  John chapter 21, let us pray. O Lord, our heavenly Father, we
• 0:09
  love you. Lord Jesus, we thank you, God,
• 0:12
  for all the many blessings that you've already given us.
• 0:15
  Lord, we thank you for life and life abundant.
• 0:18
  Father, we thank you for family. Lord, we thank you for the love
• 0:22
  that we can share with each other.
• 0:24
  Lord, we thank you for community.
• 0:26
  God, we thank you for forgiving our sins.
• 0:29
  Father, we thank, thank you for life and life abundant.
• 0:31
  God, we thank you for the promise of eternity.
• 0:34
  We thank you, God that where you are we will be.
• 0:38
  Father, we thank you for all the holy scriptures of the old.
• 0:41
  We thank you for all the men and women who have gone before us,
• 0:45
  Lord who have set the table, Lord who have set the way.
• 0:49
  Lord, who have helped us, Lord, to understand all of your
• 0:53
  thoughts and your minds. Thank you God for those that
• 0:56
  have laid down their lives. God, for the good news, God of
• 1:01
  your gospel. Lord, I thank you for the Lord
• 1:03
  Jesus Christ, the chief cornerstone.
• 1:06
  Lord, everything is placed upon him.
• 1:08
  Lord, everything, Lord, seen and unseen.
• 1:11
  Lord, all of the created Father, Lord, we know is from your
• 1:18
  breath. And so Lord, we just get out of
• 1:20
  our own way. Lord, we just laid down our
• 1:24
  precepts. We laid down all of our own
• 1:26
  preconceived ideas and notions of the word of God.
• 1:31
  And Lord, we empty ourselves, of ourselves and ask you, Holy
• 1:35
  Spirit, to teach us. We ask you, Holy Spirit, to come
• 1:39
  in and give us discernment and give us the mind of Christ and
• 1:42
  help us to understand these Holy Scriptures.
• 1:45
  Help us to understand what it is that you want to say to this
• 1:49
  generation for such a day as this God, for such a time as
• 1:53
  this, Lord, we just ask that you will give us your thoughts and
• 1:58
  give us your words, Lord. Help us to obey all of the
• 2:03
  promises that you have given us in this book, God.
• 2:06
  Help us to obey and help us to know that you were near and that
• 2:10
  you're fighting our battles, Lord.
• 2:11
  And we put on the full armor of God.
• 2:13
  Today, Lord, we go to war. Today we ascend the hill.
• 2:17
  Today, God, we push against darkness and against all of the
• 2:22
  evil spirits, Lord, and all of of the demonic haunts that are
• 2:27
  trying to overtake and overpower us.
• 2:29
  Lord, we push against all that. Father, in the name of Jesus, I
• 2:32
  pray that you will help us to be able to identify all of the
• 2:37
  times the enemy is trying to whisper lies to us.
• 2:40
  Lord, I pray against all of the deception.
• 2:43
  Lord, I pray that we will be able to have the mind of Christ
• 2:48
  and be able to have a sound mind and to be able to understand and
• 2:52
  have the discernment to know when it is your voice, God, that
• 2:56
  is speaking to us. I pray, God, that we will quiet
• 3:00
  our lives, that we will be able to sit and to be still and to
• 3:04
  know that you're God and to know, Lord, that you answer our
• 3:08
  prayers and we can come into the throne room, God boldly, that we
• 3:13
  can come into the holiest of holy places, God, and we can
• 3:17
  dine and we can Sup with you, Lord, as you prepare the banquet
• 3:21
  for us, God, I pray that you will help us to be empowered
• 3:25
  from on high. Fill us with the Holy Ghost
• 3:27
  today, Lord, Help us to know that you are in the room, that
• 3:32
  you're right here in the midst, God, and that you are well
• 3:35
  pleased. And Lord, we ask for healing
• 3:38
  today. God, we ask that you'll heal our
• 3:41
  broken body today. Heal broken marriages today.
• 3:45
  God, bring the prodigals home today.
• 3:48
  Lord, I pray that you'll protect those that are on the front
• 3:51
  lines. Lord, I pray in the name of
• 3:53
  Jesus that the whole world will go out to the whole world.
• 3:57
  Father, we love you. King Jesus, we love everything
• 4:00
  about you. King Jesus, God Almighty, we
• 4:04
  love you. Yes, Holy Spirit, I decrease as
• 4:08
  you increase. You teach us, hide me and hide
• 4:12
  my words, hide my thoughts, and you speak Holy Spirit in Jesus
• 4:18
  Christ. Holy and precious name I pray,
• 4:24
  Amen. Let's start in verse one.
• 4:31
  After these things, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples
• 4:37
  at the sea of Tiberius, and on this wise showed he himself.
• 4:43
  So we know that he told him to go into Galilee and that he
• 4:46
  would go there. This was after the upper room.
• 4:50
  This was after they had returned back to wait on the Holy Ghost.
• 4:56
  And then here they've gone out and we know that they were
• 5:01
  fishermen. He picked so many different
• 5:04
  fishermen, and we can only surmise about this profession.
• 5:11
  And we know that we are called to be fishers of men.
• 5:15
  And that took a lot of patience and a lot of hard work to be the
• 5:20
  fisherman. And Jesus didn't go into the
• 5:22
  synagogues. He didn't go into the temple, he
• 5:25
  didn't go to the Sanhedrin, he didn't go and get any of the
• 5:30
  priests. He went and found unlearned men
• 5:35
  because he did not have to deprogram them to be able to
• 5:40
  reprogram them. And here he took men who were a
• 5:44
  clean slate, who did not have any presuppositions, and he
• 5:49
  built them up to be the apostles and built them up to be the
• 5:53
  messengers, friends. And isn't it amazing that he's
• 5:57
  still doing the same today? We can get so messed up in our
• 6:01
  theology technology by allowing man to have a louder voice in
• 6:05
  our lives than the Holy Scriptures.
• 6:10
  We need to be in tune with God's Word from Genesis to Revelation.
• 6:15
  We need to devour God's Word. And I'm so thankful that you're
• 6:20
  on this faith journey with me. Get in the good book, read it
• 6:27
  chronologically, systematically, read it from Matthew all the way
• 6:33
  back to Malachi. And when you get done with
• 6:35
  Malachi, start back in Matthew and read it and devour it
• 6:41
  friends and you will begin to understand it as the Holy Spirit
• 6:46
  reveals Scripture, that it interprets Scripture and we
• 6:51
  cannot be extra biblical. It is not the Bible plus
• 6:57
  anything else friends. It is the Bible and only the
• 7:02
  Bible that is useful and profitable to save men's souls.
• 7:07
  Nothing added and nothing taken away.
• 7:12
  Two their work together, Simon Peter and Simon called, and
• 7:18
  Thomas called, Didymus and Nathaniel of Cana in Galilee,
• 7:23
  and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
• 7:28
  So we know that these seven were out fishing the Sea of Galilee.
• 7:35
  Here 3 Simon Peter said unto them, I go a fishing.
• 7:42
  And they say unto him, We also go with you.
• 7:45
  And they went forth and entered into a ship immediately.
• 7:49
  And that night they caught nothing.
• 7:51
  You know, this shows us that we can be quick after we get
• 7:58
  dismayed and after we get offended by the Lord and that
• 8:04
  His ways are not our ways. We can be quick to return back
• 8:08
  to our previous lifestyle of just going back fishing.
• 8:12
  And they were called to go and take the word to the whole
• 8:16
  world. We know that these men sold out
• 8:20
  to the Lord Jesus Christ for three years and here they're
• 8:24
  trying to figure it all out. And we get a front seat, front
• 8:30
  row seat to the whole scene and we can see these 7 going out and
• 8:36
  it's unprofitable. They've spent all night toiling
• 8:41
  to no avail. And it is only by following the
• 8:46
  Lord Jesus Christ that will ever produce any fruit.
• 8:50
  It's by falling in love with Jesus Christ first.
• 8:56
  It's by following Jesus Christ only that we can be profitable
• 9:03
  and that we can actually see mountains move and oceans part
• 9:09
  and people come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 9:12
  He is the one that does all the work.
• 9:14
  We are only His messengers. We only repeat the words that He
• 9:19
  has given us. It is not charisma, it is not
• 9:23
  flash, it's not a show, It's not emotions.
• 9:28
  It is the word of God that is profitable for people to be
• 9:32
  saved. And we just repeat the words
• 9:36
  that we read and memorize and store deep down in the recesses
• 9:41
  of our minds and hearts. And we have hidden His word in
• 9:45
  our hearts, so that we might not sin against Him.
• 9:49
  For but when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore.
• 9:55
  But the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
• 9:58
  Perhaps He was afar off, and that is why they did not
• 10:03
  recognize Him. Perhaps in his resurrected
• 10:06
  state, there's something about him that is unrecognizable in
• 10:11
  the first five. Then Jesus said unto them,
• 10:16
  Children, have you any meat? And they answered him, no.
• 10:23
  So we can see this resurrected Jesus.
• 10:28
  He's calling his disciples little children.
• 10:31
  And we see that get modelled in first John and 2nd John and 3rd
• 10:37
  John, just little children. And that is how we must come to
• 10:41
  the Lord Jesus Christ with childlike faith.
• 10:45
  If you have outgrown that childlike faith, you shall not
• 10:48
  inherit the Kingdom of God. We must stay there, friends.
• 10:53
  We must believe that God can do anything.
• 10:57
  He is ABBA, He is our Father, He is Daddy.
• 11:02
  And we go to Him and we know that even in the know, there is
• 11:07
  much knowledge there that he knows why he has to say no.
• 11:12
  And it is to protect us from ourselves.
• 11:15
  And if we have too much, we'll forget about them.
• 11:17
  And if we don't have enough, we'll have to steal.
• 11:20
  And so he knows all these things.
• 11:22
  And so he is perfect in all of his ways.
• 11:26
  We just come to him like little children, and he's asking them,
• 11:33
  You don't have any meat because they were not doing what he had
• 11:37
  asked them to do. So this is him stating the
• 11:41
  facts. You don't have any meat.
• 11:44
  And they answered him, No, we don't. 6 And he said unto them,
• 11:49
  Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and you shall find
• 11:54
  they cast therefore. And now they were not able to
• 11:56
  draw in for the multitude of the fish.
• 11:59
  So we can see here. This is very similar to whenever
• 12:02
  he called Peter to himself. And Peter had been toiling all
• 12:06
  night and couldn't find anything.
• 12:07
  And this would have hearkened Peter's mind back to that
• 12:12
  moment. And it was in this moment that
• 12:16
  they recognized him. Seven Therefore that disciple
• 12:25
  whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord.
• 12:30
  Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his
• 12:35
  Fisher's coat unto him, for he was naked, and did cast himself
• 12:40
  into the sea. So he had taken off all of his
• 12:44
  outer garments as he was fishing.
• 12:47
  And then as soon as he heard John tell him it is the Lord, he
• 12:52
  threw his garment on and jumped overboard.
• 12:57
  And I hope that that is the love that you have for the Savior.
• 13:00
  I hope that is such excitement at those words.
• 13:04
  It is the Lord. I hope that you can recognize
• 13:07
  when the Lord is in your midst. I hope that you can recognize
• 13:10
  when the Lord is in the room. I hope that you understand his
• 13:15
  presence in your life, and we should have the same excitement
• 13:20
  that Peter had, and we should be able to discern the Lord like
• 13:24
  John did. 8 And the other disciples came in a little ship,
• 13:32
  for they were not far from land, but as it were 200 cubits
• 13:36
  dragging the net with fishes. So we can see here that they
• 13:42
  caught a load and they were bringing it.
• 13:44
  They were trolling on to the shore. 9 As soon as as soon then
• 13:52
  as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and
• 13:59
  fish laid on it and bred. So imagine this.
• 14:03
  This is a lot of different scenes all coming together.
• 14:07
  This was whenever Peter was called with the whole net and
• 14:12
  the fish, and we know that that net was about to break and this
• 14:17
  net was put together. And we know that Jesus has
• 14:20
  already told us that in the end, there's going to be a lot of
• 14:22
  different fish that are caught and some will be thrown out and
• 14:28
  some will be kept. And we know that there's so much
• 14:31
  here, and the Lord is teaching them so many lessons in this one
• 14:35
  little scene. And he's teaching us for the
• 14:37
  ages so many different ideas and precepts about him and about his
• 14:43
  word and about the Kingdom. And here we can see this fire of
• 14:48
  coals that are very similar to whenever Peter denied him,
• 14:51
  whenever he was warming himself by the fire.
• 14:54
  We see the little fish in the bread, just like he did whenever
• 14:57
  he broke it. And gave to the multitudes, the
• 15:02
  thousands upon thousands upon thousands.
• 15:05
  There's so many images here that the Lord is using to get them
• 15:10
  back on track, to get them to see that He and His ways are
• 15:16
  much better than just going back to the vomit, going back to what
• 15:20
  they know, going back to their professions.
• 15:23
  He's calling them. He is reinstating them.
• 15:27
  He is showing them that his ways are much better than their own
• 15:32
  understanding. We cannot lean on our own
• 15:35
  understanding. We must trust the Lord.
• 15:37
  We must let him direct our steps.
• 15:40
  Friends 10 Jesus said unto them, Bring up the fish which you have
• 15:46
  now caught. 11 Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land full
• 15:52
  of great fishes. There was 153 for all.
• 15:57
  There were so many, yet was not the net broken?
• 16:03
  We can see that when we're operating in the flesh, the net
• 16:07
  is about to break, but when we operate in the Spirit and that's
• 16:11
  not broken, none of these will be lost. 12 Jesus said unto
• 16:16
  them, Come and dine, and none of the disciples dared ask him, Who
• 16:23
  are you? Knowing that it was the Lord,
• 16:26
  Imagine that they were a far off distance, and he was
• 16:30
  unrecognizable. But John recognized his voice,
• 16:35
  He recognized that it was the Lord.
• 16:38
  And then here they are, all surrounding him, looking upon
• 16:42
  him in his resurrected state, and they were all perplexed and
• 16:46
  all amazed, and none of them dared to ask him who he was.
• 16:52
  What a thought, friends. They knew it was the Lord. 13
• 16:58
  Jesus then came and took bread and gave them and fish.
• 17:02
  Likewise, imagine that the Lord is serving them.
• 17:07
  The Lord is taking this fish, and he's taking the bread and
• 17:11
  he's serving them. He's giving it to them. 14 This
• 17:16
  is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples.
• 17:20
  After that he was risen from the dead.
• 17:24
  So here he is in his resurrected form, his third appearance unto
• 17:29
  them here on the shore. 15 So when they had dined, Jesus said
• 17:39
  to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, do you love me more than
• 17:49
  these? And he said unto him, Yeah,
• 17:52
  Lord, you know that I love you. And he said unto him, Feed my
• 17:57
  lambs. So here we know that Jesus had
• 18:02
  already met with Peter privately, and now he's going to
• 18:08
  publicly reinstate him. And here he is asking him, Do
• 18:17
  you love me more than you love anything else?
• 18:22
  And am I your number one thought?
• 18:28
  Am I your #1 devotion out of everything, out of everyone?
• 18:34
  And he says, yes, you know that you are.
• 18:37
  And then he tells them, feed my lambs.
• 18:41
  And we can see here that Peter in the book of Acts, Peter goes
• 18:49
  on to be a prominent figure in the early church.
• 18:55
  And we can see here that Jesus is giving him his marching
• 19:01
  orders and telling him what he is to do and how he is to
• 19:06
  shepherd the flock. 16 He said unto him again the second time,
• 19:13
  Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me?
• 19:19
  And he said unto him, Yeah, Lord, you know that I love you.
• 19:23
  And he said unto him, Feed my sheep.
• 19:27
  So this second time you can see back whenever Peter denied him
• 19:32
  three times. And we can see here that Jesus
• 19:35
  is systematically publicly reinstating him three times.
• 19:39
  He's going to ask him if he loves him.
• 19:43
  And he is to feed his sheep. He's to feed his lambs.
• 19:47
  And both the new believers and the seasoned believers, they
• 19:54
  both need to be encouraged. And what a wonderful, awesome
• 20:00
  thing it is to be a shepherd. But our ability to shepherd is
• 20:06
  directly connected to the Good Shepherd, and we cannot
• 20:10
  authentically love people until we authentically love the Lord
• 20:15
  Jesus Christ above all, above money, above position, above
• 20:21
  power, above any of our traditions, any of our
• 20:28
  ceremonies, any kind of bylaws, any kind of preferences.
• 20:35
  We must love the Lord Jesus Christ first and foremost before
• 20:42
  we can ever love his sheep and his lambs. 17 He said unto him,
• 20:54
  the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, You love me.
• 21:02
  And Peter was grieved, because he had said unto him, the third
• 21:06
  time, Do you love me? And he said unto him, Lord, you
• 21:12
  know all things, and you know that I love you.
• 21:19
  Jesus said unto him, Feed my sheep.
• 21:24
  So how amazing is this, that the Lord reinstates Peter and gives
• 21:31
  him his marching orders, and then he's going to not only give
• 21:37
  him the beginning of his ministry, but he's going to give
• 21:42
  him an inclination of the end of it. 18 Truly, truly say unto
• 21:54
  you, When you were young you dressed yourself and walked
• 22:01
  where you would, but when you will be old, you shall stretch
• 22:05
  forth your hands, and another shall dress you and carry you
• 22:10
  where you would not. So here we know that church
• 22:15
  tradition tells us that Peter was crucified upside down
• 22:20
  because he said he was not worthy to suffer in the same
• 22:22
  manner as the Lord Jesus Christ. And here Jesus tells him how he
• 22:30
  would die. 19 This spoke, He's signifying by what death he
• 22:35
  should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he
• 22:39
  said unto him, Follow me. That is our admonition as well.
• 22:48
  We must follow the Lord wherever He leads us, no matter where it
• 22:52
  is. If it is to the unreached people
• 22:56
  groups, if it is to your next door neighbor, we must follow
• 23:00
  Him wherever He leads us. And we must not drown out the
• 23:05
  Holy Spirit's voice in our lives.
• 23:10
  We've got to turn off the noise and sit and know that He is
• 23:16
  gone. Don't grieve the Spirit.
• 23:19
  Don't quench the Spirit. Friends, listen, He will lead
• 23:23
  you. 20 Then Peter turning about, saw the disciple whom
• 23:30
  Jesus loved following, which also leaned on his breast at
• 23:35
  supper and said, Lord, which is he that betrays you?
• 23:42
  So here in verse 20, Peter has his eyes on the Lord just like
• 23:47
  he did when he was walking on the water.
• 23:49
  But then he looked away and he put his eyes on another
• 23:54
  disciple. And we err grievously when we do
• 23:57
  the same. Let's keep our eyes on the Lord
• 24:00
  Jesus Christ. Don't look at the followers and
• 24:04
  try to figure out what he's doing in their lives.
• 24:08
  This is a personal relationship with God through his Son Jesus
• 24:13
  Christ. And if you will lock eyes with
• 24:16
  the Lord, then you will be a breath of fresh air to many
• 24:24
  disciples along the way that are struggling because they will see
• 24:28
  the authentic relationship that you have with God through Jesus
• 24:32
  and it will fan the flame in their lives.
• 24:36
  But we cannot take our eyes off of Jesus and put them on other
• 24:40
  believers and try to figure out what God is doing in their
• 24:44
  lives. And that is where Peter aired at
• 24:48
  this moment. And he's looking at John, and
• 24:52
  this whole little passage here is about John who had his head
• 24:55
  on the Lord's chest, and the when John asked who would betray
• 25:01
  him at the Last Supper, that is what is referenced here in verse
• 25:04
  20, verse 21. Peter, seeing him, said to
• 25:09
  Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
• 25:12
  22 Jesus said unto him, If I will, that he tarry until I
• 25:18
  come. What is that to you?
• 25:21
  You follow me. That is our marching orders as
• 25:25
  well. We must obey what the Lord gives
• 25:30
  us to do without being muddled and mixed up in what he's doing
• 25:35
  in other believers lives. 23 Then went this saying abroad
• 25:42
  among the brothers, that that disciple should not die.
• 25:47
  Yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die, but if I will,
• 25:53
  that he tarry until I come, What is that to you?
• 25:56
  So John is saying about himself that it is not true that he
• 26:03
  would not die before the Lord came back.
• 26:07
  But we know that out of all of the disciples, John was the one
• 26:11
  that outlived every single one of them.
• 26:14
  He was placed on the island of Patmos, and we know that it was
• 26:20
  punishment for his following after the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 26:23
  They tried to get rid of him by banishing him to this island,
• 26:32
  but he did not suffer the martyrdom that the others had to
• 26:37
  suffer. He was the only one who did not.
• 26:42
  And so it is an interesting fact here as Peter is asking the Lord
• 26:47
  what about him? And then it is purported amongst
• 26:51
  all the other disciples that he would not die before the Lord
• 26:54
  Jesus Christ came back. And we know that John is the one
• 26:57
  who is given the privilege to have the revealing of the
• 27:02
  curtain pulled back so he can look into the end times and
• 27:06
  write all about it. And I look forward to studying
• 27:09
  that book together. And it is this great revealing
• 27:15
  as Jesus was well pleased to show us what will happen.
• 27:21
  And John got to pin it all down. What an amazing privilege. 24
• 27:32
  This is the disciple which testifies of these things and
• 27:36
  wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
• 27:40
  Lawyers after lawyers after lawyers of people who study law,
• 27:46
  who have come to this good book, the good Bible, the only
• 27:55
  publication on planet earth that has the ability to predict
• 27:59
  itself in the preciseness that it has in the past and will in
• 28:05
  the future. There have been many lawyers.
• 28:10
  They were scrupulous in all of their dealings and readings of
• 28:17
  the law. They've come to this book to
• 28:19
  discredit and disprove, and all they have ever gotten out of it
• 28:23
  is Jesus jiu Jitsu, where He brings them to the place of
• 28:30
  faith. This testimony is true and it is
• 28:36
  authenticated and it is reliable and it is historically accurate.
• 28:44
  We can trust it and believe on it and put our whole faith in it
• 28:48
  and build our lives upon this rock, this chief cornerstone.
• 28:52
  You will never be put to dismay if you will put your whole faith
• 28:58
  and your whole trust and your whole life and all your thoughts
• 29:02
  and all your emotions and all your feelings and all your
• 29:05
  circumstances, your whole family, your wealth, your
• 29:10
  future, your past, your present, everything.
• 29:14
  Put everything into the trust and the faith of this good book
• 29:20
  and you will never be put to dismay.
• 29:26
  You'll never come up empty. Friends, this book has all the
• 29:31
  power and the ability to save to the utmost, and it has been
• 29:40
  stamped by the blood of Jesus Christ.
• 29:43
  It has been confirmed by the blood of Jesus Christ.
• 29:47
  It has been instituted by the blood of Jesus Christ.
• 29:51
  And it is the blood of Jesus that flows over us from the top
• 29:55
  of our head to the bottom of our feet, friends.
• 29:58
  And that is the only way that we're going to make it in to the
• 30:02
  Kingdom of God. We'll end on 25.
• 30:07
  And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the
• 30:11
  which, if they should be written everyone, I suppose that even
• 30:16
  the world itself could not contain the books that should be
• 30:20
  written. Amen.
• 30:21
  The Holy Spirit directed John to only write the things that he
• 30:27
  would. And it is much like the account
• 30:32
  in Genesis when Moses is writing inspired by God.
• 30:37
  And there's a lot more to say about creation, and there's a
• 30:41
  lot more to say about Jesus's 33 years on this earth.
• 30:47
  But we only know what we need to know, and we also need to come
• 30:53
  to the reality that anything that is extra biblical is only
• 30:58
  opinion. The Bible is the only thing that
• 31:06
  we need. There's nothing more that needs
• 31:11
  to be said that has not been said.
• 31:14
  We have the complete authority of God's Word for us, and we
• 31:21
  need to be way more preoccupied with studying the Word of God.
• 31:26
  We need to study the authentic so that when the counterfeit
• 31:31
  comes across, we can identify it.
• 31:33
  Friends, we need to be on guard of heresy.
• 31:36
  We need to be on guard of false teachers.
• 31:39
  We need to be on guard of the apostate church.
• 31:42
  Friends, it's coming. It's rearing its ugly head.
• 31:46
  It's in our midst and we have to study the Word of God so that we
• 31:54
  can be on guard for whenever all of the false claims, false
• 31:59
  messiahs, false Christ, false books tried to come in to Canon.
• 32:06
  There's a lot of people saying that there's books that need to
• 32:09
  be taken out, and there's a lot of people saying there's books
• 32:13
  that were missed that didn't get in.
• 32:16
  And those are all satanic attacks on the infallible,
• 32:22
  inerrant Word of God. And if you will build your life
• 32:25
  upon these 66 books, you're going to discover that God is
• 32:32
  well pleased to continue to reveal His self to you and
• 32:36
  reveal His unrevealed will for your life.
• 32:40
  Friends, it's by obeying these scriptures.
• 32:44
  It's not about interpretation, it's about obedience.
• 32:48
  Let's get in the good book and don't take my word for it.
• 32:53
  It's in the book. Just take a look.
• 32:57
  I hope you've been blessed by this amazing chapter here in the
• 33:01
  Word of God. We could spend a whole lifetime
• 33:05
  studying this chapter, and I pray that you do.
• 33:14
  I'm praying for you, I love you, and I pray that you have a
• 33:24
  wonderful day filled with the Holy Ghost, and I pray that your
• 33:28
  discernment is heightened as you go and walk in the Spirit and
• 33:33
  not satisfy the lusts of the flesh.
• 33:39
  Be blessed today and stay prayed up.
• 33:42
  We'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 33:44
  God bless you.
