A Sign that Jesus Only Does What He Sees of the Father — April 18, 2021: full transcript and answers

▶ 1:00 Jesus knew his condition here’s that Revelation again. Jesus knew he had been there for 38 years Jesus knew this man. Could not get into the water. And he said to this man do you want to be made whole do you want to be healed and God is saying that to every individual today do you want me to heal you. Personally I will come to you in the midst of a crowd in the midst of a multitude in the midst of the population of the whole world. I will come to you and heal you that is the third fact the fourth fact is found in verse seven. The man replied I have no man when the water is troubled to put me in.

▶ 1:55 Okay this fourth fact is there is no human that can help you. The doctors couldn’t help this man his family couldn’t help this man his friends couldn’t help this man and certainly those that were waiting for the water to be stirred they were going to jump in as fast as they can. This man needed a supernatural God. To come and heal him he wasn’t capable of getting in the water. No one was there to get him in the water. This man needed a supernatural. Meeting with God. Now that was fact number four. Fact number five.

▶ 2:48 Jesus said rise up take up your bed and walk the bed and walk are in yellow because they’re significant later. Rise get up get out of that situation you’re in take up your bed and walk and immediately. The man was made whole he was healed from head to toe took up his bed and walked. On the Sabbath day in obedience to Jesus who is God in the flesh. The religious Jews that were there. They weren’t there for healing. They were there to watch what Jesus was doing they were there to catch him as the Bible says in a mistake and something that he’s going to do wrong that’s what the Bible says they were always looking for him to make a mistake.

▶ 3:47 So the Jews. You would think they all knew this man had been there 38 years you would think everybody would be happy for the man but not religious people. Religious people have got their little articles of faith their little doctrines down that if you violate nothing. Nothing. Prevails above their beliefs and their doctrines. Jesus said that you said to Jesus it’s not lawful to carry a bed on the Sabbath day. Where does it say that in the Bible. Nowhere they made it a law. We make a lot of laws today that’s not in the Bible. Verse 14. Later. Jesus went into the temple and found the man that he healed.

▶ 4:45 And he looked at the man and said you’ve been made well sin no more least a worse thing come upon you so we find this man is a sinner. This man’s a sinner and God healed him. Wow. Hallelujah. And he told the man don’t go and sin again at least something worse come upon you now folks a lot of sin. There is repercussions for if you want to drink alcohol and take drugs you are going to endanger your life you’re going to endanger yourself with addiction you’re going to endanger yourself of making bad decisions and bad judgments and you’re going to do things and I’ve seen a lot of people in my 78 years of living on earth that died early from drugs and alcohol.

▶ 5:46 And the ones that didn’t die they were physically afflicted from drugs and alcohol. And that’s what Jesus said you know sin a lot of sin has its repercussions people that want to live in sexual immorality in America today there are over 30 different sexually transmitted diseases 30 there used to be three in my day now there’s 30. And several of these you cannot be cured from. And statistics tell us that 50 of Americans because of the sexual permissiveness America lives in have. A sexually transmitted disease or have had one. Okay so Jesus is right if you’re going to sin there’s some repercussions for it but in spite of all of this in spite of this sinner maybe he was drinking maybe he was taking opium we don’t know we don’t know what sins he was in.

▶ 6:49 Jesus came to that sinner. And healed him. Amen church. Powerful you don’t have to stay in a life of sin so that is fact number six. Fact number seven. The Jews the religious Jews there were other Jews that followed Jesus but these religious Jews rejected him and rejected his laws and rejected his words of righteousness they rejected repenting and bringing forth the fruit of repentance these Jews persecuted. Oppressed. And tried to kill Jesus who was God in the flesh. For healing a man on the Sabbath day and telling that man to get up pick up his bed and walk home.

▶ 7:46 Religion is a very strong source and force of opposition to what God wants to do for sinners. Let alone his own people that was a great statement right there we ought to write that down. Hallelujah religion. The religious peoples who persecuted Christ now the Romans also persecuted Christ backing up the Jews and the Romans had the civil authority to execute and carry out. Judgments of being in jail and beatings and crucifying and so forth and the Romans were also. Pagans. They believed in the greek intellectual approach to life and they believed in a pagan. God.

▶ 8:45 My father has been working until now Jesus told these Jews and I have been working that is such a powerful statement. God said I never left myself without a witness in the earth to the center and to my people that is such a powerful statement and it was in the prophecy last Sunday. God has always been there for a witness of his supernatural. Power his supernatural love and mercy. And he said. God was his father so now the Jews are really mad. Because Jesus identified as being equal with God. And they couldn’t handle that and he was God.

▶ 9:42 So they tried the more to kill him they tried the more to harm Jesus arrest him and get him killed. Fact number eight. Jesus said in verse 19 to these Jews the son. Of God can do nothing of himself. But what he sees the father do wow. Don’t you think the American church needs to take a closer look at this verse. We do so many programs and so many things. That we don’t ask what the fathers will it. So in verse 30. Jesus said I can of my own self do nothing. As I hear I judge my judgment is just for I seek not my own will but the will of the father which is which has sent me Jesus healed this man because the father told him to go through all of this multitude.

▶ 10:52 Thousands of people around this pool some of them are hundreds of feet away because they can’t get close enough to the pool for the crowd and Jesus wades through all these people to this man by the edge of the pool a sinner. And heals him. That was the will of a father. Now remember every miracle every sign did in the book of John is for our learning. So we believe Jesus is really the Christ the messiah the anointed one of God and the son of God and in believing that God reveals himself and we have abundant life here on earth I am 78 years old and I can tell you I’ve had 78 years of abundant life there have been ups and downs don’t get me wrong but there’s more ups than downs and even than the downs I had joy that no man could take away I had peace that passed it all understanding I knew I was going to get through any difficulty in my life or this nation’s life or my family’s situation are you there.

▶ 12:08 Powerful. Powerful the will of the father is to heal the sinner. So. Go with me to Revelations. Chapter 17. And let’s see what we can learn are you ready. Revelation 17:15. The waters. Where the heart it sits. Are peoples. Multitudes. Nations and tongues. God isn’t after just one person he’s after all of them. Hallelujah. The waters in Revelations are the people a multitude of people a multitude of nations and nationalities and different races and a multitude of people speaking different languages in different dialects that’s the waters here in Revelation and you are part of that water.

▶ 13:18 Now. These waters. If you can handle my humble graphic here. Different nationalities different nations God promised this this is what God promised to the people in these waters and and we’re talking about the last days God is talking about the end time here in Revelation okay. He said. The. In the last days I will pour out my spirit on all flesh. In the what last days I God will it is my will to pour out my spirit on all flesh so all of these people in the waters here in Revelation has been promised that God would come and fill them with his Holy Spirit amen that’s the promise to these multitude of people.

▶ 14:23 Also he said as truly as I live the glory of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. God promised that to these people. Us in the last days. Amen. He also said. The glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh. Everybody in these waters. Every nation tribe and tongue. He said all flesh will see it together for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it and what God speaks he is more than able to. Perform. Hallelujah. Folks I don’t know what you’re hearing on tv and radio about the end times but let me tell you this is end time stuff that you need to hear about.

▶ 15:23 God is doing something in the last days and we don’t have to be afraid of any beast or any antichrist or any anything and God is going to touch the multitudes and the waters of humanity in these last days. Just as he touched those center that center at the pool of Bethesda he’s going to touch sinners and his people all right in acts chapter 3 he said I’m going to send times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord he promised these people he is going to come and refresh them. Regenerate them. And he said I’m going to build a church at the gates of hell cannot prevail against and it’s going to be a glorious church without spot or wrinkle or any such thing and they’re going to put Satan under their feet.

▶ 16:16 Satan isn’t putting the church under his feet we are putting Satan under our feet through the power of Jesus Christ in his word amen. And besides that he says in acts chapter 3 that Jesus Christ will stay in the heavens he will be retained in the heavens he’s not coming back until the restoration of all things spoken by the mouth of the prophet since the world began all the way back to Adam the first prophet God is going to restore everything back and he promised this to this multitude. In the waters in Revelation and that includes you and I today amen isn’t that exciting. It’s powerful very powerful. Now.

▶ 17:08 Let’s read on in Revelation 17. Remember we had eight steps at the pool we got eight steps here eight facts. In this first we’re going to see the first four facts and the sixth one. Number one the multitudes. Multitudes in the water okay multitudes. Are under a harlot who persecutes oppresses and kills the saints so where are the saints. Right here on earth this rapture nonsense don’t buy it for one instant we’re in the 17th chapter of Revelation and a church is still here. Are you there.

▶ 18:00 We hear things enough we believe it. Now this harlot is persecuting oppressing and killing the saints and no there’s others in the waters that are not in the book of life here it is they’re sinners in the waters. And God wants to come and stir the sinner as well as stir the saint and deliver them in the last days. You got it. You may feel you’re the world’s worst sinner buck up Paul already got that recognition. The world’s worst center so the best you can do be second best and God save Paul he can save you can I hear an amen hallelujah yes. Now. So.

▶ 18:52 He comes. To this individual at the pool he comes to each individual the sinner and the saint and speaks and says fact two and three do you want to be healed. Sinner do you want to be healed today. Saint. Do you want to be healed today. Have you made some mistakes and you need to be healed today. He’s coming to each individual and asking you do you want. Me to stir you. And heal you. Hallelujah how many would say yes I need a little stirring and I certainly need healing. And it doesn’t matter if you’re a sinner it doesn’t matter if you’re a saint he comes for both okay so we got one through three and six number six is the harlot oppressing.

▶ 19:59 All right the Jews oppressed Jesus. Persecuted Jesus the religious people the roman government backed them up and persecuted. Jesus and his followers and his apostles the roman government was also a pagan religion so you got a lot of religion in this involvement in the last days and you got government backing up. Those religions. Mistreating. The true religion. Of Jesus and his followers you got it. Okay so there is five of the facts ten kings. Receive power one hour receive power one hour not seven years.

▶ 21:00 And in one hour they go into perdition they are destroyed in one hour not seven years in one hour. In what one hour. We’ve heard seven years so much we just believe it because we hear it all the time but here it says I’m going to destroy those kings in one hour and the beast. With them. Well I can handle that how many could handle an hour of oppression for to watch Jesus deliver milli billions of people in the last days hallelujah yes. Isn’t this. Exciting. They’re going to go into perdition destruction I’ve been telling people forever there’s not one son of perdition. There’s all kinds of them.

▶ 21:56 That reject Christ and his word and think that their religion that they’ve made is higher than Jesus and his work those are sons of destruction. Are you out there all right now. In chapter 18 verse 8 it says the harlot. Is going to be destroyed in one day one day not seven years. One day not seven years the harlot’s coming down. Amen. Hallelujah. Now. Fact number five these ten make war with the lamb and the lamb overcomes them for he is Lord of Lord and king of kings and they with him are called chosen and faithful Jesus said he is not with me is against me we don’t have to have Jesus physically here to be with him.

▶ 23:03 Amen. Jesus said go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature and lo, I will what be with you he’s with the preachers of the gospel he’s with the saints and they are called and they’re chosen and they are faithful even though they’re being persecuted and harassed and oppressed by the false religions and civil government they are called chosen and faithful amen. Now so Jesus came to that one individual and said rise take up your bed and walk and he was made whole he is coming himself. And saying to each one of us today come out from that oppressive religion come out from that oppressive government come out from your sins.

▶ 23:58 I will heal you. Hallelujah. I will heal you. Fact number eight. God has put it in the heart in their hearts to fulfill his will here he is doing the will of the father Jesus is doing the will of the father by coming to the multitudes in the water in the last days and bringing healing. Because it’s the will of the father it’s the will of the father that the harlot right rise up it’s the will of the father that the teen kings follow it’s the will of the father that the beast comes out of the pit that’s the will of the father that he destroys them in what one hour one day. It’s also the will of the father that.

▶ 24:54 We get unoppressed by our oppressors. Amen we get delivered from our oppressors that’s the will of the father and it says here God has put in the hearts to fill his own will they turn on each other the kings the beast and the harlot turn on each other. To agree and to give their kingdom unto the beast till the words of God be fulfilled so he’s in charge of everything. God is so who’s afraid of the heart it why would she would be afraid of the beast and why we should be afraid of these ten kings God has determined it’s part of his will and he has determined that in a day or in an hour he’s going to destroy them. And deliver a multitude of people in the earth. Just like he said he would do yes.

▶ 25:48 Amen. Hallelujah. Step number seven fact number seven come out of her my people. So you don’t share in her sins or her plagues. Chapter 18 verse 4. See that’s what Jesus told the man he healed don’t go in sin anymore you’re going to bring bad stuff back up on your life. And here he’s reminding the saints and the converted sinners. Don’t get involved with the sins because it’s going to bring plagues it’s going to bring problems it’s going to bring pain in your life. Amen. And look at the result as the musicians come.

▶ 26:47 Look at the result of this found in chapter 19 verse 6. The result of God keeping his word and pouring out his spirit on all flesh the result. Of promising these people that he would restore all things he would bring refreshing to them. His glory would be seen by all flesh. This is God fulfilling it and look at the results in the last day this happened at the beginning of the last days when Jesus poured out his spirit after he ascended unto the father but at the end of the end of the last days look what God has promised. I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude. What the multitude of the people in the waters he heard the voices of the nations the people the different languages the different ethnic groups he heard the voices of the great multitude after he’d done his will.

▶ 27:55 The voices of the great multitude as the voice of what many waters see the waters all these people all of these different people the many waters he hears these people saying something okay the voice of mighty thunderings and what did they say hallelujah for the Lord God omnipotent reigns. God showed who was in control of the earth multitudes come to him in that day ask him to forgive him of their sins. He forgives their sins cleanses his immoral unrighteousness and they inherit it and now they’re singing what the Lord God omnipotent reigns Jesus rules Jesus reigns that’s the result of the move of God in the last days and it only took one hour for the kings and one day for the harlot the kings and the beasts in one hour the harlot in one day can I hear an amen hallelujah.

▶ 29:01 Multitudes. Multitudes. Are healed when the waters are stirred by the Lord and they let him come and stir their life when they let him come and forgive their sins. Multitudes of the saints multitudes of the sinners. A great harvest. A great harvest that cannot be numbered in the last days. There’s a song that I learned as a young Christian that really touched my heart every time. That they sang it and chucked well a lot of Psalms did this is one up. Speaking from the account of the woman caught in adultery and they brought the woman in to be stoned as the law is said to be stoned and Jesus.

▶ 30:01 Forgave the woman. Hallelujah. He said these powerful words neither do I condemn thee. Go and sin no more and that’s his message to this last day generation. Yes there’s a lot of oppression going on a lot of mistreatment but I’m stirring you I’m coming to you and if you will respond neither will I condemn you. Go and sin no more. If you want God to move on your life in these last days. If you want God to forgive you of anything. Will you stand with me and let’s sing this and accept his forgiveness.

▶ 30:55 Of course. Wonderful words of Jesus we’ve got to slow it down a little this is a seek God time all right. Neither do I condemn thee racist words divine. From the lips of mercy. Like the meat of shine. Wonderful words of Jesus. Sing. Neither do I condemn thee go and sin no more.
