Speaker 1 (00:13):
Great is the Lord, and he is greatly to be praised.
We welcome you once again to this another edition of
End Time Revival Ministries USA podcast. I am your host,
Pastor al Zachary, and today we are as always grateful
to the Lord for the multitude of his mercies. We
(00:38):
are not worthy of the least of his mercies. But
thank God he is good. Thank God he is love.
Thank God he had compassion on us. Thank God that
he saved us and delivered us from so great a death,
and he doth deliver.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So again we are here by the grace of God,
because God God has a man appointed us for such
a time as this, and we are eternally grateful Amen
to the Lord for a man saving us and setting
us free from the power and bondage of sin.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
All right, So we are in a series all about Jesus,
all about Jesus, and this is what we're going to
focus on today in our session. This is the day, Amen.
This is the day of Jesus.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Amen. This is the day of God's.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Grace, truth, hope, peace, light, salvation and redemption.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
This is the day. Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
But before we begin, we just want to take a
moment of course as always. First of all, First of all,
I'm sorry, let me say this. We thank God again
for all of you who pray for and support the
work of this ministry.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Please, by all means.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Those of you who can, those of you are willing,
please become a subscriber a man. And also, by all means,
please share it with someone else.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Our goal.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Our aim is to disseminate the truth of God without compromise,
to speak the truth of God and love a man,
and to let men and women know everywhere, as far
and as wide as the Lord will allow a man,
our voice to be heard, let them know that Jesus
(02:41):
Christ is the Savior.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Jesus Christ is soon to return.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Jesus Christ is the only way truth and life. Life
is in him, a man, life is by him through him.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
In him, we live, move and have our being. Without him.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Apart from him, we can do nothing. So we are
here to preach Jesus Christ and him crucified. We are
here to a man proclaim the word of the Living God,
as Paul admonished his son in the Gospel Timothy, preach
the word be instant in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke,
exhort with all long suffering and doctrine for the time
(03:23):
will come. That was prophetic when Paul spoke these words,
wrote these words, the time will come, and the time
is here now when people do not want to endure
here listen to a man certainly not obey sound doctrine. Nevertheless,
(03:46):
the call of God, the mission, the position of the elder,
of the bishop, of the minister, who is called of
God is to hear the word from his mouth and
(04:08):
give warning from him. God has spoken clearly, succinctly. He
has preserved his word for us. He's given us full revelation.
Everything we need, everything we need to know, we have it.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Amen. And so it is.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Simply up to us to hear what God has spoken, Amen,
and to apply it to our lives in obedience, and
therein we will be blessed.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Amen. All right, look chapter number four.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
If you have your bibles, and let's take a moment
to amen, go to the Lord and pray again. Father,
We thank you, we love you, we praise you, we
bless you. We pray now for open eyes, ears, unstopped hearts.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Change. Lord, that your kingdom, your name, your church, your people.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Amen, Amen, will be lifted up in a world that
is without hope, when it is a world that is
without you. And so we want your name to be magnified,
your kingdom to be magnified, your glory to be revealed
in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Lord, be that light that only.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Says, that only delivers, that only sets the captive free.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray that your
word would go forth with power and anointing.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Amen and Amen, all.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
About Jesus, All about Jesus.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And again, our focus today is this is the day.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
This is the day of grace, This is the day
of truth, This is the day of hope, This is
the day of peace, light, salvation, and redemption. Luke Chapter
before Jesus at the very outset of his earthly ministry,
early on, he was only three and a half years.
By the way, what a powerful and effective short ministry.
(06:20):
Three and a half years of ministry. But it was powerful,
it was effectual, it is enduring even now.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
The gospels give us a snapshot of some of the
things that Jesus said, some of the things that Jesus did.
But this period of ministry was only three and a
half years, by the way, as John wrote in his Gospel,
it is not possible that the world would be able
to contain the books that could be written of all
(06:55):
that Jesus said and did in just that short period
of time. And so during the early part of Jesus' ministry,
Luke chapter number four records for us how that Jesus
was going about a man in his ministry, healing and delivering,
and set in the captive free verse fourteen would pick
(07:16):
it up there of Luke chapter four, Jesus return in.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
The power of the spirit.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Take note of that, in the power of the Spirit,
into Galilee, and his fame went out through all the
region round about, and he talked in their synagogues, being
glorified by all. And he came to Nazareth, where he
(07:45):
had been brought up, speaking of his childhood. And as
his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the
Sabbath day and stood up to read. So then here
we got we have it here now again. So many
(08:07):
things that Jesus did. There were only a few snapshot
instances in the gospels where we see Jesus in the
synagogue on the Sabbath day a man. And some of
the things that transpired there for example, the healing of
a couple of people that happened a man at the
(08:27):
synagogue on the Sabbath days. But the Bible tells us
here that this was a custom of Jesus a man
to go into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. But
on this particular day, the Bible says, he went to
the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up
(08:50):
to read, and there was delivered unto him the.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Book of the Prophet Isaiah.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And by the way, if you not familiar with this,
what I'm about to read, Jesus is going to be
reading from Isaiah chapter sixty one. Is we have now
the chapter divisions. Isaiah chapter sixty one is where we
find these words that Jesus is about to read. So
there was delivered unto him the book of the Prophet Isaiah.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
When he had.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Opened the book, he found the place where it was written.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Verse eighteen.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he
hath appointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to
(09:52):
the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
to preach the Acceptable Year.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Of the Lord.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And he closed the book, and he gave it again
to the minister and sat down, and the eyes of
all those who were in the synagogue were fastened on him,
and he began to say unto them, this day.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Is this scripture fulfilled in your ears? Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
The prophet Isaiah, hundreds of years centuries before the incarnation
of Jesus coming into the world, prophesied of one who
would come, as described in the prophecy concerning this person.
The spirit of the Lord is upon me, annoying to
(11:02):
preach the gospel to the poor, sent to heal the
broken hearted, to deliverance to those who are in captivity,
the recovery of sight to the blind, liberty for those
who have been bruised, preaching the Acceptable Year of the Lord.
Jesus says to those who were in attendance, and certainly
(11:24):
to us as well, this day, this is the day
that this scripture is fulfilled in your ears. In other words,
what Jesus is saying, I am he, I am the
(11:47):
anointed one, i am the Messiah. I'm the one that
you've been waiting for. I'm the one that you've been
looking for. I'm the one that you've been praying for.
I'm the one that you been longing for. But take
note that Jesus here fill with the spirit, anointed to preach,
(12:13):
appointed to the poor. He's the healer of those who
are broken. He's the deliverer of those who are captives.
He's the restorer of those who have no eyesight. He's
deliberator of those who are in prison. Jesus, in other words,
(12:37):
is saying to the people per the prophecy, that he
is the fulfillment of I am he, and this is
the day for you to have deliverance, healing, restoration, and liberation.
(12:57):
First of all, spirit of the Living God. And by
the way, without the spirit, oh see, life comes to
us in the beginning. In the beginning the spirit of God,
the Bible says, moved upon the face of the waters.
God is Spirit, and by his spirit all things exist.
(13:18):
And again apart from him, without him nothing, Without the
Spirit of Living God, there is no life, there is
no hope, there can be no change.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And so this is why Jesus came.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
He came, the Bible says, in the power of the
Holy Spirit, and the power of the Holy Ghost to
bring about change in the lives of all men who
are living in darkness and hopelessness and in despair. And
the command that Jesus gave by the way to his
apostles after his resurrection and before his ascension back up
(13:56):
into Heaven, was for them to go to Jerusalem and
wait for the promise of the Holy Spirit. Why because
without the power of the Spirit, no matter that they
had spent three and a half years with Jesus, no
matter that they had witnessed all of the miracles, signs
and wonders, and even Peter, James and John, who were
(14:18):
what we call of the Inner Circle, they witnessed things
that some of the others did not. For example, the
transfiguration on the Mount a man. They saw a man
with Jesus and Moses and Elijah, a man seeing things
and hearing things, and being in the midst of Jesus,
and even being empowered by Jesus to go out. Not
(14:39):
only them, but he had seventy that he sent out
as well, with the power of the Holy Spirit, to
go and to heal and to preach the Gospel of
the Kingdom. Nevertheless, they were not yet filled with the
holy ghosts. And so in order a man to a
(14:59):
man and go out and preach the gospel, preach the
good news a man and be an effective minister witness
of Jesus, the power that he has, the power that
he possesses, and the reason and the purpose for his coming,
in other words, a bearer of the good News.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
The only way that we can be.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Effective with that is to be empowered with the spirit
of the Living God. And that's who Jesus was by example.
He was filled with the spirit, and he commanded his apostles,
and the command stands for the Church of Jesus Christ
to this very day. Because with that it's not by power,
(15:46):
it's not by might, it's by the Spirit of the
Living God.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
They could not go into all the world preaching Jesus
preaching the Gospel without being in power by the holy
spirit of life that emanates from God alone. Wait, Jesus says,
for the promise of the Father, Wait and you will
(16:12):
be endued with power from on high.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Again.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Jesus is our example, and he was filled with the spirit.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
He was filled with the power and the anointing, and
the Bible tells us he was anointed to preach.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
The gospel to the poor. That's what he said.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I came to I'm the fulfillment of the anointed one
who is to preach the good news, to proclaim good news.
That's what the gospel is. The gospel is good news.
He was appointed by the way. Also, Jesus said this
very specifically to the poor. And what did Jesus say
(16:52):
about the poor, specifically about those who are poor in spirit?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Blessed of the poor in spirit.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Blessed are those who are hungering and thirsting after the
righteousness that is of God.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Amen, For they.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Shall be felled, they shall be satisfied. They shall be
no longer thirsty, no longer hungry, no longer longing for
a man looking for because the power of the Holy Spirit,
the feeling that comes. And by the way, Jesus said,
I am the bread, I am the water.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I will be in you a well of water springing
up to.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Ever lasting life.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
And you've got to eat of that bread and drink
from that well that never runs dry. Remember the conversation
Jesus had with the woman at the well. Gospel of
John chapter five, I believe it is chapter four.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Amen. This woman, Amen, didn't know didn't know who Jesus was. Amen.
And jesusaid, if you knew.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
A woman, if only you knew the gift of God,
if only you knew and understood who it was that
you were having a conversation.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
With, you would ask of him. You would ask of me,
and I would give you living water. Amen.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
So Jesus came a man to preach to the poor,
those who are hunger, those who are hungering and thirsting
after the righteousness, because Jesus has just what we need.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Amen. And he will fill us and we will be satisfied. Amen.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And the anointing and appointing a man to preach the
gospel of the Kingdom again can only be from God
who calls. Amen, those who are to minister the word
of the Living God, and those whom he called by
(18:56):
the way he equips with power, with the perseverance that
it takes to endure persecution. Amen, to stand in the
face of adversity, to endure hardship.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
This is what Paul said to Timothy.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
That you are to endure hardness as a good soldier
of Jesus Christ. Because no man who wars, no man
who engages in warfare, entangles himself with the affairs of
this life.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Amen, So whom and by.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
The way, all you have to do is look at
the prophets of old and the apostles themselves.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
These were ordinary people who were equipped by God, called
by God. Now remember remember, never get this, by the way,
never forget this. The apostles, for example, in a New Testament,
we know about the prophets of old, how many of many,
if not all of them, most of them, a great
(20:02):
majority of them were severely persecuted, and a great great
number of them were martyred a man for.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Speaking the word and preaching the word.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
And almost all of the apostles died of martyrdom as well.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Amen, and and and and and listen. You cannot stand.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Up to the persecution, the scrutiny, the criticism a man,
the trials, and the tribulation, and the suffering a man
without the power of without the comforting.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Now again, let me give you an example of this,
the prime example of this.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Remember, prior to.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
The apostles receiving the guilt of the Holy ghosts, they
were cowardly, they were afraid, they had run and hidden themselves.
After the death of Jesus. They thought it was over.
But what was the difference between Matthew twenty eight, the
(21:18):
end of the Gospel of John, the end of the
Gospel of Louke, the end of the Gospel of Mark,
and Acts chapter two. The difference, ladies and gentlemen was
number one, they saw the risen Savior, and number two,
they received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which empowered them.
(21:40):
It anointing them Jesus, anointing them Jesus appointed. See, you
can have the appointment if you don't, if you can
have the cart See. A lot of people think they're
called and believe they're called. But where is the power.
The power is in the Holy Spirit. Is of the
Holy Spirit. You have to be led by the Spirit
(22:00):
of God. And how can you be led by the
Spirit of God.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
If you don't have the Spirit of God, if he's
not in you.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
As many as are led by the Spirit of God.
These are the Bible says. Sons of God.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Got a lot of preachers preaching without the spirit, without
the power, without the Holy Ghost, and they believe, some
of them evidently.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Believe that they have been called to do it.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I'm perplexed in my mind how they can read the Bible,
read the Word of God, which clearly commands that we
be filled with the spirit.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And yet.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
You can call yourself a preacher of the Gospel, Amen,
without the Holy Spirit of God. All right, no man,
by the way, is to take this calling upon himself
(23:10):
without being anointed and appointed a man for this service.
And this again, anointing, an appointment comes only from above.
And remember again, Jesus is our high priest and example,
our forerunner, the one who went before us.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
And we walk and follow in his footsteps. And he
was filled with the Holy Spirit and power. And also
again he also took on baptism, as he told John.
The Baptists suffer it to be so, for it fulfills
(23:52):
all righteousness. Then, of course, Jesus said he was sent
to heal. Now, of course, many of us associate the
healing ministry of Jesus almost exclusively with the miracles of
healing that he performed during the limited time. Again, of
his earthly ministry was only during a period of about
(24:14):
three and a half years.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Now, if we.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Relegate Jesus as the healer primarily or exclusively to the
physical body of man, which by the way is still perishing, which,
by the way, is appointed.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
To go back to the dust. Then we are missing.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
The most potent purpose of the healing that every man is.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
In dire need.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Of the healing that we all need is brokenness. Brokenness
is what we are. Brokenness is who we are. We
are broken people. We are broken vessels, vessels, we are falling.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Sin caused brokenness in our hearts and minds and souls.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
We have broken fellowship with God. We are extrained from God.
We run from God, we hide, we attempt to hide
rather from God. And then of course we have broken,
horribly broken fellowships and relationships with one another. And this
(25:42):
is what Jesus came to heal. He came to heal
the brokenness. Remember there were several occasions again reach your
gospels when Jesus healed people of different sicknesses or disease,
or infirmities or whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
What did he say, go and what sin? Know more?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Because sin is the causation of many of the maladies
that we have. The brokenness that's in us, especially again,
the spiritual brokenness is sin. We have a sin problem,
and only Jesus can heal that. So he came to
heal the broken heart.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That's all of us.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Then Jesus of course came with a mission of deliverance
for those who were in captivity. There were then and
is to this day. Those who do not know, those
who do not believe, or those who do not understand,
(26:53):
they are in captivity as servants of sin, and again
are in dire need of the deliverance that only comes
from Jesus. As Jesus himself said, if you don't believe
that I am he, You're gonna die in your sins.
(27:15):
I am the way. I'm your way out. I'm the truth.
Truth is what sets you free.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I am the life in me.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
You will live and have life, and you will have
it more abundantly. This aspect of the ministry of Jesus healing, healing, healing,
it's critical to our ability, by the way, to even
continue to have life in this world. I am thoroughly convinced,
(27:49):
beyond any reasonable doubt in my mind at all.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
If Jesus.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Is not by his spirit, not by his a coming,
not by his presence, not by his gospel that he
has left, not by his word, If Jesus is none
existent for us in this world today, if Jesus had
not come. In other words, I honestly cannot see how
(28:26):
we would survive as a human race. I honestly cannot
see how we could have survived even with the Church
being here and by the way, and the Holy Spirit, which,
by the way, is the restraint. And this is why
I know this, because the Bible speaks of the Holy
Spirit being the restraining force.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
What is it restraining? What is he? Rather restraining? He?
The Holy Spirit is not a part of it. It
is a he. So I retract, my I misspoke when
I said it. He the Holy Spirit is the restraining
force that keeps back the.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Oh, my God, we don't we have no idea of
how wicked and how evil, and how nefarious, and how
deadly and how destructive the powers of the darkness, ladies
(29:37):
and gentlemen, that will be, by the way, when the
Holy Spirit is removed, when he is taken up, when
the Church is taken up out of this world, there
will be mayhem.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
I am convinced.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
This is why Jesus is, I mean, the light, the
life a man, the lifeblood, And again is in me.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
You live and move and have your existence, Even those
who are in the darkness yet who are without the
hope of this great salvation.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
And I pray that there.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Will be many, many millions and more that will come
to know this light and this.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Hope that is in Jesus.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
But even those who are presently outside of the ark
of safety, they also are living and breathing and moving
and operating, all because of Jesus, all because of the
spirit of the Living God.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Amen. And this is what Jesus came to do.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
He came to deliver us, Amen, from this that we
are not even aware of.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
He came to heal this brokenness. He came with this
mission of deliverance of those who are in captivity, even
though they don't know it, some even though they don't
believe it.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Some even that need for those who do not understand.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
It, your need of deliverance from captivity, because you are
a servant of sin, Amen, and you need Jesus, and
he's the only one.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Who can deliver you.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
And so this aspect of the ministry of Jesus is
critical to our ability to continue to even have life.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
In this world.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Bondage breeds hopelessness and depression and despairing of life. So
why we have so many suicidal people today because what
they've lost hope. Jesus said, I've come that you might
have life, not only have life, but have it more abundantly.
(32:19):
He came to deliver us from this sentence of death
that sin has brought on us. And when we are
delivered from the bondage of sin and death, our eyes
are then open. Jesus said, I came to give sight
to the blind.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Our eyes are open. What eyes are natural eyes?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
No no, no, no, no, not the natural eyes, amen, but
the glory of the light of the Gospel, the glory
of God shining in our hearts. There were a few
select blind men who had received their sight through the
miracle of healing that Jesus performed while he was here.
But no, no, no, no, Jesus is not talking about deliverance
(33:04):
or sight to the blind in the natural perspective or
from the natural perspective. But great blindness is what Jesus,
and spiritual blindness, by the way, that is yet remaining
on the eyes of the masses of people who are
yet again to understand that Jesus came to open blinded eyes.
(33:28):
And I pray that all the time Lord opened blinded
eyes Jesus said, except a man be born again. Nicodemus,
he had this conversation with John chapter three.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
He cannot see.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
You can't see, You can't see the Kingdom of God
until you are born again, delivered from the bondage of sin.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
That is the instant.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Moment when your eyes are open and you begin to
see life and the world and everything from a whole
new perspective, because the scales.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Have fallen from your eyes.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
And finally, of course, Jesus came to open the doors
of the prison to liberate captives who had been bruised,
bruised in part by the tormenting burden.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Of sin and guilt.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Now did Jesus come to liberate innocent victims who were
just bystanders, who were just like I mean, prisoners of war.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
No, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Jesus, heymen, didn't I come to liberate righteous, innocent people.
He came to liberate the guilty, the guilty debt tour
who could not, by any meanings, bail himself or herself
out of the impossible, out of the insurmountable sind debt.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
That they owed.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Jesus came to preach listen again.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
The gospel to the poor.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
He came to heal the broken hearted. He came to
preach deliverance to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind,
to set it liberty them that are bruise, to preach
the acceptable year of the Lord.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
And he closed the book. He gave it back to
the minister, and he.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Said to them, this day is this scripture fulfilled in
your ears. Ladies and gentlemen. What Jesus is saying is
this is the day. This is the day of grace.
(36:14):
The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ, Truth to set you free.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
This is the day of hope. This is the day
of peace.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Now we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom we have received the atonement. This is the
day of light. Jesus said, I'm the light of the world.
And if you're in Jesus, you have the light of life.
You won't be groping any longer in the darkness. This
is the day of salvation. For unto us a child
(36:52):
is born, unto us a son is given, the government
shall be up on his shoulders.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
He came as the Savior.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
He is the Savior, born, the King, born to save.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
She shall bring forth a son.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall say
his people from their sins.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
This is the day.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
This is what Jesus I came to fulfill all that
was written of me.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
And this is the day. This day is your.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Day of salvation, of redemption, of reconciliation.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
This is the day for you.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
If you have not already come to Jesus in brokenness
and contrition and repentance, this is today for you to
hear the call of the voice of the Lord speaking
to you, to hear the knocking of Jesus at the
door of your heart, because he's come to.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Set the captive free. He's come to remove the scales.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
From your eyes and the shackles of bundage that have
you bound up in sin.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
This is the day Father helps someone. Today.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Lord, let your word, let your word, let your power,
Let your spirit please penetrate somewhere someone They come to
know and see and hear believe that you are the Christ,
the Son of the Living God, the Savior of all
them that believe. Be glorified, be magnified, and Jesus name,
we bring your thanks Amen, and amen.
Great is the Lord, and he is greatly to be praised.
We welcome you once again to this another edition of
End Time Revival Ministries USA podcast. I am your host,
Pastor al Zachary, and today we are as always grateful
to the Lord for the multitude of his mercies. We
(00:38):
are not worthy of the least of his mercies. But
thank God he is good. Thank God he is love.
Thank God he had compassion on us. Thank God that
he saved us and delivered us from so great a death,
and he doth deliver.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So again we are here by the grace of God,
because God God has a man appointed us for such
a time as this, and we are eternally grateful Amen
to the Lord for a man saving us and setting
us free from the power and bondage of sin.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
All right, So we are in a series all about Jesus,
all about Jesus, and this is what we're going to
focus on today in our session. This is the day, Amen.
This is the day of Jesus.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Amen. This is the day of God's.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Grace, truth, hope, peace, light, salvation and redemption.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
This is the day. Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
But before we begin, we just want to take a
moment of course as always. First of all, First of all,
I'm sorry, let me say this. We thank God again
for all of you who pray for and support the
work of this ministry.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Please, by all means.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Those of you who can, those of you are willing,
please become a subscriber a man. And also, by all means,
please share it with someone else.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Our goal.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Our aim is to disseminate the truth of God without compromise,
to speak the truth of God and love a man,
and to let men and women know everywhere, as far
and as wide as the Lord will allow a man,
our voice to be heard, let them know that Jesus
(02:41):
Christ is the Savior.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Jesus Christ is soon to return.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Jesus Christ is the only way truth and life. Life
is in him, a man, life is by him through him.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
In him, we live, move and have our being. Without him.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Apart from him, we can do nothing. So we are
here to preach Jesus Christ and him crucified. We are
here to a man proclaim the word of the Living God,
as Paul admonished his son in the Gospel Timothy, preach
the word be instant in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke,
exhort with all long suffering and doctrine for the time
(03:23):
will come. That was prophetic when Paul spoke these words,
wrote these words, the time will come, and the time
is here now when people do not want to endure
here listen to a man certainly not obey sound doctrine. Nevertheless,
(03:46):
the call of God, the mission, the position of the elder,
of the bishop, of the minister, who is called of
God is to hear the word from his mouth and
(04:08):
give warning from him. God has spoken clearly, succinctly. He
has preserved his word for us. He's given us full revelation.
Everything we need, everything we need to know, we have it.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Amen. And so it is.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Simply up to us to hear what God has spoken, Amen,
and to apply it to our lives in obedience, and
therein we will be blessed.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Amen. All right, look chapter number four.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
If you have your bibles, and let's take a moment
to amen, go to the Lord and pray again. Father,
We thank you, we love you, we praise you, we
bless you. We pray now for open eyes, ears, unstopped hearts.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Change. Lord, that your kingdom, your name, your church, your people.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Amen, Amen, will be lifted up in a world that
is without hope, when it is a world that is
without you. And so we want your name to be magnified,
your kingdom to be magnified, your glory to be revealed
in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Lord, be that light that only.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Says, that only delivers, that only sets the captive free.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray that your
word would go forth with power and anointing.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Amen and Amen, all.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
About Jesus, All about Jesus.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And again, our focus today is this is the day.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
This is the day of grace, This is the day
of truth, This is the day of hope, This is
the day of peace, light, salvation, and redemption. Luke Chapter
before Jesus at the very outset of his earthly ministry,
early on, he was only three and a half years.
By the way, what a powerful and effective short ministry.
(06:20):
Three and a half years of ministry. But it was powerful,
it was effectual, it is enduring even now.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
The gospels give us a snapshot of some of the
things that Jesus said, some of the things that Jesus did.
But this period of ministry was only three and a
half years, by the way, as John wrote in his Gospel,
it is not possible that the world would be able
to contain the books that could be written of all
(06:55):
that Jesus said and did in just that short period
of time. And so during the early part of Jesus' ministry,
Luke chapter number four records for us how that Jesus
was going about a man in his ministry, healing and delivering,
and set in the captive free verse fourteen would pick
(07:16):
it up there of Luke chapter four, Jesus return in.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
The power of the spirit.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Take note of that, in the power of the Spirit,
into Galilee, and his fame went out through all the
region round about, and he talked in their synagogues, being
glorified by all. And he came to Nazareth, where he
(07:45):
had been brought up, speaking of his childhood. And as
his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the
Sabbath day and stood up to read. So then here
we got we have it here now again. So many
(08:07):
things that Jesus did. There were only a few snapshot
instances in the gospels where we see Jesus in the
synagogue on the Sabbath day a man. And some of
the things that transpired there for example, the healing of
a couple of people that happened a man at the
(08:27):
synagogue on the Sabbath days. But the Bible tells us
here that this was a custom of Jesus a man
to go into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. But
on this particular day, the Bible says, he went to
the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up
(08:50):
to read, and there was delivered unto him the.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Book of the Prophet Isaiah.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And by the way, if you not familiar with this,
what I'm about to read, Jesus is going to be
reading from Isaiah chapter sixty one. Is we have now
the chapter divisions. Isaiah chapter sixty one is where we
find these words that Jesus is about to read. So
there was delivered unto him the book of the Prophet Isaiah.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
When he had.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Opened the book, he found the place where it was written.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Verse eighteen.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he
hath appointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to
(09:52):
the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
to preach the Acceptable Year.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Of the Lord.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And he closed the book, and he gave it again
to the minister and sat down, and the eyes of
all those who were in the synagogue were fastened on him,
and he began to say unto them, this day.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Is this scripture fulfilled in your ears? Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
The prophet Isaiah, hundreds of years centuries before the incarnation
of Jesus coming into the world, prophesied of one who
would come, as described in the prophecy concerning this person.
The spirit of the Lord is upon me, annoying to
(11:02):
preach the gospel to the poor, sent to heal the
broken hearted, to deliverance to those who are in captivity,
the recovery of sight to the blind, liberty for those
who have been bruised, preaching the Acceptable Year of the Lord.
Jesus says to those who were in attendance, and certainly
(11:24):
to us as well, this day, this is the day
that this scripture is fulfilled in your ears. In other words,
what Jesus is saying, I am he, I am the
(11:47):
anointed one, i am the Messiah. I'm the one that
you've been waiting for. I'm the one that you've been
looking for. I'm the one that you've been praying for.
I'm the one that you been longing for. But take
note that Jesus here fill with the spirit, anointed to preach,
(12:13):
appointed to the poor. He's the healer of those who
are broken. He's the deliverer of those who are captives.
He's the restorer of those who have no eyesight. He's
deliberator of those who are in prison. Jesus, in other words,
(12:37):
is saying to the people per the prophecy, that he
is the fulfillment of I am he, and this is
the day for you to have deliverance, healing, restoration, and liberation.
(12:57):
First of all, spirit of the Living God. And by
the way, without the spirit, oh see, life comes to
us in the beginning. In the beginning the spirit of God,
the Bible says, moved upon the face of the waters.
God is Spirit, and by his spirit all things exist.
(13:18):
And again apart from him, without him nothing, Without the
Spirit of Living God, there is no life, there is
no hope, there can be no change.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And so this is why Jesus came.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
He came, the Bible says, in the power of the
Holy Spirit, and the power of the Holy Ghost to
bring about change in the lives of all men who
are living in darkness and hopelessness and in despair. And
the command that Jesus gave by the way to his
apostles after his resurrection and before his ascension back up
(13:56):
into Heaven, was for them to go to Jerusalem and
wait for the promise of the Holy Spirit. Why because
without the power of the Spirit, no matter that they
had spent three and a half years with Jesus, no
matter that they had witnessed all of the miracles, signs
and wonders, and even Peter, James and John, who were
(14:18):
what we call of the Inner Circle, they witnessed things
that some of the others did not. For example, the
transfiguration on the Mount a man. They saw a man
with Jesus and Moses and Elijah, a man seeing things
and hearing things, and being in the midst of Jesus,
and even being empowered by Jesus to go out. Not
(14:39):
only them, but he had seventy that he sent out
as well, with the power of the Holy Spirit, to
go and to heal and to preach the Gospel of
the Kingdom. Nevertheless, they were not yet filled with the
holy ghosts. And so in order a man to a
(14:59):
man and go out and preach the gospel, preach the
good news a man and be an effective minister witness
of Jesus, the power that he has, the power that
he possesses, and the reason and the purpose for his coming,
in other words, a bearer of the good News.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
The only way that we can be.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Effective with that is to be empowered with the spirit
of the Living God. And that's who Jesus was by example.
He was filled with the spirit, and he commanded his apostles,
and the command stands for the Church of Jesus Christ
to this very day. Because with that it's not by power,
(15:46):
it's not by might, it's by the Spirit of the
Living God.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
They could not go into all the world preaching Jesus
preaching the Gospel without being in power by the holy
spirit of life that emanates from God alone. Wait, Jesus says,
for the promise of the Father, Wait and you will
(16:12):
be endued with power from on high.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Again.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Jesus is our example, and he was filled with the spirit.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
He was filled with the power and the anointing, and
the Bible tells us he was anointed to preach.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
The gospel to the poor. That's what he said.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I came to I'm the fulfillment of the anointed one
who is to preach the good news, to proclaim good news.
That's what the gospel is. The gospel is good news.
He was appointed by the way. Also, Jesus said this
very specifically to the poor. And what did Jesus say
(16:52):
about the poor, specifically about those who are poor in spirit?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Blessed of the poor in spirit.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Blessed are those who are hungering and thirsting after the
righteousness that is of God.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Amen, For they.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Shall be felled, they shall be satisfied. They shall be
no longer thirsty, no longer hungry, no longer longing for
a man looking for because the power of the Holy Spirit,
the feeling that comes. And by the way, Jesus said,
I am the bread, I am the water.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I will be in you a well of water springing
up to.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Ever lasting life.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
And you've got to eat of that bread and drink
from that well that never runs dry. Remember the conversation
Jesus had with the woman at the well. Gospel of
John chapter five, I believe it is chapter four.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Amen. This woman, Amen, didn't know didn't know who Jesus was. Amen.
And jesusaid, if you knew.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
A woman, if only you knew the gift of God,
if only you knew and understood who it was that
you were having a conversation.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
With, you would ask of him. You would ask of me,
and I would give you living water. Amen.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
So Jesus came a man to preach to the poor,
those who are hunger, those who are hungering and thirsting
after the righteousness, because Jesus has just what we need.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Amen. And he will fill us and we will be satisfied. Amen.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And the anointing and appointing a man to preach the
gospel of the Kingdom again can only be from God
who calls. Amen, those who are to minister the word
of the Living God, and those whom he called by
(18:56):
the way he equips with power, with the perseverance that
it takes to endure persecution. Amen, to stand in the
face of adversity, to endure hardship.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
This is what Paul said to Timothy.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
That you are to endure hardness as a good soldier
of Jesus Christ. Because no man who wars, no man
who engages in warfare, entangles himself with the affairs of
this life.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Amen, So whom and by.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
The way, all you have to do is look at
the prophets of old and the apostles themselves.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
These were ordinary people who were equipped by God, called
by God. Now remember remember, never get this, by the way,
never forget this. The apostles, for example, in a New Testament,
we know about the prophets of old, how many of many,
if not all of them, most of them, a great
(20:02):
majority of them were severely persecuted, and a great great
number of them were martyred a man for.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Speaking the word and preaching the word.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
And almost all of the apostles died of martyrdom as well.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Amen, and and and and and listen. You cannot stand.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Up to the persecution, the scrutiny, the criticism a man,
the trials, and the tribulation, and the suffering a man
without the power of without the comforting.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Of the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Now again, let me give you an example of this,
the prime example of this.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Remember, prior to.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
The apostles receiving the guilt of the Holy ghosts, they
were cowardly, they were afraid, they had run and hidden themselves.
After the death of Jesus. They thought it was over.
But what was the difference between Matthew twenty eight, the
(21:18):
end of the Gospel of John, the end of the
Gospel of Louke, the end of the Gospel of Mark,
and Acts chapter two. The difference, ladies and gentlemen was
number one, they saw the risen Savior, and number two,
they received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which empowered them.
(21:40):
It anointing them Jesus, anointing them Jesus appointed. See, you
can have the appointment if you don't, if you can
have the cart See. A lot of people think they're
called and believe they're called. But where is the power.
The power is in the Holy Spirit. Is of the
Holy Spirit. You have to be led by the Spirit
(22:00):
of God. And how can you be led by the
Spirit of God.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
If you don't have the Spirit of God, if he's
not in you.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
As many as are led by the Spirit of God.
These are the Bible says. Sons of God.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Got a lot of preachers preaching without the spirit, without
the power, without the Holy Ghost, and they believe, some
of them evidently.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Believe that they have been called to do it.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I'm perplexed in my mind how they can read the Bible,
read the Word of God, which clearly commands that we
be filled with the spirit.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And yet.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
You can call yourself a preacher of the Gospel, Amen,
without the Holy Spirit of God. All right, no man,
by the way, is to take this calling upon himself
(23:10):
without being anointed and appointed a man for this service.
And this again, anointing, an appointment comes only from above.
And remember again, Jesus is our high priest and example,
our forerunner, the one who went before us.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
And we walk and follow in his footsteps. And he
was filled with the Holy Spirit and power. And also
again he also took on baptism, as he told John.
The Baptists suffer it to be so, for it fulfills
(23:52):
all righteousness. Then, of course, Jesus said he was sent
to heal. Now, of course, many of us associate the
healing ministry of Jesus almost exclusively with the miracles of
healing that he performed during the limited time. Again, of
his earthly ministry was only during a period of about
(24:14):
three and a half years.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Now, if we.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Relegate Jesus as the healer primarily or exclusively to the
physical body of man, which by the way is still perishing, which,
by the way, is appointed.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
To go back to the dust. Then we are missing.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
The most potent purpose of the healing that every man is.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
In dire need.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Of the healing that we all need is brokenness. Brokenness
is what we are. Brokenness is who we are. We
are broken people. We are broken vessels, vessels, we are falling.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Sin caused brokenness in our hearts and minds and souls.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
We have broken fellowship with God. We are extrained from God.
We run from God, we hide, we attempt to hide
rather from God. And then of course we have broken,
horribly broken fellowships and relationships with one another. And this
(25:42):
is what Jesus came to heal. He came to heal
the brokenness. Remember there were several occasions again reach your
gospels when Jesus healed people of different sicknesses or disease,
or infirmities or whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
What did he say, go and what sin? Know more?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Because sin is the causation of many of the maladies
that we have. The brokenness that's in us, especially again,
the spiritual brokenness is sin. We have a sin problem,
and only Jesus can heal that. So he came to
heal the broken heart.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That's all of us.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Then Jesus of course came with a mission of deliverance
for those who were in captivity. There were then and
is to this day. Those who do not know, those
who do not believe, or those who do not understand,
(26:53):
they are in captivity as servants of sin, and again
are in dire need of the deliverance that only comes
from Jesus. As Jesus himself said, if you don't believe
that I am he, You're gonna die in your sins.
(27:15):
I am the way. I'm your way out. I'm the truth.
Truth is what sets you free.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I am the life in me.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
You will live and have life, and you will have
it more abundantly. This aspect of the ministry of Jesus healing, healing, healing,
it's critical to our ability, by the way, to even
continue to have life in this world. I am thoroughly convinced,
(27:49):
beyond any reasonable doubt in my mind at all.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
If Jesus.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Is not by his spirit, not by his a coming,
not by his presence, not by his gospel that he
has left, not by his word, If Jesus is none
existent for us in this world today, if Jesus had
not come. In other words, I honestly cannot see how
(28:26):
we would survive as a human race. I honestly cannot
see how we could have survived even with the Church
being here and by the way, and the Holy Spirit, which,
by the way, is the restraint. And this is why
I know this, because the Bible speaks of the Holy
Spirit being the restraining force.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
What is it restraining? What is he? Rather restraining? He?
The Holy Spirit is not a part of it. It
is a he. So I retract, my I misspoke when
I said it. He the Holy Spirit is the restraining
force that keeps back the.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Oh, my God, we don't we have no idea of
how wicked and how evil, and how nefarious, and how
deadly and how destructive the powers of the darkness, ladies
(29:37):
and gentlemen, that will be, by the way, when the
Holy Spirit is removed, when he is taken up, when
the Church is taken up out of this world, there
will be mayhem.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
I am convinced.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
This is why Jesus is, I mean, the light, the
life a man, the lifeblood, And again is in me.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
You live and move and have your existence, Even those
who are in the darkness yet who are without the
hope of this great salvation.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
And I pray that there.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Will be many, many millions and more that will come
to know this light and this.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Hope that is in Jesus.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
But even those who are presently outside of the ark
of safety, they also are living and breathing and moving
and operating, all because of Jesus, all because of the
spirit of the Living God.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Amen. And this is what Jesus came to do.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
He came to deliver us, Amen, from this that we
are not even aware of.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
He came to heal this brokenness. He came with this
mission of deliverance of those who are in captivity, even
though they don't know it, some even though they don't
believe it.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Some even that need for those who do not understand.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
It, your need of deliverance from captivity, because you are
a servant of sin, Amen, and you need Jesus, and
he's the only one.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Who can deliver you.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
And so this aspect of the ministry of Jesus is
critical to our ability to continue to even have life.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
In this world.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Bondage breeds hopelessness and depression and despairing of life. So
why we have so many suicidal people today because what
they've lost hope. Jesus said, I've come that you might
have life, not only have life, but have it more abundantly.
(32:19):
He came to deliver us from this sentence of death
that sin has brought on us. And when we are
delivered from the bondage of sin and death, our eyes
are then open. Jesus said, I came to give sight
to the blind.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Our eyes are open. What eyes are natural eyes?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
No no, no, no, no, not the natural eyes, amen, but
the glory of the light of the Gospel, the glory
of God shining in our hearts. There were a few
select blind men who had received their sight through the
miracle of healing that Jesus performed while he was here.
But no, no, no, no, Jesus is not talking about deliverance
(33:04):
or sight to the blind in the natural perspective or
from the natural perspective. But great blindness is what Jesus,
and spiritual blindness, by the way, that is yet remaining
on the eyes of the masses of people who are
yet again to understand that Jesus came to open blinded eyes.
(33:28):
And I pray that all the time Lord opened blinded
eyes Jesus said, except a man be born again. Nicodemus,
he had this conversation with John chapter three.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
He cannot see.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
You can't see, You can't see the Kingdom of God
until you are born again, delivered from the bondage of sin.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
That is the instant.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Moment when your eyes are open and you begin to
see life and the world and everything from a whole
new perspective, because the scales.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Have fallen from your eyes.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
And finally, of course, Jesus came to open the doors
of the prison to liberate captives who had been bruised,
bruised in part by the tormenting burden.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Of sin and guilt.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Now did Jesus come to liberate innocent victims who were
just bystanders, who were just like I mean, prisoners of war.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
No, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Jesus, heymen, didn't I come to liberate righteous, innocent people.
He came to liberate the guilty, the guilty debt tour
who could not, by any meanings, bail himself or herself
out of the impossible, out of the insurmountable sind debt.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
That they owed.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Jesus came to preach listen again.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
The gospel to the poor.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
He came to heal the broken hearted. He came to
preach deliverance to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind,
to set it liberty them that are bruise, to preach
the acceptable year of the Lord.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
And he closed the book. He gave it back to
the minister, and he.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Said to them, this day is this scripture fulfilled in
your ears. Ladies and gentlemen. What Jesus is saying is
this is the day. This is the day of grace.
(36:14):
The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ, Truth to set you free.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
This is the day of hope. This is the day
of peace.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Now we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom we have received the atonement. This is the
day of light. Jesus said, I'm the light of the world.
And if you're in Jesus, you have the light of life.
You won't be groping any longer in the darkness. This
is the day of salvation. For unto us a child
(36:52):
is born, unto us a son is given, the government
shall be up on his shoulders.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
He came as the Savior.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
He is the Savior, born, the King, born to save.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
She shall bring forth a son.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall say
his people from their sins.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
This is the day.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
This is what Jesus I came to fulfill all that
was written of me.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
And this is the day. This day is your.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Day of salvation, of redemption, of reconciliation.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
This is the day for you.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
If you have not already come to Jesus in brokenness
and contrition and repentance, this is today for you to
hear the call of the voice of the Lord speaking
to you, to hear the knocking of Jesus at the
door of your heart, because he's come to.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Set the captive free. He's come to remove the scales.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
From your eyes and the shackles of bundage that have
you bound up in sin.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
This is the day Father helps someone. Today.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Lord, let your word, let your word, let your power,
Let your spirit please penetrate somewhere someone They come to
know and see and hear believe that you are the Christ,
the Son of the Living God, the Savior of all
them that believe. Be glorified, be magnified, and Jesus name,
we bring your thanks Amen, and amen.
