Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast
-
from st. Augustine Florida.
-
Now, enjoy this message. Last week we started talking
-
about separate. Okay.
-
And it was Resurrection Sunday. And you know, today we're going
-
to finalize that message. What was initially in my heart
-
as I began to study that more. I'm like, man, I can't even
-
touch that today. And God knows what he's doing
-
because he himself said, don't touch that till next week
-
because there's more I need to download in you concerning that,
-
but we went from Matthew Chapter 13, last week versus 47 to 50,
Matthew 13 chapter mention
-
and I'm just going to do a quick little high.
-
Highlight for Jesus. And again, the Kingdom of Heaven
-
is like a Dragnet Dragnet, which was cast into the sea and
-
gathered fish of every sword when it was full men, dragged it
-
up on the beach and set down and shorted out the good fish into
-
baskets but the worthless ones they were thrown away.
-
So we'll be at the clothes and consummation of the age.
-
The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from the
-
righteous. Those who are upright and in
-
right standing with God and cast them, the wicked into the
-
furnace of Fire will, there will be weeping and wailing grinding
-
of teeth. We talked about separate means
-
this, it means to mark off from others by boundaries to limit
-
the separate in a bad sense. It means to exclude in a good
-
sense. It means to set apart for
-
purpose. So separate has a positive and
-
negative side to it. The positive side to that is
-
that if you separate for a purpose then, Separate turns
-
into holiness. Because to be, holy is to be
-
separated unto God. Holiness is not something that
-
you obtain in and of yourself. Holiness is something that God
-
sets you in, and then you are to maintain.
-
Are you hearing me? Because once you're born again,
-
your made in the righteousness of God in Christ in your spirit.
-
Now, the problem is in the church, a lot of times we don't
-
teach of the threefold nature of man, because man is not just a
-
spirit, he has a soul and he lives in a body.
-
And so the spirit of the man that separated are excluded cut
-
off from God because of sin, Jesus Christ, came and died pays
-
the price, his blood that makes atonement for us so that we can
-
have an opportunity to be born again.
-
Well when were born again, it's not a natural birth and our mind
-
itself doesn't actually change but our spirit becomes brand
-
new, it becomes a new creature. What in Christ and that Spirit
-
man is now made righteous. Righteous is not a religious
-
word, it means right standing with the governing Authority.
-
Now, our spirit is in, right? Standing with God, who is king
-
of all Are you hearing me? And so then our spirit becomes
-
separated unto God. It's made.
-
Holy, but once that takes place, then the third person of the
-
godhead. He's called the Holy Spirit, he
-
will come and move in and live inside your skin suit or your
-
body and he will bear witness with your spirit that your child
-
of God that you've been made righteous that he did this.
-
He's made you this way. Way through his death burial and
-
Resurrection. Your spirit man is now alive,
-
not separated from God. But separated to God.
-
Can I get an amen? Now, it is the work of your new
-
spirit and the Holy Ghost. Who lives within you to start
-
changing your soul realm and get your body in alignment with the
-
spirit. This is why the Bible tells us
-
to renew our minds by the washing of the word or the
-
reading of the word are renewing.
-
Our minds through the reading of the word, the studying of the
-
word, because then it allows our mind to get Sanctified.
-
Our spirit is in sanctification, it's been synced, but our minds,
-
not our mind has to be renewed and it's our responsibility.
-
Now that we are alive and our spirit can hear God and wants to
-
hear God and wants to live for God that we must develop it.
-
Are you hearing me the Bible calls us when we're a new
-
creature in Christ, a babe in Christ it's a baby.
-
Are you hearing me and a baby wants to be ultimately trained
-
to walk to talk and to be able to go to the bathroom by itself.
-
Amen. It wants to eat wants to dress
-
in there the whole time, but you have to train it.
-
There's a training that takes place and those who are not
-
trained, takes longer to develop, and it's not because
-
it's not in there to develop, but it is, we have a preschool
-
here and some parents, wait longer to train their children
-
to go to the bathroom on their own, some come to our preschool
-
with And you know, there are 12 months and they're already going
-
to the bathroom some there, three or four and they want to
-
bring one like we can't even put them in our class because you've
-
not yet potty trained them. Just go ahead and say, Amen.
-
Anyway, okay. It's not because they couldn't
-
have been trained earlier. Is that a lot of times we choose
-
to let certainty but they've got to develop the same thing
-
happens to us once we are born again, we must develop.
-
So you could be 53, like me and be undeveloped in your mind.
-
My alright still be a babe and one of the teenagers that go to
-
the current are more mature spiritually in their soul realm.
-
Then you are in yours even though you're 53 years old
-
because if you don't train yourself to not be led by your
-
feelings but by the spirit. Amen.
-
And so, we now have the responsibility to separate or
-
disconnect our soul and body from the world.
-
We are to limit put Boundaries sin doesn't own me anymore.
-
The law of sin and death is no longer my law.
-
I'm not bound to it. I'm not subject, I master it.
-
Amen. I've been bought with a price
-
and now I'm to come over and to be able to live for God.
-
Continually last week, we talked about how we are not to have
-
mismatched alliances with things of the world.
-
We talked about last week how that once we I've come over to
-
God, we're not to go back into sloppy living.
-
We're supposed to say separated from it, and Paul, when we
-
concluded last week in Romans chapter 6, said, shall we
Romans 6 chapter mention
-
continue to sin? So that Grace may increase or
-
bound? And his answer was, May it never
-
be, because if you've acknowledged that you're dead,
-
That I died and I've been raised up with Christ.
-
Well then, how can he, who died still participate in that?
-
Which he's died too. So God has separated you from
-
that, which separated you You no longer have to be a sinner saved
-
by grace. You can be a believer, you were
-
a sinner. You've been saved by grace
-
through faith. Now you're a Believer and you
-
are separated from that which separated you you can live.
-
Holy on all three aspects of your life in your spirit, soul
-
and body. Amen.
-
You can do it. Many of you did listen to your
-
body today, when it said, stay in the bed because it was
-
talking to you, how many was it talking to you?
-
This morning said, just stay in the bed.
-
Yeah, look at that. Talking to, you know, what's
-
crazy about that is that it did not win.
-
Apparently, you had dominion over your body and you said, no,
-
you gonna get up. We have a pointed time with the
-
King this morning. We need to go here from the King
-
this morning and we're not going to lay around here.
-
And be lazy and get into sloppy sleeping.
-
When my spirit man, neat wants to be fed and my mind needs to
-
be renewed. So you overcame your body's
-
talking, you overcame. Well, you understand you can do
-
that in any temptation. I said any Temptation you could
-
overcome you can overcome every man in this room that's working
-
somewhere and they some female comes and makes a pass at you.
-
You can overcome You can resist the temptation.
-
You don't have to fall into it. Well, I'm just a guy can't help
-
it. Yeah, you can't because you're
-
not a dog. I said you're not a dog.
-
Quit sniffing around like someone's in heat and you can't
-
help yourself. No, you can.
-
Are you hearing me? Yeah, you could put your phone
-
down so that you're not looking at stuff, you can get it
-
together. You can take control of your
-
mind. But it takes you working
-
together with Christ because the minute you'll yield Christ will
-
Empower, you Grace will be activated in your life and
-
you'll be able to overcome some phenomenal things.
-
So this thing separate cept is serious business, especially
-
when you're separated from God is serious business.
-
So, turn over to Matthew chapter 26, we really do not understand
Matthew 26 chapter mention
-
seriously nobody in the room including myself, we really do
-
not have enough revelation of what it means to be.
-
Separated from God. We really don't because if we
-
did, we wouldn't put up with it one bit.
-
Wouldn't do it. I said we wouldn't do it.
-
All right, let's see what Jesus said in the garden.
-
Jesus said in the garden and Genesis 26 starting in verse 36.
-
He said this, that Jesus came and said, came with them to a
-
place. This is the garden is said to
-
his disciples sit here while I go over there and pray, and he
-
took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be
-
what grieved And distressed. Jesus was what grieved and
-
distressed. This is a very difficult,
-
emotional time in his life, then he said to them, my soul is
-
deeply grieved to the point of death.
-
Remain here and keep watch with me.
-
And he went a little Beyond them and fell on his face and prayed
-
saying, O my father. If it is possible let this cup
-
pass from me yet. Not as I will but as you will
-
when Bible scholar said that it was so deep on him that he said
-
he went a little further, he only took a couple steps and the
-
and the amount of pressure That was on him.
-
He just fell to the ground. He couldn't even stand up.
-
Couldn't even stand up. Verse 40 and when he came to his
-
disciples, he found them sleeping and said to Peter.
-
So you men could not keep watch with me for one hour.
-
How do you think that sounded think it was cute.
-
Things Jesus said gentlemen, I can't believe you can't sleep.
-
Right, I mean he's already distressed at the point of
-
death. His soul is completely grieved.
-
He's at this point that any he he would love to not do.
-
What's about to happen? And is looking for an amendment.
-
He's looking for the king to have an amendment to declare
-
another way. Much like what took place with
-
Mordecai? And Esther, the king, decreed,
-
the Jews are going to die. And they're like, man, we need
-
an amendment and the King says, I cannot change.
-
You're going to die, but I can give you the ability to defend
-
yourself on that day, and if you defend yourself and live, then
-
whomever you kill, who comes to kill.
-
You will not be murder. It will be self-defense and so
-
an amendment was enacted by the king so that when the day
-
arrived for the Jews to be destroyed and their enemy did
-
come after them, they defended themselves and routed their
-
enemy because the king gave them another way.
-
Can you hear me? Jesus is appealing to the great
-
king if there's any other way. Let it pass but not my will,
-
your will be done. So he comes to Peter and then
-
they're sleeping. I can just imagine that he
-
probably didn't sound super great.
-
When he said this, he goes in verse 41, keep watching and
-
praying that you may not enter into temptation.
-
The spirit is willing willing, but the flesh is weak.
-
And when he went again a second time and prayed saying, father
-
If this cup, if this cannot pass, unless I drink it, your
-
will be done again. He came and found them sleeping.
-
For their eyes were heavy and he left them again and went away
-
and prayed at third time saying the same thing once more.
-
So what did he say? The third time if there's any
-
other way let this cup pass but not my will your will be done.
-
Verse 45 said, then he came to a decision After the said to them,
-
are you still sleeping and resting?
-
Behold the hour is at hand and the son of man is being betrayed
-
into the hands of Sinners, get up, let us be going.
-
Behold, the one who betrays me is at hand, Did Jesus know what
-
was going to happen? Sure.
-
Because he's read the prophets. Jesus said on a road after his
-
resurrection where he encountered a couple of
-
disciples, he began to show them through the law and the prophets
-
himself. This means, Jesus fulfilled, all
-
that was written concerning him through the law and the
-
prophets, he as a child, when he got up underneath the law and
-
began to study It as all good Jewish people did from the
-
nation, he's from the tribe of Judah.
-
He studied this thing. It was a requirements, their
-
Heritage, their tradition, then he had the, the prophets he were
-
able to receive and read them. Well, don't, you know, he came
-
across Isaiah's letter. And Isaiah's letter starting in
-
verse 3 of the 53rd chapter it says this.
-
He was despised and forsaken of men.
-
A man of what sorrows and acquainted with grief and like
-
one from whom men hide their face.
-
He was despised and we did not esteem him.
-
Surely our griefs, he himself bore and our sorrows.
-
He carried yet we ourselves esteemed him stricken smitten.
-
Smitten of God and Afflicted, but he was pierced through for
-
our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities.
-
The chastisement of our well-being fell upon him and by
-
his scourging, we are healed. All of us like sheep.
-
Have gone astray each. One of us turn to his own way,
-
but the Lord caused the iniquity of all of us to fall on him.
-
He was oppressed and he was afflicted yet, he did not open
-
his mouth. Like a lamb that is led to
-
slaughter like a sheep. That is silent before it's
-
Shearer's. He did not open his mouth by
-
oppression and judgment. He was taken away and as and as
-
for his generation who considered that he was cut off
-
out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my
-
people, to whom the stroke was due.
-
His grave was assigned with the wicked men yet.
-
He was with a rich man in his death.
-
Death because he had done no violence nor was there any
-
deceit in his mouth, but the Lord was pleased to crush.
-
Him putting him to grief if he would render himself as a guilt
-
e offering He will see his offspring, he will prolong his
-
days and the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in his
-
hands. As a result of the anguish of
-
his soul, he will see it and be satisfied by his knowledge.
-
The righteous one. My servant will justify the
-
many. He will bear their iniquities.
-
Therefore, I will allot him a portion with the great and he
-
will divide the beauty among the strong because He poured out
-
himself to death and was numbered with the transgressors
-
yet. He himself bore the sin of many
-
and interceded seated for the transgressors.
-
I'm sure Jesus read this Prophet.
-
I know he reading because he quoted in Luke 4:18.
-
He said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me for he has anointed
-
me now that's Isaiah chapter, 61 eight chapters.
-
After this chapter, Jesus. Jesus found himself.
-
He knew By revealed to him by the spirit of who he was and his
-
assignment to the Earth, he is Lord of all.
-
But he came to be savior, he came to save Humanity.
-
He came to provide the way that we could get out of the dead of
-
Adam. And come into The Marvelous
-
Light and become children of God.
-
Once again, second Corinthians 5:21 said it this way.
-
He who made, he made him who knew no sin to be sin, y on our
-
behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
-
What bothered Jesus in the garden.
-
What was it? What was it?
-
That was causing him so much. Anguish such issues.
-
Is it? The beating was it just the
-
physical challenges he was about to go through?
-
I mean, I'll be honest with you, if I do that I was fixing to get
-
beaten so bad. You couldn't tell I was a man,
-
I'd that would cause me some grief.
-
There's no doubt about that and I'm sure Jesus himself.
-
Wasn't thrilled about that action, but that did not give
-
him the greatest discomfort. I said it did not give him the
-
greatest discomfort. Why?
-
Because the Lord was with him during the be, you could not
-
take the beating Jesus Took without the anointing present,
-
couldn't have done it. This gentleman, this guy
-
anointed of God steps up, it is falsely accused of things just
-
because they wanted to kill him. And then once they determine
-
that, he has his first Physical altercation is when he makes the
-
statement and they talk to him slap him because they said I
-
can't believe you're talking to a high priest that way.
-
Then from there as he begins to say I am and they're saying
-
blasphemy, then they handed him over to the Romans and the
-
Romans who happen to have be a whole cohort or you could say it
-
this way. A centurion had a group of
-
people that they probably numbered anywhere from 600 to
-
2000. Of a company that grab Jesus
-
Roman soldiers, once he was turned over and they said
-
member, they stripped him, they put a robe around him.
-
They tied up a crown of thorns. Why?
-
Because they are going to try him as a king, not as a
-
religious leader. And you understand Romans are
-
not well if you think you're a king above their King, now their
-
King is Caesar. So they Others who would even
-
try to identify as the king or even with Rome, those kings saw
-
themselves as gods. And so they put that crown of
-
thorns on his head and they put a robe around him and then they
-
took a staff and used it as his Sceptre and then the Roman
-
soldiers, one by one would come by and take that staff and hit
-
him on the head. They would pull on his beard one
-
by one. if they're 600 men, that's 600 blows If it was two
-
thousand men, it was 2000, bulb blows.
-
But this is not to mention the scourging that he had to endure,
-
where the Roman soldiers took, the cat of nine, tails, and had
-
bones and glass, and different sharp objects that they would
-
interlace between all of the leather, and they would be able
-
to hit his back and strip the flesh off of him.
-
You understand, this thing just didn't stay on his back, it
-
would come around to the front. It would hit the side of your
-
face. I mean wherever it came in.
-
They were so proficient as torturers that they could whip a
-
man within a breath of his life. And stop.
-
So he would stay alive then. According to the Greek scholar
-
Rick Renner, he said, during the scourging after they would rip
-
his back open, in order to stop the blood loss.
-
They would because he would be in like, a little pit where they
-
would have his hands up on a pole.
-
And they would begin to whip at him not like The Passion of
-
Christ, but it would, because blood would be all filled up in
-
the bottom of this. You little trench that they had
-
built, then they would take some salt.
-
And throw it up into the wounds. No man.
-
Without the anointing could have endured and yet after all that
-
he was still able to carry his own cross for a little while
-
before he became so exhausted, he couldn't carry it.
-
Wow. Are you hearing me all the while
-
the Lord was with him, I said was with him.
-
So when Jesus is recalling this this is not the issue.
-
That causes him. Great distress.
-
It's because a man who knew no sin became our sin.
-
See you understood sin, did something something that he's
-
never experienced. In fact, let me give you an
-
account of the issue of man, even man is Holy Meek, faithful
-
obedient still has an issue because he has fallen In Exodus
Exodus 33 chapter mention
-
chapter 33, Moses. The man, the prophet who saw God
-
face to face, the Bible says, in one sense, his glory would come
-
down, he would speak to him face-to-face.
-
He would be able to hear him and when I say that he would, he
-
would talk to him plainly, he wouldn't do it in riddles or
-
different things. He would just clearly converse
-
with him. And there is a time here that
-
Moses has been in the presence of God.
-
So much that Now, he's gotten Bold And he says, Show Me Your
-
Glory. He said, I pray you starting in
-
chapter 33 verses 18 to 23 said, I pray, you show me your glory
-
and he said I myself will make all my goodness pass before you
-
and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you, and I will
-
be gracious to whom. I will be gracious and I will
-
show compassion on whom I will show compassion, but he said you
-
cannot see my face for no, man can see me.
-
And and live Then the Lord said behold there's a place by me.
-
There is a place by me and you shall stand there on that rock
-
and it will come about while my glorious passing by that.
-
I will put you in the cleft of The Rock and cover you with my
-
hand. Until I have what passed by
-
then. I will take my hand away and you
-
will see my back, but my face shall not be seen.
-
Here's someone who has been in the presence of God.
-
I mean the glory of God to the 11 that when he comes down from
-
the mountain his face would shot.
-
Yeah the Lord says if you actually saw me you were in my
-
physical presence, you die. You would die is much as I've
-
done to be able to have this relationship with you, to be
-
able to walk in this manner with you.
-
You still can't see me because you're unclean.
-
Come on. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
-
Jesus was concerned about this moment, the psalmist in Psalms
-
88 verses 1 through 7 and then we'll jump down to verse 14,
-
through 16. You know, Jesus read this song.
-
And it reminded him of the day that would come.
-
It says this Lord, the god of my salvation, I've cried, I cried
-
out by day, and in the night, before you let my prayer come
-
before you incline your ear to My Cry For My Soul has had
-
enough troubles. He says, and my life has
-
approached. She'll, I am counted among those
-
who go down to the pit. I have become like a man without
-
strength abandoned among the dead.
-
Like the slain who lie in the grave, who you no longer
-
remember? And they are cut off from your
-
hand, you have put me in the lowest pit in dark places in the
-
depths your wrath has rested upon me.
-
And you have Afflicted me with all your ways, verse 14?
-
Why Lord? Why do you reject my soul?
-
Why do you hide your face from me?
-
I was miserable and about to die from my youth on, I suffered
-
your tears, I grow. Weary you're burning anger has
-
passed over me. Your tears have destroyed me.
-
Jesus. Was not concerned about the
-
grave. when we think about, Jesus in The Garden and we're
-
like, man. Jesus fixing to get beat but God
-
was with him. Jesus is going to go to the
-
Grave. but that wasn't as concerned because Jesus himself
-
said this listen, He said. Now, I'm going to die. by the
-
hands of the Pharisees and the scribes, but on the third day,
-
but on the third day, I said on the third day, I'll be raised
-
up. I said I'll be raised up, but on
-
the third day, I'll be raised up.
-
Three days in the grave. Do you know what happened in the
-
grave? Most won't know what happened in
-
the grave because they've not actually read the Bible.
-
They're assuming what took place in the grave, but Jesus tells us
-
exactly what happened when he was in the grave.
-
Look what he says on the cross and Luke chapter 23 verses 42
-
43. Jesus says this, but on the
-
other but the other answered, this is the thief.
-
Now there's two thieves, right? And both of them have been
-
Railing at Jesus. Running him down like everybody
-
else. Curse him like everybody else
-
but along the way, one had revelation.
-
And the one who didn't have Revelation was yelling at Jesus
-
and then the one who had Revelation says this, but the
-
other answering rebuked in the other Thief.
-
He said, do you not even fear God?
-
Since you are under the same sentence of condemnation for we
-
indeed are suffering justly for. We are receiving what we deserve
-
for our Deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.
-
I let me stop right there. Isaiah said that, he would be a
-
guilt offering. That is a better translation
-
than many other translation that says, he's an offering for sin,
-
although a guilt offering was for sin, but a guilt offering.
-
Leviticus chapter 4 going through to chapter 6 describes,
Leviticus 4 chapter mention
-
what a guilt offering was for because Leviticus for talked
-
about a sin offering and Leviticus for the sin offering
-
always was in a context of sinning unintentionally.
-
Meaning, you found yourself in a sin, you didn't really realize
-
it, but it's there and now you need to do an offering, but a
-
guilt offering. A guilt offering means I know I
-
did it. I know it and you had to then
-
pass your guilty verdict over to the sacrifice.
-
The sacrifice was to Bear your guilt.
-
Although the sacrifice was blameless without spot, it was
-
not guilty, it hadn't, it was no reason for it to die.
-
Should not die. It should live but if bore your
-
guilt It bore your guilt and this guy realizes this man is
-
our guilt offering. We're guilty, but he's not.
-
And he gets Revelation. All of the things that I've
-
heard concerning the day, you would come.
-
You are taking my guilt, my shame, my verdict, and he goes
-
on, and he was saying, verse 20, 42 Jesus.
-
Remember me? When you come into your kingdom
-
and he said to him, look what Jesus said, truly.
-
I say to you. What's that next word?
-
What's that? Next word?
-
What's that? Next word?
-
What's that? Next word?
-
What's that next word? Today?
-
You will be with who, who? Who's me?
-
Whose me in? Where was Jesus?
-
Going that day. The paradise.
-
There's a Bible talk about Paradise.
-
Well sure. It does.
-
The bible talks about paradise and Luke chapter 16.
Luke 16 chapter mention
-
In Luke chapter 16, it talks about Paradise.
Luke 16 chapter mention
-
The place that Jesus would be today with that thief because
-
that Thief has recognized that, he's the guilt offering.
-
He's the one who can save. He's the Messiah.
-
He's the savior of the world, he's the lamb.
-
That was slain. And look what it says here in.
-
Luke, 16, starting in verse 19. Now there was a rich man, this
-
is not a parable because Jesus used actual names.
-
He does not start this account with the kingdom of God is like
-
or there's a parable that Jesus spoke in a parable this as an
-
actual event that occurred these were actual people that lived
-
says now there was a rich man and he was so bitterly dressed
-
in purple and fine linen, joyfully living a splendid,
-
splendid Door and Splendor everyday and a poor man named
-
Lazarus, was late at the gate do not be confused with the lashes.
-
That was raised on the fourth day, covered with sores and
-
longing to be fed with the crumbs that were falling from
-
the rich man's table. Besides even the dogs were
-
coming and licking his sores. Now, the poor man died and was
-
carried away by the angels to who Abraham's bosom, Abraham's
-
bosom is Paradise. And the rich man also died and
-
was buried. Notice, it didn't say Moses's
-
bosom. Okay, doesn't say Moses is bosom
-
because why there's a promise before the law was written?
-
And again, the law is just revealing that man needs to be
-
able to believe God and that his ways are corrupt and he's in
-
need of a savior. But there was a promise made to
-
a man named Abram. That received the name Abraham,
-
a father of many nations. I'll make you.
-
So he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom and
-
the rich man, also died and was buried in where That's the
-
grave. He lifted up his eyes being in.
-
What? What was he in and saw Abraham
-
far away? And Lazarus in his bosom.
-
And he cried out, said, Father, Abraham have mercy on me and
-
send Lazarus so that he may dip, the tip of his finger in water,
-
and cool off my tongue for. I am in agony in this Flame And
-
he goes on but Abraham said, child remember that during your
-
life, you received your good things and likewise Lazarus has
-
bad things. Now he is being comforted here
-
and you are in agony, Agony. And besides all this between us
-
say between us between us and you, there is a great Chasm
-
fixed so that those who wish to come over here to you will not
-
be able even in the grave. At this time, those in Paradise
-
long to get those beyond the chasm out.
-
But notice those that are in agony.
-
Their first thought is not for others.
-
But for their own selfish desire, send him over so he can
-
dip his tongue in water and cool my tongue.
-
It is an until Abraham reveals that we can't go across that
-
none may cross over from here to us.
-
That later on he said sin Lazarus back.
-
I got five brothers worse than me.
-
And Abraham said, listen, if they don't receive from the law
-
and the prophets, they will not receive even if a man is raised
-
from the dead. Are you hearing me?
-
Jesus said today, you will be with me.
-
We're in Paradise. In Paradise.
-
Now, in Paradise they weren't in torment.
-
So, what is Jesus problem? Why in the garden?
-
Is he under such distress? Because it's not the physical
-
beating. God was with him.
-
It is until he's on the cross that he says my father.
-
Why have you? Because when Jesus became sin
-
the father had to what Separate. Jesus knows he's going to be in
-
Abraham's bosom. He's going to be in Paradise.
-
Yeah, and only for three days, but the thought of being
-
separated from his father. For three days, has given him
-
more anxiety than anything he's ever faced in his life.
-
We flippantly walk around in sin and at like, it's not a big deal
-
to be cut off because you have no revelation of what it means
-
to be United. Jesus had only always been with
-
the father, had only always been in his Loving Care has always,
-
and he wasn't concerned about the grave.
-
He knows I'm coming out. The grave didn't bother him
-
going down, the paradise. Him bother him.
-
He knows he's gonna conquer. Her in here.
-
What causes the stress? I am not going to be in the
-
presence of my father. He treated separation as the
-
worst thing you could possibly. Bien.
-
Yeah, we treated as no big deal. Jesus knows the devil is
-
defeated. Jesus knows he's going to win.
-
Jesus knows, he's gonna he knows that the Lord will do, what he
-
said, God's already given him Security in the natural.
-
When he raised Lazarus up on the fourth day, it was to Jesus.
-
That ain't no problem me. Get you on the third son.
-
Are you hearing me? If at your word he can come back
-
you've already said on the third day you're coming you've been
-
saying it repeatedly and the Holy Spirit, did he come?
-
I said, did he come? But those three days of being
-
separated from the father? Those three days, the very
-
thought that I would be in a position That cuts me off from
-
the father. So if we, as Believers could get
-
this same Revelation that when the Temptation is simply be like
-
that, cut me off from my father. Now, I'm not talking about when
-
you're born again, the minute you see in your cutoff and you
-
need to be reborn again. I'm not saying that.
-
I'm just saying get what Jesus was thinking.
-
Jesus is like, I don't even want amitai second outside of the
-
presence of my God. Yeah.
-
We will entertain sin, although, and calls our own Spirit and the
-
Holy Ghost within us to become grieved, And Jesus said this is
-
a huge deal even though he knew this only 3 days.
-
I mean, think about it, I could endure this for three days.
-
That just means we don't know his presence.
-
We've not even gotten into the worship of our King to the place
-
that we disdain. That which separates us.
-
Even force a millisecond. We wouldn't want it to penetrate
-
any part of our being. We did we don't want it to get
-
in our mind or Spirit Man's Alive, but we don't even want it
-
to get in our mind. We don't want to entertain it
-
with our but we don't want anything.
-
That doesn't have the fear of God.
-
We'll play with it. Entertain it.
-
And Jesus prayed if there's any other way, I don't want to be
-
away from you. I just don't want to be away.
-
Do you think Jesus would have struggled come to church?
-
He my I'm not going to be away from you.
-
You think Jesus would have struggled to sing praises you
-
inhabit, the Praises of your people.
-
I'm going to sing, I'm going to sing loud and everybody in this
-
room right now. I mean, I'm going to say now
-
when I say that, I mean, don't be obnoxious Lee louder than
-
everybody else in the room to try to draw attention to
-
yourself, okay? I mean there is a blending of
-
our voices to go. I'm just saying, we passion with
-
your heart, with your whole heart connected to your spirit.
-
Because I've seen a lot of passionate worship that was only
-
soulish and God wasn't even in the room.
-
I said, God wasn't in the room. I One very clear time.
-
When I was a youth, pastor. I went to a particular camp and
-
these teenagers were along a wall and they were, it's like a
-
Wailing Wall, really is what it looked like and they were just
-
wailing and crying going after. And I'll never forget the, Holy
-
Ghost says, I don't hear anything they're saying and I'm
-
like, what? Lord, how can that be?
-
He said, it's all from their soul, their Spirits, not
-
connected. They have not trained their
-
Spirit to connect with me. He said, this is why you got to
-
train them for who they are in Christ.
-
You want to believe that your emotional expression is touching
-
God. But, wait up, we, you can't
-
violate scripture mean you want to, but you can't, they will
-
worship me. And what not in Seoul in spirit.
-
And in truth, And those are the one he seeks after.
-
Yeah. Yeah.
-
We have to keep ourselves undefiled from the things of the
-
world, because Jesus didn't want to take did one in on him one
-
bit. Because he knew it's going to
-
cut that off. It's going to cut Dad off.
-
It's going to cut that off. You know what else?
-
It cut off the Holy Ghost. Both the father and the spirit
-
cut off. Cut off.
-
He had to be just like us in Paradise, awaiting.
-
I can't even imagine what those three days were like for him.
-
It's not the torment of the Lake of Fire, that's the dish issue
-
and we're selling people and you don't want to go to hell, you
-
don't want to be tormented, you don't want to be Jesus like
-
torments not that that's not the issue.
-
The issue is the separation. Separation is the issue.
-
The issue is a separation. There's no torment like the
-
separation. There's no torment like being
-
separated from life. This is why Believers struggle
-
so much in the earth there, like, a freaking nature,
-
because, again, on the inside their Spirit Man's Alive, but
-
then they continue to respond to the things of the world, and
-
they struggle and they're having issues, and they're having their
-
whole life becomes a chaos. It's why?
-
Because they're entertaining, something they should already be
-
separated from. And they're not taking in
-
account. Jesus didn't even want to
-
participate in that anymore. Just didn't want to go down the
-
road. He never once questioned God's
-
plan until the reality of the separation.
-
The reality of the separation, this is why people sing songs on
-
the highway to hell. This is why people act like
-
they're going to go and take Dominion.
-
In fact, they're acting like they're going to go down there
-
and kick the devil out. Like he was living there.
-
Anyway, Jesus did not go down to the grave and find the devil.
-
The devil wasn't there, Satan was not there.
-
He's the prince of the power of the are not of the That's not
-
where he was hanging out. Now it makes good for videos and
-
movies but the reality is he's like an angel of Light, he was
-
ruling in the heavens, he's moving around on the earth job.
-
Let us know how Satan operated in Dominion prior to Jesus.
-
He when he went up to the heavens and saw the father, he
-
says, what if what have you been doing?
-
He said, well, I've been on the Earth moving to and fro he said,
-
we'll have you considered my servant job.
-
He said, yep. The Bible talks about him, roams
-
around like a roaring lion seeking, whom he may devour,
-
he's not sitting down in hell where they became this big you
-
know, 12-round battle. Are you hearing me?
-
It wasn't until he led captivity captive.
-
Because once the separation was over in the Holy Spirit showed
-
up, because there was a court in heaven, that says, a man is in
-
the grave that should not be in the grave.
-
He has been falsely crucified executed.
-
Holy Spirit, go get him and all who were in Paradise Abraham's
-
bosom were those who were the righteous dead.
-
Those believe that this day would come that the Messiah
-
would show up that the blood, the atonement would take place
-
and their existence in the grave demonstrated that they were a
-
part of a group that wasn't like the ones on the other side of
-
the chasm. Because the ones on the other
-
side of the chasm, does it get out?
-
They come up later? Oh, come on now and it said he
-
led captivity captive in the Bible says that when he broke
-
out of the Grave by the Holy Ghost, the dead rose with him.
-
Those came out of and they walked through the streets of
-
Jerusalem and people saw their loved ones who had died decades,
-
hundreds of years, centuries, earlier, they spoke with them.
-
But then we get to Colossians chapter 2.
Colossians 2 chapter mention
-
I said we get to Colossians chapter 2 because Jesus has a
Colossians 2 chapter mention
-
few conversations tells one don't touch me cuz I ain't been
-
glorified God, take my blood up, he takes his blood up, pours it
-
out on The Mercy Seat of Christ on The Mercy Seat in heaven, and
-
makes atonement. The guilt offering is complete.
-
Now, the way home is available the way back to life is been
-
made and now that he has conquered the grave, he goes, To
-
the air where he goes to deal with the prince of the power of
-
the air. And it says, this realm of death
-
describes, our former State. We were held in sins grip.
-
But now, you've been resurrected out of the realm of death.
-
Never to return for, we are alive, forever alive.
-
And forgiven of all our sins verse 14, for he cancelled out
-
every legal violation, we had on our record and the old arrest,
-
warrant that stood to endure. Bite us.
-
He erased it all our sins, our stain.
-
So he deleted it all and they cannot be retrieved everything.
-
We once were in, Adam has been placed on his cross and nailed
-
permanently there. As a public display of
-
cancellation, verse 15, then Jesus made a public spectacle
-
made a public spectacle, this is not in hiding.
-
We didn't see it in this earth round, but in the spirit realm,
-
he went straight up to the devil, the God of this world.
-
And in front of us, has fallen angel in front of all of his
-
principalities and powers and Jesus made a public spectacle of
-
all the powers, my gosh, and principalities of Darkness.
-
Look what he did. He stripped away from them.
-
Every weapon and all their Spiritual Authority and power to
-
act. Accuse us.
-
He said, devil you don't own them anymore and you don't own
-
this anymore and you don't own that anymore, and I stripped
-
that power. And I stripped that power and I
-
stripped that power and I stripped that power and I
-
stripped that power little strip that power.
-
And by the power of the Cross, Jesus led them around.
-
Then he showcased them when all the way up to him said, Daddy.
-
Look at all my prisoners. Look at all the ones that I've
-
defeated. Look at all the ones that are
-
now under my feet, and not only under my feet, but all who call
-
on the name of the Lord. Yeah, around his prisoners in A
-
procession of tribe. He was not their prisoner.
-
They were his. What does that tell us?
-
You don't have to, for one millisecond, entertain something
-
that a separate you from Daddy. You're not stuck to sin anymore,
-
you're not stuck in this thing that keeps you bound and
-
separate it from the most vibrant life of Victory and
-
overcoming with God. My gosh man, God's blood has
-
separated you from that which separated you.
-
And you are never to return. And I heard the Lord say this.
-
Any king of mine that is in sin is a self sentenced King.
-
They proclaimed, a self sentence, they bond themselves
-
to it themselves because I stripped It Off.
-
The devil does not have a right to you.
-
When you fall, you have the power to fall.
-
When you sin, you took the power to sin.
-
The devil is only trying to throw out booby traps to see if
-
you'll condemn yourself. Because he can't condemn you
-
again. He can't condemn you he's been
-
stripped of all this power. He's been whipped of it.
-
He has power over those that are still in his realm.
-
But for you, you've been raised, you've been seated, you're
-
alive, you're above and not beneath your the head and not
-
the tail, you are more than a conqueror in Christ.
-
There's no reason for you ever take another thought that would
-
separate you from the father. And may we have the revelation
-
of Jesus. I don't ever want to be in a
-
place that I'm not completely connected Spirit soul and body
-
to my heavenly father, because of the finished work of Jesus, I
-
don't have to be I said I don't have to be Hallelujah.
-
With that being said, we close with this Revelations, one, 17,
-
and 18, and Paul. And John said, when I saw him, I
-
fell at his feet as dead and he laid his right hand upon me
-
saying unto me fear. Not, I am the first and the last
-
I am, he that liveth and was dead and behold I am alive for
-
Evermore. Amen.
-
And have the keys of hell and of death that word hell.
-
There is the grave He has the keys of the grave and there will
-
come a day that the grave will give up the dead and come up to
-
the great white Throne, Judgment of, which he'll open up the
-
books. And he'll first say, is there a
-
name written in the Lamb's Book of Life?
-
Because if there is none of this will matter but when they
-
couldn't find their name in the Lamb's Book of Life there, no,
-
they weren't a citizen of the Kingdom.
-
They had not made Jesus Lord. Then he judged them according to
-
the books and he cast them into the Lake of Fire which is the
-
second death. It's not the Lake of Fire.
-
That's the worst. It's the separation.
-
For eternity, that you chose to be eternally separated from the
-
Father and Jesus didn't even want three days.
-
He didn't even want three days. He didn't want it.
-
I don't ever want to be cut off from my father.
-
And I'm glad that Jesus died, Rose.
-
His blood is the guilt offering from my life.
-
And that I don't have to one more for a millisecond.
-
Have to be separated from the heavens.
