redeemer lives my redeemer lives let's pray together spirit of the living god speak to our hearts tonight give us a word from the lord inform us how you are working on our behalf even in the midst of this world crisis in jesus name let the redeemed of the lord say amen come on somebody say amen again we are glad to be here i'll just go through three texts give me three texts if you would what does john chapter 1 and verse 1 say church what does it say i can't hear you in the beginning what was the word and the word was what with god and the word the word was god what does the bible say uh in isaiah chapter 8 and verse 20. what does it say to the law and to the testimony if they speak not according to this word it is because there is what church there is no light uh in them and then let's go to ephesians chapter 4 and verse 32 the bible says what and be ye god one to another tenderhearted forgiving one another even as god for christ saying hath forgiven you had forgiven you we got some things we need to cover tonight let's go ahead and jump right into our message right into god's word here tonight if you uh would turn with me uh in your bibles to genesis chapter 2 and verse 7 genesis the second chapter and verse 7. it's an incredible scene that takes place in earth's history the bible says in genesis chapter 2 and verse 7 the bible says in the lord god did what for man what of the dust of the ground breathed into his nostrils the what everybody the breath of life and man became a living soul how many of you have ever been i don't know how many of you ever been to college been to school abroad anybody here you've been to school abroad most of us have right we've been to school not everybody not everybody everybody but how many you've been um to biking shows abroad oh you know what i'm saying i know you even watched some race the book the truth of the matter is is that sometimes you find yourself in the absolute minority when you're trying to describe like amazing things in bermuda like they don't really get it you know what i'm saying like have you ever have you ever tried to describe to like your american or your other friends from around the world like what a real fish sandwich tastes like huh have you ever tried to describe to them and say yeah man it's actually on raisin bread you know i mean like like that's almost an instant turn-off to the people you're trying to describe oh you put coleslaw on it what you know what i'm saying for them this is strange talk like like really nobody eats like that no yeah how about this how about have you ever tried to describe to them how you're supposed to put ketchup on your eggs uh come on now come on ketchup on macaroni and cheese huh you know like they're like ew that's nasty you know but for us it's like you're really missing out on an incredible experience it's that grand some of you have tried to describe simple things i know like like you almost get into arguing sometimes trying to let people know that loquats are off the chain man you know what i'm saying like they're really good like cherries yeah those little red cherries you got all right you know what i'm saying but you got to come get some real some real cherries i i remember arguing with in-laws and stuff you know when i first come i remember arguing with them about how johnny bread tastes better than biscuits you know what i'm saying it was it was a war in the house that day man they were swearing up i i remember you know this is what they say we're kind of like they're not sure whose side we're on because i remember having the argument at christmas and thanksgiving about how pumpkin pie was better than sweet potato you know what i'm saying it was it was a riot you know because if you're if you trust me man you're down south like like sweet potato pie is the law okay that is the law of the land but it's amazing because it's interesting to know that in essence god's original plan god's original plan is something we have never experienced and it's hard for us to fathom or imagine it because we have never been there i want to take you to just for a second because scripture lets us know that god in counsel with his son formed the plan of creating man in his own image god got together with his son now you know this upset the devil right he wanted to be in the plan you got to think about it from this perspective that in this if you would throne room on that side of the table because you got adoring angels on the other side but on this side you got the father you got the son and you've got lucifer that's it but when it com in addition to that every time god wants the angelic host to know something he don't even send jesus he sends lucifer but all of a sudden when it's time to create the heavens and the earth god and the sun go off in private to have the discussion and lucifer is left out man he got upset man we had the great rebellion in heaven he got kicked out but understand this that when god made man after this and placed him down here on earth i want you to catch this man was placed here on probation sometimes we missed that but we were placed here on probation he was tested he was to be tested and brood now what's interesting is i love this part if he should bear the test of god and remain loyal and true through the first trial he was not to be beset with continual temptations in other words if adam and eve could have just passed the test of not touching his tree that would have been the end of temptations for them right and he was to then be exalted he was to be exalted and made equal with the angels huh and from thenceforth he was to be immortal never again with the temptations come otherwise lets us know that in essence before the devil came to earth he went to all the other worlds that god had created and he couldn't convince anybody this was his last opportunity to try and convince somebody to take his son it's interesting adam and eve were made perfect listen to this they were made perfect physically huh physically mentally and spiritually perfect physically perfect mentally and perfect and perfect spiritually they were not lacking in any capacity and on top of that the beauty before their eyes was magnificent god planted for them a garden and surrounded them with everything that was lovely and attractive to the eye and everything they needed was already supplied now listen to this god sometimes we miss this so don't don't think for a second that when adam and eve were created that they had to go and plant the garden it's very clear that god planted the garden before he made adam and eve why is this important because not only did god do all the work in planting the garden god did all the work in creating them perfect from day one hold on a second now not only are they created perfect from day one but just like nature inside of them is the ability to if you would huh not recreate don't just recreate but to be what to be fruitful and to to multiply it's interesting because when god created man when god created man he made them totally different from every other thing he had ever created everything no one was created like man no one was created in his image not no cat not no torque not no no no being from another planet only man was created in god's image what's interesting is that when it came to the rest of nature god built in them the ability to if you would be fruitful and multiply robotically in other words in other words you know eat some watermelon the seeds drop they make more watermelons huh you know what i'm saying the flowers cross pollinate they make more flowers now everything out there just kind of on the wind just re-recreates but when it came to man reproduction was given to them as an intellectual choice they would like to just oh wonder here and there and go here and there no no no no no they want to make an intentional choice to obey god and to be fruitful and to multiply it's interesting because god not only does that but god gives them fruits grains and nuts and here's what history here's what kind of touched me he also gave them vegetables ah you're gonna get in just a second there was fruits grains and nuts but there was also vegetables already there god did not just have a plan for them in perfection he also had a plan for them if they should fall the the vegetables they weren't supposed to be messed with fruits grains and nuts everything that mankind was supposed to eat was supposed to be above ground already you pick it and you eat it it was already there when adam opened his eyes when god breathed into him the breath of light and he became this living soul when he woke up the watermelon was already ready huh the mangoes are already hanging on the tree yeah come on now the peaches are there and you got to talk about this fruit and from perspective that it's fruit that has been if you would produced in the perfect environment and what's interesting is it's not really dependent upon seasons because in the garden of eden the weather was perfect all the time oh lord help us man they had whatever they wanted all year round you know they didn't have to sit there and watch the watermelon and pray that creatures didn't come and eat it they'd have to sit there no no no no their watermelons were huge all by themselves it's an amazing thing because they had everything that you could ever imagine they had the best of the best if adam and eve were to try to describe what a mango tastes like in the garden of eden we could never fathom it huh i got some jamaican friends that would suggest that that theirs are very close but i'm telling you right now that we could not fathom what listen i've seen i've seen giant strawberries uh from from from the middle east i mean the strawberries man these things are bigger than mangoes man the bigger why because in the environment that have produced them they're still able to reach uh uh closer to what was in eating than what we can hear what happens if just that little strawberry tastes good huh and it's amazing because us and bermuda we should be the ones who are really looking forward to actually getting to heaven so we can actually eat some fresh produce oh lord help us man i'll be honest with you uh uh i don't care what stores in or what stewart's settling here in bermuda it should only say produce okay because ain't nothing fresh oh lord help us man every now and then there's something that comes out of the gardens there's some fresh stuff that does some locally grown stuff that comes out of the garden but anything that's imported here that could take a week or two to get here is not fresh all right then fresh blueberries ain't fresh then fresh strawberries ain't fresh come on now don't get me started with your tomatoes there's nothing that frustrates me more than going to the grocery store and getting a tomato i read the other day i found one that was happening it must have been growing here because it was big out of fox and it was ripe and it was firm i was shocked took it home couldn't believe two days later it was still firm and right you know what i'm saying but i knew i had to hurry up i knew it was only gonna give me a couple of days you know what i'm saying before i had to cut that thing up but i need you to understand that adam and eve had it all perfect very interesting that vegetables were their present because god had a plan when they messed up what's interesting to me is that the only tree or the only fruit that we know for a fact was actually in the garden was what is what other things right because remember when they messed up they tried to cover themselves with fig leaves right that's the only fruit we know was actually there i believe all them fruit were there i don't know that's the uh except for the ones that were you know men have kind of mixed up you know like tangelos i don't know i don't think tangelos were in the garden of eden i don't think tangelo was made to cut you know what i'm saying you had a tangerine you know or you had a let's see whatever they mixed with oranges honeydews whatever but the truth of the matter is is that in essence this fruit is pure it's huge okay i'll tell you this forget telling people from across and from the states have you ever tried to describe how good to like somebody that's 15 or 20 right now how good a bermuda orange used to taste they don't understand they go to a store peeling oranges with the skin this stick huh and the orange just small huh well back in the day but i'm all just so big then and the skin was thin man oh come on man come on you peeled that joker it was on man that joy is something that this younger generation has never experienced adam and eve experienced it all and for the next almost a thousand years they sat outside the garden trying to tell their children and great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren how good it used to be it's amazing thing because god caused everything to grow out of the ground when he simply said let there be everything was made complete and able to produce when god instilled in nature and and put these things in place nature was ready to move in a dynamic way and the truth of the matter is is that it's because of us uh because of our parents that everything got messed up the green grass decorated the endless variety of self-perpetuating flowers god had blessed adam and eve with a perfect and self-sustaining if you would all-inclusive have you ever heard about all-inclusives you take a trip and it's all-inclusive food is ready come on now huh huh the dining is there your place to stay is there your attractions are all included in one price god gave adam and eve the very first all-inclusive whatever they desired was right there before them one of the things you should understand this is that the reason why don't miss this god created man and made him in his image was because none of the other creatures had the ability to appreciate creation other words in order for the creature to actually have a genuine appreciation for what god had done he had to place his mind inside of them so that they could understand what he had just made so as he makes us in his image so when we see huh a blue bird fly when we see a dove when we see a lion when we see how beautiful the sunset is as it cascades over our pink beaches we're able to take hold of that to see it and appreciate it for its beauty none of the other creatures do it what's the last time you saw two monkeys or two elephants or two drugs when's the last time you saw a pig bull sitting next to a chihuahua out there overlooking horseshoe bay talking about ain't just a beautiful sunset you've never seen it because they cannot appreciate that beauty all i can do is appreciate the food you throw to them and they walk around finding food and finding somebody else to have babies with that's how they operate all day every day but we get to appreciate the beauty of nature it's interesting because god didn't just put adam and eve there and say okay appreciate beauty while they were appreciating the beauty they were supposed to work even in perfection they had work to do they were to dress the garden they were to shape it form canopies you know kind of like a little cool little shout and stuff like that they had all these different things to do why because mankind oh lord help us could not fully appreciate creation without doing some work himself because if it takes you this long just to build a house if it takes you this long just to get these flowers to come together then how in the world did god do it all when he just said let there be it's in working especially in nature that we understand what god is all about it's in working that we have this great appreciation for what he can do it's in working especially in a garden that when you get out there and you work and you work some of you know what i'm talking about you're out there and you're pulling weeds and it's in the hot sun and you feel like you're gonna die and you need a grass of water and you know what kind of stuff listen man at those moments you're just ready to just collapse and quit and god in that moment then in the night season causes something to show up the next morning that you couldn't produce if we paid you to produce it's an incredible moment because after all this wonderful creation god crowns adam as king he had dominion over everything adam had more intelligence than any other creature it's amazing because god makes him in his divine image and adam and eve bible the bible lets us know man that these guys uh were declared to be very good otherwise says man adam and eve they used to sing and when they would sing oh lord help us they would they would be harmonizing with the angels of heaven and with the birds in the in the trees at the same time oh come on man come on man get to singing i mean simone she's saying a beautiful song tonight man i didn't know birds singing i didn't hear no birds singing with her you know what i'm saying the angelic holster but i tell you this on sabbath mornings when you are having your worship in your room when you are having that private worship the angelic host loves to join in with your songs in harmony huh all they expect when they show up is some unity some order and some discipline if they find that they get to singing with you huh there are some times in your home you think it's you that sounds so good oh come on somebody huh huh there's an angelic host that is worshiping and that is singing with you but to think that we are so close to being angels were this close huh we gave it all up because the first lesson that god tried to teach in the garden was self-denial huh eve though she got curious and she wandered away from her husband she got curious huh and here's what's interesting because she makes her way to the tree and she sees that this tree is just as beautiful as all the other trees and in her mind she cannot fathom how this tree could lead to something evil or bad when it looks so good and look just as good as the other trees what's interesting is is that what throws her off completely is when the devil threw the serpent in the tree which is a glorious golden creature that had wings flies into the tree if you would decorates himself with the fruit that's in the tree and then when she comes by he actually asked her the question he asked her the question he comes at a man you know i'm saying god said you couldn't eat this this tree and here's the thing when he says this to her she thinks he's the most wise person ever because she thought he read her thoughts i don't know i said that wasn't the case eve was so if you would questioning god's command that she was repeating her questions out loud oh lord unbeknownst to her own self she was asking man why would god say this why would he say this is a bad tree i don't understand and as soon as he gets to the serpent servant says hey did god tell you you couldn't eat this tree you know what i'm saying and she's like just like oh wow it's a serpent and he talks huh and here's the thing man it's one thing i always get on eve's case because it's one thing to hear a snake talk to you okay it's another thing to answer it okay all right and she answers the serpent yeah man she says yeah you know he said and here's what's interesting the serpent convinces eve listen to this the serpent convinces eve that the reason why god does not want her to eat from the tree is because the tree will give her knowledge and that knowledge will give her power which means that if she eats from the tree she will then be equal with god and that god was keeping this blessing from her so that he could keep her as a subordinate to him instead of allowing her to become equal the same problem he had in heaven he now places on eve wanting to be equal with god now he's kicked out and he's got a problem but i'm thankful i am thankful today because the story doesn't stop there i want you guys to turn with me in your bibles to job chapter 19 and verse 28. got a few texts i want to give you tonight job chapter 19 and verse sorry 22 job 19 22-28 here's the bible says why do you persecute me this is joe talking to his friends as god and are not satisfied with my flesh huh 23 oh that my words were now written oh that they were printed in a book this is job talking to a man very significant that job job joe the oldest book written in the bible is talking about written handwriting stuff that's that's a that's a something that archaeologists fought against for years until they realized that they were actually writing back then but here's the thing verse 24 that they were gravy with an iron pen and lead in the rock forever i wish i could write it down then what does he say in verse 25 for i know that my redeemer liveth and that he shall stand at the letter day upon the earth hold on now and though after my skin worms destroy this body yet in my flesh shall i see god here's what he says in verse 26 whom i shall see for myself come on now john says i know my redeemer lives i'm going to see him for myself and mine eyes shall behold and not another though my reigns be consumed within me what does the bible say in 28 but yes what but ye should say why persecute me him seeing the root of the matter is found in me in other words leave me alone this ain't about me this is about divinity take me back if you were to 25 i think it is verse 25 for i know this is these words of job that i my redeemer liveth come on you guys this is this is if you want 1500 years before jesus shows up as the messiah this is 1500 years before a baby is born in bethlehem 1500 years before shepherds are watching your sheep by night 1500 years before herod tries to kill the baby up this is 1500 years before the baby is wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a danger and job is able to look down into the future look down into the end of the world and say i know that my redeemer living that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth do what you want to me say what you want to me yes this pandemic that i cut these boys that are about to take me out i'm all right because i will see my redeemer in the last day it's an incredible story but he says i know that my redeemer jesus ain't redeemed nothing yet but you know how he is he's the already but not yet he dwells in the past the present and the future all at the same time jesus has already completed in the past what he will do in the future while he performs it in the present but i'm going to stop there we'll give you some more texts john chapter 5 verse 21 just want to leave these texts with you as i close let's read that together for as the father raises up the dead and quickeneth them even so the son quickeneth whom he will huh i'm gonna go stop there first corinthians 15 45 to 47. those of you that attend a lot of funerals here you know we normally get into verse 50 right this is corruptible so i'll put it but let's take a look here 45 and so it is written the first man adam was made a living soul the last adam was made a quickening spirit go back to 20 go back to 45. hello i understand what this text is saying that adam was made a living soul right lord god breathed rational breath of life man became a living soul right the breath plus the dust makes a living soul here's the thing adam was just a living human being when the second adam came he was a quickening spirit the first adam was just a regular human being the second adam was a quickening spirit what does it mean what does it mean the words that have used it for quickly spirit does simply mean that the first adam was living a life the second adam was living a life but he also had the power to give life oh lord help us man that he could he could infuse light into others that in essence he could stand here when he sees a widow who's who's whose son has died and stopped the funeral and raised he could he could if you would when somebody is on their deathbed simply say around take up your bed and walk up he could stand outside of lazarus tomb and simply say come forth and lazarus came forth alive that's the quickening spirit verse 46 verse 46 the bible says i'll be that was not first which is spiritual but that which is natural and afterward that which is spiritual we've talked about this at length as we discuss john how in essence yes it's one thing to be poured of the water it's another thing to be part of the spirit it's a one thing to be born of earthly things it's another thing to be born of heaven and if you are to be saved you must be born of the spirit and he is a quickening spirit verse 47 first man is of the earth come on now the second adam is the lord from heaven come on i just got a couple more texts i'm going to leave but you just want to leave them with you guys help me out if you would romans chapter 8 and verse 11. just two more texts romans chapter 8 and verse 11. the bible says this let's look at it but if the spirit of him but if the spirit of him that raised up jesus from the dead dwell in you he that raised up christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwelleth in you oh man come on now he's a quickening spirit he can give immortality back to mortality huh that's how this corruptible can put on incorruption because now he that's living within you is a quickening spirit that's why it's so important that you die now before you die oh lord help us man it's important that we have your funeral before your funeral uh come on somebody man it's very important that the last we see of you is before we see you in the casket because if you're going to be saved you must understand that you must be crucified just like christ was crucified so that you can be resurrected just like he was resurrected if you want to come up with christ you've got to go down with him an amazing thing it's amazing thing last text last text and i'll stop right here second corinthians uh chapter 3 and verse 17. if you're wondering who that spirit is here's what the text says the great look at it look at it look at it now the lord is that spirit and where come on man and where the spirit of the lord is there is liberty where the spirit of the lord is there is liberty church i want to challenge you today like job you got to get into a place even in the midst of this pandemic you're not afraid to serve him but you're able to cry out even if this pandemic takes me out i'm going to be all right for i know come on man that my redeemer lives you know what i'm saying and the truth is let me say this sometimes casually at funerals but the truth is there's if there ought not be not one saint in god's house that's afraid of dying amen because you're accustomed to dying [Music] like paul you die daily you get you die every single day oh today's the day i died for oh yeah okay been doing that every day for quite some time if this is my time this is it because i've already me has already died and i want to let you know when you die when your flesh is actually when if you would when your soul uh your living being is actually dead and we have your funeral yes we'll talk about you and say some nice things whatever but when you die to self i told you guys several times do not expect a memorial service do not expect a funeral the last thing we want to hear about and ever remember is how you where before the spirit quickens you because once he gets a hold of you the bible says the former things are passed away behold all things have become new so we don't want to hear about the old you when you walk in church we don't even want to see you all we want to see is jesus all we want to look upon is jesus and i want to let you know when everybody comes in here looking like jesus and talking like jesus and quickened by jesus then guess what there's an explosion of power that takes place in god's house that everyone off the street is begging the question what must i do to be saved father in heaven we thank you today that job could look prophetically town through the quarters of time and declare that his redeemer lives if job can do it then so can we for we claim the promises of heaven because here in 2021 in the midst of this pandemic it's still true that our redeemer lives thank you for your word tonight in jesus name amen [Music] getting ready for our prayer song it's going to be nearer still narrow him number 301 [Music] we're still near thy heart draw me myself you're so precious thou art [Music] is [Music] [Music] amen how many of us believe in the power of prayer how many of us believe that if there ever was a time now is a time that we need prayer [Music] we've been going through so much even in our country recently obviously um heard the news today of new restrictions locked down because of this pandemic [Music] we continue to experience death in our land it seems like every day someone is passing [Music] but we have the opportunity to take all of our burdens and all of our cares to god in prayer and receive power and we pray [Music] as we prepare for prayer we're going to read from steps to christ the chapter on the privilege of prayer and then we're going to have an opportunity for us for a few minutes to commune with god and then i'll close out with a prayer it says through nature and revelation through his providence and by the influence of his spirit god speaks to us but these are not enough we need also to pour our hearts to him in order to have spiritual life and energy we must actually have intercourse of our heavenly father our minds may be drawn out toward him we may meditate upon his works his mercies his blessings but this is not in the fullest sense communing with him in order to commune with god we must have something to say to him concerning our actual life prayer is the opening of the heart to god as to a friend not that it is necessary in order to make known to god what we are but in order to enable us to receive him prayer does not bring us sorry prayer does not bring god down to us but brings us up to him and it reads when jesus was upon the earth he taught his disciples how to pray he directed them to present their daily needs before god and to cast all their cares upon him and the assurance he gave them that their petition should be heard is assurance also to us jesus himself while he dwelt among man was often in prayer and as we know jesus is an example to us our savior identified himself with our needs and weaknesses in that he became supplement a petitioner seeking from his father fresh supplies of strength that he may come forth braced for duty and trial he is our example in all things he is our brother in our infirmities in all points tempted like as we are but as sinless one his nature recoiled from evil he endured struggles and torture of soul in a world of sin his humanity like us made prayer necessary sorry made prayer a necessity and a privilege he found comfort and joy and communion with his father now it reads the darkness of the evil one encloses those who neglect to pray the whisper temptations of the enemy entice them to sin and it is all because they do not make use of this privilege that god has given them in the divine appointment of prayer why should the sons and daughters of god be reluctant to pray when prayer is the key in hand of faith to unlock heaven's storehouses where are treasured the boundless resources of omnipotence without unceasing prayer and diligent watching we are in danger of growing careless and of deviating from the right path somebody's going to give us a few minutes just to commune with god pour out your heart to him whatever's on your mind your daily cares and then i'll close with a brief vertebrae [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] dear kind in gracious heavenly father we thank you lord for another opportunity to commune with you we thank you for this privilege that we have to be connected with you lord [Music] in this world all we are faced with so many trials so many cares but we thank you lord for the opportunity to come to you and be refreshed
