LAW AND GRACE

IN THE NEW MILLENIUM





[21:12] Lord, [21:12] we thank you that we can come here together in your name [21:12] we bring tonight an assortment of needs and joys [21:12] Yes, Lord [21:12] we thank you Lord [21:12] yes lord [21:13] that no matter where we are in life you are here and you understand [21:13] yes [21:13] we ask that you be especially with sing tonight and her need [21:13] yes [21:13] yes Lord [21:13] you know how hard things are to cope with sometimes Lord [21:13] you were here and you experienced all the things we feel [21:13] yes lord [21:14] wb [21:14] thank you that we can talk to you about any of these needs and that you comfort and help [21:14] Lord as Cronus opens your word to us tonight [21:14] yes Father, thank you [21:14] we ask that you anoint him and that you use your word [21:14] yes [21:14] to minister to us as each has need [21:14] that you bless it to your service [21:14] yes lord [21:15] and we claim your promise that as it is sent out it will not return void but will accomplish what you choose [21:15] yes [21:15] accomplish your work here in this room tonight Lord [21:15] according to your desire [21:15] and we give it to you [21:15] yes lord [21:15] in your name [21:15] Amen [21:15] Amen [21:15] amen [21:15] Amen [21:15] amen [21:15] very cool amen [21:16] *** CRONUS-KEDAR changes topic to ' Law and Grace In The New Millennium ' [21:17] Tonight we are going to take a look at the relationship of Law and Grace in the life of a soldier of God as we face the new century. [21:18] In the upcoming new century we as the soldiers of God are going to be facing the enemy as he musters all his strength against us in spreading the word of God to the world [21:18] Amen [21:18] very true [21:19] In the days ahead the soldiers of God are going to be in a more aggressive battle with the demons of darkness then ever before [21:20] Satan is going to have his legions charging forward to hinder and stop the last days revival with all his tricks . [21:21] Now from what I have heard from many that talk about the new century there is one thing I have noticed that is very alarming [21:22] Satan is going to try and slam us and those we are trying to help with condemnation to stop people from even trying to come to God or work for Him. [21:22] I am not worthy [21:22] very true [21:22] Or I can not be used of God because I make mistakes [21:23] These are the tactics of the enemy and they are going to increase in the upcoming years [21:24] This is why for us to be effective in this new century in helping the lost and the saved we as soldiers of God must have the knowledge of how this tactic works and how to combat it for the glory of God [21:24] Now we know that Satan has no power of his own [21:25] but he does have authority not from God but from ourselves to control our lives [21:25] What is the source of this authority? [21:26] If we can find that answer then the soldiers of God can and will stop Satan's enslavement of man in the new century [21:27] this is why tonight we are going to study on : [21:27] Law and Grace Together not Replaced [21:28] A balanced life in Jesus Christ for the new century [21:29] Satan loves to use the Word of God and the provisions of the Lord to snare the creation and gloat about it to the Creator [21:29] where is Satan's power? [21:29] where is his control? [21:29] who has given him the authority? [21:30] 1. the power comes from The Law [21:30] The control comes from condemnation [21:30] and the authority comes from man [21:31] So it is that in the new century Satan will use these things to stop the move of God and the soul winning of the children of the Lord. [21:31] kjv Galatians 2:16-17 Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Galatians 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. [21:32] kjv Galatians 2:18-19 [21:32] * Nurice   5[] 10KJV 5 [] : 13 Galatians 2:18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. [21:32] * Nurice   5[] 10KJV 5 [] : 13 Galatians 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. [21:33] kjv Galatians 2: 20-21 [21:34] It is by the Law that Satan has his power. [21:34] It is by the Law that mankind falls into sin and condemnation [21:35] But on the other hand Jesus was born to save man from the Law.' [21:36] Jesus came not to discard the Law has some preach [00:03] but He came to fulfill the Law and it is by the Grace of Jesus that the keys that hold the locks and chains of sin were taken away [00:04] through the grace of Jesus mankind can be righteous and fulfill the Law through the sacrifice of Jesus by His grace [00:04] niv Galatians 3:12-13 Galatians 3:12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." [00:04] niv Galatians 3:17-18 Galatians 3:17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. Galatians 3:18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise. [00:06] It is that by the Law that we in this new century are going to have to deal with in the lives of people that will come into our sphere of influence [00:08] Once we can see and show that there is a balance of Law and Grace in a child of God's life Satan will lose his weapon and go running in defeat for it is this knowledge that will lose his control to drag the souls of man to the pits of hell [00:08] For years many in the body of Christ have felt differently on the subject of the Law [00:08] when it is in relation to grace [00:09] and this has caused confusion in many of the body of Christ [00:09] Many churches try to stay away from this topic but with the advent of the new century. [00:10] If we as soldiers of God are going to go out and win souls for God [00:10] then we must know the balance and know that it is in our lives and the lives of others [00:11] To understand these two foundations of a soldier of God--Law and Grace-- [00:11] we must realize what they are and how they operate together [00:11] in our lives and how to explain it to others [00:12] First the Law was never replaced [00:12] Grace did not replace the Law in the lives of man [00:12] Now this point is used by Satan to bring up condemnation in many lives today [00:13] and it has stopped many good workers of God from going forth to do the work [00:13] But in truth the law was fulfilled by Jesus and it is grace that helps us live under the law [00:13] It is Jesus who gives us this grace [00:14] The Law was written in cold stone by the finger of God for man. [00:14] Grace was written in the heart of man by the blood of Jesus [00:15] With a loving caring way for His children [00:15] niv john 14:23-24 John 14:23 Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. John 14:24 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. [00:15] niv john 14:25-26 John 14:25 "All this I have spoken while still with you John 14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. [00:16] Through the fulfillment of the Law by the sacrifice of Jesus we are made holy through Him --by one faith in Him--and His grace [00:17] and He has given us the Holy spirit to teach and help guide us in living with the Law [00:18] Now once we show this to people in the new century there will be a release of God's workers that will run over the land and the net like a flood sending demons ahead of them fleeing for the furthest pits of hell [00:19] Praise God [00:19] and Satan is going to be running for his life for every blood bought child of God will be beating him down for there will be no condemnation tactic to slow or stop the body of Christ [00:20] The Law served a purpose in the Old testament and it still serves a purpose today [00:21] If we try to drop the Law for grace we will be lost to the enemy for it is the Law that tells us what God wants from us and how we should live for Him [00:21] Without Law there is no guidelines on sin and this is devastating [00:21] the purpose of the law was and is [00:22] niv Galatians 3:19-20 Galatians 3:19 What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator. Galatians 3:20 A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one. [00:22] niv Galatians 3:21-22 Galatians 3:21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. Galatians 3:22 But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. [00:23] Yes there is a balance of Law and grace in every christians life and if we know this then Satan has no way of sidetracking us [00:24] Law is just as important in the upcoming 21st century as it was in the old testament days [00:24] But glory to God unlike the old testament days when there was no saving grace [00:25] today we have this through Jesus and it is because we are the ones that God is going to use in these last days revivals for his glory [00:25] niv Galatians 3:22-23 Galatians 3:22 But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. Galatians 3:23 Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. [00:25] niv Galatians 3:24-25 Galatians 3:24 So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ [14] that we might be justified by faith. Galatians 3:25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law. [00:26] niv Galatians 3:26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, [00:26] this is what we must know and be able to show to the world of the new century [00:26] the law was a teacher to mankind [00:27] it was a guide for mankind [00:27] it was before Jesus but it was Jesus [00:27] for it led man -- but the law was not whole [00:27] it had a weakness [00:28] although it could lead man and teach man it could never save man [00:28] there was no redemption in it [00:28] it only punished sin and did not forgive sin [00:29] In truth no man can live under the law alone [00:29] and this is the trick that Satan is using now and in the upcoming century [00:29] Jesus saved us [00:30] and when he said that he came to fulfill the law he did not mean forget the law [00:30] today the law teaches [00:30] it guides [00:30] it is for us to live by [00:30] but it is only through the grace of God that we can live with it [00:30] So here is the truth [00:31] A man lives away from God in the world he is under the full weight of the law [00:31] with no redemption [00:31] unless he accepts Jesus and comes to God's saving grace he is doomed to hell [00:31] Jesus paid the price and made the way for man to return to God [00:32] and this is the point we have to remember and teach if we are to defeat Satan in the new century [00:33] law is God's demand for us to live by [00:33] Grace is God's gift for us to live by [00:34] to try and put one over the other is to nullify the sacrifice Jesus made for us at calvary and to reject the gift he has given to us [00:35] What the law commands of us grace fulfills for us [00:35] law demand obedience [00:36] grace gives life as we obey [00:36] Law punishes for transgressions [00:36] grace pardons us [00:36] law reveals sin [00:37] Grace reveals Christ who saves from sin [00:37] law commands us to love God [00:37] grace tells us God loves us [00:37] Law demand holiness [00:37] Grace provides holiness [00:38] Can you not see that one can not be whole without the other in the life of a soldier of God [00:38] Law condemns and does not justify [00:38] grace justifies freely [00:38] law pronounced the curse [00:39] grace announces blessing [00:39] law brings forth bondage [00:39] Grace sets free [00:39] Law shuts man off from the presence of God [00:39] grace opens the way for man to come boldly to God [00:40] law says do and live [00:40] grace says live and do [00:40] Law makes progress impossible [00:40] grace makes growth possible [00:40] law was the shadow of things to come [00:41] grace reveals the image of good things [00:41] law is the strength of sin [00:41] grace is the power of God to break sin [00:42] now as we go into the new millennium it is our mission to show this to all we meet [00:42] all we witness too [00:42] all we help to save [00:42] to those already saved who are unsure of this relationship of law and grace in their lives [00:43] But there is a warning we must also give to those in the new century [00:43] Grace is not a legal right to go and sin [00:43] to do this is stepping on the shed blood of Jesus [00:44] and it is this reason that we will have to be able to show these truths to the people we witness and help in the new millennium [00:44] To do this is to defeat the enemy [00:45] and bring glory to God in the new century [00:45] Law is entwined with grace [00:45] grace is entwined with law [00:45] Jesus is the author of this relationship and it is by this that we will win the lost for His glory in the new century [00:45] God thank you for grace [00:45] amen [00:46] but also thank you for the law [00:46] so in this new century that is upon us [00:46] Let us go forth joyously to win the world for God and defeat the enemy for His glory [00:47] Law and Grace --together not replaced for the year 2000 [00:47] amen [00:47] amen [00:47] let us pray [00:47] our heavenly father [00:48] we come to you tonight [00:48] on the eve of the new millennium [00:48] we ask now in the name of Jesus [00:48] that you use us for your glory [00:48] yes lord [00:48] yes Lord [00:48] let us be the hammers that break the enemies chains to save the lost [00:48] heal the sick [00:49] yes lord [00:49] and strengthen you body [00:49] let us show that law and grace is wonderful together in the lives of our children [00:49] give us the fire [00:49] yes [00:49] a mighty fire to go forth [00:50] yes lord [00:50] in the new century [00:50] as shining stars of your grace and love to a dark and cold world [00:50] yes [00:51] let us be beacons for others to come to you and see that law and grace in their lives brings peace and joy [00:51] yes Lord [00:51] make the fire cause a deep hunger in us o lord [00:51] as the new century comes [00:51] let us hunger to see your power [00:51] yes lord [00:51] your healing [00:52] and give us our words to witness to many and save many for your glory [00:52] and when you do come lord [00:52] let us be doing your work zealously in saving the lost and hammering on the devil, and his minions [00:52] yes lord [00:52] we ask these thing in the name of Jesus [00:52] amen [00:53] amen [00:53] amen [00:53] amen [00:53] Great CRONUS [00:53] Cronus that was a wonderful study, as usual, thanks [00:53] thank you [00:53] we have to be ready to go on for god [00:53] our time is running out [00:54] and there are many to bring to God [00:54] yes [00:54] you all are the front line troops [00:54] you are the nets that Jesus is casting out to save the lost in the new century [00:55] and has nets we must have the lines of law and grace in our lives [00:55] but glory to God we will be victorious [00:55] amen [00:55] yes amen
