00:00MY PHYSICAL BODY DOESN'T REFLECT THE CHANGE THAT THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT.
00:05AND IF YOU JUST SEARCH YOUR MENTAL EMOTIONAL PART,
00:09DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL PART HASN'T CHANGED EITHER?
00:14IT MAY BE CHANGING AND IT MAY BE BETTER THAN IT WAS,
00:17BUT PAUL SAID THAT WHEN WE GET THAT WHICH IS PERFECT IS COME,
00:21THEN WE WILL KNOW ALL THINGS, EVEN AS ALSO WE ARE KNOWN.
00:25THAT'S NOT TRUE IN YOUR MENTAL PART RIGHT NOW,
00:28BUT IN YOUR SPIRIT IT SAYS IN FIRST CORINTHIANS 2-16 YOU HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.
00:33FIRST JOHN 2-20 YOU HAVE AN UNCTION FROM THE HOLY ONE AND YOU KNOW ALL THINGS.
00:38THAT'S NOT TRUE OF YOUR PHYSICAL MIND, BUT IT'S TRUE IF YOU'RE BORN AGAIN SPIRIT.
00:43THERE IS A THIRD PART OF YOU THAT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT FUNCTIONALLY RECOGNIZE,
00:49AND THAT IS YOUR SPIRIT, AND YOU CAN'T FEEL YOUR SPIRIT,
00:52YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR SPIRIT EXCEPT THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD.
00:56GOD'S WORD PAINTS AN ACCURATE PICTURE OF WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST.
01:01AND SO THAT'S WHAT I'VE ALREADY COVERED.
01:03YESTERDAY I STARTED USING EPHESIANS THAT SAYS THAT NOT ONLY WERE YOU BORN AGAIN RIGHTEOUS AND TRULY HOLY,
01:09EPHESIANS 4-24, BUT EPHESIANS 1-13 SAYS ONCE YOU WERE BORN AGAIN YOU WERE SEALED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
01:19AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS WHEN A CHRISTIAN GETS BORN AGAIN,
01:22YOUR SPIRIT IS A PART OF YOU THAT'S BORN AGAIN.
01:25YOU ARE AS RIGHTEOUS AND HOLY AND PURE IN YOUR BORN AGAIN SPIRIT AS YOU WILL EVER BE IN HEAVEN.
01:32IT'S NOT THAT YOU GOT A BABY SPIRIT AND THAT BABY SPIRIT HAS TO GROW UP AND BECOME THIS MATURE SPIRIT.
01:38NO, IN YOUR SPIRIT YOU ARE IDENTICAL TO CHRIST, 1 John 4-17.
01:42AS JESUS IS, SO WERE YOU IN THIS WORLD.
01:45JESUS IS NOT A BABY THAT IS GROWING INTO SPIRITUAL MATURITY.
01:50HE IS SEATED AT THE FATHER'S RIGHT HAND.
01:53HE IS PERFECT AND AS JESUS IS, THAT'S THE WAY THAT YOU ARE IN YOUR SPIRIT.
01:59SOME PEOPLE THINK, WELL, IT'S LIKE A BABY.
02:01I'VE GOT MY, YOU KNOW, TEN FINGERS AND TEN TOES, BUT I HAVEN'T GROWN.
02:06AND SO THEY SEE, HERE'S JESUS AND HERE I AM.
02:09I'VE GOT HIS NATURE IN ME, BUT I'M JUST IMMATURE AND I'VE GOT TO GROW.
02:13IT'S ACTUALLY YOUR SOUL AND YOUR BODY THAT IS GROWING IN YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND IN YOUR OBEDIENCE TO CHRIST.
02:21BUT IN YOUR SPIRIT, YOU ARE AS PERFECT AND AS PURE AND AS COMPLETE.
02:27WRITE THIS MOMENT AS IN YOUR SPIRIT AS JESUS IS AND AS YOU WILL EVER BE IN ETERNITY.
02:35I KNOW THAT WHAT I SAID JUST CAUSED MANY PEOPLE'S MIND TO JUST EXPLODE.
02:40IT'S LIKE IF YOU HAD FUSES, THIS WOULD HAVE BLOWN A FUSE.
02:43PEOPLE THINK, NO WAY, WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN, THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
02:48WHEN YOU GET TO HEAVEN IS WHEN YOUR BODY'S GOING TO BE CHANGED.
02:51IT'S WHEN YOUR MIND IS GOING TO CATCH UP.
02:53BUT RIGHT NOW IN YOUR SPIRIT, YOU ARE IDENTICAL TO JESUS.
02:581 CORINTHIANS 6-17 SAYS, HE THAT IS JOINED UNTO THE LORD IS ONE SPIRIT.
03:04AND THE GREEK WORD FOR ONE THERE IS HES, H-E-I-S, AND IT MEANS A SINGULAR ONE TO THE EXCLUSION OF ANOTHER.
03:12IT'S NOT LIKE GOD'S UP HERE AND YOU'RE DOWN HERE.
03:15YOU'RE PARALLEL.
03:16HE'S COMPLETE AND YOU'RE INCOMPLETE.
03:18NO, IT MEANS YOU ARE ONE.
03:20IF THERE WERE SUCH THINGS IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM AS ATOMS AND MOLECULES,
03:25YOU ARE ATOM FOR ATOM, MOLECULE FOR MOLECULE, IDENTICAL TO JESUS IN YOUR BORN-AGAIN SPIRIT.
03:33NOW THAT'S NOT MANIFESTED IN YOUR THOUGHTS COMPLETELY YET.
03:36IT'S NOT TOTALLY MANIFEST IN YOUR ACTIONS YET.
03:39BUT IN YOUR SPIRIT, ONE-THIRD OF YOUR SALVATION IS OVER.
03:43IT'S COMPLETE.
03:44YOU'RE AS SAVED IN YOUR SPIRIT AS YOU'LL EVER GET.
03:47AND THEN ACCORDING TO EPHESIANS 1-13,
03:49ONCE YOU ARE BORN-AGAIN, YOU ARE SEALED, VACUUM-PACKED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
03:54SO THAT IF A CHRISTIAN SIN, THAT SIN WILL ENTER INTO YOUR BODY
03:58AND IT CAN GIVE SATAN AN INROAD INTO YOUR BODY TO CAUSE SICKNESS, PAIN, THINGS LIKE THAT.
04:03IT CAN ENTER INTO YOUR SOULISH REALM WHERE IT CAN GIVE SATAN AN INROAD IN YOU
04:07IN FEAR, DISCOURAGEMENT, DEPRESSION, THINGS LIKE THAT.
04:11AND SO THEREFORE, YES, WE STILL NEED TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE
04:15AND NOT YIELD OURSELF TO SATAN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
04:18BECAUSE HE ONLY COMES TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY.
04:21SO I AM NOT ADVOCATING SIN,
04:23BUT I'M SAYING THAT WHEN A BORN-AGAIN BELIEVER SINS,
04:27THAT SIN DOESN'T PENETRATE THE SEAL AROUND THIS SPIRIT THAT IS PERFECT.
04:32AND SINCE JOHN 4-24, THIS WAS JESUS SPEAKING,
04:35HE SAYS GOD IS A SPIRIT
04:38AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
04:41SINCE GOD IS A SPIRIT AND HE IS FELLOWSHIPPING WITH YOU
04:45SPIRIT TO SPIRIT, NOT HIS SPIRIT TO YOUR FLESH.
04:49NOW HE'S AWARE OF WHAT YOUR FLESH IS DOING.
04:51HE'S AWARE OF YOUR ACTIONS.
04:52HE'S AWARE OF YOUR THOUGHTS.
04:54BUT GOD LOOKS AT YOU IN THE SPIRIT
04:56AND GOD RELATES TO YOU BASED ON WHO YOU ARE IN THE SPIRIT,
05:00NOT WHO YOU ARE IN THE FLESH.
05:02WHEN I UNDERSTOOD THAT,
05:04I TELL YOU IT GAVE ME A BOLDNESS
05:07TO ENTER INTO THE LORD AND BEGIN TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
05:11OF THE THINGS THAT HE HAD PURCHASED FOR ME
05:13THAT I DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE.
05:14I'VE NEVER DOUBTED THAT GOD HAD ALL POWER
05:18AND THAT HE WAS A HUNDRED PERCENT GOOD
05:21AND THAT HE COULD DO ANYTHING.
05:22THAT WAS NEVER MY PROBLEM
05:24ABOUT DOUBTING THAT GOD HAD THE ABILITY.
05:26WHAT I WAS DOUBTING WAS THAT GOD WOULD USE HIS POWER
05:31AND GIVE IT TO ME
05:32OR FLOW THROUGH ME WITH THAT POWER
05:34BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL WORTHY.
05:36BECAUSE I WAS OUT HERE LOOKING IN MY ACTIONS
05:39EVEN THOUGH I'VE BEEN SERVING THE LORD NOW
05:42FOR 65 YEARS I'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN,
05:44I'VE BEEN SERVING HIM WITH MY WHOLE HEART
05:46FOR 55 YEARS, I'M STILL NOT PERFECT.
05:49I STILL DON'T DO ANYTHING PERFECTLY
05:52IN MY ACTIONS AND MY THOUGHTS
05:54EVEN THOUGH I KEEP MY MIND STAYED ON GOD
05:57MORE THAN I EVER HAVE,
05:58I STILL AM NOT PERFECT.
06:01AND SO I JUST DON'T HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE
06:04WHEN I'M APPROACHING GOD IN MY FLESH
06:06BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I'M BETTER
06:08AND I MIGHT BE BETTER THAN YOU
06:10I MIGHT BE BETTER THAN SOMEBODY ELSE
06:12I'VE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD
06:14EVEN AS A CHRISTIAN
06:16I'M STILL NOT THE PERSON I SHOULD BE
06:17AND I JUST DON'T HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE
06:19IN MY FLESH
06:21THAT'S WHAT PAUL SAID IN PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER 3
06:23SO AS LONG AS YOU ARE JUST THINKING
06:27ABOUT YOUR PHYSICAL BODY
06:28YOUR MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL PART
06:30WELL THEN YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO HAVE BOLDNESS
06:32TO BELIEVE THAT GOD TRULY
06:34WILL FLOW THROUGH YOU
06:36WILL ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS
06:37BUT ONCE YOU BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND
06:38WHAT I'M CALLING SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY
06:40THAT IN YOUR SPIRIT YOU WERE RECREATED
06:43AS HOLY AND AS PURE AS JESUS IS
06:46THAT YOU ARE SEALED
06:48SO THAT THAT SPIRIT DOESN'T FLUCTUATE
06:50WITH YOUR ACTIONS, WITH YOUR THOUGHTS
06:52BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS
06:56AS JESUS IS IN THIS WORLD
06:59WHETHER YOU ARE ACTING LIKE THAT
07:00OR THINKING LIKE IT OR NOT
07:02ONCE YOU BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THAT
07:03YOU CAN APPROACH GOD IN SPIRIT
07:05AND IN TRUTH
07:06AND YOU CAN OBTAIN MERCY
07:08AND FIND GRACE TO HELP
07:10IN A TIME OF NEED
07:11IT'LL TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE
07:13THANKS
07:14IF I COULD TEACH THE ENTIRE BOOK
07:16OF HEBREWS
07:18TO YOU
07:19I TELL YOU, MOST CHRISTIANS
07:21STRUGGLE WITH THE CONCEPTS
07:23IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS
07:24IT'S NOT MOST PEOPLE'S FAVORITE BOOK
07:26YOU KNOW WHY?
07:27BECAUSE IT IS SO CONTRARY
07:29TO THE WAY WE THINK
07:30THAT MOST PEOPLE HOLD THE WAY
07:32THEY THINK
07:33INSTEAD OF LETTING GO
07:35OF THEIR OWN THOUGHTS
07:37AND FOUNDATIONAL BELIEFS
07:39AND GOING WITH THE WORD OF GOD
07:40THEY JUST HOLD ON TO WHAT THEY BELIEVE
07:42AND THE TRADITIONS AND DOCTRINES OF MAN
07:44MAKE THE WORD OF GOD OF NONE EFFECT
07:46THAT'S WHY MOST PEOPLE STRUGGLE
07:48WITH THE BOOK OF HEBREWS
07:49BECAUSE IT IS COMPLETELY
07:51AGAINST OUR RELIGIOUS TEACHING
07:53THAT WE DO TODAY
07:54BUT BASICALLY THE BOOK OF HEBREWS
07:56IS TO SHOW THAT JESUS
07:58SUPERSEDES EVERYTHING
08:00SPECIFICALLY THE OLD TESTAMENT LAW
08:03THE OLD TESTAMENT LAW
08:04WAS PERFORMANCE BASED
08:06YOU HAD TO DO THIS
08:07AND THEN IF YOU WOULD DO THIS
08:09GOD WOULD DO THAT
08:10BUT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
08:12IT'S NOT BASED ON WHAT I DO
08:14IT'S BASED ON WHAT JESUS
08:15DID FOR ME
08:17AND IT IS COMING AGAINST
08:19THE OLD TESTAMENT LAW
08:20NOT IN THE SENSE
08:21THAT THE OLD TESTAMENT LAW
08:22WAS SIN
08:23IT WASN'T SIN
08:24IT WAS PERFECT
08:25AND THERE WAS A PERIOD OF TIME
08:27THAT IT WAS A NECESSARY THING
08:29THAT WE HAD TO SEE
08:30THE PERFECTION OF GOD
08:32AND THAT THIS IS HOW HOLY HE IS
08:34AND HOW UNHOLY WE ARE
08:36AND WE HAD TO RECOGNIZE
08:37THOSE THINGS
08:38SO THAT WE WOULD QUIT TRUSTING
08:39IN OUR SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS
08:41AND COME TO GOD
08:42AND DRAW UPON HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
08:44SO THE LAW WAS GOOD
08:46AT THE TIME IT WAS GIVEN
08:47BUT THE LAW IS SIN
08:49FOR A NEW TESTAMENT BELIEVER
08:52TO TRY AND RELATE TO GOD
08:54BASED ON YOUR OWN
08:55PERSONAL PERFORMANCE
08:58AGAIN THIS IS WHAT
08:59I WAS SAYING EARLIER
09:00I COULD GO OVER
09:01TO GALATIANS CHAPTER 3
09:02AND VERIFY THAT
09:03WHERE IT SAYS
09:04THAT THE LAW IS NOT OF FAITH
09:06AND WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH
09:08IS SIN
09:09ROMANS 14 23
09:10I COULD GO BACK
09:11AND VERIFY THOSE STATEMENTS
09:12THAT I'M MAKING
09:13SO ANYWAY
09:14THAT'S WHAT THE BOOK
09:15OF HEBREWS IS ALL ABOUT
09:16IS TRYING TO GET YOU
09:17TO QUIT TRYING
09:18TO APPROACH GOD
09:19ON THE BASIS
09:20OF YOUR PERFORMANCE
09:21AND HOW GOOD YOU ARE
09:22AND INSTEAD
09:23JUST PUT YOUR TOTAL FAITH
09:26AND TRUST IN JESUS
09:28AND SO IN CHAPTER 8
09:30IT BASICALLY
09:31STARTS SUMMARIZING
09:33WHAT HAD BEEN SAID
09:35IN THE FIRST 7 CHAPTERS
09:37AND I HADN'T GOT TIME
09:38TO GO THROUGH
09:39ALL OF THAT
09:40AND IN CHAPTER 9
09:42IT STARTS TALKING
09:43ABOUT THE TABERNACLE
09:45OF GOD
09:46AND IT LISTS ALL
09:47OF THESE PIECES
09:48OF FURNITURE
09:49AND RELATES THEM
09:50TO SYMBOLIC THINGS
09:52THAT WE NOW EXPERIENCE
09:53IN THE LORD
09:54AGAIN I'M GOING TO
09:55JUMP RIGHT INTO
09:56THE MIDST OF THIS
09:57I PRAY MAN
09:58PLEASE GET MY TEACHING
09:59IT WILL GO INTO
10:00MORE DETAIL ON THIS
10:02BUT IN HEBREWS
10:04CHAPTER 9
10:05IT'S TALKING ABOUT
10:06THE ARK OF THE COVENANT
10:07AND IN VERSE 5
10:08IT SAYS AND OVER IT
10:09THE CHERUBIMS OF GLORY
10:11SHADOWING THE MERCY
10:12SEAT OF WHICH
10:13WE CANNOT NOW SPEAK
10:15PARTICULARLY
10:16AND IF YOU WERE TO
10:17TAKE TIME TO GO
10:18THROUGH ALL OF THIS
10:19ALL OF THE PIECES
10:20OF FURNITURE
10:21THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE
10:22IT SAYS IN HEBREWS
10:23WHERE THE SIN WAS
10:24THE FLESH OF CHRIST
10:25AND WHEN HIS BODY
10:26WAS BROKEN
10:27THAT VEIL WAS
10:28RENT INTO
10:29AND THE CANDLESTICK
10:30AND THE SHOWBREAD
10:31AND THE BRAZEN ALTAR
10:32IS WHERE THE
10:33SACRIFICE WAS MADE
10:34EVERY ONE OF
10:35THESE THINGS
10:36IS SOMETHING
10:37THAT HAS
10:38A SYMBOLIC MEANING
10:39ABOUT OUR
10:40CURRENT
10:41RELATIONSHIP
10:42WITH GOD
10:43ALL OF THE
10:44OLD TESTAMENT
10:45TABERNACLE
10:46AND TEMPLE
10:47WERE PICTURES
10:48OF NEW TESTAMENT
10:49REALITIES
10:50BUT WHEN IT COMES
10:51TO THE CHERUBIMS
10:52AND THE SEASEED
10:53HE SAID
10:54WE CAN'T TALK
10:55ABOUT THEM
10:56PARTICULARLY NOW
10:57THAT'S THE ONE
10:58PIECE OF FURNITURE
10:59IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
11:00TEMPLE
11:01AND TABERNACLE
11:02THAT DIDN'T APPLY
11:03TO US
11:04WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
11:05WHY DOESN'T IT
11:06APPLY TO US
11:07AGAIN WITHOUT ME
11:08GOING INTO
11:09A GREAT AMOUNT
11:10OF DETAIL
11:11THESE CHERUBIMS
11:12WERE THERE
11:13TO KEEP PEOPLE
11:14AWAY
11:15FROM THE PRESENCE
11:16OF GOD
11:17IF ANYBODY
11:18WENT INTO
11:19THE HOLY OF HOLIES
11:20WHERE THE ARK
11:21WAS BEHIND
11:22THE VEIL
11:23THEY WERE
11:24STRUCK DEAD
11:25AND THIS IS
11:26THE REASON
11:27THAT JOSEPHUS
11:28A FIRST CENTURY
11:29HISTORIAN
11:30THAT WAS
11:31EMPLOYED BY
11:32THE ROMANS
11:33TO WRITE A HISTORY
11:34OF THE JEWS
11:35HE WROTE A NUMBER
11:36OF THINGS
11:37AND IN HIS WRITINGS
11:38IT ACTUALLY SAYS
11:39THAT BECAUSE
11:40OF THIS HOLINESS
11:41OF GOD
11:42THAT WAS IN
11:43THE HOLY OF HOLIES
11:44THE HIGH PRIEST
11:45COULD ONLY GO IN
11:46ONE TIME
11:47PER YEAR
11:48ON THE DAY
11:49OF ATONEMENT
11:50AND HE COULD
11:51ONLY GO IN
11:52ONE TIME

11:55OF ATONEMENT
11:56AND HE COULD

12:46ONE TIME
12:47PER YEAR
12:49If anybody but the high priest
12:51went in, they were struck dead.
12:54These cheirobims were there.
12:56Cherubims were mighty angels.
12:58Today we talk about cherubs as being
13:00little fat babies with harps,
13:03and people picture them.
13:05In the book of Genesis Chapter three,
13:07the Lord set a cherubim at the east end
13:11of the Garden of Eden
13:13with a flaming sword,
13:14that turned in every direction
13:16to protect the way
13:17OF THE TREE OF LIFE so that nobody would eat of it.
13:20And I mean this cherubim was a mighty warrior angel.
13:24You can read about cherubs in Ezekiel chapter 1 and chapter 10 and it discusses them in
13:30greater detail.
13:31So anyway, my point is cherubs were there to protect the ark.
13:36And if anybody came in except the high priest and if he wasn't perfect, then he was struck
13:41dead.
13:42And this is the reason that Josephus said that they actually tied a rope around the
13:45guy's ankle and let the rope trail out into the holy place.
13:50Because if God struck him dead, nobody could go in there to get the body.
13:55So they kept this rope around his ankle in case he wasn't perfect.
13:59And if God struck him dead, that they could drag him out.
14:03Man, this is awesome.
14:05And this is what these cherubs were for.
14:06They were to keep people away from the holiness of God so that they wouldn't die.
14:12But now we can't speak about that because Jesus has opened up a way for us to enter
14:18into the holy of holies.
14:21Let me just read this over here in the 10th chapter of the book of Hebrews.
14:25And it says in verse 19, having therefore brethren boldness to enter into the holiest
14:32by the blood of Jesus.
14:33Did you know that the people he was writing to, these were Hebrews?
14:36That's the reason this book is called the book of Hebrews.
14:39And they were under the Old Testament law and nobody could go into the holiest.
14:45And yet here he is saying, now we have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of
14:50Jesus by a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us through the veil.
14:56That is to say his flesh.
14:57There was a veil that separated the holy place from the holy of holies, where the ark of
15:01the covenant was and where God dwelt.
15:04And nobody could go past that veil except the high priest once a year only after he
15:09had done all of these rituals.
15:12And if he didn't do it perfectly, he'd be struck dead.
15:14But now we have boldness to enter into the very holy presence of God by a new and living
15:21way, which he has consecrated for us through the veil.
15:24That is to say his flesh.
15:25And having a high priest over the house of God, let us draw near, talking about draw
15:31near to this holy of holies with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts
15:37sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
15:43If you understood all of these things that are being said, it says now we don't have
15:47any cherubs there to strike you dead if you aren't perfect.
15:52Because through Jesus, Jesus made a sacrifice for sin to end all sacrifice.
15:59And now through the blood of Jesus, the veil of the temple has been rent in two.
16:05We can come boldly into the presence of God and these cherubs that were there to protect
16:11and to kill any person if they intruded upon the presence of God.
16:15Now they are removed.
16:17If you had a cherub try and block you from entering into the presence of God, you could
16:22rebuke that cherub in the name of Jesus because you have been atoned for.
16:27And if you come before God in spirit and in truth, then there is no rejection.
16:35If you come before God based on your own goodness, well then you still aren't worthy.
16:39If you come before God based on your own thoughts, you still aren't worthy.
16:43But when you worship God in spirit and in truth, you are as righteous and holy as Jesus
16:51is because it is the spirit of Jesus that has been sent into your heart crying Abba
16:57Father.
16:58Romans chapter 8 verse 9 says that if any man says he has not the spirit of Christ,
17:03well then he is none of his.
17:06You have to have the spirit of Christ when you get born again.
17:09That's that new part of you and in the spirit it's been sealed so that when you sin, that
17:14sin may defile your body and it may defile your soul.
17:18You don't need to do it.
17:19Quit living in sin.
17:21But none of us do it perfectly and if you were not aware of who you are in the spirit,
17:26then you'll never have boldness to come right into the holy of holies.
17:30But through Jesus, we can now approach him without any fear of punishment, without any
17:36fear of these cherubs trying to stop us from entering into the presence of God.
17:42Again, I don't know about you, but this just changed my life.
17:45I got aware of the fact that through Jesus, I have been united with God in a way that
17:52nothing can separate me from that, not even my own sin, not even my own failings, not
17:57even my own flesh can separate me from the power of God.
18:03Because of that, it produced a boldness that allowed me to enter into a brand new level
18:09of relationship with God that I never had before.
18:13And I know that there are many of you watching this program that you're born again.
18:17If you were to die, you'd go to be with the Lord in heaven.
18:20You've got that sure, and yet you aren't entering into the holy of holies.
18:25You aren't enjoying the full benefit of your salvation because you don't understand that
18:32it's your spirit that's changed and you have to worship God in spirit and in truth, not
18:37based on your performance, not based on your mind and mental thoughts, but based on who
18:43you are in Christ.
