03 The Killer’s Gospel

So we're going to be studying this evening and I'm just privileged to be able to do this with you guys.

Today's actually been a very interesting and tough day for for me personally A friend of mine passed away today around 02:00 was 1 of my students and not just 1 of my students actually 1 became 1 of my friends and we went through quite a bit together and yeah today, has been very interesting and I had to wrestle with a couple of things because I don't know if when you deal with death you know we weren't designed to really understand death because we were built to live forever okay and God designed us he designed us to live forever so to understand death to cope with death that's not something God really wanted us to understand.

But in my mind, I was comforted with the idea that my friend had committed himself to God.

And knowing that, I can rest assured that as I'm faithful and God is faithful to me, I will see my brother again very, very soon.

I'm reminded of a quote where it says, it's a solemn thing to die, but a much more solemn thing to live.

And I think in the times in which we live, we're living in tremendous, tremendous times.

And so tonight, as I'm studying with you, I want you to take principles away that will empower you to live a life full of vitality for God.

And I know that we all go through struggles.

I know we all go through our own pains, But I believe tonight as we walk through this thing, I believe many of us are gonna find some healing.

I know for me, as I was preparing for it, I began to see some healing in my own heart.

So I'm grateful to God that he would allow for us to be able to study and come together this evening.

Now I don't know about you but I don't like fighting.

I mean they've made a whole career out of fighting And I'm going to show you how to fight as a Christian tonight in a way that you may or may not already know.

It's not even verbal spats about political agendas, or the left versus the right, or my church against your church.

If you don't mind, you have your Bibles, open them to 2nd Corinthians 10, and we're going to read verse 3, 4, and 5.

2 Corinthians chapter 10, we're going to read verses 3, 4, and 5.

We're defying the fight and then we're going to go to an Old Testament story that you should be very familiar with.

I won't spend every detail of going through every point, but I want to make sure we get to the main thing for tonight.

Second Corinthians Chapter 10, in verse 3, the Bible says, for though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.

For the weapons of our warfare are not, what's it say my friends?

Are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

So our warfare, our fight is not a carnal fight.

Our warfare, our fight is not a political battle.

Our warfare, our fight is not somewhere in a ring, my friends.

In fact, I'll tell you this, our fight is not even with our spouse, it's not even with our roommates, our war, our fight, more so than anything else, you'll find that it's with yourself.

But before we go any further with that, let's go to an old story.

It's gonna be a story that you're very familiar with.

I know people have talked about it even recently in 1 of these beautiful Bible studies, but I want to make sure we go back and pay attention.

I want us to look at Genesis Chapter 25, and we're looking at verse 19.

Now, normally I don't have a little small words on the screen like this, but For purposes for tonight, I didn't want to be flipping too many pages per se, but let's just walk through what we have here.

Reading Genesis Chapter 25, verse 19, it says, and these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son, Abraham begat Isaac.

Isaac was 40 years old when he took Rebecca to wife, the daughter of Bethuel, the Syrian of Padduram, the sister to Laban, the Syrian.

There's an entreatment, God is now interceding for his wife because she was barren and the Lord was entreated of him.

And Rebecca, his wife conceived, now pay attention.

She conceived and the children struggled together within her.

So this struggle that these children are having is from the very womb, brothers and sisters.

And she said, if this be so, why am I thus?

And Notice what she does when she doesn't understand what's going on.

She goes to the Lord and the Bible says, and she went to inquire of the Lord.

The Lord said unto her, 2 nations are in thy womb.

2 manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels, And the 1 people shall be stronger than the other.

The 1 people shall be stronger than the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.

Now, please note, as Rebecca is listening to the words of the Lord, and she's imbibing these words into her mind, she's taking note of what God has promised and has declared.

God has declared to her that the oldest will serve the younger.

Oh, 0, before I go with that, go back for a second.

Do you notice that God did not tell this to Isaac?

Now I'm not saying Rebecca didn't tell her husband.

I'm just saying that this special insight was given to the mother and not necessarily directly to Isaac.

All right, I just found that to be interesting.

It says in verse chapter 25, verse 4, and when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, Behold, there were twins in her womb.

And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment.

Now, again, when you're looking at the word Esau or Edom, it just simply means red.

There's a red haired child with a lot of hair.

Verse 26, and after that came his brother out and his hand took hold on Esau's heel and his name was called Jacob.

Now please there are always these names relevancy to these things.

Now when when I say a name I want you to type it in the chat.

If you could type it in the chat or if you're on Facebook, I wanna see what you say about this.

When I say the name, Michael Jordan, what comes to your mind?

Is he the second best player in the world?

He's the greatest basketball player in the world.

When I say Michael Jordan, what comes to your mind?

So type in the chat, I wanna see what you have to say.

When I say the name, now this is California.

So when I say Kobe Bryant, what do you think?

So when I say a name, a character comes to mind.

If I said, and forgive me for bringing up this name on Sabbath, but even if I said Kim Kardashian, you immediately a person comes to mind, a character trait comes to mind when I say the name, are you following?

All right, so when I say the name Jacob, Jacob means heel grabber or supplanter.
