- 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

- 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

- 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
- >> god's promises will become
- 00:23:02.838 --> 00:23:04.739
- More real and alive when you get
- 00:23:04.739 --> 00:23:06.875
- Andrew's complete teaching
- 00:23:06.875 --> 00:23:08.410
- Titled the word became flesh.
- 00:23:08.410 --> 00:23:10.579
- >> this week i've been teaching
- 00:23:10.579 --> 00:23:12.180
- On a series i call the word
- 00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:13.715
- Became flesh, and i have this in
- 00:23:13.715 --> 00:23:16.117
- Cd, also in dvd that was taken
- 00:23:16.117 --> 00:23:18.386
- Either from television or a live
- 00:23:18.386 --> 00:23:20.055
- Teaching, and i tell you, this
- 00:23:20.055 --> 00:23:22.057
- Is awesome. i would encourage
- 00:23:22.057 --> 00:23:24.025
- You to get this and to study it.
- 00:23:24.025 --> 00:23:25.727
- This is the kind of thing that
- 00:23:25.727 --> 00:23:26.695
- You just don't get it by
- 00:23:26.695 --> 00:23:27.996
- Listening to it on television in
- 00:23:27.996 --> 00:23:29.397
