1THE LORD’S CHRIST

[Recorded 12/23/07]

God is good, isn’t he! Do you all feel the anointing? Whew!!! Hallelujah.
Would you turn to the book of Revelation please. It’s time to get a revelation
- an impartation and a manifestation! Revelation 12:1, would you start with
me. Now a great sign appeared in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun,
with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars;
then being with child she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. And
another sign appeared in heaven, behold a great fiery red dragon, having
seven heads and ten horns and seven diadems on his heads. His tail drew a
third of the stars of heaven, and threw them to the earth: and the dragon
stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her child as
soon as it was born. She bore a male child, who was to rule all nations with a
rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and his throne. And the
woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that
they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. Now I
want to share a couple of things quickly about this— because the woman is
also a representation of Israel. The book of Revelation speaks about things
that were, that are, and that are to come. In fact, this whole bible speaks
about things that were, that are, and that are to come. But you have to
discern, by the Spirit of God that he has given you, what period of time he is
speaking— does everybody understand that? Because God’s word is eternal.
Always was and always will be. Now the Holy Spirit will bring you direction in
what part of time, or sequence, he is speaking. Is everybody with me? The
reason why I brought this up is I want you to understand that, even though in
the world right now everybody is celebrating the coming of the Christ –
amen? – that there is a fight going on. Not only is there a war in heaven but
there is a war in the natural realm, because whatever war is going on in
heaven, it is manifesting in the natural realm. Amen. And in this, because
you and I are celebrating the birth of Christ— the coming of the Anointed
One and his anointing— there is a fight going on, isn’t there. Do you think
the devil and all of hell is celebrating the birth of Christ? Why? They lost
that battle, didn’t they. They lost that battle, didn’t they! In fact, the bible
says if satan and his kingdom would have known about killing Jesus, they
never would have done it! They would have never crucified him. So we
know that birth was a battle that was won. In other words, Jesus went the
whole way, all the way to the cross— is everybody with me? So that you and
I could be birthed. You see when he was pierced in the side, water and blood
came out. In fact, he was pierced after he died. Does everybody get it? He
had to be pierced after he died. Because life comes out of death. So he was
pierced after he died so that you and I were birthed— just like Adam, God
put him to sleep. Jesus died. In other words, he was put to sleep. And then
the rib was taken from Adam where a woman was birthed. Amen? That

Page 1 of 13
same place where Jesus was pierced is the same place where the rib was
taken from Adam and then the bride was birthed. Do you all understand
that? See the bride of Adam was birthed and the bride of Christ was birthed.
And that’s where you and I come in. Does everybody get it? Amen? So we
see that there is a battle. Now understand this, God is using you to birth
things of the Spirit, isn’t he. So do you think that there will be a battle? That
battle is in the Spirit and that battle never ceases. The devil is always going
to come against you. He does not lay dormant in the areas of attack. He
just does a new strategy. Hello. He does new strategies. He knows how to
deceive, he knows how to prevent. One of the things he tries to always do is
separate the flock. He always tries to separate the flock. See that’s why it is
so important about fellowship, isn’t it. Amen? Does everybody get it? You
all alright now? Glory to God!!! Now turn to the book of Luke. Let’s try
chapter 2. Luke 2:8, Now there were in the same country shepherds living
out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, behold an
angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around
them: and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, Do not be
afraid: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which will be to all
people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is
Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign to you; You shall find a babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was
with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. So it
was, when the angels were gone away from them into heaven, that the
shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even to Bethlehem, and see
this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us. And
they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a
manger. Now this is powerful. You have to understand something— Why did
God reveal, through his angels, to the shepherds? Why didn’t he reveal to all
men? You know— I mean— where did he go? He went to visit the what?
Shepherds. Why? Because they were the shepherds of the flock.
Understand this— the Great Shepherd had to reveal to the shepherds. See
in everything that Jesus was doing, there was always something connected in
the natural realm in representation of Him. The Great Shepherd was now
coming in to take his flock! Does everybody get that? So he revealed to the
shepherds that were in the fields and then he told them where to go. And
then they went to see the Great Shepherd. Is everybody with me? There is
something very powerful that he said. He said there is what? Peace and joy.
Two things that are important. Peace and joy to all men. And you are going
to see why he said this. Go to verse 25. And, behold, there was a man in
Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and devout,
waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it
had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death,
before he had seen the what? The Lord's Christ. Now this is important. The

Page 2 of 13
Lord’s Christ. The Anointed One and his anointing. No longer a formula or a
password pass-phrase or pass-formula about anointing. Does everybody get
it? See there was a formula they had for the anointing oil. No more about—
to use to put on people. Not that they still don’t. Amen? But this time the
anointing was coming. The anointing oil that they used in the past in the old
testament was now being fulfilled. Not only was the Shepherd coming. Not
only was the Savior coming. This was the Lord’s Christ— but now the
Anointing!!— the presence of almighty God has now penetrated all of space
and time and entered into the natural realm of his own creation. He had to
come into a human form. Amen? In fact, anointing means “rub.” So God
came to rub on his children. He came to rub on them!! You know, you rub
against God and something changes! You touch his glory, you change! You
touch his heart, you change! The anointing of God— He came so that you
and I could change into his image and likeness. Amen? Is everybody with
me? Oh, hallelujah. Now we see that it was no longer a formula or anything
associated— they were using creation that God created to make into a
formula to put on man. Amen? But this time the creator was coming to be
put on man so that they could change. Go to Romans 14. The Lord’s Christ.
And what did the angels say? Peace and joy, right. Good on earth and
peace with men. Because the Christ, the reconciler, has come. Romans
14:16, Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil. For the kingdom
of God is eating or drinking; but righteousness, and what? —peace and joy
where? Where? In the Holy Spirit. Wow! So do you understand that the
Christ has come what? To bring you power! See the only way that this can
be manifested— In other words, the kingdom of God is not manifested by
just word alone. It’s manifested by power! So the Holy Spirit— the Holy
Spirit is the only one that can manifest the power of the Christ. Does
everybody get this? Now listen, so when he came— the child came— he
died, right? But he was birthed by who? The Holy Spirit impregnated Mary.
So if you look at it, the father of Jesus was the Holy Spirit. Amen? But see
the Holy Spirit— Because the bible says God is Spirit and God birthed and
came into the natural realm but he came from the bosom— the bible says
Jesus came from the bosom of God. So God took a part of himself and put on
flesh and came into the world— God almighty came into the world and called
himself son. But see the people didn’t know him (of the old testament) as
the son of God. They knew him as the Christ, the Messiah, that would come.
They didn’t think about him being the son of God. Does everybody get that?
See they only knew about the Christ— they only knew about the one who
would come to rescue them from— and of course they believed he would be
rescuing them from the hands of the Romans. But who was behind the
Roman empire? satan. Amen? So we see now that the Holy Spirit came
upon Mary to birth the Christ. You see he just couldn’t go upon anybody and
birth the Christ. Because their had to be a price paid. And that price was the
death of Christ to be spread to everyone else. Amen? So now the Holy Spirit

Page 3 of 13
could come upon any man, to birth the Christ in them. HELLO!!!!!! Glory!!
That’s why it’s righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost— is the
kingdom of God! Hey, the kingdom of God is POWER! IT’S ANOINTING! IT’S
THE PRESENCE OF THE KING OF GLORY! IT’S THE CHRIST!!!!!!! Amen? Go
to Acts 1:8. I want you to see this. I want you to get it imparted. So if you
haven’t been baptized in the Holy Ghost yet— This may sound strange now
okay. Don’t get freaky on me. To be in Christ, you must be baptized in
Christ. I didn’t say baptism of water. The baptism of water is a
representation of remission of sin. But to be in Christ, you must be baptized
in Christ. Do you get it? Why? Because without the baptism of the Holy
Spirit, the kingdom of God is not manifested— All you can do is go around
and plant seeds of salvation. But you can’t cast out a devil, you can’t lay
hands on the sick— THE CHRIST, THE LORD’S CHRIST – MAN, THEY WERE
WAITING FOR THE CHRIST!!! They had enough of the word! They knew the
word! But the word was bringing them revelation that the Christ would
come. And they were all waiting. And they waited. And they waited. And
they waited. And they missed him. Well, they were waiting for machine
guns, automatic weapons and for Jesus to come as a warrior and kill
everybody and rescue them! But he came in love. See they got so caught
up in religion— and they thought they were better than others because they
knew the truth. But they couldn’t obey it. See they had the law!— Okay, we
carry the law now, man. We know the truth and you don’t! See but in that it
brought separation. It brought religion. They became self-righteous in the
area where they knew the law but couldn’t obey it. Then they justified why
they couldn’t. See they were waiting for the Christ and missed him. You
know that is still going on now. People receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and
Savior— but are never baptized in Christ and have no power. Hello. Acts
1:8, let’s read it. Jesus said it himself, didn’t he. That’s why John came
ahead of time and said, Listen, someone is coming— I’m telling you, the
Light, the Christ is coming. He said, I baptize you with water for remission of
sin but He is coming and he’s going to baptize you with the Christ, with fire
in the Holy Spirit! See that’s the Christ. Okay in verse 4, and being
assembled together with them, he commanded them— He did what? He
didn’t ask them, did he. He commanded them. In fact, what he was saying
was, Listen, I’m going to have to depart. I’ve been hanging with you 40 days
after my resurrection— give me ten days. Just ten more days to fulfill the
next feast, which is Pentecost— meaning pente, right —which would be 50
days from his resurrection. He said hang ten more days, I don’t care if you
order Dominos pizza— hang up in that room. Don’t budge. I’m coming. And
I’m going to send you somebody. The same Spirit that allowed me to walk in
this natural realm. The same Spirit that raised the dead. The same Spirit
that cast out devils. The same Spirit that allowed access to my father who I
had a relationship with. That same Spirit that helped me pray. That same
Spirit that brought me revelations and dreams. That same Spirit that moves

Page 4 of 13
in the gifts of the Spirit! I’m going to bring to you, just hang out there ten
days!! Now he had 500 of them. And they all went, Yeah! Yeah! Let’s do it!
Great!! Only 120 of them did. The rest of them, 380, went to the feast of
Pentecost by the traditions of men — instead of listening to the one who
created the feast. The 120 that hung out in the upper room, maaannn they
got slammed! YES!! And they were never the same! The other ones had to
fight to be changed. And then Jesus changed them by the Spirit and they
became children of the Christ! Glorious! And, being assembled together
with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait
for the promise of the Father, which he said, you have heard of me. For John
truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not
many days from now. And in verse 8 he says, But you shall receive power,
when the Holy Spirit comes upon you: and you shall be witnesses— You will
be witnesses of what? The kingdom. The Christ. Amen? You will be
witnesses! —to me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the
end of the earth. In other words, this isn’t stopping. Hello. If people would
just read that whole scripture, they might get it— that this was just not for
the apostles - or the disciples - because he said “to the end of the earth!” In
other words, I’m going— it’s flowing bro! Go to Matthew 17. The Lord’s
Christ. I keep seeing this sphere, you know all full of electricity [sound
effects]. Look, we harness electricity! They still don’t know where it came
from! But they use it. I think the Lord sneezed one day and produced
electricity. Okay, you can use that. It’s anointed! Praise God. Matthew 17.
Is everybody there. In verse 1, And after six days Jesus takes Peter, James,
and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.
And he was transfigured— He was transfigured before them. His face shone
like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Man— here he
was, the Christ! He was showing them who he was. They could barely see
him! They were like, WHOAAAA!! And his love was radiating and ripping
through them!! You know this electricity that we harness, you touch it and
you get a— bzz. But it’s not love. It’s awakening. I can tell you that. But it
can kill somebody. Amen? But this electricity, this power that comes from
Christ, is ripping love. I can tell this to you because I’ve been in it. And
when my visitation from the Lord came and I was taken in his cloud— YOW!!
That’s why Moses glowed. He had to hang out 40 days. This only took three
seconds, I was done– I was fried! Cooked! Brand new! —came out of the
Master’s oven and his love ripped right through me! Blinded me! Changed
me! He healed me! Freed me! And removed every foul, unclean thing that
was in me! It manifested right next to me. Why? Because of the anointing!
Oh, the anointing— the anointing of God and we talked about this before.
See when you abide in the anointing, you abide in the Lord and the Lord
abides in you. That’s why sometimes you just realize that something just—
you got freed from something. See the devils acknowledge the anointing
before you do. Amen? That’s why you get free. That’s why people are

Page 5 of 13
bound and miserable. Why? Because they are not abiding. The anointing is
diminishing. Or they haven’t been baptized in the Holy Ghost yet. But it’s
our responsibility to maintain that anointing, isn’t it. So here you are, I want
to introduce you to the Christ. That’s Matthew 17. He was transfigured.
Now, behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with him.
Then answered Peter, and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if
you will, let us make here three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses,
and one for Elijah. Of course, you know their carnality was saying, Let’s do
something. They wanted to try and harness this. Alright let’s make
tabernacles! Yeah let’s put them in here and we will come and see you
every once in a while! We’ll come and see you every Sunday! You know
people do that. They show up on Sundays, Christmas, Easter – they think
they have done their holy vow. And then they all go out and become
heathens or disobedient when they leave. But it freaked them out. Those
guys— John and Peter and James, they were like, Whoa! Of course, Peter
was the only one that spoke out. I think the other two were still in shock.
And he said, Let’s build a tabernacle for them. In verse 5 – it says, While he
was still speaking— He was interrupted. Thank God. Behold, a bright cloud
overshadowed them: and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud saying,
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear him. And of course,
the disciples passed out. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their
faces and were greatly afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said,
Arise, and be not afraid. And when they lifted their heads, they only saw
Jesus. You know what happened? They saw the Christ. They saw the Christ.
They couldn’t contain it. They couldn’t handle it. One day my wife and I
came back from Brownsville. We were there a few days. And you could feel
the presence of God. It was very sweet. You saw a lot of things happen and
whatever. And when we came back, I was crying out to the Lord for certain
things and whatever— so we were in the living room and we were getting
ready to show this video that we had brought back. So mom was there and
another woman and my wife and I put this video in. I began to watch this
video and everybody was watching the video and all of a sudden— because I
didn’t see this video. This was the first time I had seen it— and I saw the
pastor behind the pulpit and all of a sudden I saw the glory of God hit him. I
mean I saw the glory— and I said, My God, Lord, that’s your glory!! And
when I said that, it hit me! And all of a sudden from inner— it was like this
breath was just flowing out and it was like light was flowing out of my mouth!
My head just went— and my mouth was open and this! And the next thing I
know I started flipping and flapping like a fish out of water! I looked like I
was having an epileptic seizure. I had no— My flesh could not contain the
glory of the Lord. I was flipping and flapping— if we would have recorded it,
that would have been a new Holy Ghost shuffle! You could not have imitated
that. No man could imitate that! [Laughter.] And I was flipping and flapping
on the couch and they were looking at me— And my wife knowing— we

Page 6 of 13
came from seeing all this. Mom thought about calling 911. And my wife
says to mom, Quick grab the coffee table, he’s going to go through it if we
don’t move it!!! [Lots of laughter.] So they moved the coffee table out of the
way and as soon as they did, I went flying off the couch. I was— talk about
holy roller. I was still flipping and flapping and I was rolling and rolling and
rolling back and forth and all these languages were flying out of me. I’m
telling you I spoke French. I spoke Japanese. Korean. All these languages
were coming out of me and then I saw the face of the Lord came in the living
room and said, Be not dismayed that I have come to dwell with you. And
then all of a sudden I settled and this language was still running. And then
he said to me, Lay hands on everyone in this room and impart in them the
desire for the lost! And I wasn’t getting up. So they had to come down.
[Laughter.] And when they came down, I laid hands on them and prayed
that. But I’m telling you that electricity was intense. The power of Christ
changed me, again. Never the same. Interceded for the lost. See we can
never lose the hunger for the lost. Never. Never get so caught up in your
own self and what you have - and what you’ve learned - and what you’ve
done, when there are the lost still going to hell. That’s why the Christ came,
didn’t he. He came to bring salvation. He came to bring love. The true Light
of power, love and eternity came into the natural realm. Oh, glory! Turn to
John 1. John 1:6. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
This man came for a witness, to bear witness to the Light, that all through
him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of
that Light. That was the true Light, which gives light to every man coming
into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him,
and the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own did not
receive him. But as many as received him, to them gave the right to
become children of God, to those who believe on his name: Who were born,
not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but born of
God. So we see here we have those who believe in him have the right to be
come children. He had to come as a child to give the right for someone to
become a child. Does everybody get it? Everything that you and are
granted— to do, he has already done. If he didn’t do it, then you and I don’t
have access to it— to do it. That’s why he came as a man. He came just like
any other flesh creature. Right? Except that his flesh was the word. The
word became flesh, and now your flesh is to become the word. Through the
anointing. Oh, hallelujah. 1 John 5. And the battle continues, the devil still
resists! He resists you from knowing. He resists you from learning. He
resists you from prospering. He resists you. He wants you to STOP! He’s
going to come against you in every area. That’s why the bible says resist
him – and submit to God and the devil will flee from you. I John 5, is
everybody there? Start at verse 1, the first five verses. It says, Whoever
believes that Jesus is the Christ— In fact, in the bible every time you see
“Jesus” it should be “Jesus the Christ.” In fact the word “Christ” is a Greek

Page 7 of 13
word but the rest of the bible is English. So it should be “Jesus, the anointed
one and his anointing.” Hallelujah. Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ
is born of God— Now think about that. First of all, most people don’t even
know what the word “Christ” is! They know it as Messiah. They know it as
Savior. But they do not acknowledge the Christ as the Anointed One! With
the anointing and power of God! He is the Christ! Glory. Now, Whoever
believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one who loves him
who begat also loves him who is begotten of him. By this we know that we
love the children of God, when we love God, and what? —keep his
commands. In other words, you are abiding in him. For this is the love of
God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not
burdensome. Why? Because you can’t do it in your own flesh. But you can
do it in the anointing. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world—
Glory. Overcomes the world. What’s in the world? Lust of the eye, lust of
the flesh and pride of life. Overcomes the world. It doesn’t mean you won’t
be tempted. It doesn’t mean you won’t be attacked. But you will overcome.
Whoever is born of God— that’s why it’s a state of being. If you are born
again– if you are in the state of being born again, you overcome. Why?
Because the anointing is there. And the devils can’t— they have to flee.
That’s why there are the three chambers of the tabernacle. The outer court,
the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. Right. See when you get saved, you
are saved. You’re conceived. But when the Holy Ghost comes and birthed
that seed, you are born again. And the anointing is there. But let me tell
you this, it is a state of being also. Because you can eventually go back to
that state of “fallen away.” See that’s why it is our responsibility to maintain
the anointing so that we stay in the state of being born again!! That’s why
Jesus said come and learn from me. Oh, hallelujah. Verse 4 again, For
whatever is born of God overcomes the world. Praise God. That’s simple
enough. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Hallelujah. The
devil does cause confusion and all kinds of stuff. Whatever is born of God
overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world,
our faith. Wow! Our faith. So, see if you believe, you follow. What are you
following? You’re following the Lord by what? Faith. See the more you
abide, the more the anointing of God is on you. The more the presence of
God is expressed on you and through you! You will have more victories if
you are walking in that state. You will have more failures if you are walking
in the “saved” state than the “born again” state. Because it’s the anointing
— Remember the anointing is what came into the world. Amen? Who is he
that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Praise God. Believe Jesus is the Christ and we overcome by obedience to the
commands. Go to 2 Corinthians 5. Glory!! Oh, you’re going to see this
differently. Listen, I’m not trying to— That’s why they call it “Christ –mas.”
Christ mass. It’s a fellowship. You remember what those masses are? You
know where you went when you were a kid? It didn’t hit you but you hit it.

Page 8 of 13
You went in there and came out the same way. It was a representation of a
gathering. It was a representation of a celebration or a feast. So they
gather to acknowledge the Christ. That’s what they call— It’s not “X-mas,”
it’s “Christmas.” Hello. Some people put the “X” there. For Christmas.
They are actually cutting him off. But most people don’t know that when
they are celebrating Christmas, that it’s about the coming of the Anointed
One and his anointing. Think about all the years that we celebrated
Christmas with the wrong attitude or deceived knowledge. You know we
looked at this little baby in a manger. Goochy, goochy, goo! Aw yeah that’s
God. Yeah we would say it’s God but it’s hard to see God in that baby. But
see when we understand that he had to be all things so that you and I could
become the child – so that we could be born again. All these things, he had
to do or we couldn’t get it. Glory! 2 Corinthians 5. Oh, it’s a wonderful day.
Whew! Come on, lift your hands to heaven and get a drink, it’s okay.
Nobody will scold you for getting a drink. Praise God. We’re going to be
celebrating a holy day. Every day is a holiday! Every day is Christmas!
Every day is Thanksgiving for me and you! Every day is the Sabbath! Hey
what did he say? He said be joyful! How are you going to be joyful? You
need to get drunk! Lift your hands to heaven! How are you going to get
some peace? Let me tell you, you need to get rid of yourself! Go ahead and
lift your hands to heaven! Thank you Lord!! Peace, joy and righteousness in
the Holy Ghost! In the Christ! Glory! 2 Corinthians 5:16. Come on read this
with me. I want you to get this. The Lord’s Christ. That’s what we are
talking about today. Therefore from now on, we regard no one according to
the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now
we know him thus no longer. In other words, we are not acknowledging the
flesh part any longer. Does everybody get it? See when we mention the
name of Jesus, we’re not talking about the Jesus of the natural realm. It’s the
name of the Christ! I mean, don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with
having a picture of Jesus. It reminds you of what he has done. But that’s not
who we are acknowledging now. We are acknowledging the Christ! The
Christ had to come and put on flesh and come into the world so that you and
I could receive his Spirit. The Spirit of Christ! But religion— Religion has still
got him on the cross. That’s why he said don’t acknowledge Jesus in the
natural— in the flesh. He came as a Jewish boy. Amen? Amen, we’ve got
somebody who agrees in here. But he’s no longer Jewish. He’s the Christ!
But the Jew was chosen to spread the message of the Christ. If he had
chosen the Italians we would have had trouble! There would have been too
many concrete shoes around! [Laughter.] Hey I’ve got an offer, man! –You
can’t refuse. You accept Jesus or die! [More laughter.] So he knew he had to
choose a Jew. Praise God. You can drink some more. It’s alright. See, it’s
supposed to be called “fun day” not “Sunday.” Glory!! So we are not to
acknowledge him in the natural anymore. Amen? He’s the Christ! Go to
verse 17. Therefore if anyone is what? —in Christ,— In other words, if you

Page 9 of 13
are baptized in the Spirit, you are in the Christ. Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, he is a what? —new creation. I want to share something with you.
When people accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you know they are not
all brand new right away, are they. In fact, they go around, Yeah, I’m born
again! Praise God! Let’s go party. I’m born again! Let’s go— fornicate!
They are not born again. Hello. They’re not in a born again state. See if you
are in Christ— if you have been baptized in the Holy Spirit, you become a
new creation. Old things have passed away and all things have become
new. I’m telling you, you see differently. You hear differently. You speak
differently. Amen? Now sometimes, it’s instant— BAM! And sometimes it’s
gradual. I sure wish it was instant for everyone. You know, like Quaker Oats
- five minutes - your done! Everybody eats! Alright, praise God. Just dress it
up a little bit and wolf it down. But it’s not that way. God knows exactly how
to deal with a person— sometimes he is waiting for that person to get in a
position where they truly cry out to God. See because your prayers actually
cause circumstances in peoples lives. Your prayer can’t rescue anybody!
You mean my prayer doesn’t rescue anybody? No. What your prayer does is
cause a circumstance in that person’s life for God to rescue them. Hello.
Now let’s go a little further. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation. Old things have passed away, all things have become new. Now
all things are of God who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus the
Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. So listen, there is a
ministry when we are in Christ, called reconciliation that has been granted to
you automatically. Why? Because didn’t he just say when the Holy Spirit
comes upon you, you would be a what? —witness. A witness will always
cause reconciliation. So you see that automatically you have been given the
ministry of reconciliation. Wow! In verse 19, That is, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and
has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Wow! Now go to verse 20,
look at this. You not only have a ministry of reconciliation but check this out.
Now then, we are what? —ambassadors for Christ, as though God were
pleading through us, we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
For he made him who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we may become the
righteousness of God. So two things happened here. You have a ministry
called reconciliation and you become an ambassador of the anointing. Does
everybody got it? So that when somebody gets saved, you don’t say okay
just go your merry way, accept Jesus Christ as you Lord and Savior and see
ya! No. You introduce them to the Holy Spirit. Why? Because it’s your
responsibility that Christ be birthed in them. See that’s why I don’t like— oh,
yes Jesus will save you. Yes he will. But too many people accept Jesus and
run. They are not willing to do whatever it takes so that Christ the character
can be birthed in them. They become religious. They become very
offensive. All kinds of things. Because that’s the flesh, isn’t it. And you
have to remember— What’s the devil doing? Trying to prevent you from

Page 10 of 13
turning into the fullness of Christ. See now that Christ dwells in us he wants
to have his way in every area. So he comes in there and begins to knock you
off your seat, you know. Yeah, your lust for money? Gotta get out of here!
That pornography has to go! And all those other things that are associated
with the world. Your rebellion— has to go! See now you have to agree with
him. He’ll only push so far— he will say come on and turn it over. And if you
refuse– okay. He won’t force himself, will he. Glory to God. 1 Timothy 2:1.
Therefore, I exhort first of all that, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and
giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all who are in
authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and
reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
Who desires all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man
Christ Jesus; Who gave himself as a ransom for all, to be testified in due
time. For which I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, (I am speaking
the truth in Christ, and not lying) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
Wow! The Lord’s Christ. Go to Philippians 4:10. You know there is a
difference when you are baptized in the Christ. You no longer go to bars.
Hello. You no longer compromise in those areas. You don’t promote the
things of the world. You just don’t do that. You come out of the world. You
don’t laugh at dirty jokes. It’s appalling. There are things that you no longer
do because to you then— the things you thought were clean or funny are
now dirty. Because of the purity of Christ that’s in you now. It begins to
change you. You no longer— when you find yourself exaggerating, you get
convicted. Oh, I’m sorry Lord. I exaggerated on that and I’m sorry. There is
no longer a covering up or justifying the things that are not acceptable to
God. They are being exposed now. There is no more blaming everybody for
your stuff. There is now an acceptance and a taking responsibility. No more
hiding. But telling the truth because you realize these things are making you
more and more free. There is no more an area of wanting to do it your way.
You become more surrendered. Because in Christ you are beginning to know
who he is. And you are beginning to trust him. You begin to realize now—
you become more sensitive to everything that goes on around your life. He’s
there. You know that — I know if my wife comes up and rub’s my shoulders,
I know the Lord has sent her because I must have a problem there. Does
everybody understand that? See you begin to look beyond the veil. That’s
not just the things in the natural realm. You see things differently. You have
new eyesight. Things are wonderful. You should have seen when the Lord
restored my wife and myself— when she saw me, she thought I was bonkers.
Of course, I was. I wasn’t of this world and there was a definite amen to
that. I was looking at plants that I never saw. Bugs. Whoa, look at the
colors! There were things that I never saw— I couldn’t see beyond myself!!
I began to see— I began to recognize that God’s creation was awesome!!
Whoa, look at these trees - look at the bark! I mean, you look at this human

Page 11 of 13
body and— whoa!!! Look I’ve got blood flowing — how can this — I mean it
does what I say it does!! I can move this leg!!! This is incredible! I am a
Spirit in this earth suit! And it obeys! Wow, I can move my leg, everything!
I mean, come on. You can’t tell me there isn’t a God. Wow! Hallelujah.
Philippians 4, did we go there yet? But I what? Oh, hallelujah! What are
those two things? Peace, joy and righteousness in the Holy Ghost! And I
what? Rejoiced! Don’t hang around miserable believers. Depart from them.
If they say, Where are you going? Aren’t you going to help me now—
[Laughter.] Lift the book up and send them to their closet where they can go
pray for a while. And if you are miserable, don’t tell anybody you know
Jesus! Because then people are going to say, How are you doing? [Pastor
mimicks a whining believer.] I thought you were a believer? I am. But I’m
still waiting on the Lord! [Pastor mimics angry whining believer saying that.]
Oooo, happy one, aren’t you. Go through the drive through and get a happy
meal and you’ll be okay. Hallelujah! Go to the drive through of Jesus and
get a happy meal! Amen? But I what? Rejoice— and we sing that, [pastor
sings] Rejoice, rejoice Emmanuel— But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that
now at the last your care of me has flourished again; though you surely did
care but you lacked opportunity to express it or to show it. Not that I speak
in regard to need: for I have learned, in whatever state I am, [Hello.
Whatever state you be--] to be what? C-o-n-t-e-n-t. I know how to be
abased, and I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things I have
learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Are you ready? But I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
In other words, you can do all things through the what? The Anointing. ALL
THINGS! Hallelujah. Go to Colossians 3:1, is everybody there? Let’s read it
together please. Colossians 3:1, If then you were raised with Christ, seek
those things which are above, where Christ is— Where is he? He’s above.
Hallelujah. Sitting where? At the right hand of God the Father. Set your
mind on things above, not on things of the earth. For you died and your life
is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, appears, then you
shall also appear with him in glory. Praise God! You don’t have to figure it
out. You just have to believe it. Trust. Therefore put to death your
members which are on the earth— Why? Because we do not want to nullify
Christ. —fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness,
which is idolatry: Because of these things, the wrath of God is coming upon
the sons of disobedience. In which you yourselves once walked, when you
lived in them. But now you yourselves are to put off all these; anger, wrath,
malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one
another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on
the new man, who is renewed in the knowledge according to the image of
him who created him: [Whoa!] Where there is neither Greek nor Jew,
circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free: but
Christ is all, and in all. So we’re going to appear with him. Hallelujah. Does

Page 12 of 13
everybody get it? Good. Let’s go to Ephesians 5:11. And he says okay, And
have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of what? —darkness, but rather
expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are
done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest
by the light [which is the Christ] for whatever makes manifest is light.
Therefore he says, awake you who sleep, arise from the dead and Christ will
give you light. Whoa! Ephesians 3:14. For this reason I bow my knees to
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven
and earth is named; that he would grant you, according to the riches of his
glory, to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man; that
Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and
grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the
width, and the length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ,
which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now go to chapter 4. Hallelujah. So we know that the Spirit of Christ is
within us. Now we have to learn, don’t we. See without the Spirit of Christ in
you, it’s difficult to learn. That’s why Paul said— How are you going to get—
Jesus even said, Listen, if I tell you the things of the earth and you can’t get
it, how are you going to get the things of the Spirit? Well you must have the
Spirit in you to get the things of the Spirit of God. That’s why he says in
chapter 4 in verse 11, [Ephesians 4:11] And he himself gave some to be
what? —apostles; some prophets; and some evangelists; and some pastors
and teachers; for what? —the equipping of the saints, for the work of the
ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of
the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the
measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ— of the fullness of Christ. So
that must be learned. That we should no longer be children, tossed to and
fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men,
and cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting. By the voice of the stranger.
You know people are still being led by the voice of the stranger because they
have not learned Christ yet. Oh, hallelujah. But speaking the truth in love,
may grow up— Hello. Everybody say “grow up.” —in all things, into him
who is the head, Christ. From whom the whole body joined and knit together
by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which
every part does its share, causes growth to the body, for the edifying of itself
in love. Glory to God. The Lord’s Christ. Everybody got it? Good.
Everybody get it? Good. Praise God. Thank you Lord. Now Father we thank
you for the Spirit of Christ. And we ask Lord, that this seed, this revelation,
this impartation will be protected by the Blood and sealed by the Spirit, to
grow and bear fruit for your glory, that we may pass this information,
maintaining our ministry of reconciliation and ambassadors of the Christ, in
Jesus’ name. And everybody said? AMEN.
