[00:00:01] Speaker A: Good morning. Good morning. How are you on another fine, fine, beautiful day. I hope you're having a great day today, and I hope you are excited today because today is the day that the Lord hath made. He's made today.
Be therefore thankful. Be happy. Enjoy the moments of your life. Last night I was my birthday and we had a family dinner and it's just. I was just so thankful for where we are. I'm so thankful for the people that we are surrounded with. And yeah, man, I'm just blessed. However, this morning I woke up in a little bit of a mind come. I think I ate too much gluten or something last night. I have no idea, but I feel a little. A little out of it. But I was reading this morning in second Corinthians, I'm gonna kind of pick.
[00:00:46] Speaker B: Up where we left off yesterday.
[00:00:48] Speaker A: If you go to Second Corinthians, chapter five. Let's start in 14. It says, for the love of the Messiah constrain with us or holds us or keeps us together.
Judging this, that if one died for all, then all died. And he that died for all, that they which should live should no longer live henceforth to themselves, but to him which died for them and rose again.
Okay, there's a lot. There's a lot in this. There's a lot in this. First of all, Adam transgressed against God and the connection between man and God was severed. The spirit died.
You have the body, soul, and the spirit part of Adam went away.
Now there's that state of death was created, right? So your fleshly nature, it walks towards death. Your spiritual nature, it walks towards life. And if Christ died for us, then we should reckon our bodies dead, which is the same nature. Now there's. There's a lot that goes into this, but I'm going to keep going.
Verse 7 or verse 16. Wherefore henceforth know we no one according to or after the flesh, or that fleshly nature, though we have known Messiah after the flesh. Therefore, if any man be in the Messiah, he is a new creation. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new. That new spiritual nature. Now, if you haven't been. If you don't read the Word a lot, or if you don't know the word, or if you haven't been listening to this stuff, I get it. What the. The point is, is that once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you're righteous. You are born spiritually new, you are a new creation.
And this is important because that spirit that worketh in you that spirit of truth shows you the spiritual point of life. The five senses cannot know what's going on in the spiritual realm. It just doesn't work like that.
But we have the Holy Spirit, the power from on high in you. You're born new, verse 18. And all things are out from the origins of God, who. Who reconnected us to himself by Christ Jesus.
When the connection between Adam and God was severed by one man, sin entered into the world. And by one man the release of that it was one man, Adam, who transgressed. And all men were under sin. But then you have Christ Jesus who died that we can all live free.
That you can stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free.
And be not entangled again with the weight or yoke, or bondage or servitude to the law. That's in Ephesians chapter 5.
Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, Romans 10, 9, 10. That if thou shalt confess. If you say that you believe that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the mouth or with the heart, man believeth unto righteousness. And with the mouth confession is made unto safety or salvation.
You have to believe that Jesus Christ died for you, he's your Lord and Savior, that he died for you. And you have to say it. And the minute that happens, you are born spiritually new. And then all things are out. From the origins of God, who reconnected us to himself by Christ. You're reconnected, you have the connection back with God, the spiritual connection, because it can't be a five senses thing.
And given us the ministry of the reconnection. The the Word. This is a testimony. The Word is a testimony of the reconnection with God.
When you read it, it reconnects you. And you have to start putting this stuff in your mind because you start to think different, you start to see different. The things that matter in your life are different.
The carnal man, that carnal nature is in direct opposition to the spiritual nature.
Verse 19. To wit, that God was in the Messiah because Jesus Christ is the Son of God. God was in the Messiah, reconnecting the world to himself, not counting their trespasses unto them. And hath placed in us the spoken word of the reconnection. And I love this because Logos is the. The Word is connected to the inner thoughts.
The inner thoughts of God are in you. The reconnection of his inner thoughts are in you and are working in you.
That's why. And now this is. I'm not sure if this is biblical or not, but that's why I believe that you have that. That you know when something's wrong, you have the inner. You know when it's right or when it's wrong. That godly grief that worketh a change in your moral position because you have it in you.
You know what's going on in your life, you know what's right, you know what's wrong. When you do wrong, it eats at you. But he hath removed all that stuff. But again, to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world or. Or reconnecting the world into Himself, not counting their trespasses unto them.
It's not like he's sitting there keeping a tally of the things you do that's wrong.
He's not counting that towards you, not counting that towards judgment, because you're righteous the minute you believe in the name of Jesus Christ. But the point is, is you have the spoken word of the reconnection in you now.
And we have a testimony of that spoken word, which is the Word itself.
And when you start to really marinate, I mean, if you think about putting a tea bag into water and letting it sit there over time and mar and really work, I mean, you can do the same thing with meat and marinating and meat, but you let this stuff steep in your life, you're gonna start to see a change in your life, and you're gonna start to see a change in your mind. And you're not going to live in fear and negat because that is not from the origins of God.
And for me, it's wonderful to kind of see the fruits of all the labor of the years I've worked, right? The fruits of my labor as far as physically or financially, but also spiritually changing my mind, changing the way I look at people, stopping the things that make it negative in life, not judging when I look at people that all came from the Word. That is not something that I just randomly woke up one day and decided to change or that a therapist told me to change.
It's biblical. You got to change your mind to what the Word says. And if you don't hear the Word, well, it's a little hard. You got to read this stuff for yourself.
Have a great day today. Pray the big prayers. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. Again, when you pray, you pray to God, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family. And I'll talk to you tomorrow.
I want to hear it.
I don't have the fear.
Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much. Just for today.
[00:07:37] Speaker B: I ask you to kind of clean my mind up that I can think straight. And I pray that these chair. I mean, again, these chairs, you gotta.
[00:07:44] Speaker A: Get me through these chairs.
[00:07:45] Speaker B: Also help our seamstress. You just take care of her, that she can get through this, too.
I thank you again for just every. Every moment of my life, for the things that you do. I pray that you kind of slow down time, that I can accomplish everything.
[00:08:00] Speaker A: That needs to get done in the.
[00:08:01] Speaker B: Next week and a half, and that the trip also goes just safely. Father, I thank you for the opportunity to live this life like we live it and for the blessings you've provided. And just for a great day today, I lift up everything to you in the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
