-
And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking
-
in the garden in the cool of the day. And
-
Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of
-
the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. And
-
the Lord called unto Adam and said, unto him, where
-
art thou?
-
And he said, learned thy voice in the garden. And
-
I was afraid.
-
Because I was naked, and I hid myself. Amen, and
-
I hid myself. Would you ask God to help us
-
here tonight?
-
Lord, we thank you so much for your goodness and
-
your mercy. Lord.
-
I thank you, Lord for all that you've done for us.
-
God for your help to us. God, I thank you
-
Lord for how you've touched each and every heart.
-
I thank you for this service. God.
-
I thank you for this set of part time, Lord,
-
where you would deal with hearts and lives.
-
God, be asked that you would annoint me for just
-
a little while here tonight. God, in the name of Jesus,
-
let me speak as your oracle. God, touch your heart
-
and life, Let someone live different.
-
I pray, God, we know that you're evil. We believe
-
that you will. God, we know that you can.
-
We give you praise and honoring glory in Jesus wonderful name.
-
Amen and Amen.
-
The scene before us here tonight is a beautiful place.
-
Amen. The garden of Eden was a beautiful.
-
Place, hand crafted by God, just as the world is today.
-
It was beautiful. You thankful for the home that you
-
were raised up in. Amen.
-
There's a lot of us, young teeple, that should be
-
thankful for the home that we were raised up in.
-
Amen, in a godly home, a god fearing home. Amen.
-
Adam was raised up in a beautiful place.
-
Adam was raised up in a beautiful garden in the
-
eastern part of Eden.
-
Is what the Bible says. We call this the garden
-
of Eden.
-
Amen.
-
It was on the east part of Eden.
-
In this garden, the Lord caused every kind of pleasant
-
tree that you could imagine, every fruit tree that you
-
could think of, every good fruit that you like, every
-
good tree was planning there. A river flowed beautifully through
-
this garden. A river flowed through the garden to provide
-
plenty of water and hydration for all the plants and
-
all the animal life.
-
Amen.
-
All the plant life and all the animal life was
-
hydrated by this beautiful the river flowing through this beautiful garden.
-
Amen.
-
God created man in his own image, and he set
-
him in the minion over the fish, the birds, cattle,
-
and everything else that would roll the earth.
-
Amen.
-
God takes this man named Adam, and he places him.
-
In the beautiful garden of Eden.
-
During his tenure in this place, he names the animals.
-
He enjoys the garden, and he also received a wife.
-
In time, the.
-
Woman is convinced by Satan to eat of the tree
-
that God specifically told them not to Amen.
-
The only tree that.
-
God told them not to How tempting is the only
-
thing that you're not supposed to do.
-
Amen.
-
Growing up, whenever mom said don't touch that. You can
-
touch all this, but don't touch that. What do you
-
want to touch? You want to touch that?
-
Amen, that's the nature of mankind. It's the nature of mankind. Amen.
-
He had one tree that they were not supposed to touch,
-
one tree.
-
That they weren't supposed to partake of.
-
God specifically instructed them.
-
Not to eat of the tree, which we all know
-
the story.
-
After she gave after she ate, the Bible says she
-
took it to her husband.
-
Amen.
-
He took it to Adam and he ate.
-
The Bible tells us that at that moment his eyes
-
were open.
-
Amen, he was enlightened. He saw things differently than he
-
usually seen them.
-
Amen.
-
And I've seen Satan offer people fruit. I've seen the
-
devil offer people things that they know they're not supposed
-
to partake of, and when they partake of them.
-
Their eyes are open, they have an epiphany. Amen. I've
-
never seen it this way. Amen. Ain't just seen some
-
people like that? Amen.
-
Ain't just seen some people that said the old time way?
-
He ain't what it takes anymore. I've had an enlightenment, Amen.
-
I took up this thing, and I've took on it.
-
And I've made of it. And now I'm enlightened.
-
And now I see things differently then I used to
-
see them. Adam and Eve saw things differently then they
-
used to see them.
-
They didn't know the shape that they were in. They
-
didn't know how.
-
They lived their day to day life. They didn't know
-
that they were naked.
-
Amen.
-
They were so innocent and so good that they have
-
no idea that they were naked. Amen, that this fruit
-
that offered them, that was so good to look at,
-
this thing that looked so pleasant to the eyes, stole
-
their innocence. That thing that looked so fun and so nGy.
-
They're not such a good time. It'll steal your innocence.
-
It'll lead you standing in the middle of the garden
-
saying what have I done.
-
It'll lead you standing in.
-
The middle of a beautiful place saying what have I done?
-
I see things differently now, Amen. You cannot bite off
-
on everything that's offered to you.
-
God told Eve God to eat of that fruit.
-
God told Adam everything else you can have with that
-
one fruit.
-
Stay away. From it. Amen. People bite off on any.
-
And everything that's offered to them, and what happens. They
-
find theirself in this shape. They find themselves not thinking
-
like they used to thought, used to think. Excuse me, sorry, Mom,
-
I know English. Adam and Eves were opened. Oh I
-
see it now, I see it differently.
-
Now.
-
The devil will offer you things that look good on
-
the outside. He'll offer you things that looks so pleasant
-
to the eye. But when you take a bite, whenever
-
you take that bike.
-
It's tattered to your soul. Am'am.
-
The tree looked so good for fruit. It made a
-
lot of sense to eat of that fruit. Amen, it
-
made perfect sense. It's a beautiful fruit. It's probably perfectly formed.
-
It was in the garden of eating, after all, perfectly formed.
-
The peel on it, or the skin on it, or
-
whatever you want to call it, was perfectly presented to Eve.
-
It looks so good. People will tell you things that
-
sound so good. But whenever Eve took a hold of it,
-
destroyed destroyed her.
-
And whenever she.
-
Was destroyed, what did she do? She shared and she
-
destroyed others.
-
Amaen, ain't that like that? You ain't that like some you've.
-
Heard they ain't content with themselves being deceived.
-
They want to take others down with her. Amen, even
-
wanted to take Adam down with her. Adam, look what
-
I've done.
-
Try this, my my ma.
-
I've heard and I've seen too many young people be.
-
Enlightened and have their eyes open, so to speak, because
-
they were off or tainted fruit.
-
Amen. I'm laying a foundation here tonight. We're gonna get somewhere,
-
Lord of helpless. Amen.
-
After Adam and Eve ain't the fruit and their eyes
-
were opened, God came in the cool of the day,
-
and he began to look, and he began to speak,
-
and he came down to the garden of eating this
-
beautiful creation that I told you about, all the beautiful trees,
-
and God came.
-
Down to commune with his creation.
-
Amen.
-
God came down to commune with him.
-
He came down to walk in the cool of the
-
day and to look at all the trees that he
-
had created. Amen, all the trees and all the beautiful animals.
-
That there was no animosity between.
-
A man.
-
There was no hate back then. Amen.
-
But the issue is when God came down to commune
-
with Adam, what does he do He finds himself hiding.
-
Why is he hiding? Why is he hiding? Why did
-
Adam and Eve run to hide condemnation? Because even though
-
their eyes were opened, they were condemned. Amen, what they
-
thought they enjoyed. Whenever the concept on the scene, they knew,
-
they knew that they had messed up, and they hide,
-
They hid them us from God because that is the
-
nature of man time, that's the nature of me, and
-
that's the nature of.
-
You and you and you and you to hide. Whenever
-
we do wrong, we try to hide it. Whenever we
-
do wrong, we try to cover it up.
-
Amen.
-
I know I'm not preaching nothing new to you, but
-
this is the warding of my heart. And this is
-
what God laid on my heart for this people tonight,
-
for this group of young people. Amen, our nature is
-
to hide and cover it up instead of confessing and
-
receiving forgiveness. It's that easy.
-
It's that easy, sincere repentance, sincere confession. Come, I'm sorry,
-
I shouldn't have done it, and with your health, I'm never.
-
Do it again.
-
Sincere confession and repentance is all it takes to release condemnation. AmAm,
-
I wondered tonight, what would have happened if whenever Adam
-
took a bite and he opened his eyes and everything
-
around him looked different. If he would have fell on
-
his knees right and called out for God, I said,
-
Oh God, what have I done?
-
I fault you? Why did the one.
-
Thing that I must not the post to do?
-
What would have happened if he would have fell on
-
his knees and cried out for forgiveness?
-
Amen? What would have happened.
-
If Adam would have went looking for God instead of
-
God coming looking for Adam?
-
Amen?
-
What if you find an altar to pray? Ain't go
-
looking for God? What if you find place they'm go
-
looking for God? Won't he needs you there? Won't he
-
meets you in that place that you feel like you
-
can't help no more?
-
James said in his writing to the Early Church. Then
-
mercy rejoices against judgment. If God was the.
-
Same yesterday, today, and forever, like he said in Alaka
-
three or six, then if he's merciful today, and we
-
believe that he's merciful to all of these young folks
-
here today, then.
-
He must have been merciful back then.
-
If he's merciful right now, then he must have been
-
merciful in the garden of.
-
Eden whenever Adam mess up.
-
But instead of confessing, I've already said, he hines, perhaps
-
Adam could have found forgiveness. Perhaps God would have forgiven Adam.
-
They said, you know, you shouldn't have done that. I'm
-
sure he would have faced.
-
Some kind of consequences for his actions, because he is
-
a just God.
-
Amen. Consequences for our actions are a good thing. Amen.
-
Correction when we do wrong, he's a good thing. Amen.
-
A child lived to himself brings a mother to shame.
-
Amen. A Christian by yourself, you bring God to shame,
-
you bring yourself to shame.
-
Amen. You can't do this alone.
-
Instead of confessing, our nature is to hide and conceal.
-
But to be saved, we must confess.
-
The presence of the Lord walking in the garden that
-
day must have scared Adam to death.
-
No doubt he knew his time was coming. Amen, I'm
-
sure he knew. Oh.
-
Some commentators believe that this was a regular occurrence, God
-
walking in the cool of the day.
-
I searched the scriptures and on he found it this once.
-
So believe what you want. But nevertheless, the presence of
-
God walking in the corner of the day.
-
That day in the garden, must have scared at him.
-
Amen, he ran to head. Why was Adam nervous, scared
-
and hiding? Why was Adam fearing God's not?
-
God is to have a fear, But you should never
-
fear God coming into your space. You should never fear
-
God being close by to you. Amen, animal was scared,
-
he was nervous, and he was hiding. What causes us
-
to drift backwards? What causes us to drift toward the shadows?
-
What causes us to take the step back instead of
-
the step forward?
-
When the Holy Ghost begins to walk in the service.
-
Whenever the Lord begins to walk up and down our
-
ears and he walks in between the pews, what causes
-
us to get nervous? What causes us to drift back?
-
The Bible said, old, no go on?
-
What is it?
-
No pleasure in them? They drawn back? Amaen, Adam drew back.
-
He drew back into some trees. When God begins to
-
speak in the garden that you're living in, in this
-
beautiful Sainctu area that's your living in, what what?
-
What would what would cause you to be distant? And
-
I know I told you.
-
I'm preaching to a bunch of of my favorite people
-
here tonight. That's why I'm preaching to you, Amen. That's
-
why I'm preaching to you because you're my favorite people, Amen,
-
And I want you to go to Heaven with me.
-
And I know I'm not preaching to everybody, So don't
-
everybody feel condemned like Adam did.
-
Amen.
-
But if the shoe fits where it.
-
When God begins to move among you, is there something
-
in your life that would cause the communication between you
-
and the Lord to be strained?
-
Amen? When you find yourself in.
-
That place or prayer, I know there's time whenever we
-
pray and.
-
We feel like the ceiling is.
-
Man.
-
We pray and we praying, we pray and we feel
-
like we.
-
Can't get God anywhere.
-
So I'm not talking about those situations whenever you know
-
that you're living holy and you know you're living righteous
-
and you just feel like God's testing you to see
-
if you'll persevere and be faithful. But I'm not talking
-
about those times.
-
But I'm talking about.
-
Those times when you know there's something that's hindering your prayers.
-
Then you know that there's.
-
Something that calls there to be a distance that calls
-
is there to be a disconnect between you and God?
-
Amen?
-
Adam felt this disconnect.
-
Adam felt this disconnect whenever God came close by, whenever
-
God began to begin to begin to walk up and
-
down where.
-
They're at, they felt this disconnect.
-
It is amazing to me that after Adam and Eve,
-
seeing that their reaction was behind.
-
My the reaction should have been quite the opposite. Amenha,
-
I believe.
-
That Adam felt disconnected because of disobedience.
-
Amen, you'll believe obedience is important.
-
Adam's conscience, who's eating in him? Adam's goodwill was eating
-
at him when he knew that he had done what
-
he should not do. Amen, Don't it hurt you whenever
-
you do something against your parents and and you know
-
they don't deserve that. Don't it hurt you whenever you
-
do something against God and you say a cross word
-
and you know that you shouldn't have said that, and
-
you walk away and you say.
-
Why did I say that? Why did I act that way?
-
That's your conscience, that's your conscience dealing with you and
-
saying you shouldn't act like that, You shouldn't talk like him,
-
You shouldn't talk to your mother like that.
-
You shouldn't talk to your daddy like that. You shouldn't
-
treat your sibling like that.
-
You shouldn't treat your brother and sister at Christ like that.
-
That's your consciousness, That's what God gave you.
-
That's what God gave you, that little voice inside to
-
keep you in the right direction, to.
-
Keep you walking in the right direction. Why would it
-
Why would you suffer the torment of your sin finding
-
you out right?
-
Why would you go through that week after week, week
-
after week, just dreading when God would come down in
-
the garden?
-
Why would you go day after.
-
Day, service after service, message after message, prayer after.
-
Prayer, dreading with yours him? It's tail now. I don't
-
know how long it was. I don't know when they
-
ateh of this fruit.
-
I don't know if it was early in the morning,
-
where if it was close to the.
-
Cool of the day.
-
But I really believe that Adam was dreading that time
-
that God would come down.
-
And that God would be looking through the trees.
-
Adam, Eve, where are you?
-
Where are you?
-
I know you're in the garden. I know you're in
-
the garden. I know you're in the church.
-
What was that Sunday School lesson. You're in the building,
-
but you're Are you in the body? Wasn't it?
-
Am? I am?
-
I crazy?
-
That was the adult class, so I didn't hear that.
-
I know you're in the garden at him. I know
-
you're in that beautiful congregation.
-
I know you're in the church house.
-
But where are you at?
-
Because I'm in.
-
The church house and I can't find you with the worsipers.
-
I'm in the church house and I can't find you
-
at the altar.
-
I'm in the.
-
Church house and I'm looking for you, and in searching
-
for you, and I'm calling for you, but I can't
-
find you.
-
Why are you hiding? I love you, I've created you
-
in my whole limas.
-
Why are you hiding? For deed?
-
I've never done you, nothing be done to try that
-
you hide. I gave you every tree you could possibly
-
never want, every desire that you're gonna possibly need, And
-
you're hiding from me? What have I ever done to
-
you to make you to hide from me?
-
To cause you to draw back?
-
God's been nothing but good, Hadney.
-
God's been nothing but good Hapney. Did he save you?
-
Did he die across for you?
-
Did he carry your sins up to the tree. He
-
had done nothing but good for Adam and Eve. He
-
had done nothing but everything they needed. He gave Audham
-
the most beautiful wife you ever seen in your life.
-
He gave eat him the most handsome husband that you
-
have a seen in your dreams.
-
He gave him every piece of fruit.
-
He gave him a back of the hall that would
-
make King David jealous. He gave him a spread that
-
the most royal of kings in Bible times and modern
-
history would be jealous. God, why would you hide from me?
-
I mean nothing but good. I've done nothing but good
-
things for you. I've done nothing at home I have
-
now when you are filthy, I don't nothing about hole
-
my hand out. When you were in the door of
-
this world, I've done nothing about. Offer you mercy, offer
-
you happiness, offer you salvation, and you deserve hell.
-
I did nothing to climb up on a tree for you.
-
Shut my, what do you have to hide from condemnation?
-
That little voice in there talking to you?
-
I read of a young boy. They had quite the
-
opposite experience as as Adam did. Whenever he heard the
-
voice of God. Yeah, you a wom speaking of a
-
young boy, Samuel.
-
God came talking to Adam, and what he do? Where's
-
the nearest tree?
-
Adam?
-
God created that tree, He formed it. He spoke the word,
-
excuse me, sorry, He spoked the word and it was worn.
-
You think he can't see through that tree that he created.
-
Lot, are the trees gonna hide you from them? Trees
-
don't offer you no protection? Drawing back, don't offer you
-
no protection. Amen.
-
The Bible says, be sure your sins will find you?
-
How will find you? Out that, ma'am, I told you.
-
I read about a young boy, a young youth.
-
Amen, that hurt. The call of God for Samuel three
-
course number one through.
-
Tens of Calling's a mighty calling of the young lad Samuel.
-
Samuel had quite a different response to the voice of God. Hey, ma'am,
-
I don't know if God was there or if he
-
just sent his voice or he just spoke from heaven
-
down to Samuel.
-
The Bible says that.
-
Adam heard the voice of God walking. Adam heard the
-
voice of God walking in the cool of the day.
-
So I don't know if God came down to the
-
door where Samuel was at or wherever he.
-
Was staying, but he came and calling Samuel. Amen.
-
Samuel didn't hide or get frightened by the news.
-
Samuel didn't hide or draw back or get scared when
-
God can't call it him. What's the difference here? How
-
can one man get scared, nervous and hide and one
-
man jump up and run in there to Eli and
-
say you called me. Samuel wasn't hiding from the man
-
of God. Samuel wasn't hiding from the voice of God.
-
I wonder how someone here and tonight would like to
-
leave this place with the new love and a new
-
appreciation for when God comes looking for you, for a
-
new love where you don't feel condemnation. Whenever God comes calling,
-
it comes knocking on your heart.
-
You know he'll come. There's a scripture that said, behold,
-
I stand at the door, and I knock you hear
-
my voice. You let me in, and He'll knock on
-
your door. He has knocked on your door. In prayer,
-
I was reminded of this of the Disciple through Jesus love.
-
In John chapter number thirteen of verse twenty three the Bible.
-
He's now there was leaning on.
-
Jesus's one of his disciples who he loved. This disciple
-
wasn't nervous to be right there, to be right up
-
close to where God's at. He wasn't condemned.
-
In his heart. You think Judas, who's making right there.
-
His passage I remember from my studies from reading it.
-
This passage I do believe is when Jesus handed out Jesus,
-
Judas wouldn't have been up there.
-
Judas would have felt too condemned in his heart. You've
-
heard that song walking with God at a guilty distance,
-
That's where Judas would have found himself.
-
That's not where this disciple found himself. He didn't find
-
him at arm's length. Aba.
-
He had no desire to be at arms length with
-
the Savior. For re knew the time was coming when
-
he would be, when he would ascend. Wouldn't you love
-
to have that kind of relationship with God? Wouldn't you
-
love to have no condemnation, just peace and happiness.
-
You know that's some they just don't get any better
-
than this. Maybe John talk man just don't get any
-
better than this. Aymen, it's not what you just thought.
-
Wouldn't you like to have that kind of relationship? Wouldn't
-
you like to have that kind of.
-
Communion with God? Just coming into his presence and rejoicing.
-
And just enjoying being close to it, just coming into
-
his house and enjoying in his present. Lifting up your hands,
-
lift it up, clean hands, a pure heart. Wouldn't you
-
enjoy that? Ain't that worth it? Ain't that a good
-
trade off for all that condemnation.
-
I'll tell you.
-
It is.
-
Tomorrow, February the first Amen. I didn't only get the Holy.
-
Egost February, the first I sold out February the first.
-
I'm coming up on my anniversary. No condemnation. I'm coming
-
up on my anniversary. Look, just peace and happiness. I
-
remember being in that place.
-
I remember very well. Let's go. Let me tell you.
-
Condemnation will zapp your happiness. Condemnation will sap your joy.
-
It's after peace that Greek condemnation caused Adam to the
-
hide of the trees.
-
From an all lobe, all seeing God.
-
Your cover won't hide it.
-
Your cover won't hide that condemnation. Because whenever you come
-
into a place where there is no condemnation, your condemnation.
-
Shines like a city that's set on a hill, shines.
-
Like a candle in a window seal, shining out.
-
To a dark world. That's what your condemnation does. Amen.
-
There's no hiding that feeling.
-
There's no hiding that emptiness inside. Adam felt condemned. Samuel
-
felt a direct connection. You could trade condemnation for a connection.
-
You could trade arms, Lincoln and lay on his bosom.
-
Right.
-
Samuel didn't know what it was like to feel that
-
this connection from God like Adam did. Do you think
-
Samuel had an opportunity to run away, neglect his duties
-
and neglect what he's supposed to do, what he knew
-
he would have been dedicated to do.
-
Sure he did.
-
He could have laid right there and said, get up,
-
old man, do it yourself right.
-
He could have neglected his duties.
-
Right.
-
Samuel had quite a different reaction, and he had quite a.
-
Different relationship with God. Brother Caleb, would you help us out?
-
Get to that brother with the somebody gives a song.
-
If you live a dedicated and committed life, you won't
-
find yourself standing at a guilty distance, scared to death
-
of when you're gonna get found out, Scared to death
-
of when what you did.
-
And what you've done God reveals to the men of good.
-
You could have that same communion and that same fellowship
-
with God. Like Samuel and John did ay Man.
-
Does countless other.
-
Times throughout the Bible where God would come looking.
-
And that God would come. Whether the Famuel spoke of
-
those appointments tonight, there's many a time, whatever God an
-
appointment with.
-
Someone, it's not worth living your life and condemnation, feeling.
-
Condemned every time you lay your head on your pillow,
-
every time.
-
You walk through the doors. It's not worth feeling that
-
heaviness on your heart.
-
You know that beautiful garden that we talked about Adam
-
and Eve dwelling in and in habiting. Did you know
-
that Adam got kicked out of that garden. Lord began
-
to deal with me, and I thought I might preach
-
one day on the.
-
Point of no return. I've heard the priests.
-
Many times, and I'm not sure I've ever heard that
-
text used.
-
Adam could never go back to that place.
-
Adam could never find himself in the garden again, looking
-
at the beautiful trees, at the foliage and the river
-
going through Why because it was guarded, believe it was
-
cherubs with fleming swords. Adam would never return. Don't find
-
yourself in that place tonight, friend, It's not worth it.
-
Adam and Eve lived in condom, and you know what
-
happened to their children.
-
One of them, God helped, one of them pulled through.
-
One of them did. Adam lost.
-
His ability to walk in the cool of the day
-
with God in the garden. I don't know if Adam repented.
-
I don't know if Eve repented.
-
I don't know if God restored that communication they had.
-
But they would never find themselves in the place that
-
they once were aging.
-
What a beautiful place it was, What a beautiful place
-
God created for them. Oh, how God blessed him. Look
-
around and see the blessings of God.
-
Where God put him. God placed at them there. God
-
placed at them.
-
In the garden.
-
Young people, your parents and God placed you in this place.
-
What a beautiful place it is. What would you do
-
with that opportunity? What would you do with your garden?
-
Isaiah six and eight.
-
Another man of God that heeded a call, that wasn't
-
afraid of the call of God.
-
That could be you. Another man that wasn't afraid of
-
God to commune with him, and he with God.
-
And wasn't fearful to speak the word of God. Isaiah
-
was a prophet among prophets.
-
God used Isaiah mightily, where we all stand here tonight?
-
I close him with his verse Isaiah six and eight said, also.
-
I heard the voice of the Lord say, it's Isaiah speaking.
-
Isaiah said, I heard God speaking. I heard the voice
-
of God. I heard the call of God. You've heard
-
the call of God. You've heard the voice of God.
-
What was God asking? What was God saying?
-
God said, who shall.
-
I say him?
-
Who will go for us? Will you go for us?
-
For them? Will you be sinn? Will you allow yourself
-
to live in that place.
-
Dedicated, consecrated to where you can hear the voice.
-
Of God, and not running high? Isaiah did when God
-
heard the voice of God. When Isaiah heard the.
-
Voice of God, he said, God, I'm right here. You
-
can look right where I'm at. God, I have nothing
-
of height, I have no condemnation. I'm right here of God.
-
Order.
-
If we got someone wants to come to the aultie
-
tonight and say, God.
-
I'm right here. You feel like coming, go ahead.
-
If you don't, I pray God, I'll help you if
-
you're the one that I preach to you tonight.
-
Any willing hearts say God, I'm right here.
-
Here in my Lord, send me God. I'm willing to go. God,
-
I'm willing to walk that path. That's your call for me.
-
Here am I?
-
Here?
-
Am I old Lord? Oh God? Here am I send me?
-
God's calling someone tonight. God has called someone tonight. Amay,
-
will you answer? Speak Lord from my servant here? Will
-
you find yourself tonight leaning on the bosom of God
-
in that place? Some sweet communion, no condemnation any man. Amen,
-
I approach to you, my heart.
-
I had a.
-
Completely different direction than I was gone, and God send
-
me down this path to find something to tell someone.
-
He's looking for you. He's looking for someone that's willing gonna.
-
Sell out, live.
-
A dedicated life, consecrated.
-
Yours me.
