Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith.
-
Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.
-
Now enjoy this message. Well, it's great to be with you
-
on this Sunday morning. Wasn't praise and worship.
-
Wonderful, hallelujah. Praise God.
-
Hallelujah. And if you don't know me, I am
-
Pastor Daryl. Huffman.
-
And I want my lovely wife. She just said, oh, down there,
-
but I won't have her said, Miss Bonnie.
-
She's here where, where he's God, somebody was asking me a
-
little bit about us. I said, well, we've been married
-
now, 47 years. We've been in the ministry, 46
-
years, Hallelujah. We've done a few things, and
-
we're thankful for what God has done for us and with us and
-
through US. Amen.
-
And so, we're excited to be here with you today.
-
And I told Pastor, I said, you know, If I can't do anything
-
good, I'll make sure I don't do anything bad.
-
So Hallelujah, so we'll leave me in good shape, praise God, we
-
did get a few things, we had some more stuff, but it didn't
-
make it. We were sent him down, but I've
-
got some books out there. I think it would really be
-
blessed to get this discovering God's willing way will
-
absolutely change your life. You know, you have to have the
-
spirit of faith. That means there's two WS.
-
If you're going to walk in God's, will you got to have his
-
word, which shows his what his will is, amen.
-
And then you have to know his way.
-
Way. How do I know his way by being
-
led by the spirit? So we have to have the spirit
-
and the word working together. If we want our faith to work and
-
when you get the spirit and the word working together, you'll
-
find God's way and it'll it'll get you to the blessing.
-
Amen. And then this other one is
-
Reviving her passion. These are just a couple of new
-
ones. I got another one coming out,
-
it's going to be New Beginnings in Christ, and in that one is
-
going to be for the new converts.
-
And those are one of those. It deals with salvation water,
-
baptism and the baptism in the Holy His spirit.
-
So that would be given as hoping to get it, but they didn't get
-
it finished, but it's almost ready to print right now.
-
Praise God. Amen.
-
Hallelujah, somebody said, well, you're writing books, I don't
-
know. Just seemed like a good thing to
-
know. We felt like the Lord told us to
-
do this and we're just obeying God.
-
Amen. Hallelujah.
-
How many of you have your Bible or instrument of scripture with
-
you this morning lift it up. Praise God, Amen.
-
Just say this after me. Lord Jesus, I confess, you are
-
my Lord and you are the Living Word and you've sent your
-
written word that I might know you and this day.
-
I set my faith to receive the word of God.
-
I placed demand upon the anointing of the Holy Spirit to
-
speak into me. The very truth.
-
I need to be set free. I set myself hear the word to
-
receive the word, and to be a doer this word, and I thank you,
-
Lord, for confirming this word in my life.
-
I receive it done in Jesus name. Amen.
-
Amen. Praise God.
-
Hallelujah. Well I want you to look in
-
Romans the 12th chapter. We're going to look there.
-
Then we're going to go to Second Corinthians.
-
The fifth chapter, couple places here that we want to take a
-
moment. Look at I want to share with you
-
a little bit on the Keys of the Kingdom of God and who we are in
-
Christ and how to operate those keys.
-
Amen, is that all right? Hallelujah, must be all right,
-
because I'm going to do it anyway.
-
So praise God. But you know, when you read the
-
Bible and you read in the specially the Epistles, the
-
letters written to the church, you'll find out that the
-
majority of that teaching is teaching you how to grow up in
-
Christ. Amen.
-
They aren't they will talk to you about being born.
-
Again they will talk to you about the baptism and holy
-
spirit. They'll talk to you about
-
getting in the word but especially the Pauline Epistles.
-
The letters written by Paul, they were to bring to you the
-
revelation of who you are in Christ and what God has done for
-
you. What God is doing in your now.
-
What God's going to do for you in the eternities?
-
Amen. And so we need to understand
-
that Christianity is not get born again said down, hang on,
-
hold out, and wait, till you get to Heaven someday.
-
We need to quit preaching, a heaven gospel, and preach a
-
kingdom. Gospel, they met because the
-
Lord wants to bring us out of the kingdom of darkness, bring
-
us over into the kingdom of God, and then he wants us to mature
-
and grow into who he is created us to be.
-
So we can do, his will here on this Earth.
-
Amen. Praise God.
-
And here Paul in Romans, chapter 12 and verse 2.
Romans 12 chapter mention
-
Paul says in, do not be conformed to this world but be
-
transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove.
-
What is that good? Good and acceptable and perfect.
-
Will of God. Notice that Paul says here that
-
if you don't change your thinking, if you don't renew
-
your mind after you're born, again, you'll stay conformed to
-
the world. You'll act like the world, think
-
like the world be like the world and have what the world has.
-
Amen. But he says, don't be conformed
-
to this world. Don't let the world determine
-
your Christianity. Don't let the world.
-
Determine who you are. Do not let the world tell you
-
what you can and cannot do. Amen.
-
How am I going to do that? I have to know what God says,
-
because he says, when I renew my mind, I renew how I think, I
-
renew my attitudes, I renew my see things and renew how talk,
-
amen. And then he says this, when I
-
renew my mind to the word of God, I can prove what is the
-
good acceptable and perfect will of God so you can't prove
-
something you Oh no. Amen.
-
Hosea 4:6 says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge
-
then he goes on. He says and because you have
-
rejected knowledge, I read you cannot be a priest unto me.
-
See the this, this is a lot of people are defeated today,
-
number one, because they haven't heard the word, amen.
-
They heard enough to get saved, but then that's about as much as
-
they've heard. And so therefore, they just stay
-
in that babyhood stage because you have to hear the word to
-
know what God's will is. Amen.
-
But then there are others that are bound and in trouble because
-
they heard the word, but they rejected it and chose not to
-
hear it. Not to receive it.
-
And any part of God's word that you and I refused in our lives,
-
we can't be a spiritual priest of that word.
-
Meaning what, we can't work it in our lives and prove it out in
-
our lives. So I've always been this, when I
-
hear the word of God, I'm not going to fight it.
-
I'm going to I'm gonna let the Holy Spirit revealed it to me.
-
I'm going to embrace it and make it mine.
-
A man will let God change how I see myself, how I think about
-
myself, when I think about others, God is going to be in
-
charge of me, because you see, I'm no longer in the kingdom of
-
darkness. I'm in the kingdom of God.
-
Amen. And 1st Thessalonians 5 Paul's
-
rights over there and he tells the Thessalonians, he says prove
-
all things and hold fast that which is good.
-
See when you're facing life's challenges, there are things are
-
going to come your way and what God says prove them how not
-
prove them by the word of God and what is good, whatever lines
-
up with the word of God, whatever is not good.
-
Is what doesn't line up with the word of God.
-
So therefore I'm going to prove all things, get rid of the junk
-
and hang on to What God Says. Amen.
-
And so we have to go through this transformation.
-
Now in second Corinthians chapter 5, the Apostle Paul is
2 Corinthians 5 chapter mention
-
really bringing this home over here and we'll pick it up in
-
verse 14 and Paul writing to the Church of Corinth and if you'll
-
go back, you understand that Corinth of this time was a
-
Commerce Center. Lot of different people came in
-
from different parts and they brought in all kinds of
-
cultures, they brought in all kinds of religions and all kinds
-
of worldliness, and it was a, it was a real Really corrupt,
-
carnal City. Amen.
-
Lot of idol worship. A lot of crazy things and they
-
were trying to bring that into their Christianity.
-
So, Paul writes, his first and second letter to them, to help
-
correct them in their theology. Correct them in their Lifestyles
-
and help them to begin to be who God created them to be amen.
-
And so Paul writing here in second Corinthians 5 and verse
-
14. He says For the Love of Christ
-
compels or constrains our urges us because we thus judge that if
-
one died For all then all died and he died for all that those
-
who live should live no longer for themselves.
-
But for him who died for them and rose again therefore from
-
now on WE regard no one according to the flesh even
-
though we have known Christ according to the flesh yet now
-
we know him. Thus no longer therefore if
-
anyone is in Christ is a new creation, old things have passed
-
away, All Things become new. Now, all things are of God who
-
has reconciled us. Brought us back in harmony with
-
himself through Jesus. Christ has given to us the
-
ministry of reconciliation that is that God was in Christ.
-
Reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their
-
trespasses to them and has committed to us the word of
-
reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for
-
Christ as though, God were pleading through us.
-
We implore you on Christ's behalf be reconciled to God for.
-
He made him, who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might
-
become the righteousness of God in him.
-
Notice in verse 14. Paul takes you from who you were
-
to the as of God in him, Amen. See Paul is doing for us here in
-
these verses what he's told us to do in Romans 12:2, he's
-
taking us from a Conformity of who we were into being conformed
-
in who we are now in Christ. Amen, he's taking us from
-
thinking like we used to think before Christ and bringing us
-
into thinking like we do now, in Christ, he's taking us from
-
seeing the World, Through The Eyes of sin, and now seeing the
-
the World Through The Eyes of Christ Our Lord, amen.
-
Now, notice this, that he says this for the love of Christ,
-
compels us Paul is not saying this because he's against him,
-
he saying that because he loves him, he wants to see their lives
-
changed. Amen.
-
When you come and hear a word that challenges, you know this,
-
that if that Pastor sincere, they've gone, he's challenging
-
you because he loves you, and he wants you to come out of what
-
the enemy's got you in bondage with so that you can begin to
-
walk in the victory Of God. Amen.
-
So always have ears to hear. So that, that word can come to
-
you. So Paul is being compelled by
-
love to tell these people something.
-
What is it? You're trying to get across to
-
us, Paul. He's saying, we judged us that
-
if one died for all, then all died and he died for all that
-
those who live should live no longer for themselves.
-
But for him who died for them and rose again.
-
Now, what is Paul saying here? He's saying you need to get a
-
revelation and if you want this revelation, we won't turn there
-
now. But re the 6th chapter of Romans
-
because you'll find out that what Paul is saying here to the
-
Corinthians, he spelled it out in that sixth chapter of Romans.
-
When he says this that we died with Christ, we were buried with
-
With Christ, we suffered and torments with Christ.
-
We were Justified with Christ. We were raised up with Christ.
-
Hallelujah. And now we live in Christ.
-
Hallelujah. Amen.
-
And what he's saying to them is this if you died to Christ then
-
you've already died. You don't have to pay for your
-
sins. Christ has already paid for them
-
and they're dead and you're dead to the sinful life.
-
You're dead to who you were now quit living, and who you were
-
and rise up and live in who you are now in Christ Jesus.
-
Because just like he's a Alive, you're alive.
-
Hallelujah. Amen.
-
And he says, you need to get the Revelation that we are not going
-
to recognize you any longer through the flesh.
-
What is Paul saying? He's saying, instead of getting
-
up in the morning and looking in a natural mirror and going, oh
-
God, you go ahead and get up in the morning and open up the
-
Bible. Say glory to God.
-
Hallelujah James says, I'm to look in this perfect law of
-
Liberty and see it as a mirror and see myself in that mirror
-
and stay with it, until I began to take on that image in my
-
life. Amen.
-
And so, Paul is saying quit running around here saying,
-
well, I'm unworthy. I'm just a known about did so
-
many bad things. Oh, you know, my life was so
-
simple, I was such a wrong person, you know, I don't
-
deserve a quit talking that junk because you died with Christ,
-
and when Christ was raised up, you were raised up with him.
-
Therefore no longer live according to your past living
-
who you are now in Christ Jesus. And who you are now in Christ.
-
Jesus, is this, you are a new creation in.
-
In Christ. Jesus old things have passed
-
away their dead and gone and all things have become new and all
-
things are of God, hallelujah. Amen.
-
See you. And I need to get ahold of this
-
week. If you don't walk in this, you
-
can come to church all the time and you'll still be defeated.
-
Because you'll still try to live according to works in your good
-
deeds. But according to the word of
-
God, all of your works and good. Deeds will not get you anything
-
with God. It's faith in God's grace and
-
living and who you are now in Christ Jesus, that gets you the
-
blessing. Amen, so many Christians today,
-
we're letting the world condemned us.
-
We're letting the world. Tell us when the Devil comes on
-
says, and about the time, you start praying the devil remind
-
you of something. You did.
-
Yeah. Oh God.
-
That's right. That's what I that's me.
-
No, it's not. You died to that person.
-
Are you listening to me? You see, when Jesus went on the
-
cross, he didn't go on the cross as a martyr.
-
He went on the cross. As a substitute he was
-
representing you and me, and God laid my sin upon him, God laid,
-
all of my mistakes and failures, and he didn't just do that.
-
He put me on him. Hallelujah.
-
When Jesus was hanging on that cross, he had every one of us on
-
his shoulders. When Jesus cried out my God, my
-
God, why have you forsaken me? It was crying out for all of us.
-
That was our voice crying out, but in Hebrews 1:1 God said this
-
day, Thou Art my son. Today, I have begotten thee.
-
That was God speaking to us. Hallelujah, amen.
-
Ain't it amazing on the cross. Jesus cried out.
-
My God. My God.
-
Why have you forsaken me? And on the resurrection, God
-
said, this day, you are my son. You know what God was saying?
-
When he said this day, you're my son, the Bible says that that we
-
are all of us recreated in Christ.
-
Jesus in Ephesians 2:10 unto good works.
-
Amen. You won't happen whenever God
-
spoke to the Lord Jesus and he said this day.
-
I have begotten. You and again, I will beat you a
-
father and this day you will be my son.
-
God was speaking to the entire human race and he was saying
-
today, I have begotten, you Today, I have raised you up out
-
of sin today. I have made you my sons and
-
daughters today. I have worked this work so that
-
you can walk in righteousness. Hallelujah.
-
Now notice I'll take you another stepfather.
-
Look what Paul does. He take this so far that it
-
almost makes you want to just tilt?
-
He says in verse 16 therefore from now on WE regard no one
-
according to the flesh, notice that.
-
Now if I'm not to regard you according to the flesh, What's
-
that mean? That means when you walk in here
-
and look at you go, oh my God, that's the worst person ever
-
lived. I remember what they used to do.
-
Paul says, I don't see you that way.
-
We're not to see each other. That way Paul says, don't you
-
judge that person from their past judge him according to what
-
they did at the altar when God made him a new creation and
-
change their life and turn them into a son or daughter of God.
-
Now, if I'm not supposed to look at you that way, how much more
-
are you supposed to? Not?
-
Look at yourself that way. Amen, but let's take his
-
stepfather. This is what really gets to you.
-
Listen what he says. Therefore, from now, on from the
-
time, we make Jesus Lord, we regard no one according to the
-
flesh, even though we have known Christ according to the flesh
-
yet, now we know him thus no longer Wait a minute, Paul.
-
What are you saying? Paul is saying this if Jesus is
-
still a babe in the manger to you, you're missing it.
-
I Rejoice for the baby in the manger.
-
The Incarnation was such a miraculous event that God laid
-
aside, his eternal glory and came to this earth and took upon
-
himself, the form of Flesh, and Blood, and dwelt among us.
-
We rejoice in that, we celebrate it.
-
In fact, we're going to celebrate that here, real soon.
-
Glory to God, But if that's as far as Jesus issue, is that if
-
that's how you rate the Jesus you're in trouble.
-
I reply read, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and I see the,
-
the servant of God, walking, the will of God and Healing The Sick
-
and setting people free, and, and teaching, those wonderful
-
teachings and blessing people. And I rejoice and sing Jesus,
-
because he's showing me the way I'm supposed to live, but I no
-
longer know him. As that servant of God, through
-
the shores of Galilee in the streets of Jerusalem.
-
I Rejoice that the Lord Jesus prayed through and God the
-
victory in the garden and then went on the cross, you see Jesus
-
defeated the cross in the garden.
-
And then he went on the cross and I rejoice, and I celebrate,
-
and I'm so thankful for Jesus on the cross, but I don't write on
-
no Jesus. According to the Cross, who am I
-
supposed to? How do I relate to Jesus?
-
Now, I relate to Jesus, as the ascended resurrected, Lord of
-
lords and King of Kings, the Christ who is seated.
-
At the right hand of God, who put his Mercy, his blood on The
-
Mercy Seat of God, and now rules and Reigns in heaven and has
-
been made. Lord, head of the church and
-
that at his name, every knee must bow down at his name.
-
Every tongue must confess that he is, Lord both in heaven Earth
-
and beneath the earth. I know him as the Lord who said
-
I am the one who has all authority, going my name and my
-
power and preach the gospel. Heal the sick, cast out Devils
-
set. The captives free.
-
I know the one that when I say his name, demons bow, I know the
-
one that isn't even. Jesus sickness has to go,
-
Hallelujah. And I know that at the name of
-
Jesus, no matter What's in? I've been in in my life when I
-
say Jesus be my Lord that name brings salvation and redemption
-
in to me and says me free. See, Paul says, don't know him
-
in the past or even who he is now.
-
Hallelujah. And then how I'm supposed to
-
know Jesus as my Lord and Savior and Redeemer and healer and
-
King. Right now, I'm supposed to know
-
me as a new creation in Christ, Jesus.
-
Created in righteousness, in him.
-
Hallelujah, I'm to see myself as an adopted son of God.
-
You see, when you make Jesus Lord, you receive the nature of
-
a son, but when you'll receive that Spirit of adoption and it
-
becomes a reality to you adoption, there is a legal term.
-
It means you are given the same rights as the natural born son,
-
or you didn't hear me? He saying, now that I've adopted
-
you, I'm giving you the same legal rights as I My blood born
-
son, meaning what he raised us up and seated Us in Heavenly
-
places in Christ Jesus and made us Heirs of God.
-
And what joint heirs with Christ.
-
I have the same access to my father, as my older brother
-
does. Hallelujah.
-
Woo. And when God looks at me, he
-
looked at me. Jesus said it.
-
He said my father's, he loves you, just like he loves me.
-
Me. He'll now here you just like he
-
hears me, why? Because when I got adopted, I
-
had a legal right to the family glory to God and everything.
-
In the family belongs to me. Praise God.
-
Woohoo, glory to God in a good. See, we have been brought into
-
this folks, and this is who you're supposed to see yourself
-
as now. This is how we're supposed to
-
walk, and notice is not something you did look on down
-
here in in verson. Well, let's just look in verse
-
15 or I'm sorry Verse 18. He says this.
-
Now, all things are of God who has reconciled us to himself
-
through. Jesus Christ has given us the
-
ministry of this is. So this is to be so real in us
-
that people see it in us and What we have?
-
And that we can actually help them to get it.
-
Praise God. But look what he goes on and
-
says verse 19. That is that God was in Christ.
-
Reconciling the world to himself not imputing their trespasses to
-
them and has committed to us the word of reconciliation that God
-
was in Christ. Reconciling the world to
-
himself. This is nothing you and I brag
-
about folks, this is something we celebrate and rejoice and
-
give God the glory, my salvation didn't come because I was such a
-
good person, I did so many good works.
-
I was in church so many days. I read the Bible through so many
-
time and then all my, all my good works.
-
Isaiah said are just like filthy rags.
-
In that side of God. No, it was God.
-
In Christ reconciling me to himself.
-
It was God doing this. So if this was God doing this,
-
this was God's idea. And if it's God's idea, when the
-
devil tells me, who do, I think I am, I tell him to go talk to
-
my father? Hallelujah.
-
Because it was his idea. What do you think you can do
-
this? Well, you know, I just hooked up
-
with God's idea. Amen.
-
No she says it was God in Christ reconciling bringing the world
-
back into harmony with himself. Now in Colossians chapter 1,
Colossians 1 chapter mention
-
let's look over here real quickly and I want to read this
-
to you out of the Amplified Bible.
-
Amplified classic now, Hallelujah.
-
But in Colossians 1, 12 13 14, he says giving thanks to the
-
father who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion
-
which is the inheritance It's of the Saints God's holy people in
-
the light, the father has delivered and drawn us to
-
himself out of the control and the Dominion of darkness and has
-
transferred us into the kingdom of the son of his love in whom
-
we have Redemption through his blood which means the
-
Forgiveness or remission of sins.
-
Now, when we read that through that, we do a lot of times we do
-
just like we did just now, we read it and we go, oh that's
-
nice, it's not nice. It's like changing See when you
-
read the Bible, read the Bible. Hallelujah.
-
Amen. And let it talk to you.
-
God is speaking to us here through the Apostle, Paul.
-
Now, if you really want to get the the full import, let's let's
-
just back up. Let's start in the bottom and
-
work our way to the top. Amen.
-
Other words. Let's go backwards from verse 14
-
to verse 12. How does this all begin verse 14
-
in whom told me, the Lord Jesus in whom we have Redemption
-
through his blood which means the Forgiveness of sins.
-
Hallelujah, the remission of sin.
-
Everything begins with, you getting your sins, blotted out,
-
through the blood of Jesus Christ.
-
Everything starts with a new birth.
-
In John chapter 3 Nicodemus, came to the Lord Jesus at night
John 3 chapter mention
-
and he begins to talk to and the Lord spoke to him.
-
He says, listen if you don't get born again, you can't even see
-
the kingdom of God. He said you got to get boring.
-
You have to have a birth from above a man.
-
You have to let God do a work inside of you before, you can
-
even see what the kingdom has for you.
-
And so here and we begin to walk.
-
It says thing backwards, we realize that everything I
-
Redemption is purchased for us and we begin to see all that God
-
has for us. When we make Jesus our lord and
-
we allow the blood of Christ to redeem us and set us free men.
-
Now somebody says well I believe I'm born again but do I really
-
have a right to do this? Okay.
-
Okay. And Hebrews 9 and 10 yards
-
Turner because we're going to talk in this, but let's just
-
refer to it in the 9th and 10th chapters of Hebrews.
-
The Apostle is writing to the Hebrew Christians, and he begins
-
to talk to them about the power that's in the blood of the lamb.
-
And he talks to them about the Old Testament, how Moses put the
-
Tabernacle together. And he says, when he brought
-
those, those different things in the instruments of worship, the
-
instruments of service into the Tabernacle Moses was directed by
-
God, to sprinkle each instrument each thing with the Of an
-
ancient animal. Wasn't he?
-
A man? You're wondering why what he's
-
already talked about, if the blood of bulls and goats and and
-
it should have her could cleanse us from that weird, man.
-
How much more will the blood of the Son of God?
-
The Lamb of God, Jesus himself cleanse us from all sin.
-
So why did Moses sprinkle blood on those instruments before?
-
They could take them into the temple to be used as service
-
unto God because God is perfect. Even the high priest before he
-
could go in on the day of atonement and could offer the
-
blood had to go through Washings and purging xand and
-
confessions, he had to make sure he was right?
-
Because if he had any sin or fall on his life, he would drop
-
dead when the persons we got in the presence of God.
-
Well, when you create lamps, and you create tables and you create
-
bowls and stuff, if it's you refined the gold as far as you
-
can refine it. How many of, you know, that most
-
of the time they're still a flaw in there somewhere?
-
So if these instruments had flaws in them, then they were
-
not qualified to be used in the Tabernacle as instruments of
-
worship and service under God, because the flaws would cause
-
God to reject them. Amen.
-
So what was God's solution? God said, take the blood of an
-
innocent animal calls redemptions in the blood and
-
sprinkle each one of these instruments before you bring it
-
in with the blood of the lamb. And that what that did was this
-
when God looked That instrument where there was a lamp, a bowl
-
or table, whatever. God didn't see if law made by
-
man, or a flaw because of the natural.
-
God saw it through the blood. Hallelujah.
-
And when God saw that instrument through the blood, he no longer
-
saw the fall off and they instrument now would be able to
-
be a warship instrument unto God, and he would receive the
-
praise and worship from that instrument, amen.
-
Now the Bible says that Jesus didn't sprinkle us with the
-
blood of animals, but he sprinkled us with his very own
-
blood so that when we go into the holy of holies, God, no
-
longer Of course, he's my flaws. He no longer sees my weaknesses.
-
He only sees me washed in the blood of the lamb and my praise.
-
Then becomes received an acceptable unto God.
-
Come on church. We can worship God because we're
-
washed in the blood. Hallelujah.
-
So quit, letting your weaknesses.
-
Quit letting your past quit. Letting the lies of the enemy.
-
Yes, you got to grow but you're growing.
-
Hallelujah. Just washed in the blood and be
-
who you are now and say God this is the best I am now but it's
-
washed in the blood but tomorrow is going to be better.
-
Hallelujah. And next week is going to be
-
even better than that. Hallelujah.
-
Because I'm putting on this new Man created in Christ Jesus.
-
Oh, Glory to God washed blood made.
-
Holy Amen. The God doesn't leave us there.
-
Look in verse 13, the father. See it was God in Christ
-
reconciling the world to himself.
-
The father. What's he say is doing has
-
everybody say has that's passed in setting it.
-
It's a done deal. The father has delivered and
-
drawn us to himself out of the control and the Dominion of
-
darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom.
-
Mm of the son of his love. Oh come on church.
-
When you were washed in the blood God reached down and took
-
you out from the authority and the controlling the Dominion of
-
Satan and brought you out of the kingdom of darkness and brought
-
you up and set. You under the authority of the
-
Lord. Jesus Christ and place you in
-
the kingdom of God and gave you citizen rights and citizenship
-
in his king of Hallelujah. Come on.
-
You got to get a hold of this. God didn't just save you and
-
say, now, make it the best way you can to you get to heaven.
-
God said, I'm taking you out from under the authority of
-
Darkness. I'm taking you away.
-
You know what that means? That means that teaches us.
-
The sin shall not have dominion over.
-
You sin shall not have dominion over you sin.
-
And Satan are synonymous terms. So we could say it like this.
-
Satan shall not have dominion over you, sickness and disease
-
is a result of sin. So we can say Like this sickness
-
and disease shall not have dominion over you.
-
Come on. Poverty.
-
Is a part of the curse of the law.
-
So we can say, like, this poverty, lack in one shall not
-
have dominion over you because you're not under the kingdom of
-
darkness, where there's poverty, lack one sickness disease and
-
all kinds of junk. You are now in the kingdom of
-
God, where Jesus is your Lord, you've been redeemed from the
-
curse of the law and brought over to The Blessing of Abraham.
-
And now, God has drawn you to himself.
-
The Bible says he's given us The spirit of adoption we cry out
-
Abba Father daddy father intimate relationship.
-
Amen. But let's stop.
-
Let's wait. Wait, wait, there's another
-
verse verse 12. All of a sudden verse 12.
-
You understand why Paul saying give thanks, look what he says.
-
Giving thanks to the father. Who has qualified and made us
-
fit to share the Porsche, which is the inheritance of the
-
Saints. God's?
-
Holy people in the light, what's he saying?
-
He's saying on your worst day, you are still washed in the
-
blood. You're still citizen of the
-
kingdom of God, and you still qualified to go to your father
-
and pray and get an answer to your prayer.
-
Hallelujah. If I messed up, I'm qualified to
-
go to My high priest and my mediator and confess my sins and
-
he is faithful and just to forgive me of my sins because
-
I'm qualified to come and get grace and mercy to help me in my
-
time of need. So mrs.
-
Now, brother Hub and you'll give people license in the ocean
-
without a license. I'm trying to get you out of
-
sin. Amen.
-
I'm qualify. Listen to me, folks, on the day
-
that you feel the least spiritual, you're still
-
qualified to get your healing. Because it's not about you, it's
-
about what your father has done for you.
-
All the day, when all of hell is breaking loose, and everything's
-
coming in, like a flood trying to destroy you, you are still
-
qualified and made able to partake of your inheritance that
-
you have in Christ, why? Because God has never left you.
-
He'll never forsake you. He'll always be there for you.
-
And if God be for me who can be against me, I'm still a
-
partaker. I am I had the right to receive
-
from my father, that if what you said, Amen.
-
People can be standing out on the street from my house.
-
And they can stand out there and they can look and my son or my
-
daughter can pull up and they'll move out of the way and they can
-
pull into my driveway. And the people on the street and
-
say, hey, you can't go in there, that's Pastor Hoffman's house.
-
My son goes, he may be Pastor. I've been to you, but his daddy
-
to me. Well you can't go under it says
-
wash me. I'm a Huffman Hallelujah.
-
And you know what he do, he'll come right through the front
-
door, walk right in. And if he's hungry, go straight
-
to food. Sometimes he goes to the
-
refrigerator before. He says hi.
-
Amen. Then I've got a grandson, I've
-
taught for I'm actually, but I've got one of those close to
-
us and and sometimes they're all there and you talking about a
-
free-for-all food and drink is not safe in the house Bond and I
-
we used to us to, but then you all of a sudden, you have, you
-
know, my daughter shows up with six, my son shows up with for
-
and all of a sudden they're all teenagers and who can they eat?
-
How they lie and they just look at me and they go daddy.
-
Father. How they do in the natural?
-
And we'll go the refrigerants a bonded then we get these.
-
She goes well yeah but we're gonna have to get some more
-
Because you know what they know because their family, they're
-
qualified to have anything and daddy or Paw Paw's house.
-
All right, listen to me. Listen, would we get to that
-
place with our heavenly father? That no matter what's going on
-
in our life, we are not so shading ourselves with who we
-
were. We are so seeing ourselves with
-
who we are now in Christ and we come to our Heavenly Father,
-
knowing that he has qualified US to receive every spiritual
-
blessing that he has for us in Christ Jesus, amen.
-
God qualified you. How through the blood of Jesus
-
Christ through adopting, you into his family, through
-
redeeming you from all your past and making you a new creation, a
-
brand new species of being that never existed.
-
Assisted before you know, how important and how precious each
-
one of us are. Not one of us in this place has
-
the same fingerprints. Amen.
-
Even twins. Don't have the same
-
fingerprints. They look alike but their
-
differences. Meaning what your one off God
-
only made one of you. You're special.
-
Okay, let's do me. And you see the devil wants you
-
to think that you're nothing but God wants you to know who you
-
are in him. So you begin to walk in The
-
Inheritance that he is provided for you.
-
Amen. Now, let me give you one more
-
set of scriptures and we'll close this.
-
Look in Matthew the 16th chapter Pleasure.
-
Mike, share a little bit on this this morning, but I want to just
-
make a few comments on. How am I going to make this
-
work? You say brother hovind.
-
I see I'm a new creation, Jesus. My Lord.
-
I've been adopted in the family of God, and I've been qualified
-
now to partake of this inheritance and I'm in harmony
-
with God and not accept all that.
-
I'm a new creation. Thank God, my past is under the
-
blood of Jesus Christ, and God no longer sees me that way he
-
sees me now as a son or a daughter of God.
-
Amen. I'm an heir of God, but how do I
-
walk in this? Well, Matthew 16:13, the Bible
-
says, when Jesus came into the region of caesarea Philippi, I
-
asked the disciples saying, who do men say that?
-
I, the son of man am. So they said some say, John the
-
Baptist some Elijah and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.
-
It is amazing how many different things that religion and the
-
world's going to tell you about the Lord, don't go down that
-
anchor. Faith Church a warp.
-
You they'll tell you that God will heal you gold Olivia.
-
Go to meet your needs. The God loves you. and anybody
-
like you not even God could love, so we know they're
-
preaching false doctrine that But knows the Lord said I,
-
what's her by saying. What's the, what's the word?
-
What's the rumor mill going on out there?
-
And you ever noticed that? If you ask people about the
-
Lord, you're going to get all kinds of answers.
-
Amen. But notice in the Lord, takes it
-
from wants the world saying to, he looks at him.
-
He says and he said to them, but who do you say that?
-
I am. But who do you say that?
-
I am because you see, it's not really important what everybody
-
else is saying about Jesus. It's what you were saying about
-
Jesus. That's important.
-
Are you hearing me in, Romans 3 verses 3 and 4 believes works at
-
Paul's right? And he just told him in the
-
first two verses about them, you know, the Israelites being Heirs
-
of the covenants and promises but then he says this but says,
-
but what if some didn't believe, well, their unbelief calls the
-
faithfulness of God to be without effect?
-
Certainly not, he goes on. He says let God be true but all
-
men Liars that you may be justified in your sayings and we
-
overcome with your words. You see folks is not really what
-
else what everybody else is saying?
-
It's, what are you saying? What are you saying?
-
Proverbs 18:21 says the power of death and life is in your
-
tongue. Not other people's tongue.
-
Well that I get life or death is what's coming out of my mouth.
-
Not what's coming out yours. You can all stand up and say you
-
can't do it, you can't do it, you can't do it.
-
But if I stand up and see but I can do all things through
-
Christ, who strengthens me, your words become null, and void in
-
my word is what puts me over. So the Lord is, is looking to
-
the disciples, and he says, okay, that's what they're
-
saying. But who do you say that him?
-
What's, what, what are you saying?
-
And immediately the Bible says, here Simon, Peter answered and
-
said, you are the Christ, the son of the Living.
-
God, Jesus answered and said to him.
-
Blessed, are you Simon bar Jonah for flesh?
-
And blood has not revealed this to you.
-
But my father who is in heaven and I say unto you that you are
-
Peter and Upon This Rock, I will build my church and the gates of
-
Hades shall not Prevail against it.
-
Notice this, that the Apostle Paul Peter jumped right up and
-
he spoke out and he said, you're the Christ, the anointed one,
-
you're the Messiah. You're the one sent from God,
-
you're the Lord, hallelujah. And notice that the Lord Jesus
-
in calls him his name. Why?
-
Because the moment you confess the lordship of Jesus, you enter
-
into a relationship with God, where he knows you on a
-
first-name basis and he looked at Peter.
-
He says you'll bless and here's the reason you're blessed Peter,
-
you didn't get it because somebody else said it, you
-
didn't get it because you just read it.
-
Look, you didn't get it because everybody's running around here,
-
talking all this stuff. You got it because down in your
-
heart, you allowed God to reveal to you who I am.
-
And then by faith, you spoke it out of your mouth.
-
And this is, I'm going to build my church.
-
People are going to get the personal revelation of my
-
lordship. They're going to believe it, in
-
their heart, they're going to confess.
-
Miss Lord. I'll build a church on that, and
-
the Gates of Hell cannot overpowered.
-
Come against it. Hold it down or defeated.
-
Hallelujah. She then said, I'm going to give
-
you the keys and I'm going to give you the keys of the
-
kingdom. And then he goes on.
-
And he says this, I'll read it to you.
-
I will give you the keys poor of the kingdom of heaven and
-
whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in heaven.
-
Whatever you loose on Earth will be loosed in heaven.
-
What is he saying, folks? He's saying this, God was in
-
Christ, reconciling the world to himself and through the blood of
-
Jesus Christ, he washed you and cleanse you and and wiped away
-
your sins and blot him out and made you a new creation in
-
Christ. But he then just make you a new
-
creation in Christ, he drew you to himself.
-
Made you a family member. And then he qualified you to
-
partake of all the blessings that he has just like the blood
-
son. We the adopted Sons get to have
-
the same privilege. Are you listening to me?
-
And then it comes to us. And Lord, here says, now here's
-
how it works. You can't not get it just
-
because you heard somebody else say it.
-
I didn't get healed because I heard brother, Hagin, teach that
-
he got healed. I got healed whenever I took his
-
Revelation that he got from the word, spent time with until the
-
spirit of God, spoke it into my heart.
-
And then, when it became my Revelation, and I spoke my
-
Revolution out, my healing came to my mother.
-
See, I didn't get saved because somebody else confess Jesus as
-
Lord. Are you hearing me?
-
See it all starts with that because Peter said you are the
-
Christ, the anointed one, the son of the Living God and he
-
said you're blessed because you God reveal that to you, okay?
-
So when he confessed Jesus Christ that moved him in
-
position. So the first key is this I have
-
to believe in my heart. Myself, that Jesus is who the
-
Bible says, is after believe that he died for my sins, that
-
he was buried for my pains and punishment that he was raised
-
from my justification. And now He is my Lord.
-
And if I confess him as my Lord, I shall be saved.
-
I didn't get filled with the holy spirit because I went to a
-
Pentecostal Church. I was Baptist.
-
Thank God for the southern baptist.
-
Hallelujah. But I got, I got seeking the
-
Holy Ghost, and and I found it was real.
-
I'd so Bonnie and I went to a Pentecostal Church, one, Sunday
-
morning and all they did was pray loud.
-
And I said, well, I can pray loud.
-
I got as much as they got, so I didn't go back, but you don't
-
have happened. I got a hold of a book by
-
Kenneth Hagen. And I read those seven vital
-
steps on, receiving the Holy Spirit and what it was supposed
-
to do, and I read it and meditate to it, became a
-
revelation in my heart and God spoke to me, he said, now,
-
believe you receive and speak it out that I have.
-
And you know what I did, I use the key that God gave me from
-
his word and I confess that I received the Holy Spirit and I
-
got filled the Holy Ghost are speaking in tongues.
-
In the upstairs, bedrooms Union Hall ranking glaze over union,
-
union hall, it's where Bonnie grow up.
-
June, 27 1977. I knew you was curious about
-
when it was how they literally. That was a Tuesday night if you
-
don't remember how they live. But I feel the Holy Ghost.
-
Yeah, I was the first person ever speak in tongues, as first
-
person ever heard speak in tongues, it was me.
-
That's praying in tongues immediately devil said, that's
-
just you. And the Lord spoke to me said no
-
it is you but is not just you, it's me and you so you just keep
-
talking how they lujah. Amen.
-
Glory to God. I got the Revelation that I
-
could be healed. And I begin to confess my
-
healings and use the keys to bind sickness and lose healing
-
in my life because I found out I was qualified to get healed.
-
I didn't qualify myself, God did it.
-
See folks, here's the thing. If somebody goes down here to a
-
grocery store and they purchase a thousand dollar coupon and
-
bring it back to you and say, there's a thousand dollars.
-
This coupon will get you anything you need.
-
Just walk in there, get everything up to a thousand
-
dollars when you go out, just show them the coupon and walk
-
right out the door that coupon qualifies me to go into that
-
store and get anything I want. And I'll have to pay for it.
-
Because he's already paid for. But if I stay at home and look
-
at my coupon, Hallelujah. This coupon gives me a thousand
-
dollars worth of groceries. It's least one group sharpen cut
-
shopping cart. Hallelujah.
-
I could go there and get a thousand, you know, I could sit
-
there in my living room, rejoicing of what I'm qualified
-
to get and starve to death because faith without works is
-
dead. And Jesus is saying, you got to
-
believe, is in your heart, say it with your mouth and move over
-
and possess it and get it. Amen.
-
That's how we operate in the Keys of the Kingdom.
-
We believe we receive it and we speak it out and we take what
-
God gave us and we reach out and say I'll take that now in Jesus
-
name. And when the devil tries to come
-
along and stop, you just say no I have the keys of the authority
-
of Jesus Christ himself. So, mr.
-
Devil, I'm going to use the authority of the Lord Jesus
-
Christ and I bind you in Jesus name.
-
And when I bind you in Jesus name, it's the same as if Jesus
-
himself was here binding you. So, you have to submit because
-
you're not submitting to me. You're submitting to Jesus,
-
Hallelujah. And God, has my back.
-
You mess with hitting me, you mess with him.
-
Amen. See whenever I teach this and I
-
minister to people, I've watched this this show one time I may
-
have shared it but it Bears reputation real quick and it was
-
I like these animal shows. Well, this it was sad beginning
-
because this these Hunters killed a bear and he and it was
-
a female and she had a little cub and the Cub got away, but a
-
cub couldn't defend itself, so it's out there.
-
And, and, and, and it comes up to this big Griz.
-
And so this Liebherr, you know, most of the time they'll kill a
-
cub, but he adopted it. And so you got this huge male
-
Grizz and you got this company running around together and then
-
they get separated. And then here comes a mountain
-
lion. This Cubs having a bad day.
-
I mean, really bad day and so there's a mountain lion comes
-
and it's chasing this cover. The whole thing is about this
-
cup. He runs to the woods, he climbed
-
a tree, he finally gets on a log and he's going down the river
-
and the lines running along beside.
-
And then finally, it gets to the shallows and he's got to get
-
off. And finally, he's done all he
-
can do. So he goes and yeah and you
-
don't know where the big Griz is but it looks like he's all on
-
his own. You ever been there, when it
-
looks like everything's coming against you and you're just
-
trying to do everything, but you're all alone.
-
And this kid's, this baby bears been running all day long.
-
So finally, he's run as far as he can run.
-
He realize they can't make us a turns around and that lines
-
right there and that little bear stands up on his back to feet
-
and stands about 3 feet tall and he goes rare, even those those
-
Paul's up and goes rare and when he does that line comes over and
-
swats him and he hits him in the Snows, knocked him back that
-
little bear stands for fermenting, he gets back up on
-
his feet again because he's fun as far as he's going to run.
-
And this time of year are his back up on his feet.
-
And he lifts his hand Palms up niggas rare.
-
Only this time when he does it, the lion crouches and backs up
-
and little bear gets a little bit more boring to goes.
-
Right. And that line turns and runs
-
just like a little bears. Like hmm.
-
And then the camera angles shifts.
-
And this 10-foot Grizz is about five feet behind that little are
-
standing back there, like a saint.
-
So the line wasn't running from the Little Cub.
-
He was running from the big daddy that was behind him.
-
That says I will eat you if you mess with my son.
-
Amen. I'm going to tell you what folks
-
on your worst days what you need to do is quit running from that
-
line that's roaring around and you need to take, it will stand
-
because I'm going to tell you what your father in Heaven.
-
Has your back and your lord is right there with you and you are
-
qualified to defeat that enemy. Use the keys that God has given
-
you and impart the power of the Kingdom in your situation.
-
Amen. Thank you so much.
