following program is sponsored by seattle open door church yet all open door church he's committed to loving god loving people and loving life our doors are open to whomever no mass required seattle open door church how to live it shows us how to walk in life it gives us principles that if we live by and we live a victorious overcoming the life of a live by them we will become change will become more like jesus so help us to ply the principles that we learn in jesus name amen can anybody be deceived absolutely how many know that there are people that follow jesus love jesus but they got the seed in a drinking kool aid that was poisoned then they died everybody remember that verse seventeen every good thing given every perfect  gift is from above coming down from the father of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadel judit know that i was going to be preaching on this passage when he came up with the song he actually asked me did you change your sermon for the song i gave you and i says no did you turn around and read my notes is says every good thing every perfect gift is from god above this is says it good things come from god every day so if anything good comes my way is it from god or is it from me you know unless important how many know that we get into trapped into this concept if i'm a christian if i'm a good person rather a christian not if anything good comes along it has to do with me because i'm so good is that what the scripture says so what if i don't believe in jesus and good things come my way because remove from some god rather i know god don't know god  satan the enemy says he's the father of lights and that there's no barry a should know shifting shadow no turning back no turn around god he's steadfast the solid that i put my trust in him he will never fail me because he is steadfast is right is sin go left right is damaged right is destruction and you go left and so you know that that there is freedom when you do what god tells you to do and then the next day you say god go left or right if he's only tell you not to go right the day before guess wh among his creatures take the first part and the exercises will he brought us forth by the word of truth who is the word of truth jesus is the word of truth this as an exercise his will he brought us forth by the word of truth ok exercise will god's will was to bring jesus truth to us is that true says in the exercise will he brought us forth by the word of truth does the word of truth as jesus bring us to where we need to get to does he bring us for looks bad what if it looks really ugly so god tells me to go be a missionary in timbuktu he doesn't make a mistake so even when it don't look good is there good in it where we learn  him is going to be good is that right so so that we would be a kind of firstfruits among his creatures now of the different interpretations of this one interpretation and i'm jewish so i'm not offended by this so if you're jewish offended then that's on you but sometimes the interpretation is creatures is the jewish people now is that kind of offensive to be called a creature ok but the concept is so that we would be kind of firstfruits among the creatures is among the truth and the concept is where the gospel come to first to come to gentiles of the jews it came to the jews first ok so it came to the jews first and so the jews are the gospel and they're the first fruits proclaim the gospel then other interpretations now that interpretation is that the jews are the first fruits to the gentiles because the gospel came to the jews first and to the gentiles which was the right interpretation and that were the first fruits to all of god's creation that when we accept christ into our life that we are our fruit of salvation that our of our life we become the fruit other people's lives about that one like that one better in the in the make concept is that god is started to work in he's going to complete it in our job is to be a reflection of who jesus christ is we are the first there's the evidence of what god does in a person's life when they accept christ into their life their first night in this you know my b does he love them ok this you may know my beloved brother but everyone must be so listen he says to my beloved brother he loves them right so now he's going to say something to is going to bring a little bit of correction does he still  maybe the reason that he said beloved brother is going to be a little bit of correction prepared that my attitude i have good is a bad news let me tell you the good news before i day the bad news this you know my beloved bread but everyone must be quick to hear slow to speak and slow to anger for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of god he says to him i want you to be what quick to hear slow speak and slow to anger why was he saying that do you think just maybe there is some among the people is writing to that maybe had an anger issue will righteous come out of anger a man knows what it says the anger of man the anger of man and will not achieve the righteousness of god is there other but there is that anger that leads to righteousness is anger that does not lead to real righteousness and i'm giving an example how many know when we get mad we all call it righteous anger if i got mad which my wife said i got right anger here's righteous anger righteous anger always leads to something to change what you're angry about and you hear that righteous anger is anger that has anger but that anger all this leads to make something right so for example if you do this take a topic of the day i'm not asking for hands up but some of us here are against abortion we're angry that on born innocent children are killed by the millions so if you have anger about totally innocent children being killed that righteous anger would be to go bomb abortion clinic what it is that right anger right but if you have anger about the fact that there are innocent children being killed and you have righteous anger there will be something that comes to change that situation so you have anger a and you have anger against the situation and then you turn around to see no reason to do we're going to start a crisis pregnancy centers are going to help women that are facing pregnancy and them to be able to counsel with the minister to him would that be rage righteous anger so the righteous anger took to do something different so righteous anger always brings something positive so there's nothing wrong with anger but is it righteous anger is should be something positive in what i would tell you is the kind of things that we're angry about this would be angry because they point out something about us so if my wife says something that makes me angry should i just hold down slow to speak write this in slow to speak and say is there any truth what she's saying when that big wisdom to do that instead of all of a sudden getting upset about what somebody says what about slowing down is what she's saying true instead of being angry with off the bat though in the my wife says about me is true as long as it's good she says bad means and because a bit yes therefore ok so instead of anger that's on righteous therefore put aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness stop right it turns around and has put away all wickedness it does say what remains of wickedness so if it says put away all wickedness then you put away the drugs right if your drug addict and you accept christ and you want to be change what do you do you stop doing drugs right no that's not saying that is all remains of wiccan is you know what that means not only put away the drugs but put away those things that get you into the drugs whatever remains you know a lot of people get free they get free of the sin that they struggle with because they still hold on to the things that is tied to this and even if they don't do this then so this pic another one they said is i like speeding ok so i like what it says sixty five i like to go one hundred ninety five with your vehicle so you turn around and say you know what i'm going to go ninety five any more money and still keep the vehicle how many know that for somebody it might be better to get rid of the vehicle get rid of what remains because have the vehicle so i don't have never understood when people there's cars that turn around the goal one hundred fifty miles an hour and i wonder why do they sell cars that go hundred fifty miles an hour in america because there's no place you can go under fifty miles an hour but if you see the meter that says one hundred  fifty gauge what you want to do you want to find out if it'll go to one hundred fifty right so but out of it if you have a problem with speeding you probably should get you a mole pat i don't all but you get rid of what remains in other words i not just getting rid of that sin that you struggle with what is it that you also turn around and do what you get rid of the mindset the way of thinking that causes you to send that lead you into wickedness and how many teach that how many are are going to count in all these things but they're never being told you know what you need to put it all away so you turn around i want to quit smoking cigarettes but i got to have those two cigarettes in that ask how many know those decisions the pack will scream and yell at you all die which is  is so ah that you have two cigarettes left there is something that remains and that remains a sits on the table it's on the counter it sits on the wall wherever it sat and it's going to still stream and shout at you i would you wanna hang into a relationship is taking you down why would you stay in a relationship that's taking you out and then even talking about divorce not because how he was just have friends that take his cell friends that are unhealthy for us to be around to raise them to remove all the remains and wickedness in humility receive the word implant which is able to save your soul as a saying will you be humble to receive what the word says if the word says oh no way anything that remains wickedness and that you can walk in victory by doing that why would you not be humble to receive what the word says it's always interesting to me because the word gives us principles that would change our life the work gives us principles that will help us to have a fruitful life because principles that we can walk in victory that we can walk at liberty are going to find out later on talk about walking in liberty that we can walk in freedom to the word of god we can walk in freedom why would we resist the very thing that gives us freedom so how many know that what happens is when you turn around and if somebody is getting counseling and are making some bad choice in life and you go to the word and you give them counsel to the word the person turns around and wants the book the word think about that the word is there to give you freedom what it says is so when you have bay the word you hear the word you hear the word spoken to you it applies to the situation and when you apply that work is save your show of bring salvation to you it brings a purifying a healing in your life and so all of a sudden life is just better how of god we apply it into our life we humbly receive it whether we like it or not whether it makes us feel good or not we humbly receive the word of god that's bringing change into our lives this bring positive change and when we do it saves or so it brings us freedom it makes us that we are healthy and whole and we have to always ask yourself why would i not want to do that and is only one reason stubbornness rebellion not believe in the word of god i don't know if the word is true so the bible tells me dizzy every bit of this word is true and every bit of it is helpful for us to be able to victorious overcoming life in verse twenty two but prove yourselves doers of the word in the merely hearers who delude themselves i find it interesting he says do what the word says not just hear the word so i turn around and tell you that if you want to quit smoking get rid of the cigarettes and you say you know what i hear you say but i'm not going to do it tells us not to sin god doesn't leave us hanging he says this is the way to live he tells us how to live it so we can do it and he says listen to this don't delude yourselves for we want to hear the word not to do or he's like a man who looks at his natural face in the mirror for once he has looked at himself and gone away he has made forgot what kind of person he was that's messed up i go and i look in the mirror and i says oh what a handsome looking guy and  thank you there you go ok now of course i'm exaggerating again but the idea of this passage talking about you look in the mirror you see who you are but you walk away you look and you don't know who you are what if you look in the mirror in your face to face and you realize you know what i am a  i'm struggling with this issue in my life i have this this trial this tribulation that i'm not getting the victory over and i'm having this trouble it what this is saying is a person that gets diluted it walks away doesn't realize that that's them and the way this patch is saying you walk away you know walk away it's no good i  e no work that i can't with that's what it's saying if you don't play the word in your life if you apply the word in your life you're going to believe what they are you see you see those bad you said you know what i don't feel like i'm righteous right now brian righteous in christ jesus i've been covered by the blood of jesus christ i don't feel justified before god i feel like that god doesn't love and feel like i'm always trying to get god's favor but you turn around and say you know what the word of god says i am justified i've been set apart for god i am saying to five i am walking with jesus god doesn't accept spect of me to be perfect in the sense of perfection like he is there's only one perfect that's god but yet his word says be holy as i am holy what is he asking of us to do what we can to walk in his holiness by the power of the holy spirit our goal is to walk out of holiness and are we going to get there through the power of the holy spirit he gives us the ability to equip enough as to be to walk in the power of the holy spirit to be able to walk in holiness but in the midst of it are we going to become suddenly holy in our actions we are holy in christ jesus because we're saints in christ jesus aren't we the bible calls us saints set apart once for the kingdom of god we don't always act like say we're set apart of saints we are holy and righteous because of christ in us but do we walk it out all the time no but what should we do we should work at believe the gospel when you accept jesus christ as your lord and savior today you want to get more
