- 0:17Speaker 1: Verse one. Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly Calling,
- 0:23Speaker 1: consider the apostle and high priest of our profession, Priest
- 0:31Speaker 1: of our word profession, Jesus Christ, you welcome to faith
- 0:36Speaker 1: Feed Episode one hundred and seventy four. Priests of our profession,
- 0:42Speaker 1: Priest of our profession.
- 0:46Speaker 2: In the affairs of life, there is a path we follow.
- 0:49Speaker 1: There is a pattern we choose to word work in,
- 0:53Speaker 1: and it's in the similitude of that pattern that we
- 0:55Speaker 1: are able to come into an understanding of the word
- 1:00Speaker 1: word profession. This is a serious business, and God gives
- 1:05Speaker 1: high regards to those who are able to take off
- 1:07Speaker 1: an understanding of profession. The Bible tells us in Hebrews
- 1:12Speaker 1: chapter four, verst. For things, that's saying that we have
- 1:14Speaker 1: a great high priest. Saying that we have, he says
- 1:19Speaker 1: that it passed into the herons Jesus.
- 1:21Speaker 2: One of us says, let.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Us hold first our profession, that is this high priest
- 1:25Speaker 1: has left us a job to do, a work, business
- 1:30Speaker 1: to carry about upon the face of the earth. The
- 1:33Speaker 1: Bible said, hold first. Holding first, there is a matter
- 1:37Speaker 1: of urgency as relates this our job, description, our profession,
- 1:41Speaker 1: because if you do not hold first, there is a
- 1:44Speaker 1: tendency that you might not have the ability like he
- 1:47Speaker 1: says in the In the next verse, verse after the verse,
- 1:49Speaker 1: he says that let us versus saying let us let
- 1:52Speaker 1: us therefore come boldly. That means that boldness is a virtue.
- 1:56Speaker 1: He says, let us therefore come boldly onto the troil
- 1:59Speaker 1: of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace
- 2:02Speaker 1: in the time of meat, and find grace to help
- 2:06Speaker 1: in the time of need. Now understand that it says boldly,
- 2:08Speaker 1: That means that boldness can be affected if we do
- 2:13Speaker 1: not hold first the profession that we profess. Why do
- 2:17Speaker 1: I call it a profession that we profess? The Bible
- 2:19Speaker 1: says in first twomusty, chapter six, he says, fight the
- 2:23Speaker 1: good fight of it on the standard world.
- 2:25Speaker 2: He says, what layhold on internal life?
- 2:28Speaker 1: Whereon, too doubt at what also called it that says
- 2:32Speaker 1: and has professed, Yes, you have been called to this
- 2:35Speaker 1: internal life.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Yes, you believe in Christ.
- 2:38Speaker 1: He says that you have professed a good profession before
- 2:43Speaker 1: many witnesses. Now this is a strategic scripture showing us
- 2:47Speaker 1: the fact that there are several things at play, not
- 2:51Speaker 1: just the witnesses, but there is also a confession. So
- 2:54Speaker 1: it is what you profess that becomes your what profession? Yes,
- 3:00Speaker 1: the word profession in the new translation of the English
- 3:03Speaker 1: NIV and all the ESD it tells us confession. We
- 3:08Speaker 1: should hold first our confession. We have professed it. So
- 3:13Speaker 1: I am a banker, I am a lawyer, I am
- 3:15Speaker 1: an engineer, I am an accountanct. Whatever I am is
- 3:19Speaker 1: a function of the reality that I have professed to
- 3:24Speaker 1: be it, that I have confessed to be it. Yes,
- 3:30Speaker 1: of course there is a legal basis by which you
- 3:32Speaker 1: become a professional. You must understand that our own legal
- 3:37Speaker 1: basis as Christians is what there is a high priest,
- 3:41Speaker 1: high priest, high priest. That means when we say that
- 3:45Speaker 1: we are professing a good profession, it is by virtue
- 3:48Speaker 1: of the fact that we have been schooled by a high.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Priest, by virtue of Jesus Christ.
- 3:54Speaker 1: We are talking about the talent spirit that has been
- 3:57Speaker 1: given to a schooled by the whole spirit. So your
- 4:02Speaker 1: confession actually banks on what the weakness of the spirit,
- 4:07Speaker 1: the spirit of Christ within your Roman shatter. It's see, no,
- 4:11Speaker 1: people will not know that you are staying business if
- 4:13Speaker 1: you do not if you do not profess your profession,
- 4:15Speaker 1: if you do not confess, learn the way of confession.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Confession doesn't always amount to same confession and atonement of
- 4:24Speaker 1: saying no. Confession is a statement of truth that reveals
- 4:31Speaker 1: itself in certain moments in order to enable a man
- 4:36Speaker 1: what steps into the fullness of what a possibility. The
- 4:41Speaker 1: Bible says, confess. You're saying, James, wife, confess, you're saying,
- 4:44Speaker 1: since one to another, that you may be healed. So
- 4:48Speaker 1: so healing comes by what a confession. And most times
- 4:54Speaker 1: it is not confession as to say, it is confession
- 4:57Speaker 1: as to appropriating what the truth bringing. For the truth
- 5:01Speaker 1: of the Gospel, the Lord has delivered me from the
- 5:03Speaker 1: strides of the people by his stribes.
- 5:05Speaker 2: I'm here.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Look, you can be a lawyer, you can be an
- 5:08Speaker 1: engineer and not being demand because of this, exactly because
- 5:12Speaker 1: of your confession, because of what you profess to be.
- 5:18Speaker 2: What am I trying to say?
- 5:19Speaker 1: Your profession must be your confession before a manifestation.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Your profession was what being your confession before what?
- 5:28Speaker 1: You can see any manifestation at all in any area
- 5:32Speaker 1: of your life.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Note this.
- 5:35Speaker 1: If you have not believed well enough to say it,
- 5:39Speaker 1: to confess it, then you have not started your professional Yes,
- 5:43Speaker 1: I'm an engineer and work whatever. If you have not
- 5:45Speaker 1: believe well, if you are most audied, if you have
- 5:48Speaker 1: not come out with a certificate our high princess.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Our certificate is our miniate? Or is our advocate? Is
- 5:54Speaker 2: our intercess? Is the certificate with present?
- 5:56Speaker 1: If you do not, you can have a certificate and
- 5:59Speaker 1: not what work in the fullness of that capacity and ability.
- 6:03Speaker 1: If you avoid of the word confession, it is confession
- 6:07Speaker 1: that leads you into your profession.
- 6:09Speaker 2: It is what you say. This is what you say.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Start from saying it. Yes, start from the world was
- 6:16Speaker 1: created by it. Starts from saying it. Start from saying it.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Whatever you want to, start from saying it. It is
- 6:23Speaker 1: from your starting. If you are not comfortable hearing yourself
- 6:28Speaker 1: speak who you are before.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Men, you will not begin.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Your professing your profession. You know who you are in Christ.
- 6:36Speaker 1: It's not hidden. You already know who you are in Christ.
- 6:39Speaker 1: So what stops you from what's professing a good profession?
- 6:42Speaker 2: Then are witnesses everywhere? Then are with the people watching?
- 6:46Speaker 1: What stops you from professing a good profession? The answer
- 6:53Speaker 1: is double mindedness. James tells us a double minded man
- 6:58Speaker 1: is unstable if it tells us that what If a
- 7:02Speaker 1: man is what doesn't act in fit, he will not
- 7:05Speaker 1: receive anything from God. If a man doesn't confess, doesn't
- 7:09Speaker 1: profess a good profession, he will not you get the
- 7:12Speaker 1: point us, So he has to wor not be a man,
- 7:16Speaker 1: a double minded man. He must not be dogle minded.
- 7:20Speaker 1: He must not be double minded. Double Minded simply means
- 7:24Speaker 1: to have two options and you don't know which one
- 7:29Speaker 1: to take or which one is better than the other.
- 7:31Speaker 2: That's double minded is me.
- 7:33Speaker 1: And do you know one of the things that double
- 7:36Speaker 1: mindedness tends to achieve. Understand this tends to achieve is
- 7:40Speaker 1: no mobility, no movement. That means you neither take care
- 7:44Speaker 1: nor dare. If you are double minded, you can't take
- 7:46Speaker 1: a move, You can't move, you can't step at him,
- 7:48Speaker 1: you can't profess a good profession, you can't confess. If
- 7:52Speaker 1: you're double minded, you can't. You have to, Like I said,
- 7:55Speaker 1: you have to confess till the point that you are
- 7:58Speaker 1: comfortable getting people share, dealing with people your what your profession.
- 8:03Speaker 1: People that are not double minded, they skilled to even
- 8:05Speaker 1: with little faith. They scaled through the economy of what
- 8:10Speaker 1: thes why because they are not double minded. Double mindedness
- 8:15Speaker 1: causes dealing is the spirit that causes dealing is the
- 8:17Speaker 1: spirit that causes work. Stagnation is a spirit that hinders
- 8:21Speaker 1: a lot of people from moving forward in life. And
- 8:26Speaker 1: the cure is found in Romance eight. Romance, Chapter eight,
- 8:31Speaker 1: reading from verse four, it says that the righteousness of
- 8:34Speaker 1: the law might be fulfilled. And us who work not
- 8:36Speaker 1: after the flesh, but after the spirit. For the day
- 8:39Speaker 1: that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Of course, it will be conscious. When it says mind,
- 8:43Speaker 1: it's talking about the place of consciousness, and that place
- 8:46Speaker 1: of consciousness is a default state. That's the diffault mood
- 8:49Speaker 1: that this kind of unbelievers may speait that way this will.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Have is what.
- 8:54Speaker 1: It's a flesh, it says what, and today that are
- 8:56Speaker 1: after the spirit mind thinks of the speed them. It's
- 8:58Speaker 1: these people that outens with their conscious that means their
- 9:01Speaker 1: default state is always in tuned to what the spirit
- 9:06Speaker 1: it says for it, to be kindly minded is what
- 9:08Speaker 1: leads to death, and what to be spiritually minded.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Least to life and peace. That's the cure.
- 9:14Speaker 1: That means you look at this thing from the lens
- 9:17Speaker 1: of the spiritual exactly. And one of the simple, simple
- 9:21Speaker 1: ways to look at things from the lens of the
- 9:24Speaker 1: spiritual is does this thing lead to life? And does
- 9:28Speaker 1: it lead to peace? Anything that doesn't lead to peace
- 9:31Speaker 1: exactly is the measurement. If it doesn't lead to life
- 9:34Speaker 1: and peace, it will be double minded. That's what That's
- 9:37Speaker 1: why we said spiritually mindedness is worth the cure to
- 9:40Speaker 1: double mindedness. That's why it says life and peace. It
- 9:42Speaker 1: leads to life and peace. You get the point now, exactly.
- 9:45Speaker 1: So when James tells us that what to be doblinded
- 9:49Speaker 1: man is unstable, it simply means that there is no
- 9:52Speaker 1: peace in the arenas of Mamma. This is how we
- 9:54Speaker 1: profess a good professional. We are not double minded. We
- 9:57Speaker 1: are spiritually minded, spiritually conscious. It is our default state.
- 10:02Speaker 1: It is that default state that enables us to work,
- 10:06Speaker 1: obtain mercy, to find grace. So understand the context of that.
- 10:11Speaker 1: He brushed up off the system that's under world. He says,
- 10:13Speaker 1: what we should convode number one to thetrol of grace
- 10:17Speaker 1: number two, that we may find messy number three to
- 10:19Speaker 1: ward and find grace.
- 10:21Speaker 2: And it's at all messy. Messy brings about grace. That's
- 10:23Speaker 2: why it goes well.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Our arise and have messy upon version for this set
- 10:27Speaker 1: time to favors of grace.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Talked about a merited favor. He says, well, so that
- 10:31Speaker 2: you find help in the time of need.
- 10:33Speaker 1: So we understand that there is a contextual what arrangement
- 10:37Speaker 1: to the operations of divinity when it comes to the messy,
- 10:41Speaker 1: when it comes to the messy of God, as it
- 10:44Speaker 1: aligns to our profession while we are on.
- 10:48Speaker 2: The journey of life.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Remember this boldness comes from what the spirit spiritually minded,
- 10:55Speaker 1: the spirit of Christ Christ, who is our high priest
- 11:00Speaker 1: me and the faith compill of Christ. Remember, be God feeding,
- 11:02Speaker 1: Be God feeding. The Lord commands the angels of your
- 11:06Speaker 1: workers to be said, the Lord lift of the light
- 11:07Speaker 1: of his countenance upon you.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Blessed the God forever.
- 11:11Speaker 3: More brought to you by the fake campaigns of Christ.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Keeping the faith of Christ in the community of believers, Global, global,
