WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.400 I believe he is asking me to address something that I had no intention of addressing. 00:05.660 --> 00:08.120 Just stay in your spots if you would. You don't have to leave. 00:12.960 --> 00:13.780 Thank you. 00:16.620 --> 00:23.100 I want to bring something out that I think many Christians are not aware of. 00:28.370 --> 00:32.630 And it goes right along with what we are talking about right now. 00:34.450 --> 00:35.750 Hopefully I can find it. 00:37.570 --> 00:38.350 Here it is. 00:39.670 --> 00:46.110 I'm just going to grab the picture from the Old Testament. I won't take the time to go to the New Testament. 00:50.610 --> 00:53.690 Let me just read a couple of pieces out of Numbers 15. 00:57.640 --> 01:03.380 Verse 22, I'm in the NIV. Now, if you unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands, 01:03.380 --> 01:10.380 the Lord gave Moses verse 24. 01:11.480 --> 01:15.400 And if this is done unintentionally without the community being aware of it, 01:16.080 --> 01:20.840 then there's offering for the sin. And he describes that. He explains that. 01:21.020 --> 01:25.580 The priest will make atonement, verse 25, for the whole community. 01:25.760 --> 01:29.880 And they will be forgiven for it was not intentional. 01:31.260 --> 01:38.240 And they have brought to the Lord for their wrong in offering made by fire and sin offering. 01:40.360 --> 01:49.180 Verse 27, if one person sins unintentionally, then that person must bring the offering. 01:49.380 --> 01:52.320 In verse 28, the priest will make atonement. 01:53.520 --> 01:56.660 And in the verse 28, he will be forgiven. 01:58.160 --> 02:04.840 Verse 30, but if anyone sins defiantly or intentionally, 02:07.180 --> 02:09.540 that person must be cut off from his people. 02:10.880 --> 02:15.060 Because he has despised the Lord's word and broken his commands. 02:16.340 --> 02:21.020 That person must surely be cut off. His guilt remains upon him. 02:22.880 --> 02:28.060 The same thing is said, white and gold there. It's in Hebrews 10, verse 26. 02:29.660 --> 02:34.140 If we deliberately, intentionally, deliberately keep on sinning 02:34.140 --> 02:36.500 after we have received the knowledge of the truth, 02:37.420 --> 02:39.980 no sacrifice for sin is left, 02:40.180 --> 02:44.780 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire 02:44.780 --> 02:46.660 that will consume the enemies of God. 02:49.160 --> 02:53.260 Israel is a picture of those of us living for God, the church. 02:56.740 --> 03:00.800 Did you know that intentional sin was not forgiven in the Old Testament? 03:08.020 --> 03:11.240 Unintentional sin was covered by the sacrifice. 03:13.240 --> 03:18.560 Intentional and like one of the, I think the NIV said, defiant sin. 03:18.780 --> 03:20.880 In other words, this isn't a one-time choice. 03:21.540 --> 03:27.180 This is a lifestyle of, I'm not going to do this. I'm going to do my own thing. 03:27.360 --> 03:31.560 And it's sin. It was not forgiven in the Old Testament. 03:33.920 --> 03:41.360 Surprise, surprise, if we deliberately keep on sinning, 03:41.540 --> 03:44.820 same thing, chapter 10, verse 26 of Hebrews, 03:46.360 --> 03:50.380 it's not a one-time choice. It's a lifestyle we're living in. 03:50.380 --> 03:52.440 I know this is sin. I know it's wrong. 03:52.580 --> 03:55.940 But I'm going to deliberately keep on doing it. It's not forgiven. 03:57.760 --> 04:00.480 I'll just go and God ask forgiveness. It's not forgiven. 04:02.940 --> 04:06.560 Neither Old Testament nor New Testament, it's not forgiven. 04:09.460 --> 04:11.820 We can't play that game with God. 04:16.260 --> 04:18.620 You say, well, grace should be able to cover that. 04:18.620 --> 04:23.060 If, quote the rest of that verse, 04:26.180 --> 04:35.320 He continually pours out grace on those who are humble enough to receive it. 04:36.240 --> 04:42.220 Grace can cover everything if we will humble ourselves to receive the grace. 04:43.520 --> 04:47.860 Deliberately choosing to do what we know God does not want us to do 04:47.860 --> 04:51.660 is not humility. It's pride and arrogance. 04:57.480 --> 05:05.340 I honestly believe this morning He's waiting for some of us to get over our pride and arrogance 05:07.400 --> 05:12.900 and stop deliberately intentionally living a lifestyle of sin. 05:14.380 --> 05:18.020 And thinking we're okay. I'm a believer. Well, so are the devils. 05:19.820 --> 05:24.420 That's not a chip in your chart. I'm a believer. 05:25.100 --> 05:28.300 That's great. That's where we all start and we need to stay believers, 05:28.400 --> 05:30.440 but at some point we actually need to submit. 05:33.120 --> 05:37.480 And we might have one, two, three things hidden in the closet 05:38.800 --> 05:44.860 that is an intentional, deliberate lifestyle of sin. 05:44.860 --> 05:46.640 Let's call it what it is. Sin. 05:48.180 --> 05:51.320 And God's saying, I'm waiting for you to deal with that. 05:53.640 --> 05:58.440 As long as it's deliberate and intentional on our side, there's no forgiveness. 05:59.900 --> 06:02.740 That's both old and New Testament. There's no forgiveness. 06:04.500 --> 06:10.600 The only thing that remains is waiting for the consuming. 06:10.600 --> 06:13.460 How did he say it? Let me read it again. 06:15.020 --> 06:21.640 No sacrifice for sin is left, verse 27, but only a fearful expectation of judgment 06:21.640 --> 06:26.420 and of raging fire which will consume the enemies of God. 06:29.400 --> 06:33.700 And then he goes on and explains himself. And then verse 31, 06:34.400 --> 06:38.040 it is a dreadful thing to fall in the hands of the living God. 06:38.680 --> 06:44.200 When you're living in deliberate sin, it's a dreadful thing. 06:52.080 --> 06:56.340 Grace covers when we're humble enough to ask for it. 06:57.980 --> 07:02.800 When we have these hidden things in our life, these things in the closet, so to speak, 07:04.760 --> 07:10.400 and many times even the public doesn't know, it's something we do at home, it's secret, it's private. 07:10.400 --> 07:14.080 And we know God's not in favor of it. 07:15.340 --> 07:18.000 But we deliberately just keep on living in it. 07:20.060 --> 07:25.280 That is extremely thin ice, dangerous ground. 07:26.340 --> 07:30.000 Because you're literally living in something that has not been forgiven 07:30.000 --> 07:33.080 and won't be forgiven until the attitude changes of, 07:33.080 --> 07:38.580 okay God help me get over this, I'm going to quit deliberately and intentionally doing this. 07:43.390 --> 07:50.290 So since this is something you have to choose to do at home in your personal and your private life, wherever that may be, 07:52.190 --> 07:55.030 I'm not going to ask you to come to the front and we pray with you. 07:57.110 --> 08:02.710 But I believe the Lord is waiting on us to deal with that. 08:05.050 --> 08:09.210 And I will say according to Hebrews, your salvation is at stake. 08:11.210 --> 08:14.110 Or why would he say there's only one thing left for you? 08:15.770 --> 08:17.870 It's the consuming fire of God. 08:18.410 --> 08:23.850 And he throws it, he throws those people, he was writing to the Hebrews church, he wasn't writing to unbelievers. 08:24.450 --> 08:30.510 He throws those people into enemy status with God because of their willful defiance of God. 08:31.050 --> 08:35.630 As Christians, which is like, that's contradictory. 08:36.670 --> 08:40.850 Well yeah, but that's how they were living and you know what, that's how many people live today. 08:41.770 --> 08:44.890 We're Christians, but we're living in willful defiance of God. 08:45.450 --> 08:46.530 God says you're my enemy. 08:47.610 --> 08:50.610 So only one thing waiting for you is the judgment and the fire of God. 08:56.830 --> 09:04.330 So, without any fanfare or anything, I'm going to pray, this is a choice morning for you. 09:04.510 --> 09:07.030 This is a choice, we got to make a choice this moment. 09:08.250 --> 09:09.990 He's calling you to a choice. 09:11.990 --> 09:13.330 What are you going to do with this? 09:17.700 --> 09:22.500 And you don't have to be perfect, you don't have to get it perfectly right from here forward. 09:22.500 --> 09:27.560 You're going to have to grow out, get sanctified, sanctification is a process. 09:28.180 --> 09:31.520 You're going to have to get sanctified out of this, but your attitude needs a change. 09:32.440 --> 09:35.100 You can't keep holding that attitude and be right with God. 09:39.930 --> 09:46.470 So Father, I pray in Jesus' name right now that whoever the ones are that I'm speaking to, 09:46.590 --> 09:52.850 whether here or online, that they make the right choice. 09:54.270 --> 10:02.830 Holy Spirit, this is your job to convince us of what is wrong and convince us of what is right. 10:04.250 --> 10:10.350 So Holy Spirit, I fully say I can't do anything more than what I just said, I spoke the word. 10:12.410 --> 10:15.190 Your job is to touch the hearts of the people. 10:16.490 --> 10:23.510 And I pray in the name of Jesus that right now some lifestyles change. 10:24.910 --> 10:34.350 The heart repents, asks forgiveness and turns to go the other direction. 10:36.150 --> 10:41.070 And as a result of that repentance, that mind change and the turn of direction, 10:42.070 --> 10:47.610 there is a work in their life by you Holy Spirit that sanctifies this thing out of them. 10:48.930 --> 10:59.170 It is not okay for us to intentionally, deliberately keep on sinning. 11:00.470 --> 11:02.630 It is not okay. 11:04.250 --> 11:08.510 Lord, like you said, in Hebrews 10, read a little further, 11:09.310 --> 11:14.410 we are literally insulting the grace of God when we do that. 11:16.290 --> 11:27.890 Lord, we know your grace is given to free us, not give us permission to keep doing the old way, the sinful way. 11:28.790 --> 11:33.110 So I'm asking in Jesus' name, by your spirit, 11:35.070 --> 11:40.870 change the hearts of the men and women that you love so dearly 11:40.870 --> 11:45.350 and that you're calling this morning and saying you got to stop this. 11:46.550 --> 11:50.030 This is going to destroy you, you've got to stop this. 11:50.890 --> 11:55.870 Change their hearts, change their motive, change their attitude. 11:59.690 --> 12:04.810 Whoever we may be, in Jesus' name. 12:07.030 --> 12:13.190 Braden, could you re-sing that chorus again and change the word rather than we wait for Him? 12:13.890 --> 12:14.970 He waits for us. 12:15.590 --> 12:18.850 Could you change that wording a bit and re-sing that a couple of times? 12:45.680 --> 12:47.400 He waits for you. 13:09.810 --> 13:11.750 Lord, soften our hearts. 13:12.690 --> 13:13.990 Soften our hearts. 13:17.530 --> 13:19.890 We repent of our stubbornness. 13:20.090 --> 13:21.850 We repent of our stiff neck. 13:23.210 --> 13:25.270 We repent of our hardened hearts. 14:00.110 --> 14:06.650 Thank you, Jesus, for the picture of Revelation 3 where you stand at our hearts door and you knock. 14:07.550 --> 14:09.250 Again, you were talking to the church. 14:09.490 --> 14:12.530 You weren't talking to the unsaved or unbelievers. 14:12.710 --> 14:15.510 You were talking to the church who had lost her way. 14:16.950 --> 14:19.370 You stand at the door and you knock saying, 14:19.910 --> 14:20.390 Let me in. 14:21.070 --> 14:22.790 We can still fix this. 14:22.910 --> 14:25.430 We can still sit down and deal with this. 14:25.970 --> 14:27.070 Let me in. 14:28.070 --> 14:32.510 I pray that over this congregation and anybody watching online, 14:33.090 --> 14:34.310 let Him in. 14:34.550 --> 14:38.010 Let Him in to those deepest, secret places. 14:38.930 --> 14:40.550 He knows they're there anyway. 14:41.350 --> 14:42.170 Open the door. 14:42.850 --> 14:43.650 Let Him in. 14:44.510 --> 14:45.990 Let Him in. 14:46.610 --> 14:47.870 In Jesus' name. 14:50.050 --> 14:51.810 In Jesus' name. 14:55.200 --> 14:56.960 In Jesus' name. 15:22.370 --> 15:23.910 In Jesus' name. 15:26.510 --> 15:28.550 Holy Spirit, just do your work. 15:30.230 --> 15:31.690 Just do your work, I pray. 15:54.540 --> 15:57.620 The Lord says, shame is not of my kingdom. 16:00.560 --> 16:03.560 Shame is not of my kingdom. 16:07.090 --> 16:11.550 Shame is an ungodly, demonic thing. 16:12.690 --> 16:15.890 Do not allow it to hold you back. 16:20.140 --> 16:22.140 Shame is not of me. 16:23.300 --> 16:26.920 I have instituted repentance. 16:28.980 --> 16:33.260 Repentance is celebrated in my kingdom. 16:36.200 --> 16:42.120 Does not my word say that the angels rejoice 16:43.120 --> 16:48.360 at the repentance of one sinner. 16:51.020 --> 16:54.900 Repentance is celebrated in my kingdom. 16:56.220 --> 17:04.160 I do not shame people to try to cause behavior change. 17:05.360 --> 17:07.320 I do not shame people. 17:09.200 --> 17:11.940 I call them to repentance. 17:13.700 --> 17:15.620 And you bring your guilt. 17:16.080 --> 17:17.400 You bring your shame. 17:18.560 --> 17:21.580 You bring the deeds that are not of me. 17:22.480 --> 17:24.540 You bring your broken heart. 17:25.580 --> 17:27.340 You bring your emotions. 17:28.300 --> 17:29.880 You bring all of you. 17:31.240 --> 17:35.500 As the writer penned, I surrender all. 17:36.480 --> 17:42.420 You bring all of you and lay it at the foot of the cross. 17:43.300 --> 17:47.480 And I and everyone in my kingdom 17:51.260 --> 17:55.760 rejoice and the sound of jubilation 17:56.500 --> 18:01.600 and cheering and exaltation 18:02.680 --> 18:07.060 rise like a thunder in my kingdom 18:08.420 --> 18:11.800 when someone on this earth repents. 18:13.620 --> 18:17.480 I call you to repentance, not to shame. 18:19.940 --> 18:22.300 Don't allow your shame 18:23.360 --> 18:26.000 of what has happened and what you're into 18:27.000 --> 18:32.440 to keep you from stepping forward and repenting 18:32.820 --> 18:35.600 because you have nothing to be ashamed 18:37.100 --> 18:42.060 for from the perspective of my kingdom. 18:43.800 --> 18:50.140 What you are doing does not diminish your value. 18:51.640 --> 18:54.440 You mean as much to me today 18:54.440 --> 18:58.680 in the middle of sin as you will mean to me 18:58.680 --> 19:01.340 on the day you stand before me. 19:03.520 --> 19:07.940 What you're doing does not diminish your value to me 19:10.020 --> 19:15.480 but what you're doing will affect your future 19:16.500 --> 19:20.960 because it what comes out of the heart of man 19:20.960 --> 19:22.860 is what defiles him. 19:24.960 --> 19:26.900 Let me get this out of you. 19:27.660 --> 19:29.420 Let me get this out of you. 19:30.640 --> 19:33.800 Do not let shame cause you to stutter step here. 19:42.820 --> 19:44.140 Well, there's Jesus 19:45.320 --> 19:47.720 who is called the master of the church. 19:48.080 --> 19:49.920 I am not the master of the church. 19:50.940 --> 19:54.280 Jesus the definition of the word his name 19:54.280 --> 19:56.240 not the word but his name Lord 19:56.860 --> 19:59.320 the first definition of Lord is master. 20:01.860 --> 20:05.560 So there's the master of the church weighing in on this. 20:07.000 --> 20:09.940 In Jesus name I pray for anybody online 20:11.360 --> 20:14.060 watching live or going to watch this recording. 20:16.900 --> 20:20.240 In Jesus name shame is not part of our kingdom. 20:21.640 --> 20:23.760 We refuse to walk in it. 20:24.260 --> 20:28.120 We refuse to live by it or its dictates. 20:28.900 --> 20:34.780 You will not have rule or reign or sway in our lives. 20:35.840 --> 20:42.020 I command anything going on with anybody watching online. 20:42.460 --> 20:43.880 Now we're the recording. 20:45.860 --> 20:47.660 I take authority over shame. 20:48.300 --> 20:50.840 I bind you in the name of Jesus 20:50.840 --> 20:53.840 and I command you off. 20:54.740 --> 20:57.700 Leave them, leave them 20:57.700 --> 20:59.960 and I call for the glory of God 20:59.960 --> 21:03.500 to come and replace that in their lives. 21:03.640 --> 21:06.960 The love of God to come and replace that 21:06.960 --> 21:09.080 in the name of Jesus. 21:09.760 --> 21:17.240 Leave, leave, leave them right now. 21:17.520 --> 21:20.860 Leave and be gone and never return. 21:20.860 --> 21:24.180 We are not of the kingdom of darkness. 21:24.480 --> 21:26.400 We're of the kingdom of light and we will walk 21:26.400 --> 21:28.880 in the benefits and the privileges of it 21:28.880 --> 21:30.500 and shame is not one of them. 21:30.820 --> 21:32.840 Be gone in Jesus name. 21:40.140 --> 21:41.180 Thank you Lord.
