  Colossians chapter 4. Let us pray our Father who is in
• 0:08
  heaven, holy, is your name. God, let us keep your name.
• 0:16
  Holy Father, I pray God that it'll be your name that is above
• 0:22
  all names. It is the name that is highly
• 0:24
  exalted God the Most High God, the banner over us.
• 0:29
  Lord, we're praying for your Kingdom, God to come right here
• 0:33
  to this earth. Father, we're praying God that
• 0:36
  you'll build your Kingdom God, and that we will step into that.
• 0:42
  Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus that you'll equip us for
• 0:47
  the Kingdom. God, I pray that you'll build us
• 0:50
  up. God, I pray that we will push
• 0:54
  and persevere and endure all the way until the Kingdom fully
• 0:58
  comes. God, we have tasted and we have
• 1:00
  seen in part in darkly and dimly.
• 1:03
  But God, one day we yearn and we desire to see it in its
• 1:07
  fullness. God, I pray for your will to be
• 1:11
  done. Not our will, not our ways, not
• 1:14
  our preferences, God, but your will, your revealed will that
• 1:19
  you've given us, God in the 66 book Canon, God, from Genesis to
• 1:24
  Revelation. Father, I pray for your will to
• 1:27
  be done on this earth. God, hide us, Hide our purposes
• 1:33
  and plans, hide all of our wants and desires.
• 1:37
  God, and help us to step in to the will that you have for today
• 1:41
  for us. Give us Our Daily Bread today.
• 1:44
  Give us the man of God. Give us the water from the rock.
• 1:47
  Let us eat sumptuously upon your flesh and drink your blood.
• 1:52
  God, I pray that we'll remember what you've done for us on the
• 1:55
  cross, Lord Jesus. Lord, forgive us, God, forgive
• 2:04
  us for all the times that we made it about sin and self.
• 2:08
  Forgive us for all the times that we've taken our eyes off of
• 2:11
  you. Forgive us for all the times
• 2:14
  that we were angry, God and deceitful.
• 2:17
  Lord and Father, I pray that you'll forgive us for all of the
• 2:21
  things that we have done. Lord, every single sin, Lord,
• 2:25
  cover them in the blood of Christ.
• 2:27
  Help us to extend forgiveness out to those who have wronged
• 2:31
  us, God, and trespassed against us, God, for those who have
• 2:35
  sinned against us, God, help us to extend forgiveness to them.
• 2:39
  Father, not holding on to a root of bitterness, God, not holding
• 2:44
  on to anything that is keeping us from you.
• 2:49
  Lord, we forgive because we are forgiven.
• 2:55
  God, I pray that the enemy will be bound today in the mighty
• 2:59
  name of Jesus Christ. God, bind every unclean and foul
• 3:04
  spirit. God, in the name of Jesus
• 3:06
  Christ, cast them into chains of utter darkness and gloom.
• 3:12
  God, as they await for the judgment that you have coming
• 3:16
  for them, God, bind them from off of our families.
• 3:21
  Bind them from off of our houses.
• 3:23
  Bind them from off of our lives and minds and hearts.
• 3:27
  God, bind them from off of this nation.
• 3:30
  In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
• 3:32
  Let revival break out. Father, keep us from deception.
• 3:38
  Lord God, I pray that we will exalt your Kingdom, your power,
• 3:54
  your glory. Thank you, Father, for saving
• 4:01
  us. Thank you, Father, for your
• 4:06
  word. Thank you, God, for our
• 4:10
  inheritance. And it's in Jesus Christ, holy
• 4:15
  and precious and powerful, majestic and awesome name that I
• 4:23
  pray. Amen.
• 4:28
  Well, let's start in verse one. Masters, give unto your servants
• 4:37
  that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a
• 4:42
  master in heaven. There's no one that is above you
• 4:46
  that is above God. There's no entity, no
• 4:51
  principality, there is no official that is above God.
• 4:58
  And if we choose to serve, and if we choose to be subservient,
• 5:08
  and if we choose to go under someone, it is a choice,
• 5:15
  friends, because we serve the King of Kings and the Lord of
• 5:19
  Lords, and he is our highest order and our highest commander
• 5:28
  and our highest boss and king. And there is no one greater than
• 5:35
  God Almighty. He is the Most high God and here
• 5:39
  this is a great reminder to all those who are over people that
• 5:46
  you cannot use that as leverage to do evil.
• 5:54
  God is watching and God will in due time reward those things
• 5:59
  that are done in secret. And He will also bring out the
• 6:02
  things that we don't want anyone to know about, and He'll bring
• 6:07
  those into the light because He's good at it. 10 times out of
• 6:11
  10, you will be found out for all the things that you're
• 6:14
  trying to do in secret, whether it's embezzling, whether it is
• 6:20
  stealing, whether it is manipulating, whether it is
• 6:24
  sexual perversion, it will all be found out in due time and
• 6:30
  God's perfect timing. Everything will be brought to
• 6:33
  light. But when you do the right thing
• 6:35
  and no one is watching and you have integrity, that will be
• 6:39
  found out as well and we will be rewarded openly. 2 Continue in
• 6:48
  prayer, and watch in the same with Thanksgiving.
• 6:54
  So pray the paint off the walls, and when God answers your
• 6:59
  prayers, make sure you give him his due honor, and his due
• 7:03
  praise, and his Thanksgiving. Give God all the glory, and
• 7:09
  enter into his gates with praise and Thanksgiving.
• 7:12
  Three, with all praying also for us, that God would open unto us
• 7:18
  a door of utterance to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I
• 7:23
  am also in bonds. Paul is saying I am in chains
• 7:27
  and I am being restrained and pray to God that He will release
• 7:33
  me so that I can find other churches and found other
• 7:37
  churches and that I can go out and speak the truth of God to
• 7:42
  any person who will listen and that is what Our Calling is as
• 7:48
  well. Be led by the Spirit friends.
• 7:52
  He will lead you into most wonderful conversations that
• 7:58
  have eternal ramifications that get people to choose Him over
• 8:05
  this world, those that are teeter tottering between life
• 8:09
  and death. We have the power of life in the
• 8:13
  tongue, friends, and that is what we utter to people.
• 8:17
  We utter to them, and it opens doors that no man can shut, and
• 8:22
  it shuts the doors that no man can open.
• 8:26
  For that I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.
• 8:31
  The hidden things, friends, they're already there, but we
• 8:35
  just need to bring them out. We need to make them known,
• 8:42
  friends. God has written eternity into
• 8:46
  the tapestry of all the fabric of this life, and all we need to
• 8:51
  do is unlock and reveal to people what is already there.
• 8:56
  All of creation is proclaiming His name.
• 8:59
  Friends five walk in wisdom toward them that are without
• 9:05
  redeeming the time. We know that this is the time
• 9:10
  that we need to be out in the harvest.
• 9:13
  We know that the harvest is plenty, but the workers are few.
• 9:17
  We know that the time is evil. We know that the days are short.
• 9:21
  We know that it's all culminating and coming to a
• 9:23
  close. And we need to be out doing the
• 9:26
  work of God Almighty and telling every single person that we meet
• 9:31
  all about what He has done for us, sharing our testimony with
• 9:35
  everybody who will listen, friends, and overcoming by the
• 9:39
  blood of the Lamb in the words of our testimony.
• 9:44
  We need to walk in this wisdom and walk in the spirit.
• 9:47
  And there are many people who are dying and going by the
• 9:50
  wayside and they're choosing death and they're choosing hell.
• 9:54
  And we are the difference makers.
• 9:56
  We are the chain Breakers. We are the answer.
• 10:00
  We are plan A. We have the keys to eternal
• 10:03
  life, friends. Far be it from us to hold back
• 10:07
  from those that are without six. Let your speech be always with
• 10:12
  grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to
• 10:17
  answer every man. That is wisdom that is being
• 10:22
  renewed by God's words, letting the words wash over you,
• 10:27
  friends. And then when someone asks you a
• 10:29
  hard question and your spirit LED, you say the right thing at
• 10:33
  the right time and it hits the right note and that person falls
• 10:38
  to their knees and they give their life over to the Lord
• 10:41
  Jesus Christ. And it's nothing that we have
• 10:43
  done, but it's because God has culminated that moment and that
• 10:47
  all we were, we were a conduit. All we were, we were the
• 10:51
  between, all we were was the middleman between what Christ
• 10:55
  did on the cross and what God was already preparing in their
• 10:58
  heart, and we just spoke the right word at the right time,
• 11:02
  and it brought about their salvation. 7 All my state shall
• 11:11
  Ticus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother in a faithful
• 11:16
  minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord.
• 11:19
  So Paul's going to send this Ticus to tell the Colossians
• 11:24
  what Paul is like and what his state is like, and what does he
• 11:29
  do, and what does he say? And all the answers, all the
• 11:34
  questions that they might have, Ticus could help to answer.
• 11:38
  Friends 8 whom I have sent to you for the same purpose, that
• 11:42
  he might know your estate and comfort your hearts.
• 11:46
  So this was double fold. Paul wanted to see what the
• 11:49
  Colossians life was like and he wanted to comfort the Colossians
• 11:53
  by letting them know what his life was like and for the
• 11:58
  comforting of their hearts. 9 With Onissimus, a faithful and
• 12:04
  beloved brother, who is one of you, they shall make known unto
• 12:10
  you all things which are done here.
• 12:13
  So Paul is chained up in Rome, and he's sending Onissimus
• 12:19
  Antiochus to the Colossian church to let them know what his
• 12:25
  life is like and to give Paul a report of what the Colossian
• 12:31
  church was like. 10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, salutes you
• 12:41
  and Marcus's sister's son to Barnabas, touching whom you
• 12:46
  received commandments. If he come unto you, receive
• 12:50
  him. So Paul is giving his personal
• 12:55
  letter of recommendation for all of these men who have labored
• 13:00
  with him and he's saying to them receive them.
• 13:04
  They are an extension of me. 11 and Jesus, which is called just
• 13:12
  us who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellow workers
• 13:19
  into the Kingdom of God, which have been a comfort to me.
• 13:23
  So perhaps this Jesus was not comfortable with calling himself
• 13:28
  that because of our Lord, so he calls himself just us instead.
• 13:32
  And Paul's saying that they are the ones who are working
• 13:37
  alongside of him, and he's sending them to Colossae to
• 13:41
  gather information and intelligence on what that church
• 13:45
  is like and to also bring to the church there at Colossae his
• 13:52
  greetings and his fondness for them. 12A Pafras, who is one of
• 13:59
  you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always laboring
• 14:05
  fervently for you in prayers that you may stand perfect and
• 14:10
  complete in all the will of God. This fervent prayer accomplishes
• 14:17
  much in the spiritual realm and that is what you need to
• 14:21
  understand is that if we even could gather 1 facet of what
• 14:29
  prayer is doing in the spiritual realm, we would spend our lives
• 14:34
  in prayer. Eyes wide open, eyes shut, on
• 14:38
  our knees, standing, driving or sitting, sleeping or awake.
• 14:45
  We pray without ceasing friends. We pray always and that is the
• 14:53
  call of a St. Never stop praying.
• 14:57
  Pray in season and out of season.
• 15:00
  Pray about everything, friends, even the things that you don't
• 15:05
  think God even cares about. Pray about everything, friends.
• 15:10
  Spend your entire life from this moment until you take your last
• 15:15
  breath in prayer. Friends, pray earnestly so that
• 15:24
  we can stand perfect and complete in the will of God.
• 15:27
  In the presence of God Almighty. We will stand perfect and
• 15:32
  complete because of what Jesus Christ did for US. 13 For I bear
• 15:38
  him record that he has a great zeal for you, and them that are
• 15:42
  in Laodicea, and them in Haropolis. 14 Luke the beloved
• 15:49
  physician, and Demas greet you, 15 salute the brothers, which
• 15:55
  are in Laodicea, and Nymphis in the church which is in his
• 16:00
  house. 16 And when this epistle is read among you calls, that it
• 16:05
  be read also in the Church of Laodiceans, and that you
• 16:10
  likewise read it the epistle from Laodicea.
• 16:14
  So Paul is writing all these letters and he wants them to be
• 16:18
  distributed unto the churches. And you can see that the ones
• 16:23
  that were inspired of God were preserved.
• 16:26
  And we don't need to worry about any of Paul's letters that were
• 16:30
  not preserved because they were not inspired.
• 16:34
  And it is God Almighty who is the one who preserved them, not
• 16:38
  man. Man didn't get to choose which
• 16:41
  books go into the Bible. That is a fallacy and a heresy,
• 16:45
  and that is the Satanic revolt. And that is the marker of
• 16:51
  someone who is hostile towards God when they start to call into
• 16:56
  question any of the books that are in there, or when they start
• 16:59
  to call into question any of the books that didn't make it into
• 17:03
  their friends. It is God Almighty who
• 17:06
  orchestrated and it is God Almighty who put the 66 books
• 17:11
  into the Canon of scripture. And we need not worry if there's
• 17:16
  something that we're missing or something that's there that
• 17:19
  shouldn't be, that is not for us to try and figure out.
• 17:24
  That is the Spirit of God, who is the one who orchestrated it
• 17:29
  all. And whenever you trust and
• 17:31
  whenever you completely put all of your faith on the chief
• 17:36
  cornerstone from Genesis to Revelation, the Word became
• 17:40
  flesh friends. And the Word was God.
• 17:43
  And the Word is alive and active.
• 17:45
  And whenever you will trust completely, wholeheartedly,
• 17:49
  sheepishly, and full foolishly all of the scriptures from
• 17:54
  Genesis to Revelation, you will never be put to shame.
• 17:57
  And you will start to see mighty things working in your life, and
• 18:01
  you will start to understand the mind of Christ.
• 18:04
  And you will not be in confusion, friends, but you will
• 18:07
  have a sound mind because you trust and obey the revealed will
• 18:12
  of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation 17.
• 18:18
  And say to octopus, take heed to the ministry which you have
• 18:23
  received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.
• 18:26
  When we receive a ministry, God will fuel us to fulfill it,
• 18:31
  friends. And this octopus needed that
• 18:34
  reminder. He needed to know that God was
• 18:37
  fighting his battles. 18 will end here.
• 18:40
  The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, remember my bonds.
• 18:45
  Grace be with you all men remember that Paul was in
• 18:49
  bondage and in chains for the good news, which is a stamp of
• 18:55
  God's approval. Men will not die for a lie,
• 19:00
  friends, but the blood of the martyr is the seed of the
• 19:04
  church. Praise God, Hallelujah.
• 19:07
  We love you, Father. Thank you for counting us worthy
• 19:12
  and for choosing and predestining us before the
• 19:14
  foundations of the earth. I hope you've been blessed by
• 19:19
  this amazing chapter here in God's Word.
• 19:32
  I know I sure have. I'm praying for every single one
• 19:39
  of you. I love you.
• 19:47
  So does God. God bless you.
• 19:54
  We'll see you back here tomorrow.
