  Speaker 1: This is the day of Jesus.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Amen. This is the day of God's.

  Speaker 1: Grace, truth, hope, peace, light, salvation and redemption.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: This is the day. Amen.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: But before we begin, we just want to take a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: moment of course as always. First of all, First of all,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, let me say this. We thank God again
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: for all of you who pray for and support the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: work of this ministry.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Please, by all means.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Those of you who can, those of you are willing,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: please become a subscriber a man. And also, by all means,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: please share it with someone else.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Our goal.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Our aim is to disseminate the truth of God without compromise,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to speak the truth of God and love a man,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and to let men and women know everywhere, as far
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and as wide as the Lord will allow a man,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: our voice to be heard, let them know that Jesus
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Christ is the Savior.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ is soon to return.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ is the only way truth and life. Life
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: is in him, a man, life is by him through him.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: In him, we live, move and have our being. Without him.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Apart from him, we can do nothing. So we are
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: here to preach Jesus Christ and him crucified. We are
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: here to a man proclaim the word of the Living God,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: as Paul admonished his son in the Gospel Timothy, preach
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the word be instant in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: exhort with all long suffering and doctrine for the time
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: will come. That was prophetic when Paul spoke these words,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: wrote these words, the time will come, and the time
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: is here now when people do not want to endure
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: here listen to a man certainly not obey sound doctrine. Nevertheless,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the call of God, the mission, the position of the elder,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of the bishop, of the minister, who is called of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: God is to hear the word from his mouth and
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: give warning from him. God has spoken clearly, succinctly. He
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: has preserved his word for us. He's given us full revelation.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Everything we need, everything we need to know, we have it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Amen. And so it is.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Simply up to us to hear what God has spoken, Amen,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and to apply it to our lives in obedience, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: therein we will be blessed.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Amen. All right, look chapter number four.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: If you have your bibles, and let's take a moment
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to amen, go to the Lord and pray again. Father,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: We thank you, we love you, we praise you, we
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: bless you. We pray now for open eyes, ears, unstopped hearts.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Change. Lord, that your kingdom, your name, your church, your people.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Amen, Amen, will be lifted up in a world that
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: is without hope, when it is a world that is
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: without you. And so we want your name to be magnified,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: your kingdom to be magnified, your glory to be revealed
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Lord, be that light that only.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Says, that only delivers, that only sets the captive free.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray that your
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: word would go forth with power and anointing.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Amen and Amen, all.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: About Jesus, All about Jesus.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And again, our focus today is this is the day.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: This is the day of grace, This is the day
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of truth, This is the day of hope, This is
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the day of peace, light, salvation, and redemption. Luke Chapter
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: before Jesus at the very outset of his earthly ministry,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: early on, he was only three and a half years.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: By the way, what a powerful and effective short ministry.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Three and a half years of ministry. But it was powerful,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it was effectual, it is enduring even now.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: The gospels give us a snapshot of some of the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: things that Jesus said, some of the things that Jesus did.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: But this period of ministry was only three and a
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: half years, by the way, as John wrote in his Gospel,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: it is not possible that the world would be able
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to contain the books that could be written of all
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that Jesus said and did in just that short period
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: of time. And so during the early part of Jesus' ministry,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Luke chapter number four records for us how that Jesus
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: was going about a man in his ministry, healing and delivering,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and set in the captive free verse fourteen would pick
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it up there of Luke chapter four, Jesus return in.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: The power of the spirit.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Take note of that, in the power of the Spirit,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: into Galilee, and his fame went out through all the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: region round about, and he talked in their synagogues, being
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: glorified by all. And he came to Nazareth, where he
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: had been brought up, speaking of his childhood. And as
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Sabbath day and stood up to read. So then here
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: we got we have it here now again. So many
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: things that Jesus did. There were only a few snapshot
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: instances in the gospels where we see Jesus in the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: synagogue on the Sabbath day a man. And some of
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the things that transpired there for example, the healing of
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: a couple of people that happened a man at the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: synagogue on the Sabbath days. But the Bible tells us
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: here that this was a custom of Jesus a man
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to go into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. But
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: on this particular day, the Bible says, he went to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to read, and there was delivered unto him the.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Book of the Prophet Isaiah.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: And by the way, if you not familiar with this,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: what I'm about to read, Jesus is going to be
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: reading from Isaiah chapter sixty one. Is we have now
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the chapter divisions. Isaiah chapter sixty one is where we
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: find these words that Jesus is about to read. So
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: there was delivered unto him the book of the Prophet Isaiah.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: When he had.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Opened the book, he found the place where it was written.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Verse eighteen.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: hath appointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: He hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to preach the Acceptable Year.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Of the Lord.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: And he closed the book, and he gave it again
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to the minister and sat down, and the eyes of
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: all those who were in the synagogue were fastened on him,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and he began to say unto them, this day.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Is this scripture fulfilled in your ears? Wow.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: The prophet Isaiah, hundreds of years centuries before the incarnation
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: of Jesus coming into the world, prophesied of one who
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: would come, as described in the prophecy concerning this person.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: The spirit of the Lord is upon me, annoying to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: preach the gospel to the poor, sent to heal the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: broken hearted, to deliverance to those who are in captivity,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the recovery of sight to the blind, liberty for those
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: who have been bruised, preaching the Acceptable Year of the Lord.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Jesus says to those who were in attendance, and certainly
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: to us as well, this day, this is the day
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: that this scripture is fulfilled in your ears. In other words,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: what Jesus is saying, I am he, I am the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: anointed one, i am the Messiah. I'm the one that
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: you've been waiting for. I'm the one that you've been
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: looking for. I'm the one that you've been praying for.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I'm the one that you been longing for. But take
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: note that Jesus here fill with the spirit, anointed to preach,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: appointed to the poor. He's the healer of those who
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: are broken. He's the deliverer of those who are captives.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: He's the restorer of those who have no eyesight. He's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: deliberator of those who are in prison. Jesus, in other words,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: is saying to the people per the prophecy, that he
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: is the fulfillment of I am he, and this is
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the day for you to have deliverance, healing, restoration, and liberation.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: First of all, spirit of the Living God. And by
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the way, without the spirit, oh see, life comes to
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: us in the beginning. In the beginning the spirit of God,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the Bible says, moved upon the face of the waters.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: God is Spirit, and by his spirit all things exist.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: And again apart from him, without him nothing, Without the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Spirit of Living God, there is no life, there is
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: no hope, there can be no change.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: And so this is why Jesus came.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: He came, the Bible says, in the power of the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, and the power of the Holy Ghost to
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: bring about change in the lives of all men who
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: are living in darkness and hopelessness and in despair. And
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the command that Jesus gave by the way to his
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: apostles after his resurrection and before his ascension back up
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: into Heaven, was for them to go to Jerusalem and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: wait for the promise of the Holy Spirit. Why because
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: without the power of the Spirit, no matter that they
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: had spent three and a half years with Jesus, no
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: matter that they had witnessed all of the miracles, signs
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and wonders, and even Peter, James and John, who were
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: what we call of the Inner Circle, they witnessed things
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: that some of the others did not. For example, the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: transfiguration on the Mount a man. They saw a man
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: with Jesus and Moses and Elijah, a man seeing things
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and hearing things, and being in the midst of Jesus,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and even being empowered by Jesus to go out. Not
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: only them, but he had seventy that he sent out
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: as well, with the power of the Holy Spirit, to
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: go and to heal and to preach the Gospel of
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the Kingdom. Nevertheless, they were not yet filled with the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: holy ghosts. And so in order a man to a
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: man and go out and preach the gospel, preach the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: good news a man and be an effective minister witness
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, the power that he has, the power that
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: he possesses, and the reason and the purpose for his coming,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: in other words, a bearer of the good News.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: The only way that we can be.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Effective with that is to be empowered with the spirit
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of the Living God. And that's who Jesus was by example.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: He was filled with the spirit, and he commanded his apostles,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and the command stands for the Church of Jesus Christ
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: to this very day. Because with that it's not by power,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: it's not by might, it's by the Spirit of the
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Living God.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: They could not go into all the world preaching Jesus
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: preaching the Gospel without being in power by the holy
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: spirit of life that emanates from God alone. Wait, Jesus says,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: for the promise of the Father, Wait and you will
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: be endued with power from on high.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Jesus is our example, and he was filled with the spirit.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: He was filled with the power and the anointing, and
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: the Bible tells us he was anointed to preach.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: The gospel to the poor. That's what he said.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I came to I'm the fulfillment of the anointed one
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: who is to preach the good news, to proclaim good news.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: That's what the gospel is. The gospel is good news.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: He was appointed by the way. Also, Jesus said this
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: very specifically to the poor. And what did Jesus say
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: about the poor, specifically about those who are poor in spirit?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Blessed of the poor in spirit.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Blessed are those who are hungering and thirsting after the
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: righteousness that is of God.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Amen, For they.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Shall be felled, they shall be satisfied. They shall be
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: no longer thirsty, no longer hungry, no longer longing for
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: a man looking for because the power of the Holy Spirit,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the feeling that comes. And by the way, Jesus said,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I am the bread, I am the water.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I will be in you a well of water springing
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: up to.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Ever lasting life.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And you've got to eat of that bread and drink
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: from that well that never runs dry. Remember the conversation
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Jesus had with the woman at the well. Gospel of
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: John chapter five, I believe it is chapter four.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Amen. This woman, Amen, didn't know didn't know who Jesus was. Amen.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: And jesusaid, if you knew.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: A woman, if only you knew the gift of God,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: if only you knew and understood who it was that
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: you were having a conversation.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: With, you would ask of him. You would ask of me,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: and I would give you living water. Amen.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: So Jesus came a man to preach to the poor,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: those who are hunger, those who are hungering and thirsting
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: after the righteousness, because Jesus has just what we need.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Amen. And he will fill us and we will be satisfied. Amen.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: And the anointing and appointing a man to preach the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: gospel of the Kingdom again can only be from God
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: who calls. Amen, those who are to minister the word
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: of the Living God, and those whom he called by
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: the way he equips with power, with the perseverance that
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: it takes to endure persecution. Amen, to stand in the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: face of adversity, to endure hardship.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: This is what Paul said to Timothy.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: That you are to endure hardness as a good soldier
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ. Because no man who wars, no man
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: who engages in warfare, entangles himself with the affairs of
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: this life.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Amen, So whom and by.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: The way, all you have to do is look at
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the prophets of old and the apostles themselves.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: These were ordinary people who were equipped by God, called
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: by God. Now remember remember, never get this, by the way,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: never forget this. The apostles, for example, in a New Testament,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: we know about the prophets of old, how many of many,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: if not all of them, most of them, a great
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: majority of them were severely persecuted, and a great great
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: number of them were martyred a man for.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Speaking the word and preaching the word.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: And almost all of the apostles died of martyrdom as well.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Amen, and and and and and listen. You cannot stand.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Up to the persecution, the scrutiny, the criticism a man,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the trials, and the tribulation, and the suffering a man
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: without the power of without the comforting.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Of the Holy Spirit.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Now again, let me give you an example of this,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the prime example of this.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Remember, prior to.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: The apostles receiving the guilt of the Holy ghosts, they
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: were cowardly, they were afraid, they had run and hidden themselves.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: After the death of Jesus. They thought it was over.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: But what was the difference between Matthew twenty eight, the
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: end of the Gospel of John, the end of the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Gospel of Louke, the end of the Gospel of Mark,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and Acts chapter two. The difference, ladies and gentlemen was
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: number one, they saw the risen Savior, and number two,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: they received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which empowered them.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: It anointing them Jesus, anointing them Jesus appointed. See, you
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: can have the appointment if you don't, if you can
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: have the cart See. A lot of people think they're
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: called and believe they're called. But where is the power.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: The power is in the Holy Spirit. Is of the
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. You have to be led by the Spirit
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: of God. And how can you be led by the
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Spirit of God.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: If you don't have the Spirit of God, if he's
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: not in you.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: As many as are led by the Spirit of God.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: These are the Bible says. Sons of God.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Got a lot of preachers preaching without the spirit, without
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: the power, without the Holy Ghost, and they believe, some
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: of them evidently.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Believe that they have been called to do it.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I'm perplexed in my mind how they can read the Bible,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: read the Word of God, which clearly commands that we
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: be filled with the spirit.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: And yet.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: You can call yourself a preacher of the Gospel, Amen,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: without the Holy Spirit of God. All right, no man,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: by the way, is to take this calling upon himself
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: without being anointed and appointed a man for this service.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: And this again, anointing, an appointment comes only from above.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: And remember again, Jesus is our high priest and example,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: our forerunner, the one who went before us.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: And we walk and follow in his footsteps. And he
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: was filled with the Holy Spirit and power. And also
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: again he also took on baptism, as he told John.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: The Baptists suffer it to be so, for it fulfills
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: all righteousness. Then, of course, Jesus said he was sent
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: to heal. Now, of course, many of us associate the
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: healing ministry of Jesus almost exclusively with the miracles of
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: healing that he performed during the limited time. Again, of
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: his earthly ministry was only during a period of about
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: three and a half years.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Now, if we.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Relegate Jesus as the healer primarily or exclusively to the
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: physical body of man, which by the way is still perishing, which,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: by the way, is appointed.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: To go back to the dust. Then we are missing.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: The most potent purpose of the healing that every man is.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: In dire need.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Of the healing that we all need is brokenness. Brokenness
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: is what we are. Brokenness is who we are. We
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: are broken people. We are broken vessels, vessels, we are falling.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Sin caused brokenness in our hearts and minds and souls.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: We have broken fellowship with God. We are extrained from God.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: We run from God, we hide, we attempt to hide
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: rather from God. And then of course we have broken,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: horribly broken fellowships and relationships with one another. And this
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: is what Jesus came to heal. He came to heal
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the brokenness. Remember there were several occasions again reach your
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: gospels when Jesus healed people of different sicknesses or disease,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: or infirmities or whatever.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: What did he say, go and what sin? Know more?
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Because sin is the causation of many of the maladies
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: that we have. The brokenness that's in us, especially again,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the spiritual brokenness is sin. We have a sin problem,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: and only Jesus can heal that. So he came to
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: heal the broken heart.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: That's all of us.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Then Jesus of course came with a mission of deliverance
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: for those who were in captivity. There were then and
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: is to this day. Those who do not know, those
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: who do not believe, or those who do not understand,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: they are in captivity as servants of sin, and again
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: are in dire need of the deliverance that only comes
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: from Jesus. As Jesus himself said, if you don't believe
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: that I am he, You're gonna die in your sins.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I am the way. I'm your way out. I'm the truth.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Truth is what sets you free.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I am the life in me.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: You will live and have life, and you will have
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: it more abundantly. This aspect of the ministry of Jesus healing, healing, healing,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: it's critical to our ability, by the way, to even
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: continue to have life in this world. I am thoroughly convinced,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: beyond any reasonable doubt in my mind at all.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: If Jesus.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Is not by his spirit, not by his a coming,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: not by his presence, not by his gospel that he
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: has left, not by his word, If Jesus is none
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: existent for us in this world today, if Jesus had
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: not come. In other words, I honestly cannot see how
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: we would survive as a human race. I honestly cannot
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: see how we could have survived even with the Church
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: being here and by the way, and the Holy Spirit, which,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: by the way, is the restraint. And this is why
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I know this, because the Bible speaks of the Holy
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Spirit being the restraining force.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: What is it restraining? What is he? Rather restraining? He?
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit is not a part of it. It
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: is a he. So I retract, my I misspoke when
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I said it. He the Holy Spirit is the restraining
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: force that keeps back the.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God, we don't we have no idea of
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: how wicked and how evil, and how nefarious, and how
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: deadly and how destructive the powers of the darkness, ladies
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, that will be, by the way, when the
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is removed, when he is taken up, when
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the Church is taken up out of this world, there
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: will be mayhem.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: I am convinced.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: This is why Jesus is, I mean, the light, the
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: life a man, the lifeblood, And again is in me.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: You live and move and have your existence, Even those
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: who are in the darkness yet who are without the
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: hope of this great salvation.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: And I pray that there.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Will be many, many millions and more that will come
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: to know this light and this.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Hope that is in Jesus.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: But even those who are presently outside of the ark
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: of safety, they also are living and breathing and moving
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: and operating, all because of Jesus, all because of the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: spirit of the Living God.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Amen. And this is what Jesus came to do.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: He came to deliver us, Amen, from this that we
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: are not even aware of.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: He came to heal this brokenness. He came with this
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: mission of deliverance of those who are in captivity, even
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: though they don't know it, some even though they don't
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: believe it.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Some even that need for those who do not understand.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: It, your need of deliverance from captivity, because you are
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: a servant of sin, Amen, and you need Jesus, and
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: he's the only one.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Who can deliver you.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: And so this aspect of the ministry of Jesus is
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: critical to our ability to continue to even have life.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: In this world.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Bondage breeds hopelessness and depression and despairing of life. So
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: why we have so many suicidal people today because what
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: they've lost hope. Jesus said, I've come that you might
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: have life, not only have life, but have it more abundantly.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: He came to deliver us from this sentence of death
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: that sin has brought on us. And when we are
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: delivered from the bondage of sin and death, our eyes
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: are then open. Jesus said, I came to give sight
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: to the blind.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Our eyes are open. What eyes are natural eyes?
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, not the natural eyes, amen, but
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the glory of the light of the Gospel, the glory
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: of God shining in our hearts. There were a few
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: select blind men who had received their sight through the
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: miracle of healing that Jesus performed while he was here.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: But no, no, no, no, Jesus is not talking about deliverance
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: or sight to the blind in the natural perspective or
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: from the natural perspective. But great blindness is what Jesus,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: and spiritual blindness, by the way, that is yet remaining
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: on the eyes of the masses of people who are
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: yet again to understand that Jesus came to open blinded eyes.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: And I pray that all the time Lord opened blinded
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: eyes Jesus said, except a man be born again. Nicodemus,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: he had this conversation with John chapter three.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: He cannot see.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: You can't see, You can't see the Kingdom of God
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: until you are born again, delivered from the bondage of sin.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: That is the instant.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Moment when your eyes are open and you begin to
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: see life and the world and everything from a whole
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: new perspective, because the scales.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Have fallen from your eyes.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: And finally, of course, Jesus came to open the doors
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: of the prison to liberate captives who had been bruised,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: bruised in part by the tormenting burden.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Of sin and guilt.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Now did Jesus come to liberate innocent victims who were
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: just bystanders, who were just like I mean, prisoners of war.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no no.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Jesus, heymen, didn't I come to liberate righteous, innocent people.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: He came to liberate the guilty, the guilty debt tour
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: who could not, by any meanings, bail himself or herself
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: out of the impossible, out of the insurmountable sind debt.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: That they owed.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus came to preach listen again.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: The gospel to the poor.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: He came to heal the broken hearted. He came to
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: preach deliverance to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: to set it liberty them that are bruise, to preach
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the acceptable year of the Lord.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: And he closed the book. He gave it back to
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: the minister, and he.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Said to them, this day is this scripture fulfilled in
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: your ears. Ladies and gentlemen. What Jesus is saying is
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: this is the day. This is the day of grace.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: came by Jesus Christ, Truth to set you free.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: This is the day of hope. This is the day
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: of peace.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Now we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: by whom we have received the atonement. This is the
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: day of light. Jesus said, I'm the light of the world.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: And if you're in Jesus, you have the light of life.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: You won't be groping any longer in the darkness. This
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: is the day of salvation. For unto us a child
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: is born, unto us a son is given, the government
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: shall be up on his shoulders.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: He came as the Savior.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: He is the Savior, born, the King, born to save.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: She shall bring forth a son.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall say
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: his people from their sins.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: This is the day.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: This is what Jesus I came to fulfill all that
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: was written of me.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: And this is the day. This day is your.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Day of salvation, of redemption, of reconciliation.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: This is the day for you.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: If you have not already come to Jesus in brokenness
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: and contrition and repentance, this is today for you to
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: hear the call of the voice of the Lord speaking
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: to you, to hear the knocking of Jesus at the
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: door of your heart, because he's come to.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Set the captive free. He's come to remove the scales.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: From your eyes and the shackles of bundage that have
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: you bound up in sin.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: This is the day Father helps someone. Today.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Lord, let your word, let your word, let your power,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Let your spirit please penetrate somewhere someone They come to
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: know and see and hear believe that you are the Christ,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the Son of the Living God, the Savior of all
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: them that believe. Be glorified, be magnified, and Jesus name,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: we bring your thanks Amen, and amen.
