- 1:19word. Father, we build our lives upon
- 1:23it, God, and we stand upon it. Lord, I pray that we are not

- 1:47representatives from all nations and all people groups.
- 1:52God, gathered together singing. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God
- 2:00Almighty who was, who is and is to come.
- 2:04Lord, we worship you in spirit and truth today.
- 2:10Holy Spirit, fill us and teach us, guide us and convict us.
- 2:15I decrease as you increase. It's all about you.
- 2:19Yeshua, we love you. Heal us, heal our broken bodies,
- 2:24heal our marriages. God, bring the prodigals home.

- 3:06Father I pray in the name of Jesus for skin conditions to
- 3:11clear up. Father I pray in the name of
- 3:13Jesus for epilepsy to leave. In the name of Jesus Christ go.
- 3:21You have no place here. Every unclean, foul spirit cast
- 3:25into the judgment that God Almighty, you have a waiting for
- 3:30all of the wicked and demonic. God, in the name of Jesus, let
- 3:33us tread upon all the heads of the snakes.
- 3:38God, I pray in the name of Jesus that you will help us to be more
- 3:41than conquerors. God, we lift up the shield of
- 3:44faith up over our heads. God, we rightly divide the word
- 3:49of God today. Lord, I pray for sound doctrine
- 3:53and sound theology today. God, I pray for a supernatural
- 3:57filling, a super supernatural empowerment today.
- 4:01God Almighty, for your glory, for your name's sake, for you,
- 4:05Father God, for you are everything.
- 4:08You are El Shaddai Elian, the Most High God.
- 4:12You are the one who sees. You are our banner.
- 4:16You are our healer and our provider.
- 4:19You are the great I am. And Lord, we just want to know
- 4:28you. We want to sense that you're in
- 4:33the room moving mightily. Show up and show off today in
- 4:37the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.
- 4:45Well, let's start in verse one. Finally, my brothers, rejoice in
- 4:52the Lord. To write the same things to you,
- 4:57to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
- 5:01Paul saying I want to keep you safe from those that are trying
- 5:05to infiltrate the camp and you're going to do it by being
- 5:09joyful in the Lord. Do not fall back into all of the
- 5:13negativity. Do not fall back into all the
- 5:17backbiting. Do not fall back into slander
- 5:20and gossip. Do not fall back into the
- 5:23critical spirit, which is a sure sign of a backslidden Christian.
- 5:27He's telling them to remain joyful in the Lord, remain
- 5:32positive. And you know, this is a choice,
- 5:35friends. We do not have to succumb to all
- 5:38the cares and the snares and the woes, all the pitfalls of this
- 5:43world. Get off of all the secular
- 5:45garbage that's trying to steal your joy away.
- 5:49Get off of all of the financial security that tells you that
- 5:54that's how you're going to be happy.
- 5:56I want you to know, friends, today is the day that the Lord
- 6:00has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in
- 6:02it. Let today be enough.
- 6:07Do not worry about tomorrow and do not be stuck in yesterday,
- 6:13but today, friends, this is the day of salvation.
- 6:18Be joyful in the Lord knowing that He's fighting your battles
- 6:21and He's supernaturally empowering you and you are more
- 6:24than a conqueror. Friends, verse 2 beware of dogs,
- 6:31beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
- 6:36What's he talking about here? These dogs were the legalizers,
- 6:40the Judaizers. These were the ones that were
- 6:42coming in and trying to attach all of the things of the Mosaic
- 6:47law onto the Christians and they were trying to strip them of
- 6:51their liberties, friends. And that is who he's talking
- 6:54about. He said that he wishes they
- 6:56would just go all the way, not just to circumcise themselves
- 7:01but to castrate themselves. And that is what he is talking
- 7:04about with this concision here. It's a cutting off friends.
- 7:08And he's saying beware of those that are weaseling their way
- 7:11into the camp and they're trying to tell you that it's the Bible
- 7:15plus something else. Far be it from us to fall for
- 7:20these traps and this deception that the enemy does not want us
- 7:25living in the freedom and in the liberty that Christ won for us
- 7:30on the cross. They want to act like it's not
- 7:33enough just to be in dwelled with the Holy Spirit and have a
- 7:37personal relationship with God Almighty through His Son Jesus
- 7:42Christ. They said that it's that plus
- 7:46another publication, that plus something else.
- 7:50And far be it from us to ever fall for those cultic, evil,
- 7:55ravenous wolves in sheep's clothing. 3-4 We are the
- 8:00circumcision which worship God in spirit and rejoice in Christ
- 8:06Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh.
- 8:09Paul is so bold as to tell us that it is the circumcision of
- 8:14the heart that God is after. It's not the foreskin, friends.
- 8:18And that is what is referenced here.
- 8:20He's saying that God is well pleased with those who worship
- 8:24Him in spirit and truth. And we need not wait on another
- 8:28that Jesus Christ is the Messiah and we place all confidence in
- 8:33Him, all of our faith in Him. And it is grace through faith,
- 8:39friends, that we are after. And what is he talking about
- 8:42here? We have no confidence in the
- 8:46flesh. There is nothing that we do and
- 8:49it is everything that he did. That is when you move out of the
- 8:54legalizing, that is whenever you move out of the fundamental
- 8:59approach to God, when you think that you can please God by doing
- 9:03more and more and more and more for him.
- 9:06And it is actually counterintuitive.
- 9:09Friends, you need to understand. It's whenever you finally get to
- 9:13see Jesus Christ and what He did for you, you will finally
- 9:17understand that everything we do beyond that point is a
- 9:22reasonable service. Everything that we do beyond
- 9:27that point is what we ought to do, friends.
- 9:30And we get to do it and we want to do it and we love to do it,
- 9:34but we do not have to do it. And that is the difference
- 9:37there, friends, don't forget it. For though I might also have
- 9:42confidence in the flesh, if any other man thinks that he has
- 9:46where of he might trust in the flesh, I more Paul's going to go
- 9:50here on a tangent and he's going to regress and digress here.
- 9:55And he's going to tell all of the listeners in the book of
- 10:00Philippians who will ever read this, all of those at the Church
- 10:05of Philippi at the time that of this writing.
- 10:08And he's going to give them his pedigree, and he's going to show
- 10:11them that he was a Hebrew of the Hebrews, a Pharisee of the
- 10:15Pharisees, scrupulous to the last letter.
- 10:19And he's saying that if anybody thinks that they can outdo him
- 10:23in the law, they could not. Paul was zealous and he
- 10:27persecuted the church. And he's going to tell us all of
- 10:31the things that he used to trust in before he got wrecked on the
- 10:36road to Damascus. When Jesus came and got a hold
- 10:42of him and told him it was hard for him to kick against the
- 10:45goads. Let's see what Paul used to do.
- 10:48He says circumcised on the 8th day.
- 10:51He was the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin.
- 10:55He was a Hebrew of the Hebrews and as touching the law, he was
- 10:59a Pharisee. So you could not get any higher
- 11:02than Paul's pedigree. He was the absolute epitome.
- 11:07He was the very top tier of all of those who followed the law. 6
- 11:17Concerning zeal, he persecuted the church, touching
- 11:22righteousness, which is in the law.
- 11:25He was blameless. None of us could say that we are
- 11:28blameless. None of us could say that we
- 11:30have upheld the law to the last letter.
- 11:34And this is very similar to the rich young ruler when Christ
- 11:39told him all the things that he must do to inherit eternal life.
- 11:43And he was so excited because he said all these things I have
- 11:46done since my youth. But I want you to know friends,
- 11:50every single human being on planet earth that has ever been
- 11:54born, is living, or will be born is guilty of sin.
- 12:00There is no one righteous. No not one.
- 12:04All of our righteousness is filthy rags before the
- 12:08perfection of Jesus Christ. He is the only one who has ever
- 12:13lived a perfect life and He is the only one that can make us at
- 12:18one with God the Father. And Paul understood that once he
- 12:22got wrecked on the road to Damascus. 7 But what things were
- 12:30gained to me, those I counted lost for Christ.
- 12:34That is what you need to understand is when you see all
- 12:37of your righteousness as filthy rags, and there is none good,
- 12:40no, not one. When you finally understand the
- 12:44chasm between your sinfulness and God's holiness, you will
- 12:48finally understand your need for the cross of Christ.
- 12:52And Paul here saying, he went back and he looked at all of the
- 12:56ways of his life and he saw that he was still wanting.
- 13:00He looked at all the things he used to do, and he saw that in
- 13:05relation to Jesus Christ and the perfection and the holiness of
- 13:10Yeshua, he was still lacking. Eight.
- 13:19Yeah, doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the
- 13:23Excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I
- 13:29have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but
- 13:33dung, that I may win Christ. That is what you need to
- 13:37understand. This whole earth, this whole
- 13:39life, everything. What does it profit a man to
- 13:42gain the whole world but to lose his soul?
- 13:44And Paul has counted the cost, and he has saw that there is
- 13:47nothing better, nothing greater. There is no higher calling than
- 13:53to follow the Lord Jesus Christ and to have the mind of Christ
- 13:57and to be indwelled with the triune nature of Yahweh,
- 14:02everlasting from everlasting to glory to glory.
- 14:05Friends, there is nothing higher, there is nothing better,
- 14:09there is nothing sweeter than to know Him and to be known by Him.
- 14:13He's saying everything else that He's ever done is nothing but
- 14:17filthy rags. It is dung and excrement in
- 14:21relation and in comparison to the glorious riches of God
- 14:26Almighty. And what is available to us when
- 14:28we come to Him honestly. When we empty ourselves of
- 14:32ourselves. When we empty ourselves of this
- 14:34world and the cares of this world and all the greed and all
- 14:38the malice and all the anger and all the deceitfulness, all the
- 14:42wrath and violence. When we let go of the
- 14:47unforgiveness and disbelief. When we finally come to the Lord
- 14:52Jesus Christ and realize that our way is not working and that
- 14:57we desperately need Him, then he is well pleased to fill us with
- 15:02the Holy Ghost and to mark us with goodness and grace and
- 15:06mercy and love and joy, abounding friends.
- 15:09And we give that out liberally. We have received freely and we
- 15:13give freely. And Paul here has counted the
- 15:16cost, and he has seen that there is nothing better than following
- 15:20after Jesus Christ as Lord and Master and Boss.
- 15:27He is our everything, and there is nothing in this world that
- 15:31can compare to knowing Him and being known by Him.
- 15:35Nine and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness,
- 15:39which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of
- 15:43Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.
- 15:49It is grace through faith, friends, and that is what you
- 15:51need to understand. You have to get clothed in the
- 15:55righteousness of Jesus Christ so that you can gird up your loins
- 15:59and to stand in His presence. Friends, God Almighty is going
- 16:04to look upon you and you need to know that you know that you know
- 16:08that you know that it is nothing that you have done.
- 16:11There is no merit, there is no good, there is no deed that you
- 16:15have ever done. And it is everything that Jesus
- 16:19Christ did for you that gets you into the right standing with God
- 16:23Almighty. And Paul here is showing us, and
- 16:26he's painting that picture for us, and he's saying that he
- 16:29could never have attained salvation, that it was only
- 16:33through the perfect life of Jesus Christ that he is going to
- 16:37stand before Almighty God. 10 that I may know him, and the
- 16:45power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his suffering
- 16:50being made conformable unto his death.
- 16:54Paul has already told us to live as Christ and to die as gain.
- 16:58And here this is a great precursor, friends, to how we
- 17:02should live our lives. We do not need to have the fear
- 17:05of man. We do not need to fear those
- 17:07that can kill the body. We do not need to fear
- 17:10persecution. We do not need to choose this
- 17:13life over the life that God has for us.
- 17:16We do not need to worry about tomorrow.
- 17:19We need to follow Him to the ends of the earth, wherever He
- 17:23leads us, no matter what it is that He has called us to.
- 17:27And there is no greater love than for a man to lay down his
- 17:31life for his friends. And that is what you need to
- 17:34understand. We are all called to die to
- 17:36self. Take up your cross daily and
- 17:40follow Him. And Paul here has understood
- 17:43that, and he has counted the cost, and he has seen that
- 17:46there's nothing better than to follow after Jesus Christ even
- 17:51unto death. And we have the same
- 17:55resurrection power living inside of us that raised Jesus Christ
- 18:00from the dead. And we will be raised to life,
- 18:03and we will receive immortal, eternal bodies, friends that do
- 18:10not corrupt. When we take off this earthly
- 18:13tent, we will put on the incorruptible, friends, if we
- 18:18will follow after him and not lose heart and not become
- 18:22apostate, not fall away and not turn our backs and not renounce
- 18:27God Almighty. In the hard times, we need to
- 18:30not receive the mark, friends. We do not need to receive the
- 18:34mark of the beast, friends. When it comes, we need to resist
- 18:38and we need to know that God Almighty is sufficient even unto
- 18:43death. 11 if by any means I might attain to the resurrection
- 18:52of the dead. So that is what you need to
- 18:54understand that the moment that you gave your life to the Lord
- 18:58Jesus Christ, He gave you a down payment and a deposit of the
- 19:01Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit is the third
- 19:07person in the Trinity of God, and He dwells inside of you,
- 19:11believer. And there is still so much good
- 19:14in this world as long as the Holy Spirit is still here on
- 19:17this earth. But in the rapture we will be
- 19:20taken up into the clouds to meet him in the air and to be with
- 19:24him forever more. And the Holy Spirit will go up
- 19:28and the world will be left in chaos and it will be hell on
- 19:32earth for seven years, friends. But as long as we are here in
- 19:36the the Holy Ghost is in US and living in us, we have the
- 19:40resurrection power and there's still much good and there's
- 19:43still much work to do on this earth.
- 19:46Friends, we need to go out and we need to be found in the
- 19:49harvest. Putting our hand to the plow and
- 19:52not looking left or right, but locking eyes with him and
- 19:55refusing to live distracted. 12 Not as though I had already
- 20:02attained either. We're already perfect, but I
- 20:05follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I
- 20:10am apprehended of Christ Jesus. So Paul's saying he has not
- 20:15arrived. There's still much work to do.
- 20:18This beautiful word of sanctification, of being made
- 20:21more like Jesus Christ every single day, friends, and that is
- 20:25what you need to understand is that as long as you are living.
- 20:29He is refining you. He is pulling out the impurities
- 20:34and the dross, friends, and He knows exactly how long to leave
- 20:38you in the fire before you crack and melt, But He knows how to
- 20:43pull you out and to hammer on you and to fashion you into His
- 20:48likeness, and also for you to mirror him and for you to
- 20:53resemble the Lord Jesus Christ. This process.
- 20:57And it never feels good in the moment, but it produces the
- 21:00character, It produces the perseverance, It produces the
- 21:05life that he is after, friends. And we yield to him, and we
- 21:10bend, and we are malleable for him, friends, knowing that all
- 21:14of the things that we're going through in this life are not
- 21:18lost on him. And he's using every single bit
- 21:21of it, friends, for our good. And he's working it all out for
- 21:26those who are called according to his purposes.
- 21:31And Paul knows that he has not arrived and there's still much
- 21:35work to do in his life, and God will take him out when he's
- 21:39ready. But until then He is
- 21:41bulletproof. 13 brothers, I count not myself to have
- 21:47apprehended, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things
- 21:51which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which
- 21:55are before. That is what you need to
- 21:57understand that we do not need to be stuck in the past were not
- 22:02defined by our past. When you came to the Lord Jesus
- 22:06Christ, you became a new creation.
- 22:09All the old things have passed away.
- 22:11You're not bound by those things.
- 22:13Don't live in a sea of regret. Don't live in the past.
- 22:18Don't glory in the good old days.
- 22:22Friends, you need to lock eyes with the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 22:26Live on fire for Him. Friends, live the abundant life.
- 22:31Friends, do not be stuck in the past.
- 22:33Friends, you're not defined by all of those things that you
- 22:36once did. They are all under the blood of
- 22:39Jesus Christ and they are all forgiven.
- 22:42When you came to the Lord Jesus Christ and you became covered in
- 22:45the blood of Jesus Christ, He forgave you for every single sin
- 22:50that you have ever done. Friends, and we do not let the
- 22:54enemy come and accuse us of our past and remind us of our past.
- 22:59We are not those same people. We are a new creation in Christ
- 23:04Jesus. 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high
- 23:11calling of God in Christ Jesus. That is what we push for.
- 23:17That is what we press for. That is, our sole desire is to
- 23:22see him face to face and to be known by Him, and to put our
- 23:28hand in His, put our fingers in His hand, and to put our hand in
- 23:33His side, Friends, we desire to see his hair like wool and eyes
- 23:38like fire, friends. And we love the Lord Jesus
- 23:41Christ and He is the prize. The prize is not the street of
- 23:45gold. The prize is not the mansions,
- 23:49friends. The prize is not the river of
- 23:52life and the trees of life that give off new fruit every season.
- 23:57The prize is Jesus Christ. There's no light there, and
- 24:00there is no temple there because He is there and He is enough.
- 24:05The train of His robe fills the temple and we cry out holy,
- 24:09holy, holy, and we kiss his feet, and we wipe His feet with
- 24:15our hair and the tears. We anoint Him with friends.
- 24:20He is our everything. Yeshua the Hamasia 15 Let us
- 24:24therefore as many as be perfect. Be thus minded, and if anything,
- 24:29you be otherwise minded. God shall reveal even this unto
- 24:35you. So He's telling them to have
- 24:37unity in the community. Do not let that wily old devil
- 24:42come in and start sowing seeds of discord and trying to cause
- 24:47division, Friends, that is not from God.
- 24:50Where the Spirit of God is. There is freedom, friends, and
- 24:53there is unity. 16 Nevertheless, where to we have already
- 25:00attained? Let us walk by the same rule.
- 25:02Let us mind the same thing He's saying, Have one mind, it is one
- 25:07spirit and have one accord, and it is Christ Jesus, friends, and
- 25:12he is the one who blends all these different walks of life
- 25:17together. We have the same inheritance,
- 25:20friends, in Christ Jesus, and we do not need.
- 25:24We need to let all of our earthly disputes cause wedges
- 25:29between brothers and sisters. Far be it from us to be so
- 25:34childish and so immature that we allow all of these earthly
- 25:39differences to cause us to live separated.
- 25:42God has called us to Koinonia. He has called us to one another,
- 25:47one another friends and to have the communion and to be able to
- 25:51get along with each other. 17 brothers be followers together
- 26:00of me and mark them which walk so as you have us for an
- 26:07example, are you living a life that is an example worthy of
- 26:12someone following. Paul wrote this in a time when
- 26:15the printing press had not yet been invented.
- 26:18There was no way to send digital copies of things either.
- 26:22And so Paul said, look at me, follow me as I follow Christ.
- 26:27And he's saying, watch and look for those who are also doing the
- 26:31same. And here you need to understand
- 26:35that this is a grave responsibility for every single
- 26:39person who calls themself a Christian.
- 26:42The world is watching. And what kind of example are you
- 26:46for them? And I want you to understand
- 26:49that the devil cannot pluck you out of God's hand, but he sure
- 26:53can get you to make a mess out of your testimony so that you
- 26:58are no good and your witness to those around you, which is the
- 27:04devil's plan. He wants you even though he
- 27:08knows that he can't snatch you out of God's hand.
- 27:12He wants you to make a mess out of your life so that when you go
- 27:15and try to talk to somebody about God, they sneer and they
- 27:18laugh and they joke because your life is in shambles.
- 27:23And that is why it is a high calling for us to behave in a
- 27:29way that is becoming of a St. We do not need to be liars and
- 27:34thieves. We do not need to be those that
- 27:37are adulterers and womanizers. We do not need to be those that
- 27:41are steeped in Pagan idolatry. We do not need to be those that
- 27:45are steeped in perversity friends.
- 27:48We do not need to be those that are self seeking and prideful.
- 27:52We need to be the those that have the mind of Christ, and we
- 27:55need to be humble and meek, friends.
- 27:58We need to make sure that we have humility friends. 18 For
- 28:05many walk, of whom I have told you often, and I now tell you,
- 28:10even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ.
- 28:1619 Whose end is the destruction, whose God is their belly, and
- 28:21whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things?
- 28:27You need to understand that Paul goes to the other side of the
- 28:31coin. He started this chapter talking
- 28:34about the legalizers, the Judaizers, the fundamentalist
- 28:38friends. And here he ends the chapter
- 28:43talking about those who use their grace as a means to
- 28:50liberality and liberalism. And they abuse grace and they
- 28:54use it as a license to sin, knowing that everything is under
- 28:58the blood of Jesus Christ. They sin all the more so that
- 29:01grace can abound and God forbid for people to live lives that
- 29:07make a mockery out of the grace of Jesus Christ.
- 29:11And they put them up to public spectacle again and again and
- 29:15again, friends. And all they think in them
- 29:19selves is that if they ask for forgiveness, it will be
- 29:22forgiven. And so they just keep doing the
- 29:25exact same sins and they feel no conviction.
- 29:28And they've seared their consciences, friends.
- 29:31And that is who Paul is weeping about.
- 29:34Here he is with tears. He's crying about those who do
- 29:38not see that their lives should be different.
- 29:42Their lives should not look like the rest of the world.
- 29:45We do not need to just try to blend in friends and be so
- 29:51earthly minded that we're no heavenly good friends.
- 29:54That is such a fault for believers is they think because
- 30:00of what Jesus did, they can just do anything that they want to
- 30:03do. And that is a sure sign of
- 30:05somebody who is not indwelled with the Holy Spirit, because
- 30:09the Holy Spirit will speak to you in that still small voice
- 30:13and He will convict you every single time.
- 30:15And we do not need to grieve the Holy Spirit, and we do not need
- 30:20to sear our consciences so that we're no longer hearing from the
- 30:24Holy Ghost. He tells them that their end is
- 30:28destruction. He tells them that their belly
- 30:31is their God. How many people are so carnal
- 30:40and so fleshy and so earthy that all they care about is the
- 30:47pleasures of this world? Lovers of pleasure, lovers of
- 30:52self, and Paul here warns US against such people and tells us
- 30:59not to be this way. It is to their shame, and all
- 31:07they care about is earthly things, and we need to set our
- 31:11minds on heavenly things. 24 Our conversation is in heaven, from
- 31:19where also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 31:24Look up and see that your redemption is drawing near and
- 31:27His rewards are with Him. Friends 21 will end here.
- 31:33Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like
- 31:39unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby
- 31:43He is able even to subdue all things To Himself?
- 31:49There is nothing unreachable for Christ Jesus.
- 31:54He created everything out of the breath of His mouth, Friends,
- 31:59all of the molecular level, on the cellular level, all the
- 32:03airwaves and every planet above us and all the creatures beneath
- 32:07us, The Mariana Trench in the core of the center of this
- 32:11earth. Every single thing is accessible
- 32:16to Christ Jesus and He can do anything.
- 32:19Friends, let's not lose faith. We increase our faith knowing
- 32:24that we serve a God who is limitless in all of His
- 32:29attributes, in every single thing that He told you was going
- 32:34to happen is exactly the way that it's going to happen,
- 32:37friends. And we rest on all the promises
- 32:40contained in God's Word. We do not become so debased and
- 32:47vile in our futile attempts to be self seeking and to amass for
- 32:54ourselves security and wealth. And we do not worry the way that
- 32:59the world does. And we do not try to hold on to
- 33:02this life because we will lose it.
- 33:04And what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, but to
- 33:07lose his soul? I hope that you've been blessed
- 33:11by this amazing chapter in God's Word.
- 33:13I know, I sure have. Get ready, stay ready.
- 33:30We serve a risen Lord, and the same power that raised him from
- 33:38the dead lives in you and lives in me.
- 33:41Believer, let's not grow weary of doing good, for in a due
- 33:51season we will reap a harvest. I love you, God loves you, God
- 34:06bless you. I'm praying for you.
- 34:10We'll see you back here tomorrow.
