Take my Cloak upon you and "Live"

I want to read out of the book of Ezekiel if I may

The script that I'm going to take I'm going to read several verses today, but not all at once

Praise God and I want to begin at Ezekiel chapter 16 as you see there on the I was gonna call it la pantalla

Ezekiel 16 · chapter mention

But it's the screen. I don't you know how you say it in English. Amen, but the screen

Amen, and it says this way then I received another message from the Lord Son of Man

Man

confronts Jerusalem with its

detestable sins

Give her this message from the sovereign Lord

You are nothing more than a Canaanite woman

Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite on the day you were born

No one cared for you

Your umbilical cord was not cut or you were

Or you were washed or rubbed with salt or wrapped in swaddling clothes

No one took the slightest interest in you

No one had compassion on you or cared for you on the day you were born

You were unwanted you were thrown into the field and left to die

and

I want to if I may give this thought

take my cloak

upon you and

live

Take my cloak upon you and live lift up your hands there as we go before the Lord father

I thank you for this moment

In time Lord that you have given us to be here once again bringing sacrifice of praise to you

Which is the most important part of our service to you and worship

Lord God the message now Lord that you have for your people Lord help me that I may deliver it as you gave it to me

God in the name of Jesus that it will touch the hearts of somebody both here today and through social media

However, they might

hear and view it today that it may be an encouragement to them knowing God that

You brought us out from the miry clay

You lift us lifted us up you pulled us out from where we were and you have placed us in heavenly places with you

And Lord, we are so grateful and thank

Thankful to you in your mighty name Jesus

Amen, you may take your places

Take my cloak upon you and live

this script that of this word from Ezekiel to Jerusalem

It's quite depth. There's so much so much

Theology in that and I'm I cannot go into all of all of that

You can make a great series out of this

Amen that you were more

nothing more than a canine night woman and

Your father was a man of the word

And your father was an amorite and your mother a hittite

which is

not under the covering and the promises of god and

And but it is this scripture is a very powerful reflection of where god brought us from

And this is something that I oftentimes reflect

As who am I I could be driving in my automobile and and just going or on an airplane

Traveling somewhere and and in my mind and heart I asked myself who am I that I would be where I am today

And it's not of my own doings of my own

Abilities or talents or gifts or whatever that I we might claim that we have and I don't claim to have any of those

But nonetheless what am I doing here? Who am I that I should be where I am?

And maybe that has crossed your mind as well

But and I was I've always thought of this passage here this scripture that I that I read and studied so many years ago

As power is a powerful reminder of where and how god rescued me from a miserable

Condition in this passage the lord commissions the prophet ezekiel to confront

Jerusalem and this is the different cut I'm gonna I'm just gonna go through this part part rather quickly because that is not

My entirety but but we need to know why it all happened

Why did why did Ezekiel continue to write in this passage?

About where we have come from and Ezekiel had to confront

Jerusalem and because of its detestable backslidden

Condition this passage was and is a great reminder of how

The Lord found us he loved us. He blessed us and he gave us a hope and from a condemned

Condition when we had no hope he gave us hope god used the prophet Ezekiel to remind

His people of how they had become

detestable and

distant from their sovereign God while forgetting their beginnings and left their first love in

Revelations 2 and 4 it talks about that the Lord gave this to the great man

Apostle John he says nevertheless I have this against you that you have left your first love

You know many of us we don't know we can we've asked your your your spouse or your mom or your dad

Do you love me and says yes? I love you

You know and how much do you love me well this much you know and you you're going to measure it

It's hard to measure love praise God. It's hard to measure it

I mean they may not love you at all, but they really convinced you you know and and but you know we depend on people

Measuring love how what is love but the one that could measure love is love itself

God is love even that's who he is and it's measurable according to his you know measuring stick

He can measure the love in our lives, but when you have God in your life you have love

Hello, amen because God is love praise God hits it. There's nothing else outside the world thinks they know love

Nobody knows love like we do

Because God is in us and we have his love bless God for that

Jerusalem put themselves in a certain condition and they begin to drift away

And I'm gonna keep it short that they drifted away for whatever reason has became an idolatrous people and you know it almost

depicts certain situations certain people and

Religions and so forth they start off well, but they don't end well

They start in love and they they they fail it to continue in that

But the Lord he he is a God a man of restoration

Thank God for that how many of us have ever failed God at one time or another if you have never failed God

We have a prize for you at the church

But if you failed him at one time don't expect nothing from God or from us

Amen, but we've all failed God at one time or another praise God. We probably failed him this morning

You know something you said or something you did or something you didn't do it praise God

We failed him all the time, but thank God that he's a forgiving God and he's a

Restoration God and he restored he puts us back to where we need to be with a man, but Jerusalem

themselves they they got they drifted away from the will of God and

They and and more than anything as a representation of God

You know that Jerusalem was a representation of who God is because God took them from nothing and he made them something

And that's the way God works in all lives. He took us from nothing and he made us something

So who are we we are the representation of God?

We are restored you're looking at a restored person right here because God did it and only God can do what he does

Man, if God can fix this he can fix anything you hear what I'm saying if he can fix your heart your mind your spirit

Your past if he can wash it all the way and make you brand new

Rest and be the name of the Lord. Amen. That is amazing

What was a sign of them leaving their first love Jerusalem?

They they began to drift it a man and and and because of that

The only thing that we can apply to it there is that they left their first love when you leave your first love you start

Acting certain weird ways you start doing things that that are not customarily

Well, or you know, and so God he knows right away

He knows because nothing hides you can't hide anything from God

Their best days when your best days are in the past you're drifting away from God's love

That he calls you nothing right there

When your best days are behind you you're falling out of love

Because the love is to grow

Love needs to grow in our lives and if you're not growing in love

You're falling out of love

Praise the Lord. That's what happened to Jerusalem. They began to fall out of love

They they began to do things act on things put change the priorities, you know, it's not so important anymore

No, no, no, it's okay. God's forgiving God. Just do it like that

Do it like that any away and they began to do things any away and and so what happened there is that?

They they began to lose out with God and they began to drift away in these and but as

Jerusalem and as many today after they have been prospered blessed and given life

They forget about their beginnings in the world the Lord finds this fallen and abused and rejected

And helpless person that we read about this little baby

We're going to be talking about this little baby today a little child that was found in a field

And this little child was a newborn child, but it was born in the world and it's a representation of our

Old condition where and how God found us and he begins to talk about her

He talks he he talks about Jerusalem as a little baby and how he found

This this this people this nation they had no name

They had nothing to them and it's it's the way that world produces humanity

It's the way that the world produces people it praise God

We can't blame the people for acting the way they act and doing the crazy things they do

Because that's what the world does it produce them that forms them that develops them into who they are

There's people out in the world that hate there's people out there that that that discriminate

There's people in the world that they do all kinds of crazy things

But they're doing what the world does so we can't blame them

But we need to blame the spirit behind all of that and know that the devil is a liar

How many know that event and he is the god of this world and he tends to control the people that live within

And this little baby that we reference here is is how the lord found

this little baby

And our god he he's a redeeming god. Can you say praise the lord for that?

Amen in galatians four and three it says that is what happened to us before christ came we were like

Children we were slaves to the basic spiritual principles of this world. What are the basic?

Spiritual principles of the world the basic spiritual principles of the lord is in slavery

It it controls your mind your spirit. It controls everything about you praise god

So if that car cuts you off on the freeway or or you know, whatever happens somebody stole

Something from you took advantage of you or whatever that is

That comes from the basic spiritual principles of this world and we're not going to change those

But we are better than that because we've been introduced to something much greater praise the lord somebody

And this is the way god found us. This is the way we were found. We weren't found a man in a perfect state of

Oh, man, you don't even need baptism brother. There's been there's been people think they don't need baptism because they don't they think they don't have no sin

How many of you were like that don't raise your hand

I wasn't like that. Believe me. I knew I needed more than one bad do it twice dump me twice brother

It's almost like once is not enough, you know do it twice do it three times

You know, I really need a good washing here in the blood praise god

But once it's enough somebody say once was enough for me

Amen, but look at the spiritual principles of the world those spiritual principles are powerful because they dominate the control

And that's what they produce. They produce a failing people a fallen people

In our passage we see an unwanted neglected and an unloved child

A child abandoned and exposed to the elements of the world

The only thing that waited her was the bible says is death

That's it. And ezekiel said this was your condition, Jerusalem

You were miserable before god came to you

The condition of this child is how god found everybody

This is how he found me ezekiel said this child was unclean

Unloved uncared for and unclaimed

Unclean because the child had not been washed

But remained in the state in which it was born

Unclean as romans 3 23 and isaiah 64 6 says tells us we are all unclean sinners in the eyes and in the presence of god

That's how I came to him. That's how he found me

And this is the condition we're with the world

Throws out the babies

It throws out the babies. It just leaves the babies in that condition

Unloved and uncared for

This child had not even had her umbilical cord cut properly

She was not been she had not been washed nor rubbed with it

She was not been she had not been washed nor rubbed with salt. There's so much significance there

Amen, we can spend a lot of time talking about being washed or rubbed with salt

To protect her from the elements of the world that was harming her

She had not been clothed

She had been left naked and exposed to all the dangers and all the elements of the world

Into which she had been born and this is the way we were born

And we were all born sinners. Uh, every one of us was born a sinner

It doesn't matter how cute you were and and and and you know

They put that bow on your head young ladies babies as a big look how cute and you young guys, you know

Well, you weren't so cute, but but you were you know, you were healthy

Amen, we're gonna say you were cute. We're on the girls. Yeah, you know, the beautiful princess and whatnot

Praise god, but in all of that you were a sinner. I don't think i've heard anybody, you know

What the brand new born baby? We're gonna say this you see her for the you sinner

She's not gonna tell that to a baby you're gonna offend the mom and daddy, you know

But the fact is yes, we were because we were born in sin

We were born in a human way and here we are praise god

It seemed that everyone around this little baby girl hated her

This is how the world rejects humanity

This is how the world treats its babies. This is how the spiritual

principles of the world

Treats their newborns. They abandon them. They leave them there. They hope they die in their miserable condition

For this reason david even said at one occasion in psalm 142 and 40

He said refuge has failed me

He says no one cares for my soul and that's how he felt and he expressed himself that way

But that is the way that that that a born

Human in this world a baby in this world a refuge has failed them

No one cares for their soul. This little girl was laid naked before the hostile world

No matter how hard we tried to hide our condition

We can never hide our shame our guilt or our sin

We are like this little girl that was naked in the field

covered in her own blood

Hebrews 4 and 13 it says there is nothing in all creation that is hidden from god

Everything is naked and exposed in his eyes

And it is to him that we give account

Praise be to god. Nothing is hidden. Nothing passes by everything. He sees

Everything praise god. No one wanted to claim this little girl

Neither the mom or the father would claim her as their own

There's not a father. There's not a mother in this world that can save their child from sin

Amen, there's nothing you can do. You can say i'm gonna do this

I'm gonna do that. No, no, no, no, you can't uh, you know baptize them as a baby

But you can present them before god obviously praying that that god gives you the strength that you've been rear up and train up this child

In the fear of the lord and one day they will decide for their own selves that they want to surrender their soul to him

But this child here that we're talking about had no idea

Can you imagine a a new born child in a field by itself?

Bloody naked it's umbilical cord to the side. They're hanging on to for dear life

No one wanted to claim this little girl neither her mother nor her father

Amen would claim this and we are praise god ourselves or were like orphans just like this baby

Abandoned even though you might say well, I'm not gonna do this

Abandoned even though you might say well my mother my daddy loved you. Oh, yes, they did

But they were still an orphan before god

Why it's because you didn't have your heavenly father with you

Ephesians 2 12 says at that time you were living apart from christ

You were not allowed to be citizens of israel

And you did not know the promises of the covenant that god had made with you you lived in this world without

God and without hope

Doesn't matter how good you are

What nice things you do in life and I know a lot of people that don't know god

They do a lot of nice things for people but that's not going to save them

Yes, we have a family. We have friends all around us, but they cannot

ever

Satisfy the desire and the longing of our soul

What our soul desires is a relationship with the living god and creator of all mankind

Amen this wisdom this this excuse me this newborn child baby

Amen was completely unable to change its own situation

And this is what I want you to see

You know a lot of us we we think that you know

We were at the right place at the right time and and you know, so you got saved you went to the right revival

You went that's that's that's okay. You know, that's all and that's wonderful

But you know what you didn't set up your salvation. You didn't set yourself up for salvation

praise god, and you might say yeah brother, but I

You know I used to give to the church and I and I used to clean the church and I and I used to do

All these you know, and yeah, that's all fine. You did all that you did all of that

But you didn't set yourself up for salvation

No, you did not

God came to you. He said if I'd be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto me

You don't have nothing to do with your salvation. I came to you

I found you like this little baby in a field full of blood

Uncapable of taking care of yourself. You couldn't feed yourself. You couldn't give yourself milk

You couldn't wash yourself clean yourself clothe yourself. I picked you up from there

That's where I found you and I picked you up from that condition

I'm the one that lifted you up. I clipped your umbilical cord. I put cleaning solution upon you

I washed you

This baby could not change its current condition if someone does not come to rescue rescue her

She will surely die

Praise God. This could be someone here today or maybe listening on the live broadcast today

Praise God. This could be your condition today. There is nothing we can do to rescue ourselves

You don't have the power within yourself to rescue you

You have to see yourself as this little baby you help your helpless hopeless laying there with no

Future with nothing a man on that that you can say was of any beauty upon you

You could have been the most beautiful baby, but with that blood in the condition that we're laying out in the field

There's nothing we can do to rescue our own selves

This baby's condition is the condition of humanity if you please if there were if this was the end of the story

Oh, it would be sad

But thank God that's not the end of the story of this little baby girl in Ezekiel 16 6

It says yet. I came and saw you there

Kicking helplessly in your own blood as you lay there. I said

live

Wow, somebody say live

He stopped

He stooped down and he began to minister healing to this helpless child

And let me say something to you the only word that the Lord

Jehovah God uttered to this little baby girl was

Live and you know, that's all he has to say

You know, it will go against everything. What is the one thing that everybody fears in this world?

Are not ready for well, maybe you don't well

We don't we're children of God to be absent from this bodies to be ever present with God, but yet you're hanging on right

Nobody wants to leave praise God

But the sooner we get there the sooner is it's going to get better for all of us

But the one thing that the Lord said was

live

We can see what Christ has done for all who have put their faith and their trust in him

It this it was the Lord who came near and saved this little girl

Death was certain but the voice of God

Speaks and gives life in Ezekiel the next verse 7 it says and I helped you to flourish

Like a plant of the field you grew up and became a precious jewel

Your breast grew your hair came out

But you were still naked. I'm going to tell you something

There's a process in how God does things and when this is what we have to be patient with the Lord sometimes

But he said I and I helped you to flourish. He said I made you who you are today

Everybody that is in this building and that is hearing my voice

I want you to know that it was God that helped you you were right

It was God that helped you you were miserable. You were in a state of death, but God helped you

He made you flourish

And become like a plant in the field there where you are

What does that mean that while we're still in this world?

We can be blessed and be prospered and live heavenly for God even though we're not of this world

We're still here, but we can be precious in the sight of the Lord

Praise God a precious jewel

It's what this little baby became

He been this abandoned

girl through the love of God became a young lady a

precious jewel

The same one who was despised rejected abandoned and considered worthless

And now is adorned with beauty

What a picture of what Jesus can do and does when he enters into our lives

I'm not I am what I am because of him. I didn't do anything praise God

To be where I'm at today

I have to be thankful to the Lord every day for pulling me out of that horrible place

He meant out to be thankful for the Lord for taking this little bloody baby one day and putting it in his arms

Oh, I want to tell somebody today. You got to think back that way. That's how I see myself

This is why I have such great gratitude for my savior is because that's where he pulled me up

That's what he did

He took this little baby bloody in the condition that it was and he caressed it and began to love this child

What a picture of what Jesus does

When he tells us to live

What a powerful and loving transformation

Ezekiel 16 8 the next verse says then I passed by again

And saw that you were of

an age for love

Then I wrapped my cloak

around you

To cover your nakedness

and pronounced my

marriage vows

to you

I made a covenant with you says the sovereign Lord and you became mine

Wow

This is this is this is really something we can be on this for a month man

I'm telling you that this is has some so much theological depth

The Lord covered her with his cloak

that is the

the topic of today

The cloak holds a significant symbolism in the bible

From the old testament to the new testament the biblical meaning of the cloak

Is woven into numerous stories and teachings in scripture

a cloak can symbolize

favor

distinction

in God's faithfulness

the cloak typifies

righteousness

and protection

The prophet Isaiah said in Isaiah 61 and 10

He says for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness

When he covers us you're covered. I got you covered

You're not going to find an insurance company in the world that will cover you like he covers us

He covers us with his own garment of service. He clothed us. He put his own cloak

upon us of salvation

He covered us with his robe of righteousness

We are who we are we talk and we walk

And we act and we do the things we do today because he covered you with his cloak

in biblical times a cloak represented various aspects of a person's identity

and spiritual journey

If a man came and put his cloak on a woman

He was claiming her betrothal

and

ultimately marriage

to love to cherish to protect

and to safeguard

You see the cloak that that you have received upon your life

The cloak that he has put upon you and is put upon me

Let me tell you something. That is a covenant

That God made with you and me to love us

to cherish us to protect us

And to safeguard us I can do all things through christ

Why because I've got his cloak upon me. I'm a child of the living god

He has rescued me from shame and disgust and sin

He clothed his cloak upon me and now I feel love like i've never felt it before

I feel the covering upon my life like nobody can do

I feel safe and I feel cherished and I feel protected

Praise god

It was a public sign of commitment of love of desire and of devotion

It is for this reason that ezekiel goes on to say

That god entered into a covenant

An everlasting covenant

With this chosen one, which is you and me

Whom he found abandoned and destitute

In the same way god has claimed us

as his own

He has made a covenant with us

That cannot be broken or that that he has not covered us with himself

He put his own cloak on you

He didn't he didn't tell somebody else to throw a blanket on you. No, no, no, he took off his own cloak

He put it on you

And when he did that you're covered sister you're covered brother

You're under his care. He cherishes you he protects you

He is your security. He is your identity

Amen, because when people see that cloak on you

They see christ because you are covered. Amen in the cloak of christ

That is what identifies us with it

What identifies us with him is the fact that he put his cloak upon us

Amen, and he loves we are his we're mine. I'm yours lord. Hey, amen. I'm sorry. I got your cloak upon me

I can I can go to whatever this world has

I can go to whatever this world has

But I'm gonna be all right because greater is he amen that i'm cloaked with than he that is in the world

I've got your covering. I got god's covering upon my life. No matter what comes your way

It doesn't matter what the doctor says doesn't matter what the lawyer and the judge says it don't matter what anybody says

It's because you have the cloak of god upon your life

Bless the lord

Only he in him do we find refuge salvation and love

Compassion security and the hope for all eternity. This is our wonderful picture of god's grace in action

He's still reaching out to the helpless today

To the hopeless to the rejected and and to the abandoned the lonely the unworthy and he says to you today

Live

If you're hearing my voice today and you have not

Been cloaked you have not been covered

Let him cloak you today. Let him cover you with his protection

It don't cost you nothing. The price has been paid. It's not gonna it's gonna help you

Consider yourself as a little baby in a field

Abandoned you're helpless as much as you feel that you feel love around you

You're not gonna feel love until you have that cloak upon your life

He's still reaching out

Somebody here today somebody, you know watching, you know via whatever amen and and

You you get you need to know that he loves you today

And he wants to save your soul. He he wants to tell you today live

live

Live he has truly given us beauty for ashes as isaiah says beauty for ashes

I I could have been still in that field

Abandoned thinking waddling in the dust a man waddling in my own blood

Just hoping that I could make it for that another night

Hoping that I could make it for that another night

But you know what you don't need to spend another night

Amen in the field in waddling in your own blood

You can let him come to you and you can say here. I am lord here. I am lord

Come on to me. I open my heart to you lord. Amen. And this is a choice today

Ezekiel 16 and 9 and 10 it says then I bathed you he says

I wiped away your blood and I rubbed your skin with

Fragrant oils. Look at that my god. I clothed you in costly garments of fine linen

And sealed with beautiful embroidery and I put sandals of the finest quality

Of goat's skin on you

Oh somebody say I'm glad I'm clothed by him. I'm so glad that he found me

I'm so glad that he reached down for me. I'm so glad that he picked me up

from that horrible place

Ezekiel explains explains exactly what god has done for this little girl

He cleansed her healed her and

consecrated her

He washed away all impurities all the sin everything that separated her from him

When god saves us he cleanses totally by the blood of Jesus Christ

Romans 5 and 9 it says much more than have he now been justified by his blood

We shall be saved from the wrath through him

Wow. Oh

his clothe

His clothe covers me

He also anointed this little baby

with oil

The oil had a double purpose in those days

medicinal and religious

By anointing the little baby girl with oil or the girl with oil event

He was showing that he came to bring healing to the lives of those he saves

in 2nd Corinthians 1 21 it says now

He who establishes us with you in Christ has anointed us in God us is God

He anointed you he's anointed me

All that oil that he put on her. Let me tell you something. He was looking to this day

He he was yes, he's he's he told

Ezekiel to

Speak prophetically to Jerusalem

But in reality God put the words in his mouth as Ezekiel began to proclaim

But he was looking to this day today

This was a prophetical word a prophetic message not just to Jerusalem

But to us here today that could easily by just accepting him into my life into our lives

Bless the name of the Lord. Don't wait another day

Don't take another day in the field covered in that condition

Be saved be saved. This is the day of salvation

The scripture says at the moment of salvation. He gives us the holy spirit

as our sanctifier as our

Counselor and as our comforter. This is a typology of the oil that he put upon her

Amen, the oil is his is significant of his spirit how he how he gave us

His spirit and how we have his anointing upon our lives. He came to heal wounds

damaged

Relationship damaged emotions mental scars

Amen, he came to heal us so that we may have abundant living

If you think you're living you're not living until you're living

In God you're not living it until you're cloaked by his cloak

You're not living until you're anointed by him

Washing the salt washed by him

Taking in his arm to love you to caress you to cherish you to protect you

This is what it means and you will never ever be alone again

It doesn't matter where you end up in life when you have christ you got everything you need

What else do you need if you got jesus? Amen. We have been

consecrated

For his glory. I'm gonna ask the keyboards if he can come up now. Praise god

Praise god doesn't mean anything but just come

No, i'm almost done

This little girl's life

Would never be enough

And my life

Would never be the same

again

If you are hearing my voice today and

First of all in the opening of the scripture we talked about how that

Jerusalem had lost their first love

And that's that can happen

We've seen it we don't want to judge nobody but but you know over the years in my life

In one occasion I was

I was praying

It was for a relative of mine

And I was preaching a revival many years ago and this relative came

And I know that this person had so many chances to

Make things right with god was backslidden

And I I seen this person get close to god and then leave come back and leave

back and forth and

Happened to be there in that revival and I was it was a big altar. I was praying and

after we had preached and and I was praying for the people and

I experienced something that I had never

In my life to this day

ever experienced

And it wasn't good

When I went to pray and lay hands on this person

Something pushed me away

And it wasn't the devil. It was god

It says don't

I said well lord I was gonna don't

Then I heard a cry

From this person

I heard a cry that I had never heard before I heard a cry

As if somebody was falling

and falling and falling

and falling

Oh my god said lord, why did you let me hear that?

Why did you let me hear that cry? I

I'll it's right here in my heart my mind all these years. It's never left me

And he says because I wanted you to hear the cry of a reprobate mind

And I says but lord

It's a soul. He says you leave that to me

You leave that to me

But you need to know

That the only

Only option people have is this salvation

And I've preached my heart out for many many many years i've been preaching and

Teaching and reaching out to folks. I don't ever want to hear that cry again

never

It's not a not a nice cry

I heard as though the

Voice was falling deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper

And the lord says, you know what that is and I says yes I do

He says only I can correct that

And I told god mercy god have mercy

And that's up to him

but

When we reject god or when we

Pull away from him and we begin to

Make reasons or excuses or justifications to drift away from him

It's dangerous

You know years ago

Years ago when I was just a young man just newly converted only had like maybe six months

I used to go to the prayer meetings every sunday morning at the church at 6 a.m

We had fasting every sunday the young people would go and we would fast every sunday

And there was a backslider that came and I invited this backslider to come come come with me to the prayer

or coming fast with me and

Finally, I'd convinced him and I and he came

King

Oh my god, and

We gathered around him and we prayed and prayed and prayed and

Then the lord

Began to lift up his spirit

He began to speak in tongues and oh my god

What a restoration

That's amazing

But then back then

Unfortunately

Backsliders could not come back

Backsliders were not permitted to come back

And when I took him to the pastor and I said pastor pastor

Look what the lord has done

And he says what's he doing here?

And I said, well, I invited him. He says no

Once you turn your back on god, you're done

Please leave and never come back

I heard those words

And let me tell you something it pierced my heart

I cried for days and days and didn't understand it

but the lord

Showed me and says

I am a restoring god

So I talked to that brother and I says just

Find a place that you can worship god and just serve the lord with all your heart

And he did

To this day. He's still serving god

And still serving the lord

Didn't lose him

But just the mindset and the mentality

in those days

Well, let me tell you those hermanitos that get out in a lane. I see

My god

it's

But we do serve a god that restores

He's a restoration god and in time we learned that and

And you know the pastor he changed in in in the short time and realized that

There's restoration

and but it was just the way that

The belief was at that time but thank god

that the lord

he dealt with Jerusalem in a way where

They became

restored in splendor after

later on and with time and and i'm telling somebody here today or on

Whoever means you can hear this

There's hope for you

There's hope for you

The lord will extend his hand to where you are because he loves you

Take and receive him in faith today and see how that

He wants

you

To hold you like he held that little baby

What he did for that little baby he'll do for you today

Hallelujah
