God is Just Not Fair

Hello everyone and welcome once again to Wednesday Night Live. This is Ron Crawford. I'm coming to you from a very hot Dallas, Texas and particularly from the broadcast booth in the Father's Church in Dallas, which is even, without even saying it, very, very hot because it's in the upper level of our sanctuary building and it's right, the roof of the sanctuary is right above us. And so I guess that's a good way to make sure that these messages don't go on forever. You know?

It's just too hot to keep going. But it's great to welcome you. I thought about mobilizing our people to take authority over this heat wave, but I know that we're here in Texas and at some point here in August, things are gonna shift and start gonna get cooler in the morning. I'm even believing we're gonna get some rain miraculously in the next couple of days, so watch for it. But, hopefully by September, a month from now, when many of you will be convening for our fiftieth celebration of seminars here in Dallas, for our fall seminar, the Saints Network, it will be much more pleasant.

But be that as it may, we have a wonderful message to bring today and it's really on the topic of righteousness. The title of this message you have to really think about because I saw this in a in a book many, many years ago. And it says, God is just not fair. God is just not fair. And it's, in the vernacular of English, it sounds like God isn't fair.

But if you think about what that title is, God is just, comma, not fair. And that's really true, because God is righteous. And the concept of fairness is really subjective. We think of fair, whatever would be equitable in our nomenclature, and it's really based upon what we think things should be. Well, that's not fair.

It's just not fair that this happens. There's nothing about fairness in Christianity. There really isn't. God relegates vengeance to his purview, and what he does is always in righteousness. And righteousness operates on an eternal framework.

God always takes care of us. He always rewards us. He's always doing things for our good. Though it seems like things are intended for evil, God turns them to good. So fairness is not really even in the equation of Christianity.

Because really what is fair? There've been a lot of things in my life, especially since we became saints, that in human terminologies was absolutely, not only not fair, but just absolutely evil in the viewpoint of what happened. But God always turned it for the good. And so when I would say, well that's not fair that they did this to me. That's not fair that this happened.

It's not fair that this scenario came. On surface, in our understanding, fairness seems to have been abandoned. Sometimes Christians who are very subjective, if they're not rooted, will say, that's not right, God. How could you let this happen? I don't understand.

And you begin to bark at God. There's nothing in the Bible that says that God is fair. But he's just. And he turns everything for our good. When the enemy comes in one way and we think that's not fair, we have to be really careful as we're barking at God that we miss the sevenfold flea.

And so God is just not fair. The first reading of it would be what a lot of general churchy people would say, God, you're just not fair. But if we looked at it as a as a saint, God is just, not fair. It's really true. As I'm recording this little less than a week ago, many of us were convened for a celebration of life for our dear brother pastor Larry Sparrow or as I've become calling him Larry the sparrow.

And he would laugh at that. I'm sure God lets him know that that's what we're joking about. And I can hear him laughing right now. Don't accuse me of being a talking to the dead. You know, it was really an unusual thing.

I said that when we were standing there, when I was privileged to get up and share, I looked out over the assemblage and it was like an archaeological dig. Not and this wasn't, you know so if you were sitting in the back row, don't get offended. But there were a lot of people sitting in the back who were from ages ago in the sparrow's life, and there were some people back there that just sat there with no smile on their face no matter what was going on. And I was informed that these were people that Larry and Vicki had ministered to in their very beginnings of ministry in the Titusville area. And then there were a lot of people in the middle that were good, loving people, a lot of them family members.

God loves everybody. But they were still pretty much general church people and there's nothing wrong with that. I couldn't fit into that environment anymore, but I grew up in it, so I'm conversant in it. And then at the front, largely largely, there were the Saints. And you could see that it's kind of like an archaeological dig.

You dig deeper, you say, well, here are the Saints, and they used to be in the general church, and they used to be relegated to having to deal with people who didn't even believe in the Holy Spirit. And I know that because a little bird told me exactly what those people, many of them in the back, actually believed. And they thought probably that Larry and Vicki had gone off the deep end and were swimming in the bathos with the rest of us. Be that as it may, I felt that I was supposed to share from Paul's message when he wrote to Timothy in second Timothy chapter four. And I actually read this verse, but for the sake of time which seemed to have escaped us, I was only able to just touch on it and that was something that God has turned, I hope for our good today.

In second Timothy four verse six, Paul said, I am now ready to be offered. The time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight. And that is our commitment to do whatever is necessary to engage our life in spiritual warfare on behalf of what God is wanting to do on earth. And a lot of people don't wanna do this.

I mean, they they they weigh the cost and they say, no. That's not for me. And then usually, and I dealt with a lot of these types of people over the decades, they will then try to justify the fact that they don't wanna go deeper in the Lord. And they'll throw some some of God's odd friends who did ridiculous things as an example of idiocy that would be involved with fighting a good fight. Most churches only when they talk about fighting a good fight, that means that they have to deal with troubles in the home or a boss that is not really favorable and or they're fighting against some temptation in their life or some lustful thing that tries to get ahold of them.

And, basically, that's not spiritual warfare. That's just dealing with an undisciplined life and undisciplined people. We all have to deal with that, but that's not Aegon and that's not Agonasamai. That's that's not it at all, and we know this. So you have to commit yourself to say, yes, Lord, here am I.

I've finished my course. What has God asked me to be? What has he asked me to do? It's mine. And I touched on this and then I ended, that a lot of people, they do what is in front of them to do, but they're always looking to something that's beyond what God has really given them to do.

And this creates a lot of frustration and jealousies and fightings and bickerings among people because in my pastoring I've seen a lot of folks that say, I'm gonna do this, but I really have my eyes on this. You know, I'll serve here, but I would hope that you recognize the nobility of who I am and move me into this other thing that I see somebody else doing. That causes contention and that's not what Paul is saying here. You have to embrace what God, not what you hope you are, not what you think everybody's telling you you should be. Well, by this time you should have a corner office.

By this time you evangelists should be apostles. No, be what you're supposed to be. And where does promotion come? God gives you more authority and more capacity and more efficacy within the gift He's given you. Is there some time that you may have to pick up what somebody else should be doing?

Well, yeah, we see that in life. I see that in the spirit realm. You know, there've been a lot of people who have abandoned their posts, they've gone AWOL, and I know that I have to do double duty. It's like Elisha who had to because Elijah went up before his time, he had to do not only what his spirit was supposed to be doing, but a double portion of Elijah's spirit. And he should not have been having to deal with Elijah's mantle.

That was Elijah's. But that's a topic for another day. Paul finished his course and he let Apollos be what he was supposed to be. He let Peter be what he was supposed to be and so forth. Now did he get in Peter's face when he thought that Peter wasn't doing what he was supposed to do?

Well that wasn't criticism, that wasn't judgmentalism. That was Paul saying, hey Peter, you know, you're being a little hard on those Gentiles. What about Cornelius? What about what you testified to the elders in Jerusalem? He's like you're backing off of that.

You need to get back to what you're supposed to be. Holding somebody accountable is not judgmentalism. And that's Paul saying, I've not only finished my course teleo, I've become what God made me to be, to the best of my ability, and I've run the course. I've striven to do, to the utmost of my ability, what God has asked me to do. So finishing the course is not, well, I'm all tuppered out now.

I guess I just am burnt out here. That's not what he says. Teleo means you are adhering to what God has offered you. And if you just be what you're supposed to be, and I mean be that, you'll be a whole lot happier. James says, whence comes rumors and wars among you, you lust after something that's not yours.

And you know that passage. But then he says, I have kept the faith. In my terio, I have remained at the right hand of the father. I have remained an intercessor. And not only have I made a commitment to do the hard things, I have embraced what God created me to be, kept my eyes on the prize.

And I have remained a servant, a son at the right hand, which is what faith is. And I have done it in my terio. I have done it in my household. I have done it in my point of ministry. And those three things.

So you got a threefold description of what Paul did. So there's that, but there's also a fourfold depiction. And he includes then what, when he departs, he's going to encounter. And this brings us to the topic of the day. God is just, not fair.

Henceforth there is laid up for me, verse eight, a crown, a stefanos of righteousness, which the Lord, who is the righteous judge, will give me at that day, and not only me, unto all them that love his appearing. That agape his appearing. We're going to get back to this business of righteousness, and we're going to talk about some new things here in just a minute. But what does it mean to love his appearing? You're agape ing, you're agape His epipheneia.

Now, we all love the second coming. We love His appearing. Sorry, I got a little loud there. Well, does that mean the rapture? Now Paul and other writers do speak about that epiphany of the coming of the Lord.

But there was one instance, and you can look this up for yourself, where it really is referring to any time through Agape, you were welcoming the light of the Lord. And an epiphany where the light would come on and where you would gain an insight and a revelation. You know, if if the only time I'm looking for the appearing of the Lord is at the rapture, I may not be ready at the rapture. I'm just telling you. Let's not get into the one save holy state business.

If you really are functioning in agape, which is seeking after the eternal purpose of God, you're breathing hard after it, the greatest gift of all, you're hopefully welcoming and appearing of the Lord with his light on many occasions in your life. In fact, when epipheneia was used in the original language, it was always in Greek mythology and even when the Greeks would talk about having a supernatural experience, it was a visitation of some sort where suddenly a light turned on and you deemed that supernaturally you have been given creativity or some measure of truth. Even we use it in our vernacular. You say, well, I was really struggling and then I had an epiphany. Suddenly, oh, okay, I get it.

So if we agape his appearing, we're saying we were in a measure of a lack of clarity. We were in a measure where perhaps the god of this world had blinded the minds, lest they see the glorious gospel of our Lord, of Christ, the anointed son. And God opened our eyes, and as it were in the vernacular of the day, or if some of you want to hold on to vernacular, well vernacular, there's Larry again. You had a light come on and the Lord himself comes. Paul had that.

Was on the road to Damascus and suddenly there was a great light, brighter than the sun. And boom, the Lord's talking to him. I am Jesus whom you persecute. There were other bright lights that came. Moses, when he would meet with the Lord on the mountain, he'd come down, his face would shine.

And those back row people would say, oh, no, we don't we don't want to go up there, know, we don't want to look at you, put a veil over your face. Paul said that the religious people in his day still had that veil over their face. There are a lot of Christians who have that. Yeah, they want the Lord to appear, I'm not sure they'll recognize him when he comes. Hopefully they'll hear the trumpet and not as an echo.

But a lot of things God is doing, there are people You know, was reading today that apparently Prince Charles or King Charles in England and Prince William are debating about whether they need to remove the defender of the faith from their title because they want to be more inclusive of Eastern religions. So they're not really going to be the head of the Christian church. You watch for that. Maybe William will have some some complaints from Kate who I am hearing, I don't know, is more of a devout Christian. We'll see.

But we love the appearing of the Lord. We he's with us. We we want the epiphany of his life and his light. And we love that. Now, here is the kicker.

This is God being just, righteous, not fair, because Jesus is said to be the righteous judge. The righteous judge. And in the book of John, Jesus talks about righteousness, and he talks about it in conjunction with the prince of this world. And then Paul speaks about the god of this world, and how that that entity blinds the minds, lest they see the glorious light of the gospel and the and the message of Christ. This is interesting.

So before we go there, just hang on to your lug nuts. What is Paul saying? I'm ready. I know it's time. God's giving me a heads up.

I gotta get my house in order. But I committed myself to do to fight the good fight and to do whatever is necessary for the cause of my God. I have received his mission for me. I grew up being trained as a scholar of Hebraic thought and the Scriptures. But one day when I was persecuting Christ, a bright light came and I was changed.

I said yes to God and I accepted the mission to the Gentiles and someone who would reveal the light of the word to where the living word, grace and truth would come. That was my mission. And it still is. So I have finished what God gave me to do. And my finishing was not a conclusion, but an adherence to what my identity was from God.

And I did it with all of my might. I ran fast after it. And I stayed in adherence to the right hand of the Lord who is the righteous judge to fulfill the will of the father. The agape was beating deeply within me. And I want his light, the righteous judge I'm appearing before.

Now it's interesting to me, and we've talked about this in our pneumatica studies, haven't we? That you want to be able to grasp when the divine author directly quotes passages from the Old Testament into Hellenistic Greek. Because when Jesus, living word, the Holy Spirit who anoints that scripture chooses a direct quote, you can guarantee that there is an equation of terms. In other words, what word in the Old Testament, sedaca or sedach, righteousness, What word was used in the New Testament to describe that? And there were several passages that were directly quoted from the Old Testament into the New where righteousness unequivocally was determined by this word, dikeios or diokisune for righteousness, righteous or righteous.

Now what we as Christians don't really like to talk about is that the word that the spirit used to describe righteousness in the New Testament was a Greek word that described a demon. Just let that settle in here. Because in the Greek world, if you said dike, d I k e, in the transliteration in English, Doesn't do me any good to spell it in Greek because I don't understand that. That was this being that was typically known as a woman. It was a daughter of Zeus.

And we see this where a woman holding a scale, not standing on a scale, not a weight loss commercial, but with a scale on either side. This was die. And then when the Romans came in, they just plagiarized that just like Cambridge professors and Harvard presidents nowadays and called this being justicia. But it was the same. We get our word justice from justicia, but in the Greek, which is what the Latin plagiarized, it was dike.

And this is the word that is dikeia, dikeios, or diokisune. So you got all that? Why would God choose to describe righteous or justification or righteousness by using a name that in all the Greek world was a daughter of Zeus who was over justice. Now in some depictions, there's a cloth around this being's eyes that says justice is blind. You know, God does use some terms in the Old Testament.

I hated unjust measure, and that's true. But that doesn't really refer to this. So the righteous judge who brings epiphany is really coming against this whatever this being is in the spirit realm. Okay? So just get that there.

Let's and and, you know, the the church at Laodicea in the book of Revelation is literally where the people and Dike met, which is the justice of the people. And that Jesus spoke to them and he says, you need to have your eyes treated with sap, which they were famous for. He also has the lukewarm business. And that's interesting too because Laodicea had no real potable water source, so they brought their water in from a neighboring city, Hierapolis, which was hot springs. So when it came to them through some measure of a conduit or an aqueduct, by the time it got to the Laodiceans, it was really alkaline and it was lukewarm.

It really wasn't that good to drink, and so they had to kind of process it, but at least it was potable. And even today, if you did an archaeological dig where Hierapolis is, it's now become the city of clouds, the Turks call it, because it's just got a lot of white residue of this alkalinity. So when Jesus says you're lukewarm, he was really talking to them about you don't have a water source of your own, and it would be better for you to be up there where Hierapolis is, at least you'd get the benefit of crazy water and those springs that people could be in. And it would be better if you actually had a pure water, but this, just like you do, if you take a swig of that, you're gonna spew it out. Very interesting, but this was Laodicea, and it should be the city of righteousness, but it speaks about this demonic being.

Colosse was a sister city to Laodicea. And sometimes when Paul wrote to the Colossians, he says, make sure you read this to the church at Laodicea as well. And he even references, and whatever I write to the Laodiceans, you read it in Colosse too, we've lost that letter. So obviously the Holy Spirit, the divine author didn't see fit to keep that for the canon of scripture, be that as it may. Let's talk about what Jesus said about righteousness.

If he's the Lord of righteousness, let's see. Let's first of all, let's go backwards. Let's look at Luke 16. You think you can find that? Luke 16 or or John 16.

Don't go to Luke. John 16. This is a great thing that Jesus is saying to his disciples. Everything he said was great. Verse seven, I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away.

If I don't go away, the comforter, which is the spirit of truth, will not come to you. But if I depart, I will send him to you. And when he has come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness and of judgment. You wanna read some more? Of sin because they are not believing on me.

They are not functioning in faith. They don't have a relationship with me and subsequently they're missing the mark. They're missing the mark. They don't have a relationship with me. They're not at the right hand of the father.

They're not functioning in what faith really is. So they just miss the mark over and over again. So the spirit of truth, when I go to the father and you're at the right hand with me, hopefully you are seeing what mark you're supposed to be hitting, and you should not be missing the mark. Secondly, of righteousness because I go to my father and you will not be functioning with me in the way you've seen me on earth. Righteousness comes in there.

Well, what is righteousness? What did we learn about righteousness by the defining of scripture in the Old Testament? You should know this. The first time righteousness was used was when God brought Abram out from the camp and he said, look up at the stars. This is your inheritance.

Your children, those who walk in faith will be more numerous than that. And I know for eternity, it means something more than just the operative on earth, but that's for another day. And Abram believed God, I'm on. And what did God say? Come on.

You know it. Go ahead. This is righteousness. So righteousness by the defining of God is the inheritance of sons believing those things that be not as though they are because God in faith at the right hand says it, and that's what righteousness is. So if you're at the right hand and you're listening to God and you are functioning on behalf of what God says and you're not missing the mark, then in the Sila of this progression, God begins to share with you inheritance.

He begins to speak about what he wants to do that is you believing and walking it out in faith. Not just hearing it in faith, not just gaining, well, this is what I want to do, but you're walking it out and you're fulfilling righteousness, which means you're going to be developing sons and you're going to be functioning on behalf of what God really wants to do in your inheritance. Now we've talked about the inheritance. We've talked about the heathen being our inheritance. We've talked about all those things.

We don't have time to talk about this today, but I'm just reminding you that we actually did teach on this. And we're seeing this, aren't we? As we're making disciples. Ah, but it continues. Of judgment because the prince of this world is judged, the archon of this world, one of the fallen principalities, the god of this world.

Jesus called it what it was, the archai, the archon, one of the ones that Satan deceived. That being, that kind of we've seen, has long tentacles that controls things in a Beomorph like fashion around the world, in the demonic structure. It's not greater than God, but it's what we face. And this being blinds people, occludes them so they don't see what the light really is. They don't see what sons are really supposed to be doing as Christ like Christian.

If our gospel is hid, it is hid to those of whom the god of this world has blinded the mind, lest they see the glorious light of the gospel, Christ. Right? And the prince of this world will be judged. Now what did Paul say in the passage we just read? The righteous judge is our Lord.

We, when we're moving with the prince of peace, when we're moving with the breaker, our Lord, when we're going with him into the deeper things, he is the righteous judge. And verse 12. I have yet many things to say unto you, but you can't really understand them now. Howbeit when he the spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all these things that have been hidden, but now God is revealing. He will not speak of himself, but whatever he hears, that will he speak, and he will show you things that need to come, calling those things that aren't as though they are.

He will glorify me, he will receive of mine, and will shew it unto you. All things that the Father has are mine. Therefore said I that he will take of mine and show it unto you. What is Jesus saying? Well, you know, when I was a kid, I would hear people that meant well, but they were really nonsensical who said, the Holy Spirit is only gonna speak about Jesus.

And so you shouldn't say you love the Holy Spirit. You shouldn't count him as God. Oh yes, I heard that. But what is Jesus saying here? And we realize that the spirit of holiness is one of the seven spirits of God.

It is going after the things that God has intended in holiness that has then been twisted, made ugly or abandoned or not seen. And the angels cry holy. And God wants us as saints to partnership with the the angels to bring about what God originally intended. And that's really the operative function of agape. Put all these things together.

Scripture does not confuse itself. So what's Jesus saying here is I'm going to the father. I'm sending the spirit of truth. His objective as well as mine is to fulfill the will of the father, what God the father has intended. I'm going to be at the right hand of the father.

I am the righteous judge and the spirit of God is gonna be revealing things that have not been seen, that have not been understood, that have been hidden, that have been reserved. And he's not going to speak on his own. He's gonna reveal what the father wants, and I I am going to allow him to be the empowerment just as he was for me on earth. But sin, righteousness, and the judging of this demonic being, the god of this world, the archon of this world. That's really where spiritual warfare is.

Let's look at one other verse, then we'll digest this a little bit. When Jesus was baptized, John 12 says that there was a thunder, there was a voice that says, I have glorified and I will glorify it again. Well, actually, there was a voice at the baptism that says, this is my beloved son, in whom I'm well pleased. Hear him. There was a dove that came.

But here in John 12, the hour has come, the son of man should be glorified. Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone. But if it dies, it brings forth much fruit. He that loves his life will lose it he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto eternal life. If any man serve me, let him follow me.

And where I am, there shall also my servant be if any man serve me, him will my father honor. Now is my soul troubled. What shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I under this hour.

Father, glorify your name. Then came a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it and will glorify it again. The people therefore that stood by and heard it said that it thundered and others said, an angel spoke to him. But Jesus said, and as an answer to them, this voice came not because of me, but for your sake. Now is the judgment of this world.

Now shall the prince of this world be cast out, and if I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me. So John 12, from that moment, the prince of this world was going to be judged. We just read that in John 16, the prince of this world is gonna be judged. And then in our signature verse in second Timothy four, we have that Jesus, the Lord of righteousness, is going to judge how Paul functioned in regard to righteousness. So what does all this mean?

When we talked in our studies about the prince of this world, and we we talked about the god of this world, and there's a judgment in regard to this. Now in the demonic realm, they identified an operative of this as a woman. And what we've studied about is that in the spirit realm, you had masculine, feminine. God is the ultimate masculine force. From him the spermos comes.

From him the seed comes. From him we gain our function. And all the angels would receive of him, and they would then carry out the halal. They would bring about the fulfillment of what God wanted. Which is why we as the church are the bride of Christ because there's only one God, there's only one purpose, there's only one seed, and we receive from him.

But then when we receive that word, it is our responsibility to disseminate that word and that word alone. And anybody that receives it then becomes the recipient of that divine word. Now, when the enemy rebelled, he cut himself off from that divine seed. And all he had was what God gave. He doesn't have anything new.

So what then became was somewhat of a, forgive this term, but a homosexual type of a thing where you had beings that had no spermos on their own that were just reinventing things that they had received. And so you had exousia beings that in God's framework were typified as masculine representatives of God who then were communicating what God wanted. But in the demonic realm, these beings became feminized and it became a perversion of God's way. So like for instance, have this is a big issue now in the progressive church. You have a man running for Senate who's kind of tried to distance himself.

He was a religious scholar in the progressivism. And he used to say that God was binary, that God was a being that took all comers, that he was gender fluid. And Richard Rohr and some of the progressives will say those kinds of things. And then they'll take they'll cherry pick verses like when Moses when Moses said, do I have to be a nursing father to all these? See there?

Or they'll talk about Adonai, or Shaddai being breasted individuals. So that has to be a feminine thing, but that's really not what God's saying. God is everything. God is always the father. Jesus called him the father.

Abram called him father. David wrote to the father. There's that masculine frame. And listen to me, as a man, I'm a man. I have no problem recognizing God as my father and I have no problem recognizing this equation and saying, I am the bride of Christ.

I have no problem recognizing that everything I am comes from the father. I receive that, and I convey it. But what I convey is not some mixed up gender equity thing. I'm conveying what my father says. And that's why I have no problem with men and women being sons of the most high.

We are conveyors of our father. The enemy is not, which is why you have the stork women of Shinar from Zechariah, which is why you have really the demonic realm is a messed up, sexual confused identity because they have no masculinity. They're functioning on ages ago, gifts and callings that the father gave them. And now they set themselves up trying to destroy masculinity, trying to destroy the nuclear family, trying to destroy the the function that God gives. And you know, as a father of daughters, as a father of a grandfather of granddaughters, I'm I'm not a chauvinist.

I want my daughters and my granddaughters to be strong. But I want them to recognize that their identity will always be receiving from the father in heaven just as my identity is. So when you see the god of this world who is a fallen archon, That's what the scripture says it is. A fallen arch entity that Satan recruited. That being is in itself not receiving any more masculine directive from the father.

They have made Lucifer their god. And so any exousia beings under them are going to be depicted as feminine because essentially they've lost their main flow and they're just dealing with things that have been received and have been convoluted. So it it I would think that the god of this world, the prince of this world, is standing in this demonic structure which is trying to emulate god's structure. And any entity that is functioning throughout the world representing this prince of this world is gonna be depicted as feminine. They mock God.

They have no father. They have no masculine fresh release. And so I can see how the Greeks and then the Romans would depict this being as a feminine, and they're just weighing things. They have nothing fresh. Does that make sense?

Sometimes when you travel, you hear lots of people who don't understand this, Christian people, and they're finding principalities everywhere. Oh, there was a principality here. There's a principality there. Listen. There are only seven, or if you include the enemy, which is kind of a different being, there are seven of these fallen ones.

That's it. So they're not everywhere. They have connections, especially the god of this world who tries to function as a fallen one, as a beast, as one of the Behemoth entities. This being has touch points around the world. It functions very much in this flow of what these fallen principalities spoken of in the scripture do.

Which is why, like, when you see Baal, Beomah, when you see Baal, Beelzebub in all of these ites, they all have a feminine counterpart, like Baal and Ashtaroth. Ashtoreth was supposedly Beelzebub's wife. In that day, when Elijah faced off with them at the top of the mountain, there was Jezebel, the virgin who was devoted to Baal. That's what her name meant. She was controlling the kingdom instead of her husband, Ahab.

And there they had prophets of Baal and Ashtoreth. It really is a sexualized perverted thing. And it's no challenge to me that you have all this gender fluidity and binary and h, you know, LGBTQ plus and all these other things, trans issues, you know, the progressives, God is all these different genders, because it really is a mockery stemming out of the demonic system. It really is. So it doesn't surprise me that you have a being that is being judged by the the Lord of righteousness.

This being is judged on behalf of righteousness according to what Jesus said. And that righteousness was in our Bible describing this feminine demonic being, then makes sense to me. So like when you go to Brazil and you're dealing with the god of this world there, there, we don't know how many exousia beings there are, but they are battling against the light coming. Because once the light comes, then they lose their hold on the entire structure that to this point they're trying to hide and occlude. Holiness comes against this.

Jesus comes against this. He is the light of this world. This being tries to blind the minds of people so they can't see the light. We love agape, the epiphany of our Lord. He is the Lord of righteousness.

He judges. And the God of this world is guiding us so that we can reprove the world of sin. We can reprove the prince of this world who is keeping people from partnering in accordance with their heritage, righteousness, and the judge of the god of this world is going to be done. Is the church doing that? Well, know the church I grew up in.

Good people. They weren't doing it. We thought this waiting, loving his appearing meant sitting on the back row, paying your tithe, passing out a tract every now and then, praying over your meals and waiting for the trumpet to blow. We love his appearing. Well, what?

Christ is supposed to be in our midst. Christ is supposed to be with us in Arterio. Christ is supposed to be leading this army now. He is the Lord of righteousness. And what Paul said, you know, I have engaged to be a warrior in this fight.

I have embraced what God has wanted me to be. I have remained at the right hand of the Father and I am now ready to be offered and I'm going to the righteous judge, our Lord, he says, Not just me, everybody who loves agapes. His appearing is going to be right there too. I know my brother Larry the sparrow is there right now because he and his church committed themselves to this. My church here at the Father's Church has committed ourselves to this.

We're raising up disciples throughout the world to judge the prince of this world at the behest of our Lord who is the judge of righteousness. And when we deal with beings, oh yeah, they'll lie, they'll tell you all kinds of things. We've heard this. We hear this being taught in rogue religious leaders from Oxford, from Cambridge. We've heard it reiterated by demons that have appeared to people who are ministering as saints, identifying themselves as Yahweh, identifying themselves as gods.

But they're really this being, dike, justicia, and they're managing their holdings, hoping that the light of the spirit of truth will not be revealed and people enter into their heritage as sons of the most high God. Isn't that amazing? Now I know I've given you a bunch of stuff today, but this is prayer and bible study. You should be studying the word. This is what we're dealing with, and it's vindictive.

You know, even they had say this phrase, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. You know, you see you watch the WNBA. You watch what they well, I never watched that too. You watch the way those women get into cat fights. They're jealous of one another.

They smack upside the head, and they say, it's just hard basketball. Things that if you did it across the street, if if you were in a a normal state, you'd get thrown in the slammer. Things that the NBA says, you don't do that. Women have an ability to fight with with great passion. Men should have it too, but you know this is true.

The church should embrace, as the bride of Christ, this this vengeance on behalf of our God. He's the one who has vengeance. But when you deal with demonic beings, first of all, they function in hatred. They function in anger. They don't have agape.

They have bitterness. And they're fighting with great fury to hold on to what they have. We have the truth. We are operative as true righteousness partnering with our God at the right hand of the Father through Jesus Christ who is sitting at the right hand. He is the Lord of righteousness.

He is the righteous judge. And we're being guided by the spirit of truth to go into all the world and make disciples and to teach people the power of the cross. This is what we will be judged by if we believe the Scripture. Now think about it. I went to school too.

I wrote I grew up in church, and I would hear people say, well, you know, the same word for righteousness and justification the same word in the Bible. Do you know what justification is? It means just if I had never sinned. And we relegate it as wonderful as the salvation experience is, we relegate it to that and that alone. And then we become people who sing songs about the cross not really knowing what the cross really is for.

Yes. Through that sacrifice and only through that are we born again if we accept him. But then it seems that I read in more than one occasion that we're to take up our cross and go where the father sends us and to stick that down in Ontario and say Christ has paid the price. This stake of ownership for all the spiritual resources and we're going to now function on behalf of the right hand of the Father which is what faith is in the Old and New Testament. We even say Amen which is the right hand of the Father in belief.

And we're gonna do what God says to do from there. And the spirit of truth is gonna guide us. So justification at the heart of what the New Testament says. It'll be one thing if it was tzedakah or tzedakah. Neil tzedakah, tell me that you're leaving.

I can't believe it's true. Girl, isn't there snow living without you? Neil Sadaka, his name was Neil Righteousness. If it was just looking up at the stars and hearing from God and just dwelling in that, oh, that's great. What a great message that is.

That's righteousness. Father of all who walk in faith, calling those things that be not as though they are. But then what was the living word thinking? What was the divine offer thinking? Did he not realize that when he directly quoted from the Old Testament into the New Testament, when he used tzedak in the Old Testament, it was gonna be named in the New Testament right after the name of what those Greeks said was a demon that supervised justice and righteousness.

And then Jesus of all things would judge that. And he said, you know, I'm going away, but the spirit of truth is gonna come and he's gonna lead you into hitting the mark. He's gonna lead you into righteousness and he's gonna lead you into judging the prince of this world. Whoo. Somebody say amen.

And Paul says, when I've done all these things, I'm gonna appear before this Lord of righteousness because I have been welcoming the epiphany of his light through the agape on this earth, and I'm gonna appear before him. Are you ready for that? Oh, know God has a lot of odd friends. I know there are a lot of people in the family of God. I'm not judging them.

I'm not saying they're not going to heaven. But I wanna be those ones that stand before the Lord and said, I am ready to be offered. I have fought a good fight. I have finished the course you've given me. Oh, hallelujah.

And I have remained in my terio at the right hand of the throne of God in prayer as an intercessor, as a son. And now I am going to meet my Lord. How much time do we have? We don't know how much time any of us have in this earthly life. God does, but we don't.

It's appointed unto us. Once to die, and then the judgment. For Paul, that was appearing before the Lord of righteousness. Or am I misreading that? I don't think I am.

In fact, I know I'm not. We don't know how much longer it's gonna be before the things of the end are really they're already happening, aren't they? How much time do we have? We go to work for the night is coming, but our work is this work of righteousness. And where we go, we're leading those who are to be disciples.

This is what we're teaching. And the god of this world who has blinded the minds appearing as a woman who's lying all the time to those dummies that will follow them. Oh, it's vindictive. It's, you know, it's like it's like a ravenous wolf. It's perilous times, but God is greater.

God is just not fair. God is righteousness. He is the righteous God, and this is what we're dealing with. So, saints, I bless you. I don't understand why God does the things that he does.

It's not up to me to judge him. Things aren't fair. I could give you right now, just off the top of my head, 10 horrible things that came against me and my family over the years. I mean, horrible things. And in the natural, I'd say that's not fair.

Why did I could say, why did you do this, God? But every one of them, in retrospect, God turned it for the good. Every one of them. I've gotten into the habit of laying claim when some unreasonable thing appears to happen. I'm laying claim to the sevenfold blessing in my Lord, and I always see that those seven things are just a drop in the bucket to what God does.

God is just. God is righteous, and we are serving him. Do you love Jesus? Oh, I wanna hear a little more about Jesus, that denominational figure told me. Well, I don't think he really did wanna hear more about Jesus, honestly.

Because if he wanted to hear more about Jesus, he'd hear that Jesus is the Lord of righteousness. And he'd hear all these other things. I wanna know him. How about you? I bless you.

God is just, not fair, but God is good, and he loves you. And it's the height of blessing for us to be able to serve him in this way. Thanks, everybody. A lot of meat. You may wanna listen to this few more times, and I'm sorry if I didn't quote all the verses you're thinking about.

But how long did you want this broadcast to be? It's about a 110 degrees up here in this booth. I've already gone ten minutes late. You can look these things up for yourself. They're good things.

I bless you. Thanks for listening. Goodbye.
