Hello everybody.

SPEAKER_01 0:06

We are coming to you by the word of God, by the branch of the Lord today. And we are looking into the scriptures so that we can learn some things. And the one thing that uh we have to realize is uh a lot of times people they read and they say, Well, that was way back on. Well, I got news for you that we're living in today. Jesus is here today, and he resurrected many years ago, and he is with the people today to try to help the people and call on the people to come. And uh just like he was then, uh, and I can tell y'all by personal experience that the one thing I will say Jesus Christ is the workingest person I have ever met in my life. Because he is a worker in his job, he is very serious. He's trying to call the people to come so that they can come to salvation. The one thing I want to let you know is Jesus Christ has enough love to save the whole world, but the whole world don't want him. So that comes down to the point that uh God said uh brought out to us in the scripture how that he said that if uh somebody was of God that they would hear God's words. But uh Jesus even said, I am not sin, but unto the lost sheep of the house of evil. And we know that we are the ones that make up the uh house of evil because we were Gentiles, carried away with all the gods, and we were able to receive uh uh uh our uh salvation through Jesus Christ because God changed us uh from a Gentile to a Jew through Jesus Christ. And you find that in Romans chapter 2, about verse 29, along there it brings out to you that we are uh not an outward Jew, but we are an inward Jew. On the outside we look, there's many different nationalities in the world today, but the one thing that we look, we look past that to look to the inner man that is uh within a person, which is say in their heart and in their mind. And so if a person becomes converted from the world under Jesus Christ, then the thing of it is they have uh uh brought forth the inner man, and we know that God told us, he said, every man receives a measure uh of faith by the seed that God puts in them. So that seed that is put in them is Christ. So uh, and their heart is the wound that the seed goes into to bring forth. But the other thing I want to let you know in a parable form so that you will understand this. Uh, every woman that the seed is plant put in to have a child, uh, every woman does not carry that child all nine months. They can be complications, uh, of many different kinds of complications, and they would end up having a miscarriage. And uh there's many out there today that all across the world, that many of them have miscarriages because they don't carry the baby the full nine months, and then some of them does, and the baby's born still uh still born. But anyway, what I'm uh getting this parable to get you to understand is this God puts his seed, which is the seed of Christ, in your heart, which is your womb. And you are to take that seed, if a woman takes, when she receives the seed to have a child, and she takes care of her body and she eats the right food and she does the right thing, and try to follow all the things that she should do in her pregnancy, then uh a very high uh uh percentage rate is that she's gonna have a nice healthy child, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl. She's gonna have a nice healthy child, and that's on, you know, the general rule. Uh but like I said, sometimes there's complications. But nevertheless, I want you to understand that when God loves you so much, when you asked him to forgive you of your sin, and he puts Christ in your heart, and Christ begins to develop within you, as the Lord said, He said, I will be in you, you and me, and us in the Father. So he brings it out very plain to us that we are in uh that situation when we are bringing forth Christ. So uh I want you to understand this and get a good understanding on it because you are responsible when you ask God to forgive you your sin, and he puts Christ in you, and he expects you to carry Christ until Christ is manifested. Paul said, I live yet my life, but it is Christ that lives in me. And then there is another script today that brings that until we grow to the full stature in the merrier of Christ. So when Christ in us begins to develop and come forth and begin to um uh uh take over our bodies more and more, then we become the walking, talking, living word of God amongst the people. You're no longer yourself, you're bought with a price. God paid the price for you, and in exchange for your forgiveness and everything God says, I want to come into your body that I may go about and lead you about, a word that I can teach and help people, and let the people be reunited with me. Now, uh, this is very important to know. Many people today cast it off and they say, well, it don't mean nothing, and many of them are not speaking these things or preaching these things today, to let a personal relationship with God grow that they can become a very good worker in Christ Jesus. Now, uh, we have many out there in the land today. There's over 45,000 plus different religions. And brothers and sisters, I'm gonna tell you this, but there's not but one true. Out of all of them, there is not but one true religion, and God gave everything to his Son Jesus Christ. He did not give it to all of these other religions. He did not give them anything. What they got, they got by force and by power, and they took it. And they did not get it by right, so therefore they're gonna lose it. And every one of them is gonna have to bow down before the cross of Jesus Christ to ask forgiveness if they're gonna enter into the kingdom of God. And that's very important to know. Uh, today uh people think that they uh there's a doctrine in the land that teaches people, says, Well, Jesus went up in the air and he's up here on Mars and Jupiter somewhere, and we can live like we want to. And a lot of ministers tell them, say, well, just come to church, and if you're doing all these things this week uh that is not pleasing to God, just ask Jesus to forgive you and he'll forgive you, and get up and go out there and do the same thing again next week. That's not true. That's not the way God worked. When you repent of something, that means you turn away from it. You do not support it anymore. You do not let it work in you anymore, because you have come to the knowledge to overcome that thing by the grace of God that God gives you through Jesus Christ by his Spirit. Now, uh people say today, they ask the question, and I tell them, I say, look, I say, and a lot of people in the world uh they ask questions, but the the answer to them is this, and that is this one thing. I tell them if they're in Christ, I try to help. But if they have not uh started seeking after the Lord Jesus Christ, I tell them, I said, listen, I said, I can answer your question out of the scriptures, what God said. I said, but the one thing is you're not gonna understand anything that is said because you do not have the Spirit of God in you to interpret it in the spiritual sense. And you will not know and you will not understand. And that is encouraging them that if you want to know something about God, you've got to have his spirit in you. And the only way you can receive that spirit is to receive Jesus Christ into your heart, and begin to love and cherish him and follow him. And he will also teach you and bring you to the Father, teach you of the Father, and what it means, he will teach you of the Father, of what his nature's like, what God is like, what we're to be like, and all these things is important to know. Because we're gonna read some scripture here, and I want you to see, uh, because the same thing is going on in the land today, when you walk out your door and go out in the public uh in society today, the same thing is going on. And you say, well, what is the same thing? Well, the same thing we're gonna read here today is going on today, also, because people have many things they want to say and judge and all of these things, just like they did back then. People don't change, they're still flesh. Uh, so they come up with all kinds of ideas and thoughts and opinions about things, but it's not what they think or believe or anything, it's what God said in his word to teach them. And if they interpret it in the natural, then therefore they have lost out a 50% of the understanding. Uh, because God said that which is first is natural, then that which is spiritual. So you have to understand what God is trying to tell you now. But let's see why Jesus approached this. Uh, and I am in Matthew chapter 22 and starting at verse 23, and we're gonna look through this part in the parable in the chapter 23. But it says, the same day came to him, the Sadducee. Now the Sadducees were a big denomination religious fruit, just like you got many denominations out there today. All right, the same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection. As a lot of people today say, when you go to the uh uh natural grave and they put you in that dirt, that you ain't coming up. Well, Jesus come up. What you gonna say about him? Uh, it's very important to know these things. But he said here, and they ask him, saying, Master Moses said, If a man die having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up the seed unto his brother. All right. Now there were with us seven brothers, and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and having no issue, he didn't have no seed, left his wife unto his brother, likewise the second also, and the third unto the seventh, all the brothers died, and all of them had this one woman. And last of all, the woman died also. Therefore, in the resurrections, whose wife shall she be of the seven, for they all had her. See, they thought they were being slick. All this denomination came together and said, with all their wisdom and knowledge and understanding everything they could put together with their education, all they could come up with was a question like this. And many of the highly educated people in those days tried to get Jesus. They tried to get him in speech. They listen to what he told him in verse 29. Jesus answered and said unto them, You do err. One scripture says you do greatly err, not knowing the scriptures, that's the first fall. They didn't read and pray, and they didn't read God's word. They read all them other books that uh Satan has written and put out there. All right. Listen, not knowing the scriptures, they didn't know anything about God's word. They didn't tell y'all about man's books, man's Bibles, and man's interpretation and all that, but they couldn't tell you because he said, not knowing the scriptures, which the King James Version Bibles written off of the scrolls, and uh King James brought uh 50 some scholars together, and they studied the scrolls and brought uh the words out that come off of the scroll in uh uh Libu, Latin and Hebrew and brief, they had to have all of these words to prove what that one word said, and then they wrote it and brought it forth in uh King James distributed among the people so that everybody could know to serve God. All right. And said by him, they didn't know the scriptures, nor the Bible of God. All right, that's what's wrong in the land today. People run after all these other books and has made them a whole lot more ignorant and unlearned than he has hoping in growing the spirit of God. The spirit is given to every man to profit with. That's why God uses his spirit to teach you his word that you may learn how to follow him in the spirit and in the word. That's the two witnesses. Uh people come up, well, Moses is one of them. Elijah's one of those. They done served in their time, they done gave their life and served in the time that they were here and gave God praise. They went to their reward. The two that is laying in the street today is the spirit and the word. Why? Because nobody is lifting them up. And it has come time that people know what they're doing, because they have brought a church, which is the mediator between God and man. They have brought a church out of the heavenly places and brought it down to the earth, and there's all kind of devils and things in the churches now, and bringing forth the doctrines and the teachings and commandments of men, and the people are being pressed down under a rule of thumb to submit themselves to these things, and they therefore are miserable, blind, poor, and naked, and not understanding that if they will repent and follow God's word by his spirit, that God will raise them up out of the dust, out of their grave, for they are dead to God, and will bring them up out of their grave, that they may serve God and Christ Jesus and keep rising and go coming up higher and higher. They will be resurrected out of that, and they can become to enjoy the places as Brother Paul said in Ephesians chapter 2 and 6, that we can become what? With Christ in the heavenly places. But now with the church being pressed down and held down and lied to and manipulated by false prophets, by those teaching the spirit, only in the natural and not bringing out the spiritual revelation of God, because they don't have it, they don't understand. So they just go to these schools of men to be taught by man, to bring out the doctrines and teachings of man, to make the people disciples of men, and not the disciples of God. And that's the reason the blessings are not coming down. The scripture brings out to us when we send the sacrifices up to God, that the God will send the blessings down. What does it mean to sacrifice? Helping people find Jesus Christ and that God, who is the consuming fire, will burn away the sin on a daily basis as they grow out of their light. They will become to obtain knowledge that they need to walk and talk with God, that they need God in their life. But they cannot get it through the operations of the man's doctrine and teaching. Jesus condemned that uh and brought it out very plain to all of us not to go after the doctrine and the teachings of man, but to go after the one true God, which is Jesus Christ, God through Jesus Christ by the Holy Ghost. And see, he done told them right here that whole uh uh denomination of people, which were a multitude of them, the Sadducees, with all their highly education was not able to come up with no better question than this. Therefore, in the resurrection, two wife shall she be of the Satan. For they all had her. And Jesus told them you do greatly err. That's why people err today, they go astray. They're going further and further away from God. Because the ministers that I hear today is telling the people, well, all of your blessings and benefits and everything God uh has for you is out there yonder on Mars or Jupiter or somewhere out there. And that is not true. God said, He said, I will be in you, I will walk in you, I will talk in you. Your body is the temple of God. And God therefore has made it plain to you that he said that God, that's why God sent Christ to uh therefore to uh save us, is so that Christ can come in us and clean us up, because he said the foxes of the hole, the foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head. The head of Christ is God. God wants to, uh Christ wants to put his Father in you, which is the Spirit, and they all are one. It says one of them is all three, and all three of them are one. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. And how can this be? Because they all got the same mind, people. The same mind. They think the same way, they act the same way, they do the same way. And God is asking us, come and be as I not what man teaches you to be, but what God teaches you to be. And uh another big lie, I mean a big lie, and it has kept a lot of young people out of the church, is when these ignorant, unlearned teachers and preachers tell them, Well, you can't do this, you can't do that, you can't do that. One guy said, Well, you know, I like to hunt, preacher jumping, oh you can't do that, that's a sin. Another one said, Well, you know, I like to go swimming and fishing, oh, you can't do that, that's a sin. They're always telling you what you can't do, but they are not telling you what you can do. But I encourage you today, the only when you want to go fishing, you pray and ask the Lord about going fishing. Always return to your first love and ask him, he's your father, he's the one that leads you and guides you and protect you. And if he lets you know, gives you that peace that it's okay for you to go fishing, you go fishing. If therefore, if you pray and ask him, I love the hunt, and you want to go hunting, and you get peace from God about it, then you go. Because God lets you enjoy all the things that he's created for your benefit. Don't listen to these lying, unless ignorant preachers that tell you you can't do this and you can't do that, and you can't do the other. Preachers, you better get on top of it and you better learn what God's talking about and understand and help people to enjoy life. Jesus said, I come that you might have life and have it more abundantly. But so many preachers have got people under the rule of thumb, oh, you you can't do this, and you can't do that, and you can't. And all they are is teaching a man-made doctrine. That's all it is. But now let's listen. For ended resurrection, they need a marriage. Jesus told this them because he told them, you do err, go astray, go the wrong way, teaching the wrong things. You do err, not knowing number one the scriptures, all right, know the power of God. In verse 30, for ended resurrection, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Now you see, he gave that there is a lot of understanding in that one scripture there. I want you to understand that. Because when you therefore resurrect Jesus Christ in the heavenly places, you are not bound by anyone but by Christ. Your wife can't tell you that you can't do this and you can't do that, because you tell us let's sit down at the table and pray about it, and let's ask God. What we can do and what we can't do. And that is where you gain a lot of wisdom and knowledge and power over all of these wicked, evil rulers that's in the land. Because the scripture tells us plainly, the anointing, which is the Spirit of God, the anointing breaks every yoke. When you and your wife and your family get to the table and you begin to pray together and ask God about things that is a concern for you and your family and your church family, and these things, and you're concerned about all these things, about the goings and the comings and the things that you pray about them. Take time to pray. Get at the table with your family and pray and ask God, Father, please lead me and guide me in these decisions that we're about to make. And ask God, please, to teach you and lead you and guide you for your safety, your wife's safety, your children's safety, because God is able to save you from all things. Man can't do that, but God can. Man only knows how to put burdens on you, how to make man-made laws to take your money away from you, and these type things. They therefore they uh to make it real plain to you, so you can understand, all the doctrine and teachings of man and man-made laws is for this one thing. For them to take what you have worked hard for, and for them to take it by force and by power. That's the way they take it from you. If you don't pay us a certain amount of money, we're gonna take your house, we're gonna take your car, we're gonna take this, and we're gonna take that. That's force and power. We're gonna put you in jail. Force and power. But now the government of God answers you this way. God said, if you come willingly, I will give unto you. I will lead you, I will guide you, I will teach you. So if you support God willingly and do the things that God has asked you to do willingly by his spirit and being willingly to his spirit and to his word, you do it willingly. You're not under force and power. But God said, he said, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedient. And you say, well, why does that happen? Because this. God tells us that he loves us and that he does this to help turn us to come in the right direction. All things are set up, and God is in control. All these things you see going on in the world today, God is in control. God said he rose up nations and destroyed nations. If a nation don't do what God wants it to, then therefore God will rise up another nation against that nation to destroy it. God is the one that's the boss over all this, not man. And people fail with understanding in there, with all they get and get understanding, but people don't try to get understanding. They just stand around and speak vain words into the air that don't mean anything. For in the resurrection, they need a marriage, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. God tells you when to go, where to go, and what to do, and if you and your wife are in the Spirit of God, you will have that same mutual understanding. And that is very important. Alright? But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which is spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Learn to live in God. Lay your life down and come alive in God. It's very simple. When you are in the world, you walk like the world, you talk like what is in the world? Lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. What else is in the flesh? Adultery, fornication, envious, tribe, jealousy, hatred, virus, assimilation, wrath, price, sedition, and judgment. That's in the flesh. And if you walk in the flesh, you shall die. It is written in Romans chapter 8. But I want to make it very plain to you. When you are alive in the world, you're dead to God. God does not send people out through the flesh and teaching things of the flesh to hate and envy fry them all. He don't do that. God is the God of the living. When you become alive in Christ, then you become dead to the world. You no longer participate in things of the works of the flesh. Notice how I use that term, the works of the flesh. Okay? You no longer are active in those things. Because then you become active in God because you have come alive, and you therefore God told you, he said, even telling you what his nature is like. What your heavenly fathers like. People say, well, I wonder what it's like. Well, it's written in the book, in the Holy Bible, the King James Version, it's written in there to tell us what our father's like. Because it tells us that he is what? Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, temper, faith, meekness. What the scripture says against there is a uh there is no law against that. Well, when we become alive in God, he wants us to be just like him. God is a spirit. You must worship God as spirit and in truth. For the Father seeketh such to worship him. So when you therefore become transformed from the world, and you work and you labor and you read and you pray and you become in the image of God, which is the spirit, and the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, all these things, all of goodness, then you become in his image, in his likeness, then therefore you have become alive unto God, and you have crucified and put away that that is of the world. And God said he would destroy the world, but he did not say the earth. Because it is written in the scripture, the earth abideth forever. So all of you need to sit down and begin to go through and rightly divide the world as truth. You preachers need to sit down and do that too, and let God teach you a thing or two. Because you've been in the doctrine of man and been brainwashed into that so long until it's hard for you to take and rightly divide. All right, let's look at that. God said, I'll destroy the world. The world is the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of light. All right, God said, I'm gonna destroy the world, and God will. He'll destroy that by the coming of Christ in each and every person. All right, it will destroy those things. But the people will begin to live unto God. But God said in the scripture, he said, the earth abideth forever. The earth is God's footstool that he created for his people. He did not create it for the devil and his people. He created it for his children, the family of God, the footstool, the earth. And God says in his word that the earth abideth forever. So now I want you to understand the difference in what God is saying here by dividing the word of truth. And understanding that that is in darkness is all those things below. And God is trying to call the people out of that. God is trying to get you to what? To lift up the spirit and the word, the two witnesses, and let them live in you to lift up Christ, which is the body of Christ, which is the church, which is the mediator between God and man. And we need to put or lift up Jesus Christ, lifting him up, is lifting the church up and putting them back in heavenly places, and the church needs to be washed with the washing of the water by the word and get those devilish earthly things out of the church. Because Jesus said, My father's house shall be called a house of prayer, and y'all have drugged in about everything you can to corrupt God's house. Do you not understand in Genesis when God said that the flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth? There was many times that the church rose up all through the scriptures, all back in when Israel was coming up, and all the people that joined to Israel, coming out of many nations, many different nationalities, just come and joined up with Israel because they came to seek the Lord their God. And there were many times that the church rose up very powerful and ruled in the land and took over nations and kingdoms. And then coming on down the line, there was times that another generation came up and they done the same thing the people done today. They brought the church down to the earth to live like deer, to walk like deer, talk like deer, all corn-minded things, teachings, all the things, the enemy striving and jealousy, watching preachers argue for us and fight over some denominational uh ignorance, these type things, these things got to be put away. Do you not understand this? When I quote this, let's see if you got the Spirit of God with you. When it said, and all the people come together as one man. The multitudes of people. They all come together as one man and went up to Jerusalem. Do you not understand that, the coming together of the body of Christ? And that we all, Jesus said, what? Go you up to Jerusalem and wait for the promise, which he said to you have heard of me? Don't you understand that? You don't even know what Jerusalem is today. You're saying that the Jerusalem, the natural Jerusalem over yonder across the water, you say, Well, that's if. Well, man made that if. Because in 1948, that Israel across the water became a nation. But now when did the spiritual Israel that God created for himself, when did it come about? You can go back in Genesis around chapter 37, and it tells you that God told Jacob, said, Your name no longer be Jacob, but it will be Israel. That is the Israel that God is talking about, and us coming up to join, just like people did way back then, as you use that term. People back then, they were coming out from the Hivites, Parasites, Jebesites, Syria, any other of the nations you were talking about, and they were coming joining up with Israel. They come and the way it was brought out, and when they come to Israel, they just vote them in and set them in office. Why? Because they had all that contaminated, lying doctrine of man in them. So what happened? They come to the outer court. And the teachers and all in the outer court began to wash them by the washing of the water by the word and clean all that other doctrine and teachings and junks out of them and taught them the doctrine of God that was in it. And then when they became pure, they were offered up as a sacrifice to see if God would accept them or not. So when they come to the door, and you know, Christ is that door. When they come to the door and the priest would be praying, the Spirit of God would search that person out to see if they had put away all of the leprosy, which is the works of the flesh, out of their uh and had been cleaned thoroughly by God's word and by the water. The living water. And if they had, God would accept them to the inner court. And then God would prepare works and all for them to do as long as they obeyed his voice. But if they got in there and they didn't do their job, they'd be put back out in the outer court. They'd get fired. You ever been fired on a job for not doing your job right? Well, if you go in the inner court and you don't do your job right, you'll get fired and you'll be put back out in the outer court. And if you keep rebelling, God will take you out of the outer court and put you back out there in the world. But if you do that that you're supposed to and do it the way God says in His Word, then you will come through the outer court. It don't matter what national nation you come out of, you will become through the outer court and you will be taught. You will come to the door of the inner court. God's Spirit will search you out, even to the deep, the mire of the bone and everything. Make sure you are clean. Then he will accept you into the inner court and put you to work. It's just that simple. And it doesn't matter what your outward nationality is, from what uh nationality or what country you're from, that has nothing to do with it because it's Christ in you that counts. Christ in you. When God looks at you, he wants to see his son in you, not down the road, Daniel, somewhere. And not like people telling you, well, you ain't got no hope or nothing because Jesus is out there on Mars and Jupiter. He left this planet, but didn't he tell you I'm coming back? What was he coming back to? He's coming back in you. In you. Didn't you say, Jesus come into my heart, into my life? Didn't you give yourself to him for that purpose, that he would clean you up, and that he would put his head, which is God in you, his father? That you will become his temple, that he could live in, walk in, talk in, dwell in. You become the walk and talk and live in the word of God in shoe leather? Is not that what he cleaned you up for? Is not that what he purposed for you? You look at all the mess he took us out of. You go back and read through the scriptures all about those things which are below, and you see the mess that we were in. That's that first birth. A lot of preachers today, they hop and talk about being born again, but they don't sit down and teach the people all about the first birth, what kind of mess they're in. We are born in shape and iniquity, all that. They don't sit down and go through the scriptures and teach them all those things which are below. That's the first birth. And let them understand that is why it becomes so needful to come through the phonemont, to come to heavenly places in Christ Jesus, being taught of God. John 6, 45, it is written in the prophets, and they shall all be taught of God. Isaiah 54, 13, and all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy children. Alright, he said, I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. God is not the God of the dead, those in dead and see if and trespasses, but of the living, those that have resurrected God, uh sent Christ the Son, and spoke the words whichever son it was. And the people heard and believed it, and they become a living person, then alive unto God, but dead to the world. And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his daughter. But when the Pharisees heard had heard that he had put the Sadducees to side, they will gather together. Here comes another big denomination. Multitudes of people coming up with the best educated question that they could ask. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, y'all understand that word, lawyer, asked them a question, tempting him, saying, Master, which is the great commandment of the law? Now listen to this. He asked him, Now, you tell me which is the most important commandment that God gave us. And here's Jesus' answer. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy what? Mind. This is the first and great commandment. Alright? And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Now you see what he's talking about? Love. When God comes in you, God is love and God teaches you how to love. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, What think you of Christ? Whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. Christ came from the house in the lineage of David. He saith unto them, How then doeth David in spirit, not in the flesh? How doeth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then called him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word. Neither doest any man from that day forth asked him any more questions. Jesus, taught of God, the Son of God, put two great denominations down, and all through the scriptures you will find where he done that many times. Because why? He was able to do that. Because he knew the scriptures and the power of God. And so do we, because he teaches us the same things as we grow up in him. And then you learn about how ignorant and unlearned many of these questions that people bring up are. Chapter 23. This make Jesus to the multitude and to his disciples. Now see, it already tells you there that there was a multitude of them. The Sadducees, the Pharisees, the scribes, all of them, a whole bunch of them. Saying, The scribe and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. They're the ones sitting up there. And they sitting in Moses' seat. What does that mean? They're reading the scriptures. They're quoting the law. They're reading it off of a piece of paper. And they're standing there and they quoting it and they reading it. Jesus didn't have to have that because it was already in him, as he is in you, and he brings the word of the Spirit in you. And you answer them the very same way. The very same way you answered it. Because what gives God gives you to say, that's what you say. What do you think Jesus got his answer from? He said, I descripted. By the power of God, which is the revelation of God by the Spirit. Because they said in Moses C, and they quote the law. You can't do this, and you can't do that, and you can't do the other. Everything over and over. Every Sunday goes people go sit down hoping that they can get something from God. And all they hear. Well, you can't do this, and you can't, thou shall not, thou shall not. How about telling people what they can do? I tell people you can receive forgiveness of sin. You can be raised up out of the dust, out of the world. You can come forth out of the grave, being dead in your sins and your trespasses. Jesus can raise you up and began to bring you up higher and higher. And higher and higher, there's no limit. God got angry with the people because they limit God. We're just gonna do so much and we ain't doing no more. I go to church and that's all I'm gonna do. I ain't gonna read the Bible, I ain't gonna pray, ain't gonna do nothing. That's all I'm gonna do. I'm just gonna go to the limit God. Many of them lose by that. All therefore, whatsoever they bid you, observe. That observe and do. But do not ye act of their works. Don't go out there and start doing as the crowd of people around you do. You keep what God has told you to do. For they say and do not. They just become hearers of the word and not doers. God taught us to be hearers and doers. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be born. This is that force and power we were talking about. And lay them on men's shoulders, for they themselves will not move them with one of their family. They will help in no way, shape, form or fashion with the work. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be born, and lay them on men's shoulders. But they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do for to be seen of men. Look at me, look at me, look at me. God said I will not give my glory to another. But all their works they do for to be seen of men, for they make broad their philaries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, all their showings off of everything. The house, their cars, all these kinds of money, all of that. And love the uttermost rooms at the feast and chief seats in the synagogue. I want to be the big shot, I'm the big shot. And greetings in the markets and to be called of men, rabbi rabbi. But be ye not called rabbi for one is your master, even Christ, and all of you are brother, love you one another as I have loved you. Walk together, talk together, work together, love together, teach together.

SPEAKER_00 45:54

All of these things are very important. Alright?

SPEAKER_01 46:01

And he told them, don't you be called rabbi, but you try to help the people and be brothers and all have the same mind and the same voice and the same heart and the same soul and the same teachings. The same teachings. Because Christ will not show me that a light is a transfer of truck and show you that the transfer of truck is a crane or something else. He shows us all the same thing through the word. Alright? And call no man your father upon the earth. Your one, for one is your father, which is in heaven. Neither be you called masters, for one is your master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. Your servant is the one that goes back to the kitchen and get the food that is cooked by a fire and brings it back out and serves you at your table. Jesus is calling. Jesus needs many disciples today. He needs many people to come. That he can take and begin to train them and teach them. And he's got a table set for you, a spiritual table, that you and your spirit can go and sit down to with Christ. And therefore, by him being your servant, he will take the servants that are with him and take and bring the food that has been cooked by the fire, God is that consuming fire. And he will bring it out and set the food on the table, the spiritual food, the spiritual teachings, that you can sit there and eat to the full. That he may help you grow up just like you take your child when it's little. The same process with Christ. And you grow up, let that little child grow up the same process with you. You grow up in Christ. Desire to send you a milk of the word that you may grow thereby and all the things. But he comes out and served you and he does that to us every day. We eat three meals a day. Why don't you go to Christ three times a day? And try to set it to table with him in the spirit, not the flesh. And let him teach you out of his word what he is having you to grow up to be. Do you not understand? God is calling you to be employed by him. He is asking you to come and take the job that I created you for and want you to be. Will you come to God to be taught that job? Or will you just stay on the earth and live your life, be a miserable, poor, blind, and naked, and living your life in pure living hell, torment with all the things around him. Jesus can bring you out of death if you cleave to him. There was two brothers talking one time, and one brother told the other one, he said, I got a problem. And that brother told the other one, he said, I got the answer. He said, My brother, he said, if you will grab the hood of God and hold on to him whatever thing you got. He said, Before you reach bottom, God will show up. You give God time, he can do anything. And I thought that was one of the greatest answers I had ever heard. But you got to hold on to God. You can't be like a yo-yo up and down and all that stuff. If you do, you're not going to receive. You become unstable. A double-minded man is unstable in all his way. Can't make up your mind where you want to be up or down. Can't make up your mind where you want to be in the heavenly place in Christ, or damn running around playing in the world, in the flesh. Make up your mind, make a decision. The judgment of God is very near in the valley of decision, here it is written. You can't stand straddling the fence, you've got to make your mind up one side the other. In the flesh, in the darkness and hate and all that uh tormented stuff, or in the spirit live with God. Love, joy, peace, long suffering. All these things. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abused. And he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Said you humble yourself as a little child, you shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of God. But well until you scribes and Pharisees and hypocrites, trying to straddle the things. For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men. They don't want to tell you there and say, No, don't get excited about this thing. Just come to church and sit in the peers. Bring your money in. That's all we expect. That's not what the church is for. The church is the mediator between man and God. What does that mean? The church is supposed to have like a revolving door. People coming in being taught of God sent back out of the world. But they take them in today and make them the disciples for some denomination or some doctrine or belief, and they become a doctrine or disciple of that. They don't become a disciple of God.

SPEAKER_00 52:01

You got to understand who you disciple are. Alright?

SPEAKER_01 52:09

But woe unto the scribes, Pharisees, and for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men. For you need to go in yourselves. Neither suffer you them that are entering to go in. You block the door. You don't want them to go in and learn knowledge, oh God, the wisdom and all that. What do you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites? For you divide with us houses, and for pretense make long prayer. Therefore you shall receive the greater damnation. Well do you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites? For you can pass sea and land to make one proselyte, get one person to come, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourself. Why do they bring him into some kind of man-made doctrine and teaching? Don't teach them about God because they ain't in God. They try to make him a slave and a servant unto them and their doctrine and their teachings. Paul said, I become a prisoner of my Lord Jesus Christ. That's the one that we become prisoners to. What unto you, you blind gods, which say whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing. But whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor. Now that's total foolishness, turning it back to matches. You fools, see what Jesus called them, you fools and blind. For whether is greater the gold or the temple that sanctifieth the gold. And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing, but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon the altar, he is given. See there, change it back to some natural greed and lust. You fools and blind, for whether it is greater the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift. Whosoever therefore shall swear by the altar swear by it, and by all things thereon. But whosoever shall swear by the temple, swear by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. He that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. Woe unto you scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites, for you paid tithe of mint and aness and coming, and have omitted the weightier matters, the greater matters of the law. Judgment, mercy, and faith. These ought you to have done judgment, mercy, and faith, and not leave the other undone. You blind gods which strain at a net and swallow count. What unto you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites, for you make clean the outside of the cup. Everybody wants to clean and dress up on the outside. Say, I'm this, I'm that, and I'm the other. You make the outside clean of the platter, but within you are full of extortion and excess, greed, lust, all the walks of the flesh. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within. Clean that up within, by the washing of the water by the words, what he said, which is within, clean it. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cub and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees said, for you are like unto white as scepticers, which he did appear beautiful outward, on the outward appearance, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanliness. You know, it's talking about swearing. You ever been to court? They tell you, do you solemnly swear? I say, No, I don't swear, because the government of God tells me not to. But I will affirm to tell the truth to the best of my ability. But I do not swear. Did that teach you all something? All through the land, all these things are set up this way. And the scripture finally says, swear not at all. So let's read on. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous in the men, see, outwardly appear to be righteous. But within you are full of hypocrites and iniquity which you seen. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you build the tombs of the prophets and garnish the septic of the righteous, and more as you make it shine pretty in everything. And you say, they say, Well, if we had been back in that time, in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Now that's what you just tell them. Wherefore you be witnesses unto yourselves that you are the children of them which killed the prophets, same thing today. All the people that back then taught the children to doctrine, all the way until our time today, the children in the land still carry these doctrines teaching. The Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Assyrians, the uh, just name them all. All of them, Hivite, Parasite, Jeffite. Name them all of their children still in the land today. But all of those that really want to serve the Lord God through Jesus Christ will come to Christ and come through the outer core first. And say, if we had been in the days of our fathers, we will not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophet. Will you be witnesses yourselves that you are the children of them which killed a prophet? Fill you up then in marriage of your father. You serpents, oh my, look what he call them. Call them people this now. This is people he's talking to and talking about. You serpents, you generation of virus, which are poisonous snakes. How can you escape the damnation of hell? All their doctrine and their teachings and everything is poison.

SPEAKER_00 58:40

How can you escape the damnation of hell? The torment of eternal fire.

SPEAKER_01 58:49

Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets and wise men and scribes, and some of them you shall kill and crucify, and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues, means put them down, not accept them, cast them out, and persecute them from city to city, going in front of you. When they find out you're going into a town to preach the gospel, they send people ahead of you and say, Well, you don't need to hear him. You don't need to hear what he's got to say. Done Jesus is the same way, Paul, Barnes, Rolling. Did you think that this serving God is just a joy ride? It is. Because you have joy in the Lord, but you also have a persecution from the people around you, and then that that calls you your brother or your sister. Now away with him. I don't want to hear that. I had one one time to tell me, say, well, I was sitting there and I was trying to minister to them to happen, and they said, Well, I don't want to hear that. I want to watch my TV program. Said a way with him. We don't, I don't want Jesus. I don't want what he's got to say. But then later on it was revealed to them what they'd done and they repented. God, please forgive me. I didn't mean it that way, but yet they done it. People say today, well, way with Jesus. I'm gonna go do what I'm gonna do. Well, you can do that. And you have it, it's your right to do that. But you're gonna face the consequences too. All right? That upon you, uh that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, son of uh Boschaias, whom you slew between the temple and the altar. He was trying to be a mediator. And they slew him, walking receiving, away with him. Villa, I say unto you, all these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! And he ain't talking about the one across the water over there either. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that thou killest the prophets and stonest them which are sin unto thee. How often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathers her cheeks or her beauties under her wings? And you would not. Behold, your house is left unto you desperate. For I say unto you, you shall not see me as for, till you shall say, Blessed is the sea that cometh in the name of the Lord. So all these things today, children, we have brought out to you. And I want to encourage you uh in something, because I want to show you what God said about uh this book that we're talking about, the King James Version Bible. And I'm gonna read you a script and I'm gonna tell you where it's at so that you can read. Alright? And then when we do this in closing, because I'm not trying to justify this, but I'm trying to let you know that the devils wrote a bunch of Bibles to you. That means people with a fleshly mind and a choral mind trying to tell you and interpret you what God means by his word. And God said not to do that, he said come to him. And the first scripture we're gonna look up is Exodus 31, 18. Alright, you ready? Exodus, if you got something to write it down with, write it down because it's gonna be important to you, because people's gonna ask you the this ignorant question too. Alright, listen, in Exodus chapter 31 and verse 18. So I'm gonna read it to you. And he gave unto Moses when he had made an end of communion with him upon Mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone written with the finger of God. That's the last verse in chapter 31 of Exodus. All right, let's read another script. Exodus 32 16. Okay, thirty-two sixteen. And the tables were the work of God. Not the work of man, but were the work of God. And the writings was the writing of God graven upon tables. The writings of God graven upon the tables. And Jesus went in and turned the tables over because you know, all the churches now got their own rules and their own tables and their own bylaws that they go by. But Jesus went in and he turned their tables over. He turned these things around trying to teach them that they were going the wrong way with what they were doing. All right, now we're gonna go to the book of Deuteronomy and chapter 9. And we're gonna read another scripture, and this will be in the conclusion of our message today. And I hope and pray that this message gets through to you. People, I'm trying to make it plain to you. And uh trying to make it plain is so that you can get some understanding and not be always under the shelter of some man or under some rule of thumb by me. That is the thing that I want to get you to so that you can be set free to serve God. And that's very important to us to be set free to serve God. That's the reason we're to put away the flesh, the works of the flesh.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:48

And um that we take and uh do the things the way God wants us to.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:00

So we're gonna look in uh Deuteronomy chapter nine and verse ten. Okay? And the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God. And on them was written according to all the words which the Lord spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire and the day of the assembly, about assembled together. And God spoke to them, and God wrote with his finger all the commandments that we have in this book that we have today. And he done it with his finger. Now, you carnal people, corn minded people, you looking at that and saying, Well, uh, God took his finger and wrote, Well, do you not understand? Understand the family of God, the body of God, and that those many members making up that body. Do you not understand what the fingers are for? The scripture said the fingers are teachers. So God took a person and told him what to write. And that's what he wrote. He didn't change, he didn't add to, he didn't take away. He wrote exactly what God said. And the fear of God will make you do that. If you don't have the fear of God, you say, well, I believe this, I believe that, I believe the other. It don't make no difference what you believe, just believe something. That's a logic. God teaches you in Christ how to believe, how to walk, how to talk, how to act, all these things that you do for the kingdom of God. And you understand that. God is your teacher by his spirit. Stay in this word. Grab a hold of the word of God and hold on to it with everything you've got and don't let nobody convince you and use all kinds of words to you to try to get you to turn away from the word of God, the King James Version that was written off of the scroll, that you can grab a hood and hold on to, and it will give you life by the Spirit of God. And that's what we're looking for today. It's for people to become the disciples of Christ. He's offering you a job. He's saying, Come unto me. I the Lord thy God have called thee to come. Come unto me. Come, and I the Lord thy God will lead thee, I will guide thee, I will teach thee. I the Lord thy God will instruct thee in all the things that I the Lord thy God have called thee to do. That all may see and know that I am the Lord thy God who is in the midst of thee. But if you hear and you believe not, and you come not unto me, woe unto thee, woe unto thee, woe unto thee, for I the Lord thy God have not spoke my word in vain unto thee. Believe and come, for I have called. Amen. Father, thank you for thy word this day. Thank you for all that you have done for us. Thank you for protecting us all these years. Help us to get the message your message to the people, that they may know that you are alive and well, and that you will live in them and walk and talk in them. That you are not further far from every one of you, because you tell us the word is nigh thee, and that it will be in us, and that's what we trust you for. And God, thank you for this day. Thank you for thy word. Thank you for your love and mercy. And please help the people come forth, that they may have life and heaven more abundantly. In Christ Jesus only. Amen.
