In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of setting aside worldly concerns and focusing on God. He encourages listeners to humble themselves before the Lord and ask Him to reveal His will. The preacher highlights the fallen nature of the flesh and its alignment with Satan, urging listeners to repent and turn away from sinful behaviors. He emphasizes the need to die to the flesh and embrace righteousness, warning against the dangers of following old traditions or wrong teachings.

When anyone receives revelation in the Word of God, it sometimes conflicts with what he has previously been taught. This causes you to have to deal with old traditions or wrong teachings. These tapes may contain some new light from God's Word, and it may be opposed to some traditions you have previously learned. Therefore, follow through these messages in your Bible, in sequence, in order that you may be able to make a choice for the Word of God. We urge you to listen to all the tapes in the series in numerical order, so that the whole teaching can be received and understood. Listening to a part of this series or to the tapes out of sequence can lead to a misunderstanding of the nature, the intent, and the importance of the series. See, they live for the cart. Well, let me just tell you about that cart. See, this body is beautifully made, but see, it fell, and it was cursed. And I want you to know that the nature of this flesh right here is in total agreement with Satan. Everything Satan is, your flesh is. Now, what do you think about that? I mean, something has to die, a better die than what you're going to want with Jesus. Let me just give you an example. See, in your flesh, you're deceitful. You know that. The flesh is deceitful. Pride, same thing as Satan. Rebellious, same thing as Satan. Selfish, same thing as Satan. Slander, same thing as Satan. Ego, same thing as Satan. Idolatry, same thing as Satan. Hate, anger, murder, same thing as Satan. Resentment, unforgiveness, et cetera. However, one of these things, you know what all these things are saying? I, me, my. Are you seeing now that this cursed nature that you have here is just exactly like Satan? Do you understand that old things have passed away and all things have to become new when you receive Jesus? Amen. All right. See, the fleshly man acts just like Satan. He's selfish, he's self-centered, and he's Lord of his own life. Is that correct? This is why God said flesh died, because your flesh has to die. I mean, you have to die to the ways of Satan to walk with the Lord. See, the fleshly man, he welcomes anger and unforgiveness and greed. Are you, hear what I'm saying? A fleshly man that walks out to the carton, he welcomes anger. He gets mad if something comes against his carton. He's greedy. He wants to, he wants the last quarter in this world for his carton. Greedy. Selfish, everything around his carton. He welcomes all this. Yes, sir, Mr. Devil, I see what you're saying. That's what I say. I'm in agreement with you. His thoughts say on himself, he's wise in his own eyes. This is the way of the world, the people of the world. They live for the temple. The old man, they live for the carton. That's what everybody in this world lives for. They live for the world. They find their portion in the world. When a person finds his portion in this world, he's rejecting God. Is that plain? Your heart's going after the wrong thing. That is the test, folks. Are you seeing it? Do you see you're tested? Everything God's ever made that's created is tested. They live for the temporal things rather than the heavenly things. Let me just put it another way. Satan doesn't come to you and say, bow down and worship me. He doesn't do that. What he does, he just comes and intensifies these flesh desires that's supposed to be dead. You're supposed to be dying to them, resisting them. But you just come, yeah, Devil, you know, if you're not even in the war, what do you think's happening? See, he intensifies these flesh desires. All the flesh desires say, everything, all these things say, I, me, my, we, us. That's flesh. That's carton talk. That's carton talk. I, me, my, we, us. That's the world. See, and now all of that is selfishness. Selfishness. That's being Lord of your own life. And then it becomes self-love. Self-love becomes self-worship. You see it? See, and then you become, when you're in self-worship, that's the same as worshiping Satan. See, when a demon of unforgiveness or resentment or greed or lust or something, you know what he's coming to when he's whispering a thing? He's saying, see, the flesh is supposed to die. He's saying, flesh, come alive. See, unforgiveness is supposed to be dead. See, it's already in the flesh, but it's supposed, you're supposed to be dying to it, right? He said, come alive, unforgiveness. The Bible's always said that you're to forgive immediately, but you just keep listening to unforgiveness. You don't even know a thing about resisting the devil because we've always thought he couldn't come to folks like us. Didn't we? See, the demons come to you and they say, come alive, resentment. Come alive, unforgiveness. Come alive. That car with the steel and park it over here where people can see it in my clothes, you know, and come alive. Pride's supposed to be dead. See a person just find this portion in this world. Come alive, hate. Come alive, jealousy. Come alive, envy. You don't have to allow this inner life to come forth. You know what has to happen first? This has to be broken. The other one has to be broken. You know, that's why the reason the Lord gives the example about the grain of wheat that falls in earth first. I mean, if you just put it up there, there's no inner life in it. But when it dies, the outer dies, it just breaks open and the life comes forth out of it. See, that's why this has to die. Your will has to give over to, you choose. Your will goes, gives over to the spirit and you have to die to this. And let me just tell you another way to say it. When a person, when a demon comes to me, I want you to know that you do suffer. You will suffer and you will be persecuted in this world. No one in this world of God never got through this world representing God. It wasn't persecuting or suffering. But when that demon of unforgiveness comes to me and talks to me and then bang, I shut it off. You know what I'm doing right then? I suffer in my flesh because my flesh wants to go upside his head, see. Well, you know what I'm ready to do? I resist it. And if I'm still having trouble, now Lord, I choose in my will to forgive this person. And I, from your throne right now, I'm receiving grace and love and forgiveness that's flowing through me to that person. Now when you have a attitude and a mind of restoration and you won't let that demon, you'll love that person. You'll feel so sorry for that person. Now that is grace. And that's the way it works. But see if you, if you choose, and you know what happens when you do that? You resist that unforgiveness. It, now listen to me, watch me. It's as if you just took your arms and just put them around the father's neck. And you're saying, Lord, Father, I love you more than I love myself. That's covenant. That's covenant love. I choose you and I choose against myself. I choose you rather than choose the devil. That's the only time you'll find the comforter comforting you. Where's the comforter been? And you know what happens when you do that? That comforter is turned loose. He just loves you. God just loves you. Comforts when you walk in covenant. How do you bear fruit for God? You have to walk in covenant. Make Jesus Christ Lord and die of the flesh that he desires, obey his word. You know, we got that in John 12, 24, for grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies. It bears much fruit. If it dies, it bears much fruit. It doesn't bear much fruit if it doesn't die. It has to die first. That's the process. So what do we say when we make covenant? We put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh. Whoever loses his life and his carton, for my sake and the gospel's the ones that's going to save it. Does that sound like covenant? Is that good, Jack? In other words, we say over later in Revelation, they overcome by the blood of the lamb. What is the blood of the lamb? That's a victory it's been won for us at Calvary. They overcame by the blood of the lamb. That's a victory at Calvary. The word of their testimony, the word of their testimony is not when we shook some preacher's hand. We say what God said. We overcome by the victory at Calvary, the blood of the lamb, the word of our testimony, and love not our carton until death. You can't walk out to this stuff, folks, from walking to heavenly. I told Jack a while ago, I said, this is, I see this covenant, you and me sharing. I should have started here before I ever started over the covenant because people are tired of hearing about walking Jesus. Then you've got the fear of God and you go, you want to hear how can I do it? Let me just jump in and do it right now. He said, what's it profit a man that loses? If he gains, the whole world loses its own soul. Do you know that one soul is worth more than the whole world? Therefore, it said this whole world is meaningless, less than meaningless. The only thing that matters to God is righteousness. Do you know that sins of the flesh lead you from the will of God? Are you seeing that, folks? I don't want to go too fast. I want you to give me a second just to meditate on it. Sins of the carton lead you from the word of God. See, fleshly sin strikes back at God's right to control your life or discipline your life. You choose. See, we're supposed to die out of things such as resentment, gossip, jealousy, hate, envy, greed, lust, pride, fear, anger, murder. We're supposed to die out of all these things. Not welcome them. See, all these things are the fruit of Satan. You're I, me, my. Every one of these things and more, they're just all I, me, my. That's the fruit of Satan. That Satan manifests in the what? Flesh. That is the mystery of iniquity. Are you seeing it? That's the anti-Christ. See, everything that Christ is, here's the opposite. So we resist these things when they come to our mind. Now look at me. I'm telling you what's the truth. When you get talking about demons, if you just let a man walk the world so somebody see him everybody, is that a man? We resist all these things. That's how you resist the devil. And when you won't receive greed and pride and all these things, he has to flee. Are you seeing that? Now, would you like to see how a demonized man acts? Now, look, let's just turn to the Old Testament right now. We're going to look at a demonized man in the Old Testament. Turn with me, please, to 1 Samuel. Now, where does the enemy talk to? Inner thoughts. Is that correct? That's true. In 1 Samuel 15. All right, let's look at verse 10. Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel saying, and this is what the Lord says, I regret that I made Saul king. The Lord regretted it, for he has turned back from following me and has not carried out my commands. And Samuel was distressed and cried out the Lord all night long. Now, let's look in verse 19. And here's what Samuel says to Saul. Samuel goes to Saul and he says, Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord, but rushed upon the spoils of the goods and did what was evil in the sight of the Lord? And then in verse 22, and Samuel said, and he's talking to Saul now, he said, Has the Lord as much delight in burnt offerings as he took cattle and things that he's supposed to destroy? And he said he's going to use them for a sacrifice. And so Samuel said, Has the Lord as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than a sacrifice. You know that to obey the Lord is better than a sacrifice, to heed than the fatter rounds. For rebellion, that's rebellion to God's word, is as a sin, a witchcraft, or divination. Is that strong? That's rebellion to God's word. And in subordination as the mystery of iniquity and idolatry. Because you've rejected the word of the Lord, a lot of people reject the word of the Lord, don't they? He has rejected you from being king. And watch what Saul said. Then Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, I have indeed transgressed the covenant. Do you see that? The commands of the Lord and your words, because why? He feared the people and listened to their voice. You know, a lot of people transgress the word of the Lord by being fearful of people. Do you believe that? Chapter 16, verse 1. Now the Lord said to Samuel, How long will you grieve over Saul, since I've rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go, and I'll send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have selected a king for myself among his sons. And then we see in verse 6, Then he came about when they entered, and he looked at the ebb and thought, Surely the Lord's anointing is before him. And this is another son of Jesse. But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance or the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the what Do you think God's changed? He's not looking at the outward period, but the Lord looks at the what. All right. Then we look at verse 13. Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him, anointed David. You know, he came to his younger brother in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. Then Samuel arose and went to Ramah. Now, I want you to watch what happened in verse 14. Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and the what Can I just go ahead and say it's them? From the who? Terrorized him. Well, where'd that demon come from? Who sent that demon? When the Lord loses control of demons, it doesn't out of God's control. Go ahead while they're rebellious. Verse 15. Saul's servant then said to him, Behold, now an evil spirit from the Lord is terrorizing you. Everybody knew what demons were back then. See, when you choose evil, you'd get evil. Do you see that? So the Lord sent an evil spirit to Saul, and then you know later on that David kills the life of John and makes covenant with Jonathan. You remember we read that, didn't we? Why don't you turn to 1 Samuel 18? 1 Samuel 18. You remember those first three verses we saw? Jonathan and David making covenant. And I don't believe that Saul is liking this too well. See, he's already demonized. Is that right? Shake your head. I don't be sneaky. Now in verse 7. And the women sang as they played and said, Saul is slain his thousand. Now Saul is the king. He slayed thousand, but look what they're singing about David. And David is ten thousand. Well, see old Saul already has a demon problem. Man, they make him a little jealous, don't you? A little angry. They can kind of hate old David. Well, let's see what happens. Then Saul became what? Very angry. For this saying what? It displeased him and he said, they have ascribed to David ten thousand, but to me they have ascribed thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom? And Saul looked at that at David with what? What's that word? That's suspicion, didn't he? From that day on. And now it's easy to tell what's in Saul's heart right here. He has anger, jealousy, hate and murder, fear. See, he's fearful of David taking the throne away from him and everything, isn't he? Well, let's see how he reacts to all that. Now, where is it that where is it demons talk to you at? Right here in your thoughts. Is that right? Okay, let's go ahead there. Verse 10. Now it came about on the next day, then of what? He's getting loaded up. Here's another, some more from God. Came what? See, the spirit of God came mightily on David and now the spirit of the devil has come mightily on Saul, right? Well, then you can expect David to act like God and you can expect Saul to act like who? All right. Depending on what kind of seed you're receiving, what kind of spirit you've got in you and that's who you're going to act like. You're going to know them by the proof. Let's see a act. It came this evil spirit from who? And he what? For he raved in the midst of the house while David was playing the harp with his hand as usual and a spear was in Saul's hand and Saul hurled the spear for he what? What did he think? He thought murder. Who's talking to him? Are you seeing? Now when he thought he hurled the spear, the demon's telling him murder. The spirit of murder is telling him kill him. And I will pin David to the wall. But David escaped from his presence twice. Now Saul was a what? See, that's spirit of fear. God didn't give you a spirit of fear. Where's the spirit of fear come from? And he was afraid of David, fear of David for the Lord was with him but had departed from Saul. Therefore Saul removed him from his presence and appointed him as his commander of thousands and he went out and came in before the people. That means he's blessed coming and going. God's on him. You see it? Fourteen. And David was prospering in what? All his ways. That's what happens when you're walking in covenant. For the Lord was with him. And when Saul saw that he was prospering greatly, he what? Well, now we see murder and fear and dread, don't we? He dreaded him. Well, I'm telling the demon's just taking him over, aren't they? All right, but all Israel knew to love David and he went out and came before them. Then Saul said to David, These demons are all, see they're planning to do away with David with Saul. They're going to use Saul to destroy David. That's the power of the darkness, right? They're pulling the levers there. Then Saul said to David, Here is my older daughter, Marab, I will give her to you as a wife, only be valiant man for me and fight the Lord's battles for Saul what? I hope you're marking as we go through. Saul fought again. Every time he fought, here's what, let's see what he's thinking this time. And we'll see, we know where it's coming from. When you see what he's thinking, then you know what demon's talking to him. For he thought, my hand shall not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him. He's thinking murder again. You see what thought it is? Then you see what is, who's talking to him. Now that, so in verse 19, So it came about at that time when Marab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David that she was given to Adriel, Meholathite for a wife. In other words, he flat totally lied there. Didn't he? He just lied. He didn't give the wife to David. He lied about it. And so there is a lying spirit. Are you seeing how when people are demonized how they act? Uh, let's look in verse 20. Now Michelle, Saul's daughter, loved David and when they told Saul the thing was was agreeable to him. And then 21, here Saul thinks again. And Saul thought, And here they are talking to him again. I will give her to him that she may become a wife to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against her, be against him. See he's still thinking that deceit, jealousy, and murder right there. Is that kind of interesting folks? See once you, once you know something, once you have an understanding about it, then you know what you're going to see. But you'll find out some of the things we call one thing in the bible is something else. But this is going, hey, don't be discouraged any folks, because this is going to get clearer and clearer by the hour. Maybe we're just getting started in this thing. Okay? All right. And 21, now let's look in verse 25. Saul then said, thus you shall say to David, the king does not desire any dowry except 104 skins of the Philistines to take vengeance on the king's enemies. Now Saul what? Now see right there, he's planning murder. He planned to make David fall by the hands of the Philistines. And that's what the powers are darkness. If he's suspicious, he's jealous, he's angry, he hates, he has murder, fear, and dread. We've already seen that. Now, let's look at 19. Chapter 19, just a couple of more verses and you can come back. Let's look in verse 9. Now there was a what? From the who? Lord on Saul as he was sitting in his house with this compulsion for murder. See this evil spirit, you see first it tells the evil spirits up there in one verse and then the next verse he's doing murder. Do you see what the Lord's trying to show us and tell us? Shake your head. All right. And Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of, well, that's what I want you to see. And now as we go on and on, you're going to find the most amazing things and you're going to find out they're just not isolated places, folks, when you start dealing with the powers of darkness. It starts from the front to the back. But first you have to believe they're there. Now, I want you to turn with me to Galatians 5, please. Galatians 5, Galatians 5. I believe we'll start in verse 13. For you were called to what? Isn't that good? You were called to free them, brethren, for only due opportunity for the what? Do you see that? Don't turn any opportunities in for the flesh. That's what the devil always tells you to do, make every opportunity an opportunity for the flesh. But through love, serve one another. What do you think people are doing that don't take opportunities, like the devil tells them? If they're doing that, they're kind of biting to devour one another. Huh? Do you think they will? Let's look in verse 15. But if you want, you bite and devour one another, that's what we're kind of used to. Take care lest you be consumed by one another. But I say, walk by the what? Now, that means the inner man and if you walk this way, if you mark in this, and you will not carry out the what? If you walk in the spirit, you're not going to carry out the desire of the flesh, because you were called into liberty and freedom. And that's good. 17. I mean it sets its desire against what? It sets its desire against the spirit, and the spirit sets its desire against what? They're totally opposite. One's in agreement with Satan and the world, and one's in agreement with God. For these are in what? These are in what? Opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you want. Folks, look at me. Did you just read in this Bible right here, that you cannot do the things your carton wants to? Well, you just write right after that, the lust of the flesh. You can't do it. I mean, your Bible just said there, you can't do the things you please with the carton. Just write it down. But if, there's a condition, verse 18, I hope you mark if. If you're being led by the spirit, you're not under the law. We're free. I mean, we got the word of God. If we're walking in the spirit, we're walking in the word. Do you understand that? We have this word written in our hearts. And if you want to make yourself a little note, Romans 8, verse 4, you see it clear over there. Now, I want you just to completely remove demons from your mind here right now. We're going to look at the flesh by itself, absolutely without any demons about it. We're going to see what's in the flesh. Okay, let's see. Now, the deeds of the flesh, we're going to see some of the deeds of the flesh here, are evident. Are they evident? You can tell them by their fruit, can't you? Mark evident. Which are, number one, immorality. Now, that covers a number of things, doesn't it? Impurity, that covers a number of things, doesn't it? Sensuality, that covers hundreds of things. Idolatry, sorcery, that's flesh. Forget about demons, that's already in the flesh. Enmities, strife, jealousy, outburst of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these of which I want. God's trying to warn you about something. I forewarn you that I have forewarned you that those who practice such things shall not enter the kingdom of God. Is that plain? Front view, back view, platform. The wages of sin is what? Now, as you've seen all these things right here in the flesh, this is what God says die to. And the demons come along and they say, come alive, come alive, come alive. And see, in a person who's walking in the spirit of God, we're going to understand that it dies to these things and dying to them. Is that what your Bible says? Do you want to go by what your Bible says? Which do you choose? Do you want to go find somebody, actually see something in the word of God about demons and say, well, I don't like that demons. You remember what I told you, do you ever, do you ever, uh, say, well, I just don't like this. Do you ever try to jump in front of a train, just tell it to stop? Do you remember I mentioned that? See, you better find that first. We better say, I don't like it. We better find out why things are the way they are. And look, and then we decide, we just better decide to look at the things from God's point of view. Because there's no wisdom, no counsel, there's no understanding against God. We better put a vote on God. All right, let's go ahead right here. But the demons come along and they tell all these things that come alive. But the fruit of the spirit. Do you think that, uh, there might be a people that has the form of godliness? With these things in their lives? Do you think they may know God? Do you think it might be a fallen away? I think it kind of implies, you know, it says a lot of things right here that we've skipped over in places like that. It's there. Is it there? Do you understand why I might have a question or two about salvation today? I don't, I'm gonna cut this out. I'm gonna leave it in and I'm gonna look for a light. Are you? All right. Don't never proclaim something until you know it. But I want to tell you what, don't you never sweep scripture on the rug. Don't you have it ever fitting a structure, because I want you to tell you this is the structure. This is the structure it better fit. You better be teachable. You better be willing to unlearn anything you ever learned. Jesus can't lead you in all truth if you don't. All right now verse 22. Well, I could pursue that question about salvation just with a whole bunch of things. And I'm going to tell you something. As sure as God is opening up other things to us. And we walk in what light we have. And move out of this thing we're in. He always said I'm gonna lead you in all truth. I'm gonna show you the whole thing. You walk in covenant with me. I'll lead you in all truth. I'm the structure. So verse 22. But the fruit of the spirit. Now see here's the opposite. That's the fruit of satan up there. That's the fruit of demons and the flesh. See all this supposed to be dead. And a person say well that's just. That's just the flesh. How do you know it's a demon? Well. If it's just the flesh it sounds like you're going to hell. Sounds like you don't know the Lord. Sounds like it's a pretty serious thing doesn't it? It's not supposed to be there if it's just the flesh is it? See folks let me tell you something. When the powers of darkness move in you have compulsions to do things you don't want to do. It's a compulsion. When you give ground and when you try to get away from it and everything. You can't get away from it until you come back to the cross. Calvary. You have to overcome the victory at Calvary. You can resist and all these things you can do but you can't control it. It's just like you know that people sit in the church and they lust toward the choir. Sometimes they just sit there so under and in condemnation and guilt all over them. Trying to walk with the Lord. See the satan has programmed us while he tears us apart inside to hide all this garbage and stuff that's happening to us. See we don't go ahead. We don't. Those are the things we don't ever talk about what satan's doing to us. You understand that folks? That's the cover-up. That's where pride is. That's where that he's programmed the world to hang in there while I destroy you. And see the church come in there hanging in there. You understand the church is hanging in there right? Do you understand when you want to have understanding about this thing that this is good that I'm sharing with you? The bad thing is when you didn't know anything about it. The good thing is when you have understanding. You know why you're having understanding? Why I have understanding for it? Because the grace of God and God has chosen each one of you just even knowing anything about this. If you have any understanding, it's all divine appointment. I'll tell you a lot of people don't want to go come and sit down three hours and hear the word of God. That's kind of boring. You're out there. Well, I promise you one thing. They'll probably have a nice funeral because they can get a nice coffin and a lot of flowers. Know a lot of folks out there getting acquainted. 22. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace. This is just the opposite. Patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there's no law. Now folks, I want you to know that this fruit, remember the branch doesn't just do this here by itself, you know. This is something that the Lord Jesus Christ divine produces in you if you and as you walk in covenant. Amen. And as you start resisting the enemy, when he sees you start resisting, you know what happens? Grace shows up. Grace is the power that empowers you that you always triumph in Jesus' name over the powers of darkness. Now, amen. Grace is a power. You walk in it. You don't analyze it anymore. Walk in it. I've got a refrigerator verse for you here now. Right out in front of this refrigerator. Now those, mark those and see if you're one of those. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have what? Crucified the flesh with it what? Do you belong to Christ Jesus? If I could read my Bible it says you've crucified the flesh with all its passions and desires. Is that what your Bible says? If you don't like it, get your scissors out and cut it out. I told you it's going to get interesting before we got through Saturday, didn't I? See, wait till I get past this point. I don't worry about anybody missing. You will be back. 25. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become what? Oh, you'd never catch us doing that, would we? We'd never be boastful about anything. No, sir. Read. Except about our church and our works. Challenging one another. What's that word? Ending one another. Got one more refrigerator verse on here. Next chapter, verse 3. For if anyone thinks he's something, when he's nothing, he what? Won't you just go ahead and decide you're nothing? There's a whole lot of be a freedom being nothing, you know that? Not having to be anything. The only way you become important is have God in your life. So that means the only thing that matters is what God's saying, right? Well, if you're pleasing God, God's doing a whole lot of things. You know what you're about to become? A tree of life. Do you know what the fruit of righteousness is? The fruit of walking in covenant People come and pick off that fruit of love. They come over and get joy off that tree. They get peace off of your tree. They get salvation. And where you go, you're sloshing on people. Convict the world and it draws them to life. Brings them to Jesus. Are you seeing what I'm telling you folks? You are supposed to be a tree of life. And that only comes by walking in covenant. It's something that God does. It's all grace. It never was never never was. Now have we decided that when God's not be deceived that we decided that we might be so smart that we we could be deceived, couldn't we? We better listen when God says not to be deceived. All right, I want you to watch what he says there in verse seven. Do not be what? Have you circled deceived yet? Do not be deceived. God is not what? Malked for whatever a man sows this he will also reap for the one who sows to his what? Own flesh shall from the flesh reap what? Corruption but the one who sows to the what? Shall from the spirit reap what? There's a good salvation verse. Where's your heart? Where are you living at? So if you sow into the flesh you reap what? And if you sow into the spirit of God you reap what? What kind of fruit you have? You'll know them by their what? Okay I'm not you can watch somebody and you can tell where who their image of can't you? You see who they're a likeness of That's fruit And then when you look at the likeness You can see what kind of seeds in the field in there You can kind of see what kind of seed got planted in there, right? Amen Well, we don't want to be deceived do we? If you've been deceived repent, don't you turn with me to romans 6, please that repentance Is becoming a very interesting word today, isn't it? We found out there's a little more to it than quit drinking smoking chewing and cussing Huh? Yeah, a lot of people think all you have to do is come over here and say those magic words Clean up your act quit smoking and chewing And drinking and cussing and lying and stealing And come to church on sunday morning because They've seen these nice funerals where all the flowers They watched old bill go off Bill had you know He had a little woman problem, but Well that creature just almost cried himself when old bill went off Tears there goes old bill Think about it bill's already in hell See, they talk to you at those places too. That's pagan Taking on over the carton That doesn't mean you won't miss someone but you know the Flash the carton that's us. That's all left to him out. There's just cartons That's where people are living if you see that's all you see if you're living in it If you're living out the flesh, all you can see is part in what you see with your eyes See if you're living in the heavenly and someone gets loose from this thing to go with the heavenly I think you kind of rejoice for Of course there's one thing That you can do here you can't do there you can go get these people that's got smoke on Into heaven with you If you're a tree of life If you're walking in covenant, it's a lot more interesting than getting someone to join something in it Huh? But seem to be a lot more serious grace is perverted folks Grace has been perverted Grace is that strength and power that comes from god It makes us a new creation to walk in this word and act like him and talk like him and his likeness Is that true well, let's read here chapter 6 verse 1 What shall we say then are we continuing sin that what Grace may increase May it never be Have you got that marked yet? How shall we who died to sin still want You still live in it Or do you not know won't you mark that do you not know either you know, you don't know if you don't know you need to know Or do you not know that all of us who've been baptized into christ jesus have been baptized into his what See, even that gets a little perverted right there that jesus already did it I'm, just going to continue. I just walked like satan talk like satan act like satan I'm going to go back to heaven for the same thing that satan got kicked out of heaven for doing That's a joke That's perverted grace So you understand if the enemy does pervert things this enemy that we've been ignoring does pervert are you understanding that He gets you're locked in it's so locked into your traditions Sometimes in some places i've been to they have court lists some man's opinion of the bible Don't you dare pick up your bible We're kind of locked in who do you think's uh enforcing all that? We'd rather teach the opinion of a man rather than the word of god That's perversion I'm glad we don't do that now verse four Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into what? In order now, we're going to be baptized to death in order for something We're going to see what this baptized into death is in order for it That is christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the father now, here's in order so we to my what Walk where? Sound like you might have a new likeness and a new image Are you not out there bearing fruit for satan? Are you? You're dying to all that. We'll see in a minute. Let's go ahead five For if we have become what? Now mark these as you go united with him in the what? Likeness of his death. Is that covenant when you die to yourself? Did he die to himself? Do you have to die to yourself? You died to the lust you you you put on the lord jesus christ And make no provision for the lust of the flesh never again. It's over It's over for the carton United with him in the likeness of his death. Certainly we shall also we'll be also in the what? Praise god for every more that'll just make you want to get on your face, isn't it? Oh, i'm telling the lord his son. He's so precious, isn't he? Well, I mean that that he could he would consider us you understand that that he considered you let me just tell you nothing See we we get programmed in the world to compare ourself among ourself and measure ourself and we find folks and there's something That's that's the boastful pride of life Oh i'm telling you But it looks like he's choosing us in spite of it, doesn't he now verse six That we're going to be in a lack knowing this that our old self was what Crucified with him that our body of sin what what's it word? Our body of sin might be done away with that. We should want No longer be slaves of sin any longer the power of the cross has set you free You overcome by the blood of the lamb the word of your testimony and you love not this carton until death you're free from sin You know what happens? Look at me. Well, I like this You move right over here in christ Right here am in christ Peace have a repentant heart my center confessed peace is all around me and then here comes the dark Unforgiveness Here comes the missile No, thank you. Mr. Devil ain't coming out Sure, ain't gonna come out of here devil Here comes lust Ain't coming out devil I'm not coming out lust. I like it in here just real peaceful in here Anger ain't coming out devil I'm staying in here in christ And then One day i'm deceived And jealously talked to me and I became jealous and bang all of a sudden i'm out here I'm not peaceful anymore See instead of the pressures hitting christ over here. They're hitting me now. I'm just I said lord what I do He said you were jealous lord. I agree with you I've sinned And I don't just make mental assent to it lord Right here in my heart. I turn from this jealousy right now. I call it dirt And I repent and turn from it I ask your forgiveness and your word says if I confess my sins you forgive me and I change right here in my heart And from your throne, I receive forgiveness I'm back in peace again He says i'll prepare a table for you milk Hmm Right in the midst of your enemy the walls coming down ceiling sit down and eat Eat that bread right there. It's all in my hand Right in the middle of your enemy After you see me start running directly and I disappear for a little while of grace first seven For he who has died Is free from sin. Have you died? If you hadn't died I suggest you make jesus christ lord and die That's what will happen if you make him lord you will die verse 11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to god in christ. Jesus Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body that you should what? You do not obey the lusts of Sin And do not go on presenting the member your bodies to sin as an instrument of unrighteous But present yourself to god as those alive my dead And your members of instruments of righteousness to god For sin shall not be master over you for you're not under the law, but you're under what? Look at me Are you understanding something about the grace of god folks you understand there's no big shots in the bunch There's only one his name is jesus now, let me tell you something it'll break your heart And you sin You sin against grace You sin against the but you shake your fist at the grace of god Now is that right or not? verse 15 What then shall we sin because we're not under the law but under grace? And that a good question your bible right there says may it never be Have you marked that yet? Do you not know that when you present yourself to someone is slave for obedience You are slaves of the one whom you obey either of sin resulting in death or the obedience resulting in righteousness May I ask you who you're a slave of are you a slave of righteousness? Are you a slave of sin? I'll tell you who your master is when I find out next verse 17 But thanks be to god that though you want what's that word? I please mark were I wouldn't want you to read through that anymore Thanks be to god that though you were slaves of sin You became obedient from the what? heart To that form of teaching of which you were committed and having been what? Free for sin you've now become slaves of what? Will you please mark slaves of righteousness? May I ask you are you a slave of covenant? If you're not a slave of covenant You're not free from sin. I see we're going to keep pointing back to covenant and covenant and covenant and covenant and covenant Is walking right in god's point of view. It's not according to some denomination Are some man there's one righteousness and that's looking from god's point of view And when you walk in righteousness, of course, it's obvious. The only thing right in god's eyes is his covenant and word. Is that correct? I want you to look with me now in verse 22 Now having been freed from sin and enslaved to god you derive your benefit resulting in what? Sanctification may I ask you what your obedience to god really does sanctification is Can I just go ahead and tell you I want you to remember this. It's a separation It's the separation from the world into righteousness So your sanctification And then the outcome of this sanctification and separation and being slave to righteousness is what what's those last two words? What's the outcome? Folks, let me ask you something Does the word say that the word way is narrow? The door is small Do you think we might have widened the door a little bit where the whoops and tears and the devils and everything else has come in folks Kind of interesting things where you find eternal life in here, isn't it verse 23 for the wages of sin is death Front seat back seat the wages of sin is death But the free gift of god is eternal life in jesus christ our lord Now, let me just tell you something folks fleshly living Living opens the door for a person to come under demonica bondage when you choose to go up the carton. You're opening the door Because you're living under satan's will rather than will of god. Are you seeing that? see fleshly Sin is choosing these gods That please your carton flesh rather than choosing the true and living god. Are you seeing that? All fleshly sin flows out of the old man the cart See satan appeals to the flesh senses, doesn't he? Doesn't he come along and say come alive see the nature of it Sorry, we already saw what's in the flesh forgetting about demons. He just tried to get those stuff to come alive It's supposed to be dead. Is that right? Are you beginning to understand how the demons talk to you now folks? We're talking about the war against the covenant See you're a tree of the field And you can tell who you listen to be a fruit I'd like to say it again You put on the lord jesus christ in romans 13 and you make no provision for the loss of the carton I mean, it's just saying it over and over and over unless you've got something else worked out I think a lot of people got some other things worked out If you ever wonder what the will of god is it's his covenant It's his word When we see receive jesus christ his lord, we take an oath to walk in this covenant. Do you understand that? See, it's not a lot of spiritual abortions Someone gets a little conviction Or he backs like he's going to repent and everything we grab him and get him hurry say some words And I don't never doubt your salvation. You're saved Don't never doubt your salvation You're now saved Trust your decision And then he walks away in many cases Deceived Confused and defeated see because Anytime is a new birth You're going to see life Anytime there's a new birth You see hunger And if it's a spiritual birth You'll see scriptural salvation and then this fellow goes along and the enemy always remind him to trust your decision And they come back on sunday morning we tell him he can't lose something he never did have in the first place And you know which direction he's going and what we're really saying And just keep walking in stubbornness stiff neck And you know tell people on sunday morning how righteous and how good How they're seated in the heavenly? Why they walk talk and act like they? deception perversion asleep Falling away When you receive jesus christ as lord If jack taylor over there is my lord I do what he tells me to That's what would make him lord I want to tell you something that jesus said You make covenant with him you call him lord. He asked a good question at one time Said why do you call me lord lord and not do what I say? Is that a pretty good question? Then if jesus is not lord, who does that leave who is lord? You better believe it. See it's easier to walk in the ways of satan because that's what you've been brought up in But see then it's supposed to be something happened called repentance change of direction And repentance doesn't come but mental assess it comes in a heart attitude for with the heart man believes into righteousness Now The world says if you got it flown it the lord says If you got a light Let it shine And that's put it on the bed and people see your light. You'll know them by their what? Amen now Turn with me, please to romans 8 romans 8 now I'm going to tell you what when you move From the world and from the devil from the carton into christ. Jesus. They're no longer supposed to be any guilt or condemnation Says though in the first verse, I mean if it comes up there, it's a lie But you're not going to be understood. You're not going to discern this And you're not going to know the difference in it until first That you totally repent of all the sin that's in your life Unconfessed sin see the enemy demons are holding on in your life. Now folks. This is so important. They're holding on in your life just then I used to try to wear demons out. I thought you just had to just keep hanging in there He's just laughing at me Of course, they were holding on to sin in that person's life. Now. I'll tell you something Probably it'll be saturday That we're going to pray together and we're going to cancel ground And I want to tell you folks I either going to listen to me or you're not the only thing I do is just tell you If you'll deal with all the unforgiveness and sin All the doubt and unbelief and all these things you get before god cry out to him Let it be more come more important to you what god thinks and what anything or anybody thinks? And you repent You get back in here and we get together on saturday all we're going to do is just say boo devil in jesus name Your life is so totally going to change and you Listen to me You never never Never never ever ever are going to walk in covenant or be able to walk in covenant if you do not repent And get free from the bondage you're in right now. You're in bondage You're in bondage And you'll never never never ever be able to walk in covenant And you'll never be free from bondage until you deal with sin first And you're going to experience something Because you've chosen to come and hear god's word and receive god's word is performing its work in you You notice the freedom already coming to you As you're sitting there god's already doing it Your life is so totally going to change And you're going to know It wasn't some man that came to town you're going to know that the word of god He sent his word to hear you amen All right now Look in verse four with me Now don't you forget you write yourself a little note right now that you just take the phone off the hook and all the Worries and the pleasure of this life and lay them aside and get with god These hours This week amen And you let him show you just asked him to show you if you really humble before lord I'm gonna tell you he's just going to do it and all of a sudden things will start coming to your mind now Listen, don't just make mental ascent up here when you're dealing. I mean you're standing on one or whatever. What's everybody so excited about? I'll say go and throw a fit. Do you hear me? And you won't be throwing one I'm telling you the truth folks. I mean i'm i'm dead serious about what i'm saying to you repent Deal with the sin in your life Now Here he's talking about the people First one, there's no now no guilt or condemnation for those who are in christ Jesus we know in verse four in order that the requirements of law might be fulfilled in us The requirements of law are fulfilled and the ones who do not walk according to the flesh Now the requirements of law are not fulfilled and ones that walk according to flesh But it's fulfilled and the ones that are walking where? According to the spirit For those who that they're talking about are walking according to the flesh you tell who they are they set their minds where Now look at me Where's your mind Right there. Their minds are on things of the flesh. That's where their mind is The people that walk out the flesh that's where their mind is On things flesh, but those who are walking according to the spirit They've got their mind set on what things of the spirit you ever notice you set a television station on channel 12 It don't jump. It doesn't jump off. Does it? Right you set that radio station on 100 And right there it stays where's your mindset you've got your mind set on heavenly things if it isn't set your mind on heavenly things Because they're going to be you're going to have a whole lot of lever pulling on you All right verse six every time you see mind here now you mark it for the man that's a Set on the flesh is what? Is that plane? It's death But the mind set on the spirit is life and peace Because the mind mark mind again Set on the what? Flesh it's hostile toward god for it does not what? It does not subject itself the word of god it isn't even able to do so flesh likes to be religious You know how flesh cut it. It's rebellious this word. You know how flesh likes to follow his word. I'll take some of that Oh, I like that boy. That's good boy. We we do that god Hoop dee doo bless my flesh You talk about looking over toward the charismatic or pentecostal see they have a problem See because they do have some light Some of them have some light and they look back with spiritual pride. So that's the end of them right there particularly. I look at baptists Let's have to drop that in on you and then it's interesting thing when I Doing these seminars, you know boy just sit back there with those little smiles boys Bringing them badges up there where we are but see There is spiritual guilt folks But i'm telling you what I'm watching people who are in spiritual gifts of demons and tell them climb curtains and they'll do it That doesn't say there's anything wrong with spiritual gifts. I'm just telling the whole bunch There's just one church Some up the road some are down the road And we'll put here to love and help one another. Is that right? And if you have got a little light folks You want to make? If you want to do something god doesn't like you just take your light and shove it down somebody's throat And Some people have found some freedom freedom and some hadn't and you know He gets the seminar and I said i'm gonna have to tell them And I do tell them I tell them we start at this seminar. We'd be there all day Wednesday, Thursday Friday they come from there. Well, I don't care where they come from. Only thing that matters is jesus I don't check out where they come from But there are a lot of people So have freedom And a lot of liberty And They want to come in and just uh stick their light down somebody else's throat see it's all right to have liver We supposed to have liver. But what about a poor little fella back there? See i've had them come up then uh, and and some Old fella maybe come from four states away And just the most puzzled look on his face He said he was talking to the devil I've never heard anything like that in my life Now see what you're going to do take your freedom Take your light and stick it down his throat To god, he's just as important as everybody in there So, let me just tell you in case you get enlightened a little bit It's over for you when you stick your light down somebody's throat because you're being make a steward Of what you're receiving you're right now I'm being made a steward God didn't give me some words for me to go make a name for myself His spirit is not out there working with you So I can be somebody It's a lot more serious than that. It's heaven and hell It's not personalities It's all him Amen I'm going to tell you he's doing a bunch to you right now And to me Verse eight and those who are in the flesh Cannot please god All right. Now, I want you to look with me in verse 13 and 14 and I want you to leave room on your refrigerator for these two I hope you're marking refrigerator in front of some of these because i'm going to tell you boy this will help you start your day verse 13 For if you're living according to the what? You must die if you're living according to flesh But if you're living by the what? That's the spirit of god, you know, it's a capital s If you're living by the spirit, here's what you're doing if you're living by the spirit of god if I could say it You're putting to death the deeds of this carton right here. You'll live. Is that what your bible said? Well, it's real is you ever wonder who the sons of gods are Why are you fixing to say it in the next verse? For all have been led by the spirit of god. These are the sons of god. Is that what your bible says? Did you just read in the verse before the sons of god is putting to death the flesh right here? the carton Did you read that It's I mean it's right there, isn't it? Half god really said yeah, you just read it. How can a person walk in covenant? If he doesn't die to the carton He'll be just like this verse down here in seven. He'll pick and choose and be hostile to the things of god. In other words Let me just share a little story with you I went to uh dothan alabama and they had uh about I was going there to share the few pastors and then the crowd got a little bigger and anyways about 40 something pastors No one ever heard of me What difference that makes just got 800 hours behind the buffer But anyway, I was impressed to do something and let me find it because uh I went up there To the front And I stood there and I had my bible 40 something times. I didn't know them. They didn't know me I said now I wish that you all spoke in tongues For if I pray in a tongue my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful Therefore my brethren desire earnestly to prophesy and do not forbid to speak in tongues And I waited a minute And then I asked them What is that rising up in you? I was just reading the word of god I was reading out of first corinthians 14 Do you always react? to the word of god like that Now see folks If you ever touch idler or go gay He's right in there and he'll rise up and he'll kick you right there You've been kicked any today Lost 10 pastors because I you know what that explains I said folks i've always been in biblious church like you I don't know anything about guilt I don't know anything about tongues. Of course i've been taught all my life to be scared to death of it But it's I read it here right here And I just read it Because I don't know anything about it But it's all right reckon it's all right to read that part of the bible It's I mean it's there it's right there. I'm looking at it folks There's something bad wrong when you have to be active God talks about jocks and tittles I think he wants us to know what all this bible says instead of picking and choosing. Don't you? Huh? I've often wondered what it'd be like if you'd just be behind a curtain or one of these big flags You're in a service and then jump out and say demons demons demons tongues tongues tongues About four people jump through the window And I'm going to share one thing with you before we go in cleveland, tennessee as a free and friendly carpet cleaner and There was a building that uh The story building that I was one of the jobs that I had. I kept it clean And they had several houses There's an organization And every year the officers would change in These houses where they furnished and they'd have the officers and a lot of times they would call me and I'd just go Clean them now when I had a they see this this this what? What I call a big customer And whenever we went to do those jobs, I made sure that they were done, right? and so I went to this big home that the person was moving out of and And I looked and I saw that this carpet was going to need extra work and so I decided to go get carl and take him out of the theater and put him I couldn't be there And so to make sure it's done, right? So I brought carl there and I call carl see it's my business. I owe the carpet cleaner But it's not the call. This is the way I want you to do this and uh, so forth because this Carpet needs extra work now carl. Don't be any rush. Don't be any hurry. I mean see when you clean carpet And you don't get it clean the first time you can't go back over and get it wet or it'll pull away from the wall And that's not good and so I left carl there and I came back later to check on them And what they were doing? They were loading up the equipment. Well, I already knew see I know how long it takes to do a job And I knew it couldn't be cleaned right and done that quickly so what I did I Went on in and I looked for the pivot areas and course I could see immediately That they were not clean And I called carl in there and I said carl I said carl what happened buddy? And carl opened his mouth and it's just Words and words he was justifying and see I'm looking at it and he just kept on and on and on and on I never I thought carl never would take a breath. He just judged upon that. I mean I mean, he just kept on and on and on and finally he took a breath and I said, oh, wait a minute right there Now wait right there. Just one second Now look at me carl Now you look right at me carl carl What's that Front of my feet I remember as he looked down at him and he just He said dirt I said carl i'm glad you call this what I call it or you and I couldn't work together anymore Now what would I have done if uh carl had see i'm in a dirt business What what would i've done if carl had said what Huh? What good would carl be in me in the dirt business if he couldn't see dirt? So I said carl There's two things number one They pay us to get this out second thing Anywhere that you ever go as long as you and I work together See, I was about to help separate my money from carl's but anyway Wherever you ever go As long as you work with me, we always get this out so Well carl was in agreement with me and so we just could go on couldn't we amen And then I went to get in my little truck And just as I sat down in that little truck, you know How god can show you something just like that and it'd take you half an hour to explain him Immediately said And he didn't say brother milt. He said milt That is the way I am about sin He said milt I know what sin is I know what the cause then but when you Justify it And you act like it's not there It's what you really do mils. You just condemn me And you can't go on You're stopped right where you are. I can't take you anywhere You're going a different way, but when you call dirt what I call dirt then I can just Bring it right on and that's one of the most helpful things god ever spoke to me in my life Now when I see something are you ready to call dirt dirt? Are you ready to call dirt what god calls dirt if you are folks i'm gonna tell you something I'm leaving here this week I don't know when if I let wherever see you anywhere again this side of heaven, but i'm gonna tell you something You're having a visitation in god almighty In jesus name repent cheerily This concludes the tapes in this series This is a powerful message one The body of christ needs to hear and understand or information concerning additional tapes just write to be fruitful and multiply post office box 3459 palestine, texas 75802 That's be fruitful and multiply post office box 3459 palestine, texas 75802
