few moments down the road our staff here at salem have taken time out to mark off in the sanctuary everyone should sit should be a green dot right where you are if there's not a green dot at your back you're sitting in the wrong spot should be greened out that this area we're sitting on every other pew to space ourselves out now if you're living in the same house together y'all can stay hooked up in the same house together that's fine if you're not we're trying to keep everybody safe and secure amen we asked if if i was at your house i would do what you told me to do i i i went to a city and there were some foreigners that i was with the rules was that when you enter their house you take your shoes off i didn't like it but it was their house so when i stepped up on the step i took my shoes off they ate dinner sitting in the floor i did that when i was a child and i said i ain't sitting on no float eating but i was at their house they know what i did i ate on the floor because it was their house and so we asked that you as you come into the lord's house let's govern ourselves according make sure you keep your mast on your whole face on your nose and mouth i know you've got faith you're saved you're sanctified god is going to take care of you but since you in this house keep it home and keep your mast on i certainly appreciate you doing that amen if you all agree with me

revelations chapter 2 verses 1 through 7 and try if you can to keep your bibles open this morning as we walk through these passages unto the angel of the church at ephesus right these things and he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks i know that works and our labor and our patience and how thou cannot bear them which are evil they have tried them which say they are apostles and are not and found them liars and it's bored and has patience and for my name's sake has labored and has not fainted nevertheless i have somewhat against thee because thou has left thou first love remember that from which thou art fallen and repent and do the first work or else i will come unto thee quickly and will remove thou call stakes out of his place except thou repent for this thou hast that thou hate the deeds of the nicolaitans which i also hate he that has an ear let him hear what the spirit said unto the churches to him that overcome will i give to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of god the honeymoon is over the honeymoon it's over shouted with me one time the honeymoon is over thank you so much stay with me if you will john the pension of this particular text walked through this text to give us holy helpful hints to help us understand how life for us used to be and how it is now if you notice how he addressed this letter he opened by saying unto the angel of course there are many many angels mentioned in the scripture some angels are named some angels just appear they are special assignments that god give to special angels god has a word angel a war angel and a worshiping angel when god got ready to say to elizabeth that in your old age you're going to bring forth a son and you would call his name john he used an angel called gabriel but god said to mary you are highly favored you will bring forth the savior of the world forget that to get that message to mary he used an by the name of gable when there was war in heaven in revelations chapter 12 verses 7 through 12 the bible says there's a war in heaven and michael fought with the dragon the devil satan lucifer and was victorious that was an angel called michael he had a working he had a war angel he had a word angel but he had a worship and angel his name was lucifer lucifer however got beside himself decided he wanted his throne to be above the throne of god so in isaiah chapter 14 the bible say that god kicked him out of heaven and a third of the angels came with him and when god fired lucifer for being the worshipping angel he gave his job to us so that now whenever you worship god satan get mad with you because you remind him of the job he once had all through the bible you see angels when abraham was well stricken in age too old to have a child a father child god sent him a message by an angel and says to abraham you will be blessed more or more numerous than the sands of the sea the message came by an angel when jacob was running from his brother esau trying to get away god caught him late one night with an angel an angel wrestled with jacob all night long turn around and start having dreams with angels descending and us singing because god uses his angels when daniel was caught in the lion's den it looked like it was all over for him but the next morning when the king came to the mouth of the den he hollered through the mouth of the dean daniel are you still in there daniel holland back so king live forever he said what happened he said late last night an angel showed up and locked the jaws of the lion's mouth and men hungry lion slept all night long when jesus was born at bethlehem angels relocated the choir and start singing a song glory to god peace on earth good will toward men they were angels and then of course when jesus had fasted 40 days and 40 nights it was afterwards hunker the bible said angels came and ministered unto jesus when jesus went in the garden of gethsemane to drink of the bitter cup the bible said angels came and ministered unto him when jesus rose on the third day when mary magdalene other mary's came to the sepulcher they saw two angels one sitting at jesus head the other at his foot saying who i seek he living among the dead he's not here come see the place where the lord lay and then of course when they tried to arrest jesus the bible said they came to arrest him that's in that's in matthew chapter 26 verse 53 they came and peter took out his sword to fight them and the lord said to peter put up your sword i don't need your help he said if i wanted to i could pray to my father and he would send more than 12 legions of angels that would come and do business for me now legion of angel is six thousand twelve legends arrangers is seventy two thousand angels jesus says to peter i have more than seventy two thousand angels that's at my beck and call talk to me somebody i was interested in knowing how powerful an angel was so i went over in isaiah chapter 37 verse 36 he said one angel took out 185 000 people just one angel jesus got seven to two thousand angels if one angel could take out a hundred and eighty five thousand seventy two thousand angels could they take out thirteen billion three hundred twenty million folk that's more people that's on the planet jesus i got angels at my disposal i should say to us before move on we too have been assigned angels because psalms 911 the lord gave his angel charles to keep watch over you that means everywhere you go you have an angel assigned to you preacher you ought to feel better knowing that you at least have an angel that's watching over when thieves attempt to break in your house and take your garments and your items and your things out of the house or take your life they run into an angel that's why the songwriter said all day and all night angels keep watching over me old lady it was was in trouble at a house she didn't have any funds to pay her for her wrench no utility she had no food in the house she didn't know what she was going to do she thought she was going to get set out at any moment and when you got a lot of stuff on your mind it's hard to rest she got around two o'clock one morning and had one of those old timey washing machines and she decided to wash a load of clothes put the clothes in the machine and when the washing machine started washing a strange sound came from the washing machine it sounded like it was saying all day all night angels keep watching over me she decided to get her some coffee she got all coffee with an old percolator on it she put the coffee in the pot and when the pot started percolating she heard a strange sound from the pot the sound sound like it was saying all day and all night angels keep watching over me that morning about six o'clock a telephone wrong scared of the death she was scared to answer and one of the most rotary kind of phones not the phone that you used to one was a rotary but a sound came from the phone sounds sound like it was saying all day and all night angels keep watching over me about 6 30 her dope rang wrong early in the morning the ringing came all through the walls and when she was getting ready to go to the door the sound from the dope it sounded like i was saying all day and all night angels keep watching over me she opened the door and that stood a man she had never seen before just standing staring at her had an envelope in his hand he said ma'am i don't know who you are so but each year i give money to charity for some reason another the lord sent me to your door so here's a check for you for ten thousand dollars i don't know if you need it i don't know what it's for but the lord told me to give it to you and that lady looked at their check with tears in her eyes and saw it ten thousand dollars she went to sit down and looked at it again and at the bottom of the check was some little bitty writing the little writing said all day and all night angels keep watching over you thank god for angels the text said and unto the angel but now this angel in the text is not a heavenly being this angel is an earthly pastor the greek word is angelos it means messenger you see there were many churches in asia minor but only seven received letters because there was only seven pastors the churches that did not have a pastor didn't get a letter which also means that whatever letter the lord sent to the church the pastor read it first if it was a letter of congratulations the pastor was able to rejoice with the congregation as he shared the message if it was a letter of condemnation the pastor got it first he was able to share but with a broken and heavy heart he said unto the angel oh the church greek writ for church is ek la sia compound word e-ic mean x mean out that mean every person that's in church that's born again you are a x something you haven't always been where you are now we don't like to bring up the past but all of us gotta pass your parents may not be as bad as my past but you gotta pass and all of us are x something ex-pimps ex-prostitutes ex-gamblers ex-humongous ex-liars ex gossipers exceed ex backbiters some of us ain't 2x yet talk to me somebody first part of the word mean x it mean out second part of the word for church is kalea it mean to be called we were exit out of something but god called us into something can i say to us that if you have been exited out and call in you ought to shout for glory because it was the lord doing the choosing we didn't have enough sense to choose him he chose us and if the lord chose us we should thank god he made this election to be honest if i had to decide on me to choose me i'd have left me out you all don't hear me because i wasn't feeling little and i was not prepared to die i'm here merely because of the grace of god that god has favored me anybody ever thank god for the favor he called he's unto the angel of the church of ephesus the church of emphasis was at that day the most notorious church in asia minor the church at ephesus it was known for its political movement because politically it was out front they made their own laws made their own rules their own regulation sound like one of our parties in the white house they if if if the law didn't work they changed the law to fit them preach from ray it was notorious for its political environment it was also a prestigious town because of its economic because it was a seaport place ships would come from all over the world and would embark upon this particular city that meant jobs were plentiful but was also famous for his religious standing there was a god called diana she was called the god of sex in the same political city but it was the place where god sent the apostle paul to set up the church at ephesus he set it up you find it in acts chapter 19 when he founded this church at ephesus after he served two years his younger son timothy followed him and became pastor of the church at ephesus paulo one of the great preachers of that day preached now priscilla aquila did evangelistic work at this church at ephesus john the beloved disciple was a chartered member of this church and the mother of jesus was baptized here in this political this wonderful place unto the angel of the church at ephesus talk to me somebody he writes this letter watch what he said if you have your bibles open he said these things said he that hold it see little word hold it the word holy the greek word quatteo it means he controls he controls he controls what do he control let me show it to you he says and he that holding the seven stars in his right hand now if you're not shocked in the bible you try to figure out what these seven stars are but since you got your bible can i show it to you if you back up to revelations chapter 1 verse 20 it says the mystery of the seven stars which thou soweth in our right hand and the seven golden candlesticks here it is the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches that means that jesus called the pastors angels but he also called them stars why would he call a pastor a style y'all ask so many good questions well number one stars don't live always stars have time limit on their lives did you know pastors have time limits on their lives second thing about stars is what a star will do it will keep you looking at it preachers keep you looking at them you always say nothing folks watch preachers when they don't watch nobody else and they tell her that's a preacher that's a preacher sometimes i wish they would wait till i got out of sight before i could hear them i walk away they don't sit down they like they don't even know me soon i walk away you know who that is you you know him not you that's where i'm frankie from frankie ray yeah look like they would take the time say frank e ray uh frank edward ray but they put the e with the frank frankie ray sounds like i'm a woman or something frankie break it just hold it till i get out of sight but that thing preachers like stars they keep you looking up you can't see a star until you look up whenever person walk through these walls sit in these pews my job is to have you leaving looking up you walked in with a hung down head said i don't know how i'm gonna make it i don't know what tomorrow is gonna bring but when you walk out of here you need to say i have a new lease on life i think i can run a little longer now i think i can see a little further now than where i used to concede he says he hold it shout hold it he hold he hold it in his right hand then the text says he's doing some examination in the church it's right here in the first it say who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks that mean at every church you get a visit from the lord he come he checks you out he sees what you're doing you see what's on your mind he watch and see if you're texting watch and see if you're watching making notes he check out and see if you're looking at something else why you ought to be worshiping the lord he don't just see what you do you see what's on your mind because sometimes the church become a gigantic parking lot we sit our bodies here and our minds go shopping you somewhere else you already have decided what you gonna eat you already see meatloaf on your mind now y'all don't hear me he checks it out the text says he sees hmm preach representation he says then he says in verse two which exemplify what he said in verse one he said ah i know is that in your text he says hi i can hang there for a moment he said i know do you know if there's anybody that know it's the lord some writers say we are our heavenly father's children and we all know that he love us one and all yet there are times we find one answer another voice and call but if we are willing he will teach us why because he know the thing that you've been crying about all night he know that person that had been getting on your last nail he know that bill that you don't have enough money to pay he know the person that has scandalized your name and hung it on the wings of the morning he no preach from ray that situation that seemed to be taken out he know the word no is adew in the greek language which means he know by examination he know through experience the text said he said i know your work which means the church was working now you got to give them credit for that because as christ is kept a church cannot operate by itself the church can't just sit here all the week and wait to welcome you on sunday morning it takes a lot of work to keep the church moving it take faithful people dedicated people consecrated people to keep it moving like your house won't remain livable if there's not some work going on it's always something water faucet and leaking roof leaking flow screeching refrigerator go out washing machines stop washing the dryer won't dry y'all don't like me in this house it's always something i mean one thing it's another you can't just ignore it got to have somebody to make it work do i have a witness he says i know you work and greek word for work it means extensive work not only does it say work he said i know your labor he said listen you have not only work you have done some extensive labor to get things to where they are see you have worked you see you have labored then it says if you still got your bible open he said you got patience patience doesn't mean getting somewhere across in your legs waiting on something to happen greek word for patience is hooper monet hoopa mean under monet means to bear that means i got a load among god and i'm not going to let the load get me down i'm going on in spite of the load i have anybody know it's not a fly remain of ease god didn't call us to a banquet he called us to a battle talk to me something he didn't call us to have a good time he called us to be servants he said i know priest reverend ray i know i know your work i know your i know your patience when i'm about ready when i read this to start applauding this church because i mean after all you got a church that's working you got a church that's laboring you got a church that's got patience if you would hear the announcements of the ephesians church you will hear something like this monday is mission day tuesday is bible study wednesday is choir rehearsal thursday is men's ministry night friday is night out with the children saturday is time to deal with the teens and the list goes on every day would be jam-packed with stuff the church is doing god wants you to work john 9 4 i must work preach from ray the works of him that sent me while in this day y'all ain't saying that but i know i'm preaching he said i want you to be bids i want you to work first corinthians 15 38 15 58 be steadfast unmovable always abounding in the work of the lord for as much as you know your labor is not in vain in the lord i won't say lord this got to be a real good church this church is laboring this church is working this church got patience but wait a minute watch what it says verse 4 nevertheless wait a minute lord the word nevertheless mean but a lot you been telling me you got a church that's laboring you got a church that's working you got to church with patience and you're going to put a butt on the end of it he said nevertheless i got somewhat against you oh that hurt my heart because i had to sit back and start examining myself i had to walk to the mirror when i read this passage start looking at myself lord i'm trying to do the best i can i'm trying to be everywhere i need to be i'm trying to obey your will lord is that but in my life lord am i falling short lord of what you would have me to do lord i'm spending 40 hours a week steadying your word i'm trying to go see who i can see i'm trying to preach wherever i can preach trying to win folks to the law he said nevertheless he's i have somewhat against you let the man have something against me that's all right let's see the council have something against me that's all right let the police department have something against me let internal revenue have something against me let the covenant of the state have something against me let the councilors let the senators the uh congressmen have something let the president have something against but not the law i don't want the law why preacher because i need him to wake me every morning i need him to clothe me in my right mind i need him to keep giving me my health and strength what you mean somewhat against you he said you have left your first love in other words jesus said your honeymoon is over he said first love i'm hanging here a moment anybody remember your first love i fell in love with young lady name was lizzy back she was 13 years of age i was 16. she could sing like a mockingbird she'd walk down the eyes she's so bad she started the back by the time she'd get to the front of church she tore all the pieces her name was lizzy start going with her when she was 13. when she was 16 and i was 19 america you talking about somebody in love with somebody and then i had a guy named eddie simo that worked with me at plow and corporate we worked in the receiving department we would we would unload and unload trucks and from morning till evening he was filling my head with stuff my wife was doing he tell

rose and set and liz that was my first love anybody remember your first love we should have some help in this house you remember the first time you fell in love with jesus you always say man how you used to rush to church how you didn't care what happened hell high water caught and run you'd walk or you summarize with somebody else come on talk to me somebody you remember how you wasn't just satisfied at one hour service you came to sunday school at 9 30. service was at 11. had a three o'clock afternoon service and then another service btu at six in the evening and then another service at seven at night and you never got tired we church all day and talk about church until next sunday that's when you first fell in y'all ain't gonna help me here in love with the lord you remember that don't you that you go to work talking about what god had done you'd look at on thursday you said oh my god i got three more days before sunday i can't wait till sunday morning and you'd walk in church singing shine on me let the light from the lighthouse shut am i the only one been like that shine you remember when you first fell in love with the law can i ask you what happened where did the coldness come from what did the lord do to you to make you stop loving him like you used to be more sophisticated talk to me somebody we got more degrees we got better jobs you always say none we got as much stuff we ought to worry about as we used to and yet we backed up on the one we ought to be going forward to sometime we take for granted what god is doing they just said on the news a couple days ago 700 000 people have died from covey that's more than we have in the city of memphis we've got about 600 000 folks in memphis that means all of memphis would be wiped out but yet you're still here and we're here because we're looking so good we're not here because we're so holy we're here because god is keeping us you mean to tell me god been that good to me and i'mma get cold on god i remember right here in this church folk would be falling over and coming down the eyes shouting and singing now we won't even holler and raise our hand thank you thank you jesus we're too cute to shout now i hear the lord saying the honeymoon is over if you got your bibles can i show you what the lord think about it he said nevertheless i have somewhere to kiss you you left your first love watch what it said in verse 5 remember therefore from which thou are fallen now what we say is i'm just busy what we say is i got so much on the schedule what we say is i just can't keep up with it i get to the lord sooner or later but jesus said you're fallen now who are you going to believe what you say or what the lord said perio pepto the word fallen he said i have you're fallen why because they say it's not so much what you do but why you do it this is what it says in mark chapter 12 verse 32 234 he said you should love the lord with all your heart with all your soul with all your might but all your strength talk to that means every fiber of me ought to be in love with the lord can i tell you what love would do love will have you doing stuff you never dream you do love what have you spending money you ain't even god i guess i'm here by myself love will take your father then you want to go low will make you stay longer than you want to stay he said you have left your first love let me just pull the house see where i am if i'm here but is there anybody in here that's still in love with the lord has anybody here got no sense to know that i love him with all my heart and if i messed up show me what i need to do to get back in order he said i need you to do and i'll leave you about three things he said first of all remember shall remember remember there are two things your mind can do one is it can remember secondly it can imagine you see memory is so unique memory will have you on your 50th wedding anniversary remember the first day you met your bride remember it memory can have you at july the 21st remembering the snow in january remember no vehicle is as fast as remember talk to me somebody but remember in this text it means memorial do you know why when your loved ones die and you bury them you put a headstone at the head of the casket for memory because if there's no headstone you forget where you buried mama you know how you see statues in places a huge statue of somebody is there for memory that means somebody excited and somebody famous somebody that's important to you died and you put a statue you make the statue out of stone a metal so it lasts but not only would it last you have to keep it up you have to go back in once a while and cut grass around it had to go in once while i polish it to keep it up this is what the text is saying you need to go back and remember talk to me somebody who brought you where you are you need to go back and find the person that snatched you out of the jaws of hell because if you're like me i was on my way to a burning hair but the lord stepped in just in the nick of time he says number one remember y'all see it in the text from which thou art fallen but he said something else in verse five he said repent he said don't just turn around and start doing the right thing he said you need to repent for what you've done repentance mean a change of mind change your mind about self change your mind about sin and change your mind about the savior i'm preaching in this house talk to me somebody in other words he said if you have not been faithful as you should have been he said you need to repeat to god so lord you don't deserve what i've been doing to you i said a long time ago i did not want to rust out for the lord i want to wear out yeah and i want the lord to be pleased with my life he said number one remember but secondly he says repent but then he said do the first work it's in your bible you ain't turned out which means you must repeat shout repeat one time that means you remember how you used to act when you first fell in love with the lord he said need to go back start doing and uh over again because the only bible that some folk will read is you that when people see you a casual with god they think they need to be casual as well but uh the psalmist said that when you're born again you should make a joyful noise unto the lord is there anybody here know that you want to make a joyful noise to the lord you know it's always disturbing to me lord when i pull away from the property here go up down ways do left on my way home and i passed the football arena there and it's got 70 80 000 people and it's raining and they screaming from the top of their voice yeah they streaming to a team that's losing ever got a witness here they hollering calling the names of the football player they got the jerseys on they're wearing the numbers they got the flags on the talk to me somebody and i don't care what you say about them they still holler for that team but isn't it amazing you got a winner that you're playing for yeah you have a winner yeah he's been a winner a long time that he'd taken care of your children the taking care of your spouse's uh giving your job to go to the kept in health and strength fought battles for you have a god witness him and we hold our peace i wonder what did the lord have to say about our silence when it comes to the law that the lord said make and i'm out of here make a joyful noise unto the lord on your land now and then watch what it's saying there serve the lord with gladness it didn't just say serve him but serve the lord i'm about to read the holland here serve the lord with lightness come before his presence with singing there know ye that the lord he is god ah it is he let him meet us and not we are sam do i have a witness and the lord is good his mercies everlasting his truth and do it to all generations i got one more piece in the text and i'll let y'all go there either the first thing do is remember shout remember one time so you won't forget it uh shout it one more time remember but then he said repent shout repent and then he said repeat but then he got something else he said elsa i will remove shout remover the lord said you got four choices remember repent repeat i'll be removed i don't know about y'all but i love the lord too much for him to move me out of the way uh i want to stay here until the lord says seven well done you've been faithful over a few things i'll [Music] [Applause] [Music] i just actually do one thing i want you to examine your life ask yourself am i doing the all i can do for the lord do i have the right spirit in my heart for the lord to be pleased because man the look on the eye for the appearance but ah god look in the heart let me say look in the heart

called him snowman we were classmates that service is going to be this coming saturday uh friday i'm sorry friday at 12 noon let's pray for that family if you will then finally i won't just kind of i didn't say this in the in the sermon but i need us to consider that especially when it comes to something of this nature i've said in so many so many marital retreats and what have you and they say that when you're married you should keep defy burning that's what they said you should keep it keep spark in the in the relationship y'all heard that too having you uh the same thing it took to get a person to take that hold on to him and you all knew what you did when you got ready to get somebody the man he dressed in his finest clothes and he put his best cologne on he didn't put it all on at one time but he put it he put his best cologne he had his shoes shining had his hair all slicked back he would even wash his car before he come see us see his girl would he not car would be shining and then she would have a hair all laid back fried and died every strain was in place she had on her best outfit he never saw her with a house coat on they never saw her toenails that hadn't been clipped none of that stuff and then she always was took a bath and was refreshed and all that y'all remember that i can't hear y'all then once you get married you know he stopped watching this car stop putting on he sits in the bed and bites his toenails off and she put her hair on the bed pose and and wear wear robe that you've had for 20 years and won't know why he ain't got no feeling well you ain't got no feelings for me like so the way we treated the lord when we first met him that's the way we ought to treat him now make sense to y'all but i've seen people and i'm through i've seen people get excited at a hamburger journey they just think about the lore and they in line getting him ready to holler glory i said what are you just thinking about jesus just stand by don't just get happy just you seen people do that in the same other place on glory hallelujah and they tell somebody about how good god is can i tell you we need to keep the fire burning let's stand all over the
