the cross think of the Cross as something that divest you remove things from you think of the Resurrection as
0:07
something that invests into you God raised up Jesus our lord from
0:13
the dead who was delivered up because of our offenses and was raised because of our
0:19
justification let's look at the first line who was delivered up because of our offenses so I call this the circle of
0:26
there are two circles one is circle of darkness and then a c C of light the circle of Darkness who is in the center
0:33
of the circle of Darkness not you and I even though the world became a dark place after Adam sin people say well if
0:40
God is so Almighty why didn't God stop this why didn't God stop that because it's the Fallen World bro it's not a perfect world you don't
0:47
see a perfect world go to heaven you'll see a perfect world there are no hospitals there amen there are no police
0:53
there but this is the Fallen world we live in but hey you can come into the kingdom of God where he reigns am amen
1:02
you can come into the kingdom of God where it's bright it's full of Splendor now watch this the first circle of
1:07
darkness is Christ was delivered up because of our offenses now who became
1:12
liable for our offenses Christ the reason he died on the cross he became
1:17
the center of the circle of Darkness he became the center because he took upon himself the
1:25
liability for all of us to Divine judgment so he became the center not you
1:31
and I he became the center of that Circle of Darkness because God loved us but he wasn't there for
1:39
himself Apostle Prince maybe he did it for his own benefit he has no personal benefit except he gets
1:46
you Amen in his family because he has no sins to die
1:52
for I said he has no sins to die for when he went to the Cross he went to the
1:57
cross for you and I to pay for our sins he has no sins of his own die for
2:05
Peter said Peter is a man of action Peter says he did no sin John a man of love says in him a man
2:14
of the heart in him is no sin John wrote Paul a man of intelligence wrote
2:20
he knew no sin he's perfectly sinless so why the cross why is he the
2:26
center of the circle of Darkness at the cross because he made himself liable for all
2:35
the Divine Judgment of God for you and I and thank God he did so amen amen you
2:43
and I are not in the center he is so the Bible says he was delivered up because of our offenses so how many can say amen
2:50
he was delivered up because of our offenses because of our sins against God our offenses against God he was
2:56
delivered up in other words the reason Jesus went to the cross the the Reon reason why he was delivered up or the
3:01
father delivered him up is because God loves us amen and because we have sinned
3:08
we agree on that now by the same token we come to another light the
3:14
circle another Circle rather circle of light it's a beautiful Circle and there
3:19
we find him in the center the resurrection he was raised because of our
3:26
justification now there are those who teach that he
3:32
was raised so that we can become
3:37
righteous that's not what the verse is saying the the verse does not say he was raised so that
3:47
in the future we can become righteous but the verse is saying when your sins
3:53
was born by him at the cross and he did a clean sweep of it by burying it in his
4:00
own body on the tree he bore it in his soul and he died to the imputation and
4:09
the guilt and all the consequences of sin he died to it
4:14
all when he died listen you were justified in him God
4:21
declared you not guilty God acquitted you God pronounced you righteous now the
4:30
moment God pronounced you righteous God raised Jesus from the
4:35
dead because you are declared righteous in other words Jesus cannot
4:40
rise from the dead let me illustrate for example let's say all right we live in the times of the Bible and someone I I
4:48
have sinned and someone loves me very much I have committed a a big a huge crime and someone loves me so much he
4:54
takes the the the punishment of the crime for me so he goes into prison on
5:00
my behalf representing me now how will I know I'll be justified when will I be
5:05
justified when he comes out I'm making things as simple as possible okay are youall with me so
5:11
far God is moving in a mighty way and if you get this you walk in resurrection
5:17
power so how will I know that I'm cleared from all guilt before the eyes
5:23
of the Lord How will I know I've been aced when the one who Ser who serving my sentence comes out
5:30
because he didn't go he didn't go in for himself he went in for for me so when he comes out I know I'm declared what
5:38
righteous I'm acquited can I have a good amen so here I I like the uh Young's uh
5:45
translation all right young say like this who was delivered up because of our offenses and was raised up because of
5:52
our being declared righteous the moment God declares us righteous he raised his son from the
5:59
dead Hey listen the implication is that if we were not declared righteous Jesus would not have been raised from the
6:06
dead wow I'll say it again the implication is that if we are
6:13
not declared righteous if that's not settled before God Christ would not have
6:18
been raised so today when we think of Jesus being raised from the dead is not just
6:24
the conquered death wonderful as that is the main truth is that it's a declaration that you are
6:30
acquitted because the same body Jesus body that bore all our sins all our
6:36
curse and our judgment and our guilt now rose from the dead cleared of them all
6:42
so we should have this attitude the Bible actually says in Romans 6 likewise in the same way he died to your sin once
6:49
and for all and Rose uh before God likewise in the same manner reckon
6:55
Yourself Dead indeed unto sin cleared from the imputation of sin no chge of
7:00
sin can be brought against you have that kind of Life have that kind of attitude
7:07
reckon act like it that you are someone that cannot be charged with
7:14
sin say Pastor Prince Be Careful by saying that I don't have to be careful it's Bible the Bible says declaring his
7:23
righteousness in fact the Bible says we are declared righteous and because we are declared righteous Christ was raised
7:29
give them 1 Corinthians 15:1 17 1 Corinthians 15:17 if Christ is not
7:36
risen your faith is futle you are still in your sins so in other
7:43
words if Christ is not risen guess what your faith is vain you are still in your
7:49
sins but the fact that Christ is risen Hallelujah and we celebrate this
7:56
Resurrection on this Resurrection morning is the fact that you you appear
8:01
before God as righteous Jesus was not raised from the
8:09
dead because he is God's son that he always is but that's not the reason the Bible reason why God raised him from the
8:15
dead God raised him from the dead when you were declared
8:21
righteous the resurrection is the proof that he cleared us of all our
8:27
sins he cleared us not just from sins he cleared us from the factory that
8:33
manufactured sin which is our nature we were crucified with him now he
8:40
rose in him in a new nature can have a good amen and
8:46
everything that attached to us in terms of the Fallen nature that includes sickness and death also have been left
8:54
behind amen so God did not raise Jesus because he's my boy he's my son that he always
9:03
is because he's my beloved that he always is but God raised his son because
9:08
you and I are declared righteous oh can you get that so the
9:14
resurrection is not the payment the resurrection I always like to say like this is the Divine
9:22
receip the resurrection of Jesus is the Divine receipt that all your sins are
9:28
cleared at the cross all the guilt is finished at the
9:33
cross Satan is silenced he can no longer successfully accuse you the law cannot
9:42
successfully condemn you anymore God is
9:49
glorified God cannot forgive Sinners and at the same time appear like
9:56
he's in complicity with sin God has to forgive sins
10:02
righteously so there's no way God you know people say things like why why the cross I mean God forgive us God forgives
10:08
us well if God just forgives US based on Mercy where is his Justice where is his
10:14
righteousness if God just operate by righteousness and Justice and and just W
10:19
every person in in the world who has sinned there be no one left where is his Mercy amen but the Bible says God is
10:27
just but God is light God is also love same Epistle of John God is love we know
10:33
God is love but God is light amen if God is Not righteous he
10:41
doesn't punish wrongdoing the whole universe will collapse 1 Corinthians 10 says now reverse it if Christ is risen
10:47
your faith is energized amen your faith is alive you
10:52
are no more in your sins
10:58
Hallelujah I don't know if you understand that we are actually I preached on this only
11:06
once that we are caught in a battle of the ages men long before men we all think
11:13
that Warfare happened because men came on the scene actually Warfare happened long before Man was
11:18
created we became the target of the enemy because God loves
11:24
us part of it he's jealous because in Hebrews 2 it says God rendered eight to the Seed of Abraham to man but God did
11:32
not render eight to Fallen Angels so
11:41
Lucifer his name was Lucifer he was one of the archangels now the church likes to say that you know he was a worship
11:49
leader Michael was the uh Waring Archangel there are three archangels and
11:54
then the third one is Gabriel who is a messenger Archangel but actually they
11:59
were all worship Angels they were all because in the beginning long before
12:04
Lucifer fell okay there was nothing to fight okay think how could Michael be a
12:13
Waring Archangel when there's no one to fight okay God has everyone in Heaven
12:20
all right there's no one to send mess uh to send a messenger to send a message so Gabriel was also a worship so all three
12:26
will worship our Angels right okay I submit to you go God works in
12:32
trees when God made that father son Holy Spirit but one God God Made You amen
12:37
your name is John there's only one John but there are three parts to John amen
12:43
sometimes John thinks he got seven Personalities in him no problem Jesus know how to handle that
12:50
also okay but God works in trees amen even time Dimension we have
12:56
past present future no no more no more you can't go beyond that and God is
13:03
outside time that's why the cross is outside time he can die for men who lived before he came on earth when he
13:10
was on the cross and he could die for all of us in the future you know today there's a debate
13:15
are all our future sins forgiven you bet it is because if our future sins are not forgiven we all of us are future when
13:23
Jesus died you better hope than our future
13:29
sins are forgiven can I have a good amen people now even archangels there are
13:35
three all right there's Michael there is Gabriel and there is
13:41
Lucifer who later on became Satan and the Bible says it like this and all this
13:47
got to do with righteousness the Bible says of of Lucifer in Ezekiel 28 you are in eeden the garden of God every
13:55
precious stone was your covering sadus topex diamond the ladies would love this
14:01
so people say that uh he became greedy of wealth hey he he was built wealth was
14:06
built into him all right the workmanship of your Tim broth and pipes so for uh I
14:12
can't explain this but he was created with musical instruments built in him he
14:18
was very beautiful the Bible says and then it says um drop down he was created by the
14:25
way God says you were created so don't forget the Devil is a created being God is not you are the anointed sherub
14:32
who covers I establish you you are on the Holy Mountain of God you walk back and forth in the midst of fiery Stones
14:39
you were perfect in your ways from the day you were created till iniquity was found in you now watch this you are the
14:45
anointed sherub who covers that reminds me of the Ark of the
14:52
Covenant do you remember the Bible says when you built the ark of the covenant show them a picture of the Ark all right the the AR the Covenant is
14:59
that box not the guy and that one is not a sherub okay nothing cherubic about him
15:07
we think of sherub as a you know a cute little baby it's not sherub is the highest form of
15:14
angels amen they rule the angels all three of them are AR
15:21
angels carim in in Hebrew notice that God says the Ark of the Covenant is to
15:27
be built with two sherub no this two sherub so that they
15:33
are guardians of God's holiness they are guardians of God's
15:39
righteousness do you remember when Adam sinned God drove Adam and Eve out that's the first time that that motoc car was
15:46
mentioned in the Bible God drove them out of the garden okay it's a bad joke I know anyway look at the Genesis tree God
15:53
drove out the man he placed cherubim what did God plac at the gate cherubim
15:59
so the cherubim had a flaming sword which turned every way to got the way to the tree of life so they they represent
16:06
they are custodians of God's holiness they are they are guardians of God's righteousness can you understand
16:14
that you're about to meet the one who is behind all your bodily
16:19
symptoms behind all your broken heart when you don't have enough you're about
16:26
to meet that one don't blame God I'm just showing you you are caught in the battle of the
16:31
ages okay so here we have the ark show picture of the Ark again of the Covenant
16:37
so two angels once a year now you have the 10 commandments inside this box they
16:42
represent man's rejection of God's law okay but once a year on yam kipo blood
16:48
is put on the mercy seat and the custodians of God's holiness their eyes the cherubim's eyes represent God's eyes
16:54
when they look at the blood they cannot see the broken law they cannot see men's Rebellion so they allow men to come in
17:02
into the holy of holies because blood is on the mercy seed there's one thing God's eyes cannot penetrate God can look
17:09
through walls buildings anything even your heart but there's one thing God's eyes cannot look through the blood of
17:15
his son and that's why the blood is a covering over our sin but in our case
17:21
it's been removed eternally and efficaciously
17:27
removed that's how powerful the blood of Jesus is
17:33
hallelujah so there are two cherubim there and this is what Mary
17:39
Magdalene saw on the resurrection morning the Bible says she ran there
17:44
with the two disciples James and John James and John were there first obviously they were they were they were
17:49
man and she was a a lady she she ran behind but by the time she came down there they look in and they left so she
17:57
was left there alone crying but she looked in she looked into the tomb the Bible says she saw two angels in white
18:06
sitting one at the head and the other at the feet where the body of Jesus had
18:12
Lain she saw the real Mercy Seat atonement has been
18:20
made the law all right was in the box of the Ark
18:26
of the Covenant but the blood Mercy Grace Rejoice over
18:31
judgment righteously amen so back to the devil in Ezekiel 28
18:37
all right you were the anointed sherub he was a sherub who covers and look at his uh his activity you walk back and
18:44
forth in the midst of fiery Stones you were perfect in your ways until iniquity
18:49
was found in you so his his function was that of a guardian of God's
18:55
righteousness now what gave him that that that audacity to want to user God's
19:00
Throne what made him think that he can get God's Throne you think that I mean it's just a futle exercise anyway we all
19:07
know that you know but perhaps he knows something about God's Throne maybe after
19:13
the Triune God if God should ever fail if God should ever fail and the
19:19
foundation of his throne is compromised the devil has this idea he will take
19:24
over so the devil said in in Isaiah that he will Ascend to the heaven he will be
19:30
like God he will take God's Throne now he was created like the other
19:36
two our angels to be what guardians of God's holiness God's righteousness so much so when God asked
19:43
him in Job chapter 1 God says Satan the Bible says the Angels Came to
19:49
present themselves to God and Satan came and God said Satan where do you come
19:55
from he says from walking to and fro in the Earth and God says have you considered my servant job in other words
20:02
even though he's fallen in some perverted way he still believes
20:08
he's a guardian of God's righteousness so let me tell you this you sure in a
20:16
perverted way I said if I tell you show me the work of the devil where you
20:21
probably you know go to the sest side of town wherever you you are living all right the sest side of town where they
20:27
are gangs and they they drug traffickers and they ladies of the night on the
20:33
streets and all that and you point to that and you say that's the work of the devil that's the work of Satan well
20:40
those no doubt powers of Darkness are involved but actually those are the work of the lower minions I'm not refering to
20:47
the yellow minions his his and his under
20:53
rank if you want to see the devil's work Satan's work
20:59
many of times it's found even in Rel churches
21:06
institutions where God's law is upheld instead of the cross of Jesus Christ and
21:13
the Bible says no wonder Satan himself is transformed into an angel of Light
21:18
whose end and his preachers are preachers of righteousness but righteousness according to Works whose
21:24
end shall be according to their works so he will say it's very important you all know the Ten Commandments and do your
21:31
very best to keep the Ten Commandments God's law is Holy no doubt I say Amen
21:36
God's law is righteous I say Amen but because it is perfect because it is Holy
21:41
and we are not we cannot that's why we need a savior but
21:47
he will say you can do it you can keep it and he know the strength of sin is the law are you with me so far so
21:55
Satan let me show you God's strong real quick Psalm 68 8 Psalm 68 or 89 excuse
22:00
me almost the same righteousness and Justice are the
22:06
foundation of your throne righteousness and Justice the foundation of God's Throne God's Throne is established on
22:12
righteousness say Amen mercy and Truth go before your face this mercy and Truth
22:18
by the way is and don't forget in in in Hebrew Jesus the law was given by Moses but H
22:25
Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ literally all right so this is Grace and Truth so God loves what goes before
22:31
God's face mercy and Truth grace and truth true Grace true Grace but his throne is
22:39
established upon righteousness now the Devil is a was
22:46
created with Michael and Gabriel to be what sherub sherub means what guardians
22:51
of God's righteousness and now the devil says ahuh God has created
22:59
a new creation called man Adam and I see
23:04
that God loves him so much just like I see some of you you have a newborn baby all right after four I visit you again I
23:10
see the way you do on your little boy youall can see me doing that with Justin all right you love that boy so you
23:16
stting to yourself if I want to get God I will get him through his love for that
23:22
boy I will cause God now this is his evil thinking all right but Pastor how
23:27
you know not because great minds thing are light because I read the Bible I read the Bible
23:36
okay he thinks to himself you can find this in Isaiah he thinks to himself I will take the Throne of God but what is
23:42
God's Throne God's Throne is not mercy and truth it's righteousness and justice
23:49
but God loves mercy and Truth amen what to God leadership can
23:56
understand that our judges can understand understand there amen you have to keep righteousness you have to
24:01
keep maintain justice but your heart must always love mercy and Truth amen sometimes we have to do
24:08
justice but our hearts must love Mercy listen carefully the devil says well if he loves man I try to get God to
24:17
compromise his righteousness our will cause the one that he loves to fail him and I'm going
24:24
to see how can he forgive him righteously is the KRA the master achievement of an
24:33
evil
24:40
mind we are caught man is man is just caught in the battle of the
24:45
ages so just like the story of King Darius when King
24:52
Darius the king of the the middle uh the P King of Persia he
24:59
had people that he got from rather it's people from from Jerusalem and Judah
25:06
that were taken captive by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon that's the beginning of the times of the Gentiles
25:11
prophesied by Daniel but after Babylon was the middle Persian now we come to
25:17
that period the king of the king of Persia Darius his
25:22
name now the captives that were taken by Babylonians were still there one of them
25:27
is Daniel Daniel is a captive but the Bible says he rose to the ranks even to the
25:35
time of Nebuchadnezzar all the way to Darius he rose through the ranks to become one of the top three again three
25:43
governors of the entire uh Kingdom of Persia one of the top three the other
25:51
two were jealous and all the F traps and the princes throughout the entire door
25:57
domain of King Darius was jealous that Daniel being a captive not even one of
26:04
them was promoted and how so they were jealous of
26:13
him so they plan some find some fault in Daniel but
26:18
the Bible says Daniel had an excellent Spirit they couldnot find any fault in
26:24
Daniel except he prayed three times a day openly on his balcony so they said okay
26:33
let's get something there now there is a law of middle persan that says once the
26:38
the king uses his his uh ring to punch the clay tablet and establish a law once
26:46
it's signed that decree cannot be changed even by the king himself so they
26:51
all got together okay and the Bible says uh show them all the Govern so they came
26:57
to to the king they came to the king like this all the governors of the Kingdom now they they Li because it's
27:02
not all the governors they didn't approach
27:10
Daniel the whole thing is designed against Daniel and yet because they know the king loves Daniel by the way did I
27:17
did I establish the king loves Daniel the king loves Daniel so they came to him as if Daniel is part of this this
27:25
petition oh King all the governors of the Kingdom the administrators the satra the counselors advisers have consulted
27:31
together to make a decree that whoever petitions any God or man for 30 days
27:36
except you oh King shall be cast into the Den of Lions the subtlety of it they
27:43
flatter the king they say that for the next 30 days no one can pray to
27:49
nobody no God no man except you oh
27:55
King whose flatulence is a has the perfume of the
28:00
night whose toll gem is delicacy of the poor you know how they flatter the king
28:07
oh except you oh king
28:13
sorry all of us have decided you know when people come to you and say people are saying about you usually it's just
28:20
them their wife their mother-in-law and their dog everybody is saying this about you
28:25
usually it's not everybody okay so when he say all the governors obviously this whole thing is designed against Daniel
28:31
right and what's the devil what what is the enemy after they after the fact that
28:37
they going to take advantage of the love of the king for Daniel to make the king compromise his
28:42
law I think some of you getting this already right are you listening people
28:48
I'm talking about the Battle of the ages and God put his stories there to illustrate to us now is this a good law
28:54
no it's an evil law is the king a good man no he's a heathen King the one being accused is he
29:01
a good man yes he's a Godly Man Daniel and yet you know what the king did drop
29:09
down now oh King remember they said that anyone prays to any other God a man they'll be thrown to the Den of Lions
29:17
now Old King established the decree and signed the writing so that it cannot be changed according to the law of the meid and Persians which does not alter
29:23
therefore King David signed the written King Dar excuse me did I say David Darius signed the written
29:31
decree drop down and the King when he heard this words now I'm I'm going ahead
29:37
of myself they actually this was the another time after
29:42
he signed the thing they actually caught Daniel praying Daniel knew about it but
29:48
Daniel still prayed he were not compromis when it comes to God Daniel Prayed and as a king we found Daniel he
29:56
petitioned during this 30 days and when the king heard it he was greatly displeased with
30:03
Daniel was it with Daniel with
30:09
him he knew it was a trap and he knew that once the law is
30:16
signed the decrees is in place even the king cannot change the law of the middle persan he knew he fell for the
30:24
Trap and he set his heart on Daniel he loved Daniel to deliver him and he labored to the going down of the sun to
30:31
deliver him wow he loved Daniel here we see when love is
30:38
powerless against the law so the devil seeing God now God is
30:45
not King davius right God is a king amen King of the earth king of the universe but God is it
30:52
like King Darius no God is holy king Darius is not
30:57
God's law is it evil no it's perfect law good law but the people that God wants
31:03
to save are they evil are they sinful true and true
31:09
yes so God used this little picture to show us even the contrast illustrate his
31:14
grace and mercy are you with me amen how and you know the story Daniel didn't die
31:21
by the way all right I'm waiting for another sermon where I'll preach on how to spend an overnight stay in the Lion's
31:27
Den okay the cut long story short Daniel came out and all the lions became little
31:33
uh uh cats you know that played with him spend the night with him but the moment you think they are small cats let me
31:39
tell you this the moment the king says okay Daniel has pit his uh Daniel was not delivered listen Daniel was not
31:45
delivered because the king says no he will not go in I love him no he went in he paid the price but once he has been
31:52
in the Judgment he cannot be put back in it's called The Law of double jeopardy even the king knows that and the King
31:58
says bring all those who treat me throw them in the Bible says the the the bades that came all right before they even
32:04
reach the bottom the Lions killed them the hungry Lions cracked their
32:10
bones are you listening people all right so these are no little
32:16
cats okay so here we see a beautiful picture and then we come to the New
32:22
Testament we see the Lord Jesus you know the story I love this story and how they
32:28
brought to Jesus when he was teaching in the temple amen they brought a woman caught in adultery in the very act I
32:33
wonder what they're doing they you hiding themselves behind the curtain or what are they doing you know and they're
32:39
probably volunteering one of them you know to do it so that and the whole purpose if they want to Stone that girl
32:44
that girl they don't have to bring her to Jesus there's plenty of stones and plenty of willing hands the fact they
32:51
brought her to Jesus it wasn't that they they were they were zealous of God's law being up upheld they were PR pret preten
32:58
it's a pretension to the law the problem with with with uh people coming against Grace it's a pretension to the
33:05
law because if you really believe the law the law will cause you to despair you say I need a savior Jesus says you
33:13
think committing adultery is just jumping to a bed physically with a woman I tell you if you undress her mentally
33:19
you are guilty of adultery then you will scream I need Jesus right nonetheless they brought
33:26
this woman called an adulter before Jesus in the most rude fashion they threw her right in front of Jesus while
33:31
he was teaching in the temple precin and they said Master we caught
33:37
this woman in the act of adultery now Moses says that such should be stoned
33:42
what do you say any resemblance is purely
33:49
coincidental and Bible says Jesus didn't answer them Jesus just stooped down with his finger he wrote on the ground look
33:56
at this picture here he wrote now the reason why I show you his writing on Stone I want to see this I want you see
34:01
this is because one of the advantage of going to Israel is that you learn things like this God's spirit can show you one day
34:08
number of years ago many years ago actually I was in Israel in the area of the precincts of the temple the temple
34:15
is no longer there they threw down the even the stones of the the huge stones of the temple but the marketplace is
34:21
still there the precincts the idea of the stone is all there okay at the bottom
34:27
and then I realized that nowhere is it grassy nowhere is it like a garden it's all Stones so the place that Jesus
34:34
taught was the precincts of the temple it must have been when he wrote on the ground he didn't write on Earth ground
34:39
he wrote on Stone so they are saying Moses said that such should be stoned and he's telling
34:45
them by his action you presume to tell me what Moses said I am the one who gave the
34:52
law Hallelujah when God came down
34:58
the first time God wrote on Stone and when he he stooped down he was
35:03
demonstrating he's the god that stoop down in Mount Si to give the law that he
35:08
knew man cannot keep and then he rose up and he said he that is without sin throw
35:15
the first stone look people he did not say Stone her the people start saying well he talk
35:22
about love Grace where is the love and grace now neither did he say don't Stone her the Pharisees will say you breaking
35:28
Moses law but what did he say he that is without sin throw the first
35:36
stone actually there's only one without sin
35:42
him they would throw the stone if they could but they could
35:49
not he could but he would not and then the
35:54
Bible say second time he stooped down now now how many times did God give the Ten Commandments
36:00
twice the first time you know who broke it Moses broke all 10 he took the 10
36:07
commandments before he reached bottom he broke them then God says Mo come back up
36:13
all right and when God gave him the second set where did God put the second set where did God tell Moses to put the
36:18
second set where in the Ark of the Covenant where the blood is over it and
36:25
God cannot see through the blood God sees the blood that redeem us from
36:30
all our sins amen so Jesus also stooped
36:35
second time when Jesus Stoops down he always raises us up you know you read
36:41
the Bible carefully the woman was standing she was standing when Jesus stooped down when he Stoops down it's
36:47
only to raise you up when he breaks your heart he always does it with kindness
36:52
It's the goodness of God that leads us to repentance now did he break the law no he
36:57
didn't now what law was this just now Darius story it was an evil law right
37:04
but this story here is God's law it's holy law it is righteous
37:10
law and who is the one talking about the law Jesus the Pharisees but who is the
37:19
one that the law was targeted towards by the Pharisees was she Godly like Daniel no
37:25
she was guilty mind you adultery she committed adultery she was
37:31
guilty Daniel wasn't and it was an evil law this is
37:37
God's law and she's guilty and then Jesus says he say without sin throw the first
37:43
stone yes you can throw but only the one without sin throw the first stone the Bible says one by one they slank away
37:50
one by one they left beginning from the elders it never gets better as you grow
37:58
older you see more sins so the oldest being the
38:05
guiltiest the youngest a bit more duh that is sin
38:11
man so beginning the Bible say beginning from the oldest they left one by one everyone left until Jesus and the woman
38:18
was left then Jesus looked at her and she was weeping I love it the Savior and
38:24
The Sinner alone
38:29
and it says woman where are those thine accusers and she looked around probably
38:36
she was crying all the time she looked for the first time he says no man Lord she called him Lord and he says neither
38:44
do I condemn you did you hear that neither do I condemn you you know why he
38:49
said that because he'll be paying for her sins not too long after that there's a
38:56
price for her forgiveness I told you God cannot just appear like he's forgiving
39:02
Sinners with complicity with the sinner sin so death must be paid Jesus say
39:07
neither do I condemn you go and sin no more so the church want to tell you go
39:14
and sin no more first and then we won't condemn you but Jesus says there's no
39:19
condemnation if you receive this it will Empower you to go and sin no more now we
39:26
see the law is powerless against love just now we saw that love was
39:32
powerless against the law now we see the law is powerless against love oh God's
39:38
wisdom God's wisdom now what do this got to do our righteous I'll close with this what do this got to do with our
39:44
righteousness well friend listen there's this verse in the Bible Proverbs 17
39:50
verse 15 he who justifies let's all read this together as we bring this to a close he
39:55
who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous both of them
40:01
alike are an Abomination to the Lord the word just there is righteous so the Bible says you know what an Abomination
40:07
is worse than sin when God uses the word Abomination it is a intense word it is
40:13
like I was toldo the the the the the image the picture there the Hebrew picture there is that of smelling a date
40:20
rat that's been date for a number of days and you are stuck in that small room with that rat all right the way you
40:27
feel towards that rat as you smell all right the deathly uh cops uh the the
40:33
ccus of that that rat you smell that that's an Abomination just like the Bible says
40:38
Christ sacrifice was a sweet smelling Aroma we all of us are unto God a sweet
40:44
Aroma of Christ amen when God smells like like Jacob you know uh uh um he
40:50
smells Isaac smells rather and He blesses Jacob amen God smells the
40:56
sacrifice that went up to God God smells it and God blesses it God blesses us amen so Abomination
41:04
what's an Abomination he who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous
41:11
both alike are an Abomination to the Lord when God gave me this verse some time back I was stunned and
41:18
and I said that I understand those who justify the wicked now put this as your own self can you justify yourself
41:25
yes what about you are God's righteousness right Jesus rose from the dead when you are declared righteous now
41:31
you are just right you have been Justified right you have been Justified am I right amen when you receive this
41:38
gift of righteousness Romans 5:17 you reign in life right so it's a gift right show them Romans 5:17 all right by one
41:45
man's offense death Reign much more those who receive abundance of grace and the gift it's a gift it's not a reward
41:50
that you do because of your long prayers your your good works and all that it's a gift say gift say gift of right
41:56
rightousness two times say the word gift two
42:03
times gift so it's a gift because it's all done by Jesus am I right so he rose from
42:10
the dead you receive the gift of righteousness God treats you as righteous amen and you receive abundance
42:15
of Grace now you will reign in life so the devil would not want people
42:21
to find out abundance of Grace oh is Joseph Prince teach too much on Grace we need an abund abundance
42:27
bro we need an abundance and if if the devil being the devil he would try his
42:33
best to try to remove abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness because it will stop people short of reigning in
42:42
life reigning over their habits okay now back to the Proverbs 17
42:47
Again the Bible says what we understand justifying the wicked like the Pharisees are they Wicked yes but they justify
42:54
themselves abomination Abomination alert Abomination alert whenever you are
43:01
self-righteous Pastor Prince I I don't need to be safe I'm I'm quite okay and I I do this kind of thing I do charity
43:07
work I do that well you know what the Bible calls that there's a there's a law in the Old Testament about leprosy if
43:13
you have leprosy on your hand or on your forehead or on your limbs the Bible says
43:18
you are unclean the priest will have to shut you away from the rest of the Assembly of Israel but there's a there's
43:23
a very unique law also in the Old Testament it says but if you are covered with Leprosy from top to bottom
43:30
completely covered with Leprosy the priest will pronounce you clean you understand Paul says in my
43:37
flesh dwells no good thing so when you say I'm I'm I'm a sinner true and true then God says no problem I'm your
43:44
savior are you listening people all right so we we we when we don't believe
43:49
that it's very hard for us to declare I'm the righteousness of God in Christ it's very hard because we believe deep down we still believe that we are our
43:56
own righteousness now watch this the Pharisees represents the first
44:02
part justifying the wicked they are sinful and yet they act like they are Justified they are sinners but they act
44:09
like they are not and all those who are like them God says there Abomination okay that's hypocrisy right
44:16
hypocrisy is pretending to be what you are not the world out there calls us Hypocrites let's see who the real hippo
44:23
all right watch this he who condemns the righteous now when
44:30
Jesus rose from the dead you are made righteous right that's why Jesus was
44:36
raised from the dead am I right okay now are you righteous are you Justified
44:42
therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God am I right what if you condemn
44:49
yourself what if you condemn yourself do you fit in the Bill of condemning the the righteous
44:56
if you condemn another brother is that fitting of this this verse is an
45:02
Abomination and by the way maybe you don't condemn another brother but you condemn yourself what is that
45:09
Abomination to God so when you were a sinner you cannot say you're are righteous that's hypocrisy but now you
45:15
are righteous you cannot say you're a sinner that's hypocrisy so we Believers I'm sorry our
45:22
actions are not perfect but we are righteous tilt tilt how can you say
45:28
that can you tell me how come Jesus became sin he committed no sin he
45:34
received our sin at the cross same way we commit no righteousness we receive his righteousness and at the cross God
45:41
treated him right with judgment with his righteous indignation
45:49
amen God PA his rough on him likewise now that we receive righteousness God PA
45:55
his favor on me let me ask you a question the devil now can he complain the devil saw God's love
46:01
for you and I right and he he thought to himself ah God is righteous M man is
46:07
sinful ahuh God loves man now God is righteous he cannot
46:14
compromise he must punish sin man is sinful God loves
46:20
man I think the throne is about to be mine you get what I'm saying that's the battle of the ages
46:26
if God ever compromised his righteousness his throne will crumble his throne will be hand over to somebody
46:32
else which Lucifer believes he's the next one but the wisdom of our God the
46:38
cross changed everything the cross changed everything all right God is now
46:43
righteous in making you and I righteous with no complicity of sin God didn't compromise in fact when Jesus says he
46:50
that's without sin throw the first stone he didn't compromise he didn't break the law yet he saved the woman the wisdom of
46:56
our God Hallelujah the Bible says he's righteous in making us
47:01
righteous so when the angel of death passed through Egypt at night and the people
47:08
were trembling behind the door all right the the the Israelites were were were were praying and and and and confessing
47:14
their sins and and they were eating the the the roasted lamb and and the blood is on their doorpost Amen on the lintle
47:21
and on the doorpost making a cross and the angel of death passes by God didn't say when I see your good works when I
47:27
see your good family name when I see all the wonderful things you have done no no no God said when I see the
47:34
blood I will pass over you I will not allow the angel of death to come in amen
47:41
so the the angel of death saw blood that means what there has been a
47:48
judgment all right pass by this house you understand and a lot of crying that
47:54
night because the Egyptians did not have Blood on the doorpost now we have two families two
48:00
Israeli families one is praying confessing crying begging all huddled together and trembling making that
48:07
living room their toilet another room another family
48:12
singing Hallelujah praise be to God God is a god of his word he says when I see the blood
48:19
I will pass over you children don't worry amen the blood is the foundation
48:26
for our forgiveness and our protection but his word gives us the
48:33
Assurance amen so you can rest on God's word amen now which house is
48:39
safe both both house is safe but one suffered
48:44
needlessly throughout that entire night one had depression probably the next day
48:50
they need to be on Zanax or whatever I don't know all right they need to find you know but they were I mean they
48:55
they're so depressed they they don't have love joy peace but over here they're rejoicing but they rejoicing did
49:01
not change the fact they forgiven they're not more forgiven because they Rejoice neither is this family less
49:09
forgiven because they didn't Rejoice I do not know how to appropriate the benefit of the blood doesn't really
49:15
matter it's not for you to appropriate it's for God to see your faith is to know that God sees the blood when God sees the blood you know that God sees
49:21
the blood the Judgment passes over you my part is to know that God sees the blood as long as I know God is satisfied
49:27
I can rest my faith is not to assess the blood it's for God to assess the blood the
49:34
value of the blood amen it's not for me to assess the blood my part is to know that God when God sees the blood there's
49:39
no judgment for me when God sees the blood I am forgiven God sees the blood he pronounced me righteous I know that
49:46
do I understand completely no but I know that it's for God to understand it's for
49:52
God to to see amen are you with me so far Isaiah 54 we
49:58
close look at this all your children shall be taught by the Lord doesn't say You must teach your children about the
50:04
Lord but that the Lord himself will teach them all your children shall be taught by the Lord and great shall be
50:11
the Shalom the word Shalom is not just peace of mind but also Health great will be your children's health great will be
50:18
their peace great will be their well-being because they are taught directly by the Lord why because in
50:24
righteousness the father is established in the mother is established in righteousness our being established in
50:30
righteousness affects our children when we are legalistic they are insecure when we are
50:38
restful in our walk with God great Shalom comes on them don't try to just
50:43
focus on your kids focus on your walk with the Lord and ask yourself are you establishing this truth of
50:50
righteousness are you the righteousness of God in Christ and every day look for
50:55
for that and the Bible says that you shall be far from oppression for you shall not fear and from Terror we live
51:02
in a world of Terror all right and and but the Bible says when you are established in righteousness you'll be
51:08
far from oppression for you will not fear and from Terror for it shall not
51:13
come near you God did not say there's no Terror but it will not come near
51:18
you the more you say I'm the righteousness of God in Christ before you bought a plane I'm the righteousness of God in Christ and that's the greatest
51:27
humility before God to PR say I'm not righteous you know I'm just this I'm
51:32
just that and all that that's not that's not going to help you that's that's false humility pseudo
51:39
humility amen when you say I'm the righteous of God in Christ Jesus is glorified the Bible says he will see the
51:46
travail of his soul and he will be satisfied
51:51
amen and it dropped down all the way it says no weapon form against you weapons will be formed there be new weapons
51:58
formed by the enemy against you but no weapon formed against you shall prosper every tongue which Rises against you in
52:04
judgment you shall condemn this is the heritage of the Servants of the Lord and their righteousness is from me says the
52:11
Lord so it helps you in your business even getting suit Whatever It Is God
52:18
didn't say you won't get but God says no weapon form against you will prosper every bad letter written against you
52:23
will not Prosper every tongue that Rises against you in judgment will not Prosper why because because we are good because
52:29
you are good because you are righteous no your righteousness is from me and that's what you establish in and the
52:35
more you establish in that the more you will find the realities of this truths
52:42
being fulfilled in your life one last verse we close Jesus says this in
52:47
Matthew 6 Matthew 6 verse 31 therefore do not worry saying what shall we eat or
52:54
what shall we drink or what shall we wear we call this the in in in Christianity they call this the lower
53:00
needs compared to your higher needs your spiritual needs you know wisdom favor
53:05
with God and all that but let's look at this lower needs does does God care whether you are provided for does righteousness cover that let's see all
53:12
right what shall we drink what shall we wear and and Jesus says the body is more important than clothing which refers to
53:19
health so it's all covered here for after all these things the Gentiles sick
53:24
for your heavenly father knows that you need all these things but seek first the kingdom of God and his
53:33
righteousness seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will
53:41
be added to you amen seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and
53:46
all these things will be added to you notice 6 verse one the kingdom of God
53:51
and what is the kingdom of God Romans 14:17 says the kingdom of God is not food and drink it's
53:57
righteousness so it's as if he's saying seek first the kingdom of God underline his
54:03
righteousness and all these things the lower needs the the lower ones will be added
54:10
to you that's like clothes added to you food added to you as if you need
54:17
more all you need physically will be added to you added okay watch this amazing wisdom of
54:24
God and close have you been blessed yes Jesus
54:30
says the primary thing is his righteousness not your righteousness you
54:36
must be established in his righteousness Jesus rose from the dead that means I'm righteous amen because God sees me in
54:43
him God never look at Jesus without seeing me in him I repeat God never sees Jesus without seeing me in him and God
54:49
never sees Jesus without seeing you in him you understand God doesn't see you outside of Jesus
54:55
never so you are righteous in him how righteous of you are you as righteous as
55:01
Jesus he is the measure of my righteousness and to do to say otherwise is an Abomination it's Pride okay are
55:09
you with me so far now watch this this are amazing wisdom from God tell me you can find this wisdom of God anywhere
55:15
else okay except here in Jesus words Jesus says if if you put the primary
55:22
thing the primary good in the primary place then the secondary good will be
55:29
added to you without even you're seeking it but listen if you put the secondary
55:35
thing in the primary place you will forfeit all the primary good and there's
55:42
no promise you'll get the secondary benefit so the idea of people pursuing
55:50
physical things all the time when Jesus says you don't put a physical things your priority in life is physical
55:56
physical material material and Jesus saying you're going to lose both going to lose the primary thing his
56:02
righteousness and you're going to in our case we lose the consciousness of it and you're going to lose the secondary
56:08
benefit but Jesus says if you put the primary thing first his righteousness every day just know this if you declare
56:15
you are righteous you believe it you listen to messages on it Joseph Prince messages are quite good onest listen to
56:21
it amen not the only one but quite good okay you listen listen listen the more you listen to it you see this is your
56:26
priority this is your your your your primary um main focus then not only you
56:34
get the benefit of righteousness you get the physical lower needs added to you
56:40
but you put this lower need in the primary place you lose both what
56:46
wisdom it helps your focus to be very simple you know everyday in life I just I don't have to pursue health I pursue
56:53
the fact am I right rightousness conscious today I seek intensely to be
56:59
established in that righteousness Consciousness and guess what clothing is added food is added doesn't mean there's
57:05
no challenges doesn't mean there's no weapons but any weapon form won't Prosper any doesn't mean Tong won't rise
57:11
tongu will rise amen but it will not succeed against you because because of what Jesus did people Satan cannot
57:18
successfully accuse and the law cannot successfully condemn you are the
57:23
righteousness of God in Christ rist and all because of Resurrection give him praise hallelujah boy I'm glad I came to church
57:31
amen hallelujah every hate bow every eye closed all across this place and
57:36

58:09
but God so Lov man for God so loved you he sent his son to die for your sins to
58:17
think that the Son of God the Trice holy the righteous the blameless Son of God
58:23
would take our place take upon himself all the liabilities all the judgment and all the
58:33
consequen of our sins in his own body that we might be
58:40
righteous where is Jesus today at the father's right hand the same Jesus on
58:46

cares he loves you he's there right with you right in that house by you amen you
