THE will of GOD

Amen. Amen.

Amen, thank God for another day. We're here, God, we're

here today.

Amen. Is that on? That? Turn it on? Amen, Praise

the Lord. We're here to give God the glory, the

praise and the honor do unto him. Amen. Thank you Jesus,

he's in the house. He is in the house. Amen. Amen.

Let us pray. Father. We want to thank you for

another day. God. Thank you Lord in the name of Jesus.

For we come this morning God with humble hearts and

bow down heads. We come God, humble before the throne

of grace. And we come in the of Jesus, for

there is no other way, for he is the door

to the kingdom. We thank you for Jesus Christ today, God,

that he shed his blood that we may live and

not die. We couldn't have done it, probably wouldn't have

done it.

But he did it. He was obedient to the cross.

So we hear today because of him, to give him

glory and to give praise to you God, and give

you God aniration. We thank you, Lord for all you've

done for us. Have you blessed us this morning to

get up, to wake up, to get up, to dress ourselves,

and to have a mind to come and serve you today.

God.

So we hear today God, not for shure, not for noe,

not for performance, but to hear word from you Lord

that will help us in this salvational walk. Thank you, God,

that you care and love us so much. We thank

you for your word. It's about to go forth yet

again to fill us, to overflow him that will help us,

that will rebuke us, that will build us up, and

that we may be able to walk right in Thy sight.

In Jesus' holy name, we thank you for rebuking the

enemy confusion. And in all I get in this morning,

we'll get an understanding of your word God that will

help us in the salvation and walk. In Jesus' name,

I pray, thank God. Amen an Amen. Let us go

to the book of Matthews. Amen, Matthews the seventh chapter. Matthews,

the seventh chapter. When you get there, Samen few pages

still turning. Matthews Chapter seven, starting at verse thirteen.

But first let me ask, Let me ask, amen, would

you all agree that the word of God is the

will of God?

Would you agree with me that the Bible is God's will?

Amen?

So you agree with me that the Bible? Well, what

you're really agreeing with to is the Bible?

Not with me. I'm just agreeing with it. And are

you agree with me? Like Paul said, follow me as

I follow Christ?

So you would agree with me that the Bible, the

Bible is God's will.

Amen? Let me get that. Amen. If you don't believe it,

don't say amen. Amen. So we agree that the Bible

is God's will? Right? Amen? So let us read Matthew

chapter seven. Starting in verse thirteen.

It says, in a ye end at the straight gate,

the narrow gate, the straight gate, the narrow gate. For

why is the gate, and broad is the way that

lead it to destruction? And many there be which go

in thereat There gonna be a whole lot of people

going in going into the wide gate, the broad gate.

Why fourteen? Because straight is the gate, and narrow is

the way which lead it unto life, and few there

be that find it. So it's saying in verse fourteen,

how narrow is the gate.

And narrow is the way? So difficult This word.

Here in fourteen that says narrow means difficult, are confined,

But thirteen talking about how wide this thing is.

There's two different gates. A man.

So there's two ways that the listener can choose to go.

But there there in contrast to one another. One's going

to lead you to destruction and one's going to lead

you to life.

But guess what the choice is ours?

And this would you agree with me that this is

the will of God? Verse fifteen, Beware of false prophets

which come to you in sheep's clothing, But annuardly they

are raving wolves.

Ye shall know them? Are you hearing this?

So I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with people

today in the ministry, because God, this is Jesus speaking,

And if Jesus said it, then it must be.

So it has to be.

So he said, he said, ye shall know them about

the fruits? Do men gather grapes of thorns? Are figs

our thistles?

Do these sisters? Since the lane? Is it any thorns

on a grape vine?

Is there any thistles on a grape vine? So if

it's they got thorns and thistles, it must not be

a grape vine. So you gonna know them about the fruit.

It says you should know them by the fruits? Do

men gather grapes of thorns? Figs of thistles. And so

every good tree, every good tree, bring it forth good fruit.

But a corrupt tree bring it forth evil fruit. A

corrupt tree ain't gonna bring none of bad fruit. A

good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit.

It can't do it. Neither can a corrupt tree bring

forth good fruit. That's the opposite of one another.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hend

down and cast into the fire. You know what the

tree is, right, The tree is me and you, And

you know what the fire is, don't you.

I ain't gotta explain that.

So if you have a tree that bring it forth

good fruit, so every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit,

gonna be hend down and cast into the fire. Wherefore

by the fruits, wherefore by their fruits. I just want

to emphasize on that ye shall know them. Not everyone

that said unto me, Lord Lord, shall enter into the

Kingdom of heaven, but he which but he that doeth

the will of my Father, which is in heaven. Now

see in verse twenty two, it says, many will say

to me in that day, what day the deay of judgment,

And this is what they gonna say, Lord Lord.

Have we not prophesied in thy name? Have we not

prophesied in thy name?

And in thy name have cast out devils or demons?

And in thy name done many wonderful works, are many miracles.

But I want you to understand.

Verse twenty two is with them telling they came to

Jesus pleading, are you with me?

This is a plead, Lord Lord? Have we not prophesied

in the name Lord? They make it a plead to Jesus.

But Jesus turned to them and said, and when and

then will I profess unto thee? And then will I

profess unto them? I never knew you?

Who is to them? Them? That says Lord Lord? Have

we not prophesied in thy name.

And cast out demons and devils, and done miracles and wonders?

And Jesus said, He's gonna turn them and professor them.

I never knew you. I never knew you. Depart from me, ye,

workers of iniquity. Jesus here is letting you know that

not everyone.

That's professing Christ is generally saved. Get a whold lot

of people out there professing Christ. But he said, all

of them, may say professing me.

Let him fool you. Now see what he's.

Trying to say, is see this outward verbal acknowledgment of

his lordship that they're claiming, Lord Lord, didn't we do this?

And that he said that in himself is not enough

to save the unbeliever. It has to be true repentance.

It's not enough to save the believer. It has to

be true repentance. And with that repentance must be faith.

How you with me, it must be faith accompanying that

true repentance.

Because generally and genuine.

Save people are ones that do it the will of

the Father. Didn't y'all just agree with me a few

minutes ago that the Bible is God's will?

Huh?

So generally those that do the will of the Father

are those that's gonna be saved, hey man. And those

that are doing the will of the Father, those that

those that are continually living in obedience of the will

of God as a normal Somebody say normal, are normal.

Somebody say normal course of life that you're living. It's normal.

So let us understand, maybe seated in the house of

the Lord, that God's will and only God's will will.

Get you in to heaven. You see this is this is,

this is what's going on. In this day and time.

I want you to listen.

I wish everybody was here this morning. Jesus, I don't

know why, God, God.

Know what he's doing.

Though, you gotta understand that the Bible must be, not

should be, not maybe, but the Bible must be.

Our only authority in religion.

If we want to please God and go to heaven,

the Bible. Listen to me good today. I'm not gonna

be long before you're gonna look God. God gonna do

what he's doing, and gonna He's gonna give you what

he got for you today and give me what he

gave y'all, and we're gonna get out of here.

But the Bible must be the only authority in religion.

If we want to go to heaven, and if we

want to please God, people must give up all the

various false doctrines that progate, that propagate the many different

kinds of denominations and go back to only the Bible.

There are no denominations. Are you with me in the

New Testament times? And there would be none today? If

only the Bible was taught and practice, there would be

only one Lord's one true church. It is the Church

of Christ, only one there's only one true church, is

the Church of Christ. It's not denomination if we would

just go back to Bible. The Bible is the will

of God, and we must be found doing what the

will of God.

And the only way we can do the will of

God if we know what the will of God is.

And the only way we're gonna know that is if

we get the Bible.

So how then do we make sure that we are

among the few who are saved and not among the

many who are lost.

How we gonna make sure that.

What Jesus said in Matthew chapter twenty one, chapter seven,

verse twenty one to twenty three, he said, not every

one who says to me, Lord Lord, shall enter the

Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of

my Father. This is how we make sure that we're

actually doing the will of the Father. Not with men say,

not the way you think it shall be done, but

what the will of God says. Because he said many

in that day, we'll say, Lord Lord, have we not

prophesied in your name. Not only have we prophesied, we've cast.

Our demons in your name. We've done many wonders and

many miracles in your name.

And then will Jesus declare to them, I never knew you,

But you would think.

Like they think.

Today, that they're doing the will of God, but they're

really doing their own will, not understanding it's not God's will.

But they really believe they're doing God's will because they've

been doing it so long in denominational understanding and rules

and regulations.

They believe they're doing God's will.

But God's gonna say to them, He's gonna declare to them,

I never knew you.

Depart from me.

You who work lawlessness are iniquity. If you believe and

call Jesus lord lord, you are still lost if you

do not do what God says.

Can I say that again, thank you.

If you believe and call Jesus lord lord, and you

are still lost if you do not do what God says,

If you are not obeying God, we are practicing lawlessness.

Ain't no two ways about it.

If we ever hope to go to heaven, and we

know our hope is in Jesus Christ, so we hope

to go, we must do the will of the Father.

This is the only way. Not the will of men,

but God's will, not our own will, but God's will.

Just because we call Jesus our lord. This will not

save us. Jesus says in the scriptures that I read

to you that on the day of judgment that many

will be pleading with him, calling him Lord Lord, and

reminding him of the many wonderful folk works that they

had done in his name on the day of judgment.

But he will say, unto them, I never knew you

apart from me, you who practice lawlessness. You know, that's

the worst thing that anybody could say to you.

I don't care what people have said to you. If

you sixty seventy.

Years old today, if you five years old, you're twenty

something years old, thirty something. The worst thing that you

could ever hear is Jesus tell you, I don't care

if people call.

You names all out your name.

Cuts you out, talk about you, tell you bad things.

This is the worst thing you could ever hear in

your ears. This is the worst thing you could ever hear.

Is the part from me. You work of iniquity.

Why you ask why? Because they had not done the

will of the Father.

That's why God said depart for me, because you have

not done his will. And they were saying, Lord Lord,

why did he tell them to depart from me. Why

because they had not done the will of the Father

in heaven.

They were doing their own will.

Yeah, they was doing their own will, casting out demons,

they were doing their own will, praying for folks. They

were doing their own will, doing miracles. The one that

they was doing their own will. They wasn't doing the

will of the Father in heaven. But they thought they

had been doing that will. But they hadn't. They had

done their own will or the will of some man.

That's the will they were doing. They wasn't doing the

will of the Father. And I said, this will be

the worst thing that will ever be said to any

individual when the Lord on judgment day says to you.

The majority of people, majority of.

People, the park, the park gone a wait for me.

I never knew you.

And guess what it's not like if you get convicted

at court, there will be no appeal to this decision.

There will be will.

I'm gonna appeal this in appelate court. He's the appellate court,

he's the state court.

He's a federal court.

And when he makes that decision, ain't nobody else to

turn to. You cannot appeal this decision there will be

no second chance.

We have to get it right the first time.

The people in the above, in the scriptures that I

just read about, and even today in this dispensation of time,

they seem to be honest, But they were honest mistaken

as the majority.

Of people today they're mistaken.

They're preaching stuff and teaching stuff in the house of God.

That's not the will of God.

They're teaching people how to be prosperous rich. The prosperity

of God is peace and joy and love. That's the

prosperity of God. Jesus never taught anyone how to be

rich in nothing but holiness?

Is it? If that's true, why they tell the rich man.

To leave all that he got, all his riches and

come follow me? He will letting them know, man, it

ain't about what you've got, It's about what I got.

That you need.

Just like the people in the scription. The people today

are the same way. But guess what. Apparently they were

good people, but good people ain't going to heaven. Holy

people going to heaven.

That's who's going to heaven.

Because Jesus said they think they're good, but he's gonna

tell them to part from him. You know why because

even when they told him good nights, mas Jesus said itself,

there's nothing good, nothing but the Father.

I didn't call you the goodness. I called you the holiness.

See that's the will of God, not being good, being holy.

See, we ain't gonna make it unless.

We're doing the will of God. And you, he's a

good man. He ain't gonna make it the heaven. He

need to be a holy man.

He ain't called us to being good. He called us

to be in holy.

And just because people have undone many miracles and wonders

and cast out demons that don't mean nothing to him,

he calls you the holiness because doing all that, they

still hadn't done the will of God, which is in heaven.

It's his will that must be done.

Don't we say, let your will be done.

We're talking about God in heaven.

We ain't talking about the pastor the apostle or the

prophet of a bishop.

We talking about God's be done.

Because God's will is the only will that will get

you in.

Man's will ain't gonna get you in. Your will ain't

gonna get you in. Only God's will will get you in.

So we must be found doing the will of God

to get into heavens as.

Many people.

In the House of God that generally want to do

things their own way.

And don't really care what God thinks.

We cannot obey God without doing what God says to do.

You can't obey God unless you're doing what God says

to do. You can't obey God doing your own thing.

You can't obey God do do what a man tells

you to do. The only way you can obey God

is doing what God says, and what God says to

do when God says to do it, how God says

to do it, and for the reason God says to

do it. Amen, It's God's way. We have to do

what God says to do, how God says to do it,

and for the reason God says to do it. Nothing

somebody say nothing, somebody say nothing is more important than

pleasing God by doing his will so that we can

go to heaven.

We learn from the scriptures that.

We don't go to heaven by doing the will of men,

are by doing what we.

Think is right.

Because the scripture says there's a way that seems right

to a man. Therefore, are the ways of death the

only way we can go to Heaven is by doing

the will of Father, and that will is found.

Only in the Bible. That will is only found in

the Bible.

Do we really know what the will of the Father

is so that we can be sure of going to heaven?

Do we? This is important?

This is too important a matter to assume.

That we do, or to take someone else's word for it.

It's too important.

Do we really know what the Bible says that God

wants us to do in order to be saved? Do

we really know what must I do to be saved?

This is a very important question. Many people would have

answer this question in many different ways. The many different

denominations give you many different and conflicting answers. I've heard

one heaven say there are many paths to Jesus. There

ain't but one path to Jesus. I've heard he don

say this, but there's only one path.

Only God's way is correct.

I heard a person say, once I die, my spirit

can ask God to forgive me.

No, that's not the will of God. That's foolishness.

The Bible is the only reliable source.

We can go to for our answer. Are you with me?

And since it is. It's just our soul. It's just

our soul that we're gonna lose if we don't. I'm

just saying it a big deal.

It's just our.

Soul that will be lost if we follow man's advice.

Yeah, big deal, sisters, brothers, ain't no big deal. It's

just your soul.

It's just the most important, most most thing that's most

valuable in the whole world that you're gonna lose listening

to what man's advice tells you to do. We must

understand that our obedience to Christ is very serious. It's

a very serious decision, and we must not be taken

it likely a man.

It must be on the Lord's.

Terms, as laid out in the scriptures, and not on

our terms. We've already seen what the Lord says in

the Book of Matthews chapter seven, thirteen through twenty three.

We've heard it. I just spoke it.

Only a few will be saved and many will be lost.

Only a few will be saved, and many will be lost. See,

only a few will be saved. That's the reason why

the scripture says that the straight gate is narrow in

its way, but the the other gate that leads to

destruction is wide and broad because there is only one way.

I like to say this. I believe.

That you can go to hell any kind of way.

That's why it's broad. If you can come up with

something else evil, it'll widen just that much more for you.

If you come up with something even much more, you

wide and even that much more for you.

But I believe there's only one way to get to heaven,

and that's why narrow is the way.

It is not gonna move for you.

Because there's only one way to get there. Narrow is

the way, and it's not gonna move for you. Only

those who do the will of the Father can go

to heaven. Hey man, only those Jesus said it that

those that do the will of my Father are my brother, sister,

and mother. That means he's your daddy. If you're not

doing it his way, you know, kin to him. In

the Book of First John, chapter two and verse four,

he says he who says I know him, he who

says I know him and does not keep his commandments.

Jesus says he's a liar, and the truth is not

in him. A liarh is a pretty strong statement to

make about somebody but a person is lying to himself

because you ain't lying to God. You can skip around

here being as cute as you want to be. You

can skip around her feeding the needy and the greedy.

You can skip around here giving clothes to the homeless.

You can skip.

Around here going out on missions and delivering folks, and

I mean preaching the folks and and and and and

causing miracles and wonders. But if you're doing your own

will and your own way, you still gonna hear depart

from me, you a liar.

From our lord, and say that it ain't gonna be me.

So don't try to hide.

Nothing from the preacher, because most of them trying to

hide something from you. But you're not hiding anything from him,

because he sees all.

He don't care where you are. He see all, he

sees all, misses nothing. That's why a person.

That's claiming he knowing but don't keep his commanding is

a liar. And he's only lying to himself. You ain't

lying to me, You ain't lying to God. You lying

to yourself and yourself. And you're lie gonna take you

to hell. And see, here's another thing. Can haller in

people talking about I love the Lord. I love the

Lord because he first loved me.

I love the Lord because he said me free. You're

a liar because you ain't trying to keep his commandments.

Everyone else who says he knows and loves God but

does not keep his commandments. We know one thing that

a liar cannot go to heaven. Won't be no liars

in heaven because you know why.

It won't be no liars in heaven because lion is

a sin. And you know God hates a liar.

God says to him, a liar is just like a homosexual.

It's an abomination. What he said.

He says six things I hate and seven is an abomination.

And out of the seven things that he speaks about,

two of 'em is talking about a lying and a liar.

So I'm gonna conclude with this man gonna be I

told you, I'm gonna be for you long hear me good.

In this conclusion, we I ain't say you, I said

we That mean me too, must do all of God's will,

all of God's will, so that we can go to heaven.

There is no other way Church, there is no other

way but doing all of the will of God. No

single condition that God imposes can be ignored.

None can be ignored. Well, how can you do it?

Live over here? You? God even ain't He ain't got

concerned about all that? Yeah is?

Yeah is cause you know what, there is no little condition.

Everything is big with God. Well, all I did was

still a piece of bubble gum. It's not the will

of God you stole, and it's not God's will for

you to steal.

It may be a little thing to you, but when

you wake.

Up and find yourself in hell, you'll find out that's

still in that bubble gum.

And didn't repent from it was a big deal.

Everything God imposes can't not be ignored. God has no

non essential commands. When we don't obey a command of God,

we have just broken it. Many people think that God

will save them no matter if they And you know

the funny thing about that is there is a church

that's out here, and I believe it's in Memphis.

They believe that you can. They believe it.

You can be a homosexual, you can do you can

be a liar, you can be and do whatever you

want to do, and you still gonna go to heaven.

They believe that it's a church here in Memphis out east.

But when you don't obey God's command, the command of God,

we just broken it. But they believe they can break the.

Commandments and still can do it. That's why you hear

me today say. Many people think that God will save

them no matter if they follow God's specific instructions on

what they must do to be saved or not.

They believe they're still going to heaven. That ain't with

this book, say.

I don't know where they're reading from or who's teaching

it to them, but that ain't what this book say.

So I ask you again, what then is God's will

so that we can go to heaven and not have

to endure eternal punishment forever and ever. We will find

the answer of God's will. You know where you find

this will at We will find the answer in the Bible.

You want to go to.

Heaven, then you must do God's will. You want to

go to heaven, then you must do God's will. Amend,

Give God a handclap of praise.

Amen.

And this really was this message here was really the

conclusion of the Sermon on the Mound that Jesus preached

to all the thousands This was a conclusion of it.

Doing God's will is the only thing that will get

you in to heaven.

This was his conclusion. Amen. Amen, you got some praise. Hallelujah,

Thank you Jesus.
