time of studying the word of His grace make sure you grab your pen your notebook and your Bible your pen your notebook and your Bible we're gonna have an exciting study as we continue with our series on the believers realities in Christ are you excited to be here this morning can we give the Lord Jesus a great shout in the building glory hallelujah you can be seated with your Suites much of glory to God let's get in the world in the first service this morning I began to look at our realities in Christ Jesus a series that our study teaching from last Wednesday now please listen very carefully if you don't want to know the truth if you don't want to know the truth about the gospel and about Jesus and about heaven please stop listening to me right now because what I'm gonna be teaching now is going to destroy a lot of mindsets it's going to go against a lot of religious things that have been taught that are not in the Bible so if you don't want to know the truth this is a time to shut me out quickly because if you listen to me in this service is going to alter a lot of things you have believed before that you taught where in the Bible but we're never in the Bible and the first service has said just because something is popular doesn't make it the truth that everybody is doing it doesn't mean it is right after all in Kadesh Barnea in 11 or 12 spies were sent to spy the land of promise and the Bible tells us when they came back from spy in the land 10 of them brought and it will report the popula that the popular opinion they said we are not able to go there are giants there are sons of anak the place is too tough we cannot make it that is the popular report but that was in write to people the minority just two of them said no we are well able to go let us go at once so it's not every time that something that is popular is right and the bible says joshua and khalid alone will enter the promised land because they had the spirit of faith or they had another spirit so if something is popularly practice all over the world doesn't mean it is the truth so that's what we got to stay with the bible secondly we must remember that the Bible is the only material we have that reveals God to us and reveals us to us concerning God there is no other material that is called secret the Bible is called heroes grammar sacred material all set apart writings because it is the only book that we have to know about God and what God says so if you are playing with the Bible you have set up yourself for religious deception if you're playing with your Bible you have just set up yourself to be deceived and used and abused you cannot afford to play with the Bible and you cannot afford to play with the right interpretation there is a right interpretation of the Scriptures and when the Scriptures are not well interpreted a truth is lost when the scriptures are not well interpreted the truth or a truth is lost a vital part of Bible interpretation what we call the science of Bible interpretation or hermeneutics and teaching is the ability to give a defense to give an answer or to answer issues and controversies that arise in the explanation of subjects that are discussed in the Bible so in Bible study or in Bible teaching the job of a Bible teacher is to ensure that he upholds the integrity of the scriptures at no point must a Bible teacher attempt to deviate from what already has been written to extra biblical sources such as experiences this is how I see it the way I see it you are not permitted to have the way you see it in the Bible no you are not permitted because you're not a writer the job of a Bible teacher and the job of the believer is not to see it the way I see it is to go into the mind of the writer to see what was in the mind of the writer and understand the Bible from the mind of the writer because the Bible can never mean today what it never meant when it was first written I repeat the Bible can never mean today what it never meant when it was first written so the job of a Bible teacher or a good Bible student is to go into the mind of the Scriptures because the Bible is a piece of literature therefore the rules of literature applies in reading understanding and interpreting the text of the Bible so you cannot subject the Bible to experiences opinions or feelings how I feel no we don't teach Bible based on feelings your feelings are not needed in Bible teaching because the Bible is not about your feelings the Bible is the message of Christ a key factor understand and be assured of in Bible study is that the Bible does not contradict itself the Bible does not contradict itself there is a perfect harmony to everything in the Bible but when there seems to be contradictions such seeming contradictions are in the mind of the reader the seeming contradictions are in the mind of the reader and not from the Bible a lackadaisical or a lazy or a haphazard approach the Bible study is the model of confusions and the model of contentions or controversies which leads to false teachings and renewals practices where there seems to be a contention on a subject matter keeping that ought to be considered or the ought to be determined and number one is it's written in the books of the Bible that controversy can we find where it is written in black and white in the books of the Bible that is the subject matter it is safe to say that there will be no use examining something that is not written or taught in the Bible is of no use to examine it because it's not even accommodated in the text of the Bible if it was written how was it explained it's not enough to know that something was written for example you read the Bible you see something like love not the world none of the things that are in the world if any man loves the world the love of the father is not in him you read the Bible again you see things like friendship with the world is enmity with God a friend of the world is an enemy of God now you read the same Bible he says for God so loved the world but he says you should love the world but he is loving the world that seems to be like a contradiction but there's no contradiction there then he also read some Isis you go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature so now it will take care full Bible study to see that there is no contradiction when he says not not the world the world world there in the Greek is the world errands errands errands means the world's way of thinking when he says for God so loved the world the word world in God love in the world is the word cosmos in the Greek cosmos way of the cosmopolitan so God loves the cosmopolitan where human beings are but you do not love the way the man that is not born again things so it will take Bible teaching for you to come to a place of appreciating that there is no contradiction in the Bible if there's any contradiction at all it only exists within the figment of your understanding or the frequent of your of your mind then they taught him to find out the thought in to find out is is it practical now before I go into is it practical there is need to go a step forward hadn't seen it was written in the Bible to examine how it was explained it's not just enough to say that error in the Bible God kill it and God make it alive God kill it and God make it alive it is written yes it is written but what was the explanation to that statement first of all the statement was not made by God or by a prophet it was made by a woman when she had the blessing of a child out of an excitement she said God kill it and got Makita life which does not truly represent the character of God because when Jesus showed up Jesus said God is life and in him there is no darkness at all so it will take careful study to be able to take care of the things that look like seeming contradictions in Bible story and that is why Bible study is tedious and Bible study must be intentional all right so then we have to check what kind of emphasis was given to the subject matter that looks like a contradiction number three is it practical because based on the key points that we just mentioned the next thing is to determine if it is what is being taught or explained on that subject matter if it is practical if it is seen in the Bible or practicable in Christian living opposed to Paul addressed our mind to sell and facts every minister of the gospel and every believer must be a attention to and also learn from the book of first Peter chapter three verse number 15 thus Peter chapter 3 verse number 15 but sanctify the Lord in your hearts and be ready always to give an answer if your Bible was mine I will underline an answer to every man always to give an answer to every man that except you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear be always ready to give an answer the word answer was translated from the Greek word apologia it is spelled as AP o el GI a apologia which implies a defence an answer to an opponent apologia is a defense or an answer to an opponent the surface we touch of the three verse 15 in the english standard version it says always to make a defense always prepared to make a defense in first Peter chapter 3 verse 15 the way Mountain New Testament translation of nineteen twelve is always ready to make your defense always ready to make your defense in first Peter 3:15 the 1898 Young's literal translation he says ready always for defense notice Peter explained why he said these in context be ready always to give an answer to every man that access you a reason of your hope you must be able to defend it that is you answer him with give him a reason or it defends for your hope with meekness and fear in other words the Bible teacher must be able to present the message in such a way that he answers questions and clear doubts in people's minds rather than cause confusion and contention other references of the word apologia is acts 25 16 Acts chapter 25 verse number 15 please pay attention Acts chapter 25 verse 16 16 25 16 the womb I answered it is not the manner of the Roman so the word answer there is the word apologia acts 22 verse 1 Acts chapter 22 verse 1 men brethren and fathers he I am my defence apologia he IMI defense 1st Corinthians chapter 9 verse 3 first Corinthians chapter 9 verse 3 mine ansa apologia or defense to them that do examine me is this 2nd Corinthians chapter 7 verse 11 2nd Corinthians chapter 7 verse 11 for behold they self same thing that you saw after a godly sort what carefulness it wrought in um what clearing of yourselves clearing of yourselves there is apologia lippy on chapter 1 verse 17 Philippians chapter 1 verse 17 but the order of law of knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel the apologia of the gospel look at Philippians chapter 1 verse 7 Philippians chapter 1 verse 7 Philippians 1 7 even as it is made for me to think this of you all because I have you in my heart inasmuch as both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation in the apologia and confirmation of the gospel you're all partakers of my grace second Timothy many scriptures good for your health 2nd Timothy 4:16 at my first answer no man stood with me but all men forsook me at my face answer apologia or defense all right so observe closely in the different context of how the word apologia was used it was used as a defense and answer Paul emphatically use it in Philippians 1 7 it says in the defence and confirmation of the gospel so the Bible teacher must be diligent with and very detailed in his analysis of Bible text you must be detailed sometimes when I teach it can get very laborious and it can be so painstaking but that is the only way to understand the Scriptures God doesn't want to be a mystery anymore so God became a man in the person of Jesus walk the face of the earth as a man so that man can know God in Christ then he died and rose and gave us 66 books to know him if you don't know God is by choice and if anybody takes advantage of you and deceives you in the name of God it is your choice because you have a volume of 66 books that unveils God to you clearly and everybody has a copy of that book and everybody have access to the teaching of God's Word just like you're here in this morning now so it's very important the Bible teacher has the responsibility to ensure that the purity and sanctity of the message of the Bible is upheld he must be analytical and never be in a hurry or attempt to gloss over details I do not gloss over details you know some time ago somebody asked me one of our leaders and somebody said she should ask me why don't you a pastor just summarize it must we go through all the nitty gritties that's Bible teaching the moment you start summarizing Bible teaching you are raising a generation of lazy Kristin's there is no laziness to your relationship with God which is eternal you must make up your mind to be a student and you must be studious very intentionally studios so you know got to a point where you relate effectively with God where you're confident in God and where nobody can just rub things on you that don't belong to you ignorance is so expensive a lot of people have gone into a kinds of mess because they have refused to settle down and be taught the Word of God properly there is a teaching of God's Word and a standard teaching of God's Word that must be observed please pay attention now look at look at this instance here whenever Bible the Bible is taught or whenever you read the Bible there is carefulness in paying attention to details you don't gloss over facts you don't because if you gloss over a fact a word or a preposition in a text can change the entire meaning of attacks if it just means a preposition or a word or a phrase if you just miss it it can change the entire you know the entire construction or meaning of that text so that's why a good student of the Bible and a believer and a good Bible teacher or preacher must pay attention to the details for example John chapter 3 verse 3 pay attention John chapter 3 verse 3 to 8 jesus answered and said unto Him verily verily say unto thee except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God next verse Nicodemus said to him how can a man be born when he is old can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and be born x-mas jesus answered verily verily I say unto thee except a man be born of water and of the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God next verse now which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit next verse Marvel not that I said unto thee you must be born again next verse the wind bloweth where it listeth and now here is a sound thereof but canst not tell whence it cometh and whither it goeth so is every one that is born of the Spirit now careless reading careless reading will can make you think that Jesus spoke about two different kinds of God that is being born of water which is different from being born of the Spirit you will arrive at that conclusion because you're reading the Bible carelessly however upon a detailed analysis of the text the following can be observed number one the article the TEG used by the author John was used before the word spirit the spirit only and not before the word water so there is no D water but there is this spirit born of water and of the spirit all right so that word there of the Spirit there is very very important number two born of the Spirit is mentioned twice in verse six and seven showing you emphasis of being born of the Spirit he didn't mention born of water again he only mentioned that once number three the word spirit used four times in that text was more emphasized in context than the word water use just once number four the word off before the spirit born of the Spirit born off before the spirit is italicized it implies it was not in the original manuscript it was just added by the privilege of translators so the absence of the word off indicates the maker of the statement which was Jesus was not discussing two elements but one so the word and translated from the Greek word kai there is what we called a chi rule of Bible interpretation which is in the Greek lexicon can either be used as a conjunction or a further explanation in this context the role it plays is explanatory and not as a conjunction so the implication is that the substantive in the case is the spirit which is preceded by the definite article des is explained by the other substantive which is water which precedes the caplet Eve or the Chi rule so from John three verse five it can better the understood us except a man be born of water that is or which is the spirit born of water which is the spirit in essence Jesus was teaching being born of the Spirit however he use water figuratively in his explanation so that's why he stated categorically in the preceding verses how he was using everything's water to explain heavenly things being born of the Spirit now come with me to John chapter 3 verse 12 John chapter 3 verse number 12 if I have told you earthly things and you believe not how shall you believe if I tell you of heavenly things Jesus in context clearly was not teaching or imposing water baptism rather water in this context was figuratively use figuratively use collaboratively a similar expression will be seen in John 7:37 John chapter 7 verse 37 in the last day that great day of the feast Jesus stood and cried saying if any man thirst let him come unto me and drink that he ate that it he that believeth on me as the scripture has said out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water now to show you that the water is figurative look at verse 39 now in context but this spake he of the Spirit so the water was the spirit that was being communicated in figure of speech which they that believe on him shall receive for the Holy Ghost was not yet given because that Jesus was not yet glorified a perfect example of proper Bible study is seen where Jesus taught for 40 days in Luke chapter 24 that is a proper Bible study notice Jesus's explanation in John 3:12 in context of heavenly things heavenly things was in reference to being born again born anew born of the Spirit born of God or receiving salvation or what we call the indwelling of the Spirit or eternal life of salvation all of those are adjectives to explain what Jesus meant by heavenly things the phrase heavenly things was translated from a Greek word hello please take note of this this very crucial that word heavenly was translated from a Greek word you for Aeneas you can write down it P or you are a an iOS app or on you for any O's which implies are both immaterial or not of the ads so anytime we say heavily it means we are not talking about material things we are talking about the immaterial we are talking about something that is superior to the natural so the water heavenly is used to distinguish between the earthly and the immaterial the word heavenly is not talking about a distance you travel to it's a word used to distinguish in the first service I was talking about Heavenly Father as heavenly there used to distinguish further from father because there is further on earth and if you just say father they would know which father you are talking about so the heavenly is added to father to reveal the Fatherhood of God our Father which art in heaven Heavenly Father to distinguish that this father we're talking about is not an earthly father is an immaterial father that is it's not a father you can hole and grab with your material hand he says father but he is in the immaterial realm all right so it's important to know how the word heaven is always used in the Bible and I've been dealing with this since when as they toss they infest service and I'm not going to go over I'm just gonna proceed from where I stopped and if you have not been in the teaching you can get all the series and listening carefully they will help you a lot now remember the word heaven was translated from the Greek word Uranus all you are a n iOS which employs which implies that which is a material and is an adjective that is to say Jesus taught God in dwelling in man as heavenly that when God comes into a human being to live in him at salvation that God living in a man is heavenly that is immaterial and the first service I showed you that there is Moses started a discourse on heaven and earth using heaven and earth as a figure to describe God the immortal coming into the mortal to take up residence so when God in Christ entered your heart it was an amalgamation of heaven and earth in a man heaven and earth now please stay with me so the word heaven there what Jesus was teaching was God indwelling man if you read Ephesians chapter 1 put it off for me officials were one you will see Paul in his latest teaching similarly the same thing I'm showing you Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God to the Saints which are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus was to grace be to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ verse 3 blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who hath who hath not who will who have tech not of the tenses they are not there for decoration who has blessed he will not bless he has blessed blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ notice that what places was italicized by the translation so officials 1 3 doesn't have places is not in the original it is heavenlies now there's another word they are called spiritual spiritual blessings the word spiritual was translated from a Greek word pneumatic hose pneumatic hose way of nuuma tall Gian Numa Numa tickles p.m. Eum ati kos pneumatic hose which implies of the spirit and by the spirit heavily spiritual means of the spirit or by the spirit recall the word heavenly implies immaterial so it suffices to say that the blessings poor refer to an official's one tree in this context a spiritual meaning they are immaterial they are blessings you cannot hold with your hand they are immaterial all right now people are not taught well you will hear them say something like this all the blessings are in the spiritual and you must convert them to the natural that is gross ignorance of God's Word you don't transfer to the natural they are spiritual and they are by nature spiritual and they are designed to remain spiritual now then brother Paul enumerated what these blessings are and I'm going to show you in a few minutes so spiritual that which is not Material soap or refer to them as heavenly that is you say the thumb Heavenly Father explains what he meant by spiritual therefore Paul clearly was not referring to a place heaven was not a place he was talking about like a planet like a geographical location where we would travel to there is no teaching like that in the Bible of will traveling to a location somewhere no teaching like that in the Bible it's just people's imagination Oh what the movie experts try to force into our understanding there's no such place and even here sounds like some bright morning when this fly away no such teaching in the Bible we are flying to nowhere there's no flight follow me patiently there is no such teaching in the Bible now observe that that was why he clearly stated blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies in Christ in Christ in Christ so the blessings are immaterial the blessings are spiritual the blessings are heavenly and they are in Christ he explains these blessings in context in verse 4 the cost of the tree tells you that the blessings are in Christ they are spiritual they are heavenly then verse 4 he begins to describe the blessings he says accordingly as choosing us before the foundation of the world so he had chosen us in him to be holy and without blame is the blessing that you are chose him to be holy and without blame is the blessing verse 4 verse 5 verse 5 of officials having predestinated us unto the adoption of children so that you have been adopted as a child of God by Jesus Christ is one of the blessings you in the spirit the six of the same chapter to the praise of the glory of His grace wherein he had made us accepted in the beloved so that you are accepted by God is one of those blessings you have in the spirit verse 7 in whom we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace so the forgiveness of sin is one of those blessings in verse 11 of Ephesians chapter one verse 11 of efficience one in whom also we have obtained an inheritance being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will that is another blessing that we have obtained an inheritance verse 13 of the same chapter one of Ephesians in whom also you trusted after that you heard the word of truth the gospel of your salvation in whom also after that you believed you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise so you're sealed with the Holy Spirit is another blessing you have in Christ and it continues to explain officials of the two verse six Ephesians chapter 2 verse number 6 and as raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly in Christ Jesus so when Jesus raised us up from the dead which is spiritual death and gave us eternal life and made us sit together with him in heaven right now that is a blessing so heaven is not at last heaven is our reality in Christ right now we are not praying to make heaven the day you receive Jesus all of heaven came on your inside so right now you are in heaven as a reality in Christ well yeah people say my plan that will make it Romek who will make heaven Allah they don't know the Bible there's no such thing in the Bible no opposed to pray that prayer you won't find that context anywhere is just people out of guilt and people out of sin consciousness who coined that statement and it it is doctrinally wrong there's no such prayer they tell you receive Jesus Jesus in you makes heaven a reality Christ in you exceptional born again if you are not born again then you can pray to make heaven at last but if you're born again you're in heaven right now hallelujah so notice the world places in Ephesians 2:6 was italicized so Paul was not referring to a geographical location he said heavenly in Christ so it's not a geographical location he did say heavenly above the skies he didn't say heavenly somewhere in the blue you know so my something lit up so we're beyond a blues beyond the blues somewhere there's no such in the Bible the heavenly is not a geographical location the heaven is a reality you come into in Christ pay attention heavenly in Christ's heavenly in Christ so now Paul was explaining the fact that the believer by identification which is faith in the gospel was raised together and met to sit together with Christ and this is heavily or this is spiritual which is immaterial now look at officials of the three verse fourteen less than with the book Ephesians chapter 3 verse 14 for this course I bow my knees on to the father of our Lord Jesus Christ next verse of whom the whole family in the immaterial and material is named you are that family in the immaterial and in the material you are physically on earth and spiritually you're with Christ so you are the family of God in the material and material you are in heaven and earth at the same time in Christ that is your reality it's not a futuristic promise it's a reality that the resurrection of Jesus made available to the believer so in chapter 1 Paul explained the true Christ we believers have access to the Father we are given that access by his spirit officials to 18 officials chapter 2 verse 18 for through him we both have access by one spirit on to the Father we both have access by one spirit so when he said the whole family in heaven he was referring to a spiritual reality which is one of the realities or spiritual blessings that we have in Christ remember John chapter 3 verse 1 if I tell you heavenly things heavenly things all right now observe Jesus his words in John chapter 3 verse 13 John chapter 3 verse 13 pay attention and no man had ascended up to heaven but he that came down from heaven observe even the Son of Man which is in heaven not which was which is what Jesus oh say knees I am in heaven at the same time I am on it I'm operating heaven 8 and that's the way the believer operates immortality mortality immortality mortality no man has ascended except the son of man which is this is the same as John's explanation earlier in John 1:14 observe John 1:14 Jacques Allahabad and the world was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory the glory as of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth Oh full of grace that is the truth Paul taught the same truth concerning Jesus Jesus is humanity that Jesus became flesh so Jesus is God that God who became a man for the purpose of saving man so Jesus is God in humanity 100% a man as though not God and 100% God as though not man so Jesus is God man the believer is immortality mortality see that's about reality that's what you came into when you got born again that's your reality that is your reality now pay attention 1st Corinthians 15 47 thank you Lord Jesus the first man is of the earth earthy the second man is the Lord from heaven from the immaterial the Lord from heaven James also added in James chapter 1 verse 17 pay attention James 1:17 same thing James spoke about it every good gift and every perfect gift is from above above and cometh down from the Father of lights with whom is no variableness neither shadow of turning therefore the statement ba he that came down from heaven was what John explained earlier in John chapter 1 verse 14 and the Word was made flesh and dwelt the word dwells among us listen carefully in Christianity we don't go to God other religions are trying to go to God they are working hard to go to God in Christianity we don't go to God because man cannot go to God so God has come to us in the person of Jesus in Christianity God has come to us we don't go to him you can't even find him God created both man and everything so man cannot discover God there's no way you can discover God only God can reveal himself to you that is why God must be revealed you can know God by calculation you know God by revelation and the revelation of God can only be accessed in a passing his name is Jesus jesus said no man can come to the Father except by me so Jesus is the exclusive custodian of the Father and Jesus is the sole Revilla of the Father he reveals the father and the father reveals the song and the believer can only come to that revelation by seeing God in the person of Christ if you can't see God in Christ you will never know God because God cannot be known outside Jesus because outside Jesus there is no God anywhere you didn't hear that outside Jesus there is no God anywhere God is only found in the person of Jesus now pay attention another scripture quickly therefore before I read a scripture God who is a spirit John 4:24 God who is a spirit became a man was made flesh the only begotten of the father in John 1:18 no man has seen God at any time the only begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father he had declared him John 3:16 for God so loved the world that he that is only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life so God who is a spirit in John 4:24 became a man was made flesh the begotten only of the father so clearly this explains why Jesus said concerning himself the Son of Man which is in heaven why the father dwells in Jesus how do we know that John 14 10 John chapter 14 verse number 10 believers now know that I am in the father and the father in me the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself but the father that dwelleth in me he doeth the works the father dwells in Jesus however upon Jesus's resurrection from the dead he brought many songs his nor mother only begotten now he has brought many sons unto glory hebrews chapter 2 verse 10 hebrews chapter 2 verse number 10 for it became him for whom are all things and by whom are all things in bringing many sons unto glory to make the captain of their salvation perfect through suffering so Jesus has brought songs and brought a poor call those songs the family of God in heaven underneath that is our union with God in Christ our union as his children as his family and that is a spiritual reality in this family god abides in all his children forever he doesn't come to visit God will visit you no sir the person living in me cannot be visiting me divine visitation 2020 not for me is for people that know Bonica I have God living in me why will the person living in me be visiting me it makes no sense God doesn't visit he dwells he lives in the believer forever he will live in you forever so God dwells in all of his children forever second Corinthians 6:16 thank you Lord Jesus are you following 2nd Corinthians 6:16 and what agreement has the temple of God with idols for your the temple of the Living God as God hath said I will dwell in them what does it mean to 12 is it a visitation or permanence T permanently I will dwell in them and work in them I will be their God they shall be my people so he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit we are the union with God and a fellowship that can never be broken so from the words of Jesus and Paul suffice it to say that both the believer in Christ and everything we received in Christ can be referred to as heavenly or spiritual they are spiritual realities we have received in Christ these realities as we see one of them or we see all of them they are realities in Christ meaning that Christ is dwelling in the believer now take note of the word heaven heavenly heavenly if you're making a note please take note of that heaven heavenly heavenly in the synoptic Gospels as rendered arguably about 263 times heaven heavenly heavenly with lesser instances in the Krystal's this is because in the epistles the writers used what like Spirit Christ to replace heaven heavenly heavenlies so in explaining the reality of our union with God in Christ in the resurrection they use Christ they use spirit look at first Corinthians 15 verse 40 harbored appalled explain heavenly things or that which befits heaven they are also celestial bodies and terrorists yield bodies but the glory of the celestial is one and the glory of the terrestrial is one so there are bodies that do not befit as they only befit Heaven celestial terrestrial that is a when a man dies he drops this body and on the day of resurrection this body will change from mortality to immortality so the body that Behcet's that immaterial and call heaven is not this body is the other body that you will wear on the Resurrection Day all right now brother Paul is taking time to lay this framework so we can come to a place of understanding observed in first Corinthians 15 48 he discusses celestial bodies that fit heaven first Corinthians 15 48 pay attention and is the edge as is the earthy such are they also that are edgy and as is the heavenly such are they also that are heavenly next verse and as we have borne the image of the earthy we shall also bear the image of the image right now we are in a material body I can touch you I can feel you I can kick this chair but on the resurrection morning this body will drop and change and the body I will wear is heavenly that is why when Jesus rose from the dead he walked through walls he entered room without door because he was we are in the heavenly body which does not submit to the laws of nature and that resurrection of Jesus was a prototype of our resurrection what we call the rapture or the best way to call it in Scripture is the resurrection the resurrection from the dead all right so there is an earthly body and there is a heavenly body again this was explained in contrast to the eighth ad material heavenly in material it is always a contrast just like we saw that the word heavenly in Ephesians 1:3 is talking about the immaterial observe that the word places is italicized in his rendering which implies it was not in the original look at Ephesians 1:20 pay attention a few scriptures to it Ephesians 1:20 which he wrote in Christ when he raised him from the dead and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly there are no places in the original in the heavenly so Jesus was set at the right hand listen carefully I taught this on Thursday right hand is not right side when you read the Bible and you see right hand is not talking about right side that is where people that are not taught well when they have vision and dream they will say they went to heaven and the Saudis are sitting by the right hand of God anybody who sees that didn't see a vision is a nightmare because there is no such thing as Jesus sitting on the right side of God no such thing when you read the Bible and he says the right side is a figurative expression for authority is actually the word regions Jesus is the Regency is the authority of God simple it doesn't mean right side there is no such thing as right side but however amongst visions and dreams are a reflection of his doctrine what he has been taught what he has believed and people can believe very wrongly and it will reflect in their dreams and visions you know it's like one woman who went around Nigeria and said she died for four days she went to heaven she saw many things and came back and were telling stories all over the place and many Christians were running around and listening to her in fascism from heaven she peeped into hell and she's so many women in Hell and why did they go to hell they don't used to Thai stuff they do use the tiger head is to leave their hair open so when they are at Jesus or push them to hell that is fraud afternoon lie that is a deception before the face of evidence that contradict it there's no such thing you don't go to heaven because you tie scarf you go to heaven because you believe in Jesus what does not change anything you'll not say because you dress well you said because you believe in Christ that is why even when you are naked in the bathroom if you pray God answers your prayer because your nakedness does not make any difference before God so such a dream is a fast I kept saying is a fast don't believer I started teaching in the Bible all over Nigeria few weeks ago she came out and confess that all that thing she said was a lie she didn't go anywhere the Nigerian should forgive her but many people gullibly even give them money gave her plenty money to keep telling the stories or heaven what kind of any heaven that is not taught in the Bible is a lie the Bible is the boundary of Christian learning and like I said in the beginning if you don't want to don't listen to me because I take time to teach I don't rush at all I take time you cannot learn you don't graduate from university by attending one hour lecture no there is the Word of God must be studied beyond how we study in university because that is the only relationship you have with and if people refuse to study diligently there will be victims of deception victims man told me new you're here how'd that he went to see one profit and a profitable for him and told him to go and take a life good take the go to them to the bush around the road to nan you do that side in the night 12 midnight when he enters the bush he keep going then he describes her only when he reaches that issue roast the goat without without cleaning it roast it when it has been roasted he should sit down there and eat it he said he was eating with the intestine with the blood and from eating and eating till morning when we say receive Christ hear the gospel he says how you eat good next time it will not be got you to be one big cow you eat till you fall on top of the car my yoke is easy my burden is light Christ is easy there's no complication in class it is called the simplicity that is in Christ the simplicity that is in Christ so that is why if you observe carefully brother Paul takes time to reveal to us the scriptures in context look at Ephesians chapter 2 verse 6 pay attention Ephesians chapter 2 verse 6 and as raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly in Christ what places is nadya heavenly means we are seated with Christ right now in the immaterial look at Ephesians chapter 3 verse 10 right now a cetera crisis my heaven at last is right now Ephesians 3:10 to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God the word helpfully there is immaterial immaterial the church is the university of angels we teach angels the things of God because God reveals his secret only to his sons in Christ now observe brother Paul explains again officials verse 12 pay attention Ephesians chapter 6 verse 12 for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual material wickedness in high in material immaterial he explained the same thing and officials of the truth as well officials chapter 2 verse 1 and you have he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins verse cute verse 2 verse 2 wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world according to the Prince of the power of the air the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience Nexis among whom also we all had our conversation in time past in the lost of our flesh fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind and we're by nature the children of Wrath so he talks about the spirit that worketh the immaterial in the children of disobedience so again the term spiritual in Chapter in chapter 6 is to explain the spirit at work in the children of disobedience to the gospel disobedience to the gospel so that's what brother Paul was talking about in Ephesians chapter 6 verse number 12 however in this instance those who are in the positions of authority that's why he referred to them in context as the rulers of the darkness of this world so the wickedness in the heavenlies is not referring to Christ heavenly it's referring to the contradicting heavenly which is the darkness of this world operated by Satan please pay attention Philippians chapter 2 verse 10 Philippians chapter 2 verse 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow of things in heaven things in heaven and things in earth so things in earth are different from things in heaven so the word heaven there is the distinguish things in heaven from things on earth immaterial material please follow this follow this so there are things in heaven second Timothy 4:18 second Timothy chapter four verse 18 second Timothy chapter four of us eating and the Lord shall deliver me from every evil walk and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom to whom be glory for ever and ever so there is a heavenly kingdom now look at the writer of Hebrews explaining the same word heaven Hebrews chapter 3 verse 1 Hebrews chapter 3 verse 1 wherefore holy brethren partakers of the heavenly calling so there is a call called heavenly of course medical doctor is not heavenly calling barista or lawyer is not heavily calling biology is not heavenly calling heavenly calling is to preach Christ or teach the Word of God heavenly the Apostle and high priest of your heavenly calling which is the core to know Christ which is the call of salvation it's called heavenly calling it is not an earthly calling look at Hebrews chapter 6 verse 4 Hebrews chapter 6 verse 4 where it is impossible for those who were once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift so they reserved only give different from earthly gift Hebrews chapter 8 verse 5 pay attention he bruised it was five who serve on to the example and shadow of heavenly things shadow of heavenly things all right now pay attention Hebrews chapter 9 verse 23 heavenly tabernacle 9 23 it was therefore necessary that the pattern of things in heaven shall be purified with this but they have only things themselves with better sacrifices than these Hebrews 11 16 there is what we call heavenly City where you are right now Hebrews 11 16 but now they desire a better country that is and heavenly we our God is not ashamed to be called their God for he hath prepared for them a city he is not going to prepare and also people believe that if you're very serious in charge you're committed in evangelism you're committed in giving money and all of that you're my son II have would be built for you fast fast that is another fraud the building is not a physical building and it's not dependent on you that building was completed when Jesus rose from the dead that building so they dare you receive Jesus you become a recipient of that building which is our spiritual body which is our house which is Roberta poor thought as incorruptible house which is the clot you will wear on the day of resurrection however as a believer you ought to give you aa to evangelize all of those are works that Jesus will reward you for but that is not salvation and that is not part of what Jesus obtained for you in his resurrection you are not serving in charge to convince God to bless you your sudden because God has so blessed you for giving you your sins wrote your name in the book of life giving you eternal life you're so grateful so out of gratitude you serve God out of gratitude you give out of gratitude you pray out of gratitude you evangelize so the things you do in the kingdom I in response to what he has done in your life we are not bribing God God is not a contractor we don't mobilize him before he does things for us he did everything for us before we knew we needed them he blessed us with all before we knew so God does not react God does not look if you do I do that's reaction that's not God God pull ups he sees the end from the beginning and he Pro acted ahead of time everything God does for us he did it ahead of time in Christ Jesus can I hear powerful amen look at Hebrews 12:22 Hebrews 12:22 but you are come you are come you are not coming you are come to Mount Zion you have come unto the city of the Living God what is the city of the Living God heavenly Jerusalem you have already come you already there the day you got born again you came to the heavenly Jerusalem right now if you are a believer you are in the heavenly Jerusalem in Christ futuristic promise is a reality in Christ that is what being in Christ has given to us that is what being in Christ means to us the heavenly Jerusalem so so far we have seen that the word heavenly in is in contrast with that which is of the eighth remember it implies that which is fit for for for those that a part of that adjective so the explanation of this world will be found in the writings of Moses Kosta Banneker among men God's Tabernacle among men is what Moses called heaven and earth quickly as I began a roundup let's consider the word heavenly in the book of Acts first mention acts 2 34 acts 234 for David is not ascended into the heavens but his she saith himself the Lord said unto my lord sit down by right hand 35 until I make thy foes the foot 236 therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God had made that same Jesus whom you have crucified both Lord and Christ but Lord and Christ how was Jesus made Lord and Christ Peter had been teaching about the resurrection of Jesus from the dead look at acts 232 see the way it happened at 2:32 Acts chapter 2 this Jesus had God raised up we're off we are all witnesses so it can be said that in Jesus's resurrection Peter explained that as heaven the resurrection of Jesus Peter explained that as heaven another instance is in acts 7 56 giving at 7:56 and said behold I see the heavens opened and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God so when Stephen saw the Son of man standing he called it heaven other instances where you will see that phrase heaven or I see the heavens open you can write for personal study it's Matthew 3:16 mark 1:10 look 321 I repeat Matthew 3:16 mark 1:10 look 321 in Stevens explanation behold I see the heavens and the son of man stand-in on the right hand of God is where you apply the Chi rule of Bible interpretation which means the heavens opened is what Stephen explained as the son of man standing in the place of authority the right hand the place of authority Jesus explained the same true to his disciples shortly before he died John 14:16 John 14:16 glory to God and I pray the father and he shall give you another comforter that he may abide with you forever next verse if one verse 17 17 quickly even the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive because he said him not neither knoweth him but you know him for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you he shall be in you next verse who shall be in you I will not leave you comfortless I will come to you so Jesus is the spirit of truth that came to you as the Holy Ghost in the resurrection the me verse 19 verse 19 and that day you shall know Oh glory to God little while and the world sent me no more because I live you shall live also 20 in that day verse 20 the day you shall know the word give Moscow you shall know the God that I in my father and you in me and I in you inseparable union and Jesus called that heaven that Union that union of the believer and Jesus is what is referred to doctrinally in the scriptures as heaven so that vision by Stephen was descriptive of Christ in the believer which was fulfilled in the resurrection heaven heavenly heavenly heaven heavenly heavenlies look at Romans chapter 10 verse 6 brother Paul's explanation Hey but the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise same not in your heart gasps ooh who shall ascend to heaven that is to bring Christ down don't ever say that Jesus said if they tell you Christ is there Christ is there don't believe them that is a false Christ Christ will not be seen in a location somewhere in that day you shall know I in you you in me we in the father where is Christ in me even the mystery which has been here from edges but now it's made manifest to his Saints to whom God will make known what is the mystery what is the mystery but what is the revelation of this mystery among the Saints which is Christ where in you the hope of glory not Christ in a planet not Christ in a planet Christ in you it has always been the dream of God to live in a man Christ in you I will live in you I will work in you I will be your God you will be my sons and daughters he lives in you can somebody shout hallelujah I said somebody shout hallelujah I said somebody shout hallelujah so our identification with Christ in his resurrection look at Ephesians 315 editions of the 3 verse 15 of whom the whole family in heaven and earth Union Union official 69 officials 6 9 and you must do the same things unto them for being threatening knowing that your master also is in the immaterial in heaven look at officials for 10 officials for 10 he that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens that he might fill all things that were far above all heavens means the immaterial is a description of Christ's resurrection look at Philippians 2:10 you will love this one Philippians chapter 2 verse 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow of things in heaven the immaterial and of things in the earth and things under the earth Philippians 3:20 Oh glory to God and I'm gonna close with that for our conversation for our conversation is in heaven from whence also we'll look for the Savior right now we are in heaven and our conversation is in heaven where we are Christ in you makes heaven a reality it's not a planet I'm going higher I'm going higher someday I'm doing higher yes I am going with Jesus who stay I'm going above that shadow a shadow there's no such Scripture in the Bible he has come to us he lives in us and somebody asked me in the facade is a question and he said okay dr. domina so if there's no planet were going to when Christians died where did they go intelligent question what did brother Paul say in the Bible to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord to live is Christ to die is gain so when you die you become heavens game where is heaven in Christ where are you now in Christ when you die where are you in Christ the same position those are you drop this you enter the immaterial on the resurrection morning you change from mortality to immortality and remain in the same realm where you are am i communicating at all that's the way the Bible teaches it's not flying I'm traveling if you want to fly when the airlines open up you can fly to Japan but heaven is a reality in Christ Jesus and our citizenship is in heaven right now every child of God that is born of God is seated in heaven right now you are seated in him you're not going to go you are dear now you know somebody was asking me a question Oh dr. domina you preach eternal salvation are you sure that somebody can not just backslide and go to hell and say well it depends on who saved you it depends on who saved you if you saved yourself you have to work hard to make it if you save Jesus you have to work hard to keep Jesus but if Jesus saved you then it is Jesus's responsibility to keep and he is able to save to the uttermost glory to God he saves to the uttermost you know in America they have what they call Air Force one FS 1 is the plane that POTUS fly POTUS is the President of the United States so there is no vehicle called Air Force One there's no particular aircraft called Air Force One the moment Donald Trump decides to fly a particular jet the moment he enters that jet it becomes Air Force One there's no particular if he comes in agile today and decides to fly with a bomb err the moment I ain't a ski bum err eben is no more eben air it becomes Air Force One so it is Donald Trump that makes a plane Air Force One anywhere Jesus sent us that is heaven if Jesus enters your heart heaven has arrived somewhere here so Jesus makes heaven heaven are we teaching here Jesus is what makes heaven heaven so Christ in you is heaven in you the Prophet said God has said eternity where in our hearts that's heaven immaterial so heaven is not a loss that heaven applause is a rubber of your salvation assurance I wrote an article in the week the chapter of the gospel guarantees you assurance and insurance any gospel that denies you assurance and insurance is fraud he says come it's a scam God God is not an idol it is I told that you that was given the idol you have to protect it we don't protect Christ Christ protect us he keeps us jesus said I give unto you eternal life and you shall never perish nobody shall pluck you out of my hand my father that gave you to me is greater than all and nobody can pluck you out of my father son oh I thought somebody was shot hallelujah that's our reality in Christ Jesus that's our reality so we are not looking for a planet we have found him he that has the son has life Christ the hope of glory in him we live and move and have our being he lives in us he works in us or somebody will stand up and shout glory a man stand on your feet that's all I've got for you in this size I can see you one more Wednesday 5:00 p.m. GMT
