Spiritual Construction – Building On The Apostles Teaching
[00:00:00] Well, I’d like to welcome everybody here this morning, and if you’ve tuned in, I wanna try to get some of these messages out before I have my operation waiting on a phone call. let’s start out where we left off last week. We’re gonna start out in one Timothy chapter six, five through 12.
[00:00:22] These are some things that we learned last week. We’ve been studying about the fallen stars, the untimely figs, things that are gonna be coming to this earth. Listen to what I just said, things that are going to be coming to this earth. Whether they are things from Heaven or things from hell, they are definitely coming in this place.
[00:00:43] And we want to know where we are spiritually in the church because we already know that the world’s lost. There’s no hope for the world without Jesus Christ. There’s no hope. So what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna come back to the hope that is in Jesus Christ. We’re gonna go back to the 12 disciples and we’re gonna read the things that they wrote down.
[00:01:06] And we’re also gonna be reading the words of the Apostle Paul today. And we’re gonna be reading the words of Jesus Christ This is where we’re at. the, chief cornerstone. Cornerstone, I know about you, but when you build a house, you just don’t have one cornerstone on one corner.
[00:01:22] You got one on all four corners. Okay. I think that we can all testify that we’ve seen a house that’s had a really good, foundation on cornerstones on three. But if you see in an older house, and there was one corner that didn’t have a good setting, a good foundation, and you could just see that the house is all jolapadated and it just kinda like, wow, they really missed it on that one.
[00:01:47] that is not how the house of God is built. Okay. No difference between that. The ark of the covenant had four corners and the table of showbread had four corners. And the [00:02:00] temple on the temple Mount had four corners, okay?
[00:02:02] That Jesus Christ is on all four corners. And this foundation is, surely set and the foundation built upon them four corners is the apostles. Okay, so we’re gonna go back to the, cornerstone. We’re gonna go back to the foundation. We’re gonna go back to the framing and we’re gonna see how we are fitley framed together.
[00:02:24] ’cause we need to understand that the Lord is not starting to build the house, okay? he’s doing the finish work on the house and no different that we have an understanding about how a foundation is poured and how a house is reared up, if you wanna say. And the construction that takes place, that when you get on the inside and you begin to do the finish work, the trim work on the inside and that you are getting closer and closer.
[00:02:57] To move into your house. And this is where we are with the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, he’s getting ready to come and abode within his house and he’s doing the finish work. And we need to prepare our hearts for that. So as we’re looking at the church and we’re looking at the things, how he is preparing, there’s some other builders and some carpenters that came in and tried to redesign what Jesus Christ intended it for it to be okay.
[00:03:23] And we have to be careful. So let’s go back to first Timothy chapter six, verse five. And I’ll try to go through this pretty quick so we can get through the rest of the message. And it says, perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds. This is exactly what we’re talking about. We’re talking about, this letter was written to Timothy from the Apostle Paul.
[00:03:43] From the Apostle Paul and to give him direction. And we have intercepted this letter and it has been like 2000 years and this letter has been intercepted. And now we can read the teachings to the Apostle Paul, how he spiritually directed Timothy as a pastor, [00:04:00] how to lead the church, the congregation, if you would.
[00:04:03] So, and he says these are those that are in the church that have corrupt minds. So we see that it is possible that you can be in church, confess Jesus, and we’re gonna learn that today. You can have a taste of all these things and still have a corrupt mind. And it says, supposing that gain is godliness.
[00:04:23] See, this is where we have the problem with the prosperity gospel. The prosperity gospel is they’re saying that gain, gain is godliness gain is the evidence that. God is with you. Christ is with you. The Holy Spirit is with you. And when you see all these material things, and we can call money material things because it’s in our hand and it possesses or buys those things that we desire.
[00:04:48] So if you can see that God is in the money or God is in the possession, then that’s called a blessing. And we can’t see a blessing any other way. We have to be able to divide it out from the gold of this Earth that is valuable. And the reason why it is valuable, because God said it was, and if he would’ve made coal valuable, then that would’ve been valuable.
[00:05:12] But God is the one who put the value on gold. Obviously silver comes second. The reason why it’s second is ’cause God says it comes second. It’s no different. That is an earthly thing. But in Revelations, Jesus says.
[00:05:30] I ask you to come and to buy gold from me. Or is this gold found? what’s he talking about? is he talking about an earthly gold or is he talking about a heavenly gold? Is he talking about earthly treasures? Is he talking about heavenly treasures? And this is where we’re dividing these things up in scripture and they’re spiritual.
[00:05:51] Okay, so next please. But godliness with contentment is great game. This is exactly what we talked [00:06:00] about last week. Next, please, for, we brought nothing into this world. And it is certain, 100% certain we’re not gonna take anything out. So like when he uses the word certain, and you could use the word guaranteed, it’s guaranteed.
[00:06:18] Nobody is taking anything with them. When you die, next, please. It says having food. And Raiment, let us be content. Therefore, I talked about last week, and this is the table that we have been invited to, and that we dine with him and we sup with him and we eat from his table and we eat the meals that he has prepared for us and we eat all of it.
[00:06:44] And we can look at this table, we can look at this plate that has been prepared for us. And that it’s no different from being a kid and you just can’t go do the dessert at the end. And that’s kind of like what all these fancy preachers and prosperity preachers are doing.
[00:07:00] They’re just going right to the dessert, but they’re not eating their vegetables and the things that are good for you. Okay.you just can’t, be sustained on meat only. Okay. That you have to have a variety of even fatness in your diet. you have to have your vegetables and your vitamins to be able to be healthy all the way around.
[00:07:19] Okay? So this is what we’re doing is we’re looking at the table and the Lord is the one who has prepared, he has prepared it for us. And we sit and we eat and we’re partake and we dine with him. Now, Once you have sat at his table, that you can be called out to be a server and I don’t make the food.
[00:07:48] I set the food before you. And we have to understand who is the chef and these preachers, they’re making their selves. The [00:08:00] chef, they’re making themselves, the designer they’re making and conforming what they want, and this is where they’re going to be rejected. Okay. This is the separation
[00:08:16] But they, that will be rich. Fall into temptation. we’re trying to associate what the falling is. So you can, apply this fall to, the Apostle Paul says, I run the race. Okay, but he has not finished the race and your life is the finish line.
[00:08:33] Okay? The end of your life, every one of us has a race. And you could make it to where you trip and you fall and you need some encouragement to get back up and to continue the race until the end of your life. And you could use that so we can understand what a fall is. And we can also apply the same word fall as the stars from heaven.
[00:08:56] They have fallen from heaven, okay? And it says, and they that be rich shall fall to temptation. So these stars, they fell and the temptation was the. Earthly thing, okay? And it says, and a snare, verse 10 says, and for the love of money, we talked about this last week. And it, yes, it is the love of money, the desire for money, because that is the thing that buys the substance.
[00:09:29] Okay? Next, please. In verse 11, it says, but thou old man of God. See, he’s calling Timothy a man of God. He didn’t say, oh, sinner. He didn’t say, oh, I’m believer. He didn’t say that. He said, oh man of God, Timothy, flee these things and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and meekness.
[00:09:52] And we directed all six of those things in direction. ’cause that’s why he said, follow [00:10:00] direct your attention to these six things. And they all pertain to Jesus Christ himself. Okay. That we might be in love with Jesus. That we might be patient with Jesus. Okay? And that we might humble ourselves to Jesus.
[00:10:15] Okay. Next please. Now we’re gonna go into the book of Hebrews. The apostle Paul wrote the book of Hebrews. Okay. I know that some people might argue, so that’s fine. So we can say that it is definitely holy scripture and we can read from this and say, God hath said, that’s why it’s in the Book of the Cannon, one of the 66 books.
[00:10:36] Okay, now it says, and of the doctrine of baptisms and of laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead and of eternal judgment. Next, please. And it says, and this will, we do see that whole big list in there. He said, this, will we do? So you can just take that right there in that confidence level and say, we’re gonna do this in the name of Jesus.
[00:11:02] We have spoken it, we have proclaimed it, we have declared it, and this will, we do this whole entire list, but we’re not finishing the sentence. Okay? It says, if God permit, see, God’s still in control. It is 100% up to God. And what’s wrong with putting God in his place? What’s wrong with putting God on the throne and saying, Lord, you have control of every single thing and you know what you are doing and I’m going to trust what you are doing.
[00:11:46] That’s. Taking it out of your hands and giving it unto God. Okay, next please. Now, this is a really tough couple verses we’re gonna be [00:12:00] breaking down, okay? Because the Apostle Paul is speaking to the church, okay? And if God permit, we will do these things. He begins to say in verse four, for it is impossible for those who were once enlightened.
[00:12:17] Now, we’re just gonna leave out the word once, just for now, because that is bringing our attention to one. One. There’s not two, there’s not three, there’s not four. He’s talking about one. And when you are enlightened, that is a time of your life that your eyes have been opened. Okay? The illumination.
[00:12:41] Okay? The eyes were opened, they were darkened, and light comes in, and now that you are able to see in a dark world, okay? It says it is impossible for those who were enlightened. Here we go. The word impossible means exactly. You can translate this word and you can’t get possible. It says impossible. Okay?
[00:13:04] It is not possible. Okay? It is not possible for those who were enlightened and had tasted of the heavenly gift. we’re getting an understanding from the Apostle Paul that you can taste. Of the heavenly gift. Okay? Now we need to understand what is that heavenly gift. Now all you Pentecostals out there are gonna go, that’s the Holy Ghost right there, and I’m gonna stop you right there.
[00:13:31] And we’re gonna go toJohn chapter four, verse nine and 10. Okay? And this is what Jesus said. See, it doesn’t matter what Kenneth Copeland said. It doesn’t matter what Perry Stone said. It doesn’t matter what all these prophets say, okay? Whether they be good prophets or bad prophets, because you don’t know.
[00:13:48] You gotta make sure that they line up with those that spoke before they came. All right? So we’re gonna go to Jesus’s words and he says, then sayeth the woman of Samaria unto him, [00:14:00] how is it that thou being a Jew, Ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria for the Jews, have no dealings with the Samaritans now.
[00:14:11] What we’re gonna do is we’re gonna say, she’s a Gentile. And you might go, well, no she isn’t. She’s a half Jew. Well, that’s not what she confessed outta her mouth because she said, I’m not a Jew. She made herself separate from being a Jew, so therefore she’s a gentile. So this is where I was explaining that when Jesus Christ came to his own, he still ministered to Gentiles.
[00:14:35] Okay, now let’s hear what he spoke to the woman at the well. He said in verse 10, Jesus answered and said unto her, if thou newest, the gift of God. Hmm. Now who’s the gift? It’s Jesus Christ, isn’t it? He just said, you are like, How are you certain that it is the gift? Let’s continue to read what
[00:14:56] Jesus said. He said, who it is. Hmm. Jesus Christ is the gift that came from God. Okay, now let’s go back. and we can read and it says, and had tasted of the heavenly gift. Therefore, you have tasted of Jesus and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost.
[00:15:19] See how simple that was? See, Jesus was the gift, and that wasn’t the Holy Ghost because he just made the Holy Ghost. Second. Okay, now we can see it in this order. You come to Jesus, you are filled with the Holy Ghost, and let’s read the next verse five, and it says,
[00:15:37] And have tasted of the good word of God, tasted of the good word. So you can be enlightened, you can taste Jesus, you can taste the Holy Ghost, you can taste the good word. And it says, and the powers of the world to come. Wait a minute, you’re telling me that you can have a taste of what we are going to [00:16:00] be doing after this earth is done away with and after the judgment seat of Christ.
[00:16:07] and after we go into this new world that we are going to be actually, ruling and reigning with Christ as a queen, not a king, but as a queen, because we are a woman married unto him and we will rule and reign with him. We can find all kinds of examples like this read about Joseph.
[00:16:30] Okay. and how he was all wise and how he led the Pharaoh at that time. when he had all the answers and went through the seven year famine and when he did all these things and when they came through that Pharaoh even told Joseph and said, out of all the dominion will I give you of my whole kingdom, and you have the word second in command, you have rule of everything, only not the throne.
[00:17:00] We can see these examples given to us that we might understand that Christ is going to give us the authority to rule and to reign in the world to come, but not the throne. We will be with him. Okay, now it says, and taste the powers of the world to come. So let’s bring our attention, To today. All right, let’s bring it up.
[00:17:29] 2000 years to 2026. Let’s look at where the church is today. Let’s just look at it and let’s just see where your spiritual rulers are. Okay? Your big time preachers, look at the people that they rule over. Look at the direction that they cause them to go look at their authority when there’s never been a faith office in the White House ever [00:18:00] before.
[00:18:00] And now they are with the President of the United States of America, and they are spiritually guiding the direction of this nation. That’s a lot of authority, isn’t it? That’s power. Now they’ve taken it to the earth and see how far that they have taken these powers to an earthly thing and believing that the kingdom of God is here upon this earth.
[00:18:33] That’s a taste. See where we are before the coming of a Lord Jesus Christ. We have tasted of the heavenly gift. We have tasted of the Holy Ghost. We have tasted of the word and the powers of the world to come. This is what he says in verse six, if they shall fall away. See, it is possible that you can taste of every single one of these things that the Apostle Paul said and fall to renew them again unto repentance Now.
[00:19:10] This is where it’s kind of hard to distinguish because if we’re gonna make this somebody that has tasted of Jesus and been filled with the Holy Ghost and, you have read the good word of God and you understand it, and maybe you do have authority and spiritual authority, in your church and in your leadership and whatever it may be, that if you as a fall away from that, you can’t come back to Jesus, well then there ain’t no hope for any of us.
[00:19:40] I mean, I’ve fallen before. I mean, I’ve fallen all the way outta heaven and fell right to this earth and should have just went all the way through it and straight to hell. But the Lord had mercy upon me. And this is where we need to find ourselves, that this is the mercy of the Lord that you can be renewed.
[00:19:59] [00:20:00] And I have been renewed, and this is what I’m saying if you stay. In that state, listen of that authority and that tasting it and tasting the world to come. And if you stay there in that haughty place, now listen to me. It says to renew him again and to repentance. If you stay in that state, it is impossible for you to repent because you do not understand that you are wrong.
[00:20:36] You are confident in the place that you are at spiritually, and you will not acknowledge that you are wrong and you have to come to a place of repentance to be renewed. This is a scary place to be. This is where, I talked about last week when. When you need to get yourself alone and say, you know, maybe I’m wrong.
[00:21:05] And it’s not sin to say that, but you gotta go back. You gotta go back to truth. You gotta go back to Jesus. You gotta go back to the foundation, you gotta go back. It doesn’t mean that you’re gonna, tear all the walls down and tear the whole church down. so many messages even today that the Lord is doing a new thing.
[00:21:23] he’s rebuilding the church. What? That doesn’t even make sense. There’s no prophecy. There’s no prophecy in the Old Testament or in the new that the Lord was going to build a house and tear it down and rebuild it again. See, he know I did that. there was a physical temple and it was tore down and now he’s made it spiritual.
[00:21:45] And now you’re saying he’s building a spiritual house and he’s gonna tear down that spiritual house and he’s gonna redo it. And that’s, that’s not even in prophecy. It’s not in any of the teachings. That’s why it’s a doctrine of the devil. It’s teachings of men. [00:22:00] Jesus is finishing the work in the house and he’s getting ready to move into his house and we want to be ready for him.
[00:22:08] Okay? It says if they fall away to renew them again and to repentance. Okay. Seeing they crucify to themselves the son of God afresh and put him to an open shame.
[00:22:25] Next please.
[00:22:29] Now this is where the apostle Paul, sometimes it can be so simple. You can get deep. Okay, but it’s still simple. Alright? we’re gonna look with our heavenly eyes and we’re not gonna look with our earthly eyes. Now we’re gonna be able to understand the heavenly by looking at the earthly, okay?
[00:22:50] And I’ll show you some parables that Jesus spoke. Okay? Now we’re gonna go into, Hebrews. Verse seven. Now this is where the Apostle Paul, we’re still on the same subject 100% about those that have taste of the heavenly gift.
[00:23:05] Okay? That it’s impossible for them to repent. Now listen to come back to the Lord if they’re gonna stay in that state, Stay in that state, and he’s gonna finish it up. And he says, for the earth, with drink of in the rain, that come often in it. Okay? Now the Apostle Paul is using the earth, okay?
[00:23:27] As an example. And that the rain that comes from the sky and it brings nourishment, okay? To the plants. He’s using this that we might understand, this that comes from heaven, okay? And it goes into the soil. Okay? Now he’s not talking about a literal wheat field or a literal corn field, or a literal, you know, vineyard or, you know, a vineyard of olives or apples and pears and peaches and whatever.
[00:23:58] Okay? He’s [00:24:00] referring to a man’s heart, okay? but he’s using the example, He’s using Jesus’s words and he says, the earth, which drink within the rain, that cometh often upon it bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed. Okay? So let’s look at an owner that owns, well, let’s say a weed field, okay?
[00:24:25] And the rain comes on. And the owner of the field sends his laborers out to harvest and the owner of the field. Okay, what does he receive at the end of the harvest and the prepping? And the preparing? what’s the owner to get at the very end? He gets flour and obviously he’s eating bread at the end.
[00:24:52] Okay? Now, as we look at this, it says, and bring it forth herbs, meat for him by whom it is dressed. Now let’s just change this over and make God the owner and make it his field, okay? And he blesses, okay? He blesses those that receive the word and it bringeth forth fruit unto him or crop unto him. Wheat.
[00:25:22] Grain unto him, and it’s all to God. And it says, meet for them who it was dressed. Receiveth blessing from God. Okay, now can you see where that He just made that rain come from heaven? That’s the blessing. That’s the blessing that comes to earth and it nourishes.
[00:25:43] Okay, now, next please, verse eight. Now let’s look at the same field. Okay? And let’s look at the same field, and we’re gonna make it earthly that we might understand the heavenly, he says, but that which [00:26:00] beareth thorns and Breyers is rejected.this is exactly what Jesus Christ was talking about.
[00:26:08] When there was a weed field, remember? And the seed was sowed. and Lord, who sowed these weeds, this is the teaching that Jesus Christ was teaching. Now we’re looking at the apostle Paul pointing his attention to those briars and thorns, And weeds.
[00:26:30] Okay? Those that are growing now listen, those that are growing up in the kingdom, now, let me put it like this. those who have tasted, those who have received, those who have tasted of the world to come, and the good word of God and the Holy Ghost and Jesus Christ himself, okay? He says, Breyers and thorns.
[00:26:52] So let’s go to Jesus’ teachings. ’cause this is exactly what Jesus said. And let’s go to Jesus’ words, okay? And then we’ll come back to the Apostle Paul and it says, and he said unto them, no, you not this parable. This is what Jesus said. he tells the parable and the disciples get with Jesus.
[00:27:09] and they’re asking, Jesus, Jesus, what did this parable even mean? And he said unto them, knowing not this parable, How then will you know all parables. This is what Jesus is asking. The 12 disciples, you don’t understand this parable. Then how are you gonna understand all the parables?
[00:27:31] Now you could read it like this. If you can understand this parable,you’re going to be able to understand all the parables. This is what Jesus is saying. Please. Verse 14. Mark chapter four, verse 14. This is the explanation. This is the revelation. [00:28:00] This is the revealing of truth. Okay?
[00:28:04] The sowers sow, if the word, now we know by studying that Jesus Christ was the word and the word was made flesh, and he walked among us. Okay? Jesus Christ is the word. You’re not the word. You’re not the seed. Jesus Christ is the seed. You can’t make it any more plainer than this. Let’s look at Jesus Christ being the seed and the sower.
[00:28:30] Sow with the word. Next please. Verse 15.
[00:28:37] And these are they. Now I really want you to pay attention ’cause I underlined that I want you to. Pay attention ’cause we’re going to start separating. Okay? We have to separate. He says these are they by the wayside? Okay? These are they. That’s people. He just made the wayside, the ground. Listen, the ground people, these are they where the word is sown.
[00:29:04] That is Jesus Christ being sowed into the ground or in a man’s heart it says, but when they have heard, see the wayside or the ground, are the people, it says, but when they have heard Satan cometh immediately to take away the word that was sown in their hearts. See, I’m not lying to you. It’s right there.
[00:29:30] Now, this is no different from, you know, if you know anything about planting fields, you pay money and you throw the seed out there You wonder how many of the birds is gonna come and eat it. You know, I’m a Turkey hunter and I plant food plots
[00:29:43] And the first thing that I begin to start worrying about is I got a whole lot of turkeys when I’m planting wheat. And I’m afraid that the turkeys are gonna come out and eat all my seed before it rains and it begins to sprout. And that’s on my mind when we don’t get rain for a couple weeks. Okay? [00:30:00] This is the same, understanding that we can have that this seed that is sewn upon the earth and is laying there, that Satan is like that bird that comes and catches away that seed, okay?
[00:30:14] That it doesn’t even penetrate into the heart.
[00:30:20] Verse 16. And these are, they see it. It doesn’t change. The ground is always the man’s heart. It says, and these are they likewise, which are sown on stony ground hard hearts. Here we go. Who? When they have heard the word, here we go, immediately received it with gladness so you can taste. Listen, they heard the word and it was received.
[00:30:53] They tasted of the gift they tasted of the Holy Ghost. They have tasted of the good word, and it says, immediately received with gladness. Next, please, verse 17. And have no root in themselves and so endure, but for a time. And what does that mean? No root within yourself. See, there’s no understanding.
[00:31:16] Listen, there’s no foundation, there’s no sure word of foundation.Jesus said, those that build a house upon sand and those that build upon solid rock, you know, you could understand that one’s not steady. And the other one is, so, we can look at this right here and we can go roots.
[00:31:34] you can read that we are like a willow planted next to a river whose roots go down into the stream, a storm comes and the floods come. And whenit recedes, that willow tree is still in place because of the root system.
[00:31:52] This is the same type of understanding it says, and so endure for a time. they had some root, but it didn’t go deep. [00:32:00] And afterward, when affliction, oh, here we go. When affliction or persecution comes, okay, option word is a tribulation, an option word for affliction is tribulation.
[00:32:14] That a shaking can come to your life. And then you would say, I thought God was real. I thought Jesus loved me, and all these bad things were happening to me. And I don’t know. And I just, I don’t understand why if he loved me that he would heal me or he would, bless me financially or, or he would fix this situation in my life.
[00:32:34] And all these things are called tribulation.
[00:32:40] You know, when a tornado comes to a town and it lands and hits the ground. And there’s not a house left. And we can see even in the United States of America, I’m not in the world anywhere else. I’m just using the states. ’cause this is where we’re at, that we can actually, see an understanding that that tornado, it doesn’t matter if you’re a sinner or a Christian, a believer or unbeliever, it doesn’t matter, does it?
[00:33:06] See, you can receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior and taste of the good gift, and you can lose your house and tribulation come, I’m not gonna serve that God, that could cause you to walk away. Maybe you receive the Lord Jesus Christ and maybe your loved one dies the next week or the next month, whether it be an accident or of some type of disease or something bad, a mishap, an accident.
[00:33:40] And you wonder. God don’t care. He doesn’t love. And that’s, that’s not true.
[00:33:51] Have you ever found yourself going, Lord, I’m like this stony ground. I did [00:34:00] ask you to come into my life and bad things. Tribulation did happen, and, and I blamed you for it. And I walked away. Well, just like when I told you I fell from heaven and fell to earth and should have kept on going all the way through straight to hell, the Lord had mercy on me.
[00:34:18] And if you’re listening to me today, the Lord’s having mercy upon you that he loves you and he wants you to come back. And all you gotta do is just get on your knees and say, Lord, I don’t want a hard heart. Lord, I want your word to go into a soft heart. Into the fertile ground. And I want the roots, the roots to go down deep that I may know who you are and who I am in you.
[00:34:49] Now, that’s a process, but it could be done. It says, or even persecution. Persecution a riseth for the word’s sake. He even gives a reason for it. It isn’t just persecution because you know, you stand up for a friend or a family or whatever it may be. he’s talking about because of Jesus. See, persecution comes that you give your life back to the Lord and you working with a whole bunch of guys and you try to do that which is right, and you begin to start, you know, talking about Jesus and you never talked about Jesus before, and everybody starts making fun of you.
[00:35:28] That could cause you to pull away because there’s no one like to be made fun of. Well, that’s persecution. That’s what it is. And immediately they are offended.
[00:35:41] If you’ve ever found yourself in that situation where you’re like, Hey, I did get offended, and I, I did begin to just like shut my mouth and, and I just kinda like blended in and the Lord’s just asked you to come back. [00:36:00] Jesus even said in the scriptures, in the holy scriptures, he says, be ashamed of me and I’ll be ashamed of you.
[00:36:06] And if you found yourself being ashamed of Christ, living out there in that world amongst your friends or your family, or even those at the job site, all you gotta do is ask him to forgive you. And, he is faithful to forgive, but we gotta bring ourselves to a place of repentance, a replace of repentance.
[00:36:31] Even though we have tasted of all these wonderful things, we still need to find ourselves in a place of repentance.
[00:36:41] Next, please, verse 18. And these are, they, see, this is what I’m saying. Let say these are they, which are sown among thorns, such as Hear the word Next please. And the cares of this world. See, You can hear the word which we know is Jesus Christ. But these preachers, I’m telling you that they are thorns and they are breyers and they are weeds, and they’re like, Jason, how can you say that?
[00:37:22] Because when they present you, Jesus, which is the word. Then here comes a whole train of stuff that they’re bringing with Jesus. And it says, the cares of this world, this is Jesus’s words, the cares of this world. Now listen. And you see that word and it’s adding, and the deceitfulness of riches, see, they’re adding unto the seed that is sown.
[00:37:54] And those that add to the seed, these particular things. [00:38:00] You notice, it doesn’t say love, you notice. It doesn’t say patience. you notice it doesn’t say temperance, you know, it doesn’t say long suffering. It says adds to Jesus, the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things.
[00:38:14] And this is where we find these preachers, these preachers. Causing those that have heard the good word of Jesus Christ and causing them to desire other things. Listen of this world, of the earthly and not the heavenly. These things that they add to Jesus, choke the word. They choke it and it becometh unfruitful.
[00:38:46] Now that’s 100% spiritual. That’s Jesus. That’s what Jesus said. now. As we read Jesus and as we read the seed sown, and now we can see because you know, Jesus Christ has illuminated our eyes and he just explained to us.
[00:39:03] And if we could understand this process, then in this first parable, then we’re gonna be able to understand the rest of the parables because Jesus just said so at the beginning. Okay, now this is where it confuses me or just kind of blows me away. Not just a little bit, but a whole lot. Where these preachers are getting the first parable wrong.
[00:39:31] They’re making themselves the seed sowed in the hearts of man. They’re making themselves the seed and not Jesus. They’re not making themselves the earth, the heart of a man. They’re making them the seed. Sown and they got this parable wrong. And that tells me they’re not gonna get any of the other parables, [00:40:00] right?
[00:40:00] And this is a scary place to be. This is where we are in the church today. Next, please. Now we’re gonna go back to the thought, if you wanna put it that way. In Hebrews were the Apostle Paul, where we was talking about those that teach, that gain his godliness and those that have tasted of the heavenly gift and they refuse to repent.
[00:40:28] This is what he says, but that which bearth thorns and Breyers is rejected. See, you sow Jesus. you’re gonna get Jesus back and if you sow yourself. Hey, you’re gonna get a thorn back, you’re gonna get a briar back, you’re gonna get a weed back because it ain’t Jesus. And anything that is not Jesus is considered a thorn, b briar or a weed.
[00:41:00] Now, what does the apostle Paul say you do with thorns and briars? I’m gonna add weeds because we have the understanding of other parables. What do you do with them? Well, first of all, let’s talk about what the apostle Paul just said is nigh unto cursing, because I don’t know about you, but,when I trim a Rose Bush, or I got a lot of pokey bushes around in my yard, and, uh, I don’t know about you, but I poke my finger many times.
[00:41:32] And I mean, sometimes you could be gentle and you could even have leather gloves on. And I mean, one can poke you really good and what does it make you wanna do? It makes you wanna cuss, doesn’t it? Yeah. That doesn’t mean that you do, but boy, sometimes it’s right there no different than jabbing a big old splinter right in your finger, in the side of your hand, and you’re like, ah, and you wanted something to come out.
[00:41:57] But it doesn’t, it’s the [00:42:00] same understanding that when you grab a hold of that thorny bush and it gets you, makes you want to curse, doesn’t it? All right. That’s the understanding right there, that if this is the field, this is God’s field. the seed that is sowed is Jesus Christ.
[00:42:22] And when he sends his laborers into the field. And they surely will get poked. What is the attitude of the labor in the field? You wanna curse at it. That is the process of it still being in the field. You curse it now after the process of the field and it’s separated after all the dealing with it and the cursing with it and it’s bundled, separated, then what’s the future of that thorn?
[00:42:59] What’s the of that briar and them thorn bushes. What is the future in that? It says verse eight, who’s in is to be burned? And that we could understandthat’s hell separated from God. See, this is where it’s so scary. It is, and it is a scary thing.
[00:43:19] We have people going into eternity,
[00:43:25] and no one’s nervous about it. Well, these preachers, aint They act like it’s no big deal that they’re just gonna, you know,
[00:43:40] go outta this life and into the new life and just bust open the doors of heaven and say, we’re, we’re here. And, uh, that surely is not the way it’s gonna go down because nowhere in holy scripture does it describe that type of image.
[00:43:59] [00:44:00] Next, please. If we go to the book of Jude, we’re still talking about falling stars, we’re still talking about, weeds and. And untimely figs, and we’re talking about thorns and briars, and we’re talking about fruit. We’re talking about all these things, and all we’re doing is adding some more things that we might be able to understand because all the disciples, they’re speaking the same thing.
[00:44:28] They’re not speaking separate things. Okay? Now it says, but beloved, this is what Jude said in chapter one, verse 17. But beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles,
[00:44:48] you see where he just directed us. Remember the words that the apostles have spoken to you we’re not going back and reading the teachings and the words of the apostles. See, they have the teachings that.
[00:45:01] They just received Jesus, the disciples, they just received Jesus and went back to their houses. And that’s not the way it went down. See, those that were healed and those that came and believed upon the Lord Jesus, they went back home. But the 12 followed. And that’s putting a difference between the apostles and all the rest of them.
[00:45:27] We’re putting a difference between sheep and the shepherd. We’re putting a difference between the teacher and the student, the leader and the follower. We’re putting a difference between them, and we’re supposed to be following after their teachings, and we’re supposed to be listening to them. And this is where Judah’s directing us to go back to the teachings.
[00:45:50] Now, these teachers in the churches today, and these preachers in the church, they’re acting like that the apostles. They had it, [00:46:00] but they didn’t have it like we have it today because they had a lack of understanding and they were walking and talking and living with Jesus. Okay? Now, if we begin to start reading the words of Jude, and let’s listen to the direction that he’s given us, okay?
[00:46:20] The direction he says, next please. Verse 18. It says how that they told you there should be mocks in the last time. Okay, mocks. Now, see, we’re gonna try to take this and go. Those that persecute you, those that make fun of you and you fell away immediately. That’s not what the word means. it’s not even associated to the same word at all.
[00:46:43] Okay? That’s not what that word means. it doesn’t mean mock to make fun of, you know, it doesn’t mean mock like as in to laugh. To mock somebody or to laugh at somebody. That’s not what the word means. See, English words can mean same word, but have different meanings. And this is why sometimes the English language can be hard to those like speak Spanish and they wanna speak, English, that we can have the exact same word, spelled the exact same way, and pronounce the exact same way, but yet mean two different things.
[00:47:22] How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time. What does it mean, Jake? It means, you know what it’s like that when your sister repeats everything that you say, you know, like you ever repeat after somebody, you ever like a mime and he might be following you and everything that you do, he’s copying you.
[00:47:47] This is what the word means to copy. To mock. There shall be mockers in the last day. Copiers, listen. Imitators. Okay. Imitators [00:48:00] of the true apostles. Okay. In the last time, break down them words and if we confess out of our mouth and we have the understanding that we are at the end, then obviously we should
[00:48:15] be able to look around and say, there’s all kinds of imitators of the apostles, but we have to find the true ones. Okay? It says this is what he says and how that they told you there should be imitators. Mockers in the end time or last time.
[00:48:35] Who shall walk after their own ungodly lust. See, we’re talking about the exact same Breyers, the exact same thorns, the exact same problem that is in the church because they are teaching people to go after their own lust and their own desires. Okay, verse 19, please. And it says, these be they, oh, wait a minute.
[00:48:55] See? He’s separating no different than Jesus Christ said these be they, that the seed is sown. See how he was able to divide that up We can do the exact same things that Jude is saying. These be they who separate themselves talking about those, that in the church they separate themselves sensual.
[00:49:15] Okay. Now I know it sounds a little bit like sexual. But another option, word is natural. Okay? So these be they that separate themselves. Natural. Natural would be what you can see, what you can taste, what you can feel, and what you could hear in this world. Okay? your five senses, if you would, on this earth, in your body.
[00:49:38] And these mockers, imitators of the true apostles, they make it about all these things of this world. Now, this is a hard one to swallow, having not the spirit. That’s a hard one.
[00:49:58] We have to [00:50:00] distinguish between the Holy Spirit of God, and just a spirit.
[00:50:09] They say that they’re spiritual. They guide you in spiritual things. And I’m agreeing that they are, and all I’m asking is if it is the Holy Spirit, then why is not the Holy Spirit making a difference between God and man?
[00:50:32] This is where we should be getting flags that come up that we need to be careful that we go back to the teachings of Jesus and where he says that the devil can appear as an angel of light. The apostle Paul even said that. He can transform in an angel of light. Well, if he came to you and he looked like an a beautiful angel, or if he came to you and he spoke and it melted your heart and it began to move,that you as amazed that a spirit spoke to you then just because it was a spirit and just because it was an angel.
[00:51:15] We should take the words that they speak and we should put them on trial before we act on faith, on the words that they’ve spoken to us.
[00:51:32] Try that spirit, not like a coat. Try it on and see if it fits. Try that spirit like on a trial and make sure that it’s not the devil in disguise. It’s not sin to do that. We’re directed and taught to do that, and we find that in the church, they haven’t been doing that.[00:52:00]
[00:52:02] Verse 20.
[00:52:09] But ye beloved. See, he’s talking to the church. You’re not talking to sinners, but ye beloved, building up yourselves on the most holy faith. See, Jude made a difference between just having faith in Jesus and having Holy faith. Holy faith. That’s why I’m putting the emphasis, and we have to, that if you’re gonna go get yourself a Bible, go get yourself a Holy Bible.
[00:52:36] If you wanna start talking about the spirit of God, then call it the Holy Spirit. Make a difference between holy and unholy. you’re not gonna get faith out there in the world.
[00:52:50] Okay? That’s wishing okay. That’s wishing, that’s luck. that’s not where we live. We live by faith. So if we’re gonna have an argument in the church about faith, then we’re gonna have an argument about you just have faith, or do you have holy faith, because Jude made a difference when he added the word holy before faith praying in the Holy Ghost.
[00:53:12] I’m not against praying in the Holy Ghost, not one bit. Am I against speaking in tongues? not one iota, but this is what I’m gonna direct you to do. No different from the Apostle Paul. And he says, though I speak with many tongues, many tongues, and I speak more in tongues than you all. That’s what he said.
[00:53:33] What I’m gonna do, call him a liar. I’m gonna say that he did. Then he said he would rather speak 10 words that you could understand, and that if you were to prophesy a message in tongues that you should pray for the interpretation that we might understand. And we look at all these Pentecostal churches and everybody’s speaking in a different tongue and everybody’s speaking, but no one’s interpreting.
[00:53:57] And that’s exactly what the Apostle Paul said. Don’t do it. [00:54:00] You shouldn’t be doing it like that. And then we find that the church is in a mess. And it surely, surely is a mess. And this is why the Lord’s gonna separate before he comes,
[00:54:14] because he surely is getting ready to come.
[00:54:19] Verse 21. Keep yourselves in the love of God. You could put it like this. Keep yourself in love with God. No different than keep yourself in love with your own wife. Keep your heart towards her and let it not go after another. And if we could understand that towards our spouse. If we could understand that direction towards our spouse and when we find ourselves looking at another, that you grab a hold and go, I don’t wanna live like that no more.
[00:54:48] And you determine in your heart and make a decision and say, Lord, I am weak in this spot. Help me. I want to live a holy life pleasing unto you. And if we could understand that prayer directed to a natural thing, which is love, then surely we could understand that. Our love towards God should be directed towards God, and that we should not desire anything else but him.
[00:55:22] Stay in love with God. Keep yourselves in love with God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ into eternal life. This is what Jude said. See, we’re going back into the apostles and what they said, they was emphasizing eternal life. not the abundant life that you could have in this world.
[00:55:40] See, it’s always nice and easy to speak. Abundant life when you have money flowing in, it’s easy to preach health when you’re not sick. Okay,
[00:55:55] how do you take the Prosperity Gospel to Palestine? [00:56:00] Take it to Gaza,Take it to the Ukraine, take it to Russia. I mean the gospel’s for Russia too. And how are you supposed to take this gospel to those that are in a battlefield? And those that have no hope for the future. don’t know where their food’s gonna come from and don’t know where their shelter is gonna be,
[00:56:22] Go talk to somebody that’s living on this street and go tell ’em the prosperity gospel to, to someone that’s a drug addict living in a tent on the side of a freeway, and how are they supposed to receive this? You’re like, man, they’re just supposed to believe. Easy for you to say.
[00:56:41] I am not trying to imply discouragement. What I am trying to point your finger to is the apostles and the words that were spoken by Jesus Christ first and those that he taught that were with him. I’m gonna repeat it again. I said it. You were not at that table. You were not at that table. You were not at that table.
[00:57:13] Now I’m gonna make it spiritual. You were at that table spiritually, and you find in the readings of the teachings. What did Judas want? He wanted Jesus Christ to form an army. And to take Jerusalem, lead the children of Israel and make this kingdom on earth. He had his hand on the money bag and he’s constantly questioned,
[00:57:46] And he was concerned only about money, even sold Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. We find the heart of the preacher. in Judas, this is where it’s a scary thing that’s spiritual, that [00:58:00] you weren’t physically at that table, but you can spiritually be at that table because that cup and that bread was handed to them physically, but it is passed to us spiritually that we partake of the same bread and the same cup of wine by faith.
[00:58:22] See?
[00:58:26] We need to get the right understanding that we were not the first ones invited to the wedding. We’re not the first ones. Jesus Christ spoke that 2000 years ago. Jesus invited his own, the Jewish people, the children of Abraham and the promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
[00:58:54] And he came and fulfilled those holy scriptures and he invited them in and only a few came in. See if we can understand the first parable. We could understand the second parable.
[00:59:11] We gotta understand that Jesus, he said in this story that there’s still room left. Go out and do the highways and the byways, and that’s all your gentiles. And that’s go out from Jerusalem and go out all over the world and, and yet there was still room left. Now that’s a spiritual table.
[00:59:36] So who’s at the head of the table? Who was first. So you could take that last supper table and you could make Jesus at the head of it and put six disciples on each side.
[00:59:55] Now just extend that table and those that [01:00:00] come into that table. That’s the order that we come into the table. And if we are here 2000 years later and we are still being invited to come into that table, then look where we are at the table. But the teachings of these preachers today, they don’t teach your at the end of the table.
[01:00:21] You’re at the head of the table. You see where they put themselves spiritually. They have no understanding of the order of things, and God is gonna correct it. God is going to correct what they have done. He’s gonna correct it, and he’s going to remove them. Listen, he’s going to remove them how they spiritually put themselves at the head of the table next to Christ, and he’s going to remove them.
[01:00:56] And then he’s gonna take those that came humbly at the end of the table and he’s gonna bring them forward.
[01:01:08] Now, that’s pretty simple to understand, This is the process in the separation. This is where we’re beginning to see, and you’re like, well, when’s it truly, truly gonna take place Jason, that I’m gonna say, Hey, Jason was telling the truth and all these other guys are liars, or Jason’s a liar, and all these other guys are telling the truth.
[01:01:28] You’re gonna know for certain when the city’s destroyed Jerusalem, when Israel is no longer recognized,
[01:01:40] then every preacher and every prophet is gonna be known. As,they spoke. In the name of God, in the name of Yeshua, in the name of the Spirit and authority of the power of the Holy Ghost, thus sayeth the Lord. We’re gonna know which one was right and which one was wrong.[01:02:00]
[01:02:03] Next, please, verse 22. Now this is what Jude said. Do those.
[01:02:13] That need to come back to the Lord Jesus Christ. Alright, he says, and of, some have compassion. This is what we’re trying to do. I know some of the words that I can speak and some of the things that can be pretty hard. And even some of the shorts that we make and we do it to get your attention.
[01:02:37] It’s like somebody, Waving their hands up way over in the far corner and going, Hey, look over here. Over here. Something’s going on over here. And this is why we make these videos to get your attention to go, Hey, hey, hey, listen, look over here. That’s the wrong way.
[01:02:57] We’re having compassion. We’re not casting everybody in hell were saying, humble yourselves. Repent. Know your place, know your position and that were not it
[01:03:19] of some have compassion, making a difference. Verse 23
[01:03:26] and others save with fear. I
[01:03:31] see. That’s why, you know when I say the aspects of. Being raised up with a seven year tribulation and the rapture, all them things. it did cause you to fear because you could be left behind or it brought your attention that you could die in a car wreck and that you didn’t want to go to hell.
[01:03:49] And that’s a good thing. And I can say that there’s some teachings that are some good aspects in them teachings, but through the years, upon years, [01:04:00] upon years, you know,I understand like, when I did a study in Jeremiah and I see where he actually prophesied for 25 years. Before they went into the destruction, and I can’t remember right offhand, but Isaiah, he was a long time too.
[01:04:14] It just wasn’t that they prophesied that they were gonna go into Babylon and you know, next year they went into Babylon or next week or five years. It was literally years upon, years upon years of them calling the people to repent. To repent and to come back and bring your heart, give your heart back to the Lord
[01:04:34] You know when you read the writings of Moses and in the law and as Moses, is speaking to the children of Israel and when they had such a hard heart and even Moses said the Lord had desired for your heart to be circumcised. And that’s no different from the Lord’s ask us to do even again to, open your heart, render it.
[01:05:00] Circumcised, cut it open and say, Lord Jesus, here’s my heart come into my heart. I want to know you. These are the things that Moses was even directed in the children of Israel.
[01:05:15] How long does a preacher or prophets have to be until we finally say that you’re wrong? That’s what I’m saying. I mean, they say 40 years and then they say 50 years, and then they say 55 years and then they say 60 years and then they say 70 years and still these things that they say were going to happen haven’t happened yet.
[01:05:45] But yet they’ll say, but they’re getting ready to, but they’re getting ready to. You don’t understand Jason. We’re getting ready to, but you guys are like. 30 years off and it still hadn’t happened.
[01:05:59] Like [01:06:00] no prophecy has to be fulfilled after the establishment of 1948. No prophecy has to be fulfilled. The only thing that we’re looking for right now is the rapture, and that’s what they taught.
[01:06:21] But now while we’re waiting on the rapture, God has another plan like he’s changed his mind, and now we can go ahead and live in this abundant life and live on this earth as it is in heaven, and enjoy this world as we’re waiting for the return of Jesus Christ. And you can have the best of heaven and earth, and that’s not the teachings of Jesus.
[01:06:49] Jesus said, you’re either gonna love the world or hate the world. You’ll love the world and hate him, or hate him and love the world. That’s the teachings of Jesus. You cannot love the world and the things that are in the world and love the Lord Jesus Christ with the same love. It’s impossible. Jesus said that it was.
[01:07:21] Verse 23 says in Jude chapter one, verse 23 says, and others saved with fear, pulling them out of the fire. Now see, that’s all spiritual. We can’t literally go to hell and pull somebody out. I Mean you can confess with your mouth that you’re storming the gates of hell. But listen. You spiritually cannot go into the gates of hell and pull people out.
[01:07:53] Can’t do it. Someone dies. You can’t go to hell and pull ’em out. [01:08:00] We see them teachings by Jesus. He said There’s a great gulf between the rich man and the Lazar. You can’t come to me and I can’t come to you. It’s impossible. But yet these preachers are saying that we can spiritually go down to where the rich man was and we can pull him out and put him over in Abraham’s bosom or just put him right into the kingdom of God.
[01:08:22] And those are not teachings of Jesus Christ nor teachings of the apostles.
[01:08:31] See this fire he’s saying, I’m pulling you out of.
[01:08:38] That’s where you’re going. And if you don’t turn from your wicked way, that’s where you’re gonna be heading. So he’s saying that you’re already destined to hell and we can save people by hey. You’re not there yet. Listen, you’re not there yet. Repent. Hating, even the garment spotted with the flesh. See, Jude says that you can tell a difference.
[01:09:11] See, you have some that are concerned about the food on the plate. Nothing wrong with that. You have some that are making sure that your, your cup is full and running over, and we get that spiritually right? Then we’re all blessings from heaven. Not they wanna make it to the substance of this earth, but it’s actually in the kingdom.
[01:09:37] See, when we come into that table, we’re all given a garment and that table represents the kingdom of God. And we find many teachings of even Jesus Christ and the disciples and the Apostle Paul, and they talk about having a dirty garment, being naked, either having a garment, not having a garment, or having one that is [01:10:00] stained.
[01:10:00] One that is spotted, or even one that is even tore, and this is something to be concerned about at the table and how you come into the kingdom. Next, please,
[01:10:17] verse 24. Now this is what Jesus said. Now, if it’s impossible, if it’s impossible, then why would he say bring them into repentance? It says now unto him that is able to keep you from falling. See, he is able to keep you from falling. how do you keep from falling? Well, first of all, you gotta be, you gotta be on your toes.
[01:10:40] What? What do you mean on your toes? Hey, man, you gotta be reading your Bible. I’m not saying you gotta read a chapter today, I’m not saying that your heart needs to be towards the Lord. You could read one verse. as long as it’s in the right context, you can read one verse and be meditating on that one verse all day.
[01:11:00] But the problem is they give you one verse and they say, you can stand on this verse, and they take it plumb outta context.
[01:11:13] Some of you people out there reading so many of them books from all these other preachers. That’s been going around for so many years, you hardly even pick up the Bible,
[01:11:25] and they need to go back and remind ourselves in the teachings of Jesus Christ, because he talked about what it was gonna be like before his second coming. He talked about it.
[01:11:43] Jesus Christ is able to keep you from falling. And to present you faultless before the presence. And that’s where I wanna be found that Jesus Christ is gonna present us to the Father [01:12:00] in his presence. Listen in his presence, and he’s going to say that we are faultless. And that’s where I wanna be next please.
[01:12:17] Now we’re gonna go to Mark chapter 13. Mark chapter 13. We’re gonna go to what Jesus said. See, this is all about his second coming. He said this 2000 years ago. Watch you therefore for you. No, not win the master of the house cometh. Hmm. We’ve been talking about a house being built, haven’t we? What house is he talking about?
[01:12:43] Is he talking about your physical house that when he comes, you don’t know? he’s coming to his house, he built it spiritually. It’s a true house, and this is what I’m trying to tell youthe finish work’s being done. It’s all coming together, all the pieces of the puzzle.
[01:13:00] They’re, you don’t have to foresee anything to fit. They’re all lining up and that means that it’s finished. He’s getting ready to come to his house,
[01:13:14] you know, not when the master of the house cometh at evening or at midnight or at the cock crawling or in the morning. Verse 36, let’s cum. And suddenly he finds you sleeping. Now listen, he’s given us a warning. It can be Suddenly. That means with no warning. With no warning. He says, find you sleeping.
[01:13:45] Now, is this truly like it’s gonna be like it is at midnight, all over the planet at one time, nor is it noon all over the. Planet at one time. So, you know, if Jesus is, coming at midnight on this part of the world and on the other part of the [01:14:00] world, it’s, you know, it’s, it’s noon.
[01:14:02] That doesn’t even make any sense. ’cause see, you’re trying to make it all worldly. It’s 100% spiritual
[01:14:11] unless he find you sleeping. Listen in his house, his house. That you are spiritually sleeping and he wants you to spiritually awaken that your eyes may be open, that you might be, listen, a watcher next verse, please. And what I say unto you all, now see this is where we’re dividing up all the scriptures and I’m always saying like Jesus said.
[01:14:49] I say unto you, and I’m like, now listen, he didn’t say you, he said to the you, to the 12 disciples, or whether it be, you know, Peter by himself, or John and Peter and another one by themselves. It doesn’t matter. When he says, and I tell you, he didn’t say you. I want to point your attention to Jesus said, and what I say to you.
[01:15:11] That’s your 12 disciples. Then he says, I say unto all. Now we can include ourselves in all that we can take these words that Jesus said, watch, prepare your heart and if you need to receive the Lord Jesus Christ. For the very, very first time. There’s no prayer that you can pray in the Bible that will save your soul.
[01:15:46] It’s not in there. You can’t find it. There’s not a repeat this after me and thou shalt be saved. That’s not what it says. First of all, you need to come to the acknowledgement. Hey, [01:16:00] who you are, who you are. I don’t care if you’re a rich man or a poor man, you’re not taking anything with you when you leave.
[01:16:10] And when we all stand before God, we’re all going to stand together just as a people and there ain’t gonna be one any better than the other. When it just comes to the human race, to those that don’t believe. And you can come out from among them people that don’t believe, and all you gotta do is acknowledge that you’re a sinner separated from God and that you don’t know nothing, but you have opened your heart and you believe upon this son Jesus, that I’m speaking of, that he gave his life for you.
[01:16:48] That you might live eternally with him when you die, and that if you would. Confess your sin out of your mouth. I didn’t say you had to confess it to everybody, but if you would just separate yourself and just begin to speak that nasty, grotesque, and things that are in your heart and in your mind, and if you would speak those things out of your mouth, trust me, God’s not gonna be offended.
[01:17:25] He’s seen it the whole time. He’s just been waiting for you to acknowledge it yourself,
[01:17:34] and if you would confess your sins, he, his faith would’ve forgive.
[01:17:47] And this Holy Bible says that he will make himself known unto you and your eyes will be open. And if you would do that,[01:18:00]
[01:18:03] I’m gonna tell you right now, I told you so,
[01:18:09] you know, years ago
[01:18:13] I led a man to the Lord and I took him by the hand and he was one of my best friends. And when I took him by the hand and I didn’t know what else to do, but I didn’t say repeat a prayer after me, but I was just kinda like, put my hands on him and I took him by the hand and, and he did confess that he was a sinner and, and he asked the Lord Jesus Christ to come into his life.
[01:18:38] And, and I did pray for him. And, and he went home. Now he was living with his girlfriend and. And I’d been witnessing to him for quite some time. And, uh, he was shacked up with his girlfriend and obviously when you’re living with your girlfriend and, and, uh, he went home that night.
[01:19:02] He made love to his girlfriend, if you want to call it like that,
[01:19:10] and he cried like a baby when he got done, and that never have happened to him before. He was very confused because when he was finished, he cried. He came back to me the next day. He thought I put a curse on him and he wanted to beat me up, and he wanted to know what I did to him.
[01:19:42] What came into that man’s heart. It was real. He didn’t even understand conviction. He didn’t know what it was. See, that is fulfillment of scripture when he says he’s gonna take [01:20:00] this word, the law, Hey, the law, and he was gonna write it on a man’s heart That those things that. my friend understood that he felt bad for what he did because he committed sin that was real.
[01:20:25] Now that man’s a preacher today leads the congregation,
[01:20:32] and I’m telling you the same thing that I told him that if you would do it and believe. He would come in and he’s faithful, and if you’ve fallen, maybe you’ve stopped and said, well, I am looking at all this earthly stuff and I am looking to, gain the things of this world, or even all the way to the faith office where you’ve taken the powers.
[01:21:09] Of this world and taking unto yourself
[01:21:16] that you have placed yourself on the throne and removed Jesus, made yourself God
[01:21:28] that if you stay in that state, it is impossible. But if you would repent.
[01:21:38] To renew you into the words of the apostles and the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ is faithful
[01:21:51] I love you guys.[01:22:00]
[01:22:01] We will go ahead and dismiss Father God as we just come before you
[01:22:10] today. And I thank you Lord for, the ears Lord that, heard the teaching and the preaching and the repeating. Of the words of Jesus and the repeating of the Apostles
[01:22:32] that Father that you administer, your Holy Spirit would minister to every heart. And Father, I know that you will be faithful to those that truly repent and that when we have lifted ourselves high Father, that we would bring ourselves down low.
[01:22:57] That father, the eyes would begin to open and that seed that is you Lord Jesus Christ, would go into that soft tender heart. And Father, I pray, Lord, that the seed that I’m speaking about today would multiply and return back to itself. We love you Lord, and we praise you and your holy mighty name. Amen.
