The Eubanks

Welcome to the Cross Power Church podcast.

You're listening to a service from our church in Campbell, TX.

We pray this message strengthens your faith and points you to the

cross. Now let's join the service.

Well, good morning. Oh, we almost got everybody to

say that, didn't we? Good morning.

There you go. Say, the more you put into this

service, the more you get out of this service.

If you sit here on your hands and look like the hogs just ate

your little brother, you ain't going to get nothing out of the

service, OK? We are the Eubanks.

We're from a big metropolitan area called Bismarck, Arkansas.

Boy, it got quiet in here quick, didn't it?

Hot Bismarck is down there. Hot Springs.

We we we're there now. Good deal.

We have been traveling. We sold our houses three years

ago or so and we are traveling full time.

You know, God kept telling us go full time, go full time, you

need to be out on the road. We'd stick our toe in that water

and we'd back up and say we did it.

God, he's no, you didn't stick our toe in that water.

We kept doing that. Everything we did failed

everything we tried because we tried.

If you hadn't been, and I'm starting, it's totally different

this morning and I if you ain't figured out in life if you'll

shut up and get out of the way and be still, you'll find out a

whole lot of stuff. Had an old man tell me one time,

if you can't hear God's voice, shut up.

Took me 40 years to figure out what he was trying to say.

We are from Bismarck. We are the Eubanks and I'm

trying to remember what else I was going to say.

We are not here to entertain you.

We are going to sing here in a few minutes.

We ain't your entertainment. We're here to uplift his name

because he is worthy. So you get into it.

Pastor, we didn't even discuss. Do y'all use these pieces of

wood over here or is that just decoration?

All right, let let me tell you, he and I have not discussed this

this morning and I apologize this is my fault.

But he said take liberty. So I'm about to.

I don't care what we're doing. I don't care what we're saying,

and I don't care what's going on in this.

If you need help, but if you need prayer this morning, you

get up here. Your salvation, your need, your

your Jesus mainline is far more important than anything we'll

ever sing. Our whole job with this

ministry. Everywhere we travel, we've got

#1 number one goal. And it is to make heaven as

crowded as possible. So without all that in mind, I

will, I, I'm going to do something else that I never do.

This one right here. Since y'all, how many of have

seen us before? 1 of you put your hand down,

Lonnie. You don't count dear friend of

ours. This is my much better half.

I out kicked my coverage. I'm thankful that you know I

used to make a joke that she drives everywhere we go.

All I'd had to do was hold the steering wheel mash gas in a

brake. Since this happened I set over

and be a passenger Princess and keep my mouth shut.

So I've had people ask did how? How hard did she hit you?

My brother, she didn't touch me or I wouldn't.

Both eyes would be covered. So could not imagine doing life.

Could not imagine doing ministry or anything else without this

one. You just it take me over an hour

to start beginning to explain what all she does for this

family. Would you make her welcome?

This is Jennifer Eubanks. Get you out of the way.

Like I said, we're doing this totally different than we've

ever done. So this one, huh?

Oh, well, you'll know who we are now.

So when you start throwing things at us, you'll know who to

hit. This one is 18 years old.

She graduated high school at 15, ranked number one in her class.

And of course, the fact that she was homeschooled helps that out

a whole bunch. She still hates that joke.

She is an incredible young lady of if.

If I remember and we have time here in a minute, I'll tell you

how her persistence and and her dedication to God is what put us

as a ministry together to continue on down the road

because we we were at a crossroads roads where we were

either going to stop or don't you do it.

She's quick witted too. And and but we're she believes

everything that we're singing. She is into this for God.

She's had opportunities to do other things at 18, and she

could, if she can hide from dad long enough to do it, because

I'm not going to let her. But she believes everything that

we're singing. She's born again Spirit Field,

and we could not be more blessed as parents.

This is Emma Eubanks. All right, All right.

I'm going to get the elephant in the room out of the way.

You ready? She really did marry.

No, that wasn't the that way. Hey, we're supposed to laugh as

Christians and have fun, right? If you can't laugh at yourself,

you call me and I'll laugh at you.

But all right, the eye patch. I'm going to congratulate y'all

because since June of last year is when this happened, y'all are

the second church and group of people that not a single person

made a joke about my eye patch. I'm serious.

I am very serious. There are no pirate jokes.

There hadn't been any. Any jokes like that don't bother

me. I'm retired cop.

I can handle a whole lot more than that.

But what bothered me about that? You go into a restaurant, ain't

nobody saying the thing about it.

You going to a church? They're making jokes and having

fun with it. What are we doing to people

outside of our church that's coming in here?

Y'all need to be proud of the fact that nobody did.

Pastor, You're, you're leading a good flock.

That's everybody's on it. We've had a bunch of people talk

to us this morning. Love meeting you, love meeting

more of you here in a little while.

But that, that's a big thing. And it's not because it, oh,

it's spared my feelings. It ain't got nothing to do with

that, but you bring somebody in. Why would I, as a center

outsider, want to come be a part of a God thing if all I'm going

to do is get hurt? I can get that in a bar.

So y'all, y'all are with me. I like this crowd.

So I'm going to shut up and we're going to sing now, all

right? For Joe that lost his health,

wealth and all the rest and as his troubles added up, he fell

down on his knees and said, Lord, I've still got one thing

that you love for me. You got to count your blessings.

You'll find one if. You drive, count on the Lord,

and watch that blessing multiply.

Those might have, could have, should have been, are nothing

but distressing. When you're down and down, it's

time to count your blessings. How many all are blessed this

morning You might go. Through hard times when you fall

into despair, remember you're surrounded by His blessings

everywhere. It's in a neighbors helping hand

or in the sunshine of a smile. One blessing leads to one more.

You'll be calm for a while. It's best to look at what you

have, forget what you have not, and just learn a lesson from old

job. Give thanks for what you got.

You got to count. Your blessings.

You'll find one if you try. Count on the Lord and watch that

blessing multiply. Those might have, could have,

should have been, are. Nothing but distressing.

When you're. Down and out.

It's time to count your. Blessings 1.

Risen Savior 1. Perfect love one only problem.

One is enough. You've got to count your

blessings. You find one if you try.

Count on the Lord and watch that blessing multiply.

Those might have, could have, should have been.

Are nothing but distressing. When you're down and out, it's

time to count your blessings. Thank you that.

Upset, lost and lone, I was living in

sin. Empty without.

I was dying within. And.

Then I met the Potter and he molded this clay.

I thank God for the changes. He made every drop of this

world. It washes whiter.

Than snow. 1. Such year this garment can hear

and make you home from the cross.

O Mount Calvary to win the stone roll.

Night way. I thank God for the changes he

made. How many are we thankful for the

those changes he made in your life?

A. Blind man can't see, the lame

can't walk again. I've been forgiven for all of my

sins and now the past is far behind me.

I know I've been saved. I thank God for the changes He

made every drop. Of his blood.

It washes whiter. Than snow. 1.

Touch of his garment can hear the naked woman from the cross O

Mount Calvary to win the song roll away.

I thank God for the changes he me.

I thank God for the changes. He me.

Real quick, I know we already talked about our sweet little

Emma. And as her Mama, I'm so proud of

her. She is incredibly smart,

incredibly talented. But at the end of the day, as

her Mama, I'm so thankful that she is willing to step out and

tell others about Christ. And, and she does that and the

Lord has given her a beautiful gift of discernment.

And sometimes that is a heavy load to bear, but she handles it

so well. And for a while she didn't want

to tell us about it because she thought she was being

judgmental. And we told her, you know, if

the Lord has given you a gift, you use it.

And it's not to be judgmental. It's because he's telling you

how to discern what's happening. And so we're extremely proud of

her, but she's going to sing this next song.

And, and I will introduce him in a minute, but this is Terry.

And he wrote this song when he was 17.

And it's a, it's a simple song, but it's so poignant for today

because we all need to just trust the Lord.

If you've given your heart and soul over to the Lord, then

there's no reason why we can't just trust.

But we try to get, you know, get in the middle of all of that and

we make things worse. But she started singing it

pretty regularly when she was 17.

And last year, it was really, it's kind of been her song now.

And for the Lord to take a song that Terry wrote at 17 and that

she could start using as a ministry tool when she was 17, I

love to see how the Lord works. So we hope that you enjoy this

song. It's called Trust in the Lord.

They took the man to Calvary, nailed him up for all they see,

and humiliate him. When they thought that he was

dead and gone, they placed his body in a tomb and forgot about

him. But they didn't know what they

were in for. When the storm was moved, he

wasn't there anymore. He had gone away.

Well, that same spirit still moves around.

He'll pick you up when you're feeling down if you trust in

Him. Trust in my Lord, He'll help you

every day. He died on the Grove to take

your sins away. Trust.

In our Lord, help free from your sin, no problem in life.

It's too big for him. How many y'all know that there's

nothing too big in my life that my God cannot handle?

And if your life's burning down with a heavy load and you feel

as though you cannot go on up a. And the going seems a little too

rough. No problem in life is ever too

tough. If you'll turn to him, just bow

your head and pray before him you're.

Free from your earth. Listen to Set You Free.

And through the blood of Jesus Christ, He is already paid the

price and is waiting for you. Trust in.

The Lord He'll help you every. He died on the to take you sins.

Away trust in. My Lord, He'll free you from

your sin. No problem in life is too big

for him. No problem in life.

Is too big for him. Amen.

I love that song. And Terry didn't expand kind on

what had happened with his eye. But last year was a it was a

wild year. And when you submit your life to

ministry, a lot of times the devil comes at you a whole lot

harder than anything else. And last year, so in June, he

had a stroke in the optic nerve behind his eyes.

So just the nerve, not a body stroke, but it's caused him to

be pretty much completely blind, according to the doctors.

And they say that it will not return.

But I know a healer and it between the two of us, we went

to the ERI don't know probably four or five times last year and

got a lot of new diagnosis that we were not prepared for.

And so I was pretty defeated. It doesn't take much when you

start getting, well, you got this and you got this and oh,

you're blind now in that eye and you can't see and it starts to

add up and it starts to weigh on you even as a Christian, because

I I know that the Lord has it in control, but I wasn't letting

him have control. And so I was reading one day and

I'm going to share this with you.

So this verse is Matthew 1720 and 21.

If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this

mountain, move from here to there and it will move.

Nothing will be impossible. And again, I love how the Lord

works. We were at a church and pastor

gave us some mustard seeds. And I carry this everywhere we

go. And I kind of at first when he

gave it to me, I thought, why is he giving me a jar of mustard

seeds? And I don't know why this is my

reminder to let and I'm sorry, but to let my faith take over my

fear because last year was a lot of fear.

But I got to reading because that verse kind of struck me

funny. You know, we get to we get to

thinking about how small a mustard seed is.

And growing up, it was always, you know, well, you just have to

have this amount of this amount of, and I just thought, oh, OK,

I got to have this tiny amount of faith.

But as I started reading, you know, I, I learned a whole lot

more and I can deep dive into things.

But if the Lord put it in his word, I want to know why.

There's a reason why God is sharing that with us.

So I kind of deep dived and went on this whole thing with a

mustard seed and I realized and I got real excited.

I, I figured out some 4 words and I wrote them in all caps in

my Bible. And I was chasing Emma down

trying to share them with her. She's looking at me like what

are you talking about? But way back when the mustard

seed was absolutely invasive. So when it was in a field and I

don't know if any of y'all farm, it took over.

So whatever you were farming, if there was a mustard seed there,

it crowded out everything. And you know it basically with

the soil, it just dominated it. So nothing else could, could

grow. And so farmers hated it because

they knew that they, they wouldn't be able to control it

or contain it and, or manage it. And so when Jesus was speaking

about having this faith as a mustard seed, at that time,

those readers and those listeners knew that these

mustard seeds were uncontainable, invasive,

dominating, and unstoppable. And so as I started, I kind of

sat there and I pondered that and I thought, OK, all right,

Lord, I get it. I got it.

And I had to do like a a little self check on my face.

So I'm going to ask you what I asked myself, is your faith this

morning uncontainable? Is your faith invasive?

Do you let it invade your entire life?

Is your faith dominating? Is your faith unstoppable?

I had to ask myself that. And I can promise you the answer

was to no. Every single one of those

because we've just been through so much.

And I just let everything just take over and become a negative

Nancy. But my God is bigger than that.

And so this year, and I'm not one of those that like picks a

word of the year, you know, and takes takes that.

But these words stuck with me because if a farmer who knew

that this little mustard seed was not tiny in his book, that

it was what was going to dominate his field, then I can

apply that to my life and my faith.

So I'm going to tell you these 4 words again and just think about

that with your faith. Let your faith be uncontainable,

invasive, dominating, and unstoppable.

I think we could almost change the world if all of us would let

our faith be unstoppable. There's a lighthouse on the

hillside there. Overlooks.

Live scene when I'm tossed it seems out of life that must see

the shin lanes in or out now. I will safely leave the storm if

it wasn't. For that lighthouse.

Yeah. Well, this ship would be known

and I thank God for the lighthouse.

I owe my life to Him, for Jesus is the lighthouse, and from the

rocks of sin He. Has shown.

The light around me that I can clear the sea.

If it was and for the lighthouse.

Where would this? Sure.

Be everybody that lives around us, says Tare.

That lighthouse? The big ships don't sail this

way anymore. There's no use of it standing

right. Then my mind goes back to that

storm, and I went just in time. I saw the light, yes, the light

from that old lighthouse that stands upon me.

And I think for the lighthouse, I owe my life.

To Him for Jesus is the light house, and from the rocks of sin

He has shown the light around me that I can clearly see.

If. It wasn't for the light house.

Where would this ship be? I walked in this morning, heard

him singing that, and I've drove many miles to that song.

Kept me going. In 1970, it was #1 by the

Hensons, and they're modest. They're not going to tell you,

but they got it at #8 right now, so that's awesome.

Hey man, the old is coming back and I'm glad you know it.

It doesn't take smoke and misters and dark house to

worship the Lord, you know, I found he's with me in the light

and he's with me in the darkness.

But them old songs mean something to me.

Amen. They were rolled out of out of

heartfelt stuff and I can understand them.

Some of this new stuff, I don't know what they're saying.

Is that part of getting old? Some of y'all that's older than

me? I mean, it sounds, it sounds

good, but I really don't know what they're saying.

So I can't get a blessing out of it, you know, kind of like

joining in on a picket line. Some of them don't know what

they're doing. They're just doing it.

You know, I'll never forget in Asheville, NC, I talked to some

animal rights activists one time and a guy had a toboggan on and,

and it was summertime and he was out there.

And I said, why don't you come and look at some of these horses

and bulls, how well they're taken care of.

And he said, dude, I could care less.

He said they're just paying me to hold this sign.

I fear there's a lot of churches I'm going to get to preaching.

I got to be quiet. There's a lot of churches like

that. They're just holding the sign,

Amen. But I'm glad I'm holding on to

Jesus, Amen. He's the same yesterday, today,

and forever. His mercy's never change, Amen.

I'm not just holding the sign, Amen.

The cross, This cross I'll that that I'll bear for Jesus, Amen.

Let's stand and go. The Lord in prayer.

Father, we thank you today for the service, and we thank you

today for this offering we're about to receive, that it would

be used to to help this great family get down the road and to

meet the needs of the church and to meet the needs of the giver.

Amen. And we just thank you for your

love. And you said in your word that

you give it back. And that which money can't buy.

Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running

over. You said you would open up the

windows of heaven and pour out things that we cannot contain,

and we thank you for that. We thank you for your love.

We thank you for your mercy. It's in his son's name We do

this. Amen.

Can I get some helpers this morning?

Kids can be dismissed to the back to the nursery and your

classes and appreciate all those y'all give these teachers and

helpers a hand. Amen.

It all right. You know, everywhere we go, no

matter what denomination we're in, no matter what city or state

or anything else, every church has one huge thing in common.

You'd think it would be God, but as pastor said, some of just

holding a sign these days, You know that they all want growth.

They all want visitors to come in.

As long as they don't sit in my seat.

There's never been a good way of telling anybody that that's

tactful. Well, you know, I, I dabble in

songwriting, so I had to come up with something.

So, well, long story, I've been working on a song that might

work for this, but I've only got part of it done.

Is that OK? Is it OK if I do just a little

bit of it that maybe this will this will help?

Well, excuse me, but I thank. You.

Oh y'all already heard that? I did that silliness for one

reason. The guy that wrote that song,

The Chair is named Dean Dillon. Dean is a incredible songwriter.

George Strait himself has written and has recorded 76 of

Dean's songs through the years, and most of those went #1 and

then there's tons of other artists that have recorded

Dean's songs. To my knowledge, Dean only writ

wrote. I could written, wrote, write,

writ. He put pen to paper to one

gospel song that I know of. I've asked Jennifer to sing it

this morning. It's a unique song.

Pay attention to the words to it.

It's about a fictitious a man named Jonas who has two jobs.

He builds Wooden Crosses and he drives nails through flesh.

Listen to the words of this. It's called lunatic, liar, or

Lord. Oh, it took me just to have a

day to make the cross seed bear and the soldiers 15 minutes for

the crown of thorns. He'd wear salmon from Cyrene.

They made him carry the cross as they marched him to the place of

the skull and offered him wine and gold.

But Jesus wouldn't take it. Some great setting free.

Someone turned to me and asked who do.

You believe? Do you take him at his word?

For it's a double edged sword. Is he a lunatic?

Hail, I roar. Well, me, my name is Jonas.

My trade is nails in men, but this one always different from

me. The other one of them with the

first back in his right hand, I looked him in the eye.

The guilty ones cry out for shame, but his they did not lie.

Was too early play for the sunset, yet so dark we could not

see. And I heard his voice cry out.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

We just cast our lots for his clothes, for none of us were

sure. See a little tick?

Hail, I roar. Who we gathered in our room in

our sorrow and despair. Mary rushed from the tomb, said

Our Lord is not there. It suddenly appeared to us with

spike marks on his feet, reached out his hands of blood and love

and turned to them and me, he said.

Now who? Who do you believe?

Do you take me at my word? It's a double edged sword in my

lunar take, Yes. I take him at his word.

He's my shield and sword. No lunar take.

He's my. Hallelujah.

This is an old song and I know a lot of y'all probably know this,

but I'm gonna try to do it. But we were in a church

yesterday that was full of mold and I am feeling it this

morning. And but this song still holds

true because without that blood that Jesus shed on Calvary, I

would have nothing. And he was willing to pay that

price that a lot of us aren't willing to pay.

And so if you know this song, you can sing along.

But it's an old good one, The blood.

The blood that Jesus shed for me way back on carry.

It's. That blood that gives me

strength from now to day, and it will never lose its purse.

It reaches the highest mountain and it flows to the lowest, the.

The blood that gives me strength from day-to-day, it will.

Never. Lose its.

It soothes my doubts and it calms all my feet in that same

man drives all of my tears. It's that blur that gives me

strength from day to. Day.

It will never lose it's power it.

Reaches to the highest mountain and it flows to the lowest

valley. Roar.

Of the. Lud.

That gives me strength from day to.

Day. It will never lose.

It will never. Lose.

It will. Never lose his.

He lies awake there, all alone most every night, looking back

on all of his mistakes. He's wishing through his tears

that he could just go back 'cause there's a lot of things

he'd like to change. He just can't forgive himself

and forgive even though God already did if he can love

someone. And find the good within, in

spite of what they've done, no matter where they've been.

If he can let it go and set the dead and free, if he can keep

forgiving you and me, why can't we?

There've been times I've been so hurt by someone.

Else I didn't want to give a second chance.

I let all the bitterness take control.

And took grace into my own head. But even Jesus said, whoever's

done, no. Wrong.

Let them throw the first storm. If he can love someone and find

the good within in spite of what they've done, no matter where

they've been. If he can let it go and set the

dead free. If he can keep forgiving you and

me, why can't we? He was hated and rejected,

betrayed by those he trusted, even hanging on a cross.

He said Father, please forgive them if he can love someone and.

Find the good within, in spite of what they've done, no matter

where they've been. If.

He can let it go. And.

Set the dead of three. If he can keep forgetting you

and me, why can't we? Why can't?

We, you know, when they dig up precious metals, gold and

silver, they have to clean it and they have to purify it.

Does anybody know how they purify it?

By heat? By fire?

My desire is that he takes his fire and he burns me till there

ain't nothing but His Holiness left in me.

And that's what this song is about.

When I first heard it, I had to do a double take.

You know, we were talking about newer songs and, and dear friend

of ours, matter of fact, Zach's aunt wrote, Melissa wrote this

when I first heard it. I'm like, wait a minute.

I thought I was getting fire insurance.

I don't want to. That's not the point of this

song. We're not talking about literal

fire. We're talking about heavenly

fire. We're talking about holy fire.

And I want him to burn it and I want him to purify me and

cleanse me till there ain't nothing left but His Holiness.

Y'all y'all listen as she sings. I'm so far from perfect.

I am riddled with flaws. I'm not living for earthly

applause. Come and transform me.

Renew my mind. Making me.

Golden. Purely refined.

So set me on fire, consume me with flames, till all that is

holy is all that remains here in your Old Town.

I'm taking my turn presenting my life. 1 sacrifice.

So let it burn. I'm tired of religion and I

refuse to play games. I'm weary from striving and

seeing no change. I long for revival that sets man

free. A true reformation beginning.

With me. So set.

Me on the consume me with flames to all that is holy is all that

remains in your order. I'm taking my turn presenting my

life once I revise. So let it burn.

Burnout the metal, Burnout the. Drawers.

Every ambition I count it has loss.

Lord, I surrender completely to you.

Make me acceptable. Send me on fire.

Consume. Me with flames, to all that is

holy is all that remains. Here in your.

Order I'm taking my. Let's turn presenting my life 1

sacrifice. So let it burn, let it burn, let

it burn. Well, thank you all so much for

letting us be here this morning. We're going to do one more song

and get out of the way. At least that's the plan.

Here's the deal. I can't go somewhere and tell

you how great my God is. Sit here and sing about how my

Savior, what He's done for me and not give you a chance to

meet Him. I may be sitting in a room full

of save people on their way to heaven, names in the Lamb book

of life and every other cliche and biblical term that you can

come up with, and that's awesome.

But he left the 99 for the one. If there is one in here, then

we're going to do this. A little different for me, yes,

maybe normal for y'all. If there is one in here, please

stop everything you're doing. Stop your mind for 30 seconds

and listen to my voice. This world is coming to a close.

Don't let anybody tell you the date, the time, the hour, the

the year or anything else. They're lying.

Just cut it blunt. They don't know what they're

talking about, but it's going to happen and if you're not ready

on that day, you will burn in hell for eternity.

There is no Gray area. It's heaven or hell.

There are churches out there that have false doctrine that

want you to feel warm and fuzzy. Warm and fuzzy will put you in

hell faster than everything you can do.

If you have any doubt this morning of where you will spend

eternity, let's fix that doubt. I want you to leave here knowing

that you know that you know that you know that you're on your way

to heaven. There's only one way to get

there. Came by, you can't go to church

every Sunday and and Wednesday and every other time that

there's no deed that you can do. You can't clean yourself up good

enough to make your way to heaven.

I have had people say, well, I'm going to look, I've still got a

few things. I'm going to clean them up in my

life before. You can't get clean enough to

deserve to get in the presence of God.

He said come as you are. So this morning I'm asking you

to come as you are. There's another group of people

that sitting in here told you they ain't no Gray area.

It's either A or B. So you're either unsaved and on

your way to hell or you are saved by the grace of God and

you are on your way to heaven. To those of us that are on our

way to heaven, we got up here and we probably got on our knees

and we surrendered all and, and we cried our tears and we piled

up everything that we have in our past about that high.

And then we got up off of our knees and a lot of us put about

8590% of it back in our pocket and walk through these doors

expecting to go into battle. Y'all, you don't have to carry

around that garbage anymore. You want to experience freedom

for the first time in your life, you come up here and unload it.

God said, come unto me all year weary and heavy laden, I'll give

you rest. You won't rest.

Some of you need the rest, and I'm not talking physical rest,

I'm talking that spiritual battle that's going on.

And here's the other thing that I need from you see, I've always

wondered why we close our eyes and we got to walk up and that's

embarrassing and that's it and that's it.

Did you know that one step that you do just to come up here and

pray, just to come up here and shed the garbage that you're

carrying around? Maybe just enough to encourage

somebody over here that's not safe to get up and walk down

here. Y'all may do it from where you

sit. Don't care.

I I know several people. Do you know this building ain't

always been here. Why did I say that?

Because the ground means absolutely nothing.

The man made structure that this is in that ain't going to get

you to heaven. This is for comfort.

Same people get baptized and after and we just talked about

it this morning pool and and I told church Christ kid one time

we were talking and he said well I can't get saved.

I said why he said because of baptism in our church is broke.

I said, son, you realize that that water supply and that pipe

is the same one that supplies water to that toilet sitting

over there. There is no holiness in that

water, but we can get some in you as we do this last night.

I want you to think long and hard about where you've been.

I want you to think about your past.

I want you to think about the things that you've done that

you're ashamed of. And then I want you to smile

because the Savior, if you're born again, has cleaned those of

you, Satan, now Satan wants you to remember these.

God says, I've got it. I'll cast it as far as the east

is from the West, never to be remembered again.

If you're carrying around that garbage today, do what Jesus

told you he was going to do. Cast it as far as he says from

the West. Now, I ain't the brightest bulb

in the box, but I can tell you that's a long way that I can't

comprehend. And if he's going to y'all

almost said it. There's another line that I use

that I don't want to offend anybody this morning.

So I'll a buddy of mine has to do with Walmart.

Anyway, the bottom line is this, if you ain't saved, you get up

here and let's get it done. And you can walk out of here

with your head held high, knowing that your child of the

one true king. And if you're carrying around

and if you've got issues, you got needs this morning, you need

prayer this morning, you got something you're dealing with.

Well, I don't know if I got things going on.

I tell you what if you don't know if things are going on in

your life and then you, you do right here, you put your fingers

right here. And if you feel that if you got

one of those, you're going through something this morning.

And Satan is a liar and he's out to kill, steal and destroy.

We're going to do this last song.

And it simply says, no matter what you've done, no matter what

your past looks like, no matter what you've been through, you're

never too broken to belong to him.

As we sing this, you come. The door is open.

Come on in as you are, all you need to bring is what remains of

your heart. I see the ears of fear and pain

on your face, but take a step inner in.

You are safe in this place. You.

Are never too broken to blow. Never too dead, never too far

gone. When you find Jesus, you'll find

your home. You're never too broken to move.

Come find the perfect love that no one is no one.

Is a. Piece so sweet it can't be put

into words. And grace that's greater than

the darkest of sin. Take a step in a ring.

Let the healing begin. You're never too broken to move,

never too net, never too far gone.

When you find Jesus, you'll find your home.

You're. Never too.

Broken. To born.

And we? Too are wounded and defeated, so

we know how you feel. And by the wounds of our

Redeemer we believed. We.

Were here you're never too broken to war you're.

Never too broken to war, never too.

Never too far gone. When you find Jesus, you'll find

your. Home, You're never too broken to

blown. You're never too broken to

blown. Never too broken.

Wow, what a song before we close, before we close we me and

my wife felt led to do something and she whispered there and the

Lord was moving and I want you. Can you sing that song about

trust again for us at closing? You know, the Bible says that we

do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the against

the principalities and the rulers of darkness.

And it that Scripture always intrigued me because it said

it's trying to live darkness is trying to live in a heavenly

place. But when Jesus came, he said, I

came to expose the darkness, the sickness, the pain.

And in Matthew chapter 14, there was a boy that got healed.

Matthew 14 · chapter mention

You know, healing was a big part of what Jesus did.

It's why he came. And in Matthew chapter 17 and

Matthew 17 · chapter mention

14, a boy had came, his father had brought him and he had laid

him at, he laid down at Jesus feet.

And he said, Lord have mercy on my son for he's an epileptic and

he suffers severely for he often throws himself into the fire and

often into the water. So I brought him to your

disciples, the closest ones with you.

I brought him to them. And they've been talking about

all the things you could do. We kind of fall under that

category. We talk about what all Jesus can

do, but when it comes our time to respond, we, we, we want to

turn the lights down a little bit and set in the darkness.

But he said, I brought him to your disciples.

And on this particular day, they could not heal him.

They've been hanging out with the healer.

They had been rubbing shoulders with Jesus.

They had been eating and sleeping with him and, and, and

going around and traveling and ministering.

And yet it says they couldn't cure him, couldn't cast out the

demon. And Jesus answered, how do you

think he answered that? He called him faithless and he

called him perverse, probably told him they didn't have the

faith of a mustard seed. And he said, how long shall I

bear with you? I wonder when God looks at the

church today and we, we raise our hands, we clap, we tell

everybody how God heals and all the things he does and how long

will he bear with us? But it, it goes back right here

to why it didn't happen. And Jesus, he rebuked the demon

and it came out. Can I say that again?

He rebuked the demon, we feed the demon and he said they were

faithless. They said they were perverse and

Jesus rebuked the demon and it came out in the child was cured.

That say it with me that very hour.

Then the disciples came to him privately and he said why could

we not cast it out? Why could we not?

He said this. You can put whatever theology

you want on to it, but it all goes back to faith, the

substance of things hoped for, the evidence of what we cannot

see in Hebrews just described. But he said because of your

unbelief, he said for assuredly I say to you, if you have faith

as a mustard seed, not only did mustard seed take over the

field, but you know when, when I call them planologist, I don't

know the word horticulturalist, they say when you take this

seed, you know they breed seeds. I don't understand how seeds

breed and all that. But they say you can take one of

these mustard seeds and it will not cross with anything else.

It will not produce. So your faith doesn't produce in

your doubt. Faith does not produce in fear.

Y'all are getting quiet on me. And yet Jesus said, we don't see

things in our life because of unbelief.

For surely I say to you, you, if you have faith of a mustard

seed, you will say to this mountain, what's your mountain?

Would you stand to your feet this morning?

I said, what's your mountain? You got a mountain this morning.

Somebody's got a mountain. I want my wife to come down

here. She's she's facing the mountain

of cancer. And the Holy Spirit spoke to my

wife, I want you to come down here with my wife and pray with

her. We feel you're facing something

too, because all of you can look on, but you're facing the

mountain. The question is, have you, have

you spoke to the mountain? What did he say about the

mountain? He didn't say go believe the

greatest doctor. He said to this mountain, move

from here, move from here to there and be cast.

Where? Into the sea.

And he said this. He said in nothing.

Say that with me, nothing will be impossible for you if you

don't doubt it. But you believe.

But yeah, we're so weak Christians, we're scared to

bring it before God. We think that the doctors

already spoken that science already had.

No, he's fixing to rock some world this morning.

I'm not a preacher that sits here and tells you, you come up

here, you'll be healed. But I'm going to tell you, you

can. I don't know if God's going to

heal your situation. I don't know if the demons

you're carrying around are going to come out, but I can tell you

he can. He said we have not because we

ask not. Thanks for listening to the
