• 4:54
  Speaker 1: The Gospel of John chapter number nine. If you have
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: your bibles, the Gospel of John chapter number nine, I'm
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: reading from the King James version. And as Jesus passed by,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: he saw a man which was blind from his birth,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and his disciples ask him, saying, Master, who did sin
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: this man or his parents that he was born blind?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Jesus answered, neither hath this man sinned nor his parent,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: but that the works of God should be made manifest
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in him.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Heymn.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm going to not comment on those first three
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: verses because the focus of what we're going to talk
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: about is in verse number four.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Jesus goes on to say.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I must work the works of Him that sent me.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: While it is day, the night cometh when no man
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: can work. Now, when reading the few narratives that we
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: find that have been preserved for us so masterfully by
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the power of the Holy Spirit, under the direction of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, these narratives in the Gospels, they give
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: us a snapshot, if you will, of the or several snapshots,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of the earthly ministry of Jesus. And from these narratives
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: we can see very clearly that Jesus was focused focused
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: on working while it is day, aman, not while it
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: was day, No, while.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: It is day.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And looking at by the way, if you have your
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: bibles again, turned very quickly to the Gospel of Luke,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: chapter number two. I want to read a few verses here,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: because even at the a manly in the only narrative
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: brother of the early life of Jesus after his toddler
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: days after his birth, after all of the stories of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the event that happened during his early early childhood days
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: up until about two years old or so, the only
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: narrative that we have recorded in the Gospels is found
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: in the Gospel of Luke, chapteran number two, and we
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: can see that at the age of transition we call
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: it that age when a boy, at least in that culture,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a man was in the process of transitioning from boyhood
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to manhood. And we can see from this exclusive narrative
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: in Luke's Gospel that Jesus already had a mature mind
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: of wisdom for work, for the work that he had
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: been called to do, for the work that he had
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: been sent down from heaven to do. Luke's Gospel, chapter two,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: beginning at verse number forty one, to pick it up there,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: And the child grew, what child Jesus, Lucas talking about Jesus.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He grew, and he watched strong in spirit, filled with wisdom,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the Bible says, and the grace of God was upon him.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: So Lucas talking about from the time when Jesus was
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: a babe a man, up until this present time that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: we're going to examine. Hearing this narrative, Jesus grew, Jesus
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: watched strong in spirit, Jesus was filled with wisdom, and
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the Bible says, the grace of God was upon him. Now,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: by the way, all of these attributes about Jesus are
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: applicable to us. We can grow, Amen, we are to grow.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: We are supposed to grow. We are to get stronger,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: stronger not in ourselves, Amen, but strong in the Lord.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And a matter of fact, there's a command for us
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to be strong in the Lord and in the power
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: of His might. We are to put on what whole
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: armor of God. Ephesians, chapter number six. So Jesus grew.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Jesus waxed strong in spirit. This is not physical. It's
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: not about the physical. Although we believe that Jesus to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: take on all of the punishment at his crucifixion, the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: beating and all of that, he had to have been
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of good physical stature. Nevertheless, Amen, the Bible says he
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: waxed strong in spirit, and he was.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Filled with wisdom.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: There's no excuse for any child of God not to
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: be fe with the wisdom of God. And if any
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of you lack wisdom, the Bible says, let him ask,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and God will give liberally, freely, abundantly, more than we
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: could ever need. God delights in us having his wisdom
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a man to use and to have the understanding and
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to have the knowledge that we need to navigate our
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: way through our short pilgrimage in this earth.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: So Jesus was also filled with wisdom, and the grace
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: of God was upon him. And we need not even
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a man speak of the grace of God. We know
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: that God's grace is more than sufficient for each and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: every one of us. God gives us more grace a
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: man where sin abounds, grace much more abound. So the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: grace of God, as it was upon Jesus, is also
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: upon us and with us, and for us, never leaving us,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: never forsaking us. Thank God for first number forty one.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Now his parents, that is, marrying Joseph went to Jerusalem
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: every year at.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: The feast of the Passover. This was commanded.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: This was necessary for all Jews to travel there a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: man during this festivity, the feast of the Passover. And
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: when he that was Jesus was twelve years old, they
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: his mother knew not of it, but they supposing him
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to have been in the company. You see, they had
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a whole host of people, relatives, friends, and that traveled
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: up together a man. So they assumed or they supposed
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: that Jesus was with some of the other relatives or
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: friends on the way back. So the Bible says, they,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: supposing him to have been in the company, went a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: day's journey, and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: But when they found him not, they turned back again
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: to Jerusalem seeking him. And it came to pass that
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: after three days they found him in the temple, sitting
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: asking them questions. And all who heard him were astonished
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: at his understanding and answers. And when they saw him,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: they were amazed. And his mother said unto him, son,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: why hast thou thus dealt with us? Behold, thy father
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and I have sought thee sorrowing. And he Jesus said.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Unto them, how is it that you sought me?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Knew ye not that listen what Jesus says, I must
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: be about my father's business. The Bible says they understood
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: not the saying which he spoke unto them. So here
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: we have, in this brief narrative, the only exclusive narrative
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: that we have of the early childhood days of Jesus
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: just before what we call the teen years a man,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Jesus demonstrated to us his work, ethics, his drive, his ambition,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: his motive, what he was all about, his purpose.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Amen. At the age of twelve, when he was both lost.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: And found in Jerusalem, they lost him and then they
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: found him.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: How do you lose Jesus? By the way, Amen, Thank God. Amen.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: It's not up to us to keep Jesus. Jesus keeps us. Amen, Amen,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: thank you Jesus. So Jesus was both lost and found
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: in Jerusalem about his father's business. And what did Jesus
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: say again, I must be about the business of the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: father who sent me down here to do a work.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I must work, Jesus says. While it is day.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: That's the key, ladies and gentlemen.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: While it is day, the day for Jesus to accomplish
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the work for which he came down.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: To do.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Would be a short, ladies and gentlemen, three and a
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: half years. And as a priest he was and is
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: our high priest, Amen, fulfilling all of the law. And
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: by the way, Jesus didn't, as he said of his
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: own mouth, I did not come to destroy the law
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: of the prophet.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I came to fulfill.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: So as a priest, a man fulfilling all of the law,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: he would not begin his earthly ministry until the age
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: of thirty. That was a man the law, a man,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and so at the age of thirty at the pre
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: appointed time for him to begin his ministry and to
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: again also fulfill all of the prophecy. See, everything was
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: timed perfectly. If you look at Daniels seventy weeks of prophecy,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: all of that concerning Jesus, when he would enter Jerusalem,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: when he will be cut off, and all of this, Amen,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: all of this is a man preordained, predestined, preappointed in
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the Amen, in eternity past, in the mind of God
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: and the plan of the Godhead.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: And so at the Bible speaks of this.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: By the way in the Book of Regalations, I think
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: it is in the fullness of time, in the fullness
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: of time God sent forth his son Amen. So this
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: was perfect timing, precise timing. And so it was the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: preappointed time for Jesus to begin his ministry, fulfilling all
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of the prophecies that had been spoken concerning his coming,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: when he would come, when he would die, all of
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: this a man being cut off out of the land.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Of the living.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Daniel's prophecy speaks of him being cut off. Isaiah spoke
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: of him being cut off. A man, a man Jesus,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: A man had his mind and his face. The Bible
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: speaks of him having his face, a man toward Jerusalem,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: a man toward that mission, toward the Cross, toward that,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: a man propitiation for our sins, a man toward that,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: a man blood being shed, a man his face, his motives,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: his mission, his drive. It was all set, a man
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: toward that final day when he would say, it is finished.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: It is finished, see ladies and gentlemen.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Jesus was focused on the reason why he came, for
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the causes that he came, Amen, into the world. He
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: was about finishing the work that was given him to do.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, you remember when he prayed
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Amen in the garden before he would surrender himself by
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the way, and he said, no one takes my life
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: from me. I lay it down willingly. I have the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: power to lay it down and have the power to
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: take it up.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Amen. So before that time in.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Which he would he would he would surrender himself. In
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the Gospel of John, this prayer Amen to priest. He
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: called it the high priestly prayer of Jesus, a man
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: in John's Gospel Amen, the seventeenth chapter. I believe it
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: is a man Jesus prays about what he had already finished,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: what he had accomplished, and he knew it was the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: time for him to depart.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: He knew all these things.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: So read that if you go back into the Gospel
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: of John, just read the prayer that Jesus I finished
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the work.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I finished the work.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: So he has now finished the work, and he's now
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: ready to be offered.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Amen. He's now ready to be offered up.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Amen for our sins, for our transgressions, for our iniquities.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Amen, for our redemption. Amen.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: The price that he would pay, his blood being a
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: man poured out, is for our salvation.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Amen. Jesus was focused on this.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: He was all about doing the work that he had
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: been appointed to do, or deigned to do, sent to do,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, while it is day. He was at
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: all times without distraction, ladies and gentlemen, every day of
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: his earthly ministry, doing the work of the kingdom. Now, Jesus,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: of course he ate. We know that Jesus slept, Jesus wept.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: We have at least I can recall, at least from
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: my mind very quickly. He wept at the death of Lazareth,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and he wept over Jerusalem. The Bible says, old Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Oh,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: if you had only known the time of your visitation,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Jesus ate and slept, and he wept. He also traveled extensively.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: We see that again through these few narratives, these few
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: snapshots that we have of the earthly ministry of Jesus,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: which encompass three and a half years. By the way,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the apostle John said, I suppose that if we were
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: able to write, or if we did write, all of
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: the things that Jesus did, though the whole world will
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: not be able to contain the books.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Amen. So we only have a snapshot.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: But but from what we have in the Gospel narratives
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: a man by the way, and many of these A
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: man narratives only focused on the last a man, especially
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the book of the Gospel of Genre, it only focused
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: almost on the last week or so of Jesus' ministry
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: and life on this earth. And so again, there was
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: so much more than Jesus did for these For these
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: three and a half years. And by the way, for us,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that's a very short period of time. Anyone who pastors,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: anyone who's in ministry knows that three and a half years.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're just.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Basically almost laying the foundation at three and a half years,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: especially if you're a man attempting to a man start
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: up a ministry a man, you're just getting started. But
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Jesus accomplished all of what he came to do in
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: three and a half years.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Why because he was focused on performing, on doing the work.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: He again, he didn't.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: It wasn't as though he didn't partake in his human
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: a man divinity, his human and needs humanity. Me I'm sorry,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: let me just put it that way. In his humanity again,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: he ate, He got tired, His body was tired at times,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and Jesus, of course he slept amen and he because
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: of the extensive traveling that he did, He went about
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: everywhere preaching and teaching, performing all kinds of signs and wonders.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: He forgave sinners, he cast out many devils and demons
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: all during his ministry. But he also very importantly, ladies
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, commissioned and empowered the twelve apostles to do
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: just as he had demonstrated to them as a matter
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: of fact. As a matter of fact, brother, he said,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: greater works you will do because I go to the Father.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: So when he had accomplished all that he had come
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to do, ladies and gentlemen, he did it all while
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: it is day, because that same day is still here,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, it is day. Jesus was the wonderful,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: as the Amen again the book of Isaiah. His name
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: shall be called wonderful counselor Mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: of Peace. Amen, wonderful. He was the wonderful worker of works.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I must work the works of him that sent me
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: when while it is day, Ladies and gentlemen, we have
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: to do it while it is day. Now, each and
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: every one of us have been given an allotted time
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and seasons to work, to be fruitful, to bring forth fruit,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: to bear fruit.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Now that time is called the daytime, which is today.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: By the way, while we have our being, we're not
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: talking about sun life and night time. No, no, no,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: there is a daytime and there is a nighttime. Daytime
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: and nighttime is not referring to the hours of daylight
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and the darkness of night time, from the revolving of
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: the earth around the sun from day to day, or
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: during the twenty four hour period.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, Ladies and gentlemen, day is the time
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: that you have your breath of life, the opportunity while
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart. It's day,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: while he's calling unto you. It's day, while he's giving
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: you grace and mercy. It is day, while he is.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Extending to you opportunity after opportunity. It is day because
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: there is a night time. Jesus said that comes when
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: no man can work.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: If you miss the daytime, there is no working in
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the night time.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, Each of us have.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: A time, and it is appointed unto man wants to die,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and that day is already appointed.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: That day is already on the calendar.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: If you will for all of us the coming of
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the Lord, notwithstanding the rapture of the church. Notwithstanding should
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I say there is a daytime, ladies and gentlemen, there
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: is a night time.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: While it is day, while you have your being, while
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: you have the breath of God, while you have a
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: man the opportunity while the Lord is calling. Don't be
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: like those to whom he will say, when I called
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: you refuse, when I stretched out my hand, you did
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: not regard. You set at naught all my counsel. You
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: would none of my reproof. And now now we're talking
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: about people who are still living. People are still breathing.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: But they are living, breathing reprobates. Are they walking around
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: in the daytime, of course, but they are in darkness,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: perpetual darkness, because again, the day time for them is
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: now passed.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: You don't want to be a reprobate. You don't want
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: to be cut off. And man, you have a time
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: in the season.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: We all have a time, and the season the day
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: that you hear my voice, the Bible says, harden not
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: your heart Rummans thirteen. And we're gonna close with a
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: couple of readings from the New Testament concerning day.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: And night, ladies and gentlemen, while it is day, while
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: you have life, while you have breath, this is the opportunity,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: this is the day, this is the season.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Roma's thirteen, verse eleven, And that knowing the time that
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: now not tomorrow, ladies, gentlemen, tomorrow it's not promise to
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: any of us. Now it is high time to awaken
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: out of sleep. For now is our salvation nearer than
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: when we first believe the night.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Listen what the apostle says. The night is far spent.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: The day is at hand, the day, while it is day.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: The day is at.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Hand now now, not tomorrow. Now, ladies and gentlemen, the
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: works of darkness that you said, and let us put
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: on the armor of light.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Day and night. There's a difference between day and night.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Night and day.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: There is a vast difference between daylight and darkness. They
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: cannot coexist together. They do not coexist together. When the
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: light comes, the darkness is dispelled. The darkness cannot stand up,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: cannot exist, cannot coexist with light. Ladies and gentlemen, let us,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Apostle Paul says, therefore, cast off the works of darkness,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: and let us put on the armor of light. Let
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: us walk honestly as in the day, not in rioting
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: and drunkenness, not in lewdness and wantonness, not in strife
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: and make not provisions for the flesh to fulfill the
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: luss thereof. In other words, we need to walk in
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the spirit, be led by the spirit and man, and
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: not to fulfill the desires of the flesh and of
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the mind. First, Thessalonians Chapter five, four verses here, verses
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: five through eight. Ye are all the children of light
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: and the children of the day. Look at that who
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: you are, church, people of God. You are the children
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: of the day. What am I going to do in
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the day, in the time, in the season that God
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: has given to me, I must work while it is day.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: You are all the children of light and the children
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: of the day.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: We are not of the night nor of darkness.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Therefore, listen again what apostle says, let us not sleep
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: as do other but let us watch and be sober.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: For those who sleep sleep when in the night, and
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: those who are drunken a drunken wind in the night.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: See they're in the darkness. Now again, the apostle is
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: not talking about daytime hours, daylight hours, nighttime hours, or
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: nighttime when it's darkness over the face of the earth
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: or whatever portion of the earth you are living in
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the time when day night and day night a nighttime brother.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Is upon you. No, no, no, ladies and gentlemen, this
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: is spiritual. Amen.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Those who sleep sleep in the night. Those who are
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: drunken are drunken in the night.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: But let us who are of the day.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: and for a helmet the hope of salvation, ladies and gentlemen,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: crystal clear from the scriptures, just as Jesus did, we
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: are called to work while it is day.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: We are children of the day. We've been called to
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: walk and live in the day while it is day.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Jesus, Jesus, listen again. It was no different from him.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: For him, he said, I must work while.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: It is day. Three and a half years.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: He had three and a half years to accomplish all
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: of his ministry and to go and pay the ultimate
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: price on that day for you and I to also work,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: work while it is day. Father, again, thank you, thank you,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: us this opportunity to be called the sons of God, to.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Walk in the day, to be children of the day.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Amen, to not sleep as others, but to be sober,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: to be watching, to be vigilant, to be on guard,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: for we know our adversary. The devil goes about as
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: a roaring lion, seeking whom he made devow. So Lord,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: we pray for strength to stand in such an evil
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: day and such a time as this. And Lord we
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: pray for eyes to be open, ears to be unstopped,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: hearts to be changed.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: It's only you can do.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: By the power of your Holy Spirit. Add thou to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: your church, as only you can do. We give you
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: praise to go over and honor in Jesus name, Amen
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: and Amen.
