Declaring war on the New World Order.
TruthRadioShow.com And welcome to the Dan Bedonity Show on TruthRadioShow.com And welcome to the book of Philippians, chapter 3, in our in-depth comprehensive study of the Bible So guys, before we begin, like always, we do a Bible study approach, very important to do.
So let's pray for wisdom and understanding.
So Lord Jesus, Yeshua Messiah, we come before you and ask you to please forgive us of the individual sins that we've committed today, Lord, that you can forgive us and wipe us clean with your precious blood.
And we love you so much.
And Heavenly Father, we come before you, right before your throne, to ask you to give us the Holy Spirit, the divine Holy Spirit, to have Him write your word upon our hearts today, in this case, Philippians chapter 3, to give us divine wisdom and knowledge and unlock all the mysteries and the context and your wonderful scripture has to offer us.
And we ask you to pray for everybody that's going through any kind of problems, That you can comfort them and give them hope and heal and them and everything else and we love you and we also pray for you to protect us against all from all the forces of evil.
And we love you so much Heavenly Father with all our hearts and souls.
In your mighty name we pray.
Amen.
So we read the Bible in context because context is key and let the scripture interpret scripture.
So, um, like we say all the time, don't take our word for it.
Read it for yourself.
Don't take anybody's word for it, actually.
Read it for yourselves.
So, if you've got a Bible, open it up to Philippians chapter 3.
And, yeah, Paul's continued letter to the Philippians.
So, awesome stuff, man, that we've been learning in this series here.
So, uh, Philippians 3, uh, Paul says, Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord.
And remember, this book is about encouragement.
He's, uh, trying to bring encouragement to his fellow apostles and his bishops and the people around him.
You know what he's saying, right?
Finally, my brethren, and by the way, guys, if you missed chapters 1 through 2, I would just, uh, stop right here and go back and watch them so you can catch up what's going on.
Uh, so anyway, finally, my brethren, Rejoice in the Lord, to write the same things to you, and me indeed is not grievous, but for you is safe.
So, he says it's not grievous, in other words, it's not a hassle, you know?
So, beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
So, like always, I don't know what concision means.
So, what we like to do here is like, and I say this all the time, if you don't know what a word means, go look it up.
Very important to do that.
Try to get the Bible definition, because words change meaning over the years.
So, concision is a division or schism, a faction or sect of, or separation.
So it sounds like a clique to me, you know what I mean?
So, basically in a family, right?
They call them cliques, you know?
Like, you go to a family reunion and there's just like a certain few of them staying together, or they gather together a lot in the family, you know, just certain members of the family gather together, and not invite you.
Stuff like that, you know what I mean?
So, it's a faction or a division scheme, you know what I mean?
So, Paul's saying, beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
It's a division scheme of faction, basically.
You know what I mean?
Like I said, cliques.
In modern day terms, we call them cliques.
So, I'm warning people about... Here's the thing, too.
In the modern day era, we have these people in our churches.
They're in the ministries, and most of the new ages and everything else, and they're infiltrators.
Or just regular people who like to backbite, like talk bothers.
You know, start division in the church and everything else.
Gossip and everything else.
That's where it goes.
So...
For we are the circumcision which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
And you shouldn't have confidence in the flesh.
And it should be in the spirit.
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh, if any other man thinks that he has the whereof we, uh, he, I'm sorry, might trust in the flesh I am all.
So he's not saying don't have confidence in what you don't, you know, and then have confidence, uh, you know, just say going to the gym, whatever the case.
Uh, I don't, you know, he's not really talking about that, but I'm just saying, um, we should have confidence in the spirit more than the flesh.
And you know, trust me, don't get me wrong.
It's great to have confidence in yourself, uh, to do things and, you know, have accomplishments and all that stuff.
But remember, it's in the spirit that's more.
Have confidence in God more than yourself.
So circumcised the eighth day of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, in Hebrew of Hebrews, as a touching law, a Pharisee.
So a concerning zeal purgatory, Persecuting the church, touching the righteousness, which is the law, blameless.
Which is in the law, then.
So, we talk about it all the time, you know, people say, well, the laws are abolished, the Ten Commandments are abolished, and all that stuff.
No, they're not.
I've went over this a million times already, since the book of Matthew.
So, we all know that grace saves you, not the law.
But, however, grace is not if we transgress the law.
That's what sin is.
The definition of sin, 1 John, is transgression of the law.
So, if the law is abolished, we need transgression.
You know what I mean?
So, yeah.
But what things were gained to me?
Those I counted lost for grace.
Yet doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win in Christ." Where dung is poop, you know, it's crap, literally.
So, basically, they're coming to, like Paul, for example, so, coming to Jesus, they lost everything.
So, Doubtless, he says, I count all things but loss for the excellency of knowledge.
So, yeah, he lost it all, but he's gained the excellency of knowledge of Christ.
Which is worth more than any earthly treasure, right?
And he's saying, I have suffered the loss of all things.
I lost everything.
He had a great job in Rome, Paul here, when he was Saul.
Well, not a great job, I should say.
He had a good paying job, whatever the case.
But, it wasn't great because he was going around murdering would-be Christians.
But he says, I count all that stuff as dung.
It's crap!
That's exactly what he's saying.
Back then they called crap, dung.
You know what I mean?
So, the S word.
Yeah, that's what they called it, dung.
So, all that is crap.
All the stuff that I have lost, whatever, it's crap anyway.
Because...
Gaining excessively in the knowledge of Christ is more better.
In learning to... You know, if you really put it this way, right?
All the earthly stuff we have caught, right?
Cars, house, whatever the case you got.
Even if you were to hit the powerball tomorrow to win millions of dollars, whatever the case, or a billion dollar jackpot.
And you got everything you want, right?
Is all that worth more than the knowledge of Christ?
Absolutely not!
Absolutely not.
Because Paul is saying right here, and Paul was very well off, okay?
Basically, he worked for Rome and all that stuff.
He was very, you know, he got paid.
Obviously, he got paid good being part of the military, whatever the case.
So... Yeah, plus going around executing Christians, whatever the case, which was wrong.
But, yeah.
But all the stuff he had, he said, it's all done, it's all crap.
Like, we might enjoy our cars we have, we might enjoy the houses we live in and everything else, and the clothes on our backs and all that stuff.
Or your nice new iPhone if you have one, whatever the case.
But you know what?
Eventually it's going to turn to crap.
And technically it is crap because it's dumb.
You know, because the knowledge of Christ and things of heaven are far greater than anything we could produce on this earth.
And at the end of the day, it's crap.
But, you know, the Lord provides us these things to live and everything else, which is great, it's a blessing.
But, when it's compared to what he's trying to say, compared to, he's not saying that it's bad to have these things, stuff like that, no.
But he's saying compared to the things of heaven, the knowledge of Christ, that alone is worth more than any money or any possession in the world.
And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law.
Again, why does he talk about the law?
If the laws were abolished, you dispensationalists out there, Oh, the laws were abolished!
No, they were not.
but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.
So that I may know him in the power of his resurrection, in the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.
So that's powerful.
the power of his resurrection.
That he's, you know, because it's just, when you talk about the resurrection of Christ, it brings up so much.
Overcoming death.
Getting the keys of Hades.
Fulfilling a promise for thousands and thousands of years before he came into flesh.
A promise that the Lord's made since the book of Genesis about the coming of Christ.
And the promise of him returning for us.
Anyway, verse 11, "...if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead, not as though I had already attained, whether were already perfect, but I follow after, if that I may apprehend, that for which also I am apprehended according to Jesus Christ." And in, you know, prior chapters and all that he says, he's a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
And it's not in a bad way.
In a good sense, he's talking about, yeah.
And attaining, when he's talking about attaining the resurrection, that means attaining salvation.
Jesus died for our salvation, right?
He was the blood of the Lamb.
The final Lamb sacrifice.
That's what we attained.
That's what Paul attained.
We all attained that.
We all attained the resurrection.
That's the promise of salvation.
That whoever believes in Him, right?
John 3.16-18 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.
So, you know, forgetting about the things in the past, whatever the case, and reaching forward, which was before.
Pressing forward, you know what I mean?
And in other words, you know, because we've all done things in the past, bad and good and all that stuff, but you know what?
It's in the past.
Our goal is for the next, you know, keep pushing for Christ, keep pushing the ministry.
Regardless if we have failed in the past, done bad things in the past, or whatever the case, any of the negatives, whatever the case, just keep moving forward.
And he says, I press forward toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
And what's the mark of the prize?
Of the high calling of God, right?
To do the will of God, to do the work of the Father.
As I'm doing here, and most of you are doing here too.
And you know, it just makes the Father happy when we're out there preaching and we're out there teaching the Word of God through the Holy Spirit.
and let us therefore as many as be perfect be thus minded and if anything you be otherwise minded God shall reveal even this unto you so God will reveal it to you so let us be perfect But dust-minded?
And let me see what dust-minded means.
Yeah.
Oops.
And I say this all the time, guys.
If you don't know what a word means or anything like that, just go look it up.
And it seems like to be heavy-minded.
So rather earthly-minded.
And let me see.
Unheavenly-minded.
Too heavenly minded, I'm sorry.
Spiritual maturity.
So, alright, so heavenly minded.
Keeping focus on the things of the Lord.
Keep our focus on heaven.
And again, let us therefore be as many, be as perfect, but thus minded.
In other words, like, keep your eyes on the prize.
Keep your eyes on the goal is to obtain heaven, right?
Keep your story, like Jesus said, store your treasures in heaven and not in the earth.
Your mind, think of and want the things of heaven and not of the earth, right?
Stuff like that.
And if anything, you will be otherwise minded.
God shall reveal even this unto you.
Nevertheless, where to you, we have already attained.
Let us walk by the same rule and let us mind the same thing.
In other words, think the same thing, have one accord, that we talked about in the past.
Have, be, and love one accord.
So we've already attained salvation through Jesus, and let us walk by the same rule.
You know, if you want to be a Christian, you know, act like a Christian, walk like a Christian.
Don't just talk the talk, you need to walk the walk.
And brethren, be followers together of me and Mark.
Them of which walk so as you have as an example.
So sorry, I buffed that up here.
So one more time.
Brethren, he says, be followers of me and Mark.
And now he's not saying to glorify him at all.
Paul is one of the most humblest people.
He's not saying to worship him or anything like that.
Some people take it out of context.
But he says, be followers together of me.
You know, the people that he's teaching, like he's teaching us now, right?
Be followers of him.
Like in, for example, he's saying.
Not to worship me or exalt me or whatever, but in Jesus.
And he's talking about him and Mark at the time, which said, walk as you have us for an example.
For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you, even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ.
So many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you, even weeping, the people who are crying.
So basically he's talking about infiltrators, like we just saw in the chapter, right?
Do we have the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the constitution, infiltrators and all that?
So you're saying, for many walk, right?
There's many people in the faith.
And even to this day, we all know this.
In our churches, in the ministries, whatever the case.
For many people walk, claim to be Christ, right?
Of Christ.
Whoever I told you often, you know, remind you of all the people, you know, the dogs and all that stuff, right?
And now I tell you, Even weeping.
That many are the enemies of the Cross of Christ.
So I'm sorry, I misread that earlier.
So it's not the people weeping.
He said Paul is weeping right now.
He's crying.
Because he's like upset because that there are people in the ministries out there claiming to be of Christ but they're not.
They're devils.
So he says, I'm telling you right now as I weep, because he's upset about this, that there are enemies at the cross that are within their own groups, whose end is destruction, whose God is literally Billy, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.
So all they care about is earthly things.
Possessions, whatever the case, right?
Whose god is that belly?
So, what's that mean?
Is it food or whatever?
No.
Whose god is that belly?
In other words, the things that they desire.
They want.
That's their god.
Whose end is destruction.
And it leads to nothing but destruction.
With these people.
Now, in the modern day churches, most of these people are in secret societies.
They're New Agers.
Universalists.
Right within the so-called Christian movement.
When I say so-called, I'm talking about the 40,000 different denominations of Christianity that are not supposed to be like that.
For our conversation is in heaven, from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
So our conversation should be about heaven, they're saying, right?
And he's saying, and when also we look for the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Who shall change our vile body?
And this is Paul humbling himself.
Our bodies are vile.
They are.
Our hearts are evil and greedy.
I'm sorry, our hearts are evil and dirty.
That's what the Bible says, right?
That it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body.
And according to the working of Werbe, he is able to subdue all things into himself.
Is take authority over something or someone.
Kind of thought that but yeah.
So we want to double check that.
So who shall change our vile body?
Who's going to change our vile body?
Right?
That it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body.
And according to the work it did where it be, He is able to overcome all things unto Himself.
So, who's gonna change our vile body?
Jesus Christ.
That's who's gonna change it.
And through Him, He is able to subdue all things unto Himself.
In other words, He cleanses you.
He makes you whole again.
and he saves you.
So only 21 verses in this chapter today.
But, um, yeah, it's a very valuable lesson to say, Hey, you know, we need to look at the bigger picture.
You know, God will provide us, you know, things we need jobs and money and, you know, house and all that stuff.
Right.
For food and all that.
So, don't be like the Bible says, the birds don't worry about what they're gonna eat tomorrow.
They know the Father's gonna provide.
Have faith in the Lord.
He'll provide, but look for your ultimate goals in heaven.
You know what I mean?
Look for your ultimate goals in heaven, you know, the endgame, so to speak, the finish line.
