  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19

  Speaker 2: The Son is knowing the Father. When God is in
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: your life, when people see you, they will know the
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Father too. I wish I had the time before we
• 1:11

• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray and then we will get underway. Father,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: We thank you for this day and for the opportunity
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: that you have given us to engage with you in
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the word. Father, I pray that when you see us,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: when people see us, it'll be a reflection of you
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Jesus name. I pray, Amen and Amen again. Knowing the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Son is knowing the Father. Okay, so we're going to
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: go ahead and begin with a quote from yesterday that
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I gave just a little bit of, but we're going
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: to read right out of yesterday's lesson at the bottom
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: in Christ is life, original, unborrowed, underrived. That means that
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ is not a created being. Can I just
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: say that simply, Jesus Christ is not a created being?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: That matters. I wish I had the time and so
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: when Jesus comes to planet Earth. He's surrendering his will
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: to the process of taking on a human body. And
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: so the quote continues. Let as yet as the incarnate
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: son who emptied him. According to Philippians, chapter two and
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: verse seven of the Exercise of his prerogatives, Christ speaking
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: of his existence on earth as a man among men,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: could refer to his possession of life as a gift
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: from God. The divinity of Christ is the believer's assurance
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: of eternal life. Let me say that last part again,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: because I know I said a lot and it may
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: be confusing to some. The divinity of Christ is the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: believer's assurance of eternal life. Okay, let me say this simply.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: If Jesus were not equal with our father God, then
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the plan of salvation could not work. The one who
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: gave his life for us has to be equal to
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: or greater than, the law of God that was offended.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Who gave his life for us has to be equal
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to God, our Father, because no life would be worth
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: or have the ability the value to save us from
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: our sins. And you're like, but God can't die, Dave,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: that sounds confusing. Oh wait a minute, I think, Paul
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: answered the question. He said, great is the mystery of God.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Because God took on human flesh. God became a man
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: in the person of Jesus Christ. So Jesus Christ, being
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: equal with our Father, also took on another form. Jesus
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Christ took on human form after we had been degraded
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: by four thousand years of sin. And so Jesus takes
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: on that form. And it is his adopted human form,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: his adopted humanity that Jesus allowed to die the death
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: of the Cross so we can be saved. And I
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: know it's a mist How can he be one hundred
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: percent God? How can he be one hundred percent human?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: How is this possible? Well, I guess you're going to
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: need to ask God that question. We can read through
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the Bible and get all the right answers, but we
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: need God through the power of the Holy ghosts, to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: drive home to our consciousness what that means. Okay, And
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: so that is where I just really need to start here,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: because people make up all kind of crazy arguments, sacrilegious
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: arguments to diminish who Jesus is. But now we see
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: in the human form, knowing the Son is knowing the Father.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: When Jesus came to planet Earth. We could see now
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a manifestation of who God our Father is. Okay, and
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: so in John chapter seven and verse sixteen, the Bible reads,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Jesus answered them and said, my doctrine is not my own,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: so his teachings are not his own. See, he surrendered
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: his will to God our Father while he lived on
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: planet Earth. He said, my doctrine, even though he has powers,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: are unborrowed, underrived. Even though he's the creator of everything
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: in the universe, animate and inanimate, meaning Jesus Christ in
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: human form. Jesus yielded himself to God our Father. My
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. I
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: love it. So his teachings, he's saying, are coming from
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: the Father. You see, he's submitting to God. Here we
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: go John chapter eight and verse thirty eight, and the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Bible reads, I speak that which I have seen with
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: my father, and ye do that which ye have seen
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: from your father. So he's speaking to his detractors. Jesus
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: is connected with God our Father and his detractors. They
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: were supposedly the leaders of God's people, and those so
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: called leaders of God's people. I'm a leader some of
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you who are listening and watching our leaders. There are
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: pastors that I know who watch every day your leader.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: But please don't become so called leaders like these guys here.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: These had their father as the devil because they did
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: not believe in Jesus Christ. Somehow they thought they could
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: lead God's people and reject Jesus both and at the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: same time. Please let us not be them. But we
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: see the witness of the Father in Christ's life. When
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you see Jesus, you see the Father. When people see us,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: do they see God? He said, let your light so
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: shine before humans other humans? Right, fellow human beings. So
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: when they see your good works, they glorify our Father,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: which is in heaven. Okay, And so now we see
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: in John chapter fourteen, Verses ten and twenty three, the
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Bible reads, do you not believe that I am in
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the Father and that the Father is in me? The
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: words I say to you I do not speak on
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: my own initiative. You see, Jesus is submitting. He is submitting,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: but the Father residing in me performs his miraculous deeds.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Jesus replied, if anyone loves me, he will obey my word,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and my Father will love him. And we will come
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: to him and take up residence with him. Jesus is
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: making a promise. If you believe in Jesus Christ, you
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: get the Father in your life too. If you believe
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: in God, our Father in reality, then you get Jesus
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Christ as a bonus blessing. And I maybe shouldn't say
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: it that way in your life as well. And of
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: course the power of the Holy Ghost comes in this
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: same holy and divine package. Blessed be the name of
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the Lord. And so when we accept God, we get
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: all of heaven in one gift. For what purpose? Freely
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: you have received, The Bible says, freely give, give kindness,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Give people the opportunity to grow and to live. Don't
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: hurt people with your words. Don't hurt people physically when
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: they've not done anything to deserve that. Please. When you
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: are seen walking and moving in the earth, you're seen
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: in your silence. You're seen when you're speaking. You're seen
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: at work and at play. You are seen in government offices.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: You are seen in your church offices. When people see
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: you in your marriage, when nobody else is looking besides
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: your spouse, when they're looking at your relationship with your children,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: they should see God, our Father. They should see Jesus
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Christ the Sun. They should see the power of the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Holy Ghost in your life when they see you. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I have some more tips, but again I have run
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: out of time, so please request in the community at
• 9:40
