"Sin, Law, and Grace" RESCUE RADIO with Marjorie Cole

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
I have an emergency, what is your location?

2
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Rescue radio, cause there's a war for your soul.

3
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Yes, Father God, we thank you that you are victorious in that war.

4
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
You have won the war and defeated our enemy, and we are more than conquerors.

5
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
And I thank you, Lord, that your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth, in and through us.

6
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
We are your kingdom, that your will be done in us.

7
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Lord God, let us give place and agreement to your will, your spirit, moving in the midst of our own lives.

8
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
That we will give place and permission to you to live and move and have your being in us.

9
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
I thank you, Jesus, that's what you did.

10
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
You surrendered to the will of the Father, you died in our place, you died for our sins,

11
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,000
you paid the penalty, death and debt that they demanded, sin demanded.

12
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
And you have redeemed us, rescued us, ransomed us.

13
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
And that you've also given us power and authority, you've restored to us the keys of the kingdom.

14
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
You said whatever you bind is bound, whatever you loose is loose.

15
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Remember these superpowers that God has given us to forgive.

16
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
And as you listen to this today, may the Lord God give you eyes to see, ears to hear,

17
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
a heart to receive the revelation of God's truth and protection from the enemy.

18
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Through the hope, the love, the peace, the mercy of Jesus Christ. Amen.

19
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Well, we're talking about a very common subject today.

20
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
We call it, what about sin?

21
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
What is sin?

22
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
And people are so obsessed with all kinds of things that have to do with sin.

23
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000
What is sin?

24
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Well, the Bible says in 1 John that sin is a transgression of the law of God.

25
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

26
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Also, those are two biblical definitions of sin.

27
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Sin is the transgression of the law.

28
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
But the question then becomes, what is the law of God?

29
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
I mean, there's much discussion.

30
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
In the Old Testament, the whole debate constantly was about the law.

31
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Breaking the law, keeping the law.

32
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
In the Old Testament, it was the strenuous and impossible set of divine commands

33
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
issued by God through Moses.

34
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
And these divine commands were deliberately impossible

35
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
because the whole point for God giving the law was to prove to us that we couldn't keep the law.

36
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
However, people didn't get that point.

37
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
They must have missed that.

38
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Because they thought that it was all about making them,

39
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
defining them, conforming them to these strenuous things

40
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
that they would then not offend God and not sin.

41
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Well, and then God repeated several different times in the Old Testament

42
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
that this do and you shall live.

43
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Follow the law and you'll live.

44
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Right.

45
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
But nobody could follow the law.

46
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Well, you know, the purpose of the law in the Old Testament

47
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
was to guide the chosen people, God's people,

48
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
through the wilderness, through the desert,

49
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000
through the pagan, heathen cultures and societies all around them.

50
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000
So he was guiding them, the people of his people, Abraham,

51
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,000
and his descendants through that long and turbulent journey

52
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
from Egypt to Bethlehem and then to Calvary.

53
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,000
So God's purpose was simply to keep the people who followed these laws

54
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
distinct from the pagans who were following many other gods

55
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,000
and also keep them innocent from the enemy's constant accusations

56
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
that they were sinning against God or straying away from God.

57
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,000
And the law, of course, the law of Moses came long after Abraham.

58
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Right.

59
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness.

60
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
He was considered righteous because of his faith,

61
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
not because he kept the law of Moses.

62
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
The law of Moses wasn't even there yet.

63
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
This is a very important point that most people miss,

64
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
that Abraham believed God.

65
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000
What did he believe?

66
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
He believed in the promises of God, the promises God had made to him

67
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
and his descendants, he followed that, you know,

68
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000
followed his whole journey of life was in believing what God said.

69
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
So this was accounted for righteousness.

70
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000
And later, after the children of Israel had been in Egypt for 430 years,

71
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
then God gave them the standard that we call the Ten Commandments.

72
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
But there's many other commandments that were also issued among them.

73
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
But in Romans, it says, Romans 4 for 15,

74
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
interesting passage that most people would just fly by, I'm sure.

75
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Where there is no law, there is no transgression of the law.

76
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
So what does that mean?

77
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,000
And we who cares?

78
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Well, where there is no law, there is no sin.

79
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,000
There's no transgression of the law.

80
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,000
So conversely, where there is a law, there is transgression of the law.

81
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,000
And so Satan, you know, when Jesus, well, we'll finish that.

82
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,000
But when Satan saw that Jesus Christ had satisfied the demands of sin and death

83
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:16,000
and the law was no longer needed because now the way was open for grace

84
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000
and acceptance of Jesus Christ and his death and salvation.

85
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
So the law had finished its work.

86
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
It was completed, Jesus said.

87
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
When it's finished, the law is satisfied, fulfilled.

88
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
He fulfilled the law with his death on the cross.

89
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,000
The law demanded that the soul that sins should die.

90
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
So the wages of sin was death.

91
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
But Jesus became the atonement for that sin.

92
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000
And he redeemed those who, all of us, who were under sin.

93
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
He paid the debt sin demanded.

94
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
So we were released then from the wages, which was death.

95
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:59,000
So in other words, Jesus established, took down, fulfilled, finished, completed the law,

96
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000
set it aside, and he came and brought a new mandate,

97
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
which was the New Testament, the law of grace.

98
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000
So, yeah.

99
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Excuse me there.

100
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
In Galatians chapter three, verse 10.

101
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:21,000
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse.

102
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,000
For it is written, cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things

103
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
which are written in the book of the law to do them.

104
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
James says, if you keep the whole law and you offend them.

105
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
In one point, you get the ball.

106
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
A chain could be three miles long, but if one link is broken, it's a broken chain.

107
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Exactly.

108
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Verse 11 of Galatians three.

109
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God.

110
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,000
It is evident for the judge to live by faith.

111
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Yet the law is not a faith.

112
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
But the man who does them shall live by them.

113
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Christ has redeemed us from what?

114
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
The curse of the law.

115
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Having become a curse for us.

116
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000
For it is written, cursed is everyone who hangs on the tree that's on the cross.

117
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,000
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles in Christ.

118
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
That we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith.

119
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000
So the blessing of Abraham.

120
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Comes through faith.

121
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,000
It comes through obedience and believing in the promises of God.

122
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,000
But the problem is when Satan saw that the law had been satisfied.

123
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
And Jesus had finished the work.

124
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Satan was very upset.

125
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Because he wanted to keep the law as the primary focus.

126
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Which would then make sin the primary consequence of breaking the law.

127
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,000
And make him out.

128
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Then he would be justified in bringing his curses upon people.

129
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000
So in Ephesians chapter two.

130
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000
It says verse one.

131
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000
And you he made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins.

132
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000
So God made us alive.

133
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Jesus did.

134
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
In which you once walked according to the course of this world.

135
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
According to the prince of the power of the air.

136
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
The spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.

137
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Among whom you also.

138
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
We also once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh.

139
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Fulfilling the desires of the flesh.

140
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,000
And of the mind.

141
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
And were by nature children of wrath.

142
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000
And just as the others.

143
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
So he's saying the lust of the flesh.

144
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Fulfilling the desires of the flesh.

145
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,000
The mind.

146
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
This is the open door for sin.

147
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000
So these.

148
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000
We were set free from that.

149
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000
We died to that.

150
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,000
He says.

151
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
And he says.

152
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
And you he made alive who were dead.

153
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
So we are invited.

154
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
To come into that newness of life.

155
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000
He's alive.

156
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,000
We're risen from.

157
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,000
He's risen from the dead.

158
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
That allows us to enter into that.

159
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Resurrection power.

160
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000
But if you see.

161
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
What as you go on here.

162
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
That God.

163
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
We were dead.

164
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
In verse four.

165
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
But God who is rich in mercy.

166
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Because of his great love.

167
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000
With which he loved us.

168
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Even when we were dead in trespasses.

169
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
And sins of course.

170
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Made us alive together with Christ.

171
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
By grace.

172
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Listen to this.

173
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
By grace you have been saved.

174
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
And raised us up together.

175
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
To make us sit together in heavenly places.

176
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000
In Christ Jesus.

177
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,000
By grace.

178
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Not by works.

179
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Not by.

180
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
You know keeping ourselves.

181
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Perfect.

182
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000
And doing the work ourselves.

183
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,000
But by grace.

184
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,000
You know bestowed upon us.

185
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,000
As mercy.

186
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,000
And forgiveness.

187
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
That in the ages to come.

188
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
He might show.

189
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
The exceeding riches of his grace.

190
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
And his kindness.

191
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Towards us.

192
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
In Christ Jesus.

193
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,000
For by grace.

194
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,000
You have been saved.

195
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Through faith.

196
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
That not of yourselves.

197
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Is the gift of God.

198
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Not of works.

199
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000
As anyone should boast.

200
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
For we are his workmanship.

201
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Created in Christ Jesus.

202
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000
For good works.

203
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,000
So the good works.

204
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Come out of.

205
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000
The work God is doing.

206
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000
In us.

207
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Which means we're abiding in him.

208
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000
And out of that.

209
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Comes the fruit.

210
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
You have been saved.

211
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
By faith.

212
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Not of yourselves.

213
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000
So the not of yourselves.

214
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Part.

215
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Has to do with.

216
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Trying to be.

217
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Perfect.

218
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,000
I believe Satan.

219
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Has reset the standards.

220
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Again.

221
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Even for the Christian.

222
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Modern church.

223
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
And it's very wildly.

224
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Because.

225
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Actually.

226
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
His.

227
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Treacherous.

228
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Schemes.

229
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Are very.

230
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,000
They play right.

231
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Into our.

232
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Ignorance.

233
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Actually.

234
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Sin.

235
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Is our.

236
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Willing decision.

237
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000
To go against.

238
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,000
What God.

239
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Says.

240
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Disobedience.

241
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000
To God.

242
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Equals.

243
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Obedience.

244
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000
And agreement.

245
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,000
With Satan.

246
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Or obedience.

247
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,000
To the devil.

248
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Equals sin.

249
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000
So sin.

250
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Is our.

251
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Is our.

252
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Decision.

253
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000
To go against God.

254
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,000
What God says.

255
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Which is the truth.

256
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,000
And to do things.

257
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Contrary to the will of God.

258
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000
But.

259
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,000
But.

260
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Satan makes it look like.

261
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,000
The will of God.

262
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Is for us to be.

263
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,000
To not sin.

264
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Of course.

265
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,000
That's what it is.

266
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,000
But how do we get.

267
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
To be.

268
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
In our own.

269
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Strength.

270
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000
In our own.

271
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Will.

272
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Not of our own.

273
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Not of ourselves.

274
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,000
But that's what we're trying to do.

275
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,000
The will of God.

276
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Is that we be.

277
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Blessed.

278
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Do well.

279
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Prosper.

280
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Stay in the safety.

281
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Of his love.

282
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000
And follow Jesus.

283
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Who wouldn't want to do that.

284
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000
You ask.

285
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,000
But.

286
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,000
That the enemy.

287
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Twists our desires.

288
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,000
To follow Jesus.

289
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Into a mandate.

290
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,000
To be perfect.

291
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,000
To be.

292
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Sinless.

293
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000
To be.

294
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
You know.

295
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Get rid of our sin.

296
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Basically.

297
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
The purpose of the church.

298
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000
And.

299
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Satan's counterfeit.

300
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Gospel.

301
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Is.

302
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,000
To get rid of our sin.

303
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Which basically.

304
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Is a false gospel.

305
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Because our sin.

306
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Has been taken care of.

307
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Right.

308
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000
And James.

309
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Chapter one.

310
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Beginning with verse.

311
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Fourteen.

312
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Through verse.

313
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Sixteen.

314
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,000
He says.

315
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,000
But each one is tempted.

316
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
When he is drawn away.

317
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,000
By his own desires.

318
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,000
And enticed.

319
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,000
It's like the fish.

320
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Being attracted to the.

321
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000
The lure.

322
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Yeah.

323
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Exactly.

324
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Verse.

325
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Fifteen.

326
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
And he says.

327
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,000
It gives birth to sin.

328
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,000
And sin.

329
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,000
When it is.

330
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Fully.

331
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Full grown.

332
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Brings forth death.

333
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Do not be deceived.

334
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,000
My beloved brethren.

335
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,000
So.

336
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Right.

337
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,000
The part of.

338
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000
What happens.

339
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Temptation.

340
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Is that.

341
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000
In Christ.

342
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000
We become new creation.

343
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Become a new creation.

344
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,000
All things pass away.

345
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
All things become new.

346
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,000
And what he does.

347
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Is he changes.

348
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Our desires.

349
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000
You think of what.

350
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,000
The desires.

351
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000
That we have.

352
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,000
For.

353
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
I mean.

354
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Legitimately.

355
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Desires for.

356
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Food.

357
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,000
For love.

358
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,000
For.

359
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Comfort.

360
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000
For.

361
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Peace.

362
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000
All that sort of stuff.

363
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
So.

364
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000
But if we're led.

365
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Away.

366
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Of our own desires.

367
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,000
That are.

368
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Going against.

369
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,000
God.

370
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Right.

371
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Because we.

372
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,000
We're listening to the lies.

373
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Of the enemy.

374
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000
And then.

375
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
And he.

376
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000
As God.

377
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Changes.

378
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Our desires.

379
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,000
That's.

380
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,000
That's really.

381
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000
What it gets down to.

382
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,000
When there's a desire.

383
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Change.

384
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000
You don't want.

385
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Stuff anymore.

386
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,000
You don't want.

387
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Sin anymore.

388
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Because.

389
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,000
You're desiring.

390
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Righteousness.

391
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,000
You're desiring.

392
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Holiness.

393
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,000
You're desiring.

394
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,000
To.

395
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Just.

396
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,000
To love the Lord.

397
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,000
And to love.

398
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,000
One another.

399
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,000
But.

400
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
But that can be a problem.

401
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Actually.

402
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Our desire.

403
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,000
To be like God.

404
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Is exactly.

405
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000
What Satan used.

406
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000
To trick Eve.

407
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
That's exactly.

408
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Because.

409
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
So.

410
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,000
So the thing is.

411
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Your desire.

412
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,000
To be sinless.

413
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,000
So.

414
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Satan.

415
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Used.

416
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Her.

417
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
You know.

418
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Innate.

419
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Desire.

420
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000
For God.

421
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
To draw her away from God.

422
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
From truth and life.

423
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
And purity.

424
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
And actually ended up.

425
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Breaking her relationship with God.

426
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,000
By trying to be.

427
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,000
More like God.

428
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
She wanted to be more.

429
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,000
So that's why she ate off the tree.

430
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,000
She thought.

431
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Well she was enticed.

432
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Absolutely enticed.

433
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Because enticement.

434
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Attracts you to something beautiful.

435
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,000
And something that's pleasurable.

436
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
So when she looked at that fruit.

437
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,359
She says it's beautiful.

438
00:13:31,359 --> 00:13:33,479
She said it's pleasant to the eye.

439
00:13:33,479 --> 00:13:35,140
She says good for food.

440
00:13:35,140 --> 00:13:36,140
And it will make me wise.

441
00:13:36,140 --> 00:13:37,140
So she was.

442
00:13:37,140 --> 00:13:38,140
Being enticed.

443
00:13:38,140 --> 00:13:39,140
Seduced.

444
00:13:39,140 --> 00:13:40,140
By a desire.

445
00:13:40,140 --> 00:13:41,140
She had to be.

446
00:13:41,140 --> 00:13:42,140
More like God.

447
00:13:42,140 --> 00:13:43,140
Not realizing that her relationship.

448
00:13:43,140 --> 00:13:44,140
With God.

449
00:13:44,140 --> 00:13:45,140
Was already.

450
00:13:45,140 --> 00:13:46,140
Fully complete.

451
00:13:46,140 --> 00:13:47,140
And it was just a matter of.

452
00:13:47,140 --> 00:13:48,140
Walking in it.

453
00:13:48,140 --> 00:13:49,140
So Satan.

454
00:13:49,140 --> 00:13:50,140
Can use your desire.

455
00:13:50,140 --> 00:13:51,140
For good things.

456
00:13:51,140 --> 00:13:52,140
For justice.

457
00:13:52,140 --> 00:13:53,140
Truth.

458
00:13:53,140 --> 00:13:54,140
Mercy.

459
00:13:54,140 --> 00:13:55,140
Righteousness.

460
00:13:55,140 --> 00:13:56,140
Sinlessness.

461
00:13:56,140 --> 00:13:57,140
Perfection.

462
00:13:57,140 --> 00:13:58,140
He can use your desire.

463
00:13:58,140 --> 00:13:59,140
For holiness.

464
00:13:59,140 --> 00:14:00,140
Against you.

465
00:14:00,140 --> 00:14:01,140
Because he's that.

466
00:14:01,140 --> 00:14:02,140
Tricky.

467
00:14:02,140 --> 00:14:03,140
So Satan's wily schemes.

468
00:14:03,140 --> 00:14:04,140
He used those.

469
00:14:04,140 --> 00:14:05,140
Desire.

470
00:14:05,140 --> 00:14:06,140
With.

471
00:14:06,140 --> 00:14:07,140
His enticing.

472
00:14:07,140 --> 00:14:08,140
This is.

473
00:14:08,140 --> 00:14:09,140
We go back to James.

474
00:14:09,140 --> 00:14:10,140
Tempted.

475
00:14:10,140 --> 00:14:11,140
When you're enticed.

476
00:14:11,140 --> 00:14:12,140
When you're enticed.

477
00:14:12,140 --> 00:14:13,140
So he's.

478
00:14:13,140 --> 00:14:14,140
James 1.

479
00:14:14,140 --> 00:14:15,140
14.

480
00:14:15,140 --> 00:14:16,140
He's enticing.

481
00:14:16,140 --> 00:14:17,140
Luring.

482
00:14:17,140 --> 00:14:18,140
Seducing.

483
00:14:18,140 --> 00:14:19,140
Bewitching.

484
00:14:19,140 --> 00:14:20,140
Beguiling.

485
00:14:20,140 --> 00:14:21,140
Bewildering.

486
00:14:21,140 --> 00:14:22,140
He is.

487
00:14:22,140 --> 00:14:23,140
Using her desire.

488
00:14:23,140 --> 00:14:24,140
To be more like God.

489
00:14:24,140 --> 00:14:25,140
To sin against herself.

490
00:14:25,140 --> 00:14:26,140
And God.

491
00:14:26,140 --> 00:14:27,140
And this is exactly.

492
00:14:27,140 --> 00:14:28,140
What Satan does.

493
00:14:28,140 --> 00:14:29,140
All the time.

494
00:14:29,140 --> 00:14:30,140
And you know what?

495
00:14:30,140 --> 00:14:31,140
We get into that place again.

496
00:14:31,140 --> 00:14:32,140
In Ephesians.

497
00:14:32,140 --> 00:14:33,140
Where he says.

498
00:14:33,140 --> 00:14:34,140
Let's see.

499
00:14:34,140 --> 00:14:35,140
Doing it.

500
00:14:35,140 --> 00:14:36,140
Not of yourselves.

501
00:14:36,140 --> 00:14:37,140
It's a faith and grace.

502
00:14:37,140 --> 00:14:38,140
Not of yourselves.

503
00:14:38,140 --> 00:14:39,140
So.

504
00:14:39,140 --> 00:14:40,140
Whatever we're trying to do.

505
00:14:40,140 --> 00:14:41,140
Ourself.

506
00:14:41,140 --> 00:14:42,140
To amend.

507
00:14:42,140 --> 00:14:43,140
Or add to.

508
00:14:43,140 --> 00:14:44,140
Or complete.

509
00:14:44,140 --> 00:14:45,140
The work of the.

510
00:14:45,140 --> 00:14:46,140
Christ on the cross.

511
00:14:46,140 --> 00:14:47,140
Is.

512
00:14:47,140 --> 00:14:48,140
Basically an insult to the cross.

513
00:14:48,140 --> 00:14:49,140
Because you're saying.

514
00:14:49,140 --> 00:14:50,140
Well he did what he did.

515
00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:51,140
Wasn't enough.

516
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:52,140
I have to.

517
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:53,140
Be good to prove it.

518
00:14:53,140 --> 00:14:54,140
Now here's the problem.

519
00:14:54,140 --> 00:14:55,140
We're already.

520
00:14:55,140 --> 00:14:56,140
You know.

521
00:14:56,140 --> 00:14:57,140
We're being enticed.

522
00:14:57,140 --> 00:14:58,140
And that enticement.

523
00:14:58,140 --> 00:14:59,140
The law.

524
00:14:59,140 --> 00:15:00,140
In Ephesians 2.

525
00:15:00,140 --> 00:15:01,140
14.

526
00:15:01,140 --> 00:15:02,140
15.

527
00:15:02,140 --> 00:15:03,140
It's war.

528
00:15:03,140 --> 00:15:04,140
Or war.

529
00:15:04,140 --> 00:15:05,140
Between us and God.

530
00:15:05,140 --> 00:15:06,140
Now.

531
00:15:06,140 --> 00:15:07,140
Do we want enmity?

532
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:08,140
Do you want war?

533
00:15:08,140 --> 00:15:09,140
Well what is the.

534
00:15:09,140 --> 00:15:10,140
Strength of the law?

535
00:15:10,140 --> 00:15:11,140
It's sin.

536
00:15:11,140 --> 00:15:12,219
And what did the Pharisees want to do?

537
00:15:12,219 --> 00:15:13,619
They wanted to keep the law.

538
00:15:13,619 --> 00:15:15,419
So that they could keep the power.

539
00:15:15,419 --> 00:15:18,020
So that they could keep the people in fear of sinning.

540
00:15:18,020 --> 00:15:20,780
So that they could force them to do all these.

541
00:15:20,780 --> 00:15:22,380
Things that were now obsolete.

542
00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:23,659
And also just.

543
00:15:23,659 --> 00:15:25,440
Just enthroned them.

544
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,380
In their positions of power.

545
00:15:27,380 --> 00:15:28,380
And so.

546
00:15:28,380 --> 00:15:29,380
When God says.

547
00:15:29,380 --> 00:15:30,380
We're done with all this.

548
00:15:30,380 --> 00:15:31,380
This demonic.

549
00:15:31,380 --> 00:15:32,380
Enclavement.

550
00:15:32,380 --> 00:15:33,380
To the law.

551
00:15:33,380 --> 00:15:34,380
And to the.

552
00:15:34,380 --> 00:15:35,380
Keepers of the law.

553
00:15:35,380 --> 00:15:36,380
Do you want war.

554
00:15:36,380 --> 00:15:37,380
Between you and God?

555
00:15:37,380 --> 00:15:38,380
You say.

556
00:15:38,380 --> 00:15:39,380
Well.

557
00:15:39,380 --> 00:15:40,380
When I sin.

558
00:15:40,380 --> 00:15:41,380
I'm at war with God.

559
00:15:41,380 --> 00:15:42,380
Well yes.

560
00:15:42,380 --> 00:15:43,380
When you try to get rid of your sin.

561
00:15:43,380 --> 00:15:44,380
You're also at war with God.

562
00:15:44,380 --> 00:15:45,380
Because the sin has already been taken care of.

563
00:15:45,380 --> 00:15:46,380
And we haven't believed it.

564
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:47,380
So now.

565
00:15:47,380 --> 00:15:48,380
That you know.

566
00:15:48,380 --> 00:15:49,380
The commandment.

567
00:15:49,380 --> 00:15:50,380
Of our consciences.

568
00:15:50,380 --> 00:15:51,380
And the church.

569
00:15:51,380 --> 00:15:52,380
And the community.

570
00:15:52,380 --> 00:15:53,380
The message is.

571
00:15:53,380 --> 00:15:54,380
Basically.

572
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:55,380
Condensed into a couple of simple words.

573
00:15:55,380 --> 00:15:56,380
The church.

574
00:15:56,380 --> 00:15:57,380
The modern church says.

575
00:15:57,380 --> 00:15:58,380
Stop sinning.

576
00:15:58,380 --> 00:15:59,380
Get rid of sin.

577
00:15:59,380 --> 00:16:00,380
Stop sinning.

578
00:16:00,380 --> 00:16:01,380
Get rid of your sin.

579
00:16:01,380 --> 00:16:02,380
But that is actually a false gospel.

580
00:16:02,380 --> 00:16:03,380
And a trap.

581
00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:04,380
Because.

582
00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:05,380
If you knew who you were.

583
00:16:05,380 --> 00:16:06,380
We wouldn't be obsessed.

584
00:16:06,380 --> 00:16:07,380
With trying to get rid of our sin.

585
00:16:07,380 --> 00:16:08,380
And be good.

586
00:16:08,380 --> 00:16:09,380
And be perfect.

587
00:16:09,380 --> 00:16:10,380
And perform.

588
00:16:10,380 --> 00:16:11,380
And compete.

589
00:16:11,380 --> 00:16:12,380
We wouldn't be wrapped up.

590
00:16:12,380 --> 00:16:13,380
In trying harder.

591
00:16:13,380 --> 00:16:14,380
And punishing ourselves.

592
00:16:14,380 --> 00:16:15,380
And judging others.

593
00:16:15,380 --> 00:16:16,380
And judging ourselves.

594
00:16:16,380 --> 00:16:17,380
And falling into the pit.

595
00:16:17,380 --> 00:16:18,380
Of trying harder.

596
00:16:18,380 --> 00:16:19,380
Not to sin.

597
00:16:19,380 --> 00:16:20,380
If we knew who we were.

598
00:16:20,380 --> 00:16:21,380
Being afraid of sinning.

599
00:16:21,380 --> 00:16:22,380
Being afraid of sinning.

600
00:16:22,380 --> 00:16:23,380
People are afraid and not afraid.

601
00:16:23,380 --> 00:16:24,380
Of sinning.

602
00:16:24,380 --> 00:16:25,380
And we don't know.

603
00:16:25,380 --> 00:16:26,380
What God is.

604
00:16:26,380 --> 00:16:27,380
We don't know.

605
00:16:27,380 --> 00:16:28,380
But we know.

606
00:16:29,380 --> 00:16:30,380
People are afraid.

607
00:16:30,380 --> 00:16:31,380
Not only.

608
00:16:31,380 --> 00:16:32,380
You've got it.

609
00:16:32,380 --> 00:16:33,380
The one side of the coin.

610
00:16:33,380 --> 00:16:34,380
They're all about sinning.

611
00:16:34,380 --> 00:16:35,380
And they're ready to do it.

612
00:16:35,380 --> 00:16:36,380
On the drop of a hat.

613
00:16:36,380 --> 00:16:37,380
And they don't have any.

614
00:16:37,380 --> 00:16:38,380
And they have no real.

615
00:16:38,380 --> 00:16:39,380
Strength against it.

616
00:16:39,380 --> 00:16:40,380
Because they don't know.

617
00:16:40,380 --> 00:16:41,380
Who they are.

618
00:16:41,380 --> 00:16:42,380
But once you're a believer.

619
00:16:42,380 --> 00:16:43,380
We are traumatized.

620
00:16:43,380 --> 00:16:44,380
On the other side.

621
00:16:44,380 --> 00:16:45,380
Okay.

622
00:16:45,380 --> 00:16:46,380
Oh no.

623
00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:47,380
I'm going to sin.

624
00:16:47,380 --> 00:16:48,380
If I sin.

625
00:16:48,380 --> 00:16:49,380
Which all sounds good.

626
00:16:49,380 --> 00:16:50,380
And commendable.

627
00:16:50,380 --> 00:16:51,380
To be afraid of sinning.

628
00:16:51,380 --> 00:16:52,380
Not to sin.

629
00:16:52,380 --> 00:16:53,380
Don't sin.

630
00:16:53,380 --> 00:16:54,380
But we are falling.

631
00:16:54,380 --> 00:16:55,380
Into a wily.

632
00:16:55,380 --> 00:16:56,380
Demonic.

633
00:16:56,380 --> 00:16:57,380
Very.

634
00:16:57,380 --> 00:16:58,380
Very seductive.

635
00:16:58,380 --> 00:16:59,380
Very.

636
00:16:59,380 --> 00:17:00,380
Undiscerning.

637
00:17:00,380 --> 00:17:01,380
Trap.

638
00:17:01,380 --> 00:17:02,380
Twisting us.

639
00:17:02,380 --> 00:17:03,380
Into using.

640
00:17:03,380 --> 00:17:04,380
Our God-given desire.

641
00:17:04,380 --> 00:17:05,380
For love.

642
00:17:05,380 --> 00:17:06,380
And goodness.

643
00:17:06,380 --> 00:17:07,380
And righteousness.

644
00:17:07,380 --> 00:17:08,380
And peace.

645
00:17:08,380 --> 00:17:09,380
To destroy us.

646
00:17:09,380 --> 00:17:10,380
So.

647
00:17:10,380 --> 00:17:11,380
Sin.

648
00:17:11,380 --> 00:17:12,380
Whether you're trying to avoid it.

649
00:17:12,380 --> 00:17:13,380
Or committing it.

650
00:17:13,380 --> 00:17:14,380
Sin.

651
00:17:14,380 --> 00:17:15,380
Eats away.

652
00:17:15,380 --> 00:17:16,380
At our soul.

653
00:17:16,380 --> 00:17:17,380
What do we need to do.

654
00:17:17,380 --> 00:17:18,380
About sin?

655
00:17:18,380 --> 00:17:19,380
It's already been.

656
00:17:19,380 --> 00:17:20,380
Done.

657
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:21,380
It's already been.

658
00:17:21,380 --> 00:17:22,380
It's already been done.

659
00:17:22,380 --> 00:17:23,380
On the cross.

660
00:17:23,380 --> 00:17:24,380
I mean.

661
00:17:24,380 --> 00:17:25,380
John.

662
00:17:25,380 --> 00:17:26,380
1930.

663
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:28,380
So.

664
00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:29,380
So.

665
00:17:29,380 --> 00:17:30,380
The sin issue.

666
00:17:30,380 --> 00:17:31,380
Has been dealt with.

667
00:17:31,380 --> 00:17:32,380
Right.

668
00:17:32,380 --> 00:17:33,380
Right.

669
00:17:33,380 --> 00:17:34,380
But sinning has not.

670
00:17:34,380 --> 00:17:35,380
For example.

671
00:17:35,380 --> 00:17:36,380
In 1st John.

672
00:17:36,380 --> 00:17:37,380
He says.

673
00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:38,380
Don't say you have no sin.

674
00:17:38,380 --> 00:17:39,380
Because then you call God a liar.

675
00:17:39,380 --> 00:17:40,380
So.

676
00:17:40,380 --> 00:17:41,380
He's writing to believers.

677
00:17:41,380 --> 00:17:42,380
He's saying.

678
00:17:42,380 --> 00:17:43,380
You're going to still sin.

679
00:17:43,380 --> 00:17:44,380
But it's like.

680
00:17:44,380 --> 00:17:45,380
Okay.

681
00:17:45,380 --> 00:17:46,380
He doesn't.

682
00:17:46,380 --> 00:17:47,380
He says there.

683
00:17:47,380 --> 00:17:48,380
He says.

684
00:17:48,380 --> 00:17:49,380
I read unto you.

685
00:17:49,380 --> 00:17:50,380
That you sin not.

686
00:17:50,380 --> 00:17:51,380
But if any man sin.

687
00:17:51,380 --> 00:17:52,380
Confess.

688
00:17:52,380 --> 00:17:53,380
We have an advocate.

689
00:17:53,380 --> 00:17:54,380
The father.

690
00:17:54,380 --> 00:17:55,380
Jesus Christ.

691
00:17:55,380 --> 00:17:56,380
Who is faithful.

692
00:17:56,380 --> 00:17:57,380
And just to forgive us.

693
00:17:57,380 --> 00:17:58,380
Our sins.

694
00:17:58,380 --> 00:17:59,380
And to cleanse us.

695
00:17:59,380 --> 00:18:00,380
From all.

696
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:01,380
Unrighteousness.

697
00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:02,380
So.

698
00:18:02,380 --> 00:18:03,380
In.

699
00:18:03,380 --> 00:18:04,380
Here's the deal though.

700
00:18:04,380 --> 00:18:05,380
When you try not to sin.

701
00:18:05,380 --> 00:18:06,380
Sin not only eats away at our soul.

702
00:18:06,380 --> 00:18:07,380
The fact is.

703
00:18:07,380 --> 00:18:08,380
We're going to sin.

704
00:18:08,380 --> 00:18:09,380
But.

705
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,380
Trying not to sin.

706
00:18:10,380 --> 00:18:11,380
Does the same thing.

707
00:18:11,380 --> 00:18:12,380
That sin does.

708
00:18:12,380 --> 00:18:13,380
It creates in us.

709
00:18:13,380 --> 00:18:14,380
An obsession.

710
00:18:14,380 --> 00:18:15,380
With not sinning.

711
00:18:15,380 --> 00:18:16,380
Or.

712
00:18:16,380 --> 00:18:17,380
You know.

713
00:18:17,380 --> 00:18:18,380
Sinning.

714
00:18:18,380 --> 00:18:19,380
And not sinning.

715
00:18:19,380 --> 00:18:20,380
The obsession with.

716
00:18:20,380 --> 00:18:21,380
And trying to get rid of them.

717
00:18:21,380 --> 00:18:22,380
Is both.

718
00:18:22,380 --> 00:18:23,380
The same.

719
00:18:23,380 --> 00:18:24,380
End result.

720
00:18:24,380 --> 00:18:25,380
The guilt.

721
00:18:25,380 --> 00:18:26,380
The self-condemnation.

722
00:18:26,380 --> 00:18:27,380
The shame.

723
00:18:27,380 --> 00:18:28,380
The anxiety.

724
00:18:28,380 --> 00:18:29,380
And the end is the same result.

725
00:18:29,380 --> 00:18:30,380
Alienation from God.

726
00:18:30,380 --> 00:18:31,380
So.

727
00:18:31,380 --> 00:18:32,380
What is the answer then?

728
00:18:32,380 --> 00:18:33,380
The answer is not in trying to be good.

729
00:18:33,380 --> 00:18:34,380
Not to sin.

730
00:18:34,380 --> 00:18:35,380
It's a distortion.

731
00:18:35,380 --> 00:18:36,380
A distraction.

732
00:18:36,380 --> 00:18:37,380
From the truth.

733
00:18:37,380 --> 00:18:38,380
Which is.

734
00:18:38,380 --> 00:18:39,380
I do not even want to sin.

735
00:18:39,380 --> 00:18:40,380
I don't want to sin.

736
00:18:40,380 --> 00:18:41,380
Because I'm made by a holy God.

737
00:18:41,380 --> 00:18:42,380
And he made me in his image and likeness.

738
00:18:42,380 --> 00:18:43,380
I'm made by God to love truth.

739
00:18:43,380 --> 00:18:44,380
And pursue peace.

740
00:18:44,380 --> 00:18:45,380
Righteousness.

741
00:18:45,380 --> 00:18:46,380
And holiness.

742
00:18:46,380 --> 00:18:47,380
I'm made by God to love truth.

743
00:18:47,380 --> 00:18:48,380
And pursue peace.

744
00:18:48,380 --> 00:18:49,380
Righteousness.

745
00:18:49,380 --> 00:18:50,380
And holiness.

746
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:51,380
I'm made by God to love truth.

747
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:52,380
And pursue peace.

748
00:18:52,380 --> 00:18:53,380
Righteousness.

749
00:18:54,380 --> 00:18:55,380
And holiness.

750
00:18:55,380 --> 00:18:56,380
So.

751
00:18:56,380 --> 00:18:57,380
If I know who I am.

752
00:18:57,380 --> 00:18:58,459
I know where I'm from.

753
00:18:58,459 --> 00:18:59,780
If I know my origin.

754
00:18:59,780 --> 00:19:02,300
If I know that God has created me in his image and likeness.

755
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:04,099
Then this sin issue becomes one.

756
00:19:04,099 --> 00:19:05,260
Not so much of.

757
00:19:05,260 --> 00:19:06,260
You know.

758
00:19:06,260 --> 00:19:07,260
Me trying to perfect that.

759
00:19:07,260 --> 00:19:08,400
Which concerns me.

760
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,400
But it becomes.

761
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,500
Sin becomes.

762
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:11,500
Being aware of.

763
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:12,819
And walking in the.

764
00:19:12,819 --> 00:19:13,819
The wisdom of the Holy Spirit.

765
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:16,060
So that you don't fall into the sin traps.

766
00:19:16,060 --> 00:19:17,540
Because you don't want to sin.

767
00:19:17,540 --> 00:19:18,540
You know.

768
00:19:18,540 --> 00:19:19,540
And obviously Satan.

769
00:19:19,540 --> 00:19:21,239
Pulls us into these pits.

770
00:19:21,239 --> 00:19:23,280
So that he can beat us up.

771
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,280
Make us feel guilty.

772
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,239
And give us all kinds of demonic remedies.

773
00:19:27,239 --> 00:19:28,239
Like religion.

774
00:19:28,239 --> 00:19:29,560
Or penance.

775
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,560
Or guilt.

776
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:31,560
And shame.

777
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:32,560
And condemnation.

778
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,880
And none of this is the fruit of heaven.

779
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:34,880
And so.

780
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,560
God's truth is.

781
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:37,839
Come unto me.

782
00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:38,839
You know.

783
00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:39,839
Confess your sins.

784
00:19:39,839 --> 00:19:40,839
Repent.

785
00:19:40,839 --> 00:19:41,839
When you fall into temptation.

786
00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:42,839
When you get tricked.

787
00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:43,839
When you get deceived.

788
00:19:43,839 --> 00:19:44,839
It's not who you are.

789
00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:45,839
You fell in the mud puddle.

790
00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:46,839
You got pushed.

791
00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:47,839
Whatever.

792
00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:48,839
You're muddy.

793
00:19:48,839 --> 00:19:49,839
Let's wash you off.

794
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:50,839
And let's give you the new robes of righteousness.

795
00:19:50,839 --> 00:19:51,839
You are washable.

796
00:19:52,239 --> 00:19:54,520
You're not depraved because you sin.

797
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:55,520
However.

798
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,239
Sin can cause a lot of very depraved things.

799
00:19:58,239 --> 00:20:00,760
And the devil can operate through human beings.

800
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,599
To do some very very very incredibly unspeakably depraved things.

801
00:20:05,599 --> 00:20:06,800
In human beings.

802
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:07,800
When he allures them.

803
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,599
Entices them to sin.

804
00:20:09,599 --> 00:20:10,599
So.

805
00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:12,280
Trying to be good.

806
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,280
And not sin.

807
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,160
Is as much a distraction to the truth.

808
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,800
As trying to be good.

809
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,000
Trying not to sin.

810
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,000
So.

811
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,640
Because we're made in the image of God.

812
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,719
We need to know who we are.

813
00:20:24,719 --> 00:20:27,239
And that we want God's goodness.

814
00:20:27,239 --> 00:20:30,319
So every remedy Satan gives you.

815
00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:31,319
Condemnation.

816
00:20:31,319 --> 00:20:32,319
Oh by the way.

817
00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:36,959
Look at the look at the Pharisees in Mark chapter 7.

818
00:20:36,959 --> 00:20:38,219
Where Jesus was scolding them.

819
00:20:38,219 --> 00:20:39,800
And I mean he was after them.

820
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,400
Because they were picking on people.

821
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,760
They were washing the insides and outsides of the cups.

822
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:46,920
It says here.

823
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,880
The Pharisees verse chapter 7 Mark verse 1.

824
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:55,000
The Pharisees and some of the sad scribes came together to him having come from Jerusalem.

825
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,119
Now these are the top dogs right.

826
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:02,859
Now when they saw some of the disciples eat bread with the father's unwashed hands.

827
00:21:02,859 --> 00:21:03,859
They found fault.

828
00:21:03,859 --> 00:21:10,079
So they took this as an opportunity to come against Jesus's followers.

829
00:21:10,079 --> 00:21:14,560
And they started to say well the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash

830
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,640
their hands in a special way.

831
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,719
According to traditions of the elders when they come from the marketplace they don't

832
00:21:19,719 --> 00:21:21,800
eat till they wash.

833
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,319
Like they wash cups and silver and platters and copper vessels.

834
00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:29,479
Then the Pharisees and scribes said why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition

835
00:21:29,479 --> 00:21:31,880
of the elders but eat with unwashed hands.

836
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,920
And Jesus you know began to blast and he said well did Isaiah say to you people honor me

837
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:42,319
with your lips but your heart is far from me in vain teaching the doctrines of and commandments

838
00:21:42,319 --> 00:21:43,319
of men.

839
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,359
Laying aside the commandment of God you hold the traditions of men washing of cups and

840
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,359
pitchers.

841
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:54,400
He said all too well you reject the commandment of God and that you may keep your traditions.

842
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,920
And then he goes on to talk to them about how they twisted around this honor your father

843
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,719
and your mother thing to be you know more profitable for them an excuse not to protect

844
00:22:01,719 --> 00:22:04,660
and defend and honor their parents.

845
00:22:04,660 --> 00:22:09,040
And then he says not everything that goes into it.

846
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,479
There's nothing that enters a man from the outside that can defile him.

847
00:22:12,719 --> 00:22:15,800
So they were busy being perfect.

848
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,640
They were busy washing the outsides the insides of their their cups and their platters and

849
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,920
he says but he says what comes out of a man that defiles and he says for from within out

850
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,319
of the heart of men perceives evil thoughts are adulteries fornications murders deaths

851
00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:35,520
covetousness wickedness deceit licentiousness and evil eye blasphemy pride and foolishness.

852
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,800
All these evil things come from within and defile a man.

853
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,300
So he that is Mark Chapter 7 verse 21 there about that coming out of the heart.

854
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:45,979
The thing is so what he is saying is out of the heart.

855
00:22:45,979 --> 00:22:49,119
The abundance of the heart the mouth speak so you what your heart is full of is going

856
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,260
to come out whether it comes out in your actions or in your words so you find out what's going

857
00:22:53,260 --> 00:22:55,219
on in your side in yourself.

858
00:22:55,219 --> 00:22:56,219
Listen to your heart.

859
00:22:56,219 --> 00:22:57,219
Listen to what comes out.

860
00:22:57,219 --> 00:22:58,219
Watch.

861
00:22:58,219 --> 00:23:01,660
But he's but these notice these Pharisees they were they got to the point where they were

862
00:23:01,660 --> 00:23:03,540
so they were OCD.

863
00:23:03,540 --> 00:23:07,479
They were so a pulse obsessive compulsive and trying to make sure that the pictures

864
00:23:07,479 --> 00:23:11,739
were clean and and the cops were clean and he says but inwardly he said you are full

865
00:23:11,739 --> 00:23:14,459
of extortion and wickedness.

866
00:23:14,459 --> 00:23:15,459
OK.

867
00:23:15,459 --> 00:23:17,459
So what was it doing.

868
00:23:17,459 --> 00:23:21,579
What was all their outward activity doing to keep them pure.

869
00:23:21,579 --> 00:23:22,579
Nothing.

870
00:23:22,579 --> 00:23:30,500
It was actually making them the bigger hypocrite in Galatians 5 16 says walk in the spirit

871
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:32,819
and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

872
00:23:32,819 --> 00:23:39,540
No walking in the spirit is a real kind of nebulous kind of thing we think that we think

873
00:23:39,540 --> 00:23:44,060
it's like oh that's just for the super spiritual it sounds like walking in the spirit it's

874
00:23:44,060 --> 00:23:51,020
kind of a catchphrase but it is to be the normal Christian life you know watchman he

875
00:23:51,020 --> 00:23:57,859
wrote a book years ago called The Normal Christian Life and it's about Roman going through Romans

876
00:23:57,859 --> 00:24:03,979
and seeing that we are to live in the spirit live in the spirit like a fish lives in water.

877
00:24:03,979 --> 00:24:04,979
Yeah.

878
00:24:04,979 --> 00:24:06,260
Our atmosphere is the spirit.

879
00:24:06,260 --> 00:24:13,540
The whole thing the whole law is fulfilled in this that you love your neighbor as yourself

880
00:24:13,540 --> 00:24:15,579
that you love the Lord your God.

881
00:24:15,579 --> 00:24:16,579
Yes the law.

882
00:24:16,579 --> 00:24:19,420
The Pharisees asked him what's the great commandment in the law.

883
00:24:19,420 --> 00:24:23,859
He says it's he says it's the love the Lord your God with all your heart soul mind the

884
00:24:23,859 --> 00:24:26,619
strength and your neighbor as yourself.

885
00:24:26,619 --> 00:24:31,180
And he's given us the spirit of God to live in the spirit.

886
00:24:31,180 --> 00:24:39,660
It's not a matter of we will we'll fulfill the moral law like the stuff about the ceremonial

887
00:24:39,660 --> 00:24:46,260
law was fulfilled in Jesus a lot of that stuff in this ceremonial trying to say that right

888
00:24:46,260 --> 00:24:47,260
there.

889
00:24:47,260 --> 00:24:53,339
Well the whole law was was fulfilled in Jesus that it was just little pictures little hints

890
00:24:53,339 --> 00:24:57,400
of who Jesus is and what he would be doing.

891
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:03,079
But he said if you walk in the spirit you know you will fulfill the law.

892
00:25:03,079 --> 00:25:08,640
The law is fulfilled in this that you love one another and that you love one another

893
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:14,319
and that you love the Lord your God coming into the place where the Lord just transforms

894
00:25:14,319 --> 00:25:15,599
our hearts.

895
00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:22,000
A lot of people we have that holy desire desire to walk with him.

896
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,520
Well the problem is that people don't get converted.

897
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:29,479
They they still try to serve God in their flesh in their mind will and emotions in their

898
00:25:29,479 --> 00:25:31,880
reasoning and trying to be good.

899
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,439
And obviously you know obviously if you if you walk in the spirit you're not going to

900
00:25:36,439 --> 00:25:40,160
have to worry about that so much because it's already who you're walking in who you already

901
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,780
are and you don't even want to sin.

902
00:25:42,780 --> 00:25:47,560
And so you're going to avoid wickedness and bitterness and contempt and gossip.

903
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,439
You're going to just kind of steer away because walking in the spirit of God but led by the

904
00:25:51,439 --> 00:25:53,560
spirit is not going to lead you into sin.

905
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,760
He says you know walk in the spirit you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh the flesh

906
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:05,640
comes from your body and your soul your emotions and imagination and your insecurities and

907
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,640
all that stuff.

908
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,560
But the spirit of God is really what that means walking in that spirit is you're walking

909
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,239
in sync with God his spirit bearing witness with your spirit once you're saved you can

910
00:26:16,239 --> 00:26:23,800
walk in the spirit God's spirit very verifying confirming leading directing and comforting

911
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,280
you so his spirit bearing witness with our spirit.

912
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:31,520
But that doesn't happen until you you're the spirit of a man is the candle of the Lord

913
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,719
until that candle gets lit basically through salvation or accepting Jesus Christ and then

914
00:26:36,719 --> 00:26:43,520
God's spirit you're you're now you're you're spirit is activated and ready to receive the

915
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,640
revelation of the download of God's spirit to our spirit.

916
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:51,439
Now this is a higher level of walking in in a relationship with God than just do don't

917
00:26:51,439 --> 00:26:55,040
and do don't and don't do this and go there and do this and jump over this and this hoop

918
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,520
and you know genuflect over here and you know put holy water on over there.

919
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,880
This is not that this is walking in the spirit.

920
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,579
This is be kind one to another.

921
00:27:04,579 --> 00:27:06,280
This is love your neighbor as yourself.

922
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:12,040
This is the things we cannot do unless we have the spirit of God inspiring us to do

923
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,040
them.

924
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,839
It's the spirit of God.

925
00:27:14,839 --> 00:27:18,479
Basically what happens is the fruit of the spirit.

926
00:27:18,479 --> 00:27:20,400
This is what God's looking for.

927
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,760
He the fruit of the spirit love joy peace long suffering gentleness goodness faith mercy

928
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,680
and self-control all those things.

929
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:34,239
What are those things characteristics of God of Jesus and it's the fruit of the spirit

930
00:27:34,239 --> 00:27:35,239
in us.

931
00:27:35,239 --> 00:27:38,839
It's not the fruit of you trying to do something.

932
00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:39,839
It's the fruit.

933
00:27:39,839 --> 00:27:47,640
It's the results of the spirit of God coming through you as a human vessel in going back

934
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:54,239
to the treachery and the trickery that Satan has webbed around thin and getting rid of

935
00:27:54,239 --> 00:27:57,800
your sin because he knows we hate sin so much and then the other side you got the other

936
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,920
side the coining of people are so trapped in sin that they feel like there there's no

937
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,920
hope for them.

938
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,599
But so when we desire like the little fish you desire something whatever you desire that

939
00:28:08,599 --> 00:28:12,280
fisherman that deceiver is going to figure out what that is and put that on the end of

940
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:13,920
the hook like the lie hook.

941
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,719
And so if you're desiring to be pure and perfect then you're going to in your state is going

942
00:28:18,719 --> 00:28:22,199
to tempt you and say OK well then you got to do this this and this and don't do that

943
00:28:22,199 --> 00:28:27,800
and don't step on the cracks and you know what impossible and perfection always raises

944
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,959
the standard and so you never can be perfect enough.

945
00:28:30,959 --> 00:28:37,000
But anyway so if you try to do that yourself you're going to become actually mentally ill.

946
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,560
I believe you're going to be mentally ill and tormented and schizophrenic and obsessed

947
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,800
and OCD and anxious and all that other stuff.

948
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,280
And that's why people are anxious because they don't know they're they can have peace

949
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:47,280
with God.

950
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:52,400
And like you mentioned the Pharisees and the site he's back in the old busy busy.

951
00:28:52,400 --> 00:29:02,119
They got to be so OCD they had to they made so many laws extra laws so they wouldn't send

952
00:29:02,119 --> 00:29:05,479
so you wouldn't send it yet at the same time.

953
00:29:05,479 --> 00:29:06,880
But the law creates them.

954
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,959
They were vicious.

955
00:29:07,959 --> 00:29:08,959
They were greedy.

956
00:29:08,959 --> 00:29:10,760
They were lustful.

957
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,800
And they determined to kill Jesus.

958
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,839
They had to on every day had to.

959
00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:20,920
They decided he was messing up their system their system.

960
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,319
And today the same thing is true for the true church of Jesus Christ.

961
00:29:25,319 --> 00:29:29,079
Right now the true church of Jesus Christ is a major threat to the enemy's plan but

962
00:29:29,079 --> 00:29:33,959
it's also no threat at all because hardly nobody even knows the truth anymore about

963
00:29:33,959 --> 00:29:39,939
what God wants of us and what he's able to do through us because we're all so so pulled

964
00:29:39,939 --> 00:29:44,920
into the drama of these end days you know divisions.

965
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,760
But go back to this.

966
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:48,760
Perfect peace.

967
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,000
He'll keep him in perfect peace whose mind is saved by him.

968
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:56,839
So the sin if you think you need to get rid of more sin ask the Holy Spirit to lead you

969
00:29:56,839 --> 00:30:01,439
in to righteousness and truth and confess your sin when when the Holy Spirit shows you

970
00:30:01,439 --> 00:30:06,300
something like bitterness that's a big one bitterness and pride.

971
00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:07,560
People don't want to admit they're wrong.

972
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,079
They don't want to admit they've held grudges.

973
00:30:09,079 --> 00:30:10,359
They don't want to forgive.

974
00:30:10,359 --> 00:30:15,339
So if the Holy Spirit leads you to forgive release that person from that judgment release

975
00:30:15,339 --> 00:30:17,040
yourself from that judgment.

976
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,199
That's how you walk in freedom.

977
00:30:18,199 --> 00:30:23,479
That's how you walk in the in the provision and deliverance from the power of the law

978
00:30:23,479 --> 00:30:24,479
and it's condemnation.

979
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:30,560
Yeah there's a little poem I heard years ago that really talks a lot about this.

980
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:38,579
To run and work the law commands but it gives me neither feet nor hands.

981
00:30:38,579 --> 00:30:45,959
What better news the gospel brings it bids me fly and gives me wings.

982
00:30:45,959 --> 00:30:47,000
There you go.

983
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,579
So Father God we thank you for this this amount of stuff that we said they please open the

984
00:30:52,579 --> 00:30:57,780
hearts the minds of the people are hearing to think about it to meditate on it to go

985
00:30:57,780 --> 00:31:04,300
to you with it ask you to show them the freedom that actually the law and sin bring war make

986
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:08,920
us set up enmity between you and us Lord God and we don't want war.

987
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,939
We don't want we want you so Lord God let us walk in the place where Jesus Christ is

988
00:31:13,939 --> 00:31:18,979
tore down that wall of partition between us and we can now walk in the spirit of God hand

989
00:31:18,979 --> 00:31:23,739
in hand with him doing his bidding be like Jesus do what Jesus did you know heal the

990
00:31:23,739 --> 00:31:28,540
sick cleanse the lepers raise the dead bring back the King Father God we ask these things

991
00:31:28,540 --> 00:31:30,939
now in Jesus holy precious name.

992
00:31:30,939 --> 00:31:31,939
Amen.

993
00:31:31,939 --> 00:31:36,219
There's a book that you have called cravings that deals a lot with our desires.

994
00:31:36,219 --> 00:31:37,219
That's right.

995
00:31:37,219 --> 00:31:38,219
Yeah.

996
00:31:38,219 --> 00:31:43,219
Well tell us a little bit about well cravings whatever you're hungry for you know whether

997
00:31:43,219 --> 00:31:51,020
it's food you know the first sin was committed with food in the midst of it I don't eat this

998
00:31:51,020 --> 00:31:58,939
but anyway cravings has to do with Satan playing into our weaknesses our hunger our appetites

999
00:31:58,939 --> 00:32:03,140
and then binding us with that the more you give place to those cravings the more the

1000
00:32:03,140 --> 00:32:07,859
cravings hold and control you so the book cravings why do I do what I don't want to
