  You shall not murder one simple verse tonight.

  Let's pray together, father, you deserve reverence through your
• 0:22
  word even if it's one word and we stand in reverence of your
• 0:25
  worth tonight and Lord help us realize that these are not just
• 0:29
  commands given for argued. But these are the reflections of
• 0:32
  your character. They speak of who you are.
• 0:36
  And what we just pray that as we sit under your word, maybe be
• 0:40
  attentive as we just sang about. Midway, may we worship you with
• 0:44
  our minds and our hearts and our whole, being able to give you
• 0:46
  our attention. And as an act of worship the
• 0:49
  Lord, we pray also that we would live it and we would live these
• 0:52
  things that we hear of, that is what true worship is Father.
• 0:56
  You know, who here loves you and knows, you and has put their
• 0:59
  faith and trust in Jesus, you know, those that need to when we
• 1:04
  pray that for the save and the other state who could all leave
• 1:06
  your transformed father, we trust in you because your
• 1:10
  promises are true. And you're not a man that should
• 1:11
  lie. And so what we come in
• 1:13
  dependency as we pray, we say, we need you tonight more duties.
• 1:17
  Z Nation needs you going, you don't have a plan B, you know,
• 1:21
  planning, that's your church. And so we just pray that your
• 1:24
  church in this place would be edified equipped whatever need
• 1:28
  that we have or that it would be met so that we can serve you
• 1:30
  through greater degree. Lord, I'm weak.

• 1:57
  We pray the precious name of Jesus Christ.
• 2:00
  Amen. You may be seated in the
• 2:01
  presence of the Lord. Commandment number 6.
• 2:07
  We've dedicated a week for each commandment.
• 2:11
  And here we are. You shall not murder seems
• 2:14
  straightforward. We can probably touch on that
• 2:17
  her 15 minutes and walk out of your butt.
• 2:20
  Remember these commands are not just instructions for our
• 2:24
  well-being or how we should navigate through life.
• 2:26
  They speak concerning who God is his nature, his character, his
• 2:31
  attributes. And if we want our minds to be
• 2:35
  renewed, we must understand God's.
• 2:38
  If we want our thoughts to be transformed, if we want our
• 2:41
  worldview to be aligned with God's, we have to understand who
• 2:45
  he is. We have to understand how he
• 2:47
  thinks. We have to understand how he
• 2:49
  sees the world. We have to understand how he
• 2:52
  values human life. And so tonight, as we explore
• 2:58
  this commandment may, we understand who God Is, You shall
• 3:02
  not murder. I'm just going to open up her
• 3:05
  question right now. What does that even mean when
• 3:08
  you hear murder What does that command and fly?
• 3:22
  Physical act of taking someone's life.
• 3:24
  Sure. Unjustified killing.
• 3:29
  That's important. Well thank God that the Bible
• 3:35
  interprets, the Bible and all it takes is a little effort to see
• 3:39
  that the point. Two different references in
• 3:41
  order to have Greater Life, turn your Bibles to numbers 35 number
• 3:45
  35, I'm going to give you a heads up.
• 3:47
  This Bible studies going to be scripture heavy because of
• 3:50
  Point, Bible studies less preaching and more.
• 3:52
  Hey, look at these verses. Is see what these scriptures
• 3:55
  have to say for themselves. And that you would be equipped
• 3:59
  with the truths through these scriptures numbers. 35,
• 4:03
  beginning of verse 16, This is the law.
• 4:11
  Concerning the Cities of Refuge that would be established in the
• 4:13
  nation of Israel concerning actually those that would commit
• 4:16
  murder and how they work to respond to that.
• 4:19
  And this is just a portion but it helps us understand what God
• 4:22
  has in mind when he means murdered.
• 4:25
  Verse 16. But he struck him down with an
• 4:29
  iron object so that he died. He is a murderer, the murderer
• 4:33
  shall be put to death, and if you struck him down with a stone
• 4:36
  tool, that could cause death and he died, he is a murderer, the
• 4:40
  murderer shall be put to death or if he struck him down with a
• 4:43
  wooden tool that could cause that any die.
• 4:47
  He is a murderer. The murderer shall be put to
• 4:50
  death. Now, scroll down to verse 20 and
• 4:52
  if he pushed them out of hatred or hurled something at him lying
• 4:56
  in, Away. So that he died or an entity
• 4:59
  struck him down with his hand so that he died and he was struck,
• 5:03
  the blow shall be put to death. He is a murder the Avenger of
• 5:07
  blood shall be shall put the murder to death when he meets
• 5:10
  him. Okay.
• 5:11
  So based on those verses We understand that murder in.
• 5:17
  God's mind is a premeditated intentional act of violence
• 5:22
  intended to Take someone's life, take some 1 by mu.
• 5:29
  This is an important part in an unauthorized manner,
• 5:33
  unauthorized manner. Now, murder is not subject only
• 5:37
  to a meet immediate act of violence.
• 5:40
  It can manifest through what carelessness negligence.
• 5:45
  Murder can manifest in someone hiring.
• 5:48
  Somebody else to do the ACT, you think of somebody the Bible who
• 5:51
  did that, David did not kill your eye with a sort of killing
• 5:57
  with a pen. This one reference letter, put
• 6:02
  him in the front lines. That's murder when Nathan came,
• 6:06
  he accused them of murder. now I say in an unauthorized manner,
• 6:11
  why Because there is chilling in the scriptures.
• 6:16
  That is Justified. Can you think of ways that
• 6:19
  killing especially Old Testament, even in the New
• 6:21
  Testament is Justified? Turn to a couple of chapters of
• 6:30
  Exodus, 22 verse 2. Miss U's and hearts first, one
• 6:37
  or sheep, and kills it ourselves, it he shall prepare
• 6:40
  50 auction for, not stand for sheep, four sheep.
• 6:42
  If the thief is found breaking in and struck so that he dies,
• 6:46
  there shall be no blood feel for him, but at the sun has risen on
• 6:49
  him. There shall be blood good for
• 6:51
  him. So we see murder or killing
• 6:54
  rather is Justified in what? Self defense.
• 7:00
  How is it Justified? In just Wars first Samuel, 15
• 7:09
  Jesus, all destroy the amalekites, destroy the
• 7:14
  completely man woman. Child animals, all of it
• 7:19
  destroy. That was not in a bad mood that
• 7:22
  day. Was God's just feeling like, you
• 7:26
  know, I think I want to just I just want to have a genocide day
• 7:28
  today. We're going to learn something
• 7:31
  about God and home considering how he does these things.
• 7:35
  What other ways is killing justified in the scriptures?
• 7:39
  Sorry punishment punishment. Can we say specifically capital
• 7:43
  punishment? Yes, and that's all the way back
• 7:46
  from Genesis. We're going to talk about that
• 7:49
  as well. And so we understand that there
• 7:52
  is a authorized way of taking somebody's life.
• 7:54
  But what God has in mind with this command, is that there is
• 7:57
  an unauthorized way. That there is an unjust way that
• 7:59
  there's an Unholy way of doing it, and this is what he's
• 8:02
  speaking of. Why does God hate murder?
• 8:07
  I'm needing him not to do it. Why does God hate it?
• 8:16
  What comes to mind when you think of the Lord concerning his
• 8:18
  attributes that he would say Do not.
• 8:20
  Commit murder doesn't say here but it does say else word.
• 8:26
  This is a beautiful reason. Why God it's murder.
• 8:28
  Go back to Genesis. Go back to chapter 9 verse 6
• 8:33
  After the flood scene. God hates murder.
• 8:41
  God, hates the act of one man, taking the life of another.
• 8:45
  Why? When somebody goes to her six
• 8:47
  and you just read it really loud for us to hear Genesis 9:6.
• 8:52
  Whoever sheds man's blood by man in the image of God.
• 8:58
  So, there's that capital punishment verse right there.
• 9:01
  That is a man sheds. The blood of another man, then
• 9:04
  his blood shall be shed. This is is a new law that God
• 9:07
  instituted After the flood which says something about what the
• 9:10
  pre-flood these are like. When he saw the wickedness and
• 9:14
  he was grieved, that he made, man, this law concerning the
• 9:19
  violence, this large shed by the fact that there must have been
• 9:21
  bloodshed. That reach the heavens.
• 9:27
  So God says, okay Fresh Start the flood and all those things.
• 9:30
  And the recruitment of Adam, it's like a creation of the
• 9:34
  World Part to the world started with a flood so to speak.
• 9:37
  It was covered by the waters and chaos and here it is again.
• 9:40
  The flood covers the waters again and so we're starting over
• 9:43
  again yet. Adam in the beginning.
• 9:45
  Now he has no unfortunately no I fell into the same type of sin,
• 9:48
  Adam did. He was naked and he said with a
• 9:50
  fruit, Which shows that even a flood combat cleanser, um, only
• 9:55
  the blood can only the blood of Jesus in the heart of man can
• 9:59
  cleanse him. But he says something I'm going
• 10:01
  to do something in this world again and I'm going to say this,
• 10:04
  if you shed the blood of another, it's going to cost you
• 10:06
  your life. Why what's my reason?
• 10:08
  Because man is created in God's image?
• 10:12
  That's why. And theologians are still
• 10:17
  debating today. What is that?
• 10:19
  Really mean? Man?
• 10:20
  Is created in God's image, but for the sake of discussion,
• 10:22
  let's open it up. When you think of is support,
• 10:25
  listen, the doctrine of the image of God concerning man is
• 10:29
  vitally important vitally important because if we do, not
• 10:32
  understand that we will not understand the value of
• 10:34
  humanity, and if we don't understand the value of
• 10:36
  humanity, we can make statements, like many people who
• 10:40
  today that you are no more valuable than your dog.
• 10:46
  And I remember listening to an interview with those who hold to
• 10:50
  an atheistic worldview, and they were challenged with the
• 10:53
  question. If your dog and your neighbor
• 10:56
  were drowning in a river. Who would you save?
• 10:59
  And then he said my dog. We're just all product of
• 11:05
  evolution. We're just we're just different
• 11:07
  species. So, this doctor is important.
• 11:14
  What is the image of God? What does it mean to be created
• 11:17
  in the image of God? Yes.
• 11:22
  And like the attributes that concern to be able to hold
• 11:30
  yourself. Okay.
• 11:33
  So we have moral reasoning, right?
• 11:36
  Yes brother. You got something.
• 11:37
  Your hand up. Same characteristics of God.
• 11:42
  Yes sir Russian Russian, Al rational reason.
• 11:52
  Anything else? Compassion and love and
• 11:55
  compassion. Yes.
• 12:00
  What else? So self-aware.
• 12:08
  There's an ultimate purpose that we carry.
• 12:11
  One of the things come to mind when you think of it, you've got
• 12:13
  I'm creating that image of God. What does that mean?
• 12:19
  The reflections of like, the heart of God.
• 12:21
  No, it wasn't that those aspects of, it's not the full picture,
• 12:23
  but you're getting a, you know, some.
• 12:27
  So, when I look at man, I see something of God.
• 12:29
  Yes, we see that through our attributes.
• 12:33
  We see that to our capacity of loving and showing compassion.
• 12:36
  We see that in the fact that we carry a purpose, I think one
• 12:39
  important aspect of it is that we are relational beings that
• 12:43
  God himself is relationship. He was not in need Humanity,
• 12:47
  when he created him, he was alone in heaven.
• 12:49
  He was community in perfect, love with the Trinity.
• 12:53
  And so when he created us in His image, what that did to us is we
• 12:56
  now have this innate desire for relationship.
• 12:59
  We want to deal with other people, we want to be with a
• 13:02
  mate, not only that, but we have the capacity to relate to God
• 13:06
  and to have communion with God and to enjoy God.
• 13:11
  I believe Free Will as a part of it.
• 13:14
  I believe again reason has apart, I believe the fact that
• 13:16
  we are intelligent beings. That we have a capacity to
• 13:20
  reflect yes his moral attributes.
• 13:22
  All those things essentially we can just generalize it is this
• 13:25
  that we have we are even mirrors of God.
• 13:32
  Here's the thing. When the fall happened.
• 13:34
  Did it destroy the fact that man is created in God's image?
• 13:38
  No. What did it do that?
• 13:39
  It deformed, it, it distorted it, damaged it.
• 13:44
  How do we know that? Well, Genesis 9 is after the
• 13:46
  fall and God says, he gives the same reason the reason why I
• 13:50
  don't want you to murders. His man is still no, it's
• 13:52
  deformable. There's mud on the mirror.
• 13:54
  He still created in my image. There's still something that
• 13:57
  carries. It's very, very different from
• 14:01
  any other form of creation. And so we can go to say this
• 14:05
  when we come in Christ, we begin a process of being restored to
• 14:08
  the phones of the image of God. That's the beauty.
• 14:11
  That's the beauty of the Gospel that we enter into now a process
• 14:14
  in which God were finds us and changes us and restores with the
• 14:17
  intended from the beginning. so, in light of that, when the act
• 14:23
  of murders committed against another, what does it say?
• 14:30
  I believe it is an assault to the Pinnacle expression of God's
• 14:35
  creation, which is humanity. It is a vicious statement.
• 14:42
  A vicious violation against what God intended to be precious.
• 14:51
  And if you beautifully distinct from all the rest of his
• 14:54
  creation, God, put so much value in US.
• 15:00
  He elevated us above all creation and when man, violates
• 15:03
  that if Islands were God, considers to be precious and
• 15:06
  holy and separate from everything else, There's
• 15:11
  something or that you hold or someone that, you know, that
• 15:14
  it's more precious than anything.
• 15:15
  Somebody coming in violating that there is a nerve that is
• 15:17
  struck concerning that object that you've placed so much value
• 15:21
  in and that's what happens with the Lord.
• 15:24
  But I would say this is to that murder is an assault or an
• 15:28
  attack upon God himself. Upon God himself.
• 15:32
  Not just what he Treasures on us, but for yes, why.
• 15:36
  Because we are created in His image meaning we represent God.
• 15:42
  And so whether one knows it or not, when he comes to attack or
• 15:46
  destroy a man in a sense, he's making a declaration of
• 15:54
  attempting to destroy God saying, why what do you mean?
• 16:00
  I mean that the same way a person from a different country,
• 16:05
  maybe he hates our present or hated presence in the past and
• 16:07
  they know that they can't access him, but make a statement, will
• 16:10
  take a picture of him and they'll burn it for the figure
• 16:14
  frame of him and stop mind spit on it.
• 16:18
  Knowing that they can't access. And it's a statement of I wish
• 16:21
  you would. I wish you would come to the
• 16:22
  ground. I wish you would be buried
• 16:24
  alive. That's why I see them loves
• 16:27
  murder. He loves murder.
• 16:34
  Because he knows he himself as powerful as he is, cannot touch
• 16:39
  The Fringe of His Garment. Can I you come into His
• 16:41
  presence, right? Not breathing on him killing
• 16:43
  him. They'll do the next closest
• 16:45
  thing. Destroy His image.
• 16:48
  Destroy anything that represents him.
• 16:50
  That's why you loves gang violence.
• 16:53
  That's why you loves unjust Wars.
• 16:54
  That's why he loves suicide. Or you thought murder was just
• 16:59
  attacking somebody else. No murder is taking your own
• 17:05
  life because God gave it to you as a gift.
• 17:07
  It doesn't belong to you. That's why he loves.
• 17:14
  Abortion. because he has a perfect hatred towards God, and
• 17:23
  even the image of God, Entices him to satisfy the itch, on
• 17:30
  wanting to destroy and Dethrone God.
• 17:33
  And so I want to destroy His Image wherever I can find it.
• 17:39
  So murder number one. Is totally wrong eyes about
• 17:44
  because we're creating this image.
• 17:45
  And number two, murder is wrong to the next one because it
• 17:48
  advances the agenda of Satan We know the famous verse in John
• 17:53
  8:44. Rang, what is Johnny?
• 17:55
  44, Audrey be here. You received the Pharisees Jesus
• 18:00
  are of your father, the devil. And your will is to do your
• 18:05
  father's desires. He was a murderer from the
• 18:11
  beginning. Now, this is in light of Johnny
• 18:13
  37. When you said you want to kill
• 18:16
  you, I know what you're thinking, you want to kill me,
• 18:21
  and then he calls them out and he says, you're just like your
• 18:24
  father and probably thinking on Abraham right now, the devil
• 18:29
  because you want to murder and he's been murdering for the
• 18:31
  beginning. You know, the first murder is is
• 18:33
  that Kane? It's Satan.
• 18:37
  How did he murder from the beginning?
• 18:41
  How did Satan murder? He sent it to the beginning.
• 18:47
  So we could go back to the beginning to see what he did,
• 18:52
  Adam and Eve. The day that you eat of the tree
• 18:57
  of the knowledge of Good and Evil the day you do it, you
• 19:00
  shall surely die. Here's some sound wisdom and
• 20:07
  some sound advice. I hope that will help you
• 20:09
  against your fight of saying. I don't care what this thing is
• 20:12
  whenever you're faced with the immediate pleasure or the
• 20:15
  immediate somewhat result, that would produce some kind of join
• 20:20
  your life, stop Halt and think of a consequence that might come
• 20:23
  after that. Is it safe and voice did?
• 20:28
  His voice is so loud and so deceiving the only way that you
• 20:31
  can counter-attack. His voice is by filling yourself
• 20:34
  with God's voice. So when he says it's gonna feel
• 20:38
  good, you'll know through the promises and the consequences in
• 20:42
  the warnings of scripture. Oh my feel good about that
• 20:44
  pleasure is fleeting but in his presence is the fullness of joy.
• 20:49
  No, thank you. Say that I'm going to sleep with
• 20:50
  God's presence. But unless you get your heart in
• 20:56
  your mind and mine with this word is voice with all the more
• 20:58
  get louder side note. And we come back here, Satan was
• 21:05
  a murderer from the beginning of his safe and murdered the entire
• 21:07
  human race. Though, Adam was held
• 21:12
  responsible Satan was the one that tempted him and Usher him
• 21:16
  towards that direction. So although Adam, yes sir, we do
• 21:19
  receive, the imputed and inherited, Sid from Alan in some
• 21:24
  sense. He did cursed, the serpent as
• 21:25
  well, he's a murderer. he's a murderer from the beginning
• 21:31
  saying you're like your father And this is important for us to
• 21:39
  understand. Because murder and whatever form
• 21:45
  is manifested in. If it's unjust this Unholy, that
• 21:50
  unrighteous is satanic in nature.
• 21:54
  The shooting in Chicago. This isn't about Anything other
• 21:59
  than the fact that it's satanic? It's satanic.
• 22:05
  It's demonic. He loves it.
• 22:09
  He serves it up. And I'm going to stick on a
• 22:16
  little Point here. I'm going to talk about abortion
• 22:18
  for a little bit. I remember watching a
• 22:22
  documentary of this ministry that dedicated himself to
• 22:26
  preacher friend, abortion sending the Florida region in
• 22:30
  Orlando and in doing so compassionately.
• 22:33
  And they've seen fruit from it, where people have turned their
• 22:35
  backs on that abortion. Abortion Mill and they gave
• 22:37
  birth to their beautiful babies and gave God the glory.
• 22:40
  Yes. But created those ministers for
• 22:43
  saving them. But I remember this why?
• 22:45
  I was trying to find it. I could not find it.
• 22:48
  This is a few years guy we're in Orlando.
• 22:51
  There was one specific abortion clinic that had free abortion
• 22:54
  day. So, you want to have a free
• 22:57
  abortion, you could come and apparently, in that day, there
• 22:59
  was 100 abortions and I want location alone.
• 23:03
  Now, think about this, this is what these ministers testified
• 23:06
  on that as they were there preaching.
• 23:09
  And pleading, with women to turn their backs on this Sim on this
• 23:13
  act of murder. They said by a certain time in
• 23:18
  the late afternoon, a woman. Came out of that clinic and she
• 23:23
  was not a woman that came in for abortion.
• 23:24
  She was a woman that performed abortion, she was one of the
• 23:28
  nurses. She had walked out frankly she
• 23:33
  walked out looking distraught. She had walked out saying, I'm
• 23:35
  going home. And one of these ministers
• 23:36
  stopped and said, why are you leaving what's going on at?
• 23:39
  This is what she said. Not a Believer.
• 23:41
  This is not a Believer. This is what she said herself.
• 23:44
  We reach number 87 with these babies, over these pieces,
• 23:48
  whatever you want to call. And I can tell you that in that
• 23:52
  room, I felt Satan. Staying there himself There is
• 24:00
  such an evil presence in that room that I had to ask to leave
• 24:04
  because it was so overwhelming. I fit that into theology how you
• 24:09
  will but this is not coming from somebody who is not a believer.
• 24:17
  What is God saying? His word Proverbs 16 says,
• 24:23
  there's seven things that I hate you can turn with you on going
• 24:26
  to be the first three, there are six things that the Lord hates.
• 24:32
  Six things of the Lord hates seven.
• 24:34
  That are Abomination, M 7 things that are two things that God
• 24:38
  hates whether things that he's absolutely disgusted by.
• 24:41
  There are things that are so beyond him and he said that in
• 24:44
  Jeremiah moment of surgery. Look what he says here.
• 24:48
  The first three haughty eyes, Notice the first thing is pride
• 24:52
  haughty eyes a person that elevates self and looks at
• 24:55
  others with a degree and look and I'm more Superior than you.
• 25:00
  It's in the eyes and manifests in the eyes a lying tongue.
• 25:04
  In fact, if you read through these seven you'll notice that
• 25:06
  lying or false witness comes up more than once and hands that
• 25:13
  shed innocent blood. And the same book, The Book of
• 25:18
  Proverbs chapter 31 verse eight. It tells us open your mouth for
• 25:22
  the mute. Open your mouth for the mute for
• 25:26
  the rights of all. Who are destitute.
• 25:30
  We, as Believers have a command, we have been given instruction
• 25:34
  to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves to speak
• 25:38
  for the rights of those who cannot defend their own rights.
• 25:45
  Open your mouth with a new and that's what we're going to do in
• 25:47
  the next few moments. There is a staggering verse
• 25:54
  found in Jeremiah 19:5. God's commentary on a people
• 26:00
  that were living in a consistent lifestyle of false worship that
• 26:03
  involved. Human child sacrifice.
• 26:11
  This is what he says in Jeremiah 19:5.
• 26:16
  And that built the high places of Baal to burn their sons and
• 26:21
  daughters in the fire as burnt offerings to Bill.
• 26:26
  Look what he says here, which I did not command or decree nor
• 26:31
  did it come to my mind. Like it didn't even, it didn't
• 26:37
  even occur to me. You vile tons of iron would come
• 26:46
  up with such an act. That you would take these babes,
• 26:53
  the babes that I took the time. Two beautifully form and put
• 27:01
  together in the mother's womb. Inside, Vice didn't come.
• 27:11
  It's so, you know, in Revelation, it talks about
• 27:14
  concerning one of the churches that they have tapped into the
• 27:16
  deep things of Satan. there are some things that are satanic and
• 27:20
  there are some things that the BBC coverage He says he's
• 27:28
  sneezing. I can't even register.
• 27:31
  I can't even really process what you're doing right now.
• 27:36
  He hates the hands. Who have shed, innocent blood?
• 27:44
  I encourage you to do just a simple research on reasons why
• 27:48
  women have abortions and you're going to find something
• 27:50
  staggering What you will find without a nationwide level or
• 27:55
  state level. Is that a majority of the
• 28:00
  reasons why abortions are performed?
• 28:04
  You're the reasons ready? I just don't feel like I'm ready
• 28:07
  to be a mom. I feel like this child will
• 28:11
  interfere with my school or work.
• 28:14
  I'm afraid to raise this child alone.
• 28:17
  I'm free this child, coming into the world will affect my
• 28:20
  relationship with it with with that partner with others.
• 28:24
  And here are the less frequent reasons.
• 28:27
  I mean, very minimal talking about statistics.
• 28:30
  You're not talking about just saying, I found my stats like
• 28:33
  numbers. The least the number one, these
• 28:37
  rhaegar incest. Isn't that funny because that's
• 28:40
  one of the main arguments for abortion.
• 28:46
  Fetal issues, or the mother being sick of some sort of.
• 28:48
  Effectively, those are the least reasons why our fortunes are
• 28:52
  performed. So the number one reasons why
• 28:54
  abortions are performed is because of inconvenience.
• 29:01
  Inconvenience. And we look at a verse like
• 29:04
  Jeremiah 19. If you look at that context, we
• 29:06
  go back to insane. That's insane.
• 29:10
  That parents would take their children.
• 29:14
  And sacrifice them to an item called bail.
• 29:18
  Let me tell you something. It's no different today.
• 29:22
  That people are still giving up their children, but to a
• 29:25
  different type of idol. It's called themselves.
• 29:30
  It's about my convenience, it's about my life.
• 29:33
  If this child will interfere with what I want to do, I'm
• 29:36
  willing to kill it. What's a fetus?
• 29:41
  Call it. What you want?
• 29:43
  Is it different when it comes out of the womb?
• 29:44
  Yes, so the whole matter of it being a human is a matter of
• 29:47
  location then. Oh no.
• 29:52
  You want to go further and to see how vile this is.
• 29:55
  I encourage you. I encourage you.
• 29:56
  If you have the stomach to hold it, look up.
• 29:59
  How a first trimester abortion is performed. if you really want
• 30:04
  to be able to, Quote, Jeremiah 19:5 for yourself.
• 30:10
  Look up a second. Trimester abortion.
• 30:13
  Let me just give you a few descriptions.
• 30:18
  His you're probably hearing something else on your campus.
• 30:20
  You're probably hearing different arguments, but I
• 30:22
  believe one of the strongest arguments is just to know how
• 30:25
  the ACT is performed itself. You will be convinced.
• 30:28
  Otherwise I'm sure unless you've gone to a place like these
• 30:31
  Israelites have We'll talk about the consequence of the nation,
• 30:35
  who sheds innocent blood. It is not pretty first trimester
• 30:41
  Babies. Small enough for a woman to take
• 30:44
  a certain type of pill. That will essentially there's a
• 30:46
  generalize it. Allow that baby on her next or
• 30:49
  not next but one of her bathroom trips for that baby.
• 30:52
  Be flushed down the toilet. And if that is not successful,
• 30:57
  they'll find a way to put a vacuum suction machine to suck
• 31:01
  out that baby. And if you really stare close
• 31:04
  enough, you'll still be able to see that baby's fingers and
• 31:06
  toes. But perhaps we're delaying on
• 31:10
  your decision to have such a abortion at an early stage so
• 31:13
  you wait until the second trimester so what do they do?
• 31:16
  That babies now too big For that little vacuum to suck it up. and
• 31:23
  so, what they do is they suck out the amniotic fluid, And then
• 31:27
  the going with a client and they can't do this visibly, they
• 31:30
  can't do this with with the knowledge of sight so they do it
• 31:33
  blindly they begin to just chop away at the baby.
• 31:36
  And they begin to pull up different body parts.
• 31:39
  But see the head is too big even for that to be pulled out.
• 31:42
  So what they'll do is they'll crush the baby skull in the
• 31:44
  mother's room. And it take out pieces at a
• 31:50
  time. In order to ensure that every
• 31:54
  piece of it taken out, whether doctor will do is resembled that
• 31:57
  be to make sure that there's no body parts missing.
• 32:01
  And then they'll go in and clean out the rest.
• 32:05
  Of the mess. As Christians, we have to
• 32:13
  understand that the Lord, the Lord sees the womb, it family
• 32:20
  has Jeremiah 1:5. God says, before I formed you in
• 32:26
  the womb, I knew you, Jeremiah even as mr.
• 32:30
  Jeremiah no. Before I formed you.
• 32:36
  So who forms? God, warns, we're in the womb
• 32:38
  before that even though I knew you.
• 32:43
  And before you were born, I consecrated you for what I
• 32:47
  appointed you a prophet to the nation's.
• 32:50
  See when one commits an abortion, the reason why Satan
• 32:55
  loves this act of murder is because not only does he kill a
• 32:58
  person who kills a destiny. Isn't kill a little body.
• 33:05
  Also, kills a calming. Ephesians 2:10 tells us that
• 33:09
  we've been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which he
• 33:12
  prepared beforehand and when one comes in Christ, not only does
• 33:17
  he give you salvation, he gives you service, he gives you a
• 33:20
  purpose in this world. And so, Satan says, in light of
• 33:25
  Jeremiah 1:5 because I know that he forms you.
• 33:29
  And because I know that in the womb, he consecrates, you, I'm
• 33:32
  going to kill you in the womb before you even have a chance of
• 33:36
  a breath of fresh air. Because murder.
• 33:46
  Especially at that level of life.
• 33:50
  And the enemy's mind. Is hindering any opportunity or
• 33:55
  possibility of God's program on the earth advance.
• 34:03
  Think about that too masculine. So they were or not necessarily
• 34:05
  abortions. Think of the two masterminds
• 34:07
  concerning babies in the scriptures.
• 34:09
  Moses Jesus. To delivers.
• 34:15
  And Jesus being ultimately one, right?
• 34:20
  And I wonder what the enemy has in mind with the fact that we
• 34:23
  are. I think reaching 60 million
• 34:24
  since 1973 babies in America alone, what is he thinking?
• 34:27
  It's not what's going on within sight.
• 34:29
  Does he have Who's going to be the next revivalist?
• 34:38
  I don't know, but I'm not willing to take the chance to
• 34:40
  find out. Who's going to be the next
• 34:43
  Jonathan Edwards? I don't know, but I'm going to
• 34:45
  kill that chance even from the womb.
• 34:48
  Who knows what's going on is mine?
• 34:54
  I want to say this boldly. And I pray that you would stick
• 35:00
  by the end of this Bible study to kill the full thing.
• 35:03
  If you have committed an abortion, if you have convince
• 35:07
  somebody to commit abortion, if you've paid for an abortion, you
• 35:10
  are in Murder. There's innocent blood stains.
• 35:23
  but, of course, Of course, people don't take heed to the
• 35:29
  warning, sound in scripture, of course, people.
• 35:34
  Don't want to hear what God has to say.
• 35:38
  So, there are consequences when blood is shed.
• 35:42
  Back in numbers, 35 and you can turn there.
• 35:48
  Numbers, 35, verse 33. This is at the end of the
• 35:53
  chapter concerning God's laws and commands regarding murder.
• 35:58
  Look what he says about murder. You shall not pollute the land
• 36:04
  in which you live. For blood pollutes, the land.
• 36:12
  And no atonement can be made for the land for the blood.
• 36:15
  That is shed in except by the blood of the one who said it.
• 36:20
  I can somebody read the next verse.
• 36:26
  You shall not defile. The land in, which you live in
• 36:29
  the midst of which, I dwell for, I the lord.
• 36:32
  Well in mid to the people of Israel, in which I used well and
• 36:36
  not just where you dwell. Blessed is the nation whose God
• 36:42
  is the Lord. Psalm 33:12 powerful verses in
• 36:46
  it blessed is the nation. Not just Israel.
• 36:49
  Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
• 36:55
  There's blessing of all when a nation acknowledges God is,
• 36:58
  they're gone. But in light of this verse,
• 37:01
  there is a danger because just like a single individual that
• 37:04
  professes Jesus to be Lord, my lips, contrary to it, we can
• 37:09
  write on our money. In God, we trust, we can have
• 37:11
  all the right speeches and our politics.
• 37:14
  We can have all of those things, but if her confession does not
• 37:16
  match our practice, we're in trouble, whether on an
• 37:19
  individual level or national level.
• 37:22
  And what blood does is it pollutes, the Lang and God says,
• 37:26
  I will unless you want me to call you man, you want my
• 37:28
  protection, you want my presence.
• 37:29
  You want my blessing. Don't pollute the land because I
• 37:32
  can't stand blood shed. I can't reside in a place that
• 37:38
  celebrates this. I can't stay here because I am
• 37:41
  Holy and you be holy as I am. Holy if you don't want to be
• 37:45
  holy and here's a first consequence, I withdraw my
• 37:49
  presents from your nation. I withdraw my protection from
• 37:54
  your schools. I withdraw my protection from
• 38:00
  your government and from everything that you can think of
• 38:03
  I'm moving out because the land is polluted.
• 38:10
  It pollutes the land. It makes it filthy, there's a
• 38:13
  stench to it and God is Holy and he will not stay very long in a
• 38:17
  place that the files is character Psalms 106.
• 38:22
  Psalms 106 verse, 37 to 38, you don't have to turn that, I'll
• 38:26
  just read it. This is a commentary on the
• 38:28
  people of Israel, and look what it says.
• 38:31
  They sacrifice their sons and their daughters to the demons.
• 38:37
  Demons. Not wooden statues or bronze,
• 38:41
  sculptures demons. they poured out innocent blood, the blood of
• 38:49
  their sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to the idols of
• 38:52
  Canaan and the land was polluted With blood.
• 39:01
  So, we talked about initially in numbers, 35, that when I land is
• 39:04
  polluted with blood, God warns and Hey, listen, I want to dwell
• 39:07
  here, I want to be in the midst. I want my protective presence
• 39:11
  for you, but if you're going to defile the land, I'm moving out.
• 39:15
  My hand is with John. And Chaos will reign. and
• 39:23
  Satan's domain and activity will enhance as a natural result of
• 39:28
  the absence of God's protection and presence whether in a home,
• 39:32
  whether in your life, whether a Nation Weather wherever, but the
• 39:39
  second thing happens according to Psalms 106 verse 37 and 38,
• 39:43
  we have to go to 42, find out. Then the anger of the Lord was
• 39:48
  kindled against his people and he aboard his Heritage.
• 39:52
  Look what happens in verse 41, the nation that has eluded their
• 39:55
  language blood. He gave them into the hand of
• 39:58
  the Nations so that those who hated them ruled over them, CS
• 40:07
  Lord withdraws. His presence.
• 40:12
  But somebody else comes in. They open themselves up to
• 40:18
  judgment. And if you really study the
• 40:21
  Bible carefully, what you will realize Is that many ways?
• 40:27
  God, judges a nation is through another Nation.
• 40:32
  Many ways. God judges a nation is by using
• 40:36
  another Nation as an instrument of that judgment.
• 40:38
  Can you think of instances in the scripture where that's
• 40:41
  happened? Israel.
• 40:46
  And listen, it's not like after one murder after one case, after
• 40:49
  one act of worship to bail. It was hundreds of years before
• 40:54
  Babylon came in and took over Judah, hundreds of years.
• 41:01
  Remember Genesis 15. When God made that Covenant with
• 41:07
  Abraham and he gave him an inside.
• 41:09
  Hey, listen, your people are going to be enslaved.
• 41:12
  For 400 years until something happens, what happens?
• 41:21
  Given the amalekites and are completed, the sins of another,
• 41:26
  a very close of the amorites is not yet complete.
• 41:30
  So we think about Israelites, invading Canaan and we go.
• 41:33
  That's kind of weird. I mean, that's kind of unjust.
• 41:36
  There's a people group already there.
• 41:37
  Lord. Why would you have the
• 41:38
  Israelites move in and just kick him out?
• 41:39
  Not only kick him out but killing.
• 41:40
  That's But in light of this verse, that's not what God did
• 41:44
  in light of this word. Is a two-fold purpose.
• 41:46
  Yes, Israel needed a land but God could have created a land.
• 41:52
  The, the second purpose was to bring judgment upon the
• 41:55
  Canaanites. And he says, Israel You're not
• 41:59
  moving in just yet. Why?
• 42:01
  Because the iniquity of the amorites has not reached its
• 42:03
  limit yet, wouldn't you? And I want to know what that
• 42:08
  limit is. He doesn't give us a limit, you
• 42:12
  know why? Because humanity is so wicked.
• 42:15
  We will find that limit and we will go just to the place before
• 42:19
  we cross it and we might be track.
• 42:21
  In fact, we're so Wiki we might just cross that.
• 42:22
  Anyway, So he doesn't give us a limit that we don't know.
• 42:27
  It's not like 400 years of it and then I'm going to come or
• 42:29
  200 years of it. And then I'm going to come.
• 42:31
  He did it with Canaan. He did it with the nation of
• 42:34
  Israel. He did it with Babylon.
• 42:37
  In one moment, Daniel Comes Rizza writing on the wall and he
• 42:40
  goes, bad news, man. The medes and the Persians are
• 42:45
  coming in and they're taking over.
• 42:50
  And so here we are 2018 and you know, how will you?
• 42:52
  And I might think or you know how this nation might think.
• 42:57
  If you have any spiritual Insight at all, I won't happen
• 43:01
  to us. Look at it.
• 43:04
  Look how young this nation is. Look how powerful we are.
• 43:09
  Look at all the world where the World Police.
• 43:12
  Everybody looks for our word. Everybody looks for instruction.
• 43:14
  Everybody wants her involvement. You know who talk like that?
• 43:18
  Nebuchadnezzar. Look what I've done.
• 43:23
  Look what I've created. Look at the nation's we've
• 43:25
  invaded. Look at all the gods that we've
• 43:26
  taken over. Look at Rome, you know what Rome
• 43:31
  is right now? A museum.
• 43:36
  Roam. This Unthinkable to even imagine
• 43:41
  in their day that it would be what it is today.
• 43:44
  Pay 20 bucks for a little tour. You know what?
• 43:47
  That can happen to America. This command murder is not.
• 43:57
  A light thing. It's very prophetic.
• 44:01
  Murder has prophetic implications.
• 44:05
  God is clear. If you did it with Israel, if he
• 44:09
  did it. With Babylon, if you did it with
• 44:13
  the Canaanites. disagree with me, if you like, You can do with
• 44:18
  America. Why?
• 44:27
  Because the voices of the spilled blood of individuals can
• 44:32
  only cry out for so long. The first murderer was Satan,
• 44:40
  who is the first human murderer? Cain, Genesis 4.
• 44:45
  And there's this one verse that should terrify us and verse 10.
• 44:51
  Genesis, for the Lord said. What have you done the voice of
• 45:00
  your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
• 45:09
  Blood has a voice Spilled blood has a voice. and he's saying, A
• 45:19
  cane. Your brother is talking to me,
• 45:23
  in fact, he's crying out to me. And that's not just true of
• 45:28
  Abel. Wouldn't you like to know what
• 45:31
  it sounded like? Or whether it does sound like
• 45:36
  for spilled blood to be crying out to God we don't have to
• 45:41
  guess there's a host of people that cry out to God and I will
• 45:45
  crowd the got in Revelation 6, 10.
• 45:47
  Look what they say. These are the martyrs They cried
• 45:51
  out with a loud voice o Sovereign Lord!
• 45:54
  Holy and true how long before you will judge and avenge our
• 45:59
  blood on those who dwell on the Earth.
• 46:03
  That's what it sounds like. Your holy you're just my blood
• 46:10
  has been spilled in an unjust manner.
• 46:12
  God, how long will you withhold your judgment upon those who
• 46:17
  dwell on the earth who have performed this vicious act
• 46:22
  against the image of God? And I want you for a moment to
• 46:28
  just imagine in America alone, never mind, the murders that
• 46:31
  happened, through shootings, and homicides and all these
• 46:33
  different things. I want you to just Zone in, on
• 46:36
  the 58. I believe million babies.
• 46:38
  And what it sounds like in the ears of God as they all cry out,
• 46:41
  holy and just one, when will you avenge our blood against
• 46:46
  America? I'm sure that God can only bear
• 46:54
  it for so long. And the only reason why he
• 46:57
  hasn't done something already is because of his Mercy.
• 47:03
  Is because he desires all to reach repentance, even in the
• 47:05
  midst of the Bloodshed and the pools of blood that are reaching
• 47:08
  the heavens. Because there's an important
• 47:13
  verse concerning blood to Hebrews 12 24, that Jesus blood
• 47:18
  ho, this is powerful Jesus's, blood speaks a better word than
• 47:24
  able, sort of says, the blood of Jesus speaks a better word than
• 47:32
  Abel. Meaning what?
• 47:36
  The blood of Abel. Says vengeance, but the blood of
• 47:41
  Jesus screams Mercy. The blood of Abel shouts for
• 47:48
  Rath, the blood of Jesus, please for salvation, the blood of Abel
• 47:54
  says judge. The blood of Jesus says save,
• 47:58
  it's a better word than able. And the only way that the voices
• 48:05
  that are coming from the pools of blood that has been shed and
• 48:08
  America is if America cries out for the blood of Jesus to speak.
• 48:14
  Speak on their behalf. The only way these voices that
• 48:22
  are crying out for judgment. To be muted in a sense and for
• 48:28
  God to turn his ear away from that is if the blood of Jesus
• 48:32
  covers this nation from coast to coast and a mighty sweeping Holy
• 48:38
  Spirit. Revival the only way that
• 48:43
  Bloodshed, whether an individual level, Whether somebody has
• 48:51
  performed this act of abortion themselves or have contributed
• 48:53
  to anyway, guess what that act is not outside of the blood of
• 48:58
  Jesus to cleanse. In the only way that you and I
• 49:02
  can have Bloodshed and the stain of that blood removed from us is
• 49:06
  if we applied the blood of the Lamb, there's no other way.
• 49:11
  The blood of Jesus speaks a better word than Abel's.
• 49:16
  The blood of Jesus is America's only hope.
• 49:20
  The blood of Jesus must be preached.
• 49:24
  In light of the fact that sin is filthy and vile.
• 49:28
  Because if people don't understand the filthiness of
• 49:30
  sin, why would they want the blood to wash them?
• 49:33
  I don't need the blood. I'm clean.
• 49:35
  No, you're not. You have guilt on your hands.
• 49:39
  Seek his blood. Only, it can wash. but in the
• 49:47
  New Covenant, Jesus categorises murder in a different way not
• 49:53
  that he removes murder the violent Act.
• 49:58
  From the understanding of what it is, but he adds to it and I'm
• 50:01
  sure our minds are going somewhere.
• 50:03
  Does anybody know where he speaks of this?
• 50:09
  Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5 21 to 23.
• 50:13
  What did he say? You have heard that it was said
• 50:16
  to those of old. That's what we just covered to.
• 50:18
  Those of old, you shall not murder and whoever murders will
• 50:23
  be liable to judgment. but I say to you, We're in Grace, right?
• 50:31
  We're in the Covenant of Grace, right?
• 50:33
  Grace is two miles ahead of law. What does he say?
• 50:37
  But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother
• 50:41
  will be liable to judgment. Whoever insults his brother will
• 50:46
  be liable to the council and whoever says you fool raka, will
• 50:50
  be liable to the hell of Fire. So Jesus, identifies anger.
• 51:00
  Insults. And later in the book of First
• 51:03
  John hatred as a manifestation of murder.
• 51:12
  This anger is not a reactionary anger to something that has been
• 51:15
  done unjustly Jesus. Manifested that anger in the
• 51:18
  temple. We got to see everything in
• 51:20
  light of the whole counsel of God.
• 51:24
  Nor is it a righteous? Indignation, that is sense.
• 51:27
  When something like what? We just spoke of abortion is
• 51:29
  performed on a daily basis like those who have dinner it's an
• 51:36
  anger that is Created from an unjust cause and it's an anger
• 51:41
  that swirls in our hearts, that produces these thoughts that
• 51:46
  would defame or seeking the unfortune of another It's an
• 51:54
  unrighteous anger, it's an anger that lingers long enough and if
• 51:58
  you just feed it, long enough will turn into hatred.
• 52:04
  Why is he saying this? Because God, even in the old
• 52:07
  Covenant. He's making it very clear in the
• 52:10
  New Covenant. The Lord is concerned with our
• 52:12
  Inner Man, the Lord is concerned about our heart, he's concerned
• 52:16
  about our thought life. See, you will know somebody who
• 52:18
  really fears God. A person who doesn't fear God is
• 52:22
  not concerned about their inner man or not, they can be eaten up
• 52:26
  by lust and envy and pride and all they're concerned about is
• 52:30
  how people see them? Oh praise God, hallelujah.
• 52:34
  Oh yeah, and they quote the verses but inside their vile and
• 52:37
  filthy and I know we fight Temptation not talking about
• 52:39
  sinless perfection here but a person who does fear God as a
• 52:42
  person that in their prayer. Doesn't just say, Lord make me
• 52:44
  look wholly outside. I pray that you clean me on the
• 52:47
  inside because though nobody else can see what's in the
• 52:50
  inside. You can see my thought life.
• 52:52
  And God, I want Jesus to be the theme of my thought, life God,
• 52:55
  don't nobody else sees my motive.
• 52:57
  When I preach, when I sing, when I served you see my motive Lord
• 53:01
  cleanse me. So Jesus saying, listen in this
• 53:04
  cup and I really want to understand, this is about
• 53:05
  relationship and though, nobody else can see what's an inside I
• 53:09
  can. And when you're angry unjustly
• 53:11
  and when you have hatred, it's murder in my sight.
• 53:17
  You think I'm exaggerating first?
• 53:19
  John 3:15, makes it very clear. You can highlight that you can
• 53:21
  put it right beside Matthew. 5:21 everyone who hates his
• 53:24
  brother is a murderer. I love all the Bible's so
• 53:28
  Direct. He's a murderer.
• 53:32
  This is the same epistle. The top tells us God Is Love by
• 53:34
  the way. Everyone who hates his brother
• 53:39
  is a murderer and you know that no murderer has eternal life
• 53:42
  abiding in him. So again he's talking about
• 53:44
  hatred being on the same level of somebody killing somebody.
• 53:49
  You know what? The sermon of the mount is
• 53:50
  producing NS, Jesus, I Need You. That's what it's producing in
• 53:53
  us. I need Grace, I need the
• 53:55
  indwelling of the Holy Spirit. I wonder how many murders we
• 53:59
  have here today? I never killed anybody.
• 54:03
  Do you hate the person that you're sitting beside or the
• 54:05
  person that's on the other side of the room?
• 54:10
  Do you meditate on thoughts of Misfortune and somebody being
• 54:12
  destroyed or somebody something happening in somebody else's
• 54:15
  life, that would even kill them? Is that that how you ease the
• 54:19
  pain that you have in your heart?
• 54:22
  The Bible tells us You're a murderer.
• 54:31
  Hatred insults. Anger and Jesus eyes are
• 54:38
  manifestations of murder. Can you think of another one in
• 54:42
  the New Covenant? It's in the old to, but it's
• 54:44
  really clear in the New Covenant that this is the same level as
• 54:48
  murder. You might be shocked.
• 54:58
  Who is familiar with John 10:10? The thief comes to what steal
• 55:05
  kill and destroy. Who's the thief Satan who says
• 55:13
  Satan. Any other thoughts?
• 55:22
  In the context, it's not Satan. Turn to John chapter 10.
• 55:31
  Though, those qualities can be attributed to Satan, Jesus
• 55:35
  speaking in a different context here.
• 55:38
  And he says something about the thief.
• 55:41
  And before we go to that verse, we have to go to verse 1 of John
• 55:45
  chapter 10. Truly truly, I say to you, he
• 55:50
  who does not enter the Sheepfold by the door.
• 55:52
  But climbs in, by another way, that man is a thief and a
• 55:57
  robber, stop there. So Jesus talked about how he is
• 56:01
  the door. He's talking about how he's the
• 56:03
  Good Shepherd. He's talking about how salvation
• 56:06
  is only through him. And what he's saying here is if
• 56:09
  anybody comes in by another door, climbs in another way,
• 56:13
  that man is a thief. Okay, go to verse 8.
• 56:19
  What does verse 8 tell us? All who came before me are
• 56:25
  thieves and robbers, but the Sheep did not listen to him.
• 56:32
  So, based on these two verses that thief in John 10:10 is not
• 56:37
  speaking about safe. And speaking about false
• 56:38
  teachers, And that Thief kills. Four steals kills, then
• 56:47
  destroys. So anybody, according to verse
• 56:50
  1, that tells you that salvation is outside of Jesus Christ.
• 56:54
  Is that Thief, anybody that mixes the gospel with good
• 56:58
  works, Grace and good works. Not just Grace is a thief.
• 57:05
  And Jesus says, anybody who came before me wasn't talking about
• 57:07
  the prophets, I spoke on his behalf, he was talking about the
• 57:09
  false Messiahs. Those who came before me.
• 57:13
  They are thieves, why? Because they steal salvation
• 57:17
  from you, which is eternal life. They rob you and when they rob
• 57:22
  you of that that leads to not just death but destruction.
• 57:28
  So all those verses that Paul speaks about like an axe 20 26
• 57:33
  and 27, what does he tell the elders?
• 57:35
  Because there for I testify to you this day that I'm innocent
• 57:38
  of what the blood of all I'm innocent of the blood of all,
• 57:45
  why for I did not shrink from declaring to you, the whole
• 57:48
  counsel of God In other words, I'm not guilty of your blood.
• 57:54
  Why? Because I did not hold back from
• 57:56
  telling you. That there is only one way I did
• 57:59
  not hold back from telling you the whole counsel of God, I did
• 58:02
  not hold back from the things that are controversial, on the
• 58:04
  things that make you feel uncomfortable, or the things
• 58:06
  that are confrontational, know why?
• 58:08
  Because I don't want to be labeled as a murderer.
• 58:15
  I wonder how many murders are behind pulpits.
• 58:20
  Because they do shrink from declaring the whole counsel of
• 58:22
  God. Remember Ezekiel Ezekiel if you
• 58:26
  do not want a sinner about his sin, his blood and he dies, his
• 58:28
  blood shall be on your hands the same language.
• 58:31
  But if you do warn him and he dies in a sin, you are free from
• 58:34
  his blood. So week by week, right?
• 58:41
  We by a person whoever it is that comes here.
• 58:46
  It's a matter of life and death. It's a matter of life and death.
• 58:53
  So, false teaching isn't a matter of at their doctrines a
• 58:55
  little bit off. It's a matter of, he's a
• 58:57
  murderer. I'm not talking about secondary
• 59:03
  issues, I'm not talking about things that are non-essentials.
• 59:06
  I'm talking about clear distinct, foundational truths,
• 59:11
  that are opposed and preached against Because a thief steals
• 59:16
  for his own gain. I don't want blood on my hands.
• 59:24
  You may not like me. That's fine.
• 59:30
  There's a judge waiting. I have to talk to him at the
• 59:34
  end. False teaching.
• 59:40
  Oh, there's so much to say about this.
• 59:41
  Commandment, I'll end on OneNote Deuteronomy 13.
• 59:49
  Remember how there is authorized murder.
• 59:54
  There is authorized murder. In the Old Testament.
• 1:00:02
  Look What the Lord says in Deuteronomy 13.
• 1:00:07
  Verse 1. If a prophet or a dreamer of
• 1:00:10
  Dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder and
• 1:00:13
  the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass.
• 1:00:15
  That's scary. If somebody comes and performs a
• 1:00:18
  miracle, And if it comes to pass and if he says no, this is
• 1:00:22
  important part. Let us go after other gods,
• 1:00:26
  which you have not known and let us serve them.
• 1:00:28
  You shall not listen to the words of that Prophet or that
• 1:00:31
  dreamer of Dreams. That's a really good principal
• 1:00:35
  in life that even if somebody is a miracle worker.
• 1:00:40
  Even if somebody is impressive in their spiritual gifting,
• 1:00:43
  whatever it may be but their message does not line up with
• 1:00:46
  this message. What are you going to do?
• 1:00:49
  Not moment because so many people are so drawn to the
• 1:00:51
  supernatural these days. So much so that they're willing
• 1:00:55
  to compromise the message for the manifestation, you know
• 1:00:59
  what, God says, that kind of thinking.
• 1:01:02
  For the Lord your God is testing.
• 1:01:04
  You to know whether you love the Lord, your God with all your
• 1:01:07
  heart and with all your soul, Even if it's impressive, even if
• 1:01:13
  it's powerful, even if it's something that moves you do, the
• 1:01:16
  message is not the same. Are you willing to reject it?
• 1:01:21
  I'm in the end times there's going to be a false teacher.
• 1:01:23
  He's going to woo. A lot of people.
• 1:01:25
  But he is a different message. You shall walk after the Lord,
• 1:01:29
  your God verse 24 and fear Him, and keep his Commandments and
• 1:01:32
  obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fashion, but
• 1:01:35
  it doesn't stop there. Look at verse 6, not just a
• 1:01:37
  false prophet. If your brother, the son of your
• 1:01:41
  mother, or your son, or your daughter or the wife, you
• 1:01:44
  Embrace, or your friend. Who is as your soul entices you
• 1:01:48
  secretly let us go and serve other gods which neither you or
• 1:01:51
  your father's have known, some of the Gods of the peoples who
• 1:01:54
  are around you whether Or near you or far off from you from the
• 1:01:57
  one end of the Earth to the other, you shall not yield him
• 1:02:01
  or listen to him. Nor shall you?
• 1:02:03
  I pity him. Nor shall you spare him?
• 1:02:05
  Nor shall you conceal him but you shall kill him.
• 1:02:14
  So there was ways in the Old Testament on the no old
• 1:02:17
  Covenant. But I want to spiritualize this
• 1:02:21
  for a moment because the spiritual implication is true.
• 1:02:25
  The types of relationships you have in this life.
• 1:02:31
  Do you have people in your life that are obviously enticing?
• 1:02:35
  You Away from Devotion to God. Away from his Commandments away
• 1:02:41
  from his word. Those enticements, whether you
• 1:02:47
  believe it or not are intended to kill you.
• 1:02:52
  Not talking about physical death.
• 1:02:53
  I'm talking about your walk with the Lord, and I want to
• 1:02:55
  spiritualize this kill that relationship before it kills
• 1:02:59
  you. Kill that relationship.
• 1:03:04
  Yes, God is against murder, but there is authorized killing.
• 1:03:08
  And here's one of them, I believe, That if there are
• 1:03:13
  people in your life that are surrounding you and that you are
• 1:03:16
  surrounded with that are enticing, you away from this
• 1:03:19
  word and a holy Life Style, you have every right to kill that
• 1:03:23
  relationship and to frame it rightly.
• 1:03:26
  So they don't entice you because the Lord is testing you.
• 1:03:30
  To see whether you love him more.
• 1:03:36
  And we need wisdom. We need insight to know how to
• 1:03:39
  relate with people that have different viewpoints.
• 1:03:41
  I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about those that you
• 1:03:43
  know, you feel the pull to go into a certain lifestyle, you
• 1:03:48
  feel the pull of people taking you away from a wholehearted
• 1:03:53
  Devotion to the Lord those people.
• 1:04:01
  So many things, worse it tonight, concerning this
• 1:04:04
  commandment. I want us to be cat.
• 1:04:06
  Listen, God, hates murder in the physical sense because it
• 1:04:09
  defames, it destroys his image, its representation has been
• 1:04:14
  second, the advances the kingdom in advance of the agenda of the
• 1:04:17
  enemy. That is not isolated to those
• 1:04:22
  who are outside of the room. That is very much real.
• 1:04:24
  For those that are in the womb, there are consequences on the
• 1:04:28
  individual level and they're also consequences on a national
• 1:04:32
  level. And on that note of a national
• 1:04:36
  level listen, it is gone beyond reason when you really look into
• 1:04:40
  it, when you really study this understanding of abortion it
• 1:04:42
  goes beyond reason. I mean it just it's now we've
• 1:04:46
  entered into a place professing to be wise, they became fools.
• 1:04:50
  How can you tell me that in some states?
• 1:04:53
  It is considered double homicide, if a woman is murdered
• 1:04:57
  with a baby in her womb, yet at the same time.
• 1:05:00
  If that same woman gets it to her car goes to an abortion
• 1:05:04
  clinic and murders that be? Maybe it's called rights.
• 1:05:12
  But there is a blood that cleanses us even from murder,
• 1:05:16
  the blood of Jesus Christ. His blood cleanses us from all
• 1:05:20
  blood guilt, doesn't matter what it is.
• 1:05:22
  It doesn't matter the amount you've done it in.
• 1:05:26
  One drop one drop of the blood of Jesus.
• 1:05:29
  This Is the Scandal of Grace can cover the blood of 58 million
• 1:05:34
  babies. That's how powerful his Delight
• 1:05:36
  is. You saying, I don't like the
• 1:05:39
  sound. That sounds in, just welcome to
• 1:05:40
  the realm of Grace. The cross is an offense in that
• 1:05:45
  sense, but that's the power of the blood of Jesus if we don't
• 1:05:49
  have that hope. And that is not how powerful is
• 1:05:52
  blood as we are hopeless, because do me did not shed
• 1:05:55
  blood. We did so in our hearts, We've
• 1:05:58
  hated we become angry in an unjust manner.
• 1:06:01
  You explode with anger to situations that do not deserve
• 1:06:04
  for you, to explode in Anger, you've committed murder.
• 1:06:08
  This is what Jesus is saying. Do you hate your brother?
• 1:06:13
  John says, You're a murderer. And you know, I don't murder has
• 1:06:15
  no everlasting life. False teaching is murder.
• 1:06:24
  There's No Escape, There's No Escape except one place the foot
• 1:06:27
  of the cross. That's our Escape, that's our
• 1:06:30
  hope. That's why we can sing.
• 1:06:32
  That's what we need to preach it.
• 1:06:34
  And that's why even for the next few moments, we have to pray for
• 1:06:37
  America. We have to pray for this nation.
• 1:06:43
  This, this conversation about abortion and this topic can
• 1:06:46
  become so frequent that we become so numb to it.
• 1:06:55
  And I have no idea whether this generation or the next.
• 1:07:00
  God will do something drastic. But may we be like Daniel Daniel
• 1:07:07
  chapter 9. Remember Dana had no recorded
• 1:07:11
  fault in that book. There is nothing that you can
• 1:07:13
  pin on Daniel as you read those verses.
• 1:07:15
  But you know what, Daniel did in chapter 9?
• 1:07:16
  Forgive us of our sin, Forgive Israel.
• 1:07:20
  Forgive our fathers. Forgive us.
• 1:07:22
  He included himself. He humbled himself.
• 1:07:30
  What's amazing about Daniel was, he was recognized as the
• 1:07:32
  Beloved, and I believe one of the reasons why because he took
• 1:07:36
  it upon himself to pray for his Nation.
• 1:07:38
  I believe that's one of the characteristics that Daniel was
• 1:07:41
  so outside. He was so aware that he involved
• 1:07:44
  himself in intercessory prayer and it got the attention of
• 1:07:47
  Heaven. He got the attention of Heaven.
• 1:07:55
  So, just even being transparent. Just even studying this one
• 1:07:59
  command today. And last night, I was thinking
• 1:08:01
  to myself. God, this means so much to you,
• 1:08:05
  maybe it means so much to me. Don't let me take this lightly
• 1:08:09
  Lord, please don't let this just be a study where I connect and
• 1:08:14
  reconnect versus a oh, I never saw that verse that way.
• 1:08:16
  That's not the point of Bible study.
• 1:08:19
  The say, Lord, if this is so Grievous to your, if this is
• 1:08:21
  something that that you even said, I can't even think of the
• 1:08:25
  things that you're doing, Lord, I want that same righteous
• 1:08:27
  indignation, not to condemn, not to judge, not to do these
• 1:08:31
  things. But to be like, Daniel, Who
• 1:08:34
  prayed for his nation that was undergoing judgment.
• 1:08:39
  I wonder for undergoing judgment today.
• 1:08:41
  I wonder if all this chaos politically in our schools, I
• 1:08:44
  wonder if this is God. I wonder if this is just the
• 1:08:47
  first step where he just withdrew himself.
• 1:08:53
  Now, I want to be very careful with making statements here.
• 1:08:58
  But I don't want to wait long enough to discover what more can
• 1:09:03
  happen. But may we be a people really
• 1:09:07
  really really, I'm not trying to be inspirational and really be a
• 1:09:10
  people that can partner with the heart of God and say, Lord may
• 1:09:13
  my prayers somehow reverse this judgment and may we see Revival
• 1:09:17
  instead. They may people realize that
• 1:09:20
  there's only hope in the blood of Jesus Christ.
• 1:09:24
  To clean our record from all the Bloodshed that we see today.
• 1:09:27
  Let's pray together. I want to make this call very
• 1:09:33
  simple call as we've just gone through this Bible study.
• 1:09:37
  If there's murder in your heart at any level.
• 1:09:40
  I'm talking about abortion from abortion to hatred, whatever it
• 1:09:44
  may be. I want you to know tonight that
• 1:09:46
  there is grace and mercy and Jesus Christ.
• 1:09:48
  I want you to know the night that Jesus knew that he
• 1:09:51
  understands what happened, he saw it, he recorded it.
• 1:09:54
  In fact, there's blood crying out but there is a voice that
• 1:09:58
  can outcry the guilt in your life and that's the blood of
• 1:10:01
  Jesus. So what does it look like?
• 1:10:03
  It looks like you saying Jesus. I understand it only.
• 1:10:06
  Your blood can make me clean my own righteousness.
• 1:10:09
  My own efforts. It's cannot out.
• 1:10:11
  Do what I've done. Concerning my record of sin, I'm
• 1:10:13
  calling out to you and I'm asking wash me in your blood.
• 1:10:18
  Wash me in your blood. Cleanse my record.
• 1:10:26
  I bring it to you. I need Mercy.
• 1:10:35
  I need Mercy. and if you find it in your heart, even now before
• 1:10:41
  we worship this, a lord touch America, Touch our nation touch
• 1:10:47
  our laws. Lord you saying proverbs 31 8
• 1:10:50
  that I am called to open up my mouth for those that are mute.
• 1:10:55
  And Lord if I can open up my mouth. in a place that can be
• 1:11:00
  influenced to change their laws, I will open up my mouth and
• 1:11:02
  intercession and I will intercede for those that cannot
• 1:11:05
  intercede for themselves. And I said, Lord have mercy have
• 1:11:10
  mercy. Have mercy.
• 1:11:13
  Let's pray together. Father we come before you
• 1:11:15
  tonight in light of this one command that carry so much
• 1:11:19
  weight Lord. Perhaps we did not realize how
• 1:11:23
  much we are guilty of it. Lord.
• 1:11:26
  If there's anybody in here, that does not know you.
• 1:11:27
  They stumbled into this place and they realize that they don't
• 1:11:31
  have a relationship with Jesus Christ, and they are guilty of
• 1:11:33
  this sin of murder. By the power of your Holy
• 1:11:38
  Spirit. Would you reveal to them?
• 1:11:39
  The hope the Salvation that is found in Union with Jesus Christ
• 1:11:44
  and that if they call upon your name they shall be saved or may
• 1:11:49
  they find it within themselves to realize that there is no
• 1:11:52
  other door that they can enter into.
• 1:11:55
  There's only one door. There's only one way.
• 1:11:57
  There's only one. Good shepherd.
• 1:11:59
  That can recruit and save and shelter, us.
• 1:12:03
  But father together, we pray for America, we pray for this
• 1:12:07
  nation. And Lord, we just ask somehow
• 1:12:10
  some way, may we with our own eyes, see, a Revival met with
• 1:12:14
  our own eyes. See a change in our laws, Lord
• 1:12:17
  for the sake of these lives, God for the sake of these Destinies,
• 1:12:21
  Lord, that could have come about the good.
• 1:12:24
  That could have come the righteousness that could have
• 1:12:25
  spread Who knows? Lorde?
• 1:12:33
  Father, for those who may have committed that act of abortion,
• 1:12:36
  whether they're here or we don't know who they are.
• 1:12:39
  Lord, and they feel that guilt and that shame would you send
• 1:12:42
  laborers their way to hear the gospel and to know, the hope
• 1:12:47
  that is found in Christ and the Forgiveness that is available to
• 1:12:51
  them. And Lord, we just read how this
• 1:12:58
  means so much to you. Would it mean so much to us?
• 1:13:04
  Would you take these Truth by the Holy Spirit and brand them
• 1:13:06
  on our hearts? May they be something that bring
• 1:13:10
  us to our knees. May you give people here at
• 1:13:13
  prophetic voice that in wisdom. And in righteousness, defend the
• 1:13:20
  cause of those who cannot do it themselves.
• 1:13:23
  Birth Ministries out of this place that would rescue Souls.
• 1:13:28
  That would rescue people from making these wrong decisions.
• 1:13:32
  God, if there's anything in our hearts though, we've never shed
• 1:13:35
  blood. if we have cursed, if we meditate on the misfortune or
• 1:13:43
  the destruction, Of any other person, especially our brothers,
• 1:13:49

• 1:13:53
  out of us and replace it with a Heart of Love, mercy and

  blood. And tonight we sing in light of
• 1:14:07
