Praise the Lord. Glory. Hallelujah. Glory. We thank God for what Christ has done for us. Jesus Christ, the Son of God. What can we say about him? I want to tell you about him. I love the Master. Today I want you to understand resurrection in a new light that will make you appreciate Christ Jesus.

In the Bible, he was not the first one to be resurrected. There are people that died and were resurrected, but he was the first and the only one to come out by himself. Unlike Lazarus that Christ Jesus negotiated with the gatekeepers of the realms of death. And when he said, "Lazarus, come forth," it was after the negotiations were successfully done. The Bible tells us that he wept and then he sighed or groaned. The groaning that he did was actually a language. He was communicating with beings that keep the gates of death so they can be able to open the gates for him that he will call forth. The Bible teaches us that speaking or language is not only expressed with articulate speech. The Bible tells us that even the moving of lips, there is language there. Even the groaning, there is language there. They shout. There is a language there. The people of Israel used the shout to speak the language that stones understand and the walls came down. Moses spoke to the rock and the waters came out. You may think he was speaking a common language. He was not speaking in English. He was speaking the language that rocks understand and the revelation of that language was given to him by God because there is a language that fish understands. That's why when the Master, when he went to ask for the boat from which he can preach, at the end of the preaching, he told professional fishermen that had been practicing fishing for years, they were so experienced. And he said to them, "Take your net and cast it this side." And Peter stood there. And he was limited to the understanding of the language of the fish. He knew that if you stand during the day and you cast your shadow over the waters, the fish can see the shadow and run away. That's why they used to fish at night where you do not have the shadow. And that's why he said, "I have toiled all night. I have come to do fishing at the best time for fishing. I understand that language. Therefore, there can't be any fish here." Christ Jesus, who created fish, wanted to show Peter. There is something I know you don't know about my creation. When I was preaching here, there was a sound I will make. There was a click I will make. You thought it was part of preaching. While I'm talking to you, I was calling my fish and now they have gathered. I know they are on this side. Put your net there and prove me wrong. Peter went to his people. He said, "I don't believe this preacher. Take the that that net that is ready to break. It's so old. You cannot bring the best net that we just washed after the whole night because sometimes preachers will direct you to do what does not make sense." Not that it doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense to you because you don't know everything. In fact, in every area where you are ignorant, instructions there will not make sense. And they don't only come from preachers. There are people that are experts. They can tell you to do something. It doesn't make sense to you because you are not an expert in that area. But obedience becomes your defense. So Peter told his people, he said, "Get the that those nets that we had not washed." It was him thinking. He was thinking evil towards the Master who was about to make him rich through fish. So they brought the west net that was ready to break and it caught so much and the net broke and he lost some of the fish, he recovered some. That's why after they drew them to the coast, he goes to the Master and then he bows. He says, "Go away from me. I am a sinner. I thought evil towards you. I didn't know you meant well for me." And he found that the Master had seen something in him. He said, "Don't worry, today from today. I'm going to train you how to fish for people because some people are big fish and others are medium, others are small fish. I'm going after big fish this year." So there is a language that the Master understands, the Lord Jesus the Christ. So when he was raising Lazarus, it's a language he spoke at the gates of death and the keepers, they understood what he was negotiating. So the resurrection of Lazarus, it came from external force applied. But the resurrection of Jesus was unique. For you to understand its uniqueness, I want to start two days, three days before and help you appreciate the resurrection of Jesus. After you understand what he had to face, we will start.

First of all, I want you to understand when I talk about Israel, the land Israel, I have the correct picture because I was there. I was there. So I understand the terrain. I understand the terrain, the landscapes. Jesus was based in Galilee, which is in the north, and he had to travel south towards Jerusalem, about 120 to 140 kilometers. 140 kilometers because they walked during that time. It took them days, weeks, a week it will take him walking. But because he used to walk and preach as he goes, it could take even longer. This time he leaves Galilee knowing very well that he's going to die in Jerusalem. So he came as he normally did, moving south parallel the Jordan Valley. He comes through Jericho and then he starts climbing the Judean mountain, made of limestone that has got caves all over the place, and he rises up and then he gets into a place called Bethany. That's where I want to start about his journey to the cross, and then from the cross to the grave, from the grave to hell itself, back into the tomb, and then he ascended on high. And today we still preach he lives. He lives. Believes and his spirit lives in us to prove him that he lives amongst us.

The first thing I want you to understand was this. In Romans 5:3, the Bible says, "By one man, sin entered the world." By one man, sin entered the world. So if it entered the world, it was outside it. Verse 12, it was outside it. So sin entered the by one man into the world. So at that time, sin was outside the world of man. The picture that I want you to have is this. It will be like you stay in a gated community and you have got all supplies inside that gated community. Outside that community, there are so many things that are happening. You are innocent to those things. They are outside your system of existence. But they do exist. But you are outside the system of their existence. You have your own system. In this system, all you know is the goodness of people. It's people who are honest. It's people who tell the truth. It's people that deal with others with respect. But you may not know that outside that gated community, it's a world full of sin and wrongdoing. And for a time being, what is outside is seeking to enter in. It will be like being in a boarding school, highly disciplined boarding school. And there are certain things in that boarding school that you do not know until you think that there is nothing else happening outside. Even though there are many things that are outside happening, but the nature of sin and wrongdoing is it must spread and affect everything that is good. That is the law of sin. Sin doesn't want to leave anything good that exists outside its system. So if you find a church and there is order in the church, sin will always look to plant someone who can dis, who can sow disorder. If you find a very disciplined boarding school, you can be sure that in the registration lines, there is a girl, there is a boy who's on a mission to defile the whole school. In every perfect system, there is something that wants to enter and corrupt it. Let us get out of Adam's world and go out of Adam, outside Adam's system of existence. We find God and he has created beings and he has made classes of angels. He gave them abilities and responsibilities. Among them, one of them, highly privileged, was discontent with what he had. And he led a rebellion. And he was able to convince some to side with him. And when he sided with them, he was disqualified from the position and privileges he was given. And he was thrown out of the system of holiness and righteousness and order. And where he existed, he was on parole conditions when God made Adam. He made him in a perfect system. And he wanted to tell him that it may be perfect where you are, but it's not perfect everywhere. That's why when he started, he said, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." And the Bible lifts the heavens there and follows the earth and says, "And the earth was without form," and because something had happened and God was aware of it. That's why when he took Adam and put him in the garden, he said to him, "I'm giving you this garden. There are few things I want to give you as a clue. Because you see when you live in a perfect world, you can forget that they are mean and rude people. It's like when you are used to order and for a while when we come to church, you put your bag, you put your phone, and you always get them. When that happens year after year, you get to a place where you are so relaxed because you know this place, I can leave my phone, I can leave." What you don't know is that the system can get something entering because the enemy is always looking to defile perfect systems. So that's why God was telling Adam in the beginning. So you're going to have to be quick, technical team, because I will quote some and then you must get those scriptures quickly. Glory to God. That's why God said to him in Genesis chapter 2, says he put him in the garden and said, "Keep it. Dress it." There are two words used there. He says, "Keep it." That word "keep" means shama. It means preserve it from harm. It means protect it from harm. So I must get that scripture. Glory. Keep it. The people of will help me. They know the Bible. The ones in Kuruman are still learning the Bible. In Genesis 2:15, the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden and said, "Keep it. Dress it." To dress it means get the best out of it. To keep it means to preserve it. There is the clue. The clue there is this. Keep it from who? Preserve it from who? Is somebody looking for what I have? And the next clue was given to him through the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which was in the midst of the garden. That tree, it was a tree of knowledge. It was a tree that brings knowledge. The knowledge, it's of good and evil. There, Adam was supposed to ask himself, if I am to keep, if there is evil. Can you put that verse quickly? Can you put the verse quickly? The tree of the knowledge of good and evil that you, it's your responsibility to know your Bible. Glory. 2:9. But the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, "You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die." In Genesis chapter 2, verse 9, "And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." The tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Evil from where? It was to give him a clue. There are two clues here. In fact, there is three because the earth is without form before he arrives. Number two, there is a tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The evil. Number three, we must keep it. Keep it from what? There is something seeking to enter in and defile it. He did not take heed. Maybe it was the excitement. Sometimes people get so excited they forget to ask important questions. It's like when people receive prophecy, sometimes they miss important details. They are so excited and they don't ask important details such as, "What is it that I must do to to make this to come to pass? What must I avoid so that this is not aborted?" So you will find that there are people out of excitement, they don't ask the questions. But out of Adam's system, there was sin seeking to enter in, and this sin, when it enters in, it's going to attack and defile the world of man. So Romans 5:12 says, "By one man, sin entered into the world." One man, sin can enter through one man. It can enter a a perfect family through one man. And other things enter by sin. So sin was the first one to enter, and death came by sin, and Lucifer also entered. Lucifer, demons also entered. Diseases also entered. They did exist but outside the perfect system of Adam. And they were looking to come in. Let me take a sidewalk. You know, you may come from a perfect family. You may be doing well, but don't relax. There are things seeking to enter. You may have a good marriage. Don't relax. There are things seeking to enter. You may have a good business, it's doing well. There is somebody who can come in and scatter. One man, one man. It doesn't take thousands. Just one man. One man can introduce high blood in the family that didn't have high blood. One man can introduce diabetes to the family that that didn't have diabetes. It takes one man. So wherever you are, if for now you have a perfect system, don't relax because the enemy is not satisfied until he enters. Yes, Lord Jesus. That's why even if you are a young lady, a young man, and you are a virgin, and you don't tell people because your virginity has light associated with it, it sends a certain signal. Even though you didn't speak to anybody, you can be sure that wherever you go, there is someone seeking to enter into your system and introduce defilement. There's always something trying to come in into something that is perfect. If you find brothers and sisters that are living in peace and they have great understanding, you can be sure that one of them can unsettle the whole peace by marrying a wrong woman or marrying a wrong man. One man can enter into a very good family and scatter everything because evil is not satisfied until it enters. And when it enters, it works everywhere where it's perfect. We are the church of Jesus Christ. We are not ignorant of these things. We know that as we celebrate the year of rewards, as we celebrate the acceptable year of the Lord, as we celebrate the year of glory, we do not relax knowing that the enemy is always seeking to enter that he may stop what God is doing. That is his nature. So when you are doing well, don't let go of alertness and vigilance. He's always looking to come on in. That's what the Lord said, Adam, I'm giving you the garden. Dress it. Keep it. Preserve it. Keep it. There is evil not in the garden, outside. There is knowledge of good and evil which I don't want you to know by experience. I want to teach you what evil is. You know, you can learn that water is hot by experience or you can be taught that to see that it's hot. You will see gas coming out. You can touch this. You are allowed. But don't put your hand. So you can know by learning. He didn't hear me. You can know by learning. There are people who say you have to experience it to know it. Lies. It's not everything that you must know by experiencing it because some of them, when you experience, they are repercussions. are consequences and some of them are fatal and very dangerous. So we are allowed to learn by sitting down. In the book of Proverbs, the Bible says, "I went by the field of the slothful man. When I got to the field of the slothful man, I saw that the walls were broken. I saw that the field was outgrown with thorns. Now you are preaching with me. That's good. It was all grown over with thorns and nettles had covered the face thereof and the stone wall thereof was broken down." He says, "I went by the field of the sloth." Even though I didn't meet the man, I knew that the owner was slothful. He says, "He didn't have to tell me that he was slothful. I went to his field. I looked at it and he says, 'I considered it well and I received instruction.'" Those are the next verses. "I considered it well and I received instruction." He says, "By looking at some people, you don't have to experience what they experience. They just go into the field of their life and you look at them and you consider very well. You look upon it. You receive instruction." Here's the instruction you received in the following verses. "A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep. So shall your poverty come as one that travels and your want as an armed man." He understood why that man was poor. That man never told him why he was poor. He went to his field and saw. And by seeing, he received instruction. Children of God, there are certain instructions associated with considering and seeing. Oh, do you get it? What Adam was supposed to do? The tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He didn't have to eat it. You are supposed to go to it and look at it and consider it and receive instruction. He will know what evil is. He will know how dangerous evil is without himself experiencing evil. Thank you Jesus. That is one way to learn. Young people. You will hear people that are have dark minds say, "Well, before you get married, you must test because how will you know?" How did the first man know? Yes, it all lies. You are being set up so that you have got bad memories which you will carry into a place of peace and be tormented by the bad memories. That's the enemy. He he he works like that. He deceives. It's deception. The Bible says the Holy Ghost, when he comes upon us, he will teach us all things. In Africans, Alice, Alice, all things with no exception. There are things he will teach you because you are an individual. Glory to God. So sin was looking to enter by one man, it entered and coming with it is death. Death was an enemy of God that existed outside the system of Adam. Death was not activated in the world of Adam and death existed outside. Because death is separation. The facilitator of the separation of Lucifer was called death. The facilitator of the separation of Lucifer and the angels was called death. That's why the Bible says in the book of Ezekiel 28, it says, "You know, they they by the multitudes of your merchandise they defiled." Who are they? Death included. Death included. Those are beings that were there. Some of them are older than Lucifer. Listen. So death enters, Satan enters, demons enter, disease enters. And Romans 5:12 says, "And death passed upon all men for that all have sinned." Now, who is enemy number one? Who is enemy number one? Who is enemy number one? Sin. Enemy number one is called sin. Sin. Somebody say sin. Because death enters by sin. Satan enters by sin. Disease enters by sin. Enemy number one is I'm here to expose sin. Jesus. You have heard about sin. Let me expose sin today. And and and if there is something that you have termed it. No, no. You have you have termed it. You have a new term for it. I'm here to unmask it. Enemy number one of humankind is sin. You will understand why even when people are going through a lot. As much as we want to understand, because now you know people have a lot of terms that are not even in the original language of God. Sometimes we can call it mental health. Mental health. I have mental health. Yes. Yeah. Mental health. I have mental health. And we're not making light of it because it has become reality. But if we are to solve the problem effectively, we must hear what God has to say about it. Sin has advanced and is camouflaged in new terms and new names. And it's destroying humankind while it's hiding by new terms. You know that devils have advanced. If they are able to get into the houses of rich men in the form of a statue, he has a statue in the living room. He bought it with a lot of money. When he bought it, it was not an idol according to him. When devils have advanced through time and are able to be accommodated by new terms, new languages, and are allowed into buildings where previously they will never enter, then you know that the devil is advancing too. And he continues in an institution. He continues in the building. He continues and he does what he does. Steal, kill, destroy. They brought a souvenir. They brought a souvenir or a statue. They bought it in the streets of Cairo. Say, "So beautiful." They brought it into their house. Suddenly they have certain diseases that they cannot explain. They have certain misunderstanding in their marriage that they cannot explain. Their kids are under oppression that they cannot explain. They didn't know that they brought sin as a souvenir and they call it souvenir. They went to Japan. They brought a souvenir of geisha, beautiful nightmares, thoughts of sexual immorality because if they were to investigate this thing, they will find out it's associated with the prostitution life of Japan. But it has come as a statue. When Satan advances and can hide behind wood. When sin advances and can hide behind terms, and then you cannot solve man's problem. I said this so you can understand. When Jesus came, the number one enemy was sin. He came to solve the problem of sin because the rest of the gang, they come through sin. That being said, let's understand therefore that the greatest enemy of Jesus was sin. The greatest enemy of Jesus was sin. So, I'm going to take you through different stations and show you how sin rose up against Jesus to stop him. Now, this is the point. Sin wanted to enter Jesus, not to be carried by Jesus. He bore, he carried. It's another thing too. He is entered by sea. Do you understand that? Those are two different things. The one who carries, he's interested. He's taking it where he wants. The one entered in is a sinner. Glory. Now, that understanding, I want you to put in Hebrews where we read at the beginning, chapter 13. "Looking unto Jesus who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Then he says, "For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds." Verse four, I will I will explain these verses. You will understand when you go home. "You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin." You need to. We're going to stay in verse three and verse four for this purpose. He says, "Consider him as you are running your race who endured, put up with contradiction of sinners against himself." That word contradiction is the word that means hostility, opposition. It's the word that means attack. So to say he he endured contradiction of sinners. He endured opposition of sinners. Attack of sinners. Hostility of sinners against himself. I'm going to show you the sinners on the path to the cross because on the way to the cross, when he started that journey from Bethany all the way to the cross, sin rose up and produced sinners. If Jesus did not defeat the sin that rose up in the sinners, he was not going to deliver us from sin. Grow. You know, I will start in Golgotha. I'll end in your house. Hallelujah. I hope I hope you will still like me. I want you to understand everywhere he's going to go now, Jesus is going to find sin that will rise up against him. The way Romans chapter 7 put it is like this. It says sin, to show that it is bad, it it became exceedingly sinful. Romans 7:3. I want you to see what sin does. Romans 7:13. Quickly, please. Romans 7:13. "Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin." I'm here to expose sin. That it may appear sin. Sin is able to hide and it can be covered by terms. But when Christ Jesus came, sin did not hide anymore. It rose up and it became sin. And the Bible says that sin by the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. Listen to the language. Sin by commandment. Sin by the appearance of Jesus became exceedingly sinful. It was sin hidden. Now it's exceedingly sinful. I want you to understand this. On the way to the cross, across different areas, Jesus went through the test of sin. When sin appeared sinful and became exceedingly sinful, the first one is in Bethany. In Bethany, according to Mark chapter 14, according to Matthew 26, Jesus is in the house of Simon the leper. He has come to the house of a man he has healed of leprosy. While he's sitting there, he's with his disciples. In a few days, he's going to go to the cross and his sin is away. I can't let him get to the cross. I have to enter into him. Before he carries me, before he's made a sin, I must make him to sin so he can be under me. I must enter his system. So the first one, the Bible says he was sitting in the house of Simon the leper and a woman came with an alabaster box of ointment. She broke it and anointed him. The Bible says the disciples and the people there, they were in indignation, anger. Thank you, Jesus. If you can keep up with me, I I want to preach this message. The Lord, the Lord will help me. There were some that had indignation within themselves. They had anger within themselves because somebody did Jesus something good. Yes, Jesus. Are you here? This woman, she anointed him. And in the mind of God, the anointing, it's in order to preserve his body so he does not see decay. Because the way he will die, it's a high Sabbath. And therefore they don't have time to bury to to apply spices and honey. He will be buried quick. Therefore, he needs perfume that can last longer and it will keep the flies away for 72 hours. She had the perfume that could remain with the fragrance for at least 72 hours, 3 days and three nights so that his body does not see decay. She had the revelation. There is not one man who can do good to a good man unless they have revelation. It's easy to do good to the poor because poverty sometimes is visible, but it takes revelation to minister to a man who may not be doing well and is crying and is in lack, but they will not know. His disciples, they were walking with him. He taught them mighty revelations. He even told them, "I'm going to be betrayed. I will die and rise up the third day." They still could not get the revelation. It took a woman with a mighty revelation and she started to gather money and she bought the best perfume, very expensive. She had a revelation that David had that you will not allow my body to see corruption. So she got the one that can suspend flies and maggots for at least 72 hours. 72 hours. It was what can kill a fly by just coming within 100m zone of that body. So she poured it. Goodness. The Bible says the disciples, they sin in them, it rose up as anger. So some anger is, yes, Lord Jesus. They are angry that somebody has done something good to Jesus. Let me tell you something. When you become angry when other people have gotten something good, you are a sinner or you are yielding to sin. You are allowing sin to rise up in you and it's manifesting as anger. It may hide behind indignation, but it is sin. Jesus is suffering and enduring the contradiction of sinners against himself. The first sinners in this case was Simon the leper, was the people in his house, and all his disciples. At this point, they are manifesting that sin can overcome them because he's going to the cross. So sin wants to stop him before he gets there. So it rises up in those that he encountered in Bethany. Only one person conquered it. The woman. Yes, Jesus. That woman, she had many thoughts to cause her not to deliver that oil. And it was sin at work. Sin can give you bad advice. These are the sinners. Let's leave this house. Because if you read the next verses, it was from this house that the Bible says Judas, he went to see the Pharisees after sin was raised up in him. He went immediately. He went to the chief priest and said, "You want him? Give me 30 pieces of silver." But when they were complaining, they said, "This should not have been wasted on the master. We we we could have given it to the poor." And Jesus says, "The poor you have always." Says, "Don't trouble the woman. Sin was troubling the woman. It was hidden behind indignation that it may appear sinful." You must understand what Jesus overcame so you can understand eternal life.

The next station is the upper room from Bethany. He said they must prepare a place for him in the upper room. There was a good man that they sent to him and say, "Go and prepare Passover for us in his house." When they were there, Jesus did something. You will find the story in John 13. They were sitting down. He took his garments and he poured water in the basin. He started to wash their feet. I want you to see when he's washing the feet of Judas. At this point, he has already sold him. If your brother, your sister sells you, you were sold by sin. It may hide behind the name greed. It is sin. So imagine washing his feet. He's washing the feet of Judas. He's washing these feet. Just yesterday they gathered dust. No, not they. The feet of Judas gathered dust from the houses of the chief priests where he went to sell the Lord. The Master is washing the same feet and you will think that he will speak like Peter. This is where you can tell the difference between Judas and Peter. With Judas, as the Master is washing his feet, the sin in him becomes exceedingly sinful. He feels, "I must get out of here and get rid of him quick." You didn't hear sin to show it's exceedingly sinful. You can do very good to a sinner and they will be more angry with you than before you did it. This is sin. The anger he has as he's washing his feet. The anger he has. The man who has done him good. The man who has trusted him as he's washing him. Sin in him was becoming exceedingly sinful. It was getting to levels where Satan could enter him. It's not easy for Satan to enter a human being. No, Satan doesn't enter everyone. We may call Diabolos, we may call devil Satan, but it's a small little thing. But there are levels, there are grades that must be reached. Judas reached that grade that was a proof that this man he will not come back. That's why instead of doing like Peter, say, "Master, before you wash me, wait. You wash me, I wash you. I know where these feet are coming from. Some of the dust they gathered, they gathered the dust at the wrong place. You must not be the one to wash your feet. I must wash your feet because everywhere your feet goes, they carry the good news. You went everywhere healing all that were oppressed of the devil. But I know where my feet is coming from. You cannot wash my feet." Judas, he sits there, says, "Wash it." "I always thought little of you. That's why you are washing my feet." Then he finished. They all sit around the table. The Lord Jesus said, "One of you will betray me." And they say, "Is it I?" Which was a proof that they thought to deceive him or to betray him had attacked every one of them. The reason they are saying, "Is it I?" is because the thought to betray you has passed my mind. And it's not wrong to be attacked by thoughts. What is wrong is to entertain them and own them. Thoughts may attack you, but you must not adopt them as your own. Then own them by repeating them with your mouth. Don't own them by recycling them in your thought life. They are not yours. So all of them, a thought to betray Jesus had come because sin was becoming exceedingly sinful and it will attack him by rising up in them. And the one who had the most evil thoughts, sin will establish itself in them. You didn't hear. Glory. You see Judas, Judas was an evil thinker. That's why that thought, when it hit him, it entered his soul and went into his heart. Glory. And for a thought to enter the heart, it has to be played over and over again in the soul. It must be entertained until it becomes like a dot. And then if you were to see the soul of a person like a silver soul, you will see a dot that shows defiled head. If the person continues, it can go into the heart. When it enters the heart, it defiles the heart. Even goodness, it makes people angry. Because of sin, some of you, you can't explain why you have done some people good and they are still angry with you. Close. People may say all they can say and say is because when they were young, they were abused. And no, they are sinners. Sin is rising up in them and they cannot appreciate what somebody has done. They must repent if they are to be changed. I told you I'm here to make sin appear sinful because Jesus came to get rid of sin. That is his enemy number one. But sin has advanced and is hiding behind names. And so from there, Judas, the Bible says Satan entered him and he left.

Let's go to the garden of Gethsemane. I have been there. I've gone to that garden. There we see sin rising up in in a fashion that is so outstanding. First of all, he chooses Peter, James, and John. And they say, "Come with me." Which means he's saying, "I trust you. I can trust you with my life." And he said, "Wait here and watch and watch and watch." So he went. And the reason he wanted to be watched is because he didn't know what will happen to him when he starts to take on our sins, when he starts to carry our sorrows and grief. Yes. The last time he saw a man under sin, he saw Adam. He saw how a man so confident after sin, he was running around and he had lost sense that he can't hide from God. But he tried to hide. So Jesus is thinking, "Look, I'm about to do something here I've never experienced. I need people who can watch. Maybe I will faint. I want them to watch over me." He chose them. He comes. He finds them sleeping. The Bible says their eyes were heavy. Now we may say it's because it's because they were tired. Peter by his own mouth, he said, "For fish, I toiled all night." You didn't hear Peter by his own mouth, which means people sleep where they want to sleep. I told you I will end in your. People sleep where they want to sleep. When he was doing fishing, he said, "The whole night because I know every fish is associated with money. The whole night I stayed awake." But sin made them sleep. To prove that it's exceedingly sinful. This is what Jesus is facing. He's being attacked. Sin made his people to sleep. Remember James and John were his partners in fishing. You know that doing all night fishing, it was a norm for them. Glory. It is sin that complains about church and say, "Are you doing all night at church?" But they do all night in a tavern, in a club. Yes. The whole night in a club, the whole night in a tavern and they are dancing and dancing and dancing and they don't sleep. But sin, that when people rise up against you, I want you to know it is sin in them rising up against you. It is sin that rises up against the people of God. And the levels that it rises up in people, it's exceedingly higher levels. The anger that people have towards the people of God. That anger is fueled by sin in people because people are sinners and they need to repent. There are some things when people are angry because you did it for the Lord. Oh God, the level, even if they don't understand themselves, I'm here to tell you it is sin in them. Jesus. Was Jesus the only one that people bought oil for? Glory. You know a man who plays soccer and gets money, he can he can buy a car for the village. Ah, it's okay. Let him buy it. A preacher. The the level of anger. Even the people that are angry, they don't know what's carrying it, what's carrying them. It's called sin. The way they are so angry. Glory. It's sin that it may show that it's exceedingly sinful. Peter, you can tell the whole night you fishing on night shift was your way. Now you can't stay awake for an hour. Glory. But if you are trying to get to your girlfriend, and the only time you can get her is 2:00, you will stay awake the whole night because sin, it's exceedingly sinful and it hides behind names. That's why Jesus said, "I'm here to provoke sin. I will allow some things to happen so that you may know that you are sinners. So instead of hiding behind names, you will fall down and say, 'Jesus, you that defeated sin, help me conquer sin.'" Jesus, thank you. Full of jealousy, grateful and negative. I hide behind mental health, but I'm so discontent. I am never grateful for what people have done for me. I'm always negative about others and about myself. You may call it mental health. It is sin. It is sin. Repent. It is sin. And when we go to the root of it, you will understand why the Master conquered that thing. So he sees them under the sin is manifesting. He is at the hands of Peter, James, and John. He is suffering the contradiction of sinners against himself. This is a contradiction. When it benefits you, you stay awake. When it's supposed to help me, you are because it's selfishness. When it benefits you, you stay awake. But now it's about me. I want you to watch and look at me. Take care of me. I don't know what's going to happen. Somebody say sin. We are still in the garden. Let's look at the sinners. He stands with them all. The disciples, the the other eight, they they can't even sense the moment. What's happening is so far from them. It's the hour of sin. Here comes Judas. He enters the garden of Gethsemane. Now it's at night. It's difficult to see and notice who is who because they have almost the same height. They have beards. They have long hair. First of all, Judas says, "I can identify him in the dark." Number two, "I know where he is at this time." We will find him there. I left them in the upper room, but I know he went to get them. Jesus. He went with a kiss. He says, "Oh." And and the Master said, "Friend." Glory. Friend. To call him friend. It will still not melt the heart of Judas. At this point, he had a chance when he washed him. He had a chance when he gave him soup. Another chance when he calls him friend. Glory. Judas the sinner. So Jesus, he asked the people, "Who are you looking for?" They say, "Jesus of Nazareth." Now he answered them in the name that God gave to Moses. When Moses asked, "Who shall I say sent me?" says, "I am that I am." So Christ, when they said, "We are looking for Jesus of Nazareth," he said, "I am he." They failed. I want you to picture sin. They experience power and they had the guts to rise up and still arrest him. At this. You know, sin, sin, a person can have a car. It breaks down when they are going to church. They will turn and go back. It's sin because the same car, if it breaks down when they are going to see a girlfriend. Yes, Lord. Jesus. I went with Pastor Paul to watch. Was it Chips and Sandowns? I think it was Chips and Sandowns. So, we got there. N7 is full. We realized if we stay here, we'll get there after after time. We told our wives, "You're going to drive this car." We and the boys. No, you don't get it. When it saves people, people are willing to sacrifice. Jesus. At that time, I didn't care whether she will pack it and close the window. What I am miss. Jesus. Say sin that may appear exceedingly sinful. They fall down. They experience the powers of the world to come. You people don't understand. They experience the power of when they are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, that name Jesus. But look at rose up. We are still going to rest. There is some goodness. When that goodness, you breach it, you must know you are becoming exceedingly sinful. There is good people can show you and and you are still angry. Glory. Thank you Jesus. He bought you a flower. He came with a flower. The flower looks like your tie, but you are still angry. You can't realize this is part of sorry for him to get to this. It means he has gone through this in his mind. But sin that may appear exceedingly sinful, that goodness means nothing. Somebody say sin. Somebody say sin. Today we're going to repent of sin. Yes, Jesus. Yes, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you. They fell down, rose up, and still arrested him. There was one guy. His name is called Malchus. Peter took one of the swords with his left hand. He went after the this the other ear, the left ear, man. He caught it, fell down on the ground in the dark with lamps among the dry leaves. It's difficult to see the the piece of an ear. At the Lord Jesus. He believed in the gift of the Holy Ghost to look for the ear of his enemy. He says, "I want to show that sin is exceedingly sinful, but sin will not enter me because I must face it all the way." He took the ear in the ground. He put it back. Here is the miracle. This Peter did the operation. Jesus did the restoration. Yes, Lord. The ear. It's not out of shape because this was in the dark. It's perfect. The same guy after the ear is restored. Yeah. Do you want me to hold his hands? Bring bring your hand. Sing. Somebody say somebody say sin. Arresting the one who healed you. Glory. You see at this time sin is hiding behind fear. It's the fear of what will the chief priests do unto us if we don't arrest him. So some sin hide behind fear. Yes, Lord Jesus. You are afraid of what you want to be afraid of. How many people to go to sin? They have walked territories that they say to walk there during the day, somebody must accompany me. But at night, they are able to pass. Sin that it may appear exceedingly sinful. A prostitute says, "I'm afraid to die of hunger, but is not afraid of strange men that she does not know that they might kill her and go with her head away." Somebody say sin. It's selective. It's selective. I'm afraid. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Look at your life. This is more dangerous than hunger. Yes. So you are afraid of the lesser, but you are not afraid of the greater. Therefore, it not fear, it sin. Glory to God. Everywhere from Bethany, I must face sin and I have it will not get into me. Even if they do all these things, I will still remain. I'm going to tell you what he possessed from Bethany all the way to

THE CROSS.

HE took on the character of an animal. I shared with you that many animals have meekness as their character. The meekness of a lamb. It's characterized by quietness in pain. The meekness of a donkey. It's characterized by hard work without complaining. The meekness of a camel. It's characterized by adaptability. IT CAN ADAPT. IT HUMBLES ITSELF SO THAT IT CAN fit in in order to enter in.

This meekness that he took on is the meekness that has stand for generations. Because when he made the animals, he made this one, understanding that it will silence sin because sin thrives where there is a big mouth. You didn't hear. SO HE MADE A LAMB. I SAY HE MADE A LAMB. WE MAY LOOK DOWN UPON a lamb. But think about it in the manifestations of Jesus. He manifests a lion. Good. But one animal that he manifests is a lamb. Why? because it possesses meekness associated with quietness. So on the way to the cross when sin was provoking him, he was as meek as a lamb. It's being LED TO THE SLAUGHTER, BUT IT'S QUIET. IT'S BEEN PROVOKED EVERYWHERE, BUT IT'S NOT.

They may say it's a weakness, but I don't know. WHY IS IT >> THAT THE BIBLE SAYS IN GENESIS IN ROMANS CHAPTER 5, sin reign from Adam to Moses, death reign from Adam to Moses. But in Moses, DEATH CAME FACE TO FACE WITH THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB. YES. Because in the day of Moses, he said, "I found a secret and the secret is in the lamb. This lamb has got blood. GLORY TO GOD. >> THE BLOOD SPEAKS." YES, LORD. >> WHEN THE LAMB IS QUIET, IT BLOOD DOES THE SPEAKING. It's mix and therefore quiet. That's why when the master was looking at the animals, they say when you go to redeem man, which animal do you want to associate with? He said the lamb. THE LAMB. SAID the lamb. I must be like the lamb. If you are TO DEFEAT SIN, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE THE MEEKNESS OF A LAMB. YES, Lord Jesus. >>

It was like it's dumb led to the slaughter. Do you know if Jesus opened his mouth and say stop? >> A lot was going to stop. One >> the earth rotation will stop the hearts of everyone. They will stop everything will come to stand still. Stop. But he carried it quietly. Let me jump. Let us leave Gethsemane. I'm going to pass through the house of Pontius Pilate. I have left the chief priest's house. There's so much sin manifested there. But let's go to puntas pilot. In Pontius Pilate, there is a choice between Barabas who was a notorious prisoner AND HERE he is facing A choice between a notable prisoner who's known to harass people and they say which one must we release between these two children? Listen to me. Sometimes when you are not chosen, when others don't choose you, it's not because there's something wrong with you. It's because sin has risen up against you in them. So let me tell you something so you understand this. It is sin THAT RISES UP. THIS brother is going for an interview and on the way to the interview, >> he meets so many challenges. So that by the time he gets to the interview, his mind is not at the state it's supposed to be. Whether the people know it or not, it is seen in them rising up against you. The challenges you met in the taxi, the challenges you met on the way, it is sin in them rising up against you. Why? Because you are going towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God. What is the prize? The joy at the right hand of the throne of God. Glory to God.

So they choose Barabas. I want you to SEE JESUS. WHEN THEY SAID JESUS OF NAZARETH OR BARABAS, THEY SAYAB AND TO SHOW THAT sin even in a PRISONER IS HIGH. BARABAS LOOKS AT him and laugh. Jesus, >> I'm better than you. >> Sin can rise up against you in many people, but that still does not make you wrong. Glory. Thank you, Jesus. It's sin. People may not know it. But it is sin rising up in them. So the people choose Barabas. >> Here is my question. It looks like they had taken a poll. >> You know what is a poll? >> No. >> It's like it's like a It's like where people vote. It's like Who DO YOU VOTE FOR? BARABAS or Jesus? So the vote went to Barabas. Here is my question. Where are the multitudes that he HEALED to vote for him? Glory >> for their voices to be heard. Where are the multitudes? He fed bread. SIN SHOWING ITSELF EXCEEDINGLY SINFUL IN THEM. THEY ABANDONED HIM THAT PROVIDED for them at the time of need. You don't get it because they are hiding behind. We are afraid of authorities. THAT'S WHY THAT BLACK MAN from Sirene, he condemned multitudes. When he said, "I will help him with his cross. Even if YOU KILL ME WHEN I GET TO THE CROSS, BUT I'M I'M NOT AFRAID to identify with him." He was overcoming sin in his life called fear. Where are the multitudes to vote for Jesus instead of Barabas? They are gone. Somebody say sin it's hidden behind fear.

Now watch this. Now Pontius Pilate say what will be done to Jesus? They say crucify him. Kill him. Kill him. At that time Peter denied him three times. When the Bible says he denied him three time it means it was not a mistake. If it was a mistake it will have been once. I know there are people who say Judas betrayed him once. No, his story started where Judah's heart was harder than Peter. That's why even when he saw that he was wrong, I'm talking to Judas now. When he saw he was wrong, the Bible says because of pride, he will not go to the master and say, "I'm sorry." He will rather die by hanging than to say, "I'm sorry." Are you people, you don't get it? I know sometimes there are people who defend Judas. I'm here to expose that was wicked when he realized he betrayed innocent blood. Even though you can remember this man is so kind, he washed my feet when I didn't deserve it. I saw him heal the ear of Malcus in the garden when I was betraying him. Surely he's merciful, but I am wrong. I would rather die than to say sorry to Jesus. >> You will think he's all that. At that point, Judas has been identified with sons of peditions. Yeah. Sons of destruction. Yes. sons including Lucifer and others we don't know it's I would rather die then say sorry that's why the prodigal son he condemns Judas >> and he condemns Lucifer sons that when they are in the wrong they will never say sorry they will rather die than humble themselves Thank you Lord Jesus. Oh Lord, now we arrive at the station called the cross.

At the cross you will have thought now that he made it to the cross that's it. The Bible says there were two sinners. The one on the right, the one on the left. They were friends. They had harassed the community. They deserve to die this way. But sin to show that is exceedingly sinful. These are the sinner. He starts insulting Jesus. Amen. If you are the son of God, help yourself, man, and help us.

In all of this story, I want you to see the people who walked in the path of Russia regardless of sin. In Bethany, it was the woman. She showed Jesus mercy when everyone else thought he didn't deserve mercy. That was sin did attack her, but she didn't allow it. In the upper room, he found accommodation where he could spend the last moment with his disciples. The owner didn't turn him down. That is kindness. Glory. On the way to the cross, he got help from Simon ofSirene. Sireneh. Not Syria. It's not Syria. It's Sirene. >> Yeah. It's in Libya. >> At that time, they had settled different communities there. This man, Simon ofSirene, the father of Rufus and Alexander. You have to follow him in the Bible. You will find him in Acts chapter 13. He's the one who anoints Paul as they send him by the Holy Ghost. He was there. That's why you hear Paul speak about Rufus and Alexander. Those were his sons. So we see this man. He still found time to show Jesus kindness at the time of his need.

At the cross there is a guy on the right here. When he hears the insults, >> he said to this guy, "SHUT UP, MY FRIEND. Shut up. You and I, you know why we are here?" This man, what has he done? You're just taking your anger on him. It was sin. You see, they might say, "No, he has anger problem. He has sin problem. So they say shut up. >> Then this man made make a request that shows that how you start may not matter. What matters is how you end. It's good to start well and end well. It's better to end well regardless how you started. This is a guy who is about to experience a miracle and find out that this man has conquered him so much. Watch this. He says to him, say, "Remember me when you come into your kingdom." Hey, what is this guy saying? First of all, he said, "Lord, say master, >> remember me when you come into your kingdom." Which mean if you are coming into your kingdom, I know you are a king. >> There are people who made heaven and we don't know because we don't know their last moment. What we know is their bad history. But if this guy they didn't record what he did, his family will have thought he went to hell. He said, remember me when you come into your kingdom. And the Lord Jesus said to him, I say unto you this day. Now this scripture sometimes matters. You know, comma matters. If you put comma in the wrong place, it can mean something different. You know when we they were using what is called telegram. >> Now I know children today they know telegram social media telegram. Do you know where telegram comes from? The one you use. It comes from the way they used to communicate before. You used to pay so much money for the message you sent. So there was a woman. She travel with her husband's credit card. So when she go to Paris >> and she sees jewelry very expensive and very nice. So she told her husband with telegram uh can I buy jewelry? So the husband responded, "No, >> price too high." Some of you will get it. Glory. >> So no comma price too hard. So the comma didn't appear in that sight. So the way it appeared to her in the telegram was no price to her. >> No. Now now >> if you forget if your wife has your bank card and she's in the mall AND THEN YOU ANSWER by WhatsApp and you forget no comma price to YOU SAY NO PRICE TO HER. Hey Woo! Hallelujah. No price too high. The wife SHE SPENT SO much all the money. She came with jewelry. So the husband when she get say she say I've got the proof you know the way I love you I love you more now after going to Paris then where's the money she says you told me no price to her and I know you my husband said let me see the telegram there There was no comma. Let me show you the power of comma here. Put that verse back. Jesus said unto him, "This day, >> so I want you to read it." Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto you, today you shall be with me in paradise." That >> it's in the wrong place. It's the translators. >> What he said is this. >> Verily I say unto you today, >> you shall be with me in paradise because Jesus after this he didn't go to paradise. Oh, >> but if you read it this way, verily I say unto you, today you shall be with me in paradise. It's as if when he died, he went to paradise. The story of redemption will be incomplete. >> We know he didn't go to paradise. What he TOLD HIM IS, I'M TELLING YOU TODAY, you will be with me in paradise as I wrap up the story.

He hang on the cross for 3 hours FROM 12:00 until 9 until 3:00 rather 6 hour to the 9th hour. 3 hours THE WHOLE LAND WAS IN DARKNESS. Now let's ask ourself the land. You see there was darkness over the earth. You see, if you read this one, this translation, >> which translation were you reading on Sunday, it was not King James, the one that says over all the land. Was it evangelist? There's a translation they put there. It actually says over the land. Now, >> glory. >> Sometimes when you read, thank you. It's NIV. When you read King James sometimes say the whole earth but it's talking the that local land that is correct >> this one there was darkness darkness came over the whole land until 3 in the afternoon. So you can go back to King James. I like King James for 3 hours in that land. >> The darkness was produced by the concentration of the powers of darkness. From Bethany all the way he conquered sin and at the cross. He was made a sinner. >> Okay. >> The expression of being made a sinner is when Moses made bronze bronze >> and then he made a snake out of it. Now >> you know you can take gold and make a snake. You can make take gold and make a snake. You can take a beautiful tree and make a snake. It doesn't mean the tree is a snake. It was made a snake. Gold is not a snake. It was made a snake. Bronze is not a snake. >> You can take it and make something so beautiful. But it was made >> at the cross. >> He was made, he who knew no sin was made a sinner FOR US. THAT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. That's 2 Corinthians chapter 5:21. For he made him to be seen for us. When sin could not enter him, he at the cross was made to be seen for us. The gold was MADE A SNAKE. THE BRONZE WAS MADE a snake. It is not primarily a snake. IT WAS MADE TO be like that because there was going to be a transaction. Take note. He was made to be seen for us. Who knew no sin who can no sin who knew no sin by experience. Although sin rose up against him, he did not commit sin. When he showed kindness and they paid him with evil, he did not become evil and become a sinner. He he knew no sin but experience. Even through the betrayals shooters, HE KNEW NO SIN. THROUGH THE BETRAYAL and denials of Peter, he knew no sin. WHEN THE PEOPLE IN SIMON the leper were were in indignation, HE KNEW NO SIN. WHEN MALCUS ARRESTED HIM AFTER HE HEALED HIM, HE KNEW NO SIN AT THE CROSS, HE REACHED THE PLACE WHERE THE BRONZE BECOMES THE SNAKE >> SO THAT THOSE WHO LOOKS AT THE SNAKE that is that is a bronze >> they may be healed. Watch this. He conquered sin along the way. >> And now he's at a place where he is made to be seen. He knew no sin. It's a transaction. Why? That we >> might be made >> the righteousness of God. It's it's called exchange. SO FOR 3 HOURS, the land in Israel experienced what is called concentration of the powers of darkness. THEY WERE SO INTENSE WHEN THEY REPORTED AT CALVARY >> BECAUSE IT WAS ANNOUNCED IN THE kingdom of darkness that WE HAVE MANAGED TO GET THE SON OF GOD. NOW HE'S IN OUR HANDS AND YOU ARE ALL SUMMONED TO CALVARY. PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD, spirits and shadows of darkness. THEY ALL CONCENTRATED OVER ISRAEL. THEIR CONCENTRATION WAS SO INTENSE THAT IT SHUT THE SUNLIGHT IN THAT LAND. I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE NOT SEEN darkness but they have started to produce movies where you can have CREATURES THAT COMES OUT in millions and THEY CAN SHUT SUNLIGHT IN A PARTICULAR LAND. That's the picture of what happened. Darkness descended upon Calvary. Among them is those things called the bulls of Bashan. in in Psalm 22. Psalm 22. >> Now the the operation of this power when we are allowed to experience it, it's the power. Yeah. The power that power of the oppressor. It's the power, the little portion that was taken from what Christ experienced at the cross. That's why everyone under the power of oppression, everyone, they shout Jesus, even those who don't know him. Did you know THAT >> THEY DON'T SAY >> yes everyone say >> you hear THEM SAY I WAS TRYING TO SAY >> it was not coming out now multiply that a billion times >> and have it happen for 3 hours for 3 hours darkness oppressed him. Oppressed him. Oppressed him. Who is he going to call? >> He will call his father. Yes, Jesus. >> In all this existence, he has never been separated from his father. But on this occasion after he was made a sin, Satan could oppress him and the father had left him for a while at 3 p.m. in the afternoon. It was on Wednesday. I don't have time to prove to you, but Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday. It was what the book of James calls a high Sabbath. Yeah. A normal Sabbath comes on Saturday. This one he was crucified on high Sabbath. So it was Wednesday afternoon. So it's 300 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon when he's alone. >> Alone. My father, my father, why have you forsaken me? And he gave up the ghost. when he gave up the ghost, remember darkness left him. And the reason they use the word he gave up the ghost is because he was going to go to the ghost land. The spirits, they left that territory. They are going now to their territory. They're going to lock him up.

Now, there was a secret in the secret of God. The reason Jonah >> was sent to hell while his body was in the whale. He went there for inspection. GLORY. JONAH WENT TO HELL FOR INSPECTION. It was a trap. When Jonah was in hell, one of the things he needed to inspect was how to come out of hell. Like prison break. If you read your Bible in Jonah 2, you know he says, "Out of hell I cry." >> He was literally in hell. So one of the things was when you are in hell. He was in the belly of hell. That part, it's where Christians, former Christians go. They go into the belly part. Hell is like a human body lying on the on the earth. It has legs, hands, it has eyes and it has a belly. The belly part, it's where they torment Christians. Now you can ask yourself I'm referring to former Christians people will say but who torment others. It's it's the spirits in hell. Yes. It's like prison where you are all prisoners but other prisoners are mafias. They torment others. You know what I'm talking about. >> You know what I'm talking about? >> Yes. That hell >> hell is administered by Satan. He has a group there that work day and night, torment people. And it's not only fire. Fire has got episodes. I don't think hell has been taught very well. It has episodes like fire. Fire in hell can come like at 9. It come it burn and it passes. Sometimes it can burn one part other time it burn the whole part. Apostle are you scaring me? If I can scare the hell out of you, then you will be free. >> Yes, Jesus. >> I want to scare the hell OUT OF YOU. HELL MUST COME OUT OF YOU. >> But but hell has not been taught very well. It's very serious. So he went to the belly because Jonah, why he went to the belly is because remember he was running away from the call of God. So they took him where uh the former evangelist pastors where they are taken to this day. It's a place they are held for now. Let no one lie to you and say there is no hell. It's like going to overseas. And then somebody say, "Prepare your clothes. That place is cold." And the other person says, "Now man, that place has got perfect weather like Joan's back." Just take your clothes. What if indeed it is cold? So if you don't believe in hell at least prepare yourself just in case I am right. Thank you Jesus. >> Thank you Lord. >> I'm about to finish. So when he was in that h Jonah look Jonah was a special child. Let me tell you as well. Jonah is that son of the Shunomite. the one who was who said mama glor so he died when the devil killed him when he was young and then Elisha raised him that's why he's the only child you hear was killed by headache in the Bible kill a human I rebuke that headache out of you in the name of Jesus I receive in JESUS JESUS NAME. >> PUT YOUR HAND ON YOUR HEAD NOW >> IN THE NAME OF JESUS. THAT HEADACHE WILL NOT CLAIM YOUR LIFE. >> I RECEIVE. >> LOSE YOUR GRIP. >> I receive >> and leave the people of God in the name of Jesus. >> I receive in Jesus name. >> So the devil had wanted to kill him >> many times. many times, but here he is now because he was to be there for three days and three nights so that they can test that the body can be in the belly of a fish and be preserved while the spirit and the soul are in hell. But by speaking righteousness In the book of Psalms, he says, "I will declare your righteousness in the congregation." What it means is when Christ Jesus >> entered, he went to hell. Now remember the thieves who died first. between Jesus and the tips. Remember they had to break there. >> Yes. Glory. Christ died first. He went to hell. When they broke the other guy and they broke the other one, they all went the other one. >> He went to Abraham's bosom's >> called paradise. The other one joined Jesus, >> but he didn't see him because they didn't go to the same section. He's going to see him later. There will be noise. No, we have to produce the movie in hell. Three days and three nights in hell. No, we must meditate and know what happened in that place. When he was there again, the powers of darkness were summoned now to lock him. But there was a secret. This man was not a sinner. He was made sin. He carried our sins. The lamb of God that takes the sin of the world. So when he went as a lamb, meek and quiet, he was carrying our sins in hell. Lucifer himself came. He came with so many things. even the things that he had hidden and he had stolen those. There was a day Lucifer Lucifer >> stole the keys of hell >> and of death. There was a day because We find him having those keys. Now, >> nobody could come out of hell and also out of Abraham's bosom's >> without the keys. They couldn't come out. And beside if if you were to come out, if you were to come out, you will be lost. >> Yes. Because you don't know that world. And I think I shared with you that one day I'm going to teach about death. So we we differentiate the people that are dead and other people say we saw them and then the people that are dead and they they go to another place and then they get married and have children. I know you may say it's not true. There's so much about death Even about when people come out others before they are buried and they are moving in certain places they are not in heaven. They are not in hell but they are going through territories and they are guidance through that territory. Let me tell you something about death. My brother and sister, let no one lie to you. I don't think you want to come out of your body and be found not knowing where you're going. And the place where you are there creatures, your mother, she can't hear you. Your father, they can't hear you. your brother, they can't hear you. At that time, they are fighting over policy, fighting about where to bury your body. Others are struggling to get release policies and you are there on your own. You are in the land where the Bible says is a land of darkness. There's no fire. It's just dark. There is nashing of teeth to show sorrow like I'm sorry. I am I regret. Yeah. It's like I'm so angry with myself that I didn't believe. So they n to n the teeth. It's a regret where you are angry with yourself. Why I didn't believe when it was shown to me so many times? And there are territories like that. Oh my brother and sister, it is good that we are we got a job, we got married, we bought a car, we finished, but hey, don't forget that there is hell to sh and there is heaven to gain. Jesus, >> that's the I know it's name. He wants to escape. >> Glory out darkness. >> There shall be weeping and nashing of teeth. We need that one on all night. You release that Jesus. But you must appreciate Jesus what it is. Nobody >> can enter here >> and come out >> on their own. Glory. >> It was Jonah, >> the miracle child. That's why there was he was attacked when he was very young. That's why his mother, it took so long to get that boy. What a special one. Jonah was very special. Don't underestimate that prophet. >> Jonah came out. >> Who called him? Father, he called him because he prayed a prayer. Oh, you know, one of the things Jonah found out when he was there, >> Jonah said to follow vanity is to forsake your own mercy. Look at that verse. It's to forsake your own mercy. He found out on earth we are living our own mercy. We are given own mercy. It's in Jonah chapter 2. Please to follow vanity is to forsake your own mercy. He found that people wasted their time following useless things and they forsook their own mercy. When Jesus stand upright on your feet, when he entered that place, he did what Jonah did, calling upon the name of the Lord, staying true to God the Father, And the Lord >> heard his cry. Glory. Thank you Jesus. They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. He saw a group of people Jonah that used to save what is called ancestors. If you read the book of Jonah, you will hear that they were casting lots like Jonah. He saw the people that were the product of the lying vanities of Sangas. And he found out that everyone have what is called your own mercy. Your own mercy. Your own mercy. Your own mercy. This me so sufficient. And it will see us through difficult periods in our life. Jonah found out >> that even the people that end up there because they experienced difficulties. They forsook their own mercy and they followed lies and deception that were dished out by agents of darkness. You don't get this. He found out this revelation is getting in hell. He found out that that situation you were in which led you to a sangoma, there was your own mercy that was sufficient to see you through that tough time and you were lied to. So you forsook your own mercy and you went after lying vanities. Jonah found out it's better to suffer when I'm in the part of righteousness because there I have my own mercy because he went there because of disobedience. SO HE FOUND OUT that by not going to Nineve, by going to Tarsish where they used to made ships and they were dealing a lot with golden minerals. He was deceived that if you don't go to Nineve, you go to you going to make it in life. So he found out in hell And those that forsake their own mercy or those that follow lying vanities, they forsake their own mercy. So there is mercy for everyone. If you are an orphan, there is mercy for you. If you are single, there is mercy for you. If you are a youth, there is mercy for you. If you are married, there is mercy for you. That's why the Bible says his mercies endureth forever. What it means is this. >> And it's from everlasting to everlasting. >> It endures forever. What it means is there IS NO GENERATION, THERE ARE NO PEOPLE THAT have spent the rest of the mercies of God. There is no generation that can come AND SAY WE ARE SO BAD. GOD HAS RUN OUT OF MERCY. IT ENDURES FOREVER AND EVER. IN EVERY GENERATION, in every man, NO MATTER THEIR SITUATION, they have their own mercy. They are own mercy own. JESUS WILL FIND OUT THAT BECAUSE YOU ENTERED HELL AS A MAN WHO WAS RIGHTEOUS MADE SINNER, YOU WILL FIND mercy in the bs of hell. No, you didn't hear >> Jesus. Hey, >> thank you, LORD. LET ME TELL you when Jesus went to hell. In fact, AT THE CROSS, WHILE WE MAY FOLLOW the path of sin, while we may follow what Satan was doing for three hours, what you don't know, THERE WERE HIGHER BEINGS THAT ARE older than Satan. Two of them, one is CALLED JUSTICE. THE OTHER ONE IS CALLED MERCY. THEY WERE ALL PART OF THAT PROCESS. Justice demands every wrong must be punished failings. And when justice is satisfied, when justice is satisfied, when justice is satisfied, IF HE DOES THIS, I want you to see what happened. BECAUSE JESUS CONQUERED SIN, HE WOULDN'T ALLOW IT TO ENTER HIS SYSTEM. HE WAS MADE TO BE A SINNER. SO IT IS THAT EVEN IN HELL >> WHERE GOD SAYS WHEN YOU GO TO HELL I'M ALSO there he says EVEN IN HELL I AM THERE. SO WHICH MEANS IF A MAN WHO WAS RIGHTEOUS can take the sins of other people AND YOU ENTER THERE NOT AS A SINNER BY experience even when he's WALKING THERE HE'S walking in his own mercy. He's walking in his own mercy. WHEN HE WAS IN HELL, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN MESSI LOOKED AT JUSTICE and say, "Justice, >> I THINK IT'S ENOUGH. >> JUSTICE, I THINK THIS MAN HAS paid enough. HE paid for all generations. ON HIS WAY HERE, HE WENT THROUGH EVERY NONSENSE you can think of. HE WILL NOT ALLOW SIN TO ENTER HIM. And when justice was looking at mercy, justice said eternally satisfied. Satisfied. >> Satisfied. >> WHEN JUST SAID, "I'M SATISFIED. A VOICE CAME FROM HEAVEN, THE VOICE OF HEAVEN, >> and he said, >> "THIS IS MY SON." >> AT THE CROSS, HE FORSOOK HIM. >> WHY? >> BECAUSE JUSTICE DEMANDED. because he's made a sinner. Are you still hanging around sinners? Did you cast out Lucifer? Did you cast OUT ADAM? WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT JESUS? THAT'S WHY THE FATHER SAY I'M CONSISTENT. If I PUT RULES, I ABIDE BY THE SAME RULES. IF I PUT A STOP SIGN, I WILL STOP AT THE STOP SIGN. THAT'S WHY HE FORSOOK HIM AT THE cross and walked AWAY FROM HIM. >> AS HE WAS WALKING AWAY, >> JUSTICE was saying IT'S FAIR BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY YOU HAVE ALWAYS DONE IT FOR ETERNITY. BUT WHEN HE WAS IN HELL AND he met the demands OF JUSTICE, JUSTICE LIFTED UP THE FINGER AND SAID, "ETERNALLY SATISFIED. Justice says, SINCE I HAVE COME INTO EXISTENCE, THERE IS NO ONE WHO HAS CONVINCED ME. THERE IS NO ONE WHO HAS STOOD THEIR GROUND UNTIL I CHANGE MY MIND. >> But in CHRIST JESUS JUST SAID >> FOR TIME AND ETERNITY I WILL NEVER DEMAND OUT OF THIS MAN. HE HAS FULLY SATISFIED ME JESUS. JESUS. THAT'S WHEN A VOICE CAME FROM heaven and sed my son. >> It shook hell like lightning. Yes, Lord. Christ Jesus Christ >> like a phoenix >> rose from the ashes in THE PRESENCE OF PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS BY THAT TIME THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN ABRAHAM'S BOSOM they were watching the whole EPISODE THERE WAS DAVID THERE was Lazarus >> WHO DIED WITH THE RICH MAN. THERE WAS THAT MAN WHO WAS HANGING ON THE CROSS, THE ONE WHO DEFENDED HIM ON THE RIGHT SIDE. HE'S watching his KING ABOUT TO REPOSSESS THE GATES ABOUT TO REPOSSESS THE KEYS, THE KEYS OF DEATH AND OF HELL WITH THE POWER OF GOD. WAS RAISED >> WITH STRENGTH IN THE BELLY OF HELL >> with power. >> THE BIBLE says he destroyed him. THAT IS THE POWER OF DEATH. THAT IS THE DEVIL. In Hebrews 2:14, it says he destroyed him >> THROUGH DEATH BY DYING. JESUS entered West and was hiding. It was a trap. It was a THREAT >> and a Satan fell for it. Glory. Yes, Jesus. >> Because that day >> he took out all the things, everything. >> He wanted to show him a look. born, >> you cannot come out of it. >> Even if your father wants you to come out, >> HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT A SPY >> had gone to hell called Jonah >> and he found a part of me. HE FOUND A PATH OF MERCY. He came OUT OF THERE. >> HE went straight to Nineveh. THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID LIKE JONAH WHO WAS IN THE BELLY OF THE EARTH FOR THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS. SO SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE. WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS I HAVE been reading ABOUT JONAH. I'M FINDING OUT what he found out when he was a spar so that WHEN I GET THERE, IT WORKS FOR ME. >> When I get there, it works for me. Abraham is watching. Isaac and Jacob are watching. I like Jonah. >> I like Job. Because Job as he is telling them he say that's my redeemer >> that I said my redeemer is coming. And you see John the Baptist. NOW HE UNDERSTANDS WHY HE DIED YOUNG THAT I WAS SENT TO PREPARE THE PATRIARCHS TO ALLAY THEIR FEARS THAT IS coming as THEY ARE WATCHING THE WHOLE EPISODE. It's like A MOVIE. THAT'S WHY THE BOOK OF COLOSSIANS SAYS CHRIST MADE AN OPEN SHOW OF PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS BECAUSE THE WHOLE THING WAS ALLOWED TO PLAY LIKE A MOVIE THROUGH DEATH HE PARALYZED HIM THAT THE POWER OF death when he took the keys even Lucifer himself even when he didn't want to his knees started to do like this. >> The knees. The knees. >> The knees. EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW. EVERY tongue confess that JESUS IS. Lucifer is doing this >> BECAUSE BEFORE HIM, IT'S LIKE HE'S looking at HIS SURPRISE. >> WHO'S HERE? >> WHO WAS I PLAYING WITH? THIS IS JEHOVAH. >> THAT'S WHY WITH his knees unwilling, unwilling, but he was weak. And down he went. Hallelujah. Yes, Lord. Jesus. >> He's the first one to say Jesus is Lord. Yes, LORD JESUS. >> WE TRIED HIM AT THE CROSS. We couldn't get him. WE SENT OUR MESSENGER SIN. He defeated sin. He is Lord. >> He gave the keys. In fact, he repossessed the keys cuz they were taken from Adam. Yes. When he CAME OUT OF THERE, >> DAVID IS SHOUTING ALL OVER ABRAHAM'S >> HE SAID THAT'S MY SON. >> That's the seed of David. Jesus. JESUS >> MELISEDC >> is watching this from heaven >> because there are beings that go straight to heaven. Enoch was one of them. Misedc was one of Moses bypassed also. ELIJAH BYPASSED THOSE ONES ARE WITNESSING IT FROM HEAVENLY PLATFORMS. BUT THIS IS happening for 72 hours on earth. His body is lying in the tomb. Thursday night, Thursday night. Friday night, THE FLIES AS THEY TRY TO come to the tomb, they are killed by the PERFORM OF THAT WOMAN. YES, LORD. BECAUSE THE WAY THEY BURIED HIM, they quickly tied the clothes around him. THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME, so they they put a napkin. Then the the next clothes, they just put it on the face. That's where the flies wanted to lay the the the eggs that will hatch and become MEGOT IN THE EYES OF THE MASTER. So his body is decayed. WHEN SHE POURED THAT PERFUME, SHE poured it IN THE HEAD. THE PART THAT WILL BE WIDELY EXPOSED. SO it was mainly in the head. SO THE FLIES COULD NOT COME AND LAY. SO ON EARTH IS LYING THERE. ON THURSDAY NIGHT, THINGS are happening where he is. FRIDAY NIGHT, THINGS ARE HAPPENING WHERE HE IS. AS FOR his disciples, SOME OF THEM HAVE STARTED TO REGRET. Where was I going? For all these three years, I lost my job. I followed this preacher. I thought he will not die. Now he is dead. >> It's been 24 hours. It's been 48 hours. 48 hours. >> They were ignorant of the fact that HE SAID THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS SOMETHING IS going to happen. >> Jesus. WHEN HE CAME OUT OF THERE, he broke through that gulf which Abraham said no man can go into it. Christ said, "By my God, >> I jump through an army. I go through the valley of the shadow of death, brother. YOU CAN SEE NOW THOSE WHO WERE TOLD THEY ARE STUPID ON EARTH, THEY ARE NOW FINDING REALITIES AFTER DEATH. THAT THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH. LIFE CONTINUES AFTER DEATH, but things continue to happen after death when he entered Abraham's. I am here to take you home, boys and girls. In fact, when he entered there, everyone is lying flat. FLAT. They are not bowing before a 33 year old woman. No, they are not bowing to a 33 year old boy. 33. >> They have found out truth. >> Jesus is God. Glor. That's why been Abraham. Say my Lord. Thank you Jesus. >> That's why I was glad when I saw you. >> THE RAM THAT WAS CAUGHT IN THE THICKET. My Lord. HE TOLD ALL OF them that this place is going to be taken over shortly. In due TIME I DIED SO I CAN GET YOU OUT OF HERE. He said we are going. I'm selecting few of them. You will pick up your bodies through Jerusalem >> and I will send you to few people. The rest of you, you will pick up your bodies. You're going to wait for me. THERE IS A STATION in the clouds. There is a waiting place in the clouds. The same place when he comes in the rapture, he will stand there. HE SAID, "ABRA, ISAAC, JACOB, you're going to go with this group. You will wait in the sky. The people will look. All they will see is the clouds. TO THEM IS THE CLOUDS." BUT IN HEBREWS 12:1, IT'S CALLED THE CLOUDS OF witness because these are the people that have WITNESSED THAT I CONQUERED DEATH. I CONQUERED SIN. I CONQUERED the grave. And he said, "Some of you, you will go with me. Some of you, you go up and wait for me. You will wait at that station for 40 days. AND HE SAID, "BOYS, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE." They said, "We've been trying. There's a key. When you come in, you cannot go out." He says, "Boys and girls, I am he that was dead and now I'm alive. >> I have the key. of hell >> and of death, >> WHICH MEANS IF SOMEBODY COMES OUT OF HELL, he must still deal with death. You didn't hear me. WHEN SOMEBODY COMES OUT OF HELL, he must still come out of death. That's why I told you SOME PEOPLE ARE DEAD. THEY ARE not in hell. They are not in heaven. They are in death. They are lingering in the world of death on their own. They have no shepherd. There is no one they know. They are nashing their teeth because they didn't believe. That's why Jesus said, "I've got the keys of death, of hell, >> and death. I will open when we COME OUT OF HELL. THAT PART of Abraham's bosom was part of the bigger hell. That's why you needed keys to come out of it. So when I come out, >> you see what is this? I have the keys of what? Of hell and death. >> Of death. >> Because the sequence is like that. You are coming out of Abraham's bosom. Abraham's bosom, >> part of hell later on. And you must come out of death. >> YOU DIDN'T HEAR. YES, LORD. That's why I told them I have the keys of hell and of death. We are coming out of this whole place. >> He has got the keys. I say he has got the keys. I say he has got the keys. The story of Christianity is the resurrection OF JESUS. IF HE DIDN'T RISE, >> OUR preaching is in faith. >> IF HE DIDN'T RISE, WE ARE HOPELESS. WE THANK GOD FOR THE CROSS. BUT THE CROSS WAS NOT THE END OF THE STORY. It was the means to an end. The end IS RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD. Friday night, Saturday night somewhere between Saturday night and Sunday morning. That's why I tell people I tell people more people die in hospital on Saturdays and people don't know why >> it's a retaliation retaliation because death was humiliated on Saturday night. That's why IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY in hospital on Saturday, pray for them on Saturday night. HELLO BECAUSE I KNEW THIS. I used to go to groomman hospital on Saturday night and I'm not lying. I used to clean the word. I used to go to the men's word and a mixture and the word of mixtures. Those who know the hospital is the first one on the right. That's the first one I will go in. I WILL TRY TO speak as as English so they can hear me and I will pray for them bed by bed because I understood on Saturday death was humiliated and that's why it retaliates on Saturday night. If a person is in public hospital and they survive Saturday night, you must know they've survived. THERE ARE STAFF THAT VISIT THE PEOPLE ON Saturday night in hospitals because death is going everywhere at that time in no on Saturday night. I was humiliated and I CONFESS THAT JESUS IS SO I GO I HAVE TO PUNISH THE PEOPLE. PUNISH punish the people. That was the third night. That's why when they went on Sunday in the morning, he was long raised from the dead. YES, LORD. >> HE WAS RAISED WHILE THEY WERE SLEEPING. HE CAME OUT OF THERE WHILE THEY WERE SLEEPING. THAT'S WHY EVEN THE GRAVES THAT WERE OPEN, THEY WERE OPEN WHILE THEY WERE SLEEPING. THEY CAME OUT EZEKIEL. THEY CAME OUT JEREMIAH. THEY CAME OUT ISAIAH. for days. >> THEY WALKED THE STREETS OF Jerusalem telling them about Christ Jesus, telling them that that man who was crucified is Lord. Some made fun of them, some believed them. Now there was a problem in his house. The problem was his mother believed him. The brothers didn't believe in Jesus. 40 days later, he goes upon the mountain. The family is there. This time above them, they see THE CLOUDS. THEY DON'T KNOW IS the clouds of witnesses. THEY DON'T KNOW ABRAHAM IS THERE, ISAAC IS THERE, Jacob is there. And he said he go to all the earth preaching the gospel, teaching them everything I've taught you. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Before you go, be endued with power from on high. You will study in Jerusalem. You will go to Judea. You will go to Samaria. Then you will go to Ethopia. >> Then you will go to Kumas. And behold, I am with you till the end of age. Even in 2026, >> we are just messengers, >> PART OF THIS LOVE, but relay running a relay. THE TIME IS OURS NOW. WE ARE HOLDING THE BATTLE. >> IT'S IN OUR HANDS NOW. WE'RE GOING TO HAND IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE. >> BUT WE ARE PART OF THE STORY. >> WE ARE PART OF THE STORY. >> WE ARE RUNNING THE RACE SET BEFORE US. Looking unto Jesus. LOOKING UNTO JESUS. LOOKING UNTO JESUS. WE DON'T LOOK UNTO MEN. WE LOOK UNTO JESUS. WE KEEP LOOKING AT HIM. WE OVERCOME sin and we look unto him. IF WE STUMBLE, WE RISE UP AND LOOK UNTO HIM. >> IF WE ARE DISAPPOINTED, WE RISE UP AND LOOK UNTO HIM. IF PEOPLE LEAVE US, WE RISE UP AND LOOK UNTO JESUS. >> IF ANYBODY CHEATS US, WE RISE UP AND LOOK. LOOKING. >> Thank you, Jesus. >> Yes, Lord. >> Looking unto Jesus. who for the joy that was set before him endured the shame of the cross at the cross dispassing the shame and is now sat at the right hand of the throne in that mountain his brothers were there. Now sometimes your people may not believe you because they don't know that there is a human nature which is after where you were born. There's a divine nature which is according to your tribe in Christ. So at the mountain 120 people are there when they look up they see the clouds they don't know it's people Isaiah and Jeremiah have already gone when Apollo goes When at 2 goes to the moon, it went on Friday. If it's not Thursday for the first time after 50 years, we are going close to the moon. We sent four men there. Three men and one woman. Four people. One of them a Christian believer in Christ Jesus. By now they have left the orbit of the earth. I'm telling you what's happening now. You can follow at 2. You will hear the story >> somewhere that thing will inject and leave a capsule that will carry them to go around the moon. They will not land. They will just go around the moon. But if you watch where they came out of, you will see smoke, >> fire, >> water, All of them combined. These people they were in isolation for years for a long time rather they didn't see their family for a long time because they have to be prepared to go there without any disease from anybody. They were training for a long time. They are there now. But over 2,000 years ago they stood on a rock. the gravity that we need to use 2.8 million kg of fuel. >> Gravity 28 million >> 2.8 million kg of fuel that we use to send that equipment into with no noise. If it didn't rise from the dead, our gospel is dead. If Jesus is dead, we must close this church and just go. But Jesus is alive. Lord, >> when he rose up and he started to go, he levitate. >> Gravity is suspended. Gravity is noise. He start going up. I see James his brother. I see Jude his brother. I see Salom his sister. WHILE OTHERS ARE saying most the brothers and sisters, Yeshua is there. We had God for our brother. WE GREW UP WITH GOD and we didn't know. Yes, Jesus. WE LIVED WITH GOD AND WE DIDN'T KNOW. WE ARGUED WITH GOD AND WE didn't know. That's why James said for the rest of my life I will declare him. Jude >> said I will write about him. I will live for him. My brother, >> the Lord had >> Is he your brother today? >> HE'S RAISED FROM THE DEAD AND HE HAS GONE UP TO heaven and he said, "I'm coming for now. He has sent me to you." Close your eyes. Nobody move out. Close your eyes. I wanted to tell you about Jesus. I wanted to tell you so you know he's not a small boy. I wanted you to know that Jesus is God. I took it from Bethany and I was hoping it will land in your house and I believe you have heard me. If you don't know him as your Lord and your Savior, today is the day of your salvation. Now is the acceptable time. He will accept you. He will receive you. You want to make him the Lord of your life. Lift up your right hand. If you want to make him the Lord of your life, you want to rededicate your life to him. Lift up your right hand. The rest of us, we must pray. In our prayer, I see all those hands. In our prayer, we are going to repent where we have hidden sin in a name in in a habit. LET'S CALL IT OUT. YOU ARE A sin and I renounce you. You are not part of me anymore. Those who lifted up their hands, I can see you. Make your WAY HERE WITHOUT BEING ASHAMED. COME HERE TO THE FRIEND. I want to pray with you. DON'T BE AFRAID. COME, COME, COME, COME. HE'S CALLING YOU. >> HE'S CALLING YOU. >> HE'S CALLING YOU. IF YOU HAD LIFTED UP YOUR HAND, today is the acceptable time. TODAY IS THE DAY of salvation.
