ARE YOU STILL NEW OR HAVE YOU TURN OLD AGAIN

The Lord is an awesome God, a man.

After God beyond in the go away in the phrase today,

God is the leading light pack. He cares and we

can have any care as m Father. We want to

thank you Lord for all we would asked don if

you said, have.

Done anything exact spoken with and we're not liking, He

asked God.

Right now, search up all the liberal star, any all things,

service the deeps of our hearts. In the name of Jesus,

we come to the God. Humble, We come and bound

out his asking God that you would have imputed us. God,

that what you reuni. It's day and days that.

You may have to come in the name of Jesus,

encourage our hearts.

God. So much is going on in the world, so

many are being discouraged. Lord, we understand that you are

the keepers and the alloted of all animals. You not changed.

The world may have changed, but you've never changed. Your

world will never change. People change, but you never changed.

And help us to stay the same the same as you.

The more you that work at.

The only inside of.

You, the who We've given our lives to you, who.

Have given us our.

Vation and with claiming a new man and the old

man and put to dead that you may live and

we should die on the inside. Raise up in us

for the spirit that we will be pleasing to the

Lord about God. Give us the strength that we need,

the strength that's in you to know, God, that we

already have a victim. No matter what the world is doing,

help us to have nowhere is.

We're generally concerned, but nowhere.

Is gone because you made us a problem. And we

want to pray right down on the evil that's going

wrong in this room, especially in our leaders of this

world and the leaders of this America, as that you

turn them away, God, and when they're going, touch their

mind and go, because we do understand all that they do.

You allow them to be able to do. But it's

always for your glory. So God, have your will, have

your way fall. But we know God, you being a

just God, a holy God, a loving God, that you

will not allowed the righteous to suffer with the wicked.

So it is my prayer God, every wave. God, your

word is truth and all the promises of ours, So

help us all by your oldest period, and we need

not worry. It will be guern because You're promised no

matter what the world is doing you promise to take

care of your people, your children. You promised to take

care of us God, and we believe it on you God,

and he needs last and evil time. These are the

times God, in our strengthen and our faith in you,

a hope of needy.

We believe it in you. Go standing on your word.

Help us God be strong treth and as your world

goes forth today God, let it in hands our minds.

Those that are listening over the airways, touch their minds God,

and pray that this will bring back the backslide and

save the senter and wake up those that have even

saved God, and hold their own to examine themselves because

they deal as the secretly wicked though, and buy your power.

I know you repeat the devil for ourself.

In the name of Jesus. Happy wave God of Jesus,

name and name.

If you will turn with me to the book of Colossus.

And the third chapter.

I want to talk about today, are you still new

or have you turned out?

How have you turned over again? They don't want to

talk about are you still new? Are have you turned

over again? How many of us today are still walking

in the plan of salvation? Because so many have turned

away from the plan of salvation that was once in

the planet.

They turned away from the plan and going back to

their old ways.

Because at one point they troubles to be a Christian

and then found it too hard to accomplish an your

glass and even do it because they're not lead in

an opinion on the law of paying attention and what's

going on in the world. And some of us have

chosen to be a Christian. But if that choice only

on Sunday, or do we continue that every day? Some

folks are the change to be a Christians become the

Church of the Christian attitude, the so called Christian clothes,

which they are acting fool they later.

So I don't know if the Christian Globe.

Christian lindset Christian ethics relevant Christian ethics concerning the carnal

ethics of what Christian should be and not the spiritual

when a Christian open his mind to God at all times,

not just when you believe you need, not just when

you know you trouble, but all the time. Because it's

long and you've heard this before, as long as everything

that is going well with us, we sometimes forget it

why it is, But when we really come to understand

the God that we serve. It's always will with us,

I said, it's always will with us. So I asked again,

are we still knew or have we turned over again?

In the Book of Colossius, the third chapter is talking

about this.

New life that we.

Pursuing you, that this new life that we're claiming and

claiming that the whole life has passed away. So if

it passed away, when something pass away, it's no more right, right.

So let's see amen. In the Book of class the

third chapter, the Bible says the earth, if you then,

then if you then be raised.

With Christ. So you've been raised with Christ. So we

have to see people. We have to seek those things

which are above, where Christ sitting on the right hand

of God. So if we've been raised with Christ, then

we are to be seeking those things that are heaven.

And we should set our affections on things above, not

on things on the areas. A lot of affections should

always be on the theme. With our affections as our

mind should always be on the themes that are heavenly

and spiritual.

And not things on the earth. You may be seated

in announ rule.

And verse three says for you are dead, somebody said, dead,

and your life is hid with Christ in God. So

now that you are dead, your life is hid with

Christ and God. So what means in your life and

your life now had been deposited into Christ. It has

been depositive with Christ, who is in an intimate relationship

with God. And that so it says, for you are dead,

and your life is hid with Christ, and it says

in God. And I say, because Christ has an intimate

relationship with God, so should we.

Amen?

So that means that the believer's new life is stored

up in Gus stress. Amen. So when Christ, first of all,

who is our life, shall appear, then shall he also

appear with him in glory. So in other words, in

order to do this we must verse do verse five

mortify Therefore your members means to put away. I put

to death the members.

Which are on the earth.

So we got to put away those members which are

on earth and pick up a spiritual member. They man.

So the member that we put away on earth. Authortnication

uncleanness in a iteration in duration, which is what is

in ration. In the rations out are are carnal passions

of things afflict evil, h m encompasses, which is desires

and things are not of God encomfortedness, which.

Is idolatry, idolatry not adulty.

But I don't if you're married for your adult I

mean serving idols, you know, idle. See we can deceive ourself.

What I am and I do.

They always affect budden a man.

And I don't.

Can be your car, I don't, can be your money,

and I.

Opn be your children, your husband and your wife, your furniture,

and your house, your house, your job. Put away these things, wow,

because when you become a new creature in Christ, verse

he says for which thing, say the wrath of God comes.

On the children of disobedience. If you hold on these things,

the wrath of God gonna come and gives you.

The verse seven said you you put away these things

become for the sake of the rapt of God coming

on the children disobedience. In the witch, ye also walk

sometime when you live in them.

That means you're.

Used to walk in them. You don't walk in them

no more. But now he also put off all these

things as well. And the rath nolage last week filthy

communication out of your manner see filthy. Communication is not

always in the family field. The communication and need you

lying on somebody, that's filth the communication.

Feel the communication.

When you're talking about somebody, it's filth the communication and

man filter.

Communication is you gossip? It's not always for family.

And you go along and say lie not one to another,

seeing that you have put off all put off the

old man with indeed lying should be old and have

put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge.

So now that you know better.

After the image of Him that created him. So it's

after the image of Jesus Christ, who has the image

of God that created him.

Is the image that we should be showing for ourself

as the new creatures in Christ, as new believers a man.

Because now that we are new, and we should be new,

But are we still doing old things?

This is the understanding today. If we're new, are we

still doing old things? The old things I just mentioned

to you. Are we still doing the old things? And

we have become new? Because if we are still doing

some of those old things, then the light is shining

dimly again, not yet shine, which means there need be

the delfference.

And that.

Keenan said, it has put on the new Man, which

is renewed and happening in him, that creating human. Whether

there is neither Greek learns you it don't make no

different gentuations circumcision or uncircumcisions, and different Circumciserin Jesus Frank

came in a new circuscision with the law for the

people of God who are being gone by the bar insighting,

bond nor free whatever.

Do not if you are slaving, all free. But Christ

is in all, and Christ is all and in all,

Christ is all and in all Amen.

So we understand be talking from these old things, But

what should be evidence of what we are?

Now?

We understand what the old evidence was, and then well

what is the new evidence, because now that we're claiming

to be new.

But if we're new, then we shouldn't be doing the

old thing.

And if we are still doing some of the old things,

as I said, we needed some liberals, and man, if

we want to make it in the kingdom, if we

want to please our Lord, them saying Jesus Christ. So

the virtues of a the new Man, of a new

Christian are the Christians a new Christian. But the virtues

of a Christian brother versus the virtues of the old man,

the things that we have to put on.

In the verse twelve, put on therefore as the elect

of God poll in beloved bowls of mercy, kind of.

Humblement of mind. You gotta hume up and have a

humbleness of mine. The mind can be so quick to ing,

so quick to just to say what you want to

say with not with no governor on your mind, especially

if you're time or your time meetless, long suffer. These

are spiritual things you have to take on, because these

are attributes I want to say to Jesus Christ and

I for burying verse thirteen, for burying one another. That

means you have to bury with one another. But that's

going on, bar Willow. Don't just count out very well

one another and forgiving one another if any man have

a quarrel against any even as Christ forgave.

You, so also you need it or not.

And you have to have the Holy Spirit to operate

in this way. These are spiritual attributes, a virtue of

a Christian.

And above all these things.

Put on charity, because love is the guiding force of

these things that I just mentioned.

That's why I said, which is the bound of perfection.

And let the peace of God ruin in your heart.

To the witch, also you a call in one body,

and you be thank so he has called us.

In the peace of God.

And his calls to let the peace of God move

in our hearts. As the batle said to the witch.

Also here called. But when that's the word of Christ.

In verse sixteen dwelve in you richly in our wisdom.

And this is the two points. Let the word of

Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. So when

a believer, which will be you leaving, when believers are

for a bearing forginning.

And it says in verse thirteen and loving in.

Verse fourteen towards one another, when peace reigns among God's people,

here this and here this, Well, I'm saying as many

times when these things are then attribute of God people

the church is it has futility in soil which the Church,

the body of Christ has good ground for soul, you man.

And then when that happens, the blessing I produced back

Christ's Jesus. This is why always say, when you come

into unison in when in the body of Christ, then

the blessings flow by Jesus Christ. This is why we

must let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly

in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in songs

and him and spiritual songs, singing with grace in our

to the law. And whosoever or whatsoever he do, whatsoever

you do, we don't matter what it is, whatsoever it is,

do it in word, are indeed do it all in

the name of the Law of Genius, giving thanks to

God and the Father not Him.

Amen.

We examine ourselves today? Are we still new and becoming

even newer? I have we went back somewhere and turned

over again, because as we began to revisit these scriptures,

we find that Paul here, Paul in the right of

this book.

Amen, and he's explaining.

What you just heard.

He's explaining true Christian behavior.

Did you give me say? True Christian behavior, True Christian

behavior concerning putting on the news, self accept in Christ,

and regarding the earthly nature as dead. You see, when

we do put on this new man, we also need

a new environment. The old environment will cause us to struggle.

More than we should. We're gonna struggle anyway, but the.

Old environment is gonna cause the new man to struggle

more unless.

He gets into a new environment. A man, you can't

stay in the old environment.

And produce what God is trying to manifest in you

as his son a man. We have to even watch

this walk in he I don't because you have to

counsel out family, friends, associates.

To get in this new environment.

You just can't hang out with any vernet because the

Bible of the.

Class see for a Christian.

God is very wise. God says, you know, he said

all he says, bad communication corrupt good hands. So if

you're hanging out with people that a lot like Jesus

what should be like you, then it's gonna corrupt you.

Just let me think you something.

Don't you ever let the end of the moop you

into believe you can do it. We'll tell you why

you can be for God's sas and God's works. Truth

you you're gonna be around.

People. Ain't saying that's not the same hanging out with

you around people in the house of God, and they say,

we can't hang out. So we have to put away

that earthly nature and the deeds of the earthly nature

and pick up the spiritual nature of our Lord.

To say to Jesus Christ.

So what happens is we change our moral and ethical

behavior by letting Christ live within us.

It's ironic that this lesson today and this sermon.

Today is talking about ethical and moral ways because that's

what we're studying right now in Sunday School, the moral

and ethical ways going. And as a Christian amen, So

we got to change our moral ethical behavior about that

in Christ live within us so that we can so

that not that we can, but so that He can

shape us and man into what we should be. It's

the Christ that shapened us into what we should be.

How does he do that by we staying in his

face get in his word. I cannot emphasize more than

I already have that when you get in the Word

of God, it gets in you.

That's why I say is I'm in him.

And He's in me. Because when you get in the word,

the word gets in you. And when the word gets

in you, it changes things. It changes your etho, ethical

and moral senses. They become new, the old phase away.

We gotta take this serious. One day all of us

are going to meet I mean how we meet him

is up to you, not me. Minds is up to me,

and and and this lesson, this servant comes to me

because I'm looking on.

A daily basis. Sometimes I'm not trying to look.

I just I'm just looking.

It just comes before me because this is what God

wants me to say. It's a message to me.

First, I'm watching people claiming to be saving, claiming to

be a new creature in Christ, and all I see

is old ways. You're just claiming to be doing. First,

one tells us if he didn't been raised for Christ.

If so, if you have, and since you have been raised,

express certainty and man, you were once dead in your sin,

but now you have been raised from death to life,

just as Christ had been raised from the dead. About

the power of God. You have received a new life

from God through the power of the horse. Sir, it's

the new life. So what now? What Now you've got

this new life in the home spirit, what's gonna do?

I wasn't now what's going on with your life?

Now?

Everything's gonna be come new. They're only gonna come new

to get in the work because the Word's gonna change

your old mind to a new mindset. That's how you

can come to get into work. So what now, I'll

tell you what now, Now you got a responsibility to

Jesus Christ, because now you see you the son Bet.

You have responsibility now to Jesus Christ.

Why do you have the responsibility Jesus right, because he

died on across for you. So now you have a

responsibility of Jesus to live right and to understand and

to respect Jesus. Respect the seat that he sets in

at the right hand of God, and the fact that

he sets at the right at the right hand of Gon.

It reveals the power an authority as well as the

judge and application that he advocates for us. How about

all the life and man? When you cut up, he's

jacket with them, God getting ready to judge you. He's advocating.

He got blood on him. It's my blood. There's only

in dc blood. So since we were not only have

we been freed from seeing, we have also turned to

a new life. I can't reiterate that so many times,

but yet I will, because we're supposed to be living

in a new life and we're supposed to be behind

old ways.

Are you hearing? Are you listening old ways, old habits,

old value, old devices, the old interests and seeing.

And then we are seeking things that are abound, like

a deeper knowledge of Christ. That's what we're seeking, a

deeper knowledge of Christ, a closer fellowship with Him, experiencing

his resurrection power and.

Victory overseeing Amen. That means that we must be developing

a new, new and godly.

Virtues and man which is excellent, and the fulfillment of

domestic and social responsibilities.

Also effect that trail life. This is a new man,

old man.

In pre pread on the food, they're doing no good

in preadover God was just versatile kind to him. We

also not only be effect that the prayer like his

one his on that we just don't we just we

just can't see them come being fruitful in Nancy, you

don't want to tell nobody about Jesus.

Matter of fact, we scared to.

Tell us more folks about Jenis.

A lot of times we walk.

Away from a conversation, then somebody else is talking about Jesus.

You get embarrassed wrong away. This is this is when

we are accomplishing all this.

We are accomplishing and obtaining Christian maturity, because you must

mature as a Christian canse they are a babe always

to cause.

It when you was a babe, I would give your milk.

Get grown up now and you still want the milk,

the whole TV amount, chewing up the Nikelosa bottle.

But I still gotta give you a meal because you

ain't got to the men. We got to mature in

this thing.

So then they have being raised in Christ, and not

to see those blessings would be a contradiction to the

fact that he was actually raised with Christ. Too, tells

us about setting nonfections on things above.

You're taking slow.

I want you. I want this to soak in. Sometime

when you pull a walk on something real fast, it

just kind of runs off and eventually eventually it is soaking.

But if you do it's slow.

You ever heard of that, They come it rains when

it's just misery of it. They call it a sunking rand.

Put the call it soaking rand. It gonna soak it.

I want this to sunk it. Those that are listening,

I want this to sunk it. So it says set

your affection on things above in verse two. The Greek

words literally says set your mind on things above, so

as to say that we are not to.

Be preoccupied with things on the earth.

Such as karrent philosophy that people have for you, legalistic stuff,

legalistic practices. Nor are we to dwell on things that

are not wrong in themselves. House, they're not wrong in themselves.

We may have to dwell on them.

Man. A house is not wrong in self, a job, career,

your ambitions, et cetera.

They're not wrong in themselves.

But we are not to dwell on them a man,

because they can be wrong should they become priority over God.

Anything that you make priority over God can become wrong.

He's telling us to love heaven and things, study them.

Let our heart be fixed on them now that we

are converted to God. Be as much in earnest like

heavenly things, eternal thing as we were for earthly things

that actually perish. If people just love their college, they

love it so much, they don't give you a ride

and see you walk and round because you're gonna get

their seats with earthly things and what they the car

gonna perish, it's gonna parish you better. Three and four

talks about.

The deeds and yeah, and you are dead rather than

the life. The moment you see salvation, I said, the

moment you receive salvation the woman.

Everybody don't re see salvation coming all right, in trouble

and ask for men. But the woman, you truly receive salvation.

You dot.

To the evil of the fleinish.

The same nature is gone. And now your life is

heiden in him, because now your life is invisible man,

and it's safe in Jesus, because he said in John

fourteen and nine, fourteen and nineteen other Yet a little while,

and the world seeth me no more, but ye see

me because I live. But ye see me.

Because I live, Ye shall live also. But when he

appears at the raption.

The taking up of the saints, we will appear with him,

and we will be glorified. In Colossians one in twenty

seven tells us to whom God would make known what

he is, the riches of the glory, of his mysteries

among the gentile, which is Christ in you. That's the history,

the hope of glory. Paul goes home the sayd verse

five mortified his name. Paul here is saying, if we

are to live as examples of Christ, we have to

put to death the aspects of the simple earthly things

lurking within us, because those things a lurk within you.

Those from Paul.

Saying, we're gonna have to put away these things.

We're gonna have to live as an example of Christ

by putting to death the aspect of the sinful earthly

things working within us, a sinful nature.

It's the nature that Jesus came to change. We had

a nature.

Then he come to save us from sin, and it

came to change our nature. What you doing, came to see.

It came to change your nature. You had a sinful nature.

So he had to change your nature to a god

of nature. It's your nature. It has to change.

When you change natures, you don't have a sinful ways

no more. So we had to change. We had to

get away from.

Our earth, the earthly things working within us, the sinful

nature that old self.

But don't be harmed. Even though.

Even though we died with Christ, temptation and the evil,

sinful nature still trying on a daily basis, It still

tries you on a data basis.

You die of a chrimes, you've been risen with him,

but that sinfor.

Nature don't like to give up. It still trials us

on a data basis. How does the trials because.

The enemy remembers our own nature. And when you driving down.

The street and you see that billboard with that crown role,

he tried to put a subliminal message in your head.

You remember how good that tastes. You, Remember how good

that tastes. Don't act like you don't remember good.

A good dead taste.

Now you might be.

Walking in the mall in this day and town. It's truth.

Smell some weeds you you gonna tell it, I said,

Gunshoy right there. I remember that.

It's aubliminal message to try to get you to go

back to your old nature. Trigger It's still gonna try

you on a daily basin. But we have the hold

on the golf working for our life. And listen to

the Holy Spirit. We got the hold on the God

for our life. And listen to the Holy Spirit. Because

the spirit of the enemy is gonna be speaking at

old stuff to you. But because you're new in Christ,

the Holy goals are gonna continue to speak the new

things and the way that you are now.

And let you know, no, you ain't not that, no more,

you this way now.

Because if we don't, God's judder on those cameras, behaviors

will come upon us.

Is nature, God's nature. God's nature does not allow sin

to go unpunished.

That's his nature. He don't allow sin to go unpunished.

You think they deven where God is gonna be on.

He don't allow no sin to go unpunished. Sin and

sin to God. There's no weight with sin concerning God,

like there is weight with man concerned sin.

What are you talking about preaching?

I'm talking about Man will put you on probation, Man

will put you in prison. Man will put you in

jail for a few days. But you're independent from the sin.

In other words, man has a level of what he does.

When you sin, you steal a piece of bubble gun

that might slap you on the restan you don't pay,

your restitution gone away. If you murder a man, you

get convicted. If you go on the potential, see what God?

If you still that bubble gun, I murder a man.

If you don't repent, you going to head. Ain't don't wait,

he don't wait. It always is on the scale, like

even you're seeing you're going to hell. You don't repay.

Man weighs sining.

God's nature does not allow sin to go unpunish, And

some people try to get around it.

But at the end of the day, if you don't repent,

hell is.

Where you're gonna lift up your eyes.

If you don't repent. I'm almost done like that.

He said in the Witch verse seven. You walk this,

let's us know that we don't need to be judged

for these things anymore. See these things that be speaking here,

these are not things we need to judge for no more,

because you know why we don't do these things no more.

So we don't need to be judged a bout these

things anymore because we have put off the old one

and put on the news. And then also when we

look at others, it should remind us. When you look

at other it should remind us in our judgment that

we too were once like them. What is it saying

you have to remember you as ons like this. Don't

be juging about harsh peoples once like that. Even if

I Jael you are harsh, smiling up on you, God

forgave you, gave you a new life.

Can't you jellge themsel I'm.

Looking at him at west On the dog when you

used to be a wee spoom the dog. Don't judge them?

So rsh because man, you don have made it on

the news sign and God doesn't change your life the

change too. You just need you wouldn't be dreads us

or I'm just telling them that Jesus could do it. Hey, man,

We're never.

Judge them because we were once like them.

And these behaviors of the old Man have no place

in any Christian's life, and they don't have no place

in the House of God. That's part of the old life.

And now today the houses of God have taken on

the old life because the people can take it on.

The old life again. Fifteen of who ever had a

new life.

The old life, these are part of These things are

part of the old life, and these are the thing

these old life before knowing Christ. So now that you

know Christ shouldn't be a part of the life. This

is before knowing Christ. The repulsive sins of speech. So

that we can put old Christ's attitude and nations. Amen,

we have to put old Christ in attitude, nations, diverse teams,

and have put on own.

That's something we done. Did we done did what we

claim with the new man. The new man is the

person one becomes at the conversion. Had you been conversion.

People, says, as a new nature is your nature change

even he gets new value, new.

Aspirations, a new lifestyle.

This new man is consistently being renewed of developing until

he obtains a mature knowledge of God who recreated him,

which means you have to It has to be a

continuation of renewing, staying in God's face, stayed in God's word,

stayed in God's preaching, stayed in God's teaching until there's

a maturity of not of the God, not guessing what

God says. I believe that somebody else said that is wrong.

You really don't know, because you're.

Im mature in God.

The more a believer knows and understand of God, the

more he will be like God in character. In contor,

I said, he's gonna be God, and he will be

like God.

The more, the more say, the more the more he.

Believe or not and understand, not just know, but understand,

a lot of people know a lot of things about God,

but do they understand of God. The more you'll be

like that.

Not only is the new man to put sin to death,

he is also to put.

Away man made various, that the bad people, and that

nursed the vices, of the old life. You gotta put

away all that old stuff and among renewed humanity. There

are no national ceremonies, culture, our society distractions. So we

don't go along with the world going on with we

don't go on the uh. The world has dictated to

some bodies of Christ that the first Sunday is holy

community only the person that ceremonial, culture, society distractions. But

you can have you're not listening to the scriptures. Scripture

says as often as often as often, let's keep with.

It right now, as as all amen.

So there are no natural ceremonies, cultures are social distractions

to the.

Redeemed Christ.

In all of us, because He is everything that he

is what matters more to us all. It's not about

these cultures and these ceremonies and these traditions. Jesus came

and began to go against custom and traditions for a reason.

It's people out there kicking gold comparisies like people been

working on sad.

Jesus did was I wasn't made for the sad. Sad

was made for me.

That words, I'm in trouble. It says christis in all

that is He dwells in all believers. And man, he

only dwells in all believers. You don't. You don't dwell

the non believers. He only dwells in all beligans. Conclusion

of this matter, because Jesus is the truth, we have

to practice truth. We have a practice truth because Jesus

is the truth. No, Jesus is the truth. Yeah, what's

your practice truth? Why shoud the practical truth?

Because Jesus is the truth.

Because Jesus is in you, and that Jesus in you,

you are to automatically be practicing truth.

Because he lives in you.

And man, it says in the suscription, and it says

in the explanation about that I just gave you Jesus

in all and all in him, and in him is

all the truth is in him. If he is in you,

then the truth should be in you. And you should

practice the truth in all areas of our life. Not

when we we get a suggestive that we're just not

gonna tell it all. Not telling it all is the lieing,

being deceitful. Tell the truth, man, see you see see

Abraham lied, but there was some truth in his life

where he was and um Raul was a lie because

of fear. He told King Annalis that Sarah was his

sister and not his wife. She was his sister.

He don't mention it. So he was being deceased, she

was his wife.

He gonna mention that because of fear, and the fear

of that the king was known to take the beautiful

white from the man to kill him and keep the white.

So there was the see.

Hey, man, So we should always tell us the whole truth.

Nothing about the truth. So help us God, because they

don't need God. It's gonna tip.

So help us to tell the truth, especially in times

of trouble, time a pressure times.

Man. Think about the lives of the three lives that

Peter told in denying Christ.

Because of pressure.

Pressure us should not cause us to lie. Pressure should

cause us to tell the truth. By that's material, that's

a mature growth in God. And truth should always flow

no matter what the truth verse. The Bible says, the

truth says the truth selfl fear minute, So they don't

need the whole man.

There go, you ain't gonna stop it.

If someone don't line, somebody gonna tell them the truth,

You're gonna be hearing accounts are not telling them the.

Truth when you have the time to tell the truth.

So we shouldn't lie to each other. Why lying disrupt unity?

You got the unity in a family, in a home,

and this lying going on in there, that the unity

becomes disrupted. Unity becomes disrupted in the house of God.

Will people up in the lion? Okay? It destroys trust.

Once you lie, it's hard to keep your trust. What

is he lying?

Now? Man? She lied about that? When does she lie

about that? See? Once you lie on the witness stand

that day're gonna lawyer for each your part. But when

you do tell the truth, he gonna say to the zero,

how we know you ain't lying about that? You're lied

about that? You lose trust and it tears down relationships

and it may lead to serious conflict. Lying his land, seriously,

the president been lying all the time, leading to a

whole lot of serious conflict. That's a wonderful example right there.

He's been lying out of everything, and it's been lead

the conflict all over the United States and all over

the world.

His lives been leading. It leeds the sick and they

are serious conflicts.

It leads also the serious conflicts in your home and

in your ministry. We shouldn't pass around rumors our gospel,

I say thing to build up our own image that

others expensive. Because we have put off the old evil

nature and with indeeds and have committed to telling the truth,

because we have put on Christ.

And our goal is the learning of the Christian likeness.

The more we know of Christ and his work, the

more we can be changed and to get in it

and likeness. And this learning is long, life long. It

ain't a few minutes a day, a couple months later. No,

this is life long. For the rest of your life.

You're gonna be learning about Christ for the rest of

your life. You're gonna be learning because He's it's so

much in him. We don't even get it in our lifetime.

So just think about the times you're not learning. You're

missing out, and you're not growing like you shoot, and

you're not maturing like you shooting.

The reason why you snap and you be.

Like, Lord, I need nothing more. Yeah, you need a

whole lot more, need a whole lot more because you

have not been consistent.

You have to be consistent. Hey man, we want we

want to rose rys for both wagon consistency.

From God not gonna happen. So the more we know

of Christ and his work, the more we can be

changed into His image and likeness. And this is a

lifelong learning process and we must never stop learning, and

most of all, we should never stop obeying the teaching

of God. People have people have learned the teachers of

a lot of same Jesus Rist to learn from God

and have allowed people to go to take them to

another teacher. Do you know, I know it's a lot

of people that are Muslims that used to be a Christian.

There's a lot of people in costs it used to

be a Christian. You've got to continue these teachings and

obeying these teachers because in the Bible of God's holding, people.

Are chosen back God for a specific purpose. Our destiny

were chosen for that. Your destiny and purpose ain't my purpose,

but it needs to the same thing.

No one can claim to be chosen back God because

of is of our advertite.

My mama will saved for my mama was a pre

design want to be a preacher. My dating was was

a was a possible.

You can't claim that that's a call back. God's in

that position, not a chosen position back. You people.

People in these ministines be choosing people. You're supposed to

be a preacher.

Boy, you know, I see it. God ain't told him nothing.

When you go out there and you're falling on your knack,

and after a while you're so resentful you don't even

want to know none by God no more, because you

need to know exactly what your purpose is.

You need to know what your calling is. Your calling

ain't my call.

But it's all for the same purpose, the purpose of

the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That's why there's a five

fold ministry. Were supposed to were supposed to celebrate the

gifts of people, not tolerating. Hey man, we're not supposed

to be jealous of the gift. We're supposed to celebrate

the gift. I think she's sim always quote sp well,

if you get in the word, you're quotn too.

Not only quota, you understand, you get into word.

Nobody been claimed to be chosen by God because of

his her amerigans are good works.

Or good looks or whatever they think.

God himself freely chooses to say whomever he will. The

doctrine of election teachers that it it is God's solvend

short to save us by His goodness and mercy and

grace and not by our own marriage. I would deal

with somebody not long ago coming out he's been doing

this good and the good God said, your good work,

they're gonna get you in the heaven. Brother, your good

works is only are counting your light blood, not to

your salvation, to your life money. You understand what's here.

See, your good word's gonna be spoken of where you

get to heaven.

It's not gonna be because you get to heaven the

blood of Jesus and the cross is because of you

getting the hippn except in the salvation of God and man,

not real good marriage.

So to have to so to have received such wonderful grace.

From God, it I have to call all of us

to black man now side sinful desires in order to

clothe ourselves with the nature and that pleases God. And

when I look at the cross and really take passion

from a man, that should cause any person that's claiming

to be a Christian to not going to go against

the nature of your Lord and say that, Jesus Prince,

if you can feel the passion of the cross, there's

a great that's the greatest passion in the world, the

Cross with the greatest passion will ever see Amen. And

if we can receive that passion in our hearts, it

should cause us to always want to please God for

what He's done for us. It is totally irresponsible and

selfish of anyone that understands out and say not to

have that passion of the chrost. Salvation causes us to

want to be Christians. And when we are Christians, that

means we want to be like Jesus, because that nature

is in us. And the nature of Christ is to

be like God, is to be God leaved as well,

So that nature in us is It.

Calls us to want to be like Jesus.

And in being like Jesus, the only way that you

can know how to be like Jesus is you got

to read the mind of Jesus. This tells us how

to be like Jesus. This tells us how to carry

ourselves like Jesus did. It speaks about how he carried himself.

It speaks about the attributes of him. It speaks about

the attributes that I'm not like him. You cannot be confused.

It tells us to modify.

Therefore, our members if we want to take on Christian values,

the Christian values are not going to occasion on cleanness

or nation. The fictions are comfort with this, even our doctriy,

our doltry, that is not the nature of Jesus.

If we're trying to be like him. If we're trying

to be like him, then.

We gotta have battles of compassion, mercy, long suffering, humbleness

of mind.

Forgiven us charity in our heart. That's Jesus. That is

a Christian should always be a Jesus. That should always be.

Our growth, our.

Focus as Christians. When we focus on the things above.

See what when we when we really.

Get this thing, we'll understand that it's not necessary to

focus on the on earthly things.

If we would just.

Focus on the things above. Guess what he handles all

of the earthly things. He said, So, I don't know

what you mean to your about the way. He told me,

seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and

I will hear all things onto.

The That's when he told me.

Did you hear it too?

The way here in this thing, focus on the things above.

Earthday things are come into bus and you can't hear

around people.

That can't focus like that, They mixed up your focus.

Even people claim to be saved.

I've been around people and say that that the message

longer than.

Me standing there talking.

About this, and I said, what do you worry about

all that?

What's the problem? And then I start telling him you

never need the law, say and he'll take him over

the he chills the problem and what's your father?

This is mean when you're falling down, you're working three jobs?

Why do you working three jobs? Why is a Christian

working free jobs? Why is the preacher fleecing the people

don't trust God? They don't trust God.

That's why they're doing everything sayvil God said do. Because

they don't trust God.

When they get up against the wall, they do what

they believe it's going to work for them, and not

what God says already works. See, they still trying to

win and we've already won. That should be our chooses

to be like Jesus a man, to be exactly like

Jesus in all our waysness, in all our ways, our

thoughts bring us to what is right in the sight

of God all the time, even though there are thoughts

of a wrongdoing.

Jesus I'll say, the Holy Ghost always kicks me. You

talk about me, but I think about doing something wrong, The.

Holy Ghost kicks him, always kicksing to tell me that's wrong.

If I argue with somebody, the Holy does kicks saying

and say you need a problem that. And I'll say,

I ain't do nothing wrong with because there's something wrong

with righteousness.

But I will not apologize to the difference.

No, ma'am, No someone all of my chooses. We are

designed clothe ourselves with the n that pleases God, and

that nature is to be like Jesus. That should be

our choose. Amen, Amen, God sa
