  1. Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast

  2. from st. Augustine Florida.

  3. Now, enjoy this message. Last week we started talking

  4. about separate. Okay.

  5. And it was Resurrection Sunday. And you know, today we're going

  6. to finalize that message. What was initially in my heart

  7. as I began to study that more. I'm like, man, I can't even

  8. touch that today. And God knows what he's doing

  9. because he himself said, don't touch that till next week

  10. because there's more I need to download in you concerning that,

  11. but we went from Matthew Chapter 13, last week versus 47 to 50,

    Matthew 13 chapter mention

  12. and I'm just going to do a quick little high.

  13. Highlight for Jesus. And again, the Kingdom of Heaven

  14. is like a Dragnet Dragnet, which was cast into the sea and

  15. gathered fish of every sword when it was full men, dragged it

  16. up on the beach and set down and shorted out the good fish into

  17. baskets but the worthless ones they were thrown away.

  18. So we'll be at the clothes and consummation of the age.

  19. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from the

  20. righteous. Those who are upright and in

  21. right standing with God and cast them, the wicked into the

  22. furnace of Fire will, there will be weeping and wailing grinding

  23. of teeth. We talked about separate means

  24. this, it means to mark off from others by boundaries to limit

  25. the separate in a bad sense. It means to exclude in a good

  26. sense. It means to set apart for

  27. purpose. So separate has a positive and

  28. negative side to it. The positive side to that is

  29. that if you separate for a purpose then, Separate turns

  30. into holiness. Because to be, holy is to be

  31. separated unto God. Holiness is not something that

  32. you obtain in and of yourself. Holiness is something that God

  33. sets you in, and then you are to maintain.

  34. Are you hearing me? Because once you're born again,

  35. your made in the righteousness of God in Christ in your spirit.

  36. Now, the problem is in the church, a lot of times we don't

  37. teach of the threefold nature of man, because man is not just a

  38. spirit, he has a soul and he lives in a body.

  39. And so the spirit of the man that separated are excluded cut

  40. off from God because of sin, Jesus Christ, came and died pays

  41. the price, his blood that makes atonement for us so that we can

  42. have an opportunity to be born again.

  43. Well when were born again, it's not a natural birth and our mind

  44. itself doesn't actually change but our spirit becomes brand

  45. new, it becomes a new creature. What in Christ and that Spirit

  46. man is now made righteous. Righteous is not a religious

  47. word, it means right standing with the governing Authority.

  48. Now, our spirit is in, right? Standing with God, who is king

  49. of all Are you hearing me? And so then our spirit becomes

  50. separated unto God. It's made.

  51. Holy, but once that takes place, then the third person of the

  52. godhead. He's called the Holy Spirit, he

  53. will come and move in and live inside your skin suit or your

  54. body and he will bear witness with your spirit that your child

  55. of God that you've been made righteous that he did this.

  56. He's made you this way. Way through his death burial and

  57. Resurrection. Your spirit man is now alive,

  58. not separated from God. But separated to God.

  59. Can I get an amen? Now, it is the work of your new

  60. spirit and the Holy Ghost. Who lives within you to start

  61. changing your soul realm and get your body in alignment with the

  62. spirit. This is why the Bible tells us

  63. to renew our minds by the washing of the word or the

  64. reading of the word are renewing.

  65. Our minds through the reading of the word, the studying of the

  66. word, because then it allows our mind to get Sanctified.

  67. Our spirit is in sanctification, it's been synced, but our minds,

  68. not our mind has to be renewed and it's our responsibility.

  69. Now that we are alive and our spirit can hear God and wants to

  70. hear God and wants to live for God that we must develop it.

  71. Are you hearing me the Bible calls us when we're a new

  72. creature in Christ, a babe in Christ it's a baby.

  73. Are you hearing me and a baby wants to be ultimately trained

  74. to walk to talk and to be able to go to the bathroom by itself.

  75. Amen. It wants to eat wants to dress

  76. in there the whole time, but you have to train it.

  77. There's a training that takes place and those who are not

  78. trained, takes longer to develop, and it's not because

  79. it's not in there to develop, but it is, we have a preschool

  80. here and some parents, wait longer to train their children

  81. to go to the bathroom on their own, some come to our preschool

  82. with And you know, there are 12 months and they're already going

  83. to the bathroom some there, three or four and they want to

  84. bring one like we can't even put them in our class because you've

  85. not yet potty trained them. Just go ahead and say, Amen.

  86. Anyway, okay. It's not because they couldn't

  87. have been trained earlier. Is that a lot of times we choose

  88. to let certainty but they've got to develop the same thing

  89. happens to us once we are born again, we must develop.

  90. So you could be 53, like me and be undeveloped in your mind.

  91. My alright still be a babe and one of the teenagers that go to

  92. the current are more mature spiritually in their soul realm.

  93. Then you are in yours even though you're 53 years old

  94. because if you don't train yourself to not be led by your

  95. feelings but by the spirit. Amen.

  96. And so, we now have the responsibility to separate or

  97. disconnect our soul and body from the world.

  98. We are to limit put Boundaries sin doesn't own me anymore.

  99. The law of sin and death is no longer my law.

  100. I'm not bound to it. I'm not subject, I master it.

  101. Amen. I've been bought with a price

  102. and now I'm to come over and to be able to live for God.

  103. Continually last week, we talked about how we are not to have

  104. mismatched alliances with things of the world.

  105. We talked about last week how that once we I've come over to

  106. God, we're not to go back into sloppy living.

  107. We're supposed to say separated from it, and Paul, when we

  108. concluded last week in Romans chapter 6, said, shall we

    Romans 6 chapter mention

  109. continue to sin? So that Grace may increase or

  110. bound? And his answer was, May it never

  111. be, because if you've acknowledged that you're dead,

  112. That I died and I've been raised up with Christ.

  113. Well then, how can he, who died still participate in that?

  114. Which he's died too. So God has separated you from

  115. that, which separated you You no longer have to be a sinner saved

  116. by grace. You can be a believer, you were

  117. a sinner. You've been saved by grace

  118. through faith. Now you're a Believer and you

  119. are separated from that which separated you you can live.

  120. Holy on all three aspects of your life in your spirit, soul

  121. and body. Amen.

  122. You can do it. Many of you did listen to your

  123. body today, when it said, stay in the bed because it was

  124. talking to you, how many was it talking to you?

  125. This morning said, just stay in the bed.

  126. Yeah, look at that. Talking to, you know, what's

  127. crazy about that is that it did not win.

  128. Apparently, you had dominion over your body and you said, no,

  129. you gonna get up. We have a pointed time with the

  130. King this morning. We need to go here from the King

  131. this morning and we're not going to lay around here.

  132. And be lazy and get into sloppy sleeping.

  133. When my spirit man, neat wants to be fed and my mind needs to

  134. be renewed. So you overcame your body's

  135. talking, you overcame. Well, you understand you can do

  136. that in any temptation. I said any Temptation you could

  137. overcome you can overcome every man in this room that's working

  138. somewhere and they some female comes and makes a pass at you.

  139. You can overcome You can resist the temptation.

  140. You don't have to fall into it. Well, I'm just a guy can't help

  141. it. Yeah, you can't because you're

  142. not a dog. I said you're not a dog.

  143. Quit sniffing around like someone's in heat and you can't

  144. help yourself. No, you can.

  145. Are you hearing me? Yeah, you could put your phone

  146. down so that you're not looking at stuff, you can get it

  147. together. You can take control of your

  148. mind. But it takes you working

  149. together with Christ because the minute you'll yield Christ will

  150. Empower, you Grace will be activated in your life and

  151. you'll be able to overcome some phenomenal things.

  152. So this thing separate cept is serious business, especially

  153. when you're separated from God is serious business.

  154. So, turn over to Matthew chapter 26, we really do not understand

    Matthew 26 chapter mention

  155. seriously nobody in the room including myself, we really do

  156. not have enough revelation of what it means to be.

  157. Separated from God. We really don't because if we

  158. did, we wouldn't put up with it one bit.

  159. Wouldn't do it. I said we wouldn't do it.

  160. All right, let's see what Jesus said in the garden.

  161. Jesus said in the garden and Genesis 26 starting in verse 36.

  162. He said this, that Jesus came and said, came with them to a

  163. place. This is the garden is said to

  164. his disciples sit here while I go over there and pray, and he

  165. took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be

  166. what grieved And distressed. Jesus was what grieved and

  167. distressed. This is a very difficult,

  168. emotional time in his life, then he said to them, my soul is

  169. deeply grieved to the point of death.

  170. Remain here and keep watch with me.

  171. And he went a little Beyond them and fell on his face and prayed

  172. saying, O my father. If it is possible let this cup

  173. pass from me yet. Not as I will but as you will

  174. when Bible scholar said that it was so deep on him that he said

  175. he went a little further, he only took a couple steps and the

  176. and the amount of pressure That was on him.

  177. He just fell to the ground. He couldn't even stand up.

  178. Couldn't even stand up. Verse 40 and when he came to his

  179. disciples, he found them sleeping and said to Peter.

  180. So you men could not keep watch with me for one hour.

  181. How do you think that sounded think it was cute.

  182. Things Jesus said gentlemen, I can't believe you can't sleep.

  183. Right, I mean he's already distressed at the point of

  184. death. His soul is completely grieved.

  185. He's at this point that any he he would love to not do.

  186. What's about to happen? And is looking for an amendment.

  187. He's looking for the king to have an amendment to declare

  188. another way. Much like what took place with

  189. Mordecai? And Esther, the king, decreed,

  190. the Jews are going to die. And they're like, man, we need

  191. an amendment and the King says, I cannot change.

  192. You're going to die, but I can give you the ability to defend

  193. yourself on that day, and if you defend yourself and live, then

  194. whomever you kill, who comes to kill.

  195. You will not be murder. It will be self-defense and so

  196. an amendment was enacted by the king so that when the day

  197. arrived for the Jews to be destroyed and their enemy did

  198. come after them, they defended themselves and routed their

  199. enemy because the king gave them another way.

  200. Can you hear me? Jesus is appealing to the great

  201. king if there's any other way. Let it pass but not my will,

  202. your will be done. So he comes to Peter and then

  203. they're sleeping. I can just imagine that he

  204. probably didn't sound super great.

  205. When he said this, he goes in verse 41, keep watching and

  206. praying that you may not enter into temptation.

  207. The spirit is willing willing, but the flesh is weak.

  208. And when he went again a second time and prayed saying, father

  209. If this cup, if this cannot pass, unless I drink it, your

  210. will be done again. He came and found them sleeping.

  211. For their eyes were heavy and he left them again and went away

  212. and prayed at third time saying the same thing once more.

  213. So what did he say? The third time if there's any

  214. other way let this cup pass but not my will your will be done.

  215. Verse 45 said, then he came to a decision After the said to them,

  216. are you still sleeping and resting?

  217. Behold the hour is at hand and the son of man is being betrayed

  218. into the hands of Sinners, get up, let us be going.

  219. Behold, the one who betrays me is at hand, Did Jesus know what

  220. was going to happen? Sure.

  221. Because he's read the prophets. Jesus said on a road after his

  222. resurrection where he encountered a couple of

  223. disciples, he began to show them through the law and the prophets

  224. himself. This means, Jesus fulfilled, all

  225. that was written concerning him through the law and the

  226. prophets, he as a child, when he got up underneath the law and

  227. began to study It as all good Jewish people did from the

  228. nation, he's from the tribe of Judah.

  229. He studied this thing. It was a requirements, their

  230. Heritage, their tradition, then he had the, the prophets he were

  231. able to receive and read them. Well, don't, you know, he came

  232. across Isaiah's letter. And Isaiah's letter starting in

  233. verse 3 of the 53rd chapter it says this.

  234. He was despised and forsaken of men.

  235. A man of what sorrows and acquainted with grief and like

  236. one from whom men hide their face.

  237. He was despised and we did not esteem him.

  238. Surely our griefs, he himself bore and our sorrows.

  239. He carried yet we ourselves esteemed him stricken smitten.

  240. Smitten of God and Afflicted, but he was pierced through for

  241. our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities.

  242. The chastisement of our well-being fell upon him and by

  243. his scourging, we are healed. All of us like sheep.

  244. Have gone astray each. One of us turn to his own way,

  245. but the Lord caused the iniquity of all of us to fall on him.

  246. He was oppressed and he was afflicted yet, he did not open

  247. his mouth. Like a lamb that is led to

  248. slaughter like a sheep. That is silent before it's

  249. Shearer's. He did not open his mouth by

  250. oppression and judgment. He was taken away and as and as

  251. for his generation who considered that he was cut off

  252. out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my

  253. people, to whom the stroke was due.

  254. His grave was assigned with the wicked men yet.

  255. He was with a rich man in his death.

  256. Death because he had done no violence nor was there any

  257. deceit in his mouth, but the Lord was pleased to crush.

  258. Him putting him to grief if he would render himself as a guilt

  259. e offering He will see his offspring, he will prolong his

  260. days and the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in his

  261. hands. As a result of the anguish of

  262. his soul, he will see it and be satisfied by his knowledge.

  263. The righteous one. My servant will justify the

  264. many. He will bear their iniquities.

  265. Therefore, I will allot him a portion with the great and he

  266. will divide the beauty among the strong because He poured out

  267. himself to death and was numbered with the transgressors

  268. yet. He himself bore the sin of many

  269. and interceded seated for the transgressors.

  270. I'm sure Jesus read this Prophet.

  271. I know he reading because he quoted in Luke 4:18.

    Luke 4:18

  272. He said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me for he has anointed

  273. me now that's Isaiah chapter, 61 eight chapters.

  274. After this chapter, Jesus. Jesus found himself.

  275. He knew By revealed to him by the spirit of who he was and his

  276. assignment to the Earth, he is Lord of all.

  277. But he came to be savior, he came to save Humanity.

  278. He came to provide the way that we could get out of the dead of

  279. Adam. And come into The Marvelous

  280. Light and become children of God.

  281. Once again, second Corinthians 5:21 said it this way.

    2 Corinthians 5:21

  282. He who made, he made him who knew no sin to be sin, y on our

  283. behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

  284. What bothered Jesus in the garden.

  285. What was it? What was it?

  286. That was causing him so much. Anguish such issues.

  287. Is it? The beating was it just the

  288. physical challenges he was about to go through?

  289. I mean, I'll be honest with you, if I do that I was fixing to get

  290. beaten so bad. You couldn't tell I was a man,

  291. I'd that would cause me some grief.

  292. There's no doubt about that and I'm sure Jesus himself.

  293. Wasn't thrilled about that action, but that did not give

  294. him the greatest discomfort. I said it did not give him the

  295. greatest discomfort. Why?

  296. Because the Lord was with him during the be, you could not

  297. take the beating Jesus Took without the anointing present,

  298. couldn't have done it. This gentleman, this guy

  299. anointed of God steps up, it is falsely accused of things just

  300. because they wanted to kill him. And then once they determine

  301. that, he has his first Physical altercation is when he makes the

  302. statement and they talk to him slap him because they said I

  303. can't believe you're talking to a high priest that way.

  304. Then from there as he begins to say I am and they're saying

  305. blasphemy, then they handed him over to the Romans and the

  306. Romans who happen to have be a whole cohort or you could say it

  307. this way. A centurion had a group of

  308. people that they probably numbered anywhere from 600 to

  309. 2000. Of a company that grab Jesus

  310. Roman soldiers, once he was turned over and they said

  311. member, they stripped him, they put a robe around him.

  312. They tied up a crown of thorns. Why?

  313. Because they are going to try him as a king, not as a

  314. religious leader. And you understand Romans are

  315. not well if you think you're a king above their King, now their

  316. King is Caesar. So they Others who would even

  317. try to identify as the king or even with Rome, those kings saw

  318. themselves as gods. And so they put that crown of

  319. thorns on his head and they put a robe around him and then they

  320. took a staff and used it as his Sceptre and then the Roman

  321. soldiers, one by one would come by and take that staff and hit

  322. him on the head. They would pull on his beard one

  323. by one. if they're 600 men, that's 600 blows If it was two

  324. thousand men, it was 2000, bulb blows.

  325. But this is not to mention the scourging that he had to endure,

  326. where the Roman soldiers took, the cat of nine, tails, and had

  327. bones and glass, and different sharp objects that they would

  328. interlace between all of the leather, and they would be able

  329. to hit his back and strip the flesh off of him.

  330. You understand, this thing just didn't stay on his back, it

  331. would come around to the front. It would hit the side of your

  332. face. I mean wherever it came in.

  333. They were so proficient as torturers that they could whip a

  334. man within a breath of his life. And stop.

  335. So he would stay alive then. According to the Greek scholar

  336. Rick Renner, he said, during the scourging after they would rip

  337. his back open, in order to stop the blood loss.

  338. They would because he would be in like, a little pit where they

  339. would have his hands up on a pole.

  340. And they would begin to whip at him not like The Passion of

  341. Christ, but it would, because blood would be all filled up in

  342. the bottom of this. You little trench that they had

  343. built, then they would take some salt.

  344. And throw it up into the wounds. No man.

  345. Without the anointing could have endured and yet after all that

  346. he was still able to carry his own cross for a little while

  347. before he became so exhausted, he couldn't carry it.

  348. Wow. Are you hearing me all the while

  349. the Lord was with him, I said was with him.

  350. So when Jesus is recalling this this is not the issue.

  351. That causes him. Great distress.

  352. It's because a man who knew no sin became our sin.

  353. See you understood sin, did something something that he's

  354. never experienced. In fact, let me give you an

  355. account of the issue of man, even man is Holy Meek, faithful

  356. obedient still has an issue because he has fallen In Exodus

    Exodus 33 chapter mention

  357. chapter 33, Moses. The man, the prophet who saw God

  358. face to face, the Bible says, in one sense, his glory would come

  359. down, he would speak to him face-to-face.

  360. He would be able to hear him and when I say that he would, he

  361. would talk to him plainly, he wouldn't do it in riddles or

  362. different things. He would just clearly converse

  363. with him. And there is a time here that

  364. Moses has been in the presence of God.

  365. So much that Now, he's gotten Bold And he says, Show Me Your

  366. Glory. He said, I pray you starting in

  367. chapter 33 verses 18 to 23 said, I pray, you show me your glory

  368. and he said I myself will make all my goodness pass before you

  369. and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you, and I will

  370. be gracious to whom. I will be gracious and I will

  371. show compassion on whom I will show compassion, but he said you

  372. cannot see my face for no, man can see me.

  373. And and live Then the Lord said behold there's a place by me.

  374. There is a place by me and you shall stand there on that rock

  375. and it will come about while my glorious passing by that.

  376. I will put you in the cleft of The Rock and cover you with my

  377. hand. Until I have what passed by

  378. then. I will take my hand away and you

  379. will see my back, but my face shall not be seen.

  380. Here's someone who has been in the presence of God.

  381. I mean the glory of God to the 11 that when he comes down from

  382. the mountain his face would shot.

  383. Yeah the Lord says if you actually saw me you were in my

  384. physical presence, you die. You would die is much as I've

  385. done to be able to have this relationship with you, to be

  386. able to walk in this manner with you.

  387. You still can't see me because you're unclean.

  388. Come on. Are you hearing what I'm saying?

  389. Jesus was concerned about this moment, the psalmist in Psalms

    Psalms 88:1–7

  390. 88 verses 1 through 7 and then we'll jump down to verse 14,

  391. through 16. You know, Jesus read this song.

  392. And it reminded him of the day that would come.

  393. It says this Lord, the god of my salvation, I've cried, I cried

  394. out by day, and in the night, before you let my prayer come

  395. before you incline your ear to My Cry For My Soul has had

  396. enough troubles. He says, and my life has

  397. approached. She'll, I am counted among those

  398. who go down to the pit. I have become like a man without

  399. strength abandoned among the dead.

  400. Like the slain who lie in the grave, who you no longer

  401. remember? And they are cut off from your

  402. hand, you have put me in the lowest pit in dark places in the

  403. depths your wrath has rested upon me.

  404. And you have Afflicted me with all your ways, verse 14?

  405. Why Lord? Why do you reject my soul?

  406. Why do you hide your face from me?

  407. I was miserable and about to die from my youth on, I suffered

  408. your tears, I grow. Weary you're burning anger has

  409. passed over me. Your tears have destroyed me.

  410. Jesus. Was not concerned about the

  411. grave. when we think about, Jesus in The Garden and we're

  412. like, man. Jesus fixing to get beat but God

  413. was with him. Jesus is going to go to the

  414. Grave. but that wasn't as concerned because Jesus himself

  415. said this listen, He said. Now, I'm going to die. by the

  416. hands of the Pharisees and the scribes, but on the third day,

  417. but on the third day, I said on the third day, I'll be raised

  418. up. I said I'll be raised up, but on

  419. the third day, I'll be raised up.

  420. Three days in the grave. Do you know what happened in the

  421. grave? Most won't know what happened in

  422. the grave because they've not actually read the Bible.

  423. They're assuming what took place in the grave, but Jesus tells us

  424. exactly what happened when he was in the grave.

  425. Look what he says on the cross and Luke chapter 23 verses 42

    Luke 23:42

  426. 43. Jesus says this, but on the

  427. other but the other answered, this is the thief.

  428. Now there's two thieves, right? And both of them have been

  429. Railing at Jesus. Running him down like everybody

  430. else. Curse him like everybody else

  431. but along the way, one had revelation.

  432. And the one who didn't have Revelation was yelling at Jesus

  433. and then the one who had Revelation says this, but the

  434. other answering rebuked in the other Thief.

  435. He said, do you not even fear God?

  436. Since you are under the same sentence of condemnation for we

  437. indeed are suffering justly for. We are receiving what we deserve

  438. for our Deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.

  439. I let me stop right there. Isaiah said that, he would be a

  440. guilt offering. That is a better translation

  441. than many other translation that says, he's an offering for sin,

  442. although a guilt offering was for sin, but a guilt offering.

  443. Leviticus chapter 4 going through to chapter 6 describes,

    Leviticus 4 chapter mention

  444. what a guilt offering was for because Leviticus for talked

  445. about a sin offering and Leviticus for the sin offering

  446. always was in a context of sinning unintentionally.

  447. Meaning, you found yourself in a sin, you didn't really realize

  448. it, but it's there and now you need to do an offering, but a

  449. guilt offering. A guilt offering means I know I

  450. did it. I know it and you had to then

  451. pass your guilty verdict over to the sacrifice.

  452. The sacrifice was to Bear your guilt.

  453. Although the sacrifice was blameless without spot, it was

  454. not guilty, it hadn't, it was no reason for it to die.

  455. Should not die. It should live but if bore your

  456. guilt It bore your guilt and this guy realizes this man is

  457. our guilt offering. We're guilty, but he's not.

  458. And he gets Revelation. All of the things that I've

  459. heard concerning the day, you would come.

  460. You are taking my guilt, my shame, my verdict, and he goes

  461. on, and he was saying, verse 20, 42 Jesus.

  462. Remember me? When you come into your kingdom

  463. and he said to him, look what Jesus said, truly.

  464. I say to you. What's that next word?

  465. What's that? Next word?

  466. What's that? Next word?

  467. What's that? Next word?

  468. What's that next word? Today?

  469. You will be with who, who? Who's me?

  470. Whose me in? Where was Jesus?

  471. Going that day. The paradise.

  472. There's a Bible talk about Paradise.

  473. Well sure. It does.

  474. The bible talks about paradise and Luke chapter 16.

    Luke 16 chapter mention

  475. In Luke chapter 16, it talks about Paradise.

    Luke 16 chapter mention

  476. The place that Jesus would be today with that thief because

  477. that Thief has recognized that, he's the guilt offering.

  478. He's the one who can save. He's the Messiah.

  479. He's the savior of the world, he's the lamb.

  480. That was slain. And look what it says here in.

  481. Luke, 16, starting in verse 19. Now there was a rich man, this

  482. is not a parable because Jesus used actual names.

  483. He does not start this account with the kingdom of God is like

  484. or there's a parable that Jesus spoke in a parable this as an

  485. actual event that occurred these were actual people that lived

  486. says now there was a rich man and he was so bitterly dressed

  487. in purple and fine linen, joyfully living a splendid,

  488. splendid Door and Splendor everyday and a poor man named

  489. Lazarus, was late at the gate do not be confused with the lashes.

  490. That was raised on the fourth day, covered with sores and

  491. longing to be fed with the crumbs that were falling from

  492. the rich man's table. Besides even the dogs were

  493. coming and licking his sores. Now, the poor man died and was

  494. carried away by the angels to who Abraham's bosom, Abraham's

  495. bosom is Paradise. And the rich man also died and

  496. was buried. Notice, it didn't say Moses's

  497. bosom. Okay, doesn't say Moses is bosom

  498. because why there's a promise before the law was written?

  499. And again, the law is just revealing that man needs to be

  500. able to believe God and that his ways are corrupt and he's in

  501. need of a savior. But there was a promise made to

  502. a man named Abram. That received the name Abraham,

  503. a father of many nations. I'll make you.

  504. So he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom and

  505. the rich man, also died and was buried in where That's the

  506. grave. He lifted up his eyes being in.

  507. What? What was he in and saw Abraham

  508. far away? And Lazarus in his bosom.

  509. And he cried out, said, Father, Abraham have mercy on me and

  510. send Lazarus so that he may dip, the tip of his finger in water,

  511. and cool off my tongue for. I am in agony in this Flame And

  512. he goes on but Abraham said, child remember that during your

  513. life, you received your good things and likewise Lazarus has

  514. bad things. Now he is being comforted here

  515. and you are in agony, Agony. And besides all this between us

  516. say between us between us and you, there is a great Chasm

  517. fixed so that those who wish to come over here to you will not

  518. be able even in the grave. At this time, those in Paradise

  519. long to get those beyond the chasm out.

  520. But notice those that are in agony.

  521. Their first thought is not for others.

  522. But for their own selfish desire, send him over so he can

  523. dip his tongue in water and cool my tongue.

  524. It is an until Abraham reveals that we can't go across that

  525. none may cross over from here to us.

  526. That later on he said sin Lazarus back.

  527. I got five brothers worse than me.

  528. And Abraham said, listen, if they don't receive from the law

  529. and the prophets, they will not receive even if a man is raised

  530. from the dead. Are you hearing me?

  531. Jesus said today, you will be with me.

  532. We're in Paradise. In Paradise.

  533. Now, in Paradise they weren't in torment.

  534. So, what is Jesus problem? Why in the garden?

  535. Is he under such distress? Because it's not the physical

  536. beating. God was with him.

  537. It is until he's on the cross that he says my father.

  538. Why have you? Because when Jesus became sin

  539. the father had to what Separate. Jesus knows he's going to be in

  540. Abraham's bosom. He's going to be in Paradise.

  541. Yeah, and only for three days, but the thought of being

  542. separated from his father. For three days, has given him

  543. more anxiety than anything he's ever faced in his life.

  544. We flippantly walk around in sin and at like, it's not a big deal

  545. to be cut off because you have no revelation of what it means

  546. to be United. Jesus had only always been with

  547. the father, had only always been in his Loving Care has always,

  548. and he wasn't concerned about the grave.

  549. He knows I'm coming out. The grave didn't bother him

  550. going down, the paradise. Him bother him.

  551. He knows he's gonna conquer. Her in here.

  552. What causes the stress? I am not going to be in the

  553. presence of my father. He treated separation as the

  554. worst thing you could possibly. Bien.

  555. Yeah, we treated as no big deal. Jesus knows the devil is

  556. defeated. Jesus knows he's going to win.

  557. Jesus knows, he's gonna he knows that the Lord will do, what he

  558. said, God's already given him Security in the natural.

  559. When he raised Lazarus up on the fourth day, it was to Jesus.

  560. That ain't no problem me. Get you on the third son.

  561. Are you hearing me? If at your word he can come back

  562. you've already said on the third day you're coming you've been

  563. saying it repeatedly and the Holy Spirit, did he come?

  564. I said, did he come? But those three days of being

  565. separated from the father? Those three days, the very

  566. thought that I would be in a position That cuts me off from

  567. the father. So if we, as Believers could get

  568. this same Revelation that when the Temptation is simply be like

  569. that, cut me off from my father. Now, I'm not talking about when

  570. you're born again, the minute you see in your cutoff and you

  571. need to be reborn again. I'm not saying that.

  572. I'm just saying get what Jesus was thinking.

  573. Jesus is like, I don't even want amitai second outside of the

  574. presence of my God. Yeah.

  575. We will entertain sin, although, and calls our own Spirit and the

  576. Holy Ghost within us to become grieved, And Jesus said this is

  577. a huge deal even though he knew this only 3 days.

  578. I mean, think about it, I could endure this for three days.

  579. That just means we don't know his presence.

  580. We've not even gotten into the worship of our King to the place

  581. that we disdain. That which separates us.

  582. Even force a millisecond. We wouldn't want it to penetrate

  583. any part of our being. We did we don't want it to get

  584. in our mind or Spirit Man's Alive, but we don't even want it

  585. to get in our mind. We don't want to entertain it

  586. with our but we don't want anything.

  587. That doesn't have the fear of God.

  588. We'll play with it. Entertain it.

  589. And Jesus prayed if there's any other way, I don't want to be

  590. away from you. I just don't want to be away.

  591. Do you think Jesus would have struggled come to church?

  592. He my I'm not going to be away from you.

  593. You think Jesus would have struggled to sing praises you

  594. inhabit, the Praises of your people.

  595. I'm going to sing, I'm going to sing loud and everybody in this

  596. room right now. I mean, I'm going to say now

  597. when I say that, I mean, don't be obnoxious Lee louder than

  598. everybody else in the room to try to draw attention to

  599. yourself, okay? I mean there is a blending of

  600. our voices to go. I'm just saying, we passion with

  601. your heart, with your whole heart connected to your spirit.

  602. Because I've seen a lot of passionate worship that was only

  603. soulish and God wasn't even in the room.

  604. I said, God wasn't in the room. I One very clear time.

  605. When I was a youth, pastor. I went to a particular camp and

  606. these teenagers were along a wall and they were, it's like a

  607. Wailing Wall, really is what it looked like and they were just

  608. wailing and crying going after. And I'll never forget the, Holy

  609. Ghost says, I don't hear anything they're saying and I'm

  610. like, what? Lord, how can that be?

  611. He said, it's all from their soul, their Spirits, not

  612. connected. They have not trained their

  613. Spirit to connect with me. He said, this is why you got to

  614. train them for who they are in Christ.

  615. You want to believe that your emotional expression is touching

  616. God. But, wait up, we, you can't

  617. violate scripture mean you want to, but you can't, they will

  618. worship me. And what not in Seoul in spirit.

  619. And in truth, And those are the one he seeks after.

  620. Yeah. Yeah.

  621. We have to keep ourselves undefiled from the things of the

  622. world, because Jesus didn't want to take did one in on him one

  623. bit. Because he knew it's going to

  624. cut that off. It's going to cut Dad off.

  625. It's going to cut that off. You know what else?

  626. It cut off the Holy Ghost. Both the father and the spirit

  627. cut off. Cut off.

  628. He had to be just like us in Paradise, awaiting.

  629. I can't even imagine what those three days were like for him.

  630. It's not the torment of the Lake of Fire, that's the dish issue

  631. and we're selling people and you don't want to go to hell, you

  632. don't want to be tormented, you don't want to be Jesus like

  633. torments not that that's not the issue.

  634. The issue is the separation. Separation is the issue.

  635. The issue is a separation. There's no torment like the

  636. separation. There's no torment like being

  637. separated from life. This is why Believers struggle

  638. so much in the earth there, like, a freaking nature,

  639. because, again, on the inside their Spirit Man's Alive, but

  640. then they continue to respond to the things of the world, and

  641. they struggle and they're having issues, and they're having their

  642. whole life becomes a chaos. It's why?

  643. Because they're entertaining, something they should already be

  644. separated from. And they're not taking in

  645. account. Jesus didn't even want to

  646. participate in that anymore. Just didn't want to go down the

  647. road. He never once questioned God's

  648. plan until the reality of the separation.

  649. The reality of the separation, this is why people sing songs on

  650. the highway to hell. This is why people act like

  651. they're going to go and take Dominion.

  652. In fact, they're acting like they're going to go down there

  653. and kick the devil out. Like he was living there.

  654. Anyway, Jesus did not go down to the grave and find the devil.

  655. The devil wasn't there, Satan was not there.

  656. He's the prince of the power of the are not of the That's not

  657. where he was hanging out. Now it makes good for videos and

  658. movies but the reality is he's like an angel of Light, he was

  659. ruling in the heavens, he's moving around on the earth job.

  660. Let us know how Satan operated in Dominion prior to Jesus.

  661. He when he went up to the heavens and saw the father, he

  662. says, what if what have you been doing?

  663. He said, well, I've been on the Earth moving to and fro he said,

  664. we'll have you considered my servant job.

  665. He said, yep. The Bible talks about him, roams

  666. around like a roaring lion seeking, whom he may devour,

  667. he's not sitting down in hell where they became this big you

  668. know, 12-round battle. Are you hearing me?

  669. It wasn't until he led captivity captive.

  670. Because once the separation was over in the Holy Spirit showed

  671. up, because there was a court in heaven, that says, a man is in

  672. the grave that should not be in the grave.

  673. He has been falsely crucified executed.

  674. Holy Spirit, go get him and all who were in Paradise Abraham's

  675. bosom were those who were the righteous dead.

  676. Those believe that this day would come that the Messiah

  677. would show up that the blood, the atonement would take place

  678. and their existence in the grave demonstrated that they were a

  679. part of a group that wasn't like the ones on the other side of

  680. the chasm. Because the ones on the other

  681. side of the chasm, does it get out?

  682. They come up later? Oh, come on now and it said he

  683. led captivity captive in the Bible says that when he broke

  684. out of the Grave by the Holy Ghost, the dead rose with him.

  685. Those came out of and they walked through the streets of

  686. Jerusalem and people saw their loved ones who had died decades,

  687. hundreds of years, centuries, earlier, they spoke with them.

  688. But then we get to Colossians chapter 2.

    Colossians 2 chapter mention

  689. I said we get to Colossians chapter 2 because Jesus has a

    Colossians 2 chapter mention

  690. few conversations tells one don't touch me cuz I ain't been

  691. glorified God, take my blood up, he takes his blood up, pours it

  692. out on The Mercy Seat of Christ on The Mercy Seat in heaven, and

  693. makes atonement. The guilt offering is complete.

  694. Now, the way home is available the way back to life is been

  695. made and now that he has conquered the grave, he goes, To

  696. the air where he goes to deal with the prince of the power of

  697. the air. And it says, this realm of death

  698. describes, our former State. We were held in sins grip.

  699. But now, you've been resurrected out of the realm of death.

  700. Never to return for, we are alive, forever alive.

  701. And forgiven of all our sins verse 14, for he cancelled out

  702. every legal violation, we had on our record and the old arrest,

  703. warrant that stood to endure. Bite us.

  704. He erased it all our sins, our stain.

  705. So he deleted it all and they cannot be retrieved everything.

  706. We once were in, Adam has been placed on his cross and nailed

  707. permanently there. As a public display of

  708. cancellation, verse 15, then Jesus made a public spectacle

  709. made a public spectacle, this is not in hiding.

  710. We didn't see it in this earth round, but in the spirit realm,

  711. he went straight up to the devil, the God of this world.

  712. And in front of us, has fallen angel in front of all of his

  713. principalities and powers and Jesus made a public spectacle of

  714. all the powers, my gosh, and principalities of Darkness.

  715. Look what he did. He stripped away from them.

  716. Every weapon and all their Spiritual Authority and power to

  717. act. Accuse us.

  718. He said, devil you don't own them anymore and you don't own

  719. this anymore and you don't own that anymore, and I stripped

  720. that power. And I stripped that power and I

  721. stripped that power and I stripped that power and I

  722. stripped that power little strip that power.

  723. And by the power of the Cross, Jesus led them around.

  724. Then he showcased them when all the way up to him said, Daddy.

  725. Look at all my prisoners. Look at all the ones that I've

  726. defeated. Look at all the ones that are

  727. now under my feet, and not only under my feet, but all who call

  728. on the name of the Lord. Yeah, around his prisoners in A

  729. procession of tribe. He was not their prisoner.

  730. They were his. What does that tell us?

  731. You don't have to, for one millisecond, entertain something

  732. that a separate you from Daddy. You're not stuck to sin anymore,

  733. you're not stuck in this thing that keeps you bound and

  734. separate it from the most vibrant life of Victory and

  735. overcoming with God. My gosh man, God's blood has

  736. separated you from that which separated you.

  737. And you are never to return. And I heard the Lord say this.

  738. Any king of mine that is in sin is a self sentenced King.

  739. They proclaimed, a self sentence, they bond themselves

  740. to it themselves because I stripped It Off.

  741. The devil does not have a right to you.

  742. When you fall, you have the power to fall.

  743. When you sin, you took the power to sin.

  744. The devil is only trying to throw out booby traps to see if

  745. you'll condemn yourself. Because he can't condemn you

  746. again. He can't condemn you he's been

  747. stripped of all this power. He's been whipped of it.

  748. He has power over those that are still in his realm.

  749. But for you, you've been raised, you've been seated, you're

  750. alive, you're above and not beneath your the head and not

  751. the tail, you are more than a conqueror in Christ.

  752. There's no reason for you ever take another thought that would

  753. separate you from the father. And may we have the revelation

  754. of Jesus. I don't ever want to be in a

  755. place that I'm not completely connected Spirit soul and body

  756. to my heavenly father, because of the finished work of Jesus, I

  757. don't have to be I said I don't have to be Hallelujah.

  758. With that being said, we close with this Revelations, one, 17,

  759. and 18, and Paul. And John said, when I saw him, I

  760. fell at his feet as dead and he laid his right hand upon me

  761. saying unto me fear. Not, I am the first and the last

  762. I am, he that liveth and was dead and behold I am alive for

  763. Evermore. Amen.

  764. And have the keys of hell and of death that word hell.

  765. There is the grave He has the keys of the grave and there will

  766. come a day that the grave will give up the dead and come up to

  767. the great white Throne, Judgment of, which he'll open up the

  768. books. And he'll first say, is there a

  769. name written in the Lamb's Book of Life?

  770. Because if there is none of this will matter but when they

  771. couldn't find their name in the Lamb's Book of Life there, no,

  772. they weren't a citizen of the Kingdom.

  773. They had not made Jesus Lord. Then he judged them according to

  774. the books and he cast them into the Lake of Fire which is the

  775. second death. It's not the Lake of Fire.

  776. That's the worst. It's the separation.

  777. For eternity, that you chose to be eternally separated from the

  778. Father and Jesus didn't even want three days.

  779. He didn't even want three days. He didn't want it.

  780. I don't ever want to be cut off from my father.

  781. And I'm glad that Jesus died, Rose.

  782. His blood is the guilt offering from my life.

  783. And that I don't have to one more for a millisecond.

  784. Have to be separated from the heavens.
