And 00:03:21.616 --> 00:03:23.660 today I’m going to provoke you a lot 00:03:23.066 --> 00:03:26.566 I am going to say something where you are 00:03:26.567 --> 00:03:30.066 going to say ‘wow what is this? But remember 00:03:30.077 --> 00:03:31.827 what do we build on? Do we 00:03:31.828 --> 00:03:33.577 build on our traditions 00:03:33.578 --> 00:03:37.077 or on the word of God but before I am going 00:03:38.008 --> 00:03:40.536 to take this teaching today and continue with 00:03:40.537 --> 00:03:43.064 some of the things we talked about last time 00:03:44.036 --> 00:03:47.067 I’m going to share some testimonies l love 00:03:47.068 --> 00:03:50.097 sharing testimonies of what God is doing and 00:03:50.097 --> 00:03:53.482 if you remember last time I spoke about how 00:03:53.483 --> 00:03:56.866 we share the gospel and I was sitting here 00:03:57.739 --> 00:04:01.239 with this table and I was showing how to share 00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.739 the gospel and it’s like God wants people 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.500 all over the world to repent he has commanded 00:04:08.501 --> 00:04:12.000 people to repent our job as disciples is to 00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:15.739 show them what it is all about to give them 00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:19.238 the clear gospel so they know what they need 00:04:19.418 --> 00:04:22.919 to do because as I show you last time if they 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:26.419 do what they are supposed to do God is going 00:04:26.719 --> 00:04:29.727 to move next time if they repent he is going 00:04:29.728 --> 00:04:32.735 to give them a new heart if they get baptised 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:34.892 in water he is going to set them free from 00:04:34.893 --> 00:04:36.905 their sins when we lay our hands on people 00:04:37.139 --> 00:04:39.658 and obey the word of God they are going to 00:04:39.659 --> 00:04:42.176 receive the Holy Spirit and I show you last 00:04:42.509 --> 00:04:46.009 time how I did it and I want to say this is 00:04:46.010 --> 00:04:49.509 like everything else it must not end just 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.139 with theology if you get theology out of my 00:04:54.140 --> 00:04:57.639 teaching you have failed and I have failed 00:04:59.058 --> 00:05:02.558 in teaching you because we need more than 00:05:02.559 --> 00:05:06.058 theology we need to get it into practice and 00:05:06.074 --> 00:05:09.574 for me when I started this with sharing the 00:05:09.575 --> 00:05:13.074 gospel and the way I do it in the beginning 00:05:14.819 --> 00:05:16.866 it was new for me also everything I’m teaching 00:05:16.867 --> 00:05:18.913 is new for me because I have to take my glasses 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:23.259 off myself but when God start to help me and 00:05:23.260 --> 00:05:26.759 set me free I started to walk in it and the 00:05:28.619 --> 00:05:32.119 more I walked in it the stronger it became 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.619 and often did I see things happen and since 00:05:35.969 --> 00:05:39.325 last time the last week I do this teaching 00:05:39.326 --> 00:05:42.680 every week, since last week I’ve seen two 00:05:42.068 --> 00:05:45.568 people saved when I did the same with the 00:05:45.569 --> 00:05:49.068 coffee table one was like four days ago there 00:05:50.189 --> 00:05:53.689 was a guy who seen a video to me and he wrote to 00:05:53.690 --> 00:05:57.189 me 17years old his parents is from a religious 00:06:00.219 --> 00:06:03.255 home but he doesn’t come anymore and he had 00:06:03.256 --> 00:06:06.291 not really experienced God and salvation 00:06:06.939 --> 00:06:10.439 and he wrote to me and we met at a coffee 00:06:10.440 --> 00:06:13.939 shop down in the city where I am and we were 00:06:14.149 --> 00:06:17.335 sitting there we were drinking coffee and 00:06:17.336 --> 00:06:20.520 I start to talk about Jesus and I ask him 00:06:20.052 --> 00:06:22.065 I if he had met God and he hadn’t and I 00:06:22.066 --> 00:06:24.077 talked with him about the gospel so after 00:06:24.077 --> 00:06:27.577 we drank coffee I did the same like I showed 00:06:27.578 --> 00:06:31.077 you just in a coffee shop and when we have 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.699 done that he saw that what he needed to do 00:06:35.700 --> 00:06:39.199 he saw that he needed to repent get baptised 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.486 and receive the Holy Spirit so we did, after 00:06:42.487 --> 00:06:45.533 that we went to a place where I could pray 00:06:46.379 --> 00:06:48.426 for him but we were in the city so I need 00:06:48.427 --> 00:06:50.472 to find a place where we could be alone so 00:06:51.309 --> 00:06:54.809 we find a parking garage where we went down 00:06:54.810 --> 00:06:58.309 in the basement and there were no cars there 00:06:58.539 --> 00:07:00.580 so we could be alone no people no cars, so 00:07:00.581 --> 00:07:02.620 down there in the basement in the parking 00:07:03.349 --> 00:07:05.852 garage in the middle of the city I prayed for 00:07:05.853 --> 00:07:08.355 him he repented, he experienced the Holy 00:07:08.409 --> 00:07:11.215 Spirit he got baptised with the Holy Spirit 00:07:11.216 --> 00:07:14.020 he started to speak in tongues and he was 00:07:14.002 --> 00:07:17.502 on fire afterward we went up again went to 00:07:17.503 --> 00:07:21.002 the city went out find some sick people and 00:07:21.629 --> 00:07:24.045 he prayed for a woman who got healed he prayed 00:07:24.046 --> 00:07:26.460 for a woman more got healed and there was 00:07:26.046 --> 00:07:28.146 one from Greenland who could not move their 00:07:28.147 --> 00:07:30.245 arm without pain and she got healed and her 00:07:30.659 --> 00:07:32.700 husband came and another came and she was 00:07:32.701 --> 00:07:34.741 standing and talking to them and explaining 00:07:35.479 --> 00:07:37.490 what was happening and suddenly there were a 00:07:37.491 --> 00:07:39.500 lot of people there and it was him who did 00:07:39.689 --> 00:07:41.737 it, he prayed for them afterwards I have to 00:07:41.738 --> 00:07:43.784 go to another place so I drive him to some 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.145 friends and he went out in the sea in Denmark 00:07:47.146 --> 00:07:49.650 and got baptised in water and it was really 00:07:49.749 --> 00:07:53.249 cold but he got baptised in water and this 00:07:53.250 --> 00:07:56.749 guy was changed and I said to him, you are 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.844 not living for yourself anymore you need to 00:07:59.845 --> 00:08:02.848 be bold you need to get out to many people 00:08:02.929 --> 00:08:05.965 so he went home and write on face book and 00:08:05.966 --> 00:08:09.001 I’m just going to read some of it this has 00:08:09.649 --> 00:08:13.149 been the most amazing day I met a man by the 00:08:13.150 --> 00:08:16.649 name of Torben and he has the website and 00:08:17.259 --> 00:08:19.803 he has talked about every believer can have a 00:08:19.804 --> 00:08:22.346 life with Jesus like the apostle did a life 00:08:23.129 --> 00:08:26.629 of miracles we started to talk and he explained 00:08:26.630 --> 00:08:30.129 to me all about it so he could make sure I 00:08:31.999 --> 00:08:35.315 was getting into and then we went to the parking 00:08:35.316 --> 00:08:38.630 garage and he prayed for me and I started 00:08:38.063 --> 00:08:41.082 to speak in tongues it felt so surreal and 00:08:41.082 --> 00:08:44.100 he continued telling about how people got 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.011 healed and all that happen in one hour God is 00:08:48.012 --> 00:08:51.021 great and he continues in how he got baptised 00:08:51.021 --> 00:08:54.045 and it was cold but he got baptised and then he 00:08:54.046 --> 00:08:57.068 ended up with the reason I write this testimony 00:08:57.068 --> 00:09:00.568 is that God wants more for us than just coming 00:09:00.569 --> 00:09:04.068 in church and going to meetings he wants to 00:09:06.043 --> 00:09:09.056 give us a life with miracles and healing if 00:09:09.057 --> 00:09:12.068 there is anybody out there who wants that 00:09:12.068 --> 00:09:15.568 please contact me and this is what God is 00:09:15.569 --> 00:09:19.068 doing a few days ago I met this guy sitting 00:09:19.087 --> 00:09:22.089 down going through the gospel I didn’t pray 00:09:22.090 --> 00:09:25.091 ask Jesus into your heart I pray with him 00:09:25.091 --> 00:09:27.119 he repented he got baptised in water he got 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:29.146 baptised with the Holy Spirit and he got on 00:09:30.046 --> 00:09:33.546 fire he went home and shared on Facebook this 00:09:33.547 --> 00:09:37.046 two days later there was a girl who contacted 00:09:40.021 --> 00:09:43.032 me who had seen this on his Facebook 17 years 00:09:43.033 --> 00:09:46.043 old also from a religious background but live 00:09:46.043 --> 00:09:48.551 in sin don’t know God and many things is 00:09:48.552 --> 00:09:51.059 new who have never heard about speaking in 00:09:51.059 --> 00:09:54.559 tongues and those things so I met with her 00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:58.059 on burger king so we were sitting on burger 00:09:58.063 --> 00:10:01.090 king we were talking again I shared the gospel 00:10:01.091 --> 00:10:04.117 this time with burger paper and cups and things 00:10:05.017 --> 00:10:07.535 and I shared the gospel like I did in the 00:10:07.536 --> 00:10:10.053 video after I shared the gospel she was ready 00:10:10.053 --> 00:10:12.584 to repent so I had to find a place where I 00:10:12.585 --> 00:10:15.115 could pray for her so just beside the burger 00:10:16.015 --> 00:10:19.515 king there was a building being built but not 00:10:19.516 --> 00:10:23.015 finished so we could go in that building 00:10:24.058 --> 00:10:26.589 because it was empty and we went in there and 00:10:26.590 --> 00:10:29.119 I prayed for her the Holy Spirit touched 00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:33.058 her I got a prophetic word to her about a 00:10:33.059 --> 00:10:36.096 snake I saw like a snake that was crawling 00:10:36.096 --> 00:10:39.596 and it was her life and suddenly I saw the 00:10:39.597 --> 00:10:43.096 snake coming out of the ground then it got 00:10:45.096 --> 00:10:47.597 wings and was flying away and how God want 00:10:47.598 --> 00:10:50.098 to set her free and take her out of what she 00:10:50.098 --> 00:10:53.125 had been crawling in and when I got that verse 00:10:53.126 --> 00:10:56.152 she was crying and crying and I prayed and 00:10:57.052 --> 00:10:59.567 she got set free from a demon there was something 00:10:59.568 --> 00:11:02.081 that left her and she told me afterward that 00:11:02.081 --> 00:11:05.581 there was a lump coming up in her throat and 00:11:05.582 --> 00:11:09.081 then it went out and she felt so free so she 00:11:10.091 --> 00:11:12.641 was changed then we went to a shop nearby 00:11:12.642 --> 00:11:15.190 find a sick person she prayed for the first 00:11:16.009 --> 00:11:18.526 sick person who got healed then she invite 00:11:18.527 --> 00:11:21.042 me to her house I went there I prayed for 00:11:22.023 --> 00:11:24.539 her mother who got healed I prayed for one more 00:11:24.540 --> 00:11:27.054 who experienced something and I was sitting 00:11:27.054 --> 00:11:29.572 with the family, the mother invited me back 00:11:29.573 --> 00:11:32.090 again because they want to hear more then 00:11:32.009 --> 00:11:34.510 I took her to some friends I know who have a 00:11:34.511 --> 00:11:37.010 bathtub and I asked them if we could baptise 00:11:37.091 --> 00:11:39.597 her there because it was really cold that day 00:11:39.598 --> 00:11:42.103 also and we did that so she got baptised 00:11:43.003 --> 00:11:45.007 in the bathtub and when she came up she laid 00:11:45.008 --> 00:11:47.011 her hands on her and she got baptised with 00:11:47.083 --> 00:11:49.595 the Holy Spirit and she started to speak in 00:11:49.596 --> 00:11:52.107 tongues and she was totally changed what I 00:11:53.007 --> 00:11:56.507 tell you here is should be everyday life this is 00:11:56.508 --> 00:12:00.007 what he

Amen 00:16:27.081 --> 00:16:29.629 I want to ask you a question you are a Christian 00:16:29.630 --> 00:16:32.177 I believe that I am talking to you now as 00:16:33.077 --> 00:16:36.577 a Christian do you look at yourself as a saint? 00:16:36.578 --> 00:16:40.077 Are we saints as Christians? Or are we sinners? 00:16:46.069 --> 00:16:48.105 How do you look at the Christians? How do 00:16:48.106 --> 00:16:50.140 you look at your own life? Are you a saint? 00:16:51.004 --> 00:16:54.504 Or a sinner? Are we saints or are we sinners? 00:16:54.505 --> 00:16:58.004 And this is really important that we have 00:17:00.004 --> 00:17:03.114 the right answer for this and I have been 00:17:03.115 --> 00:17:06.223 surprised when I’ve been looking at this 00:17:06.259 --> 00:17:08.009 how much we have been 00:17:08.010 --> 00:17:09.759 influenced by our traditions 00:17:09.760 --> 00:17:13.259 our glasses because if I in Denmark ask people 00:17:23.377 --> 00:17:26.049 if they are saints or if they are sinners? 00:17:26.050 --> 00:17:28.720 And we are talking about asking Christians 00:17:28.070 --> 00:17:31.572 in the church almost everybody in Denmark 00:17:31.573 --> 00:17:35.072 will say ‘we are sinners!’ Sinners saved 00:17:36.369 --> 00:17:39.869 by grace! Almost none in Denmark will say 00:17:39.870 --> 00:17:43.369 we are saints because we are like ‘saints! 00:17:47.409 --> 00:17:50.909 No, no, are you without sin? Who do you think 00:17:50.910 --> 00:17:54.409 we are and you are? And it is almost as if 00:17:54.006 --> 00:17:57.356 there is a fear when we talk about the whole 00:17:57.357 --> 00:18:00.705 part of being a saint no, we are sinners saved 00:18:01.299 --> 00:18:04.799 by grace we are sinners every one of us. And 00:18:04.800 --> 00:18:08.299 I had some real discussion with people about 00:18:08.549 --> 00:18:12.049 this and for me one thing that helped me to 00:18:12.050 --> 00:18:15.549 take my glasses off is to travel and to know 00:18:18.049 --> 00:18:20.086 other people from other places in the world 00:18:20.087 --> 00:18:22.123 I have my friend don from America working 00:18:22.789 --> 00:18:26.289 with the last reformation in USA and for me to 00:18:26.290 --> 00:18:29.789 talk with him is so interesting I am learning 00:18:31.047 --> 00:18:34.065 a lot from him and he is learning a lot from 00:18:34.066 --> 00:18:37.082 me because this is two world views that is 00:18:37.082 --> 00:18:40.582 coming together and when I called him and 00:18:40.583 --> 00:18:44.082 said don are we saints or are we sinners? 00:18:45.299 --> 00:18:48.245 He said we are saints, of course we are saints, 00:18:48.246 --> 00:18:51.190 we were sinners but we got saved now we are 00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:54.519 saints and where he is living and in his area 00:18:54.520 --> 00:18:58.019 and in the churches he work with use the word 00:19:02.021 --> 00:19:05.028 saints and in a big part of America use the word saints. 00:19:05.029 --> 00:19:08.035 There are other places again 00:19:08.035 --> 00:19:10.820 in other churches denominations 00:19:10.821 --> 00:19:13.604 of course in America use sinners. 00:19:13.919 --> 00:19:17.419 But I see a really clear pattern when we talk 00:19:17.420 --> 00:19:20.919 about those words where I see that what the 00:19:24.249 --> 00:19:27.749 catholic church and the reformation is strong 00:19:27.750 --> 00:19:31.249 and in America the reformation is the reformed 00:19:32.008 --> 00:19:35.508 church and the Calvinistic and so on, where 00:19:35.509 --> 00:19:39.008 they are strong each other denomination somehow 00:19:41.011 --> 00:19:44.511 lead to we are sinners of course we are sinners 00:19:44.512 --> 00:19:48.011 but where they are not strong where we see 00:19:48.097 --> 00:19:50.702 like a movement of Pentecostal church and 00:19:50.703 --> 00:19:53.306 other they are more free believe no we are 00:19:54.179 --> 00:19:57.679 saints. So I see it’s not just being a Baptist 00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:01.179 or Methodist or Pentecost who somehow create 00:20:07.047 --> 00:20:10.547 a view of if we are saints or sinners because 00:20:10.548 --> 00:20:14.047 a Pentecost in Denmark with a very strong 00:20:15.789 --> 00:20:19.289 Lutheran background have a different view in 00:20:19.290 --> 00:20:22.789 a Pentecost in another country where they 00:20:24.007 --> 00:20:27.507 don’t have a Lutheran or catholic background so 00:20:27.508 --> 00:20:31.007 every church is not only impacted by themselves 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.375 everybody’s impacted by the reformation the 00:20:36.376 --> 00:20:39.470 Lutheran church who is impacted by the 00:20:39.047 --> 00:20:41.554 catholic church. And it is very 00:20:41.555 --> 00:20:44.061 interesting when you look at 00:20:44.061 --> 00:20:47.561 this because for me growing up in Denmark if 00:20:47.562 --> 00:20:51.061 I ask question in Denmark everybody would 00:20:55.048 --> 00:20:58.083 know we are sinners we are sinners we are 00:20:58.084 --> 00:21:01.117 sinners we are sinners but then if you go 00:21:01.549 --> 00:21:03.280 out then of the little box 00:21:03.281 --> 00:21:05.010 here in the Scandinavian 00:21:05.011 --> 00:21:08.470 country in the north Europe for example and 00:21:08.047 --> 00:21:11.507 go out, out of this box and go to other places 00:21:11.508 --> 00:21:14.966 they are without these glasses, maybe they 00:21:15.389 --> 00:21:18.428 have other glasses maybe they don’t but 00:21:18.429 --> 00:21:21.466 they say no, no, no, no, no we are saints 00:21:22.159 --> 00:21:25.659 so I want to say that everybody around you 00:21:25.660 --> 00:21:29.159 believe in one thing don’t make it right 00:21:32.379 --> 00:21:35.365 because everybody around you can be wrong because 00:21:35.366 --> 00:21:38.350 they are building on the wrong foundation 00:21:38.035 --> 00:21:40.047 the catholic church the Lutheran church instead 00:21:40.048 --> 00:21:42.059 of what the word is saying and we are going 00:21:42.059 --> 00:21:45.559 to look at the word very soon in Denmark, 00:21:45.560 --> 00:21:49.059 there are people in Denmark who are like no 00:21:49.909 --> 00:21:52.990 we are sinners, every Christian is like we 00:21:52.991 --> 00:21:56.070 are sinners and to say we are saints is like 00:21:56.007 --> 00:21:58.528 no’ this is too holy it’s too 00:21:58.529 --> 00:22:01.048 much to say you are a saint. 00:22:01.048 --> 00:22:04.548 And I thought do people in America say like 00:22:04.549 --> 00:22:08.048 hey we are saints because they don’t know 00:22:09.629 --> 00:22:12.663 what the word is all about for example in 00:22:12.664 --> 00:22:15.697 Denmark I say I love you in Denmark if I say 00:22:16.309 --> 00:22:18.812 it in Danish I’m now going to learn you 00:22:18.813 --> 00:22:21.314 some Danish words I love you in Danish is 00:22:21.809 --> 00:22:25.309 yi elskidie and for me if I say to somebody 00:22:25.310 --> 00:22:28.809 in Danish I love you yi el skedai this is 00:22:33.899 --> 00:22:37.399 a little hard because you really mean it so you 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:40.899 don’t just go and use the word to somebody 00:22:41.159 --> 00:22:44.659 yea but we in Denmark is very fast to use 00:22:44.660 --> 00:22:48.159 the English expression, word ‘I love you’ 00:22:48.489 --> 00:22:51.989 ‘I love you too’ but us as a Danish person 00:22:51.990 --> 00:22:55.489 it is easier to say I love you in English 00:22:56.509 --> 00:22:59.485 than it is in Danish because it is just a 00:22:59.486 --> 00:23:02.460 word, we have seen in TV we have heard it 00:23:02.046 --> 00:23:05.201 in songs in music everybody o I love you we 00:23:05.202 --> 00:23:08.355 just use the words and maybe it’s like that 00:23:08.769 --> 00:23:11.295 with ‘saints’ I started to think about that 00:23:11.296 --> 00:23:13.820 maybe it’s that people in America just 00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:17.281 hey we are saints they just use it ‘yes he 00:23:17.282 --> 00:23:20.282 is a saint’ but if you go to people with 00:23:20.309 --> 00:23:23.809 a catholic background ‘like saints’ no no saints? 00:23:23.810 --> 00:23:27.309 To become a saint the pope have 00:23:27.082 --> 00:23:30.582 to make you a saint a saint is only a few 00:23:30.583 --> 00:23:34.082 people who is something special and this is 00:23:38.009 --> 00:23:41.509 so interesting if we look at two things the 00:23:41.510 --> 00:23:45.009 word has been changed like if we take the 00:23:46.083 --> 00:23:48.590 word Christian everybody uses the word Christian 00:23:48.591 --> 00:23:51.096 today but if we know that the word Christian 00:23:51.096 --> 00:23:54.076 means comes from the word little Christ if 00:23:54.077 --> 00:23:57.055 we look like Jesus Christ maybe people will 00:23:57.919 --> 00:24:01.419 not just use the word. But what is a saint? 00:24:01.420 --> 00:24:04.919 A saint the bible says also holy people are 00:24:09.149 --> 00:24:12.649 you holy? Or are you a sinner and I want to 00:24:12.650 --> 00:24:16.149 use the word holy now instead because for 00:24:16.749 --> 00:24:19.757 you now who live in America the word saint 00:24:19.758 --> 00:24:22.765 has been misused and that’s why I used the 00:24:22.909 --> 00:24:26.409 word holy people and sinners but the question 00:24:26.410 --> 00:24:29.909 now what are we? What are you? Are you a holy 00:24:32.045 --> 00:24:35.545 person? Or are you a sinner? Let’s see what the 00:24:35.546 --> 00:24:39.045 bible says about it if I look at the bible 00:24:42.058 --> 00:24:44.403 and the bible says the saints are holy people 00:24:44.404 --> 00:24:46.747 you can find for example in the book of acts 00:24:47.269 --> 00:24:50.769 in two places we read that your holy people 00:24:50.770 --> 00:24:54.269 in Jerusalem so the book of acts this is Luke 00:24:54.639 --> 00:24:56.375 who wrote the book of acts 00:24:56.376 --> 00:24:58.110 and about the Christians 00:24:58.111 --> 00:25:01.580 the disciples he use the word holy people 00:25:01.058 --> 00:25:04.558 another place in the same chapter the holy 00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:08.058 ones who live in Luther so here we see Luke 00:25:09.007 --> 00:25:12.167 who wrote the book of acts is using the word 00:25:12.168 --> 00:25:15.326 saints or holy people about the Christians 00:25:16.019 --> 00:25:19.235 but what about the rest of the bible? Was 00:25:19.236 --> 00:25:22.450 it only in the book of acts no it’s not 00:25:22.045 --> 00:25:25.545 and you are going to see now almost every 00:25:25.546 --> 00:25:29.045 letter in the book in the bible starts with 00:25:29.098 --> 00:25:32.598 and we are going to see three letters we have 00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:36.098 here Ephesians to Gods holy people in Ephesus, 00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:40.799 Philippians, to all Gods holy people in Christ 00:25:40.800 --> 00:25:44.299 Jesus in Philippi, Colossians to Gods holy 00:25:44.869 --> 00:25:48.369 people in colossi, so here we read that Paul 00:25:48.370 --> 00:25:51.869 is starting his letters to the holy people 00:25:55.299 --> 00:25:58.799 in this city to the holy people in this to 00:25:58.800 --> 00:26:02.299 the holy people in this, what is interesting 00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:06.259 is if you go to the book of acts and through 00:26:06.260 --> 00:26:09.759 the bible the new testament you will always 00:26:11.289 --> 00:26:14.789 see that they called the Christians holy people 00:26:14.790 --> 00:26:18.289 the saints the holy people there the holy 00:26:22.085 --> 00:26:24.745 people there the holy people the holy people 00:26:24.746 --> 00:26:27.404 the holy people, if you go to the book of 00:26:28.169 --> 00:26:31.669 acts bible new testament and see how many 00:26:31.670 --> 00:26:35.169 places the Christians the disciples God called 00:26:36.929 --> 00:26:40.429 the holy people you will see it so many times 00:26:40.430 --> 00:26:43.929 I’ve counted about 43 44 times in the bible 00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:51.059 you see that they were called the holy people 00:26:51.060 --> 00:26:54.559 the saints for over 40 times you see that 00:26:57.045 --> 00:27:00.545 do you know how many times in the bible the 00:27:00.546 --> 00:27:02.296 Christians was called sinners? 00:27:02.297 --> 00:27:04.045 None! The Christians 00:27:10.083 --> 00:27:13.583 were never called a sinner in the bible never, 00:27:13.584 --> 00:27:17.083 never, never, never! And again do we have 00:27:21.679 --> 00:27:25.179 many churches many minds that’s today where 00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:28.679 we think is holy to call ourselves sinners, 00:27:30.044 --> 00:27:33.544 we are sinners saved by grace and if I look 00:27:33.545 --> 00:27:37.044 in a country like Denmark and Scandinavia 00:27:37.679 --> 00:27:41.179 country where I have grown up if I said 00:27:41.180 --> 00:27:44.679 to people we are a holy people ‘o’ no oo 00:27:44.889 --> 00:27:48.389 it is almost a sin to call yourself a holy 00:27:48.390 --> 00:27:51.889 people because we are sinners, sinners, sinners 00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:57.619 and this is so much a part of our mind set in 00:27:57.620 --> 00:28:01.119 Denmark no matter if it is a Baptist Methodist 00:28:05.419 --> 00:28:08.919 Pentecostal no matter what denomination in 00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:12.419 Denmark we think we are sinners, sinners, 00:28:12.609 --> 00:28:16.109 sinners, sinners, also after we got saved why 00:28:16.110 --> 00:28:19.609 do we think that? Because every denomination 00:28:21.399 --> 00:28:24.404 in Denmark and also where you are living is 00:28:24.405 --> 00:28:27.408 building on the same foundation the foundation 00:28:27.489 --> 00:28:30.989 is the catholic church and the Lutheran church 00:28:30.990 --> 00:28:34.489 because it was where this came in we are sinners 00:28:38.149 --> 00:28:41.153 we are sinners we are sinners and there is 00:28:41.154 --> 00:28:44.157 one truth in that the truth is that people 00:28:44.229 --> 00:28:47.729 are sinners and need salvation but when you 00:28:47.730 --> 00:28:51.229 repent when you get saved you are not any 00:28:56.609 --> 00:29:00.109 more a sinner. Because a new 00:29:00.110 --> 00:29:03.609 life has started inside of you 00:29:04.769 --> 00:29:07.277 but to be honest I believe and you are going 00:29:07.278 --> 00:29:09.785 to see that today and next time the problem 00:29:09.929 --> 00:29:13.429 here is that they didn’t see the new life 00:29:13.430 --> 00:29:16.929 started people continued being sinners also 00:29:18.069 --> 00:29:19.819 after they got saved because 00:29:19.820 --> 00:29:21.569 they do not understand 00:29:21.570 --> 00:29:25.069 the true gospel so if you go to the book of 00:29:27.069 --> 00:29:30.059 acts to the first Christians and say hello 00:29:30.060 --> 00:29:33.048 I’m a sinner they will share the word with 00:29:33.669 --> 00:29:36.505 you and want you to repent and get saved if 00:29:36.506 --> 00:29:39.340 you then say you are a saved sinner they will 00:29:39.034 --> 00:29:42.534 look at you like are you crazy? You cannot 00:29:42.535 --> 00:29:46.034 be a saved sinner because to get saved is 00:29:47.869 --> 00:29:50.404 to get rid of your sin. So you are 00:29:50.405 --> 00:29:52.938 not a sinner anymore we read about 00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:57.059 saved from what save from our sin Jesus is 00:29:57.060 --> 00:30:00.559 called Jesus and he saved his people from 00:30:01.739 --> 00:30:05.239 their sin, he should not save them in their 00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:08.739 sins he should save them from their sin if 00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:15.779 we think we are saved in our sin we can continue 00:30:15.780 --> 00:30:19.279 being sinners and being saved sinners and 00:30:19.097 --> 00:30:21.628 this is a mind-set that is just wrong you 00:30:21.629 --> 00:30:24.159 don’t find that in the word of God no we 00:30:25.059 --> 00:30:28.559 are saved from our sin so we were sinners but 00:30:28.560 --> 00:30:32.059 now we are holy people I want to say that 00:30:34.429 --> 00:30:37.929 holy people don’t mean perfect in any way 00:30:37.930 --> 00:30:41.429 so we don’t, are not able to experience 00:30:43.499 --> 00:30:46.999 that we fall in sin people can be holy people 00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:50.499 and still fight, the word of God write to 00:30:50.058 --> 00:30:52.473 the Corinthians and there was a lot of problem 00:30:52.474 --> 00:30:54.887 in that church in Corinthians but he still 00:30:55.409 --> 00:30:58.909 called them the holy people So holy 00:30:58.910 --> 00:31:02.409 is something you become the day you 00:31:02.044 --> 00:31:05.544 get saved and you continue and you continue 00:31:05.545 --> 00:31:09.044 that I’m going to talk about that so what 00:31:10.007 --> 00:31:13.507 you need to know is that in the bible you 00:31:13.508 --> 00:31:17.007 never find the words sinners for Christians 00:31:18.419 --> 00:31:21.448 and if that is the truth why do you call yourself 00:31:21.449 --> 00:31:24.477 sinners why do people always call themselves 00:31:24.999 --> 00:31:27.502 sinners? When this is not true because we are 00:31:27.503 --> 00:31:30.005 building on the wrong foundation and then 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:34.099 maybe you say yes but’ Paul, Paul, Paul, 00:31:34.100 --> 00:31:37.599 he called himself a sinner and I’ve been 00:31:38.649 --> 00:31:42.149 sharing this here about 40 different words 00:31:42.150 --> 00:31:45.649 in the bible where you see places where you 00:31:45.083 --> 00:31:48.298 see the word ‘holy people’ but it’s not 00:31:48.299 --> 00:31:51.512 like in the bible in the church people 00:31:52.259 --> 00:31:55.759 don’t know all of those scriptures the most of 00:31:55.760 --> 00:31:59.259 them know one this is this one Jesus Christ 00:31:59.739 --> 00:32:03.239 came into the world to save sinners of who 00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:06.739 I am the worst Paul is saying that this is 00:32:08.919 --> 00:32:12.419 what we use in Denmark if you go to Danish 00:32:12.420 --> 00:32:15.919 Christians Lutheran website and ask question 00:32:16.679 --> 00:32:20.070 are we sinners or not sinners they will say 00:32:20.071 --> 00:32:23.460 we are sinners and they will quote this verse 00:32:23.046 --> 00:32:26.546 that Jesus Christ came to the world to save 00:32:26.547 --> 00:32:30.046 sinners and of whom I am the worst so they 00:32:31.619 --> 00:32:34.640 say that Paul said about himself 00:32:34.641 --> 00:32:37.660 that he is the worst sinner. 00:32:38.029 --> 00:32:40.573 And somehow it has become holy so I meet 00:32:40.574 --> 00:32:43.117 people like ‘I’m the most worst sinner’ no 00:32:43.909 --> 00:32:47.300 no I am more worse than you are no, no, no, I am. 00:32:47.301 --> 00:32:50.690 Almost has become holy to say I am a 00:32:50.069 --> 00:32:53.569 sinner and people stand up in church and ‘I 00:32:53.570 --> 00:32:57.069 am a sinner’ and somehow we make it holy 00:32:59.099 --> 00:33:02.599 but Paul is not saying he is a sinner if you 00:33:02.600 --> 00:33:06.099 look at this Jesus Christ came to the world 00:33:08.129 --> 00:33:11.629 to save sinners he is talking about something 00:33:11.630 --> 00:33:15.129 Jesus not Jesus do right now but something 00:33:15.059 --> 00:33:18.559 he did he came there to save sinners and of 00:33:18.560 --> 00:33:22.059 those people he came to save he was the worst 00:33:26.929 --> 00:33:30.429 why? Because if you see the words before he 00:33:30.430 --> 00:33:33.929 said that he was blaspheming he was a violent 00:33:34.002 --> 00:33:37.502 man he was doing a lot of crazy things you 00:33:37.503 --> 00:33:41.002 know Paul he was going against the church 00:33:41.539 --> 00:33:45.039 he was trying to kill the Christians so he 00:33:45.040 --> 00:33:48.539 was a violent man against God but God saved 00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:55.641 him, so when he is saying there he was the 00:33:55.642 --> 00:33:58.163 worst sinner he doesn’t say he is it now, 00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:02.059 he said he was it but he used the word I am 00:34:02.060 --> 00:34:05.559 because he is talking about something at that 00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:09.034 moment and try to imagine it was true that Paul 00:34:09.036 --> 00:34:12.510 was looking at himself as the worst sinner 00:34:12.051 --> 00:34:15.551 and he thought it was holy why did he every 00:34:15.552 --> 00:34:19.051 time he write a letter in the bible write 00:34:22.018 --> 00:34:23.768 to people and called the 00:34:23.768 --> 00:34:25.518 Christians the holy people? 00:34:25.518 --> 00:34:29.018 It seems so crazy he calls himself 00:34:29.053 --> 00:34:32.553 I’m the worst sinner and to everybody he 00:34:32.554 --> 00:34:36.053 met around he called them the holy people 00:34:38.045 --> 00:34:40.547 there but me I’m the worst of all sinners 00:34:40.549 --> 00:34:43.051 can you see it doesn’t make any sense and 00:34:43.096 --> 00:34:45.597 this is what religion is and you have seen 00:34:45.598 --> 00:34:48.097 that through in the last teaching we take 00:34:49.005 --> 00:34:52.505 something that is very clear in the word of 00:34:52.505 --> 00:34:56.005 God holy people holy people holy people over 00:34:56.098 --> 00:34:59.598 forty times it is written holy people and 00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:03.098 then we take one verse taken out of context 00:35:04.098 --> 00:35:07.598 we don’t understand and out of that word we 00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:11.098 build our theology and we don’t see what 00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:14.590 the rest of the word is saying 00:35:14.591 --> 00:35:17.101 because no we are sinners 00:35:18.001 --> 00:35:21.501 And this is the foundation almost every church 00:35:21.502 --> 00:35:25.001 here is building on we are sinners saved by 00:35:25.042 --> 00:35:28.542 grace can you see it and it’s all about the 00:35:28.543 --> 00:35:32.042 mind set to understand who we are in Christ 00:35:36.051 --> 00:35:38.555 and what he has done if you go with that mind-set 00:35:38.556 --> 00:35:41.058 o you are sinners, you are sinners you are 00:35:41.058 --> 00:35:43.582 sinners, I’m a sinner I cannot do anything, do 00:35:43.583 --> 00:35:46.105 you think you are going to experience freedom 00:35:47.005 --> 00:35:50.022 no you are not you will see yourself a sinner 00:35:50.023 --> 00:35:53.038 you start to think as a sinner and you will 00:35:53.038 --> 00:35:54.054 live as a sinner. 00:35:54.054 --> 00:35:55.590 New creation But if you know 00:35:55.591 --> 00:35:57.126 that you are a new creation 00:35:58.026 --> 00:36:01.526 something new has started you are going to live 00:36:01.527 --> 00:36:05.026 that new life and I don’t say to everybody 00:36:05.027 --> 00:36:07.063 receiving this teaching that hey now you should 00:36:07.064 --> 00:36:09.099 just say you are holy people because many 00:36:09.099 --> 00:36:12.112 maybe is sinners because you have not repented 00:36:12.113 --> 00:36:15.124 because you are not saved yet, and I want 00:36:16.024 --> 00:36:19.053 to talk about what happens when we repent 00:36:19.054 --> 00:36:22.082 what happens in our life and I don’t want 00:36:22.082 --> 00:36:25.582 to make a lot of theology out of it I want 00:36:25.583 --> 00:36:29.082 to give you a testimony of it, but first I 00:36:30.064 --> 00:36:32.591 want to give you some scriptures this is what 00:36:32.592 --> 00:36:35.117 the word is saying when we talk about sin 00:36:36.017 --> 00:36:39.517 ‘No one who abides in him sins no one who 00:36:39.518 --> 00:36:43.017 sins has seen him and knows him’ ‘ouch! 00:36:51.013 --> 00:36:54.513 This is what the word is saying ‘nobody 00:36:54.514 --> 00:36:58.013 who abides in him’ sins’ no one who sins, 00:37:00.037 --> 00:37:03.537 has seen him and knows him and remember what 00:37:03.538 --> 00:37:07.037 Matthew chapter 7; 21 was saying we talked 00:37:08.011 --> 00:37:10.527 about before that many one day is going to 00:37:10.528 --> 00:37:13.042 stand in front of Jesus and he will say depart 00:37:13.042 --> 00:37:16.542 from me I never knew you’ you who do sin’ 00:37:16.543 --> 00:37:20.042 this word this is the word of God.

Why does God give 00:49:40.019 --> 00:49:43.519 us a new spirit? Why does God take the stone 00:49:43.520 --> 00:49:47.019 heart out of us? Why does God give us a new 00:49:47.045 --> 00:49:49.059 heart of flesh? He said and will give them 00:49:49.060 --> 00:49:51.073 a heart of flesh. That they may walk in my 00:49:51.073 --> 00:49:54.573 statutes, and keep my ordinance and to them; 00:49:54.574 --> 00:49:58.073 and they shall be my people, and I will be 00:50:00.032 --> 00:50:03.532 their God. So this is what Jesus did he came 00:50:03.533 --> 00:50:07.032 to save us from our sins, why? How? By giving 00:50:14.004 --> 00:50:17.504 us a new spirit and giving us a new heart, 00:50:17.505 --> 00:50:21.004 he is going to remove the stone heart from 00:50:23.088 --> 00:50:26.588 our body and give us a heart of flesh he is 00:50:26.589 --> 00:50:30.088 going to write the commandments in our heart 00:50:31.028 --> 00:50:34.528 so we would walk in his statutes so we could 00:50:34.529 --> 00:50:38.028 keep his commandments not like ‘go and remember 00:50:41.014 --> 00:50:43.531 the ten commandments, not like go and remember 00:50:43.532 --> 00:50:46.048 what is wrong what not wrong ‘no’ but 00:50:46.048 --> 00:50:49.548 by a new creation and it was what I experienced 00:50:49.549 --> 00:50:53.048 that time many years ago I experienced that 00:50:57.009 --> 00:51:00.509 why? Because the Gospel is the power of salvation 00:51:00.510 --> 00:51:04.009 its more than just religious activities. 00:51:05.089 --> 00:51:08.589 It’s a new body something new has started 00:51:08.590 --> 00:51:12.089 and what happened with me I repented ‘God 00:51:13.069 --> 00:51:16.569 forgive me! Forgive me! Forgive me! And at 00:51:16.570 --> 00:51:20.069 that moment I was new and I really need to 00:51:21.002 --> 00:51:23.032 have God to show me that he had forgiven me 00:51:23.033 --> 00:51:25.061 because I was so new in it I didn’t know 00:51:25.061 --> 00:51:28.561 the whole word was praying and I was confused 00:51:28.562 --> 00:51:32.061 so I heard there was a church open in another 00:51:32.088 --> 00:51:34.105 city close by they had a meeting that night 00:51:34.106 --> 00:51:36.121 so I jump in the car I went there on the way 00:51:37.021 --> 00:51:39.570 I said God forgive me!

And I have learned 00:55:14.097 --> 00:55:17.597 that when we repent from our ways from our 00:55:17.598 --> 00:55:21.097 sins God has something much better for us 00:55:22.006 --> 00:55:25.506 my wife is so amazing she is so holy she has 00:55:25.507 --> 00:55:29.006 grown up in a Christian family she had never 00:55:29.036 --> 00:55:32.043 kissed anybody else than me she had never 00:55:32.044 --> 00:55:35.050 been together with somebody she had been kept 00:55:35.005 --> 00:55:38.505 by God and she is so strong and when we talk 00:55:38.506 --> 00:55:42.005 about living in sin I learned so much from 00:55:43.014 --> 00:55:46.060 my wife because I can see so much in my wife 00:55:46.061 --> 00:55:49.105 that is so different from so many other and 00:55:50.005 --> 00:55:52.507 you have heard her songs she has gone through 00:55:52.508 --> 00:55:55.009 a lot she is so strong. She is the strong 00:55:55.045 --> 00:55:58.092 home in many ways in our family and often 00:55:58.093 --> 00:56:01.139 when we travel together I take my wife with 00:56:02.039 --> 00:56:05.042 me and we are working together now it’s me 00:56:05.043 --> 00:56:08.045 who is the public person here you see me 00:56:08.045 --> 00:56:11.545 often and people see me more but I’m not who I 00:56:11.546 --> 00:56:15.045 am without my wife. My wife is the strength 00:56:16.031 --> 00:56:19.531 she is so amazing and God has put us together 00:56:19.532 --> 00:56:23.031 no doubt of that. So we can see if we repent 00:56:24.005 --> 00:56:27.505 of our ways God has something better for us. 00:56:27.506 --> 00:56:31.005 And what about ‘no one who abides in him 00:56:35.023 --> 00:56:38.523 sins? No one who sins has seen him and know 00:56:38.524 --> 00:56:42.023 him and another verse 1 John 3;9 no one who 00:56:49.056 --> 00:56:52.556 is born of God will continue in sin because 00:56:52.557 --> 00:56:56.056 God’s seeds remain in him, they cannot go 00:56:59.078 --> 00:57:02.578 on sinning because they have been born of 00:57:02.579 --> 00:57:06.078 God, what does that mean? I think this is 00:57:10.028 --> 00:57:13.034 a good translation that they cannot go on 00:57:13.035 --> 00:57:16.040 sinning because they are born by God and this 00:57:16.004 --> 00:57:19.504 also is no one who abides in him sins, nobody 00:57:19.505 --> 00:57:23.004 who abides in him goes on sinning, this is 00:57:23.094 --> 00:57:26.115 often what the word is saying like john 3;16 00:57:26.116 --> 00:57:29.135 For God so much loved the world that he sent 00:57:30.035 --> 00:57:33.535 his only Son that everybody who believe in 00:57:33.536 --> 00:57:37.035 him shall have eternal life the word is for 00:57:37.052 --> 00:57:40.079 everybody who believe in him and continue 00:57:40.080 --> 00:57:43.105 believing in him so in the word this is not 00:57:44.005 --> 00:57:47.047 talking about somebody who just believe one 00:57:47.048 --> 00:57:50.089 time many years ago the word if you go in 00:57:50.089 --> 00:57:53.589 is the continued word everybody who believe and 00:57:53.590 --> 00:57:57.089 continue to believe this is the same nobody 00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:06.500 who is born of God will continue to sin why 00:58:06.501 --> 00:58:10.000 because he is born of God why would he not 00:58:12.099 --> 00:58:15.599 continue in sin because the law has been put 00:58:15.600 --> 00:58:19.099 in his heart, this is what I experienced this 00:58:19.099 --> 00:58:21.635 is what many millions of people around the 00:58:21.636 --> 00:58:24.171 world experienced when you repent from your 00:58:25.071 --> 00:58:28.089 sins when you believe in Jesus Christ God is 00:58:28.090 --> 00:58:31.107 going to create a new heart inside of you 00:58:32.007 --> 00:58:35.507 ‘and that means that you cannot go on sinning’ 00:58:35.508 --> 00:58:39.007 the woman who was caught in adultery came 00:58:43.000 --> 00:58:46.021 to Jesus and they want to stone her and Jesus 00:58:46.022 --> 00:58:49.042 did not condemn her he forgave her but he 00:58:49.042 --> 00:58:52.542 also said to her ‘now you are forgiven go and 00:58:52.543 --> 00:58:56.042 sin no more’ what if she had just continued 00:58:57.082 --> 00:59:00.086 sinning? We cannot continue sinning when we 00:59:00.087 --> 00:59:03.089 have been forgiven we need to understand that 00:59:04.052 --> 00:59:07.552 this word is also right if we confess our 00:59:07.553 --> 00:59:11.052 sins he is faithful and just to forgive us 00:59:12.018 --> 00:59:15.039 we need to understand that forgiveness 00:59:15.040 --> 00:59:18.059 has to do with repentance. 00:59:18.059 --> 00:59:21.559 And repentance has to do with your heart your 00:59:21.560 --> 00:59:25.059 mind and has to do with ceasing from sinning. 00:59:26.098 --> 00:59:29.598 I got forgiven when I sinned but I didn’t 00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:33.098 continue in sin because I know what the word 00:59:36.025 --> 00:59:39.525 is saying and it is like we have a world today 00:59:39.526 --> 00:59:43.025 in church who don’t know what the word is 00:59:43.075 --> 00:59:46.122 saying they don’t know the truth of God if 00:59:46.123 --> 00:59:49.168 I go to Hebrew for example and I’m going 00:59:50.068 --> 00:59:53.568 to read a verse that is also the word of God 00:59:53.569 --> 00:59:57.068 exactly like john 3;16 and other verses and 00:59:58.004 --> 01:00:01.504 the word here in Hebrews chapter 10 verse 26 01:00:01.505 --> 01:00:05.004 if we sin wilfully after we have received 01:00:05.004 --> 01:00:08.504 the knowledge of the truth there no longer 01:00:08.505 --> 01:00:12.004 remains a sacrifice for sin. If we go sin 01:00:19.025 --> 01:00:22.525 wilfully there is no longer a sacrifice for our 01:00:22.526 --> 01:00:26.025 sin the result will be eternal punishment. 01:00:29.071 --> 01:00:31.604 This is what the verse is saying many know 01:00:31.605 --> 01:00:34.137 this word and read that word and are like 01:00:35.037 --> 01:00:38.537 o sin wilfully o’ but I have sinned wilfully! 01:00:38.538 --> 01:00:42.037 What does that word mean? And I want to say 01:00:43.051 --> 01:00:46.088 when I stand there in front of my I went to 01:00:46.089 --> 01:00:49.124 bed with her I was sinning wilfully I knew 01:00:50.024 --> 01:00:53.524 it inside somehow I didn’t know it but at 01:00:53.525 --> 01:00:57.024 the same time I knew it. And I did sin but 01:00:57.046 --> 01:01:00.546 God forgave me. The word here if you sin wilfully 01:01:00.547 --> 01:01:04.046 is the same word if you continue sinning if 01:01:05.095 --> 01:01:08.595 you continue sinning wilfully you can come 01:01:08.596 --> 01:01:12.095 to that part where the Holy Spirit is going 01:01:15.031 --> 01:01:18.531 to leave you and I sad enough know people who 01:01:18.532 --> 01:01:22.031 got saved they were living with a girlfriend 01:01:22.046 --> 01:01:25.074 and they could not continue in that sin because 01:01:25.075 --> 01:01:28.102 they got saved and then they move away from 01:01:29.002 --> 01:01:32.502 the girlfriend later they opened them up to 01:01:32.503 --> 01:01:36.002 sin again, and slowly sin came in and slowly 01:01:36.088 --> 01:01:39.588 and slowly and then after some time ended 01:01:39.589 --> 01:01:43.088 up with the girlfriend again and I met them 01:01:44.099 --> 01:01:47.132 and I asked them do you have a problem with 01:01:47.133 --> 01:01:50.165 this and they said ‘no’ but before they 01:01:51.065 --> 01:01:54.565 had. What had happened? One time they experienced 01:01:54.566 --> 01:01:58.065 the salvation the Holy Spirit in their heart 01:01:59.068 --> 01:02:02.568 but because they didn’t keep because they 01:02:02.569 --> 01:02:06.068 didn’t understand we have to be careful 01:02:07.095 --> 01:02:10.595 with what God have given us and listen to the 01:02:10.596 --> 01:02:14.095 Holy Spirit I believe those people continued 01:02:16.007 --> 01:02:17.757 going against the Holy Spirit 01:02:17.758 --> 01:02:19.507 the heart inside of them. 01:02:19.508 --> 01:02:23.007 And because they continued in that 01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:26.135 the Holy Spirit got sad and left them. And 01:02:26.136 --> 01:02:29.150 now they ended up in sin again and the last 01:02:29.015 --> 01:02:30.532 part is going to be worse than 01:02:30.533 --> 01:02:32.048 the first the bible says. 01:02:32.049 --> 01:02:35.081 When we talk about sin it’s 01:02:35.081 --> 01:02:37.099 like we have not understood what it is all 01:02:37.100 --> 01:02:39.117 about in church it is like are still the whole 01:02:40.017 --> 01:02:43.066 part we are all sinners instead of understanding 01:02:43.067 --> 01:02:46.114 we ‘were’ sinners’ but God created a 01:02:47.014 --> 01:02:50.514 new heart inside of us and if we had that 01:02:50.515 --> 01:02:54.014 we cannot continue living in wilfully sin 01:02:54.093 --> 01:02:57.593 because we have the new heart. 01:02:57.594 --> 01:03:01.093 Let’s go to the first book of 01:03:11.049 --> 01:03:14.549 john chapter 3; 7 they talk about the children 01:03:14.550 --> 01:03:18.049 of God and talk about some of the things I 01:03:18.071 --> 01:03:21.571 have been reading here. Little children, let no 01:03:21.572 --> 01:03:25.071 one deceive you him who practice righteousness 01:03:33.045 --> 01:03:36.545 is righteous just as he is righteous. Him 01:03:36.546 --> 01:03:40.045 who sins is of the devil for the devil for 01:03:41.047 --> 01:03:44.547 the devil as sinned from the beginning for 01:03:44.548 --> 01:03:48.047 the promise of God was manifested that he 01:03:49.002 --> 01:03:52.502 might destroy the works of the devil. So Jesus 01:03:52.503 --> 01:03:56.002 came to destroy the sin in us and in verse 01:03:58.026 --> 01:04:01.526 10 we read this, this is how we know who the 01:04:01.527 --> 01:04:05.026 children of God are and who the children of 01:04:06.085 --> 01:04:09.585 the devil are anyone who does not do what 01:04:09.586 --> 01:04:13.085 is right is not Gods children nor is anyone 01:04:17.002 --> 01:04:20.502 who does not love his brother or sister. This 01:04:20.503 --> 01:04:24.002 is what john is saying ‘this is how we know 01:04:27.048 --> 01:04:30.548 who is the children of God and who is the 01:04:30.549 --> 01:04:34.048 children of the devil this is how we know 01:04:36.049 --> 01:04:39.549 this is just after this verse we read this, this 01:04:39.550 --> 01:04:43.049 is how we know, how do we know by everybody 01:04:45.003 --> 01:04:48.503 who is born again will not continue in sin 01:04:48.504 --> 01:04:52.003 by this you will know who is the children 01:04:54.008 --> 01:04:57.508 of God and who is not. It’s not 01:04:57.509 --> 01:05:01.008 by speaking in tongues you know 01:05:03.042 --> 01:05:06.542 you have repented, done the first thing it’s 01:05:06.543 --> 01:05:10.042 not by speaking in tongues it’s not by healing 01:05:10.077 --> 01:05:13.577 the sick but that we know that we have repented, 01:05:13.578 --> 01:05:17.077 we know it by this is how we know who is the 01:05:21.018 --> 01:05:24.518 children of God and who is not I talk to many, 01:05:24.519 --> 01:05:28.018 many people and I meet many non-Christians 01:05:29.008 --> 01:05:32.044 I meet many Christians when I talk to religious 01:05:32.045 --> 01:05:35.080 people in the church I many times sit in front 01:05:36.052 --> 01:05:39.552 of young people and I ask them do you live in 01:05:39.553 --> 01:05:43.052 sin with your girlfriend? And do you go to bed 01:05:49.869 --> 01:05:53.369 with your girlfriend? And they are like ‘yes’ 01:05:53.370 --> 01:05:56.869 ok do you have problem with that yes I think 01:06:00.029 --> 01:06:01.779 I have ok why? Do you have 01:06:01.780 --> 01:06:03.529 a problem in your mind? 01:06:03.530 --> 01:06:07.029 Because you have heard that this is 01:06:07.058 --> 01:06:10.105 wrong or do you feel inside here that this 01:06:10.106 --> 01:06:13.151 is completely wrong? Many will say ‘I have 01:06:14.051 --> 01:06:17.551 a problem in my mind’ why would they say 01:06:17.552 --> 01:06:21.051 that because if it was from inside here it 01:06:22.011 --> 01:06:25.511 would not be very like this is wrong’ it 01:06:25.512 --> 01:06:29.011 would be like me YOU ARE SINNING! You are 01:06:29.024 --> 01:06:32.524 sinning! And they would not be I doubt, they 01:06:32.525 --> 01:06:36.024 would know that are sinning because they are 01:06:36.084 --> 01:06:38.127 born of God, But because they 01:06:38.128 --> 01:06:40.170 are not born of God they 01:06:41.007 --> 01:06:44.014 are only religious in their mind set they 01:06:44.015 --> 01:06:47.020 have no problem with sin they know in their 01:06:47.083 --> 01:06:49.594 mind set that I should not do that it’s 01:06:49.595 --> 01:06:52.105 wrong but they have never got it from their 01:06:53.005 --> 01:06:56.505 mind down to their spirit and that is why 01:06:56.506 --> 01:07:00.005 we have many in the church today who live 01:07:00.029 --> 01:07:03.529 in sin and we call them still ‘Christians’ we 01:07:03.530 --> 01:07:07.029 call them sinners but sinners who is going 01:07:08.042 --> 01:07:11.542 to heaven because we are all sinners you know 01:07:11.543 --> 01:07:15.042 yea they live in sin but we all live in sin 01:07:15.047 --> 01:07:18.083 they continue in sin but they believe in 01:07:18.084 --> 01:07:21.119 God ‘no’ it’s not by who believe God but 01:07:22.019 --> 01:07:25.519 by this you know who is the children of God 01:07:25.520 --> 01:07:29.019 and who is not by this, if people live in 01:07:31.013 --> 01:07:34.513 wilful sin and you know it and you see it, 01:07:34.514 --> 01:07:38.013 it doesn’t matter what they believe if they 01:07:42.078 --> 01:07:45.578 live in wilful sin they are not born again 01:07:45.579 --> 01:07:49.078 also if they come in church if he is a priest 01:07:50.028 --> 01:07:53.528 if he say he knows God and he reads the bible 01:07:53.529 --> 01:07:57.028 he is not born again because God came to create 01:07:58.055 --> 01:08:01.555 a new heart he is still holy he has not changed 01:08:01.556 --> 01:08:05.055 he is the same as we read in the old covenant 01:08:06.058 --> 01:08:09.558 he has not changed it is us who need to get 01:08:09.559 --> 01:08:13.058 changed by the spirit of God by the law of 01:08:13.072 --> 01:08:16.572 God is written in our heart and this is what 01:08:16.573 --> 01:08:20.072 happened when repentance happens, tom are 01:08:21.042 --> 01:08:24.542 you without sin ‘no’ I don’t say I am where 01:08:24.542 --> 01:08:28.042 I should be, but I am not where I used 01:08:31.042 --> 01:08:34.542 to be but I know there is more because I need 01:08:34.542 --> 01:08:38.042 to look like Christ and I want to look like 01:08:38.589 --> 01:08:42.089 Christ when I got saved in the beginning it 01:08:42.090 --> 01:08:45.589 was like the big thing like I did sin ‘aa 01:08:46.359 --> 01:08:49.859 I could not do…that anymore, and then it 01:08:49.859 --> 01:08:53.359 was easier for me to cut it off and not do 01:08:53.067 --> 01:08:56.567 that anymore but you cannot like the head and 01:08:56.568 --> 01:09:00.067 the mind separate them but then God started 01:09:03.077 --> 01:09:06.577 to deal with that in me and then it was my 01:09:06.578 --> 01:09:10.077 false life ‘why did I react the way I did? 01:09:11.064 --> 01:09:14.080 Why did I say the thing I said? Was it to 01:09:14.081 --> 01:09:17.095 build my kingdom? To be proud or why did I 01:09:17.095 --> 01:09:19.118 do what I did? And God continued 01:09:19.118 --> 01:09:21.140 working in me and he still 01:09:22.004 --> 01:09:24.519 works in me today and he is going to continue 01:09:24.520 --> 01:09:27.033 working in me until the day I’m going to 01:09:27.069 --> 01:09:30.093 stand in front of him but I want to make him 01:09:30.094 --> 01:09:33.116 continue working in me because if I just stop 01:09:34.015 --> 01:09:37.515 and say no’ this is enough common, then 01:09:37.515 --> 01:09:41.015 he is not my Lord. I need to let him work 01:09:42.009 --> 01:09:44.609 in me. And there was a period in my life where 01:09:44.611 --> 01:09:47.210 he really went deeper and deeper and deeper 01:09:47.020 --> 01:09:50.520 and deeper and deeper and deeper. And I want 01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:54.020 to say there is a difference between living 01:09:55.067 --> 01:09:58.567 in wilful sin and being bound to sin, and 01:09:58.568 --> 01:10:02.067 I repented in many ways and I experienced 01:10:05.031 --> 01:10:08.531 a freedom I did, but there was still something 01:10:08.532 --> 01:10:12.031 in my life I could not get rid of there was 01:10:12.095 --> 01:10:15.099 one thing there and there was a few things, 01:10:15.100 --> 01:10:18.103 I didn’t love it I didn’t want to live 01:10:19.003 --> 01:10:22.010 in it but I fall in it, in this thing and 01:10:22.011 --> 01:10:25.017 other thing, and I was like oo I didn’t 01:10:25.017 --> 01:10:28.517 feel free and it tormented me but then I got 01:10:28.518 --> 01:10:32.017 baptised and when I got baptise, not immediately, 01:10:37.054 --> 01:10:40.554 nothing happened but later I got a revelation 01:10:40.555 --> 01:10:44.054 out of what baptism was and I started to walk 01:10:45.075 --> 01:10:48.575 in romans 6.

They don’t 01:11:45.042 --> 01:11:47.581 experience the freedom they are walking in 01:11:47.582 --> 01:11:50.119 romans 7 and they are fighting with guilt 01:11:51.019 --> 01:11:53.066 many are and because they don’t have the 01:11:53.067 --> 01:11:55.112 baptism in water and the freedom from sin 01:11:56.012 --> 01:11:59.512 they build a theology out of their experience 01:11:59.513 --> 01:12:03.012 and their theology becomes like we are sinners’ 01:12:04.091 --> 01:12:07.124 we are all sinners’ instead of we are saints 01:12:07.125 --> 01:12:10.156 we are holy because Jesus did not come to 01:12:11.056 --> 01:12:14.556 save us in our sin he came to save us from 01:12:14.557 --> 01:12:18.056 our sin and I want to say Jesus said to the 01:12:20.025 --> 01:12:23.525 Pharisee in Matthew 23 woe unto you scribes 01:12:23.526 --> 01:12:27.025 and Pharisees hypocrites and he said you are 01:12:31.001 --> 01:12:34.501 cleansing the cup outside but inside is still 01:12:34.502 --> 01:12:38.001 rotten it is so rotten inside and he said 01:12:39.009 --> 01:12:42.509 ‘cleanse the cup inside and it will also be 01:12:42.510 --> 01:12:46.009 clean outside and this is the problem with 01:12:48.065 --> 01:12:50.602 the Pharisees this is the problem with the 01:12:50.603 --> 01:12:53.138 religious people, today the religious people 01:12:54.038 --> 01:12:57.538 cleanse the cup outside but inside the still 01:12:57.539 --> 01:13:01.038 feel so rotten and I’ve met so many people 01:13:05.047 --> 01:13:08.547 who have grown up in religious traditions 01:13:08.548 --> 01:13:12.047 and when I come with this you can be free 01:13:14.009 --> 01:13:16.512 then it is good news because they had tried 01:13:16.513 --> 01:13:19.015 to walk as a Christian for many years and 01:13:19.069 --> 01:13:22.569 know everything but they always feel condemned 01:13:22.570 --> 01:13:26.069 and they always fighting and sinning fighting 01:13:28.042 --> 01:13:29.792 and sinning instead of 01:13:29.793 --> 01:13:31.542 experiencing the freedom why?
