Who is Jesus? 03/10/2019: full transcript and answers

▶ 0:00 This morning we’re going to ask the question why is Jesus important to all of mankind I don’t care what the race is their nationality is their height their male female whatever why is Jesus. Important to all of mankind. That sounded like a logical question. In. Hebrews chapter 1. Verse 1 God at various times and in with different methods spoke in times past by the prophets okay. He spoke by Adam he Adam was a prophet and God.

▶ 0:54 Showed at him that Jesus Christ would come and put Satan under his foot. Right at the beginning. Enoch was a prophet Enoch converse with God and God took him he didn’t die again showing us that there’s going to be a transformation of people at the endtime from a mortal body to a immortal body then you have Noah and Abraham.

▶ 1:31 Abraham and you shall all the nations of the earth be blessed all of these prophets were speaking about Jesus Christ Job had again the Revelation of the resurrection of the dead at the end time and that was back in Abraham’s time was when Job lived and so he had Revelation of the resurrection of the dead he said I know my redeemer lives he knew Jesus was the redeemer he knew that Jesus was messiah was going to come and die to redeem the world and not only that but in the end he said this body that I am in we’ll die and go to the grave and the worms will eat my body but on the end day the last day my body will be resurrected and I will see him for myself in my body that’s Job hey that’s prophecy.

▶ 2:33 Before we had Daniel and all these other people talking about it and then you got [unclear] Jeremiah gave us the new covenant before it ever came and Ezekiel and all these prophets God talked to us through the prophets and that’s an amen yes. But God in these. Last days plural you see there’s the age of the first last days of the early church Jesus dying on the cross then there’s the days at the end when the last day church will be greater than the former church I’m just quoting your Bible you know and then in between was the period in between the that early church and the last state church.

▶ 3:33 So God spoke to us in the last days by his son Jesus by who Jesus Christ not the prophets okay so if this is true God is speaking to us today and until he comes through Jesus Christ then I submit to you the one who opened the mysteries that was hidden from the foundation of the world the Bible says is speaking all of these mysteries to us in every generation all right this Jesus rules out moroni. He hadn’t speaking through angels he’s speaking through what. Jesus there is no angel moroni and the mormon church is.

▶ 4:27 You say boy that takes guts and all that I said somebody’s got to speak up we got a call. Light light and dark dark we got a call wrong wrong and right right we gotta quit being this wishy-washy touch and that Satan loves for us to be just turn the other cheek go the extra mile there’s a time for that but there’s also a time to stand up and speak truth amen and so. It rules out allah and the angel that talked to allah was named jibreel which they said was gabriel but I tell them if it was gabriel then gabriel’s mixed up because you got jibril said that Jesus wasn’t the son of God and gabriel told Mary he will be called the son of God now either gabriel is mixed up and God is mixed up or you guys are just wrong could that be an amen now be nice to the musa I am nice to them but they got to hear the truth in.

▶ 5:35 That right. Hallelujah God doesn’t he isn’t confused and mixed up people are and so that rules them out you got russell of Jehovah witnesses white of the seventh-day adventists [unclear] Mary Baker Eddy of the Christian science church and so on God is speaking through Jesus. And. We need to tune in to Jesus amen and when you teach something conflicting with Jesus then it isn’t God talking to the people it’s you because God is talking to the people through Jesus in our day and hour and not what the scripture said everybody agree yes we got to get strong in our voice for God he spoken in the last days by his son Jesus don’t come and tell me your prophet you got a new message you can only prophesy his message in there right his message.

▶ 6:46 So that is why it’s important that all mankind hear Jesus and know about Jesus because it’s Jesus the one God is using to reach the whole world for him now who is Jesus. Same chapter Hebrews 1 he’s the heir of all things he made the ages the time periods between Adam and Noah he made that time period between Noah and Abraham he made that time period between Abraham and the carrying away to babel that he made that time period from karen away to Babylon to Jesus Christ he made that time period the early church he made that time period between the early church and the last day church the glorious church before he comes he made that time period he made the seasons see Jesus was before he came he always was and he always will be amen.

▶ 7:46 He made the earth in the heavens they didn’t evolve he just spoke him into being and we got to be strong about that and stop being wishy-washy above maybe could have been took a million years for him to create it then he’s not supernatural. Amen. We got to get his word out he is speaking through Jesus and Jesus spoke about the creation and he didn’t say it was created in a million years. The brightness of God he is and the express image of God’s person that’s why Jesus told his disciples if you’ve seen me you’ve seen the father I’m the exact image of God emmanuel God with us he is God in the flesh amen. Now he upholds all things by the word of his power see he’s what’s holding everything together when the prophet said that the heavens will be rolled back like a scroll it’s him letting go when he says the star they’re gonna fall and in that season before he returned its him letting them go right now he’s holding everything by his power are you with me yeah.

▶ 9:07 Very powerful in the last days when it says the earth will be renovated by fire he is letting it go and if you know science that atom should not stick together that atom should explode and all he has to do is let the nucleus a that atom go and everything will be renovated if you want to look at it in a natural mind you know you have to look at it in a natural mind he just lets it go and he wants fire guess what this earth’s going to be renovated that means the whole surface of the earth is going to be transformed by fire and then we’re gonna inherit a new earth with no water these pictures dov’è witness put out a lie and I tell them when you come to my door that’s not heaven he said well it’s a good you know picture of it no no it’s not even a good image the new earth didn’t have water and no animals none of that duff are you there I.

▶ 10:11 Mean we got to speak up we got a fight. Then he purged our sins and sit down at the right hand of the majesty on high there are two God part persons up there God the father on the throne and God in the flesh sitting on his right hand and the God in the flesh is the one that’s coming back at the last day and that’s the one we will see and we will see the nail prints and the spear and all that and the scars will know that’s the one the Bible talked about amen. The ugly one. I’ll beat up all scarred up now he’s the only conceived son of God his throne he’s a king on the throne and his righteous kingdom are eternal it always was and it always will be is that a good amen it isn’t that he started a kingdom it always had one and he’s always been a king he loves right and hates iniquity just like Joel Noah and Daniel.

▶ 11:23 We just got through talking about Job he sits on God’s right hand till all of his enemies are made his footstool and the last enemy to meet his footstool is death so how can he come. When all enemies has not been put under his feet. Hallelujah. Now. What did exactly Jesus say what did God in the flesh say remember now we showed you that he talked out of the whirlwind he talked by the prophets he talked about the out of the cloud he talked about out of a fire there’s different venues that God used to appear to men and talk to them or just a voice from heaven but now he’s talking through his son Jesus God in the flesh and he’s talking through him from the time Jesus came to the time he returns in that what Hebrews said so where do we go.

▶ 12:29 To get our truth. Jesus Christ and if you don’t believe in him and you don’t accept that how are you gonna get truth and how are they going to believe unless we tell them. Amen. And the whole world is he’s after the whole world yeah doesn’t the psalmist say that we are the his people and the sheep of his pasture that means the disease the weak sheep the healthy ones and all the rest are still hot his sheep the bad sheep and the good sheep are what his sheep and he wants all of his sheep to be in his fall amen. He wants the weak ones to be strengthened he wants the sick ones to be healed and he wants two bad ones to get straightened yeah so.

▶ 13:24 He isn’t coming by bright light anymore or anything he’s talking through Christ in the flesh now let’s look at the first words of Jesus Christ the very first words of Jesus Christ he spoke to Joseph and Mary recorded recorded in the Bible he spoke to Joseph and Mary these words he was at the temple they went down to a feast day and then his parents left and being bad parents they didn’t look to see if Jesus was with him because he was such a good kid he just always obeyed that they didn’t even think that he wouldn’t be with him but they get halfway home and there’s no Jesus so they’ll go back looking for him and they find him in the temple talking with the scribes and the priests and they were astonished at his knowledge of the scriptures well he wrote the scripture.

▶ 14:23 He’s God are you in me but they were astonished of what he knew at 12 years old so marrying them come into the temple and they say son why’d you do this we’ve been looking all over for you and Jesus turned around and looked at Joseph and Mary says. How is it that you sought me. You should know where I’m at and what I’m doing do you not know that I must be about my father’s business and yes they knew that gabriel came to Mary and said that’s this child’s gonna be conceived with the Holy Ghost supernaturally he’s going to be called the son of God he’s going to be called Jesus because he’s going to save his people from their sins and he’s going to be to the rising and falling of many in Israel he’s going to be the bright and morning star so they knew but 12 years went by and guess what they forgot.

▶ 15:27 How many got the forgot problem. Yeah. It amazing you got it down today and tomorrow what was that. So he remind him I got to be about my father’s business that they were both visited by an angel and we’re told what Jesus came and his purpose was for but they had forgotten that his destiny was not to just grow up and be a carpenter but to save the world through his own death. Jesus knew the scriptures revealed to him by God who wrote all the scriptures God in the flesh just as he reveals them to us if God come to Moses Joseph and Mary and revealed the purpose of God and his scriptures will he do it to us yeah he’s the same yesterday today and forever he’s not a respecter of persons if we seek the book of the law and read it he is obligated to what open our understanding to that word you know he died too he’s wanting to.

▶ 16:41 We just have a hard time finding time to read the book we got ever excused why we don’t read the book don’t we yeah study the book don’t just read it and so he wants to reveal his word to us he knew that God was his father here you see my father he knew that God was his father he wasn’t. Lacking any understanding of and he knew his purpose on earth at age 12 he. Knew his purpose they understood not what he spoke to them. And the reason is they forgot they were told as I showed you they forgot so that’s why we need the read that’s why we need to keep in contact that’s why we need to go to church and your teaching your prophecies and and spiritual prayer so that what we remember we don’t forget could that be a good amen.

▶ 17:40 What is the father’s business first Timothy 1:15 Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief God saved the chiefest of sinners as an example to the rest of us if he taught if he saved and delivered the very worst sinner than you our second best and you can be saved it’s a great example isn’t it. Because they were at the teaching going around that I committed the unpardonable sin I can’t get saved and all this duffing. Know. God saved the chiefest center he can save you amen now. Saved from what and for what. What are we saved from save means rescue so we’re in a position in a condition where we need to be what rescued so what are we were sq from what is that condition what is that situation that we are to be saved from and why is someone wanting us to get us out of that is that reasonable questions all right.

▶ 18:59 The punishment of sin is death Romans 6:23. But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ the Lord so we’re saved from death and we’re saved from death to have eternal life and this is eternal life John 17:3 says that we might know God the only true God and his son Jesus Christ who. Speaks to us amen who speaks to us now and all this is through Jesus Christ the Lord that’s why the whole world needs to hear about Jesus. Not our great. Speakers. Our great leaders they need to hear from who Jesus Christ himself.

▶ 19:54 All not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire the lake of fire is the second death we’re saved from death were saved from that second death eternal death in the lake of fire punishment for doing wrong. Right. This message is so powerful that when Paul stood before felix the governor and Paul looked at that governor in the eye and he said hey. He talked about. Doing wrong sinning and what’s right and he talked about self-control it says and he talked about the judgment to come what he was saying was felix you better turn and do right use self-control to do right or you’re gonna be judged by God in the end and when Paul.

▶ 21:02 Told the governor that that governor shook he trembled it scared him. That simple message is the message that the whole. People of this world need to hear all mankind need to hear this and they need to keep hearing it why because if Joseph and Mary forgot visited by angels. They can’t you hear at one time we got to keep one telling them and telling them and telling them and until they get it. Could that be an amen and that’s how we can change America the same way we got to unite as good citizens of America and fight for America to keep the freedom that our forefathers.

▶ 21:54 Offered to us keep the economy they offered to us and keep the Bible standards that they said no nation can can fulfill this unless they serve God I’m paraphrasing but that’s several of them spoke the only way this is work is to the righteousness of the scriptures the righteousness of God are you with me. Hallelujah so we need to do two things here as citizens of the kingdom we need to get the message out in the citizens of America we need to fight for our right in America amen we got to speak out now. Isaiah 66:2 says I look to him that trembles at my work I.

▶ 22:54 Take notice of the ones that tremble at my word they have a fear for my word how many of us could use a little trembling. In America we seemed so callous that when God comes with this kind of message oh I’m fine I got faith my faith I’m going to heaven we’re just callous it’s what it appears to me in America. The cross doesn’t move us much anymore we’re so leaning on faith my faith usually my faith that the word does not shake us I mean we raise your hand and say God shake me with the word yes if felix trembled and the prophet said to tremble then we need to be a fearful of this word now that’s why everybody needs to hear about Jesus Christ now he simplifies it Jesus is going to simplify this message of eternal.

▶ 24:01 Fire punishment in Luke 16 this famous rich man poor man parable. Why the rich man is in hell on the left why the poor sick man is in heaven is on the right and because this thing is preached all the time you I know you know all this so I’m just gonna whip right through it alright. There was a rich man clothed in purple and fine linen and prospered every day man he had the prosperity message down let me tell you everything was going fine for him he was rich and had a great income then there was Lazarus a beggar which was late at his gate full of sores. Lazarus desiring to be fed with crumbs from the rich man’s table and the dogs came and licked his sword has no prosperity there is there something wrong with his faith in there.

▶ 25:08 It’s so ridiculous when you look at the prosperity message it’s so ridiculous you have to be. With a wrong frame of mind to even believe that you have to be greedy to believe it in the first place. So. The beggar died I mean oh we all die yeah and was carried by angels and Abraham’s bosom do you hear that in heaven there was a celebration the Bible says God rejoices over the death of his saints oh. Here comes mr. Barnes come on let’s welcome the man come on angels get down there and get him. You know we look at death no ha ha ha ha and don’t get me wrong we should mourning all that bell so we need to know the other side.

▶ 26:03 Amen we’re all gonna die except the generation living when it comes and God is welcoming us with a celebration so heaven’s always celebrating up there angels go down get that one angel go down get that one. And not exciting to you he’s gonna send ambassadors to pick you up and take you in to eternity the rich man also died. And was buried that’s it no celebration no fanfare no nothing on the spirit side of the world nothing he just was buried and in hell he lifted up his eyes being in torments torments plural and so Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried out and said Abraham have mercy on me you see now why did God use a bruh I might as well clarify this for you why did God use the term Abraham’s bosom.

▶ 27:09 Because all the Jews when Jesus was preaching to him kept telling Jesus we are the children of Abraham. That was the religious dogma to reject Christ as. Not the messiah so Jesus use Abraham’s bosom same thing with paradise a main thing is the third heaven okay it’s all the same are you with me now you know that little tidbit. Abraham have mercy on me send Lazarus to cool my tongue with water for I am tormented then he’s flame now you got I got to remind you again when you die and that body goes to the grave that inner spirit body lives on and you can see it can smell it can taste it can feel pain it can talk it can do everything this physical body does but it is immortal it will not die.

▶ 28:13 So this guy’s spirit is in hell today waiting to be thrown into the lake of fire are you there now folks that is a serious thing and we need to take it seriously. Abraham replied to the rich man there is a gulf fixed between you and us you can’t pass from there and Lazarus cannot pass from here there’s no purgatory no limbo just heaven and hell heaven and hell avenue now. In your lifetime you received your good things and Lazarus evil things but now. Lazarus is comforted and you my friend are tormented.

▶ 29:08 So the question is why was the rich man tormented our wealth health and good things a sin. To be punished eternally for. Our poverty and disease a way to heaven. There’s a group in America that believe that if you’re poor you’re spiritual that’s my ridiculous thing I ever heard of I mean you know most of the people God used were wealthy in the Old Testament and the new and if not wealthy they were successful they were hard-working people and they were successful they provided for their home and you know they live conference up 90% of we’re very wealthy.

▶ 30:02 Very well-off and in the New Testament he chose 12 disciples and not one of them was poor and not one of them was ignorant. God didn’t choose losers in the natural world he chose winners in the natural world are. You there. Hallelujah so. What is it then why is the rich man going to hell and the sick man is in heaven the message of Jesus the message that every mankind needs to hear I. Asked that you sin Lazarus to my five brothers that he may testify to them to avoid that they come to this place of torment.

▶ 31:01 So now he’s concerned about his brothers he is in such pain he does not want his brothers his family to come to this place and he’s asking that Lazarus be resurrected and sent to them. Folks that was a little late wasn’t it how many of us Christians are going to get over to the other side and remember. Lazarus could see the rich man in hell being tormented and the rich man could see Lazarus in heaven being blessed and confident. You get up there and you look down there go my God that is horrible I should have I should have I should have. Spoken to these people around me I should have stood up to them.

▶ 32:00 It’s a little late huh and you know we can be a little late I mean you know we can be too nice and in our niceness we can literally let people go to hell because we don’t see the urgency of bringing Jesus Christ message to them. So Abraham says they have Moses and the prophets let them hear them. Moses is the law of the prophets are the ones that prophesy on about Jesus coming no father Abraham the rich man said but if one went from them from the dead they’ll repent if somebody raised up from the dead they will repent. So what Abraham is saying is the rich man had a chance to listen to the law in the synagogues and to the prophets and they didn’t take it and he said no but somebody rose from the dead went to them they’ll believe they’ll repent the word is repent not believe we got to get away from this extreme.

▶ 33:14 Leaning on the word faith. You don’t get to heaven by just faith you get to heaven by repenting you are persuaded you need to change your ways is that an amen alleluia and yes your faith will save you while you’re working on the problem in that right Jesus Christ will keep working with you in spite of you but it’s repentance is what’s going to work and it’s repentance it’s what’s going to help your family your marriage your community and your nation it isn’t faith. So he used the word repent and repent is the key admit were wrong in term from the wrong so Abraham says if they will not hear Moses and the prophets neither will they be persuaded to repent though one rose from the dead.

▶ 34:17 Okay and Abraham was right. God has in these last days spoken to us by who his son Jesus. Mark 16:9 who rose from the dead in that right this Jesus rose from the dead and how is God speaking to us in this generation through Jesus who rose from the dead not through a pastor of a church or an evangelist out there or he is speaking through Jesus who rose from the dead and all we have a right to teach and to present to people is Jesus Christ and his teachings is that an amen and not soft soap it not back up not feel bad for it not feel sorry for and not apologize for it we shouldn’t be apologizing for Jesus and his word amen.

▶ 35:17 We should know that’s what’s going to bring deliverance and healing and help the people and freedom. Alleluia. So the question is are you persuaded to repent of your sins and go to heaven or not repent and go to hell. Wealth health good things are irrelevant. They’re in material they have no bearing on this at all. See Lazarus being poor had nothing to do but God judging him or anything that. Lazarus did anything wrong it just that’s the cards dealt to him that’s the life God gave Lazarus and we learned that the almighty God can do what he feels our nose is right in now right.

▶ 36:16 And in the riches and the good things and the prosperity that the rich man had did not prevent him from going to heaven it was his lack of repenting and the rich men knew it he said my brothers will repent I didn’t repent they’ll repent if someone rose from the dead well Jesus did and many people still reject him oh. Yeah. That’s why the world needs to hear this message of Jesus and the father’s business we need to know now remember there’s five actions to restoration for from eternal fire from sin disease marriage problems income problems children problems in God spiritual problems remember God separated from Job for a season and Job.

▶ 37:11 Used five steps to be restored confess that God is almighty can you say God is almighty all-powerful he has the right to do what he knows is right. When he wants to do it how he wants to do it and he has the power said he has the power to perform what he promised. Hallelujah this is a supernatural thing secondly. Admit your sins in your faults can you say Lord Jesus I’m wrong. Specifically think of something that you’re being stubborn about and foolish about and then just say Lord Jesus I’m wrong.

▶ 38:06 Yeah be pacific nail it down. See was spiritualize remove your human thinking for a minute and get the thinking and looking at things from the spiritual man within you you see Job says now my eyes see you now I understand what my spiritual man and then he repented from his sins and his faults and then. He prayed for forgiveness. And he prayed for and forgave his enemies and folks we are our worst enemy the Bible says. You got to forgive yourself 70 times 70 man I did this thing again okay get out on your knees talk to God tell him and make.

▶ 39:02 The commitment to turn from it 70 times 70 he will keep forgiving but you got to ask and now right and you got to forgive yourself you know how many people I meet that haven’t forgiven themselves and so God can’t reach them because they don’t think they’re worthy of getting up from their horrible condition and and and consistent condition but he is if you make the simple step. To ask him to forgive you and you forgive yourself it is strictly Bible you’ve got to forgive yourself. Amen and those that have done you wrong because the Bible says if you don’t forgive your enemy then God won’t forgive you so you got to forgive yourself.

▶ 39:58 That’s a good message there folks don’t let the enemy come up and come in and say no no you’re worthless you know no I’m forgiven I forgive myself God forgave me don’t bother me. And remember this last week power went from Jesus and healed them all. Some were Jesus will come to you and the power of God will go from him to you can be a brother praying for you and the power God of Jesus goes from Jesus to you that brother praying is nothing he’s just obeying scripture and now right it’s the Jesus in us and that makes the least one of us a giant in the kingdom of God.
