you on a gospel adventure right now into that service where the spirit of our god is already moving happy viewing we're starting a journey tonight i hope you have your barrels and notebooks we're going to explore the book of galatians understanding the book of galatians the bible tells us in john chapter 1 verse 1 in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god in the beginning was the word actually means in the beginning was the reason the thought the essence or in other words in the beginning was the explanation of all things in john chapter 1 verse 14 it says that word became 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 that word became flesh and dwelt among us which word the explanation of all things the word is the explanation of all things meaning that the explanation of scripture is in a person the explanation of scripture is in a pressing through that person the scriptures make sense to us the explanation of the scriptures are in a passing through that person the scriptures make sense to us let me just give you an illustration to help you understand what i just said hebrews chapter 12 verse 5 to 6 talking about the correction of the law and you have forgotten the exaltation we speak it unto you as unto children my son despise not doubt the chastening of the lord nor faint went down attribute of him next verse for whom the lord loved it he chastened it and scorched every son whom he received and we've already said that you know in the old testament you won't see the words courage from where this scripture was made reference to now you know some people believe that the chastening of the lord has to be with the lord trying to teach you a lesson through sickness or trying to teach you a lesson through poverty or trying to teach you a lesson through hard times you see some believers when they're going through hard moments they will say the lord is trying to get my attention that must be some cruel father sometimes believers are going through a very bad situation with health their health is under heavy attack they say i'm sure the lord is trying to teach me a lesson to teach me how to calm down how to meditate and how to study so they paint a picture of god as a cruel master you know meaning that they do not believe the words of jesus because if you believe that everything that god says in the scripture is explained in christ then you will not think of sickness as god teaching you a lesson you won't think of poverty as god teaching you a lesson so in order for us to understand a little bit of that and decipher the scripture we just read we have to go back to the gospels and see the modus operandi of jesus jesus speaking in the gospel says he that has seen me has seen the father meaning i am the exclusive revealer of the father all i am the father made manifest or i give expression to the character of the father meaning if you cannot see jesus you cannot see the father and if you don't know jesus you cannot know the father he says i am the way no man can go to the father except by me it's not talking about road of travel he was talking about nobody can access the revelation or the unveiling of the father except i am unveiled to him again jesus is the explanation of the scriptures or the scriptures are explained in a person the person of the christ explains the scriptures to us so let's watch this how did jesus rebuke people when he was on earth he didn't rebuke people with sickness he didn't rebuke people with disease he rebuked people with words with words so the chastity of the lord will be with words he never stumped anybody with with a fever to teach him a lesson jesus never destroyed somebody with poverty to teach him a lesson he expresses the father to us he reveals a father to us and the bible tells us he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil for god was with him so if jesus reveals the father to us and jesus never got anybody rebuked by sickness disease or poverty or going through a hard time then the father certainly does not rebuke people by sickness poverty disease and tough times how did jesus rebuke people he rebuked people with words for example you know he said to peter let us go over to the other side the instruction was let us go over to the other side the instruction was let us go over to the other side when they were on their way to the other side there was a great storm of wind and you know it was boisterous and jesus was sleeping and peter walked to jesus and said master carries down not that we perish he didn't rebuke peter he just did the first of all first of all he rebuked the wind and the waves he took care of the problem then he now said to them why did you doubt i mean look at peter walking in the water jesus peter said to jesus if you're the one master beat me to come to you on the water jesus said come that's exactly why i'm walking to show you what potentials you have so peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water and then he began to sink jesus didn't stand to say i have been warning you peter you mean all the teachings i have taught you you couldn't even walk on the water while rebuking peter peter will be drinking water peter will be dead because while he is trying to scorch peter he will destroy peter but what did jesus do when peter started sinking he moved to him and grabbed him he first of all helped him then when he has rescued him while they were walking back to the water i said why did you doubt that means god does not look for how to get you at a point of advantage to teach you a lesson in fact if you get into a point of advantage he comes to your rescue first before using words to rebuke you i'm teaching here so jesus explains the father to us jesus reveals the father to us and if you're watching or you're in the service you've always thought that god will use calamities to teach you a lesson well you were misled actually somebody defrauded you somebody carried out a fraud on your person because god does not use satan's equipment to instruct his children he uses words to instruct his children if you understand that can i hear you a good amen and he does not rebuke you only with words he rebukes you with words in love he rebukes you with words in love for example peter is doubting him but first of all he comes to his rescue that is love then after rescuing him as they walk together he now rebukes him with words he could have allowed him to drink the water as a rebuke but that is not in him it's not his nature somebody said well god sent a tornado to destroy the city because there are a lot of homosexuals in the city and a lot of drunkards in the city that is not consistent with the character of god because even sodom and gomorrah that was given to a lot of adultery and immorality god still gave them a chance even on the day of destruction he said give them a chance the angels came to give them good message to give them the message but they rejected christ and sodom and gomorrah was a typology of the end of the world that if you reject christ then you will be consumed the act of noah was a typology of the end of the world that if you refuse to enter the act you refuse to accept the message of salvation when the act is closed when the world ends then you will have to be swallowed by the flood these are all typologies of the end of time revealing what happens to people who reject the gospel i don't know if i'm communicating so jesus explains to us the scriptures or the scriptures are explained in christ i didn't hear somebody shout hallelujah i didn't hear somebody shout hallelujah so the bible is explained in a person to be able to understand the bible you must look at the bible in a person john 5 39 search the scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life and they are they which testify of me in them you think because in them you don't have eternal life eternal life is not in the scriptures eternal life is in a person eternal life is not in the scriptures eternal life is in a person but the scriptures testify of the person the scriptures testify of the person but eternal life is not in the scriptures italian life is in the passing i don't know if i'm communicating here because verse 40 of that john 5 says and you will not come to me the person that you might have life life is not in the scriptures life is in a person the scriptures cannot give life only jesus gives life jesus is life the book of first john chapter 5 verse 20 and we know that the son of god is come and have given us an understanding that we may know him the son of god has come to give us an understanding that we may know him that is true and we are in him that is true who is this him even in his son jesus christ who is jesus christ this is the true god who is the true god and eternal life so jesus is a true god and jesus is eternal life so when we say you have received eternal life what do we mean you have received jesus what do we mean you have received the true god i don't know if i'm communicating jesus is the true god jesus is eternal life eternal life is jesus the true god is jesus to receive jesus is to receive the true god to understand jesus is to understand the true god to understand jesus is to understand eternal life john 17 3 and this is life eternal that they may know you the only true god so who is the only true god jesus christ whom thou has sent jesus christ is the only true god if you don't know jesus you don't know the true god you can know religion you can know about god but you cannot know god till you know jesus no man can come to the father but by me why he is life eternal this is life eternal that they may know you so eternal life is a blessing eternal life is a person when we say you have received eternal life what we mean is that god or jesus or eternal life the same thing has walked into you he that has the son has life life is in the sun [Music] life is not in the scriptures but the scriptures reveal to us the sun very important so knowing the scriptures and quoting the scriptures doesn't give life that you memorize scriptures and you can code scriptures doesn't give life the life that the scriptures testify of can only be experienced in a person i'm teaching here the life that the scriptures testify of can only be experienced in a person so life is in a person and the essence of the entire document called the scriptures is the revelation of jesus the essence of the entire book called the scriptures is the revelation of jesus that's why he said they are they the scriptures which testify of me if you are with me shout i hear you i say if you are with me shout i hear you in luke chapter 24 verse 27 if all you're doing is to study the bible so you can know the bible you are in an academic pursuit if all you are doing is to study the bible so you can know the bible you are you and a theologian who doesn't know jesus are the same your study of the bible is not for just head knowledge your study of the bible is to unveil god to you so you and god can have a more effective relationship does that sense the essence of teaching the essence of study is so that god can be unveiled because the more you know god the more effective you are in your relationship many can pray because they don't know jesus so they are praying to the unknown god when you are praying to the unknown god how can you pray how you have to know him i know the riches that he has provided in knowing him praise god oh i say praise god luke 24 27 and beginning at moses of course we know the story on the way to emmaus he met this gentleman who were disciples of his we are discussing about his death and burial and they were talking to jesus jesus called them fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken to cure them of that kind of foolishness beginning at moses of course you know moses is genesis exodus leviticus numbers the tournament toronto manifesto books of the bible beginning at moses and all the prophets he expounded onto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself the things in the scriptures what makes the scripture scriptures are the things concerning him why the scriptures are explained in a person or jesus is the explanation of the scriptures please is very important he said the scriptures he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself he is the message of the scriptures so hence we say that the bible is a crystal-centric material he took them through the whole old testament because when he was expounding to them in all the scriptures there was no luke there was no new testament so where he expounded to them was genesis to malachi and he said genesis to malachi testify of me and then to prove that beginning at moses and all the prophets old testament he expounded unto them in all genesis to malachi the things concerning himself are you still here i said are you still here so pay attention the understanding of the scriptures therefore the scriptures are understood therefore when they are pointing to jesus the understanding of the scriptures is when the scriptures are taught in a way where they point to jesus anything else said that will leave you in limbo it will leave you in confusion in that luke chapter 24 look at what happened to them in verse 43 and he took it and did it before them and he said unto them these are the words which i spoke unto you while i was here with you that all things must be fulfilled which were written where in the law of moses and where and in the prophets and where and in the psalms how concerning me concerning me then next verse opens here their understanding that they might understand the scriptures when you see jesus your understanding opens to understand the scriptures that testify of him then opened here their understanding that they might understand the scriptures no wonder paul said to his son timothy in second timothy 3 15 that from a child thou has known the holy scriptures which are able to make the wise unto salvation through faith which is in christ jesus that word known is the word acquaint to acquaint yourself or to be a friend of something to know something to be acquainted or to be a friend or to be familiar with something you have known you have been acquainted with the holy scriptures which are able to make the wise unto salvation through faith which is in christ jesus second peter chapter 1 verse 19. we have also a martial word of prophecy where unto you do well that ye take heed as unto a light that shines in a dark place until the dead on and the desta arise in your hearts next verse knowing this first that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation the word private interpretation there means private origin or private source that she said no prophet prophesied from what he felt or what he thought all prophets pulled out their prophecy from the same container all the old testament prophets pulled out their prophecy from the same container that means their prophecy is the same no private origin nobody prophesied from his own private source all of them prophesied from a collective source meaning that if you go through all their prophecies it is saying the same thing in different forms are we together here no prophecy of the scripture of the scripture no prophecy of the scripture is of any private source origin so the scriptures have one origin the scriptures have one origin referring to the singularity of the scriptures or the singularity of the mind of the scriptures referring to the singularity of the mind of the scriptures that no scripture is of any private interpretation look at verse 21 for the prophecy somebody said the prophecy he didn't say for prophecy he said for the prophecy for the prophecy not for prophecy meaning a particular class of prophecy talking about the prophecy of the scripture for the prophecy came not in all time by the will of man meaning no man just stood up and prophesied what he thought it didn't originate from an individual's opinion when it comes to the scripture you don't have an opinion please listen carefully that's why the scripture must interpret itself you don't have an opinion you rightly divide it let it interpret itself why the bible will never mean today what it never meant when it was written the bible can never mean today what it never meant when it was written that's why it is of no private interpretation it was not a circumstantial prophecy it was not a man's opinion it was not the will of a man all the prophets pulled out their prophecy from the same origin because all of them we are moved by the holy ghost i'm teaching here please if you're with me say here that's why the scripture has no respect for persons and it has no respect for situations we don't subject the bible to future situations no we don't preach circumstantial messages we give you doctrine when you are established in doctrine from a doctrinal position you handle situations we don't neutralize the potency of scripture to become circumstantial no no no we give you the mind of god as revealed in christ when you receive that and you see yourself in christ then any situation notwithstanding whether we label them or not you can handle it in christ so what we give you is doctrine what we give you is doctrine we don't give you motivation we don't teach you entrepreneurship we don't teach you how to survive recession those are circumstantial messages we reveal christ to you when you see yourself in christ recession will obey you method clinton gong glue da no scripture is of any private interpretation therefore the scriptures cannot be subjected to the will of a man because they never originated from man but they came from the same origin holy men speak as all of them were moved by the holy ghost look at it now but holy men of god's peck as they were moved by the holy ghost so all of them spoke from the holy ghost hey gabado all of them did what spoke from where from the holy ghost and you know the holy ghost has one mission to reveal jesus so all of them spoke the revelation of jesus as enabled by the holy ghost this is very important you understand this more when you look at first peter chapter 1 verse 10 of which salvation the prophets have inquired and such diligently who prophesied of the grace that shall come unto you they were searching that's why the prophecy didn't come from their will if the prophecy came from their will they wouldn't search will have been prophesying what they knew but because it was not originated from men after they prophesied it they had to search because this is not coming from me and i don't understand what i'm saying it doesn't make sense to me all the prophets look at it searching what or what manner of time the spirit of christ which was in them did signify when it testified beforehand what was the testimony of the spirit the sufferings of christ so allah to melitta the content and context of the prophecy is summarized in the sufferings of christ and the glory that will follow there are two basic things about christ he will suffer and out of his suffering glory will follow and that is what threat runs through the book called scriptures it runs through the prophecy of the prophets so the entire bible is christ centered is crystal-centric the bible is not a teaching on ideas for technology we are not here to give you bilateral we are not here to give you ideas for technology the bible is not for business entrepreneurship agricultural revolution no that is far from the scriptures the scriptures are centered on a person so for our study of galatians we already have a foundation we already have this foundation for our study of galatians now to further show you what this foundation is first corinthians 3 11 for other foundation can normally than that is laid which is jesus christ the foundation is a person is not the shrine in your village the foundation is a person it's not the deity that your village worships which some people have used in the name of deliverance to perpetually keep christians in bondage ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth the foundation is a person for other foundation can normally than that which is already laid we are not trying to lay foundation for you the foundation has been laid and the foundation is a person what is his name jesus christ so if you are in christ where are you you are already on a late foundation so anybody asking to go to the village to break the foundation is insulting your saintly dignity did you hear that anybody asking you to go to the village to break a foundation in the village is insulting what your saintly dignity there's only one foundation jesus christ and it has already been laid it is not going to be lived so when you came into christ you came into an already an already structured led foundation are you in the foundation yes and what kind of foundation short foundation what kind of foundation short foundation the believer in christ is not in the dilemma at all his case was set to before he came into it his life was fixed before he came in it's a blessing to know jesus praise the lord jesus christ is the foundation of all preaching and teaching jesus christ you are not the foundation of our preaching and teaching jesus is the foundation we don't target our messages on you our message is christ when you see christ christ reflects in you revelation 19 13 and he was clothed with a visual dipped in blood and his name is called the word of god his name is called what the word of god that same revelation says that the testimony of jesus is the spirit of prophecy the testimony of jesus is what the spirit of prophecy meaning that jesus is the explanation of all things that you say all prophecy kibatana that came from the prophets all prophecy that came from the prophets originated out of the testimony of jesus the message of jesus is what forms the prophecy of the prophet the message of christ is what forms the prophecy of the prophets whether major prophet or minor prophets further establishing that the bible is jesus's book it's a crystal centric material the bible is a crystal-centric material when you read the bible and you don't see jesus you didn't read go back and read because christ is the explanation of all things look at philippine samaria acts chapter 8 verse 5. then philip went down to the city of samaria and preached what what was his message what was his message he preached christ and after preaching christ while he was yet celebrating miracles that happened because when christ is preached he takes care of everything all things were made by him while miracles were happening the spirit said to philip join the chariot when he joined that chariot he found out that a guy in a chariot was a minister of finance a rich guy and he was written from the book of isaiah where the bible says he was later set down before he showed us and he opened up his mouth and as philip joined the chariot i met the man reading philip asked the man a billion dollar question understand this doubt what dowry does there are many reading the bible and cannot explain what they're reading because they are not reading it christo centrically if there's english like that they are reading to look for solution to problem that's not the essence of the bible the essence of the bible is to under christ so if you're looking for christ you will find him then when you find him you know what to do with problems it's not problems first it's christ first jesus is not afraid of problems so get him first when you get him you form a team but seek you first and what will happen and all his righteousness then what will happen these things are nothing none of these things can measure to the value of christ hey hey nothing can compare there's nowhere to even begin the comparison from glory to god i say glory to god philip asks him on the standards toward doubt he destroyed and the man said how can i except some man should guide me then the bible says i'm beginning from the same scripture philip didn't start from another one that means philip was so so sound in the scriptures that anywhere you are reading from if he defines you he will start from there to explain christ because the whole bible is jesus's book anywhere if a man is reading about the sacrifices in leviticus the total doves the pigeon if that's where you find him you start from the pigeon and the total dove to preach christ because both the total dose and the pigeons were all concerning christ the tabernacle all of them were christ joseph in the old testament was a type of jesus a manifestation in parable that joseph story joseph's story was jesus story in parables who was joseph the beloved of the father who is jesus the beloved of the father what happened to joseph his brothers rejected him what happened to jesus he came onto his own and his own receive him not what happened to joseph he was sold a slave what of jesus the father gave him up what happened to joseph joseph in slavery was interpreting dreams what happened to jesus he was interpreting all our dreams in redemption what happened to joseph joseph interpreting dreams became the prime minister second in command in fact pharaoh said in this throne i am just figurehead it is you that will actually operate the throne what happened to jesus wherefore god has highly exalted him and giving him a name that is above every name that at the name of jesus so so so joseph was a type of jesus but you see if you don't have a crystal centric understanding you will be reading joseph story and feeling sorry but no no it was prophecy in dramatization i don't know if i'm teaching to somebody he says they are there which testify of me i can go on and on the bible is jesus book beginning from that scripture philip explained christ to the man that's true bible study to be able to start from anywhere and preach christ that's true bible study jesus is the light he's the life he's the essence he's the message of the scriptures keeper tanaka first corinthians two verse one we are still trying to study galatians we are still trying to set the wrong way for the take off are you still in the house yes and i brethren when i came to you came not with excellency of speech or wisdom i didn't come with motivation i didn't come with the skills of public speaking this hadn't come with excellency of speech i didn't come with human wisdom declaring unto you the testimony of god i didn't use any natural acquired university skills and degree to unveil christ but watch this he said for i determined not to know anything among you i don't want to know what you studied in the university i don't want to know if you're a graduate of harvard i don't want to know if you graduated from which one again cambridge no no no no no no no i don't want to know the car you drove when you were coming to the service i don't want to know whether you're the governor of a state or you are a federal minister all those things don't matter when jesus shows up all that you think you are in the face of jesus is nothing so i determine to know nothing among yourself jesus christ and him crucified why because that is the message a man that is not revealing christ is wasting your time he's just wasting your time and resources there's no need to sit under any man that can unveil christ to you he's not what you're reading he's not even watch your attention there's no need because it's just making caricature of your time if he cannot reveal christ he means he doesn't know the book and if he doesn't know the book why sit down under a quack a work just like you have quark doctors when a quark doctor walks on you you will you will have to be worked upon if you are lucky if you are not lucky before they will work on you you will kick the bucket you know what kicking the bucket is how do they kick the bucket they cross over just like that why sit under a quack person why that's why a man of god must must be sound in word and doctrine he must if he doesn't don't let him use you for experiment you're not a guinea pig you're precious before god you sit under a man that will open the book and show you jesus because there's a sense of preaching and that's the essence of what teaching every time you come here i and jesus have a covenant with each other we have an agreement that my responsibility is to reveal him to you no matter which subject of scripture we study it will be crystal centric see i hear you beginning at where the universe was preaching what did philip preach to him christ it doesn't matter where he was reading from it doesn't matter where he was reading from it doesn't matter what he was reading from it doesn't matter what i was waiting for the message is a person the message is not politics the message is not governance we teach you christ and you in him we preach not ourselves but christ that's what we preach we don't preach ourselves we preach not ourselves we are not the message here is the message anybody preaching himself is trying to push jesus out of the way and be your jesus and he doesn't have the jews he fit it and he cut it we approach not ourselves did my blood save a fly can i even be able to save a health my head why will i preach me there's nothing to preach about me there's nothing to preach about me there's everything to preach about him here's the message glory to god it's all about jesus hallelujah somebody shout nothing about me all about him so because you are in him when we study the bible you see yourself in him because the scriptures testify of him now are you ready galatians chapter 1 verse 1. now just before i read it keep it there most of the ignorance that we have today in the church world number one is how people understand or misunderstand the proline epistles that's the first problem in the church world how people understand or misunderstand the polite epistles that's the first problem sometimes i get one i get baffled when i hear a preacher preach a whole one hour not one epistle is read a whole one hour not even one of the epistles not even by mistake do you hear an epistle mention and he's preaching to believers i wonder what is it shouldn't we preach from the old testament is two lights the old testament is too light because they are just portions of truth portions of truth scattered here and there the concentrated truth is the epistles say i hear you so it's one of the major ignorance in the body of christ today is either their understanding of the polite epistles or deep misunderstanding of that number two the polite epistles unlock the scriptures to us the scriptures cannot be unlocked outside the polling epistles number three the polite episodes unlocks the mystery of the scriptures it unlocks the mysteries of the scriptures so when you don't understand the poland epistles you will never understand the bible that's why many people are fighting brother paul they fight his teachings but what did jesus say himself on the last public teaching of jesus the last day jesus did a teaching public what did jesus say in john chapter 16 because that was jesus's last public lecture john 16 verse 12 i have yet many things to say unto you but you cannot bear them now that means what i want to say i have not said it because you have the capacity to carry it the next verse how be it when he the spirit of truth is come he will guide you into all the truths all the truth all the truth so the epistles are all the truth concerning jesus revealed oh genesis to malachi portion portion portion of the truth the epistles all the truth teaching good here yeah the epistles gives you the body of truth all the truth gives you the totality of truth because the epistles unveils a passing to us in his full glory it unveils jesus in his full glory the words of jesus in the four gospels cannot give you complete revelation you see i have yet many things that's i didn't say the things i was so you can't find complete revelation in the teachings of jesus in the gospels but in the epistles is where you find it watch this in the gospels you hear jesus saying take up your cross and follow me take up your cross i'm full have you read that in the gospels when you come to the peace to you will never hear him asking you to take up his your cross in the epistles he took the cross on your behalf so that one he was telling you to take was incomplete because the real person that will take the crosses himself when he took the cross he took it on your behalf so you don't have the cross to carry any more because he has carried a cross on your behalf and when you are in him you and him carry it together i'm teaching here i met a pastor in ghana bless his heart great man of god came in from america great man been in ministry for years sat down to listen to me he was also a guest speaker he decided that he must listen to him the phrase i entered here and i opened fire on the revelation of jesus hella burger the thing was coming from every direction sometimes the thing is too much i don't even know whether to use my fingers to dispense it on my legs till just confused it was heavy when we finished she asked for all my nine books that night all my nine books he bought it the whole nine books he bought it and said anybody that can reveal jesus like this must know what he's talking about he bought my nine books he bought it on friday evening by sunday evening when he came to hear me preach my last message he said i have finished reading the whole nine books he said sleep left my eyes from that friday i have not closed my eye i made up my mind i must empty everything you have put in the books you say i have read all the nine books and i'm carrying them to america i will be reading them and teaching it in my church some of you have not read two of it taking things for granted right the man finished all the nine books in three days he said i've read he said he said look dr damida the illiteracy in the body of christ is a lack of understanding the pistols i told him you're correct i told him absolutely correct should fellowship it was a beautiful time when people don't understand the pistols they begin to fight with themselves look at the peter said it brother peter he said it in second peter chapter 3 verse 15 put it up he said an account that the long suffering of our lord is salvation even as our beloved brother paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you brother paul had a wisdom with which he wrote which none of us have peter who was with jesus physically submitted to paul he said our beloved brother paul he spoke things by the wisdom given to him and we respect that wisdom and we bow to that wisdom then look at peter's acknowledgement of paul's teaching as also in all epistles speaking in them of these things in which are some things even peter acknowledged that some things that paul taught are hard to be understood which they that are unlearned and unstable rest as they do also the other scriptures but this is unto their own destruction so they wrestle with these things they wrestle with these things they fight ignorantly galatians 1 1. hey i love brother paul when i get to heaven i will shake him and give him knuckle i'll tell him chuck knuckle brother paul chop knuckle chop knock paul an apostle i like the way he started it don't you like that paul an apostle then he now give you the qualifier not of men meaning nobody ordained me meaning nobody called me and said you are an apostle meaning my apostleship is not a title [Applause] can i talk to somebody here neither by man meaning nobody ordained me nobody gave me the title of an apostle but this is how it came but by jesus christ and god the father or jesus christ which is god the father who raised him from the dead what paul is submitting here number one is that you don't ordain an apostle you can ordain bishops you can ordain deacons you can ordain elders but you don't ordain apostles you don't ordain prophets you don't ordain pastors teachers and evangelists these are offices which jesus has given he that descended receder ascended and when he ascended what did he do he gave gifts and what are the gifts apostle prophet evangelist pastoring teachers he gave them you don't ordain them they are giving but the church can recognize them okay in a concentration service where we say we recognize that you are set apart as a gift to the body of christ but we don't ordain them their ordination is from jesus himself but bishops can be ordained elders can be ordained okay dickens can be ordained but you don't ordain the fightful ministry so paul is beginning to show you something here somebody in the house i said somebody in the house yeah we recognize the fivefold ministry he said oh they're not of men in acts chapter 13 verse 1 we see a service taking place now they were in the church that was at antioch certain prophets and teachers as barnabas and simeon that was called niger and lucious of syrian and manin which had been brought up with herod the tetrarch and saul and as the minister to the lord and fasting the holy ghost said separate me barnabas and soul for the work where until i have called them see i have already ordained them i have already called them your job is just to separate them you are not the ones calling them i have called them you just separate them pray for them and release them to the assignment i have already called them next verse and when they are faster than pray they laid their hands on them and send them away in acts chapter 6 verse 2 to 4 they set apart dickens and they ordained them then the 12th called the multitude of disciples unto them and said it is no reason that we should leave the word of god and serve tables we are for brethren looking out among you several men of honest report full of the holy ghost and wisdom whom we may appoint over this business but we'll give ourselves continually to prayer until the ministry of the world and the same place the whole multitude and they chose stephen a man full of faith and of the holy ghost and philip and procross and nicono and timon and permanence and nicolas a personality of antiope whom they set forth before the apostles and when they had prayed they laid their hands on them that's ordination the kings were ordained pastors apostles prophets teachers are a gift from jesus they are a gift from jesus to the body of christ you can pray for them set them apart paul said to timothy in second timothy 1 6 wherefore i put in remembrance that thou steer up the gift of god which is indeed by the putting on of my hands first timothy 4 14 neglect not the gift that is indeed which was given me by prophecy with the land on the hands of the presbytery you can pray for them and release them to the work because the call didn't come by ordination it came from jesus christ it's not of men no man called these five-fold offices they are office gifts given to the body of christ by jesus as one of the benefits of his resurrection because when he ascended that he gave the gift it's jesus that gave it i'm teaching here i said i'm teaching here so an apostle not of men but by jesus christ verse 2 of galatians 1 and all the brethren which are with me unto the churches of galatia all the brethren you know sometimes people say paul is an apostle sent to the gentiles peter is an apostle sent to the jews let's be careful how we copy statements we have to do a doctrinal search before we own statements you don't just it doesn't matter who said it doesn't make it authentic check if it is in check jesus scriptures to see if that statement is if it agrees with jesus if not don't say it so amen so let's look at the call of paul let's see whether paul was really truly gentle amen acts 9 6 and he trembling on a stone he said lord what will that have me do and the lord said unto him arise i'm going to the city and it shall be told what thou must do verse 15 of acts 9 now this is when paul met ananias but the lord said unto him go thy way for his chosen vessel unto me to bear my name before the gentiles and kings and the children so paul was to bear the name before gentiles before kings before the children so it wasn't sent to the gentiles alone he was sent to everybody kings gentiles the children of israel see that is from the call that is from the call now paul was narrating his vision himself this is ananias narrating it now paul is talking about it himself before the king in acts 26 13 look at the way paul said it to agrippa at midday o king i saw in the way a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun shining around about me and then we join it with me and when we were all falling to the earth i had a voice speaking unto me and saying in the hebrew tongue soul soul why persecutors are me it is hard for thee to kick your legs against the pricks and i said who are the lord and he said i am jesus whom they are persecutors but rise and stand upon thy feet for i have appeared unto thee for this purpose to make the a minister and a witness both of these things which thou has seen and of those things in the which i will appear on today verse 17 delivering thee from the people and from the gentiles unto whom now i send it delivering thee from the people one two from the gentiles in the new testament when you see the word people he means jews so paul himself said when jesus appeared to me he said i am delivering you from the people and from the gentiles unto whom now i send you to the people and i send you to the gentiles are you here okay praise the lord and then verse 18 to open their eyes and to bring them from darkness to light and from the power of satan unto god that they may receive forgiveness of sins and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me so paul wasn't sent exclusively to non-jews all its materials can be read by jews and non-jews how many of you know mark chapter 16 verse 15 the commission is not to jews or gentiles go into all the world matthew 28 go into all the world make disciples of all nations in fact if you read acts 13 every city paul went to first of all he went to the jews after preaching to the jews he now went to the gentiles every city he went to every city went because that was his call to bring the message of jesus christ to all of humanity not just as selected so there's no special message for jews and there's no special message for gentiles the message is one jesus christ hallelujah i didn't hear you here man i said the message is how many the message is one when paul enters a city he will go to the gentiles he will go to the jews fest then he will go to the gentiles most of the places where paul went the reason is because the message is won the actor is one the mission is one to reveal christ the entire bible is tied in one message christ every prophet's book became part of the bible because when it was started it was in line in agreement with all the other rights that's what when jesus will teach you will be said moses said about me david said about me he was confirming that all of them we are prophets pointing to him like i always say jesus is not god's messenger jesus is the message and when you get the message of the christ you understand salvation when you understand salvation you understand who you are when you understand who you are in him you can say i am complete in him who is the head the pluma the corporate headquarters of the godhead bodily who is completing christ here can you stand on your feet and shout i am complete in him can i hear you shouting very loud shout it like you know what you're talking about say in him there is no sickness in him there is no poverty in him there is no disease in him there is no failure i am complete in him therefore no disease no poverty no failure is permitted in my territory i thought you would shout a good amen now say i resist satan his cohort and every setup of the kingdom of darkness i resist you it is written when i resist you will flee right now i resist poverty i resist sickness i resist frustration i resist stagnation and i declare that always jesus causes me to triumph i didn't hear a powerful amen say the remaining days of my life i will live a triumphant life in christ i have no luck i have no need in christ i am complete in christ i have all of his perfection in christ i am blessed beyond measure in christ i am favored favored by god i cannot be denied by men i am accepted in the beloved therefore therefore wherever i am found the virgins love me i didn't hear your amen and i prophesied to the first 500 of you whose amen will come like thunder swim in favor swim in favor swim in favor swim in favor by the favor of god i decree your mountain is standing strong every need is met according to his riches
