Guest Speaker Scott Shelton 9.05.21

[Music] why don't you look at somebody close to you and tell them how blessed they are to be sitting by you [Music] oh happy day do you feel like they felt a witness to that that they do you feel like they felt like they were blessed to be [Laughter] sitting hope they did for the love of god i hope they did i may have told you this before i was at a church one time and i said tell the person beside you you love them and this woman was standing by her husband thanks be to god and she looked up at him she wasn't about that tall and he was like six six or something and she looked up at him she said i love you well i'm not a brain surgeon but i've got enough sense to know they had been in some intense fellowship on the way to church now my southern upbringing said leave it alone i pushed that aside and i said i don't believe they heard you would you just tell them one more time just just tell them once again i love you well she looked up at him and she said it again with that same mean look on her face i love you and that big behemoth of a man never even looked down and acknowledged that little woman and i thought oh yes leave it alone no i said you know what i think just one more time you need to make sure they know you love them i don't believe they're listening to you but they're sitting right there that brothers never looked down at her he was just dead ahead she looked up at him this time and stared for a couple seconds and he didn't look and she took her elbow you know that real tender spot right about the top of your hip bone that's where her elbow caught that big old brother and doubled him over like a folding chair and when he got down face level with her she grabbed him by the shirt pulled him right in her face i've told you twice i love you he said i love you too but that hurt so sometimes i just like to push buttons and see what'll happen well you can seat yourself i always wondered why they say be seated and then nobody comes to seat you so i just figure i'll let you see yourself i'll give honor to brother and sister betcher thank the lord for them what a wonderful wonderful couple oh yeah come on [Applause] thank the lord for godly people that are leading us to heaven we can't be saved without a man of god in our life according to scripture anyway and i am thankful give honor to these men of god on the platform with us today all the pastoral staff this church i give honor to all of you thank the lord for you in jesus name i want to take you i have no idea where all we're going to go i know where i'm going to start i don't know where all the lord's going after this but let's go to the book of romans chapter number eight uh verse number one and just stay seated i know we like to traditionally say well let's stand for the reading of the word not sure where that started but it's funny to me we'll read for the stand for the initial reading of the word but the brother can read 400 more verses and nobody ever stands again so if you're going to sit for all of it sit for the first of it romans chapter 8 verse number 1 you've honored my bishop thank the lord for him there is therefore now no condemnation look to your neighbor and tell them there's no condemnation for who to them which are in christ jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit for the law this is powerful now for the law of the spirit of life in christ jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death now i want to read that again in the passion translation so now the case is closed there remains no accusing voice isn't that powerful to know that's possible to get to a place where there is no accusing voice so now the case is closed there remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in a life union with jesus the anointed one for the law of the spirit of life flowing through the anointing of jesus has liberated us from the law of sin and death we do not have to serve the law of sin and death nor be a prisoner to it now i want to read it one more time in the amplified classic edition therefore there is now no condemnation no a judging guilty of wrong for those who are in christ jesus in other words uh i'm not opposed to a a and in a i thank the lord for whatever help we can give people that are trying to overcome addictions but in those two programs you have to always acknowledge hello i'm scott and i'm an alcoholic if you haven't had a drink for 300 years you've still got to acknowledge i'm scott and i'm an alcoholic because they say that part of your ability to overcome this and stay sober is to acknowledge what you are or what your weakness is however that's what i don't like about jury duty they i've been summons to jury duty five times that's what i said i got in there the last time and that little brother standing up there in a room full of humanity and he began to tell us what a patriotic wonderful duty this was and an opportunity to serve your country on jury duty no i ain't into it i don't want nothing to do with it and so then he said and you know it's a it's a rare thing to be called for juror duty most people i'm thinking what is your definition of rare this is my fifth trip in here so in a minute he said has anybody ever perhaps maybe served or been called for jury duty once before i went straight up with my hand he said you have sir i said that is correct how many times sir five just blew his little speech right out of the water most people never get called to do this the devil is a lie i've been here five times he said well how do you feel about it i said i want to be released why i said because i'm in a bad mood and i can't promise you that i'm going to give a clear decision i'm going to tell you why and they let me go you you just act belligerent enough in there and they'll they don't want nobody wants you rendering an opinion on anything just go in there and tell them i'm a narcolep they'll send you packing now y'all have distracted me already and i have not been in this pulpit more than ten minutes but i i don't like jury duty because of the fact that you're only there to determine whether or not someone did the wrong thing you're not given the opportunity to find out why they did it in the kingdom it's not what we do that's the most important it's why we did it we have spent decades developing ministries on addressing what people do instead of trying to get to the root of why they did it if you don't address the why the what's just going to resurface again somewhere later on down the road and it may be it may be that it surfaces the same way they may act out the same way every time if it's a decade apart or they may act out in a different way people that are insecure i'll tell you what have you been around somebody that's just so full of themselves that it's just running over anybody seen those kind of people i know nobody in here is like that but i mean we all know somebody don't we and they i mean they are so puffed up and proud and arrogant and think their stuff is better than your stuff and their jobs better than your job and you you you know what the problem there is the problem is they are the most insecure person in the whole room anytime you see somebody who's trying to put off that better than you image it's not because they believe they are it's because they believe they're not but they don't want you to know that there's some condemning voice of the past in there telling them you're not as good as everybody in this room so they become overachievers they they try to be at the top of the class they want to have the best grades they want to do the best on their job and i'm all far striving for excellence but the motive behind it is the issue we have dealt with manifestation more than we have motive and i think god needs us to get back to dealing with the motive of what's causing that thing to be manifested unruly children don't do it just for the sake of doing it they do it because of some motivating reason there's something there that may a person who was prevented from eating enough as a child did you know that if a child is deprived of food in the first two years four years of their life they have what we would consider to be an eating disorder the problem is not that there's a disorder but they were programmed to believe that they weren't going to get to eat so when they do get to eat they eat everything they can get their hands on and you've got to go back in there and reprogram them you don't just get onto them for eating too much you go back in there and try to fix and heal what was broken as a child and then teach them incrementally every day you're not going to be withheld from food or food withheld from you you're going to get to eat don't worry about it we're going to you've got to reprogram them but a lot of times we don't do that and the problem just exacerbates itself as they get older and it turns into a health issue we have people in the kingdom who misbehave and misbehave and misbehave and misbehave all the time in his eyes not in ours and just so we're all clear and on the same page none of us in this room have a right at all on any level to pass judgment on what's going on in somebody else's life none of us unless you can show me that it was you on that cross and your blood dripping off of it none of us have a right to look sideways at somebody else [Applause] and just like brother butcher said earlier you don't know where he brought me from we also don't know what each other are currently going through just because we were filled with the holy ghost don't mean that our life got immediately perfect if you struggled with something before you were filled with the holy ghost guess what that struggle is probably still going to be there but now the holy ghost gives you the power to overcome it but there's no condemnation now there's nobody that can stand and tell you you are a crack addict i don't care if you were stoned every day for the last 22 years it don't make any difference if god filled you with the holy ghost 30 minutes ago you're not a crack addict and in him you don't have to ever acknowledge you were a crack addict ever ever it can become a part of your testimony but you never have to stand up and tell people you know i'm a recovering crack at it no you're not you're a delivered child of god [Applause] we don't have recovery in the church we have deliverance until we get that in our mind it's going to take 30 days to get some people from bondage to freedom you don't have to go through a recovery process here you repent god forgives you he fills you with the holy ghost and you're a new creature in christ at that moment you're baptized in jesus name everything that's been forgiven is now washed away and you're no longer accountable for anything you did prior to today if the blood is not that powerful then we all need to go do something else i sat i sat in a church service one night and listened to a very good friend of mine preach and tell people how powerful his anointing was and oh my and then he looped me into the deal and he said brother shelton and i have the ministry we've got because we never did this and we never did that i'm thinking you are dumb as a box of hair because i did all that stuff we've been best friends i talk about like brothers and that rascal didn't know i had done everything he said we didn't do i did it all i watched i watched people's countenance fall i watched them begin to weep and cry not because they had heard how great god was but what they had just heard was we've got what we've got which we had nothing but we have what we have ministry-wise because we never committed these sins well yes we did and so i'm watching these people begin to weep because he just pronounced the death sentence on them because sitting in that room were people who had been cracked prostitutes there was a man sitting there was one of the greatest soul winners i've ever met who had killed a man in a gun fight over drugs and and he probably should have gone to jail but it was ruled a self-defense issue even though they were fighting over drugs he was a dealer the guy was buying the guy tried to rob him he pulled a nine millimeter out blew him 10 feet back and killed him emptied a 14-round clip into the guy but he became one of the greatest soul winners i ever knew two women one set on the second row on the end another one on that side both of them had been former crack prostitutes when god brought them into the truth and filled them with the holy ghost they were sent to school to get their cdl license the church bought them a school bus that the school had retired painted it with that church's colors they didn't have a vehicle but they lived in a part of town that was way away from the church and the pastor said i'll tell you what i'll put you on the church's insurance and i'm gonna get you your cdl license and i'm gonna give you a gas card to keep that bus full of gas and you guys use this bus to come to church with two conditions one fill it up and two get here early for prayer bring those people 30 minutes early for prayer those are the only two stipulations i watched them bring 60 to 65 people a service on that bus they broke the law bringing them they put them in the aisle in the floor set them in the floor bringing them to the house of god they got them to the church they didn't just turn them loose they brought them in marched them into the prayer room we got to pray they prayed more people through they brought more people than anybody else in that church a killer and prostitutes according to the world became some of the greatest assets in the kingdom that's how powerful the blood is that night that man was telling all that garbage and that's what it was i'm sitting there thinking you you have not got a clue we got back in his office after church and he said what do you think about that message i've never preached that before i said well i pray to god you never preach it again well why not i said because you are absolutely the dumbest thing i have ever seen in my life you don't know anything about the blood what are you talking about i said i did everything you said we didn't do no you did not yes i did i would know if you'd have done that stuff no you wouldn't it's under the blood you can't see past that you don't know anything other than that [Applause] so the next night he was supposed to preach again i said give me that microphone before you preach i want the might and i went out and stood in front of those people and i said just so everybody in here knows you may disregard all that you heard last night because i did all that stuff brother shelton you told it yes sure did because there was a girl sitting on the end of this row not this building but on that seat she's on the end of it and i had watched her the night before she had been raised by a woman who was a high-end prostitute her mother she had a daughter another sister who was five six seven years old this girl was about 15. her mother would get on jet airplanes with high rolling billionaires who would come to vegas and gamble and they'd end up in tokyo they would end up all over the world gambling in casinos all over the world flying on these jets and her high-end prostitute problem was she left behind a 15 year old and a five or six year old on the strip in a ratty hotel and this kid knew if child services or anybody ever finds out they're going to take my sister and me and split us up so she did the only thing she knew how to do to make money and pay the bills on that place they lived in she turned tricks on the strip in las vegas like her mama did the night before she had been told because you did what you had to do to survive god's never going to use you but that's not in that book it's not in that book it's not in that book nowhere you can't find that law in there anywhere roman says there is therefore now no condemnation one writer asked the question what then shall separate us from the love of god not things present nor things to come height depth and he goes to a whole litany of things but the one thing he does not mention that can in fact separate us from the love of god is the past the only power that the past has over us is what we give it in our mind when the lord spoke to paul to write to the church at rome about abraham what did he say to write about abraham's conduct abraham staggered not at the promises of god however there are hundreds of millions of arabs that have lived and died since the birth of ishmael to this moment that are proof that there was a little bit of a stagger in there somewhere and i asked the lord i said how is it he said it's under the blood whatever you know about it it's under the blood and when i wrote about abraham i couldn't recall it it's under the blood i don't hold him responsible for that entire race of people i don't lay that at abraham's feet it's under the blood i forgave him it's the end of it the scripture says that the devil is an accuser of the brethren of the who the brethren us if there's an accusatory voice in your head it's not from god and if you're sitting here thinking yeah but you don't know well that right there ought to make you want to run the aisles i'm on drink while you think you just don't know praise god you don't know what i've done amen are you wanting to tell us well no then stop bringing it up sitting on the pew right on this moment yeah but brother shelton you just don't understand i had a guy one time walk up to me i was in california i was fixing to go to the pool pulpit and i don't know what all they had told the church about my ministry or whatever god did and used me to do or whatever i don't have a clue but apparently he was afraid he was going to get called out so he just launched a pre-emptive strike and he walked up on me and tapped me on the left shoulder and i turned around and there's this burly rough looking fella he said listen i went into ninja mode he said you're probably going to pick up on it anyway i did 25 years in folsom for murder i didn't know why i was being told that i said why are you telling me that well i mean i know you're going to pick up on it i know you can look at me and tell i said i'm having trouble believing what came out of your mouth because what's coming off of your spirit looks nothing like what's coming out of your mouth you feel innocent to me he said you you can't pick up on that now yeah but i thought god used you in discernment well okay but that don't mean let me tell you about jesus all right let y'all sit down a minute let me tell you about jesus here just a second whatever you think you know about him add this to the list he is not in favor of anybody being a peeping tom into your business and the only reason god reveals things to somebody to minister to you about is to get it under the blood not to be a condemning voice not to embarrass you not to do anything negative but to help you understand that if you'll take that and put that mistake under the blood we can get past it move on if you've already got it under the blood god's not gonna let me or anybody else be a peeping tom in the window of your business to find out what you've done in your past it's nobody's business [Applause] if jesus ain't going to accuse him i'm not going to if jesus isn't going to condemn your baby i'm not going to if jesus isn't going to hold it over your head i'm not going to and it's always funny to me because i'll go places that maybe maybe the lord will tell me call the brother out minister to him so i am and and while i'm talking to that guy i can hear 15 other voices saying my god you've missed it if you knew what he's done you wouldn't be telling him that if you knew what he had done you wouldn't have a problem with me telling him that but we don't believe in the finished work of calvary apparently do you know what calvary was and still is to those that will let it be sin calvary calvary was the greatest cover-up the world has ever known all it was for was to cover up everything that stood between us and him that's all calvary was about to give us the opportunity to once again have a relationship with our creator he said for that to be the case i've got to take away your sin i've got to take away the obligation that you have to your sin i've got to take the responsibility of your sin away from you because you as a mortal creature will never pay the price to redeem yourself there's no way that you can redeem yourself therefore i'm going to redeem you and what i've done there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in christ jesus well i've made this mistake a hundred times fine quit do something else but if you're in the body of christ and you're one of his if the book says if you're faithful to repent he's faithful to forgive you that's what that book says if you'll repent he'll forgive you all have sinned all have sinned you want to know where you can find the most sinners in church the joint's full of us today people that have never been in the kingdom never been through the new birth experience they're not sinners we're so sanctimonious we look at all them sinners they're not sinners they lost it's impossible biblically for somebody who's never known him to be a sinner the word sin literally by definition means to miss the mark the only people who can miss the mark are those of us who know what it is so we're the sinners they're lost we're the sinners boy i feel that angel's moving around me again we're the sinners here all have sinned everybody in this room has sinned at some point some of us did it today somebody will be sanctimonious and set up in here all saved and washed by the blood but you cussed on your way in the building got angry on the way to church had a bad attitude on your way out of the house y'all always preach me down when i'm doing good but when i really get down to it y'all get quiet show me the perfect in this room if you're perfect and blameless stand up i want to see you shake your hand and help you write a book we've had to make some money ain't nobody in here has ever been that good you know what qualified us for the love of god in the first place our sin you know what made you qualified for the work of calvary the mess in your world and do you know what's going to save every one of us when it's all said and done anybody know we'll be saved by what say it proud bishop grace you know what grace is grace is when you get something you haven't earned do you think on that great getting up morning fairly well fairly well do you think on that day everybody that spirit filled is going to be perfect and blameless and spotless and without one blemish on their life when jesus comes back for us do you think there's not gonna be some of the saints of god right up in the middle of some traffic hello somebody that's where grace is going to be applied one writer said surely surely for a fact i know goodness and mercy self what so we do have an opportunity to not let the past separate us from the love of god if we'll let goodness and mercy do its work where was rispa on the day that her sons were taken scripture doesn't say whether she was at home or not scripture doesn't indicate scripture just indicates that when they came for her five boys they got them and they hung them if you're a parent in here and you've got parental regret for something you did or did not do raising your children just hold on a minute the enemy will tell you as a parent well you failed as a parent you weren't there when your children needed you the most it stands to reason that rizpah was not even home when they came for her children because if she had been knowing moms like i've gotten to know my wife and my mother had she been there the scripture would have made note of it because she would have caused a scene you not taken my boys but when she comes home and finds out that they've been taken then she says this will not be their end i'm not letting this be the end of their story and she went out there in the field where they were and she set up camp and she kept all the fouls of the air and the beast of the fields from tearing their hung bodies down from those ropes and she kept such a vigil until david heard about it and david said no that's not no they are the sons of saul they're descendants of saul they are royalty go get them off those ropes and bury them in the sepulchre with their fathers she had a choice to make either i'm going to be just guilt-driven and beat myself up forever because i wasn't here when they needed me the worst or now that i see the need i'm going to stay here now i'm going to make a difference now if you're a parent and you've got children that are not serving god or not doing right or have problems don't don't beat yourself up and say well they're doing what they're doing because i wasn't a good enough mom or i wasn't a good enough dad you just hold the phone don't you listen to the accusing voice of the adversary don't you listen to that lying wonder tell you that you failed your kids and you messed your kids up used to if you still dragging fresh air down your throat you got time to make a difference in their eternity you give up on your children not one second i i don't care if they sitting straight up in the penitentiary right on today i don't care if they're in a crack house right now i don't care if they're hungover from a drunk last night i don't care where they are or what they're doing or what they told you they wanted to do you hang on to what god told you about your children and you stand between them and the enemy and you fight and you fight and you pray and you fight until god brings them home and changes their story satan's an accuser of the brethren not god not god let me finish reading my little text in the amplified classic edition are you playing the end of this thing out would you come play something melodiously and give them some sense of false hope there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in christ jesus who live and walk not after the dictates of the flesh but after the dictates of the spirit the condition here is if you want to live above accusation of the enemy if you want to live free of the enemy's voice pursue the things of god for the law of the spirit of life which is in christ jesus the law of our new beginning has freed me from the law of sin and of death in one place scripture says the lord makes a statement he said i created evil but man let it in the world we we we are the ones that let all you know people say well why does god let bad things happen to good people and all that nonsense he didn't let that happen to us we brought that on ourselves but the same way we can bring the past around and remember all the mistakes we've made and all of the things that we brought on ourselves we have also an advocate with the father and if we can bring hard times and bad times and regrets on ourself we can also bring through our faith in god forgiveness and mercy and grace and the love of god at an altar in the kingdom you don't spend your life doing penance for yesterday [Music] you don't do it you do not spend your time proving anybody in this room that you're sorry for what you did i may or may not have made mistakes yet this week [Music] but i'm not going to sit here and bow before anybody and confess my sins to you and you're not going to do it to me either because you're under the blood i didn't die for you i can't save you and since i can't save you and i didn't die for you i can't pass judgment on you can't do it it don't matter where god's brought me from it don't matter what i've done it don't matter in him i'm innocent he can't see past his own bloodline he don't know what i've done he don't know [Music] god don't know i was praying one day it's just me i was praying and i spent copious amounts of time that day telling the lord how sorry i was for stuff that had happened years before nothing major just dumb stuff you know finally the lord spoke to me he said i have no idea what you're talking about i said lord surely you remember he said no i don't he don't remember i said you don't he said i have no idea i said you're god you're omniscient you're all-knowing how do you not know this he said the power of the blood is such that i can't see past it myself [Music] you hear me have you been listening to me all day have you really i've been watching you soak it up [Music] the next time i'm here you better look different than you do right now because here's how you look right now in your spirit you want everything god wants for you but the enemy tries to just keep pushing you down saying you don't deserve it you're not worthy of it she does deserve it doesn't she sister would you come lay hands on her lift your hands lift them up just to bet you just lay hands right on her head somebody stretch your hand down here release your faith toward our sister she deserves every good thing that the father has for her there's no condemnation in this room today none there's no condemnation here today none none he don't remember it yesterday is gone yesterday's over there's a brand new day looking you right in the face a new day dawned on this morning when you walked in that door it's a new day your ministry is not over the time of your ministry hadn't passed the calling and the gifts of god are without repentance whatever god called you to be 20 years ago you still are right now [Music] we the church better go ahead and make our minds up that part of our end time duty is the work in the ministry of restoration we better be ready for it [Music] i'm gonna need to be restored tomorrow you may be in need of restoration next week who knows [Music] you don't have to carry that junk around day by day by day you don't have to be tethered to the past forever yeah but i have so much lost and wasted time this this is going to sound so non-pentecostal but i'm going to say it anyway yes it's unfortunate if you ever strayed from the kingdom and went back out into what god brought you away from i get it i i do i understand that but everybody in here has done that some may have gone a little farther out but if i've ever given myself over to my nature for 10 minutes i went out from the kingdom back to what he brought me out of my nature i got a temper it's bad that's why i try to laugh a lot because my fuse is like that long and it don't take much most the time if i'm not where i'm supposed to be with jesus for me to get irritated about stuff and impatient and rude so i've had to learn three words and i live them i have dedicated myself to these three words it's powerful are you all ready when controversy comes and things happen disappointments oh you i can't tell y'all what it is it's just too much you won't okay i'll tell you these are my three words i don't care isn't that powerful that's the only way i can stay free i don't care your plane's delayed mr shelton you're going to be here to 1 a.m i it sometimes it's a it's tough to say it i don't care i'm not going to lie to you i'm right in the house of god i can't be lying about it [Music] he remembereth our frame that it is but dust have i failed him yeah is one sin worse than another no i mean we say that but we really don't believe it [Music] but i want you to believe it god wants you to believe it for your sake and somebody else's if you've ever seen somebody who strayed from the kingdom come back to an altar and pray through 12 dozen times 12 dozen that's 144 and you look at it and you're like [Music] i wonder how long they're gonna stay this time when david was telling the story about his daddy's sheep he said the lion came and got one a bear came and got one you know that story i asked the lord about it one time and i asked the lord about people who seem to have a difficulty staying faithful he said well read that story about david telling that about the sheep so i did the lord asked me he said do you think those sheep wanted to be taken by the bear and the lion [Music] no he said do you think everybody that leaves my flock wanted to be taken by whatever took them you you think it was always their decision to just walk out think about it your adversary the devil goeth about as a what as a lion seeking what who he could take he came only to kill steal and destroy do you think do we think for one second that all of our brothers and sisters that have been among us some of us could give our own testimonies about how we were once in the kingdom rock solid doing good and then all of a sudden bam the world flipped upside down and we find ourselves somewhere besides around the altar did we really want to be out there you remember what i talked about early on i made a little statement i did it for a principal about those people who put off a persona of i'm better than people who are not here but are out there i don't care what they say somewhere deep down inside of them may have to be peeled layer after layer to get to it but deep down inside of every way we're child of god is a desire to be back in the house of god back in the presence of god it's always there do we think do we really think that any of us wanted to wake up in the jaws of something that could kill us and destroy us now how did david find the lion and the bear you think it was just because he was an expert tracker perhaps or did he hear the sound of a lamb's voice crying in the wilderness somewhere can we quit being judgmental long enough to listen past the distortions to see can we hear the voice of one of his lambs crying i just want to come home can somebody please help me [Music] the lord spoke to me he said read that whole story i did david said i overtook that bear and i smote him and when he was unconscious i took that lamb out of his mouth and once the lamb was in safe place he said that bear rose up against me what'd you do dave i killed that rascal [Music] now that lying story who happens about the same way i smote him too when i caught up to that rascal i knocked him unconscious and while he was out cold i took that lamb out of his mouth got him in safety [Music] what happened that line do you know he rose up on me what'd you do with him i killed that rascal too made a blanket out of him [Music] the lord spoke to me one day he said sometimes people have a problem staying in the kingdom because they don't have the ability to kill what keeps taking them but if you really understood intercession you would intervene between them and their enemy you know what intercession really is it's when my enemy becomes yours [Music] that's all it is so let's not look and say well how long are they going to make it this time let's say lord what is it that keeps taking them that they don't have authority over yet can i pray and deliver them from that we pray enough to get them out of the jaws of what took them we pray enough to get them back to the altar but then we leave them there still wounded with the saliva of that bear that line still dripping off of them well they prayed back through yeah but they still got an enemy [Music] and somebody's got to make that enemy their own and tell them you know what i'm not going to let you be taken again i'm not going to do it if you want to stay i'll stand between you and your adversary that's the work of the church not not i don't have a dog in the fight oh yes we do i got a brother in the fight i got a sister in the fight and i gotta fight for him my daddy always told me and my brother y'all don't start fights and scott if steven's in a fight with somebody because they started it you stay out of it i don't want y'all double teaming somebody and and if it's a fair fight you leave it alone but if if they jump on him and they've got him at a disadvantage and you know they're going to hurt him you better get involved and i hear the father saying don't don't go out and get into whatever everybody's getting into out there but when you see that taking them and you see that beginning to overwhelm them get involved bear ye one another's burden stand with me [Music] here's what we're gonna do if you're comfortable with it in regards to covet or whatever i want you to come around the front if you're comfortable doing it just come gather in around the front if you're not comfortable getting shoulder to shoulder with people just get a little closer if you feel too no problem or you can remain where you are it's okay [Music] to your left and right is your family it's our family it's our church family [Music] all of us have done something that we regret all of us have i don't believe there's a human being on the planet that doesn't have some regret anywhere but we have been given an advocate with the father we do have a way to lay that mess down and if you'll let goodness and mercy today it'll come around behind you and it'll cover your past the blood already has if you'll just allow it to wash you clean one more time brother shelton what do i need to do to prove that i'm really in it to win it nothing other than let god take care of it for you you don't owe anybody anything you don't have to prove anything to anybody if if you've got something you want him to take from you just give it to him this morning that's it it's it literally is that simple if you've never received the holy ghost and you want to today while you're giving all that sin to him whatever it might be he'll fill you with the holy ghost if you want him to he's not going to force that on you either whatever it is if it's weighing you down even that much lay it down just let it go would you do that i don't know what they're going to play and sing but i'm going to let them do that brother betcha is going to come and pray as the angel and the man of god over this church but i want you to let the lord redeem you do you hear me just lift your hands right now and begin that you don't have to pray where everybody can hear you but make a sound let god hear your voice as you late whatever the struggle is whatever the issue might would be let him know lord you see what i've struggled with you see what i've wrestled with and today i'm giving it to you [Music]
