Transcript
-
Can we all stand for the verse that the Holy Ghost picked up. I'm
-
gonna be reading in Isaiah fifty four seventeen. No weapons that is a formed
-
against these shall prosper. And every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment,
-
how shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
-
and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. I'm thankful,
-
you know, may me see that. And I'm thankful that the Holy coast.
-
I'm gonna follow his leading. And really I'd love to hear a pastor
-
preaching, because i know I'm nobody, but I'm thankful that if it wasn't
-
for the Lord, it wasn't for the Holy Ghost. And I just be
-
like mister Wooton said, the faith sit on now. And but I know
-
that he can be in that voice that sparees not and lifts up a voice
-
like a trumpet and cries alive. And I know he can be that still
-
small voice. Holy Ghost can speak in any way, in any means.
-
He can even use the Samaritans, he can use the talkings and the roosters
-
praise God. He can use whommever he will. Now I'm not saying they're
-
going to heaven. But if God's gonna speak to somebody, and the Christian
-
that's got blood on his head won't warn somebody, the Holy Ghost will send
-
somebody else. And I don't want the Holy Ghost. I mean, we're
-
all I know, we're all replaceable. But I'm thankful that God loves each
-
and every one of us. I'm thankful that we have faith over fear.
-
And I'm just gonna get here in the reading of the words, get my
-
glasses on so I can see kay d it's the Lord. I'm thankful that
-
he give me another year. I have asked. I had a family and
-
happy birthday, Grace, and I know little sister. Ever, as many
-
people got some birthdays as Buch and I don't want to stray from the message
-
because someone asked me. They said, I hope you have a great birthday
-
this year. I'm like, it's only fifty six over antieth and half a
-
century, but why has it got to be my greatest? You know?
-
You know, and but you know, my greatest birthday was when I was
-
born, and there ain't nothing gonna cop that birthday. But in the natural,
-
if I if I made my greatest birthday was my fiftieth birthday, which
-
I was kind of grudguant that I was afraid of all the black broom balloons
-
and over the hill stuff and all the silly stuff and boom and bloom kind
-
of birthday. But it was my best and I think my life. She
-
invited a bunch of family members to church on a Sunday. I had nineteen
-
family members in church on my fiftieth birthday. Now, unfortunately, I don't
-
think hardly none of them came back. But you know why today was my
-
birthday. Grace. I'd be thankful for all my family right here, all
-
my family right out here. I'll be thankful for a pastor. This is
-
a great birthday. This is a great Sunday Sunday. Hallelujah. Oh help
-
me Lord. I'm excited about this message, and I hope it's one of
-
encouragement. And again we can turn to these verses, but I want you
-
to know the Holy Ghost wants you to know Isaiah fifty four seventeen. We're
-
gonna turn to some verses for this message, and I appreciate this off opportunity.
-
Again, Peter, how I appreciate his prayer at the beginning of the
-
service. I want to say nothing more and nothing less than what the Lord
-
would have me to say. And I don't want to take up too much
-
time. And I know some of you need to recoup and be getting ready
-
for the worship and praise for tonight. And I'm looking forward to hearing Brother
-
Jesse preach and just the singing and the worshiping and the praising God. That's
-
what it's all about, was praising God and Hallelujah. Let's turn the songs
-
thirty three and verse well, I apologize I should have marked these pages.
-
I can find them quickly. And the songs chapter thirty three and verse well,
-
bless is the nations whose God is the Lord, and the people whom
-
he have chosen for his own inheritance. Amen. Now, I don't know
-
if you know this, but in Isaiah fifty four and seventeen, if I
-
can find that word inheritance, I believes in there, Oh, it says
-
this, This is the heritage of the servants. Amen. This title,
-
this message today is holiness heritage. Now, and I'm thankful for a holiness
-
heritage I brought in le Let's read this other verse here, so that verse
-
there and songs thirty seven, thirty three, and twelve is plus as a
-
nation whose God is the Lord, and the people who he have chosen for
-
his own inheritance. The other place we'll be turning to is judot me,
-
and it's gonna be Chapter four, verses seven through nine. You brod me
-
for verses seven through nine. For what nation is there so great to have
-
God so nigh unto them? As the Lord? Our God is in all
-
things that we call upon him? You call upon him for? And what
-
nation is there so great that his statutes and judgment so righteous? Has all
-
the law which I set before you this day? Only take heed to thyself
-
and keep thy soul diligently. Least thou forgetting things which thine eyes have seen,
-
and least they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life.
-
But teach them thy sons and thy son's sons. Hey man, aren't you
-
glad for the heritage of the Lord. Your son's sons aren't children of heritage
-
from the Lord. They've got songs one seven low children are a heritage of
-
the Lord, And the fruit of the wound is his reward. Hallelujah.
-
This heritage that we have, maybe some of you are like me, and
-
you didn't have the holiness heritage. And not to embarrass anybody, because you
-
got the heritage out praise God if you're in the house of God. But
-
if you never had the heritage of holiness, can you stand this? All
-
right? Never had heritage of holiness from here? And if I were to
-
say those that had the heritage of the holiness stand, we have the whole
-
house stands. Amen. And I'm not talking about a heritage breed turkeys or
-
heritage chicken. And that's the kind of birds that people want. Holiness should
-
be something that people want. You want a heritage. You want holiness,
-
Ama, And I'm just looking at you know where it says you pass it
-
down from your son's sons. And I think about the prophet Joel. He
-
says, tell your children, eat your children of it, and let your
-
children tell their children and their children another generation. Amen. And we and
-
we read from let's let's turn the song seventy eight, verse six through eight.
-
We're gonna be in this chapter probably most of the time anyway, but
-
we'll just go ahead and turn their songs seventy eight. We're gonna read verses
-
six through eighth, that the generation to come might know them, even the
-
children which be born, who should arise and declare them to that children,
-
that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of
-
God, but keep his commandments. Amen. I don't want to be like
-
that. Next verse, it might not be as their father's. A stubborn
-
and rebellious generation. A generation that's setting out in their heart a rising spirit,
-
is not steadfast for God is past me? Wasn't that far end steadfast
-
standing for the Lord? Amen? I don't want to be in that place.
-
Amen. And I'm always reminded of that generation. It's also mentioned there
-
in Proverbs thirty. I'm gonna turn there just for a moment, Proverbs thirty,
-
verses eleven through fourteen. I don't want to be like this generation.
-
Unfroward generation man, this generation that says this. There is a generation that
-
curses their father and doesn't not bless their mother. There is a generation that
-
are pure in their own eyes, and yet it is not washed from their
-
filthiness. There's a generation of how lofty are their eyes that they're high lives
-
or lifted up. This is a generations whose teeth are as swords and their
-
jaw teeth as knives to devour the poor from off the earth and the needy
-
from among men. Amen. I don't want to be a part of the
-
generation, every generation that thinks the right in their own eyes, or any
-
generation that thinks they can live without God. Amen. I'm thankful for the
-
things of God and all that he does and say and and uh. I
-
was thinking about even as a young ignorant and you and you know what people
-
are watching, but especially God, God is always he's God sees way more
-
and here is way more than those that are watching you. God sees and
-
hears every eye to where he even sees the thoughts and the intents of the
-
heart. Amen. And as a young ignorant, and in some ways this
-
is a little bit hopeful, I was thinking about those two young boys that
-
are in the best ministry, and I apologize I can't remember the name right.
-
Yes, they witness the testimonies, they've heard, they experienced some answering
-
prayers. Amen. And as a law center. Now the boy, I'm
-
sorry. I remember my mother taking me to churches and my grandparents taking me
-
to churches, and even though I was lost, ignorant and didn't know anything.
-
I knew that I knew the presence of God when I was down in
-
that basement Sunday school class and a saying of God. Elderly saint would put
-
the little felt people on the felt board and teach about Abraham and Isaac and
-
Adam and Eve and Jesus and and then I and then I remember going to
-
other churches and it was all about games and board games and hopping and skipping,
-
jumping ropes on the Halloween parties and dating, and I was like,
-
fucking the world. I'm you know, even a sinner can tell the difference
-
when they're out in the world. They see you're dressing different, you're living
-
different, and you're speaking different. You're not cussing, you're not smoking,
-
you're not drinking. Oh, they can be ignorant and blind, amen,
-
but they know there's something different. There's something peculiar about those people. Amen.
-
They might accuse you of being in a call or leadless some of this
-
other silly false accusations, but they they know truth. They know right and
-
wrong. God instilled some form of morality that people can just you know,
-
I know that Isaiah said, well and then to call good evil and evil.
-
Good people know that there's just some things that even some sinners or you
-
know that some of them might not skip. Some of them are true with
-
the word, and some of them look better than some of these worldly Christians.
-
But living that, you know more mortals and God forbid, you know,
-
as holiness, as pure and righteous. But I remember in those classrooms
-
and spending time with my grandparents, and and I'm thankful for my holiness heritage.
-
This is an invitation pastor how yeah, just black and white. I
-
don't think they had colored printers back then. And it's got a picture of
-
my grandmother and Grandpa Banks. And it's just a special invitation from us to
-
you. And it left the location, day and time blank, But it
-
says everyone welcome, and everyone is welcoming. God is, And I'm thankful
-
to have that heritage. I'm thankful of the memories of going to and from
-
church, having church. You know, it was an hour drive to go
-
on Counnel Hill Brotherhood. I remember when we went to church together back in
-
the days, and I remember that hour long ride of going to church and
-
the hour ride going back. I remember going just with me and my children
-
before my wife came and a lot of times I would, you know,
-
my heart would break up, oh that my wife would come. But she
-
always had faith. He believed that one day things were going to change and
-
God was gonna help us. And he has help us a lot. And
-
uh, I just and and her testimony, and I know she's seen three
-
people race from the dead, one being her husband. And she's cast out
-
there as she never had a TV, she never had a cell phone.
-
Take God, I remember the days of landlines. And and she never took
-
medicine. I mean, she just she got to the point where she just
-
trusted and had faith in God. And I'm not saying not to take medicine
-
because it's according to one faith and I don't want to get into that,
-
but her fame, she she she felt led to do it that way.
-
But I remember her testimony as a young Christian. One of the first miracles
-
was her husband getting saved and we're not saved, race from the dead.
-
And they called family in. He was laying there that pretty much giving up
-
on him. They called family in the were playing in their funeral arrangements and
-
everything. And she made a promise. I want to tell some of these
-
sisters that like to sit quiet still, and I expect that I respect,
-
you know, I know, let me be careful here. I want to
-
say that she wanted to mind the Lord. And she said, Lord,
-
if you want me to, I'll get out of my pew. I'll testify.
-
And I worked the altars, I pray for the sick, and and
-
she just pleaded for her husband. And the Lord told her, I'll do
-
it. And you know, even when we break our promises, God keeps
-
it. And I'm not saying she broke it. She didn't. She was
-
a testified warrior. Amen. A lot of people are. I probably thought
-
she was a preacher, you know, her testimony and in diary and and
-
but yeah, she and she worked the altar. She had fir meetings at
-
her home. And but she she got up and she would praise and shout
-
and worship God. And she was fearless man, and she feared God.
-
She always prayed to don't ever let me stop fearing you God. She didn't
-
fear nobody. And I remember as a young child going to spend the weekend
-
with her and my dad. That's when they had black and white little TVs.
-
And he said, well, they're don't gonna spend the night at their
-
grandparents. They need to have something to watch. She don't have no TVs.
-
He thought he was gonna bring those TVs. So she said, dog,
-
you could take those TVs back. There's plenty of wounds to play in,
-
there's plenty of things to do. Leave them in there. So she
-
told my dad. Praise God, my mom feared my dad and my grandma.
-
No, she didn't fear nobody, especially when it came to the things
-
of the Lord, and we shouldn't fear nobody. Amen. Amen. But
-
I'm thankful for the holiness heritage. I'm gonna try to stick in the word
-
here. I can share a lot of things, but going old baby,
-
holy ghost. I want to say nothing more, nothing less than what he'd
-
happy to say. And uh definitely want to talk about the definition of heritage
-
here for a moment. Sometimes we gotta look words up. I'm thankful for
-
the westerns Unabridged English Dictionary. Amen. You think they're modernized a bottle.
-
They're trying to do that to the dictionary, the hymnals about every history book
-
they're trying to read write. And you can't even get on the internet anymore.
-
They're changing that Stuff's all control. The definition of heritage something transmitted by
-
or acquired from a predecessor, legacy, inheritance, or an established way of
-
thinking. Thanks God, how would you think anything else. I don't want
-
to lean on my own understanding. I don't acknowledge him, Amy, let
-
him direct my way. Amen. A feeling, amen, doing, or
-
a person's unique in heritage, sense of family identity. Amen. Just like
-
the devil, he wants to confuse identity. He wants the men to think
-
of the money and women in and just even animals. It's silly, these
-
furs and everything else. But God give us an identity. We were created
-
in his image and his lifness. He established marriage between one man and woman.
-
Hence hence Mother's Day, Praise God, honoring thy father and thy mother.
-
That we do it every day, not just one day out of the
-
year. But you let that be a reminder to the Heathens. Hey,
-
you got a mother, you got a father. So I believe in holidays
-
which are derivative for only days. Amen, it's Christian holidays that we celebrate
-
the birth of Christ. All they want you to think is about fables.
-
You know, That's what Paul told us. You know, in the last
-
days, he wants to get us away from sound doctrin and turn the truth
-
and took favors. That's why they likes I call him the Satan class.
-
Give me anybody that's attended by that, Santa Claus or Easter Buddy or eggs
-
and things like that. And I'm not against culture, culture or traditions,
-
but when it goes against God's youth, God's holiness, I'm sorry. I'm
-
not gonna have no part in it now. But the other thing is heritage,
-
is the saints for the people of God that are called by called,
-
and his heritage as being claimed by him. That's not what he said there.
-
And songs or Isaiah. I don't know why I keep I'm gonna keep
-
reading as long as he tells me to repeat it. That I'm kind of
-
hide it. And there was Isaiah fifty four seventeen. No weapon that is
-
formed against these shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against thee in
-
judgment, thou shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the
-
war, and their righteousness is of me, saying the Lord, right man,
-
be again say it the Lord. I don't. I don't want to
-
ever forsake that heritage. I mean, I don't want to. I don't
-
want to keep you all too long. So I'm not gonna read this whole
-
Psalms at seventy eight. But there's a lot of holiness heritage in there that
-
I believe that God speaks about them forsaken and then keep them and not to
-
forsake. And and I know, as as young parents, you know,
-
we've we've got to, as Pastor as Well said, to keep seeking the
-
Lord. You know, there's a growing, there's a there's a constantly moving
-
forward into faith. There's a constantly maturing and a perfecting. And I don't
-
want to ever reach that point where I'm like, hey, I have to
-
eat up nothing. You know, I'm like to loop warmth church. Amen,
-
oy the time you do need something, when you start saying things like
-
that, you do need something. And I wrote this down to here,
-
I'm gonna leave these notes alone. My children, they were brought up in
-
the church, and I believe Grason is the only woman was from the infant
-
to present that was in church the whole time. But unfortunately, my oldest
-
son and my oldest daughter didn't start going into after I got saved later on
-
in life. In those ten years was without mom being there. But I'm
-
thankful that she is there now. And even their friends noticed there was something
-
different. I remember my son telling me when he was thirteen and some girl
-
that like and said, I never met a boy that not kissed the girl
-
away from herself, and she was troubled. End up. She was one
-
that ended up in the youth shelter pool. A knife on the teacher.
-
You know how things go. And but thankfully God used that as an open
-
door and I was able to teach Bible studying that Monroe County you shelter for
-
many years, for it was closed. But God, our children, our
-
children are their heritage and his parents and moms and dads. And I know
-
they're little and they're gonna try your patient. I remember those days. Sometimes
-
even teenagers can try your patience. Sometimes they didn't say, know it all
-
children? I don't blame it on all? Do Is anybody other than the
-
teenagers claimed it all? Anybody there raise their hair pasts right here. I
-
like you to, Okay, thank God for humbleness a man invented. But
-
now we we're I'm so thankful again for Pastor How and Sister How in their
-
family. I see the fruits in their in their works. You know,
-
the sistant house speaks in in the Sunday school and ask all preaches and even
-
their their children and even their grandchildren. Ay Man, they get in.
-
They may not understand everything. Their little hands are praising God and you know,
-
laying hands and just that's what it's all about. It. You're you're
-
you're putting your you're passing down a herodage. You're teaching them. You're obeying
-
there and Deuteronomy six talking about when they when they rise up, when they
-
sit by the way, and when they at the table, and when they
-
lay their head at night. When you go back and read there in Douteronomy
-
chapter six, I'm not pulling a word for word, but those every prompt
-
from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed, it's
-
important. There's lessons that can be taught, you know, prayers that can
-
be caught, you know, mule time, the beginning of the day,
-
end of the day. Those are important. And I remember as young Christian
-
that was one of the verses I start going on Infrick the rator Deuteronomy six
-
about are children so definitely want to obey. I don't want to be as
-
these generations that are before us. Hearing song seventy eight. Let's look at
-
verse nine. You're talking about fighting a good five parry pastor that keeping the
-
armor on is setting verse nine the children will be from being armed and carrying
-
bows. They were armed. What does it say they turned back in the
-
day of battle? Right, there's no I believe it's in that hyminal,
-
that song turning from the Lord. No coward will who knows the worst?
-
But amen, And we promised the Lord that we were serving till till we
-
die. I hope we will. You know we're gonna, We're gonna.
-
We're either gonna die in the Lord or God forbid dying and be a part
-
of this world. But they kept in verse ten and says they kept not
-
the cousin of God, and they refused to walk in his law. Marvelous
-
things in verse twelve that he did in the sight of their fathers. Amen.
-
And I'm sure the things that they see and it talks about as you
-
read through there, I'm not gonna have time to read through all this.
-
But they they seen many great moods of God, miracles. God fed on
-
me. I mean, I appreciate that pastor's musing that talking about what you
-
eat and the spiritual food, and said in verse twenty four, and they
-
brained down Man upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn
-
of heaven grown corn and heaven God Man did eat angels too, and set
-
them me to the full in verse twenty nine. And so they get eat
-
and were well filled. But He gave them where He gave them their own
-
desire. You know, I hate to be well fed. And I was
-
thinking about this out on the street, pastor, how you can have the
-
best pastor. And I've heard people use this illustration with Jews Jesus, all
-
of Jesus, seeing them over the Jesus, you know, but you're under
-
the teaching the pastor or the preaching. Go to the best church I consider
-
in the United States of America. A Lord, forgive me. I'm not
-
trying to be prouder arrogant to saying that I don't worship my pastor. I
-
love him. God is number one. But you know, when when it
-
comes to the pastor and each one of you, my heritage is my holiness,
-
heritage is under under him and this word, the Word of God.
-
And but honestly, if you can have the right by amen, you have
-
the right pastor doing the right church, God forbid fall away, don't do
-
it. I mean, if you got to pray for the fruits, meet
-
for repentance. If you can't repent, you better pray for the fruits,
-
meet for repent. Pray to God will help you repent. Pray for humbleness,
-
you know. I just I don't want to ever be part of that
-
following away, but people can't and people do. One of the co workers
-
I take to work with me, I need to be careful because I don't
-
want embarrassing because I believe God's gonna save that man. But you know,
-
he he don't even believe in the Word of God. He believes it's a
-
made up revision. But yeah, he'll tell me the ark of the covenants
-
of battery, I mean the pyramid. He's all the angels are aliens.
-
And just I mean, you talk about perception, a strong delusion. What
-
kind of reminds me of But he claims to be a realist. If he's
-
a realist, he really know that God is real man, how could we
-
not know that God is real? But uh, anyway, let's not forget
-
our holiness heritage. I was thinking that without it, you know, our
-
children would be lost. And what I was getting ready to say earlier about
-
my children is they still there's there's some things that they don't see, but
-
I see some values that I instilled in him that they still hold you and
-
they not hold on to God, but they there's still some morals and values
-
that they learned in the church. Praise God, you trained your children up.
-
I'm I'm I'm banking on these things. God will pull them back into
-
the fold and save their souls and that they'll return. And there was another
-
verse about children and the heritage. But here in last verse here and I'll
-
be wrapping up here the Psalms one hundred and nineteen and eleven. Thy testimonies
-
like testimonies. Hey, we got the old and new testimonies right here.
-
And man, when we got the testimonies of each and every one of you,
-
man, I've taken as a heritage forever. These testimonies are heritage forever.
-
For they are the rejoicing of my heart. And we need to rejoice
-
and be thankful for the heritage that we have. We may not understand some
-
of the pastors preaching and exhortation and and some of the things that he does
-
and the fight, the good fight and faith. You know, he hears
-
babbling spirits and the enemy is attacking because the devil, if any if the
-
devil hates anybody more than anybody, I say pastors on the top of the
-
list. Amen, because he sees what Bethel Holiness Church is doing. He
-
sees the heritage and the legacy that's being laid in the foundation. Amen for
-
others to following and to come to the knowledge of the truth. And I
-
don't want to ever forsake that hair dye. Amen. You can say what
-
you want, and you may not agree with certain methods and certain terms.
-
And and I know a lot of times things go over my head pastors,
-
but I'm still learning. And then and and but I don't want to ever
-
take just because I didn't understand something or something hurt my feelings. I don't
-
want that to be an excuse to sit quietly, you know, because it's
-
because God is watching, you know, He's speaks, he speaks a spokesman
-
for God, and it's God. I mean if he were to say something
-
contrary to the word of God, and then that might be one thing.
-
But he's not right, and it's about God and it's not about what other
-
people are doing. You can watch him out of the quarner yard and you
-
know, I've seen some people like you know, they're looking around. I
-
know probably everybody's been guilty of looking around. And sometimes I'll be looking for
-
my daughter. I'm guilty. Ofttimes I'll be looking for my daughter. I
-
can't see her, and I'm looking over whatever verse. Yeah, getting in,
-
I'm looking for my son. Better not have been going to the rest
-
of you, Amen, and you know, or my wife. And so
-
I'm thankful that get in and stuff. Don't worry about what other people think,
-
Grace, don't don't worry out. You know, Oh I'm not good
-
at It ain't about being good enough. This is He's good enough. Give
-
him the praise, give him the glory. Words is God, and then
-
he'll help you to be good enough. And that's what it's about a man,
-
about praising him, serving him, being on vis it to him.
-
I mean, talk about jump food and and God will help him. But
-
you know, you want spiritually fed. This is where you're gonna get You
-
go out them darts and the minute you flip up in your phone, or
-
you turn your raid on or your computer, or just out Walmart. I
-
don't think Walmart employees. You're hard workers. But you went to see the
-
War. They say you need the holy ghost to go to Walmart. I
-
can't you need holy ghosts to step out them dogs. I don't care if
-
it's Walmart anymore. You can't go to the grocery store, you can't go
-
to anywhere. Sometimes you can't even go to the each of the parties your
-
job. I mean, I've heard Brother's testified. I've been there. All
-
you got that rap music and rock music and country music. And what are
-
they always singing about? Cheating and drinking and doing drugs, against authority,
-
against God and all they might profess. They know God, I know people
-
I work with they do. I won't get nobody in trouble. But there's
-
people out in the world that do drugs, drink sheat, and do all
-
kinds of evil things that they think they're Christians. Now what kind of where
-
they get their heads? They don't get it from God. They didn't get
-
it from his truth. I need to suppose this. I love eat and
-
every one of you, every family. To me, you're my heritage.
-
What's left for my heritage? What's left of my life? You know I'm
-
not promised tomorrow. I know none of us have really promised tomorrow even now.
-
Don't you know it's a little baby they're going in the world. But
-
I just, uh, don't forsake your family. I mean, you got
-
heritage, got holiness. What more is there in life? And we need
-
this, We need Jesus every day, we need we need God's presents.
-
The Holy goes. There's a holiness heritage that don't don't let it go,
-
don't let it slip, don't backslide, don't get it. Look more,
-
don't be cold. And as we all stand, well, get things this
-
service and yeah, you know when when you get time today, read that
-
Isaiah fifty four and seventeen, as Holy goes, and remember what Pastor said,
-
the harmor of God. You need the armor of God on that God's
-
trying to tell us this ain't And as Pastor will said, this ain't our
-
first robeo, this ain't a new We're always gonna I don't know that we
-
don't want to get sick. Sickness comes problems done, trials and battles.
-
The day we died. I remember my grandmother when couldn't go to church and
-
broke her heart. Pastor she couldn't drive the church. You get old,
-
you can't do the things that you want. Excuse to do, the thought
-
of losing my wife or her losing me. I want to, I want,
-
and you lose a spouse. You gotta remain strong and stead fast in
-
the faith. Ain't time to run, ain't time to back up. You
-
gotta never give up. Did y'all get up? He lost ten children,
-
asked he lost his well, he didn't lose his integrity. He didn't curse
-
God. He's got every people cursed God and stubbing her finger right, He's
-
kept his integer. I want to keep on tagert. I want to be
-
perfect and upright, one of these fused evil and fears God. And uh,
-
I know we can, we can. We can reflect on our memories.
-
I know Memorial Days coming up, and just didn't have anything to do
-
with Memorial Days. The way it comes to mind of saints gone by.
-
I'm truly thankful for Mecca hold in this journey. This is your herintage,
-
back your pastor pray for sister, how I've passed, How pray for these
-
children? You know you're not out of my kid. The enemy wants to
-
break up homes and he wants to break up parage. He wants you to
-
get mad at your children and does not spend time with I'm guilty of that.
-
I'm living the consequences. But you know what, I don't. Thank
-
God he's saved and he forgave me. But just because you gotta live with
-
consequences, it's not a time to I'll give up, get mad and bitter
-
and unforgiving. I have three children. Well, I'm sorry, I I
-

-

-

-
of hurt if you don't trade him up and down in the way that you
-

-
going against son and father against daughter in law and the family fighting, and
-
I've been through that, it's horrible, and I know many of you have
-
been through families fighting and lost family. Pray for them, our love our
-
enemies, and pray for them that dislike will use us to persecute us.
-
Pray for our fellow in ploueens. Pray for the loss, and then pray
-
for one another. You see a brother slipping or a sister slipping up,
-
flip them up. Amen, walk on that enemy. I love that children's
-
song. Pick your father up and pick your sister out. Ah, tread
-
down on. Put your foot on that enemy. Keep him under your feet,
-
not on your shoulder, not in your head. Man, you gotta
