What does the Prince of This World being Judged Mean? - Weekly Q&A Roundup - June 8, 2021

all right good afternoon my name is barry bennett i'm an instructor here at karis bible college and i'm here to answer a few of the questions that remain from last week's live bible study let me remind you that tonight at 6 pm mountain time andrew womack will be here with carrie pickett and special guest billy eberhardt and they will have a live bible study for you tonight at 6 mountain time that forum has live questions possible so whatever however you're watching the broadcast whether youtube or facebook or on the awm website you can type in your questions and they will try to get to them live on the show what i'm doing is trying to pick up a few questions from last week that they didn't get to uh so this was a bible study by andrew last week and so we're going to look at a few questions here for a few minutes first question is char on chat jesus speaks through his word today is the word our guide to hearing jesus correctly yes absolutely we aren't going to have a clear understanding of what god is trying to show us speak to us or lead us into if we're unfamiliar with the word of god if we're unfamiliar with the ministry of jesus with the heart of god now we can have a lot of intellectual understanding of the scriptures a lot of intellectual um ideas and answers to questions and things of that nature there are a lot of people that read the bible but they don't read it through the filter of life they only read it through the filter of the knowledge of good and evil and that's a that's a big subject but when we're all we're looking for is bible trivia or all we're looking for is answers to questions that aren't that important if we're looking for what is sin is this a sin is that a sin we're reading through the wrong filter that's the filter of knowledge of good and evil we need to read through the filter of life life in christ jesus when i read the bible now and i've been out this for over 48 years and now when i read i have really simplified things i'm looking for the revelation of the nature of god i'm looking for the revelation of abundant life of jesus living in me what it means to be complete in christ i'm looking for the promises of god for me every promise that god made to anyone at any time in some way is a is a revelation of what he intended for us from the beginning and so i'm looking for promises to know what would have been my reality had there been no sin in the earth i'm looking i read the scriptures looking for life and so the question again is is the word our guide to hearing jesus correctly it can be if you're reading it correctly if you have the right perception of god if you understand the true nature of god the goodness of god the love of god and the desire of god to bless you then yes as you read the word you will hear him more accurately through that filter of life amen okay next question ruthie on chat ruth he says since the holy spirit is the comforter why will we weep sorrow and lament as mentioned in john 16 20. is it referring to being sorry that the world is rejecting jesus okay so let's go to john 16. i want to read john 16 19 and 20 with you and the answer is a lot more easy to understand john 16 19 says now jesus knew that they desired to ask him and he said to them are you inquiring among yourselves about what i said a little while and you will not see me and again a little while you will see me so he's talking about going to the cross he's talking about his death burial and resurrection which they are not in tune with just yet and so then he goes on to say most assuredly i say to you that you will weep and lament but the world will rejoice you will be sorrowful but your sorrow will be turned into joy he's talking about the immediate consequences of his of his arrest his trial his death his burial they were going to weep and lament the disciples but it was going to be a cause for rejoicing for the whole world and the disciples themselves would come into a place of rejoicing when they began to see jesus over the next 40 days after his resurrection and so it's the context is more immediate uh than the way the question was worded amen all right uh next question shane on youtube shane on youtube says what does the prince of this world being judged mean that's a great question and jesus refers to it as he's preparing to go through the last passion and be arrested and what have you and he says the prince of this world has been judged and he's looking toward what the impact of the cross and the impact of the resurrection and the impact of him sitting down at the right hand of god is going to have for humanity the prince of this world is judged well where did this where does this come from satan was not on the earth legally we can say man adam and eve were legal representatives of the human race before god and yet when they chose sin they chose to be independent from god they chose to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil satan became the we can say illegal representative of man on the earth and before god and lived to accuse mankind day and night there was no way to undo that except a man undo it and there was no man so god became that man redemption is a legal thing and when god became flesh when when jesus came onto this earth and lived a sinless life and defeated satan in the wilderness it is written it is written it is written defeated sin and then eventually defeated death and he rose from the grave and he and he went into the the holy tabernacle made without hands and gave his own blood it says in hebrews and then sat down at the right hand of god i want to read to you what happened when he sat down at the right hand of god and we can go to revelation chapter 12 verses 7 through 11 revelation 12 7-11 and it says and war broke out in heaven michael and his angels fought with the dragon and the dragon and his angels fought now this is my opinion and you don't have to agree with me but i believe this is past this took place when jesus ascended into heaven there was a war because now there's a legal representative of mankind the son of man has defeated sin has defeated satan has defeated death and has risen and ascended into the holy place to sit down at the right hand of god and so that is creating a war with satan who was our illegal representative who was our accuser all right and the dragon and his angels fought verse 8 but they did not prevail nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer why was there no more place found because someone had overpowered the the power of sin and the enemy and had taken that place and sat down on our behalf the son of man had defeated sin defeated satan defeated death and sat down at the right hand of god so the great dragon was cast out verse 9. and the serpent of old called the devil and satan who deceives the whole world he was cast to the earth and his angels were cast out with him so this is this is my opinion revelation is not all future the book of revelation there are some things that are past some that are present some that are future and so he was cast out so in my understanding satan no longer is before the throne accusing us day and night jesus is on the throne interceding for us day and night ever living to make intercession for us so the devil and his demons our angels were cast out with him verse 10 then i heard a loud voice saying in heaven now salvation and strength and the kingdom of our god and the power of his christ have come when did that happen when did salvation come when did the power come it says now salvation and strength and the kingdom of our god when did these things come to man on the day of pentecost if we want to pick a specific time and place on the day of pentecost when the spirit was poured out jesus had sat down had given his own blood in redemption for us and sat down and now salvation has come to mankind and the power of the holy spirit and the kingdom of god which now lives within us those things began on the day of pentecost praise god and it says for the accuser of our brethren who accuse them before our god day and night has been cast down and they overcame him by the blood of the lamb it says in first john that we can how does it put it even satan himself if he comes to us we resist him submit yourself to god resist the devil and he will flee folks we have that kind of authority now we have we we are seated with christ in heavenly places we are one spirit with him we are complete in him and so when it says the prince of this world has been judged jesus was predicting or prophesying about the next few days of what was going to be taking place after he is dead three days and nights in the earth and then rises from the dead and sits down at the right hand of god and pours forth the kingdom on the day of pentecost we became more than conquerors we became those who have authority over satan and his works praise god so this there's a lot there i teach more on this in in keras in the bible college it requires more time but it's a fascinating subject and it shows us who we are meant to be in christ and the power that we have in christ the power of his name the power of his spirit the power of his blood the power of his new covenant the power of his promises the power of wearing his armor the armor of god the keys of the kingdom we have been equipped to win you're not a victim anymore you shouldn't think like a victim you shouldn't talk like a victim you are an overcomer and that's the promise that we have now because jesus sat down at the right hand of god amen okay uh next question samaya i think samaya on youtube how do i know when it's the holy spirit and when it's my conscience so based on the bible study from last week talking about the the work of the holy spirit in our lives and the conscience as well and so my understanding i think this is andrew's understanding as well is that the conscience came alive if you will when adam and eve took of the knowledge of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and that's where the conscience came into into play when we hear god what happens when we hear god romans 10 17 says something comes when we hear god romans 10 17 says faith comes faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of god so how do you know when you've heard god faith comes alive within you faith is activated within you you know that you know that you know when you hear god something has it's different from just mental assent it's different from mental belief faith is not mental faith is spiritual and so when we hear god his words are spirit and they are life and that activates the faith of god within us and we move on into that which we know it's the evidence of things not seen we are certain of something because god has quickened it to our hearts when it's your conscience your conscience and we can get this from scripture if you want to turn with me to romans 2 romans 2 14 and 15 says and this this will just give us a picture i don't have time to to put all of this into context but it'll give us a picture of what the conscience does it says for when the gentiles who do not have the law by nature do things that are in the law these although not having the law are a law to themselves who show the work of the law written in their hearts that's a huge subject but everyone has the law of god in their heart they know right from wrong that's what happened when they ate of that tree of the knowledge of good and evil okay it says who show the work of the law written in their hearts their conscience here we go also bearing witness and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them your conscience isn't going to give birth to faith your conscience will either comfort you or accuse you that's that's the role of the conscience in other words your conscience is telling you you're doing right or you're doing wrong when god speaks to you faith is born or faith is activated is probably a better word faith is activated and comes alive and you have an assurance you have a an absolute certainty of what god has spoken to you that it will come to pass as he has spoken your conscience is more of an arbitrator between actions that you are doing currently and it's either going to accuse you or it's going to excuse you or comfort you in that which you are doing so again another huge topic but i hope that helps a little bit okay let's go on we'll look at uh delton on facebook delton on facebook this is rather lengthy so i'll try to make it understandable here how do you handle hearing about a person being in pain at your job but being in a in compliance with your work policy so someone is at work they hear about a co-worker who's in pain but company policy is that you can't minister or do that kind of extracurricular activity we'll say on the job he says i don't want to miss a moment to pray for someone but i also don't want to be out of order so there's this this conflict i want to minister to this person who's hurting but i want to stay in compliance with my job however i don't want to make it seem like the job is my source so now we're kind of the question is evolving here but god is i want the healing power of jesus to flow through me to others but i want to operate in wisdom all right great question on the work in the workplace how do we minister to people well if there is a strict policy against ministry we'll say or against praying for one another or stopping what you're doing to take time with another person if there's policy against that then you need to to submit to that policy i would say in most cases you can pray for someone have some kind of contact with them during the day in which you say can i pray for you after work or can i pray for you in the morning before work or can i come by your house or can i call you on the phone and pray for you over the phone there are other ways to minister to people uh in which you will not be breaking company policy now you say god is your source and your job is not your source and i understand what you're saying there but god may have given you that job as the channel through which he is providing for you and you want to honor your employer and you want to honor uh the policies that they have in place and you i i can say i you can do that uh until they the policies come to the place of you having to violate uh principles of god in your life i don't think we're at that place right now he just wants workers to be working and not to be doing other things i think that's reasonable and that is a job god has provided for you to provide for you all right so you can still minister to people but you do it before work you do it after work or you do it over the phone or on the weekend there are other ways to to help people that are hurting amen okay we'll do one more here um galapat that's a good name gallipod on chat i have asked for the baptism of the holy spirit but have not had any success what is most likely the problem i've already been saved for decades now okay i've shared my experience with the holy spirit many times on this very place over the past few years uh you've i the verse that that got me set free was luke 11 13. luke 11 13 let me read it for you quickly if you then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children how much more will your heavenly father give the holy spirit to those that ask him that verse got me set free from all of this theological confusion about the holy spirit i in fact i i had a of course i have an ipad now but i had my normal bible this is 47 years ago and i read that verse and i held it up to god and i said see this it says right here that if i ask you for the holy spirit you will give it to me and so i'm asking and i prayed and i asked the father father i want to receive the baptism in the holy spirit or endowment with power from on high however you want to say it i want to receive that and according to your word it says you will give the holy spirit to those that ask and i'm asking so i'm receiving and i i entered into this without any faith teaching at all i was a baby christian i didn't have faith teaching but i just thought just thought well this means what it says and so i said thank you father for filling me for baptizing me for giving me your power the power of the holy spirit i thank you and nothing happened but i was convinced that the word had to be true i was fully persuaded and so i began to to thank him and to praise him and to thank him and to praise him i just went into probably an hour of thankfulness and praise then i went to bed i got up the next day i went to work i thanked god all throughout the day during my job i think i was working in a supermarket and i just spent the day thanking god as i went about my duties praising him i went home that evening continued to praise him as i prepared dinner and did different things and then i went into a time of prayer in my bedroom again before bed and as i'm praising god and thanking him for the holy spirit tongues came out i began to pray in the spirit i was in english and this is what i like to tell people is that if you're fluent in praise in english or whatever your native tongue may be then it's not hard at all to slide over into being fluent in praise in a heavenly language uh you need to be fluent in your native language first in in giving thanks your heart needs to be filled with praise and thanksgiving unto god uh if you've asked god and you believe you've received then you have the holy spirit you just perhaps are expecting something different but begin to praise god begin to give him thanks for it and then slide over and just let the spirit come out of you it's you speaking it's you praying you can make it loud you can make it soft you can start you can stop it's it's you but it's the spirit of god within you that you're giving place to just like you're turning a faucet you can turn cold water you can turn hot water you can turn it on hard you can turn it on soft you're doing the turning of the knobs but it's coming from the spirit of god amen so that's all we have for today i want to remind you again tonight 6 pm mountain time andrew will be here with carrie pickett and with billy eberhardt i know you'll have a good bible study and you can also ask questions live at that time god bless you have a great day
