so church with that let's stand and open
up our Bibles to Romans chapter 8 Romans
chapter 8 I've had a plan about going
from verse one then from verse 2 to 5
and from 5 to 11 and I've just abandoned
all of that uh to what I hope is just
the will of God um here is one of the
Glorious chapters some will say the
greatest chapter for the believer in all
of the Bible it begins by announcing
there is therefore now no condemnation
to those who are in Christ Jesus and it
ends with there's no separation of The
Believer from God and as one scholar
pointed out right in the middle of the
book it also adds and there's no defeat
to the Christian so this is the glory
this is the this is the crowning High
Mark of uh biblical New Testament
theology no doubt um so I I've resigned
to this we're going to go through it as
we go through it we're going to be done
with chapter 8 when we're done
so don't ask me again can you pick up
the pace Pastor it's taking so long
where are you going anyway it's the book
of Romans it's the B best place to park
if you're going to park so that's what
we're going to do Romans chapter 8 I'll
begin reading in verse one if you'll
take it down to the section we will end
someday in verse 8 there is therefore
now no condemnation to those who are in
Christ Jesus who do not walk according
to the flesh but according to the spirit
the
Christus
free for what the law could not do
notice the law is limited in what it can
perform in that it was weak through the
flesh God did by sending his own son in
the likeness of sinful flesh and you
would say why would he do that on
account of sin he condemned sin in the
flesh the
[Applause]
us not ACC
to to verse five for those who live
according to the flesh set their minds
on the things of the flesh but those who
live according to the spirit the things
of the
[Applause]
spirit peace verse seven because the
carnal mind the mind that thinks fleshly
thoughts is at war against God for it is
not subject to the law of God nor indeed
can
be father bless the going forth of your
word to our hearts we pray and after
it's in our hearts God may it go to our
feet and to our hands to our mouths in
this world we pray in Jesus name and all
God God's people said am amen you may be
seated Church we're looking at uh this
series that we've titled the Declaration
of dependence and that is the dependence
of the believer upon God and that is the
great lesson that the Apostle is
teaching us having come out of Romans
chapter 7 and him announcing the
frustrations of the battle of the
Christian Life that what we want to do
desire to do long to do as a believer we
find ourselves often crippled derailed
or sometimes sidelined by the power of
the flesh that Wars against our brand
new spiritual passions we have spiritual
passions for God now as a Believer and I
told you before that Romans 7 is viewed
by scholars in different ways and I
happen to be in a camp I'll admit I
happen to be in a camp of a few and that
is this I believe Paul as a believer is
not recounting his previous Christ uh
non-Christian days I believe that when
he was he was not a Christian he felt
fine about his relationship with God in
other places he writes about his
achievements Hebrew of the Hebrews
circumcised The Eighth Day concerning
Zeal more energetic than anybody else
the knowledge of the word he said that
he was just beyond everybody else and
that concerning righteousness he said
nobody came close close to me then he
met
Jesus and you could just see
the you can see the air come out of him
the hot air that is the religious
self-righteous hot air come out of him
and he woke up to the realization that
he was the chief of
Sinners you cannot view yourself as the
chief of Sinners without meeting Jesus
and so to me Romans 7 is him telling us
this is what the life of the flesh is
all about and oh by the way now that
you're a Christian notice that you have
a real war that goes on now see I thank
God for Romans chapter 7 because it
tells me that if the great Apostle had a
struggle then it surely answers the
issues I have in my
life I I'm I hope I speak for you none
of us wake up in the morning and say oh
man how can I sin
today no we wake up as Believers saying
Lord what are we going to do today
what's going to go on today and then
when we get slammed by a bad thought or
a Temptation we're the ones that are
disgusted we don't try to hide it we run
straight to God with it we say Lord I I
just wanted this to be the best day with
you and I and then I had this bad
thought and God says that's nothing
listen confess that to me e homo say the
same word to me that I've said about it
Lord It's sin it's selfishness it was
tempered it was anger it was lustful it
was
egocentric and that sick and it put you
on the cross and Jesus says thank you
for that now get up and go and you get
up and you go and uh where do you go
Romans chapter
8 there there is therefore now no
condemnation to those who are in Christ
Jesus church uh we learned that in the
in the very first verse and it's this
that the Christian's Declaration of
dependence is wrapped up in the fact
that we have absolute freedom now
Freedom there is therefore remember no
never cannot be ever condemnation to
those who are in that's a qualifying
statement in Christ Jesus we'll learn
more about this today but in Christ
Jesus friends jot it down the Born Again
believer must have
biblically it's clear
experiences the fullness of Salvation
and the full Assurance of Salvation are
we still struggling yes but is our
hearts set on a pilgrimage to Christ yes
do we want to live for God in every way
shape and form
yes this fact about you and I
experiencing the full Assurance of
Salvation is throughout scripture and it
should be something that brings you
great
comfort don't answer out loud do you
want Jesus Christ to rule and reign in
your life if the answer to that is yes
it's because the Holy Spirit lives in
you and because the spirit of God is in
you it's his job and it's his love to
get you all the way through into heaven
and you're not going to be born again
you were born again that's how he moved
in Imagine you see a house for sale
these days it's happening on my street
there's a house for sale soon as a sign
went up there was a stream of cars
and there was a line of people trying to
get in to buy the house and in this day
and age it's absolutely crazy because I
was told that people are bringing
briefcases of
cash you got to be
crazy but people want to buy homes so
badly that they're bringing the cash
right to the
moment wow what does that mean that
means you're serious that means they
want to move in now somebody told me
that somebody came uh to their home to
buy their house they paid uh tens of
thousands over the asking price just to
get the house and then when they got in
the house they said you know what we
like the house um you you get your
clothes
leave leave your furniture everything
you can take the food if you want but
we'll take it all and listen think about
that for a moment the holy spirit moves
in and says here you go um okay this
stuff you go this stuff I want this as
out of this house now all of your
cussing drinking drugs all of your stuff
you that goes out throw it on the street
that goes out on the street I'm moving
in now and he moves in and he takes over
and he might he might arrange some
furniture he might move a few pictures
in your life that's called
sanctification that's where he goes to
work in your life and every day of every
month of every year of your life he's
arranging things making you more like
Jesus it takes an entire lifetime for
that why is it happening because you're
Born Again from the start the house the
house was sold to Jesus he bought it at
a great price as the price of his blood
and with that you ought to walk and live
with an absolute freedom that we saw in
numerous ways and that's a joyful thing
and so just remember
that in fact listen to this in John chap
10: 28 we'll hit on this verse at least
twice today in our study John 10:28 to30
Jesus
said I said Jesus
said I almost sound like a great black
preacher from the south I said I said
Jesus
said that's the way it's supposed to be
I'm sure that's how it is in the Greek
language Jesus
said I give them eternal
life notice Moses isn't saying it Jesus
is saying it I give them eternal life
they shall never perish is he talking
talking about you he's talking about me
you want to know why I'm so comfortable
in saying that because I know I can't
save
myself I give them eternal life
they shall never perish neither shall
anyone snatch them out of my hands I
read that to include me
myself I cannot snatch myself out of his
hands I find great comfort in that if
you don't don't tell me about it because
I love I love that security uh verse
29 my father who has given them to me so
don't you love that if you're a
Christian Christ follower today you are
a Christ follower today because the
father has sent you to Jesus by the
power of the Holy Spirit and by the
power of the Holy Spirit Christ lives in
you so the father sent all those who
will come to Christ were sent by the
father I love that my father who has
given them to me is greater than all and
no one is able to snatch them out of my
father's hand I and my father are one
now I was going to show you a drawing
that I did years ago I can't find it
it's pretty cool but I drew a drawing of
a set of hands right or one hand right
here and it had the father had like a
ring on it with the father it said
father and then on top there's another
set another hand and and it had a ring
and it said Jesus and I I was in the
middle there was some lettuce I had Lett
is hanging
out um like a tomato hanging out and at
the end was my head and I'm like
this you see well that's crazy no I want
that picture to stick in your head Jesus
said you're in my hand you're in my
father's hand you're like a Salvation
sandwich okay you're like a born again
burrito I got you my father's got you
and I got you and I love that and that
is great assur and that's great absolute
freedom that Christ provides for us
there is therefore now no condemnation
to those who are in Christ Jesus
absolutely
glorifying so listen we pick it up or we
recap before we pick it up second
argument was found in Verses 2 to three
and that is sin's condemnation the
reason why we have a declaration of
dependence upon God is because sin was
judged by Jesus Christ at the cross
three ways remember last week that
produced for us a new law that's in
effect it's the law of God's love it's
the law of God's grace it's the law of
God's spirit at work in our lives not
the Ten Commandments anymore that was
complete the Ten Commandments pointed us
to Christ The Ten Commandments brought
us to the place of frustration we can't
be good enough and when you throw your
arms up in frustration that's when the
spirit comes in and says good are you
ready now have you come to the end of
yourself yes good there's a new lawn
effect that new law is What God Says
through Christ at the cross that all
those who will look unto him shall be
saved we saw that there's a new power in
place thank God for this power I said
this last week if you're trying to be a
Christian and it's really sweaty it's
really tough and it's really bloody and
you've done so much to try to improve
yourself all all you have is the luck of
the Lord that's a joke you don't the
Lord doesn't deal with luck all you have
you have human effort it doesn't
work the power that is that working
within you now is the power of the Holy
Spirit he's the one that makes you a
Christ follower what you and I are to do
is to yield ourselves which led us to
the third consideration that's a a an
entire new experience uh ordered by
Design and that is the work that God is
doing in our lives in fact um I want you
to remember this Colossians 2:13 this is
so beautiful Colossians 2:13 says and
you so you can put your name in there
being dead in your trespasses and uh and
the uncircumcision of your flesh that's
your BC days before Christ days remember
we we lived in the uncircumcision of our
flesh you say what is that mean the word
simply means that God before you and I
came to Christ Our Hearts Are our
feelings our emotions our thoughts our
actions the deep-seated part of who you
and I are we were callous and cold
because because of injury because of sin
because of Life uh and by the way the
longer we live life the more callous our
hearts become to God uh in resistance to
God uh that term uncircumcised means
that there was so much dead flesh around
our hearts that we couldn't feel
anything and you got to remember church
this world with the Jesus doesn't feel
anything they so don't feel anything now
that they've come to the point where
they'll just video somebody being
murdered or Beat to Death on the streets
or pushed into the subway they they just
they see something coming and they oh
that guy might get pushed in the subway
and they start recording it instead of
helping how does that happen calloused
Hearts the the heart needs to be
circumcised what does that mean that
means the dead skin needs to be removed
so that it can feel again
but watch what God did about that he
says that he has made us alive together
with him having forgiven you all
trespasses that ought to soften up your
heart verse 14 having uh which was
contrary to us and has uh and he has to
the cross I don't that verse I don't
think that was copied correctly it means
this that he nailed our sins to our to
the Cross having been our forgiveness
Jesus took all that uh to his cross
absolutely awesome having nailed it to
the Cross so church here we go we dive
into this it's our third study in this
now we go to verses four and five and
that the Christian's Declaration of
dependence there for now is this perfect
union now I want you to write this down
and I'm I'm going to ask for your
prayers and your for uh for your
forgiveness in advance I so love this
argument verses four and five I don't
know how far we're going to get today
will it be one word will it be two words
of it I we
see but Mark this down if you would a
perfect union the true child of God if
you feel it or
not has a perfect union with God through
Christ This is a tremendously serious
statement we cannot pretend we cannot go
through the motions I'm listen I'm not
speaking to you who already know this
I'm just going through the motions I'm
do I'm here because my wife wants me I'm
not talking to you I'm talking to the
person who's here today that you may not
even be aware of
this but you need to hear
it do you know that you have perfect
union with God through Jesus Christ you
should be absolutely secure in
understanding that I am a true child of
God not because I'm here on a Sunday
morning
because it is an overwhelming Testament
of a reality that I have been born again
and that God the Holy Spirit dwells in
me I am in perfect union with God it
doesn't mean you're perfect he's the one
that's perfect but because he's perfect
you've come to him in faith you believe
he died on the cross for you he you
believe he rose again from the
dead you believe that the Bible says we
are New Creations in Christ
that is either True by the way you live
or it is not but what listen it's true
no matter what but is it true in your
life if this is happening in
you there is an entering into a
rest that is it seems too good to be
true it's a it's an experience and I'm
talking about feelings it's a it's a
it's a reality it's it's an
understanding I cannot better myself in
front of God I can't improve myself in
front of God he's announced to me come
with all of my sins to Christ and I am
now placed inside the righteousness of
Jesus it's look this is a plastic water
bottle it's worthless unless you put
water in it now I want to buy it I not
only want to buy it I want to drink
it why because it's
plastic no because of the water that's
in it my skin my outward life might seem
as to be
plastic but
inside God says listen I placed you
inside my
son and when I look at you I see my
son and this is so critical perfect
union the believer has with Jesus Christ
the Bible here tells us for the law of
the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has
made me
free from the law of sin and death
free absolutely
free that Union is all wrapped up in
that qualifying statement I want you to
are you guys okay the qualifying
statement is in the statement of in
Christ
remarkable so that verse four and in the
announcement for the righteous
requirement of the law wow that's huge
might be fulfilled in us that's a huge
statement how does this happen who do
not walk according to the flesh but
according to the spirit now do you
remember a couple of weeks ago I
mentioned verse one at the latter end
doesn't have that in the original Greek
language but it's in verse four here it
is in verse four it appears in the
original Bible the original Greek
language but the King James translators
took what's stated right here in verse
four and they added it to verse one to
make sure you got the point it's no
damage it's just that they didn't need
to stress it but they did and again in
the original Bible it reads exactly like
this as you look at it right here right
now the righteous requirement of the law
might be fulfilled in us how does that
work what to who is this who do not walk
according to the Flesh in other words
Listen My Flesh your flesh yells at you
to do things but I don't you and I don't
walk according to the flesh doesn't mean
the flesh doesn't challenge us us it
challenges us be honest everybody say
amen amen your flesh challenges you and
if you say today not mine Pastor I've
arrived you're more messed up than any
of
us we
battle but thank God there's a battle
and the great thing is this that we
don't walk according to the flesh but we
walk according to the spirit when the
spirit's speaking when the spirit is
leading a spirit-led
life a perfect union so number one jot
it down it's this perfectly United with
the will of God you and I are see Pastor
are you sure you should be saying that
you and I have been as a child of God
now born again we are now in perfect
union with the will of
God you see can I be that bold about it
yes because watch this even when you and
I mess up it's the perfect union of the
will of God that you and I repent and
get back and walking with
him
constantly I've told you this before I'm
kind of wearing it out everybody's
talking about Revival when you you don't
have to wait for Revival to sweep across
the land do you want Revival in your
life get close to Jesus and here's the
greatest manifestation of Revival are
you listening it's not it's not
Goosebumps it's not hand raised it's not
dressing like
Jesus you want to have a Revival in your
life understand that walking with him
when you sin not if when you sin the
ramifications of your sin event last
seconds because When the Thought comes
listen temp before you could ever sin
you have to be tempted first
temptation's not a sin temptation is how
sin gets in are you with me the key is
to stop the sin on the
porch so this
morning this morning Amazon showed up
little somewhere around 3: 3:00 a.m. say
how do you know I saw
him I was sitting in my chair preparing
the final editing of this message did he
know I could see him no but I could but
I could did he know that no but I I saw
him get out of his car and you know good
thing those guys wear vests because I'm
thinking this guy pulls up at that time
of the morning in a car it's a car it
doesn't say Amazon and I'm
thinking but he had a vest
on that doesn't mean he's not a robber
cuz robbers could steal vest and Rob
your home I'm just saying he had a
package and he dropped it out at the
gate I could see him do that so all was
well the the point was I completely
forgot what my whole point was
about what was
it I
I
what wait wait quiet everyone's talking
I can't hear tempation and sin temp
thank
you sin lands on the porch like the
Amazon
package it wasn't in my life until I
brought it into the house with
me when you bring it in if not if when
there's going to be a time when you let
it
in throw it back outside as soon as you
can instantly that's how you'll
experience a constant Revival if a
Revival breaks out ofr thetion or not
you get to have one by obeying him by
walking with him every day listen
everybody else may be dead you don't
have to be
dead that's why there's hope listen
seriously when we start to see people
and it's happening I don't mean to
offend anybody but I've been told by
hundreds and hundreds of people who go
to Catholic mass because they're
Catholics but they come here to study
the Bible and then they go back to their
mass and tell their friends we're
studying the Bible down the street yall
to come and then this place gets filled
up with Catholics that are searching for
the Bible what happens they go back and
they tell other Catholics we're studying
the Bible verse by verse sometimes a
crazy guy he only gets through like two
words and you should you should come and
then they come what happens they're
feeding on the Bible they're finding out
what God has said to them and they wind
up becoming what Jesus said you must do
to enter the kingdom of heaven and
that's be born again to be born from
above and in that there's the desire for
the word of God and this is an awesome
thing because the word of God is simply
the expressed will of God I want to know
God's will for my life really you do for
reals read the Bible you'll find out
what God's will is for your life and he
purchased this opportunity for us by his
great sacrifice 2 Corinthians 5 you know
this well but we need reminding 2
Corinthians
5:18 now all things are of God who has
reconciled us to
himself through Jesus Christ do you see
him asking for your help in
there no it's between the father and the
son and he has given us the ministry of
reconciliation do you know what that
means it means that you as a Believer
you have Supernatural power to reach out
to others and get them to hug and kiss
and make up and that starts in your own
life by the way don't tell me you're a
follower of Jesus and you're mean at
home that doesn't work no the opposite
the holy spirit in you will demand
reconciliation why because that's what
he did to us we were alienated from God
we were in the dogghouse when he found
us and he reconciled us to to the father
so now he turns right around because the
same spirit that raised Jesus from the
dead is the spirit that lives in you and
that's why you and I it's hard for you
and I to hate people I didn't say it's
impossible it's hard when you and I
don't like somebody the the Lord says
what's the problem I don't like them God
look at them I just wait God I'll show
you all their flaws just wait a
minute that doesn't last long because he
says do you want me to start on you now
Jack no well then stop
it and if I listen God forbid but if I
said to anybody do you know what's wrong
with that guy gossip gossip gossip
character
assassination now listen when God says
why'd you do that that person even if
they are in sin you just inherited their
sin by doing that and you've sinned by
pointing out their sin to someone else
how dare you do that now go to that
person immediately beg their
forgiveness and then go to that guy and
confess to them I have maligned you
publicly I have heard I said this about
you and I was wrong do you know what
that'd be a manifestation of Revival
right there the holy spirit's not going
to send Revival while we have these
Petty things going
on verse 19 God was in Christ
reconciling the world to himself not
imputing their trespasses to them and
has committed to us the word of
reconciliation verse 21 how does he do
that for he or see the word for could be
because on the account of he made him
Jesus who knew no sin to be sin for us
it doesn't mean Jesus became a sinner it
means Jesus Took upon him our
sins do you have that a donkey is
carrying a load of concrete down the
Grand Canyon the Donkey is not concrete
the donkey's carrying
concrete jesus carried our sins at the
cross Jesus didn't become a
sinner are you with me there's some
Cults that teach otherwise he was
perfect from start to finish it which is
how he was qualified to carry our
sins amazing he made him who knew no sin
to be sin for us that we might become
the righteousness of God in him and all
God's people said that's awesome that is
an awesome promise all right hang on to
your shorts uh we're going to do this
this is a this is a biggie we'll go as
far as we can so Lord help us please in
Jesus name if you were here today if
you're watching right now if you're
listening by whatever means you're
viewing this
broadcast you might be asking that's
quite a
statement that I'm a New Creation in
Christ that I can be reconciled to
God that Christ who knew no sin became
sin for me that he would pay my pay my
sin debt is that what you're saying
that's exactly what I'm saying and isn't
that in 2 Corinthians yep New Testament
yep well I don't believe
it no let's let's play hard ball for a
second let's say we could
say you know what we we don't believe it
either on face value we don't believe it
either well yeah you're right because
how do we know this is true good
question how do we know that's true it's
just Paul the Apostle speaking to the
Corinthian Greeks telling him this why
should I believe this maybe you're here
right now and you're saying pastor
you're right on I'm an atheist and I
don't believe any of this stuff you're
uh you're talking my language
there which is why God gave us the Old
Testament so what yeah how about if I
read something to you that was written
500 and or excuse me 740 years before
Jesus was born let's check that out so
Paul is boasting in the Lord that the
Lord has forgiven us our sins by going
to the
cross on what basis did that Jewish
Hebrew now Christian make that statement
Isaiah 53 watch
this whenever you read in the New
Testament that the disciples or the
apostles taught from the word of God
including Jesus himself you ever think
about you think he was carrying around
the King James
Bible and and the Bible says and Jesus
spoke to them and taught
them taught them what from the from the
scriptures what
scriptures Old
Testament if you can't find the gospel
in the Old Testament how can you find
the gospel anywhere you say that's quite
a rude statement I just read in the New
Testament sure you're going to read it
but how do you know it's
true could be just somebody talking how
many have you and I heard that oh it's
just some it's just somebody's writing
you know you almost have to agree with
them unless you put it to the acid test
how can we prove it oh we can prove it
in fact I am so convinced of this
somebody might say you can't prove the
existence of God I believe you can it's
called Bible
prophecy so 740 plus years before Jesus
was born God prophesied and announced
regarding the Messiah here it comes
verse one who has believed our report in
other words shock
alert and to whom is the arm of the Lord
been revealed what you're about to
hear is forever
truth to be revealed and who can take it
who can receive it in who will accept
this for he shall grow up before him as
a tender plant think about Jesus's
Incarnation coming into this world as a
root out of the the dry ground he has no
form or comeliness it
means there was no physical attributes
that made Jesus stand out isn't that
interesting does that I think that's so
interesting I'm really happy about
that and when we see him there's no
beauty that we should desire him there's
no physical attraction that Jesus
had you can't say that about David David
was a
knockout you can't say that about Sheba
she was something what about Esther
Esther Bible says Esther was a
wow it said listen and and um Sarah the
Bible says Abraham's wife Sarah it says
that she was beautiful to look at both
in in uh in spirit and in form that
means Sarah was
formed and then absolum that guy what a
freak he was so handsome that it ruined
his
life you know goodl look being good-look
could I me being good-look can be a
curse some people say Lord will you
smite me with that curse no you don't
you don't want that you don't want that
Jesus was very commonl looking I
appreciate
that there was no beauty that we should
desire him he is despised and rejected
by Men A Man of Sorrows and acquainted
with grief now listen friends I've told
you before I read this to my Jewish
friends who they promised me tell me
what you think you believe without
reading the the new Testament because we
don't read it all right so this is one
of the great chapters so keep that in
your mind he was despised and we hid and
we did uh not esteem him surely he has
borne our griefs and carried our sorrows
yet we esteemed him stricken and smitten
by God and Afflicted do you remember
when the Pharisees when Jesus was
crucified they said when Jesus cried out
Eli Eli lakai they said wait wait wait
don't help him let's listen see if God
let's see if God will rescue him there
was a smack they were saying he finally
gets what's coming to him for committing
blasphemy he claimed to be the Son of
God watch what doesn't
happen they felt justi as was being done
that day on the
cross he
was rejected verse 5 he was wounded for
our transgressions the Bible tells us
this is what's going on
he was bruised for our
iniquities and the chastisement of our
peace was upon him the and by his
stripes by his lashings the whip we are
healed I want you to stop at verse five
for a second think about this I'm
reading from the
Bible and this must test your spirit if
you're not a follower of Christ who in
this universe throughout all of human
history has had a book written about
them and advance and explains in their
life in great detail even their very
name and how they were going to be born
the Miracles that they were produced but
that the person that we're talking about
would suffer the death of an atoning
death for those who hated him you going
to find that in the Quran
nowhere Tibetan Book of the Dead the the
even the Book of Mormon Jehovah
Witnesses
every single other writing of a
religious leader adds Works to this
which is an
Abomination the simplest purest thing
you can do is the greatest insult to our
pride and that is Believe on me Jesus
said believe on me that belief will
convert your life but if you say I
believe in him but I'm going to be
really good too and I'm going to get
some points for it that's sick
and you need to repent of that all we
like sheep have gone astray the Bible
says and we turned everyone to his own
way and the lord has laid on him the
iniquity of us all he was oppressed and
he was afflicted yet he opened not his
mouth excuse me hello 740 years before
Jesus was born then we later find out
reading the gospels that Jesus when he
was beaten and uh crucified he never
opens it his mouth to defend
himself
wow he was led as a lamb to the
slaughter and as a sheep before it
shears a silence so he opened not his
mouth he was taken from prison was Jesus
not
arrested and from
judgment he was judged on at least three
different levels at least
that night of his
arrest and who will declare his
generation who wants
him for he was cut off from the land of
the living you see Jack that's why I
don't believe in your
Messiah things started out pretty good
but he got himself killed he didn't get
himself
killed but if you don't believe that he
laid down his life willingly for you
then you view him as being cut off from
the land of the
living for the transgressions of my
people that's Israel he was stricken and
they made his grave with the wicked but
with the rich at his death wasn't he
crucified between two Wicked people but
wasn't he buried in the richest man in
Israel's tomb Joseph of
arthea
wow because he had done no violence nor
was there any deceit found in his mouth
mouth verse 10 yet it pleased the Lord
to bruise him
he has put him to grief when you make
his soul an offering for sin family
people Church strangers listen the Bible
says there's one coming who will not be
understood by mankind who will be
rejected who will die in a place where
he didn't have to die that you and I
were condemned to die and all of this it
says that it will please the father when
he sees what's going on regarding
whoever this person
is absolutely
remarkable and it says that when you
make his soul an offering for sin that's
atonement he shall see his seed and
shall prolong his days and the pleasure
of the Lord shall prosper in his hand
that's an interesting statement you guys
you have in verse 10 because it means
whoever's going to die as the Messiah is
going to live again and live forever and
prosper him when he's raised from the
dead you know how God you know how
Christ is prospering every soul that
makes a decision to follow him as it
were I can't prove this but as it were
puts your black piece of coal charcoal
of a life and places it like a diamond
jewel in the crown of Christ salvation
you think of that for a moment the
greatest reward listen the Bible says
for the joy that was set before him he
endured the cross despising its shame no
pun intended and I don't mean to be
disrespectful but Christ hung in there
on the cross because he loved you he
couldn't get off the cross let's leave
him alone and let's see if God will
rescue him and they said to him if you
are the Christ come down and save
yourself he couldn't come down love kept
him on the cross not the
nails the nails had nothing to do with
that part of it
all isn't that awesome this no wonder
why there's no condemnation to those who
are in Christ he took all the
condemnation there could ever
be are you in join him do you do you
Embrace this gospel in
Isaiah verse 11 he shall see the labor
of his soul and be
satisfied Jesus said on the cross to
Telly and he dismissed his Spirit when
he said tosty the word is it's finished
atonement is finished I paid the price
and the Bible says he dismissed his
Spirit I'm done and basically he
commences his own physical death Spirit
leave and his body
died this is in
Isaiah by his knowledge my righteous
servant shall justify many for he shall
bear their iniquities is that a
tremendous awesome Truth Listen you guys
okay we have a few more
minutes Psalm
22 Psalm 22:6
this Psalm by the way is known as a
Messianic Psalm and many scholars
believe that when Jesus said my God my
God why hast Thou forsaken me that what
that's what's recorded in the gospels
but many believe that Jesus recited from
can't prove it but from the cross the
entire 22nd
Psalm it does make sense when you read
it in its entirety I'm only going to
read a part of it
in verse 6 it says this but I am a worm
can you Circle the worm in your Bible
that word worm and no man this is David
prophesying about the Messiah I am a
worm and no man a reproach of men and
despised by the people all those who see
me ridicule me watch this they shoot out
the lip and they shake the head does
anybody remember Matthew Mark Luke and
John when Jesus was crucified they the
scribes and Pharisees hissed at him
stuck out their tongue and waged their
head that is a very dramatic um version
in the Middle East of other gestures
that we use in the
west same verse eight he trusted in the
Lord let him rescue him let him deliver
him since he Delights in him but you are
he who took me out of the womb you made
me trust while on my mother's
breast verse 10 I was cast upon you from
birth he's talking about his Incarnation
he came into this world just like you
and I
did from my mother's womb you have been
my God verse 11 be not far from me for
trouble is near for there is none to
help verse 15 my strength is dried up
like a potard my tongue clings to my
jaws you have brought me to the dust of
Death Watch for dogs have surrounded me
it's a reference to Gentiles
dogs was Jesus surrounded by Gentiles at
his crucifixion were they not Roman
centurions and
guards you have brought me um uh the the
congregation of the wicked has enclosed
me they pierced my hands and my feet
this is WR are you guys
this is written 1,000 years before Jesus
was born what do you say to that are you
not a Crazy In Love With Jesus person
why not when the Bible says a thousand
years before he was
born in conjunction with Isaiah he's
going to take your sins he's going to be
rejected by people misunderstood and
it's going to bless the father that he
paid that price because he knows that
it's only for a limited time because the
inheritance of the one who's paying the
price will be his bless blessing forever
and that this that in the midst of the
darkness in his Darkest Hour when he's
pierced in his hands and his
feet I will lay upon Him
separation between God and man
represented in Christ that you will
never have to go
through you've NE listen you've never
died you don't know what it's like on
the other side but for the Christian
it's Crystal Clear the Bible says when
you and I die immediately we wake up
listen have you ever falling as sleep
and then woken up you ever taken a
nap imagine falling asleep and you wake
up and all of a sudden you're falling in
in a pitless dark
hole and you're thinking this is a dream
this is a dream I got to wake up I got
to wake
up and all of these other recorded
manifestations that are written in the
Bible of Hell begin to be your
experience and it never ends the Bible
says but imagine falling asleep maybe on
a deathbed maybe you go to maybe listen
Maybe you go to sleep tonight you're
completely healthy and you die in your
sleep how about this dream wow this is
awesome this is glorious am I dreaming
and the Lord says Hey to remember what
the Bible said I know you heard it at
Calvary to be absent from the body it
says to be present with the Lord welcome
come on in enter into the joy of the
Lord it's great to see you can you
imagine woo it's going to be one or the
other for you there's no middle
place there's no gray there's no fog
Zone Gray
Zone so real quick back to that word
this might be as far as we get today
back to that word uh go go back to Psalm
226 see I I am a worm and no
man um you guys you might want to write
this down it's r i m m a a H that's the
word for worm in
Hebrew r i m m a
h thank God for us Hebrew Greek and
Aramaic are the three most colorful
languages on the face of the
Earth
um you have to look you just can't
assume well a worm and if I say a worm
to you you think of a garden your garden
worm
but God didn't write the Bible in
English and that's very very fantastic
he wrote it in this part in
Hebrew and the word that is most often
used is r i m m ah for a grub or a worm
an insect type
thing but the word that is used right
here is T WLA a write that down please
because you're not going to believe a
word I'm going to going to say so write
it down you're going to go research this
yourself are you ready t o w l a
TOA that's the word that appears here it
only appears three times in the entire
Bible two times
referring to
Christ so number
one in fact guys why don't you put these
two slides up on the screen just
yeah that should kind of make you cringe
right it actually that's a young one it
will it will continue to mature when it
matures it becomes not only totally red
but it becomes a very dark but we would
say Ox blood color or very very
red uh
unattractive uh grub we would say grub
they live subterran they live in the
ground right now they come out in the
springtime uh predominantly to Midsummer
they have a very short lifespan
and um just to show you next slide you
can research this later this is Oxford
Academy bioscience you can look it up
that's one place where you can look at
the look The Scarlet dye of the Holy
Land see the word Dy D
ye all
right so why is this
important for this
reason when Psalm 22 is attributed to
Christ as Messiah
and in Psalm 22 Jesus says ELO elak my
God my God why hast Thou forsaken me
that's found in Psalm
22 you ask the question who is calling
out I'm a worm and no
man you could say somebody with a
psychosis somebody who's lost their mind
that would be fine except the context of
the Bible goes on to describe whoever
this person is are you hearing me this
is not some ranting lunatic on the
street this is the Messiah of the
scriptures declaring himself to be a
toah so what's with the toah the tah
comes out of the
Earth at its mature State and it will go
up a post it will go up a fence or a
tree now in
Lebanon parts of Syria predominantly
Israel it prefers a particular type of
oak
tree it will go up it will inch its way
up the oak tree by the way it will
figure out without eyeballs which
direction does the sun rise and hit the
tree it goes up the tree it fastens
itself to the tree and while it fastens
itself it goes through a form of
metamorphis in that almost like um Iron
Man you know Iron Man Tony
Stark you know how this the armor suit
goes on I want you to think about that
that that thing fastens itself to the
tree latches on and then this armored
coating comes over
it and uh by the way that armor coating
is pretty much Invincible I mean you got
to pry it off with a knife if you're
going to get it off and there is a
reason to get it off by the way um the
Bible tells us and you can write it down
no time to reference it on the screen
what you can put on the screens or not
but I'm still going to keep talking you
guys for your future study on this it's
Exodus 26
verse1 Exodus 28: 5 and
6 and Isaiah 1 ver8 I'll read these and
rather than short Change of scripture
this is this is where we'll end so I'm
going to mark this down for all the poor
souls at second and third service
today so Jack stop
here so this thing is there suspended
now and it's it's stuck on this tree and
the only way that you're going to get it
off is if you cut it
out and the only reason why you would do
that is because you would take it and
you would collect a bunch of them
because in that condition if you smash
them up and crush them they became they
become an incredibly powerful and Vivid
Crimson
dye why is it in the Bible because it is
the crimson red that was used for the
tapestries of the Tabernacle in the
wilderness and for the high priest
robe but it gets better
as it goes into its metamorphous on the
tree as the sun begins to rise the sun
begins to hit it and there's some sort
of somewhat unknown to this day some say
boiling but there's no temperature uh
issue in it that the when the Sun hits
the
TOA uh during that process of it being
encased protected so watch this allow me
will you guys allow me this privilege to
kind of go um
uh what's the word theoretical or
allegorical on this
one that while it is shielded it's going
through a
metamorphous Jesus was on the cross on a
tree and he ain't going anywhere why
because his love will not allow him to
leave his love for you and oh by the way
if you think you're a wretch join the
club because if you're a big wretch
it seems as though though God has no
favorites he makes that very clear it
does seem I'm reading into the word now
could get in
trouble but he seems it seems like he
loves people a little bit more
affectionately who cannot love
themselves because of their wretchedness
in other words have you been a very very
bad person have you been what drug
addict a a Thief a murderer have you
been a prostitute or less what have you
done in life
he says I die for
you it almost shines not that he needs
it it almost Buffs his crown the
brighter when you bring your
wretchedness to
him it's almost like he says that's it
you guys think you were
bad that's bad and my blood was more
powerful in that person's
bad you can't write yourself off friend
you don't have that
Authority whatever you've done that you
think is so bad you just need to knock
it off grow up and know something
Jesus's blood is greater than your
bad
so ins sconed in this Shield the
metamorphis takes place what happens
larae
form this only happens in the female
TOA now she's about ready to to lay her
eggs her eggs then are hatched inside of
her with the shield coating nothing's
going to interrupt
this except somebody prying it off to
make die for the high
Priestly gown for Jerusalem in the
temple
and for three days they feed on her and
they consume
her for three days not four three
days on the morning of the fourth
day she
explodes when she explodes that when
that crust breaks open by the way can't
I can't prove this part some have
speculated that it seems to always
happen while the sun is hitting the
TOA it explodes and leaves leaves a red
mark on the tree about the size of a
small pancake or like a whatever this a
softball when it breaks open when it
explodes its young goes out into the
earth falls down into the ground process
begins all over again check this out are
we not sent out into all the Earth with
the gospel watch this
wait the TOA is crimson red but her
Offspring inside of her are Snow White
wow but when she
dies she washes them internally
completely crimson
red when they blow out into the world
it's only after they are
resembling the parent the mother
red think of this for a moment you could
go off on this God knew those who would
be his before the foundation of the
world before you were ever seen as a
Believer or known to even become a
Believer nobody knew everybody wrote you
off and said man if there's a hell he's
going but God knew in his infinite forn
knowledge that there would be a day when
you would accept him as Lord and savior
in the mind of God you were white as
snow what would make you so what would
make that reality
happen well God would say it's you in
Christ
and if AA could talk it would say my
young are secured by my salvation that
I've shielded with a
coding and when they're
saved when they look just like
me I send them out into the
world are we
beautiful listen according to God we are
but in this world we're constantly
trying to seek
Beauty I need to get this look and have
you know that eyes or that hair or that
height or that build or that we're all
in in our flesh we're always
seeking and yet God sees you in
Christ and then look we'll end with this
I'll just read it to you Exodus 26:1
moreover you shall make the Tabernacle
with the 10 curtains of fine woven linen
and blue purple and Scarlet thread
TOA Exodus 285 5 and six they shall take
the
gold and the blue the purple and the
Scarlet
TOA and the fine linen and they shall
make the ephod of gold blue purple and
Scarlet thread and fine woven linen
artistically uh worked that's on the
chest of the high priest Isaiah 1:8 come
now God is speaking let us reason
together says the Lord though your sins
are like Scarlet
they shall be as white as snow though
they are red like Crimson they shall be
as wool Church let's stand I want to end
with this picture this is absolutely
amazing you go as you go research this
you're going to find out something
amazing
that there is a waxy
buildup that is left behind by the
tah that is extracted out of where it
was where it died on the tree leaving
that red mark it's extracted out and
it's used it's the actual Forerunner of
what is known as
lacquer and throughout the ancient times
and even in some places of the world
today where Modern chemicals are not
available the TOA is still used to
preserve
wood so that's your homework today is to
try to figure out how in the world could
God not love
you when he said that he would and that
he
does that you may be one of how many
billions of people are on earth now who
knows eight legally we don't know who
knows nobody knows God
knows and you're not a
number you have your social security
number and that's how the world Iden
what's your number number what's your
number God God doesn't have a number for
you he says I know your
name and he says I want you to come to
me and if he sends us pictures like this
ugly
grub not to
[Music]
mention the good things he
does he loves you my friend what there's
nothing else to say he just loves you
stop resisting him I I'm not worthy stop
that we're not none of us are and and
who determines what is
worthy come
on stop short changing him he paid it
[Music]
all I can say this right now CU they're
not here there's some friends of ours
who they just really they're incredibly
sweet and uh we love being with them but
we just like to sit and talk with them
the most let's just talk you know you
know there's I hope you have somebody in
your life like that where you don't need
to do anything and by the way you don't
need to get together often when you do
you pick it right back up you know what
I'm talking
about so let's just talk let's just talk
and I said Lisa let's just go do this
but we want to do that with them but we
don't want to make it a big deal because
they want to make it a big deal they
they let's bring in let's bring in
balloons and dancing clowns and if we're
going to sit down and just talk let's
have airplanes fly over and right in the
sky that's their love
language everyone has a love language
that they both receive and
give and this is I'm saying this that
you might be won over by his love watch
this so while I was saying I just want
to just want simple let's go on let's
just put the chairs in the
sand watch the whales to go by or the
waves crash just
simple it cost
nothing and
then Lisa said something about but
that's so sweet that and then I and then
I said well wait a minute we did go out
that
night on a boat off of the coast on 4th
of July and watch all the fireworks
going off from the shore that was
awesome and there was also that time
when we went to Universal Studios and we
got in the back door because that's the
industry that they're in and that was
pretty
awesome and there was that the other
time you hear what I'm saying we just
want it simple I'm so
simple but then Lisa and I wound up
busting up laughing because as we took
that thought for a second and let it
percolate we wound up concluding just
leave them alone they love us that's how
they express their love it's
amazing and we probably appreciate it
more because we're worthy of so much
less are you with
me that's
us God's crazy about you he can't take
his eyes off
you and you're going to leave today with
or without him he still can't take his
eyes off you it's just that some of you
are going to heaven and some of you
going to hell um I say that in all du
love he doesn't want he doesn't want you
to go there that's why he went to the
Cross so you run to him and um it'll be
well with your
soul he'll save you of your sins he's
the only one who can father we ask you
to bless these people as they're about
to be released into the world right now
may hell tremble when these doors open
up may demons hit the road as these who
are loved by you go out toah into the
world to
share your love for
them in Jesus name and all God's people
worshiped and said let's let's sing this
song in closing God bless you
