Answer: Rebellion against God's authority is NOT a deeper problem than a preference of or desire for fruit instead of and over God. Those who think it is, believe that what is good and what is bad is directly related to whether we keep or break commands, which prevents us from fully appreciating God's triumph with Christ and God's glory revealed in the Christian life (the wider picture).

*GOOD STUFF!* I remember hearing him say rather then making a list of right and wrong....what we should be asking is....Does this HELP or HINDER my pursuit of Jesus! amen :)

I can just imagine if that were David Wilkerson preaching in front of all those people... His messages need to be heard by everyone that call themselves 'Christian', because he definitely opened my eyes since I had been lukewarm for my whole 18 years

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”
“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”

We ARE A PLAYER IN A POWER STRUGGLE BETWEEN DARKNESS AND LIGHT, GOD AND SATAN... Even if we stick our head in the sand and don’t face it.
WE CHOOSE THE POWER WE WANT TO BE “OF”, IT'S NO ONE'S CHOICE BUT OUR OWN. IF YOU DELIGHT IN THE WRONG POWER, IF YOU DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE A RIGHT SPIRIT, OR FREE SPIRIT, YOU WON'T "TEACH SINNER'S IN THE WAY THEY SHOULD GO"... BECAUSE YOU ARE "OF" A DARK SPIRIT. This is where living in Pride and lying are the two BIGGEST POWERS in the “love of darkness”. Like Jesus said, MEN/WOMEN, LOVE THE DARKNESS, DARK POWER.
All demonic spirits can be found in thinking, speaking, acting like a child. Also in Proverbs 6. Also in the problem of CAIN. He was ONE of many... to be offended, betray, look down on, and have, LOVE WAXED COLD. Just like the angel of light that spoke with Eve in the garden and got her to evangelize Adam into being BITTER against God, JEALOUS, and LOVER OF PLEASURE. Talked her into the DEATH APPLE (words) of being SLIGHTED by God. She was the first human, to go down the road of weeping, weeping that God was a with-holder of good. Gnashing, (she should be the one to decide what’s good and evil, not the CREATOR of heaven and earth.) Cain also WAS "OF" EVERY DARK SPIRIT THAT LIVES IN THE HEART OF MEN/WOMEN. Not only was he full of pride and wrong spirits, HE LIED TO HIMSELF. That’s satan’s game plan still today. EAT, DRINK, PLAY, deny God’s voice inside you, TEMPT HIM BY REBELLING, HE WILL CATCH YOU. YOU can do anything you want, you are ABOVE natural and physical law. You can sow the wrong thing YOU WON’T REAP from it.
Cain wasn't confessing like King David... "against you and you alone have I sinned and done evil in your sight"...
King David was “of” the WRONG POWER.’ POWERS are DEMONS ARE SPIRITS, ENERGY. Those careless with the power they love, is why parents destroy their own family, NOT UNDERSTANDING the DARK POWERS they let LIVE in their marriage. That curse their children. Foolish parents USE the powers of darkness, to get what they want. If parents don't have THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION, because they walk in TRUE Godly love with an understanding heart……. THEY DON'T TEACH THEIR CHILDREN TO LOVE EACH OTHER, NOR TO UNDERSTAND THEIR OWN SOUL.
THOSE WHO ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, AND NO EVIL POWERS CAN SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD IN JESUS CHRIST. RM.8. The MANY that Jesus speaks about WHO ARE OFFENDED, blame people, places and things for their problem. THEY ARE DECEIVED. For those who WALK AFTER THE SPIRIT OF LIFE, NO ONE CAN STEAL THEIR LIFE. NO POWERS CAN SEPARATE THEM FROM THE LOVE OF GOD. SO ONLY THOSE WHO ACTUALLY OBEY THE RIGHT POWER, WON’T BE OF THE “MANY” WHO LIVE OFFENDED WITH PEOPLE.
THOSE who care about what spirit they are “of”…Will also FIGHT for their own spiritual integrity before THE GOD WHO SEARCHES OUR HEARTS, OUR POWER.
THE SOUL WHO’S MAIN CONCERN IS TO WALK AFTER THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN JESUS, AND GET FREE FROM CONDEMNATION. THOSE THAT WEEP AND CONDEMN OTHERS… NEVER DO GET FREE UNTIL THEY CHANGE THE POWER THEY LOVE. THEY WILL LIVE AND DIE…. WEEPERS, GNASHERS, for their own
Spiritual slothfulness IN THE ONLY BATTLE THEY SHOULD BE IN…. WALKING AFTER THE SPIRIT OF LIFE.
IF WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT.... We bring great destruction to everyone around us and GLORIFY the KINGDOM OF REBELLION AGAINST GOD. Our own rebellion will KEEP US under THE WRONG POWER. That is why OWNING the power you love and are “of” is crucial. Most people in SELF DECEPTION SAY TO THEMSELVES “PEACE PEACE” when they have no peace and are talking to others with NO PEACE.
IT’S IN CRYING OUT TO GOD FOR A RIGHT SPIRIT AND FREE SPIRIT, that is OUR ONLY HOPE. But again, most people will just LIVE OFFENDED AT OTHERS WHO MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A RIGHT SPIRIT THAT THEY CONDEMN THOSE PEOPLE FOR. NEVER UNDERSTANDING THAT THE LORD IS ACTUALLY USING OTHER PEOPLE, TO HELP US REPENT OURSELVES FOR THE POWER WE TAKE REFUGE IN OURSELVES, to be like REALLY REALLY sorry. “They make themselves a covering, BUT NOT OF MY SPIRIT, and they add sin to sin”.
SINCERELY wanting to OBEY THE HOLY SPIRIT, and sincerely ASKING GOD for HIS SPIRIT, is the only way we CAN TEACH OTHERS IN THE WAY THEY SHOULD GO. BECAUSE we changed the power we loved ourself, and have a story to tell.
Many yes many will be offended, BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE WRONG WAR ALL TOGETHER. They don’t even care if THEY HAVE A GOOD SPIRIT BECAUSE THEY OBEY THE HOLY SPIRIT… so those who don’t really care about that will always look down on each other, betray one another, & not teach others how to get out of the hell of "weeping and gnashing"... again PEOPLE ARE SWEET about the way they weep and gnash, against God and people… if you don't have the spirit, you can't even hear how they are destroying themselves, and you will fortify them in their LACK of understanding their own soul and blaming God and people for where they are at. Why? You still grieve, deny and resist the Holy Spirit and don’t care yourself. This is where many people have the PEACE PEACE ministry to others, but they don’t actually have peace, neither can they help others understand their rebellion against God.
So the MANY offended souls on the earth, YIELDING AND OBEYING the wrong spirit themselves…. help others along the road of weeping... making a bed of sorrow. Those that walk in the LIGHT OF THEIR OWN SPARKS, THEIR OWN CONTROL AND SELF LOVE, are headed for a bed of sorrow, …and may not have learned much at all about the sorrowful meat they have “eaten” all their life. WHY? AGAIN, THERE IS ONLY ONE WAR TO BE IN. OUR OWN PERSONAL BATTLE IN THE FLESH VS THE SPIRIT, and talking to Jesus, getting His word to save us, and carve our heart by. THE RESSURECTION WORDS OF LIFE…
IF WE DON’T WANT to understand the PAY OFF for the dark powers we have loved, we keep going around THE SAME MOUNTIAN. The dog, returning to its own vomit. It takes telling yourself the truth about ABOUT the spirit we are of and WHY we love it, to REPENT, and CHANGE our mind, POWER… or we WILL FORTIFY that DARK POWER IN OTHERS THAT IS DESTROYING THEM TOO.
TIME TO REPENT, BELIEVE, FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT YOUR RIGHT HAND. IF YOU DON'T MAKE JUDGEMENTS AGAINST YOURSELF, YOU CAN'T TAP INTO GOD'S MERCY... MERCY IS THE BY PRODUCT OF OWNING YOUR-SELFISHNESS AND THE DARK POWERS YOU HAVE LOVED.
I know a lady who had an affair. SHE KNOWS WHY SHE DID, AND IT'S THE ONLY REASON SHE WON'T GO DOWN THAT DARK ROAD AGAIN. SHE GOT UNDERSTANDING TO HER OWN SOUL… POWERS… Whatever you don't understand, you will repeat. And if GOD IS A SPIRIT of understanding, and you don't have it, THERE IS A REASON... "if you hold the LOVE OF sin in your heart, the LOVE of a dark power, sin, God won't hear you when you pray". Ps.66:18 if you want out of the dark powers you love, now is the day to face them off, and keep facing them off. They are like the evil husbands we need a divorce from. Romans 7,
We don't have to keep ship wrecking the people's lives around us by rebelling against God’s Holy Spirit. DON'T BE GUILTY of a WASTED LIFE because you were in love with yourself, control, and the power of darkness. You can know those IN LOVE with the wrong power, because they DON'T GET GOD'S EN-GRAFTED WORD TO SAVE THEIR SOUL. The also don’t give it away, even if they do get it, FOR THE LOVE OF, the POWER of pride and lying.
1 John 1 is powerful. Mal. 3 is powerful. Ecc.4 about being a loner, and a three fold chord is powerful. Receiving the ones sent to us, is powerful, to GIVE UP the powers of darkness, and learn to actually LOVE the ones sent to us, BY US OBEYING THE SPIRIT ourself. FOR IN THE END, OUR LIFE IS JUST PROOF OF THE POWER WE DEEMED WORTHY TO OBEY.

It's basically, are you a Christian who loves God with all your heart and mind and soul and strength or a religious moral person who doesn't know God at all

No offense, brothers, but that video title is silly. That's not the point of the message here. More like ''Is Obedience More Important Than Preference?''
