douglas in jesus mighty name hallelujah hallelujah praise glory to god hallelujah praise the lord praise the lord as we continue our theme for our new church year uh which is by my spirit saith the lord of hosts um i will be reading galatians chapter 5 verse 13 to 18. in galatians paul writes a letter to the churches in the region of glacier it's a region of asia minor or what is now known as modern-day turkey the letter to the galatian addresses both christian freedoms and christian obligations throughout the letter paul confronts those who teach the other gospel and believe that faith in christ was not enough but the jewish laws for example the need for practices such as circumcision especially for the gentiles were also necessary for salvation in chapter five of the letter paul explains that the law brings bondage but the spirit brings liberty as we live under the control of the holy spirit and they obey the leading of this spirit it will allow us to defeat the carnal and fleshly inclinations that we have and allow the spirit of god to do in us what the law cannot do so galatians 5 13 to 18 reads as us for brethren ye have been called on to liberty only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh but by love serve by love serve one another for all the love is fulfilled in one word even in this thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself but if you bite and devour one another take heed that you be not consumed one of another this i say then walk in the spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh for the flesh lusteth against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh and these are contrary the one to the other so that you cannot do the things that you would but if you be led by the spirit you are not under the law the word of the lord is blessed jesus hallelujah bless the name of jesus praise god praise god glory to god god [Music] is [Music] is [Music] is [Music] [Applause] [Music] he'll make a way is [Music] i'm glad i know he [Music] i is

make a way even when the road is hard to find we thank you father as we come before your presence in the name of jesus we give you thanks because you are god and god alone hallelujah you created the heaven and the earth and you've still got the whole world in your hand it may seem to be spinning out of control but my god you've got the last say and we thank you my god father we lift you on the highest place for you god are the great high priests we lift you high above all else hallelujah and we come to you right now we bow in your presence we we're shy of our heart we worship at your feet

family and serve each and every one who needs and comes to the house of the lord amen how many people know that the house of the lord is a blessed house it's a blessed house and we thank the lord always amen because he gives us power even in the midst of storms get your bibles i was just so blessed today amen to hear the reading of the word of the lord and the prayer that went up before god because amen it causes us to be remembered to be reminded rather that god is yet in control amen and uh we have for this ongoing theme you know for our convocation and we have established it to be the theme of for the year not by might not by power but by my spirit said the lord it ought to be our guiding light it ought to be our guiding focus amen as we navigate through this year that will be filled with trials and tests and all types of things but as we're navigating our way through it we must always remember that nothing will be accomplished in our own might nothing will be accomplished with our own power amen this that we're in now is needed what is needed is the strength of the lord amen somebody say the strength of the lord let me just say cochlear i get in the word um one of the things that is of great importance and should be important to us and i'm teaching on wednesday night i began on on this past wednesday and i invite you to come and join in this very important study amen as we reflect upon the church of the living god amen and we continue to be reminded that it is his church everybody say history amen it's his church and i i believe that i am being reminded of that um i heard a a a man his name is charles stanley you've heard me say this before as i was coming today it came to my mind he was very zealous he was a young pastor wanting to build the church one of the church to grow and he prayed and he said to the lord he said lord please take care of my family while i take care of the church and he said the lord tapped him on the shoulder said no you got it wrong you take care of your family and i will take care of my church and sometimes we have to be reminded very vigorously especially those of us in leadership that this is his church i i heard bishop done say something one time i say a lot of things but he said something he said if the church was lost you couldn't find it it's a powerful statement you know he said if the church was lost that's how how we lack the ability of god if the church was lost and we were on a mission to find it we couldn't find it because god is and will forever be in control and in charge of history amen and i said on wednesday night that is why the church if you chart the history of the church and i'm not just talking about an organization or a denomination i'm talking about the church amen that was born that came into existence that was revealed on the day of pentecost if you chart the history of that chur of this church and we we can trace our roots back to that church because we are that church this church has never lost the battle i'm gonna let that sink in this church every time it has gone and now i'm not talking about this building and those are i'm talking about the church and brethren i want us to be encouraged that you see if we're part of the church we are a victorious people if you believe it say amen amen if we are part of the church then we are victorious because jesus told us that the gates of hell were not what will never prevail against it turn with me to the gospel according to saint matthew turner between return with me to the gospel according to saint matthew i just want to re remind us of something today amen we thank god our our students are returning back to school amen i believe is it this week and this week and so we want to be mindful of them and be praying be praying for them amen and and pray for the teachers as well amen we pray for the teachers we've got teachers in our church that are serving amen the gospel according to matthew chapter number 7 and i want you to go to verse number 24 with me hallelujah matthew 7 is part of what we call the sermon on the mount begins in matthew chapter 5 continues in six and seven it is what i would describe as some of jesus's most prolific teaching call it the beatitudes in the beatitudes in the sermon on the mount he covers many things and in this focus today in chapter number 24 jesus is now going to talk about two foundations listen at this verse number 24 so now remember he is teaching and he is now coming to the conclusion of his teaching and he's saying to those of them that hear him verse number 24 whosoever hears my words now remember when jesus talks about hearing and talking about hearing the word of god we're told in the book of james that we're not only to be hearers of the word but what amen you have not heard the word until you do the word until the word of god becomes part of the fabric of our lives we are hearing yes but we're not listening and putting into practice those things that we have heard amen that is why the times that we're living in i'm not i'm not saying that god is not going to give us no fresh word and no fresh revelation system that's what i'm saying it's not what i'm saying what i'm saying to you today what god is doing now is reminding us of what we already know so i need a new word i need a fresh word go back and read what we've already read and because what god now is doing is reminding us of what we already have been known amen amen amen nothing new i heard one preacher say if it's new is not true and if it's true is not new is that right right now he is saying if you hear my words hear them and you apply them into your life hallelujah amen he said if you listen and hear and the word of god becomes part of the fabric of your life he said listen what i'm going to do i will liken you unto a wise man a wise woman a wise person watch the progression the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom so a wise person is one who is attentive to the word of god amen brethren the bible said is only the fool that says there is no god but you see a wise person understands that god is very much present in our life if you hear my words jesus said put them into practice if they the word apply you see when we talk about application we're not talking about just hearing application is the doing is the walking out of the word amen in other words the word of god are principles laws and statutes laws to be obeyed principles to be applied and if we apply the principles of god's word we will have success oh somebody who believes that say amen amen i said i i was it here i i speak so many places i think it was here um when you listen as i do from time to time listen to motivational speakers amen people like zig ziglar john maxwell and there are many and they're teaching these principles and charging people to come my god they're charging you 500 pounds a day to come but when you drill down to what they are saying is the word of god amen i've heard millionaires people who have money sister oprah is one let me just claim her for the kingdom they're not trying to obey bible but hear what a rich man man's going to say in order to get give people who don't know they're not saved but they are multi-millionaires and they will talk to you about giving and when you drill down to what they're saying is what we have been taught in the word of god is that right somebody say amen jesus says if you listen to what i'm saying to you and if you hear what the spirit is saying to the church amen this is what jesus said i will liken you unto a wise man which built his house upon a what upon a rock my god in heaven saints of god i'm not going to be before you long today where would we be right now if when we had first come to christ we had not built our hope upon a rock just think about where we you know you know brethren you know what is keeping us right now is foundational principles you know hallelujah somehow somewhere aren't you glad i know i know i'm a little older now so forgive me but i've reached a point in my life where i'm looking back and saying god i thank you for the teaching that i got because right now hallelujah glory to god you see when you when you build upon a when you build upon the rum it's not that you won't stray you know hallelujah can i teach you a little bit it's not that you won't stray but the word that's in you would be a boundary come on sometimes the very spirit that you're trying to walk away from is reminding you dexter there's a line over which you cannot go it's not you keeping yourself you know but because you have built your house you have built your faith upon a rock lord jesus have mercy jesus said i will liken you to a man who built his house upon a rock lord jesus let me see the hand of those who you thank god you're built upon a rock now come on verse number 25 where have we built our faith my hope is built on nothing less than what jesus that's where you have built your hope you did not build your hope upon a man you did not build your hope upon an organization you did not build your hope upon a creed you built your hope upon jesus christ watch this now verse number 25 and the rain descended my god are you reading what i'm reading and what came and the floods came and what happened and the winds blew and what happened it beat upon the house but what happened what did not happen it fell not why because it was founded upon iraq glory to god hallelujah saints we have all experienced rain in our life am i teaching all right is there anybody in this church today that since you've walked with jesus no rain has come to your life not only rain if it was just raining with a bad and there's a bed but we have had to go through rain and the wind has blown oh god i'm trying to help somebody here today i'm trying to help somebody here today and the wind has blown my god and the wind was sometimes you you have contrary winds look at what happened the winds blew the rains descended the floods came the winds blew and did what beats peed upon the house beat upon the house beat upon the house the rain came the winds blew and did what beat up on the hound sometimes it beat so hard until you just feel like you were beat up amen have you ever been so beaten up that you got weak you just feel like you just can't take any more hallelujah just be just beat but even though the winds blew even though the floods came even though the rain descended beat upon the house but here is the beautiful thing about it the house didn't fall down hallelujah we're standing saints because we have been built upon the rock hallelujah the rock the rock is jesus christ the rock is jesus amen and that's what jesus has built his church upon he has built his church upon the rock and as you chart the history of the church you will see the rain has come hallelujah the first thing enemy tried to do was kill the founder of the church jesus christ but jesus had to tell them unless we let's a seed go into the ground and die it abideth alone but you see when that seed begins to grow jesus died one man died to give the whole world eternal life for which we give him thanks hallelujah jesus rose from the dead the bible said the disciples followed him as far as bethany they were told to go to jerusalem where they would be endued with power from an eye that's the holy spirit now so the holy spirit now is the life of the church amen the holy spirit is the life breath of the church amen that's why the spirit of god visits the church and gives us life amen we mustn't quench the spirit we must thank god for the holy spirit amen and we must praise god like the spirit of god is alive in us huh amen amen i know that we are we're living in a time now we have all these restrictions but we must never let the restrictions stop us from praising god hallelujah we must be wise but we must never let anything stop us from praising god amen because the anointing of the the anointing of the lord the spirit of god the saints of god that's why we must ensure that at a time like today that we're living in that we must be assured of the spirit of god thank god for the spirit thank god for the anointing hallelujah hallelujah sometimes in the middle of the week sometimes you're in a city you're not even in church you're not even in a church atmosphere but you feel the
