Satan is an accuser. I mean,
he's been with you a long time. And he knows you. He's got your
number. He can tell secrets that you
have. He knows about them because he was there when you did them,
or with you. And when he accuses, he's really
not lying. Because you really did. You and I were really guilty. That's what's so scary. When
you have an accuser and you know your accuser is an eyewitness,
he's got all his facts right. You wouldn't want anybody in
here to have read your mind all day today. Every little thought you, oh
Lord, that's bothering me now. I mean, you wouldn't want anybody
to know your secrets, would you? No. Well, the Lord did. The Lord
does. The Lord knows in your flesh
dwells no good thing. You know, the Lord didn't save
you and leave you. You still have an accuser. The
devil's still there to accuse you. And you got a flesh that's
like a wild ass's colt that can't be tamed. Bucking and snorting
and... snorting, I shouldn't have said
snorting. But the angel of the Lord has
not left you to deal with Satan alone in your filthy garments. He's dressed you all up. There's
no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus. And he didn't
save you to leave you, so he's standing by. So old slewfoot
comes back again to accuse you. The angel of the Lord is there
to rebuke him. Yeah, don't forget that. You're
not alone. We used to sing in the church,
no, never alone. No, no, never alone. It's very true. The Lord has
not left you. I mean, you may, at times it
may seem like that, because when you have a spiritual eye on your
flesh, there's nothing pretty about you or me. It's ugly. It really is ugly. I know none
of you have ever had this thought, but I have. How on earth did
I ever think something like that? Where on earth did that come
from? And I know some of you are going like, yeah, but you're
the preacher. Oh, I know. I am so aware of that. So here's what happened at Calvary.
God took all of your sins off you. Like I would take this navy
blue coat with the little lapel thing off. I'm just playing with
you. And I would take it off and I
would wrap it around. God took sins off of us. Think
about the mess. Just think about the mess, the
goo. Just think about it a little
bit, not too long. Don't concentrate on it too long. Wrapped it around
Jesus Christ and took out his black snake of justice and punished
Christ in your place. And with the stripes of Christ,
you're healed. Amen. You're healed. I know you're
doing things you shouldn't do. And I know Satan is going, look,
look at him. And God, judicially now, listen
to me, judicially, as far as your justification is concerned,
says, I don't see anything. But look at him, look at her.
Look what they're doing. Look what they're thinking. Look
at the lust of their flesh. Charge them. Satan must be frustrated, right?
It must frustrate Satan. He doesn't understand the doctrine
of free justification in Christ Jesus. He doesn't get it.
