1 00:00:01,180 --> 00:00:01,740 1. 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,080 We will be reading from verse 24 to 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:07,820 verse 29. 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,620 Now I rejoice in what was a struggle 5 00:00:18,620 --> 00:00:21,180 for you, and I fill up in my 6 00:00:21,180 --> 00:00:23,420 flesh what is still lacking in regard to 7 00:00:23,420 --> 00:00:26,080 Christ's affliction for the sake of His Body, 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:27,360 which is the Church. 9 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,080 2. 10 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,580 I have become His servant by the commission 11 00:00:30,580 --> 00:00:34,200 God gave me to present to you the 12 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,040 Word of God in His fullness, the mystery 13 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,260 that has kept hidden for ages and generations, 14 00:00:40,860 --> 00:00:42,600 but is now disclosed to the saints. 15 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,320 3. 16 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,620 To them God has chosen to make known 17 00:00:45,620 --> 00:00:48,900 among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this 18 00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:51,060 mystery, which is Christ in you. 19 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:51,620 4. 20 00:00:51,620 --> 00:00:54,740 To hope of glory, we proclaim Him, admonishing 21 00:00:54,740 --> 00:00:58,360 and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that 22 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,440 we may present everyone perfect in Christ. 23 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:02,340 5. 24 00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:05,460 To this end, I labour, struggling with all 25 00:01:05,460 --> 00:01:09,240 His energy, which was so powerfully worked in 26 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:09,460 me. 27 00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:15,300 Now I rejoice in what was a struggle 28 00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:21,160 for you, and I fill up in my 29 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,680 flesh what is still lacking in regard to 30 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,420 Christ's affliction for the sake of His Body, 31 00:01:23,420 --> 00:01:23,520 which is the Church. 32 00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:24,680 6. 33 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,080 I have become His servant by the commission 34 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,900 God gave me to present to you the 35 00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:30,800 Word of God in His fullness, the mystery 36 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,340 that has kept hidden for ages and generations, 37 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,240 but is now disclosed to the saints. 38 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:36,440 7. 39 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,240 To them God has chosen to make known 40 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,880 among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this 41 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,480 mystery, which is Christ in you. 42 00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:45,420 8. 43 00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:50,100 To hope of glory, we proclaim Him, admonishing 44 00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:52,100 and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that 45 00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:53,120 we may present everyone perfect in Christ. 46 00:01:55,340 --> 00:01:55,940 9. 47 00:01:55,940 --> 00:01:58,400 To this end, I labour, struggling with all 48 00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,820 His energy, which was so powerfully worked in 49 00:01:59,820 --> 00:01:59,920 me. 50 00:02:02,740 --> 00:02:04,160 We thank the Lord for the reading of 51 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:04,540 His Word. 52 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,080 This morning we are glad and privileged to 53 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,680 have our brother Stephen Kong with us. 54 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:15,260 Let's pray. 55 00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:23,420 Dear Lord, we want to thank Thee for 56 00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:31,560 this privilege that we may come together in 57 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,820 Thy precious Name. 58 00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:39,720 We thank Thee for Thy precious Word. 59 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,900 We pray that Thy Holy Spirit will breathe 60 00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:52,760 upon Thy written Word and make it life 61 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,460 and spirit to us. 62 00:02:58,220 --> 00:03:03,160 We commit this time into Thy hands and 63 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:09,680 trust Thee to bless us that Thou mayst 64 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,480 be glorified. 65 00:03:12,420 --> 00:03:14,440 We ask in the Name of our Lord 66 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:14,700 Jesus. 67 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,400 Amen. 68 00:03:19,420 --> 00:03:29,420 This morning we would like to share on 69 00:03:29,420 --> 00:03:33,980 Christ in you, the hope of glory. 70 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,480 The Apostle Paul talked about a mystery. 71 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,240 He said that mystery was hidden through the 72 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,980 ages and the centuries. 73 00:04:03,140 --> 00:04:06,700 And yet that mystery has been manifested to 74 00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:09,400 us, that is, to the saints today. 75 00:04:14,660 --> 00:04:17,459 And what is that mystery? 76 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,760 That mystery is Christ in you, the hope 77 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,720 of glory. 78 00:04:29,940 --> 00:04:36,960 Christ in you, the hope of glory. 79 00:04:38,260 --> 00:04:42,540 And this mystery is the riches of the 80 00:04:42,540 --> 00:04:44,940 glory of the mystery. 81 00:04:51,740 --> 00:04:55,320 And the hope of the glory of the 82 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,600 mystery is the hope of glory. 83 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,440 Now brothers and sisters, what is a mystery? 84 00:05:10,580 --> 00:05:13,220 If we use a modern word, we can 85 00:05:13,220 --> 00:05:19,060 say it is a secret. 86 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:25,340 There in the heart of God is a 87 00:05:25,340 --> 00:05:25,740 secret. 88 00:05:25,740 --> 00:05:29,780 And this secret has been hidden in him 89 00:05:29,780 --> 00:05:32,740 through the ages and the generations. 90 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,380 Now why is it that he has hidden 91 00:05:41,380 --> 00:05:44,540 this secret in his heart for so long? 92 00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:53,500 Because it is a wonderful secret. 93 00:05:56,340 --> 00:05:58,780 It is a magnificent secret. 94 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,200 It is a glorious secret. 95 00:06:04,980 --> 00:06:07,200 Or we may say it is the top 96 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,000 secret in God's heart. 97 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,640 It is something that is very deep in 98 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,460 the heart of God. 99 00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:24,700 It is something that he desires to have 100 00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:28,240 throughout the ages and the generations. 101 00:06:33,980 --> 00:06:40,160 He is not able to reveal this secret 102 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,140 to man right away. 103 00:06:42,140 --> 00:06:49,160 He has to prepare for the time of 104 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,740 the revelation of that top secret. 105 00:06:57,660 --> 00:07:00,440 So we find that throughout the ages and 106 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:07,940 the centuries, that is when you read the 107 00:07:07,940 --> 00:07:13,240 Old Testament, you find that God has been 108 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,680 preparing for the day to reveal that secret. 109 00:07:21,820 --> 00:07:25,180 Until the fullness of time has come. 110 00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:31,160 Then he reveals that secret to the saints 111 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,960 through the prophets and the apostles. 112 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,880 So today this is an open secret. 113 00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:50,600 To us it is a secret that has 114 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,100 been opened up to us. 115 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,940 Now what is that secret? 116 00:07:59,740 --> 00:08:01,020 What is that mystery? 117 00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:07,080 That mystery is Christ gives you the hope 118 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,080 of the Lord. 119 00:08:13,260 --> 00:08:15,580 You remember the apostle Paul. 120 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:23,160 He said in Galatians chapter 1 that it 121 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,160 pleased God to reveal his son in me. 122 00:08:31,799 --> 00:08:35,020 We find that on the road to Damascus, 123 00:08:37,860 --> 00:08:41,940 the Risen Lord appeared to Saul. 124 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,980 But it is more than something that appeared 125 00:08:47,980 --> 00:08:48,780 to him. 126 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,720 Because at the time of his appearing to 127 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:04,200 Saul, by the Spirit of God actually Christ 128 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,860 is revealed in him. 129 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:20,320 Not only appeared to him, but revealed in 130 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:20,720 him. 131 00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:24,700 We know that there is a great difference 132 00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:27,040 between to and in. 133 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:37,200 Because if he just appeared to him, it 134 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,000 may be something external. 135 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,320 But to be in him, that is an 136 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,920 inward experience. 137 00:09:49,860 --> 00:09:53,160 So here the Bible says Christ is in 138 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:53,540 you. 139 00:09:56,700 --> 00:10:00,660 Not only to you, but he is in 140 00:10:00,660 --> 00:10:01,000 you. 141 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,400 And that is the hope of glory. 142 00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:13,080 Now brothers and sisters, I remember Andrew Murray 143 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:22,700 once said, he said salvation is not just 144 00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:26,500 having our sins forgiven and going to heaven. 145 00:10:32,060 --> 00:10:36,940 You know to common people, we generally think 146 00:10:36,940 --> 00:10:45,140 of salvation as having our sins forgiven and 147 00:10:45,140 --> 00:10:46,180 going to heaven. 148 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,920 Now of course this is great. 149 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,540 So far as we are concerned, if we 150 00:10:55,540 --> 00:11:00,080 can have our sins forgiven, that is a 151 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,560 tremendous thing to us. 152 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,240 And if we will be going to heaven, 153 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,180 that is a great hope to us. 154 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,980 But if you read the Bible very carefully, 155 00:11:14,980 --> 00:11:20,520 you find that salvation is more than just 156 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,060 having our sins forgiven. 157 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,940 It is more than just going to heaven. 158 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:41,620 Salvation is summed up in this, Christ 159 00:11:41,620 --> 00:11:44,780 in you and you in Christ. 160 00:11:49,980 --> 00:11:54,760 Christ is given to you that he may 161 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:55,920 be given. 162 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,800 This is the beginning and the end of 163 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,020 salvation. 164 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,380 This is for salvation. 165 00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:15,660 That is what Andrew Murray said. 166 00:12:18,820 --> 00:12:25,220 And this is what the Bible tells us. 167 00:12:25,260 --> 00:12:31,420 So salvation is Christ in you. 168 00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:32,540 You in Christ. 169 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,240 And Christ in you. 170 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,700 That is full salvation. 171 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,200 Now brothers and sisters, sometimes we find it 172 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,720 is very difficult to understand it. 173 00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:55,540 You know when our Lord was on earth, 174 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,780 he was with his disciples and towards the 175 00:13:02,780 --> 00:13:04,820 end of his time with them. 176 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,560 You remember in John chapter 14, our Lord 177 00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:16,700 Jesus was ready to leave his disciples. 178 00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:21,540 He was going back to heaven. 179 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,780 And because of this the disciples were very 180 00:13:25,780 --> 00:13:29,060 sorrowful. 181 00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:32,760 And you remember Philip asked the Lord a 182 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:33,440 question. 183 00:13:36,580 --> 00:13:38,880 Philip said now if you will show us 184 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:39,360 the Father. 185 00:13:42,860 --> 00:13:44,580 Then we will be satisfied. 186 00:13:46,780 --> 00:13:48,500 And you remember what the Lord said to 187 00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:48,680 him. 188 00:13:50,540 --> 00:13:53,780 The Lord said Philip, I have been with 189 00:13:53,780 --> 00:13:57,320 you for so long. 190 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,320 And you still do not know me. 191 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,240 Do you not know that if you know 192 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,680 me you know my Father. 193 00:14:07,940 --> 00:14:10,400 Do you not know that I am in 194 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,000 the Father and the Father is in me. 195 00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:19,700 But to Philip it was hard to understand. 196 00:14:22,140 --> 00:14:23,960 Not only to Philip but to all the 197 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:24,440 disciples. 198 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,320 They could understand Christ was with them. 199 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,720 And Christ stood by them. 200 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,040 He was alongside with them. 201 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,600 But they could not understand how can one 202 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,580 person be another person. 203 00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:53,400 You know when our Lord Jesus was on 204 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:53,720 earth. 205 00:14:56,300 --> 00:14:57,940 The Word became flesh. 206 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,160 He is God. 207 00:15:02,460 --> 00:15:05,280 And yet he took upon himself a human 208 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:05,660 flesh. 209 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,920 And while he was in the days of 210 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:10,500 his flesh. 211 00:15:13,380 --> 00:15:15,860 He could only be by the side of 212 00:15:15,860 --> 00:15:16,660 his disciples. 213 00:15:19,380 --> 00:15:21,400 That is as close as he could be 214 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,320 with his disciples. 215 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,360 He was not able to be in his 216 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:27,840 disciples. 217 00:15:30,060 --> 00:15:32,200 Nor his disciples be in him. 218 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,340 It is impossible. 219 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,340 Therefore to our human concept. 220 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,400 When our Lord Jesus said I am in 221 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,900 the Father and the Father is in me. 222 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,400 His disciples just could not understand how could 223 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:52,800 it be. 224 00:15:56,660 --> 00:15:59,740 And I think probably the same thing is 225 00:15:59,740 --> 00:16:00,760 true with us today. 226 00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:06,020 And yet in the same chapter. 227 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,520 In John chapter 14. 228 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,900 If you turn to verse 20. 229 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,780 And the Lord Jesus said. 230 00:16:17,970 --> 00:16:19,860 Chapter 14 verse 20. 231 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,040 In that day. 232 00:16:25,460 --> 00:16:26,560 You shall know. 233 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,700 That I am in my Father. 234 00:16:29,180 --> 00:16:30,500 And he in me. 235 00:16:30,820 --> 00:16:32,360 And I in you. 236 00:16:38,380 --> 00:16:39,200 In other words. 237 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,480 The Lord knew. 238 00:16:42,140 --> 00:16:46,020 That Philip and the other disciples could not 239 00:16:46,020 --> 00:16:46,760 understand. 240 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,080 How could the Father be in him. 241 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,180 And he be in the Father. 242 00:16:58,780 --> 00:16:59,880 But the Lord said. 243 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:01,780 One day. 244 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,280 On that day. 245 00:17:06,619 --> 00:17:07,579 You shall know. 246 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,200 Not just know mentally. 247 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,079 But to know experientially. 248 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,520 You shall know. 249 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,359 That the Father is in me. 250 00:17:27,099 --> 00:17:28,460 I am in the Father. 251 00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:31,190 And more than that. 252 00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:34,080 You are in me. 253 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,360 And I am in you. 254 00:17:38,980 --> 00:17:39,740 In other words. 255 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,360 That inward relation between the Father and the 256 00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:44,680 Son. 257 00:17:48,540 --> 00:17:52,320 Will become our experience. 258 00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:57,200 As he is in the Father. 259 00:17:59,260 --> 00:18:01,660 So we are in him. 260 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,540 And he is in us. 261 00:18:07,220 --> 00:18:08,640 Now brothers and sisters. 262 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,440 Now how can this be possible? 263 00:18:13,140 --> 00:18:14,480 The Lord said. 264 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,860 On that day. 265 00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:19,440 Now if you read carefully. 266 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,360 John chapter 14 to John chapter 16. 267 00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:32,160 He mentions that day a number of times. 268 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,700 Now what is that day? 269 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,060 That day does not refer to the day 270 00:18:41,060 --> 00:18:41,420 of Pentecost. 271 00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:46,780 That day refers to the day of his 272 00:18:46,780 --> 00:18:47,440 resurrection. 273 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,940 Because on the day of his resurrection. 274 00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:57,900 You remember our Lord appeared to his disciples. 275 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,120 And he breathed into them. 276 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,540 And said receive me the Holy Spirit. 277 00:19:09,140 --> 00:19:11,100 Now brothers and sisters. 278 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:13,400 You remember. 279 00:19:14,420 --> 00:19:15,900 When God created man. 280 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,720 He formed the body of man with the 281 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:20,940 earth. 282 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,360 And then he breathed into the nostrils of 283 00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:27,060 that body. 284 00:19:30,780 --> 00:19:34,760 He breathed into them the breath of life. 285 00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:39,560 And man became a living soul. 286 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,000 Now here on the day of his resurrection. 287 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,580 He breathed into the disciples. 288 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,240 And said receive me the Holy Spirit. 289 00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:57,480 So brothers and sisters. 290 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,500 It is on the day of his resurrection. 291 00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:06,940 That we receive the Holy Spirit in us. 292 00:20:09,420 --> 00:20:11,420 You know when you believe in the Lord 293 00:20:11,420 --> 00:20:11,840 Jesus. 294 00:20:14,140 --> 00:20:15,980 You are born of the Spirit. 295 00:20:17,700 --> 00:20:19,500 Not only born of the Spirit. 296 00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:24,960 But the Spirit came into you. 297 00:20:27,220 --> 00:20:29,520 He will come into your new spirit. 298 00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:36,700 So Ezekiel chapter 36 told us. 299 00:20:36,740 --> 00:20:38,440 God said he will give us a new 300 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:38,800 spirit. 301 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,700 And that is our dead spirit. 302 00:20:47,660 --> 00:20:48,780 Dead spirit. 303 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,500 Dead in sins and transgressions. 304 00:20:55,380 --> 00:20:58,900 A spirit that was separated from God the 305 00:20:58,900 --> 00:20:59,200 Spirit. 306 00:21:02,260 --> 00:21:04,800 There was no communication with God. 307 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,660 The Holy Spirit would quicken our dead spirit. 308 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:11,260 He don't like. 309 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,480 And we have a new spirit. 310 00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:20,820 And then the Holy Spirit will come and 311 00:21:20,820 --> 00:21:22,600 dwell in our new spirit. 312 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,240 Therefore in Romans we are told. 313 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:36,840 The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit. 314 00:21:37,220 --> 00:21:38,980 That we are the children of God. 315 00:21:40,820 --> 00:21:43,200 And we cry out Abba Father. 316 00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:48,240 So dear brothers and sisters. 317 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,900 Let us remember this thing. 318 00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:54,260 When you believe in the Lord Jesus. 319 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,960 Not only your dead spirit was quickened into 320 00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:00,640 new life. 321 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,460 The Holy Spirit of God will come and 322 00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:10,880 dwell in your spirit. 323 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,620 And that is the reason why you can 324 00:22:15,620 --> 00:22:18,140 cry out to God Abba Father. 325 00:22:21,180 --> 00:22:23,280 And that is what happened on the day 326 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,240 of resurrection. 327 00:22:26,820 --> 00:22:30,140 Our Lord breathed into the disciples. 328 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,960 And said receive me the Holy Spirit. 329 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,180 So they have the indwell spirit in them. 330 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,100 Brothers and sisters. 331 00:22:45,180 --> 00:22:47,040 We who believe in the Lord Jesus. 332 00:22:49,380 --> 00:22:52,420 We all have the Holy Spirit dwelling in 333 00:22:52,420 --> 00:22:53,220 our spirit. 334 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,000 And because the Holy Spirit is the spirit 335 00:22:59,000 --> 00:22:59,680 of Christ. 336 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,800 He is the spirit of God. 337 00:23:05,020 --> 00:23:06,340 He is God. 338 00:23:07,380 --> 00:23:10,580 Therefore when the Holy Spirit dwells in us. 339 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,620 It is Christ who dwells in us. 340 00:23:16,620 --> 00:23:18,480 It is God who dwells in us. 341 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,240 So the Lord said. 342 00:23:22,140 --> 00:23:26,600 We will all come and abide with you. 343 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:35,800 Now do you know that God dwells in 344 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:36,180 you? 345 00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:38,760 Do you know that Christ is in you? 346 00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:43,060 Do you know that the Holy Spirit is 347 00:23:43,060 --> 00:23:43,600 in you? 348 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,100 Brothers and sisters. 349 00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:50,180 Often we think of salvation. 350 00:23:53,380 --> 00:23:56,020 Is just having our sins forgiven. 351 00:23:58,740 --> 00:24:02,320 And one day we will go to heaven. 352 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:03,900 Now of course this is great. 353 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,220 But what God has done is far more 354 00:24:08,220 --> 00:24:11,200 than this. 355 00:24:11,660 --> 00:24:15,660 He put Christ in us. 356 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,460 He put himself in us. 357 00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:20,480 By his Spirit. 358 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,020 You know when Christ was in the flesh. 359 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,360 He could not be in his disciples. 360 00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:32,700 Because he has the flesh. 361 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,740 But now in the Spirit. 362 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,280 He is able to be in us. 363 00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:43,560 Dear brothers and sisters. 364 00:24:44,940 --> 00:24:47,240 Our relationship with Christ Jesus. 365 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,220 Is not an external one. 366 00:24:52,820 --> 00:24:56,100 It is an inner one. 367 00:24:56,100 --> 00:24:59,760 Christ is in you. 368 00:24:59,820 --> 00:25:01,960 Do you know Christ is in you? 369 00:25:04,180 --> 00:25:05,200 Brothers and sisters. 370 00:25:06,060 --> 00:25:06,960 Ask yourself. 371 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,120 Do you know Christ is in you? 372 00:25:12,460 --> 00:25:14,520 Do you know that God dwells in you? 373 00:25:16,660 --> 00:25:18,760 Do you know the Holy Spirit is in 374 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:19,000 you? 375 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,580 Now if you will turn to 2 Corinthians. 376 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,200 Chapter 13. 377 00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:29,020 Verse 5. 378 00:25:31,020 --> 00:25:32,140 2 Corinthians. 379 00:25:32,700 --> 00:25:33,820 Chapter 13. 380 00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:37,520 Verse 5. 381 00:25:40,420 --> 00:25:42,300 Examine your own self. 382 00:25:42,860 --> 00:25:44,900 If you have been in the faith. 383 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,220 Prove your own self. 384 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,460 Do you not recognize yourself. 385 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:56,560 That Christ. 386 00:25:56,980 --> 00:25:57,880 Jesus Christ. 387 00:25:58,380 --> 00:25:59,480 Is in you. 388 00:26:04,460 --> 00:26:05,300 Unless indeed. 389 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,240 We be reprobate. 390 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,300 We need to examine ourselves. 391 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,500 To see if we are in the faith. 392 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,220 Now you say you believe in the Lord. 393 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,440 Jesus. 394 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:24,980 Alright. 395 00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:26,500 Examine yourself. 396 00:26:28,140 --> 00:26:30,520 Now how do you examine yourself. 397 00:26:30,780 --> 00:26:32,500 Whether you are in the faith. 398 00:26:35,780 --> 00:26:37,060 Prove your own self. 399 00:26:38,660 --> 00:26:39,540 Do you know. 400 00:26:39,820 --> 00:26:40,820 Do you recognize. 401 00:26:41,180 --> 00:26:42,520 That Jesus Christ. 402 00:26:43,060 --> 00:26:43,860 Is in you. 403 00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:50,800 This is the test. 404 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,800 This is the proof. 405 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:56,960 That you are in the faith. 406 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,000 If you do not recognize. 407 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,320 That Jesus Christ. 408 00:27:02,620 --> 00:27:03,220 Is in you. 409 00:27:06,860 --> 00:27:09,460 Then you are a reprobate. 410 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,640 You are not really. 411 00:27:16,140 --> 00:27:17,080 In the faith. 412 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,020 So it is very. 413 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,240 Very important. 414 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,120 Dear brothers and sisters. 415 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,440 You must know. 416 00:27:27,740 --> 00:27:28,740 That Jesus Christ. 417 00:27:28,940 --> 00:27:30,020 Is in you. 418 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,680 It is not just you believe. 419 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,340 On the Lord Jesus. 420 00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:45,800 It is that when you believe. 421 00:27:45,940 --> 00:27:46,800 In the Lord Jesus. 422 00:27:47,220 --> 00:27:48,640 Jesus Christ comes. 423 00:27:49,020 --> 00:27:50,920 And dwells in you. 424 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,780 This is the test. 425 00:27:58,020 --> 00:28:01,740 That we are in the faith. 426 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,340 Whether you are really. 427 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:04,460 A true believer. 428 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,820 It depends on. 429 00:28:07,940 --> 00:28:09,260 Whether Jesus Christ. 430 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,360 Is in you. 431 00:28:14,740 --> 00:28:17,140 So ask yourself this question. 432 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,520 Do you know Jesus Christ. 433 00:28:20,740 --> 00:28:21,220 Is in you. 434 00:28:23,780 --> 00:28:26,320 The living Jesus Christ. 435 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:27,240 Is in you. 436 00:28:29,620 --> 00:28:30,680 The Jesus Christ. 437 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,500 Who came into this world. 438 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:36,280 The Jesus Christ. 439 00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:38,660 Who lived 33 years upon this earth. 440 00:28:41,860 --> 00:28:42,960 The Jesus Christ. 441 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,160 Who was crucified on the cross. 442 00:28:47,580 --> 00:28:48,520 The Jesus Christ. 443 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,260 Who was buried for 3 days. 444 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,520 The Jesus Christ. 445 00:28:55,820 --> 00:28:57,360 Who was risen from the dead. 446 00:28:59,420 --> 00:29:00,400 The Jesus Christ. 447 00:29:00,580 --> 00:29:02,400 Who ascended to heaven. 448 00:29:04,100 --> 00:29:06,420 Who sits at the right hand of God 449 00:29:06,420 --> 00:29:06,940 the Father. 450 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,820 And one day he will come back. 451 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,640 Now this living person. 452 00:29:14,940 --> 00:29:16,560 Lives in you. 453 00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:23,580 He is in you. 454 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,100 Now do you realize that. 455 00:29:28,580 --> 00:29:33,200 Now unfortunately to many Christians. 456 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,900 Their understanding of Jesus Christ is external. 457 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,060 That he is in heaven. 458 00:29:43,340 --> 00:29:44,500 And you are on earth. 459 00:29:45,260 --> 00:29:47,640 And there is such a distance between you 460 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,160 and Christ. 461 00:29:50,620 --> 00:29:52,540 Now of course on the one hand. 462 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,340 It is true that Christ is now in 463 00:29:57,340 --> 00:29:57,700 heaven. 464 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,720 Seated by the right hand of God. 465 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:05,920 Waiting for the day. 466 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,660 When all things shall be under his feet. 467 00:30:14,620 --> 00:30:17,800 But on the other hand. 468 00:30:17,820 --> 00:30:19,840 Today by his spirit. 469 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,380 He is in you. 470 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:25,980 He lives in you. 471 00:30:27,180 --> 00:30:29,140 He is very living in you. 472 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,260 You know Christ in you is not dormant. 473 00:30:57,580 --> 00:31:01,120 He is not just live there. 474 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,320 Doing nothing. 475 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,300 As if he is shut up in a 476 00:31:09,300 --> 00:31:09,600 cockpit. 477 00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:14,940 You know Christ in you is living. 478 00:31:18,420 --> 00:31:20,070 There is a living Christ. 479 00:31:20,740 --> 00:31:22,740 Lives in you. 480 00:31:25,020 --> 00:31:27,500 And he is trying to live out his 481 00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:28,560 life through you. 482 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,960 He is very active in you. 483 00:31:36,180 --> 00:31:37,980 He talks with you. 484 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,820 He walks with you. 485 00:31:40,740 --> 00:31:42,440 He is with you all the time. 486 00:31:43,860 --> 00:31:45,780 Now do you realize that. 487 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,660 Some people ask this question. 488 00:32:00,790 --> 00:32:02,170 How do I know. 489 00:32:02,890 --> 00:32:04,930 That Christ lives in me. 490 00:32:07,410 --> 00:32:09,590 How do I know that he is in 491 00:32:09,590 --> 00:32:09,830 me. 492 00:32:12,210 --> 00:32:14,010 When did I hear him talk to me. 493 00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:17,710 You know some Christians say well. 494 00:32:18,070 --> 00:32:19,270 Christ talk to me. 495 00:32:22,110 --> 00:32:24,030 And it puzzles some other Christians. 496 00:32:26,090 --> 00:32:27,890 He said how does Christ talk to you. 497 00:32:27,890 --> 00:32:32,250 Do you hear it with your ear. 498 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:41,540 Christ talk to you by the indwell spirit. 499 00:32:45,740 --> 00:32:47,580 Now do you hear his voice. 500 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,100 You know we are so busy hearing noises 501 00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:54,640 all around us. 502 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,080 That we fail to hear the voice of 503 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,180 Christ. 504 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:08,080 When God speaks to you. 505 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,160 It is a still small voice. 506 00:33:12,300 --> 00:33:15,200 There in your spirit. 507 00:33:15,660 --> 00:33:17,520 You hear him talk to you. 508 00:33:19,860 --> 00:33:21,100 Let me illustrate. 509 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,080 Now after you believe in the Lord Jesus. 510 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,880 After you become a Christian. 511 00:33:30,180 --> 00:33:32,400 Do you not have this experience. 512 00:33:34,260 --> 00:33:37,120 Now suppose you are a very talkative person. 513 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,100 And you like to talk. 514 00:33:42,460 --> 00:33:44,860 And when you talk you usually talk out 515 00:33:44,860 --> 00:33:45,760 of control. 516 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,160 And sometimes you exaggerate. 517 00:33:53,540 --> 00:33:55,440 Sometimes you even tell lies. 518 00:33:56,740 --> 00:33:58,820 You say it is white lies not black 519 00:33:58,820 --> 00:33:59,100 lies. 520 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,840 And you are used to that. 521 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,920 Or sometimes you criticize people. 522 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,199 You judge people. 523 00:34:10,620 --> 00:34:12,040 It becomes a habit to you. 524 00:34:13,540 --> 00:34:15,159 That is what you have been doing all 525 00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:15,460 along. 526 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,500 You do not feel bad about it. 527 00:34:20,179 --> 00:34:22,199 But after you believe in the Lord Jesus. 528 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,480 Do you not have such an experience. 529 00:34:27,219 --> 00:34:28,260 When you are talking. 530 00:34:28,260 --> 00:34:31,239 And you begin to exaggerate. 531 00:34:33,020 --> 00:34:34,520 Or you begin to criticize. 532 00:34:36,219 --> 00:34:41,420 You find there is a check within you. 533 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,840 As if someone is checking you. 534 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:49,980 And say now that is enough. 535 00:34:52,500 --> 00:34:54,260 Do not talk anymore. 536 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,800 If you talk more you will sin. 537 00:34:58,260 --> 00:35:02,680 Do you have such an experience. 538 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,460 I believe you do. 539 00:35:06,860 --> 00:35:08,600 You know just like you are driving a 540 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,280 car. 541 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:11,800 And as you are driving. 542 00:35:12,980 --> 00:35:15,020 You have to brake the car. 543 00:35:17,060 --> 00:35:21,420 So you find the Holy Spirit in you. 544 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,720 He is applying the brake. 545 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:25,700 And say that is enough. 546 00:35:25,700 --> 00:35:26,280 Stop. 547 00:35:28,220 --> 00:35:29,660 Now brothers and sisters. 548 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:30,600 Listen to me. 549 00:35:30,700 --> 00:35:32,940 What is your reaction. 550 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,320 It is because you have been talking. 551 00:35:38,620 --> 00:35:41,260 And you just neglect that brake. 552 00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:45,860 And just talk off. 553 00:35:47,020 --> 00:35:48,460 But after you have done that. 554 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,640 You feel bad in your conscience. 555 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,000 You have to go to the Lord. 556 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:58,240 And confess. 557 00:36:00,620 --> 00:36:03,160 And ask the Lord to cleanse you. 558 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:04,640 With his precious blood. 559 00:36:07,740 --> 00:36:10,560 Otherwise your relationship with the Lord. 560 00:36:12,780 --> 00:36:14,220 Is interfered. 561 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,420 Now this is how the Lord is talking 562 00:36:20,420 --> 00:36:20,900 to you. 563 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,900 So Christ in you is living. 564 00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:31,600 He is talking to you. 565 00:36:31,820 --> 00:36:34,420 He is teaching you. 566 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:38,760 Now sometimes. 567 00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:43,640 When you are reading the word of God. 568 00:36:45,420 --> 00:36:48,440 Suddenly you find as if a light has 569 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:48,980 come. 570 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,840 As if light has shone upon the word 571 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:55,300 of God. 572 00:36:58,460 --> 00:37:00,480 And the word of God begins to speak 573 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,580 to you. 574 00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:03,180 You know. 575 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,120 We read the word of God. 576 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,540 But sometimes when we are reading the word. 577 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,880 All we read is just black words on 578 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:17,500 white paper. 579 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,920 And after we have read it. 580 00:37:22,020 --> 00:37:22,660 We forgot it. 581 00:37:24,860 --> 00:37:25,900 But sometimes. 582 00:37:26,940 --> 00:37:28,660 When you are reading the Bible. 583 00:37:29,940 --> 00:37:31,880 Suddenly the light shines. 584 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,360 And the word begins to speak to your 585 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,180 heart. 586 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,440 And this is how the Lord speaks to 587 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:43,680 you. 588 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,320 Brothers and sisters. 589 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,200 Christ in you. 590 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,380 Is very living. 591 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,560 And that is the reason why. 592 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,980 You find in 1 John chapter 2. 593 00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:08,140 You find that there is an anointing within 594 00:38:08,140 --> 00:38:08,780 you. 595 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,900 There is an anointing in you. 596 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,940 And that anointing will teach you in all 597 00:38:18,940 --> 00:38:21,920 things. 598 00:38:22,660 --> 00:38:25,100 And what he teaches is true and is 599 00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:25,680 not false. 600 00:38:28,620 --> 00:38:31,300 If you listen to the anointing. 601 00:38:33,620 --> 00:38:35,560 You abide in Christ. 602 00:38:37,420 --> 00:38:40,280 Now the anointing refers to the Holy Spirit. 603 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:46,600 The Holy Spirit is working in you. 604 00:38:47,420 --> 00:38:49,780 He is like an ointment. 605 00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:58,720 He will apply that ointment upon your wound. 606 00:38:59,140 --> 00:39:03,840 And there is a soothing feeling within you. 607 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,940 He is teaching you in all things. 608 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,380 And whatever he teaches is true. 609 00:39:16,580 --> 00:39:20,040 And we need to obey the teaching of 610 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:20,680 the anointing. 611 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,780 Sometimes you feel someone within you is talking 612 00:39:26,780 --> 00:39:30,000 to you. 613 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,640 He is teaching you. 614 00:39:32,660 --> 00:39:34,360 Now do you obey him? 615 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,520 Often times young Christians. 616 00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:43,720 Will come to you and ask. 617 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:46,720 Can I do this? 618 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:49,640 Can I go there? 619 00:39:51,300 --> 00:39:54,440 Tell me what God's will is. 620 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,320 You know. 621 00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:00,940 When he is asking such question. 622 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,240 If you know how to help that young 623 00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:06,080 brother or sister. 624 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:11,960 Instead of telling him outright. 625 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:13,740 You can do this. 626 00:40:13,940 --> 00:40:15,160 You shouldn't go there. 627 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,200 If you just tell him. 628 00:40:24,260 --> 00:40:26,180 Now how do you feel yourself? 629 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,040 You know when a young brother or sister 630 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,020 ask a question. 631 00:40:34,660 --> 00:40:40,620 It shows that something is bothering him. 632 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,500 And at the same time. 633 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,740 The Holy Spirit is teaching him something. 634 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,840 But he would rather ask other people. 635 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,360 Than to listen to the Holy Spirit within 636 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:56,660 him. 637 00:40:59,420 --> 00:41:01,340 Actually he already knows. 638 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:04,900 But he is trying. 639 00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:08,880 To ask people. 640 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:11,920 Now. 641 00:41:12,940 --> 00:41:14,320 When he ask a question. 642 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:17,360 Can I do this thing? 643 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,080 He already knows he couldn't do it. 644 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:23,880 But. 645 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,380 He ask a question. 646 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,340 If someone tell him you shouldn't do it. 647 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:32,840 Oh. 648 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:33,740 He says. 649 00:41:34,660 --> 00:41:38,020 I will ask another one. 650 00:41:38,180 --> 00:41:39,940 And if he ask enough people.

00:41:55,660 Because. 655 00:41:56,340 --> 00:41:58,100 The Holy Spirit within you. 656 00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,100 Has already. 657 00:42:03,060 --> 00:42:03,940 Taught. 658 00:42:05,980 -->

Is very difficult to define. 667 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:34,980 As a matter of fact. 668 00:42:36,340 --> 00:42:38,220 All the terms in the Bible. 669 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,340 Are difficult to define. 670 00:42:44,180 --> 00:42:44,800 Because. 671 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:46,340 They are beyond. 672 00:42:46,620 --> 00:42:47,690 Our human comprehension. 673 00:42:53,140 --> 00:42:54,720

00:43:04,080 We find that sometimes. 678 00:43:04,300 --> 00:43:04,820 The Bible. 679 00:43:05,380 --> 00:43:06,080 Use glory. 680 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,160 Instead of the word God. 681 00:43:12,060 --> 00:43:13,720 God and glory. 682 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:14,500 Are one. 683 00:43:16,780 --> 00:43:17,560 Glory. 684 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:18,720 Manifests. 685 00:43:19,040 -->
