1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,320
I am what it says I am. I can do what it says I can. I'm a believer not a doubter. I'm a doer

2
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:16,000
and not just a hearer. I am humble before the Lord. I'm obedient to the Lord. I am mature in the

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:24,960
Lord. I'm enthusiastic about the Lord. I know that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of

4
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:34,480
God. Amen. In the book of Matthew chapter 26 verse 27 and 28 you'll find these words. It says

5
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:42,880
then he took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them saying drink from it all of you.

6
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,600
For this is my blood. Somebody said my blood. It says this is my blood of the new covenant.

7
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:57,680
Every covenant had to be ratified with blood. In the old system all sins had to be forgiven with.

8
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:06,320
So he's saying I'm putting something new in place. Amen. So he said for this is my blood for the new

9
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:18,400
covenant which is shared for many for the remissions of. See God just knew. He couldn't put just sin

10
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:27,040
there without F something. Took a lot of blood for something. Sin. Plural. Amen. Don't y'all see

11
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:34,080
him try to play me every low Sunday morning. The Bible put an F on that because God know each one of

12
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:42,720
us and he know that we came to him with multiple. I know some of y'all think y'all are there in

13
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:50,160
a community but one little sin but I got news for you. We ought to be glad that the blood was shared

14
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,560
for our sins. Amen. Y'all sit down. Y'all sit down. I'm done there.

15
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,400
Let me begin by saying a very special thanks to Mr. Marvel here who stepped in last week

16
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,840
to fill in the gap on the short notice. As many of you know I went out of town to show support

17
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:15,760
for a dear friend who lost his wife and she was a dear friend of Lady Jeanette. Sister Brenna Palmer

18
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:23,520
most of y'all some of y'all know her. In fact she was the inspiration behind Lady Jeanette

19
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,800
beginning what we call out the women the black breasted social. She got that from sister Brenna

20
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:34,000
and they were friends and so I just wanted to be there to support them during that time. So I want

21
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,640
to thank sister Marvel for stepping in on short notice but you know how the spirit works is that

22
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:47,520
while I was preparing to preach last week I was already preparing to talk about you know the benefits

23
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,800
of the blood. Had the outline already written I was going to do two weeks on it and I didn't even

24
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,080
ask sister ma what you're going to preach about but you know when I was listening in on I said oh

25
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,880
that's a good segue to this week. She just took the first part of it because last week she was

26
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:10,080
talking about I've been written and one of the values of the blood and the benefits of the blood

27
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:16,800
is your redemption and so therefore what I'm going to do today is I'm going to kind of start from

28
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,600
where she began with her text. Stay there for a few minutes because I don't want to preach what she

29
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,320
preached last week but I do want to make the connection to some other benefits that the blood

30
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,920
provides for us amen. You know benefit is anything that you can get as you have been earned it for

31
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:39,520
retirement whatever the system you're in but sometimes you can have benefits and not even know

32
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:46,080
it and when you have a benefit and don't know it you can end up living below your privileges

33
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:52,400
because you don't know the benefits that you that you have and so what I want you to know is that

34
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,120
I've got to get it in your heart and mind that I don't want you to live below your privileges

35
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:04,080
because you don't know what benefit the blood serves in your life and I hope it would change your

36
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,880
attitude and I hope the message counter is evocative to you today because at certain

37
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:14,720
points I want to just get right in your face to make a point because if you can receive this I

38
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,960
believe a lot of things in your life would change because you understand the benefits

39
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:27,760
of the blood. Now in Ephesians chapter 1 verse 7 that's where Sister Marvel was at last week when

40
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:33,360
she talked about redemption so the first thing I want you to know is that the blood of Jesus

41
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:40,640
because of his blood we have redemption. Redemption just means that we've been bought back. God bought

42
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:47,360
us back because we had sin in our lives and because we had a debt that we couldn't pay so he used the

43
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:55,040
blood of Jesus to pay our debt and with that blood comes our freedom from that debt and forgiveness

44
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:03,840
of the sin. So knowing that you shouldn't walk around bound up to what you've been set free from

45
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:12,400
and what I want you to see also is that when we came to God because that word had sins on it

46
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,640
and if we were then law enforcement we had a jacket that was pretty thick you know we had a

47
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:26,080
wrap sheet that was pretty long and so because of that when you get free you now no longer have to

48
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:35,600
feel guilty about your wrap sheet. Amen. All of you came to God with a wrap sheet because we violated

49
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:44,320
his laws. Amen. And so this is what he says here he says now look in verse 7 of Ephesians 1 he says

50
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:50,720
in him we have redemption somebody say redemption. Redemption through his blood the forgiveness of

51
00:05:50,720 --> 00:06:00,240
sin according to the riches of his grace. God's extended grace toward us bountifully when he

52
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:08,880
sacrificed Jesus for our sin. So you ought to always feel like you're living under God's grace.

53
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:17,680
God's favors on your life because of the grace of God. So whatever you do wherever you go you

54
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:24,960
ought to feel like hey I operate in grace and because I operate in grace and I have favor my life

55
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,400
then if I do things God way and recognize what the blood has done then God was going to find favor

56
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,560
with me before me and and y'all are going to hit me today. Some of y'all want to say you need to

57
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:43,760
start pleading the blood for some favor in your life because that's a benefit that you have amen.

58
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,800
I said we're going to preach a message let me go on to the second one to Ephesians chapter 2

59
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:56,160
since tomorrow I did a great job on that last week. Ephesians chapter 2 verse 11 through 13

60
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:04,240
I want you to see that the blood of Jesus brought us somebody said Gentiles brought us Gentiles near

61
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:13,360
to God. See we will once consider aliens outside and estranged from the family of God you know and

62
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,720
some places here we're going to read and say we were without hope of eternal salvation but the

63
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:28,000
blood of Jesus had brought us near to God and we are no longer aliens but now we're citizens

64
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,360
of his kingdom. Now the picture that I want to get you to see is this is that before the blood

65
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:41,040
if if I can use my sanctified imagination but the JP I don't think it's blasphemy because you're not

66
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:49,840
God but I'm just going to say for my analogy you are God sitting in your seat of power.

67
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:59,280
Before the blood I was way over here because of my condition because of my sin because how the

68
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:07,920
Jews looked at me. Cliff represented the Jews sitting right there next to God got his ear all

69
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:14,400
the time. I'm over here alienated don't even know how to get through to him but because of the blood

70
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:24,000
it drew me near to God so now I'm just as close to God as Cliff is. In fact because of the blood I can get

71
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,160
under the old covenant you know the temple is set up in three parts

72
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:37,520
out of court the inter court and the holies of holies that was a veil that separated

73
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,320
that only the high priests could go behind the holies of holies that'll be where I'm standing

74
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,280
up here now. The outer court may be out where the lobby is you will be considered in the holy

75
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:54,160
place the sanctuary you can come no further than this before the blood. That's the closer you can

76
00:08:54,160 --> 00:09:00,080
get to God right there before the blood but because the blood which is the veil of the temple was

77
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:06,160
now you can come straight up here on your own don't even need don't even need boulder

78
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:14,960
that's the benefit because before that you needed someone else to go to God for you

79
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:23,600
to atone your sins now you can come. Good God Almighty. Look at this verse 11,

80
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:30,480
2, 13 and chapter 2. He says don't forget somebody say don't forget. He says don't forget that you

81
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:40,960
Gentiles oh you Gentiles you Gentiles we Gentiles that's us used to be outsiders somebody know what

82
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,400
it's like to be an outsider that the difference between being an outsider and an insider and then

83
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:52,800
everybody wanted to try to get to the inside but the Jews say look here before the blood you was a

84
00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:02,640
you were called uncircumcised heathens by the Jews who were so proud of their circumcision

85
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:09,360
even though it affected only their bodies and not their heart in other words the physical

86
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:15,040
circumcision of the body did not change the heart and so he said now look the blood

87
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:21,920
that comes so that it would change your because if your heart changed your actions would change if

88
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:27,600
your heart changed your behavior would change if your heart changed you'll hear God more than if

89
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:34,160
your heart is still hot if your heart changed you receive the word of God and in your heart and it

90
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:46,640
would take root if your this coming to church can be a formality because if this word ain't gonna

91
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:54,000
change your heart you might well stay at home amen you could just zoom in or you could be at

92
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,520
the be you could be somewhere else if you're not gonna let the word change your because if not you're

93
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:08,160
gonna be still looked at as a heathen help me out clear he's gonna be looked at as a heathen

94
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:15,360
on the outside looking in and see that's what the Jews thought they thought because they went

95
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:21,200
through the physical act of circumcision that that was changing their lives when in reality

96
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,760
they had to do that all the time they after the circumcision they had to take blood over and over

97
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:34,240
and over again because their hearts were not changing something got to happen on the inside of you

98
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,800
and when you realize that the blood of Jesus can change your heart and your content I'm gonna

99
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:47,680
show you that it'll change the way you live amen now look at this verse 12 in those days

100
00:11:47,680 --> 00:12:01,360
you were living apart from Christ so when that is talked to you know in plural tense it don't

101
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:09,200
have the effect so you have to personalize the scripture sometime to make it make sense to you

102
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:17,200
because if I say in those days you were then that means who are you talking to in here

103
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:27,840
but now what I want you to do and talking first person say in those days I was living apart from

104
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,920
Christ amen have a different impact now when I say I

105
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:43,840
I was excluded from citizenship from among the people of Israel and you did not know the covenant

106
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:54,240
promises of God that God made to them you lived I lived in this world without God and without hope

107
00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:04,160
so before the blood of Christ came on the scene I was without God and without hope had no expectation

108
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:09,680
of eternal life have had no expectation of the blessing that God had bestowed upon Abraham

109
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:16,800
and the Jews I didn't even know that those same blessing was benefits toward me because of the

110
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,960
blood and there are a lot of people that's walking around the day that's living hopelessly

111
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,680
they don't know who they are they don't know where they belong and because they don't know

112
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:29,520
who they are and where they belong then they live below their privileges because now they're

113
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:39,360
living as if that is no I want you to have hope today because of the blood and then and if you

114
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:44,880
don't have hope I hope that you leave here knowing beyond the shadow of doubt that the blood of Jesus

115
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:55,760
has brought you near they lived in this world without God and without hope somebody say but now

116
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:05,680
somebody shout but now he says now look but now you have been united with Christ Jesus

117
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:16,480
once let me read this in first person once I was far away from God but now I have been brought

118
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,240
near to him through the blood of

119
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:29,840
so let me know that we all was afar from God but because of the blood now you've got the same

120
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:37,760
level of access that the Jews got in fact your access is even better because some of them don't

121
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:43,120
accept the blood they don't accept Jesus they don't accept the sacrifice that was made for them

122
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:48,960
so I want to challenge you today look here why are you living afar from God when the blood has

123
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:57,040
given you the opportunity to be brought near so my belief is you live apart from God not because

124
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,440
of the blood not doing this work but because you make the choice to stay at a distance

125
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:12,880
the choice is yours I got a choice I can come right down and sit next to mr jp right now and

126
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:18,400
don't care what cliff think how he looked at me as an uncircumcised even it don't make no

127
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:24,480
difference because now I know who I am and I know my relationship with my position has changed

128
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,280
I'm no longer over there I'm right here in his

129
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,680
man when you can get in the presence of God your whole attitude changed and I think a lot of people

130
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,360
come to church and think that's because you walk in here you're in his presence look here you can

131
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:44,640
get in his presence in your car before you you are to bring him here with you so that the worship

132
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:50,240
experience will be pleasing to everybody because we all come with the same spirit on the inside of

133
00:15:50,240 --> 00:16:00,800
us knowing that we no longer are far from God but we have been brought you know children the closer

134
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:08,800
they are to their parents the better they are you know the closer you got them to you you know

135
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,040
they act different but when they grow up and get out on they

136
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,040
they

137
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:25,360
they have a tendency to do some things it is no different than you and your relationship with

138
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:31,040
God when you go without studying when you go without prayer when you go without meditation when

139
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:36,320
you go without doing the things in this world and you get a distance from God you start living

140
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,160
y'all ain't gotta feel in the blank don't be afraid because I know what I'm talking about today

141
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,720
you know and I believe that somebody needs to know you don't have to live apart from God

142
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:55,280
because the blood has drawn you and what I need to help some of you with don't let other folk

143
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,520
keep you from getting closer if you want to get closer there's gonna be some people out there who

144
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:12,960
want to try to clot the blood that wasn't in my nose I just started that right y'all know that wasn't in my nose but it's sort of fear you know having

145
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:18,960
the blood clotting out a good thing having someone hindering you from getting closer to God

146
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:34,880
so now that we know that we have been brought near to God then it's important for us to realize

147
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:41,920
that we have been justified so my my third point is because Jesus blood has been shared

148
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,800
then now this being justified go back to what I was telling you about your rap sheet

149
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:56,640
see Romans 5 chapter chapter 5 verse 6 through 11 this passage let us know that we have been

150
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:03,280
justified by the blood we have been declared and made righteous in the sight of God because of Jesus

151
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:12,240
blood she God declared you and me righteous in spite of our rap sheet in spite of you know

152
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:20,480
the jacket was already full cliff but in spite of what was in that rap sheet God looked at the blood

153
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:28,240
and decided to expunge everything out my record amen now look what I want you all to do right

154
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:33,520
now just for the sake of your own life not mine I want you to just close your eyes just for a moment

155
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:41,440
and visualize your rap sheet before the blood if you was honest with yourself I mean if you were

156
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:47,360
just honest with yourself I mean if you were just truly honest with your spirit ain't gonna lie to

157
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:51,680
you we said in the Bible said all night the spirit already know what your rap sheet looked like so

158
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:57,280
you ain't revealing it to me you're just taking a look back and say oh man when I see and understand

159
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:03,520
where God brought me from and what the blood did for me boy I got something to praise it for

160
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,560
I you know like the song say I just want to praise it I just want to give it faith because

161
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:15,520
I don't look back and even if I was a good kid I was still stuck up in some ways some of your

162
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:20,400
rap sheets is not that long you didn't fornicate you didn't commit a dirty you was you know you

163
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:27,840
was a virgin when you got married wasn't in your rap sheet but boy you had attitude couldn't nobody

164
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:39,360
get along with you you were just all that and then some it was in your rap scene now I'm not

165
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:46,560
trying to read in about his book but it's a good possibility some line was in your rap sheet

166
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,520
some fornication was in your rap sheet some drunkenness was in your

167
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:03,120
don't have don't don't don't have an effect over there I mean but but but it was in your rap sheet

168
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:17,760
and see if you're still dealing with what's in your rap sheet then you don't understand the benefit

169
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:25,120
of the she cuz I ought to be able to talk about your rap city you all be saying hey pass go ahead

170
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:35,840
read it all that that is no longer me that's that you know I'm no longer that person because the

171
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,320
better that charge still pending

172
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,520
yeah you you gotta be quiet right now you you can't get up and do your little hole at the head

173
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:56,560
yeah you cuz you gotta charge you may be found guilty cuz you don't know the blood

174
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:58,720
but if you've been set

175
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:13,840
let me read this now look at this in verse six roman chapter five because we've been justified

176
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:22,320
we need to know that it says for now I want to make this first person again so I want you to

177
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:30,480
read the first person as you read for yourself for when I was still without strength in other

178
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,280
ways we were all at a point in our life we were just weak we were helpless man there was some

179
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:45,440
stuff that had us so hooked up man we just couldn't every time it came around just helpless everybody

180
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:53,520
told me you're gonna be alright when I was still in that state God was thinking about me when you

181
00:21:53,520 --> 00:22:01,440
were still in that state of helpless God was so he says when we were still without strength in

182
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:09,360
do time at the right time cliff whenever God move on your life it is the right time he says

183
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:18,400
christ died for the somebody said me you the ungodly I know some y'all think he was you the

184
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:24,560
bible you the ungodly and christ died for you while you were still weak and undone

185
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:33,200
that rap see let me know you rap see talking to you right now weak

186
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,840
I ain't gonna never have another drink weak

187
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,200
I ain't gonna never fornicate again I ain't gonna even touch you I ain't gonna look at weak

188
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:53,120
man I'm gonna stop lying weak

189
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:57,280
and ungodly

190
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:00,560
over eating

191
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,840
it's all right long without talking about the fornicators no let's let me talk about those

192
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:22,800
that don't know how to push away weak and ungodly that's what the bible say weak

193
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,560
so when God saw us in that state he knew that that wasn't the best place for us

194
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:34,320
so while we were still weak and ungodly he was thinking about us because in due time

195
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:40,400
he said christ died for the so y'all to be happy man he died because when I was weak

196
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,880
yeah he died when I was you know fornicating he died when I was lying

197
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:55,760
it would have been nice if he said get it right first Jesse but he said why are you still doing it

198
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,280
in due time christ died for the ungodly

199
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:14,720
yeah benefit now look at this he lets us know that you know they're seldom will somebody die for

200
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:20,640
you clear even if you're okay they may even consider it they think you're a good dude

201
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:27,840
but it's so rare you don't see it often so that's why he says for scaffolding for a righteous man

202
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:35,120
for someone you know who's somewhere good will one die yet perhaps for a good man somebody who's

203
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:42,400
especially good first jp i'm gonna consider you it's especially good somebody may even dare

204
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:50,640
to die for you but if they have some second thought they may say jp you on your own man

205
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,720
i thought i could do it for you but but bro why ain't you on your own man i thought i was gonna be

206
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,200
able to take the bullet for you but you you're on your own man i know we'd rather die like that but

207
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:13,520
i didn't know the bullet was gonna come so so scarcely would i die for you why i ain't gonna

208
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:19,680
jump in front of and say i will be your hero now you ain't got but one hero that will end up you

209
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:27,600
his name ain't boulder amen so so so don't make me your hero don't make the person who stand up here

210
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:37,200
and teach you your hero because most people that stand up here ain't gonna sometimes we won't even

211
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,440
pray for you so how in the world

212
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,800
if i ain't praying for your diner's not the question

213
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,960
verse they say but somebody say but well i was told the but you know

214
00:25:54,960 --> 00:26:00,880
you're gonna change the direction of the thought here he says now scarcely would cliff die for me

215
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:08,720
but god somebody say god but god demonstrated his own love toward me toward you toward us

216
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:19,520
and that while we were and while i was still sinning christ died for us christ died for me

217
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,320
that's how you got to read that you know so so god didn't just talk about big game

218
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:31,840
he showed up at the game and he put some skin in the game and then he allowed his son to die for us

219
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:38,480
and i died for me while i was still while i was still

220
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,720
yeah still chasing

221
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:57,520
and you know just still lying still eating too much still he didn't say look you know boulder

222
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:05,680
you ought to stop eating two pieces of pie before i let jesus die i was still eating too many calories

223
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,560
but jesus now i'm just using myself for that but you got to still too

224
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:17,040
yeah don't sit here and try to play me y'all i know you you got to you got to wrap she too

225
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:24,480
why you were still i don't know poor one say still

226
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,120
still not told y'all some of y'all don't got real quiet all right look here

227
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,520
some of y'all still it's not as bad as others but it don't make no difference

228
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,040
huh you were still

229
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:53,760
and we ought to shout because we ought to be glad he let jesus die while we were still

230
00:27:55,120 --> 00:28:01,040
because it would have been worth it for jesus benefit if we had to get it right because he'll still be living

231
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:13,200
right so he says now look in that while we were still sinners christ died for us then he says

232
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:23,360
much more than having now been justified by his blood made right we shall be saved from

233
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:30,080
wrath through him in other words i don't have to worry about condemnation i don't care how mad

234
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:38,400
god get up in heaven he ain't gonna get mad at me because he see the blood he he may say a little

235
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,920
something to me every now and then but he ain't gonna never talk to me about hell

236
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:52,880
i ain't that guy that conversation ain't for me because the blood has sealed that conversation

237
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:59,360
off forever and so therefore when i error i just tell him i'm sorry but i don't have to worry about

238
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:05,520
saying okay i've made a mistake now he's gonna send me there now the blood

239
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:14,560
keeps me from all wrath amen that ought to be something to shout about man you know

240
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:20,320
you don't want to fall into the hands of an angry god and so therefore because we have the blood

241
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,880
protecting us and we have Jesus blood that had been shared for look here that's a sense of freedom

242
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:30,400
that you ought to enjoy that's a benefit that you ought to walk in and live in it so that when you

243
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,120
walk and talk about the Lord you talk about it with confidence because you know hey that is

244
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,200
there for no condemnation for those who are in

245
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,920
so whether you believe in hell or not it don't make me no different if it is one i ain't gone

246
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:58,720
amen so i don't even have to be preached to about no hell i just say that for folks who

247
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,720
you know don't believe in it just let them know but for me that's a lesson i already got clear

248
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:13,280
that's elementary that deal has been sealed and that deal ought to be sealed for each and every

249
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,680
one of you you shouldn't have to wake up every morning being condemned because you're not sure

250
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,320
what your relationship is like with god the blood

251
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:39,520
saved us from wrath through him look at verse 10 he says for if somebody say if if we were

252
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:49,760
enemies if when we were enemies we were reconciled to god through the death of his son much more

253
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:57,440
haven't been reconciled we shall be saved by his life man if god did that for me cliff when i was

254
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:05,520
an enemy and now that jesus have justified me and reconciled me back to god and i'm god's friend

255
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:14,000
why would god kill his why would god why would you kill your

256
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:24,080
he didn't kill me went out of the enemy so why in the world when he killed me now that i'm his

257
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:30,880
friend so now i walk around with a benefit that hey i am a friend of i don't have to worry about

258
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:37,600
him just slapping me around and condemning me why because i'm his friend but with that friendship

259
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:43,840
come responsibility i try to live in a way that please him but at the same time i don't live

260
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,640
in fear of being backhand by god because i'm his

261
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:54,720
like your children they don't have to live in fear of being backhand by you when they are your

262
00:31:54,720 --> 00:32:01,280
no i know some y'all don't backhand your friend you're not you're not you that example

263
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,720
but they don't have to you don't get your little ruler or whatever you don't time out of them

264
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:13,760
you know you don't take the toys they got to walk in that fear when they know that they are no longer

265
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,960
condemned by you because they're your friend

266
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,120
now i know that go against popular teaching your children they're supposed to be your friend

267
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:28,080
because sometimes friends don't respect you like this year but i would much rather have your children

268
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,360
be your friend than to be your friend

269
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:39,120
he said now now that we no longer his enemies and that we've been brought there and reconciled

270
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:46,400
to make friend look at verse 11 says now and not only that but we also somebody to rejoice

271
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:54,880
we rejoice in god through our lord jesus christ through whom we have now received

272
00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:02,880
reconciliation so so the writer is telling us that when you realize that your god's friend

273
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,120
that's a shouting revelation

274
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,640
i think in my mind that i'm thoughts

275
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,080
i'm supposed to

276
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,040
see it looks like he ain't got no friends right here

277
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,960
because his friend is scared to read so can i just take a pause right here because i don't have

278
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,640
one more text and just let y'all have a pause moment of praise moment with your friend because

279
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:40,080
you got a friend who has forgiven you of your sin he has reconciled you because of the blood

280
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:46,880
and therefore he is worthy of your praise he's worthy of your adoration it is not too much to

281
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:53,920
praise your friend it's not too much to ask of you to clap your hands for your friend it's not too

282
00:33:53,920 --> 00:34:02,560
much to ask you to say hallelujah for your friend to say thank you for saving me to your friend

283
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:16,240
hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah see those of you who see sometimes i have to make things like this

284
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,880
out in the social media world everybody is fighting for friends

285
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:29,520
they brag about how many likes i got i got i'm in a friend i got a little dog about red

286
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:36,240
a friend you don't even really know and can't really do nothing for you and you come to church

287
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:40,000
your son i ain't trying to guilt you right here because your conscious i'll be speaking to you

288
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,960
and you come to church your son and got a friend that sacrificed his life

289
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:58,080
and we tell ourselves it don't take all that and we know that our friend loved to be praised

290
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:03,680
he loved to be magnified he loved to be glorified he didn't have his to praise up his people

291
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:11,600
so it shouldn't be nothing wrong with saying thank you when i was a little boy man my grandmom and

292
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:16,720
i'm proud of man if you can't say nothing else to somebody that has done something for you that

293
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:28,240
leaf just say thank you that's enough sometimes you just gotta say and every now and then you

294
00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:40,240
ought to say with some emphasis like you really are thank you because you know the benefit of the

295
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:48,160
blood that was shared for you don't live below your privileges all because you're too proud to say

296
00:35:50,400 --> 00:36:01,040
thank you god i thank you when i with my imagination look back at that rap sheet

297
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,720
that you had on me i say

298
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:11,600
all i have to do is just look at all them charges oh man he had that on me had that on

299
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:16,320
me first degree on that one second degree on that mr. meaner right there but look here

300
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:21,360
that's murder right there that that's that was a capital when you did that that was a capital

301
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:29,760
see somebody ought to got some hold and i let y'all don't forget what y'all rap

302
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:35,040
see look the lez least look like but look at i'm trying to tell you you gotta tell him thank you

303
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:39,760
that you have been freed up from all those charges that was held against you

304
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:46,000
and when i understand that they're not good look here the beauty of that is now

305
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:52,720
nobody can bring those charges up in a way that's gonna make me feel guilty because i know

306
00:36:52,720 --> 00:37:05,680
i know i know i know i know i know that he has exonerated me of all those charges because of the

307
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:16,160
cause of the blood that's a benefit so therefore i live in this freedom major i don't have to

308
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:22,160
walk around bound up i hope major don't go and look at my past and see some of my old posts out there

309
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:28,320
of finding what i did when i was in high school baby dig all you want whatever you see you ain't

310
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:36,240
gonna see a lot because look here i've been freed up the god then just took it out the other record

311
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:42,480
and therefore it don't make me no different if you sniff it out you wasted your time because

312
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:50,480
it's not gonna hold me the blood them freed me up from people people don't get next to me like that

313
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:58,080
no more i could care less what people think because i know what the blood has oh lord let me get back

314
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,240
to my lessons i went forward to get that day because some people need and some of you all need to be

315
00:38:02,240 --> 00:38:08,160
freed up people are holding too much against you and you come to church every Sunday you pray you

316
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:19,600
draw that but you still walk around like you guilty man you better you better find out who you are

317
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:24,640
and the lord is start living like you free start acting like you free start talking like

318
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:35,840
all i'm doing is saying i'm gonna agree with what god say about me and not what somebody else say

319
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:46,800
people will always say something but whatever they say don't mean nothing because they have no

320
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:55,440
condemning power the power to condemn has been covered by the blood oh let me move on let me

321
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,920
move on because i wasn't supposed to get excited right there so this last part i guess i got excited

322
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:03,520
the right play because that was the time we could enjoy but let me just go over here to Hebrews to

323
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:08,960
close out Hebrews chapter nine this is another one of those things that you're going to have to

324
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:15,360
kind of get a good picture of what was going on under the old system see this passage let us know

325
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:26,560
that Jesus was the perfect sacrifice to be offered for our sin not over and over but once and for all

326
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:35,600
and he did that with his blood so the blood of christ purify or cleanse our conscience

327
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:46,960
from sinful deeds in other words the blood of jesus can transform our minds so that we can distinguish

328
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:55,120
what is morally good and bad the blood cleans up up on the inside by the power of the Holy Spirit

329
00:39:55,120 --> 00:40:01,760
making us aware of our thoughts that come into our mind that will try to get us to go back to where

330
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,640
God has delivered us from so every now and then when i want to think about what i used to be

331
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:17,120
revisit that rap sheet the blood the blood say hey you ain't got no business going back there

332
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:22,480
you've been set free so don't take your mind back somewhere where you have been set

333
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:31,200
because most of the things that cause us problems in life starting out

334
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:42,000
if you can let the blood cleanse your mind cleanse the way you think it'll change the way you live

335
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:55,680
you're conducting your character to resolve so what's in your head amen so look at this and i'm

336
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:03,440
in hebrus chapter 9 verse 11 through 14 and i'm done he says now look so christ has become

337
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:12,320
the high priest over all good things that have come in other words hebrus is a comparative study

338
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:18,720
everything that the writer was right he was comparing the old to the new and he's saying now

339
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:26,160
this old priesthood christ is better than that the priesthood the errand and the levites ran

340
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:30,880
where they had to go out and sacrifice animals over and over and over and then offer up a sin

341
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:41,120
offering for themselves that day is he's the priest over all good things that have come not

342
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:50,160
not this coming but have come now he has entered the greater and more perfect tapernacle in heaven

343
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:57,760
which was not made by human hand or and is not part of the creative world in other words

344
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:06,560
the high priest had to come behind the veil once a year in an earthly temple like this house this

345
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:13,840
church and offer up animals blood he said now there's a better tabernacle than this earthly

346
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:19,280
tabernacle and jesus didn't come to this earthly tabernacle to give his blood he went back to the

347
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:26,160
half tabernacle in heaven and laid his blood on the altar there for you that sacrifices much better

348
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:34,080
than the blood of a goat or a ram or a bull or a dove that sacrifice you got to realize you're

349
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:39,920
living under a better covenant a better sacrifice you got to act like you know that because the blood

350
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:49,600
gave you a better deal our deal is better than the old deal so every time we go out there and live

351
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:57,200
beneath our privileges it's almost like we sacrifice in Jesus over again and he said that he was

352
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:05,920
sacrificed once so now you ought to think about man why am I putting Jesus back on the cross

353
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:14,000
why am I going to let this extra piece of power put Jesus back on the cross why am I going to

354
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:24,080
let this movie that got all this pornography in it put Jesus why am I going to let this extra

355
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:30,400
drink of alcohol that I know going to call me to go out my mind put Jesus

356
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:42,800
back on the cross I'm just trying to make you think right now because if you won't think about

357
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:51,280
your life you ain't gonna change because you're gonna settle for what you're comfortable with

358
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:56,720
but every now and then you need to be reminded that the blood was shed for you for a reason

359
00:43:56,720 --> 00:44:03,200
you got a better deal now and because we got a better deal we got to live

360
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:14,160
we still live in under the influence of this created world

361
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:23,680
and it takes the blood of Jesus to help you navigate your way through this created world

362
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:33,200
that is changing culturally every day and if you don't understand your position in this created

363
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,160
world you will get caught up with some of the change

364
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,160
not knowing that the blood has cleansed you

365
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,560
I know it's gonna get quiet right there man I know that's why I ain't yelling I know

366
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,000
because you're thinking now I'm glad you're thinking right now you're thinking right now

367
00:44:54,000 --> 00:45:00,960
I hope that was an evocative moment for you that you look deeper that rap sheet look deeper

368
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:08,160
this world that we live in and say God let me take advantage of the blood that was shed for me

369
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:16,560
he says with his own blood verse 12 not the blood of goats and calves he entered to the

370
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:23,360
most holy place what I told you earlier once for all time and secured our redemption that that word

371
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:30,080
is again for that's why I told you I ain't worry about hell and you know condemnation

372
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,320
forever means forever forever is always

373
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:43,360
forever I'm forever redeemed that wasn't no job that Jesus didn't do perfectly the

374
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:48,400
Bible said he did it perfectly so therefore I'm perfectly redeemed I ain't going to hell

375
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:55,360
amen whether you believe in that I ain't going there I've been redeemed for

376
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:06,240
let me finish this up verse 13 he says under the old system I say old system the old system

377
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:12,960
the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow could cleanse people bodies

378
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:18,400
from ceremonial impurity in other words all you was working on was the outer man

379
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:24,880
you was cleaning up the outer man so we take blood sacrifice the animal sprinkle it all over

380
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:31,520
the altar over you or whatever put some ashes on you and now you will consider ceremonially clean

381
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:40,640
but that didn't last till you took a shower once you go wash it off there's no lasting power in

382
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:48,960
it just like there's no lasting power in baptism water we do that as a ceremony but if your heart

383
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:53,680
don't change in the water before you get in the water you're going to come up out the water and

384
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,520
once you draw off that little same demon that was in you before you went in

385
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:06,080
he there because you thought that the ceremony just going to take that desire from you the

386
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:13,360
ceremony going to know the ceremony just initiate you into the body but after you come out the water

387
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:21,760
now you got to let the spirit work on that because until he started working on the inside the water

388
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:33,680
is just a four he says it cleanses people's bodies from ceremonial impurity look at verse 14 last

389
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:39,680
word he said just think somebody say just think now he wants you to just think about now if if

390
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:49,520
they thought that made them clean just think just think just let your mind go for a moment and

391
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:57,840
paint something on your brain and in your head how you see this playing out just don't turn your

392
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:03,920
brain off and tune out and go somewhere else right now just Todd he said just think right now

393
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:08,160
something ought to be running through your head that you're thinking about what's significance

394
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:16,080
that Jesus blood played my life just if you don't know how to think about the blood you're not

395
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:27,760
gonna live under the benefits just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify or cleanse

396
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:33,600
our conscious our conscious well conscious is the part of that thinking process that

397
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:41,920
so if I think about what Jesus has done then that blood can cleanse my conscious so when some bad

398
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:48,480
thoughts come in I can plead the blood over that thought so that I don't try to act out what I've been

399
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:58,480
you got to get your conscious in line with this word of God you got to get your mind in line with

400
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:04,560
this word of God and you got to plead the blood of Jesus over your mind because your mind still

401
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:11,120
remember your rap sheet your mind know what's in the jacket your mind know what they got on you

402
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:17,840
they mind be your mind know how many cases you had pinned them you know me you know that was some

403
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:26,000
detective sitting there they say I just caught a case today that Veronica and when I opened up her

404
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:33,600
jacket your mind know what he saw but because of the blood of Jesus your conscious I don't care

405
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:40,800
what he saw because I know that I have been redeemed from all that was in there and so therefore

406
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:47,840
when my mind want to go back to that I have to plead the blood so that my conscious will stay

407
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:56,960
in line with what God would have me now you are letting too much that's out there on social media

408
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:02,880
get into your conscious mind and whatever gets in front of your conscious mind and start you to

409
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:10,400
thinking about it you're gonna start acting on what you've been thinking so now this blood is

410
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:20,320
supposed to say that content I cannot read because that content go contrary to what the blood represents

411
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:28,000
so if you had that read in all kind of content and your spirit is never quick I submit to you

412
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:35,600
that blood doesn't stop running your conscious is dead you no longer sense and feel the things of

413
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:40,320
God moved through your spirit because you have become immune to what you're reading now and now

414
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:48,160
that has become a part of you again I know y'all don't want to hear that today what they got this

415
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:52,000
first Sunday this is the blood I said yeah you're saying be forgiven but the devil's still trying to

416
00:50:52,000 --> 00:51:04,800
get your mind so purify our conscious from sin for these so that I can worship the living God so it

417
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:13,600
looked like to me he said we but I put either clip it's hard to worship God when your conscious is

418
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:21,680
all jacked up you come in the word trying to get through to your conscious beating you down you

419
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:28,080
ain't got no business here today you know what you did last week you were you here time out conscious

420
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:35,360
the blood I'm here to worship now and because I know what he's done for me I'm not gonna let you

421
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:41,040
miss this moment in his presence I'm gonna enjoy this because I came to feel something I came to

422
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:46,880
feel some I came to experience I'm not gonna let my conscious mind keep me from feeling what God

423
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:52,960
would help me to feel all because I'm still dealing with guilt and the pain of sin

424
00:51:52,960 --> 00:52:02,160
so those sins for these he didn't say they weren't gonna come they're gonna always come

425
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:10,160
but now your mind has been renewed been transformed and so therefore we plead the blood of Jesus

426
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,040
to help us with the things that come and attack our

427
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:20,560
so that we can worship the living God that's the whole purpose of coming to church you come

428
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:24,080
in at home wherever you are you're just supposed to be a worship moment you're supposed to be worshiping

429
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:30,080
God kidding some from his word feeling like you're in his presence so this ain't just wasted time in

430
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:34,640
your life this is a time that you set apart you ought to get something out of time because you

431
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:41,520
can't get this time back so you got to take advantage of the moments that you have now

432
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:48,720
because once this moment is over it is that's why the world is telling people right now and they

433
00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:54,720
bind it to but they won't buy them to you got to live in the that's the going thing when I'm looking

434
00:52:54,720 --> 00:53:03,040
out there on the Netflix and I'm gonna live in them but what are they talking about but most of

435
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:07,440
time when you hear them say that just look what they're trying to live in and I'm just trying to

436
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:23,120
tell you I want you to live in the base upon where you are oh god I'm done he says by the power of

437
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:31,760
the eternal spirit Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins the blood of

438
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:37,600
Jesus has benefits and therefore when you understand and know that he is your faithful high priest

439
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:44,640
and his sacrifice was perfect you no longer have to bear the guilt the staying the pain and all that

440
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:51,600
stuff that come with your past life your past life is holding you back because your past life

441
00:53:51,600 --> 00:54:03,200
is still in your head you can't get over what happened to you 10 years ago 20 years ago and

442
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:09,600
I'm here to say that the blood is supposed to help you deal with your past and cleanse your mind so

443
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:15,920
that I don't forget what happened to me in my past but I no longer have the pain that's associated

444
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:23,200
with my past I remember every good and bad thing I've done for the most part but when I think about

445
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:31,760
those things now I no longer feel guilty I no longer feel pain by those things even though they

446
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:41,280
I may have hurt somebody when I did it but God has forgiven me don't mean that person has but the

447
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:47,200
one who count has now if I did things right I should have went back to that person and said hey

448
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:52,640
let's make it right and they don't accept the power that's fine but that person ain't gonna be

449
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:56,960
the walker I said well you know he did that to me and then I was gonna gotta go oh man I'm guilty

450
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:04,880
again feel bad I ain't feeling bad that's one area I ain't feeling bad in right there because look

451
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:18,240
here my conscious mind has been cleansed with the blood of Jesus so I don't care what's the

452
00:55:18,240 --> 00:55:26,960
version of Larry Bowden you go and get Larry Bowden 15 Larry Bowden 25 35 45 55 65 whichever

453
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:39,440
version you want to go and get I'm gonna put the blood on it I don't kill he just sound too

454
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,600
yeah well I'm just telling that you ought to be sounding because I'm not gonna live the rest of

455
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:51,200
my life when people talking about me put me on a guilt you can't help nobody if you walking around

456
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:55,600
feeling guilty about every little thing that you done did 20 years ago how you're gonna help and

457
00:55:55,600 --> 00:56:04,400
deliver somebody from something when you have them allowed the blood of Jesus to deliver you

458
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:12,080
so I hope you got something out of today's message there's some benefits to the blood

459
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:20,080
give the Lord a hand cup of praise if you will hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

460
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:27,360
we thank God for the blood of Jesus every head body every eye closed we have several appeals for

461
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:34,480
you my first appeal is for salvation if you're here and you never made Jesus the Lord of your life

462
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:40,160
and you want to give your life to him on today if you're online or you're in the house I just ask

463
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:45,200
if you're here raise your hand someone will minister to you if you're online I just asked

464
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:50,240
you send us an instant message to let us know and we will gladly get in contact with you because we

465
00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:57,040
believe that everybody ought to know who Jesus is everybody ought to know that Jesus came to die

466
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:02,880
for us while we were yet still sinning so if you are there thinking that you got to get some things

467
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:08,320
right because that's a common clause the enemy say but once I get it right once you get it right

468
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:13,360
then you can give your life to the Lord now you ain't gonna get it right not on your own not without

469
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:20,240
his help because you're weak and helpless but if you just trust him he can help you get it right

470
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:25,360
and that starts with accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior so if that is you again I just

471
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:31,120
ask if you just give us a call here to church 8508 6238 999 or if you're in the house just raise

472
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:37,040
your hand just raise your hand say yes pastor I want to give my life to the Lord my second appeal is

473
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:43,280
for new members if you're here and you're looking for a church home and the spirit of God is speaking

474
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:47,600
to your heart and saying striving for perfection ministry is the place for you true we love to

475
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:54,000
have you as a part of this body but we can continue to strengthen you and so that you will walk up

476
00:57:54,000 --> 00:58:00,160
right before God to be more and more like Jesus that is our goal that is our aim is to to make sure

477
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:04,960
that you're nurtured and brought up in the truth of God's word if this is where you think the Lord

478
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:09,360
is leading you please raise your hand if you're in the house if you're online just give us a call

please raise your hand please raise your hand please raise your hand

480
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:20,080
then my third appeal is for the baptism of the Holy Spirit if you're here and you want to know

481
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:24,720

486
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:50,480

487
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:56,000
rent you can go to him any kind of anytime you want to in your own way so if you got a prayer

488
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:00,880
concern you may want to intercede on someone else for heaven that the spirit of God is speaking to

500
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:26,400
has got to get into our heart and in our minds so that we will live in accordance with us that I

501
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:32,240
thank you for reminding us just how precious the blood of Jesus is it was a perfect sacrifice

502
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:39,200
for all of our sins one time and for all so God we thank you for counting us worthy you count us

503
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:46,080
valuable enough to let Jesus die just for us I truly believe that if heaven rejoiced because

504
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:52,160
one sinner gives their life to the Lord I believe Jesus would have died just for one person on this

505
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:57,920
earth and so God I thank you for letting him die for all of us so that we could have a way back to

506
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:03,120
you and Father we just promise that we're not going to take for granted this relationship that we

507
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:08,000
have with you because of him we're not going to live below our privileges God so we're going to

508
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,960
walk in the favor and the honor that you have bestowed upon us and God I pray that you keep our

509
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:21,040
minds and things focused on you so that as our old nature try to re-reach up in our lives that the

510
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:27,200
blood of Jesus will cleanse us from that thought that acts in that deep whatever it is God we

511
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:33,120
plead the blood of Jesus that was shed for us and God when it's all said and done we give you all

512
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:40,080
praise honor and glory in Jesus name we pray that everybody say amen say amen again amen give the
