- 1:02Speaker 1: this another edition of End Time Revival Ministries USA podcast.
- 1:07Speaker 1: I am your host, Pastor al Zachary, And again we
- 1:12Speaker 1: are grateful to the Lord for a man allowing us
- 1:15Speaker 1: to be alive to witness in our day the fulfillment
- 1:22Speaker 1: of scriptures, a man, the word of prophecy, that is,
- 1:27Speaker 1: a man being fulfilled even as we speak, a man,
- 1:31Speaker 1: as we draw closer and closer to the coming of
- 1:34Speaker 1: the Lord. And we want to be ready a man
- 1:38Speaker 1: whenever that time comes when the day of the Lord Amen,
- 1:42Speaker 1: takes place, if you will, gets under way, of course,
- 1:46Speaker 1: precipitated by the rapture of the Church, and we are
- 1:50Speaker 1: to be looking for him, looking and living in an
- 1:56Speaker 1: anticipation of his return. It is imminent, Amen, it is
- 2:01Speaker 1: even at the door a man. We don't know today,
- 2:04Speaker 1: we don't know the hour. But the Lord, our God,
- 2:07Speaker 1: our Savior, is soon to return for his church and
- 2:13Speaker 1: the end of this age. Amen. But we need a
- 2:17Speaker 1: man to a man, prepare our hearts and always again
- 2:21Speaker 1: be vigilant. The Word tells us be sober, because your adversary,
- 2:27Speaker 1: the devil, goes about as a roaring lion, seeking whom
- 2:32Speaker 1: he made devour. And that is what we're going to
- 2:35Speaker 1: kind of lean into a little bit today about this
- 2:39Speaker 1: deception that is in our world and what we need
- 2:43Speaker 1: to overcome, Amen, and to be again found worthy to
- 2:48Speaker 1: escape these things that are coming to pass. And what
- 2:51Speaker 1: we're going to focus on is the guide to all truth.
- 2:58Speaker 1: We have the guide to all truth. And we need
- 3:04Speaker 1: not God's people need not, should not, dare not, must
- 3:09Speaker 1: not be deceived let astray by the error of the wicked. Again,
- 3:15Speaker 1: we're in the Gospel of John chapter sixteen. And before
- 3:18Speaker 1: we begin reading, there would take just a moment a man,
- 3:21Speaker 1: as we invoke the presence and the power of the Lord.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Father again, we acknowledge you, the Hope of glory, the
- 3:29Speaker 1: creator of all things, the God who keeps us, who
- 3:34Speaker 1: sustains us, who supplies all of our needs. We bless you,
- 3:37Speaker 1: We honor you. Thank you for healing and hope. Thank
- 3:40Speaker 1: you for amen your great sacrifice, the blood that was
- 3:44Speaker 1: shed for the permission of our sins. Thank you for
- 3:47Speaker 1: calling us to this great gospel, this great salvation that
- 3:52Speaker 1: is in Christ, Jesus our Lord. And we pray even
- 3:55Speaker 1: now that somewhere someone would hear the voice of the
- 3:59Speaker 1: Savior knocking at the door of their heart. Then they
- 4:03Speaker 1: will open and allow you to come in and suck
- 4:07Speaker 1: with them, and be in them, and lead them and
- 4:09Speaker 1: guide them and protect them and direct them in the
- 4:12Speaker 1: way that they should go. Father, we give you praise
- 4:15Speaker 1: and glory and honor and all things. Help us now,
- 4:18Speaker 1: bless us now in Jesus name, we pray give thanks,
- 4:21Speaker 1: Amen and amen. All right, amen, the guide to all truth,
- 4:30Speaker 1: the truth is here, and the truth, of course has
- 4:34Speaker 1: always been here. However, they are too stubborn, if you will,
- 4:40Speaker 1: obstacles obstructing man from receiving and obeying the truth. Obstruction
- 4:48Speaker 1: number one is the desperately wicked heart of man. The
- 4:55Speaker 1: heart of man is his number one enemy, obstructing him
- 5:03Speaker 1: from living in and walking in the truth. Obstruction number
- 5:08Speaker 1: two is the Father of lies, Satan, that old serpent,
- 5:14Speaker 1: the devil, the father of lies, the deceiver, the master deceiver,
- 5:20Speaker 1: a man, he is a master of deception and delusion,
- 5:25Speaker 1: and he, of course has a whole host of demons,
- 5:29Speaker 1: a man who also a man, work alongside him in
- 5:35Speaker 1: the kingdom of darkness. And the world has forever been
- 5:38Speaker 1: a falling world of lies and deception. And this course
- 5:42Speaker 1: took place from the very moment that man, a man,
- 5:46Speaker 1: took that fall, if you will, in the garden of Eden,
- 5:49Speaker 1: when he disobeyed God, a man. And it is still occurring,
- 5:56Speaker 1: this falling world of lies and deception. Up until this
- 6:00Speaker 1: very moment in time, Amen, truth has been evaded by man.
- 6:08Speaker 1: We don't want it, we don't want it, and it
- 6:12Speaker 1: leaves man vulnerable and susceptible, of course, to all of
- 6:17Speaker 1: the delusion. A man that comes again from this masterful
- 6:23Speaker 1: Father of lies, the devil falling man, by the way, again,
- 6:29Speaker 1: that we were not. You know, it's not all the
- 6:32Speaker 1: devil a man. The Bible tell Jesus said this, it's
- 6:36Speaker 1: the heart of man. The Bible says, the heart of
- 6:38Speaker 1: man is desperately wicked. And Jesus says, out of the
- 6:41Speaker 1: heart proceed all of these things, including lies. We self deceived.
- 6:47Speaker 1: There is se the Bible who I could just take
- 6:50Speaker 1: time just on that alone, the self deception that's in
- 6:54Speaker 1: our world. Amen. But falling man loves lies. The world
- 7:02Speaker 1: is saturated with it. Amen. And the Word of God
- 7:05Speaker 1: tells us by the way that the wicked are exchanged
- 7:09Speaker 1: from the womb. They go astray as soon as they
- 7:15Speaker 1: are born, speaking lies. The poisonous venom of vipers is
- 7:23Speaker 1: under their lips. Amen. The deceiver, the lying that they
- 7:29Speaker 1: do it proliferates in the world because again, people prefer
- 7:35Speaker 1: they actually want it. They don't want the truth. There's
- 7:38Speaker 1: an old one of my this is, by the way,
- 7:41Speaker 1: my favorite movie of all times, A Few Good Men.
- 7:47Speaker 1: What everyone that knows about this movie? Of course, you
- 7:49Speaker 1: know the most infamous line, one of the most infamous lines,
- 7:54Speaker 1: and all of you know movie history. I guess you
- 7:58Speaker 1: could call it. Amen, You you can't handle the truth.
- 8:03Speaker 1: People don't want it. They don't not only they want
- 8:05Speaker 1: knowing a handle, they don't want it. They don't want it.
- 8:09Speaker 1: So they prefer to live a lie rather than receiving,
- 8:14Speaker 1: believing and living in liberating truth and the truth that
- 8:21Speaker 1: Jesus speaks of. Amen, that he alone liberates man from.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Jesus said, Amen, the truth makes you free, he whom
- 8:32Speaker 1: the Son sets and by the way Jesus is truth,
- 8:35Speaker 1: the way truth and life. Amen. And he whom the
- 8:38Speaker 1: Son sets free is free. Indeed, But this deception that's
- 8:43Speaker 1: in our world is so pervasive, and it is also
- 8:47Speaker 1: persuasive in swallowing up mankind, that if we were left
- 8:54Speaker 1: to fend for truth of our own abilities a man,
- 9:00Speaker 1: we would easily alo so easily be overwhelmed and swallowed
- 9:06Speaker 1: up by that wily devil. Again, he has a masterful
- 9:13Speaker 1: bag of tricks. And by the way he and and
- 9:17Speaker 1: if you if you get to understand and know and
- 9:20Speaker 1: know how he operates, he doesn't he doesn't really change
- 9:24Speaker 1: because what he does is so effective a man, he
- 9:29Speaker 1: doesn't really change. He has the same approach. He takes
- 9:34Speaker 1: the word of God he'll he'll use the word of
- 9:37Speaker 1: God and ever so slightly masterfully slip in a falsehood
- 9:46Speaker 1: and get you to go along with it. This is
- 9:50Speaker 1: what he did, of course, in the garden of Eden
- 9:52Speaker 1: with Eve. Amen. He took the word of God and
- 9:56Speaker 1: and she added to it, Amen, and and said that
- 10:00Speaker 1: God said, don't touch it, don't touch it. That but
- 10:03Speaker 1: that's not See, he wants to build up this kind
- 10:06Speaker 1: of animosity toward God is as if God is is
- 10:10Speaker 1: is it's a cosmic uh, watch dog who's waiting for
- 10:16Speaker 1: you to slip up, mess up so he can just
- 10:19Speaker 1: smack you down. And uh. And he's just trying to
- 10:23Speaker 1: restrict you, restrict your freedom and now allow you to,
- 10:28Speaker 1: you know, just do whatever you want and live how
- 10:30Speaker 1: you want to live, and and and and and so uh.
- 10:35Speaker 1: He wants, uh, the devil that is wants you to
- 10:40Speaker 1: free yourself, be yourself, love yourself, indulge yourself, all of that, hey, man,
- 10:49Speaker 1: And so he deceives, He masterfully deceives man into believing
- 10:55Speaker 1: that God is the enemy and that he is the
- 11:00Speaker 1: one who actually liberates you. And so man, out of
- 11:07Speaker 1: his heart that's already by the way, exchanged from God.
- 11:12Speaker 1: We come here as enemies of God. We are haters
- 11:17Speaker 1: of God. By nature, the Bible tells us this. This
- 11:19Speaker 1: is all I don't have time. I'm not gonna take
- 11:21Speaker 1: the time to go through all of that. But by
- 11:24Speaker 1: nature we are children of wrath, the Bible tells us.
- 11:28Speaker 1: And so we already on our own. And by the way,
- 11:33Speaker 1: let me just give you one quick example of this
- 11:38Speaker 1: that we'll see. Well, we won't be here for this,
- 11:41Speaker 1: but this is going to be in the very end
- 11:44Speaker 1: of time, after the millennial reign. And you know, Satan
- 11:48Speaker 1: has been been locked up, as it were, for a
- 11:52Speaker 1: thousand years. The Bible says, he is going to after
- 11:55Speaker 1: a thousand years of man living in the world without
- 11:58Speaker 1: the devil without saying Amen, he's going to be released
- 12:05Speaker 1: from his prison, and he's going to deceive. Now again
- 12:13Speaker 1: a long way too deep in this, but it just
- 12:16Speaker 1: goes to show you how vulnerable and gullible that man
- 12:21Speaker 1: can be when you combine the deception of their own
- 12:26Speaker 1: heart with the potency of the trickery of the devil. Amen,
- 12:31Speaker 1: and if we if again, if we did not have,
- 12:37Speaker 1: if we were left to our own and if we
- 12:40Speaker 1: do not have this, you know this God that God
- 12:44Speaker 1: has given us to all truth that we're gonna talk
- 12:46Speaker 1: to talk about just a minute. We didn't have that.
- 12:49Speaker 1: If we were left to our own devices, our own abilities,
- 12:53Speaker 1: we would easily be overwhelmed by this wily old serpent,
- 12:59Speaker 1: the devil. But thanks me to God, he did not
- 13:03Speaker 1: leave us with this sad if you will, state of hopelessness.
- 13:09Speaker 1: What we have, on the other hand, is the person
- 13:14Speaker 1: and the presence of the Holy Spirit that is sent
- 13:17Speaker 1: from Jesus, by the way, a man who is God's
- 13:23Speaker 1: Spirit of truth, who leads us. The Bible tells us
- 13:27Speaker 1: that we're going to see and guides us into all truth.
- 13:32Speaker 1: And this aspect, this attribute, if you will, this ministry
- 13:36Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit is what we're going to focus on,
- 13:39Speaker 1: him being the guide into all truth. I love what
- 13:44Speaker 1: the Bible tells us. By the way, the Old Testament
- 13:46Speaker 1: no weapon formed against us. The people of God can prosper.
- 13:52Speaker 1: The deception of lies is a weapon. Oh, this is
- 13:56Speaker 1: one of the devil's most potent weapons. This deception of
- 14:01Speaker 1: lies is a weapon that is deployed by the enemy
- 14:07Speaker 1: to lure us away. Now he already has the world.
- 14:11Speaker 1: They're already under his way. They are already under his control.
- 14:15Speaker 1: He simply has to keep them, keep them back from
- 14:19Speaker 1: learning and knowing and embracing and living in the truth.
- 14:24Speaker 1: So they're already in his camp. But he also seeks
- 14:27Speaker 1: to lure us away a man from the truth and
- 14:31Speaker 1: the freedom that we enjoy in Christ. Jesus, our Lord,
- 14:36Speaker 1: we have the witness of the Greater One inside of us,
- 14:39Speaker 1: and we're going to read about that in just a
- 14:41Speaker 1: few minutes as well. But we have the witness, the
- 14:45Speaker 1: testimony of the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of the Living God,
- 14:48Speaker 1: the Comforter, the God to all truth, living inside of us.
- 14:54Speaker 1: And he keeps us from falling for the deception of
- 15:01Speaker 1: the Father of Lies. John's Gospel, chapter sixteen. But you
- 15:06Speaker 1: hear these words as Jesus speaks a man about the Comforter,
- 15:10Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, who is coming, who will be sent
- 15:15Speaker 1: a man as he prepares to depart out of the world. Nevertheless,
- 15:19Speaker 1: Verse number seven, Chapter sixteen. I tell you the truth.
- 15:22Speaker 1: It is to your advantage that I go away, For
- 15:25Speaker 1: if I do not go away, the Hepper will not
- 15:28Speaker 1: come to you. But if I depart, I will send
- 15:31Speaker 1: him to you. And when he has come, he will
- 15:35Speaker 1: convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Of sin because they do not believe in me. Of
- 15:42Speaker 1: righteousness because I go to my father and you see
- 15:45Speaker 1: me no more. Of judgment, because the ruler of this
- 15:51Speaker 1: world is judged. I still have many things to say
- 15:56Speaker 1: to you, but you cannot bear them. Now. However, look
- 16:00Speaker 1: at verse thirteen. Hear it carefully. When he the spirit
- 16:06Speaker 1: of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth.
- 16:18Speaker 1: I love it. I love it, for he will not
- 16:21Speaker 1: speak of his or on his own authority. But whatever
- 16:25Speaker 1: he hears, he will speak, and he will tell you
- 16:30Speaker 1: things to come. He will glorify me, for he will
- 16:37Speaker 1: take of what is mine and declare it to you.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Every single day, ladies and gentlemen, every single day that
- 16:51Speaker 1: passes in our world is a day in which spirits
- 16:54Speaker 1: of deception are leading the blind down the path. Of course,
- 17:00Speaker 1: the Bible speaks of that leads to destruction. Blind leading
- 17:04Speaker 1: blind both fall into the ditch. And with the multitude
- 17:08Speaker 1: of spirits that are prevalent in the world, the words
- 17:12Speaker 1: of Jesus concerning Amen, the Holy Spirit, whom he would
- 17:17Speaker 1: send to his disciples, it gives us the assurance we
- 17:26Speaker 1: need not to be led astray with the error of
- 17:32Speaker 1: the blind, who, again, Jesus says, fall into the ditch
- 17:38Speaker 1: because they're being led by the blind. They've been led
- 17:41Speaker 1: by again the deception, the delusion, Amen, by the Father
- 17:48Speaker 1: of lies. The Bible speaks of, you know, people in
- 17:52Speaker 1: this world being tossed to and fro and carried about
- 17:56Speaker 1: with every wind of doctrine. Amen. But we are not no, no, no,
- 18:00Speaker 1: we not the people of God. We are not to
- 18:02Speaker 1: be of that a man crowd, of that people, of
- 18:08Speaker 1: that deception. Amen. Jesus gave to his disciples distinctive attributes
- 18:14Speaker 1: and activities of the Holy Spirit that uniquely sets the
- 18:19Speaker 1: character and the ministry of the Holy Spirit apart from
- 18:22Speaker 1: any other spirit that would surely go out into the
- 18:27Speaker 1: world to deceive, As the Bible speaks of it, this way,
- 18:32Speaker 1: if possible, the very elect. But thanks pay to God Again,
- 18:38Speaker 1: it is not possible that God's elect, God's chosen, God's people,
- 18:45Speaker 1: God's saints, who will be preserved Amen, by the power
- 18:49Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit. It's not possible that they can
- 18:54Speaker 1: and will be or could be deceived. Amen. Because those
- 18:59Speaker 1: who are truly baptized into Christ by His Spirit, we
- 19:03Speaker 1: need not be troubled about being deceived by these anti
- 19:06Speaker 1: Christ spirits that have long, by the way, been in
- 19:11Speaker 1: the world opposing God's people. We have within us the
- 19:16Speaker 1: guide to all truth, and that's what we need again
- 19:24Speaker 1: in and of our own ability. You know, some people
- 19:27Speaker 1: think they're smart and crafty. They they taking out maneuver
- 19:30Speaker 1: the devil, not realizing they're playing right into his hand,
- 19:37Speaker 1: right into his scheme. Amen, his wily trickery. Amen, they're
- 19:44Speaker 1: playing right into it. Amen. The Devil's been at this
- 19:48Speaker 1: a long time, y'all. He's been He's a crafty, wily Amen,
- 19:54Speaker 1: slippery serpent. Amen. And you need to underst stand, by
- 20:00Speaker 1: the way, man is made a little lower than the angels.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Angels have power and attributes and abilities that we don't possess.
- 20:10Speaker 1: We simply don't. We're all creatures. They are creatures. They
- 20:15Speaker 1: don't have nowhere near. Ladies and gentlemen, never ever think
- 20:18Speaker 1: for one moment that the devil is God's opposite equal.
- 20:22Speaker 1: He is not. He is a creature. He's a falling creature.
- 20:26Speaker 1: He's on a leash. He only has limited power. All
- 20:31Speaker 1: power belongs to Jesus. He said, all power and heaven
- 20:35Speaker 1: and earth is in my hands. Anything that the devil does,
- 20:41Speaker 1: anything that he is able to do, whatever power and
- 20:45Speaker 1: ability that he has is restricted by God. He has
- 20:51Speaker 1: to get permission. Oh, I wish I had the time
- 20:53Speaker 1: Old I could show you. I could show you in
- 20:56Speaker 1: the scriptures. Amen, we know about job and we know
- 20:59Speaker 1: of the Amen. Again, these spirits and demons. If you
- 21:04Speaker 1: know your Old Testament, for example, the example of this
- 21:08Speaker 1: lying spirit that had to get permission, say to himself,
- 21:12Speaker 1: had to get permission. They have been deceived by his awn.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Again starts with his own heart. You can read this
- 21:18Speaker 1: for yourself. It starts the fall of a have that
- 21:22Speaker 1: would led to his death. He didn't want to receive
- 21:25Speaker 1: the truth. He wanted to believe the lie, Amen, and
- 21:29Speaker 1: it led to his demise. God sent the truth, but
- 21:33Speaker 1: there was a lying spirit Amen, that got permission from heaven.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Oh my God. One of the most powerful examples of
- 21:42Speaker 1: how demonic forces at work and operating. But again they're restrained.
- 21:48Speaker 1: That's the point. That's what we need to understand. It's
- 21:51Speaker 1: people of God. You cannot and will not be deceived
- 21:55Speaker 1: by the wicked, by the error, by the deception, by
- 21:59Speaker 1: the delusion, by the devil, by his trickery, as long
- 22:03Speaker 1: as the guide to all truth is living in you. Amen.
- 22:11Speaker 1: This is the promise that we have a man from
- 22:16Speaker 1: the Lord. Amen. And so in these few verses that
- 22:21Speaker 1: we just read from the text of John sixteen, Jesus
- 22:25Speaker 1: distinctly describes for us several things the Holy Spirit would
- 22:32Speaker 1: perform ministering within the lives of those who have His
- 22:39Speaker 1: Holy Spirit within them. Of course, number one, what would
- 22:44Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit be doing in us? For us, the
- 22:48Speaker 1: Bible says, he will bring conviction. Amen. That's so important
- 22:52Speaker 1: for us, by the way, as the people of God.
- 22:54Speaker 1: And just just aside, if you will just thought about this.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Of course, Holy shap works within us when we sin
- 23:02Speaker 1: and fall short of the glory of God. And none
- 23:05Speaker 1: there none that have not sinned. Amen. When we I'm
- 23:09Speaker 1: talking about the people of God, when we sin and
- 23:11Speaker 1: fall short of the glory of God. The Bible tells
- 23:13Speaker 1: us we have an advocate with the Father of Jesus
- 23:14Speaker 1: Christ the Righteous, And because of the presence of his
- 23:17Speaker 1: Holy Spirit that works in us. He disciplines us, he
- 23:21Speaker 1: chastens us, he corrects us, he brings conviction to our heart.
- 23:26Speaker 1: And we then run and we come boldly to the
- 23:32Speaker 1: throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find
- 23:35Speaker 1: grace to help in this time of need. But the
- 23:38Speaker 1: Holy Spirit Number one, he will bring conviction. Jesus says,
- 23:43Speaker 1: he will convict the world of sin and of righteousness
- 23:46Speaker 1: and of judgment. But number two is the one we
- 23:49Speaker 1: want to hone in on and focus in on. Amen
- 23:54Speaker 1: for today, for us to understand that we have the
- 23:58Speaker 1: guide the God into all truth. Number two, What the
- 24:04Speaker 1: Holy Spirit will do in us, Jesus says, he will
- 24:12Speaker 1: guide you into all truth. And by the way, as
- 24:19Speaker 1: I've already said, the Holy Spirit never ever contradicts the
- 24:24Speaker 1: word of the Lord. The Holy Spirit never leads anyone
- 24:30Speaker 1: contrary to the word of God or to the will
- 24:32Speaker 1: of God. The Holy Spirit always guides men into the truth,
- 24:40Speaker 1: all truth. The truth is what will lead men to freedom,
- 24:48Speaker 1: and deception, on the other hand, is what leads men
- 24:53Speaker 1: further into the yoke of bondage. The Holy Spirit is
- 25:00Speaker 1: the guide to all truth. If you do not have
- 25:06Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, you will not have discernment, you will
- 25:10Speaker 1: not have wisdom, you will not have the perception. Amen,
- 25:15Speaker 1: the word that you need. Amen. The power and the
- 25:20Speaker 1: effectiveness of this Amen, Holy Amen, comforter a man speaking
- 25:27Speaker 1: in you, leading you, protecting you. Amen. You need the
- 25:31Speaker 1: Holy Spirit to guide you. We live in a world
- 25:37Speaker 1: of deception and delusion. Amen. And Jesus makes the point.
- 25:45Speaker 1: And then we need to, I mean, we need to
- 25:48Speaker 1: really really embrace this and understand again that we are
- 25:53Speaker 1: buddy in the hands of the devil. If you don't
- 25:59Speaker 1: have the Holy Amen, you will be led us straight,
- 26:05Speaker 1: you will be tossed to and fra But the Holy
- 26:09Speaker 1: Spirit always leads and guide men into the truth. The
- 26:17Speaker 1: truth about Jesus, the truth about salvation, the truth about Heaven,
- 26:21Speaker 1: the truth about God, the truth about the judgment, the
- 26:23Speaker 1: truth about the wrath of God, the truth about the
- 26:26Speaker 1: depravity of man, the truth about our need for a
- 26:29Speaker 1: savior of redeemer, the truth about the blood, the atoning
- 26:34Speaker 1: sacrifice of Jesus, everything, all of it. The Holy Spirit
- 26:40Speaker 1: leads us into all truth. Jesus then said he will
- 26:46Speaker 1: not speak on his own authority, just as Jesus spoke
- 26:49Speaker 1: on the authority of the Word of God, that is
- 26:51Speaker 1: already long ago, any eternity past, settled in the heavens.
- 26:55Speaker 1: In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God,
- 26:57Speaker 1: the Word was God, God's word, will not can does
- 27:00Speaker 1: not change. It's settled. Jesus spoke on the authority of
- 27:06Speaker 1: the word soul. Does the Holy Spirit he speaks on
- 27:13Speaker 1: the authority of that same word. He is the authorized
- 27:16Speaker 1: agent of the Triune God at work in this world
- 27:21Speaker 1: bringing men to repentance and salvation. That is exclusively in
- 27:29Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. He will not speak on his own authority.
- 27:36Speaker 1: And then Jesus says, whatever he hears, he will speak.
- 27:40Speaker 1: He will tell you things to come. And by the way,
- 27:43Speaker 1: let me just say this very quickly. The true test
- 27:45Speaker 1: of prophecy of a prophet is what is spoken, does
- 27:54Speaker 1: it come to pass? Jesus says, he the Holy Spirit,
- 28:00Speaker 1: by the way, who he bears witness to the prophets,
- 28:03Speaker 1: he bears witness to the scriptures. He never ever contradicts
- 28:09Speaker 1: anybody that comes up with these fantasies about things that
- 28:13Speaker 1: are coming to pass. And these things are in direct
- 28:17Speaker 1: contradiction to what the Word of God speaks. It is not,
- 28:24Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit, the
- 28:29Speaker 1: Spirit of the Living God, is also referred to as
- 28:31Speaker 1: the spirit of prophecy. Jesus that's why he says he
- 28:35Speaker 1: will tell you things to come. And he's certainly testifying
- 28:40Speaker 1: that as Jesus did, the day of the Lord will come,
- 28:47Speaker 1: the rapture of the Church will take place. We will
- 28:51Speaker 1: be changed, we will be caught up, we will be
- 28:54Speaker 1: taken out of here, and the day of the Lord
- 28:57Speaker 1: again will come. That's the spirit of prophecy. Amen. Then
- 29:01Speaker 1: Jesus goes on to say he will glorify me. The
- 29:05Speaker 1: spirit of truth again, never speaks disparagingly of Jesus. No man,
- 29:11Speaker 1: Paul wrote to the Church, speaking by the spirit of
- 29:13Speaker 1: God calls Jesus achurse. And no man can say that
- 29:16Speaker 1: Jesus is lord except by the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit.
- 29:22Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit never contradicts what Jesus has spoke spoken
- 29:28Speaker 1: concerning himself. Amen. All of the things that Jesus said
- 29:33Speaker 1: concerning himself, the Holy Spirit never contradicts. He, on the
- 29:39Speaker 1: other hand, always glorifies Jesus. Speaks to affirm the deity
- 29:47Speaker 1: of Jesus, speaks to the glory that is due to Jesus.
- 29:52Speaker 1: And then he says, Jesus does of the Holy Spirit.
- 29:56Speaker 1: He will take of what is mind and declare it
- 29:59Speaker 1: to you again and affirming and confirming the lordship of Jesus,
- 30:09Speaker 1: the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, that he is indeed the Way,
- 30:18Speaker 1: the Truth and the Life, and the Light and the door,
- 30:24Speaker 1: and the good Shepherd, the Great. I am in the Father,
- 30:28Speaker 1: the Father in him. And if you've seen him, you've
- 30:31Speaker 1: seen the Father He, as Jesus says. And the Holy
- 30:36Speaker 1: Spirit affirms one Lord, one faith, one baptism. As Jesus said,
- 30:44Speaker 1: I and my Father are one. And there is one way,
- 30:49Speaker 1: only one way. And the Holy Spirit confirms one way
- 30:58Speaker 1: by which one name under which we must be saved.
- 31:07Speaker 1: Glory find Jesus, the name of Jesus, the salvation that's
- 31:14Speaker 1: in Jesus, the hope that's in Jesus. Thanks be to
- 31:19Speaker 1: God for his unspeakable gift of his Holy Spirit, sent
- 31:23Speaker 1: from above to ensure that those of us who are
- 31:29Speaker 1: His sheep will possess within our souls the guide to
- 31:37Speaker 1: all truth, the Holy Spirit sent from above. Father, Again,
- 31:45Speaker 1: we love you, we thank you, we bless you, we
- 31:47Speaker 1: honor you. Praises, praises, praises always to your great name
- 31:52Speaker 1: for your unspeakable gift for Jesus Christ, atoning for our sins,
- 31:57Speaker 1: taking on our guilt in transferring his righteousness to us.
- 32:03Speaker 1: And now by his Holy Spirit, with his Holy Spirit
- 32:08Speaker 1: in us, sent to us from above, we now have
- 32:12Speaker 1: the guide into all truths. Bless it be your name.
- 32:18Speaker 1: From this time forth and even forevermore open someone's eyes
- 32:22Speaker 1: to see and to come to know that you are
- 32:23Speaker 1: the true in the living God, and there is none
- 32:26Speaker 1: other beside the It's in your name, we praying your
- 32:29Speaker 1: thanks for all things. Amen and Amen.
