  • Welcome to our wednesday's
  • 00:00:34.324 --> 00:00:35.492
  • Broadcast of the gospel truth.
  • 00:00:35.492 --> 00:00:37.927
  • I've been sharing for
  • 00:00:37.927 --> 00:00:38.928
  • A week and a half now about
  • 00:00:38.928 --> 00:00:40.597
  • The word became flesh.
  • 00:00:40.597 --> 00:00:42.599
  • This is a series that i have
  • 00:00:42.599 --> 00:00:44.100
  • That was made years ago,
  • 00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:45.535
  • But i tell you,
  • 00:00:45.535 --> 00:00:46.069
  • This is powerful,
  • 00:00:46.069 --> 00:00:47.070
  • Powerful teaching.
  • 00:00:47.070 --> 00:00:48.638
  • And this is the middle of
  • 00:00:48.638 --> 00:00:49.973
  • My second week on this,
  • 00:00:49.973 --> 00:00:51.841
  • And i encourage you to get this.
  • 00:00:51.841 --> 00:00:54.144
  • We're now talking about
  • 00:00:54.210 --> 00:00:55.078
  • We're now talking about the virgin birth of jesus,
  • 00:00:55.145 --> 00:00:57.347
  • The virgin birth of jesus, but actually last week
  • 00:00:57.413 --> 00:00:58.781
  • But actually last week i really dealt with what i call
  • 00:00:58.848 --> 00:01:00.984
  • I really dealt with what i call an extreme error in
  • 00:01:01.050 --> 00:01:03.386
  • An extreme error in the sovereignty of god teaching.
  • 00:01:03.453 --> 00:01:05.788
  • The sovereignty of god teaching. and then i dealt with
  • 00:01:05.855 --> 00:01:06.956
  • And then i dealt with the authority of the believer
  • 00:01:07.023 --> 00:01:08.892
  • The authority of the believer and showed how that these issues
  • 00:01:08.958 --> 00:01:11.494
  • And showed how that these issues are what caused jesus to wait
  • 00:01:11.561 --> 00:01:14.230
  • Are what caused jesus to wait 4,000 years after
  • 00:01:14.297 --> 00:01:16.766
  • 4,000 years after the fall of adam and eve
  • 00:01:16.833 --> 00:01:17.934
  • The fall of adam and eve before he was born.
  • 00:01:18.001 --> 00:01:19.369
  • Before he was born. and then i've also been
  • 00:01:19.435 --> 00:01:20.270
  • And then i've also been talking about how he was born.
  • 00:01:20.336 --> 00:01:23.006
  • Talking about how he was born. some people think,
  • 00:01:23.072 --> 00:01:23.640
  • Some people think, well, who cares?
  • 00:01:23.706 --> 00:01:24.440
  • Well, who cares? he...he's god,
  • 00:01:24.507 --> 00:01:25.508
  • He...he's god, and it was miraculous,
  • 00:01:25.575 --> 00:01:26.576
  • And it was miraculous, and you just accept it
  • 00:01:26.643 --> 00:01:27.677
  • And you just accept it as a miracle.
  • 00:01:27.744 --> 00:01:28.611
  • As a miracle. but if you could understand
  • 00:01:28.678 --> 00:01:29.712
  • But if you could understand how the miracle of
  • 00:01:29.779 --> 00:01:31.714
  • How the miracle of the virgin birth took place,
  • 00:01:31.781 --> 00:01:33.683
  • The virgin birth took place, it would not only bless you
  • 00:01:33.750 --> 00:01:35.351
  • It would not only bless you to see how god operates,
  • 00:01:35.418 --> 00:01:36.686
  • To see how god operates, but it's how you receive
  • 00:01:36.753 --> 00:01:38.288
  • But it's how you receive a miracle.
  • 00:01:38.354 --> 00:01:39.389
  • A miracle. and that's what
  • 00:01:39.455 --> 00:01:39.856
  • And that's what i've been talking about,
  • 00:01:39.923 --> 00:01:40.757
  • I've been talking about, and so, i was speaking about
  • 00:01:40.823 --> 00:01:41.958
  • And so, i was speaking about how that god created
  • 00:01:42.025 --> 00:01:42.992
  • How that god created the first adam
  • 00:01:43.059 --> 00:01:44.794
  • The first adam by speaking his body
  • 00:01:44.861 --> 00:01:45.962
  • By speaking his body into existence,
  • 00:01:46.029 --> 00:01:47.163
  • Into existence, but then he gave him authority
  • 00:01:47.230 --> 00:01:48.631
  • But then he gave him authority over this earth.
  • 00:01:48.698 --> 00:01:49.432
  • Over this earth. and when adam
  • 00:01:49.499 --> 00:01:50.099
  • And when adam gave the authority to the devil,
  • 00:01:50.166 --> 00:01:52.435
  • Gave the authority to the devil, then that meant that god was
  • 00:01:52.502 --> 00:01:53.570
  • Then that meant that god was no longer in direct control
  • 00:01:53.636 --> 00:01:55.572
  • No longer in direct control of what happened.
  • 00:01:55.638 --> 00:01:56.339
  • Of what happened. he had given it to man,
  • 00:01:56.406 --> 00:01:57.473
  • He had given it to man, man had submitted it
  • 00:01:57.540 --> 00:01:58.575
  • Man had submitted it to the devil,
  • 00:01:58.641 --> 00:01:59.475
  • To the devil, and so, god had to
  • 00:01:59.542 --> 00:02:00.443
  • And so, god had to flow through people,
  • 00:02:00.510 --> 00:02:02.178
  • Flow through people, and it took 4,000 years
  • 00:02:02.245 --> 00:02:04.380
  • And it took 4,000 years for him to find enough people
  • 00:02:04.447 --> 00:02:06.449
  • For him to find enough people that would speak
  • 00:02:06.516 --> 00:02:07.250
  • That would speak each a little part of
  • 00:02:07.317 --> 00:02:08.484
  • Each a little part of what needed to be said
  • 00:02:08.551 --> 00:02:10.620
  • What needed to be said in order to cause
  • 00:02:10.687 --> 00:02:11.988
  • In order to cause the body of jesus to be born.
  • 00:02:12.055 --> 00:02:15.291
  • The body of jesus to be born. that's how he created
  • 00:02:15.358 --> 00:02:16.125
  • That's how he created adam's body.
  • 00:02:16.192 --> 00:02:17.060
  • Adam's body. the second adam, jesus,
  • 00:02:17.126 --> 00:02:18.428
  • The second adam, jesus, that's also how created him,
  • 00:02:18.494 --> 00:02:19.862
  • That's also how created him, by speaking him into existence.
  • 00:02:19.929 --> 00:02:21.998
  • By speaking him into existence. and then when the angel gabriel
  • 00:02:22.065 --> 00:02:23.600
  • And then when the angel gabriel appeared unto mary
  • 00:02:23.666 --> 00:02:24.567
  • Appeared unto mary in luke, chapter 1,
  • 00:02:24.634 --> 00:02:26.369
  • In luke, chapter 1, and gave her a proposal
  • 00:02:26.436 --> 00:02:28.571
  • And gave her a proposal about that, you are
  • 00:02:28.638 --> 00:02:29.806
  • About that, you are highly favored.
  • 00:02:29.872 --> 00:02:30.740
  • Highly favored. god wants you to be the virgin
  • 00:02:30.807 --> 00:02:32.875
  • God wants you to be the virgin who would conceive and carry
  • 00:02:32.942 --> 00:02:35.211
  • Who would conceive and carry the body of the lord jesus
  • 00:02:35.278 --> 00:02:37.580
  • The body of the lord jesus to birth.
  • 00:02:37.647 --> 00:02:38.615
  • To birth. she accepted his proposal
  • 00:02:38.681 --> 00:02:40.683
  • She accepted his proposal and said here in
  • 00:02:40.750 --> 00:02:42.285
  • Luke, chapter 1,
  • 00:02:42.352 --> 00:02:44.053
  • Luke, chapter 1, mary responded by saying,
  • 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:45.922
  • Mary responded by saying, so be it unto me
  • 00:02:45.989 --> 00:02:48.024
  • So be it unto me according to thy word.
  • 00:02:48.091 --> 00:02:49.659
  • According to thy word. she humbled herself
  • 00:02:49.726 --> 00:02:50.627
  • She humbled herself and received the word.
  • 00:02:50.693 --> 00:02:51.761
  • And received the word. and i've been using
  • 00:02:51.828 --> 00:02:52.495
  • And i've been using this scripture out of
  • 00:02:52.562 --> 00:02:53.363
  • This scripture out of 1 peter, chapter 1, verse 23,
  • 00:02:53.429 --> 00:02:55.298
  • 1 peter, chapter 1, verse 23, that we are born again,
  • 00:02:55.365 --> 00:02:56.332
  • That we are born again, not of corruptible seed,
  • 00:02:56.399 --> 00:02:57.967
  • Not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible seed,
  • 00:02:58.034 --> 00:02:59.269
  • But of incorruptible seed, by the word of god,
  • 00:02:59.335 --> 00:03:00.570
  • By the word of god, that lives and abides for ever.
  • 00:03:00.637 --> 00:03:02.272
  • God's word is a sperm,
  • 00:03:02.338 --> 00:03:04.407
  • God's word is a sperm, a spiritual sperm.
  • 00:03:04.474 --> 00:03:06.709
  • A spiritual sperm. and when mary humbled herself
  • 00:03:06.776 --> 00:03:08.511
  • And when mary humbled herself and said, alright,
  • 00:03:08.578 --> 00:03:09.345
  • And said, alright, i accept the proposal,
  • 00:03:09.412 --> 00:03:10.546
  • So be it unto me
  • 00:03:10.613 --> 00:03:11.481
  • So be it unto me according to thy word,
  • 00:03:11.547 --> 00:03:12.582
  • According to thy word, then the holy spirit
  • 00:03:12.649 --> 00:03:14.083
  • Came upon her
  • 00:03:14.150 --> 00:03:15.451
  • Came upon her and put the word in her,
  • 00:03:15.518 --> 00:03:17.587
  • And put the word in her, the sperm of the word of god.
  • 00:03:17.654 --> 00:03:19.689
  • The sperm of the word of god. all of these prophecies
  • 00:03:19.756 --> 00:03:20.890
  • All of these prophecies that have been spoken
  • 00:03:20.957 --> 00:03:21.658
  • That have been spoken for 4,000 years
  • 00:03:21.724 --> 00:03:23.192
  • For 4,000 years entered into mary's womb,
  • 00:03:23.259 --> 00:03:25.128
  • Entered into mary's womb, and she conceived.
  • 00:03:25.194 --> 00:03:26.195
  • And she conceived. and the birth of jesus
  • 00:03:26.262 --> 00:03:27.864
  • And the birth of jesus was totally normal
  • 00:03:27.930 --> 00:03:29.766
  • Was totally normal in every respect
  • 00:03:29.832 --> 00:03:31.234
  • In every respect except that a man didn't
  • 00:03:31.301 --> 00:03:33.670
  • Except that a man didn't provide the sperm.
  • 00:03:33.736 --> 00:03:35.238
  • Provide the sperm. the word of god was the sperm.
  • 00:03:35.305 --> 00:03:38.641
  • The word of god was the sperm. man, i don't know about you,
  • 00:03:38.708 --> 00:03:39.709
  • Man, i don't know about you, but that just blesses me
  • 00:03:39.776 --> 00:03:41.210
  • But that just blesses me to understand that god,
  • 00:03:41.277 --> 00:03:43.913
  • To understand that god, almighty god
  • 00:03:43.980 --> 00:03:45.348
  • Almighty god created certain laws
  • 00:03:45.415 --> 00:03:47.216
  • Created certain laws and he didn't violate the laws.
  • 00:03:47.283 --> 00:03:49.686
  • And he didn't violate the laws. he was conformed to
  • 00:03:49.752 --> 00:03:50.853
  • He was conformed to his own laws.
  • 00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:51.521
  • His own laws. he had to speak through people
  • 00:03:51.587 --> 00:03:53.256
  • He had to speak through people what he could for 4,000 years,
  • 00:03:53.323 --> 00:03:55.325
  • What he could for 4,000 years, and then he actually
  • 00:03:55.391 --> 00:03:57.060
  • And then he actually brought this body
  • 00:03:57.126 --> 00:03:58.761
  • Brought this body that jesus inhabited into being
  • 00:03:58.828 --> 00:04:01.998
  • That jesus inhabited into being through a natural process.
  • 00:04:02.065 --> 00:04:03.966
  • Through a natural process. but the word of god
  • 00:04:04.033 --> 00:04:05.335
  • But the word of god was the sperm instead of
  • 00:04:05.401 --> 00:04:06.703
  • Was the sperm instead of a man supplying the seed.
  • 00:04:06.769 --> 00:04:08.571
  • A man supplying the seed. boy, that blesses me,
  • 00:04:08.638 --> 00:04:09.539
  • Boy, that blesses me, and it gives me understanding
  • 00:04:09.605 --> 00:04:12.408
  • And it gives me understanding about how i conceive
  • 00:04:12.475 --> 00:04:14.877
  • About how i conceive the word of god.
  • 00:04:14.944 --> 00:04:15.545
  • The word of god. and this is what
  • 00:04:15.611 --> 00:04:16.112
  • And this is what so many people miss.
  • 00:04:16.179 --> 00:04:18.648
  • So many people miss. they just think that miracles
  • 00:04:18.715 --> 00:04:20.016
  • They just think that miracles just drop out of the sky,
  • 00:04:20.083 --> 00:04:21.451
  • Just drop out of the sky, that god chooses to bless one,
  • 00:04:21.517 --> 00:04:23.319
  • That god chooses to bless one, chooses not to bless another.
  • 00:04:23.386 --> 00:04:24.787
  • Chooses not to bless another. he heals one, but he...
  • 00:04:24.854 --> 00:04:25.888
  • He heals one, but he... it was his will for you
  • 00:04:25.955 --> 00:04:27.056
  • It was his will for you not to be healed.
  • 00:04:27.123 --> 00:04:28.691
  • Not to be healed. no, there's laws,
  • 00:04:28.758 --> 00:04:29.625
  • No, there's laws, there's things that control
  • 00:04:29.692 --> 00:04:31.260
  • There's things that control how god operates.
  • 00:04:31.327 --> 00:04:32.795
  • How god operates. they're god-given laws.
  • 00:04:32.862 --> 00:04:33.996
  • They're god-given laws. god's the one that created them.
  • 00:04:34.063 --> 00:04:35.365
  • God's the one that created them. it's not like anybody else
  • 00:04:35.431 --> 00:04:36.733
  • It's not like anybody else is the one that's imposing
  • 00:04:36.799 --> 00:04:37.967
  • Is the one that's imposing these restrictions on him,
  • 00:04:38.034 --> 00:04:39.936
  • These restrictions on him, but he restricted himself.
  • 00:04:40.002 --> 00:04:42.238
  • But he restricted himself. he limits himself to his word
  • 00:04:42.305 --> 00:04:44.607
  • He limits himself to his word and doing what his word says.
  • 00:04:44.674 --> 00:04:46.676
  • Over in romans, chapter 3,
  • 00:04:46.743 --> 00:04:48.044
  • Over in romans, chapter 3, i believe it's verse 27,
  • 00:04:48.111 --> 00:04:49.579
  • I believe it's verse 27, it says, where is boasting then?
  • 00:04:49.645 --> 00:04:51.214
  • It says, where is boasting then? is it...it is excluded.
  • 00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:52.382
  • Is it...it is excluded. by what law?
  • 00:04:52.448 --> 00:04:53.416
  • By what law? of works?
  • 00:04:53.483 --> 00:04:54.083
  • Of works? nay: but by the law of faith.
  • 00:04:54.150 --> 00:04:57.086
  • Did you know faith has laws
  • 00:04:57.153 --> 00:04:59.222
  • Did you know faith has laws that govern it?
  • 00:04:59.288 --> 00:05:00.823
  • That govern it? and most people
  • 00:05:00.890 --> 00:05:01.424
  • And most people don't understand that.
  • 00:05:01.491 --> 00:05:02.325
  • Don't understand that. they think, well, god could
  • 00:05:02.392 --> 00:05:03.393
  • They think, well, god could do anything he wanted to.
  • 00:05:03.459 --> 00:05:04.427
  • Do anything he wanted to. if god wanted to,
  • 00:05:04.494 --> 00:05:05.261
  • If god wanted to, he could have healed this
  • 00:05:05.328 --> 00:05:06.195
  • He could have healed this person, but he let them die.
  • 00:05:06.262 --> 00:05:08.131
  • Person, but he let them die. it's not true.
  • 00:05:08.197 --> 00:05:09.432
  • It's not true. god has restricted his flow
  • 00:05:09.499 --> 00:05:13.102
  • God has restricted his flow in this earth
  • 00:05:13.169 --> 00:05:15.138
  • In this earth to flowing through people.
  • 00:05:15.204 --> 00:05:17.306
  • To flowing through people. he gave control and authority
  • 00:05:17.373 --> 00:05:18.841
  • He gave control and authority over this earth to people,
  • 00:05:18.908 --> 00:05:20.543
  • Over this earth to people, and he will not operate
  • 00:05:20.610 --> 00:05:22.278
  • And he will not operate in this earth
  • 00:05:22.345 --> 00:05:23.479
  • In this earth independent of people.
  • 00:05:23.546 --> 00:05:26.249
  • Independent of people. i know that that's offensive
  • 00:05:26.315 --> 00:05:27.283
  • I know that that's offensive to some people,
  • 00:05:27.350 --> 00:05:28.084
  • To some people, but i can back that up
  • 00:05:28.151 --> 00:05:29.285
  • But i can back that up by the word of god.
  • 00:05:29.352 --> 00:05:29.952
  • By the word of god. i've already said
  • 00:05:30.019 --> 00:05:30.686
  • I've already said some of these things.
  • 00:05:30.753 --> 00:05:31.387
  • Some of these things. i'm not going to
  • 00:05:31.454 --> 00:05:31.854
  • I'm not going to go back over it.
  • 00:05:31.921 --> 00:05:33.189
  • But ephesians,
  • 00:05:33.256 --> 00:05:33.956
  • But ephesians, chapter 3, verse 20,
  • 00:05:34.023 --> 00:05:34.991
  • Chapter 3, verse 20, now unto him who is able
  • 00:05:35.057 --> 00:05:36.192
  • Now unto him who is able to do exceeding abundantly
  • 00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:37.493
  • To do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think,
  • 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.362
  • Above all we ask or think, according to the power
  • 00:05:39.429 --> 00:05:41.297
  • According to the power that works in us.
  • 00:05:41.364 --> 00:05:42.465
  • God is limited to
  • 00:05:42.532 --> 00:05:44.133
  • God is limited to working through people,
  • 00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:46.002
  • Working through people, and if you won't believe him,
  • 00:05:46.068 --> 00:05:47.603
  • And if you won't believe him, he will not force his will
  • 00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:49.472
  • He will not force his will upon you.
  • 00:05:49.539 --> 00:05:50.506
  • Upon you. he doesn't make you serve him.
  • 00:05:50.573 --> 00:05:53.843
  • He doesn't make you serve him. you know, when i first got
  • 00:05:53.910 --> 00:05:54.744
  • You know, when i first got really turned on to the lord
  • 00:05:54.811 --> 00:05:55.778
  • Really turned on to the lord and i realized, man,
  • 00:05:55.845 --> 00:05:56.579
  • And i realized, man, i was way over here,
  • 00:05:56.646 --> 00:05:57.680
  • I was way over here, and god wanted me
  • 00:05:57.747 --> 00:05:58.614
  • And god wanted me to be way over here,
  • 00:05:58.681 --> 00:05:59.882
  • To be way over here, and it just seemed like
  • 00:05:59.949 --> 00:06:00.883
  • And it just seemed like it was such a big distance.
  • 00:06:00.950 --> 00:06:03.252
  • It was such a big distance. i used to pray and say,
  • 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:04.387
  • I used to pray and say, oh god, just make me serve you.
  • 00:06:04.454 --> 00:06:06.689
  • Oh god, just make me serve you. make me be the person
  • 00:06:06.756 --> 00:06:07.957
  • Make me be the person i'm supposed to be.
  • 00:06:08.024 --> 00:06:09.592
  • I'm supposed to be. and the lord showed me
  • 00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:10.526
  • And the lord showed me he's not going to make me.
  • 00:06:10.593 --> 00:06:11.961
  • He's not going to make me. he will draw me.
  • 00:06:12.028 --> 00:06:13.529
  • He will draw me. the holy spirit will lead me.
  • 00:06:13.596 --> 00:06:15.364
  • The holy spirit will lead me. he will guide me,
  • 00:06:15.431 --> 00:06:16.232
  • He will guide me, but he won't drive me.
  • 00:06:16.299 --> 00:06:19.202
  • But he won't drive me. that's a major statement
  • 00:06:19.268 --> 00:06:20.203
  • That's a major statement right there.
  • 00:06:20.269 --> 00:06:21.404
  • Right there. if you don't understand this,
  • 00:06:21.471 --> 00:06:22.905
  • If you don't understand this, you don't understand
  • 00:06:22.972 --> 00:06:23.973
  • You don't understand the nature of god.
  • 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.175
  • The nature of god. god wants us
  • 00:06:26.242 --> 00:06:27.076
  • God wants us to love him voluntarily.
  • 00:06:27.143 --> 00:06:28.644
  • To love him voluntarily. god wants us to
  • 00:06:28.711 --> 00:06:29.479
  • God wants us to serve him voluntarily.
  • 00:06:29.545 --> 00:06:30.847
  • Serve him voluntarily. he's not going to force himself
  • 00:06:30.913 --> 00:06:32.448
  • He's not going to force himself upon you.
  • 00:06:32.515 --> 00:06:33.616
  • Upon you. i actually heard a story
  • 00:06:33.683 --> 00:06:34.584
  • I actually heard a story one time about a man
  • 00:06:34.650 --> 00:06:35.985
  • One time about a man who was real overweight,
  • 00:06:36.052 --> 00:06:37.119
  • Who was real overweight, 300 pounds or something,
  • 00:06:37.186 --> 00:06:39.088
  • 300 pounds or something, and he literally
  • 00:06:39.155 --> 00:06:39.989
  • And he literally sat upon a person
  • 00:06:40.056 --> 00:06:41.157
  • Sat upon a person nearly all night long
  • 00:06:41.224 --> 00:06:42.258
  • Nearly all night long and said, i'm not getting up
  • 00:06:42.325 --> 00:06:43.259
  • And said, i'm not getting up until you get saved,
  • 00:06:43.326 --> 00:06:44.393
  • Until you get saved, and he tried to just
  • 00:06:44.460 --> 00:06:45.261
  • And he tried to just make him get saved.
  • 00:06:45.328 --> 00:06:46.529
  • Make him get saved. god won't force anybody
  • 00:06:46.596 --> 00:06:48.130
  • God won't force anybody to get saved.
  • 00:06:48.197 --> 00:06:48.731
  • To get saved. he will protect your free will
  • 00:06:48.798 --> 00:06:51.834
  • He will protect your free will all the way to hell,
  • 00:06:51.901 --> 00:06:53.569
  • All the way to hell, even though he doesn't want you
  • 00:06:53.636 --> 00:06:54.637
  • Even though he doesn't want you to go there, he will not
  • 00:06:54.704 --> 00:06:56.239
  • To go there, he will not let anybody force you
  • 00:06:56.305 --> 00:06:58.474
  • Let anybody force you to make a decision.
  • 00:06:58.541 --> 00:06:59.675
  • To make a decision. your relationship with god
  • 00:06:59.742 --> 00:07:01.377
  • Your relationship with god has to be your choice.
  • 00:07:01.444 --> 00:07:04.013
  • Has to be your choice. god...that's the nature of god.
  • 00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:06.549
  • God...that's the nature of god. and it's the same thing
  • 00:07:06.616 --> 00:07:07.416
  • And it's the same thing with receiving a miracle.
  • 00:07:07.483 --> 00:07:08.451
  • With receiving a miracle. people think, well,
  • 00:07:08.518 --> 00:07:09.252
  • People think, well, i prayed and asked for a healing
  • 00:07:09.318 --> 00:07:10.353
  • I prayed and asked for a healing and yet this person died.
  • 00:07:10.419 --> 00:07:11.921
  • And yet this person died. god could have healed them
  • 00:07:11.988 --> 00:07:13.456
  • God could have healed them if he wanted to.
  • 00:07:13.523 --> 00:07:14.123
  • If he wanted to. no, there's laws that govern
  • 00:07:14.190 --> 00:07:16.492
  • No, there's laws that govern how faith works.
  • 00:07:16.559 --> 00:07:18.160
  • How faith works. and if you don't have
  • 00:07:18.227 --> 00:07:18.995
  • And if you don't have any power working in you...
  • 00:07:19.061 --> 00:07:20.229
  • Any power working in you... again, i go back to
  • 00:07:20.296 --> 00:07:21.097
  • Again, i go back to ephesians 3:20,
  • 00:07:21.163 --> 00:07:22.098
  • Ephesians 3:20, it says it's according to
  • 00:07:22.164 --> 00:07:23.165
  • It says it's according to the power that works in you.
  • 00:07:23.232 --> 00:07:25.268
  • The power that works in you. if there's no power
  • 00:07:25.334 --> 00:07:26.435
  • If there's no power working in you,
  • 00:07:26.502 --> 00:07:27.470
  • Working in you, not the power of faith,
  • 00:07:27.537 --> 00:07:29.205
  • Not the power of faith, not the power of love.
  • 00:07:29.272 --> 00:07:31.240
  • Not the power of love. if you have instead
  • 00:07:31.307 --> 00:07:32.441
  • If you have instead fear, and anger,
  • 00:07:32.508 --> 00:07:34.076
  • Fear, and anger, and bitterness, and hatred,
  • 00:07:34.143 --> 00:07:35.678
  • And bitterness, and hatred, and unforgiveness,
  • 00:07:35.745 --> 00:07:37.280
  • And unforgiveness, you are empowering the devil,
  • 00:07:37.346 --> 00:07:39.181
  • You are empowering the devil, not empowering god.
  • 00:07:39.248 --> 00:07:40.783
  • Not empowering god. and god will not be able to move
  • 00:07:40.850 --> 00:07:42.919
  • And god will not be able to move because it's according to
  • 00:07:42.985 --> 00:07:43.886
  • Because it's according to the power that works in you.
  • 00:07:43.953 --> 00:07:45.187
  • The power that works in you. that's one of the laws of god.
  • 00:07:45.254 --> 00:07:48.124
  • That's one of the laws of god. and there's a lot of people
  • 00:07:48.190 --> 00:07:49.058
  • And there's a lot of people that just don't understand this.
  • 00:07:49.125 --> 00:07:50.860
  • That just don't understand this. if you understand
  • 00:07:50.927 --> 00:07:51.894
  • If you understand the virgin birth,
  • 00:07:51.961 --> 00:07:52.895
  • The virgin birth, if you've tracked with me
  • 00:07:52.962 --> 00:07:54.130
  • If you've tracked with me through everything i've said,
  • 00:07:54.196 --> 00:07:57.166
  • Through everything i've said, then you'll understand
  • 00:07:57.233 --> 00:07:58.000
  • Then you'll understand that it took god 4,000 years
  • 00:07:58.067 --> 00:08:02.238
  • That it took god 4,000 years to bring the birth of jesus
  • 00:08:02.305 --> 00:08:03.973
  • To bring the birth of jesus into existence because of
  • 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:05.942
  • Into existence because of the authority that he had
  • 00:08:06.008 --> 00:08:07.209
  • The authority that he had given mankind, because there was
  • 00:08:07.276 --> 00:08:09.612
  • Given mankind, because there was resistance from the devil,
  • 00:08:09.679 --> 00:08:11.013
  • Resistance from the devil, because of the carnality
  • 00:08:11.080 --> 00:08:12.248
  • Because of the carnality of people, that no one person
  • 00:08:12.315 --> 00:08:14.550
  • Of people, that no one person could yield completely to god
  • 00:08:14.617 --> 00:08:16.886
  • Could yield completely to god and say everything that needed
  • 00:08:16.953 --> 00:08:17.887
  • And say everything that needed to be said, etcetera.
  • 00:08:17.954 --> 00:08:20.389
  • To be said, etcetera. you find that if god
  • 00:08:20.456 --> 00:08:21.757
  • You find that if god had limitations and if god had
  • 00:08:21.824 --> 00:08:23.593
  • Had limitations and if god had to flow within the confines of
  • 00:08:23.659 --> 00:08:25.962
  • To flow within the confines of the own...of his own laws
  • 00:08:26.028 --> 00:08:27.163
  • The own...of his own laws that he had made, well then,
  • 00:08:27.229 --> 00:08:28.464
  • That he had made, well then, i can guarantee you, you do.
  • 00:08:28.531 --> 00:08:30.533
  • I can guarantee you, you do. god isn't just going to
  • 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:31.767
  • God isn't just going to rain your miracle out of heaven.
  • 00:08:31.834 --> 00:08:33.035
  • Rain your miracle out of heaven. you need to conceive it.
  • 00:08:33.102 --> 00:08:35.571
  • You need to conceive it. boy, if you understand that,
  • 00:08:35.638 --> 00:08:37.506
  • Boy, if you understand that, that just really blesses me
  • 00:08:37.573 --> 00:08:38.841
  • That just really blesses me and it...it gives me a track
  • 00:08:38.908 --> 00:08:40.643
  • And it...it gives me a track to run on.
  • 00:08:40.710 --> 00:08:42.144
  • To run on. you know, there are some things
  • 00:08:42.211 --> 00:08:43.379
  • You know, there are some things that i've prayed for
  • 00:08:43.446 --> 00:08:43.913
  • That i've prayed for that i didn't instantly receive,
  • 00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:46.916
  • That i didn't instantly receive, but i knew the process.
  • 00:08:46.983 --> 00:08:48.851
  • But i knew the process. and i knew that if i
  • 00:08:48.918 --> 00:08:50.219
  • And i knew that if i kept in communion,
  • 00:08:50.286 --> 00:08:52.054
  • Kept in communion, if i kept in relationship
  • 00:08:52.121 --> 00:08:53.656
  • If i kept in relationship with god, and with
  • 00:08:53.723 --> 00:08:54.690
  • With god, and with the holy spirit,
  • 00:08:54.757 --> 00:08:55.424
  • The holy spirit, and took his word
  • 00:08:55.491 --> 00:08:56.759
  • And took his word and meditated on it,
  • 00:08:56.826 --> 00:08:57.860
  • And meditated on it, i knew that sooner or later
  • 00:08:57.927 --> 00:09:00.062
  • I knew that sooner or later that word is going to conceive.
  • 00:09:00.129 --> 00:09:01.697
  • That word is going to conceive. that word going to germinate
  • 00:09:01.764 --> 00:09:03.599
  • That word going to germinate on the inside of me,
  • 00:09:03.666 --> 00:09:04.634
  • On the inside of me, and then once
  • 00:09:04.700 --> 00:09:05.534
  • And then once i had it conceived,
  • 00:09:05.601 --> 00:09:07.036
  • I had it conceived, it's just a matter of time
  • 00:09:07.103 --> 00:09:08.938
  • It's just a matter of time until that thing comes to pass.
  • 00:09:09.005 --> 00:09:11.207
  • Until that thing comes to pass. see, people that don't
  • 00:09:11.273 --> 00:09:12.074
  • See, people that don't understand this process,
  • 00:09:12.141 --> 00:09:13.409
  • Understand this process, they just look
  • 00:09:13.476 --> 00:09:14.143
  • They just look in the natural realm.
  • 00:09:14.210 --> 00:09:15.011
  • In the natural realm. they aren't even aware of
  • 00:09:15.077 --> 00:09:15.978
  • They aren't even aware of the spiritual realm,
  • 00:09:16.045 --> 00:09:17.313
  • The spiritual realm, that they are a spiritual being,
  • 00:09:17.380 --> 00:09:19.515
  • That they are a spiritual being, and that things really come from
  • 00:09:19.582 --> 00:09:20.816
  • And that things really come from the inside out.
  • 00:09:20.883 --> 00:09:22.151
  • The inside out. they come from the spirit
  • 00:09:22.218 --> 00:09:23.386
  • They come from the spirit through the soul
  • 00:09:23.452 --> 00:09:24.720
  • Through the soul and into the end of the body.
  • 00:09:24.787 --> 00:09:25.888
  • And into the end of the body. instead, they're just
  • 00:09:25.955 --> 00:09:26.922
  • Instead, they're just looking for a miracle
  • 00:09:26.989 --> 00:09:27.590
  • Looking for a miracle to drop out of heaven.
  • 00:09:27.657 --> 00:09:28.824
  • To drop out of heaven. if you don't understand this
  • 00:09:28.891 --> 00:09:30.393
  • If you don't understand this and you're just looking in
  • 00:09:30.459 --> 00:09:31.627
  • And you're just looking in the physical realm, you'll pray
  • 00:09:31.694 --> 00:09:32.828
  • The physical realm, you'll pray for a physical healing
  • 00:09:32.895 --> 00:09:34.130
  • For a physical healing and if you don't see it
  • 00:09:34.196 --> 00:09:35.097
  • And if you don't see it instantly then you think,
  • 00:09:35.164 --> 00:09:36.599
  • Instantly then you think, well, god didn't do anything.
  • 00:09:36.666 --> 00:09:38.601
  • Well, god didn't do anything. that would be as stupid...
  • 00:09:38.668 --> 00:09:40.069
  • That would be as stupid... forgive me for being blunt,
  • 00:09:40.136 --> 00:09:41.604
  • Forgive me for being blunt, but that's as stupid or wrong,
  • 00:09:41.671 --> 00:09:43.839
  • But that's as stupid or wrong, however you want to say that,
  • 00:09:43.906 --> 00:09:45.408
  • However you want to say that, as a woman who has
  • 00:09:45.474 --> 00:09:46.509
  • As a woman who has a physical relationship
  • 00:09:46.575 --> 00:09:47.643
  • A physical relationship with a man,
  • 00:09:47.710 --> 00:09:48.277
  • With a man, and because she's not
  • 00:09:48.344 --> 00:09:49.245
  • And because she's not nine months pregnant
  • 00:09:49.311 --> 00:09:50.112
  • Nine months pregnant in the morning,
  • 00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:51.414
  • In the morning, she thinks nothing happened.
  • 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.182
  • She thinks nothing happened. no, something happened in the...
  • 00:09:53.249 --> 00:09:54.850
  • No, something happened in the... in the womb,
  • 00:09:54.917 --> 00:09:55.685
  • In the womb, in the part that you can't see.
  • 00:09:55.751 --> 00:09:57.286
  • In the part that you can't see. and over a period of time,
  • 00:09:57.353 --> 00:09:58.354
  • And over a period of time, as it grows and develops,
  • 00:09:58.421 --> 00:09:59.655
  • As it grows and develops, and then you have the birth,
  • 00:09:59.722 --> 00:10:01.190
  • And then you have the birth, it'll come to pass.
  • 00:10:01.257 --> 00:10:02.491
  • It'll come to pass. likewise, you have to have this
  • 00:10:02.558 --> 00:10:04.160
  • Likewise, you have to have this relationship with god,
  • 00:10:04.226 --> 00:10:06.128
  • Relationship with god, and you conceive a miracle
  • 00:10:06.195 --> 00:10:07.930
  • And you conceive a miracle and...and you get it
  • 00:10:07.997 --> 00:10:09.398
  • And...and you get it on the inside long before
  • 00:10:09.465 --> 00:10:11.233
  • On the inside long before you see it on the outside.
  • 00:10:11.300 --> 00:10:13.335
  • You see it on the outside. again, i have seen this happen
  • 00:10:13.402 --> 00:10:14.737
  • Again, i have seen this happen in my life numerous times.
  • 00:10:14.804 --> 00:10:19.508
  • In my life numerous times. and i'm telling you,
  • 00:10:19.575 --> 00:10:20.076
  • And i'm telling you, i've gotten sensitive enough
  • 00:10:20.142 --> 00:10:21.243
  • I've gotten sensitive enough to it that now i can tell
  • 00:10:21.310 --> 00:10:23.913
  • To it that now i can tell when i've conceived,
  • 00:10:23.979 --> 00:10:24.847
  • When i've conceived, when i've gotten pregnant
  • 00:10:24.914 --> 00:10:26.182
  • When i've gotten pregnant with a miracle.
  • 00:10:26.248 --> 00:10:26.882
  • With a miracle. and even though i may not
  • 00:10:26.949 --> 00:10:28.084
  • And even though i may not see it on the outside,
  • 00:10:28.150 --> 00:10:29.118
  • See it on the outside, to me, once i know that i got it
  • 00:10:29.185 --> 00:10:31.454
  • To me, once i know that i got it on the inside, it's mine.
  • 00:10:31.520 --> 00:10:34.056
  • On the inside, it's mine. and i'm right there
  • 00:10:34.123 --> 00:10:35.257
  • And i'm right there in some things
  • 00:10:35.324 --> 00:10:35.925
  • In some things that i'm doing right now,
  • 00:10:35.991 --> 00:10:36.926
  • That i'm doing right now, it's mine.
  • 00:10:36.992 --> 00:10:37.760
  • It's mine. i've got it.
  • 00:10:37.827 --> 00:10:38.761
  • I've got it. and other people
  • 00:10:38.828 --> 00:10:39.361
  • And other people may look at it and say,
  • 00:10:39.428 --> 00:10:40.129
  • May look at it and say, well, you don't have
  • 00:10:40.196 --> 00:10:41.030
  • Well, you don't have any guarantee.
  • 00:10:41.097 --> 00:10:41.664
  • Any guarantee. well, i may not
  • 00:10:41.731 --> 00:10:42.798
  • Well, i may not have any physical,
  • 00:10:42.865 --> 00:10:43.733
  • Have any physical, natural guarantee,
  • 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:44.700
  • Natural guarantee, but i've got it.
  • 00:10:44.767 --> 00:10:45.634
  • But i've got it. i know.
  • 00:10:45.701 --> 00:10:46.402
  • I know. i've conceived it.
  • 00:10:46.469 --> 00:10:49.305
  • I've conceived it. man, that's awesome.
  • 00:10:49.371 --> 00:10:50.639
  • Man, that's awesome. look over here in john,
  • 00:10:50.706 --> 00:10:51.707
  • Look over here in john, i read some of these verses.
  • 00:10:51.774 --> 00:10:52.775
  • But in john, chapter 1,
  • 00:10:52.842 --> 00:10:54.577
  • But in john, chapter 1, says, in the beginning
  • 00:10:54.643 --> 00:10:55.544
  • Says, in the beginning was the word.
  • 00:10:55.611 --> 00:10:56.912
  • Was the word. remember that the word
  • 00:10:56.979 --> 00:10:58.314
  • Became flesh.
  • 00:10:58.380 --> 00:10:59.014
  • Became flesh. the word is
  • 00:10:59.081 --> 00:10:59.882
  • The word is the incorruptible seed,
  • 00:10:59.949 --> 00:11:01.784
  • The incorruptible seed, 1 peter 1:23.
  • 00:11:01.851 --> 00:11:03.252
  • 1 peter 1:23. the word is a sperm.
  • 00:11:03.319 --> 00:11:05.020
  • The word is a sperm. the word.
  • 00:11:05.087 --> 00:11:06.288
  • In the beginning was the word,
  • 00:11:06.355 --> 00:11:08.124
  • In the beginning was the word, this is talking about jesus,
  • 00:11:08.190 --> 00:11:10.192
  • This is talking about jesus, and the word was with god,
  • 00:11:10.259 --> 00:11:12.528
  • And the word was with god, and the word was god.
  • 00:11:12.595 --> 00:11:15.131
  • Jesus is god manifest
  • 00:11:15.197 --> 00:11:17.867
  • Jesus is god manifest in the flesh.
  • 00:11:17.933 --> 00:11:18.934
  • In the flesh. and it's so appropriate
  • 00:11:19.001 --> 00:11:20.269
  • And it's so appropriate to call him the word
  • 00:11:20.336 --> 00:11:21.237
  • To call him the word because that's exactly
  • 00:11:21.303 --> 00:11:22.371
  • Because that's exactly how his physical body was...
  • 00:11:22.438 --> 00:11:24.707
  • How his physical body was... came into being.
  • 00:11:24.774 --> 00:11:25.674
  • Came into being. it was prophesied.
  • 00:11:25.741 --> 00:11:27.042
  • It was prophesied. it was word spoken,
  • 00:11:27.109 --> 00:11:28.477
  • It was word spoken, and then the holy spirit
  • 00:11:28.544 --> 00:11:29.378
  • And then the holy spirit took those words
  • 00:11:29.445 --> 00:11:30.813
  • Took those words and impregnated mary with them.
  • 00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:32.882
  • And impregnated mary with them. man, that's awesome.
  • 00:11:32.948 --> 00:11:34.216
  • In verse 2, it says,
  • 00:11:34.283 --> 00:11:35.818
  • In verse 2, it says, the same was in the beginning
  • 00:11:35.885 --> 00:11:37.253
  • The same was in the beginning with god.
  • 00:11:37.319 --> 00:11:38.554
  • You know, here again
  • 00:11:38.621 --> 00:11:40.089
  • You know, here again is a subtle reference
  • 00:11:40.156 --> 00:11:41.490
  • Is a subtle reference to the trinity
  • 00:11:41.557 --> 00:11:42.324
  • To the trinity because it says
  • 00:11:42.391 --> 00:11:43.359
  • That the word was
  • 00:11:43.425 --> 00:11:45.027
  • That the word was in the beginning,
  • 00:11:45.094 --> 00:11:46.395
  • In the beginning, that the word was with god,
  • 00:11:46.462 --> 00:11:47.897
  • That the word was with god, the word was god.
  • 00:11:47.963 --> 00:11:50.733
  • The word was god. and then in verse 2,
  • 00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:51.867
  • And then in verse 2, the same was in the beginning
  • 00:11:51.934 --> 00:11:53.569
  • The same was in the beginning with god.
  • 00:11:53.636 --> 00:11:54.904
  • So it's calling him,
  • 00:11:54.970 --> 00:11:56.305
  • So it's calling him, the word, god,
  • 00:11:56.372 --> 00:11:57.740
  • The word, god, which we later see it says
  • 00:11:57.807 --> 00:11:59.375
  • Which we later see it says that jesus is that word.
  • 00:11:59.441 --> 00:12:01.443
  • That jesus is that word. it calls jesus god.
  • 00:12:01.510 --> 00:12:03.412
  • It calls jesus god. and then it says
  • 00:12:03.479 --> 00:12:04.814
  • And then it says that he was god,
  • 00:12:04.880 --> 00:12:06.415
  • That he was god, and yet he was with god.
  • 00:12:06.482 --> 00:12:08.951
  • And yet he was with god. this is a...a reference to
  • 00:12:09.018 --> 00:12:10.953
  • This is a...a reference to the trinity.
  • 00:12:11.020 --> 00:12:12.154
  • The trinity. jesus is god, but he's not
  • 00:12:12.221 --> 00:12:14.323
  • Jesus is god, but he's not god the father.
  • 00:12:14.390 --> 00:12:15.691
  • God the father. we don't have
  • 00:12:15.758 --> 00:12:16.692
  • We don't have three different gods.
  • 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:17.827
  • Three different gods. we've got one god.
  • 00:12:17.893 --> 00:12:19.128
  • Deuteronomy, chapter 6,
  • 00:12:19.195 --> 00:12:21.397
  • Deuteronomy, chapter 6, talks about hear, o israel:
  • 00:12:21.463 --> 00:12:22.598
  • Talks about hear, o israel: the lord our god is one lord.
  • 00:12:22.665 --> 00:12:25.868
  • We don't have multiple gods.
  • 00:12:25.935 --> 00:12:27.636
  • We don't have multiple gods. there's only one god
  • 00:12:27.703 --> 00:12:28.637
  • There's only one god but he's manifest
  • 00:12:28.704 --> 00:12:29.605
  • But he's manifest as god the father,
  • 00:12:29.672 --> 00:12:30.439
  • As god the father, god the son,
  • 00:12:30.506 --> 00:12:31.173
  • God the son, god the holy spirit.
  • 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:32.875
  • God the holy spirit. again, we could go
  • 00:12:32.942 --> 00:12:34.043
  • Again, we could go into detail on that,
  • 00:12:34.109 --> 00:12:34.810
  • Into detail on that, but it's all right here.
  • 00:12:34.877 --> 00:12:36.412
  • And then in verse 3, he says,
  • 00:12:36.478 --> 00:12:37.513
  • And then in verse 3, he says, all things were made by him;
  • 00:12:37.580 --> 00:12:39.949
  • All things were made by him; and without him
  • 00:12:40.015 --> 00:12:40.683
  • And without him was not any thing made
  • 00:12:40.749 --> 00:12:41.851
  • Was not any thing made that was made.
  • 00:12:41.917 --> 00:12:42.885
  • If you put this together with
  • 00:12:42.952 --> 00:12:44.119
  • If you put this together with colossians, chapter 1,
  • 00:12:44.186 --> 00:12:45.387
  • Colossians, chapter 1, it specifically says that all
  • 00:12:45.454 --> 00:12:46.956
  • It specifically says that all things were created by jesus.
  • 00:12:47.022 --> 00:12:49.792
  • Things were created by jesus. again, this is clear that this
  • 00:12:49.859 --> 00:12:51.293
  • Again, this is clear that this is talking about jesus,
  • 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:52.628
  • Is talking about jesus, but you put it together
  • 00:12:52.695 --> 00:12:53.495
  • But you put it together with colossians 1,
  • 00:12:53.562 --> 00:12:54.897
  • With colossians 1, it just says that all things
  • 00:12:54.964 --> 00:12:56.098
  • It just says that all things were made by jesus.
  • 00:12:56.165 --> 00:12:57.132
  • Were made by jesus. so jesus created all things,
  • 00:12:57.199 --> 00:12:59.501
  • So jesus created all things, the heavens and the earth,
  • 00:12:59.568 --> 00:13:00.903
  • The heavens and the earth, adam and eve,
  • 00:13:00.970 --> 00:13:01.704
  • Adam and eve, he existed from eternity past.
  • 00:13:01.770 --> 00:13:05.641
  • He existed from eternity past. his physical body
  • 00:13:05.708 --> 00:13:06.742
  • His physical body didn't come into existence
  • 00:13:06.809 --> 00:13:08.510
  • Didn't come into existence until he was born of a virgin
  • 00:13:08.577 --> 00:13:10.813
  • Until he was born of a virgin in bethlehem,
  • 00:13:10.880 --> 00:13:12.047
  • In bethlehem, but jesus existed,
  • 00:13:12.114 --> 00:13:13.816
  • But jesus existed, god the son existed
  • 00:13:13.883 --> 00:13:17.186
  • God the son existed from beginning,
  • 00:13:17.253 --> 00:13:18.854
  • From beginning, and he was with god,
  • 00:13:18.921 --> 00:13:21.090
  • And he was with god, and he was god.
  • 00:13:21.156 --> 00:13:22.258
  • And he was god. he created everything.
  • 00:13:22.324 --> 00:13:23.659
  • And then in verse 4, it says,
  • 00:13:23.726 --> 00:13:24.927
  • And then in verse 4, it says, in him was life;
  • 00:13:24.994 --> 00:13:26.829
  • In him was life; and that life was the light
  • 00:13:26.896 --> 00:13:28.030
  • And that life was the light of men.
  • 00:13:28.097 --> 00:13:28.998
  • All life came out of jesus.
  • 00:13:29.064 --> 00:13:33.369
  • All life came out of jesus. all life originated with jesus.
  • 00:13:33.435 --> 00:13:36.205
  • All life originated with jesus. i'm not going to take time
  • 00:13:36.272 --> 00:13:37.106
  • I'm not going to take time to get into it,
  • 00:13:37.172 --> 00:13:37.740
  • To get into it, but this whole thing
  • 00:13:37.806 --> 00:13:38.507
  • But this whole thing about evolution,
  • 00:13:38.574 --> 00:13:39.441
  • About evolution, and to think
  • 00:13:39.508 --> 00:13:39.942
  • And to think that we came from slime,
  • 00:13:40.009 --> 00:13:41.744
  • That we came from slime, and that it was an accident,
  • 00:13:41.810 --> 00:13:42.978
  • And that it was an accident, and that there was some kind of
  • 00:13:43.045 --> 00:13:44.246
  • And that there was some kind of a lightning bolt
  • 00:13:44.313 --> 00:13:45.047
  • A lightning bolt that struck a primordial soup
  • 00:13:45.114 --> 00:13:47.583
  • That struck a primordial soup and that we crawled out of
  • 00:13:47.650 --> 00:13:48.717
  • And that we crawled out of the soup...that's just weird.
  • 00:13:48.784 --> 00:13:52.588
  • The soup...that's just weird. that's not what the word
  • 00:13:52.655 --> 00:13:53.422
  • That's not what the word of god teaches.
  • 00:13:53.489 --> 00:13:54.323
  • Of god teaches. all life came from jesus.
  • 00:13:54.390 --> 00:13:57.059
  • And in verse 5, it says,
  • 00:13:57.126 --> 00:13:58.928
  • And in verse 5, it says, and the light shineth
  • 00:13:58.994 --> 00:14:00.529
  • And the light shineth in the darkness;
  • 00:14:00.596 --> 00:14:01.997
  • In the darkness; and the darkness
  • 00:14:02.064 --> 00:14:02.798
  • And the darkness comprehended it not.
  • 00:14:02.865 --> 00:14:04.867
  • Comprehended it not. there was a man sent from god,
  • 00:14:04.934 --> 00:14:06.268
  • There was a man sent from god, whose name was john.
  • 00:14:06.335 --> 00:14:07.336
  • Whose name was john. this is talking about
  • 00:14:07.403 --> 00:14:07.937
  • This is talking about john the baptist.
  • 00:14:08.003 --> 00:14:09.204
  • John the baptist. the same came for a witness,
  • 00:14:09.271 --> 00:14:10.472
  • The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the light,
  • 00:14:10.539 --> 00:14:12.474
  • To bear witness of the light, that all men through him
  • 00:14:12.541 --> 00:14:14.410
  • That all men through him might believe.
  • 00:14:14.476 --> 00:14:15.344
  • Might believe. he was not that light,
  • 00:14:15.411 --> 00:14:16.645
  • He was not that light, but was sent to bear witness
  • 00:14:16.712 --> 00:14:18.213
  • But was sent to bear witness of that light.
  • 00:14:18.280 --> 00:14:19.415
  • Of that light. that was the true light,
  • 00:14:19.481 --> 00:14:20.783
  • That was the true light, which lighteth every man
  • 00:14:20.849 --> 00:14:22.484
  • Which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
  • 00:14:22.551 --> 00:14:24.954
  • Boy, there's a great
  • 00:14:25.020 --> 00:14:25.721
  • Boy, there's a great truth there.
  • 00:14:25.788 --> 00:14:26.488
  • Truth there. i won't take time
  • 00:14:26.555 --> 00:14:28.190
  • I won't take time to go into that,
  • 00:14:28.257 --> 00:14:28.824
  • To go into that, but that goes along with
  • 00:14:28.891 --> 00:14:29.725
  • But that goes along with romans 1:18 through 20,
  • 00:14:29.792 --> 00:14:31.927
  • Romans 1:18 through 20, that every person ever born
  • 00:14:31.994 --> 00:14:33.762
  • That every person ever born on this planet has had
  • 00:14:33.829 --> 00:14:35.497
  • On this planet has had god reveal himself to them
  • 00:14:35.564 --> 00:14:37.266
  • God reveal himself to them or show this light
  • 00:14:37.333 --> 00:14:38.867
  • Or show this light on the inside of them.
  • 00:14:38.934 --> 00:14:40.602
  • In verse 10, it says,
  • 00:14:40.669 --> 00:14:42.371
  • In verse 10, it says, he was in the world,
  • 00:14:42.438 --> 00:14:44.073
  • He was in the world, and the world was made by him,
  • 00:14:44.139 --> 00:14:45.774
  • And the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
  • 00:14:45.841 --> 00:14:48.243
  • And the world knew him not. he came unto his own,
  • 00:14:48.310 --> 00:14:49.345
  • He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
  • 00:14:49.411 --> 00:14:51.347
  • And his own received him not. but as many as received him,
  • 00:14:51.413 --> 00:14:53.349
  • But as many as received him, to them gave he power
  • 00:14:53.415 --> 00:14:54.917
  • To them gave he power to become the sons of god,
  • 00:14:54.984 --> 00:14:57.086
  • To become the sons of god, even to them that believe
  • 00:14:57.152 --> 00:14:58.787
  • Even to them that believe on his name: which were born,
  • 00:14:58.854 --> 00:15:01.390
  • On his name: which were born, not of blood,
  • 00:15:01.457 --> 00:15:02.725
  • Not of blood, nor of the will of of the flesh,
  • 00:15:02.791 --> 00:15:05.327
  • Nor of the will of of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
  • 00:15:05.394 --> 00:15:06.662
  • Nor of the will of man, but of god.
  • 00:15:06.729 --> 00:15:08.931
  • Again, this is a great truth.
  • 00:15:08.998 --> 00:15:10.432
  • Again, this is a great truth. jesus later, in john, chapter 3,
  • 00:15:10.499 --> 00:15:12.701
  • Jesus later, in john, chapter 3, when nicodemus came to him
  • 00:15:12.768 --> 00:15:13.936
  • When nicodemus came to him by night,
  • 00:15:14.003 --> 00:15:15.337
  • By night, nicodemus was asking him
  • 00:15:15.404 --> 00:15:16.839
  • Nicodemus was asking him how he could enter into
  • 00:15:16.905 --> 00:15:18.440
  • How he could enter into the kingdom of god,
  • 00:15:18.507 --> 00:15:19.375
  • The kingdom of god, and jesus said,
  • 00:15:19.441 --> 00:15:20.376
  • And jesus said, unless you're born again,
  • 00:15:20.442 --> 00:15:22.111
  • Unless you're born again, or the word literally is,
  • 00:15:22.177 --> 00:15:23.245
  • Or the word literally is, from above,
  • 00:15:23.312 --> 00:15:24.780
  • From above, you cannot even see
  • 00:15:24.847 --> 00:15:25.614
  • You cannot even see the kingdom of god.
  • 00:15:25.681 --> 00:15:26.448
  • The kingdom of god. nicodemus just was shocked,
  • 00:15:26.515 --> 00:15:28.017
  • Nicodemus just was shocked, like, born again?
  • 00:15:28.083 --> 00:15:29.585
  • Like, born again? can i crawl the second time
  • 00:15:29.651 --> 00:15:30.853
  • Can i crawl the second time into my mother's womb
  • 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:31.920
  • Into my mother's womb and be born?
  • 00:15:31.987 --> 00:15:32.821
  • And be born? and he said, no.
  • 00:15:32.888 --> 00:15:33.722
  • And he said, no. he's not talking about
  • 00:15:33.789 --> 00:15:34.556
  • He's not talking about a physical birth.
  • 00:15:34.623 --> 00:15:35.591
  • A physical birth. you have to be born from above,
  • 00:15:35.657 --> 00:15:37.126
  • You have to be born from above, and that's what this
  • 00:15:37.192 --> 00:15:38.060
  • And that's what this is talking about,
  • 00:15:38.127 --> 00:15:38.861
  • That you have to
  • 00:15:38.927 --> 00:15:39.695
  • That you have to be born, not of blood,
  • 00:15:39.762 --> 00:15:41.530
  • Be born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
  • 00:15:41.597 --> 00:15:43.032
  • Nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man.
  • 00:15:43.098 --> 00:15:44.266
  • So he was saying that he was
  • 00:15:44.333 --> 00:15:45.968
  • So he was saying that he was born not of blood.
  • 00:15:46.035 --> 00:15:47.836
  • Born not of blood. that means not a physical birth
  • 00:15:47.903 --> 00:15:49.338
  • That means not a physical birth or not of the flesh
  • 00:15:49.405 --> 00:15:51.607
  • Or not of the flesh or of the will of man,
  • 00:15:51.673 --> 00:15:52.508
  • Or of the will of man, talking about just
  • 00:15:52.574 --> 00:15:53.242
  • Talking about just your own ability,
  • 00:15:53.308 --> 00:15:54.410
  • Your own ability, your own willpower.
  • 00:15:54.476 --> 00:15:55.444
  • Your own willpower. it's not you overcoming
  • 00:15:55.511 --> 00:15:56.712
  • It's not you overcoming yours...your fallacies,
  • 00:15:56.779 --> 00:15:59.181
  • Yours...your fallacies, your sins and things
  • 00:15:59.248 --> 00:16:00.215
  • Your sins and things on your own power.
  • 00:16:00.282 --> 00:16:01.016
  • On your own power. you have to have
  • 00:16:01.083 --> 00:16:01.650
  • You have to have the power of god
  • 00:16:01.717 --> 00:16:03.152
  • The power of god on the inside of you,
  • 00:16:03.218 --> 00:16:03.986
  • On the inside of you, and he gives you that power
  • 00:16:04.053 --> 00:16:05.387
  • And he gives you that power to become a son of god.
  • 00:16:05.454 --> 00:16:08.490
  • And in verse 14, it says,
  • 00:16:08.557 --> 00:16:09.892
  • And in verse 14, it says, and the word was made flesh,
  • 00:16:09.958 --> 00:16:12.227
  • And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
  • 00:16:12.294 --> 00:16:13.862
  • And dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory,
  • 00:16:13.929 --> 00:16:15.364
  • And we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
  • 00:16:15.431 --> 00:16:16.932
  • The glory as of the only begotten of the father,
  • 00:16:16.999 --> 00:16:18.400
  • Begotten of the father, full of grace and truth.
  • 00:16:18.467 --> 00:16:20.569
  • Man, that is awesome.
  • 00:16:20.636 --> 00:16:21.870
  • Man, that is awesome. if you took
  • 00:16:21.937 --> 00:16:22.438
  • If you took these first 14 verses of
  • 00:16:22.504 --> 00:16:25.040
  • These first 14 verses of the gospel of john,
  • 00:16:25.107 --> 00:16:26.608
  • The gospel of john, and really studied them,
  • 00:16:26.675 --> 00:16:27.976
  • And really studied them, jesus existed from eternity.
  • 00:16:28.043 --> 00:16:30.746
  • Jesus existed from eternity. he created everything.
  • 00:16:30.813 --> 00:16:32.214
  • He created everything. he existed with god.
  • 00:16:32.281 --> 00:16:33.749
  • He existed with god. he was god,
  • 00:16:33.816 --> 00:16:35.884
  • He was god, and the word became flesh.
  • 00:16:35.951 --> 00:16:38.454
  • And the word became flesh. jesus is the word,
  • 00:16:38.520 --> 00:16:39.655
  • Jesus is the word, and the word became flesh.
  • 00:16:39.721 --> 00:16:42.558
  • And the word became flesh. god spoke these prophecies
  • 00:16:42.624 --> 00:16:44.159
  • God spoke these prophecies through old testament people.
  • 00:16:44.226 --> 00:16:45.994
  • Through old testament people. the holy spirit took them
  • 00:16:46.061 --> 00:16:47.096
  • The holy spirit took them and impregnated mary with them,
  • 00:16:47.162 --> 00:16:49.932
  • And impregnated mary with them, and she literally conceived
  • 00:16:49.998 --> 00:16:52.534
  • And she literally conceived supernaturally through
  • 00:16:52.601 --> 00:16:54.002
  • Supernaturally through the sperm of the word of god.
  • 00:16:54.069 --> 00:16:57.306
  • The sperm of the word of god. god provided this.
  • 00:16:57.372 --> 00:16:59.374
  • God provided this. and so, look at what happened
  • 00:16:59.441 --> 00:17:00.576
  • And so, look at what happened after she humbled herself
  • 00:17:00.642 --> 00:17:01.877
  • After she humbled herself and received this.
  • 00:17:01.944 --> 00:17:02.644
  • And received this. it says that the angel
  • 00:17:02.711 --> 00:17:03.745
  • It says that the angel went on and said
  • 00:17:03.812 --> 00:17:05.147
  • Unto her in luke, chapter 1,
  • 00:17:05.214 --> 00:17:07.649
  • Unto her in luke, chapter 1, it says in verse 36,
  • 00:17:07.716 --> 00:17:09.985
  • It says in verse 36, and, behold,
  • 00:17:10.052 --> 00:17:10.519
  • And, behold, thy cousin elisabeth,
  • 00:17:10.586 --> 00:17:11.687
  • Thy cousin elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son
  • 00:17:11.753 --> 00:17:13.322
  • She hath also conceived a son in her old age:
  • 00:17:13.388 --> 00:17:14.623
  • In her old age: and this is the sixth month
  • 00:17:14.690 --> 00:17:16.058
  • And this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
  • 00:17:16.125 --> 00:17:17.559
  • With her, who was called barren. for with god
  • 00:17:17.626 --> 00:17:19.061
  • For with god nothing shall be impossible.
  • 00:17:19.128 --> 00:17:21.196
  • Nothing shall be impossible. one of the translations
  • 00:17:21.263 --> 00:17:22.197
  • One of the translations that i read literally says,
  • 00:17:22.264 --> 00:17:23.732
  • That i read literally says, for with god
  • 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:25.000
  • For with god no word of god is void of
  • 00:17:25.067 --> 00:17:27.202
  • No word of god is void of power of fulfillment.
  • 00:17:27.269 --> 00:17:29.238
  • Again, emphasizing
  • 00:17:29.304 --> 00:17:30.405
  • Again, emphasizing that the word of god
  • 00:17:30.472 --> 00:17:31.373
  • That the word of god is like a sperm.
  • 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:32.441
  • Is like a sperm. it carries his life.
  • 00:17:32.508 --> 00:17:33.709
  • It carries his life. everything that's in him,
  • 00:17:33.775 --> 00:17:34.977
  • Everything that's in him, his dna.
  • 00:17:35.043 --> 00:17:36.778
  • His dna. and when you receive that word,
  • 00:17:36.845 --> 00:17:38.714
  • And when you receive that word, that word can do anything.
  • 00:17:38.780 --> 00:17:40.782
  • That word can do anything. all things are possible.
  • 00:17:40.849 --> 00:17:43.318
  • All things are possible. nothing shall be impossible
  • 00:17:43.385 --> 00:17:45.220
  • Nothing shall be impossible when you receive the word.
  • 00:17:45.287 --> 00:17:46.855
  • And it says, and mary said,
  • 00:17:46.922 --> 00:17:47.890
  • And it says, and mary said, behold the handmaid of the lord;
  • 00:17:47.956 --> 00:17:49.691
  • Behold the handmaid of the lord; be it unto me
  • 00:17:49.758 --> 00:17:50.325
  • Be it unto me according to thy word.
  • 00:17:50.392 --> 00:17:51.393
  • According to thy word. and the angel departed from her.
  • 00:17:51.460 --> 00:17:53.328
  • And the angel departed from her. and mary arose in those days,
  • 00:17:53.395 --> 00:17:55.731
  • And mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country
  • 00:17:55.797 --> 00:17:57.733
  • And went into the hill country with haste,
  • 00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:58.433
  • With haste, into a city of judah.
  • 00:17:58.500 --> 00:18:00.469
  • You know i'm going to
  • 00:18:00.536 --> 00:18:00.969
  • You know i'm going to say some things here
  • 00:18:01.036 --> 00:18:01.803
  • Say some things here that counter a lot of
  • 00:18:01.870 --> 00:18:03.071
  • That counter a lot of traditional christmas thinking.
  • 00:18:03.138 --> 00:18:07.809
  • Traditional christmas thinking. that doesn't mean
  • 00:18:07.876 --> 00:18:08.377
  • That doesn't mean that what i'm saying is wrong.
  • 00:18:08.443 --> 00:18:09.478
  • That what i'm saying is wrong. i'm just acknowledging
  • 00:18:09.545 --> 00:18:10.579
  • I'm just acknowledging that this is not the way
  • 00:18:10.646 --> 00:18:11.547
  • That this is not the way that most people think.
  • 00:18:11.613 --> 00:18:13.182
  • That most people think. most people don't let the bible
  • 00:18:13.248 --> 00:18:14.650
  • Most people don't let the bible get in the way of
  • 00:18:14.716 --> 00:18:15.284
  • Get in the way of what they believe.
  • 00:18:15.350 --> 00:18:16.118
  • What they believe. we have these
  • 00:18:16.185 --> 00:18:16.685
  • We have these religious traditions,
  • 00:18:16.752 --> 00:18:17.719
  • Religious traditions, and people are going to
  • 00:18:17.786 --> 00:18:18.854
  • And people are going to go by them.
  • 00:18:18.921 --> 00:18:19.454
  • Go by them. that's the way you've been
  • 00:18:19.521 --> 00:18:20.222
  • That's the way you've been your whole life
  • 00:18:20.289 --> 00:18:20.923
  • Your whole life and you don't care
  • 00:18:20.989 --> 00:18:21.423
  • And you don't care what the truth is.
  • 00:18:21.490 --> 00:18:22.925
  • What the truth is. but for those of you
  • 00:18:22.991 --> 00:18:24.059
  • But for those of you who do care,
  • 00:18:24.126 --> 00:18:25.127
  • Who do care, let me just say
  • 00:18:25.194 --> 00:18:25.727
  • Let me just say that this says that right after
  • 00:18:25.794 --> 00:18:27.896
  • That this says that right after this encounter with
  • 00:18:27.963 --> 00:18:29.431
  • This encounter with the holy spirit
  • 00:18:29.498 --> 00:18:30.199
  • The holy spirit and she became pregnant
  • 00:18:30.265 --> 00:18:32.067
  • And she became pregnant with the body
  • 00:18:32.134 --> 00:18:33.635
  • With the body that jesus would inhabit,
  • 00:18:33.702 --> 00:18:35.237
  • That jesus would inhabit, the son of man, it says
  • 00:18:35.304 --> 00:18:37.706
  • The son of man, it says she arose and went into
  • 00:18:37.773 --> 00:18:38.840
  • She arose and went into the hill country
  • 00:18:38.907 --> 00:18:40.175
  • The hill country to visit elisabeth.
  • 00:18:40.242 --> 00:18:41.476
  • To visit elisabeth. and it says that it was
  • 00:18:41.543 --> 00:18:42.411
  • And it says that it was the sixth month of
  • 00:18:42.477 --> 00:18:44.046
  • The sixth month of elisabeth's pregnancy,
  • 00:18:44.112 --> 00:18:45.647
  • Elisabeth's pregnancy, and mary stayed with elisabeth
  • 00:18:45.714 --> 00:18:48.283
  • And mary stayed with elisabeth for three months until
  • 00:18:48.350 --> 00:18:49.551
  • For three months until the birth of john the baptist,
  • 00:18:49.618 --> 00:18:51.620
  • The birth of john the baptist, and then she came back
  • 00:18:51.687 --> 00:18:53.555
  • And then she came back to nazareth.
  • 00:18:53.622 --> 00:18:54.590
  • To nazareth. now this is the account
  • 00:18:54.656 --> 00:18:55.724
  • Now this is the account that's given in luke
  • 00:18:55.791 --> 00:18:56.892
  • That's given in luke and it's kind of
  • 00:18:56.959 --> 00:18:57.526
  • And it's kind of from mary's perspective.
  • 00:18:57.593 --> 00:18:59.127
  • From mary's perspective. over in matthew,
  • 00:18:59.194 --> 00:19:00.362
  • Over in matthew, it gives the birth of jesus
  • 00:19:00.429 --> 00:19:02.731
  • It gives the birth of jesus from joseph's perspective.
  • 00:19:02.798 --> 00:19:04.132
  • From joseph's perspective. here's what it says
  • 00:19:04.199 --> 00:19:04.766
  • Here's what it says in matthew.
  • 00:19:04.833 --> 00:19:05.534
  • Matthew, chapter 1,
  • 00:19:05.601 --> 00:19:06.969
  • Matthew, chapter 1, and verse 18, now the birth of
  • 00:19:07.035 --> 00:19:09.238
  • And verse 18, now the birth of jesus christ was on this wise:
  • 00:19:09.304 --> 00:19:11.139
  • Jesus christ was on this wise: when as his mother mary
  • 00:19:11.206 --> 00:19:13.275
  • When as his mother mary was espoused to joseph,
  • 00:19:13.342 --> 00:19:14.776
  • Was espoused to joseph, before they came together...
  • 00:19:14.843 --> 00:19:16.511
  • Before they came together... this is talking about
  • 00:19:16.578 --> 00:19:17.346
  • This is talking about before they had
  • 00:19:17.412 --> 00:19:17.946
  • Before they had physical relationships.
  • 00:19:18.013 --> 00:19:19.514
  • Physical relationships. she was found with child of
  • 00:19:19.581 --> 00:19:22.351
  • She was found with child of the holy ghost.
  • 00:19:22.417 --> 00:19:23.719
  • Now this is really important
  • 00:19:23.785 --> 00:19:25.087
  • Now this is really important the way it's stated.
  • 00:19:25.153 --> 00:19:26.588
  • The way it's stated. she was found with child.
  • 00:19:26.655 --> 00:19:29.057
  • She was found with child. mary didn't go tell joseph
  • 00:19:29.124 --> 00:19:31.059
  • Mary didn't go tell joseph that she was pregnant.
  • 00:19:31.126 --> 00:19:33.662
  • That she was pregnant. you know, this is what
  • 00:19:33.729 --> 00:19:34.162
  • You know, this is what most people suppose.
  • 00:19:34.229 --> 00:19:36.398
  • Most people suppose. but just think about it.
  • 00:19:36.465 --> 00:19:39.001
  • But just think about it. put yourself in this.
  • 00:19:39.067 --> 00:19:40.068
  • Put yourself in this. you know, don't read the bible
  • 00:19:40.135 --> 00:19:41.570
  • You know, don't read the bible like it's a fictional,
  • 00:19:41.637 --> 00:19:42.938
  • Like it's a fictional, or a fairy tale or something.
  • 00:19:43.005 --> 00:19:44.806
  • Or a fairy tale or something. read it like it really happened.
  • 00:19:44.873 --> 00:19:47.843
  • Read it like it really happened. if you had an encounter
  • 00:19:47.909 --> 00:19:49.244
  • If you had an encounter with an angel,
  • 00:19:49.311 --> 00:19:50.145
  • With an angel, and the holy spirit
  • 00:19:50.212 --> 00:19:50.979
  • And the holy spirit came upon you,
  • 00:19:51.046 --> 00:19:51.913
  • Came upon you, and you became pregnant
  • 00:19:51.980 --> 00:19:53.415
  • And you became pregnant through the angel
  • 00:19:53.482 --> 00:19:55.117
  • Through the angel speaking these words,
  • 00:19:55.183 --> 00:19:56.084
  • Speaking these words, the holy spirit taking them,
  • 00:19:56.151 --> 00:19:57.486
  • The holy spirit taking them, impregnating you, how would you
  • 00:19:57.552 --> 00:19:59.054
  • Impregnating you, how would you go to your fiancé and say,
  • 00:19:59.121 --> 00:20:01.189
  • Go to your fiancé and say, i'm pregnant,
  • 00:20:01.256 --> 00:20:02.324
  • I'm pregnant, but honest i've been faithful.
  • 00:20:02.391 --> 00:20:04.226
  • But honest i've been faithful. it's not my unfaithfulness.
  • 00:20:04.293 --> 00:20:05.894
  • It's not my unfaithfulness. the holy spirit
  • 00:20:05.961 --> 00:20:07.596
  • The holy spirit took the word of god
  • 00:20:07.663 --> 00:20:08.764
  • Took the word of god and impregnated me.
  • 00:20:08.830 --> 00:20:10.766
  • And impregnated me. how would you say something
  • 00:20:10.832 --> 00:20:12.100
  • How would you say something like that?
  • 00:20:12.167 --> 00:20:13.535
  • Like that? the bible does not say
  • 00:20:13.602 --> 00:20:14.870
  • The bible does not say that mary ever
  • 00:20:14.936 --> 00:20:16.204
  • That mary ever told joseph anything.
  • 00:20:16.271 --> 00:20:17.239
  • Told joseph anything. matter of fact, if you read
  • 00:20:17.306 --> 00:20:18.340
  • Matter of fact, if you read luke's account, it says,
  • 00:20:18.407 --> 00:20:20.275
  • She arose in those days,
  • 00:20:20.342 --> 00:20:21.910
  • She arose in those days, and went into the hill country
  • 00:20:21.977 --> 00:20:23.712
  • And she was with elisabeth
  • 00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:25.147
  • And she was with elisabeth for three months.
  • 00:20:25.213 --> 00:20:26.782
  • For three months. now they didn't have the means
  • 00:20:26.848 --> 00:20:27.849
  • Now they didn't have the means of communication
  • 00:20:27.916 --> 00:20:28.650
  • Of communication that we have today.
  • 00:20:28.717 --> 00:20:29.651
  • That we have today. they couldn't be on
  • 00:20:29.718 --> 00:20:30.385
  • They couldn't be on the phone together.
  • 00:20:30.452 --> 00:20:31.186
  • The phone together. they couldn't do facetime,
  • 00:20:31.253 --> 00:20:32.487
  • They couldn't do facetime, zoom, etcetera.
  • 00:20:32.554 --> 00:20:33.789
  • Zoom, etcetera. for three months,
  • 00:20:33.855 --> 00:20:34.489
  • For three months, she was out of pocket.
  • 00:20:34.556 --> 00:20:35.757
  • She was out of pocket. and when she came back
  • 00:20:35.824 --> 00:20:37.659
  • And when she came back from elisabeth's,
  • 00:20:37.726 --> 00:20:38.827
  • From elisabeth's, she was three months pregnant.
  • 00:20:38.894 --> 00:20:42.030
  • She was three months pregnant. and over here in matthew,
  • 00:20:42.097 --> 00:20:43.765
  • And over here in matthew, joseph found her with child.
  • 00:20:43.832 --> 00:20:47.703
  • Joseph found her with child. i don't believe she told him.
  • 00:20:47.769 --> 00:20:49.371
  • I don't believe she told him. i believe he found out.
  • 00:20:49.438 --> 00:20:50.539
  • I believe he found out. it was obvious.
  • 00:20:50.605 --> 00:20:51.473
  • It was obvious. she was pregnant-looking.
  • 00:20:51.540 --> 00:20:53.308
  • She was pregnant-looking. and joseph was going to
  • 00:20:53.375 --> 00:20:55.510
  • And joseph was going to divorce her privately.
  • 00:20:55.577 --> 00:20:56.645
  • Divorce her privately. he had the right to stone her
  • 00:20:56.712 --> 00:20:57.979
  • He had the right to stone her according to
  • 00:20:58.046 --> 00:20:58.480
  • According to old testament scripture,
  • 00:20:58.547 --> 00:20:59.748
  • Old testament scripture, but because he was
  • 00:20:59.815 --> 00:21:00.582
  • But because he was an old...a...a godly man,
  • 00:21:00.649 --> 00:21:02.517
  • An old...a...a godly man, he was just going to
  • 00:21:02.584 --> 00:21:03.352
  • He was just going to divorce her privately
  • 00:21:03.418 --> 00:21:04.886
  • Divorce her privately and put her in some kind of
  • 00:21:04.953 --> 00:21:06.221
  • And put her in some kind of a home some place.
  • 00:21:06.288 --> 00:21:07.789
  • But while he thought on
  • 00:21:07.856 --> 00:21:08.957
  • But while he thought on these things, behold,
  • 00:21:09.024 --> 00:21:10.392
  • These things, behold, the angel of the lord
  • 00:21:10.459 --> 00:21:11.193
  • The angel of the lord appeared unto him in a dream,
  • 00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:12.527
  • Appeared unto him in a dream, saying, joseph,
  • 00:21:12.594 --> 00:21:13.228
  • Saying, joseph, thou son of david, fear not
  • 00:21:13.295 --> 00:21:14.830
  • Thou son of david, fear not to take unto thee mary thy wife:
  • 00:21:14.896 --> 00:21:17.032
  • To take unto thee mary thy wife: for that which is conceived
  • 00:21:17.099 --> 00:21:18.600
  • For that which is conceived in her is of the holy ghost.
  • 00:21:18.667 --> 00:21:20.902
  • In her is of the holy ghost. and she shall bring forth a son,
  • 00:21:20.969 --> 00:21:22.504
  • And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call
  • 00:21:22.571 --> 00:21:23.205
  • And thou shalt call his name jesus:
  • 00:21:23.271 --> 00:21:24.573
  • His name jesus: for he shall save his people
  • 00:21:24.639 --> 00:21:26.441
  • For he shall save his people from their sins.
  • 00:21:26.508 --> 00:21:28.377
  • Now, if mary had told him
  • 00:21:28.443 --> 00:21:30.145
  • Now, if mary had told him that she had
  • 00:21:30.212 --> 00:21:30.579
  • That she had had this encounter
  • 00:21:30.645 --> 00:21:31.947
  • Had this encounter and that the angel told her
  • 00:21:32.013 --> 00:21:34.015
  • And that the angel told her that the child would be
  • 00:21:34.082 --> 00:21:35.083
  • That the child would be called jesus,
  • 00:21:35.150 --> 00:21:36.451
  • Called jesus, well then, that would have
  • 00:21:36.518 --> 00:21:37.352
  • Well then, that would have prejudiced joseph,
  • 00:21:37.419 --> 00:21:39.321
  • Prejudiced joseph, and he might have thought
  • 00:21:39.388 --> 00:21:40.188
  • And he might have thought that this dream and everything
  • 00:21:40.255 --> 00:21:41.923
  • That this dream and everything was just, you know,
  • 00:21:41.990 --> 00:21:42.958
  • Was just, you know, mary had planted these thoughts
  • 00:21:43.024 --> 00:21:44.526
  • Mary had planted these thoughts in his head,
  • 00:21:44.593 --> 00:21:45.160
  • In his head, and he dreamed about it
  • 00:21:45.227 --> 00:21:46.194
  • And he dreamed about it and that's how it happened.
  • 00:21:46.261 --> 00:21:47.429
  • And that's how it happened. but if she didn't tell him,
  • 00:21:47.496 --> 00:21:48.964
  • But if she didn't tell him, if she was dependent upon
  • 00:21:49.030 --> 00:21:50.365
  • If she was dependent upon the holy spirit to tell him,
  • 00:21:50.432 --> 00:21:53.435
  • The holy spirit to tell him, and she was just
  • 00:21:53.502 --> 00:21:54.169
  • And she was just entrusting herself to the lord,
  • 00:21:54.236 --> 00:21:55.704
  • Entrusting herself to the lord, then when the angel
  • 00:21:55.771 --> 00:21:57.305
  • Then when the angel appeared unto joseph in a dream
  • 00:21:57.372 --> 00:21:59.674
  • Appeared unto joseph in a dream and told him these things
  • 00:21:59.741 --> 00:22:00.809
  • And told him these things and then he came together
  • 00:22:00.876 --> 00:22:01.910
  • And then he came together to mary to tell mary
  • 00:22:01.977 --> 00:22:03.745
  • To mary to tell mary what the angel had told him,
  • 00:22:03.812 --> 00:22:05.847
  • What the angel had told him, it was a confirmation.
  • 00:22:05.914 --> 00:22:07.249
  • It was a confirmation. both of them were told
  • 00:22:07.315 --> 00:22:08.717
  • Both of them were told that the name of the child
  • 00:22:08.784 --> 00:22:09.985
  • That the name of the child would be jesus,
  • 00:22:10.051 --> 00:22:11.052
  • Would be jesus, that it was a virgin birth.
  • 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:13.155
  • That it was a virgin birth. what a great confirmation
  • 00:22:13.221 --> 00:22:14.456
  • What a great confirmation to joseph and to mary.
  • 00:22:14.523 --> 00:22:17.359
  • To joseph and to mary. i believe that
  • 00:22:17.426 --> 00:22:17.859
  • I believe that that's the way
  • 00:22:17.926 --> 00:22:18.560
  • That's the way that it happened.
  • 00:22:18.627 --> 00:22:19.928
  • That it happened. and i hadn't got time
  • 00:22:19.995 --> 00:22:21.396
  • And i hadn't got time to go into this.
  • 00:22:21.463 --> 00:22:22.364
  • To go into this. i'll just have to say this
  • 00:22:22.431 --> 00:22:23.465
  • I'll just have to say this and let it go,
  • 00:22:23.532 --> 00:22:24.332
  • And let it go, but there weren't
  • 00:22:24.399 --> 00:22:25.400
  • But there weren't three wise men.
  • 00:22:25.467 --> 00:22:26.435
  • Three wise men. the scripture doesn't say
  • 00:22:26.501 --> 00:22:27.369
  • The scripture doesn't say how many there were,
  • 00:22:27.436 --> 00:22:28.970
  • How many there were, but it's traditional to say
  • 00:22:29.037 --> 00:22:30.605
  • But it's traditional to say there were three.
  • 00:22:30.672 --> 00:22:31.740
  • There were three. and they didn't
  • 00:22:31.807 --> 00:22:34.309
  • And they didn't come into the manger
  • 00:22:34.376 --> 00:22:35.744
  • Come into the manger in bethlehem.
  • 00:22:35.811 --> 00:22:36.645
  • In bethlehem. they came into the house
  • 00:22:36.711 --> 00:22:38.013
  • They came into the house in nazareth.
  • 00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:39.347
  • In nazareth. and if i had time,
  • 00:22:39.414 --> 00:22:40.182
  • And if i had time, i could show you that,
  • 00:22:40.248 --> 00:22:41.817
  • I could show you that, that that's the reason
  • 00:22:41.883 --> 00:22:43.251
  • That that's the reason that herod killed
  • 00:22:43.318 --> 00:22:44.319
  • That herod killed all of the children in bethlehem
  • 00:22:44.386 --> 00:22:46.154
  • All of the children in bethlehem from two years old and younger
  • 00:22:46.221 --> 00:22:47.656
  • From two years old and younger because by the time
  • 00:22:47.722 --> 00:22:49.090
  • Because by the time the wise man appeared,
  • 00:22:49.157 --> 00:22:51.126
  • The wise man appeared, jesus had already
  • 00:22:51.193 --> 00:22:52.093
  • Jesus had already gone to egypt
  • 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.328
  • Gone to egypt and then had come back
  • 00:22:53.395 --> 00:22:54.463
  • And then had come back and was living in nazareth.
  • 00:22:54.529 --> 00:22:56.298
  • And was living in nazareth. and so, anyway, there's a lot of
  • 00:22:56.364 --> 00:22:57.065
  • Religious traditions we have
  • 00:22:57.666 --> 00:23:00.068
  • That aren't necessarily so.
  • 00:23:00.068 --> 00:23:02.771
