Romans – Paul’s Masterpiece on Grace: Week 1, Day 3

Many Christians use the word “gospel” but don’t know what it means. Today, it is almost a religious cliché. However, in Paul’s day, using the term made a radical statement. It was a way of referring to the grace of God, the free gift that allows us to obtain right standing with Him (Romans 1:16).

>> WELCOME TO GOSPEL TRUTH

WITH ANDREW WOMMACK,

A TEACHING MINISTRY

THAT FOCUSES ON GOD’S

>> UNCONDITIONAL
LOVE AND GRACE.

>> EVERY PERSON THAT HAS EVER

BREATHED ON THIS PLANET KNOWS

THAT THERE IS A GOD,

THAT THEY HAVE COME SHORT

OF WHAT HE WANTS THEM TO BE,

AND THAT THERE IS AN IMPENDING

JUDGMENT AGAINST THEIR SINS.

THAT’S WHAT ROMANS 1:18

>> THROUGH 20 IS SAYING.

>> AND NOW, HERE’S ANDREW.

WELCOME TO OUR WEDNESDAY’S

BROADCAST OF THE GOSPEL TRUTH.

TODAY’S MY THIRD DAY

TEACHING THROUGH

THE BOOK OF ROMANS.

I JUST STARTED THIS LAST MONDAY,

AND IN TWO DAYS,

I’VE ALREADY SAID

SOME AMAZING THINGS.

OR ACT…ACTUALLY PAUL SAID

SOME AMAZING THINGS.

I’VE JUST BEEN AMPLIFYING

ON IT.

YE…I’VE LAID THE FOUNDATION

PROBABLY FOR EVERYTHING ELSE

THAT WILL BE SAID

AS WE STUDY THROUGH

THE BOOK OF ROMANS,

AND SO IF YOU’VE MISSED

ANY OF THIS,

PLEASE GET THE MATERIALS

THAT WE’RE OFFERING.

WE’VE GOT A BRAND-NEW BOOK OUT

ON THIS.

YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE

AND YOU CAN LOOK AT

THE PREVIOUS TV PROGRAMS,

THEY’RE FREE OF CHARGE,

THEY’RE ARCHIVED THERE,

AND WE’VE JUST GOT

A LOT OF MATERIAL.

I’M ALSO OFFERING

MY LIVING COMMENTARY,

WHICH IS A DIGITAL COMMENTARY

ON 25,000 PLUS VERSES

IN THE BIBLE.

OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS,

I’VE BEEN WRITING THIS,

AND I TELL YOU, IT’S POWERFUL.

AND SO WE’RE OFFERING

ALL OF THESE THINGS.

WE’LL GIVE THAT INFORMATION

AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM.

I REALLY STARTED EMPHASIZING

IN ROMANS, CHAPTER 1,

VERSES 16 AND 17,

THAT THE GOSPEL IS

THE POWER OF GOD

UNTO SALVATION.

I SPENT TIME DEFINING

WHAT GOSPEL IS.

IT’S NOT WHAT THE RELIGIOUS

CLICHÉ OF TODAY MEANS

WHEN YOU USE THE WORD GOSPEL.

IT’S SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO

WHAT JESUS DID ON OUR BEHALF

AND IT’S ALL AVAILABLE TO US,

NOT BASED ON OUR PERFORMANCE,

HOW HOLY WE ARE,

BUT JUST BASED ON

WHETHER WE BELIEVE

AND RECEIVE,

OR DOUBT AND DO WITHOUT.

MAN, THAT’S NEARLY TOO GOOD

TO BE TRUE NEWS.

AND THE GOSPEL,

THIS GOOD NEWS ABOUT

THAT JESUS PURCHASED

EVERYTHING FOR US,

WE DON’T PURCHASE IT

BY OUR ACTIONS,

THAT’S THE POWER THAT RELEASES

NOT ONLY THE FORGIVENESS OF

SINS, BUT HEALING, DELIVERANCE,

PROSPERITY, JOY, PEACE,

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO MENTION.

ANYTHING THAT CAME

AS A RESULT OF JESUS’ SACRIFICE

FOR US IS PART OF SALVATION,

AND IT’S A SHAME

THAT THE CHURCH

HAS BROKEN SALVATION

INTO DIFFERENT SEGMENTS

AND SAYS, FORGIVENESS OF SINS

IS THE ONLY THING

THAT’S FOR EVERYBODY.

SOME PEOPLE HE
CHOOSES TO HEAL,

SOME CHOO…PEOPLE

HE CHOOSES NOT TO HEAL.

SOME PEOPLE MAY GET BLESSED

FINANCIALLY AND STUFF,

BUT THOSE ARE ADD-ONS,

THOSE AREN’T ESSENTIALS.

THAT’S NOT THE CORE

OF SALVATION.

ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, IT IS.

HEALING IS JUST AS MUCH

A PART OF WHAT JESUS CAME TO DO

AS TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS.

JOY AND PEACE IS JUST

AS MUCH.

YOU NEED TO BE DELIVERED

FROM DEPRESSION,

AND THAT IS A PART OF

YOUR SALVATION JUST AS SURELY

AS YOUR FORGIVENESS OF SIN IS,

AND IT’S A MISTAKE

THAT THE CHURCH HAS MADE

TO BREAK SALVATION

INTO CATEGORIES AND SAY

ONLY THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS,

THAT’S THE ONLY THING

THAT’S GUARANTEED.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS

MAYBE POSSIBLE,

BUT YOU CAN’T CLAIM IT,

YOU CAN’T STAND ON IT.

THAT’S WRONG,

AND THAT’S WHAT THESE VERSES

ARE COUNTERING.

AND YESTERDAY,

I SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME

ON ROMANS, CHAPTER 1,

VERSES 18 THROUGH 20,

WHERE IT SHOWS

THAT EVERY PERSON HAS

AN INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD,

FROM GOD, ON THE INSIDE OF THEM.

IT’S NOT SOMETHING

THAT THEY’RE TAUGHT.

IT’S INSIDE OF THEM.

IT’S LIKE A HOMING DEVICE.

GOD PUT A HOMING DEVICE

ON THE INSIDE OF

EVERY SINGLE PERSON

AND IF YOU WOULD JUST GET QUIET

AND THINK…

YOU KNOW, IT SAYS IN

PSALMS, CHAPTER 46, VERSE 10,

BE STILL, AND KNOW

THAT I AM GOD.

IF YOU GET STILL,

THIS LITTLE HOMING DEVICE STARTS

BRINGING UP THOUGHTS LIKE,

IS THIS ALL THAT THERE IS?

AM I MADE FOR SOMETHING MORE?

YOU KNOW, THERE ARE

THREE QUESTIONS THAT I BELIEVE

EVERY PERSON WHO HAS EVER

TAKEN A BREATH ON THIS PLANET

ASKS, AND THAT IS,

WHERE DID I COME FROM,

WHERE AM I GOING,

AND WHO MADE ALL OF THIS?

AND THOSE QUESTIONS,

EVERY PERSON, WHETHER

THEY’VE EVER BEEN TAUGHT

ANYTHING ABOUT GOD OR NOT,

THE…THEY HAVE THESE QUESTIONS,

AND THE HOLY SPIRIT REVEALS

IN AN INTUITIVE WAY TO PEOPLE,

EVEN GOD’S ETERNAL POWER

AND GODHEAD,

IS WHAT VERSE 20 SAYS.

AND AT THE CLOSE OF

YESTERDAY’S PROGRAM,

I WAS SHOWING THAT
EVERY PERSON,

EVERY PERSON,

HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM.

THIS IS THE ANSWER TO THOSE

WHO SAY, WELL, WHAT ABOUT

THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER

HEARD THE GOSPEL?

HOW IS GOD GOING TO

JUDGE THEM?

BECAUSE THEY HAVE THIS INTUITIVE

KNOWLEDGE ON
THE INSIDE OF THEM

AND HE WILL JUDGE THEM

BASED ON THE KNOWLEDGE

THAT THEY HAVE.

THERE IS NO PERSON

THAT’S EVER GOING TO

STAND BEFORE GOD AND SAY,

BUT I DIDN’T KNOW.

THEY MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN

EVERYTHING THAT YOU AND I KNOW,

BUT NO, EVERY
PERSON HAS KNOWN.

EVERY PERSON THAT HAS EVER

BREATHED ON THIS PLANET KNOWS

THAT THERE IS A GOD,

THAT THEY HAVE COME SHORT OF

WHAT HE WANTS THEM TO BE,

AND THAT THERE IS

AN IMPENDING JUDGMENT

AGAINST THEIR SINS.

THAT’S WHAT ROMANS 1:18

THROUGH 20 IS SAYING,

AND I KNOW THAT THERE’S MANY

PEOPLE TODAY PROFESSING THAT,

NO, I HAVE NO CONVICTION

WHATSOEVER.

THERE’S ONE OF

TWO THINGS HAPPENING.

EITHER THEY ARE LYING

TO THEMSELVES AND TO YOU

BECAUSE I BELIEVE

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS,

AND AT A HEART LEVEL THEY KNOW,

BUT THEY’RE JUST LIVING

IN THEIR MIND.

THEY’RE PLAYING MIND GAMES

AND THEY’RE DENYING ALL OF THIS.

BUT LIKE I SAID AT THE…

YESTERDAY’S PROGRAM,

AND WHEN I WAS IN VIETNAM,

I MET A NUMBER OF PEOPLE

THAT CLAIMED TO BE ATHEIST,

BUT WHEN THE BOMBS EXPLODED,

WHEN THE BULLETS GOT TO FLYING,

EVERY ONE OF THESE ATHEISTS

WERE CRYING OUT TO GOD

FOR MERCY, THE GOD THAT THEY

SAID DIDN’T EXIST.

IN A HEART LEVEL,

PEOPLE KNOW

THAT THERE’S A GOD.

SO THAT’S ONE OPTION IS

THAT THEY ARE JUST

LYING TO THEMSELVES

AND LYING TO YOU,

OR THE SECOND OPTION IS WHAT

ROMANS, CHAPTER 1,

GOES ON TO DESCRIBE RIGHT HERE,

THAT IF A PERSON JUST

REJECTS GOD OVER AND OVER

AND OVER, GOD WILL

CONVICT THEM,

BUT IF THEY PERSIST IN THAT,

GOD WILL JUST EVENTUALLY…

THEY’LL REACH A PLACE

TO WHERE THEY’LL CROSS

THIS LINE,

AND BECAUSE THEY DON’T

LIKE TO RETAIN GOD

IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE,

GOD WILL JUST TAKE

ALL CONVICTION AWAY FROM THEM

AND THEY BECOME

WHAT THE BIBLE HERE

CALLS, REPROBATE.

THAT MEANS, BEYOND CONVICTION.

THEY HAVE HARDENED THEMSELF,

AND NOW IT MAY BE TRUE

THAT THEY’RE SAYING,

I HAVE NO CONVICTION,

BECAUSE THEY ARE REPROBATE.

THEY REJECTED THE CONVICTION

THAT THEY HAD ORIGINALLY

AND IT’S AS IT SAYS OVER IN

1 TIMOTHY, CHAPTER 4,

THAT THEY SEAR THEIR CONSCIENCE

WITH A HOT IRON.

YOU KNOW WHAT

THAT’S A PICTURE OF,

IT’S LIKE IF YOU HAD A WOUND

OR SOMETHING

AND YOU DIDN’T HAVE A WAY

TO SEW IT UP

OR SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER

TO SURGICALLY REPAIR IT,

ALL OF US HAVE PROBABLY

SEEN SOME MOVIE

WHERE SOMEBODY WAS CUT

OR SOMETHING AND THEY JUST

TAKE A HOT IRON AND THEY PUT IT

OVER THERE AND IT SEARS IT,

BURNS THEIR FLESH,

IT KILLS THE NERVES.

THEY NO LONGER CAN

FEEL ANYTHING,

BUT IT WILL SEAL THE THING UP

AND KEEP INFECTION FROM

GETTING IN THERE.

AND IT SAYS THAT YOU CAN

SEAR YOUR CONSCIENCE,

YOU CAN DEADEN IT.

YOU CAN KILL YOUR CONSCIENCE,

AND THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE

TODAY WHO HAVE GONE SO FAR

THAT THEY HAVE DESTROYED

THEIR CONSCIENCE,

AND THEY MAY BE ACTUALLY SAYING

THAT THEY HAVE NO CONVICTION,

BUT IT WASN’T ALWAYS THAT WAY.

EVERYBODY STARTED OUT

WITH THIS INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE

OF GOD ON THE INSIDE,

BUT YOU CAN SEAR IT,

YOU CAN KILL YOUR CONSCIENCE.

I BELIEVE THAT MOST OF

THE PEOPLE WHO ARE

PROFESSING THAT THEY

HAVE NO CONVICTION

ABOUT THEIR LIFESTYLE

AND THE EVIL

THAT THEY’RE LIVING,

I THINK THAT THEY’RE LYING

TO THEMSELF AND TO US,

BUT IT IS POSSIBLE

THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE

WHO HAVE LITERALLY GONE SO FAR

THAT THEY NO LONGER HAVE

ANY CONVICTION,

AND ONCE THAT HAPPENS,

THEY’RE DAMNED.

THERE IS NO HOPE FOR THEM.

IT SAYS IN JOHN, CHAPTER 6,

VERSE 44, THAT NO MAN CAN

COME UNTO ME,

THIS WAS JESUS SPEAKING,

EXCEPT THE FATHER DRAW HIM.

YOU KNOW,

PEOPLE SAY THINGS LIKE,

I FOUND GOD.

GOD WASN’T THE ONE THAT LO…

WAS LOST,

AMEN.

YOU DIDN’T FIND GOD,

GOD FOUND YOU.

GOD’S BEEN KNOCKING
AT YOUR DOOR

AND TRYING TO GET
YOU TO RESPOND

TO HIM, AND SO,

GOD WAS DRAWING YOU

AND WHEN YOU GET SAVED

AND YOU SAY, I FOUND GOD,

NO, HE FOUND YOU

AND YOU FINALLY

OPENED UP THE DOOR

AND LET HIM IN.

BUT YOU CAN GET TO A PLACE

TO WHERE YOU
REJECT HIM SO MUCH

THAT HE SAYS,

IF THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT,

I’LL NEVER DRAW YOU AGAIN,

AND IF THAT HAPPENS,

IT’S IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU

TO GET SAVED.

YOU CAN’T COME TO GOD

WHEN YOU WANT TO COME TO GOD.

YOU HAVE TO COME TO GOD

WHEN HE IS KNOCKING
ON YOUR DOOR

AND DRAWING YOU.

YOU KNOW, IN MY
HEART RIGHT NOW,

I REALLY FEEL

THERE’S SOMEBODY…

THERE’S PROBABLY MORE THAN ONE

SOMEBODY WATCHING
THIS PROGRAM,

THAT RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE

LIVED A LIFE OF REJECTION.

YOU MAY BE ONE OF THOSE

THAT’S BEEN SAYING

THERE IS NO GOD,

I FEEL NO CONVICTION.

BUT YOU KNOW AT A HEART LEVEL,

YOU KNOW THAT YOU AREN’T GOD,

YOU KNOW THAT YOU NEED GOD

AND YOU’VE BEEN REJECTING HIM.

AND RIGHT NOW

GOD IS SPEAKING TO YOU

AND THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.

NOW THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY,

BUT THERE’S SOME PEOPLE

WATCHING THIS

THAT THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.

IF YOU WALK AWAY TODAY

AND TURN AWAY FROM GOD,

THERE IS NO GUARANTEE

THAT HE’S GOING TO

DRAW YOU AGAIN.

AND IF HE DOES NOT DRAW YOU,

NO MAN CAN COME UNTO JESUS,

EXCEPT THE FATHER DRAW HIM.

IF YOU DON’T RESPOND TODAY,

YOU ARE PUTTING

YOUR ETERNAL SOUL IN JEOPARDY.

YOU NEED TO RESPOND.

YOU KNOW, WE’VE GOT A NUMBER

ON THE SCREEN.

YOU CAN CALL, AND THERE’S PEOPLE

THAT WILL PRAY WITH YOU,

AND RIGHT NOW YOU COULD BE

BORN AGAIN.

I TELL YOU,

THIS IS LIFE AND DEATH

FOR SOME PEOPLE

WHO ARE WATCHING THIS PROGRAM

RIGHT NOW,

AND YOU NEED TO RESPOND.

IN ROMANS, CHAPTER 1, VERSE 20,

AFTER HE SAID ALL OF

THESE THINGS,

HE S…HE SHOWS YOU

FOUR THINGS, FOUR PROGRESSIVE

STEPS THAT PEOPLE TAKE

AWAY FROM THIS INTUITIVE

KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

TO HARDEN THEIR HEART

AND TO BRING THEM TO THIS PLACE

TO WHERE THEY ARE REPROBATE.

AND SO, IT SAYS IN

ROMANS, CHAPTER 1, VERSE 21,

IT SAYS, BECAUSE THAT,

WHEN THEY KNEW GOD,

THIS IS TALKING ABOUT

VERSES 18 THROUGH 20.

THIS INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE

IS THERE, THEY UNDERSTAND

EVEN HIS ETERNAL POWER

AND GODHEAD.

AND WHEN THEY HAD

THAT KNOWLEDGE, IT SAYS,

WHEN THEY KNEW GOD,

THEY GLORIFIED HIM NOT AS GOD,

NEITHER WERE THANKFUL;

BUT BECAME VAIN

IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS,

AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART

WAS DARKENED.

I’VE GOT AN ENTIRE SERIES

ON THIS, FIVE TEACHINGS,

THAT’S PROBABLY OVER

FIVE HOURS’ WORTH
OF TEACHING ON

THIS ONE VERSE, WHAT THIS MEANS,

TO…WHEN THEY KNEW GOD,

THEY DIDN’T GLORIFY HIM AS GOD,

THEY WEREN’T THANKFUL,

THEIR IMAGINATION BECAME VAIN,

AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART

WAS DARKENED.

I WISHED I COULD TEACH THAT,

BUT AGAIN, IT WOULD TAKE ME

FIVE WEEKS TO TEACH ON THIS

ONE VERSE.

SO I’VE GOT THIS TEACHING

ENTITLED, DISCOVER THE KEYS TO

STAYING FULL OF GOD.

THAT IS A POWERFUL TEACHING.

IF YOU WANT TO GET THAT,

YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE

AND YOU CAN GET THAT TEACHING.

BUT THIS…

WHAT THIS IS DOING IS DESCRIBING

PROGRESSIVE STEPS AWAY

FROM THIS TIME THAT YOU KNEW

THAT THERE WAS A GOD.

AT ONE TIME, EVERY PERSON

WATCHING THIS PROGRAM

KNEW THAT THERE WAS A GOD.

YOU KNEW THAT YOU HAD TO

BE ANSWERABLE TO SOMEBODY

FOR THE WAY

THAT YOU WERE LIVING,

AND AT ONE TIME YOU KNEW THAT,

BUT YOU CAN TAKE THESE

PROGRESSIVE STEPS AWAY

AND IF YOU DO,

YOU BEGIN TO DEADEN YOURSELF

TO THIS CONSCIENCE,

TO THIS INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE

OF GOD.

AND LOOK AT WHAT IT

GOES ON TO SAY.

IT SAYS, PROFESSING

THEMSELVES TO BE WISE,

THEY BECAME FOOLS.

THIS IS SO DESCRIPTIVE

OF OUR WORLD TODAY.

WE AS A WHOLE, OUR WORLD

IS CONTROLLED BY PEOPLE

WHO HAVE IGNORED GOD,

HAVE IGNORED HIS WAYS,

HAVE LEANED UNTO

THEIR OWN UNDERSTANDING,

AND THEY PROFESS THEMSELF

TO BE WISE, BUT THEY’RE FOOLS.

YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS…

AND I BELIEVE IT’S PSALMS 14:1

AND PSALMS 53:1,

THEY’RE BOTH IDENTICAL PASSAGES.

IT SAYS, THE FOOL HAS SAID

IN HIS HEART, THERE IS NO GOD,

AND WE’VE GOT PEOPLE

IN POSITIONS OF LEADERSHIP

ALL OVER THE WORLD

WHO ARE PROFESSING

THAT THERE IS NO GOD,

AND WHETHER THEY EVEN

ACKNOWLEDGE GOD IN WORD,

IN DEEDS THEY PROFESS

THAT THERE IS NO GOD.

IT SAYS IN…

PSALMS, CHAPTER 36, VERSE 1,

THAT THE TRANSGRESSION OF

THE WICKED SAYS WITHIN MY HEART,

THAT THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD

BEFORE HIS EYES.

THE WAY THAT PEOPLE ARE LIVING

SHOWS THAT THERE IS

NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEM.

YOU KNOW, I JUST HEARD A MAN

GIVE AN OPEN REBUKE

TO PRESIDENT BIDEN,

AND HE SAID THAT BIDEN

PUT HIS HAND ON THE BIBLE

WITH HIS LEFT HAND AND SAID,

I SWEAR TO UPHOLD THESE TRUTHS

AND STUFF,

AND WITH HIS RIGHT HAND

HE SIGNED EXECUTIVE ORDERS

THAT KILLS MILLIONS OF

UNBORN BABIES,

THAT MAKES TAXPAYERS

PAY FOR THAT,

THAT SENDS MEN INTO

WOMEN’S RESTROOMS,

WHO APPROVED TRANSGENDERISM

AND IS PRESSING THIS,

PUSHING IT UPON US, SO THAT EVEN

CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES

ARE GOING TO BE
HELD ACCOUNTABLE

IF WE DON’T ALLOW TRANSGENDERS

AND HIRE THEM AND STUFF,

AND WE COULD…COME AGAINST US.

I TELL YOU, THAT’S EVIL,

AND THEY PROFESS THEMSELVES

TO BE WISE, BUT THEY’RE FOOLS.

IF THEY ACKNOWLEDGE GOD

IN WORD, BUT THEN THEY DENY HIM

IN DEED, THAT’S FOOLISH.

AND THIS IS SO DESCRIPTIVE OF

OUR WORLD.

THEY PROFESS THEMSELVES

TO BE WISE,

BUT THEY BECAME FOOLS,

AND CHANGED THE GLORY OF

THE INCORRUPTIBLE GOD

INTO THE IMAGE MADE LIKE

UNTO CORRUPTIBLE MAN,

AND TO BIRDS,

AND FOURFOOTED BEASTS,

AND CREEPING THINGS.

THIS IS TALKING ABOUT IDOLATRY.

AND ANYBODY WHO WOULD

LOOK AT SOMETHING

THAT YOU MADE,

EITHER A PIECE OF WOOD

THAT YOU CARVE

AND THEN YOU COVER IT WITH GOLD,

OR STONE THAT YOU CARVE OUT,

AND YOU FALL DOWN AND SAY

THAT’S YOUR GOD,

THAT IS JUST ABSOLUTELY FOOLISH.

AND OF COURSE,

IDOLATRY OF WORSHIPPING

AN IMAGE ISN’T AS PREVALENT

TODAY AS IT HAS BEEN

IN TIMES PAST,

BUT THE BIBLE SAYS IN

COLOSSIANS 3:5 THAT
COVETOUSNESS

IS IDOLATRY, AND THERE’S MANY

PEOPLE IN AMERICA

AND IN THE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES

OF THIS WORLD

WHO HAVE MADE POSSESSIONS,

THINGS, THEIR GOD,

AND THAT’S IDOLATRY

AND IT’S FOOLISH.

AND IF YOU ARE PUTTING

MAKING MONEY

AND BEING SENSITIVE…

YOU’RE…YOU’RE BASICALLY BEING

BRIBED BY MONEY,

YOU WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES

TO GET MONEY,

YOU’RE AN IDOLATER

IS WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS,

AND YOU MAY PROFESS YOURSELF

TO BE WISE, BUT THAT’S FOOLISH,

AND THERE WILL COME A DAY

THAT YOU WILL STAND BEFORE GOD

AND YOU WON’T HAVE

YOUR FANCY CAR

AND YOUR FANCY HOUSE

AND YOUR NICE CLOTHES

AND JEWELRY AND STUFF

AND YOU’LL STAND THERE

NAKED BEFORE THE ONE

WHO YOU’VE DESPISED

AND YOU’LL HAVE TO GIVE

AN ANSWER FOR IT.

THAT’S FOOLISH.

MAN, IF YOU WERE THINKING

LONG-TERM, YOU WOULD NEVER

DO THAT.

IN VERSE 24 IT SAYS,

WHEREFORE GOD ALSO

GAVE THEM UP TO UNCLEANNESS

THROUGH THE LUSTS OF

THEIR OWN HEARTS,

TO DISHONOUR THEIR OWN BODIES

BETWEEN THEMSELVES.

THIS IS TALKING ABOUT

THAT THEY HAD

AN INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE,

BUT YOU CAN TAKE

PROGRESSIVE STEPS AWAY,

GET TO WHERE YOU DON’T PUT

THE PROPER VALUE ON GOD,

YOU AREN’T THANKFUL FOR

WHAT HE’S DONE.

YOU BEGIN TO IMAGINE

VAIN THINGS,

YOUR HEART BECOMES HARDENED,

YOU START PROFESSING
YOUR WISDOM

ABOVE GOD’S WISDOM.

AND IF YOU DO THAT,

GOD’LL LET YOU GO.

HE’S NOT GOING TO FORCE HIS WAY

UPON YOU, AND IF YOU JUST

KICK AGAINST HIM EVERY WAY

THAT YOU CAN,

YOU CAN PASS THIS POINT

OF NO RETURN

TO WHERE HE’LL SAY,

THAT’S THE PATH YOU’VE CHOSEN,

I’LL NEVER CONVICT YOU AGAIN.

THAT’S A DANGEROUS THING.

AND LOOK AT THIS,

THIS APPLIES TO OUR

SOCIETY TODAY.

IN VERSE 25, IT SAYS,

WHO CHANGED THE TRUTH OF GOD

INTO A LIE, AND WORSHIPPED

AND SERVED THE CREATURE

MORE THAN THE CREATOR,

WHO IS BLESSED FOR EVER MORE.

FOR THIS CAUSE

GOD GAVE THEM UP

UNTO VILE AFFECTIONS:

FOR EVEN THEIR WOMEN

DID CHANGE THE NATURAL USE

INTO THAT WHICH IS

AGAINST NATURE.

THIS IS TALKING ABOUT LESBIANISM

AND IT CALLS IT

A VILE AFFECTION.

TODAY OUR SOCIETY IS SAYING,

OH NO, THIS IS NORMAL,

THIS IS NATURAL, THIS IS THE WAY

THAT GOD MADE ME.

AND IF YOU STAND UP AND SAY

THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS SIN

AND IT’S EVIL,

THEN THEY COME AGAINST YOU

AS A HOMOPHOBE,

THAT YOU’RE IN HATE SPEECH.

I’M NOT IN HATE SPEECH.

I’M TELLING YOU IT’S A SIN.

IT’S LIKE ANY OTHER SIN.

IT’S LIKE ADULTERY,

IT’S LIKE LYING,

IT’S LIKE STEALING,

IT’S LIKE MURDER.

IT’S WRONG, BUT IT CAN

BE FORGIVEN.

I LOVE PEOPLE WHO SIN.

I’VE SINNED,

AND I TURNED TO THE LORD

AND GOD HAS FORGIVEN ME

OF MY SINS.

I’M NOT SAYING

THAT GOD HATES YOU,

BUT I AM SAYING

HE HATES THAT SIN.

HE CALLS IT A VILE AFFECTION.

AND IN THE NEXT VERSE,

IT SAYS, AND LIKEWISE ALSO

THE MEN, LEAVING THE NATURAL

USE OF THE WOMEN,

BURNED IN THEIR LUST

ONE TOWARD ANOTHER;

MEN WITH MEN

WORKING THAT WHICH IS UNSEEMLY,

AND RECEIVING IN THEMSELVES

THAT RECOMPENCE
OF THEIR ERROR,

WHICH WAS MEET.

THIS IS TALKING ABOUT

HOMOSEXUALITY BETWEEN MEN.

AND IT SAYS,

THEY RECEIVE IN THEIR FLESH

THE RECOMPENCE.

THE WORD RECOMPENCE MEANS

A PAYING BACK.

THERE’S A WAGE TO SIN.

ROMANS 6:23, THE WAGES OF SIN

IS DEATH, AND THERE’S MULTIPLE

THINGS INCLUDED HERE.

DID YOU KNOW

THAT THE HOMOSEXUALS,

THEY…THEY HAVE ALL OF THESE

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE.

AIDS ORIGINALLY STARTED

IN HOMOSEXUALS.

IT’S MORPHED INTO

WHERE YOU CAN GET IT

IN MULTIPLE WAYS NOW,

BUT THAT WAS THE DOMINANT WAY

THAT IT WAS

ORIGINALLY TRANSMITTED,

AND THAT FAR OUTSTRIPPED

ANY COVID-19…

THE DEATH RATE FROM THAT,

AND YET WE DIDN’T SHUT DOWN

THE WORLD AND THE ECONOMY

OVER THAT.

THIS SAYS THAT THERE ARE

CONSEQUENCES, AND YOU RECEIVE

IN YOURSELF.

HOMOSEXUALS, LESBIANS,

THE SUICIDE RATE AMONG THEM

IS MULTIPLE TIMES GREATER

THAN AMONG HETEROSEXUALS.

THAT’S PART OF THIS RECOMPENCE

THAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT.

IT GOES ON TO SAY,

AND EVEN AS THEY DID NOT LIKE

TO RETAIN GOD

IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE,

GOD GAVE THEM OVER

UNTO A REPROBATE MIND,

TO DO THOSE THINGS

WHICH ARE NOT CONVENIENT;

BEING FILLED WITH

ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS,

FORNICATION, WICKEDNESS,

COVETOUSNESS, MALICIOUSNESS;

FULL OF ENVY, MURDER, DEBATE,

DECEIT, MALIGNITY; WHISPERERS,

BACKBITERS, HATERS OF GOD,

DESPITEFUL, PROUD, BOASTERS,

INVENTORS OF EVIL THINGS,

DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST LIKE

YOU’RE READING THROUGH

OUR NEWSPAPERS TODAY.

EVERY ONE OF THESE THINGS

IS ON THE MAIN HEADLINES

OF OUR PAPERS.

THIS IS IN EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS,

AND NOTICE

THAT IT LISTS BEING PROUD

AND DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS

RIGHT ALONG WITH MURDER

AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

TODAY, PRIDE IS ENSHRINED

AND PROMOTED.

MAN, I COULD SPEND

A LOT OF TIME ON

ALL OF THESE THINGS.

IT GOES ON TO SAY,

WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING.

MAN, IS THIS DESCRIPTIVE OF

THINGS TODAY.

PEOPLE ARE JUST…

I…I WONDER SOMETIMES,

HOW DUMB CAN YOU GET

AND STILL BREATHE?

SOME OF THE THINGS

THAT THEY DO

THAT ARE DESTROYING
OUR SOCIETY,

THEY DON’T HAVE UNDERSTANDING.

THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC

OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE DENIED

THIS INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

PLACED ON THE INSIDE OF THEM

AND THEY HAVE JUST REJECTED IT

AND THEY’VE PASSED THIS POINT

OF NO RETURN

TO WHERE THEY’RE REPROBATE.

YOU KNOW, A SIMILAR THING

IS SAID OVER IN

2 THESSALONIANS, CHAPTER 2,

AND IT SAYS,

BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T RECEIVE

A LOVE OF THE TRUTH,

THEY’LL BE SENT

A STRONG DELUSION,

THAT THEY MAY BELIEVE A LIE.

AND IT GOES ON TO SAY

IN VERSE 32,

WHO KNOWING THE JUDGMENT

OF GOD…

AGAIN, THIS IS THE INTUITIVE

KNOWLEDGE THAT WAS PUT ON

THE INSIDE OF EVERYBODY.

THEY KNOW IT’S WRONG TO DO

THE THINGS THAT THEY’RE DOING,

BUT THEY’VE CONVINCED

THEMSELF OTHERWISE.

WHO KNOWING THE JUDGMENT

OF GOD, THAT THEY WHICH COMMIT

SUCH THINGS ARE
WORTHY OF DEATH,

NOT ONLY DO THE SAME,

BUT HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM

THAT DO IT.

BOY, THIS IS DESCRIPTIVE OF

OUR WORLD, AND ACCORDING TO

THESE SCRIPTURES,

IT SHOWS THAT EVERYONE HAD AN

INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

AT ONE TIME,

SO THAT THEY’RE WITHOUT EXCUSE,

BUT YOU CAN TAKE

PROGRESSIVE STEPS AWAY.

YOU CAN DENY IT AND REJECT IT

AND JUST PUSH GOD AWAY,

AND EVENTUALLY REACH A PLACE

TO WHERE GOD SAYS,

ALRIGHT, IF THAT’S THE WAY

YOU WANT TO LIVE,

YOU CAN LIVE THAT WAY,

I’LL NEVER BOTHER YOU AGAIN.

AND ACCORDING TO 6:44,

IT SAYS, NO MAN CAN

COME UNTO ME,

JESUS SPEAKING,

EXCEPT THE FATHER DRAW HIM.

IF GOD DOESN’T DRAW YOU,

IF GOD QUITS CONVICTING YOU

ABOUT SIN, YOU’RE DAMNED.

THERE IS NO WAY.

YOU CAN’T CHOOSE SALVATION

WHEN YOU WANT TO.

YOU HAVE TO BE DRAWN BY GOD.

I’VE HAD PEOPLE BEFORE

SAY THE WORD HOMOSEXUALITY

ISN’T EVEN USED IN SCRIPTURE,

THE BIBLE DOESN’T SAY ANYTHING

AGAINST IT.

THAT IS IGNORANCE GONE TO SEED.

YOU KNOW, THE
WORD HOMOSEXUAL

WASN’T EVEN FIRST USED

UNTIL THE LATE 1800s.

OF COURSE IT’S NOT IN THE BIBLE,

BUT THIS IS TALKING ABOUT

HOMOSEXUALITY.

WOMEN HAVING RELATIONSHIPS

WITH WOMEN,

MEN LEAVING THE…

THE NATURAL USE OF THE WOMEN

AND BURNING IN THEIR LUST

TOWARDS THE OTHER.

THIS IS TALKING

ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY

AND THIS IS SAYING THAT ON

THE TRAIN THAT GOES DIRECTLY

TO HELL, HOMOSEXUALITY

IS THE LAST STOP

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE THERE.

THAT’S WHAT THIS IS SAYING.

AND I GUARANTEE YOU,

THE WAY HOMOSEXUALITY

IS BEING ENSHRINED

AND PROMOTED AND EVEN FORCED

DOWN THE THROATS OF PEOPLE,

WE’RE TEACHING IT TO OUR KIDS

IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

THAT THEY CAN ENGAGE IN

HOMOSEXUAL SEX,

AND THEY’RE TEACHING

THE TECHNIQUES IN OUR

SCHOOL SYSTEM AND STUFF…

I TELL YOU WHAT,

THIS IS THE LAST STOP.

IF WE DON’T STOP THIS,

IF WE DON’T DEAL WITH THIS,

I…I THINK THAT THERE IS

NO HOPE.

HOMOSEXUALITY IS LIKE

THE TIP OF THE SPEAR

AND IT’S WHAT SATAN IS USING

TO PENETRATE AND TO FORCE

THESE THINGS, AND IT’S UNGODLY.

THIS IS WHAT THESE VERSES

ARE SAYING, AND SO PEOPLE KNOW

THESE THINGS INTUITIVELY.

THEY CAN GET TO
A PLACE TO WHERE

THEY HARDEN THEIR
HEART SO MUCH

THAT THEY DENY IT,

BUT AT ONE TIME,

EVERYBODY KNEW THIS.

AND SO WE’RE GOING TO FOCUS…

THE REST OF THIS BOOK

IS GOING TO START FOCUSING ON

THE GOODNESS OF GOD,

BUT THERE IS A PLACE TO

RECOGNIZE THAT YOU NEED GOD

AND THAT’S WHAT WE’VE BEEN

TALKING ABOUT.

I’M OUT OF TIME TODAY,

BUT ON OUR PROGRAM TOMORROW,

I’M GOING TO CONTINUE TEACHING

VERSE BY VERSE

THROUGH THE BOOK OF ROMANS.
