Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast
-
from St. Augustine, FL.
-
Now enjoy this message. You have your Bibles turn to
-
Revelations, Chapter 12. Revelations, Chapter 12.
Revelation 12 chapter mention Revelation 12 chapter mention
-
Amen. The way the Bible was
-
interpreted a lot of times is through people's paradigm shifts
-
or their traditions, and that's why we always say here.
-
At Anchor Faith Church according to Matthew 15.
-
Three Why do you forsake the commandments of God for the sake
-
of your traditions? So you have to decide that the
-
Bible is right, period. Rightly divided, that is, and
-
that you want the Bible to interpret itself.
-
I'm thankful for the gifts that are in the body.
-
You cannot deny them or ignore them.
-
And the minute you say, well, I don't need them, that's the five
-
fold ministry. The apostle, prophet, pastor,
-
teacher and evangelist. Well, then you're off because
-
you're saying you don't need something God says you need, All
-
right? And those gifts are there to
-
equip the Saints. They are to receive a revelation
-
of the word that then communicate, that opens up God's
-
word and makes it alive in you as the holy goes, bears witness
-
to the teaching they give you that that is correct.
-
Then you are to study it out for yourself.
-
And you don't believe it just because they say it.
-
You believe it because you now study it yourself and say, wow,
-
that is right on. That doesn't mean you're being
-
critical. That just means you're examining
-
scripture. OK, there's a difference.
-
And so anytime that I read from any author, I'm always examining
-
because This is why we go from Genesis 11 to Revelations 2221,
-
that's the whole Bible. So that we can always keep
-
things in context because when you begin to discover something,
-
you have to then question what maybe, you know, I'm gonna say
-
that again. When you discover something,
-
sometimes you have to question what you know because what you
-
know maybe on in a lens that is not as clear as it needs to be.
-
And I don't care if your mom told you that or your dad told
-
you that, they could have been wrong concerning the scripture.
-
I don't care if you have a someone, a loved one, that's a
-
pastor, they could be off, it could get off.
-
They may not even be trying to be off.
-
They just heard a tradition make a statement and had actually
-
study that statement out for themselves.
-
So again, it's very important that we take time to study the
-
scripture for ourselves. In a Revelations 1210 to 11.
-
Something was said by this author that I'll read here in a
-
moment, but it kind of woke something in me that got me
-
stinking. It made me go down some
-
journeys. And he says, and Revelations
-
1210 through 11 says this. And when I heard a loud voice in
-
heaven saying, Now the salvation and the power and the Kingdom of
-
our God and the authority of his Christ have come, For the
-
accuser of our brethren have been what thrown down He who
-
accuses them before our God day and night, Verse 11.
-
And they overcame him because of what, the blood of the Lamb and
-
because of the word of their testimony.
-
And they did not love their life, even when faced with
-
death. Now, we're going to talk about
-
this particular passive scripture a little bit
-
differently than what we've probably generally have heard
-
because, you know, you know as well as I do, as you study the
-
word of God, there's always something more in a scripture
-
that we've yet to mine out. There's just so much more
-
because as you learn little things here and there along the
-
way and you begin to see stuff from again the beginning of the
-
book, Genesis 11 to the end of Revelations, all of a sudden
-
context takes place. One of the biggest failures of
-
ministers and Saints alike is that we interpret scripture or
-
we begin to apply scripture from wrong covenants.
-
Meaning we will go back into books and begin to make them
-
applicable today when they are modified based upon the covenant
-
we're in. Job.
-
Many people go to Job, but you know Job was before the law,
-
Moses before that law even took place.
-
But people will go over to law Job and say the Lord giveth and
-
the Lord taketh away. Well, the Lord didn't take
-
nothing away if you actually read the book of Job.
-
If you actually read the book of Job, you'll know that Satan took
-
away. So Job was ignorant.
-
It's factual. It is a true statement that Job
-
said the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, but it was a
-
failure to recognize who actually took away Hallelujah.
-
So most people have a belief system that if you lose
-
something, it's God. Well, there's an enemy out there
-
that comes to kill, steal and destroy, Hallelujah.
-
So it's amazing how many people get into the New Covenant and
-
they act like all of the old covenants gone until they need
-
to apply something from the Old Covenant.
-
It's amazing how they'll do these things.
-
And so we have to make sure that when we're interpreting things
-
or we're looking at the word of God, we're looking at it in the
-
context of the covenant we're living in.
-
That means the revealed will of God in the age we live.
-
Are you hearing me? So Jesus said again in verse 10
-
or the scripture says. Then I heard a loud voice in
-
heaven saying now the salvation and the power.
-
And the Kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have
-
come. Has Christ come?
-
I said, Has he come? Has he come?
-
Has he defeated the devil? Has he whipped and stripped him
-
of his power? According to Colossians too?
-
Has he whipped him? Has he spoiled principalities
-
and powers? Has he taken back the dominion
-
that Adam took from that the devil took from Adam?
-
Yes, he has. And can he give that dominion
-
back to us? Now?
-
What demean are we talking about?
-
We're talking about the Dominion and Genesis chapter one verse
-
26. That said then God said let us
-
make man in our image according to our likeness and let them
-
have dominion or rule. So man was created in the image
-
of God. God is the ruler of all creation
-
and then he place makes a planet that he puts a man that's in his
-
image according to his likeness basically of his DNA and says I
-
want you to rule this place like I rule.
-
Amen. And so he gave man the the
-
authority on earth to rule how the system functioned and it was
-
to mirror heaven's way. That's why Jesus against it.
-
Now this is how we pray people that the will of heaven is done
-
where on earth, right. So Jesus letting us know this
-
principle was never to be violated.
-
But the first Adam violated that principle.
-
He gave his dominion over to the devil when he ate the fruit that
-
he was never supposed to eat. That the Lord said don't eat it
-
because the day you eat you will surely, surely die.
-
And when he did that, the Luke chapter four account of the
-
temptation of Christ. The devil himself says, I can
-
give you all these domains, all these kingdoms, because they've
-
been handed over to me and he received them from the first
-
atom. But Jesus is the last atom.
-
And then in fact and that and that says Jesus came and
-
functioned under the dominion that the first Adam lost.
-
And that's why he performed the miracles that he did.
-
If all you got to do is read Genesis 126 and then you look at
-
all the miracles he did in the four Gospels, they are within
-
that dominion mandate. This is why fish show up in
-
Nets. This is why fish multiply in his
-
hand. This is why plants die.
-
This is why winds and waves listen.
-
This is why my wife and I took the same principle that the Lord
-
said to us in the scripture, the works that I do.
-
Well, you know what Jesus did works other than heal the sick.
-
He did works other than cast out devils.
-
He did other worse than just raise the dead.
-
He spoke to nature. I said he spoke to nature.
-
So there was a hurricane that was out in the Atlantic that was
-
headed to Bermuda. Sorry.
-
You're not authorized. Because the Lord has authorized
-
that I could take off September the 1st through the 9th.
-
And I'm going to Bermuda, so this cannot be.
-
Are you hearing me? And so we spoke to the storm
-
that it cannot. You're glad just split it now,
-
aren't you glad you were on our cruise ship?
-
Megan and Gutter happened to be on the same ship.
-
Out of all the ships to pick, we were on the same one.
-
But we had a great time and Bermuda was awesome.
-
They took us to lunch and we overlooked the ocean off a golf
-
course or dinner. It was amazing.
-
Watch the sunset. Ooh, it was so good anyway.
-
But that wouldn't have happened if we would have been like,
-
well, you know, whatever happens, it's an act of God.
-
Not all Nate natural events are an act of God.
-
I said not all natural events are active acts of God.
-
So we spoke to it and it never hit the coast.
-
I mean, the outer bands didn't even get there.
-
Are you hearing me? Well guess what?
-
Lee's brewing. He's out there now.
-
Amen. Well, they can't come to
-
Florida. Not only could it not hinder our
-
cruise cause God has authorized me to be off.
-
That's the only reason I'm off. But number two, I have to have
-
sun because I am not floating on a tin can for 9 days.
-
And it raining. It's not happening.
-
It's not going to happen. So we pray for no rain now they
-
can bear witness. It only showered for like 5
-
minutes on day seven. Was it?
-
Maybe that's it. Period.
-
And it just done. It's one of our days at sea.
-
Everything else, nothing but sunshine.
-
I said nothing but sunshine and I have the tan to prove it.
-
You say, Well why would the Lord do that?
-
Because he loves me. And this is the thing people act
-
like, well, I can't. Why would you ask the Lord for
-
that? Because he cares.
-
For me, something that simple he cares for me, He loves me.
-
I mean, what parent that could do for their child don't do for
-
their child. And we're acting like we're
-
giving God some massive. Like it's a big deal for God to
-
say, Well, OK, son, I'll make sure no clouds get on your
-
course. Well, God has so much more
-
important things. There's nothing more important
-
to him than his kids, I said. There's nothing more important
-
things to to him than his kids. He loves us that much.
-
He gives to us exceedingly abundantly, far beyond what we
-
could think or imagine. We think that God's only
-
concerned about lost people. Jesus.
-
Jesus already paid the price for lost people.
-
It's done. It's our responsibility to tell
-
the lost. That's what we're tasked to do,
-
is to communicate. Jesus Christ is not actually
-
praying for lost people. The Bible says he intercedes for
-
the Saints. He's praying that we would get
-
revelation and that we would follow him and we would obey and
-
we would do wherever his spirit directed us.
-
And if we would do that, then the loss would have the greatest
-
opportunity to hear the word Hallelujah.
-
Such resistance right now this is interesting.
-
Now that's not what my church folk that's been here a while.
-
It's new people. I can tell it's because you
-
hadn't been trained. I'm just going to be honest with
-
you haven't been trained. One of the biggest arrogant
-
problems that we have in Christianity Today is that the
-
minute people get born again, they instantly think they know
-
everything. Yeah, the Bible calls you a babe
-
in Christ. You have to study.
-
It's shocking to me that it when we were lost and we discovered
-
Jesus Christ died on the cross and Roach for the grave to give
-
us life that we were willing to admit we're wrong and accept
-
Jesus. But when it comes to the
-
renewing of the mind, we are least we are very resistant to
-
want to change our thinking to reflect this new life we're in.
-
Nor do we want to hear somebody tell us when our thinking's
-
wrong, even when the Scripture proves it is Hallelujah.
-
Amen, because our Father has given us a Kingdom that cannot
-
be shaken, and most of us don't even know what the kingdom's
-
about because they think it's a destination.
-
It's heaven. Heaven is a place.
-
Earth is a place. And the kingdom's in both
-
locations. I said it's in both locations.
-
Hallelujah. This is really about sonship.
-
Being born again was not about going to heaven.
-
Being born again was about becoming a son of God so that
-
the Holy Ghost could come and live on the inside of you now.
-
Hallelujah. Are you hearing me?
-
So with that being said, it went on to say that they overcame him
-
with the blood of the lamb. Jesus has stripped the devil of
-
his power and they overcame him with the blood of the lamb
-
because of the word of the and the word of their testimony and
-
did not love their life even when facing death.
-
Genesis 4, verse 9 and 10. I'm going to talk to you about
-
the blood of the lamb today. But in order for us to talk
-
about the blood of the Lamb, we're going to talk about some
-
other blood and Genesis, Chapter 4, verse 9 and 10.
-
Hopefully you got your own electronic device or Bible so
-
you can follow us while they're getting the projectors up and
-
running the the computer, it says.
-
Then the Lord said to Cain Genesis 4, verse 9 and 10.
-
Then the Lord said to Cain, where is Abel, your brother now?
-
To bring you up to speed for those that may not know.
-
This historical account of two people who actually lived on
-
planet Earth. This is a actual event that took
-
place. OK, this is not a fairy tale.
-
These are real people. And that Cain and Abel offered
-
to God and offering gave him an offering.
-
There is no law of Moses here. They were not commanded in a
-
writing to give, but yet it was out of their heart.
-
There's something being demonstrated in the planet
-
within about 115 years of creation that Cain and Abel know
-
we're supposed to give to God. I'm gonna say that again.
-
We're supposed to give to God. And so Kane brought a sacrifice,
-
and Abel brought a sacrifice, and God had no regard for
-
Kane's. But he accepted Ables, and the
-
Lord speaks to Kane about this, he said.
-
Now listen, sin is crouching at your door.
-
He gave him instruction and correction on how to fix this
-
deal. He says.
-
Now listen, you can master. This means you can win.
-
I mean, this guy's falling, but the Lord's like you can, Based
-
upon what you know about me, you can live righteous enough to get
-
this right, just like your brother Abel did.
-
Are you hearing me? And that correction, Kane went
-
and told Abel about it, went and instruct said this is what the
-
Lord told me. And you know, it bothered him so
-
much being corrected, that he turned his offense of God
-
towards his brother. I'm gonna say that again.
-
He turned his offense of God towards his brother.
-
The reason why unity in the church is so difficult is
-
because so many people are actually offended with God and
-
they turn it on their brother. They start blaming their brother
-
for their problems and blaming their brother for why they can't
-
get ahead and blaming their brother why they can't get
-
somewhere. And look you didn't smile and
-
talk to me and all this stuff and they start musing this in
-
their mind. And so Kane raises up and kills
-
his brother. Now the Lord shows up and says
-
where's your brother? And Kane says, I don't know.
-
And my my brother's keeper. Now notice verse 10.
-
His response. Jesus's or the Lord's response?
-
He said. What have you done?
-
The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the
-
ground. I'm going to say that again.
-
The voice of your brother's blood, the voice of your
-
brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
-
Ephesians are are not Ephesian. Hebrews Chapter 11 verse four
Hebrews 11 chapter mention
-
gives us an insight again of this particular genesis.
-
Scripture says by faith Abel offered to God a better
-
sacrifice than Kane, the through which he obtained the testimony
-
that he was righteous. God testified about his gifts,
-
and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks.
-
Although he's what Dad, he still he still what spoke?
-
What spoke? The blood.
-
The blood. It was still speaking.
-
I said the blood was still speaking.
-
Are you? Hearing me, Oh my goodness,
-
listen to this. This author says this.
-
It says, in fact it was Abel's blood that convicted Kane for
-
what he had done and ushered in his sentence.
-
We read about this in Genesis, right?
-
And it says this that Abel's blood showed up in the courtroom
-
of heaven to give testimony to Kane's guilt.
-
Abel's blood showed up in the courtroom of heaven and gave
-
testimony. Gave what testimony?
-
Gave testimony? Say the blood speaks.
-
Come on, say the blood speaks Now, In today's churches, you're
-
not hearing a lot about the blood.
-
That's not in every church. There are plenty of churches out
-
there that are minister on the blood.
-
You're just not seeing them on social media.
-
They're just not getting the air time, they're not getting the
-
likes. They're getting suppressed in
-
their messaging because the algorithm works against the word
-
of truth. OK?
-
What you are getting is everybody who's talking just
-
nonsense, OK? The popular ones, the ones that
-
get all the likes because they're feeding into people's
-
flesh. And again, I told you at some
-
point I'm going to deal with the social media minister.
-
OK, I'm not going to pull them up personally.
-
I'm not going to show you who they are.
-
But I'm just going to talk about some of the things that they
-
say, because they're really it is their platform for false
-
doctrine. And the problem is, is that most
-
believers, because they're absolutely illiterate to the
-
word of God, they identify through their feelings what that
-
person says. And because they identify
-
through their feelings what that person said, because I
-
associate, I know I felt I feel that myself, then they allow
-
them to manipulate them with scripture, and as a result of
-
that, then people are using that scripture without ever studying
-
it out themselves. To determine if it's truth, the
-
way they're saying it is Hallelujah.
-
So. But the blood speaks.
-
Turn over to 2nd King's Chapter 9, Second King's Chapter 9 Thank
-
you Lord and 2nd King's Chapter 9 verse 24 and 25.
-
It says it this way. It's very interesting that I
-
need all these scriptures to literally be seen.
-
It's amazing the blood speaks Y'all need to make sure you're
-
in something you can see, because if there's ever been a
-
message to understand about the blood, it's this one.
-
And I'm not technically surprised that the computer went
-
down, but I do not like that it did because most of you show up
-
without any instrument or Bible and you're heavily dependent on
-
the screen. So if you have a phone, download
-
a Bible app right now. So that you can go with us.
-
At minimum, do that because I know everybody's sporting a
-
phone in here, at least Again, we miss so much.
-
If you're only hearing me, you have to let your eyes go across
-
the scripture when we're reading it.
-
Second Kings 924 to 26. As then Jay, who drew his bow
-
with his full strength and shot Joe Ram or Joe Ram.
-
However, you say this guy's name between his arms, which happens
-
to be the descendant of King Saul or King Ahab, Excuse me?
-
And the ERA went through his heart, and he sank in his
-
chariot. Then Jay.
-
Who said to his officer, take him up and cast him in, onto, or
-
into the property of the fellow Nabok, the Jesiralite.
-
For I remember when you and I were riding together after Ahab,
-
his father. That the Lord laid this Oracle
-
against him. Surely I have seen yesterday the
-
blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, says the Lord, And I
-
will repay you in this property, says the Lord.
-
Now then take and cast him into the property according to the
-
word of the Lord. So the blood of Naboth is
-
speaking. So let's go and get a back
-
story. You have to go back to First
1 Kings 21 chapter mention
-
Kings chapter 21 to find this. In First King chapter 21 verses
-
one through three it says now it came about after these things
-
that Nabot had a vineyard that was in Jezereel beside the
-
palace of Ahab. The king of Samaria and Ahab
-
spoke to him, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have
-
it for a vegetable garden, because it is close beside my
-
house, and I will give you a better vineyard than than it.
-
It in its place you, if you like, I will give you the price
-
of it in money. But Nabos said they have God
-
forbid me that I should give you the inheritance of my father.
-
Now we know that Jezebel is not real happy about this because he
-
shows up depressed the king. So verse 7, Same chapter,
-
Jezebel's wife said, Do you now reign over Israel?
-
Arise, eat bread, and let your heart be joyful.
-
I will give you the vineyard of Naboth.
-
So she wrote a letter and Ahab's name, sealed them with his seal,
-
and sent letters to the elders into the nobles who were living.
-
With Naboth in this in his city, she wrote in the letter saying
-
Proclaim a fast seat Naboth at the head of the people and see
-
two worthless men before him and let them testify against him
-
saying you curse God and the king then take him out and stone
-
him to death. So the government put a hit on
-
the citizen, made the document top secret.
-
So that nobody knew and they eliminated one of their own just
-
so the king could have a piece of property.
-
Are you hearing me? But first King, chapter 21,
-
verse 17. The Lord heard the blood.
-
Say the blood speaks when the word of the Lord came.
-
Verse 17 of the 21st chapter First kings, when the Lord the
-
Lord came to Elijah the Tish bite, saying, Arise, go meet
-
Ahab, king of Israel, who was in Samaria.
-
Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down
-
to take possession of it. You shall speak to him saying.
-
Thus says the Lord you have murdered, and also take him
-
possession. Are you hearing me?
-
And you shall speak to him saying, Thus says the Lord in
-
the place where the dogs lick up the blood of Naboth.
-
The dogs will lick up your blood, even yours.
-
So Naboth blood testified against Ahab and his wife
-
Jezebel in the courtroom of heaven.
-
Say the blood speaks. Then he goes down to verse 23.
-
He said of Jezebel has also has the Lord spoken saying the dogs
-
will eat Jezebel in the district of Jezereel?
-
Well, for this to take place, God anoints a man named Jay who
-
to become king of Israel after Ahab's death, and his son is on
-
the throne. And it says in Second Kings.
-
Back in Second Kings Chapter 9, verse seven, he said you shall
2 Kings 9 chapter mention
-
strike the House of Ahab, your master, and I'm, that I may
-
avenge the blood of my servants, the prophets, and the blood of
-
all the servants of the Lord at the hand of Jezebel.
-
So not only has the blood of Naboth cried out, but every
-
prophet that Jezebel killed. Their blood has made it to the
-
courtroom of heaven and has testified.
-
Say the blood speaks. Come on, say the blood speaks.
-
So we know we've already read that he shot the son of Ahab
-
with an arrow, went through his heart, died on the chariot, and
-
they took his body and threw it into the same field.
-
That not only did Naboth. Die.
-
But they also went and killed his sons as well.
-
They destroyed the inheritance, the line, so that no son could
-
raise up against them to claim ownership of the land that
-
Jezebel had murdered them to give to her husband.
-
Them jumped down to verse 33 of Second Kings 9.
-
Y'all doing all right. 3337 he said, throw her down.
-
This told my Jezebel, you know she got her face all painted up
-
and she saw uh Jay who show up. She goes, ah, you little
-
betrayer, you know, you the one who's brought the brought
-
treason to the throne. And he said, throw her down.
-
And so they threw her down, and some of her blood was sprinkled
-
on the walls and on the horses. And he trampled her under foot.
-
And when he came in, he ate and drank and said, see now to this
-
cursed woman and buried her, for she is a King's daughter.
-
And they went to bear here, but they found nothing more of her
-
than a skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hand.
-
Therefore they returned and told him, And he said, This is the
-
word of the Lord which he spoke by his servant Elijah.
-
Saying in the property of Jezebel the dog shall eat the
-
flesh of Jezebel and the corpse of Jezebel will be as dung on
-
the face of the field in the property of Jezebel.
-
So they cannot say this is Jezebel talking about.
-
Want to get your name get erased off of the planet?
-
Go ahead and keep doing things against the word of God and shed
-
innocent blood. Because the blood is speaking.
-
So let me just tell you this, There is no circumstantial
-
evidence in the courtroom of heaven.
-
There is no such thing as circumstantial evidence.
-
You know what circumstantial evidence is?
-
That is, there's no real eyewitness.
-
We do not have the smoking gun we see we were there when it
-
happened. We saw it take place.
-
We are eyewitnesses. We saw them do it.
-
We can testify, we can say we were there.
-
We saw it. And so circumstantial evidence
-
means that there's enough there that although we don't have the
-
smoking gun, we don't have the actual eyewitnesses.
-
And two or three at that. What we have is just enough to
-
conclude you were there. And we're calling it guilty,
-
although we can't prove it beyond the circumstantial
-
evidence. But when you get to Heaven's
-
court, that doesn't exist. Why?
-
Because every conviction. Is cause the blood speaks.
-
Do you understand? Let me say it this way.
-
The author of this particular book says it this way.
-
Oh my Mama, y'all doing all right, maybe I'll wait.
-
Revelation 69 and 10 says when the lamb broke the 5th seal, I
-
saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain.
-
Because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which
-
they had maintained. And they cried out with a loud
-
voice, saying, How long ago, Lord, holy and true, will you
-
refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who
-
dwell on the earth. Joel. 321 The Lord says, this I
-
will avenge their blood, which I have not avenge, for the Lord
-
dwells in Zion. So there's not one drop that
-
justice will not be served. Let me say it this way.
-
From the King's perspective, there is no injustice.
-
From the King's perspective, there is no injustice because
-
everything done will be dealt with.
-
Everything. Everything.
-
So you could go your whole life and never see something come to
-
pass. But don't think it's not coming
-
to pass. Don't think it's not coming to
-
pass. Don't think that justice will
-
not be served. No one is ever getting away with
-
anything. Ever, ever, ever, ever.
-
Ever. Ever.
-
I said ever. No one is ever getting away with
-
something because the blood is always talking.
-
I said. The blood is talking.
-
Do you know how many murders there's been, globally speaking?
-
That those voices have already made it to the courtroom of
-
heaven? They will be personal
-
testimonies. I was there.
-
Oh, yo. The blood.
-
And Naboth got in the stand and says I was there.
-
I was there when they pulled out the letter from the King.
-
Guess what He heard The letter being read right?
-
He knows what they said about him.
-
He knows that wasn't true. Are you hearing me?
-
And that blood enacted God to go into his mode of where he
-
determined who was the source who started this thing.
-
And he held him accountable. I said he held him accountable.
-
You would think that Jezebel got away with murder in the day we
-
live in today, in the last of the last days.
-
There is so much unrighteousness happening right now that it'll
-
make your head spin to be able to try to actually find justice
-
happening. In fact, the Bible tells us in
-
the end there will be what they call lawlessness.
-
You are going to hear of more and more cases of things taking
-
place that you'll never get a resolution, but if you know, the
-
blood speaks. Then you'll know there's a
-
courtroom in heaven and this isn't final.
-
Amen. Go think about it.
-
If you knew someone killed your child and it seems they were
-
getting away with it, but you know they're coming to court and
-
they're going to sit before the king.
-
Then you can say. Your day is coming.
-
You didn't get away with anything, I said.
-
You didn't get away with anything because you know how
-
many parents are wanting to see that person that did that to
-
their child received that sent? What is that?
-
There's closure for them. They feel like justice has been
-
served, that the wrong done to the innocence of their child has
-
now had a payment back for that. The person's paying the price
-
for their wrongdoing. Are you hearing me?
-
And I know that the blood speaking, I said the blood
-
speaking. I said the blood speaking.
-
Hebrews Chapter 12. There's no blood ever spilled
Hebrews 12 chapter mention
-
that doesn't speak. Even blood that never made it
-
out of the womb. The blood is speaking.
-
All right. Welcome back, Pastor.
-
Listen, I'm not here to be popular.
-
I'm here to deliver the word of the Lord and it's time for you
-
to understand the blood, because when you know the blood then
-
passion is not a problem. Hebrews chapter 12, verse 22
-
turn there. Hebrews 12/22 and 225 says this.
-
But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living
-
God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriad of angels, to the
-
General Assembly and the Church of the first born who are
-
enrolled in heaven, And to God the judge of all.
-
And to the spirits of the righteous made perfect.
-
And to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the
-
sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of April,
-
the blood. Speaks better.
-
Than the blood of Abel that speaks better than the blood of
-
Abel. Jesus's blood is speaking.
-
The blood of Jesus that's been poured out on the mercy seat is
-
speaking. So let's read this from this
-
author. If Jesus's blood speaks better
-
than Abel's blood, what is his blood saying?
-
What's Jesus's blood saying is that it overrules the
-
condemnation do us for our sin. For as we read Romans 81,
-
therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are
-
in Christ. Abel's blood showed up in the
-
courtroom of heaven to give testimony to Cain's guilt.
-
Jesus's blood testifies in the same courtroom so that we may
-
have forgiveness and pardon when we have trusted in him for the
-
salvation of our soul. Jesus's blood overrules the
-
accuser. Jesus's blood silences the
-
prosecution. Jesus's blood protects delivers,
-
empowers those who have placed faith in Him.
-
His blood is the power of His sacrifice, which operates today
-
on behalf of anyone who needs it places their faith in him to
-
receive it. Jesus's blood pronounces
-
judgment on Satan in the courtroom of heaven, and they
-
overcame him. By the blood of the lamb.
-
Why? Cause the blood is talking
-
today. The blood is testifying on your
-
behalf. The blood is saying no, no, no
-
Mr. Devil, they've been bomb paid for.
-
No, no, no Mr. Devil, you can't accuse them of that anymore.
-
I've paid that price. We can't even be in this
-
position without the blood. Because the Bible says it's
-
without. Without the shedding of blood,
-
there is no permission of sin. And here we are.
-
If we don't watch out, we are trying to live in a new and
-
better covenant. But in the old one, what do I
-
mean? Well, that means the high
-
priest. Well, Jesus is a high priest.
-
But they had a high priest, and the high priest would go in once
-
a year, right? And you make atonement for the
-
nation. They would shed the blood, put
-
it on the mercy seat so that it would bring protection.
-
I'm not going to get into a blood covenant class here, but
-
would do protection for the whole nation so that God could
-
continue to bless them and forgive them of all their own.
-
Believers today are constantly wanting to live life any way
-
they want to and come by once a year on Easter so that the high
-
priest can bless them but then live like they're in the world.
-
And say Grace has covered them really well.
-
Let's keep reading verse 24 again.
-
And to Jesus, the mediator, He's the mediator.
-
This is what's so awesome about Jesus.
-
Jesus died so that he could give us his nature.
-
We could become children of God again.
-
But he doesn't stay dead. He actually comes back alive to
-
make sure you get everything he said was yours.
-
Unlike in the natural, If someone leaves you in their last
-
will and testament and inheritance, well, some crooked
-
person could squander it or manipulate or do something and
-
keep it from you, and you may never know.
-
But Jesus actually came back alive and said no, no, no you
-
can't. No, I left them healing.
-
No, I left them prosperity. No, I left them joy.
-
No, I left them peace. No, I left them to to end.
-
The blood testifies. It's speaking on your behalf.
-
So he's the mediator of this new covenant and to and to the
-
sprinkle blood, which speaks better than the blood of able
-
verse 25. See to it that you do not refuse
-
him who was speaking. For if they did not escape when
-
they refused him, who warned them on earth, how much or much
-
less will we escape? Who turn away from him who warns
-
from heaven how it says much less?
-
The Western culture of Christianity has done a
-
disservice. To the blood because it has
-
cheapened it. It's basically says I can do
-
whatever I want to do because of the blood and because I have
-
grace now that I didn't work for Jack.
-
That I don't have to do anything once I'm a child of God anyway,
-
because the grace covers me. And there's plenty out there
-
today saying I can do what I want to do.
-
And if you try to tell me I have to do this, that and the other
-
you're under the law. Well, you are under a law.
-
If you actually read your Bible, it's called the law of the
-
spirit of life in Christ Jesus. That's in Romans.
-
That's new covenant. That's due to church.
-
But law's not a negative word. Law just means the way God
-
operates because you're still under.
-
Thou shalt not murder. You're still under.
-
Thou shalt not steal. You're still there.
-
It's the grace of God that puts you in the position so you don't
-
steal, and it's the grace of God that empowers you so that you
-
don't murder. In fact, it goes even closer.
-
It gets if the grace of God will keep you from hating your
-
brother, which is a form of murder anyway, look what it says
-
in Hebrews chapter 10, verse 26 to 29 says.
-
If we go on will sinning willfully after receiving the
-
knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains A sacrifice for
-
sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the.
-
Fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.
-
Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on
-
the testimony of two or three witnesses.
-
How much severe? How much severe?
-
How much severe? Next word Punishment.
-
This is New Testament book. How much severe punishment do
-
you think he will deserve, who has trampled under foot the Son
-
of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of his
-
covenant by which he was sanctified and has insulted?
-
The spirit of grace. Because the blood speaking, the
-
blood is on the mercy seat. Jesus's blood speaks louder than
-
the blood of April. So you can't say, well, Lord, I
-
can't help it. The blood saying you can.
-
Well, Lord, you know I just can't help the sin.
-
The Lord's. The blood says you can.
-
The blood says I delivered you from that I set you free from
-
that. I put my spirit in you.
-
The blood says I gave you my spirit, and my spirit is greater
-
in you than I mean, you know how people sing this stuff but yet
-
don't lift this stuff because they have no regard for the
-
blood. At least in the Old Covenant,
-
you got to feel it, I said. You got to feel it when you
-
brought your sacrifice, that lamb that you raised yourself
-
without spot or wrinkle, and you fed every day.
-
And then you brought them to the priest and you got put your hand
-
on it. Why, They cut his throat and
-
watch it bleed out. And then you see the blood.
-
All that was it. You watched it give up its life
-
and we've lost sight that Jesus Christ.
-
We all had our hands on Jesus. We were the ones that were
-
beating on him. We were the ones that were doing
-
all that, and we've lost sight of it.
-
How do I know? Because we're not passionate
-
about the things of God. We forgot to price, and we
-
forget that it's speaking that it's without excuse for us to be
-
casual, for us to be complacent, for us to be more concerned
-
about what's going on in the world than what's going on in
-
the church. We've cheapened it.
-
Why? And we've cheapened it with this
-
word, free. The blood's not free people.
-
It is a price. It is a gift to you, but it cost
-
Jesus his life. How many times do you give a
-
gift to someone that they just disregard and throw it away?
-
They don't even think of the sacrifice or the value.
-
This is why we go to Dollar Tree and and Dollar General and the
-
little one to five dollar place in Target and buy gifts for one
-
another. Because we know they really
-
don't value anything we give them anyway.
-
Because you really don't want to spend that much on someone
-
anyway. Look, I'm going to buy you a
-
house and pay your mortgage. Then you show up at their house
-
and it's trashed. We can probably go to a lot of
-
government housing right now and see that it looked pristine and
-
somebody subsidizing it. You all don't want to hear this.
-
OK? That's fine.
-
Because why we're so disconnected from the price,
-
we've forgotten about the blood. I mean, we think about the
-
blood. You're like, man, I'm going to
-
be right with God. I'm going to serve in his
-
church. I'm going to love him with my
-
whole heart, mind, soul and strength.
-
I mean, he poured everything out.
-
I mean, he gave it all for me. I mean his blood is talking
-
right now on my behalf. He is standing in the gaff for
-
me. He is the one testified.
-
It's his blood speaking on my behalf every day, talking about
-
my deliverance, talking about me.
-
His blood is talking. And you know what?
-
His blood will also say, His blood say, well, they don't
-
value me because obviously the blood can say they're trampling,
-
they're trampling, they're trampling on me.
-
No value. No value.
-
Most places are more concerned about being entertained than
-
they are being about receiving the word blood speaks.
-
I mean, think about Exodus. The last great sign.
-
Angels going to come by and kill the first born.
-
What do we do? Just put some blood on your
-
doorpost here to talk on your behalf.
-
I mean, I'm telling you, the blood will deliver you out of
-
all your trouble. Because it is speak on your
-
behalf every time the enemy comes to kill, steal and
-
destroy. If you'll have the blood, I
-
said. If you'll have a recognition of
-
the blood. If you understand that you got
-
to put your trust in the fact that the blood is the covenant
-
by which you are in, and it means everything to you, then
-
you can cause it to pass by. But most people want to be
-
outside the house. OK, the blood covered the house.
-
Who is the house? The church is the household of
-
God, but they want to be outside the church.
-
They want personal Jesus. Praise the Lord.
-
Turn over to First Peter so we can get you shouting.
-
Want you to shout a little bit? Get excited.
-
Hallelujah, the blood. You know what I love about God
-
is that he knows what he needs to say when He needs to say it.
-
I pray today that when you leave, you'll say, my gosh, the
-
cost. And the reason you overcome by
-
the blood of the Lamb is because it's talking about you today.
-
If you're not trampling it, because you cannot come to the
-
Kingdom of God and keep your will, meaning you do only what
-
you want to do, you have to put that down and take up his.
-
That's what you have to do. The Kingdom of God is not
-
something that you just enter into and then have no
-
responsibility to. It is the responsibility of
-
obedience. And you do that by faith.
-
And as you read the Word and grow on the word and learn the
-
word and study the Word, then you put yourself in remembrance
-
of the price that was paid for you first.
-
Peter chapter one verse 14 says this.
-
We'll go to verse 23, he says, as obedient children, do not be
-
conformed to the former lust which were yours in your
-
ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you be holy
-
yourselves also in all your behavior.
-
Because it is written, you shall be holy.
-
For I'm holy and don't get hung up on that phrase and go, well,
-
you know I'm not perfect. It's not asking you to be
-
perfect. It's asking you to be holy.
-
And holy means to be separated unto God.
-
That's what that means. That means you put him first.
-
That's what that means. And you understand any
-
imperfection about you. God's going to deal with that
-
when he needs to deal with that because he'll keep touching
-
spots in you because the blood is going to say, well, for me to
-
do this, to this and this and this with this individual, I
-
need to keep renewing their mind, keep it releasing all that
-
they are on the inside. Their spirit man's alive, but
-
they don't know how to release it like they should.
-
I mean, we haven't even hardly scratched the surface of Kingdom
-
of of Living. I mean, we have angels at our
-
charge that we're not even talking to.
-
I talked to him. I said minister spirits, you go
-
right now and you make deceased calm.
-
There's not a vehicle. I don't get on that.
-
I don't send my minister spirits out.
-
When I ride on my motorcycle I say I thank you Lord.
-
And my wife jumped on a scooter in Bermuda actually because our
-
trip, our little excursion didn't work.
-
So as a result of that we just jumped on a scooter and we took
-
off on the island, little narrow streets and I had to ride on the
-
left side and I was getting down and my wife was like slow down,
-
slow down. She first for the first, you
-
know 5 kilometers was like this. And then by the time we got
-
around the eye, she was like this with the phone.
-
So I gave her peace and comfort that I got this.
-
We're all right. By no means am I an expert, but
-
I am cautious, right? And I'm not driving too fast,
-
OK? But with that being said, we
-
were moving around, driving, taking in the scenery, right?
-
And I just passed angels and I said everybody sees me and I see
-
everybody well when I got on the ship, mate, with this particular
-
couple that we ate with a few times.
-
And we told him we got on a scooter and they were like, did
-
you, How was that? That was awesome.
-
Well, man, this one person was like, all jacked up.
-
They rode a scooter and wrecked and ran into the side of the
-
mountain. I'm like, wow, probably
-
shouldn't have used the scooter. Yes, two or three people had
-
gotten injured. One lady we saw was testing.
-
She was like. Yeah, I'm not doing it.
-
And didn't even do it. And I was like, that's the will
-
of God for your life. You really don't need to get on
-
this thing. I mean, it's only like a 50CC
-
scooter, man. This thing's not really fast.
-
Anyway, anyway, with that being said, God protects, but there's
-
many Kingdom things we're not even doing because we're too
-
fixated on dying and going to heaven.
-
Instead of letting the the blood speak to for us and on our
-
behalf so that we overcome in this life, we overcome him by
-
the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.
-
The blood is speaking on our behalf.
-
We have an overcoming confession because the blood is already in
-
the courtroom and has told the accuser of the brethren.
-
Listen, the Devil can't even come and even mention your name
-
unless you're a trampler, because unlike Job, you can't
-
use Job anymore because we're not living in the days of Job.
-
The devil doesn't have access to heaven like he did because he
-
has stripped him. The only way he could ever make
-
it there about someone is someone that's in his domain.
-
In Job, everyone was in his domain.
-
But now that Jesus has whipped and stripped him of his power,
-
if he tries to come to the court door and talk about you, if the
-
blood says there is nothing there, he is absolutely
-
innocent. We won't even give you an
-
appointment with the judge because the Bible says the devil
-
now roars around like a lie seeking whom he may devour, not
-
that he can just devour. See, you don't even know who you
-
are. The devil can't go to the Lord
-
anytime he wants to and talk about me and accuse me because
-
the blood says what do you have? Well, I want to talk to you
-
about pastor. Earl, he's done nothing wrong.
-
What do you mean the bloods talking?
-
Because he's forgiving my sin. As far as the east is from the
-
yeah, the blood can't bring up my past, nor does the blood
-
listen to the past. The only way he has access is
-
because I'm creating new things through willfully sinning.
-
But if I live holy in all my behavior, cause the blood, then
-
guess what? How's he going to accuse 'cause
-
I overcome him all the time, the bloods talking on my behalf.
-
And then I'm just speaking the word.
-
Only I'm living and doing the word.
-
There is no court day in heaven where the devil is accusing me.
-
Oh my goodness, you cannot use Job in this new covenant
-
dispensation. In fact, if you actually read
-
Joe Wright, the devil didn't even know what a yell he had.
-
He just knew he had something. It's like, well, let's talk
-
about your boy job. He said you protected him
-
because he knew, right? And he says, look, I mean, it's
-
in your power. What power?
-
The stuff you have dominion over the animals.
-
Now what? Demanded Adam.
-
Have. Over all the animals, every
-
creeping thing that creeps. But you have dominion over those
-
things. That's why he could destroy
-
that. Y'all don't want to hear this.
-
That's fine because so many people are so messed up thinking
-
God did that to Job. God didn't do that to Job.
-
In fact, when he came and said skin for skin, he's like true.
-
He is in an earth suit. I did make that out of the dust
-
of the earth, and you do have to mean over all the earth.
-
So I get it. You're going to put something on
-
him. But let me tell you where your
-
limitation is. You can't put something on him
-
that would require his spirit man to leave his body, because
-
he's never done anything. The wages of sin is death, and
-
he's done nothing that is authorized him to die.
-
And he did not curse. God didn't do it.
-
And after about nine months, some scholars, the most they
-
think is 18. Most believe it was only nine
-
months. God gave him double, Gave him
-
double, gave him double. This is why I know the Lord
-
didn't give and take away, because most people never get
-
double when they get. Through the trial, they ain't
-
got double. They just went, praise the Lord,
-
I made it through. All right, let's go on 1st 17.
-
If you address as father the one who impartially judges according
-
to each one's work. Conduct yourselves in fear
-
during the time of your stay on earth.
-
I conduct myself in fear, meaning the fear of God.
-
Man. He paid the ultimate price.
-
It's the blood, and I hold that in respectful awe.
-
How could I ever willfully try to do something against his word
-
when the blood's talking on my behalf?
-
I don't care how you make me feel.
-
I don't care what you say about me.
-
I don't care what the world says about me.
-
How in the world could I ever respond in a way ungodly when
-
the blood's talking? The price was too great.
-
Why would I ever want to jump back into my own will and tell
-
you what I think about this when the blood's talking?
-
Why would I want to resurrect me?
-
When I've been crucified with Christ and the blood's talking
-
because my blood's done nothing, but his blood's done everything,
-
why would I sit and entertain gossip, slander, when the
-
blood's talking? Why would I not correct someone
-
who's willfully sinning? When the blood's talking, why
-
wouldn't I? I'm like, look bro, I don't want
-
you trampling. You need to quit trampling.
-
Quit trampling. But you don't know how.
-
I don't care how you feel. The blood has paid the price.
-
You can live and act a different way.
-
There's a higher living now. You're not supposed to live in
-
your humanity. You're supposed to live as a
-
child of God, and you can, because the greater ones on the
-
inside, I said. The greater ones on the inside,
-
I said the greater ones on the inside.
-
Hallelujah. Knowing that you were not
-
redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your
-
futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with
-
the precious blood as of a lamb unblemished and spotless.
-
The blood of Christ, the blood of the King.
-
Christ means King. It's the blood of the king.
-
It's the King's blood. It's the King's blood, for he
-
was foreknown before the foundation of the world.
-
But he appeared in these last times for the sake of you, who
-
through him or believers in God, who raised him from the dead and
-
gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God, since
-
you have, in obedience to the truth, purified your souls for a
-
sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from
-
the heart. For you have been born again,
-
not of seed, which is perishable, but imperishable,
-
that is, through the living and enduring word of God.
-
Aren't you glad you've been purchased by the blood?
-
Come on. Aren't you glad you've been
-
purchased by the blood? Aren't you glad the blood, the
-
blood, the blood speaking on your behalf?
-
The blood speaking on your behalf.
-
The blood speaking on your behalf.
-
So let's. Be the church that's holy
-
righteous. Separated unto God and never
-
give an occasion to our flesh ever again because the blood's
-
talking. The minute that flesh starts to
-
talk to you need to say, hold on a second, I need to get to the
-
courtroom in heaven and talk to the blood concerning the
-
situation because I'm pretty sure he's delivered me from what
-
you're asking me to do. Pretty confident that I don't
-
have to yield to that anymore. I think the blood's talking.
-
And the blood paid the price for that.
-
Anything that can ever come your way.
-
The blood has paid the price. It's paid the price.
-
So why couldn't you step out of your seat and come down when the
-
blood's been shed? Well, I didn't feel it.
-
I don't care because I can tell you right now, not every service
-
of Anchor Fade Church is their call to come down.
-
Now. Some people come down all the
-
time. If that's what they want to do,
-
they can. But when there?
-
Becomes a call of action when you start saying man the blood,
-
Is it too much for me right now to step out because I'm not
-
carrying a cross on this wall right now?
-
A real one beating so bad you can't tell I'm a man.
-
Crown of Thorns stuck on my head.
-
No, but I will carry this cross and that is, I'll do what God
-
says because the bloods paid the price.
-
These things are actually just simple ways in service for God
-
to train us to yield to His voice.
-
To yield to his voice. They're just actually exercises
-
for us to yield to the voice of God.
-
Because I'm telling you, Pastor Marcus is not going to ask you
-
to come down every service if you've been with us more than
-
five times. Now, you know that's true, but
-
sometimes they'll say you got to shout, and because of the blood
-
you can shout. Well, you should dance.
-
Because of the blood, you should dance.
-
I mean, because of the blood. It'd make you get up at your
-
seat. I mean, the blood will make you
-
show up to service early, waiting on hearing the voice of
-
God through the gift that he placed within the body called
-
the apostle and pastor. Are you hearing me?
-
It'll make you get passionate because the blood's talking.
-
I want to be an overcomer. How about you?
-
Right. Can't overcome without the
-
blood, I said. Can't overcome without the
-
blood. Hallelujah, the blood will get
-
rid of your tradition. Get rid of your faults,
-
doctrine. Bloody get it all straight.
-
If you're here today and you've never made Jesus the Lord of
-
your life, the blood before the foundation of the world was
-
ready to speak on your behalf. The blood's talking for
-
everyone, and there will be many on that day that the blood will
-
have said I paid the price for you.
-
Where you're going, you didn't have to, and I spoke to you.
-
On many occasions that you need to repent and accept Jesus as
-
your Lord. And the blood was talking, but
-
you said no. And he'll say depart, and he'll
-
cash you into the lake of fire, which is the second death, not
-
because he wants you there, but because you want to go, because
-
you didn't listen to the blood speaking.
-
But today is the day of salvation.
-
Today's the day of the Kingdom. Today's the day, the blood says.
-
Before you ever came into the planet.
-
I knew you were coming. I knew what you would do.
-
And I've paid your price. If you'll make me Lord, I'll
-
wipe it clean. Thank you so much for listening
