-
Lulujah, Good morning, Church. Let stand in prayer of the Word.
-
Thought.
-
We thank you for your touch on our lives. We
-
thank you for the ministry of the Word in our midst.
-
We welcome you to shake the ground of our hearts,
-
shake the ground of our nation. I'll give you the
-
praise for it in Jesus' name. Everybody said, Amen, you
-
may be seated. I want to I want to start
-
with some thoughts out of last week Isaiah nine six
-
through seven. We talked about a government of peace for
-
to us a child is born, to us as son
-
is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
-
Everybody say, government on his shoulders, and he will be
-
called wonderful counselor Mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
-
Of the greatness of his government and peace, there will
-
be no end. Remember, I prefer a different translation than
-
the NIV which we have here. I prefer New American
-
New King James ZESV some of these others King James
-
even which says of the increase of his government of peace,
-
there shall be no end. It's an increase, it's a progression.
-
So yes, it's great, but it's increasing. He will reign
-
on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing it and
-
upholding it with justice and righteousness. So remember, well, last
-
week we talked about he's reigning on two thrones. He's
-
a king and a priest. Right, he's a king and
-
a priest. He's reigning on two thrones. He's reigning on
-
the throne of Melkezedic. That's his priestly ministry. He's reigning
-
on the throne of David. That's his kingly ministry. So
-
he's fulfilling both. Everybody say both with me. This morning,
-
he will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom,
-
establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness. From that
-
time on and forever, the zeal of the Lord Almighty
-
will accomplish this. The zeal of the Lord in you,
-
the zeal of the Lord and you. It's the zeal
-
of the Lord and you. It's not just the zeal
-
of the Lord in some ambiguous arena. It's not just
-
the zeal of the Lord somewhere out there in outer space.
-
The zeal of the Lord's been loosed in you. You
-
are the partner of God in government, not just the
-
partner of God in churches and priestly ministry SAMN. So
-
what we talked about last week a little bit is
-
that God is working to bring forth a government of peace,
-
a government that is on the shoulders of Jesus in
-
and through the hearts of all of those who trust
-
in Jesus.
-
Meaning then we.
-
All have to shoulder government, we all have to embrace government,
-
we all have to be involved in government. And that's
-
what made this nation great in the beginning, and in
-
the first place, what made this nation great was the
-
vision that the forefathers had that government would be representative
-
of the people. So the church would carry the priestly,
-
the government would carry the three branches. Out of Isaiah
-
thirty three twenty two, the government would carry the judicial,
-
the legislative, and the executive. Thank you, legislative is the law.
-
So I want to go over. Let me read that
-
one to you. But I don't know if you knew
-
some of this stuff, right, but I'm supposing you probably didn't.
-
I'm just making you happy reminding you of what you
-
alread knew because your genius is But Isaiah thirty three
-
twenty two, for the Lord is our judge, the Lord
-
is our lawgiver. Or law maker. The Lord is our king,
-
he will save us. This scripture was the inspiration of
-
the founding fathers for the three benches of government. The
-
Lord is no Now you got to recognize the Lord
-
is our judge, The Lord is our lawgiver, The Lord
-
is our king. You got to recognize. This is governments
-
flowing out of the Lord. They understood that, they thought
-
they had a vision of that. They discerned that a
-
nation that would stand would have to be built on
-
not man made laws, but built on the government that
-
is the Lord. So even this, you know this passage.
-
I told you last week. I tormented you. I told
-
you last week that the government shall be upon his shoulders.
-
The fulfillment of that means that those who are his
-
shoulder government. It also means some other things, though, I mean,
-
there's some other stuff that it means, and I think
-
this is important. It means that the government will be
-
upon his word, The government will be upon his stature,
-
the government will be upon his character, the government will
-
be upon his truth, The government will be upon his law,
-
his commandments. Right, So this is this is it's interesting
-
and it's interesting to note that the priestly ministry is
-
also upon his stature, we're called the priestly ministry is
-
called to grow up into the fullness of the stature.
-
This is Ephesian chapter four.
-
That Jesus, and you'll also notice the priestly ministry, though
-
it belongs to him, he's the high priest. Guess what
-
he's done. He's distributed to us. He even said in
-
John twenty through twenty twenty through twenty two, he said
-
he breathed on them, and he said, who's ever's sins
-
you forgive?
-
They are forgiven.
-
He was releasing priestly ministry to us. The authority to
-
represent him in bringing people to the cross and announcing
-
their sins forgiven was given to the church the Ecclesea.
-
And so the priestly ministry has been distributed to us,
-
but also the kingly ministry. And he distributed the priestly ministry.
-
And he said, I'm giving five offices to the church,
-
and he names an apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher, evangelist.
-
I'm testing you.
-
Ephesians four eight through eleven. And then he says, and
-
these offices will remain to equip the body of Christ
-
into the word is Doma, into the word ministry. They'll
-
equip the body of Christ into the fullness in ministry,
-
into the fullness of the stature of the faith that
-
belongs to the Sun. So we're growing up into the
-
stature of Him. And this is what it is for
-
us to carry the ministry. We shoulder the ministry of
-
Jesus in the priestly realm. And we've done a pretty
-
good job with that. We've done a fairly good job.
-
The church has done a fairly good job of that.
-
The church could do better. Could the church do better?
-
Could you do better than the church could do better? Okay,
-
So but we've got this and we're running after it
-
and we want to do better.
-
Right.
-
But we also he's trying to tell us we also
-
shoulder government. That the government is on his shoulders. And
-
he carries three roles, like three offices in government, like
-
he carries five offices in the priestly ministry.
-
He is.
-
He carries the role of judge, he carries the role
-
of lawgiver, he carries the role of king. This is
-
and these also are fleshed out through us whose shoulder
-
government with him because we've embraced it, because we aren't
-
only representatives of him in his priestly ministry. We are
-
representacive of Him in his kingly ministry. So Revelation one six,
-
we are a kingdom of priests and kings. He has
-
made us a kingdom of priests and kings, that we
-
would not only bring heaven to earth like the dispensing
-
of salvation and healing and righteousness, but we would also
-
bring the government of heaven to earth with justice and
-
righteousness and truth.
-
We bring both.
-
And I tormented you a little last week by saying
-
that we as a people, we have shirked the kingly
-
responsibility we have. We've abdicated it, We've given it away,
-
We've let others take it, We've said we didn't want it.
-
We didn't even recognize it as a calling over here.
-
If I feel like I'm called to ministry, that means
-
I'm called to preach.
-
Whoa nellie.
-
But if I'm called the ministry, I mean but if
-
I'm called the government, Oh that's a bummer. I haven't
-
even seen this as a dignified calling, a calling wherein
-
I needed to receive an anointing, where in I'm dignified
-
and and treated with dignity in the body of Christ.
-
You're called the government. Oh you're called to be an attorney.
-
You're called the law. Oh yeah, we'll talk to you later.
-
Where's the preachers, where's the prophets? We've been all excited
-
about the priestly side, but we haven't been excited about
-
the kingly side. God is saying we need to wake
-
up and be called back into and love and honor
-
the kingly calling. Because the kingly calling is an anointed
-
calling of Christ, just as the priestly calling. This is
-
just as valid of a calling as the priestly calling.
-
Anything over here to do with the priestly, any of
-
those offices of ministry, this is just as valid, just
-
as powerful, just as anointed, just as needful. We need
-
to embrace this. And it means judicial, It means laws,
-
and it means it's the third one I keep forgetting
-
executive Brench kingly, are you hearing me? Our forefathers knew this,
-
They knew this, They studied this when they when they
-
came over here, they came over with prayer. They wrote
-
up the may Mayflower Compact? Was it the may foul Compact?
-
Help me, honey, they wrote up this Mayflower. I mean
-
they had all this stuff right and so, and they
-
had prayer, and they knew that the value of the
-
laws that were resting on the word of God. So
-
when they wrote the Constitution, when they were drafting the
-
laws of our nation, they were mindful of the Word
-
of God. They were thinking about the Word of God.
-
They actually turned to and went to the civil laws
-
of the Word of God as well as the Ten Commitments.
-
They were looking within those laws to see, okay, because
-
if we have these laws as the foundation of our nation,
-
then what's going to happen is we're going to have
-
a prospering people, and it's going to be inviting God
-
to be present and acknowledging Him. As we do that,
-
then God's blessing is going to be on the nation.
-
Whether you're a believer or not, whether you have acknowledged
-
you Jesus are not there, You're going to be under
-
a covering of blessing because we've embraced the laws of God.
-
This is super important.
-
But now what we see is we see that as
-
unrighteousness has increased, and you know, unrighteousness is not unrighteousness
-
or the wicked. They are not a majority in the nation,
-
but as the minority has gotten emboldened, and as they've
-
gotten loud, and as the Church has hid its head
-
in the auditorium, and hid its head in the sanctuary,
-
and hid itself not in the sand, but kind of
-
like in the sand. Right, you put your head down
-
in the sand, and you can't see, and.
-
You la la la la la.
-
God is sovereign. God is sovereign, And so well, he'll
-
just we just have more meetings here at the house.
-
He'll just take care of all this in his sovereignty.
-
Here's what happens. His sovereignty is meant to be fleshed
-
out through those who walk with him. His sovereignty is
-
fleshed out through you and me. So if you and
-
me are not partnering with him, I do nothing unless
-
I show the prophets. This is what the Bible says,
-
He partners with us. Somebody else thought that it would
-
work this way as well. Do you remember who that was?
-
I don't know if you remember, But there was a
-
bunch of people who were the multi inherited generations of
-
a promise to inherit the promised land. Do you remember that?
-
And so the time wasn't right, and it still wasn't right,
-
and it wasn't time to go in. And one of
-
the reasons they couldn't go in is God said through
-
the prophets that the sin of the Amorite has not
-
come to full maturety. And so because to go in
-
and possess the Promised Land, they were to go in
-
and judge the seven nations that were there. Those nations
-
had to be judged, but their iniquity had not come
-
to a full up yet, and so it wasn't time
-
to go in. But there was a day when it
-
was time to go in. There was a day when
-
God said, all right, it's time to go in and
-
possess the Promised Land. But there was a generation who
-
wouldn't believe. There was a generation who where we be
-
not able generation? There was a generation. Are you here
-
what I'm saying. I'm talking about God's sovereignty because the church.
-
One of the faults with the Church is we've hidden
-
our head in the sand of God, his sovereign. So
-
He's gonna put on the president whoever he wants in there.
-
I don't even need to vote. He's just going to
-
take care of everything down the county city building, no
-
matter what.
-
I don't even need to show up. All I need
-
to do is go to a prayer meeting. God does
-
these things? Is this a God? I have to my head?
-
What is this?
-
Maybe I'm just pointing the abbreviation of a mountain mt. Hello, somebody,
-
we haven't been partnering with God appropriately, because what happens
-
in sovereignty is God needs us to hear what he's saying,
-
see what he's saying, see what he's doing, and then
-
partner with him with appropriate expression. And that isn't just
-
expression here in the house, but it's lifting up our
-
lives and pouring our lives into the culture, the culture
-
we've been convinced to abandon. But this is our nation,
-
this is our earth, This is our earth. The earth
-
belongs to the Lord. The meek shall inherit the So
-
thinking about God's sovereignty, we have to stop thinking God's
-
going to do what he wants to do all by himself.
-
That's what the Israelite people did. And so what happened
-
is that through their unbelief and through their small thinking
-
and seeing that the land was full of giants, God said, oh,
-
I can't take this generation in. Well, that's confusing. Didn't
-
you say it's time to go in. Yeah, well, didn't
-
you say that we should go in? Yeah, well, then
-
why don't you take us in? Because you won't believe.
-
So you have to partner your faith with me. If
-
you'll partner, all of you Israelites, listen to me, If
-
you'll partner your faith with me, then we can go in.
-
Because you already said, these.
-
Seven nations are stronger, greaterier, and mightier than us, and
-
they're nations of war. So you don't have the ability
-
to go in and whoop up on them and inherit
-
the Promised Land on your own. The only way you're
-
going to go in and inherit the Promised Land is
-
if you look to me in faith and then I
-
do the whooping while you do the merchant. That's the
-
only way it'll work. There has to be a faith expression.
-
So so God's sovereignty crashed and burned for a full
-
generation until that generation died.
-
That generation had to die off.
-
And God said, okay, I couldn't get you generation, but I.
-
Can get your babies.
-
So, Joshua and Caleb, I want you to have Sunday school,
-
Monday school, Tuesday school, Thursday school, Friday school, Saturday school,
-
and then start with Sunday School again. Let's just teach
-
this generation faith. We're gonna teach him how to believe God.
-
We're gonna teach him for miracles. We're gonna teach him
-
to partner with angels. We're gonna teach him that God,
-
who have parted the Red Sea for their parents, can
-
do anything. And then we're gonna raise up a generation
-
of faith. And guess what, I can partner with them
-
because they'll partner with me by believing. And we'll go
-
in and even though the giants look big, we'll drive
-
them out and dispossess them.
-
How we gonna do it.
-
We're gonna do it with sling shots to their tuber
-
charged by angels. We're gonna do it with arrows that
-
release fieries, storms of hailstones. We're gonna do it with
-
all sorts of stuff. Don't worry about that. Just walk
-
with me and obey. Come on, let's march. This is
-
this is we We gotta we gotta be thinking that, yes,
-
God is sovereign, but the miracles he wants to do
-
in the priestly ministry and in government, these miracles they
-
have to occur as we agree with them and partner
-
with him and put shoe leather to what he's saying
-
and doing and actually show up. We have to show up.
-
We can't say, well, that's not my realm. Well he's sovereign,
-
he'll just take care of it. Well it's not happening
-
because he doesn't want us to well, evils increasing anyway.
-
We that's not no, no, no, no no, we're missing it.
-
We're missing it. If that's our attitude, and we will
-
be like that generation, God won't be able to use
-
this appropriately and God will have to raise up a generation.
-
He'll be trying to do something with our kids. Hello, somebody,
-
I was gonna make a statement there about a bunch
-
of you needed to get pregnant, but I'll just skip
-
that one. So this is what we're seeing now, is
-
this massive pushback. We're seeing this, and part of why
-
we're seeing the pushback is God has released his word
-
of a billion soul harvest. Satan's having a fit. Secondly,
-
we're seeing a big pushback because we've been so focused
-
on the rapture and getting out of here that we
-
have not occupied and been after it aggressively in a
-
warfare means.
-
Thirdly, because of that.
-
Also, we've been filled with hope instead of filled with faith,
-
I mean filled with hopelessness instead of faith. And so
-
a hopeless army Ezequiel thirty seven is a dead army.
-
And you know, fourthly, we've been slothful, we've been prayerless,
-
we've been self absorbed, prosperity focus, we've been everything under
-
the sun except for being the warfare people were supposed
-
to be. We are called to war now it you know,
-
right now, it's happening. I mean, if we don't wake
-
up right now, then we're gonna lose the war for
-
a generation because satan ainate plan. That isn't that isn't
-
a word, but I'll just use it. Satan aint planned,
-
Satan nate plan. Now you can, you can hit your
-
you put your head down your video games and and
-
you can put your little head down in the sand
-
of churchism. You can. But I'm telling you, Satan nate plan.
-
He wants the entire earth. He wants the people of
-
the earth. He wants your neighbors, he wants everybody, he
-
wants your children, he wants everybody. And he ain't planned.
-
This is a spiritual battle. This is a spiritual war.
-
This is spiritual fighting. This is this is the real deal. So,
-
you know, we've seen some of the stuff happening recently. Now,
-
some of what we've seen happening recently is because Satan
-
knows something. This is very interesting. Satan is the man
-
of lawlessness. Satan is the spirit of lawlessness. He's the
-
spirit of chaos and anarchy. And what he knows is
-
that the law draws people to God. Lawlessness pushes people
-
away from God. Lawlessness pushes people away from God. The
-
law draws people to God.
-
Okay, so Satan knows that.
-
So you can see all of these things that are
-
going on recently before COVID, during COVID, some of this
-
was brought to light during COVID, but the decriminalizing of
-
criminal activity, the minimizing of crime or prison times or
-
reduction or elimination, the sorrow's fact prosecutors and the decriminalizing
-
that they are being, that they're expressing and their state
-
are in their governments, the left leaning governmental leaders changing
-
the definition of felonies and crimes in their states. All
-
of this stuff that's going on. This is Satan working
-
to reduce the law and to expand lawlessness. Lawlessness is
-
what he flourishes in. And the hope in the demonic
-
mind is that lawlessness pushes people away from God, therefore
-
circumventing the billion soul harvest. All the while, while this
-
is happening, Christians, we're put on our thumbs or picking
-
our nose.
-
We're touting in church.
-
You know, we're doing all sorts of well, I mean,
-
at that age you can, but I mean, you know,
-
but I mean, you know all this, But.
-
No, we got to wake up church, Church, We got
-
to wake.
-
Up Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. Then then what's happening
-
is we got this thing going on all across the nation.
-
We got a bunch of Christian folks saying, yeah, that's right,
-
we shouldn't have no Christian laws. We got to push them.
-
We can't have any Bible based laws. We're going to
-
offend people. We're going to drive people away from the
-
Lord if we have that stuff. I mean, we're no
-
longer a Christian nation anyway.
-
Who do we think we are? We got to calm down.
-
And so we got all these Christians they're like, that's
-
Christian nationalism. We can't force that on folk. You know,
-
we can't be doing that. Well, we've done it for
-
over two hundred years. It's been working fine. You got
-
to retard gene that kicked in or something. What's going on.
-
It's been working just fine. It's been working just fine.
-
And so and we got all these Christian consider Well, yeah,
-
you can't legislate morality. God's been doing it for a
-
long time. I don't know where what planet you just
-
arrived from. Anyway, Listen, it's not Christians legislating morality anyway.
-
All we're doing is reading the book, and we're saying
-
to one another, the book applies to every person. God
-
legislates morality. God is law maker. That's Isaiah thirty three
-
twenty two. God is lawmaker. We're smart if we just
-
figure out what laws He's made, and then we abide
-
by those, and we publish those one to another, and
-
we call the violation of those one to another.
-
When we harm one another a crime, that's a crime. Hello.
-
Well okay, and.
-
So we got Christians doing this, and I understand a
-
little bit. I mean I understood. They almost sucked me in.
-
I was getting seduced by this thing. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
-
We can't legislate morality. Yeah, yeah, we got to be careful. Yeah,
-
we got to be kid. That's right, that's right.
-
Yeah, because we got to win heart.
-
And if you don't win the heart, big deal, you know.
-
I mean, we don't want just outward behavior, you know
-
kind of a thing, and you know, we got to
-
win the heart, you know, that kind of a thing.
-
And so I was getting sucked into it myself. I
-
was getting sucked into it. Then I read the Bible.
-
The Bible sheds a lot of light on stupid ideas,
-
and the Bible says, no, no, no, no.
-
God.
-
God gave us the law to push us toward faith.
-
And God uses the law to drive people toward faith.
-
And the law is actually a tutor. It's it's a disciplinarian.
-
Actually.
-
That actually draw because it shows all of us how
-
miserable we are, and every one of us, our lives
-
are measured up against the law, and then we come
-
up short, and then we feel like a pile of poop,
-
and then.
-
We've got to go.
-
This is a special sermon today, You're we got every
-
I haven't cussed yet. Now.
-
I don't like cussing. I don't even like that.
-
I don't cuss at home is as bad as it gets.
-
But we might have more of that coming in a minute.
-
I don't know, but I'm just telling you we got
-
I got a revelation on this. I begin to get
-
a revelation in the word is that, Oh this is
-
Satan's up to something. And now he's getting all the
-
Christians to agree. Yeah, you can't legislate morality, so then
-
let's pass those Okay, Well, let's just make all drugs legal.
-
Oh, that's a good idea.
-
Let's do that like Oregon does that, Washington did that
-
in Massachusetts. So that let's make all abortions. Yeah, you
-
can kill your baby, let's make all that legal. We
-
don't want to be putting nothing on nobody, and we
-
don't want to we don't want to offend any sinners.
-
That'd be a bad that's bad, stupid, that's stupid. This
-
is stupid.
-
This what this is.
-
And part of this, part of this is believe it
-
or not. Part of this why it's so popular in
-
the church is because this is it's it's the secret,
-
secret sensitive model seekre sensitive Christian church growth is that
-
if we make people feel bad, they won't come to church,
-
or they won't come to Jesus. We're gonna drive them
-
away from God. And so we can't make people feel bad.
-
We need to make people feel good. And so don't
-
tell people that they're sinning.
-
That's bad.
-
Like, don't even tell anybody that they got a bad trade.
-
Don't even do that, you know, just just love everybody,
-
Love everybody with stupidity, a love that will not a
-
love that will not draw them up into the royalty
-
that they're actually called to. So we kind of bought
-
into some of this. You hear me, we've kind of
-
I don't know, maybe you've talked that way. Yeah, yeah,
-
you can't legislate morality. Well, no, all morality is actually legislated.
-
And I got another thought for you is that when
-
you pass some of these stupid laws, you're actually legislating
-
Satan's morality. So whose morality are you going to legislate?
-
Because you cannot avoid legislating morality? So are you going
-
to legislate Satan's Are you going to legislate the lords?
-
Here's this revelation. I got this revelation I got, you know,
-
about the Word of God because and I want to
-
go to Galatians are out of time we're out of time.
-
Go to Galatians. Go to Galatians, Chapter three, verse twenty one. Pardon, Oh,
-
I love this congregation. This is my this is my home.
-
We got we got some fiery up people here. We
-
got real Christians. We got real Christians at New Horizon.
-
Now this is listen, listen, listen, what's happened. The church
-
is afraid you'll leave. The church is afraid to tell
-
the truth because you might get offended. The church is
-
afraid you might get offended and not tied. Woe be
-
it unto.
-
You that you get upset with the preacher and not give.
-
And so we're just going to feed you these stupid,
-
little silly sermons that don't really.
-
Do anything.
-
You know, sitting here, the Lord was talking to me
-
during worship, and he reminded me, Matthew five. He reminded
-
me that what happens with this kind of church, and
-
it's happening in Europe. It's happened in Europe. Europe's way
-
ahead of us in this backsliding. And by the way,
-
Newsom calls it progressive. Right left people call this progressive.
-
The more back slain you get, the more progressive they
-
call it. Oh, you're really progressive. No, you're not progressive.
-
You're actually retreating back into Satanism. You're retreating back into
-
being under demonic rulers.
-
Which will soon have us.
-
Devouring one another and soon have our nations in poverty.
-
These nations that progress this way actually move into poverty, tribalism, witchcraft, poverty.
-
It's coming to a nation near you. In Europe right now,
-
they're ahead of us in progressivism. It's demonism. This isn't
-
progressive thought. This is demonic thought. Are we got to
-
recognize it and realize that we're in a battle, and
-
God's calling us to the forefront of the battle, even
-
if we're a Gideon group and even if those watching,
-
because we know this is the word of the Lord,
-
and so we're not afraid of a dollar not coming in.
-
We're not going.
-
To preach some lie so that we're afraid that somebody
-
might leave.
-
We're going to.
-
Preach the truth because this is what will grow true believers.
-
This was what will fortify true believers. This is what
-
will strengthen the true body of Christ. So he reminded
-
me out of Matthew chapter five, what's happened in Europe
-
If the salt loses its saber, then it's good for nothing,
-
only meant to be trampled upon. The Church in Europe
-
is trampled upon. And it says, if the salt loses
-
its favor, it's flavor, it's saber, then it becomes good
-
for nothing, only worth that to be, you know, trampled
-
on and cast out. The Church of Europe is trampled
-
upond and cast out what They lost their flavor? They
-
lost their flavor. Now you know, I got an epic
-
Times article this week. The eatery said, oh I loved it.
-
Any salt lovers in the building, Oh I love salt,
-
Give me a potatoed ship. Give me a peanut doused
-
in triple salt. Right, don't you give me those plain peanuts?
-
Hate those things. I got this article this week. It said,
-
news studies show that sodium. It is it, that sodium
-
is effective to destroy cancer. O, praise God, give me
-
more sodium, baby, listen to the metaphor. All these studies
-
voted one out of twenty nineteen, and they quoted one
-
out of twenty twenty two, and the recent one. Then
-
the article, you know, it ends by saying, but you know,
-
we're not sure that this works for humans, so don't
-
increase your sodium content. I'm like, oh, baby, it works.
-
Hand me the salt. Shut up and give me the salt.
-
But I'm thinking of the metaphor. Think about the metaphor
-
the salt. Here we get we're literally killing the cancer
-
of the demonic realm. Cancer is a satanic sickness. It's
-
like a satanic disease. We got to be so oh,
-
we got to be so salty. I mean, we just
-
gotta whoo shake everywhere you go, get a little on
-
somebody everywhere you go.
-
Right, kill the cancer. Kill the cancer.
-
Is the law, contrary to the promises of God, may
-
never be For if a law had been given which
-
was able to part life, then righteousness would indeed be
-
based on the law. But the scripture has shut up
-
everyone under sin. Oh I'm righteous.
-
Shut up.
-
How don't you like that? Oh no, I'm a really
-
good person.
-
Shut up. Have you lied? Yeah? Shut up? Then? Right?
-
Have you stolen? Yeah a little bit? Shut up. The
-
law has shut up.
-
Everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in
-
Jesus Christ might be given.
-
To those who believe.
-
Before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law,
-
being shut up to the faith which was later to
-
be revealed. Therefore, the law became our tutor, our disciplinarian,
-
to lead us to Christ so that we may be.
-
Justified by faith.
-
Satan knows we are on the cusp of a billion
-
soul harvest, and he's trying so hard now to bring
-
lawlessness into the picture. Second, Thessalonians two says lawlessness is
-
the working of Satan. It's literally the activity of Satan,
-
because Satan knows that the law draws people to God.
-
Oh Church, my exhortation for us today stand it with me.
-
We cannot forsake the laws of God. We cannot forsake
-
the laws of our nation. We cannot forsake our involvement
-
in the governmental expression of the laws of our nation.
-
We cannot hide ourselves in the priestly realm of the church.
-
Only when the church the Lucia, has a senate expression,
-
it has a legislative expression. And God's calling us to
-
this legislative expression. From the seven to seven, what shall
-
we say is the law sin may never be. On
-
the contrary, I would not have come to known sin
-
except through the law, for I would not have known
-
about coveting if the law had not said thou shalt
-
not covet. But sin taking an opportunity through the commandment
-
produced in me coveting of every kind. For apart from
-
the law, sin is dead. I was once alive from
-
apart from the law, as a little one, But when
-
the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died. In
-
this commandment, which was the result in life, proved to
-
result in death for me, for sin taking an opportunity
-
through the commandment deceived me and through it killed me.
-
So then the law is holy, and the commandment is
-
holy and righteous and good. See the law. The law
-
is critical because the law is used by the Holy
-
Spirit to bring the conviction of the three things that
-
Holy Spirit said he would come to do, conviction of sin, judgment,
-
and righteousness. And the law is one of the hinges
-
for the conviction of this Holy Spirit in culture. And
-
so we can't get into this thing.
-
We can't.
-
We have to renounce this thing where yeah, yeah, we'll
-
just let them bring any law they want. We'll just
-
let them destroy every law that's good. It doesn't really matter.
-
You can't legislate morality anyway. Oh, no, no, we got
-
to renounce that. That's the working of Satan, that is
-
the working of the lawless one, the one who works
-
in iniquity. Say with me, Holy Spirit, I embrace again
-
today the priestly life and the priestly role, and the
-
priestly anointing of the Church, the ecclesia. And I embrace
-
also today the governmental role, the governmental call, the kingly call,
-
which includes the judicial, it includes the law giving, it
-
includes the kingly executive leadership of the nation. I embrace
-
this today, Father, as part of my calling in Christ
-
in the Beloved, for You've made me to shoulder both
-
the priestly and the government. And I rejoice in this grace.
-
Say with me, I rejoice in this grace. I rejoice
-
in this grace. I read joice in this grace. I
-
read joice in this grace. Father, I repent on behalf
-
of the church. I repent on behalf of the church.
-
I renounce the shir king of our responsibility to carry
-
the shoulder government. And I say no more, no more
-
does the church run from the anointing, the calling, and
-
the responsibility. In Jesus' name, everybody said, God, bless your church.
