02:56

03:00
good courage don’t be afraid I have
03:08
overcome the world he has overcome the
03:14
world john 16 john 16 it’s about christ
03:23
being the Risen God the Risen son of God
03:32
the reason son of god the son of god
03:36
john 20 31 but these are recorded so
03:41
that you may have faith that Jesus is
03:44
the Christ the Son of God and so that
03:49
having this fate you may have life in
03:52
his name Jesus the eternal son of God
04:05
Emmanuel God with us came into the world
04:12
in this context to reveal God in terms
04:17
of human life to reveal the purpose of
04:20
God in terms of human life as an example
04:24
of how to walk in the flow
04:28
with a human body and also also for God
04:34
so loved the world that He sent His only
04:38
begotten Son so that all who believe in
04:41
him might not perish but have eternal
04:43
life the purpose of God the revelation
04:49
of who God is and his purpose in human
04:53
life in our lives Jesus well many times
05:02
people see a child and say he’s just
05:05
like his father sometimes in a positive
05:09
way sometimes in a negative way but this
05:13
is the truth he is the same as his
05:18
father the rulers of the church of those
05:24
times knew what was meant when he said I
05:26
am the son of God making himself equal
05:32
to God and that’s why they tried to
05:36
stone him they said not for a good work
05:39
do we try to stone you but we try to
05:41
stone you because you have made yourself
05:44
equal to God Jesus John 16 warns us of
05:57
all the persecutions all the troubles
06:00
you will have in this life note that
06:03
Jesus was mostly persecuted by mm what
06:08
shall I say the ruling religious elite
06:11
yeah let me call it that trying to be
06:14
objective here the ruling religious
06:17
elite because the simplicity that he
06:22
brought the simplicity in doing things
06:24
without all sorts of religious how can
06:30
we call that ceremonies for all
06:35
ceremonies have ended in him in him is
06:39
eternal life in
06:41
him is the truth the light he is the
06:44
creator of the world through him all
06:47
things were made for him for his purpose
06:54
all the religious ceremonies all the
07:00
religious holidays of those times were
07:03
geared towards his coming but he was
07:06
there in him in him is the kingdom of
07:12
god john 16 is all well also the place
07:19
where he tells the disciples the promise
07:24
of the Spirit the filling of the Spirit
07:27
and a three-fold work of the holy spirit
07:30
Jesus talks about his death resurrection
07:33
and second coming the descending of the
07:46
Holy Spirit to men when she said I die
07:50
now but I must die so that I can go and
07:53
send the Holy Spirit it is what brings
08:02
us closer to God the feeling of the Holy
08:05
Spirit that which we pray for every day
08:09
for everyone who is in Christ do we
08:14
filled with overflowing do we fail with
08:21
overflowing with the Holy Spirit to
08:25
overflowing with the Holy Spirit he is
08:31
the companion of the true believer oh
08:34
there’s that word through again true the
08:38
true believer in every place and at all
08:41
times know the truth Jesus Christ
08:47
crucified salvation for all mankind the
08:51
true believer the one who follows christ
08:55
the true believer the one who looks up
08:58
and not what is going on down here as
09:02
guiding we all see what’s going on but
09:06
it doesn’t guide or lives all right to
09:15
the unbelievers those who don’t believe
09:18
whenever they encountered the Holy
09:20
Spirit or a holy spirit filled Christian
09:26
he reproves them he proves sin to them
09:33
because out of their mouths comes what’s
09:37
in their heart and they reject Jesus
09:40
Christ they say you say too much Jesus
09:43
there’s too much Jesus there’s other
09:45
things we have to do also we have to
09:49
come up with rules we have to teach
09:56
church politics none of these things
10:02
that Christ do and so coming in contact
10:11
with a bigger filling of the Holy Spirit
10:15
coming in the presence of the Lord in
10:18
the form of the Holy Spirit always
10:20
proves sin and warns of judgment and
10:30
some feel very uncomfortable at it but
10:38
to those who believe he is the constant
10:42
helper and a revealer the Holy Spirit is
10:46
a constant alper the comforter and a
10:49
revealer of the things in Christ the
10:53
things in Christ’s Holy Spirit John 16
10:59
but what I am saying is true my going is
11:03
for your good for if I do not go away
11:05
the helper will
11:08
not come to you but if I go I will send
11:11
him to you you see mankind has always
11:20
had God in the Old Testament they only
11:24
knew of God the unseeable untouchable
11:28
lon on the one that was above them in a
11:36
New Testament it starts with the gospel
11:38
of Christ he walked amongst men and
11:44
while he was with us while he was with
11:49
us well the Holy Spirit was not
11:59
accessible to everyone through all the
12:03
ages holy spirit filled men have been
12:07
here and then when he died and defeated
12:13
the world when he defeated the world he
12:16
went up to his throne and sent the holy
12:19
spirit to be with us until he comes
12:24
again so you see God has always been
12:28
available to all always always always
12:35
always
12:48
Jesus describes himself in John 15 as
12:52
the vine and the branches the vine and
12:57
we are his branches and its purpose is
13:00
to produce fruit is to produce more
13:03
people in Christ’s disciples
13:21
but we can only walk with Christ and
13:24
produce fruit if we are bad if we are in
13:27
him being me at all times as I am in you
13:32
as the branch is not able to give fruit
13:35
of itself you’re not able to give fruit
13:39
of yourself that is why he had to die
13:42
that’s why he had to go so that we might
13:44
receive the holy spirit in us have him
13:49
in us otherwise we’re not able to give
13:54
fruit as the branch is not able to get
13:58
fruit of itself if it is not still on
14:02
the vine rooted and grounded in Jesus so
14:08
you are so you are not able to do if you
14:12
are not in me he says John 15 verse 4
14:25
all these things he said all these
14:28
things so that we might know how it
14:35
works John 16 verse 13 however when he
14:41
the spirit of true knowledge has come he
14:43
will be your guide into all true
14:46
knowledge for his words will not come
14:50
from himself but whatever has come to
14:53
his hearing that he will say and he will
14:56
also make clear to you the things to
14:59
come he will give me glory the Holy
15:08
Spirit gives glory to Jesus because he
15:13
will take what is mine and make it clear
15:17
to you all things of the father have
15:21
been given to Jesus and so the Holy
15:28
Spirit takes what is of Jesus the things
15:33
of God and make them clear to you
15:55
blessed be o Lord John 1633 I have said
16:03
all these things to you so that in me
16:05
you may have peace in the world you have
16:08
trouble but take heart I have overcome
16:11
the world and that is what the comforter
16:14
does he shows you that Jesus overcame
16:18
the world and was resurrected and that
16:23
you now filled with that spirit have
16:26
that piece of knowing that whatever
16:29
happens in the world you will be
16:33
resurrected also you will be lifted up
16:37
also you will be taken up for he is the
16:41
first among the Previn the world
16:56
the world
17:03
have you ever stood still at what the
17:06
world is we call it the world and in the
17:10
Bible its describes as many descriptions
17:13
of the world but the world is always the
17:17
same it has never changed nothing really
17:20
ever changes it’s not the wicked people
17:25
people who we think of as doing evil
17:29
they’re just victims they’re just
17:32
holding onto fears and our under strong
17:36
man that make them do things that they
17:38
should not do because they’re not in
17:41
Christ they’re not part of that vine
17:47
they are not grafted into that fine it
17:53
is not Satan the world is not Satan
17:57
Satan is the Prince of the world he
18:03
holds hmmm he held power authority over
18:10
it he held authority over it but since
18:15
the Ascension of Christ he no longer has
18:18
authority but he still has some power
18:25
the world is a way of thinking the world
18:30
is the things you worship the things you
18:33
like it is a feeling it is a temper a
18:38
spirit a power energetic energetic
18:50
energetic zealous invisible the world
19:01
has been from the beginning and darkness
19:05
hovered over the waters in Genesis
19:12
and Jesus was the light and the darkness
19:20
could not overtake him and so that Holy
19:25
Spirit that he puts in us cannot be
19:28
overtaken by the world it makes it seem
19:34
as if it can but it can also make itself
19:37
seemed as an angel of light and then I’m
19:45
not only talking about Satan but Satan
19:48
his minions the demons all the things of
19:52
the world the lusts the desires the
19:55
pride pride the pride the pride poisons
20:02
everything around us the pride the world
20:10
as I see it is more of like something
20:14
that hinders you from getting to heaven
20:18
a distraction a distraction things that
20:24
take away your attention from the things
20:26
of God so that you might not pursue the
20:29
things of God but pursue the things of
20:31
the world and then time goes by and
20:35
you’re in the world the world like Satan
20:44
shows itself as an angel of light it
20:51
seems to be respectable it is supposed
20:58
to grow sin I mean people who murder
21:02
rape that sort of stuff they end up in
21:05
jail it tries to cultivate social
21:11
virtues social virtues prudence now I’m
21:20
mentioning things that
21:23
that in context are taken to be good
21:27
socially prudent wise wisdom the world
21:36
is wise and that’s why the word of the
21:40
Lord says that his wisdom is better than
21:47
the wisdom of the world that the wisdom
21:51
of the world is like foolishness to God
21:57
the world can show courage Saul Saul at
22:07
one time was courageous people followed
22:13
him because he was courageous it can
22:19
seem very religious pious
22:29
like a false apostles that are described
22:32
in the Epistle to the Corinthians the
22:39
world the world has this fantastic unity
22:47
of spirit which I don’t see ah the unity
22:56
of spirit agreement it is contagious the
23:04
spirit of the world goes over from man
23:08
to man by fun loving things or by pain
23:19
so we have to look at what is the
23:21
relation of our Lord of our Lord with
23:27
the generation of his day the word says
23:31
the world cannot receive my spirit the
23:37
world conspired to have him nailed on
23:39
the cross but it also said that they
23:44
didn’t know that all things work
23:46
together for the good of those who
23:51
believe in God and they didn’t know what
23:55
would happen when he died versus had
23:58
they known what would have happened that
24:00
they lost all authority they would have
24:04
never let him die and this is the thing
24:11
we are here for a little while and when
24:15
he comes in a little while we will be
24:18
taken up for true his death he triumphed
24:26
over the world to his a be of good cheer
24:33
be courageous I have overcome the world
24:41
so be a piece have peace in me the Peace
24:50
of Christ the Peace of Christ how can I
24:54
describe a piece of Christ the Peace of
24:58
Christ is knowing that he paid for all
25:02
sins is knowing that you have been
25:07
forgiven whenever you hear a word of the
25:12
Lord and you know your Holy Spirit film
25:15
that says that you’re doing something
25:17
wrong it is not the Word of God for the
25:22
Lord says that every prophecy that is of
25:25
God every message that comes from God
25:28
through his anointed ones brings peace
25:34
peace it is not for nothing that it is
25:39
written that faith comes by hearing of
25:42
the word the good news of Jesus Christ
25:45
because it brings peace we can never go
25:52
back and redo the things that we did
25:54
wrong but he took all those things upon
26:00
him all those things were laid upon him
26:03
and he took them to the cross and all
26:06
those things he paid for with his blood
26:13
giving us a clean and quiet conscience
26:18
there is nothing we have to pay for we
26:23
don’t have anything to pay for the
26:25
things that we did the things that we
26:28
did and some of the things that we did
26:32
are just things that we should have done
26:35
but did not to realize that so his peace
26:40
is knowing that we have been forgiven
26:43
through Christ through his blood through
26:47
the shedding of his blood which is the
26:51
love of God
26:53
because God knew that we were not able
26:56
to pay for all our transgressions of the
27:01
law so he sent his son so that all who
27:07
believe in him might not perish might
27:11
not have to pay but be forgiven and have
27:17
eternal life that is the piece that is
27:22
in Christ knowing that whatever you go
27:26
through you have that eternal life you
27:34
have that eternal life
27:42
so there you have to decide to take that
27:46
piece for the word says so that you may
27:51
have peace in me you have to be decided
27:57
you have to be decisive you have to make
28:00
a decision decision to accept that piece
28:09
you have to confess Christ confess him
28:14
to the world Jesus is Lord confess that
28:18
he is the one who saved you who paid for
28:20
all your transgressions and so he has
28:24
paid for everyone’s transgressions but
28:29
if they must accept him as their guiding
28:33
Lord and Master and to his work his work
28:44
I’m not talking of working like a
28:47
carpenter I’m talking about his work his
28:51
work is to give that piece to other
28:56
people His grace his grace he always
29:05
said oh your fate your fate has healed
29:08
you or your fate has brought you
29:11
salvation oh you have so so much weight
29:15
I have never seen so his work is to
29:19
increase me some of the people who came
29:21
to jesus said increase my faith Lord and
29:27
faith comes by hearing of the word by
29:31
hearing the good news the good news of
29:34
Jesus Christ that you have been forgiven
29:38
from your unpardonable sins so if God
29:45
has forgiven you and sent His only
29:48
begotten Son to pay for all your sins
29:52
you forgive yourself forgive others
29:56
forgive them and do the work of Christ
30:09
support the bringing of the Word of God
30:13
to the masses in whichever way you can
30:17
for this I know personally for certain
30:21
some people say oh we want to be
30:24
excellent we want to do it in a way that
30:26
the corporate world that the world
30:29
thinks of as good but light does not mix
30:34
with darkness a little leaven leavens
30:39
the whole loaf so now they don’t say
30:43
certain things they don’t do certain
30:45
things because the world thinks that
30:48
those things are not right now you’re
30:54
not being guided by Christ you say that
30:56
you are a church but you’re not being
30:57
guided by Christ and every man is a
31:00
church every man is a truth so be guided
31:07
by Christ speak of Christ to somebody
31:13
your wife your child your brother your
31:19
sister and you don’t have to be you
31:24
don’t have to be forceful idiot Jesus
31:28
his primary way of communicating with
31:32
those who were in the world was by
31:35
fellowshipping with them knowing who he
31:39
was not accepting their Levin over right
31:44
not taking over things from them not
31:47
taking over their wisdom but just
31:50
showing them hey this is the Peace of
31:53
Christ now I don’t agree with that but
31:56
you could see it like that you could
31:58
also see it this way build yourself up
32:01
so you may be able to do his work
32:09
at all times listen to his voice he’s
32:14
always here he always speaks the things
32:21
of the world also speak so you must
32:24
learn to discern discern and know that
32:31
the Word of God says that his word in
32:34
whatever form it comes brings peace
32:38
brings the knowledge that you have been
32:41
forgiven brings the knowledge that all
32:46
riches are in Christ brings the
32:48
knowledge that Christ has opened up the
32:52
storehouses in heaven now that you still
32:58
have to do this ritual or death ritual
33:00
now that you still have to do this or
33:02
death now that you have to read worldly
33:06
books now that you have to do worldly
33:09
things there is there is there is as
33:16
rich says there is that feeling of being
33:19
alone being alone but look the Lord has
33:26
cried has cried out and as called has
33:30
chosen a few of you so yes you might be
33:38
lonely yes you might have trouble in
33:42
this world you will have trouble but you
33:48
must change your focus from the world to
33:51
Christ for Christ said I will be alone
33:54
but God is with me and you must know
33:57
that even though you might feel alone
33:59
God is with you God is with you
34:10
let us pray Lord Jesus I pray that you
34:16
might enlighten everyone to know at all
34:19
times that God is with them that they
34:23
are part that they are a branch of your
34:27
fine that you alone you alone that you
34:31
alone overcame the whole world all of it
34:35
all of it then it has been utterly cast
34:40
down and that it tries to distract us
34:45
but that we have our eyes focused on you
34:49
Lord we thank you for guiding us for
34:55
speaking to us for helping us put a
35:02
strong block in our spirits to
35:05
everything that stops us from hearing
35:10
and following you Lord but a strong drop
35:14
blocking our spirits to any voice how
35:20
nice it may seem that is not of you lord
35:23
put an encouragement in or spirits to
35:27
only follow you Lord we worship You Lord
35:35
we know we know we know that a time is
35:46
