2017 Southwest Believers’ Convention: Learn to Trust in God’s Love (7:00 p.m.)

open your Bibles with me tonight let's go to first John chapter 4 thank you Father praise Jesus first John chapter 4 the book of first John as I said earlier in the week set aside several weeks and and I read the book of first John every day for several months and I'm gonna do it again here in just a few days it is one of the most eye-opening books and there are there are things in it that really don't come to the surface until you renew your mind to the fact that God is love amen he is love say it slowly God is love I mentioned this yesterday that actually the word God came from German theology God God has names he's not just God and it's good to study his names and they will take time to go into that tonight but he but his his names or who he he said I am I am Jehovah Rapha I am yet hey Bob hey Rafa the God that heals amen and as I said you go get your whole the whole list and study those names and all of those names are wrapped up in Yeshua Yeshua a machine Yahshua HaMashiach the Christ the Anointed One son of the Living hallelujah instead of just call him God alter he has names that's all that's that's almost like he's calling somebody man all time hey man hey man I have a name yeah I know man yeah I know man yeah hey woman I have a name yeah I know girl whatever you really think that God is love and love heals love prospers love has never loved has only made one person poor only one only one his name is Jesus he became poor with our poverty because he took the curse apart the curse is threefold spiritual death sickness poverty and debt the redemption is threefold salvation healing and he is our Melchizedek now what does that mean brother Coburn Melchizedek is the one that was anointed of God to receive Abraham's time and by receiving that time covenant connected Abraham to God and Melchizedek who is him Melchizedek called Abraham possessor of heaven and earth and he was holding the bread and the wine in his hand when he said it covenant broad whoa hallelujah Oh always I could get over into that knot I may get into a little of it anyway amen that's what love does love doesn't leave you in a lurch love figures out some way to get your deliverance to you look I mean if you can't receive it one way he'll figure out some way to get it to you another there's at least seven different ways in the New Testament but to get healing to you amen now religion comes along I said yeah he don't want you have not ever and then brainwashed Christians all messed up they treat God like he didn't love anybody that's the way one of the reason it's impossible to please God without faith is because without faith he qicang it to you and if he can't connect to it without faith you can't get to His grace it is my faith so that it might be by grace to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed and he wants everybody in that grace I kept asking him I said I need a working definition of grace I know I've looked at the words undeserved favor and and that's good I bet that's wonderful but there was just something just just and it's wasn't satisfied with that I'm in over a long period of time and I didn't answer me a little here and there and show me illustrations you know of His grace and his favor and of course you you can't listen to Jerry Savelle very long without finding something of about Grace and favor amen yes glory so one day not all that long ago I just asked him again just like I didn't you know it I seemed to me like I've just been pestering him for years and all of a sudden he decided to answer me you know and I said well give me a definition of grace he said it is my overwhelming desire to treat you as if sin had never happened yeah now can you see that's what love does love is not looking for a way to keep you from getting it he's looking for a way to get you to get it because he loves you he loves you more than he loved his life amen and you remember that the commercial with all the little green people they got green trucks and green uniforms and they clean up everything remember that do you remember that okay I just wondered if I was getting through here and I'm sitting here and you know that commercial came on glory now they're sitting there again they came on there like an everyman I think that's grace that's grace like it never even happened grace to spit grace laid our sins on Jesus grace race mood and shed his blood grace went to hell so we don't have to go where we can live our lives like it never even happened and when you do sin repent don't spend weeks and weeks and weeks feeling sorry for yourself just come right straight to God and say sir I did it again forgive me please and don't say something else that's stupid amen don't start in that's just a guilt talk there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus but you have to walk after the spirit and not after the flesh you go right straight to first John and you pick that book up and you let's open it - open open it - first John what are you already open at first John did well back up to the first chapter verse 7 if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship one with another in the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us if we confess our sins he is faithful and just or righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness now if you're cleansed from all unrighteousness what's left righteousness hallelujah that's where love won't you but I'm just so sorry I did it well you still got it you ain't repented that oh no you haven't repented until you receive by faith your forgiveness and acknowledge it I don't care how you feel them I know you feel like a rat but if you learn how to walk by faith you can kill that feeling amen oh brother Copeland you're the first thing you know they'll just all be sending in confessing and sending in confession so that's better than sinning and not confessing and sinning it not no born-again no born-again child of God is looking for a way to sin and get away with it you know that that that's just not in you anymore you'll learn that in first John if you spend some time read and study that you're looking for a way to get out from under it to break its break its Authority and power in your life well if you really really if we really really knew its power and authority has already been broken in our lives you'd be surprised how weak that thing cuz its strength is in the flesh but your power is in the spirit amen now let's let's let's walk through this remember now let's go I read our text first full word before we do this we'll get this on a mind and the eighth verse of first John for he that loveth not knoweth not God for god is love then come down to the sixteenth first we have known and believed the love that God hath to us known and believed it now it's one thing it's one thing to mentally accept it but it's another thing to trust it you learn to trust that love God tells you to do something really you really back in the 80s oh we we we've just preaching night and day and stayed tired most of the time and and most of that is my fault I didn't have any better sense of time and we had we had been in Australia and we'd been there for several weeks we preached in and all the way across the the nation and the TV evangelists scandals were going on back here in the United States and and of course the time difference being what the were we get through at night and and and our meetings get back to the hotel and get in bed just just in time for the Morning News to come up in the United States of course it is all over the news and the Lord started talking to us about coming back and starting a daily television I said no I don't want to do that and I didn't know back then what I know now and anybody well I'll tell you what of it I can anyway like I said and this is no excuse but over hours I was tired I wasn't making good decisions and I said and I said Gloria and she'd gotten the same thing and we were laying there in the bed watching the news in the United States and and all you know and it's making making big things out of Jim Baker did you know Jim Baker got a full pardon amen that was a put-up deal between the judge and the prosecuting attorney one of them went to jail and the other one lost his license to practice law trying to destroy that ministry anyway and yeah ain't that right Big John 8 and then nobody said anything about that but that's alright and all this is going on I'm in their showing they're showing Jim in those handcuffs and boy I'm in glory not just laying there in the bed and crying you know I mean it man this is a great friends of ours and Jimmy Swaggart got in and in that Jimmy we're close to the swaggins and I called him another day and hadn't talked to him in a long time and I called him and he and I got to laughing together with what we might we must have talked for I don't know 45 minutes close to an hour just laughing and going on with one another glory to God hallelujah amen well anyway and and and you know they just raking Jimmy over the cold call it's hurting us I said what are we gonna do so we got on there on the jumbo jet coming back to Texas 13 hours across the Pacific Ocean I spent the whole time trying to talk God out of it I said lord I don't want to do that I don't think I'm physically standing I wasn't smart enough to realize that it's not doing what he tells me to do that'll physically kill you instead of accepting that and then he'll release the strength and power for you to go on and do what you're supposed to do anyway so we I didn't but I just didn't want to do that I was not exercising faith in his love he would never call me to something that's going to kill me unless he tells me beforehand did you ever notice that Jesus said concerning Saul of Tarsus I have already shown him what he must suffer for my name's sake the Apostle Paul went into that his eyes wide open agree to do it would you like me to give you a little nugget you can take only saul of tarsus a man that knew the law called of god and proved proved the new government in the field of battle he proved that every word of it will work that was his job after the Apostle Paul nobody has any excuse no no and see it well of course I mean Peter and John and all these guys but they spent time personally with Jesus here is a man plucked off of the road to Damascus a man and brought him in and he proved the New Covenant in the blood the name and the word of Jesus he proved it would work in any kind of situation won every battle every battle every battle with the name the word and the blood hallelujah how that excites me so somewhere in there some somewhere Jesus told him what his job was what his mission was and that it wasn't gonna be easy about it and he agreed I like to heard that conversation but now see if I'd have had sense enough to do that coming back home on that airplane from Africa I could have saved myself a whole lot of trouble but I was not believing the love I was believing my tired body and it made it very difficult on me because I went into daily television not liking a minute of it I was mad at it I didn't want anything to do with it I didn't want to do it when I did it and I've not had to go in and sit down and smile right before the turning cam and in the anointing come home and everything be alright and not leave a studio and be mad till tomorrow say brother Cooper anemia yeah that's how's that stupid finally I'm praying and I'm going over some things here and I said Lord you know you said in your word now if you're willing and obedient you eat the good of the land and I'm believing God for finances in this ministry and so forth and he said you don't qualify for that scripture what no I said you don't qualify what are you talking about he said you haven't had a good word to say about daily television since the day you started it he said you've been obedient but you have not been willing I said well you're right you're right and this may sound like that this was probably about four or five years after I got into it huh this is two years ago I've been mad at it the whole time but see I got I got over my mad over the thing a long time ago but I never had repented for that that thing was still lurking around in me I still didn't like it I'd waiter the last minute to go over there Amen now right after we got back and we got started in this and and got that daily going and one day I was I was just so so empty and so down I just preached completely out and I went over then I'm sitting there I won't put something on on tape just to get it on tape I didn't do that on radio I gave God my word I'm not going to just go in and just make something just just just cuz I'm supposed to and I sit there and I sit there looking at that camera you be surprised what you can see down in there if you look long enough I've had people say well don't you just see all those people no I just see that hole in there and the screws holding it together I hope em to see brother Roberts must be reformed and I said sure the Lord is directing me to go on daily television and and I thought I'd better speak with you about it he's young tell you something about I said glory glory to God yes he's gonna help me with this he said it is so daily oh yeah it just comes up every day and you come in off the road and then you gotta go in there and make one right after another and all that well I said down there and I sat there and I sit there and I sit there I'll go Lord I gotta have something here Lord I quit I got up left I mean kid never come back I knew that after some time another but I really didn't end in Terry said there was no television producer nobody she said well what are we gonna do and Gloria said I'll do it oh boy here she come again glory to God they heal my fat out of the fire and that's when her television ministry began but then once we got the praying about it we began to realize that God had called her into this all the time it was a team thing but neither of us neither of us really cared enough about doing it to pray and find out what we did a men however I started confessing it I love daily television glory to God hallelujah now when I started doing that it just rose up on the inside and I fell in love with it how they lose you and now I enjoy it and I never have gone in there like you where you just now the anointing is there and usually before I'd get in there and I pray in the spirit and pray in the spirit and and and and stir my faith up and when I'd sit down in that chair here it would go and then I'd get done and let me out of here now Jesse's just the opposite man Island Jesse would tape all day and all night Eddie he just absolutely loves it and it's showers but you just you look at the if the at the broadcast then that I've done over the last two years and there's a big difference because I now qualify how they lose you oh yeah Amen why I'm trusting God with it now I want to go into this a little bit further concerned before we get over there in that first chapter notice what he said here now we have known and believed the love that God hath to us God is love he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God God named herein is our love made perfect or developed that we may have boldness in the day of judgment because as he is so are we in this world there is no fear in love well of course not God is love there's no fear in him and he's in us perfected love casteth out fear don't you remember the scripture says stir up the gift that is within us he has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind and you stir up the gift of God which is love what happens it's it flushes that fear out of there because the more you stir it up and the more you feed that love glory to God and the tide starts rising in there it get to the place where there's no room left for fear anymore it's gone now I want to talk to you about this a little bit fear you can have people do this all the time people manage fear people do it all the time I mean saved or unsaved people manage fear you can have a guy for instance that rides big nasty bulls horrible big ugly me bulls in a rodeo and now they wear helmets and everything else it used to be you didn't have none but your head or maybe you had if it stayed on your head long enough or maybe your head come off with the hat on it he has no fear of that animal but then he goes and gets in his truck and he's driving to the next rodeo and he's sitting there worried sick about his finances his children there's life and ever and everything yeah fear is there he managed it worth that bull is concerned and he has not learned to manage it where his own business affairs are concerned unison worry is fear dependent it's fear based so fear now if you're born again if you're not born again your spirit is producing fear there's a fountain of fear in your unborn again spirit now once you get born again old things passed away and behold all things have become new and now there is no fountain of fear on the inside of you you have a fountain of love joy peace longsuffering gentleness goodness kindness over the fruit of the Spirit you you have a fountain of faith in there but you continue to feed fear in there it'll get in your spirit and you baby going along somebody would that would ask you you got fear in you right now no no no fear when actually you do it's resident in you because you fed it in there and if you violate the law of love fear is there immediately because that's what it feeds on there's when you violate the law of love perfected love cast it out but the moment that you decide to violate that law and step off that love line then fear is right there you start worrying about stuff and that kind of thing now instead of managing fear when you are determined to walk in the commandment of love and you put that up first place in your life not by your feelings but the simple fact that the commander-in-chief has commanded us to do it and we are soldiers in the army of the Lord Amen hallelujah so what once you come to that place and you really realize who you are and you begin to not only know but believe that love you trust that love he loves me he loves me he's not trying to hurt me he's doing everything he can to get me to listen to him where I can stay out of trouble go over to Deuteronomy chapter 28 don't lose your place in first John we're coming back to that Deuteronomy chapter 28 this is the blessing of Abraham and the curse of the law look at the first verse of the chapter it shall come to pass if thou shalt hearken diligently you see that hearken diligently see that word hearken here Ken that means I'm supposed to listen up here diligently to the voice hey this is the voice of God this Bible this book is the voice of God to you amen and now to the voice of the LORD thy God to observe and do all his commandments which I command thee this day the Lord thy God will set the on high above all nations of the earth and all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee if you will hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God now in the fifteenth verse but it shall come the pass if you will not hearken unto that the voice of the LORD thy God he refused to listen to him observe to do his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day all these curses have come on you and overtake you all right now then let's go to Romans chapter 13 verse 9 for this thou shalt not commit adultery thou shalt not kill thou shalt not steal thou shalt not bear false witness thou shalt not covet and if there be any other commandment it is briefly understood in this saying namely thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself love worketh no ill to his neighbor therefore love is the fulfilling of the law amen but you have to be as diligent to hearken and listen to him about walking in a law why was he why was he so rough on them why is he telling them you better listen to me because if they disobeyed him they just walked right out there where that curse was he didn't have to put it on them it came on you we have been redeemed from the curse of the law but it's still out there huh look at this as a this straight line down this carpet here this is the straight and the narrow this is what Jesus was talking about it is a narrow way the rest of it is very broad now I've made a commitment to God as a soldier in the army of the Lord I am committed I'm gonna keep that commandment I'm gonna walk in that some way or another I'm gonna walk in that he's just gonna have to help me by His grace and teach me and train me but but I've made up my heart and mind jesus said that love your neighbor as yourself and love the Brethren even as he loved the brothers that's the law of Jesus amen so I'm doing that and something happened whoa the minute I did that I just stepped into Satan's world and he's gonna do his best steal a word out of me if he can get the word out of me he can hurt me Amen all right now let me prove this to you right there in first John I know I'm going back that first chapter to me look in the fifth chapter look in verse 14 this is the confidence that we have in him if we ask anything according to his will if we ask anything according to his word his word is his will there's no way he's gonna promise you something that's against his will that's probably the answer to the question how dumb can you get the thank God is going to promise you something that's against his will doo doo doo doo amen now if we ask anything according to his will according to his word he hears us and if we know that he hears us whatsoever we ask we know that we have the petition that we desired of it If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death he shall ask and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death now look at 17 verse all unrighteousness is sin there is a sin not unto death we know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not really but he has begotten of God keepeth himself and that wicked one touches him not now we may put your brakes on is your mind renewed when you hear the word God you hear the word love when you hear the word love you hear the word gone let's look at that verse again we know that whosoever is born of love sinneth not but he that is born of love keeps himself we're in love and that wicked one touches him nod he's walking that line he's staying in there if he steps out he said no no no I repaired glory that God I'm quick to repent quick to repent quick to forgive slow to anger and stay on that love line now you take your hands off of my baby Satan we I walk in love I keep the commandment of love I walk in it I delight in his commandments because see if I love my neighbor as myself I got it covered all I gotta do is just continue to love and forgive and not let anything not let anything ruffle my feathers amen no I can't now I can't afford me step out there fussing with you huh I mean come on you get up early on Sunday morning and you spend time praying them the spirit and oh the lord is so good and though you've just been in his presence and and you think oh I'm gonna I gotta hurry of them getting rid of church and getting there and you get in action and get mad at your hair folks somebody said that looks great you have to be under 18 years old Joe said okay I'm not going to lose the anointing cuz I get mad at my hair and then get mad at my hair and then go chew out my wife because I'm mad at Meyer and she don't like a little of it either and we're ripping around at one another not in our household that I don't have a pen but I know household what it do happen and then you fussing over something else all the way the church and they started over your stupid hair you got in your emotions got the best of you when all the time the Lord was trying to bless you and you prayed in the spirit and you got into a place where he could use you in that church service this morning and you just blew it over a hairdo that's the way Satan has gotten away with murder amen I mean it no these are commands God is looking for an army that will walk in his love and walk in his statutes Valley and listen to him amen thank you lord now let's go back over here now where we were in the first chapter and let's walk through this by faith you remember said Jesus said whosoever shall say unto this mountain be thou removed cast into the sea shall not doubt in his heart to believe that those things which he says come to pass he shall have whatsoever he saith therefore I say unto you see he he laid out the faith principle and then he immediately put it into operation therefore I say unto you what things soever you desire when you pray believe you received them and you shall have them and when you stand praying forgive if you have aught against any so that your heavenly father can forgive you your trespasses alright let's apply that I missed it well I can wait two or three four days or a week and feel bad about it and crime squad and go ahead and finish the argument you know hold on to it for several days well Billie Copeland you don't know what it did to me I've been German forgive no you hadn't forgiving is easy it's not a matter of feelings no you stand up about the extent of them before the commander-in-chief of the heavenly forces amen and he said sorry I have forgiven her sir thank you very much sir she's forgiven thank you then you get to church that morning and there she comes oh no I thought I've been gave her you did you did that was a decision and that's the way you're supposed to forgive as an a matter of decision of obedience amen now your flesh is in the habit of not liking her and it hadn't changed yet it's still as stupid as it was last week because your flesh doesn't have a mind of its own the the flesh has no mind it is trainable but it has no mind of its own amen and you have to tell it what to do yet you just said no you put a smile on your face and go over there and you greet her because she's forgiven amen I said she's forgiven I don't want to go over there and do that then anything different what you won't do go over there and and speak to her they know tell us you call me that's her problem not yours I was no one him thousand glories on the other and and she said something rather than she all didn't at me some I don't him it what she said and I said how she'll care nothing about me whoa whoa I want you to know the Spirit of God rose up inside me I didn't hear it audibly but I heard it with every cell of my being my eyes heard it my nose heard it my hair heard it he said who do you think you are I mean it jerk me to embrace I'm spending her trembling all over he said it's none of your business whether she cares anything about you or not it is your business to care for her sir yes sir that was the last time that about that's been 20-some odd years ago that's the last time that about I'm not taken I am I'm not taking the chewing out like that again if you ain't never had to hold it goes really thoroughly give you a dressing-down brother I know you ain't never been chewed out when I was in the Army I got chewed out everyday I'll take you that first day I knew I was in some kind of trouble I was way overweight and I want you know top come out there and he looking us over that is the biggest blackest Master Sergeant I hit my life just met was huge I want you to know how anyone Master Sergeant sergeant major he he was all soldier I come to really respect him he walked him from any lab you know he's about six five standing there a little Easton and he poked me in the belly and he said we gonna let the wind out of you boy he did to the man I'm telling you in the name of Jesus that is one of the most powerful things that ever happened in my life when the Lord just gutted me and he yanked me back over there under the authority and power as well amen cuz I'm a soldier in the army well if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us if we confess our sins he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all righteousness when when you stand praying amen when you stand there at attention before him with me whiny baby time is over it's time for the army of God to arrive and attack the forces of darkness with a vengeance and love one another with an intensity that we've never known before hallelujah cause the spiritual doors are open and the power ladders are up begging somebody to climb to the top of the mountain come on up here with me saith the Lord look down on the things of the devil from my vantage point instead of looking up from your crying chamber and release the forces of the power of the kingdom of God that's that stacked up on the inside of you the blessing of the Lord is in there for you have a you you were born of the seed of greatness saith the Lord and the Great God of all heaven and all his living only inside of you release him and let him have it [Music] glory glory glory glory glory glory glory amen father I'm before you today now before I say this you need to realize all the talking you and I've been doing we're never informed him of anything ours and them in a meeting years ago and I and as 21 day meeting and his a mess and could meet but there's some stuff going on and I we're right into that I'll tail into the second week first part of the third week there something like that been there long enough for me to realize what's going on and some of the enemy anyway and I I don't think what all I did but I I really got mad whoa and then I just oh no man I then and I knew you know oh no I'm done and said what I did I don't haven't been attacked like that and then I got on the condemnation over it really really and and and like I said Paul back in those days I just preached night and day and and I in here again I'll tired again war out anyway that's no excuse that's just flesh that's no excuse and I repented of it and it's getting closer and closer to time that I'm supposed to get dressed and go over there and and preach again tonight and it kept getting heavier on me and heavier on men I was embarrassed before the Lord because they got mad and I said I'm not going over there tonight and I said you're just gonna have to get you another boy I'm mine ain't Lord honey I just explained he said why should you know exactly what he said why I said Lord you know exactly what he said I'm asking you why you're not going I said because I did such and such as oh and he said didn't you repent of that I said yes sir he said Kenneth when you confessed it wasn't when I found out about it now that hit me as a great revelation I kind of stood there with my mouth open now listen this is big now he said that's when you got rid of it he knew it all the time and my forgiveness was there all the time amen but until you confess it it's still working in your life but you have to confess it by faith you haven't done anything until you receive the forgiveness and the cleansing that's the promise let's look at it again right here is where most people cave in because they feel so guilty if we confess our sins he's faithful and just or righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness now if you will operate by faith sir I confess that I acted out of love I'm guilty of it and don't try don't try to kind of milk it over that sin call it what it is well you see our counter business I've kind of got this problem you ain't got a problem sin is sin you just stand up there and own it and confess it and spill it out of your system and don't take a whole bunch of time squalling bowling around a buddy get it done sir I did that I judge myself of it and I'm here before you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I confess it and I believe I receive my forgiveness Lord Jesus from your front from your righteous and faithfulness and I receive my cleansing from this in the name of Jesus and now get on your face and begin to worship Him and thank him for his mercy how they lose and you fresh still won't not feel ugly and all that just tell it shut up this is not based on how you feel about this this is based on his faithfulness and his justice his righteousness he is faithful in a man and then you lay hold of that and you claim that and all the time there all the time your body's trying to jump on you and said oh no no no no come on now come on the straight not just thinking here you have received by faith not by feeling your forgiveness he is faithful and he's just or he's not if you believe your flesh that's just as good as saying Jesus is not faithful but he's faithful it's you and me that failed to receive it by faith and trying to feel better about it now start talking to your motion doctor stop believe in God yes Amen in the name of Jesus thank you for my forgiveness thank you for cleansing me in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I refuse to tolerate anything like that I refuse to tolerate anything like that out of my flesh IRA I'm not gonna let the devil put thoughts in my mind about what those people did or said of what I didn't said because what I did and said is a whole lot more important than what they did because what I didn't said is what affects my life amen and train yourself to do that amen but brother Koval I just feel terrible about it well get out there in the floor and pray in tongues and worship and praise God and pray those sigh and lousy feelings off of you pray that stuff off your mind get the devil out of your household and run them all and just tell him right now I'm gonna tell you something Jesus is faithful and Jesus is just and I am the righteousness of God in him and you get out of here you don't touch me I walk in love devil I walk in the love I keep the commandments of God I walk in his Commandments you can't touch me you can't touch me I said you can't touch me you do that a while and you old flesh comes around say yeah and that goes for you can't you your flesh will come right on there after a while amen are you receiving it [Applause] now what are you gonna have to do that you're gonna have to believe that love cuz you're feeling like a dog a mess particularly this is something you've been around around this may be your 14th time around this tree stupid thing that's cause you keep saying the same dumb stupid thing you wouldn't have to call things that be not as though they were instead of calling things that are the way they're you ain't never gonna change anything cause you can't get your faith up beyond your emotions yeah that's it but walk by faith not by something hallelujah that is the key to success in the kingdom of God and be quick to repair quick to repair quick so what's the matter with 16 you stay in there stay in the world you just keeps you just keep taking authority over that flesh and you put that thing where it belongs after all don't you think God would do what he's told us to do they said how many times are we supposed to forgive seven times What did he say that all figures out to be four hundred and seventy times a day [Music] that was a day and God will forgive you 470 times a day but not if you're not not if you just play a game you just do something to feel a little guilty man I'm a man and then go on do it no no no we're talking about soldiers here now if you've been doing that repent of that and get that settled in your life and come on come on in here and get serious about this go ready go quit playing Church come on in the army of the Lord glory to God ha ha ha amen but great things are happening great victories are being wrong hallelujah all right we'll close with this no oh my kind of people girl thank you lord as you read through first John you begin to realize that Chapter three behold what manner of love the father who is love hath bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God beloved now are we the sons of God it does not yet appear what we shall be but we know say I know that when he shall appear we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is now I want to point something out here to you nobody go get around in some of these preachers I won't see him jump when I say this bouchard's nobody has seen Jesus in his full glory yeah that's reserved until that day and we'll see him in the fullness of his and when we do we'll be just like him [Music] [Applause] with him do you realize that once we are caught up and glorified as he is glory fine in our glorified bodies you remember he said handle me our spirit hath not flesh and bone as you see me him not blood all of his blood all of it is in the heavenly Holy of Holies all of it is there not just a dropper - it's all there that's holy blood amen hallelujah do you realize that once that takes place there never will be any more like us never be any more glorified ones we're oh yeah we're the glorified ones oh there there'll be natural people on and on and on and on and on amen never be any more glorified ones we were the ones that fought the battles and after all that's done they ain't gonna be no more devil [Music] you will have to look way up yonder that little ball of fire and look up there and say how do you do now you'll never give him another thought he's so far gone out of your thinking never cross your mind now well during the Millennium because we've got teaching to do cause 10:00 to that thousand year period he's gonna be released a little far so we got a thousand years of preaching today amen but after that Jesus gonna make a sail cat out of him now if you weren't raised in West Texas you probably don't know what a sail cat is you know what did it you know gets really hot out there and dry and you see a semi run over a cat and you let him bake on that hot payment for a little while [Laughter] then you peel him up and see how far you can sail him Jesus come put the devil and hold that gang and Lego fire hey I think it's about time me to quit get talking about sailing cats on what manner what manner of love is this hallelujah thank you lord what manner of love it is the love of the master himself Oh glory to God Oh glory glory glory the love of God has been shed abroad in your heart now go back to the 17th chapter Jonas or where we started this let's go back and we'll we'll finish with this 17th chapter of John Jesus is praying right before he goes to the cross now we've talked about the 23rd verse I am them thou in me that they may be made perfect in one that the world may know that thou has sent me and has loved them as thou has to love me who's the them first 20 neither pray I for these alone but for them also which shall be believe on me through their word he was praying this for the whole body of Christ that the world may know that God loves you just as much as he does Jesus amen but now look at the last verse verse 26 I have declared unto them thy name and will declare it that the love wherewith thou hast loved me the love father father the love wherewith you have loved me may be that very same law that very same Oh Oh God you can't even say it with your natural language it's not big enough you can't say it it's God God the Holy Spirit shed abroad V love we're with God the Father loved Jesus and He shed that same that same love abroad in your spirit when you were born again it is in there it is in there and if you'll stir it if you will commit to it if you will believe it and have faith in it and trust that love trust it trust it trust that love trust it trust it it'll grow and it'll grow and it'll grow and it'll grow and it'll begin to flush all the fear out of you their nests won't be any in you you just become fearless when you become fearless that makes you that the worst thing that devil ever heard of amen and the lord says do something you just do it amen why well glory to God if I have

he is in me right now the fullness of his love is in me the fullness of his faith is in me the fullness of his joy is within me I've not been given the spirit of fear I've been given the spirit of power I've been given the spirit of love I've been given the spirit of a sound mind I have the mind of Christ I'm strong in the Lord I'm strong in his power and might I'm a forgiver I'm not a condemned ER I am a lover with the love of God where the devil is concerned I am really clean [Applause] now God is love so now how can he hate Satan he is who that won them funny questions no it ended very simple love is absolutely diametrically opposed to Satan's sin and darkness and love hey team can you see what is it love is going along but all he has to do is turn around and he becomes fierce were the enemy's concern and you and I are this like him now we don't need to be getting ugly with one another because we don't wrestle with flesh and blood we wrestle with principalities and powers and rulers of the darkness of this world amen I am M full-array in opposition to him Bovary the God now let me let me give you let me give you a a little bit more clear picture about this where God is concerned how this work we are his covenant people amen yeah we have a blood covenant with him in the blood of Jesus now I am in covenant I have a covenant with Gloria Copeland now made that covenant with Gloria Jeanne nice fifty five years ago and I entered that covenant with her and since I really learned what real covenant meant I've realized later that that covenant that we made was in the blood of Jesus it's a blood covenant in his blood very strong very very strong now I love you I don't even know you and I love you amen because I woke it I woke in the commandment of love and I love you Amy but now I want a son you start messing with her now I'm in covenant with her and I love you but you start messing with her and I'm gonna love you and hurt you I don't care if I am 80 years old it's gonna be the longest day you ever had cuz I don't fight fair in the spirit and I don't fight fair in the natural and in the spirit world what's fair about using the name of Jesus on something ain't unfair about that we win every time love never fails but now if it comes down to it I'll love you and kill you graveyard dead and love you all the time I don't hate you I just have a covenant with Gloria Jean and just sleep like a baby now I put that in that framework where you can see we can see where God is in these things amen hallelujah and that's who we are and that's what we are we are walking in covenant with him and we need to start trusting that love because he's got you back he's got your front if you trust him if you walk and do what he says and get in that book and walk in that covenant and believe that covenant and don't put anything else in your mouth and walk in love and when you do phal it up jump right back in there say thank you Jesus glory to God and get right back in there on the love of God and don't let any devil or any man get you out don't let anybody pull you off of that don't let anybody get you off of that love line I want you to know you get
