Beware of Dog's - Part 4 — David Wilkerson

Father I'm going to be obedient. He's talking now here in this passage about his own personal obedience to the Heavenly Father verses 7 and 8 Psalm 40 then said I lo I come in the volume the book it is written of me.

Christ's Pledge of Obedience

I Delight to do thy will. Oh my god. Yay. They law is within my heart. I've preached righteousness to the great congregation and not refrain my lips. But it says then said I lo I come in the volume the book it is written.

I delight to do thy will. Oh God now look at me, please. This is God's pledge. This is Christ pledge. This is his part of the covenant. Here's part of the agreement. He said I pledge to you father my father.

I Then promised I. It is written of me. He's talking about himself now. I am gonna be totally obedient now folks. This is exactly what happened. Jesus Totally obeyed his father's will. It always has to do with the heart of the will.

He said I have completely Surrendered my will it's written of me. I Am going to obey you heavenly father, and he gave the father perfect obedience in fact in John. Well Let's hold up for there for just a minute, but then Here's here's the wonderful part when when God began to open this to me and I saw it I just broke down and wept and I I've had this inner weeping with joy ever since.

The Holy Spirit Reveals the Covenant

Folks, it's only the revelation of his word That can hold you in these days. I Want you to get a hold of it? I want you to stop for just a minute and ask the Holy Ghost to open your eyes on this. Because it can't be done except by the Holy Spirit.

You have to see it by the Spirit of God folks I I've been praying since I was 22 years old that God would show me the covenant. It's taken years. And I only beginning to see glimpses of it now, but I want you have to see this.

Christ's Obedience Fulfills the Law

That the Lord Jesus makes a pledge of total absolute obedience. This fulfills the law every command has been fulfilled. Everything that God required of his law. That's all fulfilled now in Christ Jesus, but then he goes on to cover you and I our whole lifetime.

The Better Covenant and Christ's Seed

He makes such an incredible deal for you and me. What an agreement he made on our behalf. What a deal. What a covenant. It's a better covenant than the old covenant made on better promises and here's that better promise Psalm 16.

Are you turning? Listen to me. I'm going to make a statement now if on the first hearing you'll think it's error. You said it's too good to be true, I can't believe enough new folks when Jesus was born in the manger.

What did they they sing? Glad tidings. Glad tidings. This is glad tidings. God God says not only father. Am I going to obey? But I'm going to engage not only for my obedience for but for the obedience of all my seed.

All my seat. I'm engaging myself. Not only to fulfill Obedience, not only will I be totally obedient to you, but I am going to engage now. For all my children look it's chapter 16 verses 2 3. Oh My soul thou has said unto the Lord thou art my Lord.

My goodness extended not to thee. What he's saying Lord disobedience this goodness. It's coming to you. Not just on my behalf alone. It's not just for me that I'm obedient next verse but To the Saints that are in the earth and to the excellent in whom is all my delight.

Jesus Provides Obedience for His People

Jesus said I sanctify myself that they may be sanctified. He's saying from now on Lord. I Am providing for the obedience of all my family. Hold still folks. Don't get excited About or don't get upset that I'm preaching error.

Not at all. Remember what Jesus said to to you and to me and to all his disciples you can do nothing on your own. He said without me you can't do anything. But with me you can do all things He said get into the Covenant.

Trusting Christ's Righteousness in Trouble

Depend wholly on me. You just trust in me and you trust in my obedience that I've given to the father. It was a perfect obedience. You can never present to him a perfect obedience in your own. Come simply by faith now and say Jesus.

You have promised no matter what I'm going through. I'm under coming. You said you would take me by the hand father. I'm in trouble father. I've got a lust I can't handle father. I've got problems in my home.

The Lord said reach out your hand put out your hand. I'll hold your hand. He said I will put my fear into your hearts that you shall not depart from me. Because you're under covenant I'll put my fear in your heart.

Don't try to produce it. You just put your hand in mine. You trust my obedience. You trust my righteousness. You just believe accept my promise. Reach out your hand. Lay hold of the Covenant. And he says I'll put my fear in your hearts.

The Covenant Written on Hearts

I will remember your sin no more. I'll write my law in your hearts. I will make you to know me. It's from the greatest even unto the least. God's saying I Know what you're going through, but I'm I made an agreement to be responsible for you He said and my son ratified that covenant with his own blood.

He can't break it because the one who the one who made the covenant father is already at the right hand of the father. It's all finished. He can't lie. Can't you get a hold of this now in your spirit and Hold this up before all the forces of hell and say devil.

I am in covenant. I have not yet arrived. I am still working. I know that if I said I'm going to be held responsible. Because he's going to put a rod to my back. He's gonna do it in love though for many many times I spanked my children, but then I hugged them and I spanked them because I loved them.

Faith, Acceptance, and Loving Obedience

Your very best obedience of the flesh is not acceptable to God but faith gets you into the covenant and Once you're in covenant you obey God not to be accepted, but because you're accepted and Then the obedience you offer to him is a gift of love.

Because you're in covenant. He said if you love me, you'll obey me. How can you not love a father who looks at your failure and your sin? And your battle. It doesn't come to beat you down. Or cast you under the law.

He said I've made an agreement. It's everlasting. I cannot lie. I made an oath to my son and when you're in Christ, I Can no longer I can no more cast you aside than I could cast my own son aside who sits at my right hand.

It's that sure. It's that sure. Now you go to him and say father. This is this is what my despair brought me to in the first place. I just gave up and said you see you either give up and run back to the old life because Trying is going to get you into despair and you're going to give up but folks.

Persevering Under the Covenant

That's where Lord was. He wants you just give up instead of running to him. He said just reach out your hand now take me take my I he said I will hold you by your hand. And I will keep you. I will be responsible for you.

Christ's Resurrection and Covenant Fulfillment

And that's why the Jesus died. And he went into hell and the Lord said it's covenant time. I Made my son a promise. There's no devil. No demon. Nothing of sin or lust can destroy him and he sent the Holy Ghost in and the Holy Ghost pulled him out of hell out of the grave.

God kept covenant with his son and you know when you come by faith You see Jesus is in glory. Now. The covenant has been fulfilled. He's fulfilled as part of the covenant, but now You and I are seated with Christ in heavenly places.

God's Keeping Covenant with His People

That means Clearly that he has keeping covenant With you and me the seat of Christ. I Thank God You know gonna let you go. I Don't care what you're going through Saul Murderer Persecutor the Lord says no, I'm not gonna let you go.

I'm gonna get a hold of you. And once I get a hold of you Paul, I'll never let go stand.
