0:01

when Jesus underwater Emmaus at the end

0:04

of The Journey the Seven Mile Journey he

0:06

went into the house of the two and he

0:08

took bread amen the guest became the

0:10

host

0:11

and we took the bread the Bible says he

0:13

broke the bread their eyes were open

0:17

their mind was

0:20

beginning to comprehend

0:22

the understanding return there's not a

0:24

verse where

0:25

he appear in the upper room then open

0:27

heed their understanding

0:29

so the Lord's Supper is to open your

0:31

understanding to the wisdom of God

0:34

amen many are times if you are oppressed

0:37

you are depressed you can hardly even

0:40

hear a sermon like this yeah

0:42

listen yeah yeah it's not going to

0:45

happen now now now now Faith is now now

0:48

be in the now

0:50

people cannot be in the now because you

0:53

know what fear and what we got to do

0:54

with nothing but nothing to do with it

0:56

now fear is something to do with the

0:58

future

0:59

all right worry is the future

1:02

guilt condemnation regret the past

1:07

so if you are in regret you're worried

1:09

you are not living now you can be in a

1:11

very beautiful place you're in Hawaii

1:16

[Music]

1:23

and they are dancing in front of you

1:25

calling it so many times and you are

1:28

like

1:30

you are

1:33

you are worried you're living in the

1:35

future not living in Hawaii

1:38

I'm just giving an example that you know

1:40

people don't live in the now the Bible

1:43

says now Faith is both now between faith

1:48

is now and is both are present tense

1:51

live in the now and you live in the

1:53

realm of Faith the Bible says the time

1:56

of Salvation is now it's never in the

1:58

future

1:59

amen the time of Salvation the word

2:01

salvation is so Terry is also for

2:03

healing wholeness Deliverance is now if

2:05

you live in the now the Bible says God

2:07

is a very present help

2:11

he is a very present help

2:15

very present help in our time of need

2:20

amen

2:22

so our minds are the ones being attacked

2:25

we are attacked like you know it's crazy

2:27

yeah people cannot focus because today

2:30

especially the the phone and um our

2:33

social media and the kind of culture

2:36

that we live in is full of distractions

2:39

we are so afraid of missing out that we

2:42

want to have every information that we

2:45

can have but that knowledge isn't does

2:48

it remind you of the tree of knowledge

2:50

of Good and Evil

2:52

the tree that God didn't want man to eat

2:54

from it's not just the tree of evil it's

2:56

the tree of knowledge of good

3:00

of good even and Evil

3:03

amen God wants men to leave from the

3:05

Tree of Life

3:07

amen so knowing that knowledge what has

3:10

it done for you for your marriage what

3:12

has it done for your health what has it

3:14

done for your peace of mind what has it

3:15

done for you financially what has it

3:17

done for you especially in your walk

3:19

with God Amen enjoying the the the

3:21

kingdom life amen that God wants you to

3:24

enjoy the Abundant Life that Jesus came

3:26

to give you what has it done for you

3:28

you spend so much time you should spend

3:31

time white but the Isaiah says it like

3:33

this and it's so relevant for our times

3:35

he says why do you spend time for what

3:37

is not bread

3:39

and for that which does not satisfy why

3:42

do we spend so much time

3:44

amen we should I'm not saying you don't

3:46

throw your phone or whatever I didn't

3:47

say that I'm saying control it don't let

3:49

it control you

3:53

it's almost like there's an invisible

3:55

chain and sometimes

3:59

and best of all in church today no one

4:01

knows you are reading the Bible on your

4:03

phone or you are actually surfing on the

4:05

phone

4:11

all right

4:13

I know there are pastors who are not

4:15

happy when people fall asleep in their

4:16

sermon but this one Pastor if I see

4:18

people falling asleep I don't mind

4:20

sometimes I believe

4:22

the the ministry of healing that God has

4:24

given me that helped them to sleep for

4:26

the first time

4:28

so Pastor I can sleep help yourself

4:30

help yourself no problem

4:33

amen

4:35

I don't get angry at people who fall

4:37

asleep but I don't I don't at least they

4:38

are sleeping in church

4:40

they are sleeping in the environment

4:41

where God is and I know the apostles get

4:43

angry people come here and they fall

4:44

asleep I've been under those churches

4:46

before and they get angry I feel like

4:48

telling them at least they're sleeping

4:49

in church they're sleeping in the

4:51

anointing of the Holy Spirit they might

4:52

wake up afterwards and say what was that

4:54

all about they missed it but at least

4:55

they're in church

4:58

5:30

5:31

Holy Spirit and gave her life in front

8:20

the snake they wait upon the Lord shall

8:22

renew their strength they shall Mount up

8:24

with wings as eagles they shall run and

8:26

not be weary but before this verse it

8:28

says even the youths shall feign

8:33

and those who don't wait upon the Lord

8:34

they shall feign even the youth shall

8:37

feign and the young men shall utterly

8:38

fall

but they they wait upon the Lord shall

8:42

renew their strength regardless of age

don't belong to the ninth season but we

11:22

go through the night season one day

11:23

there'll be no more night the Bible

11:25

tells us but we are children of the day

11:26

we are children of the light let us put

11:29

on the breastplate putting on the

11:30

breastplate of faith and love so the

11:33

breastplate protects you your heart your

11:35

heart is where the accusation comes in

11:37

the devil accuses you on your heart your

11:40

conscience is always this realm faith

11:42

and love will protect your heart and

11:44

that's why regardless of what you hear a

11:46

sermon whatever it is if you live with

11:48

fear if you live with with with an

11:51

attitude of Holier then thou better

11:53

towards other Christians and all that

11:54

you have not heard the word of God

11:57

because the word of God will always

11:59

cause the breastplate of faith and love

12:01

to be on your heart on your conscience

12:03

can I be good amen and then it says and

12:06

as a helmet the hope of Salvation the

12:09

hope of sort area salvation is a

12:13

all-encompassing word all-inclusive word

12:16

includes not just salvation from Eternal

12:19

destruction salvation from hell but

12:22

Salvation from sickness look it up the

12:25

word salvation is a noun feminine noun

12:28

but the word oteria is a family noun but

12:30

it comes from the verbs so so where

12:33

Jesus told the woman just now we talk

12:34

about the woman came behind her receive

12:36

healing Jesus says your faith has Sozo

12:39

you

12:40

is also healing because Sozo is in it

12:44

it's a verb form of soteria Amen healing

12:48

is rescue

12:50

rescue from danger Deliverance

12:53

protection wow so when when the angel

12:57

was sent and said and you shall call his

13:00

name Jesus in the Greek you'll be you'll

13:03

call his name soteria salvation his name

13:06

it is all inclusive name and he

13:09

demonstrated his name everywhere he went

13:11

he set people free the religion uh the

13:14

guy who was possessed with the with so

13:16

many demons he set him free

13:18

so much so the man wants to be with

13:20

Jesus amen he healed everywhere he went

13:23

he healed all those who were oppressed

13:25

of the devil God was with him

13:28

can I have a good amen

13:29

I I feel like the holy spirit is telling

13:31

me to tell many of you watching this

13:34

you are having battle battle your

13:36

thoughts you know why you know why those

13:38

thoughts linger because you own it

13:40

you say it's you

13:42

so as long you own it

13:44

amen it becomes yours and it stays

13:47

because it's yours but nobody said no

13:48

this is not not my thoughts these are

13:50

not my thoughts many of you have have

13:52

thoughts like like you look down a very

13:54

high building and all that and the part

13:55

comes jump amen don't say how can I

13:58

think that way how can I don't accept it

14:00

it's not you

14:01

but the problem happens when young

14:03

people start accepting that and I think

14:05

that's the reason why many uh uh uh not

14:07

very susceptible to those thoughts

14:10

and they don't have this hope of

14:11

Salvation hope of Salvation means like

14:13

positive confident happy expectation of

14:15

good in your future as a result that you

14:18

know you are safe Jesus took your sins

14:20

at the cross there's no sin that will

14:22

penalize you or produce a bad fruit in

14:24

your future it's all been paid by Jesus

14:26

it's a hope of Salvation you have

14:28

salvation you have Jesus you have

14:31

forgiveness of sins you have deliverance

14:33

from the curse of the law you have a

14:35

good future amen only the blessings of

14:38

God are in store for you in the future

14:42

so hope is a helmet it's a helmet on

14:46

your head Amen to protect you from

14:48

you're gonna have a hope because of

14:50

Salvation you are safe that's the world

14:52

the world cannot raise their hopes and

14:53

rightly so they cannot they have no

14:55

Foundation

14:57

for their hope

14:58

they just hope for the best and that's

15:00

the language they use that is not your

15:02

language child of God you have a solid

15:04

rock solid foundation to believe the

15:07

best good in your future

15:12

amen Jesus Paid for you is a rock solid

15:16

foundation

15:17

why can you believe that you can be free

15:19

from the addiction Jesus shed his blood

15:21

for it amen why can you believe that you

15:24

can be well from the symptom even when

15:27

there's a chronic symptom for years

15:28

because Jesus paid for it and you're

15:30

partaking the Lord's up but you're

15:32

getting better and better and better and

15:33

better yeah

15:35

eat your bread with joy

15:37

and drink your wine happily cheerfully

15:40

let your head like no ointment child of

15:42

God

15:43

amen

15:45

amen you're listening so put on the

15:47

breastplate you know as a young person I

15:48

was sharing with you that I read a book

15:50

that says you can lose your salvation

15:52

and for some reason I believe this

15:53

author I believe you can lose the

15:55

Salvation the moment I did that bang all

15:57

those Blasphemous thoughts came I can

16:00

point to the very time when I started

16:02

believing what I read I don't fault the

16:04

the author okay I I I believe it okay

16:08

and I believe you can lose your

16:09

salvation which I know now you cannot

16:11

amen it's for eternal security praise

16:14

God and and but I believe that and the

16:16

moment I believe that that's when all

16:18

those Blasphemous thoughts came you know

16:20

why there's no more helmet there's no

16:22

hope of salvation

16:25

even though I was safe I have salvation

16:27

there's no hope

16:29

because I believe I was lost

16:31

the moment the first thought came

16:33

against the Holy Spirit Blasphemous

16:34

thoughts bang I said I committed the

16:36

unpardonable sin which is not

16:41

I nearly lost my mind

16:46

both Pastor Monk and I

16:53

the breast the helmet the breastplate

16:55

are so vital

16:57

if you got your heart from an evil

16:59

conscience or an accusation say I'm the

17:01

righteousness of God in Christ

17:03

amen and the helmet because my devil

17:06

says no you will die you know why you'll

17:08

die because your parents died your

17:10

father died of this disease your father

17:11

has this disease so your father has it

17:15

all right you will have it that's how

17:17

science goes natural things now the

17:19

chickens stop talking

17:21

right but you're an eagle eaglet

17:24

and you're sprouting wings now

17:27

amen you belong to the heavenlies not

17:30

not dust bound

17:34

not dirt bound

17:36

you belong to the heavenliest child of

17:38

God

17:39

listen soon

17:41

albeit sincere and all that in your mind

17:43

rejected in Jesus name

17:45

don't accept natural verdict of men lest

17:49

their verdict becomes a sentence

17:52

okay you believe that word more than

17:55

your father's word she said yes I'm like

17:57

my father tell a person

17:59

and I'll end up like my father

18:01

the question is which heavenly father or

18:03

the Earthly father

18:05

[Music]

18:06

amen because when I got born again I

18:09

received a brand new DNA

18:13

amen

18:14

amen that's what all things are passed

18:17

away

18:18

all things have become new

18:20

amen that is the statement about Church

18:22

New Creation Church therefore If any man

18:24

be in Christ he's a new creation all

18:27

things are passed away all things have

18:28

become new

18:34

number two

18:36

and bringing this to a close Ray

18:39

hope is an anchor for your soul

18:42

is an anchor for your soul in those days

18:45

when Paul wrote this and I believe Paul

18:47

is the author of Hebrews and by the Holy

18:49

Spirit the the picture then was that

18:51

they travel by ship they travel by boats

18:54

okay vessels in those days they don't

18:57

they don't fly in those days but there

18:59

is a promise that God says I will cost

19:01

you to ride the high places of the earth

19:03

I think it's ripping to our times

19:05

amen but during that time they go by

19:07

boats they go by vessels amen so if they

19:10

they stop somewhere in the middle of the

19:13

sea or somewhere near a port or whatever

19:15

they can't go in yet or whatever what

19:17

they need to do I'm not in the middle of

19:19

a seat usually but where there is even

19:21

though it's very deep but there's ground

19:23

they will lower the anchor

19:26

lower the anchor now once the ankle

19:29

takes whole the heavy anchor

19:32

it drops bottom

19:33

once it takes whole listen carefully the

19:36

heavy anchor will stabilize the boat

19:39

get the picture

19:40

let's read the verse first it says that

19:42

by two things which cannot is impossible

19:44

for God to lie we might have strong

19:46

consolation who are fled for Refuge to

19:50

lay hold of the Hope set before us

19:51

Church

19:54

this language to the Hebrews they

19:56

understand

19:57

the City of Refuge Paul is using their

19:59

analogy from the Old Testament amen from

20:02

their law where someone who commit men

20:05

Slaughter he kills someone or albeit is

20:07

not intentional he can flee to a place

20:10

called a City of Refuge

20:13

amen are you listening

20:15

and and there are Cities of Refuge all

20:17

over Israel but he must run in before

20:19

the Avenger of blood that person's

20:21

brother or cousin or whatever who want

20:23

to avenge his dead brother he's going to

20:25

find you if he finds you before you

20:27

reach a city he can kill you

20:29

he can kill you legitimately amen is a

20:32

picture of Sinners and there's the

20:35

Avenger of blood

20:37

amen and it's after you because he has a

20:40

right to destroy you because you have

20:41

sin and the wages of sin is death so

20:44

it's coming after you but Jesus came as

20:45

the City of Refuge

20:47

amen and when you enter the City of

20:48

Refuge listen carefully your identity is

20:51

no more dead of a sinner because the

20:53

City of Refuge is in inhabited by

20:55

priests and the priests they eat the

20:58

best

20:59

they drink the best they have to be the

21:01

best state because they are they come

21:03

close to God to offer the offerings of

21:04

the people and and and the priests are

21:07

never neglected the priest I'm saying

21:09

never neglected in a generic way in the

21:11

Bible Old Testament there was a time

21:12

even that himaya knew it they were

21:13

neglected and all that I'm speaking the

21:15

gods God's plan for them has never been

21:16

neglected so the Cities of Refuge is the

21:18

place where there's abundance so the

21:20

sinner lives as if he is one of the

21:23

chosen ones

21:26

to come close to God priests are close

21:28

to God

21:30

so it's a picture of of us going to

21:32

Jesus as our refuge you understand that

21:34

so far so we are fled for Refuge to lay

21:37

hold of the Hope remember it's

21:39

impossible for God to lie there are some

21:42

things that's impossible for God to do

21:45

one is impossible for God to lie

21:48

impossible

21:49

impossible

21:51

impossible so that we can have a strong

21:54

consolation those of us who are fled for

21:56

Refuge to lay hold of the Hope set

21:58

before us lay hold of this positive

22:00

confident expectation of good church

22:02

don't just listen to a sermon tell

22:04

yourself I lay hold on it

22:06

in your specific circumstances whatever

22:08

you're faced with right now you just the

22:10

doctors give you a bad report and all

22:11

that shift away from there instead of

22:13

looking at a dark future I told my

22:15

friend uh Samuel smudger I told my

22:17

friend who was suffering from that

22:19

bladder cancer very uh rare form of

22:22

bladder cancer where the doctor says

22:24

even with

22:25

22:27

treatment there's only 20 of survival

22:30

terms

22:31

and he told me he started taking

22:33

communion many times many times he said

22:36

in fact the other day on the phone he

22:38

said that I've never taken communion

22:39

more times than doing this month that

22:42

was diagnosed even with treatment only

22:43

20 of recovery

22:45

when when I was in Israel with the

22:47

pastors uh this past March and I looked

22:51

at him and I talked to him I've never

22:52

seen my good friend so downcast so

22:54

depressed

22:55

you know and when when we prayed for him

22:58

I had this in my spirit

23:01

this verse from Isaiah 54 because of

23:03

Isaiah 53 what Jesus did at the cross

23:05

Isaiah 54 says spanot come on lengthen

23:08

23:10

23:13

23:15

23:17

23:19

great blessing to have many children

23:20

amen lengthen your Gods prepare for

23:22

Success prepare for healing prepare for

23:25

23:27

23:47

23:50
