the father's desire for all of you is
there and there's a reason I'm preaching
these messages these few weeks
all right I'm preaching messages on
strong comfort and consolation full
assurance because the father's desire is
that his children come to him boldly you
know come to him not like an abused dog
you know a dog that's been abused every
time the master raises his hand to just
flip his hair the dog goes like thinking
the Masters about to hit him you know
you know that the dog has been abused
God wants his children to him boldly
knowing there's no more judgment that
all the judgment is passed amen
and what is in front of you is just hope
and a beautiful future
amen amen all the judgment is passed
praise God now some people don't believe
that
and unfortunately amongst them a people
who seem to be like you know theologians
and people who preach sometimes in such
a way that you can lose your salvation
and we are touching on this series about
whether you can lose your salvation and
we're looking at all the passages that
normally people bring up to to try to
enforce the point their point that that
you can lose your salvation but actually
if you take a verse I'll be setting
remember context is king you take a
verse out of this context
all right they take a verse out of
context you have Co n left all right
clink on anybody
all right you must leave the verse in
its context amen
so that's what we intend to do and
because of that we're not dive right
into it okay are you ready and all this
series of messages they are calculated
to impart into your heart this blessed
assurance and strong boldness amen
to come into his presence that's how God
wants his children to come amen I mean
it's no testimony all right no but
testimony for people to see children
coming to parents like you know so
afraid and and so afraid to be
themselves and all that you know that
child has been abused the child is under
fear Amen that's how we treat God
sometimes and it's very sad you know
that it's because of wrong belief you
can tell that you have a wrong belief
somewhere in your belief system
when you see the result the result is
depression or uncertainty you know some
people think some people try it on this
idea that if you can make people feel
insecure they'll keep on coming to
church and then you'll keep on you know
watching their lives making sure their
lives are riding on nothing could be
further from the truth
amen is only those who are secure that
can rest and those who rest well flow
well those who are resting in the
finished work the Spirit of God flows in
them amen and remember what I said the
last time joy and insecurity cannot
coexist when there's insecurity in a
relationship
there cannot be joy amen you watch
Channel it will tell you that a man if a
girl is feeling insecure about the
husband she cannot be joyful but when
there's security amen when that's
acceptance when there's there's a
comfort amen what wasn't happened the
the loved one would feel so joyful amen
with blessed assurance can have a good
amen so I am here to tell you Church
that God's desire for you is that you
have strong consolation and a heart full
of assurance of faith that God loves you
God accepts you and God is on your side
why is this important because when you
face the fight of life whether it is a
what what the ladies face just now the
lady on the testimony video whether it's
a simple fight like on the road you're
driving your Butler lose your temper or
whatever it is remember this it's vital
during such times that you realize and
you are aware that God is on your side
and God is not on your side until your
next sin and then he withdraws somehow
that's how we always conclude all right
that's not we are not for sin we are
against sin but the antidote against sin
is security assurance of faith amen
that's what gives you power to overcome
sin praise the Lord so let's look at the
scriptures just passing in review let's
look at the Hebrews 6 we covered that
the last time and remember Hebrews 6
says therefore is that for by saying
therefore leaving the principles of the
doctrine of Christ let us go on unto
perfection that's how it begins
literally saying let's leave the school
of MO
this and let's go on to the school of
Christ let's leave the ABC of Christ the
ABC of Christ is actually found in the
Old Testament it is the laying on of
hands of the offerer of the sinner who
is offering he offers the lamb he plays
his hands on the head of the lamb
that's the ABC of Christ amen how many
know the lamb is not the real lamb
Christ is the real lamb so is the ABCs
and every time they go into the Mikve
the call in Hebrew are the waters of
emotion let's call the doctrine of
baptisms or washings and the Apostle
Paul by the spirit I believe Paul is the
author of Hebrews Paul says leave all
these ABCs of Christ behind
let us go unto perfection amen
perfection is Christianity perfection is
what Christ has accomplished amen then
is it therefore it is impossible for
those who were once enlightened if you
refuse to to go on to perfection you go
back to this ABCs of Christ which is
actually Judaism Old Testament you go
back to the law it's impossible for
those who were once enlightened it
didn't know about Jesus and they still
go back to the law it's impossible to
renew them to repentance um you
understand they're okay some people
dispute that and say that it says that
there they were once enlightened they
tasted the good word of God they tasted
the powers of the world to come you see
they were tasters but you're not
drinkers amen they were once enlightened
just like Judas Judas is enlightened
Christ is the Messiah
Judas believe he's the Messiah Judas did
miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit
on him not in him in fact some people
say that Judas lost his salvation he
cannot lost his salvation because none
of the disciples were safe they were
disciples but they were not they were
not born again they cannot be born again
because Christ has not yet died it's
only by the blood of Jesus Christ by his
death and resurrection that we can be
born again amen
the price must be paid so in the Old
Testament all right even during the time
of Jesus in Matthew Mark Luke and John
Jesus came full of grace but he was
still under the Old Covenant he has not
yet died the Old Covenant has not yet
come to his finished amen to his
completion to its fulfillment that will
happen at the cross so the disciple
twelve disciples they were all followers
they were disciples they had the Holy
Spirit on them they didn't have the Holy
Spirit in them and with the Holy Spirit
on them they could do miracles they can
cast out devils they can cleanse the
lepers they can raise the day they do
all kind of miracles you know it is very
interesting to me when people say things
like what about Hebrews six pass the
trains and I like to draw back you know
this kind of an answer isn't it
wonderful is this it's impossible for
God to lie when God says surely blessing
our bless you but no one talks about
that impossible they are referring to
the first impossible
actually there are two Impossibles in
Hebrews six the first impossible says is
impossible if your once enlightened to
repent if you turn your back on Christ
everyone seems to know that but before
the chapter ends is this is impossible
for God to lie when God says he wants to
bless you amen is impossible to escape
his blessing we don't we do not know
about that impulse because the first
impossible has got to do with men if
anything got to do with men we have
every reason to fear the second
impossible has got to do with God and
therefore we have every reason to
rejoice in faith and look at the
contrast the first impossible says
impossible for those who were once
enlightened they tasted the good word of
God they tasted the powers of the world
to come
Judas for example did miracles did great
exploits power gives you have taught
that all these will end up Wells and it
end up with nothing but look at the the
other impossible the impossible of God
it says that all of us have fled for
refuge to lay hold upon the hope set
before us now nothing could be nothing
is nothing will be weaker than a picture
of a man fleeing how many agree and yet
it tells it tells us all of us have fled
for refuge to lay hold upon the hope
which is Christ amen we have all fled so
it seems like fleeing compared to those
who are doing miracles and all that this
is strong gives this strong power and
with nothing this once in the weak faith
but it's met with the fullest richest
and the most permanent blessings amen is
it amazing and yet we are so conscious
of this all right so if you want more
teaching on that get my last teaching on
him what
Hebrew six alright we covered there now
we go to a next question that people
were asked when those advocates of you
know they don't believe that God gave us
eternal salvation
they were bring this verse up what about
Hebrews 10 how many heard that before
Hebrews 10 so that's great Hebrews 10 if
you're not freaked out yet let me just
freak you out right now okay with
Hebrews 10 so these are the passage that
they were bring up for if we sin
willfully after we have received the
knowledge of the truth there no longer
remains a sacrifice for sins but a
certain fearful expectation of judgment
and fiery indignation which will devour
the adversary's must sound like you know
really at returning Israel all right
anyone who has rejected Moses law dies
without mercy on the testimony of two or
three witnesses
how much more was punishment do you
suppose will he be thought worthy who
has trampled the son of God underfoot
thundered the blood of the Covenant by
which he was sanctified a common thing
and insulted the spirit of grace Wow how
much sorrow punishment so when when when
someone just reached this out of his
context
guess what they get fearful alright when
actually the whole context here has got
to be seen in his context so let's look
at this chapter starts with if we sin
willfully let's go back to verse 26 for
if we sin willfully now how many agree
after you are saved honey can say saved
are you saved
really really saved praise God heaven is
your home God is your father your sins
are all forgiven amen praise God blessed
be the Lord Jesus said I give them
eternal life and they shall never perish
and never there is a double negative in
the Greek who may never ever by any
means perish now we have said never
allow an obscure passage rob you of the
joy and certainty of clear passages
remember okay if you come across an
obscure passage go back to once Jesus
gives you eternal life you will never
perish all right or else Jesus lied
amen are you with me so when you see
your obscure past
don't don't let the obscure passage rob
you of the joy of the sudden passage for
example for God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten Son that
whosoever believes are you one of the
whosoever Amen or are you a monkey or a
horse are you whosoever yes if you
believe on Christ yes you will not
perish but you have everlasting life
amen
so these are clear passages amen so keep
that in mind as you look at obscure
passages okay
