[Music] John 1 verse 9 it says if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness it says if we confess our sins the word is homolog it's a verb it it means to make the declaration but here in its context the right synonym is to acknowledge it says if we acknowledge our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins did you notice what it says he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness it means he's got a job to do and it's up to him to do that job and what he's saying is he can be trusted to do his part okay look at Romans chapter 3 and um you go to verse I'll begin from verse 22 because what I want is actually in verse 26 but I'm looking for the the best place I can take it from verse 24 okay being justified freely notice that being justified freely by his grace through the Redemption that is in Christ Jesus whom God had set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousness to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are passed through the forbearance of God to declare I say at this time his righteousness that he might be just and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus he's talking about God's righteousness in the remission of sins that God is righteous and that in his righteousness he puts away man's sin and justifies him and that word justify is the biggest word of the gospel and I'll explain it to you but let me take you through this first part 1 John 1:9 again can you put it back up there okay it says if we confess our sins if we acknowledge our sins he is faithful he can be trusted he's faithful and just he's not talking about asking he says to acknowledge you get it he didn't say ask he didn't say ask for forgiveness acknowledge your sin now when you acknowledge what should you do let's look at this in a practical way if I say oh Lord please forgive me when am I going to know when he's done it because I asked right because I asked so when does he do it okay listen to this when you study the first Epistle of John you would notice he has his writing in three categories the first category to the children the second category the young men and the third category the fathers he Associates the children with sin and the children are those who really don't know the word of God but they have come to know the father even though they don't have that acquaintance they have recognized him they've come to him and they sin all the time because they're children they do the wrong things and so he says to them my little children this are right to you that you sin not when he when he talks to the fathers he says if you're born of God you don't sin he says the one who's born of God cannot sin cannot sin now if you study first Epistle of St John with the mind of a child a spiritual baby you would think he's contradicting himself in telling you that you cannot sin and then telling you that um if you sin we have an advocate with the father how can you sin if he says you cannot sin yeah we got to find out who he's addressing who is he talking to so there are different levels and different classes and he wants us to grow in Grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ grow in Grace grow in knowledge so I said to you when does the father forgive and on what grounds can he forgive on what grounds can the father forgive you how can he forgive you without legal grounds the truth is this he's already provided for your forgiveness he doesn't now forgive you no he's provided forgiveness what he wants you to do is to obtain forgiveness receive it you see if we teach God's people the accurate word of God not only will they grow they will grow strong and they will put the devil where he belongs under their feet it's so important that we teach them and if Satan can keep you asking and asking for forgiveness and you're not sure whether or not you've been forgiven he'll make you ineffective in your Christian Life inefficient and you can perform you can do the things that God's called you to do and your faith will be weak because always there's a call to remembrance of this whatever sin it is and there's something there about forgiveness you've got to know the father is not so much after you getting forgiveness as he is after the real reason for forgiveness forgiveness is from the word aesis aesis means Freedom primarily means freedom I'll take you to that that's what primar means freedom so the father's focus is freedom from sin see that because you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus you are the expression of with righteousness okay so let's do it step by step first go to the book of Acts in Chapter 13 from verse 38 and I want you to notice this Acts chapter 13 from verse 38 he says be not unto you be not unto you you therefore men and Brethren that through this man Jesus he was talking about Jesus this is the 38th verse so the context is on Jesus he says be it known unto you therefore men and Brethren that through this man Jesus is preached unto you the Forgiveness of sins watch it now it's preached onto you the Forgiveness of sins verse 39 and by him all that believe are Justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses this is this is mindblowing he says and by him all that believe are Justified from All Things Justified that means declared not guilty acquitted not guilty free how can a sinner be declared not guilty of the sin that he committed because he says through this man is preached unto you the Forgiveness aasis freedom from sin and by him all that believe are Justified from all things from which he could not be justified by the law of Moses acts 5 verse 31 look at this it's talking about Jesus him had God exalted him had God exalted with his right hand to be a prince and a savior for to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins uhoh listen to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins to give it we're not through here chapter 26 verse 18 book of Acts let's read from 16 or 17 17 so we'll come into 18 properly okay now the Lord Jesus appeared to Saul of tus okay popularly known as Paul and he says this to him delivering thee from the people and from the Gentiles onto whom now I send thee Verse 18 I send thee to open their eyes and to turn them from Darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God that they may receive the word receive is lambano it means to take it that they may receive forgiveness of sins take forgiveness of sins he didn't say that they may ask for forgiveness of sins that they may receive forgiveness of sins an inheritance okay the same way you receive the inheritance is how you receive the Forgiveness they're both on at the same life from Bano did you see that he says that they may receive forgiveness of sins and inheritance okay do you ask for your inheritance why do you ask for the [Applause] Forgiveness he says through this man is preached onto you the Forgiveness of sins he's telling you in the Gospel of Jesus Christ forgiveness is is in the package receive it and make it yours does that make people sin more no because the idea is freedom from sin understand it freedom from it freedom from sin doesn't mean Freedom I'm not talking about freedom freedom from the bondage of sin no I mean freedom from sinning Freedom From The Bondage of saying that is easy for people to understand that Satan's dominion over them is broken as far as the bondage of sin is concerned but you doing something wrong is it possible to live righteously is it possible not to do wrong is it possible emphatically yes this is what Jesus came to do otherwise it means that his purpose was not accomplished for this purpose the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil there are two reasons people sin two reasons for all sin any sin the two reasons and you sin because of either one of them or both fear and selfishness and what has God brought to replace fear and selfishness faith and love Hallelujah if you walk by faith you cannot live in fear if you walk in love you cannot be selfish therefore if you f in faith and love you cannot sin nothing done by faith and love could ever be sin can you see that it's pretty that simple so now if you if you did something wrong in your life and you're thinking what to do stop asking and trying to wait to know whether or not God has forgiven you no don't ask and try to know whether he's done it receive lambano take forgiveness so what do you say father I acknowledge that this thing that I did is wrong and I receive forgiveness in the name of Jesus you see that puts responsibility on you and not on God you're not going to be trying to think whether has God forgiven me it will be have I received it did I take it can you see it now it changes the issue of Faith instead of thinking I don't know know if God's done it you ought to be thinking what have I done with it have I received it so the problem is not God the problem is you so receive it and quit asking again and again take what belongs to you Hallelujah so can we go to 13th verse of Colossians the 4th chapter who had delivered us from the power of darkness and had translated us into the kingdom of his dear son his loved Son I told you he has already translated transferred us that's what the word says transferred us now he is not talking about uh transpiring from time to time and so we don't know where next we'll go in land no he's done it permanently permanently you've been transferred translated into the kingdom of his loved Son that's where you are now the question is do you realize you are in his kingdom do you realize that you're not under the Dominion of Satan then where did the cancer come from where did the migraine hers come from if you've been translated into the kingdom of his dear son how did the devil get to you that's when you say in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I refuse to accommodate the devil and anything from him Satan I belong in the Kingdom of God's dear son Jesus Christ your authority over my life was broken when I was born again I received eternal life and became a child of God and I don't belong under your jurisdiction I don't belong there and there's something even better they're not belonging under his jurisdiction it's the fact that you've got power over him now you see that you've got power over him Jesus said in my name shall they cast out devils that means exercising control over Satan now he's under our jurisdiction Hallelujah he's under our Authority and I know there are people who say that um they don't believe in the existence of Devils demons that these are in the imagination of certain Christians imagination the Bible says Jesus cast out Devils was he stupid he did cast out Devils you smarter than Jesus Christ Jesus said he he was teaching one time in the synagogue and the Bible tells us a woman who was b double and couldn't straighten herself came in what Jesus was teaching and you know she was walking slowly in she came in trying to get herself comfortable and Jesus said come here and the woman walked toward Jesus and the master said of this woman of this woman being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan had bound l these 18 years be loed on the Sabbath day he said Satan had bound her her condition her infirm condition Jesus said was cursed by the devil that's what Jesus said and he proved it by touching her and commanding her to straighten up and she was healed instantly if that hadn't happened then we could have said well maybe Jesus was guessing maybe Jesus he he he didn't get it right but he did he healed her the result was there I told you yesterday he commanded the deaf Spirit to come out and the man began to hear that meant it was true I've done the same thing over the years and casting out deaf spirits and instantly they start hearing many several born death and D did exactly what Jesus said to do exactly what he did if Jesus had been wrong there would have been no result [Music] Hallelujah glory to God what does God need to do to give us anything he says the one who gave us his own son wouldn't he with him freely give us all things is there anything too good for you you know when we ask God for things we ask like he couldn't care less about it say God is kind is God is kind is God is kind God is he's wonderful he's wonderful he's awesome he's awesome do you love him yes Hallelujah okay Colossians chapter 1 back to verse 13 who had delivered us from the power of darkness and had translated us into the kingdom of his dear son he has translated us he has transferred us so where are we now come on where are we now where are we now where are we now what happens there what happens in that Kingdom tell me Hallelujah okay now he's translated us into that Kingdom the first thing is for you to recognize that you are there now recognize that you are there now you belong there you're there now and that's when you start asking the right questions if I'm there then this shouldn't happen and this shouldn't be you see and he says whatever you forbid on Earth shall be forbidden in heaven that means he will be behind you because your your standing on his authority whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven that means he gives the word when you give the word he endorses it so if you will forbid it it will be forbidden if you will allow it it will be allowed now can you imagine there are people who have been in certain conditions for for a long long time and they wonder why has this continued for so long because you've allowed it for so long the day you decide you don't want it to continue is the day it will stop once you say I don't want it anymore I had enough don't say oh god I've had enough oh god I've had enough he is not responsible for it because if you say that it won't change anything oh Lord please take this thing away he's not going to take it away because he didn't put it there and he's given you the authority to do something about it how much does it take to exercise Authority how much does it take you're not doing it in your name you're doing it in the name of Jesus how much does it take and did you notice he didn't say these signs shall follow see if you read it right listen to this these signs shall follow them that believe was what Jesus said okay he didn't say these signs shall follow them that believe they can do it he says them that believe believe what the gospel then he says in my name they shall cast out Devils he didn't say they shall cast out Devils if they believe they can did he say that no he's not believing you can he didn't say believe you can no believe in Jesus Hallelujah the focus is on Jesus if you believe in Jesus Christ you have received him as Lord of your life now that you are the believing one Jesus Christ has become Lord of your life you have received eternal life into your spirit you don't need to exercise hear me you don't need to exercise anymore believing about devils and casting him out this is Authority this is a difference you need to believe you can do it stop trying to believe you can do it I wish I could really believe you already believe so don't try to believe that's the thing about Authority let let me show you this imagine the traffic Warden at the junction and he does like this for you and you're coming on this side what is that sign everybody knows does he have to believe he doesn't have to he might even be drunk and if he did this for both sides this way and this way they'll both stop and that would be crazy I mean you stop this one you tell this side to go and he does this and this and he does this to everybody and they all stop and the guy's [Music] drunk It's Authority you see it as long as is in uniform he has that Authority he doesn't have to believe in it you get it if you will say it it will happen if you will say it and somebody says but I've been saying it you've been saying it I've been saying it and it hasn't been happening that's the problem who told you who told you who told you it's not been happening every time you SE your seed you pluck it out of the ground again and you say I don't know why it's not growing see when you say the word it works Hallelujah quit thinking it's not working yes sir if Satan can get you into the sense realm of trying to observe what does the Bible say they that observe lying vanities forsake their own Mercy they're observing lying vanities lying vanities they forsake their own Mercy glory to godallah oh Hallelujah verse 14 verse 14 you like this one say I am in the Kingdom of God's dear son I am in the Kingdom of God's dear son that's where I am that's where I am okay can you imagine this is the introduction of the subject all this we've been talking about in Friday Saturday and now it's the introduction okay so verse 14 in whom in whom talking about Jesus Christ he say in whom we have in whom we have in whom we have Redemption that means our red oh I wish I had time for that in whom we have our ROMs in whom we have Redemption through his blood now notice the word even in parenthesis that means it had to be supplied now the reason they supplied that word was because in fact they actually supplied the same thing um in the uh Ephesians chap 1: 7 a verse that is similar to this one and it's wrong because what what they're trying to say by even is to suggest that it means it means did you get it they're trying to say it means it means let me read like this so you can get what I mean they're trying to say in whom we have Redemption through his blood meaning the Forgiveness of sins but that's not true but it's good they told us that something was missing there what's missing is a simple conjunction put end there and you have it in whom we have Redemption through his blood and the Forgiveness of sins because they're two different things we have our R you know I just shared with you some scriptures that showed us that forgiveness of sins AES freedom it means in whom we have our redance and our freedom from sins see we're free from sin do you understand we're free from it we don't have to sin and we don't have to be watching to be sure that we don't sin no it's better to light a candle than the curs darkness just light a candle just walk in righteousness just walk in the light the Bible says if we walk in the light as he is in the light we Fellowship one with another in the blood of Jesus Christ cleansed us from all sin automatically if there's anything wrong you don't have to try to find out did I do something wrong listen there may the sin is everywhere why because man's word has been polluted so he cleanses us from all sin sin not necessarily committed by you sin robbed off on you you see that and so you don't have to watch for it and try to uh stay away from it no this was why in the Old Testament they did all kinds of Washings if they wanted to go into the presence of God they washed their hands and washed their feet you know they had to wash all the time these ceremon Washings all kinds of Washings that they had to engage in now he says the blood of Jesus Christ himself cleanseth us Jesus Christ is son God son his blood cleanses us from our sin automatically any sin that falls on you whether from someone else or whatever in the environment whatever it is you don't have to be watching for it it takes care of you the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin Hallelujah and you just keep walking your way through victory from glory to glory [Applause] hallelujah hallelujah you see that say I'm filled with righteousness I'm filled with right because I've been made made righteous made okay Romans 5 verse1 17 just take a look at this one Romans chapter 5:1 17 have you seen it for if I one man's offense talking about Adam Adam's offense for If by one man's offense death reigned death rained do you know what he's talking about there death death has reigned as a king man has dreaded death they don't know what to do about death they say everybody's got to die death is for everybody they fear death because this has become a king they don't know what to do about death for if I one man's offense death Rain by one much more there which much more than death has rained he says much more there which receive oh God and that word again is lambano receive it doesn't mean I keep my hands like this and you drop it here and I just go with it and say thank you uhuh receive lambano means take it by yourself take a hold of it lay claims to it don't stand there and think it's coming you see lambano they which receive some Grace no and notice he didn't use the definite article he didn't say the abundance of Grace because it's not the same for everybody they which receive abundance of Grace not the abundance of Grace but abundance of Grace there which receive an overflowing of Grace how much of it do you want he says go for it Paul writing to Timothy said be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus that means take advantage of the grace take as much of it as you want how much grace do you want they which receive they which receive they which receive abundance of Grace and then it says end of the gift of righteousness the gift because it's the same for everybody the gift of righteousness did you see that receive the gift of righteousness receive the gift there which receive the gift of righteousness the gift of righteousness he didn't say they which try to become righteous if you keep trying you will never get there if you could have gotten there Jesus never should have come but it came because you couldn't make yourself righteous that's why you needed him that's why he came to give you righteousness Hallelujah the gift of righteousness he calls it a gift he has made us righteous the righteousness is the nature of God that qualifies you to stay in the presence of God without a sense of guilt and without guilt without condemnation or the sense of condemnation are you hearing me and it imparts to you the rightness of God in your spirit and the ability to do right that's imparted into your spirits you find you carrying you the genes of God you are able to do what God tells you to [Applause] do somebody says oh nobody can live a true Christian life oh when that man receives the Holy Ghost when that man receives the Holy Ghost the power to do hallelujah hallelujah I got the life of God in Me I'm born again I got the life of God in Me look at this they let's let's read it for if I one man's offense that rain by one much more they which receive abundance of Grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reain in life the Amplified version says shall reign as kings in life is not talking about life in heaven because you don't

[Applause] introduction so all of that was to tell you this you ready now okay don't worry sometimes the introduction is often longer than the main thing so don't worry Glory to God hallelujah first John chapter 5 this was where I wanted to go all the time but we had to lay a very solid foundation first John chapter 5 from verse 11 say say I know who I am I Know Who I Am from verse 11 and this is the record oh Hallelujah this is the testimony this is the record this is the record that God oh brothers and sisters he says this is the record that God has given to us eternal life and this life is in his son this is not a promise he States He declares that he's already done it he says this is the record that God has given to us eternal life and this life is in his son verse 12 he that has the son that's life if you have the Son of God you have life can you see it it's not a promise he says this is is the record this is the testimony of God that God has given to us he has given to us he has granted us eternal life is in the law of God he's already done it The Sovereign Declaration of almighty God that he has given us eternal life and that this life is in his son anyone who has the son has this life and anyone who does not have the son does not have light look at it he that hath not the Son of God have not life if you have the son you have this life if you don't have the Son of God Jesus Christ you don't have this life it's a special life it is the the the the life of God it is the god life you have human life you have plant life you have the god life this is the life that Jesus brought to the world he said the thief cometh not John 10:10 the thief cometh not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy but I am come that they might have life he wasn't talking about copses he wasn't talking to copses that they might have life and that they might have it to the fool that meant that the life he was talking about was different from the life they already had I am come that they might have life this is Christ's purpose I am come that they might have life and that they might have it to the food and you know what Jesus said of himself he said as the father the father has life John 5:26 as the father has life in himself even so has he given to the son to have life in himself inherent life and this is the life that the father has declared is in his son Jesus Christ that anyone who has the son has this life he didn't say anyone who has the son shall have the life go back there John chapter 5 verse 1 John chapter 5 verse 12 first Epistle of St John chter 5:2 go back there and look at it he that had the son had life I told you hat is has okay that's King James for has he that has the son has life is that a promise that's not a promise come on that's a statement of fact that anyone who has the son has life he's not going to get it you are not getting more and more of life no come on the day a child is born he's as human as the parent he doesn't become more human every day as he grows does he become more and more human just because he's creeping and he doesn't walk yet doesn't mean he's not yet fully human he's as human as the P I got the life of God in me in every fiber of my being in my whole Spirit my soul and my body he that had the son had [Music] life he says this life ha this life he says God says this is the record that God has given to us eternal life he didn't say some life he says eternal life and that this life is in his son this life is in his son not some of the life this life is in his son the son said as the father has life in himself so has he given to the son to have life in himself this life is what the father has given and he says this life is in his son he that has the son has life he has it he didn't say when you come to Heaven I'll give it to you he didn't say when you pray loud enough I'll give it to you he didn't say if you behave well I'll give it to you if you have the Son of God you have life how do you have the son by receiving him as Lord of your life you confess his lordship over your life by declaring Jesus Christ is Lord Of My Life the Bible says if you will declare with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord believing in your heart that God raised him from the dead Thou shalt be saved for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness with the mouth confession declaration affirmation is made unto salvation and that salvation is what brings you in there Christ in you the hope of GL Christ is in me I have the life of God in Me you see I'll never go to hell never I'll never go to hell why because Christ is in me Jesus Christ is Lord of my life I couldn't go to hell if I went into hell all of them light will come into hell don't you understand if I went into hell hell would change why because Jesus Christ the light of the world lives in me and he has made me a light can you understand this I'll never go to hell Christ is in me Christ in me the hope of Glory [Applause] Hallelujah you see that oh let me show you more thank you Lord Jesus you know why is just saying that somebody with a lump in the breast just got healed just got healed lump is gone it's gone it's gone you've been asking you've been asking for a miracle and you've got it hallelujah hallelujah all right so um can we have first John chapter 4 in verse 17 just show that to you say hearing is our love made perfect that we that we may have boldness in the day of judgment see I told you I told you I said I'll never go to hell see in the day of judgment I'm going to be bor so there are people who are afraid of judgment days coming and when they hear about judgment days coming say well we don't know we never we never can tell what's going to happen God's Judgment Day what you mean you never can't tell if you can't tell now that you are what side are you going to be on Judgment Day some of us are going to be behind the desk do you understand judging the whole world that's what the Bible says we'll be sitting on Thrones with the master judging the nations of the [Music] world hearing is our love made perfect that we may have boldness in the day of judgment can you see the lad p because as he [Applause] is oh I I don't understand why is it that most Christians don't know that this is in the Bible why is it why don't they know that's in the Bible what in the world have they been looking for trying to get deliverance from the devil trying to get some help from man look at that because because can you can you imagine this was this was a side talk for John it was a side it wasn't the main subject that shows you the way they lived this was some this was commonplace knowledge in John's day because as he is as he is so are we in this world man so so so so so how how is he you want to know how is he notice he didn't say as he was you know they say well you know he was born in Bethlehem in a Manger he was the son of the Carpenter and I think that he was a mouth trying to be holy no that's not Jesus this is the reason Christ are you hearing me not as he was but as he is as he is so are we in this world how is he Hebrews chapter 1 we'll read from verse one Hebrews chapter 1 from verse one God who at sunary times and in diverse manner spake in times P onto the fathers by the prophets verse two had in these last days spoken unto us by his son whom he has appointed heir of all things he's the heir of all things of all things yes sir you know I I heard a story you know this is story about a man that had a certain kind of experience with God and he was he was saying that God didn't that he could create just like God could create and and you know so there wasn't any big thing about God and so God said to him so what can you make he says I can make anything I try to make something I make something so God said so start and he began to put some sand together and God said no no no don't use that that's mine I I made that [Laughter] one he said you got me you see he couldn't find what to use because God made the world out of nothing he made the world out of nothing and you know something the Bible says about him he says God who commanded the light to shine out of Darkness hi how do you how do you Analyze That how do you even begin to understand that he says he brought the light he commanded the light to shine out of Darkness do you understand he brought light out of Darkness he's not saying he brought light into the darkness that would be a big thing but that he originated light from the darkness and we know you cannot mix Darkness and Light he brought light out of Darkness oh you know what I I'm hearing the spirit saying that's one of the smallest things to do that's what the spirit said it's one of the smallest things to do that surprises you because you're thinking in this realm that surprises you praise God K grow G thank you Lord Jesus hallelujah hallelujah his greatness is what he's talking about the spirit of God is talking about his greatness his awesomeness the world will never be able to tell how great he is because they don't have the capacity to contain the descript iption they will never be able to understand that's what I said in the spirit that's what I said in other thoughts Hallelujah glory to God lift your hands and say thank you Lord Jesus his life is in us his life is in us the father gave birth to us we are from him we're born of God born of God as he is so are we in this world that's what the word says now you know what the word of God is the word of God is God's mirror and he sets up that mirror for us to look at us so you look into the mirror of God and you see yourself hey come on all right book of James chapter 1 from verse 22 James chapter 1 but be doers of the word and not hearers only deceiving your own serves all right verse 23 for if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer he's like unto watch it now it says if he be a hearer of the word and not a doer he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass in a mirror 24 for for he behold himself he sees himself and goeth his way and straightway right away forgeted what manner of man he was think about it a man looks at himself in a mirror soon as he turns away he forgets and notice the choice of words what manner of man he was what kind of man what kind of man what kind of man he's dealing with the kind here he's not talking about how pointed your nose is he's not talking about how wide your ears are are you hearing me he's talking about what kind of man what kind what manner of man I like that I like that go to the next verse I like that but who so look it into the perfect law of Liberty and continue daring he being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work this man shall be blessed in his deed
