thank God. Amen, and Amen go with me. In the

Book of Matthews, chapter eighteen. In the Book of Matthews,

chapter eighteen, and we're going to start at verse six,

were talking about the seriousness of offenses, Amen, sin avoiding sin.

These scriptures in this chapter and there are other conjunction

connecting scriptures and chapters that I'm gonna deal with this morning, Amen,

dealing with this temptation that we sh The temptation is

always gonna be there, Amen, is always gonna be there,

but we need to avoid it. We need to avoid it.

We don't need to give into it. But it's coming

because it has the power to do so and the

right to do so. Amen.

And God allows it.

That's the most important part. God allows it for the

strengthening of our faith. Amen. In the Book of Matthews,

chapter eighteen and verse six, But whoso shall defend one

of these little ones which believe in me? It's not

referring to weak Christians. It's referring to the little ones,

the new believers. It were better for him that a

milestone were hanged about his neck and that he were

drowned in the depth of the sea. It's just Jesus Christ.

It's just the word of God using symbols. It's symbolics,

just symbols to help us understand these things. In the

spiritual sense. A man, he says, woe into the world

because of offenses, woe into the world because of offenses.

He says woe into the world because of offenses, talking

about how the world will bring offenses against the true

believers of God. So for the world to offend one

of us, God warns them, for it must need be

that offenses come. They gonna come due to the fall

of man.

They coming.

But woe to that man by whom the offense come

in woe to the person, that one that touches the

true believer of Jesus Christ.

Woe to him.

Wherefore, if your hand are your foot offend, you cut all,

cut them off, and cast them from you. It is

better for you to enter into life haught are maimed,

rather than having two hands or two feet to be

cast into everlasting fire. And if every eye offend you,

and if your eye offend.

You pluck it out and cast it from you.

It is better for you into life with one eye,

rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Take heed, Take heed, Take heed that you despise not

one of these little ones. Don't despise the one who

trusts in Jesus Christ. For I say unto you that

in heaven, did y'all hear that they're angel the little one?

They're angels? Do always behold the faith of my Father

which is in heaven. Every true believer is a sign

of angels. Amen. Every true believer is a sign and angel,

and every one of those angels that every true believer

is a signed to that angel reports to heaven, goes

to heaven and report to the Father, our Lord, and

saving Jesus Christ and everything pertaining to that believer.

Amen.

Let's look at verse twelve of the same chapter. How

do you think if a man had as a hundred

sheep and one of them be gone astray, does not

he leave the ninety and nine and go into the mountain.

So he's right here explaining how extensive it is and

how precious it is that the Lord finds that lost

one and seeks that which is gone astray. So what

this is saying, right her, this proves this scripture here.

It proves what I was telling you earlier, that the

believer can go astray and refuse to come back if

he don't want to come back. And if so be

that he find him knows the language, and if so

be that he find him, so if so be that

he find it that lost sheep, because it's possible.

That the sheep can't be found.

Fairly, I saying to you, he rejoiced more of that

sheep than the ninety nine, which went not astray. Now

he's not trying to belittle the ninety nine. It's just

it's just a victory for God to bring back that

sheep that was in the hands of the devil a

man and shows victory over the devil. That's why, not

that the ninety nine were not as important as the

as the one that was lost, but that the victory

was taken over the enemy.

Even so, if it is not the will of your.

Father, which is in heaven, even so, it is not

the will of your Father, which is in heaven, that

one of these little ones should perish. It's not God's will.

He's proclaiming right here that it's not his will that

any soul should be lost. And it shows the preciousness

the value of the soul to God. Amen. Amen fifteen says. Moreover,

if your brother shall trespass against you, which means, if

he sends against you, go and tell him his fault

between you and him alone.

Don't go tell everybody else.

Go to him and go by yourself at this particular time,

because God has order and the order is that you

go and you let him know what he did or

what she did to offend you, between you and them

by yourself, it says, go tell him his fault between

you and him alone. Now, if he shall hear you,

you have gained your brother. You got him back, so

that dispute is settled. But if he will not hear you,

then take it. Then take with you one or two

more than in the mouth. In the mouth, in the

mouth of two or three witnesses, every word may be established.

There'll be a witness to what every word was said.

The witness out to be able to connect and be

able to witness the very words you spoke, so that

nothing can be taken out of content. Amen, Because you

done took two or three witnesses with you, just in

case one of them didn't hear it all the second

or the third one they got it together and they

can witness to it, and they are impartial.

Amen.

And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it

until the church. So you go and you talk to

the elders of the church. Tell the elders of the

church they ain't accepting the repentance. He ain't recepting it,

But if he neglect to hear the church, so he

ain't heard you, he ain't heard your witnesses. He don't

want to hear the church. He just don't want to

hear it. That's the same thing as a lost sheep.

But if he don't, but if he didn ne elect

to hear it the church, let him be unto you

as a heathen, a heathen man, and a publican. In

other words, there's no more fellowship with this individual. Amen,

there's no more fellowship. You don't hear you, He don't

hear you witnesses. He don't want to hear the church.

You can't fellowship with him. Shake the dust off, Let

him go his way. He's like a heathen. A sinner,

in other words, may be seated in the house of

the Lord, Thank you.

Jesus.

Here in verse of Matthews, he's describing a terrible situation

because it is a terrible thing for someone to cause

another to sin. Hey, man, I didn't say it was

a terrible thing to cause another one to make another

one sin, because that's what people say to you. You

made me cuss you out, you made me slap you,

You made me drink that, you made me lie I said,

it is a terrible thing, and it's a terrible situation

to cause cause another to sin. You can cause people

to sin, but you can't make them sin because it's

their choice to sin or to not sin. But you

can cause them to sin. But it's a terrible thing

because as a believer, we already constantly attempted by the

world to do evil. Believers are constantly being tempted to

do evil by the world because someone because someone causes

them to sin, doesn't mean that your respect that you

don't have any responsibilities to that day man, because we

as believe us, every single day in our lives, as

believe us, we're constantly tempted by the world to do evil.

But it does not excuse the believer us.

Just because someone caused them to sin, it don't excuse us.

That's the reaan why I say, you can't say, well,

you made.

Me cuss, you made me lie.

You ain't excuse because you believe somebody made you do it,

and they didn't.

Make you do it, they caused you to do it.

And that's the reason why I say we got to

stay focused earlier in Sunday school, because when we focus,

they can't cause us to do it. We got to

remember Jesus. If you always remember Jesus, you'll.

Do what's right. We won't do us wrong. We just

got to keep them on our mind.

And it's a strange thing that when trials and tribulations

come upon our life, we forget God's words for an

instant sometimes and period.

For some of us, we forget the word of God.

And that the Holy gooes quickens us and brings us

back into remembrance of the word of God that will

come subject again to the ways of the Lord.

Amen.

Amen. You see, as a believer, we have a responsibility,

not just a responsibility, but we have a charge from

God to lead people right.

No matter what they do to us. We got to

lead them in the right way. Amen. These are the

seriousness of it.

And it is serious. And it says in the first

seven waring to the world because of offenses, for it

must need be that offenses come, but woing to the

man by whom the offense coming. Wherefore, if your hand

are your foot, or whatever causes you to stumble, Jesus

is speaking symbolically here, not literally, to cut your cut.

Your hand, or you pluck out your eye. He don't

want to. He don't want you to literally do this thing.

It's just symbolic. In other words, whatever gets in your

way that causes you to stumble, get it out of here.

It's so only saying get away from it. Whatever it is,

whoever it is, whatever it is, whoever it is. Sometimes

things cause you to stumble. Sometimes people cause you to stumble.

But whatever it is and whoever it is, get it out.

He and mean to literally cut your party body parts.

Ah.

He meant that if you desire to follow him, and

that should be our desires that believe us to follow him.

Not only a desire, but it should be a will

to do.

Hey man, not just a.

Desire I desire I should turn into a will to

do to follow after Jesus Christ. And to do that,

we must remove any stumbling block that causes us to sin.

And that means we must cut off any relationship, any habits,

any practices, any activities that leads to sin, any relationship

anybody were hanging around with that is not saving. See

first of all, saying he got a business hanging around folks,

ain't say no business at all. As a matter of fact,

if you hang around with people that's not saved. You

are in a You in a rebellious state to the

word of God.

It's just a simple it's just that clip believe it.

I don't believe it. And if you think you can

handle it, the devil will hide those very attributes from

your behind and you'll be doing them and won't know it.

For the Bible the clouds, and the Bible is true,

and the Bible will not come back void. The words

of the Word of God will not come back void.

The Word of God says bad communication corrupts good habits.

You hanging around with heathens, You're gonna be corrupt. You

can't stop it. I don't care who you think you

are or how strong you think you are, So with

any relationship, get out of it, get away from it.

I don't care if they kin to you. See, God

ain't putting those stipulations on that. If the cant you

is okay, he say that. He said bad communication corrupts

good habit.

Get away from them. People keep doing it. See the

little things like that that gonna catch you unaware. You're

gonna wind up.

In hell because you believe why that's my homegirls, my homework.

They okay, they good.

They just don't do this.

And when you say they just don't, you in trouble.

They ain't following Jesus Christ. You ain't got no Betternes's

hanging around them.

You can hang amongst them, but you can't hang around

with them.

You can't hang out with and then you're only hanging

amongst them to tell them about the Lord. If they

don't want to.

Receive it, they don't want to be saved. Get away

from them and move on.

Habits. Whatever kind of habit you got, it ain't it

ain't clearly holy before God. Smoking and clearly holy, drinking

ain't clearly holy. CUsing ain't or should I say, profanity

ain't truly holy. Any kind of habit you got like that,

watching the wrong stuff on TV not clear to holy.

So whatever habit you got, you need to denounce them.

And as God that's delivered you from relationships and from

habits and from some practices that you practice that's not

holy to God. Some things that people practice are the

money which craft, but they don't. They practice them unaware.

But the Bible means you aware.

That's the reason why you gotta study and show yourself

a proof. So you've be aware of these things. Any

activities you ain't got no business watching scary movies, they demonic.

Any activities you ain't got.

No business going to the club, turning it up, any

activity that does not give God glory. This walk ain't easy,

and you can't do whatever you want to do because

you said you gave your life to God. So now

you gotta do what God say do. If you want

to make it to the Kingdom of Heaven, you gotta

do what God say do. If you don't, you're gonna

be caught underware. And if you don't care, that's between

you and God. I care. I don't hang out with sinners.

I hang amongst them and I tell them about Jesus.

I watch the habits, the practices, the activities. Some things

don't look bad, but you better. You better consult the

Lord and make sure you know there were there. There's

there's a religion, some religious people who believe that the

TV is a hell of vision. And they do believe right,

but they also believe wrong. They also believe if you

have a TV that you cannot be saved. There's no

way you save with a hell of vision. Now that's

what they believe. They literally, if you join that ministry,

they want you to bring your TV and they set

that TV on that altar and they'll hammer it to death.

They do that. Literally.

I'm telling you the truth from here to go with.

This ain't no story that I made up.

This is true.

This happens, and it's happening. They're ministries like that because

I know him personally, not what somebody told me. I'm

not telling you what somebody told me. I'm telling you

what I know. I experienced it. But see the thing

about a TV is this, See that's false teaching. And

a TV can be a hell of vision. That's true.

But see as an individuals, as a true born believer,

you gotta know this everything God made. Everything that God made,

this that TV watch He made for us richly to enjoy,

even the TV. But see the things that God has

made for us rich to enjoy. Some of the Internet,

all of that folks have desecrated and use it an evil.

What am I saying as a saying to God? You

watch TV and they call it a hell of vision,

But you got to know how to get the hell

out of the vision. See the TV, don't put the

cell phone where they want you to watch. You put

the TV on what you want to watch. So that's

how you get the hell out of the vision. You

ain't got to beiness watching stuff on TV. Polling pornography.

You ain't got to miss watching that on TV. You

ain't got no business watching on stuff on TV.

That's fake.

Your flesh change channel. That's how you get the hell

out of the vision, hey man. So these things is

what we must do to be able to follow him

and elude the temptation to sin.

Hey man, these are the things we must do.

He don't want you to literally cut your body parts off,

because we got to understand something about that too. If

we if we see, we must understand that our desire

has to turn into wheeler.

Hey man, anything you desire to do, you might do it.

You might not do it.

But if when it wants, that desire turns to will

to do, that's what you're gonna do. People say it

all the time, man, I shoot, I wanted to go

to that thing, but I just didn't make it.

She had a desire to do it.

But you ain't do it. You ain't gonna do it

till you get a will to do it. You have

a desire, But until that desire turns into will, that's

when you're gonna do it, hey man. So you must

remove any desire or willingness to do of things that

don't line up to God, hey man. Because just cutting

your arms off, just plucking your eyes out, cutting off

your limb, that commits sin. Because we got to understand,

the body is the instrument that we use to commit sin,

hey man. It's the body that we use as an

instrument to commit sin. But just because if we literally

did do that, cut off these body parts and all

of this stuff, the eye that lustest and all that,

it won't get rid of sin. It won't get rid

of it because see, sin begins in the heart. That's

where it's got to be delivered from. Not the hand,

not the hind, but the heart. The hand can touch.

Something, but it's until the heart commits to it.

Your heart, not the pumping blood thing, but this right

here in your mind, it's not until it commits to it,

because it all begins in the heart, in the mind.

And see what God wants from every believer, This is

what God wants from every single believer. He wants us

to renounce sin instead of holding on the sin he

wants us to renounce it. The hand, the eye, the

foot are not.

It's not the real cost of the offense.

Amen.

Just as temptation.

Arises from within and from within, so those offenses arise

from without. Amen. So we got to understand that temptation

is coming and has come and will continue to come.

But we have to be in the right state of

mind when it does come, so that we can resist it.

And how do we get in that right state of

mind the way the Bible told us to do it.

To let this mind be in you that was also

in Christ Jesus. And when we let that mind be

in us that was also in Christ Jesus, then we

can submit to God resists the devil, and sin won't

come in full bloom. Amen, Because understand, the body is

the instrument of sin, and it's the instrument of righteousness.

The hand, in, the eye, on the foot are not

the real source of temptation, nor are they the real

cause of offenses others. Just as temptations arises from within

soul does offenses.

Amen, So Jesus.

The Bible goes on to say in the Book of Matthew,

chapter eighteen and in verse ten. Take heed that you desire,

not one of these little ones. Take heed that you despise,

not one of these little ones. Jesus is warning against

looking down on others. Amen.

You can't look down on others. That's an offense.

Amen. Let's look at the Book of Luke to break

this down a little bit more. Luke Chapter eighteen. Are

y'all with me? Amen? Luke Chapter eighteen, Starting in verse nine,

the Bible says, this is talking about the Pharisee.

And the Republican. We've heard this story before, Amen.

And when we break it down, it says, and he

spoke this parable, and he spoke a parable into a

certain witch. Trusted in themselves. These are self righteous people,

people that trusted themselves are self righteous, that they were

righteous and despised others because they were better than everybody else.

That's how they felt. The two men went up into

the temper to pray, the one of Pharisee and the

other Republican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,

thus with himself, death with himself. In other words, he

wasn't praying nobody but hisself. God. I thank you that

I am not as other men are extraorders, unjust adultrus

or even as this republican, or even as this publican.

So he's praying.

To himself. He ain't praying to God. He's trying to pray.

And as we say, throwst salt on somebody. I fast

twice in the week. And now he's talking about his righteousness,

his self righteousness. I fast twice in the week. I

give tithes of all our possessed. And the Republican stands

afar all would not lift up so much as his

eyes into heaven, because he came with humility. But the

Pharisee came pride. He would not lift up so much

as his eyes into heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying,

God be merciful to me, a sinnerm I tell you

this man went down in his house justified rather than

the other. For everyone who exalts himself shall be a base,

in other words, rejected from God, and he who humbles

himself shall be exalted. So this is the basis of

acceptance to God, that we will humble ourselves, and he

who humbles himself shall be exalted.

Once we humble ourselves, God will exalt us.

This is the acceptance and the basis of the acceptance

that when we come to God we humble ourselves. We

don't come with a self righteous spirit. Amen. So in

verse ten, where it reads in Matthews, take heed that

you desire, not that you despise, not one of these

little ones. For I say unto you that in heaven

they're angels. Do always behold the face of My Father,

which is in heaven. See the angels. They always have

access to God. Amen. These are ministering angels sent from

God to help those who will receive salvation.

These are ministring angels.

And Hebrews chapter one, in verse fourteen, Psalms ninety one

and nine through eleven. You read about these ministering angels

Daniels chapter.

Ten, verse ten through fourteen.

You're write this stuff down. Amen. In verse twelve of

Matthews eighteen, how do you think if a man has

one hundred sheep, how do you think see this?

How you think God is concerned about every single.

Believer and will actively go in search of those who

have gone astray, meaning they have gotten out of relationship,

They've gone astray, they've gotten at a relationship with God.

That's why that statement. Once you save, you always save.

Is a lie. If you go astray you've gotten that

relationship with God, you ain't saved no more.

You're in a rebellious state.

You gotta repent. You can't be saved again. You gotta

repent and get back in right standings. And when you

out of relationship with God, you're heading towards false teaching.

This is what happened to people.

They have its year, they're going they get that relationship

with God. They want to believe the truth of the

truth of them is too hard to line them too,

So they go somewhere where they can be appeased, where

the emotions can be stroked.

And not have to face their sin.

Because everything's all right, baby, God understands. Yeah, he understands.

God knows my heart. Ain't know your heart. You know

your heart's wicked. So when you get that relationship with God,

you heading it towards the wrong directions. Amen, you're heading

towards false teachings. You're going down a dangerous path of life.

And you have fallen into sin. And you know, if

you're falling in the sin, it's hard if you stay

too long to get out. Hey, man, it's hard if

you stay too long to get out. The Bible says,

if it be so that he find it that lost

sheep in verse thirteen and fourteen. See, God does not

want any of his flock to wander way. I want

you to stay in the fold. It's called a fold.

Stay in the fall. Don't go outside the fall. It

is danger outside the fall. So he don't want you

to wander outside that fall. And if you happen to

wonder God actively he goes into action, ceaks and rejoices

when the believer returns to him. Oh, it's a party

like never before. It's a rejoicing. It's a celebration that

we can't even imagine in our little mind. But a

sheet that is not found, he is one that is

willingly refusing. He's willingly refusing the faith of God, of

our Lord. And say to Jesus Christ, willingly see. Ain't

nobody making you you willingly doing it? You willingly do

it because you know it a man. See what we

got to understand when God goes after that one that's

went astraight, God know where you at. We just used

symbolic words as he found him. You have to find

you ain't know where you was at. But he goes

after you. This is how you go after you in

your heart. He goes after you to remind you who

you were, where you was at what you once believe

your first love. It's not that God cannot find him.

It's that he does not want to be found. It

ain't up to God.

It's up to him. It's up to God to do

what he gonna do, and that's he gonna hes gonna

seek you.

He coming after you. But if you don't want to

be found, then that sheep will perish. You're gonna You're

gonna die and be tossing to the lake of fire.

But God wants every believer to be part of the

rescue team of the lost.

You see, it's not just.

My responsibility, it's every believers responsibility, ay Man, to form

a search party for the.

Lost of Jesus Christ.

It's every believers responsibility to form this search party for

the loss of this world. Not just one individual or

two are ten, but every believers responsibility. It's every believer's

responsibility to form this search and look for them who

are lost sheep and who are lost of this world,

and to bring them back to the and to bring

them in Amen to the family. There's a difference right there.

To bring them back to the foe is a once

believer who will fail short and to sin. But to

bring them in to the family is one that was

lost and never was saved.

Amen.

So it's our responsibility to bring back the brethren and

the sisters who have fallen short and forgotten their first love.

And it's also our responsibility to bring back the loss

of this world who's never been found. Amen. It is

our responsibility. It is a team effort of the saints

of God, because it is every believer's job to care

for one another well being. You see, when you got

the Jesus focus on the inside, you'll have this passion

for the loss of this world. But when you don't

have it, you don't have no passion. Something wrong with

your passion, Some wrong with your passion for your brother,

he done fell short and you're talking about him like

a dog. Some wrong with your passion, some wrong with

your passion when you're talking about the sinner. Now, don't

get a twisted There's a difference between talking about folks

and exposing them, Amen, Learn the difference. There's a difference

between talking about folks and exposing folks. Amen, for the

Bible give us a right to expose them.

It said in the scripture. Expose them.

Oh yeah, expose these false prophets and teachers. Expose these

liars and what we call fakers. Amen, expose those impostas.

That's our job to do. And when we're doing that job,

you're gonna hear this from those impostors. The babble said,

you ain't supposed to judge me. The babble say, you

shouldn't be jigged. That's what the impostors are gonna say

to you. Mm hmm. That's what the impostas are gonna say.

You used to, you used to, you used to, I

remember when. That's what the impostas are gonna say. Instead

of accepting the exposure and shump being shown themselves to

correct it, they're gonna make excuses for it. But don't

let that discourage you just because they do. So get

in the word and God will give you a word

to speak to those impostas that they cannot gainsake. No resist,

hey man, because they gonna try to stun you and

shut you down. God. In this verse.

Fifteen, he's trying to.

Show us how to treat the believer who has sinned,

who has fallen short more of if your brother shall

treusfas against you, go and tell him his fault between

you and him alone. If he shall hear you, you

have gained your brother. He's telling you how to treat

your brother. If he's sining, don't damn him to hell.

Go to him this.

And God gives us these wisdom so that we won't

do things the wrong way. So when God tells us this,

it's to keep the harmony in the church. Body, you

should always go in love to your brethren. Let's go

to Gallations chapter six. Go with me Galatians chapter six

and starting in verse one, hey Man, Gallationians six and one,

it says, Brethren, if a man be overtaken in his fault,

if a man be overtaken, if a man so it

pertaining to a man morally failing. Amen. And it's brought

about because one has eagerly placed himself under law. You,

who are spiritual, restore, restore such and one in the

spirit of meekness, never with overbearingness, but in the spirit

of meekness, considering yourselves. See, you gotta do this in

the spirit of meekness because if you don't see this,

This is the wisdom of God.

This is how God. God is so smart. He knows,

he knows how to tell you to go forth in

this thing.

And then he tells you how you got to do it,

and he tells you why. He says, in the period

of neatness, consider yourselves. Why do you got to shit

of yourself? At least you be tempted. At least you

also be tempted.

Amen.

Amen, See, if you don't go consider yourself, you're gonna

open the door to Satan. O your own self while

you're trying to help somebody else. Amen, You're gonna open

the door to Satan. You're gonna open the door for

him to attack you in the same manner he did

the brethren who you went to.

And you're gonna fall shot too.

He says, Bear you want another's burdens, bear better headache

of that individual, Amen, better shame of that one individual,

better spiritual failure.

Of that one.

Bart Bear you want another's burdens. And when you do so,

the Bible says, and so fulfill the law of Christ,

which is the law of Christ Love. When you do

it that way, you show love, and you fulfill the

love that's in Jesus Christ, the passion that's in Jesus.

Christ, for one another.

For if a man think himself to be something when

he is nothing, this is a believer trying to put

hisself above of the other brother who done seeing you.

Don't thinking you better than him because he doesn't fail.

Uh uh. If a man think himself to be something,

something when he is nothing, don't be trying to.

Put yourself above that brother, because he didn't fall short.

He deceived himself. If you do that, what the script say.

If you do that, you deceive yourself, thinking you spiritually

superl than the one that them fell short of the

Gospel of Jesus Christ. No, you ain't, No, you're not.

You can be in the same position He is.

All you got to be get, all you gotta be

is called unaware. See.

I told this one to some guards in the penitentiary.

I said, don't think that you're better than these inmates.

God just gave me a word, and I walked right

up to him and said, don't think that you're better,

because y'all think you're better than these inmates, but you're

not better. The difference between you and these inmates, is

you ain't being caught in your mess. Same thing. Don't

try to exalt yourself. Don't think yourself to be more

than you are when you're nothing, because the Bible says

that we're nothing outside of Jesus Christ. And matter of fact,

it tell us what the nothing is, where as a

filthy rag. But let every man, and then this is

what you gotta do. But let every man prove his

own work. Put your faith in Jesus Christ. Amen, Test it,

Approve it, Amen, and then you'll see how well you

obey the word of the Lord.

And then shall he.

Have rejoiced in himself alone. But let every man prove

his own work. And then shall he have rejoiced in

himself alone, and not in another.

Amen.

So we ain't supposed to rejoice over the failures of

other people. See that's what he get.

I say that.

Sometime then God reminds me you ain't sporea be saying that.

You ain't supposed to be saying rejoicing in the failures

of others, although they deserve it. We're not supposed to

rejoice and party over it.

Amen. Now I say he got what he head.

Coming to him. I am rejoicing. I'm just making a statement.

He just reaped what he sold, and I pray it's

what I say in my mind a lot when I

see certain things, I say in my man, Lord, you

need to help him. He reaped what he sould. But

you can turn it around. God can turn around. Amen.

You reap what you sow.

But we're not supposed to rejoice in the fact that

folks do reap what they sold. Amen, Amen, Verse sixteen

and Matthew's eighteen. But if he will not hear you

and know what you you following the steps, Amen. This

is step two where it was first spoken of in

Deuteronomy nineteen and fifteen. This thing was spoken of and

even in the Old Testament and Deuteronomy chapter nineteen and

verse fifteen, where the others that join in are to

help in reconciliation and at the second meeting, hoping to

settle the matter privately, and they serve as witness to

the meeting. So the second step is to take people

with you and in hopes that when you do that

that you can that you can settle this matter. But

if you don't step sep Verse seventeen. This this is

another step. This step is done if the person refuses

to listen and there is no reconciliation reconciliation in step two.

There's no reconciliation. He came, he ain't coming back, so

you go to step three. So step three. This objective

at this point still is not disciplinary. It's not a

disciplinary action, but helping the center person to see his

own or her own faults. You're trying to help him.

You're trying to help him to see her own faults

that they may repent, hey man, and be restored. But

if that don't work, the fourth and final step is

to disassociate with that person. This is the help of

see when you disassociate, you still helping her. This is

the help that person to see his or her sin

and repent. When you disassociate yourself with him, ay man,

they see you don't want nothing to do with them

no more. Maybe your mind will go to the conclusion

of why. Then some people's minds won't, and some people

minds may because the Second Crinchions, Chapter two and verse

five it tells us, but if any have caused grief,

he has not grieved me. But in part Second Crinchions

chapter too, Yeah, but if grieves me in part that

I may not overcharge you. All sufficient to such a

man is the punishment with which was inflicted of many.

So the counterwise you are to rather to forgive him

and comfort him. Least perhaps such a one should be

swallowed up would over much sorrow. Wherefore I beseech you

that you would confirm your love towards him. In other words,

do more than say you love him, but rather show

your love to this end. Also did I write this

is why I wrote it, that I might have the

proof of you, whether you obedient in all things.

To whom you forgive anything I forgive.

Also, for if you forgave anything to whom I forgave

it for you for your sake, forgave I it in the.

Person of Christ.

Least is why least Satan should get an advantage of us,

For we are not ignorant of his devices. Because if

you don't forgive others, God won't forgive you. Hey man,

we know that. Hey man, we know that. It's not

that we don't know that because we got to understand something.

I don't care what church you go to. They ain't

never be no perfect church. I should have said like this,

there will never be a church on this side that

would be free of people members who commit sin. You

ain't gonna never go to no church where members where

some members don't that are members of the ministry, don't

commit sin. But this person described here in the scripture

has a huge blind spot to sin. That's why that

when you went to him personally, when you took two

or three, when you took him before the church, he wouldn't.

You couldn't restore them, You couldn't get the reconciliation because

he got a.

Huge blind spot to sin.

So this person refuses to listen to those who God

has sent to help him. Yeah, God sent you to

help him. Don't get discouraged because you didn't help them.

God sent you to help them, but you can only

help them if they want.

To be helped. You can't make them take the help.

Yes, he sent you, and we believe that God prepares

the person that he sends us to, and he does.

But if that person don't want it, he ain't gonna

take it, And sometime we get the scurage if he

don't take it.

Don't get the scared. You did what God told you

to do, because if God sent you, I said, if

He sent you just went on your own. Yeah you

got a problem.

Yeah you need to get the scarage, turn the flip

and everything else. But if God sent you, don't get

the scared. Don't get the scared because that person got

a huge blind spot. But just because God sent you

don't mean they're always gonna listen to you, because some

people are just gonna refuse to listen to those who

God has sent to help them. But in the body

of Christ, we are to teach. In the body of Christ,

we are to challenge, we are to encourage, we are

to admonish, and we are to help. In the body

of Christ, me and you and those listening, we are

supposed to teach, challenge, encourage, admonish, and help and most

of all, we're supposed to love them. Amen. And we

can't And we can't teach them, we can't encourage them,

we can't admonish them. We can't even help them if

we don't love them.

Amen.

And that's not our love, but the agape love of God.

There can be there can be no there can be

no no real true fellowship with the believer. No true

fellowship can be established with a believer who commits sin.

No true fellowship can be established.

With a believer.

Who commits sin, and not only that, not only commits

the sin. You have to have both of them together

to have no fellowship with them they commit sin. You

can have fellowship with if they commit sin as long

as they repent. But you can't have no fellowship with

them if they commit sin and refuse the loving guidance

of his fellowship and following to Jesus Christ a man,

there is no true fellowship with this individual who commits

sin and refuses to repent.

You can't fellowship with him. Amen.

Let's see what Nan says is The Bible says in

First Corinthians, chapter five, First Corinthians, Chapter five and verse four,

in the name of Lord Jesus Christ, in the name

of our Lord, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

talking about the head of us, the head of the Church,

when you are gathered together, when you are gathered together,

and my spirit.

With the power of our.

Lord Jesus Christ, with my spirit. When if the God

then gave us the spirit, even gave us the power

and authority to use his name and to use the

power to deliver such an one unto satan. For the

destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved

in the day of the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words,

that the spirit may be saved in the day of

the Lord. So it is in hope that our actions

will cause this person to repent. Amen, Amen, So we

should pray for them and not condemn them. Pray for them,

not condemn them, that in hopes that this individual may

repent of their sin and give their life back to

whom they gave it to from the beginning. And I'm

gonna read this last verse and I'm done. Timothy one

Timothy chapter one and verse twenty, of whom is Heimioness

and Alexandria. So this of whom, if you read the verse,

it's talking about one who is presenting two examples rather

Hemias and Alexandria, two examples of one not holding the

fate of whom is hynemnious Himnius rather and Alexandria, whom

I have delivered unto Satan. It's going back to chapter

uh first Corinthians, chapter five and verse five. I just

read you whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they

may learn not to blaspheme. So all of those that

did depart from the faith. The faith is Jesus Christ,

of course, like these two that they was using as

an example, and all that have left the faith. Talking

about all those who have left Jesus Christ, who was

crucified for us, can only be concluded as folks, as blasphemous,

blaspheming rather Amen, And in that sense, we should have

no fellowship with such a one. Amen.

Are you with me?

So we as believe us, have to stay in fellowship

with the Lord. How we do that studying our word,

not just studying our word, but once studying our word,

allowing the word to manifest itself into our hearts.

That it will come forth in the.

Characteristics of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that we

will have this same communication and conduct with the world

as he did, having the same compassion for the loss

and those that went astray.

Amen.

This is the teaching of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,

to keep us from and to avoid temptation to sin.

Amen. Amen. Amen, this we must do if we want

to make it.

We have two sides. If we want to make it,

we'll do it. If we don't, we won't. And it's

our choice to make We can either do it or not.

Amen.

It's all up to us if we want to avoid sin.
