Curry Blake - The New Man Session 7

all right well if you have the manual go to page 14 we're going to pick right up now a lot of this one of the things that in in Christian seminars and trainings we'll call it a training but many times it's not like a training because pretty much if you just sit there and listen that's not a training that's a teaching and so the purpose that I believe that God put me in the ministry was to train people okay that's the that's the act of making disciples is to actually train you not to just give me a place to preach and a place for you to go and listen so the idea as we're going through this is for you to see the principles so that once this is over you can pick up your Bible and you can do the same thing with it and understand it and read through it and it'll work for you all right now my job predominantly and we work when just here a little bit trying to get this thing make sure I got no wires good there we go okay so that my job predominantly is to work myself out of a job I mean that that should be the goal of the fivefold ministry is to work ourselves out of a job so that you literally don't need us anymore because and then you become us to other people that's that's the way it's got to work there's no way that any I think George Barna did a survey one time or some kind of poll or something and in it he said that if you take every Church in America filled it to capacity it would still all the churches filled would still hold less than 10% of the population and that gives you an idea of how many people still could not get into church and it shows people people said well man then we got churches on every corner we don't need more churches we're right let me tell you every house should be a church every building should be a church we we need places and I know with myself I personally don't really like mega church systems just because people have a tendency to get in kind of get lost in the crowd and there's not a lot of personal interaction that kind of thing and there's ways around that and some churches we've done very good about it by creating cell groups and connection groups and you know we even have our life teams that are it wasn't designed the same as a cell group but it was for a different purpose but even in that sometimes you know I don't want to be just negative towards something you know just say well megachurches oh they're just bad because they're just so big well that's not necessarily true I mean it'd be good if we could get a stadium that seats thirty fifty thousand people and get it filled every Sunday you know with Christians that don't just come to here and be preached to but come to learn to do something and then take that gospel back out on the street and then it affect the change and then next Sunday that things should be filled with thirty to fifty thousand new Christians that the Christians last week went out and won and this week they can't even get in the same stadium anymore because now they've got all the new Christians they won coming in see that's the way this thing should work know people said well you know but it's supposed to get worse and it's supposed to be bad no it's not even going into that but there is still I'm not going to turn somebody away by the idea of thinking that things are supposed to get bad I mean I'm not gonna say well you know it's we're not gonna win an entire city because it's supposed to be bad not good I don't believe that way and I'm not saying it's all gonna get great and it's all gonna be perfect everything's gonna work out you know utopian society and I'll send that either what I'm saying I don't want to limit what God can do in any given area so he can change cities he can change areas he can change nations amen so as if that's gonna happen if your city is going to change I mean if you invite me I'll come to your city all right whether you're from here or somewhere else we we try to work it out but at the same time there are places that I may never get and if you're here from those places then you take this message back you run with it you say but but I'm not I had been through Bible School I hadn't done this I'm not ordained I'm not all these things don't worry about what you're not focused on what you are right and let God work through you and he will change your area now you can if you'll learn how we're doing this and watch the principles of how we're teaching this then you take that back and do the same thing in a small group in your home or wherever you're at and you can relay these same truths the Word of God will work in a group of 10 or a group of 10,000 because it's the Word of God amen and all God needs is somebody who will say I will present the gospel that's it so let's let's look at this net we're on page 14 about halfway down it starts at Romans chapter 3 and if you don't have a manual you can go to Romans chapter 3 and we're going to be looking at these statements and you're going to see some common elements in all the statements that we're going to be pointing out today they're all going to have words like in Christ in him in whom by who things like that so the first one in Romans 3:24 says being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus now let's take that apart let's look at it what it says first off what do we have justification we were justified how freely right it wasn't a matter we had to work ourselves into it or had to work to position to attain it right we were justified freely how by our works no by His grace now if you have manual and you have a ink pen or even if you have your Bible if you want to mark in your Bible that's fine if you have a manual you can actually break this up and actually have the words justified freely underline and other words by His grace through the redemption underline and you can actually take and what I do is I take my pen in my Bible and also in these notebooks that I make and I will go in and I will put parenthesis and break these things into statements or pieces of statements for instance I would take to the parentheses and put parentheses around being justified freely and just kind of block that off and that way I would read that and then realize that that's one part and then I would put parentheses around by His grace and then I'd put parentheses around through the redemption and that way I'm breaking up and making myself focused each part of this and I'm not just reading through it and when you read through it it's like you read through the whole thing and you get nothing but if you break it down in about pieces and read it then you realize what's actually being said so what were we were justified free so someone says well well you know who are you or what are you today well I'm justified freely now you wouldn't actually say that necessarily but it needs to be registered in you that that's who you are I'm justified free I didn't buy it didn't purchase it didn't live good enough for it didn't deserve it but I am right that's the good part and you say oh that's called grace exactly justified freely how by His grace right and then it says through the redemption now had he not redeemed us we wouldn't be justified freely right so you have to actually look at what he's saying here is that we were justified freely by His grace which is through the redemption not a redemption the redemption there's one redemption right you don't have a different redemption you didn't do something to get redeemed there's one redemption Jesus did it Hebrews said once for all done right he perfected us once for all people say well you know you just think you're perfect yes thank you right I don't always look perfect don't always act perfect but in the spirit I'm perfect right and now I'm trying to renew my mind so that my mind will help my body operate in the perfection that God through Jesus Christ has accomplished right not by my works not by my own self it's an overflow or an outflow of what's in there and really what it is is that your soul in your body has to be infected about what's in your spirit to the point where your soul in your body mirror what is in the spirit right and that's called transformation whenever they see on the outside what is inside you okay now so we know this now the thing is when you start studying it this way now your manual has something like 177 pages in it and out of that probably a hundred and I would say probably 160 you somewhere - there are 150 560 are just scriptures so if you're going to take each Scripture and do this to it you could spend quite some time going through this amen this is not an overnight over week you know we're not gonna get this done this weekend's what I'm saying and you're going to go back home and you could continue to go through this probably at least the rest of this year at least right and if you want to get real in-depth on it even probably all of next year - because here's the thing that I want to remind you what we're talking about I read to you yesterday Colossians 1:27 where Paul said this is the mystery was hid from ages and generations this is the mystery not a mystery the mystery that was hid but has now been manifested to his Saints that's us and he said this mystery he tells us what it is it is Christ in you the hope of glory that's the mystery how God could come live in a human that's it now the amazing thing about this is this is the mystery that Paul preached and if you some of these things historically we have to guess that because there are no clear records but if Paul was saved somewhere around 30 abs are somewhere around in the 40 I think it was about 40 anywhere from 40 to 44 beast ad and this was written and then you you know you add from about 40 to 44 AD and you add about 14 years that he spent off on his own and then he came back in and started preaching you're looking at roughly 40 to 60 roughly 60 ad and then this letter or Colossians and so most those other letters colossians ephesians philippians galatians most of those were written around 64 AD so roughly paul had been saved 20 years roughly a little over that had been preaching had gone out started planting churches and all that was going on and from that time on whenever he was in receiving revelation directly face-to-face with Jesus and whenever he died they say through being executed in Rome that he died he was actually he referred to himself at one point as Paul the aged right and more than likely whenever he was tracking down Christians and take him into prison he had to be probably in his 30s to 40s more than likely into his 40s possibly even more so but probably in his 40s somewhere and he was going around and arresting all the Christians and then that means that he probably preached for a good forty a good forty years almost 40 almost 50 years and so the amazing thing is this and that I said all that to get to this point Paul preached one message one and that was his revelation now he said he was given the messenger of Satan because of his many revelations but all of his many revelations were all pieces of the one mystery that's it Paul didn't have this thing and that thing in this thing and not par didn't have all this whack right everything Paul did and as you look at these Gospels or these sub epistles you look at again Ephesians Colossians Philippians Galatians even into Hebrews but mainly those four it is amazing that over every letter Paul wrote first second Corinthians Timothy after all of them you name it every one of them were essentially written because of a problem a local church was heaven or a local minister in a church was having with some of his parishioners and he wrote letters to them saying here's the problem or usually they were write to him and say here's our problems going on and he would write back to them and say well here's the answer and the amazing thing is the answer never had to do with the problem he never went back and said oh you know here's how you do it he gave some details fix this fix that this person is doing that kick him out it just first do this here's a you know you know ministers ought to have this type of reputation he did all that kind of stuff but his answer to every problem was twofold reckon yourself dead and Christ is in you every answer that and that's why I'm so emphatic on this this is the message this is the revelation of Paul this is what he preached this is what he wrote to the churches he preached this for 40 or 50 years now obviously if he spent and he said he labored more abundantly than all the other apostles so if he didn't if he labored longer stronger harder more than all the other apostles for 40 to 50 years we're not going to cover his entire teaching in a weekend right he spent his entire ministry preaching this so all I'm trying to do here is get you into this get you to look at it and get you to start examining it and give you the principles so that when you leave you can actually go into these things and you'll know how to dig this stuff up you'll know what to look for and first off if you just know that every time you read an epistle you know two things are gonna come out of it you know number one who you are in Christ it's going to be something going back to Christ in us that that is the glory of God that under supreme you know potentate of the universe can dwell in us individually and as a group that in itself is just phenomenal you know most people never get their heads around that okay but if you can start to realize who lives in you and that you're not limited to you anymore see that's the key to Christianity that's the kid you want to know how to get people to take people healed it's easy just realize it's not limited to you as long as you think it's limited to you you'll always have your limitations and your thing God can't do it because you know I didn't pray enough didn't fast enough didn't do this enough didn't do that good enough when I prayed I missed something you know I and usually that's what you'll see you'll pray for somebody and if you don't see a change first thing that hit your mind is what did I miss well you might not have missed nothing you know it might just be that you put the seed of life into that person and just like a farmer plants a crop it may take a little bit of time for it to come out and but the bad part is the minute you start saying what did I miss you just dug up the seed and now it's not going to grow you say you've just undone what you just did so once you plant that seed you've got to see that's the faith part is understanding that once you plant that seed that seeds there it will grow that's the beauty of this see a farmer can plant seed I don't know if y'all have done much farm and I surely haven't but I've been around it some and you know there you can get a hold of some bad seed you can get a hold of some seed that just won't produce yeah you plant it out and you go down a row and all of a sudden you got this patch that just won't grow why cuz it was bad seed to see just died in the ground that's the beauty of this we are told specifically we are born again by the word of god which is in corruptible seed know what that means that means that once this seed is put in you it cannot fail to produce I mean if you did nothing it's got to produce if you just plant it and agree with it let me give you an example whenever the Holy Spirit spoke to Mary and said Mary you're going to have a child and it's going to be called holy and they're right and Mary said how's this going to be I've never known a man how's this going to happen you know she didn't say it can't happen she didn't say I don't believe it she just which is it's a reasonable question if you think about it if she's never known a man and she hears a voice or however it happened and says you're going to be pregnant it would be kind of a natural reaction saying how does that work you know how's that going to happen I mean I know the natural process but God you're saying there's gonna be a different process how does that work there's nothing wrong with asking it she didn't say that can't be see if she said that can't be then he'd have probably said yeah okay they're not gotta go find somebody else that would agree but instead she said I don't understand how can that be nevertheless according to your word be it unto me now words I don't know how it's gonna work but I I receive it and guess what and you get it let's just take that that little scenario because we always look at the people that did everything right well there's look at the people that went after things but do you realize all she said was I don't understand I don't know how it's gonna work but you said it so okay I agree let's let's let it happen and it happened and they're right and the funny thing is this isn't she conceived and the amazing thing is now we have even in the English language we have the idea of you test somebody well here's how this works here's how that works and here's what we're going to do with this and you and someone look at you go I don't know I just can't conceive of that you know I just can't conceive how that's gonna happen right we use the same terminology and it is exactly accurate what because you have to be able to conceive whatever God to dis word whenever I read this word to you you have to be able to conceive this word yet be able to say you know how does that work I don't know I got news for you I don't know how it works you don't have to know how it works Mary didn't know how it works but it still worked all she did was agree with it not even knowing how it works do you get that our problem is especially as Westerners we think very limit linear you know we want to know how does this work what makes this happen frankly that's none of your business and if God wants to tell you he can tell you right but you the beauty is you don't have to know that for it to work what because the seed I don't know I'm sure a farmer could tell me but I don't know enough about seed and farming to tell you how a seed plant in the ground actually grows up I mean I know the you know nutrition and the ground and the moisture and I know that stuff but I'm saying how what makes it actually did I don't know right I've never said it enough I'm sure they do but the key is you don't have to know how something works to make it work I mean I mean how many of you I know there's some use it could do this but I would be willing to bet the vast majority of you could not do it how many of you could actually draw me a schematic to show me what happens whenever you flip on a light switch and how it goes and where it goes I know there'd be some I know there's always one in every crowd I'm ever I was up in them where was that sounds good you Rica Springs and Wayne and Sandy Warmack were there they're north of here awesome people and I haven't memorized talking I said now because they were talking they were going through kind of the Hebrew Jewish feast and that kind stuff and they said I'm they kept using the name Yeshua which of course is a Hebrew name for Jesus and they said issue and I got up and I would say all right you know when you pray in the name of Jesus and somebody there somebody else there wasn't him but they would say Yeshua like they were trying to you know correct me all right let's get something straight English is my natural language in English it's Jesus right and if I was Spanish it would be hey soos all right if I was speaking Greek it would be ASIS if I was speaking Hebrew it would be Yeshua or technically a husha wa all right which is even the extended version I said so we get honest but how many of you speak Hebrew no hands went up except Wayne Wayne saying goes up it's okay haven't now so no okay so Hebrew is not the prominent how many of you speak Greek or understand Greek Wayne Hauser okay now how many of you speak Spanish Wayne it's just I said how many of you besides Wayne speaks other languages and I said alright so most of you English is your normal language anyways I guess like okay so today is Jesus do you get that and as I said the beauty of it is no matter what language we use it in Devils know who we're talking about right that's what counts I'm eras at a fast food place one time and the guy that was waiting on me as his nametag on and it when I looked up I mean he was Hispanic and his name was hey soos but it said Jesus I looked up and I said there you are as I've been trying to get ahold of you all day look I said we got some things we got to where he's looking me like huh huh and so I just started talking I like you you know your name is Jesus he goes it's a Seuss I said yeah hey Suzie a Seuss Yashwant yeah it's all the same and it but I got a chance to witness to him because of it and I just kind of were just having fun I just didn't enjoy life I mean you can just you can just have fun and one of the ways to have fun is many people think you're crazy right two things about being crazy number one people will enjoy life with you and they don't want to make you mad okay so it's pretty good life so anyway just letting you know okay yeah let's get back in the scripture though so you want to break these things up I'm trying to teach you how to learn I see I'm not here to give you a fish I'm here to teach you how to fish I mean because if I can do that see if I if I give you a fish you're gonna be calling me next week and saying what about this what about that need help with this pray for this thing but if I teach you how to fish then you may or may not be calling but if you do call me I probably because you got a testimony of how your fishing worked for you amen that's what we want so Romans 3:24 we just read that one look at the next one Romans 5:2 now one of the things I do in these manuals and I'd do it right here in the beginning is you'll see I've just pulled out scriptures you know we went from Romans 3:24 to Romans 5:2 well how many know there's two chapters in between that just about okay and I don't like doing that because I don't like breaking out because you can pull a scripture out sometimes and make it say anything you want if you pull it out of context so you'll notice when we get toward the end of the manual it's the entire book of Ephesians is in this manual the entire book of Colossians the entire book of Philippians and the entire book of Galatians they're all in here and now we're not going to study a reverse but the reason I put them all in there and I didn't need to it it just added pages but the reason I put them in there is because I want you to when you go read this I want you to be able to read through and realize that what we're what we're emphasizing is in context and the only way you can do that is if you have the whole book there rather the whole chapter so that's the only reason I do that and by the way it doesn't hurt you to read the whole letter okay Paul wrote the whole letter you can read the whole letter okay a lot harder for him to write it than it is for you to read it right so it doesn't hurt to read the entire thing no in the book of Revelation it even says that you'll be blessed just for reading it right well that's true with the whole book so it's always good just to read just take the scripture and read it out loud it's always good so Romans 5:2 notice right at the beginning it's underlined if you have the manual by whom now who are we talking about Jesus God Jesus right by whom also we have access now watch they'll take your pin and you would mark access by faith you would print the seas around that I don't have to I guess I'm gonna start doing this with a overhead thing and drawing it and showing you on there might work out good I don't like to use a lot of technology because then when you get somewhere where there is no technology it's you know it doesn't work right it doesn't feel right now I don't like to depend on technology use technology but never depend on it right because if when you depend on technology the devil is the Prince of the power of the air and he has a tendency to try to knock out lights and knock out power and make light bulbs burn out on projectors now and never be at the mercy of technology amen you ought to be able to take your Bible with nothing else and really once we work through this manual and you go through it you ought to better put this manual aside pick up your Bible and do the same thing with your Bible right we could do the same thing with it because that's what counts amen and by the way if you're trying to teach somebody and you pull out a manual number one two things happen number one you lose a certain amount of authority right and number two you raise a certain amount of question because they're gonna know what manual is that what is that what are you teaching me from where does that come from but if you can open up the Bible and just say here's the Bible you got a Bible open up wouldn't let's go to this then you have integrity you have credibility you you don't raise questions alright it's always better to work straight from the Bible it's easier in settings like this to work out of a manual because we can go through a pretty quick but when you're working with an individual always work with the Bible right and remember the disciples did not carry around Bibles right except in their heart they had it right they remembered it they had it and the Holy Spirit brings it forth commit scripture to memory but it's I'm always rely on the Holy Spirit to bring up what is necessary and don't try to stick to the plan so much when the Holy Spirit keeps trying to take you another area or go off on what people we would call a bunny trail sometimes the bunny trails are more anointed than sticking to the plan amen because God knows who's there he knows what people need to hear so go with that and don't don't go totally off and do a different seminar you know you need to come back into the main road somewhere but there are times when people need to hear certain things like yesterday pretty much yesterday was introductory bunny trail okay but there was a reason for it so now we're back on trail on track here and we'll see if darling spirit will let us stay here okay so and that's why I'm from move fast before he takes us off somewhere else no Romans 5:2 by whom also we have access by faith how do you have access by faith so faith gives you access right so is there any time when you don't want when your faith should not be active and alive and working no it should be all the time right right and we were just about this before now if you went to Ephesians don't go there right now but if you want to where to Ephesians chapter 6 it says putting on the whole armor of God and taking the armor of God and says taking the shield of faith so your faith the shield is what gives you access right it gives you protection but it's that faith that gives you access right so don't lay that thing down when you go to bed at night and get up the next morning put on your armor again keep it on all right so it's believe me it's comfortable sleeping in the armor of God amen it's not uncomfortable I'm ending it that keep your faith active trust God that why if you put your faith out there you stick it out there you have it working on something when you go to bed at night don't bring it back and then think tomorrow you got to get up and do it again leave it working right I mean when you plant seed in the field do you only want it working during daylight hours you want to stop growing at night of course not you want to keep growing right do the same thing with faith amen keep your faith active keep it pushing out there doesn't mean you have to keep thinking about it just don't pull it back right put it out there don't pull it back all right by whom also we have access by faith now what is this access by faith what are we getting access - now we know how we get access it's by faith but what are we getting access to into this grace wherein we stand you hear that even the words we are standing in grace that means we stand in the understanding of the fact that we didn't do anything to deserve this and we can't do anything to enhance it so now we just live out of gratitude but we stand in the grace in other words we don't waver in the grace wavering and grace is when we start thinking we have to do something to make it happen right the the greatest I was blessed that I got to spend some time with dr. Summerall and I always tell everybody I was taught faith in Tulsa but I learned faith when I went to South Bend where dr. Sumrall was because I had a lot of teaching about faith when I was in Tulsa but I learned how to walk by faith when I watched dr. simmer all I spent time with him and I watched how he lived faith on a daily basis I couldn't ever get that close really to brother Hagin and some of those people but dr. Sam rod was in his church he was my pastor and I was around well because of that one of the things that he always emphasized because he taught him the gifts of the Spirit and he talked about the gift of faith and he always went back to people like Moses and said okay here's an example of kind of the gift of faith the gift of faith always does two things it provides protection or provision right and it always the gift of faith always operates in a the the key scripture for the gift of faith would be what Moses said stand still and see the salvation of God which means you're not making it happen you're standing there and watching God do it in other words you're saying watch this what's what God's gonna do then - God hadn't done anything yet but you're just saying okay watch this watch what God's you're so convinced that God's going to do it that you're just telling everybody just stand here and watch watch what's happening alright and that takes some guts a min because you don't want to say hey watch this and nothing happened okay that's not good the gift of faith says just stand and watch and it you're not always having to do it now the other of the gifts and this is not a gift seminar but the other other gifts is the working of miracles the gift of the working of miracles and the gift of the working of miracles it's not a gift of miracles there is no such thing as a gift of miracles it is the gift of the working of miracles and for that gift to work you've got to work it all right you have to do something to make it happen that's why usually we don't see miracles in the church because nobody is willing to step out go out on the limb take a chance and work it and make it work because you technically don't have any assurance that it's going to work before you do it and other than your faith it's going to happen there's no proof it's going to happen but you step out and you do something and whenever you do it if it if it doesn't work you're gonna look pretty stupid because you've stepped out but that's why most people never see it happens because they're not willing to step out they're not willing to take that chance to look stupid if it fails and so you know the working of miracles and I say the work in miracles is you do something but the gift of faith is you stand and you're not doing anything and usually the gift of faith operates like I said in protection or provision God provides for you or he protects you from something now that's not the only two ways but that's the main area so whenever we say stand that's what Moses said at the Red Sea stand still see the salvation of God well that's what he's saying here in a watches by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand now what are we standing in in grace but how do we stand what allows us to stand in grace faith faith gives you the the guts the courage to stand and just say this is where I met and it is when you stand in grace knowing that you can do nothing to make it happen but you're standing by faith saying watch and see what happens amen are you kind of are you getting this do you understand what I'm saying here so in that that's what he's saying here he said by who Jesus is by Jesus that we have access by faith into the grace and the grace is what we stand in so we stand in the grace of God people say well but you're not doing something to make it happen I know I'm standing and then I'm standing in the grace saying I'm standing in the fact that God has put me here and say we're moving and I catch a lot of flack from this kind of stuff mainly because there are people who make a living off of trying to get you to do something usually it's write a check all right or something along those lines and what I'm telling you is if you're in the kingdom of God it belongs to you but if you're in the kingdom of God you should want to give because you know that God will provide for you okay and it should show your heart but at the same time it's we need to move away from the natural now we were talking with this yesterday men some of the guys were telling us that there is a the law of sowing and reaping is real it's true it works at work for anybody it works for Christians it works for non-christians right if the law of sowing and reaping did not work for non-christians then non-christians wouldn't have to worry about reaping what they've been sowing right but it's funny in the church we talk more about sowing and reaping having to do with money and it's an overall law but it's a natural law God said in Genesis as long as there is seed time and heart and lung as the earth remains therein long as the Sun the moon earth all that long as it remains there will be seed time and harvest that's a natural law has nothing to do with the kingdom of God amen anybody can so you know there's farmers who are Christian there's farmers who are not Christian and guess what it works right they still have crops and harvest now that's a natural law but Kingdom law is it is the father's pleasure to give you the kingdom now at that point I'm not saying you shouldn't give but there's a difference between sowing and giving sowing means you're expecting to receive back now if you sow you so to get honestly that's that's what you do it for but now when you give you give without any thought of returning back again right however you know that you can't outgive God so if you give you know you're going to get back but you're not giving to back you see that if you get this you will never again be ripped off by some charlatan TV preacher right and I'm not saying they're all charlatans I'm just saying there are some amen and very honest I'm just tired of watching the church literally get raped by fake people all right and I'm sure some are sincere in those areas they're just wrong but we have to realize Jesus paid everything amen it's paid Christianity for you to be a Christian does not require money amen it does not require money for you to be a Christian now it requires money to go around the world and preach the gospel and you know provide materials for people in prison and that kind of stuff and all that yeah it does but I'm saying for you to be a Christian for me to be a Christian Jesus paid that price I don't pay that price amen you can't pay that price so there's not an aspect where we have to where Christianity requires money for us to remain Christian in essence and the beauty of it is if you if you give your heart to God then everything you have is his so it's really not even like you're giving it to God he already owns it you're just spending it where he tells you to spend it amen if you're gonna hold it I'm telling you money will always be your God or a tool it makes a good tool it makes a terrible God so always shift it to the tools side and not the god side and when you make decisions based on money it's a god so don't make decisions based on money make decisions based on the will of God and then go that way and expect God to meet you there with whatever money you need to get there amen I'm telling it so help you God this is it's the way we live and it works so because of that we do things that we can't do okay if you looked at our books and looked at what we do you'd say how do you do that I don't know but we end up there every every month right and we've not missed a meal as you can tell and and we've not you know we've not had to go on any force fast you know we've been able to choose if we want to fast we don't have to so I'm just saying I'm trying to help I'm not trying we're not taking an offering all right I'm not this isn't a preload to an offering please understand I'm here to help honestly if you didn't give a damn I'm still gonna make it if we didn't take up an offering in there's places where I forget to take which I'm still gonna make it what because I'm doing God's work and he's going to take care of me no matter what you do see you can't you can help me move the gospel but you can't stop me you get it you can't stop me go on give it because God will see to it that we're taking care of so you know if you think I'm pulling for money don't give simple as that it's are you gonna do amen how many times you're a different puppet yeah all right now let's look at the he's here no Bert Romans 511 and not only so but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ by whom underlined by whom if it's not already underlined by whom we have now received the atonement you hear that by now or by whom now or we have now received we have now received yet that through Jesus we have received not we shall receive we have received and I know you said when you just you know you're emphasizing there's too much let's move on we can move faster okay I'm trying to show you this is how I study I'll read through stuff but I'll take scriptures and I'll go over them and read them back and go back this way and this is where it gets over to be better to know you know one scripture well then 10,000 you know halfway and then get that thing drilled into you so whenever whenever you're squeezed and you don't have time to think this is what comes out right that's that's the way it has to be now now you know obviously I've underlined that so you could go in and do the parentheses and underline or highlight or whatever Romans 8:1 now Romans 8:1 and we're going to looking at the whole chapter huh probably before too long cuz it the whole chapter is really good but Romans 8:1 says there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus now that's not where it stops do the parenthesis there's a comma there who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit and what that says there is no condemnation those who are in Christ Jesus but it doesn't just say there is never any no condemnation there it says there's no condemnation those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit so if you're walking after the flesh guess what you're going to get condemnation and doesn't mean God is condemning you matter of fact most of the condemnation you read about the New Testament is you condemning yourself it is your own conscience that condemns you and if your conscience condemns you then it says you have no confidence toward God well confidence is faith so if you're if you have come if you have if your conscience is condemning you for something and you're doing something you know it's wrong it's not God saying I won't use you or I won't bless you because you're doing something wrong it is you saying God won't bless me because I'm doing this wrong and it's your own conscience that causes that you get that it's not God saying it's you saying it but you have to realize here that there is condemnation to those who walk after the flesh even if you are in Christ and walking after the flesh in Christ has to do with you have been not having your mind renewed because once your mind renewed you really don't walk in the flesh or after the flesh okay so I'm just trying to set some things to where you realize when you read them because many times we just read through them and we just don't get the gist of it Romans 8:2 now here he tells why there's no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who walk after the spirit and not after the flesh for the law and notice the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath passed hence made me free here that it's not something you attain he made you free from the law of sin and death now notice before too long I plan on doing a extra series on the laws of the Spirit and we're going to talk about all the different laws of the Spirit now here we see two laws automatically the first one is the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus that's one law and that law negates or set you free from the law of sin and death so you got a law of spirit of life in Christ Jesus and you got two law of sin and death now if you go under the law you're under the law and but it's not just the law it's the law of sin and death right so when you put yourself under the law you're putting yourself under sin and death but if you put yourself under the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus then you cannot be under both you have to choose now think about this it said that the law came by Moses but grace came by Jesus and they're right if you remember I think it's a tremendous Scripture was it and it might be John 9 things in John 9 end of John 9 they actually the the blind man gets healed and they go you know and the Pharisees want to throw him out of the temple and there's a whole lot of trouble and they start asking him and then they go to his parents and his parents say hey he's of age ask him don't why are you asking us because they were cowards and didn't one get kicked out of the temple - and they said you ask him he can tell you and they went back and asked the man again he said ah and it's amazing when you read it because his whole attitude starts to come out and you start reading it's funny because he says why are you asking me I've already told you this is it do you want to be his disciple - is that what you're asking what he's kind of been as we say they're a little smarter lucky you know what I mean Stern attic because he knew the Pharisees didn't want to be Jesus's disciples and the Pharisees responded back and said we are Moses's disciples and that scripture so perfectly encapsulates along with description right here the the division that has to be made in you are you Moses this disciple or you Jesus's disciple if you're Jesus's disciple then you're going to walk in the spirit of the law or the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus and you're going to walk free and you're gonna walk in grace because that's what came by Jesus or if you're gonna be you have to decide through me Jesus's disciple or if you're gonna be Moses disciple and the way you decide because nobody's gonna say well I'm going to Moses disciple but when you put yourself under the law and make the law the defining guidelines you are becoming Moses's disciple that's what that's what the Pharisee said no we're Moses disciple because we follow the law so you have to decide are you Moses disciple or Jesus's if you're gonna be Jesus's you're gonna walk in grace and you are going to fool feel the law by nature not by compulsion do this don't do that oh I saw you messed up yep you know oh yeah I messed up okay I better get it right no it's not like that you will automatically do it because you will love God and love your neighbor and you're going to keep hearing this over and over again because you've got to move from that law mentality to freedom it's law mentality that causes you to want to make sure that you pray just right that's what we made am i praying right did I miss anything one because you'd think that there is every jot and tittle of the law that you're gonna have to obey and if you miss one little point it's not gonna work okay that's not grace that's the law it is amazing we sing the song in church even you know he looked beyond my faults and saw my need remember that we just sing that in church they don't sing about you or too often but still there and we know this and yet we don't live by it we we talk grace we talk it forgiveness but then we act as though it it's all law and that's why the world anything to us because all the world see if you talk it's even a it's a psychological truth that if you say 99 things bad about a person or if you if you say not anything 99 things good about a person let me get it right and you say one negative thing about it the negative thing impacts them more than the 99 good things and they'll remember the bad thing you said and won't remember all the good things you've said alright well because first off that's the that's the nature of the thing that's that's this fallen world that's the way the natural man thinks and if you say something negative it takes you 99 good things to try to offset that so every time you say you tell somebody you're stupid you can't do this you'll never amount to anything every time you say that you're reinforcing that in them and no matter if you come back later and say well you look nice or you do this or well that was a good job they really don't hear that and that's why many times kids spend their whole life trying to get their parents approval because all they heard in the early years was no don't you can't you know and I'm not saying don't tell you kids know and don't I'm saying if you're negative toward them and they do something foolish and you say that's so stupid when are you ever gonna learn okay I'm not saying that you shouldn't try to correct them but there's a way to do it amen and whenever you get that we have to move from as the church we have to promote and show the grace of God not just the law that because no matter what we say good about Jesus or about anybody else the world remembers the bad and they see us as judgmental they see us as putting people down and that kind of thing amen that they don't see their sin as bondage they see it as us trying to get this thing you know trying to blast them right now two laws with all the spirit of life in Christ Jesus law of sin and death one negates the other you can't be in both at the same time you're under one or under the other you're Jesus's disciple or Moses's disciple I'll make the choice the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made you free from the law of sin and death the beauty of that is means you get to go anywhere minister life you get to your lay hands on a sick there's no law against you healing the sick well what if God doesn't want me to do that nope no law against it you can heal all you want to right you can go out and bless everyone you want to you can pray for everyone you want to it is never against God's will for you to pray for anybody bless anybody set anybody free heal anybody it's always right to do right amen if it's right it's right to do amen you got that take a break that quick when it quit 45 minutes all right
