  1. You're listening to the Anchor Faith Church message podcast

  2. with our senior pastor Earle glisten, enjoy the message.

  3. All right. Well, we're in that.

  4. We're in love a men. Are you in love?

  5. But you never said I love you. Amen, we are in love tonight.

  6. We're going to talk about loves proof.

  7. Let me define proof real quick. In the Webster, dictionary

  8. Merriam-Webster Dictionary. It's the cogency of evidence

  9. that compels acceptance by the mind of a truth or a fact.

  10. All right? It's something that induces

  11. certainty and or establishes validity, it's evidence

  12. operating to determine the finding our judgment and so it's

  13. it's is this is this evidence that comes at people like that's

  14. it and soul of proves itself in the world it gives proof of

  15. itself and so we're going to discover that tonight.

  16. Because you know, we are taking the time to understand the love

  17. of God. So tonight is a place that I

  18. wanted to bring us two in this series.

  19. There's another place but we'll just have to wait till 2021.

  20. But we're going to get to this place and I want us to deal with

  21. this place. So we're going to go ahead and

  22. kind of open it up tonight. You know, among those that what

  23. we would consider in acre-feet church those that are solid And

  24. committed because to come to a midweek service.

  25. You know you're doing more than just coming to Sunday alone and

  26. so, it really kind of starts with what you what you know your

  27. midweek service is kind of like your core members, right?

  28. And so if it doesn't start with us, then guessing ever going to

  29. get it in fact, guess won't get it.

  30. And the world's not going to get it, the world is only going to

  31. accept, you know, the traditional thought process

  32. which is a truth but it can't It didn't bring you all the way

  33. through. Where are all the benefits of

  34. God's love, which is really just as nature.

  35. And that we have. As children of God, we get to

  36. experience because you know, basically is a ticket out of

  37. condemnation and death and he'll and it'll say ticket straight to

  38. heaven one side. I, you know, God love me.

  39. So I don't have to die and be in the Lake of Fire and that's the

  40. scope of his love, right? But as loves way bigger than

  41. that and he wants to demonstrate it.

  42. So let's go to our calculator. He texts, right?

  43. Matthew chapter 15, verse 3 when I say key text on love.

    Matthew 15:3

  44. But where we start out at it says and he answered and said to

  45. them, why do you yourselves transgress the Commandment of

  46. God for the sake of your tradition?

  47. So a lot of times we have traditions in our mom, what we

  48. think is God or how God is and come to find out, maybe he's

  49. not. Hmm, Brian.

  50. Do me a favor, look up in Acts and give me the reference where

  51. it is. Priscilla and Aquila dealt with

  52. a Polish, right? And he said, they showed him a

  53. more clear way, right? I know it's in the book of Acts

  54. because it was just before he went to the church in Ephesus.

  55. When you get it, raise your hand.

  56. So I can see it. Then I can tell them back there.

  57. I want us to see it. You know, we know things

  58. concerning God, aren't you? Glad we know things, and let me

  59. just say it this way, the revelation of God is

  60. Progressive. Meaning God starts us with

  61. Truth. But it's not exhaustive.

  62. So you know, we continue to gleam and grow about it and you

  63. have to understand that when we were born again, our spirit man

  64. Was Made Alive unto God, right? We became a new creature in

  65. Christ. Then the Holy Spirit came to

  66. live on the inside of us for the express purpose to train us.

  67. Not just to Bear witness with our spirit world.

  68. John of God that is one aspect. But also to teach us to goddess

  69. and the truth, to disclose things to come to cause things

  70. to come to our remembrance because, you know, we gonna get

  71. in some situations that we need to know.

  72. Like, well, what's God saying about this?

  73. Remind me, what I'm supposed to do in this situation, right?

  74. And so once our spirit man is Made Alive, we bring into the

  75. life of God, our own thinking, and that has to be renewed to

  76. the word of God. So that's why Peter Says, you

  77. know, we need to receive the engrafted word of God which is

  78. able to save our soul and then it's the since desire, the

  79. sincere milk of the word so that we may walk grow by, what is it?

  80. Acts 18. 26. Pull that up to see if they're

  81. correct, acts 18 verse 26 because I want us to see here

    Acts 18:26

  82. that you know, we speak on a lot of different levels here and you

  83. know, we can't cover everything specifically.

  84. So here it is. And he says he began to speak

  85. out boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard

  86. him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God

  87. more accurately, which says this Apollo's, who was at eloquent

  88. speaker. Okay, and they asked him, they

  89. said now, you know, who you sent her ways, John the Baptist so

  90. that was repentance. Okay, they're like this is

  91. great. But now, these two people sent

  92. under Paul and Paul preached on the kingdom of God and things

  93. concerning Jesus, all right? This is clearly communicate in

  94. Acts chapter 28 and Acts chapter.

    Acts 28 chapter mention

  95. Another chapter 20, I can't remember his 21:22, he Glick.

  96. Clearly says, this is how I came and preached the kingdom of God.

  97. And things concerning Jesus and he says it twice in the 28th

  98. chapter. So we know Paul's message was

  99. the same message, Jesus. He was preaching the kingdom of

  100. God. Okay, well, Apollo has preached

  101. repentance, but a Priscilla and Aquila and if you take this to

  102. the next chapter 19, you'll see that policy is going to show up

  103. and he's going to start preaching on the kingdom.

  104. If you read the scripture so that means there's something

  105. that Priscilla and Aquila were able to show him.

  106. Contextually about scripture that he's like that makes even

  107. more sense. That's even clearer.

  108. And I've done this in the past my mom's down here.

  109. So I'll pick on her. Mom, give me your glasses real

  110. quick, so I've said it in the past and the past that, you

  111. know, when we put our glasses on, right?

  112. It is to correct a lens. You hear what I'm saying?

  113. So again you, we put this on so we can see things clearer.

  114. Now, my eyes aren't like my mom's.

  115. I can't see anything right now so I'm sure you're seeing

  116. exactly what I'm saying right now with your glasses on but

  117. It's there. It's not that I could, I could

  118. see with her glasses on everything was really blurry, so

  119. I could move or I needed to but the men I took them off.

  120. I could see clear same thing. Now, the middle I gave Mom her

  121. glasses back. She can see, I'm assuming what I

  122. can see now. And prior to that, she saw what

  123. I saw in her glasses, so it's not that she couldn't see me if

  124. she took them off right now, it's not like she couldn't shake

  125. your hand but it's pretty. It's unclear, right?

  126. And so you can move through life.

  127. Life with things of God's word to navigate and not die.

  128. But you could get it clearer. And we've seen this with TVs,

  129. have we not? I mean, you know, you know TVs

  130. do you know, they were tubes and it was black and white had all

  131. the snow but now hasn't that picture become more clear.

  132. I mean, it's just amazing and some movies that I used to watch

  133. on one TV when you put them on one of those 1080s or 4K ones.

  134. Now, it's almost like it don't even look the same.

  135. It looks odd because it's so So clear.

  136. I feel like I'm actually watching a live stage

  137. performance of some of it sometimes and it's just weird to

  138. my mind because it's so crystal, clear, right?

  139. And so, this is what we should Endeavor to do.

  140. Anytime we come together in the body is not sit back and say, I

  141. know. But say what?

  142. I know, Lord continue to make things even more clear, because

  143. the clear things are the easier it is for you.

  144. To see and navigate in life, okay?

  145. I don't want to go through, you know blurry.

  146. You know, I want to be able to go through with more than

  147. perfect vision. You know, I mean I want to be

  148. able to see beyond what I can see now which is what the Holy

  149. Ghost to do. He'll move you in the things

  150. that haven't even happened yet. Okay, so we recognize that there

  151. are Traditions, that men have. They may have come out of some

  152. type of Truth, and then they got kind of modified in one sense to

  153. kind of accommodate our living prior to Christ.

  154. This happens around every holiday season, right?

  155. People come up, start talking to me about, you know, the origin

  156. of Christmas. I don't want, I don't want to

  157. hear about it. I don't see what I want to hear

  158. about it, because they don't mean nothing to me, you know?

  159. Don't that. Don't mean nothing to me.

  160. I celebrate Jesus. Okay, that's what I do.

  161. All right. Thanksgiving, I celebrate

  162. Thanksgiving without things, giving right man, needs these

  163. things. I never celebrate Halloween

  164. because I don't celebrate the dead.

  165. Okay, that's me. All right, that's just where I'm

  166. at. I never told my kids about You

  167. know, who? Never did because they couldn't

  168. see. And I didn't want to put an

  169. impression in them. That someone's watching.

  170. Could do these things on it. Let them know that it was just

  171. pretend because they can't see Jesus.

  172. Now, mom had me believe that there was Santa Claus and it did

  173. not corrupt me. Okay, so don't get over there

  174. and think, oh my god, what have I done to my kids?

  175. The word set? You free from everything's what

  176. I'm saying, okay? So I went trick-or-treating.

  177. L've never took my kids triggered I but I did and I

  178. turned out, okay. Cause the word works, right?

  179. I'm just saying, I choose to live to where I tame to and

  180. that's becomes my conviction. I have such as Paul said, I've

  181. arrived at this juncture and I can't go back somewhere else, so

  182. I stay where I'm at. Okay, now, what we do is we

  183. Inspire for clarity, okay, so when we go through this passes

  184. tonight, I cannot exhaust it all.

  185. All right, because the minute you get in this into this thing

  186. called love of God. Grace is multifaceted.

  187. Okay, there's Saving Grace. There's empowering Grace,

  188. there's giving Grace. Okay, they're serving Grace.

  189. All right, so there's different Graces.

  190. All right, there's not just one which we typically quote the

  191. most Grace, meaning on merited favor.

  192. We receive something. We did not deserve well Jesus

  193. never Had that Grace although the Bible clearly says that he

  194. grew and Grace that the grace of God was upon him.

  195. Well what in the world did Jesus ever do wrong?

  196. That he deserves something didn't deserve it.

  197. I mean he was without sin but he did have empowering Grace and he

  198. grew in that empowering Grace and that strengthening Grace,

  199. that allowed him to overcome every obstacle, Temptation

  200. anything that took place so that he never did Sin and became the

  201. perfect lamb without spot or blemish.

  202. We are introduced to God through the unmerited favor Grace but

  203. the minute we receive Christ as our Lord and savior.

  204. He wants to start putting on serving Grace.

  205. He wants to start. Strengthening gray.

  206. He definitely it's also a great dose of empowering Grace because

  207. now you're a new creature in Christ and you don't have to sin

  208. anymore and start keep receiving stuff that you don't deserve.

  209. Okay. But we want to sometimes apply

  210. one definition across the board, and the same thing is with God's

  211. love. Although you can't read 1st

  212. Corinthians chapter 13, verses 4 through 8 and see that love

  213. responds. Exactly the same way, in every

  214. situation. Ation.

  215. So, the application of God's love.

  216. Our nature is predicated on the condition by which is having to

  217. have a conversation, or intervene or do something right.

  218. The Lord will speak to those that are outside of his kingdom

  219. one way. And then he speaking to those

  220. inside his kingdom, some other way, case in point the Bible

  221. says, no man goes after God. No, not one unless the spirit

  222. drawl him. But now once you're In the

  223. kingdom of God, he says that we are to go after him draw near to

  224. God, and He will draw near to you.

  225. So as a Believer you can actually have access whereas an

  226. unbeliever, you did not but you've got to make the change

  227. and yet change only comes through your mind being renewed

  228. to the word. So my I say all that because

  229. when we begin to start talking about God's love, You can't just

  230. take one thought. There's so many aspects of God's

  231. love that can be applied, determining the situation.

  232. Because I'm gonna make a couple statements today that are going

  233. to State, basically General. And again, if you have this, you

  234. know, we should just accept everybody.

  235. Well, does God except everybody? You know, I mean if he did then

  236. nobody's going to the Lake of Fire.

  237. Nobody. Not happening.

  238. If God accepted everybody, that was believer.

  239. Well then you could blaspheme the Holy Ghost and be okay.

  240. But Jesus said that sin is not forgivable now or forever.

  241. It's important to boil and it doesn't matter, the blood scum.

  242. Okay, I'll go over here. I mean there's aspects in the

  243. word that we see it and a lot of times we just disregard sections

  244. of the word because it doesn't necessarily align up with how we

  245. are personally perceiving. We think it should be.

  246. So we avoid now me I'm an I don't I don't not avoid I'm like

  247. I'm gonna have to figure out why that says that because I got all

  248. these other scriptures that say these inks, but then this shows

  249. up So where's that at? I mean, I'm like ask that

  250. question. What gets Paul that he takes

  251. this praying, where he's praying for the church's, he's like

  252. laboring for them, so that they will, but be in Christ.

  253. And he's not laboring in vain, he's praying that the eyes are

  254. their understanding would be enlightened that, you know, the,

  255. that they would understand the hope of their calling.

  256. He says, you know, I pray and travail in tears till Christ, be

  257. formed in you, but did he gets this other prayer?

  258. You deliver him over to Satan for the destruction of their

  259. flesh. What now, what in the world

  260. happened that? That took place That all of a

  261. sudden is God, as like standing in the Gap, praying, all the

  262. sudden, say Satan, just go ahead and take them out so that they

  263. might not blaspheme. Where'd that prayer come from

  264. but you know what? Typically we do as Believers.

  265. We gloss over that. Well, I understand that and then

  266. we just kind of maintain the site.

  267. Well let's just pray for everybody's gonna get it.

  268. Well, Paul's like this guy might not get it unless we do

  269. something drastic. Because they keep this course,

  270. something's worse. And he said that they wouldn't

  271. blaspheme which means they fixing to get into a place that

  272. the Bloods not touching. But again, we met most of the

  273. times we as Believers, love, certain messages, only or we as

  274. Believers assembled together in places where we're not even, you

  275. know, willing to go down these roads, right?

  276. You know, when I test things, I have a staff I can get up in an

  277. upper room and throw out a thought process and see if they

  278. go, you know, okay? We ain't ready to talk about

  279. that yet. Right?

  280. Is sometimes I need to throw things out.

  281. I got one Minister friend of mine.

  282. Reverend Gary Crowell, I will talk about stuff because

  283. sometimes I just need to get things out so an anointing can

  284. show up to bring clarity. Because I'm growing like you, I

  285. want to be able to apply God's love right every situation.

  286. And that's really important, right?

  287. So when we begin to deal with this tonight, you know, we in

  288. turn, then need to say okay, we're going to take some time to

  289. dissect. Some elements of God's love here

  290. in the next few Services. Now, after we kind of

  291. communicate some things, look at John Chapter 13.

    John 13 chapter mention

  292. Are you ready loves proof? John Chapter 13, start in verse

    John 13 chapter mention

  293. 34. John 13:34 and we'll reverse 35.

    John 13:34

  294. Now, Jesus says this a new Commandment, I give to you now.

  295. There is a commandment already out there.

  296. The greatest commandment is what?

  297. To love your neighbor as yourself.

  298. That's the greatest, you know, command love the Lord your God

  299. and love your neighbor as yourself, right?

  300. That's been a established standard commandment of God and

  301. what's he saying you? If you love God, with all your

  302. heart, with all your mind soul, and might write a power, you

  303. know, everything and then if you love your neighbor as yourself,

  304. you can keep the whole law. Well, what's it mean?

  305. Loving your neighbor well person Whether in the kingdom are in

  306. Coven or not, if I will treat you in a way that I would want

  307. to be treated. Then most likely I'm not going

  308. to try to Swindle you manipulate you rob from you kit try to, you

  309. know, kill you still, you know, covet, your spouse all those

  310. things. If I because I wouldn't want you

  311. to do that to me. Well, jesus takes it up another

  312. notch. And he says a new commandment is

  313. a new commandment. Okay.

  314. A new commandment I give to you. So this isn't an old

  315. commandment. This is a new one.

  316. He said a new commandment I give to you that you love one.

  317. Another how even as I have loved you that you also love one

  318. another. Now what's really interesting

  319. about verse 34 is that he has to command it.

  320. So You know, so a lot of times we tend to think.

  321. Well, well surely we would do that the Lord's like yeah you

  322. know we asked Jesus to be Lord of our life, we're in the

  323. kingdom of God. Surely the church is going to

  324. love each other. The Believers in it.

  325. Well, first of all, you came out of a world, they don't even

  326. know. Love And they've indoctrinated

  327. you with their love. Indoctrinated it.

  328. Indoctrinated you and you'll come into the church with your

  329. definition of love and how you supposed to treat people, right?

  330. And then all of a sudden, a Believer doesn't treat you the

  331. way you thought. And then we got conflict.

  332. But Jesus, like I'm going to set the standard.

  333. So I'm going to I command you to love one.

  334. Another how As I loved you now it's gonna be very easy for us

  335. to see tonight, how Jesus loved us.

  336. Because again you got asked that question, right?

  337. Are y'all with me tonight? You got to ask that question.

  338. Well, if God is commanding me to love one.

  339. Another as I loved as he loved us, then that must mean we can

  340. love one another like Christ loved.

  341. So for you to say you can't says, God's Jesus is a liar.

  342. Well, is Jesus a liar or are we Liars?

  343. We're going to be a liar long before Jesus is liar.

  344. I said, we are so, you know what?

  345. I just can't love them. Now, you just don't know you

  346. calling Jesus, a liar. I said you calling Jesus a liar.

  347. So he says that, you also love one another and then look at

  348. verse 35. Now, you ready for a 35 by this

  349. Bob what? By loving one another.

  350. By this by what by loving one. Another as I loved you buy this.

  351. How many all how many all men? Will know that you are my

  352. disciples. So how does the world know about

  353. Jesus? So what we've done in the church

  354. are in them as Believers, we've accepted this idea alone that in

  355. order to win the world are the loss are people?

  356. We need to tell them about Jesus.

  357. We need to go evangelize. And so we're asking them to make

  358. someone Lord that is on kids. Are having a problem

  359. demonstrating something that's been shed abroad in their heart.

  360. This is why it was easier to take a step back, as a Believer

  361. with an unrenewed mind and say, let's just present it this way.

  362. Jesus Christ came and died on the cross and was raised from

  363. the dead, ask him to come into your heart and save you.

  364. So that when you die, you'll go to heaven because we obviously

  365. are going to love each other down here, right?

  366. So the wood to get it all together up in heaven.

  367. Now Jesus says love one another as I loved you.

  368. And he ain't talking about the way I loved you.

  369. When I was in heaven before I came, he saw my I was here on

  370. the earth, I gave a great demonstration.

  371. And this is how I expected to be done and it isn't a suggestion

  372. actually because if you'll actually do it all men, well all

  373. men will want know that you are my disciples.

  374. If if if conditional statement, if you have love for one

  375. another. So we put all these investments

  376. in Outreach Instead of doing the greatest investment that has no

  377. cost of a Associated to it, that is the cost of, renewing, our

  378. minds through studying and then applying the love of God that's

  379. been shed abroad in our heart and growing in US towards one

  380. another that we operate in such a love as Believers to each

  381. other. Not what we perceive is love now

  382. because I see you clicking. I see people clicking.

  383. Like, that's what I'm talking about pastors about time

  384. somebody say this. The prom.

  385. Miss most of those are most of the time when we say that, we

  386. know, it's right. But we don't even know what that

  387. means, and but we're going to help you.

  388. We don't break it down for the next few Services because they

  389. gonna take time, all right? I'll give you.

  390. Let me just give you a few little highlights real quick.

  391. Okay. Few highlights, you know, just

  392. because it should have ran through your mind.

  393. Least it does might even while preaching here, examples of how

  394. God, loves, Right? Howdy love his disciples, they

  395. got hungry, he fed them. He did send them home, hungry.

  396. He is say, well, we bless you. We bless you.

  397. Right now, he did something. They were sick what he do.

  398. He healed them. Right.

  399. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Right there was a need and he

  400. met it provision needed to show up provision.

  401. Was there and we love that, right?

  402. All of us. Say that's why I use that first,

  403. right? Because then guess what else

  404. love did love looked at Peter says get thee behind me, Satan

  405. for you, set your interest on the mint mind of man, and not on

  406. the interests of God. He corrected him.

  407. Love stand-up in a boat. And says, why don't you handle

  408. Faith? Why don't you have faith now

  409. brother? You got to look brother.

  410. I love you and you are not in faith right now.

  411. I'm just getting a couple examples, but again, what we

  412. like the love that does it correct?

  413. Or instruct us? We like the love.

  414. That brings blessing and provision to us and love brings

  415. blessing and provision belove. Also, when you look at the life

  416. of Jesus, Instructs and corrects.

  417. Right. I mean, it's a man with you say

  418. it or not Alleluia. So let's read this again for, I

  419. can go on a new commandment. I give to you that you love one

  420. another. And, you know, I am not a two or

  421. three verse preacher. We gonna tie this up, nice,

  422. we're going to put it under the tree tonight.

  423. We got a present, right? I got a present, okay, I'm gonna

  424. be honest with you right now. Church would be way different.

  425. If we get this new commandment why I can tell you one thing

  426. that would seriously stop Brian Atkins, our Chancellor.

  427. We've had some great conversations about all the

  428. problems in our natural world that if the whole natural would

  429. just follow the principles of Jesus, without being born again,

  430. I'm just saying the prince. Would we would eliminate

  431. poverty? We would eliminate a sexually

  432. transmitted disease, we would eliminate all disease, the

  433. majority of diseases period because stress is associated

  434. with it. We would eliminate a lot of

  435. suicides. A lot of people in jail, Because

  436. we would restore family. I mean, all we can take care all

  437. the world's problems. All of them.

  438. And if we would here to this as the church, we would eliminate

  439. Church hopping we eliminate back backsliding.

  440. You hear what I'm saying? We eliminated wheel emanate.

  441. The the fruit of Gossip backbiting covetousness.

  442. Now you won't stop it from coming but you can stop it.

  443. Right, amen, and let me tell you something.

  444. I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you right now, there is

  445. a culture here. That is passionate in the press

  446. in. And I believe we're ripe to get

  447. to a moment. Now again, loving your brother

  448. is solely dependent on you. Doing your part.

  449. Because Jesus did his part. Of love.

  450. And anyone who doesn't accept that, is it because he didn't do

  451. his part. All right, so John first, John

    John 3:23

  452. 3:23 says is this is his Commandment that we believe in

  453. the name of the son of Jesus Christ.

  454. And And love one another. Just as he commanded Us in that

  455. amazing. Know what?

  456. He didn't die. He said, this is the commit that

  457. we believe in the, in the name of the son of Jesus Christ and

  458. we stopped there and when we die, we go to heaven.

  459. Jesus. Never stop it.

  460. It's a personal relationship with me.

  461. Religion has done that. Tradition has done that.

  462. Now, is there a personal aspect that you have with your king?

  463. Yes. But Jesus Christ was not just

  464. for you to have a personal one-on-one and never connect

  465. with your family while you're in the earth.

  466. Love in fact, if you operate in the love, he gave you, your you

  467. will be compelled to be around your brothers and sisters.

  468. I just don't like church. Well, then you having a hard

  469. time with Jesus, because Jesus is the head of well, then eat,

  470. jeez. I have problem with this all the

  471. other people, Well do you have a problem?

  472. I mean you're right. You have a problem with them

  473. because they really ain't the people problem because you got a

  474. command that when the problem comes, you can still respond.

  475. Because the Bible says, while we were yet, sinners Christ died.

  476. He don't need you to do something for him to do what he

  477. has to do. Because it's the only way it can

  478. be done. And he's going to do it.

  479. Because he's gonna walk in the highest love.

  480. I'm going to obey dad, dad sent me that said, I gonna have to go

  481. to La Crosse. Dad told me that I needed a

  482. walk, you know, and Obey him. And every way and I'm doing that

  483. and I got the power of the Holy Ghost and all these things I'm

  484. doing now in front of everybody because Dad's talking to me

  485. about it. And you know what, I'ma do this

  486. all the way to the cross. And I believe that dad's gonna

  487. get me on the third day and did that get him.

  488. Sure did sent the Holy Ghost. Raising from the dead.

  489. Hallelujah. He said it is finished.

  490. Right. Okay, so this is, this is his

  491. Commandment that we believe in the name of the son of Jesus

  492. Christ. Because again, if you don't do

  493. that, you can't go to the next. It's impossible for you to love

  494. one another. Without actually having Love In

  495. You. Because if you again, we've

  496. already said this. In the very first sermon we ever

  497. preached. If you don't have God in you,

  498. you don't have love period. You can call it that.

  499. You can say it all day long, but it doesn't wash in God's Court.

  500. It's not. He knows what's his love.

  501. He defines it and he knows how its expressed, and he has the

  502. right to that, because he is God.

  503. All right, first John four, 21 verse John 421 and this

  504. commandment we have from him. That the one who loves God

  505. should love his brother. Also, now notice in all of these

  506. statements, Nowhere, does it say that we are to love our brother

  507. based on the color of their skin?

  508. So racism can exist in the world.

  509. But if you're loving like God loves, it does not exist in his

  510. family. So for me to love my brother, I

  511. have to first, not regard him in the flesh.

  512. Cause I don't live my site in the first place.

  513. Hallelujah. So here we have three

  514. scriptures. That is very clear.

  515. Jesus commanded us to love one another as he loved us and that

  516. we are commanded not on to accept Jesus as Lord or named

  517. him as will believe in him. But we are to love one another.

  518. And here again, we should love our brothers.

  519. Also, are you hearing what I'm saying, saying, John chapter 1

    John 1 chapter mention

  520. verses which is only one chapter.

  521. Okay. Second John verses 5 and 6.

  522. It says this. Now I ask you ladies talking to

  523. a lady elect he says not as though I were writing to you a

  524. new commandment. But But the one which you have

  525. heard from the beginning that we love one another, right, what do

  526. we do? We love one another and this is

  527. love, here we go, that we walk according to his Commandments.

  528. This is the Commandment just as you've heard from the beginning

  529. that you should walk in it, right?

  530. So again, we've sorry, seen that the highest layer of God's love

  531. is that we obey and when we got born again, he gave us capacity

  532. to actually obey matters. Word.

  533. Willfully, wanting to, I mean, we have the, we have the ability

  534. to willfully, obey him with a desire from our own nature.

  535. That's like his and the Holy Ghost and actually gives us

  536. instruction and talks to us on how to actually do that.

  537. No problem at all. This is amazing stuff because

  538. he's like, man, you are going to keep his command with this is

  539. his love. We are to walk according to his

  540. command. And you know what, one of his

  541. commands, this one of them is to love one another.

  542. In fact, if will love one another, the world is safe.

  543. Say now Jesus is there. Because again if we only do what

  544. the world is doing to identify love because again, no problem.

  545. When having a food drive But people who aren't in the love of

  546. God can have a food drive what literally will set us apart from

  547. the rest of the world. I mean we go and down on Monday

  548. and feed the Homeless. What good is it if we're

  549. bickering over how to set out the food?

  550. Not that didn't happen. I'm just using that as an

  551. example, right? What, what, what is that, right?

  552. I mean people don't want to go to work as it is but they go

  553. anyway. Yet, then all of a sudden, you

  554. know, God asked you to serve in a capacity and we're like I

  555. don't want to be there and take that attitude in instead of

  556. like, I'm called of God. And this is my brother and

  557. sister and I need to do for them.

  558. I need to serve them. I need to be how come you there

  559. all the time. And we just love God in the

  560. brethren. The passive translation reads it

  561. this way. Dearest woman, I have a request

  562. to make of you. It's not a new commandment, but

  563. a repetition of the one we've heard have heard from the

  564. beginning. That we constantly love one

  565. another. This love means living in

  566. obedience to whatever God commands us for to walk in love

  567. towards one. Another is the unifying

  568. commandment. We've heard from the beginning.

  569. I, you know, a lot of times like where's the Harvest that?

  570. Is it a congregation away? way from really loving one,

  571. another I mean, if we put all of our effort in each other, loving

  572. each other, People come up on the campus walk in and be like,

  573. and they're already doing it because, you know, we got a

  574. perfect just let you know, at all, you know, and will never

  575. have it perfect because we should be adding people who

  576. don't have this Revelation yet, right?

  577. But if enough of us get the Revelation and begin to walk in

  578. loving one another correctly, As Jesus loved them and we're going

  579. to break down what that look like we can just look at his

  580. life and say that's love. There's a lot of times like you

  581. don't love me. Oh, I don't love you because I

  582. said you're not doing right? No.

  583. Actually, I love you because you're not doing, right?

  584. And I'm saying something. You know, I love you because

  585. identify you're actually not in faith.

  586. And God doesn't want you to see. But again, if we take our

  587. definitions, then this is why we struggled.

  588. And if we have Hazard come to church.

  589. Anyway, we're have a hard time understanding all of God's

  590. truths to be able to apply in the first place.

  591. And then if you bring your own baggage, which all of you have

  592. including myself, if we don't deal with that baggage and get

  593. it under the blood and they learn how to manage it.

  594. So every time the devil tries to pull it back out and say yeah I

  595. remember you were like this. I remember how someone so talk

  596. to you. Remember how your like that if

  597. we don't learn to manage that baggage then we start responding

  598. like an old man or old. Man are dead man.

  599. Instead of our new man, the new man.

  600. The new man, John chapter 15 verses 7 to 13.

    John 15:7–13

  601. Says it. This way, if you abide in me and

  602. my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be

  603. done for you. My father is glorified by this

  604. that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

  605. So again God's more concerned about proving that he has a Race

  606. of beings in the Earth. to the world more so than just us

  607. saying to the world about him, but not living who we say they

  608. should live for He goes on and says it this way just as the

  609. father has loved me. I also loved you abide in my

  610. love. That means you got to make a

  611. conscious choice to stay there. The Bible talks about put on

  612. love, just because the love of God has been shed abroad in your

  613. heart, that mean you put it on, in your mind you put it on over

  614. your emotions. You put it on over, your will We

  615. have to choose to do that. Alright, so he goes on and Jesus

  616. did this. He said verse 10, if you keep my

  617. Commandments, you will abide in my love.

  618. Okay, verse 10, if conditional statement if you continue keep

  619. my Commandments and that baby, listen, that just means when the

  620. Holy Ghost is talking to you saying, hey, do this?

  621. That's called, living the life of faith.

  622. Being led by the spirit. It's not you doing something by

  623. yourself. It's you doing what the spirit

  624. of God is leading you to do. So you have to keep yourself in

  625. the commands. You will abide in my love.

  626. Just as I have kept, my father's command.

  627. Notice. Jesus, didn't say I came and did

  628. whatever I wanted to and it was amazing.

  629. I had no accountability here. God loved me, he put me down

  630. here. He loved me.

  631. I mean, dad loves me man. I am Jesus, the son of God, born

  632. of the Virgin Mary. There's no question about that.

  633. So man, I just had a great time here.

  634. All I have to do is make sure I got to a cross at the end.

  635. His life never was evidence of that.

  636. His life was always evidence of what are you saying, dad?

  637. I want to do what you say, because that's where loves that

  638. and it's not burdensome for me to do it, because life's there

  639. is amazing. In fact, that's where anything

  640. happens, right? So he said, now listen, if

  641. you're doing that, then you're abiding in my love just as I did

  642. it. What that means is the world is

  643. showing all kind of counterfeit stuff that if you don't say.

  644. I know what that looks like, but I'm not going to go there again.

  645. Hi, I'll give you a case in point.

  646. You know, a lots happening in our nation this year, right?

  647. I know when I'm not, I'm about to not abide.

  648. Meaning, my flesh is starting to be like, I'm hearing stuff on

  649. the news. I'm seeing the way people are

  650. responding about things, the way people are talking, I'm lining

  651. it up with scripture and there's a part of me be like, I'm about

  652. to go crazy right here. I want to give you a piece of my

  653. mind. But my mind means nothing, even

  654. if it has scripture with it, if it doesn't have love.

  655. So if I realize that I'm starting to I in my spirit,

  656. right in my inner man, I'm getting calluses.

  657. Then I have to keep I cut it off, I'll cut it off.

  658. And my wife and testify, I'm like, I'm not watching that,

  659. what's wrong? I can't watch it because I gotta

  660. keep calls, Moses. Lets me know what happens when

  661. you don't keep and I ain't going right.

  662. Hit no Rock twice, man, I'm walking away from the rock.

  663. I'm putting down the staff. I got to get myself together, so

  664. I can come back and have a conversation with the rock.

  665. Like, I'm supposed to all of us deal with these things, but

  666. notice it, it it God doesn't Force.

  667. Be there but he sure will lead me.

  668. He'll say son you going to disconnect from that.

  669. I'll send you better discount. I know.

  670. Now when I say son you're gonna it's not like I hear him in an

  671. audible voice. I just have this like

  672. impression. I know that is kind.

  673. That's what I'm feeling right now is not motivated by the

  674. spirit. I'm going to take a step back,

  675. I'm about to take a step back, you hear what I'm saying?

  676. Okay, so we have to keep these things verse 11, these things I

  677. have spoken to you. So So that my joy may be in you,

  678. and that your joy may be made full verse 12.

  679. Now, again, we're getting context.

  680. This is my commandment that you love one.

  681. Another what just as I have loved you.

  682. Then he gets to verse 13. Greater love has no one than

  683. this. Than one who lays down his life

  684. for his friends. And we said this in another

  685. service that the context of verse 13 is not that we die for

  686. somebody else. Is that we die to our way of

  687. handling, a situation or doing something and we do it God's

  688. way. I mean, Jesus in the garden

  689. Peter cuts off the guy's ear, he said Peter, you'll about it for

  690. a sword. You're gonna die by the sword

  691. heels the guy. He's now listen.

  692. Don't you know that I could call a legion of angels down right

  693. now. Now he wouldn't say that unless

  694. he could do that, but why doesn't he?

  695. He laid his life down. Meaning I'm not gonna do what I

  696. couldn't do. No, I'm gonna do what Dad said.

  697. and so he says, when you love one another, when we start

  698. living your life, you know what, I'm gonna love some of you.

  699. One of the greatest Faith moves for you ever is just to go talk

  700. to somebody else in the church. It's one of the greatest faith

  701. move and I know God talks to you about it will go say, hey.

  702. And he coming and yet God saying he's trying to help you Love the

  703. One. You're supposed to love the

  704. most. The church has abandoned love in

  705. each other and wants to love the world.

  706. Because again what have we done? We've reduced this whole thing

  707. to all that God cares about is the Lost Does he care about the

  708. world or those that are outside his kingdom?

  709. Yes. But do you think he loves them

  710. more than you? He does not.

  711. He always starts with his house. He always tell takes care of his

  712. house first. Always.

  713. Amen. He takes care of the house.

  714. First. And we, you know, whether you're

  715. here or not doesn't matter. I don't really want to get to

  716. know you because, you know, I'm right with God, I don't want to

  717. be committed to you. And we want the world to embrace

  718. our Jesus. I mean, many pastors today are

  719. like, you know what? We understand, you're busy.

  720. We don't want to take too much of your time away from your

  721. family. So we don't do a whole lot come

  722. and say a few little scriptures and go home.

  723. Why? Because it's about personal is

  724. about you telling it and you yourself can't even live the

  725. full of walk. Number one, not even in your own

  726. house. A lot of times with your own

  727. family but you definitely aren't doing it with one another yet.

  728. It is the way by this, all men will know.

  729. It's the greatest witnessing tool we have, and I've proved it

  730. out, honestly. I throwed it out.

  731. The greatest Outreach to date. Four anchor, Faith Church.

  732. In 16 years, the greatest Outreach today has been

  733. treasure. Harbor preschool, Where these

  734. people come in that, don't know Jesus for nothing but they meet

  735. the staff and we make a demand that the staff actually love one

  736. another. Because if you don't, we'll let

  737. you go. Sad member going to love one

  738. another and we know when you ain't loving, I know it ain't

  739. Lovin. Cause ain't looking at me.

  740. They won't engage me. You can't talk to me.

  741. I am your brother. Right?

  742. I mean I'm the best thing going next to sliced, bread and so are

  743. you. This is why I've been in places

  744. where people that used to be here.

  745. That left here I'll show up in a restaurant.

  746. I'll be at a grocery store and that brother will

  747. And I'm just that got to be won't write up and go.

  748. Hey man. I was looking at the same thing.

  749. Why are you avoiding me brothers and sister?

  750. Don't avoid each other. That are commanded to love one

  751. another. We only avoid one another

  752. because somebody doing something supposed to do and you had a

  753. fellowship with your father. Ojala.

  754. I fired a guy for cheating on his wife.

  755. Cheated on her sexual immorality.

  756. But he repented came home, restored him and his wife.

  757. And rehire them to the church. Because Dad said, give me

  758. another shot. It's not, my church is his and I

  759. looked at that individuals if they never blew it.

  760. Yeah, no problem. Cause I'm commanded.

  761. See, I'm commanded. There's nothing you can do to

  762. me. That's going to get me to a

  763. place that I can't stay in my love.

  764. What with you even if you leave, it's not going to happen.

  765. It's not gonna happen. Anybody want to come and tell me

  766. anchor of a church and friendly. I'll show you someone who can't

  767. who is not friendly. I you show me somebody that

  768. says, there's clicks, we only reason it seems like a click to

  769. you is because you're not trying to engage those individuals.

  770. Hallelujah. Amen.

  771. So this is his Commandment that we love one another.

  772. Just as he loved us and he's saying, listen, I laid down my

  773. way handling every situation to do it.

  774. Exactly the way Dad said to do it.

  775. And so he's saying for us to greater love that we have for

  776. one another. Is that, you know what?

  777. It's nothing personal. I understand that.

  778. You said that, I understand it, went there.

  779. I got it. The Lord's already.

  780. Let me know if you repent. Seventy Times Seven.

  781. I'm going to forgive you. There it is done.

  782. It's done. Got to do it, but also know this

  783. if you refuse to repent. Then I got to respond to way too

  784. because that's what Dad says. And we'll see, we'll look at

  785. some of those will do a case study on loving one.

  786. Another, I said on loving one another.

  787. Hey men, when they don't love me, I love you with the word.

  788. Come on, anybody ever met with me about anything.

  789. What do I typically say? What's worse?

  790. A I'd opinion on this matter. That one guy come to me.

  791. One time years ago, he says, what's your track record in

  792. restore? Marriages.

  793. I said, 100%, if you listen to what I say, I'm going to the

  794. word. I mean, how's the word fell?

  795. If the husband will love his wife, as the Bible says to and

  796. the wife will love her husband. Like the Bible says, and they'll

  797. love God, then it can't, it can't help.

  798. But work, which means whatever they did to hurt you.

  799. They truly repented, you're going to be at a, forgive it and

  800. I like, it never happened. We gonna drive on But it takes

  801. two. It always takes two.

  802. Even with Jesus, Jesus is got it available, but are you doing

  803. what you need to do to continue to walk in it to continue First

    1 Peter 1:18–25

  804. Peter, chapter 1, verse 18 to 25.

  805. It says this knowing that you were not redeemed from

  806. perishable things like silver and gold from your futile way of

  807. life inherited from your forefathers, but with the

  808. precious blood, as a lamb on blemish and spotless the blood

  809. of Christ for he was for naught for he was foreknown before the

  810. foundation of the world. But as has appeared in these

  811. last times, for the sake of you, who threw him are believers in

  812. God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that

  813. your Faith and Hope are in God, verse 22 cents.

  814. We have in obedience to the church, to the truth.

  815. What have we done? Since you have in obedience to

  816. the truth purified, your souls for a sincere love of the

  817. brethren. And fervently love one another

  818. from the heart. Now, that tells me how I am to

  819. let I say fake love. Which is very difficult because

  820. sometimes dad says, you're gonna have to go talk to them about

  821. that. I'm like, did you talk to him?

  822. I have, you talked to him again and I listening But can we do

  823. it? I mean, you're like, man.

  824. But gotta do it. They gotta do it half the time

  825. when I'm talking with people anyway, it's like, I know, like

  826. God's already said it, you know, they already said it.

  827. We're just like, yep. There, it was.

  828. Yeah, but what's happened? The devil's always outside the

  829. door. I've restored a mini a person,

  830. but they fail to understand that I can operate in the love that.

  831. God says to operate in and that is love does not taken a kind of

  832. suffered wrong. The minute I found out about

  833. something you've done. This isn't is heinous as you

  834. think that is as horrible as that is.

  835. The devil says he'll never look at you the same way and

  836. everybody uses same way. You'll never be able to do

  837. anything in this church. You'll never be able you need

  838. moms are just go. Every time you see me in the

  839. hallway, see he thinks sure that I didn't say that.

  840. I think you're that. Hey, how you doing?

  841. Great seeing you. He doesn't mean it.

  842. I mean, the devil talks like that, right?

  843. You said it's about your own spouse.

  844. Uh-huh. I love you too, right?

  845. I feel I failed it, I get it, but that's a quality of God's

  846. love that. We as Brethren cannot take an

  847. account of suffered wrong. Wow.

  848. This is such a high level. I mean, the world is trying to

  849. just get along yet. We can do more than get along.

  850. We can genuinely love each other.

  851. We God's love I tell you I just can't hardly handle people.

  852. Well, uh, you're not operating the love of God, because the

  853. love of God can handle anyone and he, especially loves being

  854. around his own family, think about it now, you're like your

  855. lord Jesus. Oh, I just want to sit at his

  856. feet and worship him. Get out of here.

  857. I mean, we're treating our siblings this way.

  858. And we are thinking, we are the apple of his eye.

  859. They got now. Come on.

  860. Let's just parents. How many parents I got here?

  861. Parents, right. How many sons and daughters?

  862. I have here. All right.

  863. That's all of you, right? Okay.

  864. How many are just only children. Okay.

  865. Your only child, okay? That cause that's important.

  866. How many being an only child around your cousins.

  867. Okay, how many have been with friends at school?

  868. All right. Go, I just want to get

  869. everybody, okay? You as a parent, you got more

  870. than one child, all of a sudden you see one of your kids picking

  871. on the other kid. How's that make you feel?

  872. What I mean, you first start with the lecture?

  873. Right. What are you doing?

  874. Don't treat them like that. Yet, we got the love of God

  875. knows us and if we don't what and then we want the world to

  876. come worship, our King, Oh, you need Jesus.

  877. Let's talk about you, Jesus. But let me tell you, the world

  878. does a great job of loving their own.

  879. According to their definition, which is ungodly and

  880. unrighteous, and wicked and evil.

  881. Wicked and evil. It's the what good is it for you

  882. to love someone? Right, because the world does

  883. that. Yeah, here's Born Again.

  884. Believers that are lusting after the acceptance that is up.

  885. Seems to be happening among worldly people. the only reason

  886. we're not loving each other is because we all know we got

  887. baggage and we don't want nobody, nobody Because seeing

  888. the world you can bear your flesh.

  889. Oh, I'm having a hard day child. I know I am too.

  890. But once believers do, well, praise the Lord.

  891. This is day that the Lord has made.

  892. I will rejoice and be glad in it.

  893. What your different nature see? Well the world, they just accept

  894. all their junk. So it was like this big Love

  895. Fest because again, the most people in the church are the

  896. baz. Believers have carried into this

  897. walk with God. That love is accept me exactly

  898. as I am. But did Jesus do that?

  899. And we act like that's way better.

  900. We actually get prideful about it.

  901. It's just so easy to talk with you.

  902. Plus, it's easier to talk to them.

  903. Let me tell you, I have man, I have some of the best

  904. conversations. I mean, there's people, I love

  905. to hang out with and they ain't even blood natural.

  906. You understand? Because Jesus already defined to

  907. me, who my family was? Those who do the will of the

  908. father is very simple. And you know, when you're around

  909. people who are doing the will of the father all the time, it is

  910. like is like the greatest thing on face of planet.

  911. You know, what's so crazy? You'll never see it to this

  912. capacity. But man, when you get around

  913. those who do the will of Father, there's like this, this light

  914. almost like Godly competition of, who can give more, who can

  915. do more, who can provide more, who can open up their resources

  916. more. Some states.

  917. I don't have to. Get a hotel because their home

  918. is open. They said, well, the world does

  919. that, I understand cause the world always copies.

  920. Without real love. We have to do it from the heart,

  921. we've learned to have this sincere truth, but again, if you

  922. don't deal with your own flesh, then there becomes a conflict in

  923. the family. And love always has to dress

  924. flesh. Right.

  925. So let's jump on down memory. You've been bought and paid for

  926. guys. Been bought and paid for and the

  927. love of God in you is enough for you to really Embrace people.

  928. So awesome. This is why I love it when

  929. people come to the church and join and you do as much as I can

  930. to connect with you as best that I can write.

  931. So that we can do, we can be together.

  932. We can grow, we can know each other, right?

  933. Take care of each other. But some of that's, you know,

  934. trying to take care of the flesh that you got that, we need to

  935. trim off. So you can really see the real

  936. you. Because the world is trying to

  937. pull you back. And give you counterfeit.

  938. And it feels good to you flesh. Make no mistake about it because

  939. Moses. Did not.

  940. Enjoy a season of the pleasures of sin, but rather suffered with

  941. his own people because it better to be with God.

  942. Than to serve self. Alright, first John chapter 3.

    1 John 3 chapter mention

  943. Start verse 7 says, little children, make sure no one

  944. deceives. You the one who practices

  945. righteousness is righteous. Just as he is righteous, the one

  946. who practices sin is. Of the devil for the devil has

  947. sinned from the beginning, the Son of God appeared for this

  948. purpose, destroy the works of the devil, no one, who is born

  949. of God practices sin, because his seed abides in him, and he

  950. cannot sin, because he is born of God in that.

  951. Awesome, you're not subject that stuff anymore.

  952. Verse 10 by this, the children of God, and the children of the

  953. devil are obvious There are obvious.

  954. All right, anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of

  955. God. So, again, you should already

  956. know that. God is saying, I've called you

  957. into the family. I've made you righteous in

  958. Christ. Now, I want you to practice

  959. righteousness and righteousness is Right standing with the

  960. governing Authority doing it. God's way.

  961. Jesus was perfect and righteous because he always obeyed.

  962. Dad. He operate in the highest love

  963. of God. He always did that and he's

  964. saying if I can love you. Bye.

  965. Always obey and dad for the purpose.

  966. He sent me and take care of you exactly as dad says to and

  967. minister to you the same way. Dad said to Then you can do it

  968. for each other as well. Amen.

  969. Because if there was aspects of God's love, we would keep in the

  970. Forefront. Then we would very rarely get

  971. into the corrective side. We would never get into, you got

  972. to go side. Because again, love told Adam to

  973. leave the garden. Love did that and it was

  974. righteous. And it was perfect.

  975. And it was what was needed. All right.

  976. He says, by this, the children of God, the children of the

  977. other obvious. Anyone who practices

  978. righteousness is not of God or does not practice.

  979. Righteousness, is not of God, nor the one who does not love

  980. his. Wow.

  981. Isn't that interesting? So the practicing of

  982. righteousness alone is not enough.

  983. Well, I'm just righteous by myself.

  984. Yeah, but you do not love the church and the body of Believers

  985. there. You stay on the fridge.

  986. I mean, we all have different personalities, thank God.

  987. We're all have different gifts and talents.

  988. Praise the Lord. Let me rejoice in how you're

  989. different according to Creative Design.

  990. Not according to how you want to be different because you just

  991. want to stand up. There's a difference.

  992. But God made you a certain way, and that's awesome.

  993. And we celebrate that It's awesome.

  994. I don't want you to add like me. I'll be me.

  995. You be you and we'll do something great.

  996. I'm glad God is not boring and made us all.

  997. Look the same way. Right.

  998. But he gave us life that we can follow the same way.

  999. It's awesome for verse 11. This is the message that you

  1000. have heard from the beginning. That you should love one another

  1001. now. Here, he brings it into context,

  1002. not as Cain, who was evil, who was the evil one, and slew his

  1003. brother? For what reason did he slaying

  1004. because his deeds were evil and his brothers were.

  1005. So if you out talking about your brother, you might not be able.

  1006. Let me tell you about them. Let me tell you what they do.

  1007. Let me tell you about this. You might not be able.

  1008. I'm either God, may all kind of pre.

  1009. If if you're offended with your brother go to him in private,

  1010. right? You know, if you take an

  1011. offense, go deal with that, right?

  1012. If you sin, go ask for forgiveness, if you sin against

  1013. someone ask them to forgive you. I miss for a simple process.

  1014. So if I do my part then you do your part, it's done the Paul

  1015. reprimanded, the church and says, you are going to court.

  1016. To settle a case Between Brothers.

  1017. You will go to a person in the world to tell you how to handle

  1018. a cake. Don't, you know, that we will

  1019. judge the angel He's like, all right this is it blows my mind

  1020. that you don't go get somebody outside the church to try to

  1021. handle the dispute. Between Two Brothers and Sisters

  1022. in Christ. You've got to be kidding me.

  1023. You know, I says it that way is because his life because the

  1024. love in you I said the love in you I said the loving you He's

  1025. powerful, we just got to let love love, we got it.

  1026. We got and love and let love love means blah who I did that

  1027. wrong. Okay, let me, let me get that,

  1028. right? That's what love to do it in.

  1029. Like, okay, let me get now prize and the Flesh.

  1030. And, you know, you defending yourself and, you know, trying

  1031. to save face will do all kinds of other stuff.

  1032. But love it, just say, go ahead and humble yourself.

  1033. Now, child, humble yourself. It's all right, because you No

  1034. media people besides you blown it in this capacity as well.

  1035. They made mistakes to just go ahead and ask for forgiveness.

  1036. Let's get it behind us and drive on.

  1037. And when a thought comes and tries to condemn, you remind

  1038. them, it's under the blood. There's no condemnation for

  1039. those who are in Christ Jesus. Okay.

  1040. And so man, I'm guilty, I don't have no guilt about me, I don't

  1041. feel no condemnation called the Holy Ghost ain't talking to me

  1042. about some, I didn't do right but then when someone's done you

  1043. wrong and they come to you, you're like, hmm, really?

  1044. You did that, you know what, cause you're asking for

  1045. forgiveness, we put it on. Right?

  1046. And if, you know they're doing wrong, you can be like me and

  1047. let me pray for them. Because while we were yet,

  1048. sinners Christ died for us, which means he's interceding.

  1049. He's doing that right now. Not.

  1050. He's interesting for in the Saints.

  1051. No wonder. He's praying so much for us.

  1052. He's seated at the right hand of the father interceding, for the

  1053. Saints, not for the world. His whole prayer life is about.

  1054. You living love to one another so the world can see.

  1055. Jesus think about it now, the only Jesus, they see, All right,

  1056. let me break it down here where we will follow will finish out.

  1057. He goes and says, do not be surprised Brethren if the world

  1058. hates you. We know that we have passed out

  1059. of death into life because we love the brethren.

  1060. Notice what it's saying here? How do we know?

  1061. I mean when that statement comes and makes me think if you don't

  1062. want to be in church, I'm having to ask the question.

  1063. Are you even in the Bots? Are you even born again?

  1064. Don't tell me. I ain't asked Jesus to be Lord

  1065. of my life. I'm a friend that I'm going

  1066. somewhere. Well, and here we go.

  1067. I'll find someone who looks at me.

  1068. You need more than acceptance. You need the blood.

  1069. You need forgiveness. You need a new nature.

  1070. So don't be surprised brother. If the world hates you, we know

  1071. that we passed out of death into life how because we love the

  1072. Brethren he who does not love abides in death, everyone who

  1073. hates his brother is a murderer and you know that no murderer

  1074. has eternal life abiding in him. Yogi quiet, man, this is core.

  1075. This is life. Amen, that's it.

  1076. Pass our own. You looking at you neighbor

  1077. going. Ah, I love you.

  1078. You know how much I love you. I didn't love you much as much

  1079. as I love you right now. I mean, I loved you when we

  1080. first came in but my love for you, just went through the roof.

  1081. I mean it should go through the roof because the last thing is

  1082. and I really hate it when they do that.

  1083. I mean, I'm reading the Bible. This is not Pastor URLs

  1084. translation, first, 16. We know love by this again.

  1085. How do we know love by this? How do we know love by this?

  1086. That he lay down his life for us?

  1087. We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

  1088. We saw context. What did he say?

  1089. No greater love than this, than when he lay down his life.

  1090. For his friend, the context is, if you abide in my word and my

  1091. word abides in you, if you do, what Dad says, if you love each

  1092. other, like I Loved You by loving the father and only doing

  1093. what he says because I lay down my will and I reach to the

  1094. highest layer of love and that's yes, Lord.

  1095. Whatever you say I do. Cuz I want a body in your love,

  1096. right? So we're never gonna have any

  1097. murderers in here because they're like, just tell me how

  1098. to handle the situation dead and I'll do it prior to the side.

  1099. Saying about me. Yeah, that hurts.

  1100. That hurts, bad, that that happened.

  1101. But you know what? Project aside, you know what,

  1102. how can I hold that account? You forgave me so much?

  1103. Right, he says verse 17. Both Whoever has the world's

  1104. goods and sees his brother in need and closes his heart

  1105. against him. How does the love of God abideth

  1106. in him? Now we're going to break that

  1107. scripture down because the many you read it like we gotta do

  1108. every if you don't do it. There are cases where love

  1109. doesn't give Of some resources. And that's an act of loving the

  1110. brethren. There are cases.

  1111. All right. But what do people do the

  1112. minute? Something doesn't happen.

  1113. What one scripture says, they don't search another scripture

  1114. and they accuse you of not walking in love.

  1115. Alright, Verse 18 little children, we ought to love, not

  1116. love with word, or with tongue, but in deed and Truth.

  1117. So again how does the world really want to run to Jesus?

  1118. Because his whole body is loving one.

  1119. Another We don't II text this statement to someone today.

  1120. I said, I would love for people to believe the word of God as

  1121. quick as they believe a word of gossip.

  1122. I'm talking to monks the brethren.

  1123. Why is there among the church that we, you know, have this

  1124. like idea that we want to see someone fail.

  1125. Well see they on all that weight.

  1126. None of us all that. I mean I'm putting this thing on

  1127. just like you every day so don't be jealous of me if I'm really

  1128. working it. Well, But it's work.

  1129. Because I gave to my flesh over to congregation.

  1130. I'll be gone. And I'll let you know about it

  1131. for I left. Right.

  1132. But you know I don't have a list about your life because I don't

  1133. take any kind of suffering wrong.

  1134. The only time anything's repeating about me and you is

  1135. because you never really repented and never actually got

  1136. it off. Why are you bringing up my past?

  1137. Well you actually got to do something different for your

  1138. past, not to be there. I mean it keeps recurring calls,

  1139. you you Are y'all with me? They'll doing all right.

  1140. So anchor, Faith Church. As your pastor.

  1141. Seriously needs to move us into a Higher Love.

  1142. And it's work. Now, what do I mean by that?

  1143. You really got to crucify yourself.

  1144. Because we're not perfect people.

  1145. Your bad mood. And my last counseling situation

  1146. that was garbage meet in a hallway.

  1147. Do you hear what I'm saying? Your fight with your spouse

  1148. shows up in the parking lot and encounters a brother who has

  1149. been dealing with symptoms for days and they're aggravated that

  1150. they're still feeling that way. And we'll let one of those

  1151. little moments. Stop us from loving one.

  1152. Another The lust of the eyes, the pride of life, right?

  1153. The lust of the flesh, they get in the way of things, you know,

  1154. all of a sudden, we want to get into a position somewhere.

  1155. So we'll begin to covet. Someone else's stuff.

  1156. We know, that's not right, and it doesn't matter.

  1157. Got nobody can stop you from being Who You Are.

  1158. Whole churches, split over all kind of crazy.

  1159. Little silly stuff. And the world is like, and I'm

  1160. supposed to accept who because I ain't seen him yet.

  1161. But when we allow God to deal with us and then we respond and

  1162. love towards one another. All of a sudden the world to

  1163. say, let me tell you something, there's something of different

  1164. about that church right there. I walked in the building and

  1165. some happen, I mean, I got around them.

  1166. Now again with those individuals come in they may be a little

  1167. more in a corner. They may be a little less

  1168. talkative, they may be a little less but that shouldn't stop

  1169. you. Because again if you're loving

  1170. your brother and they say they're born again, will then go

  1171. after him go talk to him. I mean every time I try to go up

  1172. today, just ignore me. Well let's pray for them then

  1173. they would get that ripped off then we break something off

  1174. from. Then obviously something's got

  1175. them bound that they ain't operate.

  1176. Like the nature that's within them.

  1177. Instead of you. Well I tried man, let's put on a

  1178. little bit long-suffering little bit patients you know some of

  1179. you need say thank you Lord for patients.

  1180. I don't ever pray for patience. Pastor of see that's a

  1181. tradition. I don't have to pray for and I

  1182. have it. It's a fruit of the spirit.

  1183. And let the devil show up. I saw.

  1184. All right, I worked a patient's wear him out with my patients

  1185. but love operates in patients, as long as patients is needed

  1186. because in all of a sudden some other fruit starts showing up

  1187. about love. And it is show up hallelujah.

  1188. It's go ahead and Smile everybody smile.

  1189. Amen, go ahead. Just tap your neighbor and say,

  1190. man. I love you so much and see me

  1191. all sitting with family. All right, so we're going to do

  1192. this Sunday. I don't want you to sit with

  1193. your family, seriously. I'm serious on Sunday.

  1194. Go find somebody else in the family that you don't go home

  1195. with. I mean, I spent a lot of time,

  1196. my wife, I don't sit with her ever in service.

  1197. In fact, we come to church. We already see each other.

  1198. Why? Because I see her a lot, and you

  1199. mean a lot to me. I'm not going to make you do it

  1200. forever. Just one service.

  1201. All right, I really want to sit by my wife.

  1202. She's gonna be there when we leave.

  1203. You might appreciate her more. Find somebody and say, man, I'm

  1204. so glad you're here today, boy, I believe we're going to get a

  1205. great word today. You ain't sitting with your

  1206. spouse, you know what happens in something wrong.

  1207. But if you're all split up then they won't think that they'd be

  1208. like he nobody sent with her spouse.

  1209. What's going on here, man? I say my wife all the time, I

  1210. just want to come see another brother and sister in Christ to

  1211. hang out for a little bit. I wanted to worship with you

  1212. today. It takes effort, though.

  1213. Right? Because the love of God, is it

  1214. just natural? It's Supernatural.

  1215. We have to put stuff down, just like I have to put down stuff

  1216. with my wife and she has to put down stuff with me. .

  1217. It happens. You put it down and you say, you

  1218. know what, I'm just not gonna do that.

  1219. I'm gonna put on God. I don't care how I feel right

  1220. now and then love of God prevails.

  1221. Then I like, I'm so glad I did that.
