00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:00.981
Praise God.

00:00:00.981 --> 00:00:05.213
Let's turn to 2 Corinthians, chapter 4.

00:00:05.213 --> 00:00:14.314
I want to continue on in this study, in these verses here, about the spirit of ministry.

00:00:14.314 --> 00:00:38.987
Praise God, the spirit of ministry, one of the names of the Holy Ghost, of the Holy Ghost that's revealed as Paul talks about the glorious ministry of the law, which he said was a ministry of condemnation, which was reflected in Moses as he came down the mountain.

00:00:38.987 --> 00:00:48.002
And Paul said if that ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious will be the ministry of the Spirit?

00:00:48.002 --> 00:00:54.661
So from that one verse, right there, we see that the ministry of the Spirit is a ministry of glory.

00:00:54.661 --> 00:00:58.405
Amen, hallelujah.

00:00:58.924 --> 00:01:00.286
What is the glory of God?

00:01:00.286 --> 00:01:23.513
Glory of God can be said as many things, but it is the essence of His excellency, it is the manifestation of His power, it is what is around and in God, wherever he goes Amen.

00:01:23.513 --> 00:01:29.239
He cannot go anywhere that his glory is not trailing behind.

00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.400
Isaiah said this.

00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.625
Isaiah said this.

00:01:33.625 --> 00:01:46.129
He said that in the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord and he was high and he was lifted up and his train of glory filled the temple.

00:01:46.129 --> 00:01:59.251
Hallelujah, because where he goes, he can't separate himself from the glory, because glory is what he is and what he emanates.

00:01:59.251 --> 00:02:02.046
Paul said this.

00:02:02.046 --> 00:02:09.313
He said that God lives in an irreproachable light.

00:02:09.313 --> 00:02:12.469
In other words, you can't come near this light, amen.

00:02:12.469 --> 00:02:16.631
It's so powerful and so great, you can't come near it.

00:02:16.631 --> 00:02:18.507
That light is His glory.

00:02:18.507 --> 00:02:28.481
When Peter, james and John went up with Jesus on the mountain, they entered into a cloud.

00:02:28.481 --> 00:02:29.843
That was a cloud of glory.

00:02:29.843 --> 00:02:37.014
Amen, hallelujah, praise God.

00:02:37.014 --> 00:03:16.064
So Paul, in this great chapter here, we talked about this last time that one of the effects of the gospel of glory is that there are gods of every age, whatever age you live in, whatever type of time that you live in, whatever characterizes that time in terms of education, in terms of government, in terms of wars, in terms of inventions, in terms of whatever is going on in that time in the world system.

00:03:16.064 --> 00:03:22.241
There is a God that governs that age, or multiple gods, and the effect of those gods.

00:03:22.241 --> 00:03:26.231
What they are designed to do is not to do what it appears to do.

00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.009
You have to understand this about the kingdom of Satan.

00:03:30.009 --> 00:03:33.330
The kingdom of Satan operates totally by deception.

00:03:33.330 --> 00:03:37.306
So you remember the Wizard of Oz?

00:03:37.306 --> 00:03:38.881
The great line in the Wizard of Oz pay.

00:03:38.881 --> 00:03:40.527
No attention to that man behind the curtain.

00:03:40.527 --> 00:03:45.383
One of the great lines in movies, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

00:03:45.383 --> 00:03:47.888
Well, that's exactly what Satan does.

00:03:47.888 --> 00:04:01.544
I mean, it can be out there in full sight, but deception will tell you to pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, even though you can see what's going on.

00:04:01.544 --> 00:04:02.667
Don't pay attention to that.

00:04:02.667 --> 00:04:18.312
It's really something else, and the deceit is woven into all of these things that are happening in the age that you're in, so that you are blinded to the gospel of glory.

00:04:18.312 --> 00:04:32.473
I don't mean to keep picking on this, but you've got to really understand this, because our eyes listen, our eyes have a veil over them.

00:04:32.473 --> 00:04:35.345
You say, well, I don't have no veil.

00:04:35.345 --> 00:04:36.730
Yes, you do.

00:04:36.730 --> 00:04:42.672
You have no idea how thick this deception is.

00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:44.966
I was talking to Sarah about this yesterday.

00:04:44.966 --> 00:04:49.391
You know, because I meditate about these things a lot.

00:04:49.391 --> 00:04:53.206
You know in our culture, right here in the United States.

00:04:53.206 --> 00:05:06.790
I don't know about anybody else, but in our culture, our collective consciousness for the past hundred years has been defined by movies.

00:05:06.790 --> 00:05:09.795
Now, that's a god of the age.

00:05:09.795 --> 00:05:11.843
Are you seeing?

00:05:11.843 --> 00:05:15.939
I'm going to talk plainly to you so you understand what I'm talking about.

00:05:15.939 --> 00:05:19.348
I don't want you to think I'm getting so deep that you can't understand this.

00:05:19.348 --> 00:05:20.721
I want to make this so simple.

00:05:20.721 --> 00:05:22.706
You can't walk out of here without going.

00:05:22.706 --> 00:05:28.141
Well, you know he's right, there's a God of.

00:05:28.141 --> 00:05:33.584
This age consumed our population after movies became the predominant art form.

00:05:35.350 --> 00:05:37.966
I want you to just use your imagination.

00:05:37.966 --> 00:05:41.185
Maybe some of you can remember this as kids.

00:05:41.185 --> 00:05:47.531
I can remember listening to Gunsmoke, when Gunsmoke was not a television show.

00:05:47.531 --> 00:05:59.744
I can remember listening to all of these things on radio where you had to supply the visuals.

00:05:59.744 --> 00:06:05.370
You, your imagination, had to supply the vigils.

00:06:05.370 --> 00:06:08.160
You had to see Matt walking out in the street.

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:16.380
Now Matt in the radio was not this six foot four giant of a guy that Jim Arness is in the radio parade.

00:06:16.380 --> 00:06:18.365
He's a fat, roly, poly little guy.

00:06:18.365 --> 00:06:24.764
You know that just had a had a, you know, over tobacco and over whisky voice that sounded real husky.

00:06:24.764 --> 00:06:35.444
But you had to supply the visuals of the horses and the guys out in the street pulling guns and all that.

00:06:35.444 --> 00:06:36.367
That was your imagination.

00:06:36.367 --> 00:06:45.250
All they had was words and life was like that for a long time.

00:06:45.620 --> 00:06:53.209
But as movies and television got the ascendancy, they supply all of the visual stimulation.

00:06:53.209 --> 00:06:57.646
You don't have to have an imagination anymore, they just have to have your attention.

00:06:57.646 --> 00:07:04.867
Well, in that attention, my dear brother and sister, they whitewashed your brain.

00:07:04.867 --> 00:07:09.665
Oh yes, they did From day one.

00:07:09.665 --> 00:07:12.389
It's been systematically done.

00:07:12.389 --> 00:07:13.685
You have no idea.

00:07:14.139 --> 00:07:15.841
Let me give you the point in question.

00:07:15.841 --> 00:07:48.244
Everybody and their brother thinks that Western expansion and everything that the common denominator of all that was a church house and a combined school house and everybody went to church and all the little kids went to school.

00:07:48.244 --> 00:07:51.492
And it's just Little House on the Prairie multiplied by 1,000.

00:07:51.492 --> 00:08:06.997
From that image, and it's just not Little House on the Prairie, it's every Western you've ever seen, every movie you've ever seen, every movie you've ever seen, has movie you've ever seen?

00:08:06.997 --> 00:08:07.779
Has these?

00:08:07.779 --> 00:08:08.533
You know?

00:08:08.555 --> 00:08:11.899
I'm thinking how in the world this town has been here for 10 years.

00:08:11.899 --> 00:08:16.620
They've got 14 streets, they've got buildings, they've got banks, they've got hotels.

00:08:16.620 --> 00:08:18.867
That never happened, folks.

00:08:18.867 --> 00:08:23.187
If the town was only 14 years old, they probably were still living in tents.

00:08:23.187 --> 00:08:27.987
I won't even mention If the town was only 14 years old, they probably were still living in tents.

00:08:27.987 --> 00:08:40.937
I won't even mention what the two first buildings were probably all about, and it wasn't the church house.

00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:50.678
And, for one thing, they didn't have a preacher, but once every month or six weeks, and we couldn't have church without a preacher that was approved of by some.

00:08:50.678 --> 00:09:11.260
See, the image of all of that is this you can't have church without a building and you can't have church without an appointed and approved pastor approved pastor there is.

00:09:11.260 --> 00:09:20.028
You remember that picture that used to be in the Living Way about the people all gathered around at the circle and everybody had their rifles and the wagon train was about and somebody had a Bible open and was reading that?

00:09:20.028 --> 00:09:22.066
There's no room for that.

00:09:22.066 --> 00:09:34.653
If you go back and watch old wagon train examples and the way that they had church back there is more like probably what really happened a long time before they had buildings.

00:09:34.653 --> 00:09:39.451
But you don't get that most of the time in most of the common experience.

00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:49.370
The common experience is you got to have a building, you got to have a preacher and the preacher has to be approved or we're not going to accept him.

00:09:49.370 --> 00:09:55.067
Well, folks, guess what?

00:09:55.067 --> 00:10:04.330
That's what you've got in America, I guarantee you some of you have had this experience.

00:10:04.330 --> 00:10:06.447
You invite people to church and you go.

00:10:06.447 --> 00:10:07.190
Well, where do you meet?

00:10:07.190 --> 00:10:14.187
You tell them it's in the pastor's house and that's the end of the discussion Because their little brains cannot go to.

00:10:14.187 --> 00:10:19.667
You got what you got to have a church building.

00:10:19.667 --> 00:10:21.346
How can you have church without a church building?

00:10:21.346 --> 00:10:22.705
The church is the building.

00:10:22.705 --> 00:10:23.889
No, it's not.

00:10:23.889 --> 00:10:26.187
How do you get all the musicians in there?

00:10:26.187 --> 00:10:32.722
Yeah, how do you get 14 musicians up there?

00:10:32.722 --> 00:10:35.115
Well, we don't, we just sing.

00:10:35.115 --> 00:10:36.581
We're going to sing now.

00:10:36.581 --> 00:10:37.663
What were you to God?

00:10:37.663 --> 00:10:53.370
The point I'm trying to make is this that the God of this age has been busy weaving a deceit across the eyes of people so that they cannot see the gospel of glory.

00:10:53.370 --> 00:11:12.100
Their eyes are blinded and in their blindness they have accepted what the God of this age has defined as the proper way of having church, the God of this age has defined as the proper way of having church.

00:11:15.220 --> 00:11:17.500
Now, there were attempts all through that time of breaking out of that mold, but it got shut down in a hurry.

00:11:17.500 --> 00:11:22.532
You know, there were all the big revivals of the 30s with Amy Semple, mcpherson and others.

00:11:22.532 --> 00:11:23.894
But as soon as they got popular, what did they do?

00:11:23.894 --> 00:11:25.580
Revivals of the 30s with Amy Semple, mcpherson and others Great, big.

00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:28.428
But as soon as they got popular, what did they do?

00:11:28.428 --> 00:11:30.727
They built these great big cathedrals.

00:11:30.727 --> 00:11:39.846
As soon as they built the great big cathedrals, it was over, because I'm telling you God's not into buildings.

00:11:40.869 --> 00:11:41.750
Now you don't believe me.

00:11:41.750 --> 00:11:43.447
Just go look at those pictures in the living room.

00:11:43.447 --> 00:11:46.128
He destroys them with regularity.

00:11:46.128 --> 00:11:49.145
Oh yes, he does.

00:11:49.145 --> 00:11:55.192
You can't find one piece of the tabernacle of Moses.

00:11:55.192 --> 00:12:06.051
You can find the foundation of the tabernacle of Solomon, and you can still find pieces of the tabernacle of Zerubbabel and of Herod.

00:12:06.051 --> 00:12:10.423
God destroys things with regularity that he has no use for anymore.

00:12:10.423 --> 00:12:14.311
See, buildings are not the church they were.

00:12:14.311 --> 00:12:21.248
In that time God inhabited that place, but in this time he inhabits you.

00:12:21.828 --> 00:12:47.504
But the spirit of every age will do everything it possibly can to deny you the revelation of Christ, in you, the hope of glory, and they will take people like me who preach the reality of this, and they will invite us to leave as fast as we came in, because they won't have it.

00:12:47.504 --> 00:12:52.211
It doesn't fit the mold, amen.

00:12:52.211 --> 00:12:55.629
And you can't deny the mold because it's universal.

00:12:55.629 --> 00:12:59.368
You understand what I'm talking about by that.

00:12:59.368 --> 00:13:00.159
It's.

00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.183
Everybody thinks the same.

00:13:02.183 --> 00:13:09.857
So if somebody says, wait a minute now.

00:13:09.918 --> 00:13:23.832
Home-based churches and cell-based churches work real well in third world countries because it's more economical to do that than it is to big, build, big build, build buildings, amen.

00:13:23.832 --> 00:13:25.115
And so it's.

00:13:25.115 --> 00:13:27.039
It's easier to implement something like.

00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:41.961
It's easier to teach the reality of it, but once they're embedded in a big building, it's hard to get them out, because the gods of this age have made that a rule.

00:13:41.961 --> 00:13:53.581
Now, the reason that is is because in a big church with multiple services, you don't have time for glory.

00:13:53.581 --> 00:13:55.777
It's inconvenient.

00:13:55.777 --> 00:14:18.432
So I'm trying to get this point across to you, real, simple, by television, by movies have formed us into this mindset that we don't want a church that seeks after the glory.

00:14:18.432 --> 00:14:21.075
We want a church that seeks after convenience.

00:14:21.075 --> 00:14:31.306
But that is not what the glorious gospel is all about.

00:14:31.306 --> 00:14:33.909
Glorious gospel is not about convenience.

00:14:33.909 --> 00:14:42.879
The glorious gospel is about revealing the glory of God, manifesting it, making it real to people.

00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:50.643
Amen, so that they're not content with what the gods of this age have defined for them.

00:14:50.643 --> 00:15:03.581
Another case in point You've heard this, you know this People flit around from church to church based on the quality of the music.

00:15:06.874 --> 00:15:07.778
What did you like about church?

00:15:07.778 --> 00:15:08.934
I really liked the music.

00:15:08.934 --> 00:15:11.395
Well, how was the preaching?

00:15:11.395 --> 00:15:13.017
Well, there wasn't much of it, but it wasn't bad.

00:15:13.017 --> 00:15:14.836
But the music was great.

00:15:14.836 --> 00:15:17.835
You know, change the music.

00:15:17.835 --> 00:15:18.356
They're gone.

00:15:18.356 --> 00:15:30.744
They'll follow the lead singer around more than they'll follow the Word of God, hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:15:30.744 --> 00:15:42.388
Because we've been conditioned that church is about music, hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:15:42.388 --> 00:15:50.500
And church is about making you feel emotionally, goose, pimply.

00:15:50.500 --> 00:15:56.581
Oh, that song was so anointed because it made the hairs on the back of my.

00:15:56.581 --> 00:16:05.317
You know, hey, if that doesn't happen to you in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, you're dead.

00:16:05.317 --> 00:16:14.653
You know, just because a song makes you feel all emotional.

00:16:14.653 --> 00:16:17.221
Hey, that happens all the time with top 40 stuff.

00:16:17.221 --> 00:16:22.034
I wish I could preach glory to god.

00:16:22.034 --> 00:16:29.003
Gods are trying to blind us, us in this age.

00:16:29.844 --> 00:16:36.441
In the second half of verse 4 says lest the gospel of the glory of Christ.

00:16:36.441 --> 00:16:39.822
What is this gospel about?

00:16:39.822 --> 00:16:43.957
This gospel is about the glory of Christ.

00:16:43.957 --> 00:16:55.000
John said this these things are written that you might believe and believing have life in his name, to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and believing have life in his name.

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.378
Now, what was written?

00:16:57.378 --> 00:17:03.613
Was it a history?

00:17:03.613 --> 00:17:07.403
It was a history of glory manifestations.

00:17:07.403 --> 00:17:11.597
You just go from one thing to another, to another.

00:17:11.597 --> 00:17:16.721
In Jesus' life it's just one glory manifestation after another glory manifestation.

00:17:16.721 --> 00:17:22.291
He walks down the road, heals a multitude walks down the road, heals lepers.

00:17:22.291 --> 00:17:24.518
Walks down the road, raises the dead.

00:17:24.518 --> 00:17:28.779
Walks down the road, causes fish to come up with money in their mouth washes down.

00:17:28.779 --> 00:17:37.095
You know, lazarus gets raised from the dead all the way to Calvary.

00:17:37.095 --> 00:17:38.180
It was just one glory manifestation after another.

00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:43.256
And then John said this if all the things that Jesus didn't said were written in a book, there wouldn't be enough room in the world for the books.

00:17:43.256 --> 00:18:09.509
So when Jesus came into the fullness of his ministry at age 30, came up out of the River Jordan, baptized by John, walked out of the law and into the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, from that moment on to the time that he was ascended into heaven, it was nothing, nothing but one great manifestation of glory after another.

00:18:09.509 --> 00:18:14.048
One great manifestation of glory after another.

00:18:14.048 --> 00:18:15.212
Well, why do you say that?

00:18:15.212 --> 00:18:24.824
Because Paul said it right here Lest their eyes see the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:18:24.824 --> 00:18:27.413
It is a gospel that is full of glory.

00:18:27.413 --> 00:18:32.130
Amen, a gospel that is full of glory.

00:18:32.130 --> 00:18:36.596
Amen that the light of the gospel of glory, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

00:18:39.461 --> 00:18:43.476
See, listen, I'm going to make this real easy for you.

00:18:43.476 --> 00:18:45.060
You want this to be easy.

00:18:45.060 --> 00:18:50.076
I don't care whether it makes sense intellectually.

00:18:50.076 --> 00:18:52.240
I don't care if it makes sense culturally.

00:18:52.240 --> 00:19:05.094
I don't care whether it makes sense intellectually, I don't care if it makes sense culturally, I don't care if it makes sense emotionally, but it makes sense to Paul, it makes sense to the Holy Ghost.

00:19:05.094 --> 00:19:28.101
And what makes sense to the Holy Ghost is this that demonic powers are blinding all people's eyes lest, lest, the light of the gospel, of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

00:19:28.101 --> 00:19:31.855
Now, this is real simple.

00:19:31.855 --> 00:19:33.333
I'll make this simple.

00:19:33.333 --> 00:19:36.442
It's one sentence, okay.

00:19:37.590 --> 00:19:40.420
The devil's trying to keep you from seeing the glory.

00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:43.858
The devil's trying to keep you from being the glory.

00:19:43.858 --> 00:19:49.157
The devil's trying to get you from seeing the glory in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:19:49.157 --> 00:19:54.963
The devil's trying to keep you from realizing that the gospel of Jesus Christ, the devil's trying to keep you from realizing that the gospel of Jesus Christ, is a gospel of glory.

00:19:54.963 --> 00:19:56.144
It is nothing else.

00:19:56.144 --> 00:19:57.451
It is nothing less.

00:19:57.451 --> 00:19:58.894
Amen.

00:19:59.295 --> 00:20:01.178
It's not good rules to live by.

00:20:01.178 --> 00:20:03.643
It is rules to be transformed by.

00:20:03.643 --> 00:20:05.712
It is not a good idea.

00:20:05.712 --> 00:20:07.436
It is the only idea.

00:20:07.436 --> 00:20:11.968
It's not a gospel of how to live better.

00:20:11.968 --> 00:20:20.679
It's a gospel to how to die and live anew and be a glorified person.

00:20:20.679 --> 00:20:27.717
See, religion teaches you that you're not going to be glorified until you leave this body.

00:20:28.578 --> 00:20:30.218
That's not what my gospel tells me.

00:20:30.218 --> 00:20:42.319
My gospel tells me that it is Christ in me now and it is the hope of glory, the earnest expectation that his glory is going to be manifested in me now.

00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:49.160
That is the gospel of glory, that is the gospel of the glory of the Christ.

00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:50.970
It is the gospel of glory that is the gospel of the glory of the Christ.

00:20:50.970 --> 00:21:07.601
It is the gospel of the glory of the one who was raised from the dead, exalted to the right hand of the Father, given a name that is above all names, and given a name that is the exalted name of God, the anointed one, the Christ, the Jesus.

00:21:07.601 --> 00:21:13.041
This gospel is always a gospel of glory.

00:21:13.041 --> 00:21:14.073
Amen.

00:21:14.273 --> 00:21:19.355
You can't preach this gospel in its reality without releasing glory.

00:21:19.355 --> 00:21:24.840
When God preached this gospel to Abraham, god saw his glory.

00:21:24.840 --> 00:21:31.102
And when he saw that glory, he said all things are possible, amen.

00:21:31.102 --> 00:21:32.596
What's the Bible say?

00:21:32.596 --> 00:21:46.836
Paul said this about Abraham when Abraham told him that he was going to have a son, even in his old age, at 100 years old, he did what you didn't read your Bible he glorified God.

00:21:46.836 --> 00:21:49.375
Oh, yes, he did.

00:21:49.375 --> 00:21:51.339
And how did he glorify God?

00:21:51.339 --> 00:21:59.092
Because he'd already received the glory because the gospel had already been preached to him and he didn't have any reason not to believe it.

00:21:59.092 --> 00:22:02.340
Like people do today, people have lots of reasons not to believe.

00:22:02.340 --> 00:22:03.111
Well, that can't be.

00:22:03.111 --> 00:22:06.055
We never see the glory in our church.

00:22:06.055 --> 00:22:06.756
So that must not.

00:22:06.756 --> 00:22:08.097
That must not be real.

00:22:08.097 --> 00:22:09.861
No, your church isn't real.

00:22:09.861 --> 00:22:16.731
What you can say that?

00:22:16.731 --> 00:22:17.032
Read the Bible.

00:22:17.032 --> 00:22:25.470
This gospel is a gospel of glory Period.

00:22:25.490 --> 00:22:35.363
I can remember the day when the Lord said read that verse, read it again, read it again, read it again.

00:22:35.363 --> 00:22:38.116
I better read that verse 200 times.

00:22:38.116 --> 00:22:39.982
He said do you not see this?

00:22:39.982 --> 00:22:41.186
See what?

00:22:41.186 --> 00:22:42.971
What gospel is this?

00:22:42.971 --> 00:22:44.834
It's the gospel of glory.

00:22:44.834 --> 00:22:52.810
It's a gospel of what Are you seeing that you go to more churches than most people have ever gone to.

00:22:52.810 --> 00:22:54.193
Do you see that?

00:22:54.193 --> 00:22:54.994
No, sir, I don't.

00:22:54.994 --> 00:22:56.718
Why don't you see that?

00:22:56.718 --> 00:23:01.353
I don't know, sir, why would you like to tell me so?

00:23:01.353 --> 00:23:02.434
Read the previous verse.

00:23:02.434 --> 00:23:08.755
The gods of this age are blinding people from seeing it.

00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:12.903
I said well, that's good.

00:23:12.903 --> 00:23:18.769
Why are you telling me all this?

00:23:18.769 --> 00:23:20.410
I said because it's your job to bind those powers and preach my glory.

00:23:20.410 --> 00:23:22.457
I said well, I don't know about all that.

00:23:22.457 --> 00:23:27.260
Lord, that sounds like I get invited one time and that's it.

00:23:27.260 --> 00:23:29.518
He said that's probably about what it's going to be.

00:23:29.518 --> 00:23:35.040
If you get through your message, it'll be successful.

00:23:35.040 --> 00:23:42.696
If they don't kick you off the platform before you get done, amen, count that as a success.

00:23:42.696 --> 00:23:45.150
He told me that I'll never forget.

00:23:45.150 --> 00:23:49.362
You should always preach like it's the last time you will ever be in that church.

00:23:49.362 --> 00:23:56.028
You should always preach like it's the last time you will ever be in that church.

00:23:56.028 --> 00:24:07.942
The second you start preaching like you want an invitation back, you are useless to me.

00:24:07.942 --> 00:24:10.708
I said well, Jesus, this doesn't sound like a.

00:24:10.708 --> 00:24:15.034
This doesn't exactly sound like the roadmap to happiness in my ministry.

00:24:15.054 --> 00:24:25.977
I mean, I was just starting out, I didn't know nothing about nothing, and here God's telling me all this stuff and I said why are you telling me this?

00:24:25.977 --> 00:24:38.670
It wasn't too long after that that's a few years, but not too many years that he told me to go on the radio and then told me to go on the internet and preach this gospel of glory.

00:24:38.670 --> 00:24:59.237
I didn't know nothing about nothing, and yet I put together a radio program that they told me they called me up and they said they called me up and they said you know what he said this is one of the best produced programs we have on the air over here.

00:24:59.237 --> 00:24:59.920
This was over on K sky six 60.

00:24:59.920 --> 00:25:09.826
I remember back when it was a Christian station and I had a program on there and I was preaching about the glory, amen, and and I had it come in, I had the lead in.

00:25:09.826 --> 00:25:12.411
Come in was was father of light, shine down on me.

00:25:12.411 --> 00:25:16.239
And at the end of it it came out.

00:25:16.239 --> 00:25:20.093
It came out into that and it said father of light, shine down on me.

00:25:20.093 --> 00:25:27.096
And that was the end of the program and they said it is the best, one of the best produced programs we have over here.

00:25:27.215 --> 00:25:28.198
Who does that for you?

00:25:28.198 --> 00:25:29.340
I said I do.

00:25:29.340 --> 00:25:30.564
Do you have a studio?

00:25:30.564 --> 00:25:32.095
No, I do it in my garage.

00:25:32.095 --> 00:25:32.817
You do what?

00:25:32.817 --> 00:25:35.974
I said yeah, I do it in my garage.

00:25:35.974 --> 00:25:39.230
What that is?

00:25:39.230 --> 00:25:42.058
High-level professional production?

00:25:42.058 --> 00:25:43.342
I said that's high-level.

00:25:43.342 --> 00:25:44.272
Holy Ghost is what.

00:25:44.272 --> 00:25:46.019
That is Over to God.

00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:49.358
But I was preaching to glory, so God got on it.

00:25:49.358 --> 00:26:01.363
Listen, folks, this was back in the day when I had to drive every week over to Dallas to hand carry the cassette tape over to them.

00:26:01.363 --> 00:26:05.897
I wouldn't even take it in the mail.

00:26:05.897 --> 00:26:13.330
I mean this wasn't emails or attachments to your Twitter or whatever it was.

00:26:13.330 --> 00:26:17.578
You know, I mean, I had to drive over, you know, an hour, over an hour back.

00:26:17.578 --> 00:26:22.571
Glory to God, jesus, hallelujah.

00:26:23.472 --> 00:26:34.746
So now, after all of that, there are hundreds of hours of messages about the glory on the Internet for people all over the world to listen to.

00:26:34.746 --> 00:26:47.867
I've got people all over the northern rim of South America that have listened to all my messages in Spanish and they say when are you going to put some more messages out there?

00:26:47.867 --> 00:26:50.648
I said when are you going to listen to them the second time?

00:26:50.648 --> 00:26:53.143
And the third?

00:26:53.143 --> 00:26:55.049
You didn't get enough out of it the first time.

00:26:55.049 --> 00:27:02.490
I can't even get the folk in Costa Rica to listen to them once.

00:27:02.490 --> 00:27:07.401
Pathetic, isn't it?

00:27:07.401 --> 00:27:11.449
But it's all right, it's all right.

00:27:11.849 --> 00:27:14.615
This gospel shall be preached.

00:27:14.615 --> 00:27:22.921
This gospel shall be preached, and this gospel of glory has to be preached because nobody else is doing it.

00:27:22.921 --> 00:27:26.005
Oh, there are people all over the planet.

00:27:26.005 --> 00:27:28.087
I mean, I'm not saying I'm the lone ranger here.

00:27:28.087 --> 00:27:37.926
I certainly don't want to give that impression, but the reality of it is that there are very few, because the price to pay is tremendous.

00:27:37.926 --> 00:27:43.843
I mean, you will always be isolated, you'll always be alone, you'll always be.

00:27:43.843 --> 00:27:49.913
You know, um, be one of those strange people, because you don't preach what we want to hear.

00:27:52.969 --> 00:27:53.618
You don't make me feel better.

00:27:53.618 --> 00:27:56.067
The glory is not supposed to make you feel better.

00:27:56.067 --> 00:27:59.147
The glory is supposed to make you scared to death.

00:27:59.147 --> 00:28:06.981
That you are in Christ enough that you can withstand the glory when he manifests it.

00:28:06.981 --> 00:28:15.890
Amen, amen, hallelujah, hallelujah, praise His name, hallelujah.

00:28:15.890 --> 00:28:20.630
The devil does not want you to know this.

00:28:20.630 --> 00:28:26.792
First thing he stole out of the church was the realization that Christ is in you.

00:28:26.792 --> 00:28:30.441
The second thing was that the Holy Ghost can fill you.

00:28:30.441 --> 00:28:33.509
Third thing was you don't need the gifts.

00:28:33.509 --> 00:28:39.042
You take all of that out of the church and you've got nothing.

00:28:39.042 --> 00:28:40.969
You've got religion.

00:28:40.969 --> 00:28:45.906
Hallelujah, you go.

00:28:46.803 --> 00:28:48.448
Well, what are all these other churches doing?

00:28:48.448 --> 00:29:13.951
I don't know, but where there's not miracles, where there's not power, where there are not signs, where there's not wonders, where there's not healing, where there's not people being revived and renewed by the power of the Holy Ghost, where people aren't actively seeking after the giftings and the callings, after the fruit, oh my God, they're just playing church.

00:29:13.951 --> 00:29:16.527
They want Christian clubs.

00:29:16.527 --> 00:29:24.048
I just double dog.

00:29:24.048 --> 00:29:28.548
Dare you to find that kind of a definition for the body of Christ in the New Testament?

00:29:28.548 --> 00:29:42.640
Let's go ahead and search it out, you won't find that they didn't have any two-step-on-the-devil's-forehead dance club cell groups in Jerusalem.

00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:44.026
I can guarantee you that.

00:29:44.026 --> 00:29:45.766
But they've got them in Carrollton.

00:29:45.766 --> 00:29:51.866
I better leave that one alone.

00:29:51.926 --> 00:29:56.828
Lord Hallelujah, lest the light of the gospel of glory.

00:29:56.828 --> 00:30:09.830
This gospel of glory has light, it has illumination, it has revelation, it has newness of life and light to it.

00:30:09.830 --> 00:30:12.007
It's not the same old, same old.

00:30:12.007 --> 00:30:13.324
It's not the you know.

00:30:13.324 --> 00:30:14.769
It's not the same stuff.

00:30:14.769 --> 00:30:17.000
You've heard a thousand times Amen.

00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:29.933
There's a freshness to the revelation on every preaching of it, whether it's the same verses or not, whether it's the same messages or different scriptures.

00:30:29.933 --> 00:30:40.148
God is going to bring a freshness and a newness to this that comes out of him and not out of something that men have cooked up.

00:30:40.148 --> 00:30:51.634
Amen, because this light of the gospel of glory, amen, is always new.

00:30:51.634 --> 00:31:09.971
I mean, just think of the comparison of a star, the light that comes out of that star, even though it looks the same.

00:31:13.064 --> 00:31:15.451
I was sitting outside looking at the sun the other day.

00:31:15.451 --> 00:31:22.814
You remember the old adage that the light you get from the sun right now is eight minutes old.

00:31:22.814 --> 00:31:34.146
It took that long for the light which travels at 186,000 miles per second, which is some serious moving.

00:31:34.146 --> 00:31:39.776
I don't care how you consider that, amen, it's some trucking.

00:31:39.776 --> 00:31:42.826
It still takes eight minutes for the light to get here.

00:31:42.826 --> 00:31:46.901
But I mean, you can sit there for eight minutes.

00:31:46.901 --> 00:31:50.041
You know you got that eight minutes worth.

00:31:50.041 --> 00:31:57.308
And then, and then all of a sudden, here comes some new stuff that just came off the surface of the sun, and eight minutes later here comes some more new stuff.

00:31:57.308 --> 00:32:02.943
And all of those eight minutes worth of of stuff all seems the same, doesn't it?

00:32:02.943 --> 00:32:04.865
But it's not.

00:32:04.865 --> 00:32:08.308
It's new light.

00:32:08.308 --> 00:32:15.957
Every second new light is coming to you.

00:32:15.957 --> 00:32:19.066
It's not the same light, amen.

00:32:19.066 --> 00:32:22.794
It's not like this perpetual glowing light bulb out there.

00:32:22.794 --> 00:32:34.748
It is generating heat, it is generating light, and it takes that light and that heat a time to get to you, amen.

00:32:34.748 --> 00:32:38.474
And even though it seems like it's continuous, it's not.

00:32:38.474 --> 00:32:42.851
And even though it seems like it's the same light, it's a different light.

00:32:42.851 --> 00:32:48.770
It just has the same intensity and feels the same, but it's new.

00:32:49.893 --> 00:32:55.050
Somebody say the mercies of the Lord are fresh and new every morning.

00:32:55.050 --> 00:32:57.076
Oh, glory to God.

00:32:57.076 --> 00:33:04.923
This word is going to be fresh, it's going to be new, it's not going to be stale, it's not going to be old, it's not going to be somebody's warmed up stuff.

00:33:04.923 --> 00:33:07.186
It's not going to be somebody's borrowed revelation.

00:33:07.186 --> 00:33:13.920
This is illuminating the light of the gospel of glory, the light of the gospel of glory.

00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:25.548
The light of the gospel of glory is fresh and new and always going to penetrate into your soul and your spirit and separate down to the very essence of who you are.

00:33:25.548 --> 00:33:34.113
But only this gospel will do that.

00:33:34.113 --> 00:33:39.440
You know, you can be somewhere where the glory is not manifesting.

00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:41.909
Amen.

00:33:45.380 --> 00:33:53.258
And they can read that scripture in Hebrews about the word of God is quick and powerful, cutting between the soul and the spirit, even down to the very intense and thoughts of the heart.

00:33:53.258 --> 00:33:55.925
They can read that it's not going to do them any good.

00:33:55.925 --> 00:34:00.761
It's not going to do that for them, because the words just don't do that.

00:34:00.761 --> 00:34:06.346
It's the gospel, it's the light of the gospel of glory that cuts like that.

00:34:06.346 --> 00:34:24.596
Which is why people would prefer to be deceived and not pursue the glory, because they don't want to be cut.

00:34:24.596 --> 00:34:28.701
They don't want that piercing word to get down in them Hallelujah.

00:34:28.701 --> 00:34:30.728
They just don't want it.

00:34:30.728 --> 00:34:36.889
The preachers don't want it because they know if I preach like that, people won't like it.

00:34:36.889 --> 00:34:37.992
People don't like it.

00:34:37.992 --> 00:34:45.527
They're going to go someplace else where the music's better and I won't get my paycheck.

00:34:48.639 --> 00:35:03.740
Oh Jesus, everybody say the devil, the devil doesn't want the light to shine on me, and that is it in a nutshell.

00:35:03.740 --> 00:35:08.172
So what happens is the devil buys you some industrial-grade welding glasses.

00:35:08.172 --> 00:35:12.085
Hey man, you want to look at the sun?

00:35:12.085 --> 00:35:13.168
Go, get some welding glasses.

00:35:13.168 --> 00:35:16.688
You can look at the sun because the stuff they deal with has a brightness.

00:35:16.688 --> 00:35:18.572
That's like that, Am I right?

00:35:18.572 --> 00:35:26.847
If they don't use that proper eye protection, they're going to go blind, and a lot of them have, don't they?

00:35:26.847 --> 00:35:34.230
A lot of them have eye disease and things like that because they don't do it, because the interior part of your eyes can't see that.

00:35:34.230 --> 00:35:48.605
So what the devil does is he goes down to the eyeglass supply store and he gets double thickness welding strength blinders for you so you don't see the glory.

00:35:51.030 --> 00:35:55.309
Oh God, lord just gave me this tremendous image.

00:35:55.309 --> 00:36:01.452
You remember back in the 50s, of theaters full of people with 3D glasses on.

00:36:01.452 --> 00:36:13.532
They'd pass them out the door with the little paper glasses, you know, and they'd have the little looked like sunglasses in them, but they were little things that helped you to deal with the 3D effect of the movie.

00:36:13.532 --> 00:36:17.469
And if you didn't have them, you know the movie would just look stupid.

00:36:17.469 --> 00:36:18.572
I mean, it would look grainy.

00:36:18.572 --> 00:36:22.851
But if you put those on, it looked like Godzilla was coming right out of the screen at you.

00:36:22.851 --> 00:36:24.581
You know, remember all that.

00:36:24.581 --> 00:36:29.943
I just had this image of people in church with these huge sunglass blinders on.

00:36:31.688 --> 00:36:32.690
No glory here, lord.

00:36:32.690 --> 00:36:33.771
We don't want any glory here.

00:36:33.771 --> 00:36:35.282
We're not going to see any glory.

00:36:35.282 --> 00:36:42.253
No glory, see no glory, hear no glory, feel no glory.

00:36:42.253 --> 00:36:43.355
No glory here.

00:36:43.355 --> 00:36:46.487
We got protective eyeglasses on.

00:36:46.487 --> 00:36:47.650
We ain't going to see no glory.

00:36:48.940 --> 00:37:00.829
And that's what the devil has done To the modern church, and it has been a calculated effort.

00:37:00.829 --> 00:37:03.766
It is not Listen, he did not.

00:37:03.766 --> 00:37:20.088
The mind control that has been initiated in the movies and televisions over the past hundred years is not so that you'll, like a bunch of lemmings, walk off to the cliffs in Oregon and just walk off into the Pacific Ocean.

00:37:20.088 --> 00:37:22.646
That's not what it's for.

00:37:22.646 --> 00:37:36.527
It's so that you don't seek out the glory of the Lord, because if he can keep you blinded from the glory of the Lord, he can keep you deceived.

00:37:36.527 --> 00:37:45.469
Whatever it takes in every age, the devil will do that.

00:37:45.469 --> 00:38:13.371
Whatever it takes in every age, he will raise up something, some God some power, that whose mission is to keep these people from seeing the glory of the Lord, from keeping these people from even knowing about the glory of the Lord.

00:38:15.342 --> 00:38:20.492
So what's one of the main ways that this works?

00:38:20.492 --> 00:38:21.514
Well, ignorance.

00:38:21.514 --> 00:38:31.554
If you don't have people that read, then they will never know about the glory, Amen.

00:38:31.554 --> 00:38:41.483
If you have people that can't read and they're teachers, they will teach ignorant things and ignorant people will follow ignorant things.

00:38:41.483 --> 00:38:46.148
Amen.

00:38:46.148 --> 00:39:02.083
All he has to do is keep a generation from going to China, or keep a generation from going to India, or keep a generation from going to any aboriginal people, amen, that have not heard the gospel.

00:39:02.083 --> 00:39:12.123
Then, for that generation or for that age, those people will never know the glory Because they don't have a chance.

00:39:12.123 --> 00:39:16.130
And, besides, if somebody goes there, they're not going to bring the glory.

00:39:16.130 --> 00:39:23.648
They're going to bring some denominational stuff and set up Bible schools and do the stuff that they've always done.

00:39:23.648 --> 00:39:29.021
The glory is not going to be revealed, hallelujah.

00:39:29.021 --> 00:39:35.233
What I'm trying to say is this that the gods of this age have a plan.

00:39:35.233 --> 00:39:41.690
The church doesn't have a plan because the church is deceived.

00:39:41.690 --> 00:39:47.764
Oh, hallelujah, glory to God.

00:39:47.764 --> 00:39:50.846
Praise the name of Jesus.

00:39:52.483 --> 00:39:54.710
I used to tell the guys down there in Costa Rica.

00:39:54.710 --> 00:40:02.065
They were just oh, we have to get more senators elected, we have to get more congressmen elected, we have to get a Christian president.

00:40:02.065 --> 00:40:02.947
It'll all be different.

00:40:02.947 --> 00:40:03.851
I said it won't be different.

00:40:03.851 --> 00:40:08.222
It won't be different.

00:40:08.222 --> 00:40:16.188
They might pass a couple laws, but you're not going to get the manifestation of glory just because you get elected officials.

00:40:16.188 --> 00:40:22.507
The government of Costa Rica is not the government of God.

00:40:22.507 --> 00:40:27.864
I mean, let's be real folks.

00:40:27.864 --> 00:40:36.353
I said, what's going to happen to those poor guys is they're going to get corrupted as as, as wonderful and and and and good as they are.

00:40:36.353 --> 00:40:39.695
That's what's going to happen, because that's not the government of God.

00:40:39.695 --> 00:40:45.467
We're not trying to make the government of God the government of men, amen.

00:40:45.467 --> 00:40:53.990
We're trying to bring people who are under the spell of the government of men into the government of God for the purpose of transformation.

00:40:56.501 --> 00:41:02.472
Now, it's good for governments of men to be populated with Christians.

00:41:02.472 --> 00:41:07.184
That's a good thing, but that's not a transformative thing.

00:41:07.184 --> 00:41:10.052
Now, that is taught, but it's not.

00:41:10.052 --> 00:41:20.233
The glory is what transforms, not electing people to public office.

00:41:20.233 --> 00:41:22.780
I got Bible on you, amen.

00:41:23.141 --> 00:41:32.809
Now, it's a good thing for Christians to take public office and be a voice for God and a voice for Christian values in those places.

00:41:32.809 --> 00:41:33.831
I think that's important.

00:41:33.831 --> 00:41:35.704
It's not done enough.

00:41:35.704 --> 00:41:42.492
I think that's important, but that's not going to transform the church into the image of Christ.

00:41:42.492 --> 00:41:48.092
The Spirit of God is going to do that and the gospel of glory is going to do that.

00:41:48.092 --> 00:41:59.407
It's the light of the gospel of glory that is going to transform us into this image of Christ, this image which is in His face.

00:41:59.407 --> 00:42:08.974
You look at Jesus face to face and all you're going to see is 100% glory.

00:42:08.974 --> 00:42:18.304
John said his face shone like the sun, did he not?

00:42:18.304 --> 00:42:25.847
And that's how he looked up on the Mount of Transfiguration His face shone like the sun.

00:42:25.847 --> 00:42:31.411
Praise the Lord, amen, praise God.

00:42:31.411 --> 00:42:37.445
So here's the thing.

00:42:37.445 --> 00:42:48.768
I don't want to start anything else today other than this thought you got two things going on in your life.

00:42:48.768 --> 00:42:51.666
You didn't know this.

00:42:51.666 --> 00:42:58.192
Religion makes things real complicated and the world makes things real complicated.

00:42:58.192 --> 00:43:00.909
Jesus makes things real simple, amen.

00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:03.726
The devil wants to keep the blinders on.

00:43:03.726 --> 00:43:05.891
The devil wants to keep the veil on.

00:43:05.891 --> 00:43:11.152
The devil wants to keep you from seeing the light of the gospel of glory.

00:43:11.152 --> 00:43:15.168
God, on the other hand, wants nothing else.

00:43:15.168 --> 00:43:20.672
He's not interested in something that you can see with blinders.

00:43:20.672 --> 00:43:25.431
He is interested in you seeing something with the blinders off.

00:43:25.431 --> 00:43:27.925
He wants to take off the veil.

00:43:27.925 --> 00:43:35.090
He wants to take off this veil that causes you to be blinded to the gospel of glory, amen.

00:43:35.090 --> 00:43:51.385
And he wants your eyes fully wide, your spiritual eyes fully wide open, so that you can see what he is trying to manifest to you, that this gospel of glory, the light of the gospel of glory, is the only thing that matters.

00:43:51.385 --> 00:44:01.088
Church socials don't matter, basketball teams don't matter, youth programs don't matter, sunday picnics don't matter.

00:44:01.088 --> 00:44:03.653
You know, it just doesn't matter.

00:44:03.653 --> 00:44:09.440
The only thing that matters is the light of the gospel of glory.

00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:13.371
And I'm not saying that because I'm angry at them.

00:44:13.371 --> 00:44:16.590
I'm saying that because that's what the Bible says.

00:44:17.420 --> 00:44:26.588
The Bible says that there's a God of this age that has blinded us so that we don't see the gospel, the light of the gospel of glory.

00:44:26.588 --> 00:44:40.081
But Jesus in us is the hope of glory and it's in His face that this glory is manifested.

00:44:40.081 --> 00:44:44.465
So if Jesus with His face, I hope he doesn't leave His face behind.

00:44:44.465 --> 00:44:49.697
Amen, when Jesus comes into your heart, does he leave His face behind?

00:44:49.697 --> 00:44:51.755
Does he have a veil on?

00:44:51.755 --> 00:44:59.059
No, he does not, and he doesn't look like the guy knocking at the door either.

00:44:59.059 --> 00:45:00.371
That's an artist's conception.

00:45:00.371 --> 00:45:01.978
Jesus doesn't look like that anymore.

00:45:01.978 --> 00:45:04.773
You want to look at his face.

00:45:04.773 --> 00:45:07.099
Glory, you want to see his face.

00:45:07.099 --> 00:45:08.911
Glory you want to look into.

00:45:08.911 --> 00:45:14.739
Like the song said today, you want to look into his eyes Glory, flames of fire come out of his eyes.

00:45:14.739 --> 00:45:15.219
You want to look into.

00:45:15.219 --> 00:45:17.887
Like the song said today, you want to look into his eyes Glory, flames of fire come out of his eyes.

00:45:17.887 --> 00:45:18.409
You want to look at that.

00:45:18.409 --> 00:45:20.516
I'm talking about this Jesus.

00:45:20.516 --> 00:45:28.219
I'm talking about this Jesus, whose only ministry by his spirit is the gospel of glory.

00:45:29.561 --> 00:45:31.686
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:45:31.686 --> 00:45:33.634
Are we getting this?

00:45:33.634 --> 00:45:36.670
We have been sold a bill of goods, folks.

00:45:36.670 --> 00:45:45.775
We have been sold down the river of deceit, thinking that our lives are like Little House on the Prairie.

00:45:45.775 --> 00:45:47.139
Our lives are not like that.

00:45:47.139 --> 00:45:54.237
I won't say that, lord.

00:45:54.237 --> 00:45:56.795
I will not say that, not while it's being recorded.

00:45:56.795 --> 00:45:57.617
I will not say that.

00:45:57.617 --> 00:46:09.097
I'll just invite you to read the credits sometime and draw your own conclusions.

00:46:10.380 --> 00:46:15.679
Glory to God, hallelujah, hallelujah, praise the Lord.

00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:27.643
I'm telling you a hundred years, a hundred years of mind control.

00:46:27.643 --> 00:46:29.990
They don't even back off of it and don't let you know.

00:46:29.990 --> 00:46:31.414
You know that, folks.

00:46:31.414 --> 00:46:32.456
You know that, folks.

00:46:32.456 --> 00:46:36.436
You know that it was back in the drive-in theater days.

00:46:36.436 --> 00:46:37.739
It was all over that.

00:46:37.739 --> 00:46:39.021
They, you know they were doing that.

00:46:39.021 --> 00:46:45.070
They were flashing, you know, subliminal pictures of Coke and popcorn and everything else and you didn't notice it.

00:46:45.070 --> 00:46:46.012
But your brain saw it.

00:46:46.012 --> 00:46:50.637
After a few minutes of that, you just had an undesirable need to go to the concession stand.

00:46:50.637 --> 00:46:55.061
Oh yeah, they were doing it.

00:46:55.061 --> 00:46:56.702
They wouldn't do that.

00:46:56.702 --> 00:46:57.364
Yes, they do.

00:46:57.364 --> 00:47:06.449
I mean, if they'll seed clouds, folks, they'll do that in a heartbeat.

00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:08.902
Glory to God.

00:47:08.902 --> 00:47:13.541
But they do this not because they want to have control over your minds.

00:47:13.541 --> 00:47:18.489
They want to keep you from seeing the light of the gospel of glory.

00:47:18.489 --> 00:47:20.918
It is as simple as that.

00:47:20.918 --> 00:47:32.503
The Holy Ghost makes it so clear Inside of two verses here you'd have to have blinders on if you don't see it.

00:47:32.503 --> 00:47:34.989
You'd have to have blinders on if you don't see it.

00:47:34.989 --> 00:47:37.153
Amen.

00:47:37.193 --> 00:47:40.442
And so with blinders on, you read right through that and you never understand.

00:47:40.442 --> 00:47:54.521
You would read that and in religious teaching you would say this that the devil is trying to keep me from understanding the Bible.

00:47:54.521 --> 00:48:01.460
Except there wasn't any Bible when Paul wrote this.

00:48:01.460 --> 00:48:08.996
Paul was the Bible and the Bible said I said.

00:48:08.996 --> 00:48:24.257
The Bible said that the God of this age has blinded us lest the light of the glory of the gospel of Christ, the gospel of the glory of Christ, should shine upon them and set them free.

00:48:24.257 --> 00:48:28.405
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

00:48:28.405 --> 00:48:44.057
This gospel shall be preached, not some mamby-pamby you know, be a better Adam gospel, but I'm talking about the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:48:44.057 --> 00:48:47.195
I'm talking about the gospel that he lived and died for.

00:48:47.195 --> 00:48:50.146
I'm talking about the gospel that he shed his blood for.

00:48:50.146 --> 00:49:17.175
I'm talking about the gospel that he came out of the law, where he was protected from the devil, and came out of the law and came into the glorious gospel of the freedom, of the law, of the spirit of life, and in that law he did great and glorious things that it is impossible to count or record, so much so that it stopped time and started a whole new time.

00:49:22.652 --> 00:49:25.096
I don't care what they kind of a.

00:49:25.096 --> 00:49:31.458
You know that they try to put you know a Christian era instead of after Christ or whatever they want to do with it.

00:49:31.458 --> 00:49:34.215
They're still counting time by His ministry.

00:49:34.215 --> 00:49:36.471
Oh, yes, they are.

00:49:36.471 --> 00:49:39.681
They wish they wouldn't, but we still are doing it.

00:49:39.681 --> 00:49:41.195
We stopped the clocks.

00:49:41.195 --> 00:49:44.550
Listen, you want to know how powerful Jesus is.

00:49:44.550 --> 00:49:47.456
He stopped time and started it again.

00:49:47.456 --> 00:49:50.123
Oh, yes, he did.

00:49:50.123 --> 00:49:53.458
We don't have any Buddha clocks.

00:49:53.458 --> 00:49:58.697
We don't have any Muslim clocks.

00:49:59.780 --> 00:50:05.177
Amen, you know the church wants to go back and be a Jewish and they celebrate the Jewish calendar.

00:50:05.177 --> 00:50:08.719
What do you want to do that for, when Jesus stopped that one?

00:50:08.719 --> 00:50:14.835
Amen, help me Lord, help me Lord.

00:50:14.835 --> 00:50:26.204
Help me, jesus, lest the light of the glory of the gospel of Christ should shine upon I want that thing.

00:50:26.204 --> 00:50:27.434
I want it to shine on me.

00:50:27.434 --> 00:50:30.235
I want it to shine on me.

00:50:30.235 --> 00:50:31.099
I want it to shine.

00:50:31.099 --> 00:50:37.617
Revelation and illumination and understanding, wisdom and knowledge, all of that, all the time.

00:50:37.617 --> 00:50:40.117
I want to hear what God's praying.

00:50:40.117 --> 00:50:44.436
I want Him to tell me pray this, don't pray that, pray this.

00:50:44.436 --> 00:50:48.800
I want that glory constantly manifesting Himself.

00:50:48.800 --> 00:50:59.860
I mean, hardly a week goes by in this little tiny gathering that we have that somebody doesn't get a miracle.

00:50:59.860 --> 00:51:02.777
It may not be us, but it's somebody we know.

00:51:02.777 --> 00:51:11.460
Somebody is affected by the glory of God that is preached and ministered and held up in this place.

00:51:11.460 --> 00:51:16.773
I'm not going to hold up another gospel, I'm only going to hold up this gospel.

00:51:18.963 --> 00:51:37.242
Paul said I'm not ashamed of this gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation to them which believe, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek, for in it is written that the just shall live by faith.

00:51:37.242 --> 00:51:38.771
Faith in what Faith?

00:51:38.771 --> 00:51:43.402
That the gospel of glory, the light of it, shall shine on them.

00:51:43.402 --> 00:51:47.280
That is the core belief of who you are.

00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:57.516
Listen, we are not defined by denominational definitions of what salvation is.

00:51:57.516 --> 00:52:00.018
I am not defined by that.

00:52:00.018 --> 00:52:07.956
I am defined about what the light of the gospel of glory says, and it says something different than most believe.

00:52:07.956 --> 00:52:12.916
That's okay, but I'm going to believe that light rather than believe some denominational prejudice.

00:52:12.916 --> 00:52:15.170
I'm going to believe that light rather than believe some denominational prejudice.

00:52:15.170 --> 00:52:21.280
I'm going to believe this glory rather than somebody that tells me we don't have time for it.

00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:29.996
I'm going to believe the power, because I am living proof that the dead rise.

00:52:32.217 --> 00:52:51.742
I was a dead man, my heart had stopped, there was no way out, and a man called me on a cell phone and commanded the blockage in my heart to move.

00:52:51.742 --> 00:53:05.621
And the nurse saw it on a monitor and said I've never seen anything like that, because she heard him pray and she said at the moment that he told it to move, it moved.

00:53:05.621 --> 00:53:12.722
You've come too late to tell me we don't have time for the glory.

00:53:12.722 --> 00:53:14.983
I said you've come too late to tell me we don't have time for the glory.

00:53:14.983 --> 00:53:15.172
I said you've come too late.

00:53:15.172 --> 00:53:34.282
You've come way too late Because I saw the little boy whose head had been smashed by the tire of a 4x4 with the tracks up and down his face, blood coming out of his ears and nose.

00:53:34.282 --> 00:53:44.621
You're too late Because two hours later I saw him come back to the meeting and he was 100 and totally percent healed.

00:53:44.621 --> 00:53:50.981
There wasn't a mark on his body, Raised from the dead and healed of every impact of that tire.

00:53:50.981 --> 00:54:06.536
Can you imagine that the his father was driving the car he probably would have killed himself eventually Would have driven him crazy.

00:54:06.536 --> 00:54:08.538
How much mercy God had on that man.

00:54:08.538 --> 00:54:12.637
You've come too late, I said you've come too late.

00:54:12.637 --> 00:54:15.811
You've come too late.

00:54:15.811 --> 00:54:16.612
I said you've come too late.

00:54:16.612 --> 00:54:17.054
You've come too late.

00:54:17.074 --> 00:54:18.998
We've both seen numerous AIDS patients documented healings.

00:54:18.998 --> 00:54:26.898
I'm talking about going to the hospital, getting the next day and getting a bill of health saying you don't have AIDS anymore.

00:54:26.898 --> 00:54:29.282
You've come too late.

00:54:29.282 --> 00:54:33.034
You've come too late.

00:54:33.034 --> 00:54:36.717
In the lifetime of too late In the lifetime of this ministry, we've seen two people raised from the dead.

00:54:36.717 --> 00:54:42.755
You've come too late, I'll say you've come too late.

00:54:42.755 --> 00:54:48.856
The glory works and nothing else does.

00:54:48.856 --> 00:55:05.010
You can talk about it, you can shout about it, you can sing about it, but if it ain't working, if you don't have the hope of glory in you working, it ain't working, you're just talking.

00:55:05.010 --> 00:55:13.702
But I'm done talking, unless it's about the glory, then I'm going to keep on talking.

00:55:13.702 --> 00:55:17.365
Amen, amen, let's stand.
