  Speaker 1: as one to them.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: But the world preached did not forfeit them, because they
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: are fit, did not feed on the ward. The word
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: of God is the life support of our feet. Relieve
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: by the world of God.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: God, blessed be God Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Probhaps ten, verse twenty eight. The hope of the righteous
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: shall be gladness. The hope of the righteous shall be gladness.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Body expectation of the wicked shall shall perish, welcome to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: fate feed Episode one hundred and eighty one. The hope
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: of the righteous, hope of the righteous. People always look
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: for a way to bring the righteous down, to castigate
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the righteous, to bring the people of God to a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: state of vulnerability, whereby they can no longer be able
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to stand on the confidence the hope of their calling
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: like efficiency Chapter one, verse seventeen, telling us that the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: eyes of our understanding can be will be enlightened, that
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: we will know what is the hope. Okay, so there
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: is a hope that is meant to be known. And
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: if the believer doesn't know of this hope, he becomes
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: a victim of the snare of the fowler. That snare
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: is actually the expectation of the wicked, like the scriptures,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and in order for that snare to be broken, there
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: has to be an equation of the joy of this.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: That's why the SAMs said, David said, the joy of
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the Lord is my strength. So even in the face
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of castigation, in the face of being down cast, you
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: have to ensure that the strength is the hope. That's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: why in the next that they talked about strength. The
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: way of the Lord is strength. So if we must
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: deal with wickedness, with the expectation of the wicked, we
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: must secure strength from the Lord. The Bible says, what
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the hope of the righteous shall be, what gladness? That's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: it will end. The reason why many people cannot embrace
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: this is because the Bible tells us that Christ has
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: become of no effect. When Christ becomes of no effect
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: through the heart of a man. Let's read Realation chapter five.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Verson reading from verse four, it says Christ is become
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: of no effect, no effect, no effect unto you. It says,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: whatsoever you are justified by the law, ye have fallen
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: from grace as we for we through the spirit wait
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: for the hope of righteousness by faith. Now follow me.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: The Bible is showing know that to the spirits. Two
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: with what we wait That means you cannot embrace the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: hope of the righteous is found with the Holy Spirit.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: There is no hope if a man is without the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Spirit of Christ. Yes, because it's from the Spirit that
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you secure the joy. The fruit of the spirit is right.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: It's from secure the strength to ensure that you do
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: not lose hope. That's why it says after that, it
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: says we trueward the spirit, we wait for the hope
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of righteousness. It doesn't mean that we are not we
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: are the righteousness of God by christisus. But there is
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a hope of the righteous that the righteous needs in
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: order to cut down the expectations of the wicked. So
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: inasmuch as the expectation of the righteous and not because shots,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the question remains, where is the hope of the righteous?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: That's why it began with the spirit of joy, because
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the Bible was that the end of that hope is
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: what gladness. First Timultive one, verse one Paul an Apostle
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God as Savior
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope, Which is
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: our our hope first bitter three, verse fifteen. But sanctified
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to give an answer to every man that this is,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: this is on that path wor. He says, be ready
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: always to give any man that accept you a reason
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of the hope. So that means that hope is not
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: just a knowledge to embrace, it's a conviction.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: This conviction is important to titles three verse reading from
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: verse seven, let's take journey. The Bible says that being
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to the hope of eternal life, the hope. Now, now
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: watch this, he says. This is a faithful saying. Listen,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and these things I will that thou watch that world affirm.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Because it's a matter of conviction, not a matter of knowledge.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: It says that the fame constantly that day, which which
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: have believed in God might be kept. So people who
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: actually know of God, who believe God, Okay, they can
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: become a careful, careless that's what.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: He's saying here.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: He said, though those who have believed God might be careful,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: so people can become careless to maintain good works. Now
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: look at this is these things are good and profitable.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: One to me says, but foolish. Now here this mad
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: but foolish. Avoid foolish questions. These fullish chatures are talking
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: about things that come to take away. That's still that
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: hope that comes to wicking the strength, that joy of
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the Lord is my strength. It comes to ensure that
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a believer do not have the assurance of faith. It
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: is what avoid futiscatures and genealogists and what contents very
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: important contentions. There are people who their job is just
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to argue. I'll put it plain. This is what is saying.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Anything that contradicts that will wicking your faith, avoid it,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and there is not that. Faith is conviction. Faith is
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: your conviction, and anything that is arguing about your faith
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: is trying to waken your conviction. And once your conviction
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: is wicked, your hope is wicked. The Bible says for
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: their unprofitable, they are what unprofitable and thein so, as
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a believer, you must be wise enough to ensure that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the hope of righteousness within you, the hope that is
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: within you, remains a life remains active and not subdued
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: by a cloud of uncertainty. That's why the Bible tells
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: in James that what a double minded man is unstable
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in all his ways. Why because there is a cloud
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of uncertainties, you can't make progress. This will if you
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: second guess what the hope that have been given to you,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: If you second guess your redemption, your redemptive.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Rights, who you are in Christ, you will weaken.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: The worlds of That is why the expectation of the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: beguins we prevail. The hope of the righteous supposed to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: end in gladness, not sorrou So it's an error when
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the believer ends in sadness. In order to secure this,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you can do the other side. But there is something
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you need to do to be building, to be fortifying.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: That's why the Bible tells in Ju twenty one, build
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: up your musolifit praying in the holy gooods that muslifit
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: is simply talking about your conviction.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, we know that you believe, but there is a building.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: There is a fortification that needs to be done in
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: order to secure the hope, so that the expectations of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the righteous share not because shot your own expectation has to.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: That's why even Paul knew that this thing is a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: matter of prayer. That's somebody being able to beauty fortify.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: If a matter of is something that needs to be
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: prayed for efficiency one Versus says, or I seas not
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to give them. So you're making mention of him by
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: prayers that the God of our loges of Christ Glory
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: may give on to you the spirit of wisdom and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: revelation in the knowledge of Him. Now why do you
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: need the spirit of wisdom and spirit of revelation? It
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: that says what that the eyes of your understanding will
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: be enlightened? And why does your eyes the eyes of
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: your understand needs to be enlightened? Say so that you
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: will know what is the hope in other world? You
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: will fortify your knowledge of Christ. So God is giving
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you wisdom, the spirit of wisdom and giving you revelation
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of Christ in order to fortify your knowledge of Christ.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Is as simple as that. Look, look, our problem is
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: not Christianity. We have Christians with no convictions. That's the issue.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: That's the battle that we are fighting. Conviction comes first.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: That's why the reason why you give your life to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Christ is because you were convicted of the spirit. Yes, God,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: use men, but you were convicted. If the spirit is
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: not involved, that's salvation. You will just you will not
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: go find Why it is called eternal is because there
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: is a spirit involved. So convictions are held by spirit.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So you know that for you to be convinced more,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you need to That's why I said, praying the Holy
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: build up your most holy fit. Yes, so there is
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a conscious building of that most holy fit conviction.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: The hope of.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Righteousness that we are is the spirit of Christ. Is
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that spirit that will caused the hope of righteousness is
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the spirit of God.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Is the Spirit of Christ. Is the wont keeping no south.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: And in order for us to ensure that we keep
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: in step, our hope is secured, we must ensure that
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: our convictions about Him is secured. I remain the faith
