All is good. Good, good, good. Yeah, I can see people hopping on live. Good evening. Thank you for joining us here. It's just about three minutes past 12 Monday morning I believe Bank Holiday Monday, Sunday has just disappeared into history. I hope you had a good holiday you've been away with the children. If you've been just at home what you've been doing if you've been to church today, you've been celebrating the Passover and Resurrection Sunday May God bless you and strengthen you. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ. It's very difficult to come through where we come from actually think to well for me and think to myself, God, what Scripture am I going to turn to tonight? Well, believe it or believe it not I actually had three hours rest this afternoon i actually fell asleep on the sofa absolutely crazy. Like my just complete shutdown and fell asleep but when I woke up, I had a scripture my heart was, not my mind it was completely in my heart. And that is from the New Testament Romans chapter eight verse one. This is the go to Text tonight. This is not from my head. This is not from my thinking. I have done no studying over this whatsoever. In the last few hours, I've literally just felt this poured into my spirit. So we're going to jump straight in So good evening and welcome wherever you are, whatever your timezone is I'm looking at there, because that's the clock and it's it's a little bit behind time I think where are we? Someone tell us the time about four minutes past so for everyone in the world of podcasting, we thank you for joining us. I always say thank you for sharing all the 1000s of downloads on Spotify, Amazon music, I Heart Radio Buzzsprout Spotify, we thank you so much for everyone that looks in and shares all the podcasts and everything that goes on there. So let's just jump straight to Romans chapter eight, come on Put your glasses on come on Romans chapter row Romans chapter eight verse one you can hear me loud and clear. People are jumping on jumping online Thank you yet six minutes past 12 Monday morning I don't know about you guys have you lost track of time I've lost track of time completely and absolutely lost it not just time I've lost everything lately. To be fair, we write Romans chapter eight, Romans chapter eight, verse one and we will go for about the first four verses there about this is really really brilliant. I love this text. I love the way God has just dropped this in my spirit. You know, I really feel that this is for me tonight. I believe this is for you tonight. Maybe anyone that's just drip dripping in dropping in fallen in rumbling in coming in folding in whatever you're doing tonight. Looking at this live stream service. Thank you so much for joining us across the globe this evening. The stats have been really really high over the last four days. Absolutely amazing. from people all over the place. We thank you so much across the timezones, people in Australia. That was really great. Thank you so much for what you've sent back. And the feedback from there. We really are blessed. Thank you so much. Right Romans chapter eight, verse one, Romans chapter eight, verse one, this I really believe just just brings everything to a crescendo to a finish point to a place. And my voice is tired. My lips are slow tonight. So yeah, I might have a bit of struggle with pronounciation. But nevermind, you know exactly what I'm saying. So Romans, chapter eight, verse one, this is pinnacle. This is such a glorious text to go to tonight, after Thursday evening, Friday and the quietness of Saturday in the world and a scripture and then all of a sudden we drop, we drop on to Sunday. So I feel that this is really really relevant for each and every one of you, wherever you are across the world because it's about condemnation. Now this just absolutely brings us to a beautiful place. You know, we can never say Finish. Only Christ said it is finished Christ was the one that made it really really clear he said it is finished. So this text denial is just the starting point. I really believe I believe that there are new beginnings for many people on the other side of the lens I believe that there are great things for you I believe that that you are starting I'm starting to get an understanding that we are saved by the power of the living God we are saved through justification for sanctification, and all that sort of stuff that goes along with the biblical teaching that we are saved. I want to keep it really easy I want to keep it really light tonight I'm gonna go too deep, where we could get knocked off the peg where you're at where we're all tired and when we've had such a lot going on children are getting ready to go back to school and I thank you for the parents that are that are with me at this moment in time at this very unusual hour but I don't know about you but I find that this time is a very powerful time. It's a watch time the Scripture talks about this that the midnight hour the watch time, you know and it's quite high in the spiritual activity. So there are a lot of people awake, you know, people seem to become very alert this time of night. So let's jump jump straight in. Now this is about condemnation and what I need to put in front of that there is now no condom motion. And the Scripture makes it very clear, the Scripture makes it very plain. Why there is no condemnation. You know, it doesn't matter what the world says, It doesn't matter what anybody says, look, I've got a real stained completely rip to piece pieces, I should say, historical things in my life. It doesn't matter what the world brings up about me doesn't matter what they want to put across the light. So that math anyone wants to come in the church and call me all the names under the sun. And tell me what I was and how I what what that was, yes, I was that. But now there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus. So what I'm saying it's the world always reminds or tries to remind us, remind us what we was. And sometimes I dropped back into the mind, process of thinking through the cognitive process, and in my psychological as I dropped back, and I think to myself, Oh, God, what you have delivered me from what you have delivered me from, Lord, You are a good you are a powerful God. And I thank You, Lord, that you've delivered me from sex, drugs, and rock and roll over the years. Now, this scripture is so powerful, it is so beautiful. It is it is redemption, right in our eyesight. It is beyond my human understanding. So I won't be able to take this that deep tonight, because I really believe God is holding us in a place where the simple side of this text is, there is now no, there is no condemnation, there is no condemnation, the world can shout and dance and say what they will and do whatever they want to do. But there is now no condemnation. Let's see what it says in Romans chapter eight. Thank you to everybody that's joined. Join me and I know everyone online across the world. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, we thank you so much, wherever you are, there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, because through the law of through Jesus Christ, sorry, the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free for what the law of sin and death. What the law was powerless to do, was because it was weakened by the flesh, God dead by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so He condemned sin in the flesh in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met, who do not live according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. So if we back up to verse one, very quickly, we got communion together. And in a short while, and I just want to rest in this scripture a minute, you know, there is now no condemnation, no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, I really believe that God is calling many into salvation, I really believe God is calling many into the kingdom of God, I really believe God is drawing many, you know, through these live stream services through everything has been going on over the last few weeks through the pandemic, through the pressures of losing family of the pressures of money, situations, issues, at home issues at work, wherever we are, I really believe God is drawing people in a way that we've never seen it before. And it's suddenly come to light in my head and my heart and my, my spirit that the church is very powerless in in evangelizing and drawing people in because he goes down the religious road, it goes down the road that he shouldn't do now, I'm not going to go and jump on the banner of the church. And I, because this is about myself. And this is about you, because there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, because the law was powerless, there had to be a blood sacrifice. Over the last three days, you know, right up to this hour, we've been looking, we've been teaching we've been following the whole world, you know, certain areas of the world, certain parts of the world have really been putting on on so much regarding the Easter celebrations and the festival. And I will rephrase that, and I said Easter, and I'm hoping someone's going to pull me up on that on the past over, because this is about the past and over the past and over of the angel of death, and that is the living God, the God of Israel, the blood will be assigned across the doorposts across the lintel of the house, the blood will be assigned. So this is what it's all about. So this Romans, chapter eight, verse one really draws us to, to a place to pose I really believe that just where we can breathe for a little while, just take stock and and just go to you know what I am saved that, you know, the church seems to exhaust us, doesn't it? The church and religion seems to wear us out with activities and showmanship and this and I must perform and I must do this, and I must get on the streets. And I must evangelize and I must tell 1000 people about Jesus and I've got to do this. I've got to do that. Rather than actually relaxing in Christ and saying, You know what, I am saved. I am saved and God is calling me I really believe this with all my heart that God is calling people from all areas of life from every layer of culture from different areas. I really believe God is calling so many not into the ministry but into a walk with Him like never before. I'm not referring to ministry, I'm referring to walking with Christ in a way that we've never walked Even before I said it this morning online, in the church service this morning, God has really dealt with me through lockdown. He's really changed me. He shaped me. He's molded me. Lots of things have happened to me spiritually through lockdown, right from the very beginning right to now and I thank God that is a continuum. It will continue. He's changed my preaching style. He's changed my my thinking he's changed my attitude. He's, he's done so much through His Word. And when lockdown first came in, I thought that that was it, I thought everything was going to crash and burn. But actually, it was a time for believers to actually grow in Christ leaders to grow in Christ. And actually, we actually see that religion has actually crashed and gone. And I thank God for that. And certain areas of the organization is gone and, and finished, but the kingdom of God is alive. And I just want to let you know tonight that you belong to the kingdom you belong. Yeah. Good evening, I'll see you there from New Zealand. Hello, Peter. God bless you, my friend. Thank you so much for sharing from Peter, Gemma and Peter, God bless you and others across the other side of the globe. You know, it is really, really important that I understand that I am a new creation in Christ Jesus, the old is gone, and the new has come. This is really critical for believers now, because we have been so pressed, so hard pressed through lockdown for losing loved ones and friends, businesses collapsing, monies got tighter foods got tighter, fuel has got tighter, so much stuff has been been squeezed in many, many different areas of life. But I just want to encourage you tonight God loves you, you are a child of the living God. It doesn't matter if our lives do not reflect what the Church says. Christianity is like, what I got to understand is that God is shaping my character, God is changing me, God is melting and molding me into the person that he's called me to be. But I've been shaped for so long, by the world, by the family, by culture, by work, by business, by by every everyone else has been trying to shape me. And I've been listening to everybody else. Now this is really, really critical for me, because the first one, and what I should be listening to is the word of God. Now this will bring a lot of things into into a bit of a platform of understanding what do you mean? What I mean by that is the Scripture says, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and everything else shall be added unto thee. But when the world tries to shape us, and the world is so good, and business and work and home life, large families and the context of work, tries to shape us and mold us into characters and beings that they want us to be and who they want us to reflect and because that's what they want from us. But sometimes, there are many of us that seem to fight this all the time. And we can't can get quite frustrated in work contexts. We can and home life and marriages and life and, and friendship groups and social groups and all this because we can't be us, you know, but I just want to let you know be you wherever you are tonight. Be You be you because God created you and God saved you and God set you free and this lockdown period and it's still continuing. It's still continuing it hasn't gone I'm not referring to the COVID issue. I'm referring to the to the to the spiritual lock, the feeling of being locked down there is there is still a long press of the feet enough we're locked in. We can't move we're a little bit unwary here, there and everywhere. You know, certain things that we just can't seem to get back. And I don't even think that this word exists anymore normal what what actually is normal. We hear that and it drives me absolutely nuts. This is the new normal. Well, actually I've removed the word normal from our life. This is what God is doing in my life at this particular point. There are a couple of things I need to make sure that I'm in check with as a believer, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and everything else shall be added unto thee I seek Him in everything. Second thing is really important to me is that it doesn't matter what the world says about me the world can bring up my house and my god have I got a checkered history we're going to things that I got on my goodness, you know if they put it on the screens, oh my god, oh my goodness, I want to crawl under the table. But in Romans chapter eight verse one, this this brings me peace. This brings me peace because this is about this is a bout simply us there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus, the law of the Spirit of Life has set you free from the law of sin of sin and death. Jesus has set me free. Christ has set me free the Holy Spirit, the blood of Christ. You know the Word of God has set you free wherever you are across the earth tonight freedom is upon you in Christ Jesus. Now this is not about going into a religious box known as what we know as the church. It is not about going into a religious setting. You know when you've got the altar and you've got the statute and you've got this and that that that is all finished that has gone religion has been uncrushed, God is moving. God is moving. And the scripture says, God, what are you doing? He says, I'm doing a new thing when you're doing it said, I'm doing it now, you know, new things are happening. And it's really important for me and for you, whoever we are in Christ Jesus to be completely in with what God is saying through the word of God. So how do I know what he's saying? I look at the timeline of Israel. I look at Israel and I look at the Scripture, I read Thessalonians I get into that I understand creation. Now when I understand creation or Genesis, it helps me very clearly, as a believer, a Bible believing believer, get an understanding on what the rest of the Bible is talking about. Because foundationally I need to be in Genesis In the beginning, you know, the beginning is really, really important. So the Genesis is a foundational text that I need to be in. But I just got to encourage you tonight, whoever you are, wherever you are, for those that are in New Zealand, those that are in Ireland, those that are in America, those that are in New York, those that are here in Swanee, those that are in the surrounding areas, wherever you are capturing his live stream service tonight, I just want to let you know that Christ loves you unconditionally, that He died for you and for me, and that was that love is unconditional. The world around us might try and get on top of us and try and wear us out. But Christ loves you. Christ loves you. And he wants to let you know tonight through his word that there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, the law was powerless to break this. So now I understand that where we sit so when the scripture says in the New Testament in Matthew 2627, when it talks about the leading up to the crucifixion after the crucifixion, and especially about the crucifixion, when it says it Christ said It is finished. And with that he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Firstly, I understand that he is in complete control of his now I'll use the word destiny but that is a really poor and a very low word to use really, he's in charge in life and, and his death he is in charge of everything. The scripture says that he made a spectacle to all the principalities around him he made a spectacle to all the everything that was going on that the human eye could not see the spiritual atmosphere. Now the point that I want to get to, is the tearing of the temple curtain. Now this is important for me as a believer to understand the the understanding of the tearing of the curtain is very simply that the oldest gone the newest calm. Now there has been access access to the Father, but through Christ Jesus. So what we have is an unbelievable unbelievable scene being set for all of humanity to witness that Christ is on the cross of Calvary. He gave His life now, a lot of people struggle with with Fe was Christ. Why? Why did he go all through this we got to understand it's redemption, the redemption plan, he is the Redeemer. So as I studied Genesis, I suddenly start to understand that when I look at Genesis, and God guides me Genesis and I get an understanding on creation, and through creation of fruit, a Garden of Eden, and through God communicating to human beings are fine already that there is a redemption plan. But Genesis is a fundamental place to go to, to find everything we find the birth, the death, the resurrection of Christ, we find creation, we find the authority, we find the sovereignty of God, we find the word light. Genesis chapter one, verse three, I believe. And it says, And God said, Let there be light, he could have said anything else. But he created He spoke into being light. Jesus says, I am the light of the world. Jesus says, I am the way to the Father, no one else can get to the Father. It is only through me. He says, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life No one comes to the Father except through me. So access, the only time anyone can have access and had access. And the first point of access was when the temple curtain was torn into when Christ said it is finished, he bowed his head, he gave up his spirit. So what we get from Christ is that he is in full charge of salvation of his life of the universe, of death of life of every demonic force, he is in full charge. So when he bows his head, he gives up his spirit, he said, It is finished, the temple curtain was torn into suddenly access came, we come into the New Covenant. So what we have here, this we do not need sacrificial bulls and goats and everything that went on in the Old Testament that the high priests had to do and, and through the Levitical priesthood that that was now to the cross of Calvary. There was now the scripture says there is one sacrifice, one and one for all. Christ is the Lamb He is the Lamb of God. John says John the Baptizer gotta be careful not Beside John the Baptist, because the bat a Baptist is a bat is a movement, the Baptist movement, but the actual text is referring to as John the Baptizer. So John the Baptizer says, Here Come Look, Behold the Lamb of God. He was prophesying to Christ, Christ was the Lamb, the perfect Lamb, the Lamb that was without blemish, he died. Now, this brings us to this Romans, chapter eight, verse one. And it says, There is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus. Let me remind you tonight, you are in Christ Jesus, I am in Christ Jesus, how can we be in Christ Jesus, because He sent His power and His authority through salvation to us, by grace, you have been saved. So when I become saved my earth suit my body, the skin that I live in this vessel that I walk around in, I did not have the power to call salvation onto me, and into me and over me, because this comes from the God above the God of Israel. And as we've said, and as we've studied, and we've looked at podcasts, and we've thrown open the Word of God, and God has revealed that through revelation or knowledge, it's very clear to see that salvation comes to the human being, God comes and presents himself. It says in John 316, For God so loved the world that he gave, he gave. So there's a given, there's a given and there's a presenting, there's a presenting, and there's a receiving and we don't realize that we receive, actually, before our physical existence fully understands that we are children of the living God, it is not the power of my lips, it is not the power of my, my process in the cognitive process. And it is not the power of me as a human being that decides to say, Jesus, I'm gonna follow you today. Before all this actually happens. He's already in he is already set me free. He has already died on the cross for me. But this is an assurance that anyone that feels tonight that they are condemned by the church, by religion, by the pastors, by the leaders, by family, by work by by people around you, there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus. Let's just tell ourselves tonight we are free. The scripture says who the sun sets free, is free indeed. Who the sun now who is the son, John 316, For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son. We know that the Son is the Messiah, the Messiah is the Savior. The Savior is the Redeemer, the Redeemer is our salvation. So He is our Savior. He rescues us, He saves us, he covers us in the blood of Jesus. I love this because this is not about going to church. This is not about being religious. This is not about sitting in church and being bored out your socks and thinking, when's the preacher going to be finished? This is about the unconditional love of the Father. Look at the story of the prodigal son, the story of the prodigal son, what a powerful story in the Word of God, the prodigal son, the father is always looking out for the protocol's. The father is always looking out for those that are saying, father, I've sinned and fallen short of your glory. Even though I know I am saved, I still sin, I still say the wrong thing. I still think the wrong thing, I still want to do the wrong thing, I still want to act in the flesh. Now come on, we have to be very real. There is no one super human on this earth. We are We are human beings. We are made in the image and the likeness of Christ. But what we have to remember is we are human and we are in a fallen position. People don't like to hear that I am a sinner saved by grace, I will always be a sinner saved by grace until this body is taken home or not the body but the enemy is taken home. When God extracts me off the earth when this earth suit hits and crashes the floor when they put me in the ground. And they say when a bad old chap that further when God calls me home. That's when I get a new suit. Get a new suit, don't get a bad suit. Don't get a cape. You ain't superheroes. You know what I'm saying? But I just want to let us know tonight. There is now no condemnation. Many people have been brought up in family life that have had condemnation for one way or another thrown at your feet. You've always been put down you've always been condemned. You've always been stripped back. You've always been pushed around by words not so much the physical because more than physical. I honestly believe with all my heart. Something that is more powerful than physical abuse is speech, the power of speech. You know, speech is so powerful. The Book of James it makes very clear that the tongue is the smallest muscle in the body, but it does the most damage Ah, it will leave a price someone up, or in the next breath, it will tear someone down. So I think I think that the, the way that we get really hot is through words, not maybe through physical abuse, maybe you need to correct me on that. And I understand because I work in areas of that as well. So I get that, but I really believe that words are damning, or words are uplifting, you know, you've only got to get a text you only got an email, you've only got to get someone that is angry or, or saying saying, Well, you've only got to be as a child growing up in our household, or you've only got to be in an abusive. And when I say relationship, I'm not referring to fisticuffs, but just verbal, just verbal all the time, because words are arrows and where do they land, they land in your heart, they go through your air gate, they land in your innermost being, so we got to be careful of words. And that brings us into an area an area of who is in my circle, you know, who is in the circle of my stretch of my life? Who is around me that are there but Barnabas his encouragement? And Barnabas, you know, the ones in the Scripture? He talks about Barnabas as a son of encouragement? Have we got those that encouraged us in every area of life? Or are we got people that condemn us in life, but I just want to let you know tonight that you are not condemned, if anyone is condemning you for your past for your historical events, for what is going on in your life. Now, if you are in a relationship that is abusive verbally, if people are at work, bullying you, we got a big thing in the workplace, across the world, across the nation, in universities in school, and in many areas of life bullying, you know, and how is bullying done? The biggest way bullying is done is through words, through through being very vocal. So words are very, very powerful. Words will affect our character words will shape us words will will tear us down or build us up. But but this is for me tonight, and this is for you tonight. There is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus. No condemnation. It is that simple. It is that clear? Why is there no condemnation in Christ? Why is there no condemnation in God? What is this? How can this be true? Because there was a sacrifice, and his name was Jesus. His name was Emanuel. He is the great I Am Colossians we read out today very clearly says, Christ is the image of the invisible God. Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah shalom, he is our healer. He is our guide. Jehovah Rapha. He is our healer, our provider. He is our God. And the psalm in Psalm 62. If you wish to turn to Psalm 62, I won't turn there But Psalm 62. It says God is our Savior, He is our salvation. He is our rest. He is our guide. And four times it mentions very clear in Psalm 62, he is our salvation He saves me, he is my salvation, He is my rock, he is my deliverer, he is, and you know what, there is no condemnation in God, all my sin, all my iniquities, all my transgressions, all my filthy rags, will now to the cross of Calvary, and this Monday morning at 1230, for whatever it may be. Now, this is absolutely glorious. This is beautiful to know that it's not about me walking into church to receive salvation, because there are so many across the globe, being saved in other religions that haven't even heard about the Messiah. And God is revealing Himself to them in visions in dreams, and taking them out of idolatry, taking them out of ideology, taking them out of the grip of slavery, out of the grip of tradition out of other world religions and bringing them in to the kingdom of God, bringing them in we are hearing through the world of the persecuted church, through Barnabas through open doors, through Trans World Radio, through different areas through for release International and so many voices in the martyrs. We are hearing that God is saving human beings that are in other world religions. They have never walked into a church. They have been serving foreign gods, they have been lifting up some gods they have been worshipping foreign idols. But God has not waited for them to step into a English church, sit in an English pew and say, Father, forgive me. God has saved them while they were in other religions. So there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus. This Christianity is not about walking into a religious box. It is about understanding that my Redeemer lives and because he lives I can face tomorrow. and you are saved, you are a child of the living God, you are blessed and highly favored. You are wonderfully and you are fearfully made and the scripture that I read out that is so clear before our eyes tonight it says there is now therefore, therefore there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, are you in Christ tonight you are in Christ, because through Christ Jesus, the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. That was what we was talking about before the cross. That was before the cross. Now the cross has come into being crucifixion resurrection over 2000 years ago, there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus for what the law was powerless to do. God dead by sending His one and only Son in the likeness of sin. Jump into the book of Isaiah roundabout, verse Cardmember, the verse chapter 53. He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities, all sin was laid on him. He became the likeness of complete purity, complete holiness, all the way to the crush through the cross through the events of crucifixion, pureness, holiness, the living Christ. Now I understand how I can say this, there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus for what the law was powerless to do. God did by sending His Son so there is a sending, there is a process of sending God is sending, God is always delivering God always always healing. God is always restoring, there is restoration, there is healing. You know, I love the fact that I do not have the strength or the capabilities of saving myself. God is the Savior, God is the Redeemer. God is the rescuer. God is the great I Am He is before all things He created all things. Genesis chapter three, verse one, God said, Let there be light. And there was, isn't it interesting, as I said earlier, God's Christ said, I am the light of the world. Isn't it interesting that where light light is darkness has to go where light is darkness just fades out. We understand through science, through mathematics, we understand through physics, we understand very clearly, through educational pressing, we understand through the teaching through science, and other areas of the calculations of darkness, trying to work out how darkness exists where it comes from. It only exists because it has the absence of one thing, it only exists because it has the absence of light, light is powerful. Light changes the atmosphere. Jesus says, I am the light of the world. Jesus says at the very beginning of time, I'll use that, oh, you say Jesus, or if we want to come back to the fact we'll come back to the biblical terminology. So use the biblical terminology. God said, Let there be light. And there was the first spoken word Let there be light. And there was and God saw God created the heavens and the earth, and God brought into creation, God spoke into being how, you know, I, I'm afraid to say there are many believers out there that are not creationist that are looking towards more towards Darwinism, and lacing it I know leaders that lean into Darwin more than they, they lean into the Bible. So I have to make a very clear statement, that if you are are a believer, you've got to understand the formation and the creation. I understand that there are church leaders that don't believe in hell out there, because I am very familiar of one and two of them. So that comes into your arena of the conversation in this area, am I really saved because once you're saved, you get delivered from everything in your life. And what we also must understand as believers that deliverance ministries can be quite dangerous, because they can put us in a mindset that we're always worried about what Lucifer what the sons of gods are doing, what the phillium aren't doing, what the warriors of old are doing, what the the agents satanic agents are doing. Yes, they exist. Yes, I understand that. But the Bible says the devil is under my feet. So what I got to remember is once saved, always saved, that, at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow on the roof under your 3d Earth. Now he's very interested in the dark side of the world will use words to try and pin us down and try and trap us. That can be one way that Lucifer that satanic agents work is by using words to telling us that you're no good. Who do you think you are, you know, words are very, very powerful. So without going into the spiritual warfare stuff tonight, because time is pressing in. And it's dark and I've got a walk home. And I've got to be careful or be careful walking around the streets, oh it's dark. Oh my god, where wherever you are lighting this is, wherever you go a light is wherever you are, you light up the world not because of you, but because you are a lantern. And now please understand what I'm saying by this. Don't go around shouting and putting on social media. Pastor Ben says we are lanterns. What I mean by that is you shine that light not because of you not because of me. But because greater is He that is in me then II that is in the world. And your word is a lamp unto my feet, Psalm 119 105, Your word is a lamp unto my feet, a light for my path. So wherever my feet go, wherever I tread, it is always going to be lit up because I carry the light here and you carry light. Now we have to be very careful how we use this. I'm not talking about trends or sending meditation, I'm not talking about astral plane. I'm not talking about all the wacky things that go on on the on the other side of the cross. I'm talking very simply and very biblically what the word actually tells us. If Christ is the living word, as he says, He's the living word. If Christ tells us very clearly, that He is the light of all men, and He is the light of the world. And the Bible says greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. What are we carrying? We're carrying word, we're carrying hope we're carrying Christ. Credit we are we are walking vessels. We are walking earthen vessels carrying the Messiah, the kingdom of God is within. So what I'm just trying to get to is when I when I'm talking about a Lenten, you shine light because God is within you. The scripture says Your eyes are the window to your soul. The eyes shine the eyes, tell me everything that's in your heart, I can tell so much from someone's eyes, you can see so much through someone's facial expressions through their eyes or their lives. Are their eyes light, are they bright? Are they sharp? Or are they dark? There are certain leaders I won't mention the certain leaders around the world. But when you look at them on the socials, when you see them being interviewed, their eyes are absolutely black, their eyes are black, completely black. This is really interested in how eyes really tell you where a person stands, the eyes are the window to the soul, out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water, what I feed myself I will become so when I feed myself the Word of God, I will become more and more Christ like I will never get to VI as Christ and in that context, but I will become Christ like because the more I study His Word, Christ ology he shaped me, you know, Sarah is so much to get from that, you know, don't don't a bit of a divert at this moment. But this all comes down to that to the simple fact again, that there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, For what the law was powerless to do. God dead by sending His one and only Son that whosoever shall believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. So it's really, really important for me as a believer to clearly understand that there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus for the law, was powerless to do what the law was powerless to set any human being free. So what set me free it was the blood of Christ. It was the sacrificial lamb. It was the Word of God. How can you say that is the word of God? Because in John chapter one, very clearly, verse one, it says, In the beginning, was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John chapter one, same chapter down in verse 14, there abouts, John writes, John, John speaks to the audience, the Jews before him, and he says this st very simply, and the Word became flesh. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John says, And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. So the Living Word went to the cross of Calvary, the living word, there is power in the word there is power in the spoken word. And the scripture says, God gave him the name. He carries the name. And at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, and so forth. We understand that Christ is the living word. He is your Redeemer, he is your God, He is your King. We're coming to the table in just a few moments. And I just want to remind you again and again and again and again, Romans eight, Romans, chapter eight, verse one, if you're if you're sitting on the sofa, or if you're working tonight, if the sun is shining out in New Zealand, as we know people are watching Australia, wherever you are, at this moment, I just want to let you know again that there is now no condemnation, there is no act under the sun. There is no sin under the sun that is too great for the living God. There is nothing in my life that I have not and have not been and cannot be delivered from. There is no sin in my life that that God cannot deal with because he is greater than sin. He's bigger than sin, because sin was crushed at the cross of Calvary, All sin, all iniquity, everything was put on him sin, historical sin, the present day sin at that time was on him. And let's just think about this for a moment, the future sin. Now are we going to be honest tonight, the human mind cannot grasp the supernatural things of God. Now, we could quite easily say, I can't grasp all that. Now, I'm not quite sure about all that. It's too big for the human mind. It's too big for the process of thinking it's too big for knowledge. It's too big for for study, it's too big to understand. There are certain areas and there is actually a lot of areas of the Gospels and the Old and the New Testament where it is actually a mystery. And it will stay a mystery because that's why he is God. He is a mystery to humanity. Science is trying to track him. Mathematics is trying to work him out. The physicians are trying to calculate him, you know, psychosis analogies, you know, they're trying to capture him in format in every area of science is trying to box them. You know, NASA is trying to find them. You know, the world is trying to find the Big Bang Theory for the Hadron Hadron Hadron Collider, sorry, my lips are tired tonight, you know, on the borders of France and Switzerland, where they're trying to find this big magic button the gift of life. Well, it happened in Genesis, let them know in Genesis, you'll find the answer in Genesis, you don't need to spend another trillion quid you don't need to spend another million pound looking under the earth trying to try and get this hadron collider to to make the big bang theory because the Big Bang doesn't really exist. Because God said, Let there be and there was, you know, if you want to really ruffle the feathers of an atheist, just go, do you know what I believe in that God said, Let there be light and there was and you know what, I will leave that with you. You can let that sit on your lap, that will cause arguments. So until the sun comes home, and I'm referring to the living Christ. You know, I believe in Genesis, I believe from Genesis to Revelation. I believe in the birth, the death, the resurrection of Christ. I believe in the rapture of the church, I believe that we are living in n days, I believe that as I look across the world, at this moment, the platform in the world, I can see that the scripture is completely right in how it tells and how it prophesize where we sit wars, rumors of wars, you know, famines, desolation, children rise in against parents, lawlessness, and we understand lawlessness is not about the world, sinning and going right. It's not about that what it is about the church, I will say the church religion, not following the scripture that they've got. They're out there doing their own interpretation of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the 66 books. But let's just remind ourselves, as we come to the table, wherever you are tonight, across the Romans, chapter eight, verse one, there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus. Because through Christ Jesus, the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free. I want you tonight, I want you tonight, I want you to remind yourself that you are free. You are free. You are free from all condemnation in relationships, you are free from all condemnation from the world, you are free from real from religious activity, you are free from any narcissistic controlling relationship you might be in, you are free from any narcissistic controlling business leaders, lectures, religious organizations, you are free, you do not belong to an organization, you do not belong to your mother or mother or your father, as the scripture said this morning, in the gospel that we will read in you belong to God because it's not by Father's will. It's not by a mother's will it is not by human descent. It is not by natural being. You are here because of God brought you into the world. And you will find as the psalmist writes, before the very beginning of the foundation of the world, I knew you I knitted you together in your mother's womb I put you together even before the biological process come into being I created you, your mum and dad were just vehicles to get you into the world. And I could have got you into the world without any human being because I am God. I am the King of kings and the Lord of lords and I am the I Am. He is God and He is king. And as we come to breaking bread right now as we come around the Passover table together, I just want to remind you again, let the world do what the world is going to do. You are not condemned and you are not condemned, I am not condemned is very interesting. There are a lot of people with very loud voices around us that are trying to remind us what we was. But I think what I need to do is remind those loud voices around me what I am. I'm a believer, from Genesis to Revelation, I believe I am a son of the living God. And I believe as the scripture says in in Romans, chapter eight, verse one, there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, you can, will actually you are not condemning me because I'm free from condemnation. So you can say what you want how you want it, you can send it in text or email form, you can stamp it on the church wall, but my God has set me free from my past, my history, my historical sin, and I am free, because who the sun sets free, is free indeed, so I am free. And if he can say that in ink, Vica like me, He can set you free. If he can set someone free, like me, He can set you free, you are a child of the living God and you are blessed and highly favored. He loves you unconditionally. Let's take communion on this Monday morning, as we just gather around the word of God just for these few moments. Forgive me as I just grab a bit of coffee to come on. And let's break bread together. Father, in the name of Jesus, we just break bread. Right now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Father, we exalt you. And Lord, we do this in remembrance of the we do this in remembrance of the I thank you, this is not about the institution of religion. I thank you that there are people breaking bread on the other side of the world, in their home, sitting on the beach, at work on a scaffold, in a van at their desk, in their lecture hall, wherever they are at home on a school run, sitting in a field sitting at the table, sitting in the bed, sitting wherever sitting in their front room, their bedroom, sitting on their porch, sitting in their garden, whatever they are doing. I thank you that we have by the word of God that we are able because we have access, because the temple curtain was torn into and we have entered into a place of access to the Father, because Christ went to the cross of Calvary, and we are blood wash, we are sanctified. We are washed in the Crimson Tide. You are a child of the living God, you had been bought with a price and it wasn't the 30 pieces of silver. They went back to religion they went back and that bought a field of blood. You have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus, not 30 pieces of silver. The Ransom has been paid one price, one sacrifice, the temple curtain was torn into we have access, how do I get access? I got access through Jesus. Jesus says I am the Way, the Truth and the Life No one comes to the Father, except through me. I go to the Father through Jesus, I go through the Word, the Living Word to the great I AM. And the Father's arms are always open. And his arms are open tonight to the protocols. Are your a protocol. Have you been running? Have you been feeling condemned? Not by God, but by words of the world? Well, just let me remind you as I as I lead us in, in prayer, in a few moments, you are not condemned because you are free. Because Jesus has set you free because of the cross of Calvary. Not because of the word Easter. But because of the word pass over because of the passing over of the angel of death. God in Exodus very clearly tells us the blood will be a sign. And there is a sign tonight that you are covered and you are blood washed and you are sanctified and you are justified. And you are right standing with God in His eyes because he has watched us and all sin and all iniquity and all guilt and all filth and all dirty rags have been now to the cross of Calvary. There is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus. Tell your heart tonight you are in Christ Jesus Father, bless this bread that symbolizes the body of Christ. And as we take this bread together tonight we thank you for the bread. The bread that we can just pause and say thank you Jesus, as we take bread in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. In Jesus name, amen. You are blood washed. You're a child of redemption. You are redeemed. I love the fact that it doesn't matter how angry I get with myself. Doesn't matter how angry I Get with God. All the pastors said he got angry with God. I've been angry, I've been frustrated. But straightaway I say, Lord, I'm sorry about. But it's about being real. It's about being authentic. It's about being who I am. Because he created who I am. The psalmist says something so very powerful, and very prophetic. He says this, he says, that God created you, in your mother's womb, He knitted you together. And not only did he do that something that is very profound are very powerful. Before, before your vocal cords came into being, what the scripture says that every word that was spoken, God already heard, God has already heard our voice. Before we have even spoken. Before, there's been any command of the vocal cord, before the word has been spoken from us, as human beings, whatever side we might want to look at, pre cross after the cross in between the cross, every word that has been spoken up to now, and what we even don't even know that we're going to speak the actions that we don't even know that we're going to take the words that we don't even know that we're going to speak the anger that we're going to find ourselves in the unforgiving posture that we might find ourselves in, in the situations that we may find ourselves in whatever life style choices they are, they was now to the cross of Calvary, before the action came into physical being. So it has been covered in the spiritual realm with God through the washing our blood through the crucifixion, through Christ going to the cross of Calvary, through the temple cut and being torn into, we have access to the Father, the Father hasn't reject us, rejected us there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus for what the law was powerless to do. The old covenant, there has been a new covenant by Christ going to the cross the Calvary, freedom is on you. You are free, who the sun sets free is free indeed, I've got to stop because you know what is going to be Christmas? Come on, let's take this Father in the name of Jesus. I thank You, Lord, that I am blood washed, I am sanctified, I am justified, I am healed. I am a son of the living God. And tonight, Lord, we give you thanks for redemption, redemption, redemption, Lord, keep reminding me the unredeemed keep reminding me Lord of the past over the passing over. And as Christ was in the Garden of Gethsemane, I thank you, Jesus, that you said, Not my will, but Thy will be done. Isn't that interesting what what Christ said in the garden? The Living Word was saying, if it is possible, take this cut from me purely because he knew what cup he was about to carry on the cross of Calvary was going to be so strong and so powerful. Not that he didn't have the capabilities of succeeding and coming through that. But we see there a glimmer of the man Christ Jesus. How can you say the man Christ Jesus, because the New Testament reference him has this the man, Christ Jesus, fully God, fully deity, fully man. So we hear the voice of the Messiah in the Garden of Gethsemane. If it is possible, take this cut from me, but not thy will. Not my will. Not my plan, not my purpose, thy that thy yours, your will be done. So Father, I thank you that Jesus said, Father, whatever your will is, I will go through wash me and cleanse me in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Amen. God bless you and strengthen you. Thank you so much for staying with me. We've done another 54 minutes 18 seconds on the podcast in machine as we come to oppose we don't say we never finished because God is always moving. God is always dealing God is always revealing. God is always moving. He says I am the same yesterday today and forever more. So that is very interesting. I am the same What do you mean God? I'm a jealous God. As I was jealous and the old I was jealous in a new What do you mean law by you are the same yesterday today and forevermore? My word is yes and amen. What do you mean God tell me a little bit more. I am the great I AM. The foundational points are really, really important to understand and I pray that wherever You are tonight, that God will continue to reveal revelation or knowledge, and God will reveal the plan of redemption. I pray that for everyone that has been with us for these nights, and that will capture all this stuff back I think there's about four hours what we've done just without Sunday morning, and without the podcast and over the last few evenings in the early hours in the morning, and by God's grace, we will continue to do some midnight hour stuff in the future we won't wait until the calendar tells us so we'll we'll start doing it very very soon. And we'll just see our God leads us in many areas and very differently. I pray that you'll get some sleep tonight I pray that you will get some rest tonight and you will find that when you wake in the morning, you will find your heart being full of joy because he lives I can face tomorrow I pray that wherever you are at work if you're on the other side of the world, and the sun is really beating down on your home and your your you are doing whatever you're doing I pray that God will reveal his script to you at this hour at almost one o'clock where are we someone give me a time check where are we are almost got me at one o'clock nearly. I just pray that whatever your time is your timezone across the world. I just thank God that he's revealing his word to you. But I really feel that the church, the Body of Christ, religion, denominations are going to see something so powerfully. There is a shaking in the UK, God has shaken the shores of the UK, let alone the world. God is not shaking the outside of the world within the UK, but what he's doing in the UK, he's shaken up the church. He's shaken up the church, he is sifting the church, just like a gardener has won them around sieves, and he's got all that Earth and he's got all that rock and he's just sifting it. You know, I pray that I will fall through that I won't be caught on the top because I don't really caught on the top where the organization is I want to I want to come through Lord, I wanna I want to land I want to come through the sift. And, Lord, I want you to sift me, Lord, I want you to shake me. I want you to strip me back. 1am Thank you so much. It's 1am Wherever you are across the world, I know where my sister is. I know a very well. Samantha, thank you so much for letting us know. It's one o'clock. That's it.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining us through all our podcasts are 1000s and 1000s of downloads. You know God is doing new things. But wherever you are tonight, hold on tight to his word. May God give you rest tonight. And I pray that when you wake up today, in the morning, wherever you are, you will wake up with such a feeling in your heart, that you will know that you are saved. Maybe for the first time in your walk as a Christian or a believer that there is a new feeling in your heart that it's not by works. That no one can vote. It is by grace you have been saved. And God is saving us outside of the church. This site just to finish on there for a few moments. God saves us outside of religion. God saves us outside. He has already saved us before we come in.
