Freedom from sin (David Wilkerson)

[Music] what I believe is the only way to get dominion over sin it's the only way I've seen after all these years of breaching first of all let me Begin by saying that man cannot save himself he cannot deliver himself from the power of sin it is impossible it has to be the work of God by his Spirit God sent the old Covenant to take away those feelings of Holiness out of you till you get Christ Holiness God had a problem he still has a problem before you can have dominion over sin God has to work out these problems and I see two major problems two things that have to be accomplished in man before God can deliver him from his besetting sin first of all God has to get the sin bound man he the first thing he has to do is get you to want to be free he has to bring us to the place where we we have to cry out I want out of this I don't want to carry it anymore because man in his natural self in his own nature does not want to be delivered from his sin he wants to toy with he wants Jesus and his sin at the same time he really doesn't want to be delivered even though he says he does and if he wants to be delivered it's only because of the pain it causes him and the guilt but you see God has to bring forth something in the heart of man something that causes this man more than anything else in the world to want to be free from his sin problem number two that God has how does he get this man to come to the end of himself in all of his human efforts to break himself free and then to cast himself in the only hope that he has in Christ Jesus how does God bring a man to the end of his strength how is he going to do this how does God accomplish to bring a sin bound man to give up the fight and lay down his human pride and come like a dead man to the Cross this is all accomplished by what the Bible calls the old Covenant the Bible said there are a number of covenants but in Hebrews e8th chapter the writers dealing with two covenants and you and I are living either under the old Covenant or the New Covenant Christians live for all their life time many live under the old Covenant they never do get into the New Covenant some of you sitting in you're under the old Covenant unless god Set You Free you're going to go out under the old Covenant and you will never be free you will always be bound by your sin you will never understand Freedom you would understand the glory of the Cross when you are under the old Covenant and you've got to come by faith into the New Covenant God says to the old Covenant if you will obey my voice and keep my Covenant ye shall be unto me a holy nation obey my voice and I will be your God it depended on Absolute Total obedience obedience by the law is the knowledge of sin the law was given so that we can we could know our hearts we could know how helpless how sinful how Wicked we are with this Adam nature that every mouth must be stopped and all the world become guilty before God a man has to acknowledge his guilty you see the New Covenant has nothing to say to the man who wants to continue into sin nothing the New Covenant completely is designed totally designed for a sinick soul who says I am tired of my sin I don't want to grieve the heart of God it's more than just getting to Heaven it's more than just getting rid of my guilt I know what the word says I know how holy my God is I want to be in communion with him I want to love him I want his power his authority in my life I want victory over my sin that's the man that's the woman who gets the New Covenant it's not written for anybody else nobody else will understand it God would rather have you go soberly to his throne confess your total inability to obey his Commandments acknowledge your absolute utter helplessness and tell God I Surrender I come as a dead man I come as a dead woman and all my strivings I have failed I come to you to trust you first now Lord accomplish these two things these two problems you've always had with men bring me now through it Lord I confess that I can't do it I confess that I want to be delivered from my sin now folks if you don't want Deliverance you're still not allowing the old comant to do its work you can get so hard hearing this word of God that's why the word comes that's why often even the law is preached in love only is air to get you to want to be free and to show you the exceeding sinfulness of the sin now if you're dead to any hope Ram I of doing it on your own now you're ready to hear about the New Covenant I want to talk to you about the blessing of the New Covenant the blessing of the New Covenant get you out of the old into the new remember what he said I'm going to make a new covenant with you a new agreement not like the old one made with your fathers this is a better covenant made on better promises read verse with me verses 25 and 26 third chapter of Acts talking about the blessing of the Covenant ye are the children of the prophets and of the Covenant which God made with our father saying unto Abraham and in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed now who is the Seed of Abraham Jesus Christ and all who believe in him he said the whole earth will be blessed by Christ he will be blessed now listen to the next verse unto you first God having raised up his son Jesus sent him to what bless you in turning away away every one of you from his iniquities listen to the words God having raised up his son sent him to bless you think of this sin bound man who the old covenants accomplished his work now he said I really want to be free I can't free myself one God is determined to set you free and he's made an oath to do it number two you can't do it yourself under your own strength and that's why he gave the old Covenant to prove it to you and number three he has promised to send the holy GH ghost to do in you everything he commands you to do this is the glory of the New Covenant this is the blessing the New Covenant everything God expects you God expects under the New Covenant perfect obedience absolute obedience Jesus Through the Holy Ghost was perfectly obedient to the heavenly father I'm not talking about siners perfection but I'm telling you that it's possible for the Holy Ghost to overcome and subdue your sins cross the Dominion of them what is the blessing to turn you from your iniquities folks all I have to do is believe my God has the resources the Holy Ghost has the power he's going to come oh we say it in so many words but can't you understand God made an oath he made a coven he cannot lie that has to grip our inner man this has to grip our very life and until the Holy Ghost makes that real until I begin to see it accomplished in my life even though there may be some times of failure in trying to yield to him it's just in the failure of yielding but until that happens the Holy Ghost is loving and patient and kind and he'll not cast you away in the process there's a step out of the old Covenant you can step out right now and say Pastor Dave I am tired what it is I am fed up I'm sick and tired of trying to do this on my own if you'll tell God that mean it and you convince yourself and come to this death there is a power of the Holy Ghost Hallelujah can overcome that besetting sin I Want to Be Free so that I can commune with the Lord and I want to be close to him I want to draw nigh to [Music] him
