Hello, and welcome to the Born Again Podcast, where we believe in the truth and that the truth comes from the Word of God. Thanks for tuning in. We pray that you will receive all that God has for you.

SPEAKER_04 0:14

John, the third chapter, the 16th and the 17th verse. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Let us read. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but shall have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. Amen. You may be seated that the world through him might be, can be, should be saved. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. I'm getting a little whistling. I don't know if you hear it or not, but uh man. Glory. Okay. All right. That's good. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Last week we started on Resurrection Sunday speaking on the power of love in the resurrection. The power of love in the resurrection. So I know Resurrection Sunday was was last Sunday, but we're going to talk about it a little bit more today. We're going to get in there a little bit more today because uh, amen. It's something uh that is powerful to us. And we see the God's uh expressions and God's uh victory, God's faithfulness uh to his to his son Jesus. And then we also see through that the faithfulness that he has for us, or the faithfulness that he has towards us. So we're gonna start first if we if we may, hallelujah. Glory to God in John 1 and 29. Start there first, amen, and we're gonna move move on. Hallelujah. It's here uh over in the book of John. Now there are four there are four gospels, uh, you know, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, but uh John, uh Matthew, Mark, and Luke are what is called the synoptic gospel because they uh have a parallel with each with one another. But the book of John is kind of separated, it does have somewhat a parallel, but not the same as those three gospels. So John, you know, John was the one uh that said John was the one that uh uh uh might have got the other uh disciples uh uh looking at him funny, if I can use that one, because John said that I am the disciple that Jesus loved. And and you kind of have to think about, you know, him making that, him making that saying he's the one that Jesus loves. The other ones probably uh thought something about that, amen. But but he loved, and we we see on the cross that John was the one or uh uh Jesus told John to take care of his mother.

SPEAKER_03 3:29

Amen.

SPEAKER_04 3:30

So John uh he speaks to some things and he says some things that we we might not we don't find in the other gospel. But here John says, the next day John seeth Jesus coming and said uh unto him, Behold the Lamb of God which take away uh the sins of the world.

SPEAKER_05 3:54

This is uh who taketh away the sins of the world.

SPEAKER_04 3:57

Uh and Jesus, the whole plan of God was for Jesus to take away the sins of the world.

SPEAKER_05 4:04

As a matter of fact, that's why Jesus came, amen, is to take away the sins of uh the world.

SPEAKER_04 4:11

And uh Jesus, he completed that mission, completed that task, he completed that assignment. Uh let's look at Ephesians. Uh he would be a lamb, he would be led uh to the slaughter, uh, and he would he would die uh for the sins of this world. Amen.

SPEAKER_03 4:32

And so let's look at Ephesians 3, 17 through 19, because we want to really kind of talk about uh the extension uh or how far God went or how far God was willing to go.

SPEAKER_04 4:51

And in Ephesians uh the third chapter in the 17th verse, he says that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, that ye being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and the length and the depth and the height, and to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God, and to know the love of God that we might be filled with all the fullness of God. But let's go back up to verse number 18, I believe, if we can go back, and you may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and the length and depth and the height of God's love. You know, this right here is very paramount in our lives because we see from the scripture that God went to, we don't know if it went went, we you know, went to the fullest extent and beyond the fullest extent to redeem and to show his love toward us because he loved us, he went through a full extent. Some people will go with you so far, but at a point they'll cut you off, right?

SPEAKER_03 6:26

But Jesus was willing to go and to do everything necessary, everything necessary that needed to be done, and probably exceeded that that was necessary.

SPEAKER_04 6:41

So he says, and you may be able to comprehend. Comprehend, we know what that means. It means to understand or have a working knowledge, right, with all saints, what is the breath. Now, when we look at the breath, uh, we're looking at the with talking about the whip of God's love. And uh, we can understand that that that breath of God's love is is boundless and which it has no limits. God put no limits on his love, meaning that it it spreads as wide as we can see, and then even that that we can't see, his love. The blood of Jesus extends so wide that his blood washed away all our sins and covers not only that washed away all our sins, but then covered our circumstances. You see, washed away all of our sins, and we just not talking about sins for a particular period of time, we're talking about sins that happened in the present, happened in the past, sins that are now in the present, and then sins that are in the future, his love, the breadth of his love, extends that wide so that he would cover all. And so he covered us. We we are completely covered, uh, and then not only covered, but he washes them away, right? And so his blood washes our sins away. Let's look at 1 Corinthians uh the 13th uh chapter, I believe that is. I didn't uh that might not be on your on your paper, but uh the scripture backs up what Jesus did on our behalf.

SPEAKER_05 8:39

Amen. Glory to God, hallelujah, glory to God, amen.

SPEAKER_03 8:45

Let's see if we uh let's see if we uh got that right. Amen.

SPEAKER_02 8:54

Let me find it.

SPEAKER_03 9:06

Well, he talks about uh that I put that down wrong, I might have been. Let me go back. He talks about there's therefore now. He would not allow us to be attempted above that that we're able to stand, but that he would allow us a way of escape that we would be able to bury the wrong director James one and thirteen.

SPEAKER_02 10:12

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 10:15

First Corinthians ten. First Corinthians ten thirteen. Yeah, that's where we were.

SPEAKER_05 10:22

Thank you for that. Thank you for that. Yeah, yeah, ten and thirteen.

SPEAKER_04 10:26

I wrote down Okay I wrote I didn't write a first chapter. Amen. So he says here, uh, any circumstances, his blood covers any circumstance. He said, There is no temptation taken you, none, no temptation. There is that there had no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man, meaning that whatever temptation is calm is nothing new, it's a common process of ways where Satan operates, but God is faithful to his breath, right? He is faithful who will not suffer you to be a temp to to be tempted above that ye are able, right? So if you're in a situation, he don't allow you to have been a situation above that you be that ye are able, but with the temptation, also make a way to escape that you'll be able to bear. Right? That means that there is no situation by the breath of the love of God that you can get into as a child of God, and God doesn't have a way, He doesn't have a plan of escape for you. I have to do away with the fact or the theory that the enemy somehow has more power than God.

SPEAKER_03 11:59

It's a fallen theology, it's and it's a failing theology, that there is nothing that can happen, right?

SPEAKER_04 12:08

And whatever might happen, that God cannot provide me a way of an escape out of it. And he says that he won't even allow he'll make it able that I'll be able to bear. As a matter of fact, he won't even let it go that far. If I'm a child of God, if I'm a child of the king, and if I'm obeying God's word, right? The enemy, the enemy is defeated, and he's defeated foe, and he was defeated 2,000 years ago, and he's still defeated today. Because the breadth of God's love, the width of his love covers every situation and every circumstance that I can have in my life. And when that word is down in your heart and it's song down in your heart, and you stop giving the enemy credit, you'll walk in authority and power. Glory to God, because he said that you give it, he's giving it unto you. The enemy is defeated, and then he says in that same scripture, he says, the lint, the link is the endless. Yeah, the link is the end, meaning that there's no end to the love of God. When the love of God, uh Jeremiah 31 and 3, I have loved you with an everlasting love. What does that mean? That means his love don't quit. Even when I don't think love, I mean his love don't quit. His love is still working, where at on my behalf. The Lord has appeared unto me saying, Yeah, I have loved ye with an everlasting love. Therefore, with loving kindness have I drawn you. He never uses tactics of fear to draw you to him. He never uses strategies of the enemy. He never uses sickness and disease to draw you to him. He never uses those. He, matter of fact, he has no sickness and disease to give. So he says, he uses with therefore with loving kindness, I've I draw on you. He just he just love on you with his love. He just lets you keep seeing his goodness. Hallelujah. And his goodness brings you in, and it's endless. The length of this is endless. That means that no matter what I do, can't run out of it.

unknown 14:46

Glory to God.

SPEAKER_04 14:48

Some people like to say, and you gotta be smart enough not to believe it, but some people like to say, God's grace will run out for you. I don't believe God's grace runs out. I believe God's grace is endless, but I do believe time can run out. I do believe time can run out. But grace doesn't run down. If you can stay here 200 years, grace will be here with you. Glory to God. It'll be right here with you because it's it's endless and it doesn't run out. Glory to God. So he says that he has loved us with an everlasting love. Uh, also in that same scripture, he talked about the devil. Says that it's uh phantomless or is exhaustless. You can't exhaust, you can't wear his love out, you can't pull on his love so much that he said, oh, oh, wait a minute, he can't take no more. Because I I need something for other folk, huh? Meaning that his love is exhaust, is exhaustless. You cannot exhaust his love. This is what provided for him to be able to send Jesus. Because even Jesus was uh of his love, but Jesus was of the Jesus could not be exhausted. Jesus, the Son of God, he could not be exhaustless. So uh uh when we when we look at uh and we see uh in in the depth that he was exhaustless, let's look at Philippians 2, 7 through 8. But he made himself of no reputation. Oh, this is what I like about you. Jesus, you could not do anything to him for him to change his mind or turn around. But made himself, this is Jesus now. This is God, uh the depth of his love, his exhausted love. And sometimes we look, if if we look at some of the things that they play, if we look at uh uh uh uh uh a scripture, if we look at movies, and we we see all the things Jesus uh went through, especially through the crucifixion. We see all of these things happening and we say, or at least I can't say we say, and I think this man took all of this. You know, he didn't take all of this because he was powerless, as he didn't take all this as though he was powerless, he took all of this because the love of God he has a he had an assignment and he had to go through all of this. So he took this, he took this, talking about the death, uh, but made himself of no reputation and took upon himself the form of a servant. He's gonna come and and serve us, and was made in the likeness of men, made in the likeness of men. Next verse, and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Even the death of the cross. Now, the death of a cross was a wicked death. It was a it was a maybe maybe it was a it was a cruel death because it was a death of humiliation, right? Right now, when you when you study a little bit out on on the crucifixion and the death and and uh them bringing Jesus to Pilate and these type of things, and uh and and you wonder, sometimes I wonder why did they bring him to Pilate? Well, I come to understand that they bring him to Pilate because the Jews themselves didn't have authority to crucify. They didn't have authority to crucify, they had the authority to stone him to death, but didn't they have an authority to crucify? But they wanted him crucified because they wanted him humiliated in front of the people, in front of Roman rule and Roman government, that he would die the death of the cross, and it's a it's a maze.

SPEAKER_03 19:17

I don't know if I say this, but this was the leader of the temple. These these these people, these people, they they they they were not gentiles who didn't have no God on their side.

SPEAKER_04 19:41

These people that had him crucified was leaders in the temple. They sat in the temple on the on a daily basis. Herod and Anias and uh Anas and Cleophys. They they were there, they were rulers in the temple. These were Gentile folk, they didn't know God, Gentile folk were going on about the big won't say that.

SPEAKER_03 20:19

A lot of your comes from people in the church.

SPEAKER_02 20:35

Sometimes that's where it comes from.

SPEAKER_03 20:38

I mean it comes from the world too, but sometimes it comes from inside, it comes from within.

SPEAKER_04 20:47

But the Bible says that Jesus made himself no reputation, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death.

SPEAKER_03 20:58

Jesus had to he had to choose to die.

SPEAKER_04 21:04

See, through law and roman rule, he had a law and and and and and legal rule, he had to choose to die. Because death only came upon folk who see it, and he had none. Until the scripture said that uh he who knew no sin became sin for us, and when he came sin for us, that was now a legal right for him to die, but he himself had no sin. And that's why when he went down into the depths of hell, it was illegal for hell to hold him, he was in hell illegally, he was in hell because of us, he he he was illegal. Down there. And that's why, through the Father, faithful will raise him up. Glory to God. And then when we look at the height of uh the height or the measureless, the measureless, it was measureless uh of what Jesus done uh from our perspective. In most of our uh college, institute, or or schools that are just normally and and and maybe in some of the school uh school uh that we have that teach education that educate us, uh a lot of these schools they they'll deal uh in human, I guess, anatomy, they'll deal with soul and body, but they won't deal with spirit, right? Because from the perspective of spirit, in scientific uh conception, if it cannot be measured, it don't exist. And since they cannot measure spirit, can't really measure soul, but they have to accept that we have something. But since they but since they can't measure spirit, that's why they don't teach it in school, they don't teach spirit, soul, and body in school, because why? It can't be measured. We can't we can't measure it, we can't tell where it stops, we can't tell where it starts, we can't tell where it becomes, we can't tell how deep it goes and how high it rises. So they don't deal with it, they don't accept it because, in scientific type matter of things, if it can't be measured, it must not exist. You just think about you go to our doctor, they can measure, they can see stuff, right? But they can't measure your spirit, they can't tell the measure of the spirit of God in you. Those things they just kind of write off. But he said that uh he he was raised together with us, and so in in the height is may be able to comfort him with all saints. What is uh uh let's get let's go to uh three and six, Ephesians three and six. Glory to God, that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel. This is what uh the measureness uh of it was that we now are Gentiles, will become fellow heirs with Christ Jesus. And what is the height? The height is now we're seated together with him, where in heavenly places. That's just the height that we rose from this earth and we're seated together now with Jesus in heavenly places. We seated, say, I'm seated with him. We got we got we got we got uh we got dual citizenship. Amen. We got human body citizenship here, but we have spiritual citizenship in heaven, and because we have spiritual citizenship in heaven, we also have spiritual citizenship here in the earth, so we have dual citizenship, so we don't always have to walk according to our flesh. Come on, somebody, we don't always have to walk according to our flesh, we can walk according to our spirit. Folk unsaved folk don't have a choice, that's all they have is to walk in their flesh. So when you say that, you say, What do you think that's gonna think that's all they have? They don't have nothing else to walk in, but the believer has a choice. He said, If you be led by the spirit, you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh, right? And so he tells us how to be led in order to stay out of the flesh. If you're led by the spirit, you should not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Glory to God, glory to God, and so um, glory to God, hallelujah.

SPEAKER_03 26:23

Thank you, Jesus, glory to God. See where we want to go here.

SPEAKER_04 26:30

Thank you, Jesus for true for true deliverance, there is always a show. And so we see this process being played out when Jesus hangs on the cross, we see it being played out when Jesus says, uh uh, Lord, in to your hands, I commend my spirit. He releases his spirit, right? He releases his spirit to the father. And the Bible says that after he released his spirit to the father, it says he hung his head in the locks of his shoulders and died. And when they came to take him down from the cross, they were they couldn't leave him up there because uh the Sabbath was coming, uh, or they couldn't leave him up there all day. And they said they looked to break his legs, but they saw he was already dead. Glory to God, hallelujah. And since he was already, since he was already uh dead, let's look at Matthew uh 27, 51 through 52. 51 and 52. Let's see if we got this one right. Amen. Glory to God, hallelujah.

SPEAKER_05 27:56

Glory to God 27 over there. Yeah, that was a lot for here to read.

SPEAKER_04 28:06

And so this is this is a show of God's power in 51. Here he says, And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the bottom, from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent. Now, when you look at this, you see you see the power of God working that rent that veil in half. He's working with this power. This wasn't the power of a man, this was the power of God, and he said he rented, he tore. Rent means when when you tear, there's something of a straight edge, there's no crumble. But when he said he rent, he he he uh he uh behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain or in two from the top to the bottom. This is also the top and the bottom is an expression of God's power, it's an expression of God's power, right? And so this veil being rent symbolizes uh at least two things that now man had the right to go before God for himself. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. He need no more, he needed a priest, no more did he need uh a man. I need a man, you need a man to go before you, or a woman to go before you. Now the veil is open. But the second thing it also symbolized is that what he says over in scripture over in Ephesians, he said, now that the two can become one, the gentile and the Jew. Now the two become became become one, and they shall make one new man, the man Christ Jesus. And the earth did quake, and the rocks rent. Verse, the next verse, please. Glory to God, and the grave, and the grave. Look at your neighbor and say, never left behind. You can tell the neighbor and say, never left behind. Watch this, and the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept a robe. Glory to God. Never left behind. Now these were people, glory to God. These were people that were had died prior to the death, burial, resurrection of Christ. And when if you go ever study these out, these were people that were in what we call the Abraham bosom. They were in Abraham's bosom. Now, now different teachings that you might look at. Some say that there are five steps of five levels of hell, of Hades. The first level is Abraham's bosom, which had which was a span from the other four levels. But since God had people that worked for him and they couldn't come to heaven, uh, it was necessary for him to create a place, Abraham's bosom, where those saints would go. When he says, and graves were opened, and many bodies of the what he said, saints. He didn't say people that didn't believe for him, he didn't say people, but he said saints, right? Which slept, he said that he didn't even call them dead here. He said they were just sleeping, they were waiting for the time. Ah, glory to God. Amen. And when Jesus, when Jesus was resurrected up out of the grave, when Jesus got up, y'all get up with me. Y'all get up with me. Y'all and he said they didn't just get up and go to heaven. The scripture said that they walked the earth, they were seen by people just to let people know that he's arisen and we have arisen too. Ah, glory to God. And the graves were the graves were open, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose. Glory to God. Don't that sound like the rapture? Don't that sound like the rapture? One day he's gonna do this again. And folk gonna get up out of the grave, and folk that are dead gonna get up out of the grave, and folk that alive shall rise. And he said that give glory to God. We shall meet him where? In the air. Ah, glory to God, glory to God. And the veil of the temple was rent, and the graves of the saints, the righteous dead, the righteous dead opened, and there and and they were held there. Now there were, now there, glory to God. Now there were all the devil thought he had. All the devil thought he had now was gone. But but Jesus said that ain't enough. But the Bible says that in uh glory to God. Let's look at Matthew 28, 2 through 6. We're going on, y'all. We might get out early today. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Matthew 28, 2 through 6. And behold, there was a great earthquake, God showing his power, for the angel of the Lord ascended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and set up on it. The angel came and angel came and rolled back the stone and and and set up on it. Uh, this is Jesus now uh uh being ready or in the process or being or has already been resurrected. Next verse. His countenance, gonna talk about the angel. His countenance was like lightning and his raiment white as snow. Good glory to God. Next verse, and for fear of him, the keepers, the keepers did shake and became as dead men. This is the power of God. God is displaying his power during divine, uh, the during the divine resurrection. There there is no uh there is no deliverance without the show of the power of God. Because God always shows his power when deliverance takes place, whether it's for one or whether it's for a hundred, he shows his power just to let the enemy know. You don't have no authority, you don't, you don't have no power. Shows his power. Next verse, next verse, please. And the angel answered and said unto the woman, said unto Mary, fear not, fear not ye, for I know that ye see Jesus, which was crucified. Next one, he is not here, for he is risen, as he said, did what he said, did what he said. He said, You you he said, I'll destroy this temple in three days, but I'll I'll destroy this temple and build it in three days. And they said, Oh no, no, you can't you can't do that. It took 40, 45, 50, 45, 46 years to build this temple. How you gonna how you gonna re-establish this temple? Jesus said, I'm establishing a new temple. I'm gonna establish some people that they're gonna be my temple and I'm I'm gonna dwell in them. Ah, he is not here for he is risen as he said, come see the place where the Lord lay. Evidence. Evidence, come and see that he ain't here no more. Come, come and see that he's gone. Come, come and see that the Lord Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. Glory to God, hallelujah! Glory to God, thank you, Jesus. He's risen, he's risen from the dead. Ah, ah, glory. I want to just uh take up take up take a moment here to say to you, no matter how dead your situation looks, no matter how unproductive your situation looks, no matter how you you can't famine in your own uh mind, our own minds, how we're gonna move or how we're gonna get out of it. But once you get Jesus the Father involved in your situation, the angel will come in and roll away the stone. Who needs some stones rolled away? Hallelujah. Who needs some issues resolved? Hallelujah. And they say, He's not here, he's risen. And you look around and you look at that situation and say, That situation is not here, that situation is gone. That situation is dead. Hallelujah. The Father, our God, our deliverer, our very present help. No matter what condition you're in, no matter what your circumstance is, no matter what you got going on in your life, no matter if your your own your own thinking is tormenting you. Glory to God. No matter if there's an anxiousness in your in your in your in your soulish realm, no, no matter if if you're consumed with uh whatever might be going on in your life, if you can take just a little bit of time, glory to God, and get Jesus involved in it. It don't take him long, all right. It don't take him long to cause things to crumble, to cause things to crack, to cause things to dissipate, and then to cause things to disappear. He's risen. And the key is is we understand that he's risen now over 2,000 years ago, but we have to accept the fact that every day he's rising up in me. Every day he rises up in me. Every day, every day he's giving me strategy and weapons to deal with situations and circumstances that come my way. He'll never leave me, nor will he forsake me. He'll be with me, I'll be with me always to be with me in the dark times, he'd be with me in the good times, he will be with me in the not so good times. The good thing is that he'll be with me, and he'll be with you. Got to get ready to close now. Glory to God. No, no matter what you experience uh in this life, uh, God can roll the stone away. God can cause the stone to be removed. God can cause victory where there is no victory in your life, in my life, in our lives. He's able to do exceedingly abundantly above all things. Hallelujah. Exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think. We're gonna close out right here in Colossians 2, 14 and 15. Colossians 2, 14 and 15. And this is what Jesus now that he has been resurrected, uh, now that he sits on the right hand of the Father and He's a intercessor, he's an intercessor, he's uh He's intercessing for me.

SPEAKER_03 40:01

Stay in contact with Jesus.

SPEAKER_04 40:04

Sometimes you can't contact him, but you said, Jesus, uh I I can't, I don't feel like I can contact you, but you can you contact me? He'll contact you. Because the key thing is to call on him, the key thing is to call on him because he's already made commitment and he's already faithful and just to do what his word says. So in Colossians 2, uh verse 14, he says, uh, we could read much of this, but uh uh time might not allow. But he said, blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, and and and sometimes uh uh the God has blotted out the handwriting on the wall, the ordinance against us. But but here's the issue. Uh, a lot of times we set up ordinances in ourselves. We set them up, and and and and once we once we set them up and and we got them in place, now we have to operate by them. But the problem is we want to operate by them, these ordinances when God has already said, I'll blot out. And he's blotted it out, and we'll take something and write in there. We'll take something and write it right in there, and and now God has to wait for us to see that he's blotted out these things so that we can come around. But Jesus said, I've blotted all the handwriting of ordinance that was against us, and sometimes we'll go in and we'll establish stuff in us that's not like God. God didn't do it, sometimes the devil don't even do it. We do it because we go seeking after another, we go seeking after something else, we go seeking after something that ain't go with God. Hallelujah. But you got now that you're done it, you're gonna have to use God, get God's help to blot it out. He said, blotting out the handwriting of ordinance that was against us, which was contrary to us, meaning that they had no ability to help us in our mental state, in our spiritual state. They had no ability to cause transformation to come into our lives, so we can walk in the level of freedom that God wants us to walk in. They were contrary to us and took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross. He nailed it to the cross. That means that means all situations and all strategies that the enemy has, God nailed them, Jesus nailed them to the cross, he put them on the cross so that they would stay on the cross and that they would not be removed from the cross, and we would not at a later date take them down. Oh, and try to try to use them for ourselves. Glory to God, verse number uh uh yeah, 15. And having spoiled, now he didn't just nail them to the cross, but he rendered them useless. And having spoiled, spoiled, and having spoiled principalities, principalities are the structure set up, or the are the are the structure uh set up that the enemy has. Right? His principality, the way he's organized his force, and so power, and so Jesus says here, and having spoiled principalities, that means all demonic oppression, all demonic spirits, all demonic activity, all demonic, demonic, whatever it was, Jesus spoiled it. Spoil means to make useless. Spoil means that you don't you don't take something out of your refrigerator and you look in it and you see a spoil and eat it, do you? You don't open up your milk and and and uh you open it up and that's some air. Come out of it and you still pour it on your flakes, do you? You do what do you do? You disregard it, right? You throw it away and you don't take it to your neighbor. Uh-huh. You don't take it to work and put it in the break room, right? You disreg you discard it in the trash and you make it of no use to anybody. That's what Jesus did. For the principalis. And he put them in a place where he can make them no use to anybody. But you know, man in his own wisdom, he'll go grade it out the trash. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Man in his own wisdom. I had a professor uh uh named Dr. Fink, and and and Dr. Fink would say, Man left to himself will destroy himself. Glory to God. And he said, so having spoiled principalities and powers, he didn't just destroy the structure, but he destroyed whatever power they have. Death, the the keys to death, hell, and the grave. Jesus recovered them and took them back, and he spoiled everything else. And so you got to be able to tell the enemy, you spoiled. You worthless. You have none effect, you have no power, you have no authority, you have no ability over me. I am the I am the king, the king, king kid. Because you've been spoiled according to the scripture. You've been made of no effect. And the only thing he has to do now, he's gotta run. He don't have an option unless I give him an option. He don't have an option unless I give him an option. And I refuse to give him an option. Because you go, you gonna you gonna you're gonna be under my foot, just like and you gotta sometimes your voice gotta get loud. Sometimes you gotta get firm in what you say. Stop being with it. Speak to it, say it over. Stop going in your prayer calls and crying and going in your prayer closet and decrease who you are and what you are in Christ Jesus. Glory to God. Oh, yes, Lord. Yes, Lord, glory to God, and having spawn, and we we gotta get this, and having spoiled Jesus did it, and having small principalities and powers, he made an open show of them openly. What does this mean? This means that he didn't do it in the closet in a back alley somewhere in the dark, but he did it on on right on Main Street so everybody could see it. He made an open show of him, of them openly, all of his powers, all of his principalities, all of his authority. He said, I'm gonna make an open show of you, and then the script, ah, glory to God, made an open show of them, and the Bible said, triumphing over them in it. In other words, in other words, this is my preacher's my preacher's analogy, or maybe my preacher's philosophy, that when Jesus went to hell, Satan began to realize who he was, and in our own preacher's imagination, I can see Satan summing back everything in the earth back to hell because he knew he was gonna need some help, but even though he did, he didn't have enough help because there was no help. You were defeated from God's spoken word back then, and you're gonna be defeated today, and you're gonna be defeated tomorrow and the next day. You'll always be defeated, you can't change it. Glory to God. And he said that he sparred them and he triumph them over them. Ah, glory. And so uh when you go and you study out, this is a process that kings use uh when they take another kingdom, they'll take the leader of that kingdom. Sometimes if they have to kill him, they'll kill him. And but then this is the his it's gonna be kind of gross right here. But they would take their head and they would put their head. You remember uh how Saul said, uh, bring me his head, I'll take off his head. Saul took, oh God, not Saul, but David, excuse me. David, David took that head when he when he uh uh decapitated Goliath, put that head on a stick, and he took that head and raised it up, and he walked through the land. When Jesus said that, I made an open show of him, meaning that he took all that Satan had, he thought he was, he thought he was gonna be, and he raised it up. Said, Yo, your your enemy, your God, your idol, your this, your that has been defeated. His system, his kingdom has been spoiled. And because his kingdom is spoiled, has been spoiled. We're the benefit of his kingdom. We're the benefit, we're the beneficiaries, we're heirs and join heirs of his kingdom. Hallelujah. We can do all things through Christ Jesus that strengthen us. We we walk by faith and and and not by sight. We have given it been given everything that pertain to life in godliness. Hallelujah. I'm I'm victorious. You you victorious. You defeated. You take what God says and do what he says, you take God's assignment and work with the assignment he's given you, and God will show you, and you you'll go farther than you ever thought you could go. Because he's able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we can ask or think, according to the power that worked within us. The power of love. God displayed his love for us through counseling, through denying, through voiding out every work of the enemy that he had done. He showed his love, he sent his son, and Jesus was raised out of the grave. Hallelujah. He was raised out of stone, and he defeated all the strategies and the works and the tactics of the enemy. Aren't you glad about it? Aren't you glad about it? Glory to God. Aren't you glad about it? Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. We're glad about our king. We worship our king. Hallelujah. Sometimes things go rough. You stick your head up, you stick your shoulders out and you say, I'm a part of God's kingdom. I'm part of God's kingdom. I got backup in my kingdom. The devil, I get I know how to call my backup. I know how to get my backup on the scene. I know how to cause my backup to show up in the middle of a situation. I know how to do it. I'll do it.

SPEAKER_03 51:12

I'll do it. I'll know how to do it. Matter of fact, I'm gonna do it.

SPEAKER_04 51:21

I am I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Maybe you've heard this word today, and uh that's scripture that you can go back and study, you can spend time studying uh the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Hallelujah. And you will be able to draw so much power, you'll be able to draw so much authority for what Jesus did on our behalf. Might be somebody that's not saved today. You don't know Jesus as your personal savior, you don't know him as your personal savior. Or maybe you in a in a black slit state, you you believe you ought to be going further, but you're kind of being held up by something. But Jesus says you can today, Jesus says you can move forward. Jesus said, Oh, glory to God. Hear the Spirit of God say, Don't stop dreaming. I hear him say, Don't stop dreaming. Some some some sometimes because things ain't came around, maybe like you want to, you've shut off dreaming. But I hear God say, Don't stop dreaming, keep keep on dreaming, fold your hand, wrap your hand in me. Because the dream that you had is not a dream you gave yourself, it's a dream that came from me. Don't slide out on it, don't forsake it, keep on dreaming. You might have some struggles before fruition comes, before manifestation shows up. But if you keep on dreaming, if you keep on calling my name in the midst of whatever your struggle, whatever your problem, he said, I won't turn my back on you, I'll never leave you, nor I'll forsake you. I'll be with you always, even until the end of the way. I hear him saying, Don't get tired, don't get weary in your well-doing. For in due time, in due time, you shall reap if you faint not. Ah, glory to God. I am Alpha. I hear him saying, I am Alpha and Omega, I'm the beginning and the end. I am he that was and still is. If you can roll your calf, if you can cast it on me and keep it on me, glory to God.
