early Church and he was murtyred and a participant in

of that. So that's kind of a good like prelude

the Apostle paul and his. Teachings After jesus ascended into,
heaven there was a believer Named, stephen and he was
part of the Early, church and he was. Martyred in,
fact typically we talk about him being the first martyr

(08:28):
of The New. Testament and there was a participant in
the politicized religious system that was In israel Named, saul
who was part of. It so going To acts six,' Eight,
and stephen full of grace, and power was performing great
wonders and signs among The people acts. Six' ten but

(08:54):
they meaning people in people who were, listening to him
who ended, up murdering, him murdering him but they were
unable to cope with his wisdom and the spirit by whom.
He was speaking Then going, to act seven verses fifty.
Five through, sixty but he being Full Of, the holy

(09:19):
spirit looking, intently into heaven saw The glory Of god
and jesus standing at the Right. Hand of god, and,
HE said behold i see, the heavens Opened and The
son of man standing at the Right. Hand of god
but they shouted with loud voices and covered their ears
and rushed at him. With one mind that's. An interesting

(09:43):
phrase when they had driven him out, of the city they,
began stoning him and the witnesses laid aside their cloaks
at the feet of a Young. Man named saul they
Went on stoning stephen as he Called on the, Lord,
And said lord esus. Received my spirit then he fell
on his knees and cried out with, A, loud voice

(10:05):
lord do not hold this. And against them, having said
this he Fell asleep like jesus. With the centurion stephen
Requesting of the lord forgiveness paved The way for saul
to Come into The. Kingdom of god so Let's go to,

(10:26):
acts chapter eight verses. One Through three now saul Approved
of putting, stephen to death and on that day a
great persecution Began against The, church in jerusalem and they
were all scattered throughout The regions Of, judea and samaria except.
For the apostles some Develot men buried stephen and mourned.

(10:50):
Loudly For him but saul began, ravaging the church entering,
house after house and he would drag away men and
women and put. Them into, prison acts. Seven excuse me
acts nine verses one. Through Thirty, one now saul still
breathing threats and murder against the Disciples, of the lord

(11:14):
went to the high priest and asked for letters from
him to The, synagogues in damascus so that if he
found any Belonging, to the way whether, men or women
he might bring them In. Shackles, to jerusalem now as,
he was traveling it happened that He, was approaching damascus

(11:35):
and suddenly alight from heaven, flashed around him and he
fell to the ground and heard a voice, Saying, To,
him saul saul why are? You persecuting me, and he said? Who?
Are you lord, AND he Said i am jesus whom.
You are persecuting but get up and, enter the city
and it will be told to you what. You must

(11:56):
do the men who traveled with, him stood speechless, hearing
the voice but. Seeing no one saul got up, from
the ground and though his, eyes were open he, Could
see nothing and leading him, by the hand they Brought.
Him into damascus and for three days he was without
sight and neither ate. Nor drank oof but probably good

(12:20):
for him. At that, point right now there was A
disciple In, damascus named Anonius and the lord said to him, In,
a vision anonius, and HE said Here. I am Lord
and the lord, said to him get up and go
to The street called straight and inquire at The house
of judas for A man From. Tarsus named saul for

(12:41):
he is praying and he is seen in a vision A.
Man named anonius come in and lay his, hands on
him so that he might. Regain His sight, But, ANNANIAS
said lord i have heard from many people, about this
man how much harm he did to Your. Saints in
jerusalem and here he has authority from the chief priests

(13:02):
to arrest all who call. On your Name but the lord, said,
to him go for he is a chosen instrument of
mind to bear my name, before the gentiles in kings
and The. Sons OF israel for i will show him
how much he must suffer in behalf. Of My name
so anonius departed and, entered the house and after laying his, hands,

(13:25):
on Him, said Brother Saul, the lord jesus who appeared
to you on the road by which, you were coming
has sent me to so that you may regain your
sight and be Filled With. The, holy spirit okay let me,
read That. Again Brother Saul, the lord jesus who appeared
to you on the road by which, you were coming
has sent me so that you may regain your sight

(13:47):
and be filled with. A holy spirit and immediately something
like fish scales fell, from his eyes and he, regained
his sight and he got up, and was baptized and
he took food. And was strengthened now for several days
he was with the disciples Who, were in damascus and
immediately he Began to proclaim jesus, in the synagogues saying

(14:09):
He is The. Son of god and all hearing him
continued to be amazed, and were saying is this not
the One who in jerusalem destroyed those who called, on
this name and had come here for the purpose of
bringing them bound before. The Chief priests but saul kept

(14:30):
increasing in strength And confounding the jews Who lived in
damascus By proving this Jesus. Is the christ when many,
days Had elapsed the jews plotted together to do. Away
with him but their plot Became. Known to saul does
that remind you? Of woke anyone anybody think? That? This anyway.

(14:54):
Okay keep going they were also closely watching the gates.
Day and night they might put, Him to death but
his disciples took him at night and let him down
through an opening, in the wall lowering him in. A
large basket when He, came to jerusalem he tried repeatedly
to associate, with the disciples and yet they were all,

(15:15):
afraid of him and they did not believe that he.
Was A disciple but barnabas took hold of him and
brought him to the apostles and described to them how
he Had seen the lord, on the road and that
he had, talked to him and how he had spoken
out boldly in The name Of. Jesus at damascus and he,

(15:36):
was with them moving About freely in jerusalem and speaking
out boldly in the Name. Of the lord and he
was talking and Arguing With. The hellenistic jews but they
were attempting to put. Him, to death now when the brothers,
learned of it they brought Him down to cessarea and
sent Him. Away to tarsus so The, Church, throughout Judea

(15:59):
galilee and samaria enjoyed peace as it was, being built
up and as it continued in the Fear of the
lord and in the Comfort Of, the holy spirit. It
kept increasing so this is very interesting because We see
that saul was the main driver to this persecution and

(16:19):
hardship that the, church was experiencing and as he was
moved out, of the way we see that they were
able to move around and do the things that they
needed to do in ways that. THEY weren't before i
find that very interesting and a good thing to remember

(16:42):
when dealing with different types of hardship is that sometimes
there's one specific person that's. Causing, the difficulty okay. Let's go,
ON oh yeah i wanted to, mention that this this
this stirring up, angry religious people angry people, greedy for

(17:10):
power and escapes escapes with his life is a pattern
In the. Apostle, Paul's ministry okay so, As this continued
saul's name Was. Changed to paul he worked with the
rest of the church. Of his time he became an Apostle.

(17:31):
Who replaced judas he ended up spending much of his.
Life in prison he did end. Up being martyred he
preached and taught in many churches. During his ministry he
wrote letters that comprise Much Of, the new testament largely
after he. Was in prison the circumstances of his life,
were very adverse but His revelations Concerning jesus and, jesus's

(17:53):
finished work which are found in his letters have equipped
generations of believers beyond. His life time LET'S go to
X twenty one, x twenty one verses. Four through twelve
after looking, up the disciples we stayed there, for seven
days and They kept telling paul through the spirit not

(18:14):
to Set. Foot in jerusalem when our days, there were
ended we left and started, on our, journey while they
all with, wives and children escorted us until we were out.
Of the city after kneeling down on the, beach and
praying we said farewell. To one another then we boarded
the ship and. They returned home when we had finished The,

(18:35):
voyage from tire We Arrived at pola may and after
greeting the, brothers and sisters we stayed with them. For
a day on the next day we left And, came
to cessarea and we entered The house of, philip the
evangelist who was one, of the seven and. Stayed, with
him now this man had four virgin daughters, Who were

(18:56):
prophetesses and as we were staying there, for some days
A prophet named agabus Came, down from judea and he
came to Us and took paul's belt and bound his own,
feet in, hands and said this Is What the. Holy
spirit says, in This way The jews in jerusalem will

(19:17):
bind the man who owns this belt and hand him Over.
To the gentiles when we, had heard this we as
well as, the local residents began begging him not to Go.
Up To jerusalem, then paul replied what, are you doing
weeping and, breaking MY heart for i am ready not only,
to be bound but even To die in jerusalem for

(19:40):
the Name Of. The lord jesus and since he could,
not be persuaded, we, became quiet remarking the Will of the. Lord,
be done okay a number. Of things here, first Of
all the bible States What the holy spirit, had to
say and that was not to Set. Foot in jerusalem
so that's made clear at the outset of this Conversation

(20:06):
What the holy spirit, had to say over and over
is not to Set. Foot, in jerusalem okay let's go. On,
from there second it's important enough this Message that the
lord was trying To, relay to paul trying to make
known to him and get him to submit himself to

(20:27):
was Important, enough that agabus a ministry gift of Rank
in the church was sent to confirm the Authority of.
The lord's command if if you feel that, THAT sounds
confusing i would encourage you just to Go to the
lord and ask him for. UNDERSTANDING about it i don't

(20:49):
think that it's the time and the place necessarily to get,
into a big long. Thing about it so if you're
registering You're understanding, what, i'm saying great take it. And
go forward and, IF you're not i would just encourage
you to tuck it away somewhere And just trust god
to give you the understanding more Understanding understand that he. Has,

(21:10):
For you okay so agabus ministry gift of Rank in
the church sent to confirm the Authority of the lord's
command to not Set. Foot, in Jerusalem third When, saul essentially, Saul,
Excuse me essentially paul boasted about the physical death he

(21:31):
was willing To. Undergo for jesus but at, the same time,
if you'll notice he was also saying that he wasn't willing. To,
obey him Okay that is I'm not sure i'm ready
to say how, common that is but. That's a thing
that's a thing where there are people who want to

(21:52):
say all about the, sacrifices they'll make but when it
comes to The very thing god wants, them, To, Do,
uh nope nope they want to do what they. Want
to do that's a thing if you don't. Know, About
that okay so he's, essentially boasting, about you know, becoming
a martyr willing to, become a martyr but just not
willing to do the very Thing That the holy spirit

(22:16):
is telling, him right now THIS is what i want.
You to do do not Set. Foot, In, jerusalem okay last,
but not least believers, saying quote unquote the Will of
the lord be done when it. Plainly is not what
is happening. Is nothing new if you're not, familiar with
that that's. Also a thing it's a thing that people

(22:37):
will say the Will of the, lord be done and
it's completely plain and obvious that the Will of the
lord is. Not BEING done and i think THE best
thing i can say is that it's easier said than
done to detach from the group think and actually ask

(23:00):
the questions and actually navigate relationships and interactions when other
people would rather say the Will of the lord be
done than do, anything that is do what it takes

(23:21):
to make the difference. IN the situation i don't know
what they, should HAVE done but i do know that
people saying that is still. A, thing today, OKAY moving
on i want to talk about spiritual fathers A bit
because i've encountered believers who talk about, spiritual FATHERS before

(23:45):
and i specifically want to share The teaching of, jesus
ABOUT this and, i would okay let me just let me.
Just take That so that's matthew twenty. Three to nine
Out Of, the amplified, classic it says do not call
anyone in the church, on earth father for you have

(24:06):
one father who. Is In heaven that's Jesus sayings of
jesus in Read words of christ In red in matthew,
chapter twenty three. Verse number nine i'm going to read It,
again amplify classic and do not call anyone in the church,

(24:28):
on earth father for you have one father who. Is,
in heaven. Okay that's established that's The teaching of. Jesus.
ABOUT that now i would also, Like to say i've
been looking at Different verses where paul talks about birthing People,
in THE gospel and i guess one of the MOST
important things i could say about it is that is

(24:50):
not just birthing People, in the gospel but birthing their
maturity greater like who They. Are, in christ again this
is probably not the time in format to go into a.
Big long thing i'll just Say that talking paul referencing
Birthing people in Christ in the gospel, is spiritual access,

(25:16):
to spiritual ability that is beyond. The physical Realm that's.
What I'll say then i'll Say about so i'll give
you some references where he. Talks About this first. Corinthians
four fifteen, In other Words Book, of first corinthians First

(25:36):
letter of paul to the church at, corinth chapter, four
verse Fifteen next. One phileman ten phileman has, Only One
chapter so phileman ten means the book of The letter
to phileman. Verse number Ten next one, Timothy one two

(26:00):
so That would mean paul's First, letter to timothy and
it would be in, the first chapter, the Second verse next.
Titus one four so This would be Paul's letter to
titus in, the first chapter. Verse, number four okay so,

(26:26):
there's one reference and that's the First one one corinthians
four fifteen about believers not. Having many fathers but the
literal translations do not attribute this Title. Father to paul
in my, STUDIES so far i have found translations That
refer to paul. AS their father i specifically looked. At

(26:48):
literal translations so let me go into literal and paraphrase
and different. THINGS like that A transliteration is i take Sentence,
in say french which often has different order of the components,

(27:09):
of the, sentence the. Verb the noun these things will
often be in different Places. Than IN english so i
take The sentence IN french and i put underneath it
say exactly what each Word, means in ENGLISH and then
i say the sentence without trying to make. It make sense,
that's a transliteration just, word for word this Is what

(27:32):
the french words are, in. This sentence okay TRANSLATION would
be I take the FRENCH sentence and I put in english,
in a proper grammatically correct manner the meaning of The,

(27:52):
words IN french and i endeavor to be as true
as possible to the, correlation of meanings Like the best
english word compared to what the Meaning of the. French.
WORD is okay a paraphrase would be. EXCUSE me please

(28:15):
a PARAPHRASE would be i have This, sentence In french
and i'm going to articulate To you IN english what
i get out of the. MEANING of that i PARAPHRASE
the sense i put it into, my own words and it's.
Not a translation so there are Translations of the bible

(28:37):
that are certainly, better than others and there are paraphrases.
Within the translations there are literal translations which stick much
closer to the original language and take a little bit more,
effort to understand because obviously there's differences in between the

(28:58):
grammatical structure Of sentences In hebrew and Greek. Compared to
english and then there's translations that lean more toward paraphrases
because their, target is readability ease, to, read it okay
and in their mind to understand. It, As well okay
so now Let's talk ABOUT so when i Looked At

(29:21):
the first, corinthians four fifteen the literal translations Weren't attributing
to paul. The title father that, was other TRANSLATIONS and
so i paid, attention to that and that's my. Study
so far, I'm a student i'm. Not an expert that let's, keep.
It there okay the others were THE other. References i

(29:45):
gave he was talking about birthing people, in the gospel
birthing people laboring again That they for christ to be,
formed in them these, types of things which is not
the Same thing as i'm, your spiritual father which is
something that some of us have encountered in church. And,

(30:06):
ministry circles. Okay moving, ON you know i will mention
that if it Turned out that paul did endeavor to
be quote unquote spiritual father to people in Violation of,
What jesus taught if it did turn out to, be
the case and my Understanding and what i've been learning

(30:29):
so far in my, studies is off my observation would
be That the apostle paul appeared to experience a lot
of drama in his. Relationships with DISCIPLES that's what. I,
would say. OKAY moving ON i think i would like
to remind myself and those of you who are Listening

(30:52):
that when paul was preaching his Revelations about The Gospel,
of jesus christ including being a new, creator in him
believers whose families he had devastated before He, came to
christ would have been in the audience at least some,
of the time and they had to forgive him in

(31:13):
order To receive from. God through him hopefully this makes.
Sense to everyone these, revelations are powerful they're necessary to
a Victorious. Life In christ and paul wasn't in a
position after he got born again to arrange the, release, of, husbands, fathers, wives.

(31:37):
Mothers sisters brothers he wasn't in a position. To do
that and What happened is god sent him to equip
the believers with, doctrine and revelation and the people whose

(31:58):
lives he affected had to obey The command of Jesus
And the old. Testament as, well of course Forgivenesses In the.
Old testament too they Had to obey god's command to
forgive in order To access what god prepared for them and.
Sent to them so that's pretty. Powerful to me let's

(32:21):
go over some Of the doctrines. GALATIANS two twenty i
have Been. Crucified with christ it IS no longer, i
Who live but christ lives in me and THE life
which i now live. IN the flesh i live by
Faith in The, son of god who loved me and
gave himself. Up for me, another translation says by the

(32:43):
Faith of The son of god who loved me and
gave himself. Up for me so this is, powerful to
understand to receive the revelation that our old man Is,
crucified with christ and we become a New Creation. In
christ jesus we, Are made new We are, made god's Child,

(33:06):
reconcile to him and we get to find out who
we are and what we have as there's a particular Verse.
In the bible i'm not remembering the reference off the top,
of my head but It talks about jesus being the firstborn.
Among many brethren, so we share we're joint, heirs with

(33:27):
him we share his Inheritance. From The. Father praise god
let Me keep going. Philippians three nine and may be,
found In. Him meaning jesus not having a righteousness of
my own derived, from the law, in other words Doing
the things god, commands to. Do being obedient my righteousness

(33:50):
doesn't come from Whether or not I'm obedient to god. And,
His commands okay. Philippians three nine and may be. Found
in him not having a righteousness of my own derived,
from the law but that which is Through, faith in
christ the righteousness Which comes from god on the. Basis

(34:11):
of faith maybe a little microcosm of this could be
thought of maybe a. Little practical example, it's very, clumsy
very awkward very inadequate, as an example but it just
came to me off the top.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Of my head.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
One illustration could Be Considered that President Trump pushed operation
warp SPEED with the, covid nineteen injections but The citizens
of america love and receive and accept and welcome him
despite his having been deceived and tricked into doing something.

(34:52):
That was harmful and that could maybe be, a little
again it's not that good, of an example but the
separation in between someone being required to perform in the

(35:14):
desired ways to sort of earn acceptance and someone being
welcomed and received for their for making the decisions that
are important. In the situation maybe in that way it

(35:35):
could serve as a bit, of an example because what's
the important part is that we Are. Found in him
the important part is that we Have. Faith in christ that's.
The important part it's not our obedience. To the law
it's not derived from the law of WHETHER or not

(35:56):
i did the right actions or earn or deserve Right
standing with god based on doing. The right actions it's
just the standards. Are too high the standards Are perfection
only jesus attained to The, standard of God and so.
Philippians three nine and may be, found in him not

(36:17):
having a righteousness of my own derived, from the law
but that which is Through, faith in christ the righteousness
Which comes from god on the. Basis of faith, that
is freedom. That is life and there's a lot of
people right now who are increasingly realizing that there are

(36:39):
things that they have done that have messed. Up their
life and it's a really big deal to be faithful
to tell people about the righteousness That is from god
on the. Basis, Of faith okay, romans chapter. Six verse
four therefore we have been, buried With, him meaning jesus through,

(37:00):
baptism into death so That just as christ was raised
from the dead through the Glory, of the father so
we too may walk in. Newness of life this new
identity is such. A Big deal the gospel goes over
it and goes over it and goes over it because.
It's so important it's so important for people believers to

(37:25):
know and understand, their old man their old. Life is over,
let it go, take it off shed it and allow
that spiritual whether they call it, sacrament or something there's
some term in whatever church ministry about different things that

(37:46):
you do because Of. Faith, in jesus anyway baptism is
one of the things you do get baptized or immersed
in water in the Name of the Father and the
Son And. The holy spirit so it Says buried with
jesus through. Baptism into death because it's very important that
we understand that, that old life that old person we,
used to, be is gone like six, feet under gone

(38:09):
like never to, be, raised again gone like leave it, in,
the ground gone and that We accept that christ was
raised from the dead through the Glory, of the father
and we are, raised with him we too may walk in.
Newness of life so let's Go to second. Corinthians, five
seventeen therefore if Anyone, is in christ he is. A

(38:31):
new creation the old. Things, passed away behold new. Things
have come let's Go to second corinthians five. Point twenty
one just a few. Some verses down, he Made, him
meaning jesus who, knew no sin to be sin, on

(38:54):
our behalf so that we might become The righteousness Of.
God in him the righteous claiming to be The righteousness
of god. Is super important and don't leave off the.
In him part if. That makes Sense it's like. James

(39:15):
four seven we don't want to go around telling people
to resist the devil and. He will flee we want to,
remember to say submit Yourself, therefore to god, resist the
devil and he will. Flee from you ephesians two. Four Through,
seven but god being rich in mercy because of his
great love with which he loved us even when we

(39:37):
were dead, and our wrongdoings made us Alive. Together with,
christ by grace you have been saved and raised Us
up with him and Seated us with him in the
Heavenly Places, in christ jesus so that in the, Ages
to come he might show the boundless riches of his

(39:59):
wa grace and kindness Toward Us. In christ jesus remember this.
Is like righteousness this is not based on. Our right
actions this is based on participating in a spiritual Process
ordained by god Through. Faith, in jesus okay let me.

(40:21):
Read This again but god being rich in mercy because
of his great love with which he loved us even
when we were dead, in our wrongdoings so. This process
started we were dead, in our wrongdoings not when we
had gone to church for a certain, number of times
not when we had been tithing for a certain, period
