And now to today's message. 12 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:31.079 Amen, let's take a confession from Joshua and best eight 13 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.480 best book of the Law, Shallow depart out of my mouth, 14 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.760 that I shall meditate in a day and night, that 15 00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.719 I may observe to do according to all that just 16 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.760 rated it. But then I will make my way prospered, 17 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:52.879 and then I will have good success. Amen, as we 18 00:01:52.879 --> 00:02:00.560 welcome each other into the presence of God. And Amen, 19 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.760 and so in this man's as we are looking at 20 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:06.680 yet another, we are looking at a very very important 21 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:11.400 subject of bringing order in our giving life as individuals, 22 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.960 as families, and I believe in as a church Charlie Louier. 23 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:21.319 And our text is taken from Matthew chapter six, verse 24 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.719 twenty four. Can we now pick it up? So those 25 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.639 are some of the truths that we have learned. Like 26 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.919 I said, we are tailed doving all our conversations. We 27 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:35.800 did our conversations with God, order in our prayer, ordering 28 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.240 conversations with one another. And now we're going to look 29 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.360 at how we can bring order to our giving life. 30 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.400 And can we put it in context? Now, let's start 31 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.240 from verse nineteen and then come to twenty four just 32 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.599 a little context. And he says, do not lay up 33 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:58.599 for yourselves treasures on it were Morth and Rast destroyed, 34 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:03.479 and were thieves break in and steal twenty But layer 35 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:07.319 for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither Moth nor Rast 36 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.280 destroys and were thieves. 37 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.599 Do not break in and steal Where. 38 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:18.639 Your treasure is there, your heart will be also twenty two. 39 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.919 The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore 40 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.000 your eye is good, your whole body will be full 41 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:25.479 of light. 42 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:26.680 Twenty three. 43 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.000 But if your eye is bad. Your whole body will 44 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.360 be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is 45 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.639 in you is darkness, how great is that darkness? And 46 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:42.759 then he says that no one can save two masters, 47 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.360 for either he will hate the one and love the other, 48 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.360 or else he will loawyer out to the one and 49 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:58.319 despise the other. You cannot save God, and mammon, amen, 50 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:03.879 he's talking about being divided, die vision, save God or 51 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.719 serve man. And already before in nineteen was thinking about 52 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.639 the treasures he knows. And in this verse, yeah, he says, 53 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:12.680 you cannot save God. 54 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:13.319 And mamone. 55 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.639 Mamone was the name for the god or the spirit 56 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:21.199 behind wealth, money or property in. 57 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:22.959 Jesus's day, How they do here? 58 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.120 And so by so saying he was talking about the 59 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:33.199 d gathering, you know, spirit behind the drive the quests 60 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:39.800 for money. At the exclusion of the same drive, passion 61 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:47.560 and enthusiasm for God, he may in a way Jesus 62 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.399 was trying to let us draw our attention. Look, if 63 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:55.360 we put the same zeal, passion, enthusiasm in our sech 64 00:04:55.480 --> 00:05:01.920 for God as we do for money, we will find him. 65 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.480 And this one let me say a few things. Yeah, 66 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:04.879 and then. 67 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.720 And do what I believe we should do this night, 68 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:16.639 and then lay the foundation for our subsequent talks. Is 69 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.279 the fact that this is part of what he said 70 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.879 during the Salmon on the Mount. So Matthew Chapter five, 71 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:32.639 six and seven, the gospel writer Matthew sets in place 72 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:39.480 what Bible scholars and the church, or the Christian Bible 73 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.319 students and scholars have come to know and called the 74 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:50.079 Salmon on the Mount, Harlen Lewis, and the Salmon on 75 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.040 the Mount, we could call it eve you like a 76 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:59.000 code of ethics for believers Jesus in the Salmon on 77 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:07.480 the Mound. That's our kingdom ethics, kingdom ethos, culture, principles 78 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:13.439 that God expects to see in the life of his children. 79 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.160 And I just wanted us to read there. I look 80 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:17.439 at it. 81 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.759 There are seventy two verses before we get to these 82 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.920 twenty four. So we are going to attempt to read 83 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.519 all these seventy two verses, you know, so that we 84 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:32.639 can get the backdrop, you know, of where money comes in. 85 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:38.040 And I have yet that don't take me on, because 86 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:42.199 I've not already anywhere. And if I'm wrong, it is 87 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.399 me that I'm wrong. The same one on the Mount 88 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.240 can be cited as one of the longest lecture times 89 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.959 or sessions that Jesus had with his disciples here on earth. 90 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:54.720 I don't know. 91 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.199 It's a five, six, seven, and from five and six 92 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.199 to twenty four alone, I've seventy two verses, and we 93 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.720 have to continue from there to the end of chapter 94 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.160 six and then chapter seven, and all these things from 95 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:13.079 the gospel account seem to have been one long lecture 96 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.279 or session. And I've told you, amen, it was a 97 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:22.720 session where he lay clearly the kingdom principles that God 98 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:29.040 wants or expects to be seen in his disciples or larous. 99 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:33.560 And remember who the disciple is. The disciple is someone 100 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:37.920 who is falling a rabbi so that he can be coached, 101 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:43.279 mentor taught and hopefully become just like his rabbi. That's 102 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.319 why we call disciples who were larous. 103 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:52.199 Amen. Jesus came to teach and to do well. 104 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:56.480 Read it in somewhere Halleluiah, so the Bible says. And 105 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.839 seeing the multitus, he went up on the mountain, and 106 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:01.680 when he was. 107 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.959 Seated, look at the people who came to it. 108 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:10.879 His disciples, His disciples came to him. So it wasn't 109 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.639 just the crowd, but particularly his disciples was the focus 110 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:17.759 of this rather long lecture. 111 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.600 Three chapters, three long chapters. 112 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:26.839 How the lawyer amen and in line with what he's 113 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.360 been teaching us throughout. 114 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:31.800 I can't say that that's what I'm saying. 115 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.840 It was a very long session in the school of 116 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:40.360 the Spirit. Hello, So Jesus took them through the school 117 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:42.960 of the Spray. And it wasn't the Holy Spirit was 118 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.200 the instructor, but Jesus himself. Remember he said that he 119 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.919 is the chief instructor, but he has to leave. When 120 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.120 he leaves, he says that I'm going to send someone 121 00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:52.799 the Holy Spirit. 122 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.320 Who now become your teacher. 123 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.360 So it was a session or a lecture and period 124 00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:01.559 by a very very long period, Halene Loujah, and I 125 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.759 believe it was for a good reason, if not for 126 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:06.519 anything at all, to give us the idea that we 127 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.399 need long hours or sessions with God if we hope 128 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:15.639 to have our minds transformed from the substantial damage that 129 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.279 has been done in our so journing in the world. 130 00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:22.159 You know, you look at yourself, Chess, and. 131 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:28.879 How bad you were, Hello, Jo, have your parents and 132 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.120 you have everybody look at you and see you're a 133 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.399 small boy or a girl.

You know you don't know, hallelujah. 154 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.720 Amen. No. My point is, my point is that we 155 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.240 need long sessions. That's like the. 156 00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:01.600 Damnit is some standis the damach hallne No doubt Jesus 157 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:03.960 took a long time, because if we read through, you 158 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:07.720 realize that, as I said, he was spelling our kingdom principles, 159 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.559 and most of the things he was just you know, 160 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.000 de banking old accessions, principles that they had grown up 161 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.639 with attitudes that they had learned from their sojourning or 162 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.799 belonging to the kingdom of Satan. 163 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.440 And now remember he said, disciples. 164 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.919 These are people that he are translated out of Satan's 165 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:32.799 domain of darkness into the kingdom of the and got 166 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:36.559 himsel new that look, we need these long sessions so 167 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.679 that we cannot do the damn it before we can 168 00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:43.279 and be able to once again they construct the old man. 169 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.759 Else we are not going to get anywhere. Is it 170 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.799 anyone that he told Jeorshare that this book of the 171 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.000 Law shall not depart out of armand but we shall 172 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:58.200 meditate only day and night, day and night, continually at 173 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:02.519 every opportunity, because it will only take the power of 174 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.240 the Word of God to undo or to do the deconstruction, 175 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:12.320 to destroy all attitudes in our lives and mindsets and habits. 176 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.879 They can only be destroyed by the Word of God. 177 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.440 He said, ye shall know the truth, and the truth 178 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:20.159 is what will set you free. And it is the 179 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.480 same word and authority of the world that helps us 180 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:27.320 to construct the new Man. So when it comes to 181 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:30.960 the Word of God, it is primary. And remember what 182 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:34.559 the John said, John in his introductory and passages, the 183 00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.519 Word in the beginning was the Word, and the Word 184 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:39.919 was with God, and the Word was God. 185 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.600 And without him was nothing made. That was made. 186 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:49.799 He said, in him was light, and the life was 187 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:56.799 what the light of me. Hallelujah, Amen. And so we 188 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.480 need it, we need more. And like I'm saying, long 189 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.799 sessions with the Lord, hallelujah. 190 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:06.360 And and. 191 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:11.679 The Word of God. It's going to be very, very 192 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:12.559 very central. 193 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:16.080 That's why we keep on saying, read your Bible every day. 194 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:19.600 Read your Bible every day, hallelujah. 195 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:21.759 Amen.

I don't want him to 203 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:44.960 go and have it end my life. 204 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.240 God, he belongs with me. I am him. We are 205 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.399 going to help. That's what Satan is saying.

And as I said, it's going to be 220 00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:45.559 a lifetime of re education in the school of the Spirit. 221 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:51.799 There's the need for a mind shaft and transformed. And 222 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:55.679 that is what we'll be able to empower us to 223 00:14:55.799 --> 00:15:00.600 do the will of God for a lifetime. To do 224 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.799 the will of God for a lifetime, something has shift 225 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.240 in our hearts and our minds. 226 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.000 If it doesn't, we can't. 227 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.440 How many people do you know who began with us 228 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:14.519 or who started in check and have drifted. And when 229 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:16.639 they all can what do they see? We can't do 230 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:19.879 the wed when they all come, and when they all said, 231 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:20.720 the word. 232 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:21.559 Is too hard. 233 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:27.720 It doesn't fit into our modern day lifestyles. It's absolute. 234 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:32.919 It needs to be edited. If God will edit it, 235 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:37.320 our come. It's all about the weight of God. No edition, 236 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:46.840 new edition with some deletes. Halen lujia, amen.
