Latest / Zion Word Ministries International Podcast / #698: The Triune God
Transcript
- 0:31SPEAKER_01: I want to start in verse 1 of Exodus chapter 20 tonight.
- 0:38SPEAKER_01: God spake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which has brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
- 0:48SPEAKER_01: Now, in like manner, he's brought us out of the world, out of bondage from the Satan.
- 0:54SPEAKER_01: And then verse 3, Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
- 1:00SPEAKER_01: I want everybody to say that out loud.
- 1:01SPEAKER_01: You ready?
- 1:02SPEAKER_01: Go.
- 1:07SPEAKER_01: Nothing's changed.
- 1:12SPEAKER_01: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
- 1:17SPEAKER_01: You know, we've got some images.
- 1:19SPEAKER_01: Images in New York needs to be torn down.
- 1:24SPEAKER_01: Or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or what is in the water under the earth.
- 1:33SPEAKER_01: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.
- 1:38SPEAKER_01: I am the Lord thy God, I am jealous of God.
- 1:43SPEAKER_01: Visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.
- 1:51SPEAKER_01: Father, your words are very serious tonight, and maybe bring it forth in the doctrines of the Trinity in Jesus' name.
- 1:57SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 1:58SPEAKER_01: There is no such thing as a generational curse to a Christian.
- 2:03SPEAKER_01: Generational curses are not handed down to third and fourth generation because we don't hate God.
- 2:09SPEAKER_01: What's the scriptures say?
- 2:12SPEAKER_01: To them that hate God, they got a heap of problems, a lot of troubles, not only in their life, but the third and fourth generation that comes after them.
- 2:26SPEAKER_01: So you see, a lot depends upon what we do with our walk with God.
- 2:32SPEAKER_01: I know one thing, God's jealous, and we best not have any other gods before him.
- 2:40SPEAKER_01: Self can be a God.
- 2:44SPEAKER_01: But we do not bow the knee to Satan.
- 2:48SPEAKER_01: We don't bow the knee to Baal.
- 2:51SPEAKER_01: There's only one God we bow the knee to.
- 2:57SPEAKER_01: As I was endeavoring to video some Kenyans uh Saturday morning at about 7 o'clock, 7 a.m.
- 3:08SPEAKER_01: I was talking to them about the Trinity.
- 3:11SPEAKER_01: And uh in the Christian faith, there is a triune God.
- 3:20SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 3:23SPEAKER_01: I know there's one God, but then the Bible plainly teaches us there are three persons and one divine essence.
- 3:33SPEAKER_01: Now these three persons in the Godhead cannot be separated, even though they can appear at different places at different times at will.
- 3:46SPEAKER_01: There's not three gods, there's one God.
- 3:51SPEAKER_01: The revelations unfold as you go through the scriptures, and there's no time it takes hours to go through all of the revelations of the Trinity, but uh it is a revelation.
- 4:06SPEAKER_01: Only found in the scripture.
- 4:09SPEAKER_01: I I get a little annoyed when they're asking God to bless this one and that one on the TV and everything, and the grace of God.
- 4:17SPEAKER_01: I writ I wrote that wonderful country music song and blah blah blah, and they always do the sacred number to cover up their barrenness of spirit and so forth and so on.
- 4:29SPEAKER_01: But God says the heart.
- 4:32SPEAKER_01: And we best not have any other gods before him.
- 4:37SPEAKER_01: That needs to be in the schools.
- 4:40SPEAKER_01: Actually, the Ten Commandments need to be in the schools.
- 4:43SPEAKER_01: Because if a person's not saved, they're in effect.
- 4:50SPEAKER_01: In Acts chapter 17, verse 29.
- 4:55SPEAKER_01: Let's look at Acts chapter 17 and verse 29, please.
- 5:01SPEAKER_01: For as much then as we are the offsprings of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead, everybody say the Godhead.
- 5:07SPEAKER_01: Now that's a strange term that Paul used.
- 5:12SPEAKER_01: It's like gold, silver, or stone graven by art and the man's devices.
- 5:19SPEAKER_01: Remember when the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, it wasn't long that Aaron the high priest was pressured into molding a golden calf.
- 5:29SPEAKER_01: Moses is on top of the mountain 40 days with the Lord God, and he received the Ten Commandments and tablets of stone written by the finger of God.
- 5:39SPEAKER_01: What a revelation that was.
- 5:42SPEAKER_01: He comes down and he hears dancing and all types of immorality going on, worshiping the golden calf.
- 5:51SPEAKER_01: This be the God that brought us out of Egypt, and Moses lost his temper and broke the commandments.
- 5:58SPEAKER_01: And it was downhill ever since, even though he had to go back and get them again.
- 6:04SPEAKER_01: But the Lord is a jealous God, and I'm concerned we've got a lot of idols and false gods in our country.
- 6:14SPEAKER_01: Whatever stands between you and the Lord is wrong.
- 6:20SPEAKER_01: We can make an idol or a god out of about anything, but you know, a statue cannot do anything, and there are those that have totem poles, this and that, and all type of witch doctor concepts and so forth and so on.
- 6:34SPEAKER_01: But there's only one true God.
- 6:37SPEAKER_01: But Satan does have some power, but not all power.
- 6:42SPEAKER_01: For example, when I was in uh Kenya a couple years ago, these pastors were sitting around, and this one began to talk about the witch doctors.
- 6:53SPEAKER_01: And he said, We witnessed this witch doctor sitting in a chair and stretch his arm about eight feet or so and open a doorknob, open the door, and then shrink his arm back, and we watched him do it.
- 7:12SPEAKER_01: I have some literature that have actual events that took place where these guys could shape shift and turn into birds and this and that.
- 7:22SPEAKER_01: I don't doubt it.
- 7:23SPEAKER_01: I mean, I haven't witnessed that myself, but Satan does have some elusive power.
- 7:32SPEAKER_01: And he can shape shift, by the way.
- 7:36SPEAKER_01: And so if his if he can shape shift, then his ministers can do the same thing, but it's the wrong spirit.
- 7:42SPEAKER_01: Like, for example, when Moses and Aaron went in and threw the rod down and it turned into a snake.
- 7:50SPEAKER_01: You know the account, everybody.
- 7:52SPEAKER_01: Well, the the soothsayers could do the same thing, and those sticks became serpents.
- 8:00SPEAKER_01: But God has more authority than Satan.
- 8:04SPEAKER_01: And Moses' snake ate up the other two.
- 8:11SPEAKER_01: Now we read that, that could have gone on for an hour.
- 8:15SPEAKER_01: We don't know.
- 8:16SPEAKER_01: They're not in a hurry in those days.
- 8:18SPEAKER_01: Where are they going?
- 8:20SPEAKER_01: And so we read this and we we it would take some time for one snake to eat up two others, wouldn't it?
- 8:27SPEAKER_01: Don't you think?
- 8:28SPEAKER_01: Especially if there's biathons.
- 8:32SPEAKER_01: So these things are real, but God has more power.
- 8:37SPEAKER_01: So our faith needs to be in God.
- 8:42SPEAKER_01: And when Jesus said, have faith in God, we've got to understand, again, everybody, there's three persons and one divine essence, known respectfully today as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
- 8:55SPEAKER_01: Well, uh, let's go to Colossians chapter 2 and verse 9.
- 9:01SPEAKER_01: And you know, there's a scripture in 1 John that says these three are one.
- 9:11SPEAKER_01: The Father, the Word, and the Spirit, these three are one.
- 9:15SPEAKER_01: So the way I explain this is three persons operate as one.
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: So when God said the Trinity was operating as one.
- 9:32SPEAKER_01: For a lack of understanding on my part, the Father wills it, the Word spoke it, and the Spirit went to work.
- 9:42SPEAKER_01: That's as far as I can go.
- 9:45SPEAKER_01: But you know, we see the sun, we have light, and we have heat.
- 9:49SPEAKER_01: You're a triune being.
- 9:51SPEAKER_01: So it's not difficult to understand, but comprehending the Trinity is another thing.
- 9:58SPEAKER_01: But we must accept the fact there is a triune God.
- 10:03SPEAKER_01: The fact is, this person, this vessel, does not believe that a person can be saved by Jesus only.
- 10:13SPEAKER_01: Now, Jesus is a savior.
- 10:15SPEAKER_01: That's true.
- 10:17SPEAKER_01: But he didn't sacrifice himself to himself.
- 10:24SPEAKER_01: He didn't send himself on the day of Pentecost.
- 10:27SPEAKER_01: So all through the Bible, there's three in operation.
- 10:32SPEAKER_01: Now, let's cut them some slack.
- 10:34SPEAKER_01: If they receive Jesus as Savior and Lord, they could be saved.
- 10:37SPEAKER_01: But then their understanding is darkened about this subject.
- 10:44SPEAKER_01: So God will be the judge.
- 10:46SPEAKER_01: But from my viewpoint, there's a heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
- 10:52SPEAKER_01: That's it.
- 10:53SPEAKER_01: So we are Trinity and belief, the Zion Word Church.
- 10:56SPEAKER_01: Do you hear that out there?
- 10:58SPEAKER_01: We're Trinitarian.
- 11:01SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 11:02SPEAKER_01: Are you dogmatic about it?
- 11:04SPEAKER_01: I sure am.
- 11:08SPEAKER_01: Because Jesus is the one that baptizes with the Holy Ghost.
- 11:11SPEAKER_01: He doesn't baptize with himself.
- 11:14SPEAKER_01: He didn't pray to himself, ascend back to himself, and sit on the right half of himself.
- 11:20SPEAKER_01: So how stupid can we be?
- 11:23SPEAKER_01: But I have to deal with this to keep this church straightened out, which is almost impossible unless the Holy Spirit reveals the revelation.
- 11:35SPEAKER_01: I struggled with it for years.
- 11:37SPEAKER_01: How many of you can explain the Trinity?
- 11:40SPEAKER_01: I explain like an egg.
- 11:43SPEAKER_01: If I had an egg here, you'd say, well, that's an egg.
- 11:46SPEAKER_01: Well, there's an eggshell.
- 11:48SPEAKER_01: And there's the white part.
- 11:51SPEAKER_01: What's the white part?
- 11:53SPEAKER_01: Egg.
- 11:54SPEAKER_01: And there's a yoke.
- 11:57SPEAKER_01: What's a yolk?
- 11:58SPEAKER_01: Egg.
- 12:03SPEAKER_01: It depends on your understanding of these things.
- 12:07SPEAKER_01: Well, in Colossians chapter 2 and verse 9, so God uh used Paul to use the word Godhead, which simply well let's look at Colossians 2 9 then.
- 12:23SPEAKER_01: Who is the image of the who is the image of the invisible God?
- 12:26SPEAKER_01: Now that that's heavy.
- 12:28SPEAKER_01: So who is the image of the invisible God?
- 12:32SPEAKER_01: Well, Christ is.
- 12:34SPEAKER_01: He said, if you've seen me, you've seen the Father.
- 12:37SPEAKER_01: I and the Father are one.
- 12:40SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 12:43SPEAKER_01: So Christ is the express image of the Father.
- 12:48SPEAKER_01: He's not the Father.
- 12:52SPEAKER_01: He's the Son today.
- 12:56SPEAKER_01: The firstborn of every creature.
- 12:58SPEAKER_01: And so what the Bible is telling us is that the completion of fullness of deity was in Christ.
- 13:09SPEAKER_01: Now, how big is God?
- 13:11SPEAKER_01: How much power does he have?
- 13:12SPEAKER_01: All of the above.
- 13:15SPEAKER_01: And yet it all resided in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ when he was in the physical body.
- 13:24SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 13:26SPEAKER_01: Unexhaustible, unexplainable, except we have to accept by the faith that in him dwell all the fullness of the Godhead and bodily form.
- 13:36SPEAKER_01: No wonder they wanted him.
- 13:40SPEAKER_01: Except the religious crowd.
- 13:42SPEAKER_01: Well, they're crispy critters, so don't worry about it.
- 13:46SPEAKER_01: It's all over but the crying, all right?
- 13:50SPEAKER_01: In Hebrews chapter 1 and verse 8 now.
- 13:55SPEAKER_01: So listen, church, we're not going to bend on this.
- 14:00SPEAKER_01: There's a triune God.
- 14:03SPEAKER_01: One God in three persons.
- 14:07SPEAKER_01: Don't bend on that.
- 14:10SPEAKER_01: Hebrews 1 and verse 8.
- 14:14SPEAKER_01: To ten, please.
- 14:17SPEAKER_01: Added to the Son, he said.
- 14:18SPEAKER_01: Who's talking?
- 14:20SPEAKER_01: The Father God.
- 14:22SPEAKER_01: So to paraphrase, the Father God said to the Son, Your throne, O God.
- 14:30SPEAKER_01: Wait a minute.
- 14:31SPEAKER_01: God is saying the Son is God.
- 14:41SPEAKER_01: And he goes on, the scripture says, forever and ever a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom.
- 14:49SPEAKER_01: Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity of it, therefore, God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
- 14:58SPEAKER_01: So when Christ was flesh, he was anointed without measure above any prophet that ever existed.
- 15:05SPEAKER_01: In fact, all of them together, he had more of the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
- 15:12SPEAKER_01: The Holy Spirit is not the Father God.
- 15:18SPEAKER_01: And you, Lord.
- 15:19SPEAKER_01: Now here we got God the Father saying that Jesus is Lord.
- 15:26SPEAKER_01: Well, we had the sign, Jesus is Lord here in the church.
- 15:29SPEAKER_01: That's right.
- 15:31SPEAKER_01: He is the Lord God.
- 15:35SPEAKER_01: He is deity.
- 15:38SPEAKER_01: And you must accept Christ not only as your Savior, but your Lord and your deity, one God.
- 15:46SPEAKER_01: But you need to understand the Godhead and how the Holy Spirit reveals the Godhead to the church.
- 15:55SPEAKER_01: Thou, Lord, in the beginning has laid the foundation of the earth.
- 15:59SPEAKER_01: Wait a minute.
- 16:01SPEAKER_01: God said Jesus, whom we know as Jesus the Son, was God and Lord, and that He laid the foundations.
- 16:12SPEAKER_01: So the Creator became the Savior.
- 16:17SPEAKER_01: No other religion on earth can say this.
- 16:21SPEAKER_01: They have no Son, they have no Savior except true Christianity, which cannot be disproved by the resurrection of Christ.
- 16:32SPEAKER_01: And so our faith is not in vain.
- 16:33SPEAKER_01: Praise God.
- 16:34SPEAKER_01: We haven't believed in vain.
- 16:38SPEAKER_01: The Lord in the beginning has laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the work of your hands.
- 16:43SPEAKER_01: So the scripture tells us that the living word, whom in no as Jesus today, created everything that is.
- 16:52SPEAKER_01: Praise God.
- 16:54SPEAKER_01: Except evil.
- 16:58SPEAKER_01: Now in Colossians chapter 1 and verse 15.
- 17:06SPEAKER_01: Now catch this if you can.
- 17:09SPEAKER_01: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature?
- 17:15SPEAKER_01: Let me ask you, who is the image of the invisible God?
- 17:18SPEAKER_01: Well, Jesus is.
- 17:38SPEAKER_01: All things were created by him and for him.
- 17:43SPEAKER_01: That's who we're serving.
- 17:45SPEAKER_01: Right there.
- 17:46SPEAKER_01: And nothing's changed.
- 17:49SPEAKER_01: In Revelation 4 and verse 11 now, please.
- 17:54SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Lord.
- 17:56SPEAKER_01: He's listening, you know.
- 17:58SPEAKER_01: How do I know?
- 17:59SPEAKER_01: The Spirit listens.
- 18:01SPEAKER_01: You see, what the Spirit knows, the Son knows.
- 18:04SPEAKER_01: And what the Son knows, the Father God knows.
- 18:07SPEAKER_01: There's no secrets in the Godhead.
- 18:10SPEAKER_01: Well, now Jesus didn't know when he's coming back.
- 18:13SPEAKER_01: That was when he was on the earth.
- 18:15SPEAKER_01: But he went back to heaven.
- 18:16SPEAKER_01: There could be no secrets in the Godhead.
- 18:19SPEAKER_01: See, Christ knows exactly when he's going to come back.
- 18:27SPEAKER_01: We don't know.
- 18:29SPEAKER_01: Don't need to know.
- 18:31SPEAKER_01: But I'm confident he knows.
- 18:34SPEAKER_01: By the Spirit.
- 18:38SPEAKER_01: Everything that Jesus knows is by the Spirit.
- 18:43SPEAKER_01: Praise God.
- 18:45SPEAKER_01: Because the Spirit is omnipresent, not Jesus.
- 18:49SPEAKER_01: Jesus is in heaven as the God man in the flesh and bone body.
- 19:00SPEAKER_01: He's confined.
- 19:02SPEAKER_01: Get a hold of this.
- 19:03SPEAKER_01: God, the second person, the living word, is confined to a flesh and bone body.
- 19:12SPEAKER_01: But he still knows everything the Spirit knows.
- 19:16SPEAKER_01: Past, present, and future.
- 19:18SPEAKER_01: You know why?
- 19:19SPEAKER_01: Because Jesus is God.
- 19:21SPEAKER_01: That's what I'm saying.
- 19:23SPEAKER_01: Who is Jesus?
- 19:25SPEAKER_01: He is God manifest in the flesh.
- 19:27SPEAKER_01: That's who he is.
- 19:28SPEAKER_01: That's who he was.
- 19:29SPEAKER_01: That's who he is.
- 19:30SPEAKER_01: That's who he's always will be.
- 19:32SPEAKER_01: But he didn't go to heaven as the Son of Man for Himself.
- 19:35SPEAKER_01: He went into heaven to represent us as our great, faithful high priest to the Father God.
- 19:42SPEAKER_01: Praise God.
- 19:43SPEAKER_01: That's the reason when you accept Christ, the Father God accepts you.
- 19:48SPEAKER_01: And how is that done?
- 19:51SPEAKER_01: By the Spirit.
- 19:55SPEAKER_00: We'll be right back to today's message.
- 19:58SPEAKER_00: But first, we want to take a moment to thank you for assigned words with international projects.
- 20:04SPEAKER_00: A sign words are heart and simple.
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: The first help us.
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: Yes, what's this?
- 20:32SPEAKER_00: Dionwork.com.com.
- 20:37SPEAKER_00: Now, let's get back to the eight powerful message for Dr.
- 20:41SPEAKER_00: Wayne.
- 20:42SPEAKER_01: Revelation 4 and verse 11, then.
- 20:45SPEAKER_01: Thou art worthy.
- 20:46SPEAKER_01: See, we we uh they sing that song, and I want them to sing it because it's scripture.
- 20:51SPEAKER_01: Thou art worthy, O Lord.
- 20:53SPEAKER_01: Who are we talking about?
- 20:54SPEAKER_01: The Lord Jesus.
- 20:55SPEAKER_01: That's what we're talking about.
- 20:57SPEAKER_01: That's what they're talking about in heaven when they sing this song after the rapture.
- 21:04SPEAKER_01: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power.
- 21:08SPEAKER_01: You have created all things for thy pleasure.
- 21:11SPEAKER_01: They are and were created.
- 21:15SPEAKER_01: So Christ was the one that was the spokesman for the Godhead, and he is the one that said, Let me.
- 21:24SPEAKER_01: Because the word is the spokesman for the Trinity.
- 21:30SPEAKER_01: But as the revelation unfolds in the Scripture, we find that the Spirit can talk, Jesus can talk, and the Father can talk.
- 21:41SPEAKER_01: And still be distinct in the Godhead.
- 21:46SPEAKER_01: Ephesians 3 and verse 9.
- 21:48SPEAKER_01: I'm going to have to shut it down here pretty quick now because you're going tilt on me already.
- 21:53SPEAKER_01: Ephesians 3 9.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hidden God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.
- 22:17SPEAKER_01: Does everybody see that?
- 22:20SPEAKER_01: So the anointed Messiah, as we know him today, created all things: past, present, and future.
- 22:32SPEAKER_01: Glory to God.
- 22:34SPEAKER_01: The only thing that the Godhead did not create was Satan.
- 22:40SPEAKER_01: He created Lucifer.
- 22:43SPEAKER_01: God did not create sin.
- 22:45SPEAKER_01: Nobody knows where these sin came from.
- 22:48SPEAKER_01: It was found in Lucifer and it cost him everything.
- 22:54SPEAKER_01: He fell, and Jesus said he beheld Satan fall like lightning to the earth.
- 23:01SPEAKER_01: So Christ existed when Lucifer was kicked out.
- 23:08SPEAKER_01: How was Lucifer kicked out?
- 23:10SPEAKER_01: Well, there was war in heaven.
- 23:13SPEAKER_01: The angels of Lucifer did not prevail.
- 23:16SPEAKER_01: And it was Kung Fu City on the streets of gold.
- 23:22SPEAKER_01: The angels who are more stronger than a human being.
- 23:31SPEAKER_01: Kicked him out.
- 23:34SPEAKER_01: That's the reason this fessel believes when the church goes marching into glory one day in the future, and Satan will be permanently kicked out then, we're gonna get some cheap shots in.
- 23:47SPEAKER_01: Because when we go up, they got to go down.
- 23:52SPEAKER_01: What do you mean?
- 23:53SPEAKER_01: Lucifer, Satan can still accuse the brethren in heaven right now.
- 23:57SPEAKER_01: Why God allows it?
- 23:59SPEAKER_01: I don't know unless the Lord likes to boast about how what we're doing against the kingdom of darkness.
- 24:05SPEAKER_01: Could that be possible?
- 24:07SPEAKER_01: Lord God might feel pretty good about what we're doing, whipping upon the demons, huh?
- 24:12SPEAKER_01: Fulfilling his will on the earth is only we can do.
- 24:16SPEAKER_01: You think?
- 24:17SPEAKER_01: Well, we'll find out one day for sure, but that's a good guess, I think.
- 24:22SPEAKER_01: The Bible says that all things were created by Jesus Christ.
- 24:26SPEAKER_01: Now, Revelation chapter 5.
- 24:32SPEAKER_01: And verse 1.
- 24:33SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 24:35SPEAKER_01: Alright.
- 24:39SPEAKER_01: Maybe before I read that, let's look at one more scripture.
- 24:43SPEAKER_01: Uh Mark chapter 1, verse 9 to 11, because people are still confused about the triune God.
- 24:50SPEAKER_01: And so this is very plain.
- 24:52SPEAKER_01: Anyone can understand this in Mark 1, verses 9 to 11, please.
- 24:57SPEAKER_01: Then we'll go to Revelation 5 and we'll conclude the scripture part here.
- 25:02SPEAKER_01: It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized of John in Jordan.
- 25:10SPEAKER_01: And straightway, coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens open, and the spirit, like a dove, descended upon him.
- 25:20SPEAKER_01: And there came a voice from heaven and said, Thou art my beloved son, in whom I'm well pleased.
- 25:29SPEAKER_01: There's three.
- 25:33SPEAKER_01: And immediately, verse 12, the Spirit drives Jesus into the wilderness.
- 25:38SPEAKER_01: Jesus didn't drive himself into the wilderness.
- 25:41SPEAKER_01: The spirit compelled him to go to take the battle to the devil.
- 25:46SPEAKER_01: Say amen, somebody.
- 25:48SPEAKER_01: That was a real test right there.
- 25:50SPEAKER_01: But Christ overcame.
- 25:53SPEAKER_01: The real test that Christ went through as a son of man was in the Garden of Gethsemane.
- 25:59SPEAKER_01: He had to overcome even his human nature.
- 26:05SPEAKER_01: He didn't want to die.
- 26:07SPEAKER_01: He was a very man, but very God in one person.
- 26:10SPEAKER_01: The only way we can explain Christ Jesus, he was all God and all man in one person, none respectfully today, as the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
- 26:21SPEAKER_01: That's who he is.
- 26:24SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 26:25SPEAKER_01: And now let's go to Revelation 5 to close this little sermon in here.
- 26:30SPEAKER_01: I hope you're picking up a few nuggets here.
- 26:34SPEAKER_01: And let me read some scripture here.
- 26:36SPEAKER_01: Now, this occurs in the future.
- 26:39SPEAKER_01: In heaven.
- 26:41SPEAKER_01: You know, we have a heavenly book here that tells us events taking place in heaven.
- 26:49SPEAKER_01: Now, in verse 1, John the Revelator said, I saw in the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book written.
- 26:56SPEAKER_01: That was the Father God.
- 26:58SPEAKER_01: Everybody say Father God.
- 27:00SPEAKER_01: Now when we pray, it's scriptural to say Father God.
- 27:07SPEAKER_01: So many, oh Lord God, wait a minute.
- 27:10SPEAKER_01: He's the Father.
- 27:13SPEAKER_01: If you've been begotten of Him by the Spirit, then He's your Father.
- 27:21SPEAKER_01: And He needs to receive the honor due to Him.
- 27:24SPEAKER_01: Father God is the name we need to use when we're praying to the Father God.
- 27:31SPEAKER_01: Now we can pray the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 27:34SPEAKER_01: And we can even talk to the Holy Spirit, contrary to most churches.
- 27:40SPEAKER_01: You can't stop me from talking to the Holy Spirit.
- 27:44SPEAKER_01: Because he talks to us sometimes.
- 27:46SPEAKER_01: Can't we talk with him?
- 27:50SPEAKER_01: But we primarily pray the Heavenly Father by the Spirit in Jesus' name.
- 27:55SPEAKER_01: That's the formula, primarily.
- 27:57SPEAKER_01: But when Stephen was being stoned, he looked up and saw Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and he said a prayer, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
- 28:07SPEAKER_01: If that's not a prayer, I'll eat this Bible.
- 28:11SPEAKER_01: You're not supposed to pray to Jesus.
- 28:13SPEAKER_01: Well, Stephen did.
- 28:16SPEAKER_01: When are we going to break out of the box?
- 28:18SPEAKER_01: People.
- 28:19SPEAKER_01: You can pray to Father, Son, or Holy Spirit as you want to.
- 28:26SPEAKER_01: Praise God.
- 28:28SPEAKER_01: Kill that cow right there.
- 28:33SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Holy Ghost.
- 28:36SPEAKER_01: And the Holy Ghost said, Separate to me, Paul and Martin, for work I've called them to do.
- 28:41SPEAKER_01: Oh, no, no.
- 28:42SPEAKER_01: Jesus didn't say it, the Spirit did.
- 28:47SPEAKER_01: Who's the Spirit?
- 28:49SPEAKER_01: God.
- 28:49SPEAKER_01: Peter said you haven't lied to the men, you lied to God the Holy Ghost.
- 28:53SPEAKER_01: And Annas' fire fell down dead, and they carried them out and buried them.
- 28:58SPEAKER_01: That's revival.
- 29:00SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
- 29:01SPEAKER_01: We don't want a real revival because people might start dying.
- 29:09SPEAKER_01: No.
- 29:11SPEAKER_01: God's going to have a pure church without a spot or wrinkle.
- 29:16SPEAKER_01: I suggest we keep our commitment up to date.
- 29:23SPEAKER_01: Praise God.
- 29:25SPEAKER_01: Well, so I saw on the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book written within on the back side, the seal with seven seals.
- 29:34SPEAKER_01: I saw a strong angel proclaim with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book and lose the seals?
- 29:41SPEAKER_01: And no man in heaven nor in earth, neither under the earth was able to open the book and look thereon.
- 29:46SPEAKER_01: And I wept much, which is John, I wept much, he said, because no man was found worthy, no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look on it.
- 29:57SPEAKER_01: And one of the elders said to me, Weep not.
- 30:00SPEAKER_01: Behold the line of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed to open the book and loose the seven seals thereof.
- 30:11SPEAKER_01: And I beheld and low in the midst of the throne of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders stood the Lamb, everybody saying the Lamb.
- 30:17SPEAKER_01: Remember, John the Baptist said, Behold the Lamb of God.
- 30:20SPEAKER_01: The text of we're the sin of the world.
- 30:22SPEAKER_01: The hear of the Lamb is in heaven.
- 30:26SPEAKER_01: And I heard, as it had been slain.
- 30:29SPEAKER_01: Yes, he was slain on the cross.
- 30:32SPEAKER_01: Having seven heads, seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent forth in all the earth.
- 30:38SPEAKER_01: There's only one Holy Spirit that's symbolic.
- 30:41SPEAKER_01: And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him to set upon the throne.
- 30:45SPEAKER_01: Now you're going to get hold of this.
- 30:46SPEAKER_01: The Lord Jesus Christ was the only one in heaven and earth and beneath the earth that was worthy to come to the Father of God's throne and take the scroll from him and loose the seals thereof.
- 31:00SPEAKER_01: The only one.
- 31:03SPEAKER_01: And came, he came and took the book out of the right hand and he had sat upon the throne.
- 31:07SPEAKER_01: When he had taken the book, the four beasts, the four and twenty elders, by the way, they represent the saints.
- 31:13SPEAKER_01: The church also, which fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps and golden vials full of orders, orders, and which are the prayers of the saints.
- 31:22SPEAKER_01: So the prayers of the saints are bottled up, and at this time they're going to be released.
- 31:26SPEAKER_01: God's going to answer, thank you, Lord Jesus.
- 31:29SPEAKER_01: God's going to answer every single prayer that we've ever prayed in faith by Jesus' name.
- 31:35SPEAKER_01: Done deal.
- 31:39SPEAKER_01: Praise God.
- 31:40SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
- 31:44SPEAKER_01: And they sang a new song.
- 31:47SPEAKER_01: Thou worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof, for thou wast slain.
- 31:52SPEAKER_01: This is Jesus.
- 31:55SPEAKER_01: You were slain and have redeemed us.
- 31:59SPEAKER_01: Thank God.
- 32:01SPEAKER_01: He's the kinsman redeemer of everybody.
- 32:04SPEAKER_01: He alone is the redeemer of the human race.
- 32:08SPEAKER_01: But they must accept him for who he is.
- 32:15SPEAKER_01: You have redeemed us to God by thy blood.
- 32:20SPEAKER_01: The blood that was shed on the cross is the way of redemption.
- 32:24SPEAKER_01: The only way of redemption.
- 32:29SPEAKER_01: Out of every kindred, tongue, people, and nation.
- 32:33SPEAKER_01: When we get to heaven, there'll be all different colors of skin on people.
- 32:42SPEAKER_01: Some will be black, some will be brown, some will be white, some be green.
- 32:46SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 32:48SPEAKER_01: Some be everything mixed in between.
- 32:50SPEAKER_01: It doesn't matter.
- 32:51SPEAKER_01: All different languages and tongues and dialects.
- 32:55SPEAKER_01: God understands them all at the same time.
- 33:01SPEAKER_01: And that's made us into our God, kings and priests.
- 33:04SPEAKER_01: Get the saints, and we shall reign on the earth.
- 33:09SPEAKER_01: Can't be disproved.
- 33:11SPEAKER_01: Glory to God.
- 33:12SPEAKER_01: Do you believe the word tonight?
- 33:15SPEAKER_01: Now I've got a note here as I close this about who Jesus is.
