-
God is good, and good means he gives totally of
-
himself so that you will benefit.
-
He gives everything that he's got. I love my.
-
Wife and children, will love my family. I love my
-
brother's assistance. But I don't know if I give my life.
-
I don't know in my human self. But God took
-
his blameless son, hm blameless, made him sin so you
-
could be made righteous. That he loved you so much
-
that he would murder his son. And yet you sit
-
and look unbothered and act like they're talking about some
-
person far away, some person that doesn't concern you, when
-
your very existence depends on him. The very air you breathe,
-
the very air in your lungs belong to him.
-
A spirit of ingratitude.
-
God help us, God have mercy on us and deliver
-
us from the spirit of ingratitude. Summer said, I was
-
glad when they said, unto me, let us do what
-
go into as Why are you coming into the house
-
of the Lord? Are you glad to be here? Are
-
you glad to be alive? I can take you to
-
the hospital right now. There's some people who wish, I
-
wish there could be in the right mind, have the
-
activity of their limbs, all their faculty is functioning. He's
-
been merciful to you. He's worthy. Hallelujah. You may be seated. Oh,
-
if you're gonna clap, club, I didn't have you to
-
do it. If God you're clapping four. If He's done
-
anything in your life and you think is worthy, then
-
you clap. I thank the Lord for the life of
-
a papa and for a bishop.
-
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes. Some of us we
-
don't know where we will be.
-
May look nice on the outside, but only God knows
-
what's going on on the inside.
-
Do I know? When you blow me agream, don't be deceived.
-
All that glitters is.
-
Not gold but God. But God of all the people,
-
he can pick all the choices that he has, that
-
he would even include me.
-
He's worthy.
-
Today I want to talk on the proof of purchase
-
the blood. Our papa began that last week, and we're
-
just gonna try and keep up with our father. He's
-
deep and it's there's quite some shoes to fail to
-
try and walk in, to try and emulate.
-
But we pray for grace.
-
Let us go to Revelation five verses five and six,
-
and one of the elders saith unto me weep not
-
behold the line of the tribe of Judah. The root
-
of David had prevailed to open the book and to
-
loose the seven seals thereof for six and I beheld,
-
and lo in the midst of the throne and of
-
the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders,
-
stood a lamb. Somebody say, a lamb, a lamb as
-
it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes,
-
which are the seven spirits of God sent forth into
-
all the earth. The word of the Lord is blessed.
-
Now this depiction here is referring to a time in
-
heaven when there was a war going on, when there
-
was a war going on, and Satan had managed to
-
convince one third. Now, I want you to think about something.
-
The scripture says, the heavenly jost are innumerable. That means
-
you and I we can't count. We are unable to
-
place a number as sign a number. And yet the
-
devil was able to convince one third of that innumerable number,
-
and had the nerve to accuse the creator. But you
-
know his name. He is the accuser of the brethren.
-
The same devil is the same one that accused God
-
to men in the garden of Eden, told him, you know,
-
he doesn't want you to be like him. Did he
-
tell you not to eat that fruit? Because the moment
-
you eat that fruit, you will become like him. But
-
I want to draw your attention again to something. It
-
is the devil's job to keep you in ignorance, because
-
had Adam and Eve had just a little thought, they
-
would have realized that in Genesis, God said he made
-
us in his what image and likeness? So how then
-
does the devil come to you and tell you you
-
are not like him? When he says, I made you
-
like me, in my image and in my likeness. And
-
then he breathed his breath, his essence into you, the
-
same essence that he used to command.
-
Let there be.
-
So you don't just look like him. You're not just
-
made like him, but you have everything that it takes
-
to do what he does, to command what he commands.
-
But then, because we don't know, don't you your neighbor
-
and say you don't know, the enemy, whose job it
-
is to keep you ignorant, comes to you and tells
-
you as he does in many situations. You know, the
-
doctor says this disease you've gotten is incurable. You're gonna die.
-
You know you've in this case, you're surely going to jail.
-
You know, this job, this position you've got to you
-
don't qualify. You're going to fail. You know those exams
-
you are praying about, you don't know enough. You're going
-
to fail. But you see, the devil has a way.
-
He doesn't even have to attack you, He just needs
-
to suggest sometimes. That is why the word tells us
-
to renew your mind daily, because this is the battlefield
-
where he most ensnares you.
-
How do you renew your mind daily? In the word?
-
In the word? Because in the word is your identity?
-
Who you are is clearly spelled out. You get your
-
identity from the word. But he says you at the
-
head and not the tail. You're a victor, not a victim.
-
Mm hmm. But you don't know the word, you won't
-
read the word, so he keeps you.
-
In ignorance, and then he's able to dribble you and
-
make you feel unworthy. But the same Bible telling you
-
who you are your identity also tells.
-
You who you are, who sah you are? Who do
-
you belong to?
-
And how do you know you belong to Jesus Christ,
-
the one who shed his blood to make atonement for you.
-
It is the blood, the marking of the blood that signifies,
-
signals to the whole world whose you are. And today
-
we are talking about proof of purchase. See way back
-
in Calvary, Jesus Christ paid the price. He that knew
-
no sin, that lamb that knew no sin, was made
-
sin so that you would be made righteous.
-
And yet you sin.
-
And look unbothered because you know you are all glorious,
-
and you have everything it takes to attain and achieve,
-
and you know, with your wonderful self, have no clue
-
what he has done, have no recognition, no appreciation, no
-
gratitude for what he has done. In heaven, Satan accused
-
God and managed to convince a third of the innumerable hosts.
-
Even there.
-
Among the holy hosts found people that he could deceive
-
to follow his cause. And you think you very much
-
for him. He took the Christ, the Christ to the
-
pinnacle and tried to tempt him and say, look at
-
all this. I own all this. He's the God of
-
this world because man seeded his lease to him. So
-
all of this belongs to me, if you bow to me,
-
if you let yourself, he will deceive you. But we
-
are talking today about the proof of purchase the Blood
-
Revelations twelve and eleven. Revelations twelve and eleven. We have
-
just read Revelations five, five and six. But this is
-
another side of that story. You see in five and
-
six when he convinced the heavenly who was the third
-
of them, to follow him. He had convinced them, to
-
convince them, to make them feel that they were He
-
was a match, he could sit on the throne, that
-
everything God did, he could do, and that he was
-
all powerful, he was equal. But there was something that
-
he forgot. That God in all his knowledge, because he
-
was omnipotent, omniscient, all knowing, the God of yesterday today,
-
the God who knows everything, God had foreseen and so
-
he had already made provision. So the land we're talking
-
about had been slain from the foundation of the earth.
-
So it took them, and they.
-
Overcame him, him being the devil, by the blood of
-
the lamb and by the word of their testimony. Turn
-
to anybody, say, even in heaven, they must testify, and
-
the word of their testimony, and they loved, not their lives,
-
even on to death. It took that for them to
-
even testify that. Listen, the only way this matter is
-
going to be settled is by us declaring, proclaiming what
-
the Christ had done from the foundation of the earth.
-
God loves you so much that in his foresight he
-
prepared a lamb to come and die for you, because
-
he knew as sinful as we were. For incinded my
-
mother conceived me is what the word said, sinful nature.
-
The only thing that was going to be able to
-
make atonement was the blood of the Lamb, And on
-
the cross he died and took on your sin to
-
the point that his father turned his back to him
-
because God cannot deal with sin.
-
He has nothing to do with sin.
-
So at that point, when Jesus Christ are taking your
-
sin and your sin, and your sin and your sin
-
and my sin all of my sins, he became sin
-
and God had to turn his back on him. But
-
it was for a purpose so that you would become
-
the righteousness of God through the Lamb through Christ. So
-
see when you come into his presence and you're sitting
-
like what, I want you to think back better till
-
I want you to read. I want you to glean
-
from this scripture and understand that God had already conceived
-
of you and had gone ahead. He said, he's standing
-
at the beginning of your life, and he knows the end.
-
He has planned your life, cause your parents to meet
-
and bring you into this world.
-
To come and live the life that he has planned.
-
And you think he doesn't know about you, and you
-
think he doesn't know the struggles you're going through. You
-
think he doesn't know exactly where you are. The challenges.
-
They are not meant to break you. He's not punishing you.
-
But all of these are to lead you, for you
-
to come to a place of recognizing who is in
-
your life, for you to come to a place of
-
understanding how much he loves you, so much so that
-
he killed his only son. If anybody walked in there
-
ran and said, listen, I'm gonna give you two choices.
-
It's you or your best friend. Somebody's gonna die today.
-
Who would you say, I'll go for my best friend.
-
I was a fan of fun Fun funnel fanno, and
-
you see beyond a yeah, I love you, I'm not
-
hanging for you. Somebody say, but Christ, But Christ so
-
Revelations twelve and eleven, they overcame him by the blood
-
of the lamb, and by the word of your testimony.
-
Papa gave an analogy.
-
He said, if he were to write you a million
-
dollar check with your name on it, that means he
-
intends for.
-
You to have it. It is designated for you.
-
But if you take that check home and put it
-
under your pillow and sleep on it, do you have
-
a million dollars?
-
You're still broke. There's a part that you must do.
-
Having received that check, which is the word of God,
-
you must cash it. Cashing is enforcing it by your declaration,
-
by superimposing it on every situation the word. But until
-
you take that check to the bank and you cash it,
-
it is not yours, even though it has your name
-
on it. You haven't received it. Even though it has
-
your name on it. That is what we must learn
-
to do.
-
Take the check that Cristi has written you in the word.
-
You're a royal priesthood, you're peculiar, you have a royal heritage,
-
you share you reign with him. Take that to the
-
bank and force it. Apply it to every situation in
-
your life. And when the devil comes up when it
-
comes at you like a flood. The standard that you
-
raise is the word, but you don't know the word.
-
The same word tells you thy word have I.
-
That I may not.
-
So you really are sinning when you're not studying the word.
-
Because God is not going to leave his throne and
-
come down to snatch you from the grip of the fowler,
-
the snare of the fowler. He told you I've made
-
this available for you, Cash it and force it.
-
Apply.
-
See it's not just enough to hear about what he
-
has done. It's not enough to hear about the blood.
-
You must apply the blood. There's a prayer that Papa
-
prayed one time that I made note of petition the
-
blood applied, the blood, deploy it appropriated, use it for
-
the purpose for which it was given. You have an
-
arsenal and let you sit down and the devil it
-
plays you like Tim tinto, Tim Tinto, and then you're crying.
-
God is like, what do you want me to do?
-
I gave you the power. I gave you the authority.
-
It's in the blood, the efficacious blood. Efficacious. It is
-
good for what it is, set for, fit for purpose,
-
can do everything everything that you need to do. Apply
-
the blood, apply it to your mind, you see when
-
it was on the cross, and to put the crown
-
of thoughs on him. The blood that came from the
-
piercing deals with our mindset from the head. So when
-
those thoughts come into your head, the thoughts that the
-
enemy plants in your mind, you're going to fail, you're
-
going to die, you're not worthy. You apply the blood.
-
The blood is good for that too. Apply the blood
-
to your thought. When those other thoughts come to you
-
about those things that you shouldn't do to one another,
-
those things that you mustn't say about one another, those
-
places that you mustn't go, applied the blood. The battlefield
-
is here first, he doesn't have to attack you. He
-
can just suggest and let you blow it out of proportion.
-
Because you have not learned to say it is written.
-
You have not learned to apply the blood. Application is key.
-
Tend your name and say application of the blood is key.
-
Say it is not enough to just know or talk
-
about it, but you must apply, and that you must testify,
-
testify about it your deliverance, your salvation. That's why when
-
you come to the altar, it's not enough to think, okay,
-
except to Jesus crisis.
-
And not settles it. No, you come to the altar and.
-
Say, I have believed in my heart, but I m
-
as what confess because the confession, the application h huh,
-
the application of what you have heard, and the confession
-
know of it. It's what secures your salvation. It is
-
not just thinking about it. Then I can lay in
-
my bed all day and think how saved I am
-
and know that I'm going to heaven. But you need to,
-
in the presence of witnesses, confess and declare. Let all
-
creation here, everything you see is not all that there is.
-
The Bible tells you wrestle not against flesh and blood.
-
That means they are spiritual beings. There are other things.
-
I don't want to give them names, no entities. They
-
are non entities. The only one who matters is Christ.
-
But he lets you know they are also around. So
-
when you make that declaration, you are telling me, back off,
-
I am marked by the blood, I am his. Your
-
identity is secured. Who you belong to, who's you are
-
is established, and therefore he must reckon when he's coming
-
at you.
-
Because now it's not.
-
Just you, you have an whole army of heavenly hosts
-
fighting with you. John one and twenty nine said John
-
saw Jesus coming, So Jesus coming onto him, and he said,
-
behold the lamb of God, which taketh away the sin
-
of the world. Nothing else, and no one else, Not
-
your mother's love, not your father's love, not the love
-
of your siblings, not the love of your boyfriend or
-
your husband, or your friends. Nothing else can take away
-
your sin. It is only his blood that is the
-
proof of purchase. The blood is the only thing that
-
is acceptable to It is the only thing. You know
-
how you can go places and you want to I
-
find out that what means of bottle and they're like, no,
-
you know, we do only take cash. Yes, in the
-
spiritual room, the blood is the highest currency. The only
-
thing that is acceptable is the blood. So if you're
-
not covered by the blood, you're exposed. You have because
-
it is your will that He wants you to willingly submit.
-
He has given you free will. He has made all
-
these things available, but he has given you free will.
-
That's the difference between you and the heavenly angels. They
-
have no choice. Twenty four to seven. Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy,
-
He's righteous he's worthy. That's all they do. But you
-
He has given the will, the freedom of choice by
-
you choose because they are said, yeah, we did carnality,
-
till your neighbor say, don't be cornal. You have to
-
make a transition, not just in your personal life. When
-
even those situations come, when you start panicking, that means
-
you are in the fleshly mood. But you see, he's
-
giving you the ability to transition. You can translocate. You
-
may be standing right here but in the spirit. But
-
after all, he tells you, whatever you see in the flesh,
-
it's already establishing the spirit. So when those situations come
-
at you, and that that says I'm going to die,
-
it is your own tongue. What you confess, you shall decree,
-
it shall be yourself. You will have what you say.
-
Life and death is in the power of the world. Yes,
-
but you have to learn to apply. It's not just
-
enough to know it.
-
Apply it.
-
So when those situations come, apply the proof of purchase
-
is there when the devil.
-
Is telling you you're not qualifying.
-
Get it back off, apply it? What to it to
-
your car, and you will be on playing home. What
-
is yours? As I before saying something the idea, I
-
want to know any or do you when you know
-
something is yours, when you are sure of your inheritance,
-
when you're sure of your your, your your, your possession,
-
that's right. You will possess your possessions. When you're not
-
sure what is yours? Can I can I have some?
-
Please? Whodin that? So it is yours?
-
And you are begging, The princes are walking, and the
-
servants are riding on the backs of the horses.
-
Error, how do you correct it? Proof of purchase? The blood.
-
So the war in heaven even required that the heavenly
-
hosts proclaim, declare, that is by the blood which you
-
are shed before the foundation of the earth.
-
It is what is going to settle this issue.
-
The blood settles all issues apply the blood. First John
-
five and seven, Papa says, they are three things that
-
bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, which is
-
Jesus Christ, and the holy ghosts. And those three are
-
one the trying God, the god Head, the Trinity.
-
But here on earth there are three things.
-
That bare witness, the Spirit, the Holy ghosts, the water
-
which is symbolic of the Word, and the blood.
-
The blood of the lamb. These three agree.
-
About our redemption. So when you have that understanding, nothing
-
can shake you. Nothing, no one can make you feel
-
like you're unworthy. The Word says, And there are three
-
that bear witness in the earth, the Spirit and the
-
Water and the Blood. And these three agree, just like
-
the Trinity are one in heaven.
-
They agree.
-
These things bear witness Exodus twelve three and thirteen. Exodus
-
twelve three and then thirteen. See when God told the
-
children of Israel to mark their lentils with the blood
-
and their dog posts. It was a sign so that
-
when the Angel of Death came when God was going
-
to strike the Egyptians, the children of God needed a
-
sign and a token which would exempt them. May the
-
Lord grant us all exemption by the blood. So it
-
was a sign and a token that the Angel of
-
Death would record ns and it must be applied over
-
the lentils. The lentils is representative of your head, and
-
the doles represent the cross the Christ died on. So
-
when you have been marked, you are marked so that
-
plays will pass over you. Disasters will pass over you,
-
Premature death will pass over you. All forms of evil,
-
whatever the devil has planned for your life will pass
-
over you.
-
Your households, your loved ones.
-
They shall all receive divine exemption because the blood has
-
been applied. Insanity, ineptitude of the mind, sicknesses, all of
-
these the blood can cover.
-
It is efficacious. But if you don't know it you
-
can apply.
-
It. Is not just enough to know it and believe it,
-
but you must enforce it. Apply the blood. For with
-
the heart the man believes right onto righteousness. But by
-
the application or the enforcement of the scripture, the word,
-
which is the confession that we make at the altar
-
of the Word, that the enforcement of that which is
-
written gives your deliverance and your salvation. So until you
-
enforce it, until you speak it. But how are you
-
going to speak it when you don't know it? What
-
are you going to say when the enemy comes against
-
you and you don't know what the word says? When
-
you can't say it is written? Why is your proof
-
of purchase? Ask your neighbor, where is your proof of purchase?
-
Where is the proof of whose you are? Hebrews nine
-
and twelve, Hebrews nine and twelve. And I'm going to
-
end with that. Neither by the blood of goats and calves,
-
but by his own blood. He entered in once into
-
the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Turn't
-
to your neighbors, say your redemption is eternal. It is not seasonal.
-
It is not when you have God is pleased with you,
-
or you have done something extra. There's nothing that you
-
can do. First of all, it is free. All you
-
have to do is believe and confess.
-
That's all.
-
That's your end of the Again, there's nothing that you
-
can do ex show with the God going and say, oh,
-
as for this one, he deserves it. All your righteousness
-
is as what There's nothing you can do, but He
-
gives it freely. But you must know it in order
-
to apply it, to enforce it. The blood of the
-
lamp is proof of precureus. Redemption only comes through and
-
buy the blood. Through the blood, you obtain forgiveness of
-
your sins. Through the blood, you obtain power. The blood
-
has power, It has power to cleanse you. When you're
-
marked by the blood, God doesn't see you or your
-
sins anymore.
-
The blood washes you white and snow. When you are
-
his and you.
-
Are marked by the blood, he says, I will throw
-
your sins into the sea, or forgetfulness. I will take them,
-
separate them as far as the east is from the west,
-
two different directions that are not going to meet. That's
-
what the blood can do. There's power in the blood. Tension,
-
they may say, there's power in the blood. The blood
-
of the sprinkling upon the mercy seat. It neutralizes. There's
-
something that purpose who said about the spiritual refers to
-
Jesus Christ as the lamb. He's also the lion of
-
the tribe of Tudor, but here is depicted as the
-
lamb because he went meekly, humbly to the cross.
-
But do you know that of all the animals in
-
the field, the.
-
Horse, says, the cows, the wilder beasts, the elephants, the hippos,
-
all of that.
-
All the creatures, even human beings, have.
-
The ability to produce something called antibodies.
-
Yes, it is like.
-
A defense mechanism. But of all the creatures in the world,
-
there's one creature that has the ability to produce so
-
much antibodies when needed that it becomes immune to a
-
snake bite. So when they're looking for the blood to
-
develop antibodies, guess which creature there is.
-
It's the lamb.
-
Of all the animals God created, the lamb's blood has
-
the potential of the ability to produce so much antivenom
-
it neutralizes the effect of the poison in the venom.
-
So they tend to draw lambs blood to use for
-
anti venom medication. That is in the natural and scientific,
-
but even in the spirit. God chose a lamb to
-
neutralize the works of the devil in your life, and
-
he tells you all you have to do is apply it.
-
But you choose not to apply. You choose not to
-
know about it. So what do you want God to do?
-
He loved you so much, he killed his son, he
-
shed his blood, and that same blood you can enforce
-
to get your deliverance and your salvation, and that same
-
blood neutralizes whatever the enemy has planned for you.
-
In the spirit and even in the natural.
-
Go and get bitten by a snake, and let them
-
find a lamb who has been bitten, and you find
-
the antibodies enough in there to save your life. He
-
has given you something parallel to compare with, to just
-
make it very present in your mind that the lamp
-
and what the lamb has.
-
Done in your life.
-
I don't know about you, but I want to give
-
God thanks for the blood of the lamb. Oh, come
-
on now, I want to give God thanks for shedding
-
the blood of this only becauden Son. I want to
-
give God thanks for the life of Jesus Christ. I
-
want to give God thanks for what Jesus Christ did
-
on the cross. If you're going to do it, do
-
it well, because if anybody else walks in here, if
-
a celebrity walks in here, you'd be all about that,
-
all up in their face. We're talking about the King
-
of Kings, the Lord of Lord, the one who shedth blood,
-
the one who's black can neutral life, the thanks of
-
the devil in your life. The one who's blood, when
-
you get to know about, can save you, bring your
-
deliverance and your salvation.
-
Today.
-
I don't want to present to you. If you're here
-
and you don't know about this lamb, the Lamb of
-
God that is seated on the mercy Sea, I come
-
to tell you there's nothing you can do to earn it.
-
He gave it freely. It is a gift if you
-
don't know him, in the pardon of your sins, because
-
that's what his blood does. It erases your sin. All
-
you have to do is accept and declare profess it,
-
Confess it. You believe with your heart, and you confess
-
with your mouth, that Jesus Christ is the son of
-
the Living God, and you shall be saved. You are redeemed,
-
You are eternally scripture says it. If the scripture is lying,
-
I'm lying. You are eternally sealed. If you don't know
-
him in the pardon of your sins, I invite you
-
to come. Jesus Christ died on the cross for you
-
so that you will be saved.
-
You will be.
-
Marked, sanctified by his blood, so that there will be
-
a passing over, so that when the enemy comes against you,
-
you have a standard to raise. I don't know what
-
else you want. I don't know how else he can
-
prove to you how much he loves you. Is there
-
anybody here who hasn't accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord
-
and savior. Come, don't worry about what you have on
-
and who's sitting next to you. See, on the day
-
of accountability is going to be you and God. He's
-
going to tell you. Reverend Goodford told you at ten
-
minutes to twelve about the blood and how it can
-
work for you, and what it does.
-
For you, and you didn't accept.
-
See, I am by this washing your blood off my hands.
-
I don't want to be accountable. But when you have
-
heard his voice, heard not your heart come. You don't
-
know when Christ is coming, if it's going to be
-
in the next five minutes, or if it's going to
-
be the next hour, if it's gonna be the next day,
-
if it's gonna be the next month, year, decade, millennium.
-
You don't know. Nobody knows.
-
But that's one thing that you can be sure of.
-
If you accept him, believe in your heart, and confess
-
with your mouth, you are marked. You have proof of
-
purchase that he paid for you, and you are his.
-
And when he comes in, he's gonna say she is mine,
-
he's mine, that one's mine, that one's mine.
-
Let's go. And if you are not marked by his blood.
-
You got the check.
-
I just told you about it, but you refuse to
-
cash it, that is your issue. If you don't know
-
him in the partner of your sins. I invite you
-
to come. Come now, listen. I always make this analogy.
-
It's like buying insurance. For those of you that have cars.
-
When you're paying that insurance perium is painful. It's let
-
me hear your notes. You'll pay it in the whole year.
-
You won't even get a scratchinah shit.
-
Oh. But the day you get an accident.
-
And you are able to call your insurance company and say,
-
crash it, move my fune's here. If it's in a
-
really bad shay, they say they've totaled it, and they
-
tell you what do you want You want a new car?
-
Or do you want to us? What do you want
-
us to do? That insurance premium that you paid, that's
-
the benefit. If you never have an accident, you think
-
it's a waste. But the day you have an accident,
-
you know the value. Same thing. You might think that
-
I'm just talking and this mic is it even necessary?
-
Give my life to Christ? But I do have to
-
walk up here and do all of this. But the
-
day of accountability, when you face God and he says,
-
but before I told you about Jesus Christ and this,
-
he gave you a chance.
-
He wrote that check you used to catch it.
-
You can't say, okay, godait, let me go back to
-
earth real great too late. Now is the time the
-
day that you hear my voice hard and not your heart.
-
Now is the time. You don't know when he's coming.
-
You don't know where you're going to be held accountable
-
for what you have heard. It's not enough to just
-
hear it. You must act on it. If you haven't
-
accepted him.
-
Come.
-
He came all the way, left his glory, left his throne,
-
to come and.
-
Die for you.
-
And you don't even have the gratitude to say, you
-
know what, if you will do all of that for me,
-
The least I can do is yield my will, because
-
He's given.
-
You free will.
-
The least I can do is, like Christ, I choose.
-
You must choose even to praise him worship him. You
-
must choose, because I often see a lot of you
-
are praised and worship is going on, or you're on
-
your phone, or you're whispering to your friend when it's
-
time to give him his glory. You think your alarm
-
woking up this morning. Let me go ring an alarm
-
in the mortuar and see how many of them wake up.
-
Let's go to the mortuary right now, settle alarm and
-
see how many of them will get up.
-
It's not your alarm.
-
Asantie says something we need more, Arenda, what that will
-
will you.
-
So when you open your eyes.
-
In the morning, sure, while you're at do, says Grace
-
favorites in his head, in his favor there's everything you need,
-
everything you need for this daily life.
-
All he wants you to do is acknowledge him and yield.
-
I invite you to come. Don't worry about anyone. Listen
-
on that day, your friends. You can't say, oh, Craig,
-
who I was waiting for quikup? I was waiting for
-
a do so we go together. I was one where
-
you stand in it or be up. Even twins they
-
don't come at the same time, one follows the other.
-
But you are so unique.
-
No two people in this world eight point seven billion people.
-
No two people have the same fingerprints. And you think
-
God doesn't know about you if you took that much
-
time to make you unique, he said. Even the hairs
-
on your head are numbered. This morning, when you combed
-
your hair, maybe hair number two hundred and thirty.
-
Two fell out. God knows, But you don't even know.
-
All you know is your comment. You threw it away.
-
God knows which numbered hair that fell out this morning, and.
-
He's able to replace it. That's not got word to.
-
Yes, that's how much he cares for you.
-
Come because.
-
If you don't use your will, you'll give an account
-
for it, and your blood will not be required of me,
-
because I've told you, and I've told you who you
-
are and where you get your identity, and that there's
-
a proof of purchase, that he purchased your life. He
-
paid the price, he made atonement. It's the only thing
-
that can reconcile you to God, your creator.
-
Is there anyone?
-
Is there?
-
Anyone?
-
Don't worry, don't worry about anything. No, listen all the
-
people looking at you. I'd rather be in heaven with
-
whatever I have on than be here or being in
-
hell with all my fine clothes and well and yet
-
grand thats you agree anyway, Don't worry about what you're wearing,
-
don't worry about what say anything. Each man must work
-
out his salvation with fear for yourself, you and God.
-
You must get to know him, have the experience of
-
who he is for yourself. Not what your mother said,
-
not what your father said, not what your friends and
-
your siblings, no what reverend said. I have my own experience.
-
I've got my shake, and he has forgiven me, and
-
he has allowed me to study here today.
-
So when you hear me, I know where I'm coming from.
-
Or you think I was born with a call out one.
-
Yeah, m hmm. Even my father said, it's I if
-
I didn't know there was good I knew this one
-
about my children, this one like your malehamba. Let me
-
tell you when I came back from America, what I want.
-
My father is talking.
-
Something that mean. My father said, my friend and I
-
will go back to her. But look what I got
-
us that.
-
I have it this evidence I piers that in nineteen
-
ninety or something like that. Way back some of you
-
weren't born. Yeah, I thought I was all that. I
-
thought I was going to Hollywood. When I tell the story,
-
my daughter laughs, thought I was going to Hollywood. Share swag. Daddy,
-
God said, hell judging in Like a good parent, you
-
allow you to fool. After a while has to discipline you.
-
Those of you have children. Stop don't touch it, hey,
-
Can I tell you to stop? Don't touch it?
-
Hey? Jack? Won't he.
-
Then next time he's going to touch it, he remembers,
-
cheer every now and then you need us back in.
-
That's what a good parent does. Don't wait till you
-
have to be whipped into shape. Come, I'm closing.
-
It is time.
-
M hm. He can come any day. No man knows
-
all those profs are doing. In November, the world is
-
going to abah. They say they look to see.
-
Only God knows.
-
But he's giving you chance after chance after chance. When
-
are you going to reason up? When are you going
-
to apply wisdom and say you know what? Listen, the
-
Bible says, sufficient onto the day are the troubles. There's
-
enough trouble on today. Why do you want to add
-
what's gonna go tomorrow, next week? If it comes today?
-
That said, if it.
-
Doesn't come an he allows you another day.
-
Laurie, hallelujah, But don't enter another day not knowing what
-
side you're on. It is not go shable. If you're
-
not gathering, you're scattering. There's no say it's a good Christian.
-
He said, I'd rather you wear God lookwarm, because look
-
warm you spit you out a double minded presence? What unstable? No,
-
Let your A, B A and your neighbor live. You
-
don't want to impair you got somebody at least who knows. Okay,
-
this one you made it. You chose, Yes, you chose
-
you exercise your choice. Why are you sitting down? Are
-
you choosing not to accept Christ? Because you know that's
-
the only thing that would take you to hell, that
-
sends to help you along. But the reason why your
-
soul will end up in hell is because you didn't
-
accept Jesus Christ. That is what takes you to hell.
-
Don't let nobody fool you. You hear it, you hear it,
-
hear it, don't accept it. You are charting your path
-
with all your swag. You're walking towards the fire. At
-
some point you fall off the cliff. There's no redemption.
-
You don't get to come back. I hope church, those
-
of you who are saved, we're praying because this is
-
the most important part of the service. This is where,
-
after all the Word, after all everything, this is what matters,
-
whether they have received it and applied it. It's not
-
enough to hear it. Don't just be hearers of the word,
-
but what doers of the word apply your faith? Because
-
faith without works is what and without faith? Are you
-
pleasing God this morning? If you haven't accepted Jesus Christ,
-
are you pleasing him this morning? Are you doing what
-
pleases him? If you're not, it is up to you.
-
But it's a choice that you're making.
-
For the last time.
-
Anybody else, anybody else, anybody else. Let Heaven bear witness
-
today that you heard the word of God. You were
-
given the opportunity, and you made the choice. If you're saved,
-
stand up on your feet and give God some glory
-
because I'll see you in heaven.
-
Come on, open up your mouth and give him praise.
-
Thank him because we're gonna meet in heaven.
-
Thank him. Give him praise for.
-
Your salvation, for your redemption. Come on, open up your mouth.
-
You can't just clap your hands without making a sound.
-
There's a toad, and give him praise. He's worthy.
-
If the angels do that, all they do is singing
-
on Tiffany, he's worthy, He's good.
-
They don't even talk to God. They talk about God,
-
and that generates the glory.
-
Cloud generate some cloud up in this place by a
-
noise to make let him know your grateful sting
-
Hallelujah.
