  Speaker 1: The Lord is my life and my salvation. Whom shall
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though in hosts
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: should encamp against me. In this will I be confident.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: God will provide and rescue and deliver my hope, my trust,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: my confidence is in Him and in Him alone. All right, God,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: bless you once again. We welcome you to this another
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: edition of End Time Revival Ministry. She has a podcast.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I am your host, Pastor out Zachary, And today we
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: continue A man in the ministry of g Jesus, a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: man as he a man in his short if you
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: will visitation to this earth. A man spoke so eloquently
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and powerfully and unlike any other man that ever walked
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: upon the face of this earth. And this was the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: testimony of others who had heard him, and said, no
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: man ever spoke like this man. And of course it
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: is because he is the son of the Living God.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: He is God incarnate. Amen. He is the Son of God,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: come down, sent down from Heaven. Amen. And the Bible
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: tells us by the way that God, who in sundry
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: times and in divers manners spoke in time passed to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: spoken to us by his son. He didn't come to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: destroy the law nor the prophets. He came to fulfill.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And all is fulfilled in Him. In him is the fullness,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the Bible says, of the Godhead fully, and we are
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: complete in Him, Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, the Savior,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and the Redeemer of all them that believe. All right,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: today we continue in the Gospel of John chapter number sixteen.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Will be reading a few verses from that text shortly,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: but again, as always, thank you, Thank you, Thank you,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: all of you who pray for end or support the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: work of this ministry by way of your prayers, by
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: way of sharing a man this podcast with others, by
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: way of any giving that you may do. Financially, we
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: don't even announce, nor do we even a man on
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: a regular basis, a man put out information concern giving.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: But again we operate by the grace of God. Amen,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the supply that God promised to do. Amen. And we
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: believe that God will always provide and always supply all
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that is needed. Amen, Jesus, set up on this rock
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I build my church. The gates of hell shall not prevail.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: We are more than conquerors. We have the victory. God
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: always causes us a triumph because a man Jesus has
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: one for us and given to us victor. Reed, we
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: cannot lose. I am on the winning side because He
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: called me to the winning side, and by the grace
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: of God, will stand and remain a man confident and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: assured that He is able to keep me, and he
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: will keep me. Amen. The Bible says, from falling and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: present me faultless before His presence with exceeding joy. Amen. Amen,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and Amen to the word of the Living God. All right,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: today we're going to be talking about the reprover of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the world, the reprover of the world. Let's begin with
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: just a moment of prayer. We take now as we
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: look to the Lord Father again. Thank you, thank you,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you. We love you, we
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: praise you, we bless your name. You alone are worthy
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of all of the glory, all of the honor, all
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: of the praise, the dominion, the power, the majesty, excellence,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: becomes you. Holiness, righteousness, godliness, Lord surrounds your throne. You
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: are the essence and the very source of life and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: love and grace and peace and hope and all that
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: we'll ever need. So we look down to you as
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the author and the finish of our faith. Bless us,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Amen in this endeavor to speak the truth in love,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and open our eyes and ears and hearts. Lord, to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: receive this ingrafted word which is able to save us
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and keep us in such a time as this be
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: thout glorified in your people everywhere. In Jesus' name, we
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: praying give thanks for all things. Amen and Amen, the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Reprover of the World, Verse number five the John's Gospel,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: chapter number sixteen, King James's version. We read, but now
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I go my way to him that sent me, And
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: none of you asketh me whether goest thou. But because
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I have said these things unto you, sorrow have filled
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: your heart. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth. It is
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: expedient for you that I go away. For if I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: go not away, the comforter will not come unto you.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: But if I depart, I will send him onto you
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and those of you by the way who may have
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: heard our prior previous podcasts. You know that we took
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: from this text first number seven, from which I just
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: read a man, this thought of the necessity of the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: departure of Jesus out of this world. It was very
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: much necessary for him to die that death. And on
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: last Sunday, of course, we celebrated in observance of the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: resurrection of Jesus Christ also his vicarious atoning death on
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: our behalf a man, because again that was the way,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the predetermined and pre appointed way by which he would
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: depart out of this world through death, atoning for our sins,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: taking them on his body and transferring simultaneously, if you will,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: his righteousness to us. And so therein we rejoice and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: we stand amen. And it was so necessary, it was necessary.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And Jesus, of course, now in the context of what
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: we're reading, preparing his disciples for his imminent departure, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: he said, it is expedient for you, but I'm going
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to send the comforter unto you. And when he is
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: come verse number eight, which we now know to be
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: on the day of Pentecosts, fifty days after the excession
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of Jesus back up to heaven, the Holy Spirit sent
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: down from heaven. So Jesus is preparing them in advance.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: When he is come, he will reprove the world of
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: sin and of righteousness, and of judgment. Of sin, because
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: they believe not on me, of righteousness, because I go
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to my Father, and ye see me no more, of judgment,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: because the prince of this world is judge, reprover of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the world, the Holy Spirit. When he has come, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of course he is here, he will reprove the world
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. Now, looking out
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: into our world today, it would seem, certainly, of course,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to the carnal man, to the carnal minded individual, that
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the world is freely operating and indulging as it pleases
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to do, without any divine intervention or restraint, whatever they
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: want to do. But if we take to heart the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: words of Jesus concerning what the ministry of the Holy
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Spirit would be in this world, as the reprover of
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the world, he that is, the Holy Spirit, is reproving
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. In
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the physical absence of Jesus. He is censuring, if you will,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: man for his disobedience. He is condemning the thoughts and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the deeds of men. He is atmonishing men everywhere to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: repent and reprimanding the hearts of man for their unbelief
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: in Jesus. And by the way, this is all or
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: these are all other things that Jesus did while he
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: was here bodily. And Jesus said that the world is
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: being reproved of sin because they do not believe on me.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Of course, we know, as Jesus has already said, and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: we spoke about this earlier in previous podcast, the world
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: hates Jesus. Jesus said these words because I testify of
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it that its deeds are evil. And so the Holy Spirit,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: who is the reprover of this world, a man brings
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the world under conviction, a man reproving them of sin
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: because they do not believe on Jesus. Remember it was
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus who made it clear that man is not condemned
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: because he is a sinner transgressing the law of God,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: but rather the condemnation is because that light has come
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: into the world, and men prefer the darkness. They prefer
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: to remain in the darkness. They don't want to come
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to the light. They will not come to the light
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: because Jesus said, their deeds are evil. And of course
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: that light we know is Jesus himself. He is, as
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: he said, the light of the world. The work of
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit as the reprover of the world. Certainly
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: we do not want to and should not take it
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: or view it only from the perspective of rebuking and
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: or scorning men for their rebellion and waywardness. On the contrary,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, as the reprover of the world, works
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to bring conviction within the inner man, to change their
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: ambivalence or their hostility that may be in the heart,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: oh not, maybe that is in the heart of a
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: man that he has toward the Lord Jesus Christ. The
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is the reprover of the world, and he
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: actively testifies of Jesus. And those who have the faithful
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: witness of Jesus testifying through them will never speak contrarily
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to the reproving work of the Holy Spirit. You have
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: people by the way, and by the way, this is
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: something that Jesus said, This is not me okay, blasphemy
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. And then
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that's why you have to be very careful. We all
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: and people need to be very careful about the ministry
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Calling the work of the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Spirit of the Living God the work of devils demons,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: behels above satanic Amen. Blaspheming against the Holy Spirit will not,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Jesus says, be forgiven. Amen. And so the Holy Spirit
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: testifies through us, and he will never speak contrarily. Amen
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to Amen. The work that Jesus did, his satisfying atoning
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: work on cavalry a man in his death, and certainly
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the fact that he was buried in the grave in
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: that tomb borrowed tone by the way, and the fact
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that he rolls from the dead. Those who speak contrary
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: to this, which is the essence of the Gospel, do
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: not have the Holy Spirit in them. Again, because the
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit will not speak or act in contradiction to Jesus,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to the Word of God, to the Spirit of Prophecy. Amen.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And so I am persuaded that the righteousness of Jesus,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: by the way, all that he did, and in him
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and by him and through him, is all righteousness. By
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the way, That's why he came to fulfill all righteousness.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: But I am persuaded that the righteousness of Jesus is
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: so powerful and convincing that even after, of course, Jesus
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: descended back up into heaven, the testifying of his magnanimous
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: love and graciousness steal to this day, ladies and gentlemen,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: compels men to turn from their wicked ways to repentance
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and faith in that which Jesus accomplished on their behalf.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I know that's a mouthful, but in essence, the righteous behavior,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the righteousness, the thoughtlessness, the blamelessness of Jesus, the perfection
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of him. It's overwhelming, overwhelming love and goodness again, so
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: magnanimous that to this very moment is compelling men to
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: turn from their wicked ways to repentance and faith and
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: believing and hoping with an assurance in the again vicarious
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: atoning death of Jesus Christ on their behalf. And the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: proof is in the power of the gospel that we preach,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: which is, by the way, efficaciously still working again two
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: thousand years after Jesus ascended back up on that cloud
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: that received him out of the sight of the disciples
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: who were standing there watching as he went back up
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: to glory. Now we could surmise that this should be
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: possible by the overwhelming again magnificence of the ministry of
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Jesus alone. I mean, you would think that all that
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Jesus did, all that's recorded concerning him, that in itself
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: should be sufficient to persuade men. But we know that
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Jesus did not leave the work of persuasion and conversion
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: to the feebleness of fickual men. Oh no, no, amen,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: even his disciples, his apostles, brother who had been with
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: him for three and a half years, he did not
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: leave it in their hands alone. But what did he do?
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: He commanded them, do not depart from Jerusalem until you
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: are endued with power from on high. Now what was
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: he referring to the promised comforter, the Holy Spirit, the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: reprover of this world, who would come to be in them,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: work in them, speak through them, lead them, and guide
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: them into all truth. Everything that Jesus had already in
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: preparation of his departure spoken of concerning the Holy Spirit
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: would be fulfilled in them and in us. Because we felckle,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: feeble men, fallible, fallen, cannot in and of ourselves carry
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: forth this work of ministry, the sustaining of the testimony
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: of Jesus is alive and is thriving by and because
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of the omni presence of the reprover of the world,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: who is at work on behalf of the Godhead. Amen,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: thank you Jesus, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: the reprover of the world. He convicts the world of righteousness.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: It is the world's religion and man's self righteousness that,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: of course, the Bible is clear about Old Testament, and
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: New Testament is unacceptable to God. The Old Testament tells
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: us all of our righteousness is as filthy rags in
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: his sight. The Bible tells us there is none righteous,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: no not one, for all have sin and falling short
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of the glory of God, to offend, to break God's law,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and one offense, James said, makes us guilty of all
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: by the deeds of the law. No one can be
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: justified in his sight. And so the reprover of the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: world convicts the world of the world's religions and rituals
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: and righteousness. The really this is, I mean, what we
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: have in our world, ritualistic religious beliefs, idolatrous pagan practices.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: All of them, ladies and gentlemen, Church of the Living God,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: are to be abandoned to be abolished. They are and
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: have been abolished. How and why by what means, you
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: may ask, Well, it was in the offering of Jesus Christ,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: of himself as the one and the only, perfect, effectual,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and acceptable sacrifice on behalf of all who believe in
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: his name. Those who do not believe will be drawn
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: to will ultimately engage in some form of religion, some
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: form of pagan idolatry. And this is the testimony of
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: not someone who was in the church who observed that
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: man is incurably religious. You will bow, you will serve,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: you will worship something or someone if you reject Jesus.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: But ultimately, at the end of course, I'm ooh, I
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: love it. Every need is going to bow, and every
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: tongue it's going to confess that he is Lord. But
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: in the meantime, the reprover of the world, and I'm
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: persuaded of this, based on again biblical teachings, the reprover
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: of this world will not permit evil. Look around in
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: your world, you see all this is happening in our worlddings.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Some people think the world is done, it's finished, it's gone,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: it's over. We don't know that but I believe this,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: and I stand on this. The reprover of the world,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: as long as he is here, I'm talking about the
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. I don't have time to go into the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: time Paul speaks of when he will be removed. He
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: and I believe that that time also is when the
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Church will be raptured up. But while he is here,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the reprover of the world will not permit evil and
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: sin to triumph over the saving grace of God. Why
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: do I say that, because the Bible tells us where
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: sin abounds, grace much more abounds. Grace reiins because sin
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: has been defeated, sin has been judged. Grace reigns because
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Jesus now rains, and grace in truth came him. So
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the reprover of the world restrains. The forces of the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: darkness in the bodily absence of Jesus. Demons trembled, of course,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: in the presence of Jesus. While he was here, bodily
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: knowing who he is, they knew him. They said, are
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: you come? Have you come to torment us before the time.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: They know their future, they know their destiny, They know
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the one who booted them. If you will kicked them
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: out of heaven. But now in the absence of Jesus
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: being here bodily physically, if you will, it is now
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the presence of the reprover of the world, the Holy Spirit,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: rebuking and holding back the desire of the demonic. Now,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: make no mistake about it. Again, I don't have the time,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: or I won't take the time, if you will. Paul
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: speaks of the restraining force of the Holy Spirit and
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: what will happen once he is taken out of this world.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Unbridal lawlessness will break out when the Holy Spirit is
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: no longer here. And again I am of the belief.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I'm the strong belief. And again this is based on
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the Word of God, that that cannot and will not
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: happen while the Church is still here. The reprover of
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the world works deep within the consciousness of the inner
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: man by and through the word of God. Of course,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I believe he again never contradicts Jesus, He never contradicts
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the Word of God. And so I believe he works
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: through the Word of God, through what God is spoken.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Because the Bible tells us the word of God is
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: quick and powerful. It is sharper than any two edged sword.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: It is a discerner of the thoughts and the intent
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: of the heart. It cuts, you know, you see, when
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the Word speaks, and when God speaks, when the Holy
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Spirit speaks, it does something to the heart of man
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: one way or the other. You remember, let me give
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: you a couple of quick examples. You remember the testimony
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: of Stephen, Acts chapter number seven. After he finished, and
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: he rebuked them for their heartness of heart. The Bible says,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: as he spoke, they were cut to the heart. Peter
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: on the day of Pentecost, after he preached Jesus, they
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: were cut to the heart. Jesus, stooping down and writing
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: on the ground, spoke the words and said, you that
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: are without sin, cast the first stone at this woman,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: who was so called caught in the act of adultery.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Cast the first stone. The Bible says, they were convicted
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: by their own conscience. That is the work of the
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: reprover of this world. Who convicts, who convinces, who persuades
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: by the word through the word of the Living God. Amen,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: the world of judgment, because the world under the sway
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: and the influence of the wicked one is blinded to
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the truth. Especially, I will say, and particularly to the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: truth about Jesus as the Savior, as the Redeemer, as Lord,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and I do mean capital L, capital old, capital R
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: or capital D, King of King's, Lord of Lords, God incarnate.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I am in the Father of the Father and me.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: You've seen me, You've seen the Father. I am my Father. One.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself. I
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: mean on and on it goes. The greatest the mystery
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: of godland is God was manifested in the flesh. They know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: demons tremble, and the reprover of the world reproves and
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: convicts the world of judgment because of that wicked one
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: who is behind by the way, all of the deception,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the delusion, the blindness to the truth of who Jesus is,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: and that he has come to save and to liberate,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: and to open eyes to set captives free. But because
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: of this blindness, because of this preference for the darkness,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: those who are in the world are being, as the
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Bible says, tossed to and fro. They are being carried
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: about with every imaginable doctrine of religions. Because what we
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: have is the blind leading the blind in willful ignorance,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: as they grope in the dark. See, ladies and gentlemen.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: After Jesus surrendered willingly, by the way of course, surrendered
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: his will. He said, not my will, but thine be done.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: He surrendered over to the predetermined, predestined plan of the Godhead.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: He took on our sins in his body on the
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: tree at Calvary, the cross of Golgotha. He shed his
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: blood for our forgiveness, for our covering. Without the shedding
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: of the blood, the Bible says, there is no remission
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: of sin. And of course the blood of bulls and goats,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: no animal could atone for it could cover our sins,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: could wash away our guilt. But in his vicarious sacrifice,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: the shedding of that precious, pure, undefiled blood of the
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: sin was defeated, Righteousness was transferred to every believer, and
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the prince of this world was judged. Now is the judgment,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Jesus said of this world. Now the prince of this
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: world is cast out. And if I be lifted up
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: widraw all men unto me. Now, ladies and gentlemen, in
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: the absence, if you will again of the physical bodily
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: presence of Jesus in this world. The reprover of the world,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, the Holy ghosts, the comforter, has been
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: sent into the world by Jesus, and he represents and
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: he testifies of Jesus, that Jesus is indeed the risen
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: and triumphant King, who is the one and only way,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: who has the one and only name by which all
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: men must be saved. The reprover of the world is
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: yet working now. He is seeking, he is calling, he
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: is knocking, and he is testifying of Jesus Christ as
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Lord of all, to all who will hear his voice,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and of course as Jesus in this last revelation of
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: word to man, he says, behold, I stand at the
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: door and knock. If any man will open, I'll come
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: in him that is a thirst. Come. He will give
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: you of the water of life freely. Father again, today
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: we love you, we thank you, we bless your name,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: and we pray, and we fervently intercede on behalf of
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: those who are being tossed to and fro blinded by religion. Idolatry,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: paganism lies deception of that wicked one who has come
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: to steal, killed, and to destroy. Lord, open eyes, unstop ears,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: and change hearts as only you can do, by the
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: power of the repover of the world, your Holy Spirit,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: whom you have sent into this world to work or
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: work in our day. So we stand on your word
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: and your promises, and we believe that you able and
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: you will do, exceeding in abundantly above all that we
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: can ask or think. In Jesus' mighty name, we praying
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: your thanks, Amen and Amen.
