  3. Now enjoy this message. Well, it's great to be with you

  4. on this Sunday morning. Wasn't praise and worship.

  5. Wonderful, hallelujah. Praise God.

  6. Hallelujah. And if you don't know me, I am

  7. Pastor Daryl. Huffman.

  8. And I want my lovely wife. She just said, oh, down there,

  9. but I won't have her said, Miss Bonnie.

  10. She's here where, where he's God, somebody was asking me a

  11. little bit about us. I said, well, we've been married

  12. now, 47 years. We've been in the ministry, 46

  13. years, Hallelujah. We've done a few things, and

  14. we're thankful for what God has done for us and with us and

  15. through US. Amen.

  16. And so, we're excited to be here with you today.

  17. And I told Pastor, I said, you know, If I can't do anything

  18. good, I'll make sure I don't do anything bad.

  19. So Hallelujah, so we'll leave me in good shape, praise God, we

  20. did get a few things, we had some more stuff, but it didn't

  21. make it. We were sent him down, but I've

  22. got some books out there. I think it would really be

  23. blessed to get this discovering God's willing way will

  24. absolutely change your life. You know, you have to have the

  25. spirit of faith. That means there's two WS.

  26. If you're going to walk in God's, will you got to have his

  27. word, which shows his what his will is, amen.

  28. And then you have to know his way.

  29. Way. How do I know his way by being

  30. led by the spirit? So we have to have the spirit

  31. and the word working together. If we want our faith to work and

  32. when you get the spirit and the word working together, you'll

  33. find God's way and it'll it'll get you to the blessing.

  34. Amen. And then this other one is

  35. Reviving her passion. These are just a couple of new

  36. ones. I got another one coming out,

  37. it's going to be New Beginnings in Christ, and in that one is

  38. going to be for the new converts.

  39. And those are one of those. It deals with salvation water,

  40. baptism and the baptism in the Holy His spirit.

  41. So that would be given as hoping to get it, but they didn't get

  42. it finished, but it's almost ready to print right now.

  43. Praise God. Amen.

  44. Hallelujah, somebody said, well, you're writing books, I don't

  45. know. Just seemed like a good thing to

  46. know. We felt like the Lord told us to

  47. do this and we're just obeying God.

  48. Amen. Hallelujah.

  49. How many of you have your Bible or instrument of scripture with

  50. you this morning lift it up. Praise God, Amen.

  51. Just say this after me. Lord Jesus, I confess, you are

  52. my Lord and you are the Living Word and you've sent your

  53. written word that I might know you and this day.

  54. I set my faith to receive the word of God.

  55. I placed demand upon the anointing of the Holy Spirit to

  56. speak into me. The very truth.

  57. I need to be set free. I set myself hear the word to

  58. receive the word, and to be a doer this word, and I thank you,

  59. Lord, for confirming this word in my life.

  60. I receive it done in Jesus name. Amen.

  61. Amen. Praise God.

  62. Hallelujah. Well I want you to look in

  63. Romans the 12th chapter. We're going to look there.

  64. Then we're going to go to Second Corinthians.

  65. The fifth chapter, couple places here that we want to take a

  66. moment. Look at I want to share with you

  67. a little bit on the Keys of the Kingdom of God and who we are in

  68. Christ and how to operate those keys.

  69. Amen, is that all right? Hallelujah, must be all right,

  70. because I'm going to do it anyway.

  71. So praise God. But you know, when you read the

  72. Bible and you read in the specially the Epistles, the

  73. letters written to the church, you'll find out that the

  74. majority of that teaching is teaching you how to grow up in

  75. Christ. Amen.

  76. They aren't they will talk to you about being born.

  77. Again they will talk to you about the baptism and holy

  78. spirit. They'll talk to you about

  79. getting in the word but especially the Pauline Epistles.

  80. The letters written by Paul, they were to bring to you the

  81. revelation of who you are in Christ and what God has done for

  82. you. What God is doing in your now.

  83. What God's going to do for you in the eternities?

  84. Amen. And so we need to understand

  85. that Christianity is not get born again said down, hang on,

  86. hold out, and wait, till you get to Heaven someday.

  87. We need to quit preaching, a heaven gospel, and preach a

  88. kingdom. Gospel, they met because the

  89. Lord wants to bring us out of the kingdom of darkness, bring

  90. us over into the kingdom of God, and then he wants us to mature

  91. and grow into who he is created us to be.

  92. So we can do, his will here on this Earth.

  93. Amen. Praise God.

  94. And here Paul in Romans, chapter 12 and verse 2.

    Romans 12 chapter mention

  95. Paul says in, do not be conformed to this world but be

  96. transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove.

  97. What is that good? Good and acceptable and perfect.

  98. Will of God. Notice that Paul says here that

  99. if you don't change your thinking, if you don't renew

  100. your mind after you're born, again, you'll stay conformed to

  101. the world. You'll act like the world, think

  102. like the world be like the world and have what the world has.

  103. Amen. But he says, don't be conformed

  104. to this world. Don't let the world determine

  105. your Christianity. Don't let the world.

  106. Determine who you are. Do not let the world tell you

  107. what you can and cannot do. Amen.

  108. How am I going to do that? I have to know what God says,

  109. because he says, when I renew my mind, I renew how I think, I

  110. renew my attitudes, I renew my see things and renew how talk,

  111. amen. And then he says this, when I

  112. renew my mind to the word of God, I can prove what is the

  113. good acceptable and perfect will of God so you can't prove

  114. something you Oh no. Amen.

  115. Hosea 4:6 says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge

    Hosea 4:6

  116. then he goes on. He says and because you have

  117. rejected knowledge, I read you cannot be a priest unto me.

  118. See the this, this is a lot of people are defeated today,

  119. number one, because they haven't heard the word, amen.

  120. They heard enough to get saved, but then that's about as much as

  121. they've heard. And so therefore, they just stay

  122. in that babyhood stage because you have to hear the word to

  123. know what God's will is. Amen.

  124. But then there are others that are bound and in trouble because

  125. they heard the word, but they rejected it and chose not to

  126. hear it. Not to receive it.

  127. And any part of God's word that you and I refused in our lives,

  128. we can't be a spiritual priest of that word.

  129. Meaning what, we can't work it in our lives and prove it out in

  130. our lives. So I've always been this, when I

  131. hear the word of God, I'm not going to fight it.

  132. I'm going to I'm gonna let the Holy Spirit revealed it to me.

  133. I'm going to embrace it and make it mine.

  134. A man will let God change how I see myself, how I think about

  135. myself, when I think about others, God is going to be in

  136. charge of me, because you see, I'm no longer in the kingdom of

  137. darkness. I'm in the kingdom of God.

  138. Amen. And 1st Thessalonians 5 Paul's

  139. rights over there and he tells the Thessalonians, he says prove

  140. all things and hold fast that which is good.

  141. See when you're facing life's challenges, there are things are

  142. going to come your way and what God says prove them how not

  143. prove them by the word of God and what is good, whatever lines

  144. up with the word of God, whatever is not good.

  145. Is what doesn't line up with the word of God.

  146. So therefore I'm going to prove all things, get rid of the junk

  147. and hang on to What God Says. Amen.

  148. And so we have to go through this transformation.

  149. Now in second Corinthians chapter 5, the Apostle Paul is

    2 Corinthians 5 chapter mention

  150. really bringing this home over here and we'll pick it up in

  151. verse 14 and Paul writing to the Church of Corinth and if you'll

  152. go back, you understand that Corinth of this time was a

  153. Commerce Center. Lot of different people came in

  154. from different parts and they brought in all kinds of

  155. cultures, they brought in all kinds of religions and all kinds

  156. of worldliness, and it was a, it was a real Really corrupt,

  157. carnal City. Amen.

  158. Lot of idol worship. A lot of crazy things and they

  159. were trying to bring that into their Christianity.

  160. So, Paul writes, his first and second letter to them, to help

  161. correct them in their theology. Correct them in their Lifestyles

  162. and help them to begin to be who God created them to be amen.

  163. And so Paul writing here in second Corinthians 5 and verse

  164. 14. He says For the Love of Christ

  165. compels or constrains our urges us because we thus judge that if

  166. one died For all then all died and he died for all that those

  167. who live should live no longer for themselves.

  168. But for him who died for them and rose again therefore from

  169. now on WE regard no one according to the flesh even

  170. though we have known Christ according to the flesh yet now

  171. we know him. Thus no longer therefore if

  172. anyone is in Christ is a new creation, old things have passed

  173. away, All Things become new. Now, all things are of God who

  174. has reconciled us. Brought us back in harmony with

  175. himself through Jesus. Christ has given to us the

  176. ministry of reconciliation that is that God was in Christ.

  177. Reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their

  178. trespasses to them and has committed to us the word of

  179. reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for

  180. Christ as though, God were pleading through us.

  181. We implore you on Christ's behalf be reconciled to God for.

  182. He made him, who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might

  183. become the righteousness of God in him.

  184. Notice in verse 14. Paul takes you from who you were

  185. to the as of God in him, Amen. See Paul is doing for us here in

  186. these verses what he's told us to do in Romans 12:2, he's

    Romans 12:2

  187. taking us from a Conformity of who we were into being conformed

  188. in who we are now in Christ. Amen, he's taking us from

  189. thinking like we used to think before Christ and bringing us

  190. into thinking like we do now, in Christ, he's taking us from

  191. seeing the World, Through The Eyes of sin, and now seeing the

  192. the World Through The Eyes of Christ Our Lord, amen.

  193. Now, notice this, that he says this for the love of Christ,

  194. compels us Paul is not saying this because he's against him,

  195. he saying that because he loves him, he wants to see their lives

  196. changed. Amen.

  197. When you come and hear a word that challenges, you know this,

  198. that if that Pastor sincere, they've gone, he's challenging

  199. you because he loves you, and he wants you to come out of what

  200. the enemy's got you in bondage with so that you can begin to

  201. walk in the victory Of God. Amen.

  202. So always have ears to hear. So that, that word can come to

  203. you. So Paul is being compelled by

  204. love to tell these people something.

  205. What is it? You're trying to get across to

  206. us, Paul. He's saying, we judged us that

  207. if one died for all, then all died and he died for all that

  208. those who live should live no longer for themselves.

  209. But for him who died for them and rose again.

  210. Now, what is Paul saying here? He's saying you need to get a

  211. revelation and if you want this revelation, we won't turn there

  212. now. But re the 6th chapter of Romans

  213. because you'll find out that what Paul is saying here to the

  214. Corinthians, he spelled it out in that sixth chapter of Romans.

  215. When he says this that we died with Christ, we were buried with

  216. With Christ, we suffered and torments with Christ.

  217. We were Justified with Christ. We were raised up with Christ.

  218. Hallelujah. And now we live in Christ.

  219. Hallelujah. Amen.

  220. And what he's saying to them is this if you died to Christ then

  221. you've already died. You don't have to pay for your

  222. sins. Christ has already paid for them

  223. and they're dead and you're dead to the sinful life.

  224. You're dead to who you were now quit living, and who you were

  225. and rise up and live in who you are now in Christ Jesus.

  226. Because just like he's a Alive, you're alive.

  227. Hallelujah. Amen.

  228. And he says, you need to get the Revelation that we are not going

  229. to recognize you any longer through the flesh.

  230. What is Paul saying? He's saying, instead of getting

  231. up in the morning and looking in a natural mirror and going, oh

  232. God, you go ahead and get up in the morning and open up the

  233. Bible. Say glory to God.

  234. Hallelujah James says, I'm to look in this perfect law of

  235. Liberty and see it as a mirror and see myself in that mirror

  236. and stay with it, until I began to take on that image in my

  237. life. Amen.

  238. And so, Paul is saying quit running around here saying,

  239. well, I'm unworthy. I'm just a known about did so

  240. many bad things. Oh, you know, my life was so

  241. simple, I was such a wrong person, you know, I don't

  242. deserve a quit talking that junk because you died with Christ,

  243. and when Christ was raised up, you were raised up with him.

  244. Therefore no longer live according to your past living

  245. who you are now in Christ Jesus. And who you are now in Christ.

  246. Jesus, is this, you are a new creation in.

  247. In Christ. Jesus old things have passed

  248. away their dead and gone and all things have become new and all

  249. things are of God, hallelujah. Amen.

  250. See you. And I need to get ahold of this

  251. week. If you don't walk in this, you

  252. can come to church all the time and you'll still be defeated.

  253. Because you'll still try to live according to works in your good

  254. deeds. But according to the word of

  255. God, all of your works and good. Deeds will not get you anything

  256. with God. It's faith in God's grace and

  257. living and who you are now in Christ Jesus, that gets you the

  258. blessing. Amen, so many Christians today,

  259. we're letting the world condemned us.

  260. We're letting the world. Tell us when the Devil comes on

  261. says, and about the time, you start praying the devil remind

  262. you of something. You did.

  263. Yeah. Oh God.

  264. That's right. That's what I that's me.

  265. No, it's not. You died to that person.

  266. Are you listening to me? You see, when Jesus went on the

  267. cross, he didn't go on the cross as a martyr.

  268. He went on the cross. As a substitute he was

  269. representing you and me, and God laid my sin upon him, God laid,

  270. all of my mistakes and failures, and he didn't just do that.

  271. He put me on him. Hallelujah.

  272. When Jesus was hanging on that cross, he had every one of us on

  273. his shoulders. When Jesus cried out my God, my

  274. God, why have you forsaken me? It was crying out for all of us.

  275. That was our voice crying out, but in Hebrews 1:1 God said this

    Hebrews 1:1

  276. day, Thou Art my son. Today, I have begotten thee.

  277. That was God speaking to us. Hallelujah, amen.

  278. Ain't it amazing on the cross. Jesus cried out.

  279. My God. My God.

  280. Why have you forsaken me? And on the resurrection, God

  281. said, this day, you are my son. You know what God was saying?

  282. When he said this day, you're my son, the Bible says that that we

  283. are all of us recreated in Christ.

  284. Jesus in Ephesians 2:10 unto good works.

    Ephesians 2:10

  285. Amen. You won't happen whenever God

  286. spoke to the Lord Jesus and he said this day.

  287. I have begotten. You and again, I will beat you a

  288. father and this day you will be my son.

  289. God was speaking to the entire human race and he was saying

  290. today, I have begotten, you Today, I have raised you up out

  291. of sin today. I have made you my sons and

  292. daughters today. I have worked this work so that

  293. you can walk in righteousness. Hallelujah.

  294. Now notice I'll take you another stepfather.

  295. Look what Paul does. He take this so far that it

  296. almost makes you want to just tilt?

  297. He says in verse 16 therefore from now on WE regard no one

  298. according to the flesh, notice that.

  299. Now if I'm not to regard you according to the flesh, What's

  300. that mean? That means when you walk in here

  301. and look at you go, oh my God, that's the worst person ever

  302. lived. I remember what they used to do.

  303. Paul says, I don't see you that way.

  304. We're not to see each other. That way Paul says, don't you

  305. judge that person from their past judge him according to what

  306. they did at the altar when God made him a new creation and

  307. change their life and turn them into a son or daughter of God.

  308. Now, if I'm not supposed to look at you that way, how much more

  309. are you supposed to? Not?

  310. Look at yourself that way. Amen, but let's take his

  311. stepfather. This is what really gets to you.

  312. Listen what he says. Therefore, from now, on from the

  313. time, we make Jesus Lord, we regard no one according to the

  314. flesh, even though we have known Christ according to the flesh

  315. yet, now we know him thus no longer Wait a minute, Paul.

  316. What are you saying? Paul is saying this if Jesus is

  317. still a babe in the manger to you, you're missing it.

  318. I Rejoice for the baby in the manger.

  319. The Incarnation was such a miraculous event that God laid

  320. aside, his eternal glory and came to this earth and took upon

  321. himself, the form of Flesh, and Blood, and dwelt among us.

  322. We rejoice in that, we celebrate it.

  323. In fact, we're going to celebrate that here, real soon.

  324. Glory to God, But if that's as far as Jesus issue, is that if

  325. that's how you rate the Jesus you're in trouble.

  326. I reply read, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and I see the,

  327. the servant of God, walking, the will of God and Healing The Sick

  328. and setting people free, and, and teaching, those wonderful

  329. teachings and blessing people. And I rejoice and sing Jesus,

  330. because he's showing me the way I'm supposed to live, but I no

  331. longer know him. As that servant of God, through

  332. the shores of Galilee in the streets of Jerusalem.

  333. I Rejoice that the Lord Jesus prayed through and God the

  334. victory in the garden and then went on the cross, you see Jesus

  335. defeated the cross in the garden.

  336. And then he went on the cross and I rejoice, and I celebrate,

  337. and I'm so thankful for Jesus on the cross, but I don't write on

  338. no Jesus. According to the Cross, who am I

  339. supposed to? How do I relate to Jesus?

  340. Now, I relate to Jesus, as the ascended resurrected, Lord of

  341. lords and King of Kings, the Christ who is seated.

  342. At the right hand of God, who put his Mercy, his blood on The

  343. Mercy Seat of God, and now rules and Reigns in heaven and has

  344. been made. Lord, head of the church and

  345. that at his name, every knee must bow down at his name.

  346. Every tongue must confess that he is, Lord both in heaven Earth

  347. and beneath the earth. I know him as the Lord who said

  348. I am the one who has all authority, going my name and my

  349. power and preach the gospel. Heal the sick, cast out Devils

  350. set. The captives free.

  351. I know the one that when I say his name, demons bow, I know the

  352. one that isn't even. Jesus sickness has to go,

  353. Hallelujah. And I know that at the name of

  354. Jesus, no matter What's in? I've been in in my life when I

  355. say Jesus be my Lord that name brings salvation and redemption

  356. in to me and says me free. See, Paul says, don't know him

  357. in the past or even who he is now.

  358. Hallelujah. And then how I'm supposed to

  359. know Jesus as my Lord and Savior and Redeemer and healer and

  360. King. Right now, I'm supposed to know

  361. me as a new creation in Christ, Jesus.

  362. Created in righteousness, in him.

  363. Hallelujah, I'm to see myself as an adopted son of God.

  364. You see, when you make Jesus Lord, you receive the nature of

  365. a son, but when you'll receive that Spirit of adoption and it

  366. becomes a reality to you adoption, there is a legal term.

  367. It means you are given the same rights as the natural born son,

  368. or you didn't hear me? He saying, now that I've adopted

  369. you, I'm giving you the same legal rights as I My blood born

  370. son, meaning what he raised us up and seated Us in Heavenly

  371. places in Christ Jesus and made us Heirs of God.

  372. And what joint heirs with Christ.

  373. I have the same access to my father, as my older brother

  374. does. Hallelujah.

  375. Woo. And when God looks at me, he

  376. looked at me. Jesus said it.

  377. He said my father's, he loves you, just like he loves me.

  378. Me. He'll now here you just like he

  379. hears me, why? Because when I got adopted, I

  380. had a legal right to the family glory to God and everything.

  381. In the family belongs to me. Praise God.

  382. Woohoo, glory to God in a good. See, we have been brought into

  383. this folks, and this is who you're supposed to see yourself

  384. as now. This is how we're supposed to

  385. walk, and notice is not something you did look on down

  386. here in in verson. Well, let's just look in verse

  387. 15 or I'm sorry Verse 18. He says this.

  388. Now, all things are of God who has reconciled us to himself

  389. through. Jesus Christ has given us the

  390. ministry of this is. So this is to be so real in us

  391. that people see it in us and What we have?

  392. And that we can actually help them to get it.

  393. Praise God. But look what he goes on and

  394. says verse 19. That is that God was in Christ.

  395. Reconciling the world to himself not imputing their trespasses to

  396. them and has committed to us the word of reconciliation that God

  397. was in Christ. Reconciling the world to

  398. himself. This is nothing you and I brag

  399. about folks, this is something we celebrate and rejoice and

  400. give God the glory, my salvation didn't come because I was such a

  401. good person, I did so many good works.

  402. I was in church so many days. I read the Bible through so many

  403. time and then all my, all my good works.

  404. Isaiah said are just like filthy rags.

  405. In that side of God. No, it was God.

  406. In Christ reconciling me to himself.

  407. It was God doing this. So if this was God doing this,

  408. this was God's idea. And if it's God's idea, when the

  409. devil tells me, who do, I think I am, I tell him to go talk to

  410. my father? Hallelujah.

  411. Because it was his idea. What do you think you can do

  412. this? Well, you know, I just hooked up

  413. with God's idea. Amen.

  414. No she says it was God in Christ reconciling bringing the world

  415. back into harmony with himself. Now in Colossians chapter 1,

    Colossians 1 chapter mention

  416. let's look over here real quickly and I want to read this

  417. to you out of the Amplified Bible.

  418. Amplified classic now, Hallelujah.

  419. But in Colossians 1, 12 13 14, he says giving thanks to the

  420. father who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion

  421. which is the inheritance It's of the Saints God's holy people in

  422. the light, the father has delivered and drawn us to

  423. himself out of the control and the Dominion of darkness and has

  424. transferred us into the kingdom of the son of his love in whom

  425. we have Redemption through his blood which means the

  426. Forgiveness or remission of sins.

  427. Now, when we read that through that, we do a lot of times we do

  428. just like we did just now, we read it and we go, oh that's

  429. nice, it's not nice. It's like changing See when you

  430. read the Bible, read the Bible. Hallelujah.

  431. Amen. And let it talk to you.

  432. God is speaking to us here through the Apostle, Paul.

  433. Now, if you really want to get the the full import, let's let's

  434. just back up. Let's start in the bottom and

  435. work our way to the top. Amen.

  436. Other words. Let's go backwards from verse 14

  437. to verse 12. How does this all begin verse 14

  438. in whom told me, the Lord Jesus in whom we have Redemption

  439. through his blood which means the Forgiveness of sins.

  440. Hallelujah, the remission of sin.

  441. Everything begins with, you getting your sins, blotted out,

  442. through the blood of Jesus Christ.

  443. Everything starts with a new birth.

  444. In John chapter 3 Nicodemus, came to the Lord Jesus at night

    John 3 chapter mention

  445. and he begins to talk to and the Lord spoke to him.

  446. He says, listen if you don't get born again, you can't even see

  447. the kingdom of God. He said you got to get boring.

  448. You have to have a birth from above a man.

  449. You have to let God do a work inside of you before, you can

  450. even see what the kingdom has for you.

  451. And so here and we begin to walk.

  452. It says thing backwards, we realize that everything I

  453. Redemption is purchased for us and we begin to see all that God

  454. has for us. When we make Jesus our lord and

  455. we allow the blood of Christ to redeem us and set us free men.

  456. Now somebody says well I believe I'm born again but do I really

  457. have a right to do this? Okay.

  458. Okay. And Hebrews 9 and 10 yards

  459. Turner because we're going to talk in this, but let's just

  460. refer to it in the 9th and 10th chapters of Hebrews.

  461. The Apostle is writing to the Hebrew Christians, and he begins

  462. to talk to them about the power that's in the blood of the lamb.

  463. And he talks to them about the Old Testament, how Moses put the

  464. Tabernacle together. And he says, when he brought

  465. those, those different things in the instruments of worship, the

  466. instruments of service into the Tabernacle Moses was directed by

  467. God, to sprinkle each instrument each thing with the Of an

  468. ancient animal. Wasn't he?

  469. A man? You're wondering why what he's

  470. already talked about, if the blood of bulls and goats and and

  471. it should have her could cleanse us from that weird, man.

  472. How much more will the blood of the Son of God?

  473. The Lamb of God, Jesus himself cleanse us from all sin.

  474. So why did Moses sprinkle blood on those instruments before?

  475. They could take them into the temple to be used as service

  476. unto God because God is perfect. Even the high priest before he

  477. could go in on the day of atonement and could offer the

  478. blood had to go through Washings and purging xand and

  479. confessions, he had to make sure he was right?

  480. Because if he had any sin or fall on his life, he would drop

  481. dead when the persons we got in the presence of God.

  482. Well, when you create lamps, and you create tables and you create

  483. bowls and stuff, if it's you refined the gold as far as you

  484. can refine it. How many of, you know, that most

  485. of the time they're still a flaw in there somewhere?

  486. So if these instruments had flaws in them, then they were

  487. not qualified to be used in the Tabernacle as instruments of

  488. worship and service under God, because the flaws would cause

  489. God to reject them. Amen.

  490. So what was God's solution? God said, take the blood of an

  491. innocent animal calls redemptions in the blood and

  492. sprinkle each one of these instruments before you bring it

  493. in with the blood of the lamb. And that what that did was this

  494. when God looked That instrument where there was a lamp, a bowl

  495. or table, whatever. God didn't see if law made by

  496. man, or a flaw because of the natural.

  497. God saw it through the blood. Hallelujah.

  498. And when God saw that instrument through the blood, he no longer

  499. saw the fall off and they instrument now would be able to

  500. be a warship instrument unto God, and he would receive the

  501. praise and worship from that instrument, amen.

  502. Now the Bible says that Jesus didn't sprinkle us with the

  503. blood of animals, but he sprinkled us with his very own

  504. blood so that when we go into the holy of holies, God, no

  505. longer Of course, he's my flaws. He no longer sees my weaknesses.

  506. He only sees me washed in the blood of the lamb and my praise.

  507. Then becomes received an acceptable unto God.

  508. Come on church. We can worship God because we're

  509. washed in the blood. Hallelujah.

  510. So quit, letting your weaknesses.

  511. Quit letting your past quit. Letting the lies of the enemy.

  512. Yes, you got to grow but you're growing.

  513. Hallelujah. Just washed in the blood and be

  514. who you are now and say God this is the best I am now but it's

  515. washed in the blood but tomorrow is going to be better.

  516. Hallelujah. And next week is going to be

  517. even better than that. Hallelujah.

  518. Because I'm putting on this new Man created in Christ Jesus.

  519. Oh, Glory to God washed blood made.

  520. Holy Amen. The God doesn't leave us there.

  521. Look in verse 13, the father. See it was God in Christ

  522. reconciling the world to himself.

  523. The father. What's he say is doing has

  524. everybody say has that's passed in setting it.

  525. It's a done deal. The father has delivered and

  526. drawn us to himself out of the control and the Dominion of

  527. darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom.

  528. Mm of the son of his love. Oh come on church.

  529. When you were washed in the blood God reached down and took

  530. you out from the authority and the controlling the Dominion of

  531. Satan and brought you out of the kingdom of darkness and brought

  532. you up and set. You under the authority of the

  533. Lord. Jesus Christ and place you in

  534. the kingdom of God and gave you citizen rights and citizenship

  535. in his king of Hallelujah. Come on.

  536. You got to get a hold of this. God didn't just save you and

  537. say, now, make it the best way you can to you get to heaven.

  538. God said, I'm taking you out from under the authority of

  539. Darkness. I'm taking you away.

  540. You know what that means? That means that teaches us.

  541. The sin shall not have dominion over.

  542. You sin shall not have dominion over you sin.

  543. And Satan are synonymous terms. So we could say it like this.

  544. Satan shall not have dominion over you, sickness and disease

  545. is a result of sin. So we can say Like this sickness

  546. and disease shall not have dominion over you.

  547. Come on. Poverty.

  548. Is a part of the curse of the law.

  549. So we can say, like, this poverty, lack in one shall not

  550. have dominion over you because you're not under the kingdom of

  551. darkness, where there's poverty, lack one sickness disease and

  552. all kinds of junk. You are now in the kingdom of

  553. God, where Jesus is your Lord, you've been redeemed from the

  554. curse of the law and brought over to The Blessing of Abraham.

  555. And now, God has drawn you to himself.

  556. The Bible says he's given us The spirit of adoption we cry out

  557. Abba Father daddy father intimate relationship.

  558. Amen. But let's stop.

  559. Let's wait. Wait, wait, there's another

  560. verse verse 12. All of a sudden verse 12.

  561. You understand why Paul saying give thanks, look what he says.

  562. Giving thanks to the father. Who has qualified and made us

  563. fit to share the Porsche, which is the inheritance of the

  564. Saints. God's?

  565. Holy people in the light, what's he saying?

  566. He's saying on your worst day, you are still washed in the

  567. blood. You're still citizen of the

  568. kingdom of God, and you still qualified to go to your father

  569. and pray and get an answer to your prayer.

  570. Hallelujah. If I messed up, I'm qualified to

  571. go to My high priest and my mediator and confess my sins and

  572. he is faithful and just to forgive me of my sins because

  573. I'm qualified to come and get grace and mercy to help me in my

  574. time of need. So mrs.

  575. Now, brother Hub and you'll give people license in the ocean

  576. without a license. I'm trying to get you out of

  577. sin. Amen.

  578. I'm qualify. Listen to me, folks, on the day

  579. that you feel the least spiritual, you're still

  580. qualified to get your healing. Because it's not about you, it's

  581. about what your father has done for you.

  582. All the day, when all of hell is breaking loose, and everything's

  583. coming in, like a flood trying to destroy you, you are still

  584. qualified and made able to partake of your inheritance that

  585. you have in Christ, why? Because God has never left you.

  586. He'll never forsake you. He'll always be there for you.

  587. And if God be for me who can be against me, I'm still a

  588. partaker. I am I had the right to receive

  589. from my father, that if what you said, Amen.

  590. People can be standing out on the street from my house.

  591. And they can stand out there and they can look and my son or my

  592. daughter can pull up and they'll move out of the way and they can

  593. pull into my driveway. And the people on the street and

  594. say, hey, you can't go in there, that's Pastor Hoffman's house.

  595. My son goes, he may be Pastor. I've been to you, but his daddy

  596. to me. Well you can't go under it says

  597. wash me. I'm a Huffman Hallelujah.

  598. And you know what he do, he'll come right through the front

  599. door, walk right in. And if he's hungry, go straight

  600. to food. Sometimes he goes to the

  601. refrigerator before. He says hi.

  602. Amen. Then I've got a grandson, I've

  603. taught for I'm actually, but I've got one of those close to

  604. us and and sometimes they're all there and you talking about a

  605. free-for-all food and drink is not safe in the house Bond and I

  606. we used to us to, but then you all of a sudden, you have, you

  607. know, my daughter shows up with six, my son shows up with for

  608. and all of a sudden they're all teenagers and who can they eat?

  609. How they lie and they just look at me and they go daddy.

  610. Father. How they do in the natural?

  611. And we'll go the refrigerants a bonded then we get these.

  612. She goes well yeah but we're gonna have to get some more

  613. Because you know what they know because their family, they're

  614. qualified to have anything and daddy or Paw Paw's house.

  615. All right, listen to me. Listen, would we get to that

  616. place with our heavenly father? That no matter what's going on

  617. in our life, we are not so shading ourselves with who we

  618. were. We are so seeing ourselves with

  619. who we are now in Christ and we come to our Heavenly Father,

  620. knowing that he has qualified US to receive every spiritual

  621. blessing that he has for us in Christ Jesus, amen.

  622. God qualified you. How through the blood of Jesus

  623. Christ through adopting, you into his family, through

  624. redeeming you from all your past and making you a new creation, a

  625. brand new species of being that never existed.

  626. Assisted before you know, how important and how precious each

  627. one of us are. Not one of us in this place has

  628. the same fingerprints. Amen.

  629. Even twins. Don't have the same

  630. fingerprints. They look alike but their

  631. differences. Meaning what your one off God

  632. only made one of you. You're special.

  633. Okay, let's do me. And you see the devil wants you

  634. to think that you're nothing but God wants you to know who you

  635. are in him. So you begin to walk in The

  636. Inheritance that he is provided for you.

  637. Amen. Now, let me give you one more

  638. set of scriptures and we'll close this.

  639. Look in Matthew the 16th chapter Pleasure.

  640. Mike, share a little bit on this this morning, but I want to just

  641. make a few comments on. How am I going to make this

  642. work? You say brother hovind.

  643. I see I'm a new creation, Jesus. My Lord.

  644. I've been adopted in the family of God, and I've been qualified

  645. now to partake of this inheritance and I'm in harmony

  646. with God and not accept all that.

  647. I'm a new creation. Thank God, my past is under the

  648. blood of Jesus Christ, and God no longer sees me that way he

  649. sees me now as a son or a daughter of God.

  650. Amen. I'm an heir of God, but how do I

  651. walk in this? Well, Matthew 16:13, the Bible

    Matthew 16:13

  652. says, when Jesus came into the region of caesarea Philippi, I

  653. asked the disciples saying, who do men say that?

  654. I, the son of man am. So they said some say, John the

  655. Baptist some Elijah and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.

  656. It is amazing how many different things that religion and the

  657. world's going to tell you about the Lord, don't go down that

  658. anchor. Faith Church a warp.

  659. You they'll tell you that God will heal you gold Olivia.

  660. Go to meet your needs. The God loves you. and anybody

  661. like you not even God could love, so we know they're

  662. preaching false doctrine that But knows the Lord said I,

  663. what's her by saying. What's the, what's the word?

  664. What's the rumor mill going on out there?

  665. And you ever noticed that? If you ask people about the

  666. Lord, you're going to get all kinds of answers.

  667. Amen. But notice in the Lord, takes it

  668. from wants the world saying to, he looks at him.

  669. He says and he said to them, but who do you say that?

  670. I am. But who do you say that?

  671. I am because you see, it's not really important what everybody

  672. else is saying about Jesus. It's what you were saying about

  673. Jesus. That's important.

  674. Are you hearing me in, Romans 3 verses 3 and 4 believes works at

    Romans 3:3

  675. Paul's right? And he just told him in the

  676. first two verses about them, you know, the Israelites being Heirs

  677. of the covenants and promises but then he says this but says,

  678. but what if some didn't believe, well, their unbelief calls the

  679. faithfulness of God to be without effect?

  680. Certainly not, he goes on. He says let God be true but all

  681. men Liars that you may be justified in your sayings and we

  682. overcome with your words. You see folks is not really what

  683. else what everybody else is saying?

  684. It's, what are you saying? What are you saying?

  685. Proverbs 18:21 says the power of death and life is in your

    Proverbs 18:21

  686. tongue. Not other people's tongue.

  687. Well that I get life or death is what's coming out of my mouth.

  688. Not what's coming out yours. You can all stand up and say you

  689. can't do it, you can't do it, you can't do it.

  690. But if I stand up and see but I can do all things through

  691. Christ, who strengthens me, your words become null, and void in

  692. my word is what puts me over. So the Lord is, is looking to

  693. the disciples, and he says, okay, that's what they're

  694. saying. But who do you say that him?

  695. What's, what, what are you saying?

  696. And immediately the Bible says, here Simon, Peter answered and

  697. said, you are the Christ, the son of the Living.

  698. God, Jesus answered and said to him.

  699. Blessed, are you Simon bar Jonah for flesh?

  700. And blood has not revealed this to you.

  701. But my father who is in heaven and I say unto you that you are

  702. Peter and Upon This Rock, I will build my church and the gates of

  703. Hades shall not Prevail against it.

  704. Notice this, that the Apostle Paul Peter jumped right up and

  705. he spoke out and he said, you're the Christ, the anointed one,

  706. you're the Messiah. You're the one sent from God,

  707. you're the Lord, hallelujah. And notice that the Lord Jesus

  708. in calls him his name. Why?

  709. Because the moment you confess the lordship of Jesus, you enter

  710. into a relationship with God, where he knows you on a

  711. first-name basis and he looked at Peter.

  712. He says you'll bless and here's the reason you're blessed Peter,

  713. you didn't get it because somebody else said it, you

  714. didn't get it because you just read it.

  715. Look, you didn't get it because everybody's running around here,

  716. talking all this stuff. You got it because down in your

  717. heart, you allowed God to reveal to you who I am.

  718. And then by faith, you spoke it out of your mouth.

  719. And this is, I'm going to build my church.

  720. People are going to get the personal revelation of my

  721. lordship. They're going to believe it, in

  722. their heart, they're going to confess.

  723. Miss Lord. I'll build a church on that, and

  724. the Gates of Hell cannot overpowered.

  725. Come against it. Hold it down or defeated.

  726. Hallelujah. She then said, I'm going to give

  727. you the keys and I'm going to give you the keys of the

  728. kingdom. And then he goes on.

  729. And he says this, I'll read it to you.

  730. I will give you the keys poor of the kingdom of heaven and

  731. whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in heaven.

  732. Whatever you loose on Earth will be loosed in heaven.

  733. What is he saying, folks? He's saying this, God was in

  734. Christ, reconciling the world to himself and through the blood of

  735. Jesus Christ, he washed you and cleanse you and and wiped away

  736. your sins and blot him out and made you a new creation in

  737. Christ. But he then just make you a new

  738. creation in Christ, he drew you to himself.

  739. Made you a family member. And then he qualified you to

  740. partake of all the blessings that he has just like the blood

  741. son. We the adopted Sons get to have

  742. the same privilege. Are you listening to me?

  743. And then it comes to us. And Lord, here says, now here's

  744. how it works. You can't not get it just

  745. because you heard somebody else say it.

  746. I didn't get healed because I heard brother, Hagin, teach that

  747. he got healed. I got healed whenever I took his

  748. Revelation that he got from the word, spent time with until the

  749. spirit of God, spoke it into my heart.

  750. And then, when it became my Revelation, and I spoke my

  751. Revolution out, my healing came to my mother.

  752. See, I didn't get saved because somebody else confess Jesus as

  753. Lord. Are you hearing me?

  754. See it all starts with that because Peter said you are the

  755. Christ, the anointed one, the son of the Living God and he

  756. said you're blessed because you God reveal that to you, okay?

  757. So when he confessed Jesus Christ that moved him in

  758. position. So the first key is this I have

  759. to believe in my heart. Myself, that Jesus is who the

  760. Bible says, is after believe that he died for my sins, that

  761. he was buried for my pains and punishment that he was raised

  762. from my justification. And now He is my Lord.

  763. And if I confess him as my Lord, I shall be saved.

  764. I didn't get filled with the holy spirit because I went to a

  765. Pentecostal Church. I was Baptist.

  766. Thank God for the southern baptist.

  767. Hallelujah. But I got, I got seeking the

  768. Holy Ghost, and and I found it was real.

  769. I'd so Bonnie and I went to a Pentecostal Church, one, Sunday

  770. morning and all they did was pray loud.

  771. And I said, well, I can pray loud.

  772. I got as much as they got, so I didn't go back, but you don't

  773. have happened. I got a hold of a book by

  774. Kenneth Hagen. And I read those seven vital

  775. steps on, receiving the Holy Spirit and what it was supposed

  776. to do, and I read it and meditate to it, became a

  777. revelation in my heart and God spoke to me, he said, now,

  778. believe you receive and speak it out that I have.

  779. And you know what I did, I use the key that God gave me from

  780. his word and I confess that I received the Holy Spirit and I

  781. got filled the Holy Ghost are speaking in tongues.

  782. In the upstairs, bedrooms Union Hall ranking glaze over union,

  783. union hall, it's where Bonnie grow up.

  784. June, 27 1977. I knew you was curious about

  785. when it was how they literally. That was a Tuesday night if you

  786. don't remember how they live. But I feel the Holy Ghost.

  787. Yeah, I was the first person ever speak in tongues, as first

  788. person ever heard speak in tongues, it was me.

  789. That's praying in tongues immediately devil said, that's

  790. just you. And the Lord spoke to me said no

  791. it is you but is not just you, it's me and you so you just keep

  792. talking how they lujah. Amen.

  793. Glory to God. I got the Revelation that I

  794. could be healed. And I begin to confess my

  795. healings and use the keys to bind sickness and lose healing

  796. in my life because I found out I was qualified to get healed.

  797. I didn't qualify myself, God did it.

  798. See folks, here's the thing. If somebody goes down here to a

  799. grocery store and they purchase a thousand dollar coupon and

  800. bring it back to you and say, there's a thousand dollars.

  801. This coupon will get you anything you need.

  802. Just walk in there, get everything up to a thousand

  803. dollars when you go out, just show them the coupon and walk

  804. right out the door that coupon qualifies me to go into that

  805. store and get anything I want. And I'll have to pay for it.

  806. Because he's already paid for. But if I stay at home and look

  807. at my coupon, Hallelujah. This coupon gives me a thousand

  808. dollars worth of groceries. It's least one group sharpen cut

  809. shopping cart. Hallelujah.

  810. I could go there and get a thousand, you know, I could sit

  811. there in my living room, rejoicing of what I'm qualified

  812. to get and starve to death because faith without works is

  813. dead. And Jesus is saying, you got to

  814. believe, is in your heart, say it with your mouth and move over

  815. and possess it and get it. Amen.

  816. That's how we operate in the Keys of the Kingdom.

  817. We believe we receive it and we speak it out and we take what

  818. God gave us and we reach out and say I'll take that now in Jesus

  819. name. And when the devil tries to come

  820. along and stop, you just say no I have the keys of the authority

  821. of Jesus Christ himself. So, mr.

  822. Devil, I'm going to use the authority of the Lord Jesus

  823. Christ and I bind you in Jesus name.

  824. And when I bind you in Jesus name, it's the same as if Jesus

  825. himself was here binding you. So, you have to submit because

  826. you're not submitting to me. You're submitting to Jesus,

  827. Hallelujah. And God, has my back.

  828. You mess with hitting me, you mess with him.

  829. Amen. See whenever I teach this and I

  830. minister to people, I've watched this this show one time I may

  831. have shared it but it Bears reputation real quick and it was

  832. I like these animal shows. Well, this it was sad beginning

  833. because this these Hunters killed a bear and he and it was

  834. a female and she had a little cub and the Cub got away, but a

  835. cub couldn't defend itself, so it's out there.

  836. And, and, and, and it comes up to this big Griz.

  837. And so this Liebherr, you know, most of the time they'll kill a

  838. cub, but he adopted it. And so you got this huge male

  839. Grizz and you got this company running around together and then

  840. they get separated. And then here comes a mountain

  841. lion. This Cubs having a bad day.

  842. I mean, really bad day and so there's a mountain lion comes

  843. and it's chasing this cover. The whole thing is about this

  844. cup. He runs to the woods, he climbed

  845. a tree, he finally gets on a log and he's going down the river

  846. and the lines running along beside.

  847. And then finally, it gets to the shallows and he's got to get

  848. off. And finally, he's done all he

  849. can do. So he goes and yeah and you

  850. don't know where the big Griz is but it looks like he's all on

  851. his own. You ever been there, when it

  852. looks like everything's coming against you and you're just

  853. trying to do everything, but you're all alone.

  854. And this kid's, this baby bears been running all day long.

  855. So finally, he's run as far as he can run.

  856. He realize they can't make us a turns around and that lines

  857. right there and that little bear stands up on his back to feet

  858. and stands about 3 feet tall and he goes rare, even those those

  859. Paul's up and goes rare and when he does that line comes over and

  860. swats him and he hits him in the Snows, knocked him back that

  861. little bear stands for fermenting, he gets back up on

  862. his feet again because he's fun as far as he's going to run.

  863. And this time of year are his back up on his feet.

  864. And he lifts his hand Palms up niggas rare.

  865. Only this time when he does it, the lion crouches and backs up

  866. and little bear gets a little bit more boring to goes.

  867. Right. And that line turns and runs

  868. just like a little bears. Like hmm.

  869. And then the camera angles shifts.

  870. And this 10-foot Grizz is about five feet behind that little are

  871. standing back there, like a saint.

  872. So the line wasn't running from the Little Cub.

  873. He was running from the big daddy that was behind him.

  874. That says I will eat you if you mess with my son.

  875. Amen. I'm going to tell you what folks

  876. on your worst days what you need to do is quit running from that

  877. line that's roaring around and you need to take, it will stand

  878. because I'm going to tell you what your father in Heaven.

  879. Has your back and your lord is right there with you and you are

  880. qualified to defeat that enemy. Use the keys that God has given
