What if the key to unlocking hope and spiritual riches lies in understanding the mystery of Christ within us? Join us as we embark on a journey through biblical teachings, exploring how the profound hope found through faith in Jesus Christ sets believers apart. We'll reflect on how this spiritual hope encourages us to uncover hidden truths about our existence, guiding us toward a deeper connection with God. Through personal anecdotes and scriptural insights, we'll illustrate how God invites us to discover these mysteries, much like a game of revelation.
Discover the transformative power of seeking spiritual riches with faith and patience. Together, we'll explore how the New Testament reveals that God's treasures aren't simply gifted but demand earnest seeking through prayer, study, and humility. As we discuss aligning our lives with God's purpose, we'll emphasize the role of living in anticipation of Christ's glory manifesting within us. This episode is a call to action, urging listeners to relentlessly pursue understanding and embrace the divine revelations awaiting us.
We challenge the notion of a distant God and urge you to invite His indwelling power within. By understanding our lives are hidden with God, we render the devil powerless. We'll delve into the central mystery of Christ within us, a cornerstone of the gospel that invites continual fresh revelations. Through prayer and thanksgiving, we'll celebrate this divine understanding, encouraging you to appropriate God's word and fulfill your divine purpose with confidence and authority. Let this episode inspire you to seek God's glory as never before and triumph in the profound hope it brings.

00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:02.244
Praise the Lord.
00:00:02.244 --> 00:00:04.891
I just want to take a few minutes here tonight.
00:00:04.891 --> 00:00:12.571
Let's look at 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4 first.
00:00:12.571 --> 00:00:24.047
We're going to talk about one word tonight, and that word is hope.
00:00:24.047 --> 00:00:39.049
1 Thessalonians 4.13 says this I do not want you to be ignorant brethren concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
00:00:39.049 --> 00:00:52.609
From a certain point of view, the world can be divided into two classes those that have no hope and those that have hope.
00:00:55.481 --> 00:01:06.921
We're not talking about, you know, I hope I get a new car next week, or I hope it doesn't rain, or I hope we have a sunny day, which is kind of, you know, just a wish.
00:01:06.921 --> 00:01:10.444
You know, or it's an expression of you know.
00:01:10.444 --> 00:01:22.088
All things considered, you know, we might have rain, we might have snow, we might have hail, we might have 100 degree temperatures we might have, but I hope it's a balmy, 78 degrees with a slight breeze out of the south.
00:01:22.088 --> 00:01:26.510
You know that's kind of wishful thinking, especially if you're in Texas in the summertime.
00:01:26.510 --> 00:01:32.712
But you know, I mean we're not talking about that kind of hope, and neither was Paul when he wrote this.
00:01:32.712 --> 00:01:39.695
Lest you sorrow as others who have no hope, for we believe that Jesus died and rose again.
00:01:39.695 --> 00:01:45.677
Even so, jesus, god, will bring with him those who keep, who sleep in Jesus.
00:01:45.677 --> 00:01:57.120
So I just wanted to point out here that there's a class of people who have no hope.
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:21.262
Okay, now let's turn to Colossians, the first chapter, which is kind of just a page or two to the left of where you are at the Thessalonians Colossians, chapter 1.
00:02:21.262 --> 00:02:36.421
I'm going to start reading in verse 26.
00:02:36.421 --> 00:02:46.092
The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to his saints.
00:02:46.092 --> 00:03:00.031
Now, you've heard me teach on this many times before, but I want to go back over a little bit of it tonight to lay the foundation for what we're going to talk about.
00:03:01.201 --> 00:03:14.014
There are some things about this new creation that were never revealed to anyone generally.
00:03:14.014 --> 00:03:48.783
There were some people that got glimpses of it specifically, you know, like David, for example, you read in Psalm 16, for I saw the Lord always before me, you know, and the passage of Scripture that comes after that is, you know, david seeing a glimpse of the Christ, and others would see Jesus in his glory, but they really didn't know what they were seeing.
00:03:48.783 --> 00:03:51.570
Like David, in Psalm 24, who is this King of Glory?
00:03:51.570 --> 00:03:56.121
Who is this.
00:03:56.121 --> 00:03:57.243
I can see that he is the Lord mighty in battle.
00:03:57.243 --> 00:03:58.868
He is the Lord, the King of Glory.
00:03:58.868 --> 00:03:59.691
But who is it?
00:03:59.691 --> 00:04:02.643
Amen?
00:04:03.325 --> 00:04:15.485
There was so much of what the second creation or the new creation that was not shown to men in the old creation.
00:04:15.485 --> 00:04:33.088
I want to say something real clearly here, so you understand where I'm coming from, because part of the mystery that was not revealed to those that were before Jesus was the fact that we were spirits that existed before anything else.
00:04:33.088 --> 00:04:42.586
That revelation was never given to men Really as part of the curse of Adam's sin.
00:04:42.586 --> 00:04:55.572
People were in a delusionary state, thinking that everything has a beginning when I get born and everything has an end when I die, and that's it.
00:04:55.572 --> 00:04:59.262
We have a beginning, we have an end and that's all that there is to life.
00:04:59.944 --> 00:05:02.966
But Jesus came and started to teach something else.
00:05:02.966 --> 00:05:11.396
He started to teach that we were here, we were in him before we got here.
00:05:11.396 --> 00:05:22.399
And then Paul went in to teach that even more, that not only were we in him, but we were crucified with him before the foundation of the earth.
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.767
We were resurrected with him before the foundation of the earth.
00:05:25.767 --> 00:05:26.589
You go well.
00:05:26.589 --> 00:05:29.841
How can those things be Well?
00:05:29.841 --> 00:05:35.213
You can't answer that question with your logic, because it's a mystery.
00:05:35.213 --> 00:05:38.947
That means it is something that God hid.
00:05:38.947 --> 00:05:51.630
How many of you know the scripture in Proverbs 25 that says it is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but it is the honor of kings to search that thing out.
00:05:51.630 --> 00:05:56.850
So God is not unaccustomed to hiding things.
00:05:56.850 --> 00:06:02.831
He will hide things and then entice you to search them out.
00:06:02.831 --> 00:06:05.766
But here's the thing, if you don to search them out.
00:06:05.766 --> 00:06:07.285
But here's the thing If you don't search them out.
00:06:08.762 --> 00:06:10.369
I used to play this game with my dog.
00:06:10.369 --> 00:06:21.031
I never could get the dog to play catch with me because I wouldn't teach the dog correctly.
00:06:21.031 --> 00:06:25.088
My dad always said the dog's never going to bring the ball back because you always go chase after the dog, correctly, you know.
00:06:25.088 --> 00:06:26.273
My dad always said you know you're never going to get.
00:06:26.273 --> 00:06:31.089
You know dog's never going to bring the ball back because you always go chase the chase after the dog to get the ball out of his mouth.
00:06:31.089 --> 00:06:32.596
And the dog thinks that's a.
00:06:32.596 --> 00:06:35.605
That's a more fun game than bringing the ball to you.
00:06:35.605 --> 00:06:46.201
So you've taught him you know, if he just stands out there and waits at your, chase him and then you'll go all around the yard chasing each other, and he likes that more than bringing the ball back.
00:06:46.201 --> 00:06:53.502
And I never did quite learn that out, you know, but but that's the dog never did learn to bring the ball back.
00:06:58.370 --> 00:07:21.507
God's kind of like that when you hide something, you know, if he hides something and then he entices you to seek him to find it, he's not going to chase after you and get you to take the ball, he's going to make you seek it, because that's just the way God is.
00:07:21.507 --> 00:07:27.524
That's just one of the things about God is that when he hides something, you've got to seek it.
00:07:27.524 --> 00:07:32.747
So you know, just because it's now.
00:07:32.747 --> 00:07:43.029
This is where religion misses the boat, because they think that all of a sudden, when Jesus came and you accept Jesus, that everything that was hidden is now revealed.
00:07:43.029 --> 00:07:51.550
Well, they may think that, but that's not clearly the case, because there's a lot of things they don't know, amen.
00:07:51.550 --> 00:08:08.043
But if they dug and sought after things, they would find out some things that are part of the revelation of this new covenant, but they are still hidden to those that will not seek after them.
00:08:08.043 --> 00:08:11.589
Now watch what Paul says here, verse 27,.
00:08:11.589 --> 00:08:19.605
He says to them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery.
00:08:19.605 --> 00:08:34.230
So there are mysteries, and I would say this that all of the mysteries of the new covenant, of the new creation, are in a place called the riches of glory.
00:08:34.230 --> 00:08:36.740
By Christ Jesus, amen.
00:08:36.740 --> 00:08:37.400
That's a place.
00:08:37.400 --> 00:08:47.956
It's a place in God where he has everything that is available for you in the new creation, stored and ready to give to you.
00:08:47.956 --> 00:08:52.230
But you have to seek it out.
00:08:52.230 --> 00:08:59.371
He's just not going to dump it on you and he's certainly not going to dump it on you if you're not spiritually prepared to receive it.
00:08:59.371 --> 00:09:05.471
So part of the process of seeking is getting you spiritually prepared for something.
00:09:06.421 --> 00:09:12.293
There's this one lady in Sister Martin's church that I mean I've been.
00:09:12.293 --> 00:09:16.145
She comes up.
00:09:16.145 --> 00:09:17.750
I want you to pray for me.
00:09:17.750 --> 00:09:21.431
I look at her and I said is it about the same thing?
00:09:21.431 --> 00:09:22.884
Yeah, it's about that.
00:09:22.884 --> 00:09:27.450
She always wants a husband and she wants me to pray for her to get a husband.
00:09:27.450 --> 00:09:30.226
Same thing, time after time.
00:09:30.226 --> 00:09:34.331
She finally got one that she thought she was going to marry.
00:09:34.331 --> 00:09:36.567
I said that's not the one for you.
00:09:36.567 --> 00:09:47.811
She got mad, but she did marry him and so now every time she wants me to pray.
00:09:47.811 --> 00:09:55.028
So I stopped for a second and heard what the Lord said and I said you know what we're going to pray for.
00:09:55.028 --> 00:10:02.259
I said we're going to pray for you to get spiritually prepared to receive your new husband.
00:10:02.259 --> 00:10:22.706
To receive your new husband, because you know, I could, I knew from what the Lord was telling me that that wasn't even close to being the case, that, you know, she was just looking for somebody to whisk her away into never, never land and uh, which, probably, considering where they live, that probably wasn't going to happen, and uh.
00:10:22.706 --> 00:10:30.018
But what she really needed to be was be spiritually prepared for the one that God would bring her.
00:10:30.018 --> 00:10:35.039
Amen, hallelujah.
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.416
Probably not over there.
00:10:39.416 --> 00:10:42.116
No, probably never get past the gate.
00:10:47.734 --> 00:10:55.821
So God is willing to make known these riches, but there's a seeking that has to come after it.
00:10:55.821 --> 00:11:09.583
There's a seeking that has to go with it and in the seeking will come a preparation so that the ones that God deems that you're ready for, he'll give it to you.
00:11:09.583 --> 00:11:11.014
He'll reveal them to you.
00:11:11.014 --> 00:11:13.015
If you're not, you won't.
00:11:13.015 --> 00:11:20.293
Okay, and you've got to keep on seeking, keep on knocking, keep on asking and you'll keep on.
00:11:20.293 --> 00:11:22.480
The door will keep on being open.
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.135
He'll keep on telling you, he'll keep on giving them to you.
00:11:26.772 --> 00:11:29.759
You can't listen, you can't exhaust the riches in glory.
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:31.222
It's impossible.
00:11:31.222 --> 00:11:41.416
They're infinite, they're yours, they're just waiting up there to be laid hold of by faith and by patience.
00:11:41.416 --> 00:11:43.321
And get a hold of them.
00:11:43.321 --> 00:11:45.533
Are you ready?
00:11:45.533 --> 00:11:46.979
Do you understand what I'm saying?
00:11:46.979 --> 00:11:49.272
Now?
00:11:49.272 --> 00:11:49.953
This is how.
00:11:49.953 --> 00:11:51.980
Listen to me very carefully.
00:11:54.373 --> 00:12:02.120
I don't want to discourage you and I don't want you to misunderstand what I'm saying, but this is how the New Testament works.
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:13.250
See, we've been taught that you learn you learn the new testament by reading the new testament.
00:12:13.250 --> 00:12:35.035
But what you learn when you read the new testament is that there's some things that you have to knock and ask and seek for, and that only by asking, knocking and seeking do you get what God wants to give you.
00:12:35.035 --> 00:12:37.576
Because God's just that way.
00:12:37.576 --> 00:12:39.019
I don't know why.
00:12:39.019 --> 00:12:43.038
Why does God love everybody unconditionally?
00:12:43.038 --> 00:12:44.033
Why does he do that?
00:12:44.033 --> 00:12:45.918
I don't know, I wouldn't do that, but he does.
00:12:45.918 --> 00:12:51.130
Why does he make these things have to be sought after?
00:12:51.130 --> 00:12:52.974
Why didn't he just give it to you?
00:12:52.974 --> 00:12:57.601
I don't know.
00:12:57.601 --> 00:12:59.190
I don't know the answer to that.
00:12:59.190 --> 00:13:07.124
I can guess what the answer is, but I'll probably be 99% wrong because it just pleases him.
00:13:07.124 --> 00:13:13.865
Percent wrong, you know, because it just pleases him.
00:13:13.865 --> 00:13:14.226
Hallelujah.
00:13:19.710 --> 00:13:21.936
You need to understand that about God, because if you don't understand that about God, you will, you will.
00:13:21.936 --> 00:13:24.501
You will trick yourself into thinking you know more about God than you really do.
00:13:24.501 --> 00:13:29.443
You will trick yourself into thinking that you know.
00:13:29.443 --> 00:13:33.761
Well, you know, I've been around this thing for 35, 40 years, 50 years.
00:13:33.761 --> 00:13:35.789
You know I've gone to church every Sunday.
00:13:35.789 --> 00:13:39.321
I've heard all these wonderful messages I've done blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:13:39.321 --> 00:13:51.104
You know, and you'll con yourself into thinking that you really know more about God than you do, because the things that God really wants you to know only come by rigorous seeking.
00:13:51.104 --> 00:13:56.736
He just.
00:13:56.736 --> 00:13:58.399
We're not, you know, it's not one of those.
00:13:58.460 --> 00:14:00.443
I believe I receive enlightenment.
00:14:00.443 --> 00:14:03.210
I believe I receive riches and glory by Christ Jesus.
00:14:03.210 --> 00:14:09.711
I believe I receive, you know, and then all of a sudden it's just dumped into your head and you've got everything God wants you to have.
00:14:09.711 --> 00:14:11.114
It doesn't work that way.
00:14:11.114 --> 00:14:32.510
It's a lot of prayer, it's a lot of separation, it's a lot of study, it's a lot of immersion, it's a lot of being quiet, it's a lot of developing the ability to hear him speak at any time, so that whatever he wants to share with you whenever he decides, you're ready for a rich in glory, amen.
00:14:32.510 --> 00:14:49.578
He's got your attention immediately and he can put it in you and you can walk it out and then it's a part of you, because, at the end of the day, you're not seeking after the riches in glory, you're seeking after the glory.
00:14:49.578 --> 00:14:58.702
You're seeking after the one who is the glory and by seeking after him, he will give you the riches that are in his glory.
00:14:58.702 --> 00:15:02.958
Are you following what I'm saying?
00:15:02.958 --> 00:15:04.975
Is that right?
00:15:04.975 --> 00:15:12.759
Because if we seek like that, that we're showing that we do have an interest in his heart.
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:19.701
That's one of the things, yeah, yeah, that you're interested in the things he's interested in.
00:15:19.929 --> 00:15:23.346
Getting in the middle of it and not what's to stay on the outside Right.
00:15:23.346 --> 00:15:37.557
Getting in the middle of it, getting in deep, getting things that other people aren't willing to do, other people aren't willing to pay the price, but you're willing to pay the price.
00:15:37.557 --> 00:15:38.754
God honors that.
00:15:38.754 --> 00:15:42.017
God honors sacrifice.
00:15:42.017 --> 00:15:45.235
You don't believe that?
00:15:45.235 --> 00:15:52.913
Then you need to read the books of the law and see how much God honored sacrifice under that system, and that system had no life in it.
00:15:52.913 --> 00:16:04.063
What do you think he's going to do in a sacrificial system that requires you as a living sacrifice, hallelujah.
00:16:05.270 --> 00:16:13.582
So this mystery we're about to talk about was hidden forever.
00:16:13.582 --> 00:16:23.009
Nobody knew about it, nobody could see it coming, except for a very you know, isaiah saw it in the day of his ministry.
00:16:23.009 --> 00:16:31.904
You know, you read Isaiah 53, and it's a pinpoint, precise description of what Jesus went through getting to Calvary.
00:16:31.904 --> 00:16:34.116
Psalm 22, david saw it.
00:16:34.116 --> 00:16:39.581
Psalm 22 is the most precise prophecy concerning the crucifixion.
00:16:39.581 --> 00:16:51.565
Some saw it, but the mysteries concerning it were not yet revealed to them.
00:16:51.565 --> 00:16:53.414
Do you understand what I'm saying?
00:16:53.414 --> 00:16:59.722
But God has willed them to be revealed and make them known.
00:16:59.722 --> 00:17:21.557
And this is the core mystery of all mysteries, and we've talked about this last time when we talked about that we have this hidden treasure, the ministry of glory in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the glory of God might be of Him and not of us.
00:17:21.557 --> 00:17:43.461
So here Paul's saying it again, and he says this that the riches of the glory, of this mystery among the Gentiles which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
00:17:44.803 --> 00:17:47.513
Now, just take that word hope and translate it almost anywhere.
00:17:47.513 --> 00:17:49.542
You can take that word hope and translate it almost anywhere you can take.
00:17:49.542 --> 00:17:57.142
Take that word hope and translate it into the earnest expectation or the earnest and fervent expectation.
00:17:57.142 --> 00:17:59.071
It's not wishful thinking.
00:17:59.071 --> 00:18:01.915
It is a earnest expectation.
00:18:01.915 --> 00:18:16.222
You know that, like I said, there are some that have no hope and then there are others that have an earnest expectation that the glory of Jesus is going to be manifested in them.
00:18:16.222 --> 00:18:26.477
And the question the Holy Ghost put in my heart tonight for you is where is your hope and what are you hoping for?
00:18:29.250 --> 00:18:37.919
You know, I mean, some people, you know, hope their kids are going to go to college and have a good profession and a good life.
00:18:37.919 --> 00:18:42.340
And some people are hoping that they get season tickets for the Cowboys games.
00:18:42.340 --> 00:18:44.890
And some people are hoping that, you know, they get a promotion.
00:18:44.890 --> 00:18:50.116
And some people are hoping that the dog doesn't die and some people are hoping you dog doesn't die.
00:18:50.116 --> 00:18:51.603
And some people are hoping for who knows what.
00:18:51.603 --> 00:18:54.762
People are hoping for all kinds of stuff.
00:18:54.762 --> 00:18:57.394
How many people, you know, are hoping to hit the lottery?
00:18:57.394 --> 00:19:12.134
They might as well stand on top of a lightning rod with a piece of metal in their hand, because it's more likely that they're going to get hit by lightning than they will by winning the lottery.
00:19:12.134 --> 00:19:23.634
Oh really, god, I mean, you know, but you people that don't have any money, you know, that's their, that's their number one hope.
00:19:23.634 --> 00:19:25.016
I hope we hit the lottery this week.
00:19:25.016 --> 00:19:27.454
Oh, hit the lottery this week.
00:19:27.454 --> 00:19:31.093
We wouldn't know what to do with it.
00:19:31.093 --> 00:19:36.123
If you did hit it, all you're going to be is be twice as broke as you are now because you lost more money.
00:19:37.369 --> 00:19:48.684
Glory to God, the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
00:19:48.684 --> 00:19:54.173
I've said this before, I'm going to say it again Nobody saw this one coming.
00:19:54.173 --> 00:20:08.988
Nobody saw the God that created the heavens and the earth, that his ultimate purpose was to come and live in men.
00:20:08.988 --> 00:20:11.912
Nobody saw this coming.
00:20:11.912 --> 00:20:12.394
Nobody saw this coming.
00:20:12.394 --> 00:20:13.819
If Adam had seen this coming, he wouldn't have sinned.
00:20:13.819 --> 00:20:24.593
But as far as Adam was concerned, god just showed up every once in a while in the garden and he'd walk and hang out with him, and then he'd disappear.
00:20:24.593 --> 00:20:41.862
And when he disappeared, you don't know how long this went on when he'd disappear, adam had the run of the place, you know, and he had the authority of God behind him to run it, and everybody, including all the animals, knew that.
00:20:41.862 --> 00:20:46.857
And so when Adam showed up to them, it was just like God showing up.
00:20:46.857 --> 00:20:49.473
You're not getting any of this.
00:20:49.473 --> 00:20:52.261
And God and Adam.
00:20:52.261 --> 00:20:57.542
When God wasn't there was the highest authority around.
00:20:57.542 --> 00:21:10.913
So when God wasn't there and the serpent started talking and started to say things that were contrary to what God said, adam see, this is.
00:21:10.913 --> 00:21:19.242
This is I'm getting off the subject, but this is why the sin belongs to Adam and it doesn't belong to Eve.
00:21:19.971 --> 00:21:22.779
The Bible said that Eve was deceived, but Adam sinned.
00:21:22.779 --> 00:21:25.895
What was the difference?
00:21:25.895 --> 00:21:31.480
Because she was the one that took the first bite, but she wasn't in charge.
00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:37.938
She wasn't the one who represented God to the rest of the creation.
00:21:37.938 --> 00:21:41.698
She was there to help him.
00:21:41.698 --> 00:21:48.960
Now, this isn't going to fly very good in today's feminist society, but that's too bad.
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:57.513
The fact of the matter is, adam was created first and he was given the authority and the dominion and Eve was given to him.
00:21:57.513 --> 00:22:02.778
Right, that's what the Bible says.
00:22:02.778 --> 00:22:05.578
You don't have to agree with it or not, but that's what the Bible says.
00:22:06.352 --> 00:22:15.980
So when Eve believed the serpent and his lies and ate of the fruit, amen, the Bible says she was just deceived.
00:22:15.980 --> 00:23:03.795
She should have known better, and had she known better, things might've turned out different, but the fact of the matter is that the way that she fell out of faith in believing God's word was not even close to the same as what happened to Adam, because when Adam chose to not believe God, it was not because the devil had deceived him, but because he willfully chose to go against what God had told him, just because he wanted to accommodate the woman and because he was deceived into thinking I am the dominion person here, I can do whatever I want.
00:23:03.795 --> 00:23:20.237
Until he took that bite and all of a sudden everything changed Sin entered, death entered, nakedness entered, everything changed and he realized I just messed up.
00:23:20.237 --> 00:23:26.813
See, you don't know, we just think that Adam was the first one like us.
00:23:26.813 --> 00:23:29.186
But Adam was not like us.
00:23:29.186 --> 00:23:42.034
Adam was made, we were born, and Adam was made to be the image of God on the planet.
00:23:42.034 --> 00:23:48.452
When death came and sin came, that all changed and he became like us.
00:23:48.452 --> 00:23:55.548
But the image of God was so strong upon him it took 930 years for him to die.
00:23:55.548 --> 00:24:00.150
Just think about that.
00:24:00.150 --> 00:24:14.528
I mean, the glory of the Lord that was on Moses disappeared in a few days, but yet it was strong enough to say that his eyesight was not dimmed and his strength was not feeble.
00:24:14.528 --> 00:24:17.481
Amen, even though he was what?
00:24:17.481 --> 00:24:21.653
120 years old?
00:24:21.653 --> 00:24:26.607
Yeah, he was 40 years old when he left Egypt.
00:24:26.607 --> 00:24:30.026
He was 80 years old when the Lord showed up and had another 40 on to that.
00:24:30.026 --> 00:24:45.059
Before he died he was 120 years old, but his eyesight had not dimmed and his strength had not been abated because he had been spending time with God, and who knows how long he would have lived had not God taken him.
00:24:46.423 --> 00:24:50.211
But the point of all this is the fact that Adam.
00:24:50.211 --> 00:25:04.155
There were things that Adam knew, but he didn't know this, and had he known this, it would have been different.
00:25:04.155 --> 00:25:05.240
Amen, god revealed this.
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:05.844
Listen to me.
00:25:05.844 --> 00:25:07.855
God revealed this to some people.
00:25:07.855 --> 00:25:09.381
You want to know how different it was.
00:25:09.381 --> 00:25:16.948
Enoch just walked off the planet After he saw this revelation.
00:25:16.948 --> 00:25:20.409
The Bible says he no longer saw death.
00:25:20.409 --> 00:25:23.246
How did he not see death?
00:25:23.246 --> 00:25:26.740
Because he saw the resurrection, job.
00:25:27.544 --> 00:25:29.068
How did Job go through all of that?
00:25:29.068 --> 00:25:30.964
Because he'd seen the resurrection.
00:25:30.964 --> 00:25:31.928
How do I know that?
00:25:31.928 --> 00:25:35.689
Because he said I know that my Redeemer lives.
00:25:35.689 --> 00:25:41.162
Now he's just not talking about that.
00:25:41.162 --> 00:25:43.227
I know my Redeemer lives.
00:25:43.227 --> 00:25:49.171
In the day that I am in right now, he'd seen the Lord already buried and resurrected.
00:25:49.171 --> 00:25:55.848
He said I know my Redeemer lives and I know I'm going to see him Because he'd already seen him.
00:25:55.848 --> 00:26:01.067
Praise God, hallelujah.
00:26:02.201 --> 00:26:15.074
But there's nobody that could see this coming, that God literally listen to me very carefully wanted to change the rules of the game.
00:26:15.074 --> 00:26:25.028
This whole creation that we sit in right now is one that God sits outside of.
00:26:25.028 --> 00:26:30.095
He's not in it, he's outside of it.
00:26:30.095 --> 00:26:40.423
He only touches this creation with his word.
00:26:40.423 --> 00:26:40.946
Are you getting anything?
00:26:40.946 --> 00:26:45.243
Forget all this new age stuff that God's in the trees and God's in the stars and God's in the bushes and God's in this and God's in that.
00:26:45.243 --> 00:26:48.571
That's pantheism and a whole bunch of other fancy names.
00:26:49.901 --> 00:26:54.539
But you can boil it down to this that in the way we believe, god is outside of that creation.
00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:02.244
00:00:02.244 --> 00:00:04.891
00:00:04.891 --> 00:00:12.571
00:00:12.571 --> 00:00:24.047
00:00:24.047 --> 00:00:39.049
00:00:39.049 --> 00:00:52.609
00:00:55.481 --> 00:01:06.921
00:01:06.921 --> 00:01:10.444
00:01:10.444 --> 00:01:22.088
00:01:22.088 --> 00:01:26.510
00:01:26.510 --> 00:01:32.712
00:01:32.712 --> 00:01:39.695
00:01:39.695 --> 00:01:45.677
00:01:45.677 --> 00:01:57.120
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:21.262
00:02:21.262 --> 00:02:36.421
00:02:36.421 --> 00:02:46.092
00:02:46.092 --> 00:03:00.031
00:03:01.201 --> 00:03:14.014
00:03:14.014 --> 00:03:48.783
00:03:48.783 --> 00:03:51.570
00:03:51.570 --> 00:03:56.121
00:03:56.121 --> 00:03:57.243
00:03:57.243 --> 00:03:58.868
00:03:58.868 --> 00:03:59.691
00:03:59.691 --> 00:04:02.643
00:04:03.325 --> 00:04:15.485
00:04:15.485 --> 00:04:33.088
00:04:33.088 --> 00:04:42.586
00:04:42.586 --> 00:04:55.572
00:04:55.572 --> 00:04:59.262
00:04:59.944 --> 00:05:02.966
00:05:02.966 --> 00:05:11.396
00:05:11.396 --> 00:05:22.399

00:05:38.947 --> 00:05:51.630
00:05:51.630 --> 00:05:56.850
00:05:56.850 --> 00:06:02.831
00:06:02.831 --> 00:06:05.766
00:06:05.766 --> 00:06:07.285
