  49. we're gonna come out of the Book of Ephesians, chapter two,

  50. starting in verse sixteen. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Galatians, You're right.

  51. I told you I was dizzy. Galations absolutely, Galations, chapter two,

  52. starting in verse sixteen. Amen, that's exactly where I wanna be.

  53. Let's start at verse fifteen. Amen. These this, these verses

  54. that I will be expounding on, are a mirror to

  55. your soul, Amen, because it's gonna suggest to you, uh,

  56. how you were justified by Jesus Christ, Amen, and how

  57. you was redeemed. And it's gonna speak to you that

  58. He has justified you and redeemed you. But now how

  59. are you living? Amen? Are you living by the justification

  60. and the redemption of what He did? Are you doing

  61. like the world says it don't matter what he did.

  62. I don't care. I'm gonna live my life the way

  63. I want to. But here Paul is telling us how

  64. he lived his life now versus the way he used

  65. to live his life. We understanding this. He's talking about

  66. how he's living in now versus how he used to

  67. live it. Amen, And it said, who are Jews by nature? Who?

  68. It says, we who are jewsed by nature? We who

  69. are jewsed by nature. There's a significance of that. And

  70. not centers of the gentiles, knowing that a man is

  71. not justified by the works of the law, not justified

  72. by the it's impossible, but by the faith of Jesus Christ.

  73. Even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might

  74. be justified by the faith of Christ and not by

  75. the works of the law. For by the works of

  76. the law shall no flesh be justified. But let me

  77. read that again. Something here the spirit hit me right there.

  78. It says that we might be justified by the faith

  79. of Christ, justified by the faith of Christ, and not

  80. by the works of the law. For by the works

  81. of the law shall no flesh be justified. No flesh,

  82. no flesh. But if But if while we seek to

  83. be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners.

  84. Is there therefore is therefore Christ the minister of sin.

  85. God forbid, I'm gonna break I'm gonna come back and

  86. break this down. For if I build again the things

  87. which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For through

  88. the law am dead to the Law, that I might

  89. live unto God. I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live, yes,

  90. yet not I, but Christ that lives in me, and

  91. the life which I now live in the flesh, and

  92. the life which I now live in the flesh. I

  93. live by the faith of the Son of God, who

  94. loved me and gave himself for me. I do not

  95. frustrate the grace of God, he says in verse twenty twenty.

  96. I now live in faith. I live by the faith

  97. of the Son of God, who love me, who loved

  98. me and gave himself for me. So what so now,

  99. since all that's relevant to me, I do not frustrate

  100. the grace of God. For if righteousness came by the law,

  101. then Christ is dead in vain. Amen may be seated

  102. in the house of the Lord. I'm gonna try not

  103. to be to LinkedIn it. But I want to break

  104. this down. Aymen, we who verse fifteen, are you with me,

  105. We who are Jews by nature, in other words, with

  106. Paul is saying, we out of know better, We ought

  107. to know better, we who are Jews by nature, and

  108. not centers of the gentile. See, the Gentiles only knew

  109. what the Jews told them. You understand, they only knew

  110. what the Jews told them because they was not privileged

  111. to have the law as the Jews did. And you're listening,

  112. they wasn't privileged, so and not centers of the gentile,

  113. as the verse says, we who are Jews by nature,

  114. we aret to know better. But just because the gentiles

  115. don't know better, don't give him a free by You

  116. don't hear what I'm saying, knowing that a man is

  117. not justified by the works of the law, knowing the

  118. Jews are saying, we know because we know the law that,

  119. but we are not justified by the works of the law,

  120. because they're saying, it's impossible to be justified by the

  121. works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ.

  122. And the faith in Jesus Christ is the faith of

  123. the Cross. That's the faith of Jesus Christ. The Cross.

  124. Without the cross, none of this could be what it's

  125. gonna be. And without the cross, when Jesus walked the earth,

  126. if he didn't go to the if we didn't have

  127. the cross, that means Jesus told a lie Amen, knowing

  128. that a man is not justified by the works of

  129. the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ. Even

  130. we Jews have believed in Jesus Christ. The object of

  131. the faith of every Christian should be the Cross. The

  132. object of our faith should be in the cross. It

  133. said that we might be justified by the faith of Christ,

  134. and not by the works of the law, by Jesus Christ,

  135. not by the works of the law. For by the

  136. works of the law shall no flesh be justified. It

  137. can't be done. But if we but if while we

  138. seek to be justified by the cross. In other words,

  139. if you seeking to be justified by the cross, that

  140. means you are seeking the trust in what Jesus Christ

  141. did at the cross. But if while we seek to

  142. be justified by Christ, then we're seeking the faith of

  143. what Jesus Christ did at the cross. Ay man, we

  144. ourselves also are found sinners. But we're supposed to be

  145. trusting in what Christ did at the Cross, We ourselves

  146. also are found sinners if we fail thereby sinning in

  147. some way, if we fail by sinning in some way,

  148. And it goes on saying so, then it goes on

  149. to say, we found because of the Cross, sin was abolished.

  150. But if we found ourselves sinning by some way, then

  151. it goes on to say, is therefore Christ the minister

  152. of sining? God forbid? So, so it's saying, is are

  153. you blaming Christ for your failure? That's what it's saying.

  154. Christ ain't failed you did. That's what it's saying. Right

  155. here is there It says, is therefore Christ the minister

  156. of sining? Christ is not the minister of sining. If

  157. that be so, we are Is Christ to be blamed

  158. for a sinning? No, he adbotish sin. You got a choice,

  159. and you got power that God gave you with the choice,

  160. And he says, God forbid. See the crosshidn't failed. We did.

  161. Cross didn't fail. I remember you. I remember a while

  162. years ago, I appreciate a message talking about faith and

  163. all this and people I got faith in it. Well,

  164. faith ain't fail you did faith. Don't fail you fail

  165. in your faith. Jesus Christ is not the minister of saying.

  166. You can't blame him for it. He ad botised the sin.

  167. You all you gotta do is walk behind him? Is it?

  168. Eighteen says? For if I build again, if I build again,

  169. if I build again, if I build a again again again,

  170. I'm gonna build it all again the things which I destroyed.

  171. Going back to the law, you're gonna revert back to

  172. the law. When Jesus fulfilled the law already, But you're

  173. gonna revert back to the law. Okay, I make myself

  174. a transgressor if you do that, Bible, that's not y'all tompkins.

  175. If I build again, you make yourself a transgression. You're

  176. reverting back to the law. Watch this reverting back to

  177. the law, and you depart from God when you do that,

  178. I make myself a transgressor. So if you revert back

  179. to any type of the law, any type. Are y'all

  180. hearing me? That's very important? Now, any type type type

  181. very important. If you revert back to any type, any

  182. type of the law, it's a departure from God. For

  183. I through the law, for I through the law Christ.

  184. Christ perfectly perfected and kept the law and suffered it's

  185. just penalties. Christ did that for you and for me.

  186. Listen to this. For I through the law Christ, he

  187. has perfectly kept the law when he walked the earth

  188. and suffered its penalties. He did that all on our behalf.

  189. Watch the rest of it. So for I am, for

  190. I through the law, am dead to the law. Okay,

  191. watch this. The law is not dead, but I am

  192. dead to the law. Listen. The law is not dead,

  193. but I'm dead to the law. Why because Jesus Christ

  194. perfected it and finished it. The law is not dead,

  195. but I am dead through the law a man. Why

  196. because I've died with Christ. That's why. See, if you

  197. can get it in your spirit to understand the last

  198. days of Jesus and what he did.

  199. For us, it involved us, It involved us totally, totality,

  200. with totality, From the moment that they pressed that crown

  201. on his head, the crown was pressed on our head.

  202. Y'all not hearing what I'm saying. From the moment he

  203. was tied to the whooping post, our backs were being whipped, y'all,

  204. hear what I'm saying. Listen, listen, this is what this

  205. is speaking to you. If you got you gotta visualize,

  206. you gotta spiritually understand what he's saying. Get passed the

  207. words and get into the word. Aymen. So he says,

  208. I am crucified with Christ. Let me go back to

  209. nineteen five through the law am dead to the law.

  210. So the law is not dead, but I am dead

  211. to the law because of Jesus Christ. Now, because of

  212. Jesus Christ. Let me help y'all out. Let's call the

  213. Romans chapter six, Romans chapter six. Get that said. Man,

  214. I want you to see this. There's gonna be some verses.

  215. I'ma read y'all just gonna have to write them down.

  216. But I want you to see this. Romans chapter six,

  217. verse three. Romans Chapter six and verse three. No, it

  218. says now you it says, no, you're not that so

  219. many of us as were baptized into Christ. So this

  220. is not a baptism of water. Okay, just ain't with

  221. them men, kick it down, bring it up. This is

  222. a baptism into Christ and not water. We're baptized until

  223. his death. That's the important part right there, know you?

  224. Not?

  225. For so many of us were baptized into Christ, were

  226. baptized into his death. When Christ died on the cross,

  227. in the mind of God, we did too. Are you

  228. with me? Let me say again, when Jesus Christ died

  229. on the cross, in the mind of God, we did too.

  230. Are you with me? He became our substitute, Amen, and

  231. our identification. He didn't just become our substitute, he became

  232. our identification. Amen. We identified with him in his death. Amen. Amen.

  233. So when he died in God's mind, we die. And

  234. the death of Christ, because he was our substitute and

  235. we identified with him, death gave us all the benefits

  236. as well, for which he died. Is to sink it in. In

  237. other words, he did it for us so that we

  238. can have the benefits of death to life. Amen. Therefore

  239. we are burying with him verse four by baptism into death.

  240. This ain't why of baptism baptism into him. See, we

  241. ain't only died with him, but we was also buried

  242. with him. This is spiritually deserned. Now not only did

  243. we die when he died, but we was also buried

  244. when he was buried. We had to be so when

  245. he was buried, we were buried. Therefore we are buried

  246. with him by baptism into death. So when he was buried,

  247. we were buried with him as well, which means that

  248. all the sin somebody say, sin and trusgression of stay

  249. with me, of our past were buried. Let's say that again. Therefore,

  250. all of our sin, trustgrassion, trusgrasson were buried also secause

  251. when they put him in the tomb. When they put

  252. him in the tomb, they put all of our sins

  253. in that tomb too. And the rest of the verse

  254. says that like as Christ was risen from the day,

  255. y'all better hear this, that like as Christ was risen

  256. up from the dead by the glory of the Father,

  257. by he was risen up by the glory of the Father.

  258. Even so we also, somebody say, we also should walk

  259. in newness of life. So we died with him, and

  260. we were buried with him, And the resurrection was our

  261. resurrection to newness of life. See, when we died with him,

  262. we were buried with him. We resurrected with him, and

  263. when he resurrected it was a new life. So when

  264. we died, when we were buried, when we resurrected, we

  265. ain't had an old life. No more. We got a

  266. new life. We got a new look. We got a

  267. new way of walking, We got a new way of talking,

  268. we got a new wab of hearing. We got a

  269. new way of dealing with things. Because we brand new,

  270. we now who we are used to be. Your name

  271. ain't Lisa no More's Lisha. Amen, your name is still Lisa,

  272. you say, amen. Amen, Let me see when I'm gonna

  273. stop right there? Oh, I'm back here. First chapter in Romans,

  274. Chapter six, seple. I want to elaborate on some more

  275. of this. So to live this life, we gotta understand

  276. the likeness of his death. See, we gotta understand the

  277. likeness of his death, which is the same as we

  278. died when he died. Understand the likeness of his death

  279. about which all of this was done. Amen, Verse twenty.

  280. It's powerful. I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless I live

  281. Yet not. I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless I live

  282. yet not. I see it's not I, it's not you

  283. no more. But Christ lives in me and the life

  284. which I now live in the flesh, in my other words,

  285. my daily walk before God. I live by faith of

  286. the Son of God, which is the cross The faith

  287. is the cross of what Jesus Christ did for us.

  288. I live by the faith of the Son of God.

  289. The cross is our objective amen of our faith. Who

  290. loved me and gave himself for me. This is the

  291. only way we were gonna be saved, that the fact

  292. that He gave himself for us. So what Paul was

  293. saying in verse twenty is this is when he says,

  294. I am crucified with Christ. This is his foundation of

  295. all his victory. You are crucified with Christ. That's the

  296. foundation of your victory. You are crucifile with Christ. So

  297. that's the foundation of your victory. But nevertheless, I live,

  298. you have a new life. Yet not I but Christ. See.

  299. In other words, we don't live by our own strength

  300. and our own abilities anymore. We shouldn't be. If we are,

  301. then we need to go back to the cross. Hey man,

  302. we're not living by our own strength and our own abilities. Now. Ah,

  303. thank you Jesus, thank you Lord. We're not living by

  304. our own strength and our own abilities anymore. But Christ

  305. lives in me. Uh huh. Twenty one. I do not

  306. frustrate the grace of God. Why God, who loved me

  307. and gave himself for me. Is the only way that

  308. I could be saved is that God died for me.

  309. That's the only way that I and lived again. He

  310. didn't just die, he lived again by the glory of

  311. God's power raised him up. So I do not frustrate

  312. the grace of God. So if we make anything other

  313. than Jesus Christ and the Cross our faith, we frustrate God.

  314. We frustrate in God. I do not frustrate the grace

  315. of God. We can't make anything other than Christ of

  316. the Cross, the objective of our faith. Nothing. And they

  317. tell you something different when you go to AA. You

  318. can make anything saith long you just believe in it

  319. and it can help you put drink and it can't.

  320. It can't. I know classes. I wouldn't alcoholic either, but

  321. I taught those classes. I got a little little backlash

  322. folks telling me, how can you tell us where we are?

  323. You ain't being where we be in I say, I

  324. ain't got to go where you go. I ain't got

  325. to drink to see that your food for putting something

  326. in your body that don't belong in your body. Alcohol.

  327. God didn't make your body for alcohol. He didn't make

  328. your body for smoking. He didn't make your body for

  329. the wrong drugs. Amen. He didn't even make your body

  330. for alcohol drugs period. It was because of the fall

  331. that we needed drugs, because of the imperfections of the

  332. body system. Amen. Amen. So I do not frustrate the

  333. grace of God. We can't frustrate the grace of God,

  334. which means when you frustrate the grace of God, you

  335. don't want to do that because it stops the favor

  336. in your life. Amen, in unmerited favor of God. The

  337. grace of God is the favor of God, and when

  338. you frustrate it, no favor, it stops the actions of

  339. the favor, and the Holy goes. Oh my God, somebody say,

  340. the Holy ghost when you frustrate the grace of God. Yeah,

  341. better hear this is important to your life. The Holy

  342. Ghost will not help you anymore. When you frustrate the

  343. grace of God, the Holy Ghost won't help you. You

  344. need the Holy Ghost. Don't frustrate the grace. See all

  345. them people frustrating the grace of God believing in anything

  346. other than the Cross, and believe in anything that the

  347. hope that we have is in the Cross. Because of

  348. Jesus Christ. It's in Jesus Christ Cross, Jesus Christ. Same thing.

  349. They frustrate the grace of God. All the folks run

  350. around believing in Mary. That's some Catholics, all of them

  351. believing in Buddha. They frustrate the grace of God because

  352. they don't believe in the cross. All them Jews, they

  353. don't even believe Jesus Christ has come. They frustrate the

  354. grace of God. Glory to God, Hallelujah, Glory to God. Glory.

  355. You don't want to frustrate the grace of God. I

  356. do not frustrate the grace of God. For if righteousness

  357. came by the law, any type of law, then Christ

  358. is dead in vain. If I can successfully live by

  359. I live for the Lord by any means other than

  360. faith in Christ, then Jesus Christ was murdered and the

  361. cross was a waste. The death of Jesus was in vain.

  362. So you can't live by any other thing. Aymen, now

  363. you've heard what Paul had said. Amen, you heard it.

  364. So I pray that this word of God will enhance

  365. our faith. Amen, it will enhance the faith walk. See faith,

  366. there's a faith walk. In other words, the walk part

  367. of faith is that we walk in belief of the Cross,

  368. which is not a literal walking like this, it's a living.

  369. That's the walk. It's the way we live. And the

  370. way you live will implicate the faith you got in

  371. Jesus Christ. The way you live, what you believe, how

  372. you react, and how you respond, how you respond better

  373. than how you react. Amen. So I pray that this

  374. enhances our faith walk in our daily living, and that

  375. it will exemplify the Christian life that we perfessed as

  376. we professor as Christians. Everybody professing to be a Christian,

  377. it's mind bothering, nerve racking. They ain't bit more a

  378. Christian than a man on the moon. Ain't no man

  379. on the moon. So that means they ain't no Christian.

  380. But everybody's a Christian. You a Christian? Yeah, I've been baptized. Yeah,

  381. dry devil down in a what demon came up? You

  382. ain't a Christian because some idiot baptized you. First of all,

  383. you don't baptize folks without teaching. You don't baptize folks

  384. without counsel. You don't marry folks without counsel. Folks marry

  385. anybody me and the mean women and women heathens back

  386. getting baptized. Baptism is the outwit showing of anything happened.

  387. If you ain't been baptized in Jesus Christ, you ain't

  388. got no business being baptized in the water. Y'all, hear

  389. what I'm saying. Baptism isn't out. We'll showing off anyone happening.

  390. You baptized the heat and he's gonna be in worship

  391. shape than he was before he went down. He gonna

  392. come up even more evil than before. And what we are,

  393. the disciples and representatives of Jesus Christ, how are you

  394. representing them? How are you walking in this world? See?

  395. Because these these these passes of scripture from Paul is

  396. he's dealing with perversion of the attack of the enemy

  397. to divide the people of God. It's working. It's working.

  398. Somebody says, working among themselves by division, we our own enemy.

  399. We don't need the devil. Right, he done work it out.

  400. Saints of God are their own enemies. See. The devil

  401. will do anything to separate people's people of God's people.

  402. He'll do anything to separate us from the love of

  403. God and what God has. He definitely definitely. Somebody say

  404. definitely wants to separate us from what God has for us.

  405. You know what God has for us eternity. Ain't talking

  406. about no houses and cars, ain't talking about no money,

  407. no husband, no wife, no children. I'm talking about eternity

  408. in heaven when our Lord and say to Jesus Christ,

  409. and he'll do anything to separate us from the love

  410. of God and what God has for us. Anything. He's

  411. approached the church, he's gotten into the church. He gotten

  412. into the church. Church ain't come about the building some

  413. of the people, and we have divided ourselves. We have

  414. divided ourselves. Go we call ourselves Catholic, we call ourselves Baptists,

  415. we call ourselves seven day of ventis we call ourselves

  416. Church and God in Christ we call ourselves fifteen percenters.

  417. We call ourselves five percenters. We have separated ourselves. We

  418. call ourselves seven day of ventisies. He has got in

  419. the church and cause division.

  420. M hm.

  421. This is why we must value the Word of God

  422. like air. We breathe, lungs, that work, heart that beats.

  423. Because the Bible is the mind of God. It is

  424. the word strictly giving us to us from God. Amen.

  425. God has given us what we need and luck ain't

  426. gonna do it. We're blessed. Yeah, up to us to

  427. get it. Thank you, brother, thank you, thank you, thank you.

  428. Sounded like something like that. We understand that the Word

  429. of God is infallible. It's infallible and it's authority. Let

  430. me say that again. It is infallible in its authority.

  431. It is also universal in interest because people are interested

  432. in the Bible all over the world. All over the world.

  433. The most sold and the most famous book of all

  434. times is the Bible.

  435. All these preachers and wrote books, and actors and all

  436. these people in wrote books, but this book is the

  437. most sold book in the world. Believe it or not,

  438. it's the most famous book in all the world. So

  439. it is universal in interest. And you got to understand

  440. it's personal in application. It's personal, and it is inspiring

  441. in its totality because it inspires me a man. So

  442. we should read it. We should read it through. We

  443. let me say it again. We should read it through.

  444. We should write it down. We should do the most

  445. important thing is pray it in. And what's most important too,

  446. we should work it out. And then somebody saying, then

  447. pass it on pass it on. See Paul's minister the

  448. Church of got Latent. These churches, I said, these churches

  449. had received the word of God and had started to

  450. walk in the way of the Lord and the gospel

  451. of Jesus Christ. They had allowed the old tactics of

  452. divide and conquer to creep into and cause a division

  453. about lod law caused circumcision. Look that cause of division,

  454. the cause of prophet. You gotta understand, Paul, came about

  455. after the death of Jesus Christ. What does it say

  456. to you? It says what I was saying to you

  457. in no scriptures that God said the law is abolished,

  458. not dead. But the law is dead in us. Why

  459. because Jesus Christ perfected it right right? Thank you? What

  460. am I saying? Paul's ministry came after Jesus already died,

  461. So that means the law was already perfected. So that's

  462. why they had division. They still trying to keep the law.

  463. Circumcision was abolished. It was the circumcision and not of

  464. the false skin of your firstborn son or your sons.

  465. But now when Jesus Christ died and on the cross

  466. in the veil was writ and the law was perfected

  467. in his walk in this earth. The man didn't have

  468. to be circumcision of the of the of the flesh

  469. of the male wasn't. So it's the circumcision of everybody's heart. Now,

  470. you're right. And they were fighting over circumcisions, over the law.

  471. You gotta understand something. Circumcision of the false skin of

  472. the male was the law. It was a physical thing.

  473. But the circumcision after Jesus Christ came died resurrection, that

  474. were born, and we were born again with spiritual We

  475. ain't under the law. We ain't under the law. The

  476. Bible says no type of the law. Uh. For those

  477. of y'allity still see a little guilty by paying ties.

  478. That was part of the law too. That's part of

  479. the law. That's part of the law. That's part of

  480. the law that was before Jesus was manifested. It is

  481. in Malachi that was before the law. All the law

  482. was a polished Paul writes in this New Testament, prepared

  483. offering for the House of God. I'm coming. I'll take

  484. it to the city, the Holy City. And if by

  485. chance he don't make it, he told us to do

  486. something else. I can't remember what he said, But he said,

  487. hold on to it. See you're supposed to prepare your

  488. offering before you ever get here, not try to figure

  489. it out once you get here. I don't know what

  490. everybody else do. I don't I know what I do,

  491. and I know what he do because he told me so.

  492. He already got his offering prepared before he ever get here.

  493. My friend's already prepared before I get here. And the

  494. Bible says to give according to your heart. Ten people

  495. out there that are gonna give a hundred dollars, hown, y'all,

  496. don't give a hundred dollars. That ain't your heart, that's

  497. his heart. And that's ten more people that're gonna give

  498. fifty fifty. A lady walked up, and I don't know

  499. why lightning didn't come from heaven. I do know why,

  500. because God has grace and mercy. But the lady walked

  501. up here. They got all these gimmicks and games for

  502. you in these different churches. She was taking up the offer.

  503. She called the people with one hundred dollars, whoever had

  504. a hundred, they always coming up and throwing it. She

  505. came up with twenty threw it and she said, hey, baby,

  506. come back here. We ain't got to the twenties yet.

  507. Y'all didn't get that dish. You ain't get that. If

  508. I was that woman that dropped that twenty, what what

  509. I did, what I had done? I picked it up.

  510. I would have picked it up.

  511. Because she gave according to her heart.

  512. If she walked up to the hundred dollar line, she

  513. ain't have a hundred she had to give according to

  514. her heart. I'm not sure, but I would like to

  515. believe that, and she would collect the money according to heart.

  516. Greedy heart. So they were conversing over the circumcision between

  517. the Jews and the Gentiles. So they removed from the

  518. call into the Grace of Christ into another gospel. They

  519. moved the vision set in because of the Law to

  520. another gospel. Another gospel ain't Jesus. So what Paul did

  521. was he came and he was using his you know,

  522. he was using his personal life, his personal life is

  523. personal experience to show them the principles he used to

  524. govern his life as a Christian. That's why he said

  525. follow me as I follow him, him being Jesus Christ. Yeah,

  526. so he was showing them his personal life that he

  527. governed his life as a Christian. Now this is very

  528. important to all of us, Amen, because as you may know,

  529. that before Paul met Jesus on his way to arrest

  530. and persecute, he was on his way to arrest and

  531. persecute Christians, on his way to persecute anyone who he

  532. found in the way. Anybody he found in the way,

  533. in other words, anybody he found living the life is

  534. a Christian, he came to persecute him, Amen, anybody. And

  535. from that experience, Paul said he had a change in

  536. his life. Paul recognized that there were he recognized they

  537. were causing division by not accepting the Gentiles because of

  538. being uncircumcised. Wait a minute, the foolishness and that is this,

  539. the law was given to the Jews, but you're not

  540. accepting the Gentiles because they ain't dealing with the uncircumsan

  541. because of the uncircumcisions of them. But the law was

  542. given to the Jews. So Paul began to explain to

  543. them that after his conversion his life changed, and he

  544. speaks of it in verse twenty. Now, after his conversion,

  545. his life changed. Remember, Paul was not walking with Jesus

  546. physically like the other disciples he came after Jesus died.

  547. So Jesus had already died, was buried and resurrected. So

  548. the law was not alive like that in them anymore.

  549. Because Jesus had done away with the sin. He came

  550. and redeemed us from sin. He came and gave us

  551. a new nature. So Paul said in verse twenty, I

  552. am crucifible Christ. He said, I am crucis fable Christ.

  553. That's his foundation all the victory that Paul here takes

  554. us back to. And when I read in Roma sixty

  555. three and five, he said, I was crucifibil Christ. That's

  556. my victory. I'm good, I'm good now, I'm holy. I'm

  557. holy said the life which I now live in the flesh,

  558. I live by the faith of the Son of God,

  559. who loved me and gave me for himself, and gave

  560. himself for me. See, their problem was trying to understand justification.

  561. Paul found out in verse sixteen man is not justified

  562. by the works of the law. Sixteen says, knowing that

  563. a man is not justified by the works of the law,

  564. that's what he said. It's impossible to be justified by

  565. the works of the law, because if you could be

  566. justified by working the law keeping the law, the law

  567. never came to save. It came to make you recognize

  568. and realize. That's what it came. Came to let you

  569. recognize your wrong and rights. Ay Man, he said, knowing

  570. that a man is not justified by the works of

  571. the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ. Faith

  572. is the faith is what Jesus did at the cross,

  573. even we have believed in Jesus Christ. In other words,

  574. our objective of faith must always be the Cross, that

  575. we might be justified, because if we believe in that,

  576. that we might be justified by the faith of Christ

  577. and not by the works of the law. For the

  578. works of the law shall no flesh justified. But look

  579. at this, where's this thing that nineteen? For I, through

  580. the law Christ has perfectly kept the law and suffered

  581. it's just penalty. Christ did that, and all of it

  582. was done on our behalf for our health. For I

  583. through the law am dead to the law. For I

  584. through the law, I you me dead to the law.

  585. The law is not dead, amen, But I am dead

  586. to the law by virtue of having died with Jesus Christ. Heymen,

  587. man is not justified by the works of the law,

  588. but by the faith of Jesus Christ. And if we

  589. cannot understand it that way, then simply it says, for

  590. by the works of the law shall no what thing,

  591. no wisdom, no man, no I mean, no man, no

  592. flesh be justified, no flesh, no man can be justified

  593. by the law. And then he shares with us verse nineteen,

  594. that I just read, for I, through the law am

  595. dead to the law that I might live. You dead

  596. to You gotta be dead to the law, because he says,

  597. for I may if I gotta be dead to the law,

  598. for me to live by the Lord is Christ, that

  599. I may live unto God. So you got to be

  600. dead unto the law, that you may live unto God.

  601. Our faith is in the cross of Jesus Christ, not

  602. the law. For the law came to show us, didn't

  603. come to save. He said, through the law, I am

  604. dead to the law that I might live with the God.

  605. All right, all right, Paul, that should shift us, hey man,

  606. shift us to a higher revelation. We are to be

  607. shifted to a higher revelation in this teaching of Jesus Christ.

  608. In living this Christian life. For these scriptures teach us

  609. that was Christ who was crucified, and he died, like

  610. Paul says in verse twenty, by the unction in the

  611. spirit of God. He was crucified with Christ. And as

  612. believer us and blood bought saints of God, we were

  613. crucified with Christ also, And the Bible says that Christ

  614. rose up with all power in his hand. I'm confused

  615. sometimes because Jesus Christ, he died, was buried, resurrected, but

  616. he ain't just resurrect. He didn't just resurrect. He ain't

  617. just come back. He came back with all power. And

  618. if he live in us, we don't have limited power.

  619. He said, all powers. You know what I'm saying. De

  620. He said, he was raised up with all power. And

  621. if he live in us, because we have died and

  622. now he lives. And where Paul said, I don't live

  623. his life no more, he live in me. And if

  624. he lived in us, where's all the power? All power?

  625. He lived in us? Is No, we didn't live anymore.

  626. But he didn't live in us, where's all the power?

  627. Paul saysn't because he lives. Nevertheless, I live yet not

  628. I but Christ liveth in me. So I have to

  629. ask you, we need to embrace this. We need to

  630. hold onto this like it's breathing our lungs, heart that

  631. beats in our chest, blood that flows through our veins.

  632. We need to hold on. We need to embrace this.

  633. In living the Christian life, you must embrace it because

  634. it means victory. I don't care what comes in your life.

  635. You got victory. That's what the Bible say. What do

  636. you have faith in and trust in? Because Christ lives

  637. in us and we must surrender to Him that we

  638. might live in him. Let me close with this. I

  639. want to submit to each and every I want you to.

  640. You might want to write these down because I'm gonna

  641. go through them and look fast you might be to

  642. catch up with me. I want to submit this to you.

  643. Live that life, live that life of Christ, and this

  644. is how you do it. See God don't never tell

  645. us to do something without telling us how to do it.

  646. He tell us how to do it. He don't just

  647. tell to live the life. He tell us how to

  648. live the life. Hey man, so how much we live

  649. this life? Well? He tells us. In the Book of Titus,

  650. Titus Chapter three and verse eight. And what he tells

  651. us and Titus is live it constantly. That's how we're

  652. supposed to live it. Live it constantly. Titus three and

  653. eight tells us this is a faithful singing, and these

  654. things I will that you affirm constantly constantly? What's that

  655. proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, that they which have

  656. believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.

  657. The greatest work that you can do is to spread

  658. the gospel to all people. These things are good and

  659. profitable unto men. That's how you live it. That ain't

  660. all Psalms eighty four. Oh God got some instruction for us,

  661. and they basically really come in conjunction with one another.

  662. So in Psalms eighty four and verse eleven, for the

  663. Lord God is a son and shield, the Lord will

  664. give us grace and glory. No good thing will be

  665. with hell from them who walk upright. So that's the thing.

  666. Live it uprightly, live it uprightly, live it violently, which

  667. is in First Chronicles nineteen and thirteen. He talks about

  668. that First Chronicles. I don't know if y'all can find that.

  669. You probably never turn to that book. First Chronicles, chapter

  670. nineteen and verse thirteen. Wait a minute, First Chronicles, Chapter

  671. nineteen and verse thirteen. Wait a minute, Now, I must

  672. be looking at the wrong thing. Oh I am looking

  673. at the wrong thing. I'm a Second Chronicles. No, I won't,

  674. I won't, I won't First Chronicles nineteen and thirteen. I

  675. was looking at First Chronicles. I was looking at Second Chronicles.

  676. But I want you in First Chronicles. In verse nineteen

  677. and when the service of I'm reading the wrong thing,

  678. he said, be of good, be of a good curve.

  679. Because what he's saying here is lived violently. He says,

  680. be of good courage. And let us behave ourselves violently

  681. for our people and for the cities of our God.

  682. And let the Lord do that which is good in

  683. his sight. Amen. Amen, now that I got back on

  684. the right track, Amen, live your life patiently as well, Hebrews,

  685. and make sure I get this right. Chapter six and

  686. verse fifteen. Live your life patiently, so you want to

  687. know live that life. This is how you live that life.

  688. Chapter six and verse fifteen. And so after he had

  689. patiently endured. See, there's always a distance, everybody. I told

  690. you before. There's always a distance between the promise and

  691. the possession. The promise, all this in the middle, the possession.

  692. But there's always something in the middle. But you gotta

  693. have patience in the middle to get to the possession.

  694. So we got to live our life patience, so it said.

  695. And so after he had patiently endured, he waited, he waited.

  696. There's a distance between that patience and and the and

  697. the possession of it and that and that possessed and that. Yeah,

  698. and the distance is never uneventful. He obtained the promise,

  699. why because he endured patiently, That's why. And then live

  700. it prudently, Live it prudently Isaiah fifty two. In thirteen

  701. Isaiah fifty two and verse thirteen, live it prudently. Thirteen says, behold,

  702. my servant shall deal prudently. He shall be exalted and trilled,

  703. and be very high. My servant, Jesus Christ, will be

  704. lifted up high. Jesus Christ. The servant is the Lord

  705. Jesus Christ. He's gonna live it be prudently. He shall

  706. be exalted and axtralled a troll. He's going to be

  707. lifted up, he's gonna be honored, he's gonna be set

  708. on high. And if he is, we are, We're gonna

  709. have to live it fervently. Colossians four. Y'all right down

  710. if you can't keep up. Colossians Chapter four and verse twelve. Amen, Eparess,

  711. who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes

  712. you always up boarding fervently for you in prayer. So

  713. he was always in intercessory prayer, strong, inncessory prayer, fervently

  714. in incestry prayer, that ye may stand perfect and complete

  715. in all that will of God, in all your spiritual maturity.

  716. Pay that in all your spiritual maturity, livid, patiently, livid, prudently,

  717. lived fervently. Amen. And in one Peter Chapter one, I

  718. don't want to go there yet. I wanna yeah, I

  719. just got yeah, lived uh. Titus go back to Titus two.

  720. Titus chapter two. Tays Uh chases Chapter two in verse thirteen,

  721. looking and what he's talking about here, And Titus is livid,

  722. unexpectedly looking for the blessed hope, looking for the blessed

  723. hope and the glorious appearance of the Great God in

  724. our savior Jesus Christ. That's living it unexpectedly a man,

  725. but he wants to live it fervently, he wants to

  726. live it unexpectedly. And as we look at the aspect

  727. of Jesus life, as we look at the aspects of

  728. Jesus life here, we should do everything we can to

  729. live the Christian life. Why because why? Somebody say, because

  730. there is a because why we should live the Christian life.

  731. When we look at Jesus Christ's life, we should look

  732. at the life that he lived, and we should want

  733. to We should, as we claim in Jesus Christ lived

  734. that Christian life the way he lived it. Why, somebody say,

  735. because because in living it he loved us. Dying he

  736. saved us, and burying he carried us. He carried our

  737. sins far far away. Rising up, he justified us, freed

  738. us forever. And one day somebody say, one day he's coming,

  739. and oh, what a glorious day that's going to be.

  740. I trust in pray. I trust in pray, I said,

  741. I trust in prayer that the power of the Holy Ghost,

  742. and by the grace of the amazing God, the amazing

  743. grace of God, we will continue to empower and be

  744. in power by Lord, and say to Jesus Christ, as

  745. we look forward to better things and all that God

  746. has and stored for us. Amen, that we walk the walk,

  747. talk the talk here the words of God. Amen, that

  748. we understand that it's crucial that our faith stays in

  749. the cross of Jesus Christ. And walked as he walked.

  750. He didn't walk that walk just to show that he

  751. could do it. He walked that walked the show that

  752. we could do it. He walked that walked the show

  753. that we could do it if we believe in him.

  754. I said that Jesus Christ came here to redeem us

  755. from our sin and redeemerus. He did do He was

  756. the ultimate lamb of God. He was the ultimate sacrifice,

  757. the ultimate redeemer. He wasn't a he wasn't a bar

  758. assmen on our taler k now. He was not some

  759. mental mechnesia. He was not a Tipperary fix. He was

  760. a total fix. You don't hear what I'm saying, hey man.

  761. He came to clear it all up. It ain't coming back.

  762. Came to clear it up for good. And if you

  763. just believe in it, and if you just walk with him,

  764. you will have it all cleared up. Because if you

  765. walk in him, if you walk in him, he'll walk

  766. in you. And when he walks in you. It's not

  767. your life you live anymore. Aymen, it's not your depression anymore.

  768. That depression don't belong to you no more. That hopelessness

  769. does not belong to you no more. That broken ness

  770. does not belong to you no more. It belongs to

  771. the one that wants you to believe you got it,

  772. the devil and the people that surround you. It's not mine. Oh,

  773. you need to get on the way from over here,

  774. because see peace over here. You ain't peace, You disruption.

  775. So you can't come over here and mess with this.

  776. When you clear your head and you can come back,

  777. because see that peace don't belong to you, belong to me. Amen. Amen,

  778. give God a handclapping praiser. Amen. Amen. If you don't

  779. believe Jesus can fix it, you better believe he already

  780. fixed it. If you don't believe he can fix it,

  781. don't believe he already fixed it. I said. If you

  782. don't believe he can fix it, believe he already fix it. See,

  783. I don't like to sing them songs. Brother, I know

  784. Jesus he'll fix it after a while. Now he already

  785. fixed it. He's an on time god. Now he ain't.

  786. He's already here. Y'all hear what I'm saying. What you

  787. believe in? I will singing the songs. When I sang them,
