  117. God for our friends. Family has here. What's up, John,

  118. Good to see your brother, heymen, Good to see all

  119. of you that are here on today. Expository teaching allows

  120. us the opportunity to be subject to the text, rather

  121. than the text being subject to us. We've been studying

  122. in the Book of Ephesians. The Book of Ephesians really

  123. declares to us the richest that we have that's in

  124. Christ Jesus. Tell your neighbors, say, neighbor, because you have Christ,

  125. you are rich and famous.

  126. Oh God, ily lujah, ily lujah, aly lujah, hallelujah.

  127. You are rich and famous.

  128. This book declares all of the riches that we have

  129. in Christ Jesus and speaks of the mysteries of Christ

  130. and really understanding those mysteries of Christ, that we naturally

  131. have to pray amen to really understand the deftness of

  132. those riches. So he says, pray, when you pray, pray

  133. that you may understand the hope of his calling, that

  134. you may understand the hope of your calling, of the

  135. riches of the inheritance that Christ have invested in us.

  136. And then what is the exceeding greatness of his power

  137. that is in Christ Jesus when he raised him from

  138. the dead.

  139. But we are rich.

  140. This book is extremely rich, and the people that he's

  141. talking to are extremely and abundantly rich. We talked about

  142. him to the God and whom we pray to Mother Johnson,

  143. And we know that the God who is of heaven

  144. and the earth, a man who's the father of every

  145. person that's ever lived, he's able to do exceedingly abundantly

  146. above all ask or think. But the power that's invested,

  147. that's why we don't pray to budd him. That's why

  148. we don't pray a man who the Muslim, they don't

  149. pray it to the Hindu. We don't pay you to

  150. how how because they can't do nothing, they still dead.

  151. But Jesus ishlylujah.

  152. We know he's alive. Because he's alive inside of me. Hallelujah.

  153. Because he lives, I can face tomorrow. Haigllelujah. Because he lives.

  154. We thank God for that. But the rich book. So

  155. today we're going into the Book of Ephesus again, chapter

  156. number four, and we'll be reading in your hearing a

  157. man Versus one through verse number six, Verses one through

  158. verse number six. When you have it, stand on your

  159. feet for the reading of God's word. Hallelujah, hallelujah. I

  160. therefore the prisoner of the Lord. And he says, here,

  161. I beseech you. What he says is that I'm begging,

  162. I'm pleading, I'm persuading with you on this note, that

  163. you understand the richest that God has placed in you.

  164. He says, I beseech you that ye want walk worthy

  165. of the vocation where with you are called. And then

  166. it said, it's the way you walk, how with all

  167. loneliness and meekness, with long suffering for bearing one another

  168. in love. And verse number three he says endeavoring to

  169. keep the unity of the spirit in the bund of peace,

  170. and declares there is one body, one spirit, even as

  171. you are called in one hope of your calling. There

  172. is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and

  173. Father of all, who is above all, through all, and

  174. in you all that we keep the unity of the spirit.

  175. He says, I beseech you that you walk worthy of

  176. the call, worthy of what you have received in Christ Jesus,

  177. that you walk in the worth and the value of

  178. what God called you to be and what God called

  179. you to do. In other words, how do we live

  180. out the life of the Kingdom of God by demonstrating

  181. how God how we should conduct ourselves and our lifestyle

  182. that matches the high value and the glorious nature of

  183. our divine calling. So today my thought is the kingdom

  184. lifestyle of the rich and famous, the kingdom lifestyle of

  185. the rich and famous. Again, how do believers conduct in

  186. lifestyle that matches the value of what God has placed

  187. in us in the glorious nature of this divine calling? Father,

  188. I thank you now for your word, or thank you

  189. for what you're gonna do, what you would say through

  190. these lips of claim, Thank you God for preparing the

  191. hearts of your people to receive your word on today.

  192. So God, we don't have to wait for the batteries.

  193. Or we have an expectation that, by the power of

  194. the Holy Spirit, that you would teach us, lead us,

  195. and guide.

  196. Us in all truth in Jesus' names.

  197. Shout Amen, high five at least three, four, five, six,

  198. seven people and tell him the lifestyle of the rich

  199. and famous, the life style, the lifestyle. You can put

  414. a man, the vacation, we wanted the spending money. Hey man,

  415. we wanted all of those things, hallelujah. We wanted the

  416. small bodies, we wanted the muscular frames. We wanted the

  417. gold teeth and the change. Can I get a witness

  418. up in here? Even on today, not only just on yesterday,

  419. some of us are still looking at TV of the

  420. lifestyle of the rich and famous, and yet we still

  421. want to get what they have.

  422. Hallelujah, Glory to God. But the truth of the matter

  423. is is that.

  424. They had all of those themes, and although they reached

  425. the pinnacle of success and their personal professional and financial success,

  426. yet they did not have they did not obtain the

  427. riches of God's kingdom for kingdom excess. Because the truth

  428. of the matter is is that when we get into

  429. the word of the Lord, the Book of Matthew and

  430. Matthew sixteen and twenty six say, what is it that

  431. a man can gain the whole world?

  432. Oh God, I feel the Holy goost right here yeah, yeah.

  433. You can get all of this stuff and all of

  434. this bling bling hallelujah, hallelujah. But if you don't have Christ,

  435. you don't have anything. Hallelujah. If you ain't coming in

  436. the blood, you don't have anything. If you don't have grace,

  437. you don't have anything. If you don't have the Word,

  438. you don't have anything. So what is it that a

  439. man will gain, uh huh, the yacht, the car, the house,

  440. the money, the value, and yet still lose his soul?

  441. Or what would a man give in exchange for his soul?

  442. You got to understand that when we come down to it,

  443. that even in the generation in which we're living in today,

  444. that there are some folks that's still not healthy in

  445. their virtuality. Matter of fact, they are yet committing suicide hallelujah.

  446. Even though they got the yacht, even though they got

  447. the car, even though they got the jewelry, But yet

  448. they're not emotionally stable, they're not psychologically stable. Come on,

  449. can I get a witness up in here? Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

  450. A money might can buy your happiness, but it came

  451. by your love. Hallelujah. And folks, are loving for love

  452. in all of the wrong places. Hallelujah. Yes, sir, it

  453. can make you rich, but it can't make your healthy.

  454. Hallelujah.

  455. I wish I had somebody up in here. It can

  456. make your rich, but it doesn't necessarily make you wealthy. Hallelujah.

  457. He obtained everything, but yet have lost their souls. Mental

  458. health having is shoes today, emotional help having isshoes today,

  459. social help having issues today, psychological help ivan isshoes today.

  460. The reason for this because they don't have the mindset

  461. to cast down imaginations hallelujah. And even though they're going

  462. through whatever they need to go through, yet they still

  463. have some health issues. And the only way they can

  464. be healed they got to own. They can only be

  465. healed by the blood of Jesus. And that's why Jesus said,

  466. I come for those that are not whole. So you

  467. act like you hoole, you act like you complete, hallelujah,

  468. and you don't realize that you unhealthy hallelujah, because you

  469. don't have me, but because you are unhealthed. He's haid

  470. to ain't come to them that will hold but them

  471. who had.

  472. Needed a physician hallelujah.

  473. And so we got to learn that even in the

  474. situations and what we're going through in life, that if

  475. we could give counsel to any of those who are

  476. yet unhealthy in all of those different aspects, you got

  477. to learn how to cast down imaginations. Can I get

  478. a witness up in here. You won't commit su side
