THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE WORKS OF CHRIST

This weekend reminds us. Of the works of Jesus, and it reminds us the reason. Why we. Our lives would have meaning, not just in time, but in eternity. When we deal with the subject of the Gospel, there are four major things that. Forms the emphasis. The first thing that forms the emphasis of the Gospel is the essence of. The person of Jesus Christ. So anyway the Gospel is reached, Jesus Christ must be revealed. In his full essence and in his full weight. And if Jesus Christ will be revealed, there are four dimensions that must be revealed about him. The first dimension is his divinity. So if we preach the Gospel, we must preach Jesus and reveal him. Not as a prophet, not as an apostle, not as an evangelist. We must reveal him in his full essence as God, the second person of the God Head, eternally coequal with the Father and with the Spirit. And then we must reveal. Him as God, as the Son of God. So first we reveal him as God the Son, then we reveal him as Son of God, as Son of God. He's the one who gives full expression to the image of God, and he's also the one who runs the errands of the Father. I don't want to go into that because that's not my message for tonight. I'm just giving foundation. But we must know Jesus as God the Son, and we must know him as Son of God. H thank you, Holy spill. And then we must know him as Son of Man. As Son of Man is the one who represents the human race. As son of Man. He is the one who models God's expectation for his creation. And so he shows us what it means to serve God, what it means to live for God. And ultimately he also reveals to us the things that God has made available for man, sharing and coinhering with him. In his eternal dynasty. So in Dwan Yet chapter seven you read from Vesse thirteen to fourteen, you say that the everlasting kingdom was given to one that looked like the Son of Man. And then Jesus himself feaks. He says, the Son of Man did not come to serve to be served, but to serve. So he shows us our potentials as God's children, and he also shows us what God respects of us. As God the Son is revealed to be God in the beginning Juhn Chapter one best one God created in the beginning was the world. The world was with God, and the world was God. So he reveals him as God, not as a prophet. And then verse fourteen, and the world was made flesh and dwelt amongst us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotting of the Father, full of grace and truth. So as God, the Son is God, as son of God, he reves the Father Hebrews one bestree God, who has so three times and in divers manners, speaking time past on to the fathers by the prophet, as in this last. Day, spoken to us by his son, who being the. Brightness of his glory, the express image of his person. So he reveals God to us clearer than any prophecy or any doctrine can capture. He passive defies God. If he doesn't come as Son of God, we would not have had the full revelation of God. So anything that is obscured in prophecy, anything that is obscured in doctrine, we can find in Christ as Son of God at the resurrection, whom his wife will he be answer everything they could not explain from doctrine. He produced it. So he didn't just reveal God. They revealed the full scope of God's mind. As the son of God, then as the son of Man, he represents man in God's equation, and he also shows all that God has made available for man. We wouldn't have known that we can be kings. We wouldn't have known that we could be priests. We wouldn't have known. That will go in hair forever and ever sitting on trolls, except as a man. Jesus operated that way. So the dynasty that was given to him, according to Daniea seven thirteen, was as man the government that will rule forever. And we sit with him in that place. So he shows us our full potentials. And then he also shows us what it means to serve God, because it didn't come to be served, They came to serve. And so in that we see that the way to greatness is not awkward, it's down word. It is in Christ that we can understand the place of virtues, because he stripts himself of everything that made him God, to become man, to serve God in perfect obedience, and on the strength that he was in truth, that becomes a model for you and I to leave because he's also. Son of Man. And then he is the Christ as a Christ the Bible revised, not just as God's messenger or the Messiah. Now of course, as the Christ. He embodies the totality of what it is to represent God. But beyond that. It shows God's empowerment on human versus because the Christ is not just the maschiac who is the messenger that. Is to come. The Christ is also the anointed one and is anointing. So it speaks of God's empowerment operational in human versus. That's why in the Old Testament, every time a king, a prophet, or a priest is to be ordained, they are maschiacht. They are anointed into that office. So today we can be functioning by the power of God God because he came as the Christ. That means the ability of God can be transferred to you and I the same. Way it was on him. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy golds and power, who went about doing good, heal in all that were oppressed of the devil. So the first dimension of the Gospel is to reveal Christ. If you know him as God, then you can worship him. There are many religions of the world who don't know him as God. They think is a prophet. That's why they don't know the Gospel. If you know him as Son of God, then through him you can know God. If you know him as son of Man, then through him you can come into your full potential as God ordained before the foundations of the world. And then if you know him as Christ, then by the ability of God, you can live here apo to represent God. This is why it's important that the. Revelation of Jesus is part of the Gospel. In First Corinthians two twenty three, we preach Christ first before. We preach him crucified. So the gospel is not just about his works, is first of all about him. We preach Christ. Then when we are done preaching Christ, we preach him crucified. Then you speak, you speak of the works of Christ. As far as salvation is concerned, there are three components of his work that is a must for salvation to be possible, which is number one. He is dead, he is verrier, and his. Resurrection First Corinthians fifteen, from verse one to ves four. The Bible speaking this is for talking Morova, brethren, I declare onto you pay gospel. He caused this pay gospel. Which I preach onto you, which also you received, and wherein you stand. Is said by which also you are safe. That's why I said, if salvation will be obtainable this part of his works, I must you must know it and believe. It is by this that you are saved. Nothing else and it if you keep in memory this thing that I'm going to pry to you, then your believing will be substantiated. Otherwise is in vain. If you believe anything other than this you have ered? What is that message? For? I deliver on to you first, first of all that which I also received, Because you don't addities. How that Christ died for our scenes according to the scriptures. There's four how that it was buried and rose again they told them according to scriptures. So the works of Christ is a necessary component of the gospel. We don't just know Christ, we also know his finished works. And then number three, we understand the implication of the revelation of Christ and his finished works. If we don't know the implication, then there will be no substance for our faith. Our faith is not just the historical facts of his death, barrier, and resurrection. Our faith is borne from our understanding of the implication, first of who He is, then of the death, the barrier, and the resurrection. So if you preach the Gospel and you don't show people the implication of the revelation of Christ and the implication of the finished works of Christ, you may not have them much the amenities oologians who know the first two, but the Holy Ghost has not revealed to them the implication of the revelation of Christ and the implication of his finished works. And so today I am bothered and I'm gonna be teaching on the implications of the finished works of Christ, because is an integract component of the Gospel. We need to know him, we need to know what he has done. Then we need to know the implications of the knowledge of who he is and what he has done. And finally, the fourth component of the Gospel is the necessity of manifestation, your most witness. That's why the Gospel did not end with the false in Nptic gospels. It ended with the acts of the apostles. Because if you have received it of necessity, you must become a witness so when we speak about the Gospel, we speak of who Jesus is, we speak of what Jesus has done, we speak of the implication of knowing who Jesus is and what he has done, and then we speak of the requirement of becoming a witness. When this fall is in place, then the full scope of the Gospel has been communicated. And so for tonight, because we are in the Holy Week, the season of Easter, I want us to look at the finished works of Christ and the implications of. The finished works. Now, for salvation, our focus will be based on death, barrier and resurrection, right, but for eterner victorious existence, this scope is a big brother, and I'm gonna deal with the. Full scope of the works of Jesus Christ. When you're starting the works of Jesus, there are two components to the works of Jesus. That's what we're called the finished works, and that's what we called the final work. The final work is. What Jesus will do at the second Coming, because the works. Of Jesus are not yet finished. But at touching your salvation and your victorious living, it's finished. But there's yet another work that is coming to do. So when we look at the scope of the works of Jesus. We are looking at the finished works, and then we will look at the final work. The finished work holistically encompasses number one his incarnation, number two, he seemless life, number three, his public ministry, number four, his death, number five, his barrier, number six, his resurrection, number seven his ascension, and number eight his exhortation or ententroonement. Any Christian who will live and express everything God has in mind for him must understand the implication of these eight works of Jesus Christ. If you understand the three that very resurrection, you will be perfectly saved. But if you don't know about the ascension, you may not work in your column. It is when He has centered on her that he gave gifts up to men, and says some are apostles. I am completely saying, perfect believer if I know that verier resurrection. But the text me understanding of assession to work as an apostle. So you see that the scope of the works of Jesus does not begin an envy salvation. If I will function by the power of the Holy Spirit, I must know about his exhortation. This spirit has. Not yet been given because Christ has not yet been glorified. Why are you speaking in terms? Why are you full of the spirit? Acts two thirty three. The same Jesus that you crucify is today exhorted both as law than Christ. So it is our revelation of his exhortation that causes us to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. You see why that perier resurrection is enough for salvation, but. There's more for glorious living. And so today we are going to look at the implication of the Finnish works of Jesus. So when I talk about the odds, I need you. To understand why, because I'm dealing with implications tonight. Believe me, If you don't know these things, your Christian life will be limited. Then the final works of Jesus or the Second Coming encompasses the following number one, the resurrection of the dead. Nobody we rise from the grave until Christ comes to activate it. We don't know what it takes for people to rise from the dead. He alone knows, and they say figure that only him can activate. For resurrection to happen. He said, the son of Man that descend with this shout and with the voice of the act. Angel and the dead in Christ shall rise. So he's the one that we activate the resurrection of the saints. It's the work that it does, and if it doesn't do it, we will not rise. Now, his resurrection today. Confirms that we will rise, but is returned when activated. Are you following? That's why that work is depending. Number two, the rapture of the church. First, the Salonians four seventeen John fourteen three. The Bible tells us it is when I return, I'll bring you to myself. The Bible said, as it descends, we will be caught up to meet him in the cloud. Before the twinkling of the eye, we shall be changed. So there is a. Work is coming to do card they catching the way of the Church. Then number three, there is the judgment of the nations. Nations will be judged. Now, not every nation you know today will exist at the end of time. They are nations that will be wiped away. You know, God, that's already shown us that possibility. Already, there's no nation in the war today, God Sodom and Gomorrah. Because there is the judgment of the nations at the end of time. Nations that reject the Gospel, they will be erased. The reason you see US entry nations and preaching Christ is because any nation that does not receive Christ is world woe onto you, Courazine. There is judgment for the nations. That's why when you see people who are saying they think the zenate of the glory of a nation is civilization, they don't have understanding. Human civilization will end with time. When Jesus returns, nations will be judged Matthew twenty five. That's starty one to forty six. You will see the judgment of the nations. Then the destruction of the Antichrist, or the defeat of the Antichrist. Second Tarsalonians two, verse eight, Revelations nineteen Versse nineteen to twenty one. Jesus is coming back, set down wound, be Tyrannica, and rule forever. The Antichrist will be destroyed. The Bible speaks of how the brightness of his appearing wi destroy the Antichrist. So he's coming to defeat the devil and his agents. The battle of Amigaido is part of the works of Christ. And then he is coming to restore and. To re establish his government. It will be first of all demonstrated for it thousand years. Only with the Church. Then when the New Ed appears, it will become the reality. And then finally he will come for what we call the final judgment. Because it's not only nations that will be georged. Creation and all spirits we also be judged Revelations twenty Ver's eleven to fifteen. After the final judgment, then we have the new Earth and the new Heaven. That's the new creation. We are the millennial government. We be established on the earth. The Bible said there shall be no more son. He said he shall beat the son. And he said God shall dwell with his people Revelations twenty one, verse one to four. So these are the final works of Jesus. But we know that we are not going to bother with that so much. For tonight tonight, I want to deal with the finished works of Christ and the implications. And I will try to be very methodical in my teaching tonight because I want you to think. About these things. Write the scriptures down, go and meditate upon them. Some services are very intense because God wants to use the energy. Of his spirit to break through your life and to plant something. But the other services that needs to be very methodical, systematic, so that it helps you to think, meditate and reason with the word of God, because that's what makes you and macharge you in the things of this viirit. This is one of such services we are. The truth of God's Word is communicated in a way that you can meditate upon. So write the scriptures down. We will read them, meditate upon them, and let it build you up. And so very quickly as we begin. Dealing with the implications implications of the works of Christ, we did with the incarnation. The incarnation is simple. Is God in flesh? John one fourteen The Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Jesus is God in flesh. You read John one, verse one. Already in the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, the world was God. So the world that was God in verse fourteen became flesh and dwelt amongst us. In second three sixteen, is that without any controversy, great is the mystery of Godliness. He said God was manifest in the flesh Festimoti three sixteen second Timoti three sixteen. I beg your father, please project these scriptures. The word manifest. There's the word fan nehru. It means God was made apparent. The invincible God, the in tangible God suddenly was made apparent because he was giving a house. You know, there's been a question in the spirit, where's the house that you have made for me? Where is my dwelling? Please? He said, God does not dwell in temples made by the hand of man. So there has not been any vessel that could contain God until man was created. And the man that should have contained God fell from glory. So the protocol was truncated. But in Jesus the protocol was reenaxed because God wanted to dwell amongst these people. And for God to dwell amongst his people, he needs a suit that would make that possible, because if he shows up here, the act can't contain him. So there is a mystery encodet into the build up of man to be able to contain God. Certain trunkeeted it. So God prepared a body for himself. He said, a body, hast thou prepared for me? I think that's it Brews two four. And when that body was prepared. The holy goals came upon the virgin and the power of the Highest overshadowed her. So God entaped that body that was prepared. Now, that body did not come from insemination, because there was no sexual intercourse. It was God that prepared that body, and n taped that body. And the Bible said in Connosans to nine, he pleased the Father that the fullness of the Godhead should dwell in him bodily. So when Jesus walked the head, he was fully man because they carried the human body, but he was also fully God because the fullness of the God had dwelt in him. Now, why did God go through the. Stress of making this happen? You know, the things God does are important, but they become a blessing to you. Why you know why. That's why every aspect of doctrine must be explained such that people. Know what it entails, they know why it was instituted. It's in knowing why that you know your blessing and then they know how to work in it. So why is the incarnation important? Number One? Like I began to teach, God became apparent for the first time so that he can be known and known completely. Before Jesus came, we knew parts of God. Our knowledge of God was disjointed. We called glean from prophetic wars. We could glean from doctrine, but we didn't have a holistic picture of the essence, the character, and the power of God until Jesus came. So when he came, he came to reveal God. He said, God worked so three times Hebrews one three quoted already and in divers manners, speaking in time past onto the fathers by the prophet. But in this last day, the prophet couldn't capture the total revelation of God that man should have until the last day, when he came by his son, he revealed God. In John one eighteen, he said, no man has seen God at any time. They have seen parts of God, they have seen dimensions of God, but no man had seen the fullness of God at any time. He said, But the only begotting of the Father, who was in the bosom of the Father. He has declared him. So Jesus came to declare God, to make him apparent. So when you encounter Jesus, you can no longer deny the existence of God. It will be impossible for you to act as if God does not exist. So the first implication of the incarnation is to reveal God in his fullness. The second implication of the incarnation is to fulfill the desire of God to dwell with his people. Because God wanted to dwell with his people. You see that when all is done said and done. In Revelations twenty one, he said, the Tobacnacle of God is among men, and now God dwells with his people. That's God's desire. They told on me that. Two nine he said, the lost portion is his people. Israel is my possession. He desires a personal relationship with these people so that they broke the neck of religion will not exist. So the incarnation makes that desire possible. And that's why the Angel said in Matthew Want twenty one and twenty. Three, can we project these scriptures. He shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name Jesus, because he shall save the people from their sins. Verse twenty three, Behold, a virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son, and you shall call him in Manuel, which is interpreted word God with us. And I wish I had time to show you the seven levels of relationship with God. But today we are not talking intimism. Because there is a level of God for us. He has implication. If God be for us, who can be against us? There's the level of God with us. Then there's the level of we us with God. There's the level of us in God. Then there's the level of God in us. Then there's a level of Him that is joined to the Lord is one spirit. So they are debts, but incarnation makes God with us possible. So the second implication of the incarnation is that now God is with us, so I don't need to go to Jerusalem to meet Jesus. I can go to Jerusalem to appreciate where Jesus lived, but I don't need the well in war to have a relationship with God. In the incarnation, every religious route was removed. Are you following? Then Number three, the incarnation. Is God's full identification with humanity so that salvation can be possible. So the incarnation is the foundation for atonement. And there are three levels of identification God has with man. Number one is identification with man as a human being, because if it's not human, he can't even die for men in the first place, so he needed to identify with human beings for him to be able to die. Then there is his identification. With the sinful man. Then there is the identification with the zeal of man. All of these are epitomized in incarnation, baptism. And the Cross. In incarnation he identified with the human race. So now God is man. So God can become the sacrifice on the behalf of man. Because there was no sacrifice anywhere, you needed the perfect offering, which was nowhere. The Bible said, the blood of Booze and Catus, the ashes of an have could not take away sin. So everything they were doing it the Rod Testament couldn't take away. Say it wasn't perfect. God needed a perfect sacrifice. It was in the incarnation that the perfect sacrifice appeared. And that's why when John saw him in John one. Twenty nine, he said, behold the lamb of God that take away the sins of the world. Behold now cost of the incarnation. Therefore I don't need penance to have forgiveness. If Jesus didn't come as the sacrifice, you may need to have climbed a mountain with your knee. You may have wept all your life. It will deep. It not be enough because the witches of sin is death. But for death to happen, there has to be a perfect sacrifice. So the incarnation is God providing for himself a lamp so that atonement is possible. So if it was the incarnation alone, it was enough to begin to thank Jesus. I'm supposed to die for my scenes. It won't be enough. Now the prize has shown not so when you see Jesus, it's already tanksgiving because he has presented himself as the prize for your sins. Not yet dead, but at least the sacrifice is present. That means there's an assurance that I won't die. I told you you were owing the dead, and they told you the deadline was in three days. If you don't pay, you are finished. You won't sleep, sir. When three days approaches, your bipy wi go up. But suddenly then now said, don't worry. A rich man says he's coming tomorrow. He will pay. That's what prophecy is. He's coming. When is he calling? When is he called me? When is he coming? They say, don't worry this death. If you don't pay, they will take your children, they will turn to slaves, they will kill you. Three days to. Go, and somebody comes to you and tell you don't worry a rich man head about your kids. And they said he's coming tomorrow to pay. Suddenly, the anxiety and fear when they come, anxiety whether the man will come. So all Prophecy died was to keep people expecting when is he coming? At the incarnation, the anxiety and dead the last day that you are supposed to pay. Then somebody walks off to you and they say, this is the man. He has come with the money to pay the debt. Even at that you Stevie wanting can't he pay? Are you sure he can't? Then they said, well those three g were gones are his? Okay, then maybe he can't. And then he opposed one money is fool, opposed another money is fool, and say how much is that your depth? Again they say he's a ten million ira. Say, oh, sorry, I don't have nira, but I have two billion dollars year and let's just give them. That means he came with what more than? And no, do you know what you're not? Start saying no, we won't give them all that money, no way, when will give them what. I owe, I will give the rest. The incarnation in itself is a deliverance that means there's no more fear for death, there's no more fear for judgment because the sacrifice is present. So our fate begins understanding that Jesus is actually the incarnate of God the sacrifice for see. But you see, it doesn't stop there. Jesus had to live to prove that he was qualified a perfect offering. That's why the seedless life of Jesus is important. If it just came and died the day he was born, same time, we argue he didn't live. Now, so which life is? See? So you have to live and go through all the temptations that all humanity went through and be without seeing to prove that it qualifies a perfect sacrifice. Indeed, so it was not just about the cross. Most of you don't understand that every day of Jesus's life was a walk. First by keeping all the prophecies that waspoken concerning him, I said, that's why we need to study about his life. You know, most of you live carelessly. Is my life? You don't know how life should be lived, he said, before I found you in the womb, I knew you. I obtained you. The way God designed for life, to believe is for you to live according to prophecies, and Jesus came to prove it. Do you know there were over three hundred prophecies about Jesus, including. Where he lived. He didn't have the right to live it, and he felt like he lived where Prophecy said he was going to live by the coast of Sidom, by the brothers of Zebul. That was where Prophecy said, to be in nazare to be courted Nazarene. And thought for him there was no choice of this country is beautiful, there are green pastors that we go. No prophetor said live here. That's where he lived. So his life in itself was a work, and he lived it without offense, perfect in all these ways. Now, why am I taking time to emphasize this so that you can appreciate first of all your salvation and then secondly the life God has made available for you, and then you will know what it. Means to be a Christian. Hebrews four, verse fifteen. The Bible said he was tempted in all things, yet he was without any fault without any blame. First Pikter two twenty two. He committed no sin, neither was any deceit found in him. So he lived a perfect, sinless and clear life. And again you ask, what's the implication of that? Number one? It qualified him to beat the lamp that would take away the sins of the world, because that lamp must be spotless John one, twenty nine, the lamp that takes away the scenes of the world. Why is that important? Number two, It gave us the opportunity to see God's character in him. When you saw Jesus forgive even those who crucified him, then for the first time you understand the true million of love. You understand the true minion of messy. Every day of Jesus's life gave us an opportunity of understod in God's character in a way that we would not have been able to extract from the prophecies of the prophets of the Old Testament. Number three, His perfect life made him to qualify to be our righteousness. So when we stand before God, the only thing that will qualify us to stand before. God is perfection. So his perfection. Becomes the government we were Every time we stand before God. So if he didn't need a perfect life, we won't have any righteousness to present to God. That's why Second Corinttern five twenty one said he made him that you know, sin, to become sin for us that we might become. Now, this is not a license to live carelessly, because he already shows you God's character. But this is a confidence that anytime you come before God, it's not based on your merit. It's based on His merit. That's why, even when we fall, the Bible said, will should come boldly to the true of grace and obtain mercy. Why are you coming badly? You are coming badly because you are dressed in this garment his righteousness. So when Jesus was living a sea, a seamless life, he was operating like a tello, making a gament for you to wear, the only garment you can wear to approach God. He was decorating you with a seedlessness. So when you come before the saints of Heaven, when you come before the presence of the Father, nobody we know that you came from it the Goddess. Nobody we know. You know, when when big people. Meet, it is like a place of showcasing, from the watch, to the clothes, to the shoe, the car they drove. You know, they call it branding. You don't walk to the bannquet of a rich man carelessly. If you come, you will discover days vip v VIP then vv VIP based on what you are wearing and the kind of invitation you have. When Jesus was living a seinless life, he was giving us access to the highest place in the presence of God, so that when we come there there will be no sense of guilt or inferiority. You cannot stand in God's presence without feeling beauty, without feeling infereo, because the merit of his seedlessness was credited to you. If he seemed, he wouldn't have passed as the land. If he seemed, he would have aired in demonstrating God's character. If he seemed, they wouldn't have been righteousness for us to approach God. So his seinlessness is a work that we must appreciate because it was for us. And finally, he seemless life reversed Adam's final The first man fed, you know, certain came. He thought all the Adams are the same, the same temptation. He gave Adam, what's the same he gave Jesus. If you are the son of God, if you are the son of God, if you are the son of God, lost of the eyes, lost of the flesh, pride of life, Jesus passed all. That's why the first Adam was a living soul. But the last Adam is what a quick kicking spirit, a life giving spirit. Because he has reversed the error of the Last Adam, he now has authority to transmit life to you. The first Adam should have been the one to give all of us the God life, but the. Aid and fail. So the life was in the guarding Genesis two. He never touched it, and when he aired, he was driven from God's presence. So when the Last Adam came, whether we're going to have life or not depends on if he will Johnny enough to reach it and his perfect life who decided him to say, take life, Take life, Take life. So the life we live now is the life of victory because he defeated all of the conditions, the crisis, the triers, the temptations, the manipulations of the devil. So when we turn the Christian live right. There is a business what is power in You have been tested in Christ, and it is trusted. So when you find anybody weak, he is weak by choice. It's not helpless. No Christian is helpless. Not one is helpless the implication of his sinless life. Please know these things. You find two Christians. One can't talk to God, the other one is talking with confidence. You are wanting, what's the difference. This is the revelation. He knows something about righteousness, and he knows the basis for that righteousness is the life of Jesus. Number three. Is the public ministry of Jesus Christ. Look for eighteen nineteen. If Jesus didn't have a public ministry, there would not have been acts of the apostles, because you won't have anything to model hope. You'll notice when the power of God kept upon the apostles, they began. To do everything they saw Jesus do. Because these things you don't get creative to do, deser you have to see. Even Jesus said, the works that I do is what I see my father do. And if the apostles who have anything to do, they have to see Jesus do it. And it was documented for us, so that we two can't do the things that were written Romans fifteen four. They were written for one learning, so we learned to do so. The public ministry of Jesus has implications. Who would have told the apostles that you could cast out devils by talking? If nobody knows it? There was exhaust season before they came. They brought in sense, they played drums. But Jesus showed something different. He shows up, Hey, you devil, get out? Ah? Is it possible to command demons? Yes, somebody is sick. He came to put us mother in law, let's the sins down with fever arise. No, you need helves. No, it's not helves. The wars I speak they are. They are not aramaic. They are spirit and they are like nobody knew what were spirits until he can. A man was bon blind from his mother's womb. He came touch the eyes, eyes open, Ah, what is this? Do? People thought? Blind? Eyes? How did how? How do you know? Sa? I didn't robe anything. I just thought I thought when you taught me, they just feel, you know, sah. When we thought were communicate air, that's an annoyt thing. It's first by contact when we touch it happens. It happens. Even the man when he entered and the son hendrying goddad, I said, are you doing what you're doing? He said, nobody has heard from the beginning of the war that anybody opened blind eyes. If nobody, it's not really Auntie Tomorrow. No religion of the war can date. You thought, somebody bomb blind I ope, they were driving in the boat then left before him. They couldn't find him. Suddenly at the third watch or God cave walking the people walk on water? I thought, what it's only for drinking public ministry showing you the possibilities and the propensities, Because before she is a scame, we only knew the proposities of the fallen man. That no body can live holy, that no body can live with pro sickness, That no matter how song we are, at one. Point we must be sick. Is there no mospito? Again? So long as mospito exists, will we be sick? Is there not death in water? We must be? Seek? Are then no chance? Suddenly or God came from age one to toty three, never took drugs. Is it possible for a man not to be sick? Yes? Is it possible for a man to lay hands on the seat. That yes, that means your hands are not just for eating food. Your hands are what palms in Gilead. Your hands are stronger than radiation. We didn't know this. On Tea Jesus demonstrated it. Food was finished. All they new was either you have money to buy or you go to the farm and plant. Thank your father, because you always hear me. He broke the bread to give them bread began to multiply. Where did they come from? God can sustain men miraculously. He began to show us possibilities, dimensions that nobody knew was possible with men, to teach us what it means to be a man, because what we saw from the first add that was Vilio. Now he's showing us what God had in mind when he created the man. A man is not a specimen that should be frustrated used of the devil. A man is a specimen that your show case, consponssibilities, and every aspect of his life was a wonder. The other time somebody died, when he was sick, they sent a message, please come quickly, your friend is sick. At the point of death is. Doctors the ross not master I don't I does he rose? Nothing puts him on the pressure a dot tor. Men need to rose because when the brain shots down, even if the heart is depity. You bury him. But not I don't. I He went there for some days. When he was coming, Matter ran to him, if you were here, our brother would not have died. He looked at if I was here, So who tell who told you death? Intermidate me? He said, I am the resurrection and the life. Him that believed in me shall not die, and even if you were dead, he shall live again. Matter said, I understand that on the last day. We are not talking doctor him. I'm talking power, I'm talking reality. I am the first day, I am the last stay. I'm gold Alpha Omega. When to Mary, Mary said they saving. I thought they were taught what to say in the class, because there were two tenths of the first Adam. When they saw that the wound get it, he said, where did you keep him? That's when those who loving with nothing, sir, this is the fourth day. Everybody they've wort allow us to go home, so that nobody. Where did you keep him? And when they showed up, hi, oh my god, no one that is called acts of the apostles. They sign off. They're sign off. He's too in front of the tomb, and he said, thank you Father, because you are lois. See. That was the first time human beings were hearing that God all louis here. Man. Nobody knew where you're praying the bathroom, God here, where you were on your bed, God here when you are driving and your pray. God here. He's in the public ministruy of Jesus that we knew otherwise before. Now, before you pray, you need to carry a prayer at the bar, put on your neck. You need to go into the tobanacle and stand in them in a cot with the menorah before you can say had nah. You hear me, holuis you hear me? I can be in the workshop, he will hear me. I can be in the market. Way hear me. He doesn't hear me. Only in charge. He hears me everywhere. When he finishes, you get in them. It was not God. If you are with me, if you are messive for enough, If you want to do miracle today, no, God does miracle every day. God is messive for every day. God we do it any day. You believe. He said, if thou would does believe thou should that. See, the glory of God is not only what apples when is repulse a new temple, because we for now glory appears. When the new Topanaqui is built. Now, anytime you believe you see glory, see in one meeting, see the revelations. If you believe you see glory, God he. Has you any day, anytime one meeting. And they saw for the first time that that you don't intimidate man. He didn't whisper, he didn't beg God to come and raise him up. He stood there, the Bible said, with a shout, he said, laugh at us, come first of God. It's then he that was dead came back to life. That this is powerless when the saw arises. Laugh a us, no matter how strong you are. That you intimidate you, But not Jesus. He showed us a new order of life that never existed. If he had no public ministry, even though we are born again full of the Holy goes, we wouldn't have known what to do with the Holy Spirit. We wouldn't have known what to do with the annointy. We wouldn't have known what to do with eternal life. We wouldn't have known what to do with faith. It's the public ministry of Jesus that revised to us what to do with the Holy Spirit, what to do with faith, what to do with the eternal life. So now when we read the Bible, we read a copy and paste me two I them now to look at the sick and say, be healed. You won't try it. If Jesus didn't have public ministry, you too now can say saying we not have dominion O value. You can't won't say that prayer if Jesus didn't leave you. Now look at when the sister was testifying, she said, oh, prout it early. This is boys eaching on her LEGO. Her leg was itching. She was eaching red. Voys were coming out. Instead of being afraid, what is this? Let me go to the doctor, she said, know or proved it? When it's Ellie actually say. Hey, hey, that's not that's not. A high priest, that's a sister in a congregation. Stop stop, stop and boy vanished, how can you think like that? The brother who TESTI fight about coming out of prison for eighty. Years, he got me. I almost wept. Somebody who was in the prison for eighty years now see how weak satan is has master's degree eight years ago in prison for not just cause, because of O SAT circumstances. He was on his way to commit suicide. It was not a past in this minisu, a methic one of our manties who are going out to learn evangelism to length crusade. After they they met him, they said, no, that's a crusade. Tomorrow you will think a post is coming. A person doesn't need to come. Everyone now carries Jesus, so greater than apostle is coming. How did they invite him? The guy shows up the first day once stood on the face and said. If you are happy, challenge your depression. Come here. If you did see Jesus, you can't think like that. You are having depression. I will pray for you at the back. Come to the front. The guy came, now, rebuke. Depression, go back, you are free. He doesn't make that, and then the thought of suicide left because they rebuked the spirits. And then the next day the other one stood up, if you are trusting God for financial breath, yeah, he's sort Jesus m imply bread. He's so he's us multiply fish, it is possible. H who are those two evangelists? Come up here? Now your time has fun alia? Where they come? Then evangelist? Who means that the first Aliah? Where's the brother? Where's the brother? Brother? He uh alia? See that's where we spend money, Sir, I was sharing with them on Tuesday. I didn't know this will happen every week, some of these young evangelists we are training. We get four of them, five of them, give them one fifty thousand each, go and organize an outreach. Come back with the results. Last week, BARSASONI sent. I think the mobilized four of them in mobilized with six hundred thousand. When the money goes out, you'll feel it too. But the results you can't compare anything. This guy had master's degrees six eight years ago and he was what the testimony you will need to cry. And he found this place. Himself in the wrong place, slept there and somebody died overnight, and they are rested him in prison him for eighty years. I don't know him. I would never have met him. But there's a system that God that's created. This is the work of six hundred thousand, and they went to four locations. If you hear the other ones, you wish who preached the first day? Okay, this is the one who evandalizes for hire. You are the one that met him. Where did you meet him? I met him at a bad charwood junction? Sir? Are you an then pastor? Actually I'm an evangelisma and it was this he I began to worship officially with Emi. Are you are part of the in house evangelist? Yes, sir, but I enrow with SCE. Course. This is sir. It's that you say that. As I was sharing the flyers, he met me and he said you need to one and that maybe God with watch him dad day and if God doesn't do anything, you kill himself. You see why we. Pray before going out. Why they were doing this. I was in Legos, pretty in Dominion City. Left Legos, went to Potaco. I was pretty in reverstate. I didn't know what was happening. He invited this brother who said he was going to commit suicide. And then you pread the first day and dealt with the spirit of depression. The spirit of suicide left him. You preached the second day and broke. What did you pray? The young of proverty. He broke the York of property. Now for the eight hours later see how Satan works. This guy has applied for a job, was set and told him, you have wasted edgies of your life. What do you think will come out? He couldn't even wait for the results of the interview. He wanted to go and kill himself. But encountering these three people in forty eight hours interview that over a hundred people applied for? What did where? What did you say you're applied for? Again? He's an icy company, it company and they called him their case. But they're paying dollar, they're playing dollars. Why didn't he think that that team made matter their lives? Why was he thinking SUSA because spirits are involved? And then what happened and it was half time made him. I told him everything he saw. I was even when he saw me that day. I was even worster than this. I'm even looking both right. Don't worry, don't worry, see what will happen. I will give you one suit tomorrow first for the interview, because you need to enter yea with the mantuh. Ah oh. Tank up, brother tang Um. I don't want to bring religion. But see, I'll give you a suit. All right, you will enter the interview with that suit. They too help your mind. Then we will give you three hundred thousand bay three suits to resume their job. Because with the moment to resume their job, you need to things need to happen to you so that you representations as there. Give the lad a bigger. Now, see to evangelists when we promote them to start doing state white crusades. You know, you know. For now if past of God doing that those state white crusades when I'm not around, because it takes at least three million thereabout the the in house evangelists, we give them one fifty kid. If they need back up, we add something so that they go to villages. So we're gonna stand mobilizing these ones for state crusades. Yeah, in the guy refuse spirits that let in suicide. If they can't pread the young politics, then they have much all So in the motto, may will give them three three million to do their first steed white crusade. Give the Lord the bigger. You are blessed, you are blessed, You are blessed in the name of Jesus. Sonny will handle that. But sit down. This is the point I'm making right ah ah. For the first implication of Jesus's public ministry was to show us what we can do when God is with us. You know what they said to him, No man can do these things except God be with him. They annointy would have been useless if you didn't see Jesus's demonstrations, the inf the Holy ghost. Would that be useless. But when we saw him, we knew it was possible. So the first implication of the public ministry was to show you your propensities. So now we can that things because we saw him. They seiz obeyed him, that obeyed him, sicknesses obeyed him, demands obeyed him. So we now know the implication of the authority we have when we received the eternal life and when we received the Holy speeding. The second implication of Jesus's public ministry was to establish the kingdom on earth. The momentous started preaching, he said, repent the Kingdom of God. Is at time he demonstrated it broadcast government to the extreal they taught. Implication of his public ministry was to fulfill prophecies. He returned in the power of the spirit. Look four fourteen and fifteen Matthew four fourteen and fifteen. He returned in the power of the Spirit, that it might be fulfilled which. Was spoken by Zaiah the Prophet. The land of Zebudu, the land of Natani, by the way of the sea beyond Jordan, Galiley of the Gentiles. The people that sat in darkness have seen a great light. They are sat in the midst of the shackles of death. A great light is from form. So he came, demonstrating him leaving out his ministry to fulfill divine prophecies. Over three hundred, more than fifty percent have been fulfilled. When he returns at the second coming, he fulfills the rest. And then number four, what is the implication of his public ministry? He raised disciples. It was in because of his public ministry that he raised men. When he left, five hundred were ready to take the kingdom anywhere. They were so built that when Judas, who felt because it was the son of Petition, failed, they didn't need to go far to replace him. They got Mattires. He had the same statue, a fitter he raised disciples. If he didn't have a public ministry, you would know your propensities. They tomorrow demons would have been oppressing us, but now they know they can't try it. We know we saw it in him, even before we knew the basis in his crucifixion and resurrection. We now know. So when demons show up, Hi get back, they have no choice. Fakeness concert come on, leave my body. Now, he was never sick. When somebody is in trouble, all of. Us don't go a car. We don't give sympathy. We give answers because we saw it in him. Even if we cry with him, we bring gans us. He showed us that's the way to live. So there is the implication of the public ministry. Then his death, but is where the matter becomes heavy. You know, when you study the death of Jesus, you need to know first that he actually died, because there's a religion of the world that said he didn't die. When they came to arrest him, his friend replaced him and he escaped. That's not the character of God. God won't prophesy that is coming. He's sending his son to die, and his son escapes and make the world feel that he died. God doesn't deceive that's not our God. You know, some of these religions people just sat down and go up that things. That's why when you starty, you can't find. The integrity of God's character in it. How can you say your God is true? And your God said he's sending his he comes and when they arrest, he has kids and made the world believe he was the one. And they believe it because spirits pioneer religions. First Corinthians fifteen, thirteen and fourteen, the Bible told us he died according to scriptures. First Corinthians fifteen best three. He died according to scriptures, so we know he died. In Matthew two and forty, he said, as Jonah was three days and three nights in the Wales valley. He says, so also should the son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. So he died and was buried. So their death was really death glory to God. So we need to understand this. When I teach this, I like to explain to people, although this is not so important, but it's good. For you to know. You know, we have what we call Good Friday, and all of that, and all of that what do you see if your check. I don't want to go deep into arguments, theological historical arguments, but it's good for you to know so that somebody doesn't confront you somewhere and you don't know what to say, because they may say, how can you claim me die when you can't even tell the day and they begin to show you scriptures and you get confused. If your check the day he rose, he rose early on Sunday morning. You see that match tw twenty eight, this one. He rose. Now if Matthew twenty forty says he shall be in. The belly of the eight for three days and three night, that means the last night was what Saturday night? Because he rose what early on Sunday morning, as the day was beginning, he came out, so he was not in the grave on that day. So the first night was what Saturday night, The first day was what Saturday, The second night was what Friday night, Their second day was what Friday. The first night was what Thursday night, The first day was what Thursday. And they buried him before that day. That means he was buried sometime at twilight on Wednesday, because they wanted it to happen not. To get into the Sabbath. And if you study history, the day that the Jewish people do, they are passover. It was given to them in nextdose twelve. So they call it Nissan fourteen. That is first month of the year. That the month of Nissan, which is September on the fourteenth, if you checked that day in the year that they predicted, was Jesus that year, because they are two years, actually eighty thirty and eighty thirty three. If you check eighty thirty, it was a Wednesday. If you check eighty thirty three, it was a Friday. But if we checked the three days and three nights, we know he couldn't have died on Friday, because if you count Saturday night, which was the last night, Saturday, Friday night, second night Friday, Thursday night, you know he couldn't have died. So most likely he died at eighty thirty. And if he died at eighty thirty, and it's crepture because Paul said in First Corintians fifteen three, he died Act calld Dean to scripture John nineteen thirty six, it said all these things happened, that the scripture. Might be fulfilled. So if he died. According to scripture, we said in match of twenty forty that it will be in the grave for three days and three nights. That means his body we've been in the grave for three days and three nights. Then it means he was buried just before Tuesday morning. And you can justify it because if you check a D thirty, there was a Tuesday. There was a sabbath on Tuesday called the High Sabbath, and John nineteen verse thirty one said the soldiers came to break the leg of the criminals so that they would die first and bury them before the sabbath, for it was a high Sabbath and they will not work on the sabbath day. So that sabbath was a high Saba, which was a Thursday, so they had to bury him before that day. That's why they broke the leg of the two criminals. When they came to Jesus, it was already dead. Now when they brought his body down, they couldn't find the tone, so they were looking for tom until they found yourself of Arimatia. So there was a delay. So most likely it was through Wednesday night that they took him to be buried, and so his first day in the grave, because the day beguns by twelfth midnight, the first day was probably Thursday, first night, Thursday night, second day, Friday, second night, Friday night, Thurday, Saturday, third night, Friday night, Saturday night, and then he rose on Sunday morning. According to Matthew twenty forty, that's three days, three nights. Now, this does not impact on your salvation, but I said these thing so that in case somebody meets you and wants to throw you up balance, you should know, so that you know an argument to present. Because the Jewish people have three definitions of day. One of their cultural persuasions says that any part of the day makes it a day. So if I say two o'clock, he said day. Even if you use that argument and say it was Friday, fine, he died at three pm. So let's assume it was buried that Friday. So first day, Friday, first night, Friday night, second day, Saturday, second night, Saturday night, he rose on Sunday morning. You can't have Matthew twenty forty, because it's not three days and three nights in. The great so it can't walk. If you say, okay, evening and morning. According to Genesis one five is the first day, Friday night, first night, Saturday, first day, Saturday night, first night Sunday. He rose. That's his work to night one day. He can't meet the requirement of Matthew twelve forty. So it is most likely that the first day began just after twelfth midnight on Tuesday, because that gives us a perfect seventy two hours calculation for him to have. Resen on Sunday morning. And we can verify that because eighty thirty the Son fourteen was a high sabbath and that sabbath was on Thursday, so most likely he was killed on Wednesday and he was buried just before that Thursday. So that's in case you find anybody argue with you, that's not my teaching tonight, all right. But my body, my body, Glory to God. My body is the implication of his death. Seeing that he actually died, Historians they have made mistakes in their calculation. Bubble can get scriptures to get it right. And that's what we just did, all right. If you check the scriptures and you want to study the implication of Jesus is dead, there are few things you will find Number one is death is a full penalty. For our sins. The Bible said in Romance three twenty three, the wages of sin is not penance. The wages of sin is not prayer, Lord, forgive me. I'm sorry. That's not the wages of sin. When you pray, it shows repentance. But the wages of sin Romans six twenty three. Is what death. So for Sein to be a pune for of necessity, that must be death. So when Jesus died, remember I've told you already, from incarnation to seamless life, he qualified to be the lamb that takes away the sins of the world. So when he died, it means the prize for Sein was paid. As we started the resurrection. You're going to see that the resurrection is a proof that that prize was accepted by God. And I have taught you here before. There are two things that I must foreseen to be forgiven, expiation and propitiation. Expiation is washing the way of sins. Propitiation is to atone for the anger or the wrath of God. Both of them was met by the death of Jesus. When he died, in fact, blood was peeled from Jesus in seven places, when he was coached at the pillar, when its peered was. Removed, when he was pierced on the wrist, when. He was pierced on the leg, when the crown of tongs was put on him, and where he was piers on the side. Seven times seven is the number of completion. That's why at the cross he said, it is finished. He has completely paid the price for seeing by his what substitutionality death. So the first implication of his death is that the price for seing was paid in food. The second implication of his death is that the power of seeing and the power of Satan was broken. It's not enough to pay the price for see if you don't break the power of scein saying, we still want to hold mental captivity. That's why Paul said sin shall no longer have dominion, because the power of seine is death. When he paid the price of death, he dismantled see. The Bible said in first John three eight. For this cost, the son of Man was made manifest, that he might destroy the works of the devil Colossians two, fourteen and fifteen. The Bible reveals to us the ordinances that were built on account of seeing were. Dismantled, and Satan. Was also disarmed, he said, blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that were against us, which was contrary to us, he said, took it out of the way, nalling it to the cross. And in the next verse, if they have been spoiled principalities and powers, he made a public show of them, triumphing over them by the cross. So it is on account of his death that set and lost his power over you, and that scene also lost his power over you. In Hebrews two fourteen and fifteen is said, for. As much then as the children were partakers or flesh, I'm blored, is that he also likewise took part of the same, the true death, true death. Now, if any demon threatens you, this is your strength. You're fasting may create a consciousness. You're praying may create a consciousness. But this is what certain respects that they can't teach you. So if you don't know this, even if you first and pray, I'm not saying don't first, I'm not saying don't pray. But if you don't know this, even if you first and pray, you'll be powerless. Is that for as small than. As the children were partakers of flesh and blood, he also. Himself likewise took part of the same. The truth death he might destroy him that has the power of death, that is who the devil. So in his death he disarm Sater. Concerning your life, certain is powerless. Anything certain those in your life today you permitted it, either through ignorance or through rebellion. If you say no, there's nothing certain can do. So anything happening to you check a certain responsible. If yes, you already delivered your rights up in your authority. He has no choice Verse fifteen. See what the Bible says and deliver them. Did you see that word and deliver them? Pull through fear of death? Were all their lifetime subject to bondage. So the power of death was fear. Certain comments you tell me you you can't do anything, But when you look at the death of Jesus, it should remind you that you have been to you of a seata. So I don't challenge demons because of me. I challenge demons because of the death of Jesus. They have the authority of aur because I failed. When Jesus died, he replaced me, so they no longer have authority. So when I confront any devil, what is madness important? What is death causing? Demon? I rebuilt them straight, and that's why we do it in the name of Jesus. That means we are coming in the name of the one who died. Many Christians don't know this, as simple as it is, they don't know it. Certain she torments them. So he destroyed the power of Sinan sat and then he established the New Covenant Hebrews ninety sixteen. A covenant cannot take effect except after the death of the Testato, So when he died, he released the power of the New Covenant. Look twenty two twenty. He told us in the corp with his symbolic of his blood, is that this is the corp of the new Covenant, in my blood. So he's dead brings us into the era of Greece. It opens us into the New Covenant. So now we have relationship with God, we have victory in Christ, and we function and we are sustained by the resources of God unconditionally. This is what is death made available. And then. He is dead. Also number three demonstrated God's love for humanity. Every time I preach about the cross, this is where I like to dwell God's love for humanity. John three sixteen. For God's soul love the world, and the cave is only be good and soul. Now who's whoever believed in him should not perish, but had the lasting life. So the greatest demonstration of God's love was in the death of Jesus Christ. That's why Romance Aptatito said, if it did not withhold his son but giv him freely for us, how should he not with him give us a thing? You know what Christians do. They don't know the love of God. So when a Christian is in trouble. He perceives that God loves an apostle or a prophet specially. So because he perceived that God loves that apostle so much, he now asked the apostle to please pray to God for him. Soblimally, that's all consciousness. I know ministers are in offices that gives them some level of empowerment. But I also know that many believers approach certain ministers because they think God loves them in a special way. They love God has for all of us is equal. In fact, they can't love us more. Their love is already at the zenit. And if you know this, you can approach him bodily with confidence, knowing that whatever you ask he will give. Look at Philippians, chapter two, verse five to it. If you have the message version project it. We don't know the extent of love God demonstrated as I think of yourself the way Jesus Christ thought of himself. He said he had equal statoos with God, but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to. The advantages of that status. No matter what. He's trying to reveal the love of God to you. So he wants to show you what Jesus. Gave up to gain you. Number one, He gave up these tattoos of divinity. Do you know what men do to be perceived as honorable people, to have certain status in society. Some take it through manipulation and exaggeration. Some pay money to gain titles, so they call them modogu. They pay, They do everything to have statues. People will kill to be called president, killed to be called governor. First for the feeling of being addressed assaults than the privileges. You don't want to know the privileges that positions bring. Why do you think some of our politicians they went into power twenty four years ago, they have not done anything, but they will leave. They know they are people better than them who can have humanity. But when they think of their privileges from their locations to go on holidays, it's so bad that when they come to plinary city, they pay them than professors who are what in the university. Meanwhile, when they come they have nothing to say. They are quarreling and arguing. But they would die to remain senletters. They would die to remain governors. If you study Africa Africa politics, there are people who have been presidents for more than thirty years, some forty. Some African countries are still the second Republic. Oh guys, oh, now he is having dementia. They are carrying him up and down, but he will remain there. He doesn't know when last he bought food. Food comes because of the office. He doesn't know where lost he brought casts, cass come because of the office. People, houses come, don't you know? In our country they are renovating houses in billions, renovation. Meanwhile, these people don't live there. They say renovation. Those are privileges. Opposition k you for it. Jesus didn't give up the privilege of a president. He didn't give up the privilege of a king. He gave up the privilege of a god. And they only through God for that matter. So he left that statoos, He left that privilege. And when he left that privilege, they didn't promise him anything but anything comparable. See what he took. And say when the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the tattoos of his slave. Our politicians don't want to leave power and become citizens. Jesus left godhood and became slave. Meanwhile, all of that was. To save you. You don't know the love of God. If you do, there's nothing too big for God to give you. It would just become number to you that when there is a need. That's why Paul said, if he gave his only begot in son, how share he not with him? If you know what Jesus gave up to gain you, number one, your life will be committed to him forever. And number two not You'll be too big for you to ask fair to horising you with audacity. Go back. To the previous verse, write it down status privileges. Then it took upon himself the status of a slave. Then he became human. That means creator. Reading wished the position of creator and took the position of creation. John de Baptist is baptizing Jesus. Mary is carrying Jesus in hahomb. God was there for nine months, so free was every child of us. When he was born. Herold said he will kill him. You will kill him, And because he was a hapless child, had to escape with God to Egypt. Now you don't know what that means. Go and meet somebody who is the previous president and threatening him. Go on, threaten a previous president, or go on, threaten a retired ami general. If you survive, if that man forgives you, he will hate himself for life. Try it. You will see the pride that comes with testing power. You talk to somebody who was the president, he will God the current president and said they must kid you, and before they kill you, they should take everything from you and destroy you in the way that you will forget. You will die and still remember how you died. But God was being led at night to escape, and Jesus followed them. God was in the wood of a woman he endeed it. You need to see this courgen at the pillar. They spat at him. That's the love of God. It became human. Jesus leaves. Jesus is hungry. He looks for food to eat. Jesus goes to toilet. God that all he knew was to sit on the throne and angels bow to waship. When did you become like this for you? And he didn't come because we're pleasing. He came because of you. He knows you so much that the Bible said, even the heir of your head is numbered. So he became human. Next verse, having become human, he stayed human, and the Bible said it was an incredibly humbling process. He didn't claim special privileges as a human. He was an ordinary human. Instead, he'll lived what selflessly? Number five, selfless life, the self denier the privileges that belong to him, he gave it to others. Number six. He was obedient. They now told him how to live. They said, I can't do anything on to you what I see the Father. So Jesus now waits for instruction. God waits to be told where to live, how to work, what to say, what not to say, and he lived like that for thirty three years. As if obedience is not enough, the Bible said, he obaid unto death, and not just death, but the death of a criminal the homey naked on the cross. If these things happened to an ordinary man is enough, But when it happened to a noble is terrible. Then when it happens to a god, you can't explain it. Can you imagine that a non president, or a non superstar, as we call it in the language of men, is hung naked on the street. You can't imagine that shame? The shame we kill you. Then, the creator of all the head naked and barrassed before his creation. You know, I thought this thing two years ago, and I showed you some pictures to give you an idea of what Jesus went through. Because he made himself an ornary man, so he felt it the way man we feel it and much more. When he was at the guardian praying the guardian of. Gatsamani, the Bible said it was a melancholic experience. The sweat coming out of him was like cloths of blood. That's the highest level of fear and depression. After going through that fear, for about three hours plus, then now arrested him. Bible's connar said, sometime between midnight now to show you the wickedness in the heart of this. Man, he was crucified at nine am. Between midnight and nine am, he went through. Six trials six three Jewish triers, three Roman triers overnight. That's about eight hours. He went through six triers. They wanted to kill. Him by all means. All the Jewish triers found him beauty because they were wicked. The Romans, who didn't know God, say was innocent. PI. Let's say I've not found a new offense in this man. Even at that, they said, crucify him. Don't tell him they picked a non criminal God Barabbas in the Press of Jesus. Imagine the people you you prayed for, the people you healed, the people you raise from the dead, the people you gave food, the people who gave money. All of them stand in front of him. I say, you are teeth. Crucify him and wondering. I came to your house when your thought I was sick, I prayed she was healed. When you need that food, I came, I gave you food. You caught me at midnight, I left, I went to pray for you, all of them God, and were shouting crucify him, as if that's not enough. When they now said to crucify him, it was the worst type. Now, crucifixion already it's the worst type of death. But Jesus, his own was the worst, because in the history of the romance, you don't scurge a man and crucify him. If you scotch a man, scourgion was enough, you. Let him go. If you crucifire man, then you don't scotch him. They scourged and crucify Jesus. I send them a jonah jonah of American Doctors Society. They did an investigation on the physical. Death of Jesus and the conclusions they came out with, And I'll tell them to project the link on our handles, go and download it and read it. These are not Christians. This has collars. They says that that to study the physical death of Jesus, what they came up with. I only came with the pictures to show you to give you an idea. Show me the picture where they tied him to the stick to scourging. The way they did it was to They carried the fat tree, planted it and locked your hands so that you can't shake. That means when they are scorching you, you can't turn, and they strip you naked. When they scotched you, they can they use to whip you. They attached bones and metals to it, so anytime they white pe it pulled. Off your skin. There were records that said they whipped somebody like that, and the thing thought the interest time and things came out. Somebody else was cotched like that. The whole pack was killed off the saw bones. That's how the team enters. They whip you and clear your skin. So every time the white people they bullet, your skin comes out, so that when the finish beating you, because of the volume of fluid you we lose. You will die of taste. If you don't die of hot vinel. This is codding. And the Romance don't flock at nine is the Jews that flopped at nine. The Romance flock until they are tired. So the people beating you, they bit. You onto their faith. When the finish coaching you like this, if life remains in you, then your message woke for you. After they scotched him. They now took him tracking with the cross for close to a kilometer to God gotter. He lost so much with that that short Johnny. He felt three times he couldn't work, and nobody would give him anything to drink. Historians said, when his face was wiped, blood stains crested the mark of his. Face on the handkerchief. Everywhere was bleeding. Can I show you the scripture that described this punishment Isaiah fifty two, verse fourteen, give me the passion translation. When they finished beating Jesus, that alone would have been enough. See the way Isaiah fifty two, verse fourteen describe him after he was called tp Give me the passion translation, he said, just as many were at poor. You know the word a pod? Who is an English person here the highest level irritation. When you saw him, you are like, what is this? You couldn't describe it. It's a many way a pod. At the sight of him for so mad, you know the word mad? This si God, so this figured was his appearance like an object of horror when he came out of this country. If you saw him, you thought he was an object of horror. And he said he no longer looked like a man. They literally disfigured him, and they didn't stop there. They now gave him the cross, carried it and went to gold gotter. Then they began crucifixion. In crucifixion, they knew you at your wrist because the idea was for you to hang there until you suffocate. You know, the word excruciating didn't exist until the Romance start are crucifying people because the words cruciating comes from the word cruciating, and the word cruciate comes from crucify, so it's excruciating. It's actually a pain you feel when you are crucified, because there's no plaining in that class. When a man is crucified, his whole weight hangs on his wrist and the only support he has are the nails on his tools. And when they crucify you, you saw a picture of Male Gibson where you went straight. You can be straight when they crucify you, because you're back. There's no space to stand straight. You have to turn side wish to hang because this is how you hang. Your weight actually hangs on your wrist. If you are tired and you want to gainst more balance, you not push it on your toe. That's on the knail. That's why when they wanted to kill the criminals, they broke their legs. And the reason is. Because when you are hanging, your stomach is bent so that your diaphragm can't breathe, he can't enter. So Jesus was there for six hours. You know what that means. For six hours. Every time he breathed, he had to pull himself up. So he pulled himself on a nail up to breathe for six hours. He will pull off, breathe, go back, pull off. For six hours. Remember his back is already torn, so as he's pulling off, he's feeling pains on the wrist, his back is cropping on the cross, and his leg. Is feeling pain. To breathe and go back. Every breath was death. For you. Switch hours. And they were mocking him at the same time. So there was sonish torture. There was physical torture. As if that's not enough, he carried scene on him. So God was more connected to him at the time. God had took puny way, so there was spirit to a torture, sonish torture. Bodily torture. Soone saw that they cried alloy, alloy. Nama said, Batai, my God, my God, why has down forsaking me? It's like disconnection between your spirit and your soul. So the man was no longer alive. He died in the spirit before he died in the natural. The level of pain. We don't know what was done for us in six hours. Can you imagine and guess what his mother was there? Can you stand neked before your mother? This is the man that the mother saw do wonders. How come? Imagine when he looked at their faces, say what you've been to pretay? Somebody saying why, how come? Why can't you do anything today? Then the Jewish people were mocking physician, heal yourself? Fact prophet, I thought, you say you had miracles? Why don't you come down? The things that were on the cross, one was mocking him. So from everywhere. Meanwhile, all the sicknesses on act were on him on the cross. You have cancer, you say it's painful. He had cancer. The abbatism Fatiti, oh that day have the Senate because he carried sickness a carriage scene and he carried the reproach, the reproach of God. You don't know the reproach of God until you go to hell. So for those six hours he was in hell fire until the point came when the prize was paid. He looked on and say, I'm tasty. They gave him Venegary said, no, that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the river that flows from the throne of God. I'm looking for that which satisfies. Indeed, when they didn't have it to offer, he said, it is finished. And he said, Father, onto you, I commit my spirit. I commit because they could don't kill him. They could don't kill No, you don't kill him. This commandment I've received from my father. I have the power to lay down my life and to take it off. So he felt all those pains keeping his life inside him. He had the choice to give up the ghost early. But if he gave up the goods before this courging, the sacrifice soon be complete. That's why it is more painful. He had the power to say no, no, I did bad. But he kept his life and suffered the pain from this courging, to the shame, to the reproach, to the embarrassment, to the flogging, to the crucid Dixon until he checked and saw that the sacrifice was complete because he had the choice of letting you go to Hell of keeping you while he stays in hell. He chose to stay in hell. Ah h, don't try me down. There's no sacrifice without. This suit. Follow me, No, don't bout the doors. That's no snow. Mhm. This you inform me, No, no clue. We have a run. That's no sacrifice without. This you've before me. No that, no lod without your that's no saprivise without problem. Oh this you inform me? No me, We love. No b We have the BCE.

Party sudy boy. No, no, no, not that. Let's not sad be fice with thy children. The suit. Oh m hm mm hmmm mm hmmm. Go don't we do? There's no sacrifice without juggling. How did you need bother?

No be with that? M hm hm. M m m oh, don't be without. Don't we done a bus? That's not sacrifice. You don't kill all least you neat? Boy? Don't we without? Yeah? Well, love me with God? You know the Bible said, for God so loved the world. We don't know. For God so loved the world. That he gave his only begotten someone that whoshoever believe that in him should not perish, but have ever lasted life. The sum is that what is man that doubt mindful of him? Believe me, you can't do this for yourself, let alone do for another, even as a man, then doing it as God? Say, behold what manner of love. The Father has best can upon us. That way, it should be called the sons of God. This is what you do, and this is why God won't judge anybody again who is in Christ. It's called the Lord double Japardy. He has passed the judgment already, he has been atoned. This is why God does not want anything evil to happen to his children. All the sicknesses have been carried, The shame has been born, the rejection has been born. It is now illegal for you to be rejected. It is now illegal for you to be oppressed. No, God won't take it. This is why it's a call upon me the deay of trouble. Because when Jesus body is God void, the demonstration of the love of God. This is the wilds Can we lift our hands and just give him dunce mortron We now the cross? Yes, that's all acrifice without the br. Balling. Do't don't love me down before crowd, We low across have no sacrifice. We own the Lord. How this union including me. Don't row me out the cross? Dad, We've have. Hobby? Is you do for me? No love me? No down? We now. Now across, said Poul for me. With the death of Jesus opened the way of salvation to humankind. Please say down, I'm rounding up John three sixteen. O. God who loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, and who ever believed in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. The death of Jesus established a new covenant. The death of Jesus broke the power of Sain and Satan. The death of Jesus paid the prize for our saints, and the death of Jesus completed the payment and completed the cycle of judgment, so that redemption is truly truly available. In John nineteen thirty, Jesus said, it is finished. There's nothing that can be added anymore. It's finished. If you first, you first because you love God. If you're first, you're fast. Because you are stearing your spirit to release what's inside, or your first thing can't add anything. It's finished. If you pray, you pray because you love God. You pray to stare your spirit. You can't add anything. It's finished. If you give, you give because you honor God. If you give, you give because you worship God. If you give, you give because you advance God's kingdom. You can't add anything's finished. Only him deserve the glory. You know, on that night of cross a fiction, you can imagine the hopelessness that the apostles felt. We thought it was the Messiah, because the Scripture had not yet opened to them. We thought he could do all things. Why is this way it ends? Is this how this journey will end? There was gloominess, there was fear that was unsettainty for three days and for three nights. But the Bible said in March twenty eighth, from verse one, the glory was about to heat the sea. You know, the Bible said, for the glory that was set before him, he. Endured the pain, he endured the shame, He endeared the cross. He said in the end of this sabbath. Wait, it was the Saturday evening, and at the beginning of town, towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene, and they ordered Mary to decepochal, hopeless, fearful. I wish I'm able to celebrate well, because when I think about the death of Jesus, I can't my spirit comfort on me. Because it was a moment of hopelessness. Suddenly, a moment of glory. It's a transition that you can't explain. Behold, there was a great earthquake, for the anger of the Lord descended from heaven. You know, the death of Jesus shows God's love, but the. Resurrection shows God's power. The death was a demonstration of the love of God. The resurrection was the demonstration. Of his power. He died as a lamb, but he rose as a lion. An angel descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it. The stone can't keep him in the grave. It was not a cross that held him. He held the cross alight. You could imagine how the angels were with ing to scatter the Roman and it. Oh, you could imagine how the Holy ghoust was waiting to spare him on that cross. But there was a restrain so that you will not die. E fact, his countenance was like lightning. What the whole battalion of soldiers were got him. One angel came like Tonda. His railmant was white as snow. And for fear. For fear is that they keep us shook and became a stadler. H m. The scene boys, fuck oh see by so when they were arresting him. He had the power. When they were knelling him. He had the power when they were fugging him. They had the power. But he was restrained by love. He said. When the soldiers saw him, they shook and fed as dead man. Verse fine is the And the Angel answered and said, onto the women, fear not, for I know that you seek Jesus, which was crucified. But this is the good news. He is no longer here, for he is reasy. Ah, he's sad. He is rasy. Ah, He's sad, he is crazy reason, he's reasy. He is reason, he is readsa. And he leaves. Forever more. He is resy, he is realy. The resurrection of the. Jesus fly. For ever more. He's he's we. Here. It is. Romance one, verse three and four. Oh imagine how hopeless would that be if he didn't run. Oh, I can imagine the fear of the apostles as a concerning his son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, which was made of the seed of David, that cut into the flesh. But declared to be the son of God, not by theories. That's why I love the resurrection. You know that, and come to him if you are the son of God. It is not talka is a power beyond the one you know. He was declared to be. The son of God with power according to the Spirit of Holiness, by the resurrection from the death. The reason we know he's the son of God, it's not just because it was prophesied. It's because death couldn't hold him back. He defied the grief. He rose from the death. This is where Christianity begins from. This is where Christianity begins from the resurrection. And that's why the Johnny begins with power. They say, as many as believed him to them. He gave the power to pay God, the sons of God. The power is resurrection. Do you see why nothing can defeat you? Because the power in you now is the power beyond the grief. The power in you now is the power beyond death. I won't say much tonight because of time about the resurrection. I will preach it another day so that you will know what we according to. But very quickly sit down for the purpose of teaching. Write this down and then we' we dance. I want you to God yourself. I'm still very sober, Oh Jesus, Sometimes I got to pray and I lie down, and the Holy Girls begins to reveal to me the death of Jesus. What was done for me? I weep, I weep. Oh. I could not have loved anybody like that. It's not even within our propensity to love that much. Only God could love that way. That's why we honor him, and that's why we have faith in him. His faithfulness is beyond human comprehension. What's the implication of his resurrection? It demonstrated and proved him to be the son of God. He was declared to be the son of God Romance one form through the spirit of Holiness, by power, through the Spirit of Holiness, and by the resurrection from the dead, we make to call him the son of God. Number two was the implication of the resurrection. He defeated death and the grief. First Corinthians fifteen fifty five to fifty seven, Oh Death, where is your sting? Oh grave? Here is your victory verse fifty six. The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law verse fifty seven. But thanks be to God, we gave us victory through. Our Lord Jesus Christ. We have victory over Sein. We have victory over death. We have victory over the grief because of his resurrection. Number three was the implication of his resurrection. It affects the truth of the gospel. It proves that the gospel is not fake. First Cori fifteen three and four. He died according to scriptures, buried according to scriptures, rose from the dead according to scriptures. Paul said in Fresco Corinthians fifteen fourteen that if Christ were not reason, then our preaching is vain and our faith is vain. So the substance, the power of our message is the reservtion. The reason we speak the resoretion healing happens is because the grave is stronger than sickness, and if it defeated the grave, sickness as no choice. The reason we picked the resolution demon squak is because they held him in the grave. He's cuttered all of them. Nothing could hold him bound, not even the grief. That's why the gospel is powerful. The resurrection is the proof. Number four. Why is the resurrection important? It guarantees our own resurrection First co Intiance fifteen. Seventeen to twenty two. We will rise again. We know. We are not hoping what we tomorrow be like. We know our place in eternity. And only Christians do know that religion has an assurance, because who they follow is see rot in the grief, only I will save your ruse is there, Christ be not raised, your faith is vain, and you are in your scenes, then they also, of which are falling asleep in Christ, are perished. Is the if in dislife only we have hope, we have all men most miserable. So anybody who doesn't believe in Jesus is a miserable person. He may not have realized it, but he will very soon when it departs from this body. He will know. At the hour of his departure, he will sense his hopelessness. That's why when they want to die, they are afraid. Not we absence from the body is present with the law. We know where we are going. Is that? But now, if Christ is risen from the dead, he is become the fast fruit of them that's left. That means everybody who's slept we follow suit verse twenty one, For since by one man came dead, by one man, also came the resurrection of the dead, and vers twenty two. For us in Adam all died. Even so in Christ, all that believes in Him is made alive. We have hoped beyond time. Christianity is not a religion. Is God that work in the man, and that work does not end in time, even in eternity, it continues. I need to activate at the resurrection. Why is the resurrection important? It justifies us before God when we come to God. Now we come as children, not as strangers, not as sin us. Romans four twenty five. He said, He was delivered for our sins and raised from the dead for our justification. And Romans five to one. He said, being freely justified by faith, we have peace with God. We have peace. And then finally, because of time. Why is the resurrection important? It impacts to every believer the power of resurrection efficients one. If you read from verse seventeen to twenty, you see that the zenit of what God gave us is the power of resurrection. He said, He's praying for the Church, that the God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give one to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, that the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling. And what is the riches of the glory of the inheritance of. The saints in Christ verse nineteen, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to Oswald who believed according to the working of his mighty power which he wrote in Christ when he raised him from the dead. So that power is at working on us. That's why when we tell you declare you can't die, it's not motivation. There's a power that is activated by your faith and declaration. That's why when we. Tell you declare, somebody is healed, it happens. There's the power that leaves you. But we said declare that you can't fail. Is the power you are provoking? Is there the resurrection in Patsy? And that's why the adoprine of the resoretion is the docrine of proofs infallible proofs. And that proof is not just demonstrated in arguing that Jesus Ruse, is demonstrated in your superiority of our art teams in life, because if he rose, it means nothing about death can exist. When his name is invoked. This is the power of a Christian. That price is. Raising and is raised with him, whether personally or outwardly in Romans eight eleven is if that sends me, that. Raised of Jesus from the dead leaves in you, he will quick in your body. He will quick in. He quickens you, and that power is in you to quick in others. So when you step out, you are not part of a religion. You carry the resurrection power. Sickness can survive when you talk. Death can survive when you talk. Failure or can survive because the biggest sickness, the biggest. Failure is death. It's safe. And Jesus defy the grief. He defied death so that you can walk in that reality. So the Bible said in Romans six four that in baptism with partook of is dead, so that we can also function in the newness of life. So the resurrection brings us into a new order of life. Is the glory of life. It's not emotional. You can wake up from. Sleep and demonstrate God because that power is in you. You can be in the market and demonstraight gold. I'm giving you a business to leave. The supernatural life. Don't hear things like this and go back and leave norma. He impattered that power in you so that you can leave beyond fault. You can leave beyond death, you can leave beyond destruction. But it only works when you believe and when you declare. Every Christian is a champion, Every Christian is more than a conqueror, and that's the testimony of our faith. You want to speak, first of all, to appreciate him and then secondly to address anything that is contrary to God's blessings. That's the two assignments will be doing tonight, and you will do it for yourself. Because Jesus didn't die for me alone. Neither was he reason from the dead for me alone. He died for you, and he rose for you. So where you are seated, begin to thank him for his death, for his barrier, and for his reservation. Do that for one minute, and then begin to address anything that is did death in your life, from failure to sickness, to death, to torment to oppression. Don't tolerate anything tonight. Give us some sound there, Thank you Jesus, Esus. Beautiful dat. What a beautiful dames. Doesn't bo geez. Cris f. What a beautiful dame is. Nothing compasted me? What a beautiful dat? By? What a beautiful day? Why? Seven day? By God, What a beauty podat? Why let be called person? You call pasty? Why a beauty pdat. Hoday w. Two things you must live this service with tonight. It's number one, an assurance of God's love for you. It's beyond what you can never know. It's past understanding, it's beyond human comprehension. And then number two is an assurance of God's power. That love was so strong that he died for you, and that power was so strong that he rose from the dead and defy degree. Carry this to consciousness. This is the foundation of Christianity. If you don't know it, you don't know what Christianity is. Now stretch for to your right hand. You can stand now and decree judgment anything you consider not a blessing, anything you consider an attack, anything you consider fighting against your destiny. Don't You don't need to be emotional. Declare as one sure that he carries. Authority and command acted to live your life now commanded to leave you now commanded. Don't work for posson, don't work for me. Anybody who wants. To tet what belongs to you, Stop them, now, stop them. He rose from the dead, I rose with him, so I know notice. It, not by saying, not by Satan, not by circumstances, not. By man, God, those godders, God. Goads scudders, God scudders, God scud scudders. Nothings upon dog. O, yours wording. About Coco stand to skydus Nodo starts shut to talk. Scott got shut us Dodo starnost a little. He's being able to tell me, won't you, mister dame. He hop. The two things, the two things that determine the quality of our Christianity. It is number one, our depth, the depth of our understanding of the love of God, and it is pronsled by our revelation of His death. Number two is the dept of our understanding of the power of His resurrection. If you don't have these two things by experience, your Christianity will see you weak and laughing. For you as you leave this service, all of the blessings of the walks of Christ will benifest in your life. And everything you have declared in the next seventy two hours. I decreated this tone, you know, I said seven to two hours, and seventy two hours it died. It was bury than a rose. That means nothing is permitted to exceed seventy two hours. Then movement from death to life to seven two hours. I say, in the next seven to two hours, everything you have declared is done for you in Jesus name. Keep the Lord the shop. I didn't come tonight to pray for anyone or make declaration. I wanted you to catch it so that you do it for yourself. Now. If you are here and you have never surrendered to Jesus, there's no better reason, and there's no better time. This is why you must. No body can ever love you as much as he does, and he has demonstrated by that love by taking your judgment, taking. Your condemnation, so that you can take his life and his glory. This is your opportunity. You want to lift your hands and say, Jesus today I surrender to you completely as my Lord and Savior. Can I see that hand? Lift it inside in the overflow wherever you are. It will be a big error not to lead people to Christ lift it properly. Don't be ashamed. I'm seeing hands lifted ash as you can stand by them. Pray this prayer with me, say, dear Heavenly Father, I believe it all my heart. That Jesus is your son. I believe it died for my sins. He was buried, and on the third day he rolled again from the dead tonight before your children. I confess with my mound at the same Jesus is my savior and my Lord. I surrender to him completely all the days of my life. I receive eternal life into my spirit. I am born again. Thank you, Father for receiving me. In Jesus' name, I have declared. May the Lord keep you, causes face to shine upon you, lift off his countenance over you, and give you peace. You're going out and coming in his blessed and from today you see the glory of God. Ushas help them those who lifted their hands. Walk to the eye. Walk to the eye. The Ushas will guide you to the back and speak with you briefly. Can you give the Lord the big hand glory to God. See why we shot glory all the time. He deserves it. He deserves it. You want to celebrate Jesus. Give him a shower.
