Christmas, The Last Adam

[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another word-filled message by David Entry. Preaching is the means by which God manifests His word and nourishes our spirits. May the life of God enter into you and you as you listen to this message. Be blessed.

[0:16] Our first Bible reading was taken from Genesis chapter 1, verse 24.

[0:31] Then God said, let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind.

[0:42] Somebody say, according to its kind. According to its kind. Please say it again. According to its kind. So, on the first day God created, in Genesis chapter 1, verse 3, the Bible says, God said, let there be light.

[0:58] And then verse 6, God said. Verse 9, God said. Verse 11, God said. Verse 14, God said. And then verse 20, God said. 22, God said.

[1:09] 24, God said. And then 24 says that. Then God said. All right. All right. All right. 24 said. Then God said. Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind.

[1:25] Don't miss that. Okay. It was supposed to bring forth according to its kind. Cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth.

[1:38] Each according to its kind. And it was so. This was leading to the creation of man. All right.

[1:48] Because when you read down what it says that God created all these things. And then verse 23 said. So, the evening and the morning was the fifth day. So, all the other things were created on the fifth day.

[2:01] Then verse 24, God said. Let the earth bring forth according to its kind. So, I suggest to you that this is in the fifth day.

[2:13] It's sixth day. God started creating the creatures and the cattle, the creeping things and all that. And then verse 20. Six says that.

[2:24] Then God said. Let's all say that together. Then God said. Say it louder. Then God said. Let's read it out together. Let's go.

[2:35] Then God said. Let us make man in our image according to our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea.

[2:46] Over the bears of the air. And over the cattle. And over all the air. And over every creeping thing that creeps on the air. Oh, pastor.

[2:57] What has this got to do with Christmas? There's Christmas right inside there. Can't you see? C-H-R-I-S-T. It says. This is where the Christmas started.

[3:11] Our likeness. Bible says. God said. Let there be. And there was. And then God said. Let the earth be separated from the heavens. And there was.

[3:21] And it happened. God said. God said. God said. And it did. And when it came to the animals. Verse 24. God said. Let the earth. Bring forth.

[3:32] Living creatures. According to its kind. So. They are in a different kind. Then it came to man. Then God said. I can't go ahead. And. I can't proceed and do anything.

[3:44] Without a conference. So. When it came to making a man. God called a conference. He had to have a discussion with himself. So. God.

[3:54] Then God said. Then God. God is one. But God said. Let us. That was the first time he had to engage a conversation. With himself. Because man was about to be made. Then God said.

[4:06] We can't just go ahead and create. Let's sit down. Let's have a discussion. God called a conference. The self-contained conference. Within himself.

[4:17] He said. Let us. The answer just. That he was talking to. There were others. Who are the others? Himself. Is the others. He is the self-contained community.

[4:27] So God said. Let us. Make man. In. And then he said. In our. Not in mine. In our. God is a we. In our image.

[4:40] And. In our. According to our likeness. Image. Is for expression. Image. Image. Is for expression. When you see the image. Of this microphone.

[4:52] If the lights. The lights. Shines from this. And it casts a shadow. You will know that. It's expressing the microphone. It's not expressing the book. All right. All right. All right. All right.

[5:02] So whatever the image. Is supposed to represent. The image. Expresses. What is represented. When you see a silhouette. Of a. A female.

[5:14] It's easier to tell that. This is a silhouette. Of a female. Say image. Image. So image. Reflects. Image. Expresses. Something. And God said that.

[5:24] I want. Watch this. He said. Let us. Make man. In our image. In other words. We need something. On earth. To express us. I need something.

[5:35] On earth. To express me. So. God. Is one. But triune. Three. Three in one. That's why he could say. Let us. He's one. But triune. And then.

[5:46] Watch this. Look at the next verse. Very interesting. Very interesting. Very interesting. Verse 27. It said. So God created. What? Men. So God created. Man.

[5:57] He created. Is that the difference. Between man and man? What is the difference? Plural. So. God created man. In his own image. This is necessary. Not. After the likeness.

[6:08] Of the earth. When he came to man. He said. In our likeness. Not after its kind. He created man. After his kind. In his likeness. And his image. But all other creatures.

[6:19] Animals. The animals. Were created. According to its own kind. From the earth. We carry. Something of God. That is why the human life.

[6:29] Is very sacred. So. Create man. In our own image. And. In the image of God. Created he. Him. Created he what?

[6:40] Him. And. What's the hymn? Male and female. Ah. Ah. Is he creating. A man. Or men. Or people. He created.

[6:51] Man. But the man. Was a them. God. Said. Let us. God is one. But try you. Man.

[7:03] Is one. But corporate. God. God. He created. Us. As a corporate. Entity. So. That is. The Adam. Adam.

[7:13] Was created. That's why. When he was about to. Created. Okay. Let me open him up. And bring it out. Because everything. Is inside. You came from somebody. Okay.

[7:24] Yeah. But. According to. According to. Timothy. Second Timothy. It talks about. How he chose us. In him.

[7:35] Second Timothy. Chapter one. Verse. Eight. Seven and eight. Somewhere there. It talks about. How. He chose us. In him. Before.

[7:46] The foundation. Of the earth. He chose us. In him. He saved us. By his grace. And chose us. Him. So. If he chose us. Before. The world.

[7:56] Began. And. Adam was created alone. And when he wanted. Eve. He went and brought her out. That means. We were all. Inside him. Adam.

[8:07] Was created. A man. But that man. Was a corporate. Man. Even though. God. Is. One. He is.

[8:18] Triune. Now. Having understood that. What has that got to do with Christmas? The God. People were created in the image of God. Sin entered. Now. The Christmas. The Christmas story.

[8:29] What makes Christmas. Wonderful. Bible says that the angels came. While shepherds were watching their flocks by night. And suddenly. In Luke chapter 2. From verse 8.

[8:40] Suddenly the angel appeared. And he brought there. He said. Don't be afraid. For I bring you. Good tidings. Of great joy. Which shall be to. All people. Why? He said.

[8:50] For. In Bethlehem. It says that. For. There is born to you. This day. In the city of David. A savior. Who is Christ the Lord.

[9:02] I submit to you. That Christ. Was not born. As. Just. An ordinary human being. After. Just. After. Our kind.

[9:14] Even though. He came. To a certain extent. In our likeness. According to Romans chapter 8. Verse 3. He says that. Christ. Came in the likeness.

[9:25] Of the sinful flesh. So Christ also said. For what the Lord could not do. In that it was weak. Through the flesh. God did by sending his own son. In the likeness.

[9:36] So Christ came in our likeness. He came in the likeness. Of the sinful flesh. But without the sin. So that he can be a savior. For the sinners. Sinless. Because. If you are wanted.

[9:48] How can you go. And bail somebody. From the police station. A wanted man. Cannot go.

[9:58] And bail someone. From the police station. So. Someone with sin. Cannot be a savior. For others. With sin. So. There was the need.

[10:09] For him. To be sinless. Even though. He was. Like us. He had to be. Different from us. In a certain sense. So long that. Sin was concerned. So that he can be.

[10:20] A savior. To save us. From our sins. I see someone. Enjoying salvation. Genesis. And.

[10:31] Luke. Chapter 2. What's the correlation? Genesis. When God finished everything. He said. Let us make man. In our image. And our likeness. And then. In Genesis. Chapter. The.

[10:42] Chapter 1. Verse 26. He says that. And let them have. Dominion. Over the fish. Of the sea. Of the best. Let them have. Dominion.

[10:53] Over the fish. Of the sea. Over the best. Of the air. And over. The cattle. Over all the earth. And over. Every creeping thing. That creeps. Upon the surface.

[11:03] Of the earth. So God created. Before he created. He said. This is my plan. I'm creating them. To reflect me. So that wherever they show up. On this earth. I've created. On this earth. Man is my representative.

[11:15] But then. There was a Lucifer here. There was a Satan here. Who was. Positioned. He has already taken. His position here. And God said.

[11:27] That I'm going to let you. Not just represent. And reflect me. But you are also going to have. Dominion. Satan. Is under your feet. We were created.

[11:38] To have dominion. Including. Including. Health. Family. Issues. Your life.

[11:49] Dominion. Someone shout dominion. Dominion. Shout dominion. Dominion. We were created. To have dominion. Satan had taken over. But. Satan. Came in.

[12:01] To distort the image of God. To distort the plan of God. Because we disobeyed God. But. God. Had. His own plan. And so. He said.

[12:11] First Adam. Phil. I'm going to bring the last Adam. First Corinthians. Chapter. 15. Verse 45. I want to show you something. God.

[12:21] Jesus. Didn't come as an ordinary man. He came as. An Adam. He came as the second man. There are only two men. So long as God is concerned. Because remember. I told you.

[12:32] That God. Created. One man. One man. But he was a corporate man. So Jesus had to come as another man. A corporate man. To start. The. God race.

[12:43] So if you are. See you are either in. One of these two. You are either in Adam. Or you are in Christ. Alright. If you are not in Christ. Naturally. You are in Adam.

[12:54] And Adam. Is a race. They have missed God. So. First Corinthians. Look at this. First Corinthians. Chapter 15. Verse. 45. And. So.

[13:05] It is written. The first Adam. Let us make man. In our image. That man. Single man. He was the first Adam. This is Genesis. Chapter 1. Verse 27.

[13:16] The first man. The first. Became a living being. The last. Adam. Became a life giving. He's not a. He's a life giving spirit.

[13:27] He comes into you. And spirit. Life comes into you. He's. He became a spirit. He became a spirit. But life giving spirit. That is how come. He can be in you. He can be in him.

[13:38] He can be in me. He can be in them. At the same time. And all of us. Who have it. Have him. In us. Have life. So.

[13:49] His arrival. Was a big news. Was good news. Just like. After God created. Everything. For. In the first five days. The six days.

[14:00] Now. When he was about to make money. Call the conference. Because this one. Is the big news. Now. When the second Adam was. When the last Adam was coming. Who is also called. The second man. Why last Adam?

[14:11] Because. Once you enter. You enter him. You are terminated. You've terminated Adam. Anything we inherited from Adam. Gets. Terminated. In Christ. Look at the next verse.

[14:23] Verse 46. See. Let's not read it out loud. Verse 46. Let's go. Adam. The spiritual. Is not the first. But. See. Adam's first one. Was the first.

[14:34] Okay. And. Afterwards. The spiritual. Go to the verse 47. Let's go. The first man. Was all there. In the last. The second man.

[14:44] The Lord. So you see. It's two men. Two men. God made one man. By us. A corporate man. And so the first. We all naturally. The first.

[14:55] The first man. Was of the earth. That's natural. And so. Everyone here. As long as you are alive. You are a natural being. Born. From Adam.

[15:06] We all came from somebody. Like the child. The child will ask. So. Who. Where did you come from. Mom. I came from my dad. Or my mom. But where did your mom.

[15:17] Come from. She came from her mom. Or her dad. But where did. Her mom and dad came from. Keep going. Okay. They all came from. Somebody. Adam. And then the question.

[15:28] The child will ask. So where did Adam come from. Adam came from. God. God. Himself. Picked him. And made him. And then the children. Ask the next question. If God made Adam.

[15:39] Who made God? And then most of you. The answer is. God made himself. For God. To make himself.

[15:49] Means that. He was. And was not. At the same time. Under the same circumstance. And that cannot be. He can. Because if God made himself. Before he made himself.

[16:00] Where was he? Where was he? So. Before he made himself. So you are trying to say that. God. At the point in time. He wasn't. Yet he was. To make.

[16:11] God was. God is. Never. He was never made. He just is. Human beings. Because we have an origin. We think God must also have an origin. No. It's.

[16:22] That's. That's. That's. That's. Anthropomorphic thinking. In other words.

[16:32] Thinking. In human terms. That. God. We were made. So God must be made. No. The fact that we were born.

[16:43] Doesn't mean God must be born. And. There's no way. Watch this. There's no way we can fully comprehend that. So you either. Take it. Or leave it. The first Adam.

[16:54] And the last Adam. So when the first Adam was coming. It required. A conference. When the last. Adam was coming. When the second man was coming. It also required. Some interesting time.

[17:05] So when he arrived. Angels have to come. Angels have to come. And announce. Guys you don't know what has happened. He said go. There you find. He said I'll give you a sign. Verse 10 of chapter 2. What is the sign?

[17:17] Look chapter 2 verse 10. Can you put it on the screen please? And this will be. The sign to you. You will find. A babe. Wrapped. In a swaddling. Cloth.

[17:28] Lying. In a manger. Manger. What's a manger? Feeding through. The cattle eat from the manger. That's why if you are not a sheep. You've missed God. You can't enjoy Christ.

[17:39] He came for the sheep. The feeding through. What the sheep has to be feeding from. That's where he was. It says a sign. But he was wrapped with swaddling clothes. So you don't just get access.

[17:50] He had to come. And lie in the. The bowl. Let me put it. The bowl of the sheep. So that the sheep can feed on him. Watch this.

[18:04] And he went. To the shepherd. Who have feeding their flock by night? No. The real food have appeared. You are at the wrong place. He said. He went and announced to the shepherds. While the shepherd.

[18:16] Watch their flocks by night. No. No. You have missed it. There's a sign. The actual. Food. For the sheep. Has arrived. Wow. And he said.

[18:27] It shall be. Good news. It's a. I bring you great. Tidings. Of great joy. That shall be good. It shall be unto. All people. Verse 13. And suddenly.

[18:38] There was. With the angel. The angel that came to make the announcement. Suddenly there was. With that angel. A multitude. Of heavenly hosts. Praising God. And saying.

[18:48] What were they saying? Look at the next verse. Glory to God. In the highest. And on earth. Peace. Goodwill. Towards men. This is very similar to. Genesis chapter.

[19:00] One. When he made man. Why? Because now. The second man. Has arrived. What is the purpose of the second man? The first man was made. Watch this.

[19:10] Ah. The first man was made. In. He said. Let us make man. In our own image. In our likeness. The second man. He.

[19:21] Himself. Was the image. The express. Hebrew chapter 1 verse 3.

[19:32] Let us read the answer. So that you can see what I am talking about. God wanted an image. This thing was not made with my image in mind. So I can't fit into it.

[19:43] I'm trying. I'm trying. But I can't fit into it. Because it was not made according to my image. Is it not a jacket? Yes. So what's the problem?

[19:55] It. It. It is not made for my image. So the image. If it's made according to my image. Then it was made with me in mind. For me to enter into it fully.

[20:08] Without struggle. They gave me this one. I couldn't fit into it. They gave me this other one. I couldn't fit into it. But. Ladies and gentlemen. I picked this.

[20:20] And I put it on. And right away. You realize. That this is mine. It's mine.

[20:33] Why? Because if it's my image. My image. It's. It's. Even if they hang it. You can tell. The way it is. It's supposed to be. As it were. Permit me to say it this way.

[20:44] God. Made you. So he can wear you. On earth. Ah. He made us.

[20:56] So he can. It's just like. I explained the other time. Like a glass. So that. If you have glass. With three. Only three fingers. I can use it. Because it must be made.

[21:06] According to my. Space. The image of my head. So that I can fit myself. Into it. So God. Actually. Made us. In his image. So that he can. Enter us. But before he could say.

[21:17] Jack. The enemy. The deceiver. Has come in. To deceive us. And because of our. Interest. We lost. We disobeyed God. And lost the opportunity. For him to fill us.

[21:28] But he said. I have a Christmas story. Ahead. So Christ. Had to come. As. The second. Man. As the image. You know what. Watch.

[21:38] Watch. This is a good one. As the image. As the image. So. We see. In Hebrews. Did we read. Hebrews chapter 1 verse 3. Now put it. Hebrews chapter 1 verse 3. This is talking about Jesus.

[21:48] Who being. The brightness. Of his glory. The express. Image. Of God's person. The express. Image. Of his. The his. Is talking about God.

[21:59] That's why it's capital. The immediate. When you see him. You see God. Amongst men. Jesus. Is the express. God. Created man. In his image. But something went wrong.

[22:10] After creation. So Jesus came. Now he wasn't creating his image. He actually came. To be the image of God. To act. So he can't get it wrong. So he is the express. Image. Of his person.

[22:21] In Colossians chapter 1. Verse 15. Colossians chapter 1. Verse 15. How does he put it? I think we should all read it together. If they get it on the screen. Let's go. The firstborn.

[22:35] Over all creation. The firstborn. Because he's an Adam. The firstborn. He is the image. Of the invisible God. And so. Christmas. Is when.

[22:46] It's like. When the actual creation. The second. The sixth day creation. The creation of man. The creation story. Actually. Became actualized. In Christmas.

[22:57] When he was born. As a man. Yet. The express image of God. So. When you look at him. This is the original thing. God created.

[23:09] When he was creating man. The intent. That's why he could command. The seed for the teeth. Because. Have dominion. Have dominion. He could see the blind. He could be healed. He could raise the dead. He had dominion.

[23:21] He. We were created. To have dominion. So he came to be. The express image. This is what God had in mind. That's why. When he was born. On the day. That's why we celebrate Christmas.

[23:33] Because. It's such a big story. Even angels were happy. Yes. Yeah. Why shouldn't me. I. A Christian. Be happy as well. I should be happier. Yeah. Yeah.

[23:44] Yeah. Somebody shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. Because of my time. As I bring this. I run it up. Watch this.

[23:54] So Jesus. Is the image. Of the invisible God. You can't see him. But when you see Jesus. It's the image. Of the invisible God.

[24:06] The firstborn. Of all creation. Hallelujah. In 2nd Corinthians. Chapter 4. Verse 4. God. Bible talks about Jesus. Again. Being the image.

[24:17] Watch this. Who. This is talking about unbelievers. Whose minds. The God of this age. That's Satan. Whose minds. The God of this age. Satan. Has blinded.

[24:28] Not their eyes. Their minds are blinded. So the best. You can. They can have to offer. Is oh. We just came out. From this line. I heard a man of God.

[24:39] Say something very amazing. About. He says that. For man. To walk on the moon. Is fun. It's amazing. But something more amazing. For God.

[24:50] To walk on earth. It's even more amazing. Amazing. Whose minds. The God of this world. Has blinded.

[25:01] So. Unbelievers. They can't get it. It doesn't take. Intellectual powers. To discover Jesus. At all. At all.

[25:12] It takes. A touched heart. And a revelation. Before God. Could do anything. With your life. He must say. Let there be light. That after the first day light.

[25:25] Fourth day light. Was made. The sun. The moon. And the stars. So what are the first day light. No. That is regeneration. Anything that has gone wrong. In your life. If God can help you. It must start.

[25:35] With Christmas. Christmas. In other words. The arrival of Christ. In your heart. That's actual Christmas. So. Please put it up.

[25:46] Let me. As I finish. The God of this one. This world. Has blinded. Who do not believe. So. It's a mind problem. Okay. They don't believe. It's not that.

[25:56] They are stubborn. Who do not believe. Less. What? Less. Less. The light. Of the gospel. Of the glory. Of Christ. Who is Christ?

[26:07] Who is the image. Of God? Should shun them. Christ. Is the image of God. Christ. Is the image of God. What?

[26:19] Has that gone? I can't go into this. This is loaded. But time will not permit me to go into it. What? Is the point here? Now watch this. I quoted it earlier on. But some of you didn't get it. Romans.

[26:30] Chapter. Eight. Verse 29. It's a big thing. That's how Christmas becomes relevant to us. Let's all read it all together. Let's go. For whom he foreknew.

[26:41] Some of you are not reading. Let's read it out loud. For whom he foreknew. He also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son. That he might be the firstborn amongst many.

[26:53] All right. Let's start again. One more time. For whom he foreknew. He also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son. To be what? To what?

[27:04] Conformed. To be conformed to what? The image of his son. You were created in his image. But something gone wrong. So.

[27:16] Last Adam. Or the second man had to come. So that we. Now will be conformed. It's like God is now cloning us. Once you enter Christ.

[27:27] The image restores. You enter Christ. The image is restored. You enter Christ. The image is restored. So. So. He says that. Now. Christ. Being the express image.

[27:39] Of his person. He came. As the express image of God's person. You see him. You see God. Now. Once we enter Christ. We then recover the image.

[27:50] So that. Says that. That. That. We. Those he predestined. For. For whom he foreknew. He also predestined to be conformed. Conformed. Conformed. To form together with the image.

[28:02] Conformed. To be conformed. To the image. Of his son. Why? That he might be the first. Amongst many brethren. So he. Being the second man.

[28:13] Is not alone. Does it surprise you. Why Bible says that we. Are the body. Of Christ. Even though. Romans. I think. It's Romans chapter. 12.

[28:23] Or first Corinthians chapter 12. Both of them. But Romans chapter 12. It says that. Verse. 28. Or so. Talks about how. For. It says that.

[28:34] Even though we are many. Oh. First. Let's go to the first Corinthians. One is better. First Corinthians chapter 12. Verse 12. I suppose it should be that one. Can you put it on the screen. First Corinthians chapter 12. Verse 12. For us. The body is one.

[28:46] And has many members. But all the members are. Of that one body. Be many. Are one body. So also. Is Christ. So Christ. Is many.

[28:56] But one body. You are part of the body. I am part of the body. Because we are all a corporate man. That is why. When they ask him. Teach us to pray. In Matthew 6.

[29:07] 9. He said. In this manner. Therefore. Pray. Hour. Watch this. It starts with the hour. The Christian walk. Is a corporate walk.

[29:18] The Christian life. Is a corporate life. You can be a Christian. By yourself. On your own. It cannot happen. Because you can. Your body is not only one part. Your body is different.

[29:29] Different. Different parts. Get it. You are just a part. Of the huge. And one wonderful. Glorious. Body of Christ. And Christ. Is the head.

[29:40] Of the body. And we. Are the body. Of Christ. Shout yes. Hallelujah. Any Christian.

[29:51] Who doesn't fellowship. With other Christian. Is not living. The body life. But sometimes. I don't like the way. They behave. You too. Someone may not like. The way you behave. And most of the time.

[30:03] People who don't like. The way others behave. Have more problem. Because everyone. Got problem. Everyone. Got problem. So.

[30:14] So. Watch this. This is amazing. It's beautiful. In this manner. Therefore pray. Our father. Say. Our father. Our father. Shout it. Our father.

[30:24] Our father. Shout it louder. Our father. Our father. He never says. My father. My father. Eli. Eli. Lamas.

[30:35] No. No. No. No. No. Say. Our father. When you're approaching God. We should go as a corporate body. Even when he says that. Ye are the temple of God. When you. Research it very carefully. He's not talking about one person.

[30:46] He's talking about. We. As the body. We. Are the temple of God. Christianity. Is a we life. It's a community life. We are a corporate body. Even though one. God always creates one.

[30:58] But as a corporate one. That's why Christmas came. Let me finish this. You will like this. I want to finish on this. Our father. Our father. Who art. Where. In heaven. What.

[31:09] Hallowed be. That's. But the first. Actual request. Is what. What's the first request from here. Hallowed be. That. Oh. Go. Go to the next verse. Verse 10. Verse 10. Please. I can't hear you.

[31:22] I can't hear you. Kingdom is dominion. Authority. Let God. Be in charge here. When you begin to pray. God. That. Dominion mandate.

[31:34] Let us. Create them in our image. That they will have dominion. Over all the things. Now. He said. When you pray. Start from there. That angle. As the image of God. Start from there. That let your kingdom come.

[31:46] Dominion restored. And watch this. Watch this. This is the better one. The next one. What is the next one? Your will be done on earth. I can't hear you. Louder. Let's read it all together.

[31:57] Your will be done on earth. As it is in heaven. One more time. Your will be done on earth. If I were you. I would shout it out louder. Your will be done on earth.

[32:08] As it is in heaven. God has no problem in heaven. Everything is fine in heaven. Everything is fine in heaven. The will is okay in heaven. The problem is here.

[32:19] People think God is in a hurry. To bring us up. No. He really. The reason why he brought us here. Is he is interested in coming here. Because the kingdom. Must be expressed on this earth.

[32:30] The kingdom. The kingdom. So when Jesus was born. His first public comment. His first public statement. Was repent. He said. The kingdom of God is at hand. The kingdom.

[32:42] The rulership. I have brought it. Because the dominion. He created us for. He created us to be priests. Reflect him. And kings. Rule. Shout hallelujah.

[32:54] Hallelujah. But we lost that. Because of sin. So he came. So that. In the last Adam. Or the second man. We will recover. What was lost.

[33:05] In the first Adam. That is why. There was the need. For. The savior. To come. Like us. But. It is more. An expression. Of God.

[33:16] Than being. Like us. We were created. In his likeness. So he also came. Like us. But his likeness. To us. Is actually. He came. In the image of God. You.

[33:27] In Christ. Changes. Everything. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. Talking about church. Church. No. No. No. No. No. No. You see. People don't understand. What this church life is about.

[33:38] The church life. Is the corporate body. Of Christ. On earth. Exercising. The dominion. Of God. To. Yeah. Please. Satan came. And took charge.

[33:48] God said. I'm coming to. I'm. I mean. I won't fight you. My image will deal with you. So. So guess what. Romans. Chapter 16. Verse 20. This is a good one.

[33:59] Somebody shout dominion. Shout dominion. Dominion. Let's read it out. Let's go. And the God of peace. Will crash Satan.

[34:10] Under your feet. Shortly. Shout dominion. Satan is on earth. Let your will be done on earth. Let your kingdom come.

[34:20] And he said. God. As you walk in his image. As you allow Christ. To find an expression in you. The kingdom of God. Is about to be expressed. And he said. For God.

[34:31] Will bruise. He will crash. Satan. Where? Under your feet. Shortly. Shout dominion. Dominion. Yes. You can heal the sick.

[34:44] You can raise the dead. Yes. If you can pray for the sick. For the sick to be healed. Then your health. Is not a problem.

[34:56] You are actually helping others. You are fine. We were created. To have dominion. To have dominion. But we lost dominion.

[35:06] And Jesus came. To restore dominion. He said. If I. By the finger of God. Cast out devils. Then the kingdom of God. Is in your midst. The kingdom of God.

[35:18] Takes care. And takes charge. And drives demons out. That's what we should be praying. Thy kingdom come. Thy kingdom come. And how does the kingdom come?

[35:29] You and I. Allowing ourselves. For Christ. To express himself. In us. Bible says. Romans chapter 14. Verse 17. He said. Righteousness.

[35:40] Peace. Joy. In the Holy Ghost. That's the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God. Is not in meat. Or drink. But the kingdom of God. Is righteousness. Peace.

[35:51] Joy. In the Holy Ghost. What's the kingdom? Righteousness. Peace. Joy. What's the kingdom? Righteousness. Peace. Joy. In the Holy Ghost. That is when God.

[36:02] Begins to take charge. So. Our unrighteousness. Does not harm the devil. It hurts us. Because it doesn't give God. The opportunity. For his kingdom to come.

[36:14] Our unrighteousness. Your joylessness. And peacelessness. Affects. Your opportunity. Ability to be in charge. Somebody is blessed.

[36:31] I am healed. Anytime Christmas is coming. Think about dominion. Think about the restoration. And that should excite you. If you don't. If you don't have money to buy something.

[36:43] It shouldn't be the problem. It shouldn't be a problem. Because. You don't have a problem. You are. You are in dominion. And all you should focus on.

[36:53] Is joy. In the Holy Ghost. Righteousness. And peace. As you do that. You begin to take charge. How do we take. We don't take charge. By fighting. We don't take charge. By attacking people. We take charge.

[37:04] By righteousness. Peace. Joy. In the Holy Ghost. Righteousness. Peace. Joy. In the Holy Ghost. Righteousness. Peace. Joy. In the. and then we are taking charge. Righteousness, peace joy in the Holy Ghost.

[37:17] Righteousness, peace, joy in the Holy Ghost. Righteousness, peace, joy and you are taking grounds. You are choosing grounds to righteousness. Peace joy in the Holy Ghost. And you are choosing grounds. I see you taking grounds. I see you taking grounds. I see you completing more grounds in the mighty name of Jesus. I see you taking grounds in your health. I see you taking grounds in your marriage.

[37:40] In your career. In your finances in your family. You will take charge. You will take charge. You will take charge. In the name of Jesus.

[37:53] If you believe it, come on, give the Lord a shout and a clap. Give the Lord a shout. Give the Lord a shout. Next time when you hear Christmas, think dominion.

[38:12] Think freedom. Think good news. Don't think techie. Don't think techie.

[38:25] Think dominion. Think good news. Think power. Think liberty. Think freedom. And I see that happening in your life.

[38:38] I see that happening in somebody's life. I see that happening in somebody's life. In the name of Jesus. Thank you for listening to this message by David Entry.
