00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.820
Real life presents the Jack Hibbs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim

2
00:00:05.820 --> 00:00:12.320
truth, equip the saints, and impact our culture. Jesus sets people free. He

3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:16.920
washes away your sins, he moves inside, it's not religion, it's meeting the

4
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:21.060
Lord Jesus Christ in reality, and he's the one that gets you ready for heaven.

5
00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:25.400
He does it and you don't. You cooperate, you walk with him.

life in Christ, then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings. To us,

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:48.680
that's like saying amen or yes, then that rating will encourage others to listen.

10
00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:55.040
Now open your hearts to what God's Word has to say to you. Here is Jack Hibbs.

11
00:00:55.800 --> 00:01:00.440
Are you free to follow Jesus? Are you free from what the world would try to

12
00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:05.360
bring under you and it's bondage and it's intimidation? I don't have the

13
00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:10.400
time to tell you what we've gone through this week with intimidation from the

14
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.120
media world. They can do anything they want, they can make up whatever they

15
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.280
want to do to try to silence the truth. Guess what? God will never allow his

16
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:26.440
truth to be silenced. Ever. It's impossible to silence true. Jesus said, I'm

17
00:01:26.440 --> 00:01:29.920
the way the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father but through me.

18
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.800
And you can do all you want to shut that down but you can never shut it down.

19
00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:39.520
God will go right around it and we hurt it all. All the excuses, oh we're sorry

20
00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:43.800
and we don't know why and this and the other and oh maybe that and then this and

21
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:49.160
one of the accusations against me is I preached a sermon that I wrote my

22
00:01:49.160 --> 00:01:57.800
sermon without quoting any other human being, me, mine and in fact copywritten by

23
00:01:57.800 --> 00:02:07.680
me and they accused me of breaking copyright laws on that sermon. How do you do

24
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:16.840
that? I ripped myself off. And then when that was pointed out that went away.

25
00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:22.080
The world is going to do whatever it does do and everyone listen we'll try to

26
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:27.000
push their authority on you. Just know this. Jesus Christ is the king of kings

27
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:32.640
and the Lord of Lords and your his child and and he rules and reigns in your

28
00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:39.840
life. Listen, Benjamin Franklin said God governs in the affairs of men and I

29
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.280
believe Ben Franklin because he was simply quoting really good theology.

30
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.520
There's a new authority. For Christ also suffered once for sins the just that's

31
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:56.480
him for the unjust that's me that he might bring us to God being put to death in

32
00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:00.840
the flesh Jesus died in the flesh but made alive by the spirit. It's the spirit

33
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.640
of God the Bible says that resurrected Jesus from the dead. How could the grave

34
00:03:05.640 --> 00:03:10.680
what why didn't the grave keep him down because listen because he was sinless

35
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:17.120
Jesus wasn't a really good man who impressed God and won the prize the Bible

36
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.720
says that he was the God man who came from heaven to earth to live in this

37
00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:26.760
world and meet all the requirements of the law. Satisfying the law imagine if

38
00:03:26.760 --> 00:03:31.560
Moses could have been personified 2000 years ago in the 10 commandments Jesus

39
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.440
would have lived his life at the end of his 33 and a quarter years. Moses would

40
00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:44.280
have went awesome. That's incredible. So you're the one I prophesied about. Moses

41
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:54.440
would have bowed down. He lived the perfect life you and I can't. He died on the

42
00:03:54.440 --> 00:04:00.200
cross his body died on the cross by the way you do know that right his body

43
00:04:00.200 --> 00:04:05.240
died on the cross that's all that died on the cross is his body as a sacrifice

44
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:10.440
by the way when you and I die that's all that dies is your body you know the

45
00:04:10.440 --> 00:04:20.040
you the you that you are that lives forever where are you going last service

46
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.800
somebody came here from Atlanta and they said I got a hurry got a hurry back to

47
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:28.440
Ontario Port I get a catch my flight back out to Atlanta came to first service

48
00:04:28.440 --> 00:04:34.280
so I said where you going Atlanta can you say today if somebody asks you where

49
00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:40.360
you going heaven hopefully it's the next flight out of here would that be great

50
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.600
heaven do you know that you're supposed to know that the Bible tells us to know

51
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:51.560
that the Bible says in 1 John 3 verse 5 and you know that he that is the son of

52
00:04:52.280 --> 00:04:59.560
was manifest to take away our sins Jesus came to take away our sins and in him

53
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:08.040
there is no sin there you go the sinless had to die for the sinful the just for the unjust

54
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:16.920
watch if you have a problem with that God is saying to you today you need to get right for heaven

55
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:24.920
if you have a problem with that it's called pride I'll do it myself pride I don't need this

56
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:33.720
yes you do no I don't it's pride did I already say this we're not asking you for a penny

57
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:39.320
we don't listen you wait listen God bless you but you don't have to come back here ever again

58
00:05:39.400 --> 00:05:51.560
there's no membership to sign up on did we pass the plate we only want you to make sure

59
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:59.880
you're right with him and it's between you and him and when he calls you out on the inside

60
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:07.880
you're to respond to him he is sinless and pure and he died where I was supposed to die

61
00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:14.120
and he rose again from the dead so that the grave could never hold me or you if you trust him

62
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:19.800
you know that the Bible says for the Christian the Christ follower to be absent from this human

63
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:25.160
bodies to be present with the Lord wouldn't you like to know for sure that the moment you breathe

64
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:30.840
your last or you see that train coming down the track or that truck you you just know that last

65
00:06:30.840 --> 00:06:35.320
moment oh my goodness I'm going to see Jesus right now the Bible says to be absent from this

66
00:06:35.320 --> 00:06:40.760
bodies to be present and the word is immediately we'll do have to walk through some gauntlet no

67
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:49.880
instantly even before Stephen died in the book of Acts he saw the glory of God before he

68
00:06:49.880 --> 00:06:57.240
breathed this last is that the authority that's over your life it's your choice

69
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:02.760
there is an authority over your life if you like it or not it's either you or God

70
00:07:04.840 --> 00:07:13.240
in 1st Peter chapter 2 verse 24 1st Peter 2 24 who himself at his Jesus bore our sins in his own

71
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:20.680
body wow on the tree that's a reference to the cross it's made out of wood that we have

72
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:26.840
been died to sins that is how do I die to sins I receive him as Lord and Savior I ask him to come

73
00:07:26.840 --> 00:07:32.040
into my life that's when the Holy Spirit takes over and sin no longer has the strength of the power

74
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:36.600
that it once had in my life do you guys want to stand that those of you who are new to this

75
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:43.480
everybody around us we're all the same the only difference is there are people here that are saved

76
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:47.960
and people here that are not saved what does that mean there are people here going to heaven and

77
00:07:48.440 --> 00:07:55.000
there are people here going to hell well that's not nice but it's true well I don't want to go great

78
00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:01.000
grab the ticket it's already paid for what's the ticket he died for you on the cross rules again

79
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.400
from the dead he paid the price that you couldn't pay to give you his righteousness that you could

80
00:08:05.400 --> 00:08:12.680
never earn it's a great exchange and when you realize that you fall in your face and you realize

81
00:08:12.760 --> 00:08:18.920
oh my gosh Lord how can you be so good to me I'm a wretch oh wretched man that I am who shall

82
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:23.160
deliver me from this body of sin and death says Paul I thank God

83
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.520
that there's therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus and a new

84
00:08:30.520 --> 00:08:36.680
law is written in my life by the Holy Spirit's power God puts the love in your heart to love him

85
00:08:36.680 --> 00:08:42.920
is that weird think about that do you love me you ask somebody do you love me and you say

86
00:08:42.920 --> 00:08:48.280
yeah I love you no no I'm really really stop going down do you love me yeah I said I love you don't

87
00:08:48.280 --> 00:08:56.840
say it like that do you love me listen again if you have to ask if you're loved you need marriage

88
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:02.440
counseling no no that's meant to be funny if you're married and you have to ask someone do you love

89
00:09:03.160 --> 00:09:08.040
that's the that's the same we got to get that fixed it's free you need to come we got to get

90
00:09:08.040 --> 00:09:14.040
Bible no I'm serious we all have different languages and we need to learn how to speak them

91
00:09:14.680 --> 00:09:20.840
but one of this things should be absolutely unshakable and that is I know that I love Lisa

92
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:25.000
and I know that she loves me that she put up with a lot can you imagine being married to me

93
00:09:25.400 --> 00:09:33.800
that's why she's like this she's like a steady ship at sea I'm like going from wave to wave

94
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:42.040
God's God is a way of doing crazy things right I'm grateful but just know that

95
00:09:42.760 --> 00:09:48.280
God wants you to know that his love is upon your life and the Bible tells you in Hebrews chapter 9

96
00:09:48.280 --> 00:09:54.120
verse 28 so Christ that is Jesus was offered once to bear the sins of many

97
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.720
are you in that many imagine that he died for the sins of all there is a while you say

98
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.640
how come it says many are not all because this is all in some places this it's true he died for all

99
00:10:07.640 --> 00:10:14.760
but not all except him that's the many he died for everybody you could be sitting in the church

100
00:10:14.760 --> 00:10:20.600
right here right now and saying yeah you know I guess that's all good for you guys Christ died

101
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:26.680
for the many he died for the all but to settle it in your own life you need to make the decision

102
00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:32.440
for yourself and then also this you guys is that there's a new order in verse 3 there's a new order

103
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:39.080
by design for what the law could not do listen up everyone for what the law could not do and that

104
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:47.480
it was weak through the flesh I love this God did I love that so who wouldn't amend it the

105
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:52.840
law is awesome and holy and pure right yeah all of that stuff totally true you just said it's weak

106
00:10:53.800 --> 00:10:59.400
yeah it is weak listen I'm quoting Paul the Apostle here from the Bible for some of you who are

107
00:10:59.400 --> 00:11:04.840
legalists maybe you're Jewish today and you're saying I find that highly offensive I get it but

108
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:11.720
can I remind you I'm reading from a Jew 2,000 years ago who knew about being a Jew way more than

109
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:21.160
you do he was the Jew of Jews the Hebrew of Hebrews he was Saul of Tarsus Paul the Apostle

110
00:11:22.520 --> 00:11:30.840
and he says the law is amazing but it's got a weak spot what's the weak spot can't save you let's

111
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:37.880
go to the meaning of that word weak the word means feeble you never think of the law being feeble do

112
00:11:37.880 --> 00:11:46.360
you it's in stone the 10 commandments yeah it's awesome to point out what's wrong and to tell you

113
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:53.800
what to do but does anywhere in the 10 commandments is it anywhere in the Bible tell you in the

114
00:11:53.800 --> 00:12:02.120
Old Testament laws how to be saved the law is feeble it's unable it's without the strength to help

115
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:08.680
or to save it's powerless regarding the context of salvation that is redemption forgiveness restoration

116
00:12:08.680 --> 00:12:16.040
access into the presence of heaven it cannot do it can't do it so I've told you guys this before

117
00:12:16.040 --> 00:12:23.000
and I'm I've burned out this analogy I'm trying to milk it as long as I can but I told you before

118
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:30.840
that some dear friends of ours got me for my birthday a race a racetrack on the Porsche race course

119
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:44.120
in in LA for 90 minutes you got to go as fast as you want and you know what about 100 I don't know

120
00:12:44.680 --> 00:12:55.640
just to be safe 100 200 feet away was the 405 freeway I'm going 180 and they're going 55

121
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:07.080
you can go look at it online it's amazing here's the thing they had to drive 55 white's posted

122
00:13:08.040 --> 00:13:15.160
but what are you doing 55 why is that important you it's the law what are you doing

123
00:13:15.880 --> 00:13:27.480
well right now 120 180 how are you able to do that it's not posted do you hear me it's a race track

124
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.960
there's no speed limit there's no law to break

125
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:39.560
you can have all the laws that you want you'll be weighed under a pressure and you'll you'll

126
00:13:39.560 --> 00:13:46.360
you're you're a Christian who wants that you not only don't have people who want to be with you

127
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:51.560
you don't want to be with you because your experience with God is a real bummer

128
00:13:54.120 --> 00:14:00.120
and then you realize wait a minute he lifted the law that it doesn't condemn me anymore and all

129
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:06.200
of my wrongs that's right not only that he's going to write that law the spirit of the law he's

130
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:13.400
going to write on your heart you don't have to read it you put it in you and he's going to do it

131
00:14:13.400 --> 00:14:23.080
through you here's the here's what you'll do for the rest of your life cooperate put your foot

132
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:31.960
on the pedal and go break when you need to tomorrow morning or today when you get out of this

133
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:37.960
church you should be hell should tremble when these doors open up hell should go oh gosh there they

134
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:49.160
go they're loose why because of the spirit of the law that God has placed in your heart is the

135
00:14:49.160 --> 00:14:57.880
spirit of life not of stone and that's a whole new order over your life designed by God

136
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:06.840
listen to this acts 1339 says for by him that's Jesus Christ everyone who believes is justified

137
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:13.240
from all from listen from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses

138
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:20.840
is that anymore clear beware therefore lest what has been spoken in the prophets the Old Testament

139
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:29.720
prophets come upon you what is that behold you despisers marvel and perish why for I work a work in

140
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:36.280
your days a work which you will by no means believe the one word to declare it to you I'm

141
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:45.720
declaring it to you Jesus sets people free he washes away your sins he moves inside it's not religion

142
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:50.840
it's meeting the Lord Jesus Christ in reality and he's the one that gets you ready for heaven he

143
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:55.400
does it and you know you cooperate you walk with them when Jesus went through the toll gate with

144
00:15:55.400 --> 00:16:01.240
Matthew in the north of Galilee all he said to Matthew was imagine that he's a he's a he's a

145
00:16:01.880 --> 00:16:06.920
he's a toll keeper Matthews he's sitting there you're supposed to pay him money when you go through

146
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:14.600
the regions in Jesus is walks by there's the Bible doesn't say Jesus paid anything maybe he did it

147
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:22.760
doesn't say he probably did but it doesn't say but he just walks by in the Bible says that he looks

148
00:16:22.760 --> 00:16:32.120
to Peter says come follow me now son I love that how many rules how many rules how many rules did

149
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:41.480
he set up Peter I mean Matthew here's the deal set up these seven hurdles and then I'm going to

150
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:48.040
have quick sand at the other end and after you make it through all that I want you to climb that

151
00:16:48.040 --> 00:16:56.520
tree he didn't do any of that stuff he just said Matthew come and follow me kind of invitation is

152
00:16:56.520 --> 00:17:01.480
I can imagine Billy Graham are being a crusaders like that or Greg Laurie at a crusade I have a

153
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:07.720
message Jesus said come and follow me God bless you thanks for coming that's it but you know that

154
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:13.240
isn't that true come and follow me Romans chapter 5 verse 6 says for when we were still without

155
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:22.040
strength I love this translation for when we were still without the ability to pull ourselves out

156
00:17:22.040 --> 00:17:31.560
of the hole we had no strength left to get ourselves out of what was causing us to sink is it drugs

157
00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:38.920
is it a bad relationship is it sex is it money is it power what is it when you have no I you

158
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:43.080
I pass you Jack I appreciate what you're saying but there could never be a change in my life

159
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.720
you're stuck in a hole you're trying to do it your way

160
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:56.440
as long as you keep trying to get yourself out of it he's got to wait it's like the man drowning

161
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:04.360
don't ever try to rescue a guy drowning stay away from him so that's cool that's brilliant let him

162
00:18:04.360 --> 00:18:12.760
drowned then rescue him because he'll kill himself and you wait till he's completely devised it got

163
00:18:12.760 --> 00:18:17.400
does that with you and I God help me out of the way because I messed up I tried everything

164
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:24.840
he takes it that's the number one thing for me is that he takes it I just go but he's not like me so

165
00:18:26.120 --> 00:18:32.440
he he just waits it's not offended he's listening and then you start going under it done you spent

166
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:39.400
it all you've tried it all and he starts singing and he grabs you pull as you out of the pit
