Ezekiel 35: Why You Don't Want to Be Hateful, Envious or Spiteful | Pastor Roger Jimenez

st. pray amen amen all right well we're there in ezekiel 35 and we are just making our way through the book of ezekiel on wednesday nights and we find ourselves here in chapter number 35 now this is not a long chapter it's 15 verses and there's a very succinct point and I don't think it'll take very long to make it so we'll just make the point and there's an easy color role long and they go in depth this is not one of them so I want you to notice what the Bible is saying here look at verse 1 is Eagle 35 in verse 1 moreover the world Lord came unto me saying son of man set thy face against Mount Seir now he's teaching us to preach against he's preaching against mountains here but of course he's talking about the people that live in mountains here this is Edom and I won't take the time to develop all the verses but these are the descendants of Esau these are people that have been enemies of God's people since the beginning really he says set thy face against Mount Seir and prophesy against and is saying to it thus saith the Lord God behold o Mount Seir again referring to the people I notice these words Jesus this is quite quite the words that I don't think any of us would ever want God to say about us he says I am against thee and I will stretch out my hand against thee and I will make the most desolate I will lay thy cities wastes and thou shalt be desolate and I also know that I am the Lord now of course if you've been with us through the Book of Ezekiel you know that these first four verses are not unique to the Book of Ezekiel there's many passages in Ezekiel where God is just talking about his judgment and bringing judgment down upon people what's interesting about this chapter is the way it's laid out he tells us that God says I'm against Mount Seir I want to destroy him out here I'm gonna make you desolate I'm gonna stretch out my hand against you and then verse 5 he's tells us why and he's told us this before in other places but he makes it very clear here he says because he says because thou hast and here's what I want you to notice and what I want you to understand is that these people these this people of ado Mia the Mount Seir whatever you want to call them all these names apply to them they were a certain type of people and these are the type of people that I call just negative people people you just that are you ever been around someone they're just neg everything's always just- it's not good nothing's positives going on in life everything's bad these are those types of people that they were notice how God describes it for us he tells us that these people first of all he tells us that they were hateful he says the people of Mount Seir were hateful people and here's what I want you to understand today are the word hate has become a bad word and you're in here's what you know in the Bible the word hate is not necessarily a bad word the Bible tells us that there are certain things we ought to hate Ecclesiastes tells us that there is a time to hate the Bible says in Psalm do not I hate them O Lord that hate thee so to hate something is not necessarily a bad thing because the truth is this you can't truly love anything unless you hate certain things if you say well I love everything then you love nothing because in order to love the truth you have to hate lies you know in order to love children you have to hate those who would hurt children so you can't love everything so being the word hate or the feeling of hate in the Bible is not necessarily a negative thing but here's what is a bad thing is to just be a hateful person where you just kind of hate everything in fact the Bible tells us that we're supposed to love everything the only thing we're supposed to hate as far as people are reprobates are the enemies of the Lord are those who hate God but you know you're supposed to love your neighbor you're supposed to love your enemies you're supposed to love your brothers and sisters in Christ so God does not want us to be hateful people but notice how he describes these in verse 5 he says because thou has had all hatred the word perpetual means their kin it means continually or constant just a constant hatred and has shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity in the time that their iniquity had an end so I want you to notice that these people were hateful people but that's not it not only were they hateful people but they were envious people and it's interesting that we find ourselves in e-z-go 35 on Sunday I just preached a whole sermon on and we preached that sermon tonight but it comes up in the text notice verse 10 because thou has said these - nay now what nations are being referred to here I believe that the nation's being referred to as definitely the nation of Israel but I think is referring to both the southern kingdom and the northern kingdom he's talking about the entire kingdom of the nation of Israel he's saying these two nations and these two countries notice what the people of Edom said they said shall be mine is it now it wasn't mine but it's something I wanted it's something I envied after it's not jealousy because it didn't belong to them if it belonged to them and they were jealous over it that would be a justifiable thing these people were envious of these countries and they wanted them they said these two nations and these two countries shall be mine and we will possess it whereas the Lord was there so I want you to notice not only were these people hateful they were also envious but I'd like you to know that's thirdly tonight just as we kind of go through this they were also slanderers notice what it says in verse 11 therefore as I live saith the Lord God I will even do according to thine anger and according to thine Envy and there's the word Envy by the way which thou has used out of thy hatred against them and I will make thyself known among them when I have Judge Zee now we're gonna come back to verse 11 here in a minute but notice verse 12 and thou shalt know that I am the Lord and that I have knows what he says heard all thy blasphemy so he said these people they weren't just hateful in their feelings and and of course that produced actions they weren't just envious when they wanted these two nations that did not belong to them but they wanted to possess them they were also slanders they were people who spoke evil of others it says that they were having blasphemies notice which thou has spoken against the mountains of Israel he said you were speaking against the people of Israel to consume so we see that they were slanders notice verse 13 as well notice what he says thus with your mouth you have boasted against me and I've multiplied your words against me I have heard them so here's what we learned the were hateful people they were envious people they were slanders but not only that they were also spiteful notice verse 5 because those had a perpetual hatred where we talked about that knows what says and has shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword so they had attacked the children of Israel and had killed them but notice when they did it in the time of their calamity in the time of their that their iniquity had an end so they took advantage and they exploited a situation here where the children of Israel were under attack by another enemy the were not formidable enough to be able to destroy them or attack them but they sure were gonna kick them while they were down they were going to attack them and they were gonna kill them in the time of their calamity look at verse 14 thus saith the Lord God when the whole earth rejoices I will make the desolate and we're going but notice what he says verse 15 as thou didst rejoice I want you to just notice that these people are spiteful people as thou that's reduced at the inheritance of the baha of the house of Israel notice why are they rejoicing why are they happy because it was desolate so what I do unto thee thou shalt be desolate o Mount Seir and all I do mia even all of it and they shall know that I am the Lord so notice they were rejoicing because they were desolate you know the Bible says in first Corinthians 13 it says that charity rejoices not in iniquity but rejoices in the truth here these people they were rejoicing in iniquity they were rejoicing and those these are negative people they're hateful they're spiteful they're slanderers they're envious and here's the truth you know people like this some of you're married to people like this you know some of you were raised by people like this you go to work with people like this you go to church unfortunately with people like this just negative negative people people that they're just there's always drama around them there's always problems around them there is not just look from time to time all of us will have a problem or natio with one person but their's is the type of people where they just have a problem with everybody they have issues with everybody let me tell you something when you have issues with everybody you're the problem you're the when you're when it's like well I got a problem with the pass of wife I've got a problem with this person I got a problem with the pastor I got a problem with that person I got one look if you're the common denominator then you're the problem because most people don't live their lives like this but there are people there are people that are negative people just spiteful just angry just hateful slanders boasters braggers people who speak evil and you say well what is the point what is it that God is trying to tell us and here's the point that God's trying to tell us and keep your finger there in EASYGO 35 and like I said it's only 15 verses there's just one real clear point that I'll make tonight but I'd like you to notice what the Bible says in the book of Galatians keep your finger there in ezekiel 35 go to galatians Matthew Mark Luke John Matthew Mark Luke John acts Romans first second viennese galatians you say what is the point that God is making in this chapter because he's already preached against the a lot in Ezekiel and he's gonna preach about them some more as we go forward what is the point of this chapter what is the point of this passage that it's given us and here's what he's trying to tell us he's trying to tell us why you and look this is Ezekiel talking to hateful angry slandering envious spiteful people but the message is for you and you say who for who for those of you that are not slanders and hateful or envious in spiteful but are thinking of or considering or going down that road he's saying look here's why you don't want to be hateful here's why you don't want to be envious here's why you don't want to be a slander here's why you don't want to be spiteful here's what you don't want to be the you know the drama mama right where it's just there's always drama there's always issues there's always problems you say why don't I want to be that person here's why and here's the whole point if you don't listen to the rest of the sermon just make sure you understand this from a 0:35 you don't want to be this person because what goes around comes around and this is what he teaches this is what he says now this is actually a biblical principle this we've all heard that phrase before right what goes around comes around what goes around comes around and that's a worldly type phrase but it there is a spiritual law that kind of goes with that idea of what goes around comes around let me show it to you Galatians chapter 6 looking for 7 Galatians chapter 6 verse 7 you know these verses but let's look them together Galatians 6:7 be not deceived look you're only deceiving yourself God is not mocked notice what he says for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap here's what he says he says you can't plant something without reaping something you can't invest into something without receiving that back he says for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap now here's the great thing about the law of reaping and sowing is that it's it's neutral it's not positive or negative it's both it can be used against you in a negative way but it can be leveraged by you in a positive way notice verse 8 for he that soweth to his flesh and look this is what we're talking about when we're talking about people and you know them people are just hate all the time wrathful all time slandering all the time gossiping all the time having drama all the time he's what he's saying he's saying look these people also it's you in a second these people are living in the flesh if they carnal life we're talking about if they're Christians if they're saying it's living in the flesh and here's what he says in Galatians 6:8 here's what Paul would say 2,000 years ago for he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption he says look nothing good comes from living a carnal life nothing good comes from living in the flesh he says look if you sow in the flesh you're gonna reap but what you're gonna reap is corruption notice but he that saw it - the spirit you say well what does it mean to walk in the spirit we're going to look at it here in a minute but you know if you remember just from a few weeks ago from our Holy Spirit series look the works of the flesh are manifest which are these right and it's all those negative things adultery fornication uncleanness lasciviousness the fruit of the Spirit love joy peace long-suffering gentleness goodness faith meekness temperance and here's what he's saying when you sow in the spirit when you live your life in a way that's loving that's charitable that's kind that's a positive he says when you saw in this period you saw he says he that sought to the spirit shall of the Spirit reap notice what he says life everlasting now people like to take that verse and try to teach that oh the way you live your life depends on has some sort of a determining factor on your salvation and obviously we can just prove that a million different ways from the Bible I want you to understand when it says here that if you sow in the spirit you'll reap life everlasting what he's saying is that you'll reap things that you can benefit of in everlasting life that you can benefit from in a spiritual sense he says when you sow in corruption in your flesh you reap corruption when you sow spiritually you will reap everlasting life but here's the point the point is this that the Bible teaches that what goes around comes around the Bible teaches that which you yet you will reap what you some things and it really depends on the type of things that you give out when you give out negativity hatred slander spitefulness' ugliness just criticism and being angry and wrathful and drama God says all you're gonna get back is those things but when you give in friendship then you will get back those things I go back to Ezekiel 35 let me show you how he says it now do me a favor keep your place in Galatians 6 because we're gonna come right back to it here in a minute we're gonna come back to Galatians but I want you to notice how he breaks this down for the when he refers to them or when he talks to them about why you don't want to be hateful and envious and angry and a slanderer and spiteful he says look when you are hateful hateful nests will follow you when you are angry anger will follow you when you are negative negativity will follow you notice verse 6 is equal 35 or 6 therefore as I live saith the Lord God I will prepare thee unto blood he says you shed blood so I'm gonna prepare you on to blood notice what he says and blood shall pursue thee you say what because what goes around comes around so if you want to take advantage of the children of Israel when they're under attack and kill them God says that's fine just realize that blood shall pursue thee now notice this word sift s ith it's an old word it means since is that since thou has not hated blood he said you didn't hate violence you didn't hate hatred you didn't hate negativity he says since though is not hated a blood notice even blood shall pursue thee because what you say when you shed blood then it's gonna pursue you when you're hateful hateful nough swill pursue you when you're violent violence will pursue you when you're angry and we're gonna talk about there is a such thing as righteous indignation and righteous anger obviously Jesus was angry at times the Bible says be angry and said not but here's the truth matter if you're honest and I'm honest you know that most of time when we are angry it is in the flesh there is no such thing as righteous indignation but most of the time it's in the flesh and here's what he said when we are allow ourselves to live in that carnal life it shall pursue thee and here's here's what teens understand if you're taking notes just write this down when you are hateful hateful this will follow you when you are angry anger will follow you when you are violent violence will follow you when you shed blood blood will pursue you thus will I make Mount Seir desolate and cut off from it him that passes out and him that returned it and I will fill his mountains with his slain men in my hills and in the valleys and in all thy rivers shall they fall that are slain with the sword notice verse 9 I will make thee remember they had a perpetual hatred God says well your perpetual hatred is going to turn into perpetual desolation you say why because when you make others desolate you will become desolate because what goes around comes around and you can't get away from it because it is a spiritual it is a biblical law that you will reap what you sow I will make thee a perpetual desolation the word desolation means barren laid waste destitute and thy cities shall not return and you shall know that I am the Lord because thou has said these two nations and these countries shall be mine and we will possess it whereas the Lord was there notice verse 11 therefore as I live saith the Lord God notice and again I'm just trying to show you he's he's trying to tell us here's why you don't want to be negative here's why you don't want to be hateful and critical and angry a slanderer and a gossip and a drama person here's why you don't want these things because what goes around comes around because you reap what you sow and God says God says and I will make sure of it notice verse 11 therefore as I live saith the Lord God I will even do according to that angle don't miss him God says I will see how you treated others I will see how you dealt with others I will see your negativity to others and I will even do according to thine anger now look if God says I'm gonna do to you according to your anger then I want my anger to be pretty calm if God's gonna do to me according to my wrath then I want my wrath to be kind of gentle if God's gonna do to me according to my strife then I then I want to stand up for righteousness and I want to do right and I want to be truthful and walk with God but you know what when I have the opportunity to be spiteful towards someone to take advantage of someone to be angry to someone then I want to do that in the most gentle and loving way you say why because when God has to judge me I want him to be gentle with me I want him to be create gracious and patient with me and he says I will even do according to thine anger notice and according to thine Envy which thou has used out of thy notice these words hatred against them I will make myself known among them when I have judged thee and here's what he's saying here's what he's telling the and here's reselling you and he's already telling me you don't want to be hateful you say why because when you are hateful hateful nares will follow you God says I guarantee it he says in fact I will make sure that you are done according to your env according to your anger according to your criticism according to your critical spirit according to your bad attitude God says look what goes around it comes around so you say well I don't I don't wanna be hateful why because when you're hateful hateful Ness will follow you but there's a second thing notice because remember they weren't only hateful and they were only envious they were also slanders you say well why don't you want to slander why don't you want to speak evil of people why don't you want to be a gossip why don't you want to be someone who's constantly criticism and critical of everything that's happening here's why because when you slander here's what he says when you slander god hears it oh no and I am the lord knows what he says and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou has spoken against the mountains of Israel saying they are laid desolate they are given us to consume thus with your mouth yet boasted against me and have multiplied your words against me don't miss this I have heard them you say pastor Jimenez why don't you want to why would I not want a gossip against somebody you know if they don't hear me well here's the problem God hears you why would you not want to speak evil against someone because God hears you why wouldn't I just want to criticize the church and criticize the pastor and criticize everything that's going on you know what I may never hear you although you'd be surprised what I hear but you but I know this God hears you and God says that it doesn't matter if the children of Israel ever heard the slander and they speaking evil and the criticism God said I heard it and I will make sure that it comes back upon you why because when you're hateful hateful news will follow you and when you're slander people god hears it and at the end of the day than that who should we who we should be concerned with is God go to Matthew chapter 12 this is not just something he's ego top two something found throughout scripture we go to a lot of pastors just I'll just give you one Matthew chapter 12 Luke verse 36 first book in the New Testament should be fairly easy to find Matthew chapter 12 verse 36 but I say unto you this is Jesus speaking if you have a red-letter Edition Bible these words are in red because these are actually words that came out of his mouth but I say unto you notice what he says that every idle word that men shall speak they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment don't miss that God says that you say how's this all gonna play out ah so I'm worried I'm not I don't know I'm not really sure how it's all gonna work out I just know this that God said that Jesus said that every idle word that men shall speak they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment now that that may be like the the the actual judgment I doubt it but I I think this just means that God's gonna judge you here on earth and in that day of judgment you're gonna give an account for every idle word notice verse 37 for by thy words shall not be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned and here's all I'm trying to tell you and here's the only reason I'm having a go to this passage because here's what you got to know everything you say everything you say God hears it and whether anybody else hears it whether anybody else becomes aware of it God hears it and here's what God says God says you don't want to be hateful you don't want to be negative you don't want to be critical you don't want to be spiteful you don't want to be this drama mama this dramatic person this person that's always got issues and always got probably you say what well here's why because when you're hateful hateful Innis will follow you and when you slander when you speak evil God hears it and God says I will make sure that what goes around comes around because you do reap what you sow it's not just that go back to 0 35 remember they were spiteful spiteful meaning that they just wanted to take advantage they saw an opportunity they took it they saw that someone went down I said well I would have never confronted them face to face but now that they're on the ground let me go ahead and kick him a few times right that was the attitude and here's what God says when you're spiteful it comes back to you he's equal 35 verse 14 thus saith the Lord God when the whole earth rejoice if I will make the desolate now did rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate notice what he says so will I do unto thee he said you rejoiced when they failed God says I'll rejoice when you fail God says I will make sure that what you put out comes back to you I will make sure that you reap what you sow I will make sure that what goes around comes around he says so will I do unto thee thou shalt be desolate o mount seir and all it do mia even all of it and they shall know that i am the lord now go back to galatians have you kept your place there you we were just in Galatians 6 go to Galatians chapter 5 just one just one page back Galatians chapter 5 and I want you to notice what the Bible says in verse number 19 Galatians chapter 5 and I'm actually gonna turn there myself because I want you to see these verses I didn't put all these verses there Galatians 5 look at verse 19 notice what he says he says now the works of the flesh are manifest he was really saying and remember that in the book of Galatians he's talking to believers he's not gonna save people but he's talking to people that have been walking in the flesh cuz look just because you're saying doesn't mean you're spiritual you could be a carnal Christian and here's what he's saying he's saying we will know we will be able to see when you are a carnal Christian walking in the flesh he says now the works of the flesh are manifest he says they can be seen so how can they be seen here's other see he says now the works of flesh are manifest which are these adultery fornication uncleanness lasciviousness idolatry witchcraft but don't go miss this hatred oh I was talking about godly hatred no it's in the list of the works of the flesh this is negative hatred just being a hateful person hatred variance emulations wrath strife seditions heresies notice we're so I want envyings murders drunkenness look at those word revellings that's rejoicing in iniquity and suchlike and here's the thing some of you here this is your life it's just hatred and rot and strife and envying and revellings it's never about the great things that are happening at church it's always about all the bad things that are happening well I think pastors should do this I don't think we should do that and I think it's funny everybody thinks they know how things should go it's not positive it's not a path you're just kind of a negative person it's just your life is just kind of characterized by these word hatred right strife and being reveling you say well what's wrong we thought with that if you want that coming back to you because the reason that you don't want to live your life in a critical way is because what goes around comes around maybe those look you can be a Christian and live your life in this critical critical negative angry way if you want to walk in the flesh he says if you want to live in the flesh but notice the contrast verse 22 you're there in Galatians five verse 22 but the fruit of the Spirit ask yourself does these words characterize my life love joy peace long-suffering gentleness goodness faith meekness temperance against such there is no law these are two different pictures of two different people one is characterized by love joy peace long-suffering gentleness goodness faith one is characterized by positive just a positive life a joyful life the type of people you like to be around they're like the type of people that you enjoy to be around the type of people that encouraged you along the way the type of you we will that once you spend time with them you think man I'm just encouraged I'm just uplifted by being with this person here's the question I have for you are you that person are you the hatred anger clamor slander evil speaking and here's how I'm telling you if that's you be careful you don't want to be that person you say why because what goes around comes around because you will reap what you sow you say okay so what what do we do what's the point where there in Galatians go to Ephesians and look if your life sounds like that I'm not mad at you I'm trying to help you I'm not mad at you why would I be mad that your life stinks I feel bad for you I feel bad for the person married to you I feel bad for the person that's got to be raised by you I'm just trying to help you look the Christian life should be a joyful life do we have problems we have struggles do we have battles do we have issues that we deal with in tribulation of course we do but look we should be able to go through those things and have the joy of the Lord as our strength but when you live your life in the flesh it's just- it's not attractive and there's nothing attractive about it and sometimes we think like oh people don't want the guys we'll be good you know sometimes people don't want the gospel because of you something your my family won't hear the gospel am I'm just beating your families looking at you and thinking I'm with that that's Christianity I'm good just drama problems criticism criticalness say well what do we do here's what we do fusions 431 notice what he says Ephesians 4:31 here's what Paul said here's what--look here's what I need to do here's what you need to do here's what all of us because here's the point none of us are spiritual all the time none of us are walking in the spirit at all time none of us are having the fruit of the Spirit all the time we all from time to time we'll have this tendency to want to walk in the flesh and when we walk in the flesh our lives will be characterized by envy hatred variance wrath slandering evil speaking all of us can do it you say well what do I do when I find myself there easy ap features 4 3 1 notice what he says let all bitterness all of it I want you think about that you didn't say let all bitterness that is not justified he says let all bitter as a bath repentance if you knew my story look if I knew your story I'd agree with you I'll have a rough lives I'm not minimizing what you've gone through you say well I'm out about marriage you know what people have bad marriages I had a bad upbringing people have bad upbringing and I'm not minimizing and I'm not trying to say that you haven't gone through issues you haven't gone through promptly here's what I'm telling you that God do you who you were and what you've gone through and God says let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor this is loud up roars and evil speakings that's your slander your gossip that's what he says he says be put away from you and I want you to notice that phrase be put away from you when you look at the underlying words that our King James translators translated as be put away from you when you find those same words throughout the rest of the Bible and see how they how our King James translators also translated that phrase in Ephesians 4:31 they translated it as be put away from you and that's a great transfer fect translation it's God's perfect word I just want you to understand so you kind of understand what they were thinking when they did that they they translated the same words in other places in our King James Bible as be taken away or be thou removed and the idea is this that you it's kind of like when you the trash can in your house I don't know where you keep your trash can we keep a big trash can in our kitchen it's kind of when that trashcan is over filling I feel like I take that trash out four times every day I mean when I don't know how your family is but I guess six kids there's always trash any trash this is kind of over for is it kinda disgusting kind of yucky you look at it it's just kind of full you know sometimes the kids are just throwing stuff and it's like nobody you know isn't it see it's overflowing and you think what do you do with that I mean do you want to sit there and eat with that trash can just kind of overflowing what Oh what you do is what every sensible adult would do is you pick up that bag you take it out you drop it off you have it be thou removed you remove it because it's kind of stinky because it's kind of yucky because it's kind of ugly because you kind of don't want to live like that and that's the idea he said he says all the bitterness the wrath the anger the clamor trash he says put away from you he says let it be taken away he says be thou removed with all malice and look here's all I'm telling you here's I'm telling yous do you really want to live like this your whole life where you're just kind of always upset you're always angry you're always finding something wrong with something there's never it's never good enough it's never right it's never good there's never something good going on in your life it's just always negative it's always bad you're always down and god says look you don't have to live that way so what do I do just put it out just just put it in a trash bag and put it look some of you literally need to go home tonight and say you know what I'm just the bitterness isn't coming in the angry isn't kind I've been critical of my spouse and I just criticize and criticize and criticize and I never tell them they're doing anything right they're always drunk I'm gonna leave that out I'm gonna allow that to be the room I know that I'm always angry at my children upset with my children I don't want to live like that I don't want kids remember me that way so I'm just gonna throw that out I'm just gonna put it away from me and from you notice the contrast versa once you put it away here's what happens and be kind one to another tender-hearted that's it though those two verses just sound like two different people but all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and evil speaking be put away with all malice to get rid of it you don't need it don't live like that you say why would I want to live like that because look when you're here full hatefulness follows when you slander God hears it when you're spiteful it will come back to you and I don't know about you but I'd rather live my life this way be kind one to another tender-hearted forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you he says look you can live your life in a positive way so I'm just I'm just telling you you don't have to live that it doesn't think it's tiring just be angry all the time upset all the time some of you dads and I look I'm not trying to offend you I mean you know I always offend you you just you just live your life with that short fuse you know and it's just kind of like you're just always just ready to blow up and those kids no matter what they do you're always bad give me one live like that forever you really want your kids to grow up and remember you that way look I don't know about you I just I don't want my kids to grow up and I'll never say it to my face but I want them to grow up and say man the thing about that is you kind of always have to just kind of walk around you know be careful cuz he was always just ready to blow up I don't want the memories that my kids have with me and my wife is yeah I've I remember that one time and they really got into it that one time I don't want them to remember us fighting I want you know I'm thankful for my parents my I can honestly tell you this and I know my parents aren't perfect obviously and they've had I'm sure they had issues in that fight I can tell you this when they fought we never saw it I have a lot of memories of my parents just laughing together that's what I want for my kids that's what I want for you so some of you need to just let it go just put it away just throw it away you say why here's why and here's the point because what goes around comes around because you will reap what you say what you sow go back to Galatians chapter 6 looking for seven we'll finish up right here Galatians chapter six verse 7 galatians chapter ii 4:7 says be not deceived God is not mocked for whatsoever man so that is for he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting verse 9 he says here's what can happen here's what your two choices here's what you can decide and then he says in verse 9 he says here's what I hope you'll decide and let us not be weary in well-doing you say why we just told us for in due season we shall reap if we faint not you say pastor Jimenez I've been that person I've been that angry wife I've been that route full husband I've been that just on edge dad I've been that terrible church member I've been that terrible mom I've been that negative critical drama mama person well look put it away and let us not be weary in well-doing because here's what I know here's what I know what goes around comes around and you will reap negative but if you begin to sow well doing if you begin to sow words of encouragement if you begin to sow attitudes of love if you begin to sow positive things he says let us not be wearing while doing for in due season we shall reap if we faint not and here's all I'm telling you when you start to live in a positive way what goes around will eventually come around and you will reap if you faint not so let's throw it away let's bow our heads and have a word of Prayer Heavenly Father thank you Lord for your word thank for the Bible Lord I pray that you'd help us look because from time to time we all walk in the flesh but Lord some of us are just negative people we're just critical we're always upset nothing's ever good enough and there's always something to criticize no I just thought you'd help us to wake up help us to realize it we don't have to live like that we don't have to live that way and it truly is as simple as making a choice and throwing it away removing it from our lives and beginning to reap good things beginning to so good things that we could reap with things we love you lord I pray you to help us Lord I pray you'd help me
