  Romans chapter 10. Let us pray.
• 0:07
  Oh God Almighty, here we are again.
• 0:11
  Lord, thank you for giving us another day.
• 0:14
  Thank you God for waking us up. Thank you, Lord, that you are
• 0:18
  good. You are good in spite of all of
• 0:22
  the things that are going on all around us, Lord, that are trying
• 0:26
  to RIP us away and tear us away, God, from serving you and
• 0:31
  worshipping you in spirit and truth.
• 0:34
  God, I pray right now in the name of Jesus for a supernatural
• 0:39
  protection around your Saints, God, that are doing your
• 0:43
  bidding, God that are going out to the ends of the earth.
• 0:46
  God, I pray against the enemy. God, I pray against all the
• 0:50
  spiritual darkness. God, I pray against all the
• 0:54
  demonic haunts. I pray, God, that you will
• 0:57
  deliver your Saints, God, whether in this life or the
• 1:01
  next. God, I pray that you'll be the
• 1:05
  one who fuels the journey, who helps us to finish well.
• 1:09
  God, I pray that we will not see our flesh.
• 1:14
  God, we will not see our desperate condition.
• 1:19
  God, I pray that we will see ourselves in light of eternity.
• 1:23
  God, as your chosen people. Lord, I pray that we'll step
• 1:27
  into the bridal identity. I pray God, that will be found
• 1:32
  taking the whole word to the whole world.
• 1:34
  God not shrinking back in coward.
• 1:36
  It's not shrinking back in fear. God, in the name of Jesus
• 1:40
  Christ, I pray for a boldness to consume us.
• 1:43
  The zeal of your house. God has eaten us up.
• 1:47
  And so, Lord, I pray that you will help us, Lord, to be
• 1:50
  emboldened and strengthened and polished.
• 1:53
  God, I pray for you to be our guiding light, that you'll be
• 2:00
  the very breath and our nostrils in our lungs.
• 2:03
  God, you'll be the strength that we exude.
• 2:07
  God, as we go out into the highways and the hedges, as we
• 2:11
  go out into the darkest places. Father, I pray that you will
• 2:15
  help us, God to see you on every single situation.
• 2:20
  Lord, that we will see you working mightily in every single
• 2:25
  life. God, I pray in the name of Jesus
• 2:27
  against deception. Lord, I pray in the name of
• 2:30
  Jesus against all of the murder, God, and against all of the acts
• 2:37
  of violence, the needless acts. God, I pray that your people who
• 2:41
  are called by your name, who are marked by your grace, Lord, will
• 2:45
  make it there with you. Lord, I pray that we will not be
• 2:49
  apostate. Lord, I pray that we will not
• 2:51
  fall away. God, I pray that we will not be
• 2:53
  deceived. God, bind the enemy, cast him
• 2:56
  into the darkness. God, that you have a waiting for
• 3:00
  him in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray that you, Lord, will be
• 3:05
  exalted over the land. Lord, that you'll be exalted
• 3:09
  over the whole world, the whole globe.
• 3:12
  God, push out all of the demonic haunts.
• 3:15
  Push out all of the opposition. God and I pray for heaven to
• 3:21
  come to earth just as it is there.
• 3:23
  Father, I pray that your will is done just as it is there.
• 3:27
  God, I pray for daily bread today.
• 3:30
  God Almighty, I pray for forgiveness of sins as we
• 3:33
  forgive those who wrongfully strike us down.
• 3:38
  God, I pray in the name of Jesus God, that you will bind the
• 3:42
  enemy. God, I pray in the name of Jesus
• 3:45
  you'll keep us from deception. God, I pray right now, Father,
• 3:49
  for your glory and honor and Kingdom to be exalted over all
• 3:53
  lands, Father, over all people groups, over all governments,
• 3:57
  Father, over every single person on planet earth, Father that
• 4:03
  will see your goodness and grace, Lord, that will see you
• 4:06
  high and lift it up. Father, we look upon you, we
• 4:09
  call upon your name, and Lord, we are awaiting for your
• 4:13
  glorious return. We cry out, Maranatha, the
• 4:16
  Spirit and the bride say come. Amen.
• 4:18
  Yes, Father, we love you. King Jesus, we worship you in
• 4:22
  spirit and truth. Father, I decrease as you
• 4:25
  increase. It's all about you.
• 4:27
  King Jesus, I pray Holy Spirit, you'll guide us.
• 4:31
  Lord, be here in this room, Be here with us, Father, and it's
• 4:35
  in your holy and righteous name that I pray.
• 4:39
  Amen. Well, let's start in verse one,
• 4:47
  brothers. My heart's desire and prayer to
• 4:53
  God for Israel is that they might be saved.
• 4:59
  Last chapter or so he was talking about the anathema where
• 5:03
  he would be accursed if they could come on in.
• 5:06
  Paul's heart here is so genuine and pure.
• 5:09
  He desires for all of Israel to know the risen Savior, the
• 5:15
  Messiah. He desires for them to
• 5:19
  accurately place their trust in Him.
• 5:22
  He does not want any of them to perish.
• 5:25
  And that is His desire. And that is God's desire.
• 5:30
  You know, it is their willful disobedience that has led to our
• 5:34
  eternal position as God's elect. And isn't that amazing?
• 5:42
  But just remember that Israel is God's chosen people and He loves
• 5:46
  them. And that is not changed.
• 5:49
  Verse 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God,
• 5:55
  but not according to knowledge. So Paul could say this well
• 5:59
  because he was a Pharisee of the Pharisees and they were holding
• 6:03
  on to the law and they were legalistic in their approach.
• 6:06
  And there are many like that today who try to be scrupulous
• 6:11
  in all of the Scriptures whenever they try to uphold them
• 6:14
  to the last letter. And with God there is freedom,
• 6:18
  friends. But we did not abuse that
• 6:20
  liberality. And so you need to know that
• 6:23
  when you walk in the Spirit, you're not going to satisfy the
• 6:26
  lust of the flesh. And so here Paul is saying they
• 6:30
  have a zeal, but it is not channeled in the right
• 6:33
  direction. They're using that zeal to
• 6:36
  persecute the true believers. And they murdered their own
• 6:39
  Messiah because of the zeal that they have for God's Word.
• 6:43
  And you can see just how misplaced that zeal is.
• 6:47
  And we're no different today. There are many fundamentalists
• 6:51
  and legalists who have a zeal for God's Word, but they break
• 6:56
  others down and that's not God's heart.
• 7:00
  Verse 3. For they, being ignorant of
• 7:04
  God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own
• 7:10
  righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the
• 7:14
  righteousness of God. Righteousness, righteousness,
• 7:18
  and righteousness. And the only righteousness that
• 7:21
  we should be pressing towards is the righteousness of Christ that
• 7:25
  He won on the cross when he lived a perfect life and went to
• 7:29
  the slaughter like a lamb, silent before the shears.
• 7:34
  And you need to know that we put on Christ's righteousness and
• 7:37
  none of our righteousness amounts to anything.
• 7:41
  And that is where the Jews have erred, and that is where many
• 7:45
  Christians err, is when we think that we can measure our position
• 7:49
  with Christ by our works. And it'll never be so.
• 7:54
  It's all about Jesus Christ. Put on His righteousness.
• 7:58
  When you come unto God Almighty through His Son Jesus Christ,
• 8:03
  God says to you, there's nothing that you could ever do to make
• 8:09
  me love you less, and there is nothing that you could ever do
• 8:13
  to make me love you more. I want you to know that friends,
• 8:19
  we do not receive salvation by our works.
• 8:23
  It is all about what Christ did on the cross for us, period.
• 8:30
  And you need to know that all of the sins that you have ever
• 8:33
  committed, are committing, or will ever commit are under the
• 8:38
  blood of Jesus Christ. And that is the only way that we
• 8:42
  can be in right standing with God is because of the all
• 8:47
  sufficient atoning sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ, period.
• 8:56
  And when you gave your life over to the Lord, and if you will
• 9:01
  give your life over to the Lord, it is as a loving Father who
• 9:07
  says it doesn't matter what you do, I'm going to love you no
• 9:13
  matter what. And we don't abuse that.
• 9:15
  And you show me someone who does and I'll show you someone who
• 9:18
  does not know God's heart, who does not truly love the Lord
• 9:22
  Jesus Christ accurately. Verse 4 for Christ is the end of
• 9:31
  the law for righteousness to everyone that believes he
• 9:35
  finished it. He said on the cross it is
• 9:38
  finished, paid in full to tell us die friends, you need to know
• 9:43
  that we don't add anything on to it.
• 9:47
  It is finished, it is done. Finito overcook.
• 9:52
  He did it all for us. All we must do is believe, and
• 9:57
  we will be made right with God. How easy is that?
• 10:00
  It's a simple gospel, but we complicate it, friends, because
• 10:05
  it's too simple for us to accept.
• 10:07
  We want to try to Add all kinds of little rules onto it,
• 10:11
  friends. It doesn't work that way.
• 10:15
  If we're doing anything for Christ, if we've locked eyes
• 10:18
  with him, if we're washing feet, if we're in the harvest, if
• 10:22
  we're if we have our hands to the plow, it is a overflow of
• 10:27
  the love that we have for Jesus Christ.
• 10:29
  It is not the world plus Christ. It is not Christ plus anything
• 10:34
  else. You cannot serve 2 masters.
• 10:36
  It is only Christ and Christ alone.
• 10:40
  Verse 5 for Moses describes the righteousness which is of the
• 10:44
  law, that the man which does those things shall live by them.
• 10:50
  And essentially he is saying, if you think you can make it to
• 10:53
  heaven by obeying all of the law, go ahead and try.
• 10:58
  You never you never will be able to attain eternal life by
• 11:03
  following after all of the requirements of the law.
• 11:06
  Friends, that is our desperate need for the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 11:12
  It is by putting on his righteousness.
• 11:14
  It is by getting covered in the blood of Jesus Christ from the
• 11:18
  bottom of your feet to the top of your head, friends, is the
• 11:21
  only way that we're going to enter into the holy presence of
• 11:25
  God Almighty. And you're going to hear him say
• 11:28
  well done, good and faithful servant, friends.
• 11:32
  And that is our desperate plea. We plead the blood of Jesus
• 11:37
  Christ over all of our works, friends.
• 11:41
  He speaks a better word over all of our works, friends.
• 11:49
  Six But the righteousness which is of faith speaks on this way.
• 11:53
  Say not in your heart who shall ascend into heaven, that is to
• 11:58
  bring Christ down from above? 7 Or who shall descend into the
• 12:04
  deep, that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead?
• 12:09
  8 But what does it say? The word is near you, even in
• 12:16
  your mouth and in your heart. That is the Word of Faith which
• 12:23
  we preach. So they're saying that we could
• 12:27
  never attain to the greatness of what Jesus Christ did on the
• 12:33
  cross for us. We're never going to go and try
• 12:38
  to retrieve Christ and bring Him down to our level.
• 12:43
  It'll never happen. We must ascend the hill.
• 12:48
  We must go into the depths of His love.
• 12:51
  We must just admit that we are sinners.
• 12:54
  We must see our need for repentance.
• 12:57
  We must by faith believe that Jesus Christ is enough and it is
• 13:03
  finished and there is nothing else that needs to be added to
• 13:07
  the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the finished work and the
• 13:11
  all sufficient sacrifice for us. It is the only one who can make
• 13:17
  us at one with God Almighty is Jesus Christ.
• 13:23
  He's going to tell us what we must do to be saved, friends,
• 13:26
  and He's already alluded to it with belief.
• 13:30
  And then He's going to tell us here what it is that we need to
• 13:35
  be preaching this Word of Faith. Here it goes.
• 13:38
  Verse 8 is a beautiful verse and verse 9 it leads into that if
• 13:46
  you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and shall
• 13:52
  believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead,
• 13:57
  you shall be saved. It's that simple.
• 14:03
  Friends, it is the thief on the cross who acknowledges Jesus
• 14:13
  Christ as Lord and he says when you enter into your Kingdom,
• 14:19
  Remember Me, what does Christ say to him?
• 14:22
  Today you will be with me in paradise.
• 14:27
  To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and
• 14:33
  that is what you need to know. It is as simple as the thief on
• 14:38
  the cross. There is no aisle that needs to
• 14:41
  get walked. There is no magical prayer, Some
• 14:45
  ABC prayer, friends. It is not church attendance.
• 14:52
  It is not getting dunked in water that saves you.
• 14:58
  He tells us very plainly how to be saved.
• 15:03
  And it is confessing with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and
• 15:13
  believing in our heart that God raised him from the dead.
• 15:18
  That is how we receive salvation.
• 15:22
  It is the heart and the mind working in tandem over all the
• 15:28
  complete senses of your body. Friends, it is being completely
• 15:34
  sold out to the Lord Jesus Christ alone.
• 15:37
  It is putting your mind and your thoughts.
• 15:40
  It is putting your heart and your passions in complete
• 15:43
  subjection to the Lordship of of Jesus Christ that He gets the
• 15:49
  final and last say over every single moment of every single
• 15:54
  day, every decision and every emotion is made subjected to the
• 16:00
  Lord Jesus Christ. That is how we will be saved,
• 16:05
  friends. 10 For with the heart man believes unto righteousness,
• 16:12
  and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
• 16:17
  So you see those two entities working together to make the
• 16:21
  body and the mind subject to Jesus's lordship.
• 16:26
  Is he Lord in your life, or is he just another moral teacher on
• 16:30
  the scene? In John 14 six he says, I am the
• 16:35
  way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes unto the Father
• 16:40
  except through me. He is not one of many ways.
• 16:43
  Friends. 11 For the Scripture says, whosoever believes on him
• 16:50
  shall not be ashamed. So that is what you need to
• 16:54
  know, that if you will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, no
• 16:58
  matter what this world throws at you, all of the powers of hell
• 17:04
  cannot drag you away and pluck you out of God's hand.
• 17:09
  There is no principality, there is no evil entity that could
• 17:16
  ever overpower the love of Jesus Christ.
• 17:23
  That is what you need to know. You'll never be put to shame.
• 17:28
  If you come to the Lord Jesus Christ and receive Him as your
• 17:32
  Savior. You'll never be put to shame.
• 17:36
  And I want you to know that we do not need to fear the one that
• 17:40
  can kill the body. We do not need to have the fear
• 17:44
  of man. It must leave today, friends,
• 17:48
  and there is no greater love than for a man to lay down his
• 17:52
  life for his friends. 12 For there is no difference between
• 18:01
  the Jew and the Greek. For the same Lord over all is
• 18:07
  rich unto all that call upon him.
• 18:11
  Call upon his name and be saved. And what he wants you to know
• 18:15
  here in this verse is that even the Jews, who are his peculiar
• 18:21
  chosen people, they must come unto God through Jesus Christ.
• 18:28
  13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
• 18:32
  saved. That's it, friends, Think about
• 18:36
  it. How easy does he make it?
• 18:42
  There's none of this religious dogmatic hoopla, all of this
• 18:50
  motions and actions. No, it is calling upon the name
• 18:54
  of the Lord, and He imputes to you His righteousness.
• 19:00
  And you can stand before God Almighty one day, and all He
• 19:05
  will see is the blood of Christ, and you will be innocent before
• 19:09
  His eyes. Friends, praise God for that.
• 19:13
  But if you refuse him and you blasphemy the Holy Spirit, and
• 19:17
  you will not come to God through Jesus Christ, you will be
• 19:21
  eternally separated and damned for all of eternity, because
• 19:25
  there is no salvation apart from Jesus Christ. 14 How then shall
• 19:37
  they call on him in whom they have not believed?
• 19:41
  And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
• 19:46
  And how shall they hear without a preacher?
• 19:49
  There you are, friends. He just made it plain as day.
• 19:54
  What is the calling that is placed upon a man?
• 20:00
  And then what is? The action once we receive that
• 20:04
  calling and then what is the responsibility of those who
• 20:09
  rally around the message? And there are some that are sent
• 20:13
  and there are some that send. And that is what you need to
• 20:16
  know is that the Lord Jesus Christ has a body and there is a
• 20:23
  1 is a mouthpiece and one is the feet and some of the hands,
• 20:30
  friends. And you need to know that God
• 20:32
  Almighty is well pleased whenever we all play our part
• 20:38
  and we do not try to complain because we are a lesser part of
• 20:41
  the body. It is all supported friends by
• 20:45
  the head, and He is the head friends. 15 And how shall they
• 20:53
  preach, except they be sent as it is written?
• 20:57
  How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of
• 21:01
  peace and bring glad tidings of good things.
• 21:05
  You know God Almighty sees everything that goes on in the
• 21:08
  world and it doesn't matter if you have to lay down your life
• 21:13
  for the seed of the gospel, the seed of the church to spring up
• 21:17
  out of that blood spilled martyrdom.
• 21:21
  That is what you need to know that it is beautiful in the
• 21:23
  sight of God and his ways are not our ways.
• 21:27
  It is an upside down inside out kind of Kingdom and if you want
• 21:31
  to be the greatest, you must become the least friends and
• 21:35
  that is the way of God is humility is being humbled.
• 21:40
  It is spilling your life out and that is how you gain eternal
• 21:44
  life. And we must not fear if our if
• 21:49
  our message is rejected or if we are hated.
• 21:52
  Just remember they rejected him first and they hated him 1st 16
• 21:58
  but they have not all obeyed the gospel for Isaiah says Lord, who
• 22:04
  has believed our report. So even all the way back in the
• 22:09
  Old Testament, whenever you were reading through Isaiah, he is
• 22:12
  saying that the true prophets of the land were rejected and
• 22:18
  stiffed, armed. The true prophets of the land,
• 22:22
  they were murdered, they were arrested, they were ridiculed,
• 22:28
  they were talked down about, they were labeled as false
• 22:30
  prophets. But all the false prophets of
• 22:33
  the land that were propagating prosperity, and it's no
• 22:37
  different in our day. But all of those false prophets,
• 22:40
  they were held up in high regard.
• 22:42
  They were ushered into the King's court.
• 22:45
  And what you need to know is that it grieved the prophets of
• 22:49
  old because they were not received in the way that God
• 22:55
  wanted them to. 17 So then, faith comes by hearing, and
• 23:07
  hearing by the word of God. We do not need to add anything
• 23:12
  on to the Word of God for people to be saved.
• 23:16
  The Word of God, from Genesis to Revelation, the complete
• 23:20
  authority of God's inerrant, infallible Scripture, is all
• 23:24
  that is useful and profitable for the salvation of men.
• 23:28
  Everything else is man's opinion.
• 23:33
  There is only one truth in the entire world, and that is the
• 23:37
  Word of God. And he became flesh.
• 23:41
  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but not one of these
• 23:44
  words. Friends, do not add anything to
• 23:48
  it. Do not subtract anything to it.
• 23:52
  It is the only power that has the power to save is his word,
• 24:00
  friends 18 But I say, have they not heard?
• 24:07
  Yes, truly their sound went into all the earth, and their words
• 24:14
  unto the ends of the world. So that is what you need to know
• 24:18
  is after Christ suffered a criminal's death, was buried, it
• 24:25
  was resurrected, appeared to many and ascended to the right
• 24:29
  hand of God, The news of that Jewish rabbi, the son of a
• 24:35
  Carpenter, went out into the entire world, the whole known
• 24:39
  world. And with the invention of social
• 24:42
  media, with the invention of modern technology and
• 24:47
  transportation, the whole word has gone out to the whole world,
• 24:52
  friends, instantaneously. Everyone has access to it.
• 24:56
  But there's coming a time in a day where people will not put up
• 25:00
  with sound doctrine. And that is what you need to
• 25:03
  know. They want to be spoon fed and
• 25:06
  they're going to get spoon fed. Poison, 1 spoonful at a time
• 25:12
  until the apostate church rises. 19 But I say.
• 25:30
  Did not Israel know? For Moses says I will provoke
• 25:38
  you to jealousy by them that are no people and by a foolish

  nation I will anger you. What a call to us as believers.
• 25:50
  We must act in accordance that causes Israel to see the
• 25:57
  Messiah, to see that they have murdered him.
• 26:02
  We must act in a way and in accordance and walk with him in
• 26:08
  a way that provokes them to jealousy friends, and that is
• 26:12
  what's going to lead them home. 20 But Isaiah's is very bold,
• 26:21
  and says, I was found of them that sought me not, I was made
• 26:28
  manifest unto them that asked not after me.
• 26:32
  That is you, and that is me, the wild branches grafted in
• 26:36
  friends, we'll end on. 21 But to Israel, he says, all day long I
• 26:44
  have stretched forth my hands unto A disobedient gain, saying,
• 26:50
  People, they're stiff necked, but God loves them and they're
• 26:56
  coming in. They're going to come in,
• 26:57
  friends, and they're coming in slowly.
• 27:00
  Now that the New Testament is available in digital form,
• 27:04
  they're coming in. People are seeing that they need
• 27:07
  not wait on another. He has already arrived.
• 27:10
  And all the Old Testament points to Jesus Christ.
• 27:13
  And we'll find that out as we get into the New Testament, as
• 27:17
  we get into the Old Testament, friends.
• 27:20
  And that is what you need to know.
• 27:23
  And he started the chapter off the same way that he ended.
• 27:26
  It is that they have a zeal, but it's channeled in the wrong
• 27:32
  direction. And praise God, Hallelujah, when
• 27:35
  they finally get to see that Jesus is the Messiah, the
• 27:40
  Christ. I hope you've been blessed by
• 27:44
  this chapter. I know I sure have many times
• 27:46
  over praying for you. I love you so does God.
• 27:55
  Let's stay armored up, suited up, put on that full armor.
• 27:58
  Stay prayed up. Friends, walk in the Spirit.
• 28:04
  Show the love of Christ to everyone that you meet,
• 28:07
  regardless of the ridicule. Regardless, friends, show the
• 28:12
  love of Christ. Tell somebody your story today.
• 28:15
  And if you haven't placed your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
• 28:19
  I admonish you to do it now. Don't wait till tomorrow.
• 28:22
  Today is the day of salvation. He has his arms outstretched to
• 28:27
  you. Do not harden your hearts as
• 28:30
  they did in the days of the rebellion.
• 28:33
  Friends, love you. See you back here tomorrow.
• 28:37
  God bless you.
