God we just just live here we&#8217;ll<br \/>00:20<br \/>give it a minute or two for the people<br \/>00:23<br \/>will be ended in her end<br \/>00:27<br \/>good evening to all of you and greetings<br \/>00:33<br \/>in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and<br \/>00:36<br \/>our Savior dude I mean that father his<br \/>00:41<br \/>father and our Father which is in heaven<br \/>00:43<br \/>praise God were thankful for this day<br \/>00:49<br \/>I was said were to rejoice and be glad<br \/>00:52<br \/>in it and so I just wanted to say a few<br \/>01:01<br \/>words of greeting while everyone was was<br \/>01:04<br \/>getting on we&#8217;re we&#8217;re still learning<br \/>01:08<br \/>you know this this new era of doing<br \/>01:15<br \/>things you know broadcasting online had<br \/>01:22<br \/>a zoom meeting by Saturday several of<br \/>01:28<br \/>the Brethren got on it and just a way of<br \/>01:34<br \/>rather than trying to stay together and<br \/>01:38<br \/>hear from each other so if you don&#8217;t<br \/>01:44<br \/>know what a zoom meeting is it&#8217;s a<br \/>01:46<br \/>Versailles zoom app that many people can<br \/>01:52<br \/>get on it at the same time and they can<br \/>01:56<br \/>talk to each other<br \/>01:57<br \/>someone from how you use it on in the<br \/>02:02<br \/>Dominican Republic teaching and having<br \/>02:05<br \/>brother brother Green interpreting for<br \/>02:08<br \/>us and so it&#8217;s it&#8217;s a tool in our day<br \/>02:14<br \/>but it&#8217;s not something that we we&#8217;ve<br \/>02:17<br \/>used all that much but we&#8217;re learning to<br \/>02:19<br \/>use it during this coronavirus scare<br \/>02:23<br \/>that we&#8217;re experiencing anyway I&#8217;m<br \/>02:28<br \/>thankful that we&#8217;re back to having<br \/>02:30<br \/>services in our church and we are<br \/>02:32<br \/>practicing the spacing and you know<br \/>02:36<br \/>trying to be careful but it certainly<br \/>02:39<br \/>feels good to be back in church right<br \/>02:41<br \/>now on Sundays and this coming Sunday we<br \/>02:44<br \/>will have a Sunday morning Bible study<br \/>02:47<br \/>at 10 o&#8217;clock and I&#8217;m gonna have<br \/>02:49<br \/>breakfast at 9:30 but we will have<br \/>02:53<br \/>coffee and donuts and possibly some<br \/>02:58<br \/>juice of them exactly what the sisters<br \/>03:00<br \/>will have prepared there as far as<br \/>03:04<br \/>juicer we&#8217;ll have you anyway we&#8217;re<br \/>03:08<br \/>looking forward to that we will practice<br \/>03:11<br \/>spacing in the dining room with family<br \/>03:15<br \/>sitting together and then those that are<br \/>03:17<br \/>not in families and I think we have<br \/>03:19<br \/>enough nerve<br \/>03:20<br \/>that we can space from around our tables<br \/>03:25<br \/>and three or four people to the table at<br \/>03:27<br \/>the most and then you know I think we&#8217;ve<br \/>03:30<br \/>got enough tables we&#8217;re not going to<br \/>03:31<br \/>have regular Bible classes with the<br \/>03:34<br \/>youth for right now we&#8217;ll we&#8217;ll try to<br \/>03:39<br \/>refrain from that anyway it&#8217;s just good<br \/>03:42<br \/>to be with you this evening and I<br \/>03:45<br \/>thought I might mention something to you<br \/>03:47<br \/>I&#8217;ve been working on you know the<br \/>03:55<br \/>succession of prophetical events that<br \/>04:00<br \/>will have to take place before the end<br \/>04:01<br \/>of the world I&#8217;m pretty well went<br \/>04:04<br \/>through that it is on our website and<br \/>04:11<br \/>the painter saved it to YouTube and so<br \/>04:16<br \/>you can get on there and listen to those<br \/>04:20<br \/>those broadcasts that we had I have<br \/>04:22<br \/>asked for the painter if he can go back<br \/>04:24<br \/>and title them you know almost all of<br \/>04:28<br \/>them basically are that succession of<br \/>04:31<br \/>events that will need to take place in<br \/>04:36<br \/>that have been prophesied of before the<br \/>04:39<br \/>end of the Gentile world so they could<br \/>04:41<br \/>be labeled you know the same thing<br \/>04:44<br \/>part 1 part 2 and so forth anyway I hope<br \/>04:48<br \/>we&#8217;re hopefully getting you to get that<br \/>04:49<br \/>done for us where someone wants to go<br \/>04:53<br \/>back and go from the can<br \/>04:56<br \/>then I have talked a little bit about<br \/>04:59<br \/>the beginning with the letters to the<br \/>05:02<br \/>churches in Asia but I&#8217;m not going to<br \/>05:04<br \/>cover that tonight the first letters to<br \/>05:11<br \/>the church in Ephesus I thought I might<br \/>05:14<br \/>say something out of the book of Ephesus<br \/>05:17<br \/>tonight you know that letter was written<br \/>05:23<br \/>by the Apostle Paul in the early 60s ad<br \/>05:29<br \/>so it was several years before 80 70<br \/>05:32<br \/>however the clothes of that age was<br \/>05:37<br \/>coming upon them it&#8217;s possible that that<br \/>05:43<br \/>church started on Paul&#8217;s just short<br \/>05:48<br \/>visit there I believe it&#8217;s in the 18th<br \/>05:51<br \/>chapter of the book of Acts and possibly<br \/>05:57<br \/>Aquila Priscilla may have got bangs<br \/>06:01<br \/>started there after Paul was there just<br \/>06:03<br \/>for a short period of time<br \/>06:06<br \/>no Ephesus was a was a great place and<br \/>06:17<br \/>they&#8217;re just off the Aegean coast and it<br \/>06:24<br \/>was a very flourishing city I think<br \/>06:29<br \/>twice it was a capital of the of Asia<br \/>06:32<br \/>Minor and so it was a lucrative place<br \/>06:38<br \/>and Paul on his third missionary journey<br \/>06:42<br \/>there I think spent about three years<br \/>06:44<br \/>establishing the church and later<br \/>06:47<br \/>leaving Timothy as the bishop er as the<br \/>06:51<br \/>pastor there so it was a very prominent<br \/>06:55<br \/>work of the<br \/>06:57<br \/>also Paul and had great inroads into in<br \/>07:03<br \/>Dasia and minor so later of course after<br \/>07:11<br \/>Paul&#8217;s martyrdom John and Timothy of<br \/>07:19<br \/>course was the pastor there but John the<br \/>07:22<br \/>Apostle John took that work over later<br \/>07:25<br \/>became his home and were it said that<br \/>07:30<br \/>Jesus&#8217;s mother Mary was was also there<br \/>07:34<br \/>in Ephesus but the Apostle Paul wrote<br \/>07:40<br \/>just thinking about these scriptures in<br \/>07:44<br \/>in verse five and six one of the things<br \/>07:52<br \/>that&#8217;s been on my mind is the fact that<br \/>07:55<br \/>that early church was winding down in<br \/>08:01<br \/>the harvest that the Lord was was making<br \/>08:07<br \/>in the end of that world and so you know<br \/>08:17<br \/>I think we can glean some things and try<br \/>08:20<br \/>to get our mind working on you know the<br \/>08:23<br \/>very fact that that world was we saw<br \/>08:28<br \/>that early church that you know it was<br \/>08:31<br \/>established the harvest of souls that<br \/>08:35<br \/>were given a Sevenfold light or a<br \/>08:39<br \/>complete understanding of the purpose of<br \/>08:42<br \/>God and that actually reached into their<br \/>08:45<br \/>lives deep enough to to change them in<br \/>08:54<br \/>such a way you know and in the fifth<br \/>08:59<br \/>seal in the Book of Revelations the it<br \/>09:03<br \/>talks about those that souls that were<br \/>09:06<br \/>under the altar and how that white robes<br \/>09:09<br \/>were<br \/>09:10<br \/>and then in the seventh chapter talks<br \/>09:13<br \/>about this number of people to me<br \/>09:17<br \/>talking about the new earth people down<br \/>09:24<br \/>through the delay Nia millennium and<br \/>09:26<br \/>going on into eternity that they had<br \/>09:32<br \/>washed their robes and made them white<br \/>09:35<br \/>well we see in the book of Romans<br \/>09:40<br \/>you know Paul explaining how that our<br \/>09:45<br \/>father Abraham was counted righteous<br \/>09:50<br \/>righteousness was imputed to him because<br \/>09:53<br \/>of faith<br \/>09:53<br \/>he wasn&#8217;t righteous his faith was<br \/>09:59<br \/>counting unto him his righteousness he<br \/>10:03<br \/>nor even those of us that are striving<br \/>10:08<br \/>to in this work of the Lord we&#8217;re in the<br \/>10:14<br \/>process of washing our robes and making<br \/>10:17<br \/>them light however we&#8217;re like this group<br \/>10:19<br \/>in the fifth chapter of Revelations<br \/>10:28<br \/>excuse me in the sixth chapter and the<br \/>10:30<br \/>fifth seal that white robes were given<br \/>10:34<br \/>to them well they were they were martyrs<br \/>10:37<br \/>down through the dark ages and they were<br \/>10:44<br \/>counted righteous because of their faith<br \/>10:46<br \/>and their diligence to serve God under<br \/>10:49<br \/>great persecution and you know the Lord<br \/>10:55<br \/>wouldn&#8217;t take vengeance for them you<br \/>10:59<br \/>know remember they said to how long O<br \/>11:00<br \/>Lord holy and true this has not avenge<br \/>11:03<br \/>our blood God wasn&#8217;t going to judge<br \/>11:10<br \/>she&#8217;s not gonna judge the Gentile world<br \/>11:12<br \/>until the fullness of the Gentiles come<br \/>11:14<br \/>and he said they&#8217;d have to wait a little<br \/>11:17<br \/>season tether to their brothers with<br \/>11:23<br \/>suffer in the same way or be killed in<br \/>11:26<br \/>the same manner and so they God counted<br \/>11:35<br \/>them righteousness my point there just<br \/>11:39<br \/>they have a great resurrection in the<br \/>11:42<br \/>resurrection of the just and so just<br \/>11:48<br \/>like you and I if we&#8217;re diligent we<br \/>11:51<br \/>remain just that we&#8217;re just again is<br \/>11:55<br \/>synonymous with upright righteous<br \/>12:00<br \/>faithful wise those those are synonyms<br \/>12:11<br \/>that a saint or being holy those are all<br \/>12:18<br \/>you can link all those words together<br \/>12:20<br \/>with the just and white ropes are given<br \/>12:28<br \/>to us righteousness is imputed to us<br \/>12:31<br \/>when we&#8217;re living by faith and living<br \/>12:34<br \/>according to all that we know by faith<br \/>12:37<br \/>and serving the gore and the Lord while<br \/>12:40<br \/>we&#8217;re washing our ropes and making them<br \/>12:42<br \/>white in the blood of the Lamb we know<br \/>12:48<br \/>you know the red bloods not going to<br \/>12:52<br \/>wash you and make you white but it&#8217;s<br \/>12:54<br \/>just a picture that the blood of Jesus<br \/>12:57<br \/>are the the righteousness of Christ his<br \/>13:00<br \/>life that&#8217;s what the blood stands for<br \/>13:02<br \/>the Old Testament the sacrificial<br \/>13:06<br \/>offerings were off blood was offered up<br \/>13:11<br \/>of them to forgive sins and to sanctify<br \/>13:16<br \/>and that&#8217;s what made you white are<br \/>13:19<br \/>righteous in the eyes of the Lord that<br \/>13:23<br \/>that that was a type of Christ the work<br \/>13:26<br \/>of Christ<br \/>13:28<br \/>dying for our sins and becoming that<br \/>13:31<br \/>scapegoat<br \/>13:32<br \/>and so you and I are are blessed today<br \/>13:36<br \/>because we&#8217;re covered by the blood of<br \/>13:40<br \/>Jesus Christ or by his life is his<br \/>13:44<br \/>righteousness that there were life that<br \/>13:47<br \/>he lived and in the Holy Ghost and so<br \/>13:53<br \/>but where we&#8217;re working were laboring<br \/>13:58<br \/>far to be cleansed by the washing of the<br \/>14:05<br \/>water of the word and I was just<br \/>14:08<br \/>thinking of Paul in this fifth and sixth<br \/>14:14<br \/>chapter here where he was telling them<br \/>14:16<br \/>in the 16th verse or Ephesians 5<br \/>14:20<br \/>he said redeeming the time because the<br \/>14:23<br \/>days are evil back there in that<br \/>14:28<br \/>timeframe there was a lot of persecution<br \/>14:33<br \/>there was a lot of evil 33taking place in<br \/>14:35<br \/>that Roman world and the Christians were<br \/>14:40<br \/>suffering for it even like today we&#8217;re<br \/>14:44<br \/>not in the exact same place because they<br \/>14:46<br \/>were in a place where there was a<br \/>14:49<br \/>Sevenfold light and of a complete<br \/>14:52<br \/>understanding of the things of God and<br \/>14:56<br \/>the Lord&#8217;s coming was upon them in what<br \/>15:01<br \/>was called the day of the Lord and so he<br \/>15:07<br \/>was telling them to redeem the time and<br \/>15:11<br \/>but I think we ought to apply that to<br \/>15:14<br \/>ourselves today because you know time is<br \/>15:19<br \/>not certainly it is getting shorter and<br \/>15:22<br \/>we are headed into a the day of the Lord<br \/>15:27<br \/>and the restored Church but as we enter<br \/>15:31<br \/>into that we&#8217;re going to be somewhat in<br \/>15:33<br \/>similar place of these people that were<br \/>15:38<br \/>in the latter part of the early church<br \/>15:42<br \/>and as the as things were waning and the<br \/>15:46<br \/>church was nearing and falling away we<br \/>15:50<br \/>can see that as the church is restored<br \/>15:52<br \/>somebody said they came in the front<br \/>15:55<br \/>door we&#8217;re coming in the back door they<br \/>15:58<br \/>went out the back door but we&#8217;re coming<br \/>16:01<br \/>in the back door<br \/>16:03<br \/>and it&#8217;s so it&#8217;s different than the way<br \/>16:07<br \/>they started out on the day of Pentecost<br \/>16:10<br \/>with a bright light a full manifestation<br \/>16:15<br \/>of the Lord Jesus Christ and a Sevenfold<br \/>16:19<br \/>light a candlestick light a perfect<br \/>16:23<br \/>understanding of God&#8217;s Word was afforded<br \/>16:26<br \/>them by the post aaalac ministry back<br \/>16:29<br \/>there and so as the church is restored<br \/>16:34<br \/>will have that but we&#8217;re going to be in<br \/>16:36<br \/>a similar place as we as we enter in<br \/>16:42<br \/>we&#8217;ll be in somewhat of a similar place<br \/>16:45<br \/>so I&#8217;m considering some of these things<br \/>16:48<br \/>that I&#8217;m reading and Paul&#8217;s writings a<br \/>16:51<br \/>latter part of that work back there<br \/>16:55<br \/>he says we&#8217;re four verse 17 wherefore be<br \/>16:58<br \/>not unwise but understanding what the<br \/>17:02<br \/>will of the Lord is and be not drunk<br \/>17:06<br \/>with wine wherein is excess but be<br \/>17:08<br \/>filled with the spirit speaking to<br \/>17:13<br \/>yourselves in Psalms and hymns and<br \/>17:15<br \/>spiritual songs singing and making<br \/>17:17<br \/>melody in your heart to the Lord<br \/>17:20<br \/>giving thanks always for all things unto<br \/>17:23<br \/>God and the Father in the name of our<br \/>17:25<br \/>Lord Jesus Christ<br \/>17:28<br \/>[Music]<br \/>17:30<br \/>submitting verse 21 submitting<br \/>17:33<br \/>yourselves one to another in the fear of<br \/>17:35<br \/>God and then he he in making that<br \/>17:40<br \/>statement of submitting yourself<br \/>17:43<br \/>he enters right into just the natural<br \/>17:47<br \/>order that that the Lord has for a man<br \/>17:53<br \/>and his wife and his children and of<br \/>17:56<br \/>course he ends it up said this is a<br \/>17:58<br \/>great mystery but I&#8217;m talking about the<br \/>18:00<br \/>church I&#8217;ve often said that marriage is<br \/>18:06<br \/>a beautiful picture of our walk with<br \/>18:08<br \/>Christ the unity that were to have with<br \/>18:12<br \/>Christ we we are to be married and that<br \/>18:18<br \/>marriage is to be until death do us part<br \/>18:21<br \/>it&#8217;s to be a ongoing lifelong commitment<br \/>18:27<br \/>it&#8217;s a beautiful picture of our walk<br \/>18:30<br \/>with the Lord you know when you when you<br \/>18:33<br \/>get married you have to work you have to<br \/>18:40<br \/>work on your marriage you remember jesus<br \/>18:42<br \/>said that he was answering a question of<br \/>18:48<br \/>the scribes and Pharisees I believe when<br \/>18:50<br \/>he when they were asking him you know<br \/>18:54<br \/>about a man that a woman that had been<br \/>18:59<br \/>married a man he died and then married<br \/>19:01<br \/>to another man he died and they wonder<br \/>19:03<br \/>whose wife she gonna be in the<br \/>19:04<br \/>resurrection he said you do hear nothing<br \/>19:06<br \/>not knowing understanding the scriptures<br \/>19:09<br \/>and he said he told them that and and I<br \/>19:17<br \/>think also I may be thinking in the<br \/>19:20<br \/>scripture where Moses granted the right<br \/>19:27<br \/>for divorce but Jesus told them he said<br \/>19:30<br \/>it&#8217;s not it wasn&#8217;t so in the beginning a<br \/>19:34<br \/>man was to leave his mother and his<br \/>19:35<br \/>father and they too to be were to be<br \/>19:41<br \/>joined together and become one flesh now<br \/>19:46<br \/>those of us has been married a long time<br \/>19:48<br \/>I&#8217;ve been married I&#8217;ve been me and my<br \/>19:51<br \/>wife been together now fifty-fifty three<br \/>19:57<br \/>years I&#8217;ll say that we were right on the<br \/>20:01<br \/>verge of that but we&#8217;ve been we you know<br \/>20:03<br \/>we were courting in that long ago and<br \/>20:12<br \/>and you certainly have to work on a<br \/>20:16<br \/>marriage it doesn&#8217;t just work out you<br \/>20:21<br \/>know I&#8217;ve heard a few people my lifetime<br \/>20:24<br \/>then it made the statements I&#8217;m talked<br \/>20:26<br \/>about over people said me and my<br \/>20:28<br \/>husband&#8217;s never had an argument well I&#8217;m<br \/>20:33<br \/>not sure I can believe that because I<br \/>20:37<br \/>don&#8217;t know of anybody that come together<br \/>20:39<br \/>and don&#8217;t have to work on their<br \/>20:42<br \/>relationship you have to work on your<br \/>20:43<br \/>relationship with with Jesus Christ you<br \/>20:48<br \/>know you you have to work on<br \/>20:50<br \/>understanding the Lord understanding the<br \/>20:53<br \/>Lord&#8217;s ways and you know there&#8217;s many<br \/>20:57<br \/>many different pieces of the puzzle and<br \/>21:00<br \/>everyone&#8217;s mind that everyone&#8217;s putting<br \/>21:03<br \/>this this puzzle together concerning God<br \/>21:07<br \/>and God&#8217;s purpose not only overall for<br \/>21:11<br \/>all of creation but for each one of us<br \/>21:15<br \/>individually and it&#8217;s not something you<br \/>21:19<br \/>come by easily or no have a complete<br \/>21:23<br \/>understanding of it overnight and then<br \/>21:25<br \/>as you get to know the Lord you have to<br \/>21:27<br \/>learn his ways and and there&#8217;s some<br \/>21:30<br \/>things that the Lord does that we don&#8217;t<br \/>21:33<br \/>understand and we have to accept the<br \/>21:37<br \/>Lord&#8217;s working sometimes we get a<br \/>21:40<br \/>greater understanding as time goes on<br \/>21:42<br \/>sometimes we never understand the full<br \/>21:46<br \/>wisdom of God<br \/>21:47<br \/>because he has a foreknowledge that we<br \/>21:50<br \/>don&#8217;t have and so Trust comes into<br \/>21:54<br \/>effect but the Lord here is I mean John<br \/>21:58<br \/>I&#8217;m sorry the Apostle Paul is telling<br \/>22:01<br \/>them to submit themselves one to another<br \/>22:04<br \/>in the fear of the Lord and then he he<br \/>22:08<br \/>touches on some very basic principles<br \/>22:12<br \/>verse 22 says wives submit yourselves to<br \/>22:16<br \/>your own husband&#8217;s as unto the Lord for<br \/>22:20<br \/>the husband is the head of the wife even<br \/>22:23<br \/>as Christ as the head of the church and<br \/>22:25<br \/>he is savior of the body therefore as<br \/>22:30<br \/>the church is subject unto Christ so let<br \/>22:32<br \/>the wives be unto their own to their own<br \/>22:36<br \/>husbands and everything well you know<br \/>22:39<br \/>unless you get a balance to this you<br \/>22:42<br \/>know I mean if a man just goes off<br \/>22:44<br \/>saying you know well my wife has to obey<br \/>22:46<br \/>me she&#8217;s gotta listen to me on the head<br \/>22:48<br \/>and take that kind of attitude they&#8217;re<br \/>22:51<br \/>missing it all together because if you<br \/>22:55<br \/>look at the very next verse husbands<br \/>22:57<br \/>love your wives even as Christ also<br \/>23:00<br \/>loved the church and gave himself for it<br \/>23:04<br \/>that he might sanctify and cleanse it<br \/>23:06<br \/>with the washing of the water by the<br \/>23:08<br \/>word well so here he&#8217;s working on unity<br \/>23:17<br \/>he&#8217;s working hard to accomplish unity<br \/>23:20<br \/>but he&#8217;s working on each one of us in<br \/>23:26<br \/>the fear Lord remember he started this<br \/>23:29<br \/>off set submitting yourselves to one<br \/>23:31<br \/>another in the fear of the Lord in other<br \/>23:34<br \/>words you treat one another and he tells<br \/>23:38<br \/>which ones are to be the other to each<br \/>23:44<br \/>other and that we are to you know have<br \/>23:52<br \/>had the spirit of submission in the fear<br \/>23:56<br \/>of God that<br \/>23:58<br \/>you know I&#8217;m supposed to if if I&#8217;m in<br \/>24:02<br \/>charge of anything I&#8217;m supposed to have<br \/>24:04<br \/>the mind of the Lord I&#8217;m supposed to be<br \/>24:06<br \/>very careful in the fear of God that<br \/>24:09<br \/>that the Lord is watching me and and<br \/>24:13<br \/>that I&#8217;m supposed to be doing this as as<br \/>24:16<br \/>the Lord would do and then whoever I&#8217;m<br \/>24:19<br \/>submitting to that&#8217;s over me I&#8217;m<br \/>24:21<br \/>supposed to submit to them as unto the<br \/>24:24<br \/>Lord and so it&#8217;s a joint effort that&#8217;s<br \/>24:28<br \/>the way marriage is to gain unity even<br \/>24:32<br \/>with Christ as we&#8217;re striving to for the<br \/>24:38<br \/>Lord&#8217;s will purpose in our lives I<br \/>24:43<br \/>certainly don&#8217;t believe that the Lord is<br \/>24:45<br \/>just wanting to be someone&#8217;s boss and<br \/>24:50<br \/>they have ever been do everything his<br \/>24:52<br \/>way I just think he wants us to be wise<br \/>24:57<br \/>and righteous in all that we do and do<br \/>25:00<br \/>it like he would do it because that&#8217;s<br \/>25:01<br \/>how you do it it did it wise and<br \/>25:03<br \/>righteously yet at the same time we&#8217;re<br \/>25:09<br \/>all individuals and not Christ didn&#8217;t<br \/>25:14<br \/>expect us to do everything exactly like<br \/>25:16<br \/>he does it he just expects us to learn<br \/>25:20<br \/>the way to walk righteously and all that<br \/>25:24<br \/>we do and he doesn&#8217;t expect us to have<br \/>25:29<br \/>that achieved you know as a babe in<br \/>25:32<br \/>Christ many expect us to grow and<br \/>25:34<br \/>develop and get there and so well it is<br \/>25:42<br \/>true that you know that here&#8217;s a picture<br \/>25:46<br \/>in the church that you know if we&#8217;re<br \/>25:48<br \/>going to become a part of the Bride of<br \/>25:49<br \/>Christ that&#8217;s one of the allegories that<br \/>25:53<br \/>the Bible depicts of those that&#8217;s gonna<br \/>25:57<br \/>rule and reign with him they&#8217;re called a<br \/>25:59<br \/>Bride of Christ there&#8217;s a picture there<br \/>26:04<br \/>and that&#8217;s what Paul&#8217;s getting at is the<br \/>26:07<br \/>picture of Christ and the church<br \/>26:09<br \/>of learning the order of God you know<br \/>26:13<br \/>there is a scripture in the thirteenth<br \/>26:15<br \/>chapter no excuse me of Corinthians does<br \/>26:21<br \/>that in the eleventh chapter concerning<br \/>26:29<br \/>the order of God and so the you know the<br \/>26:37<br \/>Lord&#8217;s want us to to develop in a way<br \/>26:42<br \/>where it&#8217;s so different than than the<br \/>26:48<br \/>way man does things you know the the<br \/>26:55<br \/>Lord is so patient and he what he<br \/>27:01<br \/>requires is that we grow and develop<br \/>27:09<br \/>righteously and that this submitting<br \/>27:15<br \/>we&#8217;re talking about is a voluntary<br \/>27:18<br \/>submission it&#8217;s not something that can<br \/>27:21<br \/>be forever demanded dictated to are are<br \/>27:29<br \/>required it is required but it in other<br \/>27:34<br \/>words if if you&#8217;re having to make<br \/>27:36<br \/>someone like a child if he goes into<br \/>27:40<br \/>children obeying your parents here in<br \/>27:42<br \/>just a little while but he is showing<br \/>27:46<br \/>that<br \/>27:54<br \/>you you know in other words we do have<br \/>27:57<br \/>to start out serving God through some<br \/>28:00<br \/>commandments and the Lord may have to<br \/>28:03<br \/>chastise us to some extent he may<br \/>28:05<br \/>require he can wear his children he&#8217;s<br \/>28:08<br \/>got a right to chastise is he got a<br \/>28:10<br \/>right to deal with this if he loves us<br \/>28:12<br \/>he&#8217;s going to try to help us and it may<br \/>28:16<br \/>take chastisement at times however you<br \/>28:28<br \/>know God wants us to grow to a place to<br \/>28:31<br \/>where we have come to a place of<br \/>28:34<br \/>understanding of the order of God and<br \/>28:37<br \/>the righteousness of God in fact<br \/>28:39<br \/>eventually you shouldn&#8217;t need a tutor<br \/>28:42<br \/>he eventually shouldn&#8217;t need a teacher<br \/>28:45<br \/>it eventually shouldn&#8217;t need a minister<br \/>28:48<br \/>if he came up to the fullness of what<br \/>28:51<br \/>God&#8217;s ministry afford you with that you<br \/>28:58<br \/>come to a place that you&#8217;re your<br \/>29:02<br \/>submission to the Lord is is through<br \/>29:04<br \/>your knowledge and your growth to wisdom<br \/>29:08<br \/>and finally it&#8217;s worked righteousness<br \/>29:11<br \/>into you where you automatically have no<br \/>29:14<br \/>problem with understanding how to walk<br \/>29:19<br \/>with God and and walk in His<br \/>29:22<br \/>righteousness and do as well and so here<br \/>29:25<br \/>were Paul&#8217;s dealing with you know this<br \/>29:29<br \/>this submission you know and you can&#8217;t<br \/>29:37<br \/>compare it you can compare it somewhat<br \/>29:39<br \/>to two natural things in life just like<br \/>29:42<br \/>a job you can learn a job well enough<br \/>29:45<br \/>dear boss don&#8217;t have to tell you what to<br \/>29:46<br \/>do you know what to do you know<br \/>29:48<br \/>everything required of you and you can<br \/>29:50<br \/>do it and you can do it to the tee you<br \/>29:53<br \/>can you can grow in God that way where<br \/>29:56<br \/>righteousness is developed in you in<br \/>29:59<br \/>such a way that that you understand<br \/>30:05<br \/>walking and<br \/>30:07<br \/>business and it&#8217;s become a part of it&#8217;s<br \/>30:10<br \/>not something you have to do it&#8217;s<br \/>30:12<br \/>something that you do because it&#8217;s the<br \/>30:17<br \/>right thing to do<br \/>30:19<br \/>however I&#8217;ve said many times that God is<br \/>30:23<br \/>so unique in the way that he created us<br \/>30:27<br \/>as individuals I&#8217;ve often used this you<br \/>30:31<br \/>know the fingerprint how that every one<br \/>30:35<br \/>of us it&#8217;s amazing to me that there&#8217;s<br \/>30:37<br \/>not any two fingerprints like well<br \/>30:41<br \/>there&#8217;s not to any two individuals just<br \/>30:44<br \/>alike that&#8217;s why I like to use that<br \/>30:47<br \/>person in the 12 chapter the book of<br \/>30:49<br \/>revelation concerning those in the early<br \/>30:51<br \/>church that overcame it says by the word<br \/>30:54<br \/>of their testimony I use that over and<br \/>30:57<br \/>over just to remind the people that<br \/>31:01<br \/>nobody has your fingerprint and nobody<br \/>31:05<br \/>has your testimony you&#8217;re the only<br \/>31:10<br \/>person that has lived your life you&#8217;re<br \/>31:12<br \/>the only one that has your mind your<br \/>31:14<br \/>mind is developed through environment<br \/>31:17<br \/>experiences and knowledge understanding<br \/>31:21<br \/>that you&#8217;ve come to whether its natural<br \/>31:23<br \/>or whether it&#8217;s whether it&#8217;s godly and<br \/>31:29<br \/>of course we<br \/>31:34<br \/>understanding developed in the things of<br \/>31:37<br \/>God<br \/>31:38<br \/>so here the Apostle Paul he tells<br \/>31:45<br \/>husbands to love your wives even as<br \/>31:48<br \/>Christ also loved the church and gave<br \/>31:50<br \/>himself for it in other words we&#8217;re to<br \/>31:54<br \/>try to live a life where we&#8217;re we&#8217;re not<br \/>31:58<br \/>demanding but we&#8217;re trying to harmonize<br \/>32:02<br \/>and understand our place in our position<br \/>32:05<br \/>our responsibility to the Lord and under<br \/>32:11<br \/>righteousness and it says that he might<br \/>32:16<br \/>sanctify and cleanse it with the washing<br \/>32:18<br \/>of the water of the word that he might<br \/>32:20<br \/>present it to himself a glorious church<br \/>32:23<br \/>have not having spot or wrinkle or any<br \/>32:27<br \/>such thing no we&#8217;re just not there&#8217;s no<br \/>32:30<br \/>there is no sin there is no fault in us<br \/>32:34<br \/>when we reach this glorious place at<br \/>32:37<br \/>God&#8217;s asking us to submit ourselves in<br \/>32:43<br \/>while we develop without a blemish so<br \/>32:49<br \/>walk men see he&#8217;s showing this men are<br \/>32:53<br \/>to love their wives as their own bodies<br \/>32:55<br \/>he that loveth his wife loveth himself<br \/>32:57<br \/>for no man ever hated his own flesh but<br \/>33:01<br \/>nourishes and cherishes Lord the church<br \/>33:05<br \/>so all of what God puts us over where<br \/>33:11<br \/>whoever you are you know it doesn&#8217;t<br \/>33:15<br \/>matter if you&#8217;re you know a husband if<br \/>33:20<br \/>you&#8217;re a leader if you&#8217;re an elder and<br \/>33:22<br \/>you&#8217;re you know wife or over the<br \/>33:26<br \/>household the children and we all are to<br \/>33:34<br \/>cherish and<br \/>33:35<br \/>up in what God&#8217;s called us to for he<br \/>33:39<br \/>says we&#8217;re members of his body and of<br \/>33:43<br \/>his flesh and of his bones for this<br \/>33:44<br \/>cause shall a man leave his father and<br \/>33:47<br \/>mother and be joined unto his wife and<br \/>33:49<br \/>they too shall be one flesh this is a<br \/>33:55<br \/>great mystery but I speak concerning<br \/>33:56<br \/>Christ in the church<br \/>34:07<br \/>Dupre ends that up saying nevertheless<br \/>34:09<br \/>let every one of you in particular so<br \/>34:11<br \/>love his wife even as itself and the<br \/>34:16<br \/>wife see that she reverence her husband<br \/>34:18<br \/>of course he&#8217;s talking to jobs people<br \/>34:21<br \/>you can&#8217;t get this to work in an ungodly<br \/>34:24<br \/>family arm or a family were only one<br \/>34:28<br \/>person is serving God that&#8217;s a difficult<br \/>34:31<br \/>situation but this is God&#8217;s intent for<br \/>34:39<br \/>how the church is to grow together in<br \/>34:42<br \/>God&#8217;s order and how that a family is to<br \/>34:46<br \/>grow together in God&#8217;s order nanny says<br \/>34:49<br \/>children obey your parents in the Lord<br \/>34:50<br \/>for this is right honor thy father and<br \/>34:54<br \/>mother which is the first commandment<br \/>34:55<br \/>with promise that that it may be well<br \/>34:59<br \/>with them thou may&#8217;st live a long long<br \/>35:01<br \/>life well you know if children are<br \/>35:05<br \/>brought up correctly and learn obedience<br \/>35:07<br \/>and the young age and they learn how to<br \/>35:12<br \/>obey in school<br \/>35:15<br \/>they on the job things are gonna go well<br \/>35:19<br \/>with him if they learn how to be<br \/>35:21<br \/>faithful and obedient under those that<br \/>35:24<br \/>are over them even if they&#8217;re not godly<br \/>35:30<br \/>God can direct you in in places in life<br \/>35:34<br \/>were I remember one time I had a man<br \/>35:38<br \/>under my ministry he the Lord moved me<br \/>35:49<br \/>over 700 miles from the church I was<br \/>35:53<br \/>pastoring and believe it was seven<br \/>35:57<br \/>families that moved with me didn&#8217;t ask<br \/>36:01<br \/>them to have been really even wanted but<br \/>36:04<br \/>I couldn&#8217;t I couldn&#8217;t that&#8217;s what they<br \/>36:07<br \/>elected to do and I couldn&#8217;t deny that<br \/>36:09<br \/>they&#8217;d been faithful to me and so we<br \/>36:13<br \/>made a 700-mile move and started all<br \/>36:17<br \/>over another state and this one man<br \/>36:23<br \/>that&#8217;s very faithful to me he began to<br \/>36:26<br \/>look for a job he couldn&#8217;t find a job he<br \/>36:30<br \/>came to me one day I was I was painting<br \/>36:32<br \/>in a little town painting actually the<br \/>36:36<br \/>police station that was known back in<br \/>36:38<br \/>the back painting the back wall of that<br \/>36:41<br \/>building and he stopped by there he knew<br \/>36:44<br \/>where was mr. boomy said brother Smith<br \/>36:47<br \/>I&#8217;ve looked for jobs and nobody I<br \/>36:49<br \/>haven&#8217;t found a job I&#8217;m having a hard<br \/>36:52<br \/>time finding a job and he had a fairly<br \/>36:56<br \/>large family and I listened to him and I<br \/>37:01<br \/>said if you&#8217;ll do what I tell you you<br \/>37:05<br \/>gotta give you a job and you will be<br \/>37:08<br \/>successful<br \/>37:10<br \/>he said alright what I need to do I said<br \/>37:14<br \/>you get up in the morning and you get up<br \/>37:16<br \/>everyday then you can look for a job you<br \/>37:19<br \/>just start going to stores in different<br \/>37:21<br \/>places forever you feel that you could<br \/>37:25<br \/>possibly talk to somebody you go in<br \/>37:26<br \/>there and ask if they have any openings<br \/>37:28<br \/>an application for a job and I said the<br \/>37:32<br \/>first person that wants to hire me take<br \/>37:35<br \/>the job I don&#8217;t care if they&#8217;re paying<br \/>37:36<br \/>minimum wage he said I can&#8217;t live on<br \/>37:39<br \/>minimum wage I said I know but if you do<br \/>37:43<br \/>that and then you work for that person<br \/>37:46<br \/>like you&#8217;re working for the Lord you do<br \/>37:51<br \/>him a good job I said I guarantee you<br \/>37:54<br \/>you won&#8217;t work there no time that<br \/>37:56<br \/>somebody will recognize and see what<br \/>37:59<br \/>kind of employee you are and somebody<br \/>38:02<br \/>will offer you a better job he said I&#8217;m<br \/>38:07<br \/>gonna do what you said I said of course<br \/>38:11<br \/>I&#8217;m speaking someone in faith but I knew<br \/>38:14<br \/>in the natural I knew that what I was<br \/>38:17<br \/>saying was right but I needed the Lord&#8217;s<br \/>38:20<br \/>help to help him as well as quickly as<br \/>38:23<br \/>possible I mean he went the next day and<br \/>38:25<br \/>got a job making minimum wage but he did<br \/>38:31<br \/>what I said he gave he did a good job<br \/>38:33<br \/>and there was a man in that place that<br \/>38:36<br \/>saw him and and when he kind of got<br \/>38:39<br \/>along he asked he said<br \/>38:44<br \/>would you like to have a better job he<br \/>38:47<br \/>said would anybody like to have a better<br \/>38:50<br \/>job he said I&#8217;d like to and that got<br \/>38:55<br \/>higher making more money harder work he<br \/>39:02<br \/>went to work for that man he worked<br \/>39:06<br \/>there for a few months and then somebody<br \/>39:10<br \/>a door open for him and he was given a<br \/>39:15<br \/>better job which he worked there for<br \/>39:17<br \/>over 20 years and got a retirement there<br \/>39:20<br \/>and was eight he was the leading man of<br \/>39:24<br \/>all so it&#8217;s just because that he<br \/>39:28<br \/>followed these principles learning how<br \/>39:32<br \/>to be obedient you see he was an<br \/>39:34<br \/>obedient child and a godly father and<br \/>39:37<br \/>godly parents and they taught him<br \/>39:41<br \/>obedience and he obeyed and that caused<br \/>39:45<br \/>him to be successful<br \/>39:50<br \/>it works that way in the kingdom of<br \/>39:52<br \/>heaven the Lord takes notice the little<br \/>40:02<br \/>story of Ruth you know she was obedient<br \/>40:07<br \/>she obeyed now she saw the principles in<br \/>40:13<br \/>that family and she wanted what they had<br \/>40:17<br \/>and when she went back to Israel with<br \/>40:20<br \/>her to begin to clean in the field of<br \/>40:22<br \/>Boaz Naomi told her what to do and what<br \/>40:25<br \/>not to do and Boaz told her what to do<br \/>40:28<br \/>not today he told her don&#8217;t you going<br \/>40:29<br \/>any other fields you only clean and he&#8217;s<br \/>40:31<br \/>my you stay with my man in my harvest<br \/>40:36<br \/>and she was obedient and she was<br \/>40:39<br \/>faithful and he noticed her and that&#8217;s<br \/>40:44<br \/>the picture<br \/>40:46<br \/>yes gleaning in the field of God&#8217;s<br \/>40:53<br \/>harvest and dog you know you remember<br \/>40:57<br \/>what he told her you remember what he<br \/>40:59<br \/>told it he told her he said you you keep<br \/>41:02<br \/>gleaming in this field and he said when<br \/>41:04<br \/>you get thirst pieces I&#8217;ve charged my<br \/>41:06<br \/>young men not to but not to hurt you in<br \/>41:10<br \/>any way you get thirsty you come to the<br \/>41:12<br \/>water pots and get a drink that&#8217;s the<br \/>41:16<br \/>kind of church God&#8217;s building in the<br \/>41:18<br \/>true body of Jesus Christ he&#8217;s calling a<br \/>41:21<br \/>ministry that will not hurt will not<br \/>41:25<br \/>usurp but they&#8217;ll love their wives in<br \/>41:30<br \/>time the church just like Jesus loved<br \/>41:34<br \/>the church and you can get a drink you<br \/>41:38<br \/>can get blessed in the spirit anytime<br \/>41:41<br \/>there&#8217;s plenty of water plenty of the<br \/>41:44<br \/>Spirit of God and and then he told her<br \/>41:49<br \/>don&#8217;t go in any other fields she&#8217;ll baby<br \/>41:51<br \/>you know what he told us decide we purse<br \/>41:55<br \/>he said yeah the girl over he said kick<br \/>41:58<br \/>off a few handfuls off the wagon extra<br \/>42:02<br \/>for her and that&#8217;s what will happen to<br \/>42:05<br \/>you if you have that kind of spirit of<br \/>42:09<br \/>working learning the order of God and<br \/>42:12<br \/>working with God and those even<br \/>42:15<br \/>sometimes you know I can say this my<br \/>42:18<br \/>wife if she can be here beside me I<br \/>42:21<br \/>think she would attest to it I&#8217;ve never<br \/>42:25<br \/>disobeyed a pastor ever said under that<br \/>42:30<br \/>I&#8217;ve had pastors tell me to do things<br \/>42:32<br \/>that I knew they were wrong and I obeyed<br \/>42:34<br \/>them because they were greater men than<br \/>42:39<br \/>I was and they weren&#8217;t perfect to me<br \/>42:41<br \/>they made some mistakes but I was more<br \/>42:44<br \/>than willing to take the good I could<br \/>42:47<br \/>get from from what little mistakes they<br \/>42:50<br \/>might make<br \/>42:53<br \/>then that makes sense I can tell you I<br \/>42:59<br \/>never disobeyed I mean it was over me in<br \/>43:01<br \/>the Lord<br \/>43:02<br \/>I never caused the ruckus I never was<br \/>43:05<br \/>rebellious<br \/>43:07<br \/>I&#8217;m thankful somehow obedience was put<br \/>43:11<br \/>in my life at a young age I saw the<br \/>43:13<br \/>benefit in it I see the benefit of it<br \/>43:16<br \/>and keen in God&#8217;s kingdom Oh<br \/>43:21<br \/>mainly what I&#8217;m talking about here is<br \/>43:24<br \/>Jesus in the church I&#8217;m talking about<br \/>43:27<br \/>principles of how to get ahead the<br \/>43:31<br \/>kingdom of heaven Paul was trying to<br \/>43:36<br \/>give that church in emphasis you know<br \/>43:38<br \/>when John wrote him that last letter the<br \/>43:41<br \/>first of the seven letters in the Book<br \/>43:43<br \/>of Revelations<br \/>43:45<br \/>he started off I believe by saying I<br \/>43:48<br \/>know that works let me just just read<br \/>43:53<br \/>that to you real quick now close at this<br \/>43:55<br \/>table<br \/>44:07<br \/>it&#8217;s in the second chapter where first<br \/>44:13<br \/>words and second verse in his letter to<br \/>44:15<br \/>them said I know thy works I know your<br \/>44:18<br \/>deeds I know your behavior<br \/>44:21<br \/>I&#8217;ve watched you know we used to sing a<br \/>44:25<br \/>song there&#8217;s an all-seeing eye watching<br \/>44:28<br \/>you watching you well God&#8217;s eyes on<br \/>44:32<br \/>these children and by labor I&#8217;ve watched<br \/>44:39<br \/>your struggles and thy patience they<br \/>44:45<br \/>were going through many things at the<br \/>44:47<br \/>time John wrote that and how thou canst<br \/>44:51<br \/>not bear them that are evil you know you<br \/>44:55<br \/>can love you can grow so fond and in<br \/>44:58<br \/>love with righteousness that evil is<br \/>45:01<br \/>just a something you can&#8217;t heart it the<br \/>45:04<br \/>bear can&#8217;t understand to be around it<br \/>45:06<br \/>you just want to get away from it well<br \/>45:10<br \/>God God wants that in that church Miami<br \/>45:15<br \/>said under the great Apostle Paul for<br \/>45:17<br \/>three years and then Timothy which was<br \/>45:21<br \/>his son in the gospel and I would almost<br \/>45:23<br \/>say when when he saw Timothy work you<br \/>45:27<br \/>saw the Apostle Paul working that church<br \/>45:30<br \/>was highly blessed there&#8217;s me either<br \/>45:33<br \/>coming on the scene in this next<br \/>45:35<br \/>generation some even in this generation<br \/>45:38<br \/>that a great men of God that the people<br \/>45:41<br \/>of God are blessed to sit under and so<br \/>45:46<br \/>I&#8217;m thankful to be a part aren&#8217;t you<br \/>45:50<br \/>praise God<br \/>45:52<br \/>let&#8217;s let&#8217;s keep these principles in our<br \/>45:57<br \/>life you can you know one of the things<br \/>46:02<br \/>that he told that assistant in that<br \/>46:04<br \/>letter when he told him they&#8217;d left<br \/>46:06<br \/>their first love he told him they were<br \/>46:08<br \/>lukewarm to go do their first works over<br \/>46:12<br \/>we&#8217;ll see a relationship and in a<br \/>46:15<br \/>marriage or any relationship can&#8217;t go<br \/>46:17<br \/>cold it can get lukewarm and the Lord<br \/>46:23<br \/>told him he&#8217;s gonna speak him out of his<br \/>46:24<br \/>mouth they didn&#8217;t do something about it<br \/>46:28<br \/>you can you can destroy a relationship<br \/>46:31<br \/>you can let it get cold on you and it&#8217;s<br \/>46:37<br \/>something that we all have to work on<br \/>46:41<br \/>you know I was thinking about one of the<br \/>46:44<br \/>things thoughts that hit me to the CP<br \/>46:46<br \/>before we started this broadcast was<br \/>46:52<br \/>children my what an experience raising<br \/>46:55<br \/>children and here&#8217;s one of the things<br \/>46:58<br \/>about children they&#8217;re yours<br \/>47:00<br \/>for as long as you live I don&#8217;t care how<br \/>47:04<br \/>old they are they&#8217;re your kids their<br \/>47:08<br \/>problems are your problems but they do<br \/>47:13<br \/>grow up and they do become they become<br \/>47:24<br \/>individuals they have their own life boy<br \/>47:27<br \/>one of the hard things about parents is<br \/>47:29<br \/>when your kids kids we&#8217;re only start<br \/>47:31<br \/>doing things that you don&#8217;t want them to<br \/>47:33<br \/>do they want to move off somewheres and<br \/>47:37<br \/>the wild blue yonder and chase a dream<br \/>47:38<br \/>and it&#8217;s so hard to let them go what&#8217;s<br \/>47:43<br \/>so hard to lose that relationship you<br \/>47:45<br \/>know because they didn&#8217;t I mean when<br \/>47:47<br \/>kids get away from you it&#8217;s just hard to<br \/>47:49<br \/>maintain that and you gotta let them go<br \/>47:54<br \/>yeah oh you do sometimes is turn them<br \/>47:59<br \/>all to the Lord to say god they&#8217;re yours<br \/>48:04<br \/>I&#8217;ve give them to you I&#8217;m asking you to<br \/>48:07<br \/>watch over them and help them you&#8217;re<br \/>48:10<br \/>fortunate for you kept yours and able to<br \/>48:12<br \/>keep them close but most people don&#8217;t<br \/>48:15<br \/>aren&#8217;t able to keep them all around<br \/>48:18<br \/>it&#8217;s such a blessing when you can but<br \/>48:21<br \/>it&#8217;s not always possible and that<br \/>48:23<br \/>doesn&#8217;t mean that it&#8217;s always wrong you<br \/>48:28<br \/>know God loves all of his children and<br \/>48:31<br \/>no matter what we do that&#8217;s the thing I<br \/>48:34<br \/>was telling you about individuality your<br \/>48:37<br \/>testimony you can do wrong and I&#8217;m not<br \/>48:41<br \/>saying this this all wrong but I&#8217;d say<br \/>48:43<br \/>you can do something that&#8217;s not God&#8217;s<br \/>48:45<br \/>will and he&#8217;ll stick with you and he&#8217;ll<br \/>48:47<br \/>help you work it out in the aleph you<br \/>48:49<br \/>turned something that&#8217;s not so good into<br \/>48:51<br \/>something that&#8217;s great that&#8217;s the kind<br \/>48:54<br \/>of God we serve so you know if your<br \/>49:01<br \/>children aren&#8217;t done everything you want<br \/>49:02<br \/>them to do today just pray for them<br \/>49:04<br \/>especially if they&#8217;re growing and doing<br \/>49:08<br \/>what they feel is right and you have to<br \/>49:11<br \/>pray and trust them and you know kind of<br \/>49:16<br \/>give them counsel is that they won&#8217;t but<br \/>49:20<br \/>you always don&#8217;t always know that what<br \/>49:23<br \/>they&#8217;re doing it could be the hand of<br \/>49:25<br \/>the Lord on so you have to be fearful<br \/>49:27<br \/>you know submit yourself don&#8217;t one<br \/>49:30<br \/>another in the fear of the Lord<br \/>49:33<br \/>wow this is my faith anyway god bless<br \/>49:37<br
