99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Welcome to Lesson 5 of the Kingdom school. I'm very excited to be with you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think that this lesson will bless you a lot.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Some of you will experience freedom today.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Some of you will have never heard this before.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I know some people will have an issue with what I'm sharing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But please bear with me. You’ll see that these things are actually biblical.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let’s start. I hope you're ready. Lesson 4 was called: ‘Saved out of Egypt:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Our journey of salvation.’ I love that lesson.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I want to start now by reading this beautiful feedback:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A man wrote here: ‘Brother Torben! I'm 72 years old.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is the first time I've heard the Full Gospel message like this:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Preached out of the Old Testament. That is such a great teaching.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Church needs to hear it, even more than the lost.’

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, this man is 72 years old.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This was the first time he’s heard the 
gospel preached out of the Old Testament.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This comment really affected me. I experienced exactly the same thing in jail.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God revealed it to me in a new way: the gospel in the Old and New Testaments.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The gospel of the Kingdom. Much of this was new for me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what the church needs. God brought me to jail to reveal this to me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I get extremely excited when I receive a comment like this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The first four lessons:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lesson 1: The Beginning of Eden to the new Heaven and Earth:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Fall, Noah, and the Flood.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lesson 2: Abraham Our Father:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This happened after the fall, wickedness and destruction.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How God desired a people who are His, beginning with Abraham.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He is the father of Faith - a man had a family that later became a nation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lesson 3: I explained how that nation was called out of Egypt.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Likewise, we are called out of Babylon.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was called: ‘Called out of Egypt’: How 
that nation was called out from Egypt.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How we today are called out to be the Church.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We are set apart as God's holy people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I love that lesson. I want to start with a personal testimony.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Last week, my daughter Simone got married.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here’s a picture of the area just outside 
this studio. I'm standing there, smiling.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Simone and Joshua have just said “Yes” to each other. They were so excited.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This wedding, this past week, is the strongest picture for me of this:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The church is those who are called out. They are holy and separated.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This wedding was holy and so beautiful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The fear of God was there in a beautiful way.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What happened just a few hours before this?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I saw my daughter Simone in her wedding dress for the first time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Her hair was done. She had makeup on and everything. It was so, so beautiful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here is a one-minute video of my reaction.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For the first time I saw my daughter standing in the beautiful wedding dress.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My reaction surprised me. I really broke down.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I want to show you this clip and then will continue talking it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[Unclear speech and Danish, crying] So, you can see here that I broke down.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It’s in Danish so it’s hard to understand. Not a lot was said:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“You're beautiful”, “I love you Simone”, “I love you Dad”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was a strong experience for me. I saw my daughter there.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She was so holy, beautiful, clean and ready to be given away to Joshua.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what the bride is. She is called-out and separated.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She is ready for her husband. Here are some verses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Paul wrote: “For I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God is also jealous for His people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“I promised you as a pure bride to one husband – Christ.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So Paul promised the church as a pure bride to one husband.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That husband is Christ. Here are so many beautiful pictures.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Revelation 19: “Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honour to him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and his bride”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the church “has prepared herself.” We, the church, prepare ourselves:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear” What is that?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God's holy people.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here’s a photo of myself walking with my daughter Simone. Here’s the kiss.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I actually made a video about it. This is the thumbnail.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you’ve not seen the video, please do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I explain that this was the first time they’d kissed each other.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He has been living with us for four years.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They never touched each other intimately or kissed each other.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
After the wedding, they left. Then these two virgins became one flesh.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The blood was spilled. They entered into a covenant.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Watch the video. Look at this wedding.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
See that we, the church, have fallen far away from God's grace and intentions.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This wedding was an extremely clear example of what we should be:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Called-out, holy and separated. We should be purifying ourselves.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We’re not only invited to a wedding: We’re the bride. We’re living for that day.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I’ll talk a lot more about the wedding feast and God’s kingdom in another lesson.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But this is an extremely beautiful example of the topic we’re speaking about here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There’s a link under this video.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Please watch my video: “Now you may kiss the bride”.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I explain that the wedding is connected with the God’s kingdom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We’re invited to the wedding feast.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lesson 4: The Process of Being Called Out: The Israelites were called out.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Likewise, we must remove the yeast from our house (repentance).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There’s the blood (the cross) and the Red Sea (baptism into Christ).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then the Israelites walked through the wilderness toward the Promised Land.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They were guided by the Pillar of Cloud and Fire.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Likewise, we’ve received the Holy Spirit. We walk by the Spirit toward our goal:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The heavenly Jerusalem will come down from heaven.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Those were the first four lessons. We’ll 
move on now. I’ll talk about Moses today.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Next time, we’ll look at the New and Old Covenant and how they work together.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Today, we’ll look at Moses and the giving of the law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
From the law with Moses, to truth and grace in Christ.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There’s a difference between the old and new covenants.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lesson 5’s focus is on Freedom from sin.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We’re called to be free and to live holy lives.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
After a few more lessons, we’ll look at 
how David is connected with God’s kingdom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then there’ll be a permanent shift.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Instead of focussing on the nation of Israel, we'll focus on the kingdom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I hope you're ready. I’ll pray and then we'll start.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God, I thank You for this revelation. I thank You for Your truth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I pray that it will bring understanding, God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That it will bring truth and freedom to people, God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That they will experience the freedom, Jesus, that You have for them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Come with Your Holy Spirit. Help me to share this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Help people to receive this, God. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lesson 5 will also be long. I will talk about a lot of things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But there’ll be a break in the middle, if you need it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lesson 5: The law of Moses. There is the word ‘Death’. That law brings death.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The law of Christ: That law brings life. Here you can see:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
True understanding brings:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Freedom from sin, holiness, purity, victory and eternal life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What happened with my daughter and Joshua? Now you may kiss your bride.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This was the first time they kissed and were together.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That’s the fruit of a true understanding. It is not about an external law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It’s actually about the heart. This comes from a true understanding.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A false understanding brings slavery to sin, a double life and eternal death.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A true understanding of what the law means for us today, will bring that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A false understanding of the law will bring this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A true understanding of grace will bring this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A false understanding of grace will bring this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Some people with a false understanding talk a lot about the law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can know a tree by the fruit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Those people are enslaved and living a double life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But others talk a lot about grace.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They are also enslaved and living a double life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They don't have the right understanding of it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It’s important to say this at the beginning, when we look at the law of Moses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let’s move on: It’s possible to divide this law into three parts:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
1. Commandments governing their personal lives.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
2. Law for their social lives with one another.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
3. Ordination for religious lives. We can 
divide the law like this. I am not a Jew.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've never been a Jew. I'm a Gentile and a born-again believer. I'm grafted in.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The promise is mine. But I'm not a Jew. The law was given to Israel as a nation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Actually, it was never given to those who are Gentiles and live in another country.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's really important to understand this concept. Right now, I’m in Mexico.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I used to live in America.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In America, you’re allowed to drive through a red light if you’re turning right.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is not breaking the law. But it's different in Mexico.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can’t drive through a red light and turn right, apart from a few exceptions.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In Europe, it's even worse. There, I’m never allowed to drive through a red light.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But here in Mexico, I can’t say, “But they do that in Denmark. Or in America.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, I can do it.” No. I'm here now. It matters where you are.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can see a great lack of understanding here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Gentiles didn’t have ancestors living in Israel.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But those Gentiles try to apply the law of Moses to today

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
– how we should live with each other.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Some try to apply the religious laws of offerings and sacrifices today.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But those have nothing do with us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It all goes wrong, if we don’t understand to whom the law was given and when.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If we don’t understand the covenant that it was part of.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is extremely important. True understanding brings freedom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can fall into one of two ditches, when listening to teaching about this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One ditch is legalism, where you try to go under the law and become bound to it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The other is lawlessness, where you say: 
I'm not under the law of Moses. I'm free.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They don’t understand that we are under a different law now, the law of Christ.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That law is written on your heart. I’ll talk about that later.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, there's a narrow road between two ditches.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On one side is legalism, and on the other side is lawlessness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We’re called to live in the middle of the road. I hope you're ready.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Exodus 20 is about Moses and the Ten Commandments.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Exodus 19: “Now if you obey me fully” Not 30% or half but fully

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“and keep my covenant, then out of all 
nations you'll be my treasured possession.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Although the whole earth is mine,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Whom did God say that to? The 
Israelites, not the Danish or Americans.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He said that to Israel. The promise was given to them. The law was given to them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They needed to fully obey God’s commands. Then He would do His part.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We read here: “The people all responded together,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“We will do everything the LORD has said.” Did they do what God had commanded?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No. But God did not give up. Keep my commands (laws).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then you'll be my treasured possession… a kingdom of priests, a holy nation…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I’ll talk about that later. Let’s read a longer text that describes this"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What actually happened when the law was given and Moses was on the mountain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is a very significant event compared to others recorded in the Bible.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Exodus 19: “On the morning of the third day, there was thunder and lightning,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Everyone in the camp trembled.” The spectacle was frightening.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because the LORD descended on it in fire.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The smoke billowed up…” It was an incredible spectacle.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“As the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the voice of God answered him.” Moses talked with God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up.” What a spectacle!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“And the LORD said to him, “Go down and warn the people

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so they do not force their way through to see the LORD and many of them perish.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So Moses was commanded to prevent the people from going up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Otherwise, they would die. Why? Because this was a holy place.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A holy moment. We read here: “Even the priests, who approach the LORD,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So God was there. His holiness was there.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The other Israelites couldn’t simply approach God like Moses could.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The priest needed to consecrate themselves.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Otherwise, God would break out against them. Then we read:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“When Moses went and told the people all the LORD's words and laws,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they responded with one voice, “Everything the LORD has said we will do.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Moses then wrote down everything the LORD had said.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Moses built an altar. Israelites sacrificed offerings on it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I’m going through this quickly. “Moses then took half of the blood…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the other he splashed against the altar. Then he took the Book of the Covenant

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and read it to the people. They responded,
“We will do everything the LORD has said;

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we will obey.” Moses then took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in accordance with all these words.” So, 
Moses went up to God. God spoke to Moses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Moses wrote it all down, and built an altar. They slaughtered animals.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Moses splashed half of the blood against the altar.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He sprinkled the other half on the people. They had replied,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“We will obey everything the Lord have said.” But did they do that?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No, they didn’t. Read this: “This is the blood of the covenant

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that the LORD has made” This points to the New Testament.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Jesus said, “This is my blood of the New Covenant.” It points to Jesus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let’s continue: “The LORD said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and commandments I have written for their instruction.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And he stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Please read the whole of Exodus, because 
it's very important. This is our history.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It’s not just a Jewish story. It’s our story. All of this points to Christ.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In chapter 24, Moses went up the mountain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In chapters 25 to 31, are some of the things God revealed to Moses. Chapter 25:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Ark of the Covenant, the Table for the Bread and the Golden Lampstand.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Chapter 26: The Tabernacle (Tent of Meeting):

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
where God came down later and met with them, while they were traveling around.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Chapter 27: The Bronze Altar. Chapter 28: The Priests’ Garments.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Chapter 29: Consecration of the Priests. Chapter 30: The Altar of Incense.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Chapter 31: The Sabbath. We read after that: “When the LORD finished

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave 
him the two tablets of the covenant law,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But what happened while Moses was on the mountain in God’s presence?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Only a short time before, the people had said,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“We will do everything the LORD has said; we will obey.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But not long after, they did the opposite, while Moses was on the mountain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We read here: “When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Come, make us gods who will go before us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we don't know what has happened to him.””

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Try to imagine this situation. They’d said, “God, we want to obey you.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then Moses had sprinkled the blood of the covenant on the people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Moses had gone up the mountain. After less than 40 days, they said

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“We don't know what’s happened about Moses. Let's make a golden calf.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then they broke God's law. I’ll talk more about that later.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They actually broke the first two of the ten commandments:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You shall have no other gods before me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You shan't make yourself an image in the
form of anything in heaven or on earth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You shall not bow down to them. But that’s
what they did. They made a golden calf.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What did they call it? “This is the LORD who brought us out of Egypt.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is the LORD our God, Yahweh, who brought us out of Egypt.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They did not change God's name but they changed his image.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We do the same in our minds today. We say, “We serve God, the god of the Bible.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We serve Christ Jesus.” We don’t change God’s name.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But we change His image in our minds. Suddenly, this is a different Jesus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A different God. I want to ask: Is your God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Is He the God who brought the Israelites out of Egypt?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If not, you’ve made yourself an idol. You are serving a different god.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You’ve done the same as the Israelites. Many people do that today.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They serve a New Testament god, full of grace and mercy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They say that the Old Testament god was 
evil. But the Bible is true story.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I’ll talk about that later. Three thousand people were killed that day.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I’ll talk about that, shortly. Before we continue, I want to remind you of this:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The covenants point to Christ and the New Covenant.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I want to show you these pictures and shadows, that'll become clear to you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We’ve looked now at Noah, Abraham and Moses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
With Noah, the sign of the covenant was the rainbow:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A sign of hope and a new beginning for those who were saved in the ark;

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the rest perished in the waters. With Abraham, circumcision was the sign:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The cutting of the foreskin was a sign of the Covenant

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- so that the people would not be cut off from the promise.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Instead, they would inherit through Abraham. Now we have Moses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God gave him stone tablets with His laws written down:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Israelites first needed to keep His laws.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then God would make them His treasured possession.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A kingdom of priests and a holy nation. Let's look at Christ here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
With Noah: “In Christ, we are now saved from the waters (symbolizing baptism).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We leave behind the old life and embrace hope for eternal life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The ark is like Christ, in whom we are now saved. We put off that old life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We are saved through the water. Now, we have hope and eternal life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Abraham and the circumcision: In Christ, we have circumcision of the heart.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We will inherit as children of Abraham. Moses and the stone tablets: In Christ:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God has written His laws on our hearts. We can become God's treasured possession.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A kingdom of priests and a holy nation. This is so beautiful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Each covenant adds another part to the picture of what we have in Christ.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now, I’ll talk about some things in the New Testament.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
After that, we’ll return to the Old Testament. Hebrews 9: “But when Christ came

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as high priest of the good things that are now already here,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Christ came as high priest and went 
through a greater, more perfect tabernacle

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“that is not made with human hands, that 
is to say, is not a part of this creation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves;

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but he entered into the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
thus obtaining eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes…”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
could only clean people on the outside. All the things we have read about:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Moses, the tabernacle, the priestly garments, the high priest and the Sabbath.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These are all pictures and shadows of a new reality that is in Christ.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He who went through the real tabernacle 
in heaven. We read here: “How much more,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that we may serve the living God!”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Offerings of goats and calves and their blood could not cleanse the conscience.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But Christ did. It's not an external thing. It's an internal thing, that is deep:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“For this reason, Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
called may receive the promised eternal inheritance - now that he has died as

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I’ll go on to explain this. “Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That was God’s command. Did the Israelites fully obey God?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No. Did they break His laws? Yes. Have you fully obeyed God? No.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Have you broken His laws? Yes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That means that if it depended on you, you wouldn’t become treasured possession.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nor a kingdom of priests. Nor a holy nation. You didn’t keep the conditions.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But Christ did. In Him, we’re forgiven. In Him, we’re grafted in.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In Him, we’re free. In Him, this belongs to us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What did Peter say to the church of Jewish and Gentile believers?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The same is true of born-again Jewish and Gentile believers today:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but now you have received mercy.” When you understand this, it’s really beautiful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The law could not do this. We all failed. We’ve all broken the law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But Christ kept it. In him, we become what God said. In Christ:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We’re God's chosen people, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We’re God's special possession. I want to 
say this: God hasn’t forgotten the Jews.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I’ll talk about the Jews, shortly. The promise is still for them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But this is our reality now, in Christ.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But not everyone in a church building, is part of the church.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Not everyone who professes a faith in God, is a child of God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Not everyone who confesses Jesus, actually
obeys Jesus. This is really important.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The promise is real. But to receive it, you need to be fully born again.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You need to live this new life. You need to be in Christ.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then, this will be your reality. Let's continue reading Hebrews:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be purified with these sacrifices”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What were the tabernacle in the wilderness, the sacrifices and the offerings?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They were copies of the heavenly things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, he wasn’t like the other priests. That earthly sanctuary was a copy, a picture.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was different. “that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We need to understand this. Let’s continue reading. Hebrews is an amazing book.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The author wrote about offerings. Then it’s written:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many;

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to those who are waiting for him.” Remember this:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
At the time of Moses, the tabernacle was temporary.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was a copy of the real heavenly one. Like everything else, it points to Christ.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This will get clearer as we continue. Now, we'll return to the events in Exodus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Moses came down the mountain. The Israelites had made a golden calf.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We read about the events beforehand: “When the people saw that Moses was so long

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Come make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.””

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then they took the gold rings off that their wives, sons, and daughters wore.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They brought them to Aaron. “He took what they handed him and made it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
into an idol cast in the shape of a calf. He shaped it with a tool. Then they said,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“This, Israel, is your god who brought you out of the land of Egypt.””

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Try to imagine the situation. God had brought them out.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now they’d made a golden calf that had no connection with Yahweh.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The LORD had brought them out. They said of the golden calf:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is Yahweh who brought us out. They called it by His name:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Tomorrow there will be a festival to the LORD.” to Yahweh.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They worshipped Him, in the form of a golden calf.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then the people sat down to eat and drink, and then they got up to play.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
People do this today. We call an idol using God’s name. But He's not the same.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's scary. I could take ten Christians in a line and ask them to say who God is.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In some cases, they’ll have weird ideas. They are not serving the same god.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Not the God who brought the people out of Egypt.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They’ve made an image of a god in their minds, that suits them:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Oh, no, my God isn’t like that. He’s like this” “Then the LORD said to Moses,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
have become corrupt. They have been quick to turn away from what

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“This, Israel, is your god who brought you out of the land of Egypt.””

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, God sees everything. He saw exactly what they were doing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“I have seen these people,” the LORD said to Moses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“and they are a stiff-necked people.” Notice what He said here:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Now leave me alone so that my anger may 
burn against them that I may destroy them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then I will make you into a great nation.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When this happened, God wanted to destroy Israel, those he saved out of Egypt.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They’d slaughtered the Passover lambs. He’d passed over their houses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They’d went through the Red Sea. A few weeks later, He was ready to destroy them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But He wouldn’t destroy all of them. Why? Because He’d made a promise to Abraham.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He'll keep that – to make Abraham into a great nation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But whom will He keep the promise with? He wanted to destroy the Israelites.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then He said, “I will make you, Moses, into a great nation.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It’s important to understand this: God gave a promise to Abraham. He'll keep it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God is a promise keeper. But with whom? With Abraham’s descendants.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But not every descendant of Abraham is a child of Abraham, in that sense.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here, He was ready to destroy everyone and then keep His promise with Moses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God is faithful and will do everything He has said. But the question is:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Are you part of that or not? Are we part of what God wants to do?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God will do what He’s promised to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David and Jesus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But the question is, are we a part of that? Let's learn from this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let’s have a healthy fear of God in our lives, so we won't be cut off.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Many Israelites were cut off when these events happened. Moses interceded:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“But Moses sought the favour of the LORD his God. “LORD,” he said,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“why should your anger burn against your people, whom you brought out of Egypt

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with great power and a mighty hand? Why should the Egyptians say,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“It was with evil intent that he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and to wipe them off the face of the earth”? Turn from your fierce anger; relent

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and do not bring disaster on your people.”
Moses interceded “Remember your servants

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
your descendants all this land I promised them… Then the Lord relented

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Reading how Moses interceded, reminds us of something:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wickedness was all over the earth but Noah found favour.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God wanted to destroy the Israelites but Moses interceded.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The whole world will be destroyed, but Christ can save us from that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is a picture of Christ, who stood in the gap for us. It's really beautiful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Moses intercedes and later went down from the mountain:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them into pieces…”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He also destroyed the golden calf. Joshua was also there. We read:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“that day about three thousand of the people died.” This is interesting.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What is the clear message here?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As soon as the Old Covenant law was given, 3,000 people died.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As soon as the New Covenant Spirit was given, 3,000 received new life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is all connected. This all points to Christ. Exodus 32:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin.””

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
By this time, around 3,000 people had been killed. Moses said to the rest:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“You have committed a great sin. But now I will go up to the LORD;

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So Moses went back to the LORD and said, “Oh, what a great sin

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But now, please forgive their sin”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then Moses interceded in an amazing and beautiful way: “but if not,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
then blot me out of the book you have written.” Moses really stood in the gap.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He said, “Either forgive them or blot me out of the book.” What a man! “The LORD

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book.””

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now, we read about the book of life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Books will be opened at the great judgment, at the great judgment seat:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
At the end of Revelation. I’ll talk about these books later in this series.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's possible to be blotted out of the book of life. People say today:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“If your name is written in the book of life, everything is fine.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That’s true if your name is there and remains there. But what is very clear here?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That a person can be blotted out of God's book. Then God said to Moses: “Now go,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So about 3,000 people died right away. In 
Lesson 3 (‘Called-out’), I explained this:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The sinful generation didn’t enter the promised land, but later punished.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's a very clear picture of our salvation journey. Someone commented on Lesson 3

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(‘Called-out’): “Yeah, but you can’t use the example of the promised land.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There were giants in the promised land.” Yeah, we can use that example.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What will happen when Jesus sets up God’s kingdom on earth?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He will need to deal with some things at the beginning. We’ll take the land.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
People will submit under Jesus’ Lordship and rule. All will bow down at His feet.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But there’ll be a time of judgment. The righteousness will bring peace on earth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It'll be cleaned up. It won’t just happen, from one day to another.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Those of us who are there, will receive heavenly bodies and rule with him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There’ll be a time of cleaning up. Giants 
in the land is a really good picture.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Other good pictures are possessing, taking and subduing the land.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I’ll talk about the promised land in a later lesson.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But the Israelites didn’t enter in, because of disobedience. God is very serious.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sometimes, judgment come right away and sometimes it’s delayed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This should really create a fear of God in our lives, a healthy fear of God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
After this God called Moses up the mountain again. “The LORD said to Moses,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Cut out for yourself two stone tablets like the first ones, and I’ll write on

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the tablets the words which were on the first tablets which you broke.””

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So there were two sets of tablets. The first set of tablets were destroyed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then God called Moses up again and said, “Cut out two new tablets.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I will write the same on them.” This is very interesting.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God wrote on the first tablets. Later, Moses made new ones. God wrote on those.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This points forward to God writing His law on new tablets.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He is writing His law on our hearts, not with written code on stone tablets.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He is writing on our hearts by His Spirit. This is all about the gospel.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It points to Christ, to the time we are living in and to God’s kingdom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Many years after Moses, Jeremiah prophesied this: “The days are coming,”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
declares the LORD, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and with the people of Judah. It will not be like the covenant”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, it’s not just a continuation of the Mosaic covenant. It’s different:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
by the hand to lead them out of Egypt.” Why will it be different? “because

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them,” declares the LORD.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, it’s a New Covenant. They broke the other one.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“This is the covenant I'll make with the people of Israel” With Israel the nation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now, we’re grafted in and have received it in Christ. I’ll talk about it later.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“After that time,” declares the LORD. “I'll put my law in their minds and write it”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on stone tablets? No, He’d already done that and it hadn’t worked.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The law, written externally, brought death. It didn't work.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You cannot obey a law as an external written code.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's to be written on the heart. Or it won't work: “write it on their hearts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'll be their God, and they'll be my people. No longer will they teach

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
their neighbour, or say to one another, “Know the LORD””

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We don’t need a human priest in order to have a relationship with God: "because

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the LORD.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ezekiel prophesied similar things around the same time. He added some things:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“I will give them an undivided HEART and put a new spirit in them;”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, we read about God writing the law on our hearts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We read about an undivided heart and a new spirit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“I will remove from them their heart of stone”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- God won’t write His law on a heart of stone. He will remove that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He'll then write on a new heart by the Spirit - “and give them a heart of flesh.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is not a license for us to sin: “Then they will follow my decrees and be

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God writes His laws on our hearts, so that we can obey Him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Not so we can continue sinning. He did it, so we can be holy as our Father is holy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now you may kiss your bride.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now you can enter into a covenant and be one flesh in a marriage.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can’t do that if your heart is not transformed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It has to come from your heart, not from an external law: “You may not….”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No, we need a changed heart. We’ll look at that later.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have some more slides here before we shortly have a break.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I want to talk more here about Israel as a nation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The fact is, the law of Moses was never actually given to Gentiles.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was given to Israel as a nation. These are not laws for me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They were for Israel as a nation. But in Christ, I am grafted into the promise.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I am not part of the physical nation of Israel.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I have been grafted into the promise in a spiritual sense.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I talked about in previous lessons. So now, we’re a holy people. We’re called out.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We’re God's possession. But that doesn’t mean that God has rejected Israel.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I want to talk about that before we continue. Romans 11:25-29 is very important.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Paul writes: “Brothers and sisters, here is a mystery I want you to understand.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It'll keep you from being proud.” But many people have rejected the Jews.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They’re very proud: “We’re now the people of God. I am a holy nation.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But it's only because of Christ that you are. So please don't be proud.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Remember this: “Part of Israel” not all of
Israel. There are people who love Jesus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They are born again and follow the Messiah Jesus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Part of Israel has refused to obey God.” We see this today.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“That will continue until the full number of non-Jews has entered God's kingdom.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, at the moment they still reject God as a whole.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This will continue until we as Gentiles have come in.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This will create jealousy and so on. “And so all Israel will be saved.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There’s a hardness right now. But there’ll be a time when all Israel will be saved.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“It is written, “The One who saves will come from Mount Zion.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He will remove sin from Jacob.” God has said that. He’ll do it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Here is my covenant with them. I will take away their sins.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, this covenant has been given to the Jews. This is for our good:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“As far as the gospel is concerned, the people of Israel are enemies.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So many of the Jews are enemies. They're not in the New Covenant.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God’s laws are not yet written on their hearts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They haven’t received the spirit, nor are obeying God's laws as a whole. What is that?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They’re enemies according to the gospel. “But as far as God's choice is concerned,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the people of Israel are loved.” They’re still called.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“That is because of God's promises to the founders of our nation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God does not take back his gifts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He does not change his mind about those he has chosen.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, the nation of Israel is still chosen and called.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God’ll establish a new covenant with them, in their hearts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But right now, this belongs to us. Each one of us can receive it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A new covenant where the law is written on the heart. I will be their God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They'll be my people. Then they'll follow 
my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All will know me and I will remember their sins no more.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We’re talking here about following God’s law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, should we go back and do everything God spoke to Israel as a nation? No.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That law was given to Israel as a nation. I'm not a Jew and never have been.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm a Gentile. But I'm following Christ and His word.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We need to understand that there is a change in the law. Hebrews 7:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We read here that Jesus is in the priestly order of Melchizedek.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There is a change in the priesthood. Please read it yourself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because of this change, we’re not bound to the written code given to Moses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Instead, we’re bound to the law of Christ.
The law of God's written on our hearts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let’s read a few verses from Romans. There’ll be a break shortly.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That was the Pharisees’ problem. Jesus said this to them: “Woe to you,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and then the outside also will be clean.” Our hearts need to be transformed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The law is not written on books or tablets, but on the heart.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Of course, we have a physical Bible. God is speaking to us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But we are loosed from the law of Moses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I’ll talk more about that after the break and read more of Romans 6 and 7.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In Romans 7, we read: “But now, by dying to what once bound us (the law),

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and not in the old way of the written code.” We’ve been released from the law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now we can serve in a new way. The covenant with Moses was everlasting.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
However, it has changed (in Christ). It's not written on stone tablets.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It’s being written on our hearts, not as a written code. The new way of the Spirit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
From law to grace. From death to life. I’ll talk more about that after the break.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's extremely important. I believe that this will set you free.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You’ll understand that you don't need to be under the law anymore.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can be under grace. You can walk in freedom and listen to the Spirit in you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So let's take a break here [Music] We’re back again. This’ll be very interesting.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I hope you're ready for this. We’ll continue in Romans. We see the cross here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I already talked about it in Romans 6. But we’ll read it again.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Bear in mind the law given with Moses: “Don’t touch this. Don’t eat that food etc.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Romans 6: “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
were baptized into his death?” So, a death takes place when we are baptized.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We’re baptized into Christ’s death. Death is important. Bear that in mind.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we too may live a new life.” We’re baptized into His death. That’s important. Why?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because we’re only bound to a law, as long as you live.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But when we die, we’re loosed from that law. Romans 6 and 7 focus on that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Because anyone who had died has been set free from sin.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But this is not only about sin. The law is connected with sin.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here’s something important. Romans 7: “Do you not know, brothers and sisters

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- for I am speaking to those who know the law - that the law has authority

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
over someone only as long as that person lives? For example, by law a married woman

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
released from the law that binds her to him.” Why does Paul write about this?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Romans 6 - 8 is about the new life and freedom from the law of sin and death.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Paul not only teaches about marriage and divorce, but also about the law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It’s an example to show this: We’re bound to the law as long as we live.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But we can read beforehand that we're baptized into Christ, into His death.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The baptism is a death. The law was never given to me as a Gentile.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm not physically part of Israel. I was without hope in this world.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was lost without hope and without God. But the law is also spiritual.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In that sense, it’s working in everyone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When we start to sin, you become a slave to that sin.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The law is at work in a way we don’t realise.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
To take an example, imagine that you’re going to stay at someone’s house.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The person says, “Hey, you can stay at my house. Here's the kitchen.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just take some breakfast in the morning. Here are all the things you can take.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can eat anything you want. But you’re not allowed to open this closet.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It’s very important that you don’t open it.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If someone tells you not to do something, what happens?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You’ll think, “Why can’t I open that closet?”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When we’re told not to do something, something happens inside us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For example, imagine a man going to a Walmart.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Before he goes in, he repeats to himself, “Don’t look with lust on a woman”.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What will happen? He’ll go in and continue thinking of that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the end, he’ll look at a woman. It doesn’t work. That law doesn't bring freedom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But Christ brings freedom. If we’re bound to the law of sin and death, it works in us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We’re bound to that law as long as we live. That's why we need to die.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Read Romans 6 about dying to the law. We’re dead to the law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're not under the law. We are freed or loosed from the law. We read here:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“For sin shall no longer be your master” Sin won’t have authority over us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Why not? Because the law only has authority over a person as long as he lives.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But in baptism, we die. It's no longer we who live, but Christ.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So the law of sin and death has no authority over me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“For sin shall no longer be your master” Why not?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“because you are not under the law” You’re dead to the law “but under grace”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, the law came with Moses. Grace and truth came with Christ.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Many people try to follow Christ by trying to keep the law of Moses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They don’t realise that they’ve been loosed from that law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's when they were baptized into Christ. They entered into a new covenant.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It’s not about the written code written on stones, what's written on your heart.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That’s where true freedom is. Let’s continue: Under the law, sin was our master.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Under grace, you're baptized into Christ. You’re dead to the law and alive in Christ.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You’re free from the law and the sin that once kept you enslaved.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you’re a slave to sin, you’re still not under grace.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Remember that true grace is not a cover up for sin.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
True Grace empowers us to live a new life, free from sin.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can still be a Christian and have your mind set on Egypt.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That’s because you’ve never really left.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's time to leave and live a new life by the Spirit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I’m saying here that many Christians are still under the law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They’re still trying to obey the law instead of living by the spirit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They’re not living the new way of the spirit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Their minds are still set on the old ways of Egypt. They’re never really left.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They haven’t experienced the freedom, where the law's truly written on their hearts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The ministry we bring, should set people free.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Paul wrote about this ministry we’ve been given. 2 Corinthians 3:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“You show that you're a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but on tablets of human hearts.” So our ministry's so different from the law of Moses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That was the old covenant written on stones. Now, we have a new ministry.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A new way. God’s laws are written on the human heart by the spirit of the Living God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Paul continues: “Now if the ministry that brought death”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What happened when the law of Moses was given? 3,000 died right away.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That ministry brought death “which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that the Israelites could not look 
steadily at the face of Moses

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not this ministry of the Spirit

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
be even more glorious?” Of course. “If
the ministry that brought condemnation”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
bringing death and condemnation “was 
glorious, how much more glorious is

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the ministry that brings righteousness!”
We have the ministry of the new covenant.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This doesn't bring condemnation. It can truly cleanse our conscience.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It can bring righteousness. Then we’re free, not to live in condemnation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We’re free from the law, free to live by the spirit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You need to receive this through the new birth, by faith.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm going to share a personal testimony and experience shortly:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. We are not like Moses,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of what was passing away.” So, the law of Moses was passing away.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Moses’ face was veiled, so the Israelites 
wouldn’t see it. "But their minds were

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Also today when people read about Moses and the old Covenant,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
there’s a veil over their faces. So, they don’t understand it:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Many read the law in the Bible. They have
a blindness. They don’t understand it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Only in Christ, is the blindness taken away. Some people have a fear.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They say: “We need law. If we don’t, people will live in sin.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But what happened with the law? Did the law help people to live holy lives?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Did the Israelites live holy lives because they had the law? No.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But God gave a new spirit and wrote a new law in our hearts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, we’ll obey God's decree and follow His laws. How do we live that holy life?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Not by following Moses, but by following Christ by the spirit. Paul continues:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Freedom. You need to receive this by the Spirit. Here's some examples.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I heard the gospel for the first time from my friend Tommy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I told him, he was brainwashed. I couldn't
see it. I said, he was brainwashed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was wrong. He was in a cult. He should be careful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I thought that he was crazy and brainwashed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I thought that I needed to help him and save him out of that cult. I didn't see it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A few days later, I got born again. My eyes opened. The veil was taken away.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then my father told me, “Torben, you’re brainwashed. It’s a cult.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My father couldn’t see it. Why? Because he still had a a veil over his face.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He couldn’t see it. I told him, “Father, you’re saying what I said to Tommy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But it's the truth. I see it now.” Before I was blinded, like my father was blinded.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But some years later, he repented. Then he saw it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This happens when someone truly repents and is born again. Their eyes open.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
However, my mind was still set on Egypt for the first years of my Christian life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I did not understand that I had buried the old life in the baptism.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That I had died to the law of sin and death, and wasn’t bound to it anymore.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was free from sin. I didn't need to be a slave anymore.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
During the first six years of my Christian life, I was repenting.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The law was written on my heart. I had received a new spirit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Many things in my life changed. But in some areas, I was not free.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I kept falling into the same sins. I felt, I was becoming a slave of sin again.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was not free. Then one day I read Romans 6. I really understood it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God revealed it to me by the Spirit: “Hey, I'm dead to the law! I'm free!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't need to sin anymore! The law is spiritual!”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, this broke down something wrong inside me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I realised, I wasn’t not under the law of sin and death anymore.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm free to follow Christ. This gave me a totally new freedom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've been free ever since for many years. It doesn't mean that I'm sinless.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We can still do wrong things. But then we feel convicted right away.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We ask God for forgiveness. He’s faithful to forgive us. Then we move on.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I'm not bound. I don’t ask for forgiveness, and repeat the sin 2 weeks later.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don’t feel like a slave to sin. No. I feel free. I'm not focused on the law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm don’t do into a mall, tell myself repeatedly, “Don't look at woman” and fail.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm free to go into the mall. I focus on Christ. I don’t think like this:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Don't touch! Don't watch! Don't do this or that!” I'm free to follow Christ.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You need a revelation so you can really experience that freedom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then you can love Jesus, walk by the spirit and occasionally do something wrong.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't have the ten commandments written in my phone or on a poster.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Why not? Because I'm not under the law. It's written in my heart.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm following Christ and obeying His words. I read His words.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But if I do, say or think something wrong, I feel it right away: “Oh, I know it.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No one needs to teach me to know the Lord and to do different things. I know Him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I feel it in my heart. Why? Because the law’s written on my heart. I get convicted.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
From this perspective, the Christian life is actually really easy:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Don't follow the law of Moses. Listen to Christ and obey His word.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Listen to the Spirit, God has given you. Follow the Holy Spirit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If Holy Spirit says, “Don't say that. Don't look at that. Don’t look at this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Don’t look at that” then stop doing it. Listen to the Spirit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let the Spirit guide you through the wilderness toward the promised land.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let the Holy Spirit guide you. God speaks to us about different things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We really need to follow God and live in that freedom. 1 Corinthians:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What happened when the law was given on Mount Sinai? 3,000 were killed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What happened when the Spirit was given on Pentecost in Jerusalem?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Three thousand received new life. The letter kills but the Spirit gives life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We read that in Acts 2: “Those who accepted the message were baptized,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and about three thousand were added to their number that day.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When did that happen? On Pentecost, Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
At that time, Israelites from all over Israel came to Jerusalem to celebrate what?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The giving of the law. It happened on that day, not a week or month before.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, when we read about Moses and the law, we read about temporary things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These are just pictures that point to Christ and the New Covenant.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Today, we are under the New Covenant.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sadly, many people today are more interested in following the law than the Spirit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They don't have the Spirit. So, they follow the law. You need to be born again.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You need the Holy Spirit. It must come from your heart. Walking by the Spirit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Live a life with a clean conscience.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you step out of God's plan, you’ll feel it in your heart.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then you must return to the narrow road.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But if you stop listening to the Spirit and go into the law, you’ll become bound.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You’ll walk away from Christ and the road that leads to righteousness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've seen so many people start in the spirit but end in the flesh, under the law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We are loosed from the law. I don't keep the Sabbath. People tell me,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“You need to keep the Sabbath.” They only read some of the verses.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What did God say? Keep the Sabbath. Have one day of rest per week.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No, he also told them to work six days.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But most people I know who are eager to keep Sabbath, don’t work six days.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They work five days. Why do they do that? How can people say,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Oh, we keep the Sabbath. This is our Sabbath” if they only work five days?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God didn’t say that. He told them to work six days and take one day off.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This law was never given to Gentile. It was given to the Israelites.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This doesn’t mean, I can’t learn from it. It is important. I do some things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sometimes the Holy Spirit tells me to rest one day. I have a day that I take off.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't work seven days and then start a new week of seven days. We need rest.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But this is not because of the Mosaic law. It’s not an obligation or a law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It’s nothing to do with righteousness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It just shows us that God want us also to rest and take time with him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Don't be too busy. We need to understand this rightly.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But some people are so fixed on keeping the Mosaic law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But the Sabbath law said that people shouldn’t light a fire on that day.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Do you do that? At that time, they lit fires using wood.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Do you turn on the oven on the Sabbath?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you start going down that road, you’ll suddenly become bound.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you keep a little of the law, you’re obligated to keep it all.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Christ kept it for us, to set us free from the law: Not that we could live in sin.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was so we could walk by the Spirit in freedom. Listen to this. Romans 2:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, if we sin apart from the law we’ll perish apart from the law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If we sin under the law, we’ll be judged by the law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This refers to Jews and Gentiles.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law” as the law wasn’t given to us

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“do by nature the things required by the law, they are a law for themselves,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even though they do not have the law.)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How do we obey the law?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Love God with all your heart and love your
neighbour as yourself. What is the law?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What is the heart of the law? “written on their hearts,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
accusing them and at other times even defending them.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is extremely important. Gentiles are not under the law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was never given to them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We’ll still be judged even if we’re not under the law - if we live in sin.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But those Gentiles who are born again, have the Christ's law written on the heart.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They have a conscience. The conscience bears witness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sometimes our thoughts accuse us and other times they defend us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm free. I'm free to eat things. I don’t think about the Sabbath.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I was born again, the law was written on my heart.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have never felt when I make food on a Sabbath (or a Saturday): “I can’t do this.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I’ve never felt that I can’t do a kickstart or training on that day.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I’ve never felt condemned in that area. It's not written on my heart. It’s the same with head coverings. We need to understand the context. I’ll talk about that later. I've never met anyone who had just received the Holy Spirit and God’s love, who then said: “The Holy Spirit shows me that I need to cover my head. I can’t work on the Sabbath. I have to do this. I can’t play cards. I have to wear a long dress.” I never met someone who said that that is written on their heart. But then people read the law and get confused: “Oh no! I need to do this and that.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Condemnation comes. Then they try to keep the law. This leads them away from the pure and narrow road in Christ. They try to do this, not to do that, not to eat that and all the rest. But I have been convicted in my heart many times when I said, did or looked at something wrong. For example, after I got born again, I slept with my girlfriend. I felt so condemned: What have I done? Red light, red light, sin, sin, sin! I knew it was sin. I did not need to read it in the Bible. I hadn’t read that yet, but it was written on my heart.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This happens with so many other things. For example, if I say something wrong or reply in anger, I feel condemned. It happened once when I was in jail. You can read my book, if you haven’t already. There was a nasty guard in jail, who was not nice. They came in and checked us, when we were sitting in there. They scanned our card for their records. For a long time, we’d been allowed to leave some food to eat later.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But he suddenly changed all the rules and they took all our food away. He was nasty. I remember sitting there in my cell. He opened my cell and came in. He wanted to scan my card. He had just taken some food away or something like that. I felt irritated. He said, “Give me your card” [Showing irritation] “Here” He said, “Don't be so nasty.” I just took the card out of his hand. I was just irritated. Then he moved on. As soon as I reacted like that, I felt that it was wrong of me. I asked God to forgive me for reacting like that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have many examples like that. It’s because of my conscience. But other times, I stand up, preach and do things. Then my conscience bears witness that all is good. But other times, I feel that I shouldn’t have done something. I've seen that happening with other people. When anyone is at the start of their new life, they have a clean conscience. The Holy Spirit teaches, helps and purifies them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But then I see them suddenly turning away from that, going under the law. They start trying to keep the rules and guidelines, and get confused. That doesn’t lead to holiness. Suddenly they feel condemned, whereas before they did not: “Oh, I cannot drive. I cannot wear a dress. I have to cover my head. I cannot do this or that.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They start to feel condemned all the time. Why? Because they're going back under the law, instead of knowing that they are in a New Covenant. They are free from the law. I want to do a Q&A video very soon. I know that many people are asking questions about this topic. Please come with your questions. I'll do a Q&A video. Lesson 6 will be about Hagar and Sarah. I’ll talk much more about the spirit, the flesh, the law, grace and freedom etc. I’ll go over all of this, because it’s new for many of you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You’re saying, “Torben, what are you saying? Are you saying that we don't need to obey the law of Moses?” Yes, I am. “Are you saying that we’re just free to live the way we want to?” No, I'm not. You're free to walk by the spirit. You’re free to listen to your conscience. Keep your conscience clean, above all things. If your conscience starts to condemn you, do something about it. But don’t do it in your own strength. Ask God to give you a revelation of who you are in Christ. Listen to these verses in 1 John.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This lesson is almost finished. But this is important: “Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him” That is our hope. We’re invited to a wedding. We, the bride, need to purify ourselves “purify themselves, just as he is pure. Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning.” That is the secret. Live in Christ. “No one who lives in him keeps on sinning.” This doesn’t mean that we can never sin. But we are not to keep on sinning. That’s not how we live. “No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.” Many people who sit in church buildings, don’t really know Him - they keep on sinning.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous” It's not so much about what we believe, but what we do “just as he is righteous. The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them;” God’s law is written on our hearts.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
His seed is the Spirit we’ve now received, the word of God. “they cannot go on sinning because they have been born of God.” It's not about praying the sinner's prayer. It's about the new birth. “This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are:” The way we live. “Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, let’s close this lesson. What do we need to do? Repent and be baptized, and receive the Holy Spirit. Then: Know that you are free from the law of sin and death. Pray. Ask God to reveal this truth to you. You need to live it by faith. It’s a revelation. I am free. Yes. I don't need to sin anymore. You are dead to the law. You are free. Know that you are free from the law of sin and death that once bound and enslaved you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Believe it. Understand that Christ has set you free. Now walk by the Spirit in a new life. Paul wrote so clearly about the law: “Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.” Now, he wrote something interesting here: “To the Jews, I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law, I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law)” Paul wrote that he became like them when he was with them. He became like them to win them. But he wasn’t under the law. Me, neither. I'm not under the law. I'm free from the law.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You're free from the law. We are free from the law. Why? Because we’re dead to the law. The law bound us as long we lived. But it's no longer I who live, it’s Christ who lives. I'm dead to the law. What does that mean, to not be under the law? Are we without law? No. Paul continues: “To those not having the law, I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ’s law)” Paul wrote in one place that he wasn’t under the law. In another place, he said he wasn’t free from God's law, but under Christ’s law. What does that mean? We're not under the law of sin and death, that Moses brought.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But we’re under the law of Christ. What is that? That is to listen to Him and His word. Law is not only written commandments written in the Bible. It is what Jesus said. Read what Jesus said. Did he say, “If you love me, keep what Moses said.” No, He didn’t say that. He said “If you love me, keep my commands…” Some people are very eager to keep the Mosaic law, including the feasts, the food laws, the Sabbath and the dress. But they are not eager to keep Jesus’ law: Love your neighbour as yourself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Go out and make disciples. Preach the gospel. Obey Christ. “If you love me, keep my commands.” Jesus said. I need to finish the lesson here: “So the law” with Moses “was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.” We're now in faith “So in Christ Jesus, you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” We can say it like this: You are baptized into Christ’s death.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Therefore, you're no longer bound to the law. You don't need a guardian anymore. You are now in Christ. “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free… If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed”. So, I’ll finish the lesson now. Old Covenant (Moses): Until Christ. Law on stone tablets. Written code. Brought death. Could not obey the old way. God rejected the whole generation. Did not inherit the Promised Land but Joshua brought the next generation in. Joshua’s and Jesus’ names are directly related.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Moses could not bring them into the promised land but Joshua did. The law cannot bring you into the kingdom of God but Jesus can. The law is good if we use it the right way, to reveal sin so we can come to Christ. But in baptism, we die to the law. New Covenant (Jesus): Everlasting covenant. Law is written on hearts of flesh. New way by the Spirit. Brought life. Can now obey in the new way. We’ll one day enter into the Promised Land if we are victorious and continue in Christ. Jesus fulfilled the law’s requirements. We are now: God's treasured possession. A kingdom of priests. A holy nation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But it's not complete yet. We will be those things one day when he comes. Then we’ll rule with Him here on earth. A few more verses: “Therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus… because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set us free from the law and sin and death.” When you’re in Christ, you are under the law of the spirit written on your heart.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You’re set free from the law of sin and death. “For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did 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 requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” So, get born again. Live by the spirit. Listen to the Holy Spirit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When your heart condemns you, repent. Don't try to live by the law of Moses and go under the law. That’ll bring condemnation and death. Live in the New Covenant, by the Spirit. Obey Jesus. If you love Him, keep His commands and you will live. I’ll pray for you. God, I thank You for everyone who’s seen this. I pray that this will bring freedom to them. Freedom from the law. Freedom to live a holy life as You are holy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Freedom to live by the Spirit. I pray that everyone will understand this: When we are baptized, Jesus, we are baptized into Your death. It's no longer I who live, but it's You who lives. A woman is only bound to the law, as long as that person is alive. But when we die, we’re loosed from that law and free to be married to somebody else. Christ Jesus is our bridegroom. Help us to purify ourselves. Purify us by the Spirit. Help us to walk by the Spirit, without condemnation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then, one day, Jesus, we’ll inherit this earth together with You. Thank You for what You're doing. I pray that it will bring freedom to people. Come and speak to people out there through this. In the name of Jesus, Amen. See you next time. Come with your questions. I'll do a Q&A video soon where I will answer some of them. God bless you. Let's live the new life by the Spirit that God has for all of us. Bye bye.
