talk about our guards were okay
sherri openly the word a prayer Heavenly Father

in a way that nothing in this world could ever come near
so we praise You father please be with us as we look into that I word and
speaker view love for us
we ask in the name of our Lord Jesus amen okay
I
I was going to speak about
I am being a prisoner of Christ but I'm just gonna take a little turned because
I'm
this study arrest there I wanna go into this second Thessalonians
and read about how Satan will be revealed how that brings our
because of our understanding on book of Esther that brings that understanding
even higher
free we can turn to second testimony and chapter 2
all read one through eight
now we this each you brother in by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
and by our gathering together on to him
there you be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled
neither by spirit nor byword nor by a letter *** from
us and that the day of Christ is at hand
let no man deceive you by any means
for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first
and that man of sin be revealed
the son of perdition who oppose it an exalted himself about all that is called
gone
or that is worshipped so that he
as garth fitted in the temple and guard showing himself that he is gone
remember he knocked that when I wasn't yet with you
I told you these things and now you know
what we've holder pain he might be revealed in his time
for the mystery of iniquity got
already work only he who now lead at
will let until he be taken outta the way
and then shall that wicked
be revealed whom the Lord shall consume
the spirit of his mouth and show destroyed with the brightness
are is coming from are
I know most have you are like teachers here
here to your knowledge of the Bible for you understand this scripted very well
that how the spirit of guard the Holy Spirit
is what was withholding and until the Holy Spirit was taken out of the way
then
Satan will be revealed of a convo interim
now this word revealed as you know
you know God's Word is always revealing things to us
it's a word that God uses these being very
hidden from the prudent bodies revealed unto the beads
and and this is the way God uses the word when something is revealed to us
yeah our hearts and our mind is enlarged
we're not the same again because something has been exposed open to us
what I'm
what I'm suggesting is because of the understanding of the book %uh Vester
Satan being revealed is
only in the book %uh Vester is it so clearly revealed how he there
boast hollow he truth is
you know disclosed in a way that this particular chapter
her to me although we understood this from Matthew 24:15 racing when you see
the abomination of desolation stand in the whole debate
this brings it much much more closer because of the book of Esther
it's like because it may 21st they got it prepared a puzzle
in such a way now the book of Esther ports and no way
where she reveals and exposes Satan
for who he is what he's done in in in in a much higher level
we're always read this and this is talking about falling away
satan entering in you know exalting himself
as Christ you know we we read that in in *** there that he wanted to be like got
to wear his garment
and to be riding on his the you know
are horse and so on and his desire was
who else would God want to promote but himself
and that this is that what this particular chapter is saying
he says who exalted himself about all that is called
IMEC so that he has got seated in the temple ugh are showing himself that he's
got
and so I thought it was interesting
you know sometimes we understand we think we understand but
dogs word always brings more and more
knowledge and more assurance or II got out share this with you before we ran
onto
any kind ever study okay
does that make sense a little bit more I thought it made a lot of a sudden is
what this is
something that is amazing because the guard uses his work three times
revealed revealed and revealed and then it says also
are whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth
you remember when the word when
outta King has a resume out they covered payments to
head minutes
let's look at the edges real quickly turned to Esther
chapter he doesn't
7
we think about verse 5 the it said then that Kenya has errors answered and said
unto Esther the Queen
who is he and where is he that dares
presuming is hard to do so so as to what's going on here
well who is this
that would dare to separate the love of Christ
that is with the believers who would dare presume in his heart
to do that here is say 10 trying to separate
the love of Christ separate the believers to destroy them for
the king is asking who would dare in our
married do such a thing and now after says in verse 6
the adversary in the enemy is this weekend heymann
now are then hey man was afraid before the king and the Queen now here is where
came as being revealed right and because we
understand the time line that that it is tying to
you know the second month on the 17th day judgment day
which is the same thing now all of a sudden there the revealing is very
powerful
very real easy and then
if you go jump down to Chapter eight then the king returned out of the palace
garden into the place of the bank we don't whine
and heymann was following up on the bed where on Astor was
then said the King real he
force the Queen also be for me in the house
now it said Arab the word went out of the Kings mile
be covered payments face you see the connection there
as big it to testimony in Chapter 2 where it says
whom the Lord Sugar consume with the spirit of his mouth
right and show destroyed with the brightness up is coming for the is
broken into two parts first
Satan is consumed with the spirit of his mouth as the word when our
judgment day that same day then it's a
and show destroyed with the brightness
of his coming from broken into two parts so anyway and we were going back you
know how many times
we're understood this and now through the book a *** got in bringing up
things were
even higher understand it okay that's all I have that was
that tied to the air book of Esther what I'd like to do
now I like to talk about
being a prisoner of God's Word
been throughout the Bible God uses the term prism
or prisoner like for instance Paul in the fusions
3 Rolex turn to adhesions three
it says for this cause verse 1 for this cause I Paul
the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles
if you have heard of the dispensation up the grace of God which is given me
to you word how that by revelation he made known unto me the mysteries as I
wrote up for in few words
whereby when you read you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ
which in the aegis which in other ages was not made known
unto the sons of men and it is now revealed
angie is holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit that the
Jen time should be fellow heirs and have the same body and partakers of His
promise
in Christ by the gospel where r
I was made a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me
might be effectual working are his power
chapter 4
it says on a therefore the prisoner of the Lord beseech you
that you walk worthy are the vocation where where you are called
when we went through May 21st
I know I had this feeling that you are a prisoner of May 21st
it didn't happen but you are held by the word of God
that brought you into all this understanding
what do you do how do you escape it and an even now as we're going through
so many their doctrines and being that people were shooting out
on the internet everywhere we are bound by the word of God
and it's the Word of God that binds us holders
as prisoners in our conscience in our mind enters into our hearts
and it is the word of God that moved us
in such a way that we are prisoners
of the Word of God is not true
yes what a wonderful prison
right what a wonderful present and and then what is this prison this prison
is the love of God now keep that in mind this
prison is the love of God so in a way we are
prisoners of Christ's love because his love is
only expressed understood
by the word of God and that's why
whatever doctrine that may come out from the airways here and there are no matter
how
it is always the Word of God that group s
and that's why Renner and Chris was talking today
no be you hear the Word of God are not
forgot says my sheep hear my Voice
break his word and they follow me we don't follow a man
right but we follow them and he's being faithful to the Word of God
right just like card gives are
teachers and leaders and so on but how much do we follow
as long as he is faithful to the word have begun you really hear the voice of
God
that is where the love of God is so what a wonderful thing to be
a prisoner I'll love from
I want to 31 proper
and expound on that a little bit proverbs 20:1
I'm skipping some other turn to proverbs 20:1
this might be a refill your proper
through my view but I'd like to expound just a little bit talking about being a
prisoner
have the word I've got the love of Christ in proverbs 20:1 bursts 1 it says
the Kings heart is in the hand of the Lord
as the rivers of water he turn it did
weather so ever he will now
we can clearly understand in this context that came for
its talking about all the true believers and their heart
is in the hand of the Lord now
how does he move these this
these came are their hearts it said
at the river over water he turned it did
weather so ever he will now what do you think this river is
it's the Word of God is in it is the love gone great
what makes his move is
we taste his love right
we love him right that the response because He first loved us
now this word River rugby go to songs one
I think everybody's familiar with that it says
the man I let me turn through proper
for
from
songs one its talk about this talking about blessed is the man that walk it
not in the counsel of the ungodly
North stand in the way of sinner not sit in the seat of the scorn for
but his delight is in the law of the Lord
and in his law degree made it a day and night
and he shall be like a tree planted
by the rivers are water
or not that the rivers and water
is which is in God's hands
who are how is that the rivers are water is is the water that flows from heaven
for card uses that to move the heart of the Kings
aren't way that kinda people that's been that that's moved by guards
hand the word up guard
and so that's the same word that God uses that
it's there he's like a man planted by the rivers of water
and and look look what else goes on here
it says I'm sorry turned my pages too fast
and he should be like a tree planted by the rivers of water
that bring it forth his fruit in his season his leaf also shall not wither
and what's up
ever he'd up shall prosper
young godly are not sold but I like the chap which the win dry with the way
therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment nor sinners in the
congregation on the right shows
for the Lord know it the way of the right shoes but the way of the ungodly
shall perish
for a lot of times we we know a lot overseas but
the way that garden speaks to us
by His Spirit he review things to us by His Spirit
he puts his love within us and that love
holdouts and moved us
and you're all here because on that love
where it says is like a
River that flows now some time for anything cover River
its it's a flowing River
now the commandment of God in a believer's hard its always
flowing you won't see a believer whose
flowing one way all of a sudden he's turning in another way
the Word of God always flows in our life like for instance
doubt shalt not kill thou shalt not commit adultery
it's that constant flow just because we're taking from one end and
put into another situation are it afloat was not there
if that's not true the floor with there's like a river
that is constantly flowing and that's why God says
to us that you know if we
drink the water that he cares and it'll become
River not knowing living water
swelling out of our belly and so so
what's going on card gives it that love
and and the Word of God has His love
right that we have do you love God's Word
have you tasted guardsmen up
are we just these people looking for end of the world and
and don't like anything about this world is miserable
you know bring bad news and so on
are easy to love the love that which guard
give that's where no matter what is done to you what you reply room
what do you respond with LUP
K on
I also like to go to Janice's
and see how Joseph treats his brothers
return to Genesis chapter 42
good
here we find no read from the beginning Genesis chapter 42
now when Jacob saw that there was calling the gym Jacob said unto his
son's why do you look
one upon another and he said Behold I ever heard that there is calling in
Egypt
get you down to their and bite for us from thence
that we may live and not die and Joseph 10 brother and
went down to bike on in Egypt but benjamin
joe says brother Jacob sent not with his brother and 47 left for adventure
mischief before them
and the sons of Israel came to bike harm
among those that came for the famine was in the land of Canaan
and joseph was the governor over the land and he it was that sold to all the
people of the land
and Joseph brother and came and bowed down themselves
before him with their faces to the year and Joseph saw his brother
and he knew them but made himself stranger into them and speak
roughly into them and he said unto them when scummy
and they said from the land of Canaan to buy food
and Joseph knew his brother but they knew not him
and just to remember the dreams which he dreamed of them
and said unto them your spice to see the nakedness have the land are you come
and he said unto them made my toward but to buy food
are they serve unscom and we are all one man's son we are true man
by servants are no spice and he said unto them name but to see the nakedness
over the land are you come
and they said I servants heart wall brother and
the Suns a one-man in the land of Canaan and behold
the youngest is this day with our Father
and one is not and just have said unto them
that is it that I speak unto you saying you are spark
hereby you show be proved by the light for farrow you shall not go for
hands except your youngest brother
come hither spend one night you and let him affect your brother
and you shall be kept in prison that your words may be proven
whether there be any truth in URL by the light for farrow surely your spice
and you put them all together in the war
into war three days well
to the point I want to get into how he puts them in the ward
spiritually signifying that to anyway let me let me go back
and give your be build a context so
what happens here when joseph was 17 years old
Jake up sends Joe sir
to see his ten brother and to see fits well with them
now 17 we all know if a number
that is associated with heaven but I think it have even more
greater meaning I think it gone uses that as a
has a price for half an hour are
when joseph was 17 years old he was sent
to see fits well with their brother and
when he goes there he or his whole life
was sold and as a result of that
is why they were able to have the bread later on so that 17 stepper fight at the
purchasing price
for having just like in Jeremiah I think that God
tells your mind to buy a land for seventeen
piece of silver if I'm right and so the number seventeen is used
to show for the redemption to price back garden for so that we could be in
heavens are there and I guess the heaven is there
now he go there
to his 10 brothers to see fit well with them
and what do they do they'd thrown into prison that's where he winds up in the
prison
now thirteen years later
because joseph has about 30 from 17 to 13 of 13 years and that's also I guess
is the spiritual number that we look at that they are going
to see Joseph and Joseph throw them in a prison
the idea that I'm trying to bring forth herein
when we come to Christ we
we immediately our crisis capture and Joseph were sent
and Joseph became their captor
okay and he throws him Christ goes to the prison
to said us free and then we become price
capped so it says here
in the put them in the war three days and Joseph said unto them that their day
this do and lived for I fear gardepe you be true man
i'm reading burst 19 but wanna be a brother and be bound in the house have
your prison
go you carry carne for the famine up your house
but bring your youngest brother on to me so shall your words be verified and you
shall not die
and they and they did so anyway what's happening here is before they could even
begin to carry
carne they become the prisoners are Joseph
and that the idea that I want to bring forth in this story
how guard shows for that we become his prisoners
before we could carry then we are in his hand
he directs says he lied to us by His Word
and you know are let me just read on a little bit more
wheat says verse 21 and they said one to another
we are very early guilty concerning our brother in that we saw the anguish of
his soul
when he brought out then we would not hear therefore
is this just stress come upon us Andrew been answered them saying
speaker in not on to you saying do not sin against the child
and you would not hear therefore be home also his blood is required
and they knew not that Joseph understood them
for he speak unto them by an interpreter and he turned himself about
from them and wept and returned to them again and commune with them
and took firm from them Simon or simeon
and bound him before their eyes then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks
with
corn and to restore everyman's money into his second to give them permission
for the way and dust did he onto them
now this ten brothers are representing
the believers here and Joseph love them
and he put them in the prison even though they did not know all that is
going on
Joseph saw them Joseph weeps for them
and when the word up garden comes into our lives their money thing that we do
and and it is it seems strange
I we have different things in our mind but gone at a different purpose for us
and God will lead us and guide us and direct us
okay I'm
that's as far as I have on that let's go to 2nd Corinthians chapter 4
her second Corinthians
from I forgot to
me see if I can find it think
you for four or five
I'm gonna read it maybe somebody can find out where it is
second Corinthians its verses fourteen and fifteen
I'm I don't know
when I read it maybe you'll find out the plant
because I forgot to put the chapter but I did write it out
I know it's here somewhere its talking about the love of Christ constraint so
let me read
from okay parent
okay verse 14 for the love of Christ constrain it that's because we dust
judge
that it one died for all then
we're all dead and that he died for all
that day which lives should not henceforth
live unto themselves but on to him which died for them
and rose again notice here
the love of Christ constrain at us
now here's that force up the river
to constrain means to to compel
to force and what is it that is forcing us it is the love of Christ in us
and it and it causes us to make judgment
and to understand to know it said we save one died for all
then we're all dead right
and that he died for all
here's all the true believer then dole's
who are alive right
in Christ should not henceforth live unto themselves but on to him which died
for them
so our life the life that we live in
it seats it is eternal life can only be alive
through the love of Christ so when Rees
feel and know that that eternal life isn't biting in us
that is only through the word of God that is only through his love we have
this
temporal body and an eternal soul what a conflict that
it's not a conflict when we have the word of God
abiding with us God turn would need to first Peter
chapter 4 and lost track of time
how much time do we have first Peter Chapter four
from okay
from okay
here's something to arm ourselves with
verse 1 chapter 4 1st Peter chapter 4 verse 14 as much then as crisis suffered
for us
in the Flash arm yourself like twice with the same mind
for he that had suffered in the Flash
had seized from him that he no longer should live the rest of his
time in the flesh to the Las men
but to the will of God
be here is something that God says for us to arm ourselves with
let me let me read this again one more time for as much
then as christ have suffered for us in the flesh
arm yourself likewise with the same mine
for he that hath suffered in the Flash
have seized from Sam that he
no longer should
live the rest of his time in the Flash up to the luster men
but to the will of God so
it is when we rent Godward
penetrates into our mind and identify his suffering
with us it's as if we have suffered
but we didn't but he did this at the arm
and so that when we you in your armed with that my name
it says that he should no longer live the rest of his time
in the flesh to the luster men but to the left of
are we reading proverbs 20:1
the Kings heart is in the hander
the Lord as a river no been a say that right
heat he turned into good weather so ever he will
prayed and we
have this fantastic knowledge that we are being guided by God
his hand his word we have this deeper attraction towards the Word of God
when we go to the Word of God we're we're just not
satisfied with the surf is not what it seems that we want to dig deeper
we want more we want to love God more and more and more
and we long for his coming and we want to do His will
without any kind ever compromise our
anything that would get into the way well the commandments of God
is flowing in our hearts constantly
it flows like a river constantly so that
you know there's an it we are not afraid
be in in any way or you are when trial for any kind of situation comes in our
life
we are not amazed but we look to guard
and and got turns on the river the word over the word of God moved in our hearts
in our mind
and so I want to encourage
all of us here I'm well actually
let me go to it features chapter 3 read that and then we'll both with that
you Regents chapters three
now in this chapter before I'm just going to read it but
are you will see the purpose of God
the power of God the love of God and finally
to be filled with the fullness of God through
as I read you see these attributes coming out of the scripture
for this cause I Paul the prisoner abuses Christ
for you Gentiles if you have heard of the dispensation up the grace of God
which is given me to you word how that by revelation
he made known unto me the mystery as I wrote a foreign few words
whereby when you read you may understand
my knowledge in the mystery of Christ which in
other ages was not made known unto the sons of men as it is now revealed unto
His holy apostles and prophets
by the Spirit that the Gentiles should be
fellow airs and on the same body and partakers of His promise
in Christ by the gospel where are
I was made minister according to the gift
of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working on his power
I'm to me who am less than the least of all things
is disgraced given that I should preach among the Gentiles
the on searchable riches of Christ and to make all men's
see what is the fellowship of the mystery
which from the beginning of the world had been handed in guard
who created all things by Jesus Christ to the intent
that now onto the principalities and powers
in heavenly places might be known
by the church the manifold wisdom of God
we have to say eternal church
according to the eternal purpose which he purposed
in Christ Jesus our Lord in whom
we have boldness and access with confidence
by the faith in him wherefore I desire that you faint not
at my tribulations for you which is your glory
for this cause I borrow money then to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
of whom the whole family in heaven and in their
andar is named that he would grant you according to the riches of His glory
to be strengthened with might by His Spirit
in the inner man that Christ may dwell in your hearts by
free that you being routed
and grounded in love may be able to comprehend with All Saints
what is the bread and men and
DEP and heights and to know the love of Christ which passed that knowledge
that you might be filled with
all the fullness of God on
now want to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all
that we ask or think according to the power
that work could in us on to him be glory
in the church are again in the eternal church
by Christ Jesus throughout all ages world without end
