2020 Re-imagined 10/18/2020

[Applause] [Music] how [Music] praise the lord welcome back uh we are grateful to god the stream is back up again we know that it's nothing but the devil of those that are in office working for him but we're going to continue to preach we're going to continue to believe god and we're going to cast down imaginations pull down strongholds and all those things that rise up against the name of jesus christ so we're going to continue on this morning we're going to be in romans chapter 1 once again and colossians chapter 3. those are the only two places you'll need to turn in your bible one of the things i'm learning about this series is that it's going to take time to get through it because i just believe that this is the message for this time that we need to hear and i'm not going to rush through it so be patient with us and pray with us and i believe that god is going to speak to us romans chapter 1 colossians chapter 3 let's pray and get right into the word of god father again we are grateful for this opportunity to gather to receive to believe and to be changed our hearts are open our minds are alert and we're ready to hear what you would say to our hearts this day may your word fall upon good ground bring forth much fruit in our lives so that through our character our conduct and our commitment to the faith others will see substance and evidence so that they may put their confidence in you we thank you that as your word goes forth dear father may we continue to do all that you've called us to do and look forward to what you would have to say to our lives this we pray with thanksgiving in jesus name amen in the book of romans chapter 1 beginning with the 16th verse paul is speaking to that church that's made up of jew and gentile believers and paul's desire for that church was for them to be one for them to come to the unity of the faith and as they were struggling with that paul had to remind them that life is in the gospel notice he says in verse 16 for i am not ashamed of the gospel of christ for it is the power of god to salvation to everyone who believes and that's the key beloved we must believe the gospel of christ we have to stop believing in everything and anything other than the gospel of christ paul says the gospel of christ is the power of god for salvation but the key is that we must believe and we must allow our belief to shape our behavior so that as we keep our confidence in the god the world cannot see they will see through our substance and evident life that god is real paul says salvation for everyone who believes for the jew first and also for the greek verse 17 for in it in the gospel the righteousness of god is revealed from faith to faith as it is written the just shall live by faith we have been looking at this portion of scripture now for four weeks and we saw that the origination of this statement that paul quotes the just shall live by faith came from habakkuk who was an old testament prophet and habakkuk was frustrated with what was going on in his then world habakkuk was concerned because the believers of god were not acting like believers of god they were they were petty in their doings though they were going through the rituals and the motions when they came out of the synagogue they lived just like the rest of the world and so habakkuk was complete back his complaint was lord what are you going to do about these people god said i'm going to send the chaldeans and i'm going to discipline my people now habakkuk didn't like that either habakkuk say but god how can you take a more wicked nation than your own to discipline us god said watch and see and then he told a backup now don't worry about that i've got this it's kind of like us today don't worry about what's going on in the political scene do your part and let's leave the rest of god here's what god told habakkuk what i need you to do don't worry about democrat republican and dependent you write the vision down you make it plain so that those who read will run with it you let the world know that those who are full of pride they're gonna be cut down but the just shall live by faith and that's what we're called to do beloved we've got to stop letting what we see impact how we act we are the just and righteous because jesus christ who died on that cross who was buried and rose again on the third day he has entered into our lives and we have been justified by faith that means god has made us right through his son now we can call heaven down to help us in our time of need now we can stand and boldly declare that jesus christ is lord of all and it doesn't matter what this world does we're going to stand for righteousness so paul tells us it is from faith to faith because if we're gonna live in this dispensation of time we've got to live by faith from the confidence we put in god when we first received and believe to right now in 20 20 years our lord when we're facing the the pandemic police issues political issues power issues we've still got to live by faith so in this series we are saying that it's important for us to understand life from god's perspective we've got to gain a correct interpretation of everything that we see and we've got to recognize that we must live by faith in our second objective we're talking about rethinking how life is supposed to be and that's where i'm gonna anchor down again today so even though this is part number four is this part four yeah this is part four it it still connects with our second objective because we've not completed this yet so if we're gonna rethink how life is supposed to be we have to go back to the author of life we can't rely upon the creation to tell us what life is supposed to be we have to go back to the creator and it's when we have an understanding of life from the creator's perspective it'll help us to live with the rest of his creation see that's important and what i want you to get out of that if god is the creator of all things then he's the one who can instruct us on how to handle all things when god created male and female in the garden he created them to be human beings he created one race and from that one race from that one blood all nations have have filled the earth so we can't pick and choose who's better and no we're all in the body of christ we're all in this universal system and what we've got to do is recognize the importance of life every life is important doesn't matter the color doesn't matter the denomination doesn't matter anything about their political sexual orientation none of that matters what matters is if they are a human being they deserve to hear the gospel so that they can live and it's time for us to stop picking and choosing i know we think we're the best in all that and that's all fine and good but everybody's the best because we all came from the same creator i told you last week as we re-imagined 2020 we have to go back to the image and god created every man every woman every boy every girl according to after his image according to his likeness so whether we live in houston or zimbabwe every person is created in the image of god after his likeness so they're important to god and they're important to us we need to humble ourselves america and quit thinking we're the biggest and the baddest we're one of the youngest nations around and if we keep doing what we're doing we won't be around much longer it's time to get our act together so that we can be what god has called us to be we have great resources we have a great constitution in this nation let's let it work to our advantage and not our disadvantage so what does that mean that means as the body of christ as those of us who believe the gospel let's not hide behind our religion let's not keep doing those things that separate us but let's come together so the world can know that our god is god and jesus is lord not the president not the governor jesus and one day every knee is going to bow and every tongue is going to confess that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god so it's not about a political system it's about what god has called us to do now we have to work in the system that we have but we work it according to righteousness because the just shall live by faith preach pastor right we're going to connect this thing today let's go on so we said that the image of god is how we were created as god is three-dimensional he is god the father god the son god the holy spirit we are three dimensionals we have spirit we have a we are spirit we have a soul and we live in a body the spirit is the core of who we are it's the real us and spirits don't have color spirits don't have a culture if you will because our spirit came from our heavenly father now god took our spirit and he placed it and connected it to a soul which is our mind our intellect our will our volition our emotions and our feelings souls don't have color either now i know that's bad for some of us to believe because especially the potion people like us we you know we thought we got so paid we're so you know yeah that's fine but that's not the so the soul music is not what god is talking about here our mind our intellect our volition and we're fearfully and wonderfully created i want you to get this today so we're spirit we have a soul and we live in this body now the body has color the body has a connection to the world and that's all fine and good but the body doesn't dictate what the soul and spirit ought to do we have to from our spirit tell our soul how to think so our body can align accordingly because when you look at this body the bible teaches us out of genesis we were made from dust we were made from the dust of the earth some of the dust is bright some of the dust is dark some of the dust that was closer to the sun you know is tan but listen it's dust and dust has no value what makes us valuable is not the color of our skin what makes us valuable is the content of our character and that's why we need a person in office who has value the content of their character matters let me get back to this so we're spirit we have a soul and we live in a body so on last time we talked about our first point in this series and we said that if we're going to rethink life if we're going to look at life how it's supposed to be we've got to focus we must pay attention it's time to concentrate on god not the distractions not all of this stuff that's in the peripheral of our vision we've got to focus on god so i said if we're going to focus on god we cannot give distractions our attention if we're going to focus on god we've got to pay attention to what jesus said in the midst of our storms and if we're going to focus on god we've got to walk by faith and not by sight now let's look at our second point today to rethink life to reimagine life from god's perspective number two this is what we've got to do we must form new thought patterns and that's what i want to talk about today it's time to form new thought patterns and the life-givers who was in fellowship you ought to be rejoicing right now because the same spirit that spoke to me this message before i knew what my wife was going to teach spoke to her and you got some of it yesterday now those who didn't they said what are you teaching you got to hear it just just stay with me so here's the thing let's form new thought patterns because the bible is clear as a man thinks in his heart so is he and what is happening today those who think more highly of themselves than they ought to think they feel that they're in position they feel that they are the superior of anyone else and they have it wrong because all of us are fearful and wonderfully created so if that is our thought pattern it's time to pull down those strongholds and cast down those imaginations if we think more lowly of ourselves than we ought to think oh i'll never be good enough because i was born on the wrong side of the track i was born in the wrong race you need to pull that down as well because you are not a mistake you are not a oops i don't care if your mom and daddy didn't plan for you god did and so what you've got to do is recognize because god is my creator and he has allowed me to come into this earth and i'm alive now it's time to lift up my head so ye gates and be lifted up he everlasting doors because the king of glory is going to come in who is the king of glory he's the lord strong and mighty he's the lord mighty in battle so let's not keep our heads bowed down let's lift them up so that the world can know that our god is god got to get back to the text y'all come on let's keep going so we're going to form new thought patterns now go over to colossians chapter 3. did i tell y'all colossians 3 that's what i mean so colossians chapter 3. here we go if we're going to form new thought patterns listen to what i'm saying i'm saying number one we've got to fix our thoughts okay so write that down these are some pre points we must fix our thoughts some of our thoughts are broken some of our thoughts are disconnected we've got to fix our thoughts secondly we have to adjust our meditations we must adjust our meditations we're meditating on the wrong things how can i get her digits you don't need her digits you need the digits that's in the b-i-b-l-e we need to adjust our meditations thirdly we need to modify our reflections we're reflecting on the wrong things it's time to modify our reflections that was three one two three yeah fourthly we must regulate our imaginations some of our imaginations are taking us into places where we ought not be it's time to regulate those time to bring those back in and lastly we must correct our ideas this is what i mean by forming new thought patterns fix our thoughts adjust our meditations modify our reflections regulate our imaginations and correct our ideas now what i'm going to do with the rest of the time that i have left this morning i'm going to teach you how to do that because it's not enough just to tell somebody what they need to do we need to show them how to do it that's one of the challenges we have in the educational system we're telling our children a whole lot of stuff but who's going to help them to do it listen as children get older and age it doesn't mean they've got it all together that's the thing i tell the young adults all the time being a young adult is wonderful but it doesn't mean you have all the answers to life right now what it means that as a young adult you still need someone to walk beside you and to come along and guide you so that you can live your best life so don't throw the old folks away use them yes you have the energy but the older people have the strength and what god promised is that as we age he renews our strength like the eagles he didn't say he'll give us more energy but he gives us the strength so young people we need your energy but you need our strength i'm going on i'm going on listen listen if we're going to form new thought patterns here's your number one we must seek those things which are above so that's the first thing if we're going to form new thought patterns we must seek those things which are above look at colossians chapter 3 verse 1. paul says if then you were raised with christ here it is seek those things which are but that's what pastor just said you know why pastor just said that because it's in the bible see i teach the bible i don't teach my opinions of the bible i teach the bible someone thought they criticized me years ago when they said all you do is teach the bible is there anything else to teach i mean as christians we have the bible which is god's instructions or as as you know you all use the acronym basic instructions before leaving earth that's the bible well we're going to use these basic instructions and i'm going to teach you how to apply them because god allowed it to be written and he kept it all of these years through many many who wanted to destroy it but it's still alive and well he said because the word of god is swift and powerful then any two-edged sword it cuts and it pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit and it's a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart what am i saying what i'm saying for us today is that god is working by his word he's working by his spirit according to his word so look at it we're still in verse one if then you were raised with christ seek those things which are above where christ is sitting at the right hand of god let's talk about what it means to seek to seek comes from the greek word which first means to worship see we're not seeking god if we're not worshiping god that's why beloved we can't just stream in just in time for the word well all i need is the word all i need no you need to worship you need to spend some time before the creator of the universe and tell him how much you love him tell him how much you adore him just worship him because he is god all by himself see seeking means the first thing i'm going to do is worship because if i don't worship i don't value what i'm seeking oh bless the lord and here's the problem that a lot of people have they don't know god so they don't know how to seek god jesus told the woman at the well just a few days ago when they were having this conversation he says you worship but you don't know what you're worshiping y'all say jerusalem y'all say the mountain you don't even know worship they that worship god must worship him in spirit and in truth your spirit has to connect with god's spirit according to the truth that's in his word you can't make up how you gonna worship god you have to do it by his spirit according to his word but that's not the message let's get back to seek not only means to worship but you have to endeavor you you put forth you endeavor to acquire in other words this has to be a desire of yours you have to desire the lord to to seek means to strive after until you get it strive after until you get it if you lost your cell phone you're going to seek it until you find it you're going to be late for your appointments because you've got to have that cell phone if you left your house and recognize you don't have your you're going to turn around now you can leave your bible you can leave your children but i'm not going to leave my cell phone that's too important to me because i got to keep up well that's what it means to seek you strive after until you get it in other words to seek means to aim for with accuracy i like that part to aim with accuracy in other words i'm not just well i'm going to seek the lord let's see where is the lord god are you here god are you there let me see maybe if i read the word what does the word say oh i'm i don't you know i don't feel that right now so i'm just going to put on some gospel music and let the spirit lead me that's not seeking you are aiming for with accuracy what are we seeking we're sinking the kingdom of god and his righteousness we're seeking righteousness peace and joy in the holy spirit because that's the kingdom of god you know what we need today more than anything else we need god's righteousness that's what america is crying out we want to be a just nation we want to treat people fairly that comes through righteousness so you can't have a person in office who's unrighteous whose deeds don't have the best interest at heart i'm going back to the message we need to recognize listen to this under your number one our relationship with god is spiritual and above all earthly imaginations now i want you to get this our relationship with god it's spiritual and it's above all earthly relationships all earthly imaginations rather what am i saying we can't seek those things which are above with human logic only with natural things what i'm going to do is worship god with everything until i get tired and we'll have these worship services where we're jumping up and down and we're high-fiving everybody and we're kicking and scratching and dancing and then by the time we finish we tie so then we got to sit down and while the word is going forward we fall asleep that's not what it means see we have to recognize my relationship with god is spiritual and it's above all earthly imaginations so i cannot rely upon my natural finite mind alone to seek the lord listen to what ephesians 3 20 says it says now to him who's able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask but think according to the power that works in us to him be glory in the church by christ jesus our lord to all generations forever and ever amen why did i say that because paul said he's able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or imagine that's why we're reimagining our lives because god is able so if we want to allow and connect with the god who can do exceedingly above you know what we ask for pales in comparison to what god wants to do in our lives because first corinthians 2 tells us eye has not seen ear has not heard neither has it entered the hearts of man the things that god has prepared for them but he has revealed it by his spirit because the spirit searches all things yay the deep things of god see god is deep and we can't imagine with our eyes ears or hearts so we have to seek those things that are above because the best of our lives is what god has for us we may have sought an education we may have sought money we may have sought a spouse or a house or a car nothing wrong with any of that but when we seek those things that are above it it is far greater and has a much more pleasant desire than a car that's going to break down at some point then a house that you gotta dust and clean and mop and all that and then a spouse that well i'm not gonna leave the spouse alone but listen to what i'm saying god has your best interests at heart but you've gotta seek those things that are above you've got to again endeavor and strive after until you get it listen this is why we must strive after and aim with accuracy so that we can live life to the full we can live the abundant life that jesus came to give us we know john 10 10 where jesus said i came that you might have life and have it more abundantly how can we live an abundant life if all we're looking for is earthly temporary no satisfaction no fulfillment got to get our eyes higher so that's the first thing we've got to do beloved we've got to seek those things that are above he says where christ is sitting at the right hand of god the father christ is at the right hand christ is the one who has given us access because his life his death his burial his resurrection provides us the access to come boldly before the throne of god that we may obtain grace and find mercy to help in our time of need let's seek those things which are above but there's something else paul says here let's keep reading verse one again of colossians chapter three he says if you then were raised with christ seek those things which are above where christ is sitting at the right hand of god look at verse two set your mind on things above not on things of the earth here's our second point if we're going to form new thought patterns not only must we seek those things are that are above but we must set our mind on things above now give me just a few more minutes and we're going to be through to set means to direct our mind to a certain thing have you ever heard when you're trying to talk to a child and they're looking everywhere and anywhere because their mind is not set on what you want them to do so sometimes we got to grab them by the faces and say look at don't you move don't you move to the left and they don't move right here right here stay right here and then they try to move their ass and sometimes you know you got to no don't don't knock it don't do that but you got to get them to focus you got to get them to set direct your mind to what i am saying have you ever given instructions to someone and they say what what you say because their mind has not been set god has given instructions but our mind is not sick we say we want him but have we set our mind some of us right now listen don't there's no condemnation so if you're guilty just repent that's all right some of you are trying to eat some grits and some eggs and you got your sports channel already while you're trying to watch the the live stream you got to set your mind i know you're at home but you're in worship right now so set your mind i know that there are things going on make them children sit down and watch it with you tell the dog you got the hush dog we are in worship to set the mind is to be intent on promoting what god's will is and what pleases him i'm intent listen i can't do anything else but what god tells me that's what it means to sit see we're missing god a lot of times because we've not set our minds we've not put it in place we've got to set our mind our intent has to be on what does god say so how do we do that listen to me he says set your mind on things above not on things on the earth well what's above us christ what's above us those things that our eyes haven't seen ears in that heard what has not entered the hearts of man see or what yeah but but god has revealed them so that means we have to be filled with god's spirit and we have to be led by god's spirit because god's spirit leads us into truth and the truth jesus said will make us free so we don't have to be bound in our sins habits hobbies and addictions we can be free if we seek those things which are above where christ is and if we set our mind set our affection on things above he says not on things on the earth well what am i supposed to do i mean i still got to eat i still got to have some clothes as to well jesus said in matthew 6 your heavenly father knows that you have of these things he knows what you need but he said seek first the kingdom of god and that's a conjunction that means don't just look for the kingdom you're looking for the kingdom of god and his righteousness because when you seek first the kingdom of god and his righteousness his promises all these things will be added to you that means you don't have to look for all this stuff god's going to make sure you have what you need to do what he's called you to do david caught a glimpse of that and he said i have been young and now i'm old and i've never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread what am i saying to you if you seek those things that are above if you set your mind on those things which are above god will take care of you now somebody ought to be a witness right now because god is able to do far above what we even think or imagine listen listen set your mind on things above not on things of the earth he says because you are you died the old you has passed away your own lifestyle has no power over you that's why you got to get out of dead places the things that we used to do when we didn't know christ they're dead to us now now the body still wants it because see the body is like a is it a cadaver you know when there's no more life in it and it's laid out on a table sometimes the nerves will itch and twitch and all that but it's dead you don't have to be scared of dead things get out of dead activities that's not you that's why on the inside of you even when we're still caught up in our habits hobbies and addictions we know it's not right though our flesh may be enjoined our spirit is cried out and say who shall deliver me from this body of sin it might feel good to the flesh but our spirits are yearning we have quenched the spirit of god so we've got to set our mind on things but we have died he says your life is hidden with christ in god in other words you have a new identity now your life is in christ stop getting out of it stop going back to that dead stuff that no longer satisfies doesn't satisfy the hebrew writer talked about moses and said he denied all that the the the pleasure of sin for a season is not worth it it's not worth it ask these people who have gotten caught up into lifestyles that they wish they could go back and do a redo can't do that but the good thing about god is his mercy and his grace is here so we've got to seek those things that are above we've got to set our mind but look at this last part he says when christ who is our life appears then you will also appear with him in glory because of our new position in christ we must adopt a new perspective of what life is supposed to be i know when you were growing up you imagined some things and you dreamed some things and you probably made notes and said by the time i reach whatever age i'm gonna have this i'm gonna have that and maybe you did get it but you're not fulfilled maybe you didn't get it and you're mad let's let god redirect our life let's make our perspective god's perspective because the abundant life is yours for the asking but you've got to seek you've got to sit and the last thing i want to tell you you've got to stabilize your thoughts you got to stabilize see thoughts if they're not captured and contained they'll run us all over the place they'll have us going every which direction i'm christian today i'm buddhist tomorrow i'm howdy christian the next day i'm whatever we've got to stabilize our thoughts we cannot think correctly with unstable thoughts we have to think according to the scriptures that's why it is important to study the word of god that's why it is important to be diligent to show ourselves approved unto god a workman that is not ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth pastor what are you saying i'm just saying what we learned in btu i'm just saying what we learned in catechism i'm just saying what big mama used to tell us and we thought something was wrong with her but she outlived everybody else that you know and when she went on home to be with the lord she went with a smile on her face she went with no worries and no cares it's time for us to simplify our lives by stabilizing our thoughts listen to this incorrect thinking leads to incorrect speaking and bad behavior and we've had four years of that in the highest office in the land and it's time to make a change incorrect thinking leads to incorrect speaking and bad behavior correct thinking leads to correct speaking and good behavior so just listen as people talk and and adopt that statement that james baldwin said i can't hear what you're saying because i see what you're doing see our speech and our actions need to agree because the lips will say anything but behavior is real so what we've got to do my beloved is make sure that we are thinking correctly so that our speech and our actions can align in accord with what we think now what's interesting about and i'm gonna quit picking on him once we get him out of office but what's interesting the resident at the white house he speaks what he thinks and how he acts so let's take him seriously and get him out last thing i want to see we're leaving we've got to develop a new mentality we must develop a new mentality even in this year 2020 has changed our lives forever think back on 9 11. 9 11 changed the way we travel it will never go back to prior to how we used to travel before 9 11. this pandemic the political unrest the politics and everything else that we've got going on it has changed the way we live we're not going back we've got to go forward but going forward means we've got to change our thinking we've got to develop a new mind concept so let me leave you with these last takeaways number one remember your identity you're in christ now that's your identity remember your identity see parents need to tell their children whatever your last name is that's your identity it identifies you to the world and hopefully your parents have worked hard to come up with a good name so that when your name is called when that last name is oh oh you're a wife oh come on you know i know your daddy see a good name will open doors for you a good name will give you favor a good name will give you access while others cannot get in we've got to remember our identity is in christ and keep that in christ secondly as we remember our identity we need to renew our thought life renew your thought life in other words focus your mind on the things above raise a new internal standard for your life i'm not going to live down there anymore i'm going to raise my standard renew your thought life third recognize your old life is dead recognize your old life is dead anything bc before christ is over i'm a new life in christ don't return to old patterns don't go back go forward number four just two more number four release past habits just release them if you used to be a baller if you used to be a drunkard if you used to be a whatever just release that see the way to stop a habit is by first of all stopping the habit okay i want deliverance okay just stop if you're a liar stop lying if you're a cusser stop cussing but that's hard it's not hard the same way you started you just need to stop release past habits just put them off you have the power of god's spirit dwelling on the inside of you you have a resurrection power you can stop and then god will give you what you need so to where that stop becomes easier and easier every day but you got to first start by stopping and then the last thing i want to tell you replace the old habits with new ones what are some new habits we need to develop righteousness holiness obedience and that's why if you're getting a good bible believing bible teaching church we'll help you because all of us have an old lifestyle please don't think that just because i have a robot i've done things well all my life no sir no man this robe is on so that you won't focus on my old life this robe is on so that we can recognize when the word goes forth i'm hearing the word but what's underneath this robe is a life that was torn apart by sin old habits and bad choices but thanks be god to god who saved my life from destruction who picked me up and turned me around who took me out of the muck and the my replay and i can stand today not a perfect man but a man who serves a perfect god and just what he did for me he'll do for you too so trust god with your life and he will pick you up he will turn you around he will place your feet on solid ground you can have a peace that surpasses all understanding he'll give you joy that's unspeakable there is no sin too great that the blood of jesus cannot handle it doesn't matter what you were it's who you are right now and if you would believe on the lord jesus christ you can be saved today don't let your old habits hobbies and addictions keep you bound don't let what people say about you listen to what god says god says believe on the lord jesus christ and you shall be saved god says if any man be in christ he's a new creation old things have passed away behold all things have become new and all things are of god so if you're ready for a new life today let's trust the lord jesus christ if you're ready to let go of those old ways i want you to pray with me right now we're going before the lord in prayer if you need to be on this prayer whether it's a first time commitment to salvation or you want to renew and rededicate your life just repeat after me heavenly father i come to you now in the name of jesus lord i believe that jesus died for my sins that he was buried and that he rose again on the third day come into my heart forgive me of my sins save me from myself fill me with your spirit so that i can live a godly and righteous life i thank you for this and i praise you in jesus name amen beloved if you prayed that prayer i want to welcome you to the body of christ i want to welcome you to your new life in christ your old has passed away in the mind of god you are his child and you are a wonderful child now your next step is to grow develop and mature in him just as a new babe comes into the earth they're a whole baby but they have to grow they have to develop and they have to mature that's what i want you to do now we are here to help you grow develop and mature just as a baby can't do that in and of themselves as a new creature in christ you can't do it by yourself that's why god left in the earth his church would pass out and been to churches that have broken my heart me too i've been around people who said they were christians and they were some of the worst i know i used to be one of them but i'm telling you today god has a people and a place for you and this may be that place for you we absolutely love god we absolutely love those that god sends our way whether it's electronically through live stream physically whatever it is because we recognize that we once were lost but now we've been found we once were blind but now we see and guess
