time to be here. 12 00:01:01,019 --> 00:01:04,379 I don't know, but I've been coming about every three years in 13 00:01:04,379 --> 00:01:07,419 August and I'm grateful to be here. 14 00:01:08,059 --> 00:01:15,259 I am aware that things are unique at Heritage Baptist Church 15 00:01:15,739 --> 00:01:26,319 and I've been urged by the Lord and by leadership here and so 16 00:01:26,319 -->

today and I hope that you'll 24 00:01:55,389 --> 00:01:56,589 be back tonight at 6. 25 00:01:57,069 --> 00:01:59,629 I want to the song that Ms. Caitlin just sang. 26 00:02:00,749 --> 00:02:05,789 Tonight I'm going to preach what we call our testimony. 27 00:02:07,149 --> 00:02:11,949 My wife was in a terrible car crash 37 years ago this month. 28 00:02:12,349 --> 00:02:16,589 She was in a coma over 50 days, in the hospital about six months 29 00:02:17,769 --> 00:02:19,689 and so in a wheelchair for a year. 30 00:02:19,769 --> 00:02:26,009 And so years ago, 35 years ago, so on. 31 00:02:26,249 --> 00:02:30,329 I preached concerning our testimony quite a bit. 32 00:02:30,969 --> 00:02:35,809 Well, I haven't preached it in a long time, but the Lord prompted 33 00:02:35,809 --> 00:02:41,449 my heart to write the story down about what happened to us 36 34 00:02:41,449 --> 00:02:42,009 years ago. 35 00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:44,469 And I am almost done. 36 00:02:45,029 --> 00:02:48,549 I'm getting very close to the end of writing the book. 37 00:02:50,069 --> 00:02:53,509 And so tonight will be the. 38 00:02:53,749 --> 00:02:58,549 Either the sixth or the seventh time that I preach this and 39 00:02:58,549 --> 00:02:59,829 this calendar year. 40 00:03:00,309 --> 00:03:03,029 And I'm going to preach about why. 41 00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:08,629 What is God doing when horrible things happen? 42 00:03:10,519 --> 00:03:14,919 What's going on when there's an assassination? 43 00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:24,279 What's going on when there's disease, heartbreak, when there's 44 00:03:24,359 --> 00:03:29,479 wickedness like theft or murder or rape? 45 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,599 What is that about? 46 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:32,759 What is God? 47 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,159 Is he involved in it? 48 00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:34,919 What's going on? 49 00:03:36,559 --> 00:03:42,359 I believe the Bible tells us there's four particular specific 50 00:03:42,359 --> 00:03:43,039 reasons. 51 00:03:43,359 --> 00:03:44,719 This is why he's. 52 00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:45,919 This is why it's going on. 53 00:03:47,279 --> 00:03:50,919 Sometimes it's more than one of them, but often it's just one 54 00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:52,159 of those reasons. 55 00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:55,159 And I'll explain that tonight. 56 00:03:55,159 --> 00:03:59,639 And then there's Three responses that humans have, all of 57 00:03:59,639 --> 00:03:59,919 us. 58 00:04:00,399 --> 00:04:03,359 You're going to respond one, one of these three ways. 59 00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:06,239 That's the only responses there are. 60 00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:08,559 And so there are three of them. 61 00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:14,239 I believe that many people go through all three, and so it's not 62 00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:17,599 just one of them, but you could just go through one of them. 63 00:04:17,999 --> 00:04:21,959 And so I look forward to trying to get that across to you 64 00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:22,399 tonight. 65 00:04:22,559 --> 00:04:25,719 My wife Nancy is not in the room right now. 66 00:04:25,719 --> 00:04:27,759 She's in the other room at the hotel. 67 00:04:29,659 --> 00:04:33,179 Anyway, she will be here tonight if I have to duct tape her. 68 00:04:33,259 --> 00:04:34,699 She's coming tonight. 69 00:04:35,579 --> 00:04:36,539 Oh, she had. 70 00:04:36,939 --> 00:04:39,899 Yesterday morning she had a knee replacement about him. 71 00:04:40,379 --> 00:04:43,259 Oh, see August two months ago. 72 00:04:44,058 --> 00:04:49,339 And so she stumbles and she doesn't have good balance. 73 00:04:49,339 --> 00:04:50,779 She uses a wheelchair. 74 00:04:50,859 --> 00:04:54,009 Going from the bedroom to the bathrooms always has a. 75 00:04:54,009 --> 00:04:55,649 Not a wheelchair, a walker. 76 00:04:55,889 --> 00:05:02,449 And anyway, since her surgery yesterday morning, she fell in our 77 00:05:02,449 --> 00:05:06,769 bedroom and that was her third time to fall since the knee surgery. 78 00:05:07,889 --> 00:05:09,968 So she just is a wobbler. 79 00:05:10,129 --> 00:05:11,649 I don't know what to do with her. 80 00:05:11,889 --> 00:05:17,849 So I looked into buying Bubble Pack and I don't know if I want to 81 00:05:17,849 --> 00:05:19,969 invest in Bubble Pack or not, but anyway. 82 00:05:20,769 --> 00:05:24,529 But she fell yesterday morning before we left home to come down. 83 00:05:24,529 --> 00:05:26,769 And then she's. 84 00:05:27,089 --> 00:05:29,009 She's sore, she's bruised up. 85 00:05:29,569 --> 00:05:32,649 But also this morning she had a little bit of stomach trouble. 86 00:05:32,649 --> 00:05:36,769 But I really believe she'll be here tonight. 87 00:05:36,769 --> 00:05:40,729 I hope that you'll be here because you that know her want to 88 00:05:40,729 --> 00:05:44,249 see her and you that don't know her, you'll be glad that you 89 00:05:44,249 --> 00:05:45,089 get to see her. 90 00:05:45,979 --> 00:05:46,859 She's a blessing. 91 00:05:48,139 --> 00:05:48,619 Okay. 92 00:05:48,619 --> 00:05:53,099 Since I'm advertising and so on, on the back table back there, 93 00:05:53,179 --> 00:05:55,019

to the middle of your bible 124 00:07:31,289 --> 00:07:33,944 at Psalm139. 125 00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:36,749 Psalm139. 126 00:07:40,669 --> 00:07:41,309 And so. 127 00:07:41,389 --> 00:07:45,149 All right, now let me tell you what my intent to preach this week 128 00:07:45,389 --> 00:07:46,029 will be. 129 00:07:47,709 --> 00:07:53,189 I'm going to preach concerning what we call, and the Bible would 130 00:07:53,189 --> 00:07:58,509 even call it this, the Spirit filled life. 131 00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:01,719 The Spirit filled life. 132 00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:03,679 Now I know where I'm standing. 133 00:08:03,679 --> 00:08:04,999 I know what kind of church I'm in. 134 00:08:04,999 --> 00:08:07,559 This is the kind of churches I hang out with and so on. 135 00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:09,079 And here's the deal. 136 00:08:09,479 --> 00:08:11,799 We believe in the Spirit filled life. 137 00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:13,319 Okay? 138 00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:14,279 Seven of you do. 139 00:08:14,279 --> 00:08:14,839 That's good. 140 00:08:15,159 --> 00:08:18,039 So we believe in the Spirit filled life. 141 00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:20,639 We know it's in the Bible that's there. 142 00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:22,519 We're supposed to be spirit filled. 143 00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:23,079 We know that. 144 00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:24,999 We believe in it. 145 00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:28,959 We just don't talk about it. 146 00:08:33,439 --> 00:08:34,239 I'm serious. 147 00:08:35,199 --> 00:08:38,159 I would be totally surprised if there's. 148 00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:41,678 If it happened to one of you, just one person in this room. 149 00:08:42,239 --> 00:08:46,039 But I'm pretty sure it's not happened to any of you that you've 150 00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:51,119 had somebody walk up to you, look you in the eyeball and ask you 151 00:08:51,119 --> 00:08:51,679 this question. 152 00:08:53,329 --> 00:08:53,569 Are. 153 00:08:53,569 --> 00:08:55,809 Are you spirit filled right now? 154 00:08:57,489 --> 00:09:00,649 I'm pretty sure no one's asked you that question that second half 155 00:09:00,649 --> 00:09:01,089 of that. 156 00:09:01,089 --> 00:09:03,169 You've not asked anybody that question either. 157 00:09:04,209 --> 00:09:08,409 In some ways, if someone were to ask us if we were spirit filled, 158 00:09:08,409 --> 00:09:11,569 we would be going, hey, that's a little personal, don't you think? 159 00:09:11,969 --> 00:09:15,089 Back off a little or we might even do this. 160 00:09:17,089 --> 00:09:23,659 Well, Yeah, yeah, I am. 161 00:09:26,779 --> 00:09:27,979 And then they go, how do you know? 162 00:09:27,979 --> 00:09:31,419 You go, there you go again, being a little personal, aren't you? 163 00:09:33,819 --> 00:09:36,299 So are you spirit filled right now? 164 00:09:36,619 --> 00:09:37,419 And I don't. 165 00:09:41,739 --> 00:09:43,979 I just know this about us. 166 00:09:45,779 --> 00:09:49,139 We believe we should be and we could be. 167 00:09:50,499 --> 00:09:52,659 But if we say yes, then we're bragging. 168 00:09:52,659 --> 00:09:54,419 So maybe I shouldn't say yes. 169 00:09:54,419 --> 00:09:58,579 But is it in the Bible or not? 170 00:09:58,659 --> 00:09:59,459 And it is. 171 00:10:00,819 --> 00:10:01,699 If you'll come. 172 00:10:01,699 --> 00:10:04,099 I already know some of you are not going to come tonight. 173 00:10:04,099 --> 00:10:05,699 You're not going to come Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. 174 00:10:05,699 --> 00:10:06,459 I already know that. 175 00:10:06,459 --> 00:10:07,939 I've been in church my whole life. 176 00:10:09,139 --> 00:10:12,939 But if you will come, I will promise you when Wednesday night 177 00:10:12,939 --> 00:10:16,219 is done, you will have an awareness. 178 00:10:16,299 --> 00:10:17,739 If you are or not. 179 00:10:18,219 --> 00:10:21,099 You will know when you are and when you're not. 180 00:10:21,819 --> 00:10:27,259 And you will know how to be how to come about to be spirit filled. 181 00:10:28,699 --> 00:10:31,339 So since some of you are in your little tiny brain right now, 182 00:10:31,339 --> 00:10:35,899 are going, all right, when I got saved, I got the Holy Spirit. 183 00:10:36,059 --> 00:10:37,659 I'm spirit filled ever since. 184 00:10:38,519 --> 00:10:41,159 If that's what you believe, then you're missing out what the 185 00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:44,999 Bible says because the Bible gives instructions to be spirit filled 186 00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:46,279 to believers. 187 00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:49,959 So the Bible would not give the instruction to be spirit filled 188 00:10:50,199 --> 00:10:51,879 if you're always spirit filled. 189 00:10:53,479 --> 00:10:56,999 So duh, you need to come to the services. 190 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,399 You say, well I can't come. 191 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:00,439 Well why? 192 00:11:01,239 --> 00:11:02,439 Well I'll be in the hospital. 193 00:11:02,759 --> 00:11:03,399 Good reason. 194 00:11:07,179 --> 00:11:08,979 You say, well I can't get there at seven o'. 195 00:11:08,979 --> 00:11:09,259 Clock. 196 00:11:09,259 --> 00:11:11,019 I wouldn't be able to get there till eight. 197 00:11:11,019 --> 00:11:12,339 I'll still be preaching. 198 00:11:12,339 --> 00:11:13,019 Come at eight. 199 00:11:16,299 --> 00:11:18,419 Come when you can, just come when you can. 200 00:11:18,419 --> 00:11:20,379 He said, well I can't stay till 8:30. 201 00:11:21,019 --> 00:11:22,539 Well leave when you have to. 202 00:11:23,019 --> 00:11:26,459 It's okay you and God know about that. 203 00:11:26,459 --> 00:11:29,179 But just don't pass it off as if it's unimportant. 204 00:11:30,479 --> 00:11:30,959 Already know. 205 00:11:30,959 --> 00:11:32,319 I've been in church my whole life. 206 00:11:32,479 --> 00:11:34,039 Some of you go, oh I'm not coming. 207 00:11:34,039 --> 00:11:35,119 I don't care what you say. 208 00:11:36,239 --> 00:11:39,599 Well if you're born again, you're supposed to be saved. 209 00:11:39,599 --> 00:11:40,959 The Holy Spirit lives in you. 210 00:11:40,959 --> 00:11:42,599 You're supposed to be spirit filled. 211 00:11:42,599 --> 00:11:47,319 And if you have zero interest in being spirit filled, you might 212 00:11:47,319 --> 00:11:49,359 check whether or not you're really saved or not. 213 00:11:50,479 --> 00:11:52,839 Sorry, I just think it's all real. 214 00:11:52,839 --> 00:11:53,999 I don't think it's make believe. 215 00:11:54,969 --> 00:11:56,169 I think the Bible is real. 216 00:11:56,169 --> 00:11:58,089 What God is doing in us is true. 217 00:11:58,409 --> 00:12:00,809 I don't think it's make believe we should want. 218 00:12:00,809 --> 00:12:03,449 We should be hungry to know about it. 219 00:12:05,689 --> 00:12:09,569 It's been two and a half years ago that God introduced me to this 220 00:12:09,569 --> 00:12:13,769 spirit filled life where I can talk about it and preach about it. 221 00:12:14,809 --> 00:12:17,689 I'll just go ahead and tell you my I'm going to give my testimony 222 00:12:18,089 --> 00:12:19,529 Tuesday night about it. 223 00:12:20,739 --> 00:12:22,539 But my Christian life has been like this. 224 00:12:22,539 --> 00:12:24,019 Spirit filled, not spirit filled. 225 00:12:24,179 --> 00:12:27,299 Maybe spirit filled, I don't know, maybe not spirit filled my 226 00:12:27,299 --> 00:12:30,739 Christian life and I've spent more time not spirit filled than 227 00:12:30,739 --> 00:12:31,699 I have spirit filled. 228 00:12:32,579 --> 00:12:34,419 I'm ashamed, I'm embarrassed about it. 229 00:12:34,659 --> 00:12:37,739 But now at least I have a handle on it to know whether or not 230 00:12:37,739 --> 00:12:38,259 I am. 231 00:12:39,139 --> 00:12:42,899 I have an idea and an awareness about it and I want so 232 00:12:42,899 --> 00:12:44,979 badly want to teach it and preach it to you. 233 00:12:45,379 --> 00:12:48,339 I hope that you'll make every effort to be here for the services 234 00:12:50,379 --> 00:12:53,579 Last night I told Pastor Weatherby what I was going to preach. 235 00:12:53,579 --> 00:12:55,419 And he goes, that's the key. 236 00:12:55,819 --> 00:12:57,019 That's the key to everything. 237 00:12:57,739 --> 00:12:58,859 And it truly is. 238 00:13:00,299 --> 00:13:01,739 You got marital problems. 239 00:13:01,979 --> 00:13:02,779 It's the key. 240 00:13:02,779 --> 00:13:04,779 You got kid problems, it's the key. 241 00:13:04,938 --> 00:13:07,179 You got church problems, it's the key. 242 00:13:08,059 --> 00:13:09,179 It's the key to everything. 243 00:13:10,539 --> 00:13:12,619 It changes everything in her life. 244 00:13:13,579 --> 00:13:15,829 All right, I need to get to preaching. 245 00:13:17,189 --> 00:13:23,109 I haven't been preaching yet, so if you're able, would you stand 246 00:13:23,109 --> 00:13:23,869 with me, please? 247 00:13:23,869 --> 00:13:25,589 I hope you have Psalm 139. 248 00:13:34,229 --> 00:13:35,909 I do ask people to stand. 249 00:13:35,989 --> 00:13:39,189 I've been doing that for now, 40 years. 250 00:13:39,429 --> 00:13:39,909 Wow. 251 00:13:41,339 --> 00:13:46,219 I ask you to stand to remind you and me that we all should give 252 00:13:46,219 --> 00:13:51,259 reverence to the eternal infallible, inerrant. 253 00:13:51,659 --> 00:13:55,419 It's the perfect preserved word of the living God. 254 00:13:55,659 --> 00:13:58,539 You're giving honor to this book, not to me. 255 00:13:58,699 --> 00:14:03,739 But I think we should just honor this as much more than we do 256 00:14:03,739 --> 00:14:04,539 our flag. 257 00:14:04,939 --> 00:14:07,019 I'm grateful for God's word. 258 00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:10,269 All right, then you have Psalm 139. 259 00:14:10,269 --> 00:14:11,349 Just hang on just a second. 260 00:14:11,349 --> 00:14:12,829 I want to read two verses to you. 261 00:14:12,829 --> 00:14:17,189 I'm going to read pieces of three verses to you out of Genesis. 262 00:14:17,189 --> 00:14:18,149 Just listen to it. 263 00:14:20,949 --> 00:14:28,869 And God said, let us make man in our image. 264 00:14:31,189 --> 00:14:38,349 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created 265 00:14:38,349 --> 00:14:38,909 He him. 266 00:14:39,469 --> 00:14:43,069 Male and female created he them. 267 00:14:44,669 --> 00:14:48,749 And God saw everything that he had made. 268 00:14:50,589 --> 00:14:54,829 And behold, it was very good. 269 00:14:56,349 --> 00:15:00,279 Look at Psalm 139 now, verse 14. 270 00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:06,199 I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 271 00:15:06,679 --> 00:15:10,519 Marvelous are thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well. 272 00:15:10,999 --> 00:15:16,359 My substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret and 273 00:15:16,359 --> 00:15:19,639 curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 274 00:15:19,719 --> 00:15:20,359 Look up here. 275 00:15:20,359 --> 00:15:21,639 Let me talk about that a second. 276 00:15:22,679 --> 00:15:25,959 When it says that we were not hid from him, curiously wrought in 277 00:15:25,959 --> 00:15:27,159 the lowest parts of the earth. 278 00:15:27,819 --> 00:15:31,899 All commentators, all scientists, theologians would say, 279 00:15:32,299 --> 00:15:36,699 this is speaking of the moment of conception. 280 00:15:37,579 --> 00:15:42,299 At the moment of conception, God was involved in it. 281 00:15:42,779 --> 00:15:43,819 He was there. 282 00:15:44,539 --> 00:15:47,899 He's the one that fearfully and wonderfully made us. 283 00:15:48,139 --> 00:15:49,579 It's a hallelujah. 284 00:15:50,059 --> 00:15:52,019 Listen to what Jesus said to Nicodemus. 285 00:15:52,019 --> 00:15:52,699 Just listen. 286 00:15:52,779 --> 00:15:55,179 Jesus said to Nicodemus, he says, hey, hey, hey. 287 00:15:55,439 --> 00:15:57,679 That which is born of flesh is flesh. 288 00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:01,199 That which is born of a spirit is spirit. 289 00:16:02,719 --> 00:16:04,159 Evidently there's a difference. 290 00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:09,239 Just because I'm the preacher and I want to say it, I'm going to 291 00:16:09,239 --> 00:16:11,439 quote to you a verse from Romance. 292 00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:13,119 Listen to this verse. 293 00:16:14,719 --> 00:16:19,839 Nay, but O man, who art thou that replies against God? 294 00:16:22,089 --> 00:16:23,769 For shall the thing Formed. 295 00:16:24,249 --> 00:16:30,089 Say to him that formed it, why hast thou made me thus? 296 00:16:33,449 --> 00:16:34,889 Oh, it's so true. 297 00:16:35,769 --> 00:16:37,889 There's no humans in this room. 298 00:16:37,889 --> 00:16:42,409 There's no humans on the planet that go, he made me perfect. 299 00:16:43,049 --> 00:16:44,169 I'm awesome. 300 00:16:44,409 --> 00:16:47,209 I can't believe everything about me is perfect. 301 00:16:48,299 --> 00:16:48,539 No. 302 00:16:48,539 --> 00:16:49,939 Some people, their eyebrow. 303 00:16:49,939 --> 00:16:51,899 One's eyebrow's a little taller than the other. 304 00:16:53,019 --> 00:16:55,419 They don't like how their ear is or their chin. 305 00:16:55,419 --> 00:16:56,619 I just hate my chin. 306 00:16:56,619 --> 00:16:57,579 I hate my chin. 307 00:16:58,379 --> 00:16:59,619 Oh, my snails. 308 00:16:59,619 --> 00:17:00,139 If my. 309 00:17:00,219 --> 00:17:01,579 This is such a big thing. 310 00:17:01,579 --> 00:17:02,859 What can I do with this? 311 00:17:03,659 --> 00:17:04,899 I don't like my hair. 312 00:17:04,899 --> 00:17:06,259 My hair is kinky. 313 00:17:06,259 --> 00:17:07,739 I don't like kinky hair. 314 00:17:07,739 --> 00:17:09,099 I don't want straight hair. 315 00:17:09,099 --> 00:17:10,219 I hate straight hair. 316 00:17:10,219 --> 00:17:11,179 I wish I had some. 317 00:17:11,659 --> 00:17:13,099 I wish I had some hair. 318 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:16,319 People. 319 00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:17,839 There's nobody. 320 00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:21,039 Even the most beautiful people on the planet get airbrushed. 321 00:17:23,439 --> 00:17:26,799 And it's amazing how many of us know what airbrushed is. 322 00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:30,479 Everybody would change something. 323 00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:33,439 God changed my Life. 324 00:17:33,439 --> 00:17:35,519 I was 22 or 23. 325 00:17:35,679 --> 00:17:39,279 I met a man that said, if you're not happy with how God met 326 00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:42,999 you, how God made you, if you're still disappointed with how 327 00:17:42,999 --> 00:17:47,319 you look, what family you're in, if you're still disappointed 328 00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:53,719 with how he made you, you will never be totally right with God until 329 00:17:53,719 --> 00:17:55,199 you can tell God, thank you. 330 00:17:56,399 --> 00:17:57,919 You're the one that made me thus. 331 00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:05,769 I was born with what street name is called the hair lip, cleft 332 00:18:05,769 --> 00:18:07,209 lip, and a cleft palate. 333 00:18:07,369 --> 00:18:11,369 And I was made fun of as a child in high school and junior high 334 00:18:11,369 --> 00:18:11,929 and so on. 335 00:18:11,929 --> 00:18:15,609 But I didn't like how I was made. 336 00:18:15,769 --> 00:18:18,249 I've got five brothers, and none of them got my problem. 337 00:18:19,449 --> 00:18:20,689 I thought, God, they should. 338 00:18:20,689 --> 00:18:21,649 He's the weirdo. 339 00:18:21,649 --> 00:18:24,169 He's the one that should be looking like this, not me. 340 00:18:25,849 --> 00:18:28,649 And I finally got to the place where I said, God, thank you. 341 00:18:30,409 --> 00:18:32,799 You made me this way. 342 00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:39,279 I say, when I was in my mother's womb, God came down and 343 00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:43,759 took his finger and touched me right underneath the nose. 344 00:18:46,479 --> 00:18:47,758 And he made me special. 345 00:18:50,479 --> 00:18:51,079 Let's pray. 346 00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:52,519 Our great God, I sure love you. 347 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:52,919 Thank you. 348 00:18:52,919 --> 00:18:53,759 That you love me. 349 00:18:53,759 --> 00:18:54,559 You love us. 350 00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:56,199 Thank you. 351 00:18:56,199 --> 00:18:58,239 That you prove that you love us. 352 00:18:59,429 --> 00:19:01,109 I pray we'd accept that. 353 00:19:01,109 --> 00:19:02,069 Acknowledge it. 354 00:19:03,749 --> 00:19:06,949 God, you know all about what's going on at Heritage Baptist Church. 355 00:19:12,069 --> 00:19:16,229 You also know that it's been on the schedule for me to come for 356 00:19:16,229 --> 00:19:17,349 almost three years. 357 00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:22,069 And you knew how things were going to be. 358 00:19:22,069 --> 00:19:24,389 You knew what you were going to be doing in my life. 359 00:19:25,979 --> 00:19:27,979 This is not surprising to you. 360 00:19:30,059 --> 00:19:31,579 I believe you've ordered It. 361 00:19:31,739 --> 00:19:35,859 And I pray that you give me unction and power to proclaim, to 362 00:19:35,859 --> 00:19:40,539 teach, to preach your word and that we would be willing receivers 363 00:19:40,698 --> 00:19:42,379 and willing hearers. 364 00:19:44,379 --> 00:19:46,779 And we'll yield to whatever you have for us. 365 00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:49,659 If someone's not yet born again, they're not saved. 366 00:19:51,069 --> 00:19:52,429 Well, you knew about that too. 367 00:19:54,989 --> 00:19:59,149 So I want to tell you, thank you that you've given these folks 368 00:19:59,149 --> 00:20:01,469 another opportunity to be forgiven. 369 00:20:02,269 --> 00:20:04,269 I pray they would even want to do that today. 370 00:20:05,229 --> 00:20:06,589 So we sure love you, Jesus. 371 00:20:07,309 --> 00:20:08,669 Can't wait to see you. 372 00:20:08,989 --> 00:20:11,389 It's in your mighty and holy name we pray. 373 00:20:11,629 --> 00:20:12,269 Amen. 374 00:20:12,349 --> 00:20:12,829 Amen. 375 00:20:12,829 --> 00:20:13,629 You may be seated. 376 00:20:14,429 --> 00:20:16,669 Well, it's obvious God's the creator. 377 00:20:18,179 --> 00:20:20,099 He made us. 378 00:20:20,739 --> 00:20:23,219 He is the giver of life. 379 00:20:24,419 --> 00:20:27,859 It's also true we're all unique. 380 00:20:28,659 --> 00:20:31,299 There's nobody just alike. 381 00:20:31,299 --> 00:20:35,299 Even identical twins are not 100% alike. 382 00:20:36,179 --> 00:20:37,539 We're all unique. 383 00:20:37,619 --> 00:20:38,419 We're different. 384 00:20:39,299 --> 00:20:43,779 We have different fingerprints, different DNA. 385 00:20:45,379 --> 00:20:50,019 We have the retina thingy and the eyeball is different. 386 00:20:50,899 --> 00:20:53,459 And all of us, we're unique. 387 00:20:54,419 --> 00:20:56,419 Our makeup is different. 388 00:20:57,139 --> 00:21:00,099 Some people are left brained, some people are right brained. 389 00:21:00,499 --> 00:21:03,899 Some people have a tendency toward music and they just have the 390 00:21:03,899 --> 00:21:04,819 ability to. 391 00:21:05,139 --> 00:21:06,819 It just is part of them. 392 00:21:07,219 --> 00:21:09,299 It just is amazing to me. 393 00:21:09,299 --> 00:21:12,219 You get a six year old, a five year old to sit down at the piano 394 00:21:12,219 --> 00:21:15,129 and they start, start actually playing a tune. 395 00:21:15,529 --> 00:21:16,489 What is that about? 396 00:21:17,609 --> 00:21:19,449 That's not fair to anybody. 397 00:21:20,729 --> 00:21:25,049 Little goobers, they don't even know what they're doing and 398 00:21:25,049 --> 00:21:26,529 yet they have this ability. 399 00:21:26,529 --> 00:21:30,249 Then others of you have a tendency toward music that you didn't, 400 00:21:30,249 --> 00:21:34,729 you weren't, you know, like a savant, but you grew into it and 401 00:21:35,449 --> 00:21:40,909 you've worked hard and you prepare, you practice and you get 402 00:21:40,909 --> 00:21:42,469 to enjoy the blessing of music. 403 00:21:42,949 --> 00:21:47,429 Whether it be a instrument, whatever that is, or singing, it's 404 00:21:47,429 --> 00:21:48,149 a blessing. 405 00:21:49,029 --> 00:21:54,309 Some people are gifted to sing it and love to do it. 406 00:21:54,309 --> 00:21:57,269 Other people are not gifted to sing it, but we love to hear it. 407 00:21:58,789 --> 00:21:59,909 We're all unique. 408 00:21:59,989 --> 00:22:00,629 We're different. 409 00:22:01,189 --> 00:22:03,029 Some people are very good with numbers. 410 00:22:03,669 --> 00:22:06,589 Just give them the numbers and the numbers come together and they 411 00:22:06,589 --> 00:22:07,349 get it all together. 412 00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:09,999 Some people are very good in athletics. 413 00:22:09,999 --> 00:22:11,079 Some people are good at building. 414 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,159 You give them some wood and saw and nails and stuff and they 415 00:22:15,159 --> 00:22:17,959 can put stuff together and you go, how do you know how to do that? 416 00:22:17,959 --> 00:22:21,479 This pulpit being built, how do they do that? 417 00:22:21,479 --> 00:22:21,959 You know? 418 00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:25,999 Well, they learned and all that stuff, but my dad's a carpenter, 419 00:22:25,999 --> 00:22:27,799 but I never could do any of this stuff. 420 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,599 I could tear up stuff, but I don't build Anything. 421 00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:34,039 Some people are very good mechanically. 422 00:22:34,039 --> 00:22:35,839 They don't even have to do the book work. 423 00:22:35,839 --> 00:22:36,839 They just know it. 424 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,799 I just met a guy that works for an airplane company. 425 00:22:40,959 --> 00:22:46,319 He's never had education from college or high school, but he is 426 00:22:46,319 --> 00:22:51,239 in charge of all the upkeep of the airplane motors and engines and 427 00:22:51,239 --> 00:22:51,599 stuff. 428 00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:52,559 It's incredible. 429 00:22:53,519 --> 00:22:55,439 Some people are just gifted like that. 430 00:22:55,679 --> 00:22:56,799 Some are gifted. 431 00:22:56,959 --> 00:22:58,879 Whether you're saved or not, it doesn't matter. 432 00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:00,959 Everybody's born. 433 00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:04,749 Listen with natural gifts and abilities. 434 00:23:05,789 --> 00:23:06,749 Everybody has them. 435 00:23:06,749 --> 00:23:09,269 And since I'm talking about it, we might as well do it now. 436 00:23:09,269 --> 00:23:14,989 Is that God created all humanity, all of mankind. 437 00:23:15,229 --> 00:23:18,909 He created us to bring him glory. 438 00:23:20,269 --> 00:23:21,709 Isaiah speaks of that. 439 00:23:21,789 --> 00:23:23,389 We're all humanity. 440 00:23:23,389 --> 00:23:24,109 When you're. 441 00:23:24,109 --> 00:23:26,909 When that baby comes here, they're supposed to. 442 00:23:27,389 --> 00:23:31,569 What the goal was, was them to bring glory to God also. 443 00:23:31,729 --> 00:23:34,529 God created us to fellowship with Him. 444 00:23:35,729 --> 00:23:41,009 He wanted fellowship with us not because he needs it, but that's 445 00:23:41,009 --> 00:23:42,249 how he made us. 446 00:23:42,249 --> 00:23:47,649 That we would bring him glory and we would like communicate, talk 447 00:23:48,289 --> 00:23:49,569 fellowship with God. 448 00:23:49,729 --> 00:23:53,569 It's incredible that God made you for those reasons. 449 00:23:54,449 --> 00:23:54,929 Wow. 450 00:23:56,939 --> 00:24:01,539 This God given talent, abilities and personalities that 451 00:24:01,539 --> 00:24:02,059 we have. 452 00:24:04,219 --> 00:24:05,419 So here's a. 453 00:24:05,659 --> 00:24:07,099 This is a little illustration. 454 00:24:08,619 --> 00:24:09,259 How do we. 455 00:24:09,259 --> 00:24:10,699 How do we have worth? 456 00:24:13,019 --> 00:24:15,619 How does a natural human have worth? 457 00:24:15,619 --> 00:24:16,539 How do we have value? 458 00:24:18,459 --> 00:24:23,179 So if there were a workbench up here and there were a hammer on 459 00:24:23,179 --> 00:24:27,889 the workbench and someone came along and picked up the hammer and 460 00:24:28,049 --> 00:24:35,089 built a widow a home, that hammer would have great value. 461 00:24:36,209 --> 00:24:40,569 Someone else came along and picked up the hammer and bashed somebody's 462 00:24:40,569 --> 00:24:41,089 head in. 463 00:24:42,369 --> 00:24:43,649 Not the same kind of value. 464 00:24:44,529 --> 00:24:46,289 Depends on whose hand it's in. 465 00:24:47,089 --> 00:24:48,929 Depends on who the Source is. 466 00:24:50,649 --> 00:24:58,169 When we as humans, what our source is, do we bring glory to God, 467 00:24:58,889 --> 00:25:04,489 that's why he created us, or do we ignore him and not bring glory 468 00:25:04,489 --> 00:25:04,969 to Him? 469 00:25:07,689 --> 00:25:09,529 Depends on who the source is. 470 00:25:10,649 --> 00:25:11,049 Who. 471 00:25:11,289 --> 00:25:12,729 Whose hand we're in. 472 00:25:14,009 --> 00:25:14,649 So let's. 473 00:25:14,979 --> 00:25:15,939 I want to work on that. 474 00:25:16,819 --> 00:25:22,939 All humanity starts off with this unique natural self gifts, talents 475 00:25:22,939 --> 00:25:25,699 and abilities that are God given. 476 00:25:28,579 --> 00:25:36,979 But in this natural condition we're under the control of what the 477 00:25:36,979 --> 00:25:43,209 Bible, how we would define it Anyway, all of natural humans, we 478 00:25:43,209 --> 00:25:48,329 are born with the Adam nature. 479 00:25:49,209 --> 00:25:50,009 Adam. 480 00:25:50,249 --> 00:25:51,369 The Adam nature. 481 00:25:51,369 --> 00:25:51,929 Amen. 482 00:25:52,729 --> 00:25:53,649 What does that mean? 483 00:25:53,649 --> 00:25:55,209 Well, we're all born sinners. 484 00:25:57,289 --> 00:25:57,929 Amen. 485 00:25:58,489 --> 00:25:59,449 So here's. 486 00:25:59,449 --> 00:26:04,169 If you want to sound more intellectual and theological, here's 487 00:26:04,169 --> 00:26:04,969 how to say it. 488 00:26:05,289 --> 00:26:10,219 All humans, naturally we are born with the Adamic nature. 489 00:26:11,979 --> 00:26:13,499 Doesn't that sound intellectual to you? 490 00:26:13,499 --> 00:26:14,299 It does to me. 491 00:26:15,259 --> 00:26:17,579 We're all born with the Adamic nature. 492 00:26:17,739 --> 00:26:20,619 And that's the condition that all. 493 00:26:22,059 --> 00:26:27,179 All humans, every child born, is born with the Adamic nature. 494 00:26:27,899 --> 00:26:29,659 The Bible says we're all sinners. 495 00:26:30,139 --> 00:26:30,779 Amen. 496 00:26:31,819 --> 00:26:37,579 So we get that in our head when Jesus said, that which is born 497 00:26:37,579 --> 00:26:38,899 of flesh is flesh. 498 00:26:39,299 --> 00:26:42,299 That's what he's talking about, the Adamic nature. 499 00:26:42,299 --> 00:26:45,219 That's the condition we are born in. 500 00:26:46,259 --> 00:26:48,139 In fact, the Bible even says it like this. 501 00:26:48,139 --> 00:26:52,899 We're born dead in trespasses and sins. 502 00:26:53,619 --> 00:26:54,019 What? 503 00:26:54,899 --> 00:26:57,859 Some of you can remember back to Genesis, when God said, the day 504 00:26:57,859 --> 00:27:01,389 thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die. 505 00:27:02,349 --> 00:27:03,989 Did Adam and Eve eat the fruit? 506 00:27:03,989 --> 00:27:04,349 Yeah. 507 00:27:04,349 --> 00:27:05,949 Did they fall down dead on the ground? 508 00:27:06,029 --> 00:27:06,429 No. 509 00:27:06,909 --> 00:27:07,789 Did they die? 510 00:27:08,189 --> 00:27:08,749 Yes. 511 00:27:09,549 --> 00:27:10,429 What does that mean? 512 00:27:11,469 --> 00:27:17,549 That's why Jesus told Nicodemus, ye must be born again. 513 00:27:18,589 --> 00:27:21,149 Because all humans are born naturally. 514 00:27:21,229 --> 00:27:21,629 Look. 515 00:27:22,189 --> 00:27:24,109 Body, soul. 516 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:26,839 And dead. 517 00:27:26,919 --> 00:27:29,479 Spiritually dead spirit. 518 00:27:29,959 --> 00:27:34,439 When a person is born again, dead, they don't get born again. 519 00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:40,439 Their flesh, their dead spirit is revived, is made alive. 520 00:27:40,519 --> 00:27:42,159 That which was dead is now alive. 521 00:27:42,159 --> 00:27:42,999 Is everybody with me? 522 00:27:43,159 --> 00:27:45,159 That which was born of flesh is flesh. 523 00:27:45,319 --> 00:27:47,639 That which was born of spirit is spirit. 524 00:27:48,999 --> 00:27:49,639 So all. 525 00:27:49,879 --> 00:27:54,099 All of us start off same, same natural, unique self. 526 00:27:54,739 --> 00:27:58,299 Oh, we've got talents, gifts and abilities, but we're born dead 527 00:27:58,299 --> 00:27:58,899 spiritually. 528 00:27:58,979 --> 00:27:59,379 Watch. 529 00:27:59,379 --> 00:28:02,179 That means we have no access to God. 530 00:28:03,219 --> 00:28:04,819 We can't fellowship with him. 531 00:28:05,139 --> 00:28:05,539 Why? 532 00:28:05,939 --> 00:28:08,739 Because that which is holy does not fellowship with that which 533 00:28:08,819 --> 00:28:09,859 is unholy. 534 00:28:11,139 --> 00:28:12,099 He's holy. 535 00:28:12,419 --> 00:28:13,059 You're not. 536 00:28:14,099 --> 00:28:14,739 Amen. 537 00:28:15,859 --> 00:28:17,619 So that's why ye must. 538 00:28:17,699 --> 00:28:19,939 Jesus said, be born, born again. 539 00:28:20,099 --> 00:28:23,379 Your dead spirit needs to be regenerated, made alive. 540 00:28:24,339 --> 00:28:25,139 Wowzer. 541 00:28:25,779 --> 00:28:31,779 All right, so we didn't do it. 542 00:28:31,779 --> 00:28:32,979 Turn to Romans 8. 543 00:28:37,779 --> 00:28:42,019 Let me show you verse 7. 544 00:28:45,469 --> 00:28:51,149 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God for it. 545 00:28:51,229 --> 00:28:54,469 The carnal mind is not subject to the law of God. 546 00:28:54,469 --> 00:28:55,629 Neither indeed can be. 547 00:28:55,629 --> 00:28:56,669 Uh oh, look up here. 548 00:28:57,469 --> 00:29:03,309 All of us that are born, humans, mankind, natural man, Adamic 549 00:29:03,309 --> 00:29:05,629 nature, were born dead spiritually. 550 00:29:06,029 --> 00:29:11,469 And so we have this natural Adamic brain, this carnal mind. 551 00:29:11,469 --> 00:29:12,419 The Bible says the. 552 00:29:12,489 --> 00:29:15,449 The carnal mind is not subject to the law of God. 553 00:29:15,609 --> 00:29:19,529 The carnal mind does not want to do what God wants it to do. 554 00:29:20,409 --> 00:29:23,209 And then the Bible says this word, neither indeed can be. 555 00:29:23,369 --> 00:29:26,009 It can't even do that if it wants to do it. 556 00:29:26,969 --> 00:29:28,089 That's what the Bible says. 557 00:29:28,089 --> 00:29:31,449 All right, we're coming right back to Romans, but go to 1 Corinthians. 558 00:29:31,449 --> 00:29:32,969 It's a book right after Romans. 559 00:29:33,289 --> 00:29:35,289 Look at 1 Corinthians, chapter two. 560 00:29:40,739 --> 00:29:43,219 It's a blessing to hear pages of The Bible turned. 561 00:29:45,939 --> 00:29:48,579 Preachers that preach the Bible love to hear that sound. 562 00:29:49,219 --> 00:29:51,139 Preachers that don't preach the Bible, they don't care. 563 00:29:51,939 --> 00:29:54,899 But us that preach the Bible, we love to hear it. 564 00:29:54,899 --> 00:29:57,219 Now, I know, I know some of you use your phone, whatever. 565 00:29:59,299 --> 00:30:07,379 Why don't you invent an app that goes verse 14, 2, 14 of 1 Corinthians. 566 00:30:07,539 --> 00:30:08,899 The natural man. 567 00:30:08,899 --> 00:30:09,539 Whoo. 568 00:30:09,699 --> 00:30:10,659 There he is again. 569 00:30:10,659 --> 00:30:14,179 The natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God, 570 00:30:14,819 --> 00:30:16,619 for they are foolishness unto him. 571 00:30:16,619 --> 00:30:19,939 Neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 572 00:30:20,899 --> 00:30:21,379 Wow. 573 00:30:21,459 --> 00:30:23,259 Since we're still in Corinthians, let's do this. 574 00:30:23,259 --> 00:30:24,339 Let's go to chapter 15. 575 00:30:25,219 --> 00:30:29,619 Chapter 15, 1 Corinthians 15. 576 00:30:33,549 --> 00:30:38,869 If you and I will be willing to acknowledge and accept what the 577 00:30:38,869 --> 00:30:43,949 Bible says, that all mankind is born dead in sin. 578 00:30:44,429 --> 00:30:46,109 We're born dead spiritually. 579 00:30:46,909 --> 00:30:48,869 We're born with the Adamic nature. 580 00:30:48,869 --> 00:30:50,189 We're all born sinners. 581 00:30:51,629 --> 00:30:55,349 If we will accept that and acknowledge that what it says, that's 582 00:30:55,349 --> 00:30:56,989 why Jesus said, you must be born again. 583 00:30:58,329 --> 00:31:02,009 It will help unfold this idea of the spirit filled life. 584 00:31:02,329 --> 00:31:06,889 Look at chapter 15 of Corinthians, verse 44. 585 00:31:07,609 --> 00:31:09,049 Just going to jump in here. 586 00:31:09,049 --> 00:31:09,729 It's all good. 587

00:31:16,569 It is sown a natural body. 591 00:31:17,209 --> 00:31:20,089 It is raised a spiritual body. 592 00:31:20,649 --> 00:31:25,749 Oh, there is a natural body and there is a spiritual body. 593 00:31:25,829 --> 00:31:26,789 Look up here, let me. 594 00:31:26,869 --> 00:31:27,469 I love it. 595 00:31:27,469 --> 00:31:27,949 I love it. 596 00:31:27,949 --> 00:31:30,789 When the Bible is easy and real simple. 597 00:31:30,789 --> 00:31:31,509 Here we go. 598 00:31:32,229 --> 00:31:33,669 There is a natural body. 599 00:31:34,309 --> 00:31:35,189 Say amen. 600 00:31:35,829 --> 00:31:37,669 And there is a spiritual body. 601 00:31:38,789 --> 00:31:39,589 Pretty easy. 602 00:31:39,989 --> 00:31:40,949 Verse 45. 603 00:31:41,989 --> 00:31:43,109 And so it is written. 604 00:31:43,189 --> 00:31:47,829 The first man Adam was made a living soul. 605 00:31:48,549 --> 00:31:52,669 The last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 606 00:31:52,829 --> 00:31:54,349 All right, let's talk about that a second. 607 00:31:54,669 --> 00:31:55,629 The first Adam. 608 00:31:55,629 --> 00:32:00,469 We know that from Genesis that God came down to the earth and God 609 00:32:00,469 --> 00:32:04,669 took dirt and he formed man out of the dust of the ground. 610 00:32:04,909 --> 00:32:13,149 And man stood there like a wax figure until God breathed his own 611 00:32:13,149 --> 00:32:18,519 breath into Adam and he was made living soul. 612 00:32:18,519 --> 00:32:19,119 Amen. 613 00:32:19,999 --> 00:32:20,719 Mercy. 614 00:32:23,839 --> 00:32:26,799 And it says the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 615 00:32:27,039 --> 00:32:28,719 Well, who is the last Adam? 616 00:32:28,879 --> 00:32:31,279 Because we got a bunch of theologians in here already know 617 00:32:31,279 --> 00:32:33,679 you know, but let's pretend like we don't know. 618 00:32:33,999 --> 00:32:38,119 The last Adam was made a spirit, quickening spirit. 619 00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:39,679 Okay, I believe you. 620 00:32:39,679 --> 00:32:41,439 I don't know who he is, but I believe you. 621 00:32:41,919 --> 00:32:43,949 Okay, next verse 46. 622 00:32:45,389 --> 00:32:50,869 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which 623 00:32:50,869 --> 00:32:51,629 is natural. 624 00:32:52,349 --> 00:32:55,789 And afterward, that which is spiritual. 625 00:32:56,189 --> 00:32:56,909 So here we go again. 626 00:32:56,909 --> 00:32:57,789 It's real easy. 627 00:32:58,909 --> 00:33:00,509 The spiritual was not first. 628 00:33:01,789 --> 00:33:03,229 The natural was first. 629 00:33:03,229 --> 00:33:05,229 And afterward was the spiritual. 630 00:33:05,709 --> 00:33:06,669 Verse 47. 631 00:33:06,669 --> 00:33:07,389 Here we go. 632 00:33:08,189 --> 00:33:10,189 The first man is of the earth. 633 00:33:10,909 --> 00:33:11,629 Earthly. 634 00:33:13,159 --> 00:33:13,719 You got it? 635 00:33:14,279 --> 00:33:15,559 Are any of you listening? 636 00:33:15,559 --> 00:33:19,719 The first man is of the earth. 637 00:33:20,039 --> 00:33:21,079 He's earthy. 638 00:33:22,039 --> 00:33:24,279 Why would the Bible say that he's earthy? 639 00:33:24,279 --> 00:33:24,919 Look, look. 640 00:33:30,839 --> 00:33:33,799 Our flesh, our body, was made out of dirt. 641 00:33:35,879 --> 00:33:36,639 Do you know that? 642 00:33:36,639 --> 00:33:42,649 It's absolutely true that if you take a deceased body that's been 643 00:33:42,649 --> 00:33:49,369 out there a while, you take its remains and take it to the scientists 644 00:33:49,609 --> 00:33:54,649 and then go get a shovel of dirt, take it to the scientists and 645 00:33:54,649 --> 00:34:00,129 say, tell me what the particles are, the parts from the 646 00:34:00,129 --> 00:34:04,929 element chart, tell me what's in these and you'll have the exact 647 00:34:04,929 --> 00:34:09,239 same elements from dirt as you do from a human. 648 00:34:10,279 --> 00:34:14,199 Do you know why we were made out of dirt? 649 00:34:15,079 --> 00:34:17,559 So it's absolutely true, whether you want to accept it or 650 00:34:17,559 --> 00:34:17,799 not. 651 00:34:17,879 --> 00:34:18,839 Too bad for you. 652 00:34:18,839 --> 00:34:19,839 It's absolutely true. 653 00:34:19,839 --> 00:34:24,599 The person sitting next to you, behind you, they are a dirtbag. 654 00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:27,559 It's in the Holy Bible. 655 00:34:28,999 --> 00:34:30,279 Look at them in the eyeball. 656 00:34:30,279 --> 00:34:31,079 Dirtbag. 657 00:34:32,929 --> 00:34:33,329 Yeah. 658 00:34:38,529 --> 00:34:46,769 This unique natural self, the Adamic nature, is not in the hand 659 00:34:46,929 --> 00:34:47,729 of God. 660 00:34:49,009 --> 00:34:50,129 It's controlled by. 661 00:34:50,129 --> 00:34:54,609 It's in the hand of what some people have titled the unholy trinity. 662 00:34:55,889 --> 00:34:57,889 The world, the flesh and the devil. 663 00:34:59,299 --> 00:35:05,299 So the activity of the natural Adamic nature is going to come from 664 00:35:06,019 --> 00:35:06,539 the world. 665 00:35:06,539 --> 00:35:07,699 The flesh, the devil. 666 00:35:10,179 --> 00:35:10,739 Hmm. 667 00:35:16,579 --> 00:35:17,979 Why did this baby come? 668 00:35:17,979 --> 00:35:20,139 What was the purpose of mankind being here? 669 00:35:20,139 --> 00:35:25,339 It was supposed to bring glory to God, but because of sin, it's 670 00:35:25,339 --> 00:35:26,899 all been distorted. 671 00:35:26,979 --> 00:35:31,399 And now what was supposed to bring glory to God and even fellowship 672 00:35:31,399 --> 00:35:33,599 with God, now it's all messed up. 673 00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:35,839 And it wants to bring glory to itself. 674 00:35:36,399 --> 00:35:37,999 It wants what it wants. 675 00:35:37,999 --> 00:35:39,959 It has its own desires. 676 00:35:39,959 --> 00:35:41,079 It has no desire. 677 00:35:41,079 --> 00:35:43,599 In fact, it cannot please God. 678 00:35:44,799 --> 00:35:45,639 I didn't write it. 679 00:35:45,639 --> 00:35:47,039 I'm just telling you what the Bible says. 680 00:35:48,159 --> 00:35:48,639 Wow. 681 00:35:49,999 --> 00:35:54,159 So what can we do with that natural man thing? 682 00:35:54,639 -->

you not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ 728 00:37:31,409 --> 00:37:33,249 were baptized into his death. 729 00:37:33,649 --> 00:37:35,249 Let's stop right there and talk about

00:38:20,439 --> 00:38:22,319 Those who are baptized into Jesus Christ. 751 00:38:25,119 --> 00:38:27,319 Do you know what the word baptizing means? 752 00:38:27,319 --> 00:38:29,439 To dip, to plunge, to immerse into. 753 00:38:31,919 --> 00:38:37,089 I got baptized in Wawa in Drake's Creek in Bowling Green, Kentucky. 754 00:38:40,119 --> 00:38:43,399 Well, I got placed into the Wawa. 755

get baptized in banana pudding. 758 00:38:54,919 --> 00:38:56,119 I think it'd be awesome. 759 00:39:01,319 --> 00:39:03,239 Come up with some vanilla wafers on my head. 760 00:39:05,049 -->

00:39:15,129 Placed into. 764 00:39:16,089 --> 00:39:18,849 So when the Bible says, know you not that so many of us as we're 765 00:39:18,849 --> 00:39:21,689 placed into, Baptized into Jesus Christ. 766 00:39:22,569 --> 00:39:23,369 Do you see that? 767 00:39:23,689 --> 00:39:26,249 Well, when does a person get placed into Jesus? 768 00:39:26,249 --> 00:39:26,849 Look up here. 769 00:39:26,849 --> 00:39:27,369 I'll show you. 770 00:39:27,929 --> 00:39:30,729 When a person realizes they're a sinner and they have no access 771 00:39:30,729 --> 00:39:31,369 to God. 772 00:39:31,879 --> 00:39:33,399 But God made a plan. 773 00:39:33,639 --> 00:39:38,439 God made a way that his son Jesus Christ would be the Savior. 774 00:39:39,159 --> 00:39:41,559 And he died on the cross, shed his blood for our sins. 775 00:39:41,559 --> 00:39:43,759 The Bible says he Was buried and rose again the third day. 776 00:39:43,759 --> 00:39:47,559 According to the Scriptures, when a person accepts and acknowledges 777 00:39:47,638 --> 00:39:50,719 believes that Jesus is God's Son and He died for their sin, if 778 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:51,759 they ask him to save him. 779 00:39:51,759 --> 00:39:54,639 Whosoever believeth in him shall not perish when they ask him 780 00:39:54,639 --> 00:39:55,879 to save and believe in him. 781 00:39:55,879 --> 00:39:58,689 The Bible says that that's when they're born again. 782 00:39:59,409 --> 00:40:01,169 Their dead Spirit is made alive. 783 00:40:01,329 --> 00:40:04,129 Not only at the same time were they born again. 784 00:40:04,369 --> 00:40:08,369 The Holy Spirit came and took up residence lives in them. 785 00:40:08,689 --> 00:40:12,529 At the same moment, we were placed into Jesus Christ. 786 00:40:13,969 --> 00:40:20,889

in Christ? 790 00:40:24,829 --> 00:40:28,509 I got in Christ when I asked him to forgive my sin and save me. 791 00:40:28,989 --> 00:40:30,549 I am now baptized. 792 00:40:30,549 --> 00:40:31,469 I'm

destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve 799 00:40:46,229 --> 00:40:46,589 sin. 800 00:40:46,749 --> 00:40:47,949 All right, let's talk about that. 801 00:40:49,159 --> 00:40:51,959 When I got placed into Jesus, I was crucified with him. 802 00:40:52,439 --> 00:40:55,559 Then he says in verse six, knowing this, that our old man. 803 00:40:56,759 --> 00:40:59,639 Our old man's not talking about our dad or your husband. 804 00:41:00,999 --> 00:41:03,319 It's talking about our Adamic nature. 805 00:41:04,759 --> 00:41:11,559 Our old natural, unique self was crucified with him. 806 00:41:12,599 --> 00:41:15,239 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him. 807 00:41:16,099 --> 00:41:16,899 What does that mean? 808 00:41:17,139 --> 00:41:23,379 That means when I got put into Jesus, I get the benefit of his crucifixion. 809 00:41:24,659 --> 00:41:25,459 What do you mean? 810 00:41:25,619 --> 00:41:27,059 Well, he died for my sins. 811 00:41:28,179 --> 00:41:28,979 I'm

--> 00:47:52,139 I fed you with milk, not with meat, for hitherto you were not able 983 00:47:52,139 --> 00:47:52,979 to bear it. 984 00:47:53,299 --> 00:47:57,379 Neither yet now are you able, for you are yet carnal. 985 00:47:58,019 --> 00:48:00,059 Whereas there's among you, here's what. 986 00:48:00,059 --> 00:48:01,539 If you're carnal, here's what happens. 987 00:48:01,539 --> 00:48:04,499 Envying and strife and divisions. 988 00:48:04,499 --> 00:48:06,899 And he goes, are you not carnal and walk as men? 989 00:48:07,459 --> 00:48:10,739 Ladies and gentlemen, when these three ingredients show up, 990 00:48:10,739 --> 00:48:13,579 these three identities, these are not the only ones, but these 991 00:48:13,579 --> 00:48:14,539 are the ones mentioned here. 992 00:48:14,539 --> 00:48:16,019 Envy, strife and divisions. 993 00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:20,959 He says, when that happens, you are carnal and you walk as men. 994 00:48:21,039 --> 00:48:23,439 Why would he say walk as men? 995 00:48:24,159 --> 00:48:27,759 He's saying you're walking as if you're not even saved. 996 00:48:27,839 --> 00:48:30,879 You're walking as if the spirit of God is not even part of 997 00:48:30,879 --> 00:48:31,359 your life. 998 00:48:31,439 --> 00:48:32,639 You walk as men. 999 00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:33,999 You're carnal. 1000 00:48:35,359 --> 00:48:36,479 What is carnal? 1001 00:48:37,759 --> 00:48:38,879 Well, I don't. 1002 00:48:39,359 --> 00:48:40,839 People think I'm bragging and stuff. 1003 00:48:40,839 --> 00:48:41,639 I'm not bragging. 1004 00:48:41,639 --> 00:48:43,279 I do know a little espanol. 1005 00:48:45,809 --> 00:48:48,449 The word carnal in Espanol. 1006 00:48:48,449 --> 00:48:48,929 Bible. 1007 00:48:48,929 --> 00:48:52,449 Oh, biblio, something like that. 1008 00:48:52,609 --> 00:48:56,369 The word carnal is the word flesh. 1009 00:49:00,529 --> 00:49:03,569 My favorite flesh is cow flesh. 1010 00:49:04,929 --> 00:49:05,729 I like it. 1011 00:49:07,089 --> 00:49:07,689 I like it. 1012 00:49:07,689 --> 00:49:08,689 I ate some last night. 1013 00:49:09,659 --> 00:49:10,459 That's my favorite. 1014 00:49:12,299 --> 00:49:15,019 I like chili con carne. 1015 00:49:17,659 --> 00:49:19,899 Chili is the pepper. 1016 00:49:19,979 --> 00:49:21,419 The green one or the red one? 1017 00:49:22,299 --> 00:49:25,979 Chili con is with pepper. 1018 00:49:25,979 --> 00:49:27,099 With carne. 1019 00:49:28,539 --> 00:49:29,659 I like carne. 1020 00:49:30,939 --> 00:49:31,819 What does that mean? 1021 00:49:32,539 --> 00:49:35,449 Chili with meat, with the flesh. 1022 00:49:36,569 --> 00:49:38,529 I went to a friend's house when I was in college. 1023 00:49:38,529 --> 00:49:40,529 His mama made some chili. 1024 00:49:40,529 --> 00:49:41,849 He said, hey, mom made some chili. 1025 00:49:41,849 --> 00:49:42,489 You want some chili? 1026 00:49:42,489 --> 00:49:42,929 Yes. 1027 00:49:42,929 --> 00:49:44,009 I love chili. 1028 00:49:44,649 --> 00:49:47,289 We get there and he's got the bowl in front of me and I'm stirring 1029 00:49:47,289 --> 00:49:47,569 around. 1030 00:49:47,569 --> 00:49:51,369 I said, you ain't got no Kon carne. 1031 00:49:52,809 --> 00:49:54,009 You don't got no meat. 1032 00:49:54,729 --> 00:49:56,089 I know it's chili beans. 1033 00:49:56,089 --> 00:50:00,189 I said, oh, I like chili Con Carnegie. 1034 00:50:00,819 --> 00:50:01,779 I like the meat. 1035 00:50:01,859 --> 00:50:03,619 I want the meat and my chili. 1036 00:50:06,419 --> 00:50:12,019 When he says you are carnal, he's saying you're fleshly. 1037 00:50:15,219 --> 00:50:16,178 We're not going to turn there. 1038 00:50:16,178 --> 00:50:17,939 I would turn you there, but just listen to it. 1039 00:50:17,939 --> 00:50:18,899 Galatians 5. 1040 00:50:19,219 --> 00:50:19,859 The moment. 1041 00:50:19,859 --> 00:50:21,859 The moment you get saved, listen what happens. 1042 00:50:22,179 --> 00:50:27,819 The flesh, Mr. Con Carney, lusteth against the spirit and the 1043 00:50:27,819 --> 00:50:29,939 spirit against Mr. Gongarney. 1044 00:50:30,749 --> 00:50:32,469 And these are contrary to the others. 1045 00:50:32,469 --> 00:50:33,949 So you cannot do the things you would. 1046 00:50:34,029 --> 00:50:41,349 The moment we get saved, the flesh and the spirit are at war with 1047 00:50:41,349 --> 00:50:41,949 each other. 1048 00:50:43,149 --> 00:50:46,829 Brother Dave, I thought that the natural man, he done did. 1049 00:50:46,989 --> 00:50:48,429 That's the Adamic nature. 1050 00:50:49,309 --> 00:50:54,349 But after we get saved, we still have the carnal nature that's 1051 00:50:54,349 --> 00:50:59,059 been infected and affected by Adamic nature. 1052 00:51:00,019 --> 00:51:04,259 And according to the Holy Bible, Mr. Kankarney does not want 1053 00:51:04,259 --> 00:51:09,139 to surrender to God and even can't do it if he wanted to. 1054 00:51:10,819 --> 00:51:11,859 So here's the problem. 1055 00:51:12,499 --> 00:51:16,899 The spiritual man and Mr. Kankarni are at war with each other. 1056 00:51:17,139 --> 00:51:23,189 As long as we're saved, as long as we're breathing air, how 1057 00:51:23,189 --> 00:51:24,989 long does it last until you're dead? 1058 00:51:25,629 --> 00:51:26,549 Until you go to heaven? 1059 00:51:26,549 --> 00:51:27,629 Until Jesus comes back. 1060 00:51:28,749 --> 00:51:31,149 Well, can we win the battle? 1061 00:51:31,149 --> 00:51:32,269 Oh, yeah, we can win. 1062 00:51:32,269 --> 00:51:33,829 You gotta come for the rest of the week. 1063 00:51:33,829 --> 00:51:34,469 But we Gotta. 1064 00:51:34,469 --> 00:51:35,069 We can win. 1065 00:51:39,869 --> 00:51:42,429 So here's how I'm gonna conclude. 1066 00:51:44,749 --> 00:51:49,069 Mr. Adamic Nature died when I got placed into Christ because I 1067 00:51:49,069 --> 00:51:50,429 got all the benefit of Jesus. 1068 00:51:51,519 --> 00:51:58,079 Mr. Kankarni, my flesh, Mr. Carnal man, is now with me. 1069 00:51:58,639 --> 00:52:03,519 And I have this war going between the spirit and Mr. Kankarni. 1070 00:52:04,479 --> 00:52:08,799 From now on, what do we do with Mr. Adamic nature? 1071 00:52:09,039 --> 00:52:09,999 Well, he's dead. 1072 00:52:09,999 --> 00:52:10,719 He's gone. 1073 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:11,439 He died. 1074 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,559 What do we do with Mr. Khan Carney? 1075 00:52:15,279 --> 00:52:16,319 How do we handle him? 1076 00:52:17,209 --> 00:52:19,049 Well, I'll say it to you like Jesus said it. 1077 00:52:19,849 --> 00:52:25,849 Jesus said, if any man come after me, let him deny himself and 1078 00:52:25,849 --> 00:52:27,369 take up his cross and follow me. 1079 00:52:27,849 --> 00:52:29,689 What do you mean, deny himself? 1080 00:52:29,769 --> 00:52:31,369 Deny Mr. Congarney. 1081 00:52:32,328 --> 00:52:33,409 Here's a way to say it. 1082 00:52:33,409 --> 00:52:34,729 Tell him no. 1083 00:52:36,409 --> 00:52:37,449 Is everybody with me?

1086 00:52:46,529 --> 00:52:48,929 Drugs come your way, tell them no, then it's done. 1087 00:52:49,809 --> 00:52:51,049 You don't have to wrestle with it. 1088 00:52:51,049 --> 00:52:51,649 Just say no. 1089 00:52:52,209 --> 00:52:54,449 We need to tell Mr. Con Carney no. 1090 00:52:54,929 --> 00:52:56,049 Does he want his way? 1091 00:52:56,129 --> 00:52:56,609 Yes. 1092 00:52:58,049 -->
