WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:03.560 I want to talk about the New Creation, and specifically, 2 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:09.039 I've got scriptures in there that talk about the ten trees, 3 00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.919 the ten trees of your heart garden. And this is 4 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:15.519 kind of a new thing. I put it together for 5 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:19.640 Africa when I went over there. And so these are 6 00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:26.879 scriptures about the ten trees of your heart garden. And the. 7 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.199 Purpose of these scriptures. 8 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.880 Is to get you thinking like Jesus, to get you 9 00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:45.840 processing life more like Jesus and seeing life from his perspective. 10 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:54.840 I really wish, I really wish what happened. I wish 11 00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:59.560 that when we bring you up here to the baptismal tank, right, 12 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.920 and then we throw you in the baptismal tank. How 13 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.000 many of you got thrown in the baptismal tank. So 14 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:12.560 I really wish, and here you are, and you are 15 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:18.079 dead in the baptismal tank. I really wish right after 16 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.560 that we could take you out to another room and 17 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:29.560 hook you up to a IV that would fill your 18 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:35.519 heart with the way God sees life. Right, and John 19 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:41.760 seventeen right, the Father and I are one. We know 20 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:46.200 that Jesus is the Word of God made flesh right. 21 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.879 So but you know, how does he think? How does 22 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.519 he process life. What's his perspective, And what we discover 23 00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:00.840 in scripture is that the more we see the he thinks, 24 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.520 then the more we become like him by partnering with 25 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:13.479 our faith. Everybody say faith. So this is so important, 26 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.280 and I want to just I want to go back 27 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.599 to where I left off at the end of the 28 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.800 at the end of the service two weeks ago, we 29 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:27.039 left off with tewod Corinthians ten three through five, and 30 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.719 we can go there. And here it says, though we 31 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.199 walk in the flesh, and that is walk in the 32 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.360 earth suit, walk in the sense realm, welcome the natural. 33 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:46.479 We don't war according to the flesh. Now he's alluding 34 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.879 to this idea that we're we're up against we're up 35 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:56.560 against adversity, and adversity is up against us. So and 36 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:58.800 for us to be productive in life. And we all 37 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.719 have a desire to be productive in life. And in 38 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:06.240 this booklet of scriptures, I'm giving you the ten Trees 39 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.000 of Life. We talk about it restored life. And that's 40 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:13.479 kind of my focus in this booklet of scriptures, because 41 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.759 I think every one of us are trying to be productive, 42 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:25.560 and our productivity is often focused on these kinds of desires, 43 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:32.199 and Father has a way for us to actualize those desires. 44 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:43.199 Marriage and family, legacy, influence, vocation and purpose, sexuality. I've 45 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.960 got ten of these trees listed in there that I 46 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:54.000 think are the They're actually what many times we're focused on, 47 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.639 and when we don't bear fruit in those areas and 48 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.840 we're not seeing the goodness of God in those areas, 49 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.240 if we don't know what to do scripturally, then we 50 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.919 end up going into frustration. If our marriage is falling apart, 51 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.360 if our finances are falling apart, if our purpose is 52 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:18.000 not fulfilled, if we're not building or leaving a legacy, 53 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:24.639 just any of those ten. Wherever there's hope deferred Proverbs 54 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:30.519 thirteen twelve, hope deferred makes the heart sick. And so 55 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.480 where there's a defermative hope, many times then as we 56 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.519 might reflect on that area of our lives, we find 57 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:44.639 that we're a little discouraged, maybe depressed, maybe self loathing, 58 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:51.319 maybe embarrassed, may be ashamed. And God has given us 59 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:56.319 this beautiful thing wherein as. 60 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:57.920 We are raised up out of. 61 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:04.439 Death to Adam and we come into the new creation life, 62 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:11.040 then He partners with us for the fulfillment of the 63 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.680 very desires he's placed in us. Did you know that 64 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:19.120 he placed those desires in you? He placed all these 65 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.639 the desires that he placed within you, as I've listed 66 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:26.759 him here. These desires are not The desire is not unclean. 67 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:31.120 The desire is not demonic. The desire is not fleshly 68 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:35.680 or carnal. It's what gets attached to that desire. And 69 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:40.319 either we attach the methodology and the plans and the 70 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.720 promises of God, or we attach the methodology of the 71 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:49.720 unclean realm. So here we are, and if we could just, 72 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.680 you know, go back a little bit to our timeline. 73 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.480 Here we are in Adam, and I'm just going to 74 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.879 draw Adam here. This is Adam. And Adam has a 75 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:05.319 grumbly face because he's in a bad mood because he 76 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.680 just got kicked out of the garden. And so he's 77 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:13.199 got a grumbly face and his hair isn't doing good either. 78 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.120 His chin is sagging, and yeah, it's just it's a 79 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.000 bad day for Adam. So but the problem is with 80 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:30.639 Adam and grumblely Eve is that you were in his lineage. 81 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:35.000 And here you are down here somewhere, and I'm gonna 82 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.319 draw you down here, And here you are with your 83 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:42.439 grumbly face. And here you are down here, and you 84 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.120 were made in his image, you were made in his likeness. 85 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.199 Johnny forty four says, this is the words of Jesus. 86 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.600 That's pretty important. He says, you are of your father, 87 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:57.160 the devil, and then he goes on to define the 88 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:01.040 devil as a liar and a murderer. And then over 89 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:05.879 here in Ephesians chapter two, Ephesians Chapter two, verses one 90 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:10.839 and two, he says that we were all children deserving 91 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:15.040 of the wrath of God because the spirit of disobedience 92 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.839 was dwelling on the inside of us, moving us and 93 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:23.839 motivating us. And so in Adam things were bad. And 94 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.800 I'm just gonna put this in here so you don't forget. 95 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:32.759 This is Adam, okay. And so this was a bad day. 96 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:37.240 The fall about him was a bad day because these 97 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:44.759 are his breeches. Nobody say bitches. So the Bible says, 98 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.800 you were in his loins when he fell. That's somewhere 99 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.680 in his breeches. You were in his loins when he fell. 100 00:07:52.480 --> 00:08:04.240 And so so Romans five seventeen says that through the 101 00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.839 sin of that one man, we were all given over 102 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.519 to condemnation and death because we were in him when 103 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:18.240 he fell. And so this negative way of thinking, it's 104 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.480 like we had the IV. We were hooked up to 105 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:25.680 the IV of negativity. This negativity was natural for us. 106 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:29.199 It was natural. We didn't Profanity was natural. We didn't 107 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:35.320 think anything of it, and cheating was natural, and deceiting 108 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.360 was natural, and lying was natural, and hating was natural. 109 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.759 And bitterness with our enemies are eukidding me? That was natural. 110 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.639 We didn't think an We didn't have to have anybody 111 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:49.360 train our mind. There was no renewing of the mind. 112 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.519 We didn't have to learn any of these unclean tactics 113 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.679 or techniques. We didn't have to learn any of them. 114 00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:01.279 They were downloaded into our nature sure, as a part 115 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.320 of us. And the Bible says we were born in iniquity. 116 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.480 Iniquity means that we were perverted. It means to pervert, 117 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.960 to twist, to distort, and that's our nature. Our very 118 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:20.159 nature was perverted, twisted and distorted from birth, from birth, 119 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.519 and nobody had to train us the stuff like we 120 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:28.759 could get angry when we were How old did you 121 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:35.039 were you when you had your first temper tantrum? Right? 122 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.320 Come on, somebody, you know if you've raised children, you know, 123 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.360 you watch you watch them having a temper tantrum. Nobody 124 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.240 had to train them how to have it. They didn't 125 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.000 have to go to school to learn temper tantrum. There 126 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.799 was no education with that. There was no special class 127 00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:55.480 for temper tantrum class. Right, So what because it was 128 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.120 a part of it's a part of our nature. It's 129 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:03.759 just the way we're already wired. So, but what happens 130 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:06.480 is we're going to church. Here we are we come here, 131 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:08.519 We're going to church as a part of our nature. 132 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:12.639 And then we we learn along the way. We learn 133 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:18.240 that this behavior has made us a child of wrath, 134 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.320 the wrath of God is on us, and that we're 135 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:25.200 separated from God. And we learn that we could be forgiven. 136 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:29.879 And as we learn that this behavior is not of God, 137 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:34.720 but it's a partnership with the demonic realm, because over here, 138 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:42.120 over here, we told you that a moment ago, the 139 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:50.480 Lord over Adam was Satan. So we're going along and 140 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.000 we find out we can be forgiven. And so as 141 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.960 we embrace John three three through five, and we're born 142 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.919 of the spirit. As we embrace that and we're born 143 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.559 in the spirit, then we discover something. We discover that 144 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.879 we can have a relationship with God. We have peace 145 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:14.600 with God, we have forgiveness, and we have eternal life. 146 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:22.919 Shout yes, somebody, So something happens with us. But we 147 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:32.240 continue down this trajectory and we continue to act like 148 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:38.000 Adam even though we're forgiven. We're acting like Adam even 149 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:46.279 though we're forgiven. Anybody ever have that problem, anybody in 150 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:51.200 the room. So then we want to get over here 151 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:55.159 into the trajectory of Christ, but we don't know how. 152 00:11:55.480 --> 00:12:02.679 So then we're instructed that way out of Adam is death. 153 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:12.000 The only way out of Adam is death. Excuse me. 154 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.320 Psychology is not the way out about him. Counseling is 155 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:19.399 not the way out of aout him. No counseling can help, right. 156 00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:24.519 Counseling can lead us to death. But we essentially needed death. 157 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:29.759 We need a death. I think, I'm okay. We essentially 158 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:31.440 need a death. And so this is what the water 159 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.000 of baptism is all about. We go into the baptismal 160 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.600 tank and I'm gonna read you some scriptures on this 161 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:42.639 in a minute. But in baptism, we embrace death, and 162 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:46.799 we embraced the death of Jesus in baptism. So just 163 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:51.519 as he came in the likeness of Adam but then 164 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:57.679 sacrificed his life on the cross because of his perfection. 165 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.440 When he did that, he was putting to death. The 166 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:06.000 power of Satan over those who are in Adam. If 167 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:12.720 those in Adam will join him in death, they have 168 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.879 to join him. We have to join Jesus in death 169 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.799 and declare that we are dead to who we were 170 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:29.679 in Adam. Sounds crazy, does sound kind of crazy, but 171 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:32.919 it works. This is a powerful thing. All of Heaven 172 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.799 is watching this, The whole spirit realm is watching this. 173 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:40.120 Everything in heaven is watching this. Like Baptism is a 174 00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:45.919 significant event that Satan and all of the demonic forces 175 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.639 have to honor because we are identifying with the death 176 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:53.799 of Christ and we are dying to who we were 177 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.720 and coming up out of the waters of baptism. We 178 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:02.559 are coming up out of the waters of baptism into resurrection. 179 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:10.720 And Jesus is the founder, He's the beginner, He's the beginning, 180 00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:15.360 He's the fountain head of a brand new race of people. 181 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:19.080 So you are no longer who you were. But once 182 00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:24.200 you've encountered death and resurrection, you come into the second atom, 183 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:28.399 So Jesus is called the second atom. He's also called 184 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:35.159 the last atom by scripture. So up here we have 185 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:40.039 to be real careful because religion is telling us you're 186 00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.600 still gonna mess up. You're still gonna have bad thoughts, 187 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.840 you're still gonna blow it. You're still gonna have timber tantrums. 188 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.120 You're gonna have a lot of fear that keeps you 189 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:51.440 from doing things. You're gonna have worthlessness, you're gonna have anger, 190 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:53.639 you're gonna have bitterness, You're gonna have all of that. 191 00:14:54.159 --> 00:15:01.080 But the focus of religion is forgiveness. And so this 192 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:04.600 is what religion is telling you. So as long as 193 00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:08.120 you memorize First John one nine, you're gonna be okay. 194 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.120 You just need to memorize First John one nine. Become 195 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.799 very familiar with First John one nine. Now, first John 196 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:20.679 one nine says that if we sin right, we can 197 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:25.039 confess our sins, and He is faithful and just to 198 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.960 forgive us of our sins and the cleanses from all 199 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:33.919 in righteousness. So that's a valid picture of the love 200 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:36.960 of the Lord over our lives, and it's a valid 201 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.759 picture of the power of his sacrifice to us and 202 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.039 over us. But The problem is it's not worth where. 203 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:47.679 It's not where we're supposed to camp. Have you ever 204 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:53.720 camped at the wrong spot? You camped in a tent 205 00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:56.240 when you found out there was an RV waiting for you, 206 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:01.080 and he had running water and a shallow and a toilet. 207 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:02.639 It had a toilet. You didn't have to get up 208 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:04.600 in the middle of the night and kind of meander 209 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.399 to a bush somewhere or the backside of a state park, 210 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:14.159 you know, latrine. Hello, somebody, But you camped at the 211 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:17.080 wrong spot. And this is what believers are doing. This 212 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:20.000 is what religion is leading us to do. To camp 213 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:24.759 at forgiveness instead of camp at perfection, to camp at 214 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:30.080 forgiveness instead of camp at restoration. And so we're told 215 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.840 that this is where we camp, and so we continue 216 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:37.480 with the mind of Adam. Now I'm talking about people 217 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.279 to get baptized. We actually get baptized, and we celebrate baptism. 218 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:46.200 We actually celebrate baptism and we get baptized. But when 219 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:49.679 we spring up into the new life, we don't discover 220 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:53.879 who He made us to be. Now that's why I'm 221 00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:55.679 handing out this stuff today because I want you to 222 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:57.720 read this. I want you to read who he made 223 00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:59.120 you to be. I want you to read what he 224 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:03.200 has for you in your marriage, what he has in sexuality, 225 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.519 what he has in your purpose, what he has in 226 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:09.200 your finances, what he has in rest and recreation. You know, 227 00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.799 rest and recreation is one of the things that actually 228 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.480 you desire to be fulfilled in. And you're probably thinking, 229 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.839 he doesn't want that for me. Wow, he never wants 230 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.000 me to rest. What in the world God would celebrate 231 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.720 my recreation? So let's look at the Bible, Let's look 232 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.880 at scriptures. Let's find out what the mind of Christ is, 233 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.799 because really, I can't come into the fullness of my 234 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:39.880 restoration over here. And this is supposed to be resurrection life. 235 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:43.799 Is it two rs or two s's what is it? 236 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:47.319 Don't trust me on that one. So this is supposed 237 00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:51.200 to be resurrection life, right, I'm supposed to be living 238 00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:54.559 resurrection life. But if I don't know what that looks like. 239 00:17:54.599 --> 00:18:03.160 If I don't know, because resurrection life is the Christ life. Yeah, 240 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.160 But because we don't have a renewing of the mind 241 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:09.720 iv bag, we don't. We don't. We don't have that room. Now, 242 00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:11.720 maybe when we build on the church, we'll add that 243 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.759 in but right now, right now, when you're baptized in 244 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:17.079 the waters of baptism, we don't have a room where 245 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:19.240 you take We take you in, hook you up to 246 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:21.799 an IV of the mind of Christ and then we, 247 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:23.680 you know, drain a couple of bags into your heart 248 00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:26.960 and next thing you know, you've got you walk out 249 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.640 and you're like, you know yeah, and you're like a 250 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.119 wonder working word machine. And we just say, how are 251 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:35.079 you feeling today? And you say, I am blessed with 252 00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:41.160 every blessing in heaven. Okay, that's good. Tests number one okay, Uh, 253 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.519 do you feel like you're sick today? No, I am 254 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.359 an overcomer of sickness and disease by his stripes, I 255 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:52.839 was healed. Okay. Question number two, that's good. Uh, you 256 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:55.279 said si. And we ask you about ten of these 257 00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:00.799 questions you know about your ask you about your finances. Oh, 258 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.599 my goodness, My God supplies all of my needs by 259 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:08.839 his by his riches in Christ Jesus. Right, and you 260 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.119 just know all these promises, you know, whatever the topic is, right, 261 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.640 you know the well, we don't have that IV bag 262 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.400 and that room in operation. So what happens is you 263 00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:20.920 have to be you have to be the one who 264 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:26.200 renews your mind with the word of God, renews your 265 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.039 mind with the life of Christ, with the essence of 266 00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:31.759 who he is. Because He is your life, he is 267 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.799 your identity, He is the last atom. He is the 268 00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:38.839 fountain head of your new creation. And as I said 269 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:42.359 maybe two weeks ago, I say it often if you're 270 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.079 having a thought that isn't in agreement with God or Christ, 271 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:56.880 it's not your thought. Doesn't mean you don't take doesn't 272 00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:59.599 take it, doesn't mean you don't take responsibility for the thought. 273 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:02.640 But if I'm having an inappropriate thought about my money, 274 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:06.279 if I'm having a depressing thought about my recreation, if 275 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:09.720 I'm having a depressing thought about my sexuality, if I'm 276 00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:12.839 having a depressing thought about my purpose, if I'm having 277 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:16.880 a negative thought, if I'm having a theft thought or 278 00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:20.400 a fear thought about one of these ten trees that 279 00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:24.880 God has placed the desires of within me, then it's 280 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:28.480 not me having the thought. It's an influence from Adam. 281 00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.720 That is an unclean influence from Adam. And I don't 282 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:34.359 need to come into agreement with it. Now. 283 00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.640 I do take responsibility over it. I take it captive. 284 00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:42.200 I take it captive and then I grab that thought 285 00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:46.680 and I bring it back into obedience to the fountain 286 00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:49.599 head of my life. Adam is the fountain head of 287 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:55.440 my life. Second Adam, last, Adam, victorious, Adam, overcoming Adam. 288 00:20:55.720 --> 00:21:01.839 He is the fountain head of my life. Now over here, 289 00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:05.039 this stuff just was natural. It was just flowing, like 290 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:09.440 something flowing in my veins. Right, it was just natural 291 00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:13.720 for me to have these yucky thoughts. So now that 292 00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:16.559 I've put those thoughts to death and the power of 293 00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:19.359 those thoughts, and I'm no longer listening to the demonic 294 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:22.559 realm that was orchestrating those thoughts, what am I going 295 00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:27.039 to think about? What am I going to think about? 296 00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:31.279 This is why we're exhorted to read the word. This 297 00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:33.640 is why we're exhorted to look at the word. This 298 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.079 is why we're exhorted to meditate on the word day 299 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.160 and night, and do not let anything else come out 300 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:48.680 of your mouth. What's what's Joshua one six through eight? Say? 301 00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:53.519 Meditate on my words day and night. Don't let anything 302 00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:55.480 else come out of your mouth? Is Joshua one six 303 00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:59.519 through eight? Then you will make your way prosperous and successful. 304 00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:05.720 Did you hear that? Oh? No? God's gonna make my 305 00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:10.640 way prosperous and successful. Yes, he will, in a partnership 306 00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:15.200 with you. It's a partnership with you. You will make 307 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.920 your way prosperous and successful because you have come into 308 00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:23.920 agreement with the resurrected life that is yours. You and 309 00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:26.640 I have to come into agreement with his resurrected life 310 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.920 that is ours. Okay, it's almost time to quit. Already, 311 00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:37.359 time is flying. Let's read some verses Romans chapter six 312 00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:39.680 eight through eleven. Half we died with Christ. You might 313 00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:44.160 die with Christ. This is baptism. Okay. If we died 314 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.880 with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. 315 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:50.839 Now it's not talking about heaven. The topic is not heaven. 316 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:55.960 Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies 317 00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.480 no more death no longer has dominion over him. For 318 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.599 the death that he died. He died to sin once 319 00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:08.880 for all. Sin is the master of Adam. Satan is 320 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:13.440 the master of sin in the waters of baptism, that's 321 00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:19.799 put to death. Yes, he died to sin once for all, 322 00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:24.279 But the life that he lives, he lives to God. Likewise, 323 00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:32.519 you also consider reckon believe that you yourselves are dead 324 00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:37.480 indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus, 325 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:44.160 our Lord. So you're not just dead, you're alive. You're 326 00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:49.480 alive Lord, but you're alive to Christ Jesus. You're alive 327 00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:55.000 in Christ. Jesus. Yes, Colossians two, verse nine. For in Christ, 328 00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.880 all the fullness of the deity lives in bodily form. 329 00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.359 And in Christ you've been brought into fullness. He is 330 00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:04.160 the head of every power and authority. In Him, you 331 00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:07.200 were circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. 332 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.279 Your whole self rule by the flesh was put off 333 00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.279 when you were circumcised by Christ, having been buried with 334 00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:18.039 Him in baptism, in which you were also raised with Him. 335 00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:21.759 Through your faith, through your what. 336 00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:27.319 Now, you can't have faith if you don't know the word. 337 00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:34.640 There's an assumption with Paul. He's assuming that you're learning 338 00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:38.640 the word. He's assuming you're learning the word. If you're 339 00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:40.799 not learning the word, you can't have faith. Faith is 340 00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:43.920 not based on air. Faith is not a thurial. Faith 341 00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:46.480 is not a cloud somewhere that you grab. Faith is 342 00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:49.720 not a happy thought. Faith is based on the Word 343 00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:53.839 of God. Romans ten seventeen. Faith cometh by and hearing 344 00:24:54.079 --> 00:25:02.279 the word of Christ. The word of Christ. Christ makes 345 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:07.319 the word alive, and the word word in Romanston seventeen 346 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:14.039 is rama. He makes the rama of the word alive 347 00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:17.480 to your heart. And you can't have that if you 348 00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:21.279 don't devour the logos. You have to devour the logos 349 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.599 that Christ will then buy the Holy Spirit quicken it 350 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:32.160 unto rama. You devour the logos, he turns it into rama. 351 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:36.880 Holy Spirit turns logos written word into rama. As you 352 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:50.319 devour the word, I'm cheating. You came early, she came early, 353 00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:57.559 Colossing three one. Since then you've been raised with Christ. 354 00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:02.160 Set your hearts on things above where Christ is seated 355 00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:04.160 at the right hand of God. Now that doesn't mean 356 00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:07.759 set your heart on clouds. Set your heart on the 357 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.160 way he thinks about money, the way he thinks about marriage, 358 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:13.960 the way he thinks about recreation, the way he thinks 359 00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:16.880 about legacy, the way he thinks about influence, the way 360 00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:20.039 he thinks about ministry, the way he thinks about family. 361 00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:25.160 Set your mind on the way he thinks about these things. 362 00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:29.960 For you died, who died? Adam died. 363 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.880 Your lineage in Adam has died, and your life is 364 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:42.119 now hidden with Christ, the last atom in God, who's 365 00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:46.920 become the fountain head not just of your salvation or forgiveness, 366 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:52.720 he's the fountain head of every thought, of every thought, 367 00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:57.359 of every thought, of every thought. The weapons of our 368 00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:02.839 warfare are mighty unto God. Taking every thought captive, how 369 00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:09.440 many thoughts, every thought captive, and bringing those thoughts into 370 00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:12.559 the obedience of Christ. Why Christ, it's not his last name. 371 00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:15.960 He's the anointed one, he's the Messiah, he's the Savior, 372 00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:18.799 he's the Redeemer. But he's also the fountain head of 373 00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:23.799 your being. He is the last atom, and your life 374 00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:26.519 now springs up out of the last atom, not the first. 375 00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:33.119 So we're learning in these scriptures how God thinks. We're 376 00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.400 learning how he thinks we're learning his thoughts over us. 377 00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:42.839 They're not just promises. But this little thing I handered 378 00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:46.920 out to you today is filled with promises. But it's 379 00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:50.240 more than promises. But it's the essence of how He 380 00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:56.160 thinks about all of these desires that stir you and 381 00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.720 move you, and that really you need. You need a 382 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.519 word on them. You need a word on those desires. 383 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.799 You need faith on those desires, and faith comes through 384 00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.680 His word when you partner with His word, that's partnering 385 00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:15.440 with faith. When you partner with faith, things begin to happen. 386 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.720 Mountains begin to move, things begin to change, things begin 387 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:23.200 to get transformed, and you begin to experience this resurrection 388 00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:36.880 life that we all desire. Hello, somebody one more if 389 00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:39.880 he's a four seventeen. So I tell you this and 390 00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:41.680 insist on it in the Lord that you must no 391 00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.400 longer live as the gentiles do in the futility of 392 00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:53.559 their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated 393 00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:55.480 from the life of God because of the ignorance that 394 00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:59.680 is in them, due to the hardening of their hearts, 395 00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:04.839 having lost all sensuality or sensitivity. I'm sorry, having lost 396 00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.720 all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so 397 00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:11.119 as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they're 398 00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:16.200 full of greed. That, however, is not the way of 399 00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:19.640 life that you learned when you heard about Christ and 400 00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:24.119 were taught in Him in accordance with the truth that 401 00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:31.920
