YES, this is a live program. We will be taking your 01:16 questions in the second hour. And I believe there's going to 01:20 be a lot of questions. Snatched me tell you what our topic is. 01:24 We will be discussing that got hit 01:27 and what our focus is going to be. Of course, we'll talk about 01:31 the father and the person of Jesus Christ. But the balance 01:36 of our focus is going to be on the person of the Holy Spirit, 01:42 the DEA, fine individual. He's not a person like you and 01:46 I are. But he is a tough line individual who has wisdom and 01:52 understanding he speaks he it has emotions. We will look at 01:57 that from the Bible. So now when I say we welcome you, 02:01 let me introduce my brother, set the table and we're just so 02:05 very excited. We have faster. John McCain, who is the 3ABN, 02:10 director of worldly been to listen and my pastor. 02:15 >> Could it be his Shelley? I'm excited about this topic 02:18 and I'm just going short introduction.

It's a blessing to be here. And it's always a 02:37 wonderful thing to look into the scriptures. Because when we 02:40 do that, 02:41 the pending got he promises a blessing. 02:44 >> And then and this is a 2 hour Bible study. Now we will 02:49 be taking your questions. You can send your questions. 02:52 Text us at 6, 1, 8, 228-3975, or you can email your question 03:01 to live at 3ABN DOT TV. We're not taking questions the first 03:07 hour. And you know what? I think we'll probably answer a 03:10 lot of your questions in the first hour. But if you want to 03:14 send them and we will be taking those at the beginning of the 03:16 second hour, 03:18 I just have to tell you the reason I became the 7th Day 03:22 Adventists is because I believe 7th Day Adventists teaches more 03:26 the Bible in any other church. I know if I found another 03:30 church put got more, I would join it. 03:34 But what I like is our war. Pioneers 03:39 of the administers came from so many different denominations. 03:44 And as they consolidated their beliefs, the way they did this 03:49 is they win it to the scripture, had been his claim. 03:53 This scripture as our only creed, we have 28 fundamental 03:57 beliefs, Bible, doctrinal beliefs. And here's what I 04:02 like. 04:03 Our 04:04 pioneers accepted new truce like the Sabbath was new to 04:10 many of them diet that I had it righteousness by faith, even as 04:15 they continue to study. But they also rejected fall. 04:21 It's they they released spiritual airline date setting 04:27 for his return or the closed door policy or semi area news. 04:32 And so tonight, I want to begin by reading the second of the 28 04:40 fundamental beliefs for the either the stretch and the 04:44 second one is titled 04:47 Rinat. He now some people have. 04:49 Have you ever heard of anybody having trouble with that word? 04:52 >> Yeah, because it has so many definitions and I think that I 04:56 would prefer the word caught head. Yes, because the word 04:59 Trinity comes to like put the butter rapture. You know me so 05:02 many things to whomever hears it from the perspective of 05:05 their denominational understanding. You know, 05:07 what I hear mostly is will trim it tastes not in the Bible, 05:11 right? 05:12 >> And that's true. Incarnation is not in the Bible ether, 05:16 but that is the title trend that hate. And here's what it 05:21 says. There is one God, 05:23 father, son and Holy Spirit, a unit he up 3 Coe eternal 05:29 persons asked. Most people will say if you've got one here, 05:34 one here and one there. How many does said Equal 05:38 police say 3, they say 3, 05:40 but their use of the wrong math formula. It's not one plus one. 05:44 Plus one which equals 3. It's one times one times, 05:49 one 05:50 which equals one. So it's all we've got to start thinking 05:54 differently. But it goes on said Gods and mortals all 05:58 powerful, all knowing above all, an ever present, infinite 06:02 and beyond human comprehension. How important that is to 06:07 emphasize yet known through his self revelation, God who is 06:12 love to spread their worthy of worship, adoration and service 06:17 by the whole creation. So let's kick this off. Why do we 06:22 believe there are 3 persons divine individuals to find 06:30 personalities who are one guy? 06:33 There's 58 scripture passages that talk about the father, 06:38 son and spirit. 06:40 But that's 06:42 jump off. Let's go back to the beginning. It got it for give 06:46 us any idea that he was more than a single individual. 06:52 Yeah. 06:53 >> And the very but can the very beginning of the Bible in 06:54 the book of Genesis. 06:56 Let us make man in our image. And so we'll we'll look at that 07:01 as we go through the program tonight. Go ahead. Start we 07:04 started this project is that that is a great and you'll get 07:07 a view about to say something, but we need to have prayer for 07:10 us. Thank you. We prayed right before we started. I forgot we 07:14 need to train here to play. Starting the school to the Lord 07:18 in Prayer. 07:19 I loving Heavenly father. 07:21 >> We thank you. We thank you for the holy Scriptures that 07:25 you have given to us that you have preserved protected. 07:29 And today we have access. Not only that, we have access 07:32 to the scriptures in many different ways, but more tools 07:36 are available to this generation than ever before. 07:40 So we thank you for that. Help us to take advantage of 07:44 all these tools. And of course, we cannot understand that 07:48 without your holy spirit. Therefore, we ask for the Holy 07:51 spirit for us tonight. And for all those that would join us in 07:55 whatever means they are able to. 07:58 So we pray that you will help us teach us and give us 08:01 understanding from heaven, a man asking for a blessing upon 08:05 all and we ask in the Holy and blessed the name of Jesus, 08:08 the man. 08:10 >> Thank you. Thank you very much, John Genesis. One. 08:12 26 27. Yes, 08:16 but I want to actually go back to the very beginning. Genesis 08:19 One 0st 1, 2, 08:22 in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth 08:27 and the earth was without form and void. And darkness was on 08:31 the face of the date and the spirit of God was hovering over 08:35 the face of the voters. And so you find there 08:40 you find the very beginning, God, the creation of the world. 08:42 And we know that the creation of the world was a united 08:46 effort. Yes, you know, John, 1, 1, you know, there are 3 places 08:50 in the scripture 08:51 where I call it the beginning. Genesis is the beginning of all 08:55 were the solar system all were universe. But then you have 08:59 John, 1, 1, that goes further back than that. And then he was 09:03 one that goes for the back. Then that with the Bible talks 09:06 about 09:07 Jesus, through whom he created the world's Great Creek court, 09:11 that the E On's the a number of girls. And then John, 1, 09:15 1, in the beginning was the word. And the word was with 09:17 God. And the word was God. The same was in the beginning 09:19 with God, all things by him and without a nothing was made that 09:23 was made. So you have the father, the son there and you 09:26 have the holy spirit in the very, very beginning. Amen. 09:29 Amen. It's it's it's very interesting because a lot of 09:33 people think that the idea of the godhead or Trinity, I 09:37 prefer the got hit as some thought and it's New Testament, 09:42 an idea. But it's from the Old Testament that we get the 09:45 foundation, the Essence 4, 09:48 the Trinity or the got hit. It's there. It's and it's 09:52 beautiful to see because God is love. And yes in the father and 09:58 the son and the holy spirit, the very first verse in the 10:01 beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 10:05 >> Death same burst. The word God is the word below him. 10:09 You know him what you say, plural, form of the word. 10:13 God. Right now you would think 10:16 that this would be enough for people because it's a poor 10:21 form, but there's a singular form when it's also used in the 10:25 Old Testament when they're talking about God as well. 10:28 From time to time, it is used about 250 types. The singular 10:33 form is used for got, but over 2,500 times, the plural form 10:38 for 10:40 God is use the low him chat. And so here in the very 10:43 beginning, you see even God and that is he's in the earth was 10:48 without form and void. And darkness was on the fun face of 10:52 the deep end. The spirit of God hovering over the face of the 10:56 waters we already have here. Members of the got had already 11:00 mentioned here and you mentioned let us make man 11:04 plurality. Try is found there. 11:06 >> And you know what? I love the fact. Genesis one. 26 27 11:09 with God says let us make man in our image. 11:14 God is speaking of himself with plural pronouns. 11:19 It expresses the communication between define persons that 11:25 define 11:27 individuals who make up the hole, but he got hit. So as I 11:33 said, 11:35 when you think about God, 11:38 do not think it to me, it's wrong to say God, the father, 11:42 God, the son got the Holy Spirit. All 3 are thought 11:46 they'd make one got. But it is God. The father, son and Holy 11:51 Spirit. One times one times one equals one. Now let's look at 11:56 the scriptures is only 2 scriptures that mention the 11:59 godhead. 12:01 >> Well, I would point I would like to add something budget 12:03 assist one beginning. 26 to 28 because there's singular and 12:09 plural here and got us expressing himself in and 12:12 passed a law making alluded to this. He says, then God said, 12:14 let us 12:16 Laurel make man in our floor. According to our floor 12:20 likeness, let them have dominion over the fish of the 12:22 sea over the birds of the air, over the cattle over all the 12:25 earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the 12:27 earth. So God created man in his singular because God is 12:33 one. But right here that's seen it and you can continue and see 12:36 that and then notice he say in his own image in the image of 12:40 God created he singular created him, male and female created. 12:45 He singer created them. So you see, I've got to say I am one 12:50 the men, but I'm also floral in the 3 persons, right? 12:54 >> So let's look at Romans one 20, OK, want to look at Romans 12:58 one 20 and then Johnny, if you look at Colossians 2, 9, 13:01 question 2 times in the Bible that the word God hit is used 13:07 and 13:08 it is something vet. We know that there's only one truth 13:12 that we on fears state Christians on of the stick. 13:16 We believe in one God, a single be fine unity of beings, 13:22 if you will. But they cooperate in everything, 13:27 all 3 persons for not only involved in the creation. 13:30 They're all 3 involved in South station. But John remnants, 13:34 one 20, 13:36 OK, here it is. 13:38 >> For since the creation of the world, his invisible 13:42 attributes are clearly seen 13:45 being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal 13:49 power and God head so that they are without excuse. That's 13:55 that's why he's been caught had. So you clearly see that 13:57 and then it goes. You want to converse 21 going okay? Because 14:02 although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God. 14:05 No, we're thankful but became futile hope and their thoughts 14:09 are machinations and their food. The charts were docking 14:12 talk. And 14:14 >> and what I like it that helped me a lot is when we 14:18 realize when there was no written word until Moses began 14:23 recording, the word got it was all handed down verbally. 14:29 He too noticed that in the beginning of the Bible doesn't 14:32 try to explain his existence. He doesn't explain where you 14:37 came from. You and I will never understand. I mean, it's going 14:41 to be something we get 14:43 2 when Christ returns and worrying eternity. We're going 14:47 to be looking at him and trying to learn about him throughout 14:52 all of eternity. But the got hit Colossians 2, 9, We kind of 14:56 want to move along so that we can get to the Holy Spirit can 15:00 to Colossians 2, 9, colossians 2, 9, 15:03 >> Pouring him dwells. All the fullness of the gun had bodily. 15:09 >> And this is speaking up. She says, yeah. So 15:13 in him do wells. All of the got the attributes of God. So 15:21 >> there's one more hit. There's one more in X 17. 15:24 29. Yes. This at one for as much then as we are the 15:28 offspring of God, we ought not to think about that. The 15:31 godhead is like unto gold or silver or stone grave and Mike 15:36 Martin and man's device. 15:38 >> How did I miss that one man. So what we're saying is we 15:42 never are truly going to be able to comprehend that got 15:46 hit. But we're going to look in the Bible and see that it is 15:51 really clear. Jesus said in John 4.24, God is spirit and we 15:57 miss worship him in spirit and in truth. But to understand 16:02 this, immortal God, the poll say that only God has a 16:06 mortality to understand him as living into t 16:14 we have the Bible is really clear. There are 3 person. 16:18 So let's look at she says Christ who wants to read 16:23 Philippians 2, 5, through 8 because I believe we all pretty 16:27 much except God has the plan that when you do that from now 16:31 we have both John. So it didn't even want to there one K K just 16:37 for the prince to 5 to 8. 16:39 >> Let this mind being you, which was also in Christ, 16:43 Jesus, who being in the form of God did not consider it robbery 16:48 to be equal with God but made himself of no reputation taking 16:52 the form of a bond that a bond-servant and coming in the 16:56 likeness, a man and being found in appearance as a man. He 17:00 humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, 17:03 even the death of the cross. Therefore, God also has highly 17:09 exalted him and given him giving him the name, which is 17:14 above everything. 17:16 >> So let's speak to that. 17:19 He was in the form of God. He was as if his pre incarnate 17:24 State, but he was equal to God that he humiliated himself. 17:28 Expound on that a little. And and I want to add 17:30 Colossians one also to that because the Bible, what what 17:33 what was saying tonight is it is an undeniable fact 17:37 Scripture, Ali. 17:38 >> That the father, the son and holy Spirit are not was R it is 17:44 to use that word is not was but is ever-present because you 17:49 never speak of divinity has 17:52 it was because Jesus says I am. He didn't say I was so 17:57 Colossians one 15, the issue that they the New Testament 18:01 church was grappling with. This was an issue that they 18:04 will also grappling with. 18:06 And we have to keep in mind that the doctrine of Jesus was 18:09 being introduced to them by the apostles. And they did not. 18:14 You remember now the the the Jewish leaders rejected his 18:18 divinity. 18:19 So what's happening today? In some circles, the rejection 18:23 of the divinity of Christ is not a new thing. They said, 18:26 how could you possibly be Divine R Us? You're not even as 18:30 old as Abraham, our father. 18:32 And then you find a I want to bring this kid's out real 18:34 quick. If I read this and I talk about this. So this, 18:37 okay, does that come to which we're going to see one become 18:40 to the holy spirit? So this this this grappling with is he 18:44 really divine. And if he in fact, is divine, then the 18:47 message of salvation is now valid and then saw the message 18:51 of salvation cannot be valid unless the savior is God a man 18:55 has created being cannot save a created being. That's something 18:59 that the very could keep clearly in mind. And so look at 19:02 this cautions one, 15 Paulus speaking to the church, make it 19:06 abundantly clear that these ease not created. He is very 19:10 divine. Here it is. So they didn't see God. Biden says John 19:15 for verse. 22 24 got a spirit. And those who worship him must 19:19 worship in spirit and in truth. Okay. But now how do we know 19:22 God he said to Thomas, have I been with you so long that you 19:24 have not seen the father? I am. The father are one. 19:28 The Jews had a problem with that. But look at this cautions 19:30 one 15, who is Jesus. He is the image of the invisible God, 19:35 the first blow in overall creation of the pause right 19:38 there. People be the first born overall creation and they think 19:42 they think the first created overall creation didn't see the 19:45 first created first born overall creation. Now you ask 19:48 yourself the question now, how is that possible? The first one 19:52 overall creation. This is a term of preeminence. Not a time 19:56 of I just came in to have a NIT title. Yes, it is be gotten 20:02 means that chosen 20:03 first boring means preeminent. That right, son of God is a 20:08 covenant titles. So when you to the book about that, it's 20:11 really clear this is not talk about the first created over 20:14 all the nation because people hear that and say see, he was 20:17 created. No says the first born. The preeminent one does 20:19 not none higher than him and he was in the condescended way 20:23 born into the world to marry. But let me go on verse 16. 20:27 We have to accept the scriptures is valid because 20:29 when we accepted as valid, the argument dies for by him. 20:34 What's the next 2 words? All things all things were 20:37 created. Look at that. Look at the the vastness of his 20:41 creative, the creative ability, all things were created that 20:44 are and where in heaven. So that all on earth visible 20:49 and invisible, meaning we don't see it here we with but created 20:54 also 20:55 weather. Look at that fat owns or dominions principalities or 20:58 powers. All things were created through him and for him for 17 21:04 and he is before all things and in him all things consist. 21:10 So when we think about that, we said really and then goes on 21:14 and he is 21:16 verse 18 and he is the head of the body, the church who is the 21:21 beginning, the first blow in from the dead that in all 21:24 things he may have pre and minutes a man. So clearly it's 21:29 so sad 21:31 without argument. Who is he? He's it begins and ends with 21:34 him. 21:35 >> Let me let me make a plug right now. I've written a book 21:38 called Spotless, experiencing The Everlasting Covenant 21:41 through Righteousness Spectate. 21:44 We have a series called Spotless The Everlasting 21:48 Covenant 21:49 and then Make the Point. 21:51 And that first born is a covenant term. We need to 21:56 understand covenant language that right. 21:59 And yes, it is Chapter 4. Okay. Let's go there. 22:04 Excuse me, verse. 22 22:07 got us asking Moses to go before the Pharaoh and here's 22:12 what he says God's telling most is this is what you will say. 22:16 You she-said of pharaoh. The U.S. says the Lord Israel 22:23 is my son. My first born 22:28 Israel wasn't first nation but they had covenant son ship. 22:33 He's talking about that being his covenant son and they had 22:38 pre and minutes in that Cabinet son ship. He said. So I say to 22:44 you let my son go that he may serve me. So we're not going 22:50 to. As I said tonight, we're going to assume that you 22:55 understand, like I say it 9 for 6, 7, cases that until last the 23:01 sun is getting tighter on to us. I'll just point the 23:05 government shall be on his shoulders. He shall be called 23:08 wonderful counsellor, mighty God. The everlasting father. 23:14 Okay. Second and Prince of peace. So where we believe it 23:21 that as you said, Colossians one 17 and him 23:26 all things consist. 23:29 She said before Abraham was site and he said I'm a alpha 23:33 and the omega and he said and Sean 20 and verse 30, 23:39 I am Ken John, 10 verse 30. I'm a father are one. Now. 23:45 What happened when he said that? What was the response of 23:48 the Jews? 23:50 I was ready to create this told him why? Because he said he 23:55 claims to be God. So 23:59 Titus to 13 Somebodys. Got to turn there. 24:04 >> We hear it. Is it okay. Haha to 13 looking for the 24:08 blessing. Hope and glorious appearing of our great God and 24:12 savior Jesus Christ. 24:14 >> All right. They're cleared right there. It is clear is it 24:17 can be is it not? That's what she says is our great God and 24:23 savior. Johnny. I I think we need to go back to the around 24:27 me for a moment. Yeah. 24:30 >> This is this is say 24:32 a verse that really that the jewels themselves. Why stress 24:38 on it? And it's and Deuteronomy tempted 6 in verse 4. Yes, 24:43 right here. All Israel, the Lord, our God is one lord. 24:51 This is the verse that really they even right in there for at 24:55 least one of one of 4 versus yet that they read in the 24:58 factories is this is one of them. But it noticed here if 25:03 you have your Bible death capital L capital capital, 25:06 our Capital, D that talking about your whole lot, y'all 25:10 way. Our got below him. Who is one 25:15 lord and the use of the word for one is not one. A singular 25:20 track is one of unity. Is the Hebrew word you caught or if 25:25 not the way they say pound unit, it's a compound unity. 25:29 That can mean that should that always means more than one. 25:33 That, right. 25:34 >> You know what I think about it and think about this for a 25:37 minute. If 25:39 God, 25:40 what only 25:42 a single person, how could it be that 25:46 you can't be loved? Good point without having someone come in 25:51 a ship. That's right. So if it were just God in Jesus, 25:56 that wouldn't be unselfish a lot because any time there's 26:00 just 2 people, one can be doing something to gain the favor of 26:04 the other. But when you put it, the holy spirit into that got 26:09 hit, as the Bible says, we're going to prove that to you when 26:14 the holy spirit is Smith got hit. Suddenly you understand 26:18 unselfish up. She says 26:22 it's a second person of God, not second in importance or 26:27 authority, but he was second in the revelation when he humbled 26:32 himself. Florida court stepped out of heaven and he came down 26:36 and he took on our flesh that he might become the last. 26:40 Adam. That's what Paul said in First Corinthians 15, 45 the 26:45 new representative of men behind so that he could be our 26:51 substitute in death. 26:54 The interesting thing is is that here he came down and then 27:00 he says sins the Holy Spirit but proves to us the unselfish 27:07 love of God because the Bible says in Revelation, 13 8 27:13 Christ was that Lamb who was slain from the foundation of 27:18 the world. 27:20 The plan for salvation has always spin in place. And we're 27:25 going to look now at what this had this one God. Let's talk 27:34 about the Holy Spirit book. 27:35 >> What would just before we go to? I just want to cap this off 27:38 because I want to make it not that we haven't already, 27:42 but it's good to look at the Bible in its I use this phrase 27:46 list, the ping pong, all the New Testament. They both look 27:48 to in court, same court. And so we're going to look at 27:53 how the Old Testament affirms the New Testament and the New 27:56 Testament verifies the Old Testament. So we find some 45 27:59 for 6. This word 28:02 you're throwing all God is for ever and ever. A scepter of 28:06 righteousness is the sceptre of the kingdom has some 45 for 6 28:11 neighbors. So now when he was 1, 8, 28:15 the father's speaking, but to the son, he says he'll throw 28:20 in, oh, God is for ever and ever. A SEPTA of righteousness 28:24 is deceptive of your kingdom. So when David, the SAMA says 28:27 right in this, 45, he's talking about the sun. Yes, because 28:31 it's it's affirmed in. He was one for 8, the father's talking 28:34 about the sun. 28:35 >> And so on, he actually says in Hebrew, Joie. One I've and 28:39 my son today at the got you and then God, the father speaking 28:44 of this and says in verse 10 of Hebrews, One, 28:49 you Lord, he's speaking the father speaking to try to the 28:52 person of Jesus Christ. He says you Lord in the beginning laid 28:57 the foundation of the Earth and the heavens are the works of 29:01 your hands. 29:03 >> That's what the Sunday some at. Yeah. Amen. UK. It is 29:08 fantastic that a few more of a guy. You have a few more yet. 29:11 Why will for time's sake? We do need to move on to the 29:15 Holy Spirit. The guys? Yes, yes, 29:19 this isn't Daniel chapter 7, 0, yes. You know, you mentioned we 29:23 mentioned night thrown, oh, God. And then a chapter 7 29:27 versus 9. 29:28 This is fantastic. Less than a 7 verse 19 in there. I watched 29:33 Hill Rome's were put in place. That's right. Who sitting on 29:38 the stone. Yeah. Haha. 29:40 And the changing of days was seated. So this is it. These 29:44 Thrones are for the deity. His government was white as 29:49 snow and the hairs of his head was like pure wool, his throne. 29:54 Now this one. What's that? Fiery flame? Its wheels, 29:57 a burning fire, a fiery stream issued in came forth from 30:01 before him. I 1000 thousands ministered to him 10,000 times, 30:06 10,000 stood before him. The court was seated and the 30:10 books were opened. Now it's very interesting in verse 13. 30:15 I was watching in the night visions and behold, one like 30:18 the son of Man, Jesus Christ 30:22 coming with the clouds of heaven. All this is fantastic. 30:27 Coming with the clouds of heaven. He came to the ancient 30:30 of days and they brought him near before him. Then to him 30:35 was given notice Dominion 30:38 and glory and the kingdom 30:42 that all peoples nations and languages should serving. 30:45 His dominion is an Everlasting Dominion, which shall never 30:48 passed away in his kingdom, the one which shall not 30:53 be destroyed. But so this is this is the father and the son 30:59 in this scripture. But notice the reaction of the scribes, 31:04 the priest actually the high priest in Matthew Chapter. 31:08 26, hey, because she says quotes from this verse, Daniel 31:13 and Daniel chapter on 7 31:17 and then you see what versus a 60 something I think. 31:21 Well, here at this, here it is. 31:24 Matthew chapter 26 years and beginning in verse 60. 31:29 Let's begin in the 61 and said this fellow said I am able to 31:33 destroy the temple of God and to build it in 3 days. And 26 31:37 26 60 62 now takes you to know okay there and the high priest 31:43 a rolls and said to him, do you answer nothing? 31:47 What is it? These men testify against you? But Jesus keep 31:51 silent. And the high priest answered and said to him, 31:55 I put you under oath by the living got tell us if you are 31:59 the Christ, the son of God now, Gee says, says something that's 32:04 that's all you want to Reno. Let me tell you, he says had to 32:07 him. It is, as you said, nevertheless, I say to you 32:12 notice here after you will see the sun, a man sitting at the 32:16 right hand of the power and coming 32:19 on the clouds of heaven and 7.13, Daniel 7.13. And this is 32:25 why the high priest reacted the way he did. He just said he is 32:29 God. That's why he said then we're 65. Then the high priest 32:33 tore his clothes saying 32:35 he has spoken blasphemy. What further need to we have a 32:38 witness's look. Now you have heard his blasphemy. So he 32:43 understood what he says was saying I am God because he was 32:48 linking this to Dan Chapter 7 and the high priest knew this. 32:50 And you know what if Jay says favorite? 32:53 >> Covenant title for himself was not son of God, but cent of 32:57 May. So I mean, he claimed to be the son of God, but son of 33:01 man is what 33:03 you know. I'm just going to say this. And once again where we 33:07 are, we could all preach for hours and hours and hours on 33:10 any part of tonight's topic. And we want to move into the 33:15 Holy Spirit. But here's the point. 33:18 If you understand 33:21 you are created, God 33:24 humbled himself, humiliated himself, impeached himself with 33:29 his divine 33:31 it all of his divine privileges came down and took on our 33:36 flesh, 33:40 pay our death penalty for sand. With you ever understand who 33:46 the person of Jesus Christ is that he is God 33:51 and sanity. God in the flesh 33:55 to think the hate guide for us is so mind blowing. I thank you 34:00 every day for that. 34:02 >> That's right. And last text before we go to the Holy Spirit 34:05 because we have to get to that time very quickly. And so we 34:08 were so far we have, I believe, without dispute established in 34:12 to the liberty of Jesus. And the reason why I say that 34:15 is because there is some question as to whether or not 34:17 Jesus is divert derived it whether or not he was created 34:21 way. But as somebody once said, way, way, way, way back. 34:25 This kind of sounds like evolution. It's ridiculous. 34:27 My could 5 to speaking about their Jesus. Yeah. Look at 34:31 this, Michael 5, too, because we had Isaiah 9, 6, yes, 34:35 everlasting father, the Prince of peace. Now we have. But you 34:38 Bethlehem Ephrata, though you are little among the thousands 34:42 of Judah yet out of you shall come forth to me. Watch is the 34:47 one 34:49 to be ruler and Israel Cousy whos going forth off from of 34:55 old from everlasting a man along as everlasting and 35:00 everlasting 35:01 and no beginning, no end. I mean, life original on 35:04 borrowed under. I have a lasting. And so if nothing was 35:07 created 35:09 without him, 35:11 that includes him. That's right. OK, if everything that 35:14 exists was created by him and nothing clashes wondrous 15, 35:17 18 was created without him. That includes him. Yes, okay. 35:22 >> OK, we're going to move on to the Holy Spirit that I do 35:25 want to remind you, this is a live program and we're doing 35:31 our second hour will be taking your questions. We are focusing 35:36 primarily on the Holy Spirit tonight and we're getting ready 35:40 to start that. But if you want to send us a question, you 35:44 Mason that by text to 6, 1, 8, 2, 2, 8, 3, 9, 7, 5, at 35:51 618-228-3975, or you May e-mail us live at 3, A B and that TV 36:03 again live at 3ABN, DOT TV. I want to kick off the 36:12 steady on the Holy Spirit with 36:15 the scripture. 36:18 Let's explain Andrew Luck. OK? Hoppin, okay. 36:24 >> I have a cadence that I want to talk about all give it to. 36:27 You want to put this case together as to why the Holy 36:30 Spirit, if that the topic has become such a K a controversial 36:34 issue. But I'll go ahead and get that to you and Johnny. 36:38 Well, you can begin right there in Genesis, Chapter One 36:41 and Genesis Chapter one when it talks about this period. 36:44 The word in Hebrew is rule hock, 36:47 which can also mean breath. We cannot also mean spirit. 36:50 So in Hebrew, that's what you have for when you see the word 36:54 spirit. 36:55 >> And in the Greek its numa numa, which is that, you know, 37:00 you think about that, that Matic drills, that something is 37:03 new. But here's what some people say. 37:07 Some people think that because Jesus said in John 3, 8, 37:11 the wind blows where wishes you hear it. You can't tell where 37:14 it comes from. Nowhere goes. They think that the holy spirit 37:19 is only and in the Navy, in effect, shoe of thought that if 37:24 you supporting forth from him. But I want to tell you, 37:28 this is what Jesus is saying here. He's describing the mode 37:35 of operation just when he says the Holy Spirit is like the 37:39 when Jesus said I'm a gate on the door, I'm divine. We don't 37:45 take that little relate yet. Some people will point to this 37:49 scripture and say, see, he's just and in the Navy spirit and 37:54 then some people consider the holy spirit and in their chief 37:59 from God because 38:01 he was poured out. He was shed abroad. But the same language 38:08 is used of the messiah in Isaiah 53 12 that he what he 38:15 poured out his soul and to death. So this is a metaphor 38:22 and in don't be confused by metaphors in the Bible. What I 38:28 want to give you is John 14 verse 16 scold him. I love this 38:36 scripture because some people say, oh, the Holy Spirit, 38:41 he's Jesus Christ because he speaks about the spirit of 38:45 Christ. It also speaks about the spirit of the father. 38:50 She says 38:52 X for a slate disclaims. That white here in John 14, 38:57 6 Jesus says John 14, 16 excuse me can 14 39:04 16 cases. I will pray the fog there 39:09 and he will give you a nother help her 39:15 that he may abide with you forever. I just got to take 39:18 that part for just a second. The word help or there its 39:22 parent. Could they tell us what does that mean in King James's 39:25 comforter, that comforter, The Advocate that help her? 39:29 This is the a word that can only be used if the person 39:34 that's right. And how are you cannot use it for power. 39:38 But here's the other part of that. 39:41 And and I don't want to say we don't want to try to 39:45 drown you in lessons and great, but this is so important in the 39:50 great there. 2 words for another 39:54 Hatteras means another of a different kind. So, for 39:58 example, Johnny, you're eating an apple. I've got a basket 40:02 with bananas, grapefruit, whatever it can. I say, do you 40:05 want another piece of fruit that's had a rose and another 40:09 of a different kind? A try? That's not what Jesus is here. 40:14 He uses the word, Alex. Alex means another of the exact same 40:23 same quality. So he is saying I am sending you Alex Perry, 40:31 Clay Toast. Another 40:34 one who 6 sad Li like me. And this is so, you know, 40:42 she says was the pair quite sun Earth. That was something they 40:45 used to the messiah right now. First, John, 2, 1, says he's 40:48 our Advocate in heaven that the Holy Spirit was sent to Earth 40:55 to continue the ministry of 40:59 the Ministry of Salvation and read him should right here. 41:04 So 41:05 let's talk about 41:07 the Holy Spirit. 41:10 Are you ready, OK at this cadence, real quickly? Sure, 41:14 I know. 41:17 >> Let's look at why this issue so significant today. Absent 41:20 now, we all believe and I think is an undisputed fact 41:23 indisputable fact that we're living closer and closer to the 41:26 end of time. So, you know, the signs are clear not going to 41:29 take time prophecy. That to me is and it is indisputable fact, 41:33 all the Bible pointed out we're living in the time of the in 41:35 the last church last 4th beast to Daniel 7. The list goes on 41:39 and on. 41:40 When you look at the cadence of history, 41:42 you'll see that the Holy Spirit 41:46 as we get closer to the time of destruction, 41:50 has always become 41:52 a disputed fact. UD rejected idea, rejected person. Let me 41:58 give you a list. I'm just going to get a few of them. We go to 42:01 the end of the antediluvian world. The reason why they will 42:05 last his because they refuse the they refused the striving 42:10 of the spirit who was as in the days of Jesus, he will convict 42:14 the well. The sending of judgment of righteousness and 42:17 justice expressed re. My spirit will not always strive with 42:20 man. That's right. So the spirit of God was striving in 42:23 Noah's Day to try to bring people to the understanding 42:26 that this salvation does destruction coming and then you 42:29 find 42:31 let's go after the flood, the call of Abraham, the children 42:34 of Israel. And on fast forward here. Why was this such 42:37 difficulty 42:39 in the journey of the Israelites? Why did God have 42:41 such difficulty with them? It is pointed out in Isaiah 63 42:44 in verse 10, but they rebelled and grieved his holy Spirit. 42:50 You notice what happened? They grieved his holy spirit. 42:53 So you ask yourself vaguely this holy spirit. The 42:56 antediluvian is great. The Holy Spirit. And and David, the 42:59 Somme us once again recounting that in some one of 6 post. 43:02 33 talks about why the ishmaelite the has so 43:06 disappointed. God once again, this is because they would belt 43:08 against his spirit 43:11 showing again, this is a Kate is going on now. You find David 43:15 in his dilemma. 43:17 He falls to hold that she bit into it. You want and then what 43:21 is David played? He didn't say take Mike. Don't take my 43:24 kingship from me. Don't take my authority from the don't take 43:27 my room to ship from me. He says in Psalm 51 for 7 43:31 and do not take your holy spirit from the man. But so is 43:35 the holy spirit was active in the day of the day that the 43:39 king was right. Then you go down to the New Testament. 43:42 Now, then Jesus breeds on the disciples and said it received 43:46 the Holy spirit to activate the work that they did in his time. 43:49 But then the day of Pentecost came in to set to take it to 43:51 the next level acts 1, 8, But you showers, Steve Powell and 43:55 the Holy Spirit is come up new. This activates them to be able 43:58 to carry the gospel to a broader scale. Now it's going 44:00 out it's resonating. 44:02 But what happened to try to hinder the proliferation of the 44:07 gospel? 44:08 What happened when Stephen was stone? Steven says something 44:11 that is so significant. He now takes us back. He says the next 44:14 7 0st, 51 44:16 you stiff neck and uncircumcised and heart and 44:20 ears. Listen to what he says. You always resist the holy 44:25 spirit as your fathers did. So this is not even know. 44:30 That's not the end of the end of the Libyans days and the 44:32 time when the Israelites were built in the wilderness, 44:35 he's going back to beyond this moment when they're about to 44:37 start insight. You rejected the Lord because the spirit 44:41 couldn't get to you. Now you just like your fathers. You 44:44 are. And today, this battle over the holy Spirit is not a 44:47 new thing. Now, look at this. So now data now that the Paul, 44:52 the apostle is now speaking to the church and Testament church 44:55 and he warns them not to repeat what has been from Jenna says 45:00 to the rate rising up the children of Israel to the 45:02 Jewish leaders to the to the New Testament message going 45:06 forth. He said Ephesians 4.30, and do not grieve the Holy 45:10 spirit, a man whom you are sealed for the day of 45:14 redemption. So then you say, well, why is that? So, I mean, 45:18 was that such a big deal if he's not significant, but it 45:22 doesn't really matter his function, all the all the place 45:25 he takes. But I wouldn't let me ask you this. We're going to 45:27 get to this in a moment and we have a good. But 45:31 Ken 45:34 >> and energy peak, grief techno. I'm going there that 45:38 and we're going to get into the emotions of the Hokie spirit in 45:41 just a moment. So that is important to understand. 45:44 He can be resisted. He can be green. So when you started when 45:48 you start the value, when they hadn't minimizing the work and 45:54 the necessity of the Holy Spirit, 45:57 Jesus himself warned in Matthew 12. 32, he says any without 46:04 showing now the God, it is all brought to the picture here. 46:07 Anyone who speaks a word against the son of man, it will 46:12 be forgiven him. But whoever speaks 46:16 against the Holy Spirit, 46:19 it will not be forgiven him even in this age or in the age 46:25 to come. And then Mark reiterates that Mach 3 verse. 46:30 28 29 a short. I see the words of Jesus. Again, all sins will 46:34 be forgiven. 46:37 All sins will be forgiven. The son of men 46:40 and whatever blasphemy, they may honor, but 46:44 he'll blast teams against the Holy Spirit. 46:47 Never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal 46:51 condemnation. So I thought back to here 46:54 had to live in days, 46:57 the days of Israel of old 47:00 before the stoning of Stephen in the days of the Ministry of 47:03 Jesus. He's warning of it. Then Paul, the apostle to the 47:06 news of the New Testament Church. Be careful. And then 47:08 the very last not our day revelation, 47:12 14 times this phrase it started. He who has an ear to 47:17 hear. Let them hear what the spirit says the church is. 47:20 Where do we come down to the very end? And so how can you 47:24 hear what the spirit of saying? Because the final call is 47:27 the spirit and the bride says, come on that final invitation 47:31 to salvation. So now we're down to the point was saying, 47:34 I don't believe he's a part of the guy had. I don't believe 47:36 he's nothing but a force. He's on about an energy. 47:39 He's nothing but a wind. He's not really anything. 47:42 And it's crazy. Shelley movements starting 47:46 that movement that reject the validity of the spirit of God. 47:49 But it's nothing but a duplicate of what happened just 47:52 before Steven with Stone and the children of Israel and the 47:55 leaders rejected Jesus. And now I want to give Johnny a moment 47:57 to these. Yes, about to burst, but just have to say this. 48:02 During the second hour, we will look at the attributes. Yes, 48:08 personal attributes that the Holy Spirit. 48:10 >> He's an Daoud with wisdom understanding and will he sit 48:15 down with emotions, speech and mine? It formulates thought 48:20 team he enter seeds as Christ interstates. He teaches bears 48:25 witness. He's holy internal of mission president and the tent. 48:31 Super going to look at the head in the second hour. We do. 48:35 This is a live broadcast. You may send us your questions 48:41 by text. 6, 1, 8, 2, 2, 8, 2, 3, 9, 7, 5, 6, 1, 8, 2, 2, 48:48 8, 3, 9, 7, 5, 4, You can e-mail us live at 3ABN got TV 48:57 and we will get to your questions. I will school kick 49:01 off this second. How that Johnny you're about to burst. 49:05 Haha. 49:06 >> Isaiah 63 yes, gives us a picture and it takes it would 49:11 take a longer explanation. We don't have time to do that. 49:14 But you see the father, the son and the holy spirit here, 49:17 because when you look at the word, angel may even in the Old 49:20 Testament, in means a messenger message. Yes, notice here. 49:24 Isaiah 63 beginning in verse 9 in all their affliction. 49:29 He was afflicted talking about God and the angel of his 49:32 Preston's saved them. That's talking about over. As I said, 49:36 yes, 63 9, OK, got it. 49:38 >> In his love and in his speedy, he'd be deemed them and 49:42 he for them and carry them love all the days of old. But they 49:47 rebuild and grieves his holy spirit. So he turned himself 49:53 against them as an enemy and fought against them. 49:57 This is connected to Psalm 78. That's rest 40 41 50:02 how often they provoke him in the wilderness and grieved him 50:07 in the desert. Yes. Now notice how it calls here. The spirit 50:13 God. Yes, again and again. They tempted God and limited 50:19 the holy one of Israel. 50:21 So we see here and that the holy spirit can be grieved. 50:27 It is not an emanating force. It is not a wind and there are 50:30 different denominations and groups out there that are 50:33 seeing these things and is contrary to the holy 50:36 Scriptures. You know, she said in John 14. 50:40 >> 17 18. He identified this outpost Paraclete sis other 50:46 know their comforter, another advocate as the spirit of truth 50:52 the world cannot receive because neither sees him knows 50:56 him. But you know one for he to wells with you and we'll be in 51:02 you. I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you. 51:06 What does he mean when it? First of all, 51:11 you have to be open to receiving the Holy Spirit. 51:14 One thing that JD does always somebody will call into 51:18 pastoral department and they're saying, well, I don't know if I 51:22 believe in God and you know what he'll say to him. I'll 51:25 tell you what, 51:26 tonight are some nights when you just wake up in the middle 51:29 of the night, you just pray and ask God if you believe there. 51:34 I'm asking you to send your holy spirit to me. 51:38 It's amazing how many people when they open their heart to 51:41 receiving him will 51:45 when Jesus said he will come. Paul said any fee shuns 3.16, 51:49 through 19 pulse, praying that God would grant them to be 51:54 strengthened with might through the Holy Spirit in the air man. 52:02 He was the purpose statement. 52:04 He says if you open your heart to receive the Holy Spirit 52:08 going to be filled with power. Second, Peter, 1, 3, 4, He's 52:13 given us everything we need Ford and life and and 52:19 godliness. But here's the purpose statement that 52:25 when you receive the Holy Spirit, this is Ephesians 3.17 52:29 Christ made well in your hearts, how 52:33 through 52:36 when the Hokies spirit is in the U.S. 52:41 Wilson a heart spectate 52:44 because they are one of the same essence, unselfish love, 52:49 holy righteous character. And he says 52:54 when Christ with the Holy Spirit, Wilson, you Christ 52:58 Wilson, you 5 tapes and then he says here's the purpose for 53:02 that. Thank you can be rooted and grounded in love and that 53:06 you may be able to comprehend with all the Saints do with the 53:10 length, the depth than the height 53:12 to know the love of Christ was passes, knowledge that you can 53:17 be filled with the fullness of God. So the holy spirit is so 53:24 important 53:26 to us and want to give you just a moment when when we're coming 53:30 back, 53:31 we are going to talk about the personal attribute to the Holy 53:37 spirit. Of course, we're going to start with your questions. 53:39 First, 53:40 you can Texas questions 618-228-3975, or email live at 53:49 3, a B in DOT TV. 53:52 But when we come back, we're going to not only do those 53:55 questions. We're going to look at 10 attributes of the Holy 54:00 Spirit. 54:01 >> And the reason why that's vitally important, Shelley and 54:03 those of you watching the program and and past that and 54:06 say here 54:07 he's there's a danger when you start trying to box 54:12 and dimension eyes to holy spirit to use. And this is with 54:16 the challenges come in. When people try to define the holy 54:20 spirit in the physical attributes in a nature sense, 54:24 this is where they are trying to accomplish what God has 54:29 never revealed to us. 54:31 God has revealed the attributes of the work, the function, 54:35 the necessity, the office of the Holy Spirit. He is never 54:39 revealed to us attributes. He never says he became flesh 54:43 and dwelt among us has he said of Jesus. 54:46 He never says. Speaking of the Holy Spirit in that dimensional 54:50 way, 54:51 Jesus came to express the father. He's the he's a he's a 54:54 very image of the invisible God. But the Bible never gave 54:57 dimension to the Holy Spirit is because that is not the that's 55:02 not the focus of the holy spirit sparked just by the 55:05 whole head. The timid should bite of God who is spirit, 55:09 right? 55:10 But but you'll see because the Bible doesn't do that. 55:14 All when we go to the attributes of this is 55:16 beautiful. When we talk about the attributes, you have to 55:19 conclude there's no possible way and all the police lord, 55:23 forgive me for this. There's no possible way that I can cut my 55:27 grass 55:29 without something to cut it, 55:31 touch the grass. 55:33 But if you use nothing but that's not true. 55:36 How are you convicted? 55:39 Who brought conviction? No one. 55:42 The holy spirit to bring conviction 55:44 bring judgment te chis righteousness.
