WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:24.560
Music.

00:00:24.579 --> 00:00:29.539
Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your soul. Yes, Father God,

00:00:29.579 --> 00:00:31.219
we know. We know about the war.

00:00:31.619 --> 00:00:35.119
We know about the end of the war, too. We thank you, Lord Jesus, that you came.

00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:39.599
You set the course, reset the course of mankind when you died on the cross,

00:00:39.599 --> 00:00:44.999
and you brought us to the place of hope and revelation and rescue, redemption.

00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.099
Father God, I thank you for sending your son, Jesus. I thank you for taking

00:00:48.099 --> 00:00:52.739
on the task of giving your blood for our lives to be rescued.

00:00:52.739 --> 00:00:56.919
And I thank you for those who have received and accepted that gift of salvation,

00:00:57.099 --> 00:01:00.819
Lord God, and those who are yet to do that, that you'd encourage their hearts.

00:01:00.939 --> 00:01:02.899
Thank you for giving us power over all the power of the enemy,

00:01:03.059 --> 00:01:06.279
power to bind and loose and tread on serpents and scorpions.

00:01:06.539 --> 00:01:10.859
Father God, thank you for giving us that authority as you back that authority

00:01:10.859 --> 00:01:12.419
with your power in Jesus' name.

00:01:12.619 --> 00:01:16.399
I bind the powers of darkness that would come against us, against this rescue

00:01:16.399 --> 00:01:18.579
radio, against the people who are listening. I bind you, enemy.

00:01:18.779 --> 00:01:22.939
You're exposed. You're defeated already. and we are going to stand and having

00:01:22.939 --> 00:01:25.279
done all, we will stand according to the word of our God.

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.779
And I thank you, Lord, for divine promises and protection that no weapon formed

00:01:28.779 --> 00:01:29.819
against us will prosper,

00:01:30.059 --> 00:01:33.939
that no word said, no deed done, no action taken will be able to be used by

00:01:33.939 --> 00:01:36.879
the enemy to bring forth any shame, trouble, or reproach to us,

00:01:36.939 --> 00:01:39.619
those who work for us, pray for us, and love us, and our families,

00:01:39.699 --> 00:01:42.079
those who've come to us for help in prayer, that they'd be encouraged,

00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:44.399
encouraged, encouraged with answers to prayer,

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:49.219
miracles, Father God, and healings, divine healings, Father, in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:01:50.082 --> 00:01:54.862
Amen. Well, today we're talking about our, we've been talking about relationships, right?

00:01:55.182 --> 00:01:58.822
We're talking about our relationship with sin. Yeah. And I want to start with—

00:01:58.822 --> 00:02:00.042
Do people have a relationship with sin?

00:02:00.842 --> 00:02:04.882
Yeah. I think sin binds us— It's kind of in us, right? Kind of entangled.

00:02:05.522 --> 00:02:07.922
We're entangled in it. It's interesting. So he's going to write a,

00:02:07.922 --> 00:02:10.782
he's going to read a very interesting scripture here that seems to have nothing

00:02:10.782 --> 00:02:14.822
to do with sin, and yet we're going to show you how it has everything to do with sin.

00:02:14.942 --> 00:02:20.922
Okay. Psalm 82.5, they do not know, nor do they understand.

00:02:21.302 --> 00:02:23.602
They walk about in darkness.

00:02:24.142 --> 00:02:29.582
All the foundations of the earth are unstable. I'm reading that from the New King James Version.

00:02:29.942 --> 00:02:34.522
Old King James says all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

00:02:34.942 --> 00:02:42.462
So there's something really wrong with everything in this world, in this universe.

00:02:42.622 --> 00:02:44.942
Except, of course, the Lord himself. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:02:45.222 --> 00:02:48.662
Well, the thing is, we have to go back to the beginning, and so we're going

00:02:48.662 --> 00:02:51.642
to look back at where sin actually came from.

00:02:51.762 --> 00:02:55.362
Because a lot of times we talk about sin in our particular lives,

00:02:55.442 --> 00:02:58.082
and don't steal, don't lie, don't cheat, don't commit adultery.

00:02:58.162 --> 00:03:00.242
We know all that. We know all that stuff.

00:03:00.482 --> 00:03:03.442
You already know that in your spirit already when God made you.

00:03:03.502 --> 00:03:06.162
He made you to know that right from wrong stuff.

00:03:06.382 --> 00:03:10.422
But going back to the book of Enoch, which some of you have already looked into

00:03:10.422 --> 00:03:15.702
and some haven't, We have to go back to understanding what Jerry just read about

00:03:15.702 --> 00:03:19.622
things being out of their course, you know, foundations of the earth unstable,

00:03:20.142 --> 00:03:22.762
things disrupted, people not knowing what's going on.

00:03:23.202 --> 00:03:27.142
You know, the enemy, we always call it the fall of man.

00:03:27.757 --> 00:03:34.177
Well, the fall of man, the original sin, actually started in heaven when Lucifer— Fall of Lucifer.

00:03:34.257 --> 00:03:38.497
Yeah, when he rebelled against God. And what was the rebellion?

00:03:38.717 --> 00:03:42.337
He did not want to be who he was created to be.

00:03:42.557 --> 00:03:45.257
And we have a very—you know, he wanted to do something different.

00:03:45.257 --> 00:03:47.837
He wanted to be something different. He wanted to be God, actually.

00:03:48.177 --> 00:03:51.757
And so I'm going to read a couple of verses in the Book of Enoch.

00:03:52.197 --> 00:03:55.197
And I think some of you are getting more interested in learning about that book,

00:03:55.197 --> 00:03:56.637
and there's a lot in that book that is very helpful.

00:03:56.637 --> 00:04:00.577
By the way, the book of Enoch is a biblically endorsed.

00:04:01.037 --> 00:04:05.597
Non-biblical book that, you know, some people say it should have been included

00:04:05.597 --> 00:04:10.817
in the canon of Scripture, but it was not, but it's got a lot of— It was not

00:04:10.817 --> 00:04:11.997
because it wasn't found.

00:04:12.277 --> 00:04:16.377
Yeah, and another thing, too, there's nothing in the book of Enoch that takes

00:04:16.377 --> 00:04:19.677
away from the Scriptures as we have them.

00:04:19.797 --> 00:04:23.337
As a matter of fact, I'm going to read a Scripture out of Enoch that you can

00:04:23.337 --> 00:04:28.437
read in Jude chapter—there's no chapters to Jude. So Jude and Peter,

00:04:28.797 --> 00:04:32.937
actually, they cut and pasted from the book of Enoch.

00:04:32.997 --> 00:04:37.517
Here's reading out of the book of Enoch, which Jude wrote in his book.

00:04:37.657 --> 00:04:42.277
And behold, he cometh with 10,000 of his holy ones to execute judgment upon

00:04:42.277 --> 00:04:46.897
all and to destroy all the ungodly and to convict all flesh of all the works

00:04:46.897 --> 00:04:50.777
of their ungodliness in which they have ungodly committed and of all the hard

00:04:50.777 --> 00:04:53.537
things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

00:04:53.537 --> 00:04:56.977
This is out of Enoch, but you can read it in your own Bible,

00:04:57.097 --> 00:04:59.797
in the book of Jude. So kind of a correlation there that's very interesting.

00:05:00.177 --> 00:05:05.957
But right following that, there's this recommendation, Observe ye everything

00:05:05.957 --> 00:05:10.397
that takes place in the heaven, and how they do not change their orbits.

00:05:10.877 --> 00:05:15.817
And the luminaries which are in heaven, how they all rise and set in order,

00:05:16.017 --> 00:05:20.477
each in his season, and transgress not against their appointed order.

00:05:21.057 --> 00:05:23.877
That last part, they transgress not against their appointed Lord.

00:05:23.977 --> 00:05:25.697
So how would a star sin...

00:05:26.515 --> 00:05:30.135
Only by transgressing its orbit or its appointed order. So when things are in

00:05:30.135 --> 00:05:34.975
order, they're operating in the way that God created them to function and operate,

00:05:35.115 --> 00:05:36.795
and therefore they're being obedient.

00:05:36.955 --> 00:05:40.275
They're being, you know, they're illuminating the sky. They're keeping the seasons.

00:05:40.495 --> 00:05:44.195
The work of God is being carried out with the summer and the winter,

00:05:44.335 --> 00:05:50.915
and the water, the clouds, the dew, the rain, everything is abiding or obeying

00:05:50.915 --> 00:05:52.735
what God created for it to do,

00:05:52.915 --> 00:05:55.755
except the angels who first fell,

00:05:56.395 --> 00:06:01.035
And when Lucifer fell, of course, he took a bunch of them with him.

00:06:01.235 --> 00:06:06.355
And 200 of them decided that they wanted to be humans. They wanted to have families.

00:06:06.475 --> 00:06:12.275
So they took after, they abducted, kidnapped the beautiful women and took them for their wives.

00:06:12.375 --> 00:06:18.075
And out of that rebellion came the sins that they brought upon us because they

00:06:18.075 --> 00:06:22.615
not only sinned against the women, you know, raping them, violating them,

00:06:22.755 --> 00:06:26.995
going in onto them, and then creating these, out of this came these giants or Nephilim,

00:06:27.255 --> 00:06:32.595
men are renowned, these carnivores that began to eat the people.

00:06:33.095 --> 00:06:38.955
But they also told them secrets, taught them enchantments and root cuttings.

00:06:39.155 --> 00:06:44.855
And it's through these things, believe it or not, through this information which

00:06:44.855 --> 00:06:47.615
we were taught to crave and want.

00:06:48.735 --> 00:06:51.855
Remember, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was a tree of knowledge.

00:06:51.855 --> 00:06:55.995
And they wanted the knowledge, they wanted to know the hidden and secrets,

00:06:56.015 --> 00:07:00.475
deep workings of things so that they could manipulate and control things.

00:07:00.755 --> 00:07:05.095
So knowledge is power, but knowledge of certain things...

00:07:05.495 --> 00:07:08.355
You know the lord originally didn't really want

00:07:08.355 --> 00:07:11.075
us to know evil right right he didn't

00:07:11.075 --> 00:07:14.695
want us to know he wanted evil was existing in

00:07:14.695 --> 00:07:17.895
the form of fallen angels and so forth but

00:07:17.895 --> 00:07:23.175
he wanted us to just basically to know good and to follow good but we want to

00:07:23.175 --> 00:07:28.655
know more and the thing is too there's more to know of the lord and his ways

00:07:28.655 --> 00:07:34.735
and his creation but then what happens is that we get and into the place of knowing evil.

00:07:34.855 --> 00:07:36.915
Well, you know, the thing is— And practicing evil.

00:07:38.835 --> 00:07:46.135
The core, you know, impetus or the desire that leads us to witchcraft is the desire to know more.

00:07:46.375 --> 00:07:48.915
They wanted to know more. That's why they go to fortune tellers.

00:07:48.975 --> 00:07:52.155
That's why they seek the omens and the occults and the things.

00:07:52.255 --> 00:07:55.475
But going back to the Book of Enoch for a minute, it says, and these fallen

00:07:55.475 --> 00:08:00.755
angels, and there's names for some of them, And they taught the women charms,

00:08:00.995 --> 00:08:04.455
enchantments, and root cuttings, and made them acquainted with plants.

00:08:04.655 --> 00:08:07.675
The giants turned against mankind. They devoured them.

00:08:07.815 --> 00:08:10.455
They sinned against the birds, the beasts, the reptiles, the fish,

00:08:10.515 --> 00:08:14.035
and devoured everyone another's flesh and drank the blood.

00:08:14.155 --> 00:08:19.275
So they were cross-pollinating the kinds, sinning against the birds,

00:08:19.415 --> 00:08:24.695
the beasts. They were manipulating God's divine DNA and order and creating these

00:08:24.695 --> 00:08:28.695
monsters and freaks and chimeras and centaurs and all kinds of things.

00:08:28.795 --> 00:08:32.555
But it was thinning against the order that God had put in the earth.

00:08:32.635 --> 00:08:33.755
And we're still doing that.

00:08:33.895 --> 00:08:36.815
You know, if you look at transhumanism and so forth. Oh, yeah.

00:08:37.875 --> 00:08:41.235
We're going towards that same goal. We're moving into the same thing.

00:08:41.375 --> 00:08:46.335
And it's basically what we're looking at here today is the trans.

00:08:46.335 --> 00:08:50.755
Rebellion against God. Well, transgression of God's order.

00:08:50.915 --> 00:08:54.895
In other words, going too far, going beyond the order of things,

00:08:55.075 --> 00:09:01.895
not only for our lives personally, but for the whole creation. We're messing around.

00:09:02.839 --> 00:09:07.499
With the creation, messing with the weather, messing with genetics.

00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:14.979
Even really going into outer space because the Bible says heaven is the Lord,

00:09:15.219 --> 00:09:19.959
and heaven belongs to the Lord, and He's given earth to the sons of men.

00:09:20.079 --> 00:09:25.739
Well, as the story progresses in the book of Enoch, we see that the fallen angels,

00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.799
some of them decided to take these women and teach them the secrets.

00:09:29.539 --> 00:09:33.939
And because the men were striving to learn this, they wanted to know more.

00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:39.699
Again, going out of the order of God, wanting to know more, taking control for themselves.

00:09:40.059 --> 00:09:44.299
And so they were striving to learn these things. And so they brought forth these

00:09:44.299 --> 00:09:48.059
kinds of things that were out of order, that were not created by God.

00:09:48.999 --> 00:09:54.659
And out of them, the cross-pollination came the giants. The giants brought forth

00:09:54.659 --> 00:10:00.699
when they died, their evil spirits became now what we know as the demons on the earth.

00:10:01.979 --> 00:10:08.899
So what happened is when God called this thing to order, he sent the angels to deal with it.

00:10:08.979 --> 00:10:14.759
He sent one of the angels, let's see which one, Raphael, to lock up the fallen

00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:20.219
angels into the place of darkness so that they would be removed from the people.

00:10:20.219 --> 00:10:24.099
And the whole earth was corrupted, it says, through the works that were taught

00:10:24.099 --> 00:10:27.999
by Ezel, and he was the one who taught them instruments and weapons of war.

00:10:28.579 --> 00:10:32.439
The whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Ezel.

00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.099
To him ascribe all sin. To him ascribe all sin.

00:10:36.259 --> 00:10:38.759
So the beginning of the transgressions that we're all worried about,

00:10:38.839 --> 00:10:42.919
that we're caught up in, the sins, transgressing the law, rebelling against

00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:48.739
God, hating one another, killing, murdering, all these things came from the beginning.

00:10:48.979 --> 00:10:53.379
And the beginning is where we need to go to remember that if you don't know

00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:57.939
your beginning, if you don't know where you come from in all of this mess and

00:10:57.939 --> 00:11:01.099
all this story, if you don't know that you're created as the sons and daughters

00:11:01.099 --> 00:11:03.619
of the Most High God in His maidenness, image, and likeness,

00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:06.599
you will not, you'll be looking at the middle of the river,

00:11:06.819 --> 00:11:09.739
the river of sin, transgression, corruption.

00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:14.379
Injustice, and you'll never look at the beginning, the headwaters of where this thing came from.

00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:19.679
And so Satan always makes it look like you're bad, you sinned, you're guilty.

00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.479
And of course we feel guilty. And why do we feel guilty? Well,

00:11:22.579 --> 00:11:25.779
because we're made by God and we have a divine nature that hates sin.

00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.999
And so when you sin against yourself, when you sin, you're actually sinning

00:11:28.999 --> 00:11:32.999
against yourself. You're coming against your own divine original nature to be

00:11:32.999 --> 00:11:34.599
made the daughter, son of the Most High God.

00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:38.299
And so of course you're gonna feel guilty. So Satan then uses that guilt to make you,

00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:43.139
punish you, to bring his demonic judgments upon you, to make you feel unworthy and bad.

00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:47.439
And he's trying to take you down so that you don't know where you came from,

00:11:47.539 --> 00:11:50.339
you don't know who you belong to, and you don't know why you're here.

00:11:50.579 --> 00:11:54.139
And so, sin, when we sin,

00:11:54.419 --> 00:11:59.199
when we remove ourselves from God's divine order for our lives,

00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:05.719
we transgress against the order God has created for us, then that is really the definition of sin.

00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:11.739
Right. The Bible defines sin as transgression of the law. Now,

00:12:11.899 --> 00:12:13.939
not only the law of Moses.

00:12:14.259 --> 00:12:17.239
Right. You know. But the original laws. The Ten Commandments,

00:12:17.379 --> 00:12:25.759
the original laws of creation, the law of, well, it boils down to the law of love.

00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:32.599
The law of love and the will of God. So, yeah, that's where the defilement comes in.

00:12:32.899 --> 00:12:37.419
Yeah, because every sin is a sin against the law of love. Every injustice, every offense,

00:12:37.719 --> 00:12:40.779
every retaliation, every time you try to get even with somebody,

00:12:40.859 --> 00:12:44.899
every time you get bitter, every time you practice witchcraft or try to control someone,

00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:49.719
you are sinning against the law of love, and you're creating an injustice that

00:12:49.719 --> 00:12:53.619
promotes more iniquity and more pain and more trouble.

00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:56.979
Right, and our sinning is primarily against God.

00:12:57.239 --> 00:13:03.159
It's against God primarily, and it's against one another, and it's against ourselves.

00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:09.979
So again, you go back to when God gave this law, law of Moses and all the details

00:13:09.979 --> 00:13:16.919
of that, it was like God is saying, okay, here's my order, right?

00:13:17.079 --> 00:13:19.699
And I'm not here to control you.

00:13:20.115 --> 00:13:25.895
I'm here to make it protect you. And the thing is, too, if you stay within these

00:13:25.895 --> 00:13:29.355
parameters of my guidelines, you're going to be okay.

00:13:29.595 --> 00:13:32.055
You transgress, you go beyond that.

00:13:32.415 --> 00:13:35.435
You open yourself up to the powers of hell.

00:13:35.555 --> 00:13:39.255
So God was kind of forced to give a rule and order, law and order,

00:13:39.375 --> 00:13:44.555
to bring order back to the human race after everything went crashing down,

00:13:44.715 --> 00:13:46.035
after Adam and Eve sinned.

00:13:46.135 --> 00:13:51.915
They were deceived. They bit into that fruit because it was enchanted,

00:13:52.015 --> 00:13:54.155
because they were enchanted, because they looked at it and said,

00:13:54.275 --> 00:13:59.255
this is beautiful to the eye, it is good for food, and it will make one wise.

00:13:59.375 --> 00:14:04.235
So they already decided that this thing was worthy to be eaten and consumed

00:14:04.235 --> 00:14:05.995
because of all of these enchanting things.

00:14:06.435 --> 00:14:10.595
And to note these days, Semjaza, the fallen angel, Semjaza's name,

00:14:10.795 --> 00:14:14.815
he was in charge of enchantments, wood cuttings, and charms.

00:14:15.395 --> 00:14:18.815
Now, this is exactly what has happened to the human race. You wonder why you're

00:14:18.815 --> 00:14:21.855
so spellbound and stupefied and can't get up and do anything,

00:14:21.995 --> 00:14:24.575
get out and get going or anything? Because of the enchantments.

00:14:24.955 --> 00:14:28.795
Because, you know, an enchantment is something, a charm is something that beguiles,

00:14:28.955 --> 00:14:31.575
bewitches, deceives, and it uses beauty.

00:14:31.975 --> 00:14:36.615
The enchantments were set to create feelings of great pleasure.

00:14:36.915 --> 00:14:41.215
They were drawing people into the transgression, into the sin,

00:14:41.335 --> 00:14:46.495
to cross the line, step over the line, by drawing them with feelings of pleasure or delight.

00:14:46.635 --> 00:14:51.515
And that's exactly what people seek now in all of their self-comforting measures

00:14:51.515 --> 00:14:54.335
to get away from the misery, get away from the pain.

00:14:55.135 --> 00:14:58.995
Enchantment has to do with sorcery. It has to do with false comforts,

00:14:59.095 --> 00:15:03.755
with hypnotism, with occultism, voodoo, black art spells, and charms.

00:15:03.895 --> 00:15:07.975
And charms are an interesting thing. And God talks a lot about charms,

00:15:07.995 --> 00:15:09.815
actually, in the book of Ezekiel.

00:15:10.355 --> 00:15:11.975
And so charms are a real thing.

00:15:12.655 --> 00:15:17.195
And so charm is something to think about this. All of us have been seduced in

00:15:17.195 --> 00:15:21.975
some way and pulled into a relationship with a, you know, a spell.

00:15:22.135 --> 00:15:28.235
And cast a spell is cast over many times, many over of us, where we're drawn into a relationship.

00:15:28.775 --> 00:15:33.515
Something that's a charm is something that is giving delight or arousing admiration.

00:15:34.295 --> 00:15:35.275
Attractiveness, or beauty.

00:15:35.415 --> 00:15:41.155
So again, Satan is using beauty and pleasure and pleasant things, beauty and pleasure.

00:15:41.577 --> 00:15:47.357
Pleasure things, to draw us into a place of agreement where we're stepping across

00:15:47.357 --> 00:15:52.677
that line and we're saying, okay, so many relationships with human beings,

00:15:52.797 --> 00:15:54.817
men and women, boys and girls, young people,

00:15:55.337 --> 00:16:00.117
they're operating under spells and they're being charmed and they're being deceived

00:16:00.117 --> 00:16:06.237
and they're being bewitched and beguiled for the very purpose of destroying their integrity,

00:16:07.017 --> 00:16:12.557
their life call, their destiny, their purity, because Satan has access to the charms.

00:16:12.737 --> 00:16:14.097
And not only that, but he uses the

00:16:14.097 --> 00:16:19.837
root cuttings, which are the drugs that enhance the power of the charm.

00:16:20.077 --> 00:16:24.457
And so people don't realize, you don't realize that there's more going on in

00:16:24.457 --> 00:16:26.077
your life than just trying to be good.

00:16:26.377 --> 00:16:28.897
I mean, why do you try to be good? Why do you wanna be good?

00:16:28.977 --> 00:16:30.657
Well, because you're made by God to want to be good.

00:16:30.777 --> 00:16:35.397
That's why, so being good is such a powerful motivator. But the thing is,

00:16:35.537 --> 00:16:38.977
everything down here is full of mud and snakes in the snake pit.

00:16:39.097 --> 00:16:43.477
So trying to be good becomes futility, really an effort in futility.

00:16:44.077 --> 00:16:50.037
It's interesting here in Ephesians 2, verses 1 and 2, And you he made alive

00:16:50.037 --> 00:16:54.617
who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked.

00:16:54.657 --> 00:16:56.197
He's writing now, of course, to believers.

00:16:56.477 --> 00:16:58.937
In which you once walked according to the what?

00:16:59.397 --> 00:17:01.137
Course of this world.

00:17:01.797 --> 00:17:06.497
According to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in

00:17:06.497 --> 00:17:08.017
the sons of disobedience.

00:17:08.517 --> 00:17:14.117
So among whom also we once conduct ourselves in the lusts of our flesh,

00:17:14.317 --> 00:17:17.657
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind. Lusts of the flesh.

00:17:17.837 --> 00:17:21.317
And were by nature children of wrath, just as others.

00:17:21.557 --> 00:17:25.117
So that desire, the lusts of the flesh, is to know more.

00:17:25.457 --> 00:17:28.957
Lust means to have more, to know more, to indulge in more.

00:17:29.537 --> 00:17:31.957
And so we get into that place of cravings and we get out of control.

00:17:32.137 --> 00:17:35.597
Indulge in more stuff that go against the Lord. Against the holiness.

00:17:35.917 --> 00:17:40.417
The course of this world. So the course of this world, you think of the course, right?

00:17:40.817 --> 00:17:44.957
The path of this world. It's a course. It's something that you follow.

00:17:45.237 --> 00:17:49.517
Yeah. You know, it is a golf course. You follow, you go from one hole to another.

00:17:50.557 --> 00:17:53.057
Well, see, I think we think— That's what happens with people.

00:17:53.237 --> 00:17:54.577
They go from one hole to another.

00:17:54.777 --> 00:18:02.457
It's like holes of sin. Yeah. stuff so basically how's your golf golf game right we are programmed,

00:18:03.362 --> 00:18:07.562
We're programmed in so many ways. We're programmed by our media.

00:18:07.822 --> 00:18:10.862
We're programmed by our family background.

00:18:11.502 --> 00:18:19.642
We're pre-programmed and programmed by our body of death, the sins of the generations.

00:18:20.002 --> 00:18:23.082
The vibrations, the frequencies, the food, the soil, the air,

00:18:23.182 --> 00:18:25.522
the water, the contact with other people.

00:18:25.662 --> 00:18:30.422
It's like, you know, it's almost like who has a chance of breaking out of that programming?

00:18:30.602 --> 00:18:36.802
And that's what salvation is. that's what deliverance is, is breaking out of

00:18:36.802 --> 00:18:38.602
the course of this world. Yes.

00:18:38.962 --> 00:18:42.722
Why? Because it's so difficult to break out once you're saved.

00:18:42.822 --> 00:18:46.382
You can't break out on your own. Then the Lord God sent the Holy Spirit to dwell

00:18:46.382 --> 00:18:53.222
inside of us so those who are followers of Jesus have that super access to the power to follow Him.

00:18:53.362 --> 00:18:56.122
But, you know, really when you're talking about our relationship with sin.

00:18:56.642 --> 00:18:57.622
There's nothing. thing.

00:18:57.762 --> 00:19:01.722
I mean, we can't go just a few sentences talking about man before we have to

00:19:01.722 --> 00:19:02.822
address the issue of sin.

00:19:03.302 --> 00:19:08.802
No relationship is void of that sin, that offense.

00:19:09.302 --> 00:19:12.622
Sin is everywhere. We live in the context of sin everywhere.

00:19:12.822 --> 00:19:15.962
Injustice, being ripped off, being lied to, being manipulated,

00:19:16.242 --> 00:19:17.962
being witchcraft practiced against us.

00:19:18.082 --> 00:19:23.522
We're just basically in this. Now, you talked a minute ago about the gulf course

00:19:23.522 --> 00:19:24.362
and the course of our life.

00:19:24.562 --> 00:19:30.302
I don't believe most people realize that you have a divine destiny.

00:19:30.562 --> 00:19:34.362
That is, God has given you a life, you a plan, you a path,

00:19:34.682 --> 00:19:40.062
a course, and just like the stars and the luminaries and the celestial bodies

00:19:40.062 --> 00:19:43.982
have to stay in their orbit, God wants us to find that course,

00:19:44.182 --> 00:19:49.382
walk in that course, and be fruitful and faithful to Him as He has designed

00:19:49.382 --> 00:19:52.402
us to do and be and live in that place.

00:19:52.602 --> 00:19:56.482
Salvation and deliverance is getting out of the course of this world.

00:19:56.642 --> 00:20:00.062
Right. It's all screwed up, everything that's out of course,

00:20:00.062 --> 00:20:05.282
out of God's perfect order that's transgressing.

00:20:07.395 --> 00:20:13.655
God's designed order. So what happens is salvation brings us into a whole new course.

00:20:13.835 --> 00:20:19.995
It says in Ephesians 2, 8 through 10, For by grace you have been saved through

00:20:19.995 --> 00:20:23.795
faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works,

00:20:23.795 --> 00:20:25.155
lest anyone should boast.

00:20:25.295 --> 00:20:31.335
For we are his workmanship, okay, created in Christ Jesus for good works,

00:20:31.335 --> 00:20:36.015
which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

00:20:36.195 --> 00:20:39.955
Which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. What's that mean?

00:20:40.135 --> 00:20:43.695
That means there's a course for our lives, for each of our lives.

00:20:44.035 --> 00:20:46.895
There's a plan, there's a purpose that God has for us.

00:20:47.015 --> 00:20:52.895
Just like, you know, we think of Jesus, God had a special course for him,

00:20:52.995 --> 00:20:58.595
you know, on earth now for three and a half years about teaching,

00:20:58.935 --> 00:21:01.575
praying, healing, delivering. He stayed on track.

00:21:02.015 --> 00:21:05.855
Loving, going to the cross, being raised from the dead, being raised to the

00:21:05.855 --> 00:21:07.675
right hand of the Father. He didn't look to the right or to the left.

00:21:07.735 --> 00:21:09.535
He stayed on course. He followed that course.

00:21:09.735 --> 00:21:15.015
And that's the thing, too, is in that course that we get on when we receive

00:21:15.015 --> 00:21:22.595
Jesus as Savior, and we're led through that course by the Word of God and by the Spirit of God.

00:21:22.775 --> 00:21:26.655
The Spirit of God is to lead us through that course. And that course,

00:21:26.815 --> 00:21:30.935
the Bible says that the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord.

00:21:31.175 --> 00:21:34.715
So he is, if we let him, he is guiding us.

00:21:35.195 --> 00:21:39.655
Detail after detail after detail. And it's something that we don't have to get

00:21:39.655 --> 00:21:43.435
all hyper about, but we just simply acknowledge the Lord. Follow Jesus.

00:21:43.835 --> 00:21:48.235
In all your ways, all your ways, every little detail, acknowledge Him.

00:21:48.455 --> 00:21:50.375
And He shall direct your path.

00:21:50.675 --> 00:21:53.755
And if you recognize that your life, there's a destiny.

00:21:54.315 --> 00:21:58.015
There's an origin, there's a reason, there's a purpose, you are an individual,

00:21:58.235 --> 00:22:02.955
unique, created by God, you have been gifted with certain things that God wants

00:22:02.955 --> 00:22:07.315
you to do and perform and declare on the earth as part of the extension of his

00:22:07.315 --> 00:22:11.255
plan, his plan for reclamation and redemption of the earth,

00:22:11.855 --> 00:22:13.555
that gives you more meaning and purpose.

00:22:13.695 --> 00:22:18.875
Most people are just bouncing around in their lives, being beaten up on their path.

00:22:18.955 --> 00:22:23.035
It's like if you're going on a journey and you walk, you're taking this journey

00:22:23.035 --> 00:22:26.635
and you've got your backpack or whatever you've got, and all of a sudden along

00:22:26.635 --> 00:22:32.455
the road you get slammed, you get assaulted, you get waylaid, robbed, ambushed.

00:22:32.455 --> 00:22:35.655
Yeah, this is exactly what people don't realize.

00:22:35.835 --> 00:22:38.915
They don't realize that today some of you are just in an ambushment.

00:22:39.035 --> 00:22:42.315
You've just been ripped off, robbed, left for dead.

00:22:42.735 --> 00:22:45.935
Because, you know, and it's not because of a sin necessarily.

00:22:46.195 --> 00:22:50.435
Yes, there was probably some deception and you probably took a wrong course,

00:22:50.515 --> 00:22:53.975
but it wasn't a wrong course because God already knew it was part of the plan, part of the path.

00:22:54.455 --> 00:22:57.715
But the enemy kind of says, yeah, you're bad. You did something wrong.

00:22:57.835 --> 00:22:59.395
And now God is punishing you.

00:22:59.735 --> 00:23:03.735
God is not punishing us. God is helping us. God is the one who wants you to win.

00:23:04.015 --> 00:23:06.735
He's the one who wants you to make it safe to heaven. Why would he defeat himself

00:23:06.735 --> 00:23:11.275
by knocking you down on the road to teach you a lesson when it's his goal to make you strong?

00:23:11.515 --> 00:23:14.375
I know the Bible says a lot of places, oh, God tested them, God tested them.

00:23:14.495 --> 00:23:22.035
Well, God tested them because they tested God, because they failed to obey, they believed the lie.

00:23:22.655 --> 00:23:27.855
They followed the devil, they followed lust and perversion and pagan idolatry,

00:23:27.875 --> 00:23:29.815
and they did what God said don't do.

00:23:30.015 --> 00:23:32.755
And why did God say don't do it? Because God says, if you do that,

00:23:32.915 --> 00:23:35.295
you know, you're going to get in trouble, the devil's going to grab ahold of

00:23:35.295 --> 00:23:36.995
you, and you're going to, you know, serve him.

00:23:37.395 --> 00:23:42.895
And so they were testing God, and then God had to let them go because they had a free will.

00:23:43.015 --> 00:23:47.315
So God has a perfect will, he has a permissive will, and we have a free will.

00:23:47.455 --> 00:23:50.595
And because we have a free will, God has to often act in

00:23:50.595 --> 00:23:54.215
his permissive will as opposed to his perfect will and

00:23:54.215 --> 00:23:57.615
so we're getting with testing you know it's like a teacher

00:23:57.615 --> 00:24:04.055
that gives a test in a school he wants to see what the kids know well yeah he

00:24:04.055 --> 00:24:07.235
wants to see that but he doesn't want to see them fail he really wants to prove

00:24:07.235 --> 00:24:11.855
that they're able and qualified to take the next step that's exactly it so with

00:24:11.855 --> 00:24:17.415
god's testing god's testing is to just to prove prove something it's.

00:24:17.895 --> 00:24:20.375
To prove that he's able to keep you, basically.

00:24:20.775 --> 00:24:24.835
If an engineer designs a piece of equipment, it's tested.

00:24:25.115 --> 00:24:28.855
And it's proved and approved, right?

00:24:29.075 --> 00:24:32.135
As it's something that works. It works good. It's put under pressure.

00:24:32.315 --> 00:24:36.515
It's put under pressure. And it's something to... That it passed the test.

00:24:36.755 --> 00:24:41.935
Passing the test. And God wants us to pass the test. He doesn't want us to fail the test.

00:24:42.075 --> 00:24:45.875
He doesn't want to fail us. Yeah. And so we're going to talk a little bit more

00:24:45.875 --> 00:24:49.195
about the specific sins. Just going to cover one of them today.

00:24:49.495 --> 00:24:53.575
You know, there are four types of sins. Basically, sins of omission,

00:24:53.935 --> 00:24:56.215
commission, assumption, and presumption.

00:24:56.515 --> 00:24:59.855
We're just going to talk this morning about the sin of omission for a minute.

00:25:00.555 --> 00:25:04.955
Those are things that we fail or refuse to do, both knowingly and ignorantly.

00:25:05.315 --> 00:25:09.435
And omitting something, not doing something that you should have or was right

00:25:09.435 --> 00:25:11.355
for you to do, was required of you to do.

00:25:11.915 --> 00:25:17.515
And Jesus scolded the Pharisees for failing to honor their parents by making

00:25:17.515 --> 00:25:20.535
the excuse that they were giving those gifts instead to the temple.

00:25:20.855 --> 00:25:26.395
And so they had disregarded or dishonored their parents, and the Lord scolded them for that.

00:25:26.795 --> 00:25:30.575
He says, Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this,

00:25:30.655 --> 00:25:34.515
to visit the orphans and widows in their trouble and keep oneself unspotted

00:25:34.515 --> 00:25:39.555
from the world, which is a far cry from what those religious leaders were teaching in his day.

00:25:39.555 --> 00:25:43.815
But the sins of omission, one of the things that, you know, I do a lot of counseling

00:25:43.815 --> 00:25:47.475
and I want to just kind of draw something to your attention,

00:25:47.715 --> 00:25:49.175
those of you who are believers.

00:25:50.130 --> 00:25:56.550
Many people, you know, have sinned by drawing boundaries that God never authorized.

00:25:56.770 --> 00:26:01.270
You know, there's the transgression against the divine order of things.

00:26:01.390 --> 00:26:07.330
But on the other hand, we are tempted to draw boundaries, make boundaries that God never authorized.

00:26:07.550 --> 00:26:11.910
These boundaries are like you draw a hard line. There's a vow to withhold.

00:26:12.190 --> 00:26:16.170
We're not going to, you know, we're not going to, you know, these people are off limits.

00:26:16.530 --> 00:26:19.710
You know, for example, you cut them off. Yeah. And a lot of times,

00:26:20.030 --> 00:26:24.010
people, and I've seen this, they're calling themselves Christians.

00:26:24.410 --> 00:26:30.430
Which means they're Christ-like or Christ followers, and they have drawn a hard line because of fear.

00:26:30.730 --> 00:26:38.010
They have had, you know, altercation or a run-in or squabble or something with their parents.

00:26:38.350 --> 00:26:40.990
You know, this is especially after children are married and they have their

00:26:40.990 --> 00:26:45.890
own wives and husbands, but they cut off their parents, and this is exactly

00:26:45.890 --> 00:26:47.410
what Jesus is talking about, honor your parents.

00:26:47.550 --> 00:26:50.410
So they cut off, they draw a boundary because they're afraid,

00:26:50.550 --> 00:26:52.710
because they're angry, because they're upset, because they're offended.

00:26:53.090 --> 00:26:57.490
And so they cut off and they call themselves Christians. But that's not what Christ would have done.

00:26:57.670 --> 00:27:01.050
He did not cut off people he didn't like or didn't like him.

00:27:01.110 --> 00:27:02.230
He never didn't like anybody.

00:27:02.410 --> 00:27:07.970
He loved everybody, but he never cut people off and he never cut them off from

00:27:07.970 --> 00:27:11.190
access to his love or his forgiveness or mercy. But we do that all the time.

00:27:11.370 --> 00:27:15.450
So we're falling into this Satan's plan of divide and conquer.

00:27:15.570 --> 00:27:17.610
Remember that's where he says, I'm not coming to bring peace,

00:27:17.710 --> 00:27:21.090
Jesus said, but a sword setting two against three is three against two,

00:27:21.210 --> 00:27:23.890
father against mother, daughter against mother-in-law, blah, blah, blah.

00:27:24.190 --> 00:27:28.450
Well, this is exactly what the devil is trying to do. That was not Jesus's intent,

00:27:28.630 --> 00:27:30.170
but he says, that's what's happening because I'm here.

00:27:30.310 --> 00:27:34.010
I'm the divining line and people are having to choose.

00:27:34.510 --> 00:27:39.210
So Satan divides and conquers and he sets us up to be angry,

00:27:39.350 --> 00:27:45.110
upset, withholding precious things that are rightfully the other persons from them.

00:27:45.210 --> 00:27:51.350
For example, if you are a parent and you vow to hold back your children from

00:27:51.350 --> 00:27:56.010
their grandparents because you're afraid, because your wife doesn't like them,

00:27:56.310 --> 00:28:00.270
because they're controlling or whatever, for whatever reason.

00:28:00.790 --> 00:28:02.850
That is a sin of omission.

00:28:02.970 --> 00:28:07.150
That's a transgression against the divine order, which are parents,

00:28:07.310 --> 00:28:10.430
children, loved ones, and other families stay together in God.

00:28:10.790 --> 00:28:15.610
But I understand there are times when it's appropriate to separate.

00:28:15.770 --> 00:28:16.770
And this would be an example.

00:28:17.190 --> 00:28:20.790
Let's just say you're fleeing from parents who are practicing witchcraft or

00:28:20.790 --> 00:28:23.770
practiced occult rituals or sexual abuse.

00:28:23.970 --> 00:28:27.590
By all means, you need to separate, keep your children away from them.

00:28:27.810 --> 00:28:30.750
But for most of you, that is not the issue.

00:28:30.910 --> 00:28:34.650
The issue is one of bitterness, fear, control, and witchcraft,

00:28:34.650 --> 00:28:37.230
where you're cutting yourself off, you're letting your wife,

00:28:37.390 --> 00:28:40.190
you're letting your husband decide we're not going to see my parents,

00:28:40.230 --> 00:28:44.310
your parents anymore because we don't like them. Because why? Because why?

00:28:44.684 --> 00:28:48.144
You're not honoring them. You just think you want to control,

00:28:48.284 --> 00:28:50.124
you want things your way, or maybe you're jealous.

00:28:50.304 --> 00:28:53.604
Maybe the child likes the grandparent and you're feeling insecure about that.

00:28:53.904 --> 00:28:57.424
Well, I'm telling you something very seriously, that this is on the mind of God.

00:28:57.604 --> 00:29:03.444
He is very unhappy with people who divide their families over relationships.

00:29:04.044 --> 00:29:08.384
This is not okay, unless there's vile sin involved where it needs to be cut

00:29:08.384 --> 00:29:11.864
off, where there's physical, sexual abuse, immorality, stuff like that.

00:29:11.984 --> 00:29:17.884
But this, for most of you, you're calling yourself Christians and you are not

00:29:17.884 --> 00:29:22.104
being or abiding or being Christ-like in the way you're treating your parents.

00:29:22.244 --> 00:29:23.444
This is a sin of omission.

00:29:23.604 --> 00:29:27.704
You're omitting, you know, owe no man anything but to love. You're pulling away

00:29:27.704 --> 00:29:30.344
your grandchildren from access to their grandparents.

00:29:30.604 --> 00:29:36.084
And I have had so many clients, I can't tell you over the years how many grandmas

00:29:36.084 --> 00:29:39.924
and grandpas and mothers and fathers have come weeping that they can't,

00:29:39.924 --> 00:29:44.244
they're cut off from their grandchildren because of what? For nothing.

00:29:44.504 --> 00:29:46.644
It was really a nothing.

00:29:46.964 --> 00:29:54.644
And so the rest of their life, they're cut off from that godly influence, that godly support.

00:29:54.824 --> 00:29:57.544
And by the way, moms and dads, you do need your parents' support.

00:29:57.564 --> 00:30:00.904
If you have that and you're cutting that off and rejecting that,

00:30:01.084 --> 00:30:02.964
then you're shooting your own foot. Because you know what?

00:30:03.064 --> 00:30:07.344
We all need one another in this world so much the more now as we see the evil days approaching.

00:30:07.624 --> 00:30:11.384
And so if you have done that, and I'm speaking to someone, I know you're listening

00:30:11.384 --> 00:30:15.184
to me right now. I think you're even in your car listening to me. But you know what?

00:30:15.444 --> 00:30:19.064
You need to repent. You need to stop this. You're falling into the devil's trap

00:30:19.064 --> 00:30:22.424
and you're letting your wife or your husband control you.

00:30:22.684 --> 00:30:25.604
You need to go back to honoring your mother and father.

00:30:25.804 --> 00:30:28.964
That doesn't mean you have to obey them and everything they do and say,

00:30:29.084 --> 00:30:30.704
but honor is different than obedience.

00:30:30.964 --> 00:30:35.604
You're now required to honor them, which means you don't have to obey them.

00:30:35.724 --> 00:30:38.804
You have to make your own choices because you're of age, but at the same time,

00:30:39.084 --> 00:30:42.544
you keep honoring them, which means you take care of them, maybe in their old age.

00:30:42.664 --> 00:30:46.404
Maybe some of you are great at that. You've stayed by their bedside until they

00:30:46.404 --> 00:30:50.804
were old, but don't deprive your parents of their grandchildren.

00:30:51.264 --> 00:30:54.724
And I really believe that this is a sin people don't think of as a sin.

00:30:54.824 --> 00:30:58.104
As a matter of fact, let me read you a whole bunch of sins that we don't think

00:30:58.104 --> 00:31:00.924
of as sins at all, and they're sins we commit all the time.

00:31:01.044 --> 00:31:04.004
I'll just read a list. See if you got any on this list that work for you.

00:31:04.824 --> 00:31:08.944
Forms and practices of sin that do not first appear sinful or wrong or deadly.

00:31:09.104 --> 00:31:14.584
Examples of these kinds of sins would be worry, denial, murmuring,

00:31:15.044 --> 00:31:22.724
ingratitude, self-reliance, self-indulgence, doubt, criticism.

00:31:23.684 --> 00:31:24.624
Minimizing sin,

00:31:25.491 --> 00:31:33.851
excuse-making, coldness, isolation, indifference, apathy, religious practices.

00:31:34.471 --> 00:31:37.951
And the substitution of our own works for surrender to God.

00:31:38.191 --> 00:31:41.151
These are all sins that you would not think of as sins. Worry,

00:31:41.271 --> 00:31:45.231
fear, anxiety, denying God, disobeying with an excuse.

00:31:45.471 --> 00:31:48.331
Well, you know, I'm giving all my money to the temple now so I don't have to

00:31:48.331 --> 00:31:49.491
take care of my aging parents.

00:31:49.851 --> 00:31:53.051
These kinds of things won't fly in the kingdom of God.

00:31:53.611 --> 00:31:56.351
And so examine yourself. Let the Holy Spirit examine you.

00:31:56.751 --> 00:31:59.991
Get back on course. Be righteous, pure, holy. Be true to yourself.

00:32:00.251 --> 00:32:03.431
Walk in the destiny that the Lord has called you to. And of course,

00:32:03.611 --> 00:32:07.011
the fallen angels, the enticers, the enchantments, the chimes,

00:32:07.131 --> 00:32:11.711
they're all going to be there all the time. But you can put your eyes on Jesus

00:32:11.711 --> 00:32:14.271
Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you.

00:32:14.331 --> 00:32:17.351
You can walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

00:32:17.531 --> 00:32:21.071
The flesh is the mind, will, and emotions that feel, think, and try to figure

00:32:21.071 --> 00:32:22.151
things out through confusion.

00:32:22.151 --> 00:32:25.591
And this brings me to my last point of the day,

00:32:25.731 --> 00:32:33.751
and that is how can we operate in the kingdom of God and discern and advance

00:32:33.751 --> 00:32:39.031
the kingdom of God by acting under the notion that there are three kingdoms,

00:32:39.291 --> 00:32:43.271
that there being a third kingdom, the junk box of I don't know.

00:32:43.611 --> 00:32:48.971
This is the junk box of chaos and ignorance and uncertainty and offers no hope

00:32:48.971 --> 00:32:56.051
and no concrete answers, no solutions, no resolve to sin, injustice, or to exalt the truth.

00:32:56.191 --> 00:32:58.951
So how many of us, we know, what did Jesus say?

00:32:59.531 --> 00:33:03.051
There's heaven and hell, in or out, for me or against me, hot or cold,

00:33:03.511 --> 00:33:07.191
light or darkness, you know, God or mammon, all these things, one or the other.

00:33:07.571 --> 00:33:12.091
And yet we have convinced ourselves there's a third kingdom of, I don't know.

00:33:12.731 --> 00:33:16.271
It's an accident. It's an alien. It's mental illness.

00:33:17.251 --> 00:33:20.091
Jesus said, by their fruits, you shall know them. And if there's three kingdoms,

00:33:20.231 --> 00:33:22.931
that does not work. So there has to be only two kingdoms.

00:33:23.111 --> 00:33:26.691
It has to be in or out, yes or no, God or the devil, from heaven or hell.

00:33:26.871 --> 00:33:30.131
And so when Jesus said, by their fruits, you shall know them,

00:33:30.331 --> 00:33:32.811
what is the fruit of the third kingdom?

00:33:33.931 --> 00:33:37.211
Chaos, confusion, ignorance, and apathy.

00:33:38.491 --> 00:33:43.171
So what do we need to know? We need to stop buying into the world's system.

00:33:43.811 --> 00:33:48.571
The God of this world has taught us that to believe, well, it's just an accident.

00:33:48.991 --> 00:33:51.871
It's, I just. Fate, what? Yeah.

00:33:52.291 --> 00:33:56.711
An alien, bad luck, mental illness, you know, and we just, okay,

00:33:57.111 --> 00:33:59.251
now I have, I've been diagnosed with whatever.

00:33:59.511 --> 00:34:03.211
And now I agree with that. I submit to that.

00:34:03.571 --> 00:34:07.511
You have just been, you've just been had, you've been slimed, you've been lied to.

00:34:08.091 --> 00:34:12.131
Get back into the order of God or the devil, yes or no, good or evil.

00:34:12.131 --> 00:34:16.271
And you say, well, that's pretty black and white. Well, it is pretty black and white, you know?

00:34:16.651 --> 00:34:21.091
You say, well, that's pretty judgmental. Well, I would say it's pretty wise because God set it up.

00:34:21.331 --> 00:34:26.391
And so today we're just gonna thank God for what the Lord is showing you.

00:34:26.531 --> 00:34:31.971
May I pray, Father God, that these words would go into our hearts and minds.

00:34:32.191 --> 00:34:37.811
And I see it like a harpoon with an arrow, a hook on the end of it,

00:34:38.251 --> 00:34:41.571
that when they would harpoon the whales to try to draw them out.

00:34:41.571 --> 00:34:45.411
But this harpoon is like the Word of God going into your heart,

00:34:45.431 --> 00:34:48.851
and it's going to hook in your heart until you act on it.

00:34:48.931 --> 00:34:51.831
You can't run away from it. You can't get away from the truth.

00:34:51.991 --> 00:34:54.691
You're going to have to submit to God, and you're going to have,

00:34:54.811 --> 00:34:59.051
through that, then fall into the place of getting back into the divine order

00:34:59.051 --> 00:35:04.251
of God's purpose for your life and how you live your life in regard to other people.

00:35:04.471 --> 00:35:08.611
And so, Father, I want to just do this right now. I want to forgive all of the

00:35:08.611 --> 00:35:13.451
mothers and fathers that have cut their parents off,

00:35:14.014 --> 00:35:17.514
from seeing their children or grandchildren because of offense,

00:35:17.714 --> 00:35:21.674
because of witchcraft, because of control, because of fear, because of insecurity,

00:35:22.034 --> 00:35:25.994
because of a word that was said, because of bitterness and unforgiveness.

00:35:27.154 --> 00:35:30.134
I forgive them. We forgive them. The Bible says, whoever sends you forgive their

00:35:30.134 --> 00:35:35.054
forgiveness. So we forgive you guys for what you have done, and we release you

00:35:35.054 --> 00:35:39.014
from that judgment and turn the judgment of this matter where you've been seduced

00:35:39.014 --> 00:35:41.614
and enticed by the enemy to separate from your families.

00:35:41.854 --> 00:35:45.394
We turn that over to the high court of heaven. And we ask for the testimony

00:35:45.394 --> 00:35:51.294
of Jesus Christ to testify on your behalf before the court to deliver and heal

00:35:51.294 --> 00:35:54.674
and set you free from the enticements and the allurements of separation and

00:35:54.674 --> 00:35:56.214
division that come from Satan.

00:35:56.614 --> 00:36:00.434
And Father God, I pray now for the return of the prodigals, all the return of

00:36:00.434 --> 00:36:02.694
the prodigals. You said before that notable day of the Lord,

00:36:02.934 --> 00:36:08.114
the hearts of the fathers would be turned back to their children and the children to the fathers.

00:36:08.234 --> 00:36:12.434
So Father God, for those mothers and fathers who are weeping and crying and

00:36:12.434 --> 00:36:16.394
waiting and wringing their hands and weeping at night because they want to see

00:36:16.394 --> 00:36:18.694
their children, they want to have a relationship with their grandchildren,

00:36:19.034 --> 00:36:22.194
I pray that you encourage them, and I pray that you would deal with this matter

00:36:22.194 --> 00:36:26.694
according to the judgment and rule of the Most High God in the court of heaven.

00:36:27.074 --> 00:36:30.674
Father, we ask these things in the name of Jesus, and according to your testimony, Lord Jesus,

00:36:31.034 --> 00:36:35.874
let it be done, and that the demons that have broken relationships and bound

00:36:35.874 --> 00:36:40.554
relationships and caused this bitterness and offense be exposed and removed

00:36:40.554 --> 00:36:41.834
from the hearts, the souls,

00:36:41.974 --> 00:36:46.534
the minds, and the relationships of the people who have been entangled in this vicious, terrifying,

00:36:46.954 --> 00:36:50.094
divisive thing Satan has set up in their family's father.

00:36:50.254 --> 00:36:53.734
Release them so the families can come into the place where we will all know

00:36:53.734 --> 00:36:56.394
that we are Christians by the love that we have for one another.

00:36:56.874 --> 00:37:01.094
Amen. Amen. And then there's the book, Doing Relationships God's Way.

00:37:01.494 --> 00:37:06.114
There's a chapter there, in fact, a chapter there about our relationship with sin.

00:37:06.314 --> 00:37:09.834
Yeah, actually there is. So everybody that's listening here would do well if

00:37:09.834 --> 00:37:14.374
you don't already have that book. I mean, everything about life is relationships. It is.

00:37:14.594 --> 00:37:17.814
And relationships have gotten so wacky.

00:37:18.236 --> 00:37:24.716
In our world. Yeah. But, you know, God's order for relationships is so important.

00:37:25.196 --> 00:37:27.096
And He has given us the order in His Word.

00:37:27.796 --> 00:37:32.676
And all your books are Bible-based and they're loaded with Scripture,

00:37:32.836 --> 00:37:35.136
but you put it together in such a powerful way.

00:37:35.316 --> 00:37:40.136
So, doing relationships God's way, you get it on Amazon plus Oh,

00:37:40.336 --> 00:37:42.456
and on liferecovery.com. Yes.

00:37:42.916 --> 00:37:47.596
Well, the Lord be with you, encourage you, set you free, and have a wonderful day.

00:37:47.280 --> 00:38:12.080
Music.

00:37:49.136 --> 00:37:56.236
I have an emergency. What is your location? Oh, my God.

00:38:03.236 --> 00:38:03.896
Three,

00:38:08.856 --> 00:38:09.416
two, one.

00:38:12.196 --> 00:38:15.916
Rescue Radio. Because there's a war for your soul.
