New Recording (draft)

We thank you, Lord for yet another day. We thank

you for last night's rest and this morning to horizon.

And when we rose up, God, we were in our

right mind. We had a mind to come and serve

Your Lord. And praying for all of those today that

had a mind to serve You today. God, in the

name of Jesus, bless your holy name today, God, and

bless them with a word today they will strengthen them

and keep them. God, bless them who are there that

are not saved with a word that will turn their

hearts to You, Lord, and give their life to You.

Today too may be saved. And bless those who have

walked away and confused God and have gotten angry and

angry at the Church, not realizing it's not you they

angry with. But they're angry with the Church and You've

done nothing to them. So they need to come back

to You, who loved them and is more than willing

to accept them back and continue to strengthen the saints

of God. Today. God, we're living in the dangerous times.

We're living in times where focus is hard to hold

onto God, But with your help, all things are possible.

Help us, Holy Spirit, to hold onto this focus that

we will endure to the end, whatever and whenever that

end is, and that we shall be saved in Jesus' name.

I pray thank God, Amen and Amen. We talked about

Sunday before last. We talked about the power of prayer,

how to pray, and how our prayers met and how

it's not met. Amen. And then we talked about last Sunday,

avoid temptation to sin. Amen. So today we're going to

talk about the avoidance and how to avoid that. And

James in chapter one, starting in verse nineteen, these verses

speak about hearing and doing the word. Now, a lot

of people, people meaning folks in the body of Christ,

hear the word. There are people on the streets that

hear the word. People listening to radios hear the word.

People watching the television hear the word. But they're not

all doing what the word says. Do. Amen. And we

must understand hearing the word is not enough just to

hear it. So here in the Book of James, chapter nineteen,

it says, wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be

swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath. Amen.

This is a key verse. Here in the express this

is three topics that James has developed here in this letter, hearing, speaking,

and doing amen. For the raft of man work it

not the righteousness of God. It does not produce the

wraft of man, does not produce God's righteousness. Wherefore, lay

apart all filthiness and super filthy of knoughtiness, and receive

with meekness the ingrafted Word, which is able to save

your soul. That's it. The Word is able to save

your soul. But be doers of the word and not

hearers only it is say, don't hear it, but just

don't only hear it. Be a doer. Deceive in your

own self. That's who you suceive. You don't deceive God.

I told you can't treat God, can't port the woold

have only per you deceiving is yourself. For if ity

be a hero of the word and not a doer,

he is liking to a man beholding his natural face

in a glass. You done observed yourself, and you've got

what you look like. For he beholded himself and goeth

his way and straightway. Forget it what manner a man

he was, But whoso looketh into the perfect law of

liberty and continue it therein he being not a forgetful hero,

but ada of the work. This man shall be blessed

in his deed. And now notice it didn't say a

doer of the word, a doer of the work, and

the work comes from the word. Amen. And this man,

it says, is blessed. Indeed, in whatever he he does,

he's blessed. Hey, man, that's what he's saying. And if

any man among you seem to be religious, so if

you think you're religious and bridles not his tongue, but

deceive his own heart, this man's religion is vain. In

other words, it's useless. Listen to me, good pure religion

and undefiled, pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father.

Is this? This is what it is to visit the

fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself

unspotted from the world. Okay, this is what true pure

religion is and undefiled. This is what it is before God.

All the other stuff thea aint pure before God. You

heard the Bible, right, it don't start out with nothing

but pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father.

Is this it's trying to tell you something and then

it tells you what it is to visit the fathers

and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted

from the world. And the only way to do that

is to be a doer, not just a hero of

his word. Amen, may be seated in the house of

the Lord. See he's speaking here in an ABC in

verse nineteen. And it does not mean that we are

to refrain from speaking. It ain't telling us that where

for my beloved brother. Let every man be swift to

here and slow to speak. It's not telling us to

refrain from speaking. But we are to be ready and

willing to listen. Yeh, hear what I said. A whole

lot of people hear things, but they ain't listening. See,

listening requires your attention. Hey man, they're hearing the word

of God, but they're not listening because it requires your attention.

And when you get your attention, that's what God trying

to do. You say it all the time, don't you

just said it back the Lord trying to get the Lord.

I hope the Lord got our attention. I hope the

Lord got their attention. It's your attention. The only way

to get your attention is you got to be listening.

And the only way you're gonna be listening, you gotta

first hear it says. It says quick to listen and

slow to speak. I was talking to a lady the

other day and she was just talking, sid man, ain't

what I'm talking about. See the Bible be swift to listen,

slow to speak. You're not even talking about what I'm

getting ready to tell you. I said, the Bible say

you make a shame of yourself, and she did, and

she smiled. She wasn't offinished. She took it and understood it.

She began to listen to what I was saying. Then

she knew she was going in the wrong direction, but

she began to talk before I could even tell her

what I'm talking about. So we have to be quick

to listen and slow to speak. See this should be

taken together as size of the same coin. Listen, quick

to listen size of the same coin, slowness and speaking

being speaking with humility and patience, not with haughty words

are non stop gabbing. Now, I practiced this because of

the gift that God has given me. Sometimes I say

a lot of times right, they don't need lying back.

I cut folk off in the conversation. But the reason why,

and I'm not saying the reason why is though I

have an excuse because I don't. But the reason why

I do that because a greater percentage of the time

God already revealed me what they gonna say, So I'm

having to have to learn the patience of waiting to

actually hear it. I already know what they're gonna say

a lot of times, and sometimes I might say something

and if it no not exactly that, so okay, now

I need to shut up so I can actually hear

it what's on their heart. But it takes it consists

of patience because if you can I say this all

the time, if you consistently talk, and they do too.

Who's so if you consistently talk, it keeps and it

also keeps a person from being able to hear you

gotta you gotta You ever see people that they don't

take a breath and you're waiting to get you you

You're patiently waiting, but at some point you you know

you have to you just cut them off so you

don't lose your thought. Whole lot of people you need

a pad and a pencil to talk to because they

don't breathe, so we got to be able to hear.

The person has to be able to hear you. Because

wisdom is not always having something to say, Hey man,

it involves listening. Wisdom involves listening very carefully to those

that are speaking to you and speaking quietly to them. Amen.

Because when we talk too much and listen too little,

we communicate to others that we think our ideas and

what we're saying are much more important than theirs. If

somebody ever call you on the phone, it happened to me.

I don't know about job, but I'm smiling because I'm

sure it has. You don't call somebody. You got a

concern and you need to talk to somebody, and you

start talking to them and they tell you all they

problems and you never even got to tell them what

you call for. I'm just saying slow to anger. You see,

anger closes our minds to God's truth. That's why we

have to be slow to anger, because it will close

your mind to God's truth. I tell people all the time,

we get upset and we get we get out of content,

out of character real and that's because in that anger,

we forget what God tells us to do aymen, and

so we go, and we we be angry and sin

instead of what God says, be angry and sin not.

Proverbs thirteen and three tells us he that keepeth his

mouth keepeth his life, but he that opened wide his

lips shall have destruction. This is Proverbs. And then Proverbs

also tells us in the tenth chapter that was thirteen

and three, and in ten and nineteen it tells us

that as righteousness tendeth to life, so he that pursueth

even pursued it to his own debt. And seventeen and

twenty eight tells us that means you just can't shut up.

Seventeen and verse twenty eight tells us, thank you Lord

that even listen to this. This is how to just

help you. This right her just really how to help you.

It says, even a fool, even a fool, when he

holdeth his peace keep silence, is counted wise. Even when

a fool, when he hold his peace, shut his mouth

and listen, he's counted to be He's a fool when

he counted to be wise at that time, hey man,

And he that shut at his lips is esteemed a

man of understanding. Hey man, got one more for you,

Gonna help you, help you listen, listen more, help me

listen more. Thank you Lord. Be quiet, even though I

may know, be quiet and just listen to the whole man.

Seeing thou a man that is haughty in his words, words, words, words,

not just words, but words. It's more hope. Here we

go again. You ain't gonna like this, you know. It's

more hope of a fool than of him. Yeah. So,

so when injustice comes upon us and sin occurs, we

should become We should become angry when we are unjustly done,

and when injustice comes up on us, and when injustice

come upon us and folks sin against us. Yes, we

should be angry because others are being hurt, not just

when we see injustice upon ourselves, when we see injustice

upon other people. Yeah, we ought to be hurt. Why

Because Jesus Christ is hurt. He has compassion for that,

and if we have him, we should be too. See.

That's thing we really got to understand about all of

this is that knowing that when we have him, all

of this stuff applicable to him should be applicable to us.

When you see people being being rude to other people.

We should feel some kind of compassion for the both

of them, not just the one, not just the victim,

but also the other one. We're more angry at the

drunk driver and have no compassion for him, but pray

for the one he hurt. What a drunk driver got

a demon? We should have some compassion for him. He's

demon possessed. Yeah, he raped that little girl, he killed

that baby, But we Jesus still has compassion for that murderer.

That pediphier. Kind of hard to take in and kind

of hard to take. Take a little compassion for them. Man,

I was watching those cases where criminals had no compassion, uh,

show no remorse. These are true stories, and when I

was watching it, I don't know why the judge allows us.

It does no good. They allowed the family to take

the podium and the ladies, I hope you're burning rotten

hell for what you did to my child. And I'll

never I listened to the world forgive you. You know

it's gonna happen to her. I'm saying, that's the reason

why that you have to have that compassion for them,

for both of them. And then they tried to sell

all of them. It ran away from that poem to

get to them. Two brothers got to that one guy

they were trying. They were beating them down in the court.

They beat them down through the courtroom floor, and the

babies fell and got them.

Off of them.

Because that blind and can't see, they can't recognize. I

put my own self in that position when I'm watching this,

What would I do? You got to you got what

would you do? Hopefully, prayerfully you would do what Jesus?

Did you see Jesus retaliating when they were beating the

crap out of him. He could have they they didn't

have the power to hold him to that post and

beat him. They didn't have the power to lay him down,

nail him to that cross. They didn't have the power

to do it. They didn't have the power to do that.

He could have retaliated. He didn't even have to retaliate it.

He didn't have to go if he didn't want too.

But he had to go because he had to. If

you understand what I'm saying, he didn't have a power.

They didn't have the power to do it. Think how

fust the fun Think how fuss That's why the angels

say they don't know. That's why the angels say they

don't understand why God is so mindful of us. The

angels was on attack mode when they was with when

what they was doing to the Savior, they were on

a tack mode. All Jesus had to do was hit,

and they would have took out the whole place. The

Bible declass one angel, and he said ten thousand angels

was up their weight. One angel can destroy nation. You

ain't what I said. I ain't say a neighborhood. I

ain't say your house. I said a nation. If he

wanted to, he allowed it to be so, and then said,

forgive them, for they know not what they do. He

didn't say sentenced them to hell. He didn't say I'll

never forgive them for what they've done to me. He

didn't say that. See, that's why you gotta be swiftly listening,

slow to speak, so you can understand how God operates,

and so you can operate the same way he operates.

Because when you claiming he's in you, and you don't

act like He would have you to act, you a liar.

You're a liar. I hold makeup because we have listened

swiftly and heard the word of God. It's supposed to

cause us to be doers of the word, doers of

the words. Do what y'all getting this, doueers of Jesus Christ.

Let me put it like that. He's our example. He

showed us even in trials and affliction. He showed us

how to act. He retaliated on the cross. He didn't

retaliate before he got to the cross. He didn't retaliate

when they took him back and forth, trying to make

and pally, trying to find away to get rid of.

And then when he thought he did, because of the

customer tradition, it's still backfired on him and even his

wife and a dream told him, man, don't you have

nothing to do with that man? And he symbolized by

washing his hands. I already know how powerful you are,

but I really don't want nothing to do with it.

You see me washing my hands, don't you. I'm gonna

leave it up to his people, And they chose the thief,

the robber. So we have to take a note from

Jesus Christ. Slow to anger. He didn't say we couldn't

be angry, but he said be angry. He even said

be angry but seeing not, Amen, Because situations, circumstances is

gonna come upon us. We're gonna see people committing injustice.

We're gonna even to us, and and and wrongful judgment

and sinning against us. But we're not. But we are

not to become angry when we fail, because we're gonna

fail to win the people. Amen, angry as far as

unto sining. Amen, we should not become angry when we

fail to win an argument. While are you upset because

you lost argument? You should be upset to the point

where gone somewhere. You know what we do. We should

not be to the We should not be even when

we feel offended, because the joy of the Lord is

our strength. See. Gotta remember the word. When things happen,

it brings you own back around. See. These are the

things that bring you all around and cause you to

be angry for saying not because you know who you

are and you know who's working in you. Huh. I

might get offended, but I'm good. You hear what I'm saying.

I might get offended, but I'm good. Humans gonna get offended,

spirit gonna be, but I'm good. Ah work with me

because self anger never help anybody, Hey, man self anger,

let me help you, Let me help you, Let me

help you. I don't want to just say nothing in it.

In the word of God, God has said it. Ecclesiastic

says the Book of Ecclesiastics, chapter seven, verse nine. Be

not hasty in thy spirit. They talk about your spirit,

that's your flesh, because it's the spirit that's been dealt with.

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, for

anger rest is in the bosom of fools. And the

word is again it rests. I say that rest. It

has a home in the bosom of a fool. It

should not live in you that way. It should not

rest in you that way. But in the bosom of

a fool it has a resting place. Now, if you're

a fool, I understand, right, mm hmm. What we're not done.

Ephesians chapter four, verse twenty six says, be angry and

sin not. God spoke this in Psalms four. So this

in the Old Testament and the New. Amen, let not

the sun go down upon your wrath. Amen, you got

to come to You got to conclude this thing before

the sun goes down. Amen. You know why you gotta

conclude this thing before the sun go down, cause if

you go to sleep, you can die in that anger.

You can die that angle. You better get that thing

take care of. Amen, something might get upset. And I

wonder if you conclusion of this thing because I'm gad

to go to sleep. I actually think like that, because

I don't want to live and not that now. In

Matthew five and twenty one, Jesus says, listen to what

he says. You have heard. You ain't got no excuse now,

because Jesus said you have heard that it was sad.

He said, listen, you have heard. In other words, he's

talking to these daygone nation of Israel, telling them they

have heard. But here's what he tell them. They have heard,

and this is because we have read this before. We've

heard it too. So in other words, they was without excuse,

and where without excuse? Hey man, that's the point he's

getting to. When he said you have heard, he letting

you know. You won't have an excuse because you didn't

heard it. It was sad by them the world and

the not understanding Jews of old time. Thuy shall not kill,

and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of judgment. Amen.

Then He goes on to say, but I say unto

you that whosoever's angry with his brother without a cause

shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall

say to his brother raca racer, what does raca mean?

Empty racer? What is rackerman? That means you empty headed?

Shall be in danger of the counsel. But whosoever shall

say thy food shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore,

if thy bring thy guilt to the altar, yeah, I

better hear this. That's why these people in those courtrooms

that I was watching, they did that, and they probably

never will, some of them. Therefore, if thy bring thy

guilt to the altar and their memories that thy brother

had aught against thee you got something against you, leave

there thy gift before the altar. Drop it off, Get

on down, go handle your business, and then go thy way. First,

be reconciled to thy brother. You gotta do that first,

and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with thy

adversary quickly while there art in the way with him.

Least at any time the adversary deliveredy to the judge,

and the judge deliveredy to the officer, and thy be

cast into prison. Don't kill all doing all that argument fairly,

I saying to thee, thy shall by no means come

out tense till thy has paid the outhermost frightening. He

ain't coming out of it until you paid the price

of forgiveness and forgiving. Amen, come out of your anger. Amen. Amen.

Because James says and one and twenty for the wrath

of man work it not the righteousness of God. So

man's wrath does not produce. See, man's wrath has something

that it does produce, but it does not produce the

righteousness of God. But God the anger will produce the

righteousness of God. You see, God ain't telling us not

to be angry. As a matter of fact, he's us

out and says, be ye angry. He has to you

know what, because Jesus is in you and he's angry.

God is angry, so there's no way God will tell

you not to do something that he do that ain't right.

So he said, be angry, but do what I do

when you do get angry. Sining not See, most folks

would have said Jesus was sinning when he went to

the temple and got angry and turned over the money

changes tables and kicked the folks up out. That was

called a righteous anger. It was a righteous anger, Amen,

because they was out of order. See, man's wrath don't

produce the righteousness of God, but man's anger the results

in it results in thoughtlessness. Get some anger. You ain't

thinking about nothing, Just do it. Thoughtlessness, uncontrolled temper and

leads to hash heart felt words. When you get heart

failed you son of a biscuit, eating you mL just

leads to heartfelt word. Get the so and so if

you heart felt words and those things can never make

it right in the sight of God. Never. Uncontrolled anger

is not consistent with Jesus' command to love our enemies.

It's not consistent with that, okay, man, For Jesus Christ

tells us to love our enemies. Ah, but we have

a hard time being a doer of what we heard. Amen, Somebody,

he still gotta be ader of that word. You can't

just pick and choose what you want to be a

doer of. You can't be You can't pick and choose.

You gotta be a doer of all. That's much called

obedience to the word. Of obedience to some of the

word of God. No obedience to the word of God.

Jesus says, you have heard that it had been said. Again.

You heard what they said, Thou shall love thy neighbor.

This is what they said. This ain't what I said.

But this is what they said. He said. They said,

love your neighbor and hate that enemy. That's what they said.

That ain't what I said. I'm saying that a lot

because I want to make it quite clear, because it's

wrote here in the Bible. Some people can take that

out of content and missed the part where he said,

I didn't say that. He said, that's what they said.

They don't read. They're talking about Jesus can hate your enemy. No,

he said, that's what they said. Jesus say that. This

is what Jesus said. He said, But I say, now

you know he said it right in verse forty four,

he said, But I say, now you know he said,

But in first forty three he said, this is when

you have heard what they had said. But I say,

unto you, love your enemy, bless them? What love them? Man?

Bless them? Hold on? Is he the right? He's the

right one? These ain't just love him? But he said

he said to love them and bless them. That curse

you do good to them that hate do what? Do

good to them that hate you? Y'all holding on to

y'all seat.

This is called being a door and not just a hero.

Can we do it? Can we do what we have heard?

Can we love them? Bless them? Huh? And then do

good to them that hate us? And then we gotta

turn around and do something else. We gotta turn around

and pray for them, which spikefully, I said, spikeefully, they spitefully,

they period feel spitefully use you. Oh so.

I gotta do all this to somebody that'll use me

up like toilet paper. Oh and then I gotta do

one more thing that they do to me.

I gotta do the same thing to them that persecute me.

Y'all still want to be a doer? You might not

be able to help being a hero, But do you

still want to be a doer? My God? And he

ain't through, He ain't do because he goes on to

saying forty five that you may this is why you

gotta do all this, that you hear that ye might

be the children of your father, that you might be

sons and daughters. Being a doer causes you to be

sons and daughters. A doer of all that you heard

him say, causes you to be a son and a

daughter of your father, which is in heaven. For he

maketh his son to rise on the evil and on

the good. He ain't talking about to ask so any

talking about that you in right here, He talking about

that's you in rising, not the s o in. He

make it the su in to rise on the evil

and on the good, and send it rain on the

just and on the unjust. He rain on everybody the

sun he allows to shine on everybody. For if you

love them, this is what you liking them too. For

if you love them, which love you? You know how

we got a partners and stuff. What reward have you?

What got reward? You got because you love somebody love you?

What got the reward? Is that? That's even do not

even the Republicans the same? Don't the sinners do the

same thing. They do the same thing. You doing the

same thing the sinner do. There's no difference between you

and them, then, huh. In other words, God's saying right here,

they gotta be a difference. Your love can't be like theirs.

Your love be like mine, because their love is not

like mine. Don't even they only love them that love them,

hang out with them that would hang out with them,

do good to them that do good to them, hate

those that hate them. You ain't doing no different than

of heathen doing if you're doing it like that. He

told us to love them the enemy, loved them to

curse us. Love them that despitefully use us and abuse

us and persecute us. Love them. And then he said,

bless them and do good to them. Don't you realize

those folks that was persecuting Jesus, he did good to

them because he went to the cross for them too.

Don't you know that he said, bless them. Jesus blessed

them that persecuted him because he went to the cross

for them too. Now you understand while he says, bury

your cross daily. Huh, you understand this. You understand that

now bury your cross daily. You need their cross to remember.

He wasn't done, he says, And if you salute your brethren,

only what do you more than others? Do not? Even

the sinners do? Also the Republicans. But here's what you did.

Be ye there for perfect there it is. Did you

hear that? This is all the folks talking about I

ain't perfect. I'm telling the people of God, be ye

there for perfect. That's Jesus speaking to you and me

even as your father, which is having its perfect. In

other words, when you're a hero, to really become a doer,

you must mature in the word of God. That's what

perfect means. You're mature. You run around here thinking you

one hundred. I can't be one hundred. He asked you

to be one hunded. He said, be perfect. You used

to cuss him out one time, didn't he Huh, You

don't cuss them out no more. Guess what happened right there?

You got perfect? Amen? Amen. So that's why he tells

us lay apart all filthiness and super flutey of knaughtiness

and receive meekness, the in grafted words, which is able

to save your soul. Why well, because progress in our

spiritual lives cannot occur unless we see sin for what

it is. This is why he's saying that it's like

getting rid of our evil habits and actions like stripping

off dirty clothes, and we need to humble, humbly accept

the message of God humbly, not like some folks I've

given the word. You mean I can't do nothing. You're

not humbly accepting the word of God. Day, But I'm

just saying I love them. M you're out order. You're

not humbly accepting the word of God. You have not

stripped off your dirty clothes. Amen. You have to humbly

accept the message of God. Because the unplanet word is

strong enough to save our soul. The implanet word is

strong enough to save our soul. And trials and temptation

cannot decede us if we are applying God's word to

our life. Notice I said it can't defeat us if

we applying God's word. There is another side to that.

Defeat can come if you're not applying God's word. Hey man,

but be ye doers of the word, not heroes only

just even only yourself. In other words, reading and studying

God's word does not perfect us. If we don't obeen.

You can read it, feel good about it, study it,

feel great about it. But if you don't do it,

you're gonna be mad about it. You're gonna be mad

about it. We don't listen to the word just to

know it. There are those that do. There are those

that study the word so they can impress people. They

know exactly the scripture and the verse and the chapter.

They can pronounce the word, that can articulate the word

only to in rest other people. That's not why we

read the word. Hey man. We don't listen to the

word just to know it, but also to do it.

We would be fooling ourselves. Are you listening to me

about knowledge of scripture? If that's all it is to

it is just reading it, articulating, proclaiming it, and not

doing it, we will be fooling ourselves. Amen. God's word

can only grow in the soul of obedience. You see.

It ain't just the fertile ground that the seed goes

in and makes it grow. It's the obedience to the

word that causes it to grow. And when it grows,

that's a sign that is causing you to mature in

the word of God and to be obedient to the

word of God. Amen. In other words, for a listener

to make a difference in a student's life, it must

enter the heart and mind affecting their life. So just

because you read this, it's got to enter into your

heart and be rooted and grounded and planet, which will

cause you to have the obedience to God's word. So

it's important, very important for us to hear God's word,

but it's much more important to obey God's word. See,

you can hear the word of God, and you know

when you hear it the most when you're reading it,

not right now because I'm speaking it. You hear it

a greater a rim when you're reading it. So, because

when you're reading it, you also can hear it. I

suggest the people a lot of times when they're studying

or reading the word of God, to speak out loud,

like you said, in a reading you should read. Uh,

but be ye doers of the word and not hearers

only what happens right there. You're not just a seer,

but you're also a hearer because you're reading, and the

word of God is speaking to you in your in

your physical ear, going down in your spiritual ear amen,

which gets into your spiritual soul, which gets into your heart,

and should cause an effect on you to be obedient

to God's word because you come to understand how important

obedience to God's word is. So it's not so much

so important to hear a word as it is to

obey the word, because you can. You can you can

measure the effectiveness of Bible study time. Are Sunday school time?

Are your study time? By the guess what? Guess what?

Guess what? Guess what you're ready for? It is you're

ready by the effect it has on your behavior and attitude.

This is how you can tell. You can tell about

your own study. You go to Bible study, study in

your home or Sunday school or hear the word of

God and your own study and you study, you gonna

make it. Tell the effect you have on you a boy,

your own behavior and your own your own behavior and

your own attitude. Is this word really directed me on

the path of righteousness? Yes? It is? Whatever I really

on that path? I can't answer that that according to

your behavior and your attitude. Because do you put it

into action what you have studied. That's how you can tell.

Have you put it into action what you study? Because

believe you me, when you study the Word of God,

it may come quick, it may come slow, But whatever

you study coming to you, it's gonna come to you.

I mean it's gonna come to you in the physicalness

of the world. You and man I just study that.

Why it happened For if any be a hero of

the word and not a duer, he is liking to

a man beholding his natural face in a mirror, for

he beholds himself. Go with this way and straightway? Forget it?

What maunt of a man? He is. The one who

listens and does nothing, is like a man who glances

at his face in a mirror and then forgets what

he saw. A like people who take a casual look

at God's word without letting it affect their lives. That's

what it's like. You done read the word. You don't

study the word, but you did not allow it to

affect your life. Because you see, God's mirror is unique.

It ain't like the one in your bathroom, in your bedroom.

You know what this mirror, His mirror is different. His

mirror shows you your see see your mirror, it only

shows you a reflection of yourself. But God's mirror, it's different.

It shows you the inner native of yourself. The inner

native of yourself is what is, what you are, who

you are. It shows you your nature. God's mirror shows

your true nature. The mirror in your bathroom shows you

reflection of yourself. You don't even see yourself you see

a reflection. But God's word shows you you in the

same way that a mirror in your bathroom a bedroom

shows you your external features. God's mirror shows you your inside,

who you really are. But both mirrors show a reflection

of what's there. Hey man. But whoso looking into the

perfect law of liberty and continue there nb he being

not a forgetful hear of it is a law of

liberty because it's free. That's why liberty means free from

the principles of sin and death. This is what Jesus

gave us. People who look steady and study, study with

serious attention, and then make God's law their chosen lifestyle.

They study with close attention, not only once, but continuously.

See a serious man and woman of God studies continuously,

hey man. And as a result of them studying continuously,

they remember. Somebody say, remember God's words, and they remember it,

and they also do what it says. This law sets

people free because it's only in obeying God's law that

true freedom can be found, hey man. Only in obeying

God's word can true feed freedom. Be y'all have to

listen to stay whitness, Stay whitness, stay whipness. This is

a learning experience. Amen, stay whn ive seen some of

your eyes pop open to some of the stuff. I said,

it's a learning experience. John chapter eight and thirty one.

He tells us that John chapter eighteen thirty one. Then said,

Jesus to those Jews which believe on him, if you continue.

I paused right there, because the last word I wanted

to sink in if you continue, if take that, take that,

take that word too, if that's conditional. If you don't,

you will see the opposite of if you do. If

you continue, are you abiding it? Lay in it? A

bast in it? He said, in my word, then are

ye my disciples? Indeed, in other words, ain't no doubt

in my mind who you are? If you abide in it,

bast in it, there is no doubt in my mind

who you are. And ye shall know the truth. Because

when you continue in it, you abide in it, you

gonna know the truth. And guess what the truth gonna

be do? The truth shall make the truth shall make

you free. That's what's gonna happen if you abide in it,

if you basting it. And God will bless those who

look steady at his word. Do what it says, don't

forget what they have heard and obeyed, Because see a

whole lot of people like It's like a man that

looks in the mirror and walks away and forget what

he looks like. Because what they do as they listened

to the word, they heard the word, they and all

of that. But guess what happens after they heard it?

They walk away and forget what it says. Do they

walk away and forget what it can do? See, they

don't just walk away and forget what it does. They

walk away and forget. If they walk away and forget

what it said it can do and what it does do,

that's mean why they crying? They forgot what God's word says? God, Lord,

what we're gonna do, Jesus, they gonna gas pricious this

food and gone up. You don't forgot what word God's

word saying. God's words not contention on what man do.

It's what God does. Lord. They're talking about cutting this

and cutting that. But God didn't cut his promises. They're

still here. God has not I cut his promises. But

we must be continuously seeking his faith. And when we

do that, the results will show the proof of God's

promise you got head, I said, when we consistently seek

the word of God and doing and obeying God's word,

God's word will result in the promises that He has

promised each and every one of us. The law sets

people free because it is only in obeying God, only

in obeying God, that true freedom can be found. Amen.

And if we claim, aw, it's a lot of claiming

out there. Aw, it's a lot of claim I asked, folks.

Sometimes you heard me say this man, do you say

I've been baptized? Did he answer my question? Deep? I said,

have you been saved as you you've been baptized? And

if you've been baptized and you ain't saved, you ain't

been baptized. You just took a swimming lesson. You just

you probably got your bath you ain't took in two

three weeks because you ain't seen no water in the wire.

But you ain't been baptized, because you first must be

saved before you can be baptized. What you mean, precia,

The Bible says, be saved. The Bible says be saved,

and baptizing the name of Jesus Christ. What came first?

It is say be baptized and be saved in the

name of Jesus Christ. It said, be saved and be

baptizing the name of Jesus Christ. So if we claim

to be religious but don't control our tongue, we are

just fooling our own selves. People will know whether or

not our faith is real. It's about what we choose

to talk about and the way we speak. I told

you a long time ago, all folks that do open

up their mouth, and you gonna know what you need

to know about it. For the most fucker, just let

them keep talking. You gonna know where they stand, you

gonna know how they live. Just let them keep talking.

They gonna act out the very thing they singing. You'll

be able to tell by the way they acting, by

the way they speak. And we cannot be obeedn if

we cannot control our mouths noice. James talks about that mouth.

The tongue is an unruler member of our body. Think

about a big old ship. It got a little rudder

behind that turns that big old ship. That's how your

tongue is, turns that big old brain to yours. It

cause your big old brain to speak out of your

big old mouth. So if we cannot control our mouths,

and it is a self, the self to have religious

practices that do not lead to an ethical lifestyle. A

tongue leads us to a dishonor in our life. Amen,

our tongue dishonors God. When we gossip, have angry outburst

harsh criticism. Here come one. You ain't gonna like that.

Your tongue dishonors God, complaining and wrongful judgment. Our verbal

action speak louder than our religious rituals. Let me help y'all.

Our tongue the thing you got in your mouth. Everybody

in here got one. I pray everybody listening got one.

It dishonorts God when we gossip, not when we praise him,

but I praise can dishonor Him. If we ain't right

in our spirit. But we're talking about the tongue, it

will dishonor God when we gossip. It Just y'all, hear

what I'm saying. It dishonors God. God is the one

who wants to dishonor God. That's what I thought. When

we gossip. When we have angry outbursts, harsh criticism, harsh

criticism ain't bad harsh criticism is bad. Angry outbursts are

not even bad. Angry outburst at least the sin is bad.

I gotta show you both sides. A man complaining complain

it ain't bad, but it's bad when you're complaining to

a extent that you don't trust God wrong for judgment.

Judgment ain't bad. Only judgment bad is judgment that you

judge wrongfully. See our verbal verbal actions. When you speak,

people know what you're thinking about. It speaks louder than

our religious rituals. You know how you walking around with them?

Hold you carrying your bales? Ain't saying the word people

looking at you and you perceive in your mind, I

know they believe I'm saving Holy Yeah you do. No,

soon you open your mouth, they gonna know you carrying

their bibles? A lie, real deal. Our verbal actions speak

louder than our religious rituals. Amen. Amen. So the lesson

today is not only just hear God's word, not only

listen to God's words, but be a doer of God's word.

And if you're a duel then you are an obedient

child of God. Amen. Amen, Thank you Jesus, I'm done.

I wanted you to hear those things that can be

challenging to each and every one of us, because a

doer is not as easy as we think. See, we

think about being a doer. Be nice, be good, go

to church, study your word, love the Lord, love everybody.

But see, a doer also has to love his enemies.

Love the one that persecutes you, the one that talks

about you, the one that does wrong, the one that

lies on you a door. Is the one that has

to love them that deceitfully uses and abuses you. That's

a doer. See, we don't think about that part of

the door. We think about the nice, comfortable stuff we

can lay our hand on, the soft pillar. Huh a door.

When the man cuts you off and trashic cut you

off and give you the finger, yeah, cut you off

and talk crazy than you, that's a doer that just

gets angry. Yeah you're gonna get angry. But seeing not.

Sometimes I've seen people. People are cutting me off. I say,

dirty bastard. Then I have to say love forget me.

I'm just saying that flesher jump up in. Now that

flesh knows you well. Don't you ever think it? Don't

it knows you well? And don't you ever think it's

They say you got to kill the flash. They say

you got to kill the flash. You got to kill it. Y'ah.

Are y'all hearing what I'm saying. So, don't you just

think it's dead cause you done killed it? Once it

comes back. Amen. Amen, we're standing
