  1. Lulujah, Good morning, Church. Let stand in prayer of the Word.

  2. Thought.

  3. We thank you for your touch on our lives. We

  4. thank you for the ministry of the Word in our midst.

  5. We welcome you to shake the ground of our hearts,

  6. shake the ground of our nation. I'll give you the

  7. praise for it in Jesus' name. Everybody said, Amen, you

  8. may be seated. I want to I want to start

  9. with some thoughts out of last week Isaiah nine six

  10. through seven. We talked about a government of peace for

  11. to us a child is born, to us as son

  12. is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.

  13. Everybody say, government on his shoulders, and he will be

  14. called wonderful counselor Mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

  15. Of the greatness of his government and peace, there will

  16. be no end. Remember, I prefer a different translation than

  17. the NIV which we have here. I prefer New American

  18. New King James ZESV some of these others King James

  19. even which says of the increase of his government of peace,

  20. there shall be no end. It's an increase, it's a progression.

  21. So yes, it's great, but it's increasing. He will reign

  22. on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing it and

  23. upholding it with justice and righteousness. So remember, well, last

  24. week we talked about he's reigning on two thrones. He's

  25. a king and a priest. Right, he's a king and

  26. a priest. He's reigning on two thrones. He's reigning on

  27. the throne of Melkezedic. That's his priestly ministry. He's reigning

  28. on the throne of David. That's his kingly ministry. So

  29. he's fulfilling both. Everybody say both with me. This morning,

  30. he will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom,

  31. establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness. From that

  32. time on and forever, the zeal of the Lord Almighty

  33. will accomplish this. The zeal of the Lord in you,

  34. the zeal of the Lord and you. It's the zeal

  35. of the Lord and you. It's not just the zeal

  36. of the Lord in some ambiguous arena. It's not just

  37. the zeal of the Lord somewhere out there in outer space.

  38. The zeal of the Lord's been loosed in you. You

  39. are the partner of God in government, not just the

  40. partner of God in churches and priestly ministry SAMN. So

  41. what we talked about last week a little bit is

  42. that God is working to bring forth a government of peace,

  43. a government that is on the shoulders of Jesus in

  44. and through the hearts of all of those who trust

  45. in Jesus.

  46. Meaning then we.

  47. All have to shoulder government, we all have to embrace government,

  48. we all have to be involved in government. And that's

  49. what made this nation great in the beginning, and in

  50. the first place, what made this nation great was the

  51. vision that the forefathers had that government would be representative

  52. of the people. So the church would carry the priestly,

  53. the government would carry the three branches. Out of Isaiah

  54. thirty three twenty two, the government would carry the judicial,

  55. the legislative, and the executive. Thank you, legislative is the law.

  56. So I want to go over. Let me read that

  57. one to you. But I don't know if you knew

  58. some of this stuff, right, but I'm supposing you probably didn't.

  59. I'm just making you happy reminding you of what you

  60. alread knew because your genius is But Isaiah thirty three

  61. twenty two, for the Lord is our judge, the Lord

  62. is our lawgiver. Or law maker. The Lord is our king,

  63. he will save us. This scripture was the inspiration of

  64. the founding fathers for the three benches of government. The

  65. Lord is no Now you got to recognize the Lord

  66. is our judge, The Lord is our lawgiver, The Lord

  67. is our king. You got to recognize. This is governments

  68. flowing out of the Lord. They understood that, they thought

  69. they had a vision of that. They discerned that a

  70. nation that would stand would have to be built on

  71. not man made laws, but built on the government that

  72. is the Lord. So even this, you know this passage.

  73. I told you last week. I tormented you. I told

  74. you last week that the government shall be upon his shoulders.

  75. The fulfillment of that means that those who are his

  76. shoulder government. It also means some other things, though, I mean,

  77. there's some other stuff that it means, and I think

  78. this is important. It means that the government will be

  79. upon his word, The government will be upon his stature,

  80. the government will be upon his character, the government will

  81. be upon his truth, The government will be upon his law,

  82. his commandments. Right, So this is this is it's interesting

  83. and it's interesting to note that the priestly ministry is

  84. also upon his stature, we're called the priestly ministry is

  85. called to grow up into the fullness of the stature.

  86. This is Ephesian chapter four.

  87. That Jesus, and you'll also notice the priestly ministry, though

  88. it belongs to him, he's the high priest. Guess what

  89. he's done. He's distributed to us. He even said in

  90. John twenty through twenty twenty through twenty two, he said

  91. he breathed on them, and he said, who's ever's sins

  92. you forgive?

  93. They are forgiven.

  94. He was releasing priestly ministry to us. The authority to

  95. represent him in bringing people to the cross and announcing

  96. their sins forgiven was given to the church the Ecclesea.

  97. And so the priestly ministry has been distributed to us,

  98. but also the kingly ministry. And he distributed the priestly ministry.

  99. And he said, I'm giving five offices to the church,

  100. and he names an apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher, evangelist.

  101. I'm testing you.

  102. Ephesians four eight through eleven. And then he says, and

  103. these offices will remain to equip the body of Christ

  104. into the word is Doma, into the word ministry. They'll

  105. equip the body of Christ into the fullness in ministry,

  106. into the fullness of the stature of the faith that

  107. belongs to the Sun. So we're growing up into the

  108. stature of Him. And this is what it is for

  109. us to carry the ministry. We shoulder the ministry of

  110. Jesus in the priestly realm. And we've done a pretty

  111. good job with that. We've done a fairly good job.

  112. The church has done a fairly good job of that.

  113. The church could do better. Could the church do better?

  114. Could you do better than the church could do better? Okay,

  115. So but we've got this and we're running after it

  116. and we want to do better.

  117. Right.

  118. But we also he's trying to tell us we also

  119. shoulder government. That the government is on his shoulders. And

  120. he carries three roles, like three offices in government, like

  121. he carries five offices in the priestly ministry.

  122. He is.

  123. He carries the role of judge, he carries the role

  124. of lawgiver, he carries the role of king. This is

  125. and these also are fleshed out through us whose shoulder

  126. government with him because we've embraced it, because we aren't

  127. only representatives of him in his priestly ministry. We are

  128. representacive of Him in his kingly ministry. So Revelation one six,

  129. we are a kingdom of priests and kings. He has

  130. made us a kingdom of priests and kings, that we

  131. would not only bring heaven to earth like the dispensing

  132. of salvation and healing and righteousness, but we would also

  133. bring the government of heaven to earth with justice and

  134. righteousness and truth.

  135. We bring both.

  136. And I tormented you a little last week by saying

  137. that we as a people, we have shirked the kingly

  138. responsibility we have. We've abdicated it, We've given it away,

  139. We've let others take it, We've said we didn't want it.

  140. We didn't even recognize it as a calling over here.

  141. If I feel like I'm called to ministry, that means

  142. I'm called to preach.

  143. Whoa nellie.

  144. But if I'm called the ministry, I mean but if

  145. I'm called the government, Oh that's a bummer. I haven't

  146. even seen this as a dignified calling, a calling wherein

  147. I needed to receive an anointing, where in I'm dignified

  148. and and treated with dignity in the body of Christ.

  149. You're called the government. Oh you're called to be an attorney.

  150. You're called the law. Oh yeah, we'll talk to you later.

  151. Where's the preachers, where's the prophets? We've been all excited

  152. about the priestly side, but we haven't been excited about

  153. the kingly side. God is saying we need to wake

  154. up and be called back into and love and honor

  155. the kingly calling. Because the kingly calling is an anointed

  156. calling of Christ, just as the priestly calling. This is

  157. just as valid of a calling as the priestly calling.

  158. Anything over here to do with the priestly, any of

  159. those offices of ministry, this is just as valid, just

  160. as powerful, just as anointed, just as needful. We need

  161. to embrace this. And it means judicial, It means laws,

  162. and it means it's the third one I keep forgetting

  163. executive Brench kingly, are you hearing me? Our forefathers knew this,

  164. They knew this, They studied this when they when they

  165. came over here, they came over with prayer. They wrote

  166. up the may Mayflower Compact? Was it the may foul Compact?

  167. Help me, honey, they wrote up this Mayflower. I mean

  168. they had all this stuff right and so, and they

  169. had prayer, and they knew that the value of the

  170. laws that were resting on the word of God. So

  171. when they wrote the Constitution, when they were drafting the

  172. laws of our nation, they were mindful of the Word

  173. of God. They were thinking about the Word of God.

  174. They actually turned to and went to the civil laws

  175. of the Word of God as well as the Ten Commitments.

  176. They were looking within those laws to see, okay, because

  177. if we have these laws as the foundation of our nation,

  178. then what's going to happen is we're going to have

  179. a prospering people, and it's going to be inviting God

  180. to be present and acknowledging Him. As we do that,

  181. then God's blessing is going to be on the nation.

  182. Whether you're a believer or not, whether you have acknowledged

  183. you Jesus are not there, You're going to be under

  184. a covering of blessing because we've embraced the laws of God.

  185. This is super important.

  186. But now what we see is we see that as

  187. unrighteousness has increased, and you know, unrighteousness is not unrighteousness

  188. or the wicked. They are not a majority in the nation,

  189. but as the minority has gotten emboldened, and as they've

  190. gotten loud, and as the Church has hid its head

  191. in the auditorium, and hid its head in the sanctuary,

  192. and hid itself not in the sand, but kind of

  193. like in the sand. Right, you put your head down

  194. in the sand, and you can't see, and.

  195. You la la la la la.

  196. God is sovereign. God is sovereign, And so well, he'll

  197. just we just have more meetings here at the house.

  198. He'll just take care of all this in his sovereignty.

  199. Here's what happens. His sovereignty is meant to be fleshed

  200. out through those who walk with him. His sovereignty is

  201. fleshed out through you and me. So if you and

  202. me are not partnering with him, I do nothing unless

  203. I show the prophets. This is what the Bible says,

  204. He partners with us. Somebody else thought that it would

  205. work this way as well. Do you remember who that was?

  206. I don't know if you remember, But there was a

  207. bunch of people who were the multi inherited generations of

  208. a promise to inherit the promised land. Do you remember that?

  209. And so the time wasn't right, and it still wasn't right,

  210. and it wasn't time to go in. And one of

  211. the reasons they couldn't go in is God said through

  212. the prophets that the sin of the Amorite has not

  213. come to full maturety. And so because to go in

  214. and possess the Promised Land, they were to go in

  215. and judge the seven nations that were there. Those nations

  216. had to be judged, but their iniquity had not come

  217. to a full up yet, and so it wasn't time

  218. to go in. But there was a day when it

  219. was time to go in. There was a day when

  220. God said, all right, it's time to go in and

  221. possess the Promised Land. But there was a generation who

  222. wouldn't believe. There was a generation who where we be

  223. not able generation? There was a generation. Are you here

  224. what I'm saying. I'm talking about God's sovereignty because the church.

  225. One of the faults with the Church is we've hidden

  226. our head in the sand of God, his sovereign. So

  227. He's gonna put on the president whoever he wants in there.

  228. I don't even need to vote. He's just going to

  229. take care of everything down the county city building, no

  230. matter what.

  231. I don't even need to show up. All I need

  232. to do is go to a prayer meeting. God does

  233. these things? Is this a God? I have to my head?

  234. What is this?

  235. Maybe I'm just pointing the abbreviation of a mountain mt. Hello, somebody,

  236. we haven't been partnering with God appropriately, because what happens

  237. in sovereignty is God needs us to hear what he's saying,

  238. see what he's saying, see what he's doing, and then

  239. partner with him with appropriate expression. And that isn't just

  240. expression here in the house, but it's lifting up our

  241. lives and pouring our lives into the culture, the culture

  242. we've been convinced to abandon. But this is our nation,

  243. this is our earth, This is our earth. The earth

  244. belongs to the Lord. The meek shall inherit the So

  245. thinking about God's sovereignty, we have to stop thinking God's

  246. going to do what he wants to do all by himself.

  247. That's what the Israelite people did. And so what happened

  248. is that through their unbelief and through their small thinking

  249. and seeing that the land was full of giants, God said, oh,

  250. I can't take this generation in. Well, that's confusing. Didn't

  251. you say it's time to go in. Yeah, well, didn't

  252. you say that we should go in? Yeah, well, then

  253. why don't you take us in? Because you won't believe.

  254. So you have to partner your faith with me. If

  255. you'll partner, all of you Israelites, listen to me, If

  256. you'll partner your faith with me, then we can go in.

  257. Because you already said, these.

  258. Seven nations are stronger, greaterier, and mightier than us, and

  259. they're nations of war. So you don't have the ability

  260. to go in and whoop up on them and inherit

  261. the Promised Land on your own. The only way you're

  262. going to go in and inherit the Promised Land is

  263. if you look to me in faith and then I

  264. do the whooping while you do the merchant. That's the

  265. only way it'll work. There has to be a faith expression.

  266. So so God's sovereignty crashed and burned for a full

  267. generation until that generation died.

  268. That generation had to die off.

  269. And God said, okay, I couldn't get you generation, but I.

  270. Can get your babies.

  271. So, Joshua and Caleb, I want you to have Sunday school,

  272. Monday school, Tuesday school, Thursday school, Friday school, Saturday school,

  273. and then start with Sunday School again. Let's just teach

  274. this generation faith. We're gonna teach him how to believe God.

  275. We're gonna teach him for miracles. We're gonna teach him

  276. to partner with angels. We're gonna teach him that God,

  277. who have parted the Red Sea for their parents, can

  278. do anything. And then we're gonna raise up a generation

  279. of faith. And guess what, I can partner with them

  280. because they'll partner with me by believing. And we'll go

  281. in and even though the giants look big, we'll drive

  282. them out and dispossess them.

  283. How we gonna do it.

  284. We're gonna do it with sling shots to their tuber

  285. charged by angels. We're gonna do it with arrows that

  286. release fieries, storms of hailstones. We're gonna do it with

  287. all sorts of stuff. Don't worry about that. Just walk

  288. with me and obey. Come on, let's march. This is

  289. this is we We gotta we gotta be thinking that, yes,

  290. God is sovereign, but the miracles he wants to do

  291. in the priestly ministry and in government, these miracles they

  292. have to occur as we agree with them and partner

  293. with him and put shoe leather to what he's saying

  294. and doing and actually show up. We have to show up.

  295. We can't say, well, that's not my realm. Well he's sovereign,

  296. he'll just take care of it. Well it's not happening

  297. because he doesn't want us to well, evils increasing anyway.

  298. We that's not no, no, no, no no, we're missing it.

  299. We're missing it. If that's our attitude, and we will

  300. be like that generation, God won't be able to use

  301. this appropriately and God will have to raise up a generation.

  302. He'll be trying to do something with our kids. Hello, somebody,

  303. I was gonna make a statement there about a bunch

  304. of you needed to get pregnant, but I'll just skip

  305. that one. So this is what we're seeing now, is

  306. this massive pushback. We're seeing this, and part of why

  307. we're seeing the pushback is God has released his word

  308. of a billion soul harvest. Satan's having a fit. Secondly,

  309. we're seeing a big pushback because we've been so focused

  310. on the rapture and getting out of here that we

  311. have not occupied and been after it aggressively in a

  312. warfare means.

  313. Thirdly, because of that.

  314. Also, we've been filled with hope instead of filled with faith,

  315. I mean filled with hopelessness instead of faith. And so

  316. a hopeless army Ezequiel thirty seven is a dead army.

  317. And you know, fourthly, we've been slothful, we've been prayerless,

  318. we've been self absorbed, prosperity focus, we've been everything under

  319. the sun except for being the warfare people were supposed

  320. to be. We are called to war now it you know,

  321. right now, it's happening. I mean, if we don't wake

  322. up right now, then we're gonna lose the war for

  323. a generation because satan ainate plan. That isn't that isn't

  324. a word, but I'll just use it. Satan aint planned,

  325. Satan nate plan. Now you can, you can hit your

  326. you put your head down your video games and and

  327. you can put your little head down in the sand

  328. of churchism. You can. But I'm telling you, Satan nate plan.

  329. He wants the entire earth. He wants the people of

  330. the earth. He wants your neighbors, he wants everybody, he

  331. wants your children, he wants everybody. And he ain't planned.

  332. This is a spiritual battle. This is a spiritual war.

  333. This is spiritual fighting. This is this is the real deal. So,

  334. you know, we've seen some of the stuff happening recently. Now,

  335. some of what we've seen happening recently is because Satan

  336. knows something. This is very interesting. Satan is the man

  337. of lawlessness. Satan is the spirit of lawlessness. He's the

  338. spirit of chaos and anarchy. And what he knows is

  339. that the law draws people to God. Lawlessness pushes people

  340. away from God. Lawlessness pushes people away from God. The

  341. law draws people to God.

  342. Okay, so Satan knows that.

  343. So you can see all of these things that are

  344. going on recently before COVID, during COVID, some of this

  345. was brought to light during COVID, but the decriminalizing of

  346. criminal activity, the minimizing of crime or prison times or

  347. reduction or elimination, the sorrow's fact prosecutors and the decriminalizing

  348. that they are being, that they're expressing and their state

  349. are in their governments, the left leaning governmental leaders changing

  350. the definition of felonies and crimes in their states. All

  351. of this stuff that's going on. This is Satan working

  352. to reduce the law and to expand lawlessness. Lawlessness is

  353. what he flourishes in. And the hope in the demonic

  354. mind is that lawlessness pushes people away from God, therefore

  355. circumventing the billion soul harvest. All the while, while this

  356. is happening, Christians, we're put on our thumbs or picking

  357. our nose.

  358. We're touting in church.

  359. You know, we're doing all sorts of well, I mean,

  360. at that age you can, but I mean, you know,

  361. but I mean, you know all this, But.

  362. No, we got to wake up church, Church, We got

  363. to wake.

  364. Up Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. Then then what's happening

  365. is we got this thing going on all across the nation.

  366. We got a bunch of Christian folks saying, yeah, that's right,

  367. we shouldn't have no Christian laws. We got to push them.

  368. We can't have any Bible based laws. We're going to

  369. offend people. We're going to drive people away from the

  370. Lord if we have that stuff. I mean, we're no

  371. longer a Christian nation anyway.

  372. Who do we think we are? We got to calm down.

  373. And so we got all these Christians they're like, that's

  374. Christian nationalism. We can't force that on folk. You know,

  375. we can't be doing that. Well, we've done it for

  376. over two hundred years. It's been working fine. You got

  377. to retard gene that kicked in or something. What's going on.

  378. It's been working just fine. It's been working just fine.

  379. And so and we got all these Christian consider Well, yeah,

  380. you can't legislate morality. God's been doing it for a

  381. long time. I don't know where what planet you just

  382. arrived from. Anyway, Listen, it's not Christians legislating morality anyway.

  383. All we're doing is reading the book, and we're saying

  384. to one another, the book applies to every person. God

  385. legislates morality. God is law maker. That's Isaiah thirty three

  386. twenty two. God is lawmaker. We're smart if we just

  387. figure out what laws He's made, and then we abide

  388. by those, and we publish those one to another, and

  389. we call the violation of those one to another.

  390. When we harm one another a crime, that's a crime. Hello.

  391. Well okay, and.

  392. So we got Christians doing this, and I understand a

  393. little bit. I mean I understood. They almost sucked me in.

  394. I was getting seduced by this thing. Yeah, yeah, that's right.

  395. We can't legislate morality. Yeah, yeah, we got to be careful. Yeah,

  396. we got to be kid. That's right, that's right.

  397. Yeah, because we got to win heart.

  398. And if you don't win the heart, big deal, you know.

  399. I mean, we don't want just outward behavior, you know

  400. kind of a thing, and you know, we got to

  401. win the heart, you know, that kind of a thing.

  402. And so I was getting sucked into it myself. I

  403. was getting sucked into it. Then I read the Bible.

  404. The Bible sheds a lot of light on stupid ideas,

  405. and the Bible says, no, no, no, no.

  406. God.

  407. God gave us the law to push us toward faith.

  408. And God uses the law to drive people toward faith.

  409. And the law is actually a tutor. It's it's a disciplinarian.

  410. Actually.

  411. That actually draw because it shows all of us how

  412. miserable we are, and every one of us, our lives

  413. are measured up against the law, and then we come

  414. up short, and then we feel like a pile of poop,

  415. and then.

  416. We've got to go.

  417. This is a special sermon today, You're we got every

  418. I haven't cussed yet. Now.

  419. I don't like cussing. I don't even like that.

  420. I don't cuss at home is as bad as it gets.

  421. But we might have more of that coming in a minute.

  422. I don't know, but I'm just telling you we got

  423. I got a revelation on this. I begin to get

  424. a revelation in the word is that, Oh this is

  425. Satan's up to something. And now he's getting all the

  426. Christians to agree. Yeah, you can't legislate morality, so then

  427. let's pass those Okay, Well, let's just make all drugs legal.

  428. Oh, that's a good idea.

  429. Let's do that like Oregon does that, Washington did that

  430. in Massachusetts. So that let's make all abortions. Yeah, you

  431. can kill your baby, let's make all that legal. We

  432. don't want to be putting nothing on nobody, and we

  433. don't want to we don't want to offend any sinners.

  434. That'd be a bad that's bad, stupid, that's stupid. This

  435. is stupid.

  436. This what this is.

  437. And part of this, part of this is believe it

  438. or not. Part of this why it's so popular in

  439. the church is because this is it's it's the secret,

  440. secret sensitive model seekre sensitive Christian church growth is that

  441. if we make people feel bad, they won't come to church,

  442. or they won't come to Jesus. We're gonna drive them

  443. away from God. And so we can't make people feel bad.

  444. We need to make people feel good. And so don't

  445. tell people that they're sinning.

  446. That's bad.

  447. Like, don't even tell anybody that they got a bad trade.

  448. Don't even do that, you know, just just love everybody,

  449. Love everybody with stupidity, a love that will not a

  450. love that will not draw them up into the royalty

  451. that they're actually called to. So we kind of bought

  452. into some of this. You hear me, we've kind of

  453. I don't know, maybe you've talked that way. Yeah, yeah,

  454. you can't legislate morality. Well, no, all morality is actually legislated.

  455. And I got another thought for you is that when

  456. you pass some of these stupid laws, you're actually legislating

  457. Satan's morality. So whose morality are you going to legislate?

  458. Because you cannot avoid legislating morality? So are you going

  459. to legislate Satan's Are you going to legislate the lords?

  460. Here's this revelation. I got this revelation I got, you know,

  461. about the Word of God because and I want to

  462. go to Galatians are out of time we're out of time.

  463. Go to Galatians. Go to Galatians, Chapter three, verse twenty one. Pardon, Oh,

  464. I love this congregation. This is my this is my home.

  465. We got we got some fiery up people here. We

  466. got real Christians. We got real Christians at New Horizon.

  467. Now this is listen, listen, listen, what's happened. The church

  468. is afraid you'll leave. The church is afraid to tell

  469. the truth because you might get offended. The church is

  470. afraid you might get offended and not tied. Woe be

  471. it unto.

  472. You that you get upset with the preacher and not give.

  473. And so we're just going to feed you these stupid,

  474. little silly sermons that don't really.

  475. Do anything.

  476. You know, sitting here, the Lord was talking to me

  477. during worship, and he reminded me, Matthew five. He reminded

  478. me that what happens with this kind of church, and

  479. it's happening in Europe. It's happened in Europe. Europe's way

  480. ahead of us in this backsliding. And by the way,

  481. Newsom calls it progressive. Right left people call this progressive.

  482. The more back slain you get, the more progressive they

  483. call it. Oh, you're really progressive. No, you're not progressive.

  484. You're actually retreating back into Satanism. You're retreating back into

  485. being under demonic rulers.

  486. Which will soon have us.

  487. Devouring one another and soon have our nations in poverty.

  488. These nations that progress this way actually move into poverty, tribalism, witchcraft, poverty.

  489. It's coming to a nation near you. In Europe right now,

  490. they're ahead of us in progressivism. It's demonism. This isn't

  491. progressive thought. This is demonic thought. Are we got to

  492. recognize it and realize that we're in a battle, and

  493. God's calling us to the forefront of the battle, even

  494. if we're a Gideon group and even if those watching,

  495. because we know this is the word of the Lord,

  496. and so we're not afraid of a dollar not coming in.

  497. We're not going.

  498. To preach some lie so that we're afraid that somebody

  499. might leave.

  500. We're going to.

  501. Preach the truth because this is what will grow true believers.

  502. This was what will fortify true believers. This is what

  503. will strengthen the true body of Christ. So he reminded

  504. me out of Matthew chapter five, what's happened in Europe

  505. If the salt loses its saber, then it's good for nothing,

  506. only meant to be trampled upon. The Church in Europe

  507. is trampled upon. And it says, if the salt loses

  508. its favor, it's flavor, it's saber, then it becomes good

  509. for nothing, only worth that to be, you know, trampled

  510. on and cast out. The Church of Europe is trampled

  511. upond and cast out what They lost their flavor? They

  512. lost their flavor. Now you know, I got an epic

  513. Times article this week. The eatery said, oh I loved it.

  514. Any salt lovers in the building, Oh I love salt,

  515. Give me a potatoed ship. Give me a peanut doused

  516. in triple salt. Right, don't you give me those plain peanuts?

  517. Hate those things. I got this article this week. It said,

  518. news studies show that sodium. It is it, that sodium

  519. is effective to destroy cancer. O, praise God, give me

  520. more sodium, baby, listen to the metaphor. All these studies

  521. voted one out of twenty nineteen, and they quoted one

  522. out of twenty twenty two, and the recent one. Then

  523. the article, you know, it ends by saying, but you know,

  524. we're not sure that this works for humans, so don't

  525. increase your sodium content. I'm like, oh, baby, it works.

  526. Hand me the salt. Shut up and give me the salt.

  527. But I'm thinking of the metaphor. Think about the metaphor

  528. the salt. Here we get we're literally killing the cancer

  529. of the demonic realm. Cancer is a satanic sickness. It's

  530. like a satanic disease. We got to be so oh,

  531. we got to be so salty. I mean, we just

  532. gotta whoo shake everywhere you go, get a little on

  533. somebody everywhere you go.

  534. Right, kill the cancer. Kill the cancer.

  535. Is the law, contrary to the promises of God, may

  536. never be For if a law had been given which

  537. was able to part life, then righteousness would indeed be

  538. based on the law. But the scripture has shut up

  539. everyone under sin. Oh I'm righteous.

  540. Shut up.

  541. How don't you like that? Oh no, I'm a really

  542. good person.

  543. Shut up. Have you lied? Yeah? Shut up? Then? Right?

  544. Have you stolen? Yeah a little bit? Shut up. The

  545. law has shut up.

  546. Everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in

  547. Jesus Christ might be given.

  548. To those who believe.

  549. Before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law,

  550. being shut up to the faith which was later to

  551. be revealed. Therefore, the law became our tutor, our disciplinarian,

  552. to lead us to Christ so that we may be.

  553. Justified by faith.

  554. Satan knows we are on the cusp of a billion

  555. soul harvest, and he's trying so hard now to bring

  556. lawlessness into the picture. Second, Thessalonians two says lawlessness is

  557. the working of Satan. It's literally the activity of Satan,

  558. because Satan knows that the law draws people to God.

  559. Oh Church, my exhortation for us today stand it with me.

  560. We cannot forsake the laws of God. We cannot forsake

  561. the laws of our nation. We cannot forsake our involvement

  562. in the governmental expression of the laws of our nation.

  563. We cannot hide ourselves in the priestly realm of the church.

  564. Only when the church the Lucia, has a senate expression,

  565. it has a legislative expression. And God's calling us to

  566. this legislative expression. From the seven to seven, what shall

  567. we say is the law sin may never be. On

  568. the contrary, I would not have come to known sin

  569. except through the law, for I would not have known

  570. about coveting if the law had not said thou shalt

  571. not covet. But sin taking an opportunity through the commandment

  572. produced in me coveting of every kind. For apart from

  573. the law, sin is dead. I was once alive from

  574. apart from the law, as a little one, But when

  575. the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died. In

  576. this commandment, which was the result in life, proved to

  577. result in death for me, for sin taking an opportunity

  578. through the commandment deceived me and through it killed me.

  579. So then the law is holy, and the commandment is

  580. holy and righteous and good. See the law. The law

  581. is critical because the law is used by the Holy

  582. Spirit to bring the conviction of the three things that

  583. Holy Spirit said he would come to do, conviction of sin, judgment,

  584. and righteousness. And the law is one of the hinges

  585. for the conviction of this Holy Spirit in culture. And

  586. so we can't get into this thing.

  587. We can't.

  588. We have to renounce this thing where yeah, yeah, we'll

  589. just let them bring any law they want. We'll just

  590. let them destroy every law that's good. It doesn't really matter.

  591. You can't legislate morality anyway. Oh, no, no, we got

  592. to renounce that. That's the working of Satan, that is

  593. the working of the lawless one, the one who works

  594. in iniquity. Say with me, Holy Spirit, I embrace again

  595. today the priestly life and the priestly role, and the

  596. priestly anointing of the Church, the ecclesia. And I embrace

  597. also today the governmental role, the governmental call, the kingly call,

  598. which includes the judicial, it includes the law giving, it

  599. includes the kingly executive leadership of the nation. I embrace

  600. this today, Father, as part of my calling in Christ

  601. in the Beloved, for You've made me to shoulder both

  602. the priestly and the government. And I rejoice in this grace.

  603. Say with me, I rejoice in this grace. I rejoice

  604. in this grace. I read joice in this grace. I

  605. read joice in this grace. Father, I repent on behalf

  606. of the church. I repent on behalf of the church.

  607. I renounce the shir king of our responsibility to carry

  608. the shoulder government. And I say no more, no more

  609. does the church run from the anointing, the calling, and

  610. the responsibility. In Jesus' name, everybody said, God, bless your church.
