The Fragrance of Messiah, Part 2

Greetings friends and new listeners.

Welcome to this program in the Archie Hardy ministry. I'm Sharon, not that I'm so happy you joined us today because we know Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Today's message is the fragrance of Messiah. I know this title has a pleasing now that I assure you there is a soul stirring, eye-opening alarm of the Holy Spirit contained in this anointed package as real Christians, we are both fragrant and foul-smelling because our gospel is a gospel of life and death. As you will understand in the fragrance of Messiah not to get bold like that. Last week, you better get a spiritual backbone because some of these things are going to become ill legal is a will. That's the military that doesn't apply to me. Let me read this to you and me reading this little this other little story than the moviegoer message. This is what now is illegal. The Supreme Court has ruled that kindergarten children can no longer verbalize the prayer of Thanksgiving as they partake of their morning snack. The specific words that the Supreme Court ruled contraband. Is this. We thank you for the flowers so sweet. Thank you for the food we eat, we thank you for the birds that sing we thank you God for every it is now illegal, it's illegal for children to say this prayer. Amen. So I'm telling you that why would the forces of hell take on kindergartners take the why it's powerful.

It has an effect saying to their little minds in their little moldable heart, giving them the understanding you didn't come from strong union come from a monkey God gave you everything. It's not some great theological lesson but it saying thank God for everything he made the per amen, amen. The food you're eating. The main everything.

It's planning in their little moldable hearts this scene that can start growing. That's why the devil picks on kindergartners and doesn't want them to pray, and is made in illegal activity. Amen.

Let me tell you something you and I are going to have to get bold and were going to have to have the backbone. Amen. And we're going to have to stand up for the truth. So how do we respond when were treated like this when were reviled and were persecuted and were defamed and were treated like filth and scum well the Scripture we read says we bless. We suffer and we put up with it we entreat. Let me tell you a good way to translate. We entreat. We stay sweet. I said we stay sweet. Amen. Look at somebody and say injury. Stay sweet. Another words we do in Ephesians 415 says we speak the truth in love when you guys for the truth when from the truth.

We only we speak it in law. Amen. Now some people and many people today are accusing Christians of not having law and it's all because we speak the truth. The moment that you call sin. Sin and I would have been when you when you said get ready when you don't have the you don't have loan.

Amen. But the Scripture in Ephesians 415 does not speak the truth or Pavlov speak the truth. Amen from being the center telling them that you have not been say that you know Jesus that what your life is seen, but there's good news. There is a saying you're well forgiven.

You will receive you and you will you will you amen speaking the truth in love, as long as were not doing it in a hateful condemning way. Amen.

As long as we are, but being the sinner that's the case, thanks to change the homosexual being all nasty, hateful, and then everything but a human being. You think that's going to win on the crime is not you got to show them love you. You know you do not slide showing the truth you show them the Scriptures is that with God's word says you take him back to the creation how God created that and you just tell them you taken the first printing to six after which doesn't suffer some of you but now the washer sanctified.

Amen. But wisdom and understanding. For example let's take homosexuals today in our generation who had unlike us have never been in church their whole life. No one took in the churches kids never been a Sunday school.

They never been to church. They have never read the Bible. They don't have the faintest clue of what's in the Bible. All they know with what they hear somebody else twisted and turned all upside down, said, but they don't know for themselves. They've never heard of the Bible and all their life and given the line you can help it meet you that way they been given the line because God is love. He loves you just the way you are only the inference being, and he doesn't want you to change yes. He loves them as they are, let's quantify that all sinners but is not going to leave them in their sin, because he going to a minimum in the wide open but they don't know that they been given the line God loves God is love. So he loves you.

Amen. And so they don't know how much God hates sin know that so we got to learn to deal with them accordingly. But now, let me say this, it's not the same case for those who were raised in church. It's not the same for those that were raised in the truth and know what the Scripture said, and then going to homosexuality you handle them differently.

Amen. Because they know and you got give them the word in the Scriptures that they already know because the ones that don't know there's a bunch of people out there, especially all over the Internet. All they do is they don't get the Old Testament and they bring Old Testament Scriptures and they say well in the Old Testament you could be stoned for adultery while in the Old Testament it was a sin when a woman had her monthly. I mean I think about this kind of stuff and they make it look like we all know that's crazy and off-the-wall. They don't put it in its context, they will put it in its setting. They don't have the whole picture of the law.

They don't know that the reason why God said that is because he knew that back then they did know about germs and spreading diseases so they bring all that often. They make us Christians look like we are weird as we can be. But do you ever hear them poke from the New Testament.

No, you won't hear them poke New Testament.

They only go back to Old Testament and that's all they get on and of course they like to bring out and they put homosexuals and with beastie reality, and we know that weird in the Bible based beastie. That's one of the reasons along with homosexuality that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. They were also in the beastie team does that mean all homosexuals are and be not thinking that we are inferring that and you never hear him going to the New Testament, but those people that been raised in the truth and raised in church know better than that. They know better than that when they get on the Internet in all they do is take the Old Testament and throw it out there and they'll never bother to go to Romans one, but we will next go to Romans one chapter 1 Romans verse 21 and following because that when they knew God talk about people that know God, they glorified him not as God, and neither were they thankful, but became vain in their imagination vain is foolish on her foolishness and no profit, and their foolish heart was darkened and darkness is always a lie. Darkness refers to a lie just like like refers to truth, professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and they changed the glory of the un-corruptible God into an image made like corruptible man and birds and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, and this always refers to sexual lust through the lust of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves who changed the truth of God into a lie is the only way that you can support homosexuality is change the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and served the creature more than the creator who is blessed forever. Amen for this call, God gave them up unto vile affections for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly or the word is indecent, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet and like it or not, there are specific judgments on homosexuality and you just read right here. I'm not to say what they are what they are not adjusting. The Bible says that they're going to receive a recompense a commensurate judgment for the sin.

Amen.

And they will receive a recompense of their error which was meager which is which is the right one, which is suitable which is proper and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. I worked being his way to image those things that are improper, unnatural.

Amen. So we see that for Christians and people that know the Bible and know the New Testament to then going to homosexuality. The only way they can do it is to change the truth of God into a lie and twist the Scriptures. Amen.

Otherwise, they can't do it. Your conscience wouldn't let them.

Amen. But once they decide to go that way they cannot tolerate Christians because then we remind them of their sin entered then we smell like a rotting court course because we are reminding them of their eternal damnation. And they don't want have anything to do with it. Amen. They don't want nothing to do with it and they're not able to say and I'll say all homosexuals, whether they were ever raised in church or not. Today we see they're not willing to say well to Christians, well that's your opinion and just like me you have arrived in America. In America now not talking religious now in America you have a right to your opinion but they're not written about your opinion can't forget that it's the Bible they're not tolerant for us to have our opinion that they insist that their belief has got to become our belief. Therefore, they insist that they control what you watch or don't watch on television that they control what you can and cannot do in the military if they insist it's okay now to be openly gay in the military but do not be openly Christian using its personnel going back saints go back and change everything that's been done. No one's going to revert back and say okay we changed her mind about the military.

Now you can't be gay.

Okay the doors are doors open and the horses out, you're not going to change it. We can change it were not change all these things that have happened you're not been a change in same-sex marriage law in all the states are adopting it in every year more. It's no going back. It's not my change what we we had all this happen.3.them really scramble so that changes, that's not right.

We speak the point is that with God all things, a repository possible, yes. But God gives people the desire of their heart is wrong again when he did what any time reject you said you're a great topic and you observed that all your life that we love you but you're going to die soon and when you die, what are we going to do your sons are evil, so give us a king, and God said he game he gave them the desire of your heart and saintliness to their soul and so do you think because he some people had this really wrong conception that if it happened was God's will. If this law happened. It's God's will.

If this person ran from prison and unibody. They turn out to be a horrible governor layer present in Sen. what ever en vogue all the wrong way. It must be God's will put stuff like that on the really God's will for everything to go it in the way that the enemy wants.

Well, he didn't stop any letter you want and God is not going to intervene in and he's going to let you have what you want what you want.

Amen. So, we realize that we like to be able to voice her opinion and here's the thing they want to silence the message and order to silence the message they're trying to silence the messengers they're trying to silence those who preach and teach the Scriptures and call them as we saw monsters.

Amen.

And in some cases I've seen where they have referred to people like the Nazis my God help us all. They're looking for some kind of fault that they can latch onto to discredit us so we speak.

If we get so riled up that we speak faithfully we speak words of hatred and retaliation were giving them something to work with were getting them something that they can point their haters that's what they call us haters. Amen. So we have got to be so careful and not just homosexuality. Okay, it's all the things we deal with the pornography that garbage on television all the stuff that we deal with the cannot just that that is been married front and center in the news so I feel that the Holy Spirit had me bring this out, but now let's just get more generic and say their personal and everything.

Amen. I mean if you wear a woman wears a cross necklace on her job. She can be called in for that and said you can't wear that. I mean, what is so offensive about a cross necklace. Well it's offensive because it reminds them of Jesus. Jesus reminds him of Jesus word and reminded the Navy to get amen.

So we've got to learn how to speak the truth, but like Jesus didn't like Stephen did when they were.

He was the first marker of the church. The Bible says he's such a wisdom that he spoke toward the gainsaying got so angry they only stuff that was legal to stone him. According to their law. They said he blasting the let's just go in the context of their law, but they did not phone with 13 thinking a lot about bike people and massing on that with her was pure. There are holier than thou that you blasting the war the law when we are stalking you that we find a way that in that kind of hatred are human instinct is to rise up and give him back the same thing, but when we do we follow the snare of the enemy. We have met the enemy trick we've done exactly what he wants us to do.

The Bible is not to go away so we going to try to silence us or discredit us. Amen. You know you heard about the break-ins and all with the with the finale we had put up posters with his picture on it on. You heard about how they they were able to nab him Thursday and resting and you know Friday night. Brother Lonnie stood up.to say something about I tell you what he said really touched my heart because he said he was talking about the testimony about how that it wasn't just him or Duane or anybody else that was involved when he took the spotlight off himself and put it on the church. He said it was because the church and the believers in Christ prayed, it was because of the prayers of the saints that this guy was calling and I thought a bear the right attitude that the attitude he took the spotlight himself and he began to share with all those who were praying that this man would be caught. He said it was because the saints prayed that he was caught. Amen. And then he went on to say that he's praying that this guy gets state he falls down breaks his neck and the hell Susan that he shows up in my class at the city jail share Jesus with him anymore because Jesus said Ray for our and amen I trust you are being supernaturally stirred by our message. The fragrance of Messiah. I know for myself. It was a true eye-opener when I realized that not only does the gospel of Christ, that we live in preach have the power of life to those who accepted and death to those who rejected but we as Christians are both fragrant and foul-smelling. This is not a contradiction in terms. Apostle Paul said that we are both to those who are seeking truth, we are is a beautiful fragrance that draws them to Christ but to those who harden their hearts to the message of the gospel.

We arrest the stench of death. We smell like a rotting corpse. They don't want to be in our presence because we remind them of their sin and their damnation. Make no mistake, Jesus Christ will have an eternal impact on everyone who comes into contact with the gospel. Those who reject him was seek to silence his message and this means silencing us his messengers. They are looking for any fault to discredit us and this is why we must respond by speaking the truth in love.

Now this does not need to excuse sin. God said I am God, and I change not what he said is said in his word is still sin today.

God hates the sin. But he loves sinners, and so should we. There are those who are real seekers of truth and to then we are the sweet perfume of life because we had the treasurer of the anointing in our earthen vessels. So knowing this gospel is on the death or life, what manner of Christians, should we be. You may order the fragrance of Messiah on CD for love gift of $10 or more request offer S. K.
