Guest Speaker David Schwarz: Skeletons in the closet (Sunday 3-30-25)

Welcome to Life City. This podcast was created to celebrate

what God is doing and what for Texas. Our vision

is to reach the hungry, the hurdy, and the hopeless.

God has given us our heading. Join us today as

we listen to the Word and we pray that God

speaks to you in this message.

I want to to say it's an honor to have

a brother and sister, David and Munda Schwartz with us today.

They drove here all the way from Costa Rica. No,

not really, that would be hard to do. But they

were missionaries in Costa Rica for twenty plus years and

they now fulfill a position in Global Missions as a

regional director over that part of the world. And it

is an honor. He called me and he said, hey,

I'm going to be in the area. I said, come on,

have him. So glad to have him preach today. If

you do not know, yeah, Dennis not Grass, our our

candy man.

Everybody know Dennis.

Okay, Dennis is blessed to have Yonder as his sister.

All right, So yes, that's so, that's the connection. Uh

so they we are so glad to have them. Brother Schwartz,

would you come and minister the Word of the Lord.

Why don't we give the Lord a handclap of praise

as brother Swartz.

Comes, Well, thank you, brother don praise the Lord.

Everyone well that trains lights are bright. But it is

an honor to get to be here with you, and

we're thankful for this great opportunity. And yes, Dennis is

my brother in law, and of course that makes his

wife my sister in law. So y'all pray for us.

I'm sure you will pray more now that you know.

But I appreciate you, this church, the Duns, what they're

doing here, the hard work that they have put into

seeing this church raised up.

And we come occasionally through here.

I think the last time we were here, your pastor

drove off in a Lamborghini and he's kind of wondering

when that's going to happen again. But so God's good

to us, isn't he. I feel highly honored to be here.

There's some of you that we know and have known

for a long time, and it's not because we're old,

it's just, you know, a long time, and it's such

good to see the Overman's here today. And of course

Lynda goes, we go back a little further and there

were some crazy days. If I remember when I was young,

you know, like a teenager in the church in Odessa.

So but God's been good to us and we've made

it here today. Amen, if you want to remain standing,

I'm gonna go ahead and get into the word of

the Lord today. Have some interesting things I think today,

and I want to read to you from the Book

of First corinth Then chapter six, verses nine through eleven.

It's great to be with Chad and v.

And jac and Chase and the guy back there in

the sound booths. Chad, he is interesting guy. Amen, bumpering Amy.

Also Emily and Jeremy's hiding back there. So this is

family to us. So there you again, you have reason

to pray. If it wasn't for the Lord, I wouldn't

be here today, none of us would be. Amen. So

let's read the word of the Lord. One Corinthians, Chapter six,

verse nine. Know you not that the unrighteous shall not

inherit the Kingdom of God. Be not deceived, neither fornicators,

nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves

with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetious nor drunkards, nor revilers

nor extortioners shall inherit the Kingdom of God. It's a

pretty bold statement. But look what the next one says,

and such were everybody say? Were such? Were some of you?

Probably all of us in one category there we fit.

But you're washed, you're sanctified, you're justified in the name

of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit of our God. Amen,

you can be seated in the name of the Lord. Now,

I have some people here that was hoping for pictures

of what I'll probably be talking about some here today,

but they're not any Thank the Lord. There were no

cell phones. They did not exist. That's how old I am.

There were no cell phones. You only had landlines, you know,

and they didn't take pictures. So thank the Lord for that.

I'm glad I lived in that time, in those days

for sure. So they don't have any pictures today. But

I want to talk to you till today a little

bit about skeletons in the closet. Skeletons in the closet,

and so it does have a meaning that term, and

that term means a secret source of shame, potentially uness

if exposed, which a person or family makes effort to conceal.

You just don't want that out. Well, that's filings and

all that Instagram. You can't hide hardly anything anymore. There again,

I said, glad I live back then. So the phrase

a skeleton in the closet was actually coined in England

in the nineteenth century, and since then the word closet

has become used, primarily in England to mean water closet,

or that is, a laboratory, a possible hiding place for

a skeleton, but not one with much potential. The English

now usually uses skeletons in the cupboard, with skeleton in

the closet more common in the USA. A skeleton in

the closet, undoubtedly originated, is an allusion to an apparently

irreproachable person or family having a guilty secret waiting to

be uncovered the closet at hand. Domestic imagery of a

closet or a cupboard You got that gives a sense

of the ever present risk of discovery. What isn't clear

is whether the origin of the phrase lies in fiction

or with real loppy skeletons. The phrase was first used

in the early eighteen hundreds. The first reference that I

could find was in a print as a figurative one

in a piece by William Hendry Stole and the UK,

and it was in a monthly parody article called the

Electic Review in eighteen sixteen. It's a little older than me.

The skeleton in this case was disease, infectious disease or

hereditary something that was there that people didn't want others

to know about. Two great sources of distress or the

danger of contagion and the apprehension of hereditary diseases. The

dread of being the cause of misery to posterity has

prevailed over men to conceal the skeletons in the closet.

The dramatic device of a hidden body was used widely

in the Gothic novels of the famous Victorian period of

Edgar Allan Poe, who was a master of such tales.

For example, example, he wrote this is an extract from

the book story he had the Black Cat in eighteen

forty five. Gentlemen, I'd like to have allayed your suspicions.

And here, through the mere frenzy of bravado, so I

wrapped heavily upon that very portion of the brickwork behind

which stood the corpse of the wife of my bosom.

The wall fell bodily, the corpse, already greatly decayed, stood

direct before the eyes of the spectacle. Any of you

that know any of Edgar Allen Poe's writings, they were

always quite interesting. It's been suggested that the phrase derives

from the air of the notorious body snatchers, that is,

prior to eighteen thirty two thirty two, yes, when United

Kingdom the Anatomy Act allowed the more extensive use of

corpses for medical research. The theory goes that in a

scenario similar to that of the concealment of Catholic priests

and priest holes in domestic houses and Elizabethan Elizabethan, England,

doctors would conceal and cupboards the illegally held skeletons use

for teaching. There's no evidence at all to corroborate all

of the theory, but concealed skeletons are occasionally found in

walled up in houses.

But they are usually those of unwanted infants.

The notion of a skeleton in the closet as shorthand

for the grim evidence of a murder was widely adopted

in the language thanks to the writing of the popular

Victorian author William make Peace Thackeray. He referred to a

skeleton in every house in a Piece of eighteen forty five,

and explicitly to skeletons in closet in the Newcomb's Memoirs

of a Most Respectable Family eighteen fifty four eighteen fifty five.

Some particulars regarding the Newcombe family, which will show us

that they have a skeleton or two in their closets

as well as their neighbors. Whether Factory was alluding to

actual skeletons or whether he was responding to the imaginationan

imagination of arthurs like Edgar Allan Poe, we are never

likely to know. But one person he certainly wasn't referring

to was the eighteenth nineteenthromy. Despite his being the best

known actual skeleton in a cupboard, Bentam was hardly aiming

to keep his skeleton a secret, as he willed that

his body be preserved in a wooden cabinet. It is

on public display and University College in London. Okay, we

know that the blood of Jesus washes us white as snow.

Isaiah one states, Come now, let us reason together, saith

the Lord though your sins be as scarlet.

Let me put it this way.

Though your sins are many, though your sins are severe.

It says they shall be white as snow, though they

be red like crimson, they shall be as wolf. So

I guess the question would be if it is possible

that a blood bought child of God could have skeletons

in his closet. Nothing's hidden from the Lord. Nothing. What

he washes is washed, and it's gone, and it's like

it never existed. Ever, he chooses not to accuse are

to bring it up before us again. He's not like

we are, and that's wonderful. Now. No, none of you

would ever want to accuse anybody of anything just because

you know that they did that that dirty dog. No,

we wouldn't do that. But the Lord chooses not to

ever bring it up again. I used to say that

the only weakness that the Lord had was forgetfulness, But

that's not true, because he doesn't forget. He just chooses

not to accuse us again of any past sin. Now, Satan,

that's a different story. On the other hand, the scripture

says that he is what the accuser of the brethren,

he'll continue to bring it before you. And if you

have a past and you can think you got everything

good and everything's fine and no one knows or it's

a forgotten thing, then buddy, here he comes, and he'll

perch up on the side of you and he'll let

you Oh yeah, but what about this? Because that's the

way he does it. He'll do everything possible to convince

all of us that past is not forgiven or at

chain to keep us from becoming what God really wants

us to be. He convinces some and because of that

then they get lost in all of them stuff out there.

But it's a tactic that has worked so well, and

it will continue to attempt. He will continue to attempt

to convince others you can't do that, or who do

you think you are? Your past disqualifies you? Sit down,

shut up, We don't want to Who are you to

even worship the Lord? When the pastor says, raise your

hands and worship. Has the Lord been good to you? Oh? Yes,

been good to you, and you raise your hands, and

then saying says, what are you doing raising your hands?

He might even bring up with water boy, yesterday, we're

not talking about things, you know, past is yesterday. That's

a real close past. But he might even just bring

up something, Oh yeah, what was that you said to

your wife? And how you said that? And you're here

worshiping the Lord. I know that's some other church where

those people go. There's a saying that you never judge

a book by its cover. In other words, you don't

know what is on the inside. There are times the

outside speaks very loudly, but many times it hides what

is going on on the inside of a person, since

you see now doesn't really reflect what one may have

been in the past, nor even what they are in

the present. I look pretty good, don't I got a

nice suit on today, Thank the Lord. The pastor don't

believe in ties? Ties? Yes?

Ties no?

Just so we got clear on that there's two different things, yes,

ties no, ties a lot, so I tried to escape

as much as I possibly can. I told Dennis and Lina,

I said, do that Does he wear tie?

No?

I don't know, Linda said I didn't. I didn't even

remember the last time I saw him at a tie.

And I said, well, if he's got one on today,

he's gonna have to take it off because I'm coming

without one. Yeah, I've found out it does not help

me preach, and it's not a part of salvation. And

there's nothing wrong with wearing one, you know, every now

and then it can be done. How many love of

the Lord today? So several years ago I was teaching

on the dangers of the Internet in a foreign country.

My wife and I we've been in what we call missions,

which would be outside the US, almost thirty seven years.

And so in my forty seven years preaching, forty seven

years of preaching, I started at ten. Come on, not really,

So at forty seven years of preaching, I have preached

more in Spanish than I have in English. It's amazing, huh.

I don't know if I do good in English. I

don't know how well I do in Spanish. But at

least I can do it in two languages, be bad

in both. So I was teaching on the dangers of

the Internet to a group of national leaders of several

countries in South America. It was and we're talking the

top leaders of these countries. And after I had taught this,

a man came to me, a national leader, and he said,

I need you to pray for me. He said, because

I'm struggling and you know what internet can do. So

I'll just tell you. You know, I'm struggling with pornography,

a preacher, a pastor of a church, and beyond that,

a national leader of an organized group in a country.

I need you to pray for me. So he opened

the door to a skeleton that was there, and he

asked me to pray with him and for him. He

looked good, he talked well, So I said. He was

elected official. So he had impressed people enough with his

leadership capabilities that they would be willing to have him

as their leader. But he was wrestling and being torn

apart because the good that he should do he didn't

do it, and the bad that he should not do

that was what he did. And so this is a

struggle that many in this place today live with, not

necessarily pointing finger about pornography, but something that you want

to overcome and you feel the need to overcome, and

you know you got to overcome it with the help

of God. And yet you rise and you fall, and

you rise and you fall.

Jesus is not accusing you.

You've been forgiven, but Satan comes and he accuses you

again and again and again and again.

So the question I had is for this man, is what's.

It going to be like when he has victory over

what tries to defeat him on a daily basis. The

bones they rattle. When you think you got it made,

then you hear the bones rattling. There's a skeleton in

the closet.

Nobody here, No, that's that other church too. Now we

were here. The bones are rattling.

So we look pretty good today. Look around, y'all look

pretty good today. I don't know about Chase, but he

looks good too. Oh, there's the one I'm not sure about.

See what's your name? I can't remember. Amy's has been

a oh yeah, a bumper. But are there bones rattling somewhere? Said?

Where are you going with this?

Stay with me? I got a story to tell. Are

their bones rattling somewhere? What's keeping you from becoming all

you can be in Jesus Christ today is to continue

to pound on you and beat you with the past,

and you feel day. There's days you have victory and

you're rejoicing and you're thinking about the blood of Jesus

and what it's done for you, and then here comes

the devil again, and it maybe even in the form

of a member of the church. You never know, and

you can't just But what are you going to be

when you can finally get those bones out of that

closet and you seal it up and he can never

be found there again. One Corinth, then is nine twenty

five says in every man that striveth for the mastery,

it's tempered in all things. Now they do it to

obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. Paul said,

I therefore, so run, not as uncertainly so fight. I

not is one that beateth the air, but I keep

under my body and bring it into subjection. Least that

by any means, when I have preached to others, I

myself should become a castaway. Paul said that he fights

so that we can understand that there is a Bible,

a battle things. Thank God, how many is thankful for

the Blood of Jesus Christ. You know what the blood

does for you. Thank God for the Holy Ghost. Just

can in and we'll do for you. Thank God for

the power that's in the name of Jesus. Thank God

for fellowship with the people of God. I got to

be the most blessed person in the whole wide world.

What is there? Close to nine billion people? So I'm

pretty blessed. But you see, that's not what I've always been.

We all have a past, some just have more past

than others. I was raised in the home of a

Pentecostal home missions pastor your pastor's considered. They call them

North American missions now, but home missions. Someone that goes

to a place like here and raises Upper Church from nothing,

that's what he is. I was raising a home of that.

I saw untold number of miracles.

As a kid, I saw the dead raised.

Yep, it happened.

An unusual thing that happened, and kind of comical.

Was in a service one time there was a woman

that we had that she did not play the piano,

but she banged on it quite well. We all were

have to recite the scripture of make a joy for

on noising to the Lord because it was really hard

to hear anything good coming out of that, and we sang.

As a kid, I thought this is crazy. And she

had a tooth that was absessed. She did have one

missing her too, but it was absessed and it was

very painful. And she is up there not banging as

good as normal because of the pain, and so we

prayed for her. I didn't. I was a kid. I

watched all the adults do that. That was their job.

I'm just a kid. We prayed for her, and so

the Lord. You know what he did. He didn't fill

her tooth with gold, that's not his material for teeth.

He gave her a brand new tooth.

You said, Nah, Hey, I was a kid.

I saw it and looking in her mouth, friend, I

was hoping to see good teeth. I can't believe I

said that. But any that's a long time ago. She's

going on to be with Jesus by now with a

good tooth. Oh help me stay on track here, Lord.

So I saw a lot of wonderful things as a kid.

I was healed far as I know. My appendix had burst.

They were rushing me to the hospital. We got to

the hospital, all the saints for praying got to the hospital.

They began to examine me. The paint had subsided. Next

thing you know, I was all well. Never had an operation, nothing,

never had another problem with it. Ever, that was a

personal healing for me. And then today he mentioned I'm

what they call a regional director with the United Pentecost

Church Global Missions, and we served twenty three years in

Costa Rica. We saw great revival. There, many miracles of

all kinds of things that happened in that place. Deliverance

protection incredible. And then and twenty twelve we began this

job as regional director over Central America, Mexicol, the Caribbean,

and three countries in South America. And for one time

they didn't think I had enough work, and so they

give me South America for three years. Thank god, we

don't have that anymore. But they didn't. They saw this,

they saw this, and I think it was two thousand

and fourteen.

Let me look, I got I got it right here.

Yes, we had this new job. So you know, you

want to get global entry. How many has you ever

heard of global entry? How many has global entry? Don't

raise your hand? You know how that hurts?

Yeah, So we applied for global entry.

You no. I was all excited and waiting for the

notice about it, and Yonder got hers and said she's

got global entry. And it was wonderful. And I kept waiting,

wonder why mine's taking us along? And I was kind

of bragging a little bit about the fact that you know,

I'll be getting Global Entry.

And then I got to notice.

We regret to inform you that your membership in Global

Entry has been disapproved for the following reason or reasons.

You have been convicted and or arrested for a criminal offense.

Arrested on June the thirteenth, And I might add that

was a Friday, bad luck, nineteen seventy five, and Gay'm

in Oklahoma four and I'm not going to tell you

possession of controlled substance and convicted. It wasn't medical. I

was sure as medical. I thought we were just case

centers and was involved in medical marijuana research before it

ever became medical. No, it wasn't medical. I've tried to

make it medical ever since then. It's still not.

Yeah.

We had gone to Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, friends of mine,

we lived in Oklahoma as you can see, and went

there and and uh we bought a pound America medical marijuana,

and we took it back to Guymon and so we

had I don't even know if they call them joints anymore.

I don't know what they call them, but anyway, yeah,

you know, so we had rolled. We didn't take the

whole pound. Think the Lord. We lost it back then,

that would have been a tragedy. The Lord knew what

he was doing. Okay, so we going, we get We're

riding around in a van and it was a smoky

haze inside that van, and man, we were having a time,

and the next thing, you know that there was somebody

trying to get our attension with these lights. So, oh no,

what are we gonna do now? So I wore cowboy

boots all the time back then, so I put it

down him thirteen joints down in my cowboy boot. So

we're out that I was there three or four of us.

I guess you to kind of forget.

Some things back. So this policeman he's starting to search

everybody and going down the line, and you know, I

kind of stay to the last and they're letting me

be to the last. And so next thing he gets

to me and he's searching me, you know, and everything,

and he says, uh, take off your boots. It's gonna

be fun. So I only had him in one, so

that was good. So I pulled off the first one

and nothing, and so take off the other one. So

I listened game, I said, are you ready? What else

are you gonna do?

I pulled off that boot. Yeaht there they rolled out there.

So guess what Global Entry knew about that. It's amazing

you can do whatever you want to in marijuana. Now

you know it is medical and you can smoke it,

and it's legal in most places and everything. But back

then and I could probably get an exponged from my

record take a little bit to do that. But that

day I got that, I thought that I was being

denied because I had been in Cuba, and you're not

supposed to go to Cuba, not supposed to get your

passport stamped in Cuba, and I thought maybe that's why

they were denying my Global Entry. And so.

There it was.

Skeleton. I thought it was gone. I thought I had

applied for other things. You know that they do a

background check, and it never showed up. Nothing ever bought

guns and never showed up. There was and it was rattling.

So then that kind of brings to what had happened

in a short period of time when I was a teenager.

He's in church, good family. Sad to say, there was

no youth group where we went. We left Odessa and

it was fun and there was a lot of great times.

Went to Gayman, Oklahoma, and there was nobody. I'm not

blaming it on anything but myself. It was my choice.

Linda asked this, should you start running with the wrong crowd.

I said, there wasn't any other crowd, So yeah, starts

smoking marijuana. Next thing you know, they had other stuff.

There were speed uppers, downers, heroin LSD, which I did

not like. Messed your head up. All of these things

ended up getting busted again. The good thing is I

wasn't the driver and I didn't have any on me,

So yeah, they took us into the jail. We'd just

gone out in Harvard. We had a crop growing and

went out in harvested. Boy, it was a beautiful plant.

Sorry if I'm talking, this is the way it was.

That's how I looked at it. That was nineteen seventy five.

This was two thy and fourteen. I'd been called to preach,

pastored two churches.

Been called to be a missionary, been in a foreign

country for twenty three years, and traveled to many other

countries preaching the Gobo. What are your skeletons? When I

read that, it is like a knife being put into

me and twisted. Denied. If I'm not mistaken. There might

have been some people at our house, and seems like

there was. And I don't believe I revealed that all

to them. But you know what, go ask Jesus about that.

What do you got on the record there? Lord? What

can you pull up? You know, David Schwartz, Lord, Yeah,

what you got on him? It's blood bought. He's been forgiven,

and I don't think he tells anybody he's been forgiven

and forgiven and forgiven and forgiven. But that's the case

of most of us. There's nothing there. You don't see

anything for nineteventy five on Friday the thirteenth. Nope, because

I've been balked by the blood of Jesus Christ. He

paid a price for me, and because he was willing

to pay that price, Brother done. I've been able to

go to many places. I've preached in many countries. I

was fortunate enough in one occasion each two a comforts

of I don't know. I said maybe eighteen twenty thousand people,

you know. The one that Friday the thirteenth, nineteen seventy

five didn't go too well. But the Lord didn't look

at that. He chose not to think about that. I've

washed that away, and I'm not gonna bring that up

again because that's hidden, it's totally washed away. And so

there's some of you here today and you're struggling with

things in your life, and you think everything's going well,

and then something sticks up its ugly head and it

tells you you're not what you think you are, and

Satan points an accusing finger. Now I have to admit that,

after all these years, I have got to stay good

with God, because if I don't, if I'm not careful,

here comes the devil. Yeah. I'm not an angel like

my wife. Don't know that I've ever been the most

contamination that she's ever had. When she married me, I

tell everybody she fell in love with me. When I

got to Arkansas, my dad called me. He said, David,

do you want to come to Arkansas? He was there

with her dad brother Not grass sure. I'd already been

busted twice. I needed to do something. I need to

go somewhere else, find some different places. Went to Arkansas

real quick, got tied in with a guy working for

a guy, and he paid me about five dollars an

hour and all we could drink.

So everything just started moving right along.

But my mom never quit praying. I'm sure my dad did,

but I know my mom did. There was back in

their house. Got to Arkansas, Yonder fell in level with me.

At first sight. My eyes were set back in my

head from all the drugs, not just marijuana, a lot

of drugs. I weighed about one hundred and twenty pounds,

baby skinning bones, looked real bad. I thought I looked

real good, had long, beautiful blonde hair. Those country folks

in Arkansas, they hadn't seen anything quite like that.

I tried to kill my future brother in law.

Got in the folks wagging with me, and I was

I don't know what I was doing. I don't know

if it's medical marijuana that I was doing or just drinking,

but anyway, it's a little intoxicare And went around the

curve on a bridge that didn't have a rail, and

I thought we was gonna go off. He thought he

was gonna go off. I had it under control. Yeah,

I know. He's lived for God a lot better since then,

so it was a good thing. You see how the

Lord works.

Yeah, God don't give up on us.

He don't quit. And when you got somebody praying for you.

It's like bloodhounds on your trail. Friend, You're not gonna

get away from it. You better hope you never can

shut it out because God has a plan and a

purpose for every person that's in this place. I had

a little bit of a struggle at times talking about this,

and to some crowns it was really more difficult. But hey,

I'm blood ball. I don't have any skeletons in my closet.

Now He's wash me. Why this snow? He's taking care

of everything, and you see so today, if you're here

and there's something in you and you're struggling with something,

well just come and give it to the Lord and

let him take care of it, because He's got a

place for you in his kingdom. Who knows you may

be the one he calls to a mission field somewhere. Yeah,

thirty seven years of our life we have given to missions,

have been in many places. We were just in Japan

a few jetlag hours ago. Ever dreamed that why would

anybody with my past be where I'm at today? Why

would anybody with my past be able to experience the

wonderful things that God has done for me and my

wife and my family. Why would anybody that done all

the stupid things that I did be where he's at today.

When we go through the airport and Yonda has her

global entry, and she's a little snobby. Every time she

goes through there. It seems like she always have to

tell me I'm going global entry. Oh duh.

I do my best to keep a good spirit brother down.

I really do. You can see it's coming out. She

goes through and it's not so bad anymore. But there

was times when the line would be long. I'd get

in that line and I just have to say, thank

God for the blood, thank God for the blood, thank

God for the blood that washes wide as snow. I

can never pay Hiback. I can never do enough. I

could never give enough. I could never love enough. I

could never reach out enough. I could never try to

help another one enough for what he's done for me.

I don't deserve any of this good and wonderful things

and all these miracles and different things I've been able

to see him be a part. I don't deserve any

of that. But he said, we'll show him. That's what

I came for. And such were some of you. But

you've been washed by the blood. Amen. Thank God, would

you stand. I don't know your history. Now you know

a little bit of mine. When I walked in today,

you all already knew that you saw, Yeah, I know exactly.

He was a drug guy. He's been busted a couple

of times. Yeah, you knew that from the beginning, just

by looking at me, didn't you. No, And see that's

looking around. We don't know what's there. We don't know

what you struggle with.

And there are some of you that come and you

sing and you.

Worship God's maybe play an instrument, participate in the church,

and you look good and you sound absolutely wonderful. But

we don't know that struggle, that turmoil that's down on

the inside that it just seems like you can't get

past it. I'm here to tell you, if you ever

asked him to forgive you guess what you're forgiving? Well,

what if I end up messing up the next day?

Ask him again? What about next week? Ask him again?

Don't quit, don't quit. Believe in him because.

He's the cod that paid the highest price ever so

that we could be saved. There's people here today that

he's got a call placed on your life to be

something in his Kingdom. Don't blow it away, don't throw

it away, step out and believe him for what he

has for you. And if someone looks at you as

you start moving that direction, saying what are you doing?

Why are you going that way? Just tell him, you know,

take it to the Lord. If you can find it

on his record book, then find She's not gonna find

it because he loves us and he washes it, and

he washes us, and he washes us today. So anybody

want to come pray? I don't know you, really, I

don't you want to come pray. I don't know what

you're struggling with today. But hey, God's here today. He

wants to deliver you. He wants to bring you deliverance

that you have not experienced. And this doesn't mean you're weak.

It doesn't mean that you're a dirty, rotten sinner. No, no, no,

it just means you understand. I've got to trust God.

I've got to trust God. Where I'm at right now

is okay, but it's not where I need to be. God.

Here I am again for the one hundred and twenty

nine thousands time I'm at your altar leaving you. I'm

trusting you God, here. I am forgive me again. Lord,

Let that blood wash me again. Open the clauset, take

out the skeleton, destroy I don't want to hear the

rattling of the bones anymore. Jesus, I'm here, help me today.

What is your voice trying to tell me this very

day that we're in, this morning that we're in. I

want to be used of you, Lord. I want to

be a vessel that you can use. Thank you, Jesus.

Is there anybody else want to come pray? Maybe you

would want to just come and pray with some of

the people that are here this morning, who you want

to see God do a work as only he can do,

because he's the one that is able to do all things.

I love you, Jesus. I love you, Jesus. I love you, Jesus.

I'm weak, but he's strong. I don't have the answer,

but he is the answer. Oh Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, mold

us and make us today what you want us to be. Lord.

Let us be the vessel that you want us to

be today, Jesus, because you're coming as soon. You're coming,

as soon, You're coming. He soon, you're coming as soon.

I praise you Jesus, because you never fail. You don't

ever fail, Lord, you don't ever fail your words.

hope you were blessed in some way by the message.
