WEBVTT 00:00:01.710 --> 00:00:05.830 You have a reason to be thankful. You have a 00:00:05.830 --> 00:00:11.449 reason to praise Him today. Amen. Our main scripture 00:00:11.449 --> 00:00:13.990 text is going to be found in Deuteronomy chapter 00:00:13.990 --> 00:00:18.190 6 and verse 4. Many of you can quote this scripture 00:00:18.190 --> 00:00:22.910 text. And then James chapter 2 and verse 19. 00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:31.850 Deuteronomy chapter 6 and verse 4. It says, The 00:00:31.850 --> 00:00:40.070 Lord your God or our God is one Lord Here oh 00:00:40.070 --> 00:00:47.450 Israel the Lord our God is One Lord James chapter 00:00:47.450 --> 00:00:51.750 2 in verse 19 thou believe us that there is one 00:00:51.750 --> 00:00:57.630 God Thou do us well if you believe that there 00:00:57.630 --> 00:01:04.849 is one God You do well But the devil's also believe 00:01:04.849 --> 00:01:10.670 in this one God And I would like to speak to 00:01:10.670 --> 00:01:19.989 us today on this topic God is one God is one 00:01:19.989 --> 00:01:29.700 Everything that we have access to is with the 00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:35.180 understanding and knowledge that God is one. 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:41.980 The one true living God. The powerful God. The 00:01:41.980 --> 00:01:46.519 miraculous God. Hallelujah. Lord, I thank you 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:51.140 today for this wonderful word. I pray today for 00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:55.719 all those at the sound of my voice. Oh God. I 00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:00.780 pray for clarity and understanding to fall upon 00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:05.819 your people today and revelation of the one God, 00:02:06.219 --> 00:02:11.759 the mighty God in Christ Jesus. Oh Lord, have 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:16.300 free course and free reign in our hearts and 00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:19.840 in our lives today. We give you the glory for 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.479 it. One more time, let's give God a hand clap 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:28.770 of praise. and thank Him for His Word. Thank 00:02:28.770 --> 00:02:33.150 you for your Word, God. Thank you for your Word. 00:02:33.889 --> 00:02:41.490 Hallelujah. Amen. You may be seated. I thank 00:02:41.490 --> 00:02:47.229 God for His Word. I thank God that we can find 00:02:47.229 --> 00:02:51.650 the truth in His Word. I thank God that we can 00:02:51.650 --> 00:02:56.330 find the way in His Word. I'm thankful today 00:02:56.330 --> 00:03:02.569 that we can find his name in his word. And today. 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.960 I'm not preaching a philosophy. I'm not preaching 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.280 a creed. I'm not going to be preaching on any 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.419 type or off of any type of church tradition today. 00:03:12.819 --> 00:03:16.719 I am preaching what God said about himself in 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:22.460 his word. Hear, O Israel, the Lord, our God is 00:03:22.460 --> 00:03:27.039 one Lord. Hallelujah. When God speaks about who 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.800 he is, we don't get to correct him. We don't 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.379 get to reinterpret. And we don't get to divide 00:03:35.379 --> 00:03:41.280 Him. Here, O Israel, the Lord our God is one. 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:45.879 If God is confused about who He is, then how 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:50.259 can we trust Him to save us? I came to tell somebody 00:03:50.259 --> 00:03:55.219 today that God is not confused. He is not the 00:03:55.219 --> 00:04:00.319 author of confusing and that we are often accused 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.590 of simplifying. the Godhead by claiming the oneness 00:04:04.590 --> 00:04:08.710 in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. 00:04:08.710 --> 00:04:11.830 But I'm telling you today that it's clear in 00:04:11.830 --> 00:04:16.490 his word that there is only one God and his name 00:04:16.490 --> 00:04:20.610 is Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. And whenever you 00:04:20.610 --> 00:04:24.490 finally fully understand and grasp that name, 00:04:24.850 --> 00:04:28.129 you have access to healing power and healing 00:04:28.129 --> 00:04:31.670 touch. You have access to... to the miraculous 00:04:31.670 --> 00:04:36.449 power of God. Hallelujah. Scripture says believing 00:04:36.449 --> 00:04:41.870 in one God is you doing well. You are doing well 00:04:41.870 --> 00:04:45.189 when you're believing in one God. From Genesis 00:04:45.189 --> 00:04:48.430 to Revelation, from the law to the prophets, 00:04:48.829 --> 00:04:52.589 from the gospels to the epistles, the testimony 00:04:52.589 --> 00:04:59.470 remains the same. The Lord your God is one. Hallelujah. 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:04.079 get a witness today of somebody that has understood 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.860 the mighty God in Jesus Christ, the one God, 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.449 the mighty God. Hallelujah. God declares his 00:05:13.449 --> 00:05:19.089 own identity with his own word. No other interpretation 00:05:19.089 --> 00:05:23.029 is needed. Let's just grab from the word what 00:05:23.029 --> 00:05:27.189 it says about him. Before any theologian ever 00:05:27.189 --> 00:05:31.069 wrote a book and before any council ever gathered 00:05:31.069 --> 00:05:35.569 together, before any creed was ever signed into 00:05:35.569 --> 00:05:39.410 the institutions and organizations, God spoke 00:05:39.410 --> 00:05:46.360 and it... was written, God is one. God is one. 00:05:46.779 --> 00:05:50.100 When God spoke, He didn't stutter. There was 00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:54.019 no confusion there, and there was no uncertainty. 00:05:54.620 --> 00:05:59.800 Deuteronomy 6 and 4. Hear, O Israel, the Lord 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:05.839 our God is one Lord, not three, not divided, 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.519 not a mystery of persons, not separate. separate 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:15.579 distinctions or deities, but God is one. Thousands 00:06:15.579 --> 00:06:19.339 of years later, when Jesus was asked for the 00:06:19.339 --> 00:06:22.740 greatest commandment, he did not update it. He 00:06:22.740 --> 00:06:27.199 did not clarify a trinity. He did not clarify 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.120 separations, distinct separations. He did not 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.980 add to the word. Jesus simply said in Mark chapter 00:06:34.980 --> 00:06:39.899 12 and verse 29, the first of all the commandments 00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:45.579 is here, O Israel, the Lord, our God is one Lord. 00:06:46.060 --> 00:06:49.680 Hallelujah, if Jesus believed God was three persons, 00:06:49.699 --> 00:06:53.779 this was the opportune time for him to say it, 00:06:53.779 --> 00:06:59.420 but he didn't because God, he is one. Scripture 00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:03.540 goes even further in Isaiah chapter 45 and verse 00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:08.029 five, it says, I am the Lord and there is. None 00:07:08.029 --> 00:07:12.930 else. There is no God beside me. Hallelujah. 00:07:13.430 --> 00:07:16.410 I remember telling people that you see, they 00:07:16.410 --> 00:07:18.810 would say, see, there's a different distinction 00:07:18.810 --> 00:07:21.970 and the son is separate from the father because 00:07:21.970 --> 00:07:24.810 he's on the right hand. And here we find where 00:07:24.810 --> 00:07:28.310 God said, there is none beside me. But people 00:07:28.310 --> 00:07:31.910 would say, well, that just means that it's in 00:07:31.910 --> 00:07:36.750 context because there's none besides him. Hallelujah. 00:07:36.910 --> 00:07:40.050 but that still proves my point. There is none 00:07:40.050 --> 00:07:44.389 to the left or to the right. God is one. The 00:07:44.389 --> 00:07:48.089 Lord, your God is one. And He wants you to grasp 00:07:48.089 --> 00:07:52.069 this concept today because He wants you to know 00:07:52.069 --> 00:07:56.449 Him. And He wants you, hallelujah, to be a part 00:07:56.449 --> 00:08:02.350 of Him in truth. It is not enough to just hear 00:08:02.350 --> 00:08:06.230 the truth. It is not enough to just receive truth, 00:08:06.269 --> 00:08:11.149 but we must walk in truth. We must buy the truth 00:08:11.149 --> 00:08:14.949 and sell it not. Hallelujah. Once you find it, 00:08:15.129 --> 00:08:19.009 you don't let it go. You hold on to it with everything 00:08:19.009 --> 00:08:22.910 that you've got. Isaiah chapter 43 and verse 00:08:22.910 --> 00:08:27.509 10 says, before me there was no God formed. Neither 00:08:27.509 --> 00:08:32.879 shall there be And Isaiah chapter 46 and verse 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:38.100 9, it says, I am God. There is none like me. 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:43.299 That is not partial exclusivity. That is absolute 00:08:43.299 --> 00:08:50.240 oneness. Absolute oneness. God is alone. God. 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:55.360 is alone. He has no divine companions. God does 00:08:55.360 --> 00:09:00.220 not say there is no God outside of us. He says 00:09:00.220 --> 00:09:05.899 there is none else, but beside me. If the Father 00:09:05.899 --> 00:09:09.279 is God and the Son is God and the Holy Ghost 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:14.200 is God and they are distinct separate persons, 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:18.580 then God is not alone and there is someone beside 00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:22.840 him. His word is clear that there is none else 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:28.700 beside me. No none. I am one, he claims. Hallelujah. 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.080 You've got to grasp ahold of this today. There 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.980 was a fight that came upon me in the spirit while 00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:38.700 I'm writing this message. But you know what? 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.159 Those devils can stay mad and stay trembling 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:46.419 because they also believe that there is one God. 00:09:47.039 --> 00:10:04.240 And His name is Jesus. God is alone. God never 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:08.480 introduces himself as a group, a family, a committee, 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:14.500 or a fellowship of persons. He introduces himself 00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:25.669 as the Great I Am. The great I Am and Jesus tells 00:10:25.669 --> 00:10:29.169 a group of Jewish people in John chapter 8 verses 00:10:29.169 --> 00:10:33.450 58 and 59 He says Jesus said unto them barely 00:10:33.450 --> 00:10:39.610 barely. I say unto you before Abraham was I am 00:10:39.610 --> 00:10:45.509 Before Abraham was I am then took they up stones 00:10:45.509 --> 00:10:49.259 to cast at him There's a reason why they picked 00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:53.419 up stones whenever he made it clear to them that 00:10:53.419 --> 00:10:58.840 before Abraham was I am They knew in the Old 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:02.620 Testament about Moses where God said to tell 00:11:02.620 --> 00:11:06.639 them that the great I am sent you Hallelujah. 00:11:07.259 --> 00:11:11.039 Hallelujah. And Jesus is clearly saying I am 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.480 I Am and so they wanted to take up stones to 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:22.289 kill him God was not just a man. He was fully 00:11:22.289 --> 00:11:26.289 God in the flesh. We believe in the incarnation 00:11:26.289 --> 00:11:31.120 that God came himself. in the fleshly body of 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.779 Jesus Christ. Christianity is not God sending 00:11:34.779 --> 00:11:38.620 someone else to suffer for us. Christianity is 00:11:38.620 --> 00:11:43.059 God coming himself and being fashioned as a man 00:11:43.059 --> 00:11:47.840 to redeem us from our own sins. That's the God 00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:51.919 you serve today. That's the God you come to thank 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:55.600 today. That's the God you come to worship today. 00:11:56.029 --> 00:12:00.830 who humbled himself as a man and took the punishment 00:12:00.830 --> 00:12:05.409 of sin upon that fleshly body so that you could 00:12:05.409 --> 00:12:10.090 be reconciled unto him. Oh, hallelujah. What 00:12:10.090 --> 00:12:14.440 a mighty God we serve today. What a mighty God 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:18.539 we serve today No wonder the Bible says that 00:12:18.539 --> 00:12:22.019 those that do know their God shall be strong 00:12:22.019 --> 00:12:26.379 and do great exploits Because if you know who 00:12:26.379 --> 00:12:30.120 came for you You know who died for you and redeemed 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.580 you and saved you and have to give you the opportunity 00:12:33.580 --> 00:12:37.200 to have a relationship with you How did he so 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:42.539 that you could be joined with him by faith? You 00:12:42.539 --> 00:12:47.500 can know and receive the love and power of Almighty 00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:52.100 God through the man. or the body Christ Jesus 00:12:52.100 --> 00:12:56.299 because that body was broken and bruised. Hallelujah 00:12:56.299 --> 00:13:00.899 for our iniquities. All the chastisement of our 00:13:00.899 --> 00:13:04.559 peace was upon Him. Hallelujah and the Bible 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:11.039 says by His stripes you were healed. By His stripes 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:15.870 you are healed. So you can have... access to 00:13:15.870 --> 00:13:19.409 healing today. You can have access to relationship 00:13:19.409 --> 00:13:22.970 today. Hallelujah, because the King of Kings 00:13:22.970 --> 00:13:27.090 and the Lord of Lords decided to come down and 00:13:27.090 --> 00:13:30.970 make a way for you. Don't push away or reject 00:13:30.970 --> 00:13:35.090 the message today. God wants you to know Him. 00:13:39.330 --> 00:13:43.820 Did you know that the one and only God got so 00:13:43.820 --> 00:13:46.399 fed up that there was no judgment for the enemy 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:51.179 even after people had repented. Scripture says 00:13:51.179 --> 00:13:54.840 even after people turned away from evil, they 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:59.500 were still being bullied by the enemy. So the 00:13:59.500 --> 00:14:02.940 Lord of the Old Testament decided that He would 00:14:02.940 --> 00:14:07.840 suit up and come to their rescue. I remember 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.220 years ago, I was attempting to read the Bible 00:14:11.220 --> 00:14:13.940 all the way through trying to follow a bread 00:14:13.940 --> 00:14:19.440 chart, and I come across this Scripture, and 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:24.620 it was so revelatory for me that the mighty God 00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:30.580 got so tired of watching the enemy of our soul 00:14:30.580 --> 00:14:33.919 have free course even after people had repented, 00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:38.379 that He decided to save us or make a way for 00:14:38.379 --> 00:14:43.250 us. Isaiah chapter 59 verse 15 through 20, It 00:14:43.250 --> 00:14:48.129 says, Yeah, truth faileth, and he that departeth 00:14:48.129 --> 00:14:54.990 from evil maketh himself a prey. So when one 00:14:54.990 --> 00:14:58.990 repents, turned from their evil ways, they just 00:14:58.990 --> 00:15:02.929 made themselves a prey. Departed from evil, maketh 00:15:02.929 --> 00:15:06.570 himself a prey. And the Lord saw it, and it displeased 00:15:06.570 --> 00:15:10.070 him that there was no judgment. And he saw that 00:15:10.070 --> 00:15:12.970 there was no man. and wondered that there was 00:15:12.970 --> 00:15:16.370 no intercessor. Therefore his arm brought salvation 00:15:16.370 --> 00:15:18.830 unto him, and his righteousness had sustained 00:15:18.830 --> 00:15:23.769 him. For he," talking about God, for he put on 00:15:23.769 --> 00:15:26.610 righteousness as a breastplate. He said, there 00:15:26.610 --> 00:15:29.409 was no man that could live a sinless life and 00:15:29.409 --> 00:15:32.309 intercede for man, so I decided to put on my 00:15:32.309 --> 00:15:36.740 own righteousness. Because there is no man that 00:15:36.740 --> 00:15:40.419 can accomplish this but me. And I am willing 00:15:40.419 --> 00:15:44.019 to step in. How do I do you? Because I know that 00:15:44.019 --> 00:15:47.559 I could walk that life and live a sinless life. 00:15:48.920 --> 00:15:51.700 So for he put on righteousness as a breastplate 00:15:51.700 --> 00:15:54.580 and a helmet of salvation upon his head and he 00:15:54.580 --> 00:15:56.799 put on the garments of vengeance for clothing 00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.679 and was was clad with zeal as a cloak according 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.399 to their deeds according he will repay fury to 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.799 his adversaries recompense to his enemies to 00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:08.940 the Allen's he will repay recompense so shall 00:16:08.940 --> 00:16:12.299 they fear the name of the Lord from the West 00:16:12.299 --> 00:16:15.820 and his glory from the rising of the Sun when 00:16:15.820 --> 00:16:19.159 the enemy shall come in like a flood the Spirit 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.759 of the Lord shall lift up a standard against 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:27.039 him and the Redeemer shall come to Zion and unto 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.620 them that turn from transgression and Jacob saith 00:16:30.620 --> 00:16:34.159 the Lord Hallelujah, you can have freedom today 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:38.539 Because the mighty God in Christ Jesus came and 00:16:38.539 --> 00:16:41.840 purchased it for you today If you've been struggling 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.940 in sin, but you've decided to repent and turn 00:16:44.940 --> 00:16:48.009 away you can have freedom today because because 00:16:48.009 --> 00:16:51.649 Jesus Christ purchased it for you. You can have 00:16:51.649 --> 00:16:55.509 access to healing today because he paid the price 00:16:55.509 --> 00:16:59.789 and he said enough is enough. This is my child, 00:17:00.429 --> 00:17:04.930 back off, back off. Hallelujah, we can call on 00:17:04.930 --> 00:17:09.490 the name of Jesus Christ in a time of need. Where 00:17:09.490 --> 00:17:14.569 sin abounds, God's grace doth much more abound. 00:17:14.890 --> 00:17:18.970 Where sin abounds, God's grace doth much more 00:17:18.970 --> 00:17:23.109 abound. I know we're in a sinful world, but God's 00:17:23.109 --> 00:17:28.150 grace is greater than any sin or any challenge 00:17:28.150 --> 00:17:34.660 that you would face. Somebody needs a grasp a 00:17:34.660 --> 00:17:39.799 hold of this one God concept and know your God 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:44.559 And you will be strong and do great exploits 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:48.180 The Bible is clear that those that do know their 00:17:48.180 --> 00:17:51.940 God the angel of the Lord encamps around about 00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:56.450 them So I have no doubt Today that the ministering 00:17:56.450 --> 00:17:59.990 angels of the Lord are in this place and they 00:17:59.990 --> 00:18:06.609 are for those that do know their God Ha you'll 00:18:06.609 --> 00:18:11.970 toss ah John chapter 1 in verse 1 in the beginning 00:18:11.970 --> 00:18:16.009 was the word and the word was with God and the 00:18:16.009 --> 00:18:22.210 word was God in the beginning the word was God 00:18:22.349 --> 00:18:27.910 John 1 and 14 and the Word was made flesh and 00:18:27.910 --> 00:18:31.950 dwelt among us and we beheld his glory the glory 00:18:31.950 --> 00:18:35.710 as of the only begotten of the Father so we saw 00:18:35.710 --> 00:18:40.450 him as the only Son of God but yet that one true 00:18:40.450 --> 00:18:44.789 living God came down from above and Revealed 00:18:44.789 --> 00:18:48.690 himself through the man Christ Jesus to purchase 00:18:48.690 --> 00:18:52.799 for you salvation to purchase for you healing, 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:57.859 to purchase for you the power of His love through 00:18:57.859 --> 00:19:05.000 His grace. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:09.900 among us. We see in these passages that the one 00:19:09.900 --> 00:19:14.740 God robed Himself in flesh. Not the Word became 00:19:14.740 --> 00:19:19.460 a second person. Not the Word joined God in partnership. 00:19:20.220 --> 00:19:24.420 Not a portion of God became flesh. But that one 00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:29.140 God, the I Am, was made flesh and dwelt among 00:19:29.140 --> 00:19:33.599 us. Paul writes it very plainly that God was 00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:36.960 manifest in the flesh. This means that the spirit 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.319 of the one true living God was made visible in 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.559 the flesh. 1 Timothy chapter 3 verse 16. And 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.220 without controversy, great is the mystery of 00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:53.920 godliness. God was made manifest in the flesh, 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:59.119 justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:02.319 unto the Gentiles, and believed on in the world 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:07.099 and received up into glory. God was manifest 00:20:07.099 --> 00:20:11.559 in the flesh. not God the Son, not the second 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:17.339 person of the Trinity, but God Himself. God Himself. 00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:21.720 There is one God from the Old Testament to the 00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:25.799 New Testament. One God, one Lord, one faith, 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:36.539 and one baptism. Hallelujah. If you ever want 00:20:36.539 --> 00:20:42.960 to know who Jesus really is. Don't ask a creed. 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:48.819 Don't just rely on the majority. Don't be looking 00:20:48.819 --> 00:20:53.359 for opinions of others or for explanations that 00:20:53.359 --> 00:21:00.259 are not scriptural. Be careful trying to grab 00:21:00.259 --> 00:21:03.099 information from AI thinking that it's accurate. 00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:10.480 It will literally pull from sources outside of 00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:14.200 the Bible and give you explanations because that's 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:22.359 all it has access to. So don't just rely on outside 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:29.279 sources. Don't look to philosophy. Don't just 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.839 follow the traditions of men. I've heard this 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:39.309 so many times. Well, my great -grandfather taught 00:21:39.309 --> 00:21:43.710 this. Believe this. And man, he was such a great 00:21:43.710 --> 00:21:46.869 man. I know he loved God. So there's no way he 00:21:46.869 --> 00:21:50.589 could be wrong. So I'm just, I'm gonna follow 00:21:50.589 --> 00:21:57.509 suit. Don't follow the traditions of man just 00:21:57.509 --> 00:22:01.029 because it looks good. Look no further than the 00:22:01.029 --> 00:22:07.980 Bible. Stay in the Word. in the Word. The Bible's 00:22:07.980 --> 00:22:12.200 clear. It says men will be drawn away by seducing 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.900 spirits and doctrines of devils in the last days. 00:22:16.339 --> 00:22:19.299 Doctrines of devils. It will appear to be right, 00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:22.220 but it will be wrong. You've got to back up what 00:22:22.220 --> 00:22:25.200 you believe in the Word of God. You've got to 00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:29.420 stand strong in the faith of the Word of God 00:22:29.420 --> 00:22:33.420 and don't move from it. Buy the truth and sell 00:22:33.420 --> 00:22:40.430 it not. Colossians chapter 2 and verse 8. Read 00:22:40.430 --> 00:22:46.349 this with me. Beware lest any man spoil you through 00:22:46.349 --> 00:22:50.069 philosophy and vain deceit after the tradition 00:22:50.069 --> 00:22:55.210 of men. After the rudiments of the world and 00:22:55.210 --> 00:23:02.690 not after Christ. And now I don't think it's 00:23:02.690 --> 00:23:05.599 coincidence. That verse nine goes on to say, 00:23:06.660 --> 00:23:11.779 for in him, Jesus dwelleth all the fullness of 00:23:11.779 --> 00:23:17.039 the Godhead bodily. In him dwells all the fullness 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:20.839 of the Godhead bodily. Nowhere in the Bible does 00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:24.539 it say that part of God lived in Christ. Nowhere 00:23:24.539 --> 00:23:27.680 in scripture does it say he's a separate entity 00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:31.339 from the Father. It says that the Father, the 00:23:31.339 --> 00:23:34.380 one that loves you, came. and robed himself in 00:23:34.380 --> 00:23:39.700 flesh to die for your sins because why? He loved 00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:45.960 you. He loved you. That's the God we serve today. 00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:54.619 Not one third of the Godhead is mentioned in 00:23:54.619 --> 00:23:59.279 God, but all the fullness of everything of what 00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:04.579 that makeup is. is in Christ Jesus dwells in 00:24:04.579 --> 00:24:08.380 that body not a role not a manifestation only 00:24:08.380 --> 00:24:13.420 but all the fullness Isaiah even prophesied about 00:24:13.420 --> 00:24:17.880 this in Isaiah chapter 9 and verse 6 for unto 00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:22.680 us a child is born unto us a son is given and 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:25.380 the government shall be upon his shoulder and 00:24:25.380 --> 00:24:29.140 his name shall be called wonderful counselor 00:24:29.140 --> 00:24:35.190 thee mighty God, the everlasting father, the 00:24:35.190 --> 00:24:38.509 prince of peace, the mighty God. There will be 00:24:38.509 --> 00:24:41.930 a child that is born and his name shall be called 00:24:41.930 --> 00:24:45.450 wonderful. His name shall be called the mighty 00:24:45.450 --> 00:24:49.589 God. His name shall be called the everlasting 00:24:49.589 --> 00:25:03.799 father. That alone doesn't fit any Trinity. By 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:09.400 definition If you look up that word and I'm not 00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:11.779 wanting to pick on people today, I just we just 00:25:11.779 --> 00:25:16.799 need to be safe We need to have the truth. I 00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:20.619 Am the way the truth and the life Jesus says 00:25:20.619 --> 00:25:23.640 no one man comes to the Father except by me. 00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:26.700 He's not talking about a second or a third person, 00:25:26.700 --> 00:25:29.059 he was saying, but except through this body, 00:25:29.380 --> 00:25:32.759 except through its body be put on a tree and 00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:36.440 hung and punished for your sins, you're not coming 00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:41.720 to the Father. You're not coming to me. There's 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:48.869 not a way. But the scripture fits incarnation 00:25:48.869 --> 00:25:57.390 perfectly. So who does Jesus say he is? John 00:25:57.390 --> 00:26:00.529 chapter 4 verse 7 through 9. If you had known 00:26:00.529 --> 00:26:06.450 me, if you had known me, you should have known 00:26:06.450 --> 00:26:10.309 my father also. And from henceforth you know 00:26:10.309 --> 00:26:16.109 him and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, 00:26:16.109 --> 00:26:22.329 Lord, Philip's still thinking he's not necessarily 00:26:22.329 --> 00:26:27.490 God in the flesh. Philip's saying, Lord, show 00:26:27.490 --> 00:26:32.029 us the Father and it will suffice with us. Verse 00:26:32.029 --> 00:26:35.490 9, Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long 00:26:35.490 --> 00:26:39.509 time with you? And yet hast thou not known me, 00:26:39.509 --> 00:26:44.170 Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father. 00:26:44.490 --> 00:26:48.589 And how sayest thou then, show us the Father? 00:26:49.329 --> 00:26:51.890 Jesus didn't respond to Philip by saying, you 00:26:51.890 --> 00:26:55.789 can't see him anymore. Jesus didn't say, well, 00:26:55.789 --> 00:26:58.970 Philip, he's a different person in heaven on 00:26:58.970 --> 00:27:02.930 the throne, but we are one in unity and I am 00:27:02.930 --> 00:27:06.869 submitted to him. Jesus said, when you have seen 00:27:06.869 --> 00:27:11.710 me, you have seen the Father. Have you not known 00:27:11.710 --> 00:27:17.400 me? here this entire time and if you don't believe 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:22.059 me for my words believe me for the work's sake 00:27:22.059 --> 00:27:28.259 he tells many people that if God has brought 00:27:28.259 --> 00:27:33.819 you this far and he has kept you believe him 00:27:33.819 --> 00:27:41.079 for the work's sake hallelujah when you have 00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.269 seen me You have seen the Father. That is either 00:27:45.269 --> 00:27:48.849 the greatest deception ever spoken or the clearest 00:27:48.849 --> 00:27:53.150 revelation ever given to man. Jesus did not say, 00:27:53.690 --> 00:27:56.650 I look like the Father, I act like the Father, 00:27:56.849 --> 00:27:59.670 I represent the Father. He said, you have seen 00:27:59.670 --> 00:28:09.910 Him and you know Him. God is eternal. The Son 00:28:09.910 --> 00:28:13.019 was not eternal. And I know there's some heavy 00:28:13.019 --> 00:28:17.539 contradictions here. Bear with me. God is not 00:28:17.539 --> 00:28:20.799 affected by time, space, or matter because He 00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:24.279 created it. I didn't come up with that. I come 00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:26.359 across a brilliant individual that had mentioned 00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.559 that. And it's very profound. But it fits nicely 00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:35.079 right here. God is not affected by time, space, 00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:38.039 or matter because He created. If He was affected 00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:41.900 by those things, He wouldn't be God. God does 00:28:41.900 --> 00:28:44.559 not exist because of time, space, or matter, 00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:50.140 because He formed it. He spoke it into existence. 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:55.880 So therefore, the Son, that body, was not eternal 00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:01.599 in that moment. He just wasn't. Those that believe 00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:04.480 in a trinity have to say that the Son of God 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.440 was there with the Father in the beginning, already 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:12.049 existing with the Father. then was born. They 00:29:12.049 --> 00:29:15.450 have to say this because He is separate from 00:29:15.450 --> 00:29:18.410 the Father, but one in unity with the Father, 00:29:18.630 --> 00:29:24.269 co -eternal, co -equal with the Father. Did you 00:29:24.269 --> 00:29:28.230 grasp what I said there? In order to believe 00:29:28.230 --> 00:29:31.430 in the Trinity and that the Son was separate 00:29:31.430 --> 00:29:36.369 from the Father, He had to be eternal. But that 00:29:36.369 --> 00:29:40.079 the God we serve, the one God is eternal. But 00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:45.259 that flesh was not It was not and matter of fact 00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:48.740 it didn't exist until it was born into time space 00:29:48.740 --> 00:29:54.619 or matter The Bible never speaks of the term 00:29:54.619 --> 00:30:00.079 eternal son Never speaks of co -equal partners 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:04.259 Co -eternal you will not find it in Scripture. 00:30:04.539 --> 00:30:08.619 It says in Luke chapter 1 verse 35 that holy 00:30:08.619 --> 00:30:12.750 thing which shall be born of thee shall be called 00:30:12.750 --> 00:30:16.890 the Son of God. That holy thing that will be 00:30:16.890 --> 00:30:20.549 born, that holy thing that is now stepping into 00:30:20.549 --> 00:30:26.329 time, space, and matter to save His people will 00:30:26.329 --> 00:30:30.789 be called the Son of God. So it's right to call 00:30:30.789 --> 00:30:34.089 Him the Son of God. Psalm chapter 2 and verse 00:30:34.089 --> 00:30:38.119 7 says, This day have I begotten thee. To be 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:40.819 born means to have a beginning in time, space, 00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:43.599 and matter. The Son exists because God entered 00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:48.140 that time. God became a Son for a purpose. God 00:30:48.140 --> 00:30:55.500 became the Son for redemption. And Jesus praying 00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:59.579 was God in the flesh, not two gods having a conversation 00:30:59.579 --> 00:31:03.299 with each other. People say Jesus prayed so he 00:31:03.299 --> 00:31:06.900 must be a different person. No, he prayed because 00:31:06.900 --> 00:31:11.759 he was fully man. The body, just like your body, 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.359 had to be submitted to the Spirit of God, had 00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:17.880 to be brought under subjection. Second Corinthians 00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:23.220 chapter five, verse 19, God was in Christ. God 00:31:23.220 --> 00:31:28.839 was in Christ. Fully man and fully God. Philippians 00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:32.519 chapter two, verse seven and eight. but made 00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:35.940 himself of no reputation and took upon him the 00:31:35.940 --> 00:31:38.839 form of a servant and was made in the likeness 00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:43.079 of men and being found in fashion as a man, humbled 00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:47.119 himself and became obedient unto death, even 00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:51.539 the death of the cross. Jesus humbled himself, 00:31:51.660 --> 00:31:54.640 God humbled himself and fashioned himself like 00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:58.799 a man and was obedient to death, even the death 00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:02.720 of the cross. Prayer is humanity submitting to 00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:06.660 deity. If praying proves Jesus isn't God, then 00:32:06.660 --> 00:32:09.920 none of us can call Him God at all. The Bible 00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:12.799 says in Hebrews chapter 5 and verse 8, it says, 00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:26.380 Many of the prayers that Jesus said were him 00:32:26.380 --> 00:32:29.420 quoting scripture while fulfilling the very scriptures 00:32:29.420 --> 00:32:33.079 he is said to be praying. Here's an example of 00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:38.200 this. Mark chapter 15 and verse 34. And at the 00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:41.180 night hour Jesus cried with a loud voice saying, 00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:45.839 Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani, which is being 00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:49.680 interpreted, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken 00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:53.339 me? And you always hear, there's the separation. 00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:59.640 And he's quoting Psalm chapter 22 verse 1. He's 00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:04.519 fulfilling scripture. My God, my God, why hast 00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:09.079 thou forsaken me? And if you were to go on and 00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:11.019 read the rest of that passage, I would encourage 00:33:11.019 --> 00:33:15.359 you to do so. He was stricken and he was beaten 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:19.019 and he was bruised and pierced. It goes on to 00:33:19.019 --> 00:33:22.720 say, Your God was fulfilling scripture while 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:26.240 hanging on the cross and reminding you that I 00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:30.240 have come to fulfill my purpose I've come to 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:33.480 fulfill the purpose and saving and redeeming 00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:36.980 my people by taking on the punishment and feeling 00:33:36.980 --> 00:33:44.099 that forsakenness I did that for you and The 00:33:44.099 --> 00:33:47.920 Holy Ghost is Jesus in us The Holy Ghost is not 00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:50.940 a third person of the Trinity. 2 Corinthians 00:33:50.940 --> 00:33:54.660 3, verse 17, Now the Lord is that Spirit, and 00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:57.299 where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 00:33:57.900 --> 00:34:01.359 Jesus said in John 14, 16 through 18, and I will 00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:03.799 pray the father and he shall give you another 00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:06.740 comforter that he may abide with you forever. 00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:09.719 Even the spirit of truth whom the world cannot 00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:13.099 receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth 00:34:13.099 --> 00:34:17.019 him. But you know him, for he dwelleth with you, 00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:22.599 and he shall be in you. I will not, I will not 00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:30.079 leave you compelous. I will come to you. So when 00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:33.300 you receive the Spirit of Almighty God, it's 00:34:33.300 --> 00:34:35.820 not some third person of the Trinity It's the 00:34:35.820 --> 00:34:38.940 mighty God the hallelujah that was given unto 00:34:38.940 --> 00:34:42.559 men for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ Because 00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:46.199 the body or the spirit of God does not dwell 00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:50.340 in temples that were made by men Hallelujah God 00:34:50.340 --> 00:34:53.659 released his spirit into mankind. That's why 00:34:53.659 --> 00:34:57.340 the scripture says no you not that you are the 00:34:57.340 --> 00:35:01.340 temple of God Hallelujah! When you receive this 00:35:01.340 --> 00:35:05.420 Holy Ghost, you receive Jesus Christ. He said, 00:35:05.539 --> 00:35:10.579 I will come to you. I will not leave you comfortless. 00:35:11.659 --> 00:35:14.219 Paul states in Colossians chapter 1 verse 27, 00:35:14.820 --> 00:35:17.780 To whom God would make known what is the riches 00:35:17.780 --> 00:35:21.320 of glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, 00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:27.050 which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. When 00:35:27.050 --> 00:35:29.289 you receive the Holy Ghost, you receive Christ 00:35:29.289 --> 00:35:33.050 in you, not a separate person, not a separate 00:35:33.050 --> 00:35:36.929 distinct person. There is one God, one Spirit, 00:35:37.050 --> 00:35:41.550 and one Lord. God is one. And I'm moving to a 00:35:41.550 --> 00:35:50.909 close if you all stand with me today. 1st Timothy 00:35:50.909 --> 00:36:04.130 2 and 5. First Timothy 2 and 5. For there is 00:36:04.130 --> 00:36:15.369 one God. For there is one God. And one mediator 00:36:15.369 --> 00:36:21.469 between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Mediator 00:36:21.469 --> 00:36:25.530 does not mean the second divine person. in a 00:36:25.530 --> 00:36:30.190 trinity. It means God reached man through humanity, 00:36:32.670 --> 00:36:37.769 through the body of the man Christ Jesus. He 00:36:37.769 --> 00:36:44.250 brought us together unto Himself. The Bible's 00:36:44.250 --> 00:36:46.829 clear that He says that He'd come to reconcile 00:36:46.829 --> 00:36:58.539 the world unto Himself. reconciling you to Him. 00:36:59.340 --> 00:37:06.400 You who were separated by sin. God became that 00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:10.300 mediator. He said, I'm going to put on my righteousness. 00:37:11.239 --> 00:37:14.340 I know you can't do it ma 'am. I know you can't 00:37:14.340 --> 00:37:19.300 do it sir. But I'm going to put on my righteousness. 00:37:20.139 --> 00:37:23.219 And I'm going to show up for you. I'm going to 00:37:23.219 --> 00:37:37.070 fight for you. I love you, and I know God loves 00:37:37.070 --> 00:37:43.809 you. The Bible is clear. It says that there is 00:37:43.809 --> 00:37:48.190 no greater love than this, than a man would lay 00:37:48.190 --> 00:37:55.329 down his life for his friends. And the God that 00:37:55.329 --> 00:38:01.230 is love, Decided I'm gonna lay the life down 00:38:01.230 --> 00:38:08.190 for them There are times when we are called to 00:38:08.190 --> 00:38:13.949 repent and to die out to self But the Bible says 00:38:13.949 --> 00:38:20.090 to present your bodies a living sacrifice a living 00:38:20.090 --> 00:38:28.889 sacrifice He took the death's part for you And 00:38:28.889 --> 00:38:31.630 today I'm opening up the altars for an individual 00:38:31.630 --> 00:38:35.590 that maybe you were confused about the whole 00:38:35.590 --> 00:38:38.969 thing and didn't really fully understand the 00:38:38.969 --> 00:38:42.829 mighty God in Christ Jesus. But with clarity 00:38:42.829 --> 00:38:46.469 of the Word of God today and understanding, you 00:38:46.469 --> 00:38:52.349 can come boldly before His throne of grace calling 00:38:52.349 --> 00:38:58.949 on Him and His name. His name is Jesus. And so 00:38:58.949 --> 00:39:00.949 the altars are open today. If you would like 00:39:00.949 --> 00:39:06.090 to recommit your life. If you would just like 00:39:06.090 --> 00:39:11.670 to thank Him. Because God, you did that for me. 00:39:12.670 --> 00:39:17.530 You love me with such a perfect love. Such a 00:39:17.530 --> 00:39:22.329 perfect love and a pure love that you laid down 00:39:22.329 --> 00:39:28.940 that body. That you beat that body. that you 00:39:28.940 --> 00:39:32.420 crushed that body under the weight of the cross 00:39:32.420 --> 00:39:39.820 and blood was spilled so that I could be reconnected 00:39:39.820 --> 00:39:40.199 to you.
