the day is none other than pastor elizabeth mokoro pastor elizabeth mokoro is a pastor coming from us and his marriage to none other than elizabeth then mr mokoro they are blessed with five children my name is eldar juleta bisay may you be blessed at the feet of jesus coming in is patrick aundy who is coming to leaders through prayer session thank you shall we pray eternal father god in heaven father we thank you for this special privilege that you have accorded and to each and every one of us we know that such mighty evangelistic campaign that goes viral the devil is not happy with them how we ask you that such demonic influences you may throw them away and paralyze them in a special way how we pray my father that you will accord each and every one of us according to our needs father in heaven we ask you that as pastor is coming in each and every family that is going to be taught you will incline them towards the meeting you by the sea of glass celebrating in the heavenly oracles that will be there for eternity father we ask you that you may meet each and every one of us according to our points of needs pastor elizabeth is coming further my god i ask you that you may touch her lips with a burning coal so that her sins may be purged as you remember those who listen to you it is my humble prayer that you will also touch her in according to what she has done forgive her her our sins and father i ask that you may also remember her family as she will be talking it is my prayer that my family be part of that family that will be blessed it is also my prayer that another family also prays so may your will be done as you prepare us for eternity now and forevermore we pray in jesus name the lord is good the lord is good and all the times we want to complete what we had begun yesterday it will take me about a minute or two and we should be done yesterday we were talking about witchcraft allow me to remind us that witchcraft is so real there is a soul that believes it does not work and i've had christians say me i don't believe in witchcraft the devil does not need you to believe it whether you believe it or not the reality is he exists and he walks through witchcraft ellen white says that he has an inconceivable advantage over us for the simple fact that we are ignorant of his wiles so we don't need you to believe or not [Music] witchcraft is so real if it was not real it wouldn't even be in the bible in the first place so yesterday we said you can raise an altar to god you can raise an altar to the devil when you raise an altar to god we seed you summon his presence and when he comes he comes with blessings you enter into a covenant with him that permits him to run your life and finally you bind all the generations to come to partake of the blessings that come with that covenant when you raise an altar to the devil on the other side you summon demons to come when they come they don't come with blessings they come with cuts you enter into a covenant with the devil and so you bind all your generations to that covenant and they partake of the cases come with that covenant what we are calling generational cases so we said you have two people that have just met in church innocent don't even know what generational casters are they could be partaking of this cases courtesy of forefathers courtesy of grandparents parents that have visited the witch doctor so when they meet the classes begin to play in their family they have no idea what is going on they begin a battle that is physical and it never it never ends allow me say three things to finish yesterday's presentation one if you are the one that made the visit to endor or to go see a witch doctor you will get temporary relief yes whatever you want you will get but your descendants will have to deal with the generational cases your children your grandchildren great grandchildren you you have a relief but your descendants will have to deal with the cases that come with a visit to the witch doctor number two if it is a friend or a stranger or a relative that probably might not be happy with your marriage they are there there are women that just want your husband men that just want your wife and they know how to get them they will go visit a witch doctor raise an altar to the devil if such is the case then you need to know how to destroy evil altars we will look at that probably in the course of next week number three if it was a visit made by forefathers then you need to know how to break the generational cases we will look at that in the course of next week for today allow me handle a different subject i am sorry it might not go well with you but i pray the holy spirit will minister to you i have titled it should your fountains be dispersed abroad is a question we are asking should your fountains be dispersed abroad allow me begin by saying but if we cannot get it right in marriage and family we now understand its purpose if we can't get it right it's pure deception to think you have a connection with heaven because if family is a unit where we build a character for heaven and you don't get it that way and you still think you have a connection with heaven it is pure deception the ultimate aim of saturn is to entice you into sin that locks you out of heaven he's still bitter with the fact that he can no longer be received into heaven and there is no possibility of his being reinstated in the favor of god he knows it he equally understands the rules that safeguard marriage and knows that we are not i mean we are ignorant of these rules so ignorant he knows that failure to uphold these rules failure to uphold these principles living in disobedience a violation of these rules results in a tumbling down of this institution which actually thwarts god's plan so allow me to handle sexual immorality yeah it will get a little bit uncomfortable because we don't talk about it on the pulpit but i pray the lord will speak to you sexual immorality is the devil's most effective tool in bringing down marriages and family units the same way eve and adam were constantly warned of the schemes of the devil is the same way we have also been warned if you look at the first four commandments they're about our love to god the next set of six commandments are about our love to men two of these six commandments two of them is an emphasis on the scene of sexual immorality commandment number seven says do not commit adult commandment number 10 says do not convert another man's wife and many other texts in the bible that warn us against sexual immorality now understand that marriage is a spiritual covenant that is mild and avoided only through death once you get into marriage there is a spiritual covenant that you get into it is one there are never two never three or four it can only be terminated by death and that is why when paul is writing he's saying that a woman is bound by law for as long as her husband lives but if he dies he's she's at liberty to get married to whoever she wishes in the law allow me say categorically the other people apart from your covenant spouse let me emphasize that covenants can never be broken never they are binding any other person apart from your covenant spouse that we commit with the sexual sin and not girlfriends they are not baby mamas they are not mistresses they are not pango a condo they are not even co-wives no they are strange women as the bible calls it that have been introduced to us by the devil himself get it right their presence in our lives does not now does not void the spiritual covenant with your wife or with the wife of your youth the fact that there is a co-wife it does not terminate the spiritual covenant between you and the wife of your youth does it and so for me these are terms that that the devil is allowing us to use them to be able to normalize and accept the counterfeit gift he has to offer and because a woman would lower herself to the level of a strange woman and fail to recognize that you are the wife that the heavens recognizes you're bound to quit say i choose to move on you don't fight with a strange woman like you are on the same level no you don't sexual immorality is not just a weapon aimed at the married but also members of the family our very own children the word the bible uses i love it it's a greek word it is called porneia it refers to sexual and sensual excesses and indulgence of every kind of extramarital unlawful or unnatural sexual intercourse and so we are talking about adultery we are talking about fornication we are talking about rape we are talking about pornography we are talking about masturbation homosexuality incest polygamy bestiality prostitution if you find yourself in one of those it is called sexual immorality a whole rotten package that affects society from the youngest to the oldest why is the devil succeeding with this weapon why number one don't forget that his main aim is that you do not occupy the vacancies that he left in heaven this is one of those sins that locks you out of heaven for the sake of one that probably was not here in our previous discourses allow me just repeat it first corinthians chapter six it locks you out of heaven first corinthians chapter 6 9-10 do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of god do not be deceived neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor homosexuals nor sodomites and the vices continue and paul is saying they cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven so the devil knows it once he engages you in that sin he knows you are technically locked out of heaven so if christ was to come today in our impenitent state many will lose heaven with an inch including our children it's the one scene with a ripple effect it locks you out of heaven with as many people as you engage with in this scene listen to proverbs chapter 5 proverbs chapter 5. proverbs 5. listen to what the bible says proverbs chapter 5 alduvas 5 8 and 9 the bible says have feet go down to death that strange woman the one you call a baby mama you are co-parenting with those are the times we use today we are co-parenting i've had another time that has come for marriage it's called open marriages someone says i'm married but my marriage is open open in the sense that both partners are allowed to engage in sexual immorality affair with other people her feet go down to death her steps lay hold of hell [Music] but seven says verse eight remove your way from her and do not go near the door of her house why is the bible saying you don't go near the door of her house elsewhere paul says that what is the word flee from sexual immorality to mean what sexual immorality is not a challenge to be met it is a trap to be fled from so when someone engages you in that discussion you don't entertain them you don't play along it requires no discussion so you can't say let me just go nothing will happen let me just go nothing will happen that will happen lest you give your honor to others and your ears to the cruel one and i've seen young men that have wasted their years with strange women today they're in their 60s and they're looking back at life and they're saying i would have built a good house if i had not wasted that many with women out there but it's too late it is late irresponsibility is one of the things that arises from sexual immorality people become irresponsible they forget about their wives forget about their children a woman comes and cries this guy has never called this guy never comes home this guy doesn't know what to eat it is a result of sexual immorality vast 10 is painful vast 10 says lest aliens be filled with your wealth look at how the bible calls it aliens strange people are filled with your your your wealth yes it makes them with all the true forgiveness and they will tell you i can forgive this i can forgive this i can forgive this but this one i doubt this guy what he has done in my life this one i cannot forgive they leave with an unforgiving heart you know too well that when we fail to forgive god himself cannot forgive us and we perish in our iniquity and lose eternal life so as we engage in sexual immorality the other spouse is left in bitterness that locks are also out of heaven so the devil has both of you wrapped up around his fingers and many times these spouses are always eager to revenge and not only that at times they will say i will also remarry [Music] to revenge if he can do it i can also do it and as we remarry we continue the cycle of adultery in our lives and i've told young women if you want to get married look for a single man don't even look for one that tells you my wife left is now 10 years they always come back and they must be buried in that home in fact she will not come but the day you just say i do she shows up you told me you will not accept her you she has come to her house our home number three what does it do to the children remember children are innocent in all these choices that we make very innocent and when you have multiple children with multiple women they live a fatherless life which impacts on their psychosocial life you and i know how jacob's house look like and i'm here to see a polygamous home where there is peace i'm yet to see [Music] i've not come across any a polygamous setup where there is peace i'm yet to see it it will never experience peace because it was never the design of god he has never sanctioned polygamy will never sanction polygon never they have lots of pieces missing in their life many of them if not guided well relieve the life of their parents and it's a replication with no end listen to me good they're more likely to run away from home how many have run away from their homes because life is tough they are more likely to commit suicide they are more likely to have behavioral disorders they are more likely to become sexually aggressive they are more likely to get into drugs and substance abuse tell me if those are godly children this and many more produced and godly children and remember malacca is saying that god has instituted marriage because he needs a godly spree so at the end of the day the devil takes the trophy home sexual immorality in all its forms we cannot be uncomfortable with homosexuality and get comfortable with polygamy we cannot get comfortable with adultery and get uncomfortable with homosexuality they all in the same class and what pains me the most is the fact that our very own that are saying are going to heaven are engaged in the same we must separate it from our religious experience it is not normal it cannot be acceptable it has never been sexual immorality i've said in all its forms are demonic spirits aimed at marriage and family to lock us out of heaven the question you're battling with right now i know is pastor what therefore do i do with a sexually immoral spouse they can be they can be women and i see ourselves getting comfortable with men getting sexually immoral when it's a woman they say it's not acceptable whether it's women or men it is unacceptable and things have happened in families children neglected i met this one kiss of a husband who is adulterous incestuous homosexual they have just married they have not even stayed two months and the wife realizes that he sleeps with his own brother a brother say mother that is your husband so it is homosexuality it is incestuous it is adulterous there are things when a christian comes and tells you what do i do you will need to look for god for a month to tell them what to do and if it finds a spouse that does not know god i don't blame them for walking out because they don't know god i have met children that are pleading with me talk to my mother to come back home talk to my father to come back home children a young girl i met when i was preaching in a school and she was crying and saying my mother's first marriage didn't work so she left with the two of us my brother and i and she contracted another marriage this is a form two girl this our other father this girl explains does not like my brother he beats him every day at times strangling him almost to death he does the same thing with my mother i'm tired of seeing my mother being beaten if you will ever choose to walk out of marriage i don't have answers but i'm saying remaining single is a lesser evil you don't get anything out there you don't for the sake of your children that become vulnerable i'm sorry it had to turn out like this but we must talk about it we shall look at the answers in the course of next week at the moment i'm praying with someone who's going through that situation and i'm saying hold on yeah social media will tell you until you die [Music] saying hold on in the strength of god not the arms of flesh on the everlasting arms you see if god will not do it for you our heavenly father it is messy it is dirty it is so dark but we made those choices it is never too late with you for your long suffering as one of your children purposes to come back to their senses and come back home i pray that your arms that move this world will hold them firmly and create beauty out of that which is ugly for the man a woman that has to go through this terrible ordeal i pray the lord you make a special visitation that father that will experience peace that surpasses all understanding to know that we can stand still and see the salvation of the lord there is nothing impossible with you unless you tell us today that there are things you cannot handle but the much i know about you is that there is nothing that is beyond your power to redeem have mercy on us and remodel our marriages and our families to the glory and honor of your name because this we have asked in jesus holy name amen [Music] is [Music] [Music] foreign foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] yes [Music] yes [Music] foreign

requests and then we shall go into the message for today the questions today are very simple the first one is asking you just one simple thing according to galatians chapter 4 and verse 6 it says that jesus came to redeem those who are under the law that we might receive the adoption of sons we talked about adoption yesterday is that verse saying that is that true or false galatians chapter 4 verse 6 is talking about the adoption as sons that we have been adopted in the family of god true or false question number two according to the book of romans the book of romans chapter number 5 romans 5 the verse is 21 says that we are seeing rain grace did much more rain where seen rained grace did much more rain [Music] romans chapter 5 and verse number 21 now here is a bonus question those two may seem easy but i don't think they are here is a bonus one romans chapter five and verse eight it says but god demonstrates his own love toward us that while we were still sinners christ died for us romans chapter 5 the vice is number eight is that true or false so your first question was from galatians 4 6 the second one is romans 5 21 the third one is romans 8 romans 5 verse 8 are they saying those things that i said send your answers now as we move to prayer today we are praying for katherine from uganda catherine is listening to us from uganda and she says her daughter has swelling

in your prayers our god still answers prayers let us pray now heavenly father we thank you for catherine who has been watching from uganda and lord is praying for the daughter was swelling around her breast lord they don't know what it is that we are praying lord that you may bring a revelation that you may guide them o lord even to find a physician who can lay their fear as to what that swelling is all about and lord after they have known what it's all about we are praying to that you go beyond that and bring healing and restoration because the word says that by your stripes we were healed there is nothing too hard for you so bring revelation about what it is and then follow on to bring healing for your own glory and guidance as to what needs to be done and we want to thank you for that our father because we believe in you we have confidence in your power to heal and to restore we want to lift up emily from nairobi before you whose son has been sick for three months is now in a coma

remind her right now that god whom we worship is a god who is able jesus whom we serve is the same one who rose from the dead and said that because i live you will live also so we are praying oh lord

the recent savior amen amen i want to thank you all for joining me in prayer as i've said before there is power in prayer god has told us pray i said men and women always ought to pray and never to give up it doesn't matter what the situation is like we still pray because at the core of our faith we believe that god not only heals but god has power to raise the dead back to life tonight i want to talk to you about the subject of beyond beyond beyond redemption my slides tonight are not working so i will not be able to bless you with my slides but i will take my bible in my hands and tell you what i wanted to show you on that screen beyond redemption many of us talk about salvation and we focus our minds on salvation but we are forgetting that the plan of redemption that was there from the foundation of the world goes beyond salvation there is something bigger than salvation i want to thank thank my technical team they have quickly heard my voice and brought my staff for you who are watching to be able to see and i'm testing if it is working and yes it is beyond redemption is what i'm talking about today i want to begin by reading a passage that is on the screen for those who are watching from from your homes or listening to me the text is second corinthians chapter 5 and verse 18 to 21 in this passage of corinthians paul has said mighty things that it is important for every one of us to know the apostle paul was a jew when he describes himself he says that i am a hebrew of hebrews i'm a pure blooded hebrew i am of the tribe of benjamin and i was educated i was among the pharisees the pharisees was the strictest of all the the sects of believers in god during those days they were people who are ready to observe the law and die for that very law he says i belong to them and when it comes to following his faith paul says i was ready to persecute the church i was going all out for my faith when i met jesus on the way to damascus going to destroy the believers in christ and he met jesus who knocked him off his donkey and jesus says man paul don't fight me you just can't fight me you won't win this battle it is hard for you to kick against the gods that's what it means says this gospel you can't stop it paul and paul asked who are you lord and he said i'm jesus whom you are persecuting from that day paul saul of texas became paul the apostle paul and so now he writes that the things that were given to me these ones i now count but laws christ totally revolutionized the life of paul when he understood what was taking place in the life in the death in the burial in the resurrection of christ paul says that what was happening is is beyond human understanding and so here he writes and he tells us if i read for you verse 14 he says that for the love of christ compels us because we judged us that if one man died for all then all died you need you and i need to appreciate the significance of the death of christ number one it is what brought reconciliation to us reconciliation in the bible biblical reconciliation is different from the way we understand reconciliation on earth in the bible god is the one who was in christ reconciling the world unto himself according to second corinthians chapter 5 and verse 18 he says now all these are of god who has reconciled us to himself through jesus christ and has given unto us the ministry of reconciliation that is that god was in christ reconciling the world to himself not imputing their trespasses to them and has committed to us the word of reconciliation and so beloved the word that we are presenting before you here is a word of reconciliation god was in christ reconciling the world unto himself god did his part already that which separated us from god god has already accomplished for us in christ jesus he has done his part but he has also now committed to us the message of reconciliation before we are reconciled to god god wants us to know what he has done and they say that he has reached out to us listen to what god has done according to this passage verse 21 for he made him who knew no sin to be seen for us that we might become the righteousness of god in him god made christ to be seen for us beloved on the cross jesus became sin for us god could not look at him he cried to god my god my god why hast thou forsaken me beloved he was forsaken that you and i might be accepted god laid upon him the iniquity that was not his so that god may lay upon us the righteousness which was not ours god made the great exchange at the cross jesus took our place with our sins upon him let me read that to you and i think those of you who are going for baptism you need to get this very clearly turn to first peter chapter 2 and verse 24. listen to what it says that christ himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree that we having died to sins might live for righteousness by whose stripes you were healed he bore our sins on his body that's what the bible is saying he took ourselves on himself he clothed himself with humanity as it was that's why the humanity of christ is crucial you need to understand don't listen to people who are telling you that jesus was different from us beloved that is an abuse to god it's abuse to the bible i told you yesterday this is the constitution of heaven don't change it don't add to it i know it is difficult for us to appreciate that jesus was like us beloved he needed to be like us he was god of very god but he clothed himself listen to me he clothed himself he took upon himself our fallen nature that needed to die and that's why the bible is saying that how that he took he himself brought our sins in his own body on the tree so when he went to the tree when he went to that cross of calvary you and i went with him that's why paul is saying that we have come to this conclusion this is what demonstrates to us the love of god that one man who died if he died then all died that is key to understanding who you and i are in christ jesus one man died for all all died in him he took our sins upon himself to that to the cross and that we might die to sin beloved that was the purpose and live for righteousness and by whose strives we have been healed so when we are talking about reconciliation beloved we are talking about the activity of god not what we have done here is the big difference in in in the wild religious movements man makes an effort to be reconciled with god but in the biblical story is god who comes down calling the hound of heaven he's the one who comes down he's the one who looks for us he's the one who is searching for us until he finds us and then is the one who lays down his life for us and calls us back saying come back to me i have reconciled you to myself our message to you therefore is be reconciled to god accept what god has done for us so yes there is reconciliation the message of grace that brings reconciliation to us also transforms us into children of god when god accepts us into his family yesterday i started talking to you about adoption and i remember telling you very clearly that you cannot a mad person cannot adopt somebody because when you adopt somebody that person takes upon himself the identity of the one who has adopted him you use the name of that person and you cannot and adopt whether that child is good or bad the child becomes yours forever but there is something that goes beyond that that you and i need to look at today and that's what i call beyond redemption there is something way beyond redemption in this matter our salvation is not just restoration and being brought back into the family of god but there is something special god has done in this process of adoption there is something which if you can understand it properly through the help of the holy spirit beloved i promise you you will never be the same again here it is walk with me through scripture galatians chapter four and verse five listen to what the bible says very carefully and then go back and read it prayerfully chapter four and verse number seven six and seven the bible says galatians 4 6 says and because you are sons five said that you have received the adoption as sons and then the bible says and because you are sons god has sent forth the spirit of his son into your hearts crying out our father beloved that is restoration remember in the beginning in the garden of eden man had the spirit of god's dwelling in him and now because we are reconciled back to god through the blood of jesus now the spirit of god comes back to dwell in you why because you want i want to emphasize that the bible is not saying that we shall be sons the bible is not saying that god will make our sins or god wants us to be his sons that the bible is declaring that we are sons and the word used here in the original language which is greek in the new testament the word used for you and i as being sons of god is the same word fears which is used for jesus being the son of god beloved that is significant that is something you need to listen to god is saying that because of our union with christ because of his love for us he has brought us into union with christ his son and made us one with his sons to the extent that now god calls you sons and then he says because you are a son because you are a daughter by the way that word son is generic it means male and female it's the bible is not just talking about the male man it is the male man and the female man put together when he's talking about sons in this place that's why in other places we are referring to our sons and daughters it means the same thing and so it says because you are not in order to be because you are sons and daughters of the living god god has sent forth the spirit of his son in your hearts crying out alba father the word alba is a very dear word in the original historical communities where they use the word alba alba is like daddy and there is something about daddy let me use this illustration there's a day when the president of the nation visited us and we were screened so many times it is important that that screening is done because there's some mad people whose intentions you may not know i totally agree that that screening is necessary that when they finally sat down you can't watch the video when they finally sat down i saw another young man who just walked among the security guys and nobody touched him and he went so close to the president dangerously close that he went all by himself and i wondered who is that person they told me that is his son you see there's a difference you are a son of god now do you know that what that means that means that you have right of entry you have access to the father you don't need a man to intercede for you with god you are a son you are a daughter you have right of entry into the presence of god beloved that is good news at any one place any one time if you need to call god do not write a story to read to god god is looking at you as a son hear me very clearly because of what god has done for us in christ jesus beloved your status has changed god when he reconciled us to himself in christ jesus when he met jesus to become sin for us and we became his righteousness in christ jesus hear me god now looks at you and at me just as if we had never committed a single sin but you give praise to god the father the son and the holy spirit praise the name of the living god imagine filthy as you might have been imagine wherever you have been the doubt you have had in your life the bible is saying that god now looks at you and me just as if you had never committed a single sin hallelujah that is what it means to be reconciled to god god was not counting your sins god does not see the things that you have committed when he looks at you this is the good news beloved when god looks at you he's seeing you he's seeing his son the lord jesus christ let me put it this way at the baptism of jesus christ god a voice came from heaven and said this is my beloved son in whom i am well pleased beloved in our union with christ when you also receive christ jesus go through the waters of baptism and rise and receive the spirit of the living god beloved god looks at you just as if you had never committed a single sin and god says this is my son in whom i am well pleased i i don't know where you're watching from but you need just to tap your feet on the ground or clap your hands and tell yourself that god is pleased with you because you believe in the lord jesus christ amen he is pleased with you and i believe you need to know that god is pleased with you so that you can have power to face life we are living in tough times we're living in town time times when even the people you think are your friends may not be your friend even the people who you think loves you may betray you these are tough times these are times of stress these are times of anxieties but when you know deep down in your heart that god is pleased with you that god is your father then you know that there is nothing that can keep you down that's why paul writes and says that in christ we are more than conquerors no matter what happens no matter what the devil may bring in your life beloved you are more than a conqueror in christ jesus this is the powerful word that we are getting here when you are listening to this word adoption as sons because your sons god has sent the spirit and you're not just calling god uh our father what in heaven that is wonderful that is alba our daddy who is in heaven god is asking you to realize that the reconciliation he has brought is bringing you much closer to him i want us to explore this a little bit from the word of god it says therefore verse 7 you are no longer a slave but a son and if a son then an heir of god through christ let me remind you this one calls for thinking the bible is using a language of reasoning he's saying if then if this is true then the other one is also true if you are a son then you are an heir of god through christ beloved you are more than redeemed you have become an heir of god listen to what is written in ephesians chapter 2 and i'm reading verse verse number 19 he says now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of god beloved when you crossed over into the kingdom of god through faith in jesus christ remember we read in colossians chapter 1 verse 13 and 14 that in christ we have crossed over we are not trying to enter into the kingdom beloved if you believe in jesus you are already in the kingdom of god you are not an outsider you are an insider you are an insider not as a stranger but you are an insider as a son of the living god you are inside as a citizen of the living god hallelujah your citizenship the bible says in philippians chapter 3 and verse 20 21 it says our citizenship is in heaven you and i are just a colony of heaven on earth if i may use that language that's why when you become a christian you need to focus your attention in heaven you need to learn the heavenly language you need to dress and look like like heaven you need to speak like one who knows that you are a citizen of heaven who is living on planet earth we have an agenda here on earth to call everyone to faith in jesus christ because god is not willing beloved that you should perish and so no matter what you are going through in life today no matter what the challenge the enemy might bring in you i mean bring to you and challenge you with to try to keep you down my sister i want you to rise my brother i want you to rise and i want you to tell yourself that the devil will not keep you down he cannot keep you down because your life is healed with christ in god he cannot touch your real life for the bible says in colossians chapter three and verse three and four that christ is our life yes mister he may touch your body yes he may touch your finances yes he may touch your family yes you might even die maybe you're watching from the hospital maybe you are in bed maybe you've been lying in that bed for so long and you are wondering when god will heal you let me tell you even if he does not heal you you are still a daughter you are still a son of the living god that's the good news he may touch your body this one he may touch the bible says that flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom of god the bible says that he has prepared for us a body like the body of christ we shall not rot so even in your sickness praise the name of the living god this is what gives you power in your sickness to praise god in your poverty to praise god in your confusion to praise god in the challenges in your home you can still praise god because jesus is your life your life is healed with christ in god and so you are an heir of the living god and so we are reading this ephesians chapter 2 and it is saying that you are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with their saints and members of the household of god forgive me for getting excited but you need to know what this means you see he's saying that you're not just citizens you are members of the household of god you know they are citizens and citizens did you hear what i said they are citizens and citizens everybody is a citizen but the bible is saying you are more than a citizen you belong to the household of god that means you are in a circle remember what the bible is saying the bible is saying beloved that you share with christ you have become one with christ jesus the bible says in ephesians chapter 2 verse 6 you go back and read aliyah it's saying that god raised us up together with christ and then god made us sit together with christ in the heavenly places in the book of revelations jesus says that they that overcome shall sit with me on my throne even as i overcame and sat with my father on his throne this is where i'm heading to you are more than redeemed you are more than restored you are more than reconciled the bible is saying that you are exalted god has united us with christ god has exalted humanity when you read the book of daniel daniel chapter 7 13 14 the bible says and i saw one like the son of man coming with the clouds of heaven he approached the throne beloved hear what the bible is saying isaiah saw it long time ago he said the government shall be on his shoulders revelations saw it don't saw it and daniel also saw it he said i so warm like the son of man you know when jesus saw told the sanhedrin those his persecutors those who arrested him when they questioned him and he told them that from this time you'll see the son of man the high priest all his stress and said this is blasphemy because they knew the son of man to be the the messiah to be the son of god and this human being standing here with his hands handcuffed he's calling himself the son of man he said what more are you waiting for take him out and crucify him by the way why were they talking of crucifying him among the jews if you blasphemed god you were torn but there's a secret they also knew that the bible says that the one who hangs on a tree is cast by god galatians chapter 3 verse 13. he who hangs on the tree is cursed the bible says they wanted jesus to be closed forever but when you read the word of god the word is saying that jesus became a curse for us that the blessing may come upon us beloved he is the son of god but here is the good news here is the good news in heaven right now on the throne of god there is a son of man did you hear what i said there is one like the son of man what i'm trying to say what the bible is saying is that humanity has transcended and reached the throne of god and humanity is seated before the throne of god in christ jesus jesus is today in heaven in bodily form he will remain in bodily form forever forever there's somebody who wrote a book and uh let me not go into that because in that book somebody appears to a child to a lady and says i'm christ and she wants to see the the scars and this being is saying no my daughter if i show you the scars you will cry again and i don't want you cry then i knew that was the demo because you have if you had offered his hands there would be no scars those scars will be there with christ forever they will be the eternal reminder of the grace of god and so beloved we are highly represented i'm saying for you to face life you need to know that there can be no obstacle that can stop you from reaching god you are represented in heaven as a matter of fact some of you here if you are a brother to the president of this nation even sitting here might be difficult for you i might be just wasting your time you might be wanting to go and do something in high places what i'm trying to say if you're close to power you begin to feel that power in yourselves you know there are people who when the president is walking they just say and i've been in communication i know they say please take my photo with the president and if they succeed to take a photo with their presidents you move to their house the first thing you will see is the photo that he or she took with a president or somebody important we all want to identify with somebody important hear me clearly you can identify with important people of earth but if you are a child of god you can identify with the most important man that ever lived the lord jesus christ you are a brother you are a sister you are accepted in him he is ascended and you are seated with him so we are saying that this goes beyond redemption this is exaltation of the human race does the bible say that turn with me to romans chapter 8 romans chapter 8 and now the bible is saying jesus is saying in verse 15 for you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear but you receive the spirit of adoption by whom we cry out our father same thing is repeated here the spirit that god gives us beloved the holy spirit who comes into us is not a spirit of fear the bible says greater is him who is in you than the one that is in the world that means that whatever situation you are going through face it with courage the spirit that god gives you is the spirit of love it's the spirit of courage it's the spirit of a sound mind and by that spirit we cry our father then listen to what the bible says the spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of god one of the joys of having the holy ghost in your life is that he comes to bear testimony that indeed you are a child of the living this is meant for you to be able to rejoice in the means of your challenges and to look up unto god and to focus your work focus your life on god alone walk with him because you are reconciled you are restored but you have also been lifted up into his presence verse 17 says and if children notice the word again if this is calling you to think i'm saying and repeat need to think because a time is coming beloved when your mind will be challenged it might be sickness it will challenge your mind it might be constant failure it will challenge your mind it will make you ask where is god beloved if you know what the word of god is saying you will be able to say with job though he's led me yet will i trust him you'll be able to know that god is good and no matter the enemy what whatever the enemy might bring in your life god is still good you will be able to glorify god because you know that you know it is written in your mind it is sealed in your mind the goodness of god so the spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of god and then he says and if children then heirs heirs of god and then guess what joint heirs with christ if indeed we suffer with him that we might also be glorified with him beloved you are a joint heir with christ that's why the bible says in first john chapter 3 behold what manner of love the father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of god and then it adds indeed that it's what we are the reason why the world does not know us beloved is because the world did not know him but even now we are the children of god we are the sons of god we are not becoming we are not in a process of becoming the children of god we are already you are already that's why the bible says that every man that has this hope in himself or in herself purifies himself even as he is power it is pure beloved the grace that leads us into into the presence of god and declares our sons and daughters of the living god the grace that makes god look at you and me just as if we had never seen that grace is powerful this is where the enemy has walked into the christian world and diluted the gospel of god he has made grace to be something that can tolerate sin but beloved in these last days god is calling us back to the message of the bible that says fear god and give him glory when you hear the gospel there is a call to fear god and to give him glory now to give god glory to us and worship him who made heaven and earth and the sea and the fullness thereof worship god fear god love it means reverence him to fear god is to love him from the depth of your being and to submit to his will in all things it's a call to worship when you hear the gospel when you know what god has done for you the best response is glory be to god hallelujah when you read the bible there's a cry of hallelujah it's the saints praising god because of what he has done fear god and give glory to him and worship him who made heaven and out the sea and all that is in it to worship god beloved is to give thanks to him that's what the gospel is calling you and i to do just give thanks give thanks to the holy one give thanks to god say thank you tell god i'm grateful and the way to tell god that you are grateful is to submit your life to his lordship that's what the grace of god does titus chapter 2 verse 11 says the grace of god that brings salvation also teaches us to say no to sin and to all ungodliness grace has the power to make you say no to sin because the grace of god pulls the love of god into our hearts and love obeys so consequently and finally obedience is the evidence that you appreciate the grace of god there is no worship without obedience beloved you just can't stand up and say you are worshiping god without listening to what god has said in his word if you are saved by the grace of god you need to show gratitude to god salvation is grace christian living is gratitude i want to say that again salvation is grace god doing for you that which you cannot do for yourself god's reaches at the expense of christ but christian living working with christ living in tough times that's gratitude it's the evidence that we are grateful to the salvation of god that is worship being thankful worship is adoration we adore him we praise him we love him we talk about him worship love it is submission we submit to him not i but christ not my will but his will be done worship beloved is therefore the ultimate joy possible for any created human being because worship calls you into the presence of god and the bible says in john chapter 16 verse 11 that in his presence there is fullness of joy and pleasures forever more beloved that is restoration into his presence you and i were made for pleasure the pleasure of god god finds pleasure in you when he sees you god looks at you with joy in his heart and when you come close to god he also want to fill your heart with joy i believe that the problem in the world today is that people are seeking running to look for joy in places where you cannot find it you won't find it in alcohol you won't find it in adultery you won't find it in homosexuality that my sister was talking about previously you won't find it in riches there is no joy in anything that you and i can do but real joy can only be found in the presence of god true pleasure is the pleasure that you find in the presence of god when you worship god it is giving god the glory as we proclaim what he has done for us worship beloved leads us to peace rest and confidence once you have worshiped god you are okay doesn't matter what's happening around you if you can only kneel and lift your hands before the lord you shall be fine you might be in pain even as i'm talking but if you can lift your house to god and say thank you my sister my brother you shall be fine how do i know because jesus has said my peace i give to you not as the world gives divine unto you john 14 27 therefore let not your heart be troubled may god bless you today may the lord keep you rejoicing may the lord give you peace is my prayer as you think of who you are in him exalted in christ that's my prayer for you in jesus name amen may i pray with you again heavenly father what a joy to know that we are not just redeemed and restored into a right relationship with you but by your grace you have gone beyond that and exalted us in christ and called us heirs even joint airs so that we have become a people whom people will look at and say surely god is great how i pray that everybody that has had this message may think may consider and may give themselves to you without any salvation even to demonstrate it through the waters of baptism and for the sake who listen not to grant them healing and assurance and conviction that they are safe with you no matter what may happen to the youth and to all who are struggling to all who are destitute to all who are desperate father i pray may this message give them hope to face life with courage during these tough times it's my prayer in jesus name amen wow it's nice to be in the house of the lord
