  Speaker 1: Oh, how wonderful it is to be called of God,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: chosen by him, appointed by him, blessed by him, loved
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: by him. We are grateful to the Lord for his
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: benefits multitude they are toward us. We are not worthy
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: of the least of his mercies, but we thank Him
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: for loving us while we were yet sinners, calling us
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: out of the darkness into his glorious, marvelous light, into
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: this liberty, wherein we now stand as children of God,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: sons of God, ers and joint heirs with Christ. Jesus,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: our Lord, to God be the glory for all that
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: he has done, is doing what he has promised to do.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: It is that what we cleave to. It is that
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: that gives us hope. It is that that he has
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: spoken that, of course we believe fervently and have the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: assurance it shall not return to him BOYD. So blessed
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: be the name of the Lord, our God. From this
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: time forth and even forevermore, we welcome you once again
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to this another edition of End Time Revival ministries you
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: as a podcast. I am your host, Pastor al Zachary,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and two day we are continuing to talk about Jesus.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: It's all about Jesus, our Lord, our Savior, our Redeemer,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and our soon coming King. We as always thank each
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and every one of you, those of you who listen to,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and or support and or subscribe to this ministry. A man,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: we are here, a man, as I say, often a man,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and certainly, by the grace of God, having obtained help
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: of the Lord, we are here to disseminate the word
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of the Lord, a man freely. Because freely we have received,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: we freely give. We are here to disseminate the Word
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of God with love, with truth, with integrity, with forthrightness, honesty,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: whatever description that we can use to describe a man
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the calling that God has placed upon us, It is
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: necessary for us to, in love and with plainness of speech,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: as much as possible a man preach the Word. Be
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: instant in season out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: all o suffering and doctrine. The apostle Paul said to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: his son in the Gospel Timothy, for the time will
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: come when men will not endure sound doctrine. I have
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a calling, and my call is to speak the word
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of the Lord, not change it, not add to it,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: not take away from it. But speak the word of
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the Lord, just as it has been given to us.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: It's not my gospel, not my scripture, not my Bible,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: not my word. It's not my authority. It is on
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the authority of what God has spoken that I speak.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So Amen, I am grateful. I am thankful and again
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: thankful to the Lord for each and every one of
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you who pray for and support this ministry. That is
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: our endeavor, that is our goal. That is what I've
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: been called to do. That is what I aim to do.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I want to be pleasing, found pleasing in the sight
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: of the Lord. I want to hear him say, well done,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: good and faithful, servant above all us others, above all else, Brother,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: above all other things or desires of this world, of
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: this life. A man, I want to be found pleasing
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to God. Not men pleasers. We're not to be men pleasers,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: but seek to please the one who called us, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to be faithful to that calling. All right, before we begin,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we'll be in the Gospel of John again on today
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: word of prayer. Father again, thank you for your word,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: thank you for your faithfulness, thank you for your goodness,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: thank you for your loving kindness, thank you for the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Thank you, oh yes,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: for the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed for
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: our sins. Now we are washed. Now we are cleansed.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Now we are sons of God. Because the blood, the blood,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the blood has been applied. The blood, the blood, the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: blood washes away all of our sins. The blood covers us.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So we thank you, We bless you, We honor you.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Thank you for that atonement on our behalf of debt.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: That we old that we could not a man pay
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a price that you you did not, Oh, that you
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: paid on our behalf. So to you again belongs all
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the glory, the honor, the praise, the majesty, both now
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and forever. Blessed Now every listening ear and every obedient heart.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It's in the name of Jesus Christ. We praying your thanks,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Amen and amen. All right again we are in the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Gospel of John. But before I get to the fourteenth chapter,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: from which we have been in the past few episodes
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of this podcast, I want to read a few verses
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: from the twelfth chapter of the Gospel of John, John
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: chapter twelve, beginning the verse number thirty one. Now is
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the judgment of this world. Now shall the prince of
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: this world be cast out? This is Jesus speaking, He
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: says in verse thirty two. And if I be lifted
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: up from the earth, will draw all men onto me?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: This he said, signifying what death he should die. The
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: people answered him, we have heard out of the law
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that Christ about it forever. And how says thou the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: son of man must be lifted up? Who is this
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: son of man? Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: little while is the light with you? Walk while you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: have the light, lest darkness come upon you. For he
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the parted, and did hide himself from them now this
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: verse thirty seven. But though he had done so many
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: miracles before them, yet they believed not on him. Podcast
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: title for today is what more do we need? What
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: more do we need? I am thoroughly convinced there are
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: those who will never believe in Jesus, no matter how
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: much they hear, no matter what they witnessed with their
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: own eyes. The proof of my conviction, of course, is
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: based in the Gospels, and I just read for you
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: in your hearing one example of this proof, and certainly
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: also not just in the Gospels, but throughout the scriptures
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a man, when we see the waywardness and the rebellion
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that is in the heart of man. Again, despite all
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of the self revelation of God, along with his direct
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: intervention and interaction with man throughout our existence in his
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: world on this earth, this planet that He created for
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: his glory and for his good pleasure, in spite of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the overwhelming Again, the Bible itself tells us the heavens
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: declare the glory of God. The Bible tells us the creation,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: all of the amen, the evidence of the Godhead is
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: clearly seen. And man, we know, we know, we got it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: We see it. But there's deliberate truth suppression that takes
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: place within the heart of man. This is why Jesus said,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: walk while you have the light, otherwise darkness will come
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: upon you. While you know, while you have the evidence,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: while you have the visibility, while you have the word
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: of God. And the Bible tells us faith comes by
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: hearing by the word of God, while the word of
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: God is being sown, while you hear it, while you
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity to ponder it and receive it and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: believe it, and let it take root in you, while
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you have the light. In other words, while you have
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the opportunity, while you have the chance. While the door
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: is being knocked upon your heart. Jesus said, hold, I
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: stand at the door and knock. While you have life,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: while you have breath, while you have being, while the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Lord is still calling. Believe. Faith comes by hearing. The
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Bible says, hearing by the word of the Lord, have
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: we not known? Have we not heard? See there's a thief,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the Bible says, your adversary. The devil is a thief,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: and he comes to steal, kill, and destroy. He steals
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: away the word. Jesus gave us the parable of the sword.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: The sword went out the soul. What happens, seed falls
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: into hearts onto hearts, around the hearts of some stony ground.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: It is referred to as the devil. Jesus says, comes,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: steals away that word before it can take root. So
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: while you have the light, while you have the word,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: while you have the evidence, while it is screaming, while
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: it is declaring to you, believe, believe, and there you
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: have it, Jesus himself warning the people while you have
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the light. In other words, while you have the opportunity,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: while I'm knocking at the door, while I'm speaking, while
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: i am calling believe. Amen. And John went on to say,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: though Jesus had done so many miracles among them, they
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: still did not believe. John Chapter fourteen, Jesus said, unto him,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to Thomas, I am the Way, the Truth, and the life.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: No man comment unto the Father, but by me. If
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you had known me, you should have known my father also,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And from henceforth you know him and have seen him.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Now let me just pause with this month, because in
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: our previous podcast it was entitled now you know, we know,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Now we know. Now you know, we know, we know
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: because it has been revealed to us. It has been
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: spoken very plainly to us by Jesus himself. He says,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the life. And no man can come to the Father,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: no man can ascend up into heaven, no man can
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: get there any other way but by me. And if
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: you had known me, you would have known. Jesus says
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: my father also, And from henceforth Jesus said these words,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: now you know him, you know the Father? Why because
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you know me and you have seen him? So now
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: we know. Again, I asked the question, what more do
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: we need? Well, Philip is not quite satisfied. Verse number eight,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: He says, unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: it sufficeth Us. In other words, we will be convinced,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: we will be persuaded, we will be satisfied if you
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: show us the Father. Jesus said to Philip in reply
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: verse number nine, Have I been so long time with
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you and yet hast thou not known me? Philip? Now
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: listen to what Jesus says. Now, Now again, as I
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: say this often, I said it I don't know how
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: many times in our previous podcast, but I'm gonna say
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: it again. You must either believe what Jesus is saying
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and receive it, or you must reject it. There is
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: no end between. Either he is telling the truth or
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: he's not all right. So Jesus in a reply in
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a response to Philip saying show us the Father, Jesus says,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: have I been so long time with you and yet
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: have you not known me? Philip? Listen to what Jesus says.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: He that hath seen me, hath seen.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: The Father? And how sayest thou then show us the Father?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Verse ten? Believest thou not that I am in the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Father and the Father in me. The words that I
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: speak unto you, I speak not of myself, but the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: me that I am in the Father and the Father
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in me, or else believe me for the very word's sake.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: This again alludes back to what I read earlier John
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: chapter twelve, where John made the comment though Jesus had
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: done so many miracles in their eyesight, they witnessed it,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: yet they still did not believe. Over and over again,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Jesus demonstrated his deity, his power, his authority, his mastery
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: of communication. You remember, one of the gospel writers commented
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: that there was a hero. If you will heard the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: words of Jesus, and they said, never man speak like
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: this man. They saw the power, they saw the authority.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: They knew that his teaching was far and away above
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and beyond what the scribes and the so called teachers
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and masters of the law had been speaking. As a
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: matter of fact, Jesus, at the age of twelve Luke's
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Gospel Records, was at the temple, a man talking with
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the doctors of the law, the experts, the professors, the teachers,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the masters, questioning them and answering questions.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: At twelve.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Years old.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Jesus was the master of communication.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: He had all authority, all power, and he demonstrated it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: He showed by his power, by his authority. You remember
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: nick Names, chapter three of the Gospel of No man
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: can do these miracles that you were doing, has to
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: be God. So they saw it, they heard it, they
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: heard about it. They witnessed it with their own eyes,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: demons being cast out, people being raised from the dead,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the eyes of blind people being opened, people being healed
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: of infirmities, of lifelong illnesses, sicknesses, diseases. And it should
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: have left no doubt whatsoever in the minds of these witnesses,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: who again saw this ministry before their eyes. They should
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: have known, indeed that he was the Christ. But what
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: do they say of him? Well, some said that he
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: was John the Baptist, risen from the dead after John
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the Baptists had been beheaded by Era. Some said that
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: he was Elijah, or one of the prophets resurrected from
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the dead. But again they did not believe in spite
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: of the evidence. And so my question is, what more,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: what more do we need? This same writer, the apostle John,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: in First John, his Epistle to the Church, he testifies
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: that which was from the beginning, which we have heard,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: he's talking about Jesus, now Jesus. In other words, he's
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: talking about the eternality of Jesus. Jesus always was. In
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the matter of fact, John and his Gospel says, in
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the beginning was the word to work with God. The
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: word was God. The work was made flesh and wealth
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: among us. He is the creator and the maker of
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: all things. By him all things were made, and nothing
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: is in existence that was not made by Him. So
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: he goes again in the First Epistle of John. He says,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: that which was from the beginning, what God Jesus the
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: word inseparable by the way John says, which we have heard,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: what is he talking about Jesus speaking to them, God
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: who had one hundred times in the divers matter of
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: speaking in the past by the prophets to the fathers.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: The Bible says, happened these last days spoken to us
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: by his son. John says, we heard him which we
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and our hands have handled. They interacted with Jesus for
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: three and a half years. John says, concerning the Word
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: of Life, that's who Jesus is. He is the Word,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: he is life. He is the Word of life, inseparable.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: The life was manifested verse two. This is first John,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Chapter one, Verse one. I just read verse two. The
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: life was manifested. And we have seen and bear witness
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: and declared to you that eternal life which was with
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the Father and was manifested to us.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: That which we have seen and heard.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: We declare to you that you also may have fellowship
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: and with his son Jesus Christ. And these things we
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: write to you that your joy may be full. John
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the Apostle John an eyewitness. As a matter of fact,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: he was one of those, of course the inner circle,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: if you will, Peter James and John. This apostle Amen
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: again was an eyewitness of the ministry of Jesus from
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the beginning until the Cross, the Resurrection, the ascension back
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: up into heaven. He was also there on the day
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: of Pentecosts. He was the apostle who also wrote the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Amen, and he rights,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: We've handled him, touched him, walk with him, talk with him.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: We've seen with our own eyes. We looked upon we
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: heard him. We saw this life manifested. Amen, and we
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: are witnesses, and we are telling you, we're bearing witness
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to you, and we're declaring unto you that this is
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: the way of eternal life. What more do we need
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: to say? What more do we need to see? What
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: more do we need to hear? What is needed, ladies
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, is faith. We need to believe. Jesus. I
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: am the Way. I am the Truth. I am the Life.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: I am the Bread. I am the Water. I am
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the Light, I am the Door. I am the Christ,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I am the Savior. I am the Son of God God.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I am of the Father. I am from the Father.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I am in the Father. The Father is in me.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: And if you've seen me, you have seen the Father.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: What more? What more do we need? Lord? I pray
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: today somewhere someone will have their eyes open, We'll have
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: their hearts convicted, will come to faith, come to know
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: that you are indeed the Christ, the Savior of the Redeemer,
• 24:40
