Speaker 1

It's all right to cry, so right to fall on your face and to cry out to him for help, because he's the only one that can help. Then there will come a place, will peace reign in your heart.

Speaker 2

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilot, was crucified, dead and buried. The third day he rose from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From thence he shall come to judge

the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Speaker 1

Amen. We are excited on this Sunday morning, be able to come back with you all as we explore the Word of the Lord. For the word of the Lord is powerful, that it's mighty, and we are delighted to be ABU bring you the scriptures before we get into scriptures today, when we get into our study, before we get into our preachment I want us to take a few moments to just close our eyes and to think of a few things that we are grateful for for gratitude, and it's for as much as going on in the world,

we have so much to be thankful. Take a nice breath in and just be grateful for the ability to breathe, grateful for the ability to think. Grateful for for another. There's some families that are probably going through some difficulties. Let us get our mind's eye on them and just pray that God would send us for comfort. Let them know that they're not by themselves. Although they might be alone in their apartments, they might be alone in theirs, they might be attempting to pull the pieces of life

back together again, but they are not alone. Gratefully, lod got to thank you for another day and thank you for your words. We pray that these words would bring life and healing to those who listen, and that you would get the glory out of all that we do. In Jesus's name. Bay God and a man Romans. We started and we talked about the five threes one through five, and we talked about the progression patience work experience, work

makes no shame. The love of God is spread abroad in the heart and our hearts by the aid of the Holy Spirit, which is given to us through Christ. And he starts with by fame, we are justified by faith. I want to begin at the sixth verse six, seven and eight. For when we were yet without strength, in due time, Christ died for the ungotten, for scarcely a righteous man. Will one die yet preadventure for a good man.

Someone even did to die. But God commended his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ for us. God yet commends his love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ dies for us. As we look at the unfolding of Pole's mindset when it relates to what makes a believer have access to God? With grants a believer peace with God? What grants a

believer hope with God? With grants a believer oneness with God, he is faced with the obstacle of understanding that humanity in itself is flawed, that humanity in itself is flawed. So now, how do we operate in knowing that all humans are bored, or humans are sinful or have a sin nature? How do we operate within the paradigms of us being one with God, or having peace with God, or having knowledge of God, or of being just by God, or having access to Him who is transcending and holy.

And I know myself that I am not transcendent, that I am not holy, that I am none of these things. So I have to find a way to reconcile where I am personally and where He has shown me I should be. Positionally, where I am personally and where I am seen to be or declared to be. Positionally, my personal being is the things that I do, the place that he faces me and is his own decree. He defrees my righteousness, Therefore I'm right. He decrees my peace.

Therefore I have peace. He defrees my access, and yet therefore I have access because the same one who deprees my peace, the same one who decrees says, the same one who decrees my justice, also decreed that the world would come into existence through his words. His words are good, His words establishes. So it is now his word that establishes me and decrees me to be what he declares me to be. He declares me to be right with him. It doesn't matter if I don't feel right. The declaration

is over my head. Doesn't matter if a seasons I may not act right. The declarations are over my head. He gives us sistic knowing that we would struggle with the decree that is over our heads and the thing that he declares us to be. The fight is not his declaration over my life. The fight is what I at, what I'm doing with my life. The fight is never the declaration I'm declared to be right, But the fighter is the fact that I don't feel rights don't align

with the decree that he has over my life. When you look at certain instances in life and stories where we see people come into major funds, they may hit the lottery and they win millions, sometimes thousands, sometimes millions of dollars after taxes, and the declaration is that they are a millionaire. But their actions may not align with the declaration. In this instance, their actions will reduced their finances.

And I believe the number was in the high eighties percent of people that win the lotto actually go back to where their mindset was. But this is not what happens in God. Although my mind is not what he declares me to be, he doesn't allow my mind to retrace his declaration to where I am. He doesn't allow my low grade thinking to change his declaration over my life.

I'm so glad that, unlike in finances, or unlike in relationships, or unlike in health conditions, my mind can control my subconscious and allow my subconscious to bring me to the outcome that I desire in the subconscious mind. So if I'm thinking low grade thinking in the area of finances, although my bank account declares that I'm a millionaire, my mind will allow my bank account to retrace back to where I am at mentally. But that does not work

in his declarations over our lives. See, what he declares is stagnant and it is standing on his promises. So although a conscious mind is telling me I'm not worthy of peace, I'm not worthy of access, I'm not worthy to be just by my faith, he does not waver by what I don't believe. He just continues to bless me until I do believe. He works with the believer to get the believer to the place where our belief

is in the line with his declaration. Works with us through the fire, He gets in the fire, with us, through the flood. He gets in the flood with us, through the famine, he gets into famine with us, and in the famine he makes a way out of no way. So we start to make slogans like he make a way out of no way. He's brag the famine when I'm hungry, that health conditions that will sel punctures, will say, how can I have peace when my body is wrapped

with pain? And He'll get there in the body and in pain and allow us to come away with declarations as if he's a doctor in the sick room. He moves me now from one level of faith to another level of faith. He does not allow my low level of faith impact the declaration that he has over my life. So what maybe some of the things that would allow me to think that he doesn't know about me? What would be some thing that will impact in my mind's

how he feels about me. My acts in seasons or at times are now god My words are not god like at times, my thought processes are not godlike. At times I can just get out of prayer and get angry. At times I have a hard time of forgiving people. I have a hard time of judging people. I'm just not where I want to be. I maybe struggling in areas in my life that I am ashamed of. So how can he make the decree over my life when

I'm struggling? Get to scriptures like this for when we were yet without strength, in due time, Christ died for the ungodly. Know that this is all encompassing with Chapter five one, verses one through six. This is all encompassing

with Romans one, two, three, four, and five. This is not an isolated text, meaning that everything that he wrote before it was leading to this, and everything that he writes after the text is a continuation of everything that he wrote before, and everything that we're looking at right now, and everything that he will write later on. In so much so that every other boat that he writes aligns with this thought process. That God did not die for

righteous people. He died for ungodly people who were lacking while I was without strength. This word strength is not the physical of the body. This word strength implies the spiritual lack, the spiritual dehydration that we are born in. Man is born into sin and shapen in iniquity. That's why man understands our short comings and we keep our shirt comings before us Jesus in fact, when he teaches about forgiveness and he teaches about humanity, and it gives

his achromorphic statement and declaration. He says, you're busy looking at the mote, which means a little speckle of dust in your someone else's eye, instead of focusing in on the being, which is a big a piece of wood that becomes the foundation portion of a building. When you're on the floor, you're standing not on wood, not on a rug, you're standing on beans. The beans now goes into the skits of the wall to you'll support for

the foundation. And what he's saying is you're looking, you sinner, looking at the struggle of dust in someone else's eye while you ignore the big bean in your eye that should impede you from looking at someone else. What are you trying to say? That you're ungodly and every time

you look out, you look through untodly eyes. If it had not been for his faith that he gives us and grants us as a gift, if it had not been for his son that he's sent to die on our behalf, we would only have our beans to look at and behold in our eyes. But the reason why we look at someone else's note else is specle of us.

The reason why we measure their sins to our sins, the reason why we measure other people lives to our lives, is because when we really lay down in our beds at night, we know that we don't fit the bill. We are spiritually without strength, for when we were yet without strength. What happens in due time? Some writings would say at the set time or at the appointed time, so that you won't think that Christ just died out of chance. Oh, it was the set time. It was

the due time. It was the right time. Stars had been predicted to aligne the night that he was born, and the Israelites had been placed in Rome when it was time for his death. It wasn't by chance that the Israelites were under the rule of the Roman Empire, who would use capital punishment hanging on the tree, because the scriptures would predict that first is the man that hang on the tree. As you look throughout all of Jewish literature, you will see that they were summons to

stone to death. They were summoned to use are the forms of capital punishment. But the Christ now comes at the set time where they were under someone else's rulership. They were not their role nation. They were a nation of people abiding by spiritual laws of their ancestors, but they were governed by Roman Empire, goven by Romans laws. The sat time when they send Christ to there was a discrepancy because the Romans didn't understand the laws by

which Christ was guilty of. He was guilty not according to Roman law. That's why he sends them back. They're sending them back and forth because they didn't understand that they were governing, they were being governed by a greater decree, greater law. In fact, they were so confused, the scholars in their top they were so confused. They couldn't bring him the trial because he was not guilty of any kind of laws against their social laws against their government.

He was guilty of laws that they didn't understand. But they knew that they had a man in custody who was a murderer. He was seditious, he was a robber. They could wrap their mind around that it actually the place of the cross was set for him in their mind because they didn't understand that this was set tone. His wife wakes up and has a dream and she says the man that you're holding, the man that they

want to crucify, he's holy, nothing's wrong with him. This man king, the man in charge, wipes his hands and says, I don't have anything to do with this. I don't want my hands on this innocent man's blood. But the heart of the people was already set to mend it the head of Christ. They demanded the head of Christ because it was the due time. It was the secon time, it was the appointed time for Christ to die. But

Christ's death was not in vain. Not only was it for a due time, but it was also for adu people. Does not orchestrate all of the angelic hosts to be singing in heaven, the sun to refuse to shine, the dead in Christ to rise, the Shenanikins that was going on at the moment of Christ's death. He orchestraints this for a set people, and the scripture says that at the right to help. Christ died for a group of people.

What group of people that he died for? Christ dies for? Yeah, about that for a moment if you would that he does not die. The scriptures is very specific. Romans Chapter five, verse six does not say that while we were yet with our strengths in due time, Christ died for the rich. Does not say while we were yet without strength in due time, Christ died for Caucasians. Does not say that in due time, while we were yet with our strengths, Christ died for African Americans or black Christ died for

the jew Christ died for the women. Christ dies for the people that are last and forgotten. Doesn't say that Christ died for the homosexual, Christ died for the transgender. It doesn't say that Christ died for those who struggle in cocaine addictional the alcoholic. It doesn't say specifically that Christ died for the rich, and say that Christ died for the poor. I want to paint this picture, y'all.

It says that Christ died for the young godly that encompasses all races, that encompasses all sins that accomplass encompasses sinners from all over all nations. Every tongue who needs shall bow at that name which is above every name, out of that, out of all of the world, there are sinners that Christ calls his own. Aren't you glad that you're one of those sinners who He does not allow you to approach his father and his father's gait

in your sin, because Christ died for that. The justice that we have to be justified is not ours again, it is a justice that belongs to Him, that he shares with us freely, and he freely gives it to those who are which causes me to ponder, how do we know, as representatives of Him who know that we have this problem of being ungodly? Look at the mote in someone else's out by patters, the biggings in our own render judgment because too are struggling in their existence.

They may not know that Christ died for the ungodly, so it's not my job to tell them what their sins. They deal with it every day. My job is to remind them, or to inform them, or to instruct them. Christ died for the young godly. I don't know if he can help me. I don't know if I can make it through this storm. I don't know if my past will impede my future, and may be tree that He has on my life. Let me tell you something,

you ungodly persons that are listening to this message. It's all right to cry, so right to fall on your face and to cry out to him for help, because he's the only one that can help. Then there will come a place with peace rein in your heart. Tell you to read through these scriptures, and you'll see ungodly men from Adam all the way through the apostles and disciples. But there is one righteous man lays down his life.

And if you believe in your heart, confess with your mouth that your sins have been forgiven by this man. This poor man empties himself fall of his righteousness, and he becomes sin so that we don't have to stand before his father, alienated from his righteousness, but that we might come as brothers and sisters, participating in partakers in his holiness. He declares us to be sanctified. He sets

us apart. That's what it means to be sanctified. He sets us apart, and he calls us his spaccia children

sons and his daughters, his royal priestly. In this day where it seems as if darkness wins, that hope is gone, wars that happen, and people are afraid of their shadows, their soul free, and when it seems as if no one cares, we come to the place where we find out that he who is in control is the one that really cares, and due at the set time the appointed to him, Christ dies or the ungodly a few more moments. I want to up these next verses, and

we'll probably pick up from this book. Watch what he says as he presses on for scarcely for a righteous man, will one die yet readventure for a good man. Some would even dare to die. But God commended his love towards us, and that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. I want you to say that with me. I know we all know the John three sixteen verse, and I'm going to read that in your ear before

I reread first story. We just read that John brings sixteen verse says, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believe in him. But they're not pirric But they, y'all have everlasting life. We know that, and we understand that, and we celebrate in that. Even in the next verse where it says, for God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. But here Paul puts the same type of

emphasis on the same message. But he wants us to really rup our minds around us, if you would, as we go so the day for scarcely a righteous for a righteous man, will one die yet preadventure for a great man. Some would even dare to die. But God commended his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He commends his love.

He sends his love there is There are narratives and doctrines that will teach us that God was the Father was sitting on his throne, falling apart because humanity fell. He doesn't know what he's gonna do, and he's holding his head and he's saying, oh, Adam and Eve fell, and I don't have a plan, and I don't know what I'm gonna do. I don't know how I'm gonna redeem man. And his son now hugs at his throat and he says, Father, don't ruin him. Father, don't kill them.

They are good people. There's some people down there that are worth redeeming. Don't kill them. Send me, I'll go redeem him. That's not the scriptures. The scriptures declare that in his infinite wisdom before man fell. He already knew that he would send the lamb that will be slain on our behalf. The son did not volunteer to come. The father who you us declared, and he commends his

son to come. He sends his son to come so much so that when his son was in the garden about to face death, the son goes down to the garden, brings his friends along, and he prays, Father, what you remains this bitter cup? I know there has to be another way that I can redeem it without laying doll my life. But the father sends injurls to minister to the son, and the son gets the strength and he declares,

not my will, but fine will be done. I don't know who I'm talking to, but somebody or to get excited at the fact that the son continues to push past the thing that he feared, or pushed past the thing that was bitter to him, or pushed past the cup that was before him, and he calls all way to death, to the place where he takes the steam out of death. He goes down into the grave, to the place where he robs the grave of his victory. One day, this physicality, we'll go to dust where it

was created. But death cannot hold my soul, because my soul makes this boast in the Lord when he leaves this earth. The ciples were standing there looking up in amazement, and he looks down at them and says, why are you standing there gazing? Go tell it on the mountain. Go tell everybody that I did not just die, but I rose with all power in my hands. Go tell the handmaiden and the hor manger. Go tell those struggling

in sexuality, and those who are too promiscuous. Go tell the halic and the pen Go tell the crack hand and the alcoholic, the cigarette smoking, the fornicator. Go and tell the world that I died for the ungodly, so they don't have to face their father and their sins. And I not only died for them, but I covered them, covered them in righteousness. I covered them in my blood, covered them. They don't have to face the true judging, righteous judge that will say to some depart from me,

I don't know you. You fed your family, but I was hungry, and you fed me not. You fed your church members, but I knocked thrown the dark, and you said, I don't have access because I'm not a member. You visited the sick, you visited your mom, you visited your dad, you called your cousin. But I was sick and you didn't come see about me. I was widowed, and you left me and my family to fend for myself because I wasn't a part of your organization. I wasn't a

part of your views. You walk over me because you don't see my humanity, because I don't look like you. You threw me in concentration camps. Because I came to you for refuge. I was homeless and you did not provide shelter. I don't know you. Those that I redeemed wouldn't do it to humanity. Those that I redeemed as the mark of love on their hands. They don't feed people simply because they go and belong to their family.

They feed people because they understand that if it had not been for the Lord, which is on my side, there to I go, but by the grace of God. They don't walk over people trying to make it to a service, trying to make it to a job. They understand that everything that they have is because of the Lord, and if it had not been for Him, who provides for me, I would have nothing. Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not want. My desires and my needs

are not by the world. My desires and my needs are by he who created all things, and by him all things exist. He declares me to be his son, and he told me, I know what you need, and that's why I provide it for you. Why are you worried? Do not you see the grass in the field. Do not you see the birds and the fowls of the air, don't have feed them? Don't not close the grass beautifully?

Much more then if I can close the grass and feed the birds, and I understand that you have needs, how much more would your father, who is in heaven provide you? Those who are ungodly understand how much oil was poured out. There was this woman sitting at Jesus's feet. She takes the suspensive oil she gets to anoint him. Rumblings began to ive been while she was ministering to him. People started to question why would she do such a

thing as she's ministering to him. People started to question why would he allow her to spin precious oil and waste it on his seat? And Jesus now responds to the room, and he says, if you knew who she was anointing with the to understood that the king is in your presence, you wouldn't be all caught up in how much money you can get, which is temporary for the oil. But oh you're a joiner. Oh down it. You'll anoint my feet, you'll anoint my head, you'll anoint

my hands, because you don't understand who I am. It amazes me that people can walk with him, and they were walking with him, and they were around them, but that they really didn't fully grasp and understand. How can you tell me that past this is when he dies. They didn't go right out into the field. They all dissipated. They all went back to their occupations. They all went back to the things that they did before the three and a half year apprenticeship. There were nowhere to be found.

In fact, the only two that showed up to the grave with these women they wanted to make sure that nothing happened to his body. Everybody else went back to their stuff. He says, go and get the twelve and tell them, or the eleven, go and get them and tell them to come here. Because I did what I was supposed to do in my season. Now it's time for them to go do what they need to do in their season. Thomas comes running in the room later because he was somewhere and he didn't get the memo.

He didn't see what they saw. He didn't experience what they experienced. Thomas says to them, if I lets my finger in his king, the nil prints it's really around his wrists unless I touched it, piercing in his sign. Not gonna believe that a dead man can rise up

from grade. You guys are delusional. Jesus in his real physical body, with the nail prince still frush in his hand, with the wound in his side, with the Prince in his feet, sits down and break bread with them, and begins to open up the scriptures so that they might fully understand what it means that in due seasoned Christ does. He sees Thomas and he says, Thomas, bring me your hand. Thomas said, don't know, Rabbi, I'm sorry, He said, need you to be a man of your word, touch me

so that you can believe. Thank you Lord, that you allow us to touch, not in our physical bodies, that you allow us to touch you and spirit, because you are Alpha. You are pray Lord for those who don't know, those who we're too busy walking over, too busy with our religious duties activities, too busy minding someone else's being, minding someone else's remote and ignoring the beams that we have. Forgive us no what we do lead us not as temptation, but deliver us from early But as we go throughout

the blessing and Jesus name our prayer. Thank God. For those of you who are listening on our podcasts, White Ministries Network, we any prayer request, please do send them in the email address for those prayer crests are in the description. If you want to send a seed or love offering that is blessed requiring that you do, but we will require that you pray for us. As God is opening doors for us. We will be expanding what it is that we are doing, and we're excited about it.

Will be get more information. Enjoy the rest of the day, be grateful in all things. Peace,
