Servants, Sons, and the Discipline of Spiritual Growth

Speaker Identification

Speaker 1 – Pastor Tony Alamo: Identified by his opening self-introduction and by the sermon delivery throughout the program.

Speaker 2 – Sharon: Identified by Pastor Tony Alamo’s closing instruction for Sharon to tell listeners how to receive the program, and by her role reading listener letters and contact information.

Speaker 1 – Pastor Tony Alamo:
Hello again, this is Pastor Tony Alamo. Today we're in part 105, how to have God's life living in
you. And this will be program number 207. If you'd like a copy of this program, get your paper and
pencil or pen and paper together so that at the end of the program, Sharon will show you four
different ways that you can get a copy of this CD or the audio tape. Whichever one you order will be
free of charge. That even includes postage and handling. God gave me eternal life free of charge and
gave me the wisdom and knowledge and understanding that I have and I don't charge for it.

It was given to me to give out to you, to give to everyone that wants it. All right, so we have some
letters, scriptures, and a whole new rash of false doctrine that I've heard preachers teaching, one
of them from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. His name is Coy, one of the most miserable. I heard him
dismantle the third chapter of Galatians, unbelievably so. And if I don't know if I want to have
time to do that because I've got so much else here, but the man is an out-and-out heretic. He's so
young and it's impossible for him to be anything other than a novice. Right now let's go to the
throne of the Lord.

Lord, there isn't anything I personally can say because I need, you need my mouth, you said, take my
yoke upon you. That means your work. Lord, I've heard this preacher telling, and I'm sure you know
of him, that you call the nation of sons, not slaves. Well, the apostle Paul called himself a slave.
We are sons, but we must be under tutors, governors, teachers, preachers, helpers, until the
fullness of time. And so we are to be slaves. We're your friend if we are, we do everything that you
say. If we are doing the things that you say, then this is what you said. Now the heretics say something
else, but I would rather believe you than the heretics.

Your word says that people are to obey their husbands in all things, everything, and to obey those
that have the rule over them. You tell men to love their wives. That means to teach them. If they
don't receive the teaching, well then they are like unto heretics, and you are to not have anything
to do with them. As David did, put them in ward. Lord, anoint, you are already anointing the
service. As he did, I didn't even pray the other day, but I know that many messages that you have
brought in the Bible, that you preached in the Bible, that you taught in the Bible, you didn't pray
before it. The heretics came down and you started talking.

Lord, I ask that everything is said straight from your throne by the Spirit, and that every person's
heart is opened. To hear the truth, not a twisted variation of it. That their minds are opened,
their spirits to receive salvation and power and wisdom and knowledge, that they are able to make it
through these last days. Lord, I ask you in Jesus' name that souls will be saved and the church
will be strengthened in Jesus' name, and everyone says amen. Amen.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
From Kenya East Africa?

Speaker 1 – Pastor Tony Alamo:
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ. I have been listening to your program for a long time, which
has enabled me to receive salvation and strengthen my faith. It's a pleasure to listen to direct
truth about the prophecies of God being brought in these last days. Those who are truly in Christ
will know the truth. I thank God that you preach it without hiding any truth. Please send me a Bible
and some Christian literature with Christian love signed Christine from Kenya East Africa.

Speaker 1 – Pastor Tony Alamo:
Okay, next.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Next letters from Zambia Central Africa. Dear Tony Alamo, greetings to you in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Continue being faithful to Him who called you and sent you, for many be called, but
very few are chosen who are blessed like you. I hope and trust the Almighty God is looking after you
very well with your family. I am a pastor of the small home church called Remnant Church. I
separated from the denominational church many years ago for its apostasy. We are the candlesticks
which have been removed out of a devil's snared church. I am writing this letter to you so that you
can help us in our missionary work materially.

We need some holy Bibles and audio tapes in our missionary work. In our area many people do not have
holy Bibles, which is very sad to hear in these last days of the earth's history. Your help will
mean a lot to us and will serve many souls in this sinful world. Please assist us. Many people in
our area, Kawamba, do not have Bibles. I write to you because through Jesus Christ you are our only
hope. Please continue doing the tremendous work you are doing on Radio East Africa and very soon God
will reward you. Please do not stop. We are enjoying very much your program on the Radio East
Africa, the message of hope.

I am 69 years old and my dear wife, she's 67 years old. We will be very grateful if you will send us
some of your t-shirts. Only four, one for me, one for my dear wife and two for our children, size
large. Thank you. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. Your little flock member in Zambia,
Yours, Space Elite Chabala from Zambia.

Speaker 1 – Pastor Tony Alamo:
Don't worry, I won't be stopping there as long as there is breath in my body and time on radio to be
had or television. I'll be there. Praise the Lord, brother, and you be there too. We'll see each
other. If we don't see each other in this world, we'll see each other in heaven. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
The next letter is from Décima Region, Chile. Dear servant Tony Alamo from the Alamo Christian
Ministries.

Speaker 1 – Pastor Tony Alamo:
The man that says God did not call a nation of servants but a nation of sons. We're going to read
some scriptures here today that shows that Jesus himself, even though he'd be a son, he was a head
to be a servant until he was made perfect. It shows also that Jesus was not born perfect. I'm going
to prove that today. And neither are we born again perfect. There are different levels that we attain
to if we continue on. The Bible states that he was made perfect by obedience. And that's the way
we're made perfect also. Is that don't consider yourself as being perfect by any means.

Because some of you are at a very low level in the body of Christ and you need to come to the
fullness of the stature of Christ. You have to become perfect. Jesus in the fullness of time became
perfect at the age of 30. And that's when the Lord called him into the ministry. By obedience and by
his sufferings is what made him perfect because through obedience, through the sufferings he
remained obedient. A lot of people when they're going through trials and tribulations, they throw in
the towel. They just say, I can't take this any longer.

And they figure themselves, they start thinking with their carnal mind, which is made out of dirt,
instead of listening to the scriptures and seeing that even the son, because it was faithful as a
servant until the fullness of time. And God called him into the ministry and he was baptized with
the Holy Spirit. As John the Baptist, the forerunner of the Lord Jesus Christ, placed him into the
water in the river Jordan. And he came up and the spirit came down like a dove saying, and the word
of God came from him and said, this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. And so he became
perfect. He was made perfect.

In other words, by obedience into the fullness of time. So a lot of people think they're Christians
and they say, well you're an old different than me. Well, somebody the 42 years of faithfulness in
the word is a lot different than you. If you're just, first of all, there's all types of parts in
the body. Everyone can't be a nose. Amen. Otherwise there'd be a big nose. You know, for a body
you'd have to get into the Lord's nose. And you'd become a nose as well. Amen. There's different
parts. And so there is difference in the offices of the body of Christ. And so keep your place. All
right.

And realize that you have to be obedient on a daily basis in order to gain perfection. And we're
going to read those scriptures in just a few minutes. And it says, the same thing goes with us. I'm
paraphrasing now, that we must be obedient until the fullness of time. We have to press on to the
mark. We have to become, we have to strive for perfection. You're not perfect now. Jesus wasn't
perfect then either. He was a baby. Do you think that the baby could be anointed to go out to the
wilderness to be tempted by the devil? Well, then he wasn't perfect yet, right?

He had to grow to adulthood in order to, and he had to by obedience, buy suffering, and be an
obedient while he was going through the sufferings. He was made perfect. Do you understand that? Now
if the Lord had to do that, the Bible says, and you and I have to do that as well. So some of the
babes or people that have been in the ministry, they may be 10, 20, 30, 40 years old. And they think
they're perfect and you see them on television. They're novices and they don't even know what
they're talking about. Hopefully they're saved. And hopefully they'll listen to my broadcast and be
able to receive the blessing.

And receive the things that I've learned down to the years through the spirit, through going through
trials and sufferings. And hopefully I feel that I'm still learning. I have to learn every day. I
have to keep striving. I have to read the word. I've got a sister tell me one time that she'd been
in the ministry so long that she doesn't have to read the Bible anymore. But I'll tell you. In other
words, God hasn't got anything else to feed that woman. That's absolute insanity. You know that? You
can't say that. You have to learn from the Lord every day. He's got far more to teach you than you
could ever learn in a lifetime.

I believe that's why Paul said I suffered not a woman to teach. When I listen to women teach for any
length of time, I can see why Paul said that. Sometimes they bring really good messages. But
eventually they go into a spin. You've got another letter here?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Yes. The one from Chile says, Greetings and blessings in the Lord. May the Most High God be blessing
and prospering your Christian work each day. May He give you and your family good health each day to
continue preaching this precious message and winning a lot of souls for Christ. Before I go into
another subject, I thank you for your literature because this literature spreads out like wheat and
it is a blessing to each person who receives it. I want to request messages on video and music
videos of the church. It doesn't matter that it's not in Spanish. It is to only know you and the
hymns.

I also want to petition you for two boxes of monthly assorted literature and Bibles since the people
receive the material like fresh bread. This is all for now. Thank you and blessings. My family sends
their regards to you. If possible, answer me back by email. Maranatha signed Jose from Décima
Region, Chile.

Speaker 1 – Pastor Tony Alamo:
When you see people that are not perfect yet, they haven't become perfect. You can tell it because
they argue with the person that God has called to be the leader, the leader, number one leader in
the whole world. Those people are insane. It's absolutely insane. They argue about everything. I
reckon this is why the Lord has given me this message for today. Because they're at a very, I don't
even know if they're in any level in the body of Christ. Because anybody that would do that could
not be of the Lord. Absolutely not. I know that from the word of God alone and from the Spirit that
it notes me. Okay, you've got one more?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Yes, from Kampala, Uganda. Hello, evangelist Tony Alamo. Thank you very much, sir, for the good
words you are preaching to us in your nice and precious program, the truth, the light, and life. It
is wonderful for us all who have God's life through Christ here on earth and to love God our
Creator. My fellow brethren, I ask you kindly to help us daily with the truth that we don't fall
away again into the world. But if we hear your messages, it will enable us to let God's kingdom live
out its life in and through us. I say to you, continue on and work hard for helping those in need. I
remain yours, Julie, from Kampala, Uganda.

Speaker 1 – Pastor Tony Alamo:
There's a lot. Right, and that's very good. Those are really wonderful letters. Now, people that are
like that, that are not in the body of Christ, and they argue and fight with the leaders that God
has called in very supernatural ways, they become enraged. There's demons inside of them, and they
just want to start throwing things around the room. I never saw anything like it. We've had to ask
several people like that to leave the church. And of course, they join up with a bunch of other
demons out in the world, and they come against us, but the Lord told me, don't even worry about
them. He says, don't worry about them. I'm going to destroy them. And I thank God that God is God,
and not them. All right, now, we have, now, where were we in the scriptures that we left off?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
We were on verse 14 of Hebrews.

Speaker 1 – Pastor Tony Alamo:
Chapter 1?

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
Chapter 1. Okay, well, let's start. How many more verses have you got there? It's the last verse of
that chapter, and then you've got four verses of chapter 2.

Speaker 1 – Pastor Tony Alamo:
Okay, let's go ahead and let's hear that.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
But angels are only servants.

Speaker 1 – Pastor Tony Alamo:
Yes, angels are servants. Jesus, the Bible says that he was a good and faithful servant, amen? And
why? Because he was a man. Truly, there's two aspects of the Bible talks of Jesus with. One is that
he's a man, and it's very important for people to believe that. And then on the other hand, it tells
that he is God, because he's God-man. God was in him. He came to the world in the flesh, blood, and
bone. A man. And don't let anybody kid you or tell you a lie. Anyone that doesn't say that is an
antichrist. We said, Reverend Hagee and many other quote, reverends on TV say that Christ had God's
blood. But God didn't have any blood.

That's why he had to come to the world as a human to have genuine human blood. And he came in the
flesh to show the power of God. Well, how did he show the power of God? The power of God he showed
was that no human being ever kept the commandments of the Lord from Adam until Christ. No one could.
I mean, the law was there and they kept breaking the law and they had to keep getting their sins
forgiven. And in order to do that, God had the law of sacrifices. Well the law of sacrifices is done
away with now because Christ became the one sacrifice. All those animal sacrifices were pointing to
the true sacrifice which was Jesus.

And when Jesus came that ended the burnt offerings and the spilling and the murdering or the killing
of the blood of these animals, they were symbolic of Jesus. So when he came, he died once and for
once and for all. For everybody. He made a way for those who wanted to have victory over sin and the state of
the world. Now a lot of people say, well, he did all the work. He says, come unto me, all you that
are heavy laden and I'll give you rest for your souls. So these young, uneducated, immature teachers
are saying, well that means that you're supposed to rest Jesus did all the work. He says, take my
yoke upon you.

That means my work upon you for my burden is easy and light. So he says, I'll give you rest. That
means I'll give you the power to rest from your old sinful life and my yoke is easy and light. Well,
it's just like myself. Some people say, how can you possibly be a person that never really care that
much for school and how could I possibly be the principal of many schools? A person that didn't care
about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and nothing before I had the supernatural experience with the
Lord. How could I take on this work? Well, because the Holy Spirit, God the Father, the Son of the
Holy Spirit is in me and it's like a labor of love.

People that are around me will tell you that it doesn't even look like I'm working. amen? No. And
I'm conducting all sorts of different teaching people business and I tell them how to do business. I
am a pastor and I do tapes and I instruct people that have businesses, I instruct them on how to run
them properly because people know or they say all the time that I'm awesome in business and I tell
them yes, but I'm also very good in the spiritual realm as well on some people they shut their
mouths because they're kind of all they thinking about business and they don't want to talk to me
about being spiritual.

But I consider myself a spiritual being. God is called a nation of spirit sons. But the sons in
order to be in the kingdom of heaven must be obedient while they're here on this earth. Okay? We
also call a nation of spirit kings, a nation of kings to be in the kingdom of heaven because there
are many provinces, many different sections of heaven and the Lord loves to use humanity to rule for
him. Remember the Lord is not going to usurp the authority of man on this earth because he gave the
rulership of this world over to mankind.

Now it was lost until Jesus came and then Jesus regained in the flesh, the human flesh, human flesh,
blood and bone, he regained rulership of this world. And so what the Lord his purpose was to extend
the kingdom of heaven into this world. And in order for him to do that he has to have sons. But the
sons in order to extend the kingdom of heaven into this world they have to be obedient sons, i.e.
servants or slaves. Now we're going to be a slave one way or another, we're going to be a slave to
sin either to the Lord or to sin. A person that sins is a slave to sin. And in other words there are
servants of sin or Satan is their God.

But a person that puts away sin and comes to the Lord for a rest or an eternal Sabbath because
eternity starts here in the kingdom of heaven when the Lord is living in us then we're eternal. And
the Bible tells us that we're sitting in the throne with Christ above all powers and principalities
because we're in his body. And if we're in his body Jesus never sat idle, he was always working. And
so we're the continuation of the working incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ here on earth. So
anyone says that Christ did all the work. It could be construed if they knew what the Word of God
meant that yes he is doing all the work in and through us.

It's the continuation of his work here. And if people are not interested in doing or abiding in him,
if they were abiding in him and he were in them then they would know without a doubt that Christ
requires work because he said he's going to judge us for the works that he did. We let him do in and
through us and we co-worked with a yoking up with Jesus being said, it's he and ourselves that are
doing the work and it's easy. People that are around me all day say it doesn't even look like you're
working in my God you about for the church or for people, properties of a hearing, instructions to
get a bunch of cars over there.

Every instruction people in Europe and China and all over the world on what to do and then you're
doing messages and you give messages for people that are dying and you're afraid for people during
the day. You're overseeing children and adults and also rebuking and throwing, putting devils out of
the church left at one right after the other and if people think that I don't like that I love it. I
love the working Lord. It doesn't put any pressure on me whatsoever and they say how do you do all
this because I'm doing other things that I don't mention now.

I'm recording, I'm doing motion pictures, I'm reviewing scripts, writing scripts, synopsis, I can't
remember everything I do. Sometimes you can go shopping. It doesn't seem like work at all to me
because why? Because it's the Holy Spirit. That's why the work is easy and light. It's because the
entire fullness of the Godhead bodily is living in me and it's the Lord that's doing the work and
it's like an easy thing.

That's what it means when people, it says that we're not supposed to be taking the scriptures as
though it's some, we get so involved in doing things for the Lord that is out of the Spirit because
a lot of people just, they're like, say, can't experience your life. You're like, we've got to do
this, we've got to do that, we've got to do this and that and this and that and this and that. We
have to keep busy every second or else God's got to sling us into hell and everything. No, the Bible
says that we have to walk. Let the Spirit lead us and the Spirit is not going to lead you that way.

In other words, that's what it says, we're not saved by the law. The law doesn't save anyone, it
condemns them and they're all trying to, in other words, it's like when I got saved, I was just
praising and thanking the Lord and worshiping with all my heart and soul and I could feel the
Spirit cascading down from the kingdom of heaven and I still do and yet some people, they take the
law upon themselves and it's like somebody coming up to him. You believe in Jesus now, huh? Well,
here's about 45 books, it's got the law in it. All right now, there are thousands of sub-laws.
Now you start keeping the law.

Well, first of all, there's no more law of sacrifices of animals, amen? But, and we don't know what
to do unless it's the Holy Spirit leading us and that's why you're not really of the Lord unless the
Holy Spirit is in you because the Holy Spirit makes it easy for me to serve the Lord and Buster says
the same thing. He says, it's such a joy. You know, he's doing all sorts of things all over the
place. He's flying to Africa, he's over in New York, over in Portsmouth, over in Texas, Canada, in
Los Angeles, and he says, it's so much fun. He said, I thought it was exciting before I was saved,
that's exactly the way it really is.

When you're living by the Spirit, I can't be like reading rule books every second. I know what the
Bible says, you have to know what the Bible says. And it's for sure, you have to keep the law. Not
the law of sacrifices, not the law of circumcision and not all these other laws of pots and pans and
washing and all these type of things, but the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, amen? Just
walk in the Spirit and the Lord will tell you when to praise and thank Him and glorify Him and
everything. And if you're in the Spirit, the Bible says you're perfect, amen? Amen.

And so what we need to do in order to be perfect, we're reading scriptures in that regard and the
messages, we have to be children of the kingdom, not of a religion. Now we have to be in the sons of
the kingdom, it's a kingdom full of sons because God extended His kingdom here into this world and
He wants us to bring about the kingdom of heaven. And that the only way that's happened, no one can
come into the Lord and that's the Spirit leads Him. So we have to be spiritual beings, kings and
priests.

We're talking primarily about kings now so that we will be able to rule this world because if we're
in Christ then He wants us to continue ruling the world now. If you're back in Christianity, if
you're now a child of the kingdom, then God extending His kingdom to this world, then you have to
rule it. I mean if you are a ruler, but as I said before, not everybody in the kingdom is a ruler.
You may be a king but you have your position in the kingdom and God calls rulers like there wasn't
two Moseses or two Joshua's, there was just one. And so people have to follow the orders of Moses
and Joshua.

The people all said anyone that won't listen to you will kill them. Didn't say that? We'll kill
them. If they don't harken unto your voice, we're going to kill them. And so, but God, you know,
people should be aware because if the Lord, now we have the New Testament and this is where the Lord
spoke to us now. And so if people died without mercy under the jurisdiction of Moses, the one who
spoke on earth, then how much more do you think the punishment should be to those that will not
listen to him that speak us from heaven? amen? No. Okay, so continue reading.

Speaker 2 – Sharon:
The angels are only servants.

Speaker 1 – Pastor Tony Alamo:
They are spirits that are all servants until we come to the fullness of the stature of Christ until
we've reached maturity. And when the time comes, then we will now here read some of this right here.
This is Hebrews chapter 5 verses 8 and 9. Though he were a son, in other words, he Jesus were a son.
And though we, when we accept the Lord into our heart with the Father by the Spirit, we cry, Abba.
And he says, what manner of love does the Lord have towards us? That he should call us sons because
he never even called angels a son. amen? But though we, or he and we, he were a son, yet learned he
obedience by the things which he suffered.

So he had to go through all sorts of trials and tribulations. So it could be a testimony to us who
would come afterwards that he was like tested. In other words, he's showing off that the power of
God in a human body, a human body that had never kept the commandments, couldn't keep the
commandments of the Lord. Now he came into the world and proved that a human body with the power of
God in it can continue ruling the world.

That's why it's an abomination to God and to any true red-blooded Christian that would say that the
authorities on this earth are, is the Antichrist or this world government, the head of it, which is
the Roman Catholic cult and the media. They are not rulers. Now the Lord said that every kingdom has
a kingdom. Every kingdom has a king. Right? Right. And every kingdom has a territory. And the Lord's
territory is the kingdom of heaven. He wants to expand it, to extend it to the earth here. He said,
my will be done on earth as it is in heaven. So he's telling his sons, rule according to my will, okay?
Not the will of the Antichrist.

And if you don't believe that, then you are part of the Antichrist regime. Okay, so when we are
confronted with Antichrist, or they say you're a servant of God, well, yes, because we're yoked with
him. We rest from our own labors. We rest from our being obedient to the devil. And now we're
obedient to the Lord. And the reason for that is we're here as ambassadors from heaven to extend the
kingdom of heaven here on earth. And that's why the Lord tells us to tell people the kingdom is
heaven is at hand. Repent the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Well, if we're really from the kingdom of heaven, either we're insane or our maniacs or liars, if we
say we're of the kingdom of heaven and we're really not. And if we're liars and maniacs and if there
really is a kingdom of heaven and there's really a hell, then we're going to go to hell if we're
liars. And who is the liar? But the one that says that Christ did not come into the world with flesh
in the flesh with blood and bone. He that say that he did not come in the flesh and in the blood and
the bone is an antichrist.

So all these creatures that are telling you that they're antichrists, they don't want you to believe
that you can be perfect. And the Bible plainly tells us that we can be perfect. So it says, though
he were a son, yet learned he obedience by the things that he suffered. So in other words, he went
through sufferings. And so if you're of the Lord, then he said, if they persecuted, be they're going
to persecute you. And the more they persecute you is more of a sign that you're really of the Lord.
There are people out there. I mean, I can't even get a credit card.

I'd, you know, there's people out there that are backside of their devils right out of hell and
they're like doing everything in their power to try to do something, but the Lord won't let them.
Okay. So he was made them obedience by the things which he suffered. So when you're going through
these trials and tribulations and being thrown in prison, falsely, and everything, if you're still
obedient that you don't throw the towel in and start raging out like some devil possessed person
that doesn't like to receive the things of the Lord and doesn't have the Lord living in them, well
then you are obedient if you go through the sufferings.

It's still praising and thanking the Lord and still witnessing and testifying and still bringing
about the kingdom of God while you're on earth because you, the Lord has extended the kingdom
through his sons which are servants for a while. Now the Bible says that God made Jesus a servant
and it says that he became, he made him a little lower than the angels for a while. Just for a
while. In other words, to come down here in show that flesh is weak but with the spirit of God in
it, we're powerful. We're more than conquerors. Amen. Amen. You want to be with us? Who could be
against us?

And that's why I stand up before the God of this earth this is me, the entire Antichrist system and
even little snips that think there's something and they're nothing. I didn't even consider them to
be saved. That's why I put up with that stuff because I don't really put up with it I do what the
Lord tells me to do. If there's not really people, if they receive not the Word of God when I put
them out of the church. Well, you're going to be people will say things about you there. They surely
do But I surely am not afraid of them. I'm more fearful of the Lord than I am of them Wouldn't you
be?

If you wouldn't you're not of the Lord And it says and him being made perfect. I Mean this man
became perfect By being obedient through obedience He became the author of eternal salvation unto
all Them that obey him not the one-world government Not the Antichrist government called or media
You must obey the Lord That is if you want to be saved Now that is Hebrews chapter 5 verses 8 and 9
and then we have Luke chapter 2 verse 40 and the child grew Well, I mean if he was perfect, he
wouldn't have been a baby at first, right?

He had to grow amen And he waxed strong in spirit in other words He as we are supposed to do were
supposed to get stronger in the Holy Spirit every day You're never to get weak. You're never to fall
back. You're never to turn back but Luke 2 40 says, quote and the child grew and waxed got strong in
spirit filled with wisdom and power of God Was with him. Well when we become born again of
Christians the power of God is with us too Now of course he had the power of God in him when he was
born and God made him a little baby a baby boy and he was born of a virgin But he was still in all
ways in every way.

He was like unto us So that he could help us he was tempted to just like we are but he never threw
the towel in he never growled like a devil out of hell and argued with God Or the ones that God put
over him Like his mother and father his stepfather But he was obedient to them as a son Until the
fullness of time which was about 30 years old and he was called into the ministry baptized by John
the Baptist with the Holy Spirit Which gave him not only the spirit in him was God, but he received
the baptism of the Holy Spirit Or he'd be able to go through all the trials and tribulations that
one goes through when they're in the ministry All right, so The grace of God was with him now Luke 2
52 and Jesus increased in wisdom and stature now if he was perfect then what would he have
to increase for amen?

So he wasn't perfect when he was born the spirit of God in him was perfect, but In the spirit of God
that's in you when you become born again as perfect as well But you still have to keep your flesh
under the spirit of the Holy Spirit you have to Make yourself You Have to discipline yourself to be
disciplined by the Holy Spirit if you want to Grow increase in wisdom and stature and in favor with
God in man That's Luke 2 52 So in all ways Christ was made we're made like in fifth Christ where in
Christ was made like unto us So that he could go through a human life and know what we're going
through If you itch, he itched. If you get hungry, he got hungry if you would hurt if somebody put
nails in your hand and feet your hands and feet and put a poked a spear into your side and Pulled
your beard or your hair out and knocked your you in the face and beat you to a pulp He hurt too Now
if you think that he didn't hurt and you make the scriptures a lie now relations for verses one
through five quote now I say That the heir, as long as he is a child in other words as long as Jesus
was a child and not fully perfect yet in the flesh differs nothing from a servant and so this man is
saying God never called servants.

Oh Yes, he did. Amen We're called to serve God with him in us to allow him to use our bodies Why
would he want to own our bodies? Why did he pay for our bodies to live in with his precious blood
that he shed on the cross at Calvary if he didn't want us to do his work or to do his work
with him So he differs nothing from a servant though. He'd be Lord of all so he's Lord of all and
we're in his body. So we're members of the Lord of all But still we must we're not perfect yet.

We must grow on a continuous basis continually until the day comes forth Until the time comes where
the Lord does with us whatever he wants to do because we can't be trusted of the Lord if we get
Angry and argue with the people that are the rulers in the Lord here on earth You can't be used
by the Lord you have too short a fuse That doesn't make you anything but a weakling or a person
that doesn't even have the power of God in you So though he be Lord of all he's still the servant
He's a servant though. He even be the Lord God in the flesh And so we are the Lord God of the flesh
too. He calls us sons.

Amen So when sons say well, they were not servants Well, we're servants until the time we're
called up into the kingdom of heaven Yeah, and we're called up right now, but we still have to serve
the Lord.

Amen Okay, but It says so even though he's the Lord of all he's still a servant But is under tutors
and governors until the time appointed of the father so he had to be under tutors and governors He
had to subject himself onto his mother and dad Amen So we when we were children We're in bondage
under the elements of the world Jesus never was but he was still wasn't perfect yet He had to prove
that he was going to be perfect all the way until he reached the fullness of the stature of the
living God Here on earth in a human body But when we were saved we were much older Then he because I
am was saved at the age 30 And now I'm still It says the Bible tells us for us to strive for perfection
if these people say no one is perfect Well as long as we're in the Holy Spirit and we're
striving for perfection to learn more and more and as long as we're teaching people We're working in
the gospel field Then according to God we're perfect We don't to go.

I don't go by your judgment I go by the judgment of the Lord which gives me great Confidence to
approach the throne of the living God but through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ I'm saved and I
have gone through fire and I've gone through trials and tribulations and I've gone through it in the
world most of the people I've dealt with you know, I wouldn't even speak to him before Let alone
deal with them.

I wouldn't deal with them But in the Lord I want to be perfect Therefore I do what he says So we
children we were in bondage under the elements of the world But when we when the fullness of the
time Why I had come God sent forth his son So when the time came for us to be saved God sent for his
son into us To make us so that we're not under subjection to the elements of the world that we're
under the subjection to the Holy Spirit If we res surrender ourselves unto the Holy Spirit if we
Discipline ourselves To be under the Holy Spirit just like when people want to lose weight I mean
they have to discipline themselves not to take cookies candies cakes pies and stuff like I did when I first got out of prison.

I was in prison for the gospel say Because if you do, you know, we're like bags, you know a grocery
bag when it gets full bulges, right? So you got a watch it. You got to put a knife to your throat if
you want to lose weight You say well, I have no control over it. Yes, you do. I never saw a cookie
jump into your mouth Why you had to go and take it, okay? So you have to discipline yourself. I
never saw a Piece of cake cut itself and it's fly through the ear and hear about So you have power
over that amen.

You can discipline yourself Okay, so you um so as said so when the fullness of time came God sent forth
his son made of a woman made under the law to Redeem them that were under the law was I mean
redeemed them?

Well, he wanted to get us back to where we're ruling the world because we originally were the rulers
of the world God gave humanity rulership over this world and So if we're if we're really truly
redeemed as the Bible says we are Then we're rulers of the world What else okay, that was his
purposes to redeem us to be rulers of the world now for rulers we have to rule Or we have to be
under the rulership of the Lord which means that we're going to have to listen to whoever the Lord
puts as ruler over us Well people say well, they're cult leaders You know whoever's saying that is
the cult leader. Amen.

They're leading you astray All right, so I'm telling you what the Bible says here Now so to redeem
them that we're under the law What does that mean that the law is done away with absolutely not?

God gives us the power to where we can keep the moral law plus all the other laws that the Lord has
in the New Testament Can't look upon a woman with love so you can't look upon a man with lust in
your heart Especially if you're married or especially if it's a married woman or man that you're
lusting after That's no, no, all right And so he we're not any longer so we have to keep the law the
spirit of life in Christ Jesus Which is mentioned then there's another law that the law of sin and
death So if you say and then you're a servant of sin instead of the servant of the Lord And you're
not going to grow in stature with the Lord in wisdom and knowledge and understanding that you're
going to just keep getting more and more corrupt Because of something out in the world that you're
lusting after and you're trying to chip on your shoulder And you may be trying to get kicked out of
the church So that you think that you'll be able to have an excuse that the judgment bar Gone at the
great white throne to say Tony kicked us out Well because if you want to sin and if you don't want
to Live according to perfection and strive for perfection Then of course because the 11th chapter
the book of Revelation says, measure them up Measure people with the word of God because it's a
measuring run and if they don't measure up put them outside with the Gentiles Because we live really
good in the body in the kingdom life And it's not very nice out there in the world full of all the
diseases and the curses that are out there for the Gentiles are but we're living in the
commonwealth of the kingdom and that means everybody commonly has everything they need Now if you
say well, I'm a boy.

I mean church and everything and I still want to have all kinds of lusted sex Now you need to go out
in the world, okay, because you can't do that here Not in the church now There's a lot of churches
you can do that in and I suggest that you would go to one of those because God is going to have a
real church here on this earth and this is it And there's plenty of brothers this is just all over
the world that are getting saved and they're following the same doctrine From the Bible that I
believe and those churches you could go to I mean you can't go there if you're going to sin either
Okay, so if the Lord For those that were under the law the content what that means is under the
condemnation of the law For the law has got a big club and just wants to smash you down into hell
and all God did was take you through the blood of Jesus out of the condemnation of the law he didn't
end the law, but he gives you a second chance He washes the slate clean from the former sins that
you did But he says if you continue if you go again after knowing the truth After being washed in
the blood and after tasting the spirit and the and being around the throne praying that there Uns
the saints and around the throne of God and then she would fall back into the world There's no more
repentance for you.

No more forgiveness. All right. So to redeem us that we're under the law the condemnation of the
laws what that means these Novices don't understand that for some reason no matter how many times
They're told that they just don't read the Bible. They don't understand what the Bible is saying
anyway because they don't somehow God hasn't give them the anointing to that we might become
the adoption of sons But remember a son is still under subjection of The spirit of God in you and
you must as the son said he says take your my yoke upon you and so because My work is easy in life
and anyone that sees me working.

They don't think I'm working alone They probably think I'm loafing. Huh, but it's not so all right.

I see my time is up We say had more time because I've got about actually I've got about three four
hundred maybe five hundred messages that I could go Okay, but I want to put people to sleep on here
All right So now those of you that would like to be born again in the Spirit and become adopted into the
family of God so that you could be called a son Isn't even call the angels never has he ever called
an angel son But you still have to be obedient, okay, so you can start you can be a son now by just
the beginning of a sonship And you can continue on if you're faithful Just start to say this prayer
You may say well wait until tomorrow No, if you're saying no now.

Yeah, yeah, I'll wait a while. You're saying no you're rejecting the Lord So if you're saying yes, I
will say this prayer to the Lord then you're saying yes, you're accepting it Don't think you're
doing God any big favor because God is doing you a favor You're going to get into the commonwealth
of the Lord.

So say this prayer Say to God my Lord and my God have mercy upon my soul, a sinner I believe that
Jesus Christ is the son of the living God and I believe he died on the cross and shed his precious
blood for the forgiveness of all my filthy sins and I believe that God the spirit Jesus himself
raised himself up from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit I open the door of my heart and I
invite you into my heart Lord Jesus Wash all my filthy sins away in the precious blood that you shed
for me You will not turn me away Lord Jesus.

You will save my soul I know because your word says so your word says you'll turn no one away and
that includes me therefore I know you've heard me and I know you've answered me and I know I'm saved
and I thank you Lord Jesus for saving my soul Precious Lord precious soul. That's all we really have
is our soul And we have the Lord if you accept him Now thank and praise the Lord. Thank you Jesus
