What if your spiritual DNA could redefine who you are at your very core? Join us as we explore this transformative concept, challenging the often superficial goals set by modern churches. We discuss the profound idea that being 'in Christ' is more than just being saved—it's a rebirth into a divine lineage that transcends earthly ties. Discover the radical shift that occurs when we prioritize our spiritual family and embrace the true calling of a new creation in Christ.

As we navigate through personal experiences and biblical insights, we highlight the crucial difference between the family of flesh and the spiritual kinship we share as the receivers of God. Through stories of ministry and unexpected acts of faith, we illustrate how obedience to divine guidance can lead to transformative moments that defy our natural limitations. Listen as we challenge the conventional wisdom of the church and advocate for a life deeply led by the Holy Spirit.

Finally, we focus on the power of faith-driven love and unity within the body of Christ. By examining the essence of spiritual relationships and the eternal family of God, we emphasize the significance of trusting in divine plans during times of crisis. Whether it's experiencing God's presence through worship or reimagining our family dynamics through a spiritual lens, this episode urges you to embrace a life enriched by divine guidance and eternal perspective.

00:00:00.419 --> 00:00:02.301
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

00:00:02.301 --> 00:00:04.203
We are so glad you are here today.

00:00:04.203 --> 00:00:05.823
Praise the Lord.

00:00:05.823 --> 00:00:07.245
Thank you, jesus.

00:00:07.245 --> 00:00:08.785
Glory to God.

00:00:08.785 --> 00:00:19.092
Praise the name of the Lord, hallelujah.

00:00:20.673 --> 00:00:41.151
Unusual in the sense that it's much more teaching than it is anything else, and there's a lot of things I'm going to refer to in passing scripture references, because I want you to know that what I'm going to bring you today is not my idea.

00:00:41.151 --> 00:00:48.451
Okay, it is what the Lord thinks about what I'm going to minister about.

00:00:48.451 --> 00:01:10.647
However, I have to say this at the very beginning of this message praise God, because hallelujah, it is bound to step on everybody's toes and I don't bring this message thinking that I need to drive a point home to any person in particular.

00:01:10.647 --> 00:01:31.989
But you need to know this if you're going to press forward into the Lord, into deeper things in God, into more of being at his disposal, because I'm going to teach you something the way God sees it today.

00:01:31.989 --> 00:01:44.308
See, my job is not ever to teach you the way that I see things, it's to teach you how God sees things Then you have to deal with that yourself.

00:01:44.308 --> 00:01:54.766
You have to go home and you have to say okay, lord, I want to know more about how you see things Because, at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is how he sees things.

00:01:54.766 --> 00:02:07.722
That's really the only thing, and the miracle of all miracles is that he has enabled you to see things the way he sees them, feel things the way he feels them, know things the way he knows them.

00:02:07.722 --> 00:02:11.390
Amen, touch the way he touches, minister the way he ministers.

00:02:12.312 --> 00:02:17.527
I was going to show you something on that graph.

00:02:17.527 --> 00:02:19.270
I'll let that pass, praise God.

00:02:19.270 --> 00:02:25.631
Anyway, I want you to hear this the way it's brought, because I'm not bringing it as chastisement.

00:02:25.631 --> 00:02:38.293
I'm bringing it as further revelation, because some of these things you should know, amen, but you may not know it in the context or in the way that I'm going to present it.

00:02:38.293 --> 00:02:49.247
Okay, so we're going to start at the beginning, which is usually a good place to start, if you have any chance of getting a hold of what we're talking about.

00:02:49.247 --> 00:03:03.381
What I'm about to bring this morning is something that has the way that God sees this issue, not the way I see it, and it's not chastisement, it's not correction, it's not.

00:03:03.381 --> 00:03:08.473
You know, I wish you all would get on the bandwagon and, you know, get going with this.

00:03:08.473 --> 00:03:20.015
It's just that I know this from my personal experience of what God has dealt with me over the years is if you want to go on with God, amen, you're going to have to learn this lesson.

00:03:21.237 --> 00:03:37.150
I'm just going to be real bold out there and say you know, there's probably not anybody in this room and there's probably not anybody that I'm ever going to talk to that has missed more birthdays, more special days, more holidays than this preacher.

00:03:37.150 --> 00:03:42.427
I've had more long-distance phone calls from the most remote parts of the planet.

00:03:42.427 --> 00:03:43.807
Well, I wish I could be there today.

00:03:43.807 --> 00:03:44.393
Happy birthday, dad loves you.

00:03:44.393 --> 00:03:45.078
And I wish I could be there today.

00:03:45.078 --> 00:03:46.641
Happy birthday, dad loves you.

00:03:46.641 --> 00:03:59.532
And I wasn't sad about doing it because I knew the Lord has called me to a different family and the title of this message is who is my brother?

00:03:59.532 --> 00:04:05.532
And I'm not talking about Cain and Abel, I'm talking about what the Lord says.

00:04:05.532 --> 00:04:13.189
If I said, how many of you know that if you read the red, you'll have a pretty good idea about how God sees things.

00:04:13.189 --> 00:04:22.151
If you believe the red, you'll be one more step along in understanding how he sees things, amen.

00:04:23.605 --> 00:04:27.149
I'm going to start with this scripture 2 Corinthians 5, verse 17.

00:04:27.149 --> 00:04:31.547
It says that if any man be in Christ now.

00:04:31.547 --> 00:04:34.492
It doesn't say if any man is born again.

00:04:34.492 --> 00:04:39.365
It doesn't say if any man believes Jesus for the forgiveness of sins.

00:04:39.365 --> 00:04:42.309
It says if any man be in Christ.

00:04:42.309 --> 00:04:47.276
Being in Christ is a completely different thing than being saved.

00:04:47.276 --> 00:04:52.692
Being in Christ requires that you are filled with the Holy Ghost, amen.

00:04:52.692 --> 00:05:06.014
It also requires a certain level of willingness to be transformed, because if you're going to be in Christ, the whole reason to be in him is to be transformed into his image.

00:05:06.014 --> 00:05:27.995
If you're not willing to do that, if you're one of those people that believe that that's going to happen when you go to heaven amen then you almost disqualify yourself from being in him now, because to be in him now requires not only that you be filled, but that you be willing to be transformed.

00:05:27.995 --> 00:05:31.045
Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.

00:05:31.045 --> 00:05:33.629
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:05:34.531 --> 00:05:37.742
The modern church does not believe any of this.

00:05:37.742 --> 00:05:45.774
The modern church believes that you can know the things of God by the flesh.

00:05:45.774 --> 00:05:48.208
In other words, faith comes by reading.

00:05:48.208 --> 00:05:50.286
Faith doesn't come by hearing.

00:05:50.286 --> 00:05:52.165
Faith comes by reading.

00:05:52.165 --> 00:05:56.548
All I have to do is read, and I don't even necessarily have to read the Bible.

00:05:56.548 --> 00:06:00.747
I can just read somebody else's ideas about what they think the Bible might mean.

00:06:00.747 --> 00:06:04.291
You know, and get my little you know, five minutes with God, little thing I keep by my bed, you know.

00:06:04.291 --> 00:06:07.648
You can get my little you know, five minutes with God, little thing I keep by my bed, you know.

00:06:07.648 --> 00:06:09.173
And that's enough and bless.

00:06:09.173 --> 00:06:11.084
God will just go on from there.

00:06:11.084 --> 00:06:11.987
Amen.

00:06:12.749 --> 00:06:25.314
The modern church by and large is anta, anti Holy Ghost, anti anointing, anti anti-Christ in its way.

00:06:25.314 --> 00:06:26.074
That's set up.

00:06:26.074 --> 00:06:34.509
It's not set up to go into the deep things of God, because the deep things of God are only known by the Spirit.

00:06:34.509 --> 00:06:37.865
I've got numbers on you See.

00:06:37.865 --> 00:06:38.827
I'm a numbers guy.

00:06:38.827 --> 00:06:40.531
Numbers don't scare me.

00:06:40.531 --> 00:06:44.290
You learn a lot by numbers, amen.

00:06:44.500 --> 00:06:57.067
On a worldwide basis, over 80% of people that call themselves Christians don't have anything to do with the Holy Ghost and of those 20% that's left over, very few of them are pressing into God.

00:06:57.067 --> 00:06:57.850
They're just, you know.

00:06:57.850 --> 00:07:01.064
They're just people that had an experience with the Holy Ghost once.

00:07:01.064 --> 00:07:04.612
They may talk a little bit in tongues, or they did 25 years ago.

00:07:04.612 --> 00:07:13.802
Are you following me?

00:07:13.802 --> 00:07:14.043
Praise God.

00:07:14.043 --> 00:07:14.946
I'm talking about being in Christ.

00:07:14.966 --> 00:07:17.033
The Lord spoke to me many, many, many decades ago and said this to me.

00:07:17.033 --> 00:07:22.127
He said if you don't understand the principle of the seed, you will never understand it.

00:07:22.127 --> 00:07:29.646
And the first principle of the principle of the seed is the seed is the seed of the new creation.

00:07:29.646 --> 00:07:34.975
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation.

00:07:34.975 --> 00:07:37.701
Old things have passed away.

00:07:37.701 --> 00:07:41.706
Behold, all things have become new or are become new.

00:07:41.706 --> 00:07:43.249
What does that mean?

00:07:43.249 --> 00:07:55.069
It means that if you are in Christ, amen, you are in this new creation and in this new creation, amen.

00:07:55.750 --> 00:08:00.884
1 John 3, 9 says that we, because of this, we have acquired a new DNA.

00:08:00.884 --> 00:08:04.009
See, I'm going to talk about bloodline.

00:08:04.009 --> 00:08:07.295
I'm going to talk a lot about bloodline today.

00:08:07.295 --> 00:08:10.064
Everybody ready to talk about bloodline?

00:08:10.064 --> 00:08:11.389
Amen.

00:08:11.389 --> 00:08:12.711
I'm not going to get real technical.

00:08:12.711 --> 00:08:16.588
Don't freak out because you slept through biology class.

00:08:16.588 --> 00:08:17.951
So did most of the other people.

00:08:17.951 --> 00:08:20.704
It's okay, I didn't.

00:08:20.704 --> 00:08:23.749
Bloodline is what we're going to talk about.

00:08:24.571 --> 00:08:29.163
1 John 3, 9 says whoever has been born of God does not sin.

00:08:29.163 --> 00:08:34.475
His seed, for his seed, god's seed, remains in him.

00:08:34.475 --> 00:08:35.518
What seed is that?

00:08:35.518 --> 00:08:37.100
That seed is Christ.

00:08:37.100 --> 00:08:40.525
That seed is the new creation.

00:08:40.525 --> 00:08:44.051
That seed is why Jesus came.

00:08:44.051 --> 00:08:48.697
Now, jesus came for a lot of reasons.

00:08:48.697 --> 00:08:52.927
The modern church only has one reason so that you can get your sins forgiven.

00:08:52.927 --> 00:08:56.922
But if you'll look at most of what the modern church.

00:08:56.922 --> 00:08:58.047
I do this.

00:08:58.047 --> 00:09:07.731
I go on, I look up their little statements of faith and their mission statements of what do we believe and what are we trying to do, and most of what passes for the modern Christian church.

00:09:07.731 --> 00:09:09.741
They just open one up right over here.

00:09:09.741 --> 00:09:12.229
Right, there used to be a movie theater over there.

00:09:12.229 --> 00:09:15.186
Now, bless God, there's a church where there used to be a movie theater.

00:09:15.186 --> 00:09:16.288
I'm happy about that.

00:09:16.288 --> 00:09:21.062
But that church is nothing about transformation.

00:09:21.062 --> 00:09:24.269
It is all about strengthening families.

00:09:24.269 --> 00:09:31.208
I mean, they say it once, they say it twice, they say it a dozen times we're all about making stronger families.

00:09:31.208 --> 00:09:32.751
You know.

00:09:32.751 --> 00:09:37.383
Glory to God, hallelujah, praise God.

00:09:37.383 --> 00:09:40.187
But they're looking at the wrong family.

00:09:40.947 --> 00:09:43.350
We're talking about the seed of the new creation.

00:09:43.350 --> 00:09:51.471
If you're in him, then his seed is in you, and the way that seed gets in you is by the Holy Ghost.

00:09:51.471 --> 00:09:54.320
It is by the process called the quickening.

00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.803
It is by the process called transformation.

00:09:57.803 --> 00:10:14.807
It is by the process that where God quickens you to who you really are in him and why everything he has to do with you has to do with you as his new creation.

00:10:14.807 --> 00:10:19.903
Because when he dealt with you, when you were in him before time began.

00:10:19.903 --> 00:10:26.053
He dealt with you as the new creation, not as this person that you walk through the earth in.

00:10:26.053 --> 00:10:36.081
See what you walk through the earth in and the name that you have and the characteristics you have are all given to you by your mother and father Amen.

00:10:36.081 --> 00:10:37.604
But that's not how.

00:10:37.604 --> 00:10:41.273
That's not the you that God knew before the foundation of the world.

00:10:41.273 --> 00:10:47.009
The you that God knew is the you that is part of the seed.

00:10:47.009 --> 00:10:54.028
If you're born of God, that seed is in you and it cannot sin because it's been born of God.

00:10:54.028 --> 00:11:03.514
Now, if you're born of God, you're born of the Spirit, and when you're born of the Spirit, you acquire a new DNA.

00:11:04.501 --> 00:11:07.235
I haven't got time to talk about all this today.

00:11:07.235 --> 00:11:23.129
I may talk about some other, but this is the heart of how healing works, especially for people like you and me, who have been born of God, who are born of the Spirit, who are in Him Amen.

00:11:23.129 --> 00:11:28.104
And the reason you can get healed and somebody else doesn't get healed Amen.

00:11:28.104 --> 00:11:35.123
Somebody else is going to have to get healed by your faith or somebody that believes like you Amen.

00:11:35.123 --> 00:11:39.110
But you can get healed and stay healed and stay well.

00:11:39.110 --> 00:11:40.812
Amen.

00:11:40.812 --> 00:11:44.486
Because you have a different DNA that sin can't touch.

00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:51.562
I've been in a house.

00:11:51.562 --> 00:11:55.677
I have been in it literally recently, for several days, been in a house with what four or five people that had COVID.

00:11:55.677 --> 00:11:57.744
I mean, the whole house was down.

00:11:57.744 --> 00:12:04.019
We ran out of places to quarantine them and we're just running around walking around here like nothing ever happened.

00:12:04.019 --> 00:12:08.447
Quarantine them and we're just running around walking around here like nothing ever happened.

00:12:08.447 --> 00:12:09.110
We never even sniffled.

00:12:09.110 --> 00:12:11.013
And my youngest daughter said she was really impressed.

00:12:11.013 --> 00:12:20.306
She said I thought I was really worried for you guys and it was all of us that were younger that got sick.

00:12:20.306 --> 00:12:21.267
You guys didn't even get touched.

00:12:21.267 --> 00:12:26.355
I said it's the power of God that works in you to do greater and mightier things that you cannot understand or know.

00:12:26.355 --> 00:12:29.263
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:12:29.263 --> 00:12:31.245
And she said yeah, I know that.

00:12:31.245 --> 00:12:34.110
She knew it.

00:12:34.110 --> 00:12:35.451
Glory to God.

00:12:36.274 --> 00:12:40.003
Now, this new DNA, or the life I'll use the term DNA because it's easier to say, but it's the life of the spirit.

00:12:40.003 --> 00:12:49.894
I'll use the term DNA because it's easier to say, but it's the life of the spirit, the life of the spirit of God that flows in you is your new DNA.

00:12:49.894 --> 00:12:53.288
It's the, it's the thing that replicates life in you.

00:12:53.288 --> 00:12:54.565
That's what DNA does.

00:12:54.565 --> 00:13:02.447
There's a DNA that came by God through the through create, through the first creation, and it enables your body to function.

00:13:02.447 --> 00:13:05.576
Amen, and it enables your body to function Amen.

00:13:05.576 --> 00:13:15.250
But this new DNA that you have is what enables your spirit to function and to seek to be transformed into the image of your creator.

00:13:15.250 --> 00:13:17.186
Glory to God.

00:13:17.186 --> 00:13:32.207
You can try all day to get your DNA in your body to be like your creator, and it ain't going to happen, because the DNA in your body is for your body, and thank God, god made it like that.

00:13:32.207 --> 00:13:35.349
But in the new creation there's no such thing.

00:13:35.349 --> 00:13:38.889
That's been replaced by the life of the spirit.

00:13:38.889 --> 00:13:45.250
That's why the law that governs this new creation is called the law of the spirit of life.

00:13:45.751 --> 00:13:50.927
In Christ Jesus, words are important, amen.

00:13:50.927 --> 00:13:52.009
Are you with me?

00:13:52.009 --> 00:13:53.352
All right.

00:13:53.352 --> 00:13:56.193
However, this part you're not going to like.

00:13:56.193 --> 00:14:13.812
Amen, but it's obviously true that if there's a change in DNA, there has to be a change in your family, because what makes you a family unit in the first creation is your DNA.

00:14:13.812 --> 00:14:20.153
You take my DNA and you take the DNA of my children, amen.

00:14:20.153 --> 00:14:30.167
You run a DNA test and they'll say well, that one belongs to you, that one belongs to you, that one belongs to you, that one belongs to you, that one does not belong to you, that one has nothing to do with you.

00:14:30.167 --> 00:14:31.683
How do they know that?

00:14:31.683 --> 00:14:32.407
By DNA.

00:14:32.407 --> 00:14:37.932
So my DNA establishes who my family is in the flesh.

00:14:37.932 --> 00:14:57.793
But if I change my DNA, if I get a blood transfusion oh, glory to God, my DNA if I get a blood transfusion and I get a new set of DNA from the Lord that has nothing to do with this but has everything to do with him amen then my family changes.

00:14:57.793 --> 00:15:01.121
It has to by definition.

00:15:01.121 --> 00:15:08.715
By definition, my family in the flesh is the family that shares my common DNA markers.

00:15:08.715 --> 00:15:14.633
But if I get born of God, my DNA is going to change.

00:15:14.633 --> 00:15:16.691
And now I'm in a new family.

00:15:16.691 --> 00:15:19.966
Oh, hallelujah, I'm going to.

00:15:21.941 --> 00:15:33.932
There are so many scriptures that tell you this, but we don't want to hear it Because there is no greater pull on you in your life than your family.

00:15:33.932 --> 00:15:36.823
None, and God knows this.

00:15:36.823 --> 00:15:38.190
Hallelujah.

00:15:38.190 --> 00:15:46.980
Now I want to say this right at the beginning I'm not anti-family, I'm not anti-carrying out your family responsibilities.

00:15:46.980 --> 00:15:50.205
I took care of my mother in my house for what?

00:15:50.205 --> 00:15:54.513
I don't know how long it was.

00:15:54.513 --> 00:15:56.740
It was almost 20 years Now.

00:15:56.740 --> 00:16:01.032
Part of that time she had her own little place of living, but it was right close to us.

00:16:01.032 --> 00:16:03.323
You know, hallelujah.

00:16:03.323 --> 00:16:11.067
So I'm not anti this, I'm just telling you what the Bible says oh, glory to God.

00:16:11.067 --> 00:16:13.413
You're giving me those faces again, like.

00:16:13.413 --> 00:16:14.176
Here it comes.

00:16:14.998 --> 00:16:28.399
The family that you were born into, the family that you belong to, the family that you share a fleshly DNA with, is the family of Adam's bloodline.

00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:44.610
Okay, you have this body and you have a place in the earth because of this body and you have a family called mother, called father, called brothers, called sisters, called second cousins twice removed, and all that kind of stuff.

00:16:44.610 --> 00:17:00.169
I have to go on Google any time I want to figure out what all that means.

00:17:00.169 --> 00:17:00.330
Amen.

00:17:00.330 --> 00:17:04.034
But you've got all of that because Adam knew Eve.

00:17:04.034 --> 00:17:05.435
End of.

00:17:05.435 --> 00:17:08.898
We get 23 chromosomes from our father.

00:17:08.898 --> 00:17:12.424
We get 23 chromosomes from our mother.

00:17:12.424 --> 00:17:13.567
Amen.

00:17:13.567 --> 00:17:15.210
It makes up 46 chromosomes.

00:17:15.210 --> 00:17:19.503
Everybody goes through this, goes on and on and on to the.

00:17:19.503 --> 00:17:24.073
Billions of people have been born out of that one union.

00:17:24.073 --> 00:17:25.242
Billions of people have been born out of that one union.

00:17:25.242 --> 00:17:27.128
Praise God, are you with me?

00:17:27.128 --> 00:17:34.530
You didn't sleep through that part of biology class, did you All right?

00:17:34.530 --> 00:17:35.934
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:41.673
Now the issue with all this is simply that that belongs to Adam.

00:17:41.673 --> 00:17:53.411
So when a church tells you that their whole mission is about making a stronger family, what they're really telling you is that they want to make a better Adam.

00:17:53.411 --> 00:18:10.721
They want Adam to behave better, they want Adam to hold his temper, they want Adam not to beat his wife, or he doesn't want the wife to mistreat the husband or mistreat the kids, or you know, don't kick the dog, by all means, don't kick the dog.

00:18:10.721 --> 00:18:12.682
My god, you'll go to jail.

00:18:12.682 --> 00:18:14.469
More than that if you kick the wife.

00:18:14.469 --> 00:18:17.930
You know, you know you'll do.

00:18:17.930 --> 00:18:23.339
There's places in this country that you will do more time for shooting a dog than you will for shooting a person.

00:18:23.339 --> 00:18:29.209
You know it's just insane, but so you don't want to shoot, you don't want to kick the dog.

00:18:29.209 --> 00:18:29.871
Amen.

00:18:29.871 --> 00:18:32.701
Treat your neighbors right, be a good neighbor, be.

00:18:32.701 --> 00:18:37.130
You know all this kind of stuff, but it's all about Adam being a better Adam.

00:18:37.130 --> 00:18:45.287
But you know you can just look at the history of mankind and understand this that Adam's not going to get better.

00:18:45.287 --> 00:18:48.423
Adam's a lost cause.

00:18:49.263 --> 00:19:02.913
One of the reasons Jesus came was to remove the curse of Adam from you, and the way that he does that is, by giving you a different DNA than Adam had.

00:19:02.913 --> 00:19:07.185
Now, where are you going to be when you get to be a new creation?

00:19:07.185 --> 00:19:08.329
Where's that location?

00:19:08.329 --> 00:19:09.984
It's called in him.

00:19:09.984 --> 00:19:13.808
Okay, in him there was a guy.

00:19:13.808 --> 00:19:28.811
I don't know whether this is true or not, but he claimed to have gone into one of the tunnels that's underneath the temple mount and found the ark under the badger skins, and it was located.

00:19:28.811 --> 00:19:29.973
This is what he said.

00:19:29.973 --> 00:19:34.228
I'm not saying you've got to believe this, but I just want to illustrate this one point.

00:19:34.228 --> 00:19:47.241
He said it was right underneath the place where the cross would have been and he scraped blood samplings off the badger skins and found out that those blood samplings only had 23 chromosomes.

00:19:47.241 --> 00:19:51.869
He had all the chromosomes that were necessary.

00:19:51.869 --> 00:19:59.972
This is why all of this stuff about Jesus having affairs and having children and all that kind of stuff are impossible.

00:19:59.972 --> 00:20:01.963
He couldn't have.

00:20:01.963 --> 00:20:04.172
He didn't have the right chromosome set.

00:20:04.172 --> 00:20:06.603
This guy said he did the blood test.

00:20:06.603 --> 00:20:09.346
He only had 23 chromosomes, 23 from Mary.

00:20:09.346 --> 00:20:20.640
But since he didn't have a human father, somebody say God doesn't have chromosomes because he is spirit hallelujah.

00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:25.365
Hang on to the end, because I'm recording this.

00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:29.310
Listen to what it says in Matthew, the 10th chapter, verse 35.

00:20:29.310 --> 00:20:31.605
It says I have come.

00:20:31.605 --> 00:20:33.163
This is Jesus talking.

00:20:33.163 --> 00:20:34.849
I have come.

00:20:34.849 --> 00:20:38.950
This is one of these scriptures that we read it and we just go what does that mean?

00:20:38.950 --> 00:20:40.025
And go right past it.

00:20:40.025 --> 00:20:49.482
I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

00:20:49.482 --> 00:20:51.025
Why is that?

00:20:51.025 --> 00:21:04.108
Because he was going to cause, when somebody accepted him and became a new creation, amen, there was going to be division in the family.

00:21:04.851 --> 00:21:16.740
If you've not been to third world countries or places that are off the scale, religious, you don't know what happens to people when they get saved.

00:21:16.740 --> 00:21:26.453
Met a young lady at a she was a receptionist at a hotel, got to talking with her and you know, are you saved?

00:21:26.453 --> 00:21:28.056
Yes, yes, where do you go to church?

00:21:28.056 --> 00:21:29.222
We go to this church.

00:21:29.222 --> 00:21:30.144
Well, tell me about it.

00:21:30.144 --> 00:21:31.288
And then she started to.

00:21:31.669 --> 00:21:37.769
So when I got saved, my family literally kicked me out of the house without anything.

00:21:37.769 --> 00:21:41.263
I had the clothes on my back and that was all I had.

00:21:41.263 --> 00:21:42.946
They would not talk to me anymore.

00:21:42.946 --> 00:21:46.094
They would not give me my possessions that were in the house.

00:21:46.094 --> 00:21:49.228
They kicked me out and I didn't have anything.

00:21:49.228 --> 00:21:50.171
I didn't have a job.

00:21:50.171 --> 00:21:55.846
I didn't have anywhere to go and the pastor of the church where I got saved.

00:21:55.846 --> 00:22:07.301
The pastor took me in and started to raise me, got me this job and everything else, but she was totally ostracized from her family, her community.

00:22:07.301 --> 00:22:10.248
They would not have anything to do with her.

00:22:10.248 --> 00:22:17.281
You take that to the northern Sahara part of Africa.

00:22:17.281 --> 00:22:20.405
It's 20 times worse.

00:22:20.987 --> 00:22:30.281
So God knew this and he says this in verse 36, a man's enemies will be those of his own household.

00:22:30.281 --> 00:22:37.722
You know, the religion usually teaches you that your three enemies are the world, the devil and your own flesh.

00:22:37.722 --> 00:22:43.962
But the Bible teaches that you better add your own family and false religion to that list.

00:22:43.962 --> 00:22:46.229
Nobody likes to think about that.

00:22:46.229 --> 00:22:47.571
Their own family is their enemy.

00:22:47.571 --> 00:22:52.962
But look at how much trouble and grief some of your family has put you through, hallelujah.

00:22:52.962 --> 00:22:53.766
Just think about it.

00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:56.425
And then Jesus says this.

00:22:56.425 --> 00:22:58.226
Jesus is still talking here.

00:22:58.226 --> 00:23:08.823
He said he who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

00:23:08.823 --> 00:23:12.619
And it's real easy to read that and say oh well, that's not me, because I love God.

00:23:12.619 --> 00:23:14.571
I just love the Lord.

00:23:15.133 --> 00:23:16.234
But if you're going to love God.

00:23:16.234 --> 00:23:29.884
You have to love what he's going to do with you, and I guarantee you that if you love God, he is going to cause you to come out from among them and be ye separate.

00:23:29.884 --> 00:23:43.863
And if you're not willing to do that, then you better find yourself in this scripture and say which side of the equation am I on, if I'm not willing to be separated, if I'm not willing to be pulled apart?

00:23:43.863 --> 00:23:58.939
Now, what you have to understand is that this still does not give you any kind of responsibility, any kind of a free ticket not to do what you're supposed to do with your mother, with your father, with brothers and sisters that are in need.

00:23:58.939 --> 00:24:05.779
You still have to do that, but you have to do it like they don't belong to you and you don't belong to them.

00:24:06.101 --> 00:24:09.656
You belong to God, you are in him.

00:24:09.656 --> 00:24:16.569
See, in him is not this mystical place In him is a real spiritual location.

00:24:16.569 --> 00:24:30.104
And if you're in Christ and you belong to him, then anything else that even sniffs of rivaling your attention from that is a troubled place.

00:24:30.104 --> 00:24:31.872
You're going to have to look at it.

00:24:31.872 --> 00:24:37.118
You're going to have to deal with it because the Holy Ghost is going to deal with it, because the Holy Ghost idea.

00:24:37.118 --> 00:24:44.214
The only thing, that really the only thing that the Holy Ghost has to do is to draw you deeper into him.

00:24:44.214 --> 00:24:51.545
Get the image of John pressing on the breast of Jesus at the last supper.

00:24:51.545 --> 00:24:52.465
Get that image.

00:24:52.465 --> 00:24:55.439
That's what the Holy ghost is trying to do.

00:24:55.439 --> 00:25:00.775
He's trying to draw you in to the heart of God, where you never leave.

00:25:00.775 --> 00:25:10.375
That's what he wants, so that anytime you do go out, you go out with the heart of God, not your heart.

00:25:10.375 --> 00:25:13.107
Are you hearing me?

00:25:13.107 --> 00:25:17.922
You go out, when, where, how, how much, with what attention?

00:25:17.922 --> 00:25:24.503
You go under his instruction, not yours, hallelujah.

00:25:25.790 --> 00:25:30.934
See, adam's bloodline was the bloodline of the first creation, nothing you could do about that.

00:25:30.934 --> 00:25:32.519
We were all born of that bloodline.

00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:34.810
You can't say, well, that didn't happen.

00:25:34.810 --> 00:25:36.555
It did happen, amen.

00:25:36.555 --> 00:25:39.343
But you also were destined.

00:25:39.343 --> 00:25:52.998
Romans, the eighth chapter says, for those that were called, that it says this it says that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord, who are the called according to his purpose.

00:25:52.998 --> 00:25:56.752
And if you've been called, you have been foreknown.

00:25:56.752 --> 00:25:59.880
If you've been foreknown, you've been predestined.

00:25:59.880 --> 00:26:02.752
If you've been predestined, you've been justified.

00:26:02.752 --> 00:26:05.577
And if you've been justified, you've been glorified.

00:26:05.577 --> 00:26:11.433
Amen Says all those things, and that's a succession of things about your life.

00:26:12.476 --> 00:26:25.778
Amen, adam's bloodline is a carnal, fleshly bloodline, but you belong to a bloodline that is older than that, that is in God, in Christ.

00:26:25.778 --> 00:26:29.865
You were in Christ when Christ was in God, amen.

00:26:29.865 --> 00:26:36.222
And you are older than all of that and your bloodline, your original bloodline, is more than that.

00:26:36.222 --> 00:26:37.773
But you have to be quickened to that.

00:26:37.773 --> 00:26:42.672
If you're never quickened to that, then that can't be activated in your life.

00:26:42.672 --> 00:26:51.284
Just because it happened, amen Doesn't mean you can live in it, in this flesh.

00:26:51.284 --> 00:26:52.306
Amen.

00:26:52.390 --> 00:27:07.336
Because the instance listen to me very carefully in the instance that you get quickened to who you really are, amen, then the crucifixion of Adam that happened on the cross starts to happen in your life.

00:27:07.336 --> 00:27:09.278
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

00:27:09.278 --> 00:27:30.038
When you said, when you say I, when your identity is with Christ and the cross, amen, that doesn't happen until you're quickened by the Holy ghost as to who you really are, because then the Adam that is in you starts to be crucified so that the Christ who you are in can become greater.

00:27:30.038 --> 00:27:32.144
For you, it's a trade-off.

00:27:32.144 --> 00:27:37.021
Adam has to die, christ has to live, he must decrease, he must increase.

00:27:37.021 --> 00:27:38.654
Are you with me so far?

00:27:39.471 --> 00:27:44.462
The flesh, because it's sensual, is created of things seen.

00:27:44.462 --> 00:27:49.424
You're not made out of mystical stuff, amen.

00:27:49.424 --> 00:28:01.451
You're made out of carbon and oxygen and dirt which forms into organs and cells and hair and teeth and all that kind of stuff, amen.

00:28:01.451 --> 00:28:08.473
But you know just as well as anybody else does that this stuff comes and goes, just as well as anybody else does that this stuff comes and goes.

00:28:08.473 --> 00:28:10.315
No, I'm not going to get you to understand all that.

00:28:10.315 --> 00:28:11.394
Praise God.

00:28:11.915 --> 00:28:21.200
Now the thing about this, unfortunately for you, is that this is totally corrupted by Adam's sin.

00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:45.654
When Adam listened to Eve and ate of the apple or whatever it was the fruit, it wasn't an apple when he ate of that and sinned, that sin was so great it permeated the entire universe because that was all of the first creation.

00:28:45.654 --> 00:28:53.275
So the sin of the first created man, add them the first Adam, when he sinned, it permeated all of creation.

00:28:53.275 --> 00:29:04.797
It permeated you down through multiple generations so that when you were born, you were born with the full complement of Adam's sin.

00:29:04.797 --> 00:29:06.980
You can thank your dad for that.

00:29:06.980 --> 00:29:10.605
Amen Thoroughly.

00:29:10.704 --> 00:29:13.796
I said everybody say thoroughly, thoroughly.

00:29:13.796 --> 00:29:16.863
There's no good thing that dwells in me.

00:29:16.863 --> 00:29:24.855
It's thoroughly corrupted, these churches that all they can do is specialize on making better Adams, they are in a lost cause.

00:29:24.855 --> 00:29:27.921
Jesus didn't even try to do that.

00:29:27.921 --> 00:29:30.050
Jesus said you know what you want to get.

00:29:30.050 --> 00:29:31.796
You know you want to be a better Adam.

00:29:31.796 --> 00:29:32.897
There's no such thing.

00:29:32.897 --> 00:29:34.442
But you can be me.

00:29:34.442 --> 00:29:39.134
I have come that you may be me.

00:29:39.134 --> 00:29:45.743
I have become you so that you can become me, hallelujah.

00:29:46.565 --> 00:29:50.911
And this is the reason why Jesus could not possibly be born of Adam.

00:29:50.911 --> 00:29:53.075
He had to be born of God.

00:29:53.075 --> 00:30:06.785
Adam's sin would have made it impossible for Jesus to be a proper sacrifice and to be the first among many brethren and to be the firstborn of the new creation.

00:30:06.785 --> 00:30:07.807
It would have been impossible.

00:30:07.807 --> 00:30:22.304
So when he's not born of Adam but he's born of God, then he can be the seed bearer and he can fall to the ground and die and let that seed come up and bear much fruit.

00:30:22.304 --> 00:30:28.001
That's why the day of the resurrection is called the day of first fruits.

00:30:28.001 --> 00:30:33.479
It was called that before he was resurrected, but it happened to be the same day, because that's what it's all about.

00:30:33.479 --> 00:30:41.523
It's about the new creation, and this new creation is this seed that Jesus is, hallelujah.

00:30:41.523 --> 00:30:43.717
He couldn't be born of Adam.

00:30:43.717 --> 00:30:45.076
He had to be born of God.

00:30:46.191 --> 00:30:52.298
And, in Jesus's own words, the very fact of this new birth is gonna bring a division in a household.

00:30:52.298 --> 00:31:01.136
And when it brings a division in a household, you have to consider that this family is at enmity with you.

00:31:01.136 --> 00:31:02.902
Enmity with you.

00:31:02.902 --> 00:31:07.237
If you don't, you're gonna go through life being miserable.

00:31:07.237 --> 00:31:21.471
Hallelujah, praise God, hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.

00:31:21.471 --> 00:31:22.912
So the family of Adam is the family of the flesh.

00:31:22.912 --> 00:31:34.901
However, because you've been born again, because you have been born of God, the same way that Jesus said see, this is what religion won't teach you, because they consider such talk as blasphemous.

00:31:34.901 --> 00:31:38.443
But they're not new creation people.

00:31:38.443 --> 00:31:40.445
They really just give lip service to that.

00:31:40.445 --> 00:31:42.267
They think all that's going to happen in heaven.

00:31:42.267 --> 00:31:47.336
Amen, I'm not even going to go there.

00:31:48.137 --> 00:32:03.621
The fact of the matter is that the new creation that God made before he made anything, he made the seed.

00:32:03.621 --> 00:32:08.275
The seed has always been, because the seed is Christ, amen.

00:32:08.275 --> 00:32:22.255
And that seed, the seed, made everything that was seen so that the things that were seen could be a place for the seed that is not seen to be sown.

00:32:22.255 --> 00:32:24.670
Am I saying that correctly?

00:32:24.670 --> 00:32:37.001
In other words, he made your mother's womb as a place for you to be born in, amen For you to gestate in and for you to be delivered out of.

00:32:37.001 --> 00:32:56.840
Amen, god made the universe for the seed called Jesus, so that the seed called Jesus, when it came forth and bore much fruit, could fill the universe the way that Adam's sin did, only do it in much greater fashion.

00:32:56.840 --> 00:33:04.156
So this new creation, of which you are a part and have always been a part, amen, is a new family.

00:33:04.156 --> 00:33:12.672
It's a family not of the flesh but of the spirit, so it has different characteristics.

00:33:13.874 --> 00:33:29.082
Now, what most people don't understand, most people in the church don't understand, is because they don't understand the new creation and they think you just, you know, it's just something that happens and you know, and when you get saved, you just get part of the new creation.

00:33:29.082 --> 00:33:41.621
But if you never really know the kinds of things that I'm talking about, and if you don't know these things, then you can't step into it and you're going to be in struggles all your life with things that you really don't have to struggle about.

00:33:41.621 --> 00:33:45.559
There's an old expression that well, you just got to get the mind of the Lord.

00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:46.836
That's a good expression.

00:33:46.836 --> 00:33:52.813
You need to see things how God sees them, because if you'll see them the way God sees them.

00:33:52.813 --> 00:34:06.346
I remember God told me one time he said he said, son, he said you are worrying about your children so much that if you don't stop you're going to die and there's nothing I can do about it, because you're worried he's going to kill you.

00:34:06.346 --> 00:34:11.552
Praise God, I'm still alive, hallelujah.

00:34:12.333 --> 00:34:22.025
The modern church, the church in America, the non-spiritual church, does not know the things of the spirit, nor does it know the things of the new creation.

00:34:22.025 --> 00:34:26.871
It doesn't understand that because they are spiritually discerned.

00:34:26.871 --> 00:34:32.974
You try to don't don't try to explain this thing to rookies, don't try to explain this thing to people that aren't filled with the Holy Ghost.

00:34:32.974 --> 00:34:35.054
Don't even have this discussion.

00:34:35.054 --> 00:34:36.876
It's a total waste of time.

00:34:36.876 --> 00:34:48.981
You might as well just save yourself a lot of trouble and just walk outside, find yourself a very strong wall and go boom, boom, boom until you get some sense in your head.

00:34:48.981 --> 00:34:51.402
Amen, that this doesn't work.

00:34:51.402 --> 00:34:52.682
I can't tell you.

00:34:52.682 --> 00:34:54.603
You know you can't even talk.

00:34:54.603 --> 00:34:57.045
There are a lot of people that are filled with the Holy Ghost.

00:34:57.045 --> 00:34:58.485
You can't even talk to this one.

00:34:58.485 --> 00:35:00.987
You have to be led by the Spirit.

00:35:00.987 --> 00:35:04.170
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:35:04.972 --> 00:35:17.929
So Luke 8 and 20, luke 8 and 20 says this I'm going to talk about the family that is the family of faith and obedience.

00:35:17.929 --> 00:35:19.034
The family of faith and obedience.

00:35:19.034 --> 00:35:20.844
There's a family of flesh and blood.

00:35:20.844 --> 00:35:24.820
People say that blood is thicker than water and all that kind of stuff.

00:35:24.820 --> 00:35:34.811
There's a family of flesh and blood that belongs to Adam's creation and there's a family of faith and obedience that is not of that creation.

00:35:34.811 --> 00:35:36.552
You are unique.

00:35:36.552 --> 00:35:44.885
You are a unique species of being in that you participate in both creations.

00:35:44.885 --> 00:35:47.737
There's really not anything else that does this.

00:35:47.737 --> 00:35:49.101
Think about that?

00:35:49.889 --> 00:35:59.739
So in Luke 8, 20, it says and it was told him by some who said your mother and your brothers are standing outside desiring to see you.

00:35:59.739 --> 00:36:04.800
Like you know, you can just see this.

00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:06.333
Right here, james is going.

00:36:06.333 --> 00:36:07.898
Tell him we're out here.

00:36:07.898 --> 00:36:10.695
Mom wants to see him.

00:36:10.695 --> 00:36:11.818
She hasn't seen him.

00:36:11.818 --> 00:36:14.338
He doesn't come over to eat anymore.

00:36:14.338 --> 00:36:15.856
He doesn't give her flowers.

00:36:15.856 --> 00:36:18.014
She missed her birthday.

00:36:18.014 --> 00:36:19.278
Mom wants to see him.

00:36:19.278 --> 00:36:20.282
Tell him to come out here.

00:36:20.282 --> 00:36:24.500
You know how that is.

00:36:24.500 --> 00:36:28.521
You know all those tugs on your heartstrings.

00:36:28.521 --> 00:36:32.820
Don't look at me like you know what are you talking about.

00:36:32.820 --> 00:36:34.755
You know what I'm talking about.

00:36:35.489 --> 00:36:38.052
And he answered and said to them don't you like that?

00:36:38.052 --> 00:36:43.862
Jesus always has the precisely correct, concise answer.

00:36:43.862 --> 00:36:45.525
Aren't you glad for that?

00:36:45.525 --> 00:36:51.556
See, if he did that for people that didn't even believe in him, what do you think he's going to do for you?

00:36:51.556 --> 00:36:57.639
We expect I know, I know this that you expect to hear when you pray and you hear from God.

00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:00.230
You expect this really long discourse.

00:37:00.230 --> 00:37:06.338
You know like God's going to cover all the the dots and the tittles and the points and the sub points.

00:37:06.338 --> 00:37:15.420
And you know, put a PowerPoint thing up on the board and you know two or three words and just there you go.

00:37:15.420 --> 00:37:20.010
When you get done obeying that, then you can come back Praise God.

00:37:20.010 --> 00:37:29.862
Jesus answered and said to them my mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.

00:37:29.862 --> 00:37:33.391
Now, what does that make the family of God?

00:37:33.391 --> 00:37:50.784
It makes the family of God a spiritual unit of spirits who hear the word of God, which produces faith, and then they obey that faith by the grace that's given to them.

00:37:50.784 --> 00:37:54.155
That's what makes us unique.

00:37:54.155 --> 00:38:00.826
There is no one else on the planet that can do that, hallelujah.

00:38:01.510 --> 00:38:03.195
Now I'm going to give you the example.

00:38:03.195 --> 00:38:04.561
What I was going to talk to you about.

00:38:04.561 --> 00:38:06.233
I wondered when God was good.

00:38:06.233 --> 00:38:08.599
He brought it to my attention.

00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:09.581
I'm just.

00:38:09.581 --> 00:38:12.811
I got done preaching.

00:38:12.811 --> 00:38:24.438
We're just moving in the Holy Ghost, I'm praying for people moving here, calling one out, and all of a sudden I said I told the band, I said get the band back up here.

00:38:24.438 --> 00:38:27.012
I said play this song.

00:38:27.012 --> 00:38:28.878
And it's how Great Thou Art.

00:38:29.409 --> 00:38:31.193
But in Spanish it's different.

00:38:31.193 --> 00:38:41.141
It's just, you know, they have to use their words to fit the cadence of the song and so it's got kind of the same meaning but it's not quite the same.

00:38:41.141 --> 00:38:55.561
And all of a sudden, in the middle of that song you know, I'm trying to sing it in Spanish as best I can and I'm not making a big racket because you know I don't know all the words and they're doing a good job and all of that kind of stuff and the Lord tells me sing it in English.

00:38:55.561 --> 00:38:58.931
Okay, so I start singing it in English.

00:38:58.931 --> 00:39:09.585
I'm talking about grace, I'm talking about the power of God working in you to do those things that you cannot do without God.

00:39:09.585 --> 00:39:15.222
So I'm tell you right there, at that point it was in a key that I can't sing in way too high.

00:39:16.050 --> 00:39:17.012
Have you ever heard me sing?

00:39:17.012 --> 00:39:19.496
Do I sing like an Irish tenor?

00:39:19.496 --> 00:39:21.099
I do not.

00:39:21.099 --> 00:39:24.693
I sound like a moose, you know.

00:39:24.693 --> 00:39:27.117
You know, way down there, glory to God.

00:39:27.117 --> 00:39:36.393
He says sing in English power of God working in you to do those things you cannot do without God and God will not do without you.

00:39:36.393 --> 00:39:58.018
He wasn't gonna sing from heaven, but he was gonna sing through me and I jumped right into that key and just sang so profoundly out of my spirit that it stopped everybody else and they just listened and the power of God just fell Boom.

00:39:59.001 --> 00:40:02.994
People started to weep, started to cry, they started to worship God.

00:40:02.994 --> 00:40:05.724
They were singing in their own language, but it was.

00:40:05.724 --> 00:40:07.378
They didn't understand what I was saying.

00:40:07.378 --> 00:40:07.925
It made no difference that they understood what I was saying.

00:40:07.925 --> 00:40:08.173
They were singing in their own language, but it was.

00:40:08.173 --> 00:40:08.815
They didn't understand what I was saying.

00:40:08.815 --> 00:40:11.817
It made no difference that they understood what I was saying.

00:40:11.817 --> 00:40:16.434
They had some sort of a context with the words that they knew from their song Amen.

00:40:16.434 --> 00:40:17.777
But they did this.

00:40:17.777 --> 00:40:18.739
Amen.

00:40:18.900 --> 00:40:32.036
The power of God, the anointing of the Holy Ghost, the power of his might working through me, power of his might working through me, broke through something and I have to this day.

00:40:32.036 --> 00:40:34.105
That has never happened before and it never has happened since.

00:40:34.105 --> 00:40:37.213
I'm not saying it never will happen again, I'm just saying.

00:40:37.213 --> 00:40:42.052
It's happened one time and somebody said afterwards I didn't know you could sing like that.

00:40:42.052 --> 00:40:54.143
I said I didn't know I could sing like that, glory to God, I'd had CDs.

00:40:54.143 --> 00:40:58.130
And you know, hallelujah, praise God.

00:40:58.130 --> 00:40:59.956
We're talking about grace.

00:40:59.956 --> 00:41:03.262
We're talking about a family that operates.

00:41:06.530 --> 00:41:07.621
Now see, if you can't hear from God, you're disqualified.

00:41:07.621 --> 00:41:15.411
If you can't, if you can't immediately when he tells you to do something, do it, amen, then you're a hearer, not a doer.

00:41:15.411 --> 00:41:16.835
You're disqualified.

00:41:16.835 --> 00:41:22.932
And if you think you had anything to do about it, then you're denying grace and you're disqualified.

00:41:22.932 --> 00:41:33.855
Paul said I'm going to'm gonna, I'm gonna beat my body so that when I finish this race I will not be disqualified.

00:41:33.855 --> 00:41:35.257
Hallelujah.

00:41:35.358 --> 00:41:37.121
Listen to what the Holy Ghost is saying.

00:41:37.121 --> 00:41:45.579
If you think, if you think that you get in him just by being a good little Christian boy or girl, you got another thing coming.

00:41:45.579 --> 00:42:00.045
It is by hearing the word of God, believing the word of God and doing the word of God by grace, hallelujah, are you hearing it?

00:42:00.045 --> 00:42:05.318
Praise God, hallelujah, glory to God.

00:42:05.318 --> 00:42:06.278
You want to be in him.

00:42:06.278 --> 00:42:08.521
That's how you get in him.

00:42:08.521 --> 00:42:20.277
You are in him because you hear, you believe and you do In that order.

00:42:20.918 --> 00:42:22.880
We hear the word of God.

00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:36.039
It produces faith, which we believe, and then we acquire grace to do, and that's what makes the family of God the family of God, nothing else, jesus said.

00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:39.992
My family are those that hear the word of God and do it.

00:42:39.992 --> 00:42:58.231
Simple as that has nothing to do with the bloodline of Adam, has nothing to do with the flesh, has nothing to do with carnality, has nothing to do with the bloodline of Adam, has nothing to do with the flesh, has nothing to do with carnality, has nothing to do with emotions, has nothing to do with all this stuff that ties you up in knots and makes you worry.

00:42:58.231 --> 00:42:59.313
Has nothing to do with that.

00:42:59.313 --> 00:43:07.945
The family of God has to do with hearing the word of God, believing what you just heard and then doing it.

00:43:07.945 --> 00:43:25.038
I've told you this story so many times, but it is still the most impressive thing about hearing God speak and then doing something that was clearly impossible.

00:43:25.057 --> 00:43:30.347
And he told me in 1998 to get off the radio and start a Christian sermon jukebox.

00:43:30.347 --> 00:43:32.836
I said that's good.

00:43:32.836 --> 00:43:35.418
That's about yay and amen, hallelujah.

00:43:35.418 --> 00:43:37.016
I didn't know what that was.

00:43:37.016 --> 00:43:38.775
What does that mean?

00:43:38.775 --> 00:43:46.902
Well, I've come to find out that hardly anybody else knew what that meant at that time and if you have any idea, some of you are so young you probably didn't even have a cell phone by that time.

00:43:46.902 --> 00:43:49.974
And if and if you have any idea, some of you are so young you probably didn't even have a cell phone by that time.

00:43:49.974 --> 00:43:55.114
If you would, if you would remember what it was, what bandwidth was like back there.

00:43:55.114 --> 00:43:57.740
All that kind of stuff was so painfully slow.

00:43:57.740 --> 00:44:02.782
I mean, you could have harvested a corn crop by the time you got one of those things downloaded.

00:44:02.782 --> 00:44:05.431
It was.

00:44:05.431 --> 00:44:08.416
It was just so painful, amen.

00:44:08.416 --> 00:44:10.079
And now we've got.

00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:17.639
We've got hundreds, if not thousands, of messages up on on the internet going all over the world amen.

00:44:18.260 --> 00:44:25.902
Just because he told me what to do, I immediately believed him and I immediately started working toward doing it.

00:44:25.902 --> 00:44:29.110
And I've been working toward doing that ever since 1998.

00:44:29.110 --> 00:44:33.260
It just passed over what 25 years.

00:44:33.260 --> 00:44:36.217
We've been through several iterations.

00:44:36.217 --> 00:44:39.099
We just entered into another one two years ago.

00:44:39.099 --> 00:44:40.931
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

00:44:40.931 --> 00:44:42.295
You've got to believe him.

00:44:42.295 --> 00:44:47.255
You've got to hear him, because if you don't hear him, you'll just be doing what you think.

00:44:47.255 --> 00:44:51.371
Trust me.

00:44:51.371 --> 00:44:54.922
You know, I thought I was doing great guns on the radio.

00:44:54.922 --> 00:45:05.175
People told me all the time you got one of the best produced shows on our station and I'm in the garage with a pair of scissors and scotch tape doing this stuff.

00:45:05.175 --> 00:45:11.922
You know, Hallelujah, I thought it was great, the Lord thought it was great.

00:45:11.922 --> 00:45:13.244
He was the one that told me to do it.

00:45:13.244 --> 00:45:22.554
And then he tells me to quit, but he hadn't told me to quit this one, because that message was going across the Metroplex.

00:45:22.554 --> 00:45:24.117
This message is going across the world, praise God.

00:45:24.117 --> 00:45:27.784
And it's a whole lot better message than I was preaching back then.

00:45:27.784 --> 00:45:30.213
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

00:45:31.574 --> 00:45:43.293
I'm here to tell you today that the family that you belong to is not the family that Adam gave you, but it is the family of faith and obedience and grace.

00:45:43.293 --> 00:45:47.898
Faith, obedience and grace and grace.

00:45:47.898 --> 00:45:48.438
Faith, obedience and grace.

00:45:48.438 --> 00:46:12.936
If you just have hearing but not doing, james says you're a hearer and not a doer and you don't have access to the perfect law of liberty, and the perfect law of liberty is what brings grace in to complete it.

00:46:12.936 --> 00:46:13.838
Oh, hallelujah, praise the Lord.

00:46:13.858 --> 00:46:16.925
Now, this family that is of obedience and faith and grace walks not after the flesh but after the spirit.

00:46:16.925 --> 00:46:18.387
So you got a problem in your family.

00:46:18.387 --> 00:46:22.175
Don't all, don't y'all shout me down when I'm preaching.

00:46:22.175 --> 00:46:26.141
Good, you got a family, got a problem in your family.

00:46:26.141 --> 00:46:28.545
It is not your problem to solve.

00:46:28.545 --> 00:46:31.597
I'm going to start right there.

00:46:31.597 --> 00:46:39.101
It is not your problem to solve, because I guarantee you that you do not have the answer.

00:46:39.101 --> 00:46:47.717
I don't care how many times you pray, I don't care how much you fast, I don't care until you hear from God what to do.

00:46:47.717 --> 00:46:49.539
And then do it.

00:46:49.539 --> 00:46:52.224
So I got one.

00:46:52.224 --> 00:46:55.655
You know how kids will come back.

00:46:55.655 --> 00:47:00.032
You know, and you boot them out, and they come back and boot them out and come.

00:47:00.032 --> 00:47:01.619
You know how that works.

00:47:01.619 --> 00:47:04.771
Don't look at me like you don't know what I'm talking about.

00:47:04.771 --> 00:47:07.094
You know exactly what I'm talking about.

00:47:07.094 --> 00:47:09.239
Like bad pennies, they just keep coming back.

00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:11.463
Glory to God.

00:47:11.463 --> 00:47:13.737
I must be pounding on this podium.

00:47:13.737 --> 00:47:15.990
I broke a nail here, anyway.

00:47:15.990 --> 00:47:21.083
So I had one that I escorted out the door.

00:47:22.771 --> 00:47:25.795
She goes off to Florida A few weeks months later.

00:47:25.795 --> 00:47:27.063
I don't know how long it was, dad, yeah, I think it.

00:47:27.063 --> 00:47:27.505
Months later.

00:47:27.505 --> 00:47:32.239
I don't know how long it was, dad, yeah, I think it'd be best if I came home right now.

00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:34.773
I said I'll get back to you on that.

00:47:34.773 --> 00:47:38.682
That's what I told her.

00:47:38.682 --> 00:47:41.257
I said I'll get back to you.

00:47:41.257 --> 00:47:43.458
Well, she knew what I was going to do, amen.

00:47:43.458 --> 00:47:51.590
So I checked with the one that I'm in, see, because I'm not, I'm not allowed.

00:47:51.650 --> 00:47:55.097
Everybody say I'm not allowed to make my own decision.

00:47:55.097 --> 00:48:06.137
The place that I live in, you're not allowed to do that, says that right at the door, not my will, but thy will be done, amen.

00:48:06.137 --> 00:48:07.742
So I don't get to make my own decisions.

00:48:07.742 --> 00:48:11.579
You know what else gets parked at the door, your will.

00:48:11.579 --> 00:48:16.876
So anybody tells you you know, everybody wants to have a free will discussion Say I gave mine up.

00:48:16.876 --> 00:48:19.487
I don't know about you, but I just gave mine up.

00:48:19.487 --> 00:48:21.974
Hallelujah, I don't have anything to say about it.

00:48:21.974 --> 00:48:24.842
Praise the Lord, hallelujah.

00:48:24.842 --> 00:48:48.639
So anyway, the Lord says tell her that she will be more successful in what she wants to walk out If she learns how to stand on her own two feet, how she can get to work every morning on time, pay her bills on time, stay out of you know, pay her bills on time, stay out of doing this and doing this.

00:48:48.639 --> 00:49:00.090
And said you will learn how to walk out the steps of your life if you stand on your own feet and have to do it, rather than come under my covering.

00:49:00.090 --> 00:49:02.568
And I give her an excuse all the time.

00:49:03.273 --> 00:49:08.059
Now, if you think that was easy for dad born of Adam, it was not easy for dad born of Adam.

00:49:08.059 --> 00:49:16.061
It was not easy for dad born of Adam, but it was necessary for the man of God who is born of God.

00:49:16.061 --> 00:49:19.052
I had to be that for her.

00:49:19.052 --> 00:49:25.195
I am sure that if she was here today she would tell you that was probably the best thing that ever happened to her.

00:49:25.195 --> 00:49:29.780
She went through some bad years but she came out the other side.

00:49:30.590 --> 00:49:31.594
She knows how to get up.

00:49:31.594 --> 00:49:33.396
She knows how to fend for herself.

00:49:33.396 --> 00:49:43.804
I mean, you may think you know that girl could take her trailer apart and put it back together again.

00:49:43.804 --> 00:49:46.719
She is good.

00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:50.117
She says I'm not going to call anybody to do anything.

00:49:50.117 --> 00:49:51.282
I can't learn how to do.

00:49:51.282 --> 00:49:56.079
So she sits there and watches YouTube videos until she figures it out Over.

00:49:56.079 --> 00:49:57.903
They go Hallelujah.

00:49:57.903 --> 00:50:00.518
She probably wouldn't have done that if she'd come live here.

00:50:01.429 --> 00:50:07.813
Anyway, I'm just telling you I didn't just do that with one, and none of them are easy.

00:50:07.813 --> 00:50:20.998
But if you want to be free to serve him and obey him, so that you can hear from him and obey and work in grace, you better learn how to cut the umbilical cord with Adam.

00:50:20.998 --> 00:50:22.199
They'll make it.

00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:24.925
They'll make it, hallelujah.

00:50:24.925 --> 00:50:26.793
We got to hear the word of God.

00:50:26.793 --> 00:50:31.452
We got to obey it by faith and not by observation.

00:50:31.492 --> 00:50:40.114
You know how many people have a Bible at home and they read that Bible and they obey what's written in the pages.

00:50:40.114 --> 00:50:53.251
Never having heard from God how to obey, they decide for themselves how to obey what is spiritual revelation.

00:50:53.251 --> 00:51:04.498
They decide in the flesh how to obey what is spiritual revelation, and that's why they have to wear those stupid bracelets and say what would Jesus do?

00:51:04.498 --> 00:51:05.963
Because they have to.

00:51:05.963 --> 00:51:10.114
They're all the time wondering I wonder what jesus would do on this one.

00:51:10.114 --> 00:51:30.164
Well, you don't have to wonder that if jesus lives in you and you live in him, he, just he, just you know, and you don't even have to ask when are you gonna get, when are you gonna get the spiritual maturity that you don't have to ask Amen, you can just be in it and know.

00:51:32.813 --> 00:51:35.240
You think where is he anyway?

00:51:35.240 --> 00:51:41.661
I'm convinced whenever I see people, oh, he's not even anywhere close to being in them.

00:51:41.661 --> 00:51:52.032
If you have a revelation that he is in you and you are in him, you can dispense with all that foolishness.

00:51:52.032 --> 00:51:53.876
You don't have to hide behind.

00:51:53.876 --> 00:51:56.222
Well, I think god's telling me right now.

00:51:56.222 --> 00:51:57.371
You don't have to hide that.

00:51:57.371 --> 00:52:01.103
Just say what he's saying and don't even let people know.

00:52:01.344 --> 00:52:03.231
Well, I think god's speaking to you.

00:52:03.231 --> 00:52:06.860
God's speaking to you, brother, and this is what he's saying right now.

00:52:06.860 --> 00:52:08.130
You want to hear it?

00:52:08.130 --> 00:52:09.833
Glory to God.

00:52:09.833 --> 00:52:12.039
You know you don't have to.

00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:16.568
I just I know God's going to.

00:52:16.568 --> 00:52:18.831
God just wants to heal you right now.

00:52:18.831 --> 00:52:20.994
Oh, get off of it.

00:52:20.994 --> 00:52:22.436
Will you Just get?

00:52:22.436 --> 00:52:27.505
Can you ever in your wildest imaginations see Jesus doing that?

00:52:27.505 --> 00:52:30.197
Then he's not doing it in you.

00:52:30.197 --> 00:52:36.438
Glory to God, just leave it or just do it generic.

00:52:36.438 --> 00:52:39.018
Be healed and see if anybody else is within your shot.

00:52:39.018 --> 00:52:41.237
It needs to get set free.

00:52:41.237 --> 00:52:59.483
Hey, you haven't started to live until you can throw off the mindless formalism that religion teaches you and just walk through this life to the best of your ability, just doing what he does.

00:52:59.483 --> 00:53:01.956
I have a real simple test.

00:53:01.956 --> 00:53:08.043
I said if I can see Jesus doing it or I can see Paul doing it, I can do that.

00:53:08.043 --> 00:53:14.663
If I can't possibly imagine them doing this, amen, then I need to leave it alone.

00:53:14.663 --> 00:53:17.157
Now, that's just what I live.

00:53:17.157 --> 00:53:19.597
Paul I know and Jesus I know.

00:53:19.597 --> 00:53:20.659
But who are you?

00:53:20.659 --> 00:53:23.838
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:53:25.271 --> 00:53:42.438
So the people that just read the Bible and observe it by their own way of thinking is how you get all these denominations, how you get all this, this, this clothesline religion stuff, how you get all this, this fractured pieces of the body?

00:53:42.438 --> 00:53:59.594
On one minor observation or definition of something they don't know, the veil that 2 Corinthians 3 talks about, that's over their eyes, is still there, because it can only be removed where In Christ.

00:53:59.594 --> 00:54:00.820
Hallelujah.

00:54:00.820 --> 00:54:07.219
So there's a veil of the law that applies to the gospel as well as to the Old Testament.

00:54:07.219 --> 00:54:10.911
Hallelujah, here's something.

00:54:10.911 --> 00:54:15.362
You can look at one of your neighbors and say this is how I feel about you.

00:54:16.490 --> 00:54:23.722
First, john, chapter five, verse one, says those, they love, those born of God.

00:54:23.722 --> 00:54:32.179
If you are born of God, then you love those who are born of God and you regard them as your real family.

00:54:32.179 --> 00:54:40.016
And the Bible says in that same chapter that if you don't, then you're not born of God.

00:54:40.016 --> 00:54:41.733
It's as simple as that.

00:54:41.733 --> 00:54:48.177
If you're not, if you don't love them, then you're not born of God.

00:54:48.177 --> 00:54:49.635
You're just paying lip service.

00:54:49.635 --> 00:54:51.016
You're just going to church.

00:54:51.016 --> 00:54:53.813
So you got to love them even when you're not in church.

00:54:53.813 --> 00:54:57.181
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:54:57.181 --> 00:55:04.637
Okay, now I'm going to, now I'm I really do have to get to this next point.

00:55:05.358 --> 00:55:14.514
The body of Christ is a spiritual dwelling or a spiritual place that is formed by God.

00:55:14.514 --> 00:55:27.402
Now the Bible says in 1 Corinthians, chapter 12, verse 18, that God forms this body and assembles it exactly as he pleases.

00:55:27.402 --> 00:55:29.507
Now, what does that mean?

00:55:29.507 --> 00:55:36.791
That means that where you go to church or where you are assembled into a body is how I like to say it.

00:55:36.791 --> 00:55:41.139
Going to church is what all these people do that go to box churches.

00:55:41.139 --> 00:55:53.579
You have to be in him and a willing participant in transformation, to be one of those people that are assembled into the body where God wants you to be.

00:55:53.579 --> 00:55:55.061
Amen.

00:55:55.061 --> 00:55:59.512
Now listen, you are all here today because God assembled you.

00:55:59.512 --> 00:56:02.721
He didn't assemble you at seven o'clock this morning.

00:56:02.721 --> 00:56:06.240
He assembled you here before the foundation of the world.

00:56:06.240 --> 00:56:07.385
There are.

00:56:07.385 --> 00:56:09.596
You can see the empty seats Amen.

00:56:09.596 --> 00:56:18.853
If all the people that were supposed to be here should be here, we wouldn't have enough room in this house to be out in the parking lot in a hundred degree weather and God would send a supernatural breeze.

00:56:18.853 --> 00:56:20.155
So just deal with that.

00:56:20.155 --> 00:56:22.159
Hallelujah.

00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:27.411
He assembles the body and each member has an assigned position.

00:56:27.411 --> 00:56:30.534
Everybody say assigned position, assigned position.

00:56:30.534 --> 00:56:35.498
Since most of you have not been in the military, I'm going to tell you what an assigned position is.

00:56:35.498 --> 00:56:57.032
It's your post of duty and if you fall asleep at that post, if you desert that post, if you don't show up to that post, if you do anything at that post other than what you're ordered to do, you are subject to court-martial.

00:56:57.032 --> 00:56:58.695
If it's a serious enough dereliction of duty, you can be shot.

00:56:58.755 --> 00:57:01.922
Most people treat their going to church just like you would.

00:57:01.922 --> 00:57:03.791
You know well, I don't like Walmart.

00:57:03.791 --> 00:57:04.414
I'm going to go to HEB.

00:57:04.414 --> 00:57:04.856
I don't like HEB.

00:57:04.856 --> 00:57:05.579
I'm going to go to Walmart.

00:57:05.579 --> 00:57:06.121
I don't like Walmart.

00:57:06.121 --> 00:57:06.623
I'm going to go to HEB.

00:57:06.623 --> 00:57:07.505
I don't like HEB, I'm going to go to Walmart.

00:57:07.505 --> 00:57:08.469
I don't like either one of them.

00:57:08.469 --> 00:57:15.398
I'm going to go to whatever Brookshire's, or you know, or stop and go, or you know, I'm going to grow my own food.

00:57:15.398 --> 00:57:19.619
You know I'm not.

00:57:19.619 --> 00:57:22.838
You know, there there's, there's going to come, a worldwide shortage of food.

00:57:22.838 --> 00:57:28.016
If you think you're going to get through that worldwide shortage of food by storing up MREs, you're an idiot.

00:57:28.016 --> 00:57:37.177
If you think you're going to get through the food shortage by raising a garden, you have never tried to raise one Amen.

00:57:37.177 --> 00:57:45.742
If you think you're going to do all those things you know and you've never started doing them before, you're not going to learn that at your age.

00:57:46.771 --> 00:57:55.688
I would suggest that you learn to trust God, because my Bible tells me that in the days of famine, goshen still ate.

00:57:55.688 --> 00:57:59.000
In the days of darkness, goshen still had light.

00:57:59.000 --> 00:58:01.509
In the days of the locusts they did not.

00:58:01.509 --> 00:58:09.842
If you don't think he can protect you, I have seen it hail all around this house and not one piece of hail has hit it.

00:58:09.842 --> 00:58:15.938
I have seen tornadoes literally break apart and go like this around where I was standing.

00:58:15.938 --> 00:58:23.536
I would suggest you learn to trust God, because the worst thing that can happen is we're just out of here.

00:58:23.536 --> 00:58:26.583
Glory to God, hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:58:29.311 --> 00:58:30.375
People are really bent.

00:58:30.375 --> 00:58:41.184
I've got bunches of them in my Adam family and they just think that they're going to transcend all this and get to the other side of it.

00:58:41.184 --> 00:58:45.213
And I said you probably don't want to be there, so what's going to be on the other side of that?

00:58:45.213 --> 00:58:46.074
You don't have.

00:58:46.074 --> 00:58:48.079
You know, you're not prepared to deal with that.

00:58:48.079 --> 00:58:52.856
I got one person my son did two tours of Iraq.

00:58:52.856 --> 00:58:56.478
He, if it comes, when it comes down to anything serious like that, he can deal with it.

00:58:56.478 --> 00:58:59.277
He told me once his dad, it's a, it's a.

00:58:59.277 --> 00:59:06.396
It's a really strange feeling to walk into anywhere, to anywhere and know I can clear the room.

00:59:06.396 --> 00:59:10.521
He had so many degrees of this and that and the other.

00:59:10.521 --> 00:59:14.666
I mean, you know, I used to until he went into the Marines.

00:59:14.666 --> 00:59:18.193
I could whip him all the time in wrestling.

00:59:18.193 --> 00:59:19.295
We had one one.

00:59:19.295 --> 00:59:27.711
I said one wrestling match after he came back from boot camp I thought I was going to die.

00:59:28.711 --> 00:59:30.572
Each person has an assigned position.

00:59:30.572 --> 00:59:37.956
God assembles this body exactly as he sees fit, not as we choose.

00:59:37.956 --> 00:59:39.677
Now the modern church.

00:59:39.677 --> 00:59:42.639
I'm not picking on any denomination, they're all like this.

00:59:42.639 --> 00:59:45.740
The modern church is like a social club.

00:59:45.740 --> 00:59:49.103
You just come and go when and where.

00:59:49.103 --> 00:59:50.523
How much you know they have church.

00:59:50.523 --> 00:59:59.447
You know Saturday nights, monday nights, tuesday nights, wednesday, thursday, whenever you know we're going to do a survey, we're going to serve, we're going to.

00:59:59.447 --> 01:00:04.994
This is part of knowing your demographic.

01:00:04.994 --> 01:00:10.034
You know we're going to do a survey and get all the people when they really want to come to church, because really that's all it's about is coming to church.

01:00:10.755 --> 01:00:14.891
Nobody has heard from God as to whether they should be there or not be there.

01:00:14.891 --> 01:00:19.644
From God's point of view, almost all of the body is out of joint.

01:00:19.644 --> 01:00:31.818
Now, that's a hard thing to say, but I'm telling you there's almost nobody in a church that is there because God told them to go there, because I guarantee you he wouldn't have done that.

01:00:31.818 --> 01:00:38.744
He'd have sent them someplace else where they could heard the reality of the gospel.

01:00:38.744 --> 01:00:45.483
But you can tell that nobody's paying attention to the Lord because they're not in those houses.

01:00:45.483 --> 01:00:48.751
They're in these houses that are trying to build better Adams.

01:00:48.751 --> 01:00:56.347
Nobody wants to hear about dying to Adam and living to Christ.

01:00:56.347 --> 01:00:58.733
Nobody wants to hear that.

01:00:58.733 --> 01:01:00.757
Nobody wants to be serious about that.

01:01:00.757 --> 01:01:03.523
But that's how God assembles his house.

01:01:03.523 --> 01:01:07.498
See, he's not going to assemble his house with warmed up atoms.

01:01:07.498 --> 01:01:16.367
He is going to assemble his house with transformed Christ Jesus.

01:01:16.367 --> 01:01:20.273
Has anybody read the scripture that Jesus is the chief cornerstone?

01:01:20.273 --> 01:01:31.911
Now, why do you think he would be using inferior products to build the walls of the house once he has set a cornerstone with Christ?

01:01:31.911 --> 01:01:35.257
The answer to that question is easy he won't.

01:01:36.039 --> 01:01:43.378
We're not free moral agents to decide how we're going to do this, or you get disqualified.

01:01:43.378 --> 01:01:46.637
See, if you've ever wondered what it is, how it is, that you get disqualified.

01:01:46.637 --> 01:01:47.498
I'm telling you how you get disqualified.

01:01:47.498 --> 01:01:49.885
See, if you've ever wondered what it is, how it is that you get disqualified, I'm telling you how you get disqualified.

01:01:49.885 --> 01:02:03.431
You get disqualified by not hearing, not doing, not believing and, most importantly, by deciding how you fit into the body of Christ and then making your own decisions.

01:02:03.431 --> 01:02:16.581
Well, you know, I got a job offer in Sheboygan, michigan, and I looked it up on the internet and we just felt a warming that this was the right place.

01:02:16.581 --> 01:02:22.554
We did a sample of their children's ministry and their music program is off the scale.

01:02:22.554 --> 01:02:25.478
It was so annoying.

01:02:26.621 --> 01:02:34.318
Well, my first question was did God tell you to come to this city that you're in already, and did you ask him to speak to you?

01:02:34.318 --> 01:02:39.061
Not by circumstances, not by a promotion of a job.

01:02:39.061 --> 01:02:41.818
See, a promotion of a job is a circumstance.

01:02:41.818 --> 01:02:44.257
God does not move in circumstances.

01:02:44.257 --> 01:03:00.219
Now, the Baptist will fight you tooth and nail about that all day, but I will continue to say that the God of circumstances is a Greek God called the God of faith, and it wasn't even a significant God, it was about a third-level imp down on the list.

01:03:00.219 --> 01:03:02.896
I wish I could preach.

01:03:05.693 --> 01:03:07.400
You don't get to choose how you're going to serve.

01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:09.574
See somebody, you know.

01:03:09.574 --> 01:03:11.494
If you think, let me tell you something about it.

01:03:11.494 --> 01:03:31.644
If you think that heaven is just going to be this non-ending stroll down Glory Avenue, you know, and getting gold dust in your toenails all the time, you never have to get a pedicure because you're just going to have real gold on your toenails all the time because you're walking down the streets of gold.

01:03:31.644 --> 01:03:33.108
You need a little pedicure.

01:03:33.108 --> 01:03:40.273
You just go, you know, get the diamonds off the walls and you know you really think that that's how it is going to be.

01:03:40.273 --> 01:03:47.740
It is going to be.

01:03:47.740 --> 01:03:49.704
Then that is a heaven where all you get to do is what you want to do all the time.

01:03:49.704 --> 01:03:55.574
That is not, by any stretch of the imagination, how you're going to spend eternity.

01:03:55.574 --> 01:04:01.769
You will spend eternity doing what he wants all the time.

01:04:01.769 --> 01:04:04.855
End of discussion.

01:04:06.041 --> 01:04:17.447
If you think it's going to be something else, you're believing what somebody's told you and not what the word of God says, and you have had precious little revelation about what all this is about.

01:04:17.447 --> 01:04:19.786
But I'm telling you, I'm going to help you.

01:04:19.786 --> 01:04:21.646
Today, everybody say I need some help.

01:04:21.646 --> 01:04:23.585
I'm going to help you today.

01:04:23.585 --> 01:04:24.452
It's all about seed.

01:04:24.452 --> 01:04:28.349
It's all about seed, it is all about seed.

01:04:28.349 --> 01:04:31.610
And if it's all about seed, it's all about new creation.

01:04:31.610 --> 01:04:41.364
And if it's all about new creation, then we better redefine how we're going to see it, because we need to see it from God's point of view and not from our point of view, because we don't have a clue.

01:04:41.364 --> 01:04:44.193
Hallelujah.

01:04:44.193 --> 01:04:50.947
So I'm going to quit here in about a little while.

01:04:50.947 --> 01:04:56.619
I wasn't going to pull that one out, but anyway, I hear a lot of this.

01:04:56.619 --> 01:05:08.396
Well, you know, it's God, family and church and somebody will stick someplace else between God and our family and church.

01:05:08.396 --> 01:05:13.487
You know some work, you know, because, well, I can't support the family without work.

01:05:13.487 --> 01:05:14.800
You know, and all that I'm going.

01:05:14.800 --> 01:05:17.108
Okay, so I'm going to give you a little lesson.

01:05:17.108 --> 01:05:18.150
You want a lesson?

01:05:18.150 --> 01:05:19.465
This won't take long.

01:05:20.260 --> 01:05:22.108
The discernment of the body.

01:05:22.108 --> 01:05:24.929
We are told to discern the body.

01:05:24.929 --> 01:05:31.456
In the breaking of the bread, in communion, we are taught to discern the body of Christ.

01:05:31.456 --> 01:05:39.661
If we don't discern the body of Christ, many of us are sick and others are dying because we don't discern the body of Christ.

01:05:39.661 --> 01:05:40.905
Amen.

01:05:40.905 --> 01:05:48.023
Now, that has an application to the sacrament, but it also has a general application in all.

01:05:48.023 --> 01:05:53.981
When we are taught to discern the body of Christ, we have to discern what is and what is not.

01:05:53.981 --> 01:05:55.643
Okay.

01:05:56.523 --> 01:05:59.987
The body of Christ, by definition, is the body of God.

01:05:59.987 --> 01:06:06.494
The body of God because Father, son and Holy Ghost are one.

01:06:06.494 --> 01:06:18.244
We talk like there's three gods, even though we might believe that there is one God and we come up with this weird way of describing it.

01:06:18.244 --> 01:06:19.847
But we talk like there's three gods.

01:06:19.847 --> 01:06:23.536
We talk like Jesus is off doing one thing, the Holy Ghost is off doing another thing.

01:06:23.536 --> 01:06:23.824
You know and everything.

01:06:23.824 --> 01:06:24.853
If there's a gods, we talk like Jesus is off doing one thing, the Holy Ghost is off doing another thing.

01:06:24.853 --> 01:06:28.128
You know, if there's a body of Christ, there's a body God.

01:06:28.128 --> 01:06:31.889
The God, the father, is not living in one place and the Holy Ghost living in.

01:06:31.889 --> 01:06:33.567
They are one God.

01:06:33.567 --> 01:06:35.786
They are one.

01:06:35.786 --> 01:06:44.931
Even if they focus their attention in different places, they are still one because they can't possibly be divided.

01:06:44.931 --> 01:06:55.806
So the body and the body of Christ I used to preach this all the time the body of Christ cannot be separated from Christ, the head.

01:06:56.586 --> 01:06:58.291
I used to preach this message.

01:06:58.291 --> 01:07:01.463
The body of Christ is not decapitated, amen.

01:07:01.463 --> 01:07:04.030
The head is not in heaven, the body's not down here.

01:07:04.030 --> 01:07:05.780
They are one body.

01:07:05.780 --> 01:07:07.664
Are we good, we got this so far.

01:07:07.664 --> 01:07:13.295
Now the church is the assembly of the called out ones.

01:07:13.295 --> 01:07:15.463
Now, if you're called, what happens?

01:07:15.463 --> 01:07:21.182
You're foreknown, you're predestined, you're justified, you're glorified.

01:07:21.182 --> 01:07:28.608
If you've got time, there's about a 30 or 40 week series on that.

01:07:28.608 --> 01:07:33.701
Hallelujah, if you want to know where it's at, seek and you will find.

01:07:34.402 --> 01:07:37.307
Praise God, church isn't a building.

01:07:37.307 --> 01:07:39.192
Church is not an organization.

01:07:39.192 --> 01:07:40.641
It's not a social club.

01:07:40.641 --> 01:07:41.043
It's not a group.

01:07:41.043 --> 01:07:41.806
It's not a group.

01:07:41.806 --> 01:07:46.041
It's not a people who you know, who happen to believe one thing over another thing.

01:07:46.041 --> 01:07:47.143
That is not the church.

01:07:47.143 --> 01:07:50.570
The church is not that.

01:07:50.570 --> 01:08:01.108
The church was not that for 300 years when it began to be a building, a group, a set of believers.

01:08:01.108 --> 01:08:07.536
It ended up in strife, division, murder, mayhem and all sorts of things.

01:08:07.536 --> 01:08:09.623
Was not that originally?

01:08:09.623 --> 01:08:11.447
Amen, it's not that.

01:08:12.010 --> 01:08:14.302
When you say I'm going to church, what does that mean?

01:08:14.302 --> 01:08:16.010
You're going to a building.

01:08:16.010 --> 01:08:18.377
If I'm going to church, what am I doing?

01:08:18.377 --> 01:08:22.628
I'm going to 45 minutes of utter tedium.

01:08:22.628 --> 01:08:26.805
Nobody gets healed, nobody gets ministered to.

01:08:26.805 --> 01:08:29.787
Are there any unspoken requests?

01:08:29.787 --> 01:08:30.161
What are we?

01:08:30.161 --> 01:08:30.984
A bunch of cowards?

01:08:30.984 --> 01:08:38.903
We can't even bring it out what we're believing God for that's you know.

01:08:38.903 --> 01:08:40.509
Somebody ought to stand up.

01:08:40.509 --> 01:08:42.667
They need to not let me in these places.

01:08:42.667 --> 01:08:43.925
Somebody needs to stand up.

01:08:43.925 --> 01:08:48.130
You remember that story about Paul and the unknown God.

01:08:48.130 --> 01:08:50.306
I'm going to take the unknown request right now.

01:08:50.346 --> 01:09:06.930
Glory to God, oh hallelujah, praise God, to say, if there's a priority order, you know, like God, family, church.

01:09:06.930 --> 01:09:15.251
To say that is to say that the body of God and his in him believers are divided.

01:09:15.251 --> 01:09:17.454
That's impossible.

01:09:17.454 --> 01:09:31.287
If we say, on the other hand, that God and his body is undivided, then by definition we have to say that nothing is more important than God and his body.

01:09:31.287 --> 01:09:36.275
Now, where is your new in him family?

01:09:36.275 --> 01:09:38.221
It's in the body.

01:09:38.221 --> 01:09:40.145
It can't be divided.

01:09:40.145 --> 01:09:56.748
So you have to see that God and his body are one thing, and whatever's down here the body of Adam, the family of Adam, work, school, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah can't possibly compete with this.

01:09:56.748 --> 01:10:00.990
And if it does compete with this, by definition it is idolatry.

01:10:00.990 --> 01:10:04.498
And does that even mean the work of the ministry?

01:10:04.498 --> 01:10:09.886
If it's work and not grace, let me show you, let me respond to that.

01:10:11.382 --> 01:10:26.431
We had a building at one time and the person that was doing children's ministry quit doing it and they said you got to find somebody to do the children's ministry.

01:10:26.431 --> 01:10:28.222
We have some volunteers.

01:10:28.222 --> 01:10:29.787
I said I'm not looking for volunteers.

01:10:29.787 --> 01:10:37.195
I said what I said I'm not working for volunteers, I'm looking for God to send the right person.

01:10:37.195 --> 01:10:47.770
If we don't get the right person, it'll do more harm than good and we'll be making the same decision in five, six months time because they'll get worn out, they'll get tired of being out of the service.

01:10:47.770 --> 01:10:49.804
You know, blah, blah, blah, blah blah.

01:10:49.804 --> 01:10:57.881
I said when God sends me the right person, he'll tell me this is the right person and then we'll appoint that person into that position and we'll go on.

01:10:57.881 --> 01:10:58.443
You know what?

01:10:58.443 --> 01:11:00.268
That person never showed up.

01:11:00.268 --> 01:11:04.337
Do you know how big of a youth ministry we ended up with?

01:11:04.337 --> 01:11:05.180
Zero.

01:11:06.483 --> 01:11:19.506
We had no youth ministry because somebody didn't obey God, not because we were failing and not because we just didn't grab somebody off of the pew and said you are one, go do it.

01:11:19.506 --> 01:11:23.570
You know that's not how you do the work of the ministry.

01:11:23.570 --> 01:11:28.731
The work of the ministry is done under the direction of the head.

01:11:28.731 --> 01:11:32.088
The head says do this and you do it.

01:11:32.088 --> 01:11:37.161
Amen, and by grace, you get it done If you try to, if you listen.

01:11:37.161 --> 01:11:39.402
This boy has cleaned out more urinals.

01:11:39.402 --> 01:11:50.170
Listen, this boy has cleaned out more urinals, more toilets mopped, more bathroom floors vacuumed, more church houses.

01:11:50.610 --> 01:11:53.613
I started working in the church when I was 12 years old.

01:11:53.613 --> 01:11:57.376
Hallelujah, I've done it all, hallelujah.

01:11:57.376 --> 01:12:08.543
And I'm going to tell you this it works a whole lot better if you do what God tells you to do and leave the rest of it alone.

01:12:08.543 --> 01:12:15.582
Well, you know, it would have looked better today if we had just had.

01:12:15.582 --> 01:12:23.925
Well, somebody didn't obey God because they didn't let me know that God told them they needed to come over here and do this.

01:12:23.925 --> 01:12:26.988
You go, it really works like that.

01:12:26.988 --> 01:12:28.405
That's exactly how it works.

01:12:31.103 --> 01:12:38.340
What would you think if I came before you all the times that I've seen you and been with you and ministered to you and preached?

01:12:38.340 --> 01:12:49.627
What if I had brought just my assorted best of the best of Brother Gordon, volume three?

01:12:49.627 --> 01:12:53.127
You wouldn't have been blessed.

01:12:53.127 --> 01:12:56.210
You wouldn't be here today if I'd have done that.

01:12:56.210 --> 01:13:02.425
I'm preaching you something that nobody has the courage to preach you and I can do that.

01:13:02.425 --> 01:13:04.824
Amen, because I don't care.

01:13:04.824 --> 01:13:07.268
It's not my job to care.

01:13:07.268 --> 01:13:10.279
I don't have an investment in caring.

01:13:10.279 --> 01:13:14.886
I have a great investment in obedience.

01:13:14.886 --> 01:13:24.403
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

01:13:25.243 --> 01:13:34.386
We being many Romans 12, 5, are one body in Christ, individually members of one another.

01:13:34.386 --> 01:13:40.501
We're not related through God, we're related because of God.

01:13:40.501 --> 01:13:44.872
I mean, we're not cousins, we're not even brothers and sisters.

01:13:44.872 --> 01:13:52.090
We are co-laborers with God, we are co-members of God.

01:13:52.090 --> 01:13:53.925
You're not hearing me?

01:13:53.925 --> 01:13:55.851
Well, you try this one.

01:13:55.851 --> 01:13:59.649
At 840, at the 830 service tomorrow.

01:13:59.649 --> 01:14:02.703
I'll be out of there in time to beat them all for breakfast.

01:14:02.703 --> 01:14:03.328
Glory to God, hallelujah.

01:14:03.328 --> 01:14:04.976
We are be out of there in time to beat them all for breakfast.

01:14:04.976 --> 01:14:05.460
Glory to God, hallelujah.

01:14:05.460 --> 01:14:08.569
We are all members of God.

01:14:08.569 --> 01:14:12.170
He is making us into himself.

01:14:14.341 --> 01:14:16.747
If you don't think he can come up with a youth person.

01:14:16.747 --> 01:14:24.148
I got a feeling that the reason that the person never came was because the people wouldn't have received them.

01:14:24.148 --> 01:14:25.784
I don't have proof of that.

01:14:25.784 --> 01:14:27.484
That's just what my knower knows.

01:14:27.484 --> 01:14:30.452
Praise God, hallelujah.

01:14:31.180 --> 01:14:32.345
So what are we saying today?

01:14:32.345 --> 01:14:34.605
What is this all about?

01:14:34.605 --> 01:14:42.104
This is about everybody, because we all have families of Adam, and I know we have.

01:14:42.104 --> 01:14:46.726
Between the two of us, we've raised more kids than you guys will ever have a clue about.

01:14:46.726 --> 01:14:54.927
Amen, we know, and we know this it's better to obey God than to obey your flesh.

01:14:54.927 --> 01:15:01.408
It's better to hear from Him than to hear from your emotions.

01:15:01.408 --> 01:15:03.199
I know you love Him.

01:15:03.199 --> 01:15:04.845
I love my mother.

01:15:04.845 --> 01:15:09.724
I took good care of her On the day that she died.

01:15:10.905 --> 01:15:23.203
I preached the first three chapters of the book of John to her and I said and then I preached the 11th chapter of the book of John and I said I got to that point where it said I am the resurrection and the life.

01:15:23.203 --> 01:15:26.886
He that believeth in me, though he live, yet shall he die.

01:15:26.886 --> 01:15:30.189
He that believeth in me, though he die, yet shall he live.

01:15:30.189 --> 01:15:32.511
And he that liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

01:15:32.511 --> 01:15:35.274
He asked Martha, do you believe that?

01:15:35.274 --> 01:15:37.815
I asked my mom, do you believe that?

01:15:37.815 --> 01:15:47.425
As far as I know, the last word she said was yes, but there was no doubt I wasn't being safe with her.

01:15:47.444 --> 01:15:49.152
She got saved when she was seven.

01:15:49.152 --> 01:15:49.554
Yeah, it wasn't.

01:15:49.554 --> 01:15:52.604
Anybody I ever knew is more saved than her, she told one guy.

01:15:52.604 --> 01:15:56.354
She said sonny, I've been saved so long.

01:15:56.354 --> 01:16:00.765
I've been saved a whole lot longer and you've been alive, don't you worry about it.

01:16:00.765 --> 01:16:04.132
I was trying to get her saved, but you know what?

01:16:04.132 --> 01:16:06.809
I wasn't speaking to her when I said that.

01:16:06.809 --> 01:16:17.210
I was speaking to her mother, because that was the question I asked her mother, my grandmother on her deathbed, and she got through on that.

01:16:17.210 --> 01:16:19.127
She said, yes, I do.

01:16:19.127 --> 01:16:27.451
And she had lived in rebellion against God all her life because she lost her daughter when she was two years old.

01:16:27.451 --> 01:16:33.932
When she was carrying my mother, the older daughter, my Aunt Barbara, died.

01:16:33.932 --> 01:16:37.368
She was bitter about that, but she made it at the end.

01:16:37.368 --> 01:16:40.765
Glory to God.

01:16:41.541 --> 01:16:43.368
I know what it's like to take care of a mother.

01:16:43.368 --> 01:16:44.162
I know what it's like to love a mother.

01:16:44.162 --> 01:16:44.587
I know what it's like to take care of a mother.

01:16:44.587 --> 01:16:45.225
I know what it's like to love a mother.

01:16:45.225 --> 01:16:47.251
I know what it's like to love children.

01:16:47.251 --> 01:16:50.019
I know what it's like to sacrifice for them.

01:16:50.019 --> 01:16:51.805
I know what that's like.

01:16:51.805 --> 01:16:59.546
But I also know what it's like to put them in God's hands and say I'm done with this.

01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:02.488
If you don't tell me to do something, I'm not going to do it.

01:17:02.488 --> 01:17:04.262
I'm just done with it.

01:17:04.262 --> 01:17:06.087
I'm not gonna worry about it.

01:17:06.087 --> 01:17:07.792
I'm not gonna fret about it.

01:17:07.792 --> 01:17:08.882
I'm not gonna cry about it.

01:17:08.882 --> 01:17:12.436
I'm not gonna soak the carpet tears praying about it.

01:17:12.436 --> 01:17:14.243
I'm gonna believe you.

01:17:14.243 --> 01:17:22.971
There hasn't been anything I've ever put in his hands that he hasn't done for me the way he wanted to.

01:17:22.971 --> 01:17:24.536
You got to learn that.

01:17:24.536 --> 01:17:30.310
But learn this there's nothing about Adam that you're going to take the heaven.

01:17:30.310 --> 01:17:34.990
There's nothing about Adam that's going to go into eternity, not one thing.

01:17:34.990 --> 01:17:36.154
Amen.

01:17:37.759 --> 01:18:06.489
The best thing you can ever do for your children and this requires so much of operating in the spirit and not in the flesh is this Pray for them, believe for them, intercede for them, call down intercessors for them to have a unmistakable road to Damascus, experience that they can never walk away from.

01:18:06.489 --> 01:18:11.051
Because all of your praying and all you know, my Lord, just get them to church tomorrow.

01:18:11.051 --> 01:18:18.403
You know that's not going to help, especially if you know if they haven't cleaned up their attic Saturday night, it's not going to.

01:18:18.403 --> 01:18:21.570
You know, get in the church and go and do all that much.

01:18:21.570 --> 01:18:24.887
You know, especially if you're you know if the church is that could help them, you turn up your nose at.

01:18:24.887 --> 01:18:25.712
You know getting to church isn't going to do all that much.

01:18:25.712 --> 01:18:27.210
You know, especially if you're you know if the church is that could help them, you turn up your nose at.

01:18:27.210 --> 01:18:30.829
You know, are you understanding what I'm saying?

01:18:31.619 --> 01:18:37.573
There's a life in the spirit that requires hearing, obedience and doing.

01:18:37.573 --> 01:18:40.207
That's the family you belong to.

01:18:40.207 --> 01:18:45.048
We love each other because we hear God say it.

01:18:45.048 --> 01:18:48.100
Love them as I love you.

01:18:48.100 --> 01:18:49.582
I don't like them.

01:18:49.582 --> 01:18:50.926
Lord, obey me in this.

01:18:50.926 --> 01:18:53.470
Do what I tell you to do.

01:18:53.470 --> 01:18:56.001
Love them in spite of yourself.

01:18:56.001 --> 01:19:01.681
And if you don't turn right around and tell God, you better teach me how to do that, because I'm going to make a mess out of it.

01:19:01.681 --> 01:19:04.105
That's exactly what he wants to hear.

01:19:04.105 --> 01:19:09.734
He doesn't want to hear how capable and how wonderful, a great I just love.

01:19:09.734 --> 01:19:11.622
I love you with the love of the Lord.

01:19:11.622 --> 01:19:15.011
You don't love me with the love of the Lord, any more than a horse could.

01:19:18.421 --> 01:19:19.662
My apostle taught me this.

01:19:19.662 --> 01:19:20.725
He said I.

01:19:20.725 --> 01:19:24.875
He said he said said I know the lord loves me.

01:19:24.875 --> 01:19:27.280
I love, I love you with the love of the lord.

01:19:27.280 --> 01:19:28.645
He said I know the lord loves me.

01:19:28.645 --> 01:19:29.869
How do you feel about it?

01:19:29.869 --> 01:19:36.729
Glory to god, hallelujah.

01:19:37.489 --> 01:19:39.131
We need to learn this about god.

01:19:39.131 --> 01:19:42.317
You got a problem how to love.

01:19:42.317 --> 01:19:47.143
He'll teach you how to love, right, because he's the only one that can't teach you how to love.

01:19:47.143 --> 01:19:48.488
You want to learn how to?

01:19:48.488 --> 01:19:50.173
You want to learn how to love your children.

01:19:50.173 --> 01:19:54.409
Give up trying to love them and let god teach you how to love them.

01:19:54.409 --> 01:19:55.935
And I'm telling tell you.

01:19:55.935 --> 01:20:01.246
The first lesson in that is take your hands off of them, take your affection off of them.

01:20:01.246 --> 01:20:15.210
Take your choking, struggling, strangling Adam affections off of them and let it come back so that you can love them in him.

01:20:15.210 --> 01:20:22.146
Listen at the end of the day and you know if, if your children need to be reinforced to the fact that you love them.

01:20:22.146 --> 01:20:26.253
They're hopeless, you know, but they do need to know this.

01:20:26.253 --> 01:20:32.610
They need to know that when you're in him and you love them, it is God loving them, amen.

01:20:32.610 --> 01:20:39.311
And if they don't get it from your mouth, they're going to get it from the hand of God that is wrapping around them through you.

01:20:39.311 --> 01:20:47.863
But you'll find out that the way you love in God is totally different than the way you love in yourself.

01:20:47.863 --> 01:21:03.525
And if you don't make that distinction, you're going to miss out on some opportunities to see what God can do in other people, through you, and the degree that he is transforming you into his likeness by doing that.

01:21:04.146 --> 01:21:06.832
Hallelujah, it's all about seed.

01:21:06.832 --> 01:21:08.923
It's all about a new family.

01:21:08.923 --> 01:21:11.310
Who is my mother?

01:21:11.310 --> 01:21:12.814
Who are my brothers?

01:21:12.814 --> 01:21:16.443
The ones that hear the word of God and do it?

01:21:16.443 --> 01:21:17.865
They are my real family.

01:21:17.865 --> 01:21:22.835
You are the real family of God, hallelujah.

01:21:22.835 --> 01:21:24.154
Other people can talk about it.

01:21:24.154 --> 01:21:24.710
Other people can say they.

01:21:24.710 --> 01:21:24.948
Hallelujah.

01:21:24.948 --> 01:21:32.287
Other people can talk about it, other people can say they are, other people can do whatever they want, but you are the real family of God.

01:21:32.287 --> 01:21:35.113
Hallelujah, praise God.

01:21:35.113 --> 01:21:37.728
Question is today are you ready to believe it?

01:21:37.728 --> 01:21:39.685
Are you ready to believe it?

01:21:39.685 --> 01:21:44.625
Now that you've heard it, are you ready to believe it and are you ready to do it?

01:21:44.625 --> 01:21:46.442
Praise God.

01:21:47.103 --> 01:21:48.164
I'm not against families.

01:21:48.164 --> 01:21:49.948
I came out of a great family.

01:21:49.948 --> 01:22:04.793
There was nobody listen to me, nobody had any memory in both sides of my family of a generation that were not believers.

01:22:04.793 --> 01:22:06.496
I came from a great family.

01:22:06.496 --> 01:22:25.653
I was placed by God in a great family of flesh and blood so that at an early age I could move into this family of God and be as productive as I possibly could for him.

01:22:25.653 --> 01:22:27.820
I was placed in a great family.

01:22:27.820 --> 01:22:29.243
Are you hearing me?

01:22:29.243 --> 01:22:32.570
I believe they're important.

01:22:33.512 --> 01:22:38.143
The law, which was a law concerning the governance of a people.

01:22:38.143 --> 01:22:41.930
The law said to honor your mother and father.

01:22:41.930 --> 01:22:46.707
It was a first commandment with promise, and Jesus reiterated that.

01:22:46.707 --> 01:22:54.507
He said if you think you're going to get off the hook, amen of obeying that commandment, you need to read what Jesus said about that.

01:22:54.507 --> 01:22:58.987
He said that's where he said that you have made the word of God.

01:22:58.987 --> 01:22:59.929
Of no effect.

01:22:59.929 --> 01:23:02.413
Hallelujah, praise God.

01:23:02.413 --> 01:23:06.782
Of no effect, hallelujah, praise God.

01:23:06.782 --> 01:23:16.949
But you're going to be much better off if you do it from instruction from the Lord rather than figuring it out on your own, because that's where we get in trouble People that don't know the Lord.

01:23:16.949 --> 01:23:18.131
That's all they got.

01:23:18.131 --> 01:23:19.122
You know better.

01:23:19.122 --> 01:23:20.765
You got better ears.

01:23:20.765 --> 01:23:24.573
Amen, praiseelujah, let's stand.

01:23:24.573 --> 01:23:27.701
Hallelujah, I love you.

01:23:27.940 --> 01:23:35.743
I did not say say any of this as correction, but only as a way for you to take another step into him.

01:23:35.743 --> 01:23:40.601
I know you know God wouldn't have me do this if you weren't struggling.

01:23:40.601 --> 01:23:44.029
You don't need to struggle, you need to be free.

01:23:44.029 --> 01:23:46.881
Hallelujah, praise God.

01:23:46.881 --> 01:23:52.193
Hallelujah, I want you to stretch forth your hands to Sister Susie right now.

01:23:52.193 --> 01:23:55.652
Father, in the name of Jesus, she's going to court on Wednesday.

01:23:55.652 --> 01:23:58.201
Be in prayer on Wednesday morning.

01:23:58.301 --> 01:24:01.707
Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you for the breakthrough.

01:24:01.707 --> 01:24:04.253
I thank you for the breakthrough.

01:24:04.253 --> 01:24:08.766
I thank you, lord, that you are going to show yourself mighty.

01:24:08.766 --> 01:24:11.313
In Jesus name.

01:24:11.313 --> 01:24:13.284
I thank you for the peace that you've given her.

01:24:13.284 --> 01:24:21.792
I thank you for the peace that she's walking in and I thank you for the deliverance of God to do a great and mighty work.

01:24:21.792 --> 01:24:24.091
Hallelujah, praise God.

01:24:24.091 --> 01:24:35.929
We are going to see God do a great thing and we are going to be glad in Jesus name, praise God, praise God, praise God, hallelujah, hallelujah.

01:24:35.929 --> 01:24:37.471
Let not your heart be troubled.

01:24:37.471 --> 01:24:40.083
You believe in God, believe also in me.

01:24:40.083 --> 01:24:42.731
Hallelujah, praise Lord.

01:24:43.774 --> 01:24:54.886
This is something we don't do very often, but we're going to do it today, as the Lord said to do it, and that is, we're going to celebrate communion together, hallelujah.

01:24:54.886 --> 01:24:57.932
Now, this is not unusual for us.

01:24:57.932 --> 01:25:03.247
We celebrate Lord's Supper every Sunday and we celebrate it.

01:25:03.247 --> 01:25:08.506
Sarah and I celebrated every day, because I believe what the Bible says.

01:25:08.506 --> 01:25:14.264
I believe that if you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have eternal life.

01:25:14.264 --> 01:25:19.944
I believe that it is the bread of life that comes down from heaven that a man may eat of and not die.

01:25:19.944 --> 01:25:30.449
I believe that every time we participate of it together, eat of and not die I believe that every time we participate of it together, it is a celebration of the body of Christ and it is an infusion of eternity into our spirits.

01:25:31.431 --> 01:25:34.663
Amen, we live by the eternity of God.

01:25:34.663 --> 01:25:37.048
We don't live by bread alone.

01:25:37.048 --> 01:25:42.180
We don't live by anything that is carnal.

01:25:42.180 --> 01:25:48.788
We live by things that are spiritual, and in this case we live by things that are spiritual and in this case we live by things that are eternal.

01:25:48.788 --> 01:25:53.203
Eternity is what feeds us, eternity is what draws us.

01:25:53.203 --> 01:25:58.939
Amen, hallelujah, praise God, hallelujah.

01:25:58.939 --> 01:26:24.234
And when we have more and more and more infinity and eternity coming into us, we will learn why it's so important to break every covenant with death and to break everything that draws us into death and away from eternity, so that we can take one more step, one more step, one more step into eternity.

01:26:25.220 --> 01:26:40.835
We are ever doing exactly what Enoch did, and when I talk when the one redeeming factor in your body, concerning the DNA of your body, is a DNA change that came by way of Enoch.

01:26:40.835 --> 01:26:42.377
That came by way of Enoch.

01:26:42.377 --> 01:26:52.648
Part of the reason of the flood was to purge the DNA pool off of the planet that had corrupted since Adam and up till Noah.

01:26:52.648 --> 01:26:59.914
Noah was the grandchild of Enoch and no great-grandchild of Enoch.

01:26:59.914 --> 01:27:02.688
It's kind of hard to imagine when people are all living that long.

01:27:02.688 --> 01:27:11.935
But Enoch, because when he walked off the planet, he walked into eternity.

01:27:11.935 --> 01:27:28.829
There was a DNA change that he left with Noah that placed eternity in us so that we would seek after it and not be given into cults of death all the time, but we would seek after this eternity until we have been quickened.

01:27:29.239 --> 01:27:31.448
We understand that eternity is pulling us.

01:27:31.448 --> 01:27:33.826
Are you hearing this?

01:27:33.826 --> 01:27:43.226
I'm giving you the five-minute version of what is years of what we do here on Sundays when we minister the sacrament.

01:27:43.226 --> 01:27:52.730
It is all about eternity, and this eternity is like a magnet, just pulls you away from death and into him.

01:27:52.730 --> 01:28:05.876
The more you live in eternity, the less sick you're going to be, the more healthy you'll be, the more wise you'll be, the more discerning you'll be, the gifts of the spirit will operate at a higher level.

01:28:05.876 --> 01:28:06.578
Amen.

01:28:06.578 --> 01:28:14.693
The power of God will flow through you like fire, because you are being pulled into the eternity that God is.

01:28:15.954 --> 01:28:17.706
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

01:28:18.859 --> 01:28:19.581
Praise the Lord.

01:28:19.581 --> 01:28:19.981
Glory to God.

01:28:19.981 --> 01:28:21.783
Praise the Lord, glory to God.

01:28:21.783 --> 01:28:29.449
The churches that believe that this is just a remembrance of Christ's death are robbing this of its power.

01:28:29.449 --> 01:28:31.792
The early church did not just.

01:28:31.792 --> 01:28:36.337
You know, hey, they were just a few days away from the death of Christ.

01:28:36.337 --> 01:28:41.287
They didn't need a piece of bread and some wine to remind them of that.

01:28:41.287 --> 01:28:43.600
They were being persecuted all over the city of Jerusalem because of it.

01:28:43.600 --> 01:28:45.427
They knew there was something else.

01:28:45.427 --> 01:28:46.573
There was power in it.

01:28:46.573 --> 01:28:48.481
That's why they did it daily.

01:28:49.203 --> 01:28:53.992
Praise God, hallelujah, praise the Lord.

01:28:53.992 --> 01:29:04.552
So, father, we're asking you to open us up to the reality of your bread, of your body, body, of the cup of your blood.

01:29:04.552 --> 01:29:19.488
Hallelujah, your word says is not the bread that we break the communion of the body of Christ and is not the cup that we share the communion of the blood of Christ?

01:29:19.488 --> 01:29:30.149
And we know, lord, that your word says that if we eat of this flesh and drink of this blood, we will have eternal life and you will raise us up into it.

01:29:30.149 --> 01:29:33.922
We give you praise for it, lord, in Jesus' name.

01:29:33.922 --> 01:29:36.751
Hallelujah, praise God.

01:29:36.751 --> 01:29:44.920
I thank you, lord, that you're going to manifest yourself greatly in each life that is assembled here before you today, that you're going to manifest yourself greatly in each life that is assembled here before you today.

01:29:44.920 --> 01:29:50.032
You're going to impart life to us, and that more abundantly.

01:29:51.161 --> 01:29:57.984
Praise God, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, praise God.

01:29:57.984 --> 01:30:00.412
Fear not, be not afraid.

01:30:00.412 --> 01:30:04.449
They can't do anything to your spirit.

01:30:04.449 --> 01:30:09.176
There is no law against the things of the spirit.

01:30:09.176 --> 01:30:10.079
Hallelujah.

01:30:10.079 --> 01:30:20.890
And I want you to hear what Sister Sarah brought it is the Lord of heaven who rules in the kingdoms of men.

01:30:20.890 --> 01:30:25.099
Hallelujah, praise God, hallelujah, praise God.

01:30:25.099 --> 01:30:27.548
Hallelujah, praise God.

01:30:27.548 --> 01:30:29.465
We are so glad you all came today.

01:30:29.465 --> 01:30:32.242
Okay, that's fine.

01:30:32.242 --> 01:30:33.587
Praise God.

01:30:33.587 --> 01:30:38.346
Body of our Lord and Savior, jesus Christ, is given for you.

01:30:38.346 --> 01:30:41.387
His precious blood is shed for you.

01:30:41.387 --> 01:30:46.988
There is no weapon that is formed against you that shall prosper.

01:30:46.988 --> 01:30:52.890
Hallelujah, praise God, praise God, hallelujah.

01:30:53.621 --> 01:31:01.853
On that night in which Jesus was betrayed, he took the bread and when he broke it he gave it to them, saying this is my body which is given for you.

01:31:01.853 --> 01:31:03.135
Take and eat.

01:31:03.135 --> 01:31:05.567
And like manner also, he took the cup.

01:31:05.567 --> 01:31:08.386
When he had given thanks, he blessed it.

01:31:08.386 --> 01:31:20.109
He gave it to them, saying drink of it, all of you, but this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins.

01:31:20.109 --> 01:31:24.992
Do this often, in remembrance of me, take and drink, hallelujah.

01:31:25.860 --> 01:31:36.909
I want you to raise your hands and believe for the power of God to surge through your body like it has never been surged.

01:31:36.909 --> 01:31:53.313
Hallelujah, I want you to see by the Spirit that you are not waiting for God to reach down from heaven and touch you, but you are being pulled by his eternity into the very heart of his glory.

01:31:53.313 --> 01:32:04.354
Hallelujah, imagine yourself, see yourself, see yourself drawn by the spirit of God into his very heart.

01:32:04.354 --> 01:32:16.201
Hallelujah, john did not press up against the bosom of Christ because he was sleepy or because he was going to miss him, or because he was sad.

01:32:16.201 --> 01:32:20.988
It was as close to his heart as he could possibly get.

01:32:21.789 --> 01:32:24.234
Hallelujah, glory to God.

01:32:24.234 --> 01:32:39.887
Hallelujah, if you see yourself being pulled by the power of God into his heart, into the burning center of his great desire for you, there is no weapon formed against you that shall prosper.

01:32:39.887 --> 01:32:41.412
Oh, glory to God.

01:32:41.412 --> 01:32:45.962
When the enemy comes in, the spirit of God has already raised up a standard.

01:32:45.962 --> 01:32:50.770
The spirit of God has already exerted his flood against him.

01:32:51.492 --> 01:32:53.180
Oh God, we give you praise.

01:32:53.180 --> 01:33:02.163
We give you praise, mighty God, for the healing virtue, for the restoring virtue, for the delivering virtue.

01:33:02.163 --> 01:33:14.332
God, out of every pressure, out of every trial, out of every temptation, out of everything that comes against these children of God, oh hallelujah, hallelujah.

01:33:14.332 --> 01:33:16.347
These are born of you, god.

01:33:16.347 --> 01:33:28.393
These are not, hallelujah, those that come to you in the flesh of their desires, but they come to you by the power of their desires, but they come to you by the power of the Holy Ghost and in much assurance.

01:33:28.393 --> 01:33:31.106
Hallelujah, glory to God.

01:33:32.765 --> 01:33:42.515
Hallelujah, hallelujah, fret not, fret not, fret not.

01:33:42.515 --> 01:33:44.850
Hallelujah, glory to God.

01:33:44.850 --> 01:33:55.942
Oh hallelujah, hallelujah, lord, let your peace that passes all understanding fill her heart, fill her mind in Christ Jesus.

01:33:55.942 --> 01:33:57.203
Oh, glory to God.

01:33:57.203 --> 01:33:59.426
We give you praise, jesus.

01:33:59.426 --> 01:34:08.181
Oh hallelujah, oh God, oh hallelujah, over her family, lord, over that which you have given her.

01:34:08.181 --> 01:34:10.930
Oh God, we give you praise.

01:34:10.930 --> 01:34:16.184
Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord, thank you Lord, thank you Lord, thank you Lord.

01:34:16.184 --> 01:34:19.051
Oh, blessed be the name of our God.

01:34:19.051 --> 01:34:32.226
Thank you, master, oh god, let's reach up to heaven, get what you need from the lord.

01:34:32.226 --> 01:34:32.807
Let him minister to you.

01:34:32.807 --> 01:34:43.671
He knows where you're at, hallelujah, he knows where you're at, he knows what you're going through, he knows what is touching you and he has been touched with the feeling of your infirmities.

01:34:44.172 --> 01:34:54.637
Hallelujah, praise God, hallelujah, glory be to Jesus, hallelujah, hallelujah, praise God.

01:34:54.637 --> 01:34:57.323
Well, praise the name of Jesus.

01:34:57.323 --> 01:35:02.231
Hallelujah, praise God, hallelujah.

01:35:02.231 --> 01:35:06.148
See, I don't need to know what's troubling you.

01:35:06.148 --> 01:35:21.702
I only need to know that, if God shows it to me to think that somehow we're, we need to know and we're informing God of what's going on, I don't know what I could possibly say about that picture, and still be nice.

01:35:21.702 --> 01:35:23.207
Glory to God.

01:35:23.207 --> 01:35:25.775
Hallelujah, god tells you, what if God tells you something about that picture and still be nice.

01:35:25.775 --> 01:35:26.279
Glory to God, hallelujah.

01:35:26.279 --> 01:35:27.586
God tells you what?

01:35:27.586 --> 01:35:34.569
If God tells you something, it's for His glory and it's for ministering Hallelujah.

01:35:34.569 --> 01:35:38.547
If he doesn't show you something, that doesn't mean that we're not doing anything.

01:35:38.547 --> 01:35:42.006
Glory to God.

01:35:42.006 --> 01:35:46.350
You can always get what you need in an atmosphere like this.

01:35:46.350 --> 01:35:50.065
Hallelujah, praise God.

01:35:50.065 --> 01:35:58.322
Just slip up your hands and just love him, just adore him, just magnify him, just glorify him.

01:35:58.322 --> 01:36:06.810
Oh, hallelujah, oh, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus.

01:36:06.810 --> 01:36:07.750
Hallelujah.

01:36:07.750 --> 01:36:12.213
We thank you, lord, praise God, well, glory.
