you how was your day it was good did you have a easy day at work or did you have a hard day did your boss treat you nicely did you feel oppressed did you spend time praying all during the day alright since your answer is no let me make a recommendation the Bible says pray without ceasing that verse is not from the book of Revelation it's literal but it is a habit we can develop you can go through the day praying to God about everything about traffic about your spouse about your children about the fact you like a spouse about your job about whatever just talk to God about everything literally go through the day talking to God as I said it is a habit that you and I can develop when you do that your mind is always in heaven even though your feet around the earth and it is not important where our feet are it is important where the mind is and so I urge you I encourage you try to develop the habit of praying without ceasing well somebody say Amen all right you look well and I thank God for that I had a pleasant evening very quiet evening last night at about 12:30 I wasn't sleeping so I just stepped out of the front door of the home Ram staying which I called my palace and I stepped outside and the breeze was nice and cool and it just blew across my face and I looked up and saw some stars saw a plane twinkling in the distance and I just talked to God they said father thank you for the joy and the honor of being in the United Kingdom generally and in Slough particularly and for the purpose of speaking for you and I just thank him I was alive to feel the cold breeze I just signed him that he would ask me to speak for him I just thanked him that he allows me to fly north south east and west and so I just chatted with him for a few minutes walk up and down went back inside and stretched out and spoke to him some more left the last thought on your mind at night be of Christ - these words our high calling page 116 paragraph - your last thought at night your first thought in the morning should be of him in whom is centered your hope of eternal life go to bed thinking about Christ fall asleep thinking about Christ wake up thinking about Christ if you do that I am sure it will improve the quality of your sleep all right so much for that who is with us you are not a seventh-day Adventist you are here for the first time makes your hand first time you are not

take it up and to take it forward and thanks sister Williams where is she where is my cousin oh there she is all right thank you for allowing me to stay in your palace that's what it is you see I'm a son of God which makes me a prince anywhere I stay it's a palace even if it's under a tree are you following me so when I get into a car it becomes a limousine because I am in it because I'm the son of God are you following me so I am staying in a palace 107 home Dale those of you who want to visit you need special permission okay are we ready for the word of God all right before I go any further you know how strange I am let me get this out what's this what's this what would I like you to use yeah you know the Bible is going out of style and I'm fighting a one-man war to keep it popular it is going out of stuff but you can't fight progress I suppose but if you have one of these use it and turn this thing off let me make sure mine was off I was reading what I was pacing back and forth in the parking lot by the way for those of you who wonder why is he always withdrawn before he speaks I have to think and I have to pray and I have to keep my mind as much as possible that's why the moment I come I go back there and I talked to God as I walked back and forth I have to do that in order to feel as though I'm ready to do God's work so please try to understand it's not that I'm not a nice man I'm a very nice man but when you have to preach it is very serious work and it ever tries to mess with your mind so you've got to protect it that's why I function the way I do all right the second thing I'd like you to do is to pray for me while I'm speaking all you have to say is Lord put your words in that man's mouth that request is based on Jeremiah chapter one verse nine which says what you heard me say it all the time then the Lord put forth his hand and touched my mouth and the Lord said unto me behold I have put my words in thy mouth I want God to put his words in my mouth and these are God's words as I've told you before I will do everything in my power to keep my opinions to myself because my opinions cannot save or sanctify and the third favor I ask is that you think as you listen God give you a mind to think Isaiah 1:18 come now let us do what reason together saith the Lord come and pray for me give me your name sister Gladys that's a good name pray for me ask the Lord to use me to bless his people now step careful step carefully alright okay I have a wife I have a sister I have a mother I have friends ladies always take good care of the ladies all men say Amen it was allowed enough said again brethren by the way I love to see men in church you know most people in prison are men in any country most inmates in institutions are men most violent crimes are committed by men overwhelmingly the devil has launched an attack against men that is so successful because the devil knows a righteous man is a powerful influence in society it is by God's arrangement the man is the head of the house the head of the church and the devil attacks the head and when he does that he weakens the organization and so he puts men in prison he has them being violent and very few men tried to be like the man Jesus in today's society Jesus would be a weakling because he didn't fight he did hit back all he did was righteousness we need more men like that and so men thank you very much for coming to God's house I really mean that and those of you fight the internet wherever my brothers are god bless you for loving the word now let us go to our Romans seven will read 12 and 14 Romans chapter 7 12 and 14 do you have Romans 7 verse 12 read first 12 for me if you have the King James Version what does it say wherefore the law is holy and the commandment holy just and good now pause we have four adjectives describing the commandment or the law of God what are the four holy number two holy what else just and good so three alright one repeated the commandment is holy just let's find number four in verse 14 what does that say for we know that the law is spiritual but I am carnal sold under sin we have two words we have spiritual we have carnal the law is everything that carnal is not the law is the opposite to carnal so the law of God is spiritual the law of God is holy the law of God is just the law of God is good Psalm 19 let's read verse 7 Psalm 19 verse 7 it's a very well-known verse it's 20 minutes to 8 I'll release you before 8:30 hopefully comfortably before 8:30 what book did I say what chapter what verse 7 we read the first part of that verse what is it saying the law of the Lord is perfect stop now let's go down the list the law is spiritual the law is holy the law is just the law is good the law is perfect go to psalm 119 psalm 119 let's read first 142 of psalm 119 today's Tuesday I believe the 17th of July am i right a member of my family has a birthday on Thursday I don't remember who it is but one of them has a birthday on July 19 okay something your nieces are god bless your knees tell her the preacher said hi someone might hear first 140 to read it for me what is it saying that righteousness is never lasting righteousness come on thy law ah we have something else at the law let's go through the list the law is holy just good spiritual perfect truth what a Psalm 111 let's read verse 7 and 8 of Psalm 111 some 111 7 and 8 do you have that read for me what does that say the works these hands are Verity and judgment come on all his Commandments are sure what is sure mean they are certain definite let the verse 8 establish what it means come on refer say they stand forever and ever and I've done a in truth and uprightness so God's laws his Commandments are forever and ever give me one word for that they are eternal now let's go down the list the law of God is holy just good spiritual perfect righteous eternal we have did we get truth in there and eternal now question for you what's wrong with the law like that nothing all right and you're right now let's go to the other side let's go to Romans 8 let's read verse 7 and verse 8 of Romans 8 seven and eight verses 7 and 8 of Romans chapter 8 where is my little brother my Simba he was living here last night all my little friends have vanished where's my Simba he didn't come today tell him I missed him please tell him don't make that mistake again I want to see brother my Simba in God's house who knows he may be the next Apostle Paul to bring the second coming of Christ can you say Amen all right Romans chapter 8 reading for 7 and verse 8 read with me what does it say because the carnal mind is enmity against God stop what do we learn about the carnal mind it is an it hates God and everything that is of god the bible does will say the carnal mind hates church it hates God let me pause while you dwell on what I just said the carnal sinful nature with which were born does not hate church it hates God now the verse goes on to tell us verse 8 and not 7 and 8 why it hates God let's read 7 again and keep reading because the carnal mind come on read with me is enmity against God why for it is not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be now looking at verse 7 clearly carefully tell me why the carnal mind is enmity against God why does it hit god yes okay so what's the problem for the carnal mind say I heard it what's the problem for the carnal mind according to verse seven listen again listen microscopically the law is the problem for the carnal mind as a cat is a problem for a mouse listen to God's Word say it with me because the carnal mind the way we're born is enmity against God not the angels the carnal mind has no problem with Gabriel because Gabriel has never given the law the carnal mind has no problem with Mother Teresa or whoever is the nicest person in Slough the carnal mind has a problem with God why because the carnal mind is not subject to whose law the law of God and so we go from holy just good perfect righteous truth eternal to hatred of God let's go to Jeremiah 17 let's read verse 9 Jeremiah 17 3 verse 9 Jeremiah is called the weeping prophet because all his messages virtually to Jerusalem were sad and the sadness was increased by the fact they would not listen and they paid a terrible price Jeremiah 17 verse 9 when you found it's Amen read with me what does it say the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked stop or who can know it alright we have two more things about the heart or the carnal nature what are they this evil and desperately wicked so what three things have we learned about the carnal nature it hates God it is deceitful it is desperately wicked now let's focus on deceitful the carnal mind is deceitful it first person the carnal mind is Yves the person who has it my carnal mind deceives me before it can deceive you so we go from holy just good spiritual a righteous eternal truth to end it against God deceitful desperately wicked go to job chapter 14 job 14 I thank God that the temperature drops slightly today I understand there is a threat of its return tomorrow of hot weather but as I said you have to be alive to feel hot job 14 let's read verse 4 when you found that same n read with me what does it say who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean what's the answer no one what's the unclean thing of course the character the nature the carnal mind we have DC foe desperately wicked hates God unclean let's go to John 6 let Jesus have his contribution John 6 let's read verse 63 this is Christ your brother and the Son of God do you realize that Christ is your brother nobody said anything via by virtue of his humanity Christ is your brother that's why he told Mary Magdalene at his graveside he said go and tell Peter I assent you come on my father and your father come on and to my god and your God Christ and his humanity says my god is your God my father is your father this is literal Jesus Christ by virtue of his humanity is your brother he's also God he's your brother alright we're we reading John 6 verse 63 read nice and clear and carefully read with me it is the spirit that quickeneth the flesh profiteth nothing stopped that's Christ what does Christ say about the flesh give me one word for that it is useless the other word is good to use less now let's describe the flesh according to the Bible it hates God it is deceitful above all things it is desperately wicked it is unclean according to job according to Christ it is useless go to 1st Corinthians to read verse 14 at first Corinthians - come right in my friends who just arrived come on in come on in with some seats right up front we'll pause while you come come right in come right in cyst I see that Bible in your arm blessings upon you come on in come on in okay they want to sit together so there are two chairs right here come right in is any one of your guests who is the guest hi what's your name Ruth is a good name there's a book in the Bible called Ruth I have a very good friend called Ruth where are you from sister Ruth can use a good place a Berry's siku Mugu berry he said now carry booka booka booka visa all right don't ask me what I'm saying it's between her and me all right what book did I say first corinthians to read verse 14 but the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God come on for there are foolishness unto Him come on neither can you know them why spiritual things now give me another word for the natural man carnal man what does the Bible say about the carnal mind based on that verse it does not understand what spiritual things spiritual things are what - the carnal mind foolishness you heard the words let me put it more drastically here's God and here is the devil those are the only two sources of information God thou shalt surely die the devil shall not surely die from then until now we have two voices to listen to God or Satan now God says something the devil says something the carnal mind describes what God says as rubbish and chooses the devil's way while the carnal mind is in church that's the carnal mind spiritual things make no sense that the carnal mind now let me test your power of recall describe the law of God holy just good spiritual perfect truth right eternal righteous okay is that good yes or no yes would you like a man like that for your daughter righteous uh-huh good perfect huh yes of course now let's look at the carnal nature it is deceitful it is wicked it hates God it is unclean it cannot understand spiritual things Jesus says it is useless now that's what we have us answer this question for me be honest with God if a change has to be made where does the change have to be made with what the law or the carnal mind the carnal mind so that the carnal mind can do what appreciate and understaffed here's a father disciplining his seven-year-old boy the father is 47 the boy is seven we're talking about two different worlds that the boy understand no he doesn't understand because he's seven the father is 47 that's why teenagers and parents are always fighting not because the teenagers are bad they cannot see things the way you do why is it that the carnal mind on the side all evil the law of God all good is universally despised and the carnal nature has its run of the world go to Genesis Genesis chapter 1 we read first 1 then we'll read verse 31 of Genesis Genesis 1 verse 30 and 431 let me say that again Genesis chapter 1 verse 1 and verse 31 our subject by the way is innocent and condemned what did I say innocent and condemned you know there are few things that hurt as much as being falsely accused oh we hate that so imagine Christ falsely accuse alright Genesis 1 verse 1 read with me without looking in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth now look at verse 31 you may read it and God saw everything that he had made come on and behold it was very good stop if we think God did was good all right let's go chapter 2 let's read 19 are you there read with me and out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the earth and every fowl of the air and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them and whatsoever Adam called every living creature that was the name thereof read that verse again or listen to it now I'll read it out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the earth and every fowl of the air and brought them unto Adam to see this is almost an evaluation an assessment what names will he give these animals follow me closely the Bible says and Adam gave names to every living thing question for you how many names did God change not one now concentrate let's go through some animals I was in Zimbabwe and I rode an elephant in a little place right before Victoria Falls I rode an elephant it was exciting I said him also it was exciting I grabbed a trunk the trunk is tough and looks delicate is a tough teacher thing anyway here's Adam and God is about to bring the animals first animal his big long trunk tall 13 feet high and Adam looks at it and says elephant and you can see God standing a little few feet back and God says what is God saying in his mind I approved what else I'll say differently that's the name I would have chosen now you talking to myself am I talking to myself that's the name I would have chosen how many things are gonna fall now here comes that animal beautiful brown black mane nice tail Lyle experiments there's a lion and God is standing back there few feet and God does and the angels are watching and the angels smile what is God saying that's the name I another animal comes by flying this time with a curved beak huge wings and Adam says God is watching him and the angels probably saying hi he's gonna miss this one and Adam says eagle and God says and the Angels smile every animal that comes by Adam gives a name and God God does not change one name tell me why now this is before sin tell me why Adams a line I'll okay a line is a good word Adams mine come on and God's mind whereas the brother says a lines they were moving in the same direction I go so far as to say there were one so Adam saw things the way God saw things let me be bald God saw things finish my words the way Adam something because Adams will is God's will because the minds are one by the way through Christ you and I can come to that place all right so Adam names the animal God is standing right there so Adam and guardar together are you following me there are four seven of chapter two a subject innocent and condemned it is precisely eight o'clock my friends via the internet I hope you're still with us and not sleeping wherever you are god bless you god bless you i mean that by faith we see your presence Genesis 2:4 7 read with me and the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living Souls verse 8 and the Lord God planted the garden eastward in Eden and there he put the man whom he informed now I want you to picture something and tell me what you see here's Adam he's made he stands up what happens he stands up he sees his creator tell me what you think happened you think he's yesterday looking at God where you looking at me he probably smiles what else happened did he say something well yes welcome says God and Adam says where am I it's you and Eden Who am I your man I just made you God says come where's God taking him to eat in the garden this is your home so what are adamant God doing they are fellowshiping me they're interacting Eva's not yet made you see they're interacting and they go together to the garden the Adams this is a nice please let's go to verse 15 read with me and the Lord God took the man and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress them to keep it tell me what you see yeah he gives them a job he says Adam this is what you do and they're in the garden walking around this is a string I'll keep it clear and the eat else hadn't you take care of this they're interacting they're together follow me closely of course God brings all the animals and he's adamant God are together again let's go to first 21 of chapter 2 all of this is going on before sin keep this in mind before sin verse 21 and the Lord God caught those prawns let me pray first before I go further father in heaven I'm speaking too much without praying again forgive me for that take possession of my mind God please in my tongue tell me what to say how to say it i humble myself before you bless my brothers and sisters in this building and via the internet in Jesus name I pray amen verse 21 and all God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof and the rib which the Lord God had taken from man made he a woman finish that verse and brought now what do we have tell me what you see how many people do you see three named them ha ha and what are they doing associating God is conducting what a marriage they they're together all of this is before sin and Adam said this is not bored of my bone verse 23 and flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman because she was taken out a man this is before sin read verse 25 of chapter 2 and the more both naked the man and his wife and were not afraid or shame mm-hm the man of his wife naked but they had no sense of shame all of this is before sin now let us see how things change after sin verse 8 of chapter 3 you have that not yet you have it read with me what does it say and they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day stop one of the first say they heard this is not hearsay they heard the voice of the Lord God walking where give another word for the garden no no the garden was in Eden as I said Eden here's the world here is Eden than the garden they heard the voice of the Lord God in the garden give me another word for the garden in their hole what does the Bible say and the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden and there he put the man that's where you lived he they heard the voice of the Lord God in the home keep reading and Adam we read in 1st chapter 3 verse 8 and Adam come on and his wife did what hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden not there where are they hiding in their homes they're hiding behind the TV they're hiding behind an iPad they're hiding behind the dishes they're hiding behind you know assignment for work they're hiding behind well I have too many children I can't come to church they're hiding from God in the home have an assignment for school I can't go to prayer meeting hiding from God in the home verse 9 now before we go to verse 9 listen to verse 21 and 22 again of chapter 2 just listening and the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof and the rib which the Lord God had taken from man made he a woman and brought her and so we have fellowship God Adam Eve you said that correctly now here comes God here's Adam here's Eve what happens they're hiding what are they doing - God starts with an a avoiding God not Church they are avoiding God why give me one word sin so the thinking has changed action and a result of thinking the thinking Essenes verse 9 of chapter 3 read with me and the Lord God called unto Adam and said unto Him where art thou and he said I heard thy voice in the garden stop he said what I heard I was invited to church I was invited to prayer meeting I was given the book to read I was given the DVD to watch and I leave me alone I heard thy voice in the garden and I was what afraid come on because I was aha and I hid myself this is exact opposite from the fellowship they enjoyed before sin let me it so sin corrupted the attitude of man to the Creator let's see what else indeed go to chapter 3 let's read verse 17 and onward our subject innocent and condemned what is innocent that's condemned we'll find out it's ten after eight are you in chapter 3 verse 17 read with me and unto Adam he said because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife listen to me put no one's voice ahead of God nobody not your wife not your husband not the reason me not Donald Trump not Vladimir Putin not not not witchdoctor no one's voice ahead of God no one's voice ahead of God and where is the voice of God it's in your hands because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife and has eaten of the tree of which I want commended Lea saying thou shalt not eat of it come on cursed is the ground for thy sake because of sin the ground was cursed he breathing in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life hard work is the result of sin this having to work hard in two jobs and three jobs that's because of sin God's original arrangement was that work would be joy I was telling my sister I read a statistic in the United States most heart attacks occur on Monday morning when people have to face the office again and they can take it most heart attacks occur on Monday morning I don't want to go to this job but it represents rent and food and gas for the car so I have to go very few people enjoy the work they do in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread another curse to that return onto the ground that's death so we have hard work we have fear we have shame we have embarrassment all of this the result of sin let's find out something else that's the result of sin let's go to verse 18 of chapter 3 read for me thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth unto thee and thou shalt eat the herb of the field in other words before sin some things didn't exist after sin things began to sprout plants with thorns there were no thorns so when you try to pick a rose you've got to be very careful because you got to navigate the phones there were no thorns when God made the earth because thorns are a form of defense you see trees have forms to defend themselves in a perfect world against whom are you defending yourself there's no need for defense let's look at another consequence of sin go to verse 16 our subject innocent and condemned verse 16 read with me and the woman he said I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception stop God said you'll give a child you'll give birth in pain and you'll have a lot of them that you can't support I will multiply thy sorrow and thy conception in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children and thy desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rule over thee and I've seen them a woman's natural urge is to follow her husband here's the husband he's a good Christian he leaves the church the woman leaves with him why I have to fall my husband no you don't you have to follow God but that's part of the curse a natural urge to follow your husband and the Bible says he rule over you and women's lives have been made miserable because of that curse all the result give me one word sin but here's another consequence of sin that affects our subject for tonight innocent man condemned let's go back to verse 9 of chapter 3 are you there and the Lord God called unto Adam read with me and said unto Him where art thou and he said what I heard thy voice in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked and I hid myself and he said who told you that that was naked hast thou eat of the tree whereof I commanded thee that I should snotty read verse 12 and the man said the woman whom that gave us to me with me she gave me of the tree and I did eat what is Adam doing blaming that is the consequence of sin listen to me carefully blaming did not exist before sin how many times do I've blamed the husband's for broken relationship then the husbands blamed the wife the students blamed the teacher and the teacher blames the students the student says the teacher is too hard the teacher says the student is too lazy we live in a society where we blame others even when we are the wrong ones the woman thought gave it to me with me she gave me of the tree and I did eat now let's look at the woman verse 13 and unto the woman he said what the Lord God said to the woman what did he say what is this that thou has done finish the verse and woman said the serpent beguiled me and I did it what is she doing blaming listen to me again blaming is the result of sin okay I took you through all of that to bring you back to [Music] this and that what this the law talked about the law for me it is it is just it is good it is spiritual it is truth it is righteous it is perfect it is eternal that's a lot now the carnal nature come on remind me it is deceitful come on it is desperately wicked come on it is unclean huh it is a dense God it is useless now that's what we have what did I say that sin did to the mind it causes us to blame listen to me carefully to blame now listen to the Bible of talking about the law no the first John 5 first John 5 we read verse 3 8:15 first John 5 verse 3 first John towards the back of the Bible do you have that we didn't was it saying for this is the love of God what that we keep his Commandments go on and his Commandments and so we have some it is holy just good it is spiritual it is perfect it is truth it is righteous it is eternal it is easy now listen to me carefully here is the law of God it is all these things holy just good perfect righteous eternal easy here's the carnal nature it is deceitful it is wicked it is hard it is useless do you know people want the law changed because we blame the law am I talking to myself we want the law changed not the nature God says no no no no no I will change your nature so you can appreciate that law because the carnal mind regards that as foolishness the devil has been over successful he gets ministers to stand in pulpits and preach there's no law we blame the innocent party and we condemn God's law and we want the carnal nature to remain as it is don't change it change that the law of God is not Grievous another word for Grievous is hard in other words the law is easy if something happens to the nature was that I want a new heart when that nature is changed its natural behavior is to live in conformity with that listen to Jesus go to Matthew 5 Matthew 5 Matthew 5 let me show you how people will even take the same attitude to God himself when the carnal nature is directing the mind Matthew not Matthew 5 Matthew 8 my mistake Matthew 8 when the carnal mind is in control listen to how we do the same thing to God himself not just his law let's read verse 48 of Matthew 8 well read 47 and then 48 are you with me did I say Matthew no no John 8 Johnny forgive me I it's the weather and blaming the weather you see it's there it's hot son believe me all right John 8 verse 47 and 48 it is part of a long discussion Christ has weave describes in fantasy it's 47 read with me he that is of God come on here is what God's work now pause let me pause on that I'll ask you a question no I will ask I'll just say something there are some people they have a heart for truth when they hear it something goes off in the heart are you following me they may not understand everything but something goes off and they disturbed in a good way Jesus says read it for me again he that is of God come on here if God's words come on ye are there for you hear them therefore not you don't hear them why because ye are not of God listen to the Jews what they tell Jesus read verse 48 and said unto him what say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and has the devil now stop what are they accusing Christ of being demon-possessed now how do you accuse god of being demon-possessed that is what the carnal mind will do it will confuse you to the point where you call God Satan you demon-possessed there talking to God the one who said let there be light he was in human form but this is Christ equally the father who being the brightness of his glory and the Express image of his person and upholding all things by the word of his power in the carnal mind they call God demon possessed my brothers and sisters the carnal mind looks at God's law and says it needs to be done away with because it is bothering the carnal nature let us go to another verse I'll come it doesn't come to my mind I'll get to it this blaming which is the result of sin well let's go to first John three it just came back to me first John three we read for and we'll read five microscopically it is twenty after eight thank you for being so patient you are first John three four five read with me nice and out I want only the ladies to read King James Version read with me whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law why sin is the transgression of the law that's what sin is which means if you remove the law what have you removed sin now read verse five carefully now with me everybody and you know uh-huh that he was manifest who is he Jesus Christ he was sent manifested to do odd come on and in him now concentrate I'm coming to the end listen to verse five and II know well as God for first whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law for sin is a chance now we have two things mentioned in verse four what are the two things sin come on and the law to things mention sin in law now keep that in mind go to verse five read verse five carefully now what does it say and you know that he was manifested stopped to take away one of the two things mentioned in verse four what are the two things mentioned in for sin and what was Christ manifested to take away sin which meant that he left what the law now the verse says in him come on finish verse five in him now if there's no sin in him what does that mean that he didn't have yes but what did he not have he had no no well you're right but he had no listen again sin is the transgression of the law if there's no sin in Jesus he had no or give me another word he had no starts with a deep now that's true all right he had D is obe he had no disobedience if he has no sin he has no disobedience because sin is disobedience to God's law the law is condemned by Christians and it's innocent the law is on the gallows the laws on the guillotine its innocent and the carnal nature runs the whole world the most blessed life you can live is a life of obedience to God not selective obedience total obedience as God reveals steel let me ask you this remember when God gave instructions to Moses for the construction of the Ark and all the furnishings of the temple the tabernacle Exodus 20:5 chapter 25 - chapter 40 which one of those details did Moses change no you know how many details they were details for the Ark details for the mercy seat details for the cherubim on the mercy seat details for the curtain details for the roof details for the candlestick details for the altar of incense details for the seven-branch candelabrum I said the the the shrub read details for also sacrifice details for the Laver details for the animal to be prompt details for a closing to be worn by the priests and on what day details for the responsibilities of the priests and the responsibilities of the Levite details details details could not chose one detail when his lights were conducting a very first Passover in Exodus 12 there were details they had to take the animal apart on the tenth day they had to kill it on the 14th day it had to be a male of the first year it had to be without blemish they have to eat it standing up they have to eat it with unleavened bread they have to eat it with bitter herbs they had to splash the blood with a bunch of hyssop the blood had to be on the crossbar another - sidebar they had to do all of that if they had failed in one detail the destroying angel would have entered that house we love to say when I see the blood when I see the blood when I see that you took it on the tenth day when I see that you kill it on the fourteenth day when I see that you kill it in the evening when I see that you eat it with you edit with eleven brain and you apply the blood with a bunch of hyssop when I see all of that I'll pass over you listen to me Jesus died because the law was broken he died for sin now what is sin the transgression that's how much Christ values his law you know it was Christ who spoke the law on Sinai the father was present but it was Christ you see first Timothy 2 verse 5 says there's one god and one what mediator between God and man and men the man Christ Jesus now if the father had spoken the law there will be no need for mediator on Sinai Christ has been a mediator from the time Adam sinned now because Christ acts at the commission of the father it is correct to say the father spoke but he spoke through Jesus it was the voice of Christ that said remember the Sabbath day it was the voice of Christ that said thou shalt not commit adultery that price when we love it was his voice and it was the voice of Christ that says except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of God in the kingdom of heaven it was the voice of Christ in Matthew chapter 5 and when he said you must exceed he proceeded to give examples of excessive righteousness you've heard that it was said by them of old time thou shalt not kill and whosoever killeth shall be deirdre the judgment but I say unto you whosoever is angry with his brother now Christ goes from not killing physically to not killing spiritually he shows what exceeding righteousness is and he goes to the law to give us examples of righteousness that exceeds you've heard it was said by them of old time thou shalt not commit adultery but I say unto you whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery up here Jesus goes from physical adultery to spiritual you can do it here and you condemned by God this is righteousness that exceeds and the example he uses he gets from his law which he spoke let me slow down and come to an end there listen to me my beloved friends the law of God is innocent but has been universally condemned because one of the terrible consequences of sin is to place blame on somebody else and so people would love to have the law changed to suit their carnal nature instead of having God's choice the carnal nature to match it up with his righteous law and so the Bible says let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter come on say it with me fear God and keep his Commandments so this is the whole duty of man the next verse is frightening for God shall bring every work into judgment he judges it by the law James says so speak II have so do as they that shall be charged he says live your life as if you realize you'll be judged by the standard expressed in God's law because the righteousness of the law is the righteousness of God himself my brothers and sisters God's law is innocent and condemned you know who else was innocent and condemned Jesus Christ let me tell you who the devil doesn't like then I'll close listen to this verse and the dragon was wroth with the woman that's revelation 12:17 but don't go there in prophecy a woman is a church the dragon is a devil the dragon the devil was wroth angry with the woman the church now which church that keep the commandments of God the Bible is clear the devil only hates people who keep God's command here the wheat here the tares whom does the devil hate do we hear the sheep hear the goats whom does the devil hate here's the lawbreaker here's the Lawkeeper woman is the devil hate the Lawkeeper the Lawkeeper the devil hates god's law and if you obey God the devil hates you but the devil is so successful because we're born with a nature that naturally hates God you see so the devil has an advantage he works on something with which we come into the world but God counteracts that by showing us his love and there's no greater expression of God's love than the death of his son on Calvary and God says look I died for you can you follow me the devil is trying to kill you why do you follow him let me say it again God says I died for you follow me the devil is trying to kill you and most people follow the devil now they don't see that because they go to church but the proof that you're not following God is a life of sustained disobedience not an occasional mistake a life of sustained disobedience is all the proof that a man or a woman is not following God even though the person may be in church every weekend singing loudly I want to do what makes the devil angry are you listening to me I want to do what makes the devil angry and there's only one thing that makes him angry that's obedience to God what's the only way to show love for God obey Him that's what he said what does John 14:15 say if he come on that's the only way God tells us there's no other way to show there is no other way you don't show love for God by coming to church six times a week you sure left with God by obeying him now the only way to obey God is to do what is to be his law then in order for you to in order for the devil to get you to stop loving God what does he have to do destroy that thing by which you express your love are you with me no you're not are you with me how do you show love for God come on tell me there's no other way the devil knows that so he says so how can I get them to stop loving God let me remove the only method God has arranged for them to love him and that method is obey his law the devil is not intimidated because you go to church he goes to church the people who said crucify him they go to church the Devils most effective agents are in church not in the bars of the casinos in church because no one expects them to be there you see the most effective spy is the spine that blends in are you following me it looks like everybody else that's the most effective spy not James Bond in an Aston Martin too conspicuous the most effective Spy is the one who looks like your neighbor so the devil sends his people to church I'll tell you something the devil converts people what's this quotation mark you see the devil converts people and sends them into church to get converts listen to me obey God ask God to change you don't ask God to change him ask God to change you how many of you will say Lord thank you for your word tonight can I see your right hand all right it's 8:35 I need to ask you a couple questions what's wrong with God's law describe it for me perfect come on holy just good spiritual perfect truth eternal okay describe the carnal nature deceitful that's a wicked disobedient useless unclean can that nature understand that no spiritual things to understand something spiritual that mine has to change how many of you will say with me and David Lord created me a clean heart can I see your right hand hands down stand with me I'll tell you what a clean heart is have you ever heard of the New Covenant say yes or no you know what God does under the New Covenant what does the Bible say he does he puts the law where in your heart the same once spoken on Sinai and written on stone he puts it in here that's all standards are not changed conditions are not change he just moves it from storm and puts it right here that's the way it was with Abraham and Noah and you know right here and when it's in the heart we do it gladly there's bad ice close there god we thank you for your word we thank you Father for the simplicity of truth when studied honestly we thank you that God that away has been made not to change your standard of righteousness but to change us to bring us into conformity with your law help us to understand the god you'll never lower your standards you raise humanity and Calvary is the method you've chosen to lift us up to that level of your righteous law so that your mind our minds can be won once again Father in heaven give us a spiritual mind that we with that spiritual mind might understand
