Impurity (Works of the Flesh) Rev James Okine 10th Nov 2024

Father, We thank you, we give you praise.

We asked for your grace this morning and re ask

that if you're answer, you're about speaking to us. Let

the entrance with your word be open, and may we

receive your word in.

am not feeling you at all. Can you give God

some price?

Hallelujah? Amen? Yeah.

Isn't that the weather it's causing people to be too cool?

Or the race or what is it? I'm not really

feeling you this morning.

Can you look at your neighbor, say, my neighbor, my neighbor,

Seven Bishop O.

Can you appreciate God for the life of the Father

of the house, my God of.

The Father of the house. Amen. This is a man

I've come to love. Yes.

And the last week when we went to our new

auditorialm I was just asking myself two questions, why woa,

bishop who has all these things still.

the loss on clap of praise.

Oh yes, and please be seated. Amen. Amen, Amen, Harle Lawyer.

Amen, this morning, I'm going to be a pilot and

we are going to fly.

Amen.

I believe that this month and even last month, our

father is seven, that Bishop came here.

And spoke and spoke to us on a.

Very strong subject, works of the flesh, the works of

the flesh.

And I believe that for.

The past three weeks we've been dealing with the works

of the flesh. We started with sexual immorality, and I

believe that last two weeks and last week was amazing.

We had our discussions, and I believe that by this

time we should have some deeper understanding and knowledge when

it comes to sexual immorality.

Amen.

We are still continuing in the same light. We are

still continuing the same light Galician, Chapter five, verse nineteen amplified.

We are continuing the same.

Like because this is an instruction, and I believe that

it's a timely instruction.

It's a timely instruction that as a church we dwell

on the west of the flesh.

Because you see one thing that can take you out

of place.

One thing that can prevent.

You from entraining to heaven and dwelling with the most

high con it's this thing.

This the Bible said.

Now the practices of the same ful nature are clearly evidence.

They accessual, immorality, impurity, sensuality, don't our irresponsibility, lack of

self controul.

Today, I want to look.

At impurity or impurity, impurity, impurity. A lot of times

we ask ourselves certain questions. And I remember in the

Bible that Pharazines came to Jesus and asked them a question.

And I remember just as answering them and said, what

ain't testing to you? That doesn't make you impeal? But

what comes out of you? In two chapter fifteen.

He said, what ain't testing to you? It's not what's

makes you unclean or impeal, but what comes out of you?

When we say impurity, See what does it mean to

be impyo? What does it mean to me?

In Kyo?

Impurity refers to any kind of unclean or on holy

living unclean or on holy living impurity. And we know

impurity stems from the world in Pio. So somebody says

you are in pere or impire, what it means is

that you are unclean. And number two, you are on

holy you are unclean, or you are unclean or your

own I love this definition. I was given my Bible

Reference dot com.

It says that.

Impurity referring to any kind of uncleanliness in our thoughts,

in our thoughts, in.

Our actions, and in our words.

Impurity refers to anything or any uncleanliness in our thoughts,

in our words, and in our actions, in our thoughts,

in our words, and our actions. And I define impurity

this way, that impurity is that which you do and

prevents you, that prevents you from seeing God, that which

you do.

That prevents you from seeing God.

My tu chatter five, verse seven, look at something, Machu

chatter five, my two chapter five, go.

To verse eight.

This is at the attitude in my two chatter five.

We see them attitudes. And I break up the attitudes

down and I say that these are the attitudes.

We must be or become. And this is it. Give

me King James, okay, James.

King James says, blessed and appear in hearts, for day

shall see God. Blessed at the appeal in her. So

what is impurity? Impurity is that which you do that

prevents you from seeing God. Once you are pure. The

blessing that comes with it is that you will see.

God where you are pere.

The blessing that comes with it is that you will

see God. And not seeing God in your visions, not

seeing God in your dreams, by seeing God in your

everyday life, God manifest himself in your situations, God manifesting.

Somebody's asking what a toy is Reverend James talking about

you have to have been giving us examples of impurity.

Give me my two chapter fifteen, from the seventeen King James,

My fu chapter fifteen, verse seventeen.

You are already, King James, And then you give me

the amplifier. We are ready.

From the seventeen to verse nineteen, the bobent said, do

not yet understand that whatsoever and threaten in at the

mound go into the belly, and it's cast out into

the droughts.

Verse eighteen.

That's eighty by those things will proceed out of the mound.

Countford from their hearts, and they defil the man. They

deferult the man.

What comes out of the mound first is natured in

the hearts, and it defiles the man. So the Bible said,

God your heart with all diligence, for out of it

are the issues of life.

Verse nineteen. Then he said, for out of the art proceed.

Number one, evil thoughts, These are the things I make

men in teo evil thought, evil thought, thinking evil of

a friend, thinking evil of her brother. Let me tell you,

if you to the pastors, think evil of even the

Acolic past.

So it is not an escape.

You may be sitting here, you're thinking eful of people,

of the thinking evil of people, thinking evil of people

a friend. That's just something wrong. And all you think

about is that may they also be repaid for what

they've done to you? Maybe also be repaid for what

If we thoughts, if all imaginations our father causes ill wishes,

ill in tins, and ill wiels, if we talks many

other thoughts and plants in the heart of men, by

the counselor of the law, is what you surely start.

If we taught no matter two madness, madness, those two

method now my three our daughters of my dog, that

is that funnication, that's false witness blasphemous Verse twenty sweet.

Then that's twenty sense.

Vers twenty cents, twenty it is that these are the

things which defile a man. In other words, these are

the things which make men unclean. In other wise, this

say that thing is which make men impal. Sexual immorality

is part of it. You saw the phnication. You saw

there adults part of it?

Impal, impal, impal. Let me tell you something. Your actions

can be coming.

But when the intenth of your action it's not coming

from the right place, it makes your action.

Impio for God.

The The worst thing is why why do you want

to join the cha.

Why?

Why do you want to become a bastard? Why do

you want to go to the Bible school? You want

to go to the Bible school because you want to

know what happens and that is it so that you

can correct past that's where they're preaching.

Why do you want to become the charist?

Is it so that you can showcase your voice and

let people know how powerful you can sink? No, I'm

saying your actions can be godly. Your actions can be

backed by scratches. But that does don't make it. Pere

doesn't make it. What makes it pill is the motive

behind it. The motive, the motive, the motive, the motive

somebody saying, I want to be part of the protocol

so that you know the way they dress.

I like it. You see at times.

This is when I was looking at the hostess in

the main church and I was starting one lady that Charlie,

I want to come and join you before you know why,

I said, I want to come and join, And I

told her the way wood dress is nice. And that

is why body, we decide to go and join, Not

because of the beauties, not because of the responsibility. You

want to join so that you can showcase your caves.

You can showcase your beauty, and that is why I

want to join. Look, you're as shame. That doesn't my

tire lot, But you're intent. The raising behind it, the

reason behind it, the reason behind it. The Bible said

to the appell all days, appeal, the reason behind your

thoughts is very important.

It's very very important.

Look at Jount chapter twelve, from this one to six

Joint chapter twelve, King James, look at it, then, Jeez,

six days before the Passover, came to bethuney Well Las

Ross was which had been dead, whom he raised from

the dead vesture. They made him a supper and Matt saved.

But last Ross was one of them that sat at

the table with him. Best three then took Mary a

pound of appointmental striking now very costly, and anointed at

the feet of Jesus, and wipe his feet with her hair.

And the house was filled with the odor of the ointments.

Verse four.

Then said one of his disciples, look at it. Then

said one of his disciples.

Two.

Thus his carried Simon's son. We should betray him. Why

was this or why was not this oint man sold

for three hundred tanks and give it to the poor.

You see, wait, look at this scripture. You can see

somebody who is thinking well and thinking good. He's thinking

well and thinking good of the poor. I mean, when

I look at the statement, it is good. I mean,

why don't you sell the ointments and use it to

take care of the poor.

It is good.

It is cordly. He said, I was hungry. You didn't

give me food. I was sick. You didn't visit me.

I was in prison, you never came there. I didn't

have grute, and never gave me some. And he said,

I would separate the ship from the goods. So what

you came to tell Jesus was very goodly. He said,

why don't we sell this thing?

This thing? Ah?

Yet your good now, so it doesn't important on your feet.

Why don't you just sell it and make some money

to take care of the people in the church, to

take care of the people in the church, to take

care of the poor, to per some to pay some

hospital bills.

Why don't he salad, why don't you sell? Why don't

you sell it? Why don't you sell them?

But the Bible was very quick to give us an

understanding to what he tru does a trolley made not

his words, but the intent.

Look at the intent.

In versex versus, the Bible said this, he said, not

that he cared for the poor, not that he cared

for the poor, but because he was the tef and

had the money back and bear what was put the ring.

Let's just say, and every think that they put in

the bag. The guy helped himself with it. He shaes

in the bag the bag is his portion. And if

you can't you know, ju, that's was their treasure of

the disciples. He kept the money. So Juda says, smile,

it's all about transaction.

Transaction.

No one that I want to be trade says it's transactional,

so you can't. You can't blame him, no emotions attached.

I mean, and I think that he'd be thinking that

this has to vanished. On the last day, he would

get his money and on the grass to vanish. Then

you thld them. But I give you the money, I

gave you the guy.

You weren't able to hold him and he vanished. It's

not me. The guy was transactional in his stallings. You

cannot blame him, Okay, you can't.

Some of you if you were there, you you only

take that the business or server.

You tell them that.

They should give you a land in addition, and make

sure they paved their way to your house, because what

you've given to them, it's very heavy and huge, something huge,

something great trus Did he have the right intent? Did

he have the right intent? He didn't have the right intent.

What have you been thinking about? What have you been

thinking about? What have you been thinking about the right intent?

The right mindset? So it said something said that it's

not only when you sleep with the woman that you're fornicating.

He said, w if you watch, when you watch, well,

look at them. Last fully, they have committed for the

kitchen that something trust the power of the mind is

so it's because of a lot of us we are struggling.

We are not aware at your God has designed us

to be because I see the mind we have and

the intent we carry is causing us to do a

lot of things with.

God that's not approved.

Which God that's not approved, that's not a proved that

somebody calls me, I said that first, I want to marry,

and I'm feeling introd. This the lady to mine to

my parents, and I said, how are you? Because when

I look at the person telling me they want to marry,

that's myself. What is happening?

Just how are you?

Then he said, I'm seventy. Yeah, I am seventy. And

I said, so when he took the lady to your mother,

what did they say?

He said, they agreed. Yeah, he said they agreed.

And what the what they told me was that it

shouldn't engage you immoralities. We shouldn't engage man. We can

go ahead. And I said, who is this lady said

the lady is my sn h. The lady is my senior.

The lady is my senior.

Wow, wow, wow.

Many other days in the past I'll sit down and

I can watch pornography in my mind. Will tell me

sleep with somebody.

Mm hmmm. And they thing down prevents you from seeing God.

Considered to be impure, consider to be imp it's a

blessard at the po four day.

We see God. For day we see God doesn't mean

a lot of us here we may not see God.

Because if.

The qualification to see God is to have your heart,

then doesn't mean why I ask you this question, can

you see God?

Will you be able to see God? You see?

It only answers the question that that is why a

lot of you are expressing God in your life, because

by this creature does not mean that you see God physically.

What it means is that you see the hand works

of God. Tell it in your life. So some of

you you pray and you don't see the Lord moved.

You ask God questions, said God, this don't answer you.

You pray a lot and God, that's not show.

Because why.

Your thoughts intent pre David said, he looked at the stories,

you look at what was going on, and he said,

creating me and clean hands, in other words, creating me

and your hearts. In other words, creating me and life

that is full of purity, and that is absent from impurity,

he said, a lot of times. And let me go

there a little. You see, why do you want to

lives to die? Why do you want we just to die? Why?

Why give me a look at that night verse fifty

four fifty six. Looked at that night, look at something,

I said this, And then I ate looked at that night. Oh,

he said. And when his disciples James and Jones saw this,

go to verse fifty two.

Let's die from verse fifty two, best fifty two.

We are looking at a man who came to live

on earth, a man you and I are supposed to follow,

a pure, hated man, a clean hairted man, a man

with a hat.

I was full of purity.

And he sent messengers before his face, and then away

and entered into a village of the Samaritans to make

ready for him verse fifty three, and that they did

not receive him.

They are come to make you away for Jesus. And

the boy did not receive him.

Why because his face was as though he would go

to Jerusalem. Now look at these fifty And when his

disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord Lord,

They said, would nou that we command fire to come

down from heaven and consume them? Even as a layers did, Oh,

my God, my Lord, my Jesus, the way the pop behaving.

Why don't you allow us to bring down fire? To

bring down fire, to bring down fire. Then he said,

look what he said. But he tended and repute them,

and said, she knows, she know not what manner of

spirit you have, or year of want to know the

spirits you have. It's a spirit of purity. It's a

spirit of purity. It's a spirit of purity. It's a

spirit of purity, not ill intent, not evil thoughts. Why

must you think evil of your brother? Why do you

think you have to call down fire to consume somebody?

What have they done? The Bible say vengeance. It's on

the Lord vengeance.

I've got into a place in my life where I

don't think evil of anybody.

I don't think evil.

Look, the only thing I'll do is to apologize to you.

I want to see God. I want to see God.

Nothing matters in this world than to make it to heaven.

I want to make it to heaven.

Heaven is a wow.

I was asking question some time ago that where do

we come from and where.

Are we going?

And then everybody said we came from ed and I said,

you're lying, we came from Heaven.

Then we'll go back to heaven.

We are here to exercise our dominion mandate, and in

exercise your domino mandate, you may lose it.

And that is where we need to be careful. Lose it.

I want to make it to heaven. I don't grudges

against him.

I don't. The world has too many things for me

to think about that bludges against you thinking involved against it.

Somebody loses your church to start their church, then you

start thinking that let the church go down, because why

they are rebels.

They left your church. Somebody left their choir mhm, and start.

Thinking evil of the person. Now this messon was once

with us. Now the person has left us. Now look

at where the person is an da you're lying, see man,

And this is the thinking of the church. I'm talking

to you because you're a church. Some of you are

going to become bishops, some of you are going to

become past us. After you built the Church of God,

and somebody comes here and say that the Lord said

that you're.

Going to start something. All you have to do is

just to place them and let them go.

Comella said, if it is of the Lord to stand,

but if it's not of the Lord, will see the

end of it.

It's not for you to catch them. It's not for

you to raise up your voice, and your voice are kiss.

Them the next day in church is a place of purity.

It's a place of purity.

Last week I was with my Bishop Ashore, did some

honorable thing or a honorable thing?

Say it? After the service? And everything I was the past.

That we will go.

We we're all with measure of the bastard.

And I said, to be sure, Measure, what you did

today is very honorable.

And he said, James, what's a smile? What is man?

If you can not rise up and take responsibilities to

our asses and own it and account for it and

let people know that we didn't do sat thing in

attention and apologize?

What else? Who are we be? Your hearts, your hands?

Somebody did something against you, then it is his fault.

It is fault.

Until today you're holding their grudgeous and saying that no, no,

he caused it, she caused it. She must apologize. She

might say a sort I will not say anything.

I will not. I will not. And even when people

will come to you and tell you, I'll tell.

Him you just called it. Call the person the perside,

just tell oh, I'm sorry, You're okay. Less with it me.

I don't not do it. I didn't start it. They

started it. I'm not calling. I'm not calling.

See the way you're feeling she started feeling bad. The

question I asked last week was that today, if you

should die, will you make it to heaven? And if

you make it to heaven, will you be able to

see God? That's church is very powerful, Matthew says Matthew

five days, very powerful. Does it mean you can also

make it to heaven and yet not even see God? No,

doesn't mean you can't even make it to heaven and

its still not see God physically, not seeing You can't

make it to heaven and still you don't be able

to see him.

You are heaven.

How many of you have been members of Action from

bed or how many of you have been members.

Of Action for the past five years, since year seven years,

ten years?

If not admishop came here to preach, or you see

a bishop in the main church, have you ever met him?

Before. And it's yes. I mean have you have you.

Gone to some office before? Know how many of you

have been to admissops office before? Apart from some of

the leaders, since you've you've not been there before? Fruit,

So does it mean you can't still be in heaven

the place of God, the dwelling place of God.

I still not see God.

There are a lot of slaves and a lot of

seven peoples who have not seen their master before. I

worked at Votera phone for some time. And while I

was at Vodaphone, I never saw the general manager. I

never saw I never saw the general I never not

even talk of that. That the over wrong pass of Vodaphone.

I never saw.

I went to weather Sith, I never saw the the

director general. I never saw it. I never saw it.

I never saw it. So does it mean you can't

be in heaven? I still not see God? Okay, let's

our hearts. Let's check our life. Let's see God life.

A life of purity is that we pleases God. Jesus

are the point of his baptism. The Bible said the

heavens were open and a bodily shape like your dog

descended and when the heavens were opening, the Bible said,

and that came a voice.

We said, build, this is my beloved son.

In whom I am well pleased. You see for you

to hear, in whom I am well pleased. Understand the

person has fulfilled.

All righteousness, all righteous.

When Olivia today, when see that friend of yourself, tell

them I'm sorry, well, Livia today, don't see your mother

or your auntie and see them as witches. Have it

your hearts, have it, your hearts, your heart.

Don't see your uncles and see them as witches.

The Bible said, for all things well together, for good

for them that love the Lord, who are.

The court according to his purples.

If the answer was not there, which you will not

be praying by now, your prayer life would have been

very down.

But because he's there, you're an actually prayer a worry.

It is good that load is powerful. Don't think I

wuldove them.

When it comes to set thing the table before your enemies,

you don't set your table. It is God that sets stable.

So Devid said, something that is set the table before

me in the presence of my enemies. When it comes

to enemies, you don't determine your enemies.

You don't determin your enemies. Maybe the Bible says, pray

for your enemies.

Pray for your enemies, pray for them, don't pray against them.

And you see the baby say don't pray that. The

babody say, pray against it. He's a prayer for fun.

It's for you, for your enemies, for your enemies.

Do you think Lucifer today if it goes back to

God and say God, I'm sorry, forgive me. God go

not forgive you? So why you bring that people should die? Well,

Lucifer himself he has been giving time to come back

and say sorry.

It's deeper that you're thinking. It's deeper. It's deeper. Yeah. No,

do you think if Lucifer comes to that and say, of.

God, I'm sorry, forgive you with a cleaner, cleaner mind

and goes on his kneez, No, Yamin, I have bone

for jamming for over the five thousand years or two

thousand years.

I'm sorry. Money no money, none, right, I must have

you anything you want to give me, a like I'll

clean your shoe. You don't think God will not forgive you.

So if God forgives you, what that means to you

that you. You keep saying that, let God kill your enemies,

your enemies God, if you want them also to be saved.

Gods, this is the word of the law. It is

not me.

It is the word of God. I'm not one say

an it. The word of God is saying it. He said,

prayer for your enemies. Don't call fire on your enemies,

don't crll fire on people. Don't kill people with your words.

Pray for them. And God, who sees all things, will

surely reward you.

Impurity, purity.

Before you act, check your actions, and check the intent

of your actions. What is provoking you to act that way?

What is provoking?

Sometime I go when I'm called to be an empty

Then I get so happy.

Why because I want to showcase? Why are the time I.

Guess so happy because I want to go showcase who

I am? It doesn't go well. Some years ago, ten

twelve years ago. I like them seeing events.

Any time I have in mind that I'm.

Going to blow the minds of people that day, Oh Shelly,

my mind is blue. People's mind are not blue. My

mind is blue. But the day I go with the

mind that God will use me to touch somebody's life.

When I get there. People's minds are blue. Let the

Lord help us. Let the Lord help us that even

as we're talking about the works of the flesh, the

Lord will deliver us. In Jesus my name, Amen, rise

to your feet, and letters pray.

Right still of it. The letters pray impurity. The word impurity, impurity.

When it comes to impurit it. It's more of the

acts than your actions. It's more of that. That's why

she said. I said, it is not what goes into you,

but it's what comes out of you your heart. Always

ask yourself a question before you act. What you cannot

control is becose action. But what you can control is

your reaction. Can't be your reactions, and be careful about

your reactions. In Jesus name, you want to left up

your wiss and pray that God helped me, That Holy

Spirit helped me.

Holy Spirit, heal left up your spirit. Help me. You

know what you do, You know what is in your heart.

You know what spray. Lord my hat can't.

Shake your how that's points and only say matmosphere. The

Word of God has been hating you. He's spoken about

sexualized morality. Today he's talking about impurity. Your heart is

very key. Then for it to be bere you need

to have somebody you're following. This man is Jesus. If

you're not able to follow him and give your life

to him, he cannot direct your path.

Today.

I want to make Roomen give up to you, to

them that I said pasta, So I want.

To make you a right record. Come and let us

stray with you. Come.

I want to say my thoughts, my things have been

hitting me up. I'm not living the right life. Come

and let me prove with you. Come, let me bruit.

If you're coming, come with you. Come, let me.

Prove with you.

With thank God, Thank God, say Lord Jesus, I thank

you for their gifts of savage. I thank you for

believing in me and giving me that powerful opportunity to

live again. Lord Jesus, thank you for what you have

done in Jesus name. Amen, Amen, man see that. And

it's very important. It's very important. It's very important. It's

very important. It's very important. It's very very important. Implurity

is killing people. It's killing people, it's killing people.

Look at this video, watch this video.

We treat our church versus how we treat our work.

Number One, we don't mind being late for church, but

we try our best not being late for work. We

miss church because we say we are tired from work,

but we never miss church from work. Number three. We

spend two hours a week in church and complain in

the church so this is too long, but God for

eight hrs a day for five or seven days a

week excluding over time, but never complain of that. Number four.

When we are confronted for our mistakes in church, we

quickly transfer to another church, but when we are confronted

for our mistakes at work, we apologize promise to do.

Number five.

When we are called to be in church other than

on a Sunday, we make excuses that we are busy,

but when we are called to work on a Sunday,

we miss church and give excuse that we have to work.

Number six. We check our phones during church service, but

we turn our phones off at work and never complain.

Number seven. We share away from responsibilities in.

Our restorage, but we would beat our church versus how

we yeah and give us a right volume start.

We treat our church versus how we treat our work.

Number one. We don't mind being late for church, but

we try our best not being late for work. Number two,

we miss church because, as we say, we are tired

from work, but we never miss church from work. Number three.

We spend two hours a week in church and complain

the church service is too long, but God for eight

hrs a day for five or seven days a week

excluding over time, but never complain of that. Number four.

When we are confronted for our mistakes in church, we

quickly transfer to another church, but when we are confronted

for our mistakes at work, we apologize promise to do better.

Number five. When we are called to be in church

other than on a Sunday, we make excuses that we

are busy, but when we are called to work on

a Sunday, we miss church and give excuse that we

have to work. Number six. We check our phones during

church service, but we turn our phones off at work

and never complain. Number seven. We share away from responsibilities

in our church, but we work hard and volunteer in

our places of work to be promoted. So let's be honest.

Is God first in our lives as we claim it?

It's a question?

Is God first in our life as we claim it?

That's the thing. What is their intent? Why are you

coming to church? Amen? The Lord will help us.
