[0:00] Hallelujah! Thank you for tuning in to this powerful message by David Entry at Karis Phase 2, our Christ-centered youth services. You can never find Christ outside of the open Word of God.
[0:14] May Jesus Christ reveal himself to you as you listen. Please be seated. Praise the Lord. In Acts chapter 10, verse 42 and 43.
[0:30] It's a nice one. This talks about how God raised Jesus from the dead.
[0:41] And then when he raised him from the dead, he commanded us to preach unto the people and to testify that, hmm, this is what, this, hmm, it's so good.
[0:53] He said, we should testify that it is he. Give us Niki James so that he can jump out. It is he. Niki James. He. That we should, and to testify that it is he who was ordained by God to be judge of the living and the dead.
[1:12] He told them what to go and tell the people. So, verse 40 says that God raised him from the dead and showed him openly.
[1:27] Verse 41. Not to all the people, but to witnesses. To witnesses chosen before by God. So, can you imagine when Jesus has been resurrected from the dead, those who saw him were foreordained.
[1:43] That's what chosen before means, foreordained. So, if you get a chance to tell somebody about Jesus, it's because you have been chosen before to do what you are doing. It's not because you are so good a person and so intelligent.
[1:58] But God has chosen. So, it says that chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with him after he arose from the dead.
[2:08] So, Jesus was crucified. He died. But God raised him.
[2:19] And when God raised him, it wasn't private affair. Raised him and showed him openly. A resurrected human being. Someone who used to be dead.
[2:30] Have you ever seen anybody who used to be dead? No. You only see dead people. But this one, the only one who used to be dead.
[2:41] Revelation chapter 1 verse 80. He said, I am Jesus. I am the one who lives. He said, I live. I was dead. Can you ever say that? I mean, who can ever say that I was dead?
[2:53] One man can say that. Buddha cannot say that. Moses cannot say that. John the Baptist cannot say that. Jesus said, I was dead. And behold, I am alive forevermore.
[3:06] Wow. If you don't know this Jesus, how can you sacrifice for him? I was dead. Jesus himself, he is not someone saying for him.
[3:19] No one can ever live to say I was dead. Wow. Jesus said, I was dead. But now I live forevermore. I'm not dying again.
[3:32] So he says that God raised him and showed him openly to all the people. Showed him. The Bible said on the third day. And showed him openly.
[3:44] Openly. It's not secret. Openly. But he didn't allow everybody to see him. He allowed only those who have been chosen by God to be his witnesses.
[3:57] And then when they saw him, what did they say? Look at the next verse. Verse 42. And God commanded us to don't know sing, to preach. There's a difference between singing and preaching.
[4:10] God commanded us to preach to the people and testify. Which people do you think they are talking about? The same people who were there when Jesus died. Think about it.
[4:23] It wouldn't be easier if he just appeared to all of them one by one. And that's, that's the issue. Doesn't have to spend two minutes or ten minutes. Just hello. Hello.
[4:35] Hello. From house to house. Because he won't be tired. Because he's a spirit. Hello. Hello. He just moved from house to house. People say, I believe. I believe.
[4:46] Won't it make the work easier? God said, no. I don't want to save people by impressions. I don't want to save people by the way they feel about.
[4:59] No. I want to save people by what they know. What they are told. The story about Jesus. So, he said, you go and tell them that Jesus is alive.
[5:12] Go and tell them. So, he said, and he, and he commanded us to preach to the people and test. Oh, that's where I was coming now.
[5:22] I was taking all the time. This is too good. He said. He said, go and tell the people and testify that it is.
[5:34] Watch this. Oh, this is too good. This is too good. He said, when you go, go and tell them. He said, what have you got to tell them? What about him?
[5:47] He is talking to us about him. What about him? This is the one that all the prophets said was coming. He has come and died and resurrected. Now, go and tell them that.
[5:58] The one they killed is the one that was said was coming. Go and testify to the people that it is he who was ordained by God to be the judge of the living.
[6:11] He walked among us. We caught him and killed him. Now, go back. He didn't show himself. He showed himself to you people. And he said, go and tell them that the one you killed is the one. He's the one.
[6:23] So, in Acts chapter 2, verse 36, he said, let the house of Israel know. He says that, therefore, let all the house of Israel know, assuredly, certainly, that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified.
[6:39] That's the Jesus. The Jesus you crucified, God has made him both Lord and Christ. You can't do anything about it. Christ came and you crucified him.
[6:52] So, Stephen puts it this way. In Acts chapter 7, verse 51. You stiff-necked people. Hey, what kind of preacher is this?
[7:03] He was preaching very good. He was preaching from verse 1. He was summarizing the old text in verse 2. He said, the God of glory appeared to our father Abraham. And he began to tell them about how this God of glory who appeared to our father told him to live and relocate to somewhere.
[7:21] So, God doesn't have a problem with immigration. He said, check your Bible. He said, leave, relocate to UK.
[7:31] So, some of you, God will tell you, relocate to Afghanistan for missions work. You must have it in your heart.
[7:43] Wherever you send me, I'll go. So, God told Abraham to move from your father's house. Enough of domestic, your mother's food.
[7:56] Come out of your own country from your own relatives. Your own relatives. Some of you can't do ministry because you are too attached to your people. And to get to a time, you will have to part company, not in a malicious or in an argumentative way or bitter way.
[8:20] But, we have to part company with Sunday morning, going to church. Okay, I'll see you after church. You go here, I go here. Your same brother, the same sister.
[8:30] You've always done, your twin sister. You've always done everything together. Your twin brother. You've always done this. But now you've found Christ. And they are not interested in that kind of Christ you've found. You must be able to be ready.
[8:42] God told Abraham, leave your relatives. If you can leave your relatives, how much more your boyfriend? Please. Please, please.
[8:53] Get out of your country. That's immigration. And from your relatives, leave family.
[9:05] And come to the land that I will show you. So, Stephen started telling them about how God took Abraham. Abraham lived. And then Abraham had Isaac.
[9:16] And Isaac had Jacob. And Jacob had the twelve. And they all ended up in Egypt. Joseph was sold. And they ended up in Egypt. And then around those times, a king came who didn't know Joseph.
[9:29] And then when the king came, he didn't know Joseph. The Bible said, around, he passed a law. Because the Jews were multiplying. So, he passed a law that every male child that is born must be executed.
[9:41] The problem is not the girls. If you can clip the boys, you have clipped the society. Black boys, listen to me.
[9:53] Black girls, listen to me. White boys, listen to me. White girls, listen to me. Latino girls, listen to me. Asian girls and boys, listen to me. If you can stop the men, you will stop the community.
[10:11] Prosperity of women is good. But if it's at the expense of the prosperity of their men, the women will never be happy. So, Abraham.
[10:28] So, Stephen told the story of Abraham. Abraham. Then he brought Moses. I like it. He said, at that time, Moses was born. What a bad time to be born. Why would Moses be born at that time?
[10:41] At this time, Moses was born. What time? Look at the verse before. Verse 19. Very scary times. This man dealt treacherously with our people and oppressed our forefathers, making them expose their babies so that they might not live.
[10:57] Waking. Really? So, if you are born around that time and you are a male, you don't have a chance to live. No male lived around that time. And Bible said, at that time, Moses was born.
[11:10] God! If you are going to send Moses, why this time? God is not threatened by any systems. Moses was born and was well-pleasing to God.
[11:21] The child, he hasn't done anything. Oh, it's destiny now. The child was more pleasing to God. So, he was brought up in his father's house for three months. So, when he said he was more pleasing to God, this text, intellectually or intelligently, when you look at the grammatic composition, comprehension matters, you will realize that when he said he was pleasing to God, he was not talking about when he grew up.
[11:47] Because he wouldn't have said, and he was brought up. So, it's like when the child was born, God said, ah! Oh! Good, good, good, good, good, good. Life is more.
[11:58] God said, no, this one must live. Ah! No, no. It's not so much like that, even though it looks like that. It was because God has already planned that this boy is going to arrive at this time.
[12:10] And so, he was pleased. And he was brought up in his father's house for three months. And then what happened? But when he was set out, Pharaoh's daughter took him away and brought him up as her own son.
[12:23] Ah! The one who wants to kill you, now he's going to raise you by her own son. So, he had all royal privileges. Moses grew up as a prince of Egypt.
[12:34] And it's not like they swapped him at the hospital, so they didn't know they were raising a Jew. They knew. Their mother said, this is a Jew, but for some reason. Pharaoh's daughter said, I want this child.
[12:45] I want this child as my child. Don't kill this child. I want this child. Because their mother, Moses' mother said, I can't let them kill this child. So, she hid the child for three months.
[12:57] But how long can you do that? Because the king has passed the law. They will catch a child. Because everywhere, they have remote CCTV everywhere. They will see their child in the house.
[13:09] So, Moses' mother put her by the Nile on water in a basket. That's why we have Moses' basket. So, Moses' basket is the Bible word. It's a Bible mindset.
[13:21] So, if you see somebody buying Moses' basket, tell them, ask them, do you know it's from the Bible? So, they put him in a Moses' basket.
[13:32] And they left him on the river Nile. That river was infected with crocodiles. And the mother sent the little Moses' elder sister, Miriam, to just keep an eye on it and see what will happen to the child.
[13:44] And they put him around it where the royals have been bathing. And so, one of the royals' girls saw, oh, riverside.
[13:54] Okay. Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bath. You see? Pharaoh also baths. She came down to bath at the river. It's your Bible. They came to bath.
[14:05] The daughter of Pharaoh came to bath at the river. And her maidens walked along the river. And so, her maidens, those who attend to her, was just taking a stroke. Ah! That's a baby! So, her maidens walked.
[14:16] And she saw the ark, that's the Moses' basket, among the reeds. It was hiding somewhere. And she sent her maid to get. So, the maid to her said, bring that baby!
[14:27] And when, let's go to the next verse. And when she opened it, she saw the child. And behold, the baby went. Yeah! Ah, don't get me!
[14:45] The baby is good. It was a woman. If it was a man, I would kick the leg. But women and babies. She's crying.
[14:57] And when the baby cried. Ah! So, she had compassion on him. And said, this is one of the Hebrew children. They knew that this is a child that has been abandoned because they are afraid.
[15:08] And what did she do? This is one of the Hebrew children. Then, his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, I shall go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you.
[15:20] So, now Moses' mother was paid to feed Moses. And, they said. And what happened? And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, go!
[15:31] So, the maiden went and called the child's mother. Meanwhile, she didn't know it was a mother. They went and brought the mother. Pharaoh's daughter said to her, take, can you imagine?
[15:42] Take this child away and nurse him for me. You are joking. That's my baby. Nurse him for me. And I will give you wages.
[15:54] I will give you your wages. So, the woman took the child and nesting. He said, God, not too much. I told you God can't fix you. Can't take care of you.
[16:05] You are so worried about, what about my marriage? What about my future? Just serve him. If you serve him, he will serve you. What happened? Let me just, are you enjoying the story?
[16:16] No. Nice story. If I don't say it, some of you won't read it. So, let's, let's. We have come to church. We'll read the Bible. And what happened? And so, so the child grew.
[16:26] Oh, wow. The child grew. And she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter. And he became her son. Moses became Pharaoh's daughter's son.
[16:40] So, she called his name Moses because I drew him out. So, now she thinks that that's her child. And I drew out of it. I paid someone to take care of this child for me. Because it's one of the Hebrew's children.
[16:52] But the gods have brought me a child. So, paid someone. So, when he was weaned and grew, they brought him. And she took care of it. Gave her Moses. So, Moses is not from God.
[17:04] Moses means drawn out of. Is he not the same one God used to draw his people out? Wow. Come on. Wow. Drawn out. So, call him Moses.
[17:15] So, that's. So, Stephen told all this story. He told all the story. He told the. You know, there are nine stories. I don't know why people won't even read it. And they are going to watch soap opera. There's a lot of soap in the Bible.
[17:28] And the. Moses told it. So, Stephen. Stephen said. And then when he became of age. He saw. His people.
[17:40] Because the mother told him. Hey. You are not one of them. You are one of us. But don't let them know. I'm now sending you to the palace. Yes. You are going to live there. My boy.
[17:50] I love you. Okay. Every now and then. Come and say hello. So, the mother. Schooled him. About their Jewish history. So, he knew he was Jew. He knew it. But he was living in Pharaoh's house.
[18:01] And Pharaoh's daughter also knew. That. The boy was Jewish. But he thought that. I love him. And that's. That's my son. And so. The Bible says in.
[18:13] Acts chapter 7. That Moses. I think 22 or so. He was schooled in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. Wow. Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians.
[18:24] And was mighty in ways indeed. You see how God raised him. So, there's nothing. He attended the best universities in Egypt. And had the best tutors.
[18:37] Was the top. He was trained to be a king. Then the next Pharaoh to come. He was raised to be a Pharaoh. But the devil didn't know he was raising a deliverer.
[18:49] You can't change his mind. And guess what. One day. He went to visit his people. And he saw. An Egyptian. Moldreating. And molesting. No. Before then.
[19:00] He saw two of them fighting. You know. Two people fighting. No, no. Sorry. He saw an Egyptian. Molesting. One of the Jewish. And he said.
[19:10] No. He's a prince. And he's. They trained. Mashallah. Everything. Say. Hey. Why are you beating the guy? So. Sir. Sir. Sir. He's a very naughty guy. Good. He said. No. You can't beat him.
[19:21] He took this Egyptian. And beat him. And killed him. He don't. It's in your Bible. Seeing one of them suffer wrong. He defended.
[19:31] And avenged him. Who was oppressed. And struck down the Egyptian. He started killing Egyptians. Yeah. Which was a dangerous thing. But he can't look at this.
[19:42] Some of you. You look at people. Attack church people. And you. You say. Yeah. That's a good point. Yeah. You call yourself a Christian. Others are lambasting another Christian.
[19:53] And you say. Oh. I understand. I get his point. I get where he's coming from. But you don't. It's like. It's. Can you imagine. Do you think Lucifer was the only archangel? There was archangel Michael.
[20:04] There was archangel Gilbert. A archangel Michael could have said. You know. Lucifer. What you did was not good. But I understand. No. They fought him. They fought Lucifer out of heaven.
[20:16] They fought him. Oh. Yeah. I agree. I get it. You know. I mean. I don't take any side. I just make sure I make peace. Yeah. So.
[20:29] Yeah. I'm neutral. I'm neutral. So. He beat the guy. Killed him. But unfortunately. He went home. And he felt like. Thank you. I've been able to defend the people.
[20:41] Unfortunately. The next day. He went back. And now he saw two Israelites fight. You see. Two Israelites fighting. Sometimes.
[20:53] What you didn't like about unbelievers. You might find some about a believer. Because they are all human beings. Be careful. Be careful. Be careful how you treat a believer.
[21:04] So he went to defend. No. He didn't defend a word. He said. Please. You are brothers. Don't fight. And guess what. The one who was in the wrong. He was a trouble causer. He brought it to Moses.
[21:16] But he who did his neighbor wrong. Push. Push the prince. Get out of here. You dare do that to a prince. Do you know why he did it?
[21:26] Because he saw when the prince was murdering somebody. Yeah. Yeah. He's a leader. But he couldn't. Couldn't deal with the guy. Because the guy had information about him.
[21:37] Which has been kept quiet. Yeah. I don't know what information about you people have. That's why when you are dealing with your ex.
[21:50] Sometimes you have to be careful. Because he has pictures of you. He will send it to your family group chat. Some of you have to pray that the information people have about you will not be used against you.
[22:17] Yes. In Isaiah chapter 7 verse 1. He said God was going to deliver Ephraim. Yes.
[22:28] He said. And when I would have healed Israel. Then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered. How many of you have got a job before?
[22:39] They said the job is yours. So they are just doing just checks. Check. Check. Check. DBS. I mean good job. Salary that nobody in your family has ever dreamt of. Good job.
[22:50] And then they are doing DBS check. Then they discovered your iniquity. Everything begins. So you see. They have not. You have not been told that the nonsense you have been doing is going to be used against you one day.
[23:05] One day when you want to be significant in life. It will come up. Especially those of you have been doing fraud. You think. You think they don't know about you. I'm telling you.
[23:15] They know it. They know it. You did frog to buy Balenciaga with an unbalanced life. They know it. Yeah. You use somebody's credit card to book a hotel.
[23:33] One funny thing about the system is they behave like they haven't seen you. They have bigger fish to fry. Some of you. You have been walking with nice knife on you.
[23:43] They know it. There are things behind it. Things that no one has uncovered. Don't think it to remain uncovered. Just tread cautiously. Believe God.
[23:54] And be humble. Be humble. And when you are dealing with others who have offended you. Remember. You have things that have not been uncovered yet. Yeah. You have done abortion.
[24:08] Wait. Who knows whether it's going to affect your fertility. So you have come to church. People. Yeah. Sometimes church people have offended you. Keep quiet.
[24:19] It doesn't matter. Let me serve God. Because I don't have a clean bill of health. Let me serve God. God will have mercy on me. So that my iniquity doesn't get uncovered. Moses.
[24:32] I feel like I'm preaching. I'm preaching. Moses. Moses. You still have your degree. But the plagiarism thing. You think they are not aware. You are about to graduate.
[24:50] Church. Church. Church. Church. Church. Church. If I were you.
[25:04] If I were you. Let me talk about a Nigerian woman. Hey. If I were you. If I were you. If I were you. If I were you. As I'm sitting down.
[25:14] The pastor is preaching. I'll be humble. I'll be humble. Because there are skeletons in my wardrobe. You have kept cocaine in your back for boys before.
[25:26] Yes. Yes. Cocaine. Quite powder substance. For some boy. Your former boyfriend. The one in prison. And at the moment. He has hidden something with you.
[25:38] He says when he comes out of prison. You know. We are best friends for life. And you are sitting in church.
[25:50] Having funny attitude towards that pastor. That. Do I care? Ah. But.
[26:01] I want. I would have healed Israel. When I was just going through. Listen. Put your name. Hosea. When I would have healed Israel. Then. Why must it be at that time?
[26:11] Then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered. The wickedness of Samaria. For they have committed fraud. Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Yes.
[26:29] A thief comes in. And a band of robbers take the spoil outside. When it was your turn to be blessed. When it was your turn to marry. Mm-hmm.
[26:44] Yeah. Yeah. Moses. Because of the skeletons in his wardrobe. He was trying to do something good. But the one who was offended.
[26:56] And the one who was in the wrong. Is usually those who are in the wrong. Who make a lot of noise. And attack. People in the purpose of God. I'm not mad.
[27:07] I went through church abuse. You yourself. You were the pastor abuser. Anyway. So Moses. Let's just.
[27:18] Let's just. Enjoy. Enjoy the stories. Are you enjoying the Bible story? So. That's a nice movie. Isn't it? So. So. Moses.
[27:30] He attempted to go and defend them. He said. You are brothers. Don't fight. Let's go. He said. Then the next day. He appeared. He appeared to two of them.
[27:41] The next day. He appeared to two of them. As they were fighting. And tried to reconcile them. Saying. Man. You are brethren. Why do you wrong one another?
[27:54] But the one who was in the wrong. He said. Who. Watch this. Don't forget this statement. That guy's statement was very powerful. He said.
[28:05] Who made you. A ruler. And a judge over us. You know. He didn't have a mandate from God. God.
[28:15] But because of his privilege in life. His experience. His ability. He thought he could use his ability to do God's work. You don't do God's work because of your training.
[28:30] You don't do God's work because you have an ability. You don't do God's work. You don't do God's work. So. When you were in the world. You used to organize events. You were event organizer. And you've done big program.
[28:42] Projects. So once you have come today. You should make you head of usher. Excuse me. Even an usher. It takes a mandate. So the guy asked him a question.
[28:52] Who made you a ruler. And a judge of our ass. Then he flamed the thing on him. That's. Don't forget that statement. Who made you a ruler. Then he said the guy. Look at what the guy told to him. Do you want to kill me like you did the Egyptian yesterday?
[29:10] Moses realized that. I taught this thing in the past. You didn't do the GCSE mass. You wait. You think the GCSE English is in the past?
[29:27] Wait. You start looking for a good job. You think you're doing it against your mom. Man, there you go. If you're not careful.
[29:38] You'll be 40 years and you don't have a good job. All right. Let's go back to Moses. So. You want to kill me like you killed the Egyptian yesterday. And then what happened?
[29:48] When he heard this. He fled. At this scene. Can you imagine? That statement. The guy ran out of town. He left town. Prince. A whole prince.
[29:59] He left town. He left town. He left town. Because he knew that Pharaoh would come after him. You murdered an Egyptian for an Israelite.
[30:12] I thought you were a prince. And Pharaoh would say, with all I've done for you. You are ungrateful. Guys. Take him and torture him and kill him. Moses said, I have to run out of town.
[30:24] You know what? He thought he could do God's work. Because of his education. Because of his privileges. Because of his money. Because of. Don't think if you have money, you can help the church.
[30:35] Your money can never help church. God doesn't need one person to help. God has never asked for anybody's help. Never. He said, if I was hungry.
[30:46] Will I come to you? Yes. Psalm 51. He said, the hill. The castle on a thousand hills. It's mine. If I was hungry, I won't come to you. So if I'm asking you something, it's not because I'm hungry.
[30:59] It's because your destiny is hungry. I want a platform. A reason to bless you. I want you to. Usually when God wants to bless you, he'll give you an instruction.
[31:13] So Moses. Moses left and went to Midian. He ran away. He fled. Bible said. Love. He said, at that same. At this same, Moses fled and became a dweller.
[31:27] Some translations say he became a fugitive. Hey, Moses. He lost all his royal privileges. Moses. If he had remembered. Maybe he would have.
[31:37] If he had married an American and go to America. That would have been easier. He loves. Oh. Moses. Moses. Ah. Moses fled and became a dweller in Eman.
[31:48] And Eman. Where he had two sons. But after 40 years. Ah. When he was. When 40 years had passed. An angel of the Lord appeared to him.
[32:00] In a flame of bush. 40 years. It doesn't matter how long it takes. If God wants to use you. As long as you have not cut God off.
[32:11] He will come. Oh. If God wants to use you. Yeah. After 40 years. When 40 years had passed. An angel of the Lord.
[32:21] I told you about the angel of the Lord. Remember. Appeared to him in a flame of fire. In a bush. In a. In the wilderness of Mount Sinai. You think you are in the wilderness. But God will come. Not.
[32:33] Not. Your location is not a problem for God. Yeah. It's your position in the spirit. The next one. And then Moses went there. And then. Let's go to verse 40.
[32:43] 34. Look at 34. God said to Moses. I've surely. I've surely seen the operation of my people. Who are in Egypt. I've heard they have grown.
[32:54] Rowning. And have come down to deliver them. Watch this. Listen to me. Those people who say. Yeah. I just. It's God I'm serving.
[33:06] I'm here for God. It's God. It's just that you don't understand things. God also uses sockets. It's just next to you. You use ordinary human being.
[33:17] God appeared to Moses. Watch this. And he said. Me God. I have seen the affliction of my people. In Egypt. I've heard. He said. I've seen the operation of my people.
[33:28] Who are in Egypt. I've heard they are going. Oh. Oh. Oh. Who told you God doesn't hear those deep things you go through. Those deep challenges.
[33:40] Some of you. Sometimes. You can't even sleep at night. You are crying. God. Help me. God hears it. God. That's why he sent me to come and talk to you about this fraud. God hears it.
[33:55] One of the things that can break a person's heart is when you love your mother. You love your father. And they are fighting. See your mother and father are fighting. Your mother is crying. And it's so too much.
[34:06] I can't take it anymore. I can't take it. And you can't sort it out. Because it's bigger than you. And you're a Christian. Every time you go home. You're sad. You don't want to go home. Because there's too much tension.
[34:18] You know. People go through things. People. People go through things. But God sees. The Bible says that we do not have a high priest. Hebrews chapter 11. Chapter 4. Verse 15.
[34:29] Said. For we do not have a high priest. Who cannot be touched by the feelings of our infirmities. That means our high priest can be touched by what?
[34:42] By what? By what? Oh, come on. We have not. We have not an high priest.
[34:53] So two negatives. Give us New King James. It's better, please. New King James. For we do not have a high priest. Who cannot sympathize with our weakness.
[35:05] That means we have a high priest who can sympathize. But when you look at the King James. I like the way he puts it.
[35:15] He said. We do not. For we do not have a King James. We do not have a high priest. Who cannot be touched with the feelings. But it's the feelings that touch him.
[35:29] You remember. You remember in Mark chapter 5. Jesus was going. He said. Somebody touch me. Touch me. Who touched me? Jesus. Stop. He said. Mark chapter 5.
[35:40] Verse 30 or so. He said. Verse 20. For she was. No, no, no. Jesus said. Who touched me? She came behind and touched him. Jesus. Jesus stopped. And verse 30. He says that.
[35:51] Jesus immediately stopped. No interest. And he said. Who touched my clothes? Who touched me? When you touch me, you can't keep going. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Nobody touch him.
[36:04] And he stopped. Peter says. Okay. We have to go. There are a lot of people who are thronging you in church. Shout. He said. No. Somebody has touched me. Now. We don't touch him because it is not physical. We don't touch him with our physical hands.
[36:17] You know what touches him? The feelings of our infirmities. Wow. Wow. The feelings. Not the infirmities. But the feelings. Wow. The thing that is breaking your heart.
[36:28] The feeling. The feelings of your infirmities. He said. Our hybrids can be touched by their feelings.
[36:43] So when you are going through something. That's why you have to learn to pray. Yeah. Learn to pray. It's not everything you can. Somebody can help you.
[36:53] There are some things. If God doesn't do it. God doesn't help you. Girl. You are in deep trouble. Boy. There are some things. If God does not help you. You are in trouble. When you look at what's going on in your family.
[37:05] When you look at your mother's situation. Look at your younger sister. Look at your brother. Your brother is tearing the whole family apart. Your mother can't take it.
[37:16] Let's pray. She doesn't become hypertensive. High blood pressure. Because she can't take this anymore. Your dad is not around.
[37:27] And usually when the dad is not around. The boys can't terrorize their mothers. Yeah. In their teenage. Latter teenage years. I know I'm talking about some of you.
[37:39] But we do not have a high priest. Who cannot be touched. By the feelings of your infirmities. God is raising you.
[37:49] So your children will not suffer what you suffered. And you see when God comes in. He compensates for your inadequacies. I don't see why you have so much inadequacies in your life.
[38:06] And you will not seek God. Girl is not smart. Listen. Listen. Can you imagine you were born. And you grew up.
[38:17] Not having both parents together. Under one roof. What can you do? Don't believe in and say. That's for me. I'm sad. I'm unfortunate.
[38:27] Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Let me tell you. You are likely to even have a better advantage. Than someone else. Because God can use your exclusive situation. To make a statement.
[38:40] When it comes to who God can use. No one is disqualified. Those who think they have all the boxes ticked. Usually God doesn't choose them.
[38:54] Say. Why would God. Why. Say. Why would God choose. Him that used to be the wife of Uriah.
[39:06] To be the mother of the next kid. David had different wives. Michal. Michal never had a child. Meanwhile. She was married.
[39:18] She was given in marriage to David. David had wives. Why wouldn't God use. One of these proper wives. But God use.
[39:29] Somebody else's. Who used. A woman who used to be somebody else's wife. Who David murdered. Because. He went to sleep with her. She got pregnant. And David couldn't cover it.
[39:39] And this is bad news. So. Trapped it. And murdered the guy. And when the guy died. Said. Now I can marry you. Because you're a fine girl. Can marry you.
[39:51] And God was very upset with David. David. How could you do this. This is immoral. To the highest level. David. You pay for this.
[40:02] And David came to his senses. He said. God. Forgive me. I've sinned. I've sinned. You see. When it's a good person. When you are godly. You might not be perfect.
[40:12] But you easily. You don't struggle to repent. That's right. Yeah. When the preaching comes. You don't struggle to repent. But because Satan has dominated your heart. You are not godly.
[40:23] You are so godless. Preaching rather offends you. That's where I'm going. Preaching that should save you. Is offending you. And killing you. Because of the state of your heart.
[40:37] David said. God. Oh no. Someone will be sitting there. He says to David. Useless man. He's doing music. Singing to God. God has got him out. But David repeated it. God never cut him out.
[40:50] And rather. The irony of it. God rather. That woman. Her son becomes. The next king. To be. In the genealogy of Jesus.
[41:01] Oh no. This. I can't think far. This is a major conundrum. Why God. And when they are giving. The genealogy of Jesus. In Matthew chapter 1.
[41:14] Verse 5. The Bible says that. King David. The Bible says that. And Solomon begat Boaz. Of. Recap. And Boaz begat Obed. Of Ruth.
[41:24] And Obed begat Jesse. And verse 6. And Jesse begat David the king. And David the king begat Solomon. Of her. That had been somebody's wife. I didn't. It's like.
[41:36] The Bible is aware. It's aware. But I said. Don't worry. Come. I'll go. I'll work with you. Hey. Hey. Your history. Is not. The reason. Why you'll be disqualified.
[41:48] The state of your heart. And your direction. Is what will disqualify you. When it comes to God. It's your heart condition. And your direction. That will disqualify you. Not your history. You can. It can be. Wildest criminal.
[41:58] And God can make you. One of the greatest preachers. So. Rather. Humble yourself. And come to God. And ask. How would you use. Me.
[42:09] If it was me. I will not use. I will not use Solomon. No. No. It's bad press. I will. It's bad press. It's bad press. Social media will go manic. Solomon.
[42:20] God. Choose somebody. But God said. It's not just Solomon. He's going to be king. He's going to be the one. Through whom I'm going to come on earth. The special. The special divine line.
[42:32] The line of Jesus. I'm going to add Solomon. God. Please a mistake. It's not a mistake. Solomon is not a mistake. His father could have made a mistake. But him Solomon is not a mistake.
[42:45] So don't rule out yourself. Well. So. Moses. This is interesting. Acts chapter 7 verse 34. I've seen the oppression of my people.
[42:59] And I've heard their groaning. And have come down to deliver them. Okay. Go on. If you have come down to deliver them. Do it. Think about this. God said I'm coming to deliver.
[43:10] You came already. Then do it. But he said. And now come. I will send. For what? What am I going to do in Egypt? Am I fugitive? I'm running away.
[43:22] Yeah. I'm coming to deliver my people. But I tried to do it. It didn't work. You're sending me. But God. If you have come down. Why don't you do it yourself? God said. No. I don't. I don't do my. I don't do anything on earth myself. I just use human beings.
[43:33] Some of them will be imperfect. Some of them will be imperfect like you Moses. You are an ex-convict. You've. You actually made it to somebody. But I want to use you.
[43:45] Me? Yeah. Because I just use who is available and willing. Are you interested? Moses said. No. No. Now look at the next verse. 35. It's an interesting thing.
[43:56] You remember what the gentleman told him when he ran away? What did the gentleman say? Who made you. No. Who made you. Verse. Verse 27.
[44:06] Who made you a ruler and a judge of ours? Look at verse 37. 35. I'm sorry. 35. Verse 35. This Moses. Who they rejected. Saying. Who made you a ruler and a judge?
[44:18] Is there one God sent to be? Why? The destiny was pointing that he'll be a ruler. But he thought it was his education.
[44:32] His social privileges that were entitled to do it. So he tried to use it when he had it. And the people rejected who made you a ruler. He didn't have a mandate. He didn't have a mandate.
[44:44] If you want to do anything for God. Wait. Humble yourself for a mandate. Why? Michael. This thing I'm doing. It's not because I've been to Bible school and I've learned how to say.
[44:56] No. It's a mandate from heaven. Because if you call yourself. You have to supply your own anointing. But when God calls you.
[45:07] He'll give you an anointing. If you don't wait for God to call you and give you a mandate. You'll end up calling on God. Mandate. How come I'm able to pray for people and they are healed?
[45:22] How come I'm able to speak and I said. I saw this is going on. You know that this is going on. And they are shocked. How did you know? And even me I didn't know that. How come? It's a mandate at work. And the fact that I can see visions.
[45:34] I can see dreams. Doesn't mean I have mandates. You can have a vision and dream to share with some people. But that doesn't mean you have a mandate to lead a church. No it takes a unique mandate.
[45:48] Mandate. You will go and lead a church and people will be dying. You go you don't have a mandate. And then you'll be the last one to go.
[46:03] Yeah. No no no. This is not true. Moses. Moses. The one who. The people said. Rejected. They rejected.
[46:14] This Moses. Not a different Moses. This same Moses. This same Moses. Whom they rejected. Saying. Whom they the other ruler of the church. Is this.
[46:25] Is the one God sent to be a ruler of the deliverer. By the. This time an angel has got involved. By the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
[46:38] His encounters mandated him to go and do that. Well that's nice story. So Moses brought them out. And then. He built a tabernacle. And then David.
[46:49] Came on the scene. Because he raised Saul. And Saul didn't please God. So when he replaced him. He removed him. And brought David. And David became their king. And David pleased God.
[47:00] And desired to build God a house. Wow. That's interesting. I like the story of David. And David found favor before God. And asked to find. To find a dwelling place from the God.
[47:10] David said. King James. How does King James put it? Verse 46. King James. And he found favor before God. And desired. Come on. Shadahai. I like that one.
[47:21] He desired. I want to. I want to do this. Don't let anybody. Talk you out. From a glorious desire. God put in your heart.
[47:31] To do something for his house. Don't let anyone put you. Because that is what will put you. On the map. On the. The. The. The land mark. Of. God's move. David.
[47:43] The reason why David is who he is. Was this thing that he desired. That I want to build a church. The house of God in the church. David said. He desired. To find. A tabernacle.
[47:54] You remember how God created man. Habitation. So David desired to have a habitation. Something that can house God on this earth. God. At that time.
[48:05] There's no structure in that house. No permanent structure. Only tents. Only tents. Only tents. And he entered David's house. Said look. I live in a good house. I have a good job now. I'm being paid well.
[48:16] Why. Don't I even make. Big donations. David. Said. Don't let anyone talk you out of. Sowing into. Your pastor's life. I do it.
[48:29] I do it. And he's helping me. Oh yes. Oh yes. Oh yes. There's a covenant blessing. So David. He desired.
[48:42] Go back. Oh. Let's go to. Yeah. He found. And David desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. Why didn't he say God of Abraham?
[48:56] Why didn't he say God of Isaac? Because the first mention of someone attempting to build a house for God was Jacob. Jacob.
[49:07] Genesis chapter 28 verse 12. And he slept in a place called Luz. He took one of the stones there as a pillow. And when he slept, he dreamt and saw a ladder which top reached to the heaven, the bottom on the earth.
[49:22] And angels were ascending and descending, ascending and descending. And verse 13 said God stood at the end. Oh my God. The Lord stood above it and said, I'm the God of Abraham, your father and God of Isaac, the land which you are lying, I'll give it to you.
[49:37] And God gave him all the promises. And when Jacob woke up at 16, he said, what? God was here. And I did not. You see, you can sit in the church and God comes and you go and you didn't realize he came.
[49:50] He woke up and said, what? God was here and I did not know. Really? Really? God can be here and you will not know.
[50:02] Because you are so skeptical. You are so cynical. All right. It is God. I have a question. You know, it is God. Where did Adam get his, came get his wife?
[50:13] That pediatric, this is pediatric. This baby talk, please, please. We are talking about serious matter. Some of the things you think you have a hard question because you are Muslim who are telling you that the Bible is going to tradition itself.
[50:25] So Jesus said, flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. That's what Jesus said. And that by himself, he went to heaven with his body. So how, you see, the Bible is contradicting itself.
[50:35] This. And I did not know. And watch what he said. He said, this is none other place but what?
[50:47] But what? But Bethel, the house of God. He said, how he was afraid and he said, how awesome is this place. This is none other than the house of God.
[51:00] Joseph, Jacob was the first person ever in history who mentioned that phrase, the house of God. Has God got a house? Has God got a house?
[51:11] So, because when you connect your heart to the house of God, you have connected yourself into the nerve system of God. So, that's why God called Abraham.
[51:22] Because, why did God create human beings? Because he wanted a house. A habitation. And Adam sinned and it's like God was homeless.
[51:33] That's why he was found in the bush. Oh, come on. He called Moses. He called Moses to go to Egypt and bring him a people out.
[51:45] Ecclesia. Call them out. Exodus. Bring them out. That's when they became a people of God. While they were in Egypt, they were not yet formed. It's in your Bible. He sent them into Egypt where they became.
[51:58] They went into Egypt. Only a few souls. But when they were coming, they were millions. They said, tell my Pharaoh, let my people go that they will worship. But where was God?
[52:09] He was homeless. So, the only place he could meet Moses was in the bush. God didn't make the earth to dwell in bush. Bible says God appeared to Moses in the bush.
[52:24] So, when Moses was blessed, he said, the blessings of the one who dwells in the bush. Let me take you a little bit further. How the original Hebrew that was translated bush in some translation is thorn bush.
[52:43] Thorn bush. Thorn bush. Thorn bush. It's bush with thorns. If you are like roses, you touch it. Thorn bush. Thorn bush.
[52:54] And that was reflective of man. Because the Bible says that the earth, from the earth, it shall grow thorn. That's why he says when he was going to the cross, they put the crown of thorns upon him.
[53:04] Because thorn bush. Man has become thorn. Thorn. Thorn. Thorn bush. God created man to dwell in man. But man has become thorn. And so, when Moses in Deuteronomy was blessing them, he said, from the one who dwells in the thorn bush.
[53:21] The blessings. He said that with the precious things of the... Put him back. Is it the one that said he dwells in the bush? With the precious things of the earth and his fullness and favor of him that dwells in the bush.
[53:34] Where does God dwell at that time Moses met him? In the bush. So, God said, I need a people so they can be a house for me. Watch this.
[53:46] So, Jacob had the dream and woke up and said, this is none other place but the house of God. And they said, it's the house of God. So, what did he do? Hey, the first person. The first person who attempted to build the church was Jacob.
[54:03] And he... Look at the verse 18. And the stone that he used as a pillow. He turned into a pillar. Ah. Then Jacob rose in the morning.
[54:15] And he took the stone which he had put at his head. Set it up as a pillar. And poured oil on it. He attempted to build. You can't do it. Watch this. Watch this. Watch this. Can I go a little bit further?
[54:27] That makes it feel like I'mibo? Do you want to know?ah. Bible says that Jesus Christ. Did you join in John chapter 1? Oh. I know you like John chapter 1. I like John chapter 1.
[54:40] Very soon I want to be known as the pastor of John chapter 1. In John chapter 1, verse 36, John the Baptist saw Jesus and said, Behold, looking at Jesus walking, he said, Behold the Lamb of God.
[54:53] And two of his disciples, verse 37, when they heard this, they went and followed Jesus. Verse 38, look at what's going to happen. Verse 38, and then Jesus turned and said, What do you seek?
[55:03] They said unto you, Rabbi, which is to the teacher, where are you staying? He said, Come and see. And they spent one night with him. They didn't even have overnight bag, but they managed to come and see.
[55:15] And they remained there with him that day. The next day, this is where I'm going. Look at this. The next day, one of the people who followed him is called Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He went to Simon Peter and told him.
[55:27] He brought him to Jesus. So he first found his brother and said to him, We have found the Messiah, which is translated to Christ. And when Peter got to Jesus, listen to what Jesus said. And he brought him to Jesus.
[55:38] Now when Jesus looked at him, he said, You are Simon, son of Judah. You shall be called savers, which is? Stone. Stone.
[55:52] For what? For what? So it was Peter, who in 1 Peter, he says that we have come to 1 Peter 2, verse 5. Jesus Christ is the precious cornerstone.
[56:03] He says, and then he said, You, verse 4, Jesus is the precious. He said, You also, we the church, you individual, as living stones. Me, I'm a stone. Yes. Because it takes stones to build the house of God.
[56:14] So it was, ah, I feel like preaching. It's there. It's there. You as living stones, I've been built into a spiritual house. Ah! Stone, stone, stone, stone.
[56:28] When you are born again, you are a stone. For what? For the building of Gaza. So Jacob, when he had the encounters, he looked for the stone and took the stone and set it as a pillar and poured oil on it and he called the place Bethel, which means the house of God.
[56:49] Ah! He called the place Bethel. So Jacob, he called the place Bethel. Jacob, the first ever human being who attempted to build what God has always wanted.
[57:03] His ghost, is Jacob. So David, when he found favor before God, he desired to build a house for the God of... Jacob! Jacob! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Somebody shout, Hallelujah!
[57:18] Hallelujah! He found favor before God and desired to find a tabernacle for the house and for the God of Jacob. But it was Solomon.
[57:30] Solomon. Ah! But Solomon built it. So, okay. Then the house, they did want it to be, a physical house.
[57:42] So Solomon built it. But Stephen said, oh, excuse me. However, the most high does not dwell in... So that means, if God is looking for a house, who can build a house for him?
[57:57] So Jacob attempted to build it because he is the... God is the God of Jacob. That's why Israel started with him. Then David, when he became the greatest king, greatest king ever, Israel has ever had.
[58:11] He was successful in everything. He was wealthy. He said, ah, Nathan, come. I want to build God a house. Then God said, tell David, no, no, no, you can't build me a house. You can't build me a house.
[58:22] That is how Jesus became the son of David. He said, you cannot build me a house. Why? Because how can a human being build me a house? Do you know the argument God raised in 2 Samuel, in 2 Samuel chapter 7?
[58:38] God said from verse 8, he said, when I delivered the people from Israel and I raised leaders, I raised rulers, put it there, 2 Samuel chapter 7. Oh, is it not chapter 7? It should be chapter 7.
[58:48] 2 Samuel chapter 7, he said, when I have moved, he said, wherever I have moved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribe of Israel who I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, why have you not built me a house of cedar?
[59:07] I've never asked for it. So this has never been part of the job description of any leader I've raised because no one can build for me, even though that's all I'm looking for.
[59:19] So look at the next verse. The next verse, verse 8. Is someone telling me something? Now therefore, that shall thou say to David my servant, this is what God is saying, the Lord of Hope, I took you from the sheepfold, from following sheep to be ruler over my people Israel.
[59:40] Over my people, over Israel. The next verse. And I have been with you wherever you have gone and I've cut off all. So when David was getting the victories, it was actually God who was doing it.
[59:52] He said, I have cut off all your enemies. Why do you think God can do it for you? I have cut off all your enemies from before you and I've made you a great name like the name of the great men who are on the earth.
[60:07] The next verse. Moreover, I will appoint a place for my people Israel and I will plant them that they may, that's what's going to be the story of Caris. And they'll dwell in the place of their own and move.
[60:22] No, no, shall the sound of wickedness oppress them anymore as previously.
[60:34] So God said, I have plans. I will establish my people. But look at what he said next. More, the next verse. Since the time I, watch this, I commanded judges to be over my people Israel and have called you to rest from all your enemies.
[60:49] Now, it says, also the Lord tells you, that he will make you a house. So what happened was that Nathan, David called for Nathan and said, Nathan, look at where I live.
[61:01] Look at the tabernacle. It's intense. No, I want to build a house for God. And then Nathan said, that's a good idea. He said, go on. He said, man of God will encourage you to do the work of God. But that night, God appeared to Nathan.
[61:12] He said, go and tell David that no, he can't build for me. God, God said, go and tell myself and David, that's yes, the Lord. Will you build a house for me to dwell in you? For I have not dwelt in a house since the time I brought the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in tents and tabernacle.
[61:34] You want to build me a house, David? So verse 11, God said, you want to build me a house? Tell David, I will build you a house. I also tell, I said, you think, verse one, David was living in a house of cedar.
[61:48] Now, it came to pass when the king was dwelling in his house. Did he have a house? Why did God say, I'll build you a house? He thought he didn't need a house.
[62:01] But God said, you know what? You are still uncovered. He said, I will build you, I'll make you a house. Look at the next verse. When your days are fulfilled, when you die, he raised your fathers.
[62:14] I will set up your seed after you. Who will come from your body? I will establish, watch this, watch this, watch this. He said, when you are dead, when your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, when you have rested with your fathers, I will.
[62:33] So it's long after you are dead. He's not Solomon. Solomon was in the lifetime of David. But he said, when you are dead and God, I will set up your seed after you.
[62:45] Who will come from your body? I will establish his kingdom. Watch this. I'm raising a case it can't be Solomon. I will establish his kingdom. Next verse, please. I will establish his kingdom. He.
[63:01] And I will do what? For how long? Why Solomon's kingdom? He said, some body is coming from your body.
[63:16] David, you want to build me a house? That's all I've looked for. If you touch the church, God will touch you. If you curse the church, God will double curse you.
[63:31] Nobody ever fights the church and lives peacefully. Saul! Saul! Acts chapter 9 verse 5, verse 4. So, why are you persecuting me?
[63:43] He said, who are you, Lord? Verse 5, he said, I am Jesus of Nazareth. I am Jesus. I am Jesus. Who you are persecuting. He said, I will touch you. He said, if you touch the church, you are touching me.
[63:56] And he says that, David, I will build you. When you die, I will establish the kingdom of you. He said, he, a son of David, is going to build a house for me.
[64:07] Jesus of Nazareth, thou son of David. It's a mezzanine title.
[64:19] He said, your son shall build the house for me. Look at verse 14. That tells you it's not Solomon. Verse 14. He says that, I will be his father.
[64:30] Watch this. And he shall be that's what Jesus said in Matthew chapter 20, 22, verse 41.
[64:42] The Christ, whose son is he? Now, yes, what do you think about the son?
[64:53] So, he asked him, the Christ. Jesus said, what do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he? That's a very serious question. Do you know what they said? Whose son is he? The son of David. But Jesus said, if he's the son of David, how come David says that the Lord said to my Lord?
[65:11] Because how can his son be his father? How can he, he said, if he's David's Lord, if he's the David's Lord, how can he be his son when David calls him Lord?
[65:26] That's where first, second Samuel chapter 7, verse 14 is. He says that he shall be my son. So, even though he's David's son, in a sense, in the physical, he's God's son.
[65:39] God's, he said, he shall be, I will be his father and he shall be my son. If you commit, this is where God's complicated. But Jesus won't call it, I will chase him with a rod of men and I will blow, I will blow, with the blows of the sons of him.
[65:54] So, I will call it, but that's Solomon's correction. You see, so, it's double reference. It takes the lens of the son. You need the son glasses to be able to read this text and see that the first one is talking about Christ, the second one is talking about Solomon.
[66:15] He said, I will be, God, for the first time, David said, I want to build God a house. God said, David, I'm going to share a son with you. So, in Romans chapter four, chapter one, verse, last week I read, one, two, three, Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, separated for the gospel of God, concerning his son, Jesus Christ our Lord, verse three, verse four, who was born in the flesh, according to the flesh.
[66:40] He said, declare to be the son of God, sorry, let's go to verse three, I'm so sorry, let's go to verse three. It's the best thing I'm looking for. Verse three, concerning his son, Jesus Christ, who was born of the seed of David, according to the flesh.
[66:55] In, in, in Matthew chapter one, Matthew chapter one, verse one, he said, the genealogy of the book of Jesus, the son of David.
[67:06] Then he starts, it's the son of David, the son of Abraham. Then he starts, Abraham begat, they should have said, the son of Abraham, but no, he's a son of David. In Revelation chapter 22, verse 16, Jesus said, I am the roots and the offspring of David.
[67:25] Oh my God. I am the roots. In other words, where David came from, and at the same time, the fruits, what David produced. How can one person be the roots and the fruits?
[67:39] If he's not a mystical figure. But how did David get this? Because one day, he said, I want to build God a house. Stephen said, David desired to build God, build a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
[67:55] But it was Solomon who built it. Verse 48. However, the most high God does not dwell in temples made by him. So how can a human being build a house for God?
[68:09] One of the reasons why you can't build a house for God is that the house of God grows. Yes. How can you build a house that will grow?
[68:23] What apparatus are you going to use to do that? You can plant a tree. You need to grow. But you can't build a house for it to grow. But in Ephesians chapter 2, verse 20, 21, 22.
[68:37] 20 says that being built on the foundation. He said, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ have been the chief connoisseur.
[68:48] 21. 21. In whom this whole building, talking about the church, fitted together, grows into a holy. Ah. This church is, you remember?
[68:58] Ah, Matthew chapter 16, verse 13. Who do men say I am? Verse 16. Peter said, you are the son, he said, you are the Christ, not the son of, uh-oh, not the son of David.
[69:14] Oh. Said, you are the Christ. That's where Islam is struggling to accept that. How can you say Jesus is the son of God? Satan hates it. Satan hates it.
[69:25] He's the son of God. That's what Jehovah says. You can't say he's the son of God. That is where the definition and the determining factor lies. Jesus, if he's not a son of God, his blood cannot save you.
[69:37] Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. He's not a son of God. His blood cannot save us. Our salvation is bogus. We are not saved. Wow. That's why Satan has to fight it.
[69:50] How can you say Jesus is the son of God? He is. Who do men say I am? Who do you say I am? Peter said, thou art the Christ, the son of the living God.
[70:01] The Jews knew that Christ would be the son of David, which was correct. Right? Yes. But they didn't realize that he's also the son of God. And so when Peter said, you are the Christ, the son of the living God, he said, school cannot teach you this.
[70:19] Google cannot tell you this. Church DPT cannot tell you this. It is given to you by my father in heaven. It takes the father to discover you to discover this.
[70:30] So let those who be making noise, let them keep making noise. We have discovered it. Yes, we have. We have discovered it. Jesus said, no one can come to me except the father draws.
[70:41] So when God wants to save you, he will help you to discover that Jesus is the son of God. He says that there are so many things Jesus did that are not written in this book, in the book of John chapter 20, verse 30.
[70:56] So many things Jesus did that are not written in this book. But these things are written that you will believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God. Oh yes. And then in believing that you see, you are supposed to believe that the things that save you and there are so many other things that Jesus did which are not written and if they are written in the book, let's go to the next verse.
[71:19] Truly, Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples which are not written in this book, the next verse. But these are written that you may believe, what are you supposed to believe?
[71:29] That Jesus, one, is the Christ and then the son of God. What? And in believing you might have life. That's the things that, the only thing that you believe to be saved.
[71:41] The only thing that will determine your salvation is when you believe that Jesus is the son of God. Bible says that God has given us eternal life and this eternal life is in his son, Jesus Christ.
[71:56] John, 1 John chapter 5 verse 11 and 12. Whoever has the son has life. That's the testimony that God has given us eternal life and this life is in his son.
[72:10] Ah, hallelujah. Hallelujah. Look at the swan. The swan says that he who, ah, he just didn't say he who has Jesus.
[72:21] He said, if you have the son, you have life. He who has the son has life. He who has the son, who does not have the son of God does not have life.
[72:32] Doesn't matter how intelligent you are. You don't have the life of God. You don't have the life of God. So, Stephen, Stephen, Stephen says that, but the most high does not dwell in temples made by hands.
[72:48] That means you can't be of God. Then when Jesus said, who do you say I am? And Peter said in Matthew chapter 16 verse 16, you are the Christ, the son of the living God. Jesus said, blessed are you, someone by Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you.
[73:01] This is not a matter of research. You can't research to know God. It's not a matter of research. It's a matter of revelation, illumination, and insight. And then he said, watch this, verse 18.
[73:15] He said, I tell you, you are Peter, up on this rock. I will do what? I will do what? I will do what? Build?
[73:26] Jesus, I thought you came to die. Oh, you didn't know. I came to build. What are you coming to build? I'm coming to build my church. What's the church? The house of God.
[73:37] Didn't God tell David, you can't build it? Jesus said, me, I'm a builder. There's only one person who can build a church, not a pastor. No human being can build a church.
[73:50] Same, likewise, no human being can close down a church. No government can close down a church. No, they can attempt it, but they will pay with their, their, their regime.
[74:07] They will go down and the church will rise. Nobody can build a church and no man can close down the church because the church is a supernatural. It's not a human entity.
[74:19] How can you build a building that grows? Let me finish Stephen, Stephen, Stephen. I'd like to talk about Stephen. So he says that, however, the most high God does not dwell in temples made by hands.
[74:34] For he said, then he quoted, God says that, heaven is my throne, the earth is my throne. What house will you build for me? When I sit in heaven and earth is my throne, too. And you want to build a house on earth for me, even my whole foot is on the earth.
[74:53] He said, what house will you build for me? Says the Lord. Or, what is the place of my rest? You can't build a resting place for me. Oh, Stephen, has my hands not made all these things?
[75:07] So you are not the one who are going to build for me. But God, you need a house. I have a plan. Watch this. When he finished saying these things, this is what brought me to this. When he finished saying these things, he was implying that Jesus is the builder.
[75:21] So he left it and he turned it on the people. You stiff-necked people. Stiff-necked and uncircumcised in their hearts and ears.
[75:32] You always resist the Holy Ghost as your fathers did. When you want to marry somebody, check their family background. He said, which stiff-necked people, you always, that's serious, you always resist the Holy Spirit just like your fathers did.
[75:57] then he brings in a historic truth. Which of the prophets did your fathers not steal? He said, which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute?
[76:10] And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Holy One, talking about Jesus. Anyone who spoke about Jesus' coming, they killed him. They go online and lambast him that these churches and all these pastors are fake.
[76:22] This is a cult. It's a cult. Which of them did your fathers? And he said, they killed those who foretold of the coming, foretold of the coming of the just one and of whom you have become the betrayers and the murderers.
[76:41] Oh, yes. They murdered Jesus. That's where I started from. But it was based on the condition of their hearts. It's the condition of their hearts.
[76:52] The Bible says that and they were cut to their heart and they gnashed on their teeth. And when they heard this thing, they were cut to their heart and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
[77:08] A preacher. Preacher, who has preached this nice thing, what kind of state of heart do you have that you charge at him to stone him? See, they charged at him and stoned him and killed him.
[77:23] But when they gnashed their teeth, then Stephen said, Hey! I see the heavens open and I see the sound of man. Look!
[77:35] He said, Look! I see heavens open and the sound of man standing at the right hand of God! What happened?
[77:46] He said, I see heaven. And then they cried out and blocked their ears. You don't want to hear it. And run! What has he done? He summarized everything that happened from Abraham.
[78:00] What have I done? I'm only preaching Jesus to you. And you hate me like something. Pastors, the pastors are all thieves. Tell them, murders are all bad.
[78:13] He said, No, it's not true. Then I tell you, it's not true. And everybody feels they can trust those are pastors. Yes, I know there are some dodgy pastors. I know there are, are there not some dodgy doctors?
[78:26] Are there not some dodgy lawyers? Yes! Yes! Human beings are corrupt anyway.
[78:36] That's it. But it doesn't mean there are no good ones. A lot of people have died through plane crash. But you plan your trip to Morocco, you are still going to fly.
[78:48] Go by road. Stop flying. Go by road. Go by sea. Because plane has crashed and killed some people. It's so, excuse me, I like it, so stupid.
[79:01] Didn't you just say, why are you spending all this money on Jesus? Meanwhile, the Bible says, how beautiful are the ones who preach the gospel.
[79:16] The feet of those who preach the gospel. In other words, when you hear them coming, listen, let me tell you something. Don't hide your excitement about the one God has used to change your story.
[79:26] Yes! which also means, which also means, it's about time.
[79:38] Somebody sit down. You two, you have a phone. Sit down, do your recording. Don't say too much about your past. Because you don't want something to be uncovered. Yeah.
[79:53] Don't say too much about your past. But say about how your past could have been. And through the teachings of this man or after, you don't know whether there's other man of God, a bad man, but you know, you personally, this one, you are a witness.
[80:08] Because, because, Paul said, they are asking for our testimony, our testimony, our evidence is they change lives. If they say it's their God, tell them, if this is what God is about, if God can make me know Jesus, if God can put me on fire for Jesus like this, that I am only.
[80:30] This is not the first time for Christianity to be accused of cults. Of cults. Paul, in Acts chapter 24, verse 14, is there, is there what they call sects?
[80:42] Ah. I confess to you that according to the way which they call sects, I worshiped God of my fathers.
[80:55] Believe you. That's what, they say it's God, but that's the way I'm worshiping God. I found God. I found God. Do your video. Do your short video.
[81:06] Put it up. God. How can someone tell, the man said, whether I say, see now or no, I don't know. One thing I know, I was blind, now I see.
