- 2:55Speaker 2: for Jesus. We thank you for the power that was
- 3:04Speaker 2: exerted when you raise Jesus from the dead. Today we
- 3:08Speaker 2: stand victorious, and we give you all the praise in
- 3:13Speaker 2: Jesus' name. I pray Amen and Amen, God, bless you
- 3:18Speaker 2: be seated, happy to start to everyone. In the name
- 3:25Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ, Allelujah. I'll be teaching tonight on the
- 3:33Speaker 2: subject that relates to the season. We finish up our
- 3:37Speaker 2: series at the nearest opportunity we have, But for now
- 3:43Speaker 2: we'll be looking at the doctrine of resurrection. The doctrine
- 3:51Speaker 2: of resurrection, it's important for us to not only celebrate
- 3:57Speaker 2: Easter but understand the application. Every time believers are bankrupt
- 4:03Speaker 2: of understanding, our activities become a mere ritual that sustains
- 4:10Speaker 2: no spiritual value nor power to transform us. All over
- 4:13Speaker 2: the world. At this time, believers are celebrating what they
- 4:18Speaker 2: know to be Eastern. And when you probe into the
- 4:21Speaker 2: understanding of the average believer as to what they understand
- 4:27Speaker 2: by this concept, you will find out that most believers
- 4:31Speaker 2: have no idea. At best, they will tell you Jesus died,
- 4:36Speaker 2: Jesus rose again. I am free, free from what they
- 4:40Speaker 2: do not know. Why did he die? They do not know.
- 4:43Speaker 2: And so we'll be looking very briefly, and then we'll
- 4:45Speaker 2: pray and we trust that God will grant us grace
- 4:48Speaker 2: in Jesus' name Hebrews chapter six, Thank God for the
- 4:55Speaker 2: showers of blessings. May it rain blessings on your life
- 4:59Speaker 2: in the name Jesus he Brews, chapter six, who begin
- 5:04Speaker 2: a reading from verse one. Therefore, leaving the principles of
- 5:08Speaker 2: the doctrine of Christ, let us go on into perfection,
- 5:14Speaker 2: not laying again the foundation of number one, repentance from
- 5:20Speaker 2: dead walks, number two, faith towards God, number three, Verse
- 5:25Speaker 2: two of the doctrine of baptisms, number four of laying
- 5:31Speaker 2: on of hands, and number five of the resurrection of
- 5:37Speaker 2: the dead, and then number six of eternal judgment. So
- 5:41Speaker 2: Paul is teaching us here that there is such a
- 5:45Speaker 2: thing as the doctrine of resurrection. In fact, theologically speaking,
- 5:51Speaker 2: the major difference between the Pharisees and the Sadducees was
- 5:55Speaker 2: their understanding us to the concept of the resurrection. Party
- 6:00Speaker 2: believed that there's no such thing as the resurrection of
- 6:03Speaker 2: the dead. Allelujah, there is the doctrine of resurrection. Philippians,
- 6:11Speaker 2: Chapter three and verse ten. Apostle Paul was crying a
- 6:14Speaker 2: prayer on to God, and he said that I may
- 6:17Speaker 2: know him and among the many things he desired to know.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Even though he wrote two thirds of the New Testament,
- 6:25Speaker 2: he was attempting to describe the vastness and the debt
- 6:30Speaker 2: that was contained in this revelation. He calls it the
- 6:34Speaker 2: power of his resurrection, the power of his resurrection that
- 6:41Speaker 2: I may know him, and that I may also know
- 6:44Speaker 2: the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his
- 6:48Speaker 2: suffering being made conformable onto his death. Away together write
- 6:55Speaker 2: this down. Let me start with ister, what is isther?
- 7:02Speaker 2: It ties the commemoration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ
- 7:07Speaker 2: from the dead. In simple terms, whenever we talk about
- 7:12Speaker 2: and celebrate IST all across the Christian faith, we celebrate
- 7:21Speaker 2: ISTA now as the commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus
- 7:28Speaker 2: Christ from the dead. What does it mean to commemorate?
- 7:32Speaker 2: To commemorate means to observe. It means to mark. It
- 7:39Speaker 2: means to show respect for So when we commemorate IST,
- 7:44Speaker 2: we observe the mystery contained in that season, we mark
- 7:50Speaker 2: it with understanding, and then we show respect for the
- 7:54Speaker 2: sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Let me define resurrection before I
- 8:00Speaker 2: begin to teach what does it mean to resurrect? What
- 8:04Speaker 2: is resurrection? Resurrection comes from a Greek word called anastasis.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Anastasis let me spell it for you an as ta
- 8:19Speaker 2: si s one more time, an as ta si s anastasis,
- 8:29Speaker 2: and it means raising up or standing up again. So
- 8:36Speaker 2: from the root ward, when we talk of resurrection, we
- 8:38Speaker 2: mean a raising up or a standing up again. Something
- 8:42Speaker 2: that was one standing and then it fell, became lifeless,
- 8:47Speaker 2: or lost its potency. Now where you engage it to
- 8:50Speaker 2: a process that brings it up again is called resurrection. Anastasis,
- 8:57Speaker 2: let me define it for you. Is an act or
- 9:04Speaker 2: instance of a man's immortal spirit. Resurrection is an act
- 9:12Speaker 2: or instance of a man's immortal spirit reuniting with the body.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Resurrection is an act or instance of a man's immortal
- 9:28Speaker 2: spirit reuniting with the body, either the same body or
- 9:35Speaker 2: a glorified body. Resurrection is an act or instance of
- 9:43Speaker 2: a man's immortal spirit reuniting with the body. It can
- 9:50Speaker 2: be either the same body that he lost at the
- 9:53Speaker 2: point of death or another kind of body higher in quality.
- 9:58Speaker 2: The Bible calls it a glorified body. Are we following tonight?
- 10:02Speaker 2: That resurrection is an art or instance of a man's
- 10:07Speaker 2: immortal spirit reuniting with the body, either the same body
- 10:17Speaker 2: or a different kind a glorified body. Now write this down, please.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Resurrection is a central doctrine of the Christian faith. Resurrection
- 10:30Speaker 2: is a central doctrine of the Christian faith. We may differ,
- 10:37Speaker 2: now just write and look up, please, all across the
- 10:44Speaker 2: Christian circle, as we call it. We have the concept
- 10:47Speaker 2: of denominationalism, where people seem to emphasize certain aspects of
- 10:54Speaker 2: the Christian faith. We have what we call the Pentecostal,
- 10:58Speaker 2: the Charismatic movement, the Evangelicals. We have, you know, different
- 11:03Speaker 2: sects here and there. But for us, long as you
- 11:07Speaker 2: call yourself a Christian, you may differ in other things
- 11:11Speaker 2: like the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and so on
- 11:14Speaker 2: and so forth. But resurrection, the doctrine of resurrection, makes
- 11:20Speaker 2: up a central path of the Christian faith and the
- 11:24Speaker 2: Christian experience. It is important for us to understand this.
- 11:29Speaker 2: The resurrection is a central doctrine of the Christian faith.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Like we read in Hebrews chapter six, and now let's
- 11:37Speaker 2: look at First Corinthians chapter fifteen, Paul himself gives us
- 11:42Speaker 2: the doctrine of the resurrection from verse eleven. This is
- 11:48Speaker 2: the most concise exegesis of the doctrine of the revelation
- 11:53Speaker 2: of the resurrection as revealed by Apostle Paul himself. First
- 11:58Speaker 2: Corinthians fifteen, verse eleven. Therefore, whether it be I or they,
- 12:05Speaker 2: so we preached, and so ye believe. Next verse it says, now,
- 12:12Speaker 2: if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead,
- 12:18Speaker 2: how says some among you that there is no resurrection
- 12:22Speaker 2: of the dead. He's dealing with an issue right now.
- 12:25Speaker 2: But if there have been no resurrection of the dead,
- 12:28Speaker 2: Remember I told you that the Pharisees and the sad
- 12:31Speaker 2: Dices were two major sects. The sad dicese did not
- 12:34Speaker 2: believe in the resurrection of the dead away together. It
- 12:38Speaker 2: was the major point of difference between the Pharisees and
- 12:41Speaker 2: the sad Dices. But if there have been no resurrection
- 12:44Speaker 2: of the dead, he said, then Christ is not reason.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Next verse we're reading to twenty two. And if Christ
- 12:54Speaker 2: be not reason, then our preaching then is our preaching fain?
- 13:00Speaker 2: And your faith is also vain. Yeah, and we are
- 13:07Speaker 2: found false weaknesses, and we have found false witnesses of God,
- 13:11Speaker 2: because we have testified of God that he raised, of
- 13:15Speaker 2: Christ whom he raised not up. Now he's speaking with
- 13:19Speaker 2: respect to the thoughts of those who are fighting the
- 13:22Speaker 2: idea of the resurrection, whom he raised not up. If
- 13:25Speaker 2: so be that the dead rise not sixteen. For if
- 13:30Speaker 2: the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised? And
- 13:35Speaker 2: if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain, and
- 13:40Speaker 2: ye are yet in your sins. Eighteen He says, then
- 13:45Speaker 2: they also, which are falling asleep, were coming there now,
- 13:49Speaker 2: because you see, the Bible has an idea of what
- 13:52Speaker 2: we have come to know and call death. The Bible
- 13:55Speaker 2: in the Pollen Epistle calls dying in Christ sleeping. They also,
- 14:02Speaker 2: which are falling asleep in Christ, are perished. That means
- 14:06Speaker 2: there's no hope of seeing them again. Then he says,
- 14:09Speaker 2: if in this life only we have hope in Christ,
- 14:13Speaker 2: we are of all men most miserable verse twenty. But
- 14:19Speaker 2: now is Christ's risen from the dead. Hallelujah, and become
- 14:23Speaker 2: the first fruit of them that slept. Twenty one. For
- 14:28Speaker 2: since by man came death, take notes, Take notes. We're
- 14:32Speaker 2: going to deal with some issues here. Since by man
- 14:35Speaker 2: came death, the Bible says, by man came also the
- 14:40Speaker 2: same resurrection of the dead. Twenty two The last verse,
- 14:45Speaker 2: for us in Adam all die, even so in Christ
- 14:50Speaker 2: shall all be made alive. In the seminary, who say,
- 14:55Speaker 2: may the Lord bless the reading of his word. Facts
- 15:01Speaker 2: about resurrection. Right, Please, there are two or three major
- 15:06Speaker 2: facts that I would want to spell out immediately about
- 15:11Speaker 2: the resurrection. Number one, the Bible teaches, Please write, the
- 15:15Speaker 2: Bible teaches that all men will experience resurrection. The Bible
- 15:22Speaker 2: teaches that all men will experience resurrection. Two sscriptions for
- 15:29Speaker 2: that first point. The first fact about resurrection that we
- 15:33Speaker 2: must understand is that the Bible teaches number one that
- 15:37Speaker 2: all men will experience resurrection, adds Chapter twenty four. Please
- 15:43Speaker 2: give us verse fourteen and fifteen. But I confess onto
- 15:52Speaker 2: d that after the way which they call heresy, so
- 15:57Speaker 2: worship either God or my Father's making defense of the gospel.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Now believing all things that were written in the Law
- 16:04Speaker 2: and the prophets, Please let's read verse fifteen together. Ready,
- 16:08Speaker 2: one to read and heaven a hope towards God, which
- 16:13Speaker 2: they themselves also allow, that yes, shall be a resurrection
- 16:19Speaker 2: of the dead uhah, both of the just and the unjost.
- 16:25Speaker 2: The Bible clearly shows us that both the just and
- 16:29Speaker 2: the unjust will experience resurrection. Orders to be with God,
- 16:35Speaker 2: orders to eternal damnation. But the Bible teaches clearly that
- 16:39Speaker 2: all men will experience resurrection. Revelations Chapter twenty. Will read
- 16:44Speaker 2: from verse eleven is God giving someone understanding already twenty
- 16:50Speaker 2: and verse eleven and I saw a great white throw
- 16:55Speaker 2: and him that sat on it, from whose face the
- 16:59Speaker 2: head and the heavens fled away, and there was found
- 17:03Speaker 2: no place for them. Next verse, and I saw that dead.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Is that in your Bible, small and great stand before God.
- 17:14Speaker 2: They were once dead, But all of them are now
- 17:17Speaker 2: our life, standing before God. And the books were opened,
- 17:21Speaker 2: and another book was open, which was the Book of Life.
- 17:24Speaker 2: And the dead were George out of those things which
- 17:28Speaker 2: were written in the books, according to their walks. Next verse,
- 17:33Speaker 2: and the sea faith of the dead which were in
- 17:36Speaker 2: it is that in your Bible, and Death and Hell
- 17:40Speaker 2: delivered up the dead that were in them, and they were.
- 17:45Speaker 9: George every man according to their works.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Fourteen, And Death and Hell themselves were now cast into
- 17:55Speaker 2: the lake of fire. And the Bible says, this is
- 17:59Speaker 2: the second day. If we have the time, we have
- 18:02Speaker 2: to look at the method that the Bible acknowledges that
- 18:06Speaker 2: there is a second death. It means there is a
- 18:09Speaker 2: first one. This is the second death. Next verse. The
- 18:15Speaker 2: last verse now fifteen, And whosoever was not found in
- 18:20Speaker 2: the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
- 18:26Speaker 2: So point one Facts about resurrection. The Bible teaches that
- 18:30Speaker 2: all men will experience resurrection. Fact number two. Resurrection will
- 18:37Speaker 2: always reunite the human spirit and his body. Resurrection will
- 18:44Speaker 2: always reunite man's spirit and his body, either the same body,
- 18:52Speaker 2: like I said, or a new glorified body. Resurrection will
- 18:57Speaker 2: always reunite. That means it will always involve a reunion
- 19:04Speaker 2: of man's spirit and his body. The Bible teaches us
- 19:09Speaker 2: that there are two dimensions as far as the bodies
- 19:11Speaker 2: for resurrection is concerned. That it is possible for a
- 19:15Speaker 2: spirit to return back to the same body it left,
- 19:19Speaker 2: and then the spirit can also enter into another body.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Two scriptures one to establish the fact that a spirit
- 19:27Speaker 2: can return back to the same body it left. In
- 19:30Speaker 2: John eleven, from verse forty three to forty four, this.
- 19:36Speaker 9: Was the story of Lazaros.
- 19:37Speaker 2: And he said John eleven forty three and forty four.
- 19:41Speaker 2: And when he had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus,
- 19:46Speaker 2: come forth. Please read verse forty four. If you can
- 19:48Speaker 2: see it, ready one to read. And he that was
- 19:52Speaker 2: dead came forth, bound hand and foot, with grave clothes,
- 19:58Speaker 2: and his face was bound about with a napkin. And
- 20:02Speaker 2: Jesus said, onto them, lose him and let him go.
- 20:06Speaker 2: So it is possible for a spirit to return back
- 20:10Speaker 2: to the same body it left. Second example, stressing that
- 20:14Speaker 2: point of same body looked seven. From verse eleven to seventeen,
- 20:20Speaker 2: this was the story of a dear widow. The Bible
- 20:23Speaker 2: calls her a widow who was in a city called Name.
- 20:26Speaker 2: And it came to pass the day after that when
- 20:30Speaker 2: that he went into a city called Name, and many
- 20:34Speaker 2: of his disciples went with him, and much people. Next verse. Now,
- 20:40Speaker 2: when he came nigh to the gate of the city,
- 20:42Speaker 2: behold there was a dead man carried out the only
- 20:46Speaker 2: son of his mother. And she was a widow, and
- 20:50Speaker 2: much people in that city with her. Next verse. And
- 20:54Speaker 2: when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her
- 20:57Speaker 2: and said on to her Whipnam fourteen. And he came
- 21:01Speaker 2: and touched the bear, and there that bare him stood still,
- 21:07Speaker 2: and he said, young man, I say unto you, arise.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Next verse, the Bible says, and he that was dead
- 21:16Speaker 2: sat up and began to speak, and he delivered him
- 21:21Speaker 2: to his mother. Next verse were ready to seventeen and
- 21:26Speaker 2: there came a fear upon all, and they glorified God,
- 21:29Speaker 2: saying that a great prophet is reasen among us, and
- 21:34Speaker 2: that God had visited his people seventeen now. And this
- 21:39Speaker 2: rumor of him went throughout all Judea and throughout all
- 21:43Speaker 2: the region round about. So we see that in both
- 21:47Speaker 2: instances the dead returned back to the bodies they had.
- 21:51Speaker 2: The bodies were quickened. Quicken means it was now made
- 21:55Speaker 2: conducive for the spirit to now be able to inhabit it.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Because you see, men, medical science would tell you that
- 22:01Speaker 2: when the spirit is detached from a body beyond a
- 22:06Speaker 2: certain time, that body begins to decay. Is that true?
- 22:12Speaker 9: And so both for Lazarus and the.
- 22:15Speaker 2: Widow's son, even if the spirit wanted to come back,
- 22:18Speaker 2: the condition of the body, because most likely the body
- 22:23Speaker 2: left because something, I mean, the spirit left because something
- 22:26Speaker 2: was wrong with the body. So there had to be
- 22:28Speaker 2: two miracles, one the return of the spirit and the
- 22:31Speaker 2: other the quickening of that body to now make it
- 22:34Speaker 2: conducive for the spirit to return. How about another body?
- 22:39Speaker 2: The Bible teaches in First Corinthians, where we read, let's
- 22:43Speaker 2: start from verse thirty five, the continuation of our reading now,
- 22:47Speaker 2: First Corinthians fifteen, from verse thirty five. Media help was
- 22:51Speaker 2: let's work together. First Corinthians fifteen, from verse thirty five.
- 22:57Speaker 2: But some man will say, how are the dead raised up?
- 23:03Speaker 2: And with what body do they come? So this answers
- 23:07Speaker 2: the question directly. You are not a fool in Jesus name.
- 23:12Speaker 2: He says, thou fully was talking to them. Now, not you.
- 23:15Speaker 2: You have understanding that which thou sowest is it not
- 23:20Speaker 2: quickened except it dies. He's borrowing a phenomenon from agriculture
- 23:25Speaker 2: now to teach them. And that which thou sowest, thou sowest,
- 23:29Speaker 2: not that body that shall be. In other words, when
- 23:32Speaker 2: you throw your corn, it is not the body that
- 23:34Speaker 2: fell that will come out, and not that body will
- 23:37Speaker 2: come with it. Is that true? It's amazing that the
- 23:41Speaker 2: first of God's creation to witness resurrection was not even man.
- 23:47Speaker 2: It was plants that when you saw it will actually
- 23:53Speaker 2: reap It goes through that process of resurrection. Remember that
- 23:58Speaker 2: accept a corn of which falls to the ground and dies.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Jesus was teaching. So back to our example. It says,
- 24:06Speaker 2: that which thou sowest, thou sowest, not that body that
- 24:09Speaker 2: shall be but bear grain. It may chance it made
- 24:15Speaker 2: chance of which or some other grain. My apologies for
- 24:19Speaker 2: all these, King James English. But God give it it
- 24:22Speaker 2: a body as it had pleased him. So God can
- 24:26Speaker 2: give it another body, and through every seed his own body.
- 24:32Speaker 2: Thirty nine. All flesh is not the same flesh. And
- 24:36Speaker 2: you see it now He's saying, even among flesh bodies,
- 24:39Speaker 2: there are different kinds. But there is one kind of
- 24:42Speaker 2: flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes,
- 24:47Speaker 2: another of birds. Do you know what this means? A
- 24:51Speaker 2: human spirit cannot enter into the body of a fish.
- 24:57Speaker 2: It is not the normal way things should. That was
- 25:00Speaker 2: why we need to pray and really examine what happened
- 25:04Speaker 2: to nebokat Nezza, how he became an animal the force
- 25:09Speaker 2: the spirit of a human being. You see that it
- 25:11Speaker 2: was a punishment. It was not a miracle. That God
- 25:15Speaker 2: wanted to teach a many lesson and he took a
- 25:18Speaker 2: human spirit and put it in the body of a beast.
- 25:22Speaker 2: You know what that means, Many many, many paths components
- 25:26Speaker 2: connected in his spirit will not function because the beast
- 25:32Speaker 2: will not have the faculties to interact with some of
- 25:35Speaker 2: those provisions that his spirit has so it's going to
- 25:38Speaker 2: be a perpetual level of torture. Forty were reading to
- 25:47Speaker 2: forty four. There are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial,
- 25:54Speaker 2: But the glory of the celestial is one, and the
- 25:57Speaker 2: glory of the terrestrial is another. Forty two one. Now
- 26:00Speaker 2: there is the glory of the sun, the glory of
- 26:03Speaker 2: the moon, the glory of the stars. And it says
- 26:06Speaker 2: one start different from another in glory forty two. Now,
- 26:10Speaker 2: so also is the resurrection of the dead. It is
- 26:15Speaker 2: sown in corruption. Corruption means death, doomed. It is raised
- 26:20Speaker 2: in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor it is raised
- 26:27Speaker 2: in glory. It is sown in weakness for some, but
- 26:32Speaker 2: it will be raised in power. Forty four. It is
- 26:36Speaker 2: sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
- 26:42Speaker 2: And then he gives us an information that there is
- 26:44Speaker 2: a natural body and there is a spiritual body. For instance,
- 26:50Speaker 2: the body you wear when you are in your dreams,
- 26:53Speaker 2: it is a body, but it is not a natural body,
- 26:56Speaker 2: because your natural body is asleep in the room. Yet
- 26:59Speaker 2: in the dream and the vision you have, you are
- 27:01Speaker 2: not just a spirit floating. You are in another body.
- 27:04Speaker 2: It says there is a natural body and there is
- 27:08Speaker 2: a spiritual body. So by dese scriptures we establish the
- 27:11Speaker 2: fact that resurrection in its character will always bring a
- 27:15Speaker 2: reunion between his spirit and body. That immediately gives us
- 27:21Speaker 2: a definition of death or a dimension of death. Separation,
- 27:27Speaker 2: separation not just cessation of living, but separation between the
- 27:32Speaker 2: spirit and the body. Fat number three. I'm giving us
- 27:39Speaker 2: three fats. Number one, I said that the Bible teaches
- 27:42Speaker 2: that all men will experience resurrection. Number two. Resurrection will
- 27:47Speaker 2: always unite man's spirit with his body, either the same
- 27:52Speaker 2: body or another kind. Number three. It is impossible to
- 28:00Speaker 2: fully understand resurrection and its significance to the believer until
- 28:07Speaker 2: you understand for important concepts. You cannot fully or it
- 28:13Speaker 2: is impossible to fully understand resurrection and it's significance. It
- 28:20Speaker 2: is impossible to fully understand resurrection and its significance to
- 28:26Speaker 2: the believer until you understand four important concepts. That means
- 28:33Speaker 2: there are four important concepts that give us clarity and
- 28:38Speaker 2: help us to really understand resurrection. Are you ready? Number
- 28:43Speaker 2: one sin you cannot understand resurrection until you understand sine
- 28:50Speaker 2: Number two, you cannot understand resurrection until you understand death
- 28:57Speaker 2: number three. Let me slow down a bee. It is
- 29:01Speaker 2: impossible to fully understand resurrection and its significance to the
- 29:06Speaker 2: believer until you understand four important concepts. Let's take it again.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Number one, Sin, number two, death number three, the grave,
- 29:18Speaker 2: number four Hell. These are the four concepts that necessitates
- 29:27Speaker 2: the idea of resurrection. That means you can't It is
- 29:31Speaker 2: impossible to claim you understand resurrection as a mystery, as
- 29:35Speaker 2: a doctrine, and its significance to the believer if you
- 29:39Speaker 2: do not understand these four biblical concepts. The entire journey
- 29:45Speaker 2: of redemption and that includes resurrection especially, are hinged on
- 29:50Speaker 2: victory over these four factors. Number one, Sin, number two,
- 29:56Speaker 2: death number three, the grave number for hell. Unfortunately, I
- 30:02Speaker 2: can't promise you that I would do justice to all
- 30:05Speaker 2: tonight because of our time. This will require a series
- 30:08Speaker 2: to pick one by one by one. We can spend
- 30:11Speaker 2: the whole day talking on sin, another day talking on death,
- 30:15Speaker 2: another day talking on the grave. Because this grave, you see,
- 30:18Speaker 2: it's not just a hole that you enter. Are we together?
- 30:26Speaker 2: For Apostle Paul to say, oh, grave, where is your victory?
- 30:32Speaker 2: Means it's not just talking of that pit that is dog.
- 30:36Speaker 2: There is more to eat. Let's see how far God
- 30:39Speaker 2: will help us. Tonight, Lord, open my eyes, grant me revelation.
- 30:43Speaker 2: Please pray, open my eyes in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 30:48Speaker 2: Grant me revelation. She la bacos sabranda gate balato, grant
- 30:55Speaker 2: me revelation. The Bible says, when the of the Lord's
- 31:00Speaker 2: house is exalted, all people will flow to it, and
- 31:05Speaker 2: they will say, come, let us go to the house
- 31:08Speaker 2: of God, to the mountain of the God of Jacob,
- 31:10Speaker 2: he said, and he will teach us his ways. In
- 31:15Speaker 2: Jesus' name. Hallelujah. You truly cannot comprehend resurrection and its
- 31:23Speaker 2: significance to the believer until you know what sin is,
- 31:27Speaker 2: until you know what death is, until you understand what
- 31:31Speaker 2: the grave is, and you understand Hell. Because Jesus passed
- 31:37Speaker 2: through all four for resurrection to happen, he became sin,
- 31:43Speaker 2: he died, he was buried in the tomb, he experienced
- 31:46Speaker 2: the grave, and he went to Hell. What is saying,
- 31:55Speaker 2: Let's see how far we can go. Let's try to
- 31:57Speaker 2: understand the full concepts. What is saying, First John chapter
- 32:01Speaker 2: three and verse four, Let's try to touch a bit
- 32:05Speaker 2: at least on the biblical concept of sin. The Bible says,
- 32:08Speaker 2: whosoever committed sin transgressed against the law. For sin is
- 32:15Speaker 2: the transgression of the law. So, according to this scripture,
- 32:21Speaker 2: the Bible identifies sin as two principal things. Number one transgression,
- 32:28Speaker 2: Number two rebellion. Please write, for sake of time, I'm
- 32:32Speaker 2: summarizing my apologies. Sain is transgression of a command, not
- 32:39Speaker 2: just the Old Testament law. That means, for sein to happen,
- 32:44Speaker 2: there must be an instruction or a command. It is
- 32:48Speaker 2: not possible for sin to happen until there is something
- 32:52Speaker 2: to violate. Are we together now the character the very
- 32:55Speaker 2: nature of sin. It must have an instruction and order
- 33:01Speaker 2: given to provide a basis for violating it. Sin is transgression.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Sin is rebellion. What does it mean to transgress? To
- 33:13Speaker 2: transgress means to violate, To transgress means to go against.
- 33:20Speaker 2: When we talk of transgression, we mean to violate and
- 33:24Speaker 2: we mean to go against. What then is rebellion? I'm
- 33:30Speaker 2: defining these terms because I do not want us to
- 33:32Speaker 2: be in confusion in dealing with this. I told you
- 33:36Speaker 2: that same is transgression, Sin is rebellion.
- 33:42Speaker 9: What is rebellion. I wrote here the.
- 33:44Speaker 2: Willful and continual resistance to constituted authority. The willful and
- 33:52Speaker 2: continual resistance to constituted authority. Now you understand what we
- 33:58Speaker 2: call the original scene, Satan scen. His original scene was
- 34:05Speaker 2: not just pride. His original scene was rebellion, willful and
- 34:11Speaker 2: continual resistance to constituted authority. Now in theology, there's what
- 34:19Speaker 2: we call the original scene, the original scene based on
- 34:24Speaker 2: the law of first mentioned is in twofold. There is
- 34:27Speaker 2: the original scene as committed by Lucifer, and then as
- 34:32Speaker 2: committed by man Adam. What is the original scene as
- 34:36Speaker 2: committed by Lucifer? Rebellion Revelations twelve seven and eight. Very simple.
- 34:44Speaker 2: Lucifer's scene was rebellion. That rebellion was sponsored by pride.
- 34:49Speaker 2: But what he acted out that we know to be
- 34:52Speaker 2: seen was rebellion. Revelations, twelve seven and eight. Revelations twelve
- 34:59Speaker 2: seven and eight. Media, please help us twelve seven and eight.
- 35:03Speaker 2: Let me turn it here very quickly for sake of time. Revelations,
- 35:09Speaker 2: Chapter twelve. From verse seven and eight, it says, and
- 35:15Speaker 2: there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought
- 35:21Speaker 2: against the dragon. There was war. Where for someone to
- 35:25Speaker 2: dare to create war, that is the height of rebellion.
- 35:30Speaker 2: There was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought
- 35:34Speaker 2: against the dragon, and the dragon fought against his angels
- 35:39Speaker 2: and prevailed. Not neither was their place found any more
- 35:46Speaker 2: in heaven. Lucifer's scene was the scene of rebellion. What
- 35:53Speaker 2: about man? What was man seen? Disobedience simple? The scene
- 35:59Speaker 2: of other man eve was disobedience. Genesis chapter two, from
- 36:06Speaker 2: verse seventeen. That was where the instruction came. That became
- 36:10Speaker 2: the basis for obedience or sin. Are we together? Now?
- 36:15Speaker 2: It's impossible to be obedient or to be sinful until
- 36:19Speaker 2: there is a set order. Then you can now violate it.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Until God spoke, it was impossible to obey or to sin.
- 36:29Speaker 2: You have to understand both sin and obedience is with
- 36:32Speaker 2: respect to the word of God. Let me repeat myself again.
- 36:36Speaker 2: Both sin and obedience is with respect to the word
- 36:40Speaker 2: of God. God's word is the standard for measuring obedience,
- 36:44Speaker 2: and the standard for measuring sin. In violation to the
- 36:49Speaker 2: word of God is called sin. Compliance and obedience to
- 36:53Speaker 2: the word of God. Now it's called faith or obedience
- 36:55Speaker 2: as you call it. Someone learning Genesis to seventeen. Here
- 37:01Speaker 2: was the instruction from the lips of God himself. But
- 37:05Speaker 2: of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
- 37:09Speaker 2: he says, thou shalt not eat it, for in the
- 37:13Speaker 2: day that thou eatst thereof thou shalt surely die. Take
- 37:19Speaker 2: note of that statement. Do you know what surely means?
- 37:22Speaker 2: Surely thy means it's an ordinance. It will not change.
- 37:35Speaker 2: You need to understand how powerful. Please let me have
- 37:38Speaker 2: your attention. You need to understand how powerful the world
- 37:41Speaker 2: of God is. This is God speaking to man and
- 37:45Speaker 2: giving him the first warning we see in scripture. He's saying,
- 37:51Speaker 2: do not eat of this tree, for in the day
- 37:54Speaker 2: you eat of it, something will happen to you. Thou
- 37:58Speaker 2: shalt surely die. Now, let me surprise you.
- 38:04Speaker 9: Do you know that it was God that introduced man
- 38:07Speaker 9: to the concept of death.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Satan was not here. The first mention of death and
- 38:15Speaker 2: the first interaction of the concept of death was not
- 38:19Speaker 2: given by Satan. It was God himself that said, listen,
- 38:23Speaker 2: there is such a possibility called death, and that the
- 38:28Speaker 2: condition for that death, there is something you are going
- 38:31Speaker 2: to activate if you transgress. Are we learning will come
- 38:37Speaker 2: to death? Shortly? It's just an information I wanted you
- 38:40Speaker 2: to know. So we see that for Lucifer, his sin
- 38:45Speaker 2: was rebellion. For man Adam, his sin was disobedience, disobedience
- 38:56Speaker 2: against the law of God. Genesis chapter three, from verse
- 39:00Speaker 2: four and six. We see the outwalking of that disobedience
- 39:04Speaker 2: Genesis three, four and six. Genesis chapter three, from verse
- 39:13Speaker 2: four and six, let me read it. And the serpent
- 39:16Speaker 2: said onto the woman, apologies for the projection. And the
- 39:20Speaker 2: serpent said, onto the woman, ye shall not surely die.
- 39:24Speaker 2: You see how satan we've dealt with, how setan works deception.
- 39:28Speaker 2: He's telling the woman, don't mind. God Is word is
- 39:30Speaker 2: not that powerful. Ye shall not surely die, for God
- 39:37Speaker 2: don't know that. In the day ye eat thereof, he says,
- 39:43Speaker 2: then shall your eyes be opened, and you shall be
- 39:47Speaker 2: as the gods, knowing good and evil. Now, verse six,
- 39:52Speaker 2: he says, when the woman saw that the tree was
- 39:55Speaker 2: good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes,
- 40:00Speaker 2: and a tree to be desired and to make man
- 40:03Speaker 2: wise one wise, what did she do? She took off
- 40:06Speaker 2: the fruit thereof and did it. And the Bible says
- 40:10Speaker 2: also gave it to her husband with her, and he
- 40:13Speaker 2: did it and something happened immediately. Now. God also helps
- 40:20Speaker 2: us to understand his idea about death that when God
- 40:24Speaker 2: talks of death, primarily he's talking about the spiritual state
- 40:29Speaker 2: of the man, because he said in the day you eat,
- 40:32Speaker 2: you will die biologically speaking and physically speaking. Adam lived
- 40:37Speaker 2: hundreds of years afterwards before he now died physically, so
- 40:42Speaker 2: he was not just talking of physical death. Away together,
- 40:46Speaker 2: praise the name of the Lord. Theologically, Paul also helped
- 40:51Speaker 2: us understand in his appalling exegesis about the idea of death.
- 40:56Speaker 2: Paul told us that sin. Sorry, that there is the
- 41:00Speaker 2: nature of sin, and there is the outworking of that nature,
- 41:05Speaker 2: what we call the acts of sin. You may want
- 41:07Speaker 2: to write that down, that there is the nature of sin,
- 41:13Speaker 2: and there is the outwalking of sin. There is the
- 41:17Speaker 2: nature of sin, and there is the outworking of sin.
- 41:25Speaker 2: Allelujam In Second Corinthians, chapter five and verse twenty one, apologists, again,
- 41:41Speaker 2: I'm sure they're working on it. First Corinthians, chapter five
- 41:44Speaker 2: and verse twenty one. Please write it down. I'll quote
- 41:46Speaker 2: it for sake of time. The Bible says he who
- 41:49Speaker 2: knew no scene became scene. He never said he became
- 41:54Speaker 2: a sinner a sinner is one who gives room for
- 41:59Speaker 2: the nature to expression. But it says he who knew
- 42:02Speaker 2: no sin became scein that we might be the righteousness
- 42:08Speaker 2: of God. In Christ Efficients two and verse two. Efficients
- 42:13Speaker 2: two and verse two, the Bible speaks about the spirit,
- 42:19Speaker 2: the prince of the power of the air. He calls
- 42:22Speaker 2: it the spirit that works in the children of disobedience.
- 42:27Speaker 2: So those who disobey remember that another definition for sin
- 42:32Speaker 2: is disobedience. That those who disobey there is a spirit
- 42:37Speaker 2: at work in them, the spirit that works in the
- 42:40Speaker 2: sons or the children of disobedience. For the sake of
- 42:46Speaker 2: our discussion, there are three very vital information about sin
- 42:50Speaker 2: that I want us to get that connects to our
- 42:53Speaker 2: teaching tonight. Please write it down. Three very important information
- 42:58Speaker 2: about sin that we most get. Number one is found
- 43:01Speaker 2: in Romance, chapter three and verse twenty three. It says,
- 43:05Speaker 2: for all have seen and fallen shots of the glory
- 43:11Speaker 2: or the standard of God. That is the first information
- 43:14Speaker 2: about sin that connects to resurrection, all with no exception.
- 43:20Speaker 2: In fact, the sam is said in iniquity, did my
- 43:23Speaker 2: mother conceive me? All have seen and fallen shots of
- 43:29Speaker 2: the glory of God? Second information Romans six twenty three.
- 43:36Speaker 2: Are you writing Romans six twenty three? The first one again,
- 43:42Speaker 2: it says all have seen three twenty three. And the
- 43:45Speaker 2: second information is that the wages of sin is death.
- 43:50Speaker 2: That means this scene has there is something that comes
- 43:54Speaker 2: with it, the wages the salary. The payment of sin
- 43:59Speaker 2: is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
- 44:03Speaker 2: to Jesus our Lord. The third information, now, this is
- 44:07Speaker 2: very vital. First Corinthians fifteen and verse fifty six. First
- 44:13Speaker 2: Corinthians fifteen and verse fifty six. Ready, let's read it together,
- 44:19Speaker 2: one to read. The sting of death is seen, and
- 44:25Speaker 2: the strength of sin is the law. I'm interested in
- 44:29Speaker 2: the first part, The sting of death is seen. This
- 44:35Speaker 2: is very powerful. Now, so there is a relationship between
- 44:39Speaker 2: sin and death. It says the sting. That means when
- 44:44Speaker 2: sin strikes at you, what happens as a result is death.
- 44:50Speaker 8: Wow.
- 44:52Speaker 2: Three most important information, all have seen. The wages of
- 44:56Speaker 2: sin is death, and the sting of death is seen.
- 45:03Speaker 2: Let's talk about death. I'm just helping to open us
- 45:08Speaker 2: up to this concept before I now begin to tie
- 45:12Speaker 2: the idea of the resurrection. And then will prays God
- 45:14Speaker 2: helping us. The first mention of the word die or
- 45:19Speaker 2: anything that relates to death, It came from the lips
- 45:22Speaker 2: of God himself Genesis to seventeen. Like we read earlier
- 45:26Speaker 2: Genesis to seventeen, he said, in the day that thou
- 45:30Speaker 2: eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. I told you earlier
- 45:35Speaker 2: that the person who introduced the idea and the concept
- 45:39Speaker 2: of death was God himself. I'm going to be saying
- 45:42Speaker 2: a few things that would disturb you, but just pay
- 45:44Speaker 2: attention and less lend as we receive wisdom. Are you ready?
- 45:48Speaker 2: Number one, Death was not Satan's concept. Death was not
- 45:57Speaker 2: Satan's concept. Satan was not the one who brought the
- 46:00Speaker 2: idea of death. No. Now, I've heard so many teachings
- 46:13Speaker 2: along the lines of redemption, the Pollen Epistle, and many
- 46:16Speaker 2: people who have said, you know, Satan brought death. It's
- 46:20Speaker 2: not very accurate. Doctrinally, death was not Satan's concept. Away together,
- 46:29Speaker 2: I want you to know that death was also created.
- 46:35Speaker 2: Death was Death was also created, but death did not
- 46:43Speaker 2: have the power to kill. Listen carefully now.
- 46:49Speaker 9: Death as you know it now was not God's design.
- 46:56Speaker 2: Death was not supposed to be an instrument that you
- 47:00Speaker 2: used to kill. Someone changed that operation and made it so.
- 47:09Speaker 2: Number one, death was not Satan's concept. Number two, death
- 47:16Speaker 2: was not created to have the power to kill. God
- 47:21Speaker 2: never gave death the power to kill. So where did
- 47:27Speaker 2: it get his power from? I will tell you. The
- 47:33Speaker 2: power of death to be able to kill came from man.
- 47:41Speaker 2: Listen carefully. The power of death to be able to kill.
- 47:47Speaker 2: It was man that gave death the power to be
- 47:50Speaker 2: able to kill. And the basis for that power. Watch
- 47:55Speaker 2: this now, by the original scene of man set and
- 48:02Speaker 2: tricked him to activate something and empower death to now
- 48:09Speaker 2: be able to kill. Listen carefully. And because of that
- 48:16Speaker 2: violation and that statement that God made that every time
- 48:21Speaker 2: there is sin, that should have the freedom to strike
- 48:26Speaker 2: the sinner. Are you getting the point now? God gave
- 48:30Speaker 2: man an instruction and he said your immunity. There's no
- 48:34Speaker 2: record of death threatening man in the garden of Eden. No.
- 48:40Speaker 9: Death only derived his power at the.
- 48:43Speaker 2: Instance of sin. Something happened to man when he violated
- 48:48Speaker 2: the principles and the instructions of God from that time
- 48:53Speaker 2: and then empowered by God's own predicts.
- 48:58Speaker 9: Everywhere death see sin.
- 49:01Speaker 2: It has the power to kill the individual.
- 49:07Speaker 9: Are you learning now, fair attention, you'll understand.
- 49:13Speaker 2: That everywhere upon any human being at all, if death
- 49:18Speaker 2: finds sain in that presen's nature, death has the authority
- 49:23Speaker 2: to come and create a separation between his spirit and
- 49:27Speaker 2: his body, ultimately destroying the location of his spirit and
- 49:34Speaker 2: disrupting that possibility from dwelling with God forever. It was
- 49:40Speaker 2: not God that empowered death to kill. The power of
- 49:46Speaker 2: death to kill was because of the presence of sin
- 49:51Speaker 2: that came through man. Are you getting now, Man's disobedience
- 49:58Speaker 2: gave death the power to kill? Please write it down.
- 50:03Speaker 2: Man's disobedience give death the power to kill. That means
- 50:12Speaker 2: without seeing death has no power over man, as seen
- 50:16Speaker 2: in the garden. Without seeing, death has no power over man.
- 50:22Speaker 2: You have to understand this concept to now begin to
- 50:25Speaker 2: understand what Jesus did when he walked upon the earth.
- 50:30Speaker 2: Without seeing, death has no power over man. Let's discuss
- 50:37Speaker 2: the power of death. First Corinthians fifteen and verse fifty five.
- 50:45Speaker 2: First Corinthians fifteen fifty five. Apostle Paul, now or death,
- 50:50Speaker 2: where is your sting? He's making a mockery of death
- 50:55Speaker 2: here based on a revelation, the same way Elijah made
- 50:59Speaker 2: a mockery of the prophets. This is a mockery he's
- 51:02Speaker 2: making of death, all death, Where is this sting, he says?
- 51:06Speaker 2: And all grave? Where is thy victory? It means that
- 51:12Speaker 2: there is something that he understood about the sacrifice of
- 51:16Speaker 2: Jesus and the power of his resurrection. Write this down.
- 51:22Speaker 2: The key to ultimately destroying death is foreseen to be
- 51:29Speaker 2: completely absent in the human race. The key to ultimately
- 51:37Speaker 2: destroying the power of death, if you want, is foreseen
- 51:44Speaker 2: to be completely absent in the human race. Hmm, this
- 51:55Speaker 2: is very powerful. The to ultimately destroying death or the
- 52:02Speaker 2: power of death is for Sein to be completely absent
- 52:06Speaker 2: in the human race. Look, or let me teach you something.
- 52:12Speaker 2: This thing called Sein more than an act, is a
- 52:16Speaker 2: nature and based on the deception of Satan and something
- 52:21Speaker 2: about the way God created the system that Sein passes
- 52:26Speaker 2: through the blood. Are we together? So as a woman
- 52:30Speaker 2: is pregnant, that baby in her womb already carries the
- 52:35Speaker 2: nature of sin. So the baby also carries.
- 52:38Speaker 9: The possibility of dyeing, even though you are.
- 52:40Speaker 2: Not being born. Are we together? Now? Death has a
- 52:48Speaker 2: mandate by reason of the fall of man, and the
- 52:53Speaker 2: mandate and the condition is anywhere you see seen, whether
- 52:58Speaker 2: seen as a nature through the bloodline or seen as
- 53:03Speaker 2: acted out by the physical body, you are authorized to
- 53:07Speaker 2: take that individual. And from the fall of Adam, death
- 53:15Speaker 2: effortlessly was able to take people because he found out
- 53:19Speaker 2: that there was no exception as far as the absence
- 53:24Speaker 2: of sein is concerned, that even the most righteous person
- 53:29Speaker 2: had within his nature by blood. Are we together now?
- 53:33Speaker 2: So we became slaves to death. Now, when you understand
- 53:43Speaker 2: this concept of death, you will now begin to appreciate
- 53:47Speaker 2: what happened with the coming of Jesus right from his birth.
- 53:52Speaker 2: Are you seeing the reason now why a man, a
- 53:56Speaker 2: mortal man, did not play the role in jesus Is coming?
- 54:01Speaker 2: Because remember, the city is transferred to the man the
- 54:05Speaker 2: woman only receives. Are we together now? And if a
- 54:08Speaker 2: mortal man played that role, then Jesus would not be
- 54:13Speaker 2: able to save see us because he himself would be
- 54:16Speaker 2: in need of a savior. That's why the Holy ghost
- 54:19Speaker 2: played that fatherly role. Because biology teaches us that the
- 54:23Speaker 2: blood from a child comes from his father. Is that true? Now,
- 54:29Speaker 2: this young boy grows to become an adult, and something
- 54:35Speaker 2: very strange happened from the time he was announced Satan
- 54:40Speaker 2: found out that all over the earth there was only
- 54:44Speaker 2: one person who stood as human, even though he was God.
- 54:49Speaker 2: And when he came to him, he found exactly what
- 54:54Speaker 2: he saw before he attacked Adam. How did this happen?
- 54:59Speaker 2: That there was no nature of sin? It says Satan,
- 55:03Speaker 2: comment to me, understand the process that leads to redemption.
- 55:07Speaker 2: Now are we together? Now? Don't think death tried Jesus,
- 55:13Speaker 2: but there was no basis. Remember the rule the law
- 55:16Speaker 2: is that you can only use the power to kill
- 55:19Speaker 2: when you find the nature of sin in that individual. Now,
- 55:23Speaker 2: death came to Jesus one son again, and it had
- 55:27Speaker 2: no power over him, the same way it had no
- 55:29Speaker 2: power over Adam before the fall. What was the crime?
- 55:34Speaker 2: The crime was that Jesus could not die. Why because
- 55:38Speaker 2: it did not have the nature of sin. That meant
- 55:41Speaker 2: there was no possibility for him to go to hell,
- 55:45Speaker 2: because the only person who can go to hell is
- 55:48Speaker 2: the person who dare kills. Just take it easy, You're
- 55:58Speaker 2: going to understand what I'm teaching you. Now, Oh Death,
- 56:05Speaker 2: where is your sting? The Bible says he who knew
- 56:09Speaker 2: no scene became seing. So if Jesus walked upon the
- 56:16Speaker 2: head and did not go to heaven till now he
- 56:20Speaker 2: will not die. Nothing would be able to touch him
- 56:22Speaker 2: because that nature was not in him. Death would pass
- 56:26Speaker 2: him like this, It wuld pass death because the nature
- 56:29Speaker 2: that authorizes the operation of death. Jesus did not come
- 56:33Speaker 2: from Adam. No, everyone who came directly from Adam was
- 56:43Speaker 2: already subject to death. First, and most important, spiritual death.
- 56:48Speaker 2: Then the physical deterioration that happened by reason of the
- 56:52Speaker 2: reign of death over a long period of time. Are
- 56:57Speaker 2: we learning now there was no way Jesus would have
- 57:11Speaker 2: saved man has been sinless because there was no way
- 57:16Speaker 2: he would be able to go to the grave. And remember,
- 57:19Speaker 2: the problem was he came not to die for himself.
- 57:24Speaker 2: He was not the one who had any problem. The
- 57:26Speaker 2: problem was man and these four elements needed to be
- 57:30Speaker 2: dealt with it. Number one, Sein, number two, talk to me,
- 57:35Speaker 2: number three, the grave.
- 57:37Speaker 9: Number four.
- 57:38Speaker 2: That means he had to assume a position that would
- 57:41Speaker 2: qualify him to pass through all four. But as he
- 57:46Speaker 2: was sinless, sain would not be able to touch him.
- 57:50Speaker 2: That would not be able to take him, the grave
- 57:53Speaker 2: would not be able to take him. And Hell, because
- 57:56Speaker 2: they are all related, it is seen that leads to death,
- 58:00Speaker 2: takes you to the grave, crave teakes you to hey,
- 58:02Speaker 2: this is the place of the dead. Now, he came
- 58:06Speaker 2: as a seinless one, and death would try and say,
- 58:09Speaker 2: I cannot find what this made the authorization, because see
- 58:13Speaker 2: the nature is what this made, the authorization to destroy
- 58:17Speaker 2: the human spirits. Satan coment to me, the Bible says,
- 58:21Speaker 2: and it does not find anything. But because his agenda
- 58:26Speaker 2: was to come and save us, the Bible says, we
- 58:29Speaker 2: did our best, and death still took us effortlessly. So
- 58:34Speaker 2: the only way people were preserved from death in the
- 58:37Speaker 2: Old Testament was through covenance. God would have an agreement
- 58:43Speaker 2: with them and give them terms, so they will obey
- 58:46Speaker 2: those terms, and on account of those terms, they would
- 58:49Speaker 2: have an immunity against that till the assignment was over.
- 58:53Speaker 2: But that permanent victory over death, it was not possible.
- 59:03Speaker 2: Now you will know who Jesus is, and you will
- 59:05Speaker 2: know what he did when he came. Follow the story. Now,
- 59:11Speaker 2: when Jesus left heaven, watch this. Remember the instruction in
- 59:17Speaker 2: Genesis two seventeen, he told man. The instruction was given
- 59:22Speaker 2: to who help me man. The instruction was not given
- 59:26Speaker 2: to angels. The instruction was not giving to lower creatures.
- 59:33Speaker 2: The instruction was given to man. In the day that
- 59:36Speaker 2: you eat of that fruit, in the day you walk
- 59:39Speaker 2: in disobedience, something will happen to you. And he spoke
- 59:43Speaker 2: to man, he said, you shall surely die. That means
- 59:47Speaker 2: the moment you violate that, there is no possibility of
- 59:51Speaker 2: reconnecting with Me at this level again. And so if
- 59:58Speaker 2: God were to punish a one, it would be man.
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: That's why Jesus had to now become a man. He
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: couldn't save man as God. God does not sin, God
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: does not die, God does not go to the grave,
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: and God does not go to hell. This is for men.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: And so he became a man.
- 1:00:21Speaker 9: But this time around he came as a sinless man.
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: He was a mystery that men did not understand, angels
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: did not understand. Even his apostles did not understand. So
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: he walked upon the earth. The Bible clearly tells us
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: that Jesus, the son of the Living God, was sinless.
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: And I hope that you know that sin does not
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: just affect the body. God's focus in dealing with the
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: sin problem. It's not just the body, because in any case,
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: like you will be learning. This body is just a container.
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: The real thing is your spirits. Are we together? Now?
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: Now let me teach you something very powerful, and then
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: we'll find somewhere to pray. Hebrews, Chapter four and verse
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: fifteen Hebrew's Chapter four. For we have not a high
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmity,
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: he says, but in always ten dead like us, Yet
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: without seining that means death, kept coming to look aroud,
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: how do I get this man?
- 1:01:33Speaker 9: But because there was no scene, not in his nature,
- 1:01:36Speaker 9: death could not touch him.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: Are you seeing why? The moment he became seen, he
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: didn't spend up to three days. Death took him immediately
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: because he had been looking for him, and it's like
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: you've been searching for something and finally you found it.
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: He was like a dream come true, this sin less man?
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: What get him? That authorization? He had now become sein
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: which speed that took him? Only to watch the shock
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: that Paul gave us? How will happen in hell? Because
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: Jesus had to look for a way to get down there,
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: and in this condition he would never be able to die.
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: He would never be able to go to the grave.
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: I remember everything he was doing was for me and
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: for you away together. So to qualify Jesus Christ based
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: on all I've taught you now, to qualify Jesus to die,
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: he had to become seen. And there was no way
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: of carrying the human blood because the idea of saying
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: is not just physical blood transfusion. No, there was no
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: way you could reverse the process of making a human
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: male become his father. Again, Joseph was just a chair taker.
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: It was the Holy ghost that played his father in
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: the role. So he now introduced the concept, like I've
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: taught you, called the Holy communion. Because the Bible says
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: he became seen. How did he become sein? John chapter six,
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: John chapter six. I'll begin my reading from verse fifty three.
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: John six fifty three. Then Jesus said, onto them, verily, verily,
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: I say onto you, except he eats the flesh of
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: the Son of Man, pay attention and drink his blood,
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: you have no life in you.
- 1:03:37Speaker 9: Are you seeing this now? This is a very powerful concept.
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: Next verse, who so eat my flesh and drink at
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: my blood had eternal life and the possibility of resurrection
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: can happen to that person. This is what Jesus was teaching.
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: He's saying, listen, in this your state. If you die,
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: that's the end of it for you. But there is
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: something I want to do. I want to make something
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: happen to you such that resurrection can be possible for you.
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: I went together that I will raise him up on
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: the last day. Fifty five.
- 1:04:13Speaker 9: For my flesh is meet indeed, and my blood is
- 1:04:18Speaker 9: drink indeed.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: Fifty six.
- 1:04:20Speaker 9: Now he that eatt my flesh. This is the key verse.
- 1:04:24Speaker 9: Now and drink at my blood to let.
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: In me and I in him. I've taught you this right.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: The doctrine of interpenetration, the mystery by which two entities
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: become one. That's the same mystery by which a man
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: and a woman from different locations parents. Now I call one.
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: Is what brings one plus one equal to one. Jesus
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: is teaching them here that it is possible for me
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: to entire you and you enterre me. I went together,
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: Please help us or not your So when they were
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: taking the communion, let me tell you what they were doing. Remember,
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: according to scripture, it took eating or interacting to partake
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: of that nature of sin. Now it had to do
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: with a meal. Something was happening. The disciples did not
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: even know what they were doing. Follow carefully now as
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: we unravel the mystery that leads to the resurrection. He
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: broke the bread, which he said was king. He said,
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: all of you eat it. You are not just eating
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: it for yourself. You are representing men. I can't guard
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: at the whole world in a meeting, but I can
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: use the number twelve, because twelve is a covenant number
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: for government. You are representing the entire human race. Listen
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: carefully in this communion. So when they ate it, he
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: now said, one more, drink this cup. This is my blood.
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: The moment that happened, Jesus said, all right, thank you,
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: you will see me.
- 1:06:02Speaker 9: Shortly he was on his way to get so many
- 1:06:04Speaker 9: they didn't even know what he went to do.
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: He now said, Father, based on this mystery called the communion,
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: it is legal for me. Now I have made myself
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: one with man. That means I can't transfer the scene,
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: whether I transfer my righteousness to him or scene is
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: transferred to me.
- 1:06:23Speaker 9: Remember the mystery.
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: Now, Remember in marriage, when a woman marries a man,
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: she doesn't have to look like him. She now carries
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: his shwn name immediately. Now, he sat at the communion,
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: and what was happening is that man was giving him
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: authority because the head belongs to man, and he came
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: even though he was God, he was man. He had
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: to find a way to negotiate with man to give
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: him a legal business to carry their scene so that
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: death would now look for him. Now watch this, please
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: watch this, look or please let me tell you what
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: Satan and Demon saw in the realm of the spirit.
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: They only knew that there was a meeting going on
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: in the upper room. I hope you know that's where
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: the last offer who happened. And as soon as Jesus
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: came out, Satan saw that this is not the same
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: person they had always seen. What was changing. Something was
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: happening to him. That thing sat and sees in every
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: human being. He finally saw it on Jesus when Jesus
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: went to get se many most people thought it just
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: went to pray. No, something was happening there. You know
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: what was happening there, It was right there. The Holy
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: Girls had to leave him because the Bible calls him
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: the second Adam and the Holy Spirit, who was a
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: life giving spirit. When the Holy Spirit lives in him,
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: Satan life and death, light and darkness cannot dwell. So
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: when he said take this cop of me, the cop
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: was not dying on the cross for the first time,
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: the holy girst will have to leave him to offer alone,
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: the same way he left Adam. You see, now listen carefully.
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: So right from ted Samony, he was no longer Jesus Christ. No,
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: he was now the man the second Adam. So Judas
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: comes and Judas does not even know what's possessing him,
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: And Satan looks at Jesus has said something changed. I'm
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: show in his mind. He will say, would TEMP tell
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: you that you became sinful? This sheep, not knowing that
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: it's called the hidden wisdom of God. So now that
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: one's invisible deity now gave himself freely. That was why
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: when they caught him all together, the disciples thought he
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: would shake them and throw them. But now it seems
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: like he was just a weak person, and they took
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: him around. Satan could not believe it. What in the
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: world I knew that I made defeat him, But this
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: is the son of God. What I could not do
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: in heaven is now happening cheaply. I was cast down
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: because of this agenda. Somebody is going to bow to me,
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: and Jesus kept going like a ship to the slaughter.
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: Now Condition one had been met, he had become seen
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: automatically that now had the authority. Are you saying now?
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: So Satan started moving through Ponto's pilot and through or.
- 1:09:32Speaker 9: Look and how Satan was determined. Do you know what
- 1:09:34Speaker 9: it means for a old city.
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: To suddenly hate you? That's hard walk from the realm
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: of the spirit. Satan was making sure that no body
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: shows any messy. Now that this guy is seen, I
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: don't know what else he can do. Let me kill
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: him first, because Satan did not know that if you
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: resurrect listen the idea. He had seen resurrection. But the
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: way resurrection happens is that somebody in the aggres must
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: call you. Are we together now? He must call your
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: spirit back into your body and set and knew that
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: if Jesus left, nobody nobody. So Jesus was led and
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: death was doing to him what he did to Adam
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: when he hung upon that cross. Condition number two, the
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: second element, he had become seen, and he died. You
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: know what happened. Imagine the silence in heaven because the
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: angels did not understandstand this. They were just obeying instructions
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: given to them. What in the world is this God?
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: You turned your face on the son of God. And
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: now he died. Hell was rejoicing, and his body was
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: hung there. Joseph of Arimathea said, please, don't leave this
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: body here. He didn't know what was moving him to ask,
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: because the third element was about to be conquered the grave.
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: Now the issue of saying he had become sin now here, Ah,
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: my God, he had died. And when they took him
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: to that tone and kept him there, they rolled the
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: stone and they closed it. Physical rem you are done
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: with your own assignments. Now let's see what happens. Let
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: me tell you this, because you see, the Bible does
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: not and I've read my Bible. I don't mean to
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: add you this, but I know from the authority of scripture.
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: With the exception of two people who are still even
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: learning about them, he Knock and Elijah, the Bible does
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: not record that anybody before Jesus Christ died directly and
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: went to heaven where the fad that is, and stayed there.
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: You will not find it in your Bible. No, No,
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: the Bible says they died with a promise that something
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: will happen because throughout their lifetime they obeyed the instruction
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: that was given to them. So it was taken as
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: a token of righteousness. And they say you wait here,
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: a day will come, something will happen that will make
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: reference to your obedience, and it will bail you out. Now,
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: Jesus is about to visit the third element, the grave,
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: when he was done with the grave. Let me tell
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: you what the grave is. Number one. The grave is
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: a place where I wrote here the physical remains of
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: a deceased is deposited. Could be a ditch, could be
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: a pit. Physically speaking, now, a grave is where the
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: physical remains of a deceased person is deposited. The spiritual
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: meaning of a grave listen carefully. A grave is a
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: spiritual passage. A grave is the spiritual passage from the
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: physical rem into the realm of the spirit. It's a
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: doorway that leads from the physical rem to the physical
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: to the spiritual rem Number three, the grave is also
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: where resurrection begins.
- 1:13:31Speaker 9: Very important information about the grave.
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: The grave starts. Resurrection starts right at the grave. Lazarus
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: woke up from the grave before he came out. So
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: a place where the physical remains of a deceased is deposited,
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: a passageway from the realm of the spirit to from
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: the physical realm to the realm of the spirit away
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: together the grave. Now, the fourth elements I want us
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: to look at very quickly is hell. There are seven words,
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: seven Greek expressions of the word hell, but there are
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: two that are most important to our discussion. One is
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: called Gehnnah. Ghnnah is felled g e h e na,
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: and Gahnnah was not a spiritual place. It was a
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: physical understanding Gehennah. In ancient times outside of Jerusalem, when
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: you study Bible history, there was a place where they
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: set criminals on fire, and they would burn them and
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: throw their dead bodies. You understand, we see an example
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: of that in most cities. There are places where you
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: see them hip rubbles and they can set it on fire.
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: That was where they called They called it hell, but
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: it was Gehnnah. They would burn criminals, set them to ashes,
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: and then trodia bodies there you know, to wrot and
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: cam so on and so forth. But there is another
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: word called hades h a des haides is called the
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: place of the dead, Haides the place of the dead.
- 1:15:24Speaker 10: Some sixteen and verse ten, Some sixteen and verse ten,
- 1:15:32Speaker 10: Some sixteen and verse ten.
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: For thou will not leave my soul in hell. The
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: Psalm is well speaking prophetically about the things that would happen.
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: Neither wilt thou sof fer the Holy One to see
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: corruption the word hell there is the word heides Second
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: Scripture Some one thirty nine and verse eight Some one
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: thirty nine and verse eight. He was speaking and said,
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: where can I hide from your presence? And he said,
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: if I ascend up into Heaven, thou art there. And
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: if I descend to the to hell. The word there
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: again is head. It's the place of the dead. Thou
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: art there.
- 1:16:21Speaker 9: So we know that there is a place called the
- 1:16:24Speaker 9: place of the dead.
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: So Jesus died, where do you think he went to?
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: He could not have gone to heaven, because anybody carrying
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: the nature of sin cannot go to heaven. In fact,
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: anyone who has not been redeemed cannot go to heaven.
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: And until Jesus came, there was nobody who had enjoyed
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: the blessings of redemption to go to heaven or owise
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: the Bible would never call him the firstborn among the begotten.
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: He had to be the person to lead that way.
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: Are we together now, So Jesus went to hell. My apologies,
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: I don't know what is affecting the whole projection. But
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: let me read Hebrews chapter two. Let me use my
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: Hebrews chapter two, from verse fourteen he Brews to fourteen.
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: Already just listened for as much then as the children
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: are partakers of flesh and blood, this is verse fourteen.
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: Now he Brews to fourteen. He also himself likewise took
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: part of the same took part of the same, means
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: he became in their form spiritually. Now that true death,
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: he might destroy him that had the power of death,
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: that is the devil, and deliver them fifteen Now who
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: through fear of death have all their lifetime been subject
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: to bondage. So all that Jesus did was so that
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: he will finally go to the place of the dead,
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: the realm of the spirit, and correct something that happened
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: between Satan and the first man. Let's see what happened now.
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: So the gate that opens up the physical realm to
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: the spiritual realm opened for Jesus and the Bible says,
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: my god, Paul was such an intelligent man. This was
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: how this guy just sat down and he was just
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: watching it like a video, and now began to write it.
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: You know what happened, The Bible says, when Jesus was
- 1:18:55Speaker 2: going to join all those who are gone before him,
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: now wells he went the he was in Hell, and
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: something began to happen seriously. There. Satan was shocked to
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: find out that although Jesus was there, he now tried
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: to force him to bow. Listen, carefully bowing talks of
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: acknowledging authority. Are we together now, Yes, Jesus now went
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: in the strength of man Adam and all the coorts
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: of Hell were forcing him to bow to the authority
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: of Satan. Paul said that he made a public show
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: of them. Now hold on, let me explain to you
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: what that means. Remember Jesus said, in the day you
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: eat it, you shall surely die. That means God's words
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: should not fall to the ground. Every man should die.
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: Do you know what that means. It doesn't mean to
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: stop living physically. It means there is no possibility for
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: man to be connected to him a ka. So Jesus
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: now comes, representing the entire creation in that covenant, and
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: went through the punishment that man should go through. And
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: the Bible says he shall see the tramveil of his soul.
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: This was a revelation given to Isaiah the prophet, that
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: he shall see the traveil of his soul, and he
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: shall be satisfied according to the teachings of great men
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: like e W Kenyon. He now says, when the legal
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: claims of justice was now paid for, you see that
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: now the father's heart was satisfied. Jesus made a public
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: show of them. He says, try young thing over them
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: in it. Now the final battle, he goes to Satan,
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: who the Bible called the god of this world, who
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: had collected the keys of dominion from Adam through deception,
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: and Jesus collected that key, and apost to Peter teaches
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: us that he now went somewhere that is called the
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: bosom of Abraham. Because the bossom of Abraham is not heaven. No,
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: I hope you know that there's no such place called
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: the bossom of Abraham. In heaven. There is a throne.
- 1:21:20Speaker 9: The Bible describes about twelve or thirteen things that we know.
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: One see in heaven, the bossom of Abraham is not there.
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: Aposupeter said, Jesus went there and preached the gospel to them,
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: and they believed. What was the gospel? Listen, I'm here
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: with you. Now. Remember the promise he made to you
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: through Abraham that in this shall all the families of
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: the earth be blessed. He was not talking of money.
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: He was saying, Abraham, because of your covenant, the Jewish
- 1:21:49Speaker 2: nation will come out, and Jesus, who come out of
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: that nation, and whoever believes, just like you believe it
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: will be credited to him for righteousness. That promise I
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: have come to you. They said, we believe it. They
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: come follow me, and that was how they started going on.
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: It's in your bible. It's in your bible. After the
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: defeat that happened in hell, Jesus led captivity, John, give
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: me efphicions. My spirit is fired up. Ah yeah, shaprando
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: cascadia efficients fur efficients four. Let's start from verse eighteen
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: efficient chapter four? Did I get that right? Efficients? Fall
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: from versa? He led captivity, Captive, help me look forward
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: for us media. It should be helping me as a
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: preaching efficians. Let me pull it on. He led captivity captive,
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: and he gave gifts on to men verse eight. Thank you, epicients.
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: Fore verse eight, wherefore said he, when he has sended
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: up on high, he did what he led captivity captive.
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: In fact, let's go to verse six. Let's start from there.
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: One God, one, father of all, who is above all
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: and through all, and in you all. Now verse seven,
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: pay attention, he says, but on to everyone is giving
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: place according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: Uh huh. Wherefore he said, when he has sended on high,
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: he led captivity captive and gave gifts to men verse nine.
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: Powerful information. Now now he that hascended, But what is
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: it that he also descended first to the word lower
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: parts of the earth. So Jesus went there, he's describing
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: now verse ten, And he descended, and then when he
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: was done, he now came to the head. He has
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: sended to finish his high priestly duty. And then he
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: came to charge the disciples. This is the protocol. That's
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: what happened. So he came out, and the Bible, your
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: Bible says that when Jesus was done. Now the issue
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: of sain death the grave, Hell was about to be
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: Do you know that if Jesus did not resurrect, that
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: means that number one Death still had power, because the
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: last enemy to be destroyed is death. And that also
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: means that he's not exacted power over death over Satan.
- 1:24:49Speaker 9: It means that he was trapped in hell.
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: So the Bible says, on the third day, let me
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: hurry up by the authority of the Father resurrection. When
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: he resurrected first, the Bible did not say he resurrected alone.
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: The departed saints that they resurrected with him and walked
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: around the streets of Jerusalem, and all men saw them.
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: Are we together now?
- 1:25:17Speaker 9: All men saw them?
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: Now when Jesus resurrected, I'm hurrying on because of time.
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: The Bible tells us that Mary saw him and she
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: wanted to come and touch him. She said, Rabbo and
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: I he said, don't touch me. That means I'm not
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: yet done with my I just came out of the grave,
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: but there is something I need to settle. He now
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: went to heaven. Paul was shown this when he taught
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: the Tibu Church that Jesus now went to heaven. He
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: was no longer savior in heaven. He was a high
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: priest and the lamb. He carried his blood into that tabernacle.
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: Are we together, I've taught you, and now put that
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: blood upon the altar, to a throne for the sin
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: of man, once and for all.
- 1:26:00Speaker 9: The moment he finished, listen carefully.
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: The moment he finished triumphantly, a coronation service was held
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: in heaven for him. The Lord said to my lord,
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: sit down at my right hand until I make your
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: enemies your fullstool. Philippians, chapter two, from verse five, Now
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: let this mind be in you, please give it to us,
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: which was also in Christ Jesus. Verse six, he says that,
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: although being in the form of God, thought it not
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: robbery to be equal with God. But for your sake
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: and my sake Verse seven, he made himself of no reputation,
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: took upon himself the form of a savant, and was
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: made in the likeness of men verse eight. And being
- 1:26:47Speaker 2: found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: became what obedient to death, think about it or not
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: obedient to the father. Obedient to death is another word
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: of saying. He became sin, because whoever has that nature
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: of sin is.
- 1:27:13Speaker 9: A slave to death.
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: He became obedient to death, even the death on the
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: cross verse nine. Wherefore God had so highly exalted him
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: and given him a name which is above every other name.
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: At the resurrection of Jesus, watch this, now, a coronation
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: service was hell for him. And when that coronation service
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: was held, that was when he was giving the name
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: Lord l O R D. Now. But the advantage is
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: that he was not Lord alone, He was not king alone.
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: Remember our communion mystery, that everything he was doing, you
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: were doing it in him.
- 1:27:57Speaker 9: That's the path sat and did not know.
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: Because if all of us were to be saved, every
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: one of us who have to do what Jesus did
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: for ourselves. And Jesus went through all that, and when
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: he resurrected by the glory of the Father, Satan was
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: surprised because he found out, now, listen carefully. He found
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: out that there was a possibility that had come from
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: the resurrection that man would not be able to have
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: What was that possibility that because Jesus rose again, man
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: is not only saved, but man also will rise like him,
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: not just spiritually first, like arising from the dead, but
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: that physically every time you receive eternal life into your spirit.
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: There are many things that you receive. Number one is
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: the life of God. But number two you receive so
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: something called the power of resurrection, the power of resurrection.
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: Part of it is for this age, but part of
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: it will be activated when the trumpet sounds. Follow me carefully.
- 1:29:13Speaker 2: We're discussing the doctrine of resurrection. Now there is a
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: part of the power of resurrection that is in us
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: but is not yet activated. It will be activated the
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: moment the sound of the trumpet is the signal that
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: was given that the moment that sound comes, every one,
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: whether you are alive or you are dead in Christ,
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: that software becomes activated, and the grave, no matter where
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: you died, you must resurrect once you are in Christ.
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: Oh no, we'll be given to those who died in Christ.
- 1:29:44Speaker 9: First we call this sleeping, and then we are alive.
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: And remain together. Will be caught up with him. Paul
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: said that I may know him and the power of
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: his resurrection. Let me tie up one or two things.
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: Listen carefully. There is a law according to Hebrews, chapter
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: nine and verse twenty seven, that it is appointed onto
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: man to die once. Why is it appointed to man
- 1:30:12Speaker 2: to die because of the original scene of man. Even
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: though you are saved spiritually, unfortunately, this physical body still
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: carries with it that nature of sin. And that is
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: the reason why deterioration are we together now and all
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: these other things that happen to man.
- 1:30:33Speaker 9: Now, Your spirits will never never have to.
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: Be separated with God again, because you have received.
- 1:30:38Speaker 9: Jesus, that oneness, that union, a reversal of.
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: What happened to Adam. But listen carefully. It is appointed
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: onto men. Please leave that scripture Hebrews, chapter nine and
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: verse twenty seven. Once to die, everybody say it is appointed.
- 1:30:57Speaker 2: It's not what you chose, is an appointment, and it
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: is a pointed onto man to die once. But after
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: this that means death is not the end of all things.
- 1:31:10Speaker 2: Listen carefully. That though our outward man perish, Paul said,
- 1:31:16Speaker 2: but that there is something happening to us philic man,
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: and that the real concern for the believer. Understand, resurrection
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: now is not so much your body, Pauly saying, look,
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: relative to what has really happened to you, the physical
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: body is not so much the issue. No matter how
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: long you wait, it is still appointed onto all men.
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: To die once. You may ask a question and say, Apostle,
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: but how about Enoch and Elijah? These are two men
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: that the Bible does not record that they died. Listen
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: to me, hear me. I assure you. I don't want
- 1:31:53Speaker 2: to go into eschatology now, but all of them will
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: still taste death. It is a point onto man to
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: die once. The question is, what is this death that
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: he's talking about. Does it mean to get to a
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: point where your body lies down? No, it is appointed
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: onto all men. Listen carefully that there will be an
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: event in their life when the spirit will be separated
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: with this body. If it happens earlier to what you
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: call natural death or at the blast of the trumpet,
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: the Bible says, this is not the body that will
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: carry this spirit. It will still be changed with really
- 1:32:33Speaker 2: a moment, a twinkling of an eye. There are people
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: who are not going to die physically. They will not
- 1:32:40Speaker 2: enter the grave. However, there will still taste of that
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: event with that change that happens. Are you get to
- 1:32:46Speaker 2: what I'm saying now? This is very powerful. It is
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: appointed onto men to die once. When Jesus returns, he's
- 1:32:55Speaker 2: not going to find an empty earth. There will still
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: be people there, but those who are alive physically and
- 1:33:02Speaker 2: those who have gone before us. The Bible says ohnor
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: will be given to them to rise up first resurrection,
- 1:33:10Speaker 2: and the possibility of that resurrection is because Jesus now
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: led the way, and because we were in him when
- 1:33:16Speaker 2: he died. If he resurrected, there is authorization for us
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: to also resurrect away together. Jesus could go to Hades
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: because death could now kill him. He went there when
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: he paid the price of justice. He resurrected by the
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: power of God. He conquered the grave, he conquered sin,
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: he conquered death, and with that victory he now handed
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: it to the believer. Listen carefully. So the completion of
- 1:33:54Speaker 2: the entire journey of redemption is not just giving your
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: life to Jesus, is also understanding that one day, one day,
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: that you have defeated death, both spiritually and physically, and
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: that even if your outward man is ever shared away
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: for your spirit to live, you find hope because even
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: though you die, to die in Christ means that that
- 1:34:21Speaker 2: software was still in your spirit, and that when the
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: signal of the trumpet comes and not that body, will
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: be given to you, and that spirit will return back.
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: That means every body who died in Christ, we will
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: still have that glorious reunion, the resurrection. Now, let me
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: teach you ano a very powerful concept. Jesus himself was
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: teaching John chapter eleven and verse twenty five. Jesus said,
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: resurrection is a person.
- 1:34:57Speaker 9: Not just an event.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: The woman he was talking to us saying, I know
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: they've taught us in the temple that at the last
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: day there would be and such a resurrection. Jesus said, no,
- 1:35:07Speaker 2: I am the resurrection, and I am alive. He said,
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: he that believed in me read it. Please, though he
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: were dead, yet shall he leave? What is this that
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: Jesus is saying. Jesus is saying, even though I have
- 1:35:21Speaker 2: conquered death and hell, with respect to your mortal body,
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: listen carefully, it is still possible that this body can transceit.
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: And he teaches us in his Falling Epistles that you
- 1:35:36Speaker 2: would never call a believer's transition death. You call it what.
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: The idea of sleeping is that that person is not lost.
- 1:35:46Speaker 2: He's going to wake up even if he's slept in
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: nineteen oh four, it's just a long sleep. He will
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: wake up again. This is what the Bible calls the
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: blessed hope, the blessed that hope is the hope of resurrection,
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: not just the hope of conquering Sain and Satan. Whatever
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: it is. So, as we saw John in this life,
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: as we celebrate Ista. On one hand, we thank God
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: for the victory that we now enjoy in this life.
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: But there is a blessed hope. You know what That
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: hope is that no matter what happens, whether in life
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: or in death, we have already received that software that
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: makes for resurrection. First the Salonians, chapter four. I'll discuss
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: one mystery, and then we begin to pray. First Thessalonians, Please,
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: chapter four, Paul began to teach us himself about the
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: idea from versus thirteen. We're reading thirteen to eighteen. First
- 1:37:03Speaker 2: the Salonians four thirteen. Okay, but I would not have
- 1:37:07Speaker 2: you ignorant, say knowledge, Paul wants to give us knowledge.
- 1:37:12Speaker 2: I would not have you ignorant, brethren concerning them which
- 1:37:16Speaker 2: I was.
- 1:37:17Speaker 9: Are you seeing that Paul uses the term sleep.
- 1:37:21Speaker 2: Please let me encourage you here every time you stand
- 1:37:24Speaker 2: before a dead body of someone who received Jesus Christ
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: in his lifetime. I want you to know that you
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: are simply looking at the remains. The remains that body
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: you see will be replaced by another body. It does
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: not matter how it was better, It does not matter
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: what happened that body. Will you will be giving another body.
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: And the Bible says that person is only sleeping. I
- 1:37:55Speaker 2: would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them which I sleep,
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: that this sorrow, not even as others which do not
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: have hope. Fourteen. For if we believe that Jesus died
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: and rose again, everybody say died and rose again one
- 1:38:12Speaker 2: more time they died and rose again. Your gospel must
- 1:38:16Speaker 2: never end with Jesus dying alone. The resurrection and his
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: exultation at the right hand of the Father is what
- 1:38:25Speaker 2: completes the gospel. Even so, because of that them which
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: also that sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him.
- 1:38:35Speaker 2: Fifteen He now teaches us this is what will happen. This,
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: I say unto you by the word of the Lord,
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: that which which are alive and remain onto the coming
- 1:38:46Speaker 2: of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
- 1:38:50Speaker 9: Now, notice how poorly saying asleep asleep.
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: Sixteen. For the Lord himself shall this from heaven with
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: a shout, with the voice of the art Angel, and
- 1:39:06Speaker 2: with the trump of God and the dead in Christ.
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: He's explained it now shall rise first, not only first seventeen.
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught
- 1:39:24Speaker 2: up together. The word caught up together is the word
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: that we know now, to be raptured with them in
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: soul shall we ever be with the Lord. This is
- 1:39:41Speaker 2: what Jesus died to achieve, that eternal separation. Notice the
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: Bible does not talk about heaven here. He says, be
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: with the Lord. The location is not the important thing.
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: It is the passing. We will be caught up in
- 1:39:58Speaker 2: the air, and who will be with the Lord? Where
- 1:40:01Speaker 2: I am there you may be also, because you will
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: be learning that heaven is not the only place God stays.
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: There is something called the New Jerusalem, and he's coming
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: back to the recreated Earth. And when he comes back,
- 1:40:15Speaker 2: because of that covenant of oneness, wherever might he is.
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: He said, I am the Resurrection and the Life. If
- 1:40:22Speaker 2: I resurrect you, you will be with me everywhere I
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: am There you will be also. Can I tell you this,
- 1:40:30Speaker 2: A day is going to come on earth. Look at me,
- 1:40:32Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. I'm sure to not be very long
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: from now. We will wake up one morning like every
- 1:40:39Speaker 2: other day. Don't you think you are just going to
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: hear babe? No, If you didn't hear it and you
- 1:40:48Speaker 2: are remaining, it means you didn't make it. Look up.
- 1:40:53Speaker 2: Let me teach you something love, but take it serious,
- 1:40:56Speaker 2: because it will happen. It's not a parable. Let me
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: tell you what will happen. The Bible says, in a moment,
- 1:41:04Speaker 2: in a twinkling of an eye, please blink your eye
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: for me. That's it. That is how fast it will happen.
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: Repeat it again. Have you ever had an event so
- 1:41:18Speaker 2: miraculous and so sudden? It didn't say in five minutes,
- 1:41:26Speaker 2: in a moment, a twinkling of an eye, an event
- 1:41:30Speaker 2: to happen on earth that has never been recorded. Billions
- 1:41:35Speaker 2: of graves will open in a moment, loved ones, some
- 1:41:41Speaker 2: of them you have never seen them. All these people,
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: these missionaries that died inside holes, water, all kinds of places.
- 1:41:48Speaker 2: You would see a glorious transition, that resurrection. And the
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: Bible says we who are alive and remain in a
- 1:41:56Speaker 2: twinkling of an eye to look like we're all going together,
- 1:42:00Speaker 2: and we will waive this version of Earth. Goodbye with
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: all the nonsense and all the wickedness, and the full
- 1:42:06Speaker 2: crisis and all the trouble that keep plaguing people on earth.
- 1:42:13Speaker 9: Rejoice only if you.
- 1:42:14Speaker 2: Are saved, because I'm about to tell you the other
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: side of the story. Listen carefully, the Bible says in
- 1:42:23Speaker 2: that moment, I don't mean to scare you, but please
- 1:42:27Speaker 2: listen to the other version. The greatest catastrophy more than
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: World War two, is what will be happening coincidentally, because
- 1:42:38Speaker 2: when about two point six billion people professing Christians exit
- 1:42:45Speaker 2: this heath in a moment, what if the person exiting
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: is the pilot flying you. What if the person exiting
- 1:42:58Speaker 2: is the one responsible for some When you clip plant
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: somewhere you think they will wait for you. Now, I
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: mean what I'm saying. That moment, just like this, and
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: that's it. You will see Bibles on earth. You will
- 1:43:17Speaker 2: see him books left in churches. Unfortunately, there will still
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: be many people in those buildings and they will say,
- 1:43:25Speaker 2: what has suddenly happened The Bible says two people will
- 1:43:29Speaker 2: be lying together. One will leave and leave the other
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: one there. Others will be granting their thing to go
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: and cook for their families. The other one will say,
- 1:43:36Speaker 2: no more issue of cooking. I'm on my way going,
- 1:43:40Speaker 2: and you will see that glorious exit. We will wave
- 1:43:46Speaker 2: this version of eath goodbye. Do you know why, because
- 1:43:51Speaker 2: of the power of His resurrection. At that point, death
- 1:43:56Speaker 2: will no longer have power over us. Will not live
- 1:44:00Speaker 2: by blood again. No, the reign of living by blood ends.
- 1:44:06Speaker 2: The moment that trumpet sounds, the ministry of blood in
- 1:44:10Speaker 2: our lives would have come to an end. We will
- 1:44:13Speaker 2: live by another life. The reality, the fullness of the
- 1:44:19Speaker 2: endnest of that expectation, that that ministry of the spirit,
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: the culmination of that salvation experience happens. And we are
- 1:44:28Speaker 2: with Jesus. And let me tell you this. I don't
- 1:44:30Speaker 2: mean to scare you. It is that catastrophe on earth
- 1:44:35Speaker 2: that will lead to the ministry of the Antichrist. Are
- 1:44:38Speaker 2: you seeing now? The chaos in the earth would be
- 1:44:40Speaker 2: too much. There will be a need for a religious
- 1:44:43Speaker 2: and a political leader to bring the earth in.
- 1:44:45Speaker 9: Peace, because the chaos will be too much.
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: Nations and governments will crumble overnight, and a world leader
- 1:44:55Speaker 2: will come and say find peace. His intelligence and acumen,
- 1:45:00Speaker 2: he will bring a level of peace that you cannot imagine.
- 1:45:07Speaker 2: And with that peace, the Bible says, for a period
- 1:45:10Speaker 2: of about three and a half years, and then you
- 1:45:12Speaker 2: will unleash hell, hell that will make World War two
- 1:45:16Speaker 2: look like humanitarian services. I don't mean to scare you.
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: This is the word of God. It's called written judgment.
- 1:45:27Speaker 2: No prayer warrior can change it. All over the world,
- 1:45:36Speaker 2: and even in this place you are listening to me.
- 1:45:39Speaker 2: The resurrection is God's determination to see that will never
- 1:45:49Speaker 2: end up in eternal damnation. Celebrating is that by just
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: eating chicken and jumping and saying WHOA, I'm happy is
- 1:45:57Speaker 2: a complete waste of that event. The ceremony of it
- 1:46:02Speaker 2: is not where the power comes from. It is the
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: commemoration of it. The commemoration of it means.
- 1:46:08Speaker 9: That you take to heart the significance of it.
- 1:46:15Speaker 2: Someday Jesus is going to come. What's that song in
- 1:46:22Speaker 2: my spirit? Taking her for me? Please, Jesus Christ, the
- 1:46:26Speaker 2: Son of God. You've forgotten it? Sing it to halleluyah.
- 1:46:33Speaker 2: Hea Rose.
- 1:46:39Speaker 4: Halluyah Herellos the Prince of his.
- 1:46:44Speaker 11: Sorrow, Hall yeah, ro Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
- 1:47:03Speaker 2: Rod. Here's my question, m hm. When we all rise
- 1:47:32Speaker 2: and this life is over as we know it, no
- 1:47:36Speaker 2: more banks, no more universities, no more oil and gas,
- 1:47:45Speaker 2: no more certificates, no more going to the mall to
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: buy anything. All the terrorists will leave them there. I
- 1:47:56Speaker 2: don't know who they were at. Everything you've been trying
- 1:48:02Speaker 2: to hide in your house, you're about to go and
- 1:48:04Speaker 2: live it. The pitch you dog in your house to
- 1:48:08Speaker 2: hide money. You will leave it there as you go.
- 1:48:13Speaker 2: Can I tell you I hate to be a bearer
- 1:48:16Speaker 2: of bad news, but some of you, as you are now,
- 1:48:20Speaker 2: you are not going. I'm not a prophet of doom.
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: It is by the integrity of God's world. There are
- 1:48:28Speaker 2: people who will laugh at us when they hear us
- 1:48:31Speaker 2: say these things, as though we're just doing some spiritual gibberish.
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: Can I tell you everybody in Hell is a believer.
- 1:48:40Speaker 2: The only difference is that they believe too late. I
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: don't want to scare you with all the eschatological realities
- 1:48:47Speaker 2: that will happen after this first flight, that all those
- 1:48:51Speaker 2: who do not make this first flight. Let me tell
- 1:48:53Speaker 2: you what will happen. The Bible says, because of the
- 1:48:56Speaker 2: torture and the persecution that will happen that who will
- 1:49:00Speaker 2: go to the mountain. I'm beg dead. This death you
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: are running away from now people will look for it
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: and death to say my ministry is over. If not
- 1:49:08Speaker 2: I can't, people will beg death when hell and everything
- 1:49:18Speaker 2: to be unleashed, to be unleashed. Now listen, please, I
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: didn't come just to scare you, nor did I come
- 1:49:27Speaker 2: to flatter you and lie to you. Paul said that
- 1:49:32Speaker 2: I may know him. I'm the power of his resurrection.
- 1:49:41Speaker 1: Some glad morning when there's live is so.
- 1:49:48Speaker 2: Ah li away when I die, Hall bye and bye ah.
- 1:50:05Speaker 2: Can I tell you this? The question I want to
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: ask is some of you will be on your way
- 1:50:14Speaker 2: going and you will look down and you will see
- 1:50:15Speaker 2: your biological murder behind. Some of you will get up
- 1:50:23Speaker 2: and you are already that power of resurrection is already
- 1:50:26Speaker 2: in you. But you will turn and see all your siblings.
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: They will say what is happening? And you have to leave.
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: For many people need to be a service like this,
- 1:50:42Speaker 2: maybe to even be a Collonia service. Just when I'm
- 1:50:45Speaker 2: about to pick the mic and say Hallelujah. The only
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: thing you will see is your mic dropping on the ground.
- 1:50:51Speaker 2: The fact that you can see it means you're in trouble.
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: Can I tell you please look up? By the privilege
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: of God's grace and by reason of what I do.
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: I'm not a medical doctor, but I have stood before
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: many dead bodies in my life. Many I've been in emortuary.
- 1:51:19Speaker 2: I've been locked in immortuary. Every time I look at
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: a dead body, two things come to my mind. Number One,
- 1:51:30Speaker 2: every dead body also saw a dead body in his lifetime,
- 1:51:35Speaker 2: and now he is that dead body that others are
- 1:51:38Speaker 2: looking at. Can I tell you this Money will not
- 1:51:44Speaker 2: resurrect you. Education will not resurrect you. Tides and offerings
- 1:51:55Speaker 2: will not resurrect you. M hm. There is only one
- 1:52:00Speaker 2: basis for the resurrection. Because he resurrected Jesus. He's given
- 1:52:07Speaker 2: me the basis to know that in life and in death,
- 1:52:12Speaker 2: death has been defeated spiritually.
- 1:52:15Speaker 9: And will be perfected at that last trump.
- 1:52:20Speaker 2: Why did I come to teach you today so that
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: as you celebrate Easter, you only celebrate if that power
- 1:52:29Speaker 2: of resurrection has been deposited in you by reason of
- 1:52:34Speaker 2: acknowledging the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus and placing your faith.
- 1:52:40Speaker 2: Now you can celebrate, You can enjoy and know that
- 1:52:46Speaker 2: I thank God for what has happened to me. Ladies
- 1:52:50Speaker 2: and gentlemen. For a long time we heard that Jesus
- 1:52:54Speaker 2: is coming soon, and for many people they're laughing, coming
- 1:52:59Speaker 2: soon to thou. And yes, there are two ways. Jesus
- 1:53:02Speaker 2: comes soon, he comes, or you go the day you live.
- 1:53:08Speaker 2: Jesus has come for you. Let me repeat, I'm not
- 1:53:11Speaker 2: scaring you. You will live long. But can I tell
- 1:53:13Speaker 2: you even if you live one hundred and twenty years,
- 1:53:17Speaker 2: which is a benchmark we're giving, you can stretch through right.
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: But I assure you, by God, even Lazarus, who Jesus raised,
- 1:53:26Speaker 2: still died. Everybody who was raised from the dead still died.
- 1:53:34Speaker 2: So it is not just the physical living in this body.
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: I am the resurrection and I am the life. You
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: can hear this preacher preaching and just laugh and say, wow,
- 1:53:49Speaker 2: he's preaching. Well, on that day when we leave, this
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: salmon will be behind to teach you don't give your
- 1:53:57Speaker 2: life to Christ under cruelty of the wickedness that will
- 1:54:02Speaker 2: be devil this world when we are gone.
- 1:54:04Speaker 9: Do you know what it means for the earth to
- 1:54:07Speaker 9: be pitched darkness?
- 1:54:09Speaker 2: The Bible teaches that the evangelists that will remain when
- 1:54:12Speaker 2: we are gone are the Jews, because everyone who names
- 1:54:15Speaker 2: the name of Christ will be gone. And it is
- 1:54:17Speaker 2: only some of them who, although they came from Abraham,
- 1:54:21Speaker 2: do not believe this truth. They will now go back.
- 1:54:23Speaker 2: The Bible will suddenly become the best seller. After rapture,
- 1:54:27Speaker 2: everyone will be looking for the Bible to check what
- 1:54:29Speaker 2: else will happen. We laughed at this group of people,
- 1:54:32Speaker 2: laughing at them and saying they were wasting their times.
- 1:54:36Speaker 2: Everybody will pick bibles free and have to read, and
- 1:54:39Speaker 2: they will find it there. People will cry and wail
- 1:54:43Speaker 2: and say God, come back, say no, this second one.
- 1:54:47Speaker 2: It will not just be by you dying and going.
- 1:54:50Speaker 2: The trumpet has sounded. It has sounded. Go and read
- 1:54:56Speaker 2: your Bible and see the torture that is good to
- 1:55:00Speaker 2: happen to people on account of the Antichrist, thrown through fire,
- 1:55:05Speaker 2: going through all of this that you cannot buy or
- 1:55:08Speaker 2: sell until you receive that mark on your forehead or
- 1:55:13Speaker 2: on the side of your hands. And those who escape.
- 1:55:18Speaker 2: They will go to the mountain and say follow us,
- 1:55:20Speaker 2: and it will not come. The only way out will
- 1:55:23Speaker 2: be mattired. Now you have a chance, a cheap chance
- 1:55:28Speaker 2: towards Jesus. I'm not scaring you. It's not a lie.
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: It will happen. There is no point sugar cooting it.
- 1:55:35Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, it will happen. The Bible says, if
- 1:55:39Speaker 2: our hope is only in this life, we are of
- 1:55:43Speaker 2: all men most miserable for Jesus to leave heaven and
- 1:55:49Speaker 2: come and pay that price. He knows what is at
- 1:55:51Speaker 2: the other side of that disobedience. My call for you
- 1:55:56Speaker 2: tonight is are you going to allow the walk of
- 1:56:00Speaker 2: the Cross, his death, his burial, his resurrection to just
- 1:56:07Speaker 2: waste like that because of stubbornness and rebellion. Remember, the
- 1:56:12Speaker 2: first thing that happened to man was disobedience, and the
- 1:56:16Speaker 2: first thing that happened to Satan was rebellion. Do not
- 1:56:20Speaker 2: allow a combination of rebellion and disobedience to separate you
- 1:56:25Speaker 2: from him eternally. There are people who have been mattired
- 1:56:31Speaker 2: because of this gospel. Church history is full of men
- 1:56:35Speaker 2: and women who died believing in Jesus. I can tell you,
- 1:56:41Speaker 2: even in death, they cheated death. My precious and wonderful
- 1:56:48Speaker 2: mentor Miles Monroe. Sadly he died through a plane crash.
- 1:56:55Speaker 2: It was so disheartening. Why would he die through a
- 1:56:58Speaker 2: plane crash? On I realize that he always said it
- 1:57:03Speaker 2: that in death he would cheat death. It is only
- 1:57:06Speaker 2: your body that goes. Can I tell you this, Those
- 1:57:10Speaker 2: who die ah few minutes before their actual death, they
- 1:57:15Speaker 2: don't feel any physical pain. Again, you are the only
- 1:57:18Speaker 2: one sympathizing with the pain of the body. I can't
- 1:57:20Speaker 2: tell you this. Few minutes to your death, the power
- 1:57:24Speaker 2: of this body and the pain thereof does not hold
- 1:57:27Speaker 2: on them. Again, no matter how detolerated the body is,
- 1:57:30Speaker 2: that transition is happening onto life eternal or onto eternal damnation.
- 1:57:37Speaker 2: Please look up. Let me tell you this. Anybody who
- 1:57:40Speaker 2: dies without Jesus, there is no repentance. Again. There is
- 1:57:44Speaker 2: no forgiveness. Again, I repeat, there is no repentance. Again.
- 1:57:49Speaker 2: It is painful, But there are people who have died.
- 1:57:52Speaker 2: There is no recording scripture that from the time Jesus
- 1:57:57Speaker 2: died and resurrected, anyone who dies had the gods who
- 1:58:02Speaker 2: preached to them in hell that happened before Jesus resurrected.
- 1:58:05Speaker 2: Remember Lazarus. He cried the cry and said, please. What
- 1:58:10Speaker 2: I want you to do is let somebody from this
- 1:58:13Speaker 2: place rise up and enter the world and go to
- 1:58:16Speaker 2: my family members and tell them, please, this thing is
- 1:58:19Speaker 2: real and here. The reply is that they have Moses
- 1:58:23Speaker 2: and they have the law. If they don't listen to them,
- 1:58:26Speaker 2: even if somebody comes out of the grave today, they
- 1:58:29Speaker 2: will not listen to them. You don't have to wait
- 1:58:31Speaker 2: until a dead body resurrects and tells you it is real.
- 1:58:35Speaker 2: Here and there there are people who have resurrected from
- 1:58:38Speaker 2: the dead. Others have seen nonsense. What they have sayen.
- 1:58:41Speaker 2: We know from scripture that that thing, it's not a
- 1:58:43Speaker 2: revelation from scripture at all. It's just divination. They were deceived,
- 1:58:48Speaker 2: But there have been genuine encounters of people for this
- 1:58:57Speaker 2: promise is unto you and to your children, and listen
- 1:59:02Speaker 2: to me. Don't sit back there saying I'm happy, I'm
- 1:59:05Speaker 2: glad I belong to Jesus. If you are the only
- 1:59:09Speaker 2: one who leaves out of a family of two hundred people,
- 1:59:14Speaker 2: and you are the only one who leaves, you never
- 1:59:17Speaker 2: got to tell them about Jesus. You know in schurch
- 1:59:19Speaker 2: sometimes we're afraid of saying this other part because we
- 1:59:22Speaker 2: say we don't want people. Let me tell you this,
- 1:59:25Speaker 2: Being saved and being prepared for the resurrection is more
- 1:59:30Speaker 2: than just trying to scare you. Jesus said, when the
- 1:59:33Speaker 2: Spirit comes, he will reprove the world of three things,
- 1:59:36Speaker 2: of seeing, of righteousness, and of judgment. I've not been
- 1:59:44Speaker 2: to Hell as a revelation, so i will not come
- 1:59:48Speaker 2: here and say I've seen demons. I've seen all kinds
- 1:59:51Speaker 2: of wicked spirits, but I've not been given the privilege
- 1:59:55Speaker 2: to go to Hell to see it. But let me
- 1:59:57Speaker 2: tell you the truth. The Lake of Fire, even Hell,
- 2:00:01Speaker 2: is real. Believe us. At Easter, God mandates that we
- 2:00:10Speaker 2: take a review number one of our lives and our destinies.
- 2:00:14Speaker 2: Number two, we become active intercessors for those who are
- 2:00:18Speaker 2: not saved, because let me tell you the catastrophe that
- 2:00:22Speaker 2: happens when the church leaves. Even your enemy, you will
- 2:00:25Speaker 2: not want him to go through that kind of thing.
- 2:00:28Speaker 2: Believe me, I told you that the catastrophe that will
- 2:00:31Speaker 2: come to Earth will make World War two look like
- 2:00:35Speaker 2: humanitarian services. What then, is the significance of Easter. Number one,
- 2:00:45Speaker 2: it is a time of gratitude to God for this
- 2:00:49Speaker 2: eternal escape from damnation. Gratitude to God for using his
- 2:00:58Speaker 2: blood and his sacrifice on the cross to bring for
- 2:01:04Speaker 2: us this eternal escape from damnation, translating us from the
- 2:01:09Speaker 2: kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His eternal son.
- 2:01:15Speaker 2: Number two. What is the significance of Is that a
- 2:01:21Speaker 2: moment of reflection? A moment of reflection? What does it
- 2:01:26Speaker 2: mean to reflect? To think deeply so that you continue
- 2:01:32Speaker 2: to work in the truths that you have received and
- 2:01:38Speaker 2: so that you continue to guard jealously. In another teaching,
- 2:01:44Speaker 2: I hope in one of the series before the year ends,
- 2:01:47Speaker 2: will be able to deal with this issue. I hope
- 2:01:50Speaker 2: I will remember to bring it once saved? Are you
- 2:01:54Speaker 2: always saved? I will answide during that series and will
- 2:01:59Speaker 2: hopefully bring to end the confusion of what we call
- 2:02:02Speaker 2: eternal security or do you have to keep working out
- 2:02:05Speaker 2: your salvation in both dimensions? I have had disastrous imbalances
- 2:02:11Speaker 2: on both sides, and I trust that God will give
- 2:02:13Speaker 2: us perspective to understand and will be answering questions like
- 2:02:17Speaker 2: can I believe I lose his salvation? If yes, what
- 2:02:21Speaker 2: is the condition are we together? So is that is
- 2:02:27Speaker 2: a moment of number one thanksgiving. Number two sober reflection.
- 2:02:33Speaker 2: Number three is star should be a moment of active
- 2:02:39Speaker 2: soul winning, active evangelism. One of the greatest ways to
- 2:02:45Speaker 2: commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ is to be sure
- 2:02:49Speaker 2: to declare to someone, go tell it on the bounding
- 2:02:56Speaker 2: over the use everywhere.
- 2:03:00Speaker 8: Yeh, go telling on the.
- 2:03:05Speaker 2: Turgy. Let me jellue Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 2:03:11Speaker 2: I'm both older new school. We have to be careful
- 2:03:14Speaker 2: at some of these things we have thrown out. We
- 2:03:17Speaker 2: have replaced some of these songs. You see, I'm not
- 2:03:20Speaker 2: talking about the songs. I'm talking about the ideas. The
- 2:03:23Speaker 2: average believer today is not sole winning conscious. We are
- 2:03:27Speaker 2: receiving conscious. Don't get me wrong. God wants to give
- 2:03:31Speaker 2: us all things really to enjoy. But the average believer
- 2:03:34Speaker 2: is not evangelical in his thinking, especially Pentecostals and Charismatics.
- 2:03:40Speaker 2: Sol winning zero.
- 2:03:42Speaker 9: Our idea of soul winning sadly and.
- 2:03:44Speaker 2: Respectfully, for most people is just a strategy for addition
- 2:03:49Speaker 2: of church membership. Listen carefully, Listen carefully, and there is
- 2:03:54Speaker 2: nothing wrong with that because until you have membership, you
- 2:03:59Speaker 2: can not trained and mentor them. The institution of the
- 2:04:03Speaker 2: church is the only platform that is able to mentor
- 2:04:06Speaker 2: and raise believers. If everyone seated looking at me now
- 2:04:12Speaker 2: convenance with God, that to honor this ist Lord, I
- 2:04:17Speaker 2: will bring you the gift of two souls, three souls.
- 2:04:21Speaker 2: Think how many people would be saved just to read
- 2:04:24Speaker 2: this pier. We used to sing a song those days.
- 2:04:28Speaker 2: We take it down for me. So I don't shout
- 2:04:30Speaker 2: in Anglican mast I go and mty and.
- 2:04:38Speaker 4: Mast I meet my safe, your soul not one soul
- 2:04:45Speaker 4: with which to greet him masni empty and then.
- 2:04:52Speaker 2: Go Okay, Jesus Christ, I made it. You bring us
- 2:05:00Speaker 2: a gift nothing I brought myself. Be grateful that I
- 2:05:03Speaker 2: am safe. You will become like that man with one
- 2:05:06Speaker 2: talent who said, I know you're a hard man. You
- 2:05:09Speaker 2: like ripping when you did not. So it's not enough
- 2:05:14Speaker 2: to be saved. You must ensure that through your life.
- 2:05:20Speaker 2: Imagine how many people will walk up to you in
- 2:05:22Speaker 2: heaven and look at you and tap you, and he
- 2:05:25Speaker 2: said who are you? You say, you may not remember, but.
- 2:05:29Speaker 5: Theyk you forgiving to the Lord.
- 2:05:37Speaker 1: I am alive.
- 2:05:39Speaker 2: That was saved.
- 2:05:44Speaker 8: Fak you.
- 2:05:47Speaker 2: Forgiving to the Lord. I am so glad you came. Listen,
- 2:06:01Speaker 2: May it not be that that day you will turn
- 2:06:05Speaker 2: and see your roommates. You will turn and see somebody
- 2:06:08Speaker 2: you laugh with and eet within your office for ten
- 2:06:11Speaker 2: years and never told the person about Jesus. The person
- 2:06:17Speaker 2: drove you as a big man for fifteen years, never
- 2:06:21Speaker 2: heard about Jesus Christ. And possible, I don't want to
- 2:06:27Speaker 2: fall my hand. I can tell you this, believe it
- 2:06:31Speaker 2: or not. The worst one is that you see your
- 2:06:35Speaker 2: family members. Can I tell you nobody will be spared
- 2:06:40Speaker 2: who does not have that software of the resurrection power
- 2:06:43Speaker 2: of Jesus that trump and in the moment all of
- 2:06:50Speaker 2: us in Christ will arrive. For some of you, the
- 2:06:54Speaker 2: Lord Jesus will tell you remember that night in Koinonia
- 2:06:58Speaker 2: when my son was you loved at the jokes, but
- 2:07:02Speaker 2: when it was time for a not to call, you
- 2:07:04Speaker 2: sat down, when my spirit was telling you this is
- 2:07:06Speaker 2: the moment of destiny. We will not be here forever,
- 2:07:19Speaker 2: whether we like it or not. That is the truth.
- 2:07:21Speaker 2: Our goal is to live as long as our assignments demand,
- 2:07:26Speaker 2: serving the purposes of God and living victoriously. What can
- 2:07:31Speaker 2: I tell you you can have assurance today of salvation
- 2:07:36Speaker 2: and you can tap into that resurrection power. There is
- 2:07:40Speaker 2: such a doctrine of the resurrection. Our hope is not
- 2:07:44Speaker 2: only in this life. I will pray for you to
- 2:07:47Speaker 2: prosper always. I will pray for you to increase always.
- 2:07:52Speaker 2: I will pray for you to do well always. But
- 2:07:55Speaker 2: my greatest joy is not that you receive these things.
- 2:07:58Speaker 2: My consolation should be at the back of your prosperity,
- 2:08:02Speaker 2: at the back of your increase. You have settled it
- 2:08:05Speaker 2: with God, and that power of resurrection dwells within you.
- 2:08:09Speaker 2: And you know that, whether in life or in death,
- 2:08:13Speaker 2: you are victorious. Till he returns or calls me hearing
- 2:08:24Speaker 2: the power of Christ. I snay, what height of love?
- 2:08:32Speaker 2: What that?
- 2:08:33Speaker 7: Till he returns.
- 2:08:45Speaker 2: Or calls him.
- 2:08:49Speaker 8: Heaving the power of Christ.
- 2:08:57Speaker 2: I remember many years ago watching ren had borne on
- 2:09:00Speaker 2: that crusade ground. I was already saved, but I watched him.
- 2:09:04Speaker 2: I followed his ministry very carefully, and I saw times
- 2:09:08Speaker 2: when he started getting old. I remember the last time
- 2:09:12Speaker 2: he came for his crusade in Legos, as though he
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: knew it would be his last. The day they said
- 2:09:19Speaker 2: he had gone. I said, my God, this man was
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: once alive and now he's gone. Hear me, there are
- 2:09:27Speaker 2: people who were alive as a January this year, some
- 2:09:32Speaker 2: have gone. In fact, there were those who were alive yesterday.
- 2:09:39Speaker 2: I would never mean you evil, and as far as
- 2:09:42Speaker 2: my assignment is concerned, I will keep speaking life so
- 2:09:45Speaker 2: that you will have that body healthy and prepared to
- 2:09:48Speaker 2: leave your assignment. But can I tell you it is
- 2:09:51Speaker 2: not a wise way to fear death. The purpose of
- 2:09:55Speaker 2: longevity is not the fear of death. The purpose of
- 2:09:57Speaker 2: longevity is the time and the enable meant to fulfill
- 2:10:00Speaker 2: the purposes of God given to you. Look at me,
- 2:10:06Speaker 2: I want you to kill the fear of death this night.
- 2:10:10Speaker 2: To be absent in the body is to be present
- 2:10:14Speaker 2: with the Lord and if he comes, hallelujah, tying the glory,
- 2:10:20Speaker 2: halleluya ham halllllua.
- 2:10:26Speaker 5: Time reade.
- 2:10:33Speaker 2: Before we pray, we're going to have three minutes of intercession.
- 2:10:39Speaker 2: That would be our corporate gift as a mini is
- 2:10:42Speaker 2: free to the Lord Jesus at this star to say, Lord,
- 2:10:45Speaker 2: the least we can do is to intercede for the
- 2:10:49Speaker 2: next two minutes for souls. But before we do that,
- 2:10:53Speaker 2: I want to make a daughter call while you are
- 2:10:56Speaker 2: still seated. There's no point playing games. Can I tell you?
- 2:11:00Speaker 2: If you take seriously what I'm saying, God can give
- 2:11:04Speaker 2: you a chance to make it right. I don't need
- 2:11:06Speaker 2: to catchele you. No matter how stubborn your spirit is.
- 2:11:09Speaker 2: The Holy Ghost must have penetrated it to tell you
- 2:11:12Speaker 2: that this issue of life and destiny, this is it.
- 2:11:16Speaker 9: You are saying, Apostle, while.
- 2:11:18Speaker 2: I'm seated here, I cannot say for sure that if
- 2:11:22Speaker 2: I die today it is heaven. There are others who
- 2:11:26Speaker 2: are saying if Jesus comes, I may be part of
- 2:11:29Speaker 2: the many you are saying will be left behind. I
- 2:11:32Speaker 2: don't mean to scare you, but listen to me. I'm
- 2:11:36Speaker 2: going to count one to three. Give your destiny a
- 2:11:39Speaker 2: chance win that war, or you are saying, Apostle, I
- 2:11:43Speaker 2: think I remember making this call, but as it is,
- 2:11:46Speaker 2: my life has gone haywire. I came to church. I
- 2:11:48Speaker 2: don't want to play games. I want you to run
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: and come and stand here. Nobody will force you. But
- 2:11:54Speaker 2: on that day, there used to be a song we
- 2:11:56Speaker 2: used to sing before. What's the song now? On the lastsday?
- 2:12:04Speaker 2: On the lastsday, only to be leave us.
- 2:12:14Speaker 8: On the lastday, only on the Liday.
- 2:12:42Speaker 2: Can I tell you, if you know you are going
- 2:12:44Speaker 2: to hell, run out at commands, stand here, don't do
- 2:12:47Speaker 2: big monism for your eternal destiny.
- 2:12:50Speaker 9: No, it is not a wise choice of first, I'm
- 2:12:54Speaker 9: not sure. Join them and be sure.
- 2:12:56Speaker 2: There is such a thing called the assurance of salvation.
- 2:12:59Speaker 2: Don't mind all the naysayers who are saying you are
- 2:13:01Speaker 2: coming out. It's better to come out five times and
- 2:13:04Speaker 2: be sure than to sit back in assumption and go
- 2:13:07Speaker 2: to Hell. Come to Jesus. Come to him, one son
- 2:13:16Speaker 2: for all. Come to him. Everyone you see who is
- 2:13:23Speaker 2: not coming out must have made this decision, so there
- 2:13:26Speaker 2: is nothing embarrassing about it. If you are coming, all
- 2:13:29Speaker 2: the overflows, please make sure you stand there. We're going
- 2:13:32Speaker 2: to interseide. But I thought to do this so that
- 2:13:34Speaker 2: I get it out of the way quickly. Please come apostle.
- 2:13:39Speaker 2: I've been going to church. I confess that I've been
- 2:13:41Speaker 2: one of the people laughing at preachers. Don't worry. We
- 2:13:44Speaker 2: forgive you. God loves you. Join them, join them. You
- 2:13:47Speaker 2: have to be saved. After this, you can now say
- 2:13:54Speaker 2: happy is time and really believe what you are saying.
- 2:13:58Speaker 2: There is nothing happy about the east to a soul
- 2:14:00Speaker 2: that is determined to be done.
- 2:14:08Speaker 1: First will we passed from the earth and it's toll.
- 2:14:15Speaker 2: Only remember we have done. Come. I'll give you one
- 2:14:27Speaker 2: more minutes. I know there are so many people, but
- 2:14:30Speaker 2: there is still room. There is still room. Come to Jesus,
- 2:14:35Speaker 2: and those of you who are sitting, you shouldn't be looking.
- 2:14:37Speaker 2: You should be praying because while from this altar call,
- 2:14:43Speaker 2: now we're going to get into praying just five minutes.
- 2:14:46Speaker 2: If you cannot invest five minutes of your intercessory ministry
- 2:14:50Speaker 2: for souls, you are not a lover of God. There's
- 2:14:53Speaker 2: no need or in anywhere I want to pray. Listen
- 2:14:57Speaker 2: to me, those of you who are here, lea look
- 2:15:00Speaker 2: at me. The idea is not to scare you, but
- 2:15:04Speaker 2: the idea is to leave you with the truth. Jesus
- 2:15:07Speaker 2: died and rose. You two call my guilds and shame
- 2:15:18Speaker 2: when you die and rose again.
- 2:15:21Speaker 1: Now to take your rain in heaven aving.
- 2:15:29Speaker 2: I really want to worship you, my Lord.
- 2:15:33Speaker 7: You have won my heart and I amos.
- 2:15:38Speaker 8: Forever and never.
- 2:15:42Speaker 2: I will love you.
- 2:15:46Speaker 11: Are the only one who died for me, gave your
- 2:15:51Speaker 11: life to set me free.
- 2:15:55Speaker 2: So I leave my voice to you in now. May
- 2:16:04Speaker 2: I please request. I know that there are so many
- 2:16:07Speaker 2: of you. Some of you are crying. There's no need
- 2:16:09Speaker 2: to cry someday because of this decision you have made.
- 2:16:15Speaker 2: Who have not that kind of coin on here, not
- 2:16:18Speaker 2: in this place. Do you know their reason? Other fellowship,
- 2:16:30Speaker 2: the reason live your right hand. Please say after me,
- 2:16:38Speaker 2: all of you. You may cry, but say it. Jesus
- 2:16:43Speaker 2: is here. Let him hear you. In one minute, Please
- 2:16:47Speaker 2: say after me, from the depth of your heart, say
- 2:16:50Speaker 2: Lord Jesus, I come to you tonight, just as I
- 2:16:57Speaker 2: am unable to help myself. I have heard your word tonight,
- 2:17:04Speaker 2: I need you say it again. I need you in
- 2:17:08Speaker 2: my life. I need the power of resurrection in my spirits.
- 2:17:16Speaker 2: I confess you as my savior, the one who died
- 2:17:22Speaker 2: for me, as my Lord, the one my allegiance is towards,
- 2:17:28Speaker 2: and as my king, the governor of my destiny. I
- 2:17:34Speaker 2: receive eternal life into my spirits. And I declare that,
- 2:17:41Speaker 2: as Jesus defeated seen the grave, death and Hell, I
- 2:17:50Speaker 2: also by this confession I declare my victory over Sein,
- 2:17:57Speaker 2: over Hell, over death, over the grave. I declare that
- 2:18:03Speaker 2: I have eternal life. The resurrection power now lives within me.
- 2:18:09Speaker 2: I am a child of God, victorious on ed and
- 2:18:13Speaker 2: victorious even after this life. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen,
- 2:18:19Speaker 2: and Amen, let me pray for your father by their
- 2:18:23Speaker 2: confessions of faith. I decree and declare that indeed they
- 2:18:27Speaker 2: not only have salvation, but they have the assurance of salvation.
- 2:18:34Speaker 2: Let nothing ever pluck them from your hand. In the
- 2:18:37Speaker 2: name of Jesus, Lord, you will save them, You will
- 2:18:40Speaker 2: keep them, you will establish them. Now I pray for
- 2:18:44Speaker 2: you the fear of death and doubt, whether you belong
- 2:18:48Speaker 2: to Jesus or not. I command that thought to leave
- 2:18:51Speaker 2: your destiny forever. Let me remind you that you are
- 2:18:57Speaker 2: not saved just by what you have done. Is able
- 2:19:00Speaker 2: to save himself by the works of the law. It
- 2:19:02Speaker 2: is vanity, and it is vain. You are only saved
- 2:19:05Speaker 2: because you believe in this reality. That Jesus came, He
- 2:19:10Speaker 2: walked upon the heath, he died, went to Hell, defeated, Hell,
- 2:19:15Speaker 2: death seen, and the grave resurrected. Try your family, and
- 2:19:19Speaker 2: now he leaves and abides forever. Now hear me. Please,
- 2:19:23Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, let me encourage you make up your
- 2:19:27Speaker 2: mind to continue to pursue that which makes for your
- 2:19:30Speaker 2: spiritual establishment, even as you have done. The House of
- 2:19:34Speaker 2: God is where we are built, where we are established.
- 2:19:38Speaker 2: It's not just going to church like coming to be
- 2:19:40Speaker 2: a member of a church. It is more than that.
- 2:19:42Speaker 2: It is being planted in the House of God so
- 2:19:45Speaker 2: that you will flourish in the courts of our God.
- 2:19:48Speaker 2: Now there are a number of you, and I know
- 2:19:51Speaker 2: that a number of you are rededicating your lives to Christ.
- 2:19:55Speaker 2: I presume, counselors, you can manage both sets. Those who
- 2:19:58Speaker 2: are making that decision the time you can group them
- 2:20:01Speaker 2: so you spend more time those who are rededicating their lives.
- 2:20:05Speaker 2: Because of the crowd, I'm not sure that because we
- 2:20:07Speaker 2: have to get into a preyer session now, so you
- 2:20:09Speaker 2: can just pray so that they can return back to
- 2:20:11Speaker 2: their seats there are so many people, and so that
- 2:20:13Speaker 2: it can ease of the work for the counselors. Our
- 2:20:16Speaker 2: focus primarily now as far as follow up. Its concern
- 2:20:20Speaker 2: is those who are safe for the first time. So
- 2:20:22Speaker 2: let me encourage you as you go. Those who are
- 2:20:25Speaker 2: this is the first time you are making this decision.
- 2:20:28Speaker 2: It's an opportunity for you. They will ask you to
- 2:20:30Speaker 2: be grouped somewhere else. Please move there so they can
- 2:20:33Speaker 2: just speak a word of prayer for those who are
- 2:20:35Speaker 2: rededicating their lives, and then they rush back away together.
- 2:20:39Speaker 2: But for now me, I request that you please move
- 2:20:41Speaker 2: to my right, which is your left. Let's celebrate them,
- 2:20:44Speaker 2: a number of them. Okay, we're splitting into two right
- 2:20:52Speaker 2: from where I'm standing. All those who are here, please
- 2:20:55Speaker 2: go this way, and then the remaining go that way.
- 2:20:57Speaker 2: Thank you. We're helping to manage because of the number
- 2:21:01Speaker 2: of people. Let's celebrate them as they go. Hallelujah. Now
