God sent His only Son to bear your sin, becoming sin itself, and then judged Him without mercy for your sin. The fight against sin and judgment has been raging since the dawn of time (beginning with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden), but amazingly, it ended in triumph over two thousand years ago with Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. Unfortunately, many have yet to discover this good news and remain in darkness, unaware that the sin problem has already been solved. In The War is Over, you’ll find answers that will release you from sin, condemnation, judgment, and fear. You are beloved by God, so cast aside your burdens and lean into His grace.

Welcome to our Christmas Day broadcast
of the Gospel truth I tell you what a
great day to celebrate the Advent of the
Lord this is what I’ve been talking
about for two weeks is out of Luke 2
verse4 where the Angels were singing and
praising God and saying glory to God in
the highest and on Earth peace Good Will
towards men and what I’ve been trying to
explain is that that wasn’t talking
about peace among men as most people
interpret it but rather it’s talking
about peace from God towards man that
the war between God and man was over and
so I’m offering this book the war is
over I’ve got this little uh brief
introduction to it this is just a
50-page summary of that whole teaching
we’re offering this as a free gift and
then a gift for any amount of this and
we’ve also got study guides DVDs CDs and
USBS and we also have all this material
in Spanish you know let me just go
back to Luke Chapter 2 and I’ve been
mainly just picking out verse 14 and
talking about one of those angels saying
glory to God in the highest but let me
read some of this what is typically
called The Christmas Story here in Luke
Chapter 2 and it says in verse six and
so it was that while they were there the
days were accomplished that she should
be delivered and she brought forth her
firstborn son and wrapped him in
swaddling clothes and laid him in a
Manger because there was no room for
them in the end and there were in the
same country shepherds abiding in the
field keeping watch over their flock by
night and lo the angel of the Lord Came
Upon them and the glory of the Lord
Shone round about them and they were
sore
afraid man there’s a lot of messages in
this I’m going to skip through some of
this but you know basically people have
this intuitive knowledge that they are
not all that God wants them to be and
anytime they get the presence of of God
revealed and it’s obvious that they are
in the actual presence of God fear is
just a normal reaction because we fear
rejection and Punishment because we know
we don’t deserve these things praise God
one of the things that the Angels were
celebrating here was that they said fear
not let me just go on and read this it
goes on and says U and the angel said
unto them fear not for behold I bring
you good tidings of great joy to all
people so instead of us fearing the
presence of God we should always
reverence God but we should not have
this Terror of rejection and Punishment
some kind of a denial from God because
the good news is that Jesus bore all of
our sins this is what I’m going to be
talking about all the rest of this week
today I’ve got some other things I’m
going to be sharing specifically about
the birth of Jesus but I’m going to be
talking about how that the sin situation
has been dealt with through the SA
sacrifice of the Lord Jesus and because
of that we should have no more fear when
we approach God or as it says in Hebrews
chapter 10 verse
2 that we should have no more conscience
of sin did you know that that’s
something that’s wasted on the vast
majority of people most Christians even
believe it’s good to have a sin
Consciousness they will say things like
I’m an old sinner saved by grace and
they just constantly are identifying
with all of their weaknesses and
failures and yet the scripture says that
we should have no more conscience of sin
sin has been dealt with through the Lord
Jesus now I’m talking to people who’ve
accepted the atonement of the Lord if
you haven’t yet accepted Jesus and made
him your personal savior then you even
though your sins have been atoned for
and the sacrifice have been made it
doesn’t do you any good until you put
Faith In Jesus and what he did for you
but for those of us who have accepted
Jesus man the fear should should be gone
the terror the fear of
rejection and so the angel said fear not
behold I bring you good tidings of great
joy which shall be to all people for
unto you is Born This Day in the city of
David a savior which is Christ the Lord
did you know that the word used for Lord
right there is the exact same word that
is used referring to God the Father
throughout the New Testament so Jesus
didn’t uh start as a little baby and
grow into God he was God manifest In the
Flesh at Birth he was Christ the lord at
his birth now his physical body was
human it was sinless human but it was
human and it had to grow it says in Luke
2: 52 that Jesus increased in wisdom and
in stature and in favor with God in man
his physical body had to grow his mind
had to grow he didn’t come out of the
womb speaking Hebrew he had to learn
things but in his Spirit he was God
manifest In the Flesh he goes on to say
in verse 12 and this shall be a sign
unto you you shall find the Babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes lying in a manger
and suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the Heavenly Host praising
God and saying glory to God in the
highest and on Earth peace Good Will
towards men and this 14th verse is what
I’ve been focusing on for the last two
weeks talking about that this is not
peace among man but it’s peace from God
towards man you know let me just make a
couple of comments here this is a little
bit off topic of what I’ve been saying
the last couple of weeks but seeing as
how this is Christmas day I just wanted
to share this with you and I’m going to
take this from my living commentary if
y’all don’t know about that I’ve I’ve
spent uh 40 something years writing
commentary notes on the Bible and I now
have 27,000 verses out of the 31,000
verses in the Bible that I’ve written
commentary on and here’s a commentary at
Luke 1 verse5 there was in the days of
Herod the king of Judah Judea a certain
priest named Zacharias of the course of
abah and his wife was of the daughters
of Aaron and her name was Elizabeth and
anyway the Dead Sea Scrolls when they
found them did you know over in the book
of uh Chronicles it lists David and
David established these 12 courses of
priests
actually there was 24 courses of priests
they would do a two we stin each time
and so for the whole year they rotated
and he listed what uh you know this the
people that were of this course of abah
when they were supposed to serve and the
Dead Sea Scrolls came out and they were
written U before the time of Christ and
and the Dead Sea Scrolls showed what
time this course of abah uh actually
functioned in the temple so Zacharias
was of the course of abah and if you of
course let me just go back and tell you
the story in case you don’t know but the
angel Gabriel appeared unto Zacharias as
he was in the temple doing his duty and
told him that he was going to have his
wife conceive and bring forth a son and
Elizabeth was well past the age of
having
children and so Zacharias actually
doubted that this was going to happen
even though he was a it was called he
was called a righteous man and that he
was blameless he El he and Elizabeth
were blameless before the Lord I’m sure
they had been praying for children but
it had been so long that when the angel
actually told him that his wife was
going to conceive and that she was going
to have a child that he just couldn’t
believe it and he he says how’s this
going to happen uh saying that his wife
was past childbearing age and anyway
Gabriel struck him dumb so that he
couldn’t talk and mess up the whole
thing and when he came out uh from doing
his Duty they perceived that he had seen
an angel or something because he was uh
dumb he was unable to speak and he just
gestured to him and it says that he went
home immediately and if you assume that
his wife Elizabeth conceived right away
well then that uh you can date that
because again the Dead Sea Scrolls say
exactly when his course was serving in
the temple and if you go here to Luke uh
chapter 1
when the angel appeared unto Mary it
says in verse 26 and in the sixth month
the angel Gabriel was sent from God un a
city of Galilee named Nazareth the sixth
month of what well the story right
before that was all about Elizabeth
conceiving and she was the mother of
John the Baptist and it was the sixth
month of her pregnancy that the angel
appeared un Mary and that she conceived
so if you add nine months the normal
time of a child being born to that six
months that Elizabeth was in her
pregnancy and if you add all of this up
looking at the time the course of AUM
served did you know it comes out to
exactly December the 25th so a lot of
people just think that this is an
arbitrary date I’ve thought that most of
my life and it really doesn’t matter to
me what day you celebrate because I
celebrate the birth of Jesus every
single day and I praise God for what
he’s done but I do think it’s
appropriate to set decide one day to
just totally focus on that and so I just
wanted to share this that these Dead Sea
Scrolls have confirmed that December the
25th I believe is the accurate day of
the birth of the Lord Jesus again that’s
not a pivotal issue but I do believe uh
that that is accurate let me also share
something else it’s a misconception
about the birth of Jesus over here in
Matthew chap 1 you read about the birth
of Jesus in verse 18 it it says now the
birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise
when as his mother Mary was espouse to
Joseph before they came together she was
found with child of the Holy Ghost now
this is really important the way this is
stated it says that she was found with
child in other words it was obvious that
she was pregnant you know many people
think that when the Lord appeared unto
Mary that she just immediately went and
told Joseph what had happened but that’s
not the way it’s presented here it says
she was found with child let me turn
over to Luke chter 1 I just read that
verse there in verse 26 when it says
that the angel came to her in the sixth
month and it says in verse 27 to a
virgin espoused to a man whose name was
Joseph of the House of David and the
virgin’s name was Mary and the angel
came in unto her and said hail thou that
are highly favored the Lord is with thee
blessed art thou among women and when
she saw him she was troubled at his
saying and cast in her mind what manner
of salutation this should be you know
again this is the point that I was
making earlier that the Angels appeared
under the Shepherds and immediately they
were afraid and the and the angel said
fear not here is Mary uh in the very
presence of an Angel and he told her he
this is amazing he says you are highly
favored man what a great greeting he
came and brought blessings and yet she
was troubled at this thing again this is
because we have all been raised with a
knowledge of our sins we have an
intuitive knowledge according to Romans
Chap 1: 18-2 and we know that we’ve come
short and every time you see a
manifestation of God’s presence people
just immediately fear if this Angel
would have told Mary something that
would have been a rebuke she probably
would have thought this was God but when
she heard something a blessing that she
was highly favored above all women she
was troubled at that same again Mary was
certainly blessed of the Lord to be able
to be chosen to be the one who brought
the physical body of Jesus into this
Earth but she was a uh person herself
contrary to what the Catholic Church
teaches she did not have an Immaculate
Conception she was a sinner herself
matter of fact in this same chapter when
she appeared unto Elizabeth she said my
soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit
hasth rejoiced in God my savior she
needed a savior just like all the rest
of us did
after Jesus had started his public
Ministry Mary and some of Jesus uh you
know half Brothers came and they wanted
to see him and he just basically ignored
him and finally somebody came and said
but your mother and brothers are without
and he looked around and he said who is
my mother or who is my brother says
those who do the will of God are my
mother and my brother and my sister and
so Jesus uh did not Elevate his mother
or his physical Brothers half Brothers
above other
people and so Mary was a blessed woman
but she was not a sinless woman she
needed a savior just like anybody else
you can’t pray to Mary and you cannot
get any extra pull with Jesus because of
you praying to Mary in verse 30 it says
and the angel said unto her fear not
Mary for thou has found favor with God
and behold Thou shalt conceive in thy
womb and bring forth a son and shall
call his name Jesus he shall be great
and he shall be called the son of the
highest and the Lord God shall give unto
him the Throne of his father David and
he shall reign over the the house of
Jacob forever and of his kingdom there
shall be no end then said Mary unto the
angel how shall this be seeing I know
not a man you know sometimes uh
people uh don’t understand that it’s
okay to ask questions if your question
is for the purpose of helping you to
understand understand not a question of
unbelief In This Very chapter you can
turn back to where the angel appeared
unto
Zacharias and uh he just immediately
doubted it says let me read this to you
in verse 11 this is Luke 1:1 and there
appeared unto him an angel of the Lord
standing on the right side of the altar
of incense and when Zachariah saw him he
was troubled and fear fell upon him this
is the third time in this one chapter
that when an angel appears unto people
immediately fear hits them because of
their uh awareness of their sinfulness
and their uh fear that they would have
some form of rejection but the angel
said unto him fear not Zacharias for thy
prayer is heard and thy wife Elizabeth
shall bear thee a son and thou shalt
call his name John and they shall have
joy and gladness and many shall rejoice
at his birth for he shall be great in
the sight of the Lord and shall drink
neither wine nor strong drink and shall
be filled with the Holy Ghost e even
from his mother’s womb and many of the
children of Israel shall he turn to the
Lord his God and he shall go before him
in the spirit and power of Elias to turn
the hearts of the fathers to the
children and the disobedient to the
wisdom of the just to make ready a
people prepared for the Lord and
Zachariah said unto the angel whereby
shall I know this for I am an old man
and my wife well stricken in years so
here’s Zacharias asking a
question but his question wasn’t for the
purpose purpose of understanding his was
a question of unbelief he was an old man
his wife was an old woman and they it
was just impossible for them to have
children so his question was full of
unbelief and look at the Angel’s
response in verse 19 and the angel
answered and said unto him I am Gabriel
that stand in the presence of God and am
sent to speak unto thee and to show thee
these Glad Tidings and behold Thou shalt
be dumb and not able to speak until the
day that these things shall be performed
because thou believest not my words
which shall be fulfilled in their season
so right here it shows that the angel
said you didn’t believe this question
was a question of unbelief and so it’s
it depends on why you ask a question if
you know the Bible says that uh verily
verily I say unto you the works that I
do shall ye do also and Greater Works
than these shall you do because I go
unto my Father John
14:12 and if you ask a question to say
God how can I do this and it’s not that
you’re doubting that you could do it but
God show me how give me wisdom how I can
start seeing the miraculous power of God
work in my life it’s okay to ask that
kind of a question but if you ask a
question like how could this ever happen
how could we do Greater Works than Jesus
see that’s a both of those may be
questions but one was expressing
unbelief the other one was expressing
Faith so Mary here when she says how
shall this be seeing I know not a man it
wasn’t a question of doubt she wasn’t
doubting God she was just saying how is
this going to happen I’m a virgin I I’m
not married I’ve never had sexual
relations praise God that she asked this
question because if she hadn’t have
asked this question she was already
engaged unto Joseph and it’s possible
that she might have just supposed that
it was going to happen through her Union
with Joseph and she might have just
rushed ahead and tried to think that
that was the way it was going to happen
that’s what happened with Abraham when
God told him he was going to have a
child he he and his wife Sarah were
unable to have a child for 26 years and
so finally they just decided that they
would help God out and Sarah gave her
handmade Hagar to Abraham and he went in
and had sexual relationships with her
and she’s the one that birthed ishmail
the father of all the Arabs the whole
Arab Israeli conflict that we see today
is happening because of somebody trying
to get in and figure out and help God
bring things to pass so there’s nothing
wrong with asking questions if your
question is just for clarification
praise God that she asked uh how was it
going to happen and the angel answered
and said unto her the Holy Ghost shall
come upon thee and the power of the high
shall overshadow thee therefore also
that Holy thing which shall be born of
thee shall be called The Son of God and
behold thy cousin Elizabeth sheath also
conceived a son in her old age and this
is the sixth month with her who is
called Barren for with God nothing shall
be impossible you know I believe that
this was probably a huge huge
encouragement to Mary because again
there was nobody that she could relate
to there had never been a virgin birth
there’s never been another virgin birth
since then this was just totally outside
of the realm of possibility it would
have been a hard thing to believe and
yet um she did believe but this would
have been an encouragement to go find
Elizabeth and find out if her cousin
Elizabeth who was an old woman and well
past the age of having children if she
was pregnant this would be a
confirmation that everything that this
angel had said to Mary would be true and
so Mary said behold the handmaiden of
the Lord be it unto me according to Thy
word and the angel departed from her and
Mary arose in those days and went into
the Hill Country with haste into a city
of Judea the reason I was reading this
was get to that 39th verse where it says
that immediately after the angel had
appeared unto her and told her that she
would have a child she immediately went
into the Hill Country to see Elizabeth
and the rest of this chapter talks about
when she entered in to greet her cousin
Elizabeth and of course you got to
remember they didn’t have communication
that we do they couldn’t call on a phone
they couldn’t send a telegram they
couldn’t text uh they lived miles
probably a day Journey apart from each
other and uh for her to just go and see
Elizabeth Elizabeth hadn’t heard
anything she didn’t know any of these
things but in the natural but
immediately when Mary’s salutation
sounded in her ears she began to
prophesy she was filled with the Holy
Spirit I believe that’s when John the
Baptist was filled with the Holy
Spirit and she began to prophesy and say
whence is it to me that the mother of my
Lord should come unto me she was talking
about Mary being pregnant
and the mother of the Lord even though
Mary was still a virgin she didn’t know
any of these things this was speaking by
the spirit of the Lord and the reason I
was bringing this out is to say that it
the way it’s implied right here she left
immediately to go see Elizabeth let me
just put it to you this way if you could
imagine that God was to appear to you
and tell you that you were going to have
a child and yet you had never been
married there was no physical
relationship how would you go tell your
fiance that you are pregnant but honest
I haven’t done anything wrong the the
Lord Came Upon me this is conceived of
the Holy Spirit how would you tell
Joseph about that I think it’s just
impossible that she could have done this
the way it’s implied it says over here
in Matthew chap 1: 18 that she was found
with child uh by Joseph and she spent
three months with Elizabeth until the
birth of John the Baptist when she came
back she was three months pregnant she
was already displaying that she was
pregnant and that’s when Joseph found
out about it I don’t believe that she
told him about this how could you tell
him and that’s the reason that he was
thinking of putting her away privately
and divorcing her but while he slept the
angel Gabriel appeared unto him and told
him that this was a supernatural birth
and told him that the name of the child
would be Jesus that’s the same thing
that he told Mary when they compared
comped his dream with her experience
with the angel it was a confirmation to
each other it helped them to believe and
I believe that if if he if she would
have tried to tell him that she had this
encounter and that it was the Holy
Spirit that impregnated her well then
when he had this dream it would have
been easy for him to write it off as she
planted these thoughts in me but because
he found her this way she didn’t try and
justify herself she left it up to God to
defend her
then when all of this happened it was a
great confirmation to Joseph and Mary
