S3E2. The Image of God in You – 2

Speaker A 00:00:01 Did you bring your Bible with you tonight? Speaker A 00:00:04 Good. Speaker A 00:00:04 Open it to the Gospel of John. Speaker A 00:00:07 We've been reading from the very first chapter of John. Speaker A 00:00:11 So let's turn there again tonight and we'll read our scripture that God is teaching us from John, Chapter one, verse one. Speaker A 00:00:20 And tonight I want us to read on down, if they the full first 14 verses. Speaker A 00:00:29 So turn your religious head off and turn your active head on. Speaker A 00:00:35 You know what I mean by that reason? Speaker A 00:00:37 You get shook when you read your newspapers because you believe all that stuff's going to happen to you. Speaker A 00:00:42 Now if you begin to read your Bible the way you do your newspaper and begin to believe all this stuff's going to happen to you. Speaker A 00:00:49 You get a little shook over this, I'll tell you. Speaker A 00:00:51 You get a bunch shook over it for it's over with. Speaker A 00:00:54 So turn all your religious head off and turn your action head on. Speaker A 00:00:58 Let's read the Word of God. Speaker A 00:01:00 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Speaker A 00:01:05 The same was in the beginning with God. Speaker A 00:01:08 All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made. Speaker A 00:01:13 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. Speaker A 00:01:17 And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. Speaker A 00:01:22 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. Speaker A 00:01:26 The same came for a witness to bear witness of the light that all men through him might believe. Speaker A 00:01:32 He was not that light, but was sent to bear witness of that light that was the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. Speaker A 00:01:42 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. Speaker A 00:01:47 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Speaker A 00:01:51 But as many as received him, to them gave he power, or gave him the right or the privilege to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name, which were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Speaker A 00:02:11 Now I think I need to show you something about that verse right there that you need to realize. Speaker A 00:02:18 Which were born not of the blood of men, nor of the will of the flesh of men, nor of the will of man, but of the blood of God, and of the will of God, and of the flesh of God. Speaker A 00:02:33 See, that's the way that Scripture is laid out. Speaker A 00:02:35 And sometimes you miss part of that if you don't really stop and meditate on that a little bit. Speaker A 00:02:40 And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Speaker A 00:02:55 Now, how could a thing like that be? Speaker A 00:02:57 How could the word take upon itself flesh and dwell among men? Speaker A 00:03:03 All right, this is what we're going to talk about tonight. Speaker A 00:03:06 And we're gonna. Speaker A 00:03:06 We're gonna study this enough that when you leave here tonight, you should have a positive inner concept of the very picture, at least a working part of it that's inside the heart of God. Speaker A 00:03:22 Concerning the words that we've just read and how it works and why it worked and why God went at it the way he did. Speaker A 00:03:29 God had the image of this planet and so forth, like we talked about last night on. Speaker A 00:03:37 On the inside of him. Speaker A 00:03:39 And he framed, like we read in Hebrews 11, he. Speaker A 00:03:44 He created the worlds by faith, but he framed that image that was in him. Speaker A 00:03:51 The Bible said by the word of God, in other words, the image that was inside him. Speaker A 00:03:57 He took words that paint the picture of that image, filled them with faith and released them. Speaker A 00:04:04 And from that the heavens and the earth were created. Speaker A 00:04:11 Now, he then stepped onto the earth and he created a man's body from the dust of the earth. Speaker A 00:04:27 Now follow what I'm saying to you here because some of you going to learn more about spiritual things in the next five minutes than you've learned in the last. Speaker A 00:04:34 I don't know, maybe last 20 years actually. Speaker A 00:04:40 If you could read. Speaker A 00:04:41 If you could read Hebrew. Speaker A 00:04:43 I can't read it either, but I can read a concordance. Speaker A 00:04:46 And I found out, and sometimes I wish I could, but I can speak it, but I don't know what I said and I have to talk in tongues when I do. Speaker A 00:04:57 Oh, when necessary, I can speak it. Speaker A 00:04:59 I can do all things in Christ who strengtheneth me. Speaker A 00:05:03 Well, the reason I say that, because I know of two different times I sang in Hebrew and somebody interpreted it and there was people there that understood and spoke the language. Speaker A 00:05:12 And they said, well, my God, I don't. Speaker A 00:05:14 Whoever that was interpreted what he said. Speaker A 00:05:17 I understood it while he was singing it. Speaker A 00:05:19 Praise the Lord. Speaker A 00:05:21 But you see, if you knew how to handle that language, you would see that in Genesis 1, when the Bible said God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning. Speaker A 00:05:36 That's the reason that book is called Genesis. Speaker A 00:05:38 The law of Genesis was the law of beginnings. Speaker A 00:05:42 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Speaker A 00:05:48 Now you don't find that same word created and the same usage of that word anymore. Speaker A 00:06:00 And that word that's used there, God created the heavens and the earth leaves the. Speaker A 00:06:07 It's it's word that leaves the, the knowledge and the idea that when God created the heavens and the earth, there was no material already in existence from which he could work to bring it into existence. Speaker A 00:06:25 Now, the Bible said, you know, that he created man in his own image, but it's a different word, creation, because you see, he already had the dust of the earth to start with. Speaker A 00:06:35 In other words, he had a. Speaker A 00:06:36 He, he had a beginning substance to start with when he made man out of that dust of the earth. Speaker A 00:06:42 You following what I'm saying here? Speaker A 00:06:44 He leaves the idea he made the heavens and the earth with nothing to start with. Speaker A 00:06:48 Well, now we find over in the book of Hebrews, in the 11th chapter, you see that actually there was something there to start with. Speaker A 00:06:56 There was something there to work with. Speaker A 00:07:00 He didn't make the heavens and the earth out of nothing. Speaker A 00:07:03 He made it out of the substance of faith. Speaker A 00:07:05 Hebrew 11:1, you see, says now faith is the substance of things hoped for. Speaker A 00:07:09 It is the evidence of things not seen. Speaker A 00:07:11 And in the third verse it said, all things which are seen were made by the word of God. Speaker A 00:07:19 The worlds were framed and made by the word of God, by faith out of something which does not appear. Speaker A 00:07:27 It didn't say, it was out of absolute nothing. Speaker A 00:07:29 It just out of something you couldn't see. Speaker A 00:07:33 The force of faith was the parent force to everything that's in this earth. Speaker A 00:07:40 Everything. Speaker A 00:07:41 And just as a side thought there, I mean, if faith was the parent force, if faith was the parent force of the wood that that pulpit's made out of, and it was God's faith was released when he said, let there be light, see? Speaker A 00:08:00 And he created out of that the heavens and the earth. Speaker A 00:08:03 Well, you see this piece of wood here, if you just kept backing up and backing up, you'd finally wind up on the inside of God to finally find the apparent force, wouldn't you? Speaker A 00:08:13 That's where you'd finally wind up. Speaker A 00:08:15 You'd go back, you'd go from this back to, you know, to a tree, back to a seed, back to a tree, back to a seed, back to a tree, back to a seed, back to a tree, back to a seed, back to a tree, back to a seed, to the ground, and you'd finally wind up on the inside of God because that's where that pulpit started. Speaker A 00:08:32 In fact, everything you can see, that's where it started. Speaker A 00:08:36 Everything there is, everything that's perceptible to the touch, that's where it started, was in the heart of God. Speaker A 00:08:41 And the apparent force that brought it into Existence was the faith of God. Speaker A 00:08:47 Well now, if that was the apparent force for everything that can be seen, and I refer you again to Hebrews 11:3, because that's what it says. Speaker A 00:08:57 All things which are seen, it says was made out of something which does not appear. Speaker A 00:09:03 But was the faith of God. Speaker A 00:09:05 Well alright, if that was the original parent force, would it be too unreasonable or too out of line to assume that? Speaker A 00:09:16 If that was the parent force of everything that can be seen, including the physical bodies of men, would it be too far out of line to assume that it would still respond to the same force? Speaker A 00:09:28 Well, certainly it will respond to the same force. Speaker A 00:09:31 Faith was the parent force to begin with. Speaker A 00:09:33 And everything you can see will respond to it. Speaker A 00:09:36 If it's applied to it. Speaker A 00:09:37 Mountains will respond to it and trees will respond to it. Speaker A 00:09:40 We know, we know physical bodies will respond to it. Speaker A 00:09:44 We know fish will respond to it. Speaker A 00:09:46 For you see, Jesus controlled the fish with his faith. Speaker A 00:09:49 He controlled the wind and the sea with his faith. Speaker A 00:09:52 He. Speaker A 00:09:52 He controlled a tree with his face. Speaker A 00:09:53 One fig tree died. Speaker A 00:09:55 And he said, if you have the faith of God, you say to that tree there, be plucked up and it will obey you. Speaker A 00:10:01 And he said, whosoever shall say unto that mountain, be thou removed. Speaker A 00:10:06 Well see, mountains and trees and fish will apply to it. Speaker A 00:10:09 And he turned around to the woman with issue of blood and said, you, faith made your body whole, so the body will respond to it, won't it? Speaker A 00:10:17 Well, certainly. Speaker A 00:10:20 All right, now follow me carefully here. Speaker A 00:10:26 This force has come out from the inside of God. Speaker A 00:10:32 Okay, God's come along here and ain't got a planet. Speaker A 00:10:37 And there's a lot of different things that have happened there. Speaker A 00:10:40 But now there's a, there is this situation where the Bible said he created man. Speaker A 00:10:46 But, but you see, actually what he created out of the dust of the earth was the body of a man. Speaker A 00:10:55 And I, you know, I'd never really stopped thinking about that much until one afternoon in prayer, the Lord just showed me a quick vision of it and changed my inner concept of what he did there that day. Speaker A 00:11:06 He straightened out my thinking is what he did. Speaker A 00:11:09 And I saw it in my spirit just as plain. Speaker A 00:11:12 I saw him make that guy and he was holding him by the shoulders. Speaker A 00:11:17 And for the first time I realized that that body was a dead thing. Speaker A 00:11:21 It was just a hunk of meat and bone. Speaker A 00:11:23 Now it was all shaped right, but it was kind of a grayish looking color, dead looking, you know, pasty looking thing. Speaker A 00:11:31 It just really actually had no color to it at all. Speaker A 00:11:35 Just hunk of meat. Speaker A 00:11:38 And I realized if he'd have turned it loose. Speaker A 00:11:41 In fact, the Lord said to me that when he showed me that, he said, see, if I let it go, he'd just fall to the ground. Speaker A 00:11:46 Wasn't any life in it. Speaker A 00:11:48 But he said, now you read the word in Genesis 1 and I'll show you something. Speaker A 00:11:51 Well, I jerked my Bible open there and it says, and he breathed the breath of life into him. Speaker A 00:12:05 Now where does life come from? Speaker A 00:12:08 From the inside of God. Speaker A 00:12:11 From the inside of God. Speaker A 00:12:14 And the Lord said, this is what I wanted you to see from my word. Speaker A 00:12:17 He said, this is the reason I wrote it that way, that I breathed it into him. Speaker A 00:12:22 And when I was watching it, see, God showed me a vision of it. Speaker A 00:12:25 And he took the guy by the head and put his mouth over his mouth and created the inner man, put the life in him. Speaker A 00:12:33 Praise God. Speaker A 00:12:34 Then he turned him loose. Speaker A 00:12:35 And that old boy looked good, man. Speaker A 00:12:37 I mean, he full of life, you know, moving around. Speaker A 00:12:40 Praise God. Speaker A 00:12:42 Alright, now things are functioning, you see. Speaker A 00:12:44 And God has put into motion a law. Speaker A 00:12:48 And I like to call it the law of Genesis. Speaker A 00:12:51 It's the law of beginnings. Speaker A 00:12:53 And it has never ever been changed. Speaker A 00:12:59 It's still in operation. Speaker A 00:13:01 And it operates in the physical world, it operates in the intellectual world, and it operates in the spiritual world. Speaker A 00:13:09 And that law of Genesis is simple in its basic fundamental function is the simple fact that like things produce like things. Speaker A 00:13:18 Now, the dust of the earth produced a flesh, physical body. Speaker A 00:13:23 In fact, your body today has exactly the same mineral content to it that dirt does. Speaker A 00:13:29 And when you take the life out of it, it'll decay and go right back to dirt. Speaker A 00:13:33 Know that. Speaker A 00:13:35 But now you see, God is a spirit. Speaker A 00:13:38 And when he created a man to put inside the body, the man was a spirit. Speaker A 00:13:46 And spiritual things beget spiritual things and takes spiritual food to feed the spiritual man. Speaker A 00:13:57 It takes intellectual food to feed the mental man. Speaker A 00:14:00 And it takes physical food to feed the physical man. Speaker A 00:14:04 Isn't that right? Speaker A 00:14:06 Well, I found out one of the most beautiful parts about it is that you see physical bodies produce physical people. Speaker A 00:14:14 But did you know you can cause spiritual birth to come into existence? Speaker A 00:14:18 I mean, you can take a man and feed him the words of life and have a new spirit born baby right in front of you. Speaker A 00:14:24 In the name of Jesus, that's the truth. Speaker A 00:14:30 And this law of Genesis, you see, says that apples produce apples and, and oranges produce oranges. Speaker A 00:14:37 You can't plant corn and get donuts. Speaker A 00:14:39 There's not any way. Speaker A 00:14:40 It just, it won't work. Speaker A 00:14:42 Now, you see, you can alter the seed. Speaker A 00:14:45 You could graph other things in there, you can alter the seed, but it always reproduces the alteration that, right. Speaker A 00:14:53 If you cross persimmons and something else, you're going to get what the something else and the persimmons produce. Speaker A 00:15:03 You don't get half a tree of persimmons and half a tree of the plums or whatever it was. Speaker A 00:15:08 I mean, it is now a mixture. Speaker A 00:15:10 But the law of Genesis says that once the seed has been mixed, that seed will always produce the mixture. Speaker A 00:15:17 So the law of Genesis was working, wasn't it? Speaker A 00:15:19 All right, now here's God. Speaker A 00:15:20 You see, he created this thing. Speaker A 00:15:22 Everything down there came from the inside of God. Speaker A 00:15:26 It was responding to the inside of God. Speaker A 00:15:29 Everything was working by the force of faith. Speaker A 00:15:31 Everything was operating that way. Speaker A 00:15:34 But there was something that took place that altered the situation, that didn't alter the law of Genesis. Speaker A 00:15:41 Actually, Satan used it very much like a person would use the basic laws of the martial arts in judo or karate, any of these things. Speaker A 00:15:55 You use the law, the basic law of leverage and weights. Speaker A 00:16:01 And when a big man attacks a little man, if he knows how to do it, he can use the big man's weight on the big man. Speaker A 00:16:10 He can cause a displacement of that man's weight to be his own downfall. Speaker A 00:16:15 Now, Satan moved in to do this. Speaker A 00:16:19 See, Satan had no right. Speaker A 00:16:21 He's already fallen from God. Speaker A 00:16:23 He had no power. Speaker A 00:16:24 He's a spiritual outlaw and no place to run. Speaker A 00:16:29 He'd had it when he approached Adam. Speaker A 00:16:33 He had no world, he had no dominion. Speaker A 00:16:35 The only people he had any authority over was, were the ones that had separated themselves unto him already at something like probably a third of the heavenly hosts and the demon spirits. Speaker A 00:16:49 And that's the only authority he had. Speaker A 00:16:50 And they were just all evidently homeless and running in that dry place seeking rest and finding none. Speaker A 00:16:58 And he was hunting a domain in order to get a foothold where he could get back at God. Speaker A 00:17:02 He had no way to get back at it. Speaker A 00:17:04 Well, here was the law of Genesis in operation. Speaker A 00:17:07 And what Satan was going to try to do was get his hands on that law. Speaker A 00:17:12 He. Speaker A 00:17:12 He didn't in no way he could alter the thing. Speaker A 00:17:15 It's a law, man. Speaker A 00:17:16 You don't alter laws. Speaker A 00:17:18 They work. Speaker A 00:17:20 You just get them to work in the direction you want them to work in. Speaker A 00:17:24 See, he can't alter the laws of physics, but he can tamper with those that, that are involved with the law of physics. Speaker A 00:17:33 He can tamper with you and get you to get out of Line with those laws and then make those laws work against. Speaker A 00:17:39 You see there? Speaker A 00:17:41 If. Speaker A 00:17:41 If he could. Speaker A 00:17:42 If he could alter the laws of physics. Speaker A 00:17:44 He'd crash every airplanes in the sky tonight. Speaker A 00:17:46 He'd kill everybody on the face of the earth. Speaker A 00:17:49 But he can't do that now. Speaker A 00:17:51 He's been going around some folks saying that he can. Speaker A 00:17:54 But he's a liar. Speaker A 00:17:55 He can't do that. Speaker A 00:17:57 If he could, he'd already done it. Speaker A 00:17:59 Pardon me. Speaker A 00:17:59 I guarantee you that he wouldn't have waited this long. Speaker A 00:18:04 So what did he have to do? Speaker A 00:18:05 He had to have some way of getting in there. Speaker A 00:18:07 So that he could get those laws to function for him and against man. Speaker A 00:18:11 God made the laws to function for him and for man. Speaker A 00:18:15 But now he's after man. Speaker A 00:18:17 He's trying to kill him. Speaker A 00:18:17 Because he's between he and God now and the position that he wants to make. Speaker A 00:18:21 So he makes a deal with Adam. Speaker A 00:18:27 First thing he did was hoodwink the guy's wife. Speaker A 00:18:31 That's been going on ever since. Speaker A 00:18:34 I'm serious. Speaker A 00:18:35 It'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. Speaker A 00:18:38 But that's been going on ever since. Speaker A 00:18:41 And don't you guys get the idea that Adam was off at work somewhere when all this happened. Speaker A 00:18:47 And if he'd have been there, been different Tuffy. Speaker A 00:18:54 He was there, standing right there by her side. Speaker A 00:19:00 And he led her. Speaker A 00:19:01 You see, actually, Adam had passed the physical test that was put before him. Speaker A 00:19:08 He managed that garden well enough. Speaker A 00:19:11 And managed his physical affairs so well that he wasn't even aware that he was naked. Speaker A 00:19:16 Can you imagine being so tuned in to God, Meeting your needs according to his riches and glory. Speaker A 00:19:21 That some morning you just get up and go to town without even putting your clothes on. Speaker A 00:19:24 And don't even realize they don't have them on? Speaker A 00:19:27 Well, that's the way the man was operating. Speaker A 00:19:29 That's the way he was functioning. Speaker A 00:19:30 He didn't even know he was naked. Speaker A 00:19:32 He was so aware of God. Speaker A 00:19:34 Well, you see, in his physical life, his tests were passed. Speaker A 00:19:38 He didn't have any problems there. Speaker A 00:19:40 And he came along with a mental and intellectual test in that area. Speaker A 00:19:44 He. Speaker A 00:19:45 He was challenged by God to name not only the animals, but if you'll read the Psalms, you'll find out that he named the stars and that God calls them by his name. Speaker A 00:19:55 He calls each star by its name. Speaker A 00:19:59 Well, now, listen, brother, that's a pretty good lick mentally if you just really stop and think about it. Speaker A 00:20:04 That's a job. Speaker A 00:20:06 There's over half a million bugs. Speaker A 00:20:13 You can't even memorize Them all in a lifetime. Speaker A 00:20:16 Let's name all them little rascals, you know why man. Speaker A 00:20:20 But see, he was faced with this mental test and he passed it. Speaker A 00:20:25 But now when it came time to be faced with a spiritual problem and it wasn't God testing him. Speaker A 00:20:32 God didn't send the devil into the earth. Speaker A 00:20:34 The devil never has been God's school teacher. Speaker A 00:20:38 I don't know where you got the idea that the devil was called of God to teach the church something. Speaker A 00:20:44 The Bible said the Holy Ghost is the teacher of the church. Speaker A 00:20:47 Praise God. Speaker A 00:20:48 Ain't nobody ever commissioned Satan to do that. Speaker A 00:20:51 That's it. Speaker A 00:20:51 As the devil, he don't belong here. Speaker A 00:20:57 Praise the Lord. Speaker A 00:20:59 Well you see what the guy do, he did it all right physically and he came out alright mentally. Speaker A 00:21:03 But when it comes to something spiritually turned over to his wife. Speaker A 00:21:09 Just stood there. Speaker A 00:21:11 Let the poor old girl just get hoodwinked. Speaker A 00:21:14 The Bible said the woman was deceived, but the man was not. Speaker A 00:21:18 And you know, and sure enough what she did, she got the word wrong and added some to it. Speaker A 00:21:25 She said God said we not supposed to eat of that and not even supposed to look at it. Speaker A 00:21:30 And he didn't say that. Speaker A 00:21:31 He didn't say you can't look at that tree like my little boy. Speaker A 00:21:36 Sometime we'd be driving down the road and he'd see a big old sign up there about whiskey or beer or something. Speaker A 00:21:41 He'll say, don't look daddy. Speaker A 00:21:46 Well, not a bad idea, you know, but evidently she'd made up her mind, you know, somewhere down the line that God said we weren't supposed to eat of that. Speaker A 00:21:54 I'm not even going to look at it. Speaker A 00:21:55 Well then she got to believing that is God's word. Speaker A 00:21:58 She got off in there. Speaker A 00:21:59 Old Adam just stood there because the Bible said she turned and gave to eat to her husband with her. Speaker A 00:22:12 He's standing there all the time. Speaker A 00:22:14 She ate the fruit of that tree and turned around and gave it to him. Speaker A 00:22:17 He ate it without even saying a word. Speaker A 00:22:20 Now he's the one that painted that cop out picture to God, you know, like he wasn't there. Speaker A 00:22:26 My wife did that. Speaker A 00:22:28 Well, he's our all time. Speaker A 00:22:30 See, he could have stopped it right then. Speaker A 00:22:32 He could have stopped it. Speaker A 00:22:33 Actually I used to wonder about it. Speaker A 00:22:35 But you see, because it was Adam's authority, God wasn't even holding anything against Eve. Speaker A 00:22:41 It was Adam's transgression that opened the door to sin. Speaker A 00:22:45 Adam could have stopped it even there, you see, and gained forgiveness for her because she was deceived. Speaker A 00:22:51 He Wasn't he? Speaker A 00:22:52 He had his eyes wide open and he could have turned to Satan and said, you don't belong here. Speaker A 00:22:56 Get out of this garden. Speaker A 00:22:58 And what's more, you get off this planet. Speaker A 00:23:01 You don't have no right here. Speaker A 00:23:02 Get. Speaker A 00:23:04 And he'd had to gone and just took his old snake body with him. Speaker A 00:23:10 If I'd have been Adam, I'd have run that snake off right along with him, wouldn't you? Speaker A 00:23:14 We could have done all this time without them snakes if he'd just used his head. Speaker A 00:23:21 Oh, boy. Speaker A 00:23:23 Anyway, what happened when that took place? Speaker A 00:23:30 The life of God. Speaker A 00:23:33 Which is what? Speaker A 00:23:34 Faith. Speaker A 00:23:36 The force of faith is the force of life. Speaker A 00:23:39 That's the name that's on that force is faith was choked out. Speaker A 00:23:47 This man turned to repentance in reverse. Speaker A 00:23:53 He turned from the God of his life and he committed high treason. Speaker A 00:24:00 He bowed his knee to another spirit being. Speaker A 00:24:04 And when he did, that other spirit being became his Lord. Speaker A 00:24:09 Lord really means provider. Speaker A 00:24:13 And he provided for him of his kingdom, death, sickness and hell for an eternal home. Speaker A 00:24:22 And the likeness of this outlaw spirit was injected into the spirit man that God had put in that body. Speaker A 00:24:32 That man was spawned from the inside of God. Speaker A 00:24:35 But now it has had injected in it the force of death, the likeness of Satan. Speaker A 00:24:41 And in doing so, Adam gave to Satan dominion over the earth. Speaker A 00:24:47 See, Adam had dominion over the earth. Speaker A 00:24:49 God said, I give you dominion over the earth. Speaker A 00:24:52 Everything that flies, everything that swims, everything that walks, and everything that creeps. Speaker A 00:24:58 And he said, not only that, but you'll read over in the Psalms that he gave him authority over all the works of his hands, everything he created, he gave Adam authority over. Speaker A 00:25:10 He was God over this planet. Speaker A 00:25:14 He gave it through an act of high treason to God's enemy. Speaker A 00:25:18 Well, now here's God on the outside looking in. Speaker A 00:25:20 He's kind of in the position Satan was just a few minutes ago. Speaker A 00:25:26 Now, how is he going to go back to the dust of the earth and make another man? Speaker A 00:25:30 He don't own the dust of the earth anymore. Speaker A 00:25:34 He gave the earth and all the fullness therein. Speaker A 00:25:37 The Word says to man, how's he gonna do it? Speaker A 00:25:42 He can't. Speaker A 00:25:42 He can't go back into the dust of the earth and create another. Speaker A 00:25:45 The law of Genesis won't allow it. Speaker A 00:25:47 Now, the law that God put into force is now working in the hands of an enemy. Speaker A 00:25:54 And everything that God had in motion here was perverted. Speaker A 00:25:57 The Bible says the whole creation was perverted. Speaker A 00:25:59 And the whole thing groans and travails for the time when. Speaker A 00:26:03 When you can get the curse off of it. Speaker A 00:26:04 That curse is total perversion. Speaker A 00:26:07 Everything was perverted. Speaker A 00:26:08 Where there was once faith is now fear. Speaker A 00:26:11 Fear is ruling the earth. Speaker A 00:26:12 Fear is a spiritual force and it's perverted faith. Speaker A 00:26:16 Fear activates Satan the way faith activates God. Speaker A 00:26:20 You see, the, the common bond between this man and his new God is the bond of fear. Speaker A 00:26:28 Now, first thing he said to God when he. Speaker A 00:26:30 He said, what's been going on here? Speaker A 00:26:33 He said, I was afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid now. Speaker A 00:26:40 His old body became his God. Speaker A 00:26:42 He knew it was there. Speaker A 00:26:44 For the first time in his life, his physical needs were not met. Speaker A 00:26:51 And he found out he had a body. Speaker A 00:26:58 Well, who was it that took it from him? Speaker A 00:27:00 God? Speaker A 00:27:01 No, Satan, his new overlord. Speaker A 00:27:07 Now the law of Genesis is working the other way. Speaker A 00:27:10 Death is producing death. Speaker A 00:27:12 Sin is begetting sin. Speaker A 00:27:14 And nobody can break it. Speaker A 00:27:17 The thing's in operation. Speaker A 00:27:19 This old flesh and the death that's in it is producing the same kind of old dead flesh again. Speaker A 00:27:27 Now how in the world is God going to get in here and stop that thing? Speaker A 00:27:31 It's his law that's producing it. Speaker A 00:27:33 Is he going to come around here and say, well now wait a minute, King's acts. Speaker A 00:27:35 I really didn't mean that. Speaker A 00:27:37 Or is he now? Speaker A 00:27:38 You know, don't get the idea anywhere down the road that Satan stowed his God. Speaker A 00:27:44 Why all God have to do just go like that and that'd be all of him. Speaker A 00:27:47 I mean, just burn him like a cinder. Speaker A 00:27:50 But you see, it's a. Speaker A 00:27:53 That was a cancerous situation. Speaker A 00:27:55 Cancer's not hard to kill. Speaker A 00:28:00 But when you kill the cancer, you kill the man that the thing is attached to. Speaker A 00:28:05 You can take radium and kill cancer in days time, but you burn the guy up that's wearing the cancer. Speaker A 00:28:13 Well now God's got that situation spiritually. Speaker A 00:28:15 See, if he kills the productive force that's lord over his man, then he destroys the man. Speaker A 00:28:26 There had to be a plan of redemption. Speaker A 00:28:30 Break the power so you could get the man and kill the devil. Speaker A 00:28:36 You got to break. Speaker A 00:28:37 You got to break the connection between the man and the cancer. Speaker A 00:28:41 That spiritual cancerous thing that was now God over mankind. Speaker A 00:28:46 It had to be broken. Speaker A 00:28:47 There had to be a way to do it. Speaker A 00:28:49 The Bible said it was a mystery hidden in God. Speaker A 00:28:53 Now we back in God again. Speaker A 00:28:56 Now there's something else working on the inside of him. Speaker A 00:28:59 The Bible said it's a mystery hidden from the foundations of the world. Speaker A 00:29:04 Well, no wonder it is hidden. Speaker A 00:29:05 Satan would like to find out what that was. Speaker A 00:29:07 If he could, but it was hidden. Speaker A 00:29:09 The plan was hidden. Speaker A 00:29:11 Now what God do? Speaker A 00:29:12 God has the problem now of getting the plan in the earth without the God over the earth, squirreling it up so bad it don't work. Speaker A 00:29:24 Now there's only one thing that he can get into the earth and it not get out of there. Speaker A 00:29:33 He can't send another man in there. Speaker A 00:29:36 And we found out down through the ages from the word of God, he had a hard time sending angels in there. Speaker A 00:29:42 And when he did get them in there, they couldn't stay. Speaker A 00:29:44 They had to go back. Speaker A 00:29:47 Of course, thank God. Speaker A 00:29:48 We see after Jesus got through with with Satan. Speaker A 00:29:52 The Bible says in Hebrews 1st chapter 13, 13th verse, 12 and 13th verses that all of the angels are ministering, spirits sent forth. Speaker A 00:30:02 Boy, they sent forth now, but back there then you see, God didn't have any ways. Speaker A 00:30:07 Hard to get one of them in here. Speaker A 00:30:08 You remember what happened when God sent that angel to Daniel? Speaker A 00:30:11 Took him 21 days to get in and he still couldn't get in by himself. Speaker A 00:30:15 He had to call Michael the war angel and fight his way in there. Speaker A 00:30:18 And if Daniel hadn't been praying, you see, he wouldn't have got to go in there in the first place. Speaker A 00:30:22 It took a man to draw him in there. Speaker A 00:30:24 He couldn't got in there in the first place, didn't have any authority to. Speaker A 00:30:27 He said, God has sent me because of your words. Speaker A 00:30:31 Said God heard you the first day you prayed, Daniel, and fear not, for I am sent for your words. Speaker A 00:30:36 It just took him 21 days to fight his way in there. Speaker A 00:30:40 Because you see where the authority was lying was in the hands of Satan. Speaker A 00:30:45 And man was a totally helpless thing, particularly back at the age that I'm talking about now, right after this thing has happened, all right, God walks into the garden. Speaker A 00:30:58 And the first thing he did when he got in there, he let Satan know right then that he was beat. Speaker A 00:31:05 He said. Speaker A 00:31:07 Well, you know what he said in the book of Genesis? Speaker A 00:31:10 I can just paraphrase it for you and tell you right quick what he said. Speaker A 00:31:12 He said, I'm going to whoop you. Speaker A 00:31:18 He said, there's going to be a fight between you and man, but really the fight's between you and me. Speaker A 00:31:22 And I'm going to put my heel on your head, but it's going to be done by a man. Speaker A 00:31:26 And Satan couldn't understand a word he said. Speaker A 00:31:29 But now look what he did. Speaker A 00:31:31 He took the very first paragraph of the inner image of the plan of redemption and framed it with words, just like he did when he created this universe. Speaker A 00:31:48 And he sent those faith filled words into the atmosphere of this earth. Speaker A 00:31:53 He released them with his mouth. Speaker A 00:31:56 It was a mystery to Satan. Speaker A 00:31:58 But those words of God were living. Speaker A 00:32:04 Those words were filled with faith. Speaker A 00:32:06 Even though the people were not. Speaker A 00:32:11 The first little bit of that plan of redemption got into the earth. Speaker A 00:32:18 Isaiah prophesied, you see back over here in chapter. Speaker A 00:32:22 And he said, my God is speaking seen. Speaker A 00:32:25 He said, my thoughts are higher than your thoughts, My ways higher than your ways. Speaker A 00:32:31 Now he could have just stopped right there and said, how you like that? Speaker A 00:32:35 And everybody said, I know it. Speaker A 00:32:38 But that wouldn't have mean anything. Speaker A 00:32:40 That wouldn't have done anything but just God bragged about the fact he's smarter than me and you. Speaker A 00:32:43 I mean, you know, we could figure that out without even God saying it. Speaker A 00:32:48 But that isn't where he stopped. Speaker A 00:32:51 He said, my ways are higher than your ways, as high as the heavens are from the earth. Speaker A 00:32:58 But then he said, so shall my word be. Speaker A 00:33:01 That goes forth from my mouth. Speaker A 00:33:04 And he said the way that the, The. Speaker A 00:33:07 The rain and the snow falls on the earth and cannot go back. Speaker A 00:33:12 That's the way my word is. Speaker A 00:33:15 That's the way his word is. Speaker A 00:33:17 He, that word was alive and he got it into the earth. Speaker A 00:33:21 And then he came along to an old boy by the name of Abram. Speaker A 00:33:23 And he said, hey, I gotta, I wanna talk to you. Speaker A 00:33:27 Well now folks, you got to remember God's a Jew and he making a deal. Speaker A 00:33:36 He dealing for the world. Speaker A 00:33:38 He's dealing for life and he's dealing for men. Speaker A 00:33:41 And he picked Abraham. Speaker A 00:33:42 Abraham wasn't a Jew till God got ahold of him. Speaker A 00:33:48 Isn't that right? Speaker A 00:33:49 Pretty slick deal too. Speaker A 00:33:51 Nobody knew what he was doing. Speaker A 00:33:53 And he taps this guy on the shoulder. Speaker A 00:33:55 If you think through it now, think about it just a minute. Speaker A 00:33:57 You see, actually God's dealing with this man called Abram almost on the same kind of basis that Satan was dealing with Adam in the Garden of Eden. Speaker A 00:34:06 God's on the outside looking in. Speaker A 00:34:07 He doesn't have any legal entree into the earth. Speaker A 00:34:09 Thing don't belong to him. Speaker A 00:34:16 You see how sassy the devil was in the presence of God. Speaker A 00:34:20 In the book of Job, God said, where have you been? Speaker A 00:34:26 Wasn't any of God's business. Speaker A 00:34:27 He didn't even have to answer him. Speaker A 00:34:28 He didn't want to say, I've been going to and flowing and face the earth. Speaker A 00:34:34 God didn't argue with him a bit. Speaker A 00:34:37 You see, this is a position that God's been in. Speaker A 00:34:40 Now maybe you get some idea of how much patience God has had over the last several thousand years that he's been dealing with. Speaker A 00:34:48 This might say, well, if God's running things, he's doing a lousy job. Speaker A 00:34:52 But he hadn't been running them except when he just got, you know, a little bit of a chance. Speaker A 00:34:57 He'd get in there and help a little bit until there would be a man that would totally submit to him and let him run him and let him teach him and let him train him and be his man. Speaker A 00:35:09 And God would use one little boy or one little man to change the course of nations and just warp this whole globe good with one guy. Speaker A 00:35:17 One man was better than all the races that. Speaker A 00:35:20 That Satan had under his control. Speaker A 00:35:21 If the man had just let God be as. Speaker A 00:35:24 Just give God a chance to use his mouth. Speaker A 00:35:27 Because what God was after was a vehicle in the earth that was a man. Speaker A 00:35:32 In order to get his word in there, he's releasing that word because he's taking bits and pieces of an inner image and putting it into the earth. Speaker A 00:35:42 And I'll guarantee you the day that jigsaw puzzle was one piece, it was in there. Speaker A 00:35:47 Praise God. Speaker A 00:35:48 And Satan couldn't fight it, nor stop it, praise the Lord. Speaker A 00:35:50 His faith was in the earth. Speaker A 00:35:51 And when God's got his faith in a place, brother, it's going to come to. Speaker A 00:35:56 There's ain't no way to stop it. Speaker A 00:35:58 And he's working at it, you see. Speaker A 00:36:00 And God's got the patience to work and plan and scheme this thing. Speaker A 00:36:04 And some old boy would. Speaker A 00:36:06 Would let God use him and. Speaker A 00:36:07 And God would use him as a prophet, you see, and he'd begin to speak. Speaker A 00:36:11 Well, he told old Abram down there that day, he said, as for me, you can see it in the 17th chapter of Genesis, the third and fourth verses. Speaker A 00:36:17 God spoke to Abram and said, I am El Shaddai. Speaker A 00:36:20 I am Almighty God. Speaker A 00:36:22 How'd you like somebody tap you on the shoulder someday? Speaker A 00:36:25 You walking down the street here and say, I'm Almighty God. Speaker A 00:36:28 And you knew it was because it knocked you over on your face when he said it. Speaker A 00:36:32 Because after he said that, the Bible said, you know, after he got through dealing with Abraham, the Bible said. Speaker A 00:36:37 And God went up from him, and Abraham got up. Speaker A 00:36:42 Talk about falling out under the power of God, brother. Speaker A 00:36:44 It knocked him over on his face like he's dead. Speaker A 00:36:48 It would shake you some, wouldn't it? Speaker A 00:36:50 And here God said, as for me, see, he's making a contractual proposition, a deal with this man. Speaker A 00:36:58 He said, as for me, if you'll walk Perfect and upright before me. Speaker A 00:37:03 I'll be a God to you and I'll take care of you. Speaker A 00:37:06 And I'll see to you that none of that other bunch can touch you if you just walk perfect before me and do what's right. Speaker A 00:37:11 And I'll make a covenant with you that's so strong that I'll make it in the blood of your own body and I'll seal myself. Speaker A 00:37:17 In other words, if I ever break this covenant with you, I'll have to kill myself. Speaker A 00:37:21 It'll come to a point where God would have to destroy himself. Speaker A 00:37:24 The Bible said he sealed himself because there was nothing higher that to swear by. Speaker A 00:37:29 He swore by himself. Speaker A 00:37:32 That's tough. Speaker A 00:37:34 God wasn't making it tough on the man. Speaker A 00:37:36 He knew the man couldn't hack that kind of a deal. Speaker A 00:37:39 He's making it tough on himself. Speaker A 00:37:42 Making it tough on himself. Speaker A 00:37:47 God began to operate with this man. Speaker A 00:37:52 He began to do certain things that startled the world. Speaker A 00:37:59 This word that was beginning to leak into the earth and Satan's fighting against it. Speaker A 00:38:04 Satan's still fighting that. Speaker A 00:38:05 First thing he got up there in the Garden of Eden, hadn't whipped that yet. Speaker A 00:38:09 That's the reason Abel got killed. Speaker A 00:38:11 Did you know that? Speaker A 00:38:12 Because of what God said to Satan in the Garden of Eden. Speaker A 00:38:16 He said, there's, there'll be one that put his heel on your head. Speaker A 00:38:20 And Abel looked like he might have been it. Speaker A 00:38:23 But the Bible says that this plan was hidden in God. Speaker A 00:38:28 But brother, let me tell you something. Speaker A 00:38:31 The prophets that look like they might be this, this one that God was talking about. Speaker A 00:38:39 Satan killed every one of them he could get his hands on. Speaker A 00:38:43 Until one day there was a lot of disturbance in the stars. Speaker A 00:38:46 There was a disturbance among men. Speaker A 00:38:49 Angels were talking to shepherd boys and all that kind of stuff, you know, talking about this. Speaker A 00:38:53 And old Satan's nervous and he's running around and he don't know exactly which one it is. Speaker A 00:38:59 So he kills every child in Bethlehem two years old and under. Speaker A 00:39:03 And he missed. Speaker A 00:39:06 But let me tell you something about 28 years later there was a young 30 year old man standing in the Jordan river. Speaker A 00:39:19 And there was a voice came from heaven and said, this is my beloved son. Speaker A 00:39:25 Hear ye him. Speaker A 00:39:26 And the very next thing you see is Jesus and Satan are tied together on the mount of temptation. Speaker A 00:39:35 Boy, he didn't waste any time, did he? Speaker A 00:39:36 The war's on. Speaker A 00:39:37 He found out who it was. Speaker A 00:39:39 This body walking here is a product of the faith of God that God has injected in his word and put it in the earth piece by piece. Speaker A 00:39:53 By piece he's building the express image of himself. Speaker A 00:39:57 And in the book of Hebrews he said this man is the express, express image of God. Speaker A 00:40:02 The very expression of the image that was in God before the foundation of the world. Speaker A 00:40:07 And he used his faith within him, little piece at a time, just doing everything was possible and necessary to do to get this thing into the earth and slip it by the God of this earth, the prince of the power of the air and got it in there. Speaker A 00:40:23 The faith it took to make fingers was loose. Speaker A 00:40:26 The faith that it took to make arms was loosed in the earth. Speaker A 00:40:31 And now God had a way to hover over a little woman by the name of Mary. Speaker A 00:40:37 And there was born of that virgin woman, a product of God. Speaker A 00:40:42 Once again something has happened from the insides of God. Speaker A 00:40:54 Well, if there's any word that, if there's any word you could pick to form. Speaker A 00:41:04 If I could pick a word that would paint the picture of Jesus ministry on the shores of Galilee would be the word fearless. Speaker A 00:41:16 He was fearless in the face of sin. Speaker A 00:41:19 He was fearless in the face of Satan. Speaker A 00:41:22 He was fearless in the face of sickness and disease. Speaker A 00:41:25 Did you ever realize what it took to lay your hand on the head of a leper? Speaker A 00:41:29 Now he didn't. Speaker A 00:41:30 He, he didn't not catch leprosy just cause he's the son of God. Speaker A 00:41:35 If that had been so, his body wouldn't have died at Calvary. Speaker A 00:41:40 That was not an immortal immune body, was the body of a man. Speaker A 00:41:44 It was a physical body. Speaker A 00:41:45 He had to resist everything. Speaker A 00:41:47 The Bible says that you and I have to resist. Speaker A 00:41:50 But thank God, at the end of his ministry, you see, he said these words, he said, Satan has come, but he's found nothing in me. Speaker A 00:41:58 He had a concept of being the son of God on the inside that was so beautifully formed by the Holy Spirit. Speaker A 00:42:08 At 12 years old he had more knowledge of his heavenly father than all of the religious men of his day. Speaker A 00:42:17 And he said, don't you know I must be about my Father's business. Speaker A 00:42:20 He said that at 12. Speaker A 00:42:22 He knew what he was called to do at 12 years old. Speaker A 00:42:24 But the Bible said he didn't get it. Speaker A 00:42:25 By some special revelation he grew in the knowledge of, in wisdom and knowledge and also in stature. Speaker A 00:42:33 And the Bible said, and God taught him. Speaker A 00:42:36 God taught him. Speaker A 00:42:37 How did he teach him? Speaker A 00:42:39 With the word that he had already released in the earth. Speaker A 00:42:45 He taught him with the word and his first contact with Satan. Speaker A 00:42:49 What did he say? Speaker A 00:42:50 It is written. Speaker A 00:42:52 It is written. Speaker A 00:42:53 It is written. Speaker A 00:42:54 There ain't no way Satan could Get that out of the earth. Speaker A 00:42:59 There's no way, man. Speaker A 00:43:00 It's in here and operating and there's no way to stop it. Speaker A 00:43:02 He can't. Speaker A 00:43:03 He can't stop that. Speaker A 00:43:03 The words alive. Speaker A 00:43:05 Now how you gonna. Speaker A 00:43:06 How you gonna kill God? Speaker A 00:43:09 In the beginning was the Word. Speaker A 00:43:10 The Word was with God. Speaker A 00:43:11 The Word was God. Speaker A 00:43:12 How you gonna kill God? Speaker A 00:43:13 You can't. Speaker A 00:43:14 He is a spirit, you know, you can't kill a spirit in the. Speaker A 00:43:17 In the way we're talking about killing something where it ceased to exist. Speaker A 00:43:20 You can't kill a spirit. Speaker A 00:43:24 Now, you see, you're gonna live eternally. Speaker A 00:43:26 And it's your choice whether you live eternally with God or eternally with Satan. Speaker A 00:43:30 But your spirit, man's gonna last forever. Speaker A 00:43:32 There ain't no way to stop it from existing. Speaker A 00:43:34 And you can go blow your brains out if you want to, but brother, you hadn't stopped anything. Speaker A 00:43:37 You just started something worse. Speaker A 00:43:41 That's not the end, that's the beginning. Speaker A 00:43:44 You get to a place, one of these days, you'd be crying, you wish to God you hadn't done it. Speaker A 00:43:51 Because that hell you was in wasn't near like the one that you faced up to now. Speaker A 00:43:56 Now follow me carefully here because here's where we're going to depart from ordinary church. Speaker A 00:44:03 Man. Speaker A 00:44:04 Listen, if y'all wanted to have just ordinary church service, you in the wrong spot tonight. Speaker A 00:44:10 You got your shouting clothes on. Speaker A 00:44:13 Open your Bible up to the book of Galatians. Speaker A 00:44:15 I want to show you something, brother. Speaker A 00:44:17 I tell you, when I saw this, I was in El Paso, Texas one afternoon, and it's a wonder that they hadn't to kick me out of the Holiday Inn. Speaker A 00:44:25 I tell you, I absolutely came completely unzipped when I saw this from the third chapter of Galatians. Speaker A 00:44:35 Now, you see, God is injecting his word into the earth to produce this Jesus, this faith filled words that frame the image that's in him. Speaker A 00:44:50 And he can't just walk onto the earth and say, let it be, because he doesn't have the right. Speaker A 00:44:55 He had to sneak it in here around the God of this world that was blocking him every way that he possibly could. Speaker A 00:45:00 It had to be put in here as a mystery. Speaker A 00:45:06 So he begins to deal with this man named Abraham, and he begins to feed him his word. Speaker A 00:45:12 And he said, it'll be to your descendants too. Speaker A 00:45:14 And he begins to feed his descendants. Speaker A 00:45:17 Actually what he was doing, he was not making promises to Abraham. Speaker A 00:45:24 And as such, he was making promises to Jesus. Speaker A 00:45:29 And Jesus wasn't even there. Speaker A 00:45:31 But you see, God Deals with things that are not yet as though they already were. Speaker A 00:45:36 That's the way he gets them to come to pass. Speaker A 00:45:39 He releases his faith in the way it's going to be. Speaker A 00:45:41 And then the power in his word that he let go causes it to be the way he said it's going to be. Speaker A 00:45:47 The Bible said he speaks of things that are not as though they were. Speaker A 00:45:50 You see, he causes them to come to pass by releasing the faith force in his words to do it. Speaker A 00:45:56 All right, he's dealing with Abraham as if Jesus was already here. Speaker A 00:46:01 He's saying, walk perfect and upright before me. Speaker A 00:46:05 And whatever you speak, I'll cause it to come to pass. Speaker A 00:46:08 Whatever you lay your hands on, I'll back you with my power. Speaker A 00:46:11 You know, he's given all this promise. Speaker A 00:46:13 He's doing all these things well. Speaker A 00:46:15 He knew good and well Abraham couldn't stand up more perfect and upright before him. Speaker A 00:46:19 But as long as he got anywhere close, God would bless him anyway. Speaker A 00:46:23 And then because of me, of his man breaking this covenant with him. Speaker A 00:46:29 Instead, you see, the. Speaker A 00:46:30 The breaking of the covenant drew a death penalty because God couldn't be a respecter of persons. Speaker A 00:46:35 And if he's going to kill himself, if he broke it, that meant he had to kill the man if he broke it. Speaker A 00:46:40 But you know what he said? Speaker A 00:46:42 Instead of killing the man, he put in a priesthood because of the transgressions and said, take from me an animal and kill animal. Speaker A 00:46:51 Don't kill a man, kill animal. Speaker A 00:46:54 And he set up something there that Satan didn't figure would work, but it did. Speaker A 00:47:01 That's when the law came into existence and the priesthood that functioned around it. Speaker A 00:47:09 Then, 430 years later, when that word was in the earth in its perfection, this man Jesus became the Lamb of God and was offered up properly on the altar of the Cross by the high priest of the Levitical law. Speaker A 00:47:31 It happened. Speaker A 00:47:33 It happened. Speaker A 00:47:35 Boy, what a plan. Speaker A 00:47:40 Ain't no wonder Satan couldn't figure that out. Speaker A 00:47:41 Some of you can't figure it out and you already know it happened. Speaker A 00:47:45 He didn't know it was going to happen. Speaker A 00:47:47 He sure couldn't figure it out. Speaker A 00:47:49 You follow me now? Speaker A 00:47:50 You following what we're talking about here? Speaker A 00:47:52 See, God was. Speaker A 00:47:53 When God is talking to Abraham, way back there years ago, he was actually giving a promise forth for Jesus to minister on the shores of Galilee with. Speaker A 00:48:03 Now you read with me in the third chapter of Galatians and read with the 16th verse. Speaker A 00:48:08 Now, to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. Speaker A 00:48:13 He saith not. Speaker A 00:48:14 And to seeds as of many but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ. Speaker A 00:48:22 And this I say that the covenant that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law which was 430 years after cannot disannul that it should make the promise of none effect. Speaker A 00:48:34 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. Speaker A 00:48:38 But God gave it to Abraham by promise. Speaker A 00:48:41 Wherefore then serveth the law? Speaker A 00:48:42 It was added because of transgressions till the seed should come to whom the promise was made. Speaker A 00:48:49 Now, who did he say the seed was? Speaker A 00:48:51 Jesus. Speaker A 00:48:53 He said that it was added because of transgressions till the seed should come to whom the promise was made. Speaker A 00:49:01 And it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Speaker A 00:49:04 Now, a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Speaker A 00:49:09 Is the law then, against the promises of God? Speaker A 00:49:12 God forbid. Speaker A 00:49:13 For if there had been a law given which would have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. Speaker A 00:49:18 But the scripture hath concluded all unto sin, so that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe the promise that God's giving to Jesus. Speaker A 00:49:29 Back there telling Abraham about it and getting the promise that Jesus was going to function at Galilee with the Jesus that stood up and said, peace be still. Speaker A 00:49:38 God said, you heard him. Speaker A 00:49:43 Jesus said, it's the Father that dwelleth within me. Speaker A 00:49:45 He doeth the works. Speaker A 00:49:47 Be thou made whole. Speaker A 00:49:48 God said, you heard him. Speaker A 00:49:51 God is saying, I have a promise out, and he's walking perfectly upright before me. Speaker A 00:49:57 And what he says, you better do it. Speaker A 00:50:00 Because he's operating out from under the bondage of Satan. Speaker A 00:50:04 He's a man, but he doesn't act like a man. Speaker A 00:50:06 He's a God, but he doesn't act like a God. Speaker A 00:50:08 He's a God, man, all God, all man. Speaker A 00:50:10 How in the world could that be? Speaker A 00:50:12 But he was. Speaker A 00:50:14 And it wasn't the blood of a man in his veins, it's the blood of God. Speaker A 00:50:19 And he's walking the shores of Galilee on that promise that God had put in the earth all those years ago, see? Speaker A 00:50:25 And he protected that promise by putting in the priesthood and the law and so forth to protect it until Jesus could get here, you see. Speaker A 00:50:33 And when he got here, he functioned in it and he said these things and did these things. Speaker A 00:50:38 And God would say, amen, you know, And Jesus had turned to the devil and he'd say, it's written. Speaker A 00:50:44 In other words, God said it. Speaker A 00:50:47 And God said, I sure did. Speaker A 00:50:49 Satan said, okay, you know, I mean, there is not anything else you can say. Speaker A 00:50:56 Well, nothing else left to say. Speaker A 00:50:59 Boy. Speaker A 00:51:00 I'll tell you what. Speaker A 00:51:01 If he hadn't see if that all been God just been waiting on right then for Satan to cross his boundaries right then and not obey. Speaker A 00:51:09 Why he'd have jerked the slack out of him so fast it wouldn't even have been funny. Speaker A 00:51:12 Boy, I'd been all. Speaker A 00:51:13 You could have sent his saddle home. Speaker A 00:51:15 Finished. Speaker A 00:51:18 Wow. Speaker A 00:51:19 But the scripture hath the concluded all unto sin. Speaker A 00:51:22 Now watch this sentence here. Speaker A 00:51:25 Wow. Speaker A 00:51:27 I asked you a while ago. Speaker A 00:51:28 You got your shouting rig on. Speaker A 00:51:30 Now get hold of your seat. Speaker A 00:51:33 We're going to take off. Speaker A 00:51:34 Praise God that the promise by faith of Jesus. Speaker A 00:51:42 The promise of Jesus, what God promised Jesus by faith could be given to men that were under sin. Speaker A 00:51:56 Satan said, no, no, no, no, no, no. Speaker A 00:51:58 It's one thing for that sinless fellow to do it, but you can't do that. Speaker A 00:52:02 You can't do that now. Speaker A 00:52:04 You can't give that promise to these other old boys. Speaker A 00:52:06 They all under sin. Speaker A 00:52:08 God said, I know it. Speaker A 00:52:09 They've all sinned, fallen short of the glory of God. Speaker A 00:52:13 But the apostle Paul said, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Speaker A 00:52:18 And this righteousness which is by faith of Jesus Christ is unto all and upon all them which believe the promise that Jesus was walking on around the shores of Galilee, God has made it legal for you to walk on the same promise, just as if you were Jesus of Nazareth. Speaker A 00:52:39 And just as sinless cause see, he intends for you to put on his clothes. Speaker A 00:52:46 You put on the whole armor of God. Speaker A 00:52:49 The helmet, the breastplate, the feet, the shoes, the whole business. Speaker A 00:52:53 In other words, hide in that armor. Speaker A 00:52:55 The devil don't know that's little old you, you put that big suit on, brother, and go strutting down the road. Speaker A 00:53:03 Well, what would you do if you was the devil? Speaker A 00:53:05 Out come God's clothes. Speaker A 00:53:06 And it's not his everyday suit, it's his war suit. Speaker A 00:53:09 And he come walking down the street towards you. Speaker A 00:53:12 Well, you can't run the chance. Speaker A 00:53:15 That could be God or one of his kids. Speaker A 00:53:20 You can't afford to take the chance. Speaker A 00:53:23 You get burned. Speaker A 00:53:29 Back up there to the 16th verse again. Speaker A 00:53:34 Now, to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. Speaker A 00:53:39 He saith not antecedes as many, but as of one singular seed to thy seed, which is Christ. Speaker A 00:53:52 Verse 29. Speaker A 00:53:54 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed. Speaker A 00:54:00 And it's still singular. Speaker A 00:54:02 Praise God. Speaker A 00:54:05 Heirs according to the promise. Speaker A 00:54:09 What promise? Speaker A 00:54:10 The same promise he gave to Jesus and handed it to old Abraham. Speaker A 00:54:14 And you back up there in the 13th, 14th verse it said we've been redeemed from the curse of the law so that the blessing of Abraham might come on us through the Gentiles, through Jesus Christ. Speaker A 00:54:24 Praise God. Speaker A 00:54:25 Listen, that promise that Jesus was walking the shores of Galilee and just tearing up them thunderstorms and, and you know, and doing all that good stuff. Speaker A 00:54:36 Praise God. Speaker A 00:54:37 Laying his hands on the sick and they recovered and demons and devils running because they're scared. Speaker A 00:54:42 They argue with him a little bit, but they did it on the way out. Speaker A 00:54:47 Well, what did he say? Speaker A 00:54:48 In my name, take my name. Speaker A 00:54:51 You do it in my name. Speaker A 00:54:52 You do it just like it was me. Speaker A 00:54:54 Heaven says it's you. Speaker A 00:54:56 Here's the armor of God. Speaker A 00:54:57 Lay hands on the sick and they'll recover. Speaker A 00:55:00 Cast out the devil. Speaker A 00:55:06 You're the seed of God's promise and it's still singular. Speaker A 00:55:14 In other words, it worked for you in your own personal single life just as well as it did for Jesus. Speaker A 00:55:20 Somebody said, well I don't understand that. Speaker A 00:55:22 How come it ain't working for me then? Speaker A 00:55:24 Because you don't have any inner concept of it like Jesus did. Speaker A 00:55:28 You haven't allowed the Holy Spirit by the word of God to build that consciousness on the inside of you. Speaker A 00:55:33 Now you flip over at the book of Philippians right quick. Speaker A 00:55:37 It's just a couple of doors down. Speaker A 00:55:41 Look at the second verse. Speaker A 00:55:46 Oh, second chapter. Speaker A 00:55:47 Excuse me. Speaker A 00:55:50 Well, second verse will be alright too. Speaker A 00:55:54 Philippians 2. Speaker A 00:55:55 2. Speaker A 00:55:55 Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be like minded, having the same love, being of one accord and of one mind. Speaker A 00:56:02 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than himself. Speaker A 00:56:09 He didn't say look on yourself as nothing. Speaker A 00:56:13 He said, esteem somebody else higher. Speaker A 00:56:16 Well now, if I'm looking on me as nothing, then esteem you as higher. Speaker A 00:56:20 That don't say much for you. Speaker A 00:56:25 Look, not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Speaker A 00:56:30 Let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be called equal with God. Speaker A 00:56:42 I don't call it robbery to be called a joint heir with Jesus Christ. Speaker A 00:56:46 I respect and I stand very firmly and soberly in the position of a child of the living God. Speaker A 00:56:53 Somebody said, well, when we get to heaven, we're going to be that. Speaker A 00:56:55 Nope, nope, nope, nope. Speaker A 00:56:56 Look right down there in the third, I mean in the 15th verse that you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation among whom you shine as lights in the world. Speaker A 00:57:19 In the world. Speaker A 00:57:20 There ain't no crooked and perverse generation in heaven. Speaker A 00:57:24 Praise God. Speaker A 00:57:24 What's the matter with you? Speaker A 00:57:25 We're the sons of God. Speaker A 00:57:27 Now let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus. Speaker A 00:57:36 You see, very soberly and very respectfully and sometimes fearfully. Speaker A 00:57:41 That's at the same time full of faith. Speaker A 00:57:44 Praise God. Speaker A 00:57:44 I have confidence in the fact that he knew, knew no sin was made to be sin for me that I might be made the righteousness of God in him. Speaker A 00:57:53 I have as much faith in the fact that I've been made the righteousness of God as I have the fact that he was crucified and made to be sin. Speaker A 00:58:02 And I don't down me and say I'm just an old worm. Speaker A 00:58:06 I'm so unworthy and so no good. Speaker A 00:58:08 Good. Speaker A 00:58:10 The Bible said, don't let a man look on his own things, but let him look on the things of others. Speaker A 00:58:16 And I don't see you after the flesh anymore. Speaker A 00:58:18 Praise God. Speaker A 00:58:18 I see you after the Spirit. Speaker A 00:58:20 And any man that is in Christ Jesus you see is a new creation. Speaker A 00:58:23 Old things have passed away and behold, all things have become new. Speaker A 00:58:26 And I'm looking at you that way. Speaker A 00:58:28 As far as I'm concerned, you're blameless, flawless, beyond rebuke and beyond reproof in this world. Speaker A 00:58:34 Praise God. Speaker A 00:58:35 You're a child of the king, and he bore your sins and carried your diseases and your sicknesses. Speaker A 00:58:40 And as far as I'm concerned, it's done. Speaker A 00:58:42 I've learned to look at people. Speaker A 00:58:43 And that was the hardest job of all, was to begin to look at people through the eye of faith instead of the eye of the natural. Speaker A 00:58:50 It'll get rid of your prejudice. Speaker A 00:58:51 It'll get rid of you. Speaker A 00:58:53 It'll get rid of your political problems and your school problems. Speaker A 00:58:56 Praise God. Speaker A 00:58:57 You begin to look at people through the eye of faith instead of through that eye of the flesh. Speaker A 00:59:01 And praise God. Speaker A 00:59:02 I want you to know that something goes growing on inside of you. Speaker A 00:59:05 Praise God. Speaker A 00:59:06 Where you get to, where you just. Speaker A 00:59:07 You can't stop. Speaker A 00:59:08 You just keep on going. Speaker A 00:59:10 Praise God. Speaker A 00:59:10 You begin to realize that the word that God promised to Jesus is to me. Speaker A 00:59:14 And when he said, go ye therefore into all the world and preach the gospel, then it was just exactly what Jesus said. Speaker A 00:59:20 As my Father has called me, so call I you. Speaker A 00:59:27 Same calling. Speaker A 00:59:28 Not to condemn the world, but to save it. Speaker A 00:59:31 Amen. Speaker A 00:59:32 All right. Speaker A 00:59:33 When I begin to do that, you see, I'm not belittling me with faith. Speaker A 00:59:38 I stand fully tall as a reborn spirit filled messenger of the Gospel. Speaker A 00:59:44 I'm not receiving pride unto myself. Speaker A 00:59:47 I don't stand and say that in pride. Speaker A 00:59:49 I stand and say it in humility. Speaker A 00:59:51 But I stand when I say it. Speaker A 00:59:53 Praise God. Speaker A 00:59:55 It wasn't me told to call a dust of the earth. Speaker A 00:59:58 It was the devil he told to crawl. Speaker A 01:00:00 I used to have to crawl down there with him because that's what I was until I made Jesus Christ the Lord of my life. Speaker A 01:00:07 The Bible says in Ephesians chapter 2, 7, 8, 9 and 10 that we are his workmanship. Speaker A 01:00:12 Created in Christ Jesus unto good works. Speaker A 01:00:14 We are his workmanship. Speaker A 01:00:16 You see, when the Holy Spirit hovered over you, the moment you made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, there was born inside your body. Speaker A 01:00:25 Something from the inside of God. Speaker A 01:00:27 The Bible says we're born of his spirit. Speaker A 01:00:29 We're born of his spirit. Speaker A 01:00:31 Bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh. Speaker A 01:00:33 We're born of his spirit. Speaker A 01:00:35 Born of his spirit. Speaker A 01:00:36 There's something else that's come from the inside of God. Speaker A 01:00:39 The Bible said the word of God multiplied. Speaker A 01:00:46 Romans, the eighth chapter says that we are predestinated to be conformed to the image image of his son, that image. Speaker A 01:00:55 Now you follow me. Speaker A 01:00:58 I told you that the word created was never used anymore after God created the heavens and the earth. Speaker A 01:01:06 But I didn't finish my statement. Speaker A 01:01:10 It was not used anymore in the old covenant. Speaker A 01:01:15 But it's used again in the new covenant talking of the new birth. Speaker A 01:01:22 And you know what it says? Speaker A 01:01:25 We are his workmanship. Speaker A 01:01:29 Created. Speaker A 01:01:31 Created. Speaker A 01:01:33 It's the same word that the Bible used when God created the heavens and the earth like there was nothing there before it. Speaker A 01:01:39 Nobody could stop him. Speaker A 01:01:41 He's in a position now to take complete authority and he did it. Speaker A 01:01:45 Created in Christ Jesus. Speaker A 01:01:47 We are his workmanship. Speaker A 01:01:49 Created in Christ Jesus. Speaker A 01:01:52 Praise God unto good works. Speaker A 01:01:55 Hallelujah. Speaker A 01:01:57 Hallelujah. Speaker A 01:01:59 Boy, you let that begin to be an inner image on the inside of you and it begins to come out of you. Speaker A 01:02:04 Praise God. Speaker A 01:02:04 I want you to know. Speaker A 01:02:05 Devils, squirming, hollering squall. Speaker A 01:02:07 When you walk down the road, boy, I want you to know you bad news where Satan's concerned. Speaker A 01:02:15 Praise the Lord. Speaker A 01:02:17 I'm going to close this tonight with this. Speaker A 01:02:22 Praise God Almighty. Speaker A 01:02:27 Let this mind. Speaker A 01:02:31 Let it. Speaker A 01:02:33 Let didn't say work at it or beg for it. Speaker A 01:02:36 It just said let it drop the door of your religion that won't let you, absolutely will not let you stand in a place of no condemnation. Speaker A 01:02:52 Sinless, the righteousness of God. Speaker A 01:02:55 I remember I was coming before God one afternoon, I said, I'm going to bombard the gates of heaven with prayer. Speaker A 01:03:04 God said, boy, assuming he said, how long are the walls around this city? Speaker A 01:03:13 And I said, 1200 miles. Speaker A 01:03:17 He said, you know, it's 1200 miles cubed, it's 1200 miles square and 1200 miles tall the city is. Speaker A 01:03:24 And he said, just assuming that my throne is in the middle. Speaker A 01:03:29 You're wanting to bombard the gates. Speaker A 01:03:31 Now, you see, that is that sin conscious attitude that keeps me outside the door, begging God, banging at God, crawling before him, an orphan child trying to sneak in the back door of heaven, trying to get away with what I can and still sneak into heaven one day somehow. Speaker A 01:03:52 That whole attitude is a sin consciousness attitude. Speaker A 01:03:56 He says, let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus. Speaker A 01:04:01 And he said, boy, if the. Speaker A 01:04:03 If my throne's in the middle and the walls are 1200 miles long, you're out there banging on the gate, you're 600 miles short. Speaker A 01:04:16 You know what his word says? Speaker A 01:04:18 Come boldly to the throne, grace and find help. Speaker A 01:04:25 And grace in a time of need. Speaker A 01:04:28 Mercy when you need it. Speaker A 01:04:30 He didn't say, come hope for it, said, come get it, come obtain it. Speaker A 01:04:36 I remember one night I was in church, I was about halfway back, John hall was singing and I was sitting back there with Ray Ludwig and he and I, you know, just sitting back there. Speaker A 01:04:46 I wasn't just come to church and John was singing a song about the heavenly feast. Speaker A 01:04:53 And in the middle of that he made reference to the. Speaker A 01:04:56 To the 23rd Psalm, you know, prepares a table before me. Speaker A 01:05:01 Well, the Lord spoke to me and the same thing happened to me in here tonight. Speaker A 01:05:09 But the choir was up in front of me and you didn't see me jumping. Speaker A 01:05:13 Some of you might have seen me grab my Bible right quick to make a note in there. Speaker A 01:05:16 But the same thing happened to me tonight. Speaker A 01:05:18 And I was sitting back there and the Lord spoke to me and I jumped, I must jump 6 inches off that seat. Speaker A 01:05:25 And I grabbed my Bible and flipped it open to the 23rd Psalm. Speaker A 01:05:28 And Old Ray is sitting there next to me, said, what did you get? Speaker A 01:05:31 And I said, I said, we'll have to wait till church is over with before I can tell you. Speaker A 01:05:35 Because I said, man, I'd tear this church house down if I tell you right now. Speaker A 01:05:38 So neither one of us could hardly wake. Speaker A 01:05:40 Church is over with. Speaker A 01:05:41 We run out the front door of the church and I flipped that thing over. Speaker A 01:05:44 I said, ray, praise God. Speaker A 01:05:46 God just spoke to me in there a while ago and said this to me. Speaker A 01:05:49 He said, that feast in the 23rd Psalm, not a heavenly feast. Speaker A 01:05:53 I said, he didn't. Speaker A 01:05:54 He said, no, he didn't. Speaker A 01:05:55 I said in that word, I would prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies and your enemies are not in heaven. Speaker A 01:06:02 Praise God. Speaker A 01:06:03 He said, that's down there. Speaker A 01:06:04 And the Lord said to me, he said, the only problem I got, I can't get none of my kids come to the table. Speaker A 01:06:09 They all want to pass it off till they get to heaven. Speaker A 01:06:11 We're going to have authority over the devil when we get to heaven. Speaker A 01:06:14 What are you going to do? Speaker A 01:06:15 He won't be there. Speaker A 01:06:20 Now is when we're walking in the image of God. Speaker A 01:06:22 Listen, folks, being able to handle it in the earth now is the reason God sent Jesus to the cross. Speaker A 01:06:28 If it is just handling it and heaven who needed it, it is in the earth that he had to have the thing done. Speaker A 01:06:37 Praise God. Speaker A 01:06:38 We got out there in front of that church and I just started to tell Ray what I saw. Speaker A 01:06:41 And old John come running around the side of the church. Speaker A 01:06:43 He said, what you see while I was up there and the three of us just had us a jumping up good town right there in that church. Speaker A 01:06:51 God said to me tonight, just as plain I was sitting right there in that chair and the Lord said, you know, I sent my word into the earth. Speaker A 01:07:00 I said, yes, you know that's what I'm going to preach on tonight. Speaker A 01:07:03 He said, yeah, but I didn't. Speaker A 01:07:05 You don't understand yet how much it is a reciprocal action. Speaker A 01:07:09 He said, I sent my word into the earth. Speaker A 01:07:11 I said, yeah, I know that you said you sent your word into the earth. Speaker A 01:07:14 But he said, I also said, it'll not return to me void. Speaker A 01:07:20 It'll not return void. Speaker A 01:07:22 How's it going to return? Speaker A 01:07:23 Bounce off. Speaker A 01:07:25 No, as you and I go to his word and accept his word as the answer to the prayer and hold it up before him like a mirror and said, shall the judge of heaven and earth do wrong? Speaker A 01:07:35 No, you said it in your word and it'll come to pass. Speaker A 01:07:38 And you just keep confessing it and standing on that word until there's an inner image built inside of you. Speaker A 01:07:44 There is a communion between you and God on this thing and no demon in hell can stop it. Speaker A 01:07:49 Praise God. Speaker A 01:07:50 Then the Lord spoke to me and said, didn't I say lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven? Speaker A 01:07:55 He said, son, you lay them up up here, I'm going to lay them Down. Speaker A 01:07:58 Down there. Speaker A 01:08:00 Glory to God. Speaker A 01:08:02 Hallelujah. Speaker A 01:08:07 Praise God. Speaker A 01:08:12 That's pretty decent swap. Speaker A 01:08:15 He said, I'll open the windows of the treasure house of Heaven like the rain falls on the earth. Speaker A 01:08:21 That's part of the blessings of Abraham. Speaker A 01:08:23 Hallelujah. Speaker A 01:08:24 You better stand up. Speaker A 01:08:25 I get going again. Speaker A 01:08:26 I know when to quit this. Speaker A 01:08:28 I'm not in a way to get through with it. Speaker A 01:08:31 We just unhook it here a little bit. Speaker A 01:08:35 I wouldn't miss tomorrow afternoon for anything in the world. Speaker A 01:08:40 I can hardly wait to find out what I'm going to say because I've been listening to most of this while it's coming out. Speaker A 01:08:48 Glory to God. Speaker A 01:08:49 I mean it. Speaker A 01:08:50 That's right. Speaker A 01:08:51 You know, a lot of these things you be preaching a lot. Speaker A 01:08:53 I don't preach out of my head. Speaker A 01:08:55 I preach out of my spirit. Speaker A 01:08:58 And you see, when you where I get it in my spirit, that's the reason I don't run around play with you all day during these meetings. Speaker A 01:09:06 Some of you get aggravated at me because I don't visit with you much and all that. Speaker A 01:09:11 But you're going to have to grow up better than that. Speaker A 01:09:13 Because I go in get before the word, you see, and get in the word of God and meditate and pray about it. Speaker A 01:09:19 That's when I build these things and allow God to build them on the inside of me until there is an inner image there of the frame of this thing that God wants me to bring forth. Speaker A 01:09:28 And I just start at the top of it. Speaker A 01:09:31 And a whole lot of times, most of the time I. Speaker A 01:09:34 I won't get the scripture read until my mind's out of function and it begins to flow out of my spirit almost like prophecy. Speaker A 01:09:43 And I'll say things, you know, and I'll say something like, well, tomorrow night we're going to find out what happened here and here and here. Speaker A 01:09:50 And I'll think, well, I can hardly wait. Speaker A 01:09:51 I don't know what happened there and there and there, you know, But I'll find out. Speaker A 01:09:56 I'll have to go get in the words, you see, and stay before God. Speaker A 01:09:59 Listen and he'll tell me and things go to heaven because there's an inner image of what's going to happen. Speaker A 01:10:03 And sometime God give me a vision of it in there and just plant the thing in me. Speaker A 01:10:07 And I just come in here and copy what I got down there this afternoon. Speaker A 01:10:13 Well, if I'm going to go listen to you all day and listen to your problems, how come your pies are burning and your husband's ugly and your wife no good. Speaker A 01:10:19 And your kids all got the croup and the dog run off with something other dog, you know. Speaker A 01:10:25 And your schools are no good and the president's rotten and the vice president's gone and don't like the one we got and all that. Speaker A 01:10:31 Well, what kind of inner image you think I'm going to preach to you? Speaker A 01:10:34 Just exactly what you've been putting in there. Speaker A 01:10:36 And the word of God says, be careful about the way you hear. Speaker A 01:10:41 Amen. Speaker A 01:10:46 I tell you what, I like this stuff, don't you? Speaker A 01:10:51 Praise God. Speaker A 01:10:52 Some fellow asked me one day, what do you think about once saved, always saved. Speaker A 01:10:57 I said, well, I don't know where the argument is. Speaker A 01:10:59 I don't want out. Speaker A 01:11:02 I really care less. Speaker A 01:11:03 I don't care whether you could get out or not. Speaker A 01:11:13 Some of that bunch down there in Fort Worth still can't understand that I'm preaching. Speaker A 01:11:18 And one of them said one time said, well, I wonder how long this is going to last on old Copeland. Speaker A 01:11:23 And I thought, well, I'll tell you what, partner. Speaker A 01:11:25 I don't care whether it lasts a day or a month or a year. Speaker A 01:11:27 I know where I got what I got. Speaker A 01:11:29 If it runs out, I'll go get me another dose of it. Speaker A 01:11:33 Got the whole thing out of the word of God. Speaker A 01:11:37 Oh, praise the Lord. Speaker A 01:11:38 I gotta hush. Speaker A 01:11:39 Praise God. Speaker A 01:11:40 I'm going to apologize now for preaching too long tomorrow night because I'm kind of beginning to see where this thing's going to go. Speaker A 01:11:50 Praise the Lord. Speaker A 01:11:51 Thank the Lord. Speaker A 01:11:52 Jesus. Speaker A 01:11:53 Jesus. Speaker A 01:11:54 Jesus. Speaker A 01:11:55 You did it. Speaker A 01:11:57 You provided it. Speaker A 01:11:59 Without you, you are the express image of God. Speaker A 01:12:04 You allowed it to work in you and you allowed it to happen. Speaker A 01:12:07 And thank God your glory is manifest in us. Speaker A 01:12:11 And, oh, we praise you and we magnify you. Speaker A 01:12:13 Lift your hands and praise God. Speaker A 01:12:15 Just praise him. Speaker A 01:12:15 Without Jesus, it never would have took place and never would have happened. Speaker A 01:12:18 God would have still been on the outside had Jesus not been obedient. Speaker A 01:12:22 Had Jesus failed, had Jesus not operated correctly, had he been not been a word man, had he not correctly listened to God. Speaker A 01:12:30 It had all been over. Speaker A 01:12:31 You and I had never even been born. Speaker A 01:12:34 It all been over. Speaker A 01:12:35 You could have just been nothing but darkness and blackness. Speaker A 01:12:39 Nothing to look forward to but a burning, dying hell. Speaker A 01:12:42 But thank God he did do it. Speaker A 01:12:44 And thank God we have him. Speaker A 01:12:45 And thank God he's ours. Speaker A 01:12:47 Praise the Lord. Speaker A 01:12:48 Praise the Lord. Speaker A 01:12:49 Praise the Lord. Speaker A 01:12:50 Let's praise God here for a moment. Speaker A 01:12:52 Praise God. Speaker A 01:12:59 Praise the Lord. Speaker A 01:13:02 Praise the Lord. Speaker A 01:13:04 Praise God. Speaker A 01:13:04 Did you get anything out of this tonight? Speaker A 01:13:09 Reckon we ought to take up another offering while you're standing there going on Praise the Lord. Speaker A 01:13:15 Glory to God.
