Our hope is anchored in the finished work of Jesus. Grace is a license to win over sin. Grace changed our nature and sin does not have dominion any longer. You don't stop sin by preaching the law. Don't underestimate the power of the Holy Spirit. #grace

Dangers of somebody grabbed my phone, all right. And we're going to begin in 1st Peter chapter 3. I'm going to share this with you to protect you. To protect you from wolves.

All right. Now, the scripture tells us that I wasn't, I don't have this in my notes, but if just jot this down, Thank you, sir. Galatians chapter 1.

Imposters.

I'm astonished versus six the year quickly, so quickly to deserting him, who called you in the grace of Christ, and I turn into a different gospel. Some people think Grace is a different gospel. No, it's, it's nothing. New is what part of. I said it was it was what Paul taught and so and then it goes on to say, not that there is another one. Now, the words there is not another gospel in the gospel of grace,

This is in your Bible. Amen. So if people try to challenge your audience too much, they pay over there, preaching, all that great. His too much grace. We need to talk about. Seeing we need to get into the deeper things of God like stops in it. Are you going to hell?

Time out.

Point them to that. First of all, before we even go into the message, this is key right here. Because see the context of this is, is that they were judaizers, that came in Galatians, is a gentile church. If you're not a Jew or Gentile. And UTIs just came in and tried to add to the message of the cross.

Back by telling them that they had to keep the law.

We're not under the law, but the scripture says, we are dead to the law that we could be married to Jesus. hey man, if you trying to keep the law, You, you're committing spiritual adultery. You cheating on Jesus.

so,

He said not that there is another but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. So uses the gospel of Christ in the gospel of grace, interchangeable e. All right.

We are not under the law. I want to go to 1st Peter 3. Because we have a whole big is a confident expectation of good. We are to have hope, and we have reason.

A whole is Anchor in the finished work of Jesus. He finished the work. He forgave you all your sins but he did more than that.

Let me just say this right here. People are people who think that Grace. They confuse Grace with Mercy, people who say well you can't just preach the grass. Grace is the gospel.

Well it it's it's it's just that's just it's too much grace. You got to give people more than Grace know you don't I said, no, you don't.

People, confuse they say these things because they confuse Grace with Mercy.

Mercy is when you don't get what you deserve.

And people confuse grace and mercy. And they said we're getting one bit. One of These Days, Grace going to run out. You can't just keep cute that people just keep on, sending them. Keep on sending you giving people, giving people a license

People are sending already without a license.

the other thing is, People say these things. You preach too much grace. You need to talk about seeing. they're saying these things because

they think that Grace is only forgiveness. Now, that's a part of it.

I said that's a part of it but that's not the whole story. Grace is not just forgiveness. And again they say well you know you keep doing the same old saying over and over and is God going to keep forgiving you? Yeah.

You can send a thousand times in a day.

And after you a thousand times, sending you're still the righteousness of God in Christ.

Having said that Grace is not just forgiveness. I'm going to develop these things. I'm just laying the groundwork.

And before we, let me read this first, But in your hearts honor Christ. The Lord Is Holy always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asked you for a reason for the hope. That is in you yet. Do it with gentleness and respect. Not respect people. And do it with gentleness. But don't back down.

People try to put their lab Only Knows in your face. And talk about this is too much breaks. It's dangerous.

I don't like people getting up in my face.

and first of all, I ask a question, when people come to me a certain way, Because if people don't want to learn, I'm just keeping keeping it to myself. Like my question is, are you asking me? As a student, a student wanting to learn, or a professor trying to correct the student.

Sing cuz I don't want I don't want to waste my energy. The Bible tells us not to Jesus said, don't cast your Pearls Before Swine. Why? Cuz they can't appreciate it. You put a pearl necklace on a pig. They they they really can't. They can't appreciate it.

In the Bible, never tells us to argue with anybody. But we, we should be prepared to make a defense. For anyone who asked you.

Why you believe the way you believe?

Should we be talking about stop sinning?

Okay, first time another timeout. We're going to have a moment of silence for those people who accused us of talk about. We don't talk about sending we need to stop sending my question to you before. We take this moment, I'm going to ask you a question and then I want to have a moment of silence.

The question is, what about your saying?

You want to point out other people's. What about yours.

I'm going to go out strip here. I want to show you something. Some people are like this. Like this dude. This song This parasitic and you know, Jesus had all his problems with religious folks. It made me take me to three weeks break this down, but I am going to take my time. I'm reminding myself. Take your ass to take your time.

He also Jesus. He also told this Parable just to someone trusted in themselves Did they were righteous and treated others with contempt. Two men went into the temple to pray.

One of Pharisee, another tax collector, the Pharisee standing by and sell products. God, I thank you. I'm like, I'm not like other men. Extortioners ungeza, daughters, even like this dude over here print, this tax collector. I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get, but the tax collector standing a far-off will not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his Blessing. God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you this man went to his house Justified, rather than the other

for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted There's some folk act like that Pharisee. I think I'm not like all these other centers.

Let me tell you something. dogs at Criticize us teaching too much grace, and we need to tell people about this and what about your sin? Let's have a moment of silence.

Do you need help? All of us. All of us in Oh, I don't say it. I would not Sinners by Nature with the righteousness of God, but we all commit sin. And thank God. All of our sins have been forgiven past present and future on the cross.

You think you don't send? Okay the Bible says he that knows to do good. And doesn't do it to him and send some people what they think about when they make these. Criticism. They just think about what they considered a Biggie's. getting drunk or

smoking weed.

Adultery means to miss the mark. The Bible also tells us, whatever is not of faith. It's in anybody ever been afraid, afraid a little bit. Little bit.

If you don't feel, you're not in faith. And you missed the mark, That's a sin. But God don't fall out. Don't don't fall out over that.

God, don't fall out when you sent

Do you have someone on the inside of you and you have a brand new heart?

Y'all listening. Okay, so we need to have a response. The people that say you know, your church all they talk about is Grace, that's like saying all they talk about is the gospel.

Romans 5:17 says, Put hit by one man's. Trespass death rain through that one, man, much more. Those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness, raining life, through the one man, Jesus Christ. See if the abundance of Grace, not a little bit of Grace, the abundance of Grace.

Is the Abundant advisor the abundance of Grey of it. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you. Lord Jesus. No. We're not giving people a license to send, all right, like I said, people are sending already without a license. How about give Grace a chance?

Let me say it again for the people in the back, let's give Grace a chance.

so, All right. Let me tell you something else about sent what about since it was canceled.

Your sins were canceled on the cross. Write the scripture down the 2nd Corinthians 5:19. It says God was personally present in Christ reconciling and restoring the world to favor with himself. Watch this the world. There's a Christian in the world.

He did this before any of us were Christians.

Reconciling and restoring the world to favor with himself. Not counting up and holding against men their trespasses but canceling them.

And committed to us the message of reconciliation of restoring. Of the rest of the restoration to favor. Thank you. Lord Jesus. Now, this look at Romans 5:20.

And this is this is very interesting. Sometimes people accuse us of where that's just you preaching greasy Graves

and what is that? We we not climbing a fire pole to heaven and it's slipping down.

Another accusation as well, you know?

It's a hyper Grace. And I stand guilty as a q's because it is hyper. I've caught this before but it's it's good to bring this up again. And I want to look at this.

I want to I want to bring up my notes here because I forgot to write this definition down, but the Romans 5:20 says,

now, the law came in to increase the trespass. Think about that for a moment. See, people think you need the law to stop people from sending that one? The purpose of the purpose of the law was to bring man to at the end of himself. Look at this, the law came into the Stop the trespass.

Think about that for a second.

He came in to do. What do people just read past that? I'm not going to let you do that? And I want you to take some good notes and log this somewhere safe, this message. So you going to have a reason So, you can get people to reason why? Did all we talk about is Grace.

You know the Bible says Jesus was full of it.

He was full of grace.

Oh my goodness. Don't sleep on wrong places one. The gospel of Christ is called the gospel of grace.

No, I like this because I think in the King James in the new King James, it uses the same word and anybody Jeff King. James God has 520 What was that? Say, read it to me. You got it. Got it open in anybody's got a King, James new King, James. where,

send increased Grace about it, all the more

None of just different 20 read that again.

Okay, so uses the same word. Abound abound.

Soon about it Grace abounded in the King James new King James. But I like the ESV because it makes a distinction because they're two different words, they're two different words in a Greek. The word for increase is clear nozzle. And it basically means increase as a. Says here. It's correct correctly, translated. Send increased. Actually, Grace works the best where they're sending present.

It doesn't increase to send it stop saying when we when people receive the abundance of it. Where is Sam now?

The word grace, abound it about it, all the more say about it, all the more.

Bats. 1 Greek word.

Little Greek study here. Okay, I'm not care about getting the weeds by, I want want want want want you to listen? Increase pleonasmo Grace about it, all. All the more abound it all, the more is one Greek word and its Hooper parasee you up Now that's a mouthful is a combination of two words. The prefix of that were is Hooper where we get our English word hyper.

sin came into the world through Adam and so we're seeing increased clear nozzle Grace who prepares to you all And what does that mean? Okay, so Thank goodness. I got I got Lagos. I can just click on that word about it and let me see what happened. I go to Bible word study. I'm not going to read all of them. I got an extension and extensive dictionary, but I'm going to highlight a few of these definitions. To supply lavishly.

To be in great access that people will try to stop you. Let me just let me help you with the people that come against you and say, we preach too much grace. Yeah. Well what about stop it? You come with me and look at this. And what about this?

You comment on this. Like I'm reading the scripture to you, you comment on this, you tell me what you think about this.

So you don't just come up with some old scripture out the blue. Send increase Grace who prepares to you it makes bread access. Watch this it means to supply lavishly. It means extreme

Extreme.

I'm extreme. I'm an extreme kind of dude, with a come to Grace, I ain't going to let nobody back me down.

You don't mess with me to come to you. Sometime. They write me letters and try to get me to listen, man, all this complicated stuff. Somebody send me some complicated stuff. Look, if it don't pass, the child test is not the gospel.

Jesus was simple. Oh my goodness, look at it and great. Access extreme extreme degree, you're very great. Great degree. the Overflow about more exceedingly being great at different sources, are saying some of the same things, Is hybrid race. It's extreme.

because if it's the extreme Grace is going to cause you to rain,

man, I'm getting happy in here.

The Bible tells us that you're allergic to it.

It's 50 Cent, you know, senden agree with you.

Send shock your system.

I was in Europe and actually Nice France. And on. everywhere, I went And it's the same in Greece and Italy all over. Your of every I haven't been to every place in your places. I've been when you go to a restaurant, they send they give you room temperature Coke. Soda. No ice.

Be truthful. I actually got used to it. I still do that. Sometime drink without ice.

Why do you? Where is the ice? How come you're all set room temperature to drink they say? Because I don't know if this is true or not. But this is what the guy told me. He told me because his shocks your system when it's Like, cold drinks. Shock your system.

Okay, I think ice cream.

I mean, I just asked question I mean I just like, yeah, well it didn't have an answer for that so I don't even know if that's true or not. But I do know they served at room temperature. After said that, let's just make believe this true.

You got a new heart missing. What people missing this discussion?

send you addicted to it here if you know people who are addicted to stuff, Anybody has a certain reaction.

and, you know, You can send all you want, and you still the righteousness of God. The issue is, is really no issue and think about it. God trust you won't to

Cuz he took a spiritual stable and gave you a brand new heart. That's what's missing in this discussion. Your your your new identity. Is allergic to send.

and when you stand, if all hands on deck to get you out of it,

Dislike.

Is there something else?

If that's true, if What You Preach is true, if we forgiven of our sins, past present future, what's the stop mean? Smoking weed all day.

I mean, what what what's, what's my name?

People say some silly stuff. I'm giving you some stuff to come back with cuz this this is nothing new. People say the same old stupid stuff. What's keep me from smoking weed? All day? Do you want to smoke weed all day? well now, What we talked about this?

I want to talk about me. I'm talking about other people. Owe you concerned about other people.

Oh my goodness. You can say about, okay, bring me these people, but you talkin about I'll be right here.

Don't get them and come back to me. I'll help him.

Okay. And I'm never, I've been preaching this for about 9 years. When I came into a revelation of the gospel of grace, and you know what? I've never had one person come up to me and said, I'm so glad you thought that I'm getting ready to go and snort me some cold man, I used to be on drugs. I am getting back on them. Drugs, I I just can't wait to go out and cheat on my wife like I never had anybody come up to me. Saying man, I want to go send all I want. A man, thank God for all that he's done for me.

Why would I want to go and get back in the mud?

I'm getting ready to go to a ball and I got a white tuxedo on a white vest and white bow. Tie, White Shoes, white socks,

and,

Hold up. Let's say I just got off of work, I work construction and I've been in a just been working in the dirt all day.

I go down the street and I see some guys, ain't they need to, you know, that they know when these manholes lay down the ground, they want me to help them. It might help help me with this. What does pipe man?

Sure, I'm going to be helpful. I'm going to get down there and help.

Melissa.

And when I first, when I first described I'm clean, I'm in all that way. I see the same dude, man, can help me. No man clean

Can't do that. Now, we'll all soon from time to time and we cover. Because all of our sins have been forgiven 2,000 years ago. But the thing is, we don't want to send

But thank God when we do we have an advocate with the father that says you forgiven.

Come on.

Romans 6-11. So you almost you also must consider. What do you want to split? What should we consider? You're dead to sin and alive to God.

You did to it. Basically, you're addicted.

Did Jesus.

You allergic to send and addicted to Jesus, your spirits been made a life.

Ephesians 2:13.

What it is God. Who works in you? To Will and to act. In order to fulfill his good purpose.

See that Philippians 2:13?

For who is working in you? God is working in you. to will, Who is Who will? God wear.

How do people miss this? Who's in you? And what's he doing in you? He working

See, this is why you not comfortable with send.

He's working in you to Will, and to act. you showing you how to

in order to fulfill his good purpose.

Found the righteousness of God in Christ.

Look at Romans 6, you actually a slave to righteousness. Oh man. Your slave to righteousness, will get to that. First, this one. But thanks be to God.

That you were once a slave of sin.

You who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed. You can't. You can't Obey from your heart yourself. This is if God makes it makes you obedient from the heart. If you combine that with Philippians 2:13 is God, working in you. Obedient from, from the heart. From, from that new heart.

Again, your new identity, regex. Send. Sin is a shock to your system, you going to prove your identity one way or another.

You either going to send and be miserable. Or Express Jesus and become fulfilled.

First 18, Romans 6:18 and having been set free from sin. Have become slaves of righteousness, your slave of righteousness. You'll want to change. And you know what people are scared about what believe is going to want to do if they hear this message. You know, God is not concerned about it at all. Cuz he knows he's working in you.

And you, you not going to want to go out. And make a mess.

I'm going to say it again. People who say Did The Graces of Licensing? Okay, let me say this for the first time people that say that they have a very tiny weak, puny pathetic pitiful, understanding of Grace.

Beautiful.

Because they think it's just forgiveness.

I'm going to show you that. Don't watch this. I told you that God took that scalpel think about this. Look like, we don't think about this enough. This is why we need to meditate to work on the inside of you. I mean, you, you got a brand new spirit. Different. You didn't turn over a new Leaf. When you got side, you got. That's spiritual scalpel and took all out. That old Stony heart out of you. Go to the next verse in Ezekiel. This is the prophesied prophecy of what we have today and I will give you a new heart. Not reconstructed one. A new one. That's what happen when you got born again and a new spirit. I will put where Within you, as you sit there right now you got a new spirit. and the Holy Spirit lives that he said I will remove

Little hard-hearted Stone.

From your flesh and give you a heart of Flesh. Listen, if you just want to send it, if you just want to send and in in your in your, in your spirit, you just want to send Here's the answer, get saved.

I think it saved because no believe it wants to send.

because when you made Jesus, Lord, Heart of Stone. That does spirit with picking out of you called out of you and you got a brand new spirit.

You got a beautiful new heart that always loves Jesus.

Grace is not a license to sin is a life. I saw a t-shirt Grace is a license to spend. They were showing Jesus with what was with some, some children's hands and spinning it. No, it's not a license to send this a license to win. Overseen.

People underestimate the Holy Spirit on the inside of you. So you don't want it saying it's not your nature man.

The clock says I'm out of time, but I got like a stand-up. Let me run this by Romans 6:1 and 2.

See, Paul ask him a question cuz he knew what was what they were thinking. See. You're not preaching Grace stronger. I love it when I get letters and people trying to rebuke me in

Say different stuff.

I know I've arrived.

Because until people ask this question, you're not preaching Grace throwing up.

Paul knew what they was thinking, creature grey, so strong that people thought they could just send all they want. What should we say then are we to continue in sin that Grace May abound? First two answers. Own question.

Yeah, just send. No, he said by no means!

Who got this new heart? Who, who dude are the singer still living? Can we?

Your nature is Chase. How can you?

And that was so nice. You said it twice looking for us 15. He started again.

The Saviour dumb letters cuz I won't read them. I don't care if you got profit behind your name and profit as a people think they can pull rank. Like,

do you have to get a law degree right to practice? All right, as a, as a as a minister, you can go online to anybody. It's only it's only in my profession, did anybody? Did Cain. Go to FedEx. And and get a card that says profit and stuff, don't mean nothing to me.

I'm prophetess, SE people say when they say that they got ranked over your something going on somewhere with that.

You got five scriptures, you know in the Bible and you just keep recycling those five scriptures. And now you going to call yourself just out of the other

first of all,

if you all that, Why?

Well, I meant why you a part-time profit.

You got soaked. Trying to say he was trying to tell pastors what to do. If you ain't never passed it before.

And also, you got a revelation for pastor, you never passing the church before, think about it. There's only in our circles. Can you do that?

I just don't play that game.

People typically don't mess with me. They mess with me for the distance, to try to throw rocks high, they had. And that's, that's how they mess with me, but they don't like, you don't have to come with some scripture with me, and I'm not going to argue with you. I'm going to share with you what the word says.

People get caught up with all kinds of stuff that they got all this Revelations, all this deep stuff.

And the first thing they don't even understand the difference in confidence.

They pull a lot of stuff, you know, you can make the Bible, say whatever you want.

And it listen when people come to you with this stuff and they profit is improper. And it listen to the self-righteousness in their, in their voice.

When is no humility. That should tell you something right there.

Okay, so what then are we to send? Because we are not under law. But under grace what by no means am, I saying it's not in your nature to more scriptures. Imma let you go.

Maybe three, Romans 6:14 for sin will have dominion over you because you're under grace.

Send well, what Have No Dominion over you since you are not under the law, but under grace, see, if you give people the law, they want to see it. Because the law gives strength to send 1st Corinthians 15:50 6.

You think you're stopping soon?

By preaching the law. But you're actually increasing it. Remember why the law came in? To increase the trespass.

now, here here's here's something, people think that telling people to stop sending is a deeper message It's not.

Most religions, teach that.

Most religions teach that lemon right? Stop sending living, right? John, the Baptist taught that

Wow.

So Grace. Is the deeper message? There's no message deeper than Grace. Listen to this. This town ask.

20. 24, but I do not account, pause ritek, but I do not account my life of any value for you speaking. I do not count account my life of any value known as precious to myself. If only, I may finish my course and the ministry that I receive. Finish finish my wife.

Say finish McCoys. and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

I'm in good company. I'm preaching the same message. Paul preach.

He said, Jesus gave him that.

To testify the ministry that I received from the Lord to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

Okay. Let me get, let me give you this one. Titus 2.

Okay, so what will keep it right there. So, you see what I got highlighted, we can read it like this sin will not have dominion over you since you were under grace, Does that change meaning? Is it done changing? Meaning, does it?

If it does is pregnant.

She will not have the minute. She will have no dominion over you since you're on the grace.

The house getting house preaching, Grace. Too dangerous.

Orr how? Is Grace dangerous, too much? Grace dangerous? No.

Is only dangerous to the devil.

The only dangerous to the devil. That's why he plays it.

Cuz we can bring send them to a screeching halt. Listen to this. Now, here's the kicker. Right here. This is my favorite of all Titus 2:11 for the grace of God has appeared a Salvation to all people. Scripture did they said Paul encourages the Believers to continue in the grace of God.

Dodgers score. Salvation. but after salvation this, how we live,

The grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people, watch this, it teaches us.

To say, what? Just say, no.

That's what we do. The same way about saying, stop drop and roll. Same thing works out in also works Under Fire.

Teaches us to say no to ungodliness and worldly, passions into lived self-control. Upright, and godly lives in this present. Is whatever you want me to take.

But I can go on and on Grey's teaches you to say no. You got a new heart. Y'all you have the Holy Spirit lives on the inside of you.

Back when they were building the Golden Gate Bridge, you know, a lot of people died over there in San Francisco. While people died, they were falling off the bridge and and and lost their lives.

Morale is down. Okay. You know what, you know what they did? They put a safety net down there.

And guess what happened? You know, what happened with the workers when they put a safety net down there, they start doing backflips to jump off the bridge.

No. Oh man, we just fun.

when you got a safety net to

when you know you've already been forgiven past present and future, you don't want to do backflips to send Guess what? When they put that? Net down productivity, increase morale, increase. Oakwood happy. The two reactions, when Grace, the gospel of grace, has preached some folk. Think you went out, you rock her other people like and I knew it couldn't, it didn't have to be this hard.

This is like this weight goes off. You trying to measure up and try harder and do better in.

Let's Grace. Is his last victory over sin. More, grace means more victory over sin.

You ready to give you ready to give up law, beige living, Hebrews 7, 18 and 19, the former regulation.

We're not under the law. Do good, get good. Do bad, get bad. Hebrews 7, turn to that the former regulation. That's the law is set aside because it was weak and useless.

Where's my team for the law made nothing? Perfect. And a better hope is introduced.

I wish we draw near to God. I'm introduced introducing to you. The real gospel is a high-octane gospel.

Take you to another level. When you receive it. Thank you, Lord. so again, it is Too much grace dangerous only to the devil.

Everybody got clothes Heavenly. Father, we thank you for your word. Thank you.

Thank you for the gospel. Thank you, that we win. I thank you. The Jesus finished the work. I thank you for freedom.

Whom the son sets free is free indeed, if you do your hair today never make Jesus, Lord of your life. Want to give you the opportunity to make him Lord today.
