00:00:00.839 --> 00:00:02.544
Well, well, praise God.

00:00:02.544 --> 00:00:03.545
Glory to God.

00:00:03.545 --> 00:00:04.948
Thank you, jesus.

00:00:04.948 --> 00:00:08.294
Praise the Lord, hallelujah.

00:00:08.294 --> 00:00:10.842
Glory be to God.

00:00:10.842 --> 00:00:11.986
Glory be to God.

00:00:11.986 --> 00:00:13.609
Well, praise the Lord.

00:00:13.609 --> 00:00:37.856
Praise the Lord In all of our long study concerning this epic battle between the Lord and the forces of darkness, or specifically between the Christ and the Antichrist, going all the way back to Cain and Abel, going forward all the way into this past century.

00:00:38.435 --> 00:00:44.801
We're now into this century and if you think that the battle is over, amen.

00:00:44.801 --> 00:00:47.966
The battle may be won, but it's not over.

00:00:47.966 --> 00:00:50.651
Amen, hallelujah.

00:00:50.651 --> 00:00:53.054
And we are in the midst of that battle.

00:00:53.054 --> 00:01:20.522
And that battle has changed into something else because of what God did in April of 1906 at a little stable in Azusa Street, los Angeles, california, when the Holy Ghost was poured out in a mighty way and it changed the fabric of the church.

00:01:20.522 --> 00:01:30.763
But not only that, but it announced to everyone that would pay attention that God was doing something different on the planet.

00:01:30.763 --> 00:01:34.109
Let me back up a few centuries.

00:01:34.109 --> 00:01:35.331
Amen.

00:01:36.412 --> 00:01:46.575
By about the third century, the enemy had essentially extinguished the primitive or the first century church.

00:01:46.575 --> 00:01:52.612
What came out of Pentecost had almost ceased to exist.

00:01:52.612 --> 00:02:20.401
It only took 300 years for the devil to snuff it out, but he had snuffed it out and replaced it with a hybrid of Jewish mysticism and Babylonian witchcraft, and that church then took over its position as the headship of the Christian church and we have not really had a real church since then.

00:02:20.401 --> 00:02:28.561
We have not, because a real church is the body of Christ and that body is full of the Holy Ghost.

00:02:28.561 --> 00:02:32.487
Amen, this is what came out of Pentecost.

00:02:32.487 --> 00:02:48.170
Amen, when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all in one accord and in one place and there came a sound from heaven like a rushing, mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were seated and there appeared over them cloven tongues as of fire.

00:02:48.170 --> 00:02:50.014
And they were all.

00:02:50.014 --> 00:02:50.914
Everybody say all.

00:02:50.914 --> 00:02:57.420
What does that mean in the Greek?

00:02:57.420 --> 00:02:58.763
It sure enough means every one of them, as we would say in Texas.

00:02:58.763 --> 00:03:04.734
Amen, they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and they began to speak with tongues as the spirit of God gave the utterance.

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:21.346
Not too long after that, peter stood up and said these men be not drunk, as you suppose, but this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel, that in the last day, saith God, I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh.

00:03:21.346 --> 00:03:37.436
Amen, and that's what God did and he formed a body, a body that is called the body of Christ or the body of his son, which is the dwelling place of the Spirit.

00:03:37.436 --> 00:03:38.639
Amen.

00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.969
Ever since Pentecost, jesus said he is with you, but he will be in you.

00:03:42.969 --> 00:03:44.313
Amen.

00:03:44.313 --> 00:03:54.211
And this body is characterized by the, the many membered body of believers who are filled with the Holy ghost.

00:03:54.211 --> 00:04:02.723
Amen, there is no, that you cannot be in the body if you're not filled with the Holy ghost, because the body is where the spirit dwells.

00:04:04.425 --> 00:04:06.849
Hello, it's as simple as that.

00:04:06.849 --> 00:04:07.872
You just got to you.

00:04:07.872 --> 00:04:18.379
Just you know, I'm going to say these things because you're getting ready to hear a whole bunch of things that you're not going to like because it touches people.

00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:18.940
That you know.

00:04:18.940 --> 00:04:29.122
But it doesn't change the reality of what the body is, nor does it change the reality of what God did at Azusa Street.

00:04:29.603 --> 00:04:49.004
What God did at Azusa Street was that he said I am bringing back what was real in the first century, and that is that there is nothing off the table if God is in this body, all things are possible.

00:04:49.004 --> 00:04:55.329
To him who believes, miracles are possible, healings are possible, amen.

00:04:55.329 --> 00:05:02.033
Mighty moves of God are possible, but they're only going to be possible as I move through my body.

00:05:02.033 --> 00:05:07.420
I am not doing things independently and just showing up from time to time.

00:05:07.420 --> 00:05:14.273
That is so Old Testament that it doesn't even belong in a New Testament church.

00:05:14.273 --> 00:05:20.069
You can't have God showing up from here every once in a while if he lives here.

00:05:20.069 --> 00:05:22.673
What sense does that make?

00:05:22.673 --> 00:05:23.723
It makes no sense.

00:05:23.723 --> 00:05:29.463
You know, if you, if you have, if you have, if somebody's a guest, they come every once in a while.

00:05:29.463 --> 00:05:38.807
If somebody is a permanent resident resident, they don't leave, even if you might want them to leave, they don't leave where they come.

00:05:38.807 --> 00:05:49.473
Hallelujah, praise the lord on the second outpouring of the Spirit that happened at the turn of the century in the 1900s.

00:05:50.461 --> 00:05:56.713
It was clear that God was going to operate through this Holy, ghost-filled body.

00:05:56.713 --> 00:06:01.771
It was clear to anybody who would pay attention, amen.

00:06:01.771 --> 00:06:05.927
It was clear to those that were filled, filled.

00:06:05.927 --> 00:06:08.550
It was clear to the enemy.

00:06:08.550 --> 00:06:11.783
The enemy knew that something had changed.

00:06:11.783 --> 00:06:17.903
And once the enemy knew that there was something that changed, the battlefield tactics changed.

00:06:18.483 --> 00:06:29.084
If you'll look at at at what happened in the up until that point of time, most of what was the conflict was measured between armies.

00:06:29.084 --> 00:06:35.762
One army, that Antichrist, was powerful over the other one that was God, that was powerful over.

00:06:35.762 --> 00:06:39.288
Take example Joshua against the Amorites.

00:06:39.288 --> 00:06:40.791
Amen.

00:06:40.791 --> 00:06:49.127
In one case, the Amorites were a bunch of demon, created giants, and the other case here's the people of God.

00:06:49.127 --> 00:06:49.829
What happens?

00:06:49.829 --> 00:06:54.033
God stops the sun, joshua destroys the Amorites.

00:06:54.033 --> 00:06:55.855
Battles over.

00:06:55.855 --> 00:07:02.601
Amen, we move on.

00:07:02.622 --> 00:07:11.809
Next battle is another chapter and verse, up until the point where Genghis Khan was barreling down on Eastern Europe with the intent of pushing Christianity into the ocean.

00:07:11.809 --> 00:07:15.346
Amen, are you following what I'm saying?

00:07:15.346 --> 00:07:18.369
That's not what we're seeing in these days.

00:07:18.369 --> 00:07:20.363
We're not seeing.

00:07:20.363 --> 00:07:30.547
Not since the end of World War II have we seen this kind of clash of armies and that sort of thing.

00:07:30.547 --> 00:07:31.048
Why?

00:07:31.048 --> 00:07:38.947
Because something happened as a result of Azusa Street and that was this great outpouring.

00:07:38.947 --> 00:07:40.730
That happened after World War II.

00:07:41.593 --> 00:07:43.927
Amen, miracles, healings.

00:07:43.927 --> 00:07:46.687
I mean, we're talking, you have no clue.

00:07:46.687 --> 00:07:50.524
Everybody say I have no clue, I have no clue.

00:07:50.524 --> 00:07:52.288
What happened after World War II?

00:07:52.288 --> 00:07:54.394
You weren't there, amen.

00:07:54.394 --> 00:08:19.192
You didn't see 10,000 people in a tent every night, every night, every night, every night, the lines going on, the man of God praying for the sick, for hours, one healing, one miracle, one after another, after another, and it wasn't just one man, although all of this was focused on one man, amen.

00:08:19.192 --> 00:08:23.110
But there were numerous people who were doing this kind of things.

00:08:23.110 --> 00:08:25.408
Tents were going up all over the country.

00:08:25.408 --> 00:08:30.851
People were not only being saved, but they were miraculously being healed.

00:08:30.851 --> 00:08:35.851
We've all seen the pictures of mountains of crutches, mountains of wheelchairs.

00:08:35.851 --> 00:08:58.727
Right here in Fort Worth they were taking people that were supposed to be ambulance drivers, that were supposed to be taking people to the hospital, took them to the church service, amen, at the risk of losing their jobs, and saw them to be healed, and nothing ever happened to them because they never showed up at the hospital.

00:08:59.791 --> 00:09:14.446
Now, in today's highly technological world, that would virtually be impossible, but in those days, when you're driving a panel truck and there's hardly anything like a radio on it, you know things like that and they did happen.

00:09:14.446 --> 00:09:21.847
I'm talking about a place where they would regularly call the fire department and say the roof of the church is on fire.

00:09:21.847 --> 00:09:29.692
Well, they showed up a few times and didn't see any fire that you could put out with a hose Amen.

00:09:29.692 --> 00:09:32.929
They quit answering the calls.

00:09:32.929 --> 00:09:36.427
I know these things because Pastor Shipp was there.

00:09:36.427 --> 00:09:45.086
He was there for the entire seven years of the revival that broke out, and I know what.

00:09:45.086 --> 00:09:47.086
And and he told me these stories.

00:09:47.086 --> 00:09:48.109
He used to sit.

00:09:48.109 --> 00:09:51.330
He used to sit and tell me these things by the hour.

00:09:51.330 --> 00:09:53.585
Glory to God.

00:09:53.585 --> 00:09:56.144
You know how real this is.

00:09:57.128 --> 00:09:59.427
One day God took me to a church.

00:09:59.427 --> 00:10:07.278
It's over on long Broadway which turns into long over on the North side of took me to that church.

00:10:07.278 --> 00:10:12.620
I could rattle off the names of the pastors that had been that pastor of that church and you know who I was talking about.

00:10:12.620 --> 00:10:13.624
Amen.

00:10:13.624 --> 00:10:16.770
He said I want you to stand right on the steps of that church.

00:10:16.770 --> 00:10:17.581
Remember that day.

00:10:17.581 --> 00:10:28.673
Step right on the steps of that church and I want you to declare that the revival that broke out on the north side of Fort Worth so many years ago is going to break out again.

00:10:28.673 --> 00:10:30.783
And I said I asked the Lord.

00:10:30.823 --> 00:10:32.808
Later I said why did you have me do that?

00:10:32.808 --> 00:10:35.761
I'm nobody, I'm just a.

00:10:35.761 --> 00:10:37.086
You know, I'm just.

00:10:37.086 --> 00:10:38.629
This guy came up from Panama.

00:10:38.629 --> 00:10:39.152
I'm nobody.

00:10:39.152 --> 00:10:40.846
He said you're the only one that knows.

00:10:40.846 --> 00:10:42.865
There's not anybody left.

00:10:42.865 --> 00:10:44.109
Think about it.

00:10:44.109 --> 00:10:48.004
And I don't know on a firsthand basis.

00:10:48.004 --> 00:10:49.267
He said but you're the only one that.

00:10:49.267 --> 00:10:51.172
You're the only one that's around that can pray.

00:10:51.172 --> 00:11:00.626
You live here, you live in this area and you've been deposited that truth by brother ship Said you're the one I can call on, you're the one that will do it.

00:11:00.626 --> 00:11:03.854
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:11:03.854 --> 00:11:05.063
I'm telling you what.

00:11:05.063 --> 00:11:14.582
If you get led by the Holy Ghost in this body, I said, in this body you will find yourself in the strangest place doing the strangest things.

00:11:14.582 --> 00:11:15.725
Amen.

00:11:16.488 --> 00:11:20.236
And when you ask the strange and stupid question why?

00:11:20.236 --> 00:11:26.052
You'll get this answer, like you're the only one, I'm standing on a parapet.

00:11:26.052 --> 00:11:27.264
You know what a parapet is?

00:11:27.264 --> 00:11:44.552
It's a high overlooking, like a balcony, a parapet of the former castle of the emperor of Mexico that was sent over by the Holy Roman Empire during the Civil War.

00:11:44.552 --> 00:11:46.184
His name was Maximilian.

00:11:46.184 --> 00:11:47.590
They built a castle.

00:11:47.590 --> 00:11:50.287
Hey, if you're the king, you need a castle.

00:11:50.287 --> 00:11:52.183
Nobody liked this guy.

00:11:52.183 --> 00:11:55.202
Amen, you're not hearing me.

00:11:55.202 --> 00:11:58.892
Praise God, hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:12:00.841 --> 00:12:07.913
During the Spanish-Mexican-American War in 1848, we went down there.

00:12:07.913 --> 00:12:10.047
We stormed that castle.

00:12:10.047 --> 00:12:21.942
There are a row of the statues of the Mexican military cadets that defended the castle At that time.

00:12:21.942 --> 00:12:28.573
It was a military training school and they defended that castle against the United States Marine Corps.

00:12:28.573 --> 00:12:32.402
It wasn't even a fair fight.

00:12:32.402 --> 00:12:35.746
You know, the names of those guys are all over Mexico City.

00:12:35.746 --> 00:12:38.669
It's what now, almost 200 years later?

00:12:38.669 --> 00:12:41.394
And their names are all over.

00:12:41.394 --> 00:12:42.514
Everybody knows their names.

00:12:42.514 --> 00:12:49.908
You need to know your history or you never will understand what is going on at the border right now.

00:12:49.908 --> 00:12:51.331
I'll leave it at that.

00:12:51.331 --> 00:12:52.634
Praise God.

00:12:53.962 --> 00:13:14.474
So I'm at this parapet and I'm just praying in the Holy Ghost and you know, and the Lord says I want you to pray for healing between these two nations and I want you to pray for forgiveness for both, for the violence that was done in this spot.

00:13:14.474 --> 00:13:16.058
I'm standing right on the spot.

00:13:16.058 --> 00:13:22.149
I'm standing right on the spot where the martyrs died and I'm standing right on the spot where our people attacked.

00:13:22.149 --> 00:13:23.745
I'm right there.

00:13:23.745 --> 00:13:26.226
I don't have to go anywhere.

00:13:26.226 --> 00:13:28.582
I'm there, I'm at ground zero.

00:13:28.582 --> 00:13:42.642
God says I want you to pray for repentance, I want you to pray for forgiveness, I want you to pray for healing, I want you to pray for peace and war had not yet broke out.

00:13:42.642 --> 00:13:45.230
You're not hearing me.

00:13:45.230 --> 00:13:51.506
This violence that we're seeing at the border right now was still 20 years in advance.

00:13:51.506 --> 00:13:53.410
And I said why Lord?

00:13:53.410 --> 00:13:54.172
Why me?

00:13:54.172 --> 00:14:04.230
He said because you're the only one here that can hear me direct you and your son is in the Marines right now.

00:14:04.230 --> 00:14:08.096
But you can reach through that and still pray.

00:14:08.096 --> 00:14:10.587
You don't have to take a side in this.

00:14:10.587 --> 00:14:12.154
You have to take my side in it.

00:14:12.154 --> 00:14:23.251
Oh, glory to God, I'm talking about a body that can do great things when called upon by the Lord who inhabits you.

00:14:23.251 --> 00:14:27.006
So you don't want to hear another one.

00:14:28.522 --> 00:14:36.687
I'm up in front of 2000 people and I'm just ministering along One of the biggest meetings I've ever been in.

00:14:36.687 --> 00:14:39.548
I've told you a dozen stories about that meeting.

00:14:39.548 --> 00:14:41.340
There's all kinds of stuff going on in that meeting.

00:14:41.340 --> 00:14:44.289
It was right after 9-11.

00:14:44.289 --> 00:15:01.043
And I went down there and God said I want you to call out two people to represent Mexico and Spain, and I'm going to heal 500 years of animosity.

00:15:01.043 --> 00:15:05.851
It was so strong I couldn't have not done it for anything.

00:15:05.851 --> 00:15:10.807
But it's one of those things, brother Mike, that I knew as soon as I uttered it.

00:15:10.807 --> 00:15:14.181
If nobody stood up, I was going to look like an idiot.

00:15:14.181 --> 00:15:18.826
And she says oh well, here we go.

00:15:18.826 --> 00:15:20.748
And I called it out.

00:15:20.748 --> 00:15:25.734
I said I don't know who it is, but there are two people here.

00:15:25.734 --> 00:15:39.655
One has a valid hereditary claim and can speak for Mexico, and one has a hereditary claim and can speak for Spain.

00:15:39.655 --> 00:15:44.467
And God is going to perform a healing right here, on this platform.

00:15:44.467 --> 00:15:59.936
Two hands shot up immediately A direct air of Montezuma over here, an Aztec prince who is an apostle of the church.

00:16:01.182 --> 00:16:02.445
I've ridden in cars with the guy.

00:16:02.445 --> 00:16:04.971
I know the guy, but I didn't know that about him.

00:16:04.971 --> 00:16:06.724
He never told me this.

00:16:06.724 --> 00:16:10.724
He stands up, tells who he is.

00:16:10.724 --> 00:16:11.908
This guy stands up.

00:16:11.908 --> 00:16:14.950
I'm staying at his house and I didn't know this.

00:16:14.950 --> 00:16:18.811
I am a direct descendant of Hernan Cortez.

00:16:19.419 --> 00:16:23.008
Glory to God, you can't make this stuff up.

00:16:23.008 --> 00:16:26.125
I said are you kidding me, lord?

00:16:26.125 --> 00:16:27.048
I said, oh God, you can't make this stuff up.

00:16:27.048 --> 00:16:27.950
I said are you kidding me, lord?

00:16:27.950 --> 00:16:29.413
I said, oh God, this is too much.

00:16:29.413 --> 00:16:30.562
I said, get up here.

00:16:30.562 --> 00:16:33.366
Oh, you should have seen what happened.

00:16:33.366 --> 00:16:37.942
Oh, they both knelt down, they both embraced each other.

00:16:37.942 --> 00:16:40.408
People were crying, people were weeping.

00:16:40.408 --> 00:16:42.092
They were gathered around the altar.

00:16:42.092 --> 00:16:47.582
Weeping, they were gathered around the altar.

00:16:47.582 --> 00:16:51.250
I mean, you have no idea how much Mexicans and Spanish people do not like each other, and for good cause, you know.

00:16:51.250 --> 00:16:54.802
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

00:16:54.802 --> 00:17:06.693
But God did something in the heavenlies because he had somebody in his body that he could speak to and do miracles.

00:17:06.693 --> 00:17:07.674
Amen.

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:09.446
Let me tell you something, folks.

00:17:09.446 --> 00:17:11.586
Can I tell you something real.

00:17:11.586 --> 00:17:21.527
None of the things that I just told you would have been possible before Azusa Street, because there would not have been anybody that could have heard that level of detail and that level of instruction.

00:17:21.527 --> 00:17:22.730
I'm not bragging on me, I'm bragging on the Holy Ghost.

00:17:22.730 --> 00:17:25.457
Nobody could have heard that level of detail and that level of instruction.

00:17:25.457 --> 00:17:27.806
I'm not bragging on me, I'm bragging on the Holy Ghost.

00:17:27.806 --> 00:17:34.050
Nobody could have heard that, because you've got to have the Holy Ghost in order to hear that clearly.

00:17:34.050 --> 00:17:37.568
That's why he's given Amen.

00:17:37.568 --> 00:17:39.386
Are you following this?

00:17:39.386 --> 00:17:42.875
This is the way God's going to do business now.

00:17:42.875 --> 00:17:43.819
Amen.

00:17:46.742 --> 00:17:51.969
Now the enemy knows that God is committed to working through his body.

00:17:51.969 --> 00:17:53.770
Now, amen.

00:17:53.770 --> 00:18:02.672
You remember in the day of Joshua that Joshua killed so many, but God killed more with hailstones.

00:18:02.672 --> 00:18:20.584
Remember that the only way God's going to kill more with hailstones now is if his body gets out there and starts throwing them, because he's going to work through his body, or else he's denying why Jesus was raised from the dead, and that's not going to happen, praise God.

00:18:21.329 --> 00:18:49.951
So I said all that to say this that one of the first things that the church is going to the apostate church, the church that is opposed to the Holy Spirit and opposed to the revelation of the Holy Ghost in the body, that church, amen, is guilty of many things, and we talked about those last week and we're going to keep on talking about them.

00:18:49.951 --> 00:19:03.740
But the one that we're looking at now is that there is a spirit of ungodliness in the church, in that which calls itself the church today, amen.

00:19:03.740 --> 00:19:14.702
Because they are not presenting God the way he presents himself, or they are presenting him in ways that he does not present himself.

00:19:14.702 --> 00:19:29.961
In other words, they are saying things about God that God does not say about himself, or they are saying things about God or attributing things to God that God says I don't do these things, amen.

00:19:29.961 --> 00:19:34.121
And it all depends on the revelation of God.

00:19:34.121 --> 00:19:42.575
It doesn't depend on doctrine, it doesn't depend on denominational opinions, it depends on what God says about himself.

00:19:42.575 --> 00:19:52.417
So you first of all have to study the word and then you have to have God reveal himself to you concerning what he just said, hallelujah.

00:19:53.199 --> 00:19:57.704
So we started back into 1 Timothy 3.16.

00:19:57.704 --> 00:19:58.365
Let's go there.

00:19:58.365 --> 00:20:17.789
We just got that scripture opened up last week 1 Timothy 3.16, very important piece of scripture because it says this without controversy great is the mystery of godliness.

00:20:17.789 --> 00:20:19.436
Now the King James Version, the mystery of godliness.

00:20:19.436 --> 00:20:27.266
Now the King James Version, translates that word godliness as piety, and so it sounds like this.

00:20:28.047 --> 00:20:35.844
Great is the mystery of man trying to be God, when in fact that is not what this section of Scripture is about.

00:20:35.844 --> 00:20:40.513
That is not what this section of scripture is about.

00:20:40.513 --> 00:20:47.849
This scripture is about that the mystery is great concerning God wanting to be man, because the next thing that is said is God was manifested in the flesh.

00:20:47.849 --> 00:21:14.785
That is the highest form of godliness, or the highest form of godness, form of God-ness that God created all of this so that one day he could come in the form of Jesus, the son of Mary, and become flesh, so that you who are flesh could become him.

00:21:14.785 --> 00:21:21.008
That was the only way he could elevate his creation into himself.

00:21:21.008 --> 00:21:34.253
He created man as the highest form of creation, amen and then came in that form.

00:21:34.253 --> 00:21:36.278
Bible says in Philippians, chapter two, that he took upon himself the form of a man.

00:21:36.278 --> 00:21:42.954
He came up into that form, in the form of Jesus, and what did he do?

00:21:42.954 --> 00:21:44.557
He put on flesh.

00:21:45.419 --> 00:21:51.874
Now, if you ask me why he did that, I could give you a couple of stabs in the dark, but it's a mystery.

00:21:51.874 --> 00:22:06.799
It is so great a mystery that the answer to that question may never be answered, because that is the essence of who God is, and I don't think you can understand that.

00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:20.465
I don't think, even if he takes you into himself, amen, there is a lot of transformation that must go on for you to ever be qualified to know that.

00:22:20.465 --> 00:22:23.195
See, most people, this is what this is.

00:22:23.195 --> 00:22:23.738
This is.

00:22:23.738 --> 00:22:24.881
I'm going to just blow your.

00:22:24.881 --> 00:22:26.432
You know some people.

00:22:26.432 --> 00:22:27.977
Some people step on toes.

00:22:27.977 --> 00:22:29.580
I take a shotgun and shoot them off.

00:22:29.580 --> 00:22:32.032
We'll be to God.

00:22:32.755 --> 00:22:35.342
Most people think that when you get to heaven you'll know everything.

00:22:35.342 --> 00:22:37.891
You will not know everything.

00:22:37.891 --> 00:22:42.875
If that were the case, god wouldn't need to be God and you wouldn't need to be part of his body.

00:22:42.875 --> 00:22:52.025
Fact is that that Godness is distributed not in parts, but in partial revelation.

00:22:52.025 --> 00:22:53.666
Paul said this way.

00:22:53.666 --> 00:23:05.057
He said now we see dimly, we see like we're looking through a dark glass, but then we shall see clearly.

00:23:05.057 --> 00:23:10.270
But it doesn't mean we're going to know everything, amen.

00:23:10.270 --> 00:23:16.218
We're going to know a lot more than we know now, but we're also going to learn how to know more.

00:23:16.218 --> 00:23:19.903
Amen, praise God.

00:23:19.903 --> 00:23:24.476
I may be wrong, we may know everything, but I don't think so.

00:23:24.476 --> 00:23:26.321
Because, why?

00:23:26.321 --> 00:23:33.436
Because God's always going to be about 50 zillion steps ahead of you Praise the Lord, hallelujah.

00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:38.586
This mystery of godliness only comes by revelation.

00:23:38.586 --> 00:23:40.589
It doesn't come just by reading.

00:23:40.589 --> 00:23:42.473
Listen to me very carefully.

00:23:42.473 --> 00:23:59.782
In the 10th chapter of the book of Romans it says this that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the spoken word of God that comes to your hearing.

00:23:59.782 --> 00:24:04.549
That's rhema, the rhema word of God, amen.

00:24:04.549 --> 00:24:06.294
Faith comes by hearing.

00:24:06.294 --> 00:24:09.118
Faith does not come by reading.

00:24:09.118 --> 00:24:12.612
Without faith, it is impossible to please God.

00:24:12.612 --> 00:24:16.059
So it's impossible to please God if you're not hearing him.

00:24:16.059 --> 00:24:17.624
Why is that?

00:24:17.624 --> 00:24:24.500
Because the faith to receive revelation only comes when you hear God speak.

00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:28.009
I'm not making this up, it's in your Bible.

00:24:28.009 --> 00:24:37.742
I can't help it that men substituted the logic of reading for the revelation of hearing, the logic of reading for the revelation of hearing.

00:24:38.503 --> 00:24:50.032
But Paul said it this way how is it, you foolish Galatians, that you started out in the spirit but now you've ended up in the flesh, amen.

00:24:50.032 --> 00:24:55.740
And how is it that you no longer seek after the hearing of faith?

00:24:55.740 --> 00:24:58.002
There's a hearing of faith.

00:24:58.002 --> 00:25:16.875
There's such a thing as the faith necessary to hear God speak, and when you hear him speak, it produces more faith to believe him, and then it produces more faith to acquire the grace that enables you to do what God just said Amen.

00:25:17.276 --> 00:25:18.578
All these things work together.

00:25:18.578 --> 00:25:21.773
They don't come by reading, they come by hearing.

00:25:21.773 --> 00:25:26.042
But you won't hear if you don't have the spirit.

00:25:26.042 --> 00:25:30.156
There's a hearing of faith that comes by the spirit.

00:25:30.156 --> 00:25:34.952
Read that in the book of Galatians Amen.

00:25:34.952 --> 00:25:36.155
Are we together on this?

00:25:36.155 --> 00:25:38.160
And why is this important?

00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:44.939
Because this godness has to be taught to you by the revelation of the Spirit.

00:25:44.939 --> 00:25:59.186
He has to be the one who is quickening you, inside of you, to know what this mystery is as it is unveiled and revealed to you Now.

00:25:59.186 --> 00:26:03.355
If you stick piety in there, then it's all about you, amen.

00:26:04.457 --> 00:26:05.961
But that's not what that word means.

00:26:05.961 --> 00:26:21.330
That word means godness or godliness or the things that makes God God Great is that mystery, and the first and foremost aspect of that mystery is that God was manifested in the flesh.

00:26:21.330 --> 00:26:24.336
So make this real simple.

00:26:24.336 --> 00:26:38.619
Jesus is the greatest mystery because there was absolutely no reason for him to come other than the fact that God wanted to be in you.

00:26:38.619 --> 00:26:42.884
Hallelujah, praise God, now there's.

00:26:42.884 --> 00:26:50.480
You know, the whole understanding of Jesus as Savior is.

00:26:51.821 --> 00:26:56.273
I'm not going to tell you that's not accurate, it is absolutely accurate.

00:26:56.273 --> 00:27:08.853
Adam's sin had to be dealt with, and Adam's sin as it's manifested in you, had to be dealt with, and Adam's sin, as it dwells in your blood, really had to be dealt with.

00:27:08.853 --> 00:27:11.797
Amen, no doubt about that.

00:27:11.797 --> 00:27:19.105
But that's about all that most denominations have to offer their people.

00:27:19.105 --> 00:27:20.686
Amen.

00:27:20.686 --> 00:27:32.884
And that's not all there is, because, if God came to inhabit us, first in Jesus and then in us, amen.

00:27:33.089 --> 00:27:34.717
Most people don't ever get that far.

00:27:34.717 --> 00:27:40.571
They get that God was manifested in Jesus and Jesus was sent to forgive our sins.

00:27:40.571 --> 00:27:43.499
And since our sins are forgiven, we're going to go to heaven.

00:27:43.499 --> 00:27:46.375
And that's about all the church is about anymore.

00:27:46.375 --> 00:28:00.865
But I'm here to tell you today there's a whole lot more, and the reason that it's not in the fabric of the church is because the church has been, has what's the phrase in the constitution?

00:28:00.865 --> 00:28:04.536
Has provided aid and comfort to the enemy.

00:28:04.536 --> 00:28:09.973
They are working in cahoots with them to keep it under the wraps.

00:28:10.074 --> 00:28:11.557
What God really wants to do?

00:28:11.557 --> 00:28:23.375
And what God really wants to do is not only save you, but he wants to live in you, and he just doesn't want to live in you because you're helpless and you need God.

00:28:23.375 --> 00:28:28.652
He wants to live in you because that is how he's going to win this next battle.

00:28:28.652 --> 00:28:43.132
He is going to win this next battle by inhabiting millions and millions and millions of Christians and forming a body of Christ on the planet that is irresistible.

00:28:43.132 --> 00:28:49.063
The devil cannot do anything about it because he has no antidote.

00:28:49.063 --> 00:28:57.361
If he can't, if he can't, rob you of the essence of Christ in you, the hope of glory, he has nothing.

00:28:57.361 --> 00:28:59.724
I'm telling you, he has nothing.

00:28:59.724 --> 00:29:04.224
If he can't get you to say well, I don't know if he's going to live in me or not.

00:29:04.224 --> 00:29:05.609
I'm so unworthy.

00:29:05.609 --> 00:29:07.153
I just am a worm.

00:29:07.153 --> 00:29:09.597
I just, oh, I just wish I could die.

00:29:09.597 --> 00:29:12.564
Oh God, take me to heaven now.

00:29:12.564 --> 00:29:17.157
Would you please, would you get a grip on who you really are?

00:29:17.157 --> 00:29:19.541
You are the temple of the living.

00:29:19.541 --> 00:29:19.982
God.

00:29:19.982 --> 00:29:27.463
Has not God said I will dwell in them, I will live in them, I will walk in them, I will talk in them.

00:29:27.463 --> 00:29:32.741
They will be my people, I will be their God, they will be my children, I will be their father.

00:29:32.741 --> 00:29:33.971
Say it, the Lord of hosts.

00:29:33.971 --> 00:29:35.797
Glory to God.

00:29:35.797 --> 00:29:38.442
What are you going to do about that?

00:29:38.442 --> 00:29:57.873
What are you going to do about this God that wants to walk in you, that wants to talk in you, that wants to raise the dead in you, that wants to heal the sick in you, that wants to cast out devils in you, that wants to stop the sea in you, that wants to stop tornadoes and storms and earthquakes.

00:29:57.873 --> 00:29:59.419
Go over to God.

00:29:59.419 --> 00:30:00.451
You remember that?

00:30:00.511 --> 00:30:09.038
What was that one that came a few months ago that was barreling down on Tampa and they had all of Tampa, the county.

00:30:09.038 --> 00:30:10.780
What's the county that's in Tampa?

00:30:10.780 --> 00:30:11.643
It starts with an H.

00:30:11.643 --> 00:30:15.959
Never mind that county, they were evacuating the whole county.

00:30:15.959 --> 00:30:18.973
The mayor was saying you know, if you don't leave, you're going to die.

00:30:18.973 --> 00:30:19.875
Amen.

00:30:20.296 --> 00:30:21.880
Did you see what that thing did?

00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:28.440
That thing got to about here and did a right turn and went right into an uninhabited area.

00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:30.750
I said somebody was praying.

00:30:30.750 --> 00:30:34.477
I said somebody stood out on that beach and said not here.

00:30:34.477 --> 00:30:38.903
I said not here, I could see him in his spirit.

00:30:38.903 --> 00:30:48.897
I could see him, and it wasn't a great horde of people, it was just somebody, like I just told you that God could get a hold of and say go, stand in that spot.

00:30:48.897 --> 00:30:59.483
I said that spot right there, that spot right there, with the water up to your knees, crashing down around you, and say not now, not ever and not here.

00:30:59.483 --> 00:31:05.117
See, god's going to move through people like that.

00:31:05.117 --> 00:31:06.582
What's the devil going to do with that?

00:31:07.369 --> 00:31:16.654
He had a cat five hurricane barreling down on the largest city on the Gulf Coast other than Houston Amen, are you hearing me?

00:31:16.654 --> 00:31:19.520
And the thing was right.

00:31:19.520 --> 00:31:21.830
I mean it was on a dead.

00:31:21.830 --> 00:31:23.454
They were steering the thing.

00:31:23.454 --> 00:31:24.617
You know what I'm talking about, david.

00:31:24.617 --> 00:31:30.059
They were steering the thing right to it and somebody said not here.

00:31:30.059 --> 00:31:34.230
And the energy from that veered it right off into nothing.

00:31:34.230 --> 00:31:36.857
Next thing, you know, that was a cat three.

00:31:36.857 --> 00:31:38.241
Next thing, you know it was a cat two.

00:31:38.241 --> 00:31:40.357
Next thing, you know it was just a bad rainstorm.

00:31:40.357 --> 00:31:46.596
Oh, it brought a lot of damage, but they were expecting mega death and they didn't get it.

00:31:47.069 --> 00:31:56.155
Glory to God, because somebody I said somebody, somebody, and we don't even care who they were.

00:31:56.155 --> 00:31:59.619
I don't need to know, nobody needs to know about me.

00:31:59.619 --> 00:32:07.021
All they need to know about is this God can still stop the storm, hallelujah.

00:32:07.021 --> 00:32:25.738
See, if you don't have this revelation that it's Christ in you, and this thing about that it's Christ in you is not just that you got filled with the Holy Ghost, but it's the same Christ that was in you and you were in him when Christ was in God and all of us were in this place called eternity.

00:32:25.738 --> 00:32:27.241
Before anything was.

00:32:27.241 --> 00:32:31.679
When Jesus said before Abraham was, I am.

00:32:31.679 --> 00:32:53.759
It freaks the Jews out, but it should make you shout, because before anything was I am and I am in him and he am in me, and that timelessness of Christ is now in you.

00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:56.401
Let me tell you something in you.

00:32:56.401 --> 00:32:59.723
Let me tell you something Timelessness is not in the enemy.

00:32:59.723 --> 00:33:03.047
They are bound into time.

00:33:03.047 --> 00:33:11.846
No-transcript, and God throws away the key.

00:33:11.846 --> 00:33:14.772
He is not throwing away the clocks.

00:33:14.772 --> 00:33:19.090
Time will just drag on for them.

00:33:19.090 --> 00:33:26.888
See, if it was eternity in hell, it would just seem like it was today and every day would be like today and it's just another day in hell.

00:33:26.888 --> 00:33:27.730
Glory to God.

00:33:27.730 --> 00:33:30.667
But that's not how it is.

00:33:30.667 --> 00:33:47.669
This is going to drag on into this everlasting pit of torment and every day is going to be a new level of torment, whereas for you, you will be in an eternity of always being in God.

00:33:47.669 --> 00:33:48.971
Think about it.

00:33:48.971 --> 00:33:52.215
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:33:53.021 --> 00:34:07.788
Now, when you have mysteries like this one, that we're talking about the mystery of God in the flesh, amen that are poorly taught and poorly received, it's because the mystery is without revelation.

00:34:07.788 --> 00:34:27.085
Mysteries without revelation are always going to be poorly taught and they're always going to be poorly taught and they're always going to be poorly received, because mysteries cannot be transmitted and unveiled and revealed amen without revelation or without God teaching you.

00:34:27.085 --> 00:34:33.282
And you can't be taught by God very well if you don't hear him, amen.

00:34:33.282 --> 00:34:34.646
And you don't have ears to hear very well if you don't hear him.

00:34:34.646 --> 00:34:39.523
And you don't have ears to hear very well if you don't have the Holy Ghost.

00:34:39.523 --> 00:34:51.528
See, we live in a world where over 80% of all people who name, who have a Christian sign on their door amen.

00:34:51.528 --> 00:34:55.916
We live in a world where most of them don't believe in revelation.

00:34:55.916 --> 00:35:04.114
That 80, some percent and a goodly number of the other 20% really don't believe in revelation.

00:35:04.114 --> 00:35:06.907
They don't believe in being taught by God.

00:35:06.907 --> 00:35:09.092
They believe in being taught by books.

00:35:09.092 --> 00:35:10.802
You don't believe me?

00:35:10.802 --> 00:35:13.228
Go to Mardell's.

00:35:13.228 --> 00:35:14.711
You don't believe me.

00:35:15.460 --> 00:35:20.369
Go to some big church and what's one of the first things you're going to see in the lobby?

00:35:20.369 --> 00:35:25.751
A, a, a, what, a.

00:35:25.751 --> 00:35:28.527
What A bookstore.

00:35:28.527 --> 00:35:33.228
You people have been hanging around with me too long.

00:35:33.228 --> 00:35:43.606
That was going to be my next line Praise God, a bookstore, and you go into that bookstore.

00:35:43.606 --> 00:35:44.945
Now, a lot of them you don't.

00:35:44.945 --> 00:35:54.813
They try to preserve the doctrinal purity of their position, basically by only selling their own books.

00:35:54.813 --> 00:35:55.474
I mean they don't want.

00:35:55.474 --> 00:36:00.172
They don't want to be selling somebody else's books when they can be selling their books Amen.

00:36:00.500 --> 00:36:09.425
But I've been in other places where you know, I went to the pastor in one church and I said, brother, have you looked at the books that's being sold in your bookstore?

00:36:09.425 --> 00:36:12.670
He said, nah, that's my wife's business, I'll deal with that.

00:36:12.670 --> 00:36:13.913
You know, I just let her.

00:36:13.913 --> 00:36:14.775
That's her hobby.

00:36:14.775 --> 00:36:20.262
I said you're going to have a confused bunch of people.

00:36:20.262 --> 00:36:27.570
I mean there was books in there by rabid be filled with the Holy Ghost people and there was rabid don't be filled with the Holy Ghost people.

00:36:27.570 --> 00:36:31.416
I mean there was just, I mean just craziness being sold.

00:36:31.416 --> 00:36:36.123
You need to pay attention.

00:36:36.123 --> 00:36:40.931
Okay, I said what I was supposed to say and I'm going to leave it alone.

00:36:40.931 --> 00:36:42.193
But praise God.

00:36:45.322 --> 00:37:03.181
Where you don't have, where you don't teach revelation, you don't encourage revelation, you don't encourage people to hear, you don't encourage people to be taught by God, then what is brought, what is a mystery, is not going to be very well taught and is certainly not going to be very well received.

00:37:03.181 --> 00:37:14.487
If, on the other hand, you teach people to be filled, to hear, to pay attention to be available.

00:37:14.487 --> 00:37:22.032
See, one of the things about revelation is you have to be available, because God doesn't always speak at your convenience.

00:37:22.032 --> 00:37:33.306
I mean, he may just be talking to you when you're going down the highway, he may be talking to you in the middle of the night, he may be talking to you in the middle of a sentence, or he may be talking to you in the middle of a message.

00:37:33.306 --> 00:37:50.213
You have to be ready to receive the revelation that's coming at that moment and then, if you're in this position, you have to be ready to give it, to give it verbalization and clarity by the spirit.

00:37:50.213 --> 00:37:55.387
And then you have to be, you have to learn to have confidence in that.

00:37:56.088 --> 00:38:08.989
So, when I was sitting in that platform or on that platform, and the Lord told me to do that thing with the Mexican and the Aztec representative, I heard his voice, I knew what was going to happen Amen.

00:38:08.989 --> 00:38:17.893
I had no clue it was going to happen the way it did happen, but I had no doubt that God was going to bring something out.

00:38:17.893 --> 00:38:24.092
What he brought out was amazing, way beyond my ability to think or imagine.

00:38:24.092 --> 00:38:26.945
Amen, but that's just how it is.

00:38:26.945 --> 00:38:30.829
If you're willing to live in that realm.

00:38:30.829 --> 00:38:35.409
Well see, that's how God's going to do business.

00:38:35.628 --> 00:38:52.047
That was one of the mysteries that got restored to the body at Azusa was the fact that God now was going to operate through his body, not through earthly armies, not through earthly kingdoms.

00:38:52.047 --> 00:38:54.510
Oh hallelujah, you're not hearing what I'm saying.

00:38:54.510 --> 00:39:08.730
And when Genghis Khan and his hordes swept in to attack the Holy Roman Empire, it was army against army, it was kingdom against kingdom, it was continent against continent.

00:39:08.730 --> 00:39:13.164
Actually, amen, that's not what we're doing now.

00:39:13.164 --> 00:39:19.023
We have been doing that up until the end of World War II, but we're not doing that anymore.

00:39:19.023 --> 00:39:27.847
If you'll notice, we're not doing continental warfare anymore, we're doing these little pockets of things.

00:39:27.847 --> 00:39:33.427
So all we're doing really is just showing off our ideology and our latest weapons.

00:39:33.427 --> 00:39:36.253
You know God's not doing that.

00:39:37.061 --> 00:39:54.730
What God is doing is he's preparing his body for a whole other level of Ephesians 6 type of war, where we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities and spiritual darkness and all that sort of thing.

00:39:54.730 --> 00:40:01.282
That's the kind of battle where the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but they are mighty through God for the pulling down.

00:40:01.282 --> 00:40:13.188
That's the kind of battle that we're getting into and not the kind of spiritual warfare that we were taught back in the eighties, where it was just all about our ability to identify devils and call them out and impress everybody.

00:40:13.188 --> 00:40:21.588
I'm talking about the kind of warfare, amen, that can change nations and continents.

00:40:22.411 --> 00:40:29.833
Glory to God Can marshal and harness and direct intercession.

00:40:29.833 --> 00:40:33.288
Glory, praise God.

00:40:33.288 --> 00:40:41.228
Now here let me give you an example of how this poorly taught, poorly received Amen.

00:40:41.228 --> 00:40:52.764
If you don't have a good, if you don't really understand what it means to have Christ in you, the hope or the earnest expectation, see, we're not hoping for glory when we get to heaven.

00:40:52.764 --> 00:40:55.032
It's not what that scripture means.

00:40:55.739 --> 00:41:12.003
That scripture means that Christ is in us and because of that we have an earnest expectation of a continually accelerating and growing revelation and manifestation of glory, christ in us.

00:41:12.003 --> 00:41:14.731
It's not your glory.

00:41:14.731 --> 00:41:18.503
It's not that you're going to shine like a light bulb, you know.

00:41:18.503 --> 00:41:25.217
It's not that you're going to run around and look like a little star in the sky and everybody's going to go whoo, whoo, whoo.

00:41:25.217 --> 00:41:29.005
You know you see all these little people in the background going whoo whoo.

00:41:29.005 --> 00:41:32.322
You know it's not happening, it's not about you.

00:41:32.322 --> 00:41:38.802
Everybody look at their neighbor and say it is never about you, never.

00:41:38.802 --> 00:41:41.548
It's always about Jesus.

00:41:41.548 --> 00:41:46.485
It is always If you are filled with the Holy Ghost.

00:41:46.485 --> 00:41:47.934
What did Jesus say about the Holy Ghost?

00:41:47.934 --> 00:41:51.228
He will never speak of himself.

00:41:51.228 --> 00:41:57.548
He's always going to speak about, he's always going to bring glory and honor to Jesus, amen.

00:41:57.548 --> 00:41:59.313
It's never about you, it's about Jesus.

00:41:59.313 --> 00:42:12.931
If Jesus, jesus is the earnest expectation of the manifestation of his glory, so if he's in you, amen, he is going to manifest his glory in you.

00:42:12.931 --> 00:42:15.568
That's what that's all about.

00:42:16.373 --> 00:42:22.016
But when you don't understand that, you're going to get what we have in this country and all over the planet.

00:42:22.016 --> 00:42:30.971
You're going to have churches that, basically, are all about teaching Adam to be a good little boy.

00:42:30.971 --> 00:42:35.255
You go hey, they just built one right over here.

00:42:35.255 --> 00:42:45.190
I don't know how much it takes, I don't know how much money it takes to buy a movie house these days, but I imagine it's several million dollars, you know.

00:42:45.190 --> 00:42:49.871
And they just built one, remodeled it, and here we go.

00:42:49.871 --> 00:42:53.188
You go read what they're all about.

00:42:53.188 --> 00:43:04.210
It's all about making Adam a better boy, a better girl, a better mom, a better dad, a better person, a better responsible person.

00:43:04.291 --> 00:43:10.836
And I just asked I was talking to God about this I said, lord, what do they think when they do that?

00:43:10.836 --> 00:43:13.686
Because who were the first people that got saved?

00:43:13.686 --> 00:43:17.523
They were Jews in Jerusalem.

00:43:17.523 --> 00:43:18.806
What do you think?

00:43:18.806 --> 00:43:25.742
All those people were reprobates and drunks and whores and gamblers, and you know.

00:43:25.742 --> 00:43:27.686
I mean, is that what they were?

00:43:27.686 --> 00:43:31.434
No, you don't get to live like that and be a Jew.

00:43:31.434 --> 00:43:34.005
You're a good family person.

00:43:34.005 --> 00:43:35.829
You've got a good household.

00:43:35.829 --> 00:43:38.902
It's kept in order.

00:43:38.902 --> 00:43:42.230
Your children are in order or they will be stoned.

00:43:42.230 --> 00:43:44.193
You're not hearing me.

00:43:44.193 --> 00:43:48.472
They didn't have a juvenile delinquency problem.

00:43:48.472 --> 00:43:50.039
They didn't have a drug problem.

00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:51.742
They were saved.

00:43:51.742 --> 00:43:54.487
Those people were getting saved from religion.

00:43:54.487 --> 00:43:57.813
They didn't have rampant sin going on.

00:43:57.813 --> 00:44:01.367
You know all kinds of degradation and stuff like that.

00:44:02.168 --> 00:44:10.295
The Bible says that Jesus was sent first to the Jews, not because they were the most corrupt sinners on the world.

00:44:10.295 --> 00:44:18.251
We'd get to those people when we got to Corinth and Ephesus, but we were first sent to the Jews who were in bondage to religion.

00:44:18.251 --> 00:44:19.894
Glory to God.

00:44:19.894 --> 00:44:23.746
They knew how to keep Adam in control.

00:44:23.746 --> 00:44:26.210
They knew how to live a good life.

00:44:26.210 --> 00:44:28.201
They knew how to be responsible.

00:44:28.201 --> 00:44:31.447
They knew how to take their kids to synagogue Amen.

00:44:31.447 --> 00:44:35.735
We didn't have kids staying home on video games, not going to church.

00:44:35.735 --> 00:44:38.143
That just didn't happen, folks.

00:44:38.945 --> 00:44:43.601
But that wasn't enough to keep Jesus from being sent to them first.

00:44:43.601 --> 00:44:48.693
Hallelujah, you see, listen, if you want to make Adam a better Adam.

00:44:48.693 --> 00:44:52.742
God did that by sending the law to the Jews.

00:44:52.742 --> 00:45:04.777
The law was given to keep Adam in control until a savior would come and take the sin of Adam out of the bloodstream.

00:45:04.777 --> 00:45:08.710
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:45:08.710 --> 00:45:10.485
That was the purpose of the law.

00:45:10.485 --> 00:45:12.987
Purpose of the law was to keep Adam in check.

00:45:12.987 --> 00:45:14.887
Yes, it was Amen, but that is not the purpose of the law.

00:45:14.887 --> 00:45:15.896
The purpose of the law was to keep Adam in check.

00:45:15.896 --> 00:45:18.143
Yes, it was Amen, but that is not the purpose of the gospel.

00:45:18.143 --> 00:45:24.400
The gospel is to bring us into a new law, the spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:29.005
That law is a completely different way of living.

00:45:29.005 --> 00:45:33.851
It has nothing to do with Adam and keeping Adam under control.

00:45:33.851 --> 00:45:45.773
It's entering into a law system that abolishes death, that is associated with Adam and brings us into the eternity.

00:45:45.773 --> 00:45:46.713
That is Christ.

00:45:46.713 --> 00:45:49.605
Amen, glory to God.

00:45:50.326 --> 00:46:02.434
The Bible says that what the law could not do, in that it was made weak through the flesh, god did in sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and thereby condemned sin in the flesh.

00:46:02.434 --> 00:46:18.882
I mean right here, while we stand, the Christ in us condemns the sin that is in our flesh, so that he can transfuse this blood system that we got from Adam with the blood system of the son of God.

00:46:18.882 --> 00:46:33.487
The whole reason that Jesus had to become flesh was so that he could substitute the blood of God because we are of God's seed into us, amen, oh hallelujah.

00:46:33.487 --> 00:46:35.469
Into us, amen, oh hallelujah.

00:46:35.469 --> 00:46:37.451
You get a hold of this, you'll never be sick.

00:46:37.451 --> 00:46:38.771
Do we all have?

00:46:38.771 --> 00:46:39.472
We don't have it.

00:46:39.472 --> 00:46:44.516
We don't get this because it hasn't been revealed to us yet.

00:46:44.516 --> 00:46:53.965
Beloved, now we are the sons of God and it does not yet appear what we shall be.

00:46:53.965 --> 00:46:59.903
But we know this that when he appears, we shall be like him or we shall see him as he is.

00:46:59.903 --> 00:47:01.768
How are we going to see him?

00:47:01.768 --> 00:47:02.672
Because he's right here.

00:47:02.672 --> 00:47:05.625
We're going to see him as he is in us.

00:47:05.625 --> 00:47:07.467
Glory to God.

00:47:07.467 --> 00:47:08.971
Thank you, lord.

00:47:09.731 --> 00:47:14.769
This spirit, this law, the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has to be formed in us.

00:47:14.769 --> 00:47:15.791
Amen.

00:47:15.791 --> 00:47:17.699
You don't have to go.

00:47:17.699 --> 00:47:20.750
You don't have to go up on the mountain like Moses did.

00:47:20.750 --> 00:47:25.630
Come down with a couple of tablets, throw them in the ark and go.

00:47:25.630 --> 00:47:27.474
Do this or you'll die.

00:47:27.474 --> 00:47:30.168
That is not what we live under.

00:47:30.168 --> 00:47:32.862
We live under a.

00:47:32.862 --> 00:47:35.429
Do this and you'll live.

00:47:35.429 --> 00:47:38.215
Amen, oh, hallelujah.

00:47:38.958 --> 00:47:52.414
It's an entirely different law, and that law, the essence of that law, can only be formed in us by the spirit, through the crucifixion of Jesus, through the revelation that comes by his resurrection.

00:47:52.414 --> 00:47:59.887
Amen, through these things that the Holy Ghost is going to lead us into and form us into and press us into.

00:47:59.887 --> 00:48:01.170
Hallelujah.

00:48:01.170 --> 00:48:05.811
These things, amen, are what Jesus is all about.

00:48:05.811 --> 00:48:09.025
Salvation is one of them.

00:48:09.025 --> 00:48:11.706
Redemption is one of them.

00:48:11.706 --> 00:48:14.106
Transformation is one of them.

00:48:14.106 --> 00:48:15.722
Justification is one of them.

00:48:15.722 --> 00:48:15.885
Glorification is one of them.

00:48:15.885 --> 00:48:16.510
Transformation is one of them.

00:48:16.510 --> 00:48:16.655
Justification is one of them.

00:48:16.655 --> 00:48:18.646
Glorification is one of them.

00:48:18.646 --> 00:48:24.170
Amen, it's hard to separate any of them from the others.

00:48:24.170 --> 00:48:26.398
Denominations like to do that.

00:48:26.398 --> 00:48:30.824
They like to categorize this stuff that way they can have specialties.

00:48:32.088 --> 00:48:33.512
Amen, I don't want a specialty.

00:48:33.512 --> 00:48:35.766
I'm like that about the gifts.

00:48:35.766 --> 00:48:36.329
I don't want to.

00:48:36.329 --> 00:48:40.764
I don't want to say, well, you know, I'm pretty good at healing, but I'm terrible at discernment.

00:48:40.764 --> 00:48:46.188
You know, I'm well, I'm okay at discernment, but I I'm I'm not very good at interpretation.

00:48:46.188 --> 00:49:00.423
The gifts are given to all, for the benefit of all.

00:49:00.423 --> 00:49:01.226
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:49:01.226 --> 00:49:01.766
Are we getting any of this?

00:49:01.786 --> 00:49:02.989
Let me make a couple more points.

00:49:02.989 --> 00:49:07.320
The root of denominational division, and this is one of the first things that the devil did.

00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:24.400
When the devil saw what happened at Azusa Street and he saw that blacks and whites were worshiping together, he saw that nobody really got upset that the fact that the leader of the movement was a blind black man I mean nobody really.

00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:26.166
That didn't really bother anybody.

00:49:26.166 --> 00:49:34.047
And we're talking about racially segregated United States post-Civil War Hallelujah.

00:49:34.047 --> 00:49:36.994
The root of denominational difference.

00:49:36.994 --> 00:49:42.110
The devil, when he saw what was going on at Azusa Street, said we got to break this up.

00:49:42.110 --> 00:49:48.177
And what they did was they started breaking apart along denominational lines.

00:49:48.177 --> 00:49:54.190
They started to form denominations, the very thing that the Holy Ghost had come to do away with.

00:49:54.190 --> 00:50:01.670
There is one church, there is one Christ, there is one God, there is one Spirit.

00:50:02.391 --> 00:50:04.943
People asked me one time said are you interdenominational?

00:50:04.943 --> 00:50:07.530
I said I am not and I never will be.

00:50:07.530 --> 00:50:12.003
I am no such thing and I don't believe there is such a thing.

00:50:12.003 --> 00:50:18.309
I mean it's bad enough to be of one denomination, but to be interdenomination means you're a part of all of them.

00:50:18.309 --> 00:50:19.251
That's insanity.

00:50:19.251 --> 00:50:21.304
You don't even know who you are.

00:50:21.304 --> 00:50:23.010
Well then, what are you?

00:50:23.010 --> 00:50:27.072
I said I am fervently non-denomination.

00:50:27.072 --> 00:50:29.407
Well, you don't believe in anything.

00:50:29.407 --> 00:50:36.867
I believe exactly what the Holy Ghost teaches me and the Holy Ghost tells me to get away from that stuff.

00:50:36.867 --> 00:50:40.454
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:50:40.454 --> 00:50:42.164
Well, I won't go off on that.

00:50:42.164 --> 00:50:54.974
Praise the Lord, holiness and godness without sacrifice and without crucifixion is man-made and man-centered.

00:50:54.974 --> 00:50:57.016
Amen.

00:50:57.016 --> 00:51:08.577
I'm going to say this You're not ever going to live a life of revelation and of revelatory understanding of who God is without sacrifice.

00:51:08.577 --> 00:51:09.440
Amen.

00:51:11.121 --> 00:51:26.596
It takes maximum amount of time of meditation and quiet and peace and listening and developing a listening ear and developing an understanding spirit.

00:51:26.596 --> 00:51:30.302
Amen, so that you know, if you hear God say something, you don't have to run off to your Bible and make sure that was God.

00:51:30.302 --> 00:51:34.284
If you hear God say something, you don't have to run off to your Bible and make sure that was God.

00:51:34.284 --> 00:51:39.949
Because I'm going to tell you this the more you talk with him and the more he teaches you.

00:51:39.949 --> 00:51:42.030
He's going to teach you right out of scripture.

00:51:42.030 --> 00:51:56.989
You'll understand that what this really is is a primer on his language, fortunately translated for you in the language that you understand, but this is not the way he really speaks.

00:51:56.989 --> 00:52:06.471
Hallelujah, you won't need to go off and run, because he'll be teaching you from this word what this word means.

00:52:07.019 --> 00:52:08.005
Have you thought of this?

00:52:08.005 --> 00:52:09.364
Have you thought of this?

00:52:09.364 --> 00:52:11.487
Have you put these two things together?

00:52:11.487 --> 00:52:13.507
How do you think this relates to this?

00:52:13.507 --> 00:52:25.567
He's teaching you just the way he taught Jesus Glory, praise the Lord, and just the way he taught you before you got here.

00:52:25.567 --> 00:52:37.092
Hallelujah, praise God, holiness and godliness without sacrifice and without crucifixion is not scriptural.

00:52:37.092 --> 00:52:45.434
You're not going to, you're not going to come into this living God's way of living without paying a price.

00:52:45.434 --> 00:52:48.385
That is not what Jesus taught us.

00:52:48.385 --> 00:52:49.947
Amen.

00:52:49.947 --> 00:52:50.831
He said.

00:52:50.831 --> 00:52:51.672
What did he say?

00:52:51.672 --> 00:52:55.268
He said to take up your cross.

00:52:55.268 --> 00:52:56.231
Which cross was it?

00:52:56.231 --> 00:53:01.610
He said to deny yourself and take up your cross daily and follow me.

00:53:01.610 --> 00:53:03.974
That's what Jesus teaches.

00:53:03.974 --> 00:53:05.061
Amen.

00:53:05.061 --> 00:53:05.862
We don't, we don't.

00:53:05.983 --> 00:53:07.788
We don't hear that in today's church.

00:53:07.788 --> 00:53:21.851
We hear a lot about you know, come as you are, and just you know, be what you know, be whatever you want to be, and just you know blah, blah, blah, not realizing that there's a conformity to the doctrine of God.

00:53:21.851 --> 00:53:24.342
Amen.

00:53:24.342 --> 00:53:29.831
Paul said I am an apostle of God and I have been sent to teach his doctrine.

00:53:29.831 --> 00:53:32.206
So there's a doctrine of God.

00:53:32.206 --> 00:53:33.704
Doesn't have anything to do with the doctrine of men.

00:53:33.704 --> 00:53:34.257
There's a doctrine of God.

00:53:34.257 --> 00:53:34.632
It doesn't have anything to do with the doctrine of men.

00:53:34.632 --> 00:53:38.608
There's a doctrine of God, amen, praise God.

00:53:38.608 --> 00:53:44.925
It's not denominational dribble, it's a doctrine that he teaches by revelation.

00:53:45.726 --> 00:53:55.853
Listen, I don't care what denomination you belong to, but at the end of the day, if you spend enough time at it, you can read all they've got to offer.

00:53:55.853 --> 00:53:58.949
You read every book, every book in their library.

00:53:58.949 --> 00:54:01.228
You can read every book that's ever been written.

00:54:01.228 --> 00:54:02.222
You can read.

00:54:02.222 --> 00:54:07.813
You can get all of the comment commentaries on the commentaries on the commentaries on the commentaries.

00:54:07.813 --> 00:54:11.851
You can, you know, just read it, read it, read it, read it, read it.

00:54:11.851 --> 00:54:17.612
You can do that, but you can never get to the end of the doctrine of God.

00:54:17.612 --> 00:54:25.333
You can never get the last word on the doctrine of God, amen.

00:54:25.333 --> 00:54:33.128
You can't do it because it hasn't been written yet, it hasn't been said yet, it hasn't been spoken yet.

00:54:33.128 --> 00:54:41.061
Said yet, it hasn't been spoken yet.

00:54:41.061 --> 00:54:44.367
It may be so deep in the riches and glory by Christ Jesus that nobody's ever got there to get it.

00:54:44.367 --> 00:54:44.487
Amen.

00:54:44.507 --> 00:54:50.503
It's just waiting for somebody to go that deep into God to get that revelation.

00:54:50.503 --> 00:55:02.713
And you know what's going to happen when you get into that hall and that room and that doorknob, and you're going to think this is it, I'm here, I'm going to get the last word.

00:55:02.713 --> 00:55:14.648
And you open that door and, oh my God, all there is is a bunch of other halls with infinity number of doors and you go ah, thank God, I've got eternity.

00:55:14.648 --> 00:55:19.061
And that's exactly what that place looks like.

00:55:19.061 --> 00:55:21.806
It is a place in God.

00:55:21.806 --> 00:55:26.594
It's not a building someplace, it's a place in God.

00:55:26.594 --> 00:55:45.009
The riches of glory by Christ Jesus is a place in God, and everything he has for you is there Every revelation, every understanding, everything that God wants to reveal about himself, his godness, his godliness.

00:55:45.009 --> 00:55:49.168
Great is the mystery of godliness, and it's all in this one place.

00:55:49.168 --> 00:55:50.885
And that place is in him.

00:55:50.885 --> 00:55:54.427
Amen, and that's the only place you can go to get.

00:55:54.427 --> 00:56:01.268
This revelation is in him, and the only way you can get to be in him is for him to be in you.

00:56:01.268 --> 00:56:02.452
Glory to God.

00:56:02.851 --> 00:56:11.969
And if the church won't come to grips with this, god is going to raise up a people who he can inhabit, even if they're not in a church building.

00:56:11.969 --> 00:56:12.550
Oh well, would that be you?

00:56:12.550 --> 00:56:12.913
That would be you.

00:56:12.913 --> 00:56:13.554
You're not in a church building?

00:56:13.554 --> 00:56:14.559
Oh well, would that be you.

00:56:14.559 --> 00:56:15.844
That would be you.

00:56:15.844 --> 00:56:24.923
You're not in a church building, you're in a covered dwelling, you're in a tabernacle.

00:56:24.923 --> 00:56:25.505
Glory to God.

00:56:25.505 --> 00:56:27.248
I could preach this.

00:56:27.248 --> 00:56:30.175
Glory to God, let's stand.

00:56:30.175 --> 00:56:31.527
Praise God.
