Hey buddy. Bless you. Thank you. Thank you guys. Come on. Let's give Jesus a praise. Come on. We love you. We love you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, he really did what he did, right, man, you ought to stop just slow down sometime and really think about that. That God became a man. He must think a lot about the potential of who he can be inside of man. If he died for man, if he had to become a man to die, to restore man back, he must think a lot of that potential my whole life growing up, I was told that Jesus died on the cross cuz I was a sinner and it left me of forgiven sinner. Nobody ever told me that he died on the cross to restore my purpose and potential in destiny that he actually died on the cross because he saw great value in what I could be when he lived inside of me. Of course he had to die because I sinned, but he didn't die. Cuz I was a sinner. He died cuz I was a lost son. See the cross doesn't expose your sin. It removes your sin to expose your potential and your value For my whole life. I was taught a sin conscious gospel that prayed on my depravity to try to get me to say, I'm sorry. The goodness of God leads men to change. You don't, you don't have to come at somebody's depravity. You teach what they're called to be and created to be. And the goodness of God gets into you and brings change to you. Yeah, I'd never seen one scripture in my Bible. Read my Bible and I've read my Bible. I've never seen a scripture that said the reprimand of God is what changes a man's life. People always say it. Ain't all about the love of God. It's about the judgment of God too. I've never seen the judgment of God transform a life. He did not come into the world to condemn the world. That's the same word as judge to, to give the world what it deserves. He did not. He came into the world that the world might be through him might be saved in John 12. He said, I did not come to judge you. I came that you might be saved, but you'll have my word that will judge you in that day. Remember when he comes, there'll be a sword in his mouth, a word of the Lord. He didn't come to judge you. He came to save you. The cross tells you who you're called and created to be never forget that the cross does not expose your sin. It removes your sin to expose and unlock your potential, your value and your purpose. There's no one out there that's ever went to a car lot and saw a used car for ten five and went to the dealer and said, you know what? I'll give you 15. Why it's not worth it. It's worth ten five. And you're gonna try to get him down to eight. Two. Who's ever went on a lot and said, I'll give you 15. If it's marked 10, five, why it's not worth it, but he shed his blood for you and me. And you think for a second, I'm gonna live condemned and feel unworthy. He washed my pasted away. He put a new thing inside of me, a new heart, new spirit. He put his kingdom in me. I didn't find a way to sin and get away with it. I found a way to be free. I found a way to wake up in him and enjoy him and him enjoy me and be excited in life. The joy of my salvation, not the joy of my circumstances, the joy of my salvation. Good tidings of

Speaker 3: 4:10

Great joy.

Speaker 2: 4:12

Good tidings of that means the good tidings bring the great joy. Good tidings of so when you understand the good tidings, great joy is the automatic response. Yeah. So if you don't have great joy, you don't need a spirit of joy and you don't need an auto call where everybody's laughing, praying for you, hoping you get it. It's understand the good news because it's good. TIS of

Speaker 4: 4:42

People

Speaker 2: 4:42

Say, how can you always be? So the way you are, it's good. TIS

Speaker 3: 4:46

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 4:48

It's not gonna change that. Truth's not gonna change tomorrow. When I wake up, this gospel's gonna be the same. When I crack open my Bible, he's gonna love me.

Speaker 4: 4:58

Oh my goodness. And I'm gonna be right in the sight of God. Will I go to bed

Speaker 2: 5:05

Tonight? I have total access to him. That'll never change. Let me get a little strange and weird with you a million years from now. He's not gonna call an loud speaker, Dan Muller to the front and say, you know, I've been thinking for a long time. I think I made a mistake when I let you in here.

Speaker 3: 5:21

<laugh>

Speaker 4: 5:26

I'm in, it's already settled, like already won. So

Speaker 2: 5:33

I might as well just become what he paid for. I might as well enjoy the ride, walk in a manner worthy of him and love him with my life. Since he loved me with his, I oughta just give it back, huh? Yeah. And say, go ahead and take it. This is what you paid for. Not my worship, not my tithe. Yeah. You paid for my life. So go ahead and take it. Amen. Yeah. Yeah, man. I feel good about that. You feel good about that? Yeah. So listen, guilt, condemnation and shame is alive from hell. It's never the gospel godly sorrow over repentance, feeling sorry for where you've been and what you've done and going whoa and letting the holy spirit bring that where you realize whoa, and you run to God, not run from God. When you run from God, that's Adam in the garden. That's naked. That's ashamed. When you run to God, that's clothed and robed in righteousness. You run to God. You talk to God. You tell him, wow, thank you for the conviction of my life. The truth you're working in me. I realize that is so not who you created me to be. Lord God, I don't want that in my life. You didn't create me for that. And I just thank you for loving me. Thank you for washing me. Thank you for forgiving me when you're asking for, for forgiveness. You're wondering if you're for forgiven. When you thank him for forgiving, you, you can move on. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. The blood of Jesus is speaking better things. This thing's not complicated. Like he didn't cur he didn't curse his son on the cross. He made his son to be sin. He cursed sin in the flesh. Sin shall have no dominion over you. You're not under the law. You're under grace. Shall we keep on sin? And so we've received grace since we're not under the law. Absolutely not. He said, how can you, who died to sin? Living in any longer? See the Christian life. Isn't praying a prayer to go to heaven. It's dying to your old life. And it's dying to sin once. And for all. So you can live to God. What that means is dying to its its actions, its memories. It's stain, it's sting. And you wake up every day and you don't believe your sin waiting to happen. That's not humble. That's deception. You're a son in the making. You're a daughter being manifested. You're growing up into him in all things. If you wake up in your sin waiting to happen, you're constantly sin conscious and that's your tree and that's your fruit. And you'll never repent cuz that's what we are. And it's a wonder he loves us. And then the gospel remains a mystery that never transforms your life. One of the biggest mistakes we make, we think our ability to sin makes us sinners. So we say that in a false humility and continue to do the same because it's what we believe we are. I didn't wake up to fail today and that's not arrogance. I woke up to trust him and believe his grace. And I woke up to follow him and be formed in him and be more like him. I didn't wake up to be loved by you. I woke up to love you. So now you can hurt me or let me down, cuz my hope isn't in you. My hope comes from him. My expectations from the Lord. Yeah. So that empowers me to get in a big setting like this in rub elbows and not be in there for the wrong reasons. Not to try to find identity for what God's doing among us or through me, but to find identity through him.

Speaker 3: 8:58

Amen.

Speaker 2: 8:59

Yeah. And then that brings really healthy relationship. Yeah. So all of a sudden I can have something healthy with you. You guys good? Yes. I'm not even sure where we're heading. I guess I'm just feeling it out. I don't even know. But the gospel's amazing. I'm just thinking about God, putting himself in the womb of a woman. It freaks me out to this day that that God would let holy spirit, the son of God, Jesus would say, okay, I'm ready to go put me in her.

Speaker 3: 9:35

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 9:39

It had to happen. Like he was Jesus just a second ago. Son of God, in the heavens probably racing Michael and Gabriel around on the char. I don't know, but he was the Lord. And the next moment he's a little embryo of fetus, whatever he started out to be, he was in her womb and there was a little heart beating and he was a man freaks me out that God would become a man to rescue men. Never change his mind about what he created us to be never let where we weren't decide who he is, but let who he is. Decide where we can be. Come on. It's the goodness of God. It's the gospel. It's good news. It's amazing news. It's not well, you've been wretched and sinners and you need to shape up. It's your so much more. Would you open your eyes and see that God sees a whole lot more about us than we've ever considered. And it's time to stop talking ourself down in a false humility and come a Pither get your mind off the earth and set your mind in heaven where he's sitting, where you are seated with him at the right hand of almighty. God, come on. That's all scripture. That's all scripture. I I've been bought with a price. I'm not my own. I'm not gonna sell cheap. I'm not for sale, man. I got this thing over my head. No vacancy fully and completely occupied. Yeah. Oh man. I'm sorry. But I'm just feel a little passionate right now.<laugh> feel a little aggressive. The God of the universe, nothing was made that wasn't made through him. He was there from the beginning. He's name above every name. He's the Lord. He put himself in woman to become a man. Well, yeah, but brother, he was a hundred percent. God stop. He came as a man. You're not doing, when you say that. He said he's the of, he wants as a man. Does God ever slumber? No. Where was Jesus in the boat?

Speaker 3: 11:58

I wasn't

Speaker 2: 12:00

Sleeping. He was what he was sleeping, but God doesn't slumber. Oh. So he came as a man. Can you tempt God? How come Jesus was tempted? That'll point you without sin. Cause if he didn't come as a man and couldn't be tempted, it wouldn't be a real test. How God, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth. A man is God already anointed. Then why God have to anoint Jesus. If he came, as God came as a man and he laid down his glory and he made himself of no reputation, guess what? We've sought our whole lives. Guess what a big, dangerous trap is. Even in the church is people trying to seek reputation and get to be noticed. Sometimes it's dangerous to have a microphone cuz you need one and you wanna manifest. Be very careful. Have this same mind in you. Philippians do have the same mind in you. That was in him who, even though he was considered equal with God, didn't consider it something to be acknowledged for. But instead laid down his glory and made himself of no reputation and became a bond servant to men, even a servant to the point of death. Therefore God has exalted him. You humble your self under the mighty hand of God. And in due time he will lift up that humility cuz he can flow through humility. Yeah man, the gospel's exciting to me. You know, what's freaking me out. He came as a man in the womb of a woman's hung out in her birth in her womb and came through her birth canal. Guys. The king of the universe was sitting in there for nine months, crockpot in a woman.<laugh> it freaks out. It freaks me out. He did not pop into the wilderness at buffed and ready to roll

Speaker 3: 14:36

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 14:38

He didn't take a shortcut. He came as we came, woman came from man and every man since then came from woman. So he had to come through Mary. He had to come as a man. When he raised from the dead, he said, don't you be afraid. You touch me for a spirit. Doesn't have flesh and bone, his eye. What's he's saying after he is raised from the dead,

Speaker 3: 15:02

He's

Speaker 2: 15:03

Still a man. You better understand that. And why? Cause he's at the right hand of God and his blood's on the mercy seat and he's sitting on his blood on the mercy seat at the right hand representing man as a man. Is he Lord? Yes. Is he God? Yes. Is he name above every name? Yes, but he's a man. He has a body and the blood of a man is in the holy place. Crying out on behalf of men. Mercy speaking better things. You better understand this stuff. It's powerful. It's innocent. Holy blood speaking out on behalf of guilty lives that would humble themselves and say, oops, what was I thinking? I've been living for me. And I've been created for his image and his glory. Oops. What was I thinking his name now I'm making change. I'm repenting. I'm turning around. Come on. This thing is simple. It's not just beneficial. You're not just getting blessings. He's not just setting you up for the future. Making sure IRA works and your 401k is good. It's not why you're on the planet. You're on the planet to shine. You're on the planet to shine. And if we're his go-to people to be the light of the world And this battery's dead or this light don't work well then there's darkness.

Speaker 3: 16:34

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 16:35

So a rise, shine church. Your light has

Speaker 3: 16:39

Come

Speaker 2: 16:40

And the glory of the Lord has risen and it's upon you. Oh, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness to people. But the light it's on you.

Speaker 3: 16:52

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 16:53

So lets your light so shine before men. It doesn't say so. Get discouraged. Get disheartened call for prayer and need ministry says let your light. So shine. Get a perspective that guards your heart and keeps your heart cuz outta your heart flows. The issues of life. Get a healthy reason for being and wake up every day. In that reason, put stickers and notes all over your house and on your mirror. If you have to, but write out why you're alive and why you woke up. So you never allow the flesh to have a voice. Cause if you live by the spirit, you will not. You will not. You will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. What's religion do with a scripture like that. If you live by the spirit, Roman's eight it's there. You will not fulfill the Lu. Well nobody's perfect brother. Maybe you aren't even humble enough to hear scripture, to even think about what he's trying to say. Maybe we're too fixed on just talking ourself down, thinking it's humility. When in fact it's deception. If you live in the spirit, you won't fulfill the less of flesh. He's not talking about never making a mistake. He's not talking about just all of a sudden reacting in something he's talking about. The less desires and the things that pull men from truth. Yeah, Yeah,

Speaker 5: 18:36

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 18:37

And then those people that do that, get grayed out, get condemned, question themselves, question their own heart, a veil slips over their face. And now they don't have intimacy with God. So they can't get pregnant and reproduce a thing cuz they can't be with him because they don't feel close to him and they don't feel worthy of him. And, and yet here's the blood speaking better things calling you in wants to wash you clean. Are you with me? Yes. Guilt, condemnation and shame. Three major tools of the devil. Do you have to be sorry for your sins? Is there a place of repentance for the gospel? You better believe it. There's some strange movements out there right now. Be very careful. There's some that say repentances works and you don't have to. It's already finished and nobody needs to even get saved cuz the blood's speaking and everybody's already saved and don't know it. Stay away from the weird stuff. There's a lot of weird stuff out there. There's stuff out there that says, Hey, we're always gonna do what we're gonna do. God knew that when he sent his son and he knows it now that's why he shed his blood to just cover us while we're out there living our way. His grace is sufficient graces his working power to transform. Yes. When you preach grace apart from trans you're preaching perversion.

Speaker 5: 19:57

Yes.

Speaker 2: 20:00

Grace doesn't allow you to live in the flesh. Grace changes you. You say, oh my goodness. I really blew up on my wife today. Thank God for the grace of God. The grace of God empowers you to not blow up on her. Come on. The grace of God is God's power. It's his power on your behalf. It's his working ability to help make you what you could never be on your own. You're saved by grace, by his working power, through your faith. You believe your life's worthy that you have potential in destiny. And even though you've sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, he hasn't lost sight of your purpose and why you're here. And he loves you. And you're saved by grace. Faith. You don't release faith in your life. You won't walk in grace. If you don't believe the gospel, your life feels dry. You feel very empty. If you don't believe that your life is worth the blood, there's not a grace pouring over. Are you with me? Grace and faith. Go hand in hand. You're saved by grace through faith. No faith, no grace. It's impossible to please God without faith. Why? Cuz without faith, he can't release the grace to make you what he paid for. So he can't be fulfilled as a father watching you grow into fruition. Are you good? Yeah. You guys are just kinda looking this thing's for everybody. It's amazing. Guilt, condemnation, shame. I gotta go back to it for some reason. It's it needs hit hard here tonight. Guilt, condemnation and shame. There's people that talk themselves into one of the three or all of the three and, and they say, yeah, but brother, I should have known better. Okay. I get that. So at what point do you say wow, should a known better run to God. Be bold about that and humble about that and receive his love and mercy become wiser and sharper. And now you know better. Why do you have to lose something in knowing better should have known better? So now I have to lose something. I have to lose three days of relationship. I have to lose a month of identity. You never step out of him. Come on. It's what Adam and Eve did in the garden. They took off and ran. They hid, they heard the sound of the Lord coming and ran from father God, because that's what sin consciousness does to people. They run and hide from truth. They start living quiet. They shut down. God it's just, sin has a terrible effect. When you live sin conscious you're the, the, the cross takes it away. Like it's unscripted for a Christian to be fighting with sin, trying not to sin, trying to do better. You're supposed to wake up and believe. Believe that he is believe he loves you. Believe he forgave. You believe he lives inside of you. You start out your day in righteousness. Roman six says that place produces its fruit to holiness. All of a sudden you're living holy without trying to be holy cuz you believe what he did is true. And it fixes your heart on him and empowers your ways. And all of a sudden the trees made good and the fruit follows. See he's not telling you to do better and try harder and clean up your act. He says a good tree. Can't bear bad. So we hear fruit and become tree assessors and go, oh my goodness, I can't be a good tree cuz there's a bad branch and fruit right here. Or there's a thing you've been ignoring or denying. And you hear the words say a good tree cannot bear bad fruit and you hear fruit and go, oh my goodness, I can't be a good tree. And then he says a bad tree. Can't bear. And now you're confused because you go wait a minute. There is some valid changes in my life and not everything's a throw away. I'm troubled a good tree. Can't bear bad fruit. But I see something on my limb that needs clipped and a bad can't bear good fruit. But there's some things in my life that are good and should remain. All of a sudden you realize he's not talking about fruit. He's talking about your identity, the tree, knowing who you are. He's not talking about your actions. He's talking about your identity. He's saying when you realize you've been made a good tree, you can't bear bad fruit. But if you keep thinking you are a bad tree, you can't bear good fruit because all your efforts to bear in good fruit becomes striving to prove something that's already settled through his blood. Are you guys good? Cuz this is a good gospel. It's what's wrong with me for 23 years, I've been this way. I just met somebody at a church. I was at that. Hasn't seen me for years. They knew me four years in and there he laughed and they said, I think you're worse than ever.<laugh>. I said, I keep telling people I'll always be this way or worse. Why? Because I'm gonna keep getting to know him more. See, he hasn't changed since I've been saved. He hasn't changed since the foundation of the world. He hasn't changed since the beginning. So why would I change? Unless I get my eyes off of truth. When truth makes me free and he that's free is free. So if I keep my eyes on truth and let the truth, keep my eyes single. I'm always full of light no matter what. Cause I'm not a conditional Christian. I'm not a Christian for things to go. Well, I'm a Christian to be like him. So I'm always receiving grace to fulfill that desire and faith. So come hell or high water. I'm positioned for Christ in me. The hope of glory,

Speaker 3: 26:17

Whether

Speaker 2: 26:18

You do me, right? Or whether you do me wrong, we're Sy bounds. Grace bounds much more that's on God's end. Well, he made us in his image. Why shouldn't that be our truth? We're Sy bounds. We get hurt, broken, trusted, skeptical, pull back and get tentative. I don't think that's what scripture's talking about.

Speaker 3: 26:44

Yay.

Speaker 2: 26:46

Do you hear the freedom in what I'm saying? Yeah, but you gotta want this people. We gotta want this. We don't just want his blessings and the in filling of his spirit and all the terms we use. No, no, no. We want his heart and his nature and his ways cuz that's freedom. Yeah. Like living for yourself is the biggest bummer on the earth. Like self-conscious always worrying about how it's gonna work out for you. It's like you were on this little saga journey with God and the whole, your whole life is everything's all about you. And Hey, that's a strategy from the devil and he just, and I gotta pray and they pulled out in front of me. That's devil trying to ruin my day and all this weird stuff. Amen.

Speaker 3: 27:26

Amen.

Speaker 2: 27:28

I got a mic. I can even do better. Matt, come on. And all of a sudden you're on this. Self-focused self-centered jury calling a faith and thinking it's spiritual.

Speaker 3: 27:47

Cause

Speaker 2: 27:47

It's so self-conscious it's so self focused. You think the devil is? So that caught up with you? No, he's already got you deceived. He probably don't even have to look your way. You're already doing good enough yourself. He's got you hook, line and sinker. He don't even have to hold the rod probably just sticks it in the holder and goes get somebody a little more challenging.

Speaker 3: 28:11

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 28:12

Cause you're hooked.

Speaker 3: 28:15

I'm just saying

Speaker 2: 28:18

My goodness. Don't make it so easy for him. Let me try to get this done. Guilt condemnation in shame. Third, fourth time. I'm trying to go back there and then I get excited and preach a couple other things. Let me tell you what guilt condemnation in shame is. Guilt is a subconscious confession that you're not forgiven. They're all three anti Christ finished anti-Christ works. Guilt, condemnation, shame are all anti-Christ things. Forget the book of revelations. When I say anti-Christ what I'm saying is it's anti finished work expressions. They're never in the tool belt of God. Guilt, condemnation, shame are never subcontracted by the Lord. On your behalf. Guilt is a subconscious confession that you're not forgiven. Condemnation is a subconscious confession. It's you receiving the fact that you believe you're worthy to be judged. Instead of redeemed shame is a really, really nasty one because it brings a lot of bad things on people's lives because shame is you believing you still are what you're ashamed of or you wouldn't be ashamed. It's hard for me to preach that and not cry because I see that when Rob so many people whose hearts have changed, If your heart wasn't okay, you would not cry. If your heart wasn't okay, you wouldn't care. So being ashamed of what you did cannot be the answer when you cry yourself to sleep, but don't fall asleep. You're already sorry. You must be alive inside. You must have seen the error of your ways. Why not run to him? Why are you hiding behind some rocks, somewhere naked when God paid the price to clothe you?

Speaker 3: 30:29

Jesus, Jesus.

Speaker 2: 30:30

Do you understand that he rules his kingdom with a CEP called righteousness, that he Knights you and marks you not guilty when you bow before him. And he lets you stand before him without any sense of guilt, condemnation or shame. That's what the word righteousness means to stand before the Lord, without any shame, without any guilt, without any condemnation to stand before the Lord and be right in his sight. Watch as if you've never sinned. I'm not sure why people have a hard time preaching that if you study the Bible and look at the words, that's what it means. You're acquitted. You're not guilty. You're as if you never sin. So how can we be before the Lord through the blood as if we never sin and remain sin conscious and think it's humility to boast in our ability to commit it. Well, brother, we're not perfect. We're always gonna sin. What are you trying to say? You're freaking me out brother. That's a little hairy red flag right there. What are you saying? You never sin brother. See, I'm not even talking about the act of sin. I'm talking about the identity of being free from sin. I can show you in the book of Romans three times, it says you're free from sin free from sin free from sin. It's in the book of Romans. It's Roman six. It's not my notes. It's the book of Romans. You're free from sin. Yeah, but brother, we're always gonna sin stop. You can't even hear the word of the Lord. That's religion. You're letting human experience Trump, the grace of God that brings change to your life. So who's yet to tell what's possible to become what grace did he pay for. Have we received the full measure of grace that he paid for on our lives? Have we believed to the place where every measure of grace he paid for has come upon us and made us what he paid for? Why don't we go after that? Why don't we see what living in the spirit is? Why don't we, why don't we go after what's possible? Why don't wake up every day and just believe we're righteous in his sight and that we're sons. And we don't have nothing to prove. His love has already proven to our hearts through Christ, across through a sun crucified. And why don't we just live by the spirit, not fulfill the lust of the flesh and present ourself as members under righteousness, which produces its fruit to holiness. Why don't we just live that way and come outta darkness into the light? Why don't we just reckon ourself dead indeed. Under sin and alive under God in Christ. Jesus. That's all

Speaker 3: 33:08

Scripture.

Speaker 2: 33:10

Does that sound like you have a brother? We're always gonna sin. I mean, what are you saying, man? You're freaking me out. Are you perfect? Not even talking perfection. I'm talking purity of heart and the pure and heart shall. Yeah. You're not waking up trying not to sin. I promise you that is deception. You're waking up enjoying being his that's the truth. The blood speaks better things than marking you for what you did wrong. The blood marks you for what he did, right? And if you don't start where he finished, you'll never run well because you'll get tricked into trying to accomplish something he all already did. And in your own strength, you'll fail and believe you're a failure and never grow in the knowledge of truth. And you know what all these lies are for to keep you from ever being with him. Because the whole goal is you to reproduce after your own kind. Your whole goal is to bear fruit and multiply after your own. So if the enemy can lie to you and keep you from seeing what you've become, you can never reproduce the fruit after him. There's nothing on the earth. That's multiplied without intimacy, without two coming together. There's nothing reproduced on the earth without two coming together. So if the enemy can keep you from coming together with him intimately, he can keep your life from ever being multiplied and reproduced from him. And you can have a knowledge of him. You can have a confession of him. You can have a Christian screensaver, R tone, bumper sticker and music plan and a t-shirt that says lifestyle and maybe not know him or be with him and let all the things you do in his name. Take the place of knowing him and have a form of something. Instead of becoming that very thing. Don't any of you let that happen to you. It's a lie. Every one of you have a right to be in his presence. Adam was so sin conscious. Adam was so sin conscious. He ran from the sound of the Lord coming and God found him. Adam, where are you? He knew where Adam was. He doesn't have to ask questions. He's giving Adam a chance to respond. Where are you, Adam. Adam. Where are you? Could you imagine? Adam's like,

Speaker 3: 35:56

I'm

Speaker 2: 35:56

Over here, Lord. I heard you coming. I was naked and ashamed. So I hid Adam. How did you know you were naked? Did you eat the tree that I forbid you to eat? It was the woman that you gave me. She gave me to eat, whatever that was. That was just a bam. Thank you Lord. I know it's good. I huh. It's the first sign of sin. It's the first effect of sin in your Bible, right on the heels of sin. The first sign of sin is self-preservation self defense. Self-awareness self centeredness ashamed. It was the woman you gave me. What's he saying he did Adam eat the tree was the question. Yes or no. Could he say yes or no? No. He couldn't take responsibility cuz all of a sudden he's a defender of himself instead of truth. Because sin perverted, everything that he was created to be and everything he was created to be took a 180 bam when he ate that tree. And all of a sudden, what he's saying is look, if you, when they gave me the woman probably wouldn't ate the tree, dude like work it out. The Lord says, woman, what is this you've done? She said it was the devil. He made me do it. That's really what she said. It was the serpent for, he gave me to eat. A lot of people teach, no Adam was standing right there when it all happened and he didn't take authority and step in and all that. I'm not sure I buy that. I, I look at Genesis four and in the end of three and Genesis three, I mean the end. And he says to Adam, because you heated the voice of your wife. Instead of me, Here's what I personally believe happened. Everything's out to reproduce itself after its own kind, cuz it's a law each seat after it's own kind. So the devil sees man and woman made in God's image to rule the earth and have dominion. He's really ticked off cuz one day he said, I'll be God, I'll be in the highest place. I'll rise above God's throne. Al sit in the highest place. Are you aware of that decree? And God says, you shouldn't have ought said that boom, boom onto the earth and it's dark and it's void and is no form. And all of a sudden God sh sh sh and now he breathes into dirt and a human being stands up. That looks just like his father. And then he reaches into that fullness and that amazing revelation and brings out a woman. That's where you came from ladies. The fullness of God in the man. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Whew. So God didn't make you cuz the man needed you in a sexual way, in a lesser way. He didn't even make a woman until he saw the fullness of God in the man. So the man is fully equipped to love her. Like he does. Amen. That's where a woman came from in the Bible. So I always say if there's a man in a woman's life, it oughta be because of the fullness of God and the man not cuz she's hot.

Speaker 3: 39:36

Amen.

Speaker 2: 39:46

Yeah. Don't cheer me on too much, buddy. This topic is intense. Is there an area in our lives, more exploited and more perverted or Larry, more focused on than sexuality. There's nothing even a close second people. Why you don't counterfeit$1 bills. You go after something that has great value and this whole sexual arena is so driven by emotions and sense you reality. And it keeps men bound to feelings and flesh and fantasies and tries to keep spirit filled people living there, come out from among them and be separate. There's a whole better thing on this side of the 180 cuz when you look at the beginning, he says, let us make man in our image. So in the likeness of God, he made man both male and female in his own likeness. He made them both male. And so what, so woman's created value to serve the man or to be found in God's likeness. You're not here to serve the man. You're here to be like him. And if we all live to be like Kim we'll serve one another. The reason she makes man complete is because man has an avenue to love and reproduce now and express and multiply who God made him to be. He doesn't, she doesn't make man complete cuz he had a deficit without her. He makes man complete because he can manifest and reproduce with her and multiply what he was created to be Till the whole earth is filled with his glory and we've turned it into sexual relations. Orgasms loneliness need to be loved, need to be held, need to feel special, need to be valued. We've turned it into curves and bus size and to just keep sensuality, just thriving. Keep the flesh raging. Maybe even in the midst of our worship.

Speaker 3: 42:00

Oh

Speaker 2: 42:00

It's sure

Speaker 3: 42:02

I'm

Speaker 2: 42:02

Feeling that the first thing on every list of the flesh is sexuality. I could turn you to IANS. I could turn you to Corinthians Galatians. Yeah. Ephesians, Colossians sexuality. First thing on the list. And he doesn't tell you to manage it. He doesn't tell you to balance it and he doesn't tell you to control it. He tells you to put it to death. Why? Cause what you were trained in is alive from hell. It was not from the beginning. What God gave us our sex drive. Stop it. Adam gave you what you grew up with. God gave you love not sex drive. God gave you love not sex drive. And just like we see his first love. We love him. The wife sees a love that she's sheltered in protected in that she's nurtured in. And she opens herself up to what is the safest place she's ever been and been held in that place. She opens up and responds in that. Love that two come together and reproduce in that place after their own kind. And the earth is filled with his glory. It's not about orgasms. It's about holiness and his presence. It's about love. Why would you sell out for an orgasm when his presence wants to overtake you in your covenant union with your spouse?

Speaker 3: 43:41

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 43:45

I'm done with all that. Listen, let me go back and get safe. I'll go. I'll go. Go in safe ground. Remember go condemnation, shame. So let's go back to the end of Genesis. Now we're in Genesis four and or, or the end of Genesis three. I mean, and he says, it says that God took off the fig leaves from Adam and Eve and what he do put on animal skins that were made from his own hand. So yeah, God's a hunter.

Speaker 3: 44:25

<laugh> you know

Speaker 2: 44:30

They to skin'em out.

Speaker 3: 44:32

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 44:35

I'm just saying. So because of their sin, something already had to lose its blood. Something lost its life because sin costs life. That's why sin. There's no remission to sin without the shedding of blood cuz sin costs life. But this isn't the redemption of man. This is just a sign to us. This is God prophe sign and speak. And it's you it's righteousness. I know everybody preaches blood covenant there cuz the animals had the shed, their blood to get their skins. And it's true. It's blood covenant, but why isn't it righteousness to us? He took off their fig leaves and put animal skins made with his own hands. So who clothed them? If he let the fig leaves on Adam and Eve in Genesis three every day they wake up, what is their awareness? The day they messed up and blew it big. I mean, you know, we, we have jokes and we blame it on the woman and the women get mad and say, well he was in authority. He shouldn't have followed her and there's fights all the time. And I heard this one story, you know that this guy said he had a revelation that Adam and even, and the kids came and Abel were walking through the mountains one day and it's desolate and charred and there's not much there. And they look down into this valley of lush and green and life and, and, and, and Kane says, or Abel says, mom, dad,

Speaker 3: 46:04

Look at that

Speaker 2: 46:05

Place down there. We should go live there. And Adam said, well, we used to some, but your mother ate us outta house and home.

Speaker 3: 46:16

But it's

Speaker 2: 46:17

But it's really not. That way. Eve was deceived and Adam followed her instead of God. So he literally committed treason and went against the word, the Lord and followed his wife. So it's really on Adam. I believe so. I just told that joke just because

Speaker 3: 46:42

That's awesome.

Speaker 2: 46:48

I know honey, I'm sorry. It was a bad joke. Oh, was it that bad? She's my little friend. She sits right behind me. I tickle her. Now I tell a joke. She's crying. If God leaves their fig leaves on what's their conscious awareness. Every day they live the day they missed and that they're separate from God and they're naked and they're shamed. Every time the fig leaves start to wear out and they have to make new ones and cover themselves. What are they aware of the day? They blew. It messed up the best thing ever. So what's wrapped around that regret, guilt condemnation. And the Bible says where there's regret it's death. It leads to death. The worldly way, the worldly way Corinthians seven, second Corinthians seven. The worldly way of sorrow is regret. And it leads to death cuz there's no redemption in regret, but the godly way is godly sorrow where you realize how you hurt the plan of God, you affected the lives of others. You lived outside of what was purposeful and right. And you go, whoa, duh, what was I thinking you? Whether you weep or whether you just sincerely go man, and take a step back and look and go, whoa and run to him. That's godly sorrow. It leads to repentance. There's of indication in it. A clearing of yourself. There's an increased zeal and indignation towards the lie. And you prove to be clear in the matter, by the way you live and respond. That's what the scripture says in second IANS seven. It's very powerful. So guess what God does. God puts animal skins on him. So when they wake up and see the animal skins, what's their first awareness. The day God loved them, forgave them and promised that there was a seed coming through the woman that would crush the head of the enemy. So what did God do by putting on the animal skins? He's prophesying the coming of his son and the day that men would live in righteousness covered by the work of God. So he rules his kingdom with a CEP of righteousness and we've gotta be skilled in righteousness. We've gotta understand righteousness. And we gotta wake up every day and present ourselves. As members unto righteousness. The Bible says you're a slave to righteousness. The word slave means chained and bound to, to serve its testimony. I'm I'm bound and chained to righteousness, to live, not guilty for the rest of my life because of his blood. Is that amazing or what? So why do countless well, meaning Christians that are sincere, sell out to guilt, condemnation and shame, identity Christ insecurity and unworthiness, and look in the mirror and not like who they are. Cause we don't believe this gospel and we don't separate ourselves from the thing we did wrong and run to him. We're hiding in the fig leaves and the just shall live by. Yeah, but brother, you don't know what I've done. He knew what you did before you did it. And he knew what you did before he sent his son. He sees all things. He's up mission. He knows the beginning from the end, he, he knew you were gonna miss it when he already was hanging there crucified. But he's hoping and desiring and believing that his life given would draw you under him, that you would see his goodness and you would be changed. Yeah. And then all this religion and all this other stuff, creeps in and works and legalism and all this stuff. And then there's pendulum swings like this and people get real tight with it. And then the other camp goes, ah, and they get real loose with it. And then they get tighter and they get

Speaker 3: 50:39

Looser

Speaker 2: 50:41

And Jesus is standing here going, Hey

Speaker 3: 50:43

Guys, there's a

Speaker 2: 50:47

Happy place right here. And then instead of walking in love, these camps fight and they write all this stuff. And next thing you know, you're not even preaching the gospel. You're just preaching what everybody's missing. You're not even preaching the gospel after a while. You're just preaching who not to listen to. Who's wrong.

Speaker 3: 51:14

You preach the gospel.

Speaker 2: 51:19

If I preach a clear gospel, won't it protect you from the lives out there

Speaker 3: 51:25

Come.

Speaker 2: 51:29

So when God put the fig leaves on him or off of him and put the animal skins on him, what he's doing is he's teaching them that every day they wake up, they think about the day that he came and forgave them in the midst of what they did wrong, how he loved them and made them a promise of a future. It's a sign of righteousness. When he put those skins on'em couple chapters later, men are continually wicked in their hearts continually. Do you know where I'm at? Genesis six. And it says the Lord looked and he was sorry that he made man, cuz man was just P and people get, they tear those scriptures up. They're like, oh, so God was sorry. Then why do you make man in the first place? He's not a man that he should repent. Why was he sorry? You, we get so literal. Sometimes we miss the God's look in knowing the purpose and destiny of man. He knows why man's on the earth and he's looking, it's so perverted. And, and, and everybody's doing the opposite extreme opposite of what they're here for living for themself at the cost and expense of one another. When they're called to lay down their lives for each other. So guess what God does. He sends a flood. You know that right? And Noah and his family built a big old arc, got persecuted for it. But when the flood waters came, they were in the arc. They were floating on the water and everybody drowned sounds pretty awful. Huh? Peter explains it in one Peter three. This is Genesis six, man. This is only a few chapters past the beginning. Peter says, you know, there was a day when eight righteous souls were saved through water Noah and his family, eight righteous souls were saved through water. We have this anti type, which now saves

Speaker 3: 53:13

Us.

Speaker 2: 53:15

Well, father was the blood brother. It is the blood, but it's also wood or baptism. What do you mean? Listen, we have this anti type, which now saves us water. Baptism, not the cleansing of your flesh, but the answer for a good conscience toward God. What's he talking about? What happens in water? Baptism? You died. Everything you've ever been. When you come outta the water, what are you righteous in the sight of God? What happened in the days of Noah? God baptized the earth in water. And when he brought the earth out of the water, there was no unrighteousness on the earth. And the only thing that remained through the water was eight righteous souls. And then he spoke to Noah almost verbatim. What he spoke to Adam from the beginning, cause the plans the same, But he said this. He said, I'll never destroy the earth this way. Again. It'll never be like this. And he put a rainbow in the sky as a sign of his promise. What was he saying? There's a baptism coming. That is righteousness, not death. And the only thing that'll die is what men were. But they're coming out of it alive. Men will not lose their life in the baptism coming except the life that they were. Peter had a revelation and said, there's an anti type, which now saves us. Who knows it would be good to have a good conscience towards God who knows a good conscience towards God would put you in intimacy with God and keep a veil off your face. And you would stay one with him with a good conscience towards God. Is that true? Yes. So what's Jesus say in the book of mark believe and be he didn't separate the two believe and be, and be baptized and you shall be, he didn't say, believe in you shall be saved. That's what we say. He said, believe in be baptized and you shall be saved. Why he's going after the good conscience and the righteousness in the dead to everything we were. Why did water baptism almost slip out of the church in most circles? And it's sometimes it's an annual event at best. Cause we don't preach transformation. We preach go to heaven. So we don't see the purpose of dying. We just say, confess him. You show me one place in the book of acts, where they preach the gospel without water baptism and where men got saved and they didn't baptize'em immediately. It was all part of the message cuz it was all about transformation and coming out in righteousness believe and be, and you shall be Sozo healed, delivered, protected, preserved, made hole and kept safe. Now you guys with me, come on. This stuff is not difficult. You know, Jesus says, believe in be baptized and you shall be saved and you know what we've done. We've argued and split up and divided. What's the name of Jesus only. It's the name of the father? Son. Holy spirit. No, no. That's old covenant. That's new Covenant's name of Jesus, immersion sprinkling. Ah, and then all of a sudden we fight and we disagree and it's just so simple. Believe in be baptizing shall be saved and we've made it complicated. He said, these signs shall follow those. That belief they'll cast out devils they'll speak in new tongues. We don't even really sometimes believe there's devils and we fight over tongues and think it's of the devil. Isn't it amazing what we've done with the precious gospel. Believe in be baptized. You shall be saved. I've baptized people that were 20. So sincere, ready. I've had parents call me so offended and so mad at me and say, what are you doing? Baptizing? My daughter, I had her sprinkled when she was born and I'm like, well, good. Something took that's awesome. You should be excited. Mama nobody's violating your efforts. You're we're not Reba that wasn't a believer. Baptism. That was a Christing. That was a dedication. That was you presenting your daughter to the Lord in faith. Trusting his hand would be upon her life. She's 20. She wants him. She's laying down her life. Now's her believer. Baptism. She didn't believe a thing. She doesn't even remember that when she was a newborn. Why would you in a deny her of her believer, baptism. Maybe we do this stuff for ourself to feel good. And then we get violated and offended when our feel good is threatened. And now we're offended. Cuz well what's what wasn't good enough about what I had done. Probably time to die. Mother

Speaker 3: 58:26

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 58:27

Here. We have a water baptism. I'll help you

Speaker 3: 58:31

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 58:35

You can't believe how much this stuff happens when you're in ministry, the misunderstanding and how flared up people get and how heckled they get. Like, like the feather. I mean it's amazing. It just shows that we don't understand we're supposed to be dead feathers. Just. I mean we ought to all, just get plucked. People say, well they get on my nerves. I'm thinking you ought to get new nerves. You're praying for them to change so they don't get on your nerves. And I think God's saying get new nerves. It's like my pastor, he was at an order and this lady come up and she tried. She flattered him a little bit. She was trying to honor him to get him to pray a little bit. She, she really, she said it was funny. She's like, you are such a man of God. I know when you pray, God answers your prayers and you walk close with him. And I really need you to agree with me and pray. And he's like, okay honey, I'll just pray. You don't have to flatter me anymore. And she said, well, please just pray with me. For my husband. He, he knows how to get me going. He has learned what to do and how to push my buttons in the right way. And he does it on purpose and it just gets me every time. And I want you to agree with God with me that God would cause him to stop pushing my butt.

Speaker 3: 59:50

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 59:52

And my pastor's a very wise man and he smiled and gently said, you know, I think I have a better line of prayer. She said, wow, what do you wanna pray, sir? Man ago? Let's pray that you go buttonless

Speaker 3: 1:00:03

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:00:09

If there ain't nothing to push what he's doing, won't work. If you got a button, it'll be pushed. And she went, oh, cuz that's not what people are looking for. That's that microwave thing Todd's talking about. They just want the spouse to change. But if the spouse changes, that just benefits you in that moment. But you're still the same person and somebody else can push a button. Probably be better to just get rid of the buttons. Yeah. Or try to pray the rest of your life. That God orchestrates everybody the way you need them. That would not be cool. Are you guys okay?

Speaker 3: 1:00:49

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 1:00:50

Okay. I, uh, I don't even know what to do right now. I was hoping in my Bible in faith, hoping it landed somewhere. You wanna go, Hey man, thanks. You wanna go to John chapter 20 with me and we'll close. We're gonna pray something tonight. We're gonna have fun. Something, something good's gonna happen in here. And it already has. But, but what I mean is God's gonna manifest some things in our lives. Our bodies it'll be fun. He will. Yeah, I know he will. It's just the way he is. I preach this all the time. If you've listened to YouTube, you've heard me preach. I preach this all the time. It's in my top 100 list. This scripture it's John 20. If you have a Bible, you can go there. If you won, pull it up on your phone, cuz your screen will be lighted and you can read it. That would be good. I won't think you're texting. It doesn't matter if I think you are or not. Anyway, you know, if you are so<laugh> did you ever hear somebody say, well, nobody will know. You'll know and that's a problem cuz your conscience won't do well with that knowledge. And then it'll subvert intimacy and you'll never bear fruit because you won't be with him. Boomer. You know the story in John 20 Mary went to the tomb and the tomb, the stone was rolled away and Jesus wasn't in there, right? It's one of the most phenomenal sections of scripture, cuz it teaches us so much about this being free from sin thing and how God sees us and who knows the setting. The setting is trauma. The setting is all these disciples are gonna die for him at the supper table. He gets struck. They all scatter one disciple runs out of his garments in his attempt to get away and streaks through the trees with nothing on. Now I don't know about you, but if you run outta your clothes, you're probably trying to get away. But a minute ago they're gonna die for him. Could you imagine Jesus, if he was anything like us at the last supper and he has four knowledge that they're all gonna scatter and they're all sitting there saying, we'll die for you. We'll die for him. And they're all whispering among themselves. I don't know. I don't care what he says. You know? I mean he's usually right, but, but he, he thinks we're gonna desert him. I'll never desert him. I'm ready to die for him. I ain't never denied him. I'll give him my life. Yeah, me too. We're in dude. Yeah. It's probably where fist bumps started right there at that table.<laugh> could you picture that conversation? They're all fist bumping under the table. So Jesus can't see, But yet Jesus knows. Jesus knows they're gonna be betray him. Jesus knows. Peter's denying him. Jesus knows. Judas has already sold out. Jesus knows. Could you imagine if he was anything like us, he can't even break the bread. He can't even pass the cup. He's a hurting vessel, man. I can't even trust these guys. I poured myself into these guys intimately and now they're gonna bail on me. As soon as I'm struck, they're gonna pick up their own lives that they said they laid down and they're gonna run off and run away as if they don't even know me. That is painful. I'm hurt. And I need prayer.

Speaker 3: 1:04:09

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:04:12

Could you picture Jesus breaking the bread and looking around the table going, I know you guys, I was gonna break this and say something, but I just can't, you know, I thought I could trust

Speaker 3: 1:04:31

You.

Speaker 2: 1:04:32

I mean, I'm even wondering if it was the Lord's voice when I heard your names. Cause if it was really God, I mean you guys would be better.

Speaker 3: 1:04:44

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:04:48

Then he sits down at the table and John comes over and snugs get off of me, John

Speaker 3: 1:04:53

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:04:55

I'm tired of you acting like you love me when you're not ready to die for me, just stay off of me. Look, it's a little tense right now.<laugh> they're coming in a minute and I'm love you. Don't love me. You love yourself.

Speaker 3: 1:05:17

You

Speaker 2: 1:05:17

Say, well, he couldn't do that. Cause all the scriptures were written. It was all God he's Jesus. He couldn't do that. Cause he's Jesus. He couldn't do that. Cuz he's love. That's why he couldn't do that. And he called you to love like he loves. And if he loved us this way, we not love one another. So when I put that mentality in his mouth, the reason we're laughing hysterically, cuz we know that's the common mentality on the earth, but it sounds hysterical putting in the mouth of Jesus cuz we know the person of Jesus. So why doesn't that mentality sound just as hysterical in us because we're made for his image and as the father sent me, so I send you and as he is, so are we and the things I do you'll do. If you believe in your predestined to be conformed to the image of his son and he's first born among many they're all scriptures like six of them, right in a row. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Do you need any more? There's a couple more

Speaker 3: 1:06:19

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:06:22

You have exceedingly great and precious promises by which you partake of his divine nature. Escaping the corruption. That's in the world through self-centered seeking second Peter one. Oh, it's right there. What's the promises for, to assure that you have ample grace to partake of who he is on the inside. So you can be separate from living for yourself. Like you used to and escape the snare that's in the world. So if any man come after me, let him first deny himself. He didn't say first pray a prayer. In case he dies tonight and hits a tree and doesn't make it

Speaker 3: 1:06:59

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:07:02

He didn't say that he didn't, he doesn't. If anybody is gonna come after me, anybody you're all invited. If anybody's gonna come after me, let him deny himself. Why? Cause you were not made for you. You're made for my image and I'm here representing the image you were made for. When you see me, you've seen the father. Now don't just sing to me and don't just pray to me when you're in need. Follow me. So deny yourself. Pick up your cross, taxi through life and situations with the perspective where you don't let sin against you have the right to commit sin in you or through you. You overcome evil with good. You tone down a harsh word with a kind word. You let mercy triumph over judgment and you let mercy cover and love. Cover a multitude of sin. Follow me. Don't just come to me and try to get to heaven. Come to me and let me put heaven back into you. So the kingdom of God is here and don't look there and don't look there cause it's in you. You see what's wrong with me?

Speaker 3: 1:08:24

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:08:24

That's good news. And my problem is I believe it. I believe it I'm gonna sleep so good tonight. It doesn't even make sense to people.<laugh> like I sleep about five hours. You'd have to hit me on the head with a hammer to get me to sleep more than five and a half. Why? How just full of life. I'm gonna go to bed tonight. It's gonna be like a battery charger. I'm gonna lay down and it's just gonna be like, click. I'll go to bed. I'll have to go to bed by faith.

Speaker 3: 1:08:55

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:08:57

Well I'll lay in bed and I'll be like, father, you just

Speaker 3: 1:09:00

<laugh>.

Speaker 2: 1:09:04

And in about five hours, that little light will go. It's not, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to condemn anybody. I'm just telling you full of life. Just I'm like, I'm like a battery charger, man. He just, but I go to bed that way. Wake up that way. That's what Todd was explaining this morning. You don't go to bed and make love with your pillow and be glad you made it through the day. That's why you can't get up in the morning cuz you can't face what you barely made it through. I mean, we call it depression. I call it wrong. Thinking, not be mean to people that have clinical situations, but a lot of it's perspective problems. You can't face what almost destroyed you. How did Jesus wake up every day? When they were constantly out to get him, he would stand in the streets and preach absolute total flawless truth. And all they would hear for and listen for is what they didn't agree with and what they could criticize. And he got up and faced that every day. He heard their thoughts, words. Weren't cool and stayed the same. I love him. I'm learning from him. I'm gonna follow him. How about following him with me? Yeah, I gotta do this. It's gonna get late. I'm sorry. They really give you the mic late here though. You know, we like really are in love with Jesus and worship him. We do all them testimonies. Is it phenomenal or what? Listen to all them Testim. I sit there and love the testimonies, but it's scary when you give me a mic at like eight 15 and I'm like just getting wound up right now.

Speaker 6: 1:11:22

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:11:23

Like, I never, like I never land. I just stopped cuz of time. Like actually a week ago was the first time in my Christian life that I landed that, that I was done preaching. I, I, it was, it was amazing to me. I was like, huh? The pastor looked at me like for real

Speaker 6: 1:11:43

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:11:44

They said, oh, we usually go to about 12 at 1127. I was done and I stopped, but I landed. I was done. I knew I was done. And the Lord was like, if you talk anymore, you'll talk too much. You're done. I went, this is the first time ever.

Speaker 6: 1:12:03

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:12:04

Like, I have never heard the control tower. Say bring it in Dan ever like I'm I'm going. I see the runway. I see where we can land. We're right in line. We go right back around. You say, aren't you gonna run out of fuel? Not a chance, buddy. We will all night long people falling outta windows, ski up, but a never heard to control tower. Tell me to bring it in. Ever people teach how you gotta learn to wrap up and cast the net and end a sermon. I don't even know what they're talking about. I stand up here in my heart, goes like I don't even know what's coming out next. I have nothing planned. My preparation's being with him. You know what? He told me a long, long, long time ago, like 23 years ago, three days saved. God spoke to me in English. He said, I'm gonna put revelations of my love and righteousness in you. And you're gonna speak to many of my people. He said, however, I don't ever want you to read your Bible to preach a sermon. He said, I only ever want you to read your Bible to know me and only ever speak outta who I am in your life. And that will carry weight and bring change. Let's do John 20. So the guys are scared. They're in the room. They're scared. They're hiding somewhere. They're afraid. We would've too. We're not dishing on them. They weren't making fun of them. They were afraid of death. Like some Christians in new covenant are afraid of death. They were afraid that what happened to Jesus was gonna happen to them. So they were huddled for fear of that and afraid to leave the room. Miss Mary, she just goes right out to the tomb cuz she loves him. He's the best thing that ever happened to her. And she don't care if he's dead, it's the best way she can relate. She'll just lean against the stone with her cheek on it if she has to. But she's gonna be where he is. That's Mary. I love it. Mary gets there and the stones rolled away and he's not there. That's a little Starling to a woman like Mary, you gotta understand, this is not a Bible story. This isn't a movie scene. This is real. This happened to a woman that knew him, a woman that loved him, obviously with her life. So she gets there and Jesus says to her in verse 15 woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking? She's supposing him to be the gardener said, sir, now I can't answer. I don't know. Haven't even thought about it or really asked the Lord about it. It didn't seem that important ever to me, but I'm thinking about it right now. I don't know why she didn't recognize him immediately Because she thought he was the gardener. She said, sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you've laid him. Look how much she honors him. She just wants to get his body. Tell me where you've laid him. And I will take him away. And Jesus said to her, imagine this guys, this happened to Mary. She loved him. He said Mary. And she goes,

Speaker 3: 1:15:30

Can you imagine?

Speaker 2: 1:15:33

But last time she sees him. He's unrecognizable and dead. And you can't tell it's him unless you were with him from the beginning. Cuz he was marred more than any of the sons of men. Jesus's V was marred more than anybody ever was by people. It's in your Bible. The worst thing they've ever done to a man, Jesus looked worse than that. When you light somebody on fire on a stake and stack wood around that stake and torture a person. When the fire goes out, do you think you can tell that they're even male or female.

Speaker 3: 1:16:19

He

Speaker 2: 1:16:20

Lost his appearance. He, he, he lost his visit. You couldn't recognize him. You didn't even know who it was. Why was it? So, so why, why did it ha why couldn't it just be 39 lashes and some spikes and some blood

Speaker 3: 1:16:39

Because

Speaker 2: 1:16:39

In the garden, God made man for his image and he told Adam to never eat the tree or the day you eat the tree, you're surely gonna die. He was talking about the image cuz Adam didn't fall over dead. So when sin got done with Adam in the garden, he didn't look anything like he was created to be, he lost his appearance. So Jesus had to come and lose his appearance as a man to pay the, to get man's appearance back in the Lord, he was separated from God. So you're forever joined. He died. So you'll forever live. He was marred beyond description. So you and I could get our identity back.

Speaker 3: 1:17:28

Wow.

Speaker 2: 1:17:30

It's very powerful. You gotta see this stuff. It's more than an Easter story. A suffering savior. It's God becoming man and fulfilling what man failed. So man could be restored back to what he was created to be don't minimize it. Don't follow the flesh. Let's go after this thing, he says Mary and she turned to him and said Rabo, which means teacher? She recognized him. It's you teach her now? You know she's bolting for him. She's going right at him. She's not like backing up. Oh, she's running straight at him. Cuz he said, don't clinging to me, Mary she's coming hard.<laugh> she's like Raponi She's coming. And he says, don't clinging to me, Mary, why is he unsocial? He tells you why don't clinging to me, Mary. I haven't yet ascended to the father. What's he saying? The reason I'm here? The reason I came has come. It was finished on the cross. I didn't need to take any more beaten. It was all complete. I gave my spirit up. I died, but now I'm raised from the dead. The best part is coming right now. I'm gonna take my blood, not the blood of bulls and goats, but I'm gonna take my own blood into the mercy seat, into heavenly tabernacle. And I'm gonna be a priest under God for man. And I'm gonna sit down on that blood at the right hand and make mediation on behalf of men for all time. So Mary don't clinging to me yet, cuz that didn't wrap this thing up yet. I gotta go to the father that's what's happening and you'll see it's Hebrews nine. It's right here. It's unfolding. Hebrews nine is happening right here. This is how you know it. Don't clinging to me, Mary. I have not yet ascended to my father, but go tell my lowlife backs stabbing two face, say one thing, do another non disciples that I have plenty of issues and concerns about them. And I'm thinking of enrolling them into some more discipleship course. Don't clinging to me, Mary. I haven't yet as sended to my father, but we Google tell my brother in isn't that amazing. They didn't do one thing. Right? And when he called him brother and he's saying, I haven't changed my mind about you. I know what you're here for. I know what I've invested in you. And I know what's possible. You go tell my brother and that I'm going to my father and your father. He's making us one. I'm going to my God and your God. What's he saying to them, boys, I'm not mad and you are not disqualified. You know what the word father means there come forth from I'm going to the one I came forth from and I'm going to the one you came forth from, you know what the word God means there source of life. I'm going to the source of life. And he's your source of life. You came forth from the source of

Speaker 3: 1:20:47

Life.

Speaker 2: 1:20:53

Mary came and told the disciples and that she had seen the Lord and spoken these things to her. And then the same day in the evening. Now we know he was on the road to a mass with two other disciples in another gospel. And right about evening time, he broke bread in their eyes opened and they went, oh, that was the Lord. We should have known didn't our hearts burn when he spoke. Wow,

Speaker 3: 1:21:12

Cops the Lord.

Speaker 2: 1:21:14

So I'm not sure he had a busy schedule that day, but we know he said he was going to the father. So did he go to the father? He said, don't clinging to me. I haven't yet ascended. So do you think he ascended Because he came back same day. Here's how you know he ascended it's Romans five one. You now have peace with God through the Lord. Jesus Christ by faith, through the Lord, Jesus Christ, meaning his blood and have access into this grace in which we now stand. So you have, what did the blood do? Made peace between God and man, what's the first thing out of his mouth. When he walked into the room of the guys that were assembled for fear of the Jews, he walked in and said peace to you. Why? Cuz right now his blood is on the mercy seat. Speaking better things. And men are no longer seeing guilty in the sight of God for their sins when they believe

Speaker 3: 1:22:11

I'll let you go.

Speaker 2: 1:22:12

So watch what he does. He, he, he helps make them believers, hands, his side. They were so glad when they saw it was the Lord. Do you see that in your Bible? So glad when they saw it was the Lord. As soon as they realized

Speaker 3: 1:22:29

It's

Speaker 2: 1:22:29

Really you, what's the first thing that you think hit their souls. How they betrayed him, how they denied him, how they didn't do one thing. Right? Do you think that's probably what happened? What's the next thing out of his mouth. He says peace to you. Shows him his hands aside. They go, wow, it's really you. And then they go, oh and the second thing out of his mouth, peace to you. It's a different piece. The first piece is I've made peace between you and God. You have peace with God. The second piece is, Hey, I know how you're feeling right now, but stop it. It's okay. I love you.

Speaker 3: 1:23:05

Amen.

Speaker 2: 1:23:05

Don't you be condemned? I haven't changed my mind about you. How do you know? He's saying that Dan you're reading into that. Nope. Watch peace be to you watch as the father sent me. So I send you, he's totally commissioning them to follow him and they've done nothing right? To this point, his blood speaking, better things, qualifying them and making them righteous in the sight of God. So he's handing them the Baton of the new covenant, new Testament church. And we say, as he says, as the father send me, so I send you and we usually bring in the power of God there and miracles, but for God. So, so how did God send the son in love as the father sent me? So I send you now watch what he did. This is the part that gives the whole chapter away. When he said this, he breathed on them and said receive the holy spirit. So it sounds like Jesus is a little charismatic. Maybe he's been going to a spirit filled church for a while. I don't know, but he's like receive holy spirit. Whoa, just having fun with you. He holds all things together by the word of his power. Why doesn't he just say receive holy spirit? Why'd he breathe on him. Very important. You don't miss this. He's the redemption of man. He brings man back to the beginning. So what happened on the first day of man, God saw man for what he wanted to make man to be. And he breathed on that vision. And man became a living, being, he goes, puts his blood on the mercy seat. The lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. So now he took the sin away. He didn't just forgive it. He took it away, came back day one where God breathe in into man. And man can live again. As if sin never happened. The tree of the knowledge of good and evils still there. The voice is still there. Follow me.

Speaker 3: 1:25:40

Amen.

Speaker 2: 1:25:40

And the Josh I live by, are you guys getting this? Yeah, it's the only reason he would breathe. Why wouldn't he just say, be filled with holy spirit. He breathes. So we don't miss it. That we're brought back to the beginning to original value and our consciousness is no longer sin, but Christ in us. So we wake up every day and celebrate that truth. Trees that become good and are fruits, automatic trees of righteousness, the planning of the Lord. Are you with me? Yes. So that's your life in him? Not being mean, not being sarcastic. I can't live that for you. And no one can live that for you. You gotta say in your heart. That's amazing. And I believe that God, and that's my purpose. That's my potential. And that's how you see me cuz you died once for and I'm not gonna be so self-centered and deceived that I exclude myself from all.

Speaker 3: 1:26:42

Yeah,

Speaker 2: 1:26:44

Yeah. I've had people say yeah brother. I mean, Hey, it works for you. That just doesn't work for me. Oh my goodness. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. That's deception. It's not that the gospel works. It's relational and it's God loves you. So you be loved by God and your life be changed. Do you know why we pray for the sick? You know why Todd prayed for the sick last night? You say because they were sick. Well, that sounds right. But the reason we pray for the sick and should have faith to pray for the sick is the forgiveness of sin. And by his stripes were healed. He bore our sin and your sin and my sin and his body on a tree that we having lived for righteousness, not guilty were not guilty by his stripes. We're real. Do you remember the serpents that came in the wilderness and they were biting people and they were dying by the thousands because they loathe the worthless bread. The manner that was coming down from heaven, they said, and what is this worthless stuff? Anyway, what was a type in shadow of the bread that was coming? It was a sign of the gospel in God's provision, in sustaining power through Christ. He said I was the I'm the bread. So the bread was Christ. And guess what they did, they complained and loathed it and said, we don't want this stuff anymore. What is it? Anyway, manna and thousands of them died when these serpents came and Moses went on behalf of the people cuz they said, look, Moses, we've sinned. We've made a big mistake. Would you go tell God? We're sorry. So Moses runs over to God and tears another robe and throws some dirt on his head and says, God, would you forgive the people? He says, you know what? I'll forgive him. He said, here's what I need you to do. Moses, you take bronze, meld it down and make a replica of that serpent in spite them. And you hold it up on a pole and it'll be that every man that looks it's still the medical symbol to this day, the serpent on the pole it'll be that any man that was bitten, looks at that pole and sees that serpent on the pole. And, and, and if he was bitten, he'll be healed. Well, I was 5, 6, 7 months saved. And I'm sitting on my bed reading that. And I'm like, this is really weird. You're not supposed to make graven images. You're not to make false idols. Why would you make a bronze serpent and put it on a pole? Why wouldn't you wave a flag that says ya,

Speaker 3: 1:28:59

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:29:00

Why wouldn't you take Aaron's Rob that butted and, and hold it up to represent life. Why wouldn't you take the arc of the covenant and elevate it so people could see, why would you put the serpent that was killing them, make a replica and put it on a poll. And the Lord said, it's very simple, Dan, they're my Hebrew people. They understand the law that anything hanging on a pole has been cursed by God. So I put the thing that was killing them on a pole, faith rose in their heart, cuz they knew I answered Moses' prayer and cursed what was killing them. And they were instantly healed and he who knew no sin was made to. So did God curse his son on the cross or did he curse sin in the flesh

Speaker 3: 1:29:48

Sin?

Speaker 2: 1:29:48

You're not supposed to see a suffering savior. You're supposed to see sin cursed by God. And it'll be that any man looks to him by his stripes. We are, cause I'm not guilty. I'm not condemned. He was made to be sin. So I could become the righteousness of God in Christ to be judged, not guilty. We turning him into a, we turn him into a suffering savior and a passport to eternal life. And we miss that. The law of the spirit of life in Christ has made me free from the law of sin and death. That sin shall have no dominion over me cuz God cursed sin in the flesh. We're supposed to get that. So it's why we pray for the sick.

Speaker 3: 1:30:36

Yes.

Speaker 2: 1:30:38

Yeah. Can we, is there a way to get some lights out here so we can see each other or can't you do that? Will that mess up something? Somebody help me. Can we don't they turn them lights on or they keep you guys in the dark or why doesn't somebody like turn on the light? Like, like I wanna be able to see you guys. We need to see each other there, there we go. Good. We're gonna do something we're gonna close, but I wanna do something. Okay. I usually have an auto call for this. I'm not, I'm gonna let you guys pray for each other and it's gonna be phenomenal. Yeah. That's exactly what I feel like. It's called redemption. It's brought back to original value. I get testimonies from people cuz I preach this stuff. Okay. The reason I get testimonies, isn't like just cuz I'm anointed. I have a gifting. I'm not making light of that stuff, but we focus on it so much. Oh you're so anointed. Do you have a gifting or please? You gotta pray for me. Stop, stop. You believe the gospel that stop running to one person all the time for prayer thinking they gotta grip on something. The whole reason we're to teach is to teach in crane and train and equip and multiply for the work of the ministry. Yeah. So, so the reason that I get these emails and testimonies isn't because of the gifting on my life. It's cuz of the message I preach. Don't miss that. I can tell when I say that there's always people that wanna fight that and they don't believe that they think the reason that there was healing last night is cuz we're under the umbrella of Todd White's ministry. That's what people believe. No it's cuz we're making the gospel simple and saying he loves us all this way and we can all be believers. You show me one scripture that it says these signs shall follow the gifted, The sign follows, who believer. And I think that's you and me?

Speaker 3: 1:32:30

Yes.

Speaker 2: 1:32:33

I saw the sick killed way before anybody called me pastor. Why? Because I'm a believer.

Speaker 3: 1:32:40

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 1:32:41

But here's the testimonies I get from people because I preach this and we're gonna do it tonight and I'm not gonna have an order call. I usually have an order call and I, I have fun with it because I don't usually pray for people much in services. Cuz then the focus gets on the individual that's ministering and the speaker. But when it comes to redemption, I usually jump in and have fun cuz I like it. And uh, I like when Jesus takes something out of your body, that's not supposed to ever come out. I really like it. Like an STD like hepatitis, like the email I just got after several tests, HIV undetectable, not cuz I'm anointed and gifted. Cuz I preached this stuff. Cause I stood on the beach on Florida. And she said, are you trying to tell me that God would take aids outta my body? All of said, I'm telling you, he absolutely would take aids outta your body. Amen. If he forgave you of all your sin and will never see you as a drug addict or a prostitute, then why would, if God will never judge you honey, for where you've been. Why is where you've been judging you. If old things pass away and all things become new, that ain't new, that's old. That needs to go.

Speaker 3: 1:34:00

Amen.

Speaker 2: 1:34:02

So if you could go back and do over again and change those days of a drug addiction would you, of course you're not using anymore. You're not selling your body anymore. You're not doing cheap tricks to stay high sweetheart. You're not the woman you're telling me about you've been changed. So if God will never judge you for where you've been, where you've been should never have the right to judge you. Cause all things are made new. Yeah. But brother, she made her bed. She needs to sleep in and no, no, no. Jesus has a brand new bed prepared for her. It's called new life through Jesus Christ, clean sheets, amazing crawl in and sleep tight baby.

Speaker 4: 1:34:44

Yeah, come on.

Speaker 2: 1:34:48

If you're a new creation and old things pass away and behold, all things are new. Then why should that thing be there? Yes. Here's what qualifies you for redemption. If you could go back and do something over now that you know what you know you would, but here's the dilemma you can't, but you can change. And when you change, you'll never be judged for what you were. You'll be judged for what you've become. God will never see you for your past. He'll see you for your present. And thanks to come Too many good-hearted people made bad mistakes, made one vital sexual mistake and that thing bit him and marked them for life and put something in their blood like an STD that's incurable. And now they get married and have to jump that hurdle for the rest of their life because they made a mistake when they were 17 and were sure they were in love and thought they were gonna get married anyway. And, or they were just insecure and felt lonely and just needed to be with someone. And then they got born again. Or they got repentant and said, man, that is not the answer. Jesus. You're all I want. And I wanna save myself for covenant. Why should the STD from when you were 17 track with you for the rest of your life and keep reminding you of the day you were, I think we ought to get aggressive and say that stuff needs to come out. If you were going through a dark season and you were cutting yourself, cuz you just were numb and you lost sight of your value and you were in this dark season and you were just cutting yourself. Why should those scars have to stay on your life? The rest of your life. If you see now and you see your value now, oh I I'm sure you could turn it into a testimony, but what would touch your life? Greater. Turning that into a testimony. You're looking down and seeing they're not there. I've seen a whole lot of this stuff in my life because I preach it. Not cuz I'm gifted.

Speaker 3: 1:37:02

Amen.

Speaker 2: 1:37:04

Cause I preach it. I've seen young ladies stand in an order that were covered with burns and scars and would wear long sleeves cuz they didn't want people to keep asking what happened to them. And then they roll up their sleeves and scream and shake and cry because Jesus puts new skin on their body. Yeah. So I'm either a sicko and I'm making that up for some temporal applause. I'm telling you the truth. It's one or the other. So maybe tonight we ought to go for some redemption, huh? Maybe tonight we ought to be like really seriously humble in front of one another and acknowledge if we have a situation like that and ask the people around us to believe that God redeems it completely. Yes, because here's the deal. We're all in the same boat. We've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Some of us sinned and deserve a mark and never got one. Some of us messed up one time in an arena and got bit for life. Some of us send way more in an area than others and got away with it. It seems like in the long run now we're forgiven and yay and we're on and we're smarter, but we never came out with mark and other people got hammered and marked in that place. It's not fair. There's no mercy out there. I was in a service like this one day, way back when I first started preaching this, I tell the story all the time. Cuz it's one that moves me so much. It's very emotional. It was a low fifties aged lady. She's in the middle and we're praying. And I told everybody it's none of my business. What's in you. What you got? I don't need to know. I just need to know you're free. So we're praying. Boom, boom, boom. I even told him that night. I said, I don't need no catchers. I don't need nothing. It ain't, they ain't fallen that thing's coming out. Just, just leave me alone with Jesus. We'll be fine. I get to this lady and she grabs my arm and cries and looks at me in the eyes. And she says,

Speaker 4: 1:39:09

I'm not that kind of girl. I'm not that kind of girl. That kinda girl.

Speaker 2: 1:39:16

And it just ripped my heart. I'm looking at this sweet lady crying, saying this, you know what she's saying? And I said, honey, stop sh I don't need to know. I'm just gonna praise it. No, no, no. You're she leads up and tells the whole story in my ear. She's married for 30 years to the same man turns out that it was the only man in her whole life. She ever knew sexually her husband. That's a rare testimony, never committed a sexual sin in her

Speaker 3: 1:39:46

Life.

Speaker 2: 1:39:49

But guess what? 30 years into the marriage, it gets his eyes on a 35 year old. For some reason she's attracted to the 52 year old and they take off together, him and his new model. And guess what? She does breaks and fall apart and feels like she's not a woman anymore. I lost my attractiveness. I don't have it. I'm old, abandoned, alone, 30 years. He's going this guy short wave rolls into her life and starts encouraging her and telling her things she's so needs to hear. And in no time

Speaker 3: 1:40:34

She

Speaker 2: 1:40:34

Cross in bed with him while she's in bed, it hits her. She said, I pushed him off and said, no,

Speaker 4: 1:40:48

No, this is wrong.

Speaker 2: 1:40:51

She's crying. Telling me the whole, whole story about, she said, I grabbed my things and I ran. Can you imagine the torment of that night for her? Can you imagine the torment in the morning? Can you imagine what's going through her for the next weeks now we got a problem. Symptoms start breaking out in her body. She's like, what is this? What is this? This is weird. She goes to her family, doctor, lifelong family doctor. He does these tests. He sits her down and says, honey, we need to talk. What's going on with you? Like what's happening in your life. She tells him the whole story. He said, you have an incurable S T D that's in your nervous system. It will deplete some major organs. And it will cost you years on your life. One sexual sin in her whole life in a moment of deception and vulnerability. And that thing bitter for keeps cuz there's no mercy in that arena. But guess where there is mercy religion says, well brother, she should know better. She needs to get a grip on her emotions. You don't go compromising the truth. Cuz your husband left you. You should never crawled in bed with that, man. You reap what you sew brother, but you don't even know God

Speaker 3: 1:42:30

Trying

Speaker 2: 1:42:30

To talk about him. Tragedy. I looked at her with so much passion and I said, I said, stop. You've told me plenty. Just stop. She's looking down at the carpet now cuz she's confessed. And she feels ashamed cuz she's relating to what she did. And I said, no, no. You need to look at me. And she's looking down. I tipped her chin and made her look me right in the eyes. And she's struggling to hold that look. I said, no, no. Look at me. She took me right in eyes. I said, that's coming outta you. Do you hear me? And I said in there, ain't nothing. Nobody can do about it. Well that's sour again brother. That's relationship. You call it whatever you want. But you just don't understand. You're just quick to speak.

Speaker 3: 1:43:20

We do

Speaker 2: 1:43:21

Understand. Amen.<laugh> I know you do. So I prayed and said something simple, like come outta her and don't you ever touch her again? No fire, no lightning. She didn't shake. She didn't tremble. No ushers just went down then and just prayed for the rest of the people. Six weeks later, I went back to their church cause I was helping out cuz they didn't have a pastor. She came running to me. She's lit up and bouncy she's pastor, pastor. Guess what? I said, what

Speaker 3: 1:44:00

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:44:03

She said, they've done several tests in a row and there's no trace of it in my blood. So I'm a teacher, right? You figured that out. I'm a teacher. So I didn't celebrate. I didn't clap it wasn't cuz I'm not honoring God. He knows he's leads me to do stuff all the time. And most of the time, I don't even know until it's over. And I go, that was cool. But I looked at her real calm and I said it wasn't arrogance. I said, of course it's gone. I said, do you know why? She said yes because he's so loving and he's so merciful. God is so kind. And I laughed and said, yes, he's all those things. But all those things, he is needs a place to land in your life. So let me tell you why that's not in your blood. She looked at me puzzled. Like I already told you why I tipped her chin. And I said, cuz you're not that kind of girl fail.

Speaker 3: 1:45:16

<laugh> woo.

Speaker 2: 1:45:21

Is that a good gospel or what

Speaker 3: 1:45:24

Was

Speaker 2: 1:45:25

She? That kind of girl. Absolutely not. You think just because you did something, that's who you are. She is tore up over it. She needs a better plan called redemption and restoration and dication and total healing. So what do you say we believe for that kind of move in the room tonight? What do you say that we believe that whether you've hurt your memory through a binge long term abuse, you don't concentrate. You don't sleep well. You just don't have the function. Like you used to emotionally that God would make that completely new tonight. What do you say that if you've got something in your blood, that's not from the beginning, that's a product of where you've been and what you've done, whether it be a hepatitis, an HIV, an TD, something in your blood that we believe God would just completely cleanse your blood tonight through his blood. Would you want to do that? Yes. What about if you've cut yourself and marked yourself and scarred yourself that you would be honest and humble and say, I went through a dark season and I've done some things to my body. I wanna believe God would take that away. You wanna believe that? He'll do that. What do you say? Do you think he might?

Speaker 3: 1:46:51

Yeah.<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:46:52

I know he will.

Speaker 3: 1:46:54

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:46:56

So what do you say we do that tonight? I've never done it this way. So this is a, this is new for me. So I'm gonna step out in faith and do what I felt like I perceived when I was sitting over there, I usually have an order call and I pray over everybody cuz I like to cuz I know I have faith for redemption cuz I've seen redemption countless times. I saw a lady, a young lady who took a razor blade, 10 times down the fronts of her thighs and spaced it. It looked like she used a ruler. She had 10 down this one and 10 down. This one right in the front three inches long, raised up purple because of cut over top of cut over top of cut. Now she's born again. And she looks at her legs and wish she didn't mark her one time God-given legs. And she's weeping about what she did, but she did it, but she's changed. And as we prayed for her, all 20 of those raised elevated three inch scars, completely vanished as we pray. Well, I don't believe that Dan. I understand UN belief. So real problem in the body of Christ, it really is. But it happened in that same order call. There was a boy standing who had a purple railroad track carved into his forearm. Purple. It looked like a tattoo, but it was a scar. God healed his mind. And as he was being prophesied over the railroad track disappeared in front of our eyes as mom, hyperventilated, screamed and almost passed out.

Speaker 3: 1:48:45

<laugh>

Speaker 2: 1:48:53

Where you say, we believe God for redemption. Yes. If you marked your body, we're we're gonna do this together. So stay with me and, and stay in order. It's a lot of us, but I'm on a mic so we can do this. I've never done it this way. So be patient with me. I'm walking this out in faith too. Not the redemption part. The way it looks part. If you need redemption in your life and you've marked your life in some way through wrong living, mistakes, being somewhere, you shouldn't or doing something you wish you didn't. But in your heart, you're saying, man, if I knew now, then what I know now I wouldn't have been there. Then I've changed. But nonetheless, I'm still carrying the remembrance of that in my body. Whether it's my flesh, my blood are you following me? I need you to stand. And only you stand to your feet. If you have something you're carrying from your past, in your present, stand to your feet and be humble. It's not about what you've done and where you've been. Everybody in this room has sinned and fallen. Sure. Of the glory of God. I've done things in my past that deserve a mark. I just never got one. My son, he says, dad, I should have got a mark over again and over again a hundred times and never somehow got a mark. I know some people that hardly did much at all and got a mark. So whether you did much or did a little, if you have a mark from yesterday and you're saying, I wish I didn't do what I did. I just wish I didn't go where I went, but I can't change that. And regret would eat me alive. So I'm gonna stand before God and believe he loves me, redeems me and forgives me. And I'm gonna believe that total redemption comes to my spirit, soul and body blameless till he comes. Are you willing to do that tonight? Come on. I need some more people to stand. I know it in my heart. Stand to your feet real quick. Don't be ashamed. Stand to your feet. I need some people you're holding out. You didn't stand yet. Come on. It's a bunch of you. I saw it in my heart. Good. Thank you. You're standing. I probably 25 people stood since I said that. Just so you know, cuz I can see everybody. Anybody else need to stand? Come on. I wouldn't wait if I didn't believe this was real and I didn't believe you were still sitting and don't want you involved. I got plenty of people to pray for. We got enough standing, but I want everybody stand to your feet. If that's you don't sit down and don't think I wonder what people will say. I wonder what the guy beside me, my family member will say, come on. Why are you living in a closet in the dark anyway, let's just get this thing out here. Let's just get in the light and let's go through it and let Jesus redeem it. Right? I'm gonna have you stay standing here and then I'm gonna have you raise your hand here in a second. And the people that are around you, I wanna make sure that everyone has at least one person with them. Don't gang pile up on somebody until everybody's covered. Okay? Like don't 10 of you surround somebody just cuz they're close. Make sure everybody gets covered before we tag team. You get it. If you want to, when they get to you, if you want to tell'em what it is that you stood for and you don't mind telling them because you feel like it's a contact point of faith and they can pray specifically. If that's where your faith is, that's totally acceptable. But listen, people that are praying, if they just say, just pray for me and they don't want to talk about it. That's okay. It really is. Okay. It's none of our business what's going on there. Okay? Yes. Ma'am

Speaker 7: 1:52:24

Like emotional

Speaker 2: 1:52:27

Stand up. She just ask of emotions. If her emotions are sometimes that's connected to wrong believing. So you don't always need prayer. You need truth in your life. But I feel like it would be good for you to stand. Okay? Somebody's gonna stand with you. It's gonna be a really good night for you. Yeah. Cause look at me, honey. Jesus loves you. He will never ever see you for anything that you've done. And he doesn't see you for anything done to you and you gotta be very careful. You don't see yourself for what was done to you and what you've done, but you see what was done for you through him. And that's what separates you tonight. You're gonna receive a grace to live sanctified. Amen. You really are. I see it in my heart. Yeah. I feel like the piece of that's already coming on you right now. It's really good. If you have scars, if you've cut yourself and you want to tell the person, listen, I just want you to pray if they're in a disclosed place and you can't see'em that's fine. You don't have to show'em to anybody. If you want to tell,'em just tell'em if it's hepatitis tell'em, if you want to, if it's STD tell'em, if you want to, uh, sometimes that's healthy for you to just say, you know what? I made a lot of mistakes in my life and yeah, I'm carrying an STD man. And I don't wanna take that the rest of my life and into my marriage and God know, God loves me and forgives me. So do you all follow what we're doing? Yes. So before we pray, I need you all that understand and just look at me real quick here. Just look at me and, and answer this one question in your heart, knowing the person you are now and the revelation you've walk in and you've grown in and the way you've come to know God at whatever level that is. If you could go back and do things over concerning yesterday, would it look different now that you know what you know now? Absolutely would it absolutely. That's a passionate. Absolutely. With tears. I like it. So here's what I need you to do too. So do you believe God loves you? Yes. Do you believe he forgives you of everything you've ever done? Yes. Then I believe we ought to be redeemed, huh? Yes. So raise your hand real high. Just one hand. Listen, we're not praying. I'm not praying for you. I just want people to know who you are. There's a lot of you standing people sitting go run to him real quick. Don't pray yet. Don't pray yet. Just go grab.'em say, Hey, you're mine. As soon as they grab you, put your hand down. As soon as you get claimed, put your hand down, put your hand down. If they get you. I only want your hand up. If nobody found you yet, man, there's a lot of guys in the upper room back there, man. Somebody makes sure they go get'em look at that. Them guys are in heavenly places. Man. Go get'em. Keep your hands up back there guys. Somebody's coming. Keep your hand up until somebody gets you. If you're on the floor. Don't tag team. I don't want three on one. When we still have hands raised. I want one on one until everybody's covered. Don't only have your hand up if you don't have anybody. Okay. I got a guy right here. Can somebody find their way to him? You got him. Good. Good. How about the girl behind you or she? Yeah, we can get her hand down. If she's claimed. There's a guy back there in, in a pink like shirt. I think it's pink. That's a secure man. That's awesome, dude. You look good in pink, man. You got him. Is there anybody? That's not accounted for that? We don't have go like this please. It's a very large room. We got everybody in the next two seconds. Three seconds. Either tell'em what you're believing for. Or just say I don't need to share. Just believe for me. I'm believing for redemption. If you wanna tell,'em tell'em one's not right. One's not wrong. Just tell'em sometimes it's good because it releases faith in each other. Okay. You ready? Does everybody know what they're praying or that or, or that, that needs to know? No. And does everybody ready to pray? Are you ready now? Listen. Careful. Listen. Careful when you pray, I just want you to speak redemption over them. That God makes all things new. If they told you what it was, let's just say it's an STD STD. You come outta their blood herpes. You leave HPV. You come outta them and you never touch them again. Father, thank you for loving them for giving them and washing them clean. Right? Simple, direct prayer. It shouldn't take, it should be under 10 seconds. If you were a cutter and you told people I was a cutter, you pray for everything to disappear right now. Okay? Okay. If you didn't tell'em you were a cutter, believe it's gonna go. All right. Are you ready? Pray for'em right now. Redemption in Jesus name. Completely clean in this room. Yeah. Clean blood. Yeah. HIV leave hepatitis go STDs. Leave every scar. Every mark from that season go suicidal scars go Jesus. Name minds. Be restored emotions. Be restored memory. Be restored. Amen. Start thanking God. Right now. If you're being prayed for it, thank God that he loves you. Start thanking God that he forgives you. A lot of you are gonna need to get a test done to see your blood and check your blood.

If you can, without giving it without getting improper. Check your check yourself.

You can't check for hepatitis right now. Probably. Or you can't check for HIV, but a cutter. You can check suicidal scars. I've seen, I don't know how many people they had their whole wrist lacerated from a drunken, binge carving themself. And Jesus took that all away. Is there anybody else? You were a cutter and you're checking and your scars are going. Is there anybody that didn't acknowledge that and you need to it's good. It gets everybody excited and happy. Yeah. You, yeah.
