Joseph Prince: Find Your Redemption in God's Grace! | Praise on TBN

God's righteous eyes saw your sins and my sins born in the body of Jesus and God who is Holy tries holy cannot punish us today for the sins that he punished Jesus for it's called The Law of Double Jeopardy the same crime the same sin cannot be punished twice in the body of my shity and substitute then in my body God will be Unholy if God did that God will be unjust if God did that so I'm telling you friends God's holiness today is on our side just like Israel put the on the blood the blood on the doorpost that night God's holiness was now on their side because the blood has been shed do you understand today God's holiness is on your side demanding your equal demanding your justification demanding your forgiveness God's righteousness is on your side how you all doing amen we all have the same heavenly father and best of all we also have the same mother Grace amen so smile your neighbor turn around and says are you my brother or are you a brother from another mother go [Applause] ahead if you don't understand what all that is about remember the story of Abraham and his two sons ishmail and Isaac and the Bible tells us in Galatians 4 all right the typology is there in Galatians 4 ishmail was born of another woman and that woman is a type of Mount Si all right a type of the law and the Bible says it produces bondage but we are the children of the free we as Isaac was are the children of Sarah Grace amen so Isaac and ishmail shares the same heavenly father but not the same Mama amen and and the amazing thing the Bible says was that the son that was born of the law mother mother law persecuted the one who was born of Grace it is never the other way around H it's still going on but you know what What Sarah Said cast out that born Woman cast her out the whole system cast it out for the son of the born woman shall not be air with my son she said and God told Abraham hearken to her voice God was behind it amen God does not want mixture are you listening in fact Jesus said it like this I would you were hot or cold can you imagine I understand the hot part I mean you fire for Jesus man hot you know what I'm saying but cold I rather you were hot I rather you were cold that part I don't understand Co means what you are you're not doing your Bible study you're not praying you're not that's coal isn't it but when you see this as two covenants he says I rather you are under grace or else be completely under law because if you are under law it will drive you to your knees to see the importance of Grace but what I can't stand is lukewarm a mixture I I feel like vomiting I feel like throwing that out of my being Jesus said I feel like spewing it out of my mouth did you read that before so Jesus says you cannot put new wine into old wine skin there's no compromise for Law and Grace uh Pastor Prince I believe in grace but you know something we need the law all right there's no place for mixture are you listening people when I was flying down on my way here here to the states uh up there thousands of miles in the air God spoke to me about Joel's Ministry and and I have a word from the Lord for you and I told him last night that I'm going to share it in the service and for the first time I began to see John 3 and John 4 in just the position side by side John 3 is about Nicodemus who came to Jesus by night John 4 is about the Samaritan woman at the well and the Lord said that so so many people and by that I mean people who know their Bibles those who are theologians and all that they they want to fit us into their mole they want to put Joel into the mole in John 3 you have a scholar Jesus called him a master of Israel Nicodemus he arre a master of Israel Jesus said I mean he was a not just a Pharisee but a Pharisee a Pharisee a master a master Rabbi whereas the woman was I mean her only accomplishment is that she had five husbands but the amazing thing is that we all want that lingo you know that is the theological lingo you must be born again well Jesus only said you must be born again to Nicodemus he never said you must be born again to the woman at the well another thing is this to Nicodemus Jesus spoke spoke the language of the Old Testament because Jesus knew he knew his Bible he would talk about how the Son of God will be lifted on the cross the way Moses raised up the serpent in the wilderness because Jesus knew he was talking to a Master Rabbi but to the woman he talk about the water that was in front of her he used what was in front of her he used practical illustrations and in essence he was telling her in a very tactful with Divine skillfulness he's telling her you're drinking from all the wrong well when you drink from this well even it's not going to satisfy you but if you knew woman who is the one that's speaking to you you would ask him and he will give you living water amen when you think about it he never used the word you must be born again with her it's not even an Old Testament illustration it was just practical illustration that's Joel's Ministry and I love it because the the Bible says about the ministry of Jesus that the Common People heard him gladly you can always tell a Ministry is of Christ when he Bears the same characteristic all right number one the Common People heard him gladly number two the theologians of Jesus time weren't too happy with him they knew their Bibles but they didn't knew the author who was standing in front of them amen I am the same I can understand understand why people don't love me the way they should because it's darn easy to love me I'm I Joe I understand but me come on you know we heard from Joe's mouth today that uh maybe it's the fact that I'm better looking than him but we share the same Ministry we have all kinds of testimonies coming in of people's lives transform for the glory of God Amen now the thing is this we're not hiding our by the way that woman was the only one that Jesus revealed himself to besides the blind man that was healed she was the only one that Jesus revealed himself as the Messiah not to Nicodemus but to the woman she she said you know I know when that when the Messiah comes he will tell us all things Jesus looked at her and said I who speak unto you I am he if you look at your Bibles the he is in italics it's not in the original in other words this the way he spoke to her I who speak unto you I am I am that's the name of God the god of the burning bush so you think about it that woman received much more than niik ever did h it is so pre our lord Jesus you know he is Holy oh he is Trice holy all right but his Holiness is such that he can move among the social outcasts they could touch him and not defile him in fact when they touch him they got what he got he never got what they got you know we have a brand of Christianity is like almost like don't touch don't mix with the world don't we saw what worldliness was last night worldliness in first John is do not love the world nor the things that are in the world if anyone love the world what's God's diagnosis if anyone love the world the love of the father is not in him not the love for the father it's not saying that people who love the world don't love the father enough no it's saying that people who love the world they don't understand how much the father loves them if they understand how much the father loves them they will not love the world hey pastors and leaders this a solution to our worldliness in the pews unveil the love of the father and yet there is this it's almost like there is this thing about you know Grace and hope that's wonderful Aman it's basic but it's wonderful we know that that's how Nicodemus answered Jesus you know his first two words to Jesus he came at night and there's a reason he came at night he didn't want his peers to see him but he was hungry he was thirsting for the truth that will set him free so he came to Jesus At Night his first two words were we know you know when you meet people who are Orthodox and Theological and all that their first words is always this all right you can't teach them anything they'll say we know we know Grace is from God Aman but okay and Nicodemus told Jesus we know you're a teacher come from God and Jesus went through all that and says You must be born again imagine telling a man all right who is well studied he's a master rabbi of Israel telling him everything about you needs to be born again but he never stayed that to the woman at the well who had five husbands and the one that she was living with was wasn't her husband and that she was living in adultery and Jesus treated her with courtesy in fact he has what I call the Divine sandwich he complimented her first told her about her sin and then he sandwiched with another compliment he says go call your husband here she says I have no husband you look at her the first compliment you have rightly said you have no husband bang for you have had five husbands here comes the Revelation then in that you have rightly said bang another isn't it wonderful the way the Lord reaches out to people now why is it that he he need to reveal her sin because the thing is this if he did not reveal her sin and made her aware that he's well aware of her all right she was will never feel loved when the lord loves her because she thinks that he doesn't know about this part of my life yeah he loves me but I don't feel loved because he doesn't really know me but when the Lord reveals about your sins and he reveals to you that he knows everything about you and he still loves you look he's talking to her at the well you know why you know why the Lord is so strong I asked the Lord one time I said why are you so strong on hypocrisy and the Lord says because I love people one thing I can't stand is hypocrisy because and you see how strong he is against hypocrisy because hypocrisy is is trying to be someone that you are not if you try to be someone you are not even on your first date you know you try to be someone you are not okay even if the person falls in love with you you will never feel loved that's because you're not sure that the person loves you somewhere along the way in that relationship you must be yourself yeah let it all out you know just be yourself no I'm just your best self your best life and your best self amen but the thing is this when when you know that a person knows all about you and still loves you then you feel loved so the Lord was bringing that lady to this experience that he knows everything about her and he loves her now think about that all right she was so excited that he was the Messiah she left the pale of water who needs a K when you have a well on the inside springing up to everlasting life she left everything and she went to the city now watch this she came she came by herself to the well all right in the noon time most women would go collect the water in the morning when it's cool in Israel all right but the weather is really hot in Israel in the noon time but she went at noon time because she didn't want the gossipers to be there all right she's she's ostracized she's alienated but here she after she met Jesus look at this this introvert woman all right she left everything went to the city and told the entire city come see a man who told me everything about me she became an evangelist meanwhile Jesus disciples who went to buy lunch they came back with their McDonald's and you know whatnot and and they look at Jesus we brought food Lord and the Lord says you know what I have food to eat you do not know of and he looked refreshed when they left him Jesus in his manhood all right he was tired sitting at the well when they left him now when they came back they saw him reinvigorated he was strong he was like I have food to eat do not off you know what happened a sinner came and took from him whenever you come and take from Jesus all right it's as if he's reinvigorated you know man takes from man all right both of them you know faint you know what I'm saying if it the one being drawn upon but the Lord is different it's almost as if the more you take from him the stronger he is you see the essence of Grace is Supply the essence of the law is demand which are you living under are you demand minded or are you supply oriented when you face this week do you face this week with trapid maybe there's a challenge you have to stand for a group to share or your boss wants you to do something whatever it is do you face it with demands on me you'll be stressed you'll be depressed but if you look forward and say the supply will be there the supply will be there you are Supply minded how you understand that Grace is Supply law is demand God demanded from man you shall not kill you shall not you shall not Grace he supplied righteousness for men to receive amen amen so Jesus at the well even in his tiredness there was a fullness beyond that human that human tiredness to be drawn upon and if somebody draws upon it he is reinvigorated so you know what David says what shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits to me I will take the cup of Salvation the way you say thanks to the Lord is to take some more from him he loves for you to take amen take some more from him but Pastor Prince you know the Bible says it's more blessed to give than to receive yes when it comes to horizontally all right like this men to man it's more blessed to give than to receive when it comes to you and God vertically it's more blessed to receive than to give for God will always have the more blessed position of the blesser without all contradiction the less is blessed by the better are you with me people amen so the the greatest givers in the church are the greatest receivers the greatest servers are the greatest re reers amen the more you receive the more you give so when it comes to the Lord don't try to give to him take from him amen he wants you to take from him you know the the most frequent used indictment that the Lord used on his disciples you know what is it when he corrects them he always say oh you of little faith oh you of little faith it is never oh you of little holiness oh you of little learning oh you of little fasting I can tell it is always ow you of little faith and you know what's faith when you understand what is Faith even his indictments are encouragements little faith means he corrects them always oh you of little faith you know what little faith means faith is the hand that takes he's saying to them why do you take from me so little why do you trust me so little I am God incarnate there is a fullness that's inexhaustible come take from me why do you take so little oh you of little faith take take take and please me the lord loves for you to come to him and take no Lord just take half the burden Lord I'll carry the rest you have too much on your hand Lord I'll just take half I can manage this one what an insult amen don't just pray for a job pray for a position amen do you know that in the Old Testament in in Hebrew among the among the Jewish people in the Old Testament you cannot find the word husband you cannot find the word wife all right there are husbands there are wives you must see the context whether it is a woman or is is a wife because they see they use the same word for a man is Ish for a woman it's Isa all right so in the in the Jewish uh vernacular they God has programmed that the word husband and wife is not there now marriage is there of course husband and wife is there we understand that but they don't call each other husband and wife they call each other my man and my woman now there's something powerful here God understands the psych psychological makeup of men sometimes men after they get married after a few years wife woman how understand what I'm talking about so God wants you to look at your wife and say woman she will always be a woman is it is it okay is it kosher in this church to be so open with all of you some of you are looking at me with a Nicodemus kind of [Applause] look it is amazing that when we start thinking about holiness God is always holy but Jesus could move among the sinful people all right a leper came to him under law you touch a leper the unclean will make you unclean will make the clean unclean Jesus came down the mountain and there came a leper to him and he says Lord if you're willing you can make me well he never doubt his ability he doubted Jesus's willingness and once and for all Jesus settle it listen Jesus says and he's the same yesterday today and forever if you are SI you say I know God is able will he he says I am willing not only he says I am willing he touched the leper we do not know for how long he has been without human touch he was probably a married man with children who was probably grown now he's been without human touch for the longest time I love the way the Lord not only forgives the way he forgives carrying that sheep on his shoulders the father running to meet the prodal it's not just the ACT it's the style of the act that that really warms my heart he frankly forgives freely forgives are you listening and Jesus touched the man and he says I will be clean and immediately his leprosy was cleansed now this time under grace the clean makes the unclean clean you see under law sin is contagious under grace Holiness is contagious health is contagious come on we got to preach to our children don't be afraid of the world go out there and contaminate them with the grace the love and the power of God hallelujah amen now there are those who they look at Hope Grace love and they say that this messages you know is people out there you know they don't understand God's holiness which is a deep subject you know Grace is basic mhm hope yeah a lot of people go for grace and hope and love you know but after we have know we know these ABCs it's time for us to go to Holiness you ever heard that preach now yesterday I shared that God put Israel when Israel was a nepios in the Greek an infant in the book of Galatians they were put under the law when the fullness of time came God sent his son to redeem them who were under the law to give them not nepos but huos sunship when Israel was a baby God put them under law when when Jesus came God put all those who believe in him under sunship now what does that tell you that tells you law is basic Grace is maturity when Christ came he brought full maturity amen you know when when my kids were young and their friends come over to the house I mean they they don't know any better sometime they'll play in the kitchen and I'll go to them and tell them don't touch the kitchen knives don't touch the stove now when adults come to my house I don't tell the adults don't play with the kitchen knives why they're adults so rules and regulations are for babies are you listening people so the Bible says in Hebrews 5 he that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness that means the one who is a baby Christian doesn't understand righteousness he's unskillful in that terminology in that word that righteousness right now if I ask you what is righteousness well righteousness is you know you do things right everything is lined up according to God I mean you are you you have your act all together think that shows you a baby Christian you know a mature Christian or someone who who Who's win from milk is someone who understands righteousness in the god gospel righteousness in the New Testament is a gift it's a gift that's paid for by Jesus so if you don't understand the word righteousness you are unskillful in that word of righteousness and you are you are you are confounding the message you are telling people who are righteous by the blood you've got to be righteous amen just like the devil telling Eve and Adam all right you must be like God when they were already like God so the more they tried to be like like God they fall from grace the after you are righteous as a gift God gives you the gift of righteousness the more you try to be righteous after that you fall from grace so the best thing is just stop and say father I thank you I'm the righteousness of God in Christ I shared in the earlier service there was a young man who wrote To Me From New York he's now in his 20s but ever since he was 13 years old he was bound to pornography and he'll watch it almost every day and he says this and Pastor Prince as a as a artist you know I'm highly disciplined and I use all my discipline as a Christian to try to overcome this bad habit but I couldn't overcome it it's an addiction but when I heard your message that when you sin confess I am the righteousness of God in Christ confess that you are still righteous in Christ amen don't just do nothing confess it he says that every time I would indulge I'll be confessing I'm the righteousness of God in Christ he says well Pastor I'm here to tell you that more than a year has passed and I have not watched pornograph ever since now it didn't happen immediately it didn't happen overnight but I have so many testimonies of people who are bound to drugs addicted to to uhh uh cigarettes all right and and all kinds of bad habits okay Eating Disorders while they are indulging while they are doing it I teach them confess I am the righteousness of God in Christ they'll still do it might confess it and when they're confessing the devil will say you are hypocrite how how can you confess that but the Bible says when you receive the gift of righteousness you will reign in life and when you reign in life your addictions don't when you reign in life that evil habit doesn't when you reign in life the devil doesn't because you are reigning you are reigning over all this are you listening people righteousness is the revelation of the Gospel we have forgotten that the gospel is the righteousness by faith so when we hear things like people are saying America need needs to turn back to righteousness I understand that terminology and I appreciate the well-intentioned you know uh uh uh motives that people have all right in in in proclaiming that I believe that a lot of people who are proclaiming that are good people their heart is definitely in the right place but however what they mean usually is this stop the wrong and do the right and America will be all right that's not the answer or else Jesus may not come they already have the law if we can stop the the wrong and do the right all right we won't need Jesus that's what the law has been teaching no friend but if we mean America needs to turn back to the gift of righteousness and understand what the gospel is all about there is hope I'm telling you all right America will turn around don't forget your founding fathers they are not people who just stopped the wrong and do the right they were people who believe in the name of Jesus Christ and they were not ashamed of it it's in the con ution they are open about it they are all believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ they proclaim the gospel openly amen they were Believers right believing produces right living it produce leadership of Integrity leadership of Excellence but we want this result without believing the gospel so we just say just be integrous just be honest we are talking about results when God is talking about the root that that produces the fruits you see in Galatians 5 the Apostle Paul talks about the fruit of the spirit and we all want our people to have the fruit of the spirit amen we want our children to be flowing in the fruit of the spirit love joy peace gentleness goodness Faith meekness self-control even self-control is the fruit of the spirit but don't forget that Galatians 5 the fruit of the spirit that least appears in Galatians chapter 5 but Galatians 1 2 chapter three four Paul talks about law and Grace law and Grace law and Grace then he says if you are under grace this is the fruit if you are under law these are the works I find it very interesting that it's called The Works of the flesh not the fruit of the flesh whereas the spirit is the fruit of the spirit you know why because works is the result of effort fruit is the result of life so when Israel put themselves under the law and they said all that God commands us we will do it we can do it it sounds Noble but it is self-righteousness the next thing you see golden calf they broke the very first commandment but first they went into the works of the flesh we can do it without God God from now on don't don't bless us because of your grace I know you brought us to the Red Sea because of your grace we know I know we don't deserve it but you you did it for us you brought us through the uh uh uh you know brought us Mana from Heaven because of your grace but not from now on Lord bless us because we deserve it give us laws all that you command us and they haven't even heard the Ten Commandments yet all that you command us we can do it bring it on the very next thing you see the golden calf are you listening people because the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 15 the strength of sin is the law it is not Grace Grace is the antidote amen so when it comes to the law somehow the devil has hotwing us to think that Grace Hope joy peace is basic but Holiness am man you got to have that tone even hey God is Holy Holy Holy now God is Holy friends listen he's tries holy so is Christ when he walked among the Sinners but he was approachable the Pharisees didn't like it they wanted God confined in the holy of holies away from the people so that the people will have to go through more the people have to go through them they didn't like the fact that Jesus made God so accessible now what do you think God's heart is for you to know him in his Holiness God is Holy is Jesus holy when he walk on oh yes in you know Peter Paul and John in Paul's letter Paul is a man of intelligence Paul says in Christ knew no sin John is the person of the heart he says in Christ is no sin Peter is a man of action he says Jesus did no sin so everywhere you look at Jesus he's sinless are you listening but is that how he wants us to know him as a tri holy God if that's so that woman in the issue of blood will never have touched his the ham of His Garment because by Jewish law she can be stoned to death amen no one can approach Jesus not even the leper if all they see is his Holiness let me ask you a question all right just answer from your heart you know all the stories you read in the Bible and people that you know of when an angel appears not even god let's say an angel appears to them what's their first response they fall on their knees and they say what depart from me I'm a sinful man I'm going to die I've seen God right what are they conscious of does anyone fall to the feet and say thy loving kindness is better than life Lord does anyone do that no even the people in the Bible when when the Lord appears or even a Heavenly being like an angel appears to them their first reaction is depart from [Music] me oh we're going to die like manoah Samson's father we'll die we are going to die because we saw God we told his wife in other words all of them are conscious you don't have to teach people God's holiness all of them are conscious instinctively conscious that God is Holy what you need to teach people is his love his grace the hope that he produces his peace that he wants to give you that takes the Holy Spirit you see if the law is deep almost every religion has Law therefore they have the Holy Spirit or do they every religion teaches law but it takes the Holy Spirit to teach you Grace to understand when you do good you get good when you do bad you get bad anyone understands that but to tell someone you can receive good you don't deserve because another took all the bad that you deserve that takes the holy spirit that takes Divine skill to impart to preach to teach don't you dare say that this is deep and that is shallow that is basic do you remember Peter when Peter um okay let's let's go to Peter when he first one of the first times he met Jesus of course it was his brother Andrew they introduced uh Jesus all right to Peter remember that that's the first encounter Peter head of Jesus but for some reason he left the Lord went back fishing and he was fishing and caught nothing the whole night Jesus was preaching and Jesus went into his boat how many you know that when he allows you to give to him he's setting you up for a blessing when the Lord comes to you and tells you to give whether it's your boat or whatever he's setting you up of all the people he's setting you up so you you know what happened all right he caught a net breaking boat sinking load of fishes until the boat began to sink he had to call for help I love that kind of blessing amen don't you then all of a sudden Peter look around it was his one of his first Encounters of Jesus he look at Jesus say depart from me I'm a sinful man no one had a tiing there so one of the first encounters with Jesus was which aspect of Jesus was he conscious of his love or his Holiness his Holiness depart from me for I'm a sinful man it was the sense of his Holiness are you with me so far three and a half years pass he walked with Jesus he has grown some all right but there is still the aspect of self-righteousness on the night of the Passover he said to Jesus even if all these disciples and he said to their faces I mean he said it to their faces they were there if even if all this forsake you I Peter will never forsake you and where you go I follow I follow you'll always be my true love my true love from now until forever EO and Jesus says Peter before the rooster crows this morning you'll deny knowing me three times he says no way man no way I'll do that well he was way and you know how way he was he he he denied knowing Jesus Jesus a few hours later with cursing and swearing in fact I like Luke's account it says that the rooster croe and Jesus was all bound in the high priest's Hall and when Peter denied knowing him the Lord turned and looked at Peter there was something in that look that says Peter I still love you I knew this would happen but I have prayed for you Peter that even after you fall I have prayed for you that after you are converted you will strengthen the Brethren there was something about that look it broke Peter's heart Peter went out weeping crying well Jesus died on the cross and two weeks after he died the Bible tells us that Peter went up fishing again with the disciples he's like like a born leader he say let's go fishing they all followed him and Jesus walked by the shores of Galilee and he says children have you any food and they say none they have toil all night they caught nothing Jesus says throw your net on the right side the right side is a place of righteousness he threw the n on the right side and they caught so much fish and then John recognized it was Jesus and the Bible says Peter when he realized it was Jesus he jump into the water to go to Jesus now wait did you know that Jesus by this time has restored Peter but it's not recorded for us in the Bible the Bible doesn't talk about that personal encounter Peter had with Jesus after he rose from the dead but if you look at 1 Corinthians 15 it says after Jesus rose from the dead he was sin by keas that's the name of the other name of Peter all right in calan keas then by the 12th but what you read in the Bible is that by evening Jesus appeared in the upper room to the 12th or to the 11 that were there okay but listen something happened in between that the Holy Spirit has veiled the entire meeting of Jesus and Peter and no I is allowed to pry into that restoration all we know is that Jesus met Peter so two weeks later when Peter realized it was Jesus at the shores of Galilee he jumped into the water to go to Jesus now what do you think Drew him his Holiness and he's always holy he's twice holy or he's love come on people if it was his Holiness Peter would jump the other side of the boat away from Jesus I would reckon that right but he jumped to go to he can't even wait for the boat to arrive he jumped into the boat to go to Jesus now which is maturity when he first when he didn't realize he didn't know who Jesus was had a vague idea not a full understanding of who the Lord was it was a sense of his Holiness that he was more conscious of but when he walked with the Lord he knew the Lord the Lord forgave him he knew the Lord even better after that it was the aspect of his grace and love that Peter was drawn to so which is maturity in Peter's life you see God wants to be known for his love and his grace is God holy oh yes trist holy has God gone soft on sin no sin is sin to God but I tell you why God today wants to be known in the aspect of his love and his grace see the Bible never say God is Holiness but it does Define God as God is love all right God is Holy Holy Holy yes but he Define is love now watch this the Bible tells us there is a word in the Old Testament uh I think translators have a problem trying to Define that word okay they'll use words like loving kindness love one translation says love another one says mercies but his mercies are new every morning and the Greek is the Hebrew word casset David says God your loving kindness is better than life and that word there is same Hebrew word but different English words it seems like the English translators cannot find the exact word another place his mercies are new Every Morning in Hebrew his hasset are new every morning not too long ago I went to Israel and uh like I said last night there are many many many Jewish pastors with Messianic congregations now they are preaching the grace of God Amen and and they have a they have a new testament in Hebrew you know the New Testament is translated from Greek but they have death in Hebrew so I asked them this you know everywhere it says Grace like the law was given by Moses and Grace and Truth see what the Hebrew says Grace is all right and he says everywhere it says Grace all right it says hasset in other words David was saying your your grace is better than life David says his grace endures for forever amen Jehoshaphat was was invaded by by three large armies they were outnumbered and he he brought singers in front to praise the beauty of his Holiness and what is the beauty of his Holiness the words of the song are given to us praise the Lord for his her his grace endures forever and all the enemies start fighting among themselves Grace will give you the victory that's what it means the battle is the Lord your focus on Grace and let me finish this all right there are those who would say things like you know Joseph Prince You Don't Preach too much on repentance you and Joel both are in the same mix but when they say that what they are trying to say is that you don't preach repentant where people are crying and people are sobbing and heating their breath and say Jesus Jesus you know what we have is the pulpit preaching and then people's lives are being transformed minds are changing and the Greek word for repentance meta NOA change of mind you know every Sunday all right over here and people watching at homes and all that when they listen to Joel preach they are changing their minds from a God who is angry to a smiling God reflected in the preacher a smiling preacher and and and from thinking small to praying godsize prayers repentance is going on people amen of being afraid to approach God to having the boldness to come to him when you are in need that's repentance but this remorseful thing let me show you this verse real quick and I'm going close uh uh Judas you know in the King James it says that Judas who betrayed Jesus when he saw that he was condemned repented was it a true repentance you say Pastor the repentance I'm talking about is remorse well in the new King James it says he was [Music] remorseful and yet he never went to Jesus for forgiveness he did the ultimate Act of self-righteousness he killed himself he' rather hang than allow Jesus hanging to be the forgiveness for him do you realize how self-righteous that is Peter did not knowing Jesus that night but Peter waited until Christ hung for him amen greatest humility is to receive and not to punish yourself how dare you punish yourself when God sent his son to be punished in your place how dare you hit your family how dare you hit yourself when Jesus was hit at the cross with God's judgment on your behalf so repentance is repent the base essence of repentance is repentance towards God Acts 20 Paul says all right Acts 20 he says repentance I testify to Jews and Greeks repentance towards God the very first area repentance must happen in every preaching and teaching is towards God you know what towards God change your mind towards God that's where everything happens how you view God is how your life will be change your mind about God God is a God that will run to you when you take one step towards him that's a God that Jesus came to reveal and the last portion and then I'm going to close all right one day I was telling the Lord Lord give me another illustration from your word of repentance so I can shut some people's mouths I'm tired of this you know the thing is that they are affecting the the flock and I get fierce when when people attack the flock amen if you are a Shepherd feet don't be a wolf and and and and beat and tear them apart you know said the Lord give me an illustration he brought me into this beautiful and we'll end with this Jesus Luke 15 all right then Drew near the Tex collectors and the Sinners to Jesus to hear him isn't that beautiful all right the tax collectors came and the Sinners came to hear Jesus all right they all came switch on their TV to watch Joel and then the theologians sorry the Pharisees and scribes complained saying this manes Sinners and eats with them what an echate A Friend of Sinners then Jesus shared this Parable I'll close with this Parable so he spoke this Parable to them don't forget one side are all the Sinners and one side are the Pharisees Jesus said what man of you having a 100 sheep if he loses one of them does not leave the 99 in the wilderness and go after the one which is lost until he finds it and when he has found it he lays it on his shoulders and look at the style rejoicing now next verse and when he comes home this is Extreme no Shepherd does this over a lost ship he might Spang the ship but rejoice and call for a party all his neighbors will say forget it man this man is crazy right and he calls his friends together his neighbors and all that Rejoice with me for I found my sheep which was lost now watch this I say to you that likewise there'll be more joy in heaven there'll be more joy in heaven over one sinner that repents is the word repent there is the word repent there there's more joy over one sinner who repents than over 99 just persons who need no repentance so I I read that and I said Lord how in the world did that lost sheep repent obviously he's teaching on repentance I said how pray tell me Lord I I I read it again the good shepher left the 99 the Good Shepherd went the Good Shepherd sought the Good Shepherd found the Good Shepherd carried the Good Shepherd put it on his shoulders so that he have doesn't to walk no more he's born on his strength and power the Good Shepherd brought him home the Good Shepherd calls for a celebration the Good Shepherd Rejoice I say Lord I don't see where the the the Sheep repents is all the Good Shepherd and the Lord says this is repentance the Sheep has to be consent has to cons consent to be carried the Sheep has to consent to be loved the Sheep has to consent to rest on my strong shoulders whenever you do these things when you consent to be loved consent to rest on my power consent to rest on my heart of love that's true repentance Jesus gets all the glory it is not this repent repent repent or even feeling remorse like Judas but there's no true repentance folks it's time for us to study the Bible for ourselves and see that this wonderful Jesus 2,000 years ago hung on a lonely tree during the time of Elijah when Elijah built the 12 Stones altar he asked for water to be poured on the sacrifice three times making it difficult as if for God to put down fire to bring the fire but find the fire came Elijah's fire the fires of God's judgment consume the sacrifice consume all the 12 Stones until nothing was left because under the O the Judgment was greater than the sacrifice but under the new when Jesus the sacrifice hung on the cross he absorbed all of God's righteous indignation against all lawlessness against all sins he absorbed it all until everything I I just just wish I have a video to show you like like a wh wind going to his person he absorbed all and right finish nothing left no more curse no more judgment this time and he was still alive and it says father don't forget this time after he absorb everything the sacrifice remain for the first time we see the sacrifice is greater than the Judgment Grace has come Hallelujah we are all the beneficiaries of it so friends listen God is still holy but because of what Christ did God's righteous eyes saw your sins and my sins born in the body of Jesus and God who is Holy tries holy cannot punish us today for the sins that he punished Jesus for it's called The Law of Double Jeopardy the same crime the same sin cannot be punished twice in the body of my shity and substitute then in my body God will be Unholy if God did that God will be unjust if God did that so I'm telling you friends God's holiness today is on our side just like Israel put the on the blood the blood on the door poost that night God's holiness was now on their side because the blood has been shed do you understand today God's holiness is on your side demanding your acal demanding your justification demanding your forgiveness God's righteousness is on your side God is for you not against you give praise Church come on Hallelujah yeah this is our God
