  78. us go to the Book of Ephesians. You can sit there,

  79. you can be seated. You big the Book of Ephesians,

  80. the fifth chapter, starting at the first verse. Today we're

  81. gonna be talking about living by the spirit of God power,

  82. living by the spirit of God's power, not by the

  83. spirit of your own power. Got the spirit of your

  84. grandmama's power. My granny spirit's up in here. How your

  85. granny spirit up in here. If somebody had told you wrong,

  86. it will give Ephesians the fifth chapter, in the first verse,

  87. say man, when you get there, wait on me. If

  88. you're not there, hey man, hey man. Let us stand

  89. for the reading of God's word. The Bible says in

  90. Ephesians chapter five, for the hearing of God's people. Be

  91. there for followers of God. This is talking to the

  92. believer as dear children, and walk in love, as Christ

  93. also had loved us and had given himself for us,

  94. an offering and a sacrifice.

  95. To God for sweet smelling Savior.

  96. But fornication and all uncleanness our covertreusness. Let it not

  97. be once named among you as becometh saints, neither filthiness,

  98. nor foolish talking, norjusting, which are not convenient, but rather

  99. giving of thanks.

  100. For this, ye know that.

  101. No hormungal, nor unclean person, nor coveteous man who is

  102. an ourdulter, had any inheritance in the Kingdom.

  103. Of Christ and of God.

  104. Let no man deceive you with vain words, For because

  105. of these things come in the wrath of God upon

  106. the son's children of disobedience.

  107. Be not ye therefore partake us with them.

  108. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now ye are light

  109. in the Lord walk It's children of light. For the

  110. fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness

  111. and truth, proving.

  112. That he is acceptable into the Lord.

  113. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of.

  114. Darkness, but rather reprove them.

  115. For it is a shame even to speak of these

  116. things which are done of them in secret. But all

  117. things that are reproved are made manifest by the light.

  118. For whatsoever do it make manifest is light Wherefore.

  119. He said, awake thy that sleepeth, and arise from the dead,

  120. and Christ shall give thee light.

  121. See then.

  122. That ye walk circumstance effectively, not as fools, but as wise,

  123. redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore he

  124. be not unwise but understanding what the will of the

  125. Lord is. Can the church say, man, you may be

  126. seated in the house of the Lord. I'm gonna break

  127. these down. I'm gonna break these down for your understanding.

  128. Amen. Amen.

  129. Paul here in these scriptures describes the actions that are.

  130. Unsuitable.

  131. If you will, he's describing actions that are unsuitable. Everybody

  132. know the dimpting unsuitable and suitable. Okay, so he describing

  133. stuff that's unsuitable among the Christian community. But Paul also

  134. understood that this is a process. So because of our

  135. relationship with God through Jesus Christ and the power given.

  136. To us through the Spirit of God, we are to

  137. become god like.

  138. In our characteristics and obedient disciples in our lifestyles.

  139. Are you with me so far? I don't want to

  140. lose nobody. Stay awake. So Jesus a God speaks through.

  141. Paul, and Paul says, be ye there for followers. He said,

  142. be ye there for a followers. He talking to the believer.

  143. He's talking.

  144. He's telling the believers the suitable things you should be doing.

  145. As believers.

  146. Be therefore follows of God as dear children. So he's saying,

  147. just as children imitate their parents, the believers should follow

  148. God's example.

  149. What was God's example Jesus Christ.

  150. We should be following the example of Jesus Christ because

  151. he is the believers examples hey man one Peter chapter two,

  152. in verse twenty one says, for even here unto.

  153. Where ye called, So.

  154. You call because Christ also suffered for us.

  155. I didn't say for me. I said for us. But

  156. what do he do?

  157. But then he leaving us an example that ye should

  158. follow his steps, who did no sin.

  159. Neither was God found in his.

  160. Mouth, no deceit, No deceit was found in his mouth, who,

  161. when he was revealed, reveiled not again when he suffered

  162. he threatened, not because they talked about him. He ain't

  163. talk about them, but committed himself.

  164. I'm telling you.

  165. About the example of Jesus Christ. He committed himself to

  166. him that judges righteousness, who his own self bore our sins.

  167. In his body on the tree, that we, being dead

  168. to sins, should live unto righteousness by whose strife he

  169. were healed. For you were a sheep going astray, but

  170. a noun returned unto the shepherd, and the bishop of

  171. your souls, the bishop, meaning the overseer of your soul.

  172. That's all a bishop is, is the overseer. He realized.

  173. The bishop is not even in the five four ministry.

  174. It's a desire position of the pastor a man somebody,

  175. and he is the overseer of your soul. That's the

  176. reason why I give you word, because God has made

  177. me the overseer of your souls.

  178. And so I do all that God commences me to

  179. do and commands me to.

  180. Do, to give to you so that your soul can

  181. be right and laying in a rightful place.

  182. So Paul goes on to say, and walk in love.

  183. As Christ also had loved us and had given himself

  184. for us, an offering and a sacrifice.

  185. To God God for sweet smelling roma.

  186. It's only the sacrifice can only be sweet smelling to God.

  187. How you with me, it can only be sweet smelling to.

  188. God if the sacrifice is is not like the sacrifice

  189. that Cain gave.

  190. That's what messed up came.

  191. See, his sacrifice wasn't the sweet smelling sacrifice or a

  192. Roman to God because he gave it in the wrong attitude.

  193. So your sacrifice, you got to be in the right

  194. attitude when you sacrifice, And if you have the love

  195. of Jesus Christ.

  196. You will be hey man. So he's telling us to

  197. walk in love.

  198. So when we walk in love, it characterizes our oneness.

  199. With Jesus Christ, because.

  200. Jesus Christ is love. So when we walk in it,

  201. it gets character that we are walking in Jesus. So

  202. as we as believe us, should live a life filled

  203. with love, not just for ourselves but for others, not

  204. just for your family, but for others. Not just for

  205. your children, but for others. Not just for your wife,

  206. but for others. Not just for your family members, but

  207. for others.

  208. Because He loves everybody. And if we walking in love

  209. were walking.

  210. In Jesus, who's gonna love that bad? We ain't gonna

  211. He's not gonna be partial with his love. I don't

  212. care what folks have done to you, you still are

  213. commanded to love them hard pill to swallow us swallow

  214. it and get it over with. So we should live

  215. a life filled with love for others, and that love

  216. should be of the same.

  217. Love that Jesus showed us. And when it is, it.

  218. Becomes a sweet smelling aroma to God, which is acceptable

  219. to God. Amen, it becomes acceptable to God in that

  220. that we walk in the love of Jesus Christ. When

  221. we sacrifice, love is a sacrifice because he said in

  222. John fifteen again John fifteen, Saint John fifteen and verse twelve,

  223. this is my commandment. Somebody say, commandment. Let me get

  224. another one commandment that ye love one another.

  225. And I have loved you. Oh oh, so he just

  226. he's asking you to love. Brother. Oh, he ain't asking.

  227. This is a commandment, so he ain't asking. Hm. Okay,

  228. mm hmm, so he ain't asking. We got that clear now.

  229. So he commanded us to love, and he's he not

  230. commanding us to love in any kind of way.

  231. He's commanding us to love the way Jesus loved us.

  232. That's why I be thoroughly confused sometimes, somebody help me.

  233. When you call yourself a Christian and you have a

  234. hard time loving, for I get confused.

  235. How you call yourself a Christian? Because a Christian means

  236. to be christ Like.

  237. And I just, I just I just gave an understanding

  238. of what Paul was doing with these with these scriptures.

  239. Was he was telling us how to be how to.

  240. Walk as a believer, and loving one another is part

  241. of the walk.

  242. I get it. Later he goes on to say, but funication.

  243. And all uncleanness, our covertness, let it be not once

  244. here's the key.

  245. Let it be not once name, Let it be not

  246. Let it not be.

  247. Once named among you as becoming saints. Notice it says,

  248. as becoming saints. So this means that it is not

  249. proper for Christians to be guilty of committing the sexual sins.

  250. Least here we see as becoming saints.

  251. Hey man, so you can't be guilty of this stuff

  252. no more.

  253. But funication and all uncleanness, our covertness, let it not

  254. be once among Let it not be once named among

  255. you as becoming saints.

  256. Amen.

  257. So a Christians shouldn't be guilty of committing the sexual

  258. sins listed here, the ones that have just listed, Amen,

  259. and so not be once named, as the scripture says,

  260. means such deeds should not even be the topic of

  261. normal conversation with the saints of God.

  262. I'm showing you how to walk.

  263. According to what the Lord had given policy.

  264. Now watch this, you're a Christian.

  265. Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convened, but.

  266. Rather giving of thanks.

  267. So Paul cautions that improper language should have no place

  268. in a Christian's conversation.

  269. Because it does.

  270. Not reflect God's gracious presence in us. Let me say

  271. that again, because I like the way they says so.

  272. In other words, Paul saying he ain't saying nothing. He's

  273. cautioning us, as the.

  274. Saints and the believers of God, that improper language should

  275. not have no place in our conversation.

  276. Why because it does.

  277. Not grace the presence of God that's in us.

  278. It don't line up.

  279. Hey, man, See the reason why these Christians try to

  280. have the same conversation that the Heathens had cause they

  281. trying to fit in.

  282. I ain't tryna fit in. Y your conversation going to

  283. the left.

  284. I'm'a go to the right. And if it keep going

  285. to the left, i'm'a get on down to the right.

  286. I'm not gonna continue to sit there and hear all

  287. that filthing that's coming out your mouth, cause it's affecting

  288. my soul. Y'all just set up under anything here and

  289. let people just talk any kind of way, but you.

  290. Ain't letting them talk.

  291. That's what they do, that's how they talk. But I'm

  292. not finna set up under all that, Miss. I'm'a get

  293. on down, cause what you talking about ain't proper ay Man,

  294. and Paul cautions that improper language should.

  295. Have no place in the Christians conversation.

  296. It ain't got no place in you because it ain't

  297. no place in Jesus, Amen. And the reason why because

  298. it does not reflect God's gracious presence that's supposed to.

  299. Be in us. Amen.

  300. First five, I said for this, ye know that. No,

  301. I don't even have explain this. I'm just gonna read

  302. it to you. And it broke its own self down

  303. for there for this, ye know. It's why we ain't

  304. gotta break it down to you, because the Bible just

  305. says for this year already know.

  306. If you already know it, I ain't gonna take time

  307. and try to break it.

  308. Down because you already know. Hey, man, you'll already know.

  309. Bible said you already know. Let me just tell you

  310. what the Bible said, you already know. Bible said, ye

  311. for this, ye know that no hord monger, no an

  312. unclean person, nor a coveatuous man who is and our docter,

  313. had any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.

  314. I ain't gota explain the tea. I ain't gotta break

  315. the teeth. You ain't got no inheritance. You ain't making

  316. it in the kingdom.

  317. That's the best I can do. That's it. Moving right along.

  318. Let no man deceive you in verse six with vain words.

  319. You know what vain words are, the empty He ain't

  320. talking about nothing, for because of these things coming the

  321. wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. You know,

  322. like that man was trying to get with you, there's

  323. sus lame.

  324. He wasn't talking about nothing, vain words. He was he

  325. being vain. He wasn't trying to help you, trying to

  326. help itself, he said, with your sexy self. He using

  327. in vain words, trying to get trying to lure you in.

  328. See, that's why we have to have that holy spirit

  329. to quicken us. See the Bible said, let no man

  330. deceive you with vain words. See it starts out with

  331. let no man. The word let in scripture is something

  332. you gotta do.

  333. God ain't gonna stop her.

  334. You've got something you gotta do well with God already

  335. put in you to use the stopp her.

  336. Let them not deceive you with vain words.

  337. For because of these things, because of these things, the

  338. vain words come in the wrapt of God upon the

  339. children of disobedience.

  340. But be not ye therefore partake us with them, Hey man.

  341. These verses are connected to Ephesians four and fourteen, which

  342. says that we hence, for it be no more children.

  343. Tossed two and four and carried about with every wind

  344. of doctrine by the slank of men, the trickery, in

  345. other words, by the trickery and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie.

  346. In wait to deceive. We ain't been food by that

  347. no more.

  348. Why because we in Jesus we got his wisdom. So

  349. he's telling us in this verse Versus talking about false

  350. teachers that had already influenced the church, teaching freedom in Christ.

  351. That's what they're doing now.

  352. But this Paul was talking about what they were doing then,

  353. and that's what they're doing now. These deceivers with this trickery,

  354. they've already infiltrated the church teaching freedom in Christ. But

  355. what their freedom in Christ meant was from laws and rules.

  356. That's what they were teaching, teaching freedom from laws and

  357. rules and freedom to live any way you want to live,

  358. and teaching made of doctrine. So see their teaching about

  359. freedom in Christ is you.

  360. Ain't got to bay at these rules and regulations. M M.

  361. Now you free to do whatever you want to do.

  362. That what they teaching.

  363. They teaching you that it's allowed for a sinful lifestyle.

  364. That's what they teaching is that's what they're teaching. Now,

  365. that's what they're teaching.

  366. The man got the homosexual, so called a pastor of

  367. the devil was on the on the on the media

  368. telling them, you know, it's okay for a man to

  369. be with another man.

  370. He was reading it out of man's doctrine. This is

  371. what they teaching. This is the freedom they teaching.

  372. It's okay because God told me to marry both of

  373. these women. See, they're teaching you you can do whatever

  374. you want to do.

  375. That's the freedom they teaching.

  376. But see verse eight says, for you are sometimes darkness,

  377. but now you are light in the Lord. Not just light,

  378. but light in the Lord, Walker's children of light darkness

  379. in the case that we were once spiritually unlightened, once

  380. was spiritually enlightened and accompanied ignorance. In our darkness, we

  381. were ignorant. But when the light came on, knowledge and

  382. truth now became a reality to.

  383. Each and every one of us. So what, brother, you

  384. ain't finna, You ain't finna spit on me and tell

  385. me it's raining.

  386. I got a light on it. I can see it.

  387. Can't you spit on me. It ain't coming from up there.

  388. It came from right there.

  389. Huh. You ain't finna sell me nothing today? Right?

  390. I can see now see why I was once unlearned

  391. and I was once blind, But now because of the

  392. light of Christ in me, I can see. And because

  393. I can see now, I got to walk like he walked,

  394. and see when he walked, he couldn't be fooled. You

  395. can't trip me up. The Holy Spirit in me is quick.

  396. It's much quicker than you. As a matter in fact,

  397. it's so quick it hits me. For you get to me,

  398. it tell me you coming, because it tell me you coming.

  399. And then when you get there is that right. I

  400. don't think so you need to move on. Yeah, I

  401. don't care where you go, but get out of my way.

  402. It says, for ye were sometimes darkness, not no more.

  403. Verse nine says, for the fruit of the Spirit is

  404. in all goodness and righteousness and truth, proving what is

  405. acceptable unto the Lord. Ya did y'all hear? Did y'all

  406. hear what God just said? I won't say it one

  407. more time to God says for the fruit of the Spirit,

  408. in all goodness and righteousness and truth, this is what's

  409. proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

  410. For the fruit of the Spirit.

  411. Hey man, Because of constant temptation and solicitation to evil

  412. in this world today, believers must always be proving our

  413. discerning what he is and.

  414. What is not acceptable unto God always because the deceitfulness,

  415. the trickery, the.

  416. Solicitation, and the temptation is not going to stop. That's

  417. why we should always be discerning what is and what

  418. is not acceptable unto God.

  419. And how no fellowship.

  420. And help Lord, we think it's just alright to kick

  421. it with anybody.

  422. The good girl, a good person.

  423. They tried to tell Jesi was good, and he told

  424. me nothing good but the father.

  425. I don't know how you a good person. I'm just

  426. saying and having no and having no the word it it.

  427. Don't say it having yes. It's it in having no.

  428. Fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

  429. Don't be hanging out with them, kicking it with them

  430. doing what they're doing. If they sinning, you supposed to.

  431. You're supposed to expose them. Light and darkness cannot coexist.

  432. So the children of light must take no part in

  433. the deeds of evil and darkness acts.

  434. But we are to expose the sin.

  435. And bring them into the light, hey man, showing them

  436. for what they really are, so that they that are

  437. the unbeliever may see.

  438. Their hinderous nature and their trouble, some.

  439. Consequences that they're gonna have to have because of their

  440. evil nature.

  441. Hey man, put that back. You ain't suppa to be

  442. stealing that chicken. You gotta expose them. Put that cigarette there.

  443. God didn't make your body to be smoked up in Huh.

  444. We are to expose them. We love Put that in there.

  445. So you got all the way back to the beginning

  446. of this lesson. It's all walking in love.

  447. We gotta be walking in love when we're doing this exposing.

  448. You know, you can't slap the cigarette out of their mouth.

  449. I've done that, but I wouldn't say when I did

  450. it too, cause they were standing right beside me smoking,

  451. and I hate smoking. I I I just I clocked

  452. a plot, lips and everything. I ain't even apologize either.

  453. You shouldn't have been standing beside me smoking, you sue,

  454. he was smoking?

  455. Do you you all in my space? Gotta do it

  456. with love now, ain't man?

  457. Somebody, sir, if you wouldn't mind, I don't really could

  458. you mind?

  459. Or not? To be honest with you, but can you

  460. please go over there with that? See? But I had

  461. to jump in.

  462. Ecclesiastic if you don't move, Hey, man, somebody, But that's

  463. how that's th that, that's what she what she liked.

  464. On't e like and doctors don't coexist together, it don't.

  465. You ain't got no business if you like and you

  466. come in their.

  467. Darkness, you gonna illuminate it. You're gonna expose it. Amen.

  468. That's your job as the light of the world, to

  469. expose the sins of the loss so they can understand

  470. that they canna understand their evil, hinderous nature, and that

  471. they and understand the terrible consequences because of it. Amen,

  472. if you loved, if you got the love of Jesus

  473. in it, that's what you wanna do anyway, Because as

  474. the compassion, he shows all the loss, and it should

  475. be in us to shine the light on the loss.

  476. For it is a shame even to speak of those

  477. things which are done of them in secret. See the

  478. word Ford tells us why the Christian must expose the

  479. sins of the loss, and then therefore bringing them into

  480. the light.

  481. Amen.

  482. But all things are not reproved, m are made manifest

  483. by the light. For whosoever do it make manifest is light. Okay,

  484. this verse can be said like this. All sins that

  485. are exposed are made.

  486. Visible by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. See all the sins.

  487. See See it's exposed by the Gospel, all sins.

  488. Because the Gospel is a light, and the Gospels gonna

  489. expose your.

  490. Sin when it shines on it. See.

  491. That's why you can say it like it's all sins

  492. that are exposed. They are exposed and made visible by

  493. the Gospel.

  494. Soul.

  495. Whatever sin is made visible becomes light. Hey Manerefore he said, awake,

  496. die that sleep, See you don't even know you asleep,

  497. and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

  498. So since exposing sin is.

  499. Beneficial, God here invites the sinner to turn from his sin.

  500. That thy sleepeth, die that sleepeth, and then arise from

  501. the dead.

  502. With the promise.

  503. He ain't just tell you to wake up and then't

  504. tell you arise from the dead for no reason. But see,

  505. once you take heed to this, there's a promise involved.

  506. It says that he the promise is that he will

  507. be granted the spiritual like minded of God, and he

  508. will be enlightened and helped in his need by Jesus Christ.

  509. And to know, it's gonna be Jesus.

  510. Wherefore He's said, awake thou that sleep, and arise from

  511. the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. So as

  512. a promise, when you wake up and a rise, you're

  513. gonna be granted spiritual enlightenment and and you're gonna be

  514. hept in your needs by Jesus Christ.

  515. So then.

  516. See then that you walk circumspectully, not as fools, but

  517. as wise because Jesus our examples. So we don't need

  518. to be walking sircumspectully. Know man, we need to be

  519. walking wise Jesus walk wise. We gotta walk wise.

  520. Jesus our example.

  521. That's why I'm not understanding these teachings today because they

  522. go against when Jesus came to show us to do

  523. that we may be pleasing to the Father.

  524. Amen. So it tells us see then, that you walk circumspectully.

  525. In other words, in walking circumspectully, you have to be

  526. watchful and careful of how you live your life, ay man,

  527. and make sure that the ways.

  528. And the knowledge that you take of.

  529. Jesus you apply it to yourself and to your everyday life.

  530. And be especially aware of conduct amongst the unbelievers.

  531. This is why these unbelievers get this mess.

  532. How you a preacher, Yeah, you probably ain't no different

  533. than that other preacher and the one that was with

  534. that woman on the internet doing his thing, because he

  535. was a preacher too.

  536. Just meanwhile, you gotta you can't be walking like that.

  537. Amongst them heathens because they think all of us like that.

  538. They get it wrong, But it was one of us

  539. that helped them to get it wrong. That's the reason

  540. why we have to watch how we live as to

  541. always take the knowledge of Jesus and apply it to

  542. our everyday life, and be especially aware, always be especially aware.

  543. Of your conduct amongst believers.

  544. Now I can act, I can cut up with my brother.

  545. I tell you why I can't cut out with the heathen.

  546. He glory.

  547. I can't cut up with the heathen like I can

  548. cut up with my brother. Why because the heathen is

  549. looking for faulting me. But my brother understands me when

  550. I'm talking to him. He understands it's a clear, clean,

  551. holy cutting up. But the heathen don't think we are

  552. of even the Heathon, don't even think we should be

  553. able to even joke.

  554. Around a laugh. I've heard him say something I been on.

  555. People have a y'all playing cards? Well, what card's evil?

  556. Or somedding cards ain't evil. See, that's the reason why

  557. you got to be careful how you how you.

  558. Conduct yourself amongst the unbelievers, because see, they minds don't

  559. understand the ways of God, and they minds don't understand

  560. some of the things.

  561. We are privilege to do. But it don't look right

  562. to them because they don't know no better.

  563. Hey, man, if I walk up the sister lane in

  564. front of the heathens, kissy laying.

  565. On the jaw. Look at him.

  566. He got a white kissing all on that woman. The

  567. Bible said, greech your brother with a holy kiss.

  568. They don't know nothing about that. See, I ain't walk

  569. up to him, try to slop it down. It's wrong.

  570. Walk up to him and give a little kiss on

  571. the cheek and see the heath, and he'll make some.

  572. Stuff out of that.

  573. I told you, he just hearing them Horde preachers gad

  574. in him just like the rest of them.

  575. Yeah, that's a good one. That's why.

  576. That's why I only thinking you done gave him an

  577. excuse not to come to the house of God. You

  578. ain't gave him an excuse not to come to the

  579. house of God.

  580. They already were looking for one.

  581. And because and even if you did what you did

  582. in from him, that still ain't no excuse for him

  583. not to come. They still ain't gonna be justified in

  584. God's in God's sight when he comes for him. Redeem

  585. the time, because the days of evil, redeem the time,

  586. because the days are evil. That's why we got to

  587. that's why we have to walk circumspectully, because.

  588. We have to redeem the time. You don't know if

  589. you're gonna get time to get that you're right with it.

  590. So you're gonna have to watch how you walk in

  591. and your conduct before the heathen because they might run off.

  592. You might never see them again, and they gonna believe

  593. in that mess.

  594. So you gotta, you gotta, you gotta continue to be careful,

  595. watch how you live amongst them. You gotta redeem the time,

  596. which means you gotta make the most of every opportunity.

  597. You gotta make the most, which we don't do. But

  598. you have to make the most if you walk in

  599. like if you walk in with the walk of Jesus Christ,

  600. he never missed an opportunity to redeem the time. Never Contextually,

  601. the specific opportunity in view is that the is that

  602. of exposing the sins of the lost.

  603. And being a witness to them.

  604. This is contextually, in other words, with the text is

  605. talking about never losing or never not taking the opportunity

  606. of being a witness to the loss.

  607. Right, why is that? Because what the scripture said, because

  608. the days are evil. That's why you don't want to

  609. lose the opportunity. Because the days are evil. This assigns

  610. the reason to seize each.

  611. And every opportunity because the sins being committed during.

  612. These days are so evil. You can't miss a time.

  613. Because the sins of this time they're so evil. People

  614. doing stuff I ain't never heard people just people are.

  615. Just the money.

  616. I was driving down the street the other day and

  617. as I was driving down the street, going over a

  618. client's house, I turned the corner, I'm going this way.

  619. As I turn left, there was a man on the

  620. sidewalk boo booing. These are demonic time.

  621. Your mind can't be right if you on the sidewalk

  622. plain daylight, there wasn't night time where it pans down

  623. to his ankle, fold it up, boo booing, right on

  624. the sidewalk. The days are evil. Then he just pulled

  625. his paying something, no leaves or nothing. Evil, demonic. That's

  626. why we gotta That's why we have to redeem the time,

  627. cause the days are evil, the evil, and you.

  628. Know the days are evil. You shoot a man over

  629. McDonald order. What's wrong? You didn't get no cheese on

  630. your double? You shoot a man? The thea's evil.

  631. They're so evil that you leave the establishment, and when

  632. you leave, the evil beats you down.

  633. So bad, you come back and shoot the person that

  634. took your order. That's why we gotta redeem the time.

  635. The days are so evil.

  636. Wherefore verse seventeen and I'm done, be not unwise but

  637. understanding talking to you. Believe us what the will of

  638. the Lord is. Wherefore the Bible says right here. Wherefore

  639. wordfore tells us to look back to the evil days.

  640. And since the current days are so dangerous, we.

  641. As Christians must clearly.

  642. Understand what the will of God is and what the

  643. Lord God wants us to do.

  644. Amen. Amen, I'm done. Give the Lord a handclap the praise.

  645. This is accomplished by living by the spirit of God's power. Amen.

  646. Without the power of God in us, we can't walk
