\nWelcome to the good Christian
\ntalks podcast. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:15,300 –> 00:00:18,100
\nI’m Levi and I’m Chris.
\nThank you so much for joining us<\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:18,100 –> 00:00:22,800
\nthis week on this podcast.
\nWe select one taco week to help <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:22,900 –> 00:00:26,600
\neach one of us get the Bible in
\nour daily news feed. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:27,500 –> 00:00:29,600
\nWe post at the start of each
\nweek for you to listen. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:32,500
\nWith a short intro before hand
\nto kind of set the stage for the<\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:32,500 –> 00:00:34,300
\ntalk.
\nYou’re about to hear and now <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:34,300 –> 00:00:35,800
\nlet’s hear more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:44,100 –> 00:00:46,100
\nI talked this week is an
\nexcitation that was given by <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:46,100 –> 00:00:51,300
\nbrother James diliberto at the
\nEcclesia in Mount Waverley and <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:52,200 –> 00:00:54,100
\nthe class that he gave I just
\nfound it to be a really good <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:54,100 –> 00:00:57,800
\nlook at the excitation on the
\nsinfulness of our flesh and how <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:57,800 –> 00:01:01,800
\nwe tend to be careless with the
\nway that our mind thinks and the<\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:01,800 –> 00:01:05,099
\nway that we can almost deceive
\nourselves and the title of his <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:05,099 –> 00:01:09,100
\nexcitation is be not deceived
\nand frequently. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:09,100 –> 00:01:11,300
\nI feel like a lot of times were
\ntalking about, you know, not <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:11,300 –> 00:01:13,400
\nbeing tricked by other people in
\nthe world are being deceived by <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:13,400 –> 00:01:17,900
\nwhat the Has to offer to us and
\nJames and his excitation takes a<\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:17,908 –> 00:01:23,500
\nreally good look at the way in
\nwhich we can basically justify <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:23,500 –> 00:01:27,500
\nthings to ourselves or can make
\nexcuses for ourselves and why <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:27,500 –> 00:01:30,700
\nwe’re able to push boundaries
\nand instead looks at the way <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:30,700 –> 00:01:33,400
\nthat Christ lived his life about
\nkeeping us as far away from <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:33,400 –> 00:01:35,400
\ntemptation as you can just
\nputting a completely out of his <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:35,400 –> 00:01:39,700
\nmind putting it in a place where
\nyou’re not even within Arm’s <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:39,700 –> 00:01:42,900
\nReach of it.
\nSo often I feel at least I know <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:42,900 –> 00:01:45,000
\nsometimes in my own Life it can
\nbe. <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:46,100 –> 00:01:49,900
\nEasy to think.
\nWell, I can be in the same room <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:49,900 –> 00:01:53,300
\nas something and it won’t bother
\nme and James makes an excellent <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:53,300 –> 00:01:56,000
\npoint going into it about how
\nthat we shouldn’t be anywhere <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:56,000 –> 00:01:58,300
\nnear it.
\nHe makes a really great <\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:58,300 –> 00:02:00,500
\nconnection as he’s looking
\nthrough being deceived. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:00,500 –> 00:02:03,700
\nHe starts by looking at the
\ndeception in the garden with Eve<\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:03,700 –> 00:02:06,000
\nand Adam and the serpent and
\nmakes it really awesome <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:06,000 –> 00:02:08,100
\nconnection that I hadn’t heard
\nanybody bring up before making <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:08,100 –> 00:02:11,100
\nthe connection to the symbology
\nthat Christ used when he’s <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:11,100 –> 00:02:13,900
\nreferring to the scribes and the
\nPharisees in the New Testament <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:14,000 –> 00:02:15,300
\ntalking about them being a brood
\nof vipers. <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:15,400 –> 00:02:20,400
\nUppers and it was a really good
\nchoice and looking at the carnal<\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:20,400 –> 00:02:22,700
\nminds and how the
\ndecision-making that those <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:23,400 –> 00:02:26,000
\nreligious leaders of the time
\nwere making but were being <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:26,000 –> 00:02:28,700
\ndriven by their carnal mind
\nrather than the spiritual mind <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:28,900 –> 00:02:32,500
\nthat Christ was coming from so
\nit’s a little bit of a shorter <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:32,500 –> 00:02:36,600
\nexpectation about 30 minutes or
\nso, but I found it really really<\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:36,600 –> 00:02:39,500
\nencouraging one to listen to
\nreally got got your pumped up <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:39,500 –> 00:02:41,900
\nand really forced you to take a
\nlook at yourself and the choices<\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:41,900 –> 00:02:44,300
\nyou’re making so one.
\nI really wanted to make sure to <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:44,300 –> 00:02:49,400
\nshare James is a is a fun
\nspeaker to listen to so as <\/p>\n

48
\n00:02:49,400 –> 00:02:52,000
\nalways if you have any
\nsuggestions where we get them. <\/p>\n

49
\n00:02:52,000 –> 00:02:54,000
\nWe got a couple every week and
\nthey’re always super useful. <\/p>\n

50
\n00:02:54,000 –> 00:02:56,500
\nWe like to hear what other
\npeople are enjoying. <\/p>\n

51
\n00:02:56,500 –> 00:02:59,800
\nSo it’s not just what Levi and I
\nenjoy but getting it from other <\/p>\n

52
\n00:02:59,800 –> 00:03:03,700
\npeople so send those in as well
\nas just the positive feedback we<\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:03,700 –> 00:03:05,100
\nget from people.
\nIt’s encouraging to know that <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:05,100 –> 00:03:09,600
\npeople are finding it useful and
\nencouraging and are liking it. <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:10,100 –> 00:03:12,300
\nIf you have anybody who isn’t
\nlistening to the podcast and you<\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:12,300 –> 00:03:13,500
\nthink that they would find the
\nencouragement. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:13,500 –> 00:03:16,200
\nFeel free to share it with them
\nthe Number of listens and <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:16,200 –> 00:03:18,100
\ndownloads we get every week or
\nslowly going up. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:18,100 –> 00:03:20,300
\nWe’re getting close to several
\nhundred a week. <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:20,400 –> 00:03:23,700
\nSo we’re excited to see that and
\nhoping that people are enjoying <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:23,700 –> 00:03:26,600
\nthe the podcast.
\nSo with that we’ll turn it over <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:26,600 –> 00:03:30,400
\nto brother James diliberto for
\nhis excitation be not deceived <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:30,400 –> 00:03:32,900
\nmy title.
\nThis morning is be not deceived <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:32,900 –> 00:03:37,600
\nThe Lies We Believe over the
\npast years readings particularly<\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:37,600 –> 00:03:40,400
\nthrough the New Testament.
\nI’ve been picking up on this <\/p>\n

66
\n00:03:40,400 –> 00:03:46,000
\nrepeated phrase be not deceived
\nand some that are To it. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:03:47,100 –> 00:03:49,400
\nAnd when I suggested that I
\nwould speak to this topic to <\/p>\n

68
\n00:03:49,400 –> 00:03:51,000
\nCharlotte.
\nShe said well isn’t that a bit <\/p>\n

69
\n00:03:51,000 –> 00:03:53,900
\nnegative for an excitation and I
\nsaid to her. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:03:53,900 –> 00:03:58,100
\nWell, it’s better than the first
\noption that I had which was sack<\/p>\n

71
\n00:03:58,100 –> 00:04:00,500
\ncloth and Ashes rituals of
\nlamentation. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:00,700 –> 00:04:05,700
\nSo perhaps for a Bible class
\nsomeday, I promise you there’s a<\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:05,700 –> 00:04:08,800
\nvery good positive turn around
\nat the end and as the prophet <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:08,800 –> 00:04:12,600
\nhabakkuk said if it seems slow
\nwait for it, it will surely <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:12,600 –> 00:04:16,000
\ncome.
\nYou know one of the worst things<\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:16,000 –> 00:04:19,500
\nin the world, I’m sure you would
\nagree is the feeling that we’ve <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:19,500 –> 00:04:25,400
\nbeen deceived isn’t we recently
\nbought a new car and during the <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:25,400 –> 00:04:29,500
\nprice negotiation the deal are
\noffered to throw in an extended <\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:29,500 –> 00:04:33,400
\nwarranty instead of the price
\nreduction that I was asking for <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:33,400 –> 00:04:35,400
\ngood and some good New York
\nnegotiations. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:36,500 –> 00:04:39,200
\nAnd while I felt like I got a
\ngood deal. <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:39,600 –> 00:04:41,300
\nUnfortunately a few months
\nlater. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:04:41,300 –> 00:04:45,300
\nWe received a bill in the mail
\nfor the Amount of the premium <\/p>\n

84
\n00:04:46,500 –> 00:04:49,600
\nNow surprise be called up the
\ndealer only to find out that the<\/p>\n

85
\n00:04:49,600 –> 00:04:53,400
\nphone was disconnected and upon
\nfurther investigation that the <\/p>\n

86
\n00:04:53,407 –> 00:04:56,600
\nbusiness had actually gone out
\nof business only a few weeks <\/p>\n

87
\n00:04:56,600 –> 00:05:00,000
\nafter we bought the car and they
\nnever paid the premium. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:00,000 –> 00:05:03,800
\nOf course we were up for it.
\nWe have been deceived. <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:04,700 –> 00:05:09,300
\nIt was one of those feelings
\nlike You feel like you know, <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:09,300 –> 00:05:13,900
\nyou’ve been deceived and perhaps
\nmaybe you feel like if you were <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:13,900 –> 00:05:16,900
\na bit smarter, you could have
\ndone something about it. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:17,800 –> 00:05:21,500
\nWell deception like that.
\nUnfortunately everywhere in this<\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:21,500 –> 00:05:23,800
\nworld is prevalent.
\nI’m sure all you have to do is <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:23,800 –> 00:05:27,200
\nread the news and you find that
\nthere’s corruption and there’s <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:27,200 –> 00:05:31,400
\nfraud in the government and in
\nBanks and in business any of <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:31,400 –> 00:05:35,000
\nthose like myself who were in
\nbusiness, unfortunately you <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:35,000 –> 00:05:37,700
\nrealize that the ception is
\nactually for some people a big <\/p>\n

98
\n00:05:37,900 –> 00:05:43,100
\nPart of success and it’s a real
\nshame and we even see it. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:05:43,100 –> 00:05:46,100
\nUnfortunately in the world’s
\ngovernments don’t week as we see<\/p>\n

100
\n00:05:46,100 –> 00:05:50,600
\nwith the recent government
\nsituation deception is common <\/p>\n

101
\n00:05:50,600 –> 00:05:54,400
\namong human relationships and
\nfundamentally deception is part <\/p>\n

102
\n00:05:54,400 –> 00:05:57,000
\nof our very nature as we had in
\nour two readings. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:05:57,300 –> 00:06:00,700
\nSo, why would I bring that up on
\na Sunday morning as we focus on <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:00,700 –> 00:06:04,500
\nthe memorials?
\nWell in most cases the Bible’s <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:04,500 –> 00:06:07,700
\nwarnings on this particular
\ntopic are with respect. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:07,800 –> 00:06:10,300
\nGet to some of those things that
\nI was talking about, which is <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:10,600 –> 00:06:14,400
\nthe common lies that we might
\nbelieve that come from others. <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:14,700 –> 00:06:20,000
\nBut while there are many
\nexpectations in that regard the <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:20,000 –> 00:06:23,800
\none that surprised me.
\nWas the fact that the vast <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:23,800 –> 00:06:26,900
\nmajority of the warnings
\nbrothers and sisters in this <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:26,900 –> 00:06:32,200
\ntopic are the ways in which we
\ndeceive our own selves. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:33,700 –> 00:06:36,500
\nYou see we get frustrated when
\nwe feel like we’re deceived by <\/p>\n

113
\n00:06:36,500 –> 00:06:40,100
\nsomeone else and we look to
\nfigure out why it happened and <\/p>\n

114
\n00:06:40,100 –> 00:06:43,300
\ncould we have known it and you
\nknow, the ones that catch us <\/p>\n

115
\n00:06:43,300 –> 00:06:46,600
\noff-guard and where we need an
\nexcitation this morning. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:06:46,600 –> 00:06:50,800
\nAll of us is a ways in which we
\ncan deceive ourselves and I <\/p>\n

117
\n00:06:50,800 –> 00:06:54,700
\nthink that happens in two broad
\nways that the Bible speaks about<\/p>\n

118
\n00:06:54,700 –> 00:06:57,500
\nand I think will be encouraged
\nthis morning thinking about it <\/p>\n

119
\n00:06:57,500 –> 00:07:00,500
\none.
\nIt’s the lie that our sinful <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:00,500 –> 00:07:05,800
\nnature tells us that we actually
\nare not as Bad as we are and <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:05,800 –> 00:07:09,000
\nanother one and where we’ll
\nfinish in the Glorious focus on <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:09,000 –> 00:07:11,700
\nthe gospel.
\nAnd what Christ has done for us <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:11,900 –> 00:07:14,300
\nis that he is not as good as he
\nis. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:14,500 –> 00:07:19,600
\nBoth of those lies brothers and
\nsisters will deceive us out of <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:19,600 –> 00:07:23,600
\nliving the life that God has
\ncalled us to live in Holiness <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:23,800 –> 00:07:29,800
\nand righteousness before him and
\nII will pry our hold off of the <\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:29,800 –> 00:07:33,500
\ncrown of Salvation that the Lord
\nJesus Christ died to make make <\/p>\n

128
\n00:07:33,500 –> 00:07:36,300
\navailable to everyone who puts
\ntheir faith in him. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:07:36,800 –> 00:07:41,300
\nSo I pray this morning that this
\nmessage will both challenge you <\/p>\n

130
\n00:07:41,300 –> 00:07:44,500
\nas we ought to and all of our
\nexpectations, but also encourage<\/p>\n

131
\n00:07:44,500 –> 00:07:50,500
\nyou I am so grateful for this
\nword that I hold in my hand the <\/p>\n

132
\n00:07:50,500 –> 00:07:54,600
\nword of God and the reason why
\nI’m so thankful for it. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:07:54,700 –> 00:07:58,300
\nProbably more than any other
\nwith respect to this topic is <\/p>\n

134
\n00:07:58,300 –> 00:08:03,200
\nbecause it is the only mirror in
\nwhich I can look that shows. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:03,400 –> 00:08:08,500
\nMe who I really am.
\nAnd to that effect, I would like<\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:08,500 –> 00:08:13,100
\nto quote from a book that I read
\nrecently about this topic that <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:13,100 –> 00:08:16,500
\nwould accuracy of the Bible and
\nit goes like this the first <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:16,500 –> 00:08:20,800
\nreason I trust the Revelation
\nand teaching of Christ and the <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:20,808 –> 00:08:25,500
\nBible apart from all of the
\nphilosophical historical and <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:25,500 –> 00:08:32,700
\nprophetic arguments is its
\naccuracy and honesty of its <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:32,700 –> 00:08:39,000
\ndescription of human nature. for
\ncenturies on end we have held in<\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:39,000 –> 00:08:45,200
\nour hands that which describes
\nand defines what your heart and <\/p>\n

143
\n00:08:45,200 –> 00:08:50,100
\nmy heart is like it is the most
\naccurate and exhausted <\/p>\n

144
\n00:08:50,100 –> 00:08:57,200
\nexplanation of mankind and the
\nway he thinks but she’s so <\/p>\n

145
\n00:08:57,200 –> 00:08:59,200
\nthankful for this word of God
\nthat we have. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:01,400 –> 00:09:05,200
\nIt’s the one thing that will
\nnever lie to us about who we are<\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:05,500 –> 00:09:08,900
\nabout what we are about the
\ntrappings of humanity. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:10,000 –> 00:09:13,200
\nAnd about the Forgiveness that
\ndespite our humanity is <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:13,200 –> 00:09:18,000
\navailable to us this book this
\nword of God that I know that you<\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:18,000 –> 00:09:21,700
\nlove along with me.
\nBut aren’t you so thankful for <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:21,700 –> 00:09:24,300
\nthat?
\nAnd in that regard then <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:24,300 –> 00:09:26,900
\ntherefore this morning, we’re
\ngoing to start off with some <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:26,900 –> 00:09:30,300
\nchallenges some challenging
\npassages of scripture that I <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:30,300 –> 00:09:33,400
\nhope that despite that making
\nyou possibly feel a little bit <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:33,400 –> 00:09:36,100
\nuncomfortable about yourself.
\nYou’ll be thankful for it <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:36,108 –> 00:09:39,500
\nbecause it’s the truth and we
\nspeak the truth in love to one <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:39,500 –> 00:09:41,600
\nanother as the Apostle Paul
\nexhorted us. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:42,000 –> 00:09:46,300
\nAnd so does the Bible it speaks
\nthe truth to us in love <\/p>\n

159
\n00:09:48,100 –> 00:09:50,200
\nfoundations are important.
\nI’m sure you would agree. <\/p>\n

160
\n00:09:50,400 –> 00:09:53,400
\nSure, you guys do plenty of
\nfirst principle foundations <\/p>\n

161
\n00:09:53,400 –> 00:09:56,900
\nhere, and I’m so thankful that I
\nhad my foundations growing up <\/p>\n

162
\n00:09:56,900 –> 00:09:59,900
\nand we spent a lot of time
\nlooking at the foundations that <\/p>\n

163
\n00:09:59,900 –> 00:10:03,600
\ncome from the book of Genesis.
\nAnd of course in Genesis is not <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:03,600 –> 00:10:05,700
\nchapter that we had read for us
\nthis morning. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:06,300 –> 00:10:11,700
\nWe find the first great moral
\nconflict in history, which is in<\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:11,700 –> 00:10:16,700
\nthe records own words.
\nThe Serpent versus Eve the <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:16,700 –> 00:10:22,000
\nmother of all living or that old
\nserpent as Revelation has it The<\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:22,000 –> 00:10:27,500
\nSerpent versus Eve now in that
\nconflict in Genesis chapter 3 <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:27,500 –> 00:10:31,300
\nverse 1 it says now the serpent
\nwas more subtle. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:31,500 –> 00:10:35,500
\nYes, V has crafty than any of
\nthe other Beasts of the field <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:35,500 –> 00:10:39,900
\nthat the Lord God had made he
\nsaid to the woman did God <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:40,000 –> 00:10:45,400
\nactually say did God actually
\nsay You shall not eat of any <\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:45,400 –> 00:10:48,900
\ntree of the garden and after
\nclarification of the matter by <\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:48,900 –> 00:10:54,100
\nEve.
\nShe says this to our topic this <\/p>\n

175
\n00:10:54,100 –> 00:10:57,300
\nmorning.
\nShe says. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:10:58,600 –> 00:11:06,200
\nThe serpent deceived me and I
\nthe serpent deceived me and I <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:06,200 –> 00:11:10,100
\nate the serpent said to the
\nwoman you shall not surely die. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:10,100 –> 00:11:12,700
\nIt was a lie.
\nShe would die. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:13,800 –> 00:11:17,900
\nThe serpent deceived me and
\nthat’s how he you’ve felt Eve <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:17,900 –> 00:11:22,200
\nfelt that she had been deceived.
\nPerhaps should she have listened<\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:22,200 –> 00:11:24,200
\nperhaps there was more
\ninteraction with Adam. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:25,000 –> 00:11:28,500
\nWe’ve pontificated on this topic
\nmuch in our occlusal discussions<\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:28,800 –> 00:11:31,600
\nas we should but the
\nfundamentally the feeling of <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:31,600 –> 00:11:34,200
\neven the testimony of the
\nscripture is that she felt like <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:34,200 –> 00:11:41,100
\nshe was deceived now as we are
\ntaught to do when we interpret <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:41,100 –> 00:11:43,800
\nthe Bible we let the Bible
\ninterpret itself now, Like to <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:43,808 –> 00:11:48,700
\nturn to a passage where Jesus
\ninterprets this for us and he <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:48,700 –> 00:11:52,200
\ninterprets it in such a way that
\nI think leaves us a lot that we <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:52,200 –> 00:11:56,500
\ncan learn and this is in his
\ninteraction with the Pharisees <\/p>\n

190
\n00:11:57,900 –> 00:12:00,100
\nknow sometimes we can have a
\nlook at the Bible and we make <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:00,100 –> 00:12:04,100
\nthe antagonist the other one and
\nwe are the protagonist for the <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:04,100 –> 00:12:06,000
\nmoment this morning.
\nI’d like you to perhaps put <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:06,000 –> 00:12:09,000
\nyourself into the Pharisees
\nshoes and maybe listen to the <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:09,000 –> 00:12:13,000
\nLord Jesus words as a rebuke as
\na bit of an excitation. <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:13,700 –> 00:12:22,400
\nJohn chapter 8 verses 43 to 45
\nYou can see the clear links here<\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:22,400 –> 00:12:28,200
\nto Genesis 3.
\nThe Lord Jesus said why do you <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:28,200 –> 00:12:30,400
\nnot understand what I say?
\nJust reading out? <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:30,400 –> 00:12:33,600
\nYes be here.
\nWhy do you not understand what I<\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:33,600 –> 00:12:37,100
\nsay it is because you cannot
\nbear with my word. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:37,800 –> 00:12:39,200
\nIt’s going to be important for
\nlater. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:39,500 –> 00:12:44,600
\nYou cannot bear to hear my word.
\nYou are of your father the devil<\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:45,200 –> 00:12:47,700
\nand your will is to do your
\nfather’s desires. <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:47,700 –> 00:12:50,400
\nHe was a murderer from the
\nbeginning and has nothing to do <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:50,400 –> 00:12:52,500
\nwith the truth because there is
\nno truth in him. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:53,400 –> 00:12:56,700
\nWhen he lies he speaks out of
\nhis own character for he is a <\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:56,700 –> 00:13:01,400
\nliar and the father of Lies, but
\nbecause I tell you the truth, <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:01,800 –> 00:13:08,500
\nyou do not believe me skip down
\nto verse 55 Jesus says, but you <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:08,500 –> 00:13:11,500
\nhave not known him, but I know
\nhim and if I were to say that I <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:11,508 –> 00:13:14,300
\ndo not know him.
\nI would be a liar like you but I<\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:14,300 –> 00:13:18,400
\ndo know him and I keep his word.
\nYou see how In this passage <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:18,400 –> 00:13:22,700
\nJesus juxtaposes himself with
\nthe Pharisees on the one hand he<\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:22,900 –> 00:13:26,800
\nFinds himself with the father
\nand unfortunately, he aligns the<\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:26,800 –> 00:13:30,700
\nPharisees with their father
\nwhere at least the figurehead in<\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:30,700 –> 00:13:35,000
\nwhich Jesus uses the devil or as
\nwe have in the Greek the die <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:35,000 –> 00:13:39,700
\nAbalos which means a slander or
\na false accuser or a liar and he<\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:39,700 –> 00:13:43,500
\nsays to them you are of your
\nfather the devil, you know, <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:43,500 –> 00:13:46,800
\nJesus and John the Baptist both
\nmake reference to this. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:46,800 –> 00:13:50,000
\nI believe when they both open
\ntheir Ministries by saying <\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:52,400 –> 00:13:56,500
\nRepent for the Kingdom of Heaven
\nis at hand. and when those came <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:56,500 –> 00:14:01,300
\nto him they both said You brood
\nof vipers. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:02,300 –> 00:14:04,700
\nOr in other terms, you little
\nsnakes. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:05,600 –> 00:14:09,100
\nSo what he said see he’s making
\na reference back to Genesis <\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:09,100 –> 00:14:12,400
\nchapter 3, he’s saying that
\nfundamentally the way that they <\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:12,400 –> 00:14:15,100
\nlive the way that they think the
\nway that they process <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:15,100 –> 00:14:19,100
\ninformation and make decisions
\nis just like that old serpent in<\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:19,100 –> 00:14:22,300
\nGenesis chapter 3, you know how
\nPaul calls it in Romans chapter <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:22,300 –> 00:14:26,400
\n8 the carnal mind.
\nHe says the carnal mind. <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:27,000 –> 00:14:30,900
\nIt’s a deceiver and as we had in
\nour meditation reading, thanks, <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:30,900 –> 00:14:34,700
\nNick.
\nChapter 12 all of that metonymy <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:34,700 –> 00:14:39,500
\ncomes into one verse all of
\nthose symbols from Genesis to <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:39,500 –> 00:14:43,200
\nRevelation the Lord Jesus in his
\nRevelation ties them all up in <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:43,200 –> 00:14:46,600
\nthe one verse and he makes it
\nabsolutely clear what we’re <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:46,600 –> 00:14:50,300
\nsupposed to understand when we
\nread things like The Serpent and<\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:50,300 –> 00:14:52,700
\nthe devil and Satan.
\nIt’s all tied up in this one <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:52,700 –> 00:14:58,200
\nverse look at verse 9.
\nIt says in the Great Dragon was <\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:58,200 –> 00:15:01,900
\nthrown down now if we have any
\nunderstanding of what they see <\/p>\n

237
\n00:15:01,900 –> 00:15:06,700
\nis that ancient serpent who is
\ncalled the devil and Satan the <\/p>\n

238
\n00:15:06,700 –> 00:15:10,200
\ndeceiver of the whole world.
\nHe was thrown down to the Earth <\/p>\n

239
\n00:15:10,200 –> 00:15:12,100
\nand his angels were thrown down
\nwith him. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:12,900 –> 00:15:16,800
\nHere’s a good news and I heard a
\nloud voice in heaven saying now <\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:16,800 –> 00:15:20,200
\nthe salvation and power and
\nKingdom of our God and the <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:20,200 –> 00:15:22,200
\nauthority of our Christ has
\ncome. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:23,800 –> 00:15:28,100
\nBut finish the verse for the
\naccuser of our brothers has been<\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:28,100 –> 00:15:32,300
\nthrown down who accuses them day
\nand night before God now we can <\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:32,300 –> 00:15:34,600
\nread the book of Revelation
\nthrough the historical <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:34,600 –> 00:15:37,300
\nunderstanding and try to
\nunderstand what this is saying <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:37,300 –> 00:15:41,000
\nin the big picture.
\nHowever Revelation is punctuated<\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:41,000 –> 00:15:44,800
\nwith these little moral
\nencouragement these little extra<\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:44,800 –> 00:15:49,500
\ndacians and I think that this is
\none of them he’s saying that <\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:49,500 –> 00:15:53,000
\nwe’re Eve felt that serpent had
\ndeceived me whatever that might <\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:53,000 –> 00:15:55,500
\nbe.
\nUltimately one day will be <\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:55,500 –> 00:15:59,000
\nconquered by the blood of this
\nman that we remember this <\/p>\n

253
\n00:15:59,000 –> 00:16:03,700
\nmorning.
\nPaul says Adam was not deceived <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:03,700 –> 00:16:08,000
\nbut the woman was deceived and
\nbecame a transgressor brothers <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:08,000 –> 00:16:12,100
\nand sisters fundamentally.
\nOur nature is a deceiver. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:12,600 –> 00:16:16,200
\nThe carnal mind is a deceiver.
\nAll we have to do is read how <\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:16,200 –> 00:16:20,300
\nJames describes James chapter 1
\nwhere he explains all that is in<\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:20,300 –> 00:16:24,700
\nthe world, which is what John
\nsays James says every man is <\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:24,700 –> 00:16:28,900
\ntempted when he is drawn away of
\nhis own lust and enticed and <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:28,900 –> 00:16:32,700
\nthen when lust has conceived it
\nbringeth Sport sin and sin when <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:32,700 –> 00:16:36,000
\nit is finished bringeth forth
\ndeath, if you know what he says <\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:36,000 –> 00:16:40,300
\nright after that we often don’t
\nfinish their because we often <\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:40,300 –> 00:16:43,300
\nfinish their because we think
\nthat in at least in my Bible the<\/p>\n

264
\n00:16:43,300 –> 00:16:46,100
\nparagraph goes to the next one.
\nLook at verse 16. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:16:46,100 –> 00:16:49,800
\nIt says do not be deceived my
\nbeloved Brothers. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:16:50,800 –> 00:16:54,000
\nHe see I wonder if James was
\nactually tying it to those <\/p>\n

267
\n00:16:54,000 –> 00:16:56,800
\nprevious verses that’s like a
\nmemory verse that’s when we get <\/p>\n

268
\n00:16:56,800 –> 00:17:00,300
\nin our foundations, but verse 16
\nis often not included. <\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:00,300 –> 00:17:04,300
\nI think it should.
\nBe included then desire when it <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:04,300 –> 00:17:08,599
\nhas conceived bringeth forth sin
\nand sin when it is fully grown <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:08,700 –> 00:17:12,800
\nbrings forth death do not be
\ndeceived my beloved Brothers. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:13,099 –> 00:17:16,500
\nYou see how James is appealing.
\nHe’s saying in light of this <\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:16,500 –> 00:17:19,500
\ndeception.
\nBe careful. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:21,700 –> 00:17:24,900
\nSin is a choice.
\nWe can choose not to be <\/p>\n

275
\n00:17:24,900 –> 00:17:27,300
\ndeceived.
\nIf we have our wits about us <\/p>\n

276
\n00:17:27,300 –> 00:17:30,200
\njust like I felt perhaps if I
\nhad my wits about me a little <\/p>\n

277
\n00:17:30,200 –> 00:17:31,900
\nbit more with the buying the
\ncar. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:17:31,900 –> 00:17:34,500
\nMaybe I would have picked up on
\nthe fact that there was only two<\/p>\n

279
\n00:17:34,500 –> 00:17:37,400
\npeople working there and there
\nwas a lot of cars in the thing <\/p>\n

280
\n00:17:37,400 –> 00:17:40,500
\nand he was very very fast to
\nsign the deal perhaps if I had <\/p>\n

281
\n00:17:40,500 –> 00:17:42,100
\nmy wits about me a little bit
\nmore. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:17:42,100 –> 00:17:44,600
\nI might not have been deceived
\nnever mind about cars that <\/p>\n

283
\n00:17:44,600 –> 00:17:46,700
\ndoesn’t matter.
\nYou know, it doesn’t matter. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:17:47,900 –> 00:17:51,900
\nWhen we sin before our God and
\nwe could have known it we could <\/p>\n

285
\n00:17:51,900 –> 00:17:55,400
\nhave known it and we didn’t
\nbecause we trusted our inner <\/p>\n

286
\n00:17:55,400 –> 00:17:57,800
\nsnake for lack of a better term
\nnow. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:17:57,800 –> 00:18:01,000
\nWhy do I feel that way?
\nBut you know Jeremiah 17:9 is <\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:01,000 –> 00:18:04,100
\nanother one of those memory
\nverses it says now the heart is <\/p>\n

289
\n00:18:04,100 –> 00:18:08,800
\ndeceitful above all things and
\ndesperately wicked who can know <\/p>\n

\n00:18:08,800 –> 00:18:15,000
\nit our And I’m sure like
\nNathaniel Susan her finding out <\/p>\n

291
\n00:18:15,000 –> 00:18:18,900
\nand as Nick and Hannah are about
\nto find out it’s amazing how <\/p>\n

\n00:18:18,900 –> 00:18:25,700
\nsoon in life this becomes
\napparent Shaw and I recently the<\/p>\n

293
\n00:18:25,700 –> 00:18:27,600
\nkids were having a bath and
\nrecently. <\/p>\n

294
\n00:18:28,000 –> 00:18:30,700
\nI was just just around the
\ncorner sitting on a chair and I <\/p>\n

295
\n00:18:30,700 –> 00:18:33,600
\nheard a loud cry and I ran into
\nthe ran in to see what was <\/p>\n

296
\n00:18:33,600 –> 00:18:36,500
\nhappening and Audrey immediately
\nsaid I didn’t just push a <\/p>\n

297
\n00:18:36,508 –> 00:18:39,600
\nLizabeth into the water.
\nSaid boy. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:18:39,600 –> 00:18:44,200
\nGee, I didn’t suggest that you
\ndid which was of course a dead <\/p>\n

299
\n00:18:44,200 –> 00:18:46,400
\ngiveaway, and I thought to
\nmyself Audrey. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:18:46,400 –> 00:18:48,100
\nI’ve never lied to you in my
\nlife. <\/p>\n

301
\n00:18:49,300 –> 00:18:51,800
\nBut it’s there.
\nIt’s there that <\/p>\n

302
\n00:18:51,800 –> 00:18:54,300
\nself-preservation that escaped
\nfrom guilt. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:18:54,300 –> 00:18:56,300
\nIt’s there.
\nWe want to make excuses. <\/p>\n

304
\n00:18:56,300 –> 00:18:58,700
\nIt was there in Genesis 3, they
\nall made excuses. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:18:58,700 –> 00:19:01,800
\nThey all pass the buck.
\nYou know what they needed to do.<\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:01,800 –> 00:19:05,700
\nYou know what we need to do.
\nWe need to accept it when we’ve <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:05,700 –> 00:19:09,600
\nbeen deceived especially when
\nit’s been by us and we stand <\/p>\n

308
\n00:19:09,600 –> 00:19:13,300
\nagainst our Holy Father.
\nWe need to be big enough to say <\/p>\n

309
\n00:19:14,300 –> 00:19:19,500
\nI did it and I come to you for
\nforgiveness and we can never <\/p>\n

310
\n00:19:19,500 –> 00:19:23,800
\nforget this.
\nThis is why the Bible describes <\/p>\n

311
\n00:19:23,800 –> 00:19:30,300
\nthis as a snake.
\nRomans 8 verse 7 says because <\/p>\n

312
\n00:19:30,300 –> 00:19:35,600
\nthe carnal mind is enmity with
\nGod for it is not subject to the<\/p>\n

313
\n00:19:35,600 –> 00:19:40,000
\nlaw of God and this is the part
\nthat’s most important neither <\/p>\n

314
\n00:19:40,000 –> 00:19:49,500
\nindeed can be Neither indeed can
\nbe our flesh is not subject to <\/p>\n

315
\n00:19:49,500 –> 00:19:53,500
\nthe will of God.
\nIt can’t be it has to be <\/p>\n

316
\n00:19:53,500 –> 00:19:56,600
\nreplaced by something else and
\nin the minutes and this young <\/p>\n

317
\n00:19:56,600 –> 00:20:00,300
\npeople will come to some
\nexamples in a minute here young <\/p>\n

318
\n00:20:00,300 –> 00:20:03,600
\npeople older people.
\nIt doesn’t change it might <\/p>\n

319
\n00:20:03,600 –> 00:20:08,000
\nchange form and The Temptations
\nmight modify, but fundamentally <\/p>\n

320
\n00:20:08,000 –> 00:20:13,300
\nthe snake is still there.
\nThat old serpent remains and you<\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:13,300 –> 00:20:15,200
\nknow what?
\nI like about that Romans 8 verse<\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:15,200 –> 00:20:16,600
\n7.
\nIt’s another call back to <\/p>\n

323
\n00:20:16,600 –> 00:20:19,600
\nGenesis 3 verse 15, isn’t it
\nthat enmity? <\/p>\n

324
\n00:20:19,700 –> 00:20:23,100
\nWhere did that enmity start its
\nGenesis 3:15 sanity. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:20:23,100 –> 00:20:26,200
\nIt’s the enmity that was between
\nthee and the woman and between <\/p>\n

326
\n00:20:26,200 –> 00:20:29,200
\nthy seed and her seed it’s
\nthere. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:20:30,400 –> 00:20:33,400
\nAnd Paul interpret it for us and
\ntells us exactly what it is that<\/p>\n

328
\n00:20:33,400 –> 00:20:36,900
\nserpent what it was supposed to
\nbe telling us what we’re <\/p>\n

329
\n00:20:36,900 –> 00:20:40,000
\nsupposed to learn from this the
\nreason why the Bible uses these <\/p>\n

330
\n00:20:40,000 –> 00:20:43,100
\nconsistent metaphors from start
\nto finish his because we’re <\/p>\n

331
\n00:20:43,100 –> 00:20:46,800
\nsupposed to see it for what it
\nis and that is the carnal mind. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:20:48,200 –> 00:20:50,500
\nNow we should know not to play
\nwith snakes shouldn’t be <\/p>\n

333
\n00:20:50,600 –> 00:20:53,500
\nespecially in Australia.
\nYou should think everything on <\/p>\n

334
\n00:20:53,500 –> 00:20:55,800
\nAustralia’s poisonous.
\nYou shouldn’t touch anything <\/p>\n

335
\n00:20:55,800 –> 00:20:59,400
\nthat’s reptilian in Australia.
\nNow, I used to have a snake. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:20:59,800 –> 00:21:03,500
\nI actually had a had a python
\nwhich to the many people’s <\/p>\n

337
\n00:21:03,500 –> 00:21:07,100
\nsurprise.
\nI did have a snake and and I had<\/p>\n

338
\n00:21:07,100 –> 00:21:10,600
\nto get rid of it once because I
\nstarted to trust it that a <\/p>\n

339
\n00:21:10,600 –> 00:21:13,700
\nlittle bit too comfortable with
\nit and I got bitten so I got rid<\/p>\n

\nof it in traded at the pet store
\nfor a chameleon which was Quite <\/p>\n

341
\n00:21:17,300 –> 00:21:22,900
\nharmless, but I remembered in
\nthis moment thinking and this <\/p>\n

342
\n00:21:22,900 –> 00:21:25,400
\nknow this is what we do by
\npeople in 5 weeks in our mind. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:21:25,400 –> 00:21:29,100
\nWe can’t help but think it I
\nthought you serpent that old <\/p>\n

\n00:21:29,100 –> 00:21:33,200

346
\n00:21:41,000 –> 00:21:44,700
\nWhat chances do you take?
\nYou know, I’ve thought about <\/p>\n

347
\n00:21:44,700 –> 00:21:49,700
\nthis a number of times.
\nYou know, we take the most <\/p>\n

348
\n00:21:49,900 –> 00:21:53,000
\ninsane risks with the carnal
\nmind. <\/p>\n

349

\nYoung people do you attend that

\nWell, there’s going to be <\/p>\n

\n00:22:02,600 –> 00:22:05,100
\ninappropriate behavior.

\nwhat our lord Jesus definitely <\/p>\n

365
\n00:23:11,800 –> 00:23:15,300
\nhad.
\nHe was aware of his nature. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:23:15,800 –> 00:23:18,400
\nHave you ever wondered why Jesus
\nwas so one of those things that <\/p>\n

367
\n00:23:18,400 –> 00:23:21,300
\nkind of bothered me for a lot of
\nyears when Jesus identifies <\/p>\n

368
\n00:23:21,300 –> 00:23:24,100
\nhimself with the serpent.
\nHe says just as Moses lifted up <\/p>\n

369
\n00:23:24,100 –> 00:23:27,200
\nthe serpent in the wilderness.
\nSo the son of man also must be <\/p>\n

370
\n00:23:27,200 –> 00:23:28,600
\nlifted up.
\nYou know, I think there’s a <\/p>\n

371
\n00:23:28,600 –> 00:23:32,900
\nsubtle excitation there.
\nHe’s saying I know what I am <\/p>\n

372
\n00:23:32,900 –> 00:23:36,400
\nmade of And he didn’t let the
\nflesh. <\/p>\n

373
\n00:23:36,500 –> 00:23:41,600
\nHe didn’t that serpent have one
\ninch he called on the board of <\/p>\n

374
\n00:23:41,600 –> 00:23:43,800
\nGod.
\nHe called on his father. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:23:43,900 –> 00:23:47,800
\nAnd in my opinion, we don’t have
\nany specific examples. <\/p>\n

376
\n00:23:47,800 –> 00:23:51,500
\nI could think maybe of one that
\nwhen he was confronted by great <\/p>\n

377
\n00:23:51,500 –> 00:23:54,400
\nTemptation.
\nI believe that he left <\/p>\n

378
\n00:23:54,400 –> 00:24:00,300
\nimmediately.
\nAt minimum minimum he called it <\/p>\n

379
\n00:24:00,300 –> 00:24:03,800
\nfor what it was, you know, those
\nTemptations in the wilderness <\/p>\n

380
\n00:24:04,000 –> 00:24:06,200
\nmost christadelphians interpret
\nthe Temptations in the <\/p>\n

381
\n00:24:06,200 –> 00:24:10,700
\nwilderness as being a
\nmetaphorical record of the fight<\/p>\n

382
\n00:24:10,700 –> 00:24:14,600
\nthat was happening Inside the
\nMind of the Lord now, depending <\/p>\n

383
\n00:24:14,600 –> 00:24:17,700
\non whatever your take is on that
\nfundamentally whether it’s <\/p>\n

384
\n00:24:17,700 –> 00:24:22,200
\nexternal or internal
\nfundamentally at some point they<\/p>\n

385
\n00:24:22,200 –> 00:24:24,800
\nwere real Temptations for the
\nLord himself. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:24:25,700 –> 00:24:28,500
\nWhat are you do?
\nHe’s sleuthing with the word of <\/p>\n

387
\n00:24:28,500 –> 00:24:31,900
\nGod.
\nHe slew the serpent with the <\/p>\n

388
\n00:24:31,900 –> 00:24:38,200
\nword of God.
\nHe knew and he took action, you <\/p>\n

389
\n00:24:38,200 –> 00:24:44,500
\nknow, when I think about how
\nwhen I think about how the how <\/p>\n

390
\n00:24:44,600 –> 00:24:48,200
\nSolomon reflects on his life
\noften in the proverbs? <\/p>\n

391
\n00:24:49,300 –> 00:24:51,500
\nHe writes about some of the
\nTemptations that were strong to <\/p>\n

392
\n00:24:51,500 –> 00:24:54,300
\nhim that perhaps were strong to
\nsome of you here today. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:24:56,000 –> 00:25:00,500
\nAnd he says can a man carry fire
\nnext to his chest and his <\/p>\n

394
\n00:25:00,500 –> 00:25:04,600
\nclothes not be burned or can one
\nwalk on hot coals and his feet <\/p>\n

395
\n00:25:04,600 –> 00:25:08,500
\nnot be scorched.
\nCan’t play with snake. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:25:10,100 –> 00:25:13,500
\nNot like I did.
\nUnfortunately, not like <\/p>\n

397
\n00:25:13,500 –> 00:25:19,100
\nsometimes we all do.
\nPaul says another one of these <\/p>\n

398
\n00:25:19,100 –> 00:25:22,700
\ntimes.
\nHe says do not be deceived Bad <\/p>\n

399
\n00:25:22,700 –> 00:25:28,200
\nCompany ruins who character Bad
\nCompany ruins good character. <\/p>\n

400
\n00:25:28,400 –> 00:25:30,800
\nWhy does he say that?
\nWhy does he say don’t be <\/p>\n

401
\n00:25:30,800 –> 00:25:34,300
\ndeceived because it’s easy for
\nus to tell ourselves that it <\/p>\n

402
\n00:25:34,300 –> 00:25:45,700
\nwon’t but it will you see when
\nwhen Moses gave Israel the <\/p>\n

403
\n00:25:45,700 –> 00:25:51,100
\ninstructions before going into
\nCanaan he said this Take care. <\/p>\n

404
\n00:25:51,800 –> 00:25:56,700
\nTake care lest your heart be
\ndeceived unless you turn aside <\/p>\n

405
\n00:25:56,700 –> 00:25:59,000
\nto serve other gods and worship
\nthem. <\/p>\n

406
\n00:26:01,600 –> 00:26:04,900
\nSee, it’s the same message.
\nThe Bible has been giving the <\/p>\n

407
\n00:26:04,900 –> 00:26:09,100
\nsame message to his people for
\nthousands of years. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:26:09,700 –> 00:26:12,100
\nBe careful.
\nDon’t be deceived. <\/p>\n

409
\n00:26:12,600 –> 00:26:16,400
\nIt’s within you.
\nAnd if you hang around dogs, <\/p>\n

410
\n00:26:16,700 –> 00:26:19,500
\nyou’re gonna get fleas or at
\nleast that’s what my dad used to<\/p>\n

411
\n00:26:19,500 –> 00:26:22,000
\nsay.
\nAnd you know what? <\/p>\n

412
\n00:26:22,000 –> 00:26:26,000
\nI’m really thankful for as we
\nturn turn our thoughts to the <\/p>\n

413
\n00:26:26,000 –> 00:26:29,400
\nantidote to all of this.
\nI’m thankful as much as I’m <\/p>\n

414
\n00:26:29,400 –> 00:26:32,400
\nthankful for the memory verse of
\nJeremiah 17:9. <\/p>\n

415
\n00:26:34,000 –> 00:26:36,300
\nI’m thankful for the one that
\nwasn’t in the memory verse which<\/p>\n

416
\n00:26:36,300 –> 00:26:40,400
\nis Jeremiah 17 10 like you to
\nturn there for just a moment. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:26:47,300 –> 00:26:52,600
\nAlthough Jeremiah 17:9 describes
\nwhat your heart and my heart is <\/p>\n

418
\n00:26:52,600 –> 00:26:56,100
\nlife.
\nI’m thankful for verse 10 which <\/p>\n

419
\n00:26:56,100 –> 00:27:02,700
\nsays but I Yahweh search the
\nheart and test the mind to give <\/p>\n

420
\n00:27:02,700 –> 00:27:06,000
\neveryone according to his ways.
\nIt’s very similar to the way <\/p>\n

421
\n00:27:06,000 –> 00:27:10,400
\nthat David implores God in Psalm
\n139 where he says search me o <\/p>\n

422
\n00:27:10,400 –> 00:27:13,700
\nGod, no my heart.
\nTry me and see if there is any <\/p>\n

423
\n00:27:13,700 –> 00:27:17,000
\nwicked way with in me and Lead
\nMe in the way Everlasting. <\/p>\n

424
\n00:27:17,800 –> 00:27:21,600
\nThe good news this morning is
\nthat with this Bible and with <\/p>\n

425
\n00:27:21,600 –> 00:27:26,200
\nthe help of Our Lord, we can
\nnavigate that carnal mind and we<\/p>\n

426
\n00:27:26,200 –> 00:27:29,500
\ncan conquer it with the
\nspiritual mind, which is the <\/p>\n

427
\n00:27:29,500 –> 00:27:34,400
\nwhole purpose of Romans 5 to 8
\ndescribing that helping us <\/p>\n

428
\n00:27:34,400 –> 00:27:37,700
\nunderstand what it’s like so
\nlook at Jen at Galatians chapter<\/p>\n

429
\n00:27:37,700 –> 00:27:45,600
\n6 verse verse 3.
\nWe do have two options and we <\/p>\n

430
\n00:27:45,600 –> 00:27:49,400
\ncome here every Sunday to being
\nH in the second relations <\/p>\n

431
\n00:27:49,400 –> 00:27:54,900
\nchapter 6 and verse 3 says if
\nanyone thinks that he is <\/p>\n

432
\n00:27:54,900 –> 00:27:59,500
\nsomething when he is nothing he
\ndeceives himself. <\/p>\n

433
\n00:28:00,000 –> 00:28:02,500
\nSo what do we do when we realize
\nthat we are nothing. <\/p>\n

434
\n00:28:02,700 –> 00:28:08,000
\nWe’ll skip down to verse 7 and 8
\nwhere it says. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:28:09,800 –> 00:28:14,600
\nDo not be deceived.
\nGod is Not mocked for whoever <\/p>\n

436
\n00:28:14,600 –> 00:28:19,000
\nso’s that which he will also
\nreap for the one who sews to his<\/p>\n

437
\n00:28:19,000 –> 00:28:21,800
\nown flesh Will from The Flesh
\nreap corruption. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:28:21,900 –> 00:28:23,700
\nAnd that is true.
\nAnd that’s what we’ve been <\/p>\n

439
\n00:28:23,700 –> 00:28:28,200
\ntalking about up until now but
\nwhen we sow to the spirit, when <\/p>\n

440
\n00:28:28,200 –> 00:28:32,200
\nwe invest in this word, when we
\ninvest in our usual activities, <\/p>\n

441
\n00:28:32,500 –> 00:28:36,000
\nwhen we meditate and pray and
\nfocus on the things of the <\/p>\n

442
\n00:28:36,000 –> 00:28:39,500
\nspirit, the rest of the verse is
\ntrue the one who sews to the <\/p>\n

443
\n00:28:39,900 –> 00:28:42,600
\nWill from the spirit reap
\neternal life. <\/p>\n

444
\n00:28:43,700 –> 00:28:47,800
\nWe can choose what we feed.
\nWhat is it that we encourage? <\/p>\n

445
\n00:28:47,800 –> 00:28:51,700
\nWhat is it that we feed?
\nWell Hebrews chapter 3 verses 12<\/p>\n

446
\n00:28:51,700 –> 00:28:54,000
\nto 14 describes it in another
\nway. <\/p>\n

447
\n00:29:07,900 –> 00:29:13,400
\nHere’s 3 verse 12.
\nAgain, a common common verse <\/p>\n

448
\n00:29:13,400 –> 00:29:15,600
\nthat we all know.
\nTake care. <\/p>\n

449
\n00:29:15,700 –> 00:29:20,100
\nMy brother’s lest there be in
\nany of you an evil unbelieving <\/p>\n

450
\n00:29:20,100 –> 00:29:24,000
\nheart leading you to fall away
\nfrom the Living God, but and <\/p>\n

451
\n00:29:24,000 –> 00:29:28,500
\nthis is why we’re here this
\nmorning, but exhort one another <\/p>\n

452
\n00:29:29,300 –> 00:29:34,800
\nevery day so long as it is
\ncalled today that none of you be<\/p>\n

453
\n00:29:34,800 –> 00:29:37,100
\nhardened by the deceitfulness of
\nsin. <\/p>\n

454
\n00:29:38,100 –> 00:29:40,600
\nFor we have come to share in
\nChrist. <\/p>\n

455
\n00:29:40,700 –> 00:29:44,200
\nIf indeed we hold our original
\nconfidence firm to the end. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:29:44,400 –> 00:29:47,200
\nNow the reason why I think that
\nverse is encouraging although it<\/p>\n

457
\n00:29:47,200 –> 00:29:51,800
\nmight feel like it’s a negative
\nverse is that wasn’t true and if<\/p>\n

458
\n00:29:51,800 –> 00:29:54,300
\nit wasn’t possible.
\nHe wouldn’t say that the <\/p>\n

459
\n00:29:54,300 –> 00:29:58,500
\nexcitation will work but it does
\nwork when we come together and <\/p>\n

460
\n00:29:58,500 –> 00:30:02,900
\nencourage one another we throw
\noff the deceitfulness of sin <\/p>\n

461
\n00:30:03,100 –> 00:30:05,800
\nbecause we’re listening to The
\nVoice of Truth and we’re <\/p>\n

462
\n00:30:05,800 –> 00:30:09,300
\nreminding ourselves and so
\nthat’s He encourages them to <\/p>\n

463
\n00:30:09,300 –> 00:30:12,800
\nexhort one another lest.
\nWe be hardened. <\/p>\n

464
\n00:30:13,000 –> 00:30:16,700
\nIt doesn’t have to be the case.
\nWe just have to be able to know <\/p>\n

465
\n00:30:16,900 –> 00:30:21,600
\nwhen it happens by gazing into
\nGod’s mirror as we’ve mentioned <\/p>\n

466
\n00:30:21,600 –> 00:30:24,000
\nbefore.
\nSo let’s turn to Ephesians <\/p>\n

467
\n00:30:24,000 –> 00:30:29,400
\nchapter 4, which was our second
\nreading Ephesians 4 and we’ll <\/p>\n

468
\n00:30:29,400 –> 00:30:48,700
\nlook at verses 20 to 24.
\nOkay, now first the excitation <\/p>\n

469
\n00:30:48,700 –> 00:30:53,800
\npeace, but that is not the way
\nyou learn Christ assuming that <\/p>\n

470
\n00:30:53,800 –> 00:30:57,400
\nyou have heard about him and
\nwe’re taught of him as the truth<\/p>\n

471
\n00:30:57,400 –> 00:31:02,600
\nis in Jesus to put off your old
\nself which belongs to the former<\/p>\n

472
\n00:31:02,600 –> 00:31:05,700
\nmanner of life.
\nAnd is corrupt through deceitful<\/p>\n

473
\n00:31:05,700 –> 00:31:08,800
\ndesires.
\nBut here’s the antidote. <\/p>\n

474
\n00:31:09,800 –> 00:31:15,300
\nBut to be renewed in the spirit
\nof your minds and to put on the <\/p>\n

475
\n00:31:15,300 –> 00:31:19,700
\nnew self that is created after
\nthe likeness of God in true <\/p>\n

476
\n00:31:19,700 –> 00:31:25,300
\nrighteousness and true Holiness.
\nHe Echoes what James said that <\/p>\n

477
\n00:31:25,300 –> 00:31:27,800
\nwe’ve read before in James
\nchapter 1 if you just get down <\/p>\n

478
\n00:31:27,800 –> 00:31:32,600
\nto verse 27 give no opportunity
\nto the devil be not deceived. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:31:32,700 –> 00:31:36,200
\nWe don’t have to let the serpent
\nhave rule over our life because <\/p>\n

480
\n00:31:36,200 –> 00:31:40,100
\nwe have the mind of Christ and
\nwe come here to be Build up <\/p>\n

481
\n00:31:40,100 –> 00:31:44,000
\nevery week in that mind of
\nChrist, but we can’t do it <\/p>\n

482
\n00:31:44,000 –> 00:31:47,300
\nunless we know what we have to
\nknow what we’ve become and <\/p>\n

483
\n00:31:47,300 –> 00:31:49,600
\nwhat’s available.
\nWe have to know what we are by <\/p>\n

484
\n00:31:49,600 –> 00:31:53,300
\nNature.
\nTest everything brothers and <\/p>\n

485
\n00:31:53,300 –> 00:31:55,700
\nsisters and cleave to that which
\nis good. <\/p>\n

486
\n00:31:56,100 –> 00:31:59,000
\nIf we ever stop fighting we
\nalready lost. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:32:00,600 –> 00:32:03,200
\nWe need to practice that
\nnarrative in our mind get thee <\/p>\n

488
\n00:32:03,200 –> 00:32:07,800
\nbehind me Satan for you are not
\nsetting your mind on the things <\/p>\n

489
\n00:32:07,800 –> 00:32:11,600
\nof God.
\nThat’s what we have to ask <\/p>\n

490
\n00:32:11,600 –> 00:32:15,900
\nourselves in every decision we
\nmake Is this decision being made<\/p>\n

491
\n00:32:15,900 –> 00:32:17,900
\nby setting our minds on the
\nthings of God? <\/p>\n

492
\n00:32:18,700 –> 00:32:24,100
\nWe’re on the things of the
\nflesh. and when we do that like <\/p>\n

493
\n00:32:24,100 –> 00:32:30,400
\nhappened for for the Lord Jesus
\nand as we get exhorted It says <\/p>\n

494
\n00:32:30,500 –> 00:32:34,300
\nthen the devil left him it says
\nthen the devil left him. <\/p>\n

495
\n00:32:35,600 –> 00:32:40,100
\nAnd just like it will for us.
\nJames says resist the devil and <\/p>\n

496
\n00:32:40,100 –> 00:32:42,700
\nhe will flee from you.
\nWe don’t always have to be the <\/p>\n

497
\n00:32:42,700 –> 00:32:45,600
\nones on the Run put the Flesh on
\nthe Run. <\/p>\n

498
\n00:32:46,400 –> 00:32:51,800
\nWe’ve got a mighty savior who
\nhas the answer to every lie that<\/p>\n

499
\n00:32:51,800 –> 00:32:55,100
\nare natural Minds will tell us
\nwe just have to be able to <\/p>\n

500
\n00:32:55,100 –> 00:32:58,600
\nlisten to his answer.
\nLook at Matthew chapter 15 <\/p>\n

501
\n00:32:58,600 –> 00:33:21,600
\nverses 18 to 20.
\nBut what comes out of the mouth <\/p>\n

502
\n00:33:21,600 –> 00:33:25,600
\nproceeds from the heart and this
\ndefiles a person for out of the <\/p>\n

503
\n00:33:25,600 –> 00:33:30,600
\nheart come evil thoughts murder
\nadultery sexual immorality theft<\/p>\n

504
\n00:33:30,600 –> 00:33:32,100
\nfalse.
\nListen slandered. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:33:32,200 –> 00:33:36,800
\nThese are what defile a person
\nand if we’re on guard for when <\/p>\n

506
\n00:33:36,800 –> 00:33:41,000
\nthose seeds start to come they
\nwill never Sprout at all. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:33:41,800 –> 00:33:46,000
\nThey will be conquered by the
\nmind of Christ being renewed by <\/p>\n

508
\n00:33:46,000 –> 00:33:50,400
\nthe spirit of our minds those
\nwho belong to Christ brothers <\/p>\n

509
\n00:33:50,400 –> 00:33:55,100
\nand sisters do what he did which
\nis why he said the Moses had to <\/p>\n

510
\n00:33:55,100 –> 00:33:57,200
\nlift up the bronze serpent in
\nthe wilderness. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:33:57,300 –> 00:34:01,300
\nSo he would also be lifted up.
\nSo Galatians chapter 5 says <\/p>\n

512
\n00:34:01,300 –> 00:34:05,300
\nthose who belong to Christ Jesus
\nhave crucified the flesh with <\/p>\n

513
\n00:34:05,300 –> 00:34:08,900
\nits passions and desires.
\nSo our expectation this morning <\/p>\n

514
\n00:34:08,900 –> 00:34:14,000
\nis that we would do that.
\nSo what’s the good news Well <\/p>\n

515
\n00:34:14,000 –> 00:34:17,100
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nUnfortunately, it doesn’t always<\/p>\n

516
\n00:34:17,100 –> 00:34:20,199
\nhappen and sometimes we get
\nbitten by the snake, don’t we? <\/p>\n

517
\n00:34:21,400 –> 00:34:26,100
\nWell, there’s another lie that I
\nthink we possibly carry into <\/p>\n

518
\n00:34:26,100 –> 00:34:29,900
\nevery Sunday morning, which is
\nthat the sins that we have <\/p>\n

519
\n00:34:29,900 –> 00:34:33,900
\ncommitted that the times that we
\nhave been bitten by the snake <\/p>\n

520
\n00:34:35,000 –> 00:34:37,199
\nthat we carry them in on a
\nSunday and we’re going to carry <\/p>\n

521
\n00:34:37,199 –> 00:34:40,600
\nthem out now.
\nThey’re 0 way at all that I’m <\/p>\n

522
\n00:34:40,600 –> 00:34:44,100
\nmaking a reference to any sort
\nof a transactional anything to <\/p>\n

523
\n00:34:44,100 –> 00:34:48,199
\ndo with this but in a
\nmetaphorical sense, we need to <\/p>\n

524
\n00:34:48,199 –> 00:34:54,400
\nleave here knowing that Christ.
\nThe serpent he crushed it and as<\/p>\n

525
\n00:34:54,400 –> 00:34:57,900
\nhe will even though it bites us
\nhe will crush it in his <\/p>\n

526
\n00:34:57,900 –> 00:35:03,100
\nrighteousness turn to First John
\nchapter 3 and look at verse 7 <\/p>\n

527
\n00:35:03,100 –> 00:35:12,500
\nand 8 first John chapter 3
\nverses 7 and 8. <\/p>\n

528
\n00:35:12,500 –> 00:35:15,600
\nThis is another one of those
\nones that just surprised me, but<\/p>\n

529
\n00:35:15,600 –> 00:35:18,800
\nI was so thankful that it did
\nFirst John 3 verse 7. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:35:20,700 –> 00:35:25,800
\nIt says little children.
\nLet no one deceive you. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:35:27,200 –> 00:35:32,300
\nWhoever practices righteousness
\nis righteous. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:35:34,000 –> 00:35:39,300
\nJust as he is righteous, whoever
\nmakes the practice of sinning is<\/p>\n

533
\n00:35:39,300 –> 00:35:41,900
\nof the devil just like we
\nstarted in that early reading <\/p>\n

534
\n00:35:42,100 –> 00:35:45,300
\nfor the devil has been sinning
\nfrom the beginning but look at <\/p>\n

535
\n00:35:45,300 –> 00:35:47,400
\nthe end of the verse.
\nThe reason the Son of God <\/p>\n

536
\n00:35:47,400 –> 00:35:51,800
\nappeared was to destroy the
\nworks of the devil and no one <\/p>\n

537
\n00:35:51,800 –> 00:35:56,000
\nborn of God makes a practice of
\nsinning for God’s seed. <\/p>\n

538
\n00:35:56,000 –> 00:36:00,000
\nThat’s the other seed from
\nGenesis 3 God’s seed abides in <\/p>\n

539
\n00:36:00,000 –> 00:36:05,400
\nhim and he cannot keep sinning
\nbecause he has Born of God. <\/p>\n

540
\n00:36:06,000 –> 00:36:09,200
\nSo for those of us who make a
\npractice, it doesn’t mean we’re <\/p>\n

541
\n00:36:09,200 –> 00:36:11,700
\nperfect.
\nBut when our life is patterned <\/p>\n

542
\n00:36:11,700 –> 00:36:14,000
\nafter Christ and we make a
\npractice. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:36:14,000 –> 00:36:17,900
\nThat’s why I like how the ESD
\nputs it King James sound sounds <\/p>\n

544
\n00:36:17,900 –> 00:36:20,100
\ntoo black and white.
\nIt can’t be that way. <\/p>\n

545
\n00:36:20,800 –> 00:36:25,100
\nWhoever makes a practice of
\ndoing righteousness is <\/p>\n

546
\n00:36:25,200 –> 00:36:28,300
\nrighteous.
\nWhy because of the New Covenant <\/p>\n

547
\n00:36:28,500 –> 00:36:32,600
\nthe Lord our righteousness that
\nwhen we have faith it’s imputed <\/p>\n

548
\n00:36:32,600 –> 00:36:36,500
\nto us.
\nFor righteousness and we are <\/p>\n

549
\n00:36:36,500 –> 00:36:39,900
\nrighteous and we can leave here
\nbecause we know that he came to <\/p>\n

550
\n00:36:39,900 –> 00:36:43,600
\ndestroy the works of the devil
\nand we are here to learn how to <\/p>\n

551
\n00:36:43,700 –> 00:36:47,000
\nlearn rather how to follow in
\nhis steps. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:36:47,800 –> 00:36:51,300
\nLet no one there for Colossians
\nchapter 2 and this is what I <\/p>\n

553
\n00:36:51,308 –> 00:36:55,000
\nwant to encourage you with whole
\nbeginning is true. <\/p>\n

554
\n00:36:55,100 –> 00:36:59,300
\nBut let no one beguile you Paul
\nuses those very words in <\/p>\n

555
\n00:36:59,300 –> 00:37:02,200
\nColossians 2 Verse 18, just like
\nthe serpent. <\/p>\n

556
\n00:37:02,400 –> 00:37:07,800
\nLet no one but God.
\nYou of your reward by thinking <\/p>\n

557
\n00:37:07,800 –> 00:37:13,800
\nwe have to learn this it says
\nthrough voluntary humility and <\/p>\n

558
\n00:37:13,800 –> 00:37:16,200
\nworshipping of angels
\nintroducing into those things <\/p>\n

559
\n00:37:16,200 –> 00:37:19,600
\nwhich have seen vainly puffed up
\nin his own fleshly mind. <\/p>\n

560
\n00:37:19,800 –> 00:37:23,800
\nHe’s talking about that feel
\nthat we also naturally have that<\/p>\n

561
\n00:37:23,800 –> 00:37:26,200
\nwe have to be perfectly
\nrighteous. <\/p>\n

562
\n00:37:26,200 –> 00:37:30,000
\nIn order for us to be attained
\nrighteousness and Paul describes<\/p>\n

563
\n00:37:30,000 –> 00:37:32,900
\nit for his own self and says sin
\ntaking occasion by the <\/p>\n

564
\n00:37:32,900 –> 00:37:35,500
\nCommandment.
\nDeceived me and slew me. <\/p>\n

565
\n00:37:36,900 –> 00:37:41,000
\ntherefore brothers and sisters
\ndon’t throw away your <\/p>\n

566
\n00:37:41,000 –> 00:37:43,200
\nconfidence, which has great
\nreward. <\/p>\n

567
\n00:37:44,200 –> 00:37:46,900
\nFor you have need of endurance
\nso that when you have done the <\/p>\n

568
\n00:37:46,900 –> 00:37:52,000
\nwill of God you may receive what
\nis Promised don’t throw away <\/p>\n

569
\n00:37:52,100 –> 00:37:55,600
\nyour confidence.
\nHe is righteous. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:37:56,000 –> 00:37:59,000
\nHe lived the perfect life of
\nrighteousness and he crushed the<\/p>\n

571
\n00:37:59,000 –> 00:38:02,200
\nhead of the serpent under his
\nfeet because he knew that we <\/p>\n

572
\n00:38:02,200 –> 00:38:06,200
\nwouldn’t be able to but he’s
\nleft us an example that we might<\/p>\n

573
\n00:38:06,200 –> 00:38:12,200
\nfollow in his steps.
\nHe said I’m coming soon hold <\/p>\n

574
\n00:38:12,200 –> 00:38:16,300
\nfast to what you have and let no
\none sees your crown. <\/p>\n

575
\n00:38:17,800 –> 00:38:22,400
\nBut I say to you this morning is
\nnot even yourself in either of <\/p>\n

576
\n00:38:22,400 –> 00:38:27,400
\nthose two ways that one we
\nforget what we are by nature and<\/p>\n

577
\n00:38:27,400 –> 00:38:32,200
\nto we forget what he has become
\nby the gift of God and when we <\/p>\n

578
\n00:38:32,200 –> 00:38:35,700
\nreceive those two things we can
\nleave here living the life that <\/p>\n

579
\n00:38:35,700 –> 00:38:39,100
\nChrist has left us an example
\nfor and we can leave here <\/p>\n

580
\n00:38:39,200 –> 00:38:44,100
\ndeclared righteous by the Lord
\nour righteousness and that we <\/p>\n

581
\n00:38:44,100 –> 00:38:46,100
\nwon’t throw away our great
\nreward. <\/p>\n
