  God, I pray for deliverance from our adversary, for yours is the
• 1:05
  Kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.
• 1:13
  Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus for a special blessing
• 1:17
  around this time today. Lord, I pray in the name of
• 1:21
  Jesus, you'll rebuke the devour from off of our minds.
• 1:25
  Rebuke the devour from off of our families, God, bind the
• 1:30
  enemy in the name of Jesus and cast him into the judgment that
• 1:34
  you have awaiting for him. In the name of Jesus, Lord, we
• 1:38
  proclaim freedom over our lives, freedom over our households.
• 1:46
  Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there's freedom.
• 1:49
  And Lord, we pray that right now, God, I pray in the name of
• 1:53
  Jesus that you'll breakthrough today for many, healing power
• 1:58
  from on high for many today. God, I pray for a breakthrough
• 2:04
  in their relationships and their marriages, God, with their
• 2:08
  children. And Lord, I pray that there'll
• 2:11
  be breakthroughs in the workplace and breakthrough God,
• 2:15
  in all of the walls that have been built up over time.
• 2:20
  Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus that there'll be such a
• 2:24
  breakthrough. God, I pray that there's
• 2:27
  breakthrough today in the legal system.
• 2:30
  God, I pray that we tear down all opposition that tries to
• 2:35
  exalt itself over the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
• 2:39
  Lord, we take every thought captive and make it obedient
• 2:42
  unto Jesus Christ. And Lord, I pray against all
• 2:46
  malice and deceit. Lord, I pray against all of the
• 2:50
  trickery. Lord, all of the occult
• 2:55
  practices. Lord, I pray in the name of
• 2:58
  Jesus against those spirits that are behind all of that.
• 3:03
  Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus that you, Lord, will reign
• 3:07
  supreme over the land, over all of the globe, over every people
• 3:13
  continent, Lord. And I pray in the name of Jesus
• 3:16
  that you'll help us to see you, Help us to know you, help us to
• 3:20
  trust you, help us to walk with you.
• 3:22
  Father, I pray against all distraction and deception.
• 3:26
  God, I pray in the name of Jesus, Lord, that will be
• 3:30
  resolute and steadfast, and God, that we will finish this race
• 3:35
  well. Help us, God, fuel us.
• 3:37
  God, I pray you that we can mount up like eagles.
• 3:40
  Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus we'll run and not grow
• 3:43
  weary. Father, I pray in the name of
• 3:45
  Jesus for a supernatural zeal, God, to fill this house.
• 3:52
  Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus that you, Lord, we'll get
• 3:56
  all the credit. It'll always be about Jesus.
• 3:59
  It's always been about Jesus and God.
• 4:02
  We exalt that name above all names.
• 4:05
  It is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Lord of Lords, the King of
• 4:10
  Kings, the long-awaited Messiah. Lord, we pray come back soon.
• 4:19
  Lord, the Spirit and the Bride say, come.
• 4:22
  We await your return, Father, but help us to wait well.
• 4:26
  Help us to finish this race well.
• 4:29
  God, let us not grow weary. Father, let us not get
• 4:34
  distracted. Father, help us, God, to see
• 4:37
  this world the way that you do through the lens of your eyes.
• 4:41
  God, give us your holy eyes. Give us, Lord, the mind of
• 4:45
  Christ. Help us to see all of this world
• 4:49
  the way that you do. Help us to know what to do.
• 4:52
  Give us discernment today. God, we're acknowledging you
• 4:55
  this morning and we're believing that you're going to direct our
• 4:58
  steps. Thank you, Father, for your holy
• 5:00
  scriptures. Thank you, Father, for all of
• 5:03
  the many blessings that you've already given to us.
• 5:06
  Thank you for waking us up and putting us on our feet.
• 5:09
  Thank you for giving us clean drinking water and something to
• 5:12
  eat. Thank you, God, for a restful
• 5:15
  night. Thank you, Lord, for our houses.
• 5:17
  Thank you, Lord, for the transportation that you've given
• 5:21
  us. Thank you, God, for our jobs.
• 5:23
  Thank you, God, for our circle of influence.
• 5:27
  Thank you, God for our families. Thank you God, for the very next
• 5:30
  breath and our lungs, Lord, Yes, Jesus, we come in, Lord, with
• 5:37
  praise. We come in with Thanksgiving.
• 5:40
  God, we enter in boldly to the throne room of grace.
• 5:44
  We thank you for the doctrine of grace.
• 5:47
  We thank you for the reality of grace.
• 5:50
  We thank you, God, that you love us and you love us well.
• 5:54
  And you are love. And the only reason that we know
• 5:57
  love is because of you. And so God, we get out of our
• 6:01
  own way and we say yes and Amen to all of the promises contained
• 6:06
  in this book, every single one of them.
• 6:10
  Lord, teach us your ways today in Jesus name I pray.
• 6:14
  Amen. Let's start in verse one.
• 6:21
  And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man
• 6:25
  there with a withered hand. So if you've been following
• 6:28
  along for any amount of time, you're going to know that this
• 6:32
  story was talked about over there in Matthew.
• 6:35
  And this is going to be expounded upon a little bit here
• 6:39
  in Mark. And you're going to get to know
• 6:42
  that these religious people had staked out and camped out.
• 6:49
  And this was a setup. This was meant to trap Jesus and
• 6:56
  all of his goodness and grace and love and mercy.
• 7:00
  This was a bunch of people that were hostile towards God.
• 7:04
  They were hostile towards the goodness of God and they loved
• 7:09
  all of their religious systems that propped them up and made
• 7:14
  them very wealthy. And you can see here just the
• 7:17
  evil intent of these men. They were coming in and they
• 7:21
  wanted to trap Jesus and to get Him to heal this man.
• 7:27
  They knew that Jesus would heal this man.
• 7:29
  How deceitful. Verse 2.
• 7:33
  And they watched him whether he would heal on the Sabbath day,
• 7:37
  that they might accuse him. So you can see they expected Him
• 7:41
  to heal. They had come from distant
• 7:44
  places just to stake Him out, just to have a opportunity to
• 7:50
  accuse Him. Verse 3 And he said unto the man
• 7:54
  which had the withered handstand forth.
• 7:57
  And Jesus says, stand up for. And he said unto him, Is it
• 8:04
  lawful to do good on the Sabbath days, or to do evil, to save
• 8:08
  life or to kill? And of course the common sense
• 8:13
  response is to save life. The common sense response is
• 8:19
  heal. But here they had made a love
• 8:22
  decision towards evil. Here, these religious people had
• 8:31
  already made their decision that this man needed to be killed and
• 8:38
  destroyed. They'd already made a love
• 8:40
  decision. They'd already decided within
• 8:43
  their hearts and minds that they were not going to reason with
• 8:47
  him. And look at the hostility.
• 8:49
  And it's no different in our day.
• 8:51
  It's no different in our hour. You can present all of the
• 8:54
  common sense themes to people and they have already made a
• 8:59
  love decision and they care nothing for it and they are
• 9:02
  unreasonable by their own omission.
• 9:10
  They are unreasonable because they will not put up with sound
• 9:16
  doctrine. They will not listen.
• 9:21
  They've there are trigger words that you say.
• 9:25
  As soon as you mentioned the name Jesus, it is game over.
• 9:30
  There is no more reasoning with them.
• 9:38
  But they held their peace. They would not answer him.
• 9:42
  Verse 5 And when they when he had looked around on them with
• 9:49
  anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he
• 9:53
  said unto the man, Stretch forth your hand.
• 9:56
  And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored whole as the
• 10:01
  other. So just imagine this real story,
• 10:05
  real time and a real man and a real place.
• 10:08
  Just imagine how this man with a withered hand stretched forth a
• 10:14
  hand that had been completely restored and healed and matched
• 10:19
  the other. Imagine this friends.
• 10:22
  This is not some fable storybook.
• 10:25
  This is not just a feel good story, friends.
• 10:28
  This is the reality of what happened.
• 10:32
  And here we're going to see how these religious leaders were
• 10:37
  completely debased in their mind.
• 10:39
  They were completely hostile towards God.
• 10:42
  They cared nothing for this man. They cared nothing that he had
• 10:46
  been restored and healed. They should have celebrated this
• 10:50
  moment, but what did they do? Six.
• 10:55
  And the Pharisees went forth straightway, took counsel with
• 11:00
  the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
• 11:03
  Look at this. You have these Pharisees who
• 11:08
  were very conservative in their approach to God.
• 11:11
  And then you have the Herodians who were sympathetic to Herod,
• 11:15
  who was actually Edomite and was the leader there, who was a
• 11:24
  usurper of authority over Jerusalem.
• 11:27
  And these two groups would have never worked together but for
• 11:32
  the common cause of murdering the Messiah.
• 11:35
  They come together. How pathetic.
• 11:38
  But it must be so friends. Woe to the ones that it comes
• 11:42
  through, but these things must happen and it's no different in
• 11:46
  our day and our hour. Friends, There are so many
• 11:49
  things that are going on in our world right now.
• 11:51
  There are so many things that are coming into the front lines.
• 11:55
  There are so many things that are coming onto the scene that
• 11:58
  are blasphemous. There are so many things that
• 12:01
  are coming onto the scene that are so deceptive.
• 12:05
  There are so many things that are going on right now with the
• 12:08
  youth and even in the elderly, and there are so many things
• 12:12
  that are happening right now. It seems as if everything is
• 12:15
  speed up and he's separating the sheep and the goats and it seems
• 12:19
  as if everything is in disarray. But these things must happen.
• 12:24
  All of these things that are happening right now in our time
• 12:26
  and our hour, they should not get us to fear.
• 12:29
  Friends, this is a magnificent time, but woe to the one whom
• 12:36
  they come through. They will not be excused.
• 12:39
  Friends, they must repent. If they have breath in their
• 12:42
  lungs, it's not too late. By the way, friends, even the
• 12:46
  people that bring in all these systems, if they repent and they
• 12:50
  turn from their wicked ways, God will heal them and forgive them.
• 12:57
  7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea,
• 13:04
  and a great multitude from Galilee followed him and from
• 13:07
  Judea. Here is a pivotal point in the
• 13:12
  ministry of Jesus Christ. Here you can see that he knows
• 13:19
  his time is short. Jesus knows that the Passover is
• 13:24
  coming. He knows the perfect timing of
• 13:27
  God Almighty. And here he's hitting a pivotal
• 13:30
  point. He's already gone in.
• 13:32
  He's already turned over the tables.
• 13:35
  He's already stirred the waters. He's already made a big scene,
• 13:41
  and he's already got everyone talking about what to do with
• 13:46
  this man. They feared the crowds, but they
• 13:50
  desire to destroy him because He was threatening their way of
• 13:55
  life. A and from Jerusalem and from
• 14:00
  Idemia, and from beyond Jordan, and they about Tyre and Sidon, a
• 14:06
  great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did,
• 14:11
  came unto him. So remember, the Gospel of Mark
• 14:15
  is all about what Jesus did. And here Mark is showing us that
• 14:20
  all these people came from all these distant lands.
• 14:23
  They made these great pilgrimages to come and see this
• 14:27
  miracle worker, this man that could drive out demons and heal
• 14:31
  the lepers. They'd come to see him.
• 14:34
  They wanted to catch a glimpse of him. 9 And he spoke to his
• 14:40
  disciples that a small ship should wait on him because of
• 14:44
  the multitude, lest they should throng him.
• 14:47
  Can you even imagine being in such a large crowd that you
• 14:55
  might get trampled upon? There was such a pressing in on
• 14:59
  him and we know that Jesus tells his disciples here, prepare a
• 15:06
  boat as my getaway ship, knowing that the people were pressing in
• 15:11
  on him and they didn't care that he was the Messiah.
• 15:14
  They did not care that he was the Son of God.
• 15:16
  They just wanted to be fed. They just wanted to be healed.
• 15:20
  And ultimately, by and large, He did not come just for the
• 15:27
  miracles and the signs. Jesus came to offer himself as a
• 15:33
  ransom so that we could escape the damnation of hell, because
• 15:39
  you and I could never behave our way into heaven.
• 15:42
  We could never be good enough to make it there.
• 15:45
  And that is the whole and reason that Jesus came to die a perfect
• 15:50
  sinless life so that you and I could stand before Almighty God
• 15:56
  one day and that he can say well done, good and faithful servant.
• 16:02
  And the only way we're going to make it in friends is by the
• 16:05
  blood of the Lamb 10/4. He had healed many in so much
• 16:15
  that they pressed upon him for to touch him as many as had
• 16:20
  plagues. You know just the hem of His
• 16:22
  garment and you receive the healing.
• 16:24
  Friends, reach out today. Grab the hem of His garment.
• 16:29
  Run into the throne room. Boldly go into the holiest of
• 16:34
  holy places. If you are covered in the blood
• 16:36
  of Jesus Christ, you can go in boldly.
• 16:39
  You can stand before Him. You can grab a hold of the
• 16:42
  healing power of Jesus Christ. Speak that name today.
• 16:46
  That is the name that brings the healing.
• 16:48
  That is the name friends, that is above all names.
• 16:52
  That is the only name that has any power.
• 16:55
  Every other God is an idol that cannot see and cannot hear.
• 17:02
  There is only one true living God and we worship Him in spirit
• 17:07
  and truth, Friends, and our healing power comes from the
• 17:11
  ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
• 17:14
  Bring that name upon your lips and be healed today. 11 And
• 17:19
  unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him and
• 17:24
  cried, saying, You are the Son of God.
• 17:28
  Even the demons know, and they tremble.
• 17:32
  It's not enough to believe in God, friends.
• 17:35
  We must put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 17:39
  It's not enough to acknowledge that God is real.
• 17:42
  Even the demons believe, and they quake and tremble, and here
• 17:48
  you can see they're acknowledging him, they know
• 17:51
  him, and Jesus has full authority over them. 12 and he
• 17:58
  straightly charged them that they should not make him known.
• 18:02
  They were trying to foul up his ministry.
• 18:05
  He was, At this time, he was still shrouded from the crowds.
• 18:12
  All they thought of Him as is a Liberator, all they thought of
• 18:16
  Him as is a miracle worker. And they were coming to be fed,
• 18:20
  and they were coming to be healed, and they had not yet
• 18:27
  acknowledged him as the Son of God, as God Almighty Incarnate.
• 18:33
  13 And he goes up into a mountain, and called unto him
• 18:39
  whom he would, and they came unto him.
• 18:41
  This is him choosing the 12 Friends. 14 He ordained 12 that
• 18:47
  they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to
• 18:50
  preach, 15 and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out
• 18:56
  devils. So here Jesus is charging these
• 19:00
  12 men with full authority to take his ministry once.
• 19:05
  Once he has been murdered, once he has been up on the cross,
• 19:09
  once he has been placed in the tomb, once he has been
• 19:13
  resurrected from the dead, once he has appeared to many and
• 19:18
  ascended to the right hand of God.
• 19:20
  These 12 -1 + 1. And we'll see that as time goes
• 19:28
  with Judas being taken out and then Matthias being placed back
• 19:34
  in this to that role. And these names on the
• 19:38
  foundation of the temple, we're going to see them there.
• 19:45
  And here you can see that Jesus is choosing these 12 and he is
• 19:51
  empowering these 12 to continue on with his ministry once he is
• 19:57
  gone. And he's going to tell us who
• 19:59
  they are. 16 and Simon, He's surname Peter and James the son
• 20:06
  of Zebedee, and John the brother of James.
• 20:11
  And he surnamed them Boandurus, which is the sons of Thunder.
• 20:17
  So here we know that Peter must have had his hand in the writing
• 20:23
  of the Gospel of Mark. We know that Mark was a disciple
• 20:28
  of Peter. We know that he was just a youth
• 20:30
  whenever Jesus was here on the earth.
• 20:34
  And here you can see a lot of these little tag lines that
• 20:41
  Peter would have spoken because you remember when he was warming
• 20:44
  himself by the fire, they said that his speech deceived him.
• 20:49
  His speech gave him away. He had a different kind of
• 20:54
  tongue. And here we're getting to see
• 20:56
  some of these Aramaic terms coming out, this Boandurus,
• 21:02
  which is then he tells us it means the sons of Thunder, which
• 21:07
  would have been a little note to the Romans, who would not have
• 21:11
  been so incredibly knowledgeable about all these Aramaic terms.
• 21:21
  So here Mark is going to let them know what all of these
• 21:26
  little terms that he uses mean. Let's keep going. 18 and Andrew
• 21:33
  and Philip and Bartholomew and Matthew.
• 21:36
  Thomas James, the son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus, Simon
• 21:40
  Canaanite. OK, there's a few things in
• 21:43
  here. You need to know that these were
• 21:48
  sent out in pairs. So you would see that Peter and
• 21:53
  James were going out, You would see that John and Andrew were
• 22:01
  going out. You see that Philip and
• 22:03
  Bartholomew are going out, Matthew and Thomas are going
• 22:07
  out, James the son of Alphaeus, perhaps Matthew's brother there,
• 22:12
  and Thaddeus and Simon, Canaanite.
• 22:19
  And you can see that Judas Iscariot, he was teamed up with
• 22:25
  Simon the Zealot, which here has nothing to do with the land of
• 22:31
  the Canaanites. This was meaning jealous or
• 22:35
  zealous. We know that Simon was a zealot
• 22:38
  here. So here you, you can see these
• 22:42
  pears, and you can see all of the power that Jesus hadn't has
• 22:46
  entrusted them with to carry. 20 And the multitude comes together
• 22:51
  again so that they could not so much as eat bread.
• 22:54
  They were being pressed in on every side, so much so that they
• 22:59
  were not even able to share a meal. 21 And when his friends
• 23:05
  heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him, for they said,
• 23:09
  He is beside himself here. This is a very interesting
• 23:14
  passage that you find in Mark. You can see that they thought
• 23:19
  that Jesus was out of his mind. They thought that Jesus needed
• 23:24
  to be wrangled in. They thought that Jesus needed
• 23:26
  to be roped in. They thought that Jesus needed
• 23:29
  to be taken a hold of and made to come back to his senses.
• 23:38
  And let's see how Jesus responds to their claim that he has lost
• 23:45
  it. And don't be surprised, friends,
• 23:47
  when you're following after the Lord.
• 23:49
  If the world thinks that you have lost it, do not be
• 23:53
  surprised. Just know that you know that you
• 23:55
  know that you know that you know that you are 110% in tune with
• 24:01
  God. And don't worry about the fear
• 24:04
  of man. Do not worry about what man is
• 24:07
  going to think. And there needs to be this fine
• 24:10
  line between being so heavenly minded you're no earthly good
• 24:18
  and being so earthly minded that you're no heavenly good.
• 24:22
  We have to be able to approach our neighbors in a way that is
• 24:28
  relative and it actually hits them and meets them right where
• 24:32
  they're at, friends. And we cannot look so incredibly
• 24:38
  lost in in rags and we're not actually approachable and people
• 24:45
  shrug us off. There has to be this fine line
• 24:48
  between those two points, friends.
• 24:53
  They said he's beside himself. Don't be surprised when people
• 24:57
  think that you have lost it. 22 in the scribes which came down
• 25:02
  from Jerusalem said he has Beelzebub, and by the Prince of
• 25:06
  the devils he cast out devils. So here, this is blaspheming
• 25:12
  right here. They are blaspheming against the
• 25:14
  Holy Spirit. We're going to learn about it.
• 25:17
  They rejected God, they rejected the land owner, they rejected
• 25:23
  the vineyard owner. Then he sent His Son and they
• 25:26
  rejected him. Now Jesus is going to warn them
• 25:32
  against the rejection of the Holy Spirit.
• 25:35
  He has gone to the right hand of the Father, but he sent the
• 25:38
  Helper, and the Helper is drawing us unto God.
• 25:42
  And if we stiff arm the Holy Spirit, and we will not accept
• 25:47
  the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior whenever the Holy Spirit
• 25:50
  is drawing us unto Himself, that is this finality, That is the
• 25:56
  rejection. That is the unforgivable sin,
• 26:00
  Friends. But here's the good news.
• 26:02
  If you have breath in your lungs, it's not too late for
• 26:05
  you. No matter what you have done.
• 26:07
  It's not too late for you, friends.
• 26:09
  And some will enter into the Kingdom of heaven as if they
• 26:13
  have escaped out of a fire. And what you need to know is
• 26:17
  that the the dividing line in all of it is if you have breath
• 26:23
  in your lungs, once you take your last breath, there are no
• 26:27
  more chances for you. There's no praying somebody out
• 26:30
  of hell. There is no purgatory, friends.
• 26:34
  That is the dividing line is that if you are alive and you
• 26:39
  still are able to call upon that name and be saved.
• 26:44
  Friends. 23 And he called, he called them unto him, and said
• 26:50
  unto them in parables. How can Satan cast out Satan?
• 26:55
  He's going to give them some common sense theology and this
• 27:01
  is something that we would do well to understand the schemes
• 27:05
  of the enemy and how he doesn't care how he gets a hold of you.
• 27:09
  You can wreck on the legalistic side of the road or you can
• 27:14
  wreck on the liberal side of the road.
• 27:16
  Satan does not care as long as you wreck your vehicle, as long
• 27:20
  as you wreck your life, as long as you make a mess out of your
• 27:25
  ministry, as long as you make a mess out of your message, as
• 27:30
  long as you make a mess out of your story, your salvation
• 27:36
  story, friends, your testimony, that's all Satan cares about.
• 27:41
  He cannot snatch you out of the Lord's hand, but he sure can get
• 27:45
  you to make a mess out of your life.
• 27:47
  And here Jesus is going to give some very simple common sense
• 27:53
  theology to all the people listening. 24 And if a Kingdom
• 27:58
  be divided against itself, that Kingdom cannot stand.
• 28:01
  And we need to know that that a house divided will not stand.
• 28:06
  We need to be united in the common goal of taking the whole
• 28:10
  word to the whole world, friends. 25 And if a house be
• 28:16
  divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
• 28:20
  Here he's referencing he just had his friends come and try to
• 28:25
  grab ahold of him and take him back into his normal life.
• 28:29
  He's been out here sleeping out in the wilderness.
• 28:34
  Here he is missing meals and they're thinking that he he has
• 28:38
  lost it. And then here comes these
• 28:40
  religious people and they're trying to frame him and trying
• 28:44
  to get the people to think that he's possessed by a devil.
• 28:48
  And here Jesus stands his ground.
• 28:50
  He will not give any ground friends with him.
• 28:52
  It's only forward friends. It's only charging the hill.
• 28:57
  It's only taking back enemy territory.
• 29:01
  Jesus is good at what he does, and Satan is bound, and Satan
• 29:06
  has no power in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 29:09
  Don't forget it. 26 And if Satan rise up against himself and be
• 29:14
  divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.
• 29:17
  This is common sense, friends. If we're supposed to be charging
• 29:22
  the hill, but then we have in fire, we have friendly fire.
• 29:26
  That is such a tactic of the enemy.
• 29:29
  You see it within churches, you see it within homes, you see it
• 29:33
  amongst believers, how there is no power.
• 29:36
  They don't have any power over us in the name of Jesus.
• 29:40
  But what do we do? We tear each other apart.
• 29:43
  It should not be so. 27 No man can enter into a strong man's
• 29:49
  house and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the
• 29:52
  strong man, and then he will spoil his house.
• 29:55
  So we know that Jesus is talking about going in and binding up
• 29:59
  Satan so that Satan has no more power, and then Jesus goes in
• 30:04
  and takes back enemy territory. Praise the Lord Almighty, praise
• 30:08
  God. 28 Truly I say unto you, all sins shall be forgiven unto
• 30:13
  the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewithsoever they shall
• 30:17
  blasphemy. 29 But he that shall blasphemy against the Holy Ghost
• 30:23
  has never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
• 30:28
  So he said this, 30's going to tell us because they said he has
• 30:33
  an unclean spirit. They were blaspheming against
• 30:36
  the Holy Spirit and if they died in that they would be eternally
• 30:40
  damned to hell. There would be no more salvation
• 30:45
  after that. And if they keep going down this
• 30:49
  road, and they're so proud of themselves that they murdered
• 30:53
  their Messiah, and they do not place their faith in him, and
• 30:56
  they do not listen to the nudging of the still small
• 31:00
  voice, They do not pay attention to the promptings of the Holy
• 31:05
  Spirit, they will be damned forever. 31 There came then his
• 31:13
  brothers and his mother standing outside, they sent unto him,
• 31:18
  calling him. 32 And the multitude sat about him, and
• 31:22
  they said unto him, Behold your mother, your brothers outside,
• 31:26
  they seek for you. 33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my
• 31:31
  mother or my brothers? 34 And he looked around and
• 31:36
  about on them, which sat about him, and said, Behold, my mother
• 31:40
  and my brothers. 35 For whosoever shall do the will of
• 31:45
  God, the same is my brother, and my sister and mother will end
• 31:50
  there. So here you can see that our
• 31:56
  love for God Almighty, our love for the Lord Jesus Christ should
• 32:02
  look like hate in comparison to the love that we have for our
• 32:10
  paternal and maternal and earthly relationships.
• 32:14
  Yes, we should love our neighbor as ourselves, but in comparison,
• 32:19
  we always side with God. We always choose Him, no matter
• 32:26
  how many people are trying to drag us away, even if it it
• 32:30
  looks on the outset seemingly good and harmless and innocent.
• 32:37
  We need to know that as the serpent was in the garden and he
• 32:41
  was whispering in Eve's ear that Adam was duped because he chose
• 32:50
  to listen to Eve over God and that was the fall of man.
• 32:56
  And we need to be on guard, friends, that sometimes those
• 33:00
  that we love so much are being used as a tool from the enemy
• 33:05
  and that's they are unknowingly doing it.
• 33:08
  And it is up to us to be able to have the discernment to know
• 33:12
  where that's coming from and to choose God over all of the
• 33:19
  things in our lives, even when people try to tell us that it is
• 33:25
  foolish. Let's be sold out for God
• 33:29
  Almighty, sold out for the King of Kings, sold out for the Lord
• 33:34
  of Lords. And do not let any cares of this
• 33:37
  world entangle you and ensnare you and choke out the faith that
• 33:43
  the Lord is trying to increase in your life today.
• 33:46
  Friends, hope you've been blessed by this chapter here.
• 33:54
  And Mark, I know I sure have. I'm praying for every single one
• 34:02
  of you. I love you.
• 34:06
  So does God, and we'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 34:10
  God bless you.
