true [Music] [Music] hold my hand lord yeah i just wanna be with you wrap your loving arms around me lord i wanna be with you oh lord i just wanna be with you yeah uh we've we've come to the part of our service which we think about how how cross sacrifice so much for us and we're just we're just thankful for what he did and he continues to do for us we come to the part of our service for communion and collection and i'll be looking at paul's writing when we talk about and understand why we commune together i've read from first corinthians chapter 11 starting at verse number 23 and god's word says for i speak to you what i have received from the lord himself on the night when he was betrayed the lord jesus took some bread and gave thanks to god for it then he broke it in pieces and said this is my body which is given for you do this to remember me in the same way he took the cup of wine after supper saying this cup is the new covenant between god and his people and agreement confirmed with my blood do this to remember me as often as you drink it for every time you eat this bread and drink this cup you are announcing the lord's death until he comes again so anyone who eats the bread or drinks this cup of the lord unworthily is guilty of sinning against the body and the blood of the lord that is why you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the cup for if you eat the bread and drink the cup without honoring the body of christ you are eating and drinking god's judgment upon yourself that is why many of you are sick and weak and some have even died but if we would examine ourselves we would not be judged by god in this way yet when we are judged by the lord we are being disciplined so that we will be condemned so we will not be condemned along with the world so my dear brothers and sisters when you gather together for the lord's supper wait for each other if you are really hungry if you are really hungry eat at home so you don't bring judgment upon yourselves when you meet together i'll give you instructions about the other matters after i arrive let us pray heavenly father we thank you so much for your sacrifice we are just so thankful that we have the opportunity to partake of your body which is represented by this blood what by this by this bread and your blood which is represented uh by this what we're about to take of heavenly father we just pray that this cup and his bread are taken with the understanding of why we do it each every each lord's day in jesus name we all pray amen we come to the second part of our service which is collection we first of all would like to thank those who had the opportunity to give their lay by on yesterday and folks who have already uh made their offering let's read in second corinthians chapter nine and see what the bible tells us about about our giving about collection the bible says in second corinthians chapter nine starting at verse number six the word reads remember this a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop but the one who plants generously will get a generous you must decide in your own heart how much to give and don't get give reluctantly or to response to pressure for god loves a person who gives cheerfully and god will generously provide all you need then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others as the scripture says they share freely and give generously to the poor their good deeds will be remembered forever for god is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat in the same way he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you yes you will be enriched in every way so you can always be generous and when we take your gift to those who need them they will thank god so two things will result from this ministry of giving the needs of the believers in jerusalem will be met and they will joyfully express their thanks to god as a result of your ministry they will give glory to god for your generosity to them and to all believers who prove that you are obedient to the good news of christ and they will pray for you with deep affection because of the overflowing grace god has given to you thank god for this gift which is too wonderful for words let us pray heavenly father we just thank you so much for the many blessings you bestowed us all with heavenly father right now you're giving us the opportunity to give back a portion of what you've already blessed us with heavenly father so help us to have a cheerful and willful heart as we give back to you heavenly father for we understand that it all belongs to you anyway we thank you so much for each and everything and we understand we can never be what you've already given to us in jesus name we all pray amen on my way home on my way home on my way home [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] my way home tears in my eyes [Music] [Music] yes i [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] yes [Music] [Applause] my friends [Music] that's it [Music] [Music] somebody [Music] [Music] if you [Music] jesus [Music] jesus down [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] somebody needs you [Music] [Music] i say one touch [Music] if you need [Music] [Laughter] fix it [Music] i'm glad i got jesus [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] i'm [Music] [Applause] somebody somebody ought to say just fix it jesus fix it jesus because there's so many things that's messed up in our lives every now and then we just ought to say fix it jesus you know we try to fix this thing ourselves and we really really really make a mess out i want to do this

him on the sofa please don't miss this some of us have been trying and trying and trying and god wants to help you get up off the floor and set you but because you are stubborn and trying to do this

the word of god well i'm ready to give it to you did i give you time to find psalms chapter number 13. psalms chapter number 13. psalms the chapter is number 13. look at the bible how long will i forget me oh lord forever how long will i hide thy face from me how long shall i take character from my soul having sorrow in my heart daily how long shall my enemy be exalted above me consider and hear me lord o lord my god lighten my mind eyes lest i sleep the sleep of death lest my enemy say i have prevailed against him and those that trouble me will rejoice when i move but look at verse 5 good god and body look at the power in the back i have trusted in the mercy my heart shall rejoice in my salvation i will sing unto thee o lord because i have dealt that i have their bounds for me with me oh god we need you right now speak to our hearts and we'll be very careful to give you praise lord we'll give you honor and i promise you we'll give you glory and all of god's children say it amen i want to talk for the next few minutes i need thee lord i need thee can i say it again i need thee lord i need thee watch this aj because one of the most popular hymns of the church is that all songs i need thee every hour this song was written by a woman by the name of any hawks one day this young wife was busy cleaning her house and suddenly she became filled with the spirit of god she became engulfed with the presence of the master she was so indulged until she began to think what would my life be without my gum so she she she said i need thee every hour and that began to urge her into her mind so she grabbed her pen and she wrote these words i need thee every hour and after after writing the lyrics annie gabe gave them to her pastor robert lowry who added the tune and the chorus this hymn was first published at the national baptist school convention in in in cincinnati ohio in 1872. watch this but it didn't done on any what this song really meant until she lost her husband when eddie lost her husband she realized marlon that she really needed the lord she felt that life as she knew it was over she felt that she could not go home because because he the lord had taken her joy beloveds after nearly 150 years of this hymn we are still singing it and still speak to us today it expressed to you and i uh the deepest cry of our heart i need thee i need thee listen listen listen we need the church but we really need the lord y'all not hearing me we need our career but we really need the lord we need our family but we really we really need the lord listen to the lyrics she wrote these lyrics she says i need thee every hour most gracious lord no tender voice like thine can peace afford i need thee every hour stay die nearby temptation loses power when thou are nigh i need thee every hour in joy or pain come quickly and abide or life is in vain i need thee every hour teach me thy will and thy riches promises in me fulfill i need thee every hour most holy one and make me die indeed thy blessed son i need thee she said oh i need thee and let me tell you something church if we need anything we need the lord beloveds this short song that was read in your hearing david felt the same way and he did he felt that he needed god beloved he he felt that that that that god was so far away from him he was broken and his heart was bleeding and david realized that he needed the lord beloved i don't know about you i'm overwhelmed with the things that are taking place jonte i'm telling you this pandemic there's police violence murder murders every day these broken marriages the rise of homosexuality the failing students the skyrocket price the absence of public worship just to name a few i don't know about you but it has left my heart bleeding those of us those of us who know the lord find themselves crying these very words lord i need you lord i need you let me let me break this text down y'all got time for this because it's not but six verses but this thing is so loaded with information hillary until it would blow your mind i thank god that our nurses are here today they are preparing themselves for our return but let me tell you something it's something about these six verses that if you just read them you're missing can i take my time can i can i take my time and explain these things to you watch this donnie look at verse one and verse two the bible says how long will that forget me how long can you hear the cry in this one in this psalm he said how long lord will thou forget me how long he said oh god forever he says how long will i hide thy face for me verse two how long shall i take counsel in my soul having sorrow in my heart daily how long will my enemy be exalted before me the first thing i want you to see here in this text is the confused heart of david i want you to see this because david hart is all confused beloved most bible scholars believe that david was running from king saul when he pinned this song he had been fighting with saul for a long long time you see david had become physically emotionally spiritually worn out he was just worn out irwin and apparently david had come to a place where he feel like he couldn't go home he felt like i had ran the last day he felt like i have a head the last hour he felt like i have made it the last minute who am i talking to today somebody i don't know who you are where you are but you've been fighting this fight a long time you've been fighting and every time you think you get a a toehold in you find yourself step back how who am i talking to can i welcome will you welcome me into your home because some of you have been fighting and fighting and fighting fighting to stay sane in an insane world fighting to keep yourself spiritual fighting for your integrity fighting for your dignity fighting on your job fighting in your community fighting with your brother fighting with your neighbor you have just been fighting and you are asking god god how long how long do i have to battle with my mother how long do i have to battle with my siblings how long do i have to battle with the preacher how long god had promised david the throne of israel and the day of his inauguration had not appeared he's now weary with his weight oh my god you got to see this saul was doing all the evil that he possibly could to get david off track while david was walking with the lord doing everything the lord would have him to do and it looked like to david that the enemy was prevailing beloved david was certainly disturbed by what his enemy was doing but he was more concerned about what the lord was not doing so he cries how long lord how long will you forget me how long forever he says how long will i hide thy face for me beloved first point i want you to see is that david felt forgotten david felt forgotten four times four times shayla in two verses he asked the question how long four times in two verses he asked how long god had allowed this problem to last a long time in david's life david had been praying and praying and praying he had been seeking the lord and the lord had not answered david david felt like the lord had forgotten him watch this deborah because the word forgotten here means to cease to care or it means to ignore david felt like god had ignored him you see you see you see you got to understand something here david had been chosen to be king at the age of 15. david was not anointed until the age of 30. y'all missing it listen listen listen to me david had been chosen to be king at 15. he was not anointed to be keen until the age of 30. beloveds beloved this time had a long time had passed and david says now i know i've been chosen i know saul had i know samuel has came down and anointed me i know that god has his hand on me but i've been waiting a long time can i tell you something here's where most of us miss our blessing right here right here here's what we're missing here's where we're missing that you got to see this cedric because the bible says in in in in isaiah chapter 40 and verse number one and for uh psalms isaiah 40 and verse 31 that's what i want when the bible say but they that way upon the lord the word wait here is very interesting it was a hebrew word which means to bind together it means to twist it means to twist watch it now he said they that wait upon the lord shall renew their strength oh good god almighty that's some preaching in this verse he said they shall mount up with wings like eagles you know eagles don't get in storms because when a storm come an eagle flies above the storm he said they shall murder with wing in other words when the storm come they'll fly above the storm he said they shall mount up with wings like eagles they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faith what happens when you don't wait on the lord what happens when you try to fix it what happened benita when you try to fix it and you fail to wait on god beloved then you put it in your own hand and when you put it in your hand guess what god takes his hand off oh i wish y'all could see this when you decide that you're going to do it larry then god says well if you want to do it then i'll just back oh god stay on the bus now because god processing time in your processing time is different it's different what when you think you're ready and when god thinks you're ready it's two different times beloved when we are in the waiting room of god can i tell you something all you can do is wait almighty can i say that again when we are in god's waiting room all we can do is wait see there are two things that you do while you're waiting on god listen to me number one you you wait with expectation in other words you do like a pregnant woman a woman who's waiting to deliver a baby i don't care how frustrated she gets she's got to wait until the first trimester and the she's got to wait until the baby has positioned itself and the head is shaped in a position to cut he you gotta wait god says you wait on me you wait on me i know where you're trying to get to britney but you better wait because if i take my hand off of you then you're going to have to do it yourself but he says you wait on me and the second thing he said you wait with faith you wait with faith you wait expecting it to happen you wait you you lord i know you're going to do it i know you're going to that's a song we used to say i don't know when i don't know how but i know you're going to do it and you got to believe that because faith is believing and let me tell you something if you if you pray and believe you shall receive but if you pray and doubt you'll be without good god almighty let me tell you we we learned from the woman with the blood issue she had to wait on god for 12 years you remember the woman in luke chapter 18 she was bent over she uh luke 13 rather she had an infirmity she was bent over and she had to wait 18 years we remember the man at the pool of bethesda in john chapter 5 38 years he had to sit there and wait most of our marriage is dissolved because we don't want to wait you get in you get into marriage and and after your first year you're just really learning one another and after learning one another you're gonna go through some stuff but if you don't learn how to wait and work wait and work wait and work you're gonna be in worlds of trouble because you're gonna think you've made the worst decision in in your life but when you learn to wait and work wait and work wait and work that things get better let me tell you so the first thing i want you to see is if i'm going somewhere y'all just don't don't leave me because i'm getting to the good part look look the first thing we see that he felt forgotten but secondly he felt abandoned look david says how long shall i wait here's what you got to see hide thy face for me now the word faith speaks of god's blessing it speaks of his pleasure it speaks of his favor god speaks of of god god god's favor and it speaks of his pleasure let me tell you something when it is it is god speaking to you when god is looking at you beloved we got this thing wrong we we believe that god's favor means that things are going right but god's favor is not always fair can i tell you can i say it again god's favor is not a you can have stage four cancer and have god's favor can i say that again you could have been laid off on your job and have god's favor watch this you can have a seven digit 401k plan and not have god's pleasure favor beloved you got to understand favor ain't fair you see david uh not david joseph had to go to the pit before he went to the palace uh you got to see it man jonah had to go in the whale's belly before he made it out let me tell you favor ain't fair and we look at favor as always having things that we want in our life moses had to stay on the backside of the mountain until he was 80 before he received god's favor beloved i'm trying to tell you that favor ain't fair there are times in our lives when we experience the presence of god and look like everything that we touch turns into gold there are times in our lives when our marriages is going right our health is going right our careers are going right there are times in our life that everywhere we turn it looks like god is there but there are other times oh i wish i had you look when god you're looking for god and you're asking god where are you you'll look for god and you'll cry out to god and and and it seems like he don't even hear you you'll be looking for god you need him so bad and you'll say lord have you forgot about me and if you're not careful stephanie he'll make you question your relationship he'll make you ask the question am i really your child you'll look over at your neighbor who cares absolutely nothing about god and it looks like they're just prospering and it looks like you're going backwards and you say god every day i i do the best i can and those folk don't care nothing about you and you're blessing them what about me watch this y'all watch this watch this whenever you're in the fire please get this whenever you're in the fires of life god keeps his eyes on the temperature and he keeps his hand on the thermometer can i say it again when you're in the fires of life god he keeps his eyes on the temperature and his hand on the thermometer he's not going to turn he's not going to turn it up too much that he know that you can so david now watch this good god almighty david felt abandoned david felt forgotten but look david also felt disheartened david is in a turmoil his son is in a torment let me tell you something and he says i'm taking oh i love this he says i'm taking counsel from my soul now watch this prince i don't have a problem if you and i are in a fight because if you and i are in a fight then i've got something i'm fighting but let me tell you something when the fight is on the ins come here when the fight is on the inside of me see when i'm fighting you marlon then it's you and i we're throwing blows but when the fight when the enemy is in me can i say it again when the enemy is in me that's a fight that's hard to win because the fight is internal and not external and we have we have fights with our past we have fights with our future we have fights without on the inside of us are you listening to me david says how long do i have to take counsel from this old soul of mine how long lord well i have to answer the same question that's in my heart i have to dig out of my soul and come up with an answer beloved listen it's good to have peace within but it's also good to have protection around that's why when david prayed oh i'm going somewhere when david prayed he prayed to the lord with three requests in verse three he said hear me hear me lord he said hear me what what are you saying david he said make sure that my will is lining up with your will he says him but then he goes on and say see me lord see me he said that i can see you see me he said see me see what i am seeing in me and then in verse four he say move me move me what what do you mean move me out of the way of my enemy because my enemy could get the victory over me i i want to drop it i got to work here that's why i was rushing but here's what you got to see feeling feeling forgotten feeling abandoned filling this car heartened those are called defining moments oh good god almighty listen to me listen to me those are called defining moments see those are the moments that raise you good god almighty see see i'm concerned because when these defining moments come in our lives we run we run but let me tell you something let me tell you something when when you are when you are having those moments they are not comfortable moments when you you're having those moments they're always are trying moments but when you're having those moments they are painful moments but those moments when they come into your life they define who you are when those moments come in your life they define why you're here when those moments come into your life that define what you have been called to do beloveds i'm trying to tell you just because you got hair on your chest don't make you no man just because you got a fine body don't make you no woman just because you got a bible in your hand don't make you a christian let me tell you something it's these defining moments when you walk with god and don't know how you're going to get there that's what determines what you're all about see we're running from these defiled defining moments we are crying and complaining about these moments but let me tell you something but when you can deal with your defining moments in life you are growing you are being shaped you are being mold if you don't deal with your defining moments your defining moments to deal with you david at this point couldn't deal with him he couldn't deal with his defining he was thinking god had gone off on his promises beloved let me tell you he felt like he had been forgotten by god but god was shaping him he felt like god had had abandoned him but god was growing him he felt like god was blessing everybody but him can i tell you something he that those was his sacrificing moments beloveds we got to understand that all of us go through defining moments in our life and if we're not able to hold these moments then our lives will just be cast away let me tell you those moments they raise us not just quoting all of these scriptures running in somebody's face quoting that's not what raised you it's how do i handle these moments that come in my life those moments is when i can stand up and say i'm a full-grown man because i can i'm a full-grown woman because i can handle these defining moments i wish i had some praying people those moments is some awakening moments it causes us to open our eyes beloved it may appear that god have forgotten you but he can't god can't forget you listen what he said in psalms 19 verse number 14 he says for the lord will not cast his people off he says he will not cast off his people neither will he forsake their inheritance he said god's not man i don't care how damn it look god says i'm not going to cast you away i'm not i'm i'm going oh good god of mine i was y'all could see this notice what he said notice what he said he says in in hebrews chapter 13 and and verse five he says he says for for i will never leave thee or for safety you see the word never it appears in the bible 93 times it is it is called a double negative it means in no way in no way and no listen he said it means in no way he said i will in no way leave you nor forsake you it says and no that's no it is just out i'm not gonna leave you beloved he cares for you and he cares for me and i'll tell you i'll tell you we all get in those moments last week i got into one of those moments briefly sitting around thinking my load was heavy had a funeral to do on friday had to do my bible class and the internet wouldn't work had to try to get together for sunday and it was one of those moments where all of the weight in the world was just pushing down on my back wife came and told me she said nah you you're not only a preacher you're a husband she says you've got to show me some time grandchildren want to hang out with poppy i'm talking about life was just smashing me down old prince called me that morning he said what's wrong what's wrong ain't nothing wrong with me man he said yeah i talk to you all the time man never heard you talking like this he said what's your problem see well since your nose and just gotta know man i feel like i'm about to break down i said i'm about to break down i said i'm about to cast this thing over and he said look i talked to a preacher all the time and he told he always say you don't jump ship you don't do part-time on this he said i don't preach i'm talking about he tell he told me he said man whenever you feel like you're in the pit get up i said well you go tell that old preacher he don't know what he's talking about he say you that old preacher he said you call and tell me to get up he says your time to get up he said there's too much work in the kingdom of god for you to be dragging your feet he said we got too much to do for you allow a situation to cause you to want to throw the flag in he said let me tell you something man he said get your i wish i could really tell you what he said [Laughter] i can't i can't he said you better get up and i said oh my god what in the world is going on let me tell you something god is not going to cast you away young man i'm trying to tell you crystal god is not going to throw you away listen to what the bible says he said let us therefore come boldly before the throne of grace that we might obtain mercy and find grace to help us in times of need i like this one for the bible says in first peter chapters five and verse number seven he said cast all your kids upon me for i carry for you so we see the confused uh the confusion of david's heart but let me show you the cry of david so i look at verse three it's right there he said consider and hear oh lord my god see see you got to understand whenever you see those two pronouns together you got to analyze them you got anal he said he said hear my heart he said he said consider and hear me o lord and look lord is all uppercase capital l capital o capital aura and capital d that makes a difference that makes oh god which i had time to show you but he said look he said he said here he said consider and hear me o lord my god enlighten my eyes lest i sleep the sleep of death look notice now in these verses david now seemed to begin to gain some control over his broken heart can i drop this in god god breaks us to build us can i say it again he breaks us to build us look look look look look his emotions seem to be coming together now they seem to be coming together his his irrational thinking seemed to be coming under control his understanding of god now began to make sense to him but notice this prayer i love this because his prayer is straightforward and to the point this prayer is neither long nor eloquent it's neither long nothing's wrong with long worded prayers nothing's wrong with that but but but a genuine prayer does not have to be long or eloquent let me tell you real prayer enters you into the throne room of god and it allows you to be able to communicate with him on the lava the other day i was at home i was in my bedroom laying and james just walked in and walked in my bedroom and he closed the door he said daddy dad i want to talk to you notice now he came from the outside to the inside and then he came right into my bedroom and he was able to sit there and talk to a good god of mine i'm trying to draw a picture let me tell you something genuine prayer is when we come from the outside to the inside and then walk right in the throne room of our god and then we can sit there and say daddy i need to tell you something you see it's really tough on this side and and my back's against the wall and and i don't know which way i'm going to turn daddy i'm struggling they're giving me a heart you can get into the throne room of god be able to talk to him just like he talked to me i wish y'all can see this notice now he used he he used the word uh uh let me tell you let me tell you about some real pareto because he says let me tell you the bible says in psalm 66 verse 18 he says if i regard iniquity in my heart the lord won't hear me can i say that again george he says if i regard iniquity in my heart he won't hear me i don't care how eloquent god of abraham isaac and jacob the eternal and everlasting god the god that was the god that he is and the god the out of that means nothing if i'm regarding iniquity in my heart for the bible says in proverbs chapter 15 and verse number 29 the lord is far from the wicked but he heareth the prayers of the righteous beloveds notice david prayed for he his emotions how many times have you prayed for your emotions david prayed for his emotions look look he prayed that the lord will enlighten his eyes notice he prayed for his enemy that he might make it through he prayed that that that what he was facing he prayed for energy to keep on keeping on he prayed watch this so he could help his heart be god-centered and not his senate beloved here it is in this prayer david has a breakthrough he no longer is focusing on himself but he is turning his eyes to the lord and he cried out with this oh lord my god can i show you something oh lord right here is jehovah is jehovah that is the self-existing god that is the god that exists all by himself all by himself jehovah look that is the god that put the moo in the cow put the height in the giraffe put the speed and the cat and the cheetah that is the dog that hung the sky who hung the moon in the sky who threw the sun up like a like a shape where if it was close up we'll burn up he hung that moon like a medallion and he set it on an axle and it turns at the precise speed that you and i can stand on that's that self-existing god that's that promise keeping god that's the god who does what he's saying he said and then he said he said oh lord and then he said my god now my god here is elohim it is the god of power it is the god of power see god had promised david that he would be the next king of israel listen to it he had promised david he said david you are going to be the next king and let me tell you something god cannot lie if god made a promise to him god cannot lie let me tell you let me tell you david's victory was going to come whether david saw it or not you better understand no way could saul had killed him because god had made him a promise no way no way david would die at the hand of saul because god had made him a comet david's victory would come if he just remembered what god said who god is and what god does see see that's where we miss it man we got to remember that we serve a god according to malachi chapter 4 who don't change we serve a god according to hebrews chapter 6 who don't lie we serve a god according to first thessalonians chapter 5 who who honors his wife and god god wants you to remember he wants you to remember and we know that all things work together for good to them that love the lord he didn't say all things would be good but he said they are working together for the good to them who love the lord boy we need to remember david prayed for his enemy get this y'all cause some of us are praying we don't pray for that old mean supervisor we don't pray for the president of our uh civic club we don't pray for our enemy we don't pray for that girl who lied on you and stab you in the back we don't pray for her but let me tell you something david prayed for his enemy some people have problems with people good god almighty david had people problems them people wanted david to die but can i tell you listen to me now watch this because i am in the school zone after you receive your assignment from god the enemy the devil gets busy can i just say that again watch it larry because after you receive your assignment from god the devil and his enemy began to march against you can i teach you something that we don't teach in the church and it's hurting our people let me tell you something the satan has a region of demons he has a region of demons and let me tell you this don't miss this don't miss this and they have assignments satan has demons that are assigned keep looking because i'm gonna make it plain i'm gonna make it live for you let me tell you something first of all you got to know that satan has a kingdom he has a kingdom and in his kingdom is his regents of demons his region of demons look at look in matthew chapter 25 matthew 25 matthew chapter 25 notice what the bible says in matthew chapter 25 the bible says every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and every city and house abided against itself shall not stand but look at verse number 26 the bible says and and if if now get the if because it's strong it says if satan casts out satan he's divided he said now if satan is walking against satan then it means that he's divine oh y'all not seen it if satan is working against satan then that means he's divided watch this that he said he's divided against himself and how then shall his kingdom stand beloveds watch this his kingdom has a purpose and his purpose is to destroy god's kingdom can i drop this in beloved you don't see demons fighting demons demons don't fight demons you you don't see demons gossiping about demons they don't gossip about one you don't see demons pulling another demon down just church folk demons don't pull demons down are y'all listen to me from genesis to revelation you see demons working together to destroy the children of god you don't believe it look he destroyed adam and eve look look look he destroyed cain and abel look look he destroyed abraham and locked he destroyed sarah and haggai he destroyed jonathan and david he destroyed paul and john mark do i need to give you some more he destroyed gas and theocrafties that's what he does he's got a region of demons to get you satan assigned demons based on the size of your mission if you got a little mission he assigns a little demon the bigger the mission the bigger the demon oh oh oh y'all looking at me funny i'm trying to ask job you remember you remember the bible said that satan was looking for somebody to get the bible say he was going to and fro and he ran up on the lord and the bible says the lord asked him he says where are you going he says to and fro looking to see look look look he was on a mission he was on a mission to go get somebody watch this and the lord asked him he said have i considered thy servant job he says for there's nothing like him he said now you let me tell you the reason he says i can sit oh let me read it because i want you to get this right look look at verse 9 then satan answered the lord and said do i fear job for north and look what he says in verse 10 thou have made a hedge about him and about his house and about all of on either side and and blessed his work and his hand and his substance is increased in the land how did how did satan know that about job how did satan know ephraim that that that that that uh when he answered he said i have made a hedge about how did he know uh there was a hedge about him how did he know can i tell you because he tried and he couldn't get in there he tried to get his children he tried to get his land he tried he tried that's how he knew he told me he said well yeah i've tried but you don't put a hedge about him you know what we ought to thank god for the hedge that he put around us we ought to think lord thank you for the heads that you put around me because if if if the truth must be told i should be dead and in my grave i don't slept with people that i don't even know they name anymore i drunk stuff come on up in here be real i've drunk stuff and don't even know i made it home but god put the hedge around you and you were able to make it in let me tell you something you've been in places you've been god put a head around me november uh february the 15th when that truck ran into the side of my truck he put a hedge around me that that boy was going so fast he was in a 2010 suburban they made him out of steel then that joker hit me going about 55 60 miles an hour hitting me on the back on the back end of the bed of my truck that tie on the side of the truck just flowed over and the truck split wide open and fire came up between the truck my head hit the front of the truck i could hear carlos saying get out get out get out i couldn't i could hear but i couldn't move she jumped out of the truck ran around the front that's how she messed up her knee trying to open that door look look look look and somebody came and helped them help me get out of the truck let me tell you something i wasn't worried about the truck i was thankful for the hedge let me tell you you know what you know what you know what you know what i could give this microphone to everybody in this place and you all could tell a story when god put a hedge around you you could tell a story say hey man if the truth must be told i shouldn't be sitting here but because of the head listen listen god the devil dispatch he dispatched and you know what they are organized demons they are organized they are working together look so david prayed for his enemy let me tell you something your enemy want you to fail when they know god has something big for you the bigger the assignment the bigger the enemy listen listen to psalms 57 verse number six he says they have prepared a net for my step are you let look look look look the devil has a pad a net you know why he wants you to step off in the in in the trap and then he'll pull it look look look look he had prepared a net for my steps my show bowed down they have dagged a ditch and then he sits and waiting to see if you're gonna fall in the ditch because that's how he what do you mean glenn what do you mean i i don't understand here's what he do there bro he'll sit there and you and james might not be saying eye to eye and then you'll get to the prison and and some of the war other wardens down there and say deborah you really look beautiful today what kind of perfume is that deborah oh my god and let me let me let me let me can i tell you what james said okay deborah look look look look can i can i can can i can i tell you what can i tell you what satan is doing he he said he said deborah you look good oh girl look at that dress and then he sits and watch to see if you go come on up in here y'all he's watch out to see if you're going to step in it this modeling career is really really good but there's gonna be some temptations that's gonna come before there ought to be some things i don't care how much they pay you i'm just not gonna do because i'm a child of god and i that where i draw the line care how good it seems no sir no sir i am a child of the king and that ditch you're digging for me dig out for yourself because i'm not about to step oh good god i wish i had time to work right here beloved you got to under center so jesus comes along and tell us how to pray for our enemy he tells us exactly what to do for our enemy look what he says in luke chapter 6 and verse number 27. here's what he said he said not now i'm not gonna stop him from digging your ditch oh y'all come on up in here he said i'm not gonna stop him from digging your ditch he says but here's what i want you to do he says number one i want you to love your enemy he says i want you to love your enemy look up number two he says i want you to do good he didn't tell you he wanted you to feel good he said i don't care how you feel i want you to do good are y'all saying this i'm not making this up it's in the text he didn't say he didn't say feel i don't care how you feel i want you to do well you don't understand he left me with four kids do good uh he left me for the secretary do good i don't understand they took my position on the job do good who it is he said number one you love your enemy secondly he says you do good to them that hate you look third he said you bless them that curse you it's in the bible are y'all saying this look look and fourthly he said and pray for them that despitefully use you oh we can see the confusion of david's heart and we see the cry of david hart but can i show you the confession of david's heart do you mind i'll take my seat but look at verse 15 verse 5 verse 5 the bible says but let me tell you something i feel like can i work right here look look look look the word butt here denotes a difference but in this text effort it means to it means more than just to make a difference it means to take a step listen to me it means but me denotes okay okay i always remember my brother and i was at the turning point and we out there having a good time and uh y'all come on come on hey y'all y'all know i'm just a for real preacher my brother sitting there and and i was too late this was before i was married this was before i was married yeah so we at the turning point just two-step and you know just to have that thing going on watch it now watch it watch it watch it watch this don't miss it so we meet two girls and we're sitting there and we look and i said i like that i like this one so we sitting at the table and da da da da da da da we just try to you know get out you kick like this all your life we're in there kicking that thing we're in that kicking so we asked them you know and she looked and she told she told me she looked at she said you know i really i really like you she said you're a nice looking guy she says i i like your cologne i like the way you're dressed she said you're a nice-looking guy she said but i like your brother better so what i'm trying to tell you is black denoted a difference she said i like you but i like him better in other words this butt means to take us oh good god y'all better see it i feel like preaching right here notice now he said black have i trust in the mercy beloved he said he said he said look look look he says i'm taking here's what david is saying i'm taking a step out of my fear into my future i'm taking a step out of my history into my destiny i'm taking a step out of darkness into the marvelous light i'm taking a step out of being down and be up i'm taking a step out of going backwards and start going some of us need to take a step step you've been down long enough you've been broke long enough you've been hard working long enough take a step you got to step out of it and when you step out of it you got to do it a tenacious i'm not gonna stay down here any longer you gotta say i'm not gonna let this alcohol keep me down i'm not gonna let come on up in here i'm leaving it alone i'm shaking it off beloved the text says that david took a step he took a step from his doubt he took a step from his fear he took a step from going backwards and says i'm going to step into the mercies of my god i don't know maybe your marriage need a step maybe your future needs a step step out of laziness and start stepping into a commitment step out of disgrace and step into grace you ought to take a step today you've been down here long enough you've been in the cellar long enough you know what you can stay down so long until it becomes the norm you think this is the way it's supposed to be you know you think you know you think you think i remember before i got these you know i had been walking around and stuff looked so normal to me and then when i got my eyes tested they say you need glasses so i got my glasses i started seeing things i said where did that come from been there all the time just couldn't see it i had got comfortable not being there a worker preacher won't even shout look look look i had got comfortable and not being able to see the things that i should have been able to see beloved i'm trying to tell somebody you need to take a step today you need john you need to take a step man and your step out not be backwards we always say all the i steps and then when god began to order the steps you say lord is that the way you order them uh oh oh somebody told me somebody told me well man i i got to be careful i got to be careful because because they said this order my steps lord order my steps and god get to all in your steps and because that's not a bit of roses you get to complaining you order your steps i remember i remember when erwin coleman transferred from chick-fil-a he was saying man i'm i said herman what are you going to do he said i'm just going to let the lord order my steps order my steps he says i'm going to let the lord order himself where the lord ordered his steps put him in an atmosphere back to where he had came from gave him a new owner and he knew everything so he leaves chick-fil-a and he goes to mcdonald's and mcdonald's is ordering his steps he thought he was gonna get one now he got four and he said lord you're gonna give me all of this he's all in your steps that's what you asked for now he's giving it to you now you want to go backwards but that ain't what he told you said lord order my steps god says god said god said he gonna order your steps as a christian let me tell you what he's gonna do just because you're a christian now you think everything is just gonna disappear it ain't hillary it ain't gonna disappear they ain't gonna go away god orders your steps he'll put so much on you till you feel like you just can't get under oh good god almighty let me give you a couple boys so much in this little text i don't run over look look look look look look he said he said but i have trusted in thy mercy david had his problem but but but but but now he's going to trust in god in spite of what he's going through you see it's easy to praise god when things are going good you can praise god when everything is falling in line and you know we could you know what i don't mean no home black folk can really praise him when things are going good we don't have no pr praise the law and you ask them and all they do how you doing oh i'm blessed and highly favored i'm blessed by oh god let me tell you something but you got to do that even when you can't even see clear you got to be able to say i'm blessed and i don't know which way my back is i don't know which way is but i'm blessed because god is going to do it let me show you why david was able to do this watch this watch this because he prayed for his salvation david learned the value of this truth he said my life might be filled with with pain and sorrow and hardship but i'mma praise the lord the word salvation here means deliverance david is praying for his deliverance watch this the bible says in proverbs chapter 30 verse five he say weeping may endure for a night but deliverance he said joy is going to come in the morning look what he says in psalm and uh and in in romans chapter 7 verse 24 he says o wretched man that i am david says who can deliver me who can deliver so david prayed for his deliverance and god delivered him but this is how he did it and i'm closing y'all i'ma let you go let me yes the process god deliver us today but look what he says he says thy have dealt boundfully with me can i tell you what that means david says you have taken care of me in the past i know you're going to take care of me in the future look what he said stephanie he says in psalms 34 verse 8 oh taste and see that the lord is good but i like this because he says for the lord is good his mercy is everlasting and his truth endure forever but when david came to himself good god almighty when david was able to recognize that god had not left him notice what he says in psalms 37 david says i've been young he says but i'm old he says i've seen a lot of things i've seen nations come down i've seen kings fall i've seen wars and rumors of what he said i've been young and now i'm old good god almighty i've seen a lot of things but there's one thing i have not seen i have not seen the righteous notice now and i love the way david says this he says i have seen a lot of things he said but i've never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed beggeth bread can i tell you when you come through all of your doubts and your fears you can look to the lord who's able to make a way out of nowhere i'm so glad today that god don't judge me based on what i've done but he's looking for me to do what i can do and i stopped by to tell somebody that you might be frustrated with your life you might believe that god has forgotten about you but don't you know he promised never to leave you never to leave you alone and that's why the old songwriter said pass me not o gentle savior hear my humble cry he said while others are calling he said do not pass me by and i like he said i'm calling your savior i'm calling your savior and you ought to call upon him today because he's just that good and his is heavy enough to hear you i'm calling your savior please don't pass me by i might miss a bus i might miss a job opportunity i might miss an uh a a a a business plan but lord don't let me miss don't let me miss you i need thee hour oh precious lord i need you i need you right now and i don't know who i'm talking to but somebody

praying keep pushing keep singing keep living we thank you so much i want to ask our secretary if she received any response we want to pray for you we want to pray for you today as we now go over those who have responded to the savior's message we have felicia butler jewel booker jeron jones gregory hubert and katherine hubert hillary smith joy taylor tashona trahan hazel swift sheri townsend kyla hill and family and charles and lolita frederick they all stand in need of prayer we have jamal augustus antonio latier jamal augustus again amber hill and lee weber they all are confessing and repenting of their sins asking god to forgive them in the church to pray for them let me tell you we don't take those confessions lightly one of the elders will give you a call we're going to pray for you but we want you to know that prayer changed things and i don't know who i'm talking to but for some reason in my spirit i feel that somebody should have responded i feel that you wanted to but the satan had encamped an angel for you to say no don't do it don't do it while our brother is leading the prayer i'm going to ask that you push the button write your statement down and allow us to call and pray with you and pray for you can i tell you you've been here long enough it's time for you to let it go i'm pleading with you to make your call in an election sure a few more days will come a few more deacons will die but the only thing that's going to matter is how you stand at the judgment bar of god if you have not been baptized for the remission of your sin the bible says he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved the bible says if you confess your sin he's faithful and just to forgive you so push that link and write it in as our brother pray for you and i promise you we'll contact you and continue to lift you up in prayer god bless you and god keep you is certainly our prayer brokeman will you direct our hearts in prayer sir let us be mindful though brother glenn thank you for always sharing the word of god the way that you do let's continue to pray for him and his family that god will continue to use him like he uses him here at the belfast church of christ let's go to god in prayer our father we come to you with our head spout just thanking you for being such a great and uh almighty and an all-knowing and and right where we need you at the right time kind of god one we can depend on one who will listen to the things that we share and we're so blessed to have that kind of god and we just pray that not any of us would take that for granted as the message was shared we just hope and trust that it will make the necessary effect on all of our lives that we will be better today than we were on yesterday we know we hear the word and and sometimes we don't always do what we need to do you ask us to do one thing and we do just the opposite and so we stand in need of a little more of your grace and a little more of your mercy and a little bit more of your forgiveness so when you see us weak lord give us the strength to be stronger so that when it's all said and done that you will get the glory help us to be better lord we come on behalf of those who acknowledged uh online that they have sin and lord we just pray that you will remember these things no more cast them in the sea of forgiveness and help us again to be better christians than we were on yesterday lord we thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to come here today and hear this wonderful message lord we need you we need you more today than we ever needed you before so give us what we stand in need of and we'll be so kind and gracious to give you all the praise be with us as we go through the rest of this week we pray and trust that we will be the ambassador that we will be that light that beacon that others will see through us that that they'll see jesus and only jesus because we're trying our very best to be that great example it's in jesus name we pray let us all say [Music] amen [Music] oh [Music] like i've done so many times before trying to be patient but i just can't take it no more i need your help i need your help i can't do this thing by myself i
