[Music]
change we started this some weeks back
we talked about God’s
ways versus man’s ways and we have to
know this
because we keep trying
to bring God down on our
level and he ain’t
coming he came down on our level when he
bought
Jesus yeah who was touched with the
feelings of our
infirmities but not so we can stay at
that
level but to come up to where we need to
be and so I I need you to listen
man I need you to listen let me start
off with
this it’s one of the things God
instructed me to begin to do everywhere
I
go
life once you get born
again you get on a
journey life is a journey life that
spiritual life your saved life is a
journey I I may have mentioned this to
you before but it’s like if you take a
road trip from Atlant Atlanta to
La it’s on a you’re on a journey okay
and there will be different things that
may come up on that
Journey you might be on your way to LA
and take a wrong turn and you’re you’re
you’re you’re off the path and it may
take some time to get back on the path
you may be on your way to LA from
Atlanta and you’re going to have to have
a pit stop you might have to stop and
get some gas or retire there there are a
lot lot of things that could happen on
the way to the
journey but nobody is there to condemn
you to hell just because you took a
wrong turn just because you had a flat
tire just because it was necessary for
you to get a
refill nobody’s going to condemn you to
hell and yet as Christian people we
don’t understand that this life is a
journey and on this journey you’re going
to fall you’re going to say the wrong
things you’re going to make the but but
that doesn’t mean condemn them because
the journey
continues and you know what’s great
about the journey is Jesus is going on
the road trip with
you not to beat you up but to say to you
okay I got you let’s get back on the
journey here okay no problem you need a
refill I’ll go ahead and fill you up
again you need a you need a uh you need
your wheels aligned I’ll line you up
you’re out of balance I’ll give you a
balance there’s nothing wrong with all
of any all all the stuff that happens in
our lives on this journey it’s like God
says that’s that that’s the stuff that’s
to be expected on the journey why do we
get on this journey and don’t expect for
anything to show up on the
journey so it’s all right amen you don’t
spend two years in condemnation because
you had to fill
up you don’t spend 10 years in
shame because you you had a flat tire
Tire you’re going to get fat tires on
Journeys but it’s okay because Jesus is
your road
dog no no no
you the dog part God just an
illustration you know forgive me
Jesus we got to start thinking like that
so what happens sometimes is in real
life you mess
up it took you probably 30 minutes to
mess that up and you spend 10 years
being condemned by
it he says stop doing that you’re on a
journey we still got a ways to go nobody
has time for you to sit at the rest
station for a
week nobody has time for you to sit
there pit yourself for another
week you had the flat tire change the
tire and get back on the
road you might be tired take a nap get
back on the road that’s how life is so
shake off all the things you’ve
encountered and thank God that today you
are still on this
journey you’re still on this journey so
stop beating yourself
up stop stop beating yourself up and
stop beating one another
up that’s how God’s looking at it you’re
on a journey your kid first start
walking your kids’s going to fall that’s
what happens on the Journey of learning
how to
walk when he falls you don’t beat his
brains out and speak all kinds of crazy
stuff to him you ain’t no good you fail
now don’t fall no more if you fall him
Nobody Does that everybody understands
this is for a
time you wear a pamper for a
time how many you know there’s a problem
if you’re still wearing a pamper and
you’re
21 you’re on a
journey
now
God has a way of doing
things and human mankind natural man has
a way of doing things and we need need
to see the
difference cuz too many times we’re
coming up with ways of saying God just
like this
no look what he says here Romans 55:
8-9 Isaiah thank
you you can tell I’m
excited for my thoughts are not your
thoughts
neither are your
ways my
ways sayth the
Lord for as the heavens are higher than
the earth Heaven’s ways are higher than
the earth God’s ways are higher than
your ways he says so are my ways higher
than your ways and my thoughts are
higher than your
thoughts and there is no instance in
that’s that this is more true
than in the connection with promptings
to proper conduct there’s no instance
where this is more true than in
connection uh to proper conduct so we
look at your
conduct and you look at how you have
chosen to conduct conduct and carry
yourself and God is
saying my ways are higher than your ways
where this is concerned because under
grace God does everything apart from
Human Merit when I use the word merit
I’m it it’s it really means being good
to deserve a reward so so God does under
grace everything apart from uh
influencing you to uh to to to to do
something in order to deserve uh a
reward and so under grace he does
everything apart from
that he’s not doing doing anything under
grace uh he does everything apart
from any thought of
repayment so God under
grace is not trying to do
something because you’ve been good so
you deserve a
reward we may not do that I’m going to
be good so I can deserve a reward God is
so far from
that God is is so far from the thought
of repayment you know you are you’ve
been good so he’s going to do something
good to you to pay you for being
good that has that is not his way that
is never been his
way but us humans have kind of made it
like
that and his way is much higher than
that
he cannot offer his
Blessing as an inducement or influencing
someone to do something he can’t offer
his Blessing he can’t say I’m going to
bless you if you do
this he he he he he’s not saying he
can’t say I’m going to bless you if
you’re
good he cannot say I’m going to bless
you if your behavior your lines up right
then I’ll am bless you God God can’t do
that His blessings he cannot offer his
Blessing as an inducement nor can he
offer his judgment as a threat to
encourage Godly
living so he wants you to you he wants
you to live
Godly but he can’t use the blessing to
get you to live
Godly and he can’t use judgment to
threaten you to live
Godly amen he can’t do it and I am
telling you all my
life I’m thinking that’s how it
worked I go to church this Sunday God
going to repay
me by letting me get a raise how many
y’all thought that raise your hands or
or come up here let me cast that line
devil out
you and I guess that’s why it’s taking
me so long to preach is because this
goes against
everything that we heard about God now
it is true that what I just
said it’s true for
humans if you do
good I’m going to do something to reward
you I if you do good then I’m going to
repay you for doing good that’s that’s
our
way but what’s going to happen now I’m
going to judge you if you don’t do
good didn’t we do that with our kids if
you if you if you if if you act if you
act right in school I’m going to do you
good but I’m going to threaten you if
you don’t act right in
school that’s our
way and somehow we have made our
way God’s
way and that ain’t God’s
way woo Jesus everybody on still on the
bus with me now we you’re still on the
bus with me you’re still on the bus with
me all
right therefore under
Grace under grace God first reminds us
of what he has done in
Grace and then on the basis of
that he he he appeals for a life of of
godliness with that in mind in other
words God
God has this work of
Grace he reminds of of his grace and he
reminds us of his
mercy and then he makes an appeal for us
to live
Godly but not without us understanding
his work of
Grace let let me show you the the phrase
that God gave me to to to pull all this
together it may help you I wrote it down
I was so excited about it I signed my
name just in case I leave it back and
hundreds of years later so nobody else
w’t have to struggle with what I’m
getting ready to to preach and it’s no
longer struggle but here’s what he said
God will not make an appeal when I when
I use the word appeal he want appeal to
you to to say all right you need to live
Godly or or or all right you need to
present your body uh as a Living
Sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God
all right you need to treat everybody
that that’s what I refer to as an
appeal so I I’m going to use the word
appeal this morning the appeals that God
make he appeals to you to live holy
appeals to you to do right appeals to
you to do that but but he he never
appeals to you here’s what he says God
will not make an appeal without first
providing mercy and Grace for our
failures oh boy so so what what he what
he means there is I’m not asking you to
live right until I first of all have a
work of mercy and Grace for when you
don’t live right that
day so now all of a sudden you’re not
too afraid to accept that
appeal because the threat of me not
being able to do it has been taken away
because he said before I ask you to live
Godly notice my mercy and Grace is at
every beginning of every appeal that I
have asked
you so I went and checked that out I
said oh yeah and I started seeing it I
saw how we skip we skipped the mercy and
Grace part and went straight to the
appeal live Godly but God says no no no
I won’t ever request for you to do
anything without first of all
recognizing my work of Grace in being
able to ask you to live this way so
don’t be afraid that you can’t live this
way because I’ve already worked this
thing out for your bad days
[Applause]
amen
yes praise God now thank you Lord yeah I
know I know I got my hand I got my
handkerchief here a ain’t time we going
to cry in a minute baby I got I got one
for
you now watch this now but man’s ways
are not God’s
ways in general man clings to the idea
that benefits always come because of
Good Conduct and man’s way are that
losses come because of bad
conduct so man’s ways are all right
these good things showed up because we
did something
good uh this bad thing showed up cuz we
did something bad that’s man’s
way losses and rewards based on our
conduct with no consideration of the
grace and mercy that has been put in
this
place natural man always feels that he
must contribute something to earn God’s
favor that’s what church has been like
for some of you for the last 10 20 30
years natural
man natural man saying and based on
church and based on pull pit and based
on sermons natural man says I’ve got to
contribute something in order to get
God’s
favor and if I don’t contribute
something I can’t get God’s favor
in in the pull pits of the world this is
what you have to contribute to get God’s
favor but you have to understand you did
not contribute anything at the beginning
of God’s favor God’s favor was God’s
idea not mine not
yours
[Applause]
Hallelujah think about this think about
always thinking I’ve got to contribute
something I got to think it it’s it’s it
so contradicts everything if you have to
contribute something to get God’s favor
it’s not
favor how is it favor if you had
something to do with getting
it it’s
not I I contributed
nothing
to get born again except I
believed I believed his
way A lot of gifts that you’re walking
in now you keep trying to find where
your contribution made this happen
that’s right that is not God’s way
amen it’s man’s
way God’s method under grace is seen in
Jesus dealing with that woman taken in
adultery let’s look at that John
8:
3-1 and the scribes and Pharisees
brought unto him a
woman
taken in
adultery I mean in the very Act of
adultery they bought the woman sheets
and
all ain’t no we think sheet in
adultery and when they had set her in
the
midst they say unto him Jesus
Master this woman was taken in adultery
in the very
act now cuz they trying to they’re
trying to trick Jesus because Jesus is
supposed to be there fulfilling the
law and according to the law
this should be This Woman’s last day now
Moses in the law commanded us that such
should be
stoned but what do you
say they’re trying to trip Jesus up
watch him this is why he my
king this they said tempting him that
they might have to accuse
him but Jesus stooped down
and with his finger wrote on the
ground as though he heard them not he
was igging them you understand what I’m
saying I ain’t got time for this Tom
Foolery so when they continued asking
him he lifted up himself and said unto
them okay and I like this cuz he can’t
go against the law because he had come
to deliver people from the law and he
couldn’t deliver them from the law
unless he operated and fulfill all the
law so what do you
say so he didn’t say don’t Stone
her here’s what he
said he lifted up himself and said unto
him he that is without sin among
you let him first cast a stone at
her and he again stooped down and rode
on the
ground somebody said do you know what he
was writing no I don’t know what he was
writing and you don’t either so get
don’t get up and get a preach don’t get
up preach a sermon talking about what
Jesus was writing you know the day that
he would return now you don’t know he
was he might have been
doodling cuz that’s what you do when
people talking T Foolery you just
like he says all right fine I’m not
telling you not to Stone her here’s all
I’m saying anybody any any one of you
who don’t have sin in your life go ahead
and the Bible says the older people left
first because they knew they had a whole
bunch going
on the older people just got on out of
there like man let me let me
goone the younger people thought they
had hope but they eventually left
too and they which had heard it being
convicted by their own conscience they
went out one by one beginning at the
eldest even until the
last and Jesus left her alone
and the woman standing in his
midst when Jesus had left lifted up
himself and saw none but the
woman he said unto her
woman where are those thine
accusers had no man condemned
thee she
said no man
Lord Jesus said unto her watch this
neither do I condemn thee this sin of
adultery will not condemn
you what you did
deserved death and condemnation you
should have been condemned to death
because you broke the law and the law
said you should be condemned to
death but in a sense he said but Mercy
has come before you
today Jesus full of grace and
truth and I forgive
you now take this mercy and this
grace that you’ve received
today and go and sin no more because
Grace has come unto
you now it’s
possible for her to actually
walk without sinting and doing this
again because before there was no mercy
and Grace there was just the threat of
death and people telling you you’re
going to hell for this and you’re going
to hell for that but now I see Mercy I
see grace I see
Jesus I see that I can and do what I
didn’t think I was able to do before
because his way showed up and he
red what was supposed to happen under
the
law
huh and that same thing going on
today we still trying to send folks to
hell when we catch them and
stuff do you know who God really is in
crlo Dollar’s four-part series the truth
