Guest Speaker: Bob Yandian - September 30, 2021

[Music] all right there's the bell good morning karis bible college it's good to see your faces man there's nothing better than having first and second year together here in the auditorium man just the the energy the spirit of faith and uh it's it's tangible amen and so praise the lord so uh we do have a guest speaker scheduled for this morning and so they're just running a little bit behind so what we want to do is in the time that we have to give some opportunity for some of you who feel bold who would like to step out and share some takeaways from some of the courses that we've had in the first month here at keras we just want to hear what you've gotten out of it right so or what revelation you've received what nuggets uh or mcnuggets we have pastor rick over here you know he's the uh he's the original mcnugget and so but praise the lord guys so we want to give you an opportunity to step out so who has something that they've gotten something good something that's blessed them a revelation or an insight from the word of god from one of the courses that we've had in the first four weeks of school who'd like to come up and share come on up so tell us your name and tell us where you're from i'm ariel cortez and i'm from florida hey ariel yeah yeah and before i came up here well actually i came up here and i had no plans of like housing or anything but well we had it before but it fell through okay so my housing fell through i came up anyway and i was freaking out um because the first night we came up here was the healing conference and we didn't have a place to stay that night and during that day i i listened to just a random youtube video of i can't remember his name michael someone um and he it was a healing journey and from that video i j it just clicked it's already done the lord's already provided everything 2 000 years ago so so i was just like i was like on cloud nine before anything even happened in the natural i was just like like if we sleep in our car thank god it's not cold thank you lord [Music] so yeah um but um it was like 30 minutes before like they were about to kick us out and then um miss tanya i can't remember her last name but she works here she's awesome by the way guys tanya and kim they took me and my sister in um for the first two weeks and then we were able to get our place amen and we're looking for the place god told me not to look for a place and that felt really really weird like like not doing anything he said it was already done amen so i waited another week just keeping my nose in the word staying calm trusting the lord and my landlady contacted us and we we went to go see it it was perfect it was everything we wanted and more and it was like it was like half the price of anything i could have gotten in the springs up here it was amazing awesome praise the lord well thank you so much ariel [Music] and you know one of the things that we've been talking about in the overview hours that we have is how revelation is connected right so a lot of times we have a tendency to isolate truths from the word of god but you know it was a healing journey that you were listening to that the lord used to speak to you that gave you revelation in the area of prosperity and so the deeper the revelation the simpler the truth and the more revelation we receive from the lord the more we understand the truth is connected and that it's not many truths but it's one truth amen who else has something good they want to share come on up yes you and so let's so what we want to what we want to hear is we want to hear what you've gotten out of the courses from the first four weeks and so tell us your name and where you're from mindy mindy from florida mindy mindy from florida well looks like everyone's from florida this morning so praise the lord so mindy what have you gotten out of the first four weeks here at school well i mean every day is just mind-blowing and um there's just um the type and shadows are just remarkable um because you know you read the bible and you read the stories and and you get little nuggets here and there um but the things that i've read before in the past are just really coming alive and dwayne sheriff said something do you want me to just share i'm sure i and i noticed that everybody in the first you know hey i appreciate your boldness um i and i i heard throughout the whole congregate you know the congregation that every all of us were like um and then then some people i think i'm pretty sure that it like so many of the things that people are saying so quickly just go over our head so do you all remember when he shared about mary magdalene looking in the tomb wasn't that amazing um he she looked in the tomb she was crying she and she saw two angels in white sitting one at one head and the other at the feet where the body of jesus said lane and then he just quickly just said you know you know that's the type and shadow of the uh tabernacle but the ark of the testimony so i went back and read that in the ark of the testimony and it is so beautiful and every time i share with all of my family members who i'm just getting to one at a time i just cry so i'm gonna try to get through this let me just read it really quick exodus 25 18 and you shall make two cherubim of gold of hammered hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat it's called the mercy seat this was the tomb that jesus laid down and you know he was laid on the two angels that mary saw make one chair at one end and the other cherub at the other end you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of of it one piece with with the mercy seat and the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above covering the mercy seat with their wings and they shall face one another the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat wasn't that amazing when he shared that amen incredible okay awesome well thank you praise the lord that's awesome and we've heard a lot of good things about pastor dewayne's course and yeah it's just awesome praise the lord so who's next let's get a second year student young come on up so tell us your name tell us where you're from my name is young and i'm getting younger every day amen i'm originally from south korea but i came here via new jersey awesome don't hold that against me we won't okay so first years second year is a is a lot about public speaking and doing iags is that and so what we've learned in andrew's class is prepare yourself first you can't give away what you don't have to give and so keep it vertical with the lord and that's just been my entire focus in this season and i've been chewing on the ancient hebrew root for shalom which is represented in four pictures the first is sharp teeth meaning utterly annihilate destroy the second is shepherd's rod meaning all authority the third is tentpeg meaning attached to and the fourth is ocean meaning chaos so in order to walk in the peace of shalom allow the lord to destroy all authority attached to chaos in your life that's awesome right really good thank you young that was great prepare your heart prepare your heart and then you can save the world amen that's awesome you know andrew talks a lot about that prepare the messenger not the message and you know the big takeaway from that is that we minister and you've heard this and mike and kerry talk about this and you hear it quite a bit here at keras that we minister out of our overflow so you know it's only what flows over that's for other people right and we serve with our overflow that's really the goal behind it and so if we're doing anything less than ministering out of our overflow we're giving away what was meant for us in terms of revelation in terms of being full in terms of life amen and so you know the lord fills us up he feeds us he keeps us full but what fills the cup is for the nourishment of the cup what overflows is for serving others with amen and so that's why andrew i believe puts so much emphasis on preparing the messenger and not the message and he shares what's active and alive and what's ministered to him in his own life amen praise the lord who's next let's get another second year student let's get you sir i see that hand you had to raise it high it's good so tell us your name and tell us where you're from i'm judah i'm from florida so you have a lot of base in your voice brother florida anybody else out there awesome well judah what have you received in the first few weeks of school here the main revelation was from andrew's teaching how to get along with people and that was about he said turning people over to satan how we can't really do that anymore because we don't pray for him or we're not intimate so we already have turned them over so essentially from that i've been trying to pray more for my friends get them to pray more for people it's just being more intimate not so we can turn each other over to satan but just that we have that fellowship we have that intimacy you know because i want to see his church structure come back to a healthy place overall that's awesome brother thank you so much well guys it's a huge blessing to hear what you've gotten out of these uh first few weeks of school and so we do have pastor bob yandian with us so guys let's give him a very warm red hot karis bible college welcome if you feel inclined to stand you can stand amen thank you so much pastor bob for being here hello see am i on i'm good well i had it scheduled for tomorrow so is this friday no okay okay sorry about that i cut and pasted it but somehow i might have screwed it up i've been known to do that so once you pass 50 which was what 20 some odd years ago so anyway great to be here great class turn to matthew chapter 18. you can be blessed this morning amen i want to talk to you this morning about your currency in god's currency man's currency which fluctuates which we left the gold standard years ago which now it's all turning into digits the money in your pocket may not be worth anything one day but god's currency never changes never faces inflation god has never had a crisis in heaven over money jesus didn't go to the cross and god said wait another two or three years till i can save up some more money we can afford this matthew chapter 18 here we have a story in verse 23-34 the kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king which would take account of his servants the king is god and you are the servants so we're not talking here about god and unbelievers we're talking about god and you believers he goes on to say and when he had begun to wreck in order to calculate one was brought to him which owed him uh ten thousand talents you can mark off to the side if you can that's fifteen million dollars okay now what first thing you're thinking is that's gotta be salvation so he must be talking here to unbelievers if salvation costs if if salvation costs 15 million dollars there's people that could afford it no one can afford salvation it's up so high that there's not enough money in the world for jesus that all the money in the world could not purchase one soul so we're not talking here we're talking about if you in your life do something wrong then start excusing it god said let me tell you how important it is when you sin in your life how important that is to me and we often just push it off to the side and say oh it's okay but we don't seem to understand god wants you to acknowledge the fact that he not only saved you from sin he saved you from sinning thanks for the rousing amen god's called us to a life of holiness did you know god's goal for you is that you never sin these things right we under you that you sin not but if you do sin we have an advocate with the father thank god i have jesus amen as my great high priest and i can just walk into his presence and say i blew it he says yes you're fine and 15 million debt is immediately wiped out isn't jesus good thank you for that too so verse 25 but because he had not to pay you might as well underline that just say he couldn't pay he didn't have it because he could not pay his lord commanded him to be sold his wife his children all that he had and payment to be made now understand when jesus uses an analogy it's not that he's saying god is this way this is how it operates in society but we're going to draw points out of this of how god does it and so god will never ask you okay sell your wife sell your kids this is not the god we serve but this happened in the days when jesus was there this could happen if you owed a debt and didn't pay it it went on to say the servant fell down and worshipped him saying lord have patience with me and i will pay you all then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion and loosed and forgave him the debt isn't god good that if we just come before him admit we've done wrong he gets rid of a 15 million dollar debt and we all stuff for us to do is just worship in the glory of god and to thank him for his goodness he goes on to say but that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants which owed him a hundred pence that's fifteen 15 so your brother has done something against you and he owes you 15 and he laid his hands on him took him by the throat saying pay me what you owe so the fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him saying have patience with me and i will pay you all isn't that interesting that's exactly the words he used with the 15 million dollar debt now somebody's using the exact same words with a 15 debt he says and and he would not but when threw him into prison until he should pay all the debt that always struck me as strange how is the guy going to pay off a 15 debt when he's in prison oh well maybe that's the dumbness of some of us sometimes so when the fellow servants saw what had been done they were very grieved and came and told their master all that had been done then his master after he had called him said to him you wicked servant i forgave you all the debt because you begged me should not also you have had compassion on your fellow servant just as i had pity on you and his master was angry and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due him ephesians chapter 4 and verse 33 says this be kind one to another tenderhearted forgiving one another even as god in christ forgave you when you were a sinner you owed a debt that was bigger than the universe it couldn't be paid and the moment you accepted jesus as lord and savior that debt was immediately wiped away when you as a christian commit a sin whenever you're angry you say well you know i've never i've never you know committed adultery no no no jesus even said of the corinthians whereas there's among you envy strife and division if you've ever just been angry with somebody and then excuse me that's all right it was it was righteous anger no probably not it's something that you should have had check before this morning when rick called me and i was i told him i just got out of the shower he said you're supposed to do this today i said no it's tomorrow he's annoyed today i had little that i had a little that righteous anger rise up inside of me and i thought bob you dummy you should have looked on there you should have double checked triple checked or something like that and i didn't so it all comes back to this we all want to excuse ourselves for it does anybody ever talk to other drivers while you're driving you're driving down the street the guy's on the side over here you go no don't don't pull up don't you don't you dare don't don't go don't get in my lane don't you and oh yeah all right be tenderhearted having forgiving one another even as god in christ forgave you it comes back to this there's a heavenly currency in an earthly currency heavenly currency is worth more than earthly currency the blood of jesus is worth more than all the money on the face of the earth and one drop of jesus blood could never be purchased with all the money that's on the earth and this is what we're going to talk about we're going to talk about from what the word of god has to say the difference between earthly currency and heavenly currency first peter chapter 1 verses 18 and 19 says you know that you are not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold from your empty manner of life received by tradition from your fathers but with the precious blood of christ and simply saying here that he does that how much does he charge us for salvation nothing it's free now you know what free to us means cheap i go back you know people go back to my table and say what what all's free and well that's fine i understand that there's some people say why don't you happy if you honestly have nothing i just give it to you you know because after all you know that's what jesus does with us he just gives it to us so i'll do that you know when people say we i just don't have anything and so i'll give it to them otherwise you know but if a person comes up just looking for the cheapest thing on the table that indicates something in you that you're always looking for the cheapest thing and really on god on the other hand i like to think of it this way when jesus went to the cross god probably tried to figure out what could we charge because this is the most valuable thing in the universe and so he probably thought as high as he could have all the money in the world he says no no it's still not worth it it's there's not enough money and so i'm sure he must have had a council with the angels he must have had a council with the holy spirit he finally said this let's make it free and they probably said well that's cheap he says no no no when it comes to eternal thing that's the highest price i could put on anything is to have it free and yet we put it on the bottom of the scale and say oh that's cheap god says no you have no idea what it cost me to have my son go to the cross i couldn't put a dollar figure on it so i just simply said you can receive it by grace grace is really one of the highest currencies god has and so is the blood of the lord jesus christ isaiah 55 verse 1 says ho everyone that thirsts come to the water and he that has no money come and buy and eat and buy without price i love that he's simply saying there's not enough money you can't in fact listen to me to offer money for your salvation cheapens it what an insult to god to say look i've got a million dollars he said you're actually putting a price of a million dollars on my son's life how could you and so again with salvation it's still bought and went but it's bought without money there's two types of earthly currency there's money in its varied forms dollars yins and you know and and other things around the world you know that you can use for money but there's also working for exchange for a debt there's been times in history when somebody had no money at all but they were allowed to work it off and so they do uh community service or things like that and pay off a debt but in heaven neither one of those will work you cannot buy it with money and you certainly can't offer your works to try to work off your salvation there's not any amount of work that you can do to have it but in heaven there are two types of currency number one is the blood of jesus christ the blood of jesus christ is a heavenly currency for forgiveness of sins for the sinner and for the carnal christian if you want to know about carnal christians look look at first corinthians chapter three and there it lists what carnality really is it's when you're in control when the when uh your flesh controls you instead of the holy spirit the holy spirit who lives inside of you wants to control you but if you listen to your flesh the holy spirit still lives there but he just folds his arms and says okay i can't control you now until you get this thing right with god and when you come to god and just admit that you have sinned suddenly the flesh has no more control and the holy spirit's back in control notice again he said you're carnal there's carnal christians not carnal sinners carnal christians but a unbeliever is not even in the family and so again the two types of currency number one the currency of heaven is the blood of jesus christ and number two is the understanding of the word of god that's a currency that you can present before god and it purchases things i'm not talking about like a store but whenever you come to him with an understanding of the word of god the understanding of the word of god is you using the word of god in faith can bring into your life healing blessings finances by just taking the word of god and putting it in your mouth and trusting god in your heart let it come out of your mouth the word of god god sees it is the most expensive currency around next to the blood of jesus and still says there's not an earthly price you could put on one promise of god look at proverbs chapter 3. proverbs chapter 3 verse 13 happy is the man who finds wisdom and the man who gets understanding for the merchandise the hebrew word means profit the profit of it is better than the profit of silver and the gain of it than fine gold she is more precious than rubies and all the things that you can desire are not to be compared with her the same thing is said in chapter 8 verses 10 and 11 and it's repeated again that wisdom of the word of god put into your life and as jesus even pointed out in mark chapter 11 putting your heart and release to your mouth causes things to happen and profit begins to occur around you so that's the simplicity of it job 28 verses 13-19 i'm just going to capsulize this job 28 13-19 says this gold silver sapphires diamonds onyx jasper and rubies cannot be compared to the value of the wisdom of the word psalm 119 verse 72 the law of your mouth is better to me than ten thousand pieces of gold and silver can anybody vouch for it that one revelation that suddenly hits you you're driving down the road you're listening to andrew you know on a on a on a flash drive or something or you know or bob or you know you're listening to somebody rick on there and suddenly they say something and the revelation of that hits you how much would you pay for that there's not enough money in the world they could buy one revelation from god and god's simply saying there's something far above money in this earth and again heavenly currency is unlimited never increases or decreases in value as natural currency does i don't know if you know it right now but our nation is spending money we don't have they just keep printing it god never does that god never says i'll tell you what i'll give you i'll give you some bills and stuff and and i'm going to scramble around up here trying to make that up but that's not worth anything right now but just count it as if it is i want you understand god has more currency in heaven than you have problems and the whole world he had enough to redeem the whole world in heaven and has everything to back it and what backs him is his integrity he's never lied he's never cheated he's never done anything wrong he's never said to jesus that was a lie sitting on the throne of god it never will happen jesus never has run off with his secretary the holy spirit doesn't come and tell us something on the way back and says maybe i better repent for that because it wasn't true heaven is filled with integrity and when god said he has enough in heaven to handle every problem you've ever had supply all prosperity you will ever need he's really telling you the truth and you can bank on it and one revelation of that i'll never forget one time i was in a meeting with with and i i thought i understood righteousness and kenneth copeland i was just probably 20 21 years old kenneth copeland came to our church and explained righteousness this way he said in the old testament the high priest could go in once a year they had to be completely clean before god or if they walked in there they would be struck dead in the holy place he said i want you to understand something they were accounted righteous we are righteous but even accounted righteous they had to do certain things before they could walk in the presence and that was only once a year he said right now if we could take this entire group of people put us all into a time capsule and take all of us back and we are still the way we are right now and we went back there into the desert and right in front of the tabernacle and we all got out we can all walk into the holy of holies excuse me and push the priest aside grab the ark under our arm and walk out with it he said because it's just the righteousness of god meeting the righteousness of god man you think about that for just a moment and you begin to you get a revelation of that what kind of money could pay for that how much would you give to god for that revelation i never forgot it how many of we came out of denominational churches how many points are there to a sermon three points why do they have a three-point sermon oh come on take a wild guess why would they have a three-point sermon so you won't forget it how do you remember those three-point sermons not a hand went up those three-point sermons you don't remember anything about them yet they're designed to teach you something and you're supposed to remember their three points i've gone to churches lately and they put a lot of props on the platform that's okay if that really is what you're you're into but why do you put props on oh it helps them to remember it ask them about two years later what did what was the prop on the pla i don't remember what did it mean i don't remember but have you know this one revelation you have it for the rest of your life one revelation and that's what you can't pay money for that's what you cannot pay enough for god simply says i offer that to you without price because on top of that it's not cheap it's the most valuable thing i have the blood of jesus christ for believers forgiveness is currency above money first john 1 9 he's faithful and just to forgive us of our sins cleanse us from all unrighteousness and verse 7 before that says the blood of jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness when you sin and try to remove the sin and guilt by giving by good works by church involvement by attendance to church you pay with the wrong currency god doesn't accept it you cannot simply as a christian ask god to forgive you of something and offer money for it then you could as a sinner offer money for salvation both come back to the grace of god for salvation you simply believe in jesus accept him as your lord and every sin you've ever committed will commit is right there at that moment judged and forgiven but as a priest now that you become a priest if you do something wrong he says listen you're still going to heaven but as a priest i want you to come before your great high priest and take this one to him and he'll forgive it just as quick as he did all the sins you've ever committed and became a christian you see what is a christian if i do something wrong that doesn't keep me out of heaven it blocks my my fellowship with jesus and that's all that's written about i still have a relationship with him because the blood of jesus christ got it for me but what is it that in my daily life forgives me it's the same blood of jesus here's the simplest way to put it the bible declares there is the shedding and the sprinkling of blood for salvation and remission of sins it was the shedding of blood bowls of it but when i do something wrong it just takes a drop of it the sprinkling of blood but it still takes the blood of jesus and one drop of jesus blood no amount of earthly currency could ever buy it god operates on a totally different currency than you and i in this life but turn with me to job chapter 31 let me tell you what happens when you as a christian just like when you're a sinner i know what i'll do i've done something wrong i'll just go to church more i'll give a giant offering well let me ask you this how's that different from a sinner that thinks they can go to church and give big offerings and get to heaven you're paying with wrong currency does god appreciate when you give big offerings and come to church yes but that's when really you're clean before god and you're doing it because you love him you love people that's the right motive for it in fact there's even rewards for that in heaven so it comes back to it if you try to do that with god as a christian and you try to come back to god and tell him you know okay i'll go to church more i'll give more i'll get i'll get involved with the ushers and help people come into the church all that's good but that's the wrong currency you really can't pay i'm here to tell you the smallest thing you do in life that's against god you can't pay there's not enough money in this earth why if you have jealousy toward a brother or sister go straighten it out between you and them and the moments you do god said that's what i've been waiting for you to do it's immediately taken care of because you found the currency called forgiveness that god's been looking for and that's really what how you got saved was god forgave you and you became a child of god but that forgiveness should go on for the rest of your life how you can admit at least looking on your life that right now oh yeah you do things wrong but how do you commit you're a whole lot better than your work 10 years ago see i told you god's desires that you come to a place where you never sin again now i know all of us if i ever have you had raise your hand if you've arrived at that it'd be a lie to hold up your hand because we all still at times miss it every one of us we say why did i do that why did i say that lord i give it to you right now and i go on my way that's all it takes that's all he's looking for in fact the word for confession simply means to acknowledge it lord i blew it you don't even have to name it lord i did this ago i know i was there i saw it i heard it he knows he just wants you to admit it and that right there that simple thing is worth more than all the money on the earth because all the money on the earth could not even as a believer bring you back into simple fellowship with god so again you couldn't pay you can no more pay for your sins again as a believer than you could as a sinner and when you admit it the king releases you of a 15 million dollar debt all right look at job 31 verses 9 and 10. let's bring it into our everyday life and some of you might be saying yeah but i don't think christians sin you haven't pastored you haven't had to deal with people you haven't had to have counseling sessions with people sometimes i mean i honestly there was a man that came he and his wife they were having marriage problems and what he said to me was as he was in his cocky way and she was crying he said she doesn't give me good sex so the holy spirit brought this other woman into my life you say christians don't say things like that i'd love to have had you sit beside me and hear some of these things and he went on about how the i'd actually let him talk till the end i said aren't you special he said what do you mean i said god threw away the whole bible just for you but to think somebody would have that kind of gall of that kind of nerve but yet you run into them in the christian world and honestly it's getting worse out there christians do things that sometimes with you why would you do that because they don't know the word they don't really know how to operate in god's will they don't know the debt that jesus paid that they can't pay and they think anything they've done wrong is just god's going to somehow bypass it well he did in the old testament but when jesus went to the cross the moment we confess it all that's been given to us as christians but what god wants us to do is walk before him as good christians not just christians he wants us to be good children not bad children how do you can admit today that you have more than one child can i see your head how do you admit you love them all the same but how he can admit you like one better than another okay thank you for that oh come on don't look at me like that you know why you like one you know why you like one more than the other because the one that you like the most honestly you tell me they've done something wrong they burst into tears oh i'm so sorry i'm so sorry they're so submissive they want to do anything they can to please you the other one you look at them and they just look at you and you look at them they look at you i can tell you my two kids were that way my daughter i would just look at her and she'd burst into tears i mean i don't think we ever spanked her there was no reason to i mean just by looking to her face was a spanking as far as she was concerned my son rode the edge all the time how far he could push everything and yeah we admit we loved him both but there's times i think man i mean yeah i'd look at him and look at my wife and say are you sure this is our son but again here we have jo i said i was going to job 31 take a look with me at verses 9 and 10. job 31 verses 9 and 10. if my heart has been deceived by a woman or i have laid weight at my neighbor's door now job was a believer but he's looking at this and says if my heart has been deceived by a woman or if i've laid weight at my neighbor's door oh i've got an answer let my wife grind unto another and let others bow down on her oh what a great answer oh i committed adultery with the man's woman with the man's wife next door i know i'll just give him my wife and it'll all be even no you've just doubled the problem how is that going to settle anything this is what it's like to try to pay off your sins with money it's an insult to god let's go on to proverbs chapter 6. proverbs chapter 6 and some of you might be saying yeah but i don't think christians have affairs let's go on job 31 verses 9 and 10. if my heart has been deceived by a woman or if i have laid weight at my neighbor's door then let my wife grind unto another let others bow down upon her that's the one i just read yeah that's the one i just read look at proverbs 6 proverbs 6. take a look at verse 27 can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned this is saying whenever sexual lust burns on the inside understand it's going to come to the outside if you don't handle it now sexual drive has been found in all of us but if you let it out and you don't take care of it it'll eventually get to the outside your clothes will catch on fire can what can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be burned oh i know i can just i can just you know do it real quick and it's all over that's like running across hot coals and your feet won't get burned no they're going to get burned verse 29 so he who goes to his neighbor's wife whoever touches her will not be innocent men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his soul when he is hungry but if he is found he will restore it sevenfold and give all the substance of his house this verse simply says if a man is so desperate and has no food at all and he goes and steals a loaf of bread and is caught he can pay it back seven fold he can eventually down the road pay back seven loaves of bread and when he does it's forgotten and it's over but if you try to do that with sex adultery or something like that it's never over because you understand something you can pay for a loaf of bread but how do you pay back a man for taking his wife money throws insult at it money cheapens it and he goes on to say look what goes on to say verse 32 but whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding underlying that that just says you're stupid you're stupid he who commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding is stupid he who does it destroys his own soul not your spirit your soul your thinking is all wrong a wound in dishonor he will get and his reproach will not be wiped away for jealousy is the rage of a man that's her husband when he finds out for jealousy is the rage of a man so that he will not spare in the day of vengeance he will not regard any ransom neither will he rest content though you give many gifts again what we have here is you're demanding something that you cannot pay and whatever you do if you have adultery with a woman or as a woman you have adultery with a man and you then come back and try to solve the whole thing over by coming and offering money or saying other things whatever we can do it cheapens the whole thing it simply says that when you commit adultery with a woman or adultery with a man and it comes right down to it if you try to do earthly natural things to solve the thing over you're paying with money that god doesn't honor or people don't know there's certain things in life money cannot pay back there's honor in marriage there's honor and other things and when you break that covenant then it simply says on here it can't be paid back with earthly currency uh andrew and i have a friend and that what time is this over is it tin till tintel yeah tin tail okay andrew and i have a friend it's a minister and uh literally he was starting a church and he was out in his front yard one day and this church that he started was in the in uh you know it was doing good this guy can take ashes and make something out of it almost like the phoenix you know he can take a terrible situation and make a great church out of it but he was raised in a very legalistic background and so everything he did wrong you were headed toward hell and so he watched everything that he did but he and his wife had to rent a home in a not so good part of town because that's all they could afford at the time he just got out of bible school every morning he had to get up to the front yard and pick up liquor bottles from all the kids driving around throwing it out the windows he said used condoms were thrown into his yard stuff like this all over the place he said it was terrible he had to go out every morning clean that up because all night long in fact he kept him up honking horns yelling screaming and all that he went out and cleaned it up every morning and then one morning he was picking up all this stuff and there was a pornography book that was laying there he flipped through it and saw some of the pictures tossed in the trash can they said 10 minutes later i was out there digging that thing out of the trash can i couldn't get those pictures out of my mind he said he thought about it and thought about it and then one day he decided he was going to go do it and he planned the whole thing he told his secretary of the church i'm going to go out and visit people in the hospital he'd be gone for a couple of hours and go to that into town and got into you know sexual things and more women more than one woman at a time i mean he describes he gets into into great detail about it and this went on for two years he had it so well planned his wife didn't know his kids didn't know the church didn't know his secretary didn't know no one knew but god knew he got so convicted and the holy spirit was dealing with him so much and finally he decided there's nothing i can do i don't want to destroy my marriage i don't want my wife to i don't want the church to know i'll just kill myself so he drove up in the church parking lot with a gun loaded and while he was in the church parking lot he didn't know it but they were having praise and worship practice in the church and when the praise and worship leader screamed and said something's wrong with the pastor we got to pray for him right now and she hit her knees everybody hit their knees and started praying he took the gun and pulled it to his head pulled the trigger and it wouldn't fire he pointed out the window and it would fire but he put it back to his head and it wouldn't fire and he realized god was in this thing so he went home late at night and got his wife out of bed and told her everything she burst into tears she had no idea she was crying and everything she said what are we going to do first of all i'm going to quit the church he went back and called all of his ushers at this early time in the morning and had an emergency meeting at the church told them everything they were so shocked no one knew he told his secretary she was so shocked he said i'm quitting the church i am not fit to be your pastor and so anyway he and his wife packed up his wife stayed with him and he had little children and he went up to chicago and he sold vacuum cleaners door-to-door and just sat on the back row of a church the pastor noticed him one day and caught and went after church and met him said i've seen you here in church what's your story so he just bared the whole story with him he said i want to help you and the church is here to help you first of all you got to get it right with god go to the lord and just confess this thing bring it out he said okay so he did he just got on he said first of all i want you to understand he said the lord forgave it whether people have forgiven it or not god forgave it he said you're on the right state he says it wasn't people that put you in the ministry god put you in the ministry and god still has a call on your life because it's without repentance and so he helped him get back right and charisma magazine found out about him and had me start doing a monthly article on how to restore fallen ministers and his life changed i mean his family and all that things changed and after that he took another church he didn't want to but everybody i mean he felt right about even felt led of the lord to do it fought all these natural thoughts and one woman in this second church he went to start growing immensely the church was growing looked him up on the internet and found out his past and she had something against the church wanted to sue the church so she seduced him and he did it again did it again and she took all the receipts from the hotel and brought it to and the meals and stuff and brought it to the board and sued the church and so he quit again this time he moved to colorado springs and was selling water big bottles of water to to businesses and stuff his kids left him his wife stuck with him again and this time the second time you know he said i'll never get back in ministry again and so but finally this time he got things right he began to listen to andrew's teaching things like this again he and andrew became friends i was friends with him all this was going on and finally he took another church in texas and this time everything has gone incredibly well in fact the first thing he did after he took the church they were having a dedication service he told his story to the entire church he said i want you know who you're getting for your pastor because he said i could be up here you can google me and find all this stuff on it's already on there it's all over the internet and it's gonna be there forever he said i'm so glad jesus wiped it out but you know the internet still has it he told the story at the end of the sermon he said and they must have had about three thousand in the service that day he said around fifteen hundred to two thousand came down the front crying because they had been in the same situation and his story helped them it was the fact that he was looking for people who'd done the same thing it's just that people had carried this stuff and they didn't know how to pay and they were trying to pay with a currency that god doesn't accept he only accepts forgiveness and the blood of the lord jesus christ and once you're back in fellowship with him the other currency that he will accept is the word of the lord jesus christ now there may be some of you here today and i want you to understand something but how is the debt paid you can't pay it i'ma say it again you can't pay it there may be some husbands in here that your wife's went out on you committed adultery and she's begged to ask you but you can't forgive you so i can't forgive her why she owes me i know she owes you i understand she owes you you don't understand she can't pay and yet you keep demanding and demanding pay and she can't do it or the vote by the way around the husband committed adultery and the wife is sitting here today you've been demanding and demanding and this is what happened in this one man's life his wife of this the second time he did it he said i had a cell phone and she would contact me every 30 minutes where are you this went on for days months and years he said he said this time somebody stay in the grocery store and the phone will ring she said why are you says on the potato chip aisle to the right of it is salsa and down i can look a little further there's there's you know peanut butter down there and she said okay what aisle is it he looked up said aisle seven she said okay and she tracked his car i mean she did everything because there was no trust there she kept waiting for it to be long enough for it to be paid for and one day after a couple of years he said to her when will this ever be paid for and she stopped and thought never this will go on forever you could never pay it back and that's when she forgave him told him i won't contact you again i'm gonna put my trust back into you i'm here to tell you if you're here today and your husband or your wife has committed adultery or something along that line of your best friend you don't want a relationship with them but you keep saying they owe me i know they owe you no you don't understand pastor bob they i know they owe you you don't understand they can't pay then how's this thing ever going to get paid back jesus paid it on the cross and it's in heaven in an account and the moment you forgive them it's transferred from heaven into your account and the bill is paid off once and for all that's how it does maybe you were abused growing up sexually abused by a stepfather or uncle or a grandfather whatever and all these years you've been saying they owe me they owe me yes they do owe you it's true i agree completely they owe you but they can't pay the only thing that can happen is you've got to forgive them from the depths of your heart and honestly forgive them at that moment what jesus did on the cross is transferred to your account and it is paid for once and for all and you can walk off in freedom here's another thing if you don't forgive them they control your life and they don't even know it you can't quit thinking about but there finally comes a day when you're totally set free from it i think of joyce meyer she had to come to a day where she honestly forgave her father for all the things sexual things he did to her and she said i realized that one day all these years i keep thinking about he's controlling me and he doesn't even know it she forgave him and was set free from that point on and she even went and witnessed to him and before he'd i'm not sure he ever accepted the lord i think he did everybody remember hearing your story he did accept the lord did he what a wonderful testimony but the moment she did that the whole thing was forgiven and she was free to accomplish the ministry she had it all comes back to the blood of jesus christ and whenever he had bowed in every eye closed husbands and wives join hands this may be true of you i'm not going to ask you there's no way i'm going to ask you to raise your hand or show anything but you guys know it and there honestly has to be in this place today where one looks at the other says i honestly from the depths of my heart forgive you and from this point on it is over it is paid for i will not bring it up again we are starting fresh today because i've been asking you to pay it back and i know something now you could never have paid it back this could not be purchased with with earthly currency it can only be paid for with the blood of the lord jesus christ and right now it is paid for and then i want you to pray together and realize when you walk out of here together you're starting afresh and anew the past is over god has thrown it into the sea of forgetfulness it will never be remembered again father i thank you for your presence here today i thank you first of all for the blood of the lord jesus christ that wipes away and cleanses us from all sin but i thank you for the word of god also that we can use because the power of every promise is so is so rich and the worth of every promise is so rich and i give you praise and honor today thank you for this group of people and father i thank you so much to be walking out of here today with a whole new lease on life because whatever transgression there was has been paid for eternally by the blood of the lord jesus christ amen how about that you want to say anything of deliverance from [Applause] [Music]
