How to Be a Scriptural Man given by Bobby Roberson

Oh sister god bless you any time you come to gospel light you think I like that I was thinking I was thinking about an old dear sister mr. Tatem just lived close to our church and she was a primitive Baptists and the primitive Baptists you know just hope the guy and she she I think she says I know Jesus and all the way and I'm trusted and I said well he believeth on me hath them you believe it yeah to her hope I and all that anyway she attend our church on a Sunday morning I think hers had Saturday night or something and she attend every Sunday morning for preaching but she wouldn't come Sunday school you know they wouldn't live to go son school our church was smaller then and I'd go to Dover to shake hands after surgeries and one morning God moved in that place I thought about him tonight the old lady came out she grabbed my hand and she said preacher I know we ain't supposed to know what's real but it really is she said and went on out to the over shout if you got to get ghost of old-time salvation and it is real October the 24th 1948 I was 17 so you can figure it out if you want to hold him I was under conviction I didn't know what it was I I'd go to church and get troubled and stay away for a while I'd go back get in the same shape I remember picking a paper up one day and reading for a fella 17 my age got died and it scared me to death boy I was afraid I'd go to hell that night I so afraid to go out but couldn't hold out I was afraid to go home but afraid to go to hell and I gave up and trusted Jesus and he gave me something that's been over 64 years ago by the way brother Raymond is won't see now he's 80 years old he's not 81 he didn't know that he you know when you get your age you don't supposed to be the other day until the day of it you know his birthdays in all this he's eight he won't be the one to August and I'm just a year older mines August afield and if you asked me on August the 4th brother Bobby how old are you I'm still 81 little kids Raymond you know how they'll say how are you ten and a half you know so alright I appreciate brother brother Raymond I want you to turn the galatians chapter 6 I'm just gonna talk with you a little while a couple hours of solid if you go to sleep you won't be the first one ever slapped it's all worried brother Clarence awake glaces chapter 6 but I just I just want to say a few words before I before I do I thinking about brother brother Barbara here you know my dad was a preacher my dad preached on Sunday he dropped dead on Monday 39 years old with a heart attack evidently my dad and his dad were good friends I was twelve older brothers thirteen youngest one nine three boys and I remember that that in the church were dead pastors and his daddy I didn't know at that time it was three preachers conduct his appeal and his dad had the part in my dad's funeral and I remember the first time I attended the Baptist tabernacle were danville that's about 60 miles from eyes brother roll-off was over there that I heard him on the radio and never seen him it took a busload of people and went over that man it was in the old building his dad had over he really stood for the truth and I won't say this so RJ jr. a pastor there that for years and RJ brother roll-off will come to our place and in the next night he'd go over to Tabernacle as RJ juniors and he said to me you one time one night he was I sent out brother Bobby I want you and RJ to go with me the morning I'm going to Temple I'm gonna fly you we got a plane I'm gonna fly up there in the morning then preaching chapter and I we'd be back tomorrow afternoon now I want you to be at Airport and brother Barbara's going both way to go with me so we heard home that night and my boy Steve was at as in 1969 or 70 or something along there and Steve wasn't was a student temple and he just loved pancakes so my wife got the bacon a pound cake after we went home that night wanted me to take it to him he didn't know what was coming and she put the pound cake in one little 10 containers okay I'm taking that eat in the morning we meet six o'clock brother Barbara and I are sitting in his for season playing we're sitting in the back wonder what brother brother Barbara's young men was taking flying lessons so he's sitting sitting in the front or brother roll off and we get on up Claire about seven eight o'clock in the morning and brother all said you boys hungry some apples back there and we looked and there's some old green I called horse apples you know and I said I said I don't believe I wanted you brother Martin he said no and I said RJ I said now brother Barbara I mean brother roll off at this young man's talking about a barber not talking and I said RJ I said my wife make the pound cake I'm taking the steam it's down here between my legs on this this little ten thing what we had a piece that he said man and a cup of coffee and I have to go look up but he did and brother Roloff here boy he gave an old plane a whip and that thing whatever which way and heart your brother looked like he didn't have a droplet let in he said oh oh what's the matter scared me too but I've seen him do it and he did and brother Roloff says we didn't know his missus he said they were timed coffee snitchin in this plane had always trusted your brother said it won't never be mentioned again I like I love to tell you I had a privilege I'm not gonna go any further there but I have privilege of flying him through four times that's some good times and he was a wonderful wonderful man coming back coming back brother Raymond he said I'm tired he told that boy you know he stopped believing you can fly this thing see we went into chapel service and then we left went back out chapter he got on the plane left and he signed tired said you take it and he'd float folded his coat up flip slide it between us and that little plane back in there and he made him a pillar and he saw most sleep and this boy he got us up all right weeds up about a thousand feet neck Bauval said I don't believe this this door shut good and scared me to death and you little fell away by the hundred twenty-five pounds even way he reached over shut top you ever tried to show a car door didn't running you know and that's it brother roll off I think I'll suck yard Bell alright and he he finally got that thing shut and honestly I guess he's so - I believe he was asleep in three minutes he slept all the way into winston-salem that boy and he's living back there asleep he is a great man I don't know why I got into that let's move the tape tell you that I thought about some of that and I can tell you sometimes you saturdaya with me I'll take some more story about Lester Rollo you know I had on my mind a preaching on what a spiritual man is we know a spiritual man is the one that's got the Spirit of God and every one of us will see the Spirit of God got us you know it say have you got the spirit no use born of the Spirit the Holy Spirit lives in you if you have not to spit you're none of his and so you're saved and what we need to do is surrender daily that the Holy Spirit might lead us and guide us you see we we know we have the flesh and there's a war fired relations 5 talks about that and he tells us the flesh but I want us to start reading right here in verse 22 of the fifth chapter you've got your Galatians the fifth chapter but the fruit notice but the fruit of the Spirit now if if I'm a spiritual man then I've got the fruit of the Spirit and if I'm a spiritual man there's nothing about me it's God controlling right now notice but to prove the Spirit is love not hatred but love joy and what Jordan joy gives us strength don't it in that presence is fullness of joy and I'm not gonna preach on these 9 things but just want you see peace long-suffering gentleness goodness faith meekness temperance against such there is no law and they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections in lust if we live in the spirit let us walk in the spirit let us not be desirous in vain glory provoking one another envying one another and then it comes right on into that next that makes chapter brethren he's talking to us who are saying if a man be overtaken in the fault ye which are you see that word spiritual ye which are spiritual talk about him all you can run him down and say bless God if he had it he wouldn't have done that now that's not right but that's the way we do most of the time now those notices if a man be overtaken in a fault ye which are spiritual to see that word spiritual do what restore such a one in the spirit of meekness and while we're doing it consider thyself lest thou also be tempted now let's think for a little bit tonight about a spiritual man a spiritual man let's have just a prayer lord help me tonight I have several things on my mind and I want to see what humans say and it's not what I say it's what the Holy Spirit says through me because he exalts the Savior and will thank it his name I pray amen and we know the Holy Spirit back in John 16 john 14 jesus said it's it's expedient for you and I go away if I don't go away then the comforter won't come but when I go I pray the father he'll send the spirit he'll do what he'll convict us of our sin nobody ever gets saved apart from convicting power of the Holy Spirit by Condor when I was thinking about I'm afraid they'll go to hell and I see myself a sinner who do you think you think so not good within me no it was a Spirit of God brought me to that place the Spirit convicts and the Spirit converts my friend we're born of the Spirit of God you see we we get the word and and we're born an incorruptible seed the Word of God by the power of the Holy Spirit and we know that the Spirit of God someone comforts us this dear lady who came up in spoke tonight about her husband passing the way God will comfort her and in the midnight hours when she you feel that she can't go on the Holy Spirit's there to comfort her and encourage her along the way you see and the Spirit of God will guide us into all truth now the Bible said try the spheres I'm going to try according to the Word of God if I'm saying I'm doing something and the Spirit of God is doing it through me and it's not according to the word it's not the Holy Spirit now let's keep that in mind and so the Holy Spirit guides us into all truth the Holy Spirit teaches us how many times have you read your Bible and you'd read it over and over and you wouldn't see anything and then all at once you say praise God I'll never see that before that's the working of the Holy Spirit the Bible is a spiritual discernment of book and a natural man cannot understand it you see that's why that we have so many liberal colleges today men that do not understand have creping and education and men's knowledge and men's wisdom doesn't write to find the Bible it's the Holy Spirit if you write a book you know more about that book and anybody else and the Holy Spirit of God wrote this book being it all were moved upon by the Spirit of God and the Holy Spirit is the one that teaches us the truth and we write divided through the Holy Spirit and not us being smart and we need to realize that and and and in something else the Holy Spirit jesus said he shall not speak of himself but shall speak of me the Holy Spirit exalts Jesus Christ and he said if I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me I'm just saying friend we need to recognize the the Holy Spirit and that the Holy Spirit control our lives that we might have this desire to be a spiritual man to help people along the way that's what I'm trying to say one day you might have heard this illustration I don't know where I heard of that but I heard a fella say I got two little dogs and it fired all the time I got a little black dog little white though and they can't get along and he said well which one wins he said well the one that I want to win I feed him real good and starve the other I didn't want to get out there and put him in a pinned together the one that's weak will get will and he said that's what I need to do I need to feed the spiritual and starve the flesh be man out and then I can have the power of the Holy Spirit and have the power of the Holy Spirit is not something about me it's about the Lord my friend and we need that we need that in our own life we really do and we need the Holy Spirit's power now you know let me assist Mitch and I'm getting away from I allow that don't make you the difference I went I went to a field one day one of my members I'm not making fun the old gentleman I just attended the field and he was one of those old folk primitive and he got up you know they go by dreams and visions and he got he said I'm gonna read some some scriptures from the book of assess the lastest and I doubt forever come back to it and he never did he win us over the mountains and so on now you wonder where I thought where he said that's the please ask to yesterday so I've read the scripture but I'm gonna try to come back to it but I just want to know that's when we share something with you if I could if I could just just a minute now folks we need to brother Clarence mentioned this thing and if you've ever heard Lee Robertson you heard it died of self that's their victory and we'll never have the spiritual man control until we die the same night I say I heard dr. rice preach for us one time dr. rice used to look like that I wore glasses but he and dr. rice said he always fetch this thing of denied yourself and he's pulled the Scriptures obvious in Luke 9 if any man will come after me let him deny himself take up his cross daily and dr. rice said you get old self nailed to that cross today and that book I wiggle now but Ammar you'll have to do it again and that's true that's true that listen listen God has brought me through a lot of violence and and and I love Pastor I love pastor with all and it is young men don't get scared but it is twice as hard to Pastor a church now so at 10-15 years though it is it is but now that don't mean you don't faster you see it's not you won't give the vicarage Scott can give me now let's keep that in mind and I love to Pastor I really do but I don't know what I just started to tell you that well let me tell you this right quick dr. Tom alone preached for us the whole life and he told his story one time he said aw Tozer he said he was a preaching somewhere in a meeting and Tom Malone said I was a young preacher and said he was eating this restaurant after service and and brother Malone said I went over and said dr. Tozer could I speak to you minute he said yes he said he said how can a young man have God's power upon his life and said he W toza said well young man you've asked a hard thing and he told him this that's what Tom Malone said he said keep your sins confessed he said no let Impala Forney he said he said God King you unclean bus he said I mean when you have evil faults confess it confess it everything is wrong you know get it right get it right right and then he said do a lot of praying reading your Bible and then he said Donna said dr. Malone said he asked him said can you help me on that thing at the diner stiff he said I think I can he said since you've asked me let me tell you me and this is what dr. Tozer told Tom Malone he said I was standing out in front of a church the other day and and and the cemetery was right out there and the young man asked me the same thing you asked me about this thing of dying and I said ask him do you know anybody do you know who's buried out there a big old stone there you know who's buried there and he said yeah what kind of man he settle on the meanest me in this town he said would you do me a favor would you like to understand to him that stone and tell him how mean he was he said that young man looked at me he said he walked out fair he walked up and he said I remember you and this town he was the meanest man you've done this you've done that you've done the other and just kept home I tell him all these bad things they come back to him he said did you tell it and he said yes he said what he say he said dr. toaster said he told him said what asked him what he said he said he'd say anything say stood I meant he said can you think of any good thing about the men do you ever marry any good thing about it he said I know a couple of things he said won't you do one more thing for me I want you go back after him tell him go on and he said no boy walked out there to have that stone and he said now I know you was awful me but I'm gonna tell you you was sure good about this and told him talk and you were sure do that about the other you know and said I remember that about you and said he come back dr. Tozer said did you tell him he said yeah did you tell him him good points he said yeah he said what do you say said he hadn't said anything yet and he said let me tell you son when they talk about you you're dead and when they brag on you you know I have a few people brag on me once in a while Bobby you did some for a long time I know thank you so much and sometimes a Dem say you know you your flesh you know no know if it's any good thing God done it you take you take the Lord away from me I'm the steel rotten sinner than always and you are too and I'll say this young men and young ladies that are going to school you remember now you may go out yonder and you may be back in the boondocks nobody here on you much or you may be up shondor somewhere and and your church may grow and grow and don't you get the old self built up you'd be like that feller even the good things about it he didn't say anything and you'd be sure that you stay all the way and recognize it's not you if it's any good thing about to you it was the Lord and not you and that's lame and I've told us several times here I know I know it but I won't tell all of you weren't here when I told you you need to know it anyway brother roll I think was one of the most spiritual men that we've had brother Roloff was was put in jail because he would not accept a state license to run his home and he came the reason we got in so much he asked me we're eight miles out of Winston Salem and he they've been getting our new order toward went to heaven before thee but our lord of turin would see about fourteen hundred and he asked me one day he said brother Bobby do you mind my Western Salem area just stopping over here he's I don't like to go in these Civic buildings Arcola on the church and he said I have some meaning tasting I can't I said any time you want to you come and that's why I did about three and uses three times a year he'd called me at six o'clock in the morning you could set you I mean just six o'clock this is laughter Daniel corpus time to get up and he said I'm gonna be up there let's see now and uses the Thursday a Thursday night so and so be ok I said yes sir I remember one time I was gonna preach some work and I said I'm supposed to preach but but you you go ahead and I said my boy Steve he'd be here and you he said good glad you're gone Ben won't get to church anyway he had a good time but let's what I want a he was with me one day we was going somewhere it's hard to get him me I take him kid W sometime you'd get him four or five saddest you know he didn't eat like some of us you know but anyway one time he got him a little hamburger and they come outside I couldn't believe come outside he said you made me see it in there but what I started to take quiz ronald one day going somewhere and he's laughing cutting up and i was too and i said this to him something i see i mean i don't know what it was been doing nice you ever see things somebody you think ona said that what's what i happened to me and I said I said brother roll off I'm sorry I said what I did to you I wouldn't hurt you for anything in the world and that little fella looked over at me if you don't get anything I say you take his home with you he was he looked over me and he said brother Bobby if you hurt me it's not your fault it's my fault because I'm supposed to be dead and you can't hurt something dead now brothers that'll make us that that'll done real spiritual man that's right that's why and folks every time and I do I try to be honest and every time I get stirred up without something gospel like the Holy Spirit will bring that to my mind when you just lucked and do this sometime and then God say you wouldn't feel like it she's dead you see cleric brother Clarence said something to me one day this man's a blessing to me we was talking few years ago and he said hey let me give you a good today I said let me have it excellence 1414 I'd read it but it's never meant as much to me as it did that day and you know what he said he said hold your peace the Lord shall fight for you and hold your peace I mean here's them Jews out there and here's Pharaoh's army and there's the Red Sea and God said I'll fight you battle and he'll do it if you and I try to fight him we'll make a mess out of them but if we learn to wait on God and we can see him fight those battles and he knows exactly how to fight him and some saying to be a spiritually and to be a Christian order we've got to die to self every day somebody said well but you know it don't well that's alright go on your way but if you die to self and I say this our church has got hundreds of members but I hate to admit it I have more trouble with wouldn't you looking at and the rest of them around there that's right because the attitude I take makes a difference in my life I'll lose my joy if I don't that's what I'm talking about if I don't laugh and walked up to me a few weeks ago he said I won't hurt you but you know you're 81 years old and me and your age use a retire and wouldn't you gonna retire I mean a man I've been 35 or 40 years his pastor I mean I mean just a few weeks ago he slipped a letter to my 12 deacons and didn't give me one and say don't y'all think the preacher or to do this or that manner laughs no less God just died and the Lord will take care of it I mean I'm doing some good preaching where our practices old-time and my friend you and I don't have to go through life frustrated and all of that we belong to him and he said I'll fight your battles and I'm no good and you're no good but he's everything and all we wants us to do is just present our bodies a living sacrifice and when he gives a glory give him the praise for it and say look what the Lord done my friend that's what I'm saying and we can have the joy of God in our heart all the time yes I'm just saying we need we need to do that we need to do that my friend all the time now let me give you two or three points here and I'll hurry up I want to say yeah that's just some things I I wanted I wanted just just a mention there if I could let them say one more thing I go down here this always try to and I believe this is a spiritual to let's always try to help somebody young horse in Proverbs rumor says a word fitly spoken just like the apples of gold they pitched himself fitly spoken let's always try to help somebody I forgot this brother Clarence but I think it's 1982 if I'm not mistaken I had to join preacher Hill South white he was over at Highland Park and I told the story I became pastor when I was 24 and when I was 29 I had a heart attack and I'm not going through that thing and in a church split and nervous breakdown all that I told it that night in my message about five four five years later I got a phone call and if he's here tonight or done forgot his name I'm Shane but he called me and he said brother Robertson would you come to Charleston South Carolina and preach for me i pastor gospel light Baptist Church in Charleston he said I was a Southern Baptist preacher and he said I I just had so many troubles in my church and I'd resign and he says I'll just quit I'll not go anymore and he said a friend of mine asked me to go to a South quad talking I defeated in he said I didn't know what the independent was but he asked me a cop and this is what the man said and I just find it's okay but he said I was through now give God the glory but he said when you told that that day I sit back there getting that bigger what a tour I think it was the old order to learn how to party and I said Lord you mean you've done that for him and he said I got recharged and I went to Charleston South Carolina and it started to church and named it after your church I went down in that old boy had 400 and some people and and I don't know how the church is doing he's not there next but Dean you went to Columbia and he's inclined he organized a church in Columbia and he's still in the ministry and I thought how important it is to say a word I've encouraged me if you can you maybe after I don't know I don't know 907 years ago and I'll tell you I've told this but I'm telling quickly right quick seven years ago I woke up on a Sunday morning about 5 o'clock that's alright Saturday I was so knowledge they be sick and I tried to make it to the restroom almost didn't make it and I vomit it was black blood that was no son and got me to the hospital and the doctor said I had a cancer at the end of my sock in the top of my stomach and and my family was outside there some way and when a doctor come in to explain it is there in the hospital and he said mr. Roberts and I got to talk to you I didn't know of a doctor at that time and he said he told him a story he said we're gonna have to operate he said we're gonna have to remove a third of your stomach said we're gonna remove the cancer up here and and and we're gonna make you sockless then we're gonna move your stomach on and I'm gonna take you folks cancer you know was a horrible thing and and it just the darkness came over me I was 7 to 4 years old I said to that doctor I said doctor I guess I'll have to retire Warner now that doctor could have said well now you are 74 and you if he but he didn't say that you know what that doctor said to me oh no preacher don't think about such a thing you're gonna be all right we're gonna we want to make you and you talking and and you gonna come out of this thing fine don't you worry about that about two three years later I told him I said doc I appreciate what you see it he said the right word I thought if a doctor can say that I don't have to quit but that doctor could you know still what I'm trying to say he could have said the wrong word Ellis watched his old mouse the virus and be careful if I can't say something to help you keep your mouth shut you know I mean there's people hurt and ever work and just try to sit good now let me give you my three points and I'll quit I believe the Bible would say a man who's a spiritual man and I think I've touched on these is a compassionate man he's a compassionate man you know what you know what compassion and you know what Jude says compassion makes a different doctor Lee Robertson preached for us after he retired from his church I want to say he was right at ninety-degree preached several times this man would know but he told me said brother Bobby I preached it it was 1700 and some churches and he said I believe the most missing lengths is completion I never forgot this compassion compassion now you think about the stories are the Book of Luke when the men fell down there among the thieves here he is dying and here's the Levi he looks over and says that said in it and the priest but the other fellas good Samaritan he went where he was that's compassion he took time for him now folks let me tell you it's not I but it's the Spirit of God that loves people and you know the story there hi he put him on his own little animal and took him and said take care of him that's compassion I I hear brother Clarence speak about with dr. Robertson and what a man of God he was I'll tell you this right quick after he retired from the pastor he stayed he had miss Robertson was in one of our homes there in at the church it was in what I call the prophets room and he's preaching about 15 miles from there I think it's three three hours I mean three days two or three days for this fellow I was I didn't get to go but they were staying there we do that to help the men save some Motel money and he's pretty preached I think Wednesday Thursday and Friday I want to see him want to talk to him and I called the room up till 10 o'clock and I didn't get anybody on Friday night they were leaving Saturday morning and and and I thought well I'm not gonna bother and maybe they come in what to be the next morning I hole without jet crawfish room at 8 o'clock miss Robertson is putting their things in the trunk and I said how are you doing well hey brother body I said how about dr. Lee I was hoping I could eat breakfast no I said and I cut up to my cinemas Robertson you and him are to Olga stay absolutely I said I called 10 o'clock last night and I said I couldn't ditch you and

you let me tell you folks don't you you listen you kids I don't care what happens and how God don't you never get to the place where do you think your son let him that think of these things let him

here let me say that let me say this be be that person I think it honestly I gotta quit but listen I was thinking about Rick Adams Rick Adams at Trinity in Jacksonville you know Rick he pastors a church and and I haven't seen him in years he patted in Oregon I know he's in Oregon but let me tell you what happened Rick was out on his bus route one day and he got a new family I think it was five kids and and it was going to come the next morning lady said they don't have good clothes and all that and he anyway he said yes and he went to get him next morning and two of them didn't have any shoes and she was not gonna let him go in Florida I mean it was watered but she was not gonna let her children go without shoes that might be different and he said I pleaded and pleaded with and after I doesn't plant my hat and she said oh no Rick said I just told her it if I put my shoes off for you let him go and she said you won't do that he said well he said I pulled my shoes off and I got old five huh well grace let us preach that day and he said I thought man Rich Hill will exact here you sitting by counter with Sudan I believe he's my foot and he was but he won all that family to Christ to see now listen let's have compassion let's have convictions let me hurry let's have convictions you see compact some of us think conviction to sin but I'll tell you I know that's not it you have compassion with it here's here's I think this was a great lesson of a great day illustration Daniel do you remember about Daniel it says in daniel 1:8 he purposed in his heart he was going to defile himself like Kings me he got in there and and the Prince of the eunuchs said the king says you got to eat his food now wait a minute David didn't jump up bless God I'll tell you I mean Daniel I'll tell youse no no if you read that story Daniel found favor with him Daniel was not a compromiser but he had conviction but he had compassion and he said and and this man said to him said well if you were if if the overs your if y'all are not you and your three buddies here said that she said if you don't have if you're not as healthy he said that he'll kill us and he's not tell you what you do let us just eat our food for 10 days and then you look at he come back and that that eunuch said well y'all are better stronger than us you see compassion with conviction makes a difference and you follow him and most study note in the in the Book of Daniel and boy they said that man has the Living God you see what I'm saying but he did not compromise whatsoever I mean even when he was put down in the den alive God took care of him he wouldn't mean and you remember after Nebuchadnezzar died Bale chatter came along and you know the big thing dig he had out there and how the spoke to him and he seen the writing on the wall and you know what the Queen said he's not wonder what this about and she says there's a man there you are you see folks people can take knowledge we've been with Jesus and we don't have to compromise we stand for the truth but that woman says why don't you get that man your father you know what happened there he revealed why his his a vision and get him see they had confidence in him you see and when he went over and Darris you know when the Medes and Persians would and and the more boys said he was on known to own a staff of soul but some fellows that hated and they said we got to get him off here some way I tell you neighbor one thing less and they go till Kings if you remember and they say King how about making a degree if he pray pray to anybody but you for 30 days how about how about you how about you just strolling the fire he said okay and then he said you watch boys would get him you know what he does he just kept on praying every day three times a day his swing as well and he's pretty honest that's him what happened yeah he got down he got in the den of lines yes and the other boys they got into fiery furnace but they didn't have to be mean about it you see compact and God brought on by what you see I'm just saying that with this we need have have some convictions stand true to the Bible I don't have time with larga these fellows what translation I've been preaching this book for 62 years and old feller said I know it's not good English but I ain't found nothing wrong with it there's nothing not if it's nothing is if it works dude don't don't bother leave it alone I mean you know you don't have to argue try to prove the Bible let's prove this and just make this stand for the Word of God and this thing you'll have some convictions based on the Word of God soul-winning boy how are we getting the Word of God out like this man has convictions to have this mate in Charlotte and we need to we need to have some Bible convictions you get the word or get the Word of God out and so on and then I say this we need to be consistent consistent be instead faced unmoving always about it in the work of the Lord I mean just don't get fired up today and in your out the Mardy just stay consistent consistent that's what I'm trying to say Justin and get the Word of God out have have convictions that we need to send out mission and this is by the way you fellas Church planners come let's come by on me all the time and said the Lord is leading me out west to plant churches I said how about planting the church and growing it you understand what I mean that's the man told me two or three years ago in South Dakota he said brother body there's three little churches out here where people come to East Coast and they come out here and got him started run into a stuntman and backed off and took off and don't have anybody that's a bad testimony say stay in there stick in there see if you going out west or up north or in English wherever I'm right here and you stay in there and that God had to that church and staying there you don't need to run and I'm not talking about some foreign country I'm told my right here in America and get a little something started running run get a little something else our ghetto and gets a get of church there that get it established and stay in there and then that church can't be blessed financially to send out and get out others my friend I'm saying we got to and please don't misunderstand me when I say this I'm not saying because that I've been gospel a for long I'm not saying that I'm not trying to set no record or nothing I'm just trying to do God's will people say well Bobby when you'll retire I don't plan to retire you ask God about it listen I left a pastor

trouble and we got churches down south all the country were preachers of state for a little while and in the dome and in their gowns then they're gone they're gone it's easy to shout when everything's
