excerpt from Joseph Prince calm
the way it says we’re not just married
to the Jesus the lowly Jesus when he hid
his glory as a man walk among the poor
the needy the oppressed the downcast the
despised of society the social outcasts
the prostitutes the tax collectors and
healed them restored them bless them
we’re not married to that part of Jesus
when he was on earth we are married to
Jesus when he was raised from the dead
you know what that means the one who is
glorified with all authority glory and
power
that’s who you’re married to
if you were poor you’re no longer poor
if you were weak you’re no longer weak
but remember this in and of ourselves we
are weak when we pray for people in the
name of Jesus it’s no more you it’s not
how strong you are how powerful how
anointed you are whether you prayed
seven hours a day whether you fasted
last night it’s a matter of you it’s
matter him is the power of attorney so
this woman is married to the one who is
raised from the dead that’s you and I
all right but when we were in the flesh
now remember those days when you were in
the flesh the sinful passions which were
aroused by the law where work in our
members to bear fruit to death people
don’t realize that those who teach that
that those who preach a law they’re
antinomian no no in fact I am for the
law for the reason God gave the law so
antinomian adores who were enticed
against Nomos is law in greek antinomian
are those who are against the law in
other words they are not preaching the
truth if God gave the law not to justify
of the sanctifying men by you must
preach like God what God said
then you’re not antinomian but if you
say men can keep the law you are a true
antinomian because you are not preaching
what God gave the law for God gave a lot
to bring men to the end of himself
are you listening people all right so
notice here what aroused the sinful
passion the sinful passions when we were
in the flesh even today as believers
after you’re saved the flash is still
the flash is still the flash is still
the flash
don’t forget that any of us can fall
into adultery any of us can fall into
sin alright the moment we miss looking
at our husband we miss spending time
with him and commune with him we still
can sin the flesh is still the flesh
until Jesus comes in the rapture will no
longer have that flesh but a glorified
body and the flesh is not the body but
the same principle in the body it’s
still there do you understand but it
doesn’t define you it is not you you are
the new creation but the flesh is still
there okay now what arouses our sinful
passions of our flesh the sinful
passions which were aroused by the law
whoa
and then the result bears fruit to death
verse four bear fruit to God here bear
fruit to death your flesh wants a law to
arouse it let me just illustrate look
look up here people okay a glass of
water with dirty sediments all right
after you you you you you you leave it
aside for one hour
all right the sediments go down in the
water and the water looks clear but it
settled down to your flesh it is there
the potential for any of us to be a
murderer or whatever is there in the
flesh but it’s not you if I have a
splinter in my finger a wood piece of
wood I am NOT wooden
but it’s in my flesh do you understand
people all right so after the water
settles down other sediment settle down
the water looks clear but don’t drink it
why they’re still sediments there now as
long as the sediments are down there
people think they are okay many people
don’t feel need to come to Jesus to be
saved because I’m called here I’m not
I’m a like murderer I’m not part of this
group I’m not part of that group
hi I’m a decent guy I take care of my
family and I’m saying I’m a I’m an okay
guy I’m not perfect I’m okay guy and I’m
saying they don’t see their need for
Jesus because all they they have is
outward you like that water the
sediments have settled it looks clear
bye it’s dangerous for you to drink so
God introduce the law the silver spoon
stir the spoon nothing wrong with a
spoon but when the spoon stirs the water
yes one the sediment goes up now can you
say the spoon produce the dirt the spoon
bring about the dirt know that that was
a read a but the spoon the law stirs it
up
it’s what this verse is saying are you
listening people we are delivered from
the law a pastor Prince again this law
is not the Ten Commandments look at the
context context is king Louie the
context drop to verse seven what shall
we say then is the law sin certainly not
on the contrary is a spoon sin no
nothing wrong with a spoon okay but the
spoon and the stirring of the flesh
cannot go together
so here states on the country I would
not have known sin except through the
law what law is this ceremonial read for
I have not run I would not have known
covetousness or loss unless the law had
said you shall not lust so Paul is
saying that last commandment got me
so when when the context is very clear
when it stays we have believe it from
the law it’s not ceremonial law it is
the Ten Commandments does that mean that
today we can commit adultery we can lie
you know on on our text returns no we
are delivered from the law having died
to what we were helped by so that we
should serve in newness of the spirit
and not in the onus of the letter let me
show you what it means all right we are
delivered from the law in other words to
follow the spirit I like the amplified
translation of this the amplified stays
on that path so now we serve not under
obedience to the old code of written
regulations but under obedience to the
promptings of the Spirit in newness of
life in other words I live by the
prompting of the Spirit the law says
don’t commit adultery that’s all it says
but the Spirit says today buy something
special for your wife the Spirit will
say all right don’t just cross her in
the living room stop for a while touch
your hand and say I love you and then go
do your stuff touch say go that’s good
the sphere of God teach you things like
that
so the law thou shalt not commit
adultery didn’t you know you can keep
the law outwardly and have no love for
your spouse there are those who don’t
commit adultery but they have no love
for their spouse is that holiness talk
to me
pastors and leaders those who teach
against grace
tell me does that produce holiness no
but we follow the prompting of the
Spirit
not only you don’t commit adultery it
tells you those people never from you to
divorce your spouse you never prompt you
to kill someone all right
but more than that he prompts you for
example you got a problem with with
smoking all right and you asked a lot to
help you in this area the spirit may
prompt you to change your lifestyle in
another area maybe this is causing you
stress that causes you to small so the
spirit is amazing when you obey the
prompting of a spirit that leaf that
dry leaf falls off are you listening
people amen
in other words we’re not free from the
law to do nothing or to rebel no we are
free from the law through Christ’s death
so that we can obey the holy spirit
you’re either let by governed by the law
or you are led by the spirit you cannot
have both amen so listen to the spirit
before you sign a contract stop listen
to the spirit the many advice get as
many advice as you want it’s okay no
problem but at the end is there peace
or a lack of it even if something seems
good you’re about to execute it is there
peace if there’s no peace stop the Lord
is leading you and when the Lord is your
Shepherd you are not like your driving
fast and the spirit promised you and say
slow down here slow down here slow down
here listen to the spirit in other words
when we are free from the law the Spirit
becomes active when you’re under law
you’re saying I don’t need the Holy
Spirit all right I got the law so I
think they’re free from the law to obey
the spirit are you with me so far
now does that mean there’s no there’s no
instruction exhortation and new
Testament all full of it but the things
that we rest and obey the spirit in the
performance of it if the Spirit tells
you rests this month don’t work so hard
you better obey or else he arise the
month
after that you have high blood pressure
then things a god where are you because
it hours they incite you prompting you
so the thing is that when we follow the
spirit don’t say he’s your Shepherd when
when he’s not effectively leading you so
whatever you are faced with right now in
your life whatever is children problem
and all that okay even your prayer the
Lord say don’t pray for this but his
rebellious I’m praying against the
rebellion because he don’t pray against
the rebellion pray that this fear he has
in his school about what others think of
him prayed that I removed them he will
teach you even want to pray and then
this problem falls off that they live in
everything I’m going to be led by the
spirit and what hinders the floor the
it is the law you cannot be married to
both crisis in you you cannot you cannot
you know be married to mr. law I can
keep the law I can keep the log and you
fail you go to cheese SOG that I feel
forgive me oh Jesus ever that you say I
feel strong now mr. law you know him
that’s adultery that’s spiritual
adultery now you’re married to Jesus
alone without the law are you with me
people all right you’re bringing this to
a close I was a life once without the
law when the commandment came sin
revived and I died so demons memorize
this verse you better know that this
verse is telling you clearly when the
commandment came sin revived so in the
in the corridors of Satan’s headquarters
all the apprentice see this plaque on
the wall how to revive sin introduce
commandment the devil won’t come to you
and say hey you know adultery is okay
come on adultery is alright nothing
wrong adultery he won’t come like that
he’ll come to you and say don’t commit
adultery don’t commit the more you think
don’t commit adultery the more
guess what is stirring your
don’t-don’t-don’t you know like like
your problem is looking at a woman and
you start thinking you know toss you
should have been thinking so you get in
the money slot today I determine in the
name of Jesus built our brother Villa
power in the name of Jesus I will not
lust after any woman I will not last
after any woman I will not look at any
woman you come out then you see a
Scottish men wearing kilts passed by
I’m gonna stand the very trying stirs up
it’s not a life of rest Christian life
is a life of rest the more you rest the
more God performs don’t think for one
moment that the life of rest is an idle
life is a lazy life no one is more
rested than Jesus Christ in three and a
half years you study the Gospels he was
so cool he’s always at the right place
at the right time he has time walking to
raise Jairus daughter who is dying he
has time for the woman to talk to the
woman who was healed he has time to go
or any place he always has time he moves
in the rhythm of grace
he’s always restful and yet no one
accomplished more than Jesus Christ in
three-and-a-half years so the Christian
life is a life of rest and rest means
he’s active when you work here s when
you rest he works this excerpt is
