(00:00):
See God bless you. Welcome tothe hour of deliverance. Me. I'm
Reverend doctor K. E. Holmes, And right now you you you are
a person of excellence. Actually you'renot just right now a person of excelence.
You came here a person of excellence. And that's whether you know it
(00:20):
or not. And I'm almost scaredto tell you that even if you don't
know. Jesus Christ, God createdman in excellence. Now it's Adam that
fell and changed everything for the wholehuman race, but it's Jesus who died
for our sin. And doesn't Scripturedoesn't say sins, s I s sin
(00:41):
this condition of sin. Jesus diedfor that because God soul of the world,
not just the earth, the wholeworld that he gave is only begotten
son. So that the things thatare ordained of God in his son Jesus
Christ, the things that are ordainedin the Lamb. He's the lamb slain
(01:03):
from the foundation of the earth.They're ordained before you got here. And
hopefully you have not only accepted JesusChrist as your savior, but you have
moved in the leadership and what Hehas called you to, called you for
ordained you for, and ordained youtoo, and equipped you for and equipped
(01:26):
you too. And I want tospeak blessing on you, blessing over you,
blessing into you, so that youhear the word of God, and
that the word of God stands upin you now at this time. Why
(01:48):
because we people of excellence, thatactually the entire body of Christ and also
the world, they're not the samething. The world is not the same
thing. God soul of the world, that he sent his son, Okay,
he sent his only begotten son.Get that. However, Jesus saves
(02:15):
those of us who live in thisearth. Part of why he had to
come as a human in the earth, the way humans are born into the
earth. He came as a humanto show us how to live unto God
and according to God's way and God'slaw and God's grace and God's mercy and
(02:44):
God's provision. Only a perfectly sinless, absolutely spotless and sinless human could die
for the sin of another, muchless all other Now, I'd love to
(03:07):
go through that and show you thatin the Word. However, because I
know that I can take way toolong, I'm going to go to the
chapter before one of the courses thatI offer. I offer a course and
actually there's more than one course toit. From Hebrews chapter six where it
(03:31):
says, booh, let's skipt it, where it tells us to I call
it going to perfection, because Iknow many of what I call Churchianity,
many of the Body of Christ,like to say nobody's perfect, and like
(03:53):
to say that, and say thattoo, by the way, from a
scripture, all have sinned and comesshort of the glory of God. Why
Jesus, who is the express imageof God's glory, which is also in
the book of Hebrews that phrase theexpress image of God's glory. That's why
he's the one who had to givehis life. He's the one who could
pay the price for coming short ofthe glory of God. However, in
(04:18):
Hebrews chapter six one, it saystherefore, and I always remind you that
when you see in the scripture thephrase therefore, what is about to be
said, it has to do withit's a follow up to what has been
said, and I share that whenI share the course, I'm going to
show you this, and then I'mgoing to go back and connect the dots.
(04:42):
And actually I won't be going backfar enough to connect the dots.
There's a joke about me that youalways end up in Genesis one. Anyway.
Therefore, so because of what hasjust been said, leaving and the
course is called the Principles of theDoctrine of Christ. One of the courses
(05:06):
leaving the Principles of the Doctrine ofChrist, let us go on to perfection,
not laying again the foundation of AndI'm going to stop there because it
gives six things, and they're inpairs. Now, by the time we
get to this in the Word ofGod, we've learned that God puts things.
(05:29):
He'll put things in pairs because theygo together. They're separate things,
but they're linked together. And sothe particular course that I'm speaking of,
well there's two. One is goon to perfection, and the others leaving
the principles of the Doctrine of Christ. And if you've listened to me before,
you know that I bring to bear. I'm at theologian, and I
(05:56):
can't help being at the elogian.And that was even before I studied to
be a theologian, and so onand so forth. That when you see
Christ, it is speaking of himas Messiah what the scriptures have already given.
Remember how Jesus said, search thescriptures. In them, you think
you have eternal life. And hewas talking to Hebrew leaders at the time.
(06:17):
In them, you think you haveeternal life. It's them that speak
of me. And I like tochallenge all of us evangelicals, and I'm
an evangelical. You can't come withintwo feet of me, and I'm not
going to bring you to Christ.I just will. That's just prime.
(06:39):
However, in the scripture, Messianicscripture, and in the scripture, and
I'm speaking of the New Covenant,when it says Jesus Christ, the emphasis
is on human Messiah, the humanityMessiah, those aspects of him that he's
fully God, pardon me fully manfully God. When you see Christ Jesus,
(07:02):
the emphasis is the other way around. However, this the therefore for
the what we're living in in thesetimes, and I mean people of excellence,
and I'm gonna take the time,I'm gonna look at the time.
I'm gonna take the time to say, again, I don't know if I'll
(07:25):
go to the scriptures. I'll tellyou where they are so that you can
look them up. However, there'speople of excellence. God calls people of
excellence. People of excellence think anddo differently than what we like to call
the average person. Now I cansay right now, God did not make
(07:48):
people average. He made us inhis image. And even right now,
as I say us, if yougo back and here we go, why
the joke is about me that you'realways going to end up back in Genesis
Genesis one, when you go backand look and see that in God made
(08:09):
man in his image. I'm gonnago look it up. Maybe my Blueletterbible
dot org in his image. That'sthe quick way that I look it up.
(08:37):
And it's called Blueletterbible dot org.And they don't pay me to advertise
for them. Anyway. I wantedto look in Genesis one twenty seven and
similar to the therefore, that versestarts out, so God created man,
and that's the word Adam with itsdow hickeys to know that it's human in
(09:03):
his own. And I need toskip the own because it's in italics.
And I always share with you thatif you're looking in King James, the
words that are in italics, they'renot mistranslations. Sometimes it's a good translation.
Some times it's not. But theword in italics is not in the
original language. It's there to causethe English to flow and make sense for
(09:28):
those of us who speak English.And the word own is in italics.
So I'm going to read it withoutan italics. Genesis one twenty seven.
So God created man in his image, in the image of God created he
him male and female created he them. And I'm going back to it because
(09:58):
that was a would I say,whatever verse that was. That chapter starts
out, you know, Genesis one. In the beginning, God created the
heaven and the earth. And Igenerally point out to you that God is
the one who introduced the name Alohem. He's introducing himself and to do it,
(10:20):
he says in the beginning, andthen he says, Elohem, I
generally point out to you that inthe beginning gives you at least five things.
I tend to think that anyway,it gives you five things. Time
order, place, position, purpose, time, order, place, position,
purpose, And I don't want togo through that. I do want
(10:46):
to go through that, but sincewe only have an hour here, I
want to show you male female createdhe them, because, as I said,
in his image, I remembered howand he took from the dust,
and even the whole way of creatinghe did different than he did the sea,
(11:09):
fish of the sea, the fowlof the air, and he did
it differently. Go back and look, if I have time on the broadcast
today, perhaps I'll get to it. Women, how he took from Adam's
rib bone. Why he said,bone of my bone, and flesh of
(11:33):
my flesh. However this made inthe image of God. That came out
to me as I said it,So that there are some differences that are
God ordained and God did and thatwe can miss easily if we make a
(11:54):
lot of doctrine and whatnot. Sofor this that I want to deal with,
I'm going to use the first verse. Oh pardon me, Oh pardon
me. That was a sneeze.I felt it coming and couldn't stop it.
(12:18):
And that is very like and ittickles in my throat. That again,
is very like the times we arein and what we are living through,
whether we're of the excellent or notof the excellent. And that helps
me remind me that people of excellencedo not think like other people. And
(12:48):
in my day and time, there'san expression think outside the box. People
of excellence do and also act outsidethe box and are usually called to things
to bring every body up from wherethey are, not to leave people behind.
And people of excellence normally will dealwith people who are saved and people
(13:09):
who are not saved, people whoknow Jesus Christ as their savior, and
who do not. And if youdo not, oh, I invite you
to know Jesus Christ, born ofa virgin, fully man, the son
of God, sent to the earthby God, the Father, Christ,
(13:30):
the Messiah. Oh, yeah,him, Give your life to him,
make him lord, and actually askhim to be lord of your life,
because you can't make him do athing He's already done before the Father.
He's already done what the Father requiredand what it requires for any of us
(13:56):
and all of us human to besaved from our sin. And even as
I say that I need I wantto go to first I think it's Second
Peter chapter one. You go there. That's because of something that was said.
(14:18):
I'm going to go there Second Peterchapter one. Something that I like
us to know about being human,and it's that we are partakers of His
divine nature. And I'm gonna juststart reading because it takes too much pause
(14:46):
time we're recording. Simon Peter,are a servant and an apostle of Jesus
Christ to them that have obtained thelike precious faith with us through the righteousness
of God and our savior, JesusChrist. You remember what I just shared
(15:09):
with you about when it says JesusChrist, here it says Savior. Okay,
I so want to go into that. However, what I want to
get to is the part that weare partakers of the divine nature. I
want you to read it on yourown. I want you to see it
here as I'm reading it to you, so that I'm not wasting time hunting
(15:30):
for it. I want you tosee and understand that this isn't when we
get to heaven by and buy whatJesus has done for us will stand in
heaven. Yes, However, whatSimon Peter is writing about here and this
is the word of God. Okay, it is about now. So second
(15:54):
verse, grace and peace be multipliedunto you. And then he lets us
know how through the knowledge of Godand of Jesus our Lord. Now watch
that he's Lord. I invited youto ask him to be Lord, so
(16:21):
that you so that the Holy Spiritwill baptize you into the body of Christ.
I invite you that that makes uskin in God. However, he's
talking to those who are already belongto Jesus, who are already We're kin
(16:44):
together. So grace and peace bemultiplied unto you through the knowledge of God
and of Jesus Christ, our Lord. See, we're living in times when
we want grace and peace, andsome are scheming and some are scanning,
and there's no grace in peace tothat. And if there is some,
(17:06):
oh, it's not that which willstand in the earth or in heaven.
However, let me move on accordingSo he gives the parameters. Ohays,
remind me that he Brews the Faithchapter. He Brews eleven, the Faith
Chapter. I think it's verse three. But within the first three verses we
(17:30):
understand through faith. We understand,not through scanning, not through scheming,
and not even through studying. Someonelike me who will study a thing to
the ends of the earth, studya thing till there's nothing more left to
study, except for when you dothat, you find out, yeah,
there is still some more. AndGod will give revelation, Yes, and
(17:52):
he'll give revelation according to his eternalpurpose while he straightens out our thought.
Oh, grace and peace be multipliedunto you through the knowledge of God and
of Jesus Christ, our Lord,according as his divine power hath given unto
(18:19):
us. And notice that's past tensehas already given. Hath given unto us
all things that pertain to life andgodliness through the knowledge of Him that hath
called us to glory and virtue,whereby or giving unto, are given unto
(18:48):
us, exceeding, create beyond great, exceeding great, and precious promises that
by these he might be partakers,take part of the divine nature, having
escaped the corruption that is in theworld through lust. And we're not just
(19:15):
talking. Notice this didn't say thedevil through lust, my flesh, your
flesh, anybody else's flesh. Andif you want to, you can include
the devil because Jesus made an opentriumph over him, not just victory triumph.
That's like that thing I'm saying aboutexcellence. That's a whole other level
(19:38):
of victory triumph and then open triumph. So maybe now you can even see
that I don't have to explain howthe scriptures let us know that David had
his army of excellence. The wholearmy was an army of excellence in a
time and in a place in theworld where armies were trained beyond extremely well
(20:06):
trained and armies of excellence. Theywere in the world at the time.
Not every single nation had an armyof excellence. They all aspired to and
tried to. David had an armyof excellence. And in that there were
groups of thirties. And I alwayslet you know, the scripture says it
this way, that the rest hadnot attained to the thirty weren't looking at
(20:33):
the others and putting them down,because that's not what God ordains in excellence,
while they're higher. And then hetalks about the word, talks about
the groups of threes that the thirtyhad not attained to, and talks about
the groups of twos who were moreexcellent that the threes had not attained to.
(20:56):
And then there were ones that thetwos that had not attained to.
And God puts it that way,not that the others are looking down,
however their level of excellence and expertiseand action. And I'm going to use
the phrase of my time and thinkingout the box and acting being able to
(21:18):
act completely and right away and fruitfully. God just ministered something to my spirit.
I still don't like to give testimonies, and he just reminded me of
something. I gave the testimony ofit yesterday in Pastor's prayer, and he's
(21:42):
letting me know to share it againbecause many of you who are are listening
or will ever listen, you mightalready know it. However you need to
know it even the way that I'msharing of what He shared with me about
(22:03):
crying out and the things that we'regoing through, and to know to know
that in the going through, graceand peace be multiplied to you through the
knowledge of God, not just knowingthat this is happening, and that's happening
(22:23):
and it's God awful. That's myphrase, that it's God awful because terrible
things are happening, and people aregoing through terrible things, and people are
doing terrible things, and unfortunately,not just people outside of the world,
(22:47):
outside of the Body of Christ,are doing terrible things, some inside.
And I'll give you an expression thatI use. Don't give an excuse because
it's ex use. Don't even useit. God is your justifier, Jesus
is your justifier. If you needto be justified, keep your mouth quiet.
(23:12):
That's something I wanted to deal with. You've been talking, and be
silent. Let's have silence. That'sI wanted to deal with that today,
because that particular word where I wantedto deal with about women is when you
have been speaking and you do speak, that word silent is for you when
(23:37):
you have already been anyway, Graceand peace be multiplied unto you through the
knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ, our Lord. According is his divine
power, hath given unto us allthings that pertain unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of Him, thathath called us to glory and virtue,
(24:00):
whereby are given unto us exceeding greatand precious promises, that by these we
might be partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in
the world through lust. And besideall this giving all diligence. Add to
(24:22):
your faith, virtue and to virtue, knowledge and to knowledge, temperance and
to temperance, patience and to patience, Godliness and to godliness, brotherly kindness
and to brotherly kindness, charity.For if these things be in you and
abound they make you that, andI'm going to leave out the eye.
(24:48):
Well, they make you that,Ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in
the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacks these things can
is blind and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten He was purged from
his old sins plural. There Whereforethe rather brethren give diligence to make your
(25:15):
calling and election sure. For ye, if you do these things, ye
shall never fall. Okay. Iwent there because I want us to understand
that going on to perfection, thatcourse that I use, that I use
(25:36):
from Hebrews chapter six, I teachit, and I love it and all
of that. However, this timeI'm going to deal with where we are
in the times we are in,whether you're talking God's time, whether you're
talking Earth time, global time,humanity time, or times, cultural times,
(26:03):
time in all different all the differentways that the Bible, that the
Word of God speaks of time andtimes. Okay, most of us,
Well, I'll put it this way. I like to use the love of
God in Christ Jesus that phrase fromEphesians where it talks about us all coming
(26:26):
into the unity of the faith andtalks about us building up the body and
the aspects of the love of Godin Christ Jesus, and it talks about
and please look up that scripture too, because it talks about the height,
length, height, length, depth, breath. And I might have missed
(26:48):
one because I usually think of itas five. Look it up because the
order matters, and I don't knowthat I just quoted it exactly. However,
I want to bring that out toshow that there's different aspects of the
things that God shows and perfection hasits aspects. And here, well,
(27:12):
that's why I do the course,and I show you the six things that
are in pairs that he's telling youto go on from. However, he
said not laying again the foundation,and just for the things that we understand
on a human level that if you'rebuilding a house, or if you're building,
(27:33):
if you're building a structure, there'sa foundation. And when we think
of foundation, we know that Jesusis a chief cornerstone. We know that
he's a tried stone, the truestone. We all know all that about
him. He is the foundation thatdoesn't stop there. That doesn't mean you
throw out every understanding that you have. When you understand that he's foundation.
(27:53):
The same way that when you knowthat he's Savior, you don't throw out
other understanding about it. He isa son of God. He's not God
Savior. He is God Savior.He is Savior, your savior, my
savior. And when you understand thathe's a son of God, you don't
(28:15):
throw out that he's high priest.When you understand that you're of a royal
priesthood. Ah, when you understand, I want to stop on that and
go theological on you and show yousome things that we throw out that are
shown in the Word. However,what I'm giving us is that when we
(28:36):
learn something in the Word, whenwe know something of the Word, we're
not to throw out the truth thatHe already gave us, the truth that
he already taught us, the thingthat we've already known and understood. And
in what I call churchyanity, wetend to do that when we learn something,
(28:57):
then we throw away all of theother things that we learned. As
if the thing that I'm learning rightnow is the only thing, it might
be the thing to give emphasis to. It might be the thing to give
credence to, It might be thething to pay attention in the time and
(29:22):
like the different aspects of the loveof God, height, length, death,
and breadth. Are you dealing withtime as to circumstance because we're overcomers.
We don't live under the circumstance.Even though that's a phrase in the
world, God, who loved thesoul, loved the world that he gave
us only begotten son, that whosoeverbelieveth on him would not perish. But
(29:47):
oh, come on, have everlastinglife. Yeah. Well, God does
things in the world and brings solutionsto the world, even parts of the
world that do not want to besaved and are not going to be saved.
You can look all through the Bible. But right now I'm thinking of
(30:07):
Daniel. Before he went to thelions Den, he was serving a king,
a king who didn't know that Godis king of all kings. He
didn't understand that Darius the king hemade because of Daniel walking in his excellence.
(30:30):
He didn't complain about things. Hebrewslets us know that complaining is an
evil heart of unbelief? Are youmeaning to have an evil heart when you
complain? I know I'm not,And when I catch myself doing it,
I repent. Why because in oneof the little epistles of John, God
lets us know that when we repent, he cleanses us of all on righteousness,
(30:55):
not just the thing we're repent I'mletting. I'm letting you know,
not just the thing you're repenting of, because things connect. Sin connects,
and repentance connects us to righteousness anddisconnect unrighteousness, including those things that we
(31:19):
might not have known. Okay,now to get to the last verse,
I need to move on because I'malready taken away too long to this thing
that I want to show you.For every high priest taken from among men
is ordained for men in things pertainingto God, and the word pertaining is
(31:44):
not there. Again, the Englishhas it there to make it flow in
the English understanding that He may offerboth gifts and sacrifices for sins. So
this lets you know that we're ina different realm than what we like to
say when we're talking about salvation fromsin. Most of us don't say that.
(32:07):
We say plural, and it sayshere plural. However, when you
look at Jesus the redemption that hedid, it was for sin, that
sin condition of man. I stillwant to go there who can have compassion
on the ignorant and on them thatare out of the way. He has
(32:30):
compassion when you're knowing, when youdon't know him. He has compassion now,
and that he himself also is compassedwith infirmity. And by reason hereof
he ought as for this people,so also for himself to offer for sins.
(32:54):
That's every high priest among men.And no men taketh this out unto
himself, but he that is calledof God as aaron. Now there was
okay, So also Christ glorified himselfnot to be made and high priest,
(33:14):
but he that said, unto him, thou art my son. And today
I have begotten thee. And I'mlooking for the reference where that is to
tell you where to go to lookthat up, because that's quoting another scripture,
(33:35):
so that you don't want to justthrow out the old covenant. Jesus
is fulfilling. He hath also inanother place thou art a priest forever after
the order of Melchizedic. And ifyou look up Melchizedic, that's the very
first communion. I know. Welike to take communion, and we liked
(34:00):
to okay, and me I'm persuadedbecause of something that Jesus said when he
had the communion with the apostles inthe New Covenant. He said, I
won't drink this with you again untilI drink it new in the Kingdom.
(34:21):
I think he was referring to theFirst Communion, because when you look at
it, that's all the stuff thathappened between Abram and Lot and the kings
came against a Lot moved to Sodomand Gamara. The kings came and took
them. Abram heard about it andhad servants already trained, and went and
(34:47):
rescued Lot, not only Lot,but everything that the five kings had taken,
and he brought it to Melchizedek,who's king of Salem. Yes,
for there was Jerusalem, king ofSalem, high priest. And when you
go read that, you'll see thatthat was the first Communion. And he
gave Abram a new revelation of God, and he gave him the Breden wine.
(35:16):
Now, as he also back inHebrews five to six, as he
also in another place, he saith. Also in another place, thou art
a priest forever after the order ofMelchizedek, who in the days of his
(35:37):
flesh, when he had offered upprayers and supplications with strong crying and tears.
Oh my, yeah, the thingsthat were going through. We're offering
up supplications with strong crying and tears. And it would be good if you
knew what that does in the word, and if you knew some things.
(36:00):
Hopefully I'll come back to it,but I'm taking too much time to get
to the last verse that I wantto deal with here, who in the
days of his flesh, when hehad offered up prayers and supplications with strong
crying and tears unto him that wasable to save him from death, and
(36:21):
was heard in that he feared thoughhe were a son, yet learned he
obedience through the things which he suffered, and being made perfect he came.
Pardon me, He became the authorof eternal salvation unto all them that obey
(36:46):
him. See these are the parametersof making him lord. You know,
Jesus said, if you love me, you'll keep my commandments. Okay,
called of God and high priest,after the order of Melchzedek, of whom
(37:07):
we have many things to say andhard to be uttered. Seeing you are
dull of hearing. For when forthe time you ought to be teachers,
you have need that one teach youagain, which be the first principles of
(37:29):
the oracles of God. This iswhy you don't want to throw away your
old Covenant. The first principles ofthe oracles of God. There so that
you even know how to be aroyal priesthood when you read it in the
New Covenant. That's who you are, and who we are, and what
we are of and are becomes suchas have Well, he says, I'm
(37:57):
gonna start the verse over verse twelve, for when for the time you ought
to be teachers, you have needthat one teaches you again, which be
the first principles of the oracles ofGod, and are become such as have
need of milk and not of strongmeat. That's where we're supposed to be.
(38:21):
For everyone that uses milk is unskillfulin the word of righteousness. Notice
he didn't say the word of God. Now the word of God is righteousness.
Notice the difference height, depth,reth Okay, the different aspects.
For everyone that uses milk is unskillfulin the Word of righteousness. For he
(38:45):
is a babe. You're not madat him because he's a babe. Just
like God isn't mad at us becausewe're a babe. He nurtures us,
he teaches us, he builds us, he gives revelation. But strong meat,
and I pray this be you whenI say God bless you. This
is part of the blessing that I'mspeaking to you, speaking over you,
(39:08):
speaking into you. People of excellence. But strong meat, be long if
oh yeah, it's yours. Itbelongs to them that are of full age.
And it's not talking about being anold man or an old woman.
(39:31):
Saw that he's talking about you wentfrom using milk to using meat. You
don't have to be an old manor an old woman. You don't have
to be as old as I amright now to eat meat. I've been
eating meat all my adult life.I've been an adult for decades and can
(39:52):
eat strong meat in the natural.So that I want you to see strong
meat belongeth, and eth means itwas that way, is that way,
and it's going to keep on beingthat way. When you see the eth.
(40:14):
Pardon me, I have a tissueon here, so that on here,
so that I'm not when I dabmy nose, I'm not doing anything.
But strong meat belongeth to them thatare are of full age, even
those in the even is an italics, those who by reason of use see
(40:37):
we reason of use. That's what'shappening now in the times we're living in.
Have their senses exercised too, byreason of use, have their senses
(40:59):
exercise to discern both good and evil. Now, I happen to know because
I study this in the I readusing my Greek a lot and my Hebrew
a lot. And I know thatif you check it online there's more to
There's not as much when you checkonline as there is in the actual text.
(41:22):
And I'm going to see, doesthis Bible here give that what I
want to refer to in verse fourteenfull age? And he tells you where
to go because there's an appendix.I have a Bible names of God.
Exercise means trained discern. That's youunderstand discern, And he doesn't. He
(41:50):
doesn't deal with that. He doesdeal with the evil, but he gives
it. He gives you the wholeexplanation. Actually, I'm gonna turn to
it twenty eight. I don't liketo do this online, but it's one
twenty eight. Okay, that's whyI don't like to do it because I
one twenty eight Roman numeral three.I want to show us that you want
(42:17):
to give God praise. I wantto show us that you hard times tribulation
work. With patience and patience experience, you'll go through stuff. However,
when you keep reading where that is, it tells you that it gives you
hope, and it tells you thathope makes not a shame. We shouldn't.
(42:44):
We don't want to say, don'tpray for hope. I mean,
pardon me, don't pray for patience, because it works tribulation. Tribulation makes
it so that you're you have yoursenses exercised by reason of use. You
have your senses exercise so that youjust said, learn good and evil?
And what did he say? Onetwenty eight Roman numeral three. I see
(43:13):
four things that are lawless, thingsthat are contempt of law. That phrase
that I wish we wouldn't so freelyuse. I don't care, we say,
I don't care about so many things. The phone is ringing, I
(43:34):
don't care. The bottle is halfempty over here, more than half empty.
I don't care. We don't recognizethat thing that I just shared with
you. That's in the Faith chapterHebrews eleven. Through faith, we understand
that the world's were framed by theword of God. And I always let
you know so that the things whichappear were not made of things which do
(43:55):
appear. Now, God showed usin Genesis one how he created. When
he turns things over, and Ialways share this with you. When he
switches, he made heaven and earth. When he switches to earth and heaven,
he's moved us. He's moved intothe realm that he gave us human
(44:15):
Adam, who he made in hisimage. That he gave us control and
authority, and the example that hegave God said, God said, God
said, God said, so thatwe frame our world through saying, saying,
saying, God said, and itwas so, God said, and
(44:35):
it was good, God said,God said, God said, And so
we being made in his image,he gave us authority over the earth,
things under the sun. Actually Ithink it says under the cloud. Anyway,
having our senses exercised, what isgoing on now? Scamming on top
(44:58):
of scamming in unbelievable, unheard ofways. And if you like me and
like to keep things to yourself,huh, huh, it's so awful.
However, any other people are keepingit to theirselves because it doesn't make any
(45:19):
sense and you can't figure it outand you don't know what to do,
and you don't know what to do. And I'm gonna remind you that Psalm
one oh seven. I'm always lettingyou know that he cried. When they
cried out, God delivered them.I let you know that each of those
trial situations, the way we liketo pull out the particular scripture and not
(45:40):
recognize that there are four, ithink five, but different situations in that
Psalm one O seven And each timeit starts out, oh that men would
give praise, give thanks, givethanks, And when you're going through you
forget that be a it's just fornothing, no thing, not the thing
(46:02):
that you recognize it's going on thathas no business going on, not the
thing that you see that is terribleawful, my using my phrase godly ungodly
awful. Yeah, you recognize itreally is like that, and it really
is that bad, bad, badthat it makes you grown, and as
(46:23):
if that's not enough, it makesyou grown even more. And then it
makes you cry and you're like me, I'm no cry baby. Oh I
am not a cry baby. Andyet the trial continues, and it continues,
and it exponentiate. It does,it goes beyond multiplying, and it
(46:46):
builds a multiplying on top of multiplyingon top of multiplying. That's way more
than that's exponentiate. And you knowthe goodness of God, you know the
mercy of God, and you knowthat Ephesians for Scripture, I think at
(47:07):
verse six, be anxious for nothing, no thing, and this is a
thing. And then you start thinking, well, maybe it's another thing.
Be anxious for nothing but with andit might say, but by prayer and
supplication, with thanks giving, makeyour requests known unto God. Doesn't mean
(47:34):
don't pray. He let us knowthings that'll make you anxious. Yeah,
oh yes, pray, Oh yes, supplication, Oh yes, yes,
yes, yes, you pray.And you know that this takes more than
prayer, Yeah, because it takessupplication. And then you supplicating, you're
(47:57):
and you're in the groaning and thetears, and like that's when they cried.
And I'm pretty sure it says criedout. Look it up, because
each place that it says it,it's the end of the circumstance that goes
on too much, too strong,too long for people who are strong,
(48:22):
strong, strong in God. Yeah, you're not a baby and you're not
mistaken. There are trials that arestrong. I mentioned Daniel, you know
(48:45):
that, then going to the lionsden, all the stuff that it took
politically speaking to get there, allthe process to legislate that, to make
that happen, all of the trickery. Yeah, people who were and I'm
(49:14):
going to say this, I'm anAmerican citizen and I'm going to say this
the way we understand government, andthat's not the gut way Darius's government was,
but some things were similar. Peoplein government had position and they had
responsibility, and they could cause differentother legislation to occur. They could bring
(49:39):
things so that the law has tobe followed. And there were those who
couldn't stand the Hebrew way and reallycouldn't stand, Like there's some who can't
stand you and the victory that youwalk in the glory of God that rests
(50:04):
on you, and they don't wantto acknowledge God. So they are upset.
Like Moses in before Pharaoh. Oh, they believed in gods and even
when Pharaoh finally wanted to give honorto God. He put him on top
shelf. Darius did the same.Most of the kings in the Old Testament
(50:29):
didn't have what we evangelicals like tocall a come to Jesus moment. They
put Jesus on the top shelf.They didn't forsake their gods. They just
got to understand, Oh, well, this is the best God. That's
why you see Milchizedek. He recognizedGod. He served the truant living God.
(51:00):
There's only one true and living God. So that when you are having
your senses exercised by reason of use, because you're going through trials and tribulations
that are heavy, and they keepon going on. See we read about
(51:28):
Daniel and the lions den however,recognize just like Annonia asraah Michel, who
most of us like to call ShadrackMishak and a Bendigo because that was their
Babylonian names. How the Babylonians sawthem, How the Babylonians understood they were
(51:53):
who God called them to be.Not laying again the foundation, Hello,
and they going through the furnace.They told, they told the king who
(52:13):
had all authority. Huh, wedon't know whether God will deliver us or
not. Now. They had atestimony and don't want to take the time
to tell you about that because thetestimony that they had is in history,
not in scripture. They said,we're not going to bow down because they
(52:36):
knew you don't bow down to anyoneother than God. He said, don't
bow because even though they had thatShadrack, Mishak and a Bendigo Babylonian names
on them, they didn't believe inthose Babylonian gods. They believed in the
true God, the one God thatmilk. It gave Abram a revelation of
(53:04):
Yeah, and they knew you don'tbow. Don't you let tribulation cause you
to bow and scheme and do thingsthat you know aren't of God, even
things that you're not sure. I'mnot going to have time to turn to
it now, because there's a scripturethat lets you know that for a man
(53:24):
to do a thing that he thinksis sin, it's sin. Yeah,
it might not be called sin inthe word of God. The thing that
you think is sin, However,God calls you accountable to live up to
your conscience. And if your conscienceknows a thing to be sin that God
(53:46):
has not called sin. God letsyou know you do it anyway you sinned
God having made us in his image, we are to live up to our
conscience. Part of why God says, Adam, where are you to bring
(54:06):
you to conscience? And instead?And you'll see this all through scripture,
not just Adam, and even thebeginning and the serpent and that blame.
Adam blamed Eve. He blamed,blame, blame, blame. God doesn't
blame even when he knows we're insin. He wants to bring us to
(54:28):
the acknowledgment that strong meat that weknew. They walked with the voice of
God. They moved in things thatwe have yet to move in. What
Jesus was talking about. Hear myvoice and a stranger, they will not
follow my sheep. Hear my voice, know my voice, is what Jesus
(54:51):
said. Yeah, you might notknow what's going on. The situations and
the scamming you're dealing with, andthe trials that seem to pile up on
top of pile on top of getworse when it's already more than what you
can imagine. Believe God, believehis word, and give thanks and not
(55:15):
thanks because Thanksgiving overcomes, Thanksgiving keepsus in overcoming mode. Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
causes And I forget which psalm.It's all through the psalms, but I'm
(55:37):
thinking of one seventy something in particular. Lets us know that praise, praising
God, Oh, that's not justa religious exercise and Thanksgiving. It causes
the earth to conform to what isGod. We might not even know.
(55:58):
Sometimes we're going through so much tribulationwe forget what we do know. It
doesn't mean we don't know. Itclouds us all the But what shall separate
us from the love of God?Nothing, nothing, not tribulation, not
peril. Tribulation is not enough peril. Yeah, people of excellence are going
(56:24):
through like that, going through likethat, and those leaving the principles of
the doctrine of pardon me, havingyour senses exercise, that's what's happening.
(56:45):
Your muscles, your faith muscles,are being broadened unto perfection, so that
you discern good and evil. God'sway, your way, yr way,
your way,
See God bless you. Welcome tothe hour of deliverance. Me. I'm
Reverend doctor K. E. Holmes, And right now you you you are
a person of excellence. Actually you'renot just right now a person of excelence.
You came here a person of excellence. And that's whether you know it
(00:20):
or not. And I'm almost scaredto tell you that even if you don't
know. Jesus Christ, God createdman in excellence. Now it's Adam that
fell and changed everything for the wholehuman race, but it's Jesus who died
for our sin. And doesn't Scripturedoesn't say sins, s I s sin
(00:41):
this condition of sin. Jesus diedfor that because God soul of the world,
not just the earth, the wholeworld that he gave is only begotten
son. So that the things thatare ordained of God in his son Jesus
Christ, the things that are ordainedin the Lamb. He's the lamb slain
(01:03):
from the foundation of the earth.They're ordained before you got here. And
hopefully you have not only accepted JesusChrist as your savior, but you have
moved in the leadership and what Hehas called you to, called you for
ordained you for, and ordained youtoo, and equipped you for and equipped
(01:26):
you too. And I want tospeak blessing on you, blessing over you,
blessing into you, so that youhear the word of God, and
that the word of God stands upin you now at this time. Why
(01:48):
because we people of excellence, thatactually the entire body of Christ and also
the world, they're not the samething. The world is not the same
thing. God soul of the world, that he sent his son, Okay,
he sent his only begotten son.Get that. However, Jesus saves
(02:15):
those of us who live in thisearth. Part of why he had to
come as a human in the earth, the way humans are born into the
earth. He came as a humanto show us how to live unto God
and according to God's way and God'slaw and God's grace and God's mercy and
(02:44):
God's provision. Only a perfectly sinless, absolutely spotless and sinless human could die
for the sin of another, muchless all other Now, I'd love to
(03:07):
go through that and show you thatin the Word. However, because I
know that I can take way toolong, I'm going to go to the
chapter before one of the courses thatI offer. I offer a course and
actually there's more than one course toit. From Hebrews chapter six where it
(03:31):
says, booh, let's skipt it, where it tells us to I call
it going to perfection, because Iknow many of what I call Churchianity,
many of the Body of Christ,like to say nobody's perfect, and like
(03:53):
to say that, and say thattoo, by the way, from a
scripture, all have sinned and comesshort of the glory of God. Why
Jesus, who is the express imageof God's glory, which is also in
the book of Hebrews that phrase theexpress image of God's glory. That's why
he's the one who had to givehis life. He's the one who could
pay the price for coming short ofthe glory of God. However, in
(04:18):
Hebrews chapter six one, it saystherefore, and I always remind you that
when you see in the scripture thephrase therefore, what is about to be
said, it has to do withit's a follow up to what has been
said, and I share that whenI share the course, I'm going to
show you this, and then I'mgoing to go back and connect the dots.
(04:42):
And actually I won't be going backfar enough to connect the dots.
There's a joke about me that youalways end up in Genesis one. Anyway.
Therefore, so because of what hasjust been said, leaving and the
course is called the Principles of theDoctrine of Christ. One of the courses
(05:06):
leaving the Principles of the Doctrine ofChrist, let us go on to perfection,
not laying again the foundation of AndI'm going to stop there because it
gives six things, and they're inpairs. Now, by the time we
get to this in the Word ofGod, we've learned that God puts things.
(05:29):
He'll put things in pairs because theygo together. They're separate things,
but they're linked together. And sothe particular course that I'm speaking of,
well there's two. One is goon to perfection, and the others leaving
the principles of the Doctrine of Christ. And if you've listened to me before,
you know that I bring to bear. I'm at theologian, and I
(05:56):
can't help being at the elogian.And that was even before I studied to
be a theologian, and so onand so forth. That when you see
Christ, it is speaking of himas Messiah what the scriptures have already given.
Remember how Jesus said, search thescriptures. In them, you think
you have eternal life. And hewas talking to Hebrew leaders at the time.
(06:17):
In them, you think you haveeternal life. It's them that speak
of me. And I like tochallenge all of us evangelicals, and I'm
an evangelical. You can't come withintwo feet of me, and I'm not
going to bring you to Christ.I just will. That's just prime.
(06:39):
However, in the scripture, Messianicscripture, and in the scripture, and
I'm speaking of the New Covenant,when it says Jesus Christ, the emphasis
is on human Messiah, the humanityMessiah, those aspects of him that he's
fully God, pardon me fully manfully God. When you see Christ Jesus,
(07:02):
the emphasis is the other way around. However, this the therefore for
the what we're living in in thesetimes, and I mean people of excellence,
and I'm gonna take the time,I'm gonna look at the time.
I'm gonna take the time to say, again, I don't know if I'll
(07:25):
go to the scriptures. I'll tellyou where they are so that you can
look them up. However, there'speople of excellence. God calls people of
excellence. People of excellence think anddo differently than what we like to call
the average person. Now I cansay right now, God did not make
(07:48):
people average. He made us inhis image. And even right now,
as I say us, if yougo back and here we go, why
the joke is about me that you'realways going to end up back in Genesis
Genesis one, when you go backand look and see that in God made
(08:09):
man in his image. I'm gonnago look it up. Maybe my Blueletterbible
dot org in his image. That'sthe quick way that I look it up.
(08:37):
And it's called Blueletterbible dot org.And they don't pay me to advertise
for them. Anyway. I wantedto look in Genesis one twenty seven and
similar to the therefore, that versestarts out, so God created man,
and that's the word Adam with itsdow hickeys to know that it's human in
(09:03):
his own. And I need toskip the own because it's in italics.
And I always share with you thatif you're looking in King James, the
words that are in italics, they'renot mistranslations. Sometimes it's a good translation.
Some times it's not. But theword in italics is not in the
original language. It's there to causethe English to flow and make sense for
(09:28):
those of us who speak English.And the word own is in italics.
So I'm going to read it withoutan italics. Genesis one twenty seven.
So God created man in his image, in the image of God created he
him male and female created he them. And I'm going back to it because
(09:58):
that was a would I say,whatever verse that was. That chapter starts
out, you know, Genesis one. In the beginning, God created the
heaven and the earth. And Igenerally point out to you that God is
the one who introduced the name Alohem. He's introducing himself and to do it,
(10:20):
he says in the beginning, andthen he says, Elohem, I
generally point out to you that inthe beginning gives you at least five things.
I tend to think that anyway,it gives you five things. Time
order, place, position, purpose, time, order, place, position,
purpose, And I don't want togo through that. I do want
(10:46):
to go through that, but sincewe only have an hour here, I
want to show you male female createdhe them, because, as I said,
in his image, I remembered howand he took from the dust,
and even the whole way of creatinghe did different than he did the sea,
(11:09):
fish of the sea, the fowlof the air, and he did
it differently. Go back and look, if I have time on the broadcast
today, perhaps I'll get to it. Women, how he took from Adam's
rib bone. Why he said,bone of my bone, and flesh of
(11:33):
my flesh. However this made inthe image of God. That came out
to me as I said it,So that there are some differences that are
God ordained and God did and thatwe can miss easily if we make a
(11:54):
lot of doctrine and whatnot. Sofor this that I want to deal with,
I'm going to use the first verse. Oh pardon me, Oh pardon
me. That was a sneeze.I felt it coming and couldn't stop it.
(12:18):
And that is very like and ittickles in my throat. That again,
is very like the times we arein and what we are living through,
whether we're of the excellent or notof the excellent. And that helps
me remind me that people of excellencedo not think like other people. And
(12:48):
in my day and time, there'san expression think outside the box. People
of excellence do and also act outsidethe box and are usually called to things
to bring every body up from wherethey are, not to leave people behind.
And people of excellence normally will dealwith people who are saved and people
(13:09):
who are not saved, people whoknow Jesus Christ as their savior, and
who do not. And if youdo not, oh, I invite you
to know Jesus Christ, born ofa virgin, fully man, the son
of God, sent to the earthby God, the Father, Christ,
(13:30):
the Messiah. Oh, yeah,him, Give your life to him,
make him lord, and actually askhim to be lord of your life,
because you can't make him do athing He's already done before the Father.
He's already done what the Father requiredand what it requires for any of us
(13:56):
and all of us human to besaved from our sin. And even as
I say that I need I wantto go to first I think it's Second
Peter chapter one. You go there. That's because of something that was said.
(14:18):
I'm going to go there Second Peterchapter one. Something that I like
us to know about being human,and it's that we are partakers of His
divine nature. And I'm gonna juststart reading because it takes too much pause
(14:46):
time we're recording. Simon Peter,are a servant and an apostle of Jesus
Christ to them that have obtained thelike precious faith with us through the righteousness
of God and our savior, JesusChrist. You remember what I just shared
(15:09):
with you about when it says JesusChrist, here it says Savior. Okay,
I so want to go into that. However, what I want to
get to is the part that weare partakers of the divine nature. I
want you to read it on yourown. I want you to see it
here as I'm reading it to you, so that I'm not wasting time hunting
(15:30):
for it. I want you tosee and understand that this isn't when we
get to heaven by and buy whatJesus has done for us will stand in
heaven. Yes, However, whatSimon Peter is writing about here and this
is the word of God. Okay, it is about now. So second
(15:54):
verse, grace and peace be multipliedunto you. And then he lets us
know how through the knowledge of Godand of Jesus our Lord. Now watch
that he's Lord. I invited youto ask him to be Lord, so
(16:21):
that you so that the Holy Spiritwill baptize you into the body of Christ.
I invite you that that makes uskin in God. However, he's
talking to those who are already belongto Jesus, who are already We're kin
(16:44):
together. So grace and peace bemultiplied unto you through the knowledge of God
and of Jesus Christ, our Lord. See, we're living in times when
we want grace and peace, andsome are scheming and some are scanning,
and there's no grace in peace tothat. And if there is some,
(17:06):
oh, it's not that which willstand in the earth or in heaven.
However, let me move on accordingSo he gives the parameters. Ohays,
remind me that he Brews the Faithchapter. He Brews eleven, the Faith
Chapter. I think it's verse three. But within the first three verses we
(17:30):
understand through faith. We understand,not through scanning, not through scheming,
and not even through studying. Someonelike me who will study a thing to
the ends of the earth, studya thing till there's nothing more left to
study, except for when you dothat, you find out, yeah,
there is still some more. AndGod will give revelation, Yes, and
(17:52):
he'll give revelation according to his eternalpurpose while he straightens out our thought.
Oh, grace and peace be multipliedunto you through the knowledge of God and
of Jesus Christ, our Lord,according as his divine power hath given unto
(18:19):
us. And notice that's past tensehas already given. Hath given unto us
all things that pertain to life andgodliness through the knowledge of Him that hath
called us to glory and virtue,whereby or giving unto, are given unto
(18:48):
us, exceeding, create beyond great, exceeding great, and precious promises that
by these he might be partakers,take part of the divine nature, having
escaped the corruption that is in theworld through lust. And we're not just
(19:15):
talking. Notice this didn't say thedevil through lust, my flesh, your
flesh, anybody else's flesh. Andif you want to, you can include
the devil because Jesus made an opentriumph over him, not just victory triumph.
That's like that thing I'm saying aboutexcellence. That's a whole other level
(19:38):
of victory triumph and then open triumph. So maybe now you can even see
that I don't have to explain howthe scriptures let us know that David had
his army of excellence. The wholearmy was an army of excellence in a
time and in a place in theworld where armies were trained beyond extremely well
(20:06):
trained and armies of excellence. Theywere in the world at the time.
Not every single nation had an armyof excellence. They all aspired to and
tried to. David had an armyof excellence. And in that there were
groups of thirties. And I alwayslet you know, the scripture says it
this way, that the rest hadnot attained to the thirty weren't looking at
(20:33):
the others and putting them down,because that's not what God ordains in excellence,
while they're higher. And then hetalks about the word, talks about
the groups of threes that the thirtyhad not attained to, and talks about
the groups of twos who were moreexcellent that the threes had not attained to.
(20:56):
And then there were ones that thetwos that had not attained to.
And God puts it that way,not that the others are looking down,
however their level of excellence and expertiseand action. And I'm going to use
the phrase of my time and thinkingout the box and acting being able to
(21:18):
act completely and right away and fruitfully. God just ministered something to my spirit.
I still don't like to give testimonies, and he just reminded me of
something. I gave the testimony ofit yesterday in Pastor's prayer, and he's
(21:42):
letting me know to share it againbecause many of you who are are listening
or will ever listen, you mightalready know it. However you need to
know it even the way that I'msharing of what He shared with me about
(22:03):
crying out and the things that we'regoing through, and to know to know
that in the going through, graceand peace be multiplied to you through the
knowledge of God, not just knowingthat this is happening, and that's happening
(22:23):
and it's God awful. That's myphrase, that it's God awful because terrible
things are happening, and people aregoing through terrible things, and people are
doing terrible things, and unfortunately,not just people outside of the world,
(22:47):
outside of the Body of Christ,are doing terrible things, some inside.
And I'll give you an expression thatI use. Don't give an excuse because
it's ex use. Don't even useit. God is your justifier, Jesus
is your justifier. If you needto be justified, keep your mouth quiet.
(23:12):
That's something I wanted to deal with. You've been talking, and be
silent. Let's have silence. That'sI wanted to deal with that today,
because that particular word where I wantedto deal with about women is when you
have been speaking and you do speak, that word silent is for you when
(23:37):
you have already been anyway, Graceand peace be multiplied unto you through the
knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ, our Lord. According is his divine
power, hath given unto us allthings that pertain unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of Him, thathath called us to glory and virtue,
(24:00):
whereby are given unto us exceeding greatand precious promises, that by these we
might be partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in
the world through lust. And besideall this giving all diligence. Add to

and to brotherly kindness, charity.For if these things be in you and
abound they make you that, andI'm going to leave out the eye.
(24:48):
Well, they make you that,Ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in
the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacks these things can
is blind and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten He was purged from
his old sins plural. There Whereforethe rather brethren give diligence to make your
(25:15):
calling and election sure. For ye, if you do these things, ye
shall never fall. Okay. Iwent there because I want us to understand
that going on to perfection, thatcourse that I use, that I use
(25:36):
from Hebrews chapter six, I teachit, and I love it and all
of that. However, this timeI'm going to deal with where we are
in the times we are in,whether you're talking God's time, whether you're
talking Earth time, global time,humanity time, or times, cultural times,
(26:03):
time in all different all the differentways that the Bible, that the
Word of God speaks of time andtimes. Okay, most of us,
Well, I'll put it this way. I like to use the love of
God in Christ Jesus that phrase fromEphesians where it talks about us all coming
(26:26):
into the unity of the faith andtalks about us building up the body and
the aspects of the love of Godin Christ Jesus, and it talks about
and please look up that scripture too, because it talks about the height,
length, height, length, depth, breath. And I might have missed
(26:48):
one because I usually think of itas five. Look it up because the
order matters, and I don't knowthat I just quoted it exactly. However,
I want to bring that out toshow that there's different aspects of the
things that God shows and perfection hasits aspects. And here, well,
(27:12):
that's why I do the course,and I show you the six things that
are in pairs that he's telling youto go on from. However, he
said not laying again the foundation,and just for the things that we understand
on a human level that if you'rebuilding a house, or if you're building,
(27:33):
if you're building a structure, there'sa foundation. And when we think
of foundation, we know that Jesusis a chief cornerstone. We know that
he's a tried stone, the truestone. We all know all that about
him. He is the foundation thatdoesn't stop there. That doesn't mean you
throw out every understanding that you have. When you understand that he's foundation.
(27:53):
The same way that when you knowthat he's Savior, you don't throw out
other understanding about it. He isa son of God. He's not God
Savior. He is God Savior.He is Savior, your savior, my
savior. And when you understand thathe's a son of God, you don't
(28:15):
throw out that he's high priest.When you understand that you're of a royal
priesthood. Ah, when you understand, I want to stop on that and
go theological on you and show yousome things that we throw out that are
shown in the Word. However,what I'm giving us is that when we
(28:36):
learn something in the Word, whenwe know something of the Word, we're
not to throw out the truth thatHe already gave us, the truth that
he already taught us, the thingthat we've already known and understood. And
in what I call churchyanity, wetend to do that when we learn something,
(28:57):
then we throw away all of theother things that we learned. As
if the thing that I'm learning rightnow is the only thing, it might
be the thing to give emphasis to. It might be the thing to give
credence to, It might be thething to pay attention in the time and
(29:22):
like the different aspects of the loveof God, height, length, death,
and breadth. Are you dealing withtime as to circumstance because we're overcomers.
We don't live under the circumstance.Even though that's a phrase in the
world, God, who loved thesoul, loved the world that he gave
us only begotten son, that whosoeverbelieveth on him would not perish. But
(29:47):
oh, come on, have everlastinglife. Yeah. Well, God does
things in the world and brings solutionsto the world, even parts of the
world that do not want to besaved and are not going to be saved.
You can look all through the Bible. But right now I'm thinking of
(30:07):
Daniel. Before he went to thelions Den, he was serving a king,
a king who didn't know that Godis king of all kings. He
didn't understand that Darius the king hemade because of Daniel walking in his excellence.
(30:30):
He didn't complain about things. Hebrewslets us know that complaining is an
evil heart of unbelief? Are youmeaning to have an evil heart when you
complain? I know I'm not,And when I catch myself doing it,
I repent. Why because in oneof the little epistles of John, God
lets us know that when we repent, he cleanses us of all on righteousness,
(30:55):
not just the thing we're repent I'mletting. I'm letting you know,
not just the thing you're repenting of, because things connect. Sin connects,
and repentance connects us to righteousness anddisconnect unrighteousness, including those things that we
(31:19):
might not have known. Okay,now to get to the last verse,
I need to move on because I'malready taken away too long to this thing
that I want to show you.For every high priest taken from among men
is ordained for men in things pertainingto God, and the word pertaining is
(31:44):
not there. Again, the Englishhas it there to make it flow in
the English understanding that He may offerboth gifts and sacrifices for sins. So
this lets you know that we're ina different realm than what we like to
say when we're talking about salvation fromsin. Most of us don't say that.
(32:07):
We say plural, and it sayshere plural. However, when you
look at Jesus the redemption that hedid, it was for sin, that
sin condition of man. I stillwant to go there who can have compassion
on the ignorant and on them thatare out of the way. He has
(32:30):
compassion when you're knowing, when youdon't know him. He has compassion now,
and that he himself also is compassedwith infirmity. And by reason hereof
he ought as for this people,so also for himself to offer for sins.
(32:54):
That's every high priest among men.And no men taketh this out unto
himself, but he that is calledof God as aaron. Now there was
okay, So also Christ glorified himselfnot to be made and high priest,
(33:14):
but he that said, unto him, thou art my son. And today
I have begotten thee. And I'mlooking for the reference where that is to
tell you where to go to lookthat up, because that's quoting another scripture,
(33:35):
so that you don't want to justthrow out the old covenant. Jesus
is fulfilling. He hath also inanother place thou art a priest forever after
the order of Melchizedic. And ifyou look up Melchizedic, that's the very
first communion. I know. Welike to take communion, and we liked
(34:00):
to okay, and me I'm persuadedbecause of something that Jesus said when he
had the communion with the apostles inthe New Covenant. He said, I
won't drink this with you again untilI drink it new in the Kingdom.
(34:21):
I think he was referring to theFirst Communion, because when you look at
it, that's all the stuff thathappened between Abram and Lot and the kings
came against a Lot moved to Sodomand Gamara. The kings came and took
them. Abram heard about it andhad servants already trained, and went and
(34:47):
rescued Lot, not only Lot,but everything that the five kings had taken,
and he brought it to Melchizedek,who's king of Salem. Yes,
for there was Jerusalem, king ofSalem, high priest. And when you
go read that, you'll see thatthat was the first Communion. And he
gave Abram a new revelation of God, and he gave him the Breden wine.
(35:16):
Now, as he also back inHebrews five to six, as he
also in another place, he saith. Also in another place, thou art
a priest forever after the order ofMelchizedek, who in the days of his
(35:37):
flesh, when he had offered upprayers and supplications with strong crying and tears.
Oh my, yeah, the thingsthat were going through. We're offering
up supplications with strong crying and tears. And it would be good if you
knew what that does in the word, and if you knew some things.
(36:00):
Hopefully I'll come back to it,but I'm taking too much time to get
to the last verse that I wantto deal with here, who in the
days of his flesh, when hehad offered up prayers and supplications with strong
crying and tears unto him that wasable to save him from death, and
(36:21):
was heard in that he feared thoughhe were a son, yet learned he
obedience through the things which he suffered, and being made perfect he came.
Pardon me, He became the authorof eternal salvation unto all them that obey
(36:46):
him. See these are the parametersof making him lord. You know,
Jesus said, if you love me, you'll keep my commandments. Okay,
called of God and high priest,after the order of Melchzedek, of whom
(37:07):
we have many things to say andhard to be uttered. Seeing you are
dull of hearing. For when forthe time you ought to be teachers,
you have need that one teach youagain, which be the first principles of
(37:29):
the oracles of God. This iswhy you don't want to throw away your
old Covenant. The first principles ofthe oracles of God. There so that
you even know how to be aroyal priesthood when you read it in the
New Covenant. That's who you are, and who we are, and what
we are of and are becomes suchas have Well, he says, I'm
(37:57):
gonna start the verse over verse twelve, for when for the time you ought
to be teachers, you have needthat one teaches you again, which be
the first principles of the oracles ofGod, and are become such as have
need of milk and not of strongmeat. That's where we're supposed to be.
(38:21):
For everyone that uses milk is unskillfulin the word of righteousness. Notice
he didn't say the word of God. Now the word of God is righteousness.
Notice the difference height, depth,reth Okay, the different aspects.
For everyone that uses milk is unskillfulin the Word of righteousness. For he
(38:45):
is a babe. You're not madat him because he's a babe. Just
like God isn't mad at us becausewe're a babe. He nurtures us,
he teaches us, he builds us, he gives revelation. But strong meat,
and I pray this be you whenI say God bless you. This
is part of the blessing that I'mspeaking to you, speaking over you,
(39:08):
speaking into you. People of excellence. But strong meat, be long if
oh yeah, it's yours. Itbelongs to them that are of full age.
And it's not talking about being anold man or an old woman.
(39:31):
Saw that he's talking about you wentfrom using milk to using meat. You
don't have to be an old manor an old woman. You don't have
to be as old as I amright now to eat meat. I've been
eating meat all my adult life.I've been an adult for decades and can
(39:52):
eat strong meat in the natural.So that I want you to see strong
meat belongeth, and eth means itwas that way, is that way,
and it's going to keep on beingthat way. When you see the eth.
(40:14):
Pardon me, I have a tissueon here, so that on here,
so that I'm not when I dabmy nose, I'm not doing anything.
But strong meat belongeth to them thatare are of full age, even
those in the even is an italics, those who by reason of use see
(40:37):
we reason of use. That's what'shappening now in the times we're living in.
Have their senses exercised too, byreason of use, have their senses
(40:59):
exercise to discern both good and evil. Now, I happen to know because
I study this in the I readusing my Greek a lot and my Hebrew
a lot. And I know thatif you check it online there's more to
There's not as much when you checkonline as there is in the actual text.
(41:22):
And I'm going to see, doesthis Bible here give that what I
want to refer to in verse fourteenfull age? And he tells you where
to go because there's an appendix.I have a Bible names of God.
Exercise means trained discern. That's youunderstand discern, And he doesn't. He
(41:50):
doesn't deal with that. He doesdeal with the evil, but he gives
it. He gives you the wholeexplanation. Actually, I'm gonna turn to
it twenty eight. I don't liketo do this online, but it's one
twenty eight. Okay, that's whyI don't like to do it because I
one twenty eight Roman numeral three.I want to show us that you want
(42:17):
to give God praise. I wantto show us that you hard times tribulation
work. With patience and patience experience, you'll go through stuff. However,
when you keep reading where that is, it tells you that it gives you
hope, and it tells you thathope makes not a shame. We shouldn't.
(42:44):
We don't want to say, don'tpray for hope. I mean,
pardon me, don't pray for patience, because it works tribulation. Tribulation makes
it so that you're you have yoursenses exercised by reason of use. You
have your senses exercise so that youjust said, learn good and evil?
And what did he say? Onetwenty eight Roman numeral three. I see
(43:13):
four things that are lawless, thingsthat are contempt of law. That phrase
that I wish we wouldn't so freelyuse. I don't care, we say,
I don't care about so many things. The phone is ringing, I
(43:34):
don't care. The bottle is halfempty over here, more than half empty.
I don't care. We don't recognizethat thing that I just shared with
you. That's in the Faith chapterHebrews eleven. Through faith, we understand
that the world's were framed by theword of God. And I always let
you know so that the things whichappear were not made of things which do
(43:55):
appear. Now, God showed usin Genesis one how he created. When
he turns things over, and Ialways share this with you. When he
switches, he made heaven and earth. When he switches to earth and heaven,
he's moved us. He's moved intothe realm that he gave us human
(44:15):
Adam, who he made in hisimage. That he gave us control and
authority, and the example that hegave God said, God said, God
said, God said, so thatwe frame our world through saying, saying,
saying, God said, and itwas so, God said, and
(44:35):
it was good, God said,God said, God said, And so
we being made in his image,he gave us authority over the earth,
things under the sun. Actually Ithink it says under the cloud. Anyway,
having our senses exercised, what isgoing on now? Scamming on top
(44:58):
of scamming in unbelievable, unheard ofways. And if you like me and
like to keep things to yourself,huh, huh, it's so awful.
However, any other people are keepingit to theirselves because it doesn't make any
(45:19):
sense and you can't figure it outand you don't know what to do,
and you don't know what to do. And I'm gonna remind you that Psalm
one oh seven. I'm always lettingyou know that he cried. When they
cried out, God delivered them.I let you know that each of those
trial situations, the way we liketo pull out the particular scripture and not
(45:40):
recognize that there are four, ithink five, but different situations in that
Psalm one O seven And each timeit starts out, oh that men would
give praise, give thanks, givethanks, And when you're going through you
forget that be a it's just fornothing, no thing, not the thing
(46:02):
that you recognize it's going on thathas no business going on, not the
thing that you see that is terribleawful, my using my phrase godly ungodly
awful. Yeah, you recognize itreally is like that, and it really
is that bad, bad, badthat it makes you grown, and as
(46:23):
if that's not enough, it makesyou grown even more. And then it
makes you cry and you're like me, I'm no cry baby. Oh I
am not a cry baby. Andyet the trial continues, and it continues,
and it exponentiate. It does,it goes beyond multiplying, and it
(46:46):
builds a multiplying on top of multiplyingon top of multiplying. That's way more
than that's exponentiate. And you knowthe goodness of God, you know the
mercy of God, and you knowthat Ephesians for Scripture, I think at
(47:07):
verse six, be anxious for nothing, no thing, and this is a
thing. And then you start thinking, well, maybe it's another thing.
Be anxious for nothing but with andit might say, but by prayer and
supplication, with thanks giving, makeyour requests known unto God. Doesn't mean
(47:34):
don't pray. He let us knowthings that'll make you anxious. Yeah,
oh yes, pray, Oh yes, supplication, Oh yes, yes,
yes, yes, you pray.And you know that this takes more than
prayer, Yeah, because it takessupplication. And then you supplicating, you're
(47:57):
and you're in the groaning and thetears, and like that's when they cried.
And I'm pretty sure it says criedout. Look it up, because
each place that it says it,it's the end of the circumstance that goes
on too much, too strong,too long for people who are strong,
(48:22):
strong, strong in God. Yeah, you're not a baby and you're not
mistaken. There are trials that arestrong. I mentioned Daniel, you know
(48:45):
that, then going to the lionsden, all the stuff that it took
politically speaking to get there, allthe process to legislate that, to make
that happen, all of the trickery. Yeah, people who were and I'm
(49:14):
going to say this, I'm anAmerican citizen and I'm going to say this
the way we understand government, andthat's not the gut way Darius's government was,
but some things were similar. Peoplein government had position and they had
responsibility, and they could cause differentother legislation to occur. They could bring
(49:39):
things so that the law has tobe followed. And there were those who
couldn't stand the Hebrew way and reallycouldn't stand, Like there's some who can't
stand you and the victory that youwalk in the glory of God that rests
(50:04):
on you, and they don't wantto acknowledge God. So they are upset.
Like Moses in before Pharaoh. Oh, they believed in gods and even
when Pharaoh finally wanted to give honorto God. He put him on top
shelf. Darius did the same.Most of the kings in the Old Testament
(50:29):
didn't have what we evangelicals like tocall a come to Jesus moment. They
put Jesus on the top shelf.They didn't forsake their gods. They just
got to understand, Oh, well, this is the best God. That's
why you see Milchizedek. He recognizedGod. He served the truant living God.
(51:00):
There's only one true and living God. So that when you are having
your senses exercised by reason of use, because you're going through trials and tribulations
that are heavy, and they keepon going on. See we read about
(51:28):
Daniel and the lions den however,recognize just like Annonia asraah Michel, who
most of us like to call ShadrackMishak and a Bendigo because that was their
Babylonian names. How the Babylonians sawthem, How the Babylonians understood they were
(51:53):
who God called them to be.Not laying again the foundation, Hello,
and they going through the furnace.They told, they told the king who
(52:13):
had all authority. Huh, wedon't know whether God will deliver us or
not. Now. They had atestimony and don't want to take the time
to tell you about that because thetestimony that they had is in history,
not in scripture. They said,we're not going to bow down because they
(52:36):
knew you don't bow down to anyoneother than God. He said, don't
bow because even though they had thatShadrack, Mishak and a Bendigo Babylonian names
on them, they didn't believe inthose Babylonian gods. They believed in the
true God, the one God thatmilk. It gave Abram a revelation of
(53:04):
Yeah, and they knew you don'tbow. Don't you let tribulation cause you
to bow and scheme and do thingsthat you know aren't of God, even
things that you're not sure. I'mnot going to have time to turn to
it now, because there's a scripturethat lets you know that for a man
(53:24):
to do a thing that he thinksis sin, it's sin. Yeah,
it might not be called sin inthe word of God. The thing that
you think is sin, However,God calls you accountable to live up to
your conscience. And if your conscienceknows a thing to be sin that God
(53:46):
has not called sin. God letsyou know you do it anyway you sinned
God having made us in his image, we are to live up to our
conscience. Part of why God says, Adam, where are you to bring
(54:06):
you to conscience? And instead?And you'll see this all through scripture,
not just Adam, and even thebeginning and the serpent and that blame.
Adam blamed Eve. He blamed,blame, blame, blame. God doesn't
blame even when he knows we're insin. He wants to bring us to
(54:28):
the acknowledgment that strong meat that weknew. They walked with the voice of
God. They moved in things thatwe have yet to move in. What
Jesus was talking about. Hear myvoice and a stranger, they will not
follow my sheep. Hear my voice, know my voice, is what Jesus
(54:51):
said. Yeah, you might notknow what's going on. The situations and
the scamming you're dealing with, andthe trials that seem to pile up on
top of pile on top of getworse when it's already more than what you
can imagine. Believe God, believehis word, and give thanks and not
(55:15):
thanks because Thanksgiving overcomes, Thanksgiving keepsus in overcoming mode. Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
causes And I forget which psalm.It's all through the psalms, but I'm
(55:37):
thinking of one seventy something in particular. Lets us know that praise, praising
God, Oh, that's not justa religious exercise and Thanksgiving. It causes
the earth to conform to what isGod. We might not even know.
(55:58):
Sometimes we're going through so much tribulationwe forget what we do know. It
doesn't mean we don't know. Itclouds us all the But what shall separate
us from the love of God?Nothing, nothing, not tribulation, not
peril. Tribulation is not enough peril. Yeah, people of excellence are going
(56:24):
through like that, going through likethat, and those leaving the principles of
the doctrine of pardon me, havingyour senses exercise, that's what's happening.
(56:45):
Your muscles, your faith muscles,are being broadened unto perfection, so that
you discern good and evil. God'sway, your way, yr way,
your way,
