  41. You get my ushers to come forward. We're gonna take up an offering

  42. for for these brethren that I believe have studied and prayed about this service.

  43. I really believe that, uh, that God has has spoken of their hearts.

  44. I trust, I trust that they have really sought God about it.

  45. I believe they have, or that they take it seriously. So let's let's

  46. let's bless them. Let let's let the Lord have his way. Whatever you

  47. feel like given. If God's given yourself that don't if God's spoke in the

  48. heart it gives something that don't fail to do it, because you'll just be

  49. hurting yourself. But I believe it. I believe it was improvb somewhere.

  50. Uh, he said Solomon. Solomon said, Uh, I believe it was

  51. Solomon and said, cast your bread upon the water, and after many days

  52. it will come back to you. And uh, this is a this is

  53. a one way you can cast your bread upon the water. I believe that.

  54. I really believe that you can give to God and that God will give

  55. back. I've seen it too many times. You can doubt it if you

  56. feel like it and you say, oh, he's just he's just saying something

  57. that he's heard all his life because he grew up in church. Yeah.

  58. I did grow up in church, and I have heard it all my life.

  59. Yeah, thank God, I have heard it all my life. But

  60. I've seen it to be true. I've seen the hand of God come down

  61. whenever whenever it looked like things we're not gonna work out, and I've seen

  62. God move because some people gave to God. I thank God for everything he

  63. does. I'm gonna hush right here. Let's let's go to the Lord in

  64. prayer, and let's let's pray over this offer and give what you feel in

  65. the heart. Dear God, be thank you for this night and this service

  88. that before. I mean, it also ain't over till Jesus says it's over.

  89. Y'all believe that. Amen. Y'all know there's there's a lot of people

  90. against Amen, what we're doing here tonight. There's a lot of people against

  91. the youth of this generation. Amen. They like to paint their lives out

  92. as to be us the fairy tale of a Disney Amen movement. Do you

  93. know they do? They act like we're the ones living a rough life.

  94. We're the ones deprived, Amen, We're the ones that are suffering and missing

  95. out. Amen. But I like what Amen's been said before. Yeah,

  96. I'm missing out on some things. I mean I'm missing out on a jail

  97. time stay. I mean I'm missing out on my dad having to pick me

  98. up in the middle of the night because he paid bonds. They've been picking

  99. me up from prison. There's a lot of things, Amen, we're missing

  100. out on and acts. Chopping number fourteen and verse number two, Amen talked

  101. about the unbelieving Jews that stirred up the Gentiles and made their minds evil affected

  102. against the brethren. Said Amen, And there's a lot of people will try

  103. to affect your mind with evil things. Amen. But we know, Amen,

  104. when it's all said and done, we're gonna be living on the right

  105. side and Amen of the law. Phrase God don't leave out. Amen.

  106. We're on the right side of the law. Amen. We're so thankful for

  107. the presence of the Lord tonight. Amen. If there does come a time

  108. in your life, Amen, some of the young people will know what I'm

  109. talking about, and some will yet to know. Amen. Where you've lived

  110. your whole life under your parents' rules. Amen. And then there'll come a

  111. time when there's a line drawn in the sand and we decide what am I

  112. gonna do? Amen, And that is one of the most important decisions of

  113. our life. Amen. The Bible talked about Joshua, and I believe also

  114. Moses drew a line in the sins that choose you this day whom you'll serve.

  115. In that same passage, they're Acts fourteen that said some were with Apostle

  116. Paul and some were against them. Amen. But I know tonight we've got

  117. a lot of church. Amen, church people here. I believe we're more

  118. than church people, more than religious people. I mean, I believe we're

  119. children of God. Thank you, musicians. Amen. So we're children of

  120. God, then we should be people that are amen hearers and doers. Amen.

  121. We should be people without have an ear to hear what the Spirit would

  122. say to the church tonight. Amen. So we would expect us to give

  123. our undivided attention. Amen to these ministers, Amen, tonight for the Josh,

  124. if you'd get ready. Amen. We want the Lord to have his

  125. way. Amen. We want them to preach whatever's on their heart. Amen.

  126. We're not in a hurry tonight. Amen. We do this once a

  127. month, Amen, and praise God. We're spending our fridays a lot of

  128. other ways, and men, a lot of us stay out a little later

  129. than we normally do. Amen. So why to becut God short? Amen,

  130. Let's not cut Gods shot. Come on, brother Josh, Amen,

  131. preach to us. We miss our pastor. Amen, a pastor's wife,

  132. and all those are out. Amen, Let's get it and have church.

  133. Amen. First of all, I want to think m HM Songs one verse

  134. one. Unless it is the man that walketh not in the council of the

  135. ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat

  136. of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

  137. and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And this scripture was

  138. on my heart earlier today I had wrote something else down, and while we

  139. were out advertising for pastor, this scripture came to mind, and I was

  140. like, I remember measuring memorizing that for Sunday school. And the Lord spoke

  141. to me this. We are not to walk with the ungoling, more sick

  142. with them, because a good man's ways are corrupted. If we but we

  143. hang around with the wrong crowd, we ain't gonna be what we were.

  144. Their sinner can corrupt us. We are to hang out with our people,

  145. we can minister to the ungoing. We are not to hang out with him

  146. all the time. We are not to play games with the devil. Our

  147. delays is supposed to be in the law of the Lord. We are supposed

  148. to meditate with him tam in night his laws. We are not a supposed

  149. to be out there all the time, hanging out with the sinners party and

  150. doing anything and everything. We are supposed to be in the house of the

  151. Lord at his appointed time that he wants us to worship. We are not

  152. as supposed to be going out there and doing anything. We are supposed to

  153. be coming into the house of the Lord. We're supposed to meditate day and

  154. night with his laws. I remember when I didn't do anything for the Lord,

  155. but he changed me. When I memorize this, I was not right

  156. with the Wold. But yet a few months later the Lord will use this.

  157. And I was thinking today that when we're out side of these four walls,

  158. we're we're not in here. We're not out there doing partying. We're

  159. not out there. Ye when we're out there, we're doing the same thing

  160. that we're in here. We're meditating on God. If we're out there doing

  161. not doing what the devil wants us to do, but kind here and a

  162. spiritual we ain't spiritual, we ain't godly. We do not have the Lord

  163. with us. We are hypocrites. Come on, I'm not when I used

  164. to do. I have spiritual in church, but i'd be a hypocrite out

  165. there day and night. Now I think about the Lord. I dream about

  166. the Lord. But back then I get it now. I do not walk

  167. with the ungodling, nor stay with them, nor sit with the scornful.

  168. I used to, but I don't now. The last verse. I had

  169. this verse on my heart too, the last verson Chapter one. For the

  170. Lord know it the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodling

  171. shall perish. That first stoke deep with me. When I was a sinner,

  172. I got to thinking about that verse, what that verse meant. I

  173. was gonna perish. I had no way to go to heaven but through Jesus.

  174. Everybody y'all said. I wasn't a Christian to anybody and everybody, But

  175. yet I was on my way to a devila's hell. I wasn't right with

  176. the Lord. I was doing a devil's bidding. I wasn't gonna do anything

  177. for the Lord. But in church I would act like it. And then

  178. I got to thinking about these last words today, these last six words,

  179. what yah last seven the way of the ungodly? Shall perish. My way

  180. was gonna perish. There is nothing my way any turning. It is God's

  181. way. It is heaven or Hell. I was going to hell. My

  182. way was parashute. And I'm glad I found the way, the one way

  183. to the pearly gates, the one way. There was no way I was

  184. going to heaven without the Lord, and now might alight. Might a like

  185. was not in the law of the Lord, but now it is. I

  186. am glad that I can meditate day and night on him. Then I couldn't.

  187. Then I wouldn't, but now I can, and now what I will,

  188. And I just thank the Lord for everything he's done. Hens retward the

  189. hand Lord Heaven. To thank God. It means what us messages by the

  190. song stay come on, I mean, while they're praying, ask God to

  191. help the I'm gonna say, it's truly a privilege to stand behind the sacred

  192. desk. And I want to think Pastor Holmberg Nathaniel for allowing me the opportunity

  193. to do this. I want to say, I thank the Lord for saving

  194. me, seem to find me and killing me with the Holy Ghost. Because

  195. indeed, if you're not right with God, you will go to Hell.

  196. It is a hard place, so you shouldn't be pulling around with it.

  197. I was in prayer, probably about a people before I was asked to preach,

  198. and I had this thought come in my mind, the appearance of holiness

  199. and our main scriptures in Leviticus twenty and seven. And I know some people

  200. are don't think I'm talking about the outward appearance. Although the outward adherance does

  201. matter, it does show what's on the inside. I'm not just targeting the

  202. outward. Leviticus twenty and seven says sanctify yourselves therefore and be holy, for

  203. I am the Lord your God. That scripture is a commandment from God telling

  204. us to be holy. So we are supposed to be holy, although we

  205. won't be holy all the time. We can't be perfect. We can strive,

  206. but we won't be perfect. We see that in Levigus twenty and seven.

  207. It's a command by God to be holy. And you can either be

  208. holy or go to Hell, because if you're not falling God's commandments, that's

  209. that's a place God has set for you. I also have Romans two and

  210. two. I believe it says of staying from the appearance of evil, and

  211. if you hang around the bad influences of this world. Although you're in the

  212. world, you don't have to be a part of the world. They will

  213. influence you without you even noticing it. I was influenced through the public school

  214. system, through the neighborhood, but thank God I got out of there just

  215. in time. And if you're truly holy, we see that in First Chronicle

  216. sixteen and twenty nine, what a holy Inn this person does. They won't

  217. fail to give God praise. They won't fail to worship Him even in the

  218. difficult times, even then you're going through tough stuff that you go through this

  219. stuff to make you better. It teaches you. So we see that we're

  220. supposed to worship him. And then in Romans one and two we that God

  221. gave us holy scriptures. So if we want to be holy, we got

  222. to live by every word that's in the Bible, because theyre holy scriptures.

  223. It's it's our instructions, it's our map that God gave us. He gave

  224. us that how to be holy, how to live holy, how to make

  225. it to heaven. Not only did He send his holy son to die in

  226. a old rugged cross for our sins, he sent this. He sent us

  227. a map so that we don't have to perish. We are to read this

  228. map every day. I believe as a Christian we are not forsake these words

  229. because God sent us that he wouldn't send us something if we don't need it.

  230. And every word that's in the Bible, whether you like it or not,

  231. you have to follow and obey because it's either it's either holiness or hell.

  232. Right hand for Heaven asked God to help with the to come home.

  233. First of all, I want to thank Mother, Nathaniel and Pastor he was

  234. giving this opportunity. It's done. Be goind the sacred DEAs and uh.

  235. My scripture would be in a Phesian six and eleven. Put on the whole

  236. armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of

  237. the devil. Um moving down on to thirteen. Wherefore take unto you the

  238. whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand withstand in the

  239. evil day. And having done all to stand stand therefore having your loins girded

  240. about with truth, and having a breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shall

  241. with the preparation of gospel of the Gospel of Peace. Above all, take

  242. above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to

  243. quench the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation and

  244. the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. That would

  245. be all my reading. I was praying of the night that I had God

  246. asked I had something on my heart. I was praying the whin Nixy parking

  247. lot while Mama was taking forever, And when Nixy and U, this was

  248. whispered into my heart. Uh, do you have the armor on? Because

  249. as they had already said, without the armor, you will not see heaven.

  250. And uh. While brother Caleb was singing the second song, the verse

  251. said, some risk their soul on some new made way, thinking that they

  252. will come to the gate someday. Oh may they find out they're done that

  253. there that the old Ruggy cross is the lee one. There's just one way

  254. to the gate. And uh, I was. I was planning a guitar

  255. and uh I heard it, and I was like, wait, what did

  256. that is said? And uh he sang it again, and I said,

  257. that is what it said. This is what's gonna this is that's the only

  258. way there's be People do risk their life. You're risking your soul on a

  259. new made way. They go out to all these other churches that won't get

  260. their soul to heaven. And I was praying and I had asked the Lord

  261. to confirm it, and I believe it's been. My message has been confirmed

  262. already, and uh, we do risk our lives. We do risk our

  263. lives. And I don't want to ever fail. Think you've got the glory

  264. and uh praise and honor that He's deserves. And I don't want to ever

  265. fail to give God the glory. I don't want to risk my life on

  266. a new made way that I take mine my soul the hell. I thank

  267. the Lord for what he's done for me. Come on us tonight, I

  268. mean, Andrew thankfuls with these messages so far and all the God they made

  269. us telling us suit man, we're thankful for his presence. Amen, let's

  270. help we preach us tonight. R so thankful for the opportunity that we have

  271. um to be in this house tonight, and the opportunity from our pastor and

  272. brother Nathaniel to say something in this youth service. It's a true privilege.

  273. The Holy Ghost has been here so far, and I enjoyed what I heard

  274. from these other brothers. Um God's here. If we want something, we

  275. can leave here with it. Tonight I'll be reading in Mark chapter five,

  276. Versus twenty five through thirty four, says in verse twenty five. And a

  277. certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered

  278. many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and

  279. was nothing better, but rather grew worse. When she had heard of Jesus,

  280. came in the press behind and touched his garment, For she said,

  281. if I may touch but his clothes, I shall behold. And straightway the

  282. fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that

  283. she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that

  284. virtue had gone out of him, turned turned him about in the press and

  285. said, who touched my clothes? And his disciples said unto him, thou

  286. seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who touched me? And he

  287. looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But the woman,

  288. fearing and true, and when knowing what was done in her, came

  289. and fell down before him and told him all the truth. And he said,

  290. unto her daughter, thy faith hath made the whole go in peace,

  291. and the whole of thy plague. God. It is my desire to share

  292. the burden that God has placed on my heart. Um. I've been praying

  293. about this service, and God has really put this burden upon me. I

  294. feel like it's for somebody, maybe multiple people, but um, if God

  295. will help me, I want to preach on, don't discard your opportunity.

  296. The meaning I want to say this before I get into any more of my

  297. from the definition of discard is to cast aside or to dispose of, to

  298. get rid of. We know it. Mark's Gospel we know of. Mark's

  299. Gospel was a book in the New Testament where Jesus performed miraculous healings where he

  300. cast out devils and unclean spirits. It's also the book that holds many great

  301. parables. In this fifth chapter of Mark. It starts off with Jesus delivering

  302. a man who was possessed with an unclean spirit, but that is not the

  303. only great thing that took place in this chapter. There was a ruler named

  304. Jarius who had a daughter that seemed to be on her death bed, but

  305. Genius had other plans. In the middle of this taking place, while Genius

  306. walked to Jerius's house the crowd. As the crowd followed him, there was

  307. a certain woman who had an issue of blood in her body. No doubt

  308. she wasn't outcast to the world because of her condition. Most people probably kept

  309. their distance and wouldn't have anything to do with her. She had this issue

  310. of blood for twelve years, and no doubt she suffered not in day and

  311. brought had many sleepless knots from the pain. We read in verse twenty six

  312. that she tried many physicians. I believe that she had many opportunities to see

  313. the very best doctors and physicians around. I believe that whenever the door was

  314. open to a doctor's office, she was there to see her appointment. A

  315. lot of times we missed her doctor's appointments. That's just we don't want to

  316. go to the doctor. But she was in such a desperate need that I

  317. believe every time she had an appointment, she was there to see the physician.

  318. She spent everything that she had and still grew worse than her illness.

  319. When she heard of Jesus being in the crowd that was passing by where she

  320. was, she was faced with one of the best opportunities she could be in.

  321. Although Jesus was near to her, she was still faced with the choice.

  322. This was a life for death choice. She could have stayed right where

  323. she was, and she would have withered up and died in the states she

  324. was in. Yes, it look, Yes, it took effort to squeeze

  325. through the crowd and make it to Jesus. I don't know your heart's here

  326. tonight, but if you don't get a hold of it really for yourself,

  327. you're gonna wither up and die. I don't know that, but you came

  328. with what you're battling. But I know, before I really got it for

  329. myself, I would come in and sit on the church views and I would

  330. I wouldn't. I wouldn't be I wouldn't have the mind of God. I

  331. wouldn't have Jesus on my heart and on my mind. But that can change

  332. for you to not. She was so determined to touch to him of this

  333. garment that she was not bothered or worried about what people thought of her.

  334. She wasn't going to let pride stop her from receiving her touch from God.

  335. Robert sixteen eighteen says, pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before

  336. a fall. We see so many people come in and out of the stores,

  337. and I believe they come in. But pride's God unbound. It's a

  338. five letter word, but it's got such a powerful maning. It can't hit

  339. the spirit behind bridal. Keep you from getting what you really mean from God.

  340. It'll keep you from getting in the altars. It'll keep you from getting

  341. saved. It'll you from getting sanked to high. It'll keep you from getting

  342. filled with the holy ghost. He should be like the woman with an issue

  343. of blood, and I have one little ounce of pride within us. When

  344. you are truly desperate for a move of God, you won't care what you

  345. have to do to break through. Whoking got Mark chapter five and verse twenty

  346. five. Again, and a certain woman which had an issue of blood twelve

  347. years. She was bound with this issue of blood for twelve years. There

  348. may be someone here who here who is bound spiritually in a battle and barely

  349. hanging on. It may not be the timeline of twelve years, but being

  350. bound anytime by the devil is too long. It can change. The night.

  351. You could lead here saying I have been set free. What will you

  352. do with the opportunity you have been given the night? You might not make

  353. it to tomorrow. You might not make it back here Sunday. Yes,

  354. their scheduled service this Sunday morning and Someday night, and we'll hear some great

  355. preaching according to the Holy Ghost. But you might not make it till then.

  356. Now is the time for you to decide if you want freedom were captivity.

  357. A lot of people like to have pity parties, and they'll stay in

  358. the same shape. The god they want to look upon, well, he's

  359. in the same shape as he was least servant that can change. You don't

  360. have to be in the same shape as for you. The devil will lie

  361. to you while you sit in the church view and make you think you will

  362. be all right. He'll say things that my experience whenever you're in the church

  363. pew. The devil won't fight you us hard. He'll make you think there's

  364. no need to pray because I won't be there to torment you. But the

  365. next day he's gonna be rotten back and maybe back there five times worse because

  366. you didn't obey God. Revelation twelve twelve says, therefore rejoice see heavens,

  367. and he that dwell in them will to then have there's the earth and of

  368. the sea. For the devil's come down unto you, having great wrath,

  369. because he knoweth he hath but a short time. I want to go back

  370. to about mid Verses says, for the devil has come down unto you,

  371. having great wrath, because he knoweth that he had but a short time.

  372. The devil's fighting us harder than he ever had to conquer those. His days

  373. are few. He knows he's gonna burn in a devil's hell. Where is

  374. that Right now? He don't feel the flame. The one day he will

  375. feel the flames because he is the devil, because of the choices he made

  376. Aldams years ago when the Lord cast him out of heaven. But we can

  377. look at this verse and Romans eight thirty eight and thirty seven. It says,

  378. Nay, in all things, we are more than conquers through Him that

  379. loved us. The devil can fight us as hard as we want to,

  380. But when we have God in our life, we are more than conquers.

  381. We can conquer the devil with God. We can conquer the devil with the

  382. Holy Ghost. The devil's wanting say, I want to discard their opportunity of

  383. worshiping God, a braising God, singing a song unto God, blullifying God.

  384. But we are more than conquerors. We will all go through valleys at

  385. some point, but we don't have to stay in the valleys a lot of

  386. time gonna we're in the valley, Worshiping God will get us out of it.

  387. Braising God will get us out of it. Singing to God will get

  388. it, get us out of it. Bluorifying God will get us out of

  389. it. Just sitting there. I understand there's some people that are disabled,

  390. but nowadays we're seeing people in their teams, people in their torny say just

  391. sit there. God's got something for you, but you must be able to

  392. get it for yourself. We can't give it to you. This woman,

  393. well read about having this you of blood. When she was pressed through the

  394. crowd, didn't try to cause us sing. She was very sincere. God

  395. knows who is sincere and who's here just to put on a show. He

  396. knows, he knows who's here just to be seen him to be heard.

  397. If you came just to be seen, be heard, there's a good there's

  398. a good side. If you don't get him the altar, you won't get

  399. what she came for. The opportunity is yours, The choices yours. Don't

  400. walk out the same person as you came in. This time is running up.

  401. Don't wait till it's too late. A lot of people going back to

  402. what I just said. They think they have time, but we don't know

  403. how much time we have. Let Second pen Or three and ten says,

  404. but the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night,

  405. in the winch to heaven shall pass away with the great noise, and the

  406. elements shall ment with the fervent heath the ground, the earth also in the

  407. works that are there, and shall be burned up. Revelations three and three

  408. says, Remember therefore Hell, thou has received and heard, and hold fast

  409. and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee

  410. as a thief, and thou shalt know what our all will come upon.

  411. We don't know when God's coming back. It says that he's gonna come back

  412. as a thief. In the nine A thief don't just go up to your

  413. house and knock and you come and say, well, hey, I want

  414. to steal something out of your living room. I want to steal something out

  415. of your bedroom. He comes and he sneaks in. God ain't gonna give

  416. us always a morning. We are having a lording right now, but it

  417. ain't gonna be like that forever. Don't waste your opportunities you have now down

  418. here on this earth. You can make preparations now for what you have,

  419. for what will profit you later. Up there, we see a lot of

  420. people. They make preparations, but has nothing to do with God. There's

  421. nothing wrong with having fun in the royal way, but if we put more

  422. preparations and things that we personally enjoy, like going out and hanging out with

  423. rift. I like it if you're hanging out with the right friends, but

  424. you shouldn't make that your priority. God, don't let Satan distract you with

  425. the things of this world, because he will. He will send distractions your

  426. way just so he can try to make you lose your opportunity from being set

  427. free, from being captive to him, from being bound to him. He's

  428. he's a slick devil. He's evil, but he's smart. He'll try to

  429. get you bound. He's got some people bound. If you're into her,

  430. maybe you're not, But there's so many people in this world that are bound,

  431. and he wants to keep you bound. But he also wants to send

  432. distractions your way. So you don't think of the opportunity. Well, do

  433. I have an option to go to church? Do I have an option to

  434. get filled with the Holy goes? Do I have an option to be saved?

  435. It's an option, it's a choice, and it's an opportunity. But

  436. it's up to you what you're gonna do with the times we are in the

  437. valley. I believe God puts certain obstacles in our path to see if we

  438. are truly in the fight to make it home. That we'll put things that

  439. we'll have to go through. God will do it. But we don't have

  440. to. It says we are we are conquerors through Him. We don't have

  441. to. We don't have to live the life of us see Him. We

  442. don't have to live the life of It's all around us anyway. This year

  443. of twenty twenty three, it's all around us, But we can still live

  444. to be saved, safe to fight, and holy goes Field. There's so

  445. many doctrines nowadays around you hear about its feel like you hear a new one

  446. about every day. There's just so many. A bunch of it's nonsense.

  447. This is the way it's gonna take. This is the way it's gonna When

  448. it comes down to it, the King change Bible. That's the way it's

  449. gonna be here. I was listening to a song today to the Course says,

  450. no matter how high the walls may be, obstacles are only opportunities.

  451. There's some people you're going through something, but you can turn it into an

  452. opportunity. You can turn your obstacle. You might not feel like you can

  453. get out of it, but it's an opportunity to not to get out of

  454. it. The opportunity is yours tonight. Or what will you do with it?

  455. Will you choose deliverance or will you choose to discard it? It's a

  456. choice. A lot of people over in other countries they don't have the privilege

  457. to get in the church service like we're here tonight. They'll have together underground,

  458. they'll have to do it in a secret. But while we're still living.

  459. And it may be like that in America. One day, God will

  460. take care of us if it is like that. But right now we're in

  461. this church service. It's up to you what you're gonna do with it.

  462. How do you know? That's the burden ells on my heart ours. I'm

  463. on brother Jesse with the sand miche would men get the song? I mean,

  464. ain't you thankful for the message tonight? The message is A mean.

  466. I feel like there is a there's an opportunity and a choice to be made

  467. tonight. Man, there's a line drawing him the sand. And as these

  468. brothers were preaching, what God laid on my heart was someone needs more than

  471. Amen, and we get a reprieve. Amen. We get a little feel

  484. Amen. With our selfish and lascivious will Amen. Someone tonight if you
