All right. So, tonight, I want to speak to you on a subject, the divine interpreter. The divine interpreter. Hallelujah. All right. The book of Job. Job chapter 33. All right. Hallelujah. All right. How many of you love the book of Job? The book of Job is a very powerful book. Now, the book of Job is the oldest book in the Bible. Yeah, it is the first book to be written in the Bible. Job actually predates Moses. You know, the book of Moses was written by Moses. The book of Genesis was written by Moses. Moses is the secretary. God is the author. Okay, so, Moses, it's Moses that gave us the first five books in the Bible. Praise God. But Job predates Moses. So, Job actually came before Moses. So, his writings are ancient. Very old. Before the days of Moses. Hallelujah. And the book of Job deals with very, very important issues. One of the grand themes of the book of Job is justification. Justification. So, the word justification is mentioned so many times. Justify. Justify. So many times in the book of Job. Job 25, verse 4. So, the grand theme is all about justification. So, the word justify, you find it not less than seven times mentioned. But look at this verse. It says, How then can man be justified with God? That's a very wonderful question in the book of Job. How then can man, be justified with God? Or how can he be clean? That is born of a woman. Justification. Praise God. I know we are well acquainted with what Job went through. The sufferings of Job. Is that not so? Yeah. But there are so many things to learn from Job. Now, we know Job suffered. And the common knowledge we have from the scriptures is that if the reason why Satan had access into Job's life was because of his fear. The Bible has said so. Is that not so? It is so easy to see that because that is in Job 3, verse 25. That actually Satan could have access into Job's life because the legal grounds by which Satan could access Job's life was because of fear. So, when you read Job 3, 25, he says that for the thin are greatly feared. It's come upon me. So, all that was happening was something he had already been fearing. That's to happen. For the thin are greatly feared has come upon me. And that which I was afraid of has come unto me. So, Job had fear. And his fears were crystallized. His fears came to pass. But the thing is that there was something Job experienced before his fear. What was the root cause of Job's fear? I'm telling you, something must have triggered fear in Job's heart which actually gave Satan the legal grounds to enter into his life to cause a lot of trouble. So, what was the root cause of Job's fear? There was something that caused Job to be afraid. What was it? It was some consciousness. Some consciousness. You know why? Now, the book of Job chapter 1 tells us that Job had wonderful children and Job was wealthy. So, they were having a party. They were feasting in their houses. In their houses. They would feast here and they would feast there and all of them. But Job, after every party, Job would go and offer to God a sacrifice saying, maybe they have sinned. Maybe my children have sinned. Maybe they have sinned. After another party, he would go and offer a sacrifice to God and say, maybe they have sinned. So, Job kept entertaining, maybe my children have sinned. So, he kept sacrificing untiringly. They have sinned. They have sinned. The Bible never said Job's children had sinned. There was no record of sin by Job's children. In fact, God never said Job's children sinned. When Satan stood before God in the book of Job, Satan never said Job's children sinned. Even Satan could not accuse Job's children of having sinned. God never said Job's children had sinned. Satan didn't even say Job's children had sinned. It was only Job who was entertaining the consciousness of sin. Hey, maybe they have sinned. So, he kept sacrificing, sacrificing. We call that sin consciousness. And sin consciousness is, hey, I've sinned against God. Maybe I've sinned. Maybe God is not happy with me. Maybe God is not pleased with me. Hey, hey. And if God is not pleased with me, it means that, hey, then maybe God will punish me. You see, so when you start entertaining that, hey, hey, hey, someone goes with punishment. Now that, maybe they have sinned. And if they have sinned, it will affect us. We'll lose our blessing. So, he started entertaining. So, the consciousness of sin, which is guilt, condemnation, actually gave birth to his fears. Praise God. But that is why I'm telling you, the root cause of fear is sin consciousness. Look at Adam. Adam. When Adam heard God walking in the garden, Adam, where are thou? You know what Adam said? He said, hmm. He said, I heard your voice. I was afraid because I was naked. Nakedness stands for fear. So, shame and guilt. Therefore, I hid myself. The reason he was afraid was because of his shame. Shame and guilt was what sourced or caused his fear. I have sinned. I have sinned. Now, when you say, I have sinned, I have sinned, you are saying there is debt on your conscience. You are saying you are owing. It's like seeing your creditor, someone you owe. You hide from the person. Is that not so? If you don't, you don't have what it takes to settle your debt. So, Job is always paying, offering sacrifices. And that gave him an uneasy conscience and sparked fear in his heart. And when there is some consciousness, obviously, there will be self-righteousness. Self-righteousness. You know self-righteousness? There are people who have become missionaries. Because they want to use mission work to pay for their sins. Yeah. There are people who are even serving actively in church. Because they want to use their service to pay for some wild stuff they did. years ago so they want to do good works so that their good works will nullify their bad works we call that self-righteousness that is an insult to the blood of jesus god cannot accept any good work you are not seven to erase your sins you are seven as a result of the lost love he laughs you your sins are already forgiven he doesn't remember your sins actually the reason you're entertaining sin consciousness is because you lack revelation that the blood of jesus has wiped away your sins forgiving your sins once and for all your sins have actually been forgiven once and for all if you really understand the bible you know that your sins have been forgiven once and for all and if you know a little greek and greek tenses that one is too much if your sins have been forgiven in the perfect tense but but but but but but but job because of his own easy conscience know what happened to him he started working in self-righteousness so there's so much proof in the book of job just in one chapter alone job 29 job used the word i i me me me i i me myself i he used it 40 times in job 29 and he used you know god is mentioned five times in that chapter and i i i i me mentioned 40 times so it's all of what he's doing what he's doing what he's doing what he's doing what he's doing what he's doing what he's doing what he's doing what he's doing you see so sort of using a lot of doing a lot of things for a kind of approval before god trying to end something trying to end a kind of approval with god by the many things you are doing god is not pleased with that you are having faith in what you are doing instead of faith in what his son has done praise god so job in fact when you read job 326 he says job lost his peace look at job 326 he had an uneasy he said i was not in safety neither had i rest neither was i quiet now in the hebrew these are the three hebrew words for rest are all in this verse he lost all his rest the rest of conscience he lost it so he was so restless and stressed because of some consciousness and uneasy conscience that god has something against him god is not happy with me maybe because of my children maybe so by that you try to do so many things so god will be happy with you now you don't do things for god to be happy with you you believe for god to be happy with you it is believing in jesus that is what satisfies god there is nothing you can do to actually pay the debt of your sons just believe that your sons have been forgiven self-righteousness is doing so many things to attract the favor of god that one takes your eyes from jesus jesus took your place so you have to believe in him praise god now when jesus walked the earth there's there's only one thing he cursed there's only one thing he cursed you know what he cursed the fig tree the fig tree you know he was hungry and saw the fig tree and uh it had leaves but when he went there there was no fruits but the bible says the time of the figs had not yet come so if the time of the figs had not yet come why would jesus curse it jesus wanted to teach us a lesson because in israel the time of the figs the harvest time was at spring that's around april but before spring during winter the fig tree produces a kind of first fruits that was called peg that was a name peg first fruits it was the bikurim the rashif the first fruits what was the promise of the coming harvest during winter when it was all harvest time so when it has such leaves outside it shows you that it has the peg it has the first fruits already so you see the leaves from afar the leaves shows you that it has the peg the first fruits which is a promise that the harvest is coming so jesus went saw the leaves and went but there was no peg jesus cursed it fig leaf religion adam when he saw he was naked you know what he did he covered himself with fig leaves the symbol of self-righteousness covering your shame and nakedness with deeds and with works you know you have done wrong but you want to use a lot of spiritual things to cover it yeah you want to use faster you want to use prayer you want to use service you want to use these things as a means for god to actually bless or further you or to get get you entrance to heaven all those things are insults it's jesus and his blood alone nothing again it's not you you don't come in it's jesus hallelujah jesus enough fig leaves is promising there are people you see them those who are you always using self-righteousness when you when you see them it's like their life is in order these guys are wow they have a very wonderful life but when you get close to them they have no fruits it's just outward holiness at what pretends i see they are very correct but you stay with them and see you can't be their roommates yeah these guys they have an outward form of religiosity but they are always they don't have peace they don't have joy even love for each other and some of those people can be very very embittered unforgiving meanwhile they seem very spiritual it's not spirituality it is a religiosity praise god so job so i have some some consciousness is deadly i have some i have some i have some it because your conscience is uneasy it will destroy your life it will lead to fear it will lead to stress then it will lead to um you see stress causes a lot of diseases and when stress is chronic it can it can lead to cardiovascular diseases yeah stress stress is deadly but stress is from fear and fear is from self some consciousness that's condemnation so whenever you live in condemnation you are living in self-consciousness you did something and you are condemning yourself you're already in some consciousness you are not trusting the blood you are trusting yourself please are you trying to follow hallelujah hallelujah and job satan my satan went to god to talk about job you know that kind of thing satan used to do he cannot do it now when you read your bible don't think satan can do those things again no it's over now how come satan had the confidence when the sons of god had met the angels how come he could boldly intend to their meeting and they couldn't suck him how how come they have you ever thought of that so people like saying that look where the children of god are sitting is also there you know have you heard people saying that yeah where the children of god are sitting is also be careful satan is also there that's where they got it from aha brethren satan is not here in this assembly the thing is that you know adam adam assuming you rented a house for 60 six years you've paid you have the key then uh you brought in your friend to stay with you then you even left you told the friend to take over i'm telling you that legally the landlord cannot suck your friend until your lease is over you understand in fact if he calls for tenants meeting you can even there and represent your friend you understand adam gave his dominion to satan and satan became the ruler of the earth adam was made the ruler of the earth but he gave the relationship to satan aha so satan took his place and adam's place was very high adam's rank was higher than the angels his authority was higher than the angels that is why when angel archangel michael the book of jude when he was rebuking satan concerning the body of moses ark and jamaica couldn't even rebuke satan because the satanic rank was higher than his rank why because satan was operating in the room of adam so the adamic office was higher so ark and jamaica couldn't even rebuke satan concerning the body of moses so he had to employ a higher power and said satan the lord rebuke you so in the book of jude in jamaica ark and jamaica had to call for the lord to rebuke satan because satan was working in adam's office very high and because he was in that office when they called for meeting he could just go You know, he could just go, aha, and he couldn't be sucked. Aha. When God asked him, what have you been doing? So I've been walking to and fro on the earth, trying to say I'm in charge of the earth. When I said to and fro, I remembered my brother-in-law was going for Canadian visa. And he was praying and he read Job. That's, ah, Satan moves to and fro on the earth. Even Satan, God's enemy, moves without his visa free. He moves to and fro. So I said, ah, why would I be in Jesus' visa? He said, no. He said, you can get a revelation anywhere you want. I mean, the Holy Ghost can give revelation anywhere. And without revelation, he had a visa. He said, I'm God's son. Aha, the earth is a lost and the fallen is thereof. Aha, but Satan was moving to. He was moving to and fro without visa. And no one is resisting him. How about me, the son of God? So that's why Satan had access to heaven. Please do understand. But now he doesn't have any access. So when Jesus died, do you know that heaven, there is a place in heaven that had to be purified? Can there be anything in heaven? No. But Jesus took his blood in heaven. You know what he did? Jesus took his blood. There are various spots Satan stood in heaven to accuse the brethren. There's a place he stood. Jesus had to take his blood to heaven to purify those places Satan stood. Hebrews 9, verse 23. Yeah. So the blood of Jesus. It was therefore necessary that the pattern of things in heaven should be purified with this. He's talking about the blood of Jesus. Even heaven. The things in heaven were purified. Because of Satan. So the place he stood has been sanctified. Today he can no longer go there and accuse you. That ministry is over. Whenever he accuses you to God, it means nothing. Because who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies it. Who is he that condemned it? Only one person in the whole universe has the right to condemn you. That is Jesus. And he is the one who died for you. To save you. To save you. Yeah. So he doesn't have that right. So the best thing Satan can do to you is to accuse you to you. Your conscience. So you feel so bad and walk away from God. Praise God. All right. Are you understanding the book of Job? Yeah. Job chapter 9. Sorry, chapter 33. Let's start from verse 9. 19. I'm speaking on the divine interpreter. Hallelujah. He is chastened also with pain upon his bed. And the multitude of his bones with strong pain. So that his life abhorred bread and his soul dainty meat. Now, what's happening is that Job had three friends. In fact, there were four. The three friends spoke first. And the last one, who was the youngest, by name Elihu, he was the one who spoke last. The three friends, they spoke wonderful things, but God didn't approve the things they said. God said what the things they said was not right. But God accepted what Elihu said. The younger one. Now, Job was very sick. And he was troubled. But Job, the troubles of Job lasted for nine months. Nine months. Nine months. Job was so sick that, when you read the book of Job, he was so sick that his garment changed color because of his sickness. Now, Job was so sick that when his friends saw him, they couldn't speak for seven days. They couldn't speak for seven days. So, you could just imagine what they were seeing. They were speechless for seven days. Hmm. So now, Now, Elihu, who was the youngest, began to speak from the mind of God. And he was addressing Job. Here, he's describing someone who is so sick. Although he's addressing Job, it's indirect to Job. Because Job is also suffering something similar. But he's using that to teach Job something. Praise God. So now, he's describing someone who is horribly sick. I've never seen. This kind of sickness before in my life. Now, let's start again from verse 19. And look at what Elihu is describing. So, picture a sick person on his bed. And a multitude of his bones with strong pains. That means that his bones are very painful. He's experiencing pain in his bones. So that his life are borrowed bread. He cannot eat food. And he's so dainty meat. You know dainty meat. Sometimes when you're not feeling well, there are some food you don't want to eat. But there are some food. And you'll miss it. And your appetite calls for it. True or false? Sometimes when you don't feel well, you long for light soup. And when it comes, it's a kind of meat or fish inside. When it comes, you're able to enjoy it a little. But this guy, he's so sick that he has no appetite for the food he likes. Appetite is gone. He's so above. He said, even the food he likes, he cannot eat it. The next verse. His flesh is consumed away. That it cannot be eaten. That it cannot be seen. Do you understand what you're talking about? His flesh. What is your flesh? You cannot see him. His flesh has been consumed. That means his flesh, his body, is eaten up by the sickness. It's gone. And his bones, that's where no sin is taken out. So this is so horrible. I wonder which artist can draw this for us. His body that is sin is gone. But his bones, that was no sin, stick up. So the guy can just see bones. He says, yay. He saw Drowed Nye onto the grave. The guy is living dead. And his life to the destroyers. Makorabaka Taga. If there be a messenger with him. An interpreter. One among a thousand. To show unto man his uprightness. Now, so this is his turnaround. He is given the solution. Such a man that is a scribe. This is the way he can be saved. And this is the way he can be healed. He said, if there be a messenger with him. An interpreter. Then he is gracious unto him. Please, let's go on. Quickly. Then he is gracious unto him and say it. Deliver him from going down to the pit. I have found a ransom. His flesh shall be found. Fresher than a child's. He shall return to the days of his youth. He shall pray unto God. And he will be favorable unto him. He shall see his face with joy. For he will render unto man his righteousness. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Now, let's go back to verse 23. Okay, so assuming your sister, your brother. Is suffering this kind of sickness. You know, sometimes you wish the person is dead. Because the person is in too much pain. His bones stick out. His flesh is consumed. He cannot eat. He's close to the grave. Close to the grave. It is horrible to die without Jesus. My father in the Lord took me to, for us to pray for someone who was dying. On her sickbed, the person didn't have Christ. Apparently, he has preached to her. For a long time, and she was not receiving Christ. So on her deathbed, I was there. She was shaking. And she was saying, "Hey, they are coming. They are coming. They are coming. They are coming." Then she will come down. Then she will scream. She will scream and say, "Yes, they are coming. They are coming for me. Who is coming?" So the person is dying. But it's like the demons are ready to take her to hell. "They are coming. They are coming. They are coming." And it was difficult trying to get her to receive Jesus. Jesus is terrible to die without Christ. So I could see her soul was nailed to the grave, as the Bible described. Thank God we are in Christ. Hallelujah. Now, if there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, the divine interpreter. So now, the solution to this man's problem is that, there should be a messenger. There should be a messenger with him. A messenger with him. Now, who is the messenger? Jesus Christ is the messenger. Now, Jesus Christ, our Lord, is the Lord's messenger. If I want to read Malachi chapter 3, verse 1, he prophesied about Christ. He calls Jesus the messenger of the covenant. "Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me." That's John the Baptist. And the Lord whom you seek shall save you. suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in, behold, he shall come, seeth the Lord of hosts. He says that the guy is dying, but if there be a messenger. Brethren, when you hear the word messenger, it speaks of a message. Isn't that so? A messenger is one who is sent with a message. He's sent with a certain message. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord's messenger. But amazingly, our Lord Jesus Christ was not just sent with a message. He himself is the Lord's message. You understand? The Lord's messenger is the Lord's message. He is the living message. But I like how he's called here. Jesus Christ is called the messenger of the covenant. You know why? You know that there was the old covenant. But God saw that the old covenant wasn't good. That was the law. Because man couldn't keep the ten commandments. Yeah, so he found fault in the old covenant. So God promised that there was going to be a new covenant. A better covenant. A better covenant where we are going to know God in intimacy. Where all our sins are going to be forgiven. Where God's will is going to be written in our heart and we can discern his will in our heart. A better covenant where we flow with God. Where we work in prosperity, in blessing, in health. That's a new covenant. So God knew a new covenant was coming. So he sent Jesus as the messenger of the covenant. You know, what it means. He's the one who came to inaugurate the new covenant. He came to inaugurate a new covenant. He came to enact and usher in a new covenant. He's the messenger of the covenant. Do you know what a covenant is? Because of the covenant we are joined as with Christ. Do you know that whatever Jesus has is yours? Whatever belongs to you, Jesus belongs to you. You are like a joint signatory to an account. Whatever he has, you have. Just because of the covenant. He came to usher in a new covenant so that you can be married to him. You can walk in miracles, can walk in forgiveness, can walk in peace, can walk in love. That's why good things are happening to you. He's the messenger. He came as a messenger. The mediator of that covenant. He came to usher in a new covenant. The messenger of the covenant. If there be a messenger with him and says, I'm interpreter. I'm interpreter. Say interpreter. Interpreter. Now who is an interpreter? Who is an interpreter? You come. Can another person come? Alright. Okay, I'll zoom in. Okay, who speaks French here? If you speak French, come. Okay, please sit down. Okay, and if you can speak both French and English, come. If you can speak both French and English. So you come. You stand here. Now, you stand here. Okay, now, I want you to speak together. But you speak in English and you speak in French. But you communicate. Just be speaking. You continue speaking in French. Do you understand French? No. Okay. So start conversing.
Speaker 2Okay, so you start conversing.
Speaker 1hallelujah alright if there be an interpreter an interpreter who is this what is this interpreter now the word interpreter actually means go between go between say a betweener a betweener go between when I was in class 6
Speaker 3there was this girl who was interested
Speaker 1seriously admiring me class 6 and I was a newcomer in the school and I had some nice boots and some nice bag
Speaker 4at that time I was living
Speaker 1with some black Americans so I was fully dusted and this girl was like you know sometimes in the school you can see some high profile people very high profile so I was so surprised this girl could be interested in me me too, I didn't have the confidence to talk to this girl so there is a friend who was a go between a go between a go between a go between he is a very powerful prophet today and I met him recently some few years ago he told me that do you know that those days whenever you give him so I used to give her gifts to give to that girl so I came with a lot of gifts so go and give to that girl for me but whenever he went he gave the gift in his name
Speaker 3laughter laughter laughter laughter that was before he became born again
Speaker 1and before I also became born again praise God the word interpreter is a go between is the word for an umpire an umpire an umpire an umpire is also the word for a mediator is the same word a mediator a go between an umpire it also means a this man a this man a this man say this man okay a this man so an interpreter is actually a this man in the bible jub 9 verse 33 jub 9 verse 33 jub 9 verse 33 king james version neither is there any this man betwixt us that might lay his hands upon us both see this man is the same as interpreter okay now to explain further I want us to read from verse 30 to verse 35 so jub 9 verse 30 look at what jub is saying jub 9 verse 30 if I wash myself with snow snow water if I wash myself with snow water and how many of you have washed yourself with snow water before or you've never seen snow before if I wash myself with snow water and make my hands never so clean you know to wash yourself with snow water you know what it means is to try to use wax to seek approval before God you know snow he didn't say rain water which is common but snow water is very scarce it's very scarce and the water is very pure and it's very cold so to wash yourself with snow water try to clean yourself there are in those days there were people who were trying to you know subject themselves to pain and punish themselves so that God will see how remorseful they are so God can forgive them we call that penance flagellism so today and snow is from heaven you can embark yourself on a lot of wonderful spiritual things motive is very important don't think you are fasting so God can accept you that's totally wrong fast because you're already accepted don't live holy so that God will accept you live holy because it is your nature you don't live holy to be accepted you don't live holy to be accepted so that God will accept you God accepted you in Christ your holiness can never make you accepted before God it's not enough praise God are you here with me? so there's a motive praise God you live holy because that's our born again nature you don't live holy so God will answer your prayer or God will make you go to heaven or God will make you go to heaven or God will make you go to heaven that's wrong premise you live holy that's wrong premise you live holy that's wrong premise you live holy because it is your life because it is your life because it is your life hallelujah and Job says that if I try hallelujah and Job says that if I try hallelujah and Job says that if I try to wash myself you know to cleanse to wash myself you know to cleanse to wash myself you know to cleanse myself with my own works instead of myself with my own works instead of myself with my own works instead of you know we trust in the blood and in you know we trust in the blood and in you know we trust in the blood and in my own clothes shall abhor me the word my own clothes shall abhor me the word my own clothes shall abhor me the word ditch is actually muddy

This is God. Job is a man but God is the creator of the heavens and the earth. God is so big, so great. He wants to plead his case with God. God is sovereign. Why is he allowing him to suffer? He has not done anything to deserve what he's going through. Please follow him. He wished God was a man. He would have pled his case. And he says, neither is there any this man between us. Who will lay his hands on us both? There's no go between. So he says that, can we have you three people come? Yeah, so this is God. Okay, you go here. You go here. You come here. You stand here. Okay. Okay. So this is Job. This is God. This is God. Yeah. This is Job. This is God. Why are you terrifying him? Why are you causing all his woes and troubles? He doesn't think he has done anything to deserve all of these things. He wished you were a man. He would take you to court to plead his case. But you are not a man. You are so high. He is so low. But his desire is that there was a go between. There was a this man. Who? Look at what this is. Neither is there any this man between us. Now the book of Job, actually, in a graphical way, Job describes the verge of humanity's hopelessness. Now we can call it humanity's hopeless will. He is saying that the greatest need of man was a go between. It was a this man. Because God is far. Man is low. We need a between to plead our case. So he says, neither is there any this man between us. That might lay his hands on us both. Now this was what happened in those days. This. Can you kneel down? Can you also kneel down? Now, all right. I'm not punishing you. Okay. Now, a this man in those days was someone who he's a go between who settled disputes. Now, if there were disputes between two people, the one to settle the dispute was called this man. But there was a day that was appointed for the settling of the disputes. That's why it was called this man. It was called this man. A day was appointed to settle the dispute between two people. Praise God. But when the this man, before he starts settling the disputes, what he does is that he lays his hands on both of them. So, lay your hands on this one and this one. Don't be afraid. So, before you start the disputes, the this man would have to lay hands on the two of them. So, lay hands. Not for impartation. Now, so you are the this man. The reason that these two are in disagreement, he's come to handle their disputes, but he comes as a lawyer to lay hands on both of them. It was symbolic. The laying on of the hands describes his adjudicatory capacity to render an unbiased verdict between the two people. That means that he has the ability and the capacity to rule the case without being biased. But to lay hands on both of them means that he understands both situations. That means you have your particular situation, you also have yours. But to lay, have authority with you, have also authority with you. Understand your predicament, understand yours. That's why I may go between. So, because I can lay hands on both of you and understand both your situations, I'm qualified to render an unbiased verdict and to judge the case. Praise God. And a day was appointed for that man to handle the case. That's why he's called the this man. Hallelujah. So, Job said, neither is there this man betwixt us. Who is the this man? Now, this is God. Can you please stand behind? Thank you. This is God. This is Job. How can we have someone who understands the God nature and the human nature? Let's say you have a case with an ant. An ant. The ant has bitten you. You have a case with an ant. And you enter into the court with an ant. It's useless. You can't plead it. The ant cannot plead any case against you. Because you are in two different realms. Is it possible? It's not possible. So, we need someone who can understand the ant and someone who can understand man. We only need an ant man. Who has the ability to enter into the quantum realm? To partake of the life of the ant and come to the physical realm to partake of the life of man. So, he understands the idiosyncrasies of what it means to be an ant and understands the godhood of God or the manhood of man. Because he understands both and because he has partaken of both natures, he qualifies to render an unbiased verdict between the two parties. That is what Job was calling for. That's why he says one among a thousand. Now, the word thousand is for infinity. That means it will never be possible. So, the coming of Jesus Christ was a fulfillment of Job's dream. Man's ancient quest for this man, for an empire, for a go-between, for a mediator. There's one mediator between God and man, the man, Christ Jesus. Now, Jesus Christ came. You know, he came and he himself is God. He himself is God. Jesus is God. He said, before Abraham was, I am. Now, the Greek is ginomai. Before Abraham came into being, I am. Jesus is the I am. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. He is the very God of very God. Jesus is God. Hallelujah. He is Jehovah. He is Yahweh. He is Elohim. At the same time, he's the son of Mary. He's the son of the carpenter. For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same that through death. So, he partook of our nature. He took not on him the nature of angels, but of the seed of Abraham, that in all things he will be a merciful and a faithful high priest in things pertaining to God. So, he just came as a man, partook of flesh and blood, and the way it became flesh and dwelt among us and will be held his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. At the same time, he himself is God, for by him were all things created, visible and invisible, that are in heaven and that are on earth. Hallelujah. Whether there be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created by him and for him. For he is before all things and by him all things consist. And without him was not anything made that was made. Oh, he came to his own. The Greek says he came to his own things. And his own people received him not. He came to his own creation. So, blessed be God, Jesus Christ. Listen, he can lay his hands on both God and man because he himself is God. He himself is man. He is the God-man. He is God's perfect man and man's perfect God. Praise God. And he can judge between them. If there be an interpreter. So, he understands the God language. He understands the man's language. He understands both languages. He is a divine interpreter. He can interpret God to man in a way man can understand in human terms. That's Jesus Christ. He is a day's man. Praise God. Listen, I told you that day's man, do you know that the word day in Greek is the same word as judgment? 1 Corinthians 4.3 Man's day is man's judgment. Day and judgment are the same words. Day is the word for judgment. 1 Corinthians 4.3 Now, in those days, I told you that the day's man, he is called day's man because there was a day that was appointed for the settling of disputes. between two people. So when Jesus came as the day's man, partaking of the divine nature and man's nature. There was a day he settled the dispute between God and man. What was that day? When was that day? The cross. The cross was a day the day's man settled the dispute between God and man. The fact that he died as man means that in the court, man was guilty. Man was at fault. But you see, you know what he did? He took the place of the guilty and died in place of the guilty so that man can be reconciled to God. So the day's man appointed a day and that day was a day of judgment. He drew all judgment onto himself. He took our condemnation. He took our judgment. He's the day's man. Hallelujah. Give him the praise and the glory. So Jesus is our day's man. God bless you for being a man. God bless you for being God. God bless you for being God-man. Thank you very much. Thank you. If there be an interpreter with him, so who is the interpreter? He's the day's man. He's the empire, the go-between, the mediator. I hope you understand. If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, so, you know, they could see that Elihu, one among a thousand, one among a thousand, that means you can't find him. He may never be found. An interpreter. And I like the expression "one among a thousand." You know, Solomon had a revelation of Jesus Christ. In the book of Ecclesiastes, he said, "Searching out one by one to find out the accounts, a woman have I not found, but one among a thousand have I found." That's Jesus Christ. Solomon had a revelation about Jesus Christ in the book of Songs of Solomon. Song of Songs. The Canticle of Canticles. Yeah. The most romantic book. The most romantic book in the whole Bible. Speaking of you and Christ in romance. How to divine, romance the divine. How to romance the divine. He says he calls Jesus the fairest among ten thousand. That means he's the most beautiful among ten thousand. The fairest amid the fair, the brightest amid the bright, the prince of light, the prince of life, the quintessence of all light. Hallelujah. Peerless in beauty, matchless. In glory, Jesus. One among a thousand, he said to show, to show unto man his uprightness. Now, what is he going to interpret? What is the work of the interpreter here? Now, whose uprightness? Now, when you read King James, you may think he's talking about man's uprightness. But he's not talking about your uprightness. He's talking about God's uprightness. Because in the Hebrew, the word "H" is in capital. It's capitalized. You see, and King James didn't bring it out. But you can see it clearly in the New King James Version. Look at the New King James Version. New King James Version. You see, the New King James Version is to show unto man his, his capital H. So the interpreter is coming to show unto man how upright God is. Because God is always, man is always blaming God. To show unto man God's uprightness. And the word uprightness, the Hebrew is yosha. It means rectitude. It means, it's a word for rightness, rightness. From yosha, we get the word yasha, the word for prosperity or enlargement. To show, to show how right God is, the rightness of God. His equity. His rightness. Right. Right. Hallelujah. Now who is speaking? His name is Elihu. Now Job had friends. Four friends. When God came, God showed, manifested his head. The three of them, they didn't speak what is right. That means the last one spoke what is right. But he's saying that man has misinterpreted God. Now do you know man has misinterpreted God? Misinterpreted what? Misinterpreted what? Misinterpreted what? Misinterpreted what? What? What? What? What? What? What? Misinterpreted God. Today, the insurance companies call whenever there is flood, whenever there is natural disasters and calamities like hurricanes and tsunamis, you know how they call it? They call it the act of God. Let something bad happen and turn to CNN or BBC, they call it the act of God. Let there be a flood or natural disasters, they call it the act of God. It is God who is causing it. It is not. That was the same problem in the days of Job. They were interpreting that it is God who was causing Job's problems. You see, everyone was saying it was God. God is the source of Job's problems. Elihu said, "Ah, how we need a go-between to interpret God properly to man. That God is not the source of man's problems. To show us the rightness of God. How right God is." Hallelujah. Now, Job's reference to God is not the source of man's problems. It is God's rightness. Job's reference, the first was called Eliphaz. Eliphaz. When you study the book of Job, let me give you a little clue. Eliphaz argues according to experience. He argues by experience. The second one is called Bildad. Bildad argues by tradition. The third one is called Zophar. Zophar argues according to legality. According to legality, he's a lawyer. These were the friends. Okay, so Eliphaz, he said a lot of things. But his argument was based on experience. His argument was based on experience. You know why? He was old. But he told Job that with us are the gray-headed and older men much elder than thy father. He was older than Job's father. But he was Job's friend. Job was wise. He was Job's friend. Whoever perished being innocent. Search it for me. Who perished being innocent? Perished being innocent. It's verse 7. Yeah. So it says, remember I pray thee, whoever perished being innocent. Now, Elihu is speaking of where were the righteous cut off. Now, verse 8. Even as I have seen, did that plow iniquity and sow wickedness, reap the same. He says, me, I've been old enough. I have seen that. I've seen, I'm old, that those who sow iniquity, they grow up and they reap iniquity. So Job, what we're experiencing, you are reaping what you have sown. So he's telling Job that there's something he has done. I'm older than you. So he is arguing based on experience. Experience. He said, whoever perished being innocent. You know his idea? He says that when you're innocent, you never get into trouble. But it's not true. In Christianity, the more godly you are, the more you suffer persecution. Yeah. If they that live godly in Christ Jesus, the Bible says they shall suffer persecution. Now, people misrepresent you because you are saying the truth. Because you are living well. Aha. Some people go like, I realize that experience doesn't give wisdom. Experience is supposed to give wisdom, but it doesn't. So Elihu even said, Days shall speak and multitude of years shall teach wisdom. But there is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty that giveth him. Some people are old, but they are actually not wise. Last week, someone was speaking to me and said that a woman was advising her. She is in her early 30s. The one advising her is in her 70s. And she was telling her, a very wonderful motherly figure whom I respect, telling her that because she's not married, she should try and find someone who can just impregnate her. Aha. And because she's growing, because she's in her early 30s, at least, get someone to, that's human wisdom. That's not God's wisdom. So, I was so surprised because this person is always in church. And has been in church many years. Counts more than 40 years. Church, church, church. By giving this wisdom, it's not wisdom. It's not wisdom. Ha, ha, ha. So wisdom comes from God's word. You can't say wisdom comes from experience. It's from God's word. Praise God. Behold, that argues by tradition. Job 8, let's see verse 8. For I inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers. Now, when you continue reading, he will say that if Job had studied the precedence set by the fathers, he wouldn't have entered into sin. That's what he was saying. So he's arguing that the fathers had laid some principles for us to follow, but Job didn't follow the fathers. So he argues by tradition. Then the next one, Zophar, argues by the law. By the law. That's on chapter 11 from verse 13 going. If you do this, this is what will happen to you. If you don't do this, this will not happen. This will not happen to you. And all of that. Hallelujah. So, I mean, you have to enjoy the book of Job. You can enjoy it. So they are from beautiful perspective. So Elhu realized that Job's three friends, who were the wisest of the day, couldn't interpret God. They misrepresented God. So he says, ah, it dare be an interpreter. We need a real interpreter to come and actually interpret who God is. To show unto man. God's uprightness. How upright, how right God is. I'm telling you, Jesus came as that perfect interpreter. I'm telling you, people are always, even today, people are always misrepresenting God. Sometimes the things you go through, you blame God for causing it, true or false. Yeah. If your leg hit a stone, you say, God, why? He said, you shall give your angels charge over me, and my foot will not dash against the stone. You shall not be able to take my foot. He's the true and the faithful witness. That means he came to witness the Father so much that if you saw Jesus, you see he's the Father. So Philip said, show us the Father and it will be sufficient with us. Jesus said, ah, why are you asking of the Father? Have I been so long time with you and you have not known me? He that has seen me has seen the Father. Why sayest thou then, show us the Father? He came to interpret God. So we know who God is by the life of Jesus. He healed everyone. Jesus never made anyone sick. So the Father never makes anyone sick. Jesus healed every sick person that came to him. So the Father heals everyone. If a leper came to Jesus, Jesus could have said, be healed. Jesus didn't do that. Jesus touched the leper. What kind of love is this? You know, when you were a leper, you were quarantined. You were a social misfit. You were quarantined. So you've not had social warmth, never felt family love for a long time. So emotionally, it begins to affect you. Because you've not had your children touching you for years. Your wife touching you for years. You were in a separate house for a long time. So when he cried for Jesus to heal him, Jesus felt beyond physical healing, he needed emotional healing. So Jesus could have said, be healed. But no, Jesus touched him. He felt the warmth of his love. That's how the Father is. Someone caught in adultery in the very act. It was a set up. Jesus didn't condemn him. It's Jesus. Whatever you see, Jesus is the exact image of the Father. He came to represent the Father to us. Hallelujah. So he says, if there be a messenger with him, an interpreter to show unto man capital H, God's uprightness. The next verse. Then he is gracious unto him, and saying, deliver him from going down to the pit. The next verse. His flesh shall be fresher than a child's. Now in these verses, there are seven food blessings that Elihu mentions. Okay. Seven food blessings Elihu mentions. Which God bestows upon us. When, so he wanted us to understand and have repentance. Repentance means change of mind. Meta noia. Change meta. Noia of mind concerning God. Repentance towards God. Because it is God who loves us. And he now prophesies the provisions God was bringing unto us. And they are seven food blessings. Let's start again. And let's go back. Verse 24. The first is grace. The first blessing is the blessing of grace. And say it. The second blessing is deliverance. There is deliverance. Because the guy was going to die. That still have the imagery of the guy who was so sick. Whose bones take out. Okay. That means, now. What is faith? Faith is having a good opinion of God. Now something is changing. He doesn't perish. He's not destroyed again. So the first is grace. The second is deliverance. The third, I have found a ransom. This word ransom is the same word for atonement. Kafar. I have found an atonement. So the first is the blessing of grace. Deliverance. Then atonement. The next verse. Divine health. Divine health. Divine health. Renewal of youth. Renewal of youth. That's the fifth blessing. Unsaid praise. Unsaid praise. And he shall see his face with joy. Intimacy with God. Intimacy with God. Now look at it. Now what is the reason God was going to give this seven-foot blessing? It says, For he will render unto man his righteousness. The word for man is because he is going to render unto man his righteousness. The reason for the seven-foot blessing God was going to confer upon man was because. For. He will render unto man his righteousness. So all of these are the blessings that come from what? Righteousness. Hallelujah. Now I want you to see something. His righteousness. Now, what is the word his here? His righteousness. In the Hebrew, the word itch is capital. It's capital. His. So see the New King James Version. For he restores to man. Look at it. His righteousness. Righteousness. So what does it mean? God is so good. So upright that he was going to restore to man God's own righteousness. Please come. Do you understand? This is man. God was going to take his righteousness and give it to him. It's big. If I take my righteousness and give it to you, it means you are as righteous as me. It means you are as righteous as me. It means whatever I deserve, you also deserve, it's now yours. So he will give unto man his, he will restore unto man his righteousness. But look at this word restore. Why is he going to restore unto man his righteousness? At the end of the day, man didn't even have God's righteousness. In Eden, what man had was Adam's righteousness. Yeah. What we had was Adam's righteousness. Before the fall, Adam's innocence, Adam's righteousness. But what God is restoring to us is not Adam's righteousness. You see, what we had formerly was Adam's righteousness. Do you understand that? Adam. Whatever happened to Adam happened to us. What Adam sinned, we had sinned. We're not born. So Adam's standard was our standard. But because Jesus died, whatever God restores, he restores greater. That is why in Romans chapter five, we see the word much more, much more, much more. More is gained than lost. More is gained through the fall than what was lost in the fall. So right now, although we fail, God is restoring to us his own righteousness. Praise God. So now if you believe in Jesus Christ, God takes his righteousness. Like a garment and gives to you. So he gives you his own righteousness. Now, what does he give you? The moment you have his righteousness, all the seven foot blessing mentioned follows you. Let's go back.
Speaker 4For he restores
Speaker 1to man his righteousness. For the reason for the seven blessings is because he restores unto man. His righteousness. So when you are the righteousness of God, it's the greatest blessing. That means God has put you into his class. God sees you as himself. Yeah. Every time, God sees you as him. What a gift. Praise God. That means you are as qualified as Christ. Because Jesus Christ is your qualification. Praise God. He restores unto man. Now, let's go back again. You can place it down for me. Thank you. Let's go back again. Now, a verse before. Now, I want you to claim all of these blessings. So, seven foot blessings and righteousness. The first is grace. Grace. Grace is favor you don't deserve. Favor. God's favor comes upon us. I know if I'm in this ministry, you should understand grace. Praise God. Faith that. To say you are the righteousness of God means the grace of God follows you everywhere you go. Grace. Deliverance. Yeah. Deliverance is ours. God delivers us from destruction. Deliverance. Deliverance is Jesus has purchased your deliverance. Your deliverance is blood bought. So, whether you sit in a car, whether you sit in a plane, you are delivered. Sleep soundly. Say thank you for your blood. You have purchased it for me. Don't beg God. Don't plead for protection. It's already part of your package. As long as you are the righteousness of God, it's part of your package. Praise God. Yeah. Don't be afraid. Even if armed robbers are shooting all around. Say, Lord, I'm your righteousness. Thank you for protection. And I'm telling you, you'll be exempted. People are dying all around. You'll be exempted. The first one, the third one is ransom. You will find a ransom. Atonement. Atonement. You know, in Israel, they had a yearly atonement. The moment the high priest enters in and is accepted, they are happy. They live the whole year happy because, look, the whole year, they don't live with sin consciousness. Even if they sin, they know they are forgiven. And the whole year, they look forward to increase and abundance. They know when they go for battle, they win. And they know they have family increase. All is because of the yearly ransom. It's happened every year. We don't have a yearly ransom. We have eternal ransom. Praise God. So, look forward for peace. Look forward, looking for peace in your family, for good will. Hallelujah. You have found a ransom. The word is kafar, atonement. The next one, his flesh shabby. This version says, young like a child. King James says, fresher. That is health. So that means that a guy who was even dying, if he knows that God has restored his righteousness to him, this is what shall happen to him. Now, these things I'm saying are very practical. Very practical. When you say, Jesus is my righteousness, healing comes. Let me share a testimony. Something happened to me last Tuesday. Last Tuesday, I went to town, came back home, and in the evening, I drank something. Not only what I drank was spoiled. Yes, it was orange juice. That's what it was spoiled. Very bitter. I was so hungry, I drank, I had lit on. So, everything went into me. So, that thing is acidic, it's poisonous. That's entered into me. So, I didn't realize it. So, I slept. Six, I woke up. I was there. Around getting to 6 a.m., I started having food poisoning. It was food poisoning. I haven't had that before. I started having pain. When the thing is moving through your stomach, the movement is like hell. I've not entered into labor work before, but the thing moves. No, you can't sit. You don't know whether to sit or stand. When you lie, the thing was moving through. I felt like crying. I felt like crying. It was difficult. Then I was thinking, because food poisoning sometimes takes a week to heal. You know that. So, immediately I was thinking, I can't come for this meeting. No, I said, I have to. The thought that came to my mind is that I have to call Bishop to cancel this meeting. I have to cancel, because I knew that I have to cancel my meetings, because it can take a week. So, a lot of thoughts was running through my head. So, I was down on the floor. In the pain, I said, no. I stood up. I started walking up and down. Declaring my righteousness in Christ. Now, I declared my righteousness in Christ. Commanded it to go. I did it for about three minutes. After declaring my righteousness, commanded it to go, the pain intensified. Look, it was almost like the thing doesn't work. The pain, I declared my righteousness, but the pain intensified. So, did I do something right? After declaring my righteousness, the pain was too much. I had to sit down again. It was time for my children to go to school, so we had to go and take communion. So, I managed to stand up and I walked downstairs. Bless the communion. You know what was happening to me. Bless the communion, took it, declared my health, everything. When I walked up, after taking the communion, the trouble intensified. The trouble intensified. Have you experienced that before? The pain intensified. Okay. So, I went inside. I could feel the pain. So, at the time, I held the hand of my wife and tears were coming out of my eyes because I could feel tears were coming out of my eyes. So, I sat down. I started smiling. Can you just repeat that now? I'm smiling. I lifted up my hands and said, I am the righteousness of God in Christ. I started blessing God. Now, I started blessing God in the midst of the pain. Because I know that, I know by the word of God that when you are believing, God, and the trouble increases, it means that your deliverance is close. No, I know that from God's word. Look at the Israelites. When they were about to leave Egypt, Pharaoh increased their troubles. Because the devil knows your deliverance is coming, he magnifies it. So, your faith would dry out. So, I know the science. So, in the midst of the pain, this is where some people stop and they say like, they go like, God's word doesn't work. This faith, faith, guys, it's not true. If you do it, Christ doesn't, no, they didn't persist in the word. They didn't hold on to the word. So, I was on the couch and I was just thanking God. Father, thank you for, I'm the righteousness of God in Christ. I'm the righteousness of God. Thank you, I am the righteousness. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. As I'm thanking God, pa, the poison came out. The thing came out. Instant. The thing dropped. Instant. And like a snap of the finger, I'm all right. Ah. I'm all right. No. Pastor Mark also came just after that. We had the meeting now for the rest of the day. If I had not told him, he wouldn't have believed. No, it was like a snap. Instant healing. I have normally experienced progressive confessing the word. Ah-ha. Sometimes it's progressive, but sometimes it's also instant. But this time it's, ah. Because 10 years ago, the food poisoning I had gave me a picture of the present. So, the devil was telling my mind that, Charlie, you have a week to recover. This meeting, you cannot come. A lot of images were popping in my head. You cannot come. But I know that God's word cannot lie. So, you know why I stood up? I know that if you say you are healed, you can't be lying down and say you are healed. I know that faith without works is dead. So, I can say I'm healed, I'm healed, I'm healed, and I may lie down and never come to preach here. So, you know how I stood up in a lot of pain? Because I know if I'm healed, I must act as, I must do what healed people do. I know if I am healed, I must do what healed people do. So, I started moving up and down. That's why I started declaring, and I think it was increasing. But I didn't give up. I'm thanking God for my righteousness.
Speaker 4Pah! It was gone. Gone. Gone. I called my wife. I said, "It's gone. It's gone." Oh my.
Speaker 1It's gone. So, I want you to know that this is very practical. of who you are in Christ. It's not by feeling. It's by what the word says. See, I am the righteousness of God in Christ. Yeah, it's not by feeling. It's gone. It's gone. Yeah, it's gone. It's not that it was going. It was gone. Fully fine. Continuing my ministry. It was gone. It's the word of God. Yeah. If I had gone to the hospital, I would have been admitted. Maybe I couldn't have come here. But the word works. The word works. Yeah. He says because he restores unto man God's righteousness. All the blessing of God is in righteousness. I'm saying these things because there are some things. Because I know that if you have been following Life Economy Podcast and been listening, this message will be easier. But if not, it will be harder. Because we are building upon. Praise God. Because I know you should understand righteousness in Christ and live by it. Hallelujah. Do you know you can be. 60 and you look like 40? Yeah. Yeah. Yesterday, I was talking to someone in UK. And I said, oh, next month, I'm going to celebrate my 30 years of serving the Lord. I said, oh, Apostle, you look like 30. And you are celebrating 30. So how old are you? I said, oh, I'm a young man. Praise God. You can be like Sarah when she was 60. 65 or something, and when she was 90, They desired her to be one of the king's wives at 90. They were not seeing her spiritually. They were not spiritual guys. She was beautiful. So you can be 50 and you look like 30. All by the concept of righteousness. Praise God. The next verse. Or the previous verse. Sorry. The next verse. It says that 26. He shall pray unto God and he shall be favorable unto him. Now, you pray with righteousness consciousness. Whenever you are praying, if you pray in the name of Jesus, that's all. You know why you pray in the name of Jesus? You are saying that, Father, as I'm praying, the answer to this prayer is not based on my merits. It's based on the merits of Jesus Christ and who he is. So it is in his name. To pray in his name is to pray in his person. It's as though Jesus Christ himself is praying. But we don't believe it. God answers our prayers. Believe it. That is why instead of petition, you do repetition. Instead of petition, you do repetition. People repeat their prayers often. God, do this for me. Do this for me. Do it. Do it. The next day they go, do it. Do it. You have nullified your prayer. So people don't know how their prayers, how to have answered prayers. No. Years ago, I had a materialist say that if you ask God something seven times, you ask six times in doubt. I didn't understand what he said. This is not intercession, but the prayer of faith. When people ask God something and they don't see the evidence, they go and ask again and ask and ask and ask and they become frustrated. No. No. No. No. No. A big no. At best, thank God and claim what he has for you. Even if you are frustrated, you can remind him based on his word. But don't go begging, begging, begging. God doesn't want you begging, begging, begging, begging, begging. Because you have authority. God sees you as his son. Yeah. You have the same right. Do you know that whenever you approach God, he sees your face with joy? Every time you. God. Joy. Every time. Every time. Every time God sees your face with joy. Whether you failed or you have not failed, he sees your face with joy. You know what I'm saying? Even when you have failed, God sees your face with joy. God doesn't see you in your failure. No. No. Before God, we are blameless. I didn't say we are sinless. We are blameless. Yeah. Because he sees us in Christ. You know, the tabernacle of Moses was wood, but it was covered with gold. So you don't see the wood. What you see is the gold. God doesn't see the wood. He sees the gold. Because we are hidden in Christ. He sees Christ's perfection. Praise God. Yeah. And we go in the aroma of Christ. When the high priest is going to the holiest of holies, he goes in a smoke. He goes in the smoke, in the incense. All the incense was symbolic. The spices, the stacte, the galbanum, and the onycha. They represent Christ. So when he stands before the Father, the Father smells, ah, his presence reminds God of his son. The high priest, because of the. That is why when someone has used a certain kind of perfume for a long time, the person was a roommate. And after a while, you meet someone who, who uses that perfume. There's a remembrance. True. One day I was walking at the airport. I passed by a lady. And the lady said, the lady passed by me and stopped and came back to me and said, that perfume, that perfume, that, like that, that perfume, that perfume, that perfume, like that, ah, that perfume, and walked away. I was so surprised. Reminded her of something that is amazing. I mean, the same way when you approach the Father. The Father says, that perfume, my son, that perfume, that perfume, that perfume, that perfume, that perfume. So the Bible says, we are unto God a sweet aroma of Christ. A sweet perfume of Christ. We are unto God a sweet perfume, the perfume of Christ. So whenever you go, every time, whether you have failed or you have not failed, it's independent of your works. So, so if you have failed, what will you do? You won't go. You see, we have not been taught right. The Bible calls that place a new and a living way. The more you go, the more you live. It is presence. That's where deliverance is. Yeah. But God doesn't see you in your sins. He sees you in Christ. That doesn't mean there's no sin in the flesh, but he doesn't see sin on you. Praise God. Say, I am the righteousness of God. I am the righteousness of God in Christ and Jesus is our this man. He's the divine interpreter. Yeah. And he's at this one that that day he solved man's problem. The judgment was passed on that day. Man was guilty, but he took our guilt. Now we are, we are without guilt before the father. He's taken our place. Hallelujah. Praise God. Now I want you to stand up and you're going to pray the seven blessings and declare that it is yours in the name of Jesus. The seven blessings. You are declaring that grace is yours. Favour. Wherever you go, favour is yours. You are declaring that deliverance is yours. You are delivered from every kind of destruction, every kind of harm.
