The gospels speak of Jesus’ brothers and sisters, but He never called Mary mother or Joseph father. Pointing to His disciples, He said whoever hears and does God’s word is His brother, sister and mother. We become His family as new creatures, growing day by day.

What is prayed?

▶ Watch this part (25:17)

Short answer: That the word that spoke in Jesus would convict our hearts and make us new creatures.

From the sermonTranscript of this part · Pastor David G. Kincer

▶ 25:17 Christ. Lord the scriptures say that the word your word is above your name. Jesus your word was more powerful than the word of man Jesus this morning we pray Lord as the word spoke in Jesus that would come and convict our hearts changes Jesus make us new creatures Lord we pray that your word would have its work in us this morning ‘s pastor comes lets everyone say amen to that and ask and ask the word speak to us this morning we’re going to continue our session. On the history before history before Genesis 1 before the big bang as they some people want to call it and in our studies we have established.

What has been established so far?

▶ Watch this part (26:12)

Short answer: Mary carried and birthed Jesus’ body, conceived by God’s power; Christ had no human father or mother in genealogy.

From the sermonTranscript of this part · Pastor David G. Kincer

▶ 26:12 That mary. Could only carry bring forth birth and feed Jesus’s body of flesh conceived by God’s power and the Holy Spirit we’ve established that. We’ve also established so mary was the cocoon. We’ve established that Christ was without a human father. Without a human mother and without genealogy. Also Christ had no beginning of life nor end of days Hebrews chapter 7 tells us that plainly and to get it from Genesis and Psalms so we also establish at the very beginning that Christ revealed secrets hidden from the foundation of the world.

▶ 27:14 They were there in scriptures but they were hidden and he revealed the parables to his apostles. To his saints. And to the world now and the scriptures are here as a reference. So we can understand the hidden things of God and we can understand the parables. Now the question is. If Christ is without human genealogy. No ants no uncles no grandfathers no grandmothers. How could Christ have brothers and sisters. Or step ones as I and others have set.

How could Jesus have brothers and sisters?

▶ Watch this part (28:08)

Short answer: The local Jews said so: isn’t this the carpenter’s son, and His brothers James, Joses, Simon and Judas?

From the sermonTranscript of this part · Pastor David G. Kincer

▶ 28:08 If he has no genealogy. How can he have. Half-brothers half-sisters. No ants no uncles nothing. All right but when we go to the scriptures the local Jews and the apostles gospels. Said he had brothers and sisters. How can these things be are you interested. In Matthew chapter 13 verse 54. Jesus is in his hometown and he is in the synagogue. On a Saturday gathered together and he is preaching and healing the sick and all this stuff and his hometown countrymen.

▶ 29:07 Said. Is this not the carpenter’s son isn’t he Joseph’s son. Isn’t his mother called mary isn’t his mother mary you see 30 some years before the angels came and announced Christ was going to be born. The wise men came from the east and traveled for two years to worship this baby born in a manger angels appeared to marry angels appeared to Joseph explaining to them what was going on this was 30 years ago. And that whole area was shaken the shepherds went out and and told everybody in the countryside about the messiah being born Jesus being born but 30 years have gone by and people have forgotten.

▶ 30:08 Jesus is growing up around them and he’s you know five years old six years old nine years old 10 years old 12 years old. And even Jesus’s mother called him her son. Time went by. They go on to say now this is a multitude of people thousands of people his brothers James. Joseph Simon Judas and his sisters are with us so mary and Joseph had children after Jesus was born. No matter what the catholic church says they’re just wrong here all right but they’re right in the aspect that mary was used to conceived God in the flesh.

▶ 31:02 So they said where did this man now when you see italics in the king James Bible and other bibles it means they put the word there to help you understand. So the context is Joseph was his father mary was his mother and he had brothers and sisters so where did this man they put that word in there but really they should have put in where did this son of Joseph and mary with brothers and sisters get all this wisdom and mighty works all they could see was a human being. All they could see was the flesh. That Jesus was in they could not see that he was God in the flesh are you with me so is it any wonder today that many Christians are confused.

Scripture in this part

Scripture (NKJV)

Matthew 13:55-56 (NKJV)

Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?”

— Matthew 13:55-56 (NKJV)▶ Hear it at 28:08 (quoted; reference not named in the message)

Did even His family understand?

▶ Watch this part (31:54)

Short answer: No—Mary brought her children to Him, and His brothers didn’t believe; later James is called the Lord’s brother.

From the sermonTranscript of this part · Pastor David G. Kincer

▶ 31:54 I mean if they were confused and they were announced the birth of Christ by angels and all these big manifestations and they were confused. We understand that people they today can be confused about who Jesus is could that be an amen now. So his own countrymen. And. Synagogue. People in the synagogue were offended at him. Offend means they wondered from the truth strayed from the truth he is the truth so they were offended at him why they looked at him as a man as the son of Joseph as the son of mary and a brother of their other children so they were offended because they were looking for a prophet to come they were looking for a messiah to come a supernatural person anointed person they were looking for a priest to come and a king to come and he wasn’t fitting the bill he was just Joseph and mary’s son how can he be doing this and so they were offended.

▶ 33:13 Now in Matthew 12:46. Jesus had a big crowd around him he was in a house and he had a big crowd around him and Mary brought his her children. Her sons and daughters to the crowd and they couldn’t get through the crowd because it was so huge and Jesus was inside and so they passed the word. I’m Jesus’s mother and his brothers and sisters are out here and we want to see him so it goes down from the crowds of thousands and it gets down to where Jesus was and the crowd says hey. Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside so the whole crowd. Said that mary was his mother and that he had brothers and sisters when the Bible says he couldn’t have because he what had no genealogy.

▶ 34:17 He had no beginning and no end. All right and we will continue this on the next slide Matthew 12:46. In John 7:1-10. His brothers he’s there with his brothers and they said hey you’re doing all these things in secret and anyone doing things in secret really want to be seen openly say why don’t you get out there and you stop doing this stuff in secret and you show yourself to the world. Because the brothers didn’t believe him. You see. They didn’t believe why because they only saw him as the son of Joseph the son of mary and his he.

▶ 35:13 Was their brother are you with me they didn’t believe they didn’t believe he was the son of God they even believe he was born of a virgin they didn’t believe he was going to die on the cross for the sins of the world they didn’t believe. But. A short time goes by. And in Acts 1:14 mary and his brothers were in the upper room in one accord praying for the promise of the baptism of the Holy Spirit to fall upon them. A change took place from where they didn’t believe and where they were saying that mary was his mother and he had brothers and sisters now everything has changed they have been enlightened don’t you want God to enlighten you amen.

His brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing. For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” For even His brothers did not believe in Him.

But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.

Why open your mouth in worship?

▶ Watch this part (36:02)

Short answer: To be enlightened and grow—sing when it’s time to sing, pray when it’s time to pray.

From the sermonTranscript of this part · Pastor David G. Kincer

▶ 36:02 And let me tell you something that was a good worship this morning and if you want to be enlightened and you want the growing God you’ve got to learn to open your mouth with thy mouths that thyself free sing when it’s time to sing pray when it’s time to pray you’ve got to use those lips God gave us instructions in how to get him to change our life hallelujah and so you have to humble yourself you got to raise your hands you got to stand in the house of the Lord when it’s time to stand kneel when it’s time to kneel you do these things and he will fulfill his promises in you hallelujah you’ll get enlightened like mary and his brothers you may not believe like they did but as time went by they got enlightened and believed isn’t that powerful hallelujah and they had angels visiting mary had angels visiting her and all this stuff and yet she fell back in.

▶ 37:05 To lack of understanding and now she’s got it back she knows who he is do you know who Jesus is it’s the question today all right. Paul in Galatians 1:19 calls James the lord’s brother now Paul was called up to the third heaven and he said he saw things that he couldn’t speak about and all the rest and yet Paul. With all the Revelation given to him said James was the brother of Jesus now if Paul can be confused. Is it possible we can be confused today but if his brothers and sisters and Mary’s sons and daughters and mary everybody thought was his mother they could change and be enlightened can we absolutely you just give God a little time and you avail yourself to him he will enlighten you and you’ll become a believer so.

Did Jesus accept they were His family?

▶ Watch this part (38:12)

Short answer: He never called Mary mother or Joseph father; He asked “Who is My mother?” and pointed to His disciples.

From the sermonTranscript of this part · Pastor David G. Kincer

▶ 38:12 Jesus did not accept their belief of having brothers sisters or half-brothers and sisters by mary he didn’t accept that. And the reason we know that is Jesus nowhere in the scriptures called mary mother. Called Joseph father. And called their children brother and sister nowhere. Why because they weren’t he was conceived remember by the spirit of God and by the power of God mary had nothing to do with the conception she simply carried him she birthed him. But he was God in the flesh. Hallelujah. So going back to Matthew 12:48 where this crowd was.

▶ 39:09 Also recorded in Mark 3 and Luke 8. The multitude said your mother your brothers your sisters want to see you all right. Jesus said who is my mother. Wow. Who are my brothers. Now mary and her children are out on the back of the crowd and he is telling the whole crowd and how many of you know when he talked somehow his voice was heard all the way. That I mean that’s a miracle without pas and everything they were hearing him and so mary and he and her children are hearing Jesus say who is my mother.

▶ 40:03 So he’s she’s going to get enlightened here. Who are my brothers. He asked the question and then he answers it he said pointing to his disciples his 12 disciples his 70 disciples that he send out later and the multitude of others disciples that were gathered around he pointed to them and said. Here’s my mother. Wow. Here is my sisters and brothers. And I like it that he included females in there because we got this female thing in the church that women have got to be silent and they got to be. Second-class citizens and in my study the scriptures that we are all can have all of the inheritance of God could that be a amen.

Scripture in this part

Scripture (NKJV)

Matthew 12:48-50 (NKJV)

But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

— Matthew 12:48-50 (NKJV)▶ Hear it at 39:09 (quoted; reference not named in the message)
Scripture (NKJV)

Mark 3:33-35 (NKJV)

But He answered them, saying, “Who is My mother, or My brothers?” And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother.”

— Mark 3:33-35 (NKJV)▶ Hear it at 39:09

Who is His family?

▶ Watch this part (41:04)

Short answer: Whoever hears God’s word and does it—His brother, sister and mother.

From the sermonTranscript of this part · Pastor David G. Kincer

▶ 41:04 Yeah he didn’t just say brothers he said sisters and so. He goes on to describe it more clearly for whoever hears God’s word and does it. And that’s what a disciple does a disciple hears and obeyed a believer just does what they believe they should do and a lot of Christians are just believers they’re not disciples because they believe in God but they don’t do what God says to do. Are you with me and and they don’t grow if you don’t exercise the word you don’t grow and so the words got to get out so believers can grow could that be an amen we can’t just hoard things to ourselves we’ve got to share and so people can grow she said my father. For whosoever hears God’s word and does it and does the will of my father in heaven when that spirit comes and speaks to you and convicts you of something if you obey it.

What does this unlock?

▶ Watch this part (42:06)

Short answer: The woman of Revelation 12 and “the mother of us all”; Jesus is God, without beginning, end or genealogy.

From the sermonTranscript of this part · Pastor David G. Kincer

▶ 42:06 You are his brother his sister and mother wow. Now this immediately. Exposes some scriptures in the Bible that has confounded me for decades. And one of them is Revelations chapter 12. The woman in the wilderness wow. The other one is the mother of us all. Wow all of a sudden it makes sense. We will be talking further about that are you interested in that yes. No. Mary and them are hearing it and here is where they got their enlightenment they got brought back to reality that this is God. This is God in the flesh.

— Hebrews 7:3 (NKJV)▶ Hear it at 42:57

How do we become His family?

▶ Watch this part (42:58)

Short answer: Made sons by a new heart and spirit—born again, new creatures.

From the sermonTranscript of this part · Pastor David G. Kincer

▶ 42:58 He don’t have a beginning or an end he don’t have a genealogy he doesn’t have any brothers and sisters he is God. Hallelujah. Yeah now I’m going to make a statement that we are made sons Jesus’s brothers and sisters we are made children of God we are made born again new creatures by the Holy Spirit in God’s power as exactly as Christ was made in the flesh by the power of the God and the Holy Spirit are you with me no I made the statement. I want you to remember in the genealogies in Luke chapter 3 38. Adam has called the son of God. In Genesis 2:7 God created Adam from the dust of the earth and made him a fleshly spirit being he made him a body of flesh and then he breathed into him and he became a living soul a living spirit so we have a spirit as well as a body and Adam was called the son of God created from dust say it created from dust.

▶ 44:14 Not the spirit not the power of God he was created from dust now. Jesus but on the other hand was already a spirit he cannot be created. The creator can be created. And the creator is a spirit of love and truth is it. The Bible said. But he wasn’t enough flesh. So Jesus. A spirit is the only conceived flesh son of God that’s why the Bible says he’s the only begotten son of God why because God Jesus existed before and now he lives in that fleshly body that God conceived and mary.

▶ 45:07 By the Holy Spirit empower God isn’t that beautiful. Hallelujah now the saints us. We are given a new spirit and new heart Ezekiel 18:31 and 36:26 so that we will and will cause us to walk in his laws and walk in his word that’s why he he this is this is part of the new covenant he will give us a new spirit and a new heart a mind the heart is the mind the will the desire and the emotions of it he’ll give us new ones see a lot of Christians today they lose their temper. They use profanity. Why because they haven’t allowed God to give them that spirit and make them. Into what he wants to make them.

▶ 46:02 And they don’t have to be discouraged about it they need to be encouraged that they can change could that be true. How many want to change yeah gee that’s why we came to Christ he had to save us to change us. Saving us was the easy part changing us is where we fight it. Okay. And he gave us a new birth born again by God’s spirit and the water of the word okay John chapter 3. Okay we’re born again we have a new birth but not a physical birth a fleshly birth a spiritual birth. And the water of the word the spirit and God’s power made. Say the word made conceived fashion see he’s making us new creatures.

▶ 47:02 The old man of sin dying away and the new man of righteousness alive and growing amen. That’s what he’s doing and he’s doing it by his power and his spirit and he makes us new creatures sons of God first Peter 1:23 and second Corinthians 5:17. Church that is the goal to make you a new creature not to just save you from sin and forgive you he’s out to do something with you to make you a light to the world and he promised to do it and all you got to do is read your word study your word come to church pray pray at home worship at home all you got to do is exercise the principles and he will do the rest.

How did he come to Christ?

▶ Watch this part (47:54)

Short answer: An old man in an Assembly of God church led him to confess, repent and receive Christ to become a son of God.

From the sermonTranscript of this part · Pastor David G. Kincer

▶ 47:54 I had to learn as a young Christian to get rid of my bashfulness if it was I was so timid that raising my hands was just a killer ah. I’d raised my hand like this and I thought I had it to the ceiling. But see that’s the breaking of the outward man that’s the breaking of the natural man so the spiritual man can come out hallelujah. Now. Confirmation scriptures of this statement.

▶ 48:28 John 1:12. Now I was very fortunate. To have an old man in an Assembly of God church of about 40 or 50 people lead me to Christ and knew what he was doing. He not only told me that I had to confess my sins confess Christ as Lord the all-powerful one repent of my sins ask him to forgive me of my sins cleanse me on my sins and my unrighteousness but he says son you’ve got to invite Jesus into your life and that revolutionized that evening when I prayed that sinner’s prayer and asked Jesus to come into my life lo and behold he did and I could actually feel the burden of sin lift off of me that I didn’t know I was carrying but I was carrying a spiritual burden of sin and so he took me to John 1:12 as many as receive him you got to accept him into your life to them gave he power he gives this power people are always talking about giving salvation there’s more than salvation God is after he wants to empower you with a supernatural ability to become sons of God.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

Is becoming a new creature instant?

▶ Watch this part (49:55)

Short answer: No—Jesus grew in wisdom and favor; growth is proportional to prayer, the word and teaching.

From the sermonTranscript of this part · Pastor David G. Kincer

▶ 49:55 Hallelujah powerful. Even to them that believe yes we believe but our belief has got to bring us to receive Christ in us and empower us to become be made into a son of God. Jesus grew the Bible says in wisdom and favor. And with God and men and great grace was upon him and he grew in stature he grew physically he grew in wisdom now folks he’s God. Okay. He knows everything already but why did he take this route because that’s he’s our example that’s the root we have to take at 12 years old he confounded the priest in the temple he grew to a place where he was smarter than the priest in the temple concerning the scriptures.

▶ 50:57 My point is this. This growth this new creature is not instantaneous. It is a growing process. And it’s in direct proportion to how you pray read the word hear teaching like this because you won’t read that Bible and get this kind of teaching. You know you’re going to read the Bible and all you’re going to see is God judging you. And I you don’t see God blessing you that’s the trick of the enemy that’s what he he likes to bring out the judgment things you know and there’s a non-righteous no not one I could never be righteous and he likes to beat us down but the Holy Ghost and the word of God will build you up are you with me and so we have to apply ourselves and this is where people that believe in no works are missing it we don’t do the works of shadow laws but we got to do the works of righteous laws spiritual laws could that be an amen we got to pray we got to worship we got to praise him we got to give him thanksgiving we got to read the word we got to study the word we’ve got to apply the word we got a tithe we’ve got a common fellowship with the believers those are principles of God that causes us to grow.

▶ 52:16 And become new creatures all right so it didn’t happen for Christ overnight and he could have God could have just spoke Christ into a 30 year old man God don’t have any problems with doing things but he chose this route because he gave us the example of our root we have to grow can you amen that yeah so we don’t get down on yourself today just get up and get going again. Huh. Second Corinthians 6:17 come out from among them and be separate and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you not only will we we receive him but he will receive us and that makes all the difference in the world you see I am the vine and you are the branches when he connects us the branches to him the vine power.

▶ 53:10 See we got to accept him connecting us and he’s got to accept us. And repentance is the key we come out from that old life that we used to do and it’s hard on us sometimes so some of the things we do are just ingrained in us and they’ve got to be broken and changed and I will be your father and you will be my what sons and daughters conceived by God’s Holy Spirit power and word. And it’s going to take time. It’s not instant it’s little by little line up online precept on precept that’s the way it happens. Foreign. First John 3:10 and this the children of God are manifest and the children of the Devil whosoever does not righteousness is not of God so the children of the Devil are people that don’t pursue righteousness and don’t live righteous.

What proves we are His children?

▶ Watch this part (54:10)

Short answer: The Spirit bears witness with our spirit as we love and do no harm.

From the sermonTranscript of this part · Pastor David G. Kincer

▶ 54:10 Because that’s why God comes and makes us new creatures new creatures of righteousness. And little by little we get more and more righteous and if you grow up in church as I did with Christian parents this can speed up when you come to Christ when you’re in a heathen home where they don’t even. Believe in God your growth is a lot slower from my experience in watching some people come in and grow fast others they grow slower so that background helps could that be an amen. I’m thankful for my parents raise them in a Christian home and making me go to church good. Neither is he that loves not his brother so see God in this create a new creature gives you a respect for other believers no matter how babies they are or how mature they are you.

▶ 55:11 Love them and do nothing to hurt them that’s a sign of being a new creature. In Romans 8:16 the spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God God doing this work in us is proof that our spirit is being changed into a new creature that’s the proof that’s the evidence aren’t you glad God’s on your side aren’t you glad he promised to do this and you’re not on your own you don’t have to follow a lot of rules and regulations and all that you follow rules and regulations but it’s not the rules and regulation that’s doing the work it’s him. Amen. So as the musicians come. The Bible says in Philippians 1:6. That he will finish the work he has begun in us this was a powerful scripture for me as a young Christian.

▶ 56:12 Because I would let him down a lot as a young believer and maybe you young believers don’t mess up but I let him down a lot but I knew. And I knew the night I got saved that I was going to heaven I knew that if I died I was going to heaven and I knew in the midst of my problems and growing in God that if I died I was still going to heaven. Because if you repent and you confess your sin he forgives. All right so he will complete the work who’s going to complete the work cries but we have to pursue him and that’s why when we come together first Corinthians tells us how church service is supposed to run okay we come together we pray together prayer time you pray and Jesus said when you pray say.

▶ 57:09 You don’t have to shout it out to break the sound barrier but you said you speak okay when you sing you sing God’s ordained these principles for you to have him come to you and develop your life and change you into a new creature and to when we speak we’ve got speak either by Revelation by knowledge or by prophecy this message that I’ve been given came to me totally by Revelation. Just a few weeks back. Told about Revelation. So we got to have prophesying. Speaking by the inspiration also should be in there oh it is prophesying right there I’m blind and the unlearned and the unbeliever is convinced by what by the prayers by the singing by the speaking of the word.

What matters in Christ?

▶ Watch this part (58:06)

Short answer: Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; don’t stop at Ephesians 2:8.

From the sermonTranscript of this part · Pastor David G. Kincer

▶ 58:06 And they fall on their face and say God is in you are you with me and so unlearned people are depending on us to come into God’s house this way could that be an amen. So they who don’t know can know not just go through the formality of a church service but have the power of God come now that was good preaching right there. Now second Corinthians 5:17 if any man being cries he is a what. New creature. All things are passed away what things that old man of sin that old man are doing what I want to do. And all things have become new what’s the new I want to do what he wants to do I want to do right and when I don’t do right I’m going to correct it I’m not going to make a big scene about it I’ll just correct it I’ll tell God I was wrong and I’ll just correct this thing and I may have to correct that thing 10 times before I finally get it corrected.

▶ 59:10 Have you ever done that yeah man I thought I learned my lesson on the third try but oh here I am Lord fourth here I am again but it works folks. And here is the kicker Galatians 6:15 in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything accomplishes nothing. Nor uncircumcision whether you’re a Jew or whether you’re a Gentile it has nothing to do with anything circumcision was given to Abraham as his work as his act as his action. To show that he accepted God’s covenant. All right was a shadow law we don’t do that anymore shadow laws are fulfilled. But we today believe.

▶ 1:00:02 Confess him as Lord confess our sins. We ask him for forgiveness and to cleanse us from sin we asked him to come and live in our life that’s what we do. And folks this is where most people stop. I meet so many people that stop at Ephesians 2:8. For by grace like you say through faith and not of itself not of work listen he mentioned boast they stop there. But God wants them to what be a new creature believing. And. And speaking of well I believe God I’m going to heaven uh I don’t have to do anything to get there to free gift to speaking it at accomplishes nothing.

▶ 1:01:04 If it is not making you a new creature your belief in God needs to change could that be an amen. And you know if you’re a new creature by how you speak and how you walk how how you live right or wrong and if you’re living wrong and you’re speaking wrong you got to go to him and let him keep making you a new creature because the other stuff is worthless if it’s not making us into a new creature sons of the living God can you feel that. And he promised to come by his Holy Spirit and by the power of God and do that in us. And we’re going to sing. Take me Jesus as I am that’s going to be our prayer song today.
