- 2:42I have appointed you, Amen, as a watchman. Hear the word from
- 2:46my mouth and give them warning from me. Amen. And God says to

- 2:58God has said, to speak what God is spoken, Amen, to declare
- 3:00what God has a man made claim for each and every one of us.
- 3:06And Amen, it is incumbed upon each of every one of us to be
- 3:10able to say, those of us who are ministers of the Gospel, Amen,
- 3:15to be able to say, as the apostle Paul said, I am
- 3:19free from the blood of all men, for I have not shunned to declare
- 3:23unto you all the whole counsel of God. And again Amen, in such
- 3:30a time as this, that is our Amen, endeavored by the grace of
- 3:35God, to speak the truth of God in love boldness, Amen, and
- 3:38with the confidence and assurance of God keeping his promises God, Amen. Always
- 3:50as it was as he said about his word, my words shall not return
- 3:53to me void. And so we can have the confidence and assurance Amen,
- 3:58that God Amen confirms his word. Amen, and he ensures his he watches
- 4:02over his word. Amen. And so we can stand amen boldly with that
- 4:08confidence. Amen. And today, of course, we continue in our Amen
- 4:13series on First Corinthians, the Letter to the Corinthian Congregation First Corinthians. We
- 4:19are today in chapter number five. We're going to be dealing with verses one
- 4:25through eight, and I want to take a subject title and I want you
- 4:29to take this to heart and please understand the times and seasons which we're in.
- 4:35And this is this is in every generation pretty much. I mean it's
- 4:41because people are the same, Amen, from generation to generation. But it
- 4:46is morning time, and I mean morning, I mean mourning m o r
- 4:50n I n G. I mean m O U are Amen n I n
- 4:57G mourning, crying, weeping time. Amen. And we're going to see
- 5:01an example of this, a man with the Corinthians, a man who had
- 5:08sin in the camp and did not deal with it. Not only did he
- 5:12not deal with it, a man they gloried in it. They were literally
- 5:17celebrating, Amen, the sin and the sinner in their midst, not understanding
- 5:24how detrimental sin is to Amen, not only individuals on an individual basis,
- 5:31but Amen, as we're going to see a man in the letter today that
- 5:35it just takes a little bit of living a man, A little bit of
- 5:40poison is all it takes to kill a person. Amen. And that's what
- 5:44sin is. Sin is poisonous, it is detrimental, and we, as
- 5:47the people of God, need to have a whole. I mean a healthy
- 5:59fear of God God and hatred of sin. A healthy fear of God and
- 6:03a hatred of sin, and and and and also we have a and should
- 6:09always possess as those who have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
- 6:14We should always have a man, a reverence for and and and a mutual
- 6:21appreciation for what Jesus died for. What Jesus died to deliver us from what
- 6:28he suffered for a man, what he gave his his life for. Amen,
- 6:33for our sins. He's the redeemer. He's the one who came to
- 6:38a man deliver us from the power of sin, a man, so that
- 6:43sin would have no more dominion over us. And so in the Church of
- 6:46Jesus Christ, we need to have a healthy again respect and the mutual admiration
- 6:54and uh uh have a disdain for sin in our own hearts and also in
- 7:01the church. Amen, because again we are one body, and wherever there
- 7:08is sin in the body, anywhere anywhere in the body of Christ, it
- 7:14affects all of us. Amen. First Corinthians, chapter number five. I'm
- 7:17going to begin reading at verse number one. This is these words, Paul
- 7:23writes, to the church. He said, it is actually reported that there
- 7:28is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named
- 7:38among the gentiles, that a man has his father's wife, wow verse number
- 7:47two. And you are puffed up and have not rather mourned that he who
- 7:56has done this deed might be taken away from among you. For I,
- 8:00indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged as
- 8:05though our present Paul says him who has so done this deed, in the
- 8:13name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together along with my
- 8:18spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, deliver such a one
- 8:24to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved
- 8:33in the day of the Lord Jesus. This is what he says for the
- 8:37verse six. Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a
- 8:46little eleven leavens the whole lump. Therefore purge out the old eleven, that
- 8:56you may be a new lump, since you truly are on leaven. For
- 9:01indeed, Christ, our passover was sacrificed for us. Therefore, let us
- 9:11keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice
- 9:18and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Amen.
- 9:28Amen, thank God for the word of Jesus Christ. The Church of Jesus
- 9:31Christ. Amen, is certainly not the place, God help us, God
- 9:39help us. It is not the place for the celebration of sin, particularly
- 9:46when that sin is known openly a man amongst the congregation of the Saints.
- 9:56We are not to be celebrating, Amen. Sin. The Church of Jesus
- 10:03Christ is also, Amen, not the place for a spirit of haughtiness and
- 10:09pride. Again, when there is sin in our midst and in this Corinthian
- 10:16Church, the Apostle Paul have been made aware of this very egregious Amen,
- 10:24transgression, this sin, this iniquity. Amen, it was an act of
- 10:30sexual immorality. Amen. That was Paul said, not even named among the
- 10:35gentiles. Amen. The gentiles being those he was referring to, of course,
- 10:41those who are outside of the church. And it's bad enough if it
- 10:46is outside of the church. Amen. We're gonna go to the Old Testament.
- 10:50I want to read you a few verses from the Old Testament in reference
- 10:56to this sin that this man committed in the church by a man having sexual
- 11:05relations with his father's wife. Amen. And so it was not again,
- 11:13it was not something that was secretive. It was not something that was just
- 11:18between the two of them. And by the way, the Corinthian culture was
- 11:24rife with all kinds of sexual immorality. And so these who were in the
- 11:31church, now, those who had been a man baptizing to Jesus Christ a
- 11:37man, and were a man adherents to the preaching of the apostle Paul and
- 11:43others, a man who came to evangelize the city, a man. They
- 11:48had escaped from that corruption. That's what the Bible teaches. We have escaped
- 11:54from the corruption that is in the world. Amen. And so this sin
- 12:00that was in the camp, as it were, it was open, it
- 12:03was brazen, it was well known. And the people instead of being broken
- 12:09over it, instead of mourning over it, instead of weeping about it,
- 12:13Amen, they were in essence celebrating. They were puffed up, Paul says,
- 12:20Amen, they were proud about it. Amen. This kind of Amen.
- 12:26Again, egregious sin that you know, a man would take his father's
- 12:33wife. Amen. This is what the Bible has to say about this.
- 12:37In the Book of Levitica's Chapter eighteen, verse number eight, the nakedness of
- 12:41thy father's wife, shalt thou not uncover? It is thy father's nakedness.
- 12:50It's just there's a sacred bond. There's a sacred bond. And I'm not
- 13:00gonna go far here with this. But God has made. God is the
- 13:05author of course and the creator, and he made the act of sexual a
- 13:11man intercourse, if you will, between a man and a woman, not
- 13:16only to be enjoyed, but just in the confines of marriage, a marriage
- 13:22relationship where there is commitment between two individuals. And God himself performed the first
- 13:28marriage when he joined Adam and Eve together. And that's why he said in
- 13:35Genesis a man when he from the very beginning the creation of man into this
- 13:41world. Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his
- 13:45wife, and the two become one. There's a special relationship, a special
- 13:50bonding that happens when the marriage, when the man and the woman comes together
- 13:56and the marriage is consummated a man, and for some foreign outside entity or
- 14:03person to come in a man and to break into that or to intrude into
- 14:11that. And in this case, this man had his father's wife, a
- 14:16man his stepmother, if you will, he is literally breaking into that bond.
- 14:24He has broken into that bond. He's broken into that relationship. He's
- 14:28a thief, he's a robber, a man, he's an adulterer, he's
- 14:33a fornicator, he has a violated a man. Not only the law of
- 14:39God, but the trust in a relationship that should be sacred, and it
- 14:43is sacred. And as a matter of fact, this is gonna be a
- 14:46quick example, even before the law I just read from from from the Law
- 14:50of Moses, but even before the law, when you go back into the
- 14:54book of Genesis, and I use my good friend, I got me and
- 14:58Joseph Man, we're gonna have some time when we get to heaven and we
- 15:03all get together. Amen. But Joseph Amen, when he was a slave
- 15:09in Egypt and he was in the house of Potiphar, and Potiphar's wife Amen
- 15:15came after him. Bible says, every day, what did Joseph do?
- 15:18He kept resisting her, And there was an opportunity came when she caught him,
- 15:22and there was no one else around, servants around, anything, and
- 15:26Joseph could have easily succumbed if you will, if he wanted to, if
- 15:28he was carnal, if he was in the flesh. Amen. But he
- 15:33feared God, he had a healthy respect. Now there were no continkermndments,
- 15:37there are no think commandments. But the law of God never forget, is
- 15:41written in our hearts. And Joseph knew that it was evil. And he
- 15:45said, also to this act of adultery, or potential act of adultery,
- 15:50if you will, how can I do this great evil and sin against God?
- 15:58Not only would he been sinning against Potiphar, sinning against his a man
- 16:03trusted relationship as a steward, sinning against Potiphar's wife, also sinning against the
- 16:10whole household. Amen, But he would have also been sinning against God.
- 16:15Amen. This is egregious sin, a man's sexual immorality, especially in adultery,
- 16:22and especially inside of your own household, amongst your own kinfolk. Amen.
- 16:27Leviticus eighteen eleven also says the nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, the
- 16:33God of thy father, she is thy sister. Thou shalt not uncover her
- 16:38nakedness. And then in Leviticus twenty verse eleven, and the man that listened
- 16:44with the Bible says, the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered
- 16:51his father's nakedness. Both of them. Listen, what did law law prescribe
- 16:56for this? Both of them shall shall surely be put to death. Their
- 17:03blood shall be upon them. Now, I mean, all of us ought
- 17:11to be so glad for it. Amen, the fact that we are not
- 17:15under the Old Testament law. How many people could survive in this culture of
- 17:22sexual immorality? Man, it wasn't just that. But again, I'm drawing
- 17:26particular attention to this. A man act of sexual immorality in sleeping, having
- 17:33sexual relations with your father's wife, your step mother, Amen, or vice
- 17:38versa. Amen, your father in law or your step father, or whoever,
- 17:47whatever the relationship is. Look at Deuteronomy. I'm sorry, Deuteronomy.
- 17:51Yeah, Deuteronomy chapter twenty two, verse number thirty. Listen what the Bible
- 17:55says. A man shall not take his father's wife nor discover his father's skirt.
- 18:03Deuteronomy twenty seven and twenty says, curse it be he that lieth with
- 18:08his father's wife, because he has uncovered his father's skirt. And all the
- 18:15people shall say amen. In other words, that God be true and every
- 18:19man a liar. We are to agree with the word of God. Amen.
- 18:23Now the Corinthians, we understand that many of them perhaps may not have
- 18:27been steeped in the Old Testament law of Moses, as it were, which
- 18:33again explicitly for bad this kind of flagrant disregard, Amen, in dishonoring of
- 18:41your father, a man horrormongering with his wife. And even though they may
- 18:47have not been again brought up in the tradition of Moses a man, they
- 18:53may have been ignorant, perhaps of the Old Testament laws. Amen. No
- 18:59one is excuse, ladies and gentlemen, because the law of God, again,
- 19:04as the Bible teachers, is written in our hearts. And Joseph preceded
- 19:11a man in his fear of God and his knowledge and understanding of it being
- 19:15wrong to commit adultery to sleep with another man's wife. He knew that.
- 19:21Amen. This is four hundred plus years before the law. Amen. And
- 19:26so Amen, the law of God has written in our hearts. And whether
- 19:29the Corinthian Church was again familiar with the Law of Moses or not, the
- 19:33law of God is written in our hearts, and we know what it's right,
- 19:38and we know what is wrong? Amen, I mean, do you
- 19:44have another instance in the Book of Genesis, by the way, where a
- 19:47man actually Grouben by name, the eldest son of Jacob. Amen, he
- 19:53went into Jacob's tenth with where I assume it's Bacob's tent, but Jacob's concubine
- 20:03Bill haw Reuben. A man had sexual relations with his father's concubine, which
- 20:10was considered a wife. Amen. And and and because of it, of
- 20:15course, he was dishonored, and he did not receive the inheritance as the
- 20:21eldest sons a man place is in the birthright order, and and and uh
- 20:29again. It is an egregious sin. And once the Law of God was
- 20:33given a man to the nation of Israel, it was punishable by death.
- 20:38Amen. And and this sin that was happening in the Corinthian Church was widely
- 20:45known a man. And again, instead of being grieved about it, instead
- 20:49of mourning about it, Amen, uh uh. And by the way,
- 20:56we grieve the Holy Spirit anytime we and anytime we transgress the law of God,
- 21:03God is grieved, the Holy Spirit is grieved. Amen. The Bible
- 21:08tells us to grieve not the Holy Spirit, by which we are sealed until
- 21:12the day of redemption. And then instead of of you know, the church
- 21:18at Corinth being grieved over this and then grieving with the Holy Spirit again Amen,
- 21:26they were actually puffed up and unashamed Amen about this Amen, Sin.
- 21:33Amen. And they should have, as the Apostle Paul warns them, here,
- 21:41should have been mourning about it. I mean, they should have been
- 21:45weeping about it. It should have been saddened and broken about this kind of
- 21:49a man conduct. And there, of course we should know this and understand
- 21:56this. There are potential a man consequences, contamination that could inevitably come like
- 22:10a plague. Really, and in fact, the whole of the congregation,
- 22:15the whole of a church, when we have a spirit of complacency again,
- 22:22a disregard uh, no fear of God, no grieving, no sadness,
- 22:30no brokenness, no repentance about sin. Amen, and and and and and
- 22:37again. The Holy Spirit is not to be grieved Amen, with our rebellion.
- 22:41Amen. And and lack of repentance, lack of remorse, the Lord
- 22:48says, a broken heart in the contry spirit, I want to know why,
- 22:51by the way we all sin and fall short of the glory of God.
- 22:52But listen, we are to run amen to the amen throne of grace.
- 22:59Come boldly Amen. And the Bible says, we have not a high
- 23:02priest that cannot be touched with the feelings of our feelings, of our infirmities.
- 23:06But he was in all points tempted, just like we are, yet
- 23:10without sin. And so amen. When we sin, the Bible says,
- 23:14we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous, who
- 23:18is faithful and just, to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us
- 23:22from our amen unrighteousness, all unrighteousness. The Bible says, all unrighteousness is
- 23:27sin. By the way, and when Jesus a man interacted with several individuals
- 23:33in the course of his ministry, as you can see in the Gospels,
- 23:38on several occasions he would command these people, for those of you who,
- 23:45by the way would like to a man abuse the grace of God, Jesus
- 23:52a man, when these people would be made whole, for example, he
- 23:55would say to them, go and sin no more. The woman that was
- 23:59brought was calling an adultery. Jesus said to this woman, go and sin
- 24:03no more. People who were healed of infirmities Jesus will say to them,
- 24:07go and sin no more. Amen. So we're not to be practicing sin.
- 24:14The church is not to be caught up in sin and unrighteousness. Amen.
- 24:18And this is again something that was happening in this Corinthian church. And
- 24:22they should have been mourning about it, they should have been grieved about it.
- 24:26But again instead Amen, they were puffed up. Paul says, Amen,
- 24:32and please understand, of being, the Holy Spirit is here to help
- 24:37us. He's here to correct us. He is here to amen, lead
- 24:41us, and to guide us. Amen, compassionately. Amen, gently Amen.
- 24:48Anytime we wander away, Amen, from the path of righteousness, that
- 24:52God has a man set for us, a man to walk in. Glorying
- 24:59in sin is not good. Oh no, no, no, this was
- 25:02not a good thing. This is what Paul said to the church. Your
- 25:03glorying is not good. Amen. So the Bible tells us by the way,
- 25:10Amen, that right here in this in this text that I read,
- 25:14Paul says, don't you understand that a little leaven, Amen, leaven is
- 25:18like yeast that was added to me. You don't need a lot of leaven.
- 25:22You don't need a lot of it yeast to make the bread rise,
- 25:25Amen, to infect the whole batch of dough. You only need a little
- 25:30bit. And the same thing when it comes to poison, for example,
- 25:33you don't need a lot of poison to kill you know, certain things or
- 25:38people for that battery, a little bit of poison. Uh. Depending on
- 25:44how lethal it is, it could be a very small amount of a poison
- 25:51that can kill a person, a man, that can contaminate them. Amen,
- 25:55that can destroy and reakhabit if it doesn't kill them. And this is
- 25:59what this is the case here, This is leaven. Paul compares it to
- 26:03a little leavin. Uh, will will will, will, leavin the whole
- 26:07lump. Amen. That's that's all this needed, That's all that's necessary.
- 26:11We are to, as he says, purge it out. This man,
- 26:17Paul says, is to be delivered over to Satan for the destruction of his
- 26:21flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.
- 26:25Amen. We are, as the Bible says, to crucify the flesh.
- 26:29Amen, mortify the deeds of the body. Put off the old man,
- 26:33put on the new man. Amen. Walk in the spirit, the
- 26:36Bible tells us, And we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh,
- 26:38the lust of the flesh, the desires of the mind, of the body,
- 26:42of the you know, the carnal man, the old man. No,
- 26:47put them to death. Amen. The devil and the demons Amen.
- 26:52Uh, they're never content with just a little bit of compromising. That's all.
- 26:56He wants, that little bit of leeway, that little opening, that
- 27:00little amen levin, Amen, that little crack, if you will, in
- 27:03the door. Amen. They're not. You don't ever think that the devil
- 27:07is content. Amen. He's never content with just a little bit of compromise.
- 27:15Because the devil demons they seek total control. Amen, because they know
- 27:21that what's going to lead to. But eventually it's going to lead to the
- 27:23floodgates man open and destruction. Amen, death and damnation. That's what's happening.
- 27:33That's what's going to happen. The Bible says the wages of sin is
- 27:36death, but the gift of God is eternal life. So let's listen,
- 27:40ladies and gentlemen, Church of Living God. The flesh has to be crucified,
- 27:44the old man has to be mortified, put to death, amen.
- 27:48The old man has to be put off, put away. Amen. All
- 27:51of those deeds of the flesh, all of the old Amen, things that
- 27:56we did while we were in the world of the world, we're no longer
- 27:59in and of the world. Amen. If any man be in Christ,
- 28:02the Bible says he's a new creation. The old things have passed away,
- 28:06and behold, all things become new. If you remember, even in the
- 28:08Old Testament, Amen. And again when you're talking about just a little bit
- 28:12of sin, a little bit of compromise, the man aching in the Old
- 28:18Testament, he didn't. He didn't he didn't take of all the spoil Amen,
- 28:22from the battle. He didn't take everything. He just took a little
- 28:25bit. And he just said, I just saw a little bit of gold,
- 28:27little, this little garment, Uh, this couple of little trinkets here
- 28:32and there. I just I just I coveted them, and I wanted them,
- 28:36and I just I took the That just took a little bit, Joshua,
- 28:38Wait, it won much and that's all it takes. And you know
- 28:41what happened. Of course, if you know the story, Amen, you
- 28:44can look at look it up in the Old Testament. Amen, aching a
- 28:47c h a n Amen. He brought Amen uh uh sin into the camp
- 28:53by one man's actions. One person, Amen, one person that's caused death
- 29:00and destruction for the whole camp. I mean not all the people died,
- 29:06of course, but again there were some who were defeated that when they went
- 29:10up against the Ai, a little small city, they should have easily defeated.
- 29:12I mean, this is how it was all discovered and uncovered. Amen,
- 29:17they would defeated in battle. Amen. And and and the man ended
- 29:21up, of course, losing his life, his family. Man, this
- 29:23is this is Listen. Don't think that your sin is in isolation. I
- 29:27don't care if nobody knows it but you and God. Of course the devil
- 29:32knows it. But it's not in isolation. None of our sins are Amen.
- 29:36One person sinning in the body of Christ. I don't care where they
- 29:41are. I don't care. I mean, I'm talking about people who are
- 29:42truly in the body of Christ. When we sin, Amen, we bring
- 29:48damage to the whole body. We bring, you know, a judgment potentially
- 29:56upon the whole body. And so this is why Paul says to them,
- 30:00Man, this is not good that you are glorying in this. Amen.
- 30:03You need to leaven out. Take out, put out, Amen, destroyed,
- 30:08put away that leaven because it's going to poison, it's going to infect
- 30:14the whole congregation. And you can see other instances in the Bible where people,
- 30:18individuals, persons were judged in order to amen preserve the whole. And
- 30:23this is what happened in even the Book of Acts in the New Testament.
- 30:26You go to the New Testament, man, you remember anonizing Saphara. A
- 30:30man came Amen after the people where everybody was, you know, selling their
- 30:36goods and houses and land and so forth and so on. They came Amen
- 30:40with a false on the false pretenses, Amen, to try to amen,
- 30:47make themselves look as though, Amen, they had sold the land and was
- 30:52bringing all of the proceeds Amen to the apostles. Amen. And it wasn't
- 30:59Listen, it wasn't a out because Peter made that very plain, made that
- 31:02very clear. It wasn't about the amount of money or what you know,
- 31:07how much they sold the land for. It wasn't about that. It was
- 31:10about the simple fact that they lied to the Holy Ghost. And that's what
- 31:14Peter said. You've not lied to us, you've lied. You're not lied
- 31:17to men, You've lied to the Holy Ghost. Amen. And so Amen
- 31:22again. It can affect the whole body when we allow sin, Amen,
- 31:29to a man creep into the church and we don't have uh, we you
- 31:33know, we don't have any any regard. We don't care about it.
- 31:34We just you know, it was a whole harm. We don't have a
- 31:37healthy reverence a man again for the sacrifice that Jesus made on all be had.
- 31:44He died because of sin, for sin to deliver us from sin.
- 31:49Amen. And and sin is a spiritual contagion. Amen. It was spread
- 31:55like a plague. And again Bible makes a clear wages of sin is death,
- 32:00but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, Our Lord,
- 32:06listen, I believe with all of my heart, fervently that it is
- 32:09morning time for the church. It is time for us to weep. It
- 32:14is time for us to be broken over sin in our hearts, in our
- 32:17own lives. Amen, and not just pointing a finger at others. Amen.
- 32:22Lord, Let it begin with me, in me, purge me,
- 32:27clean, cleans me, creating me, as David said, a clean heart
- 32:30of renewing in me the right spirit. Amen. We are not to get
- 32:35comfortable with sin. Amen. We're not to get complacent, Amen, with
- 32:40sin. The Bible tells us to be vigilant, to be sober, because
- 32:44our adversary, who is the devil, is going about. And by the
- 32:49way, do you know he accuses you before God anytime, every time,
- 32:52even when you haven't sinned, he's still the accuser of the brethren. But
- 32:58if we sin, this is why that we come boldly to the throne of
- 33:01Grace. You need to beat the devil there because he's there to accuse you
- 33:05before Amen, the throne of God. So be vigilant, be sober.
- 33:08Understand that the adversary, he's always looking for an opening Amen. And a
- 33:15little living Amen. Just a little bit, a little bit of poison,
- 33:17a little bit of compromise, and the floodgates become open. Amen. So
- 33:22we need to be on guard always. Amen. And as Jesus told his
- 33:27disciples, watch and pray lest you enter into temptation. The spirit, indeed
- 33:32is willing, but the flesh is weak. It is morning time. It
- 33:38is time for us to be mourning. It is time for us to be
- 33:42broken. It is time for us to be repentant. Amen. It's morning
- 33:46time. When we've lost our first love, Church, it's morning time.
- 33:50It's time for us to weep. Amen, it's morning time when we are
- 33:54falling in love with the things of this world. When we love the world.
- 33:59Amen, all less in the world, the loss of the flesh and
- 34:00lust are the eyes and the pride of life. God says, no,
- 34:05it's morning time. Amen. Uh. When cardinality gods our decisions, it's
- 34:10morning time. Amen. So Church, please, Amen, let's let's let's
- 34:17let's have a fear of God, of healthy respect. Amen. For what
- 34:22Jesus came and suffered for. That's why he praised so fervently in the garden.
- 34:28Lord. He said, Father, if it's if it's possible, let
- 34:30this cup pass. Nevertheless, not my will, but done. He knew
- 34:37that at that moment. That's why he says, Father again, let this
- 34:49cup pass. Because at that moment he knew he who knew no sin,
- 34:59that's Jesus, the Righteous One, the Holy One, the son of the
- 35:02Living God, God incarnate in flesh. He knew that at that moment when
- 35:09the sun refused to shine, when God turned his face and he said,
- 35:15why have you forsaken me? He who knew no sin. Now, listen,
- 35:20ladies, gentlemen, please Church, understand this. Jesus did not only
- 35:23die for our sins. Jesus does not only forgive our sins and cast them
- 35:29on. Listen, the Bible says, he took on our sins. He
- 35:34who knew no sin became sin. At that moment. He became the worst
- 35:40and most vile sinner in all of the history of the world of creation,
- 35:50in that he took on all of our sins and transgressions. And God not
- 35:57even look upon the vileness, the filth. And are we the Church,
- 36:06we the Church of the Living God, going to disdain that we're going to
- 36:12trample on the blood of Christ, the offering, the sacrifice that He did
- 36:17for us. We're gonna esteem it lightly. No, no contral, No
- 36:24contral. So Father, will you just help us today? God, open
- 36:30eyes and ears and hearts, and let there be brokenness, Let there be
- 36:34weeping, Let there be repentance, Let there be contrition. Let there be
- 36:38mourning in the congregation of the saints. Lord, the preachers, the ministers,
- 36:45weeping between the porch and the altar. So that the glory of the
- 36:50Lord, the light of Heaven, Amen, the refreshing, the times of
- 36:53refreshing will come from you, Oh God, and revival. A man will
- 36:58spring up in the midst of your people. Be thou glorified, And all
- 37:01that we say and do order our steps, and you, oh Lord,
- 37:05our strength and our redeemer, in Jesus Name, we pray it thanks for
- 37:08all things. Amen and amen, all right, God bless you in Jesus name,
