Bellville - The New man

0:00De revalatie maakt een beetje om de nieuwe teken en we want we want we want we want we want to use some Old Testament scriptures today for a change. Romans 12 verse 1 and 2, it says, I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercy of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service and be not conformed to this world, but be he transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove or experience what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Let me read verse 1 again. May times through this you know the church can be so condemned through verse 1 and then feel a little bit better in verse 2. Verse 1 says, I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercy of God, that you present your body a living sacrifice, holy acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Now how do we present our bodies a

1:02living sacrifice unto Jesus Christ? Because sometimes you can think to be a living sacrifice unto Jesus Christ is to continually sacrifice all the things that you don't want to do or that you want to do. Now you say okay which is now sinful things. Now I'm going to bite the lip, use my world power and I'm not going to do that wrong thing and I'm just going to try hard and that is now presenting my body a holy living sacrifice unto Jesus Christ. Now that is not a holy living sacrifice unto Jesus Christ. The Bible says that is an abomination to God. It's not a living sacrifice. A living sacrifice of your body is when you come and you say and if you understand the context of Romans 6, 7 and 8, which is some of the most important scriptures in the Bible, he says our bodies, he is in Lachan van Jau, van der Jum onereveitset, dan manifestierzonder. So when you under the law sin will manifest in your body, but now we are presenting our bodies to Christ by not living under the law but under grace.

2:07That's presenting your body a living sacrifice. Otherwise you're not a living sacrifice, although you think I am sacrificing all the time. What you do is you sacrifice and you give your body unto the gospel of grace and you don't yield your members unto sin. How do you give your body so that sin can manifest in your body? You start to serve God by the law. Romans 7. Now for those of you that are new here, I hope the stuff makes sense. What the Bible teaches is that when you are the law was not given to make a man righteous, the vet was nighagia, as a righlein would whom I licked the liveny. The law has never been a guideline unto how to live holy. The only guideline that the law ever was was unto Christ. That's what it says. The Bible says we are under governance, the Jewish people were under governance and tutors and told Christ, pointing to

3:10Christ. So if you want to use the law for any guideline, it should guide you to the finish to work of Jesus Christ or you're not using the law for one of its purposes. The other purpose of the law was to point out sin in a man to show that no flesh is justified before gone. No flesh and that all of mankind needs a savior. And there's one thing that people don't understand is that and that is that the law in written format was not given to the Gentiles. It was given to the Jews. It was not given to the Gentiles. The law was given in another format to the Gentiles which and that was the law written on our hearts because you can go now to people that don't believe in Jesus at all, it's never believed in Jesus. You'll find you're not allowed to take the the the chief's wife. You're not allowed to do that and you're not allowed to steal a chief's stuff. It's wrong and you must pray to a God because laws that's written on the heart because when Adam

4:12sinned that law was written on the heart of all men, the Jews only had it in a written format. The purpose of that was to manifest sin in the life of a person. To bring sin forth, the reason why God gave the law is so that this is radical, especially if you're full of first time, but it was so that you can sin. The Ved was a key and many doled it, they consomed it. Remain as he ever said, the Ved was a key. Remain as he said, I find that there's nothing. The Ved was a key and so were the son of the Mirkan board. The law was given that sin might abound. We cannot, so when we present our bodies, a living sacrifice, we say I sacrifice this flesh. I give this flesh unto the gospel of God's grace. I don't give this flesh unto the law. And then it talks about how we will be changed. It says be transformed. How will we be transformed? Because under the the Jewish

5:16system and the old system, we presented our bodies a living sacrifice unto the law. But now we can be transformed by having a new mind about what the law really is and what grace really is and who Jesus Christ really is today. I've got good news for you today. Jesus is not a Jew. He is not a Jew. The Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5, he says that we relate it to Christ according to the flesh, but not so anymore. He's the representative of the human race. So Jesus verdient worthy means dumb. Because Jesus, he means dumb verdient worthy, can you know what and omglue this what Christ is besit from day. Gratis on fa. If God wants to give you righteousness as a gift, what righteousness do you think will he give you? He only possesses one righteousness and that is his own. Where else will he

6:21find righteousness? For he is God. If God wants to give you a spirit, what spirit can he give you but his own spirit? For he only possesses one spirit. That's all he has. If God wants to give you holiness as a free gift, what holiness will he give you except his holiness? Because that's all he's got. So when God came and washed us, cleansed us, made us holy, perfected us in Christ, he gave us a gift to us, the righteousness of God. No other righteousness because there is no other righteousness. That's the only righteousness there is. The only other righteousness that came into being was the righteousness which was by the law which you know man could attain them to. Amen. So in Dramas 12 it says, let us have a new mind. It says, and be not conformed to this world, but be transformed. Now I

7:22want to just say this to you, when you're treating the Bible world, it doesn't talk just about the world system like in, you know, the thieves out there. It's not what it talks about. It talks about the world, it doesn't just talk about the planet. The Bible language for world is justification by your works. That's the world. Because it says, don't be conformed to this world. What world? This world in which the Jewish people were living that time. The world that said, you need to go to the temple, you need to do this, you need to do this, you need to do this to be the people of God. You must realize that the whole world, the gospel that was towards the whole world was the message that you need to be circumcised to be a child of God. The Jews never believed that Gentiles were children of God. They were almost like in the label of animals. It is like a prisoner one church. It is

8:27the, that's where we get the word Kaffa from. It's an unbeliever. It's from Arabic and Jewish and from Hebrew. It's a Kaffa, a person that doesn't believe. That's where we get it from. And that's what people, that's what they thought about Gentiles. So they said, that was the hardest, that world system work. They said, let's not be conformed to this world, but let's be transformed by thinking differently. And we are presenting our bodies a living sacrifice unto God and unto Jesus Christ. Amen. So we cannot, you know, we are alive right now and this every day we give this to the gospel of grace. Amen. So I want to say to you, you don't, you don't sacrifice to strange gods. Don't sacrifice to strange gods. The, the, the, in all things it says, don't bring strange fire before God. You don't bring strange fire before

9:29God. You know, flesh that's now sacrificed to this God and now into the gospel of grace. Then we sacrifice to the Lord, then we sacrifice to grace. Now we only sacrifice, we give our lives to the gospel of Jesus Christ because it's the only life there is. Hallelujah. Thank you, Father. Right, the next verse that we can go to, second Corinthians chapter five verse 14. That's a little bit about the sacrifice thing there again. Do it Corinthians five fast, 14? Let's not do what Paul says. You know the scripture very well. Jesus says, for the love of Christ constrains us because we are of this judgment or of this mind that if one died for all, then we're all dead. So this is a perfect, wonderful scripture. That means when Jesus died for all, when he died for the Jew, when he died for the Gentile, when he died for the, the Zulu and the South African and whatever, when

10:32he died, then all the Zulu's died. The Zulu nation died. The South African nation died. The, the, the, the nation of Israel died. Everybody would do it. Okay? So that we don't live unto this old system anymore. That we live unto a new system, verse 15, and that he died for all that they which lived should from now on not live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them and rose again. Wherefore that's why from now on we know man after the flesh. Now many times we think we know no man after the flesh, we don't think of his sins, but that's not what it talks about. He says, we don't relate to any person as a Jew or an Israelite or a heathen. We have got only one point of reference for all man and there is Jesus Christ. When Jesus died, the your effort to be like God died. And that's how we relate to all people. If I go and preach in the U.S. tomorrow for a flight,

11:33I can't go and relate to the Americans as Americans. I can't because if I do so, I'm in the flesh. That is living in the flesh. You can preach a wonderful thing saying, you know, God has got something special for America. That's a lie. God doesn't have anything special for America and God doesn't have anything special for South Africa. God doesn't have anything special for you. He's got one special thing for all people which is the very same thing, which is Jesus and what he did for us. What is effect? There is a resurrected Christ, which means peace in the presence of God Almighty. That no man can fear any more. And the gospel that we need a preach and believe is that God justifies ungodly people. That God is under a fervor. That's what the Americans say. He blesses the sinner. If you can't believe that God blesses a sinner, you cannot be saved. It's

12:38impossible because you have to come and come to a God that say, God, thank you that you are merciful to me, a sinner. How will you be saved outside of that? It's impossible. That's the faith that we can grab a hold of and make use of. Okay. We're from now on, we know no man after the flesh. Yes, though we have known Christ after the flesh. Yet now, well, from now on, we know him like that no more. Therefore, if any man is in Christ, he's a new creature. Hallelujah. The end of all racism. I'm not talking about Afrikaanse apartheid. I'm talking about the core of all racism which started between the Jews and the Gentiles. That has ended forevermore. And we've got a new life right now, a new mindset that our bodies, we can never again give our bodies unto a law system ever again. We can never relate to any people group on the basis of the law again. You can never relate to

13:42yourself on the basis of the law again. There's only one point of reference. It's the resurrected Jesus, which was the plan from the beginning until now. You know, but this morning, before I preached, I spoke to somebody, one of my friends in America. And you said to me, that we get this dispensationalism these days. You know, there was a dispensation of law and then the dispensation of grace. And now you get all these dispensations. That's not true. There's only one dispensation. You can't even call dispensation because dispensation speaks of an end will come to something. There's only one way that God had from before the foundation of the world. That was grace. Grace is not the new thing, it's the oldest thing. The message of God's love, it wasn't, well, God was first an angry God and then he decided to become friendly now and now is given as Jesus. No, no. God was a God of love from the beginning. The Bible says in Romans chapter one that before the foundation of the world, God decided we will be perfected

14:46in Christ. God predestined before the foundation of the world, the only way that you will ever be holy before Him is in Jesus. No other way. Then man came, Adam came and he brought the new thing which was called the law system. Then God took this new plan of man out of the way so he could stick with his authenticated plan which is Jesus Christ, the grace and message. So I don't think you know we come with this new message of grace. The other things are new things. This is from the beginning. John, first John, it says, I write to you which was from the beginning. Talks about the message of God's love for you. So the love was from the beginning. God's grace is from the beginning. So when we come to God we represent our bodies, a living sacrifice into this gospel and nothing and I want to say this to you so many times we hear this or hear

15:49that and we've got a little bit of a something that doesn't work out perfectly here or doesn't work out perfectly there and we want to doubt this gospel of grace. I want you to think you don't have to doubt this. This is the only truth there is. And even if it looks as if you can doubt it here as if it doesn't work you can continue to believe in the unconditional love of God because if there's something you don't understand today you will understand it tomorrow. Amen. If you see a stand five child and he goes and looks at the methadune university he will think what he believes is not true. He will say but what am I busy with? Or if there's a calculation that he cannot make with a knowledge he has which is received from his teachers and stand at five it doesn't make that everything that is learnt from grade one wrong. Amen. So I want to say that you there's one thing you can know for sure and we've learnt that from small. Lever Jesus.

16:56Lever Jesus. God is a God of love. Now until you that's a thing that jails in your heart. In your heart you know God loves. You know that every person knows that and as Adam when he sinned the law was written on the hearts of all people in the same way when Jesus rose from the dead upon the hearts of all people was written something like grace. They must be something like grace. They must be something like love. They must be something like forgiveness. They must be something that says not by my works. That's why when we preach it people believe it and they say it's in my heart. Hallelujah. Right let's go to a wonderful verse in Isaiah 45. Isaiah 45. Just talk about what Jesus has done and how we give our bodies as a living sacrifice unto that and have a new mind. Listen to this verse. Verse 5. I am the Lord and there's none else.

18:08There is no God beside me. I good at you, though you have not known me. Isn't this wonderful? Before we even knew Jesus he's good at us with a message of righteousness, spate for us sons. Verse 6. And that they may know from the rising of the sun and from the west there is none beside me. I am the Lord God and there's none else. Listen to this verse. I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create evil. I the Lord God do these things. Now that's a nice verse. I make peace and I create evil. I the Lord God do these things. And so many times we want to present our body to a God that says he creates light and we say I give myself to the God of light but there's also a darkness part in God. So I must also give myself to that part. It doesn't sound so good. It's like we've learned all the time. It's like we teach our children. Listen man. You can't, if I see anyhow bear with me,

19:12can you do for me? Praise for me. That's how it works in this world. You know by my presence that got us into the first thing they do. So the one said now he doesn't want to work today. So the other one did the work. So he got all the money. You can't now share the money with the other one. I mean he worked. So you can't just have part in only the good. You must have part in both sides. That's what we learn in this world. And that's how many people interpret scriptures like that. That God has got a good side and God has got a bad side. This God is a God of love but he's also a just God. He's a fair God. He's a God that hates sin and we need to be sure that we must now, if we want the good part of God, you must take the bad part of God as well. And then scripture is like this where I mean this is what it says, I form the light and I create darkness. I make peace and create evil. I the Lord do these things. Now what does he mean there? He says here I form the light and when I make light,

20:19darkness is created. Okay? This is a beautiful. Then he says listen to this, I make peace and then I create evil. Let me give you a good example. If you go into a church with I believe you baptized babies and you go in there and you say listen, you don't need to baptize babies anymore. We baptized grownups. You're making a lot of evil there. You're creating evil there, isn't it? If I go to a business and I tell all the slaves in the business, if there were still slaves, I tell them listen, I just want to tell you now 100 years ago there was a law passed that the slavery is not legal anymore. You are all free. I make peace but I create a lot of evil because of that man under which

21:20they work. In that system evil is created but I brought peace. Now let's just see how the scripture explains itself. Now listen to what it says in verse 7, I form light and I create darkness. I'm by peace and create evil. I the Lord do these things. Now it's going to create the light and it's going to make the peace. Drop down your heavens from above and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open. Let them bring forth salvation and let righteousness spring up together and I the Lord have created it. Isn't that also? Well unto him now he's created the peace and he's created the and he's brought the light. Now it talks about the evil. Woe unto him that strives with his maker. Let the potards strive with the potards of the earth. Shall the slaves say unto him that fashioned him what maker style or your work has no hands? Now that sounds very complicated but what happens here is God sees. I make what is good

22:25and when I make what is good evil is also a byproduct of that. I bring light and then darkness is a byproduct of that. Let me tell you how. I speak to the skies Jesus and I say let it pour down righteousness on all people. That is the light he brings and the peace he brings. Then talks about the darkness. Woe unto him that strives with his maker saying why have you made me like this? Your work has got no hands. Now what he says is the work you do doesn't need my work. Now you're striving with God that you made me like this. Oh God you've made me righteous, free from my works. Now how can that be? How can you make that is the evil that comes forth? That's the evil that is created when light comes forth. So God says to all of us today let's

23:29give our lives to that which is good. Let's give our lives to the gospel of God's grace. And even if there's a message that looks at it contradicts because God is a righteous God and God is a just God and God is a God that hates sin and God is all those things that doesn't make sense right now. We can know one thing for sure and that is that when God brought forth his glory, when he brought forth his light there will be darkness and that is those who strived with the maker. And so how could you create the Bible says can and man can a nation be born in a day? Can a nation be born in a day? When Jesus was born from the dead a new nation was born. Hallelujah. Isn't that beautiful? That's the gospel. When we believe this message of grace we find the power of the gospel living inside us. We find the power of the Holy Spirit living inside us.

24:34How will we live a holy life? By being mindful of what he has done by not striving with our maker. You know sometimes we strive with our maker. You know we look at our situation we say but my finances isn't blessed. My health isn't blessed. How could you now say I'm healed? I'm righteous. It's impossible your work has got no hands. Something must manifest here. Something must work here and striving with my maker. It cannot be. Just how will you strive with your maker? That's how he has made you. He's made you righteous in Christ Jesus free from your works. If you argue with that you're busy arguing with God. If you want to add anything to that to that you are bringing for darkness. There's only one message and that is God created us in Christ Jesus and made us holy. Yes but God hates sin. God hates sin so much that he couldn't stand it anymore. Therefore he wiped it from the earth in the death of Jesus Christ. Because he cannot look at our sin anymore.

25:35He doesn't want to see it before he took it away. The only sin that there is is rejecting the fact that he made you righteous free from your works. That is sin before God. It's like I said about the Jewish nation and Israel. I said why will we sin and tempt God by teaching the Jews that there are special people to God? You are tempting God because God came and upgraded them in Jesus Christ. That's anti-Semitism. If you are against, if you are teaching Israel he's special because of his flesh. That's what it is but God came and said listen I make you a new type of a person. When you believe in me you are of my flesh. You are of my bone. You are of my life. You are of you're a new man in Christ. Why do we want to why can we as Gentiles

26:36have freedom in Christ but they must live by the flesh? That's unfair. Jesus came for the whole world including Israel. So we cannot what's the skrimmeneer? The skrimmeneer against Israel by saying you are special because of your flesh but we are special because of Christ. Repent believe the gospel of God's grace. Hallelujah. That's it. There's only one reference to everybody and that is Jesus. So here he says let righteousness, let righteousness rain down from heaven. But will will you now that's created into what Christ has done? Now argue with God. There's read on. This is the Lord the Holy One of Israel and this Master asked me of things to come concerning my sons and concerning the work of my hands. Come on give me.

27:37I have made the earth and created man upon it. I even my hands have stretched out the heavens and their hosts have I commanded. I have raised him up in righteousness and I will direct all his ways. I shall build my city and issue let go my captives. Not for price nor reward said the Lord of hosts. Hallelujah. He says your eye will it righteousness rain down from us and when Jesus comes forth, when Jesus he is, when when God looked at Christ he showed the righteousness of the whole world in one man, in one man. And now we've got this gospel to proclaim to people when they believe this gospel, the power of that gospel manifests in their lives. But it's available unto all. It's available unto all. That's what the Bible says in Romans 2 verse 20 to 23. So clearly

28:37he says this gospel is unto all and upon all who believe. So it's unto all and upon all who believe. That's why people need to believe this. But we are preaching righteousness unto all through one man. Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. And we are presenting our bodies to Jesus. We shall never present our bodies to the message of Satan. Remember when I said last time, if God came and writes the law on our hearts and I will just explain this a little bit, you can understand. If God comes and he would write the team commandments on your heart like we believe the Bible says in Hebrews 8 and Hebrews 10 he would be working for Satan and Satan would have conquered God because God didn't come to write the law of Moses on our hearts. The Bible says God says I will write my law on your heart. Not the law of Moses. He says to the Pharisees your law says

29:41but then he says a new commandment I will bring. I will write my law on their hearts. What is God's law that through one man we've been made righteous? Hallelujah. That's God's law and what Jesus Christ has done for us. That's God's law that he will write on our hearts and in our minds. So let us be transformed by the renewal of our mind as you get your mind renewed into the truth about who we are who Jesus Christ is. What is done we present our bodies as a living sacrifice unto Him. We cannot present our bodies until anything else people. We are presenting our bodies unto this gospel of grace. When I go to Tanzania I am presenting my body as a living sacrifice for the gospel of Jesus Christ by only knowing Christ and He crucified amongst them. When I go to America I only notice when you go to your work when you speak to your family

30:42when you speak to the people that work for you or the boss that you work for you've got one point of reference when it comes to the gospel and that is Jesus Christ and Him crucified. What does that mean? Him crucified meaning the law man that related to God on the basis of his works has died. Amen. That's the only point of reference. Isn't that a wonderful scripture? Isn't that a wonderful scripture? Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Let's just just throw something else in your Romans 9. Just go to Romans 9. Just look at the effect of what Christ has done. And then we're going to end up with two very nice chapters there. Romans 9 didn't plan this but let's see how it comes through. Let's read from verse 1. I said the truth in Christ, I lie not my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost that I have great heaviness

31:48and continual sorrow in my heart for I could wish that myself were a cursed from Christ for my brethren my brethren my kin to men according to the flesh. So what are you saying here is I wish that I could be a cursed and Israel blessed. That's what he was saying. If I could be cursed and they could know the gospel I would have allowed that. Now I don't know if I'm at that point but that's where where Paul was. But what he was actually saying was that Israel's cursed. That's what he was writing there. He said they are cursed. Man why are they cursed? Because the cursed is everyone that's under the law. And now the church wants to keep them there. Repent. You receive grace for free but you want to keep them under the law. You murdering a nation. The people that God loves as much as the Zulu and the Khosa.

32:51How can we kill a nation through our gospel? What have they done wrong against us that we think that they must be justified by the flesh and we can be justified by grace. It's craziness. It is presenting your body as a living sacrifice unto Moses because only by the law of Moses was Israel seen as a special nation. But if you go to any other law the law that people the far east had. Israel wasn't special. It was by their law. That's the only thing that made them special. Now if you continue with that law you are presenting yourself as a sacrifice unto the Lord again. I give my life for this gospel. My flesh, my body, I make available. This is not giving my life as I make my body available for the law.

33:51We Christ died for us. And in Him we live and move and have our being. How can we make our bodies available for anything else but to truth in Jesus Christ concerning every area of life? Like I said so many times with those of you that are new here. We cannot make our bodies available for the law when it comes to finances. Saying well I believe that we've got Jesus for free. We've got Holy Spirit for free. Righteousness and everything for free. But if you don't die the God cannot bless you. It doesn't make sense. It's not the gospel. Amen. Righteous 5 of verse 2 that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I wish that I myself were a cursed from Christ for my brethren. My Kinsman according to the flesh. So the moment he speaks about Israel he says I'm talking in the flesh now. This is flesh. Who are Israelites? To whom pertains the adoption? Now that adoption just quickly there

34:56talks about when God first went to them. The glory talks about the mountain. The governance, the law that was given. The given of the law. The governance and the giving of the law on the mountain. And the service of God and the promises. Now listen I don't want to explain the whole verse there. Who's now listen. Who's are the fathers and whom as concerning the flesh Christ came. Who is overall God blessed forever. So what he says is listen. Here are the Jewish people Israel. God came and he and and they were the people that God spoke to first. God gave the governance. God was on the mountain. Let them out gave the law of Moses and all those type of things. Blessed is Jesus who came through them as pertaining to the flesh. Now verse 6 not as though the Word of God had taken no effect. So here the next verse he says this is who they are but let's talk about the effect of the Word of God on them. For they are not all Israel which are of

36:02Israel. So what he was saying is a new Israel was born in Jesus Christ. The effect that came in Jesus was a new Israel was born which are us. Paul writes so beautifully and you know many people say we pray for the peace of Israel. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Paul prayed like that. He says peace upon the Israel of God. Who's the Israel of God? It's us who believe. A Romans have a two verse study. Who? It says who is a Jew but he that is circumcised in heart. They believe upon Jesus Christ. So people I want to tell you when it comes to Israel and we are bombarded with this all the time. We cannot give our bodies a living sacrifice and our minds a living sacrifice and to the law and discriminate against the whole nation. That's been suffering for so long. If you go and read Romans chapter 9 in context it says that God chose to

37:04harden the heart of Pharaoh by his choice. God chose to bless Jacob above Israel and God hated Jesus. That was and God hated Jesus but bless Jacob. When they were in the mother's womb before they could do anything right or wrong and then he says he could hide some vessels for honor and some for dishonor and if you go and read Romans 9 it says that Israel was chosen a nation for dishonor as the cursed people. Go and read it. Go and read Romans 9 for they were those that were under that law. Now we want to keep them there. Shame on every man that called Israel, Israel. We cannot present as the church and the living body of Jesus Christ our bodies as a sacrifice

38:05and to Moses ever again. For God loves people too much. The same love that it has for us as Christians, us as Gentiles. It has for Israel. For the same way of salvation is for them. Romans chapter 1 Paul says I wish my prayer for Israel is that they might be saved. What does that mean? They not say. But now we come and we labour so hard thinking that by calling people something according to the flesh we're going to receive blessedness from God. I don't know if you familiar with our teachings. If you bless Israel God's going to bless you. You're not going to be deceived and the problem is instead of preaching the gospel to Israel

39:05if you get hold of a Jew priest the gospel of grace to him. If he accepts the message hallelujah if he doesn't dust off your feet like the Bible says and continue a guy will send somebody else to him. It's not how work to get anybody saved. It's not how work or vision to change anybody. I want to tell you if you come here my vision is not to change you. You say about my vision is I want to change. Let not change be your vision but let Christ be your vision and you'll find the new life of Christ living in you and you can make the calculation. Christ or my old life consciousness of change equals I don't change because if it could have changed you would have. You wouldn't have run to another place to help you to change because you can't change that's why you want another place. So the other thing is it is my life with no change but a consciousness of Christ seeing Christ

40:06life in me equals I've changed. So our focus is not try to change. Like I said so so many times my vision is not a change in my wife. Her vision is not a change in me but we find that we change all the time. As an effect of what is in the hearts hallelujah amen. So the gospel has got effect the power of the gospel you know if you look at South Africa the the the small thing that happened in history is a small thing where the apartheid law was taken away is known into the furthest coasts of Canada I've been there they speak of it I've been to Tanzania wherever I go they spoke speak about this heroic deed of Nelson Mandela. That's what they see and that the change of that law and the taking away of that law had an effect to the point that in one day a new nation was born when that law was taken away but that can

41:13never be compared to the taking away of the real law where a new man was born in Christ. With his no more Jew Gentile man woman slave of free but all is one in Christ hallelujah hallelujah how can we ever give our bodies as a sacrifice unto the law we cannot we give our bodies as a living sacrifice and to the gospel by which we are saved and we will never know life look down on Israel by calling them special because they're a certain nation. That's degrading them man is like bring up your past all the time you know when I go to Tanzania and they call me are you those bura they say burs they say what language do you speak I say now my my mother

42:19tongue is Afrikaans isn't that the language of the oppressor I don't want to hear that but now for Israel must all time hear they Israel Israel the people who murdered the prophets and even Jesus Christ we cannot live by the law anymore it kills people it kills people and so much fear has come to the body of Christ because of Israel because all of a sudden we look at something in the flesh listen to me we become fleshly we look at something in the flesh and then you want to make spiritual sense out of fleshly people they don't even believe in Jesus it doesn't make sense it doesn't make gospel sense the only sense there is in the world concerning any nation is the representation of Jesus Christ there's the only sense the only thing that will make sense

43:21when it comes to Israel or any nation is they must believe in Jesus and be saved they since has been removed hallelujah let's go to Isaiah 40 as I said now 40 I think I read this last time I'm not sure but let's just this blesses me we're talking about the New Jerusalem the new Israel us the people of God this is the gospel we supposed to preach it's comforting my people says the Lord speak comfortably to Jerusalem and cry unto her that her warfare is accomplished that her iniquity is pardoned for she has received of the Lord's hand double for all lessons now it explains how they received and the whole thing it says the voice of him that Christ in the

44:21wilderness prepare you the way of the Lord make straight in the desert a highway for our God every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be made low and the crooked shall be made straight and the rough places plain and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed I listen to this year he says cry to my people if you want to say anything to any nation you can cry doesn't say your war has ended I will tell you tonight your war on condemnation in your heart has ended you don't have to feel condemned anymore your war I'm getting rid of fear in your heart that's ended cry unto my people it doesn't say you mentioned lightly it is comforting my people double double I mean if God says comforting then you comfort them but he says comforting and then

45:22comforting again so I mean if God repeats himself he wants to say something was to speaky comfort to Jerusalem and cry unto her that her war is accomplished that her iniquity is pardoned for she's been punished double how have we been punished is a voice in the wilderness crying prepare you the way of the Lord hallelujah make straight in the desert a highway for our God so here's a desert what's the desert where there must be a highway there's a desert is this law system by which people were putting categories the Gentiles Jews righteous this by your works what's called the desert God is making make a way for me in the desert for I want to be the only way for you out of the desert amen every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and let's do this five and the glory of the Lord shall be

46:26revealed and all flesh shall see it together now where is that how's that is that to come one day let's just show you John chapter one lost because I spoke to Richard I said you know when we take the book of Revelation we don't take the book of Revelation and then interpret it with the news when you take the book of Corinth or Old Testament prophet Isaiah you interpret it with Jesus when you take Jeremiah the interpretation is Jesus when you want to look at what Paul wrote in Corinthians it's go to Jesus but when people go to the book of Revelation they go to the news doesn't make sense the answer is in Christ Jesus hallelujah so I think we must study that whole book over thank you Lord John chapter one listen to this it says there what I want to just refresh your mind it says

47:29cry unto Jerusalem the war is over the war on sin the war on guilt the war on condemnation the war on judgment the war on not good enough the war on I must try and approve myself before God the war on getting God not angry with me the war on getting God to bless you tell my people her war is over for her son has been pardoned because she has been punished prepare away for of the Lord the Lord's glory shall be revealed John chapter one verse 17 sorry verse 14 and the word of the Lord was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory the glory as of the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth hallelujah so what he says is cry to Jerusalem cry to the people say to all the people your war has ended for grace and truth is revealed amen grace and truth is revealed therefore your war has ended your war has ended amen

48:37so that is the message that we can speak so we have come to Jerusalem and it comes to giving our bodies as a living sacrifice and the new mind that we love with we don't now fall back under the law we love all people the same Jesus remember what I said the Bible says a new commandment I give unto you that you love one another as I have loved you now many times we think that the new commandment is that we now should love one another that's not the new commandment the Bible says a new commandment I will give to you that will enable you to love one another so what is this new commandment this new commandment is to believe on Jesus Christ and the commandment of God is I sent my word and it will heal you believe on that word that's the commandment of God and that will enable you to love all people the way Jesus loves all people so now when we present our bodies in this gospel of grace when comes the Jew or Gentile

49:42or whatever nation we can love all people with the love of Jesus by saying by one word this salvation for you but the moment you step out of the cross you cannot love all people the same and then you start to discriminate against Israel they must now buy the flesh get this salvation somehow how will they ever they were the example unto us Paul said in and not just Paul except the 15 says why will we basically plague the people burden the people with things that we couldn't do or our forefathers that's 15 so there were they the sign of the people living under the curse of the law in written for me we want to keep in there we can never do that the gospel we received is we love all people now the way God loves us and how did God love us in Jesus Christ

50:42by not imputing our trespasses against us for we declare that the law which we were under the determined who we were has been fulfilled and that's how we live towards every nation and I'll tell you and I say this with so much compassion loving my heart and even if people watch this years from now I say this with love in my heart the church gets so busy with ofreconce was the best fitteriasis you know what the fitteriasis is my brother there's no English word for that so you can you can just grab it into the fitterias with nonsense just you know busy with stuff here's like my son said you know it's like nine o'clock at night he must go to bed says oh yo I had homework now why didn't you do your homework I didn't have time to do it

51:50man he's in standard two he doesn't have time for his homework hey he was busy with fitteriasis you know it's busy with nonsense therefore it didn't have time to do the homework the church gets busy with all this nonsense of running health a scout to try to do something for God and now we we know no no no no no no no book on sopanasi there's one thing I don't like and that's a is een boole. Wat is de Gentel Church, boole isra? Ik denk dat de Naine isra, wau van deen, er is een veel beter point van referend, waar ze kunnen geloven. Een experie van God, onder de Naine isra, ze kunnen geen experie van God geloven. Never. Deelgekast zal zal nog steeds van bevijen voor God. Deelgekast zal zal geen ideeën voor Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.

52:50Houden we deelgekast van Jesus die die niet deelgekast van Jesus. Want we vinden, dat een dag, omdat ze deelgekast zal, deelgekast zal zal. Hè? Ik weet niet of ik hier wat ik zeg, maar ik zeg dat ik het een natie en ik zeg dat we zijn zo genreus aan jou dat ik denk dat dat is waar de chute zit voor de steen, want believing in Jesus became such a hard work dat God is zo genreus aan Israel dat ze niet moeten believe in Jesus to be saved, made them easy for them, it's difficult to get saved by Jesus, say he made it easy for the Jews, they can just be saved by the flesh, yeah, that's the wrong way around, it's easy to be saved by Jesus Christ and at the same age as come for every

53:56nation, relationship to, relationship to says is broken down the middle wall of separation talking about the law that made people different nations and is made one main in Christ, let's go to Isaiah 14 and then I'm going to endure, so so a lot, sorry men, Isaiah 14, okay I forgot to say dat de volgende service is on the 29th, not on the 21st, so on the 29th we will send the SMSes, so on the 29th we will be the next service, we will also send an SMS telling people will not be next week and all those other things, because I'm going to be away and then on the 29th I'll be back, Isaiah 14, Isaiah listen to this,

55:02the Lord will have mercy on Jacob and will he choose Israel and set them in their own land and the strangers shall be joined with him and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob and the people shall take them and bring them to their places and the house Israel shall persist them in the land of the Lord for the servants of the hand made, they shall make them captives, listen listen to verse two, it says Israel it says and they Israel all the church shall make them captives who captives, whose captives they were and they shall rule over their oppressors, so what God says is there is a people talking about the church, prophesying about the church, the Bible says there's a Jerusalem that's from above and that is the believers in Jesus Christ, but the Jerusalem of this earth is in bondage with the children until today, Galatians chapter four, so we can never relate to people as bondage, there's a Jerusalem that's from above, there's those that believe the gospel of grace and that talks prophesies about the Israel of God, the believers in Jesus Christ,

56:07it says here the Lord and the house of Israel shall persist them in the land of the Lord for the servants and the hand made, and they shall make them, listen to this and they shall make these people that oppressed them, make them captives, whose captives they were and they shall rule over them, over their oppressors and they shall, in a church on the path in the day of the Lord when Jesus came, when the shall come the day that the Lord shall give you rest from your sorrow and from your fear and from your heart bondage where in you was made to serve, listen, it says God, there's these things that oppress you and the context here is the law system, oppressed us in the flesh, he says but God will make this law your slave, you were enslaved under the law but now the law will be your slave, let's talk about that's powerful matter, he says and God through making the law your slave and you're not the slave of

57:13the law anymore, he says what will happen, you will give you rest from your sorrow and from your fear and from your heart bondage where in you were made to serve, oh hallelujah, thank you for the gospel Jesus, we have been set free from our fear and our bondage and our hard labor and this message of hard labor is now my slave, let's just look at what is law did this for, for now shall take up this proverb against the king of Babylon and say how has the oppressor and the golden city ceased, we will you know if you look at the law system, you know in the time of Jerusalem it was this golden city, it was the city of God what people said but he says we today in the New Testament will look at that law system and we will say how has the oppressor ceased and you'll shout to the king of Babylon which is Satan himself, how have you fallen,

58:17we think Satan was fallen because he was kicked out of heaven in some way, the way Satan fell was when he lost his hold on you which was the law, that was the fall of Satan, can you believe that, that was his fall and now the the mess the system that oppressed us, we are oppressing it by declaring the gospel of grace because the strong man has been bound, you can never plunder someone's home unless the strong man's been bound and Jesus Christ came and he did bind the strong man which was the man of the law working in your life, now we are binding strong man's over the town, you wasting your time, you are wasting your time, you don't have to do that, the strongest thing that an ever-controller man is a wrong mind about what Christ has done for

59:20him who he is in Jesus, that's the strong man and that has been bound and now we go as the oppressor of the law system and we are plundering the house by preaching the gospel of grace, hallelujah, hallelujah and we are shouting oh golden city how have you fallen and your rule ceased and let just look at how he ruled and the Lord has broken the Lord has broken the staff of the wicked and the scepter of the rulers, what was the staff and the scepter the authority under which we were ruled with an iron fist, what works, by your flesh you are like God, by your works you're going to be like God, by your works you're going to be righteous before God, but there's very flesh

1:00:24that was used as the place by which Satan had his heyday by us seeking justification by the law finding all manner of sin manifesting in us, it has now been given as a sacrifice unto the spreading of the gospel and for the good news to find its house and its dwelling place. The Lord has broken the staff, he who smoked the people in wrath with a continual stroke, look what the Lord did, he who smoked the people in wrath, God's angry he must fear God with a continual stroke that he ruled the nations in anger and persecuted and unhindered, what he says is this law and the system of judgment was over the people and nobody could stop it, there was no man, that's why the Bible says the law will stay there, heaven and earth will pass away, but not one point to come, it will ever pass away until Jesus comes and fulfills it, not what he could do

1:01:27anything about it and it was a continual stroke, not near feet on the yard, but it was just a sign of the thing, the real thing started in Adam and people were in bondage all the time, but freedom came 2000 years ago and the time has come that the church takes up the rulership and rules, how do we rule, we rule over the spreading of this law system by preaching the gospel of God's acceptance and the gospel of grace, hallelujah, amen, let me tell you something in South Africa, well the story, Franchero always tells this, there was with a slave trade and the early 1800s run about there, there was a slave trade and there was this man that had slaves and he had about 100 or 200 slaves working for him, but then there was a law passed that they had to let all the

1:02:28slaves go free, go free, because you were not allowed to have slaves anymore, but then this guy kept this knowledge away from his slaves and they worked for years for him, being slaves, but they were not slaves, but one day one of the slaves came to hear that it's over and he spread the news in one day all the slaves were free, in one day, it's like in South Africa, you're not going to tell you, and only an ignorant black person will fall under the apartheid system today, only an ignorant person, and what you will do, what the people that were made free under the new regime, and I'm not preaching politics, I'm just using this as an example, what they did

1:03:31today is they are ruling over the old system, which is only in this message and allegory of the true thing that happened in Christ, but we many people willfully take enslavement even after we've been made free, I never will be enslaved again, sorry, I've got the new law of life and the power of heaven backing me, and I will not get enslaved and I'm asking you not to go back to slavery when it comes to Israel, why do we want to go back to the law? If you start to think, let me tell you, if you start to think of that that way, tomorrow you're going to start to celebrate Jewish feasts, the day after that you're going to start to dress like the Jews,

1:04:34and not long from now you can completely confuse, to the point where Paul says this borders to witchcraft, who has bewitched you, that you want to go back to the beggarly elements, beggarly elements compared to the elements we have now, beggarly elements, we've been made free, we have been made free, and this proverb will be in our mouths according to a Zion 14 verse 3 and 4, this proverb shall be in your mouths, how have you fallen, oh golden city, a ruler of Babylon, you are nothing, and Paul put it in modern words, he said, oh death, where is your sting? Oh grave, where is your victory? That was the modern day proverb of saying, oh Babylon,

1:05:35you are fallen, Babylon you are fallen, you're going to read Babylon the fall of Babylon in revelations 11, I think it's from this 9, it says there, and Babylon, the great city Babylon is Sodom, is Jerusalem, where our Lord was crucified, don't read that, this whole old system is gone, it is gone, let me just read one thing more, I don't want to miss something there, thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon and say, how has the oppressor ceased, the golden city ceased, the Lord has broken the staff of the wicked and the sector of the ruler, ye who smoked the people in wrath with a continual stroke, ye that ruled the nations in anger and persecuted and none hindered the whole earth, after what the Lord has done now, the whole earth is at rest and is quiet, they break forth in singing, yes the third tree rejoices at the

1:06:42and the seeders of Lebanon saying, since thou art laid down, no father is come up against us, I've got good news for you, once you've got victory over this law thing, no father will come against you again, there's no law system to come in the future again, it's over forever with in might free, hallelujah, thank you Jesus, isn't that awesome? When it comes to Israel and Jerusalem, we can be spiritual, we don't have to fall into fleshly death, we're new people, we are a new people and we can love others the way God loved us by not taking the commandments into consideration but looking to a higher law, the law of God's love,

1:07:45if Christ loved us so much, why can't we love Israel by not calling them Israel anymore? And calling what God calls them, He says the only time when they could become God's people, go and read Galatians, it says the promise was made to Abraham and he's seed, who was Abraham's seed? Not the Jews, no, it says the promise was made to Abraham and he's seed, not as of many but as of one Christ. So the problem was never made to the Jews, never, they were given the law just as signs of Christ's coming and the promise that would be fulfilled in Jesus and now they were the first happy people that could interpret the prophets and joyfully wait for the Messiah and say hallelujah my Messiah's come now I can be saved by faith in Jesus Christ but because of the

1:08:51blinding power of the law, they could not see it and many don't and let's love in the Spirit and give our bodies as a loving sacrifice unto Jesus having a new mind concerning every area of life you know I end off with this people said listen to those who are over you in the Lord for they watch out for your souls and I don't want to, I can only make a bill blasting but listen to what I want to say here when I think of you and I think of people I am thinking and this is what it says because they watch out over you a pastor is not the one you must serve. He's there to serve you to watch out over you to look at your life and to see what is attacking you and that would bring you back into bondage and slavery and then he

1:09:53ministers a gospel that keeps you in the grace. The Bible says keep them in high esteem or double he even says give to them because the purpose they live with is that but unfortunately there is not what's happening in many instances but that scripture is used and now we are actually enslaved under that which we must be delivered from and I'm not saying run to marketplace go to any place where you can find the gospel of grace where you find that that person is watching out over your soul and he wants to see that you believe the message of God's unconditional love for you in every area of life hallelujah amen amen let us pray together maybe you are here and you just feel another certain things that just gets too much for you the certain things

1:10:57that you feel I don't know how I'm going to sort this thing out it's very difficult for me just make your request known to God and we can just leave it there and he will care for you and just with your eyes closed like this I want to just tell you this short story there's one lady came to us you know a well-marliant that comes here always you couldn't come tonight because doesn't have someone to look off to the baby and she wanted to sell her house but they couldn't sell their house and we're going through many things I said you just be content with where you live and maybe rent your house out go and live in a smaller place whatever and make your request known to God and she did that and left it there and the house is now solved it took a couple of months longer than what she thought but what she asked happened what she made known to God so I want to say to you it doesn't matter what you've done doesn't matter where you've been doesn't matter what you in how deadly it looks

1:12:04you are in Christ and in Christ when you speak to the Father it's not coming from beneath it's just leaning over because we are seated with him in heaven you know when you see the Wimbledon Wimbledon tennis or whatever these big soccer matches you see some of the presidents they sit there and the one just leans over to the other one and just say something in saying something like that you can change your whole nation just at a soccer match in the same way it's just like leaning over to God and just say what's on your heart I think that's what you can do right now because you've been perfected in one sacrifice you don't have to think but I come from a poor background I come from this I come from that I've been so deep into the law and forget your past look at the only future you have which is Jesus and you can just make that request whatever it is

1:13:05not to go on how do you thank you my Father
