Spirit, Soul & Body – Andrew’s Classics – Season 1 Ep. 10
You ought to be conscious of your righteousness in Christ instead of being sin conscious.
[Music]
well welcome to Andrew’s Classics where
we’ve been talking about Spirit soul and
body and this is one of the last days
that we’re actually going to be talking
about Spirit soul body is this is the
last day unfortunately but that’s okay
because you’re going to find these
principles stuned throughout our entire
time strewn throughout the entire time
as we’re talking to you on multiple
topics but again really please pay
attention during this this last session
I believe this is going to be really and
I know we’re going to say this at the
end but this is the last day that we
have our free product offer where you
can get Andrew’s booklet on Spirit soul
body so you definitely going to want
check that out as we give you directions
there at the end to call our prayer line
but I’m excited because this
foundational uh Revelation for Andrew
himself then um as we go into some of
our other episodes that we have planned
for you these topics truly are woven
through as as in your word shun
throughout everything which
shun through everything so that truly
you can build on the revelation of what
does this mean
to who am in the spirit and so we’re
going to ask Andrew some more questions
and we’re going to watch this this older
clip where we’re going to be really
talking about the really the difference
between Spirit versus flesh because the
flesh doesn’t become better it’s just
how you and I die to the flesh so that
more of that spirit of God can really
live with you know the flesh is not a
bad thing being being led by the flesh
is is the bad thing so it’s important
that we get that understanding as well
that we we honor the fact that we have
this physical body we take care of it
but we’re not led by it we’re led by the
spirit of God living on the inside of us
but again it’s a balancing it’s a
principles of balance it’s walking out
this understanding of What the Lord Has
Done For Us in his word and I believe
that as we jump into this next clip
you’re really going to be blessed amen
so grab out your pen and paper and watch
with us what is true about the Holy
Spirit is also true of your Born Again
spirit so when this verse is saying that
the fruit of the spirit capital S is
love joy peace you know what this is
also what your Born Again spirit is full
of your spirit is full right this moment
of love joy peace and all these other
nine things that were listed as the
fruit of the spirit now this is really
important because I know many of you
listening to me say now wait a minute I
don’t have any love matter of fact I’ve
been hurt and offended somebody’s done
something to me and right now I’m so
angry I could you know punch them right
in the face well that’s your flesh
that’s your physical emotions but if you
were born again I can guarantee you your
spirit within you has a love for those
people the same love that Jesus used
when he turned to the people who were
crucifying him and I mean they were
mocking him they had spit on him they
had thrown these accusations in his face
they stripped him naked they beat him
they put a crown of thorns on him and
they crucified him and he turned to
those very people and said father
forgive them for they know not what they
do did you know that that same type of
Love Is is in you right
now and again I know some of you are
saying no it’s not yes it is if you’re
born again but see the problem has been
most of us aren’t in touch with the
spirit we only go by what we can see
taste hear smell and feel we let our
physical emotions dictate to us and then
we have feelings in our emotions and we
let those control us but you know the
truth is there is another you the spirit
the part of you that was born again that
you cannot perceive reality in there
just going by circumstances feelings you
have to look in the word of God the
Bible says the words I speak unto you
they are spirit and they are Life John
6:63 so God’s word is spirit and it’s
life and whatever you reading God’s word
you just believe that this is true of
you and here’s what God’s word says that
the fruit of your spirit if you are born
again the fruit of the spirit that means
what the spirit is producing is love joy
and peace right now you do have love on
the inside of you and you know if you
could begin to believe that I’m not
saying that there may not be hatred in
your flesh in your
emotions but there is a love on the
inside you know recently I was in
Charlotte North Carolina and every year
we go down to a Street Ministry and we
feed the Homeless and then we share the
gospel with them and we just talk to
them and a few years ago I did the same
thing I was there on a Sunday morning
and I was talking to this one guy and he
got mad at me and anyway as I T he just
hauled off and I mean spit a big wad
right in my face and you know what as
this spit was running down my face I
guarantee you my flesh didn’t want to
say bless you brother I mean My Flesh
wanted to punch this guy’s light out I
didn’t like him spitting in my face but
see I I knew this truth too that I had a
spirit on the inside of me and that
Spirit loved him exact ly the same as
Jesus loved the very people who
crucified him now that knowledge didn’t
keep me from feeling that I wanted to
punch his lights out but you know what
because I knew that I was there was also
the part of me that loved him with God’s
kind of love it gave me a choice I
realized that I could either respond in
my flesh what I felt like doing or I
could respond with the love of God and
you know by the grace of God I was able
to just wipe that off and I never missed
a beat I never missed a word I just kept
talking to this guy and it really
shocked him he was surprised at it and
you know that’s happened hundreds of
times maybe not somebody spitting in my
face but people offending me people
doing things that my emotions want to go
this way but see I’ve come to realize
that the spirit on the inside of me is
always full of love joy peace all of
these things and this helps me to
discern whether is what I’m feeling
really God or not well God tells you how
his spirit is his spirit is always
operating in love his spirit is always
willing to forgive his spirit always has
Joy it always has peace when I get out
of Joy when I’m angry and when I’m
bitter and when I have no peace did you
know what I’ve identified the problem
I’m not in the spirit because the spirit
the Born Again Spirit on the inside of
me has those things
constantly understanding this allows me
to make choices that sometimes some of
you may not make because you think why
I’d like to forgive the person who’s
spitting in my face I’d like to forgive
the person who’s done this to me but the
truth is this is the way I feel and it’s
that’s just the way I am see you think
that’s the only option you’ve got but if
you begin to understand that there’s a
new you on the inside that your spirit
is exactly like Jesus how would Jesus
respond to your situation well Many Of
You’ have to say it’ be drastically
different than what I would do well you
know what that’s exactly the way way
your spirit wants to respond and you
have that choice I know that I went to
pritet Colorado and I started pastoring
a church there and this was a town of
only 144 people and when I went there
the church only had 10 people in that
church and I gave up everything that I
ever had for the first time in my life I
was finally surviving as a minister I
wasn’t really prospering yet but at
least the bill collector wasn’t
breathing down my neck and we were
eating and I left that position of
relative prosperity to go to a church of
10 people in a town of 144 people do you
know in the natural it looked like the
only way out of that place was feet
first there’s no way you could succeed
how in the world are you ever going to
make it and after I went there we saw a
man raised from the dead and it caused
no small stirring we started having a
hundred people come to church out of 144
we had 100 coming to church and I mean
it was awesome God was doing some
wonderful things and in the midst of it
people started coming against me and
persecuting me and accusing me of
adultery and murder and I mean
everything they were on the phones
accusing me of anything you could
imagine and you know what I just got
discouraged and I got the feeling like
man how dare these people they don’t
realize I gave up everything to come
here and I was waiting on Jamie and the
boys to go to bed so I could just have a
pity party I mean I sent out all my
invitations all the devils in the
country came and I was just waiting to
have a pity party and while I was
waiting on them to go to sleep you know
what happened I got to thinking of these
exact scriptures I’m using today that I
have love joy and peace and even though
my flesh wanted to just get down and
wallow in pity and just you know
sometimes you feel like having a pity
party will do you good but it won’t and
even though I want there was a part of
me that wanted to do that I started the
Lord started reminding me that the fruit
of the spirits love joy and peace all of
these things and you know what by the
time they actually got to sleep and I
was ready to just sit down and really
let it out and gripe and complain to God
I was thinking God you blessed me so
much I’ve got love joy and peace and
because of it I was able to just let go
of the hurt and the pain and start
worshiping God you have that on the
inside of
you so and we just finished watching
your clip on Spirit versus flesh and
this is powerful because you talk about
uh again with spirit’s home body which
been talking about that this whole this
whole series about we have all the
fruits of the spirit so last episode we
talked about we have the faith but this
aspect of that we have all the fruits of
the spirit and that’s what people uh
don’t realize because they go by their
emotions versus what the word says we
possess that’s right and I tell you
you’ve already got love and joy and
peace I’ll have people come up and say
would you please pray for me that God
would pour out his love in my life and
I’ll say no and it shocks them but the
scriptures says that God has already
commended his love toward us and that
while we were yet sinners Christ died
for us and then Galatians 5:22 you got
love joy and peace so actually when
you’re saying oh God please pour out
your love in my life you’re starting
from a position of unbelief yeah God
says you got love joy and peace you’re
saying no God I don’t and what you’re
saying is I don’t feel it yeah so
because I don’t feel it that means I
don’t have it and you’re in unbelief you
start a prayer and unbelief you aren’t
going to get good no no not a whole lot
of faith well and so then using that as
an example um you know you’ll have
people that will come up and then ask
for a revelation of how much God loves
them and that’s closer I pray for that
yeah that’s closer because it’s it’s
going back to what we talked about in
the last episode with faith it’s the
acknowledging now I will agree with
people that there are times that you
don’t feel the love of God you may feel
anything but love so it’s not wrong to
say oh God I know that love me and I
know that in my spirit I’ve got the uh
love of God already but I need to renew
my mind and basically from the things
I’ve learned in scripture your emotions
follow your thoughts and so if you
aren’t feeling the love of God it’s
because you’re thinking on all of the
negatives in your life or looking
forward and dreading what might come
yeah I’m not saying that you sit here
and never feel the love of God but and
you just say that God loves me but I
never feel it no that’s if you never
feel the love of God well then
something’s wrong because you do have
the love of God in you but your feelings
fluctuate based on what you think and we
live in a fallen world you know I think
one of the examples I used in this thing
was about a guy who’s spit in my face
yes uh as I was witnessing to him and I
guarantee you I didn’t feel love I felt
like the worm fuzzies but I’ve I’ve
learned that it doesn’t matter what I
feel like who I am in the spirit is the
real me and so I chose to operate in
faith towards this guy and love towards
this guy never rebuked him never did
anything to him so I didn’t feel uh love
towards this guy but I knew I had it and
so I just operated in and within a very
short period of time your feelings catch
up with what you’re you’re acting on
well that’s really good for everybody to
understand as well that you know every
single part of every single one of us
has a part that’s human that’s flesh
that that we sometimes we want to react
In the Flesh even people who have been
walking with the Lord and in Ministry
for more than 56 years uh I think that’s
important for people to to realize I can
say this though that the more you act
from the
spirit you retrain your Fe true uh I
think it’s Hebrews chap 5:14 straw meat
belongs to those who by reason of use
have their senses exercised to discern
both good and evil and you can actually
r knew your senses even your emotions
can get to where they start being more
and more like God I don’t think until we
get to heaven will we be totally free of
all negative emotions and stuff like
that but you can diminish the way that
they impact so you talk about yourself
sometimes that you know people accuse
you of not having any emotions because
you’re not a huge flamboyant extroverted
you know Giggles kind of personality but
I don’t go low I’m just always is about
to say so would when when you talk about
harnessing your emotions and your senses
to walk in the spirit would could people
say oh well that’s easy for you because
your personality is so steady already um
where you have other personalities are
huge characters and you know you know
lots and lots of emotion well it’s
harder for us would that be true or is
it the same exact principles that for
different personalities we choose who we
want to be people may not understand
that but you’re in you’re environment
influenced you but you have a choice
whether you become bitter or better yeah
Deuteronomy 30:19 says behold I call
Heaven and Earth to record against you
this day that I set before you life and
death blessing and cursing therefore
choose life that you and your seed may
live and so God gave us the choice and
people re this will offend some people
but your personality is the way you have
chosen it to
be and they oh no I was made this way I
was born with a type A
personality uh if you were the only
exception I would make it it could have
been demonic and was passed on to you
you can get that cast out of but you
know you can become the person that you
want to be I had this guy in Chicago
that was a pastor of a church and he was
raised in an alcoholic home and his
parents were drunk all of the time and
so he he would uh not even have he’d run
around in his underwear and I mean from
the time he was 6 or seven years old he
was a drunk he was an alcoholic every
once in a while the truin officers would
come get him and give him some clothes
and he would go to school for a week
until they got dirty but his parents
wouldn’t wash the clothes and he lived
like that and when he was 19 or
something he was crazy his mind was so
messed up he couldn’t remember anything
and they put him in a mental institution
wow and in this mental institution
somebody came by and witnessed to him
and he got born again and he was totally
changed and all of a sudden his mind was
clear but he didn’t have a childhood he
couldn’t remember anything wow because
he was drunk or Hound dope the whole
time so he asked this guy that led him
to the Lord so who am I what do I do and
the guy just said well read the Bible
and be like Jesus and so he started
trying to be like Jesus and the first
time I ever met this guy we went out to
eat he bought us all all this stuff he
did all of these things he was so nice
that when we got through I told Jamie I
said you keep your hand on your purse at
all times around that guy that guy
nobody is that nice nobody is that kind
I said this guy is after something and
it was probably a
$100,000 later after he had given me
$100,000 and bought me four or five cars
and probably a dozen suits that I
figured he’s never going to get out of
me what he’s put into me he hadn’t got
an angle this guy honestly was like that
and it was because he didn’t let his
upbringing he he just had blown his mind
and he just started trying to be like
Jesus would to God every one of us could
lose our mind when we get born again and
just become like Jesus just be discipled
oh my gosh you know one of the
scriptures you you mentioned during this
first clip was John 663 where the flesh
profits nothing and uh you know how do
you get to a place where you have no
reliance upon the flesh life will beat
the snot out it it’ll teach you that the
flesh is no good and you know if there
are some people that are really T Talent
people and that they do really good but
you know I I started out ministering in
nursing homes and I think it was really
good for me because there was this one
lady in particular she was a beautiful
woman and even in her 80s she was still
pretty woman and she always dressed to
the nines had fancy clothes her hair was
always fixed but she used to be a
Methodist pastor’s wife and she was the
head of the social Elites in the town
and everybody just loved her and now she
was in a nursing home her productive
days were over and she sat there crying
all day long saying I used to be
somebody important W and I’d go talk to
her and it really touched me because to
your question Mike if you don’t humble
yourself and learn who you are in Christ
then life will eventually uh humble you
humiliate it will humiliate you if
nothing else an old age you’ll just get
to where you can’t perform the way that
you used to and stuff and you have to
come to the end of yourself yeah that’s
a powerful truth and and like you said I
I like the first option better
than you can through the word you
through the word through other people’s
examples to walk out that that process
so so Andrew we have another clip as
well a newer clip of of you sharing some
of these same principles so why don’t we
go ahead and watch that and we’ll come
back and have some further disc
discussion Romans 8:1 says there is
therefore now no condemnation to them
who are in Christ Jesus who walk not
after the flesh but after the spirit the
word no there in Romans 81 it’s an
absolute unqualified negative meaning
zil zero notada if you are in Christ
there is no condemnation to you who are
in Christ who walk not after the
flesh but after the spirit and then
verse two says for the law of the spirit
of life in Christ Jesus hath made me
free from the law of sin and death for
what the law could not do in that it was
weak through the flesh God sending his
own son in the likeness of sinful flesh
and for sin condemns sin in the flesh
that the righteousness of the law might
be fulfilled in us who walk not after
the flesh but after the Spirit man those
are radical statements there should be
no condemnation the righteousness of the
law is now fulfilled in you and some
people immediately go look in the mirror
and they think how could this be I
remember the sin that I committed last
night or last week or last minute or you
search your mind and you think that man
I’m not the way I should be how could
the righteousness of the law be
fulfilled in me it’s not talking about
fulfilled in your flesh and in your mind
but in your spirit you are the
righteousness of God in him 2
Corinthians 5:21 says for he God the
Father hath made him Jesus who knew no
sin to be made sin for us that we might
be made the righteousness of God in
Christ Jesus you are now the
righteousness of God in your spirit you
are as righteous and holy and pure as
Jesus is and you ought to be conscious
of that instead of sin cons ious but
most of us see haven’t fully understood
the atonement of Jesus we think it was
only partial up until the time we got
born again we were forgiven of our past
sins but now we still aren’t the person
that we’re supposed to be and we just
live with this sin
Consciousness these verses say there
should be no more conscience of sin and
just for time sake I’m going to skip on
down but here it goes on to talk about
how that Jesus died and when he died he
put a and a testament into effect just
the same as when a person dies they
leave a last will in Testament and it
concerns the dispersement of all of
their assets everything that they’ve got
so Jesus died and put a will into effect
but then he did something that nobody
else did he rose from the dead so he
could enforce his own will amen and
that’s what it’s talking about and in
verse 10 it says by the which will we
are Sanctified through the offering of
the body of Jesus Christ once for
all again radical statement most people
believe that you are Sanctified the word
Sanctified means to make holy or to set
apart and so if a person even believes
that they’ve ever been made holy or set
apart they believe it only happened when
they got born again and they were
forgiven of all of their past sins but
then every time that we sin we lose some
of that relationship we lose some of
that Fellowship we somehow or another
are uh less than what God wants us to be
and we have to go through this purging
process all over but this says by the
which will we are Sanctified through the
offering of the body of of Jesus Christ
once for all once for all not once until
the next time but once for all some
people might think well that’s not
talking about once for all time it’s
talking about once for all people he
died once for all people no it’s talking
about once for all time because look at
it in context in the next verse it says
and every priest standeth daily
ministering and offering often times the
same sacrifices which can never take
away sins but this man speaking of Jesus
after he had offered one sacrifice for
sins
forever sat down on the right hand to
God so in context he’s contrasting it
within the old Covenant the priest had
to offer sacrifices over and over and
over because it never truly dealt with
anything it was just a picture of what
was going to happen but Jesus after he
had offered one sacrifice for sins
forever sat down on the right hand to
God from henceforth expecting till his
enemies be made his foot stol for by one
offering he hath perfected forever them
that are Sanctified verse 10 says you
were Sanctified through through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ
once for all and verse 14 says if you
were Sanctified you have been
perfected
forever now again see this is where this
understanding of spirit soul and body
comes in so strong and that is that see
if you don’t understand that he’s
talking about your spirit it’s in that
Born Again part of you that’s the part
of you that has been Sanctified and
perfected forever if you don’t
understand this and if you only think
your two parts just your body and your
soul well then you’ll read something
like this that you’ve been perfected
forever and you go look in the mirror
and you think this is
perfect no you aren’t going to see
perfection in the mirror you aren’t
going to see Perfection if you search
your mental and emotional part because I
guarantee you you have negative thoughts
and fears and phobias and stuff that you
know Jesus doesn’t want you to have your
body and your soul have not been made
perfect
forever but your spirit man has been
perfected forever let me turn over to
Hebrews chap 12 and read this to you and
remember that this is still the same
teaching again sometimes when we go into
a different chapter and a different
verse people think that somehow or
another the topic has changed this is
this was all written as one letter and
these chapter and verse divisions were
put in there just so that we can
reference things but it’s not a new
thought he’s talking about the same
thing this is the same author that just
said that you’ve been Sanctified and
perfected forever look what he says over
here in Hebrews 12: 22 it says but you
are come under Mount Zion and under the
city of the Living God the heavenly
Jerusalem and to an innumerable company
of angels to the general assembly in
church of the firstborn which are
written in heaven and to God the judge
of all and to the spirits of just men
made perfect now see if you’ll go back
to Hebrews chapter 10 verses
10-4 it says you’ve been Sanctified by
the offering of Jesus Christ once for
all and if you’ve been Sanctified you’ve
been perfected
forever if you keep reading chapter
12:23 says to the spirits of just men
made perfect it was your spirit that was
made perfect your body’s not
perfect you know this ought to be
obvious but yet there’s some people that
you just are in the prime of your life
and you think you’re awesome but I can
guarantee you your body is not perfect
we have to put on a glorified body this
body is corrupted this body is subject
to things that God never intended it to
be so your body is not perfect your
mental emotional part isn’t perfect I
can guarantee you I’ve counted so much
religion and Concepts that people have
that some of you are thinking nasty
thoughts towards me right now and I
guarantee you your mental emotional part
is not perfect but in your spirit if
you’ve been born again your spirit is
perfect
perfect man that’s awesome and you know
this is this just if you could
understand what I’m saying this answers
so many questions there are people that
know that we have to
have a positive
selfesteem they know that people that
are beat down and feel bad about
themselves that it’s a self-fulfilling
prophecy if you just feel like you’re
miserable you wind up being miserable
and you wind up treating other people
badly hurt people hurt other people and
on and on we could go with this logic
most of us understand that as a man
thinks in his heart so is he Proverbs
23:7 so
most Christians I’m not talking about
unbelievers now I’m talking about
Christians most Christians try and just
feel good about themsel at all
cost and that’s not right the Bible says
in Jeremiah chapter 17 verse 9 that the
heart is evil and desperately wicked who
can know
it and yet most Christians just try and
feel good about themsel and so one of
the ways we feel good about oursel is to
put everybody else down it’s it’s
everybody else’s fault it’s my
dysfunctional family it’s people that
made me this way and they just somehow
or another have they cannot admit that
they are imperfect they can’t they just
can’t admit it they’re trying to feel so
good about themselves the way I deal
with this is the way that the Apostle
Paul dealt with this over in Philippians
chapter 3 and in verse three it says
that we have no confidence in the flesh
he had no confidence in his physical IAL
mental emotional part of him and he says
though I might also have confidence in
the flesh if any other man thinketh that
Heath whereof he might Trust In the
Flesh I more in other words the reason
Paul didn’t have any confidence in the
flesh wasn’t because he wasn’t hadn’t
obtained things in the flesh he was one
of the most educated men of his day Paul
was raised under Gia he was a uh rising
star in the Jewish uh religion he
probably could have been one of the most
important man he had more things to his
credit than most of us could ever claim
and so he’s saying I don’t have any
confidence in the flesh not because I
haven’t accomplished things in the flesh
he says and he goes through and lists
some of the things that he has done he
says though I might also have confidence
in the flesh if any other man thinketh
that he hath whereof he might Trust In
the Flesh I more in other words if
you’re going to judge things just on
outward appearance I’m I’m better than
all of you is what he’s saying he says
circumcised The Eighth Day of the stock
of Israel of The Tribe of Benjamin a
Hebrew of the Hebrews as touching the
law of Pharisee concerning Zeal
persecuting the church touching the
righteousness which is in the law
blameless but what things were gained to
me those I counted lost for Christ yay
doubtless I count all things but lost
for the Excellency of the knowledge of
Christ Jesus my Lord and have suffered
the loss of all things and do count them
but dung that I may win Christ and be
found in him not having my own
righteousness which is of the law you
could say of my own performance what
I’ve been able to obtain on my own but
that which is through the Faith of
Christ the righteousness which is of god
by faith that I may know him and the
power of his resurrection and the
fellowship of his sufferings being made
conformable unto his death so the
Apostle Paul is saying I have no
confidence in the flesh not because he
wasn’t an accomplished person
but because he was looking at who he was
in Christ this Born Again spirit that
I’ve been teaching about all of this
week how that that part of us has been
Sanctified and perfected
forever he was approaching God and he
was approaching People based on who he
was in Christ but the average Christian
today is approaching God and people on
who they are in their flesh their own
performance and because of it they have
to put other people down to make their
flesh look better they have to blame
other people for all of their mistakes
and say you don’t understand it was my
dysfunctional family it’s because this
person did this to me that’s the reason
that I’m such a jerk and you have to put
down other people to make yourself look
good in comparison and when it comes to
God if you are trying to approach God in
your own goodness your heart is going to
constantly condemn you I was using the
verse yesterday out of Hebrew
10:2 that says because of the atonement
of Jesus we should have no more
conscience of sin and yet the average
Christian is totally sin conscious
because they’re approaching God In the
Flesh they’re trying to relate to God
based on their goodness God I’ve fasted
God I’ve prayed now I’ve done this now
you owe me something you can’t approach
God that way see all of these things are
a result of what the Lord taught me
through Spirit soul and body I begin to
recognize
that even though my flesh might be
better than somebody else’s flesh who
wants to be have the best flesh that
ever got rejected by God they that are
in the flesh cannot please God you have
to walk in the spirit you have to
worship God in spirit and in
truth and when I say things like this
there are people that are afraid and say
if you get people conscious of what
Jesus has done and who they are in the
spirit and if they’re just focused on
who they are in the spirit well then
their flesh is going to go wild they’re
going to live in sin because they no
longer are afraid that God’s going to
reject them they’re relating to God
Spirit to Spirit instead of Flesh to
Spirit there’s people that are afraid
that I’m just going to turn people loose
I’m going to give them a license to sin
let me say it this way people are
sinning pretty well without a
license there’s a lot of Christians that
men are living in sin under this
condemnation and guilt that’s not
working I’m telling you that love will
cause people to serve God more than they
ever serve God out of
fear you know in my relationship with my
wife if I was to just somehow or another
say if you ever are unfaithful to me if
you ever do this and this and this and
if I just read her the riot act and if
she lived in constant fear of me
rejecting her I might get compliance but
in her heart I guarantee you she
wouldn’t love me she wouldn’t um there
wouldn’t be the relationship that we
have but Jamie knows that I love her
regardless of her
performance and because of that that
doesn’t make her want to go out and
commit adultery or go out and do things
that would displease me it’s because of
love you know when when you take
somebody flowers do you think that
that’s going to make them hate you that
that’s going to free them because you’ve
shown some love and acceptance to them
that’s going to free them to go out out
and and have a relationship with
somebody else no when you give gifts to
people if they understand it properly
and if they understand that this is an
expression of your love man it just
makes them want to love you more it
makes them want to be more committed to
you and yet when it comes to God somehow
or another we think that if you tell
people that God loves them
unconditionally and that he’s dealt with
all of their sin past present and even
future sin that that’s just going to
turn them loose to go live in sin man
it’s just the opposite if a person could
understand how much God loves
you and if you really got a glimpse of
that if you ever really saw that I
guarantee you you would wind up serving
God more
accidentally than you have on purpose
before it would cause you to just commit
yourself to God the love of Christ
constrains us is what Paul said in 2
Corinthians chapter 5 God is love and
when you understand that love man you
will want to give up bubble gum if you
thought that that would please God you
will do anything God I’ll do anything
because you love me so much the love of
Christ constrains us to serve him and
sad to say most of us have only been
shown a conditional love conditional on
how well we perform and since none of us
perform perfectly we never feel this
perfect love and this perfect pure
unconditional love from God but if you
could understand the things that I’ve
been teaching this week hopefully this
will help you to understand that God’s
love for you is unconditional he forgave
you of all sin past present and even
future sin you’ve been Sanctified and
perfected forever in your
spirit we’ve been talking about Spirit
uh versus flesh and so um in this second
clip you really um start off by talking
about we made the righteousness of God
in Christ Jesus in that no more sin
Consciousness and you said something
that um was really powerful you said
Jesus put a will and testament into
effect then Rose to enforce that which
he will I think that’s so important
because people are still trying to do it
out of their own effort and then they
constantly feel like they’re a failure
because they’re so sinc conscious you
know my experience really I praise God
now that it happened the way it did
because I got born again when when I was
eight and 18 when I had this revelation
of the glory of God but I became a
religious
Pharisee and the good thing about that
was that I really trusted in my flesh I
thought God was going to love me based
on what I did and even though I never
obtained that and I lived under a state
a constant state of condemnation it I
just gave my flesh everything I could do
yeah I have never said a cuss word in my
whole life never taken a drink of liquor
never said a word of profanity I’d give
up bubble gum if God told me to do I I
gave everything I had to it and fell
short so when I got a revelation that
it’s not my righteousness it’s God’s
righteousness it’s not the flesh it’s
the spirit yeah man it was easy for me
to turn from that but there’s a lot of
people that really have
not uh come to the end of their flesh
they still think that they can please
God in their own self and I I just
learned that man I can’t do it and it
it’s a great it’s a great way to come
into it come to the end of yourself
before you start I I think it’s in I
know I I had this mentality for year
years and years oftentimes people will
actually fight for their own
condemnation they’ll fight they’ll fight
to go back and say and try to justify
themselves to their own strength and it
you can do it for a short time but you
can never last for very long but did you
know people who are into their
performance and stuff it makes them
judgmental because one of the things you
have to do is constantly compare
yourself with other people and you’re
doing that so that you will wind up
looking good great and in order to look
good you have to condemn and put
everybody else down and so religious
people who are trying to earn God’s
favor are some of the most judgmental
mean angry people on the planet been
there done that no doubt and demanding
of other people you know that if they’re
you know if they’re especially if
they’re trying to disciple or something
like that their discipleship ends up
being Works in law and condemnation you
haven’t done enough and you haven’t done
enough and then they then they wonder
why more people aren’t coming to the
Lord through their example you know I
heard a story about a woman that was
trying to get healed she’d been trying
to get healed for 20 years and then a
drunk comes into the church has no good
works somebody preaches the gospel to
him and he just believes and receives
and gets healed of the exact same thing
that she’s been trying to get healed of
for 20 years and she’s now bitter
because why did God heal him and not
heal me and it’s because she was putting
her faith in the fact that she’s been
going to church paying her ties doing
these good things the drunk comes in and
says man I hadn’t got anything and he
just looks to Jesus and receives it as a
gift I’ll tell you you know and you you
referen that in this clip you go you go
over to uh Hebrews chapter 10: 10 and
talks about talk about how Jesus
accomplished this one time for us for
all time I tell you that’s such a better
way to relate to God is through what
Jesus did for us and why do you think it
is that that’s such a struggle for so
many people well I think a lot of people
when they first get born again go on
this kind of honeymoon I’ve heard a lot
of people talk about that and the reason
is because when they get born again
they’re told that God forgave you of all
of your sins and so they don’t have any
condemnation and they feel good and then
they go to church and in church they say
now unless you study the word unless you
come to church unless you pay your ties
God won’t bless you and they put them
back under this separation yeah and so
they get off of the honeymoon not
because God quit loving them but because
they go back to thinking oh now it’s
according to how holy I live and it
doesn’t work that way you’ve got to get
to where the same way that you got saved
is the same way that you stay saved you
relate to the Lord based on what Jesus
did not on what you do but religion
teaches people that God moves in your
life proportional to your performance
yeah and and in this in this clip you
talk a lot about the the aspect of
Hebrews past present and future sin and
that’s why we can be free of his sin
Consciousness oh yeah that’s what I was
starting towards I got off but that’s
that’s the reason the Hebrews 10:10
104 12 23 yes man those scriptures
transform my life because in the same
ways you got forgiven but then you sin
after you well that sin was already
dealt with past present and even future
tent sins have already been forgiven and
if you understand that it just sets you
free from sin I know one of our previous
episodes you talked about how our spirit
has been sealed with the Holy Spirit of
promise and how even even when we do
make a mistake when we do sin in the
future that sin never penetrates our
spirit and now you like you talked about
in Hebrews 12:23 how we’ve we’ve come
into just men made perfect and uh the
spirits of just men made perfect and
that’s that’s such a revelation for us
to get and that’s that’s one of the
things I so appreciate appreciate this
teaching is because uh this Set Me Free
understanding that my spirit has been
made perfect in Christ Jesus and when
you live after the spirit then you’re
walking in in the fact that you’re
pleasing unto God because of what he’s
done for us did you know I read today
that they just
found uh Cherry preserves at George
Washington’s Vernon thing they were
buried and they Unearthed them and they
just found them preserves that were
canned in 1775 are perfect no no damage
whatsoever they seal them wow and you
know you can’t take preserves and leave
them out for a week or two without you
know the Airborne um impurities but man
that’s the way our spirit is we are
sealed forever you know what’s amazing
about that too it’s it’s it was sealed
but it was sealed from the impact of
this world that’s exactly what our
spirit has been it’s been sealed from
the of this world because it’s been
sealed in him that’s good and and it’s
it’s such a so some people will believe
that yeah I was forgiven of all my sins
when I got born again but you don’t
understand I’ve messed up since then and
they think that every time you sin uh
the ultra Pentecostals will say you lose
your salvation and you go to hell in a
backsliding state if you don’t get it
repented of uh the evangelicals it’s the
same principle but just lesser
consequence you won’t lose your
salvation but you’ll lose all the
benefits of your salvation God w won’t
love you and bless you but the truth is
that when you were forgiven you were
forgiven of all sins past present and
even future sins God in your spirit it
is perfect and then it’s sealed so that
when a Christian sins that sin will
penetrate your physical body and it’ll
penetrate your soul it’ll give you
physical problems it’ll give you mental
emotional problems but it can’t
penetrate the sealer and just and that’s
why you always people sin is even though
you’ve been forgiven sin you don’t have
to walk in sin absolutely sin is stupid
so you’re not giving a license to sin
and and this is one of the things that
you shared um in this and I I thought
this was really powerful that you know
people um accusing you that at this
message of God’s unconditional love who
we are Spirit soul and body you know
this perfect this sealed spirit and past
present and future and so we have this
right relationship with God um people
then accusing you that well this is
going to give people a li to S so how
have you stayed True to this message
because So Many religious people have
reacted so crazy over the years well
there’s a ditch on both sides of the
road and sometimes people will get so
free from the condemnation that they
just go over here doesn’t matter what I
do but then there’s you know you can get
into a ditch on either side and you got
to recognize that even though God loves
us in spite of what we do we live in a
world where Satan will take advantage of
any opportunity we give him and he comes
only to steal kill and destroy so even
though God is not going to reject you
and he’s forgiven you of all sin there
are consequences to sin and Satan will
extract his pound of Flesh if you give
him an opportunity yeah and you know I’m
really glad that my testimony is I’ve
I’ve I’m living a holy life I don’t ever
approach God based on my Holiness but
nobody can accuse me of preaching Grace
so that I can go live in sin CU I’m
living a Holier life than just about any
body I know spend more time studying the
word praying and doing things and you
talked about that too that you once you
get a revelation of this you can live
more accidentally right uh in in this
because uh love love is motivating you
you’re not you’re not going out to do
these things just to to stick it to God
like well you you forgave me so deal
with it you know um but no you it now is
at a love relationship once you
understand the love of God there is
nothing that this world has to offer
that even compares to it and so you
don’t I’m not as tempted yeah to go live
in sin because I Am So Satisfied and
content with what God has done in my
life I’m not looking for anything El you
brought out that scripture as well in
Philippians chapter 3:3 where it says we
are the circumcision which Worship in
the spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus
and have no confidence in the flesh and
what you just said there was you you
fell more in love with God is that is
that the the the the answer of how do we
have no confidence in the flesh is we
just fall more in love with the Lord I
think people that really are impressed
with their flesh and what they can do
it’s because they don’t really know God
Amen if you ever taste and see of the
goodness of God you will automatically
dislike your own flesh and your own
natural thing you know I had a man one
time come to my meeting in Johnson City
Tennessee and this guy had been
listening to me for years and God had
touched his life and anyway he just
touched my hand he wouldn’t let go and
he said I can’t believe I’m touching you
and he was it was embarrassing
and I finally just told him I said you
know if you spent more time with Jesus
you wouldn’t be near as impressed with
me I said this says a lot about your
lack of relationship with God and boy it
just he it stopped him in his tracks but
it’s true when you get so impressed with
the person yeah it’s because you aren’t
spending time with God Almighty if he’s
your best friend and if you’re spending
time with him you aren’t going to be
impressed with other people or yourself
that’s why God gives us our spouses too
they’re constantly reminding us or or
family members my sister she’ll come up
to my house and she’ll be like girl you
ugly without that makeup stuff on you do
on camera you ugly that’s not true come
on that’s not true but family members do
know how to put you in your place true
so um you know I think that
unfortunately a lot of Christians do
this they will try to live through
someone else’s relationship with God
like well I can’t get that Revelation so
then they’ll they’ll they’ll conference
hop or um they’ll Church hop or they’re
always going to the prayer line because
they’re expecting someone else’s
relationship with God and they never
take ownership that they can actually
have that same thing they admire they’re
like oh my gosh these men and women of
God and they’re just so they love and
respect them but they fail to to realize
they can have that same relationship and
that’s that’s also one of the tactics of
the enemy you know the Apostle Paul
right after that Philippians 33 it goes
on to say I could have confidence in
myself if anybody could he one of the
most educated men of his day he was
probably in line to be the head Rabbi so
he began to list all of his
accomplishments but then he says but
what things were gained to me those I
counted but dumb that I may win Christ
man I think that’s you know you could
say that in modern language which I
don’t use but it’s U anyway it’s not
something you want to frame and put on
your wall yeah you know actually I don’t
know if it was when you were in school
but back in the beginning of our school
I used to use that scripture a lot about
all of your righteousness is like filthy
rags it’s like dung and somebody took a
cow patty that was hardened and put it
in a frame and I hung it in my garage
and Jamie finally threw it away she
didn’t like it can’t imagine why she
wouldn’t like that but that’s what
people do they frame all of their
accomplishments and put it on the wall
so everybody can see who they are Paul
said man all of my accomplishment are
like d that is amazing you think about
we we we try so hard and this is I I
definitely relate to this we try so hard
to try to prove ourselves to other
people when we understand you even
mentioned this in the teaching that John
4:24 God is spirit and he sees us after
the spirit and everything we’re trying
to accomplish in the flesh God has
already accomplished for us in the
spirit it’s already it’s already been
it’s already been done so how do we get
our eyes off of that well people don’t
have a revelation of what they have in
the spirit and so they’re all they they
find their identity In the Flesh and if
there somebody’s talking about look what
I’ve done and you’ve done more you want
to insert that that’s the flesh that’s
true that’s the flesh you’re always
wanting to get accolades for what you’ve
done you’re always want to display all
of your Awards your trophies on your
mantel stuff like that man we need to
get to where we find our identity in
Christ amen well this this series on on
Spirit own body has um been
life-changing for us and and Chang
changed us and we see that as we teach
this message it is really honestly as we
see the graduates as we see um your
partners and Friends of the Ministries
this is this is a Core teaching and and
you’ve been faithful and consistent in
it and then so many other Series in
Revelations you say all of them have
come from spiritual body so I look
forward to the the next series that
we’re going to do with you and just
really how this feeds into more I really
want to encourage people that if you
have not had the opportunity to go
through Spirit soul and body I’ll tell
you it is life transforming I was a born
I was a Believer for 22 years before I
ever heard these truths and these
principles and this absolutely Set Me
Free to have a relationship with God
where I was not ashamed of who I was
anymore because I was confident in what
he who he was in me and no longer what I
could do for him amen and this will this
empowers every single person to live the
Christian Life and let me just mention
that we had a guy in Germany take this
teaching and put it into a visual form a
little cartoon and it’s really good I’ve
had people that listen to my series that
didn’t get it they got it through the
cartoon so that’s also available yeah
we’ll we’ll we’ll share how you can get
that but thank you so much for sharing
about Spirit soul body in these
Revelations thank you for living this
out as well and thank you Jesus for
living it out amen all right well join
us for our next series with Andrew as we
continue to go into our spirit home body
now and uh is impacting even more
Revelation so thank you Andrew
amen well you know if we go through the
clip talking to Andrew this the new clip
and and the questions and what he’s been
answering I’ve Loved this series um and
I know we’re going to love the other
series but this is honestly Spirit soul
body is one of my favorite because of
the way it truly Set Me Free and I’ve
seen what it’s done within your life and
I’m just so excited that um as you’ve
been watching the same opportunity that
this becomes foundational thinking in
your life um what it can produce is
absolutely phenomenal you know to quote
Andrew many people people believe that
God can do anything they just don’t
believe that he has done anything and
when you go through these principles and
when you hear the word and and and you
see this Revelation that has really come
out of Andrew’s heart you realize just
the extent of what God has done for us
by placing his Spirit on the inside of
us and restoring back to us exactly how
we were created in the garden and
honestly for me this revelation change
the way I read the word of God Amen
because then um you’ll you’ll see as you
go through verses where it’s talking
about where say Paul or one of the other
writers is talking about you know why
why are you like what you used to be
talking about the flesh don’t you know
what God has done talking about the
spirit don’t you know who you are in
Christ and then he gives us directions
therefore and then gives us direction of
then how to renew our mind and get our
soul man under the submission of the
spirit and you just see it’s like
spirit’s own body spirit’s own body to
the point you can see SSB SSB all over
verses in my Bible and what’s EXC you
know it it makes you realize how much
God loves us you know 2 Corinthians 5:21
as Andrew shared he who knew no sin
became sin that we might become the
righteousness of God in Christ Jesus so
we understand just the extent is of his
love towards us and then it gives us the
ability to show him the love that same
love back to him because now now we have
his Spirit living on the inside of us we
can have relationship based upon what
he’s done for us not what we do for him
and I’ll tell you that will just set you
free and as we continue to walk this out
as we continue to renew our minds that’s
exactly what God wants us to do is to be
free from those old mentalities that
have held us captive for so long drawing
us to a place where we think that we
relate to God based upon our goodness if
anything if this course has caugh taught
me anything it’s not about my goodness
it’s about his goodness what he’s done
for us and that’s what I appreciate I
look back at you know Andrew sharing
about how he came to this Revelation and
uh all the principles that have really
been laid in the foundations in his
heart and now you and I get the
opportunity to learn from another
person’s growth and their dedication to
the word of God what a privilege that is
amen and I’ll just say this revelation
of spirit somebody is critical when you
really start not only having
relationship with God but then how your
relationship with God can start to over
on the people around you we always we
always when we teach Spirit soul and
body at Caris we always say man you need
the spirit of God to be married amen you
need the spirit of God to be parents and
to live in this world and and maybe you
work in the secular Market Place you
need the spirit of God that’s going to
lead you and guide you and taping into
that Supernatural Faith we’ve already
talked about and just how in those
moments when the flesh tries to rise up
you know how to speak to the Flesh of
who you really are are and what your
real identity is so once again as we
