MTV intensified child and family for Thursday, June 16 really hard to live the Christian life. In fact, yourself, it's impossible. Learn why that concept is truly liberating in today's podcast centering in Galatians chapter 2, I will if you will determine John chapter 8 for a moment I was look at something here in the 31st verse of the chapter John because he tells something that is very essential if you are to be free and we talk about liberty and freedom of indescribable you talking are we talking about liberty and freedom. As believers from attempting to live up to the law live up to rules and regulations made by man living up to self-imposed expectations that we think God has upon which he does not.

So he says in John chapter 8 verse 31 then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him. If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed and if you continue my word, and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. The only way to be free is to know the truth and one of the primary reason so many people are in bondage to all kinds of hangups all kinds of self-imposed expectations, trying to live up to something God never intended to live up to the reason we are in bondage is because of our ignorance we do not know the truth.

He says you shall know the truth. If you do want continue in my word is very important to see that the rest of what I'm going to say it isn't what we do. That frees us is what the truth does when you are able to accept the truth of God we become free. Romans chapter 6 what is a safe verse three says no you not, that so many of us who were baptized were baptized into his death. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death, that like as Christ was raised from the dead, but the glory of the father, even so we also should walk in what kind of life whose line Christ life we have been if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death. We should also be in the likeness of his resurrection. Knowing this, that our old man what you were before you resave has been. Once enrolled, crucified within the body of sin might be destroyed and operable no longer has its power shall henceforth we should not serve sin but he that is dead.

That is to its power is freed from his file so that we no longer listen. We no longer are in bondage to sin. That doesn't mean I've been freed from his presence. It doesn't mean that I can't choose the sin again. But I do not have to live in bondage to sin, because I've been placed in the life of Jesus Christ. He said my whole life was crucified with him. And if I've been crucified with him. He says nevertheless I live but now lives crying leadings within you.

Listen if you have been saved, you may act like your old self with you to lose if all that is in general. He says you not been crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, we live yet not I but Christ lives within me every single believer is has been crucified with Christ.

I say has a problem.

Somebody told us that we were saved by the grace of God he forgave us by passing. Most of us were taught to say God forgive us for our sins we trust him for our forgiveness and one of these days are going to have but nobody told us he took care of all of the past present future. I've heard preachers I've heard famous evangelist like when you stand in the judgment of God is going to The movie project on all of your sins around your past ability see the whole world to see. Your recognition will stand before God's judgment upon amen hallelujah praise the Lord in the rafters is the only problem is for believers is not so you not going to see movies of your past because God says they feel has been exposed to light, the light and looking and then you send it all to be developed and you get it back on white solid black wall because it was exposed.

You know what God says to us that all God through his son Jesus Christ exposed all of those negatives to light and we have been freed from no sin to be late for our account because it was all nailed across Jesus Christ and on the watchlist when he was crucified. We were crucified. He was very good barely arose.

We arose in newness of life.

We have newness of life.

2000 years later you have indwelling us the very eternal life of Almighty God through Jesus Christ once recalls. On our commitment to the law.

He said the Barrett.

All that was there can be, ridiculed me, rendered me helpless and absolutely totally guilty before God.

But he says Jesus Christ How much of the law.

All the law he fulfilled the law watchlist. I could shout at this point. Listen, God nailed all your disobedience, disobedience, violation of the law to keep the law. He nailed all Jesus Christ to Law was crucified because of the law, therefore, listen, God the father heading crucified in order to vindicate the requirements of the law of mankind which all mankind failed to keep. Therefore when Jesus Christ went to the cross.

He took the punishment for the pain you keep in the law for every single one of us and friend when you see ourselves having been crucified with him, having been placed in the Indo in the line of eternal life and he has paid the penalty that frees us once and for all. Having to keep the law because he already He was the will of those who could not keep it and therefore we are no longer required to keep the law. Now the law can make no requirement upon anyone who has already been punished for failing to keep this in what was the keep the law. Alright, so Jesus Christ the substitution to the penalty of the law for you and me. Therefore, we can never be penalized for not keeping the law because the parent has already been paid. That freedom is the now. We are not talking about necessarily some ceremonial law and just keep it in to members because it is apposite it applies to man-made laws that you and I must live up to to be made acceptable for God legalism and the church don't do this don't do that you must do this you must because if you don't got to love you got a hold that some of the sketches as listed responsibility as believers is listen by to receive the life of Jesus Christ and allow him to live his life in and through us day by day leaving up to the expectation but simply biding and resting in trusting in him when on the abundance listen. God doesn't expect anything of you except to fail is all know what God's got to expect something to me once this if he expected something of you and thought you didn't want he say to Paul crucified. Now Jesus Christ is living his life within you.

Listen, if we could've made it. Why did Jesus Christ send the Holy Spirit to live the life and if we could have made it without no way this is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is Essington the father's right hand. He says I'll send dollars for the company will be in you would get up on you if we could have made this evening we could've made in this life at all. The spirit of God will not come.

He came to live and abide with you and me because Almighty God, who was not within us the slightest bit of strength. The slightest bit of potential for leaving out the kind of righteousness whatsoever is a good example approval that is Jesus three years three is what was Peter doing denying line as much a failure. After three years as he was before and it was not until Jesus Christ was crucified, resurrected, went to the father and sent the Holy Spirit back through the Holy Spirit. Peter became no one because Peter didn't have it in to live the Christian life, though he had walked and watched and heard the son of God, but three somebody you know why Jesus Christ is come to live his life in your life and Monday).

The truth is our thing and I did tell you this, but until you come to the place in your spiritual life where you able to see listen where you're able to see your self with in yourself as a failure to be one God want you to be. You are going to miss the exchange one.

Undertake the big problem is the problem. If a fella is gifted or talented watchlist already committed to serving the Lord and his church, and is willing to serve and willing to give time and willing to give money willing to do everything the past, asking the do when it comes to service, please listen to me for not what you missed this for anything less. Oftentimes that man who is so capable, so talented, so willing to serve for him to reach the point where he says the affair. No he says I give more time.

I'm a deacon or I sing in the choir. I'm here on Sunday morning Sunday night Wednesday night, take notes on the sermon. Be sure to get these down watchlist take notes on the sermons's teach Sunday school.

I do all these things that you tell me Bridget, how can you say that I'm afraid.

Notice the things I just mentioned they were all actions, activities, said nothing about what a man is so I have to ask that your brother that desisted. Why are you doing all of these things is it because it makes you listen feel more acceptable to God you can't be more tepid than you are what you do these things does it make you feel good that you have God's approval, you are to God's approval. What you do these things do you feel that that somehow if you do all of this that will start to take care of the things you failed to do if God sees all the good he won't sleep has nothing to do it is what I want you to see the truth is friend every single one of us with in myself, am a miserable flopping faith when it comes to? It is only by the grace and the in dwelling presence of the Spirit of God. That's it.

Listen to me carefully, giving us some preacher talk. I'm not preaching a sermon I'm telling with all of my heart and I've been there in the first time God ever put it to me that I was afraid you know what I did I start telling him all the reasons I was willing to agree that I had failed many times. I was honest enough to list a bunch of those.

But when God so clearly said to me know you are a failure when it comes to living righteously. You can't mate something when I saw that I was able to not just think about that theologically, but when I was able to say Lord with all of my heart. God you are right and when I was willing emotionally and mentally and spiritually say Lord, you're right.

I am a failure in the real truth is that old Charleston ever really get any better. The truth is, he never has been improved able get the better he can't get because you never intended to do what I try to do next.

Improved UN replaced somebody else's life mate, something I've read this book everyday of my life with a very few exceptions since I was 12 years of age.

I've read it. I pray God knows the heart of my soul has been to obey him not dissipating many many many times. But my heart is talking through all that up to God. None of that When I could perceive in my spirit guide you are right.

I within myself and the fate and could recognize and accept by faith when Jesus Christ was crucified.

I was across with. Now he lives within me and I don't have to tribal impressing the body live up to standards that are there any that in the more that is no longer not try but just trusting you to be everything in me. He wants to be doesn't mean Upson but I can tell you this brother God began to free my stick but not until I was persuaded I look at the faxes. Jesus showed them to me.

Not until I can honestly confess Lord Jesus, you are right, faith is a Christian lots so realize that he knew that all along and all my trying was in vain and what he wanted me to do it. Just allow him to do what he'd been trying to do for 40 some years if rate no longer seeking approval and lots of man is resting and trusting in Jesus Christ as my life crucifixion. The realization of it. The actuality of it. The faith, the recognition of the acknowledgment is essential if you're not going to be free is coming to the place of seeing myself and yourself as a spiritual thing with ourselves.

Listen to me, isn't the real truth that you are a spiritual thing. I make you strip off your works strip off all the things you depending upon and this just left is in the real truth that your failure to keep in mind thing all the time.

You'll think good thoughts about folks all the time that absolute daily on assault on the hallways. Every single solitary little time tell the truth don't live for years that being covetous, a lustful the truth is friend. We can't. I'm simply saying this to you that when it comes to living up to the standard of Scripture, urethane, and when you're able to tell them. Lord I really am not accepting your life is my life not believing it for that God will begin to free and I just want for you what God wants for you, telling you I have something else I'm saying. All I want for you is what God wants for freedom and liberty in the spirit become the maximum of what God sees is your potential.
