truth equip the saints and impact our culture. If you doubt God speaks stop and

3
00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:21.720

or not? Now the non-Christian you're hearing

12
00:01:12.020 --> 00:01:18.260
gets through to one heart here today the freedom that can come to you is that

13
00:01:18.260 --> 00:01:26.960
wait a minute I am not any longer under a judgment sheet or a scorecard that I

14
00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:31.540
prayed so long on Monday not so good on Tuesday but I'll make it up on Wednesday

15
00:01:31.540 --> 00:01:37.620
I didn't get to my Bible on Monday but I'll read double extra on Tuesday get

16
00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:47.780
away from that it's liberating how can I pester by his grace unmerited favor

17
00:01:47.780 --> 00:01:53.740
ordained by God given by him distributed abundantly there's no listen there's

18
00:01:53.740 --> 00:02:01.100
no running low on his grace to the believer and so the question comes down to

19
00:02:01.100 --> 00:02:09.540
am I a Jew inwardly am I a worshiper and praser of the Almighty God of the Bible

20
00:02:09.940 --> 00:02:19.100
in the life I live that's the question Ephesians 4 verse 30 says do not

21
00:02:19.100 --> 00:02:25.340
grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom we were sealed for the day of redemption

22
00:02:25.340 --> 00:02:31.260
sealed I know we've gone over this verse a couple weeks ago but I don't know if

23
00:02:31.260 --> 00:02:34.460
we unpacked that word seal can you look at it let's look it on the screen you

24
00:02:34.460 --> 00:02:37.780
guys check this out you might want to take a picture of this this is incredible

25
00:02:37.780 --> 00:02:42.340
this is the Greek word this is what it means God's word the believer it says do

26
00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:47.300
not grieve the Holy Spirit don't take the Holy Spirit that's in your life as a

27
00:02:47.300 --> 00:02:59.700
believer in thought or indeed that's going to wound him you can wound the Holy

28
00:02:59.700 --> 00:03:06.420
Spirit who lives in you if a believer looks at pornography that's wounding the

29
00:03:06.420 --> 00:03:15.420
Holy Spirit if somebody lies to their boss or their employee and you're a

30
00:03:15.420 --> 00:03:20.020
believer you're wounding the Holy Spirit you hear me if you cheat on your

31
00:03:20.020 --> 00:03:24.620
income tax that's wounding the Holy Spirit he know listen he's the God of all

32
00:03:24.620 --> 00:03:32.340
truth so watch this it's the whole see why why is that such a big deal this is a

33
00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:35.340
reason why are you guys still with me you're very quiet are you good are we all

34
00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:42.860
right okay listen this is why it's a big deal the word used is to set a seal

35
00:03:42.860 --> 00:03:53.100
upon mark with the seal to seal for security from destruction from Satan to mark

36
00:03:53.100 --> 00:04:03.420
by pressing into or upon or by embossing stamping or sealing for the purpose of

37
00:04:03.420 --> 00:04:08.700
identification I love this for the purpose of identification and proof of

38
00:04:08.700 --> 00:04:19.820
ownership to authenticate an individual think of it some of you is anybody you

39
00:04:19.820 --> 00:04:27.860
see I you got a UCI hoodie on you see I listen on him it's marked you see I you see

40
00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:35.620
I yeah okay anteaters we don't even have anteaters in Orange County but who thought

41
00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:42.260
that up I don't know but the Los Angeles Rams and they put the get the helmet on

42
00:04:42.260 --> 00:04:50.020
and the horns on listen you're marking yourselves identity with the certain

43
00:04:50.020 --> 00:04:57.700
theme the Holy Spirit comes into your life and says you belong to me and I have

44
00:04:57.700 --> 00:05:03.220
marked you imagine in the spiritual realm in the invisible world of the love of

45
00:05:03.220 --> 00:05:08.460
God there's a marking on you imagine if we could see that now I could argue that

46
00:05:08.460 --> 00:05:13.780
we can in a way by how we live and act but imagine instantly right now if I

47
00:05:13.780 --> 00:05:21.420
could put on like you know Hobo Kelly glasses and I see Johnny or whoever that

48
00:05:21.420 --> 00:05:27.060
person was me anos and imagine if I could look across here and I see the indicator

49
00:05:27.060 --> 00:05:30.900
of the Holy Spirit that's what that word means to be marked and sealed and embossed upon

50
00:05:30.900 --> 00:05:35.820
by the Holy Spirit why for authentication authenticated the fact that you are

51
00:05:35.820 --> 00:05:42.700
owned by God and listen go ahead and write me about this next statement I'm not

52
00:05:42.700 --> 00:05:48.700
gonna answer you if God says he seals you with this Holy Spirit of ownership for

53
00:05:48.700 --> 00:05:53.700
identification I cannot find one verse in the scriptures because I've tried

54
00:05:53.700 --> 00:06:02.700
where he unseals you you can't find it the question is make sure you're sealed

55
00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:10.780
make sure you're a lover of God absolutely second Timothy chapter 2 verse 19

56
00:06:10.780 --> 00:06:17.660
nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands listen to that having this seal the Lord

57
00:06:17.660 --> 00:06:25.420
knows those who are his same end is that awesome God knows those who are his I'm comforted by that

58
00:06:26.140 --> 00:06:30.780
you said well I don't know if I am my head am I his am I not what am I do you want to be yes

59
00:06:34.780 --> 00:06:44.540
if you want to be his that's because he put the wana in you that's not your wana he gave you the

60
00:06:44.540 --> 00:06:52.220
wana the person is sitting here today or watching right now saying I don't want to I'm just being

61
00:06:52.220 --> 00:06:59.180
I'm being made by these Christians bride me to come here that if I just endured your mouth

62
00:06:59.180 --> 00:07:07.820
for 55 minutes I would get a free breakfast you don't have the wana you don't care about the

63
00:07:07.820 --> 00:07:15.820
wana you don't have the wana if someone says I want I have God in my life God put the wana in you

64
00:07:16.780 --> 00:07:25.820
that's from him God knows those who are his first John 513 these things I have written unto you

65
00:07:25.820 --> 00:07:32.940
who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life and that

66
00:07:32.940 --> 00:07:43.420
you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God Wow Jeremiah 31 verses 31 to 33 by because

67
00:07:43.420 --> 00:07:50.940
of time and length sake I will simply say this that passage of scripture says to the Jewish people

68
00:07:50.940 --> 00:07:57.100
I am going to do away with the commandments that was written on stone ladies and gentlemen listen

69
00:07:58.060 --> 00:08:06.220
are you aware of any commandments that were written in stone the big 10 God says I'm going to do

70
00:08:06.220 --> 00:08:13.820
away with them someday now that sounds like listen to a Jew that sounds like blasphemy but I'm quoting

71
00:08:13.820 --> 00:08:23.340
the Jew Jeremiah this is from the Old Testament and he announces there in Jeremiah 31 verses 31

72
00:08:23.340 --> 00:08:32.860
to 33 I'm going to do away with the law that my children broke in the wilderness and I'm going to

73
00:08:32.860 --> 00:08:41.500
have a new covenant with them friends listen God says to the Jewish people I'm going to give you a new

74
00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:47.660
covenant and that's the covenant Paul's talking about it's not a covenant that was determined by

75
00:08:47.660 --> 00:08:57.100
outward flesh cut away it's a covenant that is determined by inward flesh cut away we're the

76
00:08:57.100 --> 00:09:04.220
deadness of your hearts removed and a new heart is put in you God does that and then he says how

77
00:09:04.220 --> 00:09:10.940
much more will the salvation of Israel be when God focuses on the Jew again in the last days think

78
00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:17.660
of that can you imagine when when listen when Jews start getting saved it's going to it's going to

79
00:09:17.660 --> 00:09:23.660
be like having a bunch of Paul the apostles around we're going to look like Sunday school kids

80
00:09:24.300 --> 00:09:27.980
compared to what God's going to do with the Jewish people it's coming

81
00:09:29.260 --> 00:09:35.500
Ezekiel 36 27 says to the Jew I will put my spirit within you you say wait a minute pastor that's

82
00:09:35.500 --> 00:09:41.100
Christian doctrine listen it's Christian doctrine because it's been adopted from the Old Testament

83
00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:48.860
I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and you will keep my

84
00:09:48.860 --> 00:09:54.700
judgments and do them how are the Jews going to be obedient same way you are the believer the

85
00:09:54.700 --> 00:10:01.980
Holy Spirit in you does it I don't need a road sign I've got him talking to me I don't need a

86
00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:08.380
10 rules he speaks to me constantly you know God speaks and listen I gotta I gotta go here here's

87
00:10:08.380 --> 00:10:15.340
the thing is if you doubt God speaks stop and pause and think the next time you do something

88
00:10:15.340 --> 00:10:23.660
wrong ask yourself is he speaking or not now the non-Christian you're hearing crickets there's

89
00:10:23.660 --> 00:10:31.180
nothing there but the believer I don't know if God speaking to me well the next time you do

90
00:10:31.180 --> 00:10:45.260
something wrong take a listen I say a 42 verse 6 I can't tell you how many times I've used this

91
00:10:45.580 --> 00:10:54.380
on some of my dear friends who do not yet know Jesus as Messiah Isaiah 42 verse 6 I the Lord

92
00:10:54.380 --> 00:11:06.060
have called you in righteousness and will hold your hand I will keep you and give you

93
00:11:06.540 --> 00:11:19.340
as a covenant to the people as a light to the Gentiles do you hear this just this week this week end

94
00:11:21.660 --> 00:11:28.220
in studying for this message obviously I came across this verse I took that verse and I sent it

95
00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:36.140
to a Jewish friend of mine and I simply said Shabbat Shalom as I was studying for Sunday's

96
00:11:36.140 --> 00:11:40.140
message I came across one of your passages of scripture from one of your prophets

97
00:11:43.180 --> 00:11:52.620
and I am as a Gentile want you to know that I am hanging on listen how I I said I'm hanging

98
00:11:52.780 --> 00:12:02.860
on to this verse trusting that the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob is the one who it has said I can

99
00:12:02.860 --> 00:12:11.260
be adopted into his family as a Gentile and this is proof of it have a great Sabbath no seriously

100
00:12:12.300 --> 00:12:19.100
I honored his God his God and my God's the same God except he's I'm going the right way and he's

101
00:12:19.100 --> 00:12:28.060
going the wrong way Jesus said nobody comes to the Father but through me so watch I the Lord

102
00:12:28.060 --> 00:12:39.900
have called you in righteousness and I will hold your hand listen to him God says I will keep you

103
00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:49.900
I mean I could live off those just four words right there and give you as a covenant to the people

104
00:12:49.900 --> 00:13:01.740
the word people here is the word nations as a light to the Gentiles you know why he's you know

105
00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:08.380
why he would send the Jews to be a light to the nations into the Gentiles so that the Gentiles

106
00:13:08.380 --> 00:13:18.940
and the nations could put their faith in him ancient ancient Hebrew teaching had no problem with

107
00:13:18.940 --> 00:13:25.020
a Gentile becoming a believer that's why many times in scripture you read in the Old Testament

108
00:13:25.020 --> 00:13:37.500
that when the foreigner comes in among you and accepts my word over and over again then there's

109
00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:46.460
this thing where traditions through a modernized or mechanized Judaism robbed the promise of the

110
00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:51.820
scriptures and made it all about do's and don'ts and rules and regulations and humanized it

111
00:13:52.780 --> 00:14:01.980
are you with me that made us the outsiders having no access to eternal life and provoked them to

112
00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:12.140
not recognize the Messiah when he arrived two thousand years ago you see where are you circumcised

113
00:14:14.940 --> 00:14:20.780
I hope it's in your heart how can you experience this for yourself is that you can live with reality

114
00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:29.420
glory to God the circumcision is that of the heart in the spirit notice your Bible has capital S

115
00:14:29.420 --> 00:14:34.300
that's the Holy Spirit not in the flat not in the letter that's the law whose praise is not

116
00:14:34.300 --> 00:14:41.260
from men but from God so this is great we end with this watch this there here's the reality

117
00:14:44.380 --> 00:14:52.780
that God desires to do work in your life and many of you would say he's doing it he's doing it day by day

118
00:14:52.780 --> 00:14:59.820
week by week month by month year by year sometimes slow sometimes faster right and those of us who

119
00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:06.700
know this we we look at where we're at and I haven't been a Christian for over 40 years I'm very

120
00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:16.140
disgusted with my immaturity as a Christian you think after 40 years so this week preparing for

121
00:15:16.140 --> 00:15:23.740
the message I began beating myself up and then the Lord reminded me hey cheer up look where Moses

122
00:15:23.740 --> 00:15:37.740
was after 40 years and it's like that's awesome God thank you it's true right I mean after 40

123
00:15:37.740 --> 00:15:48.940
years I'm the guy you know it's got an attitude and he murders somebody and throws down tablets and

124
00:15:51.340 --> 00:15:56.060
can you imagine God gives him a tank of mammoths this is my word oh my goodness and then Moses

125
00:15:56.060 --> 00:16:03.420
walks down the mountain and he sees what the people doing he's what God says what are you doing

126
00:16:03.580 --> 00:16:10.300
what are you doing what are you doing you know there's 10 there's revision one and revision two you know

127
00:16:11.260 --> 00:16:16.860
the first 10 Moses broke then God said all right all right I'm going to get to do this again

128
00:16:17.820 --> 00:16:25.260
could they get the second set that's that's a message by the way that's a that's a message the law

129
00:16:25.260 --> 00:16:39.180
breaks can't save I leave you with this let's stand even this I've used this verse before it's so offensive

130
00:16:40.380 --> 00:16:48.220
a Bible verse it's so offensive to the legal mind and I'm not talking an attorney if you're a legalist

131
00:16:48.300 --> 00:16:55.900
you're going to hate this okay if you're a loser like me saved by the grace of God you're going to love

132
00:16:55.900 --> 00:17:10.540
this so the promise technically is given to the nation of Israel okay but it's true for all who come

133
00:17:11.260 --> 00:17:20.780
to believe in him it's Zephaniah 3 17 the Lord your God in your midst

134
00:17:22.780 --> 00:17:34.300
the mighty one will save any doubt there no he will rejoice over you with gladness he will rejoice

135
00:17:34.300 --> 00:17:40.860
over you with gladness he will quiet you with his love does that sound amazing

136
00:17:43.660 --> 00:17:49.900
he will rejoice over you with singing he that God will do three things

137
00:17:52.300 --> 00:18:00.700
he will be so glad speaking in human terms Jack I am so glad you're in heaven

138
00:18:01.500 --> 00:18:08.060
Lord not as glad as I am I don't think I'll say that I'm just thinking

139
00:18:10.940 --> 00:18:21.020
he will quiet me with his love it's all this jack it's all over now it's all done you're here

140
00:18:22.220 --> 00:18:29.100
you've kept the faith you've finished the race well done that good and faithful serve

141
00:18:30.700 --> 00:18:36.060
I'm looking to him to do that and I'm doing this because he's patting me until I burp or something

142
00:18:37.020 --> 00:18:47.420
he's comforting me quieting me with his love and then he's going to rejoice over me with singing

143
00:18:48.060 --> 00:18:53.020
can you imagine Jack I've been waiting to sing you a song

144
00:18:53.340 --> 00:18:59.100
so let me sing you this song it's a gutz and do this

145
00:19:00.620 --> 00:19:04.220
