4:00
Speaker 1: completely saved. We are born again, we are made new,
4:04
Speaker 1: and we are righteous because you said we were righteous.
4:07
Speaker 1: We are holy because you said we are holy. Thank you,
4:09
Speaker 1: Lord Jesus for your word. I pray Holy Spirit, that
4:12
Speaker 1: you would continue to engage your hearts and minds and
4:15

4:18
Speaker 1: pray Lord God, healing over every single body over my

Speaker 1: wife's back in the name of Jesus, that you can
4:23
Speaker 1: see to hear her body, give your wisdom of how
4:26
Speaker 1: to maintain the complete healing in her body physically, emotionally,

Speaker 1: and spiritually, and that you would do the same for
4:32
Speaker 1: every single person in my family that is hurting in
4:35
Speaker 1: their body, that is hurting in their mind, physically, emotionally,
4:38
Speaker 1: and spiritually. I pray healing in the name of Jesus.
4:41
Speaker 1: And I also pray, Lord God, I had your protection
4:43
Speaker 1: over all my family members and every single person that's
4:47
Speaker 1: involved in my life and in this ministry's life, and
4:50
Speaker 1: every single person on the other side of the screen
4:53
Speaker 1: and on the other side is might I pray the
4:55
Speaker 1: power of God by way of angelic angels, angels from
4:59
Speaker 1: Heaven that will guard God and protect us all the
5:02
Speaker 1: way from now, all the way till Jesus comes and
5:04
Speaker 1: returns for us. In Jesus name, I prayers by faith,
5:07
Speaker 1: knowing that these prayers will be answered individually for every
5:12
Speaker 1: single person who comes along and agrees with this prayer.
5:15
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, we praise by faith, and
5:18
Speaker 1: we all say, a man and a man. So let's
5:20
Speaker 1: take sixty seconds to shut this out. When I come back,
5:22
Speaker 1: we'll get right into it. I'll be right back. Amen. Amen.
6:42
Speaker 1: Let's go for it, ladies and gentlemen, Let's go for it.
6:44
Speaker 1: Let's see what the word of God has for us
6:46
Speaker 1: today on the morning evil. So listen, let me get
6:50
Speaker 1: to this, Amen. And what is this? I'm locked out
6:54
Speaker 1: on my website. Look back into that bad boy as
6:57
Speaker 1: I get ready to put this on the screen. For
6:59
Speaker 1: those who are just listening, welcome back to the radio,
7:02
Speaker 1: the live audio. Amen. I'm so grateful that you are
7:05
Speaker 1: with us. Amen, so humble that you take some time
7:09
Speaker 1: with us live in the mornings and the week hours.
7:11
Speaker 1: In the mornings, depending on your time zone, this could
7:14
Speaker 1: be in the evening, this could be in an afternoon
7:15
Speaker 1: in other parts of the world. But on the East
7:17
Speaker 1: Coast this is way on cricket time. We hear the
7:21
Speaker 1: crickets on full blast as they go about their thing. Amen,
7:26
Speaker 1: And we're here in the studio live with you. So Amen,
7:30
Speaker 1: it's a blessing to have you. I don't take it
7:31
Speaker 1: for granted. I'm grateful and I'm mindful of people's time.
7:35
Speaker 1: So that's why I try to get straight to the point,
7:37
Speaker 1: keep this like a snapshot, and really encourage you to
7:40
Speaker 1: get into the Word of God for yourself during the day.
7:43
Speaker 1: It's an amazing thing how the Word will speak to
7:46
Speaker 1: every individual life the truth, the love, the grace and
7:48
Speaker 1: the mercy and the power of God. Amen, by way
7:52
Speaker 1: of Holy Spirit. It's amazing that a brother or sister
7:56
Speaker 1: and the Lord from the other side of the world
7:58
Speaker 1: will read the same passage that we're gonna read, and
8:00
Speaker 1: God will give a revelation to them and a revelation
8:03
Speaker 1: to us, and then will agree on God's power and
8:06
Speaker 1: his word. Depending on where you are, it doesn't really matter.
8:10
Speaker 1: You could be in Australia, I could be over here
8:13
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. A man and Holy Spirit can move on
8:16
Speaker 1: our hearts simultaneously. We serve an omnipresent almighty, all knowing God. Amen.
8:23
Speaker 1: There's no building we could build to contain his power.
8:26
Speaker 1: There's no profit that could be housed can house Holy Spirit.
8:31
Speaker 1: God all for himself. There's no organization or no ministry
8:36
Speaker 1: that can really contain or try to really hoard Holy Spirit. God.
8:43
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. God is loose, and he's pouring spirit upon
8:46
Speaker 1: every human a man, and on pouring spirit upon all
8:49
Speaker 1: flesh a man. All those who call upon the name
8:53
Speaker 1: of the Lord Jesus will be saved by Holy Spirit.
8:56
Speaker 1: God's work by way of Holy Spirit, I should say,
9:00
Speaker 1: because what Jesus did it was complete, and how he
9:03
Speaker 1: forgave you and how he forgave me was complete. So
9:06
Speaker 1: what he did on the cross allowed us to do
9:08
Speaker 1: what we're doing right. Now, give glory, honor, and praise
9:11
Speaker 1: and worship unto the Lord Jesus. Amen, it's it's not
9:16
Speaker 1: what people think. Oh, it's a religious religious podcast. You
9:20
Speaker 1: could take your religion somewhere else. We're talking about a
9:23
Speaker 1: relationship with the Lord Jesus himself. Yes, we have a
9:26
Speaker 1: relationship with God through the Sun, and we have Holy
9:30
Speaker 1: Spirit to encourage and empower us and to godless and
9:33
Speaker 1: to all truth. But this is relational. Religion has rules regulations.
9:39
Speaker 1: If you want to live that way, I suggest you won't.
9:42
Speaker 1: You don't. Go go ahead and live that life of religion.
9:45
Speaker 1: But over here we're living a life of a relationship
9:48
Speaker 1: with the Lord Jesus. Amen. Brandon, God bless you, God
9:52
Speaker 1: bless you. Welcome back to the morning devols, because to
9:54
Speaker 1: see you, my friends. So listen. Complete forgiveness Psalm eighty six.
9:58
Speaker 1: Let me put this on the sk so that way
10:01
Speaker 1: we could see what's going on here. Amen, complete forgiveness.
10:05
Speaker 1: Let's go for it, or I might be in the
10:07
Speaker 1: last slide. That's what it is. Let me see is
10:11
Speaker 1: that it there you go, Psalm eighty six, Verse number five.
10:16
Speaker 1: The Bible says for you, Oh Lord, are good only
10:23
Speaker 1: God is good. You know, I say that all the
10:25
Speaker 1: time because that's the truth. It's not my truth, not
10:28
Speaker 1: your truth. It's the Gospel truth. God is good and
10:32
Speaker 1: ready to forgive our sins, sending them where, sending them
10:36
Speaker 1: away completely, letting them go forever and ever. So, if
10:43
Speaker 1: you're trying to say that you're bored again and you're
10:46
Speaker 1: still a sinner, you're going against scripture. Stop saying that
10:49
Speaker 1: you're bored again and you're still a sinner doesn't make
10:52
Speaker 1: no sense. Stop saying, oh, I'm a sinner saved by grace. No,
10:56
Speaker 1: you were a sinner, you're saved by grace. Now you're
10:59
Speaker 1: a saint. Call yourself what God calls you. Do the
11:03
Speaker 1: things that God says is already done. Right, We're in
11:06
Speaker 1: the done, finished work of God and man. We're not
11:09
Speaker 1: doing things to gain access to God. We are in
11:12
Speaker 1: the process of being elevated to the highst of heights
11:18
Speaker 1: when the Lord comes and makes us like him completely,
11:22
Speaker 1: sending them go forever and ever, completely, letting them go
11:27
Speaker 1: forever and ever, and abundant and loving kindness and overflowing
11:32
Speaker 1: in mercy to all those who call upon you. In
11:37
Speaker 1: other words, this truth and this promise, and all that
11:45
Speaker 1: this is is for the people who call upon God.
11:48
Speaker 1: Now the thing is the enemy has people running around
11:51
Speaker 1: in all these religious circles thinking they have to do
11:54
Speaker 1: this and do that to get this complete forgiveness. When
11:57
Speaker 1: God has been speaking this word to us all since
12:02
Speaker 1: years and years and years. God has an eternal word
12:05
Speaker 1: for you, an eternal word for me a man. We're
12:08
Speaker 1: catching up to what God has already done, if that
12:10
Speaker 1: makes sense. We're not doing things new to God. And
12:14
Speaker 1: God is not surprised by certain sins. He's not surprised
12:19
Speaker 1: by people who are walking around with hardened hearts. He's
12:22
Speaker 1: not surprised by people who don't believe in him. He's
12:24
Speaker 1: not surprised by people who try to mock his word,
12:27
Speaker 1: who try to mock Holy Spirit, who try to mock
12:30
Speaker 1: other Christians and believers. He's not surprised by none of that.
12:33
Speaker 1: But he's willing. The Bible says, we just read it.
12:36
Speaker 1: He's willing. He's available. Amen, He's able to forgive us completely.
12:41
Speaker 1: And he is there. He's God, Jehovah Shama, the God
12:44
Speaker 1: who is there. We know who he is. He is God.
12:47
Speaker 1: He revealed himself through the person of Jesus. Amen. He
12:52
Speaker 1: came in the form of a man named Jesus, So
12:55
Speaker 1: we don't have to guess, do any guesswork of who
12:58
Speaker 1: this God is speaks of who he is all throughout history,
13:02
Speaker 1: all throughout scripture. An eternal being coming and to this temporal,
13:08
Speaker 1: temporal environment that we call the planet Earth. A man.
13:12
Speaker 1: He's done it already. He keeps on doing miracles, science
13:15
Speaker 1: and wonders daily. There's not a point in time that
13:19
Speaker 1: anybody or any theologian can say that God has not been.
13:23
Speaker 1: No one can say that God has not been in
13:26
Speaker 1: any part of history. Where did millions of years come from?
13:29
Speaker 1: I don't know. Thousands of years are recorded in the scriptures.
13:33
Speaker 1: So whatever the case is, we know we serve an
13:35
Speaker 1: eternal God. We can't pick a date and say well,
13:40
Speaker 1: God was created because God is creatory. He's not a
13:43
Speaker 1: creative being. So we can't say, well, God was created
13:46
Speaker 1: in this year and then he expired in that year. No,
13:49
Speaker 1: that's not the guy that we serve. The God that
13:51
Speaker 1: we serve as an eternal God. He's a complete God,
13:54
Speaker 1: a man, father, son, holy ghost. And if you believe
13:57
Speaker 1: in first mentions, you'll see Father, the Creator Elon. Then
14:00
Speaker 1: you'll see jaqueloheen spirit of God, and then Jesus appears
14:04
Speaker 1: as the light of the world. Amen. If you believe
14:07
Speaker 1: in first mentions, you can study that in the Book
14:09
Speaker 1: of Genesis. So you are forgiving and good? Who's forgiving
14:14
Speaker 1: and good? I wish I could say I'm a person
14:17
Speaker 1: who forgives right away right and leaves those things forever alone,
14:24
Speaker 1: those things that hurt me or you know, things that
14:27
Speaker 1: went wrong in my life and or people who did
14:30
Speaker 1: me wrong. I wish I was there that I could
14:32
Speaker 1: completely forgive right away. I forgive. I have to forgive,
14:37
Speaker 1: because the Bible says if I don't forgive, then I
14:40
Speaker 1: won't be forgiven right right. If you harbor hate in
14:44
Speaker 1: your heart, you're not really applying God's work or you're
14:49
Speaker 1: not allowing God's Holy Spirit, God Holy Spirit to work
14:52
Speaker 1: through you because the Holy Spirit God doesn't hold on
14:55
Speaker 1: to hatred, doesn't hold on to unforgiveness. Can you imagine
14:59
Speaker 1: if God holding on to unforgiveness, where will we be? Right?
15:03
Speaker 1: We will be in a state of unforgiveness, and man,
15:06
Speaker 1: we will be lost without a God who forgives. So
15:09
Speaker 1: very important part of the godspel message is forgiveness, complete forgiveness.
15:15
Speaker 1: I don't know where these little things come from that
15:17
Speaker 1: people say, oh, you know, you're forgiving it a little
15:19
Speaker 1: bit here, forgiven a little bit there, But you're not
15:22
Speaker 1: completely forgiven until the Lord comes back. I don't know
15:24
Speaker 1: where that came from. And when I read the Scripture,
15:27
Speaker 1: I always see a complete work, of finished work, and man,
15:30
Speaker 1: I don't see anything incomplete. Accept some prophecies that are
15:35
Speaker 1: going to be fulfilled, they already are fulfilled according to
15:37
Speaker 1: God's work, but we have not seen it yet. For instance,
15:42
Speaker 1: the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, and man, it's
15:45
Speaker 1: a promise. He is coming back. No one knows the
15:48
Speaker 1: time or hour or date or you know, predictions at
15:52
Speaker 1: the predictions have been made. They all failed. Why because
15:57
Speaker 1: no one knows, but he is coming back. We know
16:00
Speaker 1: that God's promises are all yeay and a man, are
16:02
Speaker 1: all good because of the history of God. He promised prophets,
16:06
Speaker 1: He promised people all throughout the scripture, and those promises
16:09
Speaker 1: came to pass. So why would anybody think that his return,
16:13
Speaker 1: his promise to return, won't come to pass. It's an
16:16
Speaker 1: amazing thing. I think we as human beings. We get
16:19
Speaker 1: in the way a lot of times of what God
16:21
Speaker 1: is trying to say or what God is trying to
16:23
Speaker 1: do because we're stubborn. Amen, But listen, you are forgiving
16:28
Speaker 1: and good Psalm eighty six. Read the whole Psalm eighty
16:32
Speaker 1: six for yourself today and get more of what God
16:34
Speaker 1: is speaking. But we are in some eighty six, Verse five.
16:38
Speaker 1: You are forgiven and good, O Lord, abounding and love
16:42
Speaker 1: to all who call to you, specifically to God, not
16:48
Speaker 1: to an idol, not to a guru, not to a preacher, evangelist, apostle, teacher, prophet,
16:55
Speaker 1: none of that. All who call upon the name of
16:57
Speaker 1: the Lord, All who call upon God Man, we'll find
17:01
Speaker 1: out that he's forgiving and he's good. There's somebody right
17:04
Speaker 1: now that woke up and says, Wow, no one is
17:07
Speaker 1: going to forgive me for that. I remember when I
17:09
Speaker 1: used to do prison ministry, there was a man that
17:11
Speaker 1: was on the front page of the Morning Call when
17:13
Speaker 1: the Morning Call was still in print in my area
17:16
Speaker 1: in Lehigh Valley, and I was in the block with him.
17:19
Speaker 1: We were doing a Bible study, and he was there
17:23
Speaker 1: and he was looking at me with all kinds of anger,
17:25
Speaker 1: and he says, your God can't forgive me. Do you
17:28
Speaker 1: know who I am? I just made the newspaper. I'm
17:30
Speaker 1: this and I'm that. And my body physically was like,
17:35
Speaker 1: oh oh, this guy is gonna knock me out do
17:37
Speaker 1: something in that prison cell. But the spirit man in
17:40
Speaker 1: me was like, Okay, present to him the gospel and
17:43
Speaker 1: the overwhelming grace that he's going to experience if he
17:47
Speaker 1: receives the forgiveness of God. So I got up, powered
17:51
Speaker 1: by Holy Spirit and looked right at him and say,
17:54
Speaker 1: God could forgive you for that. God will forgive you.
17:57
Speaker 1: And he went to his knees, started crying, lifted up
18:01
Speaker 1: his hands, and he received the Lord Jesus Christ right there.
18:03
Speaker 1: And that sell block why because the forgiveness of God
18:06
Speaker 1: is complete, and it will hit your spirit, it will
18:09
Speaker 1: hit your soul, and you will realize that He's the
18:11
Speaker 1: only one who can forgive you for certain things that
18:14
Speaker 1: you have done in your life and I have done
18:16
Speaker 1: in my life. I know a lot of people are
18:19
Speaker 1: probably still offended. A lot of people are still mad
18:22
Speaker 1: at me for things I did before Christ saved my life. Amen,
18:26
Speaker 1: And they're still probably harboring unforgiveness. And am I responsible
18:30
Speaker 1: for that. No, I trigger that I'm cleansed from all
18:33
Speaker 1: on righteousness, But what about them? So if I don't
18:36
Speaker 1: forgive and go about this life in a state of
18:38
Speaker 1: holy ghost forgiveness a man, a lot of people won't
18:41
Speaker 1: understand what we're trying to say here if we don't
18:44
Speaker 1: forgive others. Now, Brandon has a I'm in here. It's
18:49
Speaker 1: amazing how you said in the beginning that two people
18:52
Speaker 1: can receive a different message from the same verse, And
18:55
Speaker 1: right now the Psalm is speaking to me in a
18:58
Speaker 1: beautiful way, Glory to God. Amen. Amen. And I also
19:02
Speaker 1: meant it is amazing that different we could get different message.
19:06
Speaker 1: But it's the same truth. I gotta get that clear.
19:09
Speaker 1: It's the same truth. All right. We rightly divide the
19:12
Speaker 1: word of God. But God will speak to you individually,
19:15
Speaker 1: will speak to us individually according to what we're going
19:18
Speaker 1: through right now in real time in our life. And
19:21
Speaker 1: it's all true. Amen, It's all true. Don't ask me
19:24
Speaker 1: how it works. Amen. Thank you Brandon for your comment.
19:27
Speaker 1: Don't ask me how it works. I just know it works,
19:29
Speaker 1: and I know it's real, and I know it's true.
19:32
Speaker 1: You do a Bible study with two more people will
19:35
Speaker 1: read the same passage. There won't be a disagreement, but
19:38
Speaker 1: there'll be revelation. Amen, upon revelation, upon revelation. You could
19:42
Speaker 1: read a scripture in the Bible John three sixteen, for instance.
19:44
Speaker 1: For God so loved the world right that he gave
19:47
Speaker 1: his only begond Son, that whosoever believes in him shall
19:50
Speaker 1: not perish, but have everlasting life. That speaks to so
19:55
Speaker 1: many different in different ways, to different people. But it's
19:58
Speaker 1: the same truth. I hope get what I'm saying. Amen,
20:02
Speaker 1: How about this point? Isaiah chapter thirty eight, verse seventeen.
20:06
Speaker 1: Isaiah thirty eight seventeen. The Word of God says, surely
20:09
Speaker 1: it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish.
20:13
Speaker 1: In your love, you kept me from the pit of destruction.
20:17
Speaker 1: You have put all my sins behind your back, all forgiveness,
20:22
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. God is not looking at what we did.
20:26
Speaker 1: Look what you did. Look what you did, Look what
20:27
Speaker 1: you did. Now you're gonna be punished. People think that
20:31
Speaker 1: God is a punishing God, not realizing that Jesus took
20:35
Speaker 1: the punishment all and the sins upon himself. Yet he
20:38
Speaker 1: did not deserve to be punished. Number one, and he
20:41
Speaker 1: never sinned. Number two. But yet he took that upon
20:44
Speaker 1: himself once for all, that whosoever believes in him will
20:49
Speaker 1: be saved, forgiven and forgiven, saved, born again, transform, renewed, restored, redeemed.
20:55
Speaker 1: A man. He's gotta to read. He redoes our life, Amen,
21:00
Speaker 1: and sets it back to how it was originally supposed
21:02
Speaker 1: to be. Right, clean and close. We are in Christ.
21:06
Speaker 1: We're on communion with God through Jesus through his Holy Spirit, Amen.
21:11
Speaker 1: Romans eight one and two. Romans Chapter e verses one
21:14
Speaker 1: and two. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those
21:20
Speaker 1: who are in Christ Jesus. You're not condemned for not tithing.
21:24
Speaker 1: You're not condemned for not attending church services when you're
21:27
Speaker 1: supposed to be there. You're not condemned for people that
21:31
Speaker 1: want you to do certain things for the Kingdom of
21:34
Speaker 1: God and you are not available. You're not condemned. You're
21:37
Speaker 1: not condemned for making a mistake. You're not condemned for
21:41
Speaker 1: sinning yesterday, or if you sin today. You're not condemned
21:44
Speaker 1: for those things. Why Because through Christ Jesus, the law
21:49
Speaker 1: of the Spirit of life sets you free, set me
21:53
Speaker 1: free from the law of sin and death? Why are
21:57
Speaker 1: we following the law of Moses if we're set free
22:00
Speaker 1: from the law of sin and death? Because what does
22:03
Speaker 1: the law remind us of the law of Moses, the
22:07
Speaker 1: vitical law, what, however you want to call it. What
22:09
Speaker 1: does that law remind us of? It reminds us of
22:11
Speaker 1: our failures, It reminds us of our shortcomings. It reminds
22:15
Speaker 1: us of our sin. Did Jesus come to remind us
22:18
Speaker 1: of our sin? What was the first thing that Jesus
22:21
Speaker 1: preached when he came into his earthly ministry? The first
22:25
Speaker 1: thing that he preached, Amen. I think it was repentance.
22:30
Speaker 1: Repent for the Kingdom of God is near. It's here,
22:32
Speaker 1: it's close. Amen, Repent from your what your sins? Why?
22:37
Speaker 1: Because He's the one who could forgive you for your sins.
22:40
Speaker 1: If you read through the Gospels, he forgave people for
22:44
Speaker 1: their sins. He forgave sin, he said, and go sin
22:47
Speaker 1: no more. Sometimes he would say the power to do that,
22:51
Speaker 1: only God could do that, because he's God out of
22:54
Speaker 1: the flesh. Amen. So don't condemn yourself. I know some
22:58
Speaker 1: people that have this thing about oh man, I failed
23:03
Speaker 1: join the team. I think we all fall short of
23:06
Speaker 1: the glory standards of God. But we're not condemned. Once
23:10
Speaker 1: you're born again, there's no more condination. You know, when
23:14
Speaker 1: we were condemned, we were condemned for rejecting the Gospel.
23:18
Speaker 1: We were condemned for not believing in the Lord Jesus Christ.
23:20
Speaker 1: We were condemned already, But now there's no condination. Unforgiveness
23:26
Speaker 1: is a bad thing for a soul. It's like cancer
23:29
Speaker 1: to our soul. Forgiveness, complete forgiveness, is a God message
23:33
Speaker 1: to us. It's a message of hope. It's a message
23:36
Speaker 1: of grace. It's a message of love. It's a message
23:39
Speaker 1: of eternity. Eternal life is a message of salvation, is
23:43
Speaker 1: a message of the Word in us. Is a message
23:46
Speaker 1: to remind us of who we are and whose we
23:48
Speaker 1: are in Christ, our identities found and around our identities
23:53
Speaker 1: found in Christ. There's forgiveness. If you're walking around with
23:57
Speaker 1: things and chips on your shoulders and you're not talking
24:00
Speaker 1: this one, talking to that one, Amen, And it goes
24:02
Speaker 1: from me too. I'm talking to myself too. Then I'm
24:05
Speaker 1: walking around thinking I'm above what God's word says. And
24:09
Speaker 1: there's no way that I'm above what God's Word says,
24:12
Speaker 1: I'm a part of what God is speaking. I'm a
24:14
Speaker 1: part of the Word. We're a body of Christ. We
24:17
Speaker 1: are in this together. We help each other. We don't
24:19
Speaker 1: throw stones at one another, and we don't condemn one another.
24:22
Speaker 1: We could judge rightly. Amen, if you were born again believer,
24:26
Speaker 1: I'm a born again believer, we could judge each other rightly.
24:29
Speaker 1: You're not gonna let me go into all kinds of
24:31
Speaker 1: sin and not say nothing to say, Oh, I can't
24:33
Speaker 1: judge Sam, and vice versa. If I see you into
24:37
Speaker 1: some kind of crazy sin, I'm a lovingly and gently
24:40
Speaker 1: say hey, you're going in the wrong direction. Come back
24:43
Speaker 1: to the right. You know your right path? Amen? Why?
24:46
Speaker 1: Because sin is all around us, but sin is not
24:49
Speaker 1: in us? Challenge that in the word of God. Once
24:53
Speaker 1: you're born again, can you say that sin is still
24:55
Speaker 1: in you, that there's a problem with Holy Spirit? Then?
24:58
Speaker 1: Because Holy Spirit in us. Every single believer has Holy
25:02
Speaker 1: Spirit God living inside of us. So how are we
25:04
Speaker 1: saying that we're still sinners? It's those type of things
25:08
Speaker 1: got into the church, right, and we still say these things.
25:13
Speaker 1: I don't know why, a man, I'm still asking God, well,
25:16
Speaker 1: how did that creep into the church. I know the
25:19
Speaker 1: the scripture for it, but it's not coming to my
25:21
Speaker 1: mind right now. Holy Spirit's not speaking what that scripture
25:24
Speaker 1: is to me right now. Sure people know what those
25:26
Speaker 1: scriptures are about. How all of this is crept in
25:30
Speaker 1: into the way of thinking of a person that's born again? Amen,
25:34
Speaker 1: I know the devil's a liar. We know that to
25:36
Speaker 1: be true. The devil is a liar. And if you
25:39
Speaker 1: allow him to speak to you, Amen, you'll be still
25:43
Speaker 1: not understanding the complete work of Jesus Christ, the complete forgiveness.
25:48
Speaker 1: And we already read it in Psalm eighty six and five.
25:51
Speaker 1: How about this one, Isaiah, chapter forty three, verse twenty five.
25:59
Speaker 1: I I am he who blots out your transgressions for
26:04
Speaker 1: my own sake and remembers your sins. No more. God
26:09
Speaker 1: doesn't have any issues remembering as if I have Alzheimer's.
26:18
Speaker 1: He has full memory. He chooses, according to the scriptures,
26:22
Speaker 1: to remember your sins. No more. So. If he chooses
26:26
Speaker 1: to remember your sins, no more, that's a God thing.
26:29
Speaker 1: I don't believe any human can do that. I remember
26:33
Speaker 1: what I did before Christ, Amen, the things that I
26:36
Speaker 1: did to hurt other people. How I was hurt. I
26:39
Speaker 1: remember those things, and it's hard for me to just
26:42
Speaker 1: throw them behind my back like God does and not
26:46
Speaker 1: remember them anymore, especially when those consequences are still in motion,
26:51
Speaker 1: are still in play. Things that I did thirty years ago,
26:55
Speaker 1: forty years ago. Amen, the consequences of those things are
27:00
Speaker 1: so that work. But you know what's not at work.
27:02
Speaker 1: The sin in those consequences are not at work. They're
27:05
Speaker 1: dead but dead man walking. I'm dead to sin and
27:08
Speaker 1: I'm alive in Christ, and so is every single person
27:11
Speaker 1: that's born again. You're dead at sin and alive in Christ.
27:15
Speaker 1: So if you're dead to something, how could you be
27:17
Speaker 1: that same thing that you're dead to? There you go,
27:20
Speaker 1: that's a good one. Oh, I'm a sinner still, I'm
27:23
Speaker 1: born again. I'm still a sinner. Well, you're dead at sin.
27:26
Speaker 1: So who are you serving? A dead corpse or a
27:30
Speaker 1: living God? That corpse is the sin? Oh, but I
27:34
Speaker 1: gotta follow the law. I gotta tithe. I have to
27:36
Speaker 1: do this. I have to do that. Well, who you're following?
27:40
Speaker 1: What law? You're following the law of Moses or the
27:42
Speaker 1: law of the Lord. And people are gonna be like,
27:45
Speaker 1: that's the same thing I beg to differ. It's not
27:48
Speaker 1: the same thing. We have a new covenant, and the
27:51
Speaker 1: Bible actually says it's a better promise, a better covenant.
27:55
Speaker 1: So I have no reason to believe that we have
27:58
Speaker 1: to be in the Law of Moses and the low
28:00
Speaker 1: of the Lord, and then we have to combine them
28:02
Speaker 1: and then take some of the Law of Moses and
28:04
Speaker 1: take some of the Lord of the Lord, and some
28:07
Speaker 1: somehow try to make a transfusion or try to fusion
28:11
Speaker 1: them together to live this so called holy life. No,
28:15
Speaker 1: I think we just need to follow the Word the
28:17
Speaker 1: way it's written, and the complete forgiveness of God through
28:20
Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus, Amen, is available to every single one
28:23
Speaker 1: of us, and we can move forward, not backwards. Amen.
28:27
Speaker 1: Moses is buried, Jesus is still alive, and he's coming back.
28:31
Speaker 1: So you make the choice. You make the decision complete
28:34
Speaker 1: forgiveness Psalm Shot the eighty six. Read the whole song
28:37
Speaker 1: for yourself. But I'm out of time, so let me
28:40
Speaker 1: send you off with a blessing. Thank you so much
28:41
Speaker 1: for hanging out with me for these morning DeVos. It's
28:44
Speaker 1: a pleasure, Amen, in his humbling experience, to know that
28:47
Speaker 1: people want to get in the Word of God with
28:49
Speaker 1: me first thing in the morning. So God bless you all,
28:52
Speaker 1: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good.
28:56
Speaker 1: Pace
