  Hebrews chapter 10. Let us pray our Father who is in
• 0:08
  heaven, Lord, we lift your name up higher, higher than any other
• 0:14
  name in all the galaxies in the universe, God, over every land
• 0:19
  and over every continent. Let your name be the name that
• 0:22
  is above all names. God, the name that we speak,
• 0:25
  that heals Lord, that saves, Father, that provides.
• 0:31
  God, we know that you are our everything.
• 0:35
  You are Lord, you are the only uncreated.
• 0:41
  So God, we keep your name holy. We keep your name set apart.
• 0:47
  God, help us to not blasphemy. God help us not to use it
• 0:50
  loosely. Father, help us to correct those
• 0:54
  who ignorantly say all kinds of blasphemous things using your
• 0:59
  name, God. It is holy and it is pure, Lord,
• 1:04
  and it is precious to us. God, we pray for your Kingdom,
• 1:10
  Lord, to come to this earth. Help us not to try to set up our
• 1:14
  own Kingdom here on this earth. Help us not, Lord, to make it
• 1:18
  all about the wrong things and to lean the ladder on the wrong
• 1:21
  house. God, I pray in the name of Jesus
• 1:25
  that it'll be your Kingdom that we push towards, that we
• 1:28
  propagate, that we are enamored by God, that we want more than
• 1:34
  we want our own reputation or financial security.
• 1:39
  God, it is your Kingdom, your Kingdom alone that we yearn for.
• 1:45
  And God, we pray for your will to be done today, no matter how
• 1:49
  hard that is, God, no matter what it costs us.
• 1:52
  Lord, we want your will only. God help us to lay down all of
• 1:57
  our selfishness, all of our carnal earthly pleasures.
• 2:02
  God, I pray that your will, your perfect and pleasing plan for
• 2:07
  all the ages. God, I pray that we will rest in
• 2:12
  what you want for right now, Lord, whatever that looks like.
• 2:16
  God, we want your will to be done on this earth just as you
• 2:21
  have planned it there in heaven. God, I pray for the daily bread
• 2:26
  as we open up your word. Let us feast upon the bread of
• 2:29
  life. God, let us drink upon the water
• 2:33
  from the rock. God, I pray for manna and quail
• 2:36
  today. Lord, I pray in the name of
• 2:39
  Jesus you'll feed us with the Ravens.
• 2:41
  God, I pray in the name of Jesus that you will cause us to eat
• 2:46
  the fish on the shore with you. Lord, I pray that you will feed
• 2:51
  us, God, however you deem fit. Lord, and let us be content with
• 2:57
  little or much. God, I pray that you'll forgive
• 3:01
  us just as we've been forgiven. Lord, help us not to be bitter.
• 3:08
  Help us not to be those that are calloused, God, and that are
• 3:12
  grieving your spirit, Lord, because we won't let go of wrath
• 3:16
  and malice and deceit. Lord, I pray in the name of
• 3:20
  Jesus that we'll be sold out lovers of Yeshua.
• 3:24
  God, I pray in the name of Jesus that we'll extend forgiveness
• 3:28
  out to those that don't even deserve it there, don't even
• 3:31
  want it, and don't even ask for it.
• 3:33
  God, But we will naturally say forgive them, for they know not
• 3:38
  what they do. Lord, I pray that you'll keep us
• 3:41
  from the adversary, keep us from the accuser of the brethren,
• 3:45
  God, keep us from the prowling lion God that seeks to devour
• 3:51
  us. God, I pray that you'll allow us
• 3:54
  to walk with you, to talk with you, God, to go where you go.
• 4:00
  Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus for a hedge of protection
• 4:03
  around our ministries and around our houses, around our families
• 4:07
  and around our workplaces, around our finances, God, around
• 4:10
  our cars. Lord, I pray in the name of
• 4:13
  Jesus for a hedge of protection around our country.
• 4:19
  Lord, I pray that you'll protect us from all of the evil,
• 4:23
  maliciousness, God, that is being propagated at the highest
• 4:27
  levels. Lord, yours is the Kingdom, not
• 4:34
  ours. Yours is the power.
• 4:37
  You are omnipotent, Father, You're all powerful and all
• 4:42
  knowing God, and you're everywhere all at once.
• 4:46
  Yours is the glory, glory, glory, glory, Hallelujah, glory.
• 4:55
  God, encompass us with your light, encompass us with your
• 5:00
  presence, the Shekinah, glory. God, where we cannot even speak,
• 5:04
  we cannot even minister. God, it is your glory that we
• 5:08
  want and it's in Jesus Christ. Holy and precious name, I pray,
• 5:18
  Amen. Well, let's start in verse one
• 5:25
  for the law having a shadow of good things to come are and not
• 5:31
  the very image of the things can never with those sacrifices
• 5:36
  which they offered year by year continually make the comers
• 5:40
  thereunto perfect. So here the writer of Hebrews,
• 5:44
  He just flows from 1 chapter to the next friends.
• 5:48
  It's one thought if you were keeping up with the last chapter
• 5:51
  in Chapter 9. This is just a continuation of
• 5:55
  everything that the writer of Hebrews was saying.
• 5:57
  This T-bone steak that we're getting to munch on, friends,
• 6:01
  we're off of the milk. And now we're deep, deep, deep
• 6:05
  in the Mariana Trench, eating upon the meat of God to for then
• 6:13
  would they not have ceased to be offered because that the
• 6:18
  worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of
• 6:22
  sins. So that's the thing about the
• 6:25
  old way before Christ came, whenever Moses had instituted
• 6:30
  all of the laws and the regulations, friends, that as
• 6:33
  soon as the Day of Atonement was over, there goes sin creeping
• 6:37
  back in and their conscience is being pricked of all the sins
• 6:42
  that they were committing. That they could never be
• 6:45
  completely at one with God because sin stood in the way.
• 6:51
  And it was only the blood of Jesus Christ that completely and
• 6:55
  once and for all took away our need for this remission of sins.
• 7:02
  And it is only by Jesus that we get there.
• 7:05
  It is not by our own works, so that any man should boast, 3 But
• 7:11
  in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins
• 7:17
  every year. For for it is not possible that
• 7:20
  the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
• 7:25
  That's the thing about it. It was all pointing towards
• 7:28
  Jesus Christ and what He was going to do on Calvary. 5
• 7:33
  Wherefore when He comes into the world, he says, sacrifice and
• 7:39
  offering you would not but a body.
• 7:42
  Have you prepared for me? So all the way back in Psalms,
• 7:46
  the Psalmist understood that Jesus Christ was going to be
• 7:50
  fully man and fully God, and that is what was going to please
• 7:54
  God Almighty for the complete and total forgiveness of all of
• 8:01
  mankind's sins once and for all. The shedding of Jesus Christ,
• 8:06
  the only Begotten's blood on Calvary would completely cover
• 8:11
  and make us at one with God. 6IN burnt offerings and sacrifice
• 8:18
  for sin, you have had no pleasure.
• 8:22
  So God never took any pleasure in the shedding of the blood of
• 8:28
  the bulls and the goats and the red heifer and the doves and the
• 8:31
  pigeon friends. God never took any pleasure in
• 8:35
  that. It was only to point towards
• 8:39
  Jesus and what Jesus was going to do. 7 Then said, I Lo, I come
• 8:48
  in the volume of the book, it is written of me to do your will, O
• 8:52
  God, this is Jesus crying out to Father, and he's saying, Lo,
• 8:57
  I've come to do your work, God, to do your will, Father, not my
• 9:01
  own. That was what he was talking
• 9:03
  about in Gethsemane, whenever he's praying, O God, your will,
• 9:08
  and not my own. 8 above, when he said sacrifice and offering and
• 9:14
  burnt offerings and offering for sin, you would not neither had
• 9:18
  pleasure in it where which are offered by the law.
• 9:22
  So God took no pleasure in the taking of the life of the bulls
• 9:28
  and the goats, friends, He was pointing towards Christ.
• 9:32
  That's what it all culminated in and now everything points back
• 9:36
  to that moment. 9 And then said, he Lo, I come to do your will, O
• 9:45
  God, he takes away the 1st that he may establish the second.
• 9:49
  We are in the new covenant, friends.
• 9:54
  We are in the New Testament, friends.
• 9:57
  The executor of the will has died and everything has come
• 10:01
  into effect, friends, and now we are the beneficiaries of
• 10:07
  redemption. We've been bought.
• 10:10
  We've been bought with a high price, a real high price.
• 10:14
  Forensic cost him his very life. 10 By the which will we are
• 10:24
  sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once
• 10:30
  for all. Thank you, Jesus, for your
• 10:35
  sacrifice. We can know that we know that we
• 10:39
  know that we know where we're going to spend eternity because
• 10:43
  we have placed our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and whoever
• 10:48
  places their faith in him will never be put to shame. 11 And
• 10:54
  every priest stands daily, ministering and offering,
• 10:59
  offering oftentimes the same sacrifices which can never take
• 11:04
  away sins. We see Jesus Christ seated
• 11:07
  because he has the finished work.
• 11:10
  We see these priests standing and they're having to
• 11:12
  continuously keep going back over and over and over because
• 11:17
  of our sin nature that can only be taken care of and eradicated
• 11:22
  by the blood of Jesus Christ. 12 But this man, after he had
• 11:27
  offered one sacrifice for sins, forever, sat down on the right
• 11:34
  hand of God. He is finished, it is finished,
• 11:39
  He is seated, which shows that he has completely won.
• 11:47
  There is no need for any more sacrifices.
• 11:51
  He is the all sufficient sacrifice for the Atonement, so
• 11:56
  that you and I can be made at one with God forever and ever
• 12:01
  and ever. And we do not need to worry
• 12:04
  about how we stand or what God thinks of us.
• 12:08
  And it is all based upon the finished work of Jesus, not upon
• 12:13
  our merit, not upon our measure, not upon the scales and
• 12:18
  balances. It's not about about anything
• 12:21
  that we have done. It's everything that he did,
• 12:24
  friends. And that is the only way that
• 12:27
  we're going to be made right with God and that one with God
• 12:30
  and justified and righteous before God and holy because he
• 12:35
  is holy. 13 From henceforth affecting, till his enemies be
• 12:43
  made a footstool. 14 For by one offering he has perfected
• 12:48
  forever them that are sanctified. 15 where of the Holy
• 12:53
  Ghost also is a witness to us. For after that he had said
• 12:58
  before, 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after
• 13:02
  those days, says the Lord, I will put my laws into their
• 13:06
  hearts, and in their minds I will write them. 17 And their
• 13:10
  sins and iniquity I will remember no more. 18 Now where
• 13:14
  remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
• 13:18
  Jesus Christ finished it. Jesus Christ came and won, and
• 13:26
  there is no more need to wait for another.
• 13:29
  He is the Messiah, He is the Christ, and we see that his work
• 13:35
  is finished. God is going to make Jesus's
• 13:43
  enemies a footstool. It looks as if sometimes the
• 13:49
  evil will win the day, but just know we serve a risen Lord and
• 13:55
  there is no power outside of the power that God allows.
• 14:01
  And he only had to suffer once and now he's perfected for ever.
• 14:07
  And he lives to sanctify us, to make us more and more like
• 14:10
  himself. And He gave us the down payment
• 14:13
  of the Holy Ghost. And we can see now that we are
• 14:17
  never the same. We're not the same people,
• 14:19
  friends. And that is a witness for us
• 14:22
  that we know that we know that we know that we know where we're
• 14:24
  going to spend eternity. He gave us a promise.
• 14:29
  He made us a promise that where He is, we will be friends.
• 14:33
  And He's going to give us a new heart and give us a new mind.
• 14:37
  We're not going to see things the way that we used to or hear
• 14:40
  things the way that we used to. We're going to be able to hide
• 14:43
  His word in our hearts, friends, and we don't have to worry about
• 14:47
  if our sins and iniquities will be remembered and counted
• 14:50
  against us, because it is not about our merit.
• 14:54
  It's all about Jesus's work on the cross.
• 14:56
  Now, because of what Jesus did, we can be completely clean and
• 15:02
  clear in our conscience. Friends 19 having their four
• 15:09
  brothers the boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of
• 15:14
  Jesus, we don't have to worry about if we got all the little
• 15:18
  requirements right before we come in to the holiest of holy
• 15:22
  places. He ripped the veil from top to
• 15:24
  bottom and now we can come boldly into the throne room of
• 15:28
  grace where the Shekinah glory is.
• 15:31
  And we can be made right with God because of Jesus 20 by a new
• 15:36
  and living way which He has consecrated for us through the
• 15:40
  veil, that is to say, His flesh, as his flesh was torn open,
• 15:47
  friends, and he was bleeding. Friends.
• 15:50
  That blood is what covers us and it cleanses us and it makes us
• 15:56
  right with God, if we will just believe and place our faith in
• 16:00
  the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 in having a high priest over the
• 16:06
  House of God. 22 Let us draw near with the true heart in full
• 16:11
  assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from the evil
• 16:15
  conscience, and our bodies washed with the pure water.
• 16:19
  You see the blood of Christ on Calvary and His side opened up
• 16:23
  and the water gushing out, and that is what we cover ourselves
• 16:28
  in. We are not just dunked in water,
• 16:30
  we are washed in the blood of Christ and now we can be pure
• 16:36
  and clean and whole and we can be holy just because of what He
• 16:41
  did for us. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith
• 16:48
  without wavering, for he is faithful that promised.
• 16:51
  It's not about us, friends. It's not about if we have the
• 16:56
  faith that can move the size of the the size of a mustard seed
• 17:01
  that can move the mountain. It's all about who that faith is
• 17:04
  placed in. That's the whole point of the
• 17:09
  whole matter. We've got to take our eyes off
• 17:12
  of self and put our eyes on Christ Jesus, the Author and the
• 17:17
  perfecter of our faith, and he will lead us from glory to
• 17:21
  glory. 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love
• 17:29
  and to good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of
• 17:34
  ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting
• 17:39
  one another. And so much the more as you see
• 17:42
  the day approaching. He's saying, Do not forsake the
• 17:46
  assembling as some are in the habit of doing.
• 17:50
  Don't stop coming together. This quininea, friends, this one
• 17:55
  anothering one another. We need to be in fellowship.
• 18:00
  Iron sharpens iron. No man is an island, friends.
• 18:04
  We need to be those that help each other and provoke each
• 18:09
  other into greater measures, friends, and be able to be there
• 18:13
  when somebody's going off track, to be able to have
• 18:17
  accountability, friends. That is what God desires for us,
• 18:21
  not to just stay in our little holy huddles, but to actually go
• 18:27
  out and to actually be the church to the world.
• 18:33
  As we see the day approaching, how much more if the writer of
• 18:37
  Hebrews was telling them to assemble?
• 18:44
  As they saw the day approaching, how much more viable, how much
• 18:49
  more relevant is it for our day and our hour to assemble?
• 18:54
  As we see the day approaching, this is not a time for us to
• 18:59
  capitulate. This is not a time for us to
• 19:02
  turn inward. Friends, This is a time for the
• 19:06
  church to actually be the church.
• 19:08
  As we see the birth pangs and the crowning of the sun's head.
• 19:13
  As we see the blessed return of Jesus Christ.
• 19:17
  And every single generation needs to be the generation that
• 19:22
  expects to see the second coming of Christ. 26 For if we sin
• 19:30
  willfully, after that we have received the knowledge of the
• 19:34
  truth. There remains no more sacrifice
• 19:38
  for sins. Jesus is the only way to the
• 19:40
  Father. There is not Jesus plus another
• 19:43
  way. There's not Jesus plus another
• 19:46
  religious leader. It is Jesus alone, and if we
• 19:51
  turn our backs and become apostate and fall away from the
• 19:55
  faith, there is no more forgiveness for your sins.
• 20:00
  And this is not telling us that people are going to lose their
• 20:04
  salvation. If someone loses their
• 20:06
  salvation, they never had it to begin with.
• 20:09
  You can't lose something that you never had to begin with.
• 20:13
  These are the people who have gotten so close and they were at
• 20:18
  the door. And they counted the cost, and
• 20:22
  they found that the cost was too much, and they went back to
• 20:26
  their vomit friends. 27 But a certain fearful, looking for a
• 20:33
  judgment, and fiery and indignation which shall devour
• 20:37
  the adversaries, that is how we work out our salvation, with
• 20:42
  fear and trembling. 28 He that despised Moses's law died
• 20:49
  without mercy under two or three witnesses.
• 20:53
  So here we are, We're on the other side of the law.
• 20:56
  We're in grace, friends. And how much more despicable is
• 21:02
  it for somebody to turn their back on a loving God?
• 21:07
  But here's the reality. If there's breath in your lungs,
• 21:11
  it's not too late. If you woke up this morning and
• 21:14
  God's not done with you, you can make it right today.
• 21:18
  No matter how sinful you have been, no matter how many
• 21:22
  blasphemies you have spoken, make it right today, for today
• 21:26
  is the day of salvation. His mercies are new every day,
• 21:30
  and if you wake up tomorrow, recommit and resurrender your
• 21:35
  life unto Him as many days as you have left.
• 21:39
  Every single morning, every single afternoon, and every
• 21:43
  single evening, get right with God. 29 Of how much sore
• 21:52
  punishment suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has
• 21:57
  trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood
• 22:01
  of the covenant, wherewith He was sanctified, a holy, an
• 22:05
  unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of
• 22:09
  grace. There's no more salvation apart
• 22:15
  from the work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
• 22:19
  We need not wait on another. He is the Messiah.
• 22:23
  And how ridiculous is it for us to see all of creation
• 22:29
  proclaiming His name and that all of creation had to have
• 22:34
  intelligent design and a Creator, friends, and for us to
• 22:41
  to have the access to all of the information that we have and for
• 22:46
  us not to get rooted and grounded and steeped in God's
• 22:50
  Word. What a tragedy it is, friends.
• 22:53
  And they have been blinded by the devil, and the seeds have
• 22:57
  been plucked up by the birds, and the tares and the cares and
• 23:00
  the snares and the briars and the thorns, and the thistles are
• 23:04
  choking out the fruit, Friends. And it is shallow soil that is
• 23:09
  causing them to fall away. We've got to dig in and break up
• 23:14
  the fallowed ground. We must fall on fertile soil and
• 23:18
  allow the rain to come and the sun to shine in our lives and be
• 23:23
  sanctified. Friends. 30 For we know him that
• 23:30
  has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, and I will repay, says the
• 23:35
  Lord. And again the Lord shall judge
• 23:37
  his people. No one will ever stand before
• 23:41
  God Almighty and say, I did not know.
• 23:46
  Man is without excuse. All of creation proclaims his
• 23:55
  name, and if we will not give him his praise, the rocks will
• 23:59
  cry out. 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of
• 24:04
  the living God. If God is for you, who can be
• 24:09
  against you? But the reverse is also true.
• 24:15
  If God is against you, who can be for you?
• 24:20
  You need to understand that. 32 But call to remembrance the
• 24:28
  former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a
• 24:32
  great fight of affliction. One of the worst sins that we
• 24:38
  could ever commit is the sin of forgetfulness.
• 24:43
  When God does such an amazing work in our life and we trample
• 24:48
  upon it as if it's a given, as if it's an expectation, we need
• 24:54
  to call back to remembrance the goodness of God even when we're
• 24:58
  in the fight of affliction. 33 Partly while you were made a
• 25:04
  gazing stock, both by reproaches and afflictions, and partly
• 25:10
  while you became companions of them that were so used, You can
• 25:15
  see the 1st century church and all the persecution that they
• 25:19
  had to endure, and how much persecution God's men and women
• 25:25
  have had to suffer over the years.
• 25:27
  This gazing stock, friends, and we have lived in a bubble for
• 25:32
  most of our lives, but the times are changing. 34 For you had
• 25:39
  compassion of me and my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling
• 25:45
  of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in
• 25:49
  heaven a better and enduring substance.
• 25:52
  We're going to talk about the rewards.
• 25:54
  And the writer of Hebrews, perhaps Paul the apostle is
• 25:58
  saying that you did write by me, friends, because you knew that
• 26:04
  there was a better substance in heaven. 35 Cast not away.
• 26:08
  Therefore, your confidence, which has great repayment of
• 26:13
  reward. That is what you need to
• 26:15
  understand. It is by the blood of Jesus
• 26:17
  Christ is the only way that we're going to get into heaven.
• 26:20
  But everything we do from the moment that we put our place,
• 26:24
  our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, from that moment
• 26:28
  forward, everything that you do is contingent upon rewards. 36
• 26:35
  For you have need of patience that after you have done the
• 26:40
  will of God, you might receive the promise.
• 26:45
  So we know that all of these afflictions and persecutions
• 26:50
  will actually produce this perseverance, friends, which
• 26:55
  produces the character that God is after this process of
• 26:59
  sanctification. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall
• 27:08
  come will come and will not tarry.
• 27:11
  God knows the full time. He knows the full amount of
• 27:15
  people that are going to be there, and He's waiting for the
• 27:18
  last one to come in. And we do not know the day or
• 27:23
  the hour. Only the Father knows. 38 Now
• 27:28
  the just shall live by faith. But if any man draw back, my
• 27:33
  soul shall have no pleasure in him.
• 27:37
  So you need to know that we live by faith, friends, and not by
• 27:40
  sight. But if any of us are close to
• 27:44
  the door, and then we turn and tuck tail because we have seen
• 27:48
  persecution on the rise, they have lost the battle, they have
• 27:54
  lost their position, and Christ is the only way to the Father.
• 28:02
  And if they're running towards self preservation, they're
• 28:06
  running towards the things of this world.
• 28:10
  It will always leave them empty. We'll end on 39 But we are not
• 28:17
  of them who draw back unto perdition, but of them that
• 28:24
  believe to the saving of the soul.
• 28:28
  We are not the sons of perdition, we are the sons of
• 28:33
  Jesus Christ. We cry out ABBA, we have
• 28:36
  received our adoption. We're not bound for hell.
• 28:41
  We are bound for the Celestial City, New Jerusalem, City of God
• 28:46
  forever and ever in His presence.
• 28:49
  And we are a royal priesthood of Saints, friends, and we will
• 28:53
  rule and reign with Him for 1000 years.
• 28:56
  What an amazing thought. Don't pretend to understand it.
• 29:00
  I just read the word of God and apply it and believe it and that
• 29:04
  settles it. Hope you've been blessed by this
• 29:07
  amazing chapter in God's word. I know I sure have.
• 29:12
  I'm praying for every single one of you.
• 29:14
  I love you. We'll see you back here to
• 29:17
  Morrow. God bless you.
