The First Epistle of John by Keith Daniel

[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] as I said in verse 14 behold a virgin shall conceive a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and bear a son and so called his name to call his name Emmanuel now that word Emmanuel is a Hebrew word and it means God God God with us in all a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name God God God God with us 1 Timothy 3:16 great is the mystery of godliness God God was manifest in the flesh God with us God was manifest in the flesh 2 John chapter 1 verse 1 in the beginning was the word capital W and the Word was with God and the Word was God the Word was God verse 14 and the Word was made flesh the Word was God and the Word was made flesh God was made flesh and dwelt among us God God with us God manifest in the flesh God was made flesh and dwelt among us hallelujah now the age that apostle whom Jesus loved John he was moved to write a letter the First Epistle of John and he reflecting on these amazing revelations given to man reflecting on God with us God manifested the flesh God made flesh who dwelt among us he starts this letter which would be read by millions and millions and millions over the ages and he starts this led by God the Holy Spirit to write the divinely inspired Word of God for all generations he now writes moved by God the Holy Spirit don't doubt that concerning and he reflects upon this God manifest in the flesh that which was from the beginning that which was from the beginning which we have heard which we have seen with our eyes which we have looked upon that which is total in the beginning which we have heard we've heard we've seen with our eyes which we have looked upon and hands our hands have handled of the word of life our hands have handled of the word of life for the life was manifested and we have seen it and bear witness and so unto you that eternal life which was with the father and was manifested to us but which we have seen and heard that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you that he also may have fellowship with us that he also may have fellowship with us and truly our Fellowship is with the father truly our Fellowship is with the father and with his son Jesus Christ truly we do not lie this has been made possible this is possible truly our Fellowship is with the father and with his son Jesus Christ and these things these things right be unto you that your joy may be full that your joy may be full this then is the message which we have heard of him and declare unto you that God is light God is light God is light and in him is no darkness at all if we say that we have fellowship with him if we say that we have fellowship with him if we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness we lie we lie we lie and do not the truth but if we walk in the light if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship one with another I love that if if if if we walk in the light if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sand the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin a man wants us to meet me the man wants us to meet me in South Africa businessmen over lunch and he said to me if you were asked for one verse if you were asked for one verse in the entire Bible that you would like this nation to be confronted with but you would like this nation to be confronted with verse would you single out of the entire Bible I said the blood the blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanseth us from all the blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanseth us from all sin well he met me a few months later he met me a few months later and he had photographs and he said brother I asked you this because I said to God I'm going to ask this man and that verse I'm gonna put on billboards right across the whole nation every town across our land on the big billboards coming out the freeways of every city and going in with these big amazing billboard with black letters in the white background the blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanseth us from all sin hallelujah oh that thrilled me as he showed me the photographs of all these billboards in one city after the other across my nation and land the blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanseth us from all sin that is in a strange tense it isn't what we call the present the present continuous tense it's not just one cleansing it's a strange word here in the Greek it is cleanses and initial cleansing obviously that we know is salvation and it goes on cleansing after salvation through anything Satan might make us do in his war against the Saints present continuous tense it does not just claims at the new birth of course initially there must be this first cleansing when we come as sinners confessing to God our sinful state and so the blood cleanses initially at your salvation by grace through faith being justified freely by grace through faith in his blood being justified freely by grace through faith in his blood God says and this happens that salvation has become confessing ourselves as sinners and so he writes the next three verses staggering verses if we say if we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us if we if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness if we say that we have not sinned we have not sinned we make him a liar and his word is not in us how does that come now we call God a liar if we say that we have not sinned we make him a liar who our beloved God has said all have sinned Romans 3:23 there's none righteous no not one God says God says all we like sheep have gone astray all we like sheep have gone astray we have turned every one to his own way and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all he tastes the death for every man every man that's you brother you sister he tastes the death for every single man no man no man could be saved without the blood of Jesus Christ and no man can be saved unless they can come as sinners how can you ask God to save you from hell unless you know you're going to lose your knowledge you're going to it in case you think all the righteousness of your life will get you there all your righteousness is as you know God couldn't come down to a more word all your righteousness is as fear acts in my sight God says in Luke 18 verse 10 Jesus tells the story of two men two men went up into the temple to pray into the ordained religion of God two men went up into the temple to pray the talk to God to seek God the one a Pharisee the one the Pharisee a deeply religious man a deeply religious man he dressed religiously the Pharisees dress in a way deliberately carefully that every single person who saw the new they were sold on their religion they dressed so that they were marked out coming down the road you can see there's a Pharisee totally totally totally giving in to his religion unashamedly by the way he dresses they wouldn't be seen dead going to a worldly place they were in all the meetings by the by they wear the chief seats that was so faithful because they were all meetings they had the chief seats the Pharisees well two men went up into the temple to pray Jesus said the one of per se or God help me one a Pharisee a deeply religious man and the other Republican an irreligious man looked upon by the religious as godless to be a publican you must be godless the religious would have nothing to do with him here this deeply religious man comes to pray and this godless man comes to pray the Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself the Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself God I thank thee that I am not as other men are I thank thee that I am not as other men are now beloved that's the biggest mistake he ever made in his life because in God's eyes he is as over me now he is exactly another men are with always religion that's the greatest mistake and calculation he ever grasped in his mind I thank thee that I am NOT as a Levin are he couldn't put himself into the category of sinner and so he names these peoples he reasoned with himself I thank thee of not as other men are exhausting as unjust adulterers or even as this publican very fast I fast twice in the week I give tithes of all that I possess I'm not like other men when the publican Jesus said standing afar off would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven but smote upon his breast saying God be merciful to me God be merciful to me God be merciful to me a sinner it literally says listen he didn't look at anybody else to try and make himself feel a bit better that is not whereas others he didn't look at other people's since he just saw his own sand he came to God's house for one reason to get justified to find mercy for his sin and so he comes as a sinner and Jesus says these staggering words I tell you this man went down to his house justified rather than the other this man went down to his house justified he couldn't put himself into the category of a sinner this Pharisee I mean he's born on his raise in religion he hasn't been to the sins of the world he couldn't put himself and so this man grieves god I wonder what percentage oh I wonder what percentage I wonder what percentage of this world is going to hell through religion I wonder what percentage has kept men from acknowledging themselves is going to hell because they were raised in religion and didn't go out into the sis the six ends of the world what percentage they couldn't put themselves they couldn't come to God as a sinner because they were born and raised in religion protected from that Oh John says if we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves we deceive ourselves we deceive ourselves the truth is not in us if we confess our sins if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness if we say that we have not sinned we have not sinned we make him a liar we make him a liar and his word is not in US and so the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us initially as we can the sinners to God and don't deny that we're sinners and don't hide behind any righteousness as we look at other people's sins nothing in my hands I bring simply to the cross I cling simply to the cross I cling but now the blood of Jesus Christ God's Son continually cleanses us from all sin continually cleanses us from all sin and now we look at sins after salvation how his blood continues after salvation to cleanse and why why his blood will continue but be careful now watch how he begins when he deals with people who come after salvation for mercy he starts with this verse my little children these things write I unto you that ye sin not is that how to start when you talk about mercy if you fail these things write I unto you that ye sin not preach it brother well God will require you why you denied that's how it starts before you talk about cleansing and failures that is sin not and if if if if he would have said whenever doesn't matter how many times but no he says if if to you who I'm writing these things that you don't live in a life of sin if any man that lives that there any mansion any Christian anyone born of God of the salvation if any man sin we Ria's Christians we have an advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous and he is the propitiation for our sins he is the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world you see he tastes the death for every man he's the way to God for mercy the propitiation is a word taken from Leviticus 16 where the priest comes only the priest was allowed to come into the tabernacle into the holiest of all once a year to make atonement and he comes with an atoning sacrifice in this word propitiation literally means Jesus's are atoning sacrifice the other high priest comes he slaughters the animal he confesses the sins of the nation of the people of God and he sprinkles the blood on the mercy seat and here God is taking this this whole concept of the tabernacle which is literally in heaven literally the whole concept of coming to the mercy seat through this wonderful savior who his life became an atonement for our sins his blood his blood and here we have this wonderful concept If any man sin we have an advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous if you go against the law you need an advocate to stand and defend you before the judge you must get an advocate to stand and defend you but we have an advocate that stands before the Heavenly Father if we fail the Word of God the law of God he stands there with his own blood he points to the father and he comes and shows mercy his blood his blood is put toward the Father his death for any sin that might come as we confess it after salvation we have this advocate hallelujah Oh beloved we have not a high priest which cannot be moved with the feeling of our infirmities but was in all points tempted like as we are that's amazing but brother you think you're the only one that had such a temptation Christ said in all points he was tempted like as we are yet without sin wherefore there is come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy don't come brazenly come in humiliation but don't hesitate don't let the devil keep you down there if you fail we have an advocate who knows what it is to face the onslaught of all the piles of hell in every temptation you were faced he faced it somehow he understands he knows that on your road to the celestial City having turned from the narrow road to the from the broad road to the narrow road that with all the powers of hell it's possible that you could fall and God does not say look it's not possible he says there is such a thing to you who've turned from a life of sin that a failure could come but don't give up I know it could be possible I know what you went through I didn't sing but I am your high priest now that cannot be you with a feeling of your infirmities he's moved he's moved he's moved hallelujah romans 8 verse 31 what so we then say to these things if God be for us who can be against us he that spared not his own son but delivered him up for us all how shall he not with him also freely give us all things who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect it is God that justify it who is he that condemneth it is Christ that died yea rather that has risen again who is even at the right hand of God the Father who also maketh intercession for us beloved he ever liveth to make intercession for us he ever liveth reveries able to save them to the uttermost he's able to save them to the uttermost to come to God the Father through him because he to make intercession for us he's there at the right hand of God the Father interceding interceding this wonderful advocate who himself is the atonement the atoning sacrifice at Salvation his blood comes 1 Peter 1 verse 18 for as much as he know that he were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold from your vain conversation received by tradition from your father's but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot behold the lamb of God John says will taketh away the sin of the world he he is the atoning sacrifice he is the propitiation he comes to God with his blood he comes to God with the payment that you might be cleansed he paid the penalty for that receive it happens after salvation the blood continues to cleanse from anything but beloved be careful now be careful this is not speaking it's not a sin excusing doctrine this is not a sin excusing doctrine to those who've never come to a state of repentance who are still in unrepented States in a godless state this is not a sin excusing doctrine we've got to be careful my little children these things write I unto you that ye sin not he says so be careful to preach that before you cry out this preacher be not deceived no one righteous person shall into the kingdom of heaven God says not that the final surrender therein not that defileth so then to their holiness without which no man shall see God Jesus said he that committeth sin as a life of sin is the servant of sin but if the Sun shall set you free has he you shall be free indeed you cheapen that by saying I can't point to any point in my life where God ever changed me I'm still a life of sin nothing changed be not deceived if the Sun shall set you free from being a servant Romans 6 verse 16 know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey his servants ye are to whom ye obey whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness but God be thanked that he were the servants of sin but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which has delivered you being then made free from sin and become servants of righteousness you have your fruit o beloved be careful no he not the to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey his servants ye are God says to whom ye obey whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness be careful now If any man be in Christ Jesus he's a new creature old things are passed away behold all things become new for all these words nothing to you these things write I unto you that he said not that he said not but all God cries out to those who've turned from a life of sin and in a state of repentance they've turned from the broad road they down the narrow road thank God he said narrow narrow road here would that be if they don't call your narrow brother sister there's something wrong even in the most churches if they don't call you narrow is something wrong it's narrow a narrow narrow narrow that leads to life you came you turned God set you free you became free indeed you become a new creature in Christ only things have passed away and all the powers of hell and all the people of Hell will make sure you suffer beginning in your home a man's enemies become the members own household you'd have to wait your life is the conscience how is it that you've turned from the light you used to join us with do you think anyone can recover from that in your home that's why all who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution oh brother who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution neither godness the ungodly Oh be careful my little children these things write I unto you that yes and not but if on your road to the celestial City having turned from a life of sin and in a repentance state that shocks the world that cuts into the conscience of those who are not godly who are still innocent beginning in your home Oh with all the powers of hell against you in all the powers of all working through anyone even your loved ones once you turn once you turn it's possible you could fall God says now if if child you fall once you're in the state once you're in this repented state it's not the end don't you give up don't you give up get up get up look at your head okay here's the atoning sacrifice he ever liveth to make intercession to us and he promises God promises the blood of Jesus Christ his son continues after salvation in case the devil gets you to failure in your appended state and isolated failure confess it look to the blood looks the atoning sacrifice and there he will stand before the father and make an obsession for you and he promises you his blood will cleanse you as you walk with God his blood will cleanse your failure comes here and there under the onslaught of Satan and evil people look to the blood but be careful be careful it's not a sin excusing doctrine it's those who should not who turn from a life of sin and victory is there hallelujah my little children these things write I unto you aids a John says that he said not verse 3 and hereby we didn't know that we know him yeah but we do know that we know him hirabai we do know that we know him hereby we do know that we know him if we keep his Commandments he that saith I know him and keepeth not his Commandments he's a liar he that saith I know him and keepeth not his Commandments is a liar a liar a liar God says not me don't get angry with me but whoso keepeth his word in him verily is the love of God protected hereby no we were in him he that saith he abideth in him I love that word abideth he itself he abideth in him himself also so to walk even as he walked all that's a standard it's beyond comprehension but God says it he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also sold to walk even as he walked brethren I write no new commandment unto you I write no new commandment unto you with an old commandment which he had from the beginning of course he's reflecting now to the one commandment Christ added when he said a new commandment I give unto you he loved one another as I have loved you that ye also love one another by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples not professing Christians but those who follow him in truth to live according to his word in obedience to submit themselves to his teachings no matter what it costs by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples if ye have love one to another and so John reflecting on this amazing statement Christ added this command is new command he writes to these people and to us brethren I write no new commandment unto you but commandment which you had from the beginning the old commandment is the word but you've heard from the beginning again a new commandment I write unto you which thing is true in him and in you because the darkness of past in the true light now shine if he that saith he is in the light and hated his brother he that saith he's in the light and hated his brother he that saith he is in the light and hated his brother is in darkness even until now he that loveth his brother abideth in the light and there's none occasion of stumbling in him but he that hates as his brother is in darkness and worketh in darkness and north not whither he goeth because that darkness has blinded his eyes write unto you little children I write unto you little children because your sins are forgiven you because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake I write unto you father's I write unto you father's because ye have known him that is from the beginning I write unto you young men because ye have overcome the wicked one he ever will come the wicked one I write unto you little children because he have known the father I have written unto you father's because he have known him that is from the beginning I've written unto you young men because he is strong and the Word of God abideth in you overcome the wicked one love not the world love not the world neither the things that are in the world If any man love the world the love of the father is not in him of course he's taking these words now that were related by James the Lord's brother in Chapter four know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God James says whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God who Sara wants to be there with the wicked in their wickedness compromising and enjoying Nelson whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God don't doubt this so this godly godly John says love not the world chapter 2 verse 15 love not the world neither the things that are in the world if any man love the world the love of the father is not in him for all that is in the world the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world and the world passeth away and the lust thereof the world passeth away and the lust thereof but he that doeth the will of God he that doeth the will of God he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever little children it is the last time and as he of heard the Antichrist shall come as you've heard that Antichrist shall come even now are there many antichrists even now are there many antichrists whereby we know that it is the last time they went out from us but they were not of us for if they had been of us if they had been of us they would no doubt have continued with us if they had been of us they would no doubt have continued with us but they were not that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us but ye ye have an unction from the Holy One and he know all things I have not written unto you because he know not the truth but because he know it and that no lies of the truth who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ he is Antichrist the deniers the father and the son who civilize the son the same hath not the father but he that acknowledgeth the son hath the father also I wonder what the Jehovah Witnesses think about that who sort of deny it the son the same hath not the father but he that acknowledgeth the son hath the father also you know the Java witnesses didn't stop in this generation they didn't even start with what we think is their founder they were worried back from the beginning denying Jesus was part of the Godhead divining the divinity of Christ the triune God no way back into the 1st century right into the beginnings of the 2nd century the early church had a man called Arius and this man theologically minded caused an uproar amongst the early church he argued and reasoned that Christ could not be equal with God if he was created by God the Father he says is not equal he was denying he was denying the divinity of Christ how can he be God if he was created by God and so eventually there was a large following right then in the early church right at the beginning crying out against the thought that Jesus was God and many people were big influenced many people were deeply influenced and we've been thrown away to perverted doctrines from truth because of these heretical teachings you know the Jehovah Witnesses don't mind you saying that Jesus was son of God or the Son of God I mean in the book of jobs the angels were the sons of God they don't mind that calling Jesus the Son of God I mean you and I are called the sons of God in the New Testament but tell them this that Jesus was not the Son of God he was God the Son then they don't like it don't ever talk to Joe her witness about the Son of God he was the God the Son and John clearly teaches he was God he was not only God he was God the Creator he Jesus was the creator that part of the Trinity he was God the Creator he was God the Savior He is God the coming jugs and all this John teaches clearly he's God and God manifest in flesh oh well the Java witnesses will soon start wiping the dust of their feet of you and cursing you if you don't give up that thought be careful of them they know how to subtly change their doctrine to somehow get through to you you know if you're not right through they even talked about being born again now know that ever comes as an angel of light you know and the Debora only used the Bible when he attacked Jesus you think people aren't going to attack you with the Bible but the devil sends be careful it's probably only the Scriptures the tragedy is they just can't can stand in the right of the rest of the Scriptures not even the rest of that chapter nothing they say nothing they say will stand and so this john-boy Jesus worries us warns us I've not written unto you because he know not the truth but because he know it and that no lies of the truth who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ he is Antichrist that denies the father and the son who suffer denied the son the same hath not the father but he that acknowledgeth the son hath the father and so let that therefore abide in you which he have heard from the beginning if that which he heard from the beginning shall remain in you ye also shall continue in the Son and in the father and this is the promise that he has promised us even eternal life these things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you that pervert doctrine and truth and turn your way into heresy be careful continue in that which you've heard from the beginning if that was you've heard from the beginning so remain in you ye also shall continue in the Son and in the father and this is the promise that he has promised us even eternal life these things I return unto you concerning them not seduce you but the anointing which he have received of him abideth in you and you need not that any man teach you but as the same anointing teaches you of all things and his truth and is no lie and even as it has taught you he shall abide in him and now little children abide in him abide in him abiding him and now little children abide in him that when he shall appear we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him it is coming and now little children abide in him abide in you abide in him that when he shall appear we we we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him it is coming if you know if he know that he is righteous you know that everyone that doeth righteousness is born of him can I repeat it if you acknowledge that he's righteous and you believe he's righteous if you know that he is righteous you know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him behold behold what manner of love the father had bestowed upon us behold what manner of love the father hath bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God the sons of God therefore the world knoweth us not because it knew him not he loved it now now now are we the sons of God not not yet appear what we shall be but we know that when he saw appear when he shall appear we shall be like him we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is and every man every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself even as he is pure every man had had this hope that when Christ appears we will be conformed into his image by the work of the Holy Ghost and our yielded lives and seeking God will recognize Christ by what we recognize already in each other of Christ there's nothing more beautiful you will ever accomplish in life than to reveal Christ in your home Christ's likeness men will recover for messages but they won't recover for a christ-like life it will haunt them it could oh this is what God predestined us for this was in his heart that we would be conformed to the image of his son conform to the image of the son Oh every man that had this hope in him that when he shall appear we shall be like him we should be like him but we shall see him as he is every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself even as he is pure committeth sin transgresseth also the law for sin is the transgression of the law and you know that he was manifested to take away our sins and in him is no sin whosoever abideth in him sinneth not who's ever hided in him sinneth not who service sinneth had not seen him neither known him [Music] the children let no man deceive you he that doeth righteousness is righteous even as he is righteous he that committeth sin is of the devil for the devil sinneth from the beginning for this purpose was the son of God manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil whosoever is born of God does not commit sin who serve is born of God does not commit sin for his seed remaineth in him and he cannot sin he cannot sin because he is born of God in this the children of God are manifest and the children of the devil in this in this in this the children of God are manifest and the children of the devil who serve a doeth not righteousness is not of God who said that doeth not righteousness is not of God that's a staggering statement John makes you the one that John Wesley said when he was speaking about Fletcher Paul Fletcher is the holiest man that ever lived since the Apostle John well that's something about a reflection on John because this is the highest standard you'll ever find in the whole Bible what's being said yet in this book that's why it's so feared it is feared what does he mean when he said who server is born of God does not commit sin but he seed remaineth in him and he cannot sing he cannot sin because he is born of God I was in a debate in my country and great theologians that would make you tremble in their knowledge of the Scriptures I mean you would shrimp the thought have been confronted by them Sir most people would run and face that I happened to be there and those days I was more of a student than anything else and students don't mind a good fight you know well not physically though I have seen people resort to physical fighting strange thing people who say that they mustn't resist anything and to see them lined up in fistfights you know what for if you disagree with their doctrine you wonder what love is you can take is the personal level this amazing debate taking place this man stands up who was a great authority by the way with the script is a great authority greatly revered and he stood up and said concerning 1 John 3 because this was a being debated now where John says he cannot sin who's the committeth sin is of the devil the devil sinneth on the beginning for this purpose the Son of God manifest he says when it comes to who said was born of God does not commit sin proceed remain an enemy cannot sin now in the Greek he said in the Greek the original manuscripts you find it brings out not what the King James the authorized version brings out that somehow diverts us from the true meaning he says he says the newer translations bring out the truth of what the Greek says in its essence does not habitually live in sin but habitually lives in victory over sin if you're born of God so he thought he does a great favor with his great knowledge of Greek but tragically another man more revered than him stood up and I wonder what's going to happen here and he said brother I don't know where you learn Greek but you're wrong the original Greek the oldest of any manuscript no matter what text you use says exactly what the King's name says doth not commit sin his seed remaineth him he cannot sin because he is born of God and then he said I don't know where you learned the Greek again but I want to know something why would you lie if you don't know why would you stand you're lying about what God says by quoting Greek as an authority and then this man just swept along Greek like it was his own language your Testament Greek giving the equivalent word prove this going I suppose he is quite dumb in Greek I don't know how why would you lie I think the L&Y are the new translators lying from what the original say no matter what text you use you will give account to God if you lie and twist this book and I want to know why why you change God's original statements to suit your doctrine or preferences liberal theologians he said well amazingly the man who originally stood up and said he knows Greek I don't know how he disappeared but he was gone he just disappeared that's about all you can do when you prove yourself a liar and authority when you know nothing but now i sat there and I thought to myself you know this is interesting it's even thrilling at moments but they miss the whole point I mean there's no confusion John doesn't just give us chapter 3 . then we're in trouble John gives us chapter 1 2 3 and he's already told us in chapter 2 that it's possible for a Christian to sin it's not the end God isn't gonna give you up he he's gonna make sure you get through because his blood cleanses and clean he ever liveth to make himself God tells you it's possible in a repented state to fail to fail and you need the blood you need the blood you need the blood brother you're always going to need the blood with all the powers of hell against you but that doesn't mean you aren't going to live in wonderful consistent victory in between those moments that come when all hell turns against you and your wrists none of mine and you might fail in some word or reaction that isn't utterly christ-like who you need the blood so now John obviously doesn't think we're gonna think he's saying you cannot senior of the devil of any sin if it happens he knows he's cleared that already don't become like a job of a witness now please who just gives us a little few verses but you dare not start in the first chapter you don't even dare look at the verse before they stopped they wanna run screaming curses at you because you challenge them and make fools of them by the way don't be like that don't start reading Romans 9 unless you've read 1 2 3 and 4 and 5 etc don't just isolate don't just do it that's what the whole witnesses are guilty of doing we care not don't talk you don't even consider chapter 3 unless you've looked and realized it's obvious it's not saying you're of the devil if a failure comes so that's behind us so what does John actually mean then why would he say such things stating such statements in the Greek as it is in the new king in the King James Bible well in my limited understanding let me try and explain what I believe I have a friend and advocate in Pretoria the capital of South Africa's name is Mike Vandenberg a good man and he says much of me in our fellowship he was sharing her as a boy his godly father his godly father he said Keith my father was so gladly that I haven't recovered from his life to this day what I saw in him as a boy he was so godly he was probably the most godly person Ivan you in my life my own daddy but my father did something that shocked me he befriended a godless man a terribly godless man a foul-mouthed blasphemous profanity wicked thoughts wicked evil man that people were scared of coming here with children even the way the profanity just flew out this man was really defining in his godlessness and this is my father my godly father would always stop at the gate look up and go up the steps and sit with the men have a cup of tea and sit for an hour or so he would always stop in the street but he found one night stand there talking he became a friend of my father's and it stunned me I stood there looking at this man looking at my father why does my father make this man his friend this man's wicked and then he said one day suddenly my father died prematurely cut off from us I was still young and there at the funeral this godless man came and he walked past me and as a boy I touched his own and I should say I have something to ask you my father was godly my father was godly and I know that you're ungodly I know that you blaspheme you swear you use profanity and I know the wickedness of your language people are scared you're so defining and I have stumbled over this why is it my father who is so godly could befriend you could seek out your company could sit with you why how is that possible it's been something it stumbles me sir this man looked at this boy and tears welled up in his eyes and they started pouring down his face and he said in shame my boy I couldn't sing in front of your father he never knew but you somehow know of me he was so godly that I could never swear I could never say profanity I could never express anything evil I couldn't do it to him because of his life his godliness he never knew beloved if a godless man in the presence of a godly man cannot sin how much more we in the presence of God cannot do it and now this is this whole thing this is the whole thing we have to be in his presence whosoever abideth in him John says this is the point not that you're not of God if a failure comes the point is victory is the result of salvation but the direct result once we say to abiding in and whosoever abideth in him sinneth not that's the answer is giving us he's not giving us some controversy here or contradiction to his own words before he wouldn't think we're capable of contradicting what he's already clearly stated his whole concept is what he starts with we have fellows with God the Father with his son these things right to ng that your joy may be full listen one verse after the other if we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness we lie we lack you can't even say if he has fellowship with him if we say we have fellowship with him we ought to walk even as he walked he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk even as he walked little children abide in him that when he shall appear we may have confidence and not be ashamed this is how we kept - going back to the sins of the world the community with God the work of fellowship in the spirit and fulfilled not the lust of the flesh Welkin community with bound and beloved he's in you his seed remains in you when you were born of God the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit come into your whole being you the temple of knowledge he isn't miles up there crying out don't don't do this he's in you and in you the chicks of the Holy Spirit as you commune by the way as you keep in touch with God by communing with God staying in an abidance with God this literal abiding or it all begins at the cria time is the cry time not your most vital areal thing in life you won't abide through the day if it's a lie you just sleep on your knees you won't but get that gear on that you've got half an hour a vital reality than two hours of allies sleeping in your knees and that right the reality in the quiet time of communing even to get up and say now I've done my duty I can leave God behind no you get up when God says now child you can get up and go because now you'll be able to walk with me that's a quiet time anything less isn't a quiet time and this this abiding in him in his presence we cannot give seeds in us the holy spirit saying metal no fear one of the great preachers of our country he said to me you know what I see this as meaning brother Keith cannot sin because the seed remaineth him in him he cannot sin because he is born of God he said if the man stands up on a building with a little baby and yours someone else stands down there and calls up and says throw the baby to me what so I can catch the worry don't doubt it come though I can't of course you can of you're mad you can you know you can but I can but I can't law of love makes you unable to do what you can do that could hurt how much more hurting God I can't I can't of course I can you can sin when the devil tends to you but you you can't if you're abiding in him if can two walk together except they be agreed God says like Enoch walked with God no wonder he was so holy this communing with God and so he cries out in the next verse verse 10 staggering staggering verse in this in this in this in this in this is manifested that surely the devil this the children of God are manifested and the children of the devil in what now listen carefully because this is going to shock every one of you that don't know God in truth and you're never going to recover sir till you get to know him in this the children of God manifests my son to be God's children and the children of the devil are shown to be the devil's children even if they're religious and in church every Sunday they give their tithing this that surely have got a manifest and the children of the devil whosoever doeth not righteousness who should I do if not righteousness is not of God but stop now it is in the first job neither he that loveth not his brother this the children of God and manifests and the children of the devil who said doeth not righteousness is none of God neither he that loveth not his brother what can that be as important as to be righteous I mean holiness without which no man shall see God I strive to keep them sin and evil how can this be equally important I mean he doesn't even say this is not so important even if Jesus said by this shall all men know that you are my disciples if ye have love one for another this commandment I give you this new commandment that ye love one another now this verse 10 chapter 3 verse 10 it is the pivot upon which the whole books revolves it's the axle of the wheel of the whole book every spoke coming out of the axle is different verses but believe it there's not one single verse in the whole book from beginning to end that hasn't got this attached to it attached Sutan bringing out this one thing these two things I just miss and love in this the children of God a manifest and the children of the devil who said that doeth not righteousness that's the first part of the book mainly neither he that loveth not his brother here comes the second part a barrage of God's Word proving you're of the devil if you do not love the Brethren now listen in case you think I'm exaggerating just listen just listen and remember this he already touched in it quite a few times but now he's gonna hit it home he said already in chapter 2 verse 10 he said already he that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother is in darkness even until now he's in love with his brother abided in the light and there's none occasion of stumbling in him but he that hateth his brother is in darkness and walketh in darkness and knoweth not whither he goeth because that darkness has blinded his eyes is still in darkness if you have hatred don't lie you're a liar God says he that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother is a liar don't doubt it he's a liar in this the children of God are manifest what's all those folks just turning around teaching this one thing and the children of the devil who server doeth not righteousness is not of God neither he that loveth not his brother but this is the message that we heard from the beginning this is the message that we heard from the beginning that we should love one another that we should love one another that we should love one another not as Cain who was of that wicked one and slew his brother and wherefore slew him because his own works were evil his own works were evil and his brothers righteous wherefore slew him because his own works were evil and his brothers righteous mother not my brethren if the world hate you even if they live in the church Marvel not my brethren of the world hate you we know that we have passed from death unto life because we love the Brethren we know that we've passed from death unto life because we love the Brethren he that loveth not his brother abideth and death whosoever hates his brother is a murderer he's a murderer and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him hereby perceive we the love of God because he laid down his life for us and we ought to lay down our lives for the Brethren we also lay down our lives of the Brethren but whoso hath this world's good whoso hath this world's good and see if his brother have need and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him how dwelleth the love of God in him my little children let us not love in Word neither in tongue but in deed and in truth whoso hath this world's good in this room today and see if his brother have need and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him how dwelleth the love of God in him my little children is not nothing word another than time James said the same said the two verse 14 what does it profit my brethren though a man say he hath faith and have not works can faith save him if a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food and one of you say to them depart in peace be warm and full notwithstanding you give the those things which are needful to the body what are the profit even so faith if it hath not works is dead it's worthless in God's sight be your own missile John says exactly the same thing my little children let us not love in Word neither in tongue but in deed and in truth and here but we know that we are of the truth here but we know that we are of the truth and shall assure our hearts before him for if our heart condemn us God is greater than our heart and knoweth all things if you sit yesterday in your hearts condemning you God saying God is greater than your heart and knoweth all things all things beloved if our heart condemn us not in this building today if our heart condemn us not then then then have we confidence toward God and whatsoever we ask we receive of him whatsoever we ask we receive of him because we keep his Commandments because we keep his Commandments and do those things that are pleasing in his sight and this is his commandment this is this commandment that we should believe in the name of his son Jesus Christ and love one another as he gave us commandment and he that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in him and he and him here buying every we know that he abided in us because he has given us of his spirit capital ish he has given us of his spirit and the fruit of the Spirit you know his love always starts with love by the way because nothing else is there if it isn't there first in your life yeah why we know that he abideth in us because he has given us of his spirit a spirit beloved believe not every spirit but try the spirits whether they are of God do you do you you accept anything from God Robert believe not every spirit but try the spirits whether they're of God because many false prophets have gone out into this world jesus said that in Matthew 7 beware of false prophets beware you think Christ said that and it isn't gonna happen you'll be so careful we're a false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves you shall know them by their fruits do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire not every one that saith unto me Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven but he that doeth the will of my father which is in him many will say to me in that day Lord Lord have we not prophesied in thy name and by the way that word prophesied is in some high-pitched tone voice with some message from God adding to the Bible because the Bible is not good enough the broad prophecy in the context of the New Testament in the light of what Christ was saying according to John Wesley and even your Jonathan Edwards in case you need a little bit of authority behind it in its context is speaking about preaching . that's the gift to be sort of in its context and this dispensation is not some little utterance of some message that somebody's sitting in the meeting here with a blue dress that doesn't love their husband huh prophecy according to the greatest leaders our faith all unitedly is this anointed unction eyes preaching anointed inks and eyes preaching and teaching of the Oracles of God in the light of eternity those are the words of the greatest theologian that ever lived and agreed by everyone else that made a mock for God than ever made some commentary on it many will say to me in that day how many I don't know how many in your churches across this land well they know that Christ's can find how many do you think who say in this lands puppets many who prophesy would say to me in that day Lord Lord have we not prophesied it we not preached in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils oh my in thy name by the way people can cast out Devils in the name of Jesus listen to what he says to them we've done many wonderful works many wonderful works miracles in my name then will I profess unto them I never knew you I wonder how many preachers God would say this to never knew you depart from me ye that work iniquity you that are still innocent even never turn from a life of sin you've never painted holiness without which no man shall see God you've never turned everything you preached cried out back to you like Nathan you're the man but this so preached this cell of Liberty Donald Benton's on such hypocrisy his anger I never knew you depart from me be that work in you so John now is godly age of John he cries out in his litter love and compassion throbbing in his heart to keep the church pure beloved believe not every spirit believe not every spirit but try the spirits whether they're of God because many false prophets have gone out into the world many false prophets have gone out into the world hereby know ye the Spirit of God hereby know ye the Spirit of God every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God and this is that spirit of Antichrist where have you heard that it should come and even now already in the world this is that spirit of Antichrist where have you heard that is a-comin even now already in the world here of God little children year of God little children and have overcome them because greater is He that is in you greater is He that is in you that he Thurs in the world they are of the world therefore speak they of the world in the world heareth then we are of God he that knoweth God heareth us he that is not of God heareth not us hereby know we the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error let us love one another let us love one another for love is of God and every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God he that loveth not knoweth not God for god is love and this was manifested the love of God toward us because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him here in his love not that we love God but he loved us and sent his son to be the propitiation for our sins beloved if God so loved us we are told to love what Allah no man has seen God at any time if we love one another god dwelleth in US and his love is perfected in us you know what he's saying yeah then can't see God but if we love one another they see him through us that's been confirming the image of Jesus Christ son you become like Christ you become so christ-like if you let God have his way but men see the reality of God to see what the nature of God the goodness the holiness of God through your life you see why it's so important there by no we that we dwell in him and he in us because he had given us of his spirit and we have seen and to testify that the father sent the son to be the savior of the world who serve us will confess that Jesus is the Son of God God dwelleth in him and he in God and we have known we've known we have known and believed the love that God has to us we have known and believed the love that God has to us god is love and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God and God in him Karen is our love made perfect that we may have boldness in the day of judgment and we may have boldness in the day of judgment because as he is so are we in this world there is no fear in love there is no fear in love but perfect love perfect love perfect love casteth out whole fill because fear has torment and he that feareth is not made perfect in love there's no fear in the love God wants you to have toward him here suddenly there's no fear in this love God has not given us a spirit of fear he'd not received the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind God says if you received his spirit you haven't received the spirit I'll that you can a boldness in the Day of Judgment you can know I know whom I believed and am persuaded that he's able to keep that which I've committed against in that day do you know I'm persuaded I had no doubt God's gonna keep me but you live in fear now you're not gonna make it you're in fear God's gonna forsake you you have the fear all the time oh brother there's a fear a revenge of reverential fear but there's another fear the devil uses fear hath torment perfect love that God wants you to have an imperfect trust in its promises that I will never leave you nor forsake you I'm with you to the end either have begun a good work in you shall perform it what separated who so separate us from the love of Christ so to be lays in distress persecution famine nakedness peril sword as is written now I'm not making a statement here of some faith on the touching of this quote in the Bible if your beliefs your doctrines brother can't corporate the other side quote all the time well then you're in trouble quote anything I believe in the keeping power of God not because of John Calvin and don't you dare call me a Calvinist just so that you can say I belong to the side no all I'm guilty of is believing more than John Calvin ever believed I think God that God asked me to believe not to live in fear but he was able to keep me to keep every type that delivered unto him against that day we may have boldness in the day of judgment God requires a perfect love in him a perfect trust and he that feareth is not made perfect in love if you're going to live in doubt and fear all the time another devil accuse you all the time you can never be made perfect you never I never perfect in you what I'm wanting to do hallelujah [Music] we love him because he first loved us we love him because he first loved us if a man say I love God and hateth his brother if a man say I love God and hateth his brother he's a liar he's a liar but he that loveth not his brother whom he has seen how can he love God whom we have not seen and this commandment have we from him that he who loveth God love his brother also he who loveth God love his brother also whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that has begotten of him missus deal Moody's great text he shook the church didn't he every one that loveth him that beget that gave birth to the spiritual death to the children of God loveth him also that is the garden you know you love God he said if you love God's children you know you're right with God if you find love cover of the multitude of sins and doesn't want evidence and then you listen to destroy him that puts you right into the hands of the camp of the devil God says to John be careful whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God and every one that loveth him the big act loveth him also that has begotten of him by this we know that we love the children of God when we love God and keep his Commandments but this is the love of God that we keep his Commandments this is what it means to love God that we obey Him you hate God if you say you love him and you don't obey Him you deny him you undermine him you write books against what he said to try and explain away and excuse and apologize to what Christ said watch it preaches you say you love God this is what it means to love God according to John this is the love of God that we keep his Commandments and His commandments are not Grievous for whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world hallelujah what server overcome the world and this is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith who is he that overcometh the world but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God who is he that overcometh the world but he had believer that Jesus is the Son of God this is he that came by water and blood even Jesus Christ not by water only but by water and blood and it is a spirit it is a spirit that beareth witness because the Spirit is truth but there are three that bear record in heaven the father the word and the Holy Ghost and these three are one hallelujah the problems to the Fatah witnesses right from all areas how he got past that I don't know this fear one there are three that bear record in heaven the father the word capital W and the Holy Ghost capital H and these seoeon don't deny it don't become a radical and question it god didn't ask you to understand that the trinity he asked you to believe it and once you get faith setting faith you believe it you don't have problems over it so you're not saved if you don't believe it it can't be it can't be the spirit bears witness to this there are three that bear record in heaven the father the word and the Holy Ghost and these three are one and they're three that bear witness in earth the spirit and the water and the blood and these three agree in one if we receive the witness of men the witness of God is greater for this is the witness of God which he has testified of his son he that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself he that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself the same as Romans 8 verse 16 the spirit itself also beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God we know either believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself either believeth not God hath made him a liar because he believeth not the record that God gave of his son and this is the record that God has given to us eternal life and this life is in his son he that hath the son hath life and he that not the son of God hath not life these things are I written unto you that believe on the name of the son of God that you may know that he have eternal life and that he may believe on the name of the Son of God and this this this is the confidence that we have in him this is the confidence that we have in him that we are if we ask anything if we ask anything according to his will he hears us and we know that he hear us whatsoever we ask we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him he's speaking about what he said in chapter 2 verse 20 if a heart condemn us not then have we confidence in what God whatsoever we ask we receive of him because we keep his Commandments and do those things that are pleasing in his sight the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much the eyes of the Lord over the righteous his he is open unto their prayers but the face of the Lord is against them to do evil oh this is the confidence that we have in him and whatsoever we ask we receive of him oh praise the Lord this is the confidence that we have in him but if we know that he hear us and if we ask anything according to his will he heareth us according to his will he hears us and we know that he hear us whatsoever we ask we know that we have the petitions that we desired him and then suddenly does something shocking he gives an example the only example he gives him asking and receiving if you right with God If any man see if any man see his brother sin if any man see oh the devil got you just in the right spot in name I saw If any man see his brother sin the sin what do you do the telephone I saw him the preacher I saw her walking in a pious with a Bible just like that is it better than me I saw I said what do you do if any man woman see her brother sister sin you go and make sure that's the end of their testimony all right you've got that medicine the devil knew just let him get in the right place in our wiping mouth because he makes off if you see someone else Feli brother don't forget all the mercy God's soda nuisance you've been saved because if you do and you expose someone else's sin I guarantee you God would do things that he would have kept under the blood and safeguarded you in front of your children in front of your wife in front of your church in front of your posture he'll bring it up I've seen it again and again when men try and expose others and think they have the right to rebuke before all of us isn't Paul said that but beloved be careful that's a rare thing when a man really has to be challenged really has to be tight until then you put yourself in such danger with what you do when you see someone soon you know what this man said concerning asking interceding crying out with faith to God the confidence we have knowing that it's as well gives us illustration if any man see his brother sin a sin which is not under this which is nothing to death he saw us that means a composite cry and he shall give him life for them that sin nothing there your cry to God your confessional god protect him protect her that no one else finds out God let me see God but I'm never gonna pass this on it'll destroy her it'll undermine his right to her preach again I send I favor God I cannot go and destroy them I didn't mercy but I want the police to protect as you protected me from being exposed and given no right in front of my children even if that sort if that look if that word was it was thrown out all the way through my life that God's blood was needed to flames he cries out compassionately please God deal with him deal with her deal with the son I'll speak to the heart before it all goes worse and things get out as the end of them please God help who and if you right with God at that time and you have confidence with God you have the right to pray for someone else's failures that you see he shall ask and he shall give him life for them that sin not on the day there is a sin unto death I do not say that he should pray for it that's a difficult verse so don't challenge me too much okay I'll do the best I can though there is a sin unto death I do not say that he shall pray for it there's one sin that God cannot forgive the sin against the Holy Ghost the bless him against the Holy Ghost and many many Christians things they've committed if they cursed it they in stress of they sickness I've and preachers a man who confessed one day to me and said you know Keith I've never recovered but when I was a boy I had eleven sickness as I was delirious my mind was gone and I started cursing God I cursed him and I swore every filthy word other boy could think in anger and hatred and since then I got saved but Keith I get this accusation that I committed that I really am never going to be forgiven so I said to this preacher brother you didn't commit it otherwise you wouldn't have any concern anyway about sin no forgiveness you can't if the Holy Spirit's left you totally there's no such a thing as you want in God the only thing it is to commit a sin that God will never ever be able to sin to forgive is what the Pharisees did when they looked at Jesus Christ himself and said it's by the power of the devil visible that he's doing these miracles they looked at Christ and because of jealousy and hatred knowing he was righteous knowing they were unrighteous in their motives nor even wanted any excuse to kill him knowing they had to undermine him through carnality and certain rejects of light knowingly you look at Christ and to defend anything you stand for you say it was the devil that did that to him Satan's power worked those miracles outside of that there's no such a thing coming here so don't let the devil accuse you okay I've never met a person in my life that committed that sin and I've prayed with thousands and thousands individually individually even with murderers I prayed for unforgiveness there is a sin unto death I do not say that he should pray for it or unrighteousness is sin and there's a sin not unto death we know that whose server is born of God sin is not but he that has begotten of God keepeth himself and that wicked one touches the knot and we know that we are of God and the whole world lieth in wickedness in the hands of the wicked we know as we walk by what comes against us even there in the hands of the devil the whole world but we are at God and the whole world lies in the hands of the wicked and we know that the Son of God is come and have given us an understanding that we may know him they remain know him that is true and we are in him that is true even in his son Jesus Christ this is the true God and eternal life this is the true God and eternal life beloved keep yourselves from idols keep yourselves or idols [Music] and then he says I mean Oh sacred head now wounded with grief same way down now scornfully surrounded with thorns line only crown Oh sacred head glory what bliss to know was thine yet though despised and gory by joy to call thee Oh noblest

vouchsafe to me my grace language shall I borrow to Frank the dearest friend this by dying sorrow by pity without Oh make me shine forever and should i fainting be Lord let me never outlive my love for thee being here when I am dying so thy cross to me and for my sicker flying come load to set me free these eyes new faith receiving from Jesus Errol not move for he dies bleah [Laughter] dies
