And being ignorant of what the righteousness of

643
00:25:14,810 --> 00:25:19,390
God really is right here, they establish their

644
00:25:19,390 --> 00:25:23,290
own righteousness, which is self-righteousness, or some

645
00:25:23,290 --> 00:25:24,070
other kind of righteousness.

646
00:25:25,510 --> 00:25:27,870
And they do not submit to the righteousness

647
00:25:27,870 --> 00:25:28,770
that comes from God.

648
00:25:28,850 --> 00:25:29,470
Is that person wrong?

649
00:25:30,050 --> 00:25:31,990
So, I pray for their salvation, Paul says.

650
00:25:32,670 --> 00:25:33,590
Maybe we ought to look at it.

651
00:25:34,250 --> 00:25:35,050
We're close to it.

652
00:25:35,070 --> 00:25:35,890
Turn over to Romans.

653
00:25:36,930 --> 00:25:38,150
I've told you about it now.

654
00:25:38,170 --> 00:25:39,330
Let's just look at it in Romans.

655
00:25:39,550 --> 00:25:41,010
Look at Romans 9 first.

656
00:25:41,090 --> 00:25:41,310
We're going to see it.

657
00:25:41,330 --> 00:25:43,310
We're going to see this pursuing.

658
00:25:43,910 --> 00:25:44,290
Let's start.

659
00:25:44,930 --> 00:25:46,350
I was going to be in 32, but

660
00:25:46,350 --> 00:25:47,670
I'm going to back up there to 30.

661
00:25:48,950 --> 00:25:50,490
930, what shall we say then?

662
00:25:50,650 --> 00:25:53,770
That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness, attained

663
00:25:53,770 --> 00:25:56,410
righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith.

664
00:25:56,690 --> 00:26:00,850
But Israel, now there's the church of that

665
00:26:00,850 --> 00:26:04,170
day, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not

666
00:26:04,170 --> 00:26:05,170
arrive at that law.

667
00:26:05,250 --> 00:26:05,610
Why?

668
00:26:06,210 --> 00:26:08,790
Because they did not pursue it by what?

669
00:26:10,490 --> 00:26:10,850
Faith.

670
00:26:14,610 --> 00:26:15,590
They didn't pursue it by faith.

671
00:26:17,190 --> 00:26:18,490
They don't have to trust God for anything.

672
00:26:19,510 --> 00:26:20,850
Probably like some of the things we do

673
00:26:20,850 --> 00:26:21,170
today.

674
00:26:22,430 --> 00:26:23,730
You don't have to trust God for too

675
00:26:23,730 --> 00:26:24,690
much when you go to the world and

676
00:26:24,690 --> 00:26:25,750
get everything you need, do you?

677
00:26:30,580 --> 00:26:32,120
Because they did not pursue it by faith,

678
00:26:32,180 --> 00:26:33,420
though it was what?

679
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:36,020
Works.

680
00:26:37,780 --> 00:26:39,620
Boy, you saw how they're helping God out.

681
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:44,580
You ever see that church over in Revelation

682
00:26:44,580 --> 00:26:46,600
18, babbling, making a name for themselves?

683
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,840
They stumble over the stumbling stone, that's Jesus.

684
00:26:52,980 --> 00:26:55,200
Now, in Romans 10, verse 1, look here,

685
00:26:55,300 --> 00:26:57,920
Paul says, Brethren, my heart's desire and my

686
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,480
prayer to God is for who?

687
00:27:01,420 --> 00:27:03,520
For them is for their what?

688
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,180
It's for their salvation.

689
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,100
For I bear them witness that they have

690
00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:10,640
a zeal for God, but it's not according

691
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:11,120
to the Word.

692
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:12,440
Is that what he says?

693
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:14,680
It's not according to the Word.

694
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,860
And not knowing about God's righteousness, they establish

695
00:27:18,860 --> 00:27:20,880
their own righteousness, which is self-righteous, some

696
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,160
other righteousness, and do not subject themselves, they're

697
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,200
not going to let them subject themselves to

698
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,480
the righteousness of God.

699
00:27:26,540 --> 00:27:28,060
Folks, there's a whole lot of righteousness today.

700
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:29,160
Do you know there are many kinds of

701
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:29,500
righteousness?

702
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:30,820
There's many kinds of Gospels.

703
00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:31,800
There's many kinds of Jesus.

704
00:27:31,940 --> 00:27:33,480
This Jesus can do this, this Jesus can

705
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,160
do that, and this Jesus can't do anything.

706
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:39,870
There's one righteousness.

707
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:47,680
There's one Gospel, there's one Jesus.

708
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,100
There's one church.

709
00:27:53,220 --> 00:27:57,240
And I want to tell you what, the

710
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,620
Spirit of God is the one that takes

711
00:27:58,620 --> 00:27:58,880
the lead.

712
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,080
We don't lead the Spirit of God.

713
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,980
It's not, God, come on down here and

714
00:28:02,980 --> 00:28:05,340
cooperate with us, you see what we're trying

715
00:28:05,340 --> 00:28:05,980
to do for you.

716
00:28:10,750 --> 00:28:13,110
The righteousness of God is led by the

717
00:28:13,110 --> 00:28:13,730
Spirit of God.

718
00:28:15,690 --> 00:28:17,070
And I want to just ask you something.

719
00:28:21,070 --> 00:28:22,930
Does the church today, for the most part,

720
00:28:23,030 --> 00:28:27,110
pursue righteousness by dying to the flesh and

721
00:28:27,110 --> 00:28:27,790
practicing righteousness?

722
00:28:27,810 --> 00:28:29,990
That means walking and talking and acting like

723
00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:30,270
God?

724
00:28:32,970 --> 00:28:34,810
Does the church today walk like the world?

725
00:28:38,220 --> 00:28:39,500
Do they walk after the flesh?

726
00:28:41,580 --> 00:28:43,860
Do they pursue righteousness as though by works?

727
00:28:49,930 --> 00:28:51,610
Do they want to build temples and things

728
00:28:51,610 --> 00:28:52,830
that we can see with our eyes where

729
00:28:52,830 --> 00:28:54,530
God, instead of building up this inner man,

730
00:28:55,530 --> 00:28:56,450
this temple here.

731
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:01,900
So I want to tell you something.

732
00:29:03,540 --> 00:29:05,040
People who are in works don't have to

733
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:05,920
trust God for anything.

734
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:07,540
They're not being led by the Spirit of

735
00:29:07,540 --> 00:29:07,700
God.

736
00:29:07,900 --> 00:29:09,040
They work it all out themselves.

737
00:29:15,830 --> 00:29:17,410
You know, I've already told you they're not

738
00:29:17,410 --> 00:29:19,290
a Baptist righteousness or a Methodist righteousness.

739
00:29:19,370 --> 00:29:20,630
I just want to mention that.

740
00:29:22,770 --> 00:29:24,030
There's only one righteousness.

741
00:29:24,330 --> 00:29:25,910
They're not a Pentecostal righteousness, they're a charismatic

742
00:29:25,910 --> 00:29:26,450
righteousness.

743
00:29:28,330 --> 00:29:30,910
There's not a Baptist gospel and a Methodist

744
00:29:30,910 --> 00:29:33,650
gospel and Pentecostal gospel and charismatic gospel.

745
00:29:35,330 --> 00:29:37,650
There's not a Baptist Jesus and a Methodist

746
00:29:37,650 --> 00:29:39,990
Jesus and a Pentecostal Jesus and a charismatic

747
00:29:39,990 --> 00:29:40,470
Jesus.

748
00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:41,510
There's only one Jesus.

749
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,060
I suggest, and I don't know where you

750
00:29:50,060 --> 00:29:52,460
folks coming from, it doesn't matter.

751
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,440
The only thing that matters is Jesus crucified.

752
00:29:55,340 --> 00:29:57,460
It doesn't matter who you are or what

753
00:29:57,460 --> 00:29:58,900
you are or what you've done or anything

754
00:29:58,900 --> 00:29:59,260
else.

755
00:29:59,780 --> 00:30:03,060
The only thing that matters is Jesus Christ

756
00:30:03,060 --> 00:30:03,580
as your Lord.

757
00:30:06,230 --> 00:30:09,210
So what I just want to encourage you

758
00:30:09,210 --> 00:30:10,290
to look at your Word and see if

759
00:30:10,290 --> 00:30:16,110
everything that we call church today is church.

760
00:30:19,910 --> 00:30:21,730
Since everything you call a Christian today is

761
00:30:21,730 --> 00:30:24,630
Christian, is there going to be a great

762
00:30:24,630 --> 00:30:25,730
fall in the way of the last days?

763
00:30:27,330 --> 00:30:28,350
What is the fall in the way of

764
00:30:28,350 --> 00:30:28,870
the last days?

765
00:30:28,950 --> 00:30:29,670
That's apostasy.

766
00:30:30,290 --> 00:30:31,650
That's departing from the Word of God.

767
00:30:32,370 --> 00:30:34,030
You start calling things of God, it's not

768
00:30:34,030 --> 00:30:34,410
God.

769
00:30:34,610 --> 00:30:34,870
Amen?

770
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:40,680
I'm going to tell you something.

771
00:30:41,780 --> 00:30:43,920
The church in this Word makes disciples.

772
00:30:46,890 --> 00:30:47,690
They teach them a Word.

773
00:30:49,410 --> 00:30:50,950
You know, in the days of Charles Finney,

774
00:30:51,410 --> 00:30:56,220
he started, he had a morning's bench.

775
00:30:56,900 --> 00:30:58,620
And people would come to the morning's bench,

776
00:31:02,100 --> 00:31:03,660
and they would cry out the Lord.

777
00:31:08,010 --> 00:31:12,310
And later on the Salvation Army, and as

778
00:31:12,310 --> 00:31:13,990
I understand the Salvation Army is a lot

779
00:31:13,990 --> 00:31:18,830
different then than it is today, but would

780
00:31:18,830 --> 00:31:21,570
have some strong messages about the Lord.

781
00:31:21,710 --> 00:31:23,850
And they started giving invitations.

782
00:31:28,690 --> 00:31:29,790
Now, I want you to be aware of

783
00:31:29,790 --> 00:31:31,070
all these things as I share it with

784
00:31:31,070 --> 00:31:31,170
you.

785
00:31:31,190 --> 00:31:33,150
You've got an enemy that talks to you,

786
00:31:33,470 --> 00:31:34,970
and he can tell all the people the

787
00:31:34,970 --> 00:31:37,010
same thing to get them, you know, off.

788
00:31:37,790 --> 00:31:39,250
See, we have to line up here.

789
00:31:40,070 --> 00:31:41,150
The Lord leads us in all truth.

790
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,020
But they would have invitations for sinners, and

791
00:31:46,020 --> 00:31:48,020
they would come to this morning's bench, which

792
00:31:48,020 --> 00:31:54,480
the Salvation Army started, and for days sometimes.

793
00:31:54,620 --> 00:31:57,180
So ours, people would stay there and just

794
00:31:57,180 --> 00:31:59,520
instruct them as they would get things right

795
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:00,140
before God.

796
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,300
Now, let me give you a little example

797
00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:02,660
of that.

798
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:04,700
I've watched this over.

799
00:32:04,780 --> 00:32:06,600
You let me get around somebody that's just

800
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,280
really broken.

801
00:32:07,420 --> 00:32:08,440
I don't mean self-pity.

802
00:32:10,020 --> 00:32:11,840
I mean, it's really broken and sorry about

803
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:12,640
their sins of the Lord.

804
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,560
I can't wait to pray for them.

805
00:32:18,090 --> 00:32:19,690
You let somebody just really get broken.

806
00:32:19,990 --> 00:32:21,630
Folks, do you ever see anybody just get

807
00:32:21,630 --> 00:32:23,550
down and just cry out to the Lord?

808
00:32:23,670 --> 00:32:25,690
Just cry out to the Lord, and so

809
00:32:25,690 --> 00:32:27,630
sorry, and just loving the Lord so much

810
00:32:27,630 --> 00:32:28,830
that they're just so sorry and sorry.

811
00:32:30,510 --> 00:32:31,790
Folks, do you ever notice what kind of

812
00:32:31,790 --> 00:32:32,750
people there are when you get up?

813
00:32:33,650 --> 00:32:34,890
Do you ever notice that something's come off

814
00:32:34,890 --> 00:32:38,820
of them, that they're different, they're broken?

815
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,750
Now, these people that would be in these

816
00:32:45,750 --> 00:32:51,050
meetings, as the enemy is always there to

817
00:32:51,050 --> 00:32:55,350
pervert things, then someone would just say this,

818
00:32:55,470 --> 00:32:59,630
and possibly being led by sensuality in the

819
00:32:59,630 --> 00:33:06,640
flesh, then coming down the aisle, replaces repentance

820
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:16,610
and a godly sorrow, and

821
00:33:16,610 --> 00:33:21,490
then start building a foundation of numbers instead

822
00:33:21,490 --> 00:33:24,410
of righteousness, a foundation.

823
00:33:25,790 --> 00:33:27,350
If part of this is going to affect

824
00:33:27,350 --> 00:33:28,750
the numbers, let's don't mess with it.

825
00:33:29,470 --> 00:33:30,730
Let's don't lose a big tither.

826
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,720
Let's don't upset some folks' flesh.

827
00:33:49,090 --> 00:33:53,250
So we learn when we make a foundation

828
00:33:53,250 --> 00:34:00,510
of numbers and good reports, we start wanting

829
00:34:00,510 --> 00:34:02,210
to get decisions instead of disciples.

830
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:11,380
And in some many times, too many times,

831
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,100
and this is the kind of thing that

832
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:16,840
Billy Graham and many of the particular people

833
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,560
that go through the churches see the losses

834
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,060
of the people in the church today.

835
00:34:22,530 --> 00:34:26,170
They go through there, and these people in

836
00:34:26,170 --> 00:34:29,150
too many cases, that's not to say that

837
00:34:29,150 --> 00:34:30,389
everybody that walks down the aisle is not

838
00:34:30,389 --> 00:34:30,630
saved.

839
00:34:30,710 --> 00:34:31,429
I'm not saying that.

840
00:34:31,850 --> 00:34:32,889
Listen, hear what I'm saying.

841
00:34:32,969 --> 00:34:34,389
Don't try to add something I'm not saying.

842
00:34:35,750 --> 00:34:37,170
There are too many people that come down

843
00:34:37,170 --> 00:34:40,150
the aisle, and a man is led by

844
00:34:40,150 --> 00:34:42,770
his thoughts and things, and we start exalting

845
00:34:42,770 --> 00:34:43,210
ministries.

846
00:34:43,350 --> 00:34:45,210
You know, my ministry has got to look

847
00:34:45,210 --> 00:34:45,409
good.

848
00:34:45,449 --> 00:34:46,510
I'm not going to deal with that part

849
00:34:46,510 --> 00:34:46,810
of the Lord.

850
00:34:46,830 --> 00:34:48,710
Lord, I can't deal with that part of

851
00:34:48,710 --> 00:34:48,909
the Lord.

852
00:34:49,070 --> 00:34:50,690
It's going to make my ministry look good,

853
00:34:50,710 --> 00:34:51,650
and I've got to help you out.

854
00:34:51,710 --> 00:34:53,010
Now, that's what Satan tried to do to

855
00:34:53,010 --> 00:34:54,370
Jesus when he got him to jump off

856
00:34:54,370 --> 00:34:56,150
the temple in the courtyard there, and he

857
00:34:56,150 --> 00:34:57,350
could lead all the people to God.

858
00:35:00,690 --> 00:35:01,870
We're not going to lead the people to

859
00:35:01,870 --> 00:35:02,090
God.

860
00:35:03,630 --> 00:35:04,890
God's going to get in on it.

861
00:35:06,970 --> 00:35:09,590
So, I just want to ask you, and

862
00:35:09,590 --> 00:35:13,610
I just want to ask you to just

863
00:35:13,610 --> 00:35:16,630
examine these things, because when we're not taking

864
00:35:16,630 --> 00:35:18,410
thoughts carefully, we're not aware of all these

865
00:35:18,410 --> 00:35:18,630
things.

866
00:35:18,930 --> 00:35:22,930
Deceitful, deceitful, very deceptive thoughts come in here

867
00:35:22,930 --> 00:35:26,030
that cause us to start drifting, and we

868
00:35:26,030 --> 00:35:29,290
start getting a foundation of good reports and

869
00:35:29,290 --> 00:35:31,550
looking good and making an eye and a

870
00:35:31,550 --> 00:35:33,510
heart on our works and what we're doing,

871
00:35:33,550 --> 00:35:34,990
and just forget about the works of God,

872
00:35:35,090 --> 00:35:35,250
see.

873
00:35:36,670 --> 00:35:38,570
And then we get busy making a name

874
00:35:38,570 --> 00:35:38,830
for ourselves.

875
00:35:38,910 --> 00:35:40,110
Well, listen, if you're making a name for

876
00:35:40,110 --> 00:35:43,510
yourself and your ministry, and your ministry, you're

877
00:35:43,510 --> 00:35:44,850
not making a name for the Lord Jesus

878
00:35:44,850 --> 00:35:45,270
Christ.

879
00:35:45,790 --> 00:35:47,470
If you've got some kind of image you've

880
00:35:47,470 --> 00:35:50,750
got to protect, then you haven't taken on

881
00:35:50,750 --> 00:35:51,950
the image of the Lord Jesus Christ.

882
00:35:52,030 --> 00:35:53,430
The only name you make a name for

883
00:35:53,430 --> 00:35:53,850
is Jesus.

884
00:35:54,010 --> 00:35:55,430
Now, that is what the Bible says.

885
00:35:57,070 --> 00:36:00,550
Babylon, the world in a church who acts

886
00:36:00,550 --> 00:36:02,510
like the world and walks and talks like

887
00:36:02,510 --> 00:36:04,370
that world, makes a name for herself.

888
00:36:06,610 --> 00:36:12,520
Now, see, these traditions and things that many

889
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:13,780
of them have been handed down to folks,

890
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,600
I'm going to tell you, and the Lord

891
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,900
can easily show you, as you get in

892
00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:19,080
the Word, I'm going to tell you what

893
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,480
the Lord expects you to get the Word.

894
00:36:20,540 --> 00:36:21,800
He wants to lead you in all truth.

895
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,640
And so you can raise up in things,

896
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:25,320
they look good.

897
00:36:28,540 --> 00:36:30,500
They look good when we compare ourself among

898
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:32,160
ourselves and measure ourselves by ourselves.

899
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,880
But does it measure up to this yardstick

900
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,380
right here?

901
00:36:41,380 --> 00:36:42,840
That's where the Pharisees missed it.

902
00:36:47,260 --> 00:36:48,420
A few of them got saved, but they

903
00:36:48,420 --> 00:36:52,220
all went to hell too, you know, that

904
00:36:52,220 --> 00:36:52,880
didn't get saved.

905
00:36:57,050 --> 00:36:58,970
So it's a serious thing, but what I'm

906
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,330
trying to point out to you, that my

907
00:37:00,330 --> 00:37:03,870
part, part of my part, is exposing the

908
00:37:03,870 --> 00:37:05,250
powers of darkness as we go through the

909
00:37:05,250 --> 00:37:05,390
Word.

910
00:37:05,450 --> 00:37:06,970
I want you to be conscious, and pastors,

911
00:37:07,090 --> 00:37:08,730
I want you to think about this as

912
00:37:08,730 --> 00:37:12,570
we go through, because if the powers of

913
00:37:12,570 --> 00:37:15,810
darkness, if they're there, like I've said at

914
00:37:15,810 --> 00:37:17,650
the very beginning of the testimony, we've got

915
00:37:17,650 --> 00:37:18,650
a very serious problem.

916
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,800
If they're not there, then you have a

917
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,280
nut here that you come three days to

918
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:25,500
hear.

919
00:37:29,690 --> 00:37:31,530
Now if they are there, what are they

920
00:37:31,530 --> 00:37:32,090
doing there?

921
00:37:32,630 --> 00:37:35,490
They've been perverting the things of the Lord.

922
00:37:36,670 --> 00:37:37,970
They've been deceiving us.

923
00:37:38,970 --> 00:37:41,050
And so in you and me, brother and

924
00:37:41,050 --> 00:37:42,550
sister, we all come back to the Word

925
00:37:42,550 --> 00:37:43,010
of God.

926
00:37:43,830 --> 00:37:45,070
We start all over again.

927
00:37:45,690 --> 00:37:49,110
We say something like this, Lord, you know

928
00:37:49,110 --> 00:37:50,310
what I know that's wrong.

929
00:37:51,150 --> 00:37:52,010
I'm teachable.

930
00:37:52,730 --> 00:37:54,050
I love you more than I do my

931
00:37:54,050 --> 00:37:54,390
tradition.

932
00:37:54,490 --> 00:37:56,290
You know, somebody loves their traditions more than

933
00:37:56,290 --> 00:37:58,590
they do the Word, is not teachable.

934
00:37:59,490 --> 00:38:02,570
If someone is intimidated by men, and fearful

935
00:38:02,570 --> 00:38:05,970
of men, they'll not come to the Word

936
00:38:05,970 --> 00:38:06,310
of God.

937
00:38:06,450 --> 00:38:08,450
See, that's what scares people off the Word,

938
00:38:09,130 --> 00:38:11,710
because they want approval of men, folks.

939
00:38:14,110 --> 00:38:14,950
They're not teachable.

940
00:38:15,990 --> 00:38:17,070
God's not going to lead them in all

941
00:38:17,070 --> 00:38:18,530
truth, because their heart is somewhere else.

942
00:38:19,330 --> 00:38:20,570
They've got idols in their heart.

943
00:38:23,770 --> 00:38:27,570
But if we truly love the Lord and

944
00:38:27,570 --> 00:38:29,310
we love His Word, we can come to

945
00:38:29,310 --> 00:38:30,810
the Lord something like this and say, Lord,

946
00:38:31,850 --> 00:38:33,470
I believe the Lord will take you up

947
00:38:33,470 --> 00:38:33,910
on it, too.

948
00:38:39,010 --> 00:38:41,490
Lord, I've let my heart go toward things

949
00:38:41,490 --> 00:38:42,750
that I shouldn't have let it go to.

950
00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:44,690
And when you just go ahead and name

951
00:38:44,690 --> 00:38:46,810
off the things you've let your heart be

952
00:38:46,810 --> 00:38:49,250
authority in your life besides the order of

953
00:38:49,250 --> 00:38:51,130
God, that's not to say there's not spiritual

954
00:38:51,130 --> 00:38:51,450
authority.

955
00:38:51,550 --> 00:38:52,430
There are spiritual authority.

956
00:38:52,910 --> 00:38:54,570
But everything that goes by title, I don't

957
00:38:54,570 --> 00:38:55,610
subject myself to.

958
00:38:55,690 --> 00:38:56,290
You understand that?

959
00:38:56,690 --> 00:38:59,730
I subject myself to the Jesus in authority,

960
00:39:00,310 --> 00:39:03,110
not by somebody that just goes by titles

961
00:39:03,110 --> 00:39:04,650
and things like that, because I don't think

962
00:39:04,650 --> 00:39:06,190
there's ever been a time of false teaching

963
00:39:06,190 --> 00:39:07,830
and false prophets as there are today.

964
00:39:08,830 --> 00:39:09,510
Never, ever.

965
00:39:09,670 --> 00:39:11,410
I don't think Satan has never been more

966
00:39:11,410 --> 00:39:13,130
successful than he is right now at this

967
00:39:13,130 --> 00:39:13,410
moment.

968
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:16,020
Why not?

969
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,820
That's exactly the way it's supposed to be.

970
00:39:19,820 --> 00:39:21,380
That's what Satan said it would be in

971
00:39:21,380 --> 00:39:22,000
the last days.

972
00:39:23,180 --> 00:39:24,980
But say, Lord, if I held...

973
00:39:24,980 --> 00:39:26,520
Now, I think this would be fair for

974
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,260
each one of us here.

975
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:28,480
Do you want to be honest with the

976
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:28,580
Lord?

977
00:39:28,740 --> 00:39:30,160
Your Word says that you will lead me

978
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:30,760
in all truth.

979
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,400
In the traditions and things that I've learned,

980
00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:36,160
Lord, you know what I've learned wrong.

981
00:39:36,980 --> 00:39:37,960
I'm teachable, Lord.

982
00:39:38,660 --> 00:39:40,620
Now, right now, I fix my heart on

983
00:39:40,620 --> 00:39:40,820
you.

984
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:41,760
You are the teacher.

985
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,300
Unless I hear you speak through anyone, I'm

986
00:39:44,300 --> 00:39:45,160
not going to receive anything.

987
00:39:45,540 --> 00:39:49,320
I'm not going to receive anything in Milt

988
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,820
Green or a seminar or James Robinson or

989
00:39:51,820 --> 00:39:54,380
no one else until it's confirmed in my

990
00:39:54,380 --> 00:39:56,220
heart, until I know it from God.

991
00:39:56,460 --> 00:39:57,360
Is anything wrong with that?

992
00:40:00,430 --> 00:40:02,010
And now, Lord, my eyes are fixed on

993
00:40:02,010 --> 00:40:02,110
you.

994
00:40:02,110 --> 00:40:03,250
My heart is seeking truth.

995
00:40:03,650 --> 00:40:04,470
Now, I'm seeking you.

996
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:05,530
I just turned my heart.

997
00:40:05,650 --> 00:40:07,050
I'm going to get in your Word, Lord,

998
00:40:07,570 --> 00:40:08,890
because I just found out I don't have

999
00:40:08,890 --> 00:40:10,830
to speak Hebrew to learn what's in there,

1000
00:40:13,700 --> 00:40:14,600
that you'll teach me.

1001
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,820
And you said you're no respecter of any

1002
00:40:16,820 --> 00:40:18,660
people, so it doesn't matter, Lord, if I

1003
00:40:18,660 --> 00:40:22,100
just got past the first grade, you'd teach

1004
00:40:22,100 --> 00:40:22,820
me to read, too.

1005
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:27,740
That sound like God?

1006
00:40:29,380 --> 00:40:30,700
Well, that's the way it is.

1007
00:40:32,340 --> 00:40:34,480
Can't you just see God coming over here

1008
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:39,200
to me and say, Milt, boy, I sure

1009
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:39,740
do need you.

1010
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,040
You've got that big organization.

1011
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:44,040
You know so many people.

1012
00:40:45,260 --> 00:40:47,080
I need somebody like you to come and

1013
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:47,760
teach a seminar.

1014
00:40:53,620 --> 00:40:57,380
You see, folks, I say these things simply

1015
00:40:57,380 --> 00:40:57,860
because.

1016
00:40:59,220 --> 00:41:00,240
I don't have anything.

1017
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:01,420
I don't have to be anything.

1018
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,100
There's a lot of freedom not having to

1019
00:41:03,100 --> 00:41:03,480
be nothing.

1020
00:41:03,580 --> 00:41:04,020
Do you know that?

1021
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,920
I say this to encourage you, because I

1022
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,080
have been discouraged a lot.

1023
00:41:13,220 --> 00:41:14,640
We've all been in the war and things

1024
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:15,100
like that.

1025
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,800
But I tell you, the Lord has special

1026
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,000
things for each one of you.

1027
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:20,840
I want to tell you something.

1028
00:41:21,020 --> 00:41:23,000
I don't think no one has a harder

1029
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,580
time in the traditions we brought in than

1030
00:41:24,580 --> 00:41:25,080
shepherds.

1031
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:27,900
They kind of get in it by their

1032
00:41:27,900 --> 00:41:28,220
selves.

1033
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:29,140
That's the way tradition is.

1034
00:41:29,180 --> 00:41:29,940
They've got to know everything.

1035
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:31,200
Do they have to be the whole loaf

1036
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,600
and impale a sow?

1037
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,720
And then get them out there serving flesh,

1038
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:37,660
waiting tables.

1039
00:41:39,020 --> 00:41:39,380
Pitiful.

1040
00:41:42,950 --> 00:41:43,650
Break your heart.

1041
00:41:44,010 --> 00:41:45,170
Go to bed and kind of see what

1042
00:41:45,170 --> 00:41:47,330
sin we've got in our heart and kind

1043
00:41:47,330 --> 00:41:48,610
of see some other people that we can

1044
00:41:48,610 --> 00:41:49,510
help and be a blessing to.

1045
00:41:49,550 --> 00:41:50,970
Let's let our light shine and love one

1046
00:41:50,970 --> 00:41:51,450
another, right?

1047
00:41:52,190 --> 00:41:54,230
If there's anything wrong, you don't have to

1048
00:41:54,230 --> 00:41:55,310
compromise, do you?

1049
00:41:56,470 --> 00:41:57,850
Let the Spirit of God say, I don't

1050
00:41:57,850 --> 00:41:59,130
have advice for people.

1051
00:42:00,010 --> 00:42:01,390
People come up and say, I've got this

1052
00:42:01,390 --> 00:42:03,430
situation, I've got this situation, I've got this,

1053
00:42:03,470 --> 00:42:04,270
and I say, I want to tell you

1054
00:42:04,270 --> 00:42:04,490
something.

1055
00:42:05,310 --> 00:42:07,810
My friend, I can be very presumptuous if

1056
00:42:07,810 --> 00:42:08,850
I go past the Word of God.

1057
00:42:08,910 --> 00:42:09,930
I can know a part and you can

1058
00:42:09,930 --> 00:42:11,190
come and hear my part, and we're used

1059
00:42:11,190 --> 00:42:12,770
to somebody having a part and knowing everything.

1060
00:42:13,010 --> 00:42:13,890
Well, I don't know everything.

1061
00:42:15,190 --> 00:42:17,090
And I'm not going to tell anybody any

1062
00:42:17,090 --> 00:42:21,350
more than what, if consciously, than what the

1063
00:42:21,350 --> 00:42:23,790
Word teaches me.

1064
00:42:23,850 --> 00:42:24,630
But I'm going to tell you something.

1065
00:42:24,730 --> 00:42:26,630
There's a mighty move of God today, folks.

1066
00:42:28,230 --> 00:42:29,510
And I'm going to tell you what this

1067
00:42:29,510 --> 00:42:30,850
move of God is going to be.

1068
00:42:30,910 --> 00:42:32,230
You're going to be persecuted, folks.

1069
00:42:32,910 --> 00:42:33,670
Let me tell you something.

1070
00:42:33,750 --> 00:42:34,330
So what?

1071
00:42:35,470 --> 00:42:36,190
So what?

1072
00:42:37,470 --> 00:42:38,610
Let me ask you something.

1073
00:42:39,910 --> 00:42:41,990
If you know what you know, what you

1074
00:42:41,990 --> 00:42:44,450
know, if you know that you've got annoying,

1075
00:42:44,710 --> 00:42:51,720
you're watching people's lives change, you know that

1076
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:56,220
you're learning and you know that you're pleasing

1077
00:42:56,220 --> 00:42:56,480
the Lord.

1078
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,080
Now, who do you really want to please

1079
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:58,480
in your heart?

1080
00:42:58,540 --> 00:42:59,460
Do you want to please God or do

1081
00:42:59,460 --> 00:43:00,140
you want to please folks?

1082
00:43:02,660 --> 00:43:04,240
Well, I'm going to tell you some things,

1083
00:43:04,380 --> 00:43:05,900
talk to you, and come and talk to

1084
00:43:05,900 --> 00:43:08,160
you to get your heart to go to

1085
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:09,480
please other things besides God.

1086
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:10,780
I'm going to tell you, God is the

1087
00:43:10,780 --> 00:43:12,240
number one person you want to please.

1088
00:43:15,050 --> 00:43:16,610
Now, these are some, I'm just kind of

1089
00:43:16,610 --> 00:43:17,890
mentioning some of these things as we're going

1090
00:43:17,890 --> 00:43:19,130
along talking about the power of the Lord,

1091
00:43:19,210 --> 00:43:20,830
because I'm going to tell you, as I

1092
00:43:20,830 --> 00:43:22,490
mention, the Lord's going to quicken some of

1093
00:43:22,490 --> 00:43:22,790
these things.

1094
00:43:22,850 --> 00:43:24,230
He's going to show you if you'll let

1095
00:43:24,230 --> 00:43:24,330
Him.

1096
00:43:24,390 --> 00:43:25,710
I mention so He can just talk to

1097
00:43:25,710 --> 00:43:26,190
you about them.

1098
00:43:26,930 --> 00:43:28,210
Now, you don't let your heart go to

1099
00:43:28,210 --> 00:43:28,590
folks.

1100
00:43:29,110 --> 00:43:31,770
You don't let your heart go to organization,

1101
00:43:32,010 --> 00:43:32,730
go to denomination.

1102
00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:34,170
Let me tell you where headquarters is.

1103
00:43:34,210 --> 00:43:34,710
It's in heaven.

1104
00:43:47,260 --> 00:43:48,420
I'm not saying that unkindly.

1105
00:43:52,710 --> 00:43:53,990
I just know it's a curse.

1106
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,340
It's not Jesus plus the sign in the

1107
00:43:58,340 --> 00:43:58,560
yard.

1108
00:44:00,620 --> 00:44:02,040
It's not Jesus plus anything.

1109
00:44:04,470 --> 00:44:05,650
It's all Jesus.

1110
00:44:06,770 --> 00:44:08,090
It's all grace.

1111
00:44:08,690 --> 00:44:09,730
It's all Him.

1112
00:44:09,810 --> 00:44:13,550
If there was a man as zero, he

1113
00:44:13,570 --> 00:44:15,050
would be a sinner, except for Jesus working

1114
00:44:15,050 --> 00:44:16,790
through him, everything else burns up.

1115
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:20,960
That doesn't set you free.

1116
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:21,980
Does that get you a little freer?

1117
00:44:23,820 --> 00:44:25,120
Get free from folks.

1118
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:26,980
Demons and folks have been around this long

1119
00:44:26,980 --> 00:44:27,320
enough.

1120
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,880
Now, Mark 7.

1121
00:44:54,310 --> 00:44:55,010
Mark 7.

1122
00:44:56,430 --> 00:44:59,330
Now, what about a person who loves his

1123
00:44:59,330 --> 00:44:59,830
traditions?

1124
00:45:02,250 --> 00:45:07,210
Folks, do you ever understand why there are

1125
00:45:07,210 --> 00:45:08,370
always so many labels?

1126
00:45:11,620 --> 00:45:15,280
You know if he can get conservative and

1127
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,600
this over here, liberal, and this over here,

1128
00:45:18,740 --> 00:45:22,020
and here, a demon behind every bush, he's

1129
00:45:22,020 --> 00:45:29,260
gone charismatic, he's all these things.

1130
00:45:29,340 --> 00:45:30,860
Now, you see, if the enemy can get

1131
00:45:30,860 --> 00:45:34,880
these labels going back and forth, then, see,

1132
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:39,980
you get programmed to reject truth before you

1133
00:45:39,980 --> 00:45:41,120
examine it.

1134
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,780
What is it that causes you to reject

1135
00:45:46,780 --> 00:45:48,620
people you've only heard of?

1136
00:45:49,780 --> 00:45:51,340
You don't know anything about them.

1137
00:45:51,340 --> 00:45:52,120
You've just heard about them.

1138
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:52,920
Where's that come from?

1139
00:45:53,300 --> 00:45:56,100
You reject truth before you've even examined it.

1140
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:57,080
Where's that come from?

1141
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:03,520
See, you know how you reject it?

1142
00:46:03,780 --> 00:46:06,460
Because you are made fearful.

1143
00:46:08,820 --> 00:46:09,660
So you reject the truth and you reject

1144
00:46:09,660 --> 00:46:11,400
the spirit of fear, because the devil, he

1145
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,040
gives you all kinds of fearful things.

1146
00:46:14,700 --> 00:46:17,100
And this is what the shepherds, the shepherds

1147
00:46:17,100 --> 00:46:18,100
are going, Boy, I'm telling you, what?

1148
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,020
Boy, I'm telling you, it's a new day,

1149
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,300
as the Lord is opening up this thing

1150
00:46:24,300 --> 00:46:26,360
and showing shepherds, and shepherds that just had

1151
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,480
their ears beat off of them, who just

1152
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:29,900
love the Lord with all their heart.

1153
00:46:31,300 --> 00:46:33,540
And God, in His grace, is showing them

1154
00:46:33,540 --> 00:46:40,830
how the enemy that demons are attacking them.

1155
00:46:40,910 --> 00:46:41,810
I'm going to share a few things here

1156
00:46:41,810 --> 00:46:42,650
before this is over with.

1157
00:46:44,590 --> 00:46:46,350
I'm going to show them how you attack

1158
00:46:46,350 --> 00:46:46,830
shepherds.

1159
00:46:49,190 --> 00:46:50,670
Shepherds are leaving churches today.

1160
00:46:50,790 --> 00:46:52,570
Pastors are leaving churches like never before.

1161
00:46:55,410 --> 00:46:57,210
You shepherds don't usually stay in a church

1162
00:46:57,210 --> 00:46:57,870
over three years.

1163
00:46:57,970 --> 00:46:58,630
You get run off.

1164
00:47:03,030 --> 00:47:05,070
You usually get run off by lost folks,

1165
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:11,900
church bosses that demons have raised up.

1166
00:47:13,420 --> 00:47:14,860
You know what you do, Pastor, when you

1167
00:47:14,860 --> 00:47:15,080
leave?

1168
00:47:16,780 --> 00:47:18,000
You run off and leave a sheep.

1169
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,080
It's a little system of powers of darkness

1170
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:21,620
that work down.

1171
00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:24,340
Let me just go ahead and talk about

1172
00:47:24,340 --> 00:47:24,800
it a little bit.

1173
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:25,760
Since I mentioned it, I might as well

1174
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:26,680
talk about it a little bit.

1175
00:47:28,860 --> 00:47:29,840
You're a determined shepherd.

1176
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,740
The next church I go to is not

1177
00:47:36,740 --> 00:47:37,580
going to be like this one.

1178
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:39,800
Traditions and things kind of beat you down

1179
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,900
where you really have a shepherd's heart, where

1180
00:47:42,900 --> 00:47:46,840
you can't really do the things that you

1181
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,460
know in your heart you want to do.

1182
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:56,020
And it's a very defeating, frustrating thing for

1183
00:47:56,020 --> 00:48:05,000
a precious shepherd and its traditions today.

1184
00:48:05,220 --> 00:48:06,740
So the powers of darkness who have been

1185
00:48:06,740 --> 00:48:07,960
ignored, what do you think they've been doing?

1186
00:48:08,020 --> 00:48:09,120
They've been setting up a system.

1187
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:14,520
And then you go into this church situation

1188
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:15,300
and you are determined.

1189
00:48:16,140 --> 00:48:17,300
You've learned some things.

1190
00:48:17,720 --> 00:48:18,680
Things are going to be different.

1191
00:48:21,100 --> 00:48:22,680
We're going to do some things in this

1192
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:23,380
world that's next.

1193
00:48:23,820 --> 00:48:29,960
And you go in there and you get

1194
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,680
up and you know this verse right here

1195
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:39,000
is just going to smack against little traditions.

1196
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,820
You know when you get to a place

1197
00:48:41,820 --> 00:48:43,860
and right there as you do it, let

1198
00:48:43,860 --> 00:48:44,760
me show you what happens to you.

1199
00:48:45,340 --> 00:48:47,300
The demons know the one they've got set

1200
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:48,900
up that can intimidate you and make you

1201
00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:49,460
the most fearful.

1202
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,320
Now let me tell you what happens to

1203
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:53,920
you, Pastor, and you're just going to shake

1204
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,060
your head because you're going to remember it

1205
00:48:55,060 --> 00:48:55,460
over and over.

1206
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,960
You can stand there and you can be

1207
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:00,640
looking in that direction right over there.

1208
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,580
And as you come to this place and

1209
00:49:04,580 --> 00:49:06,060
you say that word right there, as you

1210
00:49:06,060 --> 00:49:09,120
start to do it, as you're fixing to

1211
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,260
read that verse right there, there are thoughts

1212
00:49:11,260 --> 00:49:12,220
coming to your mind.

1213
00:49:12,620 --> 00:49:16,260
You're not even looking right over there at

1214
00:49:16,260 --> 00:49:24,210
this loud-mouthed boss deacon, but you know

1215
00:49:24,210 --> 00:49:25,630
right there in your mind as you're looking

1216
00:49:25,630 --> 00:49:26,790
right over here and you do this, you're

1217
00:49:26,790 --> 00:49:29,690
being brought to mind thoughts are there and

1218
00:49:29,690 --> 00:49:31,450
you're just getting a picture of him just

1219
00:49:31,450 --> 00:49:31,810
looking at you.

1220
00:49:31,850 --> 00:49:33,210
It's like a water hose coming at you.

1221
00:49:33,450 --> 00:49:34,870
You hear me, aren't you, Shepherds?

1222
00:49:34,870 --> 00:49:37,810
It's like a water hose of intimidation coming

1223
00:49:37,810 --> 00:49:38,210
at you.

1224
00:49:38,570 --> 00:49:40,630
And this thoughts right there just add a

1225
00:49:40,630 --> 00:49:41,630
little water to it here.

1226
00:49:41,910 --> 00:49:45,630
You know, you don't have to be too

1227
00:49:45,630 --> 00:49:46,190
hard on it.

1228
00:49:47,750 --> 00:49:49,470
But then you go ahead and you proclaim

1229
00:49:49,470 --> 00:49:49,890
the word.

1230
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,000
And while you're doing it, you're being attacked

1231
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,540
by fear right in the pulpit.

1232
00:49:57,020 --> 00:49:59,740
You're being attacked by fear and intimidation.

1233
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,080
You're being attacked by demons.

1234
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,060
And it gets pretty quiet in there while

1235
00:50:10,060 --> 00:50:10,480
you're preaching.

1236
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,200
But you know, you've decided that that congregation

1237
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:19,000
is going to be the Lord's glory and

1238
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:19,760
you want to please the Lord.

1239
00:50:20,780 --> 00:50:22,060
And here he comes.

1240
00:50:23,540 --> 00:50:26,360
He comes up, either that loud-mouthed woman

1241
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,660
or that loud-mouthed man that that demon's

1242
00:50:28,660 --> 00:50:30,760
manifested in right there, controlling him.

1243
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,360
They come right up to you and get

1244
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:34,260
right in your face.

1245
00:50:34,260 --> 00:50:39,630
Pastor, I know him.

1246
00:50:41,010 --> 00:50:42,910
It's just like you moved in his bedroom

1247
00:50:42,910 --> 00:50:43,290
or something.

1248
00:50:43,430 --> 00:50:44,390
You know, he owns a place.

1249
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:48,380
See, he's big time.

1250
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:49,780
He's given so much money for God.

1251
00:50:49,820 --> 00:50:51,000
He's helped God out so much.

1252
00:50:54,050 --> 00:50:55,570
It's just like you moved in his house,

1253
00:50:55,650 --> 00:50:55,850
Shepherd.

1254
00:50:58,320 --> 00:50:59,500
He's got a lot of confidence.

1255
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:05,460
He's a church boss.

1256
00:51:08,490 --> 00:51:11,070
The demons have told him what a wonderful

1257
00:51:11,070 --> 00:51:13,050
job he does helping God out in that

1258
00:51:13,050 --> 00:51:13,750
social work.

1259
00:51:16,780 --> 00:51:19,480
Pastor, these people are not going to stand

1260
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:20,040
still for that.

1261
00:51:20,060 --> 00:51:20,540
I know them.

1262
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,420
Pastor, what you better do is you better

1263
00:51:25,420 --> 00:51:26,660
back off a little on that.

1264
00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:28,960
We'll have to get a new leader.

1265
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:29,920
We're going back to Egypt.

1266
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:40,240
Now, Shepherd, this is going to set you

1267
00:51:40,240 --> 00:51:40,440
free.

1268
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,240
When he comes up to you, you see

1269
00:51:46,240 --> 00:51:47,920
him coming, and immediately when you make eye

1270
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,360
contact with him, the power of any word

1271
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,360
in this Bible right here, that's the same

1272
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:52,600
thing.

1273
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,300
They attack you with lust thoughts.

1274
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:54,780
It's the same.

1275
00:51:54,860 --> 00:51:55,800
You make eye contact.

1276
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:57,840
When you make eye contact with that man

1277
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:58,760
right there, they began.

1278
00:51:58,940 --> 00:52:00,440
See, I've already put the intimidating thoughts.

1279
00:52:00,500 --> 00:52:01,920
I've already set the stage for you.

1280
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:09,700
So here comes the manifestations of demons to

1281
00:52:09,700 --> 00:52:12,980
a man, and as he's talking to you,

1282
00:52:15,300 --> 00:52:17,500
he really thinks in his heart he's helping

1283
00:52:17,500 --> 00:52:18,020
God out.

1284
00:52:19,340 --> 00:52:19,900
He deceived.

1285
00:52:23,310 --> 00:52:27,630
As he is attacking you there, you're being

1286
00:52:27,630 --> 00:52:29,990
attacked by whatever demon of fear in the

1287
00:52:29,990 --> 00:52:30,310
house.

1288
00:52:31,050 --> 00:52:32,090
They're all over you right in here.

1289
00:52:33,050 --> 00:52:34,970
They're all outside just attacking you.

1290
00:52:35,150 --> 00:52:36,590
You know, that same ones attack you when

1291
00:52:36,590 --> 00:52:37,410
you don't want to give up and give

1292
00:52:37,410 --> 00:52:39,190
the testimony or start getting a little free,

1293
00:52:39,750 --> 00:52:40,490
something like that.

1294
00:52:40,550 --> 00:52:41,450
They keep you under bondage.

1295
00:52:41,490 --> 00:52:42,630
You know, you start getting free, you get

1296
00:52:42,630 --> 00:52:43,050
dangerous.

1297
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:47,580
And they attack you with fear.

1298
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:49,880
Freedom spreads.

1299
00:52:54,050 --> 00:52:55,950
So while you're there, Pastor, and you're talking

1300
00:52:55,950 --> 00:52:57,610
about to this man right here, this church

1301
00:52:57,610 --> 00:52:59,830
boss, all these demons of fear are attacking

1302
00:52:59,830 --> 00:53:00,090
you.

1303
00:53:00,190 --> 00:53:01,370
And here's the kind of thoughts they're putting

1304
00:53:01,370 --> 00:53:01,830
in your mind.

1305
00:53:01,930 --> 00:53:04,090
One thought, just bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

1306
00:53:04,310 --> 00:53:05,390
There goes the parsonage.

1307
00:53:07,590 --> 00:53:07,950
Seriously.

1308
00:53:09,370 --> 00:53:09,970
There it goes.

1309
00:53:10,050 --> 00:53:11,170
I can't get a job anywhere.

1310
00:53:12,330 --> 00:53:13,730
They'll be mad at me at headquarters.

1311
00:53:15,870 --> 00:53:17,450
I'll have to take the children out of

1312
00:53:17,450 --> 00:53:17,730
college.

1313
00:53:17,890 --> 00:53:19,350
And they're just bombarding your mind.

1314
00:53:19,430 --> 00:53:21,710
Just bang, bang, bang, bang.

1315
00:53:21,730 --> 00:53:23,250
And you're just beaten, you know, just.

1316
00:53:24,110 --> 00:53:25,690
And you're moving out of grace and getting

1317
00:53:25,690 --> 00:53:26,290
out of the law.

1318
00:53:29,690 --> 00:53:31,430
