Keep On Standing

now let's go to work in the third chapter of the book of Ephesians something quite interesting is there and I want to take it and I want to lift from the context what I think might be beneficial to those of you who are Christians Christians those of you who are believers those of you who are members of the body of Christ we want to approach it from a different angle I've always preached this right for many years but I took another look at it and I want to share with you what I feel are some other truths that we can gather from Ephesians chapter number six verse 13 and verse 14 verse 13 verse 14 I'm gonna read it again we read it but I want to read it again wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to span stand therefore now we have the word span here triple times you can underline it wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day that you may be able to withstand in the evil day you want underline withstand that's gonna be important I'll be using it in exchangable II in the message and having done all to stand stand therefore so the Apostle Paul uses multiple times the word stand and because it is important I think probably the thinking of the Apostle Paul was that those of us who are children of God because he is writing to the church at Ephesus he is writing to the church at Ephesus and he is instructing the church at Ephesus that the time is going to come when you're going to need the wherewithal to be able to stand as you deal with the V Institute of life and so Paul is very clear on this and he is duplicitous in talking about stand because he mentioned it's he mentions it at least three times withstand and having done all to stand stand therefore which means that you're going to need reinforcements and there's only come times in your life as a child of God and if you're not a child of God you need to listen carefully and if you are a child of God you also need to listen very carefully because and it does not matter who you are doesn't matter where you're from it does not matter who you might think you might be if you're a child of God that you need to be clear on this and that is there will be the Institute's in your life there will be difficult that will make them wait make that way into your life and you're going to need the wherewithal to be able to stand you're not gonna be you're not talking about spending one-time parties letting us know that there will come times when we need to stand and then stand again and then stand there and not only that but he is making sure we understand that we have to withstand which made the the things that you stood against at one time you may have to stand against those same things again and he's also saying to those of us who are children of God he said listen to the church at Ephesus is important for you to understand standing is important when it comes to the life of a child and God spending is important that reasons funding is important is Satan is a rolling line and he's going about seeking whom he may devour so Paul is saying with stade you're gonna have to not only stand but you're gonna have to whistling and not only are you gonna have to withstand but you're gonna have to stand and then you find yourself having to stand again so what he does here is he gives us a reason to spare he gives us information that will assist us in our fight against the devil himself because he is a roaring lion and he comes at us in more than just one weight now you say well I thought the devil last week well if you were successful against the devil last week then be certain that he is coming again so if you still against him and if you resisted him last week be careful how you pat yourself on the shoulder because he is not finished with you yet because if you stood a Foursquare against him last week then he you're going to come against you in another way so so it is important therefore that those of us who are children of God that we are clear on what it is and how we are to conduct ourselves in the face of adversity how are we to conduct ourselves when the warriors of adversity come against us and when the sea of life becomes impetuous and when friends turned their backs on us when we are in a situation of the where we are being bombarded by backstabbers and bad stuff as are out there there are folks out there who were laughed in your face and stab you in the back so you may have gotten over at one time we call being repetitive here is saying to you you may have to stand more than one time and so he says having stood there for then just keep on standing now I need to I need to introduce to you a term or couple of terms that I need you to pay attention to because I'm going to be emphasizing the the essential allottee of the terms that I'm going to give you now the terms that I'm going to give you are two anis and and it's called irreducible complexity irreducible complexity everybody said irreducible complexity now you got two big words you see if you didn't learn anything from church at least you learn to be words this morning and it's called irreducible complexity let me explain it to you and simplify it so as you don't think that I'm trying to get above you academically ri-ight intellectually irreducible complexity now the term irreducible complexity is a system it is a system it is a system that requires certain other systems or components that are necessary for the system to operate now I may can be more simplistic than that I don't know that again but irreducible complexity is a system it is a system that consists of certain component parts and the unique thing about an irreducible complexity is that if all of the parts in the system does not work and are not working it renders the system ineffective in other words this system irreducible complexity this system demands that every system every part works and it works the same way the same time every time and if any one of these component parts does not work then the system doesn't work that's irreducible complexity now the reason I went over that is because as those of you those of us who are children of God as we move through life as you go through life you're gonna have to have a system but what you deal with whatever it is that you are dealing with and not only must you have a system by which and through which you deal with your difficulty you need to understand that you that you need an irreducible complexity which means you need an irreducible complex system which operates based on every component caught working and if every component part is not working and and playing his part or its part the system does not work so what you and I need as a child of God you need an irreducible complexity when it comes to dealing with life which gives us a clearer picture of what it takes to be able to stand to be able to stand you and let me simplified further by saying in order for you to deal effectively with whatever your problem is you need a system you need a plan that works all the time and does not change you need a plan that you can go to knowing full well that you will get results that you will get help in time of trouble and the plans that you have does not change and you have faith in that plan because you believe that the plan works and it doesn't just work sometime it works every time well that's a mindset so those of you who may be going through difficulty those of you who may be having programs in your life as a child of God because as a child of God it doesn't mean that you are exempt from programs as a child of God you remember the Church of Christ but you still could have real problems in your life and many a time those problems come from folks in the church so what you need to do is you need to have an irreducible complexity that you you every day and every time and the reason you need an irreducible complexity is that Paul says you not only have to spend one time you may have to stand another time and you may have to stand another time so which means you need a system that worked every time well that God has given us God has given us and a spiritual irreducible complex system that's a system that we can depend on that's a system that what's in our lives as children of God every time and according to our needs the 14th chapter of the book of st. John and verse number 23 you may want to write that down st. John the 14th chapter and verse number 23 the son of God Jesus Christ who died for our sins on the cross speaks and what does he say jesus answered and said unto him jesus answered and said unto him if a man love me now watch this if a man loves me he will keep my words he will keep my word watch the word now if a man loves me and keep my word and my father will love him and my father will love him and we will come unto him and we will come what I'm developing here is an irreducible complexity every child of God even when the words may be big I'm saying to you you need a system because you cannot deal with life by yourself you cannot conquer life by yourself you need help and and and the kind of help you need should be must be irreducible and that is you need the kind help that you can go to bring your media and that help works every time now we have a guarantee for that you ever guarantee for that and this is what this is why are members of the body of Christ show to the joys because we do have a irreducible complex system that God has set up for us if a man will love me and keep my word my father will love him grow love him and we will card agree and we will come in unto him and make our abode with them what are you doing preacher I am developing for those of us who need spiritual help help that your friend cannot give you help that you need bring all s failed you need to be able to go to someone you need to be able to go somewhere that you can receive the kind of help that you need and help is always available David understood that David says I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence cometh my help my help comes from the Lord and-and-and-and you see I David had irreducible him I'll get to him if I have a minute as we move forward David had irreducible help that is when he needed help he went to the Lord and and not only did he go to the Lord but he recognized believed and has faith in the Lord he had faith in the system because david knew that the source of help that he needed came from the Lord and their help did not change because David understood that whatever God said God would do and so God has different each of us God has given you an irreducible complexity so what I'm trying to say to you is even though you are members of the church and thanks and even though your members of the body you parents and even though you have been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ just know that does not exempt you from trials and tribulation that does not your membership for the body of Christ does not exempt you from being stabbed in the back your being a member of the body of Christ does not exempt you from folk trying to assassinate your reputation so what you need and what I need is an irreducible complexity what you and I need we need a system in our lives a system of course in quotes we need a system in our lives that we believe if we go to and if we tell our troubles to this system that God has set up help will then be on the way but that depends on faith and I'll get to that of course are in just a minute now in John chapter 14 and verse number 26 you need to write that down John chapter 14 and verse number 26 because what I'm doing here I'm expelling an irreducible complexity I am saying to all of the believers that trouble will come and trouble will come at a time you do not expect it you may have overcome this trouble one time but that doesn't mean that the same trouble will come back so having stood one time doesn't mean that you would not have to stand again it haven't split the second time it doesn't mean that you would not have to stand again so you fought one time and you thought you thought you defeated that devil you fought again when he showed up again and then you fought again when he showed up again well uh he will constantly come but if you have an irreducible complexity if you have something within you that God has given you and you have faith in that you can defeat the devil every time now in the 14th chapter of the book of Saint John and if you write that down in verse number 26 I want you to read you what does the Bible say but the confident watch this now if they ever was of rest listen to me carefully if they ever were verse in the Bible that proved and showed the the Trinity and that is the doctrine of the Trinity too much we believe Surrey believe we believe in the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit and we believe that and we believe that the Trinity is made clear in the Bible now the word Trinity does not appear in the Bible that word does not appear in the Bible well what does appear is the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit and and they are three now what I'm saying to you is you really don't need a lot of verses if you remember this verse or you'll do well in explaining the Trinity when when when those who are in denominations will say to you that there was only one everyone here was there was only one there's no three places all in Warlick well this is diverse to me and this verse will assist you as you deal with those who have a different idea about the Trinity of God now what what the Bible says the Bible says brother confident that as one does one you see the comforter is the Holy Spirit Jesus says I'm gonna go away and I'm going to send to your comforter and he's going to be with you and he's gonna be you he's talking about the Holy Spirit so the Holy Spirit there is the comforter and the comforter is the Holy Spirit that's one all right now the Bible says what with which is the holy ghost killed the father what is the hook which is the Holy Ghost now that's that's one all right and then the Bible says whom the father will sit down home the father that's true that's so what are you doing preacher I'm free I'm proving that there are three in the God here God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit and I'm also simplifying it by telling you and you don't need with just one verse and this is the book you can just circle that one and and if you ever if you ever have a conversation with with with those in the Jesus only denomination then of course you've got that circle and if you never need to refer to it you've got a circle now the Bible says but the comforter which is the Holy Ghost that's one whom the father that's God the Father that's to whom the father will send in my name mandate that's Jesus because you see Jesus is the speaker and Jesus says now the comforter which is the Holy Ghost whom the father was sin in my name shall teach you all things now that's three if you can count the three that's three well why are you dealing with that brother preacher because I'm trying to develop in your mind and in your heart and give you a mindset that will help you as a believer as you deal with the realities of life in other words I'm trying to show you that whether you know it or not I'm trying to show you that you have a spiritual irreducible complexity that works the same way all the time you say you have a you you have heaven working for you and when you pray to God for help and for substances substance God will give you what you need for what you needed fall but they holy spirit dwells in you of cutting the woman chapter 8 jesus christ dwells in you according to roman a god the father dwells in you that's according to Romans chapter 8 so are the father dwells in you the master Jesus Christ dwells in you and the Holy Spirit dwells in you so what do you have well you have an irreducible complexity it's really what you have because I've explained to you what that is and and that is a system of complex parts that works the same way every time and one and the system does not work if one of the components in the system does not work so what does that mean that means whatever whatever God says Jesus says whatever Jesus says the Holy Spirit said because they don't work against each other so big as a believer and as you go through life you have in you you have dwelling in you and irreducible complexity you have free that dwells in you the father and the Son and the Holy Spirit so what joy it is to know that you have not only the comforter but you have the father and of course you have Jesus Christ dwelling with you and not only are they drilling at Deuteronomy 31 do to Remini 31 and verse number 6 we'll we'll take a look at that but I not only I do they dwell in every believer not only do they dwell in every believer but they assured you see if you're a child of God this irreducible complexity the indwelling of the Godhead now the this spiritual irreducible complexity is nothing more than the godhead said dwells in every child of God and the reason I'm driving this is because you want to need their help more than once and so if you're going to spend and then have to spend and then spent again you're going to need help to do that and now that I do you are you gonna need help but you're gonna need help form from a source that does not change you you the help you need comes from above but not only is it coming from above but is heavenly help and it does not change each part of this spiritual irreducible complexity works the same way every time God does not promise you one thing today and take it back tomorrow because one thing about God is you cannot lie not only that but he does not change now even in the Old Testament even in the Old Testament do durometer whatever our Savior did one many 31 in verse number six the Bible says be strong now see not only does this irreducible complexity in you which is God the Father God the Son God the Holy Spirit what you are assured that help is on the way you are assured that you have this help yes I and what are you doing preacher I'm trying to give your mindset I'm trying to help you understand that even though the the Institutes of life even though the Tempah to assess of your life come upon you you have help and it's heavenly help and it's help provided yes irreducibly by the Father by the Son and the Holy Spirit yes and so that's what gets you through your difficulty because your difficulty I will surely come I think I call do to remedy 3000 and verse number six this is the assurance that you get you see this is the assurance of that God gives this is the assurance that God gives every child of God this is the assurance that you have as you go through life as a child of God ah and God does not change here's what he says to you he says be strong and of good courage and a good courage fear not fear not nor be afraid be afraid of them for the LORD thy God with me and he will not fail thee nor forsake thee you say that's what this inward constituency does for every believer yes yes forever believe you are not in this fight by yourself now you may have friends who you would love for them to help you but they're not able to help you because this may be a spiritual battle and if it's a spiritual battle you need spiritual help if it's a spiritual battle you need heavenly help and and and and in this in this complex system because you can explain you cannot explain of the the Father the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ in a way that the earthly mind will clearly understand it because God is too complex for that I think I told you the other day that there was only one God every only one God but Jesus does not the Holy Spirit is God and the father is God but there's only one God well you work out and work on arithmetic is that work out of math is that I mean how does 1 plus 1 plus 1 is not 3 well that's because you use it in a mathematical system 1 written in the Bible or in the spiritual realm 1 plus 1 plus eat was would praise the name of Jesus without ones out of this critics say that but so you need help and you need spiritual health so you do not need to go home from this service with with the idea that there is no help for you there is hope for you and the way to receive that here and to overcome the difficulty of life you have to put your faith in God now what most fifty Hebrews 13 verse number five with the Lord where the the apostle of the writer of the Hebrew letter hopes that heavenly help which is God Christ in the Holy Spirit and the scripture makes known as holy by the Holy Spirit I will never leave you nor forsake you you you have that assurance I will never leave you nor forsake you so going through whatever you're going through you must not believe you must not think that there is no hope for me that man that there is help for you and not only that it helps your endurance it helps your endurance now the reason I said he helps you in bills because you see there was some things that gets on your nerve there was just say man when you can you know and there are some people that will get on your nerves I just I want to stay with that except to remind you that you may feel I got this I got this you know I I'll cook a bit yeah but but if you stay there long enough that's gonna come up again and so what you need is heavenly help and temptations and trials and tribulations if you will live godly you shall suffer persecution so persecutions are going to come but not only our persecution and they're going to come but what I'm trying to teach you is you have assurance and you have assurance from an irreducible it does not change it does not change God is the same yesterday today and forever that does not change and with that mindset you ought to be able to deal with the V Institute of your life know everything that God has forgotten me the other thing that God doesn't know I'm going I'm going through this yes he does know that you are going through this and and Paul is saying that you have to stay and not once not twice but sometimes more than that you have to stay so you have to have an attitude because the same trouble might keep coming the same difficulties might keep coming the same devil might see coming the same devil does not go away he may go away for an hour or two but when you look up he comes again so Paul is saying as a believer you must not only be satisfied with defeating the devil and resisting the devil one time just know that you have to do it more than one time but don't be over much cast down because you have a system within you Eames furniture system within you that consists of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit you may not know how you're gonna get through this you may not know when you're gonna get through this but here's what you know sooner or later in God's Way he is going to take care of it that's the attitude then if you have that attitude then you'll be able to deal with in the Institute of life and but it's going to take faith you see is gonna take faith and I got a hurry here it's going to take faith it's going to take faith you have to believe that you have to believe it because if you don't believe that you will become melancholy if you don't believe that you will become desolate in your if you don't believe that you will feel like there is no help for me in other words I have a problem that even God can't have you don't have a problem that God can't happen if it's drugs God can have it through Jesus Christ whatever it is if it's drinking drunkenness whatever it is God can have it through Jesus Christ you don't have a real problem even though we may say yes I do for the preacher I have a not really what you really need is faith in God because faith will get you through the front end and the back end and it's important to understand that and it's also important to understand this principle and that is this I need to write this down there are two kinds of faith now you may come up with a third kind a fourth camp but I but for my benefit and for the benefit of this message there are two kinds of faith there two kinds of faith and you need to understand what those two kinds of faith are number one the first kind of faith is delivering faith because they I'm talking about standing and and and if I'm going to talk about spending I have to show you how to be delivered and if you're going to be delivered from whatever it is you want you're gonna make faith but there two kinds of faith one is delivering faith and the other is sustaining faith you need to write that down deliver in faith and sustaining faith and you need to know the difference between the two because if you know the different between the two then you may think God has not answered me while God may your happiness with you but you don't want to spend that kind of faith you have to have to believe and know that God has answered you so in order to do that and to be successful in standing you need to know that two kinds of faith here the two kinds of faith that I need one is the liver and faith and that faith is important and the other one is sustained now you see that in the life of David you see that in the life of David Goliath over there they say Sidney oh man and all of his rule is backing up afraid to deal with Goliath David is saying our meeting David believed that God would deliver him out of the hand of the liar so David had delivering faith so he goes down by the by the book and he picks up five smooth stones and you know the story comes back put him in a sling shot put one in the slingshot pulls it and hit the giant in his forehead that giant fell David walks up tickles took the giant sword and cut his head off that's delivering things God didn't live a day that's one kind of faith ah but there are difficulties that will come against you where you will need more than delivering things you will need sustaining faith you remember that God ordained David when he was a young boy fifteen years old but Saul was on the throne but God had told David you were going to be the king of Israel but he's only 15 years old and Saul is on the throne and of course Saul had evil spirits to come after him at times and he was accosted by evil spirits and they recommended to soil saw that when the evil spirits showed up sent for David because David was a musician and David could play and by David plan it was soon assumed the heart of the king King Saul and David would play for Saul David would go to the kingdom and before the throne he would he would play for for King King Saul now but david knew David knew that at some point that flow was going to be here because God had promised him to throw I God had appointed him God had appointed him God had anointed him he had not appointed everybody had anointed him and that's a good subject to talk about too because some folks you know I don't know the difference between ignoring it and appoint him you know you can be anointed but not appointed but that's a whole nother subject but david knew that God had appointed him anointing him to be king over Israel David knew at some point he was going to become king of Israel he knew that but in the meantime he couldn't be king he couldn't have the flow because Saul was on the throne so then what David went through and to make a long story short Saul became jealous of David somehow saw figured out that this boy's gonna be king and so Saul became jealous of David and saw trying to kill David and the Bible talks about that that's on the sphere of the dick that the Saul had and you through this and he threw that spear at David and of course from the Providence of God of the spear didn't no harm so chase David all over the Land of Israel and David had to hide in caves to get away from King Saul but david knew that at some point God was going to anoint him as king now the only way for God to anoint David as King David had to have sustained in faith David had to keep believing I don't know when but God is going to make me king of Israel and so when the king is throwing us a spear at him when when the king is sending men to get David out of a cave to kill David David is hiding he's hiding in caves he's hiding in the world what is he doing he believed that God is going to do what he said but in order for him to receive the kingship of Israel he must not only have faith he must have sustained in faith he said what I'm saying so there was a difference now when he killed the lion that was delivering faith but if he he is going to get me the phone of Israel he's going to have to have sustaining faith that means he's going to have to keep believing so that's what Paul and I just got to my subject since that's what Paul meant when Paul said our having done all to stand stand therefore see what I'm saying so David was standing there for David had already stood he already believed God he had already believed that God would fight his battle because he had God assisted him in the Battle of the Rif Goliath but now the king is after him the king is trying to kill him the king is Florida spear at him trying to kill him now God is not delivering that's the point I need them at this point over here when he met Galia God delivered him but for thirteen years Saul tried to kill him but for thirteen years God didn't deliver him from Saul Saul kept on chasing him God Essaouira kept on trying to kill him and it just looked like that there was no deliverance for David well God had already delivered him he believed he believed that but what he needed was this what he needed to get on the throne he had to have sustained in faith he had to believe that the same God that was with him when he killed the lion that same God would be with him when God decided it was time for him to go on the throne now you see it maybe you see it maybe that the opposition that you're going through at this moment that you can't shake you know we go through trials and tribulations and we can't shake you know and every morning you wake up we've got the same problem here and there's some potent circuit that that doesn't seem you can get along with or there are certain things in your life that you can't seem to deal with certain things can come into your life together because this is a strong court certain things can come into your life that you can deal with but there are other things that might come into your life that you're not quite able to deal with you say that there are difficulties that can come into your life that were purple you there are difficulties that will come into your life that will call all kinds of physical and mental and spiritual problems because of the way because of the weight because of the weight and that is it is a situation that may be comparable to every day every year every week same thing I can't shake this thing I'm not doing anything wrong I just can't shake this whatever it is it happens it happens and you say well why is God not why is God not moving because here's a key and I got a quick ah here was the key brother preacher I can't get over there I just can't get over it sorry can't get over I tried I can't get over I just can't get over here's the lesson I'm trying to teach you and that he is David through delivering faith delivering delivering deliverance faith kill Goliath but his trouble was solved for thirteen years he did not deliver him now watch dad watch this you see there are certain troubles that God expect you to outlast our system right there you mystery but I says you see there are some things you have to out last there were some things that God may or may not move in your life because he expects you to out fast and that's a that's an important key he expects you to out classic that's because you have everything you need to outlast you see you have an irreducible complexity built in and and that irreducible complexity will work for you it'll work for you immediately it will work for you in in the short term and the long term but you're gonna have to have the kind of faith it takes for the God here that dwells in you to work for you there are some things in your life that you have to outlast just know that just know that you have to have an attitude that tells you and show you the difference between what I need to distinguish as those things I need to uh glass because you see God knows what you can stand and what you cannot stand yeah and those things he has not moved it may mean that those are the things that you have to outlast because you see that their opposition that comes into a believers life it could be schoolwork it could be a school teacher it could be a wife it could be a husband it could be a relationship it could be a boyfriend it could be a girlfriend it could be an employer on the job their stuff that can come into your life that really bothers you that really get next to you and if you're not careful you begin to wonder why I haven't God move this stuff see that's where you need sustaining and and God knows how much you can stand and if you are still in it and still praying for it and it hasn't moved it may mean that God wills you to spend therefore and outlast the opposition because there was there were times of difficulties they are cut and I'll finish this tonight there kinds of troubles that will come to a believer that will come to a child of God that you just have to hourglass understanding just see and the lesson of David is important the lesson of David really says to you I said you see David then says well I'm gonna kill song and David had an opportunity to kill saw but but then he remembered that God said be careful how you treat the God's anointed he may not be doing what he is doing but you should be doing but he's God anointed and you'd be careful how you three guards annoying it and so what did David do and for thirteen years David just kept running and and he stayed with the Lord and then finally after thirteen years Saul was killed and back and you know the story I told you about Saul and Jonathan and refurbishing and then David ascended to the throne so there was some things in your life that you may have to live with that's what I found Roger there's some things in your life you may have to live with I don't want you to go through life blaming God and not having faith in God because he hasn't moved something don't do that it may be that God wants you to outlast because God knows what he's gonna do about your troubles so he knows he's gonna have your trouble what he need you to do is to outlast the trouble see God knew this always wasn't gonna keep God knew that and God knew he was gonna move him he knew that but the thing is we have to have the kind of faith that's called sustaining faith God hasn't moved it but I have faith to believe that he will and if he doesn't he was me to outlast it off you gotta hope you got it now if you hear and and like I said I'll finish this tonight if the Lord say so oh if you hear this going and you a child of God and you are going through things that just does not seem to move it's just dumb it does not seem to move it does not seem to get any better well this is where your sustaining faith should take over and just see it as something that God wants you to outlast because if you keep living and you maintain faith in him God in his own way will change the situation and if he does not change it it is because he wants you to outlast and how do you outlast it you outlast it through sustaining faith and how did you do that for remember the old Ryan he may not come when you are but he's always on time don't think God he's picking on you God is picking on me God mad with me it may very well be that all you need is faith in God and he sustained in faith let God turn it over to the Lord lady in hand because God knows the bearing weight of your shoulders he knows what you can handle and he's not gonna put more on you than you can handle and it may be that something better is down the road if you just hold on a little bit I can really deal with that but time without allowed you be just be careful how you step out you know the traces just be careful how you say I'm feeling you who is not a word the word is through I'm through with you I'm through I'm through with you and I'll tell you what I all of you should go for that concern [Applause] but that's the way it is you know when we come to the point where we get fed up you say man when you can I know you dressed up looking like a Christian but before you jump out of the traces before you do something different desperate it's kind of waiting on the law and just remember they that wait oh no but I'm not talking about just waiting and and and believe in nothing will happen but doc I'll wait yeah but I don't believe nothing gonna happen no no you need sustaining faith I believe God is gonna take care of this situation or he's gonna fix me so I can handle the situation so just have not just delivering faith but sustaining faith and when time come to stand Paulson having done all to stand span therefore its ass painting faith it's gonna be all right you gonna be able to have it that's what I'm saying whatever it is if your child of God if you're a Christian you will be able to handle it all you need is faith in God and God bless mean if you don't have the kind of faith you need to get the kind of faith and if you need strength for us to pray for you that God will give you that sustaining faith it's not that you don't believe you believe is just that you've been in this I've been in this situation so long until you just believe that God has forgotten about you no no he had forgotten you God had not forgotten that he promised David the throne well what about when David's trying to kill me throwing a spear at me what about when David has me running all through the woods and hiding in caves I mean look what God is saying just Paulo help is on the way you just need faith in God and God will come into your life and not only that but the scripture says he would he will never leave you nor forsake you he's always there all we have to do is have faith to believe that he's there and if you're a child of God if you're Christian and you want the church to pray for you that God will give you what you need for what you need it for and if you're not remember the Bible the Church of crisis in the Bible here's what you need to do and if you want this irreducible complexity that God gives for all those that are here and this irreducible complexity that God gives to us is the indwelling of God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit and and these three were coming to your life to give you what you need for what you need it for all you need is sustaining faith don't lose your faith don't lose your faith and if God has not moved it in a visible way don't give up because he's hey because he may have something better for you on the other side if you believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God and if you if you're willing to repent of your sins and say yes to Jesus if you're willing to confess with your mouth what your heart believe and that it is the Christ the Son of the Living God if you're willing to baptized for remission of your sins God will add you to the church and we were baptized in this morning and the angel will Rachel names in the land book of life have you been baptized for remission of the sins have you been added to the church that you can find in the Bible do you need the Lord in your life the strengthen your sustaining faith you need the Lord in your life to help you with delivering faith believing that God is going to take care of this and if he doesn't take care of it he's going to give me what I need so I could sustain my faith and keep my hand in his hand I would ask you to say yes to Jesus I would ask you to say yes to the Lord and we will do that by extending to you the invitation to come to Jesus Christ is there anybody here they need the Lord is there anybody here who want to say yes to Jesus this is the time not tomorrow today is the important day this is the day of salvation we're gonna give you an opportunity to do that to do to do that I
