Official statement - Clear WARNING about going away from Christ and back to Moses.

Welcome to this video.
My name is Torben Sondergaard

and I am the founder of
The Last Reformation.

This video is for all of you
who have been following us,

who have been following
The Last Reformation,

or everyone else out there.

I need to do a video here where I'll come
with a very, very, very clear warning.

The sad thing is that there are people
I know, people I love,

who have got circumcised.

There are people who have been working
with us in The Last Reformation,

who have been teaching on our
training schools,

who have now gone so far
to get circumcised.

And I see there is something
that has crept in,

to where we are in The Last Reformation
and to the body of Christ,

where they try to get us back
under the Law,

back to Hebrew roots movement.

They try to get us back to the Law.

They try to get us back in a way
where people end up getting circumcised.

And it's a big, big, big problem
and therefore I need to do this video.

It doesn't start with circumcision.

It doesn't start with:
Hey, let's get circumcised.

No. It starts with: Let's love God.

And because we love God we want
to keep the Sabbath.

Because we love God
we keep the feast.

Because we love God we start to keep
the rules, when it comes to the food.

Because we love God
we end up getting circumcised.

And it is a big problem.

So, those people who are now getting
circumcised it's not because they say:

Oh, we want to keep the Law.

But they get circumcised because slowly,
slowly, slowly they have come away

from the gospel we see in Jesus Christ
and back to something that is not the gospel.

And I need to do this very serious video
and I want to share something about this.

First, I want to say that
you can offer something to God.

You can give something to God,
but God doesn't find joy in what you are giving.

We know the example of Cain and Abel,

how God received Abel's offer,
but He rejected Cain's offer.

So, it's not about just: Oh, I keep the Sabbath
because I want to please God,

or I keep the food rules, because I want
to give something to God,

and then, if I give something to God,
God will feel more pleased in me.

You know you can offer things to God
and God rejects your offer.

We see that even more clear
with Moses and Aaron and Aaron's sons.

In Leviticus 9:23 we can read about how
Moses and Aaron offered to God

and how God felt joy in that offer. And fire
came down and consumed the offer they gave.

But then in chapter 10, the first verse,
we read this:

"Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu
took their censers,

put fire in them and added incense;
and they offered unauthorized fire..."

and God came and consumed them.
Not the offer.

He consumed them.
You read that in Leviticus 10:1-2.

So, here there were some people
who tried to offer things to God

and God did not feel pleased
with it at all.

And I see the same today.

There are people who try
and say: Okay, we are not sure about

what God wants and what God
doesn't want, so therefore we offer it.

We want to keep the Sabbath.
We want to keep the feast.

We want to keep.

Keep the food laws.

We get circumcised.

Don't go there.

Don't go there.

And what I want to say.

I'm very, very worried
for what is happening in the church today.

I'm very worried that there are people I know,
I love, who have gone so far away

from the straight path, gone away from what
is so clear in the Bible,

that they end up getting circumcised.

As I said, it did not start there.

And as I said, they maybe said:
Yeah, but we don't get circumcised

because we want to keep the Law.

We get circumcised because we love God.

We love Jesus, and therefore,
we get circumcised.

But as I said, it doesn't make it right.

If we just look at the Bible, I know
there were different people in the Bible

who got circumcised,
but for different reasons.

We can read in Acts 16:1 how Paul came to
Lystra. And there he met the disciple Timothy.

Timothy's mother was a believing Jew,
but his father was a Greek.

And because his father was Greek,
we read this in verse 3.

"Paul wanted to take him (Timothy)
along on the journey,

so he (Paul) circumcised him (Timothy)
because of the Jews who lived in that area..."

So, here we read that Paul went in
to circumcise Timothy.

But he did not circumcise him because
he wanted to please God or keep the Law.

Because at another place we are going to
look, Paul warned very, very strong

against getting circumcised.

But here he circumcised him.
Why?

Because he wanted to be effective
in reaching the Jews.

And you see that another place where you see
that Paul was as a Jew for Jews to reach them.

He was as a Gentile to reach them.

To different groups he was like them
to reach them for the gospel.

But there he also said something
interesting

and I want us to start to read this.
In 1 Corinthians 9:20 Paul said this:

"To the Jews I became like a Jew,
to win the Jews..."

Very simple. That is why he circumcised
Timothy.

"To the Jews I became like a Jew,
to win the Jews..."

And then he said something here.

"To those under the law
I became like one under the law

(though I myself am not under the law),
so as to win those under the law."

So, he said to those who were under the law,
Paul became like somebody under the law

to win them, though he was not
under the law.

So, Paul did not see himself as somebody
who was under the law anymore.

He was a Jew and he became like a Jew,
or pretended to be under the law

to reach those people, but he did not see
himself as somebody under the law.

And neither should you and me.

But then he continues because it did not
mean that he was without a law.

I am not under the law.

I am not under the law of Moses.
Does that mean I am without a law?

No, it doesn't.

Because he continues in verse 21.
He said here:

"To those not having the law
I became like one not having the law

(though I am not free from God’s law
but am under Christ’s law),

so as to win those not having the law."

So, Paul says here:
For those who have no law

I am like somebody who has no law...

but...

I'm not without a law.

I am under Christ's law.

So, out of these verses we have just read,

it is very, very, very clear that Paul
looked at himself

as somebody who was not under
that law, but he was not without a law.

He was under another law,

under the law of Christ,

and that is a different law
than a law of Moses,

and many people go wrong here.

And I'm going to come much more
back to that later.

So I hope you can follow me.

So, what we see is that...
There were people in the Bible

who got circumcised, not the keep the law,
but to be effective to reach the Jews.

And I know today there are people
who get circumcised for different reasons.

I know many, many, many people
in America as babies get circumcised.

That came as a total shock to me
when I came to America.

I heard that. I did not know that.

In Denmark, where I grew up, I know of
no one who got circumcised like that, as a baby.

It was not something we heard about.
It's not something that is happening.

I know that in Europe people
don't get circumcised,

but in America many get circumcised.
But again, it's not to keep the law.

It's a tradition or for other reasons.

But, but, but, but, but...
Are you not a Jew?

Are you a Gentile like me?
Not Jew?

Love God, love Jesus and go that way
where you are considering

or getting circumcised because
of anything that has to do with the law?

You are standing in a very, very
dangerous place.

And as I said, I can almost say the same.
If you are trying to keep the Sabbath,

if you are trying to keep the feast,
if you are trying to keep the food rules,

all that have to do with the law of Moses,

you are actually standing
in a very dangerous place.

And I need to do this video
because I've seen this crept in

and defile and destroy people,

people I love, who have gone
so far astray because of this.

And therefore, people I worked with
in The Last Reformation

have also asked me: Torben, you need
to do this video.

It's a serious problem,
it's creeping in,

not only among us. It's maybe creeping in
in your network, in your church, where you are.

The whole Hebrew root thing.

So I want to continue.
Let's loot at Galatians 5:1. Paul said:

"For freedom Christ
has set us free;

stand firm therefore, and do not submit
again to a yoke of slavery."

So, Jesus Christ has set us free.
But we need to stand firm

and not again submit to a yoke of slavery.

And this is what I've seen.
People start in the spirit, being free.

Free, walk in freedom.
Christ has set them free.

And suddenly it became about the law,
the Sabbath, the feast, the food rules,

and they come under slavery
one more time.

And then he continues in 5:2:

"Look: I, Paul, say to you
that if you accept circumcision,

Christ will be of no advantage to you."

"If you accept circumcision
Christ will not be of any advantage to you."

"I testify again to every man
who accepts circumcision

that he is obligated to keep the whole law.

You are severed from Christ,
you who would be justified by the law;

you have fallen away from grace."

Paul in this verse makes it so, so clear
to all of us.

He said:
Don't go under slavery one more time.

if you accept circumcision,
Christ will not benefit you,

will not give you anything.

You are obligated to keep the whole law.

You are cut off from Christ.
You have fallen away from grace.

And this is what I see today

with the whole Hebrew root movement.

It looks so good some of it,
but it ends so far away.

It ends up that people fall away from grace.

It ends up that people are cutting Christ off

and ending up under slavery
one more time.

And I want to say...

I have been walking with Christ
for 25 years now.

When I came to faith in Christ
we did not have YouTube.

We did not have internet.

It was much easier at that time.

We read the Bible.

We read and we believed.

And all of us who have been reading
the Bible for years,

and the Holy Spirit has been teaching us,

none of us came to that idea that:
Hey, we need to start to keep the Sabbath.

We need to keep the food rules.
We need to keep the feast.

We need to get circumcised.

Why? Because it was not what you
came to if you just have the Spirit of God

and read the Bible alone.

We got the internet.

We got YouTube.

We god different ministries.
They seem so convincing,

where people today,
who are not firm in the Word of God,

they are sitting and seeing it.

People who have been walking in freedom
for one, two, five, ten years,

led by the Holy Spirit, and then they
find a ministry on YouTube

and they find some of the teachings,
and they start to see it,

and suddenly everything is
falling apart

and they end up getting circumcised.

We did not have that before
we had the YouTube and internet.

Why? Because if you just read the Word
without those religious glasses

and those tradition, and all of that.

It's actually much, much, much, much more
clear what we read.

So I want to say this.
And I want to continue.

Are you not a Jew...

Don't get circumcised.

Don't go there.

You are not under the Abraham's
covenant.

We are not under that law.

The Abraham's covenant,
the Jewish covenant,

the circumcision was a sign
for that covenant.

It was a sign where they
cut away the foreskin of the body.

It was a sign of that covenant between
those people, the Jewish people and God.

And they never at that time could imagine
and wanted to go to Gentiles and other nations

and circumcise them. Why?
Because they were not a part of that covenant.

It was only for Abraham and his descendants
in that time, the Jewish people.

And not for us who are Gentiles.

So, it's very, very, very, very clear.

Let's move on and look at
what the Bible says in the New Testament

about the circumcision.

Let's look at little more about it
at the time we are living in.

In Romans 2:25 we read here,
this is Paul writing to the Jews there in Rome:

"Circumcision has value if you observe the law,

but if you break the law, you have become
as though you had not been circumcised."

So, circumcision is good if you keep the law.

Circumcision - if you keep the law.

If you don't keep the law

the circumcision doesn't benefit you.

You are like one not been circumcised.

Verse 26: "So then,
if those who are not circumcised

keep the law's requirements,
will they not be regarded

as though they were circumcised."

27: "The one who is not circumcised physically
and yet obeys the law will condemn you

who, even though you have the written code
and circumcision, are a lawbreaker."

28: "A person is not a Jew
who is one only outwardly,

nor is circumcision merely outward and physical."

29: "No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly;

and circumcision is circumcision of the heart,
by the Spirit, not by the written code..."

So, here is very, very clear
what the circumcision does.

For us, it benefits nobody.

It's not about being circumcised
and not circumcised.

It's about keeping the law.

But he goes further, that the circumcision
we are now looking at

is not a circumcision of cutting the foreskin.

It's a circumcision of the heart,
by the Spirit.

And we are going to look much more
on that very short.

So, the Abraham's covenant
was a sign for the Jews

and the Gentiles and other nations
didn't get circumcised.

It was only for those people.

And it's very clear it's not for us.

At that time, the time of Paul and Peter,
John and James and the early church,

there was, like today, discussion
going on, even more at that time,

because there were people,
Jewish people,

Jewish believers and other,
who wanted the Gentiles to get circumcised.

There were Jewish believers who wanted
the Gentiles to keep the law

and therefore they had a big discussion
already at that time.

And we read about that discussion
in Acts 15:1:

"Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch

and were teaching the believers:
“Unless you are circumcised,

according to the custom taught by Moses,
you cannot be saved.”

And we are seeing the same today.

People don't say directly like that,
but they are saying instead:

"Oh, I get circumcised. I keep the law
because I love Jesus."

Indirectly they say: If you also love Jesus
you also need to keep the law.

But some people actually go so far
and say exactly this:

"Unless you are circumcised, according to
the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved."

That time it brought a big discussion
to the church

and at that time they had a meeting
where they talked about it.

And at that time it was very clear.
Read Acts 15.

That they decided, very clear,
that we, Gentiles, are not under the law

and we should not get circumcised.
We should not keep the Sabbath.

We should not keep the food rules.
We should not keep all of this.

It is very, very clear that we today
live under a new and a better covenant.

Actually, we live under a covenant
where it's not just removing of the foreskin

in circumcision.
No, today is going so much deeper.

It goes in and circumcises the heart.

No, it circumcises the whole body,
by the Spirit, as we read before.

Colossians 2:11:

"In Him you were also circumcised with
a circumcision not performed by human hands..."

So we, you and me, we were also circumcised
with a circumcision not performed by human hands.

"...Your whole self ruled by the flesh
was put off when you were circumcised by Christ."

So we were circumcised not by the human hands,
but we were circumcised by Christ, by the Spirit.

if you read before. When?

12: "having been buried with Him in baptism,
in which you were also raised with Him

through your faith in the working of God,
who raised Him from the dead."

This is amazing. The Abraham's covenant
was a picture of something much greater

we are living in today, a much better
covenant.

The Abraham's covenant was a circumcision
of the foreskin,

but Christ came to not just remove
the foreskin.

He came to circumcise our hearts.
He went inside of us.

It's all about the heart.
It's going inside.

We got circumcised by the Spirit,
by Christ, when we got baptized to Christ,

where we buried not only the foreskin.
We buried the whole body

and dealt with that body,
got rid of that body that was unclean

and we rose up to a new life.

And that is the circumcision we today have.

And therefore, people today who go back
to that kind of circumcision,

are somehow saying that I reject Christ,
the baptism and everything He has done.

And therefore it is so serious
what we are seeing in the church today.

If we go to Hebrews 10, you can see
that the covenant we are now under

is a much better covenant,
it's an eternal covenant.

In Hebrews 10 we can read about
the new and the old covenant.

We can read in Hebrews 10:11:

"Day after day every priest stands
and performs his religious duties;

again and again he offers the same sacrifices,
which can never take away sins."

They could never take away sins.

But, verse 12: "But when this priest...",
and that is Jesus Christ we talk about,

"...had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,
he sat down at the right hand of God."

14: "For by one sacrifice he has made perfect
forever those who are being made holy."

By one offer - Jesus Christ.
And this is the covenant.

This is the covenant we are in.

16: "This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time (and that is now), says the Lord.

I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”

So we are now under a new covenant,
we have a new high priest

who gave one offer for all
that could remove sins.

Sitting beside God's right hand.

A covenant where He will write the laws
on our hearts and put in our mind.

A new and a better covenant.
Not the foreskin, but the heart.

So, why go back to the old laws of Moses?

Why go back to the old thing with the laws,
the sabbaths, the new moons, all the rules?

Colossians, chapter 2. There he talked
about having a life in Christ.

Collosians 2:6-7: "So then, just as you received
Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live

your lives in him, rooted and built up in him,
strengthened in the faith as you were taught..."

The whole chapter, the verses there
it's about the life in Christ.

Read it yourself. We need that.

But then he comes to verse 16 and he actually
comes to a warning.

Let no one disqualify you.
He needed to give a very, very clear warning.

You can be disqualified.
We are in a race. You can be disqualified.

How?

He continues.

Colossians 2:16: "Let therefore no man judge you
in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holy day,

or of the new moon, of of the sabbath."

17: "Which are a shadow of things to come..."

So, one of the ways we can be disqualified
from the life in Christ

is if we go back and suddenly focus on
the rules, meat and drink, and holidays,

new moons and sabbaths.

Why? Because that is all a picture.
That was all dealt with.

There was a time in the Bible, we read about,
where there were people at that time

who crept into the church, who tried at that
time to get the Gentiles away from Christ,

back under the law,

and sadly, we are seeing the same thing
today, through the whole Hebrew roots movement,

where people go back in a way we should not do.

It starts maybe very innocent, looks like
with the sabbath, holidays, the feast, the food,

and people end up getting circumcised.

Don't be disqualified.
Be careful here. You have to be careful.

Paul uses very strong words.

And do you know what the Hebrew roots people say?

Paul is a false apostle.
I've heard that. People say that out there.

When you start to go under the law
they end up disqualifying Paul

instead of listening to his advice.

And this is just what we are seeing today.

We are in a new covenant.

Moses, sabbath, keeping the laws -
it's all dealt with.

I don't say that the law of Moses is
all bad. No, it's actually very good.

If you use it correctly.

Because the law is there and has its purpose
and we need to use the law in the right way.

Paul said that to Timothy.
In 1 Timothy 1:7:

"They want to be teachers of the law, but
they do not know what they are talking about..."

That is the same today.

And then he continued in verse 8:

"We know that the law is good
if one uses it properly."

So, the law is good if you use it correctly.
If you use it the wrong way it's not good.

You have to understand
what the law is there for.

And then he continues.
1 Timothy 1:9-10:

"We also know that the law is made not for
the righteous but for lawbreakers

and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy..."
and so on, and so on, murders, sexually immoral,

homosexuals, all of that.

The law is made for those people.

Why? Because the law helps to reveal sin
so people can come to Christ.

Paul said in Romans 7:7:

"...For I would not have known what it is to covet
if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”

So Paul said: I did not know
what's stealing, lying, adultery,

all of this really was if the law did not say
what it was.

So, the law is good.
Ten Commandments are good.

If you use it the right way,
use it to make people aware of their sins.

But the Ten Commandments, the law of God,
has not been meant to be misused,

it's not for you and me today.

We are not under that law.

We died to that law
when we got buried to Christ.

That doesn't mean that we are
without a law.

We are under the law of Christ,
the Spirit in us,

and I'm going to come back to that.

Because this is what Paul was saying,
we read before. 1 Corinthians 9:21:

"To the Jews I became like a Jew... To those
under the law I became like one under the law

(though I myself am not under the law)..."

I am under the law of Christ.

Paul was not under the law.
I am not under the law.

You are not under the law.
That doesn't mean that we are without a law.

No, we are under the law of Christ.

We are here to obey Jesus.

Jesus was the prophet greater then Moses,
that was prophesied about

that we should now obey.

If you love me, Jesus said,
keep my commands.

And of course, we need to look at Christ.

It's Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ, Christ.

Look at Him, obey Him.

Why do you call me: Lord! Lord! He said,
if you don't do what I say?

Jesus did not say: Why do you call me:
Lord! Lord! if you don't do what Moses said?

No, He said: Why do you call me: Lord! Lord!
if you don't do what I say?

Let's look at Christ.
Let's look at Jesus and obey Him.

Of course you need to read
Jesus' words in context.

Like, first time He healed somebody
in Matthew 8,

when He healed a guy with leprosy,
He said this to this man: (8:4)

"See that you don’t tell anyone.
But go, show yourself to the priest

and offer the gift Moses commanded,
as a testimony to them.”

Why did He say that to that guy who
got healed, that he should go

and offer the gift Moses commanded?

Because, at that time, when Jesus
walked on earth, He was still under the law.

No, Jesus obeyed the law of Moses
when He was walking here.

To some amount.

But He actually went higher
then the law of Moses.

He came with the stronger,
more powerful, more radical law

than the law of Moses.
We're going to look at that.

But those people He spoke to at that time
were also under the law of Moses.

So what He said there: Go and give the offer
Moses have permitted -

of course we should not do that today
and that is also clear later in the Bible.

So we need to understand it in context
and read it all.

Listen to Jesus.

Listen to Paul.

Listen to the whole Bible.

Read it all.

And when we look at Christ,
we see that He is so much more radical.

And He actually took Moses law

and then He came with a new,
more radical, more stronger.

He lifted it to a new level.

He said about anger in Matthew 5:21-22:

"You have heard that it was said
to the people long ago,

‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders
will be subject to judgment.’ ...

So here He quoted Moses.
He's quoting the law.

You have heard that have been said:
You shall not murder.

But then He continued. "But I tell you..."
And then He goes into the heart.

Not the foreskin.
He goes deep, deep, deep inside of man.

If you have hate in your heart
you are a murderer.

If you say "Raca", idiot to somebody
you are doomed to hell.

He continues (Matthew 5:27-28):
“You have heard that it was said,

‘You shall not commit adultery.'
And then Jesus goes higher, deeper

into the man, into the heart.

"But I tell you that anyone who looks
at a woman lustfully

has already committed adultery
with her in his heart."

(Matt. 5:31) You have heard that it has been said,
'You will not divorce', but I tell you...

So Jesus goes higher. Why? Because
the law could not do it, but Jesus did it.

It became even more clear in Mark 10.

He talked with Pharisees and then they
asked Him a question:

“Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

And Jesus said: “What did Moses command you?”

And they replied: “Moses permitted a man to write
a certificate of divorce and send her away.”

So, that was what Moses allowed.
Moses said: You can do this and this.

But then Jesus came.

And then Jesus said something else.

“It was because your hearts were hard
that Moses wrote you this law,”

but at the beginning it was not like that.

What is happening here?

Moses, the law of Moses,
about divorce,

the law of Moses about murder,

adultery, anger, all of that,

the law of Moses was not perfect.

The law of Moses was
a kind of compromise

because of the hardness of heart.

But Jesus came with a more serious law.

But now only a law where now
you could not look with lust,

you could not have anger in your heart;

He also came with a solution right away.

He gave us a new heart.

He took out that stone heart
that was the problem at that time.

And in Christ He did not only circumcise
the foreskin.

In Christ He circumcised the heart.

He came in, and we put away
the whole old man

and we rose up to a new law.

To a new life.

Not the law of Moses,
but the law of Christ.

And that is what it is.

We are not without a law.

We are not lawless,

but we are under a new law,
a new priest, a new covenant,

something much better,
something that can take away our sins.

Something that can make a man
completely new.

And the same, and that is the problem
with all the things.

All of that is just a shadow.

There are people today
who want to keep the feast.

Oh, we need to keep the feast, we need to
keep the feast, we need to keep the feast,

but the feasts are a shadow
of what is now here.

Let's take Passover.

We read in Exodus how Moses came,
was a picture of Christ,

said: Let my people go.
Pharaoh - picture of Satan, said: No.

I don't want to. There were miracles.
And then there were firstborn

who were going to die, and they offered
the lamb, who was a picture of Christ,

and the blood came over the door,
and death went in

and the firstborn, picture of Christ,
died, and out of that blood

they were saved out of Egypt.

That is a beautiful picture.
Of what?

Of Christ, Christ, Christ and Christ.

It's a picture of Jesus.

Until that day Jesus was on earth,
year after year after year after year,

since Passover, a year after year,
they stopped and they were remembering

Passover.
They were looking back at Passover.

But then Jesus came
and established something new.

He also celebrated Passover.

But now He gave Passover
a total new meaning.

He took over.

1 Corinthians 11:23-25:
"For I received from the Lord

what I also passed on to you:
The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed,

took bread and when he had given thanks,
he broke it and said,

“This is my body, which is for you;
do this in remembrance of me.”

In the same way, after supper he took the cup,
saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood;

do this, whenever you drink it,
in remembrance of me.”

He took over Passover.

He did not say:

Take this bread, drink that cup,
do this in remembrance of the Jews,

how they were saved out of Egypt.

No. He took over and said:
Do it in remembrance of me.

But now there are people who try
to capture the Passover

and say: No, no, no.
We need to go back, we need to celebrate

how the Jews were saved
out of Egypt.

And in the whole focus, it's good to know
the story, it's good to know the background,

but we don't take the communion to celebrate
how the Israelites were saved out of Egypt.

We are celebrating Christ.
Christ and Christ alone.

He said: in remembrance of me,
not in remembrance of the Passover.

Why? Because that was all a shadow.
Now we are living in a new time.

And there are people today who'd rather
want to remember this then remember Christ.

There are people today who come in to our church,
who'd rather want us to keep the law of Moses

instead of obeying Christ
and what He has commanded.

John 14:15. Jesus said:
“If you love me, keep my commands."

He did not say:
If you love me, keep Moses'.

He said:
“If you love me, keep my commands."

Keep my laws, not Moses'.
Keep my laws.

There are people who read those verse today

because they've seen a lot of videos on YouTube
of people who try to get them under the law,

who somehow read those verse:
“If you love me, keep my commands."

So they think: My commands.
I need to keep the law of Moses.

No, no, no. That was another thing.
That was another law that is dealt with.

That is a shadow of the time
and the time we are living in.

Keep my commands.
And then He continues in next verses,

talking about the Spirit He will send to us.

And then He talks later in verse 21.
He said:

"Whoever has my commands and keeps them
is the one who loves me."

Hallelujah!

"The one who loves me
will be loved by my Father,

and I too will love them
and show myself to them.”

It's all about Jesus.

My commands again.
Not Moses'.

And He continued.
John 14:23-24:

"Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.

My Father will love them, and we will come
to them and make our home with them.

Anyone who does not love
me will not obey my teaching.

These words you hear are not my own;
they belong to the Father who sent me."

And then He continues about the Holy Spirit.
He said in John 12:26:

"But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name,

will teach you all things and will remind you
of everything Moses has said to you."

No. "...remind you of everything
I have said to you."

It's about Jesus' words.

And if we just go back to Christ and
read His words,

you would not end up keeping the sabbath.

Man was not created for sabbath,
but sabbath for man.

But it was a shadow of the rest
we now have in Christ.

It's okay to take a day of rest.
I'm not against that. I think it's important.

But we are not under that law anymore.

The sabbath was a part of the covenant.
The Ten Commands, like circumcision was

a part of the Abraham's covenant,
the Ten Commands of Moses,

the sabbath was a part of this,
but we are not under any of those anymore.

We are under a new and better covenant.

Look at Christ.
Do you then want to keep the food rules?

If you look at Christ, Mark 7:14, He said:
"Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.

Nothing outside a person can defile them
by going into them..."

That was what Jesus said on the food rules.

He also said, when He sent His disciples out:
'Eat everything they serve.'

Why? Because it's about the heart.
It's about the heart.

What about eating pork?

There is a reason He said that.
Yeah, it's not healthy.

I don't think it's healthy.

In that way.

I would say, we as a family, we don't eat
pork at home at that way,

or in everyday life. It's not what we buy.

But the Bible is very clear.
Eat what they serve.

When we are out eating,
when we are out meeting people,

when we get invited in houses,
we eat what they serve.

Why? Because I'm not under that law.

Yes, we take a day off.

It's good to take a day off.

It's good when I've been working six days
and then take one day off.

I need that break, on and off.

If I've been working six days
I take a day off.

But one day, other day,
what day it is - I'm not under the law.

I'm not there to keep the law.

I'm under something new.

The law of Christ.
The Spirit in us.

And it's really about walking in the Spirit.
The life in the Spirit.

And it becomes very, very more clear
in Romans 8:1-2, what Paul is saying here:

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus,

because through Christ Jesus
the law of the Spirit..."

not the law of Moses,
"...through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit

who gives life has set you free
from the law of sin and death."

In Christ there is no condemnation.
Why?

Because in Christ the law of the Spirit,
the law of Christ in my heart,

the circumcision in my heart,
the new creation has set me free

from the law of sin and death.

The law of Moses brought sin and death.

Could not save us.

Could just reveal sin.

And he continues in verse 3:
"For what the law was powerless to do

because it was weakened by the flesh,
God did by sending his own Son

in the likeness of sinful flesh
to be a sin offering.

And so he condemned sin in the flesh."
And then he continues in verse 4:

"in order that the righteous requirement
of the law might be fully met in us,

who..." Try to keep the law? No.

"...in us who..."
Try to live according to the flesh? No.

"...in us who do not live according to the flesh
but according to the Spirit."

What we read here is that Christ came
to deal with the flesh,

in order that the righteous requirement
of the law

may be fully met in us who walk according
to the Spirit, and not according to the flesh."

The requirement of the law is being met,
not by us by keeping the rules,

but being met in us, when we walk according
to the Spirit and not according to the flesh.

My friends, the Christian life is easy.
Listen to the Spirit.

Listen to the new heart in you.

Let God transform your life
and let the Spirit work in your heart.

When I gave my life to Christ,
I have never opened the Bible.

I did not know if there was a new
and an old testament.

I knew nothing about the Bible.

But what happened?

The Spirit came into me.

He transformed me.

I went home.

I looked at things,
unclean things I was used to look at.

But when I did it: Oh, lust, oh no.
I couldn't do it anymore.

Why?

I was circumcised in my heart.

My life was changed.

I was used to lying.
I lied again. Oh...

I blasphemed God.
Oh...

I had other gods.
There were things that meant... Oh...

My life got changed.

And I saw it in my life
how the Spirit in me changed my heart.

I've seen it in so many, many thousands
of people who experienced the new birth,

who experienced the new heart,
who experienced the law of Christ

written on their harts,
who started to live a new life,

who started a new walk with God,

a walk of sanctification, holiness,
sanctification,

where our lives have been transformed,

where the requirement of the law
is being fulfilled in us

because we walked by the Spirit
and not by the flesh.

It's walking by the Spirit.

And suddenly we start to live
a changed life.

And do you know what?

The Holy Spirit convicted me about sin,
about my heart, again and again.

The Holy Spirit convicted me about
lust, about unclean thoughts,

about blaspheming God,
about talking bad.

The Holy Spirit has convicted me
of everything we read in Jesus' words.

But the Holy Spirit has never said to me,
if I eat some pork: Oh, spit it out.

No, if I did sin, I felt it in my heart.
I needed to repent.

But if I eat a meat and it was pork,
I did not do like that. Why?

It's not sin.

The Holy Spirit convicted me
of so many things,

but never the sabbath.

I've never been convicted in my heart
if I was driving my car

or doing work, and it was a Saturday.

Oh, I got convicted!
No.

Why? Because it's not that law
that is written in my heart.

It's not that law that's written
in your heart.

All of you who are born again,

all of you who got the Spirit of God
inside of you,

you know it, you have felt it.

You have felt how your heart have been
transformed,

you have felt how the law of Christ
has been written in your heart.

You have got a new heart, not a stony heart.
You've got a new heart.

It's not about just murdering.
It's about not being angry.

It's about not having hate.
It's about not saying 'idiot' to somebody.

It's not just about committing adultery.
It's also that.

But it's about not looking with lust.

We all felt it. If you look at something
on the internet, you should not look at it.

You felt it was bad.

Listen to that conviction.

Walk by the Spirit
and stop living in that life.

Stop living in sin.

You've felt it.

But you have never felt anything in your heart
when it comes to keep the sabbath.

You have never felt anything in your heart
when it comes to keep the food rules

or the feast. Why?
Because we are not under that law.

It's not written in our hearts.

But now there are people who come and say:
No, no, you are under the law.

You need to do it, you need to do it,
you need to do it.

And suddenly, the condemnation
we were free from, walking by the Spirit,

starts to come over us
and people start to feel condemned again.

They start to feel rules.
They start to feel laws.

Oh, I have to keep, I have to keep,
I have to keep, I have to keep...

And the freedom there was in Christ
is disappearing

and they end up under the law
and under slavery,

and some people end up denying Christ
and what He has done for them.

So that's why I do this video.

And I really, really, really, really
encourage you -

keep it simple.

Look at Christ. Look at Christ.
Look at Christ.

"If you love me keep my commands."
That is what He says.

And Jesus has enough to keep -
for us.

There are so many laws than 630
Moses came with.

Jesus has said so much more.

If you love Him keep His commands.

Go out and heal the sick.

Go out preach the gospel.

Go out make disciples,

baptizing them in water,

baptizing them with the Holy Spirit.

But those Jewish roots people who
try to keep you away from that,

back to the law of Moses,
do they keep Jesus' commands?

Do they go out and preach the gospel,
heal the sick, cast out demons,

and baptize people in water
and Holy Spirit? No.

Many people I know
who were doing those things,

they don't do it anymore. Why?

Because they are not focused on
keeping the commands of Jesus anymore.

They came away from Christ
and start to keep the rules.

Focus on Christ.
Obey Him.

That was the video I wanted to make.
I hope this video has helped you,

has blessed you. I know there was a lot
of teaching compressed in a very short time.

Share this video with people out there,
people you know,

who's getting influenced by
the whole Hebrew thing,

who are trying to come back under the laws
of sabbath, and feast, and food rules, etc.

Share this video with them
and let them experience freedom.

For all of you out there, I have so much
more teaching, teaching about this.

On the online Pioneer School,
I have 28 lessons on the online Pioneer School.

I encourage you to see all the 28 lessons.

In lesson no. 15, for example, I talk about
the new covenant and the old covenant,

talk about that under the new covenant
we also need to fear God,

because He's there also
a consuming fire.

I talk about so many things
in the online Pioneer School.

I encourage you, see that.
Share this video. Keep it simple.

Keep to Christ.
Don't let anyone come in and disqualify you.

Don't go under the law.
Don't go under the old law.

You have put away the old man.
You love Jesus and you keep His commands.
